1.0 out of 5 stars I know music piracy is wrong but this is just ridiculous,
Firstly, I should just mention that the music on this albumn is absolutely brilliant, possibley lacking in a few slash style "epic" solo's, (speaking as a huge slash fan), but that aside the music easily gets 5 stars. The problem lies with the CD.
Before buying, this "digipak" version of contraband appears to be nothing more then a bonus disc with an extra track on...

5.0 out of 5 stars contraband is an amazing rock album,
i'm a huge fan of guns n' roses to start with. But as from today i'm officialy a bigger fan of velvet revolver. I've been listening to contraband for the past week on MTV's official website and its simply an amazing rock album. It kicks off with the punky "sucker train blues" which has a catchy bassline intro that'll stick deep into your head. The first 5 songs will rock you to the bone but then suddenly this down-spiralling riff from slash invites you to share what I think will be the song to catch everybodys attention to this band. With the name "Fall to Pieces" this is a beatiful power ballad that has a another catchy chorus and amazing guitar solo. This isn't the only ballad on the album, there's 3 in total. The other 2 are amazing too, with really strong lyrics and beautiful melodies. Other hard rockers include "Dirty Little Thing" (with a speedy solo) and "Slither" (this is probably the best heavy one on the album). If your sick of buying albums with 1 or 2 good songs, then the rest are crap... then fork out the cash for this one because believe me this doesn't fail to deliver!! There's at least 11 strong tracks on this album. Definately worth every penny!
P.S i forgot to mention the track "Loving the Aliens" very emotional track, really really good song

4.0 out of 5 stars A Worthwhile Addition To An Excellent Album!,
This review is from: Contraband (Tour Edition) [Australian Import] (Audio CD)
Firstly, Contraband is an excellent album. Despite the group being made up of several ex-Guns N' Roses members, the sound is refreshingly modern rock. Excellent tracks on the album include Slither, Sucker Train Blues, You Got No Right, Fall To Pieces... the list goes on. In fact, the only track I'm not fond of is Loving the Alien - it's very slow in contrast to the rest of the album.
However, if you're looking at the import version, the chances are you already own Contraband and are looking for something extra for your collection. The three bonus tracks Surrender, No More No More and Negative Creep are all quite good. Not a patch on the rest of the Contraband album, but worthwhile having. They are all covers of other band's music (for instance, No More No More was originally recorded by Aerosmith) but Velvet Revolver have put their own take on it. Best track is probably Surrender, but if you're in the mood for a heavy, driving metal song, Negative Creep is the one! One small disadvantage is that the UK Bonus Track, Bodies, is not present on this album. I know, it's an import, but Bodies is a good song.
The videos are pretty much as you'd expect - not particularly high quality and they're just the Music Videos for Slither and Fall To Pieces. A "behind the scenes look" would have been nice, but of course they're limited to one CD.
The major advantage to this release, however, is the lack of BMG Copy Protection that's on the UK and European versions of Contraband. This means that you can listen to the CD on your PC or Mac, and it's not got those annoying "sparks" of sound. It's also possible to import the music to your MP3 player, so if that's what you're after then this is an excellent CD to buy.
In summary: Great CD1, CD2 is ok but worth having if you're a collector, and both CDs are an improvement if you find the BMG Copy Control restrictive.

