Superfan Don Hynek Takes Long Road To Target Center
Alex Conover
Web Editorial Associate
Some Lynx fans might think that driving to Target Center from Duluth or Rochester is a long commute.
Don Hynek's drive to see his favorite WNBA team makes those distances seem like a walk down the block.
Hynek has found a way to come to every Lynx home game except for two, driving all the way from his hometown of Richmond, Va. That's 18 hours, or exactly 1,208 miles. True to form, he was at Target Center on Friday for Game 1 of Minnesotas Western Conference Semifinals series against Seattle.
Born and raised in Fergus Falls, Hynek had plans to attend the University of Minnesota in 1963 until he took a detour and joined the military. A 30-year veteran, he is now retired and has worked part-time at Home Depot for the last 18 years to stay busy along with his cross-country travels.
"I've only missed a couple home games, that's all," Hynek said.
With his father being elderly, Hynek's trips to Minnesota serve as a bonding experience as well as a chance to cheer on the Lynx.
"He's 91 years old," said Hynek. "He came to two games in August. When there are multiple games in a row, I stay with him in Fergus Falls."
Hynek's appreciation for the Lynx started with Lindsay Whalen.
"I followed Whalen ever since she was in college," Hynek said. "I like her style of play, I like the way she handles the team. I was a season ticket holder with the Connecticut Sun, and then when she got traded to Minnesota, I came up for a couple games, sitting in different places. This year I said, 'I want to sit where I want to sit,' so now I'm right behind the bench."
Now that he's positioned in a great seat, Hynek is ready to see another playoff run.
"I'm just hoping they repeat," Hynek said. "I think they're more prepared, because last year it was new to them. I think they are going to do it."

