It depends on how it looks on them. Some men look fine with thinning hair ....

I don't think every man who is balding would look better with a shaved head.
Best Answer
With hair, without hair, a little hair -- never made a difference to me.
Best Answer
No to comb overs. I don't mind close cut balding, kinda sexy ;) As JustPlainBarb says, not everyone look good completely shaven.
Best Answer
roots are strong..
Best Answer
Bald looks way better. The second that hairline starts receding they should just off it.

Billy Zane got it right.
Best Answer
Balding. Though some men look good without hair.

East York is a former municipality within the current city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was a semi-autonomous borough within the overall municipality of Metropolitan Toronto before East York, North York, York, Scarborough, Etobicoke and Toronto were amalgamated into the new "megacity" of Toronto in 1998. One of East York's claims to fame was that, before the amalgamation, it was Canada's only borough.
It is separated by the Don River from the former City of Toronto. Traditional East York is southeast of the river, and the neighbourhoods of Leaside, Bennington Heights and densely-populated Thorncliffe Park are northwest of the river. The heart of East York is filled with middle-class and working-class homes, with extensive high-rise developments along peripheral major streets and in Crescent Town and Thorncliffe Park.
Great place to visit regardless of the season. I've heard that the square turns into an ice rink. There are some hot dog trucks right next to the square, so grab something to munch (Pourtine is affordable and yummy) enjoy the scenery!May 22, 2014 Reply Report Abuse

ItŌĆÖs S for Stockton
Written by Staff Reports Monday, October 01, 2012 01:35 pm
|< Prev
|Next >
GALLOWAY ŌĆō New JerseyŌĆÖs ŌĆ£distinctive public collegeŌĆØ has a new means for instant recognition: the Stockton College S.
The new branding element seeks to build awareness for the college, and inspire Stockton spirit and pride, all through the creative design of a single character in the alphabet.
Currently available as a window cling sold in the Stockton College bookstore, the S will soon be offered on a magnet and in other forms.
ŌĆ£We are excited about the Stockton S which we feel is an instantly recognizable symbol of our distinctiveness,ŌĆØ President Herman J. Saatkamp said.
The S incorporates the serpentine shape of the character with a depiction of the StocktonCollege osprey mascot entwined. The design utilizes StocktonŌĆÖs official colors of black and white, incorporating the Columbia blue and gold secondary colors appearing in the StocktonCollege seal.
ŌĆ£This design was done entirely in-house, utilizing input from everyone in the graphics production department,ŌĆØ said Geoffrey Pettifer, director of marketing communications in the external affairs office. ŌĆ£The entire team was involved and the final product reflects their effort and talents.ŌĆØ
Variations of the ŌĆ£SŌĆØ were shown around campus for people to participate in choosing the final design. According to Pettifer, the biggest challenge was to incorporate the osprey into the symmetrical properties of the letter S, and the result was a fierce-looking osprey head with eyes focused downward, as if swooping down on its prey.
Gary Schenck, lead designer on the project, said the depiction of the osprey ŌĆ£has the effect of morphing out of the letter; and the S morphs out of the osprey,ŌĆØ Schenck said.
There is a larger role in mind for the S beyond the window cling and magnet. It will eventually turn up in printed materials, on Stockton clothing and accessories and possibly athletic team uniforms.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a versatile piece that can be incorporated into the institutional branding effort and in many other areas,ŌĆØ said Pettifer.

I woke up this morning and swore I could hear rain falling on the tent. I stared for awhile and decided it was just bits of trees. I got out of the tent to find everything was uniformly wet.
It turns out that the guy who came over and started my fire last night is an Oregon Strongman competitor named Albie Mushaney.
I took off knowing I had a long day, especially if Hwy 101 yesterday was any indication. 101 gradually swept inland but in Oregon was still mighty slow. My front tire was really showing its age and I finally found a place in Coos Bay where I could get a replacement.
As the morning wore on the clouds disappeared and the sun came out.
I crossed into California and had to go through some sort of checkpoint. I'm not sure what it was all about but the only other time I've come across something like this was while traveling in Mexico. Hwy 101 started moving along faster in California and before long I was in the redwood forest. There really was almost too much to see but I still made good time.
When I saw the sign for the Chandelier Tree I couldn't help myself and pulled off to take a picture. As I came out I realized that I had reached my turnoff to Ft. Bragg.
The road was so tight and twisty that I had quite the time; it was a lot of work to aim the bike through the turns and keep it upright. As I made my way the low fuel warning light began to flash, signs indicated that the next fuel was only 28 miles so I didn't worry about it.
I finally came out of the woods and regained the shoreline. It was really beautiful up here!
I finally got to the services indicated on the sign but they evidently close before 8. I knew Ft. Bragg was another 20 miles and it was getting cold.
I managed to get gas in Cleone, I pumped 5.5 gallons into what is advertised as a 5.8 gallon tank so I was really close to the edge. I finally rolled into Ft. Bragg sometime after 9, it was dark. I ended up at the Sandpiper Lodge, stayed up too late watching bad TV and eating even worse pizza. I saw part of a program on the History Channel about driving trucks on the Dalton Highway in winter where one guy about lost it on the Beaver Slide; I knew exactly how he felt.
9 ½ hours riding today.

