enTourage eDGe combines Netbook with E-Reader
Why should you buy a Netbook and a Kindle when you can buy a device that combines the two? According to the company enTourage, you can easily do just that for $500 with their new eDGe, which even comes with Linux.
The enTourage eDGe is the first Dualbook created. It includes two monitors and a 10.1 inch diagonal measurement for the LCD touchscreen display with 1024 x 600 pixels, as well as a 9.7 inch diagonal measurement and 1200 x 825 pixel E-paper display for the E-reader.
Connectivity occurs via WiFi, and 3G capability is planned for versions yet to come. The device lacks a hard drive, but has a 4 GB flash memory. Google's Android serves as operating system, and the E-Reader supports the formats ePub and PDF. According to the website, the E-Reader has to charge for 16 hours, in which case the batteries last for 6 hours. The website does not reveal which processor the eDGe is equipped with.
Among the supported audio formats are Mp3,EAV 3GPP, Mp4, AMR, AAC, OGG, and M4A and video formats include 3GP, MP4, as well as Adobe Flash Lite (H.264).
The EnTourage homepage offers the eDGe for $490 via pre-order. As of February 2010, the device will be available as of February 2010.
That author must be a fan of the NOOK... how else could he have read that it takes 16 hours to charge.
I am just anxious to hear how faithful the text-to-speach processor will be. If it is good, I will give up my audible-book subscription and be in "hog-heaven"... -
Entourage eDGe
The eDGe will have a ARMADA™ PXA168 processor. -
enTourage eDGe
I think the specs. suggest that the e-reader side will retain a charge for 16 hours, and the LCD side for 6 hours, not that you have to charge it for 16 hours.

Bolton V Wolverhampton at Reebok Stadium : Match Preview
Bolton V Wolverhampton - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.
Trotters without Wheater
Bolton will be without defender David Wheater when they look to make it seven consecutive npower Championship home wins on Saturday.
Wheater made three substitute appearances before the recent international break having returned from a long-term knee injury but will now be laid low by a calf strain for three weeks.
Wanderers boss Dougie Freedman has full-back Sam Ricketts and forward Craig Davies available once more.
The Welsh duo sat out Tuesday night's 1-0 win over Huddersfield at the Reebok having received red cards during the second half of the 3-2 loss at Charlton last weekend.
Along with Davies' return, Freedman's attacking options are further boosted by Robert Hall after the on-loan West Ham youngster completed a successful week of training.
Midfielders Keith Andrews (Achilles) and Mark Davies (knee) remain on the sidelines alongside right-back Tyrone Mears (illness).
David Davis and Jamie O'Hara are expected to be fit for in-form Wolves' trip.
Davis completed Monday's 3-2 victory at local rivals Birmingham despite struggling with a groin injury, while fellow midfielder O'Hara was forced off just before the half-hour mark due to the dead leg which had threatened his involvement in the first place.
Forward Bjorn Sigurdarson also hopes to be fit to face the Trotters having been sent home from training on Thursday due to illness.
Wolves will be without top scorer Sylvan Ebanks-Blake after he suffered a broken fibula at St Andrew's, ruling him out for the remainder of the season.
The 15-goal striker joins Bakary Sako (hamstring), Carl Ikeme (broken hand) and Dave Edwards (metatarsal) on the sidelines.

British Heart Foundation - Canary Wharf Jog 2014
Superman - aided by a budding Iron Man in the making - were just two of hundreds of fundraising heroes in Canary Wharf last Wednesday.
While the duo were brave enough to don rather hefty outfits for the British Heart Foundation's Canary Wharf Jog 2014, accompanied by Monsters Inc character Mike for company, the remaining 1,500 runners turned the estate a stonking shade of scarlet in the charity's t-shirts.
With the race route slightly amended from 2013's challenge, Wharfers were tasked with completing six laps of the 1.66km course to clock up a 10k distance.
This time round pavements were pounded a little further towards Westferry and, on the other side, towards Wood Wharf as part of a course weaving it's way through the hub of E14.
Last year, more than 7,500 runners from the capital laced up their running shoes to take part in a BHF London Run, raising £330,000 to fund life-saving research into heart disease.
BHF estimates 200,000 people live with heart disease in the capital with more than 6,500 who die each year from coronary heart disease - the UK's single biggest killer.
Louise Hazel, GB Heptathlete and BHF Running Champion, who helped to launch this year's BHF Jog series, said: "Heart disease can affect anyone and strike when you least expect it.
"I should know; I lost my father at just 50 years old.
"This is why I'm lending my support to the BHF's London 10k Runs."
Sign up for the BHF's Victoria Park 10k Run on August 3.

