White Zombie was an American heavy metal band that formed in 1985. Based in New York City, White Zombie was originally a noise rock band. White Zombie is better-known for its later heavy metal-oriented sound. The group officially disbanded in 1998. In 2000, White Zombie was included on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock, ranking at No. 56.[1]
Early years[edit]
White Zombie was co-founded by writer, vocalist and graphic artist Rob Zombie, after coming up with the band idea in 1985 while attending Parsons School of Design in his junior year. Zombie's girlfriend at the time, Sean Yseult, was the other co-founder. She had been playing the Farfisa keyboard in the band LIFE with Ivan de Prume, but the band soon broke up. Ena Kostabi owned a recording studio, which he would rent out to different bands. When he met Yseult, she asked if he could teach her to play bass. They then recruited Peter Landau to play drums and began to write and record songs. White Zombie's first release, Gods on Voodoo Moon, was an EP and was recorded on October 18, 1985. It was released under the band's own label Silent Explosion, under which they would release most of their early work. Only 300 copies were pressed, of which only 100 were sold; the band members still retain possession of the remaining 200.[citation needed]
In 1986, Zombie hired Tim Jeffs, his Parsons School of Design roommate, to play guitar to replace Ena Kostabi, and Yseult brought in De Prume from their days in the band LIFE as the replacement for Landau. It was at this time the band started touring, making their live performance debut at CBGB on April 28, 1986.[2][3] White Zombie released their second EP, Pig Heaven, that year. The release contained two songs, "Pig Heaven" and "Slaughter the Grey". The EP was recorded at 6/8 Studios on Houston St and Bleecker St in NoHo in New York City. Other songs that were recorded during the session but never released were titled "Follow Wild", "Rain Insane", "Paradise Fireball" and "Red River Flow". After touring for a year in the band, Tim Jeffs left and was replaced by Tom Guay, often known as Tom Five. The band released a second pressing of Pig Heaven with different cover art, but retained the same recording with Jeffs on guitar. Only 500 copies of each pressing were released on vinyl.
In 1987, the band released their third EP, Psycho-Head Blowout. Later that year, the band released their first full-length album, Soul-Crusher, which was their first release to feature sound clips from movies in the songs, a trademark that would continue for the remainder of the band's lifespan. John Ricci replaced Tom Guay shortly after the release of Soul-Crusher.[4]
In 1988, the band signed to Caroline Records, permanently discontinuing their old indie label. Their second album, Make Them Die Slowly, was released in February 1989.[4] The album was a musical shift for White Zombie. While their previous releases had been strictly punk-influenced noise rock, Make Them Die Slowly had more of a heavy metal sound.[citation needed] This is also the first album crediting "Rob Zombie" instead of his previous stage name, "Rob 'Dirt' Straker".
Ricci's carpal tunnel syndrome severely affected his ability to play guitar, forcing him to leave the band when Make Them Die Slowly was finished. Jay Yuenger, or "J", replaced him before the album's release, affecting their future sound.[5] One of the most obvious examples of this direction is the difference between the songs "Disaster Blaster" on Make Them Die Slowly and the re-worked version, "Disaster Blaster II", on the God of Thunder EP.[citation needed]
Major label years[edit]
After searching for a record label and being turned down multiple times, the band turned towards RCA Records. However, Zombie opted for a recording contract with Geffen Records. Michael Alago, a representative of Geffen, became interested after hearing God of Thunder and watched one of their shows at Pyramid Club and liked them, mostly for their song "Soul-Crusher". The band produced a demo with the help of J. G. Thirlwell of Foetus and were signed to Geffen.[6]
On March 17, 1992, White Zombie released La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume One, the album which launched them into mainstream recognition. White Zombie began a two-and-a-half-year-long tour for the album soon after its release, during which the band gained a large cult following. During the tour, Ivan de Prume left the band to pursue a successful career as a producer/engineer as well as drummer/percussionist and opened his own studio, Burningsound. He was replaced by Phil Buerstatte. The music video for the song "Thunder Kiss '65" went into heavy rotation on MTV in 1993. The popular TV show Beavis and Butt-head began featuring their music videos, boosting the band's popularity.[4] By the end of 1993, the album had been certified gold by the RIAA. By the time the tour ended in December 1994, Zombie and Yseult had broken up, and La Sexorcisto had gone platinum. Due to artistic differences, Buerstatte was let go, and John Tempesta, who had previously worked with Exodus and Testament, was hired to record White Zombie's second major label album.[4] In 1995, Astro Creep: 2000 was released, featuring the hit single "More Human than Human". In 1996, an album of remixes was released under the title Supersexy Swingin' Sounds. After making one last song for the 1996 film Beavis and Butt-head Do America, titled "Ratfinks, Suicide Tanks and Cannibal Girls", White Zombie broke up in 1998.[4]
After disbanding[edit]
After the breakup of White Zombie, Sean Yseult joined the surf rock band The Famous Monsters, and started playing bass for horror-themed New Orleans-based band, Rock City Morgue. She also briefly played bass for The Cramps.
Tempesta continued his musical relationship with Zombie, drumming for him on his first two solo albums, Hellbilly Deluxe and The Sinister Urge. He is no longer with Zombie, and has gone on to play for Scum of the Earth with his brother, Powerman 5000 guitarist Mike Tempesta, and ex-Zombie guitarist Mike Riggs. Tempesta has toured with Testament (as shown on Testament's DVD, Live In London). On February 14, 2006, he was hired as the new drummer for The Cult, before which, he played with Helmet.
J. produced records for Fu Manchu and New York-based Puny Human.
In July 2006, original members Tom Five and de Prume reunited to perform with de Prume's band, Healer, a middle eastern infused metal band, for several concerts in Southern California for The Vans Warped Tour.[7] De Prume continues to write and record music with Healer, as well as recording, producing and engineering for special projects in his studio, Burningsound. His drums and percussion work can also be heard on Sony's "Ghost Rider" score. In 2009, de Prume began hosting the weekly radio show, "Metalopolis". His studio guests have included Rob Halford, Dave Mustaine, Max Cavalera, Vinnie Paul and Tom Araya. De Prume is also a member of the band KREEP, and has completed a West Coast tour in spring 2010, and is planning an East Coast tour in fall 2010.
In November 2008, Geffen/UME released Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, a boxed set which includes sixty four tracks featuring every White Zombie album and EP (except the remix albums), all remastered. The package also contained nine music videos (including their breakthrough Grammy-nominated hit "Thunder Kiss '65"), and ten live performances. In an interview[8] to promote the release of Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, Zombie made it clear that a reunion with his White Zombie band mates was unlikely, saying, "I don't want fans to think it's the beginning of anything."
In December 2010 Yseult released "I'm in the Band", a book containing tour diaries and photos as well as detailing her eleven years spent as a member of White Zombie.[9][10]
In June 2011, in an interview with Metal Hammer magazine, Rob Zombie was asked why White Zombie split up, in which he replied: "It had run its course. Success is a big thing that you can never plan for, because it affects everybody differently. I don't want to blame myself or anyone else in the band — it's just that the band didn't work anymore. Rather than continuing on and making shitty records and having it all fall apart, I thought: 'Let's just end it on a high point'".
In May 2013, former drummer Phil Buerstatte died.[11]

