Use of Waterstones by Philip Pasteur
m (Protected "Use of Waterstones by Philip Pasteur" ([edit=sysop] (indefinite) [move=sysop] (indefinite)))
m (Removed protection from "Use of Waterstones by Philip Pasteur")
Revision as of 20:03, 14 November 2012
Ok lets start from scratch here. The concept was to try to answer the question "Why Waterstones" I described the knife and the steel above as well as my methodology. To recap, I had sharpened this knife before going through all of the Diamonds to 1000 (I did not use the 50 and 80 grit, started with the 100 grit plates). Then I had run through the four ceramic stones and stropped with i micron on WEPS leather. I liked the edge just fine, but as I will be displaying this knife I wanted a very reflective edge. I went back to the 600 grit diamonds with 50 stroke and up through the 1000 grit diamonds. Then I started with the ceramics. I did about 75 strokes trailing edge, 50 or so leading edge, and finished with about 25 0r so trailing edge strokes at each grade.
(Edit: I did run the Ceramics wet per Clay's suggestion. They "feel" better that way. Rather than his sponge idea, I just lightly spritzed them every 25 strokes or so)
I stopped and took 3 or four photos after the ceramics trying to cover the entire blade. I did this after each grit. After the ceramics, I went back to the 1000 grit Chosera stones, then 2K, 3K, 5K, 10K and finally the 12K Naniwa Superstones. I tried to do the same number of strokes at each grit. I then went to strops at 1 micron and 0.5 microns on leather, 0.125 CBN and 0.1 diamond on kangaroo and finally 0.050 and 0.025 on nanocloth. I actually must have some contamination on my strops. There were more scratches after the 1 and 0.5 micron on leather than after the 12K stone. Somewhere along the line I got some bigger scratches while using the 'Roo and nanocloth. I am not even going to post those photos because they have nothing to do with waterstones...
Now, I know that these are not perfect. I definitely need to work on the camera work. Any and all comments to help me get better are welcome.
I think it is pretty clear, even with the rough camera work and magnification levels that there is a definite difference in the visible scratches after running through the waterstone progression. What is not apparent from these photos is the huge difference in the reflectivity of the bevel. I tried to take pics, but the camera has a hard time teasing out the differences, at least at my skill level. I could take a photo after the ceramics that showed phone book text pretty clearly reflected from the edge. After 12K the difference is pretty amazing to the eye, now you start to see the irregularities in the text. I could not make the camera show this. Also, with the knife in the vice, I would turn the light on overhead, and the eyes were immediately drawn to the edge due to the glinting and multiple reflections.
You need to see it to believe it. If you do, you will start to question it when some talk about using their Lansky with a rough 2K grit to make a real mirror edge.. or at least try to get some kind of definition of what that means to them... or how to measure it.
Anyway, enjoy and comment away.

Panthers QB Newton has hairline rib fractureThe Associated Press | August 25,2014AP Photo
New England Patriots defensive end Rob Ninkovich sacks Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton during Fridays preseason game.CHARLOTTE, N.C. Quarterback Cam Newton will miss the Carolina Panthers final preseason game after an MRI on Sunday revealed a hairline fracture in his ribs.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Monday that Newton will be evaluated at the end of the week, but expects the two-time Pro Bowl quarterback will be ready for Carolinas Sept. 7 regular season opener against Tampa Bay.
I do expect hell play, Rivera said. But he has to get past the soreness. Then we will see how he starts to progress.
Newton did not speak with reporters, but walked gingerly to and from the practice field.
Hes pretty sore and hes hurting right now, Rivera said. It is of concern.
Newton was hit after scrambling from the pocket in Carolinas preseason game Friday night against New England.
The injury came one day after Rivera talked about Newton needing to get down and slide and avoid hits in the open field. Newton was wearing a flak jacket at the time, but was hit in a small opening where there isnt any protection.
That was the only crease in between the protection and, wouldnt you know it, thats the one spot he got it, Rivera said.
Newton has never missed a regular-season start in his three seasons with the Panthers.
Newton has run for 2,032 yards and 28 touchdowns in three seasons.
We expect him to get past the soreness the next few days and be able to do a lot more, Rivera said.
Rivera said the injury to Newton likely means the Panthers will reconsider whether to keep three quarterbacks on the teams roster.
He said the injury increases Joe Webbs chances of making the team as the No. 3 quarterback behind Newton and primary backup Derek Anderson.
In other injury news, middle linebacker Luke Kuechly wore a small cast on his right hand after suffering a sprained thumb, but did go through drills Sunday. Starting left tackle Byron Bell was held out with an illness, but veteran safety Roman Harper returned to practice for the first time since the start of training camp. Harper has been bothered by a turf toe injury.MORE IN Wire SportsGREEN BAY, Wis. Clay Matthews understood why everyone was so concerned.

Continuing a weight lifting program into later years saved my father's life.
Heres a little motivator for all you aging people who might be questioning the point of all your hard work at the gym.
On Sunday my 50 year old father took a bad dump in the surf ripping muscles all the way up his back, breaking two vertibra and the top thick rib. After working a day he decided to get it checked out by a doctor and the doc was completely certain that if my father wasn't in such good condition for his age that accident would have resulted in at best case quadaplegia, worst case death (or otherway around?). He's already gone and bought his personal trainer a bottle of wine.
So keep up the weight lifting guys, you may not be needing fit bodies to woe young girls but the benefits from keeping up a strength regime are very real.

I hope your dad recovers quickly. He sounds like an awesome guy.
My father is a posterboy(man?) for the long-term benefits of a healthy lifestyle. He never trained as hard as many of us, but he has been very consistent about exercising three or four times a week for most of his life. He turned 63 this year and looks at least ten years younger.I'm not giving you my opinion, I'm telling you how it is.

I'm inspired. I've recently been diagnosed with some herniated disks and the doc(s) want me to stop lifting. Screw that, I'll just try to be more sane around my back.
Heck my dad turned 70 this year and has been lifting weights and quit smoking, and he now looks at least 10 years younger and moves around pretty well for a coot. Just a few years of lifting and working out has seemingly erased most of a lifetime of couch-potato-ship and smoking. good stuff

First things first, good luck to your dad, that's one bad ass dude.
Second, my conditioning coach went to a competition a few months ago and didn't fail any of his lifts but took second to a 75 year old that didn't miss any of his (anyone here familiar with powerlifting competition probably knows why - age is factored into score). That dude is well over a senior citizen and is a flat-out bad ass that probably has a good 30 to 40 years left.
Finally, my friend was in a pretty bad motorcycle accident in September (I made a thread asking about resources for amputee athletes on Bullshido); he was a competitive wrestler and power lifter and the doctors, when he was brought in, were certain he would die. He's alive, granted, his left arm was lost in the process and he's recovering at an insane rate. Why? According to every doctor that's seen him, it's because he was in excellent shape just prior to the accident...and he was wearing protective gear; but the recovery speaks for itself.
Style: MMA, Yoga--
Nice to see your other positive stories guys, i think too many people lead an incredibly fit life to their mid 20s then drop all exercise from there on, hopefully i won't be one of them.
I'd buy you a beer for him bearf*cker but the man only drinks his terrible tasting homebrews and wine :). I think he skips some of the steps because it comes out tasting worse than a pub which hasnt cleaned it's pipes in years.

