Hey Guys, This is a brilliant idea which can be easily done and toss out the crappy leavers and afkers from games have another option for 5 v 5, 3 v 3 where leavers and afkers and people who constantly get reported cannot join, it will give people who choose to play LoL a bit more serious then leavers and all some piece of mind, it will let them now that they are in a category of search where some people take a little pride in playing while the... Casual "I'm drunk, I'm high, I don't care what you think, I'm mid or I'll feed" gamer, can go pay with people with that mentality and leave the others alone.. I know its inappropriate bringing HoN into a LoL forum, just they can host games where if people are branded as leavers they cannot join giving the people some decent players and games and which is what i think this game needs. I also believe this will stop a lot of the threads about leavers in my game cause all the proper players will be in a search with their own!, let leavers suffer I constanty cannot stand leavers and afkers as much as the next person so eliminating completely from giving them a chance to play with us will stop the QQ.. And they complain they can't join us, well they dug their own grave so suffer! TL;DR Make a new search category where people who are reported and have leaves cannot join, giving the gamers who take pride piece of mind and hastle free gaming and will stop a lot of the complaining. Please leave some constructive feedback guys or other ideas which you prefer!, cause I know riot has a new system, but honestly it really hasn't worked in my games.. Maybe this will!
Shameless bump, I'm positive this will stop leaving from games with decent players!
Or maybe you can read patch notes and see that they just instituted their own leaver system last week.
Didn't read your post at all, there was no reason to.
Um Yeah
Lemme get this straight, you want to introduce a new game type which prohibits anyone who has ever left a game and has been reported for it (which apparently also includes casual gamers?) from joining? Really, just wait a little while before you start criticizing the new system and suggesting ways to replace it.

Let's Explore
To separate the parts of ink.
- 10-ounce (300-mL) plastic cup
- 31/4-by-2%-inch (8.l-by-5.9-cm) basket-type coffee filter
- coin (quarter)
- green water-soluble marker
- 3-ounce (90-mL) paper cup
- tap water
- Set the plastic cup open side up on a table and stretch the filter over the mouth of the cup. Squeeze the filter around the sides of the cup to hold the filter in place.
- Place the coin in the center of the filter and, with the marker, draw a circle on the filter by tracing around the coin.
- Fill the paper cup with water.
- Dip your finger in the water, then touch the center of the circle with your wet fingertip. Watch the wet spot on the filter until no changes are seen.
- If there are any dry areas in the circle drawn on the filter, repeat step 6.
When water is added, the green ink begins to separate into different colors. Depending on the ink used, varying amounts of blue and yellow can be seen.
Ink is a mixture of a fast-drying liquid and pigments (substances that give a material color). The pigment in the dried ink on the paper dissolves in the water added to the paper. This watery mixture is absorbed by and moves through the paper. The different colored pigments have different amounts of attraction to the filter paper. The pigment with the least attraction will move a greater distance through the paper. Generally, blue pigment in ink moves farthest, followed by yellow. This method of separating parts of a mixture is called chromatography.
For Further Investigation
Mixing different pigments produces different colors. What pigments are in black ink? Do you think all black inks are made of the same pigments? A project question might be, How do the pigments in different brands of watersoluble black ink compare?
Clues for Your Investigation
- Repeat the investigation with different brands of black water-soluble ink. Write the name of each brand on the filter paper.
- Display the markers and the filter paper with your written conclusion of the results.

memorieseach fallen tear holds a story,her life is laid out on her cheeks.her eyes pour out memories,keeping her from the world she seeks.her eyes are open windows,that let you into her mind.see what she haves to deal with,and why she always wants to die.her heart wrenching tales of hurt,that hold her anguished cries,are the ones that keep you listening,and that pull you deeper inside.a soul filled up to the brim,with the images of her past,that keep her from moving on further,and building relationships that never last.her small shattered world,with demons that never disappear,and the darkness that swallows her days,are the only things that seem real.no dreams does she hold,for she is afraid to fall asleep.no future does she care for,cause she is stuck in her world of memories.
you arent you anymore...your not who you used to be,and its killing me inside.i cant stand talking to you,cause you get so arrogant at times.what has happened to you,to cause you to not say goodnight?why do you always do things,that lead us to another fight?you used to be the one,who knew the right things to say.but now you dont seem to care,about anything these days.so far we had been doing good,just as close friends.but now ive become scared,of things coming to an end.maybe i overthink things,or maybe im just terrfied.i just hope you can prove me wrong,before all of this makes me say goodbye.
please dont worryplease dont ever worry,because my lifes just a mistake.i really wasnt supposed to be here,so just go on with your day.and if you see me crying,ignore those pointless tears.i just tend to fall to pieces,because i know i dont belong here.my life is my only problem,and go on like it doesnt matter.because im going to fix whats wrong,and end all of this before tomorrow.my life has had no meaning,and my heart has never felt happy.ive just been cursed to continue living,even when its killing me.so dont try to stop me,when im standing on that edge.just let me let go and fall,because i have nothing to regret.

how thick should the washer be? just got confirmation that santa is getting the wife an i-robot roomba and i will be getting the p-47 with flaps and retracts! yea yea! life is good! p.s. -trying to order the prebent struts for the retracts but they are not listed for the p-47 i guess there out of stock? anyway to install without them? bummer!