Make no mistake…substitute teachers earn considerably less than regular certified classroom teachers. In my school district, subs earn $60 a day and certified 'highly qualified' new classroom teachers earn close to $40,000 a year. However, you have to compare and contrast the pros and cons if you decide to sub.
Substitute Teachers Autonomy and Benefits
Substitute teachers choose daily when and where they work. In my school district, we use SubFinder, a computerized employee placement system that allows subs to call on the phone or access sub jobs through the Internet. You choose which schools, which grade levels, and what days you will work based on available jobs. However, regular classroom teachers are contracted to work in one classroom, with the same students all semester, for at least one year, unless they get fired, sick, or take an extended leave of absence.
Unlike student teachers in a teacher education program in college, substitute teachers manage their own classes for that entire day. Student teachers must work under the direct supervision of cooperating teaching mentors. Substitute teachers often have to create emergency lesson plans in case none are left by the regular teachers. This is why I advise subs to come to work at least 30 minutes early in case you have to create lesson plans to keep students busy bell-to-bell.
Many parents choose to work as subs in school districts close to where they live, work in schools where their children attend school, and often work with school officials that taught them. I often walked to work as a sub, and knew most of the parents and school staff at the schools I worked at. Familiarity with school climates, culture, personnel and community is good for you when you're a sub or regular teacher.
Pros and Cons of Subbing.
Besides employment autonomy, subs can choose to go online and pursue teacher certification while you work on-call or full-time as subs. I completed a master's degree in Secondary Education online from the University of Phoenix while I subbed daily.
The Pros to completing a teacher certification program online is that you can go to class online during hours of the day or night when you feel most comfortable, and relaxed. Trying to commute to college in person often conflicts with your work schedule. You don't have to worry about parking, student traffic issues, professors with conflicting attitudes, and possible school violence issues when you attend classes online in the safety of your homes. Hopefully, you don't have any deranged or violent family members.
Another benefit of subbing is that subs can join the National Education Association (NEA) for significantly reduced union member dues, and receive outstanding employee benefits. I paid $50 a year to join NEA. Recently, the Birmingham American Federation of Teachers (BAFT) approved its membership category to allow subs to pay only $10 a month, and receive full employee benefits.
I am also a member of AEA (myaea.org), BAFT (aft.org), National Substitute Teachers Alliance (nstasubs.org), Substitute Teacher Institute (stedi.org), and President of the Birmingham Professional Substitute Teachers Alliance (BPSTA). Contact these organizations for more specific information about benefits and issues for subs.
The Cons to going to school online is that you have to rely mostly on huge student loans to complete your education. Secondly, you have to submit your work timely or face stiff academic penalties; you have to sign in to class at least four times a week, and participate substantially in class discussions, and work on teams online with students you can't see. You also have to try and resolve any academic grade issues completely online compared to being able to settle your academic disputes in person with college deans and department heads.
School Accreditation and Certification Issues.
Always ensure that you check first with your State Department of Education to make sure your online teaching certification and degree will be accepted for teaching certification processing in your state, and school district. Usually, the State Department of Education lists which online teacher education programs will be considered/accepted as part of a teacher certificate transfer or reciprocity programs.
An Institutional Recommendation (IR) is not the same as an actual teacher's certificate. However, some school districts may grant you an Emergency teaching certificate or Provisional/Alternative teaching certificate with an IR while you pursue, and complete requirements for a full teacher's certificate. You are usually only able to teach for one year with an Emergency teacher's certificate, and up to three years with a Provisional/Alternative teaching certificate.
I graduated from the University of Phoenix earning two master's degrees in education. There are six regional accreditation agencies in the United States that are responsible for making sure colleges and universities in their geographic regions meet minimum standards before they are granted accreditation. There is also a Birmingham campus of the University of Phoenix in my state in case you want to go to school in-person or online.
Jill Brown wrote in 'go4learning.org' that, 'The University of Phoenix is accredited by the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges, and does have some department accreditation, depending on which program you pursue. The school's master's degree program is accredited by the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC).'
Do you research before you enroll in any online programs. Consider the costs and student loan debts. Consider departmental accreditation issues. Consider your technology skills and family obligations. Consider whether you want to take on full teaching responsibilities after you sub for a while. Most of all, consider whether you have what it takes to change the world, one child at a time.
American businesses are carving out more room for veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan − finally driving the overall unemployment rate for that group into single digits in September. But joblessness for the U.S. women home from war continued to climb, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.
The portion of post-9/11 veterans seeking work fell to 9.7 percent last month, compared to 10.1 percent in August and 11.7 percent in September 2011, according to BLS figures.
However, nearly one out of five women who served in the military at home or abroad during the two wars is now without a job, the new BLS statistics show. As the U.S. troop drawdown continues in Afghanistan, the unemployment rate for post-9/11 female vets surged to 19.9 percent in September, compared to 14.7 percent a year earlier and 12.1 percent in August.
"More women were deployed than ever before but an awful lot of them are single moms who face the challenge of coming home," said John E. Pickens III, executive director of VeteransPlus, a nonprofit that has offered financial counseling to more than 150,000 current and former service members.
And while many companies trumpet their patriotic side by plucking male combat veterans and plunking them into corporate roles, women who served with some of those same guys often are not viewed by employers with the same level of admiration, Pickens has been told my some of his female clients. In short: Women who logged time in the war zones don't earn the same level of prestige - or employability - are do U.S. males who recently were in the line of fire.
A Guy, a Girl, and 366 Straight Days at Disneyland
IF, LIKE Jeff Reitz and Tonya Mickesh, you go to Disneyland often—very often—you know that asking for a roast beef melt made without horseradish, as opposed to a roast beef melt with horseradish removed after the fact, will require a ten-minute wait at the Jolly Holiday Bakery Café. You know that, if conditions are right, you may ride in the wheelhouse of the Mark Twain Riverboat and help steer. You know that if you want to see records of the number of times you've entered the park you must visit Disneyland City Hall. Because you do want to see those records.
"Sometimes it's fun to pull something out of your pocket," Reitz told me. "It was the two of us and one of our other friends one day, and I'm like, 'What you do you guys wanna do?' 'I don't know.' 'Okay. I'll pick the first attraction, and then you guys get to pick.' I said, 'Follow me,' and I led them right through the castle, and there's a walkthrough in the castle, it's a diorama-type setting of Sleeping Beauty's castle, and they're like, 'Hold on a second, this isn't a ride.' I said, 'It's an attraction.' And it is. Most of the rides here in Disneyland are attractions. There are only two actual rides. Like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride."
That is something else you know.
Reitz and Mickesh are friends, not a couple, who go to Disneyland every day. They do it because, at the end of 2011, both received holiday gifts of a $649 annual pass to the park, and both had no job. Mickesh had worked for 18 years at a Santa Ana-based company called Financial Statement Services, Inc. until she was let go in the late spring. As the months of unemployment dragged on, Mickesh grew despondent. Then she shared an idea with Reitz: resolve to go to Disneyland each day of 2012. That way, life, preferably in the form of a job, would be sure to get in the way of the plan. "You know how when you go to a restaurant and you order a meal, and it doesn't come and doesn't come?" she explained to me. "But you get up and go to the bathroom, and it comes."
It worked. In April of this year, she found a full-time job as an assistant operations manager at Dekra-Lite, a design firm specializing in Christmas light decorations, and, occasionally, Halloween. It pays less than her old job did, but it covers basic expenses. Now, in order to stay faithful to her daily-Disney pledge, she drives 14 miles from her house in Lake Forest to Dekra-Lite in Santa Ana, 10 miles from Dekra-Lite to Disneyland in Anaheim, and 15 miles from Disneyland back home. Reitz, for his part, has been less lucky with employment; he gets by on temp gigs. They help cover the child support payments he must make for his teenage daughter in Alaska, where he was stationed as an Air Force firefighter in the 1990s.
Clinton: Election Will Be 'Action Forcing Event' for Washington Political Ticker Blogs
During his presidency, it came in the form of government shutdowns, after which "we began to work together and we had five good years working together," he said.
"We really haven't had an action forcing event like that. I believe the election will be that event. I expect the president to win. And I think if he does, after this happens, then you will see the logjam begin to break."
"I think it will strengthen the hand of, for example, Speaker (John) Boehner, who would make an agreement if the most right-wing of his caucus would let him. I think they will have to think about the consequences of not doing that. I think the same thing will happen in the Senate. I think you will see the gravitational forces of American politics pushing us toward an agreement on the budget and a number of other things."
While he expects Obama to win, Clinton cautioned that getting some of the president's key support constituencies to the polls could be a challenge.
In 2008, Obama "won an enormous victory among people under 30. But they are disproportionately likely now to be unemployed or stuck in part-time jobs, to be frustrated. I think for all kinds of reasons, they're unlikely to vote in large numbers for Governor Romney, but will they vote?"
But the special sequestering was for Romney, not Eastwood. The actor emerged in front of a Man With No Name silhouette drawn across a generic sun-bleached landscape, and started muttering. And kept on muttering. You've been to weddings, right, where the best man starts getting too real, and less funny than he thinks, but everyone's instinct is to root for him and try to find humor? That was what happened.
It might be a mistake to seek meaning from that speech, but Eastwood's ramble came off like a slightly bored swing voter's reasons for rejecting Obama. He was happy that Obama won, but then he realized that lots of people were unemployed. He didn't understand why Obama surged in Afghanistan, when he could have said, "let's leave today"—a position Mitt Romney does not even hold.
I'm spinning this harder than Romney's own campaign team, who stood in that ad hoc hallway and looked increasingly fed up as Eastwood kept talking. They must have realized that an epic moment was occurring, and in the Twitter track/viral/LOL media it would overshadow Romney.
The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell last week, government data showed on Thursday, but remained too high to signal any major improvement in the labor market.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits fell 6,000 to a seasonally adjusted 386,000, the Labor Department said. The prior week's figure was revised up to 392,000 from the previously reported 387,000.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast claims easing to 385,000 last week. The four-week moving average for new claims, considered a better measure of labor market trends, slipped 750 to 386,750.
The labor market has lost a step in recent months as uncertainty spawned by the debt crisis in Europe and an unclear fiscal policy path at home has made businesses reluctant to hire. However, there are no signs in the claims data that companies are responding to that uncertainty by laying off workers.
Jobless claims have barely moved since April and the lack of improvement suggests a fundamental weakness in the labor market.
All this proves is that things are not getting better. We need a new barometer for the state of the economy. New unemployment claims only tell a small part of the story. What about all of the people that are still underemployed or completely unemployed that are either not eligible for benefits (self-employed) or have exhausted their benefits?
Whatever the sob stories about recent college graduates spinning their wheels as baristas or clerks, the situation for their less-educated peers is far worse, according to a report from the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University scheduled to be released on Wednesday. The data comes from a national survey of high school graduates who are not enrolled in college full time, a notoriously transient population that social scientists and other experts had been having trouble tracking. (In the two months since the survey was conducted, a large share of participants have had their phone numbers disconnected and could not be reached.)
For this group, finding work that pays a living wage and offers some sense of security has been elusive.
Yet another segment of the population that is not represented in the rosy economic improvement figures that are being reported. How can they count as unemployed if they've never been employed before? The economic recovery is a long way off in my opinion.
Hundreds of thousands of out-of-work Americans are receiving their final unemployment checks sooner than they expected, even though Congress renewed extended benefits until the end of the year.
The checks are stopping for the people who have the most difficulty finding work: the long-term unemployed. More than five million people have been out of work for longer than half a year. Federal benefit extensions, which supplemented state funds for payments up to 99 weeks, were intended to tide over the unemployed until the job market improved.
In February, when the program was set to expire, Congress renewed it, but also phased in a reduction of the number of weeks of extended aid and effectively made it more difficult for states to qualify for the maximum aid. Since then, the jobless in 23 states have lost up to five months' worth of benefits.
Next month, an additional 70,000 people will lose benefits earlier than they presumed, bringing the number of people cut off prematurely this year to close to half a million, according to the National Employment Law Project. That estimate does not include people who simply exhausted the weeks of benefits they were entitled to.
Would anyone care to wager whether the government reports another significant decrease in unemployment statistics after these 70,000 people are off the unemployment rolls?
Unemployment in the euro zone rose to a new high in March, according to data released Wednesday which is likely to intensify calls for an easing of the region's austerity drive.
Unemployment in the 17 countries that belong to the euro zone rose to 10.9 percent in April from 10.8 percent in March, Eurostat, the European Union statistics agency, said Wednesday. In March 2011, the rate was 9.9 percent, a number that illustrates the deterioration of the area's economy during the last year.
The monthly increase, the 11th in row, translates into more than 17 million jobless people, and is also likely to add to tension ahead of national elections in Greece and France on Sunday.
The votes will be an occasion for citizens to register their discontent at the decline in living standards and public services that has been a consequence of government budget cutting. Leaders could come to power who are unwilling to continue the austerity programs pushed by Northern European countries, especially Germany.
"The grim unemployment figures for March will likely encourage talk about a long-overdue 'growth pact' for the euro zone," Martin van Vliet, an economist at the Dutch bank ING, said in a note to clients.
The figures also illustrated the growing gap between Northern Europe and countries in the south. The jobless rate in Germany was just 5.4 percent as calculated by Eurostat, compared to 24.1 percent in Spain and 21.7 percent in Greece. The Greek figure is based on January data, the most recent available.
However, some economists said there were signs of weakness even in Germany, which has the largest economy in Europe. The Federal Employment Agency, which counts some people as unemployed who are excluded by Eurostat's methodology, said Wednesday the number of jobless people in Germany fell by 65,000 in April to below 3 million, a rate of 7 percent.
After adjusting for seasonal distortions, though, unemployment in Germany rose slightly.
"Compared with most other European countries, the German labor market is still a bright spot," Thomas Harjes, an analyst at Barclays Capital, said in a note. But he added, "Today's figures highlight that the weak economy will not leave the labor market unscathed."