Both Microsoft and Google added widgets for translating your web page into another language. The feature was already available at BabelFish, but the site makes a major faux-pas by using flags to represent languages.
Microsoft's widget (the second one from the screenshot) uses a translation system from Systran and offers 25 language pairs. The widget seems to work only in Internet Explorer and it consists of a dropdown that includes the message "Translate this page" in the available languages.
Google's widget uses a machine translation system developed by Google, that's available for 29 language pairs. The widget works in most browsers and it's actually a Google gadget loaded in an iframe. What I don't like about this widget is that Google cares so much about its branding that it includes a logo for "Google Translate", a link to information about embeddable gadgets and an option to "get this gadget". Microsoft doesn't add any branding to the widget.
Even if it's not flawless, Google's translation system is more scalable and we should see more languages added in the future. And maybe there are better options than adding a translation widget to your page: a mechanism built in your browser that automatically translates all the web pages to your native language or to a language you know.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- University of Tennessee at Chattanooga senior Kayla Christopher (Oliver Springs, Tenn.) drained the first of three consecutive 3-pointers past the midway mark of the second half, to spark a 14-0 UTC run capped off by freshman Red Payne's (Memphis, Tenn.) trey propelling the Lady Mocs to a 74-68 win over UNCG at the McKenzie Arena Monday night.
The win was Chattanooga's 11th straight this season and 24th consecutive at the Roundhouse. The Lady Mocs improve to 21-3 overall and 14-1 in Southern Conference play. The Spartans, fresh off an upset win at Samford, fall to 5-18 on the year and 2-12 in league action.
Christopher started the run with a defensive rebound. She fed freshman Tatianna Jackson (Atlanta, Ga.) on the fast break, but the shot wouldn't fall. Junior Ashlen Dewart corralled the rebound but was surrounded by defenders. She fed it to Christopher in the left corner who snapped the nets and brought the crowd to its feet giving the Lady Mocs the lead for good at 51-50 with 8:40 to play.
Christopher nailed her second from the same corner just moments later and got her third in the run after a timeout with 7:10 to play putting Chattanooga up 57-50. Dewart converted an inbounds pass for a layup followed by Payne's 3-pointer to give the Lady Mocs their largest lead of the game at 62-50 with 4:55 to play.
Chattanooga would hit the 12-point mark twice more in the closing minutes, but the Spartans were able to cut it to six with four seconds to play on a layup from Janae' Stevenson.
Four Lady Mocs hit double figures led by Christopher's 20-point effort and five assists. She was 5-of-10 from beyond the arc and now has 216 career 3-pointers, tied with former Lady Moc Katasha Brown (2002-06) for second on UTC's all-time list and third in the Southern Conference.
Dewart recorded her fourth double-double of the year with 19 points and 10 rebounds. In her first start, Jackson was 4-of-8 from the field and 3-for-3 from the free throw line for 11 points and eight rebounds, five offensive, and four assists. Junior Faith Dupree (Knoxville, Tenn.) put in 10 points in just 12 minutes with a pair of assists. Combined with her performance Saturday, she has 21 points in just 19 minutes over two games. Payne had four assists and four steals on the night to go along with her three points and two rebounds.
The Lady Mocs started slow again, allowing UNCG to get out to an early lead. UTC battled back to get up front seven straight points from Dewart to make it 9-6 at the 15:32 mark of the early period. Over the next 2:19, there would be two ties and two lead changes. UTC grabbed the lead with 13:13 on the clock on a layup by Jackson to make it 16-14, but the Spartans would not go away.
Chattanooga's largest lead of the first half was 27-20 at the 5:22 mark on a 3-pointer by Christopher but UNCG's Jessica Collins would hit two of her four first-half 3-pointers to give the Spartans a 32-31 lead at the break.
The lead bounced back and forth over the first few minutes of the second half but UNCG forced five Chattanooga turnovers and outscored UTC 7-0 to take a 43-37 lead with 13:47 to play. The Lady Mocs got the next seven points with Dupree hitting a layup and Christopher putting in five to put UTC back out front, briefly, at 44-43.
Collins answered with her fifth 3-pointer of the game to retake the lead, 46-44. After two more ties and two more UNCG leads, Christopher started the 14-0 run and Chattanooga never trailed again.
Chattanooga outrebounded UNCG 42-23 with 19 offensive boards for 19 second chance points. The teams were evenly matched in the paint with 40 points apiece and the Spartans forced 19 UTC turnovers for a 17-14 advantage in points off turnovers. The Lady Mocs had a season-high 21 assists and got huge numbers from their bench for a second straight night, outscoring UNCG 17-3.
Next weekend, Chattanooga will make its final trip to the College of Charleston for a SoCon matchup as the Cougars are departing for the CAA next season. The game is set to tip off at Noon and will be carried online at ESPN3.com. Larry Ward, the "Voice of the Lady Mocs" will have the call live on ESPN 105.1 "The Zone" and live stats will be available at GAMEDAY CENTRAL at GoMocs.com.