Dec 15, 2012, 11:31 AM | |||
As far as I know no P-47 ever had a 3 blade prop and It makes me shudder to imagine it. Don't do it.
Next question is how fast do you want to go? I took advice when I started and I bought Hobby Lobby's 11" scale four blade. Don't use it until you practice a little . No sense breaking an expensive prop. Anyway, I went to a larger ESC and then set the prop to minimum pitch. That way the stock motor and 3S work great. Now some guys are going to say it is slow. Well I'm here to tell you that it won't go 100 mph but it will go pretty fast and it really looks cool! Guys make a big deal out of prop speed and so they want lots of pitch, but remember this. When a full size planes wants maximum power to climb or take off the pilot sets it for minimum pitch = Maximum power. Minimum pitch will give better vertical and longer flight times.

Kellie Pickler Becomes a Sweet Potato for New 'VeggieTales' Movie
Kellie Pickler is about to make her big screen debut ... well, sort of. The singer is lending her voice to the upcoming 'VeggieTales' movie.
Kellie Pickler is about to make her big screen debut ... well, sort of. The singer is lending her voice to the upcoming 'VeggieTales' movie.
ABC's hit show 'Nashville' is getting a double dose of stardom. Kellie Pickler and First Lady Michelle Obama are set to guest star on an upcoming episode of the television series.
Kellie Pickler is celebrating her Valentine's Day with her husband, songwriter Kyle Jacobs, but not everyone is that lucky.
There's no stopping Kellie Pickler, as she just keeps getting better and better. First, the singer earned sixth place on 'American Idol' during Season 5. Then, she took home the top prize on Season 16 of 'Dancing With The Stars.' Now, she has an even bigger dream -- Broadway.
Kellie Pickler loves the troops! The singer is a tireless supporter of military servicemen and women and has been for several years. She has embarked on six previous USO tours and has confirmed participation in a seventh this holiday season.
Kellie Pickler, Season 16 reigning champion of 'Dancing With the Stars,' returned to her old stomping grounds on Monday night (Nov. 25) to perform 'Little Bit Gypsy.'
Kellie Pickler is headed back to 'Dancing With the Stars,' but she's not going to be donning her dancing shoes or showing off her fabulous form.
Kellie Pickler is willing to throw a few back on national television and write lyrics with intensely raw emotions, but she's not going to bare it all in Playboy...at least, not yet.
Kellie Pickler is all about going big or going home. She won 'Dancing With the Stars,' shaved her head for her friend with cancer and took not one, not two, but three shots on 'Ellen' this week.
Many country music stars have great big hearts, and Kellie Pickler is definitely one of them. She received the Heart for the Warrior Award from the USO of North Carolina on Saturday (Oct. 19) at the Ninth Annual Salute to Freedom Gala in Raleigh, N.C.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and here's Kellie performing on Good Morning America for her best friend who has cancer. (Remember when she shaved her head in support of her bestie?!)
It's country corn maze season! Kellie Pickler is the latest artist to have her face cut into a field of corn.

Record Number Of New Exhibitors At Electronic Transactions Association 2013 Annual Meeting And Expo
WASHINGTON, March 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Electronic Transactions Association (ETA), the trade association of the global electronic payments industry, today announced that a record number of new exhibitors will take part in the 2013 ETA Annual Meeting and Expo in New Orleans from April 30 to May 2, 2013. The 50 new exhibitors signed up for the 2013 Expo exceeds the previous record for new exhibitors set in 2012.
"The 2013 ETA Annual Meeting and Expo is the place to do business in the electronic transactions industry, so it's no surprise that more first-time exhibitors than ever before are securing their spots on the exhibit floor," said Jason Oxman, CEO of ETA. "The 2013 Expo is a can't-miss opportunity to show off the latest in electronic payments technology and get cutting-edge electronic payment solutions in front of more than 3,000 professionals from across the industry."
ETA greatly expanded the 2013 Expo over previous years, increasing floor space to 150,000 square feet, making it the largest show in ETA's 23-year history. Currently, only 9 exhibit booths remain available. In addition to the record number of new exhibitors, numerous industry leaders including MasterCard Worldwide, PayPal, Visa Inc. and Discover Network are returning to exhibit.
"We decided to exhibit at the ETA Annual Meeting and Expo because it is the premier tradeshow in the industry and we did not want to miss out on the opportunity," said Charles Hogan, CEO of Tranzlogic, a first-of-its-kind technology firm dedicated to creating new payments solutions. "The ETA Expo is a great way to reach customers and showcase our exciting new product to the payments industry."
"We have been attending the ETA Annual Meeting and Expo for years as attendees, but given how much the conference has grown, we knew we had to exhibit this year and unveil our new product, TRANSAX Gateway, to the entire payments industry," said Matthew J. Schwartz, ETA CPP and president of TRANSAX, a cashless payment processing company. As the world's largest stage for payments innovation, the ETA Annual Meeting and Expo brings together thousands of payments and technology industry executives, venture capitalists and media from ten countries to conduct business, strategize, unveil new products and network. Key conference highlights include:- Keynote Addresses – David W. Nelms, Chairman and CEO of Discover Financial Services and Michael Abbott, CEO of ISIS
- Educational Supersessions – The largest selection of payments learning opportunities of the entire year, all in one place. Topics include electronic processing, legislation, fraud prevention, marketing, financing, recruiting and revolutionary payment startups
- Exhibit Hall - The exhibit hall features 200 exhibitors across 150,000 square feet at the state-of-the-art Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in the heart of New Orleans. A significant expansion of ETA's 2013 Annual Meeting and Expo – including the brand-new Mobile Pay Zone and the brand-new Payments Next Zone – establishes the ETA show as the hub of activity in the electronic transactions industry.
- ETA's Small Business Forum; How Mobile Payments Grows Small Business - The forum will feature small business owners from New Orleans and payments industry experts discussing how small business can benefit from mobile payment solutions.
- ETA Executive Press Luncheon – A private lunch meeting with ETA CEO, Jason Oxman will include the release of the latest Economic Indicator Report and all-new Mobile Payments Committee consumer resource tips.

