The Real Housewives of New Jersey heads back to the Teresa and Jacqueline summit as the "Children of the Scorned" try to patch up their friendship.
We recap the tattered remains in THG's +/- review.
After last week where Teresa Giudice called Jacqueline evil and Jac shot back with calling Tre a sociopath, I was expecting more from this summit meaning.
Minus 15 because instead of a cat fight it was a giant snooze fest. I don't think anyone really owned up to anything from the past, they just decided to move on. How long will it be before it all falls apart once again?
The worst part was having to hear Joe Guidice talk about autism once again.
Minus 12 because the ignorant meter was spiking off the charts. But then again, if we kept Joe to speaking about subjects he actually understood, it wouldn't give him much air time.

The Higashidōri Nuclear Power Plant (東通原子力発電所 Higashidōri genshiryoku hatsudensho?, Higashidōri NPP) is a nuclear power plant located in the town of Higashidōri in eastern Aomori Prefecture, on the Shimokita Peninsula, facing the Pacific Ocean. It is unique in Japan in that at this four-unit site, two units are run by one company, the Tōhoku Electric Power Company and two units are run by the Tokyo Electric Power Company. The reactors are all of Toshiba design.
Construction of Tohoku Electric's Higashidori Unit-1 began in November 2000 and was completed in December 2005. The design was based on Tohoku Electric's Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant Unit-3, with improvements to the reactor vessel to allow for greater ease in inspection and maintenance. A separate building, apart from the containment structure, is dedicated specifically for the heat exchanger system based on seawater to provide primary coolant for the reactor.
Earthquake susceptibility[edit]
On 20 December 2012 a panel of the Japanese Nuclear Regulatory Authority decided that two geologic faults under the nuclear plant were geological active: one fault called F-3 running vertically through the southern part of the plant's grounds close by the reactor no. 1 and another fault called F-9, that is running parallel with F-3 were probably active.
Although Tohoku Electric Power claimed that the deformations inside the geological layers were the result of the swelling of clay minerals after they were exposed to water, Kunihiko Shimazaki, commissioner of the Nuclear Regulation Authority and head of the panel, said at the meeting, that any argument that the faults were not active, was totally unacceptable.[1][2]
In the application for permission to construct the No. 1 reactor at the Higashidori plant in 1996, Tohoku Electric Power Co. reported that there would be no active faults under the plant's premises. In another report submitted to the government in 2008 in response to the 2006 revision to the government's seismic-resistance design screening guidelines, the compagny asserted "There are no active faults in the neighborhood within 5 kilometers (from the Higashidori plant)." According to Shimazaki, chairman of the team of experts, the old sketches (of layers studied by Tohoku Electric) lacked credibility.[3]
On 18 February 2012 the NRA-panel of experts presented their draft report on the earthquake fault complex at the premises of the nuclear reactor site. Their conclusions:
- two faults, named "F-3" and "F-9," did produce several strike-slip thrusts within the past 110,000 years or so
- the activity from the eight other F-type faults within the nuclear plant were "linked systematically."
- an evaluation of the "F-1"-fault, that runs under the water-intake facility of the nuclear power plant was needed, because geological changes might have occurred in a period 120.000 to 130.000 years ago.
These conclusions could cause an extra examination of the seismic resistance of the reactor buildings and re-enforcing them. On 14 February 2013 Tohoku Electric Power Co. made a request to the government to raise the electric power rates, while the company thought that the No. 1 reactor could be restarted around July 2015. At the presentation of the report, Tohoku Electric Power opposed these findings, and argued that water influx had caused the swelling of the geological layers, and it would start their own investigations the next day. The NRA-panel saw no grounds for this reasoning, they did not want to wait and planned to finalize the report with other experts.[4]
Reactors Run by Tohoku Electric Company[edit]
The Unit 1 was commissioned on March 9, 2005, and then began commercial operation on December 12, 2005. The site area is 3,580,000 m2 (885 acres).[5]

Although the plant was in maintenance shutdown during the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, the April 7th aftershock caused the loss of all external power and the plant had to switch to backup power to supply cooling to the spent fuel pool where the reactor's fuel rods were being stored.[8][9]
On 24 October 2011 a research group under professor Mitsuhisa Watanabe of the University of Toyo published a report that raised questions about the seismic safety of the plant-site. A number of faults are present under the complex and in this study it is unclear whether these faults might be active, as some experts noted recently in the NISA safety-screening process. In the study, the researchers said that certain characteristics are typical for the existence of active faults under the plant site, when they analyzed the surveys conducted by the two utilities for constructing the reactors there. Tohoku Electric and TEPCO, denied that there were active faults, and said that the faults were shaped by the swelling of water-bearing strata. Professor emeritus from Hiroshima University, who took part in the analysis, criticized the utilities for this denial. The new report might have an effect on the decision whether to resume operations of the reactor, and could also affect the earthquake-proof safety screenings of other nuclear plants.[10]

