Noisecreep interviews AURORA SKY's Chris Shy
by admin on Jul.29, 2010, under news
Noisecreep interviewed AURORA SKY's Chris Shy recently. And here's what they had to say:
"You may have never heard of brand new band Aurora Sky yet, but you will. Former Stuck Mojo/Stereomud/Dark New Day bassist Corey Lowery digs the band so much that he decided to co-produce their new record. Through a series of serendipitous events, the demo ended up on Lowery's desk and the band is getting its liftoff. "It is teetering between more aggressive modern rock music and active rock," guitarist Chris Shy told Noisecreep. "It's overall a more aggressive modern rock band for fans of bands like Shinedown, Seether and Filter." "

Sky's the Limit- An Interview with Aurora Sky's Andrew "Gambit" West
by admin on Jun.27, 2010, under interviews, news
What do you do when the band you founded signs a major label deal, and then suddenly breaks up? If you're Andrew West and Chris Shy, you pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and create music's next big thing… Aurora Sky. When Fear the Clown got signed to Columbia Records, Andrew West and Chris Shy were on top of the world, soon that world came crashing down. From those ashes, comes Aurora Sky, ready to unleash holy hell unto the masses. Lucky for me, I had the chance to chat with Aurora Sky's lead singer Andrew "Gambit" West, as they recorded at famed producer Ben Grosse's The Mix Room studios in Burbank, CA. Here's how my conversation with the world's next great frontman went…
AWAY-TEAM: Alright, so you guys are an unsigned band out of Oklahoma City, working with uber producer Ben Grosse (FILTER/SEVENDUST/MARILYN MANSON/BREAKING BENJAMIN/ and MANY others), Justin Walden (SEVENDUST/GODSMACK/KORN) has the programming and synth layering duties, and guys like Corey Lowery (DARK NEW DAY/STEREOMUD/SEVENDUST) on bass, and Glen Sobel (SIXX A.M./BEAUTIFUL CREATURES) on drums. How does an unsigned band from middle America end up recording in L.A. with world renowned talent like this?
ANDREW WEST: It came about, we were actually working with another producer that's up and coming, out of Florida, and he was kinda taking us in a direction that is not us in the first place. And we weren't getting the right vibe from it, and uh, even though he's super talented and everything it just wasn't the vibe we were looking for. So uh, Chris actually, we were talking about the music and the direction it's going, and it was like "Ya know, I wanna challenge Craig (Stegall) our manager to go further and far beyond…I have a really good idea" So you know he reaches out and challenges him to get a hold of Ben Grosse, and like with no realization that ya know it's probably not gonna happen, or whatever. They make contact, Ben hears the demos of Aurora Sky, and comes back with "I think there's a great chemistry, and creativity in these guys in the way they write. I would definitely be interested in working with them, and see what comes of it" So that's how it all came about, on that line of it.
AWAY-TEAM: That's a great endorsement. In fact you've gotten ringing endorsements from the likes of Godsmack's Shannon Larkin, and as I understand it, you guys were actually contacted by Richard Patrick of Filter. What did he have to say?
ANDREW WEST: Chris actually spoke with him, we had contacted different artists and bands that have previously worked with Ben just to kinda get a heads up, and get a feel for how he works and operates. The producers, ya know, from producer to producer it's always a little bit different, so we wanted to get an idea of what we were jumping into. So ya know, we got to speak with him a bit, and other people like the guitarist from Simon Says…there's a lot of people that we were just kinda e-mailing back and forth and Facebooking, and getting to chat with them and ask "How was your experience working with Ben?" And, I mean they were all just really cool, it was really uplifting, it was just exciting to be able to talk to them, and humbling at the same time, it's like "Wow, these people actually get back to us." Ya know, we're "nobody" from Oklahoma, and they're actually taking the time to talk to us, so that was pretty cool. When we actually figured out a monetary arrangement for this whole recording to take place, it's just all of a sudden like "Who do we wanna have playing drums? Who do we wanna get that does more programming, and synth-oriented keyboard stuff?" It's just like, all these different artists are available who have heard our stuff, and wanted to be a part of it, so we're really just blessed to be where we're at right now.
AWAY-TEAM: Says a lot about your music. Now, you mentioned that producer to producer it's kinda different, and you've previously worked with Grammy-nominee Michael Raphael, and now you've graduated to a Grammy Winner in Ben Grosse. How does the recording experience this time around, differ from the first?
ANDREW WEST: I think it's actually a "Wow", like an "Oh my God" moment, more than it is quite a realistic difference. There is a huge difference in the quality that Ben does, versus someone that hasn't been at his caliber of course, not knocking anybody, but um. Ya know, you step into the studio with Ben Grosse, and he's got all these great bands with great records, that you've been a fan of all these years, and still, presently putting out modern music that's huge. It's just an "Oh my gosh" moment, like "come back to reality" and everything, but no, we suspected and expected that it was gonna be a lot more difficult, like an uncomfortable situation stepping into it. Because we built up a great friendship, aside from the business part of it, with Michael Raphael, and we just knew what to expect from him, so it was like this is just gonna be totally different, ya know, we're getting ready to go run with the big dogs, so. It's turned out to be quite a bit the same actually, originally when we were sending in our ideas of new songs to him (Ben), they were just snippets of like, a verse and a chorus, a vocal melody and guitar melody as well, and that's it, there was no pre-chorus, there was no bridge, no finished product. That's how Chris and I had always been taught to write a new song, becuse it's like don't worry about the rest, when you get out to a place we'll all sit in a room together and finish the rest of the song. It's just that those are the two important parts, if those parts right there are a slam dunk, then the rest of the songs gonna be a no-brainer. So ya know, we started off by doing that, and we sent off the songs, and Ben's reply is like, we sent off like three or four different song ideas to him, and he's like "Ya know, these are a little bit too rough for me to pick two, I can't really tell which direction you wanna go with this." And we're just looking at each other like "Oh Shit!, what do we do now?" He was expecting entire songs, start to finish, and it was like at that moment we're behind the eight ball. Anyway, we just put more and more effort, and time into it, and in just a few days we were able to send finished versions, start to finish,with the bridge, and the pre-chorus that we hadn't even written until that time. And he fired back responses like "Yeah, I like this…or this not so much…keep working on this…" He definitely agreed that we had some really good ideas for this album, so much that we would be prepared at this point to come on out. A big help with that part of it, was Corey Lowery being a part of the pre-production, helping out with lyrics also, like getting the right, ya know, I write a lot of bizzare vocal stuff that makes sense to me, and means something to me, but they don't always make sense to the general public, or anyone that's listening. And just helping out with the little things that make the song just that much better, so he's been a big help.
AWAY-TEAM: There's a lot of buzz, currently surrounding you guys. Do you attribute that more to, the right people are now hearing you? Or the right people, i.e.-Ben and Corey, are now working with you?
ANDREW WEST: I think both. I think more people are caring now. The same people that have heard it, and passed on it just because, the general response we've gotten in the past was "It needs a little more bite." I don't think that's it at all, we have a style, it's finding the right people, and the right person to believe in your style. We started going down a pathway that wasn't us with that other producer, and I have all the respect in the world for him, but it's just not us. Now we've found somebody that has heard our ideas, and heard the way we are, and our sound, and believes in it….and sees that, yes there is a marketable product here, and yes I can help polish this out. Your ideas are there, your ideas are good, so I think it has everything to do with the right people being involved. Their names are also exciting other people in the industry to be like "Let's check this out. They're not gonna be in on it for no reason, and be a part of something that sucks." So, it's definitely been a big help that they've been a part of it, and luckily the songs that Chris and I write, are good enough to pique their interest.
