This has to be one of my best purchases on Overstock.com. It looks beautiful and is crystal clear. The image is not distorted, not tall or fat as some mirrors can do. It came fast and was very well packaged. The box had been treated somewhat rough, but the packing kept it safe. I would highly recommond this product.
I like this mirror a lot. It is larger than most mirrors for the bathroom. It looks great in the master bath. My husband had no problem with hanging it. Delivery was right on time.
I bought two of these mirrors. Redoing both of my bathrooms.I love them. They were packaged great. Not one mark on either mirror. The contractor even commented on the packaging of them. They fit perfectly over the sinks. I am very happy with them. Will be redoing my powder room in the near future and will probably order another one. I ran around to stores looking for mirrors and couldn't find anything I wanted. These were exactly what I was looking for.
Fine quality, classic mirror. Fits well into our slightly retro master bath with brushed nickel fixtures. The shipping was prompt and the packing secure. Arrived in perfect condition. I love the accented work at the top of the mirror.
High quality mirror that really added that something extra to a low budget bathroom remodel; new paint, different shower curtain, and this mirror. I get endless compliments...where did you find this? Easy to install, and I did add clear plastic supports under the bottom of the mirror - makes cleaning much easier.
as above, the distortion was hard to miss ...... that was the deal breaker
These mirrors (I bought 2) arrived promptly, were well packaged with no damage upon arrival. My contractor installed them in my bathroom with ease and they look perfect with my arch window, up high in the cathedral ceiling wall, above them. What a beautiful way to start the morning
We are very happy with this mirror. It arrived well packaged and without any damage. It is exactly as shown only nicer. Quality is great. A bit hard to hang, but otherwise perfect for our needs. I looked for a long time to find a large mirror at a reasonable price and this was easily the best deal we found.
Spent hours and hours on a multitude of Internet sites looking for mirrors for two bathroom remodels. glad i selected this one, i really like the arched top and beveling. my contractor thought the wall mounting hardware was cheap, so he pulled them off and used something else. Looks beautiful... thanks Overstock! Oh, and it was carefully packaged and arrived undamaged.

No. 1 Mount Carmel 21, Brother Rice 10
It was legendary coach Frank Lenti's birthday Friday, but it's safe to say nobody was singing "Happy Birthday" to him in the locker room at halftime at Gately Stadium.
Mount Carmel, the Tribune's top-ranked team, led rival Brother Rice, but it didn't come easily. The Caravan fell behind 3-0 and trailed 10-7 before a pair of touchdowns by Illinois recruit Matt Domer late in the second quarter gave them the 11-point lead.
Domer had an 18-yard touchdown run and caught a 12-yard pass for a score on third-and-goal with 29.9 seconds left before the half. Sal Perez caught a 17-yard pass from Alex Alarcon for the Crusaders' lone touchdown, while Brian Kane hit a 47-yard field goal in the first quarter for Rice.
-Brian Hedger @BrianHedger
No. 3 Montini 13, St. Francis 0
Behind a pair of highlight-reel touchdown plays, Montini gained control of a key early season Suburban Christian Blue Conference gamein Lombard.
The Broncos struggled to move the chains, but Leon Thornton III turned a short screen pass into an 83-yard touchdown late in the first quarter.
Thornton III broke two tackles and raced untouched along the St. Francis sideline for a 7-0 lead. Early in the second quarter, with St. Francis threatening to tie the score, Montini defensive back Derrick Curry intercepted a pass and returned it 92 yards for a 13-0 lead.
St. Francis tailback James Butler had 13 carries for 53 yards, and the Spartans tallied 85 total yards before halftime.
-Bob Narang @bobnarang
No. 8 Glenbard West 23, Lyons 7
After a dramatic 80-yard touchdown run by Leonard Ross gave Lyons an early 7-0 lead, the Hilltoppers scored 23 unanswered points.
Devante Toney and Scott Andrews scored on touchdown runs of 7 and 1 yards; the Hilltoppers got a safety after a bad snap on a Lions punt went into the end zone and Drew Vogg threw an 11-yard TD pass to Connor Schrauth 7 seconds left before halftime.
Glenbard West held Ross to 1 yard after his big run, and Andrews gained 104 yards.
- Bob Hurst @hurstsports
No. 10 Benet 15, No. 9 Crete-Monee 0
The good news for Crete-Monee is it probably won't face a team as good as Benet when it begin its defense of the Class 6A title in a few weeks.
The bad news is the Warriors' 17-game winning streak is 24 minutes from coming to an end.
Benet outplayed Crete-Monee on offense, defense and special teams in building a 15-0 halftime lead Friday night in Crete.
Jack Beneventi threw a touchdown pass, John Duvic kicked two field goals and linebacker Nick Surges and the Benet defense exposed Crete's inability to throw vertically.
Crete's defense played well for the most part, but Beneventi (9-for-19, 86 yards) broke through with an 86-yard drive capped by a 13-yard TD pass that gave the Redwings (3-0) a 10-0 lead.
Benet made it 12-0 on the ensuing Crete possession, forcing an intentional grounding penalty in the end zone on what would otherwise have been a sack.
Duvic kicked field goals of 42 and 34 yards, pinned Crete deep with a 54-yard punt and had three touchbacks.
-Mike Helfgot @mhelfgot
No. 18 Wheaton North 21, Naperville North 13
It's been a mistake-filled, but exciting first half in Wheaton.
Falcons quarterback Clayton Thorson, a Northwestern recruit, has come up with big plays with his feet and arm to offset his one interception. Thorson threw for 116 yards and has run for 50.
He broke a 7-7 tie with a 3-yard run midway through the second quarter. Thorson sparked the drive with a 44-yard run and a 20-yard completion to Jack Kirschbaum.
The Huskies appeared set to tie the score after Desean Brown scored on a dive from the 1. But a high snap thwarted the point-after attempt and kept the Falcons ahead 14-13.
Brown gave the Huskies (1-2, 0-1) a 7-0 lead by returning the game's opening kick for an 84-yard touchdown after bobbling the catch.
Thorson led the Falcons on their final scoring drive in the closing minute. His 56-yard completion to Kirschbaum on third down set up a 4-yard scoring run by Dom Garza.
The Falcons defense intercepted Huskies starter Connor Johannes three times. The first one resulted in a 21-yard touchdown by Billy Buhle to tie it 7-7 in the first quarter.
-Paul LaTour @platour68
No. 19 Downers Grove Norh 0, No. 20 Oak Park 0
The first half of the West Suburban Silver showdow in Oak Park finished scoreless after both teams came up empty in the red zone late in the second quarter.
First, Downers was stopped short on a fourth-and-1 at the 3. Then Oak Park lost a fumble at the 7 with 15 seconds left in the half.
Downers has gained 87 rushing yards on 24 attempts. The Trojans have not attempted a pass.
Oak Park has 88 rushing yards on 17 carries. Quarterback Lloyd Yates has completed 7 of 8 pass attempts for 58 yards with one interception.
-Dave Miller
Oak Forest 14, Lemont 0
The visiting Bengals, who haven't beaten Lemont in their last eight tries, have churned out 181 rushing yards in the first half.
Senior QB Nick Ciufi has run for 101 yards, including TD runs of 3 and 13 yards.
Lemont hasn't helped its own cause, turning the ball over three times, two of which were turned into Oak Forest TDs.
-Phil English @PhillipEnglish
Stevenson 28, Libertyville 0
The host Patriots (1-2, 1-0) found the end zone on their first three drives -- first on a 1-yard plunge by Jack Joseph and next on Willie Bourbon's 20-yard keeper. Bourbon found Cameron Green 2 ½ minutes later on a nifty 45-yard catch-and-run for Stevenson's third score of the first quarter and came within inches of a fourth straight touchdown on the next drive when Matt Morrissey fumbled out of bounds through the end zone after a reception, giving the Wildcats a touchback.
