Terre Siciliane IGT
A wine that expresses the two souls of Sicily: a land of great native grapes like Nero d'Avola, but also a land where successfully grow international varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Nero d'Avola has a notable fruit component of ripe blackberry, wild strawberry and raspberry that is well integrated with the distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon notes. Cabernet Sauvignon achieves excellent maturity in Sicily and gives the blend both aromas of currants and red fruit, as well as, structure and body that give longevity and depth to the final wine. The evolved aromatic notes come from the long but thoughtful aging in barriques. Aging in barriques grants this wine evolved aromatic notes of liquorice, tobacco and plum with a light touch of vanilla. These rich elements give dimension to this wine's quality.
Grapes: 80% Nero d'Avola, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Nero d'Avola: Harvested in the second week of September, fermented using selected yeasts at 24-25°C for 14-16 days, malolactic fermentation using selected bacteria, maturation for 12 months in 2 year old French barriques that have light toasting. Cabernet Sauvignon: Harvested in the first week of October, fermentation and maceration using selected yeasts at 26-28°C for 16-18 days, malolactic fermentation with selected bacteria, maturation for 12 months in 3 year old French barriques with medium toasting.
Blend: After maturation in oak, the wines are blended and aged an additional 4 months in barriques to facilitate the fusion of aromas. This is followed by bottling and 8 months of bottle refinement.
Color: Concentrated red with purple reflections.
Bouquet: Intense aromas of blackberry, raspberry and cranberry with hints of liquorice, plum and vanilla.
Flavor: Refined wine of great depth; restrained use of oak adds a layer of complexity to this structured wine.
Pastas with meat sauce, grilled meats, game and aged cheeses; also pairs wells with grilled fish and tuna or swordfish steaks.

Dynamix sends two to D-Day in South Africa
Have you ever wondered how top speedball players would fare in scenario events? Craig Marley and Chris England from South Africa's top team, Dynamix, recently put aside their C12 outfits and picked up Dye Tactical gear for the D-Day Scenario hosted by U-Tac Paintball in Cape Town, South Africa. Marley gives us his perspective of the event:
As a player of Dynamix, one of South Africa's best speedball teams, I never thought I would find myself at U-Tac Paintball in South Africa playing in one of the biggest scenario events in the country… D-Day. Fellow Dynamix player, Chris England and I got an amazing Dye Tactical set up and joined the Allies to take down the Axis!
The event had an amazing turnout of over 350 players from all over the country! Being two of the top speedball players in the country, we thought we would do really well. We were wrong. Running through and diving into the sandy trenches of the high standard Bladed & Triggers battleground was anything but easy and the field provided plenty of towers and bunkers for the stubborn Axis to camp in. Smoke grenades were flying all over the place, paint grenades splattering everything in sight and an onslaught of paintballs continuously flying our way made it feel like a real war! Chris and I were assigned as heavy gunners so we put our DM12s in uncapped PSP mode and laid down cover fire for our troops advancing up the beach. Both sides were exhausted after such a grueling day of paintball, however by a narrow margin the Allies emerged victorious!
We would like to thank Blades & Triggers along with U-Tac Paintball for hosting the amazing event. Thank you to Dye Tactical for providing us with some of paintball's most awesome tactical gear. You can look forward to Dynamix participating in the event again next year!

I'm 27 - I needs a new job (digital is kicking projectionists arses) and am struggling to work out what to do.
My goal is to be an author, but can't motivate myself to write because I always find better things to do online (you guys!), or watching films.
I have my 2.1 degree in Film Studies but have no idea what to do with it. I've thought about journalsim, but have no experience and don't have the money to volunteer work.
My partner is understandably frustrated about my dithering in this matter!
Anyone got any stories/ideas for me?

Over the decades Molton Brown has built up a reputation for being London's bath, body and beauty connoisseurs. Their perfumes, shower gels, body lotions, candles and hand care products blend exotic ingredients with a touch of London eccentricity for bold fragrances and bright colors that stand out on the shelf. You'll now find Molton Brown in five-star hotels, stylish homes and high-end department stores across the world and yet, each product is still blended in London, their home since 1973.

When a child is abducted, time is of the essence.
Law enforcers need an accurate photo and physical description of an abducted child to conduct a search correctly, and the sooner they have it, the better. But JuliAnna Wynne knows how difficult and emotional such a situation can be for parents.
"There is not a database for all of our children; there is only the database at The National Center of Missing Children if they are missing, which most people are not aware of," Wynne said. "It is so important to educate (parents ahead of time), so they are always prepared to show all information at the scene, not an hour later when too much time has passed and it is impossible to get on the right track in recovering the child."
For this reason, Wynne became owner of Mississippi's Ident-A-Kid program, and she will make her annual visit to Starkville Academy at 9 a.m. October 11 to offer parents wallet-sized, laminated cards with children's photos, physical descriptions, safety information and digital fingerprints.
The card is similar to a driver's license, Wynne said, and it can be useful not only in the event of abduction but also for other emergencies, travel and governmental and banking issues. The program is optional for SA parents, she said, and the cards are designed for parents to keep with them.
"There are forms that go home (for the parent to fill out) just like with a school picture day, and I am there at the school on the program day to take the child's picture, get their height and weight and also get a scanned fingerprint," Wynne said. "The program is very organized and quick at the school. I always tell parents that bring other children to be there early, beacuse I am usually finished at the school in about two hours. That all depends, too, on how many children bring their forms back."
These cards cost $7 each, Wynne said, with a three-card package available for $12 and five cards available for $15. She said she offers the packages so that parents and other caretakers can all have the cards' information ready and available for each child.
"The FBI and local law enforcement recommend this, as well as updating every year," Wynne said. "That is why I am back every year at the same time."
Wynne said every card also comes with an E-Card, a cellular phone application Ident-A-Kid introduced two years ago. Parents receive this application a week after they receive the physical card from the school, she said, but the application is not perfected yet.
"E-Card does have its faults in our state," Wynne said. "Every cellular phone company will send the E-Card except C Spire. Before ... when they were Cellular South, they did not have the 4G capability. I am hoping by next year that will change, and they will be able to send them out."
Ident-A-Kid is a nationwide franchise, Wynne said, and it has been active for 25 years, with branches in most states. Wynne said she has administered Mississippi's Ident-A-Kid program for the past 12 years, and Starkville Academy has partnered with her every year since the beginning.
"I really enjoy seeing everyone there each year," Wynne said. "I have talked with the public school system a couple of times, but it was hard to get the program started, and to be honest, I have so many schools wanting the program I have to move on. There (are) not enough days for me in the school year, and I am booked up all year, each year."