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Nissan Titan King Cab
By KBB.com Editors
Nissan's Titan full-size pickup is a worthy competitor to long-established rivals from Dodge, Chevrolet and Ford. Although the Titan is available only as a half-ton model, its powerful engine, numerous configurations and lengthy list of clever features should appeal to most light-duty pickup owners. Designed for the urban pickup owner, the Titan is as adept at carrying bikes, kayaks and ski gear as it is hauling plywood, concrete and dirt. A new PRO-4X model suits the needs of serious off-road adventurers. The addition of a long wheelbase model this year is also a welcome addition, as is the Titan's ability to run on either gasoline or E85.
If you're looking for a big, powerful truck that's out of the mainstream in both style and features, has a really nice interior, a stump-pulling V8 engine and a host of innovations designed around real pickup-truck functions, take a look at the Titan.
If you like the more conservatively-styled trucks from Chevrolet and Ford, the Titan may be too flashy for your taste. And the option list does not include dual rear wheels or the choice of a six-cylinder or diesel engine.
The Titan receives a slight freshening with a new front end and new wheels. Redesigned seating provides better support, while new metering for the instrument cluster and center stack improves visual appeal. A long-wheelbase model joins the line, as does an off-road-ready PRO-4X model. New options include Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System, a heated leather bench seat and XM Satellite Radio.
Driving Impressions We found the Titan's V8 engine felt strong at all speeds, with loads of power on demand. The five-speed automatic transmission shifted smoothly and the gated shifter made it easy...
to move between first and second gears whenever we needed to apply engine braking. You may notice some vibration gets telegraphed through the steering wheel, and there is a noticeable exhaust note upon application of the throttle. Still, the Titan delivers a smooth, controlled ride and exhibits better-than-average steering and handling response.Wide-Swinging Rear Door
The hinged rear door on the King Cab model swings back 168 degrees to create exceptionally convenient interior access.
Exterior Storage Box
The Titan's exterior storage box (located behind the left rear wheel) is perfect for storing such items as jumper cables or muddy clothing.
The Titan's interior is bold and forward-thinking in its design. On certain models you can opt for a center console with a gated shifter (the shift lever moves through a slotted path) for better control when shifting gears. The seating is comfortable, though drivers over six feet may find themselves staring out through the windshield's tint band. Some drivers also felt the seat bottoms could do with a sharper upward angle to better support their thighs. You'll find the Titan's new instrumentation to be clear, legible and easy to view, but the placement of the power window buttons atop the door's edge makes them vulnerable to outside elements when the windows are down.
ExteriorNissan offers the Titan in two body styles: King Cab and Crew Cab. An optional spray-in bedliner applied at the factory covers the entire cargo bed floor and walls. The Titan cargo bed also features an available built-in channel system with moveable cleats designed to provide multiple tie-down points. Outside the bed, Nissan has placed a clever storage bin just behind left the rear wheel. The PRO-4X's ground clearance is among the best in its class, with over 10 inches measured at the rear axle. King Cab models feature a rear door that can swing open a full 168 degrees to aid with loading.
The Titan XE has a 317-horsepower 5.6-liter V8, five-speed automatic transmission with a Tow/Haul mode, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), air conditioning, full gauges, exterior cargo light, dual manual side mirrors, a rear 12-volt outlet, AM/FM stereo with CD, fuel tank skid plate, cruise control, tilt wheel, tire pressure monitor and 18-inch steel wheels. The SE, LE and PRO-4X add even more standard features including power locks, power windows, remote keyless entry, dual heated power mirrors, a sliding rear window and 18-inch alloy wheels.
Options vary by trim and include four-wheel drive, front side and head-curtain airbags (covering the front and rear seats), tow package, Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System, Rockford Fosgate audio, spray-in bedliner, eight-way power driver's seat, heated front seats, rear-seat DVD entertainment system (on the Crew Cab), navigation, a limited-slip rear differential, bed extender and a Homelink Universal Transceiver.
Unlike many of its competitors, the Titan offers only one engine choice, and it's the most powerful V8 Nissan builds. The 5.6-liter V8 produces an abundance of power, but it cannot reasonably be expected to deliver the best fuel economy.
5.6-liter V8
317 horsepower @ 5200 rpm
385 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3400 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 12/17 (2WD, gasoline), 12/17 (4WD, gasoline), 9/13 (2WD, E85), 9/12 (4WD, E85)

"I bought this 4X4 truck to tow a 6500lb travel trailer. It has been perfect in all weather and road conditions. The engine provides great power when towing and fun acceleration when driving solo. The ride is smooth and the interior is very comfortable...dual climate controls, nav system, sat radio, great sound system all at a reasonably low price. Because it has a short wheel base, it is very maneuverable in city traffic and parking garages where crew cab F250's drive like land barges."

"172k miles with very little maintenance issues. Changed rotors, serpentine belt, tires, part of the exhaust rusted, bolts holding the skid plate rusted. That's it. Had an issue with the fan as a chip went bad. Bought it online and replaced myself. Also, back right speaker went out shutting the stereo down. Overall, I cannot complain. I put a lot of highway miles but I use it as a truck, not a vehicle that just happens to be a truck. Rarely wash it, haul firewood, dirt, stones, pull a landscape trailer. Goes through snow and at times I used 4wd low to get out of 2' of snow. Nissan hasn't changed the look except for the back window. Doubt I will buy another but I will keep this until it dies."

