Hate for Hate: Lamb Near The Lane Lyrics - Prussian Blue
Review The Song (19)
Endless years in a prison cell, endless years in a living hell. A soldier of the first, with a tale to tell. Of why he fought to save his own kind, an image of beauty, he sees in his mind Of a beautiful maiden, now forced to the fight. Because too many white men choose wrong over white.
Some day in Valhala, when he's young once more. He will hold the hand of the image he adore.
It's not right for a lamb near a Lane, to fight with a lion. It's insane, I feel its insane.If the white man won't battle for life and for race. Then women and children, the the terror will face.
Some day in Valhala, when he's young once more. He will hold the hand of the image he adore.
This song was not written to entertain. dance with horns fight for the lamb near the Lane?
I am that lamb. I'll stand beside the Lane.
I am that lamb. I'll stand beside the Lane.
I am that lamb. I'll stand beside the Lane.

mother's day... | Reviewer: britany88 | 5/2/09
@ white power 411
Hitler didn't actually create the mother's day known in America. Mother's day was created by Anna Jarvis and became official in 1914. Hitler's mother's day for Germany came about it 1917. Though both are on the second Sunday of May. The concept of Mother's day was created in Ancient Greece.
About the song and Prussian Blue, I agree with them. Ignorant opposers who find them racist, why are you even here? These girls do not sing about being RACIST, they have pride in their race and heritage. As should all white people. The white race is quickly becoming a minority, because most of us have no pride, no nationalism. They are Jewed into feeling GUILTY about their race, and to feel like they must be shamed into taking the side of other races over our own. YOU type of white people are the SCUM in this country, not these wonderful girls who know what it is to have PRIDE in who they are.
I wish to see an America where we finally stand up for ourselves, and quit letting other races and nations rule us and our beliefs.
It's just skin after all... | Reviewer: Someone who cares | 3/9/09
Racism exists and oft times, it cannot be helped. It will always be around and someone will always support it. That's the way the world works. As unfortunate and despicable as it is, people will always search to find some way to make themselves superior to others (at least in their minds). Tragically, they don't realize that it's really just a skin color in the end, and holds the same value as hair color or eye color or height or weight. It's pointless to bicker over whether the girls are aware they are being racist because they've obviously been raised by their mother to be intolerant of other races.
My entire family is white as far back as memory can find except for one case in which someone married a Cherokee Indian descendant. It would not offend me in anyway to enter a relationship with someone of a different race. It would not disturb any family members either. But just because we do not recognize race as being a deciding factor in whether a person is worth hanging around, doesn't mean I can't have pride in my race. I am proud to say I am white, there's nothing shameful about it. Just because some people screwed up back in the day doesn't mean I should be held responsible for their actions.
People like to claim they are not racist. But the fact that it is still recognized as a physical/filial feature says that racism is not gone completely. Just by acknowledging that another person has a different tone to their skin is a small form of racism. It proves we're not colorblind in the end. Tragic, but true.
I can't blame Lynx or Lamb Gaede for being racist unless they are completely aware that the people they revere took some very wrong paths and hurt a great many people of many different races. We are all raised to believe certain things, it is up to us in the end however, to decide what we want to believe. I was raised to be colorblind while others are raised to be quite prideful of their race and intolerant of others. To eliminate racism, we must remove all borders that hold us back from completely intermingling with each other. No more percentages of each race required at job sites, no more big talk over the accomplishment of having a man of color as the president. If we are truly colorblind and racism free, we would not even recognize that Obama is indeed a man of colorful descent.
Read before commenting.... | Reviewer: White Power 411 | 10/23/08
Females, white females realizing who they are. We are all different. Let me tell you something, many do not know. You want to talk about "Black history" month, about the accomplishments of the "black man". Do you realize, that we as Americans, black and white celebrate a NATIONAL HOLIDAY created by Hitler himself? No, not his birthday for all you potheads(4/20). '16 December 1938' Hitler made a decree, he wanted to strengthen the family ties and that of the German(white) race. He made the "Mother's Cross" Money was paid for each child born. There were 3 classes of the Cross. Bronze for having 1-5 children, Silver for having 6-7, and the Gold for having 8 or more. Crazy I know! The first award ever given was 21 May 1939. Awards were rendered only on 'Mothering Sunday' (Mothers Day) the second Sunday in May. So before you go all ballistic and holy on something you don't fully understand, actually know your history. Why don't we have a White History month? I mentiond it while in high school, I was sent up for being a "racist". Well, if me standing up for my race and wanting to keep it white and pure, and have a national celebrated month makes me a racist, by all means. I'm one of the biggest ones. I commend these young women for standing up to everyone. So if you hate rasicm and Hitler, better start banning Mother's Day! Kind adelt die Mutter'!!! (The child ennobles the mother)
sympathy | Reviewer: \\\\\ | 4/13/08
i feel so sorry for these girls... they've been quite brainwashed by their mom...i saw this documentary about them where the mom was teaching one of them ABC and she said A is for Aryan...i was like.whoa woman! how are these girls gonna survive in this world where ppl are actually aware of the fact that skin colour is just like being tall or short...how can a mother do this to her own kids... i wont be surprised if they have a mental break down when they are finally on their own...and to think hitler was a heroe?!?! arent they old enough to use their brain?
Equality is needed | Reviewer: here for equality | 2/14/08
Look i have looked at these lyrics and i dont understand it is great to have pride of your own race but why discriminate against others. The lord put us on this earth with many diferences-- skinny, fat, black,white,brown,pale, long hair shor hair different everything. But what isnt different is our blood that we have in the inside all of our bodies are run the sameway so why discriminate against others just because they are alittle bit darker than yourselves and have alittle bit kinkier darker hair. It not right and for these young females to be put into a society like that it sucks you have the right to have pride but dont discriminte others.
White Power | Reviewer: Miss 88 | 2/3/08
I think this song, is a great song in fact. It's basically saying that if white men won't fight to save our race from extintion then, us women && children will. If white men are too pussy, then we women will show them that we don't want our white race to end. we already live in a world where is yer white && PROUND you get diminshed because yer a racist. Well all i gotta say about that is, I AM WHITE && DAMN PROUND OF MY RACE && WILL DO ANYTHING TO SAVE IT FROM BEING MIXED WITH OTHER BLOODS.
not_a_racist_but_a_realist | Reviewer: scott | 11/20/07
I'm not racist in any way shape or form, but these girls have a right to speak of what they believe. You've got blacks degrading white men and women in their songs...but where are all the people that are quick to throw the racist label on white people? Blacks are just as racist as whites, if not moreso because they can get away with it! Noone wants to label the black man a racist. That will get Jesse Jackson on yo' ass.
As I stated, I am not anywhere near a racist. But if we are going to let one race get away with racism, we should let them all get away with it. If not, stop ALL racism...and not hone in on only white people for speaking their mind.
Freakin Racists | Reviewer: NON_RACIST_PERSON | 10/18/07
youthofthenation, you're racist. I agree with white pride and everything, yeah, people have the right to express their opinions and be proud of their race, but saying about how their race is supeior and that all the other races are stupid or w/e, that's taking it a little too far. Freedom of speech though. And everyone, even racists, have the right to express opinions. Even if non-racist people like me disagree with them. But black pride month doesn't celebrate how great their race is and that all other races are inferior, but instead, reconises their race and everything it has brought to history.
All I'm going to say is, I think all you racist hitler-loving people should really stop being racist and narrowminded and stay openminded about everyone and the world.
GREAT!!!!! | Reviewer: youthofthenation | 10/14/07
I love this two young, bright girls that were raised right. They have pride, and I don't see why people have a problem with this. It's ok to have black pride, brown pride, or whatever you want as long as you don't have WHITE PRIDE? What kind of world are we living in? Everyone lets rapers say whatever they want but you have to fing young women saying it's ok to be white and now people get upset? I say keep up the good work and stay proud!!!
RACISTS | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/8/07
It IS hidden propaganda. How can you live with so much hate surrounding you? Skin pigment doesn't make you any different in personality to someone else! It's how you were brought up, and your surroundings.
Wrong over WHITE? Who cares what colour skin you have? As long as you don't spread hate like this, no matter what colour skin you have, you are surely going to be as "great" as a "white" man.

