A day for Celtics Game 5 success?
|05.26.10 at 12:11 am ET
On Wednesday, the Celtics will look to wrap up the Eastern Conference finals in Game 5 against the Magic in Orlando.
If they are able to do so, it would not be the first time a Celtics team has pulled off a significant Game 5 win on May 26.
On May 26, 1987, Larry Bird infamously stole an inbounds pass from Isiah Thomas and dished to Dennis Johnson for the game-winning basket against the Detroit Pistons in the Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals.
The Celtics went on the win the series in seven games before ultimately falling to the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

Language is not merely a play of semantics. Especially not when deployed by seasoned politicians eyeing positions of supreme power. Unfortunately, the politicians battling it out in the 2014 elections appear to be indifferent to the ominous portents their words convey to the electorate, particularly the vulnerable among them. The latest example in this genre of unmindful electoral language is provided by Narendra Modi, the Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate.
Modi's threats to deport Bangladeshi immigrants from Bengal if his government comes to power at the Centre, gives us reason to worry about the political and governance template he has in his mind. At an election meeting last week, charging Mamata Banerjee with pandering to Bangladeshi immigrants, Modi said: "I want to warn from here, brothers and sisters write down, that after May 16, will send these Bangladeshis beyond the border with their bags and baggages."
To understand the pernicious implications of Modi's remarks, we have to situate them in the history of Bengal, which occupies an important place in the evolution of the sub-continent's communal politics. By the turn of the 20th century, Bengal had one of the largest concentrations of Muslims and also one of the worst records of communal violence. In the aftermath of the 1943 Bengal famine, the state witnessed the consolidation of communal ideologies later culminating in the Calcutta riots and the Noakhali violence in 1946-47. Each traumatic historic event — 1947 partition to Bangladesh's 1971 war of liberation — brought waves of refugees to Bengal's doorsteps, seeding subterranean communal tension. But such subliminal frictions never came to the surface.
During the Left Front's hegemonic rule of 34 years, the state remained free from riots even as the rest of the country intermittently battled communal violence. But underneath the peace and the camaraderie simmered latent tension. Such divisive sentiments however — unlike in other parts of the country — could not manifest themselves through organised political platforms.
Is this fragile social/political contract about to be broken? A figure as deeply polarising as Modi — aided by intemperate voices emanating from the various factions of the Sangh Parivar — could well renew communal tension in a state which has experienced the pangs of Hindu/Muslim violence in the past. Media reports seem to suggest that the BJP — riding on Modi's popularity — has sniffed blood in Bengal, where it is still to find a toehold. With a weak organisation and a 5-6% popular vote share, the BJP has always had a marginal presence in the state. In 1999, its alliance with the Trinamool Congress fetched the BJP two parliamentary seats — a tally not repeated since. Yet, pollsters this time are predicting a 15-16% high popular vote share. If true, that might give the BJP a leg-up in the state, something the party has been eyeing for a while.
The one reason for BJP's renewed interest in Bengal — besides coalition politics compulsions — could be that communal polarisation seems to be deepening in the state. Police records reveal a spiral in communal clashes last year. Between February and August, there were 42 major incidents of communal clashes, a majority of these occurring in South and North 24 Parganas — both adjacent to Kolkata. The ruling Trinamool Congress has been criticised for playing 'minority politics', alongside a mushrooming of Muslim organisations and NGOs.
With his aggressive statements spiked with communal innuendos, Modi appears to be further sharpening these tensions; dangerous temptations that a prime ministerial candidate should surely steer clear of.

World No. 1 batswoman in One Day Internationals, Mithali Raj, cannot wait to don her white flannels once again. The only Indian woman with a double hundred in Test cricket is excited and looking forward to playing the longer format once again after a long wait of eight years when the Indian women tour England in August.
The Indian women will play a four-day contest in Wormsley from August 13-16 followed by three ODIs on August 21, 23 and 25, the first two at Scarborough and the third one at the Lord's cricket ground.
Thirty one-year-old Raj, who spoke at the Sports Journalists Federation of India's 37th National Convention here on Wednesday evening, said the cricket boards should organise more Test cricket for women.
"We are touring England in August and we are playing one Test. Though I have scored 214 in a Test match, I will be playing a Test after eight long years. As an experienced cricketer, I would take some time to prepare my temperament. Preparation is a must for Test cricket," she said.
"It is sad that there are so less Test matches in women's cricket and I hope the boards come together and organise more Test matches for women's cricket," added Raj.
Praising BCCI for the way they are handling women's cricket, she also stressed on how the Indian cricket board should have more domestic matches to unearth new talents. "I would say good, but there is a flip side to it also. The domestic cricket is organised well and we get access to facilities like the National Cricket Academy. There are also monetary benefits. But the flip side is that the domestic tournaments are very short. I believe that you need to play more domestic matches to produce more players."
Raj also wanted the board to reward them with central contracts that would help them feel secure. "As far as I know, we are the only team that does not have a central contract with the national board. I don't know what is holding it up but it would be good if it happens because it would provide security to players who do not have a permanent job," added Raj, who impressed last month by top scoring with 67 as Rest of the World Women's XI defeated Marylebone Cricket Club by 41 runs in the Bicentenary Celebrations of the Lord's ground in London on May 19.

