Yeah baby. This is one of my most anticipated for the year. Got real high hopes for this
That kid's voice sure has changed.
I hate teasers!!! But from the snippet I can't wait to see more. I did imagine the battle school bigger tho. And I can totally see Ford in my mind as Graff now when I think of the books.
EPIC!!!! This movie is going to OWN. This year is so good for movies it blows my mind side open.
I loved this book. I didn't think the movie would ever happen. Great casting as well.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!! although, I dont think I have ever seen a trailer for a trailer before.
I've never read the books and there wasn't enough actual movie footage to comment. I just don't want a teasing tease for a teaser.
And that kid sounds like Peter Dinklage's older brother.
Just finished the book just a few weeks ago. Looking forward to it.
Hope they don't change the end.
Read the books, and loved the concept. I just hope they can do the books justice, and not butcher them. We'll see!
They showed the full trailer at CinemaCon (Han Solo himself was there to intro it) looks pretty good - thinking about reading the book before the movie comes out.

From Emily's facebook:
From Emily's facebook:
I've just logged in on purpose to share this news. Blue Dog beat me to it. lol
it's such a shame that Emily is without a partner... again. :( She is so talented!
Also I wish nothing but the best for Todd as well.
Their FD to Stairway to Heaven was really good and showed a lot of promise. Hopefully they will be able to move on and be happy with their choices.
I read her facebook post too. I'm so glad that she took the time to post the story since their will be no press release from the usfsa. I wish her luck in the future.
I didn't think this partnership was going anywhere..but I want Emily to have a partner..
I feel we wuzrobbed that we haven't been able to see her perform... at the level she's capable of.
I hope she can find a partner . It's still the first split I can't get over, and I don't want carry this resentment around forever.
So sorry for this news! I want Emily to have a dance partner!
First Jana Khokhlova, then Vanessa Crone, and now Emily Samuelson. It's so tragec that all these first-rate female ice dancers are without worthy partners...
According to their bios, their heights are:
- Copely 5' 7"
- Samuelson 5' 4"
[For comparison: Lichtman 5' 6". But Bates 6' 2", and T Gilles 6' 0".]
In any case, best wishes to Emily and to Todd.
I think it would be soapy gold if Todd Gilles went to Canada to skate with Vanessa Crone.

Physical Conditioning
Hunting often demands more physical exertion than you're accustomed to doing. Conditions that may hamper your physical ability to perform safely and responsibly while hunting include:
- Allergies
- Asthma
- A heart condition
- Excess weight
- Poor physical conditioning
Your mental condition impacts your performance as well.
Prepare for your hunt by getting in shape well in advance. The amount of time that it will take to get in shape will depend on your physical condition and the difficulty of the planned hunt.

Working Paper | HBS Working Paper Series | 2013 Management: Theory and Practice, and Cases Richard L. Nolan This working paper reports on a major Harvard Business School project designed to enhance MBA and practicing executives in case learning. The work is built on the foundation of HBS field cases employing the monomyth "hero's journey" classic story structure along with the creation of associated fictional case characters designed to engage readers in the dimensions of human behavior, decision-making, and judgments in carrying out the work of the modern corporation. A most fortuitous event in starting the project was the engagement of our research assistant with a theater academic background, and experience as a scriptwriter and director at a repertory theater. Shannon O'Connell noted that our collection of field cases on learning to become a successful functional manager had the potential to be organized into an executive's "hero's journey." This setoff a process: (1) completing our field cases to encompass the issue domain of an IT functional manager; (2) recrafting the cases from multiple industries to include one industry; (3) integrating the key characters of monomyth hero's journey, and (4) writing the case dialogue for the protagonist's, Jim Barton, hero's journey. The result was our novel-based Harvard Business Press book: Adventures of an IT Leader (2009). In our Adventures book, we experimented with mechanisms to facilitate active learning such as Jim Barton's "living whiteboard," whereby Barton kept a running list of ideas associated with a set of evolving principles of IT management. Another mechanism we used to facilitate reader/student introspection was end-of-chapter/cases Reflections. Also, we experimented with audio versions of book chapters in the classroom. We went on to continue Jim Barton's hero's journey in a second Harvard Business Press book using the same novel format, but a different industry and executive context: Harder Than I Thought: Adventures of a Twenty-first Century Leader (2013). Harder focuses on CEO leadership in the global economy and the fast-changing IT-enabled pace of business. We extended the mechanism of Barton's living white board to interludes in the book of simulations and avatars to explore CEO decision-making.

