An umbilical granuloma is a piece of tissue that stays on your baby's bellybutton after the umbilical cord falls off. Rather than getting covered with skin as it heals, there is a bright red stalk of tissue on the bellybutton. It has a grainy surface and sticky mucus. Without treatment, it could ooze and be irritated for several months.
It is not known why some children develop an umbilical granuloma. It has to do with how the tissue heals as the umbilical cord separates from the baby. It does not seem to be due to improper care of the umbilical cord after the baby is born.
In rare cases, a piece of tissue that looks like an umbilical granuloma is actually connected to the bladder or bowel. Your doctor can tell the difference between this problem and an umbilical granuloma.
Your baby has a bright red stalk of tissue on the bellybutton that has sticky mucus on it.
Your healthcare provider will examine your child.
There are different ways to remove a granuloma. Your healthcare provider may:
Because the granuloma has no nerves in it, these treatments don't hurt.
You can help the tissue to heal if you clean the area by wiping around the cord with clean water or alcohol several times every day until the cord falls off.
Call your healthcare provider if:

First World War experiences in Charnwood to be commemorated with Heritage Lottery Fund cash
Posted: May 15, 2014|
A grant of nearly £100,000 is to help arts groups commemorate the First World War.
The Heritage Lottery Fund cash will go to The Charnwood Great War Centenary Project.
A range of initiatives are being planned as part of a two year effort to learn more about how the 1914-18 conflict affected people in Loughborough and nearby villages.
Arts organisation Charnwood Arts, Participation in Action, Loughborough entertainer Bill Brookman and the town's All Saints with Holy Trinity Church successfully bid for £96,200.
The groups will work with volunteers and organisations to create a diverse – yet linked – programme of research, events and publications.
They will also re-site the poorly placed war memorials at the church and research the lives of those on them.
The project will be publicly launched at Picnic in the Park in Loughborough's Queen's Park on Saturday, June 14.
The project will look at the role of women and local industries during the war and will also be hosting a range of debates, working with schools and researching the stories of the fallen.
It will look to retell the story of deadly Zeppelin raid on Loughborough on in January 1916, in which nine people lost their lives to German bombs.
Kevin Ryan, of Charnwood Arts, said: "We are delighted to have received the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund.
"In the extensive build-up and consultation period for this project, we were amazed at how it was already bringing so many people together in interesting ways.
"It has already generated a range of interesting debates and possibilities."
As part of the project, a folk band called Tommy Atkins' War will be formed to perform a repertoire of songs from the period and there will also be classical and choral concerts.
Bill Brookman has developed a character called Old Billy, who will work with schools to enable people to connect with stories from the war.
Leading research volunteer Janet Grant will also work with Charnwood Arts and Participation in Action to carry out the research, which will be published on-line and in print with the aim of producing a book about the area's wartime experience.

Hi all,
Well, I am officially on board to start ttc. I saw my MFM and he gave me the green light. He seemed optimistic, eventhough, he is a very serious doctor. He is actually the chief of staff at the practice. I was nervous because I have lupus, I'm 38, and I lost my baby girl at 22.5 weeks in july 2010. I feel as though I have so many things against me. I'm scared, but, I refuse to let lupus and pre-e dictate my life. My good friend died in July 2010 bc of pre-e, so I want to go into this armed with knowledge and monitored closely. I'm so glad I have this site to turn to for advice. Although my doctor wants me to stay off the internet, I am so thankful this site exists.

Recipe by Maryanne
"A creamy cauliflower and cheddar soup. Instead of the cauliflower you can also use broccoli, corn kernels or even pumpkin."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 small heads
salt to taste
2 tablespoons
unsalted butter
onion, chopped
1 clove
garlic, minced
4 cups
vegetable broth
1 pinch
ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups
2 cups
shredded white Cheddar cheese
freshly ground black pepper
My heads were really big, so I doubled everything but the cream. I wanted a chunkier soup, so I just mashed the tender cauliflower with a potato masher for thicker bits instead of running it in the blender. When sauteeing the garlic and onion, I threw in two chopped red peppers that were about to go south I used heavy cream instead of milk and SLJ6 was right on about the thyme. I did add a bit of red pepper flake after trying it. Very good soup. This will be quite nice to eat on all week. Makes a lot so make sure you really like this or you have family that loves soup.
A lot of bother, not much flavor.

