Killswitch Engage – Disarm The Descent Album Review
That three-second-long shrill shriek at the beginning of "The Hell In Me" marks the very first sound of Killswitch Engage's sixth album, Disarm The Descent. There's no volume fading or short instrumental intro to set the scene, just pure volatility cranked up to 11 from the moment you hit play. It's an entirely appropriate introduction to the record since it announces the return of KsE's original singer, Jesse Leach, to the fold after a ten year absence and last year's departure of Howard Jones.
I hope you weren't expecting a gentle reentry for Leach. Instead of testing the waters or coasting smoothly onto the airstrip, Leach pilots a crash landing on the tarmac, sans landing gear. And while it's an explosive reintroduction, I think Leach's return has unfairly pigeonholed the expectations for this record. Now that the original lineup (plus drummer Justin Foley, who joined in 2003) is back together, a lot of fans want, need and expect this record to sound like 2000′s self-titled or 2002′s Alive or Just Breathing — the latter of which is held up by many fans as the best album KsE has ever made and which, not coincidentally, was Leach's last with the band…until now, of course.
Adam Dutkiewicz must be capable of only writing and producing a single narrowly defined genre of music – that being metalcore.
A founding member of the metalcore blueprint band and flag bearers Killswitch Engage, Adam D. has also staked his claim as the producer du jour of any metalcore act on the scene (for reals, check out that discography). And now he's back with a new side project called Times of Grace. To no one's surprise, it sounds just like KsE – and that's before you are even made aware of the fact that his partner in the project is Jesse Leach, the original singer for KsE.
So while Leach and Adam D. might be calling Times of Grace a project, it'd be more apt to call it a reunion.
All That Remains remind me a lot of Killswitch Engage, and that's even more true on their latest album, For We Are Many.
Maybe it's because vocalist Phil Labonte was the one tasked with filling in for Killswitch on their tour last year when Howard Jones had to sit out due to allegedly knocking up a porn star despite being married. Or maybe it's because Killswitch mastermind Adam Dutkiewicz held down the production and engineering duties for this record. Isn't that nice – two Massachusetts metalcore bands helping each other out? How sweet.
There's two sides to this coin, though. On the one hand, Killswitch Engage is awesome and they are the definition of what good metalcore should be. On the other hand, when you invite comparisons to the gold standard, you put yourself in the position of likely coming up short.
At one point, metalcore was a fresh genre. It even managed to evolve for a while on the merits of adding melodic elements to a sound that had been predicated on the manic ethos of hardcore.
But even the bands that managed to ascend the metalcore mountain, like Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, and Hatebreed, have recently seen their sound stagnate like so many other lesser bands. The whole situation smells of a genre that may have reached its spoiling point, with countless younger bands trying to rip off the sounds of their musical forefathers before the genre itself fades in popularity.
The result has been that the past five years has seen the metalcore genre devolve into an amorphous pool of uninspired and unexciting bands all seemingly playing the same tired songs as everyone else. Norma Jean, while not the worst of the bunch, certainly don't manage to escape this swirling riptide with their fifth studio album, Meridional.
The real reason why Howard Jones had to leave KsE's tour may now be coming to light – and it is tabloid worthy.
Quick recap before I get to the real news so that everyone is caught up.
I went to Killswitch Engage's first show of their headlining tour this winter back on February 4th. After just five days, lead singer Howard Jones suddenly dropped off the tour due to "unforeseen circumstances" as the band's official press release put it. That led to much speculation about Jones leaving the band.
But replacement singer Phil Labonte said that he was just filling in until Howard "gets better," leading most people to believe that he was just hurt or sick. It was then reported that Jones had fallen on some stairs and hurt his back and that was why he left the tour. OK, that's understandable. Still, if that was the case, the band should have come out and said that instead of letting damaging rumors swirl.
But now ThePRP has exclusively learned the alleged real reason as to why Jones left the tour:
Hahaha, who says they don't make rockstar debauchery like they used to?
The pornstar in question is Allie Foster (pictured), who took to Twitter yesterday to announce:
Howard Jones of Killswitch engage, meet TMZ and your bitter baby momma coming with sweet sweet fuckin revenge you dirtbag.
Hmm, that sounds like good inspiration for a Killswitch song, but I digress.
She then goes on to Tweet that Howard is married and that he has been pressuring her to get an abortion. Of course, there is a post on her Twitter today which claims that her account was hacked and that she did not post any of that. So who the eff really knows? I mean she did post a picture of her baby bump.
I doubt this is the end of what has become a wildly interesting story of cover-up and deception. But come on Howard, bag it up next time!
Good thing I saw KsE when I did…
[UPDATE: So it seems like Howard Jones is simply hurt and/or sick. Fill-in singer Phil Labonte had this to say on Twitter: "Yep, I'm singing for KsE until HoJo gets better. Not sure how long it'll be but I'm here till they don't need me anymore." If that is indeed the case, the band should have just come out said that in the first place instead of allowing some of these rumors to swirl. In any case, check out this awesome fan-filmed clip of the band playing "My Curse" during the first sans-Howard show. Labonte didn't know the lyrics yet to this song so he sat it out and the whole crowd just took over. So cool. Original story below.]
So I got to go see Killswitch Engage kick off their new tour in Boston last week, and as I wrote, they put on one hell of a show.
Well, the band announced yesterday that lead singer Howard Jones has left the tour "due to unforeseen circumstances." Here's the entire press release:
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE vocalist Howard Jones is leaving the band's current headlining tour with The Devil Wears Prada and Dark Tranquility due to unforeseen circumstances. All That Remains vocalist Phil Labonte will be filling in for Jones for a few shows in the interim, until the KsE guys can determine what the plan will be for the remaining tour dates, which are currently scheduled to run through the end of March.
No one knows why Jones has dropped off the tour after just five days. Speculation ranges from personal/family issues to Jones potentially leaving the band for good. But again, that's just all speculation.
The ironic aspect is that he's being replaced on the tour by Phil Labonte of All That Remains. You see, when KsE were looking for a new vocalist after the departure of Jesse Leach, it came down to Jones and Labonte, and Jones eventually beat him out for the job. That in itself is what's driving the speculation about Jones being gone for good, but realistically, Labonte is probably just the guy the band is most familiar with and who is most familiar with the band's songs.
Of course, the dark horse explanation for why Jones left the tour is that he couldn't live with listening to The Devil Wears Prada open for him every night. (Rimshot!)
Killswitch Engage, those dyed-in-the-wool metalcore practitioners, began their first U.S. headlining trek behind their latest album on Thursday night in their hometown of Boston at the House of Blues.
And as any frequent concert-goer can tell you, the combination of starting off a tour and playing in one's hometown generally combine to bring out the best in a band (if not some technical difficulties along the way).
KSE are a band particularly known for their live show due in large part to singer Howard Jones and guitarist/general goofball Adam Dutkiewicz. They understand that they are there to entertain and they usually seem genuinely stoked to be on stage performing. Of course, if you aren't prepared to see a tall, gangly guitarist wearing a cape and headband running back and forth across the stage while jump-kicking and simultaneously shredding all while playing songs of a decidedly more serious nature, it can be a bit disconcerting. That's just how KSE rolls; as far as live performances go, fun comes before all else. I know some people who strongly dislike that choice, but I don't have a problem with it. After all, there's always the album itself to go back to if you don't like the band's stage antics.
Anyways, the show started off with a bang as the band hurried on stage and dove immediately into one of their hits, "Rose of Sharyn". Throughout the rest of the set they liberally incorporated cuts off their latest record, playing almost half of the songs from that disc. The new material is not drastically different from their back catalog so it fit in seamlessly.

