According to the Standard, the High Court, through Justice Cecilia Githua suspended the gazette notice through which Tourism minister Dan Mwazo appointed Mutoko, and members Mr Vincent Watti, Ms Dorah Waruiru, Mr Vincent Mwalenga Mwakia and Mr Nassir Ali Said.
Mutoko, the breakfast show host at Kiss 100, was also blocked from becoming a member of the board of Kenya Safari Lodges and Hotels.

A Prime Minister asking us to save a president, how rare is that especially in Africa?
Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga is leading the charge to get rapper Prezzo win the Big Brother Africa contest which comes to an this week.
Don't sweat it people, we are just getting started although we could have done with some good news from London.
Yesterday, the sole Kenyan boxer repping the country at the London Olympics, Benson Njangiru was boxed out of the games by Egyptian boxer, Hesham Abdel-Aal who proceeded to the last round of 16 of the men's Fly championship by two points.
Rapper Jaguar has rubbished reports that he has vowed to move to Uganda if Prezzo wins Big Brother Africa on Sunday.
Yesterday, a fake Jaguar Twitter account sparked off a storm after it asked Jaguar fans "not to vote for this scumbag".
Whoever is behind the account further tweeted the Daily Nation, KTN anchor Ann Kiguta and events' organiser Big Kev, saying: "BBA? Prezzo a waste of votes… He wins am moving to UGANDA for good…NO VOTES FOR PREZZO BBA"
Maisha inatubamba si siri… Tuko range ya 4.6… Hatujavunja law ispokua ya gravity."
Two of the biggest names in Kenyan music, word play genius Juliani and Calif records' biggest name, Jua Cali team up for what should be the song you will all be rocking to for the next few weeks.
The world renown "Kemboi Dance" was on full display last night after Kenya's Ezekiel Kemboi regained his 2004 title and also won the country's first Gold Medal at the London Olympics.
Kemboi, who is facing assault charges back at home, put all that in the back-burner as he blazed his last 3000m steeplechase race ahead of France's Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad and fellow Kenyan Abel Kiprop Mutai.
So close yet so far. Our boy, rapper Prezzo was within touching distance of the $300,000 jackpot but he lost it to South Africa's Keagan.
After 91 days on lockdown, Keagan was the last man standing and although he didn't look that excited, he will be smiling all the way to the bank.
After Lady May was ousted, whom many in Kenya thought would pose the greatest challenge to Prezzo, a Kenya win looked probable but that changed when he was the second last man to leave the house.
Rapper Nonini has taken on a new role as a radio presenter at OneFM. Nonini, real names Hubert Nakitare has taken over 1-Breakfast which was previously hosted by Marcus Olang' and Tina Kagia.
Tina Kagia, the fast rising radio star, who recently moved to the station from Classic 105 has been moved to 1-Active, the station's Mid-Morning show while Marcus is yet to be given a show leading many to speculate that he has been dropped.
Blow the trumpets, the President is back. Big Brother contestant Prezzo jetted back home this morning after a 91-day stay in South Africa and was met at the airport by an entourage led by his mother and his Makini Music Group signee, rapper Cannibal.
One of the hottest names in Reggae right now, Jamaica's Demarco, is scheduled for a live concert in Uganda next week.
He will be accompanied by Ragga star Wayne Wonder and Kenya's Madtraxx at the KFM sponsored concert to be held at the Lugogo Cricket Oval stadium in Kampala.
Demarco, real names Colin Demar Edwards, is best known for his hit singles "True Friend" and "Show It (So Sexy)" and has been at the forefront of taking the Riddim age to new heights.

W. A. Mozart: La Clemenza di Tito - Cambridge Opera Handbooks (Paperback)
by John A. Rice, Richard Wagner
Format: | Paperback 196 pages |
Not in stock
Usually despatched in 3-5 days
Delivered FREE
in the UK
This is the first book to be devoted to Mozart's opera, La clemenza di Tito. Rice considers the opera from a variety of historical and critical viewpoints. Tito is a political opera. The author examines its origins in the politically unstable Habsburg Empire of 1791, interpreting it as a response to revolutionary threats both inside and outside the empire. Tito is also a literary opera: much of its dramatic power lies in its libretto. Rice analyses Metastasio's libretto and the revised version that Mozart set. The volume explores aspects of Mozart's compositional process, the premiere in Prague, and subsequent critical reception through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In a concluding chapter, Rice reviews recent performances as well as scholarly research that sheds light on the interpretation of the opera. The volume, which contains illustrations of recent productions, a discography, and a bibliography, will be of interest to students, scholars and opera-goers.