just an idea, velveeta in place of cheddar...mmmmm.
also, if you want, try using a powdered onion soup mix(one w/out beef fat) + water. i'm not crazy about veggie broth.
Oh my! This is amazing.. Double the butter and triple the Garlic!
I used Mont Jack Cheese instead. Plus i did 1 cup milk 1/2 a cup light cream. And this is to DIE FOR! My girlfriend was completely IMPRESSED!
I really liked this soup. I used heavy cream instead of milk to make it a little creamier. I thought it was good with vegetable broth.
This is a recipe that begs for innovation. I used chicken broth instead of vegetable. I also added a diced hot pepper. After adding the cheese I tasted and added a 1/4 stick of butter, white pepper and a generous amount of cayenne pepper too. This really spiced it up and made it yummy.
A gorgeous recipe. I'm sharing my changes for the frugal chef in a hurry!
In place of fresh cauliflower, I used a similar amount of leftover vegetables (mostly cauliflower & broccoli, and a few carrots). Lefover cooked potatoes, homemade chicken stock (instead of vegetable broth), an extra pinch of nutmeg, and white pepper instead of black. This soup vanished quickly, and immediately made my favourites list.
This was a good recipe but I added a little bit of wine into it to add a bit more oomph. It reheated well, too. My daughter didn't like it, but she is only 4 and doesn't like anything too weird.

TANNERSVILLE — Some swimmers in the Poconos may soon be part of a Guinness World Record for learning how to swim.
Nearly 50 beginner swimmers took part in the "World's Largest Swimming Lesson" at Camelbeach Mountain Water Park in Tannersville.
Camelbeach is one of more than 700 participating locations worldwide.
The goal of the "World's Largest Swimming Lesson" is to prevent drowning.
"If they fall in, basically how to turn around, float up, versus putting them in a circumstance where they don't know what to do," said Katrina Ptakowski, a lifeguard at Camelbeach.
Ethan Grossman already knows how to swim, but this lesson still is very important to him.
"Over the winter and fall, you probably forget stuff," said Grossman.
Ethan's mom agrees and is glad he's learning how to be a stronger swimmer.
"I didn't know how to swim growing up and I didn't take lessons. So now I want to make sure he's good to go," said Heather Siegel.
Cynthia Jackson of Allentown is also getting a refresher course in the swimming department with some of her family members.
"I never really learned. I tried it on my own. I love the backstroke. But now I sink," said Jackson.
Camelbeach officials will submit the sign-up sheet listing the people who came out to learn how to swim. Then, wait to see if their swimmers will be part of a Guinness World Record.

Lincoln seeking bond for schools
HAMLIN -- Lincoln County education officials are hoping not to suffer the same fate as Wayne County when a $24 million bond is decided by voters Saturday, Feb. 23.
The bond would secure $17 million from the West Virginia School Building Authority to provide two new schools as well as renovations and additions at three others.
Voters in neighboring Wayne County rejected a $33 million bond proposal in December that would have secured $20 million from the SBA to build two new schools and provide renovations at four others.

Hampshire plane crash: four people feared dead after light aircraft crashes at car auction site
Four people are feared dead after a light aircraft crashed at a car auction site in Hampshire this afternoon.
Graham Vick's production, first seen at Glyndebourne three years ago and now revived by Daniel Farncombe, is staged at one remove. It is costumed in the right century, but in a set within a set.

Naomi Wallace's ambitious play harks back to an old, almost forgotten battle in the English class war, when 18th century aristocrats were set upon transforming the landscape in and around their estates. Unfortunately The Inland Sea proves a confusing Vortex rather than a purposeful tributary. It swamps us with revelations about the damage done by the likes of Capability Brown, that landscaping gentleman who redesigned the estates of powerful landowners.

Here is a thrilling theatrical discovery. The plays of Heinrich von Kleist, the 19th century Romantic dramatist who fell more than half in love with death and killed himself in a suicide pact, are almost unknown in England. The Prince of Homburg, given in Neil Bartlett's fervent production and his own eloquent translation, offers an eerie perspective on life. It blurs the boundaries between real and dream worlds until, in the final, dizzying moments, neither we nor the Prince quite know where he is.

The world's largest body-art and fetish-culture club resides here in conservative old London town. So if debauched, sexually permissive night action is your thing, join 1,200 like-minded adventurers this Saturday night at Mass. 'We believe in freedom of sexuality so people can explore and have fun in a safe environment,' beams promoter and DJ Allen T.G. The event features a cabaret room with fashion shows and performances as well as a 'dungeon playroom with several bits of equipment you can practice S&M and domination on - anything you like, really.' Certainly not for the prudish or the faint-hearted then.