Press Release
Scrap Land Acquisition Act and SEZ Act: 'Jan Sansad' demands 'Sansad'
21 March 2012, New Delhi:
It was the second day at the National People's Parliament that has ben going on in New Delhi's Rajendra Bhawan. Attended by more than 350 people from across 20 states, the Jan Sansad debated two key issues during the day: 1) Agrarian Crisis & Food Security, 2) Assertion of People's Politics, Democratic Governance and Electoral reforms.
In the context of ever-increasing numbers of farmer's suicides and diversion of agricultural land for corporate interests, the Jan Saansads demanded that, laws and policies such as the Special Economic Zone and Land Acquisition Act, which aid the acquisition of fertile agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes, be scrapped with immediate effect. Lowered subsidies, increased use of pesticides and fertilisers, replacing indigenous sources with genetically modified seeds and BT Cotton, and lesser access to resources such as water and power are making it financially unviable for farmers to continue cultivation. "The NSSO's survey shows that in 2005-2006 40% of the farmers were willing to stop cultivation if provided with any other source of livelihood. What does it tell about a government that hires an American consulting firm to prepare the vision document for agriculture in India by 2020?" asked Lingaraj Pradhan from Samajwadi Jan Parishad, Odisha.
This model of development, where agriculture is at the bottom of the pyramid and the service sector is at the top, needs to be challenged and reversed. Strongly advocating against diversion of agricultural land, Dr.Sunilam from Kisan Sangharsh Morcha, Madhya Pradesh said that, "The European model of viewing agriculture as a profit making business does not work in our country. Neither is it feasible to feed our population on imported grains." It is inexcusable that even while taking away land from local farmers, the government is proposing that our farmers cultivate on land in Ethiopia. "The Indian Government is leasing lakhs of acres of land for as low as Rs.40 per acre per year in Ethiopia" said Chennaiah from Agricultural Workers Union (APVVU), Andhra Pradesh.
The session on People's Politics and Electoral Reforms discussed issues in electoral processes and alternatives. Public intellectual and analyst Yogendra Yadav reiterated that there has to be sufficient debate in the Parliament and outside before any bill is passed. Acts such as the AFSPA and UAPA have no room in a democracy. Representing the Campaign for Electoral Reforms in India (CERI), MC Raj pointed out the flaws in the electoral democratic process in India and asked for comprehensive reforms – and not just temporary improvements by the Election Commission. The political representation process has gotten so weak that only the rich and elite could even contest elections to the parliament and assemblies. The Jan Sansad also demanded a process where Gram Sabhas consent, through referendum, will be sought before passing of legislations.
The Jan Sansad observed silence for the sudden demise of Matanhy Saldana, Chairperson of National Fishworkers Forum (NFF), who passed away early in the day. Mr. Saldana had recently won the Assembly elections in and was appointed the Minister of Environment & Forests and Tourism, Goa.