Reminder: Unlocking Cell Phones Becomes Illegal this Week
We've always had our concerns about the ridiculous DMCA "exemptions" process concerning circumvention of digital locks. If you don't know, the DMCA has a strict anti-circumvention rule, that says breaking digital locks such as DRM, is itself a violation of copyright law, even if the purpose of the lock-breaking does not infringe on anyone's copyright.
As a sort of "pressure valve" every three years, people can "apply" to the Librarian of Congress for exemptions to that rule.
This, of course, is completely ridiculous and backwards. We need to apply, once every three years, to use legally purchased products the way we want to without it being considered illegal? That's crazy. But it's the way things are set up, and it can lead to some bizarre scenarios.
As we explained last year when the latest round of exemptions was announced, the Librarian of Congress took away the exemption for unlocking your phone... but provided a 90 day window.
That window ends on Sunday. In other words, unlocking your phone on Saturday: legal. Unlocking your phone on Sunday: you probably just broke the law. As the EFF properly notes, this is not what copyright law is supposed to be about:
"Arguably, locking phone users into one carrier is not at all what the DMCA was meant to do. It's up to the courts to decide."
I don't even think there's anything "arguable" about it. Copyright law has no business being involved in deciding whether or not my phone can be unlocked. It's silly that this is an issue. It's silly that there needed to be an exemption in the first place. And it's silly that this exemption is being taken away. It's for things like this that people lose respect for copyright law.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I wanted a durable mixer that wouldn't give me any problems. I am single so I don't use this much (once every other month) I make bread and pizza dough, I got the pasta attachment ( which I love) . When I am making pizza dough (5 cups of flour) the motor sounds like its really straining. Needless to say POP goes the gearbox. I used this three times and blew the transmission. I brought the unit back figuring it was just a bad one, used it four or five times again POP goes the transmission. Wouldn't mind it if it cost $ 20 but it doesn't . I have talked to several other people and their transmission also blew. (NICE) I even heard on a cooking show on how many of these HE had blow up on him. So I guess I just have a pasta machine.

Ukraine's murky future
Russia's relatively calm response following the results of a disputed referendum on sovereignty in two of eastern Ukraine's regions is small comfort to Ukraine or the West, both having declared the vote a sham. But it is something, at least, and should be seized upon to maintain peace and minimize the chances of widespread fighting and bloodshed.
The votes in Donetsk and Luhansk Sunday were said by rebel leaders in both provinces to underscore overwhelming support for self-rule, but leaders in Donetsk went further, declaring it a vote as to secede or to welcome outright absorption by Russia. In Luhansk, leaders announced they will not participate in Ukraine's May 25 presidential election, an event western countries insist is the only means of determining support in that country for a new national government.
Related Items
Russia is urging that discussions on the future of the Donetsk and Luhansk provinces be referred now to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe. The peace plan, being brokered by Swiss President Didier Burkhalter, calls for immediate amnesty, talks on decentralization and on the status of the Russian language.
Late Monday, Ukraine responded that while it rejected the results of a referendum that had no independent monitoring -- indeed, journalists reported ballot boxes were see-through, the vote turnout was wildly overstated and there were instances of double voting -- it was prepared to engage in constitutional talks with all the country's regions on some sharing of power.
It is the first real sign of movement toward common ground from Ukraine and Russia following the overthrow earlier this year of the Yanukovych government, and in the wake of that, the subsequent Russian takeover of Crimea.
The West is anxious about the prospects of federalism in Ukraine, as it is feared it would permit Russia to consolidate its creeping hold on eastern regions where the Russian language and sympathies are highly concentrated.
The way forward for Ukraine now is as murky as was the real meaning of the referendum. Leading up to the votes, opinion polls found the majority of respondents in the eastern provinces preferred a unified Ukraine, and the ballot question asked only if people wanted to move to self-rule. Some voters interviewed said they supported secession and affiliation with Russia; others said that they voted only for greater independence and distrusted the new government in Kyiv that many regarded as the product of an illegal coup backed by fascists.
There is reason for trepidation by the West. NATO reported there was no sign Russian troops pulled back from its border with Ukraine, despite a pledge from President Vladimir Putin to do so.
But Mr. Putin has set out what ostensibly appears to be a calm way forward, seeking to engage Ukraine in peace talks.
Acting Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, while rejecting the demands for independence from Donetsk and Luhansk's insurgents, has now agreed to talk. That can assure presidential elections will proceed. It is also the best hope of suppressing sporadic incidents of violence and bloodshed.
Canada and its western allies need not approve the referendum results in supporting such talks. Indeed, mediated negotiations are the best means to sorting out a possible, workable resolution to the threat of a war no one is prepared to fight.