Presented in partnership with Strategic Solutions Network, the creators of the industry-renowned Mobile Contactless Payment Innovations series of events.
- Electronic Transactions Association University (ETAU), a series of live, instructor-led, interactive classes that address key facets of the industry that are necessary for expanding attendees' knowledge and expertise

Speakers include top officials in both the executive and legislative branches of government including officials from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Federal Trade Commission.
- The Investment Community Forum, an all-day event on April 30 that brings the payments industry together with the investors and investment companies that can help fund the innovation and entrepreneurial energy that drive the future of payments.

Coheed and Cambria is an American progressive rock band from Nyack, New York, formed in 1995. The group's music incorporates aspects of progressive rock, pop, heavy metal, and post-hardcore.[4]
All of Coheed and Cambria's albums are concept albums that tell a science fiction storyline called The Amory Wars, a story written by lead singer Claudio Sanchez, which has been transcribed into a series of comic books[5] as well as a full-length novel. The band has released seven studio albums, three live albums, and several special-edition releases. They are currently managed by David "Beno" Benveniste's Velvet Hammer Music and Management Group.
In March 1995, after the split of Claudio Sanchez and Travis Stever's band called Toxic Parents, they formed a band with Nate Kelley called Beautiful Loser. The band featured Stever on vocals and guitar, Sanchez on guitar, Kelley on drums and Jon Carleo on bass. The group was short-lived, breaking up by June 1995 after an argument over gas money.[6] Stever left the band, and the resulting trio was named Shabütie,[7] a word taken from African tribe chants that means "naked prey" in the film The Naked Prey.
The band spent nearly a year experimenting with a multitude of different musical styles, including punk rock, indie rock, acoustic rock, funk, and heavy metal. When Carleo left the band in August 1996, Kelley recruited Michael Todd to take his place. Todd, who was primarily a guitarist, picked up the bass specifically for Shabütie.[7][8] As Shabütie, the band wrote dozens of songs and released their first studio demo Plan to Take Over the World in 1999. The band also released The Penelope EP in 1999, shortly after which Stever rejoined the band.
Kelley left the band during a performance in late 1999. Josh Eppard (then the drummer of his brother Joey Eppard's band 3) replaced him.[7][8] The band went on to release Delirium Trigger in 2000, still featuring Kelley on the drums, but listing Eppard in the liner notes.[9]
Several songs that appeared on Delirium Trigger were based on a series of science fiction comics written by Claudio Sanchez called The Bag.On.Line Adventures, which was later renamed The Amory Wars. Sanchez's side project originally developed during a 1998 trip to Paris, where the band members decided to rename themselves Coheed and Cambria, named after two of the story's protagonists, and adopted the concept story as a theme that would unify their future albums.[10] This side project also created Coheed's official logo, the Keywork, a symbol for the planetary alignment of the Amory Wars universe.[11]
In February 2002 the band released its first studio album The Second Stage Turbine Blade after signing with Equal Vision Records.[12] Influenced by the post-hardcore group At The Drive In,[13] the band's first release also featured a guest appearance from Dr. Know of the hardcore-punk band, Bad Brains, as well as the revised "Delirium Trigger", "33", and "Junesong Provision" from the Delirium Trigger EP. The band also released its first single and music video, "Devil in Jersey City".[13][14] The band eventually played several tour dates in the United States and Japan, as well as a brief stint on the 2002 Vans Warped Tour. In August 2002, Coheed and Cambria started working with manager Blaze James, who would help propel the band to larger stages and a wider fan base.[10][15]