…that are injected with antibiotics and don't get free range: Nature's Harmony Farms has a good illustration of a case in point with Tyson chicken suing the USDA.
Tag: chickens
Gertrude and Lobelia
Our first two chickens.
Yesterday, Katie and I went over to my friend Nathan's house and with his help, humanely slaughtered our chickens and processed them.
This was the first time I have ever killed a chicken, and I was anxious about it because I didn't know how exactly to do it in such a way that the chicken would feel the least pain. I read in Joel Salatin's book, Pastured Poultry Profits, that I should cut the arterial vein in the neck, being careful to avoid the windpipe so the chicken wouldn't go into shock, and then chicken's nervous system would pump out the blood and the chicken would quickly expire.
So that is what I did, while Katie and Nathan held the chicken upside down, and then we skinned the chicken so we didn't have to scald and pluck the feathers off. Katie did splendidly and was so helpful, and without Nathan's experience, we would have been befuddled certainly.
It was somewhat hard for me to kill our chickens because they are living creatures that God has made, and they had provided us with many eggs, many hours of entertainment (and toil and frustration), and if we kept letting them live could have survived for many more years potentially.
But as Katie pointed out, our Lord made these creatures for our benefit, and we honor them even in death by letting them serve us as food with their bodies.
I've eaten hundreds if not thousands of chickens in my life, yet I have had no idea how those chickens lived nor how they were slaughtered–if I cannot slaughter a chicken then how do I justify eating them all the time? My friend Nathan pointed out the same reasoning to me when he first slaughtered one of his chickens.
We would have let these old chickens live longer, but unfortunately they never accepted the new chickens into their flock, and when we put them all in the coop together to try to let them work things out, the older chickens would mercilessly peck the younger ones, and the younger ones would be panicked and bloody themselves on the chicken wire of the coop as they tried to escape the attacks. With foster children hopefully coming soon, we couldn't have the younger chickens running loose in the backyard all day, leaving droppings everywhere, and so we decided that we needed to slaughter the older chickens.
If God calls Katie and I to start a farm one day, we will be raising animals and slaughtering them regularly to provide good food for ourselves and for other families. This was a good opportunity to have a trial-run and see whether we have the fortitude to be farmers–I think that we just might!
Hester's First Egg!
Hester the chicken had been grousing and making noise all day long, often jumping up on the water sprinkler control box near the kitchen window to see what Katie and I were up to and let us know she wanted some food.
Well, just now I heard the tell-tale Bwahck-bwahk-bwahk-BWAHCK! squawk outside and ran out there to try to get the chickens to pipe down and not disturb the neighbors, and Hester was in the compost pile making the squawking sounds over and over.
I picked her up out of the compost pile and saw that in the corner she had laid her first egg! It was a little one, which is common as they first start laying, but it was right there in a little cubby she had nested into.
The big chickens days are numbered…

Timelords Thoughts.
This is without doubt one of my Top 10 favourite albums of all time as Appetite For Destruction is a album of outstanding quality delvering twelve phenomenal rock tracks with stunning vocals by Axel Rose the amazing talent guitar talent of Slash who in my opinion is one of rocks greatest guitar players while Duff McKagan delivers excellence on Bass.
Appetite For Destruction works because the band were trying desperately to make it big in LA which they did as this album showcases plenty of quality songs & killer riffs from Welcome To The Jungle, Sweet Child O' Mine, Paradise City being just a few of the amazing tracks delivered on this album.
Guns & Roses revitalised rock with a new edgy raw energetic vibe as the band became a worldwide rock phenomenon.
Overall Appetite For Destruction is a stunning album delivering sheer quality material that will have you air guitaring throughout the albums duration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best thing to come out of the eighties......,
If rock music did indeed acheive perfection in the late seventies then the eighties were defined by rock music's own self destruction, a time when technology and urges to cross-dress became more important than the purity and power of the music that defined the seventies. Bands such as motley crue, poison, and other hairspray soaked bands from the L.A. scene ruled the heavy rock scene. So Guns n' Roses entered the scene in 1987 causing a storm and proving to be one of the fastest selling rock albums of all time. However at first glance they seem just like any band of the time, albeit slightly more rough and sleazy. The music though is completely uncharacteristic, a mix of off-the-rails heavy blues and anthemic power rock, a combination of the rolling stones, led zepelin and the sex pistols. Quite simply every song on the album is brilliant so to name the best would be doing the others a misjustice. They stand as frank and sometimes brutal acounts of their rock and roll lifestyles, sometimes ironic, occaisionaly soft and reminisant. Held together by powerful drumming of steven adler, laid back tones of Stradlin, aggresive bass from Mckeggan and topped off by the best lead guitar in a decade from Slash and the now iconic wailing from Rose. This is the sound of a band who would go on to become the biggest band in the world before their untimely self destructive demise in 96.

This album along with Hendrix's 'are you experianced?' is definitly one of the albums that changed my life.
i'm going to have to buy a new copy of appeite for destruction beccause mine has become so tatterd from using it so much.
After about a month of listening to it i started to find myself not just singing along with the lyrics but the solos, it's that good!
An essential purchase for anyone who loves music. The effect it has had upon rock music can still be heard, over 19 years later. An all time classic and groudbreaking album, up there with, Led Zeppelin 1, Are you Experianced?, Nevermind, Back In Black, Paranoid. I can go on for ever. Just Buy It. It's worth it!!

