A winter day in complete solitude, an abandoned house, a gloomy room, a soul without a body, a body without a soul…Forgotten Tomb are all this in their first, desperate effort, "Songs To Leave". The negativity in this effigy of the inner depression has no comparison. The pure desperation that lies in these tracks can only lead to a suicide in the most obscure room of your home.
Created in 1999, after a Mini CD of fast black metal, Forgotten Tomb conceived an album that can be easily considered one of the top ones in this field. The Forgotten Tomb of 2002 were pure pain, so forget about the clean vocals and the not too depressive mood of Negative Megalomania album. Five songs only to make darkness descend even over the most shiny place…there's no way out like said in "No Way Out" song.
The drums in their slow agony are like the pulse of a dying heart, destroyed by sadness, desolation, and life. The guitars draw landscapes of pure depression in their play between lead parts and arpeggios. The agony of "Enthroned By Winter" is superb, an incredible track especially during the arpeggios, always "deep", intense and internally devastating. The intelligent use of some (few) keyboards makes the sound even colder. They are just utilized as a "base" during the arpeggios but they always give a really particular touch.
Surely the most important influences for Herr Morbid are Burzum, Manes, Strid and Katatonia. An important example for anyone who wants to follow the path, as musician or not, of the true depressive dark/black metal. There's no happiness in this journey that so often can lead you to a suicide or to the self mutilation.
The few lights you can find here are just those sterile of the neon in a dirty, black subway. They are the light of the hope of a soul that tries to not abandon a tired body, let down by an empty and dark life. Herr Morbid understands it very well and transforms it in excellent music. A title like "Disheartenment" is an example of what I said: the screams are the main symbol of the internal sickness that leaves you completely empty.
A masterpiece of sickness in its purest form. Listen to it and prepared to be annihilated by the beautiful depression.
Songs To Leave ... Out of the collection, perhaps. I'm not a great fan of this full-length record. It represents the only downfall in a glittering career for Forgotten Tomb. That doesn't mean to say it's terrible to the point where listeners would be seen vomiting at the thought of listening to Songs To Leave. However, it's by no means fantastic.
There are far too many elements to the music which are lacking or stuttering behind some of the bands other works. The vocals have hit an all time low for me. The indecipherable rasping sound isn't particularly good. In actual fact it's one of the more mediocre showings any black metal vocalist has produced in recent years and for a band of this calibre, they really should be better. I for one am glad when it comes to the introduction of the clean vocals. They add spice, variation and give Forgotten Tomb a whole new lease of life. They weren't very popular to begin with, but I can see them growing on people in the not so distant future.
I do struggle to see the appeal of these vocals. Especially as they detract from the music greatly. They're very restrictive. I don't see them as being particularly emotive and to be honest, neither is the music itself. It creates an odd image of itself. The guitars seem to be undecided over whether to create a collage of depressing and desolate riffs, or whether to add new impetus to the overall sound. At points, the guitars sound rather upbeat in terms of tones, which doesn't suit the style of vocals at all. Then again, i'm not entirely sure what style of music would suit the vocals. They're lacklustre.
Songs To Leave offers a vast array of different riffs and leads, but they're not impressive. A lack of innovation is costly here. Forgotten Tomb have for once failed to live up to the high expectations. There is only one case in which I can safely say I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this full-length and that would be on the track, 'Disheartenment'. Otherwise, Forgotten Tomb's mid to fast paced music is unappealing and holes have begun to show in their performance. That's not to say that there aren't good sections because there are, as aforementioned.
Some neat play pokes it's head every now and then, but it's few and far between. The uninspiring percussion sections don't go down well either. 'Disheartenment' is the only time when depression truly sets in and Forgotten Tomb finally let loose. The riffs ebb and flow nicely culminating in a delightful ambient piece of music. Again, these parts are few and far between. Disappointing.
I think Forgotten Tomb is the depressive black metal band by choice. Screw all those other half-assed bands who think they're 'depressive' or 'suicidal' because they can't record for shit, Forgotten Tomb can do something clean and not too raw and still create the most negative music ever. I discovered this band in 2004 when Love's Burial Ground was released, which was critically acclaimed that year for its depressive sound. This is their first full-length and considered by many to be their magnum opus (although their other albums are also excellent and I have yet to hear 'Negative Megalomania'). Unlike a lot of bands in the genre, the production here is surprisingly clean, but don't get me wrong: it's heavy. The guitar tone is somewhat reminiscent of (or maybe inspired?) bands like Beatrik and Nortt (although Nortt has a completely unique and harsh sound, I won't deny that). One may think the Forgotten Tomb recipe for making a depressive song lies in being repetitive and creating trance-like atmosphere, but it's the complete opposite. The first track, for instance, doesn't really drag on itself and doesn't feel repetitive at all. The clean guitar tone in the intro instantly creates an incredibly solitary and obscure tone. This atmosphere is further improved near the 2 minutes, where the modified (to good effect) vocals kick in. Now i'm no master of production, but it's something similar to Sun of the Sleepless' work on their split with nachtmahr (more specifically on the song Spring '99). The rest of the song continues in a rather slow fashion, occasionally switching to clean guitar. A good comparison for this band would be Shining (more specifically on the excellent 'The Eerie Cold'), minus the accoustic and more atmopsheric parts. What fascinates me the most about this album is how it manages to be extremely negative but still throw in a couple of melodic/speedy riffs here and there. Production is immaculate, more specifically on the clean guitar passages. An excellent album overall, which any fan of so-called "depressive black metal" should own. This is the real deal.
Forgotten Tomb are by far one the best bands in the vain of depressive metal. Their unique blend of doom and black, while maintaining strong melodic elements is only equaled by Katatonia's early work.
The production on this album is perfect, the rythme guitars drone in the background letting the melodic leads be heard clearly. The drums are sharp and very tight.
The vocal work on this album is something along the lines of Burzum's first few albums, only slightly more controled and understandable.
The album opens off with "Entombed by Winter", the darkest track on the album. The vocals start off earbleedingly distorted, and work their way to fever pitch.
The songs then progress in a melodic direction through "Solitude Ways", which has a very Burzumite rythemic feel, and onto the yet more melodic but none the less depressive "Steal my Corpse". Now to the shortest track of the album "No Way Out" Some great lead work flows very well, but all other songs on this album or if not within the genre bow down to the mighty final track of this album. A 12:43 long epic of melancholy "Disheartenment". All the best elements from the other songs are included in this final track, truely one of the greast doom songs ever written.
Overall, if you are into doom or black-metal, with talent, melody and melancholy get this album. Ingnore the latter work of this band, which is rather uselessly grim and out done by the likes of Shining and Silencer.
Forgotten Tomb is undoubtedly one of the coolest bands I have heard in a long time. It is so exciting to see that the true spirit of doom and black are kept alive in this blistering band. "Songs to Leave" are a collection of melancholic and sorrowful tunes that drag you deep into hell. The first track is "Entombed by Winter" and it is a brilliant opener. It starts slow; creepy noises are heard in the background, some kind of synthesizing effect that repeats itself repeatedly throughout the song. The voice in this particular track sounds a lot like Burzum (think "Dunkelheit" from Filosofem).
The second track is "Solitude Ways", melodic, very dark and has a nice change of tempo in the middle. The song has a slow pace but is full of crunching guitar riffs, the voice is a lit cleaner and sounds less distorted then in the first track. "Steal my Corpse" departs from the slower paced before mentioned tracks, it starts out with a riff that evokes pure sadness and then breaks into an all out black metal band, lightning speed drumming, haunting screams, and blazing guitars, one of the fastest songs in the album, it will appeal to old school black metal fans, the over all riffs remind me of Mayhem.
The last two tracks are the gems of this release. "No Way Out" has an awesome guitar melody that is amazingly catchy, the double bass throughout the song add an amazing texture. Finally the song that stands out above the rest, " Disheartenment" is something that sounds straight out of the October Tide album "Rain without End" album. Sorrowful guitars wail as the song unfolds and in my humble opinion, this song really evokes melancholy and heartbreak, the vocals bleed agony and add to the dramatic over all sound of the song.
This band is one of the best things that has happened to Heavy Metal, they musicianship is flawless, the songs are perfectly constructed and there is no single weak spot here, if you are into dark metal and dark lyrics you will love this band and this release.

