I have owned my Mustang head for at least a year now and I love it. Would have been nice to have the dials on the front of the amp. I recently got a call from a old friend we need help our guitar player is no longer with us. We have a show in Cleveland can you make it? I brought the Mustang V head and two small Marshall 1X10 speaker cabs for the mini Marshall Stack. Everything is mic'd today so no worries about drummers any more. Between this amp and the Roland / Fender Stratocaster I had the perfect tone all night. From playing Iron Maiden to ZZ Top I was very pleased with the set up. Digital has come a long way. Its not the best amp in the world, I will not sell my Marshall full stack and I am not a Fender fanboy. What I am is someone who knows what works for me to get the best sound possible; even my Les Pauls sound great going through this rig. Well worth the cash for this amp.

Purchased this only a week ago so any long term issues not uncovered. I have this Amp on top of a Marshall full stack (2 - 4x12 cabs). I wish the manual controls were on the front so I didn't need a step stool to use them. However, using the Fuse software on a laptop you can do anything (and more than) you need to do. Still if you set your presets as you plan to play, the 4 button switch can handle the job. The labeling on the back panel is backwards! The left channels are to your right, the right to your left! It doesn't make any difference the way I use it, but if you want to take full advantage of the stereo imaging then it means you take care. I wish it had a balance knob and even a channel muting switch for when stereo imaging is important. And how about the ability to plug two instruments in, one with each channel? But, I see the price increasing even as I say these things.
The amplifier gives wonderful bang for the buck. With a 60's Brit Amp selected and my Marshall Full stack it gives me the sound I wanted.
The amp looks a bit fragile to be lugging it around. There isn't even corner protectors (something I intend to change as soon as I get permission from Fender). Since the plan is to allow local churches and perhaps our small town community borrow it for special occasions I need to package it a bit better. Again, the price far outweighs not getting corner protection!
In all I am a VERY happy camper. The amp and cabs make me sound much better than I actually am and I rarely use overdrive or distortion! Most fun I've had since Motorcycle Racing.

Bought this head a year ago. Love the effects, and versatility. works great with my cabinets. I run it thru a 412 stereo cab, or a 115 black widow cab, and I never lose sound quality.

I needed an amp for a backup to my marshall jcm 900 4100 100 watt after an issue as I was about to play a show. I had to use my friends head as my other amp lost its foot pedal (125.00 to replace). I went to my local music store and played with peavey vyper, I had previously got a line 6 spider 4 and it was returned the same week ( and I bought 200.00 extra pedal 600.00 total) and it was good but at high volume garbage.
This amp is loud, clear, and will play over drummer on 3-4 it's got free software included to record and make settings...
So many features I can't even honestly tell you ill be able to use to their full extent for awhile.
Overall buy without worry play live and it's replaced my marshall it's that good