Description of Research ExpertiseThe Murphy laboratory focuses on two tumor suppressor proteins that are commonly mutated in human cancer, p53 and p14ARF. The p53 and p14ARF proteins regulate the processes of cell death (apoptosis) and survival (autophagy), respectively. Apoptosis (programmed cell death) is what Murphy describes as the cell's most important defense mechanism against cancer; this process is kept tightly regulated by p53. In contrast, autophagy (literally, the cell ingesting itself in order to subsist) is a critical survival program for tumor cells. Dr. Murphy's interest in apoptosis and p53 relates to how genetic polymorphisms in the p53 tumor suppressor gene that are more common in African Americans affect the ability of this protein to induce apoptosis and growth arrest, and hence combat tumor development. Her studies have relevance for understanding inter-individual differences in cancer risk and therapy, particularly in ethnic populations where these variants occur with high frequency. With regard to autophagy, Dr. Murphy proposes to target the autophagy pathway for cancer therapy by using small molecule inhibitors of Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70) in order to selectively eradicate tumor cells.

Bath and North East Somerset Council rejects fracking 'bribe'
Posted: January 16, 2014|
Council chiefs in Bath have told Prime Minister David Cameron that they are not interested in getting a business rates boost in return for giving the nod to fracking.
The Premier said English local authorities agreeing to shale gas schemes would receive 100 per cent of the resulting business rates – rather than the usual 50 per cent.
The move is part of an "all out" drive to exploit the controversial technique, which the Government believes is worth billions of pounds to the economy, as well as supporting 74,000 jobs, and drastically cutting rising energy bills.
But critics of the proposals – which Bath and North East Somerset Council fears could dangerously disrupt the city's hot springs – said Mr Cameron's offer was tantamount to "bribery".
Sites near Keynsham, in the Chew Valley and on the Mendips have been mooted for drilling, with the process seeing water injected at high pressure into rocks to release gas.
B&NES Council leader Councillor Paul Crossley (Lib Dem, Southdown) said: "Whilst the council is yet to assess the full detail of the Government's proposal, our prime concern remains retaining the integrity of the natural hot springs.
"We have obtained the very best expert advice on this matter and there is little to suggest otherwise than there is a potential for damage to the deep water sources that supply the springs in Bath.
"The hot springs are a crucial part of the tourist attraction that sustains thousands of jobs in the city and generates millions of pounds for the local economy.
"The loss of these would be catastrophic having far- reaching effects for the overall offer of the West of England area.
"In short, we would not take any short-term business rate gain at the expense of the springs."
But Mr Cameron said the technique could provide energy security.
"We're going all out for shale. It will mean more jobs and opportunities for people, and economic security for our country."

Fragrances have become ubiquitous in skin and hair care products to appeal to the consumer's senses. However, fragrances have been associated with allergic contact dermatitis in applications including: unspecified leave-on products, sun tan lotion, deodorants, scented lotion, unspecified rinse-off products, fine fragrances, shampoo, liquid soap, aftershave, lipstick, sunscreen, hair styling products, shaving foam, mascara, hair dye, eye shadow and makeup cream. While some dermatologists recommend avoiding all fragrances yielding positive patch test results, it has become increasingly difficult to avoid all fragrances and in the end, may be unnecessary for the patch test positive patient.
To identify dermatitis caused by fragrance, a patch test for common aromatic allergens was designed in which two fragrance mixes using putative common allergens served as screens. Fragrance Mix #1 (FM1) was developed from the fragrances used in an antifungal cream that had caused an allergic contact dermatitis epidemic. It comprised: Evernia prunastri (oak moss), isoeugenol, cinnamyl alcohol, eugenol, cinnamal, geraniol, α-amylcinnamal and hydroxycitronellal. Fragrance Mix #2 (FM2), a later attempt5 to identify fragrance allergens, consisted of hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde (HICC), farnesol, citral, hexyl cinnamal, citronellol and coumarin. These materials are considered EU fragrance allergens and have been used in fragrance allergy testing reported in the literature, which are reviewed here.
Preliminary Questionnaire
The diagnosis of a fragrance contact allergy always starts with a detailed medical history. Schollhammer et al. developed a questionnaire to determine if consumers had a "certain, probable or possible" allergy to fragrances based on their recollection of adverse reactions to perfumes or perfumed products. In this questionnaire, the "certain" allergy included an itching dermatitis reaction to at least one fine perfume or aftershave, and reactions to other perfumed products. The "probable" allergy involved reacting to one or more perfumed products (e.g., deodorant) but no specific perfume being identified as causing the clinical reaction. The "possible" allergy meant reacting to various cosmetic products with and without perfume, where materials other than fragrance constituted the possible cause of the reaction. Finally, those identified without a fragrance allergy had never reacted to a perfumed material.

Our own Cinda Boomershine has packed her bags and is off to Lacoste, France, where she is visiting the SavannahCollege of Art and Design LaCoste Campus. She sits on the Atlanta Advisory Council for SCAD and is working with students there. She often gets ideas for her designs from these wonderful trips (Casablanca and Belize are just a couple of geographically inspired colorways) and we're looking forward to the ideas she'll be bringing home with her.
If you're not familiar with Lacoste it's located in Provence's Luberon Valley – between Bonnieux and Ménerbes – key towns in Peter Mayle's "A Year in Provence".
Lacoste is known for not only SCAD, but also the Chateau-de-Sade, the rambling, crumbling castle of the notorious Marquis de Sade. It's now owned by Pierre Cardin who is working to restore it.
Interesting castles and gorgeous vistas aside, we really want you to see La Bastide de Marie just a couple miles outside of Lacoste in Ménerbes. Created by 2nd generation hoteliers, Jocelyne & Jean Louis Sibuet this 18th century building is surrounded by 37 acres of vineyard and, as you can see, is gorgeous.
Here's a look, be sure to click the link to see all the images, as the hotel is remarkable.
We especially love this 182 square foot trailer called La Roulotte – it's meant to offer "the magical atmosphere of gypsy nights" – I think they've accomplished this!