Tales from Haunted
New England:
Gravestone CSI -
Causes of Death
Found on
October 17
It is said that there are a thousand
ways to die, but our ancestors seem
to have challenged that number...
Al and Betsy McKee of the Association

Cause of death recorded on gravestones
is fairly rare, but the McKees have found
and photographed hundreds of
examples -- from dramatic accidents to heartbreaking tragedies
Why did some carvers record the cause
of death on a gravestone? Was it
meant to serve as a cautionary tale
or was it just the 18th century version
of People magazine headlines?

To give the kitchen area just that touch of Halloween theme, you might consider fabricating your own chandelier or even lampshades into witches hats. I will not lie to you, it's hard to get these perfect and there is no way to provide a template but I'll do my best below to outline what I did to make them.
A couple of tips I'll pass along will keep your home safe. I would not use tissue paper. Light bulbs can get hot and I would be worried about a fire. Never take your lamp shade off! It will also protect the hat from getting too hot. Take them off after the party. I'm just a safety girl. I made ours out of black paper and yes, most witches hats are black, but I think you could use all kinds of scrapbooking paper or orange craft or scrapbook paper to make these.
First you'll want to make a template. Take any kind of paper for this. On the outside wrap and tape the template paper around your chandelier shade making it a bit loose. Draw a line around the bottom and the top of the shade and cut out. You'll want to cut extra off down the center making sure to leave about 1/2″ to 1″ of paper to lap over. Next you'll make the rim. Set your chandelier shade on the template paper and draw a circle around it on the outside of the shade. Pick the shade up. You'll now draw two additional circles. One should be 3/4″ on the inside of the original circle and one 2″ on the outside of the original circle. Cut it out using your second two circles as your lines to cut. The next step is to cut slits from the inner circle towards the center circle allowing you to push up the paper at a 90 degree angle. Or another way to say it is to make cuts on the inside of the template perpendicular to the circle.
It's time to try one……ONE. Get it down and then make more. Cut out your paper. Glue the sides of top part of the hat. Fold up the flaps on the hat rim and glue to the main part of the hat on the inside. Slip it over your chandelier shade and test it! If all is good….go to town and have fun with this idea from CreativePartyBlog.com.