I woke up early after way too little sleep, sometimes I'm glad we don't have TV as I imagine this would be a more common occurrence. I got rolling just before 9 and decided to go against my directions which would've led me back up the twisty road from last night. I rode abit down the shore on Hwy 1 then took Hwy 128 back toward Hwy 101, I like the redwoods. Unfortunately this was the last I was to see of the redwoods; it was quite challenging and woke me up.
I got back on the 101 and while there were some nice things to see it was quite boring as a rule.
Coming into San Francisco I went across the biggest bridge I've ever seen! I couldn't really enjoy it much because there was such a strong wind blowing in; I had to hold on for dear life and grit my teeth just to stay in my lane.
My campground for the night was Sunset Beach, I'd imagined that it would be sort of a touristy community leading up to it with kitschy stuff to see. Instead I was treated to field upon field of...something filled with what I believe to be mostly migrant workers.
I made it to my campsite, I'm about 1/8 mile from the ocean but have to climb this monstrous sand dune to get to it. I was lucky that I'd reserved this spot in advance as people were being turned away in droves when I arrived.
Although the picture doesn't really show it you have to imagine that this boardwalk is near vertical, or at least it felt that way after about the first 20 steps.
Making to the top was definitely worth it as there was a good view!
The trek down the other side of the dune was a bit more challenging as it involved something that was really more like a ladder than a boardwalk, it was still easier than the climb but why do they always space the rungs so they're exactly wrong for me?
Directly at the base of the dune trail is evidently a nesting area for the Snowy Plover. I looked hard but I didn't see anything, of course I didn't really know what to look for.
This sign made it much clearer what I was supposed to look for so I paid much closer attention
The beach is smaller than the one I walked along in Oregon and there's not as much wildlife on it, well at least not as much unfamiliar wildlife. I saw one jellyfish, the shells of 3 of those little digging things and some sand dollars. I think I found a live sand dollar, at least it hadn't been broken into yet, so I rolled it back into the ocean. There were tons of seagulls as well as something that looked similar but was much bigger.
This one guy had only one leg but he seemed to get along okay. I also saw a bunch of pelicans.
When it was time to go back to the campground I looked up the dune face and those laddery stairs and decided to walk back along the beach until I came to the public entrance, it was a lot longer than I'd thought.
I stopped at the guard shack on my way back to the campsite and asked where I could find an atlas or a map. Evidently I stopped planning the trip before I was finished as I had no route planned to get out of Watsonville in the morning. Watsonville is the only place around so I headed there to see what I could find.
Talk about a town that caters to its migrant workers! This area is all vegetable fields and from what I saw most of the workers are Mexicans. I finally found a map and have a good idea how to go in the morning, maybe I'll stay up for the sunset over the ocean tonight.
As it started to get dark I made the trek back up over the dune to get some pictures. With a name like Sunset Beach I had really high expectations; I'm really glad I stopped at the top to take this picture because it was a real letdown once I got down to the shore. I took a couple of pictures but the sun set over a spit of land instead of gloriously over the ocean as I'd expected. This time I climbed back up the dune face to get back, it was just as tough as I'd expected.

I got a fairly early start in the morning but nothing really special. I've got my map and have a route marked out on it so I should be set.
It's chilly when I leave and I soon stop to put on my electric jacket; none too soon as I'm soon riding back up a mountain and into the clouds where it gets even colder. Soon enough I'm back down the other side and it's getting warm again.
I get through Fresno and Bakersfield and I'm on Route 58 going through the Mojave Desert toward Barstow and Needles. At one point I stop for a drink and get a decent cloud picture of a guy with a bow and arrow.
Evidently wind power is pretty popular out here, I saw quite a few of these wind farms on my way through.
Now I live in what some consider the desert but even going through Phoenix I've not felt conditions like I did going across this desert. I have no idea how hot it is because my thermometer has completely given up the ghost and isn't readable. Normally I don't get too uncomfortable on the bike, the wind tends to cool me off a bit but this is just unbelievable. I'm sweating like a maniac, I can tell when I stop and take off my jacket, but there is no cooling effect.
I've decided not to try for Vegas but need to go through a bit of Nevada so I can count it in my states ridden for the trip, I elect for Laughlin. At first I'd thought I'd spend the night here but once I got here I found that I really wasn't comfortable so I just picked up some dinner and headed out; I've decided I'll try for Kingman, AZ for the night.
As the sun starts to set my thermometer wakes back up and I watch disbelievingly as it registers 107 degrees.
I'd called Karen while I was in Laughlin and she clued me in to some different hotels that I might find in Kingman. It's only supposed to be 31 miles from Laughlin to Kingman so I wasn't too worried about it. Finally I came across the Motel 6 that I'd decided was my best bet for a cheap motel and dragged myself inside. Online we'd seen a fate of $36 but their sign was showing $50. After some tense moments inside I discovered there were 2 Motel 6's in Kingman, who would've thought it? I quickly headed to the other side of town where I found a room for $35! Unfortunately there was basically nothing on TV although I didn't let that stop me from staying up until midnight watching crap. 599 miles today and around 8-1/2 hours on the bike.
I'm heading to Flagstaff today and meeting up with Karen! I'm just under 150 miles away and need to stop for gas once.
I got going fairly early once again and arrived in Seligman just before 10. I called Karen to let her know when to expect me and realized there was an ear laying in the next parking space.
As I took the picture I looked over and noticed another ear in the spot on the other side of me, WTF?
I got out of there quickly before someone decided human ears might be okay as well. Looking ahead I saw what was obviously a thunderstorm cell, I had to chuckle a bit as it was in Flagstaff on day 1 where I ran into my first thunderstorm; my only hope is that I'm able to stay up on 2 wheels this time as I also haven't crashed since day one.
Just as I roll into town the skies open up and I'm drenched. I don't worry about it as I've gone through way worse in the past twenty-some days.
I find the hotel Karen has chosen fairly easily and am soon reunited with my lovely wife. She braves the rain to come out and give me a big hug; Karen looks up at me with shining and eyes and says, you smell like a homeless person. I begin to object and tell her that it can't be true as I just washed my clothes...I count on my fingers and realize that it was 8 days ago while I was in Hyder. I'm quickly banished to the shower so that we can go look around in Flagstaff, a town I've not spent a lot of time in.
We walked around town for a bit and soaked up the atmosphere. We stopped for lunch, I can't even remember the name of the place, and I just reveled in being back close to home.
Just some pictures:
Later that night we went over to the NAU (Northern Arizona University?) theatre to see the Odd Couple, it was quite entertaining although I got a bit sleepy near the end. It was put on by a local theatre group who have a deal with the University.
We stayed an extra day in Flagstaff and among other things we headed up to the Observatory. I don't remember what everything was but I do remember that it was quite interesting. The closest to this I've come is the Adler Planetarium in Chicago but I never got the feeling that they actually did work there. A lot of stuff around here felt sort of...homemade and I liked it.
When I die I wouldn't object to having some place like this to while away the hours of eternity. I remember there was some sort of controversy surrounding this but again, I can't remember what it was; I really need to take better notes.
This guy is pointing us toward a map of the solar system, well a representation anyway.
The first sign there is the sun and then every sign after that is a planet, I think they even have the asteroid belt represented in there as well; Karen is standing next to Earth. The map is made so that the distances between the signs are in scale to the actual distances between the celestial features. I'm going with they whole scale thing because actual distances would be difficult to represent and well, there was a sign.
Notice in the previous picture you couldn't see this building, that last blue sign in it represents Pluto. Now how many of you knew that Pluto was discovered at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff? I sure didn't. In fact the placement of this sign is particularly meaningful as it's right outside the telescope that was used to discover Pluto!
We stopped at a few other things around town that I forgot to take my camera out for but really made it an early night; Flagstaff is still quite a distance from Bisbee and it was going to be a long ride in the morning!