You could be witnessing a weird trip to wonderland when you watch the opening party scene of Caryl Churchill's famous, feminist play first seen in 1982. And Thea Sharrock's fervent production, with its versatile cast, suggests that despite the steady march of feminism since Thatcher's day, Top Girls has lost little of its stinging relevance. Marlene, Thatcherite managing director of the Top Girls' Recruitment Agency, is initially seen presiding over a 1982 dinner party to mark her latest step up the greasy ladder of business opportunity. We must be in dream or fantasy time. The stage is darkish and bare, except for a circular dining table that slowly revolves and designer Rachel Blues's mysterious fragment of a square wall with an orb at the centre.

Death, theoretical astrophysics, and bees form the heart of Charlotte Jones's latest comedy, which sparkles with eccentric humour and is as tightly structured as a honeycomb. Admirers of her earlier plays, such as In Flame, or Martha, Josie and the Chinese Elvis, will recognise a mind that has a magpie's greed for teasingly entertaining facts, and can turn anything from a black hole to the contents of a beehive into a metaphor for an emotional world.

Red Star��® Pasteur Champagne (Davis 522), a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been derived from the collection of the University of California. This strain has been widely used in the U.S. since 1963. It is a strong fermenter with good ethanol tolerance, and will readily ferment grape musts and fruit juices to dryness. This strain also has good tolerance to free sulfur dioxide. This strain is recommended for full bodied reds and whites. It is not recommended for grapes that have been dusted with sulfur, because of a tendency to produce hydrogen sulfide in the presence of higher concentrations of sulfur compounds. Pasteur Champagne is noted for low volatile acidity, good flavor complexity, and intense color.

Diane Elaine Young, 70
Diane Elaine Young
of Bremerton
July 3, 1943
to Oct. 6, 2013
Diane Elaine Young passed from recurring cancer on October 6, 2013, while residing in a care center in Port Orchard, WA.
She was born July 3, 1943, to Donald and Muriel Rodger Young. Her grandparents were Manette pioneer families. Her maternal grandfather built his home on Perry Avenue in the early 1900s; it is still standing. Her paternal grandfather was Manette's constable, and her father was the long-time owner of Superior Glass.
Diane was raised on Enetai Beach, and had life-long friends from "the beach" neighborhood. She graduated from East High School in 1961, and received her nursing degree from Western Washington College. She was briefly married to James Ackley.
Diane loved to travel, and she loved to share Jesus Christ with everyone she met. She worked at a variety of jobs, from private nurse to florist to church counselor to foster parent, always working on her life's "bucket list." Diane lived in many different cities, but always considered Bremerton her home, and always used the East Bremerton post office as her address. She was a member of the Manette History Club and Manette Community Church.
Diane was predeceased by her brother, Clyde R. Young (Tyke), and survived by his widow, their three children and several grandchildren. Also surviving are two cousins.
Her memorial service will be Saturday, October 19th, 2 p.m., at Manette Community Church, 1137 Hayward Ave., Bremerton, WA. May she rest in peace.

Cold . . . Hot . . . Why I Prefer Hot
At one time in my life I lived in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. I worked for some bad people (really, I'm not being "clever" here, but it isn't currently relevant). The site where I worked was near Carmacks. The year was 1997. This is how I know cold. As you can see from here:
It was COLD. If anyone wonders what -50C is like, let me tell you. . . You can't imagine it. I've been outside at -40 a lot in my life. It aint too bad, particularly if you have a sauna. But -50 is a whole new level of cold . . . And it is bad ass cold.
I've spent most of my life in Timmins, Ontario. There, -40 is almost assured every winter. But it was in Timmins that I experienced Hot. I clearly remember a summer from my youth. And the data is there to read.
Now I know that in the greater scheme of temperatures, +38.9C is not comparable to -50C for cold. But it is still pretty hot. Not like the hottest day in Scottsdale Arizona at 48.3, (http://www.weather.com/weather/wxclimatology/monthly/graph/USAZ0207) but it is still hot.
Hot is definitely much, MUCH more preferable to cold. An unprotected human would be dead in minutes at -50. They would be thirsty and maybe sun burnt at +50.
So John. WTF is your point here. My point is: The human race would be much MUCH better adjusted to an excessively warm planet then an excessively cold planet. If there is a climate we need to avoid, it is a cold climate. Bad things happen in the cold. Glaciers form. Water dries up (yes really). Plants don't grow. Tasty (and not so tasty) animals die. Cold is very very hard to live in. Warm is not. Warm is easy to live in.