The main floor display case at Crete Public Library recently held artwork by brothers Ryan and Tim Meder. | Supplied Photo
Updated: February 7, 2013 6:01AM
The main floor display at Crete Public Library recently held the artwork of brothers Ryan and Tim Meder.
Tim said he began creating comic books with over-the-top stories and colorful characters in elementary school. His talents advanced in high school by studying the styles of comic book artists Todd McFarlane and Greg Capullo.
Some of Tim's displayed artwork featured pointillism, which uses simple dots to create a colorful image. He learned about pointillism during a color theory class at Prairie State College.
As a toddler, Ryan said he was influenced by his brother's love for drawing and began drawing comic book characters which, in later years, led him to study artists such as Jim Lee and Roy Lichtenstein. As technology advanced so did comic book art, and Ryan went from coloring with sharpie pens to using the digital coloring tools in Adobe Photoshop.
"His creations are dimensional, colorful and tell fun stories with corny dialogue plus action scenes with dramatic character facial expressions," a library spokeswoman said.
Ryan's display was a culmination of stories that revolve around a galactic wrestling federation. His published illustrated works include "Warchild: Wanted Dead or Alive."

Should I add one more egg, or just not worry about it. It's a cake recipe.
Here's the recipe. I'm going to use lemons though. Orange Pound Cake ˝ pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
TO GLAZE ONE LOAF (OPTIONAL) 1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 8 ˝ x 4 ˝ x 2 ˝ - inch loaf pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper. Cream the butter and 2 cups of the granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for about 5 minutes, or until light and fluffy. With the mixer on medium speed, beat in the eggs, one at a time, and the orange zest. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine Ľ cup of the orange juice, the buttermilk, and vanilla. Add the flour and buttermilk mixtures alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour. Divide the batter evenly between the pans, smooth the tops, and bake for 45 minutes to an hour (mine took 55 minutes), until a cake tester comes out clean. While the cakes bake, cook the remaining ˝ cup of granulated sugar with the remaining ˝ cup orange juice in a small saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves. When the cakes are done, let them cool for 10 minutes. Take them out of the pans and place them on a baking rack set over a tray. Spoon the orange syrup over the cakes and allow the cakes to cool completely. To glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and orange juice in a bowl, mixing with a wire whisk until smooth. Add a few more drops of juice, if necessary, to make it pour easily. Pour over the top of one cake and allow the glaze to dry. Wrap well, and store in the refrigerator. YIELD: 2 loaves