Letters to the Editor - April 3, 2013
Wednesday, April 3, 2013 Yes on April 6
To the editor: Mr. Stambaugh's recent letter, besides being totally inaccurate, is an insult to the town of North Berwick and our town officials. This supposedly family unfriendly town offers numerous ball fields and a playground outside the community center; baseball, softball, T-ball, soccer, and wrestling programs for kids; an annual Christmas tree lighting, Easter egg hunt, and safe Halloween trick or treating event; numerous children's events at the annual Mill Field Festival, and even a children's summer camp complete with field trips, classes, crafts, and even a Last Day Carnival. Many of these events are free with some requiring only a minimal fee. Not bad for such a small town, and the proposed 2014 budget includes funding for a state-of-the-art playground in the center of town. In actuality, more is offered for families than for single adults and senior citizens.
They are also ignoring the fact that the members of the Planning Board are hard-working volunteers, our neighbors who live in North Berwick because they, too, like its small town rural character. This isn't the big city where board members might line their pockets catering to special interests (as has been implied), nor is there any secret plot to allow commercialization to run rampant in town. The empty commercial spaces in town are empty because either they need to be fixed up or the landlords are asking too much rent.
For a group that purportedly wants to "Save North Berwick," Mr. Stambaugh and his group certainly manage to come up with a lot with which to find fault. They have yet to come up with any viable alternatives for increasing town revenues. I urge voters not to let a small group of hysterical homeowners hijack this election. Those who are truly proud of North Berwick and want to see it prosper should vote yes on Question 1 on April 6. Too far
To the editor: In a letter to the editor on 29 March, a resident of North Berwick stated "A supermarket/pharmacy would be a big aesthetic improvement to the junk car lot that currently occupies the site."
9th is all about looks and not heart or town values. People are what makes a town and that is at the heart of the zoning issues. This goes beyond asking you to vote no. I feel an apology should be forthcoming to the owners of the service station. |

Windows Blue (Windows 8.1) might get Start Menu back [Rumor]
Posted By Ashraf On April 20, 2013 @ 5:12 PM In Windows | 13 Comments
Earlier this week we reported about the possibility of Microsoft adding a native boot-straight-to-desktop feature in Windows Blue [2], the next version of Windows expected to debut later this year as Windows 8.1. Now a new rumor is surfacing that not only is Microsoft thinking of adding boot-straight-to-desktop to Windows Blue but Microsoft is also going to bring the traditional Start Menu back in Windows 8.1
Yes, you heard that right. Quoting "sources", ZDNet is reporting Microsoft is "considering" adding the Start Menu and related button back on Windows Blue. It won't replace the Start Screen but rather be an option for users that want to enable it.
It isn't clear if the Start Menu will make it into the first public release of Windows Blue or will be added in with subsequent updates.
Why such a quick change-of-heart on Microsoft's part? No doubt it has to do with the fact that the lack of a Start Menu is one of the biggest reasons so many people have resisted adopting Windows 8… especially Microsoft's enterprise customers, the bread and butter of Microsoft. However, it should be pointed out this is still just a rumor and may never actually come to fruition. But for the hope of all things that are good, I do hope Microsoft gives users the ability to add back the Start Menu.
What do you think? Let us know in the comments [3] below!

Background: Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of cranial sutures early in development. Mice are commonly used to study the mechanisms driving both normal and pathologic cranial suture development. Despite their frequency of use as a model, the time course of bone formation and mineralization during fusion of mouse posterior frontal suture is not well defined.
Methods: To address this, C57Bl/6J mice were euthanized at ages ranging from 6 to 107 days, and the posterior frontal sutures were imaged using micro–computed tomography. Scans were analyzed with an image-processing algorithm that was previously validated with serial histology to quantify both suture fusion and mineral content. The expression profile of genes associated with key developmental time points was examined using real-time polymerase chain reaction in both the bone and the dura.
Results: Results demonstrate that the bones of the posterior frontal suture come together during days 10 to 20 and then increase in mineral content and volume between days 21 and 45. The onset of posterior frontal suture fusion was associated with an increase in cartilage-associated genes on day 12. Later mineralization of the suture was associated with an increase in mRNAs for osteoblast differentiation markers, bone morphogenetic proteins, and bone morphogenetic protein inhibitors.
Conclusions: Complete analysis fusion posterior frontal suture shows that it occurs in a discontinuous biphasic manner. The first phase is from days 10 to 20 and involves production of cartilage. A second mineralization phase from days 21 to 45 was seen with both the imaging algorithm and changes in gene expression.