Book | 2012 Harder Than I Thought: Adventures of a Twenty-First Century Leader Robert D. Austin, Richard L. Nolan and Shannon O'Donnell Being a great leader today is much harder than you think—meet Jim Barton. He's a newly minted CEO, rising leader of a firm in transition, and manager of massive complexity—thanks to our incredibly networked and increasingly unpredictable world of business. What if you were in his shoes? If you're a top executive today, you probably are. "Harder Than I Thought" is a fictional narrative that puts the increasingly complex job of Chief Executive in a very real context. It serves as a practical guide by allowing you to walk alongside Jim as he takes on his new role and all its attendant challenges. Jim's story—developed in collaboration with seasoned, real-life CEOs—includes crucial lessons for anyone hoping to master the new-world skills required of successful business leaders today. As the narrative unfolds, Jim grapples with an array of business crises, some he inherited and some of his own making. As events push this new leader to the edge of his abilities, he seeks counsel from a panel of advisers—resulting in a wealth of teaching moments bound to keep you captivated. Experts agree that many twentieth-century leadership practices won't work in the turbulent twenty-first century. This engaging book gives you the insights you'll need to navigate in a fast-changing business landscape.

Cubs, Phillies square off, try to get on track
Jackson gets the call for Chicago; Kendrick starts for Philly
Monday will be a much-needed off-day for the Cubs and Phillies.
Both teams enter the opener of their three-game series at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday mired in their losing ways.
The Cubs come to Philadelphia following a disappointing 1-7 homestand, while the Phillies have lost 13 of 14, their worst 14-game stretch since September 1999.
One of Philadelphia's second-half wins belongs to right-hander Kyle Kendrick, who takes the mound Tuesday looking to rebound from an abysmal outing his last time out against the Giants. Kendrick turned in his shortest start of the season on Wednesday, allowing seven runs (six earned) on eight hits in two-plus innings.
"They found some holes, and it was a frustrating night for me," said Kendrick, whose ERA has risen from 3.68 to 4.29 after his last three starts.
Junior Lake looks to lead the Cubs offense' against Kendrick on Tuesday, as the rookie sensation has flashed enormous potential since entering Chicago's lineup. The left fielder has 25 hits in his first 18 games, with his 25 knocks in his first 17 the second most by a Cub since 1921.
Lake went 0-for-4 in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers, but has already notched two four-hit games and a two-homer game in his short career. Lake has been hitting in the two-hole in the Cubs' lineup, and although his early offensive output suggests he could hit lower, manager Dale Sveum said earlier this week he's going to keep Lake and his small sample size batting second for now.
"Right now I like him where he's been. He's doing just fine," Sveum said. "I mean, those kind of things you project once they, you know, have got a lot of at-bats in and see how they are. A lot of things are dictated [by] the rest of the personnel on your team. So it's hard to say he's this or he's that. And you don't have really a three or a two or whatever, you can go on and on about that. But until it's all said and done, you're not going to want to mess with anything."
Cubs: Jackson on the hill
Right-hander Edwin Jackson takes the mound Tuesday looking to build on a successful July. The Cubs' biggest offseason acquisition has struggled for most of the season -- sporting a 5.84 ERA on June 25 -- but was 3-1 with a 1.83 ERA in five July starts.
He is 1-4 with a 4.45 ERA in five career starts against the Phillies.
• The Cubs hit .226 with runners in scoring position on their recently completed homestand, the same as their season average in such situations.
Phillies: Ruf on a roll
Darin Ruf has reached base safely in 32 straight games, the longest active streak in the National League. It's also the longest such streak by a Phillie since Chase Utley reached safely in 33 straight from Sept. 7, 2008 to April 22, 2009.
• All-Star outfielder Domonic Brown is expected to rejoin the Phillies on Wednesday. He's been out after sustaining a concussion diving for a fly ball on July 23 and is anxious to get back.
"It feels like it's been a long time, I'm not going to lie to you," Brown said.
• Phillies manager Charlie Manuel is three wins shy of 1,000 for his career.
Worth noting
• The Cubs have 26 road wins compared to 23 at Wrigley Field and are one of only three teams (Mets and Royals) with more wins on the road than at home.
• Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo is hitting .313 with two doubles and three homers in his last nine games.
• The Phillies have lost their last five series.

Research Summary
Lay Summary -
Dr. Friedman investigates mechanisms through which normal proteins control the formation of bone marrow stem cells and how these stem cells then develop into neutrophils and monocytes. He is also studying how normal bone marrow cells become transformed into acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In conducting these studies he focuses on two proteins, RUNX1 and C/EBPa, which regulate normal bone marrow development but are also commonly mutated in AML. Dr. Friedman is attempting to build on his basic research to develop useful clinical applications. In particular, he is pursuing small molecules that interfere with the action of leukemic RUNX1 or C/EBPa proteins as potential novel therapies for AML, and he is investigating means to expand normal blood stem cells to benefit patients with marrow failure or those many patients receiving chemotherapy who would benefit from blood product support to avoid anemia, bleeding, and infections.