Home News Local News TIGER HI-LITES, TV WIN HONORS
By Dick Mason
Observer Staff Writer
Journalism students from La Grande High School burned brightly recently in Arizona's Valley of the Sun.
La Grande High School journalism students won five national awards in Phoenix, Ariz., at the annual conference of the Journalism Education Association and National Scholastic Press Association.
Students with Tiger Hi-Lites, the LHS newspaper, won three awards. Students with Tiger Television, the school's television system, won two honors.
The Tiger Hi-Lites staff placed 10th in the Best of Show competition for newspapers by the National Scholastic Press Association. This marks the second year in a row that Tiger Hi-Lites has placed in the top 10 in the NSPA's Best of Show competition. The newspaper placed sixth in 2001.
Newspapers entered in the Best of Show category are evaluated on their overall quality and the quality of layout, design, writing and photography.
In this year's Best of Show competition, Tiger Hi-Lites was entered in the category for high school newspapers with eight pages. LHS, which has about 800 students, was one of the smallest schools entered in this category. .
Jacob Berado is the editor-in-chief of Tiger Hi-Lites. Kristen Steck is the managing editor.
"This shows that their (the Tiger Hi-Lites staff) work can compete on a national level with the work of other high school journalists,'' said journalism and English teacher Bud Duncan, who has been Hi-Lites' adviser for nine years.
Duncan emphasized that Tiger Hi-Lites is produced exclusively by students. He said that their product reflects a great deal of skill, dedication and intelligence.
Junior Amanda Schuft, a Tiger Television producer and anchor, was the top LHS individual performer at the conference. Schuft received a Superior award for her work in the JEA broadcast news writing competition. Superior is the highest award one can receive in a category. Schuft was the only student to earn a superior rating in her category.
Schuft is only the third LHS student, and the first junior, to win a superior award since 1994.
Three other LHS students won awards at this year's conference:
Chris Potter, the editorial page editor for Tiger Hi-Lites. Potter won an Excellent award for an editorial he wrote at the conference.
Senior Johan Soderlund, a Tiger Television staff member, took Honorable Mention in the videography contest. In videography entrants had to tape a video in a limited amount of time.
Jake Berado, received an honorable mention in newspaper layout.
In the individual events students were judged on how they performed after being given an assignment and given two hours to complete it.
Students were compared against a standard, not how they did against one another. If judges believed that nobody met set standards no awards were given.
About 3,400 students from 177 high schools attended the conference. About 1,600 of the students competed in events. The schools range in size from several hundred students to at least 5,000.

Brendan Dooling Trivia – 5 things you don't know about Walt Reynolds on The Carrie Diaries| December 28, 2012 at 10:06 PM EST
Brendan Dooling is a relative newcomer who'll be playing Walt Reynolds on The CW's The Carrie Diaries. We couldn't mine too much information on him, but we did manage to find five facts worth knowing about him. Check them out!
It's All in a Name
His nickname is "Bren" and his Twitter is "Buhdools." This is basic information, but still important to know down the line.
Brendan loves sports. He's especially a fan of the Knicks, and Nets.
Traveling Days
In summer 2012, he took a trip to Peru and saw Machu Picchu.
First Time
He joined Twitter in June of 2012, and he was a bit nervous. He tweeted, "Here it is! The first of… many? #firsttweet #dread"
Werk It
His first day on set as Walt was October 15, and it was just for one scene.

Would you feel rejected if ...
You have kissed a long time friend on the neck on 3 separate occasions but still you are not sure if she is interested ? Would you just move on , and resume friendship as normal?
What's Your Opinion?
What Guys Said 1
Well it depends on what type of a person she is and how she views things.Kissing on the neck is clearly an indication of sexuality if nothing else.But if I have kissed her on the neck THRICE, (1) I'd know that she sure doesn't have a problem doing it with me (2) If she's a shy and introverted person then I'd know she 'may' not be interested but I'm probably taking advantage of herThat's what it is according to me unless I've misunderstood something in the question

Concha Excitation as a Means of Introducing Individual Cues for Spatial Hearing
Non-individualized HRTFs (Head Related Transfer Functions) are known to cause significant front-back and elevation confusions when used for 3D sound systems. Additionally, headphones tend to induce in-head localization and back perceptual bias. We propose the method of concha excitation as a means of introducing individual cues that may overcome some of these difficulties. A prototype headphone was designed and tested.

amazing and informative
"No" demuestra el poder de los medios de comunicación para efectuar cambios en la política de un país. Me pareció fascinante ver cómo una campaña publicitaria logra transformar el "no", una palabra que de por sí es negativa, en algo positivo.
not the best film BUT a great documentary. will hold your interest if you have a cue about recent history. should be shown in high school history classes, , and discussed.
Interesting bit of history.
Well done.
Gael Garcia Bernal is a good actor. It's fascinating to watch him. He played a leading role in Love's a Bitch (Amores Perros), Bad Education (directed by Pedro Almodovar) and more.
A 'real-feel' for the emotional reality and political context of a dictatorship,.. but with a reassuring and up-lifting outcome. Chile really must have something working for it !
Good movie - thoughtful and easy to follow.
Interestingly shot and paced and fascinating content as well.
As a bit of a political junkie, I loved it. Historians and those involved in political/social movements could well appreciate this as well. I really appreciated the Q&A section with the lead actor - which was in English. The film is in Spanish, so for those who aren't 100% fluent in Spanish, there are subtitles (which were easy to read).
A bit too long but an interesting film concerning the advertising campaign to oust a dictator