This Sunday two of the biggest QB's in the business, Aaron Rodgers and RG3, will be hanging out by a pool somewhere counting their money.
Meanwhile, thousands of fantasy owners will be scrambling for someone worthy enough to produce respectable numbers in their absence.
Here are few QB's, that may be available in your league, you should consider and one that you should avoid.
Start Em…
Phillip Rivers (SD) – It is very possible that some owner in your league gave up on Rivers because he has really stunk it up this year. This week he get the Buc's in what seems to have the makings of a shootout.
The Buc's are allowing a league worth 321 net yards a game while their offense is clicking. I think Rivers and company are going to need to throw the ball in this one and they are gonna have success. Look for 300 yards and 3 TD's from Rivers.
Sit Em…
Russell Wilson (SEA) – Yeah Russell has been hot and may look like a viable alternative but the Jets, despite their struggles and their lack of Revis, aren't as sucky as the Lions and Vikes.
The Jets are only allowing only 206 yards a game and the way to beat them is with the running game, enter Marshawn Lynch. I think this is a low scoring, penalty filled game where Wilson posts less than 200 yards and 0 TD's.
Ryan Tannehill (MIA) – The Titans are coming to town and he has his full arsenal of receivers back in tow so look for him to rack of some stats.
The Titans are dead last in in passing TD's allowed (20) and 27th in pass yards allowed (273 per game) so it is not a stretch. Look for a solid 280+ yards and 3 TD's.

Oh my goodness, that door is so tall, it's beautiful though! And when you said how you could hang out there all day I was thinking "definitely, i love that smell!" and then you wrote that too. I used to love doing woodwork in highschool just because I loved the smell. It's so soothing and warm.
Also, I didn't realise your family iss Mormon. I twigged a week or so back that you're church-going but it wasn't until this post that I realised you're Mormon. I should have realised though... pretty, happy, sweet, cute kids, happy marriage- gotta be Mormon! LOL. (i don't mean to offend or poke fun with that comment, it's just that there were a lot of Mormon women at my old workplace and they were all so happy but sooo nice too! And from what I've seen in Blogland, it seems pretty universal)
back on topic... congrats to Ellie, that's quite an achievement!

My husband takes this product since over 2 years, he is diabetic type 2. LevelRight keeps his blood sugar low. By taking LevelRight everyday he was able to reduce his medicament from 4 pills per day to half a pill per day.
helps with blood sugar spikes for healthy folks too!

I don't have any issues with diabetes or a sugar addiction. However, due to my irregular work schedule and when traveling, I sometimes have to delay meals and get lightheaded. Usually after eating, my blood sugar spikes, and all I want to do is take a nap. Not anymore with these pills! I carry a few with me always, making sure to pop one (or two) of these pills about 10-30 min before eating to help not get sleepy. It has also helped when I know I will have a larger meal, which would otherwise leave me in a food coma. It also seems to prevent the continuous blood sugar spikes when eating a sugary treat that usually leaves you craving for more a bit later.
really helps me

I'm impressed with this LevelRight. Am diet-controlled nearly-diabetic and if I take this with a meal that I know will spike my blood sugar, it goes up much less.

I take LevelRight 3 times a day, along with Gluco-Science by Source Naturals, to control my addiction/cravings for sugar, and to help maintain normal Blood Glucose/sugar levels. It has helped me significantly, and I highly recommend it!

I don't have outright diabetes but my blood sugar runs a bit high. This combination of herbal extracts keeps my blood sugar within the normal range. The herbs involved have been used for centuries to control blood sugar, and they really seem to work, at least for me.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has established an academy for young researchers within all disciplines working in Sweden. The aim is to create an interdisciplinary forum and research-political platform for young researchers in Sweden.
The Young Academy of Sweden was founded on 27 May 2011 with a ceremony for invited guests. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences elected the first 22 members for excellence in science and engagement for the young academy's areas of interest. The first members has independently formed an election process and will gradually increase the number of members up to approximately 40.
Young academies have started in several countries, for example in Germany and the Netherlands, and in the spring 2010 also a Global Young Academy was inaugurated (links below).
The Young Academy of Sweden is financially supported by The Ragnar Söderberg Foundation.

Morning Buzz: Katy Perry Auctioning Off Her Chest
The Mirror reports that singer Katy Perry has created a plaster cast of her bosom for charity. The 32DD sized star is donating the cast to raise money for the Keep A Breast foundation.