Libertyville (2-1, 0-0) went three-and-out on its first three drives and didn't gain a first down without the benefit of a penalty until its fifth possession.
Faced with the early deficit, Anthony Monken was forced to go almost exclusively to the air. He finished the half 11-for-19 for 85 yards. RB Conor Simpson, who came into the night with 355 yards rushing, was held to minus-3 yards on three carries.
Bourbon has been dynamic for the Patriots, accounting for 319 total yards. He's 9-for-15 for 240 yards and a TD passing and has run nine times for 79 yards and two scores. Green has four catches for 132 yards, and Morrissey has three receptions for 64 yards.
-Steve Reaven @ReavenTrib
No. 1 Mount Carmel (3-0, 0-0) vs. Brother Rice (1-2, 0-0)
The Mount Carmel Caravan aim to make it four straight blowout wins to start the season on Friday night at Gately Stadium.
The Caravan will play host to rival Brother Rice after routing St. Patrick, Morgan Park and Kankakee McNamara ,while allowing just eight total points. Mount Carmel has yet to score fewer than 40 points, while Brother Rice has dropped back-to-back games since opening the season with a 42-0 win against Shepard.
-Brian Hedger @BrianHedger
No. 3 Montini (3-0, 1-0) vs. St. Francis (3-0, 1-0)
The Broncos face a stiff test at home against an improved St. Francis team.
Led by tailback James Butler, the Spartans have won their first three games, including a decisive 49-0 victory over Chicago Christian last week.
Butler's the focus point for Montini's talented defense. Butler has rushed for 547 yards and scored nine touchdowns. He enters the Chicago Christian Blue contest averaging a 13 yards per carry.
Montini's defense, led by Ohio State-bound defensive end Dylan Thompson and big-time prospect Nile Syke, has shut down quality opponents this season, holding Maine South and East St. Louis in check. The Broncos' defense should get a lift with the expected return of Anthony Ferraro and Tyler Quick.
The Spartans have a solid fullback in 220-pound T.J. Jackson and quarterback Zach Prociuk is a running threat. The Broncos won last season's contest 28-7.
-Bob Narang @bobnarang
No. 8 Glenbard West (2-1, 1-0) at Lyons (1-2, 0-0)
Glenbard West will attempt to continue its domination in the West Suburban Silver Conference in a game at Lyons Township.
The Hilltoppers stepped it up defensively last week, shutting out a good Downers Grove North team 21-0. Running back Scott Andrews ran for 122 yards and a touchdown. Glenbard West is averaging 34.3 points per game while allowing eight.
Lyons won its first game of the season last week 31-14 against Leyden. Leonard Ross ran for 225 yards and three touchdowns, including a 63-yard run. The Lions have been scoring, averaging 38.3 points per game, but are giving up a lot of points (39.3 per game).
- Bob Hurst @hurstsports
No. 9 Crete-Monee (3-0) vs. No. 10 Benet (3-0)
Crete-Monee knocked on the door for years before breaking through and winning the Class 6A title last fall.
Coming off a breakthrough season of its own, Benet is well on its way toward establishing itself as an elite program.
The Redwings will travel to Crete-Monee (3-0) on Friday night in one of the more exciting and unusual nonconference matchups of the 2013 season.
Junior quarterback Jack Beneventi's name is most often associated with Benet's success, but coach Pat New's team may actually be stronger on the defensive side of the ball.
The Redwings recorded four shutouts in improving from 1-8 in 2011 to 11-2 in 2012, and they've allowed just 25 points in three lopsided victories this season.
The defending Class 6A champion, Crete-Monee has the area's longest winning streak at 17 games.
The Warriors lost Tribune Player of the Year Laquon Treadwell to Ole Miss, but they returned a host of defensive starters and have major Division 1 prospects at defensive line (Chris Slayton), linebacker (Nyles Morgan) and safety (Omari Stringer).
Crete cruised to victories over T.F. South and Evanston before having to rally to slip past Simeon 14-12 last week.
-Mike Helfgot @mhelfgot
No. 18 Wheaton North (2-1, 0-1) vs. Naperville North (1-2, 0-1)
Wheaton North's goal of winning the DuPage Valley Conference took a blow in last week's loss to longtime rival Wheaton Warrenville South.
Because of that loss, the No. 18 Falcons likely will have to run the table and hope the Tigers stumble at least once in the final six games of the regular season.
The Falcons' challenge starts Friday against visiting Naperville North, which lost 37-28 to Glenbard North last week.
It's the second straight game the Huskies face a heralded Northwestern recruit after seeing Justin Jackson last week. Jackson gashed the Huskies for 332 yards and four touchdowns.
This time it will be quarterback Clayton Thorson looking to attack the Huskies' defense. Thorson has thrown for 754 yards and seven touchdowns, connecting on nearly 60 percent of his throws.
-Paul LaTour @platour68
No. 19 Downers Grove North (2-1, 0-1) at No. 20 Oak Park (3-0, 1-0)
Downers Grove North will try to bounce back from losing its West Suburban Silver opener 21-0 to Glenbard West.
While quarterback David Edwards will attempt to get the option offense back on track, the defense, led by playmaking Vontae Diggs, seeks a return to the form that recorded shutouts against Lockport and Hinsdale South to start the season.
Oak Park is the last unbeaten team in the Silver. The Huskies will try to keep it that way behind quarterback Lloyd Yates, who can run and pass the ball. Jamal Baggett and Mike Hayden are additional threats in the backfield. The Huskies are allowing just 5.7 points a game.
-Dave Miller
Oak Forest (2-1, 1-0) at Lemont (1-2, 0-0)
There have been only two conference champions in the seven-year history of the South Suburban Blue, and they meet at 7 p.m. Friday.
The host Indians have won six league titles, including the last five, while the Bengals last won a league crown in 2007 and finished second to Lemont four times.
Since winning the regular-season title, the Bengals have dropped eight in a row to Lemont, including three playoff matchups. To say Oak Forest is eager to dethrone Lemont would be an understatement.
The return of fullback Matt Barry from an ACL injury has bolstered the Bengals, who are led on the ground by quarterback Nick Ciufia. Oak Forest is hoping a tough early season schedule will help prepare a young defense for a trip to Lemont. The Indians are coming off a tough 28-14 loss to No. 15 Richards last week.
But Lemont's defense, led by Andrew Miller, played a solid second half against the Bulldogs.
And while Lemont's roster is riddled with sophomores, that list includes quarterback Chris Thompson, who proved more than reliable in the loss.
-Phil English @PhillipEnglish
Libertyville (2-1, 0-0) at Stevenson (1-2, 1-0)
After two straight losses to start the season, host Stevenson looks to even its record against North Suburban Lake rival Libertyville.
Stevenson got into the win column last week 48-13 against Zion-Benton, while the Wildcats have won two straight over Westinghouse and Grant by a combined score of 66-27 after a rough season-opener (25-7 loss to Palatine).
Stevenson's propensity to turn the ball over has overshadowed its big-play ability behind junior quarterback Willie Bourbon and receivers Matt Morrissey and Cameron Green.
Bourbon threw three interceptions in the season-opener and three more in the Week 2 loss to Homewood-Flossmoor. The Patriots also have fumbled seven times.
With the problems in the passing game, Stevenson unleashed the ground attack against Zion-Benton, accumulating 347 yards on 49 carries. Michigan State-bound Morrissey (208 yards) and Green (131 yards) both have eight receptions, with Morrissey reeling in three scores.
Morrissey also leads the team with 27 tackles, followed by senior Itai Gerchikov (24 tackles) and junior Jason Vravick (23). Coach Bill McNamara is hoping his team can contain Libertyville workhorse RB Conor Simpson, who has amassed 355 yards and five touchdowns on 48 carries.
In the last two weeks, Libertyville has become better played to its strengths, which has meant scaling back some packages on offense and fitting people into more comfortable roles on defense.