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Saxon!
Man, these guys can sure make music! Saxon is at their metalhead best when they stay away from restricting themselves to a singular musical concept, and this album does it with just good old fashioned hard rock. Saxon has been one of my all time favorite bands...I remember eagerly awaiting a special order vinyl version of "Wheels Of Steel" over 20 years ago...

SAXON finally found its way again since 1997's UNLEASH THE BEAST, their best record in years, much better than previous records. They are mantaining this good moment, with METALHEAD and, now, KILLING GROUND. Even with another line-up change (drummer Nigel Glockler is gone, the band delivered another solid album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Saxon!,
Daniel J. Wiedecker "bargainlawbooks" (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Man, these guys can sure make music! Saxon is at their metalhead best when they stay away from restricting themselves to a singular musical concept, and this album does it with just good old fashioned hard rock. Saxon has been one of my all time favorite bands...I remember eagerly awaiting a special order vinyl version of "Wheels Of Steel" over 20 years ago. What a history these guys have had.
One of Saxon's strong suits, and frankly it slays me why their popularity has have exploded in the US, is that they bring so much energy to their music, both recorded and live. Saxon is not power metal, but a majestic hybrid mixture of positive powerful hard rock and heavy metal. Their song writing and music have matured and evolved exponentially in the last 30 years to hard rock perfection; what heavy music should engender.
Biff Byford has the quintassential "majestic" rock voice, and I swear it sounds as good here on Killing Ground as it did on the first album I bought, "Denim & Leather." What appeals to me on this album (in my advancing age along with Saxon) are the addition of some groove oriented rockers that move along at the 4/4 time pace, and simply burn an indelible image. The guitars on this album by Doug and Paul are not as much in your face as in younger days, and support the song structures very effectively. The grinding and pumping riffage, and soloing is still there, but appropriately and tastefully so. My favorite songs here are "Coming Home," "Hell Freezes Over," "You Don't Know What You've Got" and "Deeds of Glory." A special favorite, living in Southern California, is "Running For The Border," with numerous references to Mexico (these guys are from England, and rarely, if ever, make it west of the Mississippi....hilarious!).
I know that time will eventually take these guys away, but they are just so good that I hope they NEVER retire! I wish they could get their asses to CA for a concert some day; they'd be surprised at the turnout!
5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible !!,
Kael (Jugland) - See all my reviews
I've watched SAXON live in May, 2002. It was a very small gig, just five hundred people in the audience. I had never watched them live before. Man, what a gig! What energy and enthusiasm. They could not have cared less if the place was empty. Their profissionalism was in control, they delivered everything they got, mainly bassist Nibbs Carter. Biff's voice has IMPROVED with time, amazing! There were no tricks, no overdubs, no playbacks: it was his powerful voice going through the songs all the time.
So, soon after the gig I bought KILLING GROUND (the limited edition). Man, what a job! Giving sequence to their last great albums UNLEASH THE BEAST and METALHEAD, this one here is breathtaking. The quality of production is just the best. The second CD featuring old classics re-recorded is also majestic.
SAXON is a phenomenon. They lost their way in the eighties, trying to adapt their sound to radio and America, but they failed. Since then, it has been a long road back to their metal best, including fighting in court with ex-members Dawnson and Oliver. They are doing it, they are successfull again, even in this environment totally opposite to metal. Also, SAXON has an easily recognizable style, but they manage to do it with a different touch in every album, unlike, for example, Iron Maiden or AC/DC.
KILLING GROUND is a fantastic rock album, simple as it.
4.0 out of 5 stars "Killing Ground" is traditional Saxon,
L. B. Ivarsson (Rock City) - See all my reviews
After the disappointing and rather modern sounding "Metalhead", Saxon returned to what they know best - traditional heavy metal with it's roots in New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. The album (released in 2001) starts with an instrumental and unnecessary intro before Biff & Co blast away with the hard rocking "Killing ground" on which they revisiting the war theme once again. The material is quite strong the whole way through the album, and Saxon deliver some songs equally good as in their prime. The great "Coming home" is built around a very groovy guitar riff not that far from Whitesnake's "Ready an' willing", and as "Rock is our life" begin you can hear musical connections to Iron Maiden. The excellent "Deeds of glory" (a song that easily could have been included on any album from the 1980's) is classic Saxon, and must be regarded as one of the band's finest ever. All this combined with tracks like the groovy and heavy "Running for the border" and the traditional sounding "Hell freezes over" with the pumping "one-tone-bass" (in A?) with a guitar sling over it (compare "Dallas 1pm" or "Strong arm of the law") makes this is a very strong effort from Saxon.
5.0 out of 5 stars Saxon's best album,
Robert Stotzky (Gothenburg, Sweden) - See all my reviews
Wow! After the great "Metalhead" hopes are up for another great Saxon-release. And I wasn't disappointed. This is even better than "Metalhead" and it has even knocked "Power And The Glory" from it's position as the best Saxon-album ever. Classic hit after classic hit is what's on offer here.
"Dragon's Lair" - Lyrically perhaps a bit too much German powermetal, but what a great song! Catchy riffs, great drumming and a great vocal delivery from Biff.
"Deeds Of Glory" - Classic metal with classic Saxon-lyrics. Every bit as good as "Power And The Glory" and "Stand Up And Be Counted". Has a great and mighty chorus.
"Court Of The Crimson King" - A cover of the King Crimson-song. Instead of the flutes and organs of the original, we are here offered acoustic and electric guitar. Much, much better than the original.
4.0 out of 5 stars Power and the glory,again...,
Bete Noire (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews
Saxon have been building momentum since 1997 and their latest opus is the culmination of that process.In other words it is a stunning power metal album coming from a legendary founder of the genre.In their tradition of exceptional covers,their metallized version of "In the Court of the Crimson King" brings new life to the original,while "Coming Home" is a guaranteed Saxon classic;other higlights on this very even album are "Hell Freezes Over" and "Shadows on the Wall" with its apocalyptic lyrics.A very solid guitar crunch with the characteristic grooves and more meaningful lyrics this time around make a strong case for the fact that,indeed,"Rock is Our Life".
3.0 out of 5 stars very good,