Come morning I loaded up the bike for the final push home. I'd thought about loading up the car with my saddlebags and such but then figured that they'd come this far they should make it the whole way.
The vistas of the desert are much different that what I'd been seeing for the majority of the trip.
I had a bit of fun taking self portraits in tanker trailers while cruising down the highway.
Passing Picacho Peak I reminisced about climbing it with Karen the first time I came out to Arizona, the top is the point to the left and yes we made it the whole way.
I passed the exit for Fort Huachuca, happy that I didn't have to return to work for another couple of days.
Should I take the east road and continue the adventure or head on home through Tombstone to Bisbee?
I'd better get back home.
As I exit Tombstone the weather is still beautiful, it was hot riding through Phoenix but really not that bad.
I can tell I'm getting close to home as the mountains start reappearing.
I decided to head up over the Divide rather than go through the tunnel; we'd had a fire earlier in the year and it takes quite a while for the area to recover around here.
I stopped once more to take a picture overlooking Old Bisbee and then it was back on the road.
When I make that left up ahead I'll be heading into downtown, what most tourists think of when they're talking about Old Biz.
And there you go.
As I exit Old Biz I ride past the Lavendar Pit, those things that look like hills on the left are what came out of the pit. Sorry, no pictures of the Pit itself, if you want some you can always come out and take your own.
As I exit the traffic circle Warren comes into view.
Loma Linda coming up on the left and I'm almost home. J.A. Jance wrote about Loma Linda in one of her earlier books, can't remember the title but she called it by a different name; if you've read the book you'll remember Joanna Brady climbing the slag heap behind the house, you can see it there. This too came out of the Lavendar Pit, the slag not the house.
Hey! They paved the street while I was away! WooHoo!
Well they paved it up until it reached our street anyway; Doh!
I finally pull back into my driveway some 27 days and 10,000 miles after I left.
As I look down over the town I think a little bit about my journey. I rode through 9 states and 3 provinces in 3 countries. I saw 10 bears but no moose. There was too much to dwell on, it was a bit overwhelming, so I unpacked and went in the house.

If I learned anything on this trip it was:
1. Choose your riding partners carefully, they can drag you down instead of sharing in the adventure.
2. Take everything you read with a grain of salt, I expected a Tourance to last at least 8k miles with hopes of 10k, instead I was happy to get 5k out of mine and it needed replacement at a bad time.
3. Take less than what you think you need. My trunk was full of food and cooking gear, this lasted me the whole trip and was great. My issue was that I took way too many clothes, I don't know what I was thinking.
4. Try to make your schedule flexible, granted it's difficult to get 4 weeks off work and I don't know when it will happen again, but I had my trip set up in such a way that delaying one day would screw up everything that came after. I made reservations whenever possible and this worked well as some places were full when I arrived and I'd have been turned away without a reservation but it also locked me in to that schedule.
The first trip's for learning, the second time is to do it right. I wouldn't trade my trip for anything, I had a great time. Sure I'd do some things different, hopefully I'll get the chance to do it again soon enough.

great ride!
I have read numerous trip reports and I consider yours one of, if not the best I have read.I am preparing for my Alaska trip now and hope to leave about the 2nd week in June.I also like tent camping when possible and that was one of the areas I found most interesting,however I hadn't planed on cooking as the extra bulk and weight of doing so didn't seem to be worth the effort also it is an attractant for the bears.Looking back could you have succesfully camped as much and avoided starvation without cooking?
I ride an FJR 1300 and pack pretty well as I have over the years taken several trips cross country and to Newfoundland on a Harley.I loved every day of it although like you;some days were better than others.I live in SE Alabama and if anyone might be interested in going about the same time please contact me.I am retired(not dead) and I can make as many or as few miles per day as most riders can.Thanks again for a very informative account of a great trip!

I think I would have been fine without cooking although in some places it would have taken some planning ahead or being okay with a bit of a ride to get some food.
I'm one of those people who likes to stay around the campsite once I get set up and cooking a bit of dinner was a decent way to finish the day. Most of what I brought only involved boiling water so it wasn't a big deal and it helped keep my budget in check.
My biggest thing was remembering to fill my water bottles while I was on the road; it never failed that I'd get to the campground only to be low on water for drinking and cooking, not all campgrounds had water available.
If I were to do it again I wouldn't change the cooking part, it added to the adventure.

ÔÇťItÔÇÖs the creepiest Christmas song,ÔÇŁ one of my co-workers said.
ÔÇťKind of date rape-y,ÔÇŁ another added.
Of course, they were talking about ÔÇťBaby, ItÔÇÖs Cold Outside,ÔÇŁ the 1944 Frank Loesser duet thatÔÇÖs technically not a Christmas song but still is popular during the season. Coincidentally, itÔÇÖs long been one of my favorites, with a relaxed cadence and impressive scheme ÔÇö especially in a time of increasingly poppy tunes, ÔÇťBaby, ItÔÇÖs Cold OutsideÔÇŁ and its numerous covers have remained rather classy and stylish.
The song has, unfortunately, gotten a bad rap over the years, as my co-workers banter indicates. The root of that reputation lies in a fundamental misunderstanding of the lyrics; they were written in a different era, and more than 60 years later some parts of the song certainly could come across as overly sketchy. While understandable, this misinterpretation represents a tragic loss of the context of the song, alienating it not only from its own time but from ours as well. A closer reading and consideration of the lyrics, however, will provide an understanding and hopefully even an appreciation of ÔÇťBaby, ItÔÇÖs Cold Outside.ÔÇŁ
I really can't stay – Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away – Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been – Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice – I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry – Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor – Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry – Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well Maybe just a half a drink more – Put some music on while I pour
The neighbors might think – Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink – No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how – Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell – I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir – Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried – What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay – Baby don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside
C'mon baby
I simply must go – Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no – Ooh baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been – I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm – Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious – Man, your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door – Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious – Gosh your lips look delicious
Well maybe just a half a drink more – Never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home – Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb – It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand – Your eyes are like starlight now
But don't you see – How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow – Making my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied – If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay – Get over that old out
Ahh, but it's cold outside.
The premise of the song is simple enough: a young woman has been visiting a young man. ItÔÇÖs late in the evening in winter, approaching the time it would no long be socially acceptable for them to be alone. She laments the societal mores that would tarnish her image should she stay too late; he provides possible excuses for her to use with her family, including, of course, that itÔÇÖs too cold outside to walk home.
Of course, thatÔÇÖs the PG version. The adult version is that they want to have sex, but of course rumors would profligate at ÔÇťEasy AÔÇŁ levels. Or, possibly, they already have, because she asks for a comb, indicating her hair is mussed from a roll in the hay. Even still, the plot remains both sympathetic and endearing.
The modern interpretation, however, is somewhat different, and relies around the misinterpretation of a single line of lyrics. She agrees to another half-hour, and he pours them both drinks, as people in the ÔÇś40s (and, to be honest, today) are wont. ÔÇťSay, what's in this drink?ÔÇŁ she asks. Most people I know cite this line when questioning the intentions of the man, and at first glance it could be interpreted to indicate her drink was roofied. But the true meaning is more complicated: just as people do today, she is blaming conscious action on inebriation, providing an excuse, if not a very desirable one, for her advances. Yes, her advances. Both the man and the woman are interested in sex, something that maybe wasnÔÇÖt explored on ÔÇťLeave it to BeaverÔÇŁ but which did, in fact, occur.
What proves the plot is less skeevy than modern interpretation would hold? She spends much of the song worrying not about her actually stay over but rather her familyÔÇÖs reaction, including a worrying mother, a pacing father, a suspicious sister, a brother at the door and a maiden aunt with a vicious mind. ÔÇťBut donÔÇÖt you see / ÔÇŽ ThereÔÇÖs bound to be talk tomorrow / ÔÇŽ At least there will be plenty implied,ÔÇŁ she tells the man. ÔÇťI really canÔÇÖt stay,ÔÇŁ she says, and he replies, ÔÇťGet over that old out,ÔÇŁ as in excuse.
As an example, the below video, a cover of ÔÇťBaby, ItÔÇÖs Cold OutsideÔÇŁ by Chris Colfer and Darren Criss from ÔÇťGlee,ÔÇŁ showcases the appropriate tone and delivery of the duet. Colfer, singing the female role, is obviously not scared or worried, as someone who was in a predatory situation would be; rather, he is coy, hinting at deeper desires contrasting with cultural acceptability.
Ultimately, of course, she bucks acceptability: ÔÇťI ought to say no, no, no, sir / ÔÇŽ At least I'm gonna say that I tried / ÔÇŽ I really can't stay / ÔÇŽ Ahh, but it's cold outside.ÔÇŁ The final line is sung not back and forth, as the rest is, but rather together in harmony. ÔÇťBaby, ItÔÇÖs Cold OutsideÔÇŁ isnÔÇÖt about overpowering a woman or even really an inner conflict, but rather pushes away socially acceptable behavior in favor of personal desires. Unfortunately, that message has become muddled and somewhat lost to time. Ironically, never before has such a song been so reflective of society.