"Still as good as ever!"
Like I said, this program is still as good as ever!
It still conflicts a bit with SS&D's Tea Timer, but they do work together ~OK~. Can't use Malwarebyte's real time Protection Module with Avast at all. I guess cuz they're doing their jobs *too* well...LOL!
I won't likely be changing my choice of AV on my Windoze machine in the near future as I'm still quite content with Avast!
BTW: The new UI took some getting used to, but that's no biggie, really. I did kinda like the old one because it was different than all the rest.
Updated on May 14, 2010
Updated on May 14, 2010Yep, you got the Pro version which is not free. You have to get the Home version which IS very much FREE! You still have to "Register" it but with Avast 5 that process is very much streamlined compared to 4.x.
People who don't even know how to properly download a program have no business commenting on it!!!!!

The big-races at Epsom's Derby meeting were once again dominated by the Northern Dancer sire-line, with Sadler's Wells' son Montjeu siring the winners of both the Derby (Pour Moi) and the Coronation Cup (St Nicholas Abbey) while Danehill's son Danehill Dancer proved responsible for Oaks victrix Dancing Rain. As we see over and over again, this current near-monopolization leaves the door open for formerly mainstream stallions and lines to shine as broodmare sires. With Pour Moi coming from the tried and tested formula of a son of Sadler's Wells over a daughter of Darshaan and St Nicholas Abbey being produced by a mare from the Sharpen Up sire-line, the Oaks provided a nice reminder of the deceased Irish National Stud stallion Indian Ridge, who enjoyed a terrific stud career and who now ranks posthumously, thanks to Dancing Rain's victory, as the maternal grandsire of an Oaks winner, writes John Berry.
Indian Ridge, who died of a heart attack at the Irish National Stud in 2006 at the age of 21, ranks as the most recent top-class European stallion to have descended in the male line from the Byerley Turk, who has come to be the least prolific of the thoroughbred's three founding fathers. It would possibly be premature to say that this line is in terminal decline (not least because there are several good sons of Indian Ridge at stud) but, even so, the death of Indian Ridge was as serious a blow to its prospects as had been the death of Rubiton in Australia the previous year. However, as Indian Ridge and his own sire Ahonoora both proved, great sires can come from seemingly unlikely backgrounds, so the next great Byerley Turk-line sire could be lurking just around a corner.
If the full extent of Indian Ridge's success at stud was hard to predict (which it was), then even more unexpected was the extraordinarily successful stud career enjoyed by his sire Ahonoora. By the time that Ahonoora retired to stud in 1980 after a productive career spent contesting Britain's top sprints, the future of the Byerley Turk sire-line in Europe appeared to lie in the hands of stallions who were most notable for siring either middle-distance gallopers or stayers. The excellent stallions Klairon and Levmoss (winner in his racing days of both the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and the Ascot Gold Cup and who was shaping as a top-class sire prior to his early death at the age of only 12) had died in 1975 and '77 respectively, but the likes of Blakeney, Luthier and Rarity (and in turn several sons of Blakeney) were all stallions who might be looked upon to come up with Classic contenders. By contrast, Ahonoora, who had won the Stewards Cup at Goodwood as a three-year-old in 1978 and the Group Two William Hill Sprint Championship (which is now the Group One Nunthorpe Stakes) at York at four, was a far less obvious candidate to prolong the line.
That, though, is what Ahonoora did. His sire Lorenzaccio (best known for beating a below-par Nijinsky in the 1970 Champion Stakes at Newmarket) had already been deemed a failure at stud by the time that Ahonoora revealed his speed, having been exported to Australia (where he came up with the 1981 VRC Derby winner Brewery Boy). That, though, did not stop Ahonoora becoming a far better sire than Lorenzaccio had been. In a tragically short stud career, Ahonoora was represented by a host of high-class winners from 1000m to 2400m. These included top two-year-olds such as Park Appeal, Negligent and Princess Athena; sprinters such as Indian Ridge, Statoblest, Princess Tracy and Ginny Binny; milers such as Don't Forget Me, Inchinor and Idris; and middle-distance stars such as Park Express, Ruby Tiger, Topanoora, Noora Abu, Ahohoney, Project Manager and Nashamaa � with pride of place going to the 1992 Derby winner Dr Devious (who is very closely related to Dancing Rain's dam Rain Flower). Several of Ahonoora's sons became good sires and several of his daughters became excellent broodmares (most notably Park Express, dam of the 2008 Derby winner New Approach) but Indian Ridge fared best at stud of them all.