Review this movie
Nov 13, 2014"Broken City" 10 Scale Rating: 4.5 (Mediocre) ...
The Good: I liked what they were trying to do. A hard boiled crime noir type of film set in modern times sounds like a good idea and was definitely a different way of going about this sort of film. I also can't complain about the acting. While no one was amazing, no one did a poor or mediocre job either.
The Bad: It just doesn't work. While the idea was a good one, the pacing and tone felt out of place in a modern film. This means that either a. this sort of thing isn't possible or b. it was poorly written and directed. The plot also unravels towards the end and you're left with a pretty formulaic film overall.… Expand
Feb 19, 2014If you wish to see Russel Crowe speaking American and wearing a hair piece it is OK. For men they added Catherine Zeta Jones and for us chicks there is the charismatic Marc Wahlberg and an actor called Pepper who does not even have salt and pepper. However, I did not fall asleep - Admit Wahlberg does it for me.
Feb 1, 2014It's one of those movies who you just have to watch it and decide for yourself and stop reading reviews about it, because the reviews are mixed and disturbing 50% are good and the other 50% are bad,
and the reason for this is that the movie is so easily to misunderstood. some say it's a predictable plot, some say awful screenplay or awful directing and i say it's an enjoyable movie with a great message behind it.
it's a crime/thriller movie, definitely not the best in the genre but it's good in so many levels that people tends to ignore.
the performances were solid, obviously (Mark,Russell and Zeta-Jones), the screening was beautiful and the music was very good, the plot is average but what do you expect from a movie about Corruption, i mean it might be a predictable but it have a great message behind it.… Expand
Dec 21, 2013Broken city digs into the broken politicians, so I give it points for that, but the movie is slow and forgettable. This movie sure disappointment me. It`s an average movie, even when things pick up here and there it`s just not enough to make up for the rest.
Nov 18, 2013Wow. One can picture the director turning to the producer and asking "Should we go with cheese or cliche for this scene?" and the answer invariably being "Both". The blackmail part was the only authentic scene in the whole Turd I'm guessing because they had to extort these actors to get them to buy into this mess. There must have been a "I will never have to watch this piece of garbage" clause in their contracts....Actually, Wahlberg has probably seen it a few times.… Expand
Aug 31, 2013Great thriller but not for everyone. It seems that some critics want to get surprised from something in a film, and that's why they always say bad things about them. Watch it!! That's my opinion.
Aug 9, 2013"Broken City" quickly descends into a quicksand of clichés, and the results are meager and completely insubstantial. This is a story about power and its abuse in the city, and there are a countless amount of films that have covered this storyline already.Though it's runtime clocks in at a compact 109 minutes, it feels much longer than that. It's never outright boring, but it lacks an accumulative impact.
Mark Wahlberg stars a Billy Taggart, a New York cop is forced to resign after a controversial shooting. But no worries, Mayor Nicholas Hostetler (Russell Crowe) has his back. He hires Billy, now a private investigator, to catch Mrs. Mayor (Catherine Zeta-Jones) screwing around. What seems like a simple adultery case opens a rat's nest of political corruption.
The plot quite simply is little confusing. Several subplots wander off into oblivion never to return. It's occasionally hard to tell whether the Hughes brothers are winking at clichés, or merely adhering to the genre handbook. The script written by newcomer Brian Tucker is a bloody mess that has no sense of direction. Throughout the film, we're led to believe there will be some big "shock" a twist or secret that will cause us to gasp in shock. When it comes, it's so muted and unsurprising that it completely diminishes the film's climax.
The characters are poorly developed, but the overall performances are generally fine. In the right role, Mark Wahlberg can be a tremendous asset to any movie. Unfortunately, Billy is not the right role. Wahlberg is stiff and unconvincing and it quickly becomes apparent that the film would have benefitted from someone with a more volcanic temperament in the lead. As his adversary, Russell Crowe brings a little more to the part, but this isn't the New Zealand-born actor's finest hour. Catherine Zeta-Jones, continuing her comeback from obscurity, does a fine job.
Although well-made, altogether the end result is an unremarkable thriller. "Broken City" fails to impress, largely in part because there is nothing here we haven't seen before. That being said, "Broken City" isn't a terrible film, it's just not particularly memorable.… Expand
Jul 25, 2013Allen Hughes' intellectually vacant Broken City feels about as fake and pretentious as Russell Crowe's Kardashian-like spray tan and obnoxious blonde wig.
Jul 19, 2013A subpar movie from writing to directing. Drags on without obvious rewards.
The storyline is the age old cliche of "Mayor sells out the city to developers for personal gain" ...
All the "twists" are really no surprise at all, and I agree with another commenter that with a cast of Catherine Zeta Jones and Russell Crowe, the movie could have been better.
Jul 5, 2013Broken City is a film that can't really decide what it wants to be. From the beginnings of a story centred on Mark Wahlberg's character, Billy, it evolves into a standard conspiracy thriller, but never really gets going with either of them. There are vague stabs at joining the dots here and there, but without much success.
The first forty-five minutes are largely a throwaway and only loosely connected to the much stronger second half, the tenuous link mostly going through the character of Billy. This poses a big problem. Due to the fact that the role is so flimsy, what little attempts there are at filling him out in the early stages are completely redundant once the plot finally kicks in. Wahlberg does his best to give the guy some personality, but it's a constant uphill struggle. This leaves any efforts at poignant references to his past that come later feeling not only forced, but also unnecessary.
Once the movie begins to focus on the conspiracy, it becomes much more watchable, the dodgy character development holding less sway over the progression of the narrative. This isn't to say that it improves things hugely, just that it holds the attention much more effectively. It's tolerable and won't make you wish you'd defrosted the fridge rather than sit through it, but you've definitely seen it all before. There's no real sense of urgency about the whole thing and the mystery that is unraveled is positively trite and lacklustre. Having said that, the process of reaching the conclusion is executed reasonably well at times.
Despite the distinctly average presentation, there are a few scenes worthy of note. Barry Pepper's range in the film caught my eye, particularly as there is unsurprisingly very little in the way of fleshing out his character. Russell Crowe too, manages to dig out some of the menace that marks his best performances, but these occasions are very few. Other than these sparse moments, it's a very dreary outing for all concerned.
In addition to these issues, the resolution of the plot had a nasty habit of introducing new players into the mix that seemingly had not been mentioned previously. I'm not entirely sure if this was because I wasn't paying enough attention in the less agreeable sections of the picture, or if they were genuinely tacked on in wrapping things up. Either way, this should never be a complication in mainstream cinema and only confirms to me my opinion on the opening as uninteresting and superfluous, given where the film ends up.
Overall, it's not terrible, but it's almost certainly not worth the time. More or less everything about it is wholly ordinary and I was ultimately left disappointed.… Expand
Jun 29, 2013Having never seen the previews, I found myself immediately turned off by the cast/plot combo as described by my friends (who had only seen previews). Coming into the viewing with a negative outlook, I found myself very pleasantly surprised. While initially very slow and monotonous, the movie has decent twists and a fast pace when it comes to the fine details. I do believe, however, that some story elements were completely unnecessary (I'm referring to the relationship between Mark Wahlberg's character and his girlfriend.) While the movie is admittedly not perfect, overall I believe it is vastly underrated and I would definitely recommend it to intelligent and patient individuals. It is a political drama/thriller, for anyone wondering, but I found it to be true to reality with regards to how ruthless and insensitive people can be.… Expand
Jun 19, 2013Predictable and strangly poorly acted as well. I expected a lot more from these two. Maybe an aspect of a terrible script, screenplay, direction, I can go on and on.
Jun 2, 2013Broken City is an enjoyable movie with some good performances. Wahlberg and Crowd makes a middle of the road film a good one. See it once and you won't be disappointed.
May 30, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought this was a great movie. It is definitely one of those movies you have pay attention because there are a few plot twists. The one criticism I have is that there were a few slow parts and I thought there was going to be a little more action. But all in all a very good movie.… Expand
May 25, 2013Disappointing modern 'noir' has a great cast (Crowe, Wahlberg and Zeta Jones), but absolutely predictable plot that you can see from a mile off. Sure the basic concept was great, but they just needed a better screenplay. This film shows that some of the best film makers have left this genre and moved on to blockbuster territory (i.e. Nolan, Bryan Singer and David Fincher). The end result: films of such ho-hum quality as this one. A rental at best.… Expand
May 19, 2013Broken City is a very good movie but it's not the type of movie I thought it would be. That's not to say the trailers misrepresented the film in any way, only that Mark Wahlberg isn't known for his political thrillers. That being said, this was a very good political thriller with solid acting across the board, especially from Russell Crowe. The characters all developed well and the plot was great. The twists came about in a nice fashion, not out of left field where nobody could possibly see them coming, which has unfortunately become a trend in the increasingly uncreative Hollywood climate. The film did drag quite a bit and the ending felt a bit rushed when it happened but I'd say all-in-all this was a solid film that most people would enjoy.… Expand