AWAY-TEAM: You mention that in the past they were saying "Well this is good, but it needs more bite." I actually have your independent release, and I personally think it's great. What type of adjustments have you guys made for this recording?
ANDREW WEST: It's taking some of the other ideas, actually one of the ideas is on the previously released stuff, and then another song is like totally left field. It's kinda like taking something and revamping it, I mean I can't even tell you how many songs we've written over all these years, we've been writing music and playing for twelve years or so…it's just taking an idea that at one time was maybe a good idea, but then music constantly evolves, so therefore you have to make those changes with it and make something that's more modern sounding. So if there was potential in an older song, that never got put out, or never got any kind of recognition, or never made the cut onto an album that I'd been writing years ago, taking that idea and revamping it, making it more modern, maybe it was more appropriate for today's music than it was ten years ago. In a lot of cases, where we're at right now, it's totally a new song, there's hardly anything, I mean I think it's safe to say it's a brand new song, rather than something old. But it would always start with something that had previously been written. They're like "You know what, let's take this foundation, and let's build off of it.", and it turns into a whole different song, but at least the idea was already started by something that was previously there, that was a good idea to start with in the first place.
AWAY-TEAM: Now you've been compared before to bands like Breaking Benjamin and Crossfade. If you had to describe your sound to our readers, how would you describe it?
ANDREW WEST: Umm, just in conversation, when I'm talking with somebody and somebody asks me that question I respond with, a modern-rock, our manager would like us to be a part of active rock, but there's just so many different genres that I don't even keep up with what's what namewise. Ya know, it's modern, it's rock, but it's got synthesizers in it, it's got the heavy rock style. So I like stuff with like samples, and loops, and synth parts, but still have that heavy, fucking balls to the wall, makes you wanna start throwing things around in your room. It's a good time to play to, it's a good moment, it's a good vibe. Modern-rock with some synth oriented sounds in it, I would say.
AWAY-TEAM: I've heard rumblings that you guys are already being courted by a couple of different major labels. You and Chris were actually signed to Columbia Records with your former band Fear the Clown, is the excitement level still the same? Or is it now more "Okay, we've been this far before, but now we need to take it to the next level"?
ANDREW WEST: Is it the same now? It's very much more exciting now, with the predicament we're in. We've got great people involved in this, I'm not just talking about what's happening right this second, but our manager Craig, for one, is somebody that has his head screwed on straighter than anybody we've ever met in the music industry. There's a lot of crooked people in this business, and right now the Aurora Sky camp has the right people in it. Ya know, before, what we had going on was great, but there was a lot of people that were just really negative, and there was a lot of just bringing each other down. All the negativity this time around is gone, and it's totally looking on positive, and it's very much more exciting this time, because we're more mature, we've been down the road several times now, and I've had to learn a lot of things the hard way. We had a lot of growing up to do, from the Fear the Clown days. From a songwriter's standpoint it's very much more exciting, we're better, and we're just finally blossoming, I would say, to be able to be in the same category as some the bigger artists and bands. So this part of my life, is ultimately the most exciting thing I've ever been a part of.
AWAY-TEAM: Ya know, being down that road before, and kinda learning lessons the hard way, you've perservered through a lot. Yet, you continue to try to be a rock star. You gotta just chalk that up to desire, but what was that first album or song you heard that made you say "Come hell or high water, I'm gonna be a rock star"?
ANDREW WEST: Ya know, I can remember when I was like 16, coming up with that idea in my head, but at that point who doesn't wanna become one? Who doesn't wanna be in a band? And so, ya know, I thought I'd just grow out of such a thing. I was raised by, both my parents were musicians, and were highly successful in the 80′s, I mean very successful, my dad was in one of the top bands. So I just grew up, literally as a child going to rehearsals at these clubs and bars, and stuff, and having the free reign of running around these bars, and clubs, and nightclubs, instead of having a babysitter, because that's what they did. To this day they still perform and everything, so I guess it's just like I was almost predetermined to become a rock star. But I've had my choices that I've had to make, like after Fear the Clown broke up, each of us really had to ask ourselves "Where do I go from here? Do I continue down this road?". We just saw the ugliest side of it, we just really got screwed over in so many different ways, so bad that it made you ask yourself "Do we want to do this anymore? Is it worth it?" I mean is it worth that 45 minutes to an hour worth of fame on stage, to go through all the other B.S. that comes with it? And um, ya know, I had to get back to the real life, and get a real job. Clocking in and out, that was a hard thing for me to come back to after playing shows on the road non-stop, and not having a real job before that. After time and time and time, I couldn't take it anymore. Thank God, I found someone like Craig, because he saw my desperation, it was like at this point I should've moved on if I was gonna do something else with my life. But I can't, this is who I am, I have to do this, this is like my drug. I have to get up on stage, and I have to perform. I have to express myself through music, and there is nothing else out there for me. I can't work these business jobs, and get suited up in a tie. More power to the people that can, but I can't mentally do that! I'll fucking go crazy! It's not who I am. I have to be up there, and the lights come on, and it's not for the attention. It's something that's built in me, I have to do it. It's seriously like a personal therapy to me. So I don't know it's weird. I've tried other things, I've tried to get out of this life, and I can't do it. This is what I was meant to do.
AWAY-TEAM: Well to tell you the truth, that's extremely admirable. I mean, you follow your dreams no matter what. That's awesome.
ANDREW WEST: Yeah, I've been poor the whole time doing it. (laughs) I don't have a whole lot to show, as far as property and stuff.
AWAY-TEAM: (laughs) You can do one of two things, you can be poor chasing your dream, or you can be a poor working man like me, so. (laughs) Either way you don't have shit. (laughs)
ANDREW WEST: (laughs) Yeah, you're right.
AWAY-TEAM: Well Andrew, thanks for your time. I'm really looking forward to hearing the finished product. Good luck choosing between all those major labels, I'm sure you guys are gonna have your pick of the litter.
ANDREW WEST: I hope it's that big of a deal. I really do, it'd be nice for a change. Thank you for your time, for having any kind of interest in this. I do appreciate that.
AWAY-TEAM: Like I said man, I've heard your stuff and I absolutely love it. I think you guys are gonna go somewhere.
ANDREW WEST: Awesome, awesome. Well hopefully we'll get to talk again soon.
AWAY-TEAM: Yeah, I hear you like to do a little karaoke at Lani Kai, so maybe next time you make it down here…
ANDREW WEST: (laughs hysterically) Give me a couple of drinks and I'll be almost good to do anything at that point.
AWAY-TEAM: (laughs) I'm sure you're gonna out battle me, but I'll give it a try (laughs) I've been known to pick up the mic after a few drinks myself.
ANDREW WEST: Yeah, we'll do a duet, it'll be great. (laughs)
AWAY-TEAM: (laughs) Alright brother, well listen, give Chris my best wishes as well. Good luck with everything, and I'm sure, like I said when you come down here, we'll hang out.
ANDREW WEST: Awesome. Sounds good.
AWAY-TEAM: Take it easy. Good luck!
ANDREW WEST: Thank you. Bye.
AWAY-TEAM: Bye.