While Ahoonora proved himself capable of siring high-class winners at all distances from five furlongs to a mile and a half, it should have been no surprise that Indian Ridge should have turned out to be a sprinter. Not only was his dam Hillbrow (whose only victory had come as a two-year-old over six furlongs) by the 1971 King's Stand and Nunthorpe Stakes winner Swing Easy, but Hillbrow's dam Golden City (a winning half-sister to the Cheveley Park Stakes and 1,000 Guineas place-getter Marisela) and grand-dam (West Shaw) were daughters respectively of the top-class sprinters Skymaster and Grey Sovereign.
Having been bought as a yearling in 1986 for 22,000 Irish guineas, Indian Ridge was put into training by his owners Sean and Anne Coughlan with David Elsworth in south west England. Elsworth was a perfect man to take charge of an Ahonoora yearling, being a most versatile trainer who would get the best out of any horse, irrespective of his or her distance requirements. Thus it came to pass that Elsworth helped Indian Ridge to develop into a top-class sprinter at a time when the stable star was the champion steeplechaser Desert Orchid!
Elsworth ran Indian Ridge four times as a two-year-old in 1987, with these four races yielding two second places followed by two victories, in six-furlong races at Goodwood and Leicester. These were relatively low-key contests, but Elsworth's patience was rewarded the next year when he raised the colt's sights. The Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot seemed an ambitious start to Indian Ridge's three-year-old season, but he rewarded his trainer's enterprise by beating the Henry Cecil-trained favourite Salse by one and a half lengths. Disappointingly, Indian Ridge raced only three more times that year and failed to finish in the frame, being unplaced in the July Cup (behind Soviet Star), Hungerford Stakes (behind his Royal Ascot victim Salse) and Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (behind Warning).
Indian Ridge's four-year-old campaign was also a light one, but it was less hit-or-miss. Of his three races in 1989, he won the first two, taking the Duke Of York Stakes over six furlongs at York in May and the King's Stand Stakes over five furlongs at Royal Ascot in June. Elsworth had tried him at distances up to the mile of the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes the previous year, but his four-year-old season proved conclusively that tests of speed were Indian Ridge's forte. It was disappointing that the horse again failed to achieve anything in the second half of the season (his unplaced run in the Prix Maurice de Gheest in August was his only start after Royal Ascot) but he had at least proved that he was a very fast horse, if not a particularly durable one.
In many ways, Indian Ridge was an obvious successor to his sire Ahonoora, who had died shortly after Indian Ridge's final race: Ahonoora sustained fatal injuries in September 1989 (at the tragically young age of only 14) at Segenhoe Stud in New South Wales, whither he had shuttled from Ireland's Coolmore Stud, which had bought him for 7 million Irish pounds two years previously once his career had taken off. However, the drawback to Indian Ridge being so much his father's son was that, just as Ahonoora at the outset of his stud career had appeared far from an obvious choice for stardom as a stallion, so it was with Indian Ridge: he naturally appealed to small-scale 'commercial' breeders looking to breed saleable potential sprinters on a limited budget, but he would hardly have been on the radar of the bigger players who aspired to breed Classic candidates. Therefore, just as Ahonoora had retired ten years previously to the Irish National Stud at a relatively low fee of 2,250 Irish pounds, Indian Ridge was recruited by Campbell Stud near Bury St Edmunds in England, to start covering in 1990 at a fee of just 5,000 guineas. Just like Ahonoora before him, though, Indian Ridge soon proved himself to be a far better and far more versatile sire than most people had expected.
It didn't take long for Indian Ridge to demonstrate his merit as a stallion. His first crop of two-year-olds contained the Solario Stakes winner Island Magic (an older half-brother to the terrific stayer Persian Punch) as well as the Group-placed juvenile Fumo Di Londra, while another member of that crop, Ridgewood Ben, won a maiden at Navan by eight lengths on his only start at two before winning the Group Three Gladness Stakes at the Curragh first-up the following spring, beating the high-class four-year-old College Chapel by four lengths. The following month Ridgewood Ben (bred and raced by the Coughlans) finished third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas. By this time Indian Ridge, on the back of his impressive first-season results, had been relocated to his father's former home at the Irish National Stud.