May 11, 2013Good acting by the cast and the twist that happens mid-way through the film really keeps things fresh and puts you back on your toes to see how it plays out. I thought it was a rather enjoyable movie. I'd recommend it.
Apr 30, 2013Your standard action/drama............well actually somewhat below standard.......the plot line is obvious......ex-cop gets hired by corrupt politician to do something.....cops finds out more than he should and starts asking questions.........the dialog is painfully dry and obvious and even the mock political debates are just ripoffs of last year's newspaper headlines...........the acting....directing is okay.....but nothing out of the ordinary......I'm quite shocked that actors like Russel Crowe and Barry Pepper would agree to do mediocre stuff like this...........to sum up.....it's not good....it's not interesting....it's barely even entertaining.… Expand
Apr 23, 2013Mark Wahlberg has made a career out of gritty crime dramas but ultimately all of them are lackluster. Broken City doesn't really break that trend although it does have enough good qualities to make it worth a watch. The film follows Billy Taggert (Wahlberg), an ex cop turned private eye who is employed by the mayor of New York City (Russel Crowe) to investigate his wife's infidelity but the case ultimately leads to a minefield of death, danger and corruption. Firstly it must be said that Broken City continues the career resurgence of Catherine Zeta Jones whose work in both this and Side Effects is exemplary despite the small nature of both roles. In fact the acting in Broken City is excellent, especially that of Wahlberg himself. The only problem is Crowe who has the tendency to play a scene straight and then suddenly turn camp, he is inconsistent throughout and therefore the film really doesn't have a convincing or reliable villain, something that makes the film suffer in its closing. Another flaw is that much like Killing Them Softly, it's political commentary is quite heavy handed and in places incredibly insulting. The central mystery feels more like economics 101 than a story in a thriller and to be honest its fairly hard to call the film a thriller with only a couple of action based sequences in the entire film. It's a decent redemption story but its buried beneath a simplistic mystery and a disappointing script which doesn't really reach the gritty levels it strides for but can impress in its politics and acting, just not its storytelling.… Expand
Feb 21, 2013Wahlberg sleepwalks through another feature role here. The movie drags and the plot becomes thin. Save yourself some time and watch an episode of Law Order.
Feb 3, 2013I enjoy a really good, intelligent thriller. Unfortunately there are usually only one or two a year that end up fitting that criteria. Broken City is not one of them in 2013. There are many good actors in this film but all are wasted here. The films first half hour is not bad but quickly falls off the rails. Much of the story is predictable, and what isn't is put together for our protagonist in a boring unbelievable way.… Expand
Jan 28, 2013After watching the movie Broken City, I wasn't really impressed. Im a huge advocate of Mark Whalberg and his films. Although recently this latest movie and most movies out there now are going over the top. These films in general are plain plot lines, with too much action, and not enough creativity. Almost anyone out there these days can simply right a mediocre action plot about a drug ring, mob members, or some time of crooked cops. I feel that the movie was entertaining, but it just falls into place with many of the same typical categories that have been all over the big screen in recent months… Expand
Jan 28, 2013Storyline: This is the rather unimaginative story of police and political corruption in New York. Mayor Hostetler (Russell Crow) hires ex cop Billy Taggart (Mark Wahlberg) to follow his wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and take pictures of her being unfaithful. People start dying and Billy starts to realise that nothing is quite what it seems. While this is a good movie it never really strays from the formula which doesn't exactly make for riveting viewing.
Acting: While this does have a great cast, there are no stand out performances by anyone. Everyone does a good job but little more and for a cast of this calibre it's a wasted opportunity. Mark Wahlberg is in my books a brilliant actor and can usually pull out touches of greatness but not here. Everyone really was good but I kind of hoped for more. Oh well.
Direction: The films biggest problem is perhaps Allen Hughes who has missed a huge opportunity with this. A more seasoned director could have added some stylish touches to this humdrum script because he had the actors and budget to achieve something memorable but no. A real pity.
Production: I have to admit the overall package is decent enough but almost feels like a TV movie. Almost. I remember seeing the trailer and thinking that it looked like a very good thriller but instead we get just plain good.
Conclusion: This is enjoyable if somewhat predictable but it entertained and that is ultimately what counts. Recommended.
Score: 7/10… Expand
Jan 25, 2013Just your average run of the mill January release. Broken City has good ideas, but they are badly executed, resulting in a dull experience. The actors are ok, but don't expect Oscar-worthy performances. Aside from the already messy story, there are some sub-plots that are less interesting than watching paint dry. Dialogue is cringe-worthy at times since it seems taken from a Ben Stiller comedy. It's the kind of film that you remember you saw, but after a couple of hours you can't tell anything about the plot because of how forgettable it is.… Collapse
Jan 25, 2013I guess Hollywood thinks we'll watch any old piece of trash it throws up on the screen. They got my money. Congrats. Movie is devoid of original thinking and most of the acting is stale. The screenplay was as artfully written as furniture assembly instructions. I seriously question the critical thinking skills of anyone who thought this was a good movie.By the way, Zeta-Jones isn't hot anymore and since she never could act I was hoping to see her fade away. No such luck though.… Expand
Jan 25, 2013Mark Wahlberg plays a hardened NYC cop (is there any other kind?), who turns private detective after an on-duty controversy. He's hired by the city's sketchy mayor (Russell Crowe) to conduct a personal investigation. This results in the inevitable paranoid political complications. While nothing here is particularly original or surprising, it's well crafted and never drags or loses interest.
Jan 23, 2013Do not miss out on this movie! I thought Marky Mark would just be OK, but this movie will leave you breathless and Speachless at the same time. Should have been nominated for the Oscars.
Jan 23, 2013Broken City is worth watching if you like watching movies; however, you might set yourself up for disappointment if you have high expectations. No singular part of this movie is folly or apathetic, but the story and performances aren't the ones you will recommend when someone asks you, "what's the best movie out right now?"
Jan 23, 2013A contrived crime drama that feels like it was written by a first time screenwriter during a screenwriting 101 class. Expect the big name actors in this picture to make it a sure-fire hit on Redbox.
Jan 21, 2013I got exactly what I expected out of this film. A Russell Crowe fading in his career, Mark Walberg replaying the role of blue collar tough guy, a plot that is interesting but stitched together with no character or plot line fully developed, and story twists dropped in with no plausibility. It's called January in the theater. You have seen this story of the corrupt mayor and the inner city politics a thousand times so don't expect anything new and different. In a way, it is sort of sad, considering that much talent. That said, I actually enjoyed it versus sitting at home.… Expand
Jan 21, 2013I'm always baffled that Hollywood casts overexposed stars like Catherine Zeta Jones, who are constantly being exposed in magazines and tv, and then wonder why the audience is pulled out of the movie and don't like the movie. I'm just going to have to face the fact that anything with a Hollywood wife in it is not going to be a good movie (can you say Nicole Kidman).
Jan 20, 2013It's just a very average movie - starting with the writing. The story is just not all that interesting, and the script isn't saved at all by the directing. An all-around forgettable film.
Jan 19, 2013The story was somewhat interesting and the acting was very good all around. My main issue is that the plot is difficult to follow at times and the motivations for some of the characters' actions (the mayor, the commissioner, the mayor's wife, etc) don't really get explained until the very end. It takes a long time to develop and as you sit there watching you get caught up thinking about why things are happening. The film could have been put together better because in the end it keeps throwing new "twists" making the plot overcomplicated.… Expand
Jan 19, 2013Mostly entertaining but nearly always stupid. Persons in front of the camera and behind it seem to make a senseless (or nonsensical) decision at every turn. It's hard to enjoy the film too much when you spend so much of your time rolling your eyes.
Jan 18, 2013Not as good as it intends to be, considering that Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe and Catherine Zeta-Jones are in it, but it is still a fun movie to watch.
If Broken City – the first film to be directed solo by Allen Hughes, one-half of the Hughes Brothers directing team – is a little flawed and cracked itself, it still squeaks by as a reasonably thoughtful piece of big-screen entertainment.
If this 'power corrupts' potboiler had been made in the 1990s — with, say, Andy Garcia, Gene Hackman and Kim Basinger — it would already have felt old-fashioned. Forget it, Jake, it's no "Chinatown."
Feb 9, 2013Broken? Not quite, but certainly damaged. City offers star power, dashes of dazzle and plenty of movie nods. But Hughes' thriller fails to locate a life of its own.