What conifers tolerate salt spray best? They could be planted in sandy soil or compact clay soil. Zone 6A. Unfortunately, Austrian pines and Japanese Black Pines pines have disease problems in the area. North American natives preferred. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Pinus rigida. Make sure the seed is from coastal sources. Resin |
Good choice, but rather hard to find. |
Go to the coastal pine barrens and collect your own seed? Easy to grow, and collecting your own ensures you are in complete control of the seed source. Resin |
My current plan is to plant some Blue Spruce this spring. (The Bristol County Soil Conservation Office sells them at their Spring plant sale). Then I'm going to plant some Pitch Pines this Fall. (Still looking for a good source for those...the Forest Service of the Tennessee Department of Agriculture sells them by mail order, but I'd prefer to find a good local source.) Ideally I'd like to get a staggered double row of trees, with a row of Pitch Pines and a row of spruce. |

blue spruce is a common term... to picea pungens ... seedlings of pungens vary wildly.. from green to blue ... so dont be surprised.. if some of them.. from the soil conservation district.. are not blue ... if they are not blue.. they will never turn blue ... its genetic ... they cant change from one thing to another.. over age ... this would only be an issue.. if you were collecting cultivars.. and had some expectation of color ... talk with your soil conservation district if blue is imperative ... ken |
I like the blue color, but I also like a little genetic diversity in the local tree population. Does Blue Spruce sound like a reasonable choice for a patch of dense clay soil in a coastal area with a lot of wind and beetles and a splattering of salt spray every couple years? |

i have no clue .. about the salt spray ... but to insure you understand... you are getting Picea pungens seedlings ... you keep calling them BLUE spruce ... a common name.. they may or may not be blue ... and there is nothing wrong with that.. as long as your expectations are set properly ... IMHO ... clay is irrelevant to a tree ... its all about how you plant them in clay ... so as to provide drainage during the transplant recovery period... once established.. a tree can put its roots where it prefers them ... its usually us, who kill them thru improper planting ... and watering ... since you are dealing with the soil conservation district.. what have they told you about your project??? ... they would be my prime source .. as they are local and supposedly knowledge about local conditions ... ken |
Blue Spruce isn't very salt tolerant. Coastal origins of White Spruce would be better, if you can find them. Resin |
- Posted by Ruslan.Hupov (My Page) on Thu, Mar 6, 14 at 13:51
in my climate this Pinus brutia var. pityus, Juniperus excelsa |
White Spruce is more salt resistant then Blue Spruce? That was something I was trying to determine, and got a lot of mixed information. Which is better with wind and clay? Will pinus brutia survive in Zone 6? |

Picea pungens is more salt resistant than Picea glauca. tj |
Here is a link that might be useful: One of many similar lists out there
"Will pinus brutia survive in Zone 6?" No, it won't, zone 7 is its limit (and preferably zone 8); it also doesn't tolerate summer humid / wet conditions, being very much a dry-climate tree. "Picea pungens is more salt resistant than Picea glauca" Depends on the origin of the Picea glauca. Most sources aren't, but coastal sources from e.g. Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, etc., have proven very salt tolerant in tests. Sorry, can't find the reference - it was a study I saw a long time ago.

