Pantera's "Official Live: 101 Proof" is one of the finest examples of what made Pantera one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time, not to mention a killer live act. The album captures in spades all the energy and intensity of a live Pantera show, featuring stellar performances from each member of the band. One of the most redeeming qualities of this album are early Pantera classics (off of "Cowboys From Hell" and "Vulgar Display of Power") given steroid injections via Dimebag's updated and far more brutal guitar work (circa 1996), resulting in much heavier versions than the originals.
The previous reviewers are right to point out that this album is not recorded from one solitary show. If the album was recorded poorly and/or felt disjointed I would hold this fact against the album. However, the production here is among the finest of any live recording I have ever heard, and the transitions between songs from different shows are both smooth and coherent. The tracklisting of any live show is going to disappoint some fans, but the selection of tracks here shouldn't surprise anyone seeing as they are all staples of a Pantera show ("Angel of Death" is an obvious choice for Slayer, but we would all be pissed if they didn't play it, right?). Granted, it would be cool to hear some of the lesser played Pantera tunes like "Heresey" or "Throes of Rejection," but their absence doesn't detract from the album.
While there are many subtle live variations throughout, the standout (and most obvious) tracks are the combination of Domination and Hollow, and the chorus riff from Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever" thrown into "Cowboys from Hell." Phil Anselmo's rants between songs are another great addition to the album, not only because they are hilarious but because they fit perfectly with the spirit and attitude of a Pantera show.
The final two tracks, recorded in the studio, are as strong as any Pantera material around. These are definitely not b-sides by any means. Had Pantera decided to record another studio album between "The Great Southern Trendkill" and "Reinventing the Steel" these would have no doubt been on it. Be forewarned: Dimebag's solo on "I Can't Hide" will make you shit your pants.
In the end, if you dislike live records and/or Pantera, don't bother with this album. However, if you want to hear some of the most brilliant, innovative, and downright heavy guitar work ever, get this album. Don't let jack-asses who are more concerned with Pantera's success than their music get in the way of listening to metal of the highest order.
I like some Pantera... and I like probably 3 to 5 of the live songs on here. They pretty much threw their popular songs on this one and let it sit worthlessly on the shelf. I'm pretty sure this album was overdubbed and thrown together from several different soundboard recordings from shows. The crowd doesn't sound natural in some parts... it just seems like it's all copy and pasted together. They decide "Hey let's do a live album." Maybe they should've picked the songs where Phil doesn't sound like he forgot the vocal pattern mid verse. Well, maybe these were the good picks? That wouldn't be a shocker. The two new songs aren't all that bad... but nowhere near as good as the material on The Great Southern Trendkill. The song choice is "what you'd hear on the radio" and Suicide Note Part 2. They played F'ing Hostile? What a surprise. So did the local radio station every damn day.
Phil Anselmo manages to record just how terrible he was live in the mid-late 90s. I can't imagine seeing them doing this version of Strength Beyond Strength live... he sounds like vomitting from having too much whiskey is flowing out of his mouth during this song. Oh, and the mumbled verses on This Love were also a nice touch. Dimebag's riffing is pretty good and tight. Some of the solos sound completely messy while some others are dead on. As a fellow guitar player... I think he used way too much gain. Rex has some nice bass work too... Hey i'm glad I can actually hear the bass. Vinnie Paul sounds like he always does - bland, mediocre drumming with a complete lack of variation.
Overall I think this album is just a stack of crap to make some money. The studio songs were pretty well done, considering the rest of the album. They should've just done an EP or something.
Songs I think they should've done instead: Slaughtered, Floods, Shedding Skin, and The Great Southern Trendkill.
Songs on here I actually enjoyed: Dom/Hollow, I'm Broken, Sandblasted Skin, and Suicide Note Part II, Where You Come From
This is the live album that Pantera endorses. The reason I wonder if it is actually live is, 1. Pantera, at no point, gives the location, of where (or when) they are playing, and 2. There are actually two different shows being played on the same disk, but I'll delve into that later.
The song list consists of songs from Cowboys From Hell, Vulgar Display of Power, and Far Beyond Driven. Notice, no Power Metal, or anything else from their early years, in fact, the album booklet (actually a poster) doesn't even mention the albums. Nothing special about the songs here, as most of them sound like the studio versions. However, because it is a live album, they are not quite as flat (namely Walk), but that's expected when something is live.
Sadly, there is not enough variation of the live versions from their studio counterparts. The songs that are differnent are Walk, where the crowd finds out they are being filmed. The only real high point (in the live portion) of the album is Domination/Hollow, where Domination is cut down to the minute long base solo at the end.
Then we get into the two show deal. At the beginning of "I'm Broken", Phil says it's the last song of the night. Well, for that show, it is. However, after it fades away, a completely different show comes in and begins Cowboys From Hell. NOT a good move in my book. If you are trying to make a live album, don't make it look like you just slopped some shit together, put pictures of yourself perfoming, and then try and call it live.
Most of the other variations are just verbal rants by Phil, bragging about FBD becoming number one, and how the 'experts' don't like heavy music. Also, at the end of Cemetery Gates, it takes a full 90 seconds to try to convince their mostly angsty teen/redneck fanbase to play Fuckin' Hostile.
The album also contains two bonus songs. The first one, Where You Come From, is alright, but not memorable. Plus it tends to drag on at just over five minutes. The second song, I Can't Hide, is actually fairly good, and gives the album fairly redeemable qualities. It's a mid-fast paced tempo thrash song with bass piece in the last 20 seconds of the song. By no means is it a masterpiece, but considering some of the other stuff on here, it's pretty good.
All in all, not a good album, but considering that Vinnie and Dimebag were probably three sheets to the wind on Blacktooth Grin when producing this, it's not a bad introduction to Pantera. If you are new to metal or Pantera, or if you are one of those angsty teen/redneck fanboys I talked of earlier, get it. Otherwise, you are wasting your time.