But close enough to 0 that we can use 0 in all of our calculations. So David Hoffer and friends. WTF? Are you saying I'm wrong? Prove it. Use emperical, tested methods.

Human Achievement Hour
Following up on the post about earth hour, I celebrate Human Achievement Hour. For those who wonder why, look at the photos of earth at night here:
In particular, look for North Korea, compared to South Korea and Zimbabwe compared to South Africa. Two sets of nations that were at equal points in advancement at the end of the second world war. In both instances, the first suffers grinding poverty, no freedom and a short life span (and not coincidentally, a low carbon footprint). The second has embraced a free market approach to society and has reaped the benefits (and also not coincidentally, a high carbon footprint). Though one can talk about the lot of blacks in South Africa, they are better off than if they lived in Zimbabwe and now that they have the real human rights of speech and rule of law, their lot is improving fast.
Energy use and the necessary high carbon footprint is THE indicator of a society that does not suffer the ravages of poverty. One cannot have true freedom while enforcing a low carbon footprint.
Earth Hour
Today is March 31, 2012. During the first period of the hockey game, I am going to turn on all of my lights, microwave some popcorn, self clean my oven, freeze 10 trays of ice cubes, do two loads of laundry and vacuum the house. All things that are possible because of electricty.
I've an opinion on Earth Hour. However, Ross McKitrick has already expressed a similar view. Some would state that his saying women have been able to leave the house to work is sexist. That may be, though I doubt it. What is not sexist is that electricity has made it possible for there to be two income houses. Women have always been able to leave the home, IF they were very rich and had servants. Anyway, here is Ross's answer about earth hour:
Earth Hour: A Dissent
by Ross McKitrick
Image via Wikipedia
In 2009 I was asked by a journalist for my thoughts on the importance of Earth Hour.
Here is my response.
I abhor Earth Hour. Abundant, cheap electricity has been the greatest source of human liberation in the 20th century. Every material social advance in the 20th century depended on the proliferation of inexpensive and reliable electricity.
Giving women the freedom to work outside the home depended on the availability of electrical appliances that free up time from domestic chores. Getting children out of menial labour and into schools depended on the same thing, as well as the ability to provide safe indoor lighting for reading.
Development and provision of modern health care without electricity is absolutely impossible. The expansion of our food supply, and the promotion of hygiene and nutrition, depended on being able to irrigate fields, cook and refrigerate foods, and have a steady indoor supply of hot water.
Many of the world's poor suffer brutal environmental conditions in their own homes because of the necessity of cooking over indoor fires that burn twigs and dung. This causes local deforestation and the proliferation of smoke- and parasite-related lung diseases.
Anyone who wants to see local conditions improve in the third world should realize the importance of access to cheap electricity from fossil-fuel based power generating stations. After all, that's how the west developed.
The whole mentality around Earth Hour demonizes electricity. I cannot do that, instead I celebrate it and all that it has provided for humanity.
Earth Hour celebrates ignorance, poverty and backwardness. By repudiating the greatest engine of liberation it becomes an hour devoted to anti-humanism. It encourages the sanctimonious gesture of turning off trivial appliances for a trivial amount of time, in deference to some ill-defined abstraction called "the Earth," all the while hypocritically retaining the real benefits of continuous, reliable electricity.
People who see virtue in doing without electricity should shut off their fridge, stove, microwave, computer, water heater, lights, TV and all other appliances for a month, not an hour. And pop down to the cardiac unit at the hospital and shut the power off there too.
I don't want to go back to nature. Travel to a zone hit by earthquakes, floods and hurricanes to see what it's like to go back to nature. For humans, living in "nature" meant a short life span marked by violence, disease and ignorance. People who work for the end of poverty and relief from disease are fighting against nature. I hope they leave their lights on.
Here in Ontario, through the use of pollution control technology and advanced engineering, our air quality has dramatically improved since the 1960s, despite the expansion of industry and the power supply.
If, after all this, we are going to take the view that the remaining air emissions outweigh all the benefits of electricity, and that we ought to be shamed into sitting in darkness for an hour, like naughty children who have been caught doing something bad, then we are setting up unspoiled nature as an absolute, transcendent ideal that obliterates all other ethical and humane obligations.
No thanks.
I like visiting nature but I don't want to live there, and I refuse to accept the idea that civilization with all its tradeoffs is something to be ashamed of.