5.0 out of 5 stars What GNR should have become.,
due to the similarity between the members of VR and Guns & Roses, the comparison is inevitable. Standing along side Appetite for Destruction, this album does occasionally struggle, but what is surprising is how little GNR's masterpiece outshines VR's debut - and in some ways VR overshadow GNR.
Appetite's greatest asset was its raw aggression and the co-ordinated mayhem of a dysfunctional bunch of kids in a band who could just about hold it together long enough to finish the tracks. This chaos contributed to the near-perfection of that album, which no-one has bettered before or since. However, 'real' GNR are long gone.
Enter: Velvet Revolver from the wreckage of GNR and Stone Temple Pilots, and what you get is an inflammable mix of riffs, screaming, aggression and Slash-nesh which makes the jaw drop. This is not a tired bunch of 40yr-olds trying to re-live their glory days. This sounds like a new band. And, praise be. It's good. Very good.
This album is about as riff-filled as one could hope for. The tracks "Slither", "Set Me Free", "Superhuman" and "Suckertrain Blues" hit hard with vintage Slash riffs, and some cool solo-ing. Scott Weiland is a fantastic counterfoil to all the GNR-ness - his voice is snarly, angry, and screwed up for the loud bits, but clear end edgy when it needs to be for the quieter moments.
The GNR rhythm section is here, and they are as lean, tight and powerful as ever. Louder, certainly, and probably crisper too. There are some complex rhythms on here - and the guys make it sound easy. "Slither" is probably my favourite here - it slams in, and grinds into a totally infectious riff with a chorus that opens up into something quite special. GNR never sounded this good. Had a cool dungeon-based video if I remember too...
What also stands out is how VR manage to shift gear into 'power-ballad' mode, but still retaining their edge. the two 'ballads' here "Fall To Pieces", which was a single, and "Loving The Alien" are fabulous. FTP is a more traditional power-style ballad, but it's got that cool guitar 'complete' sound which sets it apart from lesser bands. LTA ,which is almost entirely acoustic is just simply beautiful - acoustic that is until Slash cranks up and comes in with a ridiculously good laid-back bluesy November-Rain style solo. Utterly stunning.
Production is fabulous - and detailing is wonderful. Across the album, the balance is right - Slash is clearly prominent (and playing out of his skin, rather than out of his head), and the interplay between his guitar and Scott's voice works amazingly well. Matt and duff drive the album forward with precision and grit - and the effect of all this is just awesome. Repeated listens reveal new riffs and licks that make this more special. The controlled chaos is in the detail - it's still there, but now it sounds properly screwed together.
Indeed however you describe them, Velvet Revolver show us what GNR should have become - and hopefully won't stop with this album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just buy it!,
This review is from: Contraband [Digipak] (Audio CD)
I approached this album with some excitement as I'm a big, big Slash and G n' R fan. With the addition of Scott Weiland I thought it was a breath of fresh air and a new angle and, if you ask me, quite ironic. Stone Temple Pilots are very similar to bands such as Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam and Nirvana and it is this kind of music which eventually signalled the demise of Guns n Roses so it was a strange choice to pick Scott but I think an interesting one. The album kicks off as it means to go on. A thick, ugly bass line that kicks into a classic Slash riff and you're already jumping around your car, living room, whatever! Weilands vocals complement each and every song perfectly and he gets his chance to test his range on 'Fall To Pieces' a slow ballad and - no doubt- a live set resting point for the band! The lyrics are surprisingly anti-drug considering the majority of the bands' history and for me 'Headspace' is another high point on the album. And then we come to the first single, 'Slither', which sums up Weilands' stage performance perfectly! He is a human snake. Matt Sorums' snare drum is only a brief intro to Duffs' bass and riffing of Dave Kushner and the legendary Slash as the song rips through you like a scythe and delivers another classic rock n'roll anthem. The solo is awesome and you're left with another three songs with which to chill out and recover! So is it like Guns? With the musical core of the band present, it's hard not to sound like them. But with the addition of a different style singer in Scott Weiland it takes them to another dimension. They may all have cleaned up their act with drink and drugs but they most definitely have not cleaned up their music. Dirty, melodic and pumping. Just buy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars VR not GNR,
James Packer "jamespacker" (Chester) - See all my reviews
Just thought it was worth contributing at least one review that doesn't compare VR to GNR. Why everyone insists on doing so is beyond me. This is a different band, a different century, a different singer, a different vibe, a different band lyrically and they have moved on. You should do the same.
The first few songs on Contraband rock. Without fail they have the huge riffs that Slash has become famous for and catchy choruses courtesy of the criminally underrated Scott Weiland. Big Machine is where this record really comes alive for me, and shows that this band will not be brushed off lightly. The curious stop-start riff takes a few listens to get your head around, but it really works and is the first indication that there is enough invention and creativity here to span a few albums.
First lighters-in-the-air moment is Fall to Pieces. If Slash and co. were a bit more coffee-table friendly I'd be calling it a number 1 record. It's a good enough song, but it's commerciality sits slightly at odds with some of the other tracks, which have a bit more depth to them. For a more emotional ballad you should listen to Loving the Alien, which is absolutely ace. It builds and builds, but is always understated, leaving you wanting more at the end of it.
Headspace and Superhuman are two of the standout tracks on the record, in my opinion. The former has got a great riff, is instantly catchy and does a great job of starting the second half of the album. Superhuman is weird. Not on the surface, but the more you listen to it, the weirder it gets. A fantastically twisted guitar line, a number of different sections and several changes of tempo, and it still manages to have a strong melody.
This record doesn't die quietly either. The two obvious singles (Set Me Free and Slither) are both towards the end of the album. Slither in particular is brilliant. It has THAT riff, a fantastic solo and a great melody... What more does a song need? Set Me Free also has the same winning formula, albeit with a slightly less manic solo, but an equally big chorus.
Overall this is a great rock record. Most of the tracks involve the same basic recipe (a big riff, a big chorus, pentatonic solo, repeat to fade), but this is rescued from boredom by a) the songwriting, which means you are happy to hear the same formula applied several times, and b) the odd bit of strangeness, which spices it all up a bit and keeps you guessing.