Budget surplus (+) or deficit (-): -4% of GDP (2013 est.)
Definition: This entry records the difference between national government revenues and expenditures, expressed as a percent of GDP. A positive (+) number indicates that revenues exceeded expenditures (a budget surplus), while a negative (-) number indicates the reverse (a budge deficit). Normalizing the data, by dividing the budget balance by GDP, enables easy comparisons across countries and indicates whether a national government saves or borrows money. Countries with high budget deficits (relative to their GDPs) generally have more difficulty raising funds to finance expenditures, than those with lower deficits.

Awesome course. Well maintained. Easy fluid layout. Conc tees and nice signs. Pretty busy park with all of the kids playing soccer, but the layout works great with having all the games going on. A little water hazard creek that runs throughout. Just deep enought to wash your disc. Real freindly locals. Highly recommend!

Back in 1972, a man called Roderick paid £8,000 for this yellow car. Admittedly, that was £700 more than the average house price at the time, helped in no small part by his insistence on the fitment of a cassette player with a recording function. And right-hand drive. And air conditioning. But it's still a snip - relative or otherwise - because these days you'll need around £1m to put it in your garage.
Classified ad of the week: Rod Stewart's Lamborghini Miura
Buy a feather-haired rocker's Lambo. You'll need around £1m...
Which is an awful lot of money. But this car is an awful lot of brilliant. If you're a Miura nerd, you'll have already spotted that this one is the super-hot SV (spinto veloce) version (you can tell by the deleted eyelash trims around the lights and swollen wheelarches). That means there's a 390bhp engine lurking in the spaceframe, as well as revised front and rear suspension, which improved handling and accommodated the new nine-inch Campagnolo wheels.
All the upgrades afforded it the title of world's fastest production car when it was introduced in 1971. Trouble was, Lambo decided to announce that it'd started work on the Countach, it's successor, the same year. Even though it was years off production, buyers were willing to wait for the unreleased new model and demand waned.
Which is a terrible shame, because only 150 SVs were made. But it wasn't without its.... idiosyncrasies. The fuel tank, for example. It's mounted over the front wheels so the nose gets light and ever so slightly undriveable when you get low on juice. And, occasionally, the carburettors spit petrol onto the hot engine, which causes it to spontaneously combust. And the interior is tiny. Still, it's pretty impressive considering it was designed and developed by seven twentysomethings working in their spare time.
Rod's is a real end-of-the-liner. It's one of just seven right-hand drive versions, and the 701st of 765 Miuras ever built. In 2004, it left Lambo's Sant'Agata factory after a £120,000 restoration, then earlier this year joined Top Gear on Lamborghini's 50th Anniversary road trip celebration in Italy, after which the owner treated it to a £54,300 engine rebuild. Then it sold at auction last month for £919,900, and now it's up for sale again with POA next to the price box.
The dealer wasn't available for comment, but how much d'you reckon it'll go for?
Now watch Hammond driving JK's one

God I'm so tired of seeing people say Anderson is disrespectful. It's a f/n sport in which you try to knock another guy out and you are worried about taunting? Taunting is part of the god damn sport if you are good enough to do it.