stretching most effective in increasing muscle fiber number
Hey check this out, I was doing research finding out how to induce hyperplasia. Through research, chronic strecthing was the most effective method in animals. Of course humans are much different, but the study still proves interesting.
check out this table, and the discussion near the end of the study.
Re: stretching most effective in increasing muscle fiber number
Cool articles -- thanks
Re: stretching most effective in increasing muscle fiber number
Don't quote me on this, but I had seen those studies a while back and I looked for what they meant by chronic stretching. It seemed to me that they meant that the muscle was stretched all day long in order to get those results.
Re: stretching most effective in increasing muscle fiber number
I actually took the time to look it up yesterday. "Intermittent stretching" was attaching a weight to the bird's wing for 30 minutes (once a day maybe?) and had no real results.
Chronic stretching (which had amazing hyperplastic tendencies) was attaching the weight for -- get this -- 30 DAYS STRAIGHT. Wow.
Sounds like maybe it's not so easy to acheive hyperplasia, eh?
Re: stretching most effective in increasing muscle fiber number
ahahahahaha, Oh man I laughed when you said that dashforce, 30 days. Oh wait a minute, thats pretty cruel.
I laughed because I was thinking how a human could obtain these results. Then I imagine some dude holding a weight over his head for 30 days.
Hrmmmmm..... ok
I looked over the chart again. Intermittent stretching actually resulted in a loss of fibre number. And weight training had a high moderate to medium increase, where as chronic stretching had a large increase.
So unless you got 30 days to spare, I would stick with weightlifting.
Re: stretching most effective in increasing muscle fiber number
I was thinking about this last night -- here's an idea.
The weights that they added were aprox. 10% body weight.
So -- if I can put about 16 lbs of muscle on each forearm, I should get some serious bicep hyperplasia, right?
Re: stretching most effective in increasing muscle fiber number
Streching is not necessarily responsible for hyperplasia, but it can certainly facilitate hypertrophy.
From a physiological standpoint John Parillo believes that the deep fascia is the main concern of the bodybuilder to target, and Millwards research leads him to believe that the endomysium and perimysium are chiefly responsible for the restriction of muscle growth. The great news is that the same techniques for expansion of the fascia, work for the expansion of the endomysium and perimysium.
How To Expand The Fascia for Enhanced Muscular Size and Shape!
At this stage I am going to have to issue one of my essential warnings. If you do not have a high pain threshold I would not suggest reading any further. The methods discussed here are extremely painful, and only an athlete with the mentality of a warrior will have the guts it takes to apply the following principles! However, when the smoke clears, you will have a greater capacity for growth, a fuller muscle, and greater separation between body parts!
Again, our goal, as D J Millward puts it is to create a larger bag. In order to accomplish this feet we will need to stretch the connective tissue beyond its previous limits, cause damage and then allow it to heal in such a way that it grows back larger then it was previously. There are four factors involved in fascia stretching.
1. Heat
If you are intent on truly mimicking muscle memory, you must not only stretch the fascia, but you must do it in an absolutely perfect environment or you will not reap even near optimal results! The first factor mentioned above was heat. You see a cold muscle has a limited range of motion. Our goal is to stretch the fascia past its previous limits and this cannot take place if range of motion is limited. Therefore you must adequately warm up before performing the techniques discussed shortly.
2. An incredible blood pump
Everyone here understands the extreme power of fluid! Whole canyons have been carved from water erosion! The same principle is applicable here. A tremendous back flow of fluid in a muscle group will stretch the connective tissue that restricts muscle growth. In other words the greater the pump, the more direct and effective the stretch in the fascia, epimysium, and perimysium will be!
3. Insanely Extreme Stretching
The third and most painful step in fascia expansion, is to manually stretch it. This entails stretching the target muscle group with insane intensity! By doing this you will force the girdle which inhibits enhanced mass, and enable further growth in the myofibrils( the largest aspect of a muscle fiber ).
4. Recovery!
Unfortunately, like every aspect of bodybuilding, we must have enough will power to allow the area worked to recover. You see, the pump, combined with extreme manual stretching will damage the connective tissue. In order for it to grow back and be remodeled as Millard puts it, into a larger bag, it must have a significant enough time to recover. This is not only a painful process, but like any type of extreme training is also stressful, and needs significant time to recover.
Now that we understand the factors involved in fascia expansion, we must apply them in an organized fashion in order to reap incredible results!
~Jacob Wilson, Can You Use The Muscle Memory Phenomenon, Without Ever Having The Muscle?
Stretching deeply for around 30 seconds at a time should help loosen the connective tissue surrounding the muscle and give it more room to grow. This approach is also more practical than stretching for 30 days straight.
Stretching exercises might help induce hyperplasia:
Stretch Overload - Hyperplasia has also been shown to be induced by exercises that enhance the stretch! Examples of these would be preacher curls, weighted sissy squats etc. The key is to employ the one and a half repetition method! If you were to perform a preacher curl, you would perform two reps on the lower half of the exercise. A perfect example of this is shown with Arnold Schwarzenegger's pectorals. He could touch the ground when performing dumbbell flys and I believe he is a clear case of hyperplasia success!
~Jacob Wilson, Physiological Aspects of Physique Building Part 1
I think the best methods for stimulating hyperplasia are eccentric movements and blitzing. I'm not convinced that stretching will encourage hyperplasia, but it will help with hypertrophy.

Dr. Michelle Schmude, chair of the mass communications department at King's College, recently published an article titled, "Growth and Sustainability Through Test Optional Admission Policies," in the "International Journal of Sustainable Strategic Management."
The Campion Literary Society at King's College will host a pair of free public events for people interested in creative writing. The events include a writing workshop on the craft of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction, and an opening reading to share original work.
For the fourth consecutive year, King's College has been recognized as among the best master's degree granting institutions in the country in a national ranking which recognizes higher learning institutions for service to the community and social mobility of the student body.
The rankings appear in the September/October issue of "Washington Monthly" magazine. The rankings were based on three evenly weighted selection criteria; social mobility, service, and research.
King's College will host free screenings of the films "Made in L.A.," "Eyes on the Prize – No Easy Walk," and Glory" as part of the Third Annual King's College Diversity Film Festival at 7 p.m. on Sept. 18, 25, and Oct. 2, respectively, in the Burke Auditorium, William G. McGowan School of Business, on N. River St.
Nine local residents were among the 41students who recently completed the physician assistant studies master's degree program at King's College and received their degrees at the College's annual summer commencement ceremonies.
The Class of 2013 is the 36th graduating class of the King's Physician Assistant Program, the longest established program in Luzerne or Lackawanna County.
King's College will host a free public celebration of the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, August 29, on the third floor of the Sheehy-Farmer Campus Center.
The highlight of the event, titled "MLK: 50 Years of an Unforgettable Dream," will involve Ronald Felton, president of the Wilkes-Barre Chapter of the NAACP, reenacting the speech delivered at the Lincoln Monument in Washington, D.C., in 1963.
Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer José Galvez will display a collection of photographs exploring the lives of Hispanic women in a free public art exhibition, titled "Latina," from Sunday, Sept. 8, through Sept. 14 in the Widmann Gallery at King's College. Galvez will discuss his works during a free public lecture at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11, in Burke Auditorium of the William G. McGowan School of Business on N. River St.
The students entering their final year of the master's degree physician assistant studies program at King's College recently began their clinical rotations. A twelve-week rotation in family medicine and separate six-week rotations in medical specialties including emergency medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, psychiatry, and general surgery will conclude with their graduation from the program in August 2014.
King's College Physician Assistant (PA) Studies faculty members Kyle Fetterolf, MPAS, PA-C; Jocelyn Hook, MPAS, PA-C; and Lorraine Novinger, MS, PA-C, recently passed the Physician Assistant National Recertification Exam (PANRE).