"I have owned a few domestic trucks and a Toyota, after owning this Nissan Titan I would never consider a domestic again. The Toyota was a great truck as well,but i prefer the Titan. This truck gets worked non stop,i continually exceed the towing capacity and it hasn't yet had an issue. All i have done since 2008 is brake pads,tires and fluid changes. I upgraded the brake pads to carbon metallic which seems to help when towing."

Thus melting the main wire harness. Lost trailer brakes(not fun) but after making "jumper" wire we were back on the road. I ended up rewiring several wires. Had to replace passenger tires with truck tires(10),Why they put them on a truck still baffles me.Had issues with the power windows(10),tailgate assist went out(10)New battery(11) New brakes complete(13) Minor interior issues."

"Good riding for a 2007 model year, handles well, drives as though it were a smaller vehicle, poor visibility around A-pillars, mileage was 10-11 around town, improved to almost 13 mpg, as well as much better low end grunt with the addition of a performance exhaust system, original exhaust is restrictive. I have had no issues except first week my windshield cracked, replaced under warranty and one recall for drive-belt idler pulley. I will look at 2015 Titans with 5.0 L Cummins once available. Likely will replace this 07 with a new 2015 Titan."

- ElynnKy 2012/08/31 01:54:53I like Ayn Rand's philosophy because...+1I like what I know of her philosophy, That the individual is the smallest minority and that cooperation is a higher value than coercion. I have not read her novels because fiction does not interest me a great deal. Many people have a hard time with the idea of an entrepreneur being a hero, but anyone who stands against injustice is a hero regardless of their occupation. I think Ayn Rand is probably one of the most misunderstood people in recent history and her philosophy has been blamed for the failure of an ideal that has never been realized. The free market.
- socokid 2012/08/30 14:19:32I do not like Ayn Rand's philosophy because...+2Strange, I know, but I actually enjoyed her writing for literary purposes alone.
But, to assume her philosophies would be good in practice would be sheer insanity, IMO. They are mostly self defeating, cowardly and hopeless. We can, are, and will do better. We usually have (believe it, or not). - brutusin~ Proud Apetheist 2012/08/30 12:34:39
- Bill 2012/08/30 02:49:41I like Ayn Rand's philosophy because...+1I wouldn't say that I agree with every part of her philosophy,but some of what she said is in fact valid.The government does seem to be over-shadowing everything these days,and that should not be it's role!
However,what she had to say in no way validates a Romney/Ryan Presidency!Obama is in fact more on the left,but he is more trustworthy in general!We don't need the Super-Rich running the government either,as Rand herself would probably agree! - Frank 2012/08/09 11:03:16

- Xerxes 2012/07/09 19:03:11I do not like Ayn Rand's philosophy because...+4Her worship of individualism is extreme, inhuman and unnatural. Humans are social beings, we rely on each other, and we should look after each other. Ayn Rand and her followers seem to believe that they live on Islands, separate from everyone else - a foolish delusion. They also believe that entrepreneurs are morally superior to non-entrepreneurs. Not only is that foolish, its patently false, there are myriad examples of immoral entrepreneurs.
+1The institutions of state bureaucracy are no place for social beings. There's no more human interaction in the administration of your public sector establishment than there is between the master and his slave. Government bureaucracy places no value or personal ownership of one's equities of expertise, accomplishment or even basic human dignity. There is only slavish worship of a fellow human with an official government title.
+1HAHAHA, using big words to try to sound intelligent and failing miserably! "The institutions of state bureaucracy are no place for social beings." What are you talking about? State bureaucracies are FULL of social beings, they fit in very well.
"There's no more human interaction in the administration of your public sector establishment than there is between the master and his slave. "
Huh? where do you get such weird ideas? There's plenty of "human interaction in the administration of your public sector establishment" You think flight safety experts who investigate the cause of airplane crashes dont interact? You think doctors at CDC tracking infectious diseases dont interact? You think border patrol agents dont interact? You really should get out in the world more and learn a thing or two before making such absurd statements.
"equities of expertise, accomplishment or even basic human dignity. " When speaking the English language, throwing random words together is not how you construct a meaningful sentence.
"There is only slavish worship of a fellow human with an official government title." Clearly you have NO idea what you are talking about. -
Your whole argument completely falls apart at "HAHAHA". You just enjoy your safe and comfortable life as a precocious little brat hiding behind the skirts of state bureaucracy if you like and never feel under any pressure to become more educated, mature or independent. The state will always provide for you with the fruits of somebody else's labors and nobody will ever take your childish chattering noises seriously.
+1Your whole argument falls apart at "Your." You just enjoy your safe and comfortable life as a precocious little brat hiding behind the skirts of your rich daddy if you like and never feel any need to become more educated, mature, or independent. Your daddy will always provide for you with the fruits of somebody else's labor and nobody will ever take your childish meandering rants seriously.
My daddy died when I was 14. I provide for myself. While you mimic like a an ignorant ranting 4 year old. No excuse for your immaturity.
+1I am sorry for your loss, but its sadly pathetic of you to try and use your father's death to elicit sympathy when you are losing an argument. Somehow I doubt your dad would be proud of that. My father also passed away, but I dont go around using his death to try and emotionally manipulate others. Shame on you.
It happened a long time ago and it's no shame of mine. It's just sadly pathetic of you to make ignorant assumptions about people's lives when you're losing the argument. But you reveal everything about your own lack of class right here on SH through your dishonesty and cowardice. You stepped in it so no sympathy for you. Consider yourself schooled, punky.
Of course its no shame, I never claimed is was. As for making sadly pathetic and ignorant assumptions about people's lives when you are losing the argument, and demonstrating dishonesty and cowardice: hello pot, meet kettle. I stepped in nothing and certainly need no sympathy from the likes of you. You couldn't school a kindergarten class, punky, but keep telling yourself that you schooled me since its clearly what you need to make you feel good about your pathetic life. Your dad must be proud...
My pot's stainless steel and you've got a loose bolt rattling around in your kettle. Color's not an issue with me. I'm just saying all you're accomplishing is making a racket. Try coming up with your own original material if you think you can flame me without mimicking mine. Try really hard if you can.
+1Being social does not mean enslaving others or sacrificing them to your own cause. Rand did not believe people lived on islands separate from everyone else, she just believed in voluntary cooperation rather than government coercion or mob force. Of course she wasn't perfect. Show me any philosopher who is.
- Super_Doodles 2012/07/08 18:40:04I am not familiar with Ayn Rand's philosophy.+3I didn't realize until recently so many were actually behind her philosophy so I didn't really make it a priority to delve into it. I saw a small clip of a few prominent politicians speak of it in high regard which makes me want to. I'll be doing that very soon. There is SOME truth to what she says so I urge people to consider some thoughts, even if you disagree in whole. SOCIALISM IS THE DEATH OF THE AMERICAN DREAM!
- Alvin 2012/07/08 14:22:43
In desperate situations people will throw their philosophy aside just to survive. I think that is one thing Rand overlooked. Parasitism is human nature and it doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon.