Anderson Silva 5: TRT USERS 0 Hendo - Forrest - Nate - Chael... twice
Weidman: Silva 'realized he couldn't hurt me'
He had felt my power and knew I was way more powerful than him, and he realized he couldnt hurt me with anything he was going to do, Weidman said Tuesday.
I was in there right away trying to finish him, I dont think hes used to that."
I didnt really care where the fight went. I went for a kneebar and knew there was a risk of the guy getting back to his feet if I couldnt finish. I either wanted to submit him on the floor or knock him out.
I threw my forehead on his fists a few times, to let him know I wasnt scared Give me your best shot, Ill eat it."
He was trying to get me to freeze up, make me feel like I didnt belong in the cage with him.
Finally, Weidman ended the antics, concluding, Im coming after you now.
Weidman said he enjoyed a lunch with White Monday that is due to be followed by a substantial financial bonus -- Lets just say Im happy to be part of the UFC, Weidman said.
Weidman said he is likely to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee soon to clear out some bone chips or scar tissue ... thatll only lay me up two weeks, then Ill get back to training.
And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
Anderson is the Sidney Dean of the UFC. Plain and simple
Favorite Fights: Jonny Bones Jones, Wandy, Hendo, Cain, Matt Hughes, Melvin.
Most disliked fighters: Michael Bisping, Spankie Edgar, Alistair Overeem, Anderson Silva, Tim Sylvia, Chuck Liddell
So, because you are competing in a sport where you attempt to knock each other out you can't be respectful of your opponent?
It's not part of the sport. If people want to embrace it as "just part of the sport," then it diminishes the entire institution of martial arts.
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
I used to defend Dana long ago, but he is such a tool, he is impossible to defend now. He has gone on tirades before about how fighters like Calib Starnes, the Diaz brothers, and other various fighters were disrespectful in the ring. But now when Anderson goes and does it and gets caught, its not disrespecting at all. We all know Dana is just trying to cover their asses with the humiliating way Silva got taken out and Dana will do ANYTHING to try and upsell Silva as the best fighter of all time over Fedor.
Favorite Fights: Jonny Bones Jones, Wandy, Hendo, Cain, Matt Hughes, Melvin.
Most disliked fighters: Michael Bisping, Spankie Edgar, Alistair Overeem, Anderson Silva, Tim Sylvia, Chuck Liddell
New UFC champ Chris Weidman talks wild welcome home, strange knocks on the door
"The welcoming home I got was pretty crazy," Weidman told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "My whole house was wrapped up with congratulations stuff. All my neighbors were up at 2 in the morning waiting for me to get home. They didn't even know when I was getting home. There were just hundreds of people that stayed up and were outside, waiting. They were just waiting on their grass at 2 in the morning with signs everywhere and fireworks. That was pretty crazy."
Things got even crazier the next day, when "The All American" received an unexpected knock on his front door.
"Everyone knows where I live now," Weidman said. "Today a kid came to the door, and he was asking me for autographs and T-shirts. That was pretty crazy too."
Such is life these days for Weidman (10-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC), who at this past weekend's UFC 162 event in Las Vegas went from curiously confident contender to budding superstar with a second-round knockout of MMA legend Anderson Silva (33-5 MMA, 16-1UFC). In the days since the July 6 pay-per-view event, he's done countless interviews talking about the historic moment when "The Spider" lost in the octagon for the very first time.
"It's been a little bit of a blur, but it's been good," Weidman said. "It's been a bit surreal. It still hasn't sunk in all the way, but it feels good."
Just how good isn't quite certain, at least from a financial standpoint. His disclosed pay of just $48,000 for the win has earned some criticism, making the payday seem a little meager in comparison to the accomplishment, even with a $50,000 "Knockout of the Night" bonus added to the total.
Of course, discretionary bonuses and pay-per-view shares can greatly impact fighters' total compensation package. UFC President Dana White and CEO Lorenzo Fertitta have also been known to offer up a gift or two following especially memorable accomplishments, and Weidman may have very well benefitted from such an arrangement.
If he did, he's keeping it to himself.
"Uh, let's just say I'm very happy to be part of the UFC," Weidman says with a chuckle. "I'll just leave it at that."
Instead, Weidman will do his best to enjoy the championship win, even as the blur of interviews and appearances continues. When it slows, the New Yorker needs to have some bothersome bone chips removed from his knee, but the scope is only expected to keep him out of the gym for a week or so, and then it's on the the challenge.
"I really have to thank all the supporters and anyone who believed in me," Weidman said. "I wish I could just enjoy it and sit back, but I guess my personality and work ethic and the passion I have about what I do, I'm already thinking about the rematch and preparing myself mentally to beat him again and to even look better."

And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
The institution of martial arts has been irreversibly altered by MMA at this point -- that tradition is long gone. Not every fighter should have to assimilate to be what is deemed perfect. That starry-eyed view is dead. Most people want to see fighters not simply respectful martial artists. Each fighter is a different character. It would be boring as hell if all were like GSP. At some point, modesty becomes fakery.

SEAT unveils the new Ibiza Cupra
The Ibiza now has added sportiness… and triangles
Posted: 05 Nov 2012
The seasons have changed, which means a winter wardrobe is in order. And this year's fashion seems to be triangles. Lots, and lots of triangles. Lamborghini set the trend with its facelifted Gallardo, and now SEAT has added the new trend of tessellation and trigonometry to its new Ibiza Cupra.
We first saw the car as a concept at the Beijing motor show, but now Seat has taken the Concept number plate off... and that's about it.
We predicted that it'd be powered by a 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine and come with a DSG gearbox, and we were right, because this little Cupra gets a turbocharger and a supercharger - as well as direct injection - to kick out 180 PS and 250 Nm of torque.
This means 0-62mph is over in 6.9 seconds, and if you keep your foot in, it'll hit a top speed of 142 mph. If you don't mash the throttle to the floor you should see 47.9 mpg.
As this is the 'Sporty Spice' spec of the Ibiza range, the car has been lowered and is equipped with a trapezoidal exhaust outlet. We're not sure if the triangulation adds any performance (probably not), but we do know that you can press a button to pump more of it's clamor into the cabin. You can also spec some AP brakes if you want to stop a bit quicker, too.
But as this is the top spec model, the Cupra gets climate control, rain-sensing automatic windscreen wipers, bi-xenon headlamps, LED daytime running lights, and 17-inch alloy wheels as standard. SEAT's Portable System - a removable five-inch screen integrated into the vehicle's electronics - also comes with the car and can act as a photoframe so you can look back at those sunny Aiya Napa holiday pictures as you're stuck on the cold, wet M1 in the middle of winter.
The car's due to arrive over here in Blighty in January 2013, priced at £18,825. So if you'd like a sporty, Spanish, triangley hot hatch, you may have to clear your wardrobe and add it to your Christmas list.