Answer #1Oakman September 17, 2009, 14:26Master
Your best bet for replacing the rear window on your 1993 GMC 1500 pickup would to talk with your local mobile windshield replacement people, the rear window may be glued in the same way the windshield is glued in. The code 43 is related to the knock sensor circuit. Check the connection at the knock sensor which is located near the starter. If the connection is damaged or loose it will need to be repaired. If the connection is OK then chances are you have a faulty knock sensor. If you find you need to replace the knock sensor please note that when you remove the old knock sensor coolant will flow out of the hole. If you have the new sensor ready to install and you are quick you should not loose much coolant.

'Double' miscarriage of justice victim Martin Foran speaks
A man who claims to be the UK's only victim of two miscarriages of justice has said he wants an apology.
Martin Foran, 69, an Irish father of five, was convicted of robbery in 1977 - a crime he denies. Within weeks of his release in 1984 he was arrested again and later convicted of robbing a pub in Birmingham.
This second conviction was declared unsafe and quashed by the Court of Appeal in April.
Mr Foran, who is terminally ill with cancer, is awaiting a ruling on the earlier case.Innocent man
The Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) will rule on the 1977 robbery next week.
Mr Foran's dying wish is to go to his grave an innocent man.
He is annoyed that his wife, Valerie, and children have had their lives overshadowed.
West Midlands Serious Crime Squad
- The West Midlands Serious Crime Squad was involved in the convictions of the Birmingham Six
- The six men served 96 years between them for a crime they didn't commit - the bombings of two Birmingham pubs
- A total of 33 appellants have had their convictions involving the squad quashed
- Scientific tests show statements made were altered
- Malpractice identified by a West Yorkshire Police inquiry found physical abuse of prisoners, fabrication of admissions and planting of evidence, as well as mishandling of informants
In his ruling at the Court of the Appeal on the 1984 case, Lord Leveson said the CCRC had found problems with "the credibility of the principal police witness, Detective Inspector Paul Matthews... of the now notorious West Midlands Police Serious Crime Squad".
Mr Matthews resigned from the force in 1986 after he was demoted for disobedience. Another officer, Det Con Christopher Preston, kept custody records in his drawer for 14 years.
In the 1990s, a West Yorkshire Police inquiry found malpractice in the force including "physical abuse of prisoners, fabrication of admissions, planting of evidence and mishandling of informants," which led to a series of "unsafe" convictions, such as the Birmingham Six.
Mr Foran said there were problems with the case from the moment he was arrested.
He said that during a court appearance, one of the men convicted of the 1984 robbery said: "What's he doing here? You've got the wrong man."
Mr Addison said the man described an accomplice as "some kid called Martin". At the time, Mr Foran was in his 30s.Badly beaten
Mr Foran said because of the convictions of the Birmingham Six he claimed many prison officers disliked the Irish and he was physically attacked.
It was "a living hell and no human should be allowed to live like that".
He went on hunger strike and endured beatings, which led to much of his stomach being removed and a priest called to give him the last rites. Returning in agony, he said he was refused further treatment.
Such was his despair, he said he was driven to take a prison officer hostage to force the prison to provide medical care. As a result, he was given extra time on his sentence.
Breaking down, he said it was "like being in the fires of hell for 18 years".'Where's the justice?'
During the appeal, he was supported by Birmingham Six miscarriage victim Paddy Hill whom he befriended.
After he was cleared, he felt no elation, just anger that it had taken so long to prove he was innocent.
Speaking about the 1984 case, Assistant Chief Constable Sharon Rowe said: "The officers involved in the case have since retired or left the force and a number of lessons have been learned since the original investigation was undertaken in 1985.
"The public should be reassured that West Midlands Police expects the highest standards of professionalism from its officers and staff and as such we have robust management and anti-corruption measures in place."
Mr Foran added: "I don't think my family has got justice. Where's the justice?"