Naval Criminal Investigative Service:
Fraud Interview Policies Similar to Other Federal Law Enforcement Agencies
NSIAD-97-117: Published: Apr 7, 1997. Publicly Released: Apr 7, 1997.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-5140
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed the Naval Criminal and Investigative Service's (NCIS) policies and practices regarding agent interviews of suspects and witnesses during procurement fraud investigations, focusing on: (1) NCIS's policies on interviewing, including agent conduct and demeanor and the carrying and display of weapons; (2) controls to deter inappropriate conduct by agents; and (3) the desirability and feasibility of audio- or videotaping interviews and making the recording or transcription available to the person interviewed.
GAO noted that: (1) according to federal law enforcement experts, NCIS interview policies are in accordance with generally accepted federal law enforcement standards and applicable laws; (2) specifically, NCIS interview policies prohibit the indiscriminate display of weapons or the use of threats, promises, inducements, or physical or mental abuse by agents attempting to influence an individual during interviews; (3) NCIS has established controls to deter, detect, and deal with agent misconduct; (4) NCIS agents are trained in interview policies at their initial training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center and through in-house and contractor training; (5) other controls include periodic inspections of NCIS field offices, internal investigations of alleged agent misconduct, oversight of cases and allegations of agent misconduct by the Department of Defense (DOD) Inspector General, and the involvement of the U.S. Attorney's offices in grand jury investigations and prosecutions; (6) furthermore, judicial review of evidence presented also acts as a deterrent to inappropriate agent conduct since inappropriate or illegal behavior may result in the evidence obtained not being admissible in court; (7) the DOD Inspector General and NCIS could identify only six cases since January 1989 in which misconduct was substantiated, and none of those cases involved procurement fraud investigations; (8) NCIS policies do not prohibit audio- or videotaping of interviews or distributing the written or taped results to the interviewee; (9) the NCIS does not routinely tape interviews; (10) officials from NCIS, the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and selected Assistant U.S. Attorneys did not support the idea of routinely taping interviews; (11) NCIS considers routine taping of interviews to be unjustified, given the equipment and transcription costs and the large volume of interviews associated with procurement fraud investigations; (12) DOD and Department of Justice officials noted that routine audio- or videotaping would not improve the quality of the investigation or court proceedings; and (13) the DOD advisory board agreed that the routine taping of interviews was unnecessary, given the lack of evidence supporting a widespread abuse of subjects' rights by agents from military criminal investigative organizations.

It seems as though there may just be a positive side to those unwelcome GPS-based vehicle tracking devices... especially if you are a teenager. Shaun Malone, a 17-year-old California resident, was cited by radar-yielding authorities for driving 62 mph in a 45 mph zone in 2007. Faced with a $194 fine (and some inflating insurance premiums), Shaun's parents fought back arguing their son's vehicle was equipped with a satellite-based tracking device that monitored Shaun's speed – and it showed he was doing 45 mph when he was stopped.
While they can be affected by poor reception or noise in the radio signal, GPS-based speedometers are generally considered the benchmark for measuring velocity. On the other hand, radar measurements are also considered very accurate, as long as the human at the other end of the device is correctly trained and is tracking the proper vehicle. At stake is the credibility of radar. As Doppler-based speed enforcement has become a primary source of revenue for law enforcement agencies nationwide, police don't want their technology challenged. With that in mind, the local Petaluma police have spent a reported $15,000 on the trial. The case is to be decided in the coming weeks.

text: In discussing the problem of arrows "bouncing back" and possibly causing damage through our helm grills, my brother said he had seen devices to reduce bounce back which consisted of a movable load which slid along the axis of the device. When the device hit and began to rebound, the load was still moving forward and impacted with the head absorbing most of the energy. In our situation, that might be a blunt that was filled partly with sand or a liquid. Or it might be a ring that slid along the shaft. Is this practical? Clearly it does not prevent deflections from causing trouble, but it may help "bounce back" situations.

text: One environmentally friendly way is to burn them with a torch. This usually fries the roots as well, and would work well on a gravel path where there is nothing combustible (other than the weeds). Here's a link to a tool http://www.amleo.com/weed-dragon%26reg%3b-100%2c000-btu-torch-kit/p/T223/ though it is rather expensive. Another effective and efficient method is to take a sharp hoe and slice the seeds at their roots. A lot of annual weeds this year went to flower and seed early due to the precocious spring, and this mild winter offered a great opportunity to tackle things like bittercress, henbit and chickweed early.