Coach Mike Jones is still playing two quarterbacks -- senior Anthony Monken and sophomore Riley Lees – but Monken has begun to see more time. In the last two weeks he is 24-for-41 for 361 yards and four touchdowns.

'Saturday Night Live': Jason Segel and Cast Member Vanessa Bayer Remember Their 'First Time' (Video)
7:50 PM PST 11/16/2011 by Philiana Ng
The "How I Met Your Mother" and "Muppets" star hosts the NBC show this weekend.
Jason Segel hosts this weekend's Saturday Night Live and the promos have him getting to know cast member Vanessa Bayer rather intimately.
The star of CBS' How I Met Your Mother (and the upcoming Muppets movie) will lead the late-night NBC show for the first time ever this weekend. It should be a good one too, with musical guest Florence and the Machine performing in between sketches. But will Segel's Muppet friends make surprise appearances?
In the promos below, Segel and Bayer (aka Miley Cyrus) do everything from flirt, joke about how simple How I Met Your Mother could be and try to get over the shock of being on SNL.
Watch below:
So far this season, SNL has counted Ben Stiller, Charlie Day, Emma Stone and Alec Baldwin as recent hosts.

Gary, just curious, how frequently does the modem check for config updates?Or does it only check when it goes offline then comes back up? We had a bunch of biz-class locations on Lightning drop offline overnight a few nights ago during what appeared to be system maintenance (all across the county, from New Port Richey to Zephyrhills, I got WhatsUp alerts for all of them) and the next morning they were all screaming at 80 Mbps downstream.
1 recommendation
I think your modem is just *special*.

The Marion County Fiscal Court unanimously approved a resolution concerning the proposed Bluegrass Pipeline Thursday, and magistrates voiced their concerns about the impact it could have on the community and its landowners.
Thanks to slowed spending by cash-strapped state agencies, as well as a small bump in General Fund revenues, state Budget Director Jane Driskell announced Friday that Kentucky state government closed the 2012-13 fiscal year with a General Fund surplus of $70.6 million. Driskell warned, however, in a state news release that the fiscal year that just began July 1 extends the budget cuts that were in place last year, and that state agencies would continue to be challenged to deliver services with fewer dollars despite rising costs.
Kentucky Press News Service
FRANKFORT – To streamline and bolster business development in Kentucky, the Cabinet for Economic Development has created the Office of Entrepreneurship within the Cabinet's Department for Business Development. The office will enhance existing efforts to help businesses at every step of the growth cycle.
The Marion County Fiscal Court is scheduled to meet at 4 p.m. Thursday, July 18.
Items on the agenda include:
- Minutes of the previous meeting
- A contract for services with Lincoln Trail/Marion County Health Department
- Policy handbook revisions for the Marion County Detention Center
- Appointment of Michael Butcher to the Marion/Washington County Airport Board
- Proposal from Trinity video/communications for fiscal court room technology upgrade
- Department reports
Few decisions were made during the July 11 special-called meeting of the Marion County Fiscal Court. However, the magistrates did express their support for a proposal to enter into an agreement with the City of Lebanon to allow residents to dispose of vegetative/non-woody debris.
State Representative Terry Mills used the Friday Forum on July 12 to address the past legislative session and the near future with regards to a special session on redistricting. But the biggest issue for the present is the status of the state's contract with Marion Adjustment Center.
The Marion County Fiscal Court is scheduled to meet at 4 p.m. today, July 11, in a special-called meeting.
The court normally meets on the first Thursday of the month, but since that was the Fourth of July holiday, the meeting was moved to today.
The agenda for today's meeting includes:
- Homeland security grant resolution(s) for the sheriff, city/fire department
- Approval of payment for state contribution for indigent defense
Lebanon residents may soon have a new option for dealing with yard waste. City Administrator John Thomas said the fire department gets frequent requests for controlled burns, which can be dangerous, to deal with tree trimmings and grass clippings. "We think we have a solution. There is no permit required, and there's room at the transfer station [on Fairgrounds Road] to stage this," he told the council during its July 8 meeting.
The Lebanon Tourist and Convention Commission has been searching for a new executive director for months. Monday, they found her, and she was in their own office the whole time. Carla Wagner was approved by a 4-0 vote to become the new director at the commission's July 8 meeting after a 30-minute executive session. Chairman Brad Lanham was not present at Monday's meeting, and two commission seats expired at the end of June, leaving the commission with four members at the meeting.
The Lebanon City Council is scheduled to meet at 7 p.m. Monday, July 8, at city hall.
The agenda includes the following items:

Apple/BMW iPod Joint Venture Confirmed
MacMinute has managed to get a hold of the actual ad that will launch this new product. Here's an excerpt from the ad copy:
"The first seamless integration of iPod and automobile. Connect with your music like never before. With the installation of an integrated adapter developed by BMW and Apple — now available for the BMW 3 Series, X3 and Z4 — you can control your iPod through the existing audio system and multi-function steering wheel. Which means no loss of power. No loss of sound quality. And no loss of control."
p>You can see the actual ad here and read the rest of the story here.
Update: We just received the actual part numbers for the Apple iPod connector for the MINI!
Part Number: 65 11 0 392 138 / Description: IPOD I/F ADAPTER MINI
Part Number: 65 11 0 392 139 / Description: IPOD I/F KIT MINI ADAPTER
Part Number: 65 11 0 393 656 / Description: IPOD I/F CABLE
According to our source "These parts are listed in MINI's internal ordering system. The entire kit will retail for $149 plus installation. Great news.
p>It's great to see this story confirmed as we've been reporting on the possibility for almost a month now!
Update 2: Gadget weblog Gizmodo has some further scoop on the Apple and BMW joint venture to integrate the iPod into the sound system of late model BMWs and presumable MINIs. They are reporting (via an internal source) that only 2002 or later BMWs and only cars with the standard or stock cd players will be able to take advantage of this product. That means a "car with optional built-in Navigation system, cassette deck, satellite radio, or CD change won't be able to use it." It's assumed that these requirements also affect the MINI as well.
They go on to say that installation charges are bring quote at around $235. This, assuredly, is without the actual hardware. Here are some further excerpts from the article:
The iPod slips inside a dock in the glove box and controls are on the steering wheel, and they look to be pretty basic, with only an track up/track down selection and what looks to be a mute button. BMW asks that you create five selectable BMW-specific playlists (probably something like the ones I made in my iTunes picture to the right) on your iPod which are controlled by the 1 through 5 button on the dash, while selecting 6 will play through your entire iPod library. This implies you won't have as much control over your iPod as you would with its native interface. If that's the case, that will be a serious ding against the usefulness of the kit.
If this account is correct this device would be a fairly short sighted implementation of iPod integration. Honestly I'd rather have my ICE-Link or the soon to be released Alpine unit that allows the iPod to be accessed and navigated rather than stowed in the glove box. With 40 gigs of music and 25-30 playlists I can't imagine using my iPod in the way referred to above. It perhaps would work for someone with only 5-10 gigs of music but I would assume they wouldn't be the ones shelling out the big bucks for this kit anway. I think the ideal solution, and perhaps the one everyone was waiting for, would be something that replicates the iPod interface within the controls of the stereo or the steering wheel itself. That being said, I suppose it's probably best to withhold judgment until we get these things in our hands.

The Rockometer: Black Moon Spell by King Tuff
Would Batman still be Batman without Bruce Wayne? Would Superman be the same without Clark Kent? Sure, they'd still be super heroes, of course, they're super and heroic, but without their alter egos their characters would be far less compelling. For two albums, King Tuff's Kyle Thomas pulled off a similar stunt. By day he was a do-nothing layabout who surfed couches and snacked cheese doodles. In his dreams, and on stage, he was a different person. The minute he strapped on that guitar he would become King Tuff, the pin-up idol of teenage girls and the envy of every man who'd ever played to mostly empty, wholly disinterested barrooms.