Radio 4 programme last night
over to you
I didn't hear that programme but my OH told me about another programme on the radio where they were discussing chat rooms.
Apparently a father of a 13 year old girl was telling everyone to be careful about using chat room sites after his daughter had arranged to go to Butlins with a friend she'd made on the site. Only it turned out that the 'friend' was not another 13 year old girl but a 30 year old man!The girls father had even spoken to this man on the phone in belief that he was the girl's father. He then proceeded to put his daughter on a train, by herself to meet up with - well who knows what!
What a fool! What parent in their right mind sends a 13 year old off on their own without knowing who's at the other end to meet them!
I don't know how he had the gaul to let himself be interviewed!
The girl was fortunately OK and rang home as soon as she realised what was going on.
We do not allow out children to use chat rooms ever and time on the internet is just for homework.
This is the only forum I go on and I don't give away too much about myself. But I am the same in the 'real' world...
I think there is a lot of naivity about internet disclosure. Would you stand in the street and discuss 'everything' ?
Some of you might......but I suspect it would make people think twice - lots of people come on here to discuss things in 'private' but make no recognition of the fact that trawling their previous threads often gives their location, name, birthday and family members.
What a great piece of responsible parenting...
Coops - really? You didn't look a day over 60. But nice 'tache though.
Mind you my kids think it's very odd that their Mum goes off to meet with people she's met on the net................
We have a bit of reverse parenting here!
no sexual perverts yet but I keep meeting up hopefully
I was on best behaviour!
Still hope for Luton then ?
So I brought my children with me and left them in the care of .........well to name one..... M.ister W
how responsible was that then ?