BEST SMOOTHIELatin America CafeteriaVarious locations in Miami-Dade County What's not to like about a smoothie? For one thing the word itself, which to pronounce in public is almost as embarrassing as admitting to being a "foodie" or "Trekkie." Then there's the tendency of smoothie joints (do you really want to be seen entering a "smoothie joint"?) to throw incongruous ingredients together into the blender: Peanut butter, tofu, and spinach may be healthful, but they don't make for a particularly attractive beverage. Anyway, now you know what's not to like about a smoothie. What there is to like about it is that it can be refreshing, salubrious, and, on a hot afternoon, heavenly. At Latin America Cafeteria the shakes are called by their older, Cuban name, batidos -- an improvement right off the bat. Try the frothy foursome of vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and mamey; it's so deliriously delicious you'll end up ordering it over and over again.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
When shooting video, directors of photography often spend a long time getting the color temperature correct. They want the colors to look accurate, but a lot of times, when we get footage to play with, it is not accurate and we need to correct it. This is referred to as adjusting the White Balance. The White Balance actually refers to the color of the footage here. As we could see, there is a kind of like an orangish tint to everything. I can't really put my finger on why this is, but it just does look too warm to me. So what we can do is we can go to the Adjust category inside the Video Effects, and there are several color correction effects here.
There is a several in Color Correction and Image Control as well. They're kind of spread all over the place, which is a little confusing. So we're going to take this chapter and look at some of these color adjustment tools, because really, as far as the look of your video is concerned, these color adjustment effects could really make a huge difference. So these auto effects actually work very well for correcting simple problems instantly. So all you've to do is just drag and drop, let's say, Auto Color onto a clip and it's improved a little bit. I'm not sure that really did the trick enough. We can click this Effects icon to see the before and the after.
So there is a little bit of difference. If you look at these olives right here, you can see that before, they're much more a yellow orangish and then, as we click this, that goes away. We could also see some difference in the jeans. I'm just going to go ahead and click Auto Color and delete it. Auto Levels is actually the effect that's going to help me out most here. I think I'm going to drag and drop this onto my clip, and there we go. This looks like a much more realistic representation of what those olives probably look like. If you want to, you could open up Auto Levels and adjust some of the settings.
If it's a little bit too strong, you can increase the Blend With Original value. You'll see this Blend with Original property in many effects. Basically, what that is it's kind of like a reverse Opacity slider for the effect itself. If it's at 0, then we're just seeing the effect. But if we take it up to 100, then we're seeing the original footage. So we can click and drag until we find a good balance that we like with this effect. I actually kind of like the way that Auto Levels corrected this. It looks pretty good to me now.
So if you feel that your footage has a tint in one direction, then you can go ahead and use one of these Auto effects to correct that.

Photos and Description of this 2 bedroom holiday cottage in Sandgate - Seagull Cottage
Victorian Coastguard cottage, direct beach access, sea views, sleeps 4, Sandgate
Seagull cottage has been comfortably furnished to provide a second home for us but we enjoy sharing this delightful property. The cottage's main attraction is the proximity to the sea. Few cottages can offer a beach as the garden! There is shingle beach, swimming and water sports are a highlight. For those who enjoy land-based activity the high street has a bike hire shop and the promenade is a jogger or walkers delight. The Saga building also has a large play park for children. Alternatively just lay back in the deck hairs in the sun trap patio. There is a small convenience shop in the high street but large supermarkets are available in Folkestone although Hythe offers a much more relaxed shopping opportunity and a Waitrose.
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets considered

The city is broke and struggling with a pension crisis. So what do our aldermen do about it? Talk about raising the legal age for smoking to 21.

Condemn terror forcefully
Kudos to Steve Huntley on his Wednesday column. Burying our heads in the sand will not make "West-bashing" go away. It is time for Muslim clerics, Middle East leaders and our own home-grown liberals to stand up against the use of a religion and a God (Allah) as a reason to kill and maim. They must forcefully condemn groups and people who spew and sanction these types of beliefs.
They can no longer ignore the fact that Islam is being used out of context as a tool to wreak havoc and destruction around the world.
Steve Babyk, Humboldt Park
Fight guns, not cigarettes
If the Chicago City Council is truly concerned about safeguarding the health of young people under the age of 21 by prohibiting them from buying cigarettes, they may want to consider an even better course of action in this matter.
Young people in Chicago are dying at an alarming rate from gun violence, not cigarettes. Gun violence is usually the result of gang wars and drug wars.
It's time to explore a way to prohibit the existence of gangs and drugs in Chicago. This is not an easy task, and undoubtedly will take a lot of time, effort and energy. Stop wasting time on issues that are best controlled by parents and families.

Obama makes Bush look good
Neil Steinberg wonders what happened to cause President George W. Bush's favorable rating to go to 47 percent from just 33 percent. It's obvious to me that the more we see of what President Barack Obama does, the more we appreciate Bush. Amen?

Support for Poison Center
I would like to extend my deepest thanks to the 60 Illinois General Assembly members, including the 36 members from Cook County, for honoring the Illinois Poison Center's 60th anniversary by supporting funding for our state's only poison center. The IPC, the nation's oldest poison center, handled nearly 82,000 poison-related cases from throughout Illinois in 2012 alone — nearly 49 percent of them involving children age 5 and under. In 2012, the IPC received more than 25,000 calls from Cook County alone.
The IPC serves as a first responder for Illinoisans facing poisoning emergencies. The pharmacists, nurses, doctors and poison experts who staff the IPC provide timely poison prevention and treatment services for our children, seniors and families through a free, confidential hotline.
Funding for the IPC not only protects and saves lives, but it is also a wise and important investment. The IPC receives approximately $1.3 million in state funding each year and its work saves Illinois taxpayers more than $50 million annually unnecessary medical costs and 35,000 unnecessary trips to an emergency department each year. It is estimated that for every $1 invested in the IPC, there is a $13 savings in reduced health care and lost productivity costs.
Dr. Michael Wahl, medical director,