Sick of the "staycation"? After a summer at home, many families are itching to get in one last outing without breaking the bank. Fortunately, you can still plan a Labor Day excursion that costs nothing more than a tank of gas and an $8 entry fee. In most regions of the U.S., the beginning of September offers prime bird-watching days as migration season gears up and hundreds of species of colorful songbirds, hawks, and waterfowl start moving south. And most likely, there's a state park or wildlife refuge within a day's drive of your house that serves as a way station on their journeys. We asked David Mehlman, director of the Nature Conservancy's Migratory Bird Program, and Kenn Kaufman, field editor for the Audubon Society's Audubon magazine, for their suggestions.
This park—situated on Key Biscayne, a barrier island off the southern coast of Florida, just south of Miami—is a way station for birds migrating down Florida's east coast. "Birds tend to pause at Key Biscayne," says Kaufman, and "rest up for their long journeys across the ocean." This time of year, you'll see plovers, ruddy turnstones, sanderlings, and willets, and later in the fall, the island teems with birds of every kind. The beaches there have also been ranked among the nation's best, so you can enjoy one last weekend in the sand before heading inland for the summer.
A little over 2 hours north of Minneapolis, Duluth sits on the southern shore of Lake Superior, a hawk-watchers paradise. "Hawks coming south from Canada don't like to cross over the Great Lakes," says Mehlman. "They go around one side or the other, so you get this funnel where they congregate." The observatory estimates that more than 94,000 hawks are seen there every year, some migrating from as far north as the Arctic Circle. Birds start appearing in mid-August, so over Labor Day weekend, you'll likely see American kestrels and sharp-shinned and broad-winged hawks, and maybe even a peregrine falcon or two.
Other great hawk-watching locales are Hawk Mountain in Kempton, Pennsylvania, and almost any natural area along the Texas coastline.
No more than a half a day's drive from most major cities in the Northeast, Cape May has a temperate climate that suits nearly every species of migratory birds, and they linger year-round. "That's a great spot," says Kaufman. Like Duluth, Cape May is situated at a funnel point; birds travel down the eastern seaboard and get to the tip of New Jersey, where they pause for a while to think over their next move. Around this time of year, the observatory, located at the southernmost end of New Jersey, on the Delaware Bay, hosts warblers and other warm-weather songbirds.
Hummingbird lovers may want to delay any travel plans until the weekend after Labor Day, when thousands of ruby-throated hummingbirds descend on this nature center about an hour outside of Memphis. The tiny birds travel thousands of miles from Canada over the Gulf of Mexico to Central America, stopping here to take a rest. The center hosts a "Migration Celebration" each year to tag and document the birds. This year, the festival takes place from September 11 to 13, but show up a week early and you'll still see plenty of hummingbirds.
Mehlman recommends this refuge as a prime place for watching shorebirds, waterfowl, herons, and egrets. Situated between Albuquerque and Las Cruces, the park is best known as a wintering home for sandhill cranes. You likely see many over Labor Day weekend, but return in November for the "Festival of the Cranes," when as many as 14,000 cranes descend on the refuge.
"Block Island has great concentrations of birds, mostly warblers, and it's a beautiful place for biking," says Kaufman. "It's one of my favorite fall spots." Take a 1-hour ferry from the southern shore of mainland Rhode Island or from Long Island, New York, and spend a day taking in the various habitats—grasslands, scrubland, salt and brackish ponds, freshwater wetlands, and beaches—that make the island particularly attractive to birds, especially songbirds, as well as various butterfly species.

History: Social Studies Licensure Track
Candidates who plan to seek licensure in secondary education major in the specialty areas of Comprehensive Science, and Mathematics and minor in Secondary Education. The minor is comprised of a sequence of professional courses and field experiences that prepare candidates for the acquisition of knowledge and skills necessary to teach in secondary schools. The sequence of courses required in the Secondary Education minor also is required for licensure in the secondary education majors of English Education and History Major - Social Studies Licensure Track.
Candidates majoring in these specialty areas who plan to acquire licensure for teaching in secondary schools need to make contact early in their academic careers with School of Education faculty to ensure they are meeting all of the necessary licensure requirements.