Technical Summary -
RUNX1 is a transcription factor required for the formation of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) and for its further maturation. RUNX1 is commonly mutated or involved in chromosomal translocations associated with AML or ALL. Dr. Friedman''s laboratory is investigating the mechanisms that allow RUNX1 to regulate normal hematopoietic stem cells and myeloid differentiation and to stimulate cell cycle progression. He ultimately envisions developing means to manipulate RUNX1 to assist formation and expansion of HSC from embryonic stem cells and to assist formation of autologous neutrophils to benefit patients with neutropenia. In addition, Dr. Friedman is investigating how mutations of RUNX1 or its partner CBFb contribute to acute leukemia, focusing on CBFb-SMMHC, a fusion oncoprotein expressed from the inv(16) chromosome in a subset of AML patients. Ultimately, he would like to identify small molecules that target CBFb-SMMHC to assist in the therapy of AML.
C/EBPa is a transcription factor required for formation of normal neutrophils and monocytes. C/EBPa is also commonly mutated in blasts derived from patients with AML. Dr. Friedman''s laboratory is investigating how C/EBPa cooperates with other proteins, including cytokines such as G-CSF or M-CSF, to control normal myeloid development. In addition, he is investigating how mutant forms of C/EBPa contribute to AML, in particular focusing on how interaction between C/EBPa and another transcription factor, NF-kB, inhibits apoptosis. By mapping the amino acids through which these proteins interact, Dr. Friedman hopes to ultimately design small molecules that prevent their interaction to induce leukemic cell death and contribute to the therapy of AML. As C/EBPs and NF-kB are also expressed also in other malignancies and in inflammatory cells which contribute to cancer formation and progression, such a small molecule might in addition have broader utility as a novel therapeutic.

One of the nice things about Portland's The Commons Brewery is its emphasis on (low alcohol) farmhouse ales and sours. I recently visited their tasting room and enjoyed most of their offerings and would only classify their Berliner Weisse as a "work in progress" (not lactic enough). The beer that intrigued me the most was Eidolon, a limited release in the "Beetje Series" (referring to the nano-brewery that gave rise to The Commons Brewery). Eidolon is a collaborative sour farmhouse ale with meyer lemon juice and peel, jasmine green tea and flowers, and New Zealand hallertau hops, matured in red wine barrels with two strains of brettanomyces. This beer has an ABV of 7.5%. and I tasted it on September 16, 2012.
Poured in a De Cam geuze glass, the beer has a deep golden/amber color, is surprisingly clear, and even a relatively vigorous pour only produced a little head, which dissipated quickly. The aroma is lactic and fruity with some sweetness. The lactic aroma is nicely complemented by a modest Brett-induced barnyard character. The taste initially reflects this sweet and sour aroma but there is a lot more going on here, most notably an unusual but pleasant earthy 'dark' licorice flavor (flowers?) that ends in a fairly long finish. I have a hard time characterizing this finish; it could be the tea, the hops, something else, or all of them. I am also reminded of drinking a good barrel-aged dry cider but did not notice much astringency. The beer has a medium but slightly sticky mouthfeel and very low carbonation. In fact, I would argue that the carbonation is really on the low side for any kind of beer style except unblended straight lambic. Perhaps the brewers wanted to err on the side of caution with the two added strains of brettanomyces.
This was really a nice, and positively unusual, concoction. Using sour beers as a vehicle for botanicals opens a world of unlimited possibilities, provided it is executed with knowledge and skill. One thing that is hard to improve upon is the label (more information here). If the style and ingredients list would not have pulled me in, the beautiful label would have done it. I am definitely looking forward to tasting more (sour) brews by The Commons Brewery. And if you like going to the Upright tasting room, there is a good chance you will like going to the Commons tasting room, too.

TESTAMENT's ALEX SKOLNICK on life before and after Thrash
by admin on Jun.24, 2010, under interviews
This interview was conducted on May 29th, 2009 in Raleigh, NC.
When you think of Bay Area Thrash, you think of four bands; Metallica, Exodus, Testament, and Death Angel. Sure there were others of that time, and many that came later. But those four bands defined Thrash Metal and the 'Bay Area' sound. Naturally there were none bigger than Metallica, but close on their heels has to be Testament. After 24 years, numerous lineup changes, a throat cancer scare, and a nine year period of inactivity, Testament is back with a new album Formation of Damnation featuring Chuck Billy on vocals, Eric Peterson on guitar, Alex Skolnick on guitar, Greg Christian on bass, and Paul Bostaph on drums. A new tour that is taking the bands to markets they haven't played in 15 years or more (I caught the show in Raleigh, NC, and there was much debate as to whether Testament had actually ever played Raleigh before). And a new focus and determination to take the band higher and farther than it has ever been before. I met with Alex Skolnick right before their set at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh, and talked about Testament, Trans Siberian Orchestra, the Alex Skolnick Trio and life before and after Testament. Here we go….