carlosnightman "carlosnightman" (A Seat) - See all my reviews
Three decades later and Appetite For Destruction still sounds as fresh, daring, vibrant, and exciting as it did when it was first unleashed upon the world. Say what you like about what Guns and Axl have become but there remains something eternal about their first album. With each new generation of kids, it is this album which they are inevitably drawn to when they want their rebellious kick or taste of anger for the day, this is the album which young guitarists dream of, and the album which aspiring rock stars hope to emulate. Wiping away the poodle rock of the decade, grabbing MTV and the charts by the throat and shaking them within an inch of their lives, it takes a snarling look at 80s America- the excess, the paranoia, the sleeze, and how The American Dream had become something dirty but still attainable for ambitious young kids who knew how to get it. It's rare that an album comes along where every song is a classic- this almost achieves that and those songs which narrowly miss out are still screaming tunes of excellence which would stand out on any number of other bands' albums. Anrgy, raw, confident, with one foot in the gutter and the other in the heavens, Appetite For Destruction is a must for everyone.
`Welcome To The Jungle' opens the album with as instantly recognizable an introduction as your every likely to find. From the first 30 seconds we know most of what we will need to- Axl's screech, the teaming of Izzy's riffs and Slash's uncontrollable talent before the main guitars and vocals crash in. Axl sings a tale of a small town guy landing in LA and having to swim through the grime to prevent drowning in the mud. Everything is sleazy, sexy, and angry, though performed as if they are Lords of it all. The weaving tunes are inventive, shaking up the usual verse chorus format, and the guitar solos are the sort every young musician wishes they had written. The growling grows, the music grows more chaotic, and everything is memorable fist pumping but without the cheese. This is one of the all time great openers.
`It's So Easy' begins with a repetitive and hypnotic bass before Axl's vocals take a dip. This time he sings of how the small town man can succeed so easily with a little bit of experience- you can get everything if you know how. Axl turns this on its head by showing that the ease with which these things are accomplished quickly cheapens them, and soon everything appears shallow and worthless. Masochistic in parts, oddly tender in others, the guitars are once again crushing presenting us again with more classic riffs and solos. Axl's trademark screech soon breaks out, Steven's drums thrust everything forwards, and it all builds towards a big rock climax.
`Nightrain' is the band's love song to beer, and to night's out in a city which will swallow you if you aren't prepared. This usually opens live shows and is a fast paced, fuel injected mess of frantic guitars and yelling vocals. A fan favourite this nevertheless seems to be less well known as the big singles, unfortunate as this is the band at their defiant, vicious, and humourous best. Huge choruses and catchy verses melded with some of the best guitar twiddling you'll ever find propel this from start to finish.
`Out Ta Get Me' continues the stadium filling anthems with it's gargantuan 80s drums pumping us along. Axl sings of defiance from the law, from those who hate him, from those who love him. This is one big finger up to authority, and to anyone who ever dares question him. Although many have since seen Axl's ego become bloated and self interested, at the time no-one would have challenged the motivation and drive he shows here. Slash knocks another one out of the park with a big blues solo with metal and punk stylings, growing and shifting, fading and returning between chorus and verse. Everything races towards the finish line with a sly grin and a boot in the face of its competitors.
`Mr Brownstone' starts with another classic swirling riff or two before Axl joins in with lyrics about fame, excess, and primarily drugs. The punk and blues swagger is showcased here, the Stones influence given an added metal punch. Wah wah solos and groovy drums ensure this one is a big hitter in the rock bars and clubs, and usually fills the dance floor with swirling hair and shaking booty. The tale of drugs, addiction, and dependence was something which the band knew plenty about with most if not all having some sort of reliance, breakdown, and near death experience with the stuff.
`Paradise City' remains probably the greatest head banging song of all time; there is just something about the beat, the timing, and the feel of the drums which suits nodding your head up and down in a suicidal rhythm perfectly- you just can't help but jump around buck nuts to this. Axl again sings of the American dream in this beast of an anthem- this is as much an American national anthem as Born In The USA or The Stars And Stripes- the flags may be waving, but they're ripped, torn, and bloody. There are plenty of blues solo moments throughout the first few parts of the song, Slash and Izzy causing havoc by never repeating the same note or riff, but it is the last few charging minutes of glorious chaos which mark this as outstanding. Everything after `take me home' is shameless rock `n' roll brilliance, full throttle galloping, insane playing, and frenetic speed with no time to take a breath. And the vocals are pure fist pumping, sing along gold.
`My Michelle' thankfully slows things down for a few moments- a tongue in cheek love song of sorts, a dedication to all the starlovers and dreamers who move to the city with hopes of something better but get dragged down by drugs and prostitution just to get by. No punches are pulled in the lyrics with Axl taking snapshots of the worst parts of town, the darkest alleys, the dankest corners, while once again the guitars are kings. Chunky riffs with a groovy twist are the seedy heart of the song, while the person or people that the song is about should take heart that they have a champion.
`Think About You' has steadily become my favourite song on the album. It's the one everyone forgets, it was never a single, and it's never played live. Maybe it's a favourite because when I was younger I loved the other songs so much and any time you hear anything on the radio or TV it's one of the big songs. Those songs have somewhat lost their appeal and impact, but this one is great every time. It is, like Sweet Child, one of the lighter moments on the album but unlike that epic this dispenses with the mammoth solos and exuberance and instead gets straight to the point. It is quick, packed with feeling, and on top of it all has some truly great melodies. Naturally it is done with a slick and sick dose of humour and sexual imagery if you're filthy enough to pick up on it.
`Sweet Child O Mine' is the big one- the one everyone knows and loves; the one people can name even if they can't name any other song by the band. Beginning with one of the most famous guitar parts of all time it has all the classic Guns trademarks- Axl's harsh vocals traversing big melodies, soulful and electrifying solos, and lyrics which never shy away from the truth. Along with the video we see the tender side of the band- they may be dangerous, but they're still human, and most of the danger was pantomime anyway. The song and video drips of cool, from Slash's rarely seen face under a mop of curls, the cigarettes, the JD, Axl's dancing, and the sheer confidence and style of it all- while all the other 80s bands looked like they were sweating for attention, GNR simply stood they and played, and everything worked effortlessly.
`You're Crazy' on this album is the faster version, better than the one which appears on Lies. It's up tempo, with the usual mix of vicious lyrics and crashing guitars but it lacks some of the melodic quality of the other songs. It lacks anything truly memorable, but is still a great 80s rock song. The energy on display is top notch and there is no sign of any reserve or calming.
`Anything Goes' is the only song that I feel could be dropped from the album- I don't have anything against the lyrics, they're just a bit silly and add to the band's mythos, the music is ok- it just isn't up to the goodness of everything else. Something like Move To The City or Used To Love Her would have worked better, and as such this is the one song I would usually skip. The song has some funky guitar parts and is worth a giggle or two, but doesn't have the 5 star quality of everything else.
`Rocket Queen' gets things back on track, an immortal album closer and epic in every sense. All the themes from the album are condensed into the final track, as well as the emotional battles in the band moving from angry, bitter, and sarcastic, to hopeful, affectionate, and loving. Slash lets rip for one final time giving us note after note of genius, while Axl tears out his throat and sets fire to his lungs as he manoevers his own words and music. Everyone shines, from drums and bass, to the slide guitar, up to Axl, and it could be said that this was the last moment of coherence in the band. After this people began to leave, collapse, argue, leaving the pieces to be squished together for UYI. A brilliant ending to one of the best albums ever.
The 80s was the decade when the greatest moments of hard rock and metal were produced, and this stands tall above the rest. Taking their influence from the hedonistic bands of the 70s, mixing in a punk attitude, and adding the guitars of NWOBHM and American metal that was growing in popularity, Axl and Co created a monster which they would struggle to recover from. While there were neverending buckets of dross in the genre and much critical giggling directed its way, Appetite walk to the front of the crowd and declares itself as a work of art, and one which critics could not fail to notice and admire. It showcases one of those rare moments in music, in art, where everyone involved suddenly steps onto the same wavelength causing everything they do to gel into perfection. You already have it, so why are you listening to me?