It's football party time, and we know a lot of you are planing to invite the neighborhood over for wings and other finger food so you can show off, I mean, share, your home theater system. If this is your first big-screen party, here are a few tips to make sure your system is working at its peak so your guests come away suitably impressed (and hoping for more invites when March Madness rolls around).
1. Do get a big TV. I've almost never heard someone complain that their TV is too big, but I've frequently heard people complain that they should have splurged for a bigger one. There are several ways to calculate the proper size of a TV, but my favorite is the THX calculation. I like this one because it's based on the ideal field of view rather than an abstract notion of the eyes' ability to perceive resolution. Here are two good reasons you want a big TV for your game day party: 1) a big screen will mean your guests won't have to crowd around close to the TV to see what's going on, so there will be room for you to walk by with the guacamole bowl; 2) great deals on TVs are happening now. Outside of the November/December holiday season, this is the best time to buy because manufactures are preparing to release their new lines in a month or two and want to get rid of existing inventory.
2. Don't put your TV into Sports Mode. Just because it's called Sports mode doesn't mean it's the best setting for watching football, or anything really. Sports mode does different things in different TVs, such as engage motion interpolation (AKA 120Hz, 240Hz etc. processing), boost image brightness and other things that may do more harm than good to your TV's picture. The picture specifications from the broadcaster don't change from movie to sitcom to sports depending on the content, so neither should your TV's settings. Sports mode does different things in different TVs, but the main reason it exists at all is so the manufacturer can claim to have 18 million picture settings (and 99 percent of them useless). With most TVs, the movie or cinema (it's called something different by every manufacturer) will be produce the best picture, but a full professional calibration is the only insurance that your display is set to show its full potential. If that's more than you want to put into your TV, then use one of several available TV setup discs that include basic video test patterns.