Amazon and AT&T are busy gearing up for the release the Amazon Kindle Fire Phone next week, but before then, they gotta get the word out. The phone's first commercial has been uploaded to YouTube and features 2 young children (acting like adults) bragging to nearby adults about their new Kindle Fire Phones.
It's cute, but doesn't show off any of the phones unique hardware features — like Firefly which scans over 100 million products, movies, songs, books and more — choosing instead to focus on media content and Amazon's free 1-year subscription to Amazon Prime. A nice value, but one we don't imagine will help move units from store shelves.
The phone will be available next Friday, July 25th at your local AT&T store, or through Amazon here. Check out the new video down below.

By Larry Robertson; Photo by Richard Zazulak
That night, all the players who had a hand or a glove in winning Sir Hugh Andrew Montagu Allan's treasured piece of hardware have been invited back to witness the unfurling of Hockey Canada's Allan Cup Banner, and the presentation of Allan Cup rings during a pre-game ceremony in the JL Grightmire Arena.
That night, the Real McCoys take on the third place Brantford Blast at 7:30 p.m. and follow it up with a return trip to the Telephone City to play the Blast at 2 p.m. Sunday (November 30) afternoon in the Brantford Civic Centre.
The night will be a fitting match-up between the Ontario Hockey Association's John Ross Robertson Cup champions (Brantford) and the Canadian Senior AAA Allan Cup champions (Dundas).
"That was an interesting weekend. We played without some of our veterans on defence last Friday, and managed to grab two points. Saturday night was another matter. "If we can stay around the .500 mark until everybody gets their legs under them, I think we will be okay," said Robertson.
This past weekend, however, had its share of us and downs. One of the ups was the club's 3-2 victory over the league-leading Stoney Creek Generals, which played anything like league leaders. One of the downs was the club's short-staffed 8-3 loss in Whitby.
Saturday night, Whitby seemed to win handily as it out shot Dundas 52-40. Shane Terry led the way for the Dunlops with two goals and an assist. For the McCoys, Scott Stafford picked up a goal and an assist as Cam Watson and Chris McGuffin completed the scoring with a goal each.
Last Friday, the McCoys scored three second-period goals en route to their victory over Stoney Creek. The game, however, was not as close as the score indicates. Dundas built a 3-0 lead before the Generals came back with a Kyle Zettler goal with one second left in the middle period. The Generals final goal came from Mike Ruberto with two seconds left in the game.
Watson and Stafford shine in defeat
DUNDAS—You can call it a missed opportunity for the Dundas Real McCoys, but there were some positives to the 7-4 loss to the Brantford Blast last Friday night in Allan Cup Hockey in the Brantford Civic Centre.
One of the positives was the return of Cam Watson to the lineup with his first two-goal performance of the season. The other, was another strong offensive performance by Scott Stafford with a second period powerplay goal. Dundas had the best powerplay on the night getting three goals on four opportunities.
Don Robertson, President and General Manager of the Dundas Real McCoys, however, felt his charges were not as mentally prepared as they should have been for the contest.
"Brantford seemed more prepared Friday night and we just didn't respond as well as we had hoped we would. We played without two former pros at centre (Shawn Snider and Dan Lapointe), and that really showed," said Robertson.
"We don't have the depth yet to compensate when players are not available, however, we expect to have everybody Friday night at home. This weekend will be a real test because we play both Stoney Creek and Whitby, and that will tell us how we stack up."
Friday night (November 21) the McCoys play the Stoney Creek Generals at 7:30 p.m. in the JL Grightmire Arena, and then travel to Whitby on Saturday to play the Dunlops at 6:30 p.m. in the Iroquois Sports Centre
In addition to Watson and Stafford, Chris McGuffin added another goal while Simon Mangos assisted on two scoring plays.
Special Events
Allan Cup Championship night is set for Friday, November 28th when the Allan Cup banner will be raised and all the players will be invited back to receive their Allan Cup rings during a pre-game ceremony.
Season Tickets
Dundas Real McCoys season tickets are available by calling 905-627-4880, or at the office of ComChoice Real Estate, 179 King Street West in Dundas.
Dundas posts season-opening sweep
Last Friday, they opened their 2014-15 season with a 5-2 victory over Norwood Vipers in in the JL Grightmire Arena, and followed it up with a 4-1 win over Stoney Creek Generals in the Gateway Arena.
"Last year, it seemed we just changed the lines and let the players go. This year, there's a lot more instruction needed, and the new guys are responding to it well so far," said President and General Manager Don Robertson.
Curtis Campbell and Shawn Snider had a goal and two assists apiece in the home opener, with Keegan Rowe, Omar Ennaffatti, and Chris McGuffin adding singles. Rowe and Ennaffatti each assisted on a goal. In addition to Diminie, Joe Curry scored once for Norwood.
Last Sunday, in the McCoys first road game of the season, Snider picked up another two-point game with a goal and an assist. Dan Lapointe and Scott Stafford also scored once and set up another goal each. McGuffin had the other Dundas goal, while teammate, Mike Amodeo set up two goals. Dundas scored in each period even though they were outshot 51-29 by Stoney Creek. Mike Ruberto had the lone goal for the Generals.
The next action for Dundas is Friday, November 14 when they travel to Brantford to take on the Blast at 7:30 p.m. in the Brantford Community Centre. Dundas returns home to play Stoney Creek on Friday, November 21 at 7:30 p.m. before travelling to Whitby to play the Dunlops the following night in the Iroquois Sports Centre at 6:30 p.m.