5.0 out of 5 stars Best. Album. Ever.,
By A Customer
This is easily the best album I have ever listened to. Every single song is verging on perfect. There is not one track that lets it down.
The best song is definately Nightrain, which is absolutely amazing! Other great songs on it are Welcome to the Jungle, Rocket Queen, Paradise city, My Michelle, Sweet Child of Mine, and Mr Brownstone. But they're all fantastic!
Oh, and if you're a guitarist like me then it's worth getting just for the chance to listen to Slash, who is brilliant on it!
Damn, I'm not really sure what else to say. Erm, just buy it, I guess. Yeah, that does the trick. You'll thank me later.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best,
Mike Cormack (Aberdeen UK) - See all my reviews
I'd give this album twenty stars if I could, it's that important to me.
With the ubiquity of music TV these days, it's actually quite hard to remember that heavy metal was hard to get a hold of in the late 80s. Pop and dance ruled the airwaves, you only had TOTP, The Chart Show and The Tube (I hadn't heard of Later, or The Old Grey Whistle Test; was but a nipper in those days). I hadn't even heard of MTV - that was an American thing. But one day a music shop opened in my little hometown, which showed MTV, and that's where I first heard and saw "Paradise City" and "Sweet Child O' Mine". A real epiphany; nothing was the same for me ever again, after getting in in 1988 for my 9th birthday. (The only real comparison has been hearing The Beatles' 67-70 album, and "Smell Like Teen Spirit"). I'm 27 now and have never ever tired of it.
GN'R might have lived the life, but musically they knew exactly what they were doing; they knew their musical history, and had a breadth of taste which "Appetite" only hinted at. Their forebears were, as they well knew, were Aerosmith, so much so that they explored Aerosmith's own influences, so that they are far more than 'Smith ripoffs, even on their first album.
GN'R were melded together in the deperate struggle for recognition and success that was the LA rock scene. Then dominated by Motley Crue and lesser bands like WASP and Ratt, GN'R came along and blew them away. Where Motley Crue had acheived success by having a crossover appeal (covering "Helter Skelter", a Beatles song, even on their heaviest album, "Shout At The Devil"), GN'R did it by tapping into an older, heavier tradition. They weren't pop-rock, they were hard-rock - much more visceral, with punk-rock's attitude, rock music's musicanship and with a live show of extraordinary magnetism.
"Appetite" is their purest statement. "Paradise City" is a metaphor for their ambition to be the biggest band in the world - "Take me down to the paradise city". "Sweet Child O' Mine" might have been their crossover moment, but rather than being a schmaltzy soft-rock anthem (as Poison etc had managed), it's a yearning, tender opener which modulates to a storming finale, with I think the most hair-raising guitar solo eve recorded. "It's So Easy" is the ultimate expression of young-man arrogance and testosterone, with Axl singing at the bottom of his range and the riff exploding out at you like a Molotov Cocktail of belligerent intent. "Nightrain", a song about a cheap tonic wine (like Buckfast) tells you about their days - "Said I'm a mean machine, been drinking gasoline and honey you can make my motor hum". "Rocket Queen" is a superb closer, starting with a brilliantly sleazy riff (and supposedly verite sounds in the middle), but ending on a storming, rousing, optimistic closer.
Axl sings brilliantly throughout, Slash's solos are magnificent, Duff's bass sounds much better than on "Use Your Illusion" - but the songs are never dominated by one band-member as they are on UYI. It's always a coherent, band album. It's the greatest metal album I know, and I've been into metal ever since I got this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Changed my life!,
I remember in the late 80's when this album exploded into my life. The first time I heard Slash's riffs, solos and guitar phrasings, I knew I was witnessing something special. It reminded me of the first time I had heard Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour or Eddie Van Halen. It was one of those moments one never ever forgets. When a musicians style just hits you hard, and you feel it. Of course it was not a one man band, Axl, Duff, Izzy and Steven were very talented in their own right. But Slash just blew me away. David Gilmour is my favourite guitarist. But the day I bought "Appetite for destruction" and witnessed the playing from the mysterious man in the top hat, was the day myself as a guitarist was born. This record rubbed off on me that much.
The attitude that is evident in this record is what really grabbed most people by the nuts. It seemed like an eternity since a real hard rock band, who were completely self-destructive had come about. Maybe the last such phenomenon was the Sex Pistols? But that was ten years earlier, more than long enough for the masses. Then this record hit the shelves and changed all that. I hate to promote the bad boy lifestyle, but the fact that Guns N' Roses were so self-destructive and mean, only added to the extreme excitement of their music. And I'm talking about being truly bad. Not drinking beer in the corner with the thousand yard stare. But actually carrying out acts of carnage and destruction. Of course I'll give a quick salute to Motley Crue, but otherwise what other bands were really genuinely living like animals at the end of the 80's?
"Welcome to the jungle" openly demonstrates Hollywood is not all glitz and glamour, and in fact you'll most likely get swallowed up. Only the strong survive. This song is worth a listen alone for the climax where Axl begins to squeal and moan. "It's so easy" is kind of like a punk/sleaze rock hybrid, and is one of the songs that truly reflects this band. The atmosphere is rabid and uncomfortable. "Nightrain" is an absolute barnstormer and has so many memorable riffs and leads. I found it quite annoying that Slash is playing a really interesting solo when the song begins to fade out.
"Mr Brownstone" has a very infectious riff and chorus, and is supposedly a stark warning about the dangers of heroin. Of course "Paradise city" is one of the greatest feel good rock anthems, even though most people overlook the cynical lyrics. But who could fail to be moved when the song transcends into madness, and the guitar solo that unrelentlessly goes on and on, the listener feels like they're being pulled into a vortex of rock and roll mayhem. "Think about you" has some interesting acoustic work under the molten hot rock licks...new listeners look out for that. "Sweet child o' mine" obviously helped catapult this band into the stratosphere along with "..Jungle" and "Paradise City". The final track "Rocket queen" definitely deserves a quick shout out, because it really is amazing. It slowly winds along getting into the groove, and once it does it doesn't let up...but then the song kind of goes into a jam, when the orgasmic moans and groans of a women can be heard. (The story behind that is hilarious, for those who know!), then the song eventually winds down into a somber ballad, Axl suddenly going at it from a much more sensitive angle.
All the songs are killer, I wish I had the time to describe them all in minute detail, but sadly I do not. If you're new to rock buy this for sure. If you're not new to rock but always gave this album a miss, go in with fresh ears I guarantee you wont regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars needs no title,
There have got to be countless reviews of this album, and I find it hard to contemplate that any of them are bad... I'm not about to break the trend, but will simply repeat and reitrate the greatness of the rock music that is appetite for destruction. I loved it as soon as I heard it, it has not been out of my stereo for longer than a week since I first burned a copy of it, and since I got an MP3 player it hasnt been out of my ears for more than a day!
I'm not about to offer any constructive criticism here, I'm probably biased and my opinion is worthless but for what it's worth I think the only bad point about this album that Axl sings so goddamn high I have trouble keeping in the same octave as him... and I'm a girl as well! So much to the aural discomfort of my friends I wail along to every one of the tracks on a regular basis. Although 'night-train' would probably be my favourite if I am forced to choose one, this album is just packed full of killer tunes... from the power ballad of 'think about you' to the ones everyone knows, the undisputed classics 'paradise city', 'welcome to the jungle' and 'sweet child...' you have simply got to buy this album. If you cant buy it, burn a copy off a friend. If you have no friends with decent taste in music, or no CD rewriter then download it. If you aint got the worldwideweb, or even no computer then I pity you in that you might never experience the liquid pleasure that is slash's fretmanship, and the raw power of rock n roll that is: APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Album Guaranteed To Please,
During the apparent onslaught of the LA hair metal scene in the mid to late 80s (bands like Poison and Motley Crue), one band was formed in 1985 in Los Angeles by two desperate musicians - Axl Rose and Tracii Guns, who decided that it was time for the age of big hair, glitter and makeup to come to an end. And Guns N' Roses did just that. Though Tracii left to form his own band, LA Guns, Axl stayed behind and recruited four talented musicians: guitarists Izzy Stradlin and Slash, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Steven Adler. Together, these four, along with Axl Rose, literally shoved aside hair metal with the release of their first major label debut Appetite For Destruction and started to bring the "true" metal back to the mainstream. Within a year of its release, it had sold over 25 million copies and went to #1 in the USA. Though they did release a self-produced EP titled Live ?!*@ A Suicide in '86, GNR made rock history with Appetite For Destruction a year later.
Let me start off by saying that every (yes, EVERY) rock fan, from Hendrix to Green Day, needs to own this album. From the gritty sleaze-rock "Welcome to the Jungle" to the trashy headbanger "You're Crazy" to the punk rock "It's So Easy," every song on here is a masterpiece. Though it contains a few fillers ("My Michelle," "Think About You" and "Anything Goes" being the best examples), Appetite For Destruction is one of those CDs that you don't have to skip songs to get to the good ones. Too bad the original band lineup featured on this CD isn't around anymore - now GNR has Axl's whole new set of musicians that just isn't the same. In addition, is it any wonder that Axl can't sing like that anymore. I mean, listen to his vocals on such songs like "Out Ta Get Me," "Paradise City" or "Sweet Child O' Mine." And what about Slash? GNR's new guitarist, Robin Finck (Nine Inch Nails), doesn't play with the same style Slash played with, and doesn't sound like him at all. So I guess that just proves that things just come, go and pass and you should enjoy them while you can. My point here is that Appetite For Destruction is one of THE GREATEST ALBUMS EVER RECORDED and that one like this comes along once in a great while.
But boy am I glad I bought this album when I did. But like most people, the only songs I heard from this album before I purchased it were the three hits that brought GNR to fame worldwide: "Welcome to the Jungle," "Paradise City" and "Sweet Child O' Mine" (sadly the only ones from this album to make it to Guns N' Roses's Greatest Hits CD). But the remaining tracks are NOT to be ignored. Don't get me wrong, those 3 are great - "Paradise City" probably being the best out of the 3 - but the highlights as far as I'm concerned would have to be "Out Ta Get Me," a rebellious, mean, 4-minute explosion that features some of Axl's best growls and snarls; "Mr. Brownstone," one of the songs that could have made it to GNR's Greatest Hits without complaint from anyone; the sadly underrated "You're Crazy," a thrashy tune that will get you "air guitar"-ing in no time flat; and the album closer "Rocket Queen," a great and catchy tune that starts off really grungy but eventually transforms into a great hard rock anthem. So if you can't afford the entire album, buy those 4. And if those alone won't do it for you, purchase also "Nightrain," another great hard rock headbanger.
Guns N' Roses's 1987 release Appetite For Destruction. Absolutely incredible. Amazing, superb, fantastic, any other postive adjective that you can think of will perfectly describe the astonishingly great music of this album. It will blow anyone away, from the most die-hard hard rock/metal fan to a guy who's never bought a rock album in his life. You know occasionally along comes an album that never gets old no matter how many times you listen to it (other examples being Def Leppard's Hysteria, Led Zeppelin's IV and Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime)? Well if Appetite For Destruction isn't on your list then you are missing out on something that nothing ever has, can or will replace as one of the greatest rock albums of all time. No joke.