It's that dreaded dead time again.
No, not in that annoying, overrated Jerry Garcia kind of way.
It's the post-holiday malaise where it's the waiting game. Last year, that empty space was filled with a trade (Gorzelanny). Well, we've already had that trade (G. Gonzalez) and the next one might simply be the unloading of spare parts, should a free-agent signing occur.
The takeaway I have from the GG extension is that the Nationals have locked down their Big Three in the DC rotation, so any excess is bound to be trade bait. That could be Lannan or Detwiler now, or Solis or Ray later (it does not escape me that those are all lefties).
Meanwhile, the low-level rumblings from the lower full-season affiliates are registering like last August's earthquake.
A blog has been established to watch the goings-on from Winchester, a rumored relocation spot for Hagerstown. Kevin Reichard at ballparkdigest.com has yet to weigh in, but my take is that if privately funded efforts in more affluent counties (i.e. The Loudoun Hounds) are having trouble getting off the ground, how will a publicly funded effort possible do better (and faster)? Not to mention, the most likely destination (Bridgeforth Field) would need a massive renovation. I've seen it done before, but only at the indy level (Lynn, Nashua, Worcester), where the 1991 NAPBL stadium standards don't apply.
Meanwhile, in Woodbridge the quest for a new stadium for the Potomac Nationals remains a windmill in the distance continues. The latest dispatch has a county official citing a nonspecific setback over a parking garage of undetermined size is delaying a future announcement for the building of a facility located somewhere along the I-95 or I-66 corridor. Apparently, I'm not the only writer desperate for a news peg.
Of course, now that I've done a post-to-keep-the-site-fresh, something else minors-oriented might happen today…
22 Responses to "All Quiet On The Minor-League Front"
The pre-arb signing of Gio looks like a pretty good deal for both parties, maxing out at $12M/year, and locks up the top-3 in the rotation through 2014 at the least.
So far as the minor-league park situations go, how would Winchester be a better location than Hagerstown? I haven't dug deep enough into that situation to fully understand it. The Potomac kerfluffle will probably continue unresolved for some time, imo. Seems like everytime Silber & the PWCo board get close to a deal, somebody throws a wrench in the works. Also wondering about how repairs are progressing up in Harrisburg; Haven't read much on that lately.
I've gotten assurances from Terry Byrom that the MBP field is ready to go.
As for the PWC, the idea of chaining the site to something that generates revenue year-round is intriguing, provided that parking is assured for games, particularly for STHs and other VIPs, especially if the new facility has luxury boxes or goes for a non-event amenities (think of the setup they have at RFP in So. Maryland). Like you say, PWC has a history of parsimony and myopia, which is a deadly combination. We can only hope that the financing has a third partner, whether that's a sponsor or state/federal redevelopment monies. This being Virginia, land of the 4-way stop sign, I'd put more stock in getting a sponsorship.
In regards to Hagerstown Suns possibly relocating to Winchester. The information that has been shared is informing me that this is a legit effort by city officials as it's been in the works for nearly a year.
City officials have identified a location within the city that contains approx 8 acres and is not within Jim Barnett Park where Bridgeforth Field is located.
Maybe Valley Healthy Systems might be interested in buying the naming rights to such a new stadium? Lewis-Gale Medical did that with Salem City minor league park.
There is a lot of old money within Winchester, who knows maybe some of the heavy hitters want minor league baseball?
Time will tell …
Rare is the municipal plan that hasn't been "in the works for quite some time now," so you'll forgive my incredulity. I would, however, be interested to know the exact proposed location.
With Hagerstown's PDC running through 2012, a new facility would have to be ready by April 2013. It's possible that the NAPBL would allow an interim season at another facility, but I cannot think of an instance in which a team has moved from one city without moving into a previously occupied and/or NAPBL-compliant facility.
That was the entire point of that stadium standards agreement: To make cities compete against each other to build new facilities. I don't see any affiliated team moving into a substandard facility.
I'm also suspicious of the entire idea of Winchester having the demographics to support full-season minor-league baseball. Frederick County may have a lot of "old money," but it doesn't have a lot of people: ~74K vs. 145K in Washington County.
Spike looks like Winston Churchill, even to the red eyes. Good to see the big three in for the long haul. But I must be one of the only Nat's fan who thinks Detweiler could make it a big four. He along with Desi seem to be the two players that the fans overall sell short.
Sorry, Luke. I realize this isn't minor league related, but both players are not far removed from the minors.-
Detwiler, Lannan, and Desmond are the most "tradeable" assets Rizzo has to work with. From that standpoint, you then look to who might replace them on the farm or in a player back in a trade.
I'm not saying that's what ought to happen because trading them means doubling down on doubts… Wang's durability, Espinosa's second-half swoon, Lombardozzi's readiness, etc.
The two most viable replacements for either "spare" LHP appear to be at least a season away, and should Rizzo decide to deal away Lombardozzi, his replacement is probably closer to two years away.
I don't envy Rizzo, et al any of those decisions.
Mayhap you are forgetting a guy that the Nats just signed to avoid arbitration: Jesus Flores? He is a very tradable asset … unless of course the FO fears side effects from Ramos narrow escape this year that could affect his play. Otherwise, Solano looks better suited to play the backup role with Flores traded to acquire needed assets.
Keep in mind what Rizzo said when he first took over. And given the current situation team building/construction wise. Trades/deals/transactions often lead to other possibilities. There is a certain coupling between them.
If they manage to sign Prince Fielder it many open up some other possibilities that might just lead to acquiring the CF in trade for some of the players you list above and others?
The next season in which Jesus Flores plays 100 games will be the first since 2006. He also didn't exactly tear it up in AAA last year like one might expect he should have (this past VWL season is encouraging, but that's against pitchers that ranged in caliber anywhere from Low-A to AAA on any given night). He did, however, hit well enough to get a raise, and that also decreases his trade value just a tad.
Good point about the raise. Same deal with Lannan. He isn't a 5 million dollar pitcher. Not even close. He would not be tradable with a multi-year version.
However, both Lannan's and Flores' salaries slice in half around the trade deadline and since they are 1 year only? I suspect they both could still be traded. Bet they get more for Flores than they do for Lannan.
City of Winchester population is approx 26k and is surrounded by Frederick County which is approx 74k.
Valley Health Systems is headquartered in Winchester and their serve an reg'l community that contains 18 counties with population base of 1.1 million.
So one would think Winchester would be able to draw from a diverse reg'l community of 1.1 million.
You're double-counting the City of Winchester. The 74K figure for the population of Frederick County includes the City of Winchester. Regardless of that figure, the fact remains that Winchester is smaller and less populous. And one thing that is nearly inarguable is that people will only drive so far to attend a game. You can make the contrarian argument that Winchester may do better because it has less competition from other entertainment options, but that argument looks much better in theory than in practice.
To be more exact, based on 2010 numbers …
City of Winchester … 26,203
http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/51/5186720.htmlFrederick County … 78,305
http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/51/51069.htmlCity of Winchester is separate from Frederick County.
"Regardless of that figure, the fact remains that Winchester is smaller and less populous."
Winchester + Frederick County = 104,508 vs. Washington County = 147,430. The difference (42,992) curiously enough is nearly population of the City of Hagerstown itself (39,662). The point still remains: The current market in which Suns exist is substantially (read: 40%+) larger.
This is not to crack against Winchester. Them's just the facts. It would personally be more beneficial to me and this site if they were to relocate there because it would by nearly a half hour closer, one less toll, and no river to cross. But I can't see any ownership group wanting to move to a significantly smaller market without a brand-new facility. Maybe somebody here can think of a team that has, but I can't.
From what I am hearing, if the City of Winchester lures a team here, there will be a brand new stadium. One has to assume that has to be part of the deal.
If no new stadium, I agree, I could not see any team moving here.
This blogger up in Hagerstown has sources close to the situation … http://thoughtsofrs.blogspot.com/
I can no longer remeber the time frame, but I remember taking my kids to Hagerstown to watch baseball & I think it was a AA team back then. I was living in Braddock Heights (Frederick County, Md.) then, so it was an easy drive and the kids loved being so close to real live baseball stars. (:)
We're going back 25+ years, but Hagerstown seemed quite the opposite of Frederick, Md. then.We're not that far away from Winchester being a suburb of Washington
The final merger of Baltimore and Washington into a single city? Still quite a bit smaller than some of those huge overnight megalopolis' in the middle of China.
A note about the Big Board and Draft Tracker: Google, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that those documents are violating its Terms of Service, but has not provided any information about what exactly the purported violation is. I am following up and will not rest until I get my work back.
And in the time it took me to carefully write that, deleting all of the potentially rude and/or uncomplimentary things I was going to say about the world's dominate search engine and controller of my life, they fixed it. Crisis resolved … hopefully before y'all even realized it.
Indeed. But I was prepared to have our staff attorney to file an appeal.
That attorney looks like he should be representing Prince Fielder, who it turns out is no longer a vegetarian. In August 2011 he said that diet was too time consuming to manage.
Spike sure has a lot of jobs. Hope he is well compensated for all the work he does!
I always kind of wondered about using that spreadsheet. I don't think I would have.