3. Do know your room's limits. I'm not talking about that fire code maximum occupancy thing (though that's important). What I mean is you need to know how many people can comfortably and adequately enjoy the view of your display. Some TVs, notably LCD flat panel TVs, have limited viewing angles. That means that people who sit too far off center will get a reduced picture experience than those sitting closer to the sweet spot. If you have a plasma TV, this isn't really a problem, but many LCD TVs, especially if it's more than two years old and not from a manufacturer's top line, will have this problem. You don't have to know the TV's specified viewing angle. You can simply test it out yourself by moving to the left or right and noting the point where the picture drops off. That's the widest part you should place any extra seats for guests.Facebook and Twitter.

Samoa Joe revealed some bad news on Twitter. While he was off in Europe touring with TNA, he had a death in the family. His grandfather passed away. Since he did not want to leave work, he was forced to miss the funeral.
Wrestle-1, the new promotion founded by the Great Muta, is about to get an influx of talent from TNA for an upcoming live event in March. Austin Aries, Abyss, Bobby Roode, Brutus Magnus, Christopher Daniels, Davey Richards, Eddie Edwards, Frankie Kazarian, Gail Kim, Madison Rayne and Samoa Joe have been confirmed for the trip.
"I would say the best person - because it was the best match-up - would be Samoa Joe. Usually you pick people that are retired and been out of the business for a while. Not for me - it's the guys that made you. Joe was a big part of that, so I would love it to be Joe but I don't know who it's going to be yet."
- Kurt Angle on who he wants to induct him into the TNA hall of fame
Since TNA wants Brutus Magnus to have a solid run as the heavyweight champion, the creative department will be lining up some challengers, so he can work memorable feuds. Aside from Samoa Joe, another candidate being discussed is James Storm, who has routinely gotten the best reactions from the live audiences.
Rumors are spreading that Angelina Love could be making a surprise return at the Genesis edition of Impact Wrestling tonight, as the former TNA knockout was spotted on a plane with Samoa Joe, who is heading to Huntsville to perform at the show.
"I think with TNA now, especially with the inner office changes. I think hopefully I will be on top. I told them already. I said, 'Look, you guys have tried to do things in different ways.' I told them at the beginning of last year. 'You guys have been using me in a utilitarian way for the past 2 or 3 years. I'm cool with it. I know this is a team effort but I'm ready to run with it and produce for you if you give me the opportunity.' I've told John Gaburick the same thing. 'You guys have been using me in a utilitarian way for the past 2 or 3 years. I'm ready to get s--t done. If you want to run with me, It's going to be this year.' The ball is in their hands and we will just see what happens."
"Um I think Bischoff is still around, I think it's just a production capacity. I think with Hogan, some people think he had more clout than he did. I think they really wanted him to do a bit more but I think he just didn't want to really do more at this time. As far as Hogan as a person, cool cat. As far as working with him, I wouldn't know. I never worked with them. I never see them, I never talk to them. When they just asked me 'This is what we need from you' I did it and that was that."
Samoa Joe recently revealed that he has asked the TNA front office to give him a bigger role to work with. He is in a contract year, and he wants to be able to show his true value to the company. Joe has been stuck in the mid card for quite some time now.
Now that Brutus Magnus is the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion, it looks like Samoa Joe will be one of the first wrestlers to challenge him. The two of them have been booked for matches at live events this upcoming weekend.
When Samoa Joe made a comment on Twitter about not being welcomed back in ROH, the company decided to respond to those rumors by posting a message on their social media account, stating that they would gladly take him back.
For some reason, Samoa Joe was curious about a potential return to Ring of Honor, but the current TNA star revealed on Twitter that it would never happen. Apparently, he was told by someone that he would not be welcomed back in ROH.
TNA produced a highly entertaining funeral segment for Aces and Eights, who were forced to split up after Bully Ray was defeated by Mr Anderson at Turning Point.
Triple H is said to be against the idea of bringing in Bobby Roode and Samoa Joe from TNA.
Back when both of them were working for UPW in 2000, Mike Knox and Samoa Joe were tag team partners.
Former WWE star MVP did some training sessions with Batista and Samoa Joe today.

Creating Society Archives
A major push of the Federation of Genealogical Societies is records preservation and access. While most activities are aimed at public vital records, we are all aware of the importance, usefulness, and appeal of private, non-vital records. Whether we are fleshing out the lives of those we know about, or trying to find friends and associates of a problem ancestor with the hope of discovering clues, we need to have available to us the many records that show bygone activities and interests. Newspapers help as do military and religious records. But the records of local groups, including genealogical societies, can also be significant, if those records exist.
What will future researchers find about your organization? Are your records being preserved? Are you doing for others as you have wished others had done for you?
For us to preach the doctrine of creating, saving, preserving, cataloging, and making available the kinds of documents that genealogists crave, we must first set the example. We must practice what we preach. This may sound easy in theory. But how do we practice this?
The answer is not difficult. It is possible to force the issue by adding a section to your society's bylaws or standing rules concerning records management. Specify what records your society shall create, who creates them, where they are stored temporarily, and, finally, which archives is the final recipient. The Bylaws of the Dallas Genealogical Society (Texas), include such a section.
Dallas, Texas Bylaws and Standing Rules: Article XI - Records of the Society
Section 1. Society Records All records of the Society, printed or electronically generated, prepared by a member or nonmember in pursuance of activities, projects, or as a part of their job in the Society shall be the property of the Society. These records shall include, but are not limited to, the newsletters, quarterlies, publications, syllabi, membership and other lists, documents, research records, and other Society materials.
Section 2. Society Archives The Texas/Dallas History and Archives Division of the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library in Dallas, Texas, or its legal successor shall be the repository for the archival collection of the Society. This collection shall contain the bound minutes of the meetings, a printed copy of the yearly official membership list, and any other material the president or the board of directors shall decide to place in the archive collection.
Section 3. Society Minutes Society minutes attachments, reports, and newsletters shall be bound each year by the president and placed in the archives of the Society.
Section 4. Placement of Records Each year the president of the Society shall place at least one (1) copy of Society records, other than the bound Society minutes, in the Society archives or the genealogy section of the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library. A listing of the records and their placement shall be bound with the Society minutes and placed in the recording secretary's notebook. The secretary shall place a copy of the official membership list in the Society archives by January of each year.
The procedure is simple. At the end of each society year, the outgoing president collects the minutes and other documents and takes them to Dallas County Archives, where they are placed in permanent storage. Newsletters and journals are kept in the Dallas Public Library's Genealogy section. Does your organization do this? If not, now is the time to act.
While this example may not fit your specific requirements, the general outline should be followed and adapted to your needs. The main points to specify in your bylaws are:
- What permanent records should your society create?
- Who creates them?
- Who distributes and stores them while they are active?
- Who prepares and delivers them for archival storage?
- Where are they stored permanently?
The amount of detail to include in your bylaws varies with each organization. Some organizations want to be quite specific. Others prefer to put details elsewhere to avoid frequent bylaw changes. The types of permanent records to be created, for example, might go into Standing Rules or a Policy and Procedures Manual.
You may want to add other requirements, such as who approves the records, when certain actions are to be accomplished, and who should police this to assure nothing drops through a crack.
Is a "policeman" necessary? Absolutely. Because of the seemingly non-urgent demand for this kind of activity, it tends to be "set aside for later." Having the activity monitored or supervised acts as a motivator to get it completed.
In addition to satisfying the need for creating and preserving the records which future genealogists and historians crave, two side benefits may result from this: member awareness and archive creation.
Promoting records preservation and access is one thing; being directly involved, at a local level, is another concept altogether. Bringing this issue out in the open, asking your leaders to obey your requirements, and eventually making this activity a way of life for your society will instill in each member the importance of archival storage.
Some may take this important step to other groups they are involved in, once the need is acknowledged and the solution accepted. You may find a champion or two who gets the archival ball rolling in other public and private arenas. Awareness creates involvement, which leads to action.
The second benefit of adding a records management section to your society bylaws will only involve those who lack a local archival repository. Records cannot be stored if there is no place to store them. While many–hopefully most–societies exist in areas that have an active archival facility, those who do not face a real challenge; to create one. Perhaps this will not affect any reader, but if it does, your task becomes larger and, of course, beyond the scope of this article. Any repository must be readily accessible if it is to be of value to genealogists, whether it is at the state, county, or local level. Local is better for society records because you know your job.
If your society does not have a section in your bylaws or standing rules requiring records maintenance, now is the time for change. Only then we can convincingly sing the praises of records preservation and access.