He also described a consortium of 12 U.S. universities (from the Big-12 athletics conference), including Texas, that have formed a virtual Center for Economic Development, Innovation, and Commercialization. The objective is to jointly create tech transfer, research, and share equipment and other resources. "It's the paradigm of the future," he said, "having universities collaborate." The initial pattern for the Center was an athletic conference whose schools would "compete on the football field on Saturday, but collaborate the other six days of the week. The model is designed to break down barriers, structurally change relationships, and enhance communications.
The Emerging Technology Fund with its small size and flexibility has proved to be an effective vehicle for commercialization. While the governor, lieutenant governor, and the speaker of the House approve the work of the 17-member advisory committee that evaluates potential candidates, there are no fund managers and only a small staff within the governor's office to run the program. Each participating region operates a Regional Center for Innovation and Commercialization (RCIC).
The ETF has three sections. $100 million goes to Commercialization Investments, for which the ETF has already reviewed more than 331 applications. Of these, 22 projects at 7 RCICs received $27.5 million.
The second activity is the $50 million Research Matching Grants, intended for industry consortia or single companies who already have some funding from the federal government or other sources. Of 53 requests, 14 projects were approved for $22 million in funding.
Third are the Research Superiority Grants, a fund of $50 million to "discover the best researchers we can find in the country or the world and bring them to Texas." This fund has brought researchers to Texas Tech University, the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, and other laboratories.
Mr. Powers concluded with the news that Governor Perry would announce the following week that $10 million of the Research Superiority Fund would go to outstanding researchers in nanotechnology. He then introduced Dr. Goodall, with whom he works on the Texas Technology Initiative.

It's often hard to get down in the corners just using a regular paper towel or cloth. That's where the Windshield Wonder comes into play.
Basically it's just a microfiber cloth that hooks on to the end of a long apparatus that pivots so you can get down into those corners of your windshield.
It comes with a spray bottle, but you can use Windex or a glass cleaner. They say it will work with regular tap water, too. It's pretty easy to get down into those tights spots.
With the regular tap water, it does seem to be taking the film off the inside of the windshield. You don't even need to get out of the driver's seat.
It did a real nice job, and I didn't even use any Windex.
The Windshield Wonder, I think, would be a handy tool, not just for the windshield but also the side windows in the vehicle. The Windshield Wonder did a wonderful job on my sunroof, as well.
I was pretty impressed with the Windshield Wonder. It did a great job on the windshield, sunroof and the side windows. If you have some higher windows in your house this would be a great tool.
So, I'm going to give the Windshield Wonder a thumbs up.
The manufacturer also says the Windshield Wonder is great for clearing fogged-up windows on those cold mornings.
I paid $10 for mine at Bed, Bath and Beyond. They are in a lot of stores and all over the internet.

Austria, 2007 (MIFF 2007, Jaguar International Panorama)
Director: Antonin Svoboda
"One year from now, we should meet here again, because we have been through quite something together."An unlikely trio of men gets closer and more confined than they ever imagined when their car is run off the road and into a ravine. It begins with Rafael and his brother-in-law heading to the opening of a wine store and picking up a stranded performer on the way. They find themselves stuck in each other's company when the car becomes wedged between two trees, trapping them all inside.Hilariously incongruous yet somehow totally logical, Forever Never Anywhere illustrates what happens when men are forced to exchange unwanted intimacies, teetering between friendship, survival and total irritation. "Clever ideas and some genuinely funny moments help pass the time." - Variety

How to Disable a Stolen Mobile Phone
Lost your phone? Want to disable it before someone else uses it? This article shows you both how to lock it and how to try and recover it.
1If you have set up a remote locking service, send a text to the number provided. This should lock your phone and prevent it from being used, unless you unlock it by sending another text. Applications such as this are widely available for Symbian OS and iOS.Ad
2Contact your network and ask them to disable your SIM. Even if you have already disabled your phone through a remote locking service, the SIM can still be used in another phone, so you want to make sure to cut that off as well.
3Report your lost phone to the police. That way, if your phone is recovered, it may be returned to you. Alternately, if you don't want to get the police involved, go back to the place where your phone was stolen and ask management to keep an eye on the lost and found—maybe the thief will feel guilty and return it there.
4In the future, mark all your belongings with a UV pen, and keep a track of IMEI numbers. This will allow your items to be tracked by the police, and it does not leave any visible marks on your device.Ad
We could really use your help!

Every antivirus (AV) program has its weaknesses, but running more than one on your computer simultaneously will almost certainly cause system meltdown. Do you have a file or program that you think is safe, but still makes you nervous? Perhaps your current AV skips a particular file or scans it and produces a cryptic message?
VirusTotal eases any jitters. Upload any file, up to 10 megabytes in size, and scanned by 29 AV programs, including most market leaders. Files are scanned sequentially; each program's test results are visible on completion. The process usually takes less than 15 minutes. Aside form Trojans, worms, and key loggers, most programs also scan for spyware. It's this month's Site to See.