The Holocene Storegga Slide is one of the world's largest exposed slides and also the most studied of all the Norwegian slides. However due to its complexity it is far from being fully understood. Three-dimensional (3D) seismic combined with swath bathymetry data from the southern flank of the Storegga Slide have been used to study mass movement processes occurring in the region. The high spatial resolution provided by the 3D seismic data has allowed a detailed geomorphological analysis of sedimentary and deformational structures. The Holocene Storegga failure affected a significant part of the studied area. The predominant feature is a compression zone, comprising two lobes, where the seabed shows marked parallel ridges. Down slope it is possible to identify another compression zone. A relative chronology of events was established and it is proposed that these two compressions zones are the result of gravity-driven slope failures related to different stages of the Holocene Storegga Slide.

Private jets starting to take off again
Private jets, largely grounded by the recession, are taking off once again — a sign that businesses may be feeling more confident despite the still shaky economy.
JSSI, a company that arranges maintenance for hundreds of corporate aircraft, saw an 11.4% increase in flight hours in the first three months of this year vs. that period last year. In April there was a 7% jump in flying time among its roughly 1,300 customers, compared with April 2010.
The findings mirror those of other analysts who say that after a steep decline during the economic downturn, and after a public backlash against corporate excess, private jet travel is making a comeback. Still, it's way off from its peak.
"We are not back to late '07, early '08 levels, but we're really off the bottom of where we were," says Lou Seno, president and CEO of JSSI. "In the fall of 2008, following the decline of the financial markets … flying literally fell off the charts, and because of the economy and everything else, it has been slow to recover. But the recovery we're seeing has been encouraging."
Industry analyst Brian Foley noted that private flying has been increasing since March 2009, when the departures and landings of business jets had plummeted 35% from their peak in April 2008. It's now down about 10% from that high point, he says.
Certain players in the private plane arena, such as charter operators and fuel providers, are doing better than others, Foley says.
"Those folk are all seeing some early recovery in the industry," he says. "However, aircraft manufacturers, those who make business jets, they're still far from recovery."
During the first quarter of the year, shipments of general aviation aircraft dropped 4.6% compared with 2010, according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, and billings plunged 19.6%. Piston-engine planes, the smallest and least expensive of aircraft, represented the bright spot, with shipments rising 13.3%. Turboprops, however, dipped 6.7%, and business jets plummeted 22%.
Many corporate jets were parked during the economic downturn — not just because of corporate financial concerns, but to quell the public outcry sparked when heads of the nation's Big Three automakers arrived in Washington by private plane in 2008 to seek government help for the industry.
The memory of that controversial trip has faded, observers say. And businesses are recognizing that private jets are sometimes necessary to drive profits, enabling employees to make multiple meetings in a day or travel in and out of markets with few commercial flights.
"It appears that people are getting back to doing business and out using their airplanes for the purpose which (they're) … meant to be used," Seno says. "For guys who have to go out and make it happen, the only way to do it is in a corporate airplane, where you can get in and make five stops in one day."
But like the stuttering economy, private flying has yet to hit full throttle.
"I think business aviation is looking like the broader economy," says Dan Hubbard, spokesman for the National Business Aviation Association. "You're seeing some indications that (give) you reason for cautious optimism, but (there's) a lot of mixed signals."
Many fliers are continuing to try to be as efficient as possible, experts say.
"They're still doing things intelligently," Seno says. "They put six people on an airplane and see 12 customers in two days. We hear those stories all the time."
"I think people were trained to economize in the recent economy, and habits are hard to break," Foley says. "I think it will be awhile before we get back to full use of business jets, but we're definitely moving in the right direction."