5.0 out of 5 stars contraband,
Mr. A. D. Hill "snakepit_uk" (nottingham, uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Contraband: Parental Advisory [VINYL] (Vinyl)
having heard all the tracks, thanks to internet radio i can say that this album is amazing.
slither and set me free have both been available for a while now if you looked hard enough. both are amazing tracks.
sucker train blues was recently played on radio one, and has a strong riff and an amazing slash solo as you would expect.
do it for the kids is my personal favourite song on the album, it has a great deal of energy about it,allthough there is no solo.
big machine would be a good choice for a single in my opinion
the only version of illegal I, I have heard was poor quality so it is hard to judge the song from that.
specticle has some nice guitar licks which work well within the song.
fall to pieces (the second single) is a brilliant ballad written by scott just after he kicked the drugs and also during the break up with his wife (they are now back together). the lyrics are meaningful and the song is pure quality
headspace the same as illegal I the only version i have heard are poor quality, so i wont make judgement on the song.
you got no right, this song was first performed in 2003 and is brilliant, slash takes an amazing solo in this song.
super human, is my least favourite song on the album
loving the alien (sometimes) is another brilliant ballad, and another good choice for a single,
the UK version of contraband is supposed to have a bonus track which as far as i know is a cover of the sex pistols song bodies.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Grower,
tricky wheeler "tricky" (sydney, australia) - See all my reviews
I ordered this album as soon as I heard about it, and when I opened it on the day of its arrival I have to say I was a touch disappointed. However, I listened to it a few times, and found myself liking it more and more with each turn, it's not GnR, and it's not STP, people looking for another incarnation of those bands are bound to be disappointed. It's a slightly punky offering from a supergroup who have put the stuff they already released behind them. Don't buy it because you like Slash, or Scott Weiland, the whole point is that they're doing something different, just listen to it as a new offering from a new band (which it is), hold no preconceived notions about it, and you'll realise what a masterpiece it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Second great rock 'supergroup' in 18 months,
By A Customer
Audioslave set the recent benchmark for what could be achieved by taking a singer from one late, great rock band (although Stone Temple Pilots were never in the same league as Guns N Roses, or, with regard to Audioslave, Soundgarden) and the guitarists and drummers from another seminal rock band.
Perfectly timed to steal the thunder from the inadequate GNR best of, Contraband fulfils all the promise the line up offered. Full of huge guitar licks and memorable solos (well, if Slash couldn't still leave an imprint on an album, who could?) and with Scott Weiland's voice providing an edge of authentic 'rock' - all deep throaty venom, but capable too (on Fall to Pieces for example) of a satisfying change of pace - Velvet Revolver prove that some bands can indeed match the hype.
As has been said, basically if you love Slither, then this is the album for you.
Good to see Weiland actually making headlines for music and not for failed rehab attempts / arrests too. Seeing his skeletal frame gyrate around in the Slither video shows that 'heavy' rock's own Mick Jagger - check the hip wiggling! - is back on that ball.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about time!!!!,
I have to say, with all the press that VR have recieved over the last year it is incredable that they can put out this record...
Everyone expects... so many people have spoken like this is the record that should've come out after Illusions 1 & 2... but that was like 10 years ago...
I think that this record is really good, no excellent.. and it just goes to show that low down dirty rock and roll always wins... bands, pop acts and rock star wannabies (busted must die!!!) come and go, but at the end of the day you can allways tell when its Slash cutting up the fret board...
The stand out tracks for me have to be Slither, Sucker Train Blues and Fall to Pieces... I actually can't stop hitting the replay button on Fall to Pieces, it just gives you the shivers down the back of your neck just like Sweet Child O' Mine...
All in all, this is a must buy for anyone into Rock and Roll... buy it and enjoy it for what it is.. just don't buy into the media hype...