Class of 2007.
I have become a Social Studies teacher at Henderson Independent High School in Salisbury and love it! Â I completely don't see how you (Dr. Kruse) and Dr. Thompson do it! I have truly developed an appreciation for all of the classes that I took. Â However, I digress. Â Pfeiffer University was incredibly helpful to me. Â I had the chance to learn a lot of things not only in the classes, but also through all of the extracurricular activities that I participated in.
Alumni Profile: Janet Bennett Deaton
Class of 1996.
I obtained my master's degree in reading from UNCP and was a curriculum specialist for several years, but with the budget cuts, the position was not renewed. I am currently teaching History, Civics and World, at East Montgomery High School. I love history so I am enjoying being back in the classroom.
Alumni Profile: David McGrewSince leaving Pfeiffer I've had several jobs but the job I've held longest (well, almost the longest...) and the one I've enjoyed the most is the one I have now. Since 1993 I've been a licensed tour guide in Washington, DC. Most of my clients are 8th graders and I'm convinced there will be a special place in Heaven for those of us who deal with 14 year olds. In 2005 I was honored by my colleagues as the "Guide of the Year" and in 2008 I earned the designation of Certified Master Guide. Both are bestowed by the Guild of Professional Tour Guides of Washington DC, on whose Board of Directors I have served for 10 of the last 12 years. I am currently co-chair of the CMG program, which is akin to being Dean of Students.
I have absolutely found my "spot." I am where I ought to be. I have incredible historical material to work with and people are actually anxious to learn about their Nation's Capital. I'm starting my 18th year and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else! I wish I could trace all this love of history back to Pfeiffer but it goes back further. I loved it from the beginning. There wasn't one day ever when I was a good student and Gene Earnhart could testify to that. But I know that Drs. Cotton and Earnhart kept the flame alive in me til I was ready -- at mid-life -- to carry the torch.
Welcome to the Department of History and Political Science
The Department of History and Political Science offers a broad spectrum of courses that meet General Education requirements and that guide interested students to degree completion in the following majors: History, Political Science, and Pre-Law. In addition, we offer a Social Studies Track that directs students through the proper sequence of courses required in the state of North Carolina to teach in a public, secondary school.
While the department's majors prepare students well for teacher certification, graduate school, or law school, the majority of the students currently in our programs are not necessarily looking toward those ends. We like to suggest that a major in our department can set a student up to do anything. Our courses stress and support critical and analytical thinking, writing, oral communication, and independent research. Classes reflect the depth and breadth of topics in History and Politics—from general surveys of the United States, Europe, and the World, to more detailed investigations of the social, political, economic, and military realities of our collective past. Major fields are designed so that students have the ability to pursue coursework that fits into their particular interests once they navigate the few required introductory courses.
Our current and former students have had great success presenting papers at regional conferences, taking advantage of local museum internships and the Capital Hill Internship Program in Washington, D.C., and participating in the many international travel opportunities sponsored on campus. These experiences have served them well in their post-graduate lives. Please take time to read some of their stories posted here.

Surfers and boarders get new training option
A new sport called Brush Boarding is hoping to grab the imagination of boarders and surfers looking to train away from the beach and snow.
Created in Devon in the UK, Brush Boarding, according to its creator Kyle Dent, is an X-training activity that can be enjoyed by all ages and abilities.
"Dudes" wanting to hop on, need only to grab a special pair of gloves (to protect their hands) and a board.
Looking like a giant shoe polishing device, hundreds of brushes rotate on a curved ramp allowing the user to experience a constant wave rather than one that lasts a matter of seconds all without getting wet or cold.
"Brush Boarding builds core strength and fitness while improving balance and co-ordination," says Dent.
Although only one device currently exists, the company behind the system is hoping to make more bigger, taller and longer brush systems so boarders can really get "some air".
"Dudes" wanting to have a go can either catch the Brush Boarding team at an event or at their base in Exeter.

They REALLY DO care bout us..as no other band does. They also have to maintain their own lifesyle..and work for their families. This is a job to them as much as they love it.
I have been to many concerts! lols too many to list. i've seen korn about 16 times since 2000. 5 times last year alone..where I went on a KoRn vacation out to Cali and saw them in Vegas and Bako..my MOST SPECIAL KORN SHOW!! 6-11-10!! They made a vid of it too!! =]
Always have been..Always will be jofish420 worldwide baby!
Re: Concerts
Everything JoJo said on the boys touring and the love for the fans :) I've seen Korn 7 times. First time was 2006 Family Values. It's hard to pick just one favorite, because being able to see them live is a privilege, in my eyes. Bako 6-11-10 was a pretty awesome show, but I'm gonna just say that my favorite show, so far, was this year, March 13 in Sacramento, California :-)
Re: Concerts
Mayhem Fest earlier this year was my 43rd KoRn show! Yes, I did say 43 KoRn shows haha first concert was them opening for Danzig in '95 and I've been to every appearance I could get to ever since (it'd actually be even more but I am cursed to live in PA where they constantly cancel on us)
Favorite show is a very hard one to pick, I was at Woodstock '99, that was just incredible, that could easily be my favorite show, Sick and Twisted was great because they did back to back shows for our city and the one night I was backstage helping out because I had won a contest, and then the next night I was right in the pit experiencing it as a fan again. Finally, the Issues performance at the Apollo Theater. I can't even describe how incredible that night was. It's hard for me to choose but those are definitely my top 3 shows.

RE: Concerts
wow, lots of people from norcal on here!!
i've only been to 2 korn concerts :( mayhem festival at shoreline, which was amazing because i saw JD and field on segways and there were midgets AND i met JD and fieldy [well, they signed my stuff, i was too much in awe to really talk], but it also kinda sucks because i couldnt see them because the lawn at shoreline sucks. and then i saw them at arco arena for MAAW, and they made the night after standing in rain for 3 hours, seeing a chick poop, having to talk to annoying disturbed fans, in this moment, and disturbed. that is the best concert i have been to out of all concerts ive been to :)
after i graduate high school, though, my friend and i plan on [no, are GOING TO] follow korn on what ever tour they start up on.
i hope that oi can say ive seen korn 43 times someday. :D
Re: Concerts
Five Korn shows, six if you count Jonathan's solo show. My concert list goes as follows:
1. 03/14/06 - The Joint @ Hard Rock Hotel, Las Vegas, NV - S.Y.O.T.O.S. NORTH AMERICAN TOUR 2006 w/ MUDVAYNE, 10 YEARS
2. 08/12/06 - The Joint @ Hard Rock Hotel, Las Vegas, NV - FAMILY VALUES TOUR 2006