BEIJING (Reuters) - China has closed a factory suspected of causing lead poisoning in more than 300 children, state media said on Wednesday.
China's pollution and lax product safety standards have long been a source of tension and unrest, particularly when parents or residents of pollution hotspots -- dubbed "cancer villages" because of high rates of the disease -- feel their worries are being ignored.
The sick children all live near the Changqing industrial park in Shaanxi province and parents have pointed at a lead and zinc smelting plant inside. The Changqing county government was supposed to help relocate villagers living close by in 2006, but the plan is running behind schedule.
"We live only 200 metres from the smelting firm. Lead pollution is certain," Xinhua news agency quoted villager Sun Yagang, whose 2-year-old son suffered from lead poisoning, as saying.
The report said the smelter, producing lead, zinc and coke, opened in 2006 and accounted for 17 percent of the county's GDP.
So far, less than half of the 581 households near the plant have moved, and those left behind say they cannot afford new houses.
"The relocation is way behind schedule," Pu Yiming, chief of Changqing town, was quoted as saying. "Of all the 581 families that should have been relocated by now, only 156 have moved to new homes."
The government has pledged to relocate the remaining families within the next two year, the report added.
A child who swallows large amounts of lead may develop anaemia, muscle weakness and brain damage. Where poisoning occurs, it is usually gradual.
Cases involving children are particularly sensitive in a country where many families have only one son or daughter. China was shaken last year by a tainted milk scandal that killed at least six children and made tens of thousands of others ill.

John Terry got off too lightly, says PFA chairman
Monday 08 October 2012
Clarke Carlisle, the chairman of the Professional Footballers' Association, believes the four-match ban handed out to John Terry for racially abusing Anton Ferdinand dilutes and undermines the Football Association's attempts to tackle racism within the game. Terry has until 18 October to decide whether to appeal against the FA's ban, which was half that imposed on Luis Suarez for racially abusing Patrice Evra last year.
"The Luis Suarez eight-match ban really did send out a strong message... that racism isn't tolerated in the game," said Carlisle. "To dilute that with this four-match ban, it has almost undermined the initial message that went out."

When FERC opened wholesale power markets to competition a decade ago in Order No. 888, it codified a system for awarding grid access known as the pro forma Open-Access Transmission Tariff (OATT),...
Transmission is Bubbling
A billion-dollar 'gold rush' could send grid rates through the roof.
summer, questioning the wisdom of granting open-ended ROE adders (since they grow in lockstep with project budgets) and urging FERC to step in and stop the bleeding.
In the NECPUC complaint, the New England state regulators advance the very sensible notion that transmission rate incentives must be keyed to consumer benefits, and so must be made subject to a downward adjustment ordered by FERC if costs should rise in the future, above the level projected in the original application for the incentive. In particular, NECPUC wants to roll back certain ROE adders that FERC granted to utility transmission owners participating in the New England RTO, a group known as the NETOs, which includes Central Maine Power.
In many cases, according to NECPUC, these cost overruns pertain to New England transmission projects that ISO-NE OK'd for its 2004 transmission expansion plan (RTEP-04), and that were scheduled to go into service by the end of calendar 2008, and so qualified for an incentive-driven 11.64 percent ROE under the terms of FERC Opinion 489, which governed incentive rates for the NETOs for projects proposed before Congress passed EPACT, and before the FERC issued interpretive rules under Order 679 (See, Opin. No. 489, Dkt. ER04-157, Kelly and Wellinghoff, dissenting, 117 FERC ¶61,129, Oct. 31, 2006) .
The state regulators cite numerous examples, some listed here, comparing project cost estimates from 2004, with actual or current estimated costs as given by ISO-NE in its Regional System Plans for 2007 or 2008:
• NSTAR 345-kV Trans. Reliab. Proj. Costs up $57 million (30 percent), from $217 million in RTEP-04, to $283 million in RSP-07.
• Central Maine Proj. ID 149. Costs up from $3.3 million (2006) to $7.5 million (Oct. 2007).
• National Grid Project ID 170. Estimates up from $5.54 million (2006) to $13.4 million (Oct. 2007).
• Northeast Utils Proj. ID 187. Costs up from $120 million to $183.2 million between July 2006 and Oct. 2007. And then to $234.2 million as of April 2008.
• Northeast Utils. Middletown-Norwalk Proj. Current price tag approximately $1.4 billion—"about twice as much as its estimated cost only a few years ago." (Expected in service early 2009.) (See, Complaint of NECPUC, pp. 3-13, FERC Dkt. EL08-69, filed June 12, 2008.)
According to the Maine PUC, cost overruns like these, plus the incentive rate adders granted by FERC, have led recently to "extraordinary increases in regional transmission rates."
For example, the PUC reports that the formula rate filing for the New England TOs shows an increase in rates from $27.90/kW-yr to $44.40/kW-yr between 2007 and 2008 ( see Figure 2 ), translating into an approximate 6.5 percent increase in the distribution component of Central Maine Power's retail residential rates. The PUC adds:
"With the increases in transmission costs due to major new projects, a pattern of significant cost overruns, and the commission's ubiquitous and generous grant of ROE adders in recent years, transmission is becoming an increasingly large component of the overall electricity rate.
"Currently it is close to 10 percent of the all-in rate for CMP residential customers and 20