NICEVILLE — Powered by a three-run fourth inning the Niceville High School baseball team beat Crestview 3-0 Thursday in the championship game of the District 1-7A tournament.
Crestview opens state tournament play Wednesday on the road in Tallahassee against District 2-7A champion Chiles in the region quarterfinals. Niceville hosts Lincoln on Wednesday in the region quarterfinals.
Bulldog Coach Tim Gillis was hoping for the win and the opportunity to open the playoffs at home, but the veteran coach knows anything can happen in the post season.
"The bottom line is we are in the playoffs," he said. "Last year we won the district championship and Mosley had to go on the road (in the playoffs). And Mosley ended up playing for the state championship.
"It can happen."
Through three innings Niceville pitcher Will West and Crestview's Corey Armstrong matched each other pitch for pitch.
Things changed in the bottom of the fourth when the Eagles sent nine batters to the plate and scored the only runs of the game.
Andrew Engle was safe on an error to lead off the inning. Drew Frederic followed with a single. A Cody Moore double to left field scored Engle and Frederic.
Niceville continued the fourth inning onslaught with a single off the bat of Tyler Head that moved Moore to third. Moore scored on the back end of a double steal as Head was thrown out at second for the first out of the inning.
Zack Shields and John Secord singled and it looked as if the Eagles would break the game wide open.
Armstrong got Brady Smith to pop out to second before Spencer Rackley singled to load the bases.
The inning ended with Zander Huff ground out to Armstrong.
"They got six hits in the inning and we were fortunate they only got three (runs) out of that," Gillis said. "But give them credit they did a good job. I thought we hung in there and battled.
"Corey did a great job of getting out of trouble and giving us a chance to be in the game still."
Down by only three runs the Bulldogs were still very much in the game, but Crestview batters were unable to get to West.
West worked into the sixth inning before giving way on the mound to Drew Dungan with one out and Hunter Sullivan and Matt Gillis on base.
Armstrong grounded out to short to move Sullivan to third base and Gillis to second base. The inning ended with Sullivan and Gillis in scoring position when Austin Armstrong was called out on strikes.
Colter Hancock led off the Bulldog seventh, but was thrown out at second base trying to stretch the hit into a double.
Niceville finished the game with seven hits.
The Bulldogs had four hits. Sullivan had two hits, Hancock a hit and Matt French had a hit.
"We hung in there and battled," Tim Gillis said. "It was a good high school baseball game. They got it done and we didn't."

Shaytee Gadson vividly and honestly tells his family's life story in "Hallelujah in Hollywood – A True Hollywood Story," sharing intimate details about his turbulent childhood, precarious college years and life as a single African American dad raising two young girls. Born and raised in Hollywood, Gadson's recollection of his younger days captures your heart as he paints an uncomfortable picture of a young boy's quest to understand the adulterous relationships, politics and sin that surround him.
He opens up about his parents' relationship and unconventional marriage, his older brother's addiction to crack cocaine and his sister's inner strength to overcome the pressures of being extremely obese. Among many highlights in the book, Gadson sets the spotlight on his alcoholic father, Herbert Gadson, who rises from the ashes of poverty to become mayor of his hometown. Readers follow intently as Mayor Gadson constantly faces his addiction of alcohol, sex and power.
In his first novel, Gadson paints a picture of life surrounded by constant fire and brimstone, scandal and prayer. His mother, the town's First Lady, prays her way through life while using every ounce of faith to try and save her husband and those in need around her. Even though the book's setting isn't the popular West Coast Hollywood, it certainly has all the same characteristics – plots, drugs, politics, sex, characters and yes, even the press and attention.
Copies of the book and a Kindle version are available for download at Amazon.com.

Dear Editor:
Thank you and you're welcome. In the November General Election, the voters of Boone County once again showed their support for the eight county fire departments by passing the Boone County Fire Levy. This levy is the primary source of income for all eight departments. Without this levy in place, obtaining the necessary funds to perform the duties as you've grown to expect would be nearly impossible.
Over the years, with compounding regulations, restrictions, oversight and mandates, it has become more and more expensive to operate a volunteer fire department. Through your support, the fire departments within Boone County will be able to continue to operate.
Thank you, voters of Boone County for supporting your local volunteers.
John Holstein, President
Boone County Firefighter's Mutual Aid Association

Innate MC2
Well designed, well made by an ethical company, versatile and stylish. What more could you ask for? Our go-to for all our lunches at the ski hill. The container is secure, sleek and the microwavable lid make it perfect for heating up almost anything. We always keep one in the car for the dog's water. Love, love, love the versatility of this container. Our friend even has one rigged to his snowmobile to keep his lunch warm when getting into the backcountry. Get one...hell, get three! You will use… Full review
Innate MC2
A great everyday food container for camping, taking lunch to work and storing leftovers in the fridge! This food container is the perfect size. Both top and bottom are easy to clean and seal very well together. Soup, salad, lasagna, any food is great to keep in this, especially with the vacuum-like seal. The top is thick enough to be durable, while soft enough to be easily foldable in and out repeatedly. Full review
Coghlan's Six Egg Holder
This is a lot of fun!!! It holds just enough eggs to make whatever you need on a trip or a nice omelet after an overnighter. We've put this thing through a few trips and no broken eggs! I have dropped it a time or too also. It is just a neat idea! This 6 egg holder is the perfect size, the dozen is a little bit too big for our liking maybe for car camping, but if you want more I would recommend this with the extra 2 egg holder from Coghlan.

Nalgene Multi-Purpose Vial Kit
Very handy. Perhaps not a million uses, but more than I could list here. All have been 100% leakproof regardless of what they were used to carry. Repackaging items from larger containers into these have lightened my load considerably. I don't know what I would do without them now. Full review
Coleman 12-Count Egg Container
Actually, I use this item, (really, I own two) at home. It's easily available from "Wally World"--it's practically a "fixture" there! I dislike relying upon flimsy, dirty egg cartons. Each side has a "handle." When the unit is "locked" together, the handles come together to form a thicker one which keeps the sides together well when carried. (Remember though, that the catches work via simple friction. A little attention is necessary to keep the sides from opening up accidentally.) I dock a star… Full review
Kondos Outdoors Food Pack
We are avid canoe-campers in the BWCA and had tried many different ideas for storing and transporting food and kitchen gear along with keeping an eye on value. We came across this food pack with the corrugated plastic liner and thought we would give it a try. If nothing else, we figured we could use the pack for carrying other items if it did not work out - but happily it was a wise choice for us! The corrugated plastic liner is made from recycled plastic, which is very cool! And can be recycled… Full review
Nalgene Travel Kit - Medium
I bought one of these because I needed 2 bottles, but since I have used most of them. They don't break in the cold, they don't leak and I have not found anything that you would put in them to bring camping that makes them hard or brittle. They are one of those handy things to have around. I would recommend these to a friend. Full review

Before everyone gets all excited about this, keep in mind that the Hero Engine is not at all designed for "open world" gameplay. It's more like GW2 design, where you have some decent zone sizes conencted with loading screens.
Also, the $99 a year is a great place to start, but there are some pretty hefty licensing fee's if your game ever goes live, and charges people. Something like 35% of all profits go directly to them, if I remember.