If Indian Ridge's first-crop results had stamped him as a sire with great potential, the feats of the members of his second crop proved that he was a genuine Classic sire. Although the Coughlans had had Indian Ridge in training with David Elsworth, they had sent Ridgewood Ben to be trained in Ireland by John Oxx. They also sent Oxx a home-bred member of the stallion's second crop, a full-sister to Ridgewood Ben. Named Ridgewood Pearl, this filly launched her father into the premier league. A Group Three winner as a two-year-old, Ridgewood Pearl proved herself to be one of the great fillies of the modern era during her three-year-old campaign. Like her father she was an imposing muscular chestnut - and, possibly mindful of the fact that her massive physique put quite a lot of strain on her legs, Oxx only raced her lightly. But when he did send her to the races, the results were devastating. Ridgewood Pearl raced six times as a three-year-old in 1995, for five wins and a second place. Having justified odds-on favouritism by seven lengths in a seven-furlong Listed race at the Curragh on her resumption, thereafter she only raced in Group/Grade One mile races. Consecutively she won the Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh and the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot against her own age and sex before stepping into weight-for-age company to win the Prix du Moulin at Longchamp. Having been surprisingly beaten by Bahri when odds-on favourite for the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot, she bounced back to form to end her career on a glorious note in America at the Breeders' Cup meeting at Belmont Park, beating a typically high-class field to record a two-length victory in the Mile.
The same crop which included Ridgewood Pearl also contained another Classic contender: Definite Article (who had won the Group One National Stakes at the Curragh as a two-year-old) finished second to Winged Love, beaten only a short head, in the 1995 Irish Derby. He went on to show top-class form for a third consecutive season when winning the Tattersalls Gold Cup (then a Group Two race and now a Group One) at the Curragh the following spring. Definite Article, of course, went on to a successful stud career, highlighted by the achievements of the four-time Irish St Leger winner Vinnie Roe.
Like his father before him, Indian Ridge eventually sired a mass of high-class winners over a wide variety of distances. His many good sprinters included the 1997 July Cup winner Compton Place, 2000 Prix de l'Abbaye winner Namid, 2001 King's Stand Stakes winner Cassandra Go, 2006 Goldene Peitsche winner Linngari and 2006 Challenge Stakes winner Sleeping Indian, as well as the durable Tumbleweed Ridge. At a mile, his best winners subsequent to Ridgewood Pearl included the 2001 Sandown Mile winner Nicobar, 2002 Breeders' Cup Mile winner Domedriver, 2003 Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Indian Haven, 2007 Coronation Stakes winner Indian Ink, and the multiple Group winners Handsome Ridge and Nayyir, as well as the Classic place-getters Snow Ridge, Rayeni and Mad About You. Beyond a mile, his stars included 2005 Canadian International winner Relaxed Gesture and 2007 Hollywood Derby winner Daytona, as well as the likes of Indian Creek, High Pitched and his full-brother Imperial Stride, Patkai, Sights On Gold, Campsie Fells and Monturani.
Obviously there are several sons of Indian Ridge who could yet stamp themselves as their father's son as regards continuing the line, even if so far there is no obviously dominant candidate in this respect. Indian Ridge is, though, clearly going to remain a significant broodmare sire for years to come, with Dancing Rain joining a list of distinguished gallopers produced by his daughters which already includes such top-class winners as 2002 Cheveley Park Stakes winner Airwave, 2003 Sussex Stakes winner Reel Buddy, 2004 Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Wilko, 2006 Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Nightime, 2007 Nunthorpe Stakes winner Kingsgate Native , 2008 Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Halfway To Heaven and 2008 Falmouth Stakes winner Nahoodh.
Many breeders, owners, trainers and jockeys around Europe have reason to remember Indian Ridge with fondness - just as so many had previously benefitted from the influence of his sire Ahonoora. None probably, though, will remember him with quite as much affection as Sean and Anne Coughlan, who not only raced him, but also bred and raced his best daughter Ridgewood Pearl. The great jockey Johnny Murtagh will also presumably have a particularly soft spot for him: initially Ridgewood Pearl proved instrumental in propelling his career to the top level, and now Indian Ridge's grand-daughter Dancing Rain has provided him with his first Oaks victory.