TMZ reports that NFL player Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg at an NYC nightclub last night. Burress, who plays for the New York Giants, was treated and released for a wound to his right thigh after allegedly shooting himself at a club called The Latin Quarter. "Obviously, our primary concern is for Plaxico's health and well-being, and given the circumstances, we are relieved to say he was released from a New York City hospital at approximately 2 a.m. today. We have been in touch with NFL Security on this matter. At this point, we are attempting to gather all the facts surrounding this incident. This incident could become a matter for law enforcement officials, and because of that, we have no comment on any of the details," the Giants said in a statement.
Madonna's documentary on the AIDS crisis in the African nation of Malawi, I Am Because We Are, will have its television premiere tomorrow night on the Sundance Channel at 9 pm. The singer adopted her son David Banda from the impoverished nation, which MSNBC reports has almost one million children who have been orphaned by AIDS. "If all you can do is live life in YOUR world in a way that shows you are responsible for the people around you, that's a course of action," said Madonna in an interview. "People can be of service in large ways and small."

The suit also says that Peters would "wrestle and rough up [Quintana] in a sexual manner." TMZ reports that Quintana is also known for filing a restraining order against Paris Hilton in the past.

Orlando, Fla.
(25-3) vs. (16-12)
Line: Magic by 2.5
Video Vault:
–Zach Lowe of The Point Forward echoes what I wrote yesterday (or I echo what he wrote since his article came first… whatever). The Magic are in it for now and money is no object. The Magic are capped out for the next two seasons. So get used to this team. Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports writes it is title or bust for the Magic.
–The Magic hope Hedo Turkoglu can regain his form after a year and a half of poor play.
–Jameer Nelson, Jason Richardson, Hedo Turkoglu, Brandon Bass and Dwight Howard are likely to be the starters for the foreseeable future.
–One of the stated goals of the Amway Center was to improve the surrounding Parramore neighborhood. At least three months into its existence, that goal appears to be somewhat met. Bianca Prieto of the Orlando Sentinel reports there has been little report of crime around the Amway Center.
–Daniel Orton said via Twitter that his arthroscopic surgery on his left knee went well this morning.

I just finished Christopher Paolini's Eragon, after resolving to read it since it's been turned into a movie (no, I haven't watched the movie, and yes, I heard it wasn't good). As a YA fantasy novel, to me it was pretty typical: fast-paced adventure, magic, dragons, a likeable protagonist who is coming of age. It was an enjoyable read, and I'll definitely be picking up the next installation soon.
(Spoiler warning! I will be talking about some plot elements that affect the ending of the book.)
I don't exactly know if I feel it's doing a good bit of foreshadowing or if it's too much. I obviously haven't read Eldest, but already I feel like it's going to be a no-brainer. For one thing, Angela the witch's foretelling of Eragon's future felt like… wait, already? So we already know there's a near-death, someone who's family will betray him, and there's a noble love on the horizon.
I felt the near-death would be Brom right off. I mean, seriously, who else was it going to be? Who else (who's still alive) was close to Eragon other than Roran, Brom, and Saphira? If Saphira dies, there goes the story. There was a chance it would be Roran, but I felt that Brom would make more sense, more impact.
And besides, there was the whole thing about the betrayal of someone who's family. That instantly pointed to Roran, but! We skip to the end of the book, where we, omg, find out about Murtagh's past. Murtagh Son of Morzan who, when sparring with Eragon, was his equal in every respect, even when they tire. There was mention of them being so alike each other, but yet differing in beliefs. Let's not forget Murtagh's mother, who came from an unknown village, who mysteriously left when Murtagh was three, and returned just as mysteriously.
Oh, what's that about Eragon's mother? His mother, who had become apparently rich, went home to Garrow five months pregnant with Eragon, gave birth, and then pleaded that he be raised there, and then disappeared. I mean, seriously? You don't need to be a rocket scientist to put, omg, two long-lost brothers together and, in the end, have them face each other in a heart-rending, emotional battle between good and evil! Not to mention battle for the heart of a noblewoman, Nasuada, apparently. There was a stray thought about it being Arya, but you never know. Would that be possible in Eragon's world?
Okay, maybe I'm wrong about some of these points. I don't even know what I think about all these guesses of mine. I feel like, what, why is this so easy?? I don't know if I enjoy it, making all these guesses.
Yeah, Arya seems rather likely, as he seems to be really enthralled by her, enough to set off Saphira's jealousy. I don't have enough knowledge of that world to see if an elven/human pairing is possible (like most other fantasy stories), so I'm still sort of holding out on that.
And now that you mention it — yes, it does feel Star Wars-y! Farmboy becomes something of a legend. ;)
I agree with some of your theories, although I see more of an Eragon x Arya thing going on. And the whole "secret identity of Eragon" thing is horribly obvious. Everything about the book was obvious. It was also an obvious rehash of tired fantasy (and science fiction) plots. It's got a Star Wars-y feel to it. But with dragons instead of The Force.

There are some early recipes for sugar cooking (a kind of sesame brittle is described in the Mappae Clavicula, and milk sweets in the Liber Trotulae), but it's impossible for me to say whether these involve caramelisation or not. I guess the recipe in Trotula could be interpreted as modern caramel, but it might equally well be simply boiled sweets.