Found this Terri: The majority of cooking recipes will specify for large eggs however, you could use the equivalent in medium or extra large eggs. |
I would add one more yolk. Linda C |
Modern USA Egg sizes: XL eggs weigh greater than 2.25 oz. so a dozen weigh 24 oz+ Lg eggs weigh greater than 2.00 oz. so a dozen weigh 27 oz+ So, 4 XL eggs = 9 oz. 9 divided by 2 equals 4.5 large eggs. I don't think it would make much difference in the recipe. If you had some applesauce you could add a bit, or just a little water, butter or milk if you like, or an extra yolk, or an extra white or half an egg would be more like the recipe intended, assuming it makes a difference. |

terri - coincidentally, I just made Ina's choc cake and was wondering the same thing. I ended up using two large eggs (rather than the extra large she called for) and the cake turned out fine. |
Ina's recipes always call for extra large eggs. I never worry about it, and the recipes turn out fine. With all the butter and cream she puts in her recipes, they always taste good, lol. Sally |
I agree, I'd just use large eggs. I have my own eggs most of the time and the sizes can vary by quite a lot from "medium" to "extra large" and an occasional "double yolker". I just grab two eggs and I haven't noticed any huge problems in my baking. If you think you want that extra bit of richness I'd agree with LindaC and add another yolk, but mostly, I wouldn't worry about it. Annie |

Okie Dokie..I'll give it a whirl..got a fridge full of organic lemons that I got 2 weeks ago.. And this just looked delish! I've already got a few lemon cream cookie sandwiches left in the cookie jar. I made egg nog bread (quick bread) earlier in the week..so what's a bit more sweet stuff in the house. LOL |
Oops, obviously I switched the "dozen" weights! You get the idea, I'm sure. So sorry! |
If the recipe calls for one or two eggs, I just use large....but with 4 eggs, each XL egg weighs about 1/8 more than a large egg and in a recipe calling for 4 eggs that's equal to half an egg. I am sure that from the back of a galloping horse you won't know the difference, baking is not rocket science nor quantative chemistry, but I would add the extra yolk. Linda C |

okie dokie Linda... I'll report my attempt later. Got some errands to run..so pulling out the butter now..then I'm off... |

In the Mobile Internet Protocol (Mobile IP), a home address is the relatively permanent IP address given to a mobile node. The home address remains unchanged no matter where the mobile node is located. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) defines the home address in RFC 2002, IP Mobility Support, which describes an enhancement to the Internet Protocol (IP) that makes it easier to replug a mobile device into networks other than its home network.

Internet routing mechanisms assume that connected devices will always connect through the same point of attachment.

To overcome this situation, Mobile IP and subsequent adaptations such as Mobile IP version 6 (MIPv6) and Hiearchical Mobile IP version 6 (HMIPv6) specify mechanisms for forwarding Internet traffic to an alternate address for the same device (called a care-of address) when it moves to another location.

The canna's I posted about a while ago now have their 4th or 5th leaves just beginning to form. Here are photos of the leaves from the 4 potted plants. The newer leaves all look better than the 1st, but they are not compelely free of spots and stripes. Even the new leaves that are not uncurled still have markings on them. I am thinking this is not good. :c( This one is by far the worst looking plant, but some of the damage might be due to cool nights, not frost though. Bottom leaves are wrinkled, edges are brown, and spots and stripes. Not many leaves out on this one actually: This one is the biggest. The fully open leaf did not have those dots when it first came out. I was hopeful when it opened as it only had one stripe on it. If you look carefully on the uncurling leaf, hard to see in photo, it has stripes on it at the edge: Closeup of another plant and you can see it has the dots. This is the 3 or 4th leaf: A few more shots: Should I be concerned now? If so, should I chuck them and should I chuck the soil and pot too? Thanks! I don't have good feelings about these plants. :c( |