*Everyone dies, not everyone really fights*
I think this is a very good thread.
While making an MMO is indeed a quite complex endeavor I think Off the shelf engines can at least help many to get a clear idea or what is involved. And you never know who can come up with some good ideas in the process and why not even a game or two.
Plenty of people have good ideas, but othen no guidance on how to make them a reality, and off the shelf engines can help in giving thet guidance, even if it does not pan out, at these prices it is accessible even for experimenting, learning, getting some experience. Worse case scenario you will make nothing with it, moderate case scenario a nice single player game can come out of it, a better case a small MMO, or as the OP states, a Proptotype for a trylly great MMO.
There are many engines out there but this is a list from Gamasutra:
Torque Game Builder, Garage Games
You can look them up.
None of this can be negative for anyone, it is but positive, and like it happened in so many other fields, success is not bound by only One way of doing things.

If you write your own ENGINE great but your a fool, Most that do fail , they spend to much money on building it and time and then its out of date, if its small scale great go for it. But the way the industry is going, soon you will barely need programmers.... Heck now you barely do besides for Networking and some advance AI, etc..... By the way Programming and Scripting are two different things.....you can get alot more work done at a faster rate with the current Engines, I have worked With Hero, UDK, Unreal there is a difference, Unity , Cry 2 and 3. Plus many many more, to sit there and say this to funny, right now I work with a company that uses Hero and its an MMo. Do your research and you will know which ones use it....
Unity also can make a MMo and do fine, its great for IOS and such but just as good with Mmo's heck Unreal can do MMo's it can be done and has, I would not advise it since there are better ones for MMo's Hero being one, but its a great engine.
Funny post, I love when gamers think... They know about Game Design when they have no clue..
@ XapGames your SIg is so true... But I'm more on the Artside , but I code , Script as well... But I do more art work then anything, I do know C#, C++ Java, FLASH, LUA, a few others, but I'm an Environment Artist, Texture artist . I do alot of free lance work to.. of Modeling etc...

$50 your mmo will fail or it wont even come into frution. im guessing your company is a bunch of friends and you guys think you can make a mmo. good luck with that.
you are clearly biased as you are already locked into development with hero engine. has repopulation even been released?
writing your own engine is foolish? this is the most dumb thing i have heard. how about you have a look at what happens in the real world. most big games have been built of in house engines custom made for that game. diablo, starcraft, warcraft, WoW, gw2, battlefield, CoD, halflife even indie games such as minecraft have their own custom engine. wtf are you smoking?
no serious mmorpg dev or businessman will use these hobby toy engines.
1. first of all UDK/hero engine ask for ~30% of your profits.... that is a huge amount of money. get a proprietary license and pay the ~ < $1 mil fee once off and get access to source code etc etc (i would buy unreal over hero ; track record, superior tech etc)
2. without access to source code you wont have much control over how the game engine works and your game will suck

Edit: Good Lord the WoT bug got me, TL;DR version: Its a good engine to learn game building, use Unity or Unreal if you want to market and sell your game.
If you want to learn how to build a game its probably one of the best engines to learn how to build a game on. It can still do things in development that other engines just dont do effectively. If you want to make a comercially viable game its not a great engine. Here's why from my experience. Simutronics/HeroEngine/IdeaFabrik never built a game with their own engine. They started but never finished it. This never gave them real world experience (as a company) to be able to know how to develop updates, market and support clients using their engine. Unreal has this and is able to support their customers with real examples of how to overcome a multiude of developer issues that devs may not know will come up. Early on, Bioware took the Hero engine from Simutronics and the two companies went separate ways. This hurt HeroEngine substantially in that their brand was married to a early version of their engine that was just a shell of what it is now. What Bioware did with it and the SWTOR outcome is on Bioware IMO, not on HeroEngine. The outcome for Hero was that they had no idea the issues that real devs experience with their engine but alot of bad press. It was a bad business move in my opinion to give away untested tech and not partner with a developer.
In addition to that, their relationship with many of their devs had been advesarial early on. Rather than work with their devs over the past 4 years they were largely confrontational. They often made code base changes that dramatically affected devs with little or no notice. One example is some time in early 2011 they changed the memory management of the engine as they transitioned from a engine focused on MMO's to an engine focused on "cloud" games. I dont know why they did this other than that cloud games have a smaller footprint than MMO's (larger client based MMO's like SWTOR et al, not web games with a 1GB client) and they would not need to dump the memory on the same scale. This would allow smaller games to have an unending feel if developed correctly. Prior to this change the engine would dump memory (similar to what wow/gw does) for zones that you are no longer in. This prevents the RAM from getting loaded and crashing the game. If you want to see what I mean load your favorite MMO and look at the memory performance. It should go up and down as you load unload areas. After the change the engine didnt dump memory effectively. It just kept loading and loading til crash.
As the MMO market dried up, HeroEngine pretty much all but abandoned the previous MMO Engine design (larger games) and started to move to support cloud/mobile gaming. At the same time, as Unreal wanted to stem the Unity tide (which was making inroads in mobile and 3D gaming) Unreal released a 30% revenue share, develop for free to start model. Hero followed with the same thing. Unfortunately for Hero, they didnt have the knowledge/examples of making a game, marketing a game, and supporting a game with their engine like Unreal does. You can do the $99 thing with Unreal with no royalty for the first 50k or so, then its like 25% after. Unreal and Unity both have many successful titles that make them very viable to actually get your game out there and sold.
Unreal and Unity both offer many additional support options for Graphics, AI, systems, code optimization and tech support that Hero just doesnt have the resources to match. Hero Engine is very easy to use, the coding isnt simple or optimal but managable. But if you really want to get your game out the door, you may want to start with another engine. I am currently using Unity as Unreal is more of a cannon and I dont really need that firepower for what I want to do now. Sorry for the reality check, just my two pennies.

Now you've gone and lost the plot. Unreal is NOT a good engine for mmos.
You cannot make large open spaces without sufering instability, and it cannot handle large amounts of people online at the same time.
See APB for an example of an Unreal mmo. Even better, see Mortal Online.
EA CEO John Riccitiello's on future microtransactions: "When you are six hours into playing Battlefield and you run out of ammo in your clip, and we ask you for a dollar to reload, you're really not very price sensitive at that point in time...We're not gouging, but we're charging."