Omar Farid "order of choice" (from Qatar) - See all my reviews
saxon are one of the bands that really didn't diverisify into commercial aspect in this album, they kept playing true heavy metal. songs like rock is our life, killing ground, dragon's lair and deeds of glory express their roots glory back to crusader and power of glory. i can't get rid of thi album , i bought this album several months ago and i m still listening to it until now. Saxon doesn't even need a review because they don't let you down . rock is our life!!!
4.0 out of 5 stars Better than "Metal Head" & a typical Saxon crunchfest,
S. McCall "ncwolf1" (Thomasville, NC United States) - See all my reviews
As I said, like this one much better than the last one. It starts out with a "Crusader"-like intro into the title track. Most all the songs are strong, but "Coming Home" & "Don't Know What You Got" really stand out. The production is great, Biff's voice sounds as unique & charismatic as always, & the playing is top notch as usual. It's quite good; not their best, but if you like this band, you won't be disappointed.
5.0 out of 5 stars An Underrated Gem,
C. Fogus "sercrow" (Spokane, WA United States) - See all my reviews
this CD is rock solid from start to finish. Saxon's songwriting skills and instrumental talent shines in this 2001 release. KG is my favorite studio release since Solid Ball of Rock 10 years earlier.
this is a great starting point for new fans and a must for any Saxon die-hard. check out Heavy Metal Thunder as well, an excellent set of classic Saxon songs re-recorded with the current lineup.
5.0 out of 5 stars Woooshhhh!!,
...Woooshhhh what a band!! What a performance!! Even some songs that I did not know (from MEtalhead) made me enthusiasthic!!!!!
KILLING GROUND is their best album since their return to form begun in 1997's UNLEASH THE BEAST.
But watching them live is a wonderful experience!

Perhaps there's a time a place for loud and cacophonous top-40 pop music (some would obviously argue this fact), but while trying to have dinner is not one of them, especially at an establishment such as this. A different decibel level as well as selection would have been more appropriate, however, the majority of the staff, minus our lovely waitress Desiree, were more interested at sitting by the bar watching the Red Sox rout the Cardinals. Only three tables in the back were occupied and each patron at each table had to scream and lean in just to have a conversation with their fellow diners. Desiree even had to move around our small table of five to repeat herself when telling us the specials and asking us for our order because she was completely drowned out by the music. It was ridiculous, and surely didn't set the right tone for the remainder of the evening. All in the all the food is good, and I must say if you are hungry, the 4-course chef's special meal for $29 is a bargain, but be sure to have had an early lunch or it will be too much food. The entrees are definitely the strongest items on the menu; the appetizers are a a bit too contrived and are lacking. The tacos are disappointing since the tortilla is fried which masks the flavors inside. The avocado wedge is void of flavor which is a shame because when grilled avocados are fantastic. The special short rib and vegetable soup got rave reviews from two at our table. The fish special, which was grouper, was great, however, what it was served with, unripened mango salsa was completely tasteless and unnecessary. The red snapper was a bit as was the steak and salmon. The bucatini with meat ragu was a disappointment as well. This place struck us all more as a perfect spot for lunch rather than for dinner, so we will return to try it one more time, and most likely sit outside as far away from that music as humanly possible.

As of Thursday, November 28, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
3 1/2 out of 4 stars
Every year about this time, producer Harvey Weinstein releases a low-key British movie or two in the hopes of snaring spots on Top 10 lists and more importantly, Oscar nominations. Along with his brother Bob — and previously with the first studio they co-founded three plus decades ago (Miramax) — Harvey's films have received more Academy Award nominations than any other producer over that same time frame. He is a marketing genius and knows how to manipulate and maneuver the awards circuit better than anyone else.
"Philomena" is exactly what you'd expect from a Weinstein production. It is a heartfelt (but not sappy) uplifting drama with a side of order of dry English humor and just enough mystery and intrigue to make it appealing to those who don't usually like British films.
Also the most recent "M" in the James Bond franchise, Dame Judi Dench has been making these kind of movies for what seems like forever and it is a custom-fit for her classy style and understated sensibilities. As the title character, Dench plays an Irish Catholic woman who is probably a widow and certainly rife with misplaced guilt over an event that took place 50 or so years ago that has been gnawing at her ever since.
After being charmed into having sex at a fair, the naïve Philomena (played as a teen by Sophie Clark) gets pregnant, is sent to a convent, gives birth and pays for her "sins" by becoming an indentured servant. The only bright spot is the daily hour she is permitted to spend with her son Anthony who is cared for at the convent along with other children born under similar circumstances. At what appears to be the four year mark after his birth, Anthony is adopted by a Catholic family of means and whisked away to America.
Philomena is practically resigned to never knowing what happened to her son, but her daughter Jane (Anna Martin) gives her a chance to find out where he is after meeting Martin Sixsmith (Steve Coogan), a freshly unemployed political correspondent formerly with the BBC. Stock-full with all of the jaded journalist traits (world weariness, an above-it-all air and disdain for fluff stories), Martin initially rejects Jane's proposal that he investigate Philomena's past but reconsiders when he realizes his short-term employment prospects are exceedingly slim.
It is during the "getting-to-know-you" phase of the film where "Philomena" makes its greatest impact. In addition to inhabiting characters that are vastly different philosophically, Dench and Coogan's acting styles come from different worlds all together and in the wrong hands could come across feeling patently disingenuous.
Working with a screenplay by Coogan and Jeff Pope (adapted from the Sixsmith's novel), director Stephen Frears does a superb job of balancing the important with the mundane, the serious with the comedic and the intellectual with the emotional. The further the movie progresses the less it feels like a movie and more like a thriller-flavored documentary. It's a tough balancing act and one that few directors could pull off without appearing to try too hard. Although the content is way different, it's equally as impressive to what Frears did with "High Fidelity."
It helps Frears that Coogan and Pope's screenplay takes big chances with the reveals. A discovery that would generally come at the end of any other like-minded mystery appears here at the halfway point but instead of providing a sense of premature closure, opens up a door into unexpected and unexplored narrative possibilities.
It won't spoil anything to let you know that the film is based on real events and, in the minds of most, what takes place would be far too strange for fiction. No one could make this story up out of whole cloth and have it remain believable. While some might argue otherwise, "Philomena" paints an accurate picture of the Catholic Church in the 1950s in an extremely negative light — and it never apologizes for its stance. It doesn't pass judgment but neither does it gloss over or sugar-coat the facts.
The real Martin Sixsmith didn't want to get involved with what happened to Philomena Lee in the late 2000s because he thought it was a lowly "human interest" story. He changed his tune when he figured out it was actually a transfixing tale of human dignity and nothing resembling fluff. This is the kind of story every dedicated journalist dreams of coming across and usually never finds, but only fully realizes when it's in their rearview mirror. (The Weinstein Company)