Hmmmmm, it's not looking good to me now. I'm wondering if the exposure to the cold nights was enough to trigger the virus. Here's a website that might help |
Hi Green thumb guy, I am thinking it is time to chuck them. :c( I was really looking forward to having them too, but after this experience I think I am not going to try to replace them. I brought the plants in each night if it got cold out. One night I returned home late and it was already down to the mid 40's, but I got them in. I can't see how the temperature would cause the virus, unless temps down to 50 could cause the plant to mimick the sypmtoms. Ken. :C( |
- Posted by green_thumb_guy Z5 Ont (My Page) on Mon, May 17, 10 at 21:59
Perhaps I didn't say it correctly, but I was wondering if the stress of the cooler temps would allow for the activation of the virus and the signs to show. Sort of like a cold sore. I would chuck it now. I gave up buying bulk tubers this year. Many growers are accepting of the virus do not want to throw a way sick stock. I have 2 varieties to rely on now. :( |
When to a local nursery on Friday and I got excited when I saw a bunch of Canna's in the distance. When I got up to them they all looked as bad as mine. They has about 40 there too! I guess I will not be buying and Canna's from anywhere. I am thinking that sooner or later, even if I get a good bunch, some insect will infect them. :c( |
- Posted by green_thumb_guy Z5 Ont (My Page) on Sat, May 22, 10 at 23:21
I didn't buy any either. Just sticking to my no id and Rainbow -Tropicanna |
Eigdeh, I hate to see you give up on cannas. Firstly, not all cannas are virused. And secondly, if you treat them early with a long term systemic (I use easy-to-use Bayer tree and shrub liquid), your cannas will stay gorgeous all season long. |
I am so distressed to hear the news of canna virus. I have a large area just for cannas, and it looks as if they are all infected. Cannas are such beautiful plants for a large area, both for foliage and for the blooms. What a disaster! I don't know what else I can use that will be as satisfactory for that area. Once cannas were the poor man's landscape pride. Do you think the new strains are one reason for the virus? |
Reading this whole thread over again now, it sounds I recommended Bayer's for virus. The recommendation was for bugs, but systemic will not help with virus. There are clean cannas. I keep hearing there are no cannas not diseased, but that is not true. |
- Posted by green_thumb_guy Z5 Ont (My Page) on Wed, Jun 16, 10 at 9:37
I hope to find some clean , nice cannas north of the border. So far, no luck, except for 2 small dwarf cannas but I did not find them appealing. |
- Posted by tropicalzone7 7 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 16, 10 at 10:35
I have some green colored cannas and dark colored cannas in a big pot with each other. The green ones all look infected but the dark ones look healthy. If I dig up the green ones now do you think my dark colored cannas will be safe from the virus or do you think its too late. Good luck! |
Actually, Lowe's has some healthy cannas and I was surprise. I thought I might have some infected ones but it turned out that the potting soil I started was bad didn't drain right. Once I stuck them outside and cut them, the new leaves were normal. |

I had this gigantic butternut squash, which I had oven roasted for another recipe, so I just went right to the puree part of the recipe, adding the chicken broth and cooked onions to the food processor in batches along with the cream cheese and squash... poured it in the pan, added the herbs and heated through... simple and scrumptious!"
"This turned out just fabulous for a company dinner! To make it main dish worthy, I added small pieces of havarti cheese and a single spinach leaf as I wrapped each ravioli.

Hi-new to this forum hope someone can help. We have a two story deck area and we have some beautiful birds that sit on our rain gutters. They are very small and make beautiful music it echos down our chimney and you can hear it clear as day. But now they are sitting on the railing to our deck and leaving lots of droppings on the deck not to mention landing on the deck down below with our table/chairs and grill. Is there any way to keep them off the railing-it is wrought iron about 1 1/2 inches wide. I do not want to harm them just keep them off the railing and ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Some birds don't like monofilament line. I have seen it strung across decks at restaurants. It would be something to try and would not really be that visually obtrusive. |
Wire a battery to the railing(jk). Honestly, I would do what von suggested. Or get something that is shiny like mylar strips that can blow in the wind to scare them off. |
Sometimes windchimes will work. They may drive you nuts though :). |
Mylar does work, but I reserve that for protecting the nests of native birds. I'm so afraid to desensitize them to the mylar, it is the only thing that keeps them away from the bluebirds and tree swallow nests. |

What about putting a fake owl on the railing? They won't land there if they think they'll be eaten. |
Rubber snakes work well if you can tolerate them on the rail. They need to be moved a little every few days. I have effectively used them in fig trees to protect the figs. Stored them in a paper bag in the garden shed one year. Cleaning out the shed the next spring, I forgot what I had put in the bag. Dumped it in my lap to see what it was. Very exiting morning. BG |

Flowering Cherries in Philadelphia: 100 Years and Going Strong
Saturday, April 12, 10 am to Noon
Gillespie Room, Wister Center and Cherry Border
Flowering cherries have long been a captivating presence in Japan and the US since their introduction 100 years ago. The interest in Japanese flowering cherries in the early 1900s was widespread and these plants came into the US through a number of different sources. Along with the famous plantings in Washington, there is a long history of growing flowering cherries in Philadelphia.
In this lecture, Tony Aiello, Director of Horticulture and Curator of the Morris Arboretum, will discuss the introduction of flowering cherries, focusing on their history in Philadelphia. Along with his interest in the history of cultivation of flowering cherries, Tony has been using the Morris Arboretum's cherry collection as a model for preserving our horticultural heritage and at the same time providing best practices of veteran tree care. He has been working with other botanic gardens in the Northeast to identify, propagate, and share rare varieties of flowering cherries.
After Tony's presentation he will lead us on a tour of the Scott Arboretum's collection in the Cherry Border.
Free and Open to Public. Please RSVP online or call 610-328-8025

Mixed Greens & Roasted Beet Salad
I stopped short right outside the entrance to Satchel's on 6th. Past the threshold, I could see people sitting and sipping wine at a U-shaped bar in the center of the simple, beautiful space, illuminated by the sexy glow of candlelight reflecting off dark walls.