Coating Materials
SAS Seawax Marine Coatings, of France, has introduced a water-based antifouling coating without solvents, silicon, Teflon or biocides.
Seawax Fouling Release and Seawax Etch Primer comprise a coating system based on an anti-adhesive film that the manufacturer says makes stable, durable microorganism attachment impossible. The film is self-cleaning when the boat reaches a speed of five knots, the manufacturer says.
The company calls the coatings "100% neutral" and says they contain none of the silicon, Teflon and biocides that will be banned as of 2014 by the European Community's REACH regulation.
The products can be used on all sea boats and river boats, including iron and steel ship bodies, Seawax says. The coating is an insulator that enhances substrate water resistance, but it has no anti-corrosion properties. On iron and steel substrates, a layer of anti-corrosion coating should be applied first, the manufacturer advises.
Seawax Fouling Release is a fast-drying hydrogel recommended for use on boat hulls, Seawax says. The coating reduces weight and water resistance, while preventing or delaying the attachment of microorganisms, according to the supplier. The product must be re-applied every year.
Seawax Etch Primer must be applied before Fouling Release, the manufacturer reports. The primer is an "eco-designed," single-component polyurethane resin that can be applied directly to the substrate or onto existing coatings.

I selected this product because of the natural products it listed. They did NOT LIST the fact that it contained FLUORIDE. I do not use products that contain FLUORIDE. FLUORIDE is being removed form the water supply in several European countries because is does not fight cavities. It is a waste product that should not be added to any product

How to Look Hot in a Minivan: A Real Woman's Guide to Losing Weight, Looking Great, and Dressing Chic in the Age of the Celebrity Momby Janice Min
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In 2003, as the newly named editor in chief of Us Weekly magazine, Janice Min was busy documenting a seismic cultural shift: the making of the "Hollywood Mom." Think Angelina Jolie, Victoria Beckham, Halle Berry, and Beyoncé—stars who proudly displayed their pregnancies, shed the baby weight overnight, and helped turn the once-frumpy bump industry into seriously big business. In the blink of an eye, it seemed, "skinny jeans" had replaced "mom jeans." Bugaboos had become status symbols. Motherhood itself had become an exciting style statement. And then—just eight weeks after her big promotion—Janice discovered that she was pregnant, too.
"I started ogling, with morbid fascination, the photographs that flooded my office—red-carpet and paparazzi shots of celebrities in bikinis and bandage dresses mere weeks after giving birth," she writes. "Id stare at my own ever-expanding body. Then Id stare at Heidi Klum (who gave birth one month before my due date and managed to bounce back before Id even hit the delivery room). How did these women do it? I wondered." How to Look Hot in a Minivan was born.
With her trademark self-deprecating style and tongue-in-cheek humor, Janice set out to debunk some of Hollywoods biggest mommy myths. Then she brought together the industrys biggest experts in fitness, fashion, beauty, and all-things-baby to divulge the secrets behind the stars seemingly effortless postpartum style. Serving up practical, honest, and often surprising advice for new moms everywhere, Janice and her arsenal of experts reveal:

• How to style red carpet-worthy hair, even on school days
• The secrets to hiding a postnatal stomach pooch
• The truth behind the C-tuck (Do celebrity moms sometimes slim down courtesy of a combination cesarean section-tummy tuck?)
• Hollywoods Biggest Losers (What did it really take for stars like Kate Hudson, Milla Jovovich, and Poppy Montgomery to lose the baby weight?)
In How to Look Hot in a Minivan, Min dispels the idea that looking great post-pregnancy is only for the rich, the pampered, and the lucky. With Mins guilt-free, stay-sane strategies, moms everywhere can look and feel like stars—whether their baby is six months or sixteen years.
The best-kept secrets of Hollywood moms-revealed by the former editor of US Weekly and current Editorial Director of The Hollywood Reporter
Current editorial director of The Hollywood Reporter, Janice Min was editor in chief of Us Weekly for six years where she documented one of the biggest cultural shifts of the last decade: the making and celebration of the Hollywood Mom. Think Angelina Jolie, Victoria Beckham, Heidi Klum and Halle Berry—stars who proudly displayed their pregnancies, shed baby weight overnight, and helped turn the once frumpy bump industry into big business. Being a mom had become a style statement: skinny jeans replaced 'mom jeans, Bugaboos became status symbols, and Pilates became a post-natal workout staple. Motherhood became chic, leaving regular moms across America, including Min, feeling both excited and anxious (what, one more thing to worry about?). But in How to Look Hot in a Minivan, Min dispels the idea that looking great post-pregnancy is only for the rich, pampered and lucky. In a style both smart and funny, she brings together top Hollywood experts in diet, fitness, fashion and beauty to show the reader the simplest, most cost-effective strategies for looking younger and better (without the guilt!), proving being a mom neednt be a style liability.