AWAY-TEAM touches base with AURORA SKY to get the scoop on new album
by admin on Jun.14, 2010, under news
Away-team.com just touched base with mega-producer Ben Grosse about the AURORA SKY recording sessions and it looks like everything is set! Corey Lowery (Dark New Day/Stereomud/Eye Empire) flies out to meet the guys in Burbank this Saturday, Will Hunt (Evanesence/Dark New Day/Static-X) arrives Sunday and this damn thing is ON, brothers & sisters!!!
AURORA SKY features former Columbia Recording artists CHRIS SHY and Andrew "Gambit" West of FEAR THE CLOWN. In late 2009, the band digitally released a 5-track E.P. that included the radio single "Slowing Me Down" . The song shot into many stations' Top 20 rotation alongside power-hitters like THREE DAYS GRACE, BREAKING BENJAMIN, DISTURBED and others. Shy recently commented, "the new material is a lot heavier, but with Ben and Corey at the helm, it's still going to have a commercial aspect about it that will allow it to get Active and Modern Rock airplay. These guys know how to bring the heat".

In response to your statement, "What right do they have to tell us or our insurance whether they should cover pills -condoms or IUD's.", we gave the federal government that right when we allowed them to pass the PPACA last year. When we allowed them to say pre-existing conditions couldn't be denied by insurance providers, and to mandate everyone has insurance or pay a penalty, we gave them the right to say what can and can't be covered by that insurance. Not to mention the state-run exchanges.
This bill doesn't stop you from getting an abortion, and let's face it, the government wouldn't pay for you to fly or drive to a different country, so if you can afford a $300+ plane ticket, can't you also afford an abortion during the first trimester from your own pocket for $300?
All of you imbeciles who think this is a "woman's" issue need to Google some abortion pictures. SERIOUSLY!! If you saw the gruesome reality of abortion as MURDER, I would hope that you people would have some more sense about this very immoral and dare I say illegal practice.
Here, I'll even help you out a bit: http://www.google.com/images?q=abortion
You are ignorant. Most of those pictures online are from psychotic anti-choice sites who use pictures of older fetuses to stir up emotions, when around 90% of abortions take place in the first trimester. About 1% of abortions occur after 24 weeks (viability) and these are wanted pregnancies that are terminated due to a risk to the mother's life or a severe birth defect in which the fetus would not survive long after birth anyway. Regardless, abortions are a personal matter, a private decision, and it is not taken lightly. No woman activately wishes for an unplanned pregnancy just so she can take a fun trip to the abortion clinic and pay $500 out of her own pocket. It's a really tough decision to make for the majority of women and to think that YOU should have an opinion about it is revolting.
To believe or even imply that it is not a woman's issues is absolutely ridiculous! Who carries the child in the uterus? The woman. Who gives birth? The woman does. Whose, life can be at risk if they carry the child to term? The woman's life. Some women have to endure high-risk pregnancies. Pay attention to the word WOMAN. Women go through these scenarios NOT, MEN IN SUITS WHO THINK THEY CAN DECIDE WHAT WOMEN SHOULD AND SHOULD NOT DO.It has everything to do with a woman.Until,the day comes when a man can carry a child to term and give birth then this will continue to be a woman's matter.
Now from a religious stand. God is the only judge and we shall answer to him for our sins right? Thus, if a woman decides to terminate her pregnancy for whatever, reason then She will answer to God if she believes in God. She should not answer to you, to me or to congress. This is one of the most private matters that a woman encounters in HER LIFE.
Also, Wyoming just revolted against an absurd social agenda and I'm glad to see that some Republicans understand that, the government has no business meddling in private issues between a woman and her physician.
Too made none of those abortion pictures depict common abortions – otherwise you would find a lot more than the same 10 that float around. Those all depict late trimester, probably back-alley style abortions, if they're real at all (a lot of them are 100% fake). They're fabricated by pro-life nutjobs to try and scare you into thinking it's this horrible thing because they know they have no LOGIC to back themselves up.
CURRENT FEDERAL FUNDING THAT GOES TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD DOES NOT CURRENTLY INCLUDE ABORTION COVERAGE! They are prohibited by Title X to use federal funding for abortions. They have a separate fund with private donations that cover abortions for women whose insurance will not cover and/or who cannot afford the procedure. Being personally opposed to abortion is fine, not wanting your tax dollars to pay for abortions is fine (even though I would rather them go toward abortion coverage than expanded welfare/WIC programs) but taxpayer money doesn't fund PP abortions now. Federal funding goes toward preventative screening like PAP smears, HIV testing, birth control for low-income women who can't afford it. PP PREVENTS more abortions than any anti-choice man or organization ever will.This bill only intends to strip women of basic health care and if passed it will cause more illegal, botched abortions, more children born into poverty and crime, more death and disease. It is purely anti-woman.
Forgive my ignorance but I just started reading up on this bill myself a little bit ago so I am not intimately familiar with all the details. Do you mean to say from your comment above that PP would not receive any government funding for abortions even if they are due to rape/incest or could cause medical complications for the mother?
Thankfully this bill is just political garbage to gain points with the religious right because it will certainly be vetoed by Obama if it even passes the Senate. But it's a good reminder that the Republicans' only agenda is faking moral superiority whilst making sure the poor get poorer and the rich get their tax cuts – while claiming to be about job creation.
First off, I am a woman, I am not Christian and I am not a Republican. I am actually a Satanist and somewhat of a Libertarian. I am a teenager, so have no 'old-time' values. So you can take your preconceived notions about anti-abortionists and throw them out. But I am very against abortion because life begins at conception…a human life, not a fetus life. There's no such thing as a seperate species of humans called fetuses! They are people who are not finished growing, babies with souls! If a woman gets pregnant, that's her problem. Not the babies problem, and she should pay for it herself if she really wants to be so murderous as to get an abortion. No thing as evil as abortion should be funded. I don't see how in the world a woman 'suffers' being pregnant. I think the baby is the one suffering, having to live inside someone so stupid as to get pregnant if she doesn't want to raise a child.