Finger Slayer
5,000,000 - 10,000,000 downloads
- Playing with friends
- Funny at first
- Repetitive
- it gets boring
+ By RV AppStudios
"Beware! Your finger is in danger"
Reviewed by Anna Grace / Sep 20, 2012
Place your finger and release it before it's too late
Finger Slayer is a popular game that arrived to Android and consists of a simple task: place your finger on the guillotine circle and remove it before the blade drops: not too soon, not too late. The longer you wait, the higher the score but be careful.
There are two game modes, the guillotine and the saw, whichever you prefer for cutting your finger off. The game is actually simple, you just need to pay attention and improve your reflexes. However, besides being fun at first, it soon gets pretty boring and repetitive, as there are no challenges other than trying to surpass your score. Of course, you can always dare your friends and compete with them to see who gets the highest score.
RV AppStudios is the developer of Finger Slayer, the Christmas version and other several games for Android that you might also enjoy. The graphics are correct and the game is funny, try it out and see if you can beat the guillotine.
Simply place your finger on guillotine circle and wait for 3,2,1 & Go count. After Go count remove your finger as soon as blade drops. The longer you wait till the blade falls the higher the score. Also if you remove your finger to early then the game ends so timing is essential.
★ Features:
✓ Endless Game Mode
✓ Realistic sound effects
▲ We're already working on a new update! In the mean time, please keep playing, keep reviewing, and keep sharing the app with your friends. We'll keep providing updates! :- )

WATERTOWN — When Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed after a fiery shoot-out with police, the Boston Marathon bombing suspect and his younger brother were making their last stand in a neighborhood Tamerlan knew well.
On at least a dozen occasions, Tamerlan had visited a two-family home on Boylston Street, just a few short blocks from the scene of his violent death, to meet with friends who knew him as a freewheeling Muslim who danced to hip-hop music, smoked marijuana, and always kept a prayer rug in the trunk of his car.
"He'd wash his hands and lay it out in the backyard and pray for 20 minutes or a half-hour a handful of times a day," said Sebastian A. Freddura, a hip-hop performer and onetime Cambridge neighbor who was one of Tamerlan's oldest friends in America. "We'd smoke a jay and he'd come out and pray."
In an interview with the Globe, Freddura provided new information that may help explain the final, bizarre two hours of Tamerlan Tsarnaev's life as he and his brother, Dzhokhar, fled in a carjacked vehicle on the night of April 18 and drove to this quiet, secluded neighborhood.
Freddura said that on the night of the frenzied firefight between the Tsarnaev brothers and police, the brothers may have been heading to his place. In fact, during the predawn hours on Friday, as law enforcement officials searched Watertown for Dzhokhar, Freddura said he at one point instinctively picked up a hammer to protect himself in case Dzhokhar came to the door.

London - Alastair Cook will not be quitting as England captain despite losing the second test to India by 95 runs at Lord's on Monday, the 10th successive test they have failed to win.
Cook, also in a poor run of form with the bat, has come under increasing pressure to stand down.
"It gets harder and harder the more we don't win," Cook said at the presentation ceremony.
"It heaps it on me. Until I'm tapped on the shoulder, I'm desperate to turn it around. I'm here until the end of the summer.
"I've got an inner steel, which I have to keep drawing on. I have to score some runs. A 10 and a 20 didn't seem a lot, but I hit the ball better."
Cook said the England players were struggling to take advantage of good positions.
"It's an issue with confidence, getting over that line," he said.
"We are desperate to win for England. The longer that builds up, it is going to take a serious performance.
"A lot of the standout performances have been from the younger players. The older guys aren't playing as well as their record suggests. I've got to start scoring runs as well."

After a stop off at D'Anbino Winery in Paso Robles last evening, Nathan and Jonathan McEuen, will team up with their father John, and founder of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, for a concert Saturday evening at eight at the Lobero Theatre. Nathan and Jonathan say they were raised in a house full of instruments and began playing as young kids, though Nathan says it wasn't until he was 15 or so that he got serious about music. The brothers play guitar and banjo and sing harmony in much of their sets. They credit their father's influence on their music--Nathan labels it Americana--with a rendition of the song, "Leader of the Band," recorded years ago by Dan Fogelberg. Tickets for their performance at Lobero are available on the venue's website.