Nicki Minaj Proposal: Singer Spotted With Huge Engagement Ring from DJ Khaled [PIC]
"Will you marry me?"
Those four little words are some of the most powerful in the English language, and it appears that the often times tradition-shaking hip-hop community is no exception. Days after DJ Khaled posted a video asking for Nicki Minaj's hand in marriage, the curvy rap queen was seen wearing an audacious engagement ring.
"Nicki Minaj, I'm at MTV, I'm going to be honest with you; I love you. I like you, I want you, I want you to be mine," the record producer said in a video that was posted on Thursday. "Only reason I'm not telling you this face to face is because I understand that you're busy."
OK, that may not be exactly true considering that Khaled and Minaj work together all the time, but maybe he was just a bit nervous about doing it in person. Then again, some have been speculating that the engagement was nothing more than a thinly-veneered attempt at some free promotion.
"We got the same symptoms, we're both suffering from success...You gotta take your time and think about it, I understand, but I know I have to be here today to let you know how serious I am and how serious this is to me," continued Khaled.
That's right, "suffering from success," which just so happens to be the name of DJ Khaled's new album. What makes the sudden marriage proposal even more fishy is the fact that the record producer and Minaj have never been linked romantically, and his flashy gesture seems to have come completely out of the blue.
After there were some initial reports that Minaj actually had filed a restraining order against Khaled, it appears that she may now actually be engaged to him. She was seen walking out of Crustacean restaurant wearing a huge rock on her ring finger that very well could have been the same one Khaled has proposed with.
So far Minaj has kept quiet on any possible marriage to Khaled or anyone else. She has not formally acknowledged the video outside of retweeting it online, and as the days wear on, it appears increasingly likely that this bizarre episode may be nothing more than an ingenious marketing ploy.

Sulfites are compounds that are used to make foods and beverages last longer. Sulfite sensitivity is an abnormal reaction to these compounds.
Foods that may contain sulfites include:
- Beer, wine, and soft drinks
- Cookies, crackers, pie crust, and pizza crust
- Dried fruit
- Shrimp, lobster, and scallops
- French fries and other food made with peeled potatoes, such as instant mashed potatoes
- Fruit or vegetable juice
- Canned fruits or vegetables
- Syrup and fruit toppings
- Pickles, relish, olives, and salad dressing
- Noodle or rice mixes
- Dried soup mixes
- Deli meats, mince meat, sausages
Many prescription and over-the-counter medications also contain sulfites. Sulfites are also contained in products applied to the skin, such as cosmetics.
It is not clear what causes a sulfite sensitivity to develop. It may be due to genetic and environmental factors.
Risk Factors
There are no known risk factors for sulfite sensitivity. Most people with sulfite sensitivity have asthma.
Most symptoms are mild and can vary based on your body's reaction to sulfite ingestion. It may be one or a combination of the following:
When the stomach breaks down sulfites, it releases a sulfur dioxide gas. This gas can pass up into and irritate airways in some people, such as those with asthma. This can cause symptoms such as:
- Wheezing
- Coughing
- Shortness of breath
Some people may lack the enzyme needed to breakdown sulfites. This can cause:
Some may also have an allergic reaction to sulfites. This means sulfites cause an autoimmune reaction, which may cause:
- Skin rash
- Skin inflammation
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The doctor may ask specific questions about what you were doing when the symptoms occurred. The exact cause may not be clear in the first visit. Your doctor may ask you to keep a diary of your symptoms to help determine the cause.
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested to eliminate other causes. This can be done with:
- An allergy skin test
- Blood tests
You may also be asked to avoid certain foods or beverages for a short period of time to see if symptoms go away. This is called an elimination diet and can help find out what is causing your symptoms.
Symptoms can be reduced or eliminated by avoiding foods or drinks that contain sulfites.
To reduce sulfite intake:
- Read the ingredient label on every food product that you eat.
- Learn the other names for all your allergens. This will help you recognize them on an ingredients list.
- If you go to a restaurant, discuss your allergy with the food server. Ask about all ingredients.
- Be aware that food may become contaminated by shared utensils and containers. It may also become contaminated during preparation.
- Read drug labels carefully. If you have any questions, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
- If you have a severe allergy, ask your doctor if you should carry a dose of epinephrine with you.
Consider wearing a medical alert bracelet to inform others of your allergy. If you have difficulty breathing, call for medical help right away.
Medications may be given or advised to help ease breathing or treat other allergic symptoms such as:
- Antihistamine medication to decrease swelling and itching
- Corticosteroid medication for more severe swelling and itching
- Epinephrine injection to treat a severe, life-threatening reaction
- An inhaler to deliver medication to help open your airways if you also have asthma
If you have a confirmed sulfite allergy, consider seeing an allergy specialist.
There are no known steps to prevent sulfite sensitivity, because it is unclear what causes sulfite sensitivity to develop.