Pinus brutia var. pityus, withstands temperature drop to - 30C |
"Pinus brutia var. pityus, withstands temperature drop to - 30C" True, but remember, (a) -30°C can occur in a severe winter in zone 7 - there is a big difference between absolute minima (what kills plants) and average minima (what zone numbers are based on), and (b) there is a big difference between a brief -30 followed by warm sun the next day in a dry climate, and -30 during a long period staying sub-zero in a wetter climate where the coldness is kept by snow/ice.

Yes, I understand! in my climate-30C is rare and not prodozhitelno. I'm in zone 6 |

12 The nation or kingdom that doesn't serve you will be destroyed; it will be completely ruined. | 12 For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly ruined. |
13 "The great trees of Lebanon will be given to you: its pine, fir, and cypress trees together. You will use them to make my Temple beautiful, and I will give much honor to this place where I rest my feet. | 13 "The glory of Lebanon will come to you, the pine, the fir and the cypress together, to adorn the place of my sanctuary; and I will glorify the place of my feet. |
14 The people who have hurt you will bow down to you; those who hated you will bow down at your feet. They will call you The City of the Lord, Jerusalem, city of the Holy One of Israel. | 14 The sons of your oppressors will come bowing before you; all who despise you will bow down at your feet and will call you the City of the LORD, Zion of the Holy One of Israel. |
15 "You have been hated and left empty with no one passing through. But I will make you great from now on; you will be a place of happiness forever and ever. | 15 "Although you have been forsaken and hated, with no one traveling through, I will make you the everlasting pride and the joy of all generations. |
16 You will be given what you need from the nations, like a child drinking milk from its mother. Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who saves you. You will know that the Powerful One of Jacob protects you. | 16 You will drink the milk of nations and be nursed at royal breasts. Then you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. |
17 I will bring you gold in place of bronze, silver in place of iron, bronze in place of wood, iron in place of rocks. I will change your punishment into peace, and you will be ruled by what is right. | 17 Instead of bronze I will bring you gold, and silver in place of iron. Instead of wood I will bring you bronze, and iron in place of stones. I will make peace your governor and righteousness your ruler. |
18 There will be no more violence in your country; it will not be ruined or destroyed. and your gates Praise. | 18 No longer will violence be heard in your land, nor ruin or destruction within your borders, but you will call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise. |
19 The sun will no longer be your light during the day nor will the brightness from the moon be your light, because the Lord will be your light forever, and your God will be your glory. | 19 The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. |
20 Your sun will never set again, and your moon will never be dark, because the Lord will be your light forever, and your time of sadness will end. | 20 Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more; the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end. |
21 All of your people will do what is right. They will receive the earth forever. They are the plant I have planted, the work of my own hands to show my greatness. | 21 Then will all your people be righteous and they will possess the land forever. They are the shoot I have planted, the work of my hands, for the display of my splendor. |
22 The smallest family will grow to a thousand. The least important of you will become a powerful nation. I am the Lord, and when it is time, I will make these things happen quickly." | 22 The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am the LORD; in its time I will do this swiftly." |

When we moved to the farm, we had no clear idea of what to do with the property except that we were determined to be good stewards of the land. We had to build fencing to contain our three horses, and modify an equipment shed to provide them with shelter. So here we were, with a beautiful piece of land, and no practical farming knowledge, except for basic horse care. What to do next? I guess the very first thing we did was make arrangements with our wonderful neighbors to cut & bale our hay for us. I was absolutely determined that I was never going to pay for hay again! I think that comes under the heading of "famous last words" because to make hay you need haying equipment....more on that later!
There was an existing chicken coop on the property, so I began to think about keeping chickens. How cool would it be to have my own fresh eggs? Through a friend of mine, I became aware of the ALBC, and their mission to preserve genetic diversity in livestock through conservation of rare and endangered breeds I decided that, if and when, we had livestock I was going to have all heritage breeds. I decided to start with chickens because we had a coop, and they seemed to be easier to begin with than cattle, or sheep or pigs (i.e. I didn't have to build fencing!).
After much research, I chose to have Red Dorking Chickens. The long long history of the breed appealed to the scholar in me. Plus, they were also described as a great all purpose (meat & eggs) breed, and great foragers. I The anglophile in me also liked that they were reported to be the favorite table bird of Queen Victoria. However, it is such a rare breed that finding any was quite a laborious process. I even called the Director of Colonial Williamsburg's livestock program. She referred me to a breeder who sold me my foundation flock.