CD International Enterprises To Utilize Two Recently Executed Trade Financing Agreements Providing For Up To $2.8 Million In Credit Availability To Expand Magnesium And Commodities Distribution Businesses
DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla., Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CD International Enterprises, Inc. ("CD International") (OTCQB:CDII), a U.S. based company that produces, sources, and distributes industrial commodities in China and the Americas and provides business and financial corporate consulting services, today announced it intends to utilize two recently executed trade agreements providing for up to a total of $2.8 million in receivable and inventory based financing to expand its ongoing magnesium and commodities distribution businesses.
CD International is using one receivable financing facility of up to $2 million executed in October, 2012 between its International Magnesium Group ("IMG") subsidiary and a finance organization based in Germany, to help leverage receivables from its International Magnesium Group's global sales efforts.

CD International has successfully drawn down on both financing facilities and management believes this available credit will help its operations opportunistically grow sales by leveraging its receivables and inventories.
Commenting on the announcement, Dr. James Wang, Chairman and CEO of CD International, stated, "We are pleased to have secured these credit facilities for our magnesium and commodities distribution businesses. We believe that having this greater financial flexibility will help us to be more opportunistic in our sales efforts enabling us to accelerate our overall growth in these areas.

All you need is faith, trust, and a little pixie dust!
Just another Manic Monday, wish it were a Sunday...make that Saturday...never mind, make it Friday night. What a day...work wasn't too bad, but it started snowing pretty good late in the afternoon, making for a horrible commute. It usually takes me ten minutes to get home, and that's on a slow day, and today it took me nearly 40. We're supposed to get a total of 3-4" of snow, and possible ice accumulations tomorrow morning. Great. I guess it's fitting that tomorrow is the winter solstice since our weather/road conditions are going to be pretty durn wintery.
And, in spite of my efforts to cut back my access to baked goods, I'm surrounded by them now! Why are holiday cookies so hard to escape? There are the batches I made, and then Timmy's therapist brought over a batch of sugar cookies to ice with him, and let us keep them, and also she gave us a big platter of different kinds of cookies she had baked...oh, and there was tons of leftover frosting from the sugar cookies, so we ended up doing a quick batch of gingerbread too. I spent a good part of my evening frosting cookies while I watched a Harry Potter movie on the portable DVD player. Good times. The good news about the sudden cookie windfall is that I kept my consumption in check today, but I'm going to have to tread carefully to avoid over-stuffing myself with them in the coming days. Oy.
My day ended on a pretty sour note with a nasty argument between me and Bruce. We haven't really fought quite like that in a while, but when he went to bed a little while ago, we still weren't on speaking terms. I really hate going to bed angry, but sometimes it just happens. Hopefully we'll have time to talk things through tomorrow when we are both calmer. But talk about putting a horrible, sucky damper on an already tense Monday! And to make it more complicated, we are supposed to be hosting dinner for some friends tomorrow night, and we probably won't actually see each other until our friends are here. I really hate trying to socialize and pretend like nothing's happening when we're not on good terms. I am a terrible actress, and it's just so awkward. Blech. Maybe we can try to chat on the phone at lunch hour or something just so things aren't so icky.
Drink my water, 64+ ounces: DONE (13 days running)!
Eat five servings of fruits and veggies: DONE (5 days running)!
Eat mindfully all day and night: DONE (3 days running)! In spite of being surrounded by cookies, cookies, and more cookies, I did a pretty good job of restraining myself! Maybe I am starting to get it...kinda. I didn't feel too bad about sampling some since I had passed on desserts and rich foods at work - just stuck with my lunchbox stuff - and had a light dinner as well. I was within my calorie limits, and although the amount of cookies I consumed wasn't nececssarily ideal, it was not way too much either.
Running: None.
Cross Training: No way was I headed out to the gym tonight when it was still snowing and disgusting out there! I spent forty-five minutes with Leslie Sansone walking away the pounds. She and I seem to be pretty good pals lately. Gym tomorrow, perhaps.
Strength Training: Ten minute lower body training video (a SP bootcamp video). I think I already need to beef up my ST routine some. I'm not feeling quite as toned as I'd like to, and could probably add some more exercises to make sure I hit all the muscle groups with enough intensity!
Here's hoping to a better day tomorrow. Today, especially after five o' clock, seriously honked. Next!
All you need is faith, trust, and a little pixie dust!
Well, after my vow not to do any Christmas baking, I gave in to a craving today and bought some ingredients to make something called "brookies." In short, a brookie is a cross between a brownie and a chocolate chip cookie. Whoever conceived the brookie was a genius, I tell you!
How could this image not be tempting to anyone who has any kind of sweet tooth?! Um...yum, yum, yum...yes please! So while I was making my weekly trek to Woodman's, I picked up the supplies, minus the chocolate ganache...and set to work in a mini baking frenzy this afternoon. The brookies were my first creation, and I followed it up with a batch of pumpkin bottoms, cupcakes made of pumpkin bread mix with cheesecakey centers. Ummm...I made you a pumpkin bottom, but I eated it??? However, after sampling one of each product and dutifully marking them off in my Spark People food tracker, I lovingly packaged up the remains for later consumption. Although I could have eaten a whole bunch...like a lot, a lot...in one go. And I balanced it all out with a light lunch and a healthy homecooked dinner, not to mention a healthy dose of exercise!
Drink my water, 64+ ounces: DONE (12 days running)!
Eat five servings of fruits and veggies: DONE (4 days running)!
Eat mindfully all day and night: DONE (2 days running)! I'm proud of how I handled my impromptu baking session. Yes, I essentially gave into a craving induced by a tantalizing internet image (see above), but I acted on it sensibly. I will have brookies and pumpkin bottoms to enjoy over the next couple of weeks and share with friends and family...it will all work out beautifully, no doubt. And dinner, a new orange chicken recipe from Cooking Light paired up with delicious pine-nut couscouse pilaf, was another one of today's successes!
Running: None.
Cross Training: Another Walk Away the Pounds video. I'm not sure if I'd call it walking, as such, but I would tend to categorize it more as aerobics. And, since I hadn't done much WATP for a while, until the last couple of weeks, I had forgotten how happy aerobics make me. I don't know if it's all the wacky movements or the smarmy upbeat music or the banter between the instructor, Leslie Sansone, and her groups of walkers, but wow, what a rush of endorphins I get after a good aerobics session. Apparently this comes much easier to me than the elusive runner's high that I never seem to experience.
Strength Training: Took a day off.
Back to work tomorrow...all too soon. At least, with Christmas coming up, it's a four day week. Hopefully the work week will pass quickly and painlessly, and I'll be enjoying that well-deserved long weekend before I know it!
All you need is faith, trust, and a little pixie dust!
Today I slept in until...maybe eight forty-five, and WOW, it was awesome. Funny how the only time I really ever sleep past nine anymore (really past seven-thirtyish) is when I'm sick. I still have fond memories of those weekends during college when I could sleep until ten...or even later if I wanted to! Now that's luxury...hehe. The day started off pretty slow, meaning that we more or less lazed around in our PJs, and then we headed to Taco Bell for lunch. Yes, the headline for today is that the Taco Bell within a mile of our house opened its doors today. Dun-dun-dun! Bring on the gluttony!! Well, I did manage to keep it relatively under control today...although I'm slowly coming to the realization that, no matter what I pick, it's very difficult to get something even remotely enjoyable for under 500 calories. Sigh...isn't that always the way? In any event, my burrito and chips didn't undo my day, and I was fairly pleased with how it all turned out...
Drink my water, 64+ ounces: DONE (11 days running)!
Eat five servings of fruits and veggies: DONE (3 days running)!
Eat mindfully all day and night: DONE (1 day running)! So lunch was indulgent, but I stayed under control...and skipped the trip back to the counter for a second burrito or a spare order of nachos, something I used to do fairly often. And I did really enjoy my single burrito. Yums! For dinner, we went healthier with hoisin pork tenderloin and lots of fresh veggies. The one dinnertime splurge was some Crescent Rolls, but I capped those after about two hundred calories' worth. It is so easy to eat like four in one sitting...mmmm...the flaky goodness!
Running: None. I'm not that worried about it. My cutback seems to have turned into almost a full-on layoff...I think I've run maybe once or twice over the last couple of weeks. I'm not too worried about it though because I've been very consistent about working out, and getting some fairly intense workouts to boot, and I have my training plan all sketched out to start the middle of next month...and it's a fairly drawn out program which will give me plenty of time to get ready for Country Music. My official start date is January 10. Stay tuned! And I suspect I'll get a run squeezed in here and there between now and then.
Cross Training: Did a fun Walk Away the Pounds five mile video...very satisfying workout!