My favorite show was the 5th one (Ballroom Blitz) because that was the show I got to be Roadie for a Day. :-)
Though each show was awesome in their own ways, KoRn always put on a great setlist and performance but I gotta say their most recent show this year was probably the best!
BTW Thanks KS for the tour date archive.
Re: Concerts
Unfortunately, I have only been to one concert.
Last year at Mayhem (Noblesville, Indiana). One of my best friends and I went, our seats were terrible. But I had a blast.
Re: Concerts
i hope that oi can say ive seen korn 43 times someday. :D
I hope you can say that too! If you're only at 2 right now that means they'll be around for years and years and years haha
"Death is but a door. Time is but a window. I'll be back"
Re: Concerts
I've seen them 14 times, 15 if you count JD's solo tour.
I think the very first time I saw them live will always be my favorite. It was the Sick & Twisted tour and my first concert ever. Yes, Korn took my virginity. =P I was lucky enough to catch one of the shows before David injured his wrist. Unforgettable night! And the Summer Sanitarium tour was a few months later--holy crap. It was insanity. Loved that one, too.
Re: Concerts
Sadly, I've never had the fortune to see them live- I missed out on the Ozzfest last year 'cause I was on holiday at the time!
Next time Korn tour the UK, I'm THERE!
Re: Concerts
I've seen Korn six times, so I'm just gonna list those shows.
06-28-2003: Ozzfest (first concert ever)
08-22-2004: Projekt Revolution
08-06-2006: Family Values Tour (I met Munky and Fieldy)
08-18-2007: Family Values Tour
05-10-2009: Buzzfest
05-30-2010: Ballroom Blitz Tour (I met everybody in Korn, including Zac)
I've seen a ton of other bands but recently it was The Dillinger Escape Plan; before that, I saw The Birthday Massacre and Otep. The only other bands besides Korn that I've seen more than once are Deftones (twice) and NIN (twice). 311 is next on my list, and that'll be my second time seeing them.
Re: Concerts
I've only been to 3 korn gigs:
- Lille 06/06/06
- Graspop 2009
- Graspop 2011
The Graspop 2011 was an awesome show but I think my first Korn concert will always be my favorite one

Re: Concerts
I've only managed to see them 3 times in this last year or so. I saw them on the Mayhem tour 2010. Then drove down to Indiana for the MAAW tour 2011, and again for MAAW on the second leg up in MI, 2011. The last show was my favorite because I had meet n greet passes, got my art work signed by all of them, and JD also signed my arm, (now a tattoo). I hope to continue to see them at shows and would love to travel to do it. Unfortunatly, life keeps getting in the way.

Wow, thanks so much for sharing! I learn more and more each day, especially cause of you guys :)) And I really appreciate the effort and passion that Korn puts into their songs and shows .. I never really thought about it until now. Thanks for that.

Re: Concerts
Oct 31st 2002 my favorite. Pop Sux tour One of maybe 2 korn shows I wasn't sweating my ass off at. lol Because it was a whopping 39 degrees in Dallas. The Halloween they dressed as cowboys & Disturbed dressed as Korn. lol priceless & I don't know how many shows I've been to I would have to go back and find all the dates or stubs it's not as many as some of you. lol I'd guess a dozen.
Re: Concerts
Projekt Revolution 2004 (East Troy, WI)
See You On The Other Side Promo Tour (Chicago, IL)
Music As A Weapon (Bloomington, IL)
I've only seen Korn headline once, and they were they only band playing.
I've also never seen the same line-up twice.
find me wrapped in glass and slowly soaked in lime
Re: Concerts
I see many more tours in your future!

Roller Brushes
The roller brush of your vacuum cleaner sweeps dirt and debris off your floors. The bristles of the brush can be worn down over the period of time. This will prevent the brush from collecting all the dust and grime from the carpets and bare floors. The roller brush can be replaced if they are damaged or the bristles are worn out.
How to increase the life span of a roller brush
•The longetivity of the vacuum brush depends on how well you take care of it. The vacuum must be dusted and cleaned once in a while.
•Unfasten the faceplate over the brush bar and remove the plastic faceplate. Using a pair of scissors cut the threads and hair that are entangled around the brush bar.
•Using a rag wipe the dust and debris from the brush bar.
•Replace the faceplate and tighten the fasteners before using the vacuum.

Picturing Science: Capturing Coral's Glow
by AMNH on
Stony corals are living animals that are only two cell layers thick, but over time, their calcium carbonate skeletons can form massive limestone islands. Some contain fluorescent molecules, proteins in their tissue that absorb light from an external source and emit light back at different wavelengths. Marine biologist David Gruber uses a painstaking method of underwater photography to get striking images of fluorescent corals, including images of moon coral and staghorn coral currently on display in the exhibition Picturing Science: Museum Scientists and Imaging Technologies.
"You shine a specific wavelength of light to stimulate the protein—usually blue or green—and the corals emit back in otherworldly greens and reds," explains Gruber, a research associate in the Museum's Division of Invertebrate Zoology, "You have to photograph underwater in the dark at night with specially-filtered strobes because you're only interested in the light emitted by the corals and other reef-dwelling organisms."
Gruber photographed these corals in the northern Red Sea in Eilat, Israel, in May 2010, as part of his research into the patterns and functions of fluorescent proteins. Fluorescent proteins have been found to be useful tools in studying AIDS, Altzheimer's, cancer, and other diseases, as well as in basic biological research.
A Historical Tour of Aphrodisiacs with Francine Segan
by AMNH on
In honor of the approaching Valentine's Day, the Museum will host food historian Francine Segan on Wednesday, February 8, for Aphrodisiacs: Myth or Reality?, featuring stories and tastings of foods considered to have seductive properties throughout time. Below, Segan unravels the histories behind a few food items thought to have a strong connection to passion.
Why were oysters, scallops, mussels, and other types of seafood hailed as aphrodisiacs?
Francine Segan: Aphrodisiacs were named for Aphrodite, the goddess of love. According to ancient Greek legend, Aphrodite was born from the sea and arrived onshore transported on either an oyster or scallop shell. So oysters and all sorts of shellfish were thought to be aphrodisiacs.
Dimitar Sasselov on the Exoplanet Revolution
by AMNH on
In the past year, scientists have discovered an astounding number of planets beyond our solar system. On Monday, February 6, Harvard astronomer Dimitar Sasselov will discuss these "exoplanets" and the possibility of discovering life beyond Earth at February's Frontiers in Astrophysics lecture. Sasselov recently answered a few questions about the search for other worlds.
Have discoveries of exoplanets within the last few months changed any of our views on the potential for life beyond our solar system?
Lab Confidential: Conserve and Protect