WSC Avant Bard is looking for a few good Klingons.
The theater company is readying for its second one-night-only "Shakespeare in Klingon" show on March 4 at Artisphere, and it
announced today that it's recruiting as many as four Klingons from the general Klingon public to be extras in the show.
Here's the best part: If you're interested, you'll have to arrive in Dupont Circle between 1 and 3 p.m. next Saturday (Feb. 25), in full costume — awkward for you, but awesome for those of us who've always wanted to be a fly on the wall at a "Star Trek" convention.
At 3 p.m. that day, the theater will pick a few lucky folks to be extras in the play, "Shakespeare in Klingon II: The Wrath of (Michael) Kahn," which sounds like reward enough, but the winners will also get passes to the after party...with Marc Okrand, the creator of the Klingon language.

The iris that started it all for me, "Honeymoon Suite" that I got from Cooley's, just isn't listed in the main catalogs any more. It's a modern iris with big flower head, heavily ruffled falls> Color is a lovely mauve-pink standards and lavender falls. It performs decently in my garden.
I lament the loss of perfectly fine flowers like this one. I don't know that anyone will even buy it anymore if it's not pushed by the major growers. In the race for ever something new, fine garden iris like this one get lost. I love you, Honeymoon Suite, and will do my best to keep you alive and well. I'll propogate you and will pass you on to neighbors and friends so that all might know ye! |

I would love to grow your "Honeymoon Suite"; can send you a Crimson King iris...it is a historic/rebloomer. I love the older ones, too! Peggy |
Blue J Iris sells HONEYMOON SUITE. I have seen it listed with several iris growers listed on AIS Rae Ann |
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.bluejiris.com/
Sorry, I don't like historic iris and there are enough people devoted to them that they are saved, I think. I like the big hyrbrids with big flowers. I don't mind if I have to stake them as long as they are pretty enough. rblegend, thanks for that happy note. Glad some are still selling HoneyMoon Suite. |

I love this one too, but mine has yet to bloom. Maybe next year...Meanwhile, have you looked at Afternoon Delight, or Fox Grape? Lovely iris, but aren't they all? |

Dear Kprp, There aren't enough people in the world to save the many historic Iris facing extinction. The scenario with your Honeymoon Suite is the same with all Iris. Unless it is a color break or a Dykes winner, all Iris are eventually forgotten. I can't tell you how many Iris I'm growing in my own yard that I'm pretty sure are being grown in less than 50 gardens in the United States and unfortunately, if lose that Iris, I can no longer replace it. Plus, as you mentioned with the economy, big company a shifting away from the tried and true varities for more showy flowers that can't survive in harsher climates. A sad, but nonetheless very real situation. Cheers to every Iris that has lost its popularity or existence. Carlos |

Internists Applaud HHS Historic Step to Move Medicare Reimbursement
From Fee-for-Service to Quality
Washington, January 27, 2015 - The Department of Health and Human
Services yesterday outlined an historic acceleration of its efforts to
move Medicare away from traditional fee-for-service and tie provider
physician reimbursements to quality. This sets ambitious but achievable
goals of tying 30 percent of traditional, or fee-for-service, Medicare
payments to quality or value through alternative payment models, such as
Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMHs), Accountable Care Organizations
(ACOs), or bundled payment arrangements by the end of 2016, and tying 50
percent of payments to these models by the end of 2018. HHS also set a
goal of tying 85 percent of all traditional Medicare payments to quality
or value by 2016 and 90 percent by 2018 through programs such as the
Hospital Value Based Purchasing and the Hospital Readmissions Reduction