Away-Team: This is Jim Keller with Alex Skolnick from Testament. Once again I want to thank you for sitting down and doing this interview with us, much appreciated.
Alex: Absolutely!
Away-Team: What I'd like to do basically is start at the beginning of the band.
Alex: Okay.
Away-Team: Testament was originally started as The Legacy..
Alex: Right…
Away-Team: By Eric (Peterson) and his cousin. They had Steve Souza in the band as a vocalist who left to join Exodus before you recorded your first album. It was reported that he actually suggested Chuck (Billy) as his replacement. Why did Steve leave?
Alex: Well it was funny 'cause he was the guy that gave us all serious talking toos about how everybody in this band has to be serious. You know when I joined the band he's like you're either serious, you either take this seriously or you take it somewhere else. We don't want guys that are just in here that are just gonna leave and join some other band. Sure enough *laughs* he's the guy that ends up leaving. But you know he left because I think he felt Exodus was going farther, faster.
Away-Team: At that time when you joined, you were a student of Joe Satriani's Correct?
Alex: Correct.
Away-Team: And after you joined the band did you continue practicing with him, learning from him?
Alex: I studied with him for about two years. I was with him, basically for the first six months I was in the band and then he started getting really busy. He did his first solo recordings. He definitely uh got me to learn a lot more on my own than I would have otherwise.
Away-Team: So, is it kind of a prerequisite that if you're going to be in one of the better thrash bands out of San Francisco a la Testament, Metallica; you had to learn from Joe?
Alex: Apparently!! Everybody studied with him, yeah!
Away-Team: Before the first album or during the recording of the first album you had to change your name from The Legacy because there was some jazz band apparently that had the name…
Alex: It was a hotel band…
Away-Team: A hotel band had copyrighted the name The Legacy?
Alex: Yeah. A hotel R&B band in New Orleans.
Away-Team: So the story I had heard was that the reason you changed it to Testament was because the CD artwork – everything was already done and the label didn't want to re-do everything, so you had named the album originally Testament…
Alex: That's not true
Away-Team: That's not true, okay, so how did you come up with Testament, then?
Alex: Billy Milano, the singer for SOD came up with the name. Ya know he was on Megaforce Records. So basically an all points bulletin went out, to find a name for the band that Megaforce had just signed. So yeah, I think the guys from Anthrax were suggesting names. Everybody at the record label suggested. We were trying to come up with names and it was Billy Milano that came up with the name Testament.
Away-Team: Did he know you guys or was it just kind of, this is a cool name they should use something like this?
Alex: We had met him, once. But I think he had come up… I feel like I had met him, like maybe when we were recording the first album, and we just, we knew we had to have a name, before the album was released, obviously and it was just one of many suggestions and it was the one, we kind of lived with it for a while and it felt the best.
Away-Team: Your current album, Formation of Damnation, to me is far and away the strongest album you guys have recorded since Practice What You Preach. It's probably a more straightforward thrash sounding album than some of the last few albums. Was this a culmination of various writing from the last nine years or did you all sit down and write the album together as a whole band?
Alex: No, it was a combination. I think the previous album the guys did when I wasn't with the band, The Gathering, that was the first one I felt, a lot of people felt, where Chuck and Eric sort of found a formula that works for them. So I didn't want to really, get in the way of that formula and try to make it 1989 again. But I made a lot of suggestions with the music they were doing and I did bring in some music of my own. Some of that got used; the song F.E.A.R. is something I wrote. But it was more a combination of ideas that Chuck and Eric had had, playing around with some new stuff.
Away-Team: And Eric being the predominant songwriter, music writer for the band, now with this you're current lineup which is the semi-reunited lineup or the original lineup with addition of Paul Bostaph is it a more of a collaborative thing now or at least going forward to looking at the next album is going to be more collaborative?
Alex: We'll see, just kind of going to let it happen as it happens.
Away-Team: And will there be a new album?
Alex: There will eventually be, yes.
Away-Team: We mentioned the many lineup changes you guys have done over the years. You being one of them. You guys all got together in 2001 as The Legacy for the Chuck Billy cancer benefit. That show saw the best of the Bay Area thrash scene reuniting for a great cause. Bands like Exodus, Death Angel, Sadus, Vio-lence and of course you. In the last eight years or so, Exodus, Death Angel, you guys now with the Formation of Damnation, have released what many consider to be the best music of your individual and collective careers. Some amazing stuff has come out of the original Bay Area thrash scene in the last couple years. It seems that it's alive and well again. What do you attribute the current popularity or resurrection of the Bay Area trash scene to?