travel and food finds in and around Bologna
Evocative and brimming with history, Monteveglio is a medieval village sitting – literally - on top of a hill, overlooking the valley of Samoggia, the Bolognese Apennines and the Po Valley, an easy 35-minute drive from Bologna.
It makes for a perfect afternoon trip followed by dinner at the local trattoria (romantic idea, too!).
Monteveglio and the surrounding territory had a prominent role in the 11th century, at the height of the sometimes bloody disputes between the Church and the Empire over control of the territory, when a charismatic woman, Matilde di Canossa, reigned over these lands and fought on the side of Pope Gregory VII against Emperor Henry IV – winning.
The entrance to the village is marked by an arched gateway and a tower, the remains of the old castle dating back to the 11th century; they are surmounted by a walkway featuring a nice view of the surrounding hills. Inside the tower is the visitor center with information on the history of the area and the surrounding regional park (open on Sundays and holidays, from April to November, 3 pm to 7 pm).
A cobblestone street lined by old stone houses cuts across the village, ending at the Abbazia, the beautiful abbey rebuilt on 5th-century Roman ruins in 1092 by Matilde di Canossa. The church, small and simple yet evocative, features an apse, a crypt and a presbyterium, located 3 meters above the church level with an altar and a sculpture of Christ crucified. Adjacent to the church is the 15th-century cloister; the rest of a second one looks out over the valley. (Reservations are necessary to visit the cloister; contact the community of Fratelli di San Francesco – St. Francis' Brothers – the religious order now living there).
Trattoria del Borgo, on the main street in Monteveglio. Excellent local cuisine with a twist and regional wines, like the splendid Pignoletto. The outside terrace is especially nice – and oh-so-romantic - on a warm, breezy summer night.
Festa d'Autunno (Fall Festival): traditional caldarroste (roasted chestnuts) typical of this time of the year and the good wine of the Bolognese hills are the main draw of this festival, along with folkloristic music and representations of the old farmers' trades. Held the second weekend in October.
Monteveglio is part of the Parco Regionale dell'Abbazia di Monteveglio, where you can hike, bike, discover the local wildlife and the old, quiet villages that dot the area, such as Montebudello and Oliveto.
How to get there
From Bologna's tangenziale, take the state road 569 "Bazzanese" and follow signs for Crespellano/Bazzano/Vignola; when you reach Muffa, turn left for Monteveglio and follow signs for Parco Regionale Abbazia. There are two parts to Monteveglio: the modern part is at the bottom of the hill; to get to the old part, follow signs for Abbazia, driving up the hill until you reach the entrance of the village, clearly marked by the tower.

San Leo: Religion and Wizardry in the Heart of Romagna
Hi Silvia,
Monteveglio as you described sounds good. I think it worths while a visit. In the next future I will visit this nice place since I am interested to old history. Thanks a lot.
Hi Silvia,
I know the place and I have to say that your article describes very well the area around Monteveglio and the Abbazia. It's a peaceful small village and …yes…it really worths a visit with a romantic dinner…
Maria Cristina
I think you are making a very beautifull work.
I would like to be in every side you describe .
I would like to go and look and eat and drink and sleep
can we leave tomorrow?
Ciao, Silvia! This is a lovely and very accurate depiction of the Abbazia (couldn't agree more about the romantic dinner on the terrace). Peaceful is such a wonderful description. I am marrying a Bologna native (though we live in the U.S.) at the abbey in May, also where he proposed last Spring…it's like a dream! We will be including your link on our wedding website for our guests to explore. Thanks so much for all of the information!

Thailand begins coloring petrol and diesel
One of the major problems with motorized transport across Asia is that mass fraud takes place with petrol retailing. Octane-91 petrol is sold as Octane-95, Diesel B5 is sold as diesel B2 and to a much greater extent, cocktails are brewed and sold to increase profits for the retailer, with alcohol mixes very common. The mixing not only cheats the motorist but often has dire consequences for the motors using the fuel, causing massive destruction that's difficult to trace. The Thai Government is the first to take action to overcome the problem by introducing colored petrols. From February 1, octane-91 petrol will become yellow, octane-95 petrol will be blue, and diesel B5 will be red. Read More
Gel sensors to detect bomb chemicals and illegal drugs in seconds
Sensors that quickly detect chemicals used to make bombs are being developed by scientists at Queen's University, Belfast. The devices will use special gel pads to "swipe" a person or crime scene to gather a sample which is then analyzed by a scanning instrument that can detect the presence of chemicals within seconds, much quicker than current analysis methods. This will allow better, faster decisions to be made in response to terrorist threats. The team is also working on devices that detect illegal drugs and will hopefully be deployed by police as roadside drug "breathalyzers". Read More
Digital drink tampering detector
One of the dangers of drinking in unfamiliar territory can be the quality of liquor on offer. Rotgut, the slang term for an inferior alcoholic concoction, can be dangerous to your health, not just your wallet. How big an issue being served rotgut actually is seems to depend as much on where in the world you find yourself as which nightclub or party you're at. Rotgutonix is a new take-anywhere prototype device that analyzes your chosen beverage and lets you know if it's genuine or a nasty pretender. Read More
Increased risk of injury even after one glass of alcohol
The cost to society of physical injury related to alcohol consumption is immense – the link between severe alcohol intoxication, road accidents and violence is well established. Now new research from the Swedish Karolinska Institutet medical university indicates that most alcohol-related damage occurs after moderate consumption. While people who have drunk considerable quantities of alcohol suffer higher injury risk than people who have drunk only a little, the research shows the risk of suffering injury increases significantly after small amounts of alcohol as little as one glass.

Whisky - Demon drink becomes sound financial investment
If you could resist drinking it, you may just find that hanging on to a few bottles of fine single malt could not only make a sound investment but one which is more interesting than boring old stocks and far more reliable than wine. At Bonhams in Edinburgh, their second ever dedicated whisky auction has not only shown that there's a strong market for rare whisky, (with 95% of all lots sold) but that the big boys of the auction world are taking it seriously.