Expand/Contract Questions and Answers
How does the freeze hold option work? When placing a hold in the library's catalog you can specify that your hold be placed "on ice" and not lose your place in the queue. This can be useful if you are going on vacation or otherwise will be unable find time to read the book. However you must "unfreeze" the hold - it will not automatically become active.
- There must be a queue in order to be able to freeze a hold. If the item doesn't have a queue then freezing a hold will not be an option.
- If there is an item ready to fill your hold then you will not be able to freeze your hold.
- If your hold is already at the top of the hold queue and an item has been flagged to fill your hold then you will not be able to freeze your hold.
- Remember to unfreeze any frozen holds you might have or they will expire.
There are 3 ways we can send notices: via email, telephone or by postal mail. Notices via email or postal mail include the titles of the items involved, while for privacy issues, telephone notices are very general.
- Let your local branch staff know your notice preference type when you are at the branch.
If we are unable to contact you through either email or telephone then a printed notice will be sent.
- Answer: A library card is a lot like a credit card. It allows you to use library materials and holds you liable for lost and overdue materials. If you lose your library card call or come in to any Yolo County Library branch immediately and staff will void your lost library card number and issue you a new card. There is a nominal replacement cost.
- Go to My Account at http://web-iii.yolocounty.org/patroninfo
- Access your account online by entering your card number and PIN then you can change your email address.
- Click on the PATRON RECORD button located at the top of the screen.
- Then click on the MODIFY PERSONAL INFO button located near your name.
- A smaller MODIFY PERSONAL INFORMATION window will appear where you can enter your new email address and
- Then click on the SUBMIT button.
Answer: Your PIN is encrypted information so if you have forgotten it the staff will be unable to look it up for you. To get a new PIN either:
- Call or come in to your nearest branch and ask a circulation staff member to delete the old one and then you can assign a new one.
- On the Yolo County online catalog webpage http://web-iii.yolocounty.org/patroninfo click on the Forget your PIN? button and enter your barcode number. An email will be automatically sent to the email given in your library account. This email will ask you to respond within a 3 hour time period and enter a new PIN.
- Answer: A PIN is a personal identification number that is the equivalent to a password for accessing your online record. You can assign yourself a PIN via the online catalog at http://web-iii.yolocounty.org by clicking on the MY ACCOUNT button on the main page of the Yolo County Library catalog. This button is located in the upper right hand corner of the page. When you click on it a My ACCOUNT Login page will appear. Enter your library card number and then enter the PIN you want to assign yourself. This can be an alphanumeric combination and can also include special characters such as !, /, &. Click on the Submit button. The system will respond back with a Please Enter A New PIN screen. It will already have your card number entered and ask you to enter and then confirm your new PIN.
Answer: You can:
Bring the material in to any Yolo County Library branch for renewal;
Call any branch during open hours;
Renew via the automated telephone renewal system by calling 530-666-8016 or 530-666-8017 and following the prompts. You will need to know the barcode number of the item you want to renew;
Renew online at http://web-iii.yolocounty.org and clicking on the MY ACCOUNT button. Enter your library card number and PIN and click on the SUBMIT button. You can select which item you want to renew from this screen. Please note that most library material can be renewed twice but if there are fines of $5.00 or more or holds by other users then the items can not be renewed. After renewing be sure to wait until the system responds back that it has renewed the item or the reason why the item was not renewed.
- Answer: Come in to any Yolo County Library branch with written verification of your current address and a photo ID. Fill out an application and then staff can issue you a card.

I Think it's great that you decided to finish this series, I've always loved what you've done with simply great artwork, music, and sound fx.

i think it's glitched for me?
it didn't work i think what would probly be about half way for me.

Exellence Work
Great graphic and animation, relaxing music and sound (especially snoring and waterfall sound) were match to the atmosphere of the game, nice to know there's implementation of dialogue to solve the puzzle and deeper the nice story, almost quit the game when I got trapped, but still nice tricky to find the button to get out. The glowed dot puzzle in the cave was also brilliant, and this game is not hard, but not easy though, I spend almost an hours to complete this game without any walkthrough, best non violence adventure game I have ever played, thank you for creating this one.
I found little glitch on the "Moss Gate", when I reach last floor and jump to right side, I through out the wall house :p anyway I never play the 2nd and 1st series before, but it surely good as previous series.
The only complains for this game is sometimes I couldn't move forwards that it should be can pass in the normal conditions, like before the gate open at the jump on the top of rock roof (at the "Moss Gate") and also on the top of left stair (where's there're 2 stairs becomes a bridge, surprise!!), and sometimes I could jump off the top of stage. Also there's no game over or die make you must climb up over and over if you go down.
Overall, exellence work, it's became my favorites.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
cool stuff!
great environments...
really fun game! actually felt like a little adventure too!

'Interlinguistic Communication in Bede's Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum', seeks better to understand the processes whereby English and, to a lesser extent, Gaelic, expanded in early medieval Britain at the expense of the p-Celtic dialects. Most research has tried to examine this process in its earliest, prehistoric phases, but the present study focuses on the (near-)contemporary evidence for its seventh- and eighth-century phases provided by Bede and other writers of his time. Bede's concern about Anglo-Saxons' limited access to Latin is abundantly clear, but taken together, a number of hints also point towards his sensitivity to Roman and British Latin-language traditions in Britain. British Latin maintained features of vulgar Latin pronunciation as well as some distinctive semantics; Bede disliked both, but the fact that he saw fit to snipe at them may itself be evidence for the vigour of British Latin--and arguably for Bede's own anxiety at the fragility of Anglo-Saxons' Latin heritage relative to Britons' deeper traditions. Bede's evidence also suggests that British Latin was heard rather than merely read, and not only heard in the liturgy. However, we also have some evidence that by the decades around 700--whether more in Bede's time or the 660s is hard to guess--Latin would not have afforded its speakers much leverage at major ecclesiastical meetings in Northumbria, and perhaps also, therefore, in Irish-speaking regions. It seems that such meetings were, at least at times, being conducted in English and Irish, even when we might imagine Latin to have been a useful lingua franca. This does not tell us anything definite about the upper levels of Latinity in the early Anglo-Saxon and Irish churches, since the choice of language may have been influenced by the presence of less learned participants, but Bede also implies that it would be unsurprising for an Anglo-Saxon in an Irish monastery to learn Irish, suggesting the prevalence of vernacular languages in Irish and English ecclesiastical discourse at this time. Thus although British Latinity may have been in better shape in Bede's time than surviving texts would suggest, this may not have much helped British clerics to advance their interests.