Alex: Well I think part of it is it's not as isolated as it used to be. It used to be this very isolated area of music. Pretty much limited to the Bay Area with the exception of ya know Megadeth from LA and Anthrax form New York. I think it's now like one of many genres of very heavy metal. Ya know you have black metal, you have death metal from Florida and it all relates to thrash metal. There are all these relatives in metal. And now you've got some newer bands that have formed in the last ten, fifteen years that in some cases are seeing a lot of success and that's brought a lot more awareness to the original Bay Area thrash scene. So when we first did the reunion shows it was unclear what kind of type of fan we would have. Was it just going to be Old School fans? But there are actually a lot of young fans that are keeping it alive and well.
Away-Team: Well, if you go in the venue right now; I was very surprised. 'Cause that was one of the things I looked at as they were lining up out here. Is that they are all going to be my age or our age like a bunch of older guys standing out here but the entire crowd in there tonight has gotta be 25 or younger!
Alex: And if we depended on guys our age, the audience wouldn't be that big. Let's face it.
Away-Team: Yeah. Absolutely.
Alex: People get to be our age and they have jobs, families; most don't go out to shows like they did when they were in their twenties. So it's nice to have a combination. It's not that we have, we haven't lost the original fans. But we do have this big young following now. I think a lot of other bands are seeing that as well, like Exodus.
Away-Team: You had mentioned what I call, like the second wave of thrash.. 10 to 15 year old bands. Today you've got bands like the band on stage right now, Lazarus AD. Very, very similar to the old Bay Area thrash style. Warbringer, Municipal Waste a lot of very young bands, that seeing a lot of good response, that can be harkened right back to you guys. It's like the third generation now. Twenty years later there's still bands coming out and they're not Retro, they're not recreating the sound, but they are continuing it if nothing else and that's got to really, for you guys to be their inspiration, it's really got to be something.
Alex: It's great. It's also great because for so long we were told our music's not going to last. It's passing. It's in left field. It was this outcast music that nobody predicted a future for. So there's the answer right there. Great, new young bands that are doing it today.
Away-Team: And twenty four years later, you guys are still out here kicking ass, so it's very cool. Going back to the formation of not damnation, but of Testament. Can you name one of your favorite memories of the mid to late eighties in the Bay Area Thrash music scene? Some of the shows from The Stone or Ruthie's Inn or Mabuhay Gardens?
Alex: Yeah, I will say I remember one time Metallica playing at Ruthie's unannounced, just to do a warm-up. That was great. They did a lot of, they did some punk covers. It was just a fun gig. Uh, there was also this project called Spastik Children, with Cliff Burton, James Hetfield on drums and it was like comedy like sort of South Park before South Park. Completely politically incorrect, funny, bad, badly played on purpose music.
Away-Team: God, I forgot all about Spastik Children…
Alex: Yeah, some of those shows are pretty memorable.
Away-Team: With Metallica coming from L.A., basically because the L.A. scene just couldn't handle them. The crowds didn't get what they were trying to do, with you guys, Vio-lence, Exodus, Death Angel, were you kind of a close knit community? Was it kind of you against everybody else? Was there a lot of camaraderie there, or..?
Alex: I'd say there was camaraderie and competition simultaneously. Everybody wanted to be the best band they could and even though a lot of us we didn't really sound alike. You always had to keep an eye out for the other bands. It's like different football teams that are all in the same league. You want, as a whole you want to do well, but you still want to come out on top, above everybody else.
Away-Team: I understand. Your current tour, in support of the Formation of Damnation, is unique in that you guys are allowing the fans to vote, via your MySpace page, for the set list they want to hear in their given town. You have three options, The Legacy, plus hits, The New Order plus hits, or a chronicle set list, basically from start to finish of your catalogue. How did you guys come about the idea? How has it been received? And any regrets on having to keep rotating a roughly thirty song playlist on tour?
Alex: It's worked out very easily, because overwhelmingly everybody's voted for the Chronicle stuff, so that's pretty much what we've done. And I'm not sure who came up with the idea, but it's definitely been a very good idea and it's just been fun to hear from the fans. And in the process they've not only voted on the songs, a lot of them have made suggestions a long the way. "We want to hear a chronicle, but we really want to hear this song. Why don't you play this song?"
Away-Team: And you guys are actually listening and paying attention to what they're…
Alex: Oh absolutely.
Away-Team: Beside the main lineup changes, you guys have several label changes over the years; mainly due to simple bad luck and the labels folding on you. Did I read though that somehow you guys ended up on a gospel label prior to signing with Nuclear Blast?
Alex: Well I think what happened was we were signed to Spitfire which got bought by another label, which was a gospel label.
Away-Team: OK. And they had no interest in releasing the new Testament CD? Laughs
Alex: Oh, Exactly. I'm sure at first they thought, oh this is perfect.
Away-Team: A "New Testament" band awesome!
Alex: And then they found out what it was and then they let the band go, no problem.
Away-Team: So did Spitfire have some religious bands on their roster?
Alex: I don't think so. I'm not sure.