Are you pro-death penalty? Are you okay with turning off breathing machines for people who are medically "brain dead"?
therebeunicorns, in referencing the idealized 1950's, I was referring to the old, white, rich men who benefited the most from the time period – the same ones who are pushing for legislation that restricts womens' family planning.
Also, as I've previously stated, most women do have to pay for their own abortions and the ones that can't come up with the money are supplemented through private donations, not taxpayer money. It's shameful to hear you talk about women who get abortions as being stupid and slutty when the majority of women who have abortions are already mothers. Many are married and monogamous, many are results of those birth control failure statistics. Regardless, it's not a decision that any woman goes into with joy and it's also none of your business. Women who get abortions would rather the pregnancy not have occurred in the first place, but there are so many circumstances and gray areas. You just choose to ignore them and unfairly tag all women who have abortions as murderous monsters. It's not that simple and please realize you probably know someone who has had one and you don't think any less of them because you have no idea.
You said "If a woman gets pregnant, that's her problem." and "I don't see how in the world a woman 'suffers' being pregnant."
I was raped and conceived as a result. How exactly was this my problem? Andd how is forcing me to carry the child not suffering? -
You said "If a woman gets pregnant, that's her problem." and "I don't see how in the world a woman 'suffers' being pregnant."
I was raped and conceived as a result. How exactly was this my problem? Andd how is forcing me to carry the child not suffering? Also, it is not the babies fault if a woman gets raped! It's the rapists fault. The woman should take revenge against the rapist and kill or jail HIM, not kill the child inisde of her who didn't do anything but get concieved.
I would never in a million years carry a rapist's baby to term. It would be difficult to get through the 24-hour waiting period before termination. That's my choice, and you have yours.
Hi! I agree with you on just about everything.
I was raped. I conceived a child as a result. The law allowed me to choose how I wanted to handle one of the worst moments in my life. I was not forced to abort. I was not forced to carry the child and give birth. I was not forced to raise the child. I was not forced to give it up for adoption.
I got to make the best choice for me.
AND THAT IS WHAT I FIGHT FOR!I have no problem with the Hyde. But the macho, male, right wing, religious, republican control freaks want to take that choice away from us. That is what all these pro-life/anti abortion bills are about. Chipping away at abortion until they erradicate it.
So you're pro-life for fetuses but you don't believe in due process for sentient humant beings.
Typical sentiments from a "pro-lifer".
navigation74- Who are you speaking to?
I apologize for posting so much, last post, but issues on abortion get me worked up. I know what it feels like to suffer after being sexually abused. My uncle abused me when I was eleven for awhile, and even talked about raping me! I suffered, and I didn't tell anyone, blah blah blah…but you know what? I would still NEVER have gotten an abortion even if he did get me pregnant (not that it was possible at that age)…because I would have been proud to bring a child into this world, his child or not. And I would have loved my child from conception. Don't get me wrong, I despise my uncle. If he wasn't in jail right now for doing the same thing to another child, I would gladly have hunted him down and killed him by now. But my child, his DNA or not, would have nothing to do with him. My child would be his or her own soul.
YOU would never have gotten an abortion if raped. If I were raped, I couldn't get to the abortion clinic fast enough. The problem isn't with you being personally opposed to abortion, the problem is you think YOUR opinion about the embryo or fetus in question trumps the rights of the legally recognized person carrying it (the woman) by saying she should be forced to gestate and give birth to a child she does not want. It's wrong to make decisions for everyone based on YOUR morality. Plus I don't see how you cannot see the hypocrisy of saying you would kill your uncle and then say it's so wrong to kill.
I believe life begins at conception, I am a Christian, I am a mom and yes I am Pro-Choice! The woman's life and the life of the fetus are combined and this type of legislation opens a bad can of worms. Why do Republicans and Tea Party Members think they can control a woman's body and yet make the claim against the Health Care bill saying governement is too intrusive? You can't have it both ways. Republicans want to eliminate almost all education, nutritional and health care programs to women and children and then want to force women to carry out pregnancies even if it is detrimental to the women's health or the woman is unable to care for the child. They don't offer any solutions to ensure a quality life for these children they are forcing into the world. Absolutely no forethought here. Woman will be forced back into the dark ages. Shoot this bill down!
You misrepresent what the republicans want. What we wish to do is to define that abortion is the same as murder, and protect the civil rights to children yet to be born.
You do not have the right to health care, because otherwise someone would have to provide to you regardless of whether or not they want to. Government should not control that sector of the economy.
Also, no, they want to replace the education that is basically anti-abstincance, and more about how to do it and how to protect themselves, and replace it with a pro-abstinence message and what negative consequences can occur with sex.
Also, no, most republicans are okay with abortion to save the mother's life.
Define abortion as murder? Then what are the republicans going to do to the women that are so grossly negligent when they are pregnent and it results in the death of their unborn fetus or a misscarriage. Are the republicans going to start prosicuting them as murderers?
And "you do not have the right to health care"?! The cost of health care is so high because there is not national healthcare. The people who dont have health care still need to be treated and our government made it illegal for hospitals to turn sick and injured people away when they dont have health insurance so the hospitals pass on the bill to those who can pay for it. Give me a break even Cuba has a national health system!
Abortion to save a womans life- acceptable.
I'm not sure how many ways there are to spell moron.