In an ongoing effort to keep readers apprised of the latest, the most interesting, and most unusual stories in medicine, I have come across a medical procedure that fits all three criteria. In addition, this is undoubtedly the grossest medical procedure ever.
Be warned! If you are squeamish, do not read any farther. I say this with a certain amount of authority; I have spent many years immersed to the elbows in people's internal organs, and covered in bodily fluids, but I was shocked by this. Even the name of the procedure is repulsive, but it is a real procedure that has been successful in treating a very serious problem. What is it?
Fecal transplant … (yes, it's just what you think it is).
Before we get to the mechanics of the procedure, a digression is in order to explain the disease it is designed to treat. The problem is also unpleasant, but a serious, and growing, danger to our health. The technical name is Clostridium difficile enteritis, but is more commonly known as C. diff infection.
C. diff bacteria are everywhere in our environment, and many of us carry it in our intestines. Normally, it is kept in control by the many other forms of bacteria that reside in our gut. However, when a person takes powerful antibiotics, the majority of bacteria in the gut may be killed off. This allows the C. diff bacteria, which are hardier, to overgrow and produce large amounts of a toxin that inflames the intestines. In effect, this is similar to what happens to many women when they take antibiotics and end up with a yeast infection. The antibiotics kill the normal bacteria of the genital tract, allowing the yeast to take over and cause an infection. Yeast infections, while very unpleasant, are usually not dangerous. C. diff, on the other hand, can be very serious.
Some cases of C. diff infection are mild, causing diarrhea and abdominal cramping. But new strains of C. diff are emerging that produce more powerful toxins and can cause severe, even deadly illness. A severe infection with C. diff can lead to profuse diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, fever and debilitating illness. That's what happened to Vicki Doriot, profiled in and MSNBC article about the new procedure:
"When those toxins are in your body, you kind of feel like you're close to death," said Doriott, 52, an accountant from Eau Claire, Wis., who spent nearly six months battling recurrent bouts of the nasty intestinal bug known as C. diff…
"At its worst, I'd have diarrhea every 15 minutes," recalled Doriott. "I'd be going for two or three days. I'd have a 103-degree fever. I couldn't make it two steps from the couch."
C. diff is caused by powerful antibiotics, but it can be cure by other, equally powerful antibiotics. Unfortunately, a new dimension of C. diff disease has emerged: drug resistant C. diff. Up to 20% of new case of C. diff illness are caused by drug resistant bacteria. There has been some success in treating drug resistant C. diff by using newer antibiotics, but there remain some patients who cannot be cured with antibiotics.
Since C. diff infection is invariably the result of antibiotic treatment that destroys the normal bacteria of the intestines, some scientists and doctors have reasoned that restoring the normal bacteria could allow the body to heal itself. Yet it is not as simple as isolating one or two different kinds of bacteria to use for replacement. It is the complex interaction and interrelationship between many different kinds of bacteria that prevents the overgrowth of C. diff. And where can you find a combination of the right bacteria in just the right proportions? You guessed it … in the gut of someone who does not have a C. diff infection.
That's how they hit upon the idea of a "fecal transplant." Not surprisingly, only those patients who are desperately ill are willing to try fecal transplant. That's what happened to Doriott:
After months of exhaustion and illness, Doriott became desperate enough to consider the fecal transplants she'd heard about through research…
Typically, patients ask a close household member, usually a spouse, to produce a sample of stool, which is tested for disease and infection. In Doriott's case, her husband, Jerry, 50, a civil engineer, was on tap.
On the day of the transplant, donors provide the feces, which is blended and filtered. A tube is fed through the patient's nose into the stomach and several teaspoons of the sample are injected through it.
"I refused to look at it," said Doriott. "All I felt was a coolness. It didn't smell."
Doriott said she felt better immediately and hasn't suffered a C. diff relapse since the treatment…
There have been enough patients willing to undergo the procedure that a formal study has been published:
A 2003 case study of 18 patients who received fecal transplants found that two patients who were very ill died shortly after transplant. But of the remaining 16 patients, only one developed C. diff again, according to the study published in the Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases.
The use of fecal transplant is reminiscent in some ways to the early treatment of other serious illness. Before insulin was identified as the missing component in diabetes, scientists showed that an extract from ground up pancreas was able to cure diabetes in dogs. Eventually, insulin was isolated from the extract, and that became the standard treatment.
Ultimately, doctors and scientists will probably be able to determine the most important intestinal bacteria that need to be replaced in order to treat C. diff infection, and fecal transplant will be replaced by biotherapy with bacteria grown in sterile culture. Until then, though, this primitive form of biotherapy will have to do. It may be gross, but it is a literally life saving therapy, based on sound biologic reasoning, that allows a body to ultimately heal itself.
This is one of the mmost educative posts I've read.
"Can frequent use of laxatives contribute to this at all?"
Do you mean can laxative predispose someone to C. diff infection? As far as I know, laxatives don't have an impact. The three major risk factors are use of powerful antibiotics, age over 60, and hospitalization.
I recently received an email from a physician I work with describing the use of nasojejunal tube for this treatment. We had both heard of fecal transplants for C. diff, but had never considered that it would probably be delivered via a nasal tube. (The email was entitled, "Would a Tic Tac kill you?")
Although the treatment may well be considered repugnant, it promises hope for a serious intestinal infection that has few effective remedies.
This topic provides an interesting dovetail involving other research of intestinal bacteria, such as bacteria similarities in family and social groups, and common bacteria characteristics in obesity. By some estimates our bodies contain ten times more bacteria than human cells. By weight, that works out to somewhere between two and nine pounds of bacteria accompanying each of us on our daily travels.
My little buddies!
This procedure was part of a recent episode of Grey's Anatomy. In that episode, a patient who was a hypochondriac took too many antibiotics killing all of the "good" bacteria in her intestines. Apparently she thought she had stomach cancer or something. Her husband refused to be the donor until she admitted her self diagnosis was wrong. He actually said "no poop for you!"
At the time, this procedure sounded completely far-fetched and made-up. Apparently, it's real. Good stuff Dr. Amy.
A few points missing from Dr. Tuteur's article:
- Fecal infusion is also done via enema
- Besides its use a treatment for Clostridium Difficile, fecal infusion is also used for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and ulcerative colitis.
A modern pioneer of this treatment is Dr. Thomas Borody of Sydney, Australia: Center for Digestive Diseases, Probiotic Therapy Research Center. With little acknowledgment from the medical community, Dr. Borody and his staff continue to pursue this and other innovative treatments. Note, however, that several papers on fecal infusion have been published in mainstream medical journals. Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology Abstract.
Additionally, you can watch a news report from Canadian Broadcasting Corp on the subject (video link in the right column).
As for the grossness factor--please get over it. Once one has suffered with a serious gastrointestinal disorder, the promise of an effective treatment for it overrides any disgust one might have with the procedure. Besides, are organ transplants, radiation therapy, or stomach stapling really any less disgusting?
Certainly it's worth trying probiotics, i.e., Floragen, Acidophilus, etc. before a fecal infusion. However, for stubborn illnesses, fecal infusion is far more effective than anything that comes in a pill or yogurt. The theory is that the GI system has literally millions of different bacteria, and it is this mix, not a few isolated strains, that can shift the balance of a fecal infusion recipient's GI system towards normalcy.
@john m
How is this an appropriate treatment for ibs? So far bacteria hasn't been meaningfully connected to the disorder; instead all signs point to a disconnect in the enteric nervous system.
And yes, organ transplants are way less disgusting than feces.
And I have had gastric bypass and iron infusion, close family members had organ transplant and radiation/chemo therapy. Fecal transplant doesn't seem any weirder than these to me.
"I got C Diff several years ago as a result of antibiotic treatment for severe food poisoning. Fortunately, Vancomycin (sp?), which my Dr. called the "antibiotic of last resort", cleared it up."
Yes, vancomycin was traditionally considered the antibiotic of last resort and used to cure just about everyone. Now, unfortunately, some strains of C. diff are resistant to vanco.