This May, students from the college's theatre department will perform
the hilarious Tony nominated comedy "Noises Off" on the main stage of
the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center at College of the Canyons
Described by New York critics as "the funniest farce ever written," this uproarious comedy follows the on- and off-stage antics of an inept acting troupe as they stumble from bumbling dress rehearsal to disastrous closing night.
"Everything that can go wrong does, as actors desperately try to hang on to their lines, their performances, and the furniture," said Paul Wickline, College of the Canyons theatre department chair and director of the production. "Add a slippery plate of sardines and a slew of slamming doors and you have the most sidesplitting backstage comedy ever written."
The College of the Canyons production of "Noises Off" will open on the PAC main stage Thursday, May 7 and run through Sunday, May10. Show times are as follows:
- Thursday, May 7, at 8 p.m.
- Friday, May 8, at 8 p.m.
- Saturday, May 9, 8 p.m.
- Sunday May 10, at 2 p.m.
Admission is $5 for students and seniors and $10 for adults. Group rates are available. For more ticket information please contact the PAC box office at (661) 362-5304 or visit www.canyonspac.com.

Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Another new start date for Medicaid management system
After years of delays, the state's new Medicaid Management Information System will begin operations April 1.
That is what Health and Human Services Commissioner Nicholas Toumpas told executive councilors last week, but several have doubts the system - initially expected to be up and running by December 2007 - will be ready in April.
Start-up dates have been set before, most recently Jan. 1.
Councilors have complained about the delays and added costs of the information system, which the contractor is developing from scratch rather than with existing processing programs from other states.
The council approved a $26 million contract with Affiliated Computer Services Inc., a Xerox company, in December 2005. Since then, the council has voted on several contract extensions and additional contracts with the current processor, Electronic Data Systems, to continue its operations.
"Frankly, we should have pulled the plug on this a long time ago," said District 3 Councilor Raymond Wieczorek, R-Manchester. "Now they are stuck."
New Hampshire is not alone. The company is working on similar systems for California, North Dakota, Montana and Alaska, which have all essentially been waiting for the company to complete the New Hampshire system as the base model.
When the contract was approved, ACS was working on a new Medicaid system for North Carolina and Georgia. Within six months, North Carolina settled with the company and went to another vendor. Georgia cancelled portions of its contract.
In New Hampshire, HHS has plugged along with ACS with oversight by the federal Center for Medicaid Services, which has told the state it needs to go forward with the project.
The new system will integrate what are now separate functions related to the state's Medicaid program and do that over the Web, not dedicated data lines.
In a letter to health care providers, Toumpas notes the new system will "identify Medicaid eligible recipients, enroll NH Medicaid providers, maintain service authorizations, check for third-party insurance coverage, adjudicate claims and determine final payment."
The overall 2005 contract with ACS for developing the new system, and for five years of operating it, was $61 million, at the time one of the largest in state history. The federal government pays between 78 and 90 percent of the costs.
According to information Toumpas provided, health care providers have been able to enroll with the department for a little less than a year and in February will have greater access to system functions.
The system will "go live" April 1, the day the contract ends with Hewlett Packard, which purchased EDS, the longtime claims processor for the state.
At last week's breakfast meeting with executive councilors, Toumpas said New Hampshire has learned from mistakes made in Maine. There, a breakdown between the Medicaid billing and payment system and the eligibility system resulted in tens of millions of dollars being paid by mistake to some providers while others did not get paid at all.