The Spain midfielder believes that the champions' first-half display at St James' Park was one of their best of the season as they recovered from their dramatic derby defeat
Manchester City midfielder Javi Garcia believes that the defending champions will be difficult to stop in the race for the Premier League title if they can maintain the form that saw them secure a 3-1 victory over Newcastle United on Saturday.The Spaniard identified Roberto Mancini's team's first-half display as one of their strongest of the season as they raced into a 2-0 lead.
And the former Benfica star, who scored City's second goal, thinks that they can hunt down league leaders Manchester United if they can replicate that type of performance on a regular basis.
2/1 | Manchester City are 2/1 to win the Premier League with bet365 |
"If we play as well as that then we are going to be very difficult to stop. If we continue to have that attitude, we will be very hard to beat.
"The good thing about the Premier League is that anyone can pull off a surprise and there are other teams who can push up the league and challenge for the title. But if we finish above United, I think we will win the league."
Garcia was delighted to see City bounce back so quickly in the wake of their dramatic 3-2 derby defeat against United the previous weekend.
The 25-year-old stressed the importance of immediately returning to winning ways and insists the City players have continued to believe in themselves.
"It's normal to be feeling down after a result like that [against United]," Garcia added. "But we had to lift our heads up. We had to continue to believe in ourselves and remain positive, and I think we have shown that against Newcastle.
"It was an important game after what happened against United. We had to show we could continue to have a winning mentality."