Away-Team: Laughs. Alright, you are currently on Nuclear Blast and they are treating you well…
Alex: Treating us great. It's a great partnership absolutely.
Away-Team: Good, good. When the current tour with Unearth and Lazarus AD, at least the North American leg of it is over, what are you guys' plans? Where are you going next?
Alex: We're off for a couple weeks, then we're going to be in Europe for July and part of August to do a lot of festivals.
Away-Team: Do you have any plans for a follow up album and will we have to wait another nine years for it?
Alex: No, it'll be recorded next year, most likely released, late, by late next year
Away-Team: Great! With all the side projects, from your various members, Dragonlord, you in Trans Siberian Orchestra, Chuck's Dublin Death Patrol and your jazz trio, how do you guys find time to get together, to record and tour? And how does that affect, I mean is Testament now the priority or is it 'we can fit in Testament around these various projects'? TSO's a big deal, it's a big show and you have to…
Alex: Yeah, it's a unique situation, because I was already, I'd already been playing with TSO for several years by the time the Testament reunion happened. So it's been pretty understood that during the months of the Winter TSO tour I'm not available. I do my best, as far as my trio and I have couple other projects I'm involved with as well, some as a producer which I can't talk about yet. They're…They're gonna be
Away-Team: Then I won't ask that question…
Alex: Pretty exciting times and projects… We're doing an album cycle right now. So, since last year we've been doing an album cycle, so this, Testament has been the priority. Soon as we're done with this album cycle I think there's going to be a slight shift in priorities. The way this record got created was a lot of the basics were worked on while I was with TSO, I would write ideas, which I think is going to happen this next tour as well, and then I think next year, Before the album cycle, before the Testament album cycle starts, that's going to be a good chance for me to do a lot more stuff with the Alex Skolnick Trio. But then, of course, once the Testament album cycle starts then that's going to be the priority. It really depends on where we are in terms of the album cycle..
Away-Team: So everybody's working together though, with all their side projects, everything kind of fits in OK and there's no real conflict going on with it?
Alex: Yeah, I mean it's a different thing with me, because with TSO it's a very set tour. With Dragonlord, Eric decides, when that tours. With my Trio there are people that decide it with me, so we work to make sure that we capitalize on any available time I have to tour with them.
Away-Team: I have heard that some of your solos for Formation of Damnation were recorded while on tour with TSO and done in someone's bathroom in New York. Is that correct?
Alex: That's not true. I mean the part about the bathroom is not true. What basically happened was some of the solos were recorded in Albany, when TSO had some days off in 2007. The first studio that we found was a guy's basement…
Away-Team: It was his basement, OK
Alex: Yeah. And it just, it was an awful situation. We had like 48 hours, we had two days and the goal was to do all of the solos and basically a whole day was wasted. We were getting all of this radio signal out of the amps and the guy had no idea what to do about it. So then we found a really good studio the one that we should've been at all along and I did half of the songs, and I did the other half as soon I was done with the TSO tour.
Away-Team: Now did you already have the solos worked out or a rough idea what you were going to do with them…
Alex: I had a couple rough ideas, but some of them I came up with on the spot….
Away-Team: 'Cause they're some outstanding solos.
Alex: Thank you!
Away-Team: Across the board the musicianship and the work on Formation of Damnation is actually very stellar…
Alex: I appreciate that.
Away-Team: Paul Bostaph is currently drumming for you. This his second stint in the band now. He's played with some other great bands besides Testament. He started out with Forbidden… Slayer, Exodus and another not as well known Bay Area band, but that I'm very familiar with, Systematic. He's kind of become known as the 'go to' metal drummer, almost like a journeyman. Is he now a permanent member of Testament?
Alex: It certainly feels that way. That remains to be seen. Yeah, it definitely feels that way. I know on our end there's no thought of working with anybody else…
Away-Team: OK, so Louie's not going to come knocking on the bus one day? Where is Louie?
Alex: Louie comes… Louie makes appearances. He's always… He always visits us when we play. He was just on tour with us for three days…
Away-Team: Oh, really?
Alex: He doesn't really play any more. He just likes to hang out. We like having him around. It works out well. We get him away from his job. He's like a, a relative…
Away-Team: Is there anything you haven't done yet, goal-wise or music-wise that you still want to? And what is it?
Alex: Yeah there's a lot of things. Definitely, I'm close, I mean I feel like with my instrumental albums I'm able to do the music that's in my head. Which is great! For me it's just getting my instrumental stuff to a wider audience. And I'd like to see Testament reach a wider audience as well. The truth is, what I would really like to see is the trio playing venues like Testament's playing; those size crowds. I'd like to see Testament playing to crowds more like TSO's.
Away-Team: Absolutely!
Alex: I get this experience of every year playing in front of a packed arena. Sometimes twice a day! And this band has never experienced that. That kind of production, that kind of audience. We've had some great support slots in arenas. But I think this could be a great arena band.