Just came across a book about slaying dragons, greenhouse gases, yada yada yada. Then I read Dr. Spencer's post (http://www.drroyspencer.com/2012/03/slaying-the-slayers-with-the-alabama-two-step/) and the comments in it. Just one question for the CO2 can't absorb energy crowd. How pray tell can I balance the heat in a blast furnace and come up with the right mass of coking coal to add without this absorption? Because without it, my theoretical carbon balance does not match the real carbon balance. Please show your math in the comment. Well Ok. Provide a link to the math. Last time I did one of those balances it took 6 pages of foolscap.
For a bit on the actual math, from a CO2 absorption point of view see:
For why the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is actually a lot of CO2 see:
I won't even get into some of the more esoteric stuff like "you can't add gas to the atmosphere" which would fall under the category of arguing with fools.
Radiant heat absorption by CO2 is a well known phenomenon. It is essential in many many areas besides climate. To deny it exists in climate is to deny it exists in all of the myriad of other fields that must take it into account. That is OK, if you can provide another explanation for the reduction in radiant heat loss that occurs as the proportion of CO2 increases in the intervening gas.
Methane that is sequestered in permafrost and deep sea clathrates has been alleged to be (a) potential serious source of positive feedback from global warming. Accepting this, I propose that we start a program immediately to mine these clathrates and burn them to CO2 and water, hence reducing the potential impact. There is very little methane in the atmosphere, hence small increases in methane will have a major impact on climate. There is a lot of CO2 in the atmosphere, hence large increases in CO2 are required to have any impact on climate.
Yes, yes, this post is short on links to sources. Google is your friend. Don't take my word for any of this.

Finding 10 Minutes Tip #9: Have a Plan Before Bed
My high school journalism teacher was big on "borrowing" ideas from others. She called it "Creative Plagerism". I think that term deserves its own blog entry. But tonight's not the time.
I bring it up, however, to admit that many of my time-saving ideas have been lovingly influenced by Flylady.net. About five years ago I was desperate for some help in running my household. (I was such a wimp back then. I only had three kids. What was I complaining about?) I took her recommendations and tailored them for me and my situations. (She's really big on setting timers too. But I was kind of doing that long before I was a Flybaby.)
All that to say, she is really big on planning your tomorrow the night before. This will most certainly save you some time. If you need to wear special clothes, have a lunch packed, certain things together, or whatever, a little advance planning goes a long way.
I don't send my kids to school, so we don't have the daily nightmare of getting everyone out the door. But I do need to have a plan for breakfast, an idea of what the day's activities are and what projects I need to attend to. Then, of course, laundry, dinner, and writing time.
This is much like the crock pot tip or the laundry tip: for it's better to have a plan in place than just to react to last minute emergencies. Without a plan your day might fly by and you'll have accomplished nothing you hoped for.
So, tonight, as I write this, I'm going to think about tomorrow a little bit. You should try it to.

3 previously unreleased tracks will see the light of day on the Nirvana compilation, "Sliver: The Best of the Box," which will arrive November 1
Something distinct and great is the target that Nirvana, as one of alternative rock's most influential and revered bands, try to achieve for their fanatics. Thus, they will add 3 previously unreleased tracks to their upcoming compilation, "Sliver: The Best of the Box," which will marry the street on November 1.
The three new tracks, which include "Spank Thru" from the famed 1985 "Fecal Matter" demo tape, the 1990 studio outtake "Sappy" and a pre-"Nevermind" rehearsal recording of "Come as You Are," will be added to the one disc set material that was previously included on the band's 2004 box set, "With the Lights Out."