"Fecal infusion is a classic example of a treatment that is shown to have a high rate of success, but is not widely used because of stubbornness and conformity in the medical community."
That's absurd. This is a treatment of last resort because of the high potential for infection with viruses like hepatitis or even HIV.
No one trying to keep this secret or discouraging its use. It has been advocated in medical journals and it was just publicized on MSNBC.
"which is why I prefer homeopathy, herbal medicine, and TCM, all of which are not only far, far, far more effective"
They are not effective at all, just quackery pure and simple.
"Couldn't the bacteria be re-colonized within the gut through use of probiotics (if it had the proper bacterium in it?)"
That's probably what will ultimately happen, but there are a lot of technical issues to resolve in order to make it possible. First, the exact types of bacteria must be identified, then they must be isolated, and then grown in culture. Second, it is unclear whether the necessary bacteria can survive outside the gut for very long, and whether they can be "packaged" in such a way that people could treat themselves. Finally, an adequate delivery system must be created. The bacteria must be delivered into the intestine, but stomach acid will kill the bacteria. The bacteria will need to be encapsulated within a covering that will not dissolve in the stomach and only dissolve in the intestine.
His lymphoma is in remission, and I don't think he's going to take the remaining two or three chemo treatments that were originally scheduled, because every time he's taken the chemo, he's nearly died from staph or C. diff or a combination of the two.
From what I've seen my friend go through, my guess is that probiotics wouldn't begin to touch C. diff.
"btw, do probiotics and yogurt (like Greek yogurt) actually help with a yeast issue or is that a myth too?"
The results have been mixed so far, but there is probably no harm in trying them.
According to Probiotics for prevention of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis: a review:
"...the available evidence for the use of probiotics for prevention of recurrent vulvo-vaginal candidiasis (VVC )is limited. However, the empirical use of probiotics may be considered in women with frequent recurrence of VVC (more than three episodes per year), especially for those who have adverse effects from or contraindications for the use of antifungal agents, since adverse effects of probiotics are very rare. In any case women should be clearly informed about the unproven usefulness of probiotics for this purpose. In conclusion, despite the promising results of some studies, further research is needed to prove the effectiveness of probiotics in preventing the recurrences of VVC and to allow their wide use for this indication."
"From what I've seen my friend go through, my guess is that probiotics wouldn't begin to touch C. diff. "
I don't know if it would work, but I suspect that the primary concern would be that with his weakened immune system, he would contract another disease from the transplant.
I did a reasonable amount of reading at the time, and if the antibiotics didn't finally do the trick, I would have been very happy to do the fecal transplant. By the way, in the reading I did ( I believe it was the study of 18 patients mentioned) it was my understanding that the transplant was done rectally.
"Do they sedate you before stuffing someone's poop down your nose?"
No, there's no need. It goes down a tube threaded through your nose and into the intestine.
Regarding the woman who had the disease for six months, she says, "At its worst, I'd have diarrhea every 15 minutes," recalled Doriott. "I'd be going for two or three days. I'd have a 103-degree fever. I couldn't make it two steps from the couch."
I would have hated to clean that couch and the two steps around it after 3 days of crapping.
Also, we just need to let the pharmaceutical marketers get at this. They can add aromas, flavors, myabe even shapes for the kids...New Formula! Flintstones Feces!
"I'm curious if this procedure is effective for autoimmune disorders. "
Probably not. I suspect that it will only work in situations where most of the normal bacteria of the intestine have been killed off by antibiotics. In Behcet's disease the problem is usually at the level of the blood vessels beneath the lining of the intestines, not on the surface.
"It's actually quite unsettling to see how many drug resistant germs are out there now, not the least of which are TB, HIV and MRSA."
Interestingly, each is drug resistant for a different reason.
HIV is a virus, and is unaffected by antibiotics. It is susceptible to a specific class of anti-viral drugs.
TB has become drug resistant over many years. It must always be treated with antibiotics and the best way to prevent resistance is to treat it aggressively with a multi-drug regimen.
Staph aureus is everywhere an may become drug resistant by inadvertent exposure to antibiotics. Minimizing antibiotic exposure might have delayed the appearance of MRSA.
"That's absurd. This is a treatment of last resort because of the high potential for infection with viruses like hepatitis or even HIV."
Donors are thoroughly screened for every viral and bacterial infection under the sun (just as I expect organ and blood donors are). Donors may be friends or family members. At the Probiotic Therapy Research Center, multiple donors have been used to maximize the mix of beneficial bacteria.
"No one trying to keep this secret or discouraging its use. It has been advocated in medical journals and it was just publicized on MSNBC."
It's an open secret. Many general practitioners and GI doctors are unaware it exists. The Canadian Broadcasting Corp reports demonstrate the level of resistance to this treatment. Another factor limiting research on the treatment is that it is not a drug that can be monetized. No pharmaceutical company will develop a blockbuster drug from this research, since the source of the treatment is donor feces.
>>"which is why I prefer homeopathy, herbal medicine, and TCM, all of which are not only far, far, far more effective"
"They are not effective at all, just quackery pure and simple."
Traditional Chinese Medicine has been shown to be effective for some conditions. It is inaccurate to say that it is quackery. Read "Integrative Medicine", Dr. David Rakel, Editor.
What I'm curious about is this: there's been some recent research which indicates differing populations of intestinal flora may be partly responsible for some cases of obesity. So... shouldn't it theoretically be possible to kill and reseed the flora using this technique?
I'm w/those who say, "yawn"

Tales From The Pit: Mutiny of the Vans
We've been talking to bands and fans everywhere to get their favorite mosh pit stories. This week AJ Jacobs of Mutiny Within tells a story that many of us can relate to, either because it happened to you or because you remember it happening to someone at a show.
"I was about 15 years old, went to see Children Of Bodom live, my favorite band at the time. So I was crowd surfing, screaming along with the lyrics, etc. Then I got into the pit, and oh man, I got my ass kicked. Not just that, but my sneaker came loose and I lost it. I had those big VANS sneakers, so it's no wonder it fell off.
"Anyway, so I only have 1 sneaker on at this point and I'm getting pushed further and further back in the venue. Then I saw an object getting thrown all the way to the ceiling several times. And of course, it was my shoe, people were just throwing it around.
"By the end of the show, I made it up to the barricade. When the last song ended and people started clearing out, I saw a bunch of random sneakers near the security guard. I said "Give me a left shoe!", so they did. It wasn't mine, but I wore it for the next week until I bought some new shoes. Needless to say, I steered away from VANS ever since."
Mutiny Within is currently touring North America with Sonata Arctica in support of their self-titled debut album, which was released on February 23rd. The band also had a track featured on the brand new "God of War III" EP. Finally, the band is only a few episodes into a 12-part documentary that can be seen at mutinywithin.com. New webisodes in the series are posted every Wednesday.
Check back every Tuesday for more tales from the mosh pit.
Unearthing the Metal Underground on Myspace
Each week in "Unearthing the Metal Underground," we'll be putting a few quality underground bands in the spotlight in an attempt to get the word out about them. In this edition of Unearthing the Metal Underground I'll be discussing some random bands I found on MySpace. All acts are unsigned and talented.
Margin of Existence
Margin of Existence is a Greek melodic death metal band that takes the genre to a brutal level. The guitars are straight out of In Flames' "Whoracle" album, but the vocals, done by George Triantafilou, are something straight out of Immolation. Many bands copy the in flames guitar style, but Margin of Existence adds in other death metal influences into the music. Check out their MySpace page here. More...
Sunday Old School: Hirax
Thrash metal has grown to become one of the most popular sub-genres in the history of metal. It has it's stars of course such as Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer and it has the band's with more of a large cult following such as Exodus and Testament. But like any other movement, it also has it's forgotten heroes. When researching the original thrash metal scenes, one will inevitably stumble upon a band named Hirax, one of the most dedicated and unique bands in the field.