Following extensive touring with groups Breaking Pangaea, Linkin Park, The Used, and Slipknot, in October 2003 the band released its second studio album In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3, also on Equal Vision Records.[13][14] Featuring the singles "A Favor House Atlantic" and "Blood Red Summer" and corresponding videos which received airtime on MTV, the band supplemented the release by touring with various artists such as Thursday, Thrice, AFI, and Rainer Maria. Coheed and Cambria also made its second appearance on the Warped Tour and performed additional European shows.[14] The album peaked at No. 52 on the Billboard charts and was certified Gold by the RIAA.[16][17]
The band also supported the release by filming an August 2004 concert at New Jersey's Starland Ballroom. The performance was converted into the band's first live DVD, Live at the Starland Ballroom, which was released in March 2005.
The success of In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 attracted the attention of the record label Columbia Records,[12] with whom they signed a multi-album contract.[18][19] The band stopped touring to record their third studio album and first major-label release Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness in early 2005 for a September 2005 release.
Problems playing this file? See media help. |
Their most commercially successful album to date, Good Apollo Volume One has sold almost 1 million copies and peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard charts.[20][21] The album represented a departure from their previous melodic post-hardcore influenced rock toward a progressive rock sound. The single "Welcome Home" was described by John A. Hanson as "a heavily Led Zeppelin-influenced metal tune".[22] The band supported the album with American and European tours accompanied by The Blood Brothers, Circa Survive, Dredg, Head Automatica, and Avenged Sevenfold, tours culminating in the release of the exclusive iTunes EP Kerrang!/XFM UK Acoustic Sessions and their second live DVD The Last Supper: Live at Hammerstein Ballroom.[23]
Claudio Sanchez released an album from his side-project The Prize Fighter Inferno in October 2006 titled My Brother's Blood Machine. Like Coheed and Cambria's albums, it was a concept album, related to Coheed and Cambria via a character that appears in both stories: Jesse, "The Prize Fighter Inferno". The album was intended to be a prequel to the Coheed and Cambria albums.[24] Claudio says "when we were called Shabütie, the initial idea for Coheed and Cambria was to be an acoustic/electronic side project. So I guess The Prize Fighter Inferno is kind of the original idea for Coheed and Cambria."[25]
In early November 2006, Josh Eppard and Michael Todd left the band for personal reasons, forcing Matt Williams and the band's drum technician, Michael Petrak, to fill out temporarily the band's rhythm section for a handful of shows.[26] In April 2007, bassist Michael Todd rejoined Coheed and Cambria, and the band entered the Los Angeles-based studio with new producer Nick Raskulinecz. The following June Chris Pennie, formerly of the Dillinger Escape Plan, joined Coheed and Cambria as its drummer, but due to contractual restrictions with his previous record label, Pennie did not appear on the band's fourth release.[4] Instead, Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins recorded the drums, making use of several ideas Pennie had previously written in correspondence with Sanchez.[4]
The band's fourth studio album, and second release with Columbia Records, Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow, was released in October 2007, debuting at number 6 on the Billboard charts.[27] The album's first single, "The Running Free", was released to radio in August 2007. The second single was "Feathers" with a video starring Rena Riffel.[28] The band has continued touring, headlining portions of the 2007 Warped Tour,[29] a tour supported by Clutch and The Fall of Troy, and opened for Linkin Park's 25-city U.S. tour, which forced the cancellation of Coheed and Cambria's performances on Australia's Soundwave Festival.[30][31] In addition to the return of Todd on bass and new drummer Pennie, the band also recruited a touring keyboardist and backup vocalists for its live performances.[32]
In November 2007, their song "Welcome Home" was included as a playable track in the video game Rock Band,[33] and a cover of their song "Ten Speed (of God's Blood & Burial)" was later made available as a download for Rock Band. In 2009 two more songs were made available for download, "The Running Free" and "A Favor House Atlantic", for the video game Rock Band,[34] later joined in 2010 by the songs "Guns of Summer", "Here We Are Juggernaut" and "The Broken".[35]
The band prepared a four-month world tour beginning in January 2008.[36] They later headlined at The Bamboozle 2008 music festival.[37]
The band headlined the 2008 Kerrang! Tour in the U.K., where the band performed and recorded a cover of "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden, which is featured on Kerrang!'s Iron Maiden tribute album, Maiden Heaven, that came with the July 16 issue.[38] They were nominated for Best International Band and Best Music Video (for Feathers) in the 2008 Kerrang! Awards.[39]
In October and November 2008, the band played Neverender, a four-night concert series in which the band played one album per night. The event was held in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and in London in early December.[40] Neverender: Children of The Fence Edition, a CD/DVD box set of their Neverender performance, was released on March 24, 2009.[41]
In 2009 the song "Welcome Home" was also used in the trailer for the animated movie 9.[42]
Coheed and Cambria toured through most of early 2009. Between January and March, they toured with Slipknot and Trivium on the Slipknot-headlined All Hope Is Gone tour. In August 2009, Coheed and Cambria toured in support of Heaven & Hell on their tour in support of The Devil You Know.[43] On September 16, 2009, they performed at the Puyallup Fair alongside Brand New and Jaguar Love. In October they performed at the Austin City Limits Music Festival in Austin, Texas.[44] They also performed at the Wacken Open Air festival, at the UK leg of the Sonisphere Festival tour,[45] and at the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago.[46]
Coheed and Cambria finished recording their fifth studio album Year of the Black Rainbow in 2009. It is a prequel to their conceptual story, having events that take place before The Second Stage Turbine Blade.[47] A novel was released to accompany the album co-written by Sanchez and Peter David.[48] The album was released on April 13, 2010 in both a standard, iTunes special, and deluxe edition (with the deluxe edition including the "Year of the Black Rainbow" novel and a special Year of the Black Rainbow "Black Card" that provides the holder early access to some Coheed shows.)