International students should find it easier to get work permits and jobs and even to become permanent residents after they finish their studies in Canada, thanks to new regulations introduced by the Canadian government in April.
The new rules will also help Canadian universities in their efforts to recruit more foreign students and help Canada retain international students already here, said Immigration Minister Diane Finley in a news release. "These changes will help create a pool of individuals who, with work experience, will find it easier to apply to immigrate to Canada."
The new rules will allow foreign students who graduate from a Canadian university or college to work up to three years. They will no longer have to have a job offer in place before they are issued a work permit and they won't be restricted to finding employment in their field of study.
"Everybody recognizes that even Canadian kids don't graduate as CPAs and become accountants the next day," said Les Linklater, director general of the immigration branch of the department of Citizenship and Immigration. "They work at entry-level jobs until they can get that career-related occupation."
Previously, international students had to have a job offer in a field related to their area of study and had to apply within 90 days of completing university or college. Those with a job offer in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal were eligible for a one-year work permit while those working anywhere else in the country could get a two-year permit.
New immigrant class
Mr. Linklater said the changes will also help international students gain the work experience they need to qualify for permanent residency in Canada under a new immigration class that is expected to be introduced this summer.
Canada admits immigrants under three broad classes or categories: economic, family and refugee. The proposal would create a new sub- category in the economic class, called the Canadian Experience Class. This new stream would allow skilled temporary foreign workers and international students with work experience to apply for permanent residence status without leaving the country. At least one year of work experience in a managerial, professional or technical position will be necessary to qualify for admission under the Canadian Experience Class. The government first announced its plans to create this class in the 2007 budget.
The announcement is "good news in almost all respects," said Justin Kerr, international student adviser at Queen's University. "It facilitates students staying here in Canada as permanent residents and potentially as citizens. When students had only three months to find work and apply for a work permit, that was problematic," he said.
The changes will give Canadian universities a leg up when it comes to recruiting foreign students, said Pari Johnston, director of international relations at the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. "We are better positioned now against countries like Australia and others that have made immigration reforms in order to make themselves more attractive [to international students]."
She noted that Australia has started issuing work permits to foreign students in conjunction with study visas.
The Canadian government is also set to unveil a marketing campaign aimed at international students.
yeah :)

Team 10 explains hidden gift card rules, how they may impact consumers this Holiday season
Some gift cards may have dormancy fees
SAN DIEGO - According to the National Retail Federation, 81 percent of shoppers will skip the mall madness and give a gift card this year.
Shoe store employee, Aloysius Nnadozie, pushes his customers at Sheik to buy them.
"This is best thing to get somebody when you don't know what they want," said Nnadozie from the downtown San Diego location.
Research shows there's a chance someone won't use it.
Plastic Jungle, a California based gift card selling company, reports the average American home has $300 in unused gift cards.
Shopper Shar Paur told Team 10 her gift card sat on her dresser for years.
"Not that I don't appreciate them but they just kind of get forgotten," said Paur.
When she eventually went to use her Visa gift card, she said money had been deducted from her balance.
"You think you have $25 on there and it's only $20 -- it's a little disappointing," said Paur.
Tricia Pummil of the San Diego City Attorney's Office said that is one thing to keep in mind when buying a "general use" card.
A general use gift card is attached to credit card companies such as American Express or Visa.
They can't expire for five years but money can be taken out if you don't use it for a year.
"Then they can start taking dormancy fees out of the amount," said Pummil.
Your next option is a card for a group of stores.
For example, you could buy a gift card good for all the stores inside a certain mall.
This type of card also expires in five years. The clock starts after you first use it.
"The idea is that these cards are kept alive as long as possible," said Pummil.
Your third option is a gift card for one store like Walmart or Target.
Pummil told Team 10 there is no expiration date, no dormancy fee and if the value falls below $10, you can get the balance in cash.
Pummil believes that last option, buying a card for one store, gives you the consumer the most protection.
Giving a gift card is a pretty safe bet -- 60 percent of shoppers surveyed by the NRF said they would like to get a gift card this year.

The cheapest *I'm* seeing on their website is $142.00, and that's with an epee blade. With a 37" rapier blade, it's $180.00 (although the 40" is only ten dollars more, and I think would be a better buy.) -Tivar Moondragon

text: On October 8, 2008, about 0645 central daylight time, a single-engine Beech A36 airplane, N703KP, was destroyed following a complete loss of engine power and subsequent force landing near Houston, Texas. The commercial pilot, sole occupant, was not injured. The airplane was registered to and operated by a private individual. Night visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The 36-nautical mile cross-country flight originated from the Pearland Regional Airport (LVJ), near Houston, Texas at 0630, and was destined for the David Wayne Hooks Memorial Airport (DWH), in Houston, Texas.According to the pilot, while in cruise fight the propeller's revolutions per minute (RPM) involuntarily increased to approximately 2,900. After an attempt to reduce the RPM's via the propeller governor failed, the pilot was successful by reducing the engine throttle. Seconds later the engine began to make a "knocking noise" before complete engine power was lost. The pilot performed a forced landing to a rough field resulting in a hard touchdown. The pilot was able to exit the airplane unassisted. Moments later the airplane caught fire and was fully engulfed in flames. The airplane wreckage was recovered back to Air Salvage of Dallas (ASOD), Lancaster, Texas, for further examination. An examination of the engine revealed that the oil filter adapter housing contained a fracture that allowed the engine oil to escape. According to the airplane's maintenance records, the airplane's last annual inspection was performed on September 26, 2008. The oil filter was replaced at that time. This was reportedly the first flight since the annual inspection. Due to thermal damage to the oil filter adapter and oil filter, the reason for the fractured oil filter adapter could not be determined.

Two flooring manufacturers will combine 250 years of experience to conquer the hotel market, as part of a joint venture unveiled Monday.
Chattanooga carpetmaker Dixie Group will partner with Desso Holding BV, a Netherlands-based flooring manufacturer, to offer a broader range of products to hotel operators, the companies said in a statement Monday.
Selling Dixie's carpet and Desso's tile products together will allow hotels to make one deal to outfit all of their floors instead of seeking out separate sellers and dealing with two different companies.
"Desso and Masland Contract share the same values of producing environmentally responsible flooring products that stand out in their design and functionality," said Dan Frierson, CEO of the Dixie Group. "We look forward to this exciting new venture."
Such a deal is not unusual in the competitive world of flooring. Dalton-based carpetmaker Beaulieu of America struck a similar agreement in 2009 with Armstrong flooring, allowing Armstrong to sell Beaulieu's carpet as part of a total package to builders of new homes.
Joint ventures allow each company to remain separate and focus on their strengths, while selling more of their product through another company's sales force.
Dixie is set to gain an exclusivity agreement to sell Desso tile products in the U.S., provided the joint venture goes well.
"We are delighted with the new partnership between Desso and the Dixie Group," says Alexander Collot d'Escury, CEO of Desso.
Dixie, which runs nine carpet mills and distribution centers in the U.S., will enter the joint venture through its Masland Contract brand, which is one of a handful of high-end carpet brands the company operates including Fabrica International, Masland Carpets, Dixie Home and Avant.
Desso, which offers a broad range of products in Europe and is active in more than 100 countries, operates two tile plants and a distribution center that will service the joint venture. In addition to the usual corporate offices, schools, and government customers, Desso also sells products designed for cruise ships and airlines, and could open up new markets for Dixie.
"We share the same commitment to delivering stunningly designed, innovative products that provide added value for our customers," said Desso's CEO. "Our shared values around innovation, design and green principles will enable Desso to meet its goal of expansion into the U.S. market and support our mutual growth in this high potential market."