Like many other thrash metal bands in the 1980s, they were signed to Metal Blade Records, through which they released two studio albums. "Raging Violence" in 1985 and "Hate, Fear And Power" the following year. The second album was a rushed release thanks to pressure from the label and clocked in at just over sixteen minutes, featuring only eight songs. Frontman Katon De Pena left the band not long after, due to internal tensions and what he saw as bad label management, forming the short-lived band Phantasm with original Metallica bassist Ron McGovney and Dark Angel drummer Gene Hoglan. Hirax themselves replaced Katon with former Exodus frontman Paul Baloff, though they decided to call it a day not long after.
The band would reunite with the original lineup in 2000 and released the "El Diablo Negro" EP the same year, however the reunion was not to last as by the next year, Katon De Pena was the only original member left in the band. Since then he has kept Hirax going strong, releasing several EPs and two studio albums, "New Age Of Terror" (2004) and "El Rostro de la Muerte" (2009), as well as building up a strong fan base in South America.

The Rockstar Ramblings: The Stone Velvet Roses
In episode three of Celebrity Fit club, Sebastian Bach (Skid Row) is disappointed at his weight loss, telling the judges "I even took three days off drinking". Bach's quandary is now whether to continue drinking or just stop eating entirely. This may quickly turn into a semi-Survivor show where we watch to see how long Sebastian survives on red wine alone… More...
Tales From The Pit: Hugging It Out In The Pit
We've been talking to bands and fans everywhere to get their favorite mosh pit stories. This week Phoenix, Arizona post-hardcore/metalcore band blessthefall's lead singer Beau Bokan shares a "heart-warming" pit story:
"So we're on tour with Silverstein, playing a show in Denver, Co and it's a packed house. Kids are getting rowdy. I could tell there were a couple obvious 'tough guys' in the crowd who were getting a little too excited. So I was keeping an eye on them. Before you know it, two dudes were in each other's faces and one of the guys throws a punch totally knocking the other one down. I made the band stop playing immediately. I told both of the dudes that if they were going to fight they could go outside and finish fighting otherwise they would have to hug each other if they wanted to stay in the show. So they hugged it out and the show went on. It felt awesome to make 2 strangers who were at each other's throats ACTUALLY hug it out just to stay in the show and see them have a good time."
blessthefall recently announced that they will headline The Bangover Tour this March/April with support from Miss May I, Greeley Estates and Before Their Eyes. The U.S. and Canadian run follows up their slot on The Atticus Tour late last year.
Check back every Tuesday for more tales from the mosh pit.
Sunday Old School: Bathory
In previous Sunday Old School articles, we have looked at three of the bands that really helped to inspire and form the genre of black metal, in the forms of Venom, Celtic Frost and Mercyful Fate. However there is another band just as important in the formation of black metal that we are yet to examine. Namely, Sweden's Bathory. The band was formed in the city of Stockholm in 1983 by Tomas Forsberg, better known to his fans as Quorthon, and two friends. They went through a number of name changes before settling on Bathory and released their self-titled debut album the following year. This album, along with "The Return" and "Under The Sign Of The Black Mark" are now regarded as huge influences on the infamous Norwegian black metal scene's music in the 1990s.
Bathory not only helped to pioneer black metal, but also viking metal too, when they began incorporating viking themes on their next album, "Blood Fire Death." The group went further with this styling on their record, "Hammerheart," now regarded as a landmark in the field of viking metal. They would continue the "Hammerheart" style on their next two albums, "Twilight Of The Gods" and "Blood On Ice" before changing their sound once again, this time sounding more like thrash metal. This move was criticized by many of the band's fans and they returned to the viking approach on their last albums. Sadly, the band would not be able to continue, as in June of 2004, Quorthon (now the band's sole original member) was found dead in his home from an apparant heart failure. The legacy of Bathory has since been remembered with a box set released in 2006 and several tribute albums. More...
The Rockstar Ramblings: Cranium Hall of Fame
The past weekend Axl and the new Guns N Roses rolled into New York for a couple surprise shows. Going on late, and then partying for, as Axl was quoted, "As long as it takes", it is clear Rose hasn't changed much from the Use Your Illusion days. However, I was quite shocked to see Axl rocking the Fedora hat with the bandana, a bold move few can pull off. Add in the trademark oversized aviator shades and Axl becomes a first ballot inductee for the Cranium Accessories Hall of Fame, joining Bret Michaels and Hulk Hogan (first time ballot inductees in the bandana category)… More...
Tales From The Pit: Losing An Arm To The Crowd
We've been talking to bands and fans everywhere to get their favorite mosh pit stories. This week guitarist Carl Porcaro of New York hardcore act Killing Time shares a tale of losing limbs:
"I've seen a lot of crazy shit but some of the craziest shit I've seen has been with our own band. A lot of people don't remember this but our singer (Anthony Comunale) used to have a trick arm and it would come flying out of the socket. We'd be playing songs and kids from the crowd or our road guys would take his arm and try to put it back in the socket and he's screaming while this is going on. That happened very close to me at shows and I got a great view of it. There was one time where he came running down the stairs when we were playing this show and he says 'What's up, this is Killing Time!' But then he goes flying over the monitor and hits the barrier they've put up so people don't stage dive. He busts his arm out of the socket all of 15 seconds into the show."
"Funnily enough one time his arm came out of the socket during the first song and no matter how many people tried to help him he could not get it back in and was rushed to the hospital. We finished the set with all the kids in the audience singing led by our buddy cwolf who became our bass player 10 years later."
Carl recently spoke with Metal Underground.com about Killing Time's new album "Three Steps Back." Sample tracks from the album can be heard at the band's MySpace page.
Check back every Tuesday for more tales from the pit.
Unearthing the Metal Underground: NOLA, Part 2
Just one Unearthing for my fair city of New Orleans wouldn't work. We have so many bands here, they're breaking the levees! Here's three more incredible bands to give you a NOLA fix. There is an amendment to the previous Unearthing the Metal Underground: New Orleans; Tire Fire is not crustpunk. "We hate crusties," vocalist Matt Muscle told me at the Pentagram show. But whatever they are, it's fierce and Matt is a madman on stage. More...
Sunday Old School: Remembering Bon Scott
Close your eyes and think of AC/DC. If you're like most people, the first thing that enters your mind is the image of Angus Young in his schoolboy suit doing his Chuck Berry on speed duckwalk across the stage. The second thing for most is the image of singer Brian Johnson, cap pulled down nearly to his eyes, letting loose with a powerdrill wail.
For 30 years, that's been the case — but it wasn't always so. There was a time when AC/DC's vocalist was every bit as outrageous and unpredictable as its pint-sized guitar god. With a boozy strut, and a wicked glint in his eye that bespoke propensities for violence when provoked and sex whenever (and wherever), Bon Scott commanded the stage in ways that only a few frontmen — Jagger, Plant and (just maybe) David Lee Roth — could match.
Scott is often spoken of as being "AC/DC's first singer," but that's not the case. The band's first vocalist was Dave Evans, a much more glam-inspired singer. Of course, the band during Evans' tenure behind the microphone was a much more glam-inspired bunch, as the video clip for the first single "Can I Sit Next To You Girl" below shows (and dig Angus and Malcolm Young trading licks in a way you don't normally see in this band). But Angus Young and Evans didn't get along, and the band was looking for a new, rawer singer.
They didn't have to look far. At the time, Bon Scott was working for the band as its driver. Before that, though, Scott had been well-known in Australia as one of two lead vocalists in the bubblegum pop band the Valentines, and as the singer of the hippy-dippy outfit Fraternity (dig that recorder). Several accounts point to Scott being much more interested in singing hard rock in the bars after the gigs than he was in performing either of these types of music.
That, of course, made AC/DC the perfect fit for him. And if you thought Angus Young's schoolboy outfit was outrageous, check out Bon's schoolGIRL outfit in this early television appearance, in which the band plays its cover of "Baby Please Don't Go."