They feel bad, so they found you these other deals to make up for it.
Select Local Merchants
Rejuvenated HeartRead MoreLicensed massage therapist Willow Buswell gained her knowledge and experience at East West College of the Healing Arts. At Rejuvenated Heart, she uses them to blend a variety of massage techniques into custom massages. Such techniques include deep-tissue work, orthopedic massage, and tui na, which uses acupressure and joint mobilization to increase energy. Willow can enhance any massage with aromatherapy or dry exfoliation that releases histamine so muscles can become more relaxed.2100 SE Lake Rd, Ste 2DMilwaukie, OR US
Bodhisattva MassageRead MoreSignature Service: Thai massage Established: 2014 Reservations/Appointments: Required Handicap Accessible: Yes Staff Size: 1 person Parking: Parking lot Minimum Age Requirement: 18 Pro Tip: For Thai massage, you should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing because you will not undress.6501 SE King Rd.Milwaukie, OR US
Spa SasséRead MoreFrom the street, Spa Sass? is barely distinguishable from the other little black awnings and narrow storefronts. But step inside, and the narrow storefront opens up into a 5,000-square-foot refuge from the downtown bustle. Guests are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes early for their appointment, giving them ample time to slip into fluffy robes and slippers and sip complimentary juice or tea before being ushered into a private treatment room. Here, aestheticians strive to ensure a soothing experience by treating skin with the utmost delicacy. They nourish it with natural ingredients such as honey, cacao, and Dead Sea salts, and, during laser hair removal, they wield the SoftLight laser, whose beams are gentle enough to zap hair from faces without damaging pores.630 SW Alder StPortland, OR US
Infinite Vitality - Kirchem ChiropracticRead MoreInfinite Vitality - Kirchem Chiropractic's team brings together a diverse set of specialties to help alleviate pain and tension in their clients' lives. Dr. Paul Atti, for instance, possesses a lot of experience in exercise rehabilitation, and uses that knowledge alongside chiropractic adjustments to help patients heal and avoid recurring injury. Dr. Lauren Bah, on the other hand, takes a very broad approach to health, implements small changes in posture, tension, diet, and exercise to help people feel better. The team also includes two massage therapists who, between them, practice five different modalities. Regardless of what kind of treatment a patient comes in for, they enjoy one-on-one attention from their provider. Treatments take place one of six private rooms, which feature little in the way of furnishings beyond a chiropractic or massage table to lie down on and dream of a future where humans don't have scary skeletons inside of them.13150 Northeast Halsey StreetPortland, OR US
Integration Massage and BodyworkRead MoreWhat would be more of a relief: to ease the pain of sore muscles or to target what's causing them to be sore? According to licensed therapist Rosi Goldsmith, it's the latter. She's adept at varied massage modalities that help relieve the body of muscular pain, but she also focuses on what she calls "tension patterns." She works with clients to bring better awareness of their bodies, and how they might be perpetuating chronic pain with poor posture or by always carrying their bag on their heads. Integration therapies such as ortho-bionomy help her identify these causes and help bring clients into better body balance.2929 SW Multnomah BlvdPortland, OR US
Moon Dance MassageRead MoreAt Moon Dance Wellness, Sefana Wilde works with clients from the inside out to help them forge a path toward total-body health. As a student at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, she trained in more than 100 dietary theories before crafting a unique dietary approach based on bio-individuality and balanced food intake. Her wellness-counseling practice also helps her clients become more aware of the attention they bring to exterior factors such as relationships, career, and spiritual awareness. To help the body further mend, therapeutic swedish, thai, and ayurvedic massages are available, as well as private healing movement therapy sessions.4475 SW Scholls Ferry RdPortland, OR US

JEFFERSON CITY — Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster plans to release the 10th annual statewide report of police vehicle stops.
The report uses data from the state's more than 700 law enforcement agencies. Police report the driver's race, age and gender. Also reported are the reasons for the traffic stop and if a ticket was issued. Police agencies that do not report their statistics can have state funding withheld by the governor's office.
Koster, a Democrat, planned to hold news conferences Tuesday about this year's traffic report in St. Louis and Kansas City. The attorney general also plans to demonstrate a new website that will include the police traffic stop data.

A Summary Of Today's CBA Meeting
by Paul on 11/08/12 at 08:13 PM ET
Comments (5)
from the CP at CBC,
Thursday's talks were held at the offices of a midtown Manhattan law firm. So far, the sides have had little to say publicly about how the discussions have gone.
Sources told The Canadian Press that the Players' Association tabled an offer Wednesday night regarding revenue sharing and the league's "make whole" provision, which is designed to ensure all existing contracts are honoured in full. It is seen as the fundamental issue left to solve with the NHLPA having already agreed to see the players' share in revenue reduced to 50 per cent during the next CBA.
The union views that as a concession of more than $1 billion US because that's how much more players would earn if it remained at the current level of 57 per cent.
The league responded to the players' offer on Thursday, with Gary Bettman saying there's "still a lot of work to do."
With all regular-season games cancelled through Nov. 30, negotiations have reached a critical and delicate stage. Ten days will be needed from the time an agreement is struck until the season starts and there is still hope among the parties that a shortened schedule could begin by Dec. 1.
For that to happen, signs of progress need to emerge soon.

True RW and I think we can safely say that for every day moving forward. As long as they continue to meet, even though it appears very slow, it is a good thing.

For sure, Paul. I breathe a sigh of relief as I wait for meeting updates, and don't see the words "no further meetings scheduled"

Lee Jones earned the chance to sign for Edinburgh Rugby with a string of strong performances both for the Scotland 7s team in the HSBC Sevens World Series and for his previous club Selkirk. He then moved west along the M8 in February 2014 for a loan period with Glasgow Warriors.
His pace, a strength in the contact and an unquestionable eye for the try line earned the young Borderer his first full Scotland cap as the starting winger against England in the nation's opening match of the 2012 RBS 6 Nations campaign at Murrayfield Stadium in front of a capacity crowd. To date he has won four caps for Scotland.
Arguably, Jones' rugby prowess lies in the abbreviated game. He made his international debut in sevens when Scotland opened their 2009/10 World Series campaign in Dubai and went on to be selected for the 2010 Commonwealth Games squad in Delhi.
He was named in his second Commonwealth Games squad when Stephen Gemmell included him in the Glasgow 2014, Team Scotland side. Across the two multi-sport events he has scored a whopping 14 tries.
Lee has also played for Scotland under-18, under-19 and under-20 and the Borders' under-16 and under-18 teams.