So-Easy Succulent Container Gardens
Singular beauty
Fill an urn with the thick pointed leaves of hens-and-chicks (Sempervivum spp.). Some varieties, like the one used here, bear white hairs that form what looks like a spiderweb over the plants. The naturally variegated colors and tightly packed texture add plenty of visual interest to this single-specimen planting.
Mixed greens
An eclectic group of succulents in a wooden tray creates a nostalgic combination. Our plant choices:
--Top row, left to right: Aloe striata, Cotyledon 'octopus', burro's tail (Sedum morganianum), Mexican hens (Echeveria shaviana)
-- Middle row, left to right: watch chain (Crassula lycopodioides), Aloe zanzibarica, ghost plant (Graptopetalum paraguayense), crinkle-leaf plant (Adromischus cristatus var. zeyheri)
-- Bottom row, left to right: Sedum hybrid, Kalanchoe beharensis, Crassula conjuncta, string of beads (Senecio rowleyanus).
Simply sedums
Large-leaf Sedum 'Autumn Joy' and yellow-flowering Sedum kamtschaticum pair up to create a texture-rich combination. When 'Autumn Joy' produces its pink blooms, the colorful combo is doubly striking.
Fall for color
Elevate Echeveria spp. on a fence post or column to better enjoy the flowers that cluster on the top of stalks sprouting from between the thick, rounded blue-green leaves. Echeveria foliage comes in a variety of shapes and colors.
Long and short
Pair a tall, narrow pot overflowing with trailing variegated Dischidia spp. and a squat square container of colorful Echeveria spp.
Step it up
Blue-green echeveria (Echeveria spp.) combines with white-striped zebra haworthia (Haworthia fasciata) and fuzzy panda plant (Kalanchoe tomentosa) with brown-tipped leaves. A separate container with burro's tail (Sedum morganianum) adds color and textural contrast as it drapes over the edge of the next step.
Case goods
Give a flea-market find--an old beverage bottle case--new life as the home for tall, silvery ghost plants (Graptopetalum paraguayense) and burro's tail (Sedum morganianum).
Graceful accent
Single out one of the more than 300 species of agaves, a relative of the lily family. An eye-catching plant, Agave celsii sports thick, wide, swordlike leaves with sharp tips. Colors range from bright green to blue-gray.
Golden glow
Mass a single species of succulent for maximum impact. At left, a golden-hued Sedum nussbaumerianum provides a colorful counterpoint to a gray planter.
Triple play
Show off three foliage champs in clay pots: Dyckia marnierlapostolle in the pot at left in the photo, and the ubiquitous Echeveria spp. in the pots at center and right. Note that leaf tips of the slow-growing, spiny-edged Dyckia can shrivel in excessive heat.
Concrete jungle
Nestle a couple of hens-and-chicks (Sempervivum spp.) among the lush spires of watch chain stonecrop (Sedum sexangulare) in a concrete bowl. In summer, the stonecrop bears tiny yellow star-shape flowers on its lanky stems.
Dish harmony
Decorate a garden tabletop with a trio of small potted plants--left to right, Euphorbia spp., jade plant (Crassula spp.) and Hayworthia spp.--arranged inside a shallow dish
Vintage appeal
The mottled colors of old metal compotes complement this collection of succulents. On the left, ruffle-leaved Mexican hens (Echeveria shaviana) pair with ghost plants (Graptopetalum paraguayense). In the lower tier, a collection of hens-and-chicks (Sempervivum spp.) circles the fleshy paddles of Cotyledon spp.
Sharp contrast
Focus on exotic plant forms by pairing mother of thousands (Kalanchoe daigremontiana, center plant in photo, with bristly rat tail cacti (Disocactus flagelliformis). The violet-flowering Kalanchoe also bears the name devil's backbone, for its serrated edges.
Video: How to create a succulent arrangement
A cake stand and some florist's moss provide a simple foundation for this stunning succulent display that works great as a centerpiece.

Like wildflowers bursting into bloom after a sudden rain, the soft colors of the desert pop against azure skies in this Southwest-inspired ring. Gemstones of green variscite, pink rhodonite, purple sugilite and green turquoise are inlaid within sterling silver channels in a diamond-shaped geometric pattern. The elongated bezel flatters any finger shape and floral sterling silver detail on the shank gives a feminine feel to this bold ring. Measures 1" long x 3/4" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Channel and mosaic inlay are traditional Southwestern jewelry techniques that give the Inlaid Treasures collection its rich tapestry of color.
Also known as chip inlay, mosaic inlay is a modern adaptation of two earlier techniques - mosaic inlay lapidary and overlay silverwork. Background areas of silver overlay that would be left black in the original overlay method are instead filled with an epoxy and mosaic fragments of turquoise, jet, black onyx, coral, and other materials, similar to ancient pottery shards. Mosaic inlay was first made in the early 1960's by a few highly creative Southwestern silversmiths in northeastern Arizona.
Channel inlay involves incredible lapidary skills. Genuine stones and shells are cut into precise sizes and shapes, in order to fit together in a silver setting like a perfect puzzle. The result is a vibrant geometric pattern of color. Often, as with Inlaid Treasures, silver is incorporated into the channel inlay design, separating and distinguishing the individual stones.
The unique color combinations of the Inlaid Treasures collection give a nod to this spring's ethnic and tribal trends, complementing a casual denim outfit or creating a focal point for a dressier ensemble. Inspired by the traditional channel and mosaic inlay techniques of Southwest natives, Inlaid Treasures transforms the rituals of the culture into a modern expression of artistic jewelry.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