By Bryan Davis Sports Editor Already with a win on Friday night, against Columbus, the West Point Diamond Wave baseball team (4-1) returned to the field on Saturday afternoon for a match with Hamilton. The Green Wave won for the second time in as many days in a 6-4 comeback victory. Following their 6-2 Friday night win, the Green Wave sent Leroy Calvert to the hill on Saturday. Calvert pitched a complete game, throwing seven innings, walking none. He struck out six batters, and only three of the four runs he allowed were earned.
Kicking off their spring season, the Rip Squad 10u baseball team won back to back tournaments. They won the Hansberger Spring Fling in Pontotoc and then the 82 Challenge Spring Fling held in Philadelphia.

By Bryan Davis Sports Editor For many people, Spring Break means a much-needed rest from work or even athletics. For the West Point Diamond Wave team, the week-long holiday will include some much-needed games. Thanks to a series of rain storms, West Point's baseball games have been rained out over the last week. The team is hoping to make up ground over Spring Break in order to be prepared for their first district game on March 22 against Saltillo. "We need to play in a bad way," said head coach Buddy Wyers on Wednesday.

The Thermals' Hutch Harris on How Green Day, 'LARP-Metal' Shaped 'Desperate Ground'
The band's singer-guitarist explains the trio's back-to-the-"gritty and psychotic basics" new album.
The Thermals' Hutch Harris had some small regrets. After 2010's Personal Life — a relatively stripped-down collection of mid-tempo tunes— he quickly realized that what he refers to as the album's "slower, cleaner, and more pretty" sound wasn't where the band's future lied. So he took action: The long-running Portland trio's latest effort, Desperate Ground (due out April 16 on Saddle Creek), finds Harris, bassist Kathy Foster, and drummer Westin Glass relishing in the more ferocious sound of early Thermals material.
Harris called from his Rose City home to talk about J.R.R. Tolkien-influenced German power metal, hugely successful pop-punk, and other curious influences seeped onto the band's new album.
Green Day
"Kathy and I are from the Bay Area so Green Day were fucking heroes. No one should be surprised by that. Dookie is a record we always go back to as an example for how to make a record where every single song is so good. They're just really simple, really effective songs. They're not about showing off. There were a couple of times [on Desperate Ground] where I'll suggest a little bassline to Kathy and it'll be a little Mike Dirnt bassline. In the song 'She' from Dookie there's a couple little runs that he does; it's a call and response between what Billie Joe is singing and what Dirnt's playing. He'll sing a line and then there's this little bass fill where there's no vocals. So there's this song, 'He Will Find Me' [on Desperate Ground], where Kathy totally does that. And then on the second to last track 'Where I Stand' there's this little fill that's so Green Day. I suggested it to her and we all liked it, and then later that night I was like 'That's a Green Day trick!'"
Action Movies
"We wanted to make the record really cinematic. People's favorite record of ours is The Body The Blood and The Machine. To us that's a really cinematic record. It feels like you're in another world. It's this cool work of fiction. We wanted to make something like that. We wanted [Desperate Ground] to be like an action movie. It's not a drama. It's not about morality at all. This isn't a protest record. It's not an anti-war record or a pro-war record. This is entertainment. We wanted to make something violent and dark and really fun at the same time. It's a gritty, pulpy action film. Full Metal Jacket is where we get 'Born To Kill.' Die Hard was a really big influence. The story of the record is one man against an enemy and the elements. Then there's Game of Thrones, Lord of The Rings, I really just like those worlds."
Dragonforce and Blind Guardian
"There's these two bands, one is called Dragonforce and the other is Blind Guardian. We didn't know these bands until maybe four years ago. Whenever we'd have to drive late at night and our friend Jaime, who drives us on tour, was afraid she was going to fall asleep she'd put them on. We called it LARP-metal. With Blind Guardian a lot of the songs are based on Lord of The Rings and things like that. Their chops are fucking crazy. So it'd be like three in the morning and we'd just be like 'Jesus Christ!' We like to rock out, but that shit was fucking insane. One night I was falling asleep in the van and I was kind of dreaming while listening to the music. I sat up in the middle of the night and was like, 'Oh, this is really good!' It took a little while but it was totally beaten into me. I was writing this song a year later, and the structure of the songs and the chords I was using really sounded like a Blind Guardian song. I couldn't fucking believe it. When I first heard these bands, I really wasn't into it. We're huge Metallica fans and I like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, but I've never really been into chops or solos in general. They ended up being a really big influence and it was great. We're never going to end up actually sounding like those bands. So it was cool to get inspiration there because we can never end up being like a rip-off of those bands."
"Kathy's good about laying down a lot of rules for the record. We like to work in a really confined space. Setting a lot of parameters for a project is really good. It allows a lot of focus. Kathy said 'No slow songs.' Personal Life had a lot of songs with just bass and drums but Kathy said that we needed to be loud and fast and noisy. Also, recording on a computer is so weird because you can do infinite tracks. Having more options isn't necessarily good for creating. We did the first record on a four-track so you're incredibly limited to just four tracks. Limits aren't hurting you. It's nice to have options but you don't want too many. It's good to keep it way more simple."
"This record is about killing. [2009's] Now We Can See was about death and to me this record is about killing and violence. It's not about dying or being dead, but the killing that men do. It was kind of a long journey. We like to start with a theme. We don't make concept records, but I like the idea of a record as a total experience instead of a collection of songs that you just happened to write all at the same time. We started with war, but I haven't gone to war and I'm not a soldier. It became broader the more we wrote. I didn't want to write about exactly what's happening in the world today. There were so many shootings in the country this past year, but at the same time there's always shootings all the time. Last year seemed to be a really bad year. But people are killing each other in our country all the time. I wanted to distance this record from Columbine or the movie theater [in Aurora, Colorado] or Newtown. For us it was just a broader vision of the fact that people are killing each other all the time."

NEW BERN, N.C. -- Authorities have accused a North Carolina man of abusing a 10-month-old boy, who is hospitalized in critical condition.
The Sun Journal of New Bern reported that 28-year-old Ishmael Beutel Worthington was arrested by New Bern police Tuesday afternoon. Police spokeswoman Beth Stevenson said Worthington was charged with intentional child abuse inflicting serious bodily injury.
Bail was set for Worthington at $250,000.
Deputy Police Chief Ed Preston said the boy is suffering from shaken baby syndrome. He was taken by his aunt to Craven Regional Medical Center in New Bern before he was transferred to Pitt County Memorial Hospital in Greenville.
Police said Worthington, who lives in the home with two other adults including the child's mother, was acting as the child's babysitter.