"The Broken", "Guns of Summer" and "Here We Are Juggernaut" were released on the Rock Band music store on April 20, 2010.[49]
Sanchez recently stated that with the Coheed and Cambria saga completely chronicled on the group's first five albums, he has been contemplating the direction of future releases. "I've thought of telling stories of the future and stories of the past, maybe getting involved more in the story of Sirius Amory (sic – Sirius Amory in the stories), the fellow who figured out the value of the Keywork," he said. "Or even stories that kind of parallel the one that we're telling. It's kind of up in the air. I've started writing music for that next record, and I'm kind of hoping that maybe in doing that it's going to tell me which one to do."[50]
On July 10, 2011, bassist Michael Todd was arrested and taken into police custody in Attleboro, Massachusetts on charges of armed robbery.[51] Wes Styles acted as a temporary replacement for the remaining dates.[52] On August 4, 2011 Todd and the band parted ways by mutual decision.[53][54]
The band recorded a cover of the ZZ Top song, "Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers", for the tribute album A Tribute from Friends[55] and new song "Deranged" was released on the soundtrack for the video game Batman: Arkham City on October 18, 2011.[56]
Claudio announced at New York Comic Con in "Radio.com" in October 2011 that the upcoming album was written and that the recordings would begin in November. He also confirmed that the band were continuing to write music following the Amory Wars storyline, and hinted that fans would be surprised by which character was followed in the new album.[57]
In November 2011, Chris Pennie departed the band by mutual agreement due to creative differences.[58] Two weeks later, Pennie was replaced by the band's former drummer Josh Eppard,[59] and the following April the band announced via social media that their replacement bassist would be Zach Cooper, previously of the band AM to AM. According to an interview with Cooper, Coheed manager Blaze James "cold-called" Cooper to audition for the bass position, based upon a personal recommendation.[60]
In June, the band completed the recording of their sixth studio album at Applehead Studios.[61] The following month, Coheed announced via their website that the upcoming album would be a double album called "The Afterman." The first part, titled The Afterman: Ascension, was released on October 9, 2012 and the second, titled The Afterman: Descension, was released on February 5, 2013. It has been produced by Coheed and Cambria, with Michael Birnbaum and Chris Bittner. 'The Afterman' tells the story of Sirius Amory, the namesake of the concept, as he explores the energy source holding together the Keywork (the 78 worlds in which the Amory Wars is set) and finds that it is in fact an afterlife for departed souls.[62] In the same month, Claudio announced at San Diego Comic Con that Entourage producers Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson will develop his comic book series The Amory Wars into a full-length live action film.[63]
On August 28, 2012, the band released the music video for "Key Entity Extraction I: Domino the Destitute", the first single from The Afterman: Ascension,, on their Vevo channel,[64] reaching over one million views. Two weeks before the album's release, the band premiered the studio version of the title track "The Afterman" on Rolling Stone.[65] The second video from the album was later created for this track.[66] In 2013, the band released videos for "Dark Side of Me" and "Number City", from The Afterman: Descension.
On August 18, 2014, it was revealed on a Billboard.com article that Coheed and Cambria will be releasing a remastered version of In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 on October 21, including some interview questions about why they're releasing it, and premiering the remastered version of the single "A Favor House Atlantic" from that album.[67]
On August 25, 2014, a video of Claudio playing a new song entitled "Atlas" was uploaded to the band's YouTube channel.[68]
In September and October of 2014, Coheed and Cambria went on tour with Thank You Scientist, playing In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 in its entirety in correspondence with its remastering.
In an interview with Claudio Sanchez, he hopes to take Coheed and Cambria into the studio during January 2015 for a spring or summer release.[69]
Sanchez has several times stated he is envious of his father's era of music, and that the band is influenced by groups of that era, such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Police, Misfits, Queen, and Thin Lizzy. Apart from these roots, Sanchez also acknowledges an eclectic array of influences, including post-hardcore group At the Drive-In, and heavy metal pioneers Iron Maiden.[13][70][71] Contrary to rumors, bassist Michael Todd said the band was not influenced by Saga and that he had never heard of that group.[72] Many draw similarities between Rush and Coheed and Cambria,[73][74] but Josh Eppard stated in an interview that neither he nor the other band members were Rush fans or influenced by Rush. They began listening to Rush after their second album.[74] Influences of punk rock have been cited as well, especially the Misfits and Bad Brains. Dr. Know of Bad Brains plays a guitar solo on the track "Time Consumer" from Second Stage Turbine Blade. Sanchez and Stever's early band Toxic Parents drew many similarities from Jane's Addiction and Misfits.[75] Sanchez has stated that The Amory Wars, the story on which Coheed and Cambria base its lyrics, has similarities to other stories, especially to the Star Wars trilogy. For example, when the character Coheed returns home to his wife Cambria, she says, "Somehow I've always known," a line that Princess Leia said to Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.[76][77]
The band's style is described as progressive rock by Equal Vision,[78] Spin,[79] and Allmusic.[80][81][82][83][84] Songs such as "Blood Red Summer" and "Three Evils (Embodied in Love and Shadow)" have been noted in many reviews of the band to also contain several elements of pop, as exemplified by one review by Sputnikmusic, which says "Coheed and Cambria manage to bring new life to a dying genre, and mix up the standard pop-punk scheme with creative and original riffs."[85] The band has also been described as new prog,[86] and on their first album, as post-hardcore. The band is also classed as progressive metal.[1][87][88]