Eventually, when the state went to collect the overpayments, some of the providers were out of business.
In July, the federal HHS told Maine it had to pay back $9.2 million because of the eligibility errors.
"I don't know what is going to happen April 1, whether it starts or blows up," said Wieczorek. "The whole project is a nightmare."
Last year, Gov. John Lynch and lawmakers approved moving the state Medicaid system from a fee-for-service model to a managed care system. That system has yet to begin because hospitals and other providers have been slow to agree to terms with the three companies the state selected to oversee the new system.
Lawmakers had hoped to save $16 million this year with the managed care system, but that is impossible now, nearly halfway through the fiscal year.
Toumpas told the council the managed care program was not part of the original proposal and changes will have to be made to the new information system to accommodate it.
Other changes will also have to be made to the system once it is up and running, including enhanced provider screening and hospice and family planning services. And, he said, other related contracts will have to be extended or approved in the next few months.
ACS is supposed to make the state "whole" for the delays and to date has paid New Hampshire $1.8 million. The state and federal HHS have paid $17.4 million to ACS for its work to date. The state's share of those costs is $1.74 million.
"This has been an absolute train wreck," said Ed Dupont, who represents EDS, which lost the bid to ACS in 2005 but has continued to provide processing services since that time. "No other state has run this far behind. This is a record."
While state lawmakers debate whether to expand Medicaid eligibility under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, they may want to wait and see how the system works first before adding 60,000 or so new clients.

ALL FOR NAUGHT: The Legislative Ethics Committee last week issued a ruling dealing with petitions to the Redress of Grievances Committee.
The ethics committee was asked what obligation lawmakers, who bring the petitions for residents, have when dealing with private health and financial information of third parties not the object of the redress sought by the filer.
The other question asked what obligations lawmakers have if they disseminate protected information through "unofficial channels."
The ruling said lawmakers should exercise "caution and due diligence" in deciding what information should be included in a grievance petition, whether the information is accurate, protected by law from disclosure, or truly needed to make the petitioner's case.
The ruling urged similar cautions before disseminating the information through informal channels.
The Redress of Grievances Committee was reconstituted by House Speaker William O'Brien two years ago.
With Democrats in the majority once they are sworn in Dec. 5, most people expect the Redress of Grievances Committee to go back into hibernation, which will render the ethics committee opinion moot, at least for the next two years.
- - - - - - -
LIQUOR YES, RETIREMENT NO: Two special committees O'Brien appointed this summer that had a great deal of interest, studying the liquor commission and revamping the state retirement system, are apt to have different fates with the new Democrat-controlled House.
The retirement system report, which recommends the state move new hires into a defined contribution system, much like a 401(k) account, and out of the current defined benefit system, is likely to be ignored.
Such a change was found by several actuaries to be more expensive, particularly for cities and towns, than going forward with the current system.
The liquor commission study recommends replacing the three commissioners with one commissioner and a deputy, and returning greater control over the agency's budgets and contracts to lawmakers and the Executive Council.
That study, or at least parts of it, will probably have a better chance of support.
Lawmakers will be looking for every last dime of revenue, and anything that can be done to maximize profits and reduce costs at the liquor commission is likely to find favor with lawmakers.