Expanded duties latest political win for Gloria
"He was pretty shy when I first met him," she said. "In the years he was there, it was clear he had great leadership abilities — but that wasn't apparent at first."
In a band of ambitious, competitive, whip-smart high schoolers, Gloria listened more than he spoke. But as the program progressed, so did Gloria's leadership skills. As a senior, he led a protest against a city law banning commercial carwashes — including fundraisers by student groups.
The law's rationale: Runoff water sweeps oil, soaps and other pollutants into storm drains and then into the sea.
Gloria's rebuttal: "It's an insane law," he told a reporter in 1995. "The cars are going to be washed anyway. Why not let us wash them and make money?"
He took this public stand, even though he had been taught that he was all wrong for politics.
While still in high school, Gloria took a community-college class in political science. "Kids," the professor said, "there's two things you can't be if you ever want to be an elected official. Number one is gay."
"I don't remember what number two was," Gloria said last week, "because I was astonished that he would say that, even in the early '90s."
Going public
Entering the University of San Diego as a freshman, Gloria decided he'd had enough of secrecy: "I went there with the purpose of being out and comfortable."
So he campaigned to change the name of the gay students' organization from the cumbersome Student Alliance Embracing Sexual Orientation to the punchier USD Pride. He worked to change the campus' nondiscrimination policy to include sexual orientation. The latter happened the year after his graduation.
By then, Davis had left the Price program and won election to Congress. In 2001, Gloria began a nearly seven-year stint on Davis' staff.
"He was a good caseworker, he could engage with our constituents," Davis said. "He was a fast learner and I think he went the extra mile."
In 2007, he began mulling a run for City Council. During his 18-month campaign for the District 3 seat, he knocked on an estimated 25,000 doors, from Hillcrest to City Heights. He stressed public safety, infrastructure and accessibility. The first-time candidate was organized, persistent and, one of his opponents said, fair.
"He's very articulate, real smart," said former councilman John Hartley, who ran against Gloria in 2008. "I've always found him to be very gracious, very friendly to me. If Bob Filner had had some of those kinds of skills, he probably wouldn't be in the trouble he's in."
After winning the 2008 contest, Gloria was unopposed in 2012.
Hartley gives Gloria high marks for constituent service. He returns calls, attends neighborhood meetings, stays in touch. While he claims membership in the Democratic Party's progressive wing, Gloria has been criticized for ties to local power brokers — in 2011, The Reader called him "The Golden Boy of SD Developers," citing campaign contributions from prominent contractors, real estate agents and developers.
Some Democratic partisans charge that Gloria, who is as conciliatory as Filner could be abrasive, doesn't fight hard enough for liberal causes.

is Tuesday
The Primary Election is set for next Tuesday, May 20 with a school levy and statewide, legislative district, county and judicial offices up for election.
School District #242 has a supplemental levy election with an amount of $350,000 being asked for. This is $37,000 less than last years override due in large part to the district taking the funds from the sale of the old Kindergarten building and spreading it out over this and the next 2 years to reduce the levy amounts.
There are two contested judicial elections. In the Second Judicial District John Bradbury is seeking to unseat incumbent Jeff M. Brudie. For the State Supreme Court, William Breck Seininger is seeking to unseat current justice Joel Horton. The other judges, two each for the second judicial district and the state supreme court, are unopposed.
In the main primary the Democratic ballot has just 3 contested races, all for statewide offices.
William Bryk and Nels Mitchell are both seeking the Democratic nomination for Senator.
Ryan Andrew Barone and Shirley Ringo are both seeking the Democratic nomination for First District U.S. Congressman.
A.J. Balukoff and Terry Kerr are both seeking the Democratic nomination for Governor.
Deborah Silver and W. Lane Startin are both seeking the Democratic nomination for state Treasurer.
The Republican ballot has a lot more contested races with at least 4 candidates vying for the nomination in four of the statewide races.
The Republican ballot also has the only contested race at the County level as Abbie Hudson is challenging Deanna Hall for the Idaho County Treasurer position. Hall was appointed to serve out the term when Sharon Cox retired.
The Republican ballot also has the only contested race for a state legislative position as Shauna Hillman is challenging incumbent Shannon McMillan for District 7, Position A State Representative.
To the statewide races. Jeremy T Anderson is challenging incumbent Jim Risch for the Republican nomination for US Senator.

If not.. What do you usually have for breakfast?
Muesli and yoghurt
bread and milk...I usually wake up with no hunger.
I have a toast with jam and oil or butter, cofee and sometimes orange juice.
My breakfast is bread with cheese and ham or butter with tea or milk with cereals :D
Usually cereal with milk, sometimes toast.
I like quinoa with cinnamon and milk, also add frozen bluberries to it.
cheese, tomatoes pumpernickel and green tea.
Nothing fancy here in Ukraine.
But from experience, most nutritious breakfasts I've ever had was Moroccan.
Bread, pancakes, eggs, jams, mint tea - you can easily survive most of the day on that.
I don't always eat the same thing for breakfast. I actually ate rice for breakfast this morning, with napa kimchi, natto, and Japanese pickled cabbage. It usually depends on what is in the kitchen and how hungry I am when I wake up. Sometimes I eat a giant salad with kale, spinach, and other vegetables, or I might eat toast with honey, an egg, and some fruit. Sometimes I might make oatmeal with fruit and maybe a little peanut butter, or have a bowl of cold cereal with milk. On rare occasions, I might eat pancakes or waffles. I usually drink tea or coffee with my breakfast.
I think I will not survive the day without eating rice in the morning. If we don' eat rice in the morning we will be very hungry at 10:00 am.