More ice-skates for us renters!
January 13, 2012

George Shirk - Times News Editor
Mammoth Mountain Ski Area and the Sierra Nevada Lodge have begun renting ice skates, alleviating an unexpected—and slippery—situation.
With snow levels at record or near-record lows in the backcountry, ice-skating has become the hot new sport this winter.
The problem is that the sports shops do not rent skates, and the Mammoth Ice Rink is selling out of rental skates almost daily.
"We have consistently been running out of skates at the rink during peak operations," said the Recreation Department's John Connolly.
The Recreation Department was ready to supply rental skates for off-site rentals, he said, but ran into a couple of problems.
"Folks will be abusing skates off site, walking through sand, rocks, and maybe even pavement (we see that often)," he wrote in an email.
Then there's the possibility of even worse things, he said.
"There are liability what-if's, like if someone falls through or gets seriously hurt."
In response, the ski area and the Sierra Nevada Lodge on Old Mammoth Road have put a full hockey-stop on the problem by offering rentals.
"The mountain stepped up and decided to do their own skate rental which gets us off the hook," Connolly said.
The Mountain Center, Quiksilver (both at the Village) and Sierra Nevada Lodge Rental Shop will rent ice skates on a daily basis, he said.
Sizes range from toddler to 11, children's, and women's though men's 12.
The cost is $20 a day for adults and $12 for children (deposit required).
Connolly asked that skaters contact the Mountain Center in The Village at (760) 924-7057, Quiksilver in The Village at (760) 934-0720 or the Sierra Nevada Lodge Rental Shop at (760) 934-2515 for additional information.
Also, for a more informational approach to the backcountry and ice, Eastern Sierra Backcountry Ice Skating has a rockin' Facebook page.

There are lots of great museums throughout Paris. You will receive a student of art/art history student card that will allow you to get into all the national museums for free, and into other museums at a reduced price. In addition, these national museums are free all day the first Sunday of every month, but be warned, they tend to be very crowded on those days, so get there early!
Student recommendations from Fall 2009. Let us know if this list should change!
There are theaters everywhere in Paris and films are at a good price. In March, for about 3 weeks, movie tickets are about 3 euros. Make sure to see a movie in French while you are there, you will understand more than you think and they have a very interesting cinematic style. In order to find out about the location of theaters and times of screenings, it is a good idea to pick up a copy of Paris' weekly magazine about theater, music and film, called Pariscope.
La Cinematheque Francise
Address: 51 rue de Bercy, 12e,
Metro: Bercy
It is a must see spot especially for film buffs and film and cinema studies students. This building contains film archives, libraries, collections of film objects and documents, theaters, exhibitions and holds screenings of international films every day.
Go to a soccer game, it is like nothing you have ever seen in the US, especially matches between Marseille and Paris.Street performances - There is a large break-dancing competition in Paris which is really worth checking out. You can also see fire shows and tricks at night in front of the Notre Dame. There are good performers on the steps of Sacre-Coeur with a great view of the city.
The ballet and opera at Opéra Garnier are not to be missed. Sometimes NYU arranges for tickets and student discounts are also available. Opéra Bastille is another architectural landmark that holds international operas. There are also rush tickets for theatre and opera. At the Comedie Francaise, rush tickets (1-2 hours before show) are approximately €8.