When Jason Leffler was killed in a sprint car crash last summer, Tony Stewart passionately defended the grassroots racing of America.
LONG POND, Pa. - Dale Earnhardt Jr. traded hats, waited for his cue, and flashed three fingers for the cameras.
Long before Jimmie Johnson arrived on the NASCAR scene, Jeff Gordon was the fastest thing on wheels.
INDIANAPOLIS - The reminders that Jeff Gordon won here 20 years ago plaster Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
INDIANAPOLIS - Juan Pablo Montoya is back at Indianapolis Motor Speedway - one night only, an encore of sorts, in a guest-starring role for Team Penske.
INDIANAPOLIS - Dale Jarrett loved his win so much he had to celebrate it with a kiss.
EDINBURGH, Ind. - Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Graham Rahal are used to occasional fireworks when drivers get upset at the track.
There is no clearer example of the disconnect between NASCAR and its teams then the fight earlier this year over the procedures to cool cars down during qualifying.
LOUDON, N.H. - Brad Keselowski had a couple of impressive performances at New Hampshire. It's the victory celebration that again gave him fits.
LOUDON, N.H. - NASCAR President Mike Helton said Friday there is no animosity from the governing body toward the recently formed, nine-team Race Team Alliance that will collaborate on initiatives and issues facing auto racing.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Mike Helton has seen Talladega Superspeedway's capacity expand in boom times and shrink along with the crowds at one of NASCAR's signature tracks, moving in tandem with the sport's ebbs and flows.
RICHMOND, Va. - Aric Almirola waited two days to experience one of the highlights of his first victory in NASCAR's premier series.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - NASCAR has penalized Kurt Busch and his Stewart-Haas Racing team for failing a post-race inspection at Daytona International Speedway.
When the sky opened for a third time during the rain-rescheduled race at Daytona and teams pulled out car covers to wait out the weather, it seemed the right time for NASCAR to put the Coke Zero 400 out of its misery.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Chase Elliott will replace Jeff Gordon in the No. 24 Chevrolet when the four-time NASCAR champion gives up his seat at the end of this season.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - NASCAR won't change its new championship format, which chairman Brian France said Monday is "overwhelmingly popular" with fans.
Jeff Gordon, with a nagging back injury, a young family he wanted to spend more time with and a phenom waiting in the wings at Hendrick Motorsports, knew midway through last season that he had one more year in him.

In 1967, when the two LPs that comprise this CD were recorded, organist extraordinaire Richard "Groove" Holmes was still riding high from his 1966 hit single "Misty," which climbed to number 12 on Billboard's R&B chart. One of the top names in "soul-jazz," Holmes (1931-1991) was a big man with a sound commensurate with his size. On the first ten selections herein, Holmes grooves in front of a first-call Chicago big band arranged and conducted by Richard Evans, best known for his work with pianists Ahmad Jamal and Ramsey Lewis; on the remainder of this collection the organist fronts a sextet featuring tasty guitarist Wally Richardson. The repertoire tends toward soul and pop hits of the day ("Ain't That Peculiar," "Sunny"), but there are also the straight-ahead Groove-ers ("On Green Dolphin Street, "The Preacher," "I Will Wait for You") and low-lights ballads ("In Between the Heartaches," "Since I Fell for You") that won Holmes the kind of popularity not customarily associated with true jazz players.