Aubrey Plaza Kicked Out of 2013 MTV Movie Awards!! (VIDEO)
In one of the most endearing, unauthorized stage stormings since ODB at the Grammys — okay, we're exaggerating. But Parks and Recreation's Aubrey Plaza's attempted upstage of Will Ferrell as he claimed his Comedic Genius Award did give us a giggle. Unfortunately, MTV producers did not feel the same way, and asked her to remove herself from the premises.
An MTV News post confirms that if it was a gag, Aubrey was the only one who knew about it... and while we're not sure her intentions were the same as Kanye's, some are drawing a comparison. (To be fair, we don't know what Kanye's intentions were, either.)
She has "to-do list" written on her chest, so maybe she's just crossing "storm an award show stage" off said to-do list. That's fair! (Or maybe she's promoting her new film, The To-Do List. Or actively sabotaging her new film, The To Do List.)
What do you think? Was Aubrey confused, or was it a simple joke gone awry? Should she have been kicked out? Watch the video and see for yourself!
(For what it's worth, we think she was just trying to be funny.)

Critics Consensus: Where the Wild Things Are Is A Wild Rumpus
Plus, Law Abiding Citizen is guilty of contrivance, and guess The Stepfather's Tomatometer!
Where the Wild Things Are
Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are is one of the most beloved classics of modern children's literature, but the brief text doesn't necessarily lend itself to feature-length cinematic treatment. Critics have largely praised Spike Jonze for maintaining the spirit of the book while adding some visually daring touches to bring it to life; however, some feel the narrative is a little thin. Max (Max Records) is a troubled youngster who disappears into a fantasy world of his own making, populated by fluffy monsters who symbolize the various facets of his personality. The pundits say Wild Things may be a little too creepy for the wee ones, and it lacks a strong plot. However, the images Jonze crafts are so wondrous that older kids -- and adults -- will find the film to be a fascinating, poignant dreamscape.
Law Abiding Citizen
Nobody says that a thriller needs to be completely plausible to be watchable. However, staying somewhere within the bounds of believability is generally required, and on this count, and several others, critics say Law Abiding Citizen fails. Gerard Butler stars as a man whose family has been murdered; he becomes enraged when the prosecutor (Jamie Foxx) makes a plea deal with the killer, and goes about exacting revenge. The pundits say Law Abiding Citizen isn't just outrageously contrived; worse, it lingers a little too long over some gruesome violence under the guise of making a political statement about the judicial system. (Check out our interview with director F. Gary Gray, who shared his Five Favorite Films with RT.).
The Stepfather
It appears the folks behind The Stepfather are being a little too strict with their baby, as it wasn't screened for critics prior to release. A remake of the 1987 cult classic of the same name, the movie stars Dylan Walsh as a man who's so perfect for Sela Ward that he must be hiding a dark secret. Kids, guess that Tomatometer!.

- New York, I Love You, an omnibus collection of love stories set in the Big Apple, is at 45 percent.

In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage—until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Called
a "powerful" and "engrossing" drama by critics, Radium Girls is based on the true story of the dial painters who worked for the U.S. Radium Corporation in Orange, N.J. and made labor
history.This fast-paced stage play offers a wry examination of the commercialization of science and the twin American obsessions of the pursuit of health and wealth.
This production is part of the Freshmen Reading project.Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois Originally produced by Playwrights Theatre of New Jersey and developed with a
commissioning grant from The Ensemble Studio Theatre/Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Science and Technology Project
Adapted by Doris Baizley
This highly inventive adaptationof the classic Dickens story was initially produced to critical acclaim by the Mark Taper Forum. In this version, we encounter a company of traveling players about to enact the Dickens story. The on-stage trunk of supplies opens revealing the show's props, which are shabby and third rate, but the troupe improvises by creating a magical world of make-believe. The rag tag players (including the stage manager and prop boy) quickly become the characters of the story and we are pulled into the heartwarming
story of the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge.
Student Directed by Christine Byrne under the faculty mentorship of Professor Deirdre Yates
By William Shakespeare
The two gentlemen of the title are
Proteus and Valentine, who are taking leave of one another as the play opens. Valentine travels to Milan,where he falls in love with Silvia, daughter of the Duke. Proteus, meanwhile, hunts after love and remains in Verona, pledged to faithfulness to his beloved Julia.When Proteus travels to Milan, however, he too falls in love with Silvia and proceeds to undermine his friend by denouncing him to the Duke.Romance, betrayal and mistaken identities
makes this one of Shakespeare's most enjoyable comedies!
Directed by Professor Dan Yates
Book by Allan Knee, Music by Jason Howland, Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein, Based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott
Produced nationally and internationally, Little Women has been praised by critics for its ambition in adapting such a well-known story for the stage. This timeless captivating story is brought to life in this glorious musical filled with personal discovery, heartache, hope, and everlasting love.Based on Louisa May Alcott's life, Little Women, follows the adventures of sisters Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested - her friend Professor Bhaer tells her that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the
story of herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War America.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — More than 1,600 students are taking part in the BELL summer learning program — a five-week course aimed at low-income youth who need assistance in certain subjects.
The students go on field trips, eat breakfast together and are given many hands-on opportunities.
Science, language and math are covered in the course, along with self-esteem.
"A lot of these children don't have the opportunity. So this is wonderful for them to continue their education and that gap that comes with summer is not there because they've been learning all summer long," a BELL teacher said.
Like a regular school year, a little testing will follow.
"At the beginning of the term [students] are given a pre-test and at the end of the program [students] are given a post test to see how well they've grown — students can grow several months even within the five month period."
They may also walk away with an unexpected lesson–self-esteem.
"They can feel so much better about themselves and learn more about who they are."