Featured New Releases
Dot da Genius has been side by side with Kid Cudi for several years, producing his breakout single, "Day 'n' Nite" and the hit albums that followed. But don't expect to hear anything like, "Day 'n' Nite," ; this project, named after a Black Sabbath song, is a heavy, noisy rock album. The first single, "Brake," is brooding and Pink Floyd-esque, with the same sort of dirty guitar sound laced throughout the rest of the tracks. The duo heads to Europe in April, with US dates to be announced soon.
If You Like: Kid Cudi, Jimi Hendrix, Pixies
Recommended Track: "Teleport 2 Me, Jamie"
Jason Mraz – Live is Four Letter Word
In a unique take on the "pre-release EP," Jason Mraz showcases what his fans have known for a while – that his live performances are unmatched. Featuring brand new songs off of his upcoming album, Love is a Four Letter World, he extends some of them famous banter, including a shout out to various neighborhoods in his hometown of San Diego, where the show was recorded. He gives great detail during each of the tracks for a truly personal introduction to what is sure to be a big album later this Spring.
If You Like: Jack Johnson, Colbie Callait, John Mayer
Recommended Track: "The Woman I Love"
Anders Parker, Jay Farrar, Will Johnson and Yim Yames – New Multitudes
The 100 year anniversary of Woody Guthrie's birth, and in turn the birth of the American folk scene, is celebrated by a handful of today's notable singer/songwriters with, New Multitudes. The four musicians scoured through volumes of Guthrie's preserved notebooks and assorted bits of paper, assembling choice bits of prose and coalescing them into the 23 tracks available on the deluxe version of the album. It's a subdued affair leaning more toward Farrar's Son Volt or even Will Johnson's Centro-matic than Jim James', (aka Yim Yames') My Morning Jacket. Give James his due though, once again he has chosen excellent bedfellows for a side project following 2009's exceptional, Monsters of Folk.
If You Like: Woody Guthrie, My Morning Jacket, Son Volt

In "Love Will Guide Us," a Tapestry of Faith program
Our Unitarian Universalist beliefs come from Jewish and Christian teachings that tell us to love all others as we love ourselves.
Gather participants at work tables. Invite them each to decorate a Source Star to take home and share with their family. You might suggest they draw a cross and/or a heart to symbolize Jesus' teachings about love. As children work, attach one star that says "We learn from Jewish and Christian teachings" to the Night Sky.
When children are done, gather them in a circle. Say, in your own words:
Today we learned from Christian teachings. Jesus showed his followers how to love others as they would love themselves. He showed how love helps a community and everyone in it.
Indicate the fourth Source words you have posted on newsprint. Invite the children to follow along quietly as you read aloud:
Our Unitarian Universalist beliefs come from the Jewish and Christian teachings that tell us to love all others as we love ourselves.
Pause and invite volunteers to give an example of what that Source means.
If you wish to sing "Our Sources," distribute Session 1, Handout 3 or indicate the newsprint where you have posted the lyrics. Teach/lead the song, with a musical volunteer if you have invited someone to help. You might play the music clip of "Our Sources" for the children to sing along.
Distribute Taking It Home and thank participants.
Save the Night Sky display and the handouts/newsprint to use next time.
At this age, children have a wide range of reading ability. Do not put individual children on the spot to read aloud.

With no help from computer animation or digital magic comes the ASICS Levitation campaign. VITRO San Diego built the world's largest floating shoe for the ad, showcasing a replica of the ASICS GEL-Blur 33. The ASICS Levitation stands at 72 square feet, is made of 3,000 ping pong balls, and hovers 2 feet off the ground.
ASICS Levitation was filmed at a loft near downtown Los Angeles by TWC films. It took 2 industrial air compressors and 24 air valves to ensure that all 3,000 ping pong balls stayed off the ground. You can see VITRO's ASICS Levitation commercial starting the week of April 11th during the NBA playoffs.

The president looked perfectly in sync with his wife, wearing a black suit, white shirt, and red tie. If only all matters of diplomacy could be so smooth.