Away-Team: You guys have never actually headlined arenas?
Alex: Never
Away-Team: Really. Wow, I did not realize that.
Alex: Yep!
Away-Team: There's many bands out there today that are citing Testament as an influence, as a musician it's got to be an ultimate compliment. How do you react to something like that? I mean, how does that make you feel?
Alex: Great! It feels great. It's a great compliment. It's not something you think about while you're doing it, while you're in the studio or playing live; about having an influence on somebody else, you just do what you do. But when you hear that, it's amazing, 'cause having had many influences myself, just to think that I was able to be what I saw in my favorite guitars players, other people are seeing in me, which is really, really cool.
Away-Team: Who are some of your influences?
Alex: Well, it started out with Randy Rhodes and Eddie Van Halen, Michael Shanker. I studied their influences, Jeff Beck, Clapton, Hendrix and then the classic Blues players. And then once I got into Jazz, Wes Montgomery, Pat Metheny…
Away-Team: What made you pick up a guitar to begin with?
Alex: KISS.
Away-Team: Really?
Alex: Yep. I discovered KISS and wanted to play KISS songs.
Away-Team: And it was the guitar always?
Alex: It was piano, very briefly in third grade. And then I had a bad music teacher and I, I quit piano. Now I bought a piano. I still like to play, but I have no plans to play professionally.
Away-Team: We're not going to see you in a hotel lounge somewhere tickling the ivories…
Alex: Not anytime soon!
Away-Team: Well Alex, that pretty much wraps up my questions. I do appreciate your time… I wish you much luck with the rest of the tour…
Alex: Thank you!
Away-Team: The festivals this summer, of course TSO in the winter and then at some point next year we'll hear a little bit from the trio again.
Alex: Yeah, yeah, going to try to squeeze out a new trio album. Or at least an EP this year.
Away-Team: Great! Alright, well I appreciate it Alex, thank you very much again for your time!
Alex: No problem Jim, good to see you again.
There you have it. We got some shout outs to Cliff Burton, James Hetfield and Spastik Children, Billy Milano of MOD and SOD, and KISS! My thanks to Brian at Adrenaline PR for setting up the interview, Mark for ensuring it actually happened, Alex for jumping in last minute and rescuing the interview, and Bam Bam as always for getting me in the interviews to begin with!
If you haven't heard Formation Of Damnation go pick it up NOW!!!! And check out Testament on the road. The show that night was nothing short of amazing. The guys played with a furiousness that belied their age, and a sense of fun and having a good time. The music and vocals were spot on, and I did not hear one person walk away from that show with a bad word.

Rockies renew rivalry with division champs
Colorado has lost each of its first two series and will be looking for a spark against Arizona, a team that took 13 out of 18 games against the Rockies last season. Colorado, in fact, went 9-9 against two different division rivals -- the Dodgers and Padres -- last season and finished with a combined record of 10-26 against the D-backs and Giants.
Arizona, meanwhile, demonstrated dominance of the division en route to winning its first NL West crown since 2007. The D-backs logged winning records against Los Angeles (10-8) and San Diego (11-7) but took a .500 mark against San Francisco (9-9). Arizona started this season by sweeping the Giants and playing a tight series against the Padres.
The Rockies have scored more than three runs just twice this season, and they managed to win both of those games. They'll welcome Nicasio back home Saturday, and he'll be making his first start at Coors Field since being struck by a line drive and suffering a fractured neck last August. Despite that memory, Nicasio has had plenty of good times at home.
The 25-year-old showed an intriguing performance split last year, when he logged a 4-1 record and a 1.98 ERA at Coors Field and an 0-3 record and a 7.04 mark in six starts everywhere else. Nicasio turned in an excellent road start in his season debut, when he logged seven innings and allowed just one earned run in a no-decision against the Astros.
"You see what he's got -- he's got everything," catcher Wilin Rosario said after the game. "Nothing has changed. It's like nothing happened before. I know that guy like my hand."
Arizona will counter with Hudson, who has seen more than 80 percent of his career starts turn into decisions. The right-hander went 16-12 and had just five no-decisions last season, and he also took home the league's Silver Slugger Award for pitchers. Hudson went 1-2 in three starts against Colorado last season and logged a 3.72 ERA against the Rockies.
In his first start of the season on April 7, Hudson had a solid outing, tossing 6 2/3 innings and giving up four runs on five hits for the win.
D-backs: Kubel in two spot
On Thursday, Jason Kubel became the fourth player to hit second for the D-backs in the team's first six games this season. He joined Chris Young, Aaron Hill and Gerardo Parra.
"He's one of our, I think, purest hitters," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said of Kubel. "I decided to put him up there, wanted to split the lefties up throughout the lineup. I wanted to give him an opportunity to get some more plate appearances. We can do some things with him."