Barry Ritholtz on the Big Picture blog delves into a new article in "Scientific America" titled The Neuroscience Science of Bubbles and Busts. The article, which he calls "fascinating stuff," is a look at the "worst economic crisis since the Great Depression," from the perspective of understanding how financial markets work relative to how people make decisions about money, and specifically the "Money Illusion," that results from most people not accurately realizing how inflation affects everything from home values to the price of milk.

Nurse Anesthesia or Dentistry? Which career choice would you choose?
- 1Jul 18, '09 by Canadian eh?First of all, here is a little background on me: I am have just gotten my degree IN psychology from a Canadian university, cGPA: 3.6, science GPA:3.4. For the past year, I have been looking into 2 main careers: Nurse Anesthesia and Dentistry. Why?, because I do have interest in what both fields entail after shadowing the professions, and I also like the fact that they offer a flexible lifesyle, involve a great deal of importance in health, and they earn decent money. Heres the problem: I am having trouble weighing the pros and cons of each othe careers against one another...so I was wondering if some of you could be gracious enough to give me some insights into your thoughts (about pros and cons of these careers) and which of the careers you would choose and why?.
Thanks in advance for all prospective insight, its greatly appreciated!:redpinkhe
- 1Jul 18, '09 by CPhT2RNstudentDentistry I would imagin would involve more debt. Also you would likely have to buy your way into a practice. Your patients would be awake the whole time as well. On the bright side your patients are usually healthy and you have much less risk for malpractice. Also the job of a dentist is probably less stressful. What pro's and con's have you come up with? Do you plan to practice in Canada or the USA?
- 0Jul 18, '09 by CrufflerJJOne "con" that I've heard re: dentistry is that many of your patients will dislike/fear you. Not you personally, but the general "Dentist" person. My dentist is a very nice, gentle guy, but I still HATE going to the dentist (I don't like folks messing around with my teeth, injections/fillings/...). Some people in dental school have difficulty in dealing with the patient fear/hatred aspect of the job.
- 1Jul 18, '09 by wtbcrna, MSN, DNP, CRNA GuideQuote from CPhT2RNstudent1. You might have the potential for more debt going to dental school, but there is usually a lot more financial aid for medical and dental programs than graduate nursing schools.Dentistry I would imagin would involve more debt. Also you would likely have to buy your way into a practice. Your patients would be awake the whole time as well. On the bright side your patients are usually healthy and you have much less risk for malpractice. Also the job of a dentist is probably less stressful. What pro's and con's have you come up with? Do you plan to practice in Canada or the USA?
2. There are a lot of dentists that are actually in the OR one or two days a week and not just OMFS, so no not all your patients will be awake. You would have to learn to do dentistry on awake and anesthetized patients. You would also need to learn how to safely perform moderate sedation yourself while performing dental procedures. It is my understanding that most dentists don't perform moderate sedation themselves d/t the liability, but it is still taught.
3. I am not sure about the malpractice part, but anesthesia is one of the safest specialities. The one quote for CRNA malpractice average I saw was about 5000 a yr which most employers will cover for you. For dentists the quote I saw was for 2000 a year for 3mil worth of coverage. How healthy your patients is directly related to where you practice. For example: A CRNA that practices exclusively in a same day surgery clinic is unlikely to see very many truly sick patients vs. a CRNA that practices at a public inner city hospital where ASA 3-4 patients may be more the norm. The same goes for dentists if they choose practice in the private sector they may have relatively healthy patients, but they may also choose to work somewhere for public programs like IHS/USPHS/BOP/indigent health etc. where the majority of the patients could be quite sick.
Just my 2cents....
- 0Jul 18, '09 by SurvivorRNIts going to be hard to get a good and fair response because u are asking a bunch of people in the nursing field ( Who know a whole lot more about nursing than dentistry) to choose betweeen dentistry or nursing ( A field that they are familiar with).Last edit by SurvivorRN on Jul 18, '09 : Reason: m
- 1Jul 18, '09 by SweetSueAfter you read the nurse perspective, perhaps you could get valuable feedback from dental students at the Student Doctor Network forums: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/
- 0Jul 18, '09 by JubilayheeI would go for dentistry,, as it is less convuluted to get into dental school, they have more seats than crna school, all you need is pre med classes, decent grades, and then you apply in. Nurse anestheisia is more of a convuluted route, you need a really high gpa to get in, at least a 3.4, you need to spent time in the icu where you have to do cna work as well as rn work, it is more of a convulted and difficult path in my own opinion.
- 0Jul 18, '09 by basketcaseAs a dental hygienist going back to school for my RN degree, I have some background. The decision depends on what you want in the future. As a dentist, they typically have a private practice and deal with all the staffing, payroll, building maintainance plus daily financial goals of the practice. Most dentists do well chairside but have a hard time dealing with staff, and the business side of the practice. It is no picnic. The economy affects the practice. If patients get laid off from their jobs, having their teeth cleaned or proceeding with restorative work is not a priority for most. "No show" patients cost money. Bills still need to be paid. Staff want yearly salary increases to keep up with inflation, however if your practice is not meeting or exceeding financial goals, that will not happen. I hate to say it but "money makes the practice go round". If you want dentistry but hate the business aspect, you might want to think again. I left dentistry because of the economy. All the automotive companies letting so many employees go has reduced the demand for hygienists. It is so sad. I love the interaction with patients so I will graduate next May with my RN and a new way to help patients.