So let me get this straight. The problem with writing your own game engine is that it will be outdated? But if you use the DirectX 9.0c Hero Engine (welcome to 2005!), that's not outdated? Does Hero Engine offer support for a bunch of custom effects done through geometry shaders? How about extensive use of tessellation? Post-processing effects done via framebuffer objects, or whatever the DirectX equivalent is? If not, then it doesn't support modern computer graphics, period.
The problem isn't just the DirectX version. It's what you do with it that matters. If you ostensibly use DirectX 11, but don't do anything with it that couldn't be done just as well in DirectX 9.0c, then you're not doing modern computer graphics. Now, there is a fair bit that you can do with older APIs, such as every game ever made before 2007, and a lot of the ones made since then. Using outdated graphics methods isn't the kiss of death for a game. But trying to keep up to date is hardly an argument for using the Hero Engine.
I wanted to create a seamless, round world. Can I do that with Hero Engine, or any other off-the-shelf game engine, for that matter? By writing my own, I could and did. I wanted to use tessellation very extensively, to the extent that turning tessellation "off" is logical nonsense apart from surfaces that are supposed to appear completely flat. Can I do that and still draw whatever shapes I want with Hero Engine or any other off-the-shelf game engine? By writing my own, I could and did. I wanted to have many thousands of trees in my game world, and make every single tree look different from every other. Can I do that with the Hero Engine? By writing my own, I could and did. There's a bunch of other stuff that I want to do that you've likely never seen, but I'd have no hope of shoehorning it into Hero Engine. And I'm pretty sure that I can do a lot of it, though perhaps I shouldn't talk too much while it's still "I think I can" as opposed to "I have done."

People can only go by what they have seen so far fromt he HeroEngine and that means judging it on Warhammer Online,SW:TOR and Faxion OnLine all of which have suffered form poor optimization/performance and constant breaking after patches.

Round as in sphere or round as in a cylinder? How big was it? Did you write in some sort of gravity effect changing where 'down' was? Just curious.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

If I didn't respond to you, chances are you're a idiot.
Not to be contrary for the sake of it, but given my lack of knowledge on developing games , much less an Mmo , from what I've gleaned from this thread do we really want more half-assed Indie mmo teams? I fully believe innovation will start with our Indie developers , but in the last few years I've spent alot of money "supporting" new Indie developers who are trying to make an Mmo. Every one of those developers has disappointed me, they don't seem to understand what they are getting into. ( Granted nor do I ) I say this rhetorically, Do we as the market want to invest our money on studio's utilizing "off the shelf" ( as one poster called it) engines? The market used to be saturated with large studio clones, now it seems its filling to the brim with Indie studio's who are cashing in on our desire for something different, and ontop of that these "off the shelf" engines are simply opening the door wider. The alternatives are to not support any titles, or those from larger studio's with some experience.
Just my thoughts.

It's about 1 km in radius, and drawn such that locally, it looks flat. For purposes of internal computations, it's a truncated icosahedron (the iconic soccer ball shape), and when you cross an edge, it "folds" the faces up so that it still looks flat. And yes, there's massive amounts of fakery done at the vertices to cover up that you "lose" 12 degrees.
Gravity doesn't vary. The idea is that it's a planet, so gravity always pulls you toward the center of the planet, no matter where you are. Kind of like on Earth.

I can definitely see this as being a great tool for indie developers and higher learning institutions as well. Would be a great platform to learn how to program. Not to mention the capability for many parties to work together on the same project. I feel like this will bring about some great projects and seems more affordable than some of the alternatives.
I played WoW up until WotLK, played RoM for 2 years and now Rift.

If an indie studio promises that they're going to do anything and everything to create the ultimate game (Project Universe, I'm looking at you), then of course they're not going to deliver. But if they scale back their ambitions to only doing a few things well--and perhaps things that most MMOs don't do well--that's a lot more doable.

Life - the one and only MMO. All the rest will FAIL!!!!
I dont understend all the programming language that is used in this thread. But to me it looks like the way to rise the profits.
How many people spend $20-50 a month on MMO? How many think that they will create the next WoW? And all they need is $99. Thats very cheap for a dream.