Owner(s) | Yomiuri Group |
Founded | 1874 |

Website | www |
The Yomiuri Shimbun (読売新聞 Yomiuri Shinbun?) is a Japanese newspaper published in Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, and other major Japanese cities.[2] It is part of the Yomiuri Group, Japan's largest media conglomerate.[3] It is one of the five national newspapers in Japan; the other four are the Asahi Shimbun, the Mainichi Shimbun, Nihon Keizai Shimbun, and the Sankei Shimbun. The headquarters is in Otemachi, Chiyoda, Tokyo.[4]
Founded in 1874,[5] the Yomiuri Shimbun is credited with having the largest newspaper circulation in the world,[6][7] having a combined morning and evening circulation of 14,323,781 through January 2002. In 2010, the daily was the number one in the list of the world's biggest selling newspapers with a circulation of 10,021,000.[8] As of mid-year 2011, it still had a combined morning-evening circulation of almost 13.5 million for its national edition.[9] The paper is printed twice a day and in several different local editions.
Yomiuri Shimbun established the Yomiuri Prize in 1948. Its winners have included Yukio Mishima and Haruki Murakami.
The Yomiuri was launched in 1874 by the Nisshusha newspaper company as a small daily newspaper. Throughout the 1880s and 1890s the paper came to be known as a literary arts publication with its regular inclusion of work by writers such as Ozaki Kōyō.
In 1924, Shoriki Matsutaro took over management of the company. His innovations included improved news coverage, a full-page radio program guide, and the establishment of Japan's first professional baseball team (now known as the Yomiuri Giants).
The emphasis of the paper shifted to broad news coverage aimed at readers in the Tokyo area. By 1941 it had the largest circulation of any daily newspaper in the Tokyo area. In 1942, under wartime conditions, it merged with the Hochi Shimbun and became known as the Yomiuri-Hochi.
In February 2009, tie-up with The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) for edit, printing and distribution, then from March the major news headlines of the WSJ's Asian edition are summarized in the evening edition in Japanese.
The Yomiuri has a history of promoting nuclear power within Japan. During the 1950s Matsutaro Shoriki, the head of the Yomiuri, agreed to use his newspaper to promote nuclear power in Japan for the CIA.[10] In May 2011, when the then Japanese prime minister Naoto Kan requested Chubu Electric Power Company to shut down several of its Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plants due to safety concerns, the Yomiuri responded with criticism, calling the move "abrupt" and a difficult situation for Chubu Electric's shareholders. It wrote Kan "should seriously reflect on the way he made his request."[11] It then followed up with an article wondering about how dangerous Hamaoka really was and called Kan's request "a political judgment that went beyond technological worthiness."[12] The next day damage to the pipes inside the condenser was discovered at one of the plants following a leak of seawater into the reactor.[13]
In November 2014 the newspaper become controversial [14][15][16]
Political stance[edit]
The Yomiuri Shimbun is conservative and sometimes considered a centre-right newspaper.[1]
The Yomiuri newspaper said in an editorial in 2011 "No written material supporting the claim that government and military authorities were involved in the forcible and systematic recruitment of comfort women has been discovered", and that it regarded the Asian Women's Fund, set up to compensate for wartime abuses, as a failure based on a misunderstanding of history.[17] The New York Times reported on similar statements previously, writing that "The nation's (Japan's) largest newspaper, Yomiuri Shimbun, applauded the revisions" regarding removing the word "forcibly" from referring to laborers brought to Japan in the prewar period and revising the comfort women controversy.[18] More recently the Yomiuri editorials have opposed the DPJ government and denounced denuclearization as "not a viable option".[19]
Other publications and ventures[edit]
Yomiuri also publishes The Japan News (formerly called The Daily Yomiuri),[20] one of Japan's largest English-language newspapers.[citation needed] It publishes the daily Hochi Shimbun, a sport-specific daily newspaper, as well as weekly and monthly magazines and books.
Yomiuri Shimbun Holdings owns the Chuokoron-Shinsha publishing company, which it acquired in 1999, and the Nippon Television network. It is a member of the Asia News Network. The paper is known as the de facto financial patron of the baseball team Yomiuri Giants. They also sponsor the Japan Fantasy Novel Award annually. It has been a sponsor of the FIFA Club World Cup every time it has been held in Japan since 2006.
Digital resources[edit]
In November 1999, The Yomiuri Shimbun released a CD-ROM titled "The Yomiuri Shimbun in the Meiji Era," which provided searchable archives of news articles and images from the period that have been digitalized from microfilm. This was the first time a newspaper made it possible to search digitalized images of newspaper pictures and articles as they appeared in print.
Subsequent CD-ROMs, "The Taisho Era", "The pre-war Showa Era I", and "The pre-war Showa era II" were completed eight years after the project was first conceived. "Postwar Recovery", the first part of a postwar Showa Era series that includes newspaper stories and images until 1960, is on the way.
The system of indexing each newspaper article and image makes the archives easier to search, and the CD-ROMs have been well received by users as a result. This digital resource is available in most major academic libraries in the United States.

- I am looking for a good sandwich style bread. I had a different sour dough starter I got from a friend and altho it made good bread, it was too airy for sandwiches. Does this, or another kind, make a good sandwich style bread?
- Our Ischia sourdough starter is a great choice for making sandwich bread.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Jen at 2/17/2012 6:36 AM
- The second time I added flour to the starter to activate it- nothing happened! I followed the instructions carefully. It is warm, but not too warm. It has been 12 hours. Should I wait longer? There is one or two bubbles on top, but it has not doubled in size at all! On top is a thin watery liquid and the flour is on the bottom of the bowl.
- It can take some time to activate the starter, just keep on your feeding schedule, stir well to get a lot of air in at feeding time and be patient. : ) The layer of liquid usually indicates that the starter is getting hungry so be sure to stay on your feeding schedule even if the starter doesn't double in size or have lots of bubbles.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Julie at 1/17/2012 5:17 PM
- So do you use white all-purpose flour or what kind of flour can I use. Can I grind my own soft wheat flour for it?
Thanks - Each sourdough starter is created for a specific type flour. We recommend activating your starter using that specific flour (whole wheat, white, rye, etc). Once your starter is established, you can switch flour.
Feeding your sourdough culture with freshly ground flour is problematic as sourdough culture prefers aged flour. Therefore we recommend placing your freshly ground flour in a bowl on the counter covered lightly with a dish towel for several weeks before using it to feed your sourdough culture. Once it is time to bake bread, you can use freshly ground flour as the flour portion of the bread recipe.
More information can be found at http://www.culturesforhealth.com/sourdough. - Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- So do you use white all-purpose flour or what kind of flour can I use. Can I grind my own soft wheat flour for it?
- From Jennifer at 7/7/2011 5:30 PM
- I know this starter culture is meant for white flour, but can you use it in wheat as well? Thanks!
- You can convert any sourdough starter to thrive on a different flour than it was grown with. It takes a few days, and basically you just do your regular feedings with the new flour until it is converted.
You wouldn't use the same starter to go back and forth though. You could divide your starter, and keep two sets going at the same time if you like to bake with different kinds of flours. - Do you find this question helpful? Yes No

- Success! Review by Pam
Quality Price Value This was my first time trying out a sourdough starter, and it's been really easy. The directions were clear, and I made my first loaf of bread last weekend using the recipe in the Cultures for Health eBook. I've got the rosemary cracker recipe started now to bake tomorrow.