I've watched this DVD a few times and I have to say I'm very pleased with it. The case alone is exquisite, with beautiful, dark artwork on both sides. That doesn't compare to the quality of the concert itself, however.
You can tell a lot of money and effort went into this DVD. It isn't your typical filming of a band's performance - there are beautiful lighting effects and special techniques the cameras use to create a sophisticated listening experience that goes along perfectly with the epic sound of Kamelot.
The setlist is amazing, and they probably couldn't have picked a better choice of songs for this time period, having released this after what is considered to be their best album to date, The Black Halo. All the well-known songs are here: Center of the Universe, Karma, The Black Halo, Nights of Arabia, Soul Society, etc. They all sound great and with as much energy as the band puts into them, it's hard to not get into the song as you watch the fans headbang and Khan sing his emotional heart out.
Not only that, but the performance of the band is impeccable. For all female vocals, they have not only backup singers for songs such as Nights of Arabia, but also guest vocalists who appear on stage (Center of the Universe, for example). Even though their appearance is short, they are fully outfitted and sound incredible. One of the guests dances and acts out the intro of the concert, which seques into the first song of the performance, The Black Halo. There's also the appearance of Shagrath in March of Mephisto, near the end of the concert. Great stuff to watch, especially for such a thunderous romp of a song.
As for the band members, almost all of them are at the top of their game. Thomas Youngblood and Roy Khan drive the concert with soaring leads and heartfelt, emotional singing. Oliver Palotai pounds away at the keys while maintaining a perfect balance between synth and the rest of the band, which has been one of the unique characteristics of Kamelot. Glenn Barry thumps away at the bass, though he doesn't get as much time on-screen as the rest of the band. Casey Grillo's performance on drums is amazing, to keep it short. He has a certain versatility about his style that is respectable, and his skill is just awe-inspiring.
I say almost all of them are at the top of their game because Khan is the only one I'm disappointed in. My main gripes with the performance lie with him, unfortunately. One big problem is that he comes in a couple beats too early at the start of Nights of Arabia, which is annoying to listen to (you can even see the audience look a little confused until he gets back into it). The bigger problem, though, is that he can't hit the notes he used to. I don't know if it was just an off night for him or whether or not he was sick or something, but he just couldn't hit the notes. This is really evident in older songs like Nights of Arabia, in which he has to severely tone down the chorus. While he's an incredible vocalist (he's one of my all-time favorite singers, and his switch from operatic and falsetto singing to a powerful howl is chilling), it's no wonder he opted for a more mid-range singing style on the next album, Ghost Opera.
That said, One Cold Winter's Night is still an amazing effort from the band as a whole, and aside from Khan's inability to hit the high notes, I can't ask for any more. The second DVD is crammed with a LOT of interesting stuff to watch, ranging from photo galleries to interviews with the band members. This really marks one of the highest points of Kamelot's career to date. If they had released this after Ghost Opera, some great songs probably would have to have been cut from the concert, so I'm very happy they decided to release this when they did. Kamelot's brilliance and sophistication shine throughout One Cold Winter's Night, and to sum it all up, you simply have to watch this. You'd be missing out on some amazing music otherwise.
On A Cold Winter's Night is Kamelot's second live album, but their first as a live CD/DVD pair; it shows how much they've evolved as a unit in this time, however. The CD version of the night is split into two disks: one thing that can be noticed right away is that the setlist is very heavily slanted towards the Karma era and onward, which is generally regarded as the band's best years. And for Kamelot, there couldn't have been a better time to release a live album - after what has been perhaps their most popular and successful album yet.
The songs are played incredibly well, which is helped out immensely by the clean but balanced production job. Khan and Youngblood stand at the front of the performance with energetic singing and soaring leads, but the other band members hold their own as well. There are quirks about some songs (The slowed-down melody at the start of Forever, for example) that not only are fun to listen to, but also show the band's live versatility. Some of the songs, due to their energy and passion, are even played above and beyond the studio versions (Center Of The Universe, for example).
The centerpiece of the second disk is the Elizabeth trilogy played in full, clocking in at thirteen minutes - a very nice treat for fans. As the first part in a CD/DVD combination, this live 2-CD package is essential for fans of Kamelot, or live power metal in general.

noun \ˈber-əl, ˈbe-rəl\Definition of BERYL
: a mineral consisting of a silicate of beryllium and aluminum of great hardness that occurs in colorless hexagonal prisms when pure and in various colors (as green, blue, yellow, or pink) when not pure, that is valued as a source of gems, and that is the principal source of beryllium
Origin of BERYL
Middle English, from Middle French beril, from Latin beryllus, from Greek bēryllos, back-formation from bēryllion beryl, of Indo-Aryan origin; akin to Prakrit verulia, veluriya beryl
First Known Use: 13th century
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Mineral composed of beryllium aluminum silicate, BeAl(SiO), a commercial source of beryllium. Several varieties are valued as gemstones: aquamarine (pale blue-green); emerald (deep green); heliodor (golden yellow); and morganite (pink). Before 1925 beryl was used only as a gemstone, but since then many important uses have been found for beryllium (e.g., in nuclear reactors, space vehicles, and X-ray tubes). No large deposits have been found, and most production is a by-product of the mining of feldspar and mica. Brazil is a major producer; others include Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia, and the U.S.