All breaks for all arrivals
We stayed the first week of July in the comfort bungalows. These were super clean. As was the whole site. Staff friendly. Getting food in the restaurant takes a long time as there is not enough staff,so glad I didn't stay during the holidays as I would of had to wait hours for food. Route to the sea is not for the faint harted as the slope is very steep. But overall I had a great time
This was our first stay on a holiday park, it had all the amenities required for a young family. Things worth noting were that the walk to the beach included a steep slope which was a struggle with the Pushchair and the outdoor play things amounted to a train and a small climbing frame/slide.
The staff were helpful and soon delivered a cot and highchair after our arrival.
We enjoyed our stay and would return to Whitecliff bay.
Lovely location the caravan was very spacious and clean ideal for us. Love the Isle of Wight. Will definitely be returning.
the accommodation was a fantastic, clean place to stay for exploring the island. You could park near your chalet which was great for luggage. Staff were always helpful!!! Only one minor snag,,,,,,,,the restaurant was understaffed when we stayed so one evening the wait was really long and another evening a simple icecream didn't turn up after 40 minutes. All that said the staff were committed to putting this right and recognised that there had been a blip on this occasion. I would definately stay again. Really good value!
Used it as a base for exploring really, kids loved the indoor pool and nice and warm for our 7 month old. Soft play good, shop well stocked, bit of a steep treck to the beach. Accommodation needed a little TLC but was equipt enough for what we needed. Didn't used the evening entertainment so can't comment. Overall a great base for exploring and an evening swim with the kids.
Its a good place for families and the chalet was sufficient and effective for what we wanted .However for a senior quiet couple without kids and pets and non smoking we were glad just to sleep there and be out and about the rest of the day.Beautiful location beautiful island
had a great holiday staff were wonderful especially charlotte couldn't have been more helpful will be back next year hopefully
It would be nice to do one of the slops to the beach in layers rather than a steep slop as I have had a knee replacement and if it was not for the railings to put my self up would be very difficault.
Absolutely loved this holiday. The location was perfect and the beach just amazing. Definitely recommended!!!
Totally loved Whitecliff bay. We had a lovely welcome from the staff when I booked in. We were close to the amenities of the site and the beach was a short walk but down a very steep slope.
It was close to lots of places like Sandown, which took about 10 mins by car.
It was a lovely weekend break away and all the staff were so friendly and helpful.
The new owners have had the site for about 2 years and are making many changes. We found to have good facilities and friendly staff.
The only issue we had was a party of school children spoilt the peacefulness as we were put next to them
Had a great time.
Did contact reception on the day we left as my son left something in the freezer, and as no one was going in the caravan that day, reception said that they would go in and get it, then contact me regarding sending the item on.
I heard nothing from the resort again, so didn't think that was great customer relations.
Overall very good though.
A lovely place to stay, a great location, we loved the beach and the pool, every where on the site is so clean and tidy and the staff are all so friendly, we can't wait to go again.

Artadi - Vinas de Gain
It took about 1/2 hour in a decanter before it really started to open up. The nose on it amazingly resembled a Bordeaux (similar to the cedar present in a St Julien - very impressive). The color was inky purple right to the edge of the glass. The wine possesses flavors blackberry jam and black cherry with notes of vanilla from the new oak. The fruit is in balance with the substantial tannins present. However, this wine is very young now and should easily improve over the next five years and will most likely hit its stride in the next 2 or 3 years.
Pedro Alvear - Pedro Ximenez Solera
Pours and looks like Maple Syrup. Raisins with a hint of nuts on the nose. Chocolate giving way to crème caramel. Outrageously long and pleasantly round finish. Eighty years old and this may have another 3 decades to go?
Nice red center with brick edge. Tobacco, spice box, and lilacs on the nose (classic Paulliac). Raspberry fruit with firm tannins, however fruit is getting a little flabby. Only another couple of years before fruit fall behind tannins. Drink up.
Ravenswood - Icon
Purple right to the edge. Lilacs and spice box on the nose. Fleshy rasberry with round tannins and long finish. Drink up over next 2 - 3 years. Plenty of of enjoyment at a reasonable price.
Cartuxa - Evora Tinto Colheita
Red with a brick edge. Lilacs with a hint of licorice. Syrup-like cherry (kirsch) along chocolate with a smooth long finish. Still with some firm tannins. Should keep for another 5 - 8 years.