Scott's first two albums with AC/DC, "High Voltage" and, especially "TNT" still form a big chunk of the modern AC/DC setlist. Tunes like "The Jack" allowed Bon to show off his talent for clever wordplay and his ability to quickly learn new instruments (he was also a fairly adept guitarist and an excellent drummer) came in handy on the bagpipe-enhanced "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N Roll)."
Next up was 1976's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," which emphasized boogie over blazing guitar work on tracks like "There's Gonna Be Some Rockin'." The title track is a classic, but for me, the heart of the album is the slower, surprisingly introspective "Ride On," which hints at the loneliness of life on the road.
"Let There Be Rock," the band's 1977 classic album is, as Angus Young put it, "a fucking great guitar album." It's the other Scott album that has taken up big chunks of the band's setlist to the present day, with songs like the title track and Scott's ode to a large Tasmanian woman he had the pleasure of knowing, "Whole Lotta Rosie." With such blazing fretwork, it's small wonder that Angus' guitar amp once caught fire during the recording sessions.
The next year came "Powerage," which is arguably the most underrated album of the Scott era, despite having fans that included Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. It's a surprisingly dark affair, with "What's Next to the Moon?" having not-so-veiled threats of murder against the object of the singer's affections. "Riff Raff" and "Sin City" both have gotten a fair amount of play on stage, and, more recently, the band resurrected "Rock 'n' Roll Damnation" on the "Live at the Circus Krone" DVD. The chief criticism of the album was that it seemed to be too much a continuation of "Let There Be Rock." I say, what's wrong with that?
After 1978's live "If You Want Blood, You've Got It" came the high point, in terms of sales and recognition, of Scott's tenure with the band, 1979's "Highway to Hell." The title track wasn't — as some would later claim — an ode to Satan, but rather a colorful description of life on the road, which had its origins in a quote from Angus Young to a reporter. "Shot Down in Flames" and "Girls Got Rhythm" have stayed in the AC/DC setlist, off and on, as has "Highway to Hell."
And then, in 1980, it ended all too soon. Scott died of acute alcohol poisoning in a friend's car 30 years ago this week.
The band soldiered on with Brian Johnson taking his place on "Back In Black," some of which had been written before Scott's passing. There exist demo recordings of a couple tracks (most notably "Have a Drink on Me") with Scott on drums, but, to my knowledge, they've never been released even in bootleg form.
The band has paid tribute to Scott several times over the years, releasing the "'74 Jailbreak" EP in 1984 with some previously Australian-only releases, and the expansive "Bonfire" box set in 1997, which included studio rarities, the soundtrack to the "Let There Be Rock" concert film and more.
Last year, the band put out "Backtracks," a box set that essentially cleared the decks of all the rest of the B-sides and Aussie-only tracks that had built up over the years. It's well worth buying for tracks like "Stick Around" and the itchy ode to body lice, "Crabsody In Blue." But be prepared to shiver a little when Scott eerily foretells his own death in "Carry Me Home."
So, let's raise our glass to one of rock's greatest. "Let There Be Rock," shouted Bon Scott, and there was. And it was much more than good.
AC/DC — "Can I Sit Next To You Girl"
The Rockstar Ramblings: Bon Jovi Roulette
In an interview this week Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi) leaked out that the band will play the album "Slippery When Wet" in its entirety during their next tour. He then went on to say that when they don't play this album they will play "Lost Highway" or "The Circle" from start to finish. For those holding tickets to a Bon Jovi show, this is referred to as Bon Jovi Roulette… More...
Unearthing The Metal Underground in the Bay Area
Each week in "Unearthing the Metal Underground," we'll be putting a few quality underground bands in the spotlight in an attempt to get the word out about them. This week I am spreading the word from the San Francisco Bay Area metal scene.
The Bay Area's metal legacy began with the '80s thrash scene, which gave birth to Metallica, Exodus, Testament, and Death Angel. Neurosis entered the scene with their experimental metal, and Primus and Faith No More turned heads in what could only be referred to as alternative metal. Starting in the '90s, Machine Head evolved the thrash sound into groove metal. Currently, Ludicra, whose black metal has been in the scene since the late '90s, is generating a lot of excitement about their soon to release album, "The Tenant." Today, the Bay Area houses up and coming metal bands who not only reflect the heritage of the region, but filter in influences from a variety of genres. More...
Sunday Old School: 25 Years of Deliverance
In the mid-1980s, Jimmy P. Brown had a question: Could the style then being perfected by thrashers like Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer be made to do the Lord's work? Brown provided a definitive answer of "yes," forming Deliverance.
Sure, Christian metal had been done before — most notably by the yellow-and-black-bedecked Stryper, but never quite as heavy. Deliverance's sound was righteously angry, as were the song titles and lyrics. Thanks in part to a video that got MTV play, the band was able to cross over and gain fans in the mainstream metal crowd.
The band's great influence on the Christian metal scene will be celebrated this year with "Temporary Insanity: A Salute To Deliverance," a two-disc tribute album featuring contributions from members of bands including The Crucified, Vengeance Rising and Darkness Falls. The album will also include a new Deliverance recording.
Deliverance first made its appearance on a compilation album called "California Metal." Their debut album didn't make many waves, but their second, 1990's "Weapons Of Our Warfare" did — even spawning a video that appeared on MTV.
The band's third album, "What A Joke," was less successful, and the band then underwent a musical overhaul, becoming less of a thrash band and moving more toward a progressive direction. The result was the album "Stay Of Execution." The band kept the progressive bent on their next disc, "Learn."
Deliverance released "River Disturbance" in 1994 and "Camelot In Smithereens" in 1995.
"Assimilation" came out in 2001, followed by another long break. Brown, the group's only constant member, reformed Deliverance in 2006, with the result being 2007's "As Above – So Below."
This year, the band will release "The Annals Of Subterfuge" through Retroactive Records.
Weapons Of Our Warfare
The Rockstar Ramblings: Grammy Edition
Thoughts while watching the Grammy's and wondering if Lady Gaga's performance was influenced by Poison's first album Look What The Cat Dragged In…
Congratulations to Rob Halford and Judas Priest for their Grammy win. Anyone else disappointed Halford wasn't draped in leather when he accepted the award?...
Speaking of leather, despite matching leather jackets and pants it is difficult to listen to Bon Jovi and not think, so are these guys Country for good?...
Should Anthony Kiedis every leave Red Hot Chile Peppers I believe Taboo from Black Eyed Peas could probably make a seamless transition…
No surprise here when Slash (Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver) jointed T-Pain, Jamie Foxx and friends on stage. We are months away from a press release stating Slash is the fourth Jonas brother…
All dressed up and only the Grammy's to attend, Alice Cooper presented the Grammy for best rock album. There should be a rule that Cooper can only dress as stage "Alice" or be wearing a golf polo shirt…
Watching Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day) accepting a Grammy solidified him as the only rocker with a head three times the size of his body…
Non Grammy Thoughts of the week…
Steven Tyler is threatening to sue Aerosmith in an attempt to block the band from hiring a new lead singer. Leaked rumors indicate that Billy Idol has been approached by the band. Two questions: 1. Does Idol get to play Rebel Yell with the band? 2. Generally speaking, does the band feel they have to replace Tyler with someone the exact same age?...