For the past year, a 7-foot-tall totem of an eagle has towered over the well-ordered tables of the Museum's Objects Conservation Lab, the special department within the Division of Anthropology charged with protecting its collections for future study.
Podcast: The Human Genome and Human Health: Will the Promise Be Fulfilled?

In this podcast from the fall, join the discussion with some of the country's top geneticists as they present their views on the triumphs, disappointments, and controversies that have arisen in genetic therapy in the healthcare field.

Phoenix Suns
Suns' Telfair excited about homecoming
There is something special about being able to play in the city you grew up in.
Sebastian Telfair will be afforded that opportunity Friday when the Suns visit the Brooklyn Nets for the first time since the Nets' move from New Jersey.
"It's definitely special. I can't downplay it at all," he said. "I'm excited about it. It's my hometown."
Telfair is a veteran of nine NBA seasons so he has played several times in New York, where the Knicks call Madison Square Garden home.
"Of course playing in the Garden is one thing," he said, "but actually playing in the borough that I'm from which is Brooklyn, it's going to be special to me and a lot of people that watched me come up coming from Lincoln High School in Brooklyn (to) playing in the pros.
"It's going to be a pretty cool game."
What's not going to be cool is finding enough tickets to satisfy all his friends and family.
"I kept my requests down for the Garden game so I know I was going to have to get a couple of tickets for this game," Telfair said.
"I'm going to take this experience and enjoy it as much as possible."

I just installed Win 8 Enterprise as a dual boot VHD on my laptop. I'm having a problem though - when I try to access the store, I get an error message saying "We weren't able to connect to the Store. This might have happened because of a server problem or hte network connection timed out. Please wait a few minutes and try again".
I've seen that this somewhat of a common issue, and I've tried a few fixes (WSreset.exe, app troubleshooter) but still it isn't working. Even using a local account isn't working :-/ I've tried a wireless and wired connection, and flushing dns.
Anyone have any suggestions or experienced this problem?
Edit: Added picture.

Tommy Cowley lives a quiet life in a decaying apartment complex with his highly pregnant wife. The couple is attacked one day by a group of hooded young thugs, and after a shocking act of violence, Tommy is left to raise his newborn daughter alone. So shaken by the events that he's developed extreme agoraphobia, Tommy alternates days hiding out indoors in his new flat from imagined threats and intense therapy sessions aimed at bringing him back to normalcy. When the same hooded gang, seemingly intent on kidnapping his daughter, begins terrorizing his life again, he's torn between his paralyzing fear and protective parental instinct. With the help of a vigilante priest who has uncovered the genesis of this ruthless, potentially supernatural gang, Tommy must overcome his fears and venture into the heart of the abandoned tower block known as the CITADEL to save his family.

I tried the old program NXT-PC and it worked very very well :D
Cant wait for my bro to come home to test the java program!!!
Happy day! :D :D :D
- Oct 8, 2006, 3:08:00 AM
I tried it on my SonyEricsson k700i it didnt work. The phone and the NXT was connected and the brogram running but nothing happend. The GUI on the phone just shoved a grey screen, maby thats what it should do, but when i used joystik or buttons nothing happend. Plz make it work for SonyErisson aswell. :)
- Oct 8, 2006, 4:09:00 AM
When the phone connected to the brick, did the brick beeped?
Monday i will have a SonyEricsson k610i to test and im sure it will work :)
- Oct 8, 2006, 4:18:00 AM
Important Note: just turn on the cellphone bluetooth and run NXTSymbian (DONT connect true the cellphone software) just turn on the bluetooth a run the app, nxtsymbian will connect for itself.
When you open the app it must ask for you to press a key to begin the bt search for the nxt.
Maybe thats why you got a gray screen.
- Oct 8, 2006, 4:30:00 AM
It works PERFECTLY!!!
Thank you so much for this app. I have a nokia n70. I am an absolute phone nerd. Everything I do is based around "how can i use this with my phone."
I bought this set to use with my phone. 70% reason why I bought the NXT set. I have been googling symbian bluetooth nxt every day since I bought the set. This is the ultimate umeronumero app for me. Please continue develpment of this app. Specifically, I would very much like to see one more control for actuation of 3rd motor (for attack, left/right steering etc).
Just wanted to pass on a huge THANKS for finally developing this app.
Thanks again,
- Oct 8, 2006, 5:30:00 AM
Thnks :)
I added 3 triggers, keys * 0 #
They send bt message "cmda" "cmdb" "cmdc", you can use them in nxt-g the way you want to activate motors, play sounds whatever :)
They work the same way as "fwd" "rwd" "right" "left" etc.
- Oct 8, 2006, 6:14:00 AM
I really can't make this work on my sonyEricsson. If someone can plz tell me what to do. I tried to turn on bluetooth on the phone and then run the NXYsymbian.jar just as writen above, but all i get is a grey screen, with an EXIT underneath that doesn't work. I have downloaded the .jar file several times and tried to push all buttons on the phone....What to do, i'm desperate.
- Oct 8, 2006, 7:48:00 AM
Thanks, Pedro!
You made my day!
- Oct 8, 2006, 8:33:00 AM
Chill out, Dude! It may simply not work on an Ericson phone. Posting 2 comments on the same problem is overkill. If Pedro or someone else can help you, they will. Calm down.