Probe finds ATK tests of rocket motors don't foul water, nearby soil
No permanent damage found in well or earth samples, they claim
Ravell Call, Ravell Call, Deseret News
PROMONTORY, Box Elder County — Concerns over potential groundwater or soil contamination from ATK's testing of powerful solid rocket motors used in the space shuttle program prompted a state and federal inquiry to determine if there were any harmful public health effects.
The site investigation, done by the Environmental Protection Agency in tandem with the state Division of Environmental Response and Remediation, found no long-term health or environmental risks to soil or water that would come from the result of rocket motor testing.
The agencies closed their investigations this month after holding an open house in the neighboring community of Tremonton, where residents were briefed on sampling results and actions taken in the inquiry.
The probe was prompted by a resident who petitioned the EPA in August 2010, asking for sampling to determine safety or relative risk related to ATK's test firing of solid rocket motors. The large-scale motors produced by ATK are tested twice a year to ensure their safety when launching astronauts or payloads into space.
"Basically, what we were trying to determine was if there were any long-term residual impacts or effects as a result of that test-fired soil," said Dale Urban, the division's site assessment program manager.
Urban said the tremendous heat and energy released during the motor testing blasts away soil and rock, essentially pulverizing the natural limestone rock at the test site.
The tests not only draw a crowd of space industry executives and media, but they attract busloads of children and others who want to feel the ground rumble and watch the spectacular plumes fill the sky.
Urban said environmental regulators took samples from nine drinking wells and six soil samples in 2011. The testing spanned private well locations in the towns of Penrose and Thatcher and community wells that serve Marble Hills, Bothwell, Thatcher-Penrose, West-Corrine and the Bear River Water Conservancy District, which supplies agricultural and municipal water to much of the area.
Scientists were looking to determine if samples from the wells, groundwater and soil contained elevated levels of metals or other contaminants. The EPA and state air quality regulators also collected airborne debris samples during rocket motor testing.
Analysis of some of the debris indicated a presence of high pH, which can cause brief irritation and a burning association if it comes in contact with the skin, Urban said. The pH may become neutralized as it is falling from the sky and mixing with native soils, he said.
As a precaution, the division recommends avoiding direct contact with the debris during any future testing events.
The state and federal governments organized the informational open house earlier this month to update residents on their findings, a move Urban said officials believed was important in the investigation.
"This was beyond the typical response. We normally just provide a copy of the lab results and reports," he said. "But the EPA felt it was appropriate to follow up with community outreach."
Urban said ATK completed a major hillside modification project in early 2011 that may be helping corral the debris on its property.
The flame trench at the primary testing site was deepened and expanded by excavating 15,000 tons of rock and sand that were hauled away in 1,000 dump truck loads, according to ATK officials. The area was also revegetated.
ATK spokeswoman Trina Helquist said the expansion has been effective in helping to reduce the amount of debris that becomes airborne, adding that the company also follows strict protocols to assess wind and weather conditions.

A Lebanese man gets robbed at gunpoint and loses his laptop. He finds his only means of resolution is to tell the thief directly how he feels; this week in Amman; the reason Russia hates the West; and Palestinians remember those who are on hunger strike.
This virus basically attack the respiratory system and like many other possible pandemics, it is not staying in one place; If Syria has to ditch their weapons, why not the US and Russia as well? and the US calls out Israeli Settlers as terrorists.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and clinical role of azilsartan medoxomil, an angiotensin-II receptor blocker (ARB) that recently gained US Food and Drug Administration approval for lowering of blood pressure (BP) in patients with hypertension. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed through October 2011 using the keywords and medical subject headings azilsartan, azilsartan medoxomil, TAK-491, TAK-536, and Edarbi. Citations eligible for inclusion were in vitro or in vivo evaluations of azilsartan medoxomil with no restrictions on patient population or indication used. Data related to the patient populations and outcomes of interest were extracted from each citation. Results: Three trials are available in full publication form, with others available only as abstracts. Azilsartan medoxomil 40 mg and 80 mg daily significantly improves both systolic and diastolic BP from baseline compared with placebo, and the 80 mg dose has greater efficacy than other ARBs, including olmesartan 40 mg daily and valsartan 320 mg daily. Improvements in both 24-hour BP using ambulatory monitoring and clinic BPs, as well as a higher proportion of patients reaching goal, have been seen with azilsartan medoxomil. Additional information shows added BP lowering when azilsartan medoxomil is combined with chlorthalidone. Adverse events are similar with azilsartan medoxomil compared to other ARBs and include headache, dizziness, urinary tract infections, and fatigue. Conclusions: Azilsartan medoxomil is a safe and effective ARB with a unique pharmacologic profile compared with other agents, including slowed angiotensin-II type 1 (AT1) receptor dissociation rates and improved receptor specificity. Studies have shown azilsartan medoxomil 80 mg once daily to reduce BP to a greater extent than valsartan and olmesartan, with similar safety and tolerability.