Strength Training: SparkPeople bootcamp video, the last video in the bootcamp program!! I checked off my final week and got my official Spark People trophy for completing the 28 day bootcamp. My plan going forward is to continue to use the bootcamp videos for strength training, and begin supplementing/replacing them as I get more advanced and feel the need to challenge myself some more. In the relatively near future, I'd like to try mixing things up with some new ST tools, like a Bosu ball, kettleball, medicine ball, etc. I know there's a world of possibilities out there, and I'm learning that ST doesn't have to be the boring, sucky chore that I once thought it was. I mean, I still don't necessarily love it, but I know that it can be at least somewhat engaging...and worth it of course.
Tomorrow...grocery shopping! We discussed our Christmas meal game plan, and are going for less traditional fare, homemade pizza. And steaks on Christmas Eve. All luxurious kinds of food that we wouldn't eat on an ordinary day, but we do like to make things at least a little special for the holidays...should be fun! Just me, Bruce, and little T in our little townhouse for Christmas. I can't believe this will likely be our last (of three) Christmases in our apartment! Next year, hopefully it will be our first Christmas in OUR house!!
And of course, there's always the fun of Christmas gifts. Bruce and I decided, rather than exchanging gifts, to take a set amount of money each and spend it on things for ourselves. My first purchase was my medal hanger, which is still in transit somewhere, and I'm still mulling over what else I might want. I also have $$$ from my work, the ILs, and my parents. Part of me is tempted to buy a Netbook to supplement my decrepit four-year-old laptop, but I'm not sure. There are other good uses for that money like *cough* race entry fees!
All you need is faith, trust, and a little pixie dust!
We're moving solidly into the pre-Christmas rush now...not that my family has a lot going on, since we're not traveling, nor are we having Christmas visitors. All the same, I definitely feel the frenzied rush of activity going on around me, and it's so easy to get caught up in it! Today was my company's holiday party. It isn't a full-fledged party, as such, but a get-together during the workday where the culinary department treats us to various baked goods and piping hot hoity-toity gourmet drinking chocolate (which is so rich and divine, that I dare not call it plain old "hot chocolate"). I've done three of these parties now, and I always look forward to seeing what creations culinary puts out there. This year, they certainly did a fine job. The offerings included fudge cookies, sugar cookies shaped like mittens, Mexican wedding cakes (one of my favorites, as you know...), deliciously tangy icebox cookies with crystalized sugar on the edges, and several other delicacies. As you can probably guess, I struggled to keep my hands off and ended up indulging and indulging and indulging. So much for my efforts to keep to one cookie. Not to mention the fact that I treated myself to a slice of tres leches cake, one of my favorite kinds of cake in the whole world, at lunch! My slice of cake looked so beautiful and dreamy and heavenly, that I was tempted to snap a photo of it. And the cookies, nom-nom. During the party, Several people attempted to get a holiday sing-along going, but that wasn't quite as successful as the cookies, it seems. Like me, I think most of my co-workers were more into eating and talking than singing! So it goes without saying that I went over my calorie limit today, and the amount of baked goods I consumed indicates that I did not, in any way, eat "mindfully."
Drink my water, 64+ ounces: DONE (10 days running)!
Eat five servings of fruits and veggies: DONE (2 day running)! Even though today's diet was cake, cookies, cookies, cookies, I still did manage to squeeze in two servings of fruit and three or four of vegetables.
Eat mindfully all day and night: NOT TODAY! The beginning and end of the day were acceptable...but the middle, with my cake for dessert and all the cookies, not so much! I really do lose control around baked goods, which is why I seldom bake at home. Y'see, I'm not the kind of girl who can eat just one cookie and put the rest away for later. The only way cookies really work for me is if I literally have access to just one cookie, and can't get any more once I've consumed said cookie. I haven't yet baked Christmas cookies with Timmy for this very reason. Oh, and I guess there's the small problem that he doesn't seem to like cookies or many sweets, for that matter. In that way, he is soooo not my child. But anyway, this is what generally happens when I attempt baking:
And as I write this, I'm almost drooling thinking of the yums I ate at work...mmmmm...those bakers really outdid themselves. After I got home, I could have completely let go of the whole day, but I did rein it in by having a super light dinner...lots of veggies and some tofu, fried up in just a touch of oil. The tofu, oddly enough, reminded me of chunks of soft pretzel when I seasoned them up well. Intriguing...I could close my eyes and imagine it was something much more delectable than plain ol' tofu...
Running: None tonight. Not sure if it's connected with last night's quick run, but now my left ankle is a bit wonky. I'm thinking back and remembering that I did not wear my latest pair of running shoes (I think because I wasn't really anticipating running...) so maybe that's it.
Cross Training: Took a much needed rest day from XT too!
Strength Training: SparkPeople bootcamp video, tonight's being upper body training. I actually went through and did it twice because I was rather enjoying the workout, even the pushups!
Ready to enjoy a hopefully restful weekend. I'm going to write up a shopping list, and this means I need to figure out what we are doing for Christmas Eve and Christmas dinners. I have been kind of procrastinating, but it's time to make some decisions. Probably something low-key since it's just the three of us, but it would be nice to have something at least a little more festive than usual! As for the rest of the week, I'll pick up plenty of fruits and veggies, and not too many cookies. I've already had my fair share of those!
All you need is faith, trust, and a little pixie dust!
After veering off track, I veered back on today. The last few days of eating has been kind of like driving on an icy road (on a bad day)...skid a little bit off track, grab the steering wheel and pull yourself back into a straight line, skid a little, hope you don't hit a patch of black ice and slide into a ditch. Yeah, through my last few posts, can't you tell how much I "love" wintertime commuting. (Why isn't there a sarcasm font? There really should be...I can only imagine how much I would use it.) So anyway, today, I really watched my decision-making and I think I came out of it pretty well. Tomorrow may be sketchy though because our office Christmas party is taking place. This means that our culinary department bakes up ginormous batches of AH-mazing holiday cookies and lets us loose in a room full of tables and tables piled with the evil things. Add in a bit of piping-hot hoity-toity gourmet drinking chocolate, and the holiday party becomes downright dangerous to anyone with even an inkling of a sweet tooth. Stay tuned.
As for today, here's the lowdown...
Drink my water, 64+ ounces: DONE (9 days running)!
Eat five servings of fruits and veggies: DONE (1 day running)! Got some fruit in during the day, lots of fresh veggies in the evening. Not too hard at all. When I get them all in so painlessly I sometimes wonder why there are days when I struggle sooo much to even get in one or two. One of life's mysteries.
Eat mindfully all day and night: DONE (1 day running)! Today worked out pretty well, I think. My lunch was a wintery feast of beef Guinness stew and gingerbread cake from our cafeteria BUT I cut the cake in half and ate maybe about 2/3 of the stew, which made it a fairly "reasonable" lunch. I'm grateful that our cafeteria actually makes the efforts to put calorie counts on everything, so at least i know what I'm getting into! They don't get into too many gory details like grams of carbs or what specific nutrients their food has, but the calorie counts alone have helped me avoid some potentially disastrous decisions. For dinner we feasted on leftovers and random bits and pieces from the kitchen, but that suited me well enough since I could just have little bites and tastes of lots of different things, think tapas style. Of course I tracked it all!
Running: I went to the gym tonight and actually did do a little bit of running! Not being sure of how my body would take to it after a bit of time off, I kept my workout extremely gentle. I programmed my treadmill for a 5k, and ran one minute on/one minute off the whole time. It took about 37 minutes to complete the 5k, if that gives you any idea of my pace! It felt pretty good, and nothing in my body felt dodgy. I was rather enjoying the Christmas movie playing in the Cardio Cinema, so I extended my workout at the end with 25 minutes of walking.
Cross Training: The walking at the end of my easy/walk jog would almost certainly count!
Strength Training: SparkPeople bootcamp video, which was ten minutes of lower body training. Very satisfying even though I was kind of tired after the gym and not extremely motivated to get started with it. Two more days left of boot camp and I'll get my SP trophy for finishing. Then I'll pretty much keep going by doing bootcamp videos (minus the cardio one) until I get tired of them and want to replace them with some different strength training. I imagine that WILL happen down the road, at which point, I can add in some different SP videos or integrate other ideas that I find along the way.
Bruce and I are still sort of spinning from the flood of home-buying information we received yesterday! It's mind-boggling to see numbers with so many zeroes after them and think, OMG, I am going to make a purchase with THAT MANY zeroes in it. LOL! We are also having to keep in mind that what the bank says you can afford (based on 3x your gross income) is not REALLY what we can afford. We saw the number based on that calculation and quickly reasoned out, "Holy crap, that is 2x what we pay for rent," so we're OBVIOUSLY going to go for something more reasonable. The price range we settled on will still buy us about as much house as we want, so we're good. Although, when we consulted Timmy about our price range, he suggested a $5000 spending limit. What kind of house could you buy for $5K? Oh wait...I know! A pretty sweet castle made out of...Legos. Or perhaps gingerbread, in the spirit of the Christmas season?! Now Bruce and I are chomping at the bit, waiting to get our first batch of listings. It's going to be so crazy to look at REAL brick & mortar HOUSES (not just imaginary ones we conjure up in our minds) and think that one of these could be OURS in a few short months. EEK!
Our new home??? It would look all pretty lit up for Christmas...