- Works great and very easy for a beginner! Review by Sarah
Quality Price Value This is the first time I have used a sourdough starter so I was a little hesitant, but the instructions were very clear and the starter was healthy and bubbly. I have made bread, pizza crust, pretzels, pancakes, and waffles so far. Bonus: Hubby loves it! The taste isn't very strong, so perfect for us. :)

- I Don't Want to Give Up Just Yet Review by Valarie
Quality Price Value The starter performed as directed, although I had trouble with the directions (two people misunderstood one part of the directions). Sadly after 7 days of feeding, and using all that flour -- the bread was a flop. The online video was followed, but something went wrong. All was not lost. The pitiful loaf, once we cut the hard, white-brick top off, it had wonderful flavor. I will get my start out of hibernation and try again. I want to be hopeful...
CFH note: Please let us know if you struggle with instructions, we are always happy to help. It takes a very active starter to cause bread to rise and there are a few things that can help increase activity (check you proofing temperature and feeding schedule). First loaves can be a bit of a challenge as your starter is adapting to a new environment and you're getting used to a feeding schedule but you'll soon be enjoying the perfect loaf!(Posted on 1/28/2015)
- Worked great! Makes delicious artisan bread. Review by RenaT
Value Quality Price This product did everything it was supposed to do. After following the provided directions, the culture sprang to life. It currently seems to be trying to take over my kitchen. So far I have had great success making sourdough bread and sourdough pancakes. My family loves them. One comment, the directions for making bread which I found on the Cultures for Health website called for a 10 to 20 minute kneading period. I found this too laborious and started using a no knead recipe instead, which produces a moist loaf with wonderful texture, and all that is needed is a quick mix with the wooden spoon. I would definitely recommend buying this culture. I'm having fun with it.

- Happy, Happy, Happy! Review by Carolyn
Value Quality Price I've had wonderful success with the starter. This was not my first time working with sourdough, but it has been many, many years. I've made banana and blueberry muffins, apple cake, several loaves and one batch of rolls with it. Even my picky eater is enjoying my homemade breads! Thanks for the wonderful products...I'm sure I'll be trying other cultures...been wanting to try cheese!

- wonderful Review by tulip
Value Quality Price I usually make a batch of sourdough biscuits on the weekend or a loaf of sourdough bread. Then I keep the starter refrigerated until the next weekend. The mild flavor is what my family enjoys. As time allows, I hope to experiment with other fun uses for sourdough.

- Delightful tasting starter! Review by Pam
Value Quality Price My first sourdough starter was the one fed with whole wheat flour. It has worked very well, however, my family does not love the strength of the sourdough taste. I purchased the New England sourdough starter hoping for a milder taste and I am very, very happy with it. The smell and taste are delightful and the starter is very healthy. My husband can be particularly hard to please, but he likes the bread and baked goods made with this starter.

- Happy with results Review by Theresa
Value Quality Price This culture started bubbling just after 2or 3 day I was amazed . Made some pretzels and they where not only delicious but looks smoother then yeast raised pretzels. Just beautiful bread , I am very pleased and if the culture lives on and on , it will have lots of value to me. Like heirloom , like New England

- Fantastic Starter Review by Lynn
Value Quality Price I started my sourdough adventure with the Desem starter. I quickly became discouraged and decided sourdough was not for me. HOWEVER, after reading about the health benefits of sourdough I purchased this New England starter and I am certainly glad I did. This is a most vigorous starter that produces delicious baked goods. It is happy in my Pickl-it jar, sitting in the fridge until I am ready to bake. Try this starter! You'll love it!!!
(Posted on 9/4/2014)
- Definitely recommend! Review by Melissa
Price Value Quality Working with this starter is my first attempt, ever, at making bread. The starter is great, and even though I turned out a loaf of bread with an outstandingly hard crust, the inside was lovely--soft and tasty. I'm looking forward to giving it another try. Aside from bread, I've also made muffins and pancakes with my starter. Muffins were good, and pancakes are far and away my family's favorite (and my oldest child is a pancake connoisseur, so that's no small compliment).

- Great and easy sourdough! Review by ac
Quality Price Value This is not my first experience with sourdough - I have made my own before, and have received starters from a friend as well. It is my first experience here however - and it has been a little different. I am not hugely learned in sourdough yet, but in the past - I have always kept my sourdough very wet. The directions for this sourdough keeps it very dry - it is very doughy. This is because of the 1:1:2 ratio (starter:water:flour). It was kind of hard to get used to at first because it is difficult to stir, however the end product turns out beautiful every time. I have made pizza dough, bread, tortillas, pancakes and cookies so far and all turned out wonderful. One thing I've found different about this sourdough than my past, is that when I want a really "sour" dough - it takes forever, and then it really isn't even as sour as I'd like. My past sourdough starters only took about 24 hours of sitting to turn out a very sour dough. This one is just very mild. It is sour - don't get me wrong, but not in a strong way. I'd like to purchase the San Fran starter next just to have something a little stronger in flavor sometimes. Great starter though!

- It's wonderful this is so reliable Review by Tia
Price Value Quality I started this during a kitchen remodel under less than ideal conditions. It took a little longer than last time to start (probably due to lower temperatures), but took off on the 4th day or so. I was so relieved to have it start even when I didn't do everything right.