Consistency of mist netting and point counts in assessing landbird species richness and relative abundance during migration
Wang, Yong; Finch, Deborah M. 2002. Consistency of mist netting and point counts in assessing landbird species richness and relative abundance during migration. The Condor. 104(1): 59-72.
We compared consistency of species richness and relative abundance data collected concurrently using mist netting and point counts during migration in riparian habitats along the middle Rio Grande of central New Mexico. Mist netting detected 74% and point counts detected 82% of the 197 species encountered during the study. Species that mist netting failed to capture were usually large, such as quails, raptors, owls, woodpeckers, jays, and crows, or those foraging on the wing, such as swallows and nighthawks; species that point counts failed to detect were usually small, such as sparrows, warblers, vireos, and wrens, or rare species. For the 110 species detected by both techniques, relative abundance was correlated (r = 0.75). However, point counts tended to provide lower estimates for species that were more likely to be captured by mist netting. The strength of the relationship of abundance estimates from the two methods varied by habitat type (cottonwood, agriculture, and willow). The discrepancy between the two techniques was similar in both magnitude and direction in willow and agriculture habitats but was less consistent between each of these two and cottonwood, probably because of canopy height and vegetation vertical structure. The discrepancy between the two techniques in estimating relative abundance was smaller in this study than in studies on breeding or wintering grounds. Less habitat specificity and more-active foraging by migrants during stopover might underlie the high consistency between mist netting and point counts in this study.

"2012" – A Review With A Twist
Filed under: Movie Reviews, Salvation
Because 2012 The Movie wasn't released in South Africa until 3 Dec, three weeks following the first public viewing of the film elsewhere, this review comes a little late. Fortunately, the real message of the film isn't dated – yet – so a good look is still relevant.
The movie was good in many ways and a bit over the top in some. The suspense started at the beginning and didn't stop till the end. I guess the breath holding and nervous jumps fit the tenor of the film but 2 hours and 37 minutes is a long time to hold ones breath. Read more
"Surrogates" Movie Review

Just as soon as the iPhone 4S excitement starts to die down, along comes some more mobile news to keep you interested. Google's first Android Ice Cream Sandwich handset, the Samsung Nexus Prime has started appearing on the web
The Samsung Nexus Prime (Aka Google Nexus Prime) has been making appearances all over the web, from screengrabs to artists impressions to a leak which claims to show the first official image of the handset rumoured to be making its entrance early tomorrow morning.
What is known for sure though is that the Nexus Prime will contain Androids latest and greatest operating system, Ice Cream Sandwich. Check out the images above to see a taster of what is believed to be the next step for Android on smartphones.
With an official teaser as the only accredited image it's important to point out that everything is still very much up in the air, but considering how scarily accurate concept ideas can be it's definitely worth taking into account the images which have been cropping up.
Samsung Nexus Prime: Leaked brochure
Of notable interest is an image which Engadget found, believed to show a brochure containing an image of the Nexus Prime, but called the Galaxy Nexus. There's no official word from Samsung on this so it looks like we'll have to wait until later to find out just how accurate these images were.
Samsung is holding its Samsung Mobile Unpacked event on Tuesday, where it's expected to announce the Nexus Prime. We'll bring you all the news direct from there as it breaks.
Do you think the Samsung Nexus Prime can challenge the iPhone 4S? Let us know on our Facebook page.

Discussion: GSC SENIOR BAT IN RENO
I feel that I need to reiterate that I'm not a paid spokesperson for GSC or for the senior bat, P413. As a result of the video on their web site I've been asked by a few friends if I was promoting the P413. No, I'm not.
I consented to the video filming on the same day that I was able to hit with a prototype (4-5 weeks ago). At the time it was not approved but, as has been reported, now it is. While I have no reason to feel that the bat we used is any different than the one that was approved (in terms of performance), I do not know for certain as the one that we used had no graphics or any printing on it whatsoever. I am not making any insinuations, just merely verifying what I can.
I'm very anxious to hit one with the approval sticker on it... and I'm told that this is just around the corner. When I do I'll give my honest assessment of it.
From what I personally witnessed, the bat we tested performs as well as the red Miken. I was told that it had over 1,000 swings on it but I only personally witnessed 500+... it was still going strong when I left the BP session.
Still, 500+ swings on a high performance bat is impressive! Even more so when you consider the size/power of some the hitters.
As I stated previously, I am impressed with the bat we used and would like to have one even if it's just a BP bat.

Discussion: Please send you thoughts and prayers... for the RUDY FLORES FAMILY...
I wish to clarify my previous post.
I did not intend to leave the impression that I ever had any issues with Rudy personally. What I meant to convey was that, in the late 70s & early 80s,the games were fiercely contested. Rudy's team and our team's battles epitomized this and then some. It was just the way it was in that era.
Rudy was a multi tool player with Bombats and/or with DeMarinis. He did not need a 1.2 bat to play @ the highest level.
If I offended any of Rudy's family or friends I apologize. I have a great deal of respect for Rudy today as I did in our younger days.

Discussion: Please send you thoughts and prayers... for the RUDY FLORES FAMILY...
Wow! Almost hard to believe. I used to play against Rudy 30+ years ago. Hated him... But only because he was one competitive lil' dude. He was a heckuva player for May Tool and then Class Act. Our teams fought on & off the field... Literally.
As a senior I'd see him and found him to be a very nice persom. I'll keep his family in my prayers for certain.I know that he'll be missed by many.

Discussion: Socks
I have purchased several pairs of dri-fit socks thru Foot Smart. I've been wearing them for 3-4 years now and my feet remain comfortable. I've had no issues like plantar fasciitis.
I prefer the Fox River Triathlon Quarter cuts and/or Wigwams. I initially found them locally but then I had to search for them on line. They run about $9 per pair but seem to last 2 yrs or more.