D.J. Ashba (Guns N' Rosses, Sixx A.M.) was recently kicked out of a Canadian hotel for smoking cigarettes. In an interview this week Ashba went on to say he was shocked by the attitude and anger expressed from "An old woman with Tina Turner like hair". D.J., it is Canada, eleven months out of the year it is winter. It is cold. These are angry people. Step away from the hotel, and button up, it is going to be okay…
The line-up for Slash's new album officially includes Fergie (Black Eyed Peas), Ozzy Osbourne, Adam Levine (Maroon 5), Kid Rock, and many others. Given the wide range of talent I have to wonder why Slash neglected to give this up and comer I keep hearing about named Billy Idol a shot…
Finally, VH1 has a reality show titled Rock N Roll Fantasy Camp in production. The cast includes many rock and pop stars including Lemmy, Ace Frehley (Kiss), and of course, Bret Michaels. Anyone interested? Episodes to include segments on picking out bandanas, writing multiple hooks with the word "party", and learning how to use the word "Awesome" as a noun, verb, adjective, and adverb – all in the same sentence…
Tales From The Pit: Pint Glasses And Shoes
Every week we talk with bands all over the world as they share some of their favourite stories involving metal's answer to line dancing, the mosh pit. This week, Seregon frontman James Moore told us of a new use for shoes.
"We played a show in Bristol and everyone was going apeshit, broken glass, faces, bodies and shoes flying around etc. I see one guy who gets shoved so hard he flys into the wall and his arm smashes through several pint glasses and heads straight back into the pit fist in the air with blood pissing out of his arm. The same pit with shoes flying around, one guy who is walking around pumping his fist in the air catches a shoe, then starts hitting people with the shoe all around him and then concentrates on the bloodied thrasher, quite simply the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!"
Seregon recently released a new seven track EP entitled, "Disposable Suffering" and will be touring all over Europe this year to support the record. You can purchase the CD by heading here.
Check back every Tuesday for more tales from the pit.
Unearthing The Metal Underground In Sri Lanka Pt 2
Each week in "Unearthing the Metal Underground," we'll be putting a few quality underground bands in the spotlight in an attempt to get the word out about them. The column has returned for the new year to expose three more great projects from the Sri Lankan metal scene. Today I'll be introducing three more bands from Colombo, Sri Lanka, where the metal scene is the most active.
Back in the 90's, metal was practically unheard of in Sri Lanka. Very few people were into rock music, which is what almost every Sri Lankan non-Metal fan calls any type of music with distorted guitar parts. At a time when the Internet was only available to the public very few places in Colombo and file sharing programs were unheard of, a very small, underground community existed who shared CD-R's of videos and mp3 albums in a country which is known for its fairly conservative views that lead to society labeling rock music as the Devil's music and the usual bullshit. This is, of course, nothing new in the realm of metal and its origins.
Then came 1999, the year which gave birth to a project who today are known as one of most significant metal bands in Sri Lanka, Stigmata. Responsible for Sri Lankan metal anthems such as "Andura" and "Jazz Theory" and after 1 EP and 2 Full Lengths titled "Morbid Indiscretion," "Hollow Dreams" and "Silent Chaos Serpentine" respectively, Stigmata is currently recording their third and yet untitled full length, which will hopefully be released this year. They are also one of the two bands (the other being psychadelic grunge unit Paranoid Earthling) who have performed outside Sri Lanka in countries such as Malaysia, Maldives and India.
Check out Stigmata on their MySpace page and the live video of "My Malice" below.
Sunday Old School: Destruction
When thinking about the history of thrash metal, one usually always thinks of the Bay Area in the United States first, followed quickly by the thrash scene on the East Coast. But there was another scene in the 1980s that was just as important, namely the one in Germany. Much like America has it's "Big Four" of thrash (Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer), Germany has it's "Three Kings" who consist of Sodom, Kreator and our featured band of the day, Destruction. Destruction were formed in the town of Weil am Rhein under the name of Knight Of Demon in 1982 but (wisely) decided to change their name to Destruction two years later. During this year they were able to release an EP entitled, "Sentance Of Death" through Steamhammer Records before releasing their debut full length album, "Infernal Overkill" in 1985. The band was originally a trio but added a second guitarist in the form of Harry Wilkens, with whom they recorded another two albums, a live record and an EP before lead singer and bass player Marcel "Schmier" Schirmer was asked to leave the band due to creative differences. He would respond by forming the band Headhunter.
After splitting with Schmier, the band found themselves going through a terrible period commercially, having lost their record label support in favour of grunge music, the band had to self- finance and self-release their new albums. Eventually, Schmier was asked back into the band and the reunited team of Schmier and guitarist Mike Hilfiger, along with drummer Sven Vormann, were able to secure a deal with Germany's Nuclear Blast Records, releasing several highly acclaimed studio albums ever since such as "All Hell Breaks Loose," "The Antichrist" and most recently, "D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N." Destruction still tour the world today, appearing at many of the big European festivals and heading out on headlining tours of their own. More...

Tales From The Pit: Wall of Death FAIL
We've been talking to bands and fans everywhere to get their favorite mosh pit stories. This week, Eddie from All Shall Perish shares quite a different wall of death experience from their previous one.
"Wuddup, Eddie from All Shall Perish here and I can recall one time we were in Dallas, TX and I called out a wall of death. Everyone immediately spread like wildfire and I was thinking that it was going to be incredible. Sadly though when shit went off I only saw maybe ten kids run at eachother. The saving grace to these kids being too scared to run at each other was watching this one guy clothesline another guy and seeing the kid who got hit do a complete backflip. He layed on the floor for the rest of the breakdown and I was too taken back to keep singing I just pointed and laughed at how incredible watching some WWF type shit go down was. I'm happy to say the guy was more than stoked and actually came and gave me a hug later! Thank you Dallas!"
All Shall Perish was recently confirmed for a European tour with Caliban as well as an appearance at Graspop 2010.

Sunday Old School: Scorpions
Given the sad news earlier today that the Scorpions would be breaking up, it seemed the most fitting time to take a look at one of the greatest bands that Germany ever produced. The Scorpions formed way back in 1965 by guitarist Rudolf Schenker as a band which had more of a beat influence until 1969 when Rudolf's brother Michael joined the band on lead guitar and they recruited lead singer Klause Meine. The band released their first album, "Lonesome Crow" in 1972 and promoted the release by touring as support to British hard rockers UFO. The band would split up briefly after this tour, due to Michael Schenker leaving to join UFO. Rudolf Schenker would join the band Dawn's Road with Uli Jon Roth afterwards and convinced Meine to join him. After a while, the band decided to resurrect the Scorpions name as it was well known in the German rock scene.
The new lineup recorded several successful albums such as "Fly To The Rainbow," "In Trance" and "Virgin Killer," the latter of which caused considerable controversy due to it's album cover. The band began to hit their critical peak when they released "Lovedrive" in 1979 which contained the excellent title track as well as "Is There Anybody There?" and "Holiday," which are considered classics of the band's catalogue. The band released two more albums, "Animal Magnetism" and "Blackout" before cementing their place as hard rock superstars with the "Love At First Sting" album, which featured "Rock You Like A Hurricane," perhaps the band's most well known song.
Since then, the Scorpions has released several more acclaimed albums and gone on to sell over 75 million records worldwide. Their song "Winds Of Change" was hailed as an anthem during the end of the Cold War and were the second hard rock band to perform in Russia under Soviet rule (the first being Uriah Heep.) They are regarded as one of the best live groups from the so-called "classic" heavy metal bands and are also considered pioneers of the heavy metal ballad style. They will be releasing their final studio album, "Sting In The Tail" later this year with a worldwide farewell tour to follow.

Nintendo now co-owns the intellectual property rights to Project Zero – known as Fatal Frame in North America – according to a report on Rely On Horror. Nintendo apparently added Tecmo's spooktacular franchise to its list of copyrights. Furthermore, it appears that Nintendo wholly owns the IP for Spirit Camera, the Fatal Frame spin-off recently released on the 3DS. The company also has ownership and publishing rights for Project Zero 2: Wii Edition, which is slated to hit Europe later this year (still no North American announcement for that one).
Nintendo has been tied to the Fatal Frame series for a few years now, publishing the two Fatal Frame games mentioned above as well as Fatal Frame 4, which was never released outside of Japan. Given Nintendo's penchant for extra screens, and Fatal Frame's reliance on capturing ghosts with cameras, the partnership makes sense. Now just give us one on the Wii U, please.