The Family Game (game show)
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (June 2009)
|The Family Game
|Created by
|Chuck Barris
|Presented by
|Bob Barker
|Narrated by
|Scott Beach
|Country of origin
|United States
|Running time
|30 Minutes
|Production company(s)
|Chuck Barris Productions
|Original channel
|Original release
|June 19, 1967 – December 29, 1967
The Family Game was a game show that ran on ABC for six months in 1967. Geoff Edwards was originally to host the (unrecorded) pilot, but was dropped at the last minute and was replaced by producer Chuck Barris. Although ABC bought the series, they mandated that someone other than Barris be the host; Bob Barker, then hosting Truth or Consequences, was selected without a screen test or pilot.
The Family Game was played similar to Barris' more popular ABC game show The Newlywed Game, except that instead of four married couples there were three families (each consisting of two children and their parents).
The series is notable for being the last new black-and-white network series to air in America prior to the nationwide switch to color in 1968.
The Family Game had parents and their children aged 6–11 years old trying to predict and match answers to a series of questions, similar to Newlywed.
Round 1[edit]
In Round 1, the younger children were asked three questions while their parents were off stage. The parents returned and the mothers responded to the same questions. Their teams scored 10 points for each answer they matched.
Round 2[edit]
In Round 2, the parents again left the stage and the older children answered four questions. The first three were worth 15 points, while the last was a "bonus" worth 25 points. When the parents returned, the father tried to match answers to the first three questions and both parents responded to the 25-point bonus question.
The family with the most points won the game and a grand prize. If there was a tie, it was broken in the same manner as on The Newlywed Game. Before the show, each family was asked to predict how many points they would score. The one closest to their actual score without going over was declared the winner.
Episode status[edit]
The Family Game is believed to have been erased ("wiped") due to network practices. Only two episodes are known to exist.