Roundup: Mountaineers stun No. 11 CowboysTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | September 29,2013MORGANTOWN, W.Va. Clint Trickett threw a touchdown pass in his first start at West Virginia, Ishmael Banks returned an interception for a touchdown and the Mountaineers shocked No. 11 Oklahoma State 30-21 on Saturday.
Josh Lambert kicked three field goals for West Virginia (3-2, 1-1 Big 12), which rebounded from its first shutout loss in 11 years to outlast the mistake-prone Cowboys.
Trickett became West Virginias third starting quarterback this season after Ford Childress was injured last week. Trickett finished 24 of 50 for 309 yards.
But after taking a 24-14 halftime lead, West Virginia was held out of the end zone in the second half and relied on its defense to slow down J.W. Walsh.
Walsh threw three touchdown passes but was intercepted twice.
The Cowboys (3-1, 0-1) were penalized 10 times for 96 yards and had four turnovers more than their first three games combined.
Trickett, a transfer from Florida State, became West Virginias third starting quarterback after Ford Childress was injured last week. Trickett finished 24 of 50 for 309 yards in his first start since subbing for EJ Manuel for the Seminoles in October 2011.
But after taking a 24-14 halftime lead, West Virginia was held out of the end zone in the second half and relied on its defense to slow down J.W. Walsh, who couldnt bring the Cowboys back from their first halftime deficit of the season.
Walsh threw three touchdown passes but was intercepted twice.
Banks 58-yard interception return in the first quarter was part of 13 points the Mountaineers scored off four Oklahoma State turnovers. That was more turnovers than the Cowboys (3-1, 0-1) had in their first three games combined.
They also were plagued by errant and dropped passes, poor punting and were penalized 10 times for 96 yards.
Oklahoma State, making the 1,000-mile trip to Morgantown for the first time since 1928, got the only touchdown of the second half on Walshs 30-yard scoring pass to fullback Jeremy Seaton in blown coverage early in the third quarter.
The Cowboys had the chance to tie it midway through the fourth, but Ben Grogans 23-yard field goal try hit the right upright.
It marked the first time in 16 tries this season that Oklahoma State didnt score a touchdown when it advanced inside the opponents 20.
The pace was furious the teams combined for 177 plays.
Oklahoma 35, Notre Dame 21
SOUTH BEND, Ind. Blake Bell threw a 54-yard touchdown pass to Sterling Shepard in the fourth quarter and No. 14 Oklahoma beat No. 22 Notre Dame 35-21 on Saturday.
It was the Sooners second win over the Fighting Irish in 11 tries.
The Sooners had three interceptions that led to TDs, including a 24-yard score by linebacker Corey Nelson.
Damien Williams added an 11-yard TD run after an interception by linebacker Frank Shannon and Bell threw a 26-yard TD pass to Lacoltan Bester to cap an 88-yard drive after an interception by cornerback Julian Wilson.
The Irish cut the lead to 27-21 in the fourth quarter, but the Sooners answered with Shepards TD.
The only other victory for Oklahoma (4-0) in the series was a 40-0 win in 1956 that remains the worst home loss for the Irish (3-2).
Clemson 56,
Wake Forest 7
CLEMSON, S.C. Tajh Boyd became the second Atlantic Coast Conference quarterback to account for 100 career touchdowns and got No. 3 Clemsons offense back on track in a 56-7 victory over Wake Forest on Saturday.
Boyd threw for three touchdowns and rushed for another score. He stands at 102 TDs in college, joining former North Carolina State star Phillip Rivers in the ACCs century club. Boyd passed for 311 yards and ran for 69 to surpass Charlie Whitehurst as Clemsons total offense leader.
The Tigers (4-0, 2-0) have won their first four games for the second time in Boyds three seasons as starter. He had been out of sync the past two games, but found his rhythm quickly against Wake Forest (2-3, 0-2).
Florida State 48,
Boston College 34
BOSTON Jameis Winston threw for four touchdowns, including a 55-yard Hail Mary as time expired in the first half to help No. 8 Florida State rally from a slow start and beat Boston College 48-34 on Saturday.
Winston had first-half touchdown passes of 56 and 10 yards to tie the game after BC, coming off a 28-point loss to Southern California, opened a 17-3 lead. The desperation heave to Kenny Shaw made it 24-17, then Winston added a fourth TD pass in the second half as the Seminoles (4-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) pulled away.
In all, the Florida State freshman completed 17 of 28 passes for 330 yards and ran 14 times for 67 more.
Chase Rettig completed 19 of 29 passes for 197 yards and a career-high four touchdowns for BC (2-2, 1-1), including a 52-yard score to Myles Willis that cut a three-score lead to 38-27. But the Eagles quarterback also threw an interception early in the fourth quarter that T.J. Williams returned 20 yards for a touchdown to make it 48-27.
Miami 49, South Florida 21
TAMPA, Fla. Stephen Morris threw for two touchdowns before limping off with an ankle injury and Duke Johnson scored a TD in his eighth consecutive game, helping No. 15 Miami roll past winless South Florida 49-21 on Saturday.
Miami (4-0) is off to its best start in nine years heading into next weekends Atlantic Coast Conference opener at home against Georgia Tech. At 0-4 under first-year coach Willie Taggart, USF is off to the worst start in school history and has dropped 13 of 14 dating to last season.
Morris threw for 222 yards, moving ahead of Steve Walsh and into ninth place on Miamis career passing list. He tossed TD passes of 19 yards to Herb Waters and 34 yards to Stacy Coley as the Hurricanes scored on their first three possessions.
South Carolina 28, UCF 25
ORLANDO, Fla. Mike Davis rushed 26 times for 167 yards and three touchdowns, as No. 12 South Carolina overcame an injury to its starting quarterback, four turnovers and a 10-0 halftime deficit to beat UCF 28-25 on Saturday.
Davis picked up the slack for a Gamecocks offense that played the final three quarters without starting QB Connor Shaw. He left the game with a sprained right shoulder following a hard tackle during South Carolinas first offensive series of the contest.
The Knights were sharp early, but failed to convert all but one of the Gamecocks miscues into points.
UCF rallied late, but had four turnovers of its own, two of which set up South Carolina scores.
Knights quarterback Blake Bortles threw for 358 yards and two touchdown passes, but had two interceptions and a fumble.
Tennessee 31, South Alabama 24
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Brian Randolph made a game-clinching, fourth-and-goal interception in the end zone with 1:51 remaining as Tennessee squandered most of a 24-point lead before hanging on for a 31-24 victory over South Alabama.
South Alabama (2-2) had first-and-goal at the 7 in the closing minutes but was unable to get the tying touchdown. Facing fourth-and-goal from the 8, South Alabama quarterback Ross Metheny was hit by Corey Vereen while releasing the pass that Randolph intercepted.
Tennessees Rajion Neal rushed for a career-high 169 yards on 25 carries. Neals 11-yard touchdown run gave Tennessee (3-2) a 31-7 lead early in the third quarter.
Metheny was 21 of 42 for 234 yards with two interceptions. He also rushed for 67 yards and two touchdowns.
Tennessee overcame a three-interception performance from Justin Worley, who was 20 of 36 for 234 yards. Worley threw touchdown passes to freshmen A.J. Branisel and Josh Smith.
FORT WORTH, Texas Trevone Boykin completed 15 of 26 passes for 228 yards and two touchdowns and TCUs defense forced five turnovers to lead the Horned Frogs to a 48-17 victory Saturday against rival SMU.
Boykin overcame a 7 of 16 first-half performance by completing seven of his first nine passes in the second half, tossing touchdown passes of 20 and 56 yards to help the Horned Frogs (2-2, 0-1 in Big 12) overcome a 10-7 halftime deficit.
The Horned Frogs retain the Iron Skillet trophy for the second straight year, and they are 11-2 under coach Gary Patterson in the annual rivalry game.
SMU (1-3), which entered the game 10th in the nation in passing, amassed 292 yards of total offense, and quarterback Garrett Gilbert finished 23 of 44 for 276 yards and four interceptions. TCU also had six sacks, its most since 2009 at Virginia.
TCU played without star defensive lineman Devonte Fields, who was out with an unspecified injury.
Pitt 14, Virginia 3
PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh turned a pair of early Virginia turnovers into touchdowns and the Panther defense did the rest in a 14-3 victory on Saturday.
Tom Savage completed 13 of 30 passes for 190 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions before leaving late in the fourth quarter. Tyler Boyd caught seven passes for 111 yards for Pitt. The Panthers (3-1, 2-1 ACC) have won three straight for the first time since 2010.
A week after giving up 55 points to Duke, Pitts defense shut down the Cavaliers (2-2, 0-1). Virginia managed just 188 total yards. Quarterback David Watford completed 15 of 36 passes for 122 yards and Virginia never threatened to make it interesting after spotting the Panthers two first-quarter scores.
Lehigh 34, New Hampshire 27
BETHLEHEM, Pa. Brandon Bialkowski threw two touchdowns and Sean Farrell ran for two more to lead Lehigh to a 34-27 come-from-behind win over New Hampshire on Saturday.
Lehigh was trailing 27-20 in the third quarter when Farrell scored his second consecutive rushing TD to tie the game. The Lehigh defense held and Bialkowski capped the next Mountain Hawks drive with a 15-yard scoring pass to Derek Knott. Bialkowski was 31 of 52 for 359 yards passing.
New Hampshire had a chance for a comeback, but Andy Vailas overthrew his receiver in the end zone as time ran out. Vailas ran for one TD and connected with Chris Setian for another one for the Wildcats. Setian also had two 5-yard scoring runs.
The win boosts Lehighs record to 4-0 and is only the third time in nine contests that the Mountain Hawks have beaten New Hampshire (1-2).MORE IN Wire SportsPONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.