|The Movie...
What a bummer LXG was! Talk about a movie that had such potential, and such great tools to work with, and instead of building a mansion, they built a back-woods outhouse! I wasn't aware that you could cast Sean Connery, who is possibly the best actor ever in my opinion, and still make a bad film. Ok, ok, it wasn't THAT bad…. but it wasn't really good either. Too add to that, I was FLOORED how rotten the special effects were on this movie! I swear I felt like I was watching a movie made 15 years ago. They were really, really bad! I could have almost dealt with everything else, but the crappy special effects are what really did me in, and made me sit back and shake my head. Now, having said all that, I am almost going to be making a complete contradiction as to the LXG DVD. I know that a lot of you are planning on passing up this DVD because the movie stinks…but please read on, I may have you changing your mind after reading this review.
But then again… maybe not!
Here is the synopsis from FOX:
A hunter, a scientist, a vampire, an invisible man, an immortal, a spy and a beast… when a masked madman known as "The Fantom" threatens to launch global Armageddon, legendary adventurer Allan Quartermain commands a legion of superheroes, the likes of which mankind has never seen. Now, despite fighting their own personal demons – and each other- the must join forces to save the world.
Picture quality for this DVD was actually very good. I was impressed. The picture was presented in 2:35:1 Anamorphic Widescreen.
The DVD picture quality really only lacks in one area, and I will get to that in a sec. The picture for LXG was very nice. The colors were bold and saturated, and stood out when they needed to. I didn't notice any color bleeding. Skin tones were really very good, if not perfect. They were not too warm and not to cool, they were just right.
Detail was very good throughout the movie, and I think I captured that for you on a few of the screen shots. There were a few scenes that did look a bit washed out, but they were the exception. The scenes that didn't look so hot, I thought, were the outdoor scenes. They were not quite as sharp and detailed as the rest. Also, anytime there was a daylight sky background, you could see the flecks of film dirt and dust. There were a couple of big flecks in one scene, one of which I captured for you on a screen shot
The worst part of the picture quality was the lack of really dark black levels. You can see in most of the screen shots, that the detail is there, but the blacks are not rock solid. A lot of scenes would have looked much better with darker black levels. I must say, that the black levels did look better on my Sony 40" however, than they do in the screen shots. Usually the screen shots equal what I see on my TV, but not in this case. Background video noise was kept to an acceptable minimum, and I didn't really notice any pixilation, or gradience issues either.
Overall, a very decent transfer!