Frost Super Seal A/C Leak Repair - 4oz Can$14.99
Super Seal is for home and industrial applications to be used with R22, 502 & R410a Systems. It repairs leaks in evaporators, condensors, copper lines and solder joints. This product is an epoxy that reacts to water and air. When coming in contact with the atmosphere, it forms a seal over the leak. If your system stays charged for one day when running, this product will fix most leaks that you may encounter.
If there is air and water in your system, pull a deep vac on the system and boil moisture out of the system.
In most cases, if a system has not leaked below 15 psi, there is typically not air or moisture in the system. The system has greater pressure than what the atmospheric pressure is and cannot leak unless the system is below 15 degrees.
Note: A/C unit must be in operational condition and running before Super Seal can be installed.
- Install the can to the can tap (raise piercing valve so it does NOT pierce can)
- Connect the other end to your A/C unit (low pressure port -- big line)
- Turn on your A/C unit
- Pierce the can. Open the valve slowly with the can upside down. (Valve not included)
- When the can is empty, change the can and continue charging with refrigerant until you reach the manufacturer's pressure specs.

Johnsen's R134a Air Conditioning Refrigerant 12 Oz Cans - 12 PACK$54.99
12 PACK of Cans
Application Temperature Range
R-134a performance suffers at lower evaporator temperatures. In general it is not applied at temperatures below -10F, and it is not necessarily the most economical overall choice in some other applications. Traditional R-12 type applications have adopted several products as alternatives, including R-134a, R-22, R-404A/R-507, and numerousretrofit blends.
R-134a requires polyol ester (POE) lubricants, primarily for their ability to mix with HFC refrigerants. Traditional mineral oils and alkylbenzene do not mix with HFCs and will cause compressor failures. In addition, automotive air conditioning systems may also use polyalkaline glycol (PAG) lubricants (not typically seen in stationary equipment). Both POEs and PAGs will absorb moisture, and hold onto it, to a much greater extent than traditional lubricants. The moisture will promote reactions in the lubricant as well as the usual problems associated with water (corrosion, acid formation, etc.). The best way to dry a wet HFC system is to use a filter drier - run the system and change the drier - instead of relying on evacuation to clear the water.
Retrofitting Considerations
Equipment built for R-12 will be sized a bit too small compared to equipment built for R-134a. In order to do the same job an R-134a system will need a larger compressor and larger heat exchangers. As a result a system which is retrofit from R-12 to R-134a will have lower capacity (run longer) and will probably develop higher head pressures (not enough condenser area). The lubricant will also need to be flushed and replaced with POE (residual mineral oil content less than 5%).