So Tom Herman's O just ran up 59 points on a defense coordinated by a college teammate of his? Cold.

|There's really only one long-time head coach in the game
Frank Beamer has been at Va Tech since 1987.
The next in the longevity game are Bob Stoops (hired 12/1/1998) and Kirk Ferentz (hired the day after Stoops). Gary Patterson was elevated to head coach of TCU when Dennis Franchione left for Alabama after the 1999 season.
Those are the only four head coaches in D-I who were leading their current teams at the start of the 2000 seaon.

|The current roster plus McGary would put us even with Wisconsin
Horford didn't like the job of being a big man in Beilein's offense. So depending on how kindly you regarded him, he either was introspective or mopey. He had his moments but I noticed him committing cheap fouls all the time, which cuts against Beilein's strategy and probably led to a lot of criticism. I bet he would still be splitting starter minutes if he were here, but it would be with Doyle and not Morgan.
A healthy McGary would be a real difference maker with his mobility and passing. Alas it was not to be.

|Hoke is a Director of Football Operations who gets $4.3 mill/yr
If all Hoke had to do was hobnob with alumni and recruits and clap encouragingly on the sidelines, he'd be a champion. Unfortunately for him, head coaches are expected to set strategy and direction, motivate their players and staff to develop their skills and field a team that wins games.
At my company we have employee scorecards that serve as the basis for evaluating performance. The accountabilities on the scorecard are in descending order of importance. He's doing okay at some of the items further down the list, but bombing at the top three or four. There are also competencies that show what knowledge, skills, and abilities someone needs to succeed in the job. In this case, things like intelligence, ability to think on one's feet, adaptability, spoken and written communication, etc. He would have been lucky to get an interview for the job based on qualifications, and Brandon pretended that he was an ace hire.
We're paying for filet mignon and getting low-end hot dogs. That's some great value right there.

|Does it make a difference where the receiver caught the ball?
If he had caught it behind the line of scrimmage, would that have made the blockers' actions legal? If so, then the design of the play was totally flawed, because he could have walltzed into the endzone if he caught it behind the line. The difference was only about two yards.

|I went to the game at Northwestern in 1992
They already had Barnett but they still sucked. Michigan didn't bring very many cheerleaders, and they were doing the backflips from a standing position on the sidelines. Well, we scored a lot - 40 points. My quick calculation says they did a total of 173 backflips, spread among only 8-10 cheerleaders. They were pretty beat, having to help eachother get full rotation instead of crashing to the astroturf on their knees.

Police said there were no casualties so far, but there was a chance that more people were trapped under the rubble.
The districts were surveyed for weak structures; fishermen told to keep off sea
From October 19, healthcare professionals from around the country will begin to be trained in handling Ebola.
The cyclone claimed eight lives and forced over seven lakh people to take shelter in camps.
NDRF jawans are conducting search operations in Kharkutta area of the district where the highest casualties took place.
In Kamrup (Rural) rescue operations were on and the situation was improving gradually with no rains.
NDRF and SDRF personnel are already operating in Goalpara, Dudhnoi and other places to evacuate the marooned people.
The official further said that the Centre team also visited the Rambagh Bund area where the local youth were "very agitated."
So far, only 11 bodies have been recovered, while search for remaining victims is still on.
Several residential colonies were inundated even as the civic administration braced itself for a flood-like situation.
The locals apparently wanted the NDRF men to concentrate on a particular area.
The worst floods to hit the state in six decades have claimed nearly 200 lives.
J&K floods : 65 killed in 24 hours; Met says highest rainfall recorded in the state since 1992
Officials say continuous rains blocked oxygen supply to people who were trapped under the rubble.
Bodies of 50 men, 64 women, 20 children found so far; NDRF continues search.

Man, I am going to miss this passport when it's time to renew it in a few years. It has all my stamps in it!
Time is growing short and we're making the final preparations to leave the country.
In an unexpected turn of good fortune, I found my Flip Mino. It had been lost for several months. I thought it must have fallen out of my pocket while out and about and lost forever. As it happened, I was looking for something else the other day and my search lead me to look under the couch, and there was the Mino. A good omen!
We'll be doing a final check of all system before departure and then I am off to do my final Technology Bytes show of the year tonight. Geekradio on Xmas eve promises to be a lot of fun so tune in if you are near a radio or stream it live from kpft.org.
I'll be updating here during the trip as often as I can with photos, videos and commentary. If you are on twitter go ahead and follow @baldheretic as I hope to "tweet" with some frequency.
Wish us luck!