Picture Quality Rating:
Picture: 4 / 5
The DVD is mixed in Dolby Digital 5.1
Holy moly! This DVD is IMPRESSIVE in the sound dept! The bass NEVER seems to stop! From the very opening sequence, you are pummeled and pounded with bass! It's just so great, I can't stop smiling! It's crazy, even small stuff, like a door closing on screen, it SLAMS with authority. The LFE is just pumped up all over the place on this DVD. All of the major scenes are very impressive, in both the colossal bass and the very active surround sounds, but there was one scene that ruled all in low end extension and sits high atop the LFE mountain with LOTR and the "crane" scene in T3. More about that in a sec…
The sound from beginning to end was great. The soundtrack was very clear, bold and separated perfectly between the left and right channels. The soundtrack was even strong in the rear speakers in certain scenes, and it just sounded awesome! I never felt that the soundtrack overpowered the scene, however. Onscreen dialog was anchored perfectly in the center channel. Dialog was bold, and clear, and never sounded tinny or harsh. In fact, certain scenes had some BIG center channel sound. The scene where they chase Jekyll on the rooftops, will really test your center channel speaker. I hope you have a good one, otherwise you might stress it a bit.
Surround sound was outstanding throughout the entire flick. It was always active and always bold, and you heard every bullet whizzing and pinging in the background. Also, thunder was done very, very well. They mixed it perfect! Actually, a couple of times during fight scenes, I jumped in my chair because the sound in the rear made me think someone was behind me. It was great!
Ok now for LFE. LXG, is definitely among my top four bass heavy DVD's now. It joins the ranks with the two LOTR DVDs, and with T3. The bass is large and in charge! The first thunderous bass happens at 00:19:42 when that white car drives off and around the corner. BIG TIME BASS! I must add, the rear channel effects, when the car is idling in the background are really cool!
The next BIG BASS comes at the first gun fight scene at 00:25:55. Here you get very FULL surround sound and deep LFE throughout. The rear is very active in this sequence.
At 00:32:30, where we first see Nautilus rising out of the water, look out! THUNDEROUS LFE! Right after that is the Jekyll chase scene, which is very bass and surround heavy, and surprisingly, very CENTER channel bass heavy!
Also, the scene where they have Jekyll chained up soon after, is just ridiculous with deep, deep LFE, Couple of time I almost turned it down, I am sure I was pissing off the neighbors!
There is another thunderous LFE scene with the Nautilus, at the 00:52:50 mark.
The grand champion of LFE for the movie comes at 01:00:40 when a "rocket" explodes. OMG, we are talking ridiculous, crazy, rattle the fillings out of your head, bass! This scene equals the best LOTR or T3 scene as far as pure, deep LFE output! Very intense!
Two more super heavy bass scenes are at the 01:26:30 mark, (fights) and at 01:33:38 (fight between Jekyll and "thing)
Then, at 01:37:16 come an LFE barrage that will rock your world. Here are my exact notes I wrote down word for word when watching. "01:37:16 Final explosions. JUST SICK! Beats LOTR for constant LFE. Deep and HUGE LFE throughout"
And there you go folks, this DVD is worth the price just for the bass barrage on your senses…. And your house! Of course, that is just my opinion! Hopefully the bass comes across for you like it did for me…. But, I know only a few of you have the SVS B4 Plus sub, and I am hoping you don't have to own one to get the same experience I did!

Extras: 2 / 5
"The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" may be a very disappointing movie, however, the DVD more than makes up, as it is now one of my new demo disks! The sound is absolutely incredible! It gives LOTR a major run for its money in the LFE dept. Simply awesome! I guess FOX had to redeem this movie somehow, and to me, they did with the sound mix!. Even if you think this was the worst movie of all time, those of you with a system that can show it off, owe it to yourself to have this DVD in your collection.
I am giving "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" the RECOMMENDED stamp of approval based purely on the sound mix for the DVD. If you don't believe me, rent it first!

SINGAPORE -- Interra Resources has informed its shareholders that its jointly controlled entity, Goldpetrol Joint Operating Company (Goldpetrol), has commenced drilling development well CHK 1188 in the Chauk oil field in Myanmar.
Interra has a 60% interest in the Improved Petroleum Recovery Contract of the Chauk field and also owns 60% of Goldpetrol, which is the operator of the field.
Since CHK 1188 is being drilled using Goldpetrol's LTO 350 rig, costs are anticipated to be relatively low. Interra's share of the cost of drilling is funded from existing funds on hand.
CHK 1188 is to be drilled to a targeted depth of 2,700 ft in the Chauk South fault block as an offset to producing well CHK 1157, which was originally completed as an oil producer in 2006. In March 2013, three untested reservoirs in CHK 1157 were brought on production following new casing perforations, and these are the primary objective reservoirs of CHK 1188.
Interra estimates that the results of the drilling and completion should be available in approximately six weeks.

Normal, IL (Sports Network) - Jackie Carmichael recorded a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Illinois State Redbirds who earned a convincing 83-47 Missouri Valley Conference win over the Southern Illinois Salukis at the Redbird Arena.
Carmichael was 5-of-10 from the field with two blocks while Tyler Brown lead the Redbirds (13-10, 4-7 MVC) in scoring with 16 points off 5-of-9 shooting from the field and 3-of-5 shooting from beyond the arc. Illinois State has won four of its last five after a six-game losing streak.
For the Salukis (8-14, 1-10), Desmar Jackson led the team with 14 points but shot just 6-of-18 from the field. Anthony Beane Jr. added 10 points while Jeff Early was the squad's top rebounder with 11. Southern Illinois has lost six in a row.
After holding the Salukis 35.7 percent shooting from the field in the first half, Illinois State led 39-27 at the break.

"You don't know what it's like."

Here's a blog post from Corridor of Words that I thought I might share with you:
And before anybody cries plagiarism, yes, Corridor of Words is my blog.This phrase goes two ways, for the moralizers. As in, they argue either for or against it, depending on the situation.
One is a response to when people decry the victims of a crime for seeking revenge against the criminal – say, in the case of a murder. They will argue, "you have no right to argue when you yourself have not seen the death of a loved one due to murder."
This would be perfectly okay, were it not for the opposite being true in the converse case – these same situationists will argue that the criminal should not receive any mercy or pity when receiving a punishment. Why doesn't anybody argue that "you have no right to argue when you yourself have not committed a crime and felt horrible about it afterwards"? Is the double standard of responsibility so great that we are willing to forgo mercy in the name of some ancient, primitive form of "justice"? It's as if the criminal is no longer a human being after committing a crime.