I have a Motorola L6.
When I run the program it finds and connects to my NXT, but then it asks for a port and I don't know what to do. It gives a list but I don't know what I'm suppose to do. When I select one it says something about java runtime error -1.
Any help?

UA gives us several information about the daily life at the university that directly contradict information in Last Continent (wizards sleeping habits, for example) That wouldn't matter if it, in a way, wouldn't have been so essential in TLC that wizards don't have mealtimes between supper and breakfast. It's all just speculation and yes, a bit of overanalysis, but here's my string of thoughts:
In TLC the wizards order food out of the regular times in a greater amount than the 'occassional nightsnack'. Food which has to be brought to the study. Which then leads to the wizards getting stuck on mono island.
Now, if there'd been a nightkitchen and regular meals at 3 am (or it be at leats common for wizards to be up at that time, as it is in UA) they very likely would have brought food with them directly.
So, no need for Mrs Whitlow to come to the study and cause the following events.
As said, it is just speculation.

Participate in the Annual Eat Local Challenge Today at St. Edward's University
Get involved and take the annual Eat Local Challenge, a meal made from scratch, solely from locally grown ingredients, today, Sept. 27, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.
Now in its seventh year, Bon Appétit's Eat Local Challenge highlights fresh-picked food, family farms and local taste traditions. Today, St. Edward's University will join more than 400 other Bon Appétit restaurants and cafés in creating a special meal that honors farms within 150 miles of their kitchens.
For this year's Eat Local Challenge, Executive Chef Elvin Lubrin of Bon Appétit at St. Edward's University is excited to highlight some of Austin's best produce from local farms. Two different dishes will be served:
South Congress Market Dish—Grilled Pork Chops with Serrano Pepper and Heirloom Tomato Sauce, Roasted Butternut Squash and Eggplant tossed with Olive Oil and Agua Fresca that he will prepare with the bounty from local purveyors such as Richardson Farms, Springdale Farms, Johnson's Backyard Garden and Round Rock Honey.
Hunt Hall Dish—L. East Poultry Rotisserie Chicken with Johnson's Backyard Garden's Sweet Potato Mash and a Wedge of Gundermann Acres Canteloupe
"This is my fourth year of the Eat Local Challenge, and it never gets old," says Elvin Lubrin. "I really enjoy being reminded of how Bon Appétit uses the kitchen to nourish not only people, but also local economies and the planet. And as a chef, I love giving some well-deserved attention the farmers and artisans who grow our food, bringing people together around good food, and at the same time minimizing the impact of our food choices on the Earth."
More information about the Eat Local Challenge
In 1999, Bon Appétit established a companywide initiative called Farm to Fork, asking our chefs to buy as much local food as possible directly from small, owner-operated farms and artisan food-makers within a 150-mile radius of our cafés. Now, our Farm to Fork suppliers number more than a thousand. Through them, our cafés direct millions of dollars annually back into local communities, helping to nurture a sustainable food system and bring you the freshest food available.
Bon Appétit started the Eat Local Challenge in 2005 to encourage our diners to look past the supermarket to the bounty of food growing all around them, all over the country. Trying to cook a whole meal (or, in some determined challenge participants' cases, a whole menu) from entirely local ingredients requires creativity and resourcefulness, and pays off in unexpected flavors and a deeper sense of place.
Bon Appétit is proud to support local farmers every day and in many of the 120 million meals that we serve every year. Eat Local Challenge Day is our way of calling our guests' attention to this delicious, freshly picked food and to the flavor, environmental, and economic benefits of eating straight from the farm.

Sometimes I start sewing without much of a plan, and it either turns out amazing…semi-cool…or pretty horrible. I'd give this one a rating of semi-cool and growing on me.
It's very busy with all those prints crammed into one table runner!
I did this swirly quilting on it and it was really fun once I got the hang of it!
I wrote in this post how I made the pinwheels. The sizes of pinwheels were 8 1/2", 4 1/2" (trimmed down from 5"), and 6 1/2"…then I sewed 2" strips to 2 sides of the 6 1/2" to make the block 8 1/2" square.
I love the look of it on my table…but between art projects and experiments it will probably spend very little time there!
My friend Emily sent me these fabulous fat quarters from her new collection Technicolor…I can't wait to see more at Quilt Market in less than a week!

I need to ask a small question about character encoding in HTML.
When submitting a form, i am doing a client side validation that will read all data from the form and "Escape" it in a way to transform < into > single quotes to ' etc .
function verufymyform(form){ var str = ''; var elem = form.elements; for(var i = 0; i < elem.length; i++) { str = characterEncodingFunction(elem[i].value); //here is the function i am calling elem[i].value = str; //I think i should add a JS function here??[/size] [size=3] } return false; }[/size] [size=3]
now the problem arises when i have for example a submit button with value "J'accept". When clicking it , its value becomes J'accepte.
What function in javascript should i add so the display is not modified?
thank you in advance.