I ordered this immersion blender after much research of many brands. It had the wattage, design and attachments I was looking for. I used it the entire week of Thanksgiving preparing everything from pumpkin puree to fresh whipped cream for the pumpkin pie dessert. Having this blender sped up my prep time on all of my holiday dishes and now is out on my counter because I use it practically every day! I love it!
I bought this after reading the good reviews on overstock. (search the net, not all reviews are that great.) I love this thing. All I needed was a hand blender, and I was not too excited about the wisk and chopper attachments. Well, the attachments are fantastic. I can see me using that chopper for just about everything: 5 second minced onions, black beans for soup, salsa, it is really handy and waaaaay easier to clean than a blender. The wisk I initially scoffed at (how hard is it to wisk?) but then my carpel tunnel flaired up - auto-wisk to the rescue! Have only had it for a couple months but so far, so great - highly recommended.
I'm not an every day cook, but when I cook the meal tends to be complex and time consuming. I had been looking for a good quality wand with whisk attachment for a new home I was moving in to, and this unit appealed to me more than any I had seen first hand. The price was such that it was worth the gamble of buying without handling. I used this last week while making a buffalo chicken mac 'n cheese, wherein the cheese sauce takes a good 20 minutes of whisking by hand. This wand made making the cheese sauce a piece of cake! No tired hands, no sore wrists when finished. It was a pleasure using this tool. My pan, however, was a bit shallow. Even at its lowest speed the wand whisk tended to splash sauce all about the stove. Next time I will use a deeper pot. That was my fault - not the wand's. I would certainly buy a replacement if I ever need to, and I absolutely recommend it.
I have used and purchased hand blenders before. This one is the "Cats Meow". Love it. And the blender and the whip are detachable and can be put into dishwasher. It has several interchangeable blades. Whips through onions and peppers and potatoes. My how it works on mashed potatoes. I don't use my food processor any more, it is to noisy. Very convenient mounted on the wall by where I do most of my cooking.
I have blenders but rarely haul them out to use. Cleaning is a hassle. And I hate cooking someting, pouring part into the blender, processing, pouring out into another container, repeating until the job is done. Plus the cleanup! With this, I use the immersion blender in the pot I cooked in. It takes half the time (or less) with far less mess and cleanup. This has a far more powerful motor than the "C brand" and the chopping bowl makes fast work of peppers, onions, bread for crumbs. Glad I bought it!
I read other reviews of injuries and was almost turned off from product. With care and respect for the sharpness of the blades, I see no problems. Just follow directions. The motor is heavy duty. Might not be as speedy setting up but the results are worth the effort.
very poor plastic. breaks easily. Horrible support. Never call back and no live person on duty ever. Rolls to a full voice-mail box or when empty , you get no return call. Went with the *** which has work out very well for the last 3 weeks.
Bought one for myself and each of my kids for Christmas. I have used it a few times this first week and love it. We made smoothies for breakfast one day, I had been concerned the container might be too small but it was perfect. Have used the chopper a couple times, very fast and made small pieces that I wanted. Also whipped cream with the whisk. All in all I am very satisfied, this seems very powerful for such a small appliance, I like it so much better than the blender.
It is a powerful and versatile tool with adjustable speeds. All the additional gadgets work excellent. I also like the wall rack. However, the gadgets get attached to the motor with flimsy "twist a little and snap on" plastic parts that got broken after 5 uses. I put them back with epoxy glue, but decided not to use the gadgets anymore. Also the blue rubber that covers the on/pulse controls easily breaks. Too bad, because it size, powerful motor and gadgets work great, is handy, lightweight and attaches to the wall which is convenient when you have limited kitchen & storage space. Still, it need improvement.
What a powerful little tool. I love it and highly recommend this immersion blender to everyone who loves to cook. It does just about everything. No kitchen should be without one of this hand-held blender. The price wasn't too bad for two gadget in one.

Since 2005 I have been producing a calendar for the Down's Syndrome Association. I am also the curator of an ever expanding exhibition and group of photographers called 'Shifting Perspectives'.
Thanks to GlaxoSmithKline we have been able tour the exhibition nationally and from 2010 will be showing worldwide.
For 'Culture & Religion' I took the question 'Does Down's syndrome happen in every race?' and answered it by photographing families from a wide range of backgrounds, cultures and religions.

The egg hatched revealing the Pokémon to be a Happiny, at one of the Pokémon Centers. As a Happiny, it possessed enormous strength, using that strength to throw Brock into the air when it hatched. Later in the series, Happiny lifted an enormous boulder with one hand and also lifted Ash's Grotle and carried it around Canalave City when it got tired.
While on the boat to Twinleaf Town, Brock's Happiny evolved into Chansey while trying help a Pichu. It is currently unknown if Chansey has kept the strength it had as a Happiny but it knows the move Softboiled which it used to heal the Pokémon on the boat.

how'd you end up a broncs fan?
i lived in colorado springs during the elway era as a kid, so i kind of picked up on the broncos by default, and then lived north of denver for a couple years. broncos are my AFC team so my ribbing of the team is all in good fun.