- Great product Review by m4026
Price Value Quality I tried making my own sour dough and this was well worth the cost and time savings. The directions are very well written and easy to follow to get the best final product. I made coffee cake with all my "leftover" starter, which was a BIG hit!!

- Great starter - Worth every penny Review by Curtis
Value Quality Price I've been a little frustrated working with my homemade starter and decided to give this New England Starter a try. The first 48 hours were an act of faith but since then it has exceeded my expectations. I'm getting ready-to-bake loaves in 5 hours! This is a great product, just follow the supplied instructions and it won't let you down.
(Posted on 3/24/2014)
- Really nice starter Review by Donalyn
Quality Price Value This is the first sourdough culture I have tried from CFH and I am very happy with my choice. It has a pleasant sourdough flavor, but not terribly strong. The best part is that it is a very lively starter - activated very quickly and comes back to life equally as quickly. I only give the bread one rise, and it is ready to go in the oven in about 5 hours, which is fast for sourdough. I also have to thank CFH for great customer service - I used the chat feature a couple times to get some advice on a few things, and they were fantastic. Thanks!

- Guess I'm not a sourdough person Review by Ymasullo
Quality Price Value the product arrived quickly, and I immediately went to it and started the culture. I gave it several days as the instructions say. I cannot say I had good luck with this and the constant feeding it seemed to need was a bit ridiculous. Sadly, I threw it out.

- Easy sourdough Review by Bonnie
Price Value Quality This is an easy sourdough to activate and work with. Someone else has used the word "robust" and that seems a perfect description. It might be a mild flavor but it still does have a sourdough flavor that is very popular at our house. I thoroughly enjoy making bread with this starter.

Value Quality Price I love this sourdough starter. It is the gift that keeps on giving.

- Very healthy starter! Review by Jenny
Value Quality Price This starter has been very active from the beginning. My previous starter was a whole grain sourdough starter and was a bit sour for my family. This starter has a more mild flavor, which is working well for regular sandwich bread. Even my picky husband is slowly switching over to sourdough. I definitely like to feed it twice a day, making sure to "dump" all but about 1/4 cup of starter to culture the next feeding of flour. I have a bowl, that I keep in my fridge to hold the "dumped" sourdough, which I use in all kinds of recipes. I am well pleased.

Cloud 101: Four things businesses need to know
In the cloud, there's room for everybody. But many small and medium business (SMB) owners have hesitated to use the Internet-based operating system because of concerns about the cost and potential security risks.
That's changing fast. As cloud computing matures, more flexible and cheaper options have emerged and the productivity gains have become hard to ignore.
A 2013 survey by the National Small Business Association found that 43 percent of small firms were utilizing cloud computing — a huge jump from just five percent in 2010. International Data Corporation (IDC) predicts that SMB spending on cloud solutions will grow 20 percent in the next five years.
Testing the cloud
Many SMB owners first try the cloud by using popular file-sharing sites like Dropbox, productivity tools such as Google Apps and hosted email like Microsoft Office 365. That often leads them to use more cloud services to support the growth of their business and to maintain and simplify operations.
"It's the 'blowfish effect,'" says Sara Varni, vice president of marketing for Desk.com, a cloud-based customer service provider for SMBs. "The cloud lets SMBs appear much bigger than they really are. But it also gives them the ability to make the most of existing resources and execute on sales, customer service, product management and other critical business functions like a bigger business could."
Cloud computing also can help SMB owners focus more on what they love most about running their business, says Robin Joy, vice president, online and mobile at electronic signature software company, DocuSign. "SMB owners have their hands in everything in the business, but most would prefer to delegate tasks they don't enjoy or simply don't have time for. Cloud services give them that option."
And while it's the nature of SMB owners to convince themselves that there isn't any problem they can't solve, the fact is only so many skills can fit in their wheelhouse.
Reducing complexity
"Many SMB owners eventually encounter something that's business-critical, but out of their depth, like IT management or cybersecurity," says Paul Lipman, chief executive officer of Total Defense, a cloud security platform for the SMB market. "So, they turn to the cloud to reduce complexity and costs."
If you're an SMB owner ready to start using cloud apps or cloud-based services in your business, consider these four tips as you explore options:
1. Take a long-term view. You know you need cloud computing to solve certain problems for your business today, but what about the future? How will your processes change by migrating to the cloud? Also, think about how the solution can support your business as it evolves. Will you be able to scale easily, up or down, as needs change?
2. Seek solutions that are easy to deploy, manage and use. The whole point of going to the cloud is to make your business (and you) work more efficiently. Be sure to invest in a solution that takes little time to set up, is upgraded automatically, can be centrally managed, and requires little or no user training. Another consideration: Will the solution be difficult to integrate with other applications and systems you currently use?
3. Place a premium on top-notch customer service. Your business cannot afford any downtime, and that includes waiting on the line for support. You want access to quality customer care to be no more than a click or phone call away. Ideally, try to work with a vendor that offers solutions designed for SMBs, as they're more likely to offer customized support.
4. Take advantage of free trials. Many cloud providers, especially those that market to SMBs, now offer "try before you buy" options. Look for vendors that don't need a credit card number up front; otherwise, you might end up being billed for a service you don't like once the free trial is over.
When evaluating cloud options, confirm that the solution will be easy to use while you're on the go, and will work with the mobile platforms you use most.
"Having anywhere, anytime access to information is one of the most important benefits of cloud computing," says Faraz Shafaghi, product marketing manager for cloud-based accounting solution, FreshBooks. "It helps to keep SMB owners mobilized."