First Look: Handsome Pizza in Portland, OR

A pizza pyramid mural graces the wall of some city street. Can you name the pizzeria where this sign resides? More
A new Portland, OR slice shop is cooking up the most accurate representation of NYC style so far More
When I first spied the Krust Artisan Pizza food cart, emblazoned with 'housemade' and 'artisan', I thought I had made a discovery—a diamond in the rough. But such terms are used loosely and should have raised my suspicions. More
Portland's pizza cart continues to evolve with the addition of Kindle Kart. As long as you can keep yourself from having a lack-of-patience-while-waiting aneurysm, this food cart is most definitely a must-stop for any Portland pizza lover. More
Pizza Contadino was once a food cart, but has since moved their talent into the kitchen of the hipster North Portland bar, The Fixin' To. The pastel yellow food cart still remains parked outside (for storage purposes), which made this hidden spot a little easier to find. More
Seattle based mini chain Via Tribunali is turning out traditional Italian pies in Portland. The basics can't be beat, but while traditional, not all their pies are conventional Neapolitan pizzas and may take a little explaining. More
The unkempt hipster who waited on me at Vincente's offered a special which he referred to as the "daily slice", making the artichoke, bacon, and cheddar-topped pizza ($4.00) the obvious must-try choice. More
Since Apizza Scholls ceased its Sicilian pie service, the thick, square slices have been the missing link of the Portland pizza scene. After recently discovering that a hole-in-the-wall Southeast Portland pub was serving up the square style, I knew where the Slice business would be leading me this week More
A local food blog recently referred to Uncle John's Market, as a "destination of Portland pizza whisperers". I was surprised to roll up on what is essentially a convenience store with the word 'Pizza' emblazoned on the side. In between the cigarettes and the lottery machines stood a full sized, double decker, honest-to-goodness pizza oven and glass case full of slices. As one would do in a divey NYC joint, I went for pepperoni ($3.25). More
As most Portlanders will tell you, the St. John's neighborhood is not the most convenient place for anything, nevermind a slice of pizza. A clear schedule, an empty belly, and a cloudy afternoon created the perfect storm of St. John's-friendly travel circumstances. There I found the 'Cathedral' ($3.95/slice), a vegetarian melange of salty, savory garden fare. More

This formula is an apparent trend in the current Portland culinary scene, and the genesis of Oven and Shaker relied heavily on the weight of chef Cathy Whims' wood-fired pies. With... More
strong>Bridgeport's pies are named after local bridges, and "the burnside" (12", $12.50), with its Northwestern flair, held a lot of appeal on a winter's day. Smoked onions, local wild mushrooms, and Parmesan sat atop a base of mozzarella with roasted garlic oil. Fresh parsley and thyme added some green to the otherwise earthy pie. It was those vibrant herbs, coupled with the intense BBQ-like smoke from the onions and deeply charred bits of the crust, that defined this pie. More
Last time I visited Sizzle Pie for a Daily Slice, it was the east side location, and I aimed for the most carnivorous item available. On my recent trip to Sizzle Pie West, the micro-chain's second location, I decided to give a veggie option a chance. Truthfully, it was a no-brainer after I spotted one of Portland's most elusive pizza toppings behind the glass case: fried eggplant. More
The Fire on the Mountain chicken wing nano-chain is the perfect example of a Portland institution. When hungry for hot wings, there is no discussion; Fire on the Mountain is the assumed destination. When a third location opened this fall, the prospect of pizza and house-brewed beer caused quite the buzz. A pizza menu which infuses traditional NY-style thin crust pies with eccentric wing ingredients could not hide under a blanket of mediocrity. More
The pizza scene in Portland has been fairly stationary since the much-hyped New Year's Eve opening of East Burnside's Sizzle Pie. As we approach Sizzle's one year anniversary, a second location is preparing to open in Southwest Portland, and the overall pizza landscape in Portland has encountered a rapid growth spurt. Here's what's on the horizon... More
The Portland food cart scene east of 82nd Avenue is rather limited in scope. Despite its hulking, house-like structure, Pizza Box is indeed a 'cart', and a welcome addition to an area somewhat devoid of tasty, non-Mexican options. It's set up as more of a call-ahead-and-take-out establishment, and while only open for two months, they seem to be cranking out endless wood-fired pies. More
Only in Portland will you find cheap happy hour bar pizza hand-crafted in the artisan style. OK, maybe other forward-thinking cities can boast this same anomaly, but walking in to a dive bar full of glazed-over old couples and shady 'hood denizens surely does not build anticipation for delicious pie. The midday (4pm-6pm) menu at the Muddy Rudder promises a $5 three-cheese personal pizza (in addition to $3 pints of craft beer) and I'd be a shame to the Slice organization to not take the bait. More
For me, the sign of a great pizza is my ability to eat beyond fullness, oblivious to the stress placed on my internal organs. The amount of Sunshine Tavern breakfast pizza consumed far exceeded my typical a.m. food limit. The beautiful pies being pulled from the compact Baker's Pride oven will inspire any food nerd and satisfy the soul. Sunshine Tavern's two egg breakfast pie easily falls into my top five Portland pizza experiences. More
Via Chicago is a food stand located at the PSU Saturday Farmers Market, essentially serving pizza for breakfast. The pizza takes a page from the Chicago bible in terms of pie construction; cheese and meat on the bottom, tomato and veggie on top, but that was where the Windy City similarities ended. More