Every sport has its number.
In baseball, it's 56 for the length of Joe DiMaggio's consecutive game hitting streak. In football, it's 50 for the number of touchdown passes Tom Brady threw in 2007. In basketball, it's 100 for how many points Wilt Chamberlain scored in a single game in 1962.
In the world of professional bass fishing, the number is 28.
That's how many consecutive Bassmaster Classics Rick Clunn fished before failing to qualify in 2002. It's a record that may never be broken.
From 1974 through 2001, Clunn was a staple at the Classic. When other superstars of the sport had a bad season and missed the championship it was no big deal — except to them. When Clunn finally failed to qualify in 2002, it was bigger news than Jay Yelas winning the event.
During those 28 years of excellence, Clunn's dominance of the Classic was complete. He won four times (1976, 1977, 1984 and 1990), finished in the top five 11 times, in the top ten 16 times and boated more than 700 pounds of bass. His accomplishments left his name on virtually every page of the record book.
To put Clunn's consecutive Classic record in perspective, let's consider the anglers who are the closest to matching it.
Kevin VanDam has the longest active consecutive Classic streak at 19 years — it's also the second longest consecutive streak in Classic history. He's been to every Classic since 1991. To catch Clunn, KVD will need to make every Classic from now until 2018.
Tim Horton has the second longest active streak at 10 straight Classics. He'll need to keep that going through 2027 if he wants to reach Clunn.
No other qualifier for the 2009 Classic has been to more than 8 consecutive championships.
The other anglers who have posted consecutive Classic streaks of 10 years or more are Larry Nixon (18 years), Gary Klein (17), Jay Yelas (16), Ricky Green and Tommy Martin (14), Hank Parker (13), Roland Martin (11) and Woo Daves (10).
In further defense of Clunn and to put his record in clearer perspective, it's a lot easier to qualify for the Bassmaster Classic today than it was in the 1970s and early 1980s when Clunn started his string. Back then the Classic fields varied in size from 25 to about 40. Since then, the number of qualifiers has risen to as many as 61 (2003) and presently rests at 51.
What's more, until the early 1990s, tournament pros shared their boats with other pros and had to split time in the front of the boat and selecting fishing areas. If you had a bad boat partner one day, he could wreck an entire tournament or season for you.
VanDam and the later generation of pros have a much easier path to the championship today.
Tomorrow we'll take a look at the number 27 and why it's a source of pride and consternation for Gary Klein.

I have a VBA script that I use to archive messages to a personal folder. It works fine on normal messages but I every time it encounters a message that has been encrypted it kicks out an run-time error "Your Digital ID name cannot be found by the underlying security system".

Just missing one piece of the _uzzle
Hi There! I moved to the Bay Area several years ago. Although I miss my family back on the East Coast, I have had a great time out here and feel extremely lucky. I have a job that I really like and a lot of great friends. I'm very happy how life has gone for me professionally and so on, but I'm still looking for a special someone. Personality wise, I'm a pretty traditional guy. Most of my friends would call me "the responsible one", but I also love pulling off pranks around my office. I love learning new things, I like tinkering in my garage and will take on new challenges just to learn something new. Replace the stairs to the deck? Done. Re-wire part of the house? Done. I haven't had any floods or fires yet, so I figure I'm doing a good enough job. One of these days I hope to do something like restore a classic car, but that never seems to get past the planning stages. For fun, I like taking long bike rides on the weekends, and I love skiing up in Tahoe. I also do a little bit of volunteer work with a group that helps high school kids. I also like heading out to happy hour and going completely overboard for Halloween every year. I suppose what I wrote up to now is a pretty decent description of me, though it doesn't really delve into what I'm looking for in a relationship. Some time ago, I saw an episode of "Boston Legal" where Denny Crane (William Shatner) and Alan Shore (James Spader) were having a Scotch and talking. The dialog really stuck with me. Thanks to IMDB, here it is: Denny Crane: Love, even when it's fleeting, even if it's for a day or two...it's everything. Don't you agree? Alan Shore: I do. .... Every morning I get to wake up and I get to wonder: "Will this be the day?" Every night when I lay my head on my pillow I wonder: "Will I meet her tomorrow?" I imagine what she'll look like, her smile, the way she does her hair, how she laughs, the contour of her neck... The promise of love can be everything. It's a magic you really find ... if you luck out. ...I think that sums up my thoughts pretty well.