I would like to expend my fig tree growing and propagating experiences next year. I am looking for any cuttings you may have and are willing to share. Thank you very much for your help. |

Hi, olympia_gardener: I am new to fig tree growing in ground. I live in Toronto, Canada. The winter is harsh here. I saw this website for free fig cuttings, you can I hope you can get free fig cuttings from USDA, Good luck! Fignewbies |

Hi,fignewbie, Thanks for the info. I was looking at UCD few times in the past few years. I thought it would be more fun to trade cuttings within this community. I got several cuttings from members here already so I am good for now. My fig tree just completely defoliated. I will wait till sometime in Nov. when the weather is for sure not going to warm up to bury it. Many members here have been growing trees in ground in this area so I am pretty sure my tree will survive if I follow their proven methods/steps. |

I took my Charter Arms On Duty out for some practice today.
My carry load is Buffalo Bore standard pressure 158gr LSCWHP.
They are over $1.00 a round, but consistent and accurate. They are very clean shooting with almost no flash.
Here is the first three from the cylinder at 10 yards
The last two
I only fired one cylinder full due to cost.
I had a couple hundred rounds of Blazer aluminum cased +p to try. I found that by the fifth round in every cylinder, the bullet would pull enough to bind up. So after three cylinders, I gave up on the Blazer. No other rounds I have tried pull bullets.
I shot about 75 rounds of +P 158gr SWC. They are mixed brass reloads from the police department.
They are pretty stout, but hit to point of aim and are fairly consistent.
I also shot 100 rounds of Winchester Win-Clean JSP. They hit a little lower than the 158gr loads.
Very light recoil and good accuracy.
The Charter shot great. I could keep all rounds in the center of mass of a B27 target out to about 15 yards shooting double action.

What happened: The Ducks charged out of the gates with two lightning quick drives, relying on runs by Darron Thomas and passes to running backs.
The big play: On third-and-eight from the Arizona 30, LaMichael James bobbled a reception but hauled it in and fell across the 38 for a first down, extending Oregon's second touchdown drive. It was the only third-down conversion the Ducks needed on either possession.
Momentum swing: Arizona converted a fourth down in the red zone late in the period but still settled for a field goal.
Beyond the boxscore: Oregon cornerback Cliff Harris replaced Anthony Gildon with the first-string defense on Arizona's second series.
UO—James 12 run (Maldonado kick), 12:18. Drive: 8 plays, 80 yards, 2:42.
UO—Barner 8 run (Maldonado kick), 7:58. Drive: 10 plays, 72 yards, 2:19.

In Coal Country, A Show Of Solidarity Takes Root
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) â¿¿ Coal country is hurting, and the people who live there want the whole nation to know it.
Thousands of miners have been laid off this year across Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia, many with little hope of getting their jobs back as power plants and the coal mines that once fed them shut down. Now the families, friends and business operators who depend on those miners are planning a multi-state show of solidarity they hope will be heard in Washington, D.C., and beyond.
"No one really hears our voices down here and knows what's going on," says 28-year-old coal miner's wife Tracy Miller of Keokee, Va.
She's working to change that. If all goes as planned, huge crowds wearing miners' stripes and fluorescent "United for Coal" T-shirts will line up Oct. 13 along U.S. Highway 23 from Big Stone Gap, Va., through Paintsville, Ky., and toward Chillicothe, Ohio. They will stretch north on U.S. 119 from Pikeville, Ky., toward Williamson, W.Va. Some call it "Hands Across Coal Country." In Virginia, it's a "Prayer Chain." But everyone knows what it's for: It's to show the rest of America the people behind the headlines from a faraway place. "Hopefully it's an inspiring and uplifting event for the people who were laid off," says 32-year-old Shana Lucas, wife of a coal miner in Wise, Va. "It's just a way as a community to say, 'We can't stop anything. We can't do anything to prevent this from happening to you, but we can stand up for you. We can form a line three states long to show you we care.'" The industry was already enduring a seasonal downturn after a warm winter that kept demand for coal low. It faces growing competition from cheap, abundant natural gas. And it was struggling with the Environmental Protection Agency's crackdown on permitting for mountaintop removal mines and tougher clean-water standards.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