Perennial Virant gambling on chef's reputation with mixed results

Try: Crispy Carnaroli rice, gnocchi, sockeye salmon, honey nougat glace. (Note: The menu changes frequently.)
In a bite: The "Virant" part of the name connects to chef /partner Paul Virant (Vie in Western Springs). The cuisine is contemporary American with an emphasis on farm-to-table. Comfortable atmosphere, very casual, pleasant buzz, so conversation does not become a shouting match. Wines by the glass are no bargain, but there are more beer brands (on tap, bottles, cans) than wines, anyway, plus a half-dozen specialty cocktails. Service was efficient and had a connection with the kitchen. Not good for children. Reservations recommended

A postcard to Boka Restaurant Group (Girl & the Goat, GT Fish and Oyster) about Perennial Virant: Tacking the name "Virant" onto "Perennial" just doesn't make sense. I can understand cashing in on top chef Paul Virant's name (he blessed with showers of accolades for his restaurant Vie in Western Springs). Was it all about saving money on signage? The banners hanging from the side of the building on North Lincoln still read "Perennial," which is the restaurant that once occupied this space. Why not just work the brand, and go with, say, Vie 2?
Virant (he is a partner in this new venture) has been a champion of the farm-to-table concept, and he continues to till the culinary soil at this new location with a very ambitious approach relative to frequent menu changes based on what is coming in from the farms. Water to table? Yes, that seems to be the case, too, at PV. For example, "Lake Michigan smelts" show up on the three menus (one from late June, one from early July, and one from July 10) I have in front of me.
Virant is not afraid to name drop about the source of his ingredients. Foodies will recognize Nichols Farm, Slagel Family Farms, Dietzler Farm and Klug Farm. It's a good thing, this farm-to-table idea, but it wouldn't surprise me if someone took this idea to the next level (a wheeled cart filled with pots of fresh herbs sidles tableside; you select the herbs to go with, say, the Werp Farm lettuces). That is my segue into the fact that PV comes up way short when it comes to using fresh herbs. Was there a flat tire on the farm-to-table truck? Moving on.
The "crispy Carnaroli rice" was a good piece of work, a "small plate" that ate large. The rice (think next-day risotto) was formed into a log and laced together with Brunkow cheese curds, then fried (a version of the Italian dish riso al salto, or crispy rice cake). And with this was a sweet onion vinaigrette along with delectable quarters of pickled yellow tomatoes and "market greens." All told, a fine example of the ordinary made exceptional.
"We recommend two to three plates per person" was the suggestion of our server as my wife and I looked over the menu of choices under the headings small, medium and large. Be wary of this advice. Portions at PV are generous, so, for example, a "small plate" of smoked sturgeon was more than enough for two to share. The cuts of sturgeon, surrounded by chunks of cucumbers slathered with lemon mayonnaise, rode atop a pair of "new crop potato latke." The sturgeon was excellent; the latkes were spongy, not crispy. Overall, though, an enjoyable dish.
For a medium plate, I selected "herb Parisienne gnocchi." Catchy name. Poor execution. Our server noted this as a "signature dish." No one has to sell me on gnocchi. Would that these had been the best gnocchi I ever treated my mouth to, however. Chunky? Yes. Too doughy? Yes. But I did like the way the dish was "thrown" together with chips of pickled garlic, fava beans, mushrooms and a glaze of "dante sheep's milk cheese" (a version of the Italian Pecorino Romano). Basically, a no-sauce Italian pasta dish groomed to come off as something exotic. Not great, but not a push-away, either.
I was bothered by the inconsistency at PV (something that did not occur at Vie). The pan-roasted sockeye salmon was terrific, but the smoked Dietzler Farms short ribs were lacking. The salmon, a nice fillet, chunky, perfectly roasted, was surrounded by florets of roasted cauliflower, thin slices of marinated summer squash (excellent) and cuts of grilled knob onions. A glaze of extra-virgin olive oil gave the vegetable a pleasing flavor boost.
As to the short ribs, one issue was the woeful lack of flavor — and would that the ribs had been better trimmed of fat. I could deal with that part, but the "crispy spaetzle" scattered over the ribs were just plain awful. Too small to even get on the tines of a fork, not crispy at all (and why should they be?) and probably some of the worst spaetzle I have come across.
Desserts? PV is trying hard but hardly comes up with anything interesting. The combinations are offbeat and not all that enticing, so it was a Hobson's choice at best. A slab of butter pound cake? (hello, Entenmann's). An elemental strawberry tart? The honey nougat glace with Michigan raspberries (bursting with luscious flavor), candied orange and a sable (cookie) was adequate but not amazing.