About UEFA Champions League
UEFA Champions League is a year long tournament where the top European club teams compete for the UEFA Champions League trophy and the title of 'best club team in the world'. The top team from every professional league in Europe is entered into a stage in the tournament and the top leagues will have a variety of clubs entered. The top leagues in Europe will have many teams entered and the champions of these leagues are given an automatic spot in the group stage of the tournament. The champions of some of the smaller leagues must play in the qualifying round and win their way into the group stage.
How it Works
Qualifying Round
There are three qualifying rounds for UEFA Champions League entrance. Ten teams gain entrance into the Champions League group stage through the qualifying round. The first qualifying round usually starts at the beginning of July and the third qualifying round finishes up near the beginning of August.
Group Stage
The group stage begins in mid September and concludes in mid December. The group stage comprises of 8 groups of 4 teams each, for a total of 32 teams. Each group plays a home and away match against each of the other teams in the group for a total of 6 games each. The top two teams from each group then move on to the round of 16 knockout phase of the tournament.
Knockout Phase
The knockout phase of the tournament usually begins in mid February with the first round of 16 matches. Each round the teams play home and away games against their opponents with the winner being decided on aggregate. This continues until the second leg of the semi-final, which usually takes place near the end of April.
The finals of the UEFA Champions League tournament is a winner take all showdown between the two remaining teams in the tournament. The final match is played on neutral soil in mid May. This year the match will take place in Madrid on May 22nd.

Get Ready for the M&A Boom
NEW YORK ( Stockpickr) -- The recession of 2008 and 2009 turned out to be a godsend for many companies. The slowdown provided the opportunity to take a close look at expense structures, and many firms found ample areas to trim down. Those moves led to a steady spike in profit margins and an ever-rising pile of cash. The multi-year restructurings often kept management so busy that there was little time to look outside the business onto the broader landscape.
Yet as we head into the middle of 2012, the corporate playbook may soon change. Companies are now quite flush with cash, but a still-slow economy means further sales and profit gains may be elusive in coming quarters. Remember that top executives are rewarded with a slew of financial incentives to deliver rising sales and profits -- and a growing stock price.
To make that happen, a lot of these executives are now likely to be more susceptible to the pitch from investment bankers. That pitch: "Why not go out and buy yourself some growth through selected acquisitions?" Growth-through-acquisitions has been a proven strategy in past economic cycles, and this one is no different.
>>14 Deal-Ready Stocks for the M&A Boom
Why Now? To be sure, with the exception of energy stocks, there hasn't been a whole lot of deal-making in the past few years. Not only did companies have ample opportunities to reap gains internally, but the broader economic backdrop was just too iffy. Nobody wants to do a major deal if the economy wobbles into recession. If that happened, the acquiring company could end up saddled with just one more headache to deal with. But the economic picture in 2012 changes that view. The U.S. economy no longer appears at risk of slipping into recession, nor does it appear to be on the cusp of a robust upturn that can deliver solid internal growth. This "not too hot and not too cold" backdrop has always proven to be a key catalyst for a rising level of deal-making. In fact, there's another factor that could turn this coming era of mergers and acquisitions into a boom like we've never seen. Though most companies might look to use their stock or cash to make deals, they're also well aware of the fact that interest rates have never been quite this low. Indeed, many cash-rich companies have gone out and sold bonds in recent quarters at very low rates -- simply because they can. As a result, they are sitting on gross cash levels that have never been so high.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I carried the LCR today and I think I am really going to like this little revolver. I used my 20% off discount when I registered it at Ruger and ordered a Mitch Rosen OWB holster. Just have to get a holster for the G26 and I will be good to go. Just thought I would share. Robbie

I had a leak in the ice maker line and didn't know until it was too late. I noticed last week that 6 Brazilian Cherry boards in the middle of the room are cupping very badly. We have open cell foam under the house and the water was dripping through the insulation and down the beams but not actually puddling on the floor inside.
The Cherry is 3/4" thick. Would it be better to let it dry out and sand it down as smooth as possible or take those boards out. The problem is, they go under the kitchen "L" shaped cabinets and granite. |
Follow-Up Postings:
kntry Sorry to hear about your leak and collateral damage The good news is hardwood can be forgiving. The narrower the boards the better the chances are for recovery. Do all that you can to dry out the area - commercial dryers, dehumidifiers - It may take weeks before the boards settle - Other variables are where you live, what season it is. Cupping is not something that can be typically sanded out good luck |
- Posted by kntryhuman (My Page) on Sun, Oct 3, 10 at 13:46
Thanks. The wood is 5" wide, not narrow. I know we won't be able to get all the cupping out with sanding but at least we can take off some of the ridges. We're in southern Louisiana. Right now, the weather is dry and cool, 80's day and 50's night. |
if its factory finished then doing a board replacement is pretty easily done. If its site finished then more sanding and refinishing would be needed. I'd give it a few weeks and see what happens. |
- Posted by woodfloorpro (My Page) on Sun, Oct 3, 10 at 17:53
Get the wood dried ASAP, use a commercial company, Serve Pro etc. The longer you wait the more compression damage to the edges. Once it is dry the floor can be sanded correctly, if needed. Do not sand before it is completely dry. The damaged flooring can also be replaced. Matching flooring is most likely available. |
It can take months (sometimes many moths, and often a heating season) for the moisture to move back out of the wood. Do not be in any rush to try and sand. Once the sanding is done and the wood continues to dry it will have shallow grooves sanded in. If there is enough wood left you can sand it flat again, but watch out for running out of wood over the tongues if the wood is T&G. |