Rated 4.1 out of 5Â by 24 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by studio Another great design by JC.Try them on! After reading some of the reviews, I had serious doubts but I could not remove these from my shopping bag, I kept on looking and looking at them. Also, I am only 5 feet tall and was afraid they would look ridiculously long when pulled up. Finally I just went for them and I am very glad I did. These boots are really cute and they look great! As the others reviewers mentioned, they are more sandy than brown and a great color. The suede is of very nice quality, soft and supple. The sole is white with grey scuff-like enhancements (part of the design and a nice detail). I usually wear a size 5.5 but they do not come in half sizes and there is no size 5 so I ordered the size 6; as expected, they are a little big but I placed gel sole inserts -needed anyway for arch support, there is none- and they were perfect with socks. I needed socks because for some reason a part of one of my toes was rubbing and I did not want the skin to chafe. I sprayed them with suede protector and that is when I noticed that in the back of some of the frayed portion on the side of the leg, there were some blue ink numbers, obviously something that is used during manufacturing. In my boots, it is not a big problem at all, nobody except me noticed them and that was because I was turning them upside down and all they way around to spray every single surface. It did not bother me but I can understand that it might be objectionable to some, that is why I gave them 4 stars instead of 5. They are very, very cute and fun. I have worn them with skinny jeans tucked in and with a dress. Although my legs are thicker than the model's, the shaft is roomy and the boots slouch as shown in the photos when wearing them "bare" . They stay a little higher, although they still slouch a bit, with jeans. They can be worn with tall socks or tights too. I got many compliments wherever I went. I am very glad that I ordered them and had a chance to try them on. Petite girls: they do look great on us too! 9.9.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by shellm Beautimus but..... These boots are gorgeous!!! Some of the reviews I read stated that the color was off, but the ones I received were pretty much the color that is shown. The grey scuff marks around the bottom are weird but doesn't bother me at all. The only 2 issues I have are that on the left boot it can be a struggle to get my heel down into the boot as the heel part of the inside of the boot folds inward. So that's annoying. The second issue is if you want the boots to stay up high and you don't fold up your jeans just right, the boots slide down. So if you're wanting to wear a dress with them well.....ya. I really love them though so of course I'm keeping them! I hope this review helps! 10.1.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Berberry My Sedona Sneaks I bought my Jeffrey Campbell Sedona Moc Sneaks In October of 2012 & I was very pleased by these boot sneaks. I love them they are very Chic & looks very nice if paired with skinny jeans. I only wish the color was like the one in the product picture on this site, but It is different looks kind of grayish, greenish nude in person. I love them anyway. You'd be very happy adding these to your shoe/ boot collection. 11.29.2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bamm Fringe, fringe & more fringe! I was eyeing this sneaker boots for a while. Finally broke down and got em'! As others stated they are not the color in the picture by far. Sand is the color!!! Which is cool w/ me, cause I have a pair of Moccicians that are the actual color in the pictures. I ⤠JC shoes, boots & sneakers he never lets me down. These are a must have for every girl! If you like them, love them, get them! No one else is carrying this sneaker anywhere. ⤠11.2.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CeeCee I Love These Boots! Okay...This is not the color that's pictured. I was disappointed about that but the color that came (sand) was very nice. I'm normally a size 6 1/2 but I sized up to a 7. I consider this to be true to size however. I have other Jeffrey Campbells and I so far wear a 7 but these size 7s have some room for me to put in inserts. These boots are flat like Chucks but curiously, they're not uncomfortable without inserts, however, I'm going to put them in to get some height. I love, love, love these boots! My husband loves them too! He says that he likes the way it falls down when I walk. He says that these boots are so relaxed and not trying to look like they're uptight..haha!! What can I say, my husband has STYLE! I just bought some Jeffrey Campbell boots but this has got to my very favorite! This is strange because I'm short and these boots are flat. They are just too super cool! I'd like to know though... Did anyone ever get that brownish color? I really like it. 9.18.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by shannam comfy cool From the previous reviews, I was pretty worried about sizing but went with my usual boot size 9. I was relieved to find they fit nicely and TTS, this pair, anyway. They're a teeny bit lighter than the photos, suede out (and in the upper), factory mark-free, and almost over knee high on me (5'3) when pulled up. There's no structure other than the sturdy stitching which, of course, makes them very slouchy. Unworn, they're a pile of suede in my closet...they don't have to sit long. I've worn them a several times in a couple of weeks, it's like wearing comfy kicks masquerading as boots. Tons of strangers-stopping-me complements. Not available anywhere else. Don't miss! 9.13.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by travelingirl Fringe fabulous!!!!! These boots are gorgeous! The color is much different in person. Instead of a rust brown, it is a light sandy brown. Very pretty and I actually like it more than the color shown online. The only problem I had with them is that I ordered my usual size 8, and they were a full size too big. Luckily, my sister in law fell in love with them and they fit her perfectly, so I just ordered a 7. They look amazing with everything! I love how they so easily stay slouched down. The sole is not bright white, but it is distressed....LOVE THAT!!! Get 'em girls! You won't regret it! 8.19.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by BMACK38 WAY TOO SMALL I've been a Free People advocate for years and never written a review before. After receiving these Jeffery's I have to write one. I usually wear an 8.5 in his shoes, but ordered a half size up to be safe. I received the size 9 in the mail- although they are cute, they're way too small! Probably 2 sizes too small - I cannot get my foot into them. I own a bunch of other Jeffery Campbell's.. and never had this problem before. After reading the other review, I'm not sure how her's were too big. Obviously the sizing for these boots is messed up. Also, the fridge has hideous orange marker from production marking the backside of the hide - but its showing! - what low quality. These are definitely going back. 8.24.2012

Charlotte, NC (SportsNetwork.com) - Jordan Crawford scored 21 points, Gerald Wallace chipped in with 17, and the Boston Celtics shook off a sluggish start to defeat the Charlotte Bobcats, 96-86, at Times Warner Cable Arena.
Brandon Bass scored 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting and Jeff Green added 13 points with seven rebounds for Boston, which avenged an 89-83 home loss to Charlotte on Nov. 13.
Kemba Walker had a game-high 28 points with six rebounds and five assists, Gerald Henderson netted 20 points and Al Jefferson scored 14 for the Bobcats.
After a Bass dunk with 10:32 left in the first quarter, Boston led 4-3, but Charlotte used an 11-1 run to take a 14-5 lead.
During the run, Boston missed 10 straight shots and was held without a field goal for a 6:27 span. Bass ended the drought after his layup attempt was goaltended by Charlotte's Jeff Adrian.
The Celtics shot 29 percent in the first and trailed 21-14 after the opening 12 minutes.
Boston quickly snapped out of its funk by opening the second quarter on a 19-2 run to take a 33-23 lead at 7:16. The Celtics scored the first 13 points of the quarter before Bobcats rookie Cody Zeller made a jumper at the 8:34 mark.
The Celtics took a 47-38 advantage into the break.
Boston led 56-46 with 8:53 left in the third prior to Charlotte going on a 9-2 run capped by a Henderson three-point play.
Later, following a Jeff Taylor trey, Walker shook his defender on the next trip down and drained a mid-range jumper from the wing to tie the game at 64-64 with 1:29 left.
Boston gained a slim edge over the final minute of the quarter, leading 68-66 heading to the fourth.
The Celtics opened the final stanza similarly to how they opened the second frame, on a nice run that gave them breathing room. Boston started the first 2:45 of the fourth on a 9-0 run after back-to-back buckets from Kris Humphries.
After a Walker 3-pointer cut the deficit, 84-76, Bass hit a deep jumper and Wallace made a layup on the next trip down to give Boston its largest lead of the game, 88-76, with 3:39 left.
Boston shot 9-of-20 (45 percent) from beyond the arc compared to 3-of-9 for

text: According to the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, a 50-year-old Fancy Gap man was fatally injured Tuesday night in a hunting accident in Laurel Fork.Sansford Ray Semones, 50, was shot and killed with a muzzleloader by a juvenile hunting companion, said Jeff Pease, Hunter Education Coordinator for VDGIF in Southwest Virginia. Pease said the Carroll County Sheriffs Department received a call at approximately 5:58 p.m. Tuesday in reference to a hunting accident off Willis Gap Road. A preliminary investigation determined that Semones teenage son shot him after mistaking him for a deer from about 150 yards away, news partner WXII reported. The teens name wasnt released.At that point, the Sheriffs Office contacted the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, who then sent conservation police officers to the scene to investigate. According to Pease, the incident occurred at approximately 5:15 p.m.The hunters were deer hunting. This was late muzzleloader season and they were hunting for deer with muzzleloaders, Pease said. The shooter allegedly mistook the victim for a deer and shot with a muzzleloader and it was a fatal wound.Pease said it was his understanding that the victim was not wearing blaze orange.It is not required to wear blaze orange in late muzzleloader season, Pease said. It would be recommended from a safety standpoint, but not required.Pease said Senior Officer George Shupe is the primary investigating officer in the case, which is still under investigation.