With Brian Urlacher out, Nick Roach will be stepping up to the Mike

BOURBONNAIS — He's not a bad tutor for Nick Roach to have right about now: Fast, 6-4, 258 pounds, bald, 12 years of Pro Bowl-level experience. Not bad at all.
But Brian Urlacher can pass all the knowledge he wants down to Roach about playing middle linebacker in Lovie Smith's version of the Tampa-2 and Roach still might be overwhelmed by what happens on the field.
"Moving a linebacker from the Sam [strong-side] to the Mike [middle], having him understand the middle of the field, it's all different,'' ESPN broadcaster and former NFL coach Herm Edwards said on Tuesday. "I'm not saying Nick Roach can't do it, but his whole world is about to change.''
Roach has been the fill-in guy while Urlacher was nursing an injured left knee. And now that Urlacher has had knee surgery? That could be a game-changer. Short-term, Roach remains the man in the middle. Long-term, it's sink or swim time for Roach.
"[Urlacher's] always coaching guys when he's not out there,'' Roach said. "He's telling guys certain things to look out for, what to look for in a certain situation. So he's pretty good about that.''
He'd better be great at it.
Edwards coached with Smith in Tampa Bay from 1996-2000. The cover-2 was their specialty before being renamed the Tampa-2 and then imported to Chicago. Under Smith, it was tweaked even more to take advantage of the physical gifts Urlacher brought to the middle.
That's why Edwards has his reservations that Roach — or anyone for that matter — can step in and come close to carrying the load that Urlacher does.
"It's not about just lining up a player out there,'' Edwards said. "All the experience Brian has, you can't just hand that over to someone. When you break it all down, he's really the quarterback for the defense. Back in Tampa, we were fortunate enough to have Derrick Brooks and Hardy Nickerson at the Mike. And even in our Tampa days, we took Hardy off the field on third downs. Brian never leaves the field. He's a filler and alley runner. He can do all the things that are an aspect of the position.''
In its simplest terms, the cover-2 is about the middle linebacker first. Then the focus is on the other two linebackers and then the cornerbacks.
"It's about covering from the inside out,'' Edwards explained. "It's seven guys dropping and all having to understand the principles of the defense. The beauty of that defense is that you see the same routes over and over because you force the offense to run them. There are concepts to beat it and that's what the offense is trying to do. I've yet to see a team come up with a new route for a receiver, so there are only so many ways to attack it. You start dictating to the offense what they can run, believe it or not.''
What is Edwards counting on? That Smith wouldn't set Roach up to fail.
"Lovie is not going to put Nick out there unless he's smart,'' Edwards said. "He's played some there, so it won't be all new to him, but there is going to be a lot on this guy. A lot.''

This image released by NASA shows the Curiosity rover holding a scoop of powdered rock on Mars. The rover recently drilled into a Martian rock for the first time and transferred a pinch of powder to its instruments to analyze the chemical makeup. (AP Photo/NASA)
Updated: March 12, 2013 2:39PM
LOS ANGELES — NASA scientists say tests on a Mars rock show the planet could have supported primitive life.
The analysis was done by the rover Curiosity, which drilled into the rock, crushed it and tested a tiny sample. The rover was the first spacecraft sent to Mars that could collect a sample from deep inside a rock.
At a briefing at NASA's Washington headquarters on Tuesday, NASA scientist said the rock contains clay minerals that formed in a watery environment — an environment that may be favorable for microscopic organisms.
Curiosity had already found a hint of the site's watery past — an ancient streambed that the six-wheel rover crossed to get to the flat bedrock.
The rover made a dramatic landing near the Mars equator last August for a two-year mission.

"The 5200 and 3600 series products were launched in the US late last month and will be rolled out across the rest of the world in the 2012/2013 period"
This is incorrect. The Netbackup 5200 series are available in the UK right now with loads of interest in this "Netbackup-in-a-box" solution.
Forget it! These guys will promise the earth and completely under-deliver!
These guys couldnt deliver a pizzabox let alone a fully functional platform!
I have worked with these guys and they make John Wayne look like a pro!
Because the chi-noisy's are involved then its a case of whatever you wanna hear, they will tell you. You have to "create" a roadmap for them - they wont have one, beyond 6 months and organisation! lmao! They couldnt organise a p1ss up at the proverbial brewery!
Nope. Steer well clear and choose a vendor you can trust and who has successfully delivered. People with no integrity and a hopeless track record, are best avoided if you wanna keep your job.
"Steer well clear and choose a vendor you can trust and who has successfully delivered"

So it's 12 basic principles,
All of us must know!
"I Care" – I am a leader,
I'm focused and have fun.
I lead with actions - not my words,
That's principle number One.

Binghamton softball beats UMBC 8-7 in eight innings
Box Score
VESTAL, N.Y.-- Sophomore second baseman Patty Egan (Sierra Vista, Ariz.) singled home the winning run with one out in the bottom of the eighth inning, leading Binghamton (6-25, 2-12 AE) to an 8-7 walkoff win over UMBC (26-14, 9-6 AE) in an America East Conference softball game on Tuesday afternoon at the East Gym Complex. The win is the Bearcats' first over the Retrievers in three tries this season.
Egan's clutch hit drove in sophomore outfielder Sandy Meadows (Buena, Ariz.) from second base. Meadows drew a one-out walk and stole second base during Egan's at-bat.
Earlier in the game, the Bearcats rallied from a 5-0 first-inning deficit to deadlock the game at 5-5 in the bottom of the fourth inning. Senior outfielder Sara Eppolito (Manlius, N.Y.) drew a bases-loaded walk to cap a three-run second inning and tied the game in the fourth inning with a two-out single.
Senior pinch runner Heather Bennett put UMBC up 6-5 in the top of the fifth inning when she scored a throwing error. Meadows, however, tied the game in the bottom of the frame by scoring on a fielder's choice. Two batters later, junior pinch hitter Megan Quinn (Temecula, Calif.) drew a bases-loaded walk, giving Binghamton a 7-6 edge.
In the top of the sixth inning, senior first baseman Melanie Denischuk tied the game at 7-7 with a one-out single. The Retrievers, however, stranded a pair of runners in both the sixth and seventh innings.
Binghamton had a chance to win in regulation but left the winning run on third base in the bottom of the seventh inning. A scoreless top of the eighth inning, however, set the stage for Egan's heroics.
Sophomore pitcher Cyrilla Suker (Vooreheesville, N.Y.), who pitched four innings in relief, scattered one run on three hits and struck out eight batters to record her fourth win of the season. Two of her strikeouts came in the top of the eighth inning.
Meadows finished the game 2-for-4 and scored three runs . Eppolito had a game-high three RBI and Egan drove in a pair of runs.
Sophomore Krista Kearns, who started the game as the designated hitter, pitched the last three innings and was tagged with the loss. At the plate, however, she had a game-high three hits.
Binghamton heads to Vermont for a three-game weekend series, starting with a noon doubleheader on Saturday.