By Loyiso Sidimba (City Press)
Do you wear miniskirts on street corners, lift, lower, "open" your clothes to expose your private parts or breasts and importune would-be clients?Then police have been watching you since September and you may be guilty of being a female sex worker or a prostidude (a male prostitute).
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has given police officers a list of things to note when arresting a "lady or gentleman of the night".
But the Sex Workers Education and Advocacy Taskforce (Sweat) believes the move gives police permission to stalk and even harass sex workers.
Sweat says for a cop to ascertain whether people are frequenting the streets, police will have to wait around for them to appear and then harass them to ascertain their reasons for being in the street at a particular time.
"Police resources should be used to watch out for crimes, not short skirts," the advocacy group says.
Sweat director Sally-Jean Shackleton described the move as outrageous and asking too much from cops.
But the message from police is clear: do not stand on the same street corners on repeated occasions, wear certain types of clothes, accost clients, make insistent requests or wave down cars to draw motorists' attention.
These moves may be used against alleged offenders in court. The NPA hopes the only inference courts will draw on criteria that fit is that the suspect was soliciting sex for purposes of prostitution, an illegal trade in South Africa.
The accused will be guilty of contravening the Sexual Offences Act of 1957, previously the Immorality Act, which made it a criminal offence for black people to have intercourse with whites.
According to the Sexual Offences Act, any person who entices, solicits or importunes in any public place for immoral purposes is guilty of an offence.
It says anyone over 18 who wilfully exhibits him or herself in indecent dress or manner at any door or window or within view of any public street or place is guilty of an offence.
Sweat's Shackleton said despite an April 2009 interdict barring police from arresting sex workers, there was an increase in illegal profiling.
"They're arrested daily, fined (between R500 and R1 000) and verbally abused by police," said Shackleton.
Sweat took Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa, then Western Cape police boss Mzwandile Petros, the Wynberg, Woodstock, Claremont and Sea Point station commanders and the City of Cape Town to court.
They were all ordered by Western Cape High Court Judge Burton Fourie to stop arresting sex workers when they knew "with a high degree of probability that no prosecution would follow such arrests".
The NPA did not respond to requests for comment.
Sweat invites sex workers who experience trouble from police to call its 24-hour hotline for assistance 0 0800 60 60 60.
[This news article was sourced from City Press.co.za http://www.citypress.co.za/SouthAfrica/News/Waiting-Short-skirt-Must-be-a-hooker-20111217]
NPA guidelines encourage the abuse of sex workers
SWEAT – the sex worker rights and health services organisation – have obtained a copy of wording of unpublicized guidelines provided to police by the National Prosecuting Authority, dating from September 2011. The guidelines consisting of a checklist of ten "aspects" which must be ticked before any sex worker is arrested for soliciting– see attachment below.
They show how deeply embedded the police abuse of the rights of sex workers is, and how impossibly expensive and legally uncertain it would be to attempt to enforce the current law.
Quoting from the guidelines, before making an arrest, police must judge that someone is a "known prostitute", "has a habit of frequenting certain streets", has been observed in those "certain streets on numerous occasions", was wearing clothing which was "indecent", was seen walking up to men in the streets in order to accost them, or waved down motor vehicles in order to attract attention, and "lifted/lowered/opened his/her clothing in order to expose his/her private parts or breasts".
Stacey-Leigh Manoek, an attorney at the Women's Legal Centre in Cape Town, said today: "The contents of this document are of great concern to us. In order for police officers to "tick off" every item in the checklist they will have to stalk and harass sex workers. For example, in order for a police officer to ascertain whether a person has a habit of frequenting the streets, the officer would have to wait around for them to appear and then harass them to ascertain the reasons for them being in the street at a particular time. They would have to do this again and again. This form of harassment has been prohibited by the Western Cape High Court."
"Targeting women with low incomes trying to earn money for their families, police are being told to invade privacy, to make impossible judgements and to devote endless time to surveillance. Of course, there are very few convictions, and instead the police feel that such demeaning rules justify their emotional and physical abuse of sex workers, as evidenced by endless stories received by our organisation. Police resources should be used to watch out for crimes, not short skirts. We have just closed the 16 Days of Activism to End Gender Based violence – but sex workers can expect little protection from the police and face daily abuse and indignities. This law is thoroughly discredited, and endangers thousands of women each year. Decriminalisation of sex work will free police officers to tackle real crime like violence against women, and will enable organisations like ourselves to improve the lives of sex workers – it's a win-win solution", said Sally-Jean Shackleton of SWEAT.

[Saturday 17TH December is the International Day to End Violence against Sex Workers. Leading up to that day, SWEAT and SISONKE (the organisation of and for sex workers in South Africa) are highlighting the physically and emotionally violent impact of the criminalisation of the 250 000 plus sex workers in South Africa, their clients and those who work with them. We call for the decriminalisation of sex work, which is proven to protect sex workers, to promote their rights and improve relationships between them and the police.]