I always like heading up to San Francisco to explore the city, and Tahoe is one of my favorite places in the winter. It's been a really long time since I've been to Europe, but I hope to get back there someday soon.

I always make sure to watch The Daily Show when I get home from work. I like almost any type of music, and I'm trying to re-learn the piano after being away from it for a few years. My favorite food is Italian.
On my weekends I often go on a bike ride, or in the winter I love going skiing. I like going to the movies, and I get to a few hockey and baseball games a year.

This recipe turned out very well. I made a delicious bottom and top crust. The only thing missing was the fluted edge. The filling was a little bland for my taste so I added more cinnamon and...
This was one of the worst recipes I have ever tried. I do not recommed it. No "crust" was formed, the flavor can best be described as bland and it looked disgusting! Nothing about this recipe...
I like that you didnt have to make or buy a crust with this one. the first time I made it i followed it word for word, the 2nd time I changed it,I also doubled it. Well most of it, I only put 1....

The Spanish influence on the music of the Caribbean is reflected in the sound of Puerto Rican vocalist Andy Montañez. Singing in a plaintive, high nasal tone, Montañez continues to expand on the musical traditions that originated among Hispanic farmers in the hills of Puerto Rico. Initially attracting attention as lead singer of El Gran Combo in 1961, Montañez remained with the group for 15 years. Accepting an invitation to become co-leader of a Venezuela-based band, Dimensi'n Latina, in 1977, he left after three years to pursue a solo career. His band retains the instrumental lineup of El Gran Combo: two trumpets, two saxophones, bass, piano, and Latin percussion including conga, bongos, timbales, cowbell, and maracas. His latest release, Salsa con Reggaetón arrived in 2006.

Super League: London Broncos v Catalan Dragons preview
Last Updated: 17/05/14 11:58am
Catalan Dragons will aim to return to winning ways as they kick-off the eighth Super League Magic Weekend on Saturday against London Broncos at the Etihad Stadium.
The French club were riding the crest of a wave before losing to Warrington last weekend, while the capital side suffered a 12th successive defeat in new coach Joe Grima's first game in charge.
Ultimate Weekend
A sporting spectacular awaits later this month - from 22nd to 25th May Sky Sports will show live coverage of the BMW PGA Championship, the Monaco Grand Prix, the UEFA Champions League Final, the Heineken Cup Final, the Championship Play-Off Final, England v Sri Lanka ODI cricket and much more. Don't miss the ultimate weekend live only on Sky Sports, your home of live sport. Upgrade in minutes or buy a NOW TV Sky Sports Day Pass.
After losing six of their opening eight outings in 2014, the Dragons rediscovered the rich vein of form which saw them finish seventh last term with four straight wins before last year's Grand Finalists brought them back down to earth with a humbling 42-10 reverse.
Saturday's meeting will be the third competitive encounter between the sides this term, with the Dragons triumphing 40-24 in Perpignan before claiming a 28-22 victory at the Twickenham Stoop, as well as beating the Broncos in a pre-season friendly.
Broncos second row Mike McMeeken, who missed his first game of the season against Huddersfield last Saturday, returns to their 19-man squad.
French recruit Maxime Herold is retained and looks set to face his compatriots as he continues to familiarise himself with his new team-mates.
"Communicating has been pretty tough because he doesn't have a great command of English," Grima told the club's official website.
"But his effort and tenacity have been great. Everything about him I like."
Things are improving on the injury front for the Broncos with long-term absentees Erjon Dollapi and Will Lovell back in action with London Skolars this weekend, leaving Nesi Mataitonga and Kieran Dixon as the only absentees.
Meanwhile, Dragons coach Laurent Frayssinous has made three changes to his 19-man party ahead of the trip to Manchester.
Olivier Elima, Thomas Bosc and Elliott Whitehead are all restored, meaning Antoni Maria, Julian Bousquet and William Barthau lose their places.
Scott Dureau, Ian Henderson and Brent Webb remain sidelined and continue to provide long-term injury concerns for Frayssinous.
Broncos: Atkins, Bishay, Caton-Brown, Cook, Cunningham, Drinkwater, Farrar, Foster, Greenwood, Herold, Krasniqi, Macani, McMeeken, Minns, Moore, Slyney, Solomona, Vea, Wallace.
Dragons: Escare, Pryce, Oldfield, Bosc, Elima, Lima, Taia, Anderson, Pelissier, Whitehead, Millard, Pala, Simon, Paea, Baitieri, Duport, Garcia, Guasch.