How hard is it really to get a 4.0 in Nursing school - page 2
I've switched from being a chemistry major to a chemistry minor and am now actively pursuing a BSN at UTA. I have 3/4 of the pre-reqs completed, currently hold a 4.0 and have a long term goal of becoming a CRNA in the far off... Read More
- 0Apr 28, '12 by JasmijnDepends on the school. I know people at other schools that have done it or come close. At LA County College of Nursing, it can't be done. I talked with one of our instructors after graduating about this -- she told me, in all seriousness, "but nobody ever gets higher than a 3.5 in any nursing school!" and I couldn't get her to believe that people in other schools do.
We all came in with at least near-4.0 on prerequisites (had to, to get the points to be admitted) but only 3 in our graduating class finished with a GPA of over 3.0.
It does actually make a difference to some jobs: we found that some do ask for transcripts as part of the application process, and some New Grad programs (like Cedars) require at least a 3.5. And of course going on to BSN or MSN programs, that's an issue too.
So if this is an overall concern to you, see if you can find out what the high/average GPA of previous classes was in the school you're considering. And keep that in mind as you progress.
- 1Apr 30, '12 by ~PedsRN~I graduated as valedictorian... My final GPA was 3.9. DAMN YOU A-'s!!!!!! *sobs*
I will say that nursing school taught me early to let go a little of my TYPE A need to succeed. Sometimes you have to just realize you really did do your best and that will have to do.
- 0May 7, '12 by SerenePeachOut of my bsn class of approximately 100 people, there were five of us that graduated with a 4.0. It was tough but certainly doable.
- 0Jun 1, '12 by BaltimoreHonGetting A's in my BA/Sociology curriculum was a piece of cake. Getting straight A's in my ADN/nursing curriculum almost drove me insane! It was the most challenging thing I ever did but I graduated really feeling like I accomplished something remarkable!
- 0Jun 1, '12 by edmiaI think it absolutely depends on the school. My nursing school required >94% for an A, so even though I had a 92 in one class, it counted as a B+ and my gpa dropped to 3.89 at the end of school. Post nursing school I have a 4.0 easily as an A is the normal >90%. Thank you for some sanity!In any case, if you are single, have no kids and no other job to deal with, then push for the 4.0. If you have a life outside of nursing school, have a more realistic goal like gpa > 3.7.
- 0Apr 27, '13 by cardiacqueen, BSN, RNNope, it's not impossible! I kept a perfect 4.0 until halfway through my junior year. I ended up getting 2 A-'s, it was heartbreaking for a perfectionist like me because they were both right on the borderline, but as you know there is NO ROUNDING OR EXTRA CREDIT in nursing school! I'm graduating this week with a 3.98 - with the same honors I would have graduated with if I had 4.0 . Work hard but don't stress if you break that perfect 4.0! A high GPA is a high GPA .
- 0Apr 27, '13 by Kimberlyace@BenTram
Set your goals high and die trying! I want to compliment you, that CRNA is an AMAZING goal. My dad went back to school and dominated his CRNA program - at 40! If you push yourself hard for a 4.0 in nursing school, it still will not touch the intensity of a CRNA school. Thats not to scare you- but I watched my dad go through the program during my teenager years. He taught me to go after your dreams, no matter what challenges you have. But note, his program only took 500 applications, ALL with 3.8-4.0+ GPAs, and they only took 28 of them. Know your odds, but find your momentum and do not give up!
In regards to the grading average of nursing school, I feel it absolutely depends on the school. I first achieved my ADN and am pursuing a RN-BSN program. My schooling for my ADN felt like an impossible wall to achieve an A. We had a passing rate of 60% (or less) in all of our medsurg classes. However, my Cs on my transcripts does not reflect the fact that in my graduating class, starting at 185, only 76 graduated. It was survival of the fittest. I'm not happy about what these grades will do for my future ambitions of continuing school. But I survived! I heard most people that do a full 4year track often have a much higher GPA. I might like to included, 4yr-track programs most likely have more adequate educators facilitating the program than my crappy ADN program did.
Good luck!Last edit by Kimberlyace on Apr 27, '13 : Reason: spelling