Surgical pathology is the study of tissues removed from living patients during surgery to help diagnose a disease and determine a treatment plan. Often, the surgical pathologist provides consultation services in a wide variety of organ symptoms and subspecialties. Surgical pathologists provide diagnostic information and/or second opinions. For example, when performing breast cancer surgery, a surgical pathologist's examination of tissues removed during surgery can help the surgeon to determine whether to remove lymph nodes under the arm, as well.
Surgical pathology includes both the physical examination of the tissue with the naked eye, as well as examining processed tissue under a microscope. New techniques of examination of tissue and cell specimens involve molecular diagnostics (DNA/RNA analysis), which involves analyzing DNA and proteins in the blood. Examples of the uses of the technology include the ability to:

This Little Underground
Our live music columnist discusses Zs, Chuck Ragan's Revival Tour and Brink Thursdays
Published: March 27, 2013
I recently got to check out newish spot the Brink (March 21), now unrecognizable from its previous form as the old Hoops Tavern. Though this is no longer the gritty intersection of pre-gentrification downtown drunks and young punks that was made even cooler by its head-scratching coexistence, I was drawn by another intriguing crossroads: roots hip-hop at a gay club. Specifically, it was the new themed weekly event under the stewardship of local scene mover Swamburger. Now, I had a buncha nice shit typed in my phone about this place and the refreshing concept, but then things went sideways.
This night's motif was East Coast versus West Coast hip-hop (as if that answer was ever in doubt). While I was vibin' to DJ BMF's legit East Coast mix, the music took a neck-snapping turn into top '40s dance at the very early time of 10:30 p.m. Turns out, his set was unceremoniously stubbed by club management, DJ Shadow-style, to cater to a small party that didn't care for the night's theme and ended up bouncing after only an hour anyway.
After a lot of confusion, frustration and concession, the original party was allowed to continue in the back room. But the potential was interrupted and, in effect, it was over before it began. We'll see how this plays out, but undermining the promoter and disrespecting the people who paid to get into the event like that isn't exactly setting up a fledgling night for success.

WASHINGTON Conspiracy theories have become a way of life in America, no longer limited to paranoid crazies on the political fringe. Today they are promoted by mainstream news outlets, political figures, and prominent individuals. As soon as Bill Clinton was accused of conducting an illicit relationship with Monica Lewinsky, Hillary was on the air with accusations of a right-wing plot to undermine the president. When terrorist bombs exploded at two American embassies in Africa, suggestions of a scheme by fundamentalist Muslims soon had to compete with claims that the attacks were planned by Clinton to draw attention away from his affair with Lewinsky.
In each case, the facts eventually came out. But facts usually do little to stem the tide of conspiracy theories they have a way of taking on a life of their own. Since conspiracies are by nature secret, they are impossible to disprove: lack of press coverage or government evidence to the contrary only demonstrates that the media and the government are part of the plot.
People have always searched for the hidden hand behind historic events, but conspiracy theories have truly proliferated only in the post-Cold War era. There are no Communists left to take the blame for everything that goes wrong, yet the world seems an increasingly complex and insecure place, where currency trading in Asia can bring down the American stock market, and a semen stain can bring down a presidency.
Today, inexplicable tragedies or negative turns in world events tend to be attributed to one of a vast array of hidden and sinister forces: Maybe they're the work of the international Jewish conspiracy, the focus of the most enduring of all these theories. Perhaps it's the drug lords who operate through Clinton's "Dixie Mafia" from their secret headquarters on an airstrip in Mena, Arkansas. It might be the "Power Elite," the Big Business clique that works under the tutelage of David Rockefeller and his evil theoretician, Henry Kissinger. And of course, it could be aliensbut we don't know for sure, since the government has long conspired to hide all evidence of extraterrestrial visitations.
Government cover-ups, in fact, seem to figure in just about all conspiracy theories. "A random telephone survey of 800 American adults in September 1996 found that 74 percentvirtually three out of four citizensbelieve that the U.S. government regularly engages in conspiratorial and clandestine operations," writes Robert Anton Wilson, author of Everything Is Under Control: Conspiracies, Cults, and Cover-ups. During the Reagan/Bush years, it was the left that was the most vocal in describing a "shadow government"a force seen in such scandals as Iran-Contra and BCCI. In the 1990s, however, right-wing theories of government plots exhibit the most vitality.
The worldviews of militias and other far-right extremists are often conspiracy-based, but the influence of their theories reaches well into the mainstream. In 1995, Texas congressman Steve Stockman accused the Clinton administration of staging the government raid at Waco to build support for its ban on assault weapons, while Representative Helen Chenoweth of Idaho voiced militia complaints that "black helicopters" were being used to enforce the Endangered Species Act.
Some conspiracy theories today make strange bedfellows of common adherents on the left and right, and of hard-boiled politicos and starry-eyed believers in the paranormal. And the current pop-cultural climate has served as a breeding ground for these devious notions. The X-Files and the numerous shows it has inspired combine stories of slimy aliens and modern-day werewolves with complex government schemes to cover up military research into gene splicing and biological weaponry, and the Internet offers sites catering to every possible combination of paranoid analysis.
What follows is a list of some of the world's most enduring conspiracies, along with a few of the more popular and bizzare from among the current crop.
Protocols of the Elders of Zion
Author / Date of Origin: The Czar's Secret Police/early 20th century
The Theory: One of the many versions of the Worldwide Jewish Conspiracy aimed at undermining civil society and establishing Jewish control. The Protocols posit that once every hundred years, the reigning elders of the 12 tribes of Israel gather in a Jewish cemetery in Prague and plot to enslave gentiles and take over world. Promoted in the U.S. in the '20s and '30s by Henry Ford and Ford car salesmen, the Protocols remain popular at gun shows, militia meetings, and other far-right gatherings.
True Believers: The far-right racialist political movement in the U.S. and its counterparts in Europe and Australia
Reality Check: The Holocaust (Response: many of the same groups insist that the Holocaust is a fiction invented to win sympathy for the Jews.)
Big Business Plot to Kill JFK With the Help of Nazi Scientists
Author / Date of Origin: William Torbitt (pseudonym)/1970
The Theory: The John F. Kennedy assassination was set up by leaders of the military industrial complex through a cabal that includes NASA, a supersecret "Defense Industrial Security Command" run by Werner von Braun, J. Edgar Hoover's Division Five investigative unit, and the mob. Lee Harvey Oswald was a "mind-control victim." The plot may have been masterminded by Nazi scientists working under NASA cover at a secret site in the Nevada desert.