Every time he comes on stage,an obvious question pops up: where does he get his sense of humour from? Many a families have spent their weekend dinners in front of TV sets,wondering the same about the funny man who has suddenly become the countrys favourite. Last weekend,to the respite of many,he finally had an answer,Side mein National Market hai,wahan 700 gram humour milta hai Rs 250 mein. Din mein teen baar paani se pijeye.
We are talking about Kapil Sharma. Bestowing the funniest man crown on him is no exaggeration. Raw,crass,honest,quick-witted and whimsical are synonymous with his name. From being rejected as a stand-up comic in 2007 to hosting Comedy Nights with Kapil,Indias highest-rated non-fiction show,on Colors Sharma has come a long way. This is who I am in real life too. This is how I talk,this is how everybody in my family talks. And if people think its funny,then it must be, says the 32-year-old.
The show that has been tickling everyones funny bone since June is loosely-based on the popular British show,The Kumars at No.42. Bitto,played by Sharma,and his quirky family comprising a nagging wife (Sumona Chakravarti),a flirtatious dadi (Ali Asgar),an unmarried gambler bua (Upasana Singh) and Sunil Grover and Naseem Vicky as recurring cast host various Bollywood biggies,in front of a live interactive audience,apart from poking fun at each other. It started with yesteryear star Dharmendra and since then Shah Rukh Khan,Deepika Padukone,Ajay Devgn,Priyanka Chopra,Vidya Balan,Irrfan,Parineeti Chopra,Juhi Chawla and Shahid Kapoor have been stumped by his near perfect one-liners.
Shah Rukh Khan appeared on the show twice. Farah Khan messaged me mujhe kab bulaoge show pe? And Lataji (Mangeshkar) tweeted about my singing. I am so humbled by the acceptance, he says.
Since Sharma won the third season of Star Ones The Great Indian Laughter Challenge (TGILC) in 2007,he has only been associated with comedy and the fact that he has a serious side to him almost sounds like a joke. As a child,I wanted to be a singer. When I was in college,I was introduced to theatre and for years I only did serious roles. I didnt even know what comedy was, says Sharma.
Its not just on-screen that Sharma takes over the responsibility of making people laugh. A few minutes with him reveal that everything he says on the idiot box is not scripted. He thinks on his feet and sometimes doesnt even realise the gravity of his words till theyve left his mouth. As he gets talking about the time spent in Hindu College,Amristar,he says,Only two celebrities came out of that college our dear Prime Minister and I. One,who talks a lot and the other who doesnt say a word.
Sharma was so impacted by stand-up comic Gurpreet Ghuggi that he auditioned for Punjabi show Haste Hasaate Raho,a regional version of TGILC in 2005. After being rejected from the regional rounds of TGILC in 2007,he auditioned from Delhi and developed memorable characters such as Inspector Sher Singh on the show. Kapils humour has a Punjabi,plebian nature …continued »

Eventually, artwork shall be posted. Hopefully I'll get some stuff up soon.
I'm a writer who is also trying to become an artist.
I'm supposedly studying computer science with an emphasis in animation and graphics (if I get into the program when I apply this December, heh) and I'm also minoring in English.
This page doesn't have much art on it yet, but it will. I'm trying to get better at digital art, sketchbook-based art, and 3D computer-based art.

Well we are now in hour 4 of a nursing marathon and my poor boobs can't keep up! This is the first time I haven't had enough to satisfy him. He isn't distressed and we have been making lots of poopy & pee diapers all day long. I know that my breasts are never "empty" but he even when I have a let down it is still not enough. When he nods off I take him off my breast and he immediately wakes up and starts chewing on his hands and rooting around for more! Is this normal? This is my first time BFing as my ODS couldn't latch on and was formula fed.
8 day old won't stop nursing marathon on empty boobs! Help!