Sowine preserves wine for up to ten days
Sowine is a home wine bar that enables you to preserve your opened bottle of wine at the perfect temperature for up to ten days. It also allows you to bring your bottles of wine to the correct temperature before serving. The air-tight refrigerated storage unit has two separate compartments that are temperature-controlled to suit the type of wine you are storing. You can store a bottle of red wine and a bottle of white wine at the same time as the units are completely separate. As the storage unit is air-tight, the bottles are also protected from oxidation, therefore helping to prolong the life of your wine. Read More
February 19, 2008 We're familiar with the use of breath testing to determine blood alcohol content, but according to new research the air we exhale could reveal much more about what's happening in our bodies, and in the future, breath testing could become a regular part of visiting the doctor. The research by a team of US scientists has shown that markers for diseases such as asthma or cancer can be determined by analyzing trace molecules in the breath using laser light. Experiments using a pulsed laser aimed into a breath-filled cavity proved that gases such as ammonia, carbon monoxide, and methane could be detected revealing signposts to particular diseases being present in the patient - ammonia, for example, may indicate renal failure.

Volvo introduces voluntary Alcolocks from 2008
September 5, 2007 One in three traffic fatalities in Europe is alcohol related and around 3,000 people in the UK are killed or seriously injured each year in drink drive collisions. In an effort to help drivers make responsible choices, Volvo is the first manufacturer to launch a fully integrated, voluntary in-car breathalyzer/alcolock system called Alcoguard as an option to its 2008 range, which prevents the car from starting if the driver is over the blood alcohol limit.

The mophie Bevy – the first Illuminator-built product
May 8, 2007 Mophie today announced the US$15 Bevy, the first product to be released from the highly successful Illuminator project. The mophie Bevy is a multifunctional case for Apple's iPod Shuffle that features a bottle opener and key chain and was designed by a 17-year-old from California. The Illuminator project at MacWorld Expo transformed mophie's booth into a live community collaboration and creation lab where, over a four-day period, 30,000+ MacWorld attendees were invited to doodle a product concept that enhanced any of the newest Apple products. Concepts were voted on by MacWorld attendees at the show and on mophie.com. Finally, mophie designers and engineers took the winning concepts and developed prototypes in the booth. Read More
Discovery opens door for drugs for alcohol addiction
December 14, 2006 The connection between nicotine and alcohol has been known for some time, though the fact that alcoholism is ten times stronger among smokers than among non-smokers is not as widely known ... and it's not just because many people smoke at parties. When sober alcoholics are tempted to fall off the wagon, the same receptor in their brain is stimulated as is activated by nicotine. This has been demonstrated in a doctoral dissertation at the Sahgrenska Academy at Göteborg University in Sweden. The discovery may lead to new treatment for alcohol abuse. Read More

No existen conspiraciones contra el público mucho más feas que esta. El Guardian reveló la semana pasada que dos organizaciones secretas que trabajan para los multimillonarios estadounidenses han gastado $ 118 millones para asegurar que no se toman medidas para evitar el cambio climático causados por el hombre (1). Mientras que inflige un sufrimiento incalculable a los pueblos del mundo, sus fundadores han utilizado estas estructuras opacas para garantizar que sus identidades nunca son expuestos.

By George Monbiot,
It was the year of living dangerously. In 2012 governments turned their backs on the living planet, demonstrating that no chronic problem, however grave, will take priority over an immediate concern, however trivial. I believe there has been no worse year for the natural world in the past half century.
Three weeks before the minimum occurred, the melting of the Arctic's sea ice broke the previous record(1). Iconic remnants of the global megafauna – such as rhinos and bluefin tuna – were shoved violently towards extinction(2). Novel tree diseases raged across continents(3). Bird and insect numbers continued to plummet, coral reefs retreated, marine life dwindled. And those charged with protecting us and the world in which we live pretended that none of it was happening…. Continue reading →
"Preventing climate breakdown – the four, five or six degrees of warming now predicted for this century by green extremists like, er, the World Bank, the International Energy Agency and PriceWaterhouseCoopers (1 , 2 , 3 , ) – means confronting the oil, gas and coal industry."
The only realistic way to do this is by making further development unprofitable. This seems impossible, even if extraction were to be limited by a world agreement, scarcity would drive prices up and make evasion eminently profitable, to companies who are anyway more powerful than many nation states.
One step forward is the movement in the US for Disvestment by Companies, Universities and Local Administrations, as it becomes ever clearer that the future of the planet really is being destroyed. (See article HERE Campaign to de-Invest from Fossil Fuel Climate Criminals ) Continue reading →
note. posts on 'NH3 the CO2-Free fuel' now have their own blog HERE.. http://co2freefuelexistsnow.wordpress.com/
Fracking for gas is declinng in the US, not because of permamently poisoning the groundwater, they couldnt give a shit, but because the gas price has fallen through the floor.
Fracking for oil is the new craze, and over 20,000 wells have already been drilled.
The reserves of this 'tight oil' are gigantic, peak oil theory has been proved wrong for now, as the US is set to raise its production to 8 million barrels a day in 2 years(but they consume 19m barrels a day).
Far from declining there's enough oil available to skyroclet CO2
levela and fry us all, leaving the planet as sterile as Venus.