Kubel responded by driving in the go-ahead run with a double in the sixth inning.
Young is a career .238 hitter in April -- and a .240 hitter overall -- but he hasn't let his history get in the way of his early-season production. Arizona's center fielder has homered twice and driven in six runs in his first five games, providing a spark for the D-backs. He started fast last year too, when he hit seven of his 20 homers in the season's first month.
Rockies: Cuddyer settling in
Michael Cuddyer has hit safely in five of his first six games for the Rockies, and he's delivered multihit games in three of his first six starts. The former Twin has started at right field in each of his first six games, but he's also logged one inning as a replacement at first base. The versatile veteran played three positions in 2011 and five the season before.
Cuddyer, the ninth overall pick in the 1997 First-Year Player Draft, played 11 seasons for Minnesota and hit .272 with 141 homers. He went to the All-Star Game last year for the first time and signed with Colorado over the winter.
Worth noting Todd Helton has started for the Rockies on Opening Day in 15 straight seasons, the longest active streak for any player on one team in the Major Leagues.
Colorado scored 17 runs and notched 22 hits without hitting a home run Wednesday night, setting franchise records in both categories for games without a homer.
Arizona's coaching staff can boast of five All-Stars, two former Most Valuable Players, five Silver Sluggers and two playoff MVP awards.

Introduction | Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 Sensor Performance | Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 versus competition | Conclusion |
With an overall DxOMark Score of 66, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 comes in at 54th place among all cameras tested on DxOMark, and takes first place among conventional digital compacts equipped with a zoom lens. Only the Fujifilm X100 with its APS-C sensor does better.
With a DxOMark Portrait Score of 22.6 bits, the RX100 places 54th in terms of color depth among all cameras tested, and likewise is at the head of the pack of all conventional compacts tested (beaten only by the Fujifilm X100).
With a DxOMark Landscape score of 12.4EV, the 1" CMOS sensor offers a high dynamic range for a digital compact. It ranks 32nd in the standings, tied with the APS-C sensor of the X100, and even surpasses several older-generation full-format reflexes such as the Nikon D700 and D3, and the Sony Alpha 850. By way of comparison, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II measured 11.9EV.
Low-light sensitivity: no miracles here with this 1-inch sensor, large and small at the same time, that fits in between the 1/1.7-inch sensors of the usual expert compacts and APS-C or 4:3 sensors of the hybrids and entry-level reflex cameras. Achieving 390 ISO and ranked 137th for this criterion, the Sony RX100 remains the most sensitive of the small-sized expert compact digital cameras, second only to the very bulky Canon Powershot G1 X. The RX100 gains 1 stop with respect to the scores for the more conventional compact sensors, a gain directly tied to the sensor surface area.
The strengths of the Sony RX100 sensor
The weakness of the Sony RX100 sensor
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Sony's latest expert compact camera, the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100, incorporates a 1-inch sensor that is larger than the 1/1.7" and 2/3" sensors of its competitors. Sony has already surprised us over the past few years with its highly efficient CMOS sensors. Will this be the case for the RX100? Our DxOMark tests reveal the answer. |
A "premium" digital camera, the Sony DSC-RX100 is not lacking in persuasiveness: a larger-than-usual CMOS sensor; a bright, high-quality wide-angle (f1/8) lens; a more compact size than all other expert APNs on the market; and a weight that is only half that of the Canon PowerShot G1 X. All complemented by the latest Sony image technologies, such as 50p video, rapid burst shooting, integrated HDR, shooting at night without a tripod, and a brand-new "WhiteMagic" display screen. Does this mean that the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 will become the new camera of reference among expert compacts? |

No Lens sharpness measurements?
I have noted that none (or few) tests of compact cameras include any sharpness scores or measurements. Is there a reason that DXO doesn't provide those measurement?

bo hee song it looks awesome, the material feels nice, it's very pleasing to the eyes which is the best thing, and i will buy these again, i wished they were easy to clean somehow, I wished they would include instructions on how to clean these and with what.. the comfort of the shoes is average. I wished it was more comfortable but it's fine. $40 is a great price for these shoes. I can't wait to buy another pair of these I wear them everyday cos they look terrific!
Please make them easily cleanable so I can clean them once a week to make them look like new and I'll surely pay $10 more if you can include accessories, gel, lotion and instructions to clean them.These shoes look amazing good job Etnies staff!! you guys make my day my week my whole month good, I am so happy with these shoes that I ordered from this website.
Andrew Creasey Great pair of quality shoes, fast delivery and look just like the image. Will defiantly be coming back for anther pair when these wear out.
El Desperado Great shoes, it appears they're not going to wear out easily even with the daily abuse I inflict to them. Color scheme's quite sober thus goes with almost anything (except maybe brown pair of jeans). The missing star for value goes for the price... eh, ain't a product always too pricey regarding one's expectations ;)