Well, they go through growth spurts and the only way to make more milk is to nurse more (or pump - but he doesn't know about that one!). It can be painful for sure in the beginning. "They" say to go to bed with the baby, let him nurse as much as he wants and drink tons of liquids in between (you snoozing when he does) - the rest, liquids and nursing will REALLY bring in a lot of milk - they say to do it for a few days (but how many of us have that luxury, especially with an older one). Anyway, just a thought. If you get too sore, get him a soother - but I know that that is a controversial thing...
I'm a mom. Enough said.
Totally normal!! Newborns have a very strong urge to suck...it comforts them...so your LO may just be self soothing by using you as a pacifer!! nothing to worry about...I found it conforting that I could provide my son the sense of security and love he needed!

Proud mommy to 2 H's
There are various views on pacifiers at that young and I was hesitant but it happened to be just what she needed. Otherwise just let him keep nursing. It will increase your supply the more he is nursing.
DD Anne (CS) 07/07/07
Samuel Robert (VBAC) 06/02/2011
I too thought that it might be just self soothing so I gave him the pacifier which he sucked on vigorously for a few minutes until he figured out that there was no milk coming from it. Then he was just mad! I know that they will nurse more than normal when they are going through a growth spurt, but this is rediculous... lol! Not to mention I didn't think that they did this until they were more like 3 weeks old.

Lay there and let him stay latched on. Also if your worried about supply, there are herbs and tea's you can take to help your milk supply

Rare Analog
OSCAR The OSCar is a vintage hybrid digital/analogue synth from British manufacturer Oxford Synthesiser Company (OSC). Designed by Chris Hugget after the ending of EDP, this masterpiece of engineering features digitally controlled dual oscillators with analog filters and plenty of knobs packed into a yellow plastic case with distinctive rubber elements.
SONIX The Moog Sonic Six originated from the Sonic V, a duophonic analog synth designed for muSonics by Gene Zumcheck, an ex-Moog employee. When Moog and muSonics merged to form Moog/Musonics, Bob Moog decided to modify the Sonic V and turn it into a Moog product. So he returned to an alternative drawing for the Minimoog and installed the Sonic V into this. Just few additional features and the Sonic Six was born.
PATHOS The Korg PS-3200 is one of the biggest, rarest and amazing sounding synthesizers ever made. Released in 1978, just few hundreds of units were manufactured during the following four years. It has been used by artists like Hans Zimmer, J.M. Jarre, Emmerson Lake & Palmer, John Miles, Rick Wakeman, Tangerine Dream and by other legendary artists and synthesizer pioneers.
SIGMAN In the late 70's Korg experimented with a machine for players looking for a simpler alternative to knobby synthesizers. The result was the Sigma, a bi-timbric semi-preset synth with rocker-tabs, micro knobs and two X-Y joystic controls. The Korg Sigma is based on 19 VCOs grouped in two discrete sections (Synthe and Instrument) that can be cross-modulated and filtered with a LP/HP Filter. Each VCO is equipped with a single dedicated control including Korg35 filter circuits for shaping the sounds.
SPACE STATION In 1978 a small company called Ursa major introduced a highly sophisticated audio signal processing unit called SST-282 Space Station, one of the first generation of digital reverbs, competing directly with the EMT 250. The SST-282 was described as a "reverberation effect" but that is far from the complete story. Thanks to its design based on multi-tap delay modulation it was able to generate a wide variety of reverb, echo and comb filter effects. This 3U rackmount monster implemented 16 "Audition Delay Programs" (Rooms, Combs, Delay Clusters and Space Repeats) which decide the principal characteristics of the reverb / delay effect.

An homage to Surrealist painter Rene Magritte, one of my favorite artists. Magritte's work often plays with our perceptions of visual reality. I've tried to do that here. Look at the painting and ask yourself: is the box really small? or is the pear incredibly large? Why do you think that?
My passion is Realism, especially close up, with lots of detail. Each painting is a labor of love, and can take from 20 to 75 hours to complete. I've been working full time as an artist since 2004, and attended several art schools in the early 1980's. My work has won awards at the local and national level, and has been published in "American Artist" and "International Artist" magazines. I live near Pittsburgh, PA with my wife, two teenagers, and a small menagerie of animals. Please don't bother using the email form. I don't accept emails from Fine Art America visitors. Thanks.