Kanye West Admits, Raps: I Fell in Love with Kim Kardashian!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Apparently we owe a giant apology to Amber Rose.
The model went off a couple months ago about an affair between Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, saying the rapper and the reality star got together when she was dating the former and the latter was in a relationship with Reggie Bush.
Now, in the just-released track "Theraflu," Kanye seems to corroborate this allegation, coming straight out and admitting: I fell in love with Kim around the same time she fell in love with him. Listen for yourself:
West also makes a reference to Kim's ex-husband, Kris Humphries, who plays power forward for the New Jersey Nets, an NBA team partially owned by Kanye's good pal, Jay-Z. Hence, the following "Theraflu" lyric:
Well that's cool, baby girl, do your thing, lucky I ain't have Jay drop him from the team.
So... yeah. Wow. Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. You'd think the music mogul could do better than the wooden reality star, but then you think of Ray J's description of Kim and remember: Right! Sexual hypnosis.
UPDATE: Sources tell TMZ Kim and Kanye are dating! Right now! For real! They saw The Hunger Games this week together in NYC!
I've recently watched Kim Kardashian Sex Tape!
Watch it here: Kim Kardashian Sex Tape (ultimate version)

Kim needs to step back and look at what she is doing.
Two dumb-ass limelight whores with zero talent -- makes sense to me. I'm just pissed this publicity seeker is going to be planting that lardy ass of hers in NYC more than ever. Keep 'em both in CA!!
They deserve each other. Two people who think they have more talent and worth in their own minds than they ever will in reality.
Kanye has a thing for old worn out nasty white Hollywood skanks!..He has boned out Pamela Anderson.. Now Kanye is boning out Kim Kardashian. Kanye boned out Kim while she was married to Kris Humphries...This girl is a piece of garbage... a serial cheater!. Kanye must like choochie that had been slammed out by numerous salami's!....fake azz ho!

Oprah Winfrey was born on January 29th, 1954 in Kosciuski, Mississippi with the middle name Gail, born to Vernita Lee and Vermon Winfrey. Her mother had her when she was just a teenager and Winfrey's father did not help raise her. Her childhood was filled with financial struggles and her mother left her to be raised by her grandmother, Hatti Mae Lee.
By the age of three her grandmother had already taught her how to read and write and she was very active in church. When she did enroll in school, she was much brighter than many of the other children therefore, her grades excelled and she was able to skip kindergarten and went from first to third grade.
Winfrey spent her whole childhood being shipped back and forth between her grandmother, her biological mother, her biological father and even experienced the tragedy of being raped at the age of nine by her nineteen year old cousin and she again had the same situation occur by a family friend and an uncle.
Due to the lack of a decent upbringing, when she was thirteen years old, Oprah ran away from home and became pregnant when she was only fourteen, however she lost the baby shortly after he was born.
Oprah once again returned home and was sent to Tennessee to live with her biological father. While attending Nashville East High School she became involved with drama and her first break in entertainment came when she was heard rehearsing for a school drama production when a local radio station called, WVOL heard her speak and offered her a chance to read on the radio.
This opportunity followed with a public speaking contest which she won and was then awarded a scholarship to study at Tennessee State University, where she majored in Speech Communications and Performing Arts.
Prior to earning her degree she was offered a chance to work as a co anchor for a television station which she declined but more offers kept coming and soon she was working in Baltimore, Maryland as a reporter. When she was fired from this job, Oprah did not give up on the world of entertainment, instead she took a job as a talk show host on, "People Are Talking" which she stayed employed with for seven years.
Oprah now knew 100% that she wanted to be on stage, and this was her career choice. She then sent off her audition tapes to a talk show in Chicago called, A.M Chicago which she was not only hired for, but they changed the name to, "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in 1985. She had already made a name for herself becoming the first African American to host a television talk show and the best was yet to come.
The show was highly successful and covered all sorts of topics. At one time it was estimated she had 6.5 billion viewers a day tuning into her show making it the most popular talk show in US history. The show won numerous Awards such as a number of daytime Emmy's. The show had so many fans and was so successful that in 2000, a magazine was started called, "The Oprah Magazine". The show had it's final series air on May 25th 2011.
In addition to the success of her career as the most popular talk show host, Oprah also added to her resume a number of acting credits. In 1985, she debuted in her first film role, "The Color Purple" a role where she portrayed a housewife, Sofia and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. This film was later turned into a Broadway musical.
Soon she added other film credits to her resume as, "Beloved" (1998) which she not only starred in but also served as producer. She even started her own film company, Harpo Productions and released such films as, "Their Eyes Were Watching God" and she added voice over credits for the films, "Charlotte's Web" (2006), "Bee Movie" (2007) and "The Princess and the Frog" (2010).
Along with working as a television host, and actress she appeared on the, "Late Night Show with David Letterman" and is also a published author. In total she co-authored five books and even started an online website, Oprah.com. In 2006, she signed a three year contract with XM Satellite Radio for, Oprah Radio.
She has received numerous honors throughout her career such as being inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca, New York in 1994 and was awarded an Achievement Award in 1998 from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences as well as a Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences in 2011.
Oprah has also accomplished many other feats throughout her lifetime such as being the first African-American woman to become a billionaire in American History and was named #3 on the annual Forbes magazine Celebrity 100 list in 2006. In 2009 she was awarded an honorary doctorate from Duke University. Many magazines and newspapers have said she is not only the most influential woman of her generation but the most influential black person of the previous quarter century. She has made #1 on the list of most powerful women in such magazines as Ladies Home Journal as well as being named on the top of Entertainment Weekly's list of 101 Most Powerful People in the entertainment industry.
It is known to anyone who viewed her talk show that since her early twenties she has maintained a friendship with her best friend, Gayle King. King at one time was the host of, "The Gayle King Show" and editor of, "O, the Oprah Magazine". Many have accused Winfrey and King of being homosexual due to their very public close relationship, however, this is not the case at all.
Oprah has always been a very charitable lady. In 2006, she donated $58,000 to the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy as well as Oprah's Angel Network. Due to her childhood experiences with child molestation she feels very strongly about the issue and therefore she created the, "Oprah Child Predator Watch List" through her talk show as well as her website, which assists in catching accused child molesters. Oprah also traveled to South Africa in 2004 and passed out Christmas presents to over 50,000 children in poverty stricken areas. She also invested $40 million to establish the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in Johannesburg, South Africa. This school has over 450 students and offers the children access to computers, science laboratories, a library and a theater. She even takes time to teach a class to the children via satellite.
She has had a number of relationships but has never married and has no biological living children. In 1986 she began dating, Stedman Graham and they announced their engagement in 1992, however although they never followed through with a ceremony, they remain together.