Joe was very humble about his accomplishments and contributions. When asked to explain how he had become so successful, he attributed it to his many very bright and hardworking graduate and postdoctoral students who "did the real work" and to his wife, Essie McCutcheon Smith, whose flexibility allowed him the freedom to pursue his teaching and research. With respect to Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics, as noted above, Joe thought that he was simply in the right place at the right time. Could it be that some people are able to define the right place and the right time?
Joe and his wife endowed the Joe and Essie Smith Chair in Chemical Engineering in 1996 at UC Davis. The chair is dedicated to the support of outstanding young faculty members.
Joe is survived by his two daughters, Rebecca Conrad and Marsha Torbert; six grandchildren; one great-grandchild; and an untold number of academic children and grandchildren.

From the PublisherAdvance praise: "Through wise selection of themes, and broad recruitment of contributors, Vickers has produced the best single-volume introduction available to the family of Methodist churches in North America. The volume traces both the growth of the movement transplanted from England and its proliferation into multiple strands – ranging from the earliest distinct African-American churches, through the Holiness-focused churches, and beyond. Highly recommended!" — Randy L. Maddox, Duke Divinity School
"This is a wonderfully useful guide for navigating the broad history of American Methodism. Its strength is its multilayered approach. Together these deeply informed essays connect Methodism to some of the most important developments in American culture and society over the past 250 years." — John Wigger, author of American Saint and Taking Heaven by Storm

19 Jun OP-ED: Using Fashion to Promote Global Issues
by ATFDC Contributor Kelsi Zimmerman
It started out as all companies wanting to "Go Green" on behalf saving the world from global warming. Then everyone wanted to wear pink for Breast Cancer Awareness, where proceeds from collections of pink items would go to the Susan G. Komen foundation. All aspects of the retail market were joining in. Whether it was the NFL Shop selling pink gear or purified drinking water brands claiming their packaging was the most eco-friendly containing the least plastic- the marketing tactic to persuade consumers that their company is the most in touch with the problems of the world to gain a competitive advantage is a craze being used by all sorts of retailers.
Now, the fashion industry, at the local and national levels, is really starting to take this marketing tactic and run with it, or should we say design with it. H&M alone has their "Conscious Collection"-a line whose garments', season after season are made up of sustainable materials. The mass-market retail store also introduced their "Fashion Against AIDS" line, whose garments are inspired this season by tribal patterns. H&M partnered uop with international artists and illustrators to create a custom clothing collection to raise money and bring awareness to the worldwide HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Other fashion retailers who have decided to join the support of global issues trend include, The GAP who carries the INSPI(RED) logo on various garments to raise money for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, founded by humanitarian and U2 singer himself; Bono. Another popular example is footwear brand TOMs. With every purchase of a pair of TOM'S, a pair will be donated to a less fortunate child in Africa.
This movement within the fashion industry to support global issues is even being strongly implemented at the local fashion industry level. Washington, DC is home to the charitable organization Fashion Fights Poverty, whose mission is to alleviate poverty through trade, skill building and community empowerment through the fashion, textiles and design industries. FFP held their annual gala this past March, and will host a special night of shopping at Sheyla's Boutique of Georgetown tomorrow, Jun.20.
A 21 year old Maryland Native and Senior Fashion Merchandising major at Stevenson University fashion has consumed Kelsi's life from a young age and continues to as she travels to experience the fashion scenes from various cities across the world. Kelsi is thrilled to be back in the DMV and help bring to light the rising fashion scene right here in DC.

The Pirates were grounded Wednesday. They found themselves lift-less against Ian Kennedy, a fly-ball pitcher.
At least for a day, Kennedy bucked that reputation. His fourth start at home at Petco Park was his best. He struck out eight in seven shutout innings to steer the Padres to a 2-1 victory over Pittsburgh.
It was the first time in 25 starts this season that Kennedy did not allow a run. The eight strikeouts tied his season high. Huston Street recorded his 24th save with his 11th consecutive scoreless outing.
Kennedy entered the game with a 0.65 ground ball-to-fly ball ratio, the lowest in the Padres' rotation. He was coming off his worst start for San Diego. Five days earlier, the Mets had gone airborne against him. He surrendered three home runs and five runs in an abbreviated outing at Petco Park, a friendly venue for fly-ball pitchers.
Wednesday, Kennedy didn't need the help. He yielded his first fly ball in the sixth, when Felix Pie flied out to right.
Kennedy induced 11 groundouts. And just the one flyout to Pie.
"It was a change-up up (in the strike zone)," Kennedy said. "If it was good, it would've been down."
Just about everything else Kennedy threw was good.
"For Ian today, the key was fastball command, painted strikes and a much better change after about the 15th pitch," Padres manager Bud Black said. "And the slider and the curve. He had a four-pitch mix working."
Kennedy labored in only one inning, the first. He threw 24 pitches, gave up two singles and issued a pair of walks. The Pirates loaded the bases with two outs, but Kennedy struck out Garrett Jones to escape the jam.
The right-hander retired 13 of the next 14 batters. The lone blemish in that stretch was a walk to National League MVP candidate Andrew McCutchen.
Kennedy finished with 108 pitches, 70 of them strikes. He allowed only four hits and three walks.
"I was throwing everything for strikes," Kennedy said. "Later in the game, I felt better with my curveball. My fastball command was down. With the fastball down, everything else works."
In four starts since joining San Diego, Kennedy is 2-1 with a 3.20 ERA. He was acquired July 31 from Arizona for lefty specialist Joe Thatcher.
"As soon as he gets the first strike, it's pretty much game over," first baseman Yonder Alonso said. "He's pounding the zone, he was down in the zone. We expect that from him. We've seen that in Arizona, and now we're seeing it here."
Kennedy's offense chipped away at Gerrit Cole, the first overall pick in the 2011 draft. Will Venable scored on Alonso's sacrifice fly to give the Padres a 1-0 lead in the third. Alonso's RBI single drove in Chris Denorfia to make it 2-0 in the fifth.
The Padres finished with 11 hits, all singles except for two doubles. They'd mustered just six hits in Tuesday's 8-1 rout at the hands of Pirates starter A.J. Burnett.