A conversation on the State of Young Philadelphia; Obama's immigration plans
Guests: Laura Meckler, Ben Stango, Michelle Freeman, and Kellan White
Over the course of the past week, the 2014 State of Young Philly series has been in full swing. Panels, discussions, and other events aimed toward bringing young Philadelphians together have focused on their hopes for the future of the city, especially as they look ahead to the 2015 mayoral elections. In this hour of Radio Times, we'll have a conversation on the state of young Philadelphia with community builder BEN STANGO, MICHELLE FREEMAN, the head of Witty Gritty and publisher of Flying Kite Media, and KELLAN WHITE, the community engagement and special project manager for Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds-Brown. But first, we talk to the Wall Street Journal's LAURA MECKLER about President Obama's immigration policy, the Republican reaction, and the risks for both parties. Last night he laid out his executive action plan on immigration which includes protection from deportation for five million undocumented immigrants.

Guests: Bennett Miller, Nancy Schultz
[From the Radio Times archive] The highly anticipated film "Foxcatcher" hits theaters in a couple weeks. It depicts the true story of Olympic wrestler Dave Schultz's murder by John du Pont on his Newtown Square estate outside Philadelphia. The film is directed by BENNETT MILLER and has received rave reviews, particularly for Steve Carell's portrayal of paranoid millionaire du Pont. Bennett's previous films, "Capote" and "Moneyball," have also been critically acclaimed. Miller talks to Marty about "Foxcatcher" and his filmmaking. We'll also hear from NANCY SCHULTZ, the widow of Dave Schultz. Marty spoke with them earlier this month.

We don't care about the Danville PD. This is about Pleasanton.

I applaud your ability to speak your mind. You're right to point out that there was a very serious change to superheroes and the way they dealt with problems post- WW II and comics code. However, I'm confused on how this is all a part of the leftist/socialist philosophy. Most of these changes came about during the Administration of Dwight D. Eisenhower who leaned right. The Comics Code Authority was created in response to Seduction of the Innocent and the US Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency which was created by a Republican Senator (again right-wing politics). The context for all this was McCarthyism and the Red Scare which was about the fear of Communism and Socialism which created the climate that allowed for the restrictions on the comics industry. This is all from American right-wing politics and has little to do with liberalism and socialism. In fact the 1950's arguably was one of the most right-wing decades in American history.
I'll agree that me and my fellow leftists have embraced the ideals of pacifism and have stood against things like the death penalty. I'd like to think this comes more from a place of wanting to see the best in humanity and believing in redemption along with the idea that the law can make mistakes more than being part of a totalitarian regime to destroy the individual and justice.
Again, I'm impressed by your ability to speak your mind and I believe you're obviously intelligent. I just don't buy the idea that this is part of socialist agenda.

fuckking awsome
awwsspmm its rocking
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Got lyrics?
I've listened to quite a few of your songs and they all sound equally great. The only thing I'm missing is vocals. It doesn't have to be a long intricate lyric exercise, just a little something to grab on to and sing along with.
Also, I like the ska part you made, it contrasts nicely with the rest of the song.
Keep up the great work!
Greetings from Sweden
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is just, wow. No words can describe it. I felt it man.
Lead and rhythm were played and synced great, and they flow perfectly.
The effects like the bells, or harmonics, or whatever those sounds are, are awesome and add a nice spice to the song.
The drums sound great and I LOVE what you did with the snare.
The fills are brilliant too.
I love that main build and the beautiful Ska/Reggae sounding chorus. Then after that chorus you did the exact opposite with a brutal, heavy, chunky breakdown with awesome riffing. But you made it flow and come together so amazingly.
Sound is amazing, guitar is amazing, drums are amazing, song is amazing. You sir, are fucking amazing and have totally blown my mind!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
God, this remind's me of Ishiwatari's work.
I'm serious.
Look up a couple of songs by Daisuke Ishiwatari.
He's like my favorite composer ever, so this review is basically the highest compliment that I give to anyone music wise.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Now, you get this a lot I'm sure, but I'm a musician too, and I really admire the song composition. Its unique and I like that. Also the recording quality, while its not studio sounding, I don't care, it is clear enough and the song itself is enough to want to listen to the whole song over and over.
Although, while the ending sounds great I feel it is repetitive and I lose the interest I had at the very beginning
Just some constructive criticism dude, hope you read this....

What an absurd waste of funds.

What would it cost to tear down and rebuild? I bet it would be cheaper. Oh, silly me, I am thinking in the real work, not the government world.
$125,000 a year for maintainace. What does that buy?