Write a ReviewBeautiful Chandelier
By Iqbal B. from Wilton, NY on Jan 21, 2011
Bargain Hunter, Stylish, Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
This chandelier is just perfect for our transitional style dining room. It looks very elegant, and the dome shaped shades give it a modern edge. I love how the crystal is incorporated into the design of the chandelier, giving it a more contemporary look. The instructions aren't the best, but it wasn't too difficult to install. The instructions didn't indicate how to adjust the 5 arms into place, but my husband figured it out. Ordering this product on line was a breeze, we had it within 3 days. I highly recommend this chandelier, it is a good quality product.

Disney has released the first poster (shown here, click for bigger) for The Muppets, the movie relaunch (11 years since the last one!) due out November 23. Here's the plot, from the press release:
On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world's biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary (Jason Segel, movie co-writer) and Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets' former stomping grounds.
To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary, and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate.
How have I not heard about this yet?! My nephew's too young for the theatre, but maybe I can borrow a friend's kids… Nostalgia time!
Oh, it's still early yet — this is going to be a Thanksgiving release, and we've got the summer movie season to get through first. But yeah, I'm eager to see it as well!
The trailer's been released too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CloKbXtD28

and if these words could self destruct
i'd send them deep into your heart
watch them explode like fireworks through your veins
watch the acid eat away at your sunken breath
this isnt the kind of death you expected.
so i'll let loose this curse of mine
let the fucking words seep from my lips
infect your flesh by fingertips
the colour runs from my nails painted black
as those words get stuck in the back of my throat
catch my face and watch me choke
tears sting my eyes, feel them drop to your skin
telling tales of pain yet to begin
watch my eyes grow dull
body fall limp
let go of me and know that i've saved your life
you'll never hear the words that caused my demise
you'll never know the regret in my eyes
i would've changed the world for you
but the roses that turned black over the winter
the chocolates turned bitter and stale
just lived to prove my point
you deserved better.
what do you guys think?

SJMPH Receives Gold Seal of Approval
Start Date
Port Huron, MI…By demonstrating compliance with The Joint Commission's national standards for health care quality and safety, St. Joseph Mercy Port Huron earned The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval.
Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission is dedicated to continuously improving the safety and quality of the nation's health care through voluntary accreditation. The Joint Commission's unannounced, on-site survey of St. Joseph Mercy Hospital occurred November 2010, with formal Accreditation awarded shortly thereafter on November 13, 2010.
"In achieving Joint Commission Accreditation, St. Joseph Mercy Port Huron has demonstrated its commitment to the highest level of care for its patients," comments Mark Pelletier, RN, MS, executive director, Hospital Programs, Accreditation and Certification Services, The Joint Commission. "Accreditation is a voluntary process and I commend St. Joseph Mercy Port Huron for successfully undertaking this challenge to elevate its standards of care and instill confidence in the community it serves."
"The accreditation award recognizes St. Joseph Mercy's dedication to continuous compliance with The Joint Commission's state of the art standards," comments Peter Karadjoff, St. Joseph Mercy Port Huron president and CEO. "The surveyors not only commented on our patient care and safety standards, but equally important the engagement, quality and professionalism of our staff."
"Your team has provided great hospitality, been incredibly gracious, have had terrific attitudes and provided open, honest and direct information regarding your patient care process," commented Mary K. Leonard, RN, one of The Joint Commission Surveyors at the conclusion of the survey. "We have enjoyed our visit and appreciate that your team represents a learning attitude that is very focused on the clinical process."
In addition, the surveyors specifically commented on the St. Joseph Mercy Medical Staff credentials files and associate competency files. "The Medical Staff credentials and employed staff competency files are well done and represent a strong process," stated Louis W. Goolsby, MD, a Joint Commission Surveyor at the conclusion of the process. Competency and credentials refer to the processes in place that ensure consistent overview is followed.
Joint Commission surveyors also commented on the organization's work with health information technology, "Staff are reflecting an excellent job in working with the electronic health record (EHR)," continued Leonard. "In addition, it is clear from our observations that there is a great deal of positive interaction between your medical staff, board of trustees and administration. We have found that this example of strong communication supports excellent patient care."
"We are extremely proud of our entire staff, medical staff and volunteers for their continued dedication to patient care quality, safety and excellence," Karadjoff concludes. "Meeting the strict standards set forth by The Joint Commission in attaining Accreditation is just one more example of that dedication and our culture of excellence."
The Joint Commission's hospital standards address important functions relating to the care of patients and the management of hospitals. The standards are developed in consultation with health care experts, providers, measurement experts and patients. The Joint Commission evaluates and accredits more than 18,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States.