Black Sabbath 1970
Looking for something on my site? Not found it? Try here... it's working now!
Opinions expressed are those of the individual contributor and not those of clarkeology.com.Black Sabbath 11th Apr 1970
Rate Black Sabbath
Tofts was a fairly small club/venue where the main performance area was upstairs in a darkly-lit red and black room. A few 'booths'were dotted around the perimeter and 'pillars' were also dotted about here and there. At the time of the Sabbath gig, I don't think there was a 'stage'-as such- The band performed and set-up on the floor in a corner at the far end of the room. I doubt if the venue could cope with an audience of much more than a 100 or so but it used to get 'packed' and really 'steaming!' - However, on that night, If I recall correctly, there wasn't a huge crowd, but "IT WAS SABBATH, MAN!!" - It was 'manna-from-heaven' for my 'Head; mates and I, dressed in our 'LOONS;' Tie-Dye T-Shirts and Iron Crosses etc.
Outside, TOFTS was painted the same red and black as inside and had a TOP-HAT & CANE painted on the outside above, or below, the venue name. This was a kind of logo for the place. Downstairs, was a bar and 'quiet-area' where you could go to chill-out if the music got too much or you'd imbibed too much or too many 'other optional and recreational substances[?]' - Amazingly, being only 16, we never seemed to have any problems in those years with getting a drink at the bar etc and I don't remember ever being questioned about my age either?
Going back to that night... As I recall there weren't a huge amount of people at the venue and, in fact, my mates and I were only there because we'd missed-out on getting into the Leas Cliff hall to see another Heavy/Prog band... probably someone like GONG? - So, it was really a bonus that we saw SABBATH that night. However, seeing such bands at TOFTS was nothing unusual for that time. I remember if we weren't at the Leas, we'd be at TOFTS and it was quite often a toss-up where we'd go as the 'quality' of bands playing either at the Leas Cliff Hall or TOFTS was equally as good. During this period in the 1970's, I remember seeing at TOFTS: Fleetwood Mac; Stray; Deep Purple [I'm fairly sure?]; Skid Row, and many more. Whilst, at the Leas, we saw: Atomic Rooster; Judas Priest; Curved Air; Uriah Heep; a Very early GENESIS; P.F.M; Rennaissance; and again, many, many more.... Great days!
TOFTS... a Fantastic venue; fondly remembered and sadly missed!

Hey-ho! Annother one of life's 'moments' or 'If only!' - Still never mind eh? It was a great period of my life not only for what I did but for the 'time' itself... Fantastic music; amazing bands and musicians and great friends...
Going back a bit to my earlier post and a consequent reply.... Yes, the Skid Row I referred to WAS the one 'a la Gary Moore' - However, Skid Row were NOT the forerunner of Thin Lizzy.. According to Gary Moore, on last week's Planet Rock Radio, he was playing with Skid Row and was asked, during a break from Skid Row, to replace the guitarist from Lizzy who played on the Whiskey in the Jar single who couldn't make (not sure of the reason?) a subsequent American Tour.
Moore rehearsed with Lizzy (he was only around 17 or 18 at the time, I think he said?); was 'picked' and did the tour and then went back to Skid Row upon his return to the UK. It was only some time after this that he eventually joined Thin Lizzy.
There ya go!
Great site and great to see that there are some other old (Prog) rockers still out there... Maybe some younger ones too?

Just thought, I wonder if Black Sabbath played twice in Folkestone around that time? As the first gig I added here for 1970 was supposedly at the Art College. Not sure where I got that info from, possibly Marmalade Skies... lots of folkestone there...
18 Jul :: 2009 :: Comment / reply
Also, according to the Black Sabbath website: SABBATH ONLINE, which lists Sabbath 'archive' gigs: http://www.black-sabbath.com/tourdates/1970.html - from 1968 - 1971, only Tofts in Folkestone is listed in April 1971. The only other gig nearest is in Lewes, Sussex.... But perhaps others know more? - Steve

I have only seen the American '80s cock rockers Skid Row (not once, not twice, but three times) , and someone's responded to that, and unfortunately that's the top result that came up here when you search for Skid Row. Aha, knew I had it somewhere, I have them down as playing the LCH in 1970.
Look, I even made your youtube post into an embedded video. Always good to have you back here Mick!

I got to meet Gary (nicked his guitar strap - well the one he was wearing, not his personal one you know, just perchance it would magic up my guitar playing...)!
I got to know Brendan (I bet you didn't know he was voted bassist of the year in the NME in 1971ish)? Great guy. Skid Row were hot as hell, we used see them at the old Marquee any time they were playing - happy days...
Btw, I played in Folkestone circa 1970/71 in a band called 'Rockin Pneumonia', yer really, I dunno what venue, nor I bet anyone remembers us? ah well

Fading memory, um yes, well I was 18/19 so it would have been 1971. We did a brill gig in Ramsgate around that time, loads of French students chanting our name outside the venue, which was called.....I'm afraid we were a flash in pan and therefore forgettable If anyone remembers seeing us though, then the Merlot's on me!

M-1 President: If Fedor Says "Yes" I'll call Dana White Myself
Who's going to headline the show?
It is hard to talk about the fight card now. The tournament will be in the beginning of November. It is going be at least four tournaments before China.
Will you sign some Chinese fighters for the show?
Of course we will. Our matchmakers already started to watch the best Chinese fighters.
Will the tournament have some kind of co-promotion?
Our Chinese partners will help us to organize the tournament, but still it will be M-1 Challenge. I would like to admit that the tournament will be the part of International Economic Forum. We are awaiting a lot of high-ranking guests from different countries.
Do you have any more surprises or news for the M-1 fans?
We are going to make12 tournaments this year. Usually it is 10. There will be fights in Kazakhstan, Belarus, and China.
Do you think you can compete with the UFC on the Chinese market?
We are competing with nobody. And Im not going to do this. I know that M-1 fighters are as good as UFC fighters. Otherwise they could not win when they start to fight in UFC.
It is a lot of space in China; I think every organization can find its place and viewers there.
How is Fedor doing these days?
Fedor is doing well. He is an Advisor of Sport Minister in Russia. He is doing a lot for MMA development in Russia. He is visiting many Russian cities, gives master-classes and watches MMA competitions.
Did Fedor give up the thought of coming back?
I really want him to come back. He is full of energy and strength. But as a real champion he made the decision to finish his sports career.
Have you given up the thought of Fedor's comeback?
I think he could continue fighting. But he made a decision.
If Dana White called you now, asking if you could help him make the Fedor vs. Brock Lesnar fight come true, would you help him?
He called me about a year ago. But Fedor decided to finish his career. If Fedor says yes Ill call Dana White myself. That could be a spectacular fight.
Have you seen Dan Henderson vs. "Shougun" Rua? Did you like the rematch between them?
Henderson proved in that rematch that he stays one of the best fighters in the world. I think he will win many fighters in the future.