SD: No. 1 place to relocate
Planners said desirable cities need to prepare for influx of newcomers
San Diego is America's Favorite City.
According to a new survey issued this week by the American Planning Association, San Diego is the top choice to relocate.
The Harris Poll asked 1,040 adults, aged 21-65 with at least two years of college education, which top three metro areas interest them as a potential location.
Twenty-three percent listed San Diego, followed by New York City, Boston, Denver and San Francisco. For active boomers, San Diego was also No. 1 and for Millennials, it ranked third behind New York and Los Angeles.
Economics was at the heart of the study, released Wednesday, at the planners' national convention in Atlanta. Respondents said housing costs and the general cost of living play a strong role in where to move to.
But it's no surprise that the top cities, including San Diego have the highest housing costs because they are in the most demand, according to the planning group's president, Bill Anderson, the former San Diego city planning director who remains based here in a consulting job.
"If it was the just the price of housing, Mississippi would be the strongest economy in the country," Anderson said.
But he offered various ways to reduce San Diego prices, such as building more townhouses near transit, shopping and workplaces. He also said better education is important to people considering moving elsewhere.
"We're a work in progress," he said. "We've got to keep at it because other cities are trying to position themselves (to attract talent)," Anderson said.
Kelly Cunningham at the National University System Institute for Policy Research said more Boomers and Millennials moved here between 2008 and 2013, Generation Xers, aged 30-44, moved away, declining 7.3 percent over the same period.
"First-time home buyers are most likely to be Gen Xers, who apparently are moving away and taking their children with them to places they can afford a home to raise their kids in," Cunningham said.
Among the findings, the survey said investing in company relocations is not as effective as investing in local amenities when it comes to growing its talent base.
Mark Cafferty, CEO of the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp., which traditionally tried to lure companies here, said the pitch increasingly must be to sell both San Diego's natural attractions and its leading-edge business base.
"Here you can retire or build a career," he said.
He was seconded by Jason Jordan, the planning association's policy director: "I think San Diego is a perfect example when you think of biotech sectors and some industries that have taken hold. There are reasons they want to be in that place. That's part of the strategy."
San Diego Mayor Faulconer said in a statement that he was not surprised San Diego is popular, but he said the area also should be touted for its startups, craft beer and defense industries, as well as high-tech and tourism. He recognized that economic issues remain at the forefront.
"One of my top priorities as mayor is to create good-paying jobs and economic opportunities to get more of America's talent to call San Diego home," Faulconer said in a statement.

Press swarmed the tale of four "professionals"as one radio broadcast described the law student and her friendswho hung an anti-Bush banner down the front of the Plaza Hotel. But in less posh surroundings, a more radical banner fluttering from the Chinatown side of the Manhattan Bridge received nearly no notice.
"No Blood for Oil, No War for Empire," read the bold, black Chinese characters neatly painted above the more angrily scrawled "No to RNC & Bush" that glared in red English. (See photos of the adorned bridge here.)
Student members of a local grassroots organization, Chinatown Justice Project, staged street theater in nearby Confucius Plaza, big Bush mask and all. But while the activists enjoyed the spectacle of the banner along with crowds of passers-by, they told the Voice they could not rightly claim credit for the gutsy action. Dissent in Chinatown, it seemed, could come from as many diverse quarters as in the rest of the city.
Community members reported that police soon showed up to quell the theatrical protest. But, perhaps in keeping with the neglect of the area, an NYPD spokesperson denied not only the police reaction but also the very fact that a protest had even occurred or that a banner had waved.

Most people have a vague idea that sado-masochism (or as it is sometimes written, sadomasochism or sado/masochism) is named for two people; one of them into inflicting pain (sadism) and one of them into having pain inflicted (masochism). These two men are The Marquis de Sade, born in 1740 and author of many erotic writings including, most famously, Justine, about a man who enjoys inflicting pain upon his mistress. Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, born in 1880, also wrote erotic stories, the most famous of which was called Venus in Furs in which he describes being whipped by a woman while grovelling at her feet dressed in furs like a dog.
The pleasure/pain dyad was certainly not unknown before this however; as far back as the Middle Ages, many Christian people flogged themselves as punishment during the plague. These "flagellants" took the Black Death to be a sign from God that the end of the world was near. They would process through the streets of towns, beating themselves with chains, rods and sticks, and scourging their flesh. They thought they could atone for their sins through pain, and be spared death by plague, or at the very least, gain God's forgiveness before death in this way. Regardless of whether these flagellants felt sexual pleasure in this pain (and no doubt some of them did), they did take pleasure in the way their self-inflicted pain brought them closer to God.