Therapy Groups in South Deerfield
Reconnecting with Joy
Host: Jackie Humphreys, MSW, LICSW
Not finding the right group for you? Try contacting one of our Therapists in South Deerfield for guidance.
Therapy Group: 1 to 1
South Deerfield Support Groups and Group Therapy Group therapy takes many forms. The groups are variously referred to (often interchangeably) as South Deerfield counseling groups, South Deerfield support groups, South Deerfield mutual support groups or peer support groups, self help groups, stress coping groups, workshops and mental health groups. They are moderated by a professional group counselor, group therapist or group psychologist and generally focus on a specific issue or client profile (e.g. men or women etc). Before joining a South Deerfield support group, first see if the issue focus is consistent with your needs. If there are no groups offering support around your issue, feel free to contact these professionals in South Deerfield to ask for a referral to alternative groups nearby.
What to expect in a South Deerfield group? In a professionally operated support group in South Deerfield, members provide each other with various types of help for a particular shared issue. The help takes the form of relating personal experiences and listening to and accepting others' experiences. South Deerfield group members may also provide a sympathetic understanding and a social network. Group Therapists or group counselors lead or facilitate the group and provide group counseling in South Deerfield. They are sometimes specifically trained in group dynamics and the understanding of small group processes. So 'interpersonal learning', which can involve unfiltered feedback and confrontation between group members (and can be threatening) is safely moderated by the group therapist or group counselor in South Deerfield. What's the difference between individual and group therapy? |

Adj/Noun: Feckle- When someone has a blemish, mole or freckle on their penis.
Oh, hey look at that John has a feckle!

Feckle is the flakes of anal crustation that occur from lack of propper wiping. If you do not wipe thuroughly after dropping the Cosby kids off at the pool, you are sure to have large amounts of feckle (a.k.a. - butt cheese) forming around your anus.
The other day I took a McShit in the woods and did not wipe. When I had gotten home the leftover poop had crusted over and began to flake off creating these delicate little feck flakes.

Past the Point of No Return
Past the Point of No Return
Brace yourself and check out our colleague Ross Gelbspan's blog today, where he has picked up a U.K. story about James Lovelock, the scientist and green guru who conceived the notion of Gaia. In it, Lovelock says that we have already done too much damage to the climate system to correct in time.
It's a bleak, demotivating view, but absent the option to abandon ship, I think it points to a need for us all to redouble our efforts at bailing.
Previous Comments
I am an attorney in Mass. and a substitute teacher here in San Francisco. I am a member of many environmental groups, and have been reading, tracking, and printing out all the news and studies on global warming for many years.This is my first comment on any blog, and my first real experience at reading any blog.I went to Harvard College and Boston College Law School.For some time now I have wanted to do a global warming news hour, so I'm glad I found this website DSB. My research of all the stories to hit the news in the past 15 years agrees exactly with LoveLock's hypothesis. I kept describing it to my friends as a logarithmic upward curve, or an uncontrollable feedback chain reaction. Now I see LoveLock sees it the same way.Our only chance is to severely reduce greenhouse gas emmisions, but the political will is not there. Certain studies have pointed to the start of a new geologic era induced by human caused global warming.I want to take the three volumes of stories and studies I've printed from the internet to the politicians who ignore global warming or dismiss it as a nonissue.In other words I'm a news junkie that self educated on the subject and wants to help stop global warming. LoveLock's hypothesis rings chillingly clear to me. Best wishes to the planet, but I'm not too hopeful. Mark J. Fiore
many efforts at mitigation and disaster preparation are complementary. for instance, advances in solar and wind power technology serve us in either the thumbs-up or thumbs-down decision by the rest of the biosphere, as do zero-emissions HVAC, high-yield local agriculture, better battery tech, improved recycling, low-power computing, low-power refrigeration. water reclamation.
it is morally repulsive to me to hear wealthy, educated people talking about giving up, building arks. it is exactly the same casual betrayal of the majority for rich northerners to do this as it was to justify the enslavement of the global south in the colonial era, exactly the same division of life between chosen and garbage.
it wasn't people who made industrial society possible. it's been a long time coming. and the schooling, experience, wealth, the benefits of power, all of it is derived and financed by the hopes of people who are about to be thrown away again to ease the imaginative consciences of the ones among us who would rather be petrified than roll up our sleeves and work outside our preferred company.
I have been thinking of you -Do you remember me ??? I was a student of the boston college MSW . so my son is going to Boston College in the fall and I thought about you. and now I see that you are in California-well I am in Southern California- Elizabeth
If Lovelock is right, we may as well buy 10 SUVs each and keep them running on coal
I cannot see how his bleak stories can help the environmental movement
Bleak or not bleak… let's not close our eyes to any potential truths.
This is actually a philosophical question… should you continue to fight even though you may know that you can't win? The answer is not as obvious as one might think…

Poems deal with writing, death and immortality, literature, city life, illness, war, and the past.
About the Author
Charles Bukowsk is one of America's best-known contemporary writers of poetry and prose, and, many would claim, its most influential and imitated poet. He was born in 1920 in Andernach, Germany, to an American soldier father and a German mother, and brought to the United States at the age of three. He was raised in Los Angeles and lived there for fifty years. He published his first story in 1944 when he was twenty-four and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.

An iPad Mini please (bow does not need to be included) and it would be an awesome Caribbean Christmas

Being 6'9" and a lover of iPhones leaves me with cramped hands/fingers so a new iPhone 5 would be great for a giant like me.

I would so love an iPad mini! I read all the time on my iPhone, and the iPad mini would be so much easier on my eyes! I prefer white, but I would also love a black if that's what's available!
Ooh! Yes, I turned 21 on Sunday, so it would be an amazing belated birthday gift! ;)

I would like an iPhone 5 or iPad mini. Right now probably iPad mini because my contract doesn't end until April. I would like the iPad, but the gift card doesn't cover it which is fine. I really need my first iPad mini since it would be my first iPad. I never had a tablet before. Also it is Hanukkah next week and this will make a great present! :)
I really really want the iPad Mini because I love Apple products! and I never had an iPad to experience the joy it brings! Thank you!
I signed in with my girlfriend's Facebook account because I know she wants an iPad mini for Christmas...
I'd like the iphone 5. I've been wanting to move to a smartphone for a while now, this would make me finally do it.