If you've recently moved to Utah, and your certificate of title is being held by an out-of-state leasing company or lien holder, you will not be required to acquire the certificate of title in order to transfer your vehicle registration to Utah. Instead, you will need to provide the following in order to receive a Registration Only:
At times, a certificate of title may not be available when a vehicle is sold. This is especially true for homemade vehicles and old vehicles for which the original certificate of title cannot be located. In such circumstances, a process known as "Insufficient Evidence of Ownership" must be completed. Please click the appropriate link below to find a checklist and important information for completing this process:
Public Insufficient Evidence Checklist - Use this checklist for motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, watercraft, and trailers.
Tower Insufficient Evidence Checklist - Use this checklist if you are a towing company.
Mobile Home Insufficient Evidence Checklist - Use this checklist for unaffixed manufactured/mobile homes.
As you will see on any of the above checklists, several forms are required as part of the Insufficient Evidence of Ownership process:
TC-656, "Application for Utah Title" - This form details the new owners to whom the title should be transferred upon approval.
TC-569A, "Ownership Statement" - This form allows you to explain how you acquired the vehicle/mobile home and why no title is available. Be as descriptive as possible.
TC-661, "Certificate of Inspection" - This form must be completed by a DMV employee, peace officer, licensed dealer, or a certified safety inspector if no Utah record exists for the vehicle/mobile home.
TC-824, "Motor Vehicle Defective Title or Insufficient Evidence of Ownership Bond (Surety Bond)" - This form may be required if the value of the vehicle exceeds $1,000.00, and requires you to purchase a surety bond for twice the fair market value of the vehicle.

Post subject: Battlegroup Chicago
Memorial Day (Monday, May 28th) from Noon to 5pm I'll be running a Federation Commander Demo Derby to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Star Trek II and the winner will receive a dvd of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn. Below are the rules which I admit I swiped from Scoutdad on these forums.
Map: All availalbe map panels should be shuffled together and placed on the table in the order they are drawn. If enough panels are available, use 1 large scale panel per player or 1 small scale panel for every two players. Add enough panels beyond this to form a rectangle. All terrain featurs are in play as on the map panels being used. The map is a fixed map.
Set-up: Ships are placed on the map panels in the same order that the
players selected them. The first ship may be placed anywhere on he map, any facing. Each sucessive ship must be placed so that it is not within 6 hexes of any oher ship, any facing.
Time Limit: The game runs for a pre-determined number of turns
(typically 12) or for a set length of time. (i.e., 2 hours)
Victory Condition: This scenario is everyman-for-himself. Alliances can
be made (and broken) at will. The ultimate goal is to score more points
than anyone else and claim the demo-derby trophy.
Scoring: Points are scored as follow:
Scoring shield damage on an opponent: +0.5 points
Scoring a burn-through point on an opponent: +1 points
Scoring internal damage on opponent (other than burn-through): +2 points
Scoring Internal Damage via a Hit-and-Run raid: +3 points
Destroying and enemies ship: +5 points
Rebuying your way back into the game: -4 points
Victory points can be scored once per ship per catagory.
Multiple players can score points on each ship.
Re-buy: Should your ship be destroyed, you can buy your way back into the game by spending 4 previously earned points. Choose any fleet scale frigate and place it anywhere on the map that's not within 6 hexes of any other ship. The new ship is placed during the impulse activity phase of the impulse following the impulse in which the original ship was destroyed. There is no limit to the number of times that a player can rebuy into the game.
Final Victory: If playing a time limit game then once the time limit expires, complete the current impulse and total each players victory points. If playing a turn limit game then once the final turn is complete, total each players victory points. The winner of the derby is the player with the most total points.
Players can choose from Fed Frigate, Kzinti Frigate, Klingon F5, Romulan K5R and the Snipe. Basically any FF 45 pts or below, those are the ones I have. (Sorry toastie, I was mistaken earlier, I do have the Kizinti FF).
I'm hoping to use this as a springboard to have a weekly meeting to play FedCom and do OLP.

It's only about 8 hours Scoutdad. Trust me I know. I'm a native Nashvillian. Hopefully I'll get back home sometime this summer and might get a chance to slip down to Murfreesboro for a game.

awesome. We have memebers of our battlegroup that live in various and sundry Mid-TN locations, such as:
Franklin, Antioch, Nashville, Clarksville, Murfreesboro, Christianna, Smyrna, LaVergne, Knoxville, Chattanooga, etc.
so, if you're even close to Nashville - we can probably hook you up with a game or two.

The composer had the idea of juxtaposing Banville's latter-day rondels with three of Charles d'Orléans originals (the second, sixth and eighth songs of the cycle). At the end there is a rondel by Catulle Mendès which, with its reference to singing, may well have been written as a closing item for this cycle at Reynaldo's request. Hahn's lavish musical plan included the use of a chorus in the first, sixth and eleventh items; this makes modern-day performance of the work on the concert platform expensive and unlikely. The musical style of the Banville settings is more or less in the 'modern' style of the composer's second Recueil of mélodies (some of the piano parts are as difficult as anything he wrote for the instrument) while in contrast the Charles d'Orléans settings bring out Hahn's gifts as a pasticheur. There had been a long tradition in the composers of mélodie (Gounod and Fauré were the greatest, but by no means the only examples) of matching early poetry with music in 'madrigal' style evocative of earlier times. The use of this time-travelling in film music has rather debased the coin (despite Walton's splendid music for Olivier's Henry V) and after hearing 'early' music churned out by the yard in costume dramas, listeners no longer regard pastiche as serious composition. It was, however, something on which Reynaldo was increasingly to rely for the visitations of his muse. In any case, at the turn of the century even a giant like Debussy (in his Villon ballads and his own settings of Charles d'Orléans) was not above the use of archaic colour in his songs to suggest the fifteenth-century provenance of the words. Ravel too had an early success with his Pavane pour une infante défunte.