big thank you
I just wanted to write a big thank you to those on this board with great suggestions and feedback. We were so used to Grand Floridian but decided to try Beach Club for our last minute trip (week before Xmas). Wow... we had the most amazing time. We would go to bus early in the morning (no crowd) and short walk to station with no trouble at all (for MK). It was so nice walking to Epcot each day or afternoon and taking the boat to DHS.
Even though it was freezing that week(we drove down from NE so we had our winter coats.. thank goodness), the kids still got to take a swim on the day before we left. They loved it.. met other kids to play with and had a blast.
The room was great. We had a garden view but when I checked in I asked the front desk person if they could upgrade us to Lagoon view. They had two Lagoon view rooms avail. We loved it... had a great view of Boardwalk and rooms were so close to steps to main lobby. The rooms were in great condition and we liked the decor.
I was so surprised how quiet it was at night too(in our room). We didn't hear much noise even though we were close to lobby.
The Marketplace was convenient and staff very helpful and friendly. Even walking around the property... staff was super super nice.
I already booked our next trip in June this year (didn't tell DH yet),
Thanks Beach Club.
Glad that the board was able to help you maximize your vacation and ensure a wonderful time.
Too often we hear from those who had problems and not enough from those who had a great time! So glad that things worked out for you and that our members were able to help. Kudos to all!
Yay!!! :woohoo::banana::woohoo::banana: I am so glad you had a great time!
We are going to be staying at the BC in Oct and this makes me look forward to it even more.
Glad that you have a great trip! BC is very nice and we love that it's so close to the International Gate in Epcot.
Glad you had a great trip. The BC is a beautiful resort.

Overlay AuthoCast: Distributed Sender Authentication in Overlay Multicast
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Multicast services raise significant operational and security challenges not only when deployed on the Internet layer, but also in overlay networks. Large P2P groups as emerging from IPTV applications may be abused by unwanted traffic or denial of service attacks through amplified flooding. This paper introduces a distributed, autonomously verifiable scheme for multicast sender authentication, which does not depend on pre-established trust relationships. Based on cryptographic identifiers and passport packets, any overlay peer is enabled to verify the origin of data prior to forwarding and to repel its misuse. Dynamic ingress filtering and individually established gradual trust allow for a lightweight protection of the distribution system in structured overlays.

Windows 7x64
i have a few issues which have just recently occurred , I dont think they are related as they have been at different times.
Issue one:
My monitor sometimes wont display my desktop when i turn it on , its not every time just certain occasions , I hear the windows jingle but no display , i have to unplug the power cord to the monitor or even sometimes reboot the machine. I have a Dell Ultrasharp U2711 connected via display port at 2560x1440 using a Radeon 7970.
Issue Two.
I just recently re-formatted my pc to do a clean install of win7 Ultimate , Now when i boot up and after the diagnostics screen is done it halts and asks me two select what operating system to use the options i have are two Windows 7 options???????????
Issue 3.
I have just installed ( yesterday ) a seagate barracude 3tb Hard Drive to my rig ( my Mobo has it can take 3tb+ HHD ) , booted up with no issues , Windows recognizes is it around 2.7tb which is fine , so i transferred some movies across to it , about 1tb worth , when i next rebooted i got a MBR1 error and was told to insert a floppy , After tinkering around with the bios , ie removing my overclock from 4.5 to stock it started to boot into windows , but the system felt really sluggish. Now every time i reboot it takes for ever to load , when it displays "loading windows............" i get a blank black screen with increasing "............... " til the dots get half way across the screen then it boots.
Any ideas??

I "dig" your user name, get it DIG!!!
Ah well, I can give you a solution to 1_
I had exactly the same issue whenever I plugged and unplugged in Dell UltraSharp, which is connected by DisplayPort. When I connected and disconnected I heard the familiar Windows sound - the one that you get when connecting and disconnecting a USB device!
Low and behold I put the issue to the forums, and got all kinds of responses, that didn't help me find a solution.
Nobody ever says really force both ends of your DisplayPort cable into both the graphics card and the monitor. In my case the cable wasn't pushed into the monitor hard enough.
Once I made this discovery I disconnected my monitor, got some wire cutters and chopped out a bit of the plastic ("casing") around the port - which then made it easier to insert the DisplayPort cable all of the way.
Good Luck,

Norwegian Spirit Cruise Review by March1967: Barcelona to Venice 12 Days Cruise

Compare Prices on Norwegian Spirit Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruises
Barcelona to Venice 12 Days Cruise
We are a middle aged coupled who like to travel comfortably but not luxurious (keeping everything reasonable to save for our next traveling trip). This cruise was our very first cruise of our lives and we booked it to celebrate our 18th anniversary.
We had an inside forward stateroom on the 9th floor. To our surprise, it was quite spacious for us (we only had each a carry on and a backpack). The room was clean and the staff was wonderful about cleaning up. Each day we come back, the room was tidied up and had a animal towel waiting to great us :). We told the staff not to clean the room everyday since we are rarely in the room to mess anything up. We were our on excursions or doing some activities. He always cordially said it's his job and he wants to do it for us.
Food was good. The Bistro was great with their service. We came in and tried it out one day. They asked us if we were celebrating any occasion. When we told them about our anniversary, they went out of More their way to make it very special for us.
Staff was wonderful (room steward - entertainers) They did their jobs well to make everyone happy. Less