via press release:
Reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Brad Paisley and former CMA Entertainers of the Year Vince Gill and Keith Urban will pay tribute to Country Music Hall of Fame member and former CMA Entertainer of the Year Glen Campbell during "The 45th Annual CMA Awards." The three guitar virtuosos' performance saluting the legendary singer/musician will be a highlight of "Country Music's Biggest Night™."
"The 45th Annual CMA Awards," hosted by Paisley and Carrie Underwood, airs live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9 (8:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. Previously announced performers include Jason Aldean, The Band Perry, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Sara Evans, Faith Hill, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride, Scotty McCreery, Sugarland, Taylor Swift, Thompson Square, Keith Urban, Chris Young and Zac Brown Band, plus Kenny Chesney and Grace Potter singing their hit collaboration, "You and Tequila"; Rascal Flatts and Natasha Bedingfield singing their current hit duet, "Easy"; Lionel Richie performing a medley of hits with Little Big Town, Rascal Flatts and Darius Rucker; and co-hosts Paisley and Underwood in their first live televised-performance of their No. 1 song, "Remind Me."
Campbell was named both CMA Entertainer and Male Vocalist of the Year in 1968, and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005. The legendary performer has sold more than 45 million albums and recorded such classic hits as "Wichita Lineman," "Gentle on My Mind," "Galveston," "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," "Southern Nights" and "Rhinestone Cowboy." As a musician, Campbell was part of the much-heralded Wrecking Crew that performed on a variety of artists' albums. His guitar prowess is featured on the Beach Boys' seminal album, "Pet Sounds," and on Frank Sinatra's megahit, "Strangers in the Night," among others. He acted alongside John Wayne in the movie "True Grit," and hosted "The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour" on television from 1968-1972. Earlier this year Campbell announced he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He is in the midst of his successful Goodbye Tour after releasing his final album, the critically-acclaimed "Ghost on the Canvas."
Gill is No. 3 on the list for the most career wins in CMA Awards history, having won 18 CMA Awards thus far, including two Entertainer Awards (1993, 1994), five consecutive Male Vocalist Awards (1991-1995, tying him with George Strait for the most wins in that category), two Album Awards (1993 for "I Still Believe in You" and 1994 for "Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles"), and a record-holding four Song of the Year Awards (1991 for "When I Call Your Name," 1992 for "Look at Us," 1993 for "I Still Believe In You," and 1996 for "Go Rest High on That Mountain"). Gill served as host of the CMA Awards for 12 consecutive years (1992-2003), a record for hosts of any nationally televised Awards show. He released his new album, "Guitar Slinger," last week.
The reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year, Paisley received five nominations in 2011 for Entertainer; Male Vocalist; Album for "This is Country Music"' and Musical Event and Music Video of the Year for "Old Alabama," featuring Alabama. Paisley has won 14 CMA Awards to date, including three consecutive Male Vocalist Awards (2007-2009) and Album of the Year (in 2006 for "Time Well Wasted"). This is his fourth consecutive year to co-host the CMA Awards with Underwood.
Urban received two nominations this year, Entertainer and Male Vocalist of the Year. He has won four CMA Awards to date: Entertainer in 2005 and three consecutive Male Vocalist of the Year Awards (2004-2006). Urban's current album is "Get Closer."
"The 45th Annual CMA Awards" is a production of the Country Music Association. Robert Deaton is the executive producer, Paul Miller is the director, and David Wild is the writer. The special will be shot in high definition and broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC's selected HDTV format, with 5.1 channel surround sound.

Let's Be Real: Burning Man Is Bad for the Environment
By Keith Plocek
This week, 68,000 revelers will descend on Nevada's remote Black Rock Desert. (That is, assuming the rain lets up.)
They will travel from Los Angeles, London, Melbourne, Mexico City, and places you've never heard of. They will take part in the temporary city that is Burning Man and will light a giant wooden man aflame.
Despite it all, Burning Man somehow has gotten a reputation as a "green" event. But that is simply not the case. Make no mistake: Burning Man is bad for the environment.
There's certainly a lot of talk about the environment surrounding the festival. It's long been touted as a leave-no-trace event. Participants throw around terms such as MOOP (matter out of place) to acknowledge they, like good Boy and Girl Scouts, do their best to leave their campsites cleaner than before they arrived.
Burners are shunned for wearing feather boas, lest an errant wisp float away onto the playa. And glitter is also a big no-no, even though it's a mainstay with the EDM fans who meet the neo-hippies and post-apocalyptic cosplayers in the middle of Black Rock City's Venn diagram.
And while that's all great, let's not forget about the thousands of cars driving hundreds of miles, the hundreds of planes flying thousands of miles, and the gigantic burning dude -- that's a lot of smoke being spit into the air. No matter how clean the desert looks when the party is done, no matter how diligent the organizers are about shaming those who leave behind MOOP, the environment gets worse every year because of Burning Man.
Seven years ago, Burners created a website and calculated the overall carbon footprint of the prior year's event. All told, Burning Man 2006 pumped out 27,492 tons of greenhouse gases. Eighty-seven percent of that was from travel to and from Black Rock City, while the actual burning man was responsible for 112 tons.
There were 40,000 participants that year, but now they allow 28,000 more people, so let's update the math. Being generous and assuming the staff and infrastructure will have the same impact at 1,776 tons, we can figure those additional 28,000 participants will produce the same amount of carbon dioxide as the others, and raise this year's overall total to 45,493 tons of greenhouse gases.
So what does that mean? Just how much is 45,493 tons?
You can think about it this way: The average American is responsible for 17.6 tons of greenhouse gases each year, or 0.33 tons per week. The average Burner will produce 0.67 tons next week, or double the national average. There's nothing green about doubling the national average, especially when you consider the average Californian only spits out 0.17 tons per week, and even the average Texan only belches out 0.49 tons.
If your community's environmental impact is worse than the Lone Star State's, you are not doing a very good job with that whole civic responsibility thing.
Burning Man's organizers are aware of the effects of all that pollution, and they are taking some steps to mitigate the damage. LA Weekly exchanged a few emails with spokesman Jim Graham, who says they give participants an incentive to carpool wherever possible.
"We've also had a program going into its third year where we're offering to deliver potable water to camps that use large amounts (250 gallons or more) throughout the week," he says. "This year we are also testing a fuel depot for mutant vehicles as a test to determine whether we can reduce the amount of emissions from individual camps hauling in additional fuel for art cars."
These measures are well-intentioned, but they are drops of oil in a dirty bucket. Greenhouse gases are MOOP too, and those gases have a far larger effect on all of us than a few flecks of glitter fluttering off someone's face into the dust.

Since the vast majority of White's writings were on topics of spirituality and religion, the format is split here between essays and papers and her writings on The Bible and other religious texts. The result is an easy-to-navigate app that provides numerous tools for finding different bits of information and opinions she expressed in her works.
EGW Writings opens much like any other compilation app on the iPhone. There is a central browser that allows you to choose where you will look, a search tool, and a page navigator. You can also share any given page you are reading and you can take notes at any time. While not as powerful as a dedicated eReader app or some of the other free reading apps on the iPhone, this app works fairly well because of the range of options it includes and the way they are integrated with the depth of White's writings. The interface is basic and does only the bare minimum, but in this case that's okay because there are no added features that need advanced interface tools.
If you are a fan of Ellen G. White's work or would like to integrate it into your studies more actively, this app is a useful tool for you. It's laid out in an easy-to-navigate, easy-to-read format, and there are enough options here to help you find anything you need to know. The app is free and there are no ads included.