Yesterday was interesting. I was talking to a guy about some bikes. He was about 65 or so, and was so far as I could see there was nothing abnormal at all. We chatted for maybe 10 minutes about different bikes, mostly the old Walmart vs bike shop discussion. As we were standing towards the front door, mid sentence, the guy started to stagger. He fell back a bit, catching himself in the doorway.
All the years in Boy Scouts kicked in. I started asking him the normal first responder type questions. "Sir, are you alright?" "Are you taking any medications?" "Have you taken any drugs or alcohol?" "Is there someone I can call?" No response. He seemed to be out of it, and I could not get any kind of sign out of him. As I walked back into the shop to grab a chair, he collapsed to the floor.
I ran back to him. He was breathing, but was in the same non responsive state as before. He had not hit his head, so I figured he was stable for the short term. I rolled him onto his back and went to call 911. By this time, he had not been in the shop 10 minutes.
After talking to the operator and getting the emergency response on the phone, services were dispatched. The fire hall is less than three blocks away, and they were here in less than 2 minutes. A fire truck, ambulance, and police cruiser all arrived that quickly. Within minutes, they had the man on a stretcher and took him away. Less than five minutes after they had arrived, they were all gone.
So there you have it. less than 15 minutes had passes since I was causally talking to guy about a Trek 3700. I was left with the most surreal feeling. There was no sign any of it had happened; the downtown was just as quiet as it had been before. The shop was quiet for the rest of the day. I hope the guy was alright. Crazy.

MYRTLE BEACH — A 3,500-pound great white shark has returned to the Carolina coastline.
A ping from a satellite tag on the 16-foot-long shark showed Mary Lee was just off the coast in Murrells Inlet on Friday morning.
Since being tagged last September, researchers say Mary Lee has traveled more than 13,285 miles along the east coast. The data show Mary Lee has been as far east as Bermuda and as far south as Jacksonville, Fla.
Mary Lee headed north in January. Shark researcher Chris Fischer says scientists know little about great whites and they are not quite sure why Mary Lee headed north so quickly.
Fischer is the founder of OCEARCH, a nonprofit dedicated to studying great whites and other large marine species.

The X Factor
The X Factor's Comeback Kid Diamond White on Her Whitney-Houston Inspired Resurrection — Exclusive
Don't call it an X Factor comeback... or, um, do. Because one moment, Diamond White was outskies, and then last night, she was back in(skies). Wetpaint Entertainment caught up with the 13-year-old singer to talk about her feelings on being cut, coming back, and moving on.
How did it feel to be back up on that stage after last week's elimination?
It felt really, really amazing. Being eliminated you kind of never realize that that's all over you know? It hit me hard after I sat down and I actually thought about it and I realized that I wasn't going to be on the show anymore. And knowing that I have a second chance to be on the show and to be the Melanie Amaro of the season, it's really cool and I'm happy to be back on stage.
What were you feeling right before you went on stage to perform?
Well this performance, every other performance I'm really anxious and ready to get on stage and just kind of nervous and excited. But this performance, this was a song I grew up listening to so I was really calm and I was like meditating and I was sort of thinking of Whitney and attributing this to her because I sort of became mini Whitney today with the whole white suit and the whole song. I thought that I embodied her well. But I just thought about the good stuff and the people that wanted me back and knowing that I could actually come back and sing for them, that's what I thought about. That's I think why I did awesome tonight.
What went through your mind after you heard the judge's comments?
Well when you're on stage you kind of don't realize you're on stage and it's live but after you sort of think about what they said and you're like WHOA I can't believe they said that to me. I was just so pleased with what they said.
Since you have been eliminated once is there anything you're going to do to mix up your strategy going forward in this competition?
Well I feel like I should keep my style the same. I did get eliminated but they did bring me back for a specific reason, so I feel like if I just keep my head in the game and just keep doing what I did previously, that I'll be fine.

On Wednesday, March 5, students from South Buffalo Charter School joined the Yroswell Street Team at the Kiss 98.5 FM studios to promote RPCI's Goin' Bald for Bucks program.
Univera Healthcare has committed to donate $95,000 to Roswell Park Cancer Institute's Esperanza y Vida initiative (Hope and Life), to address disparities in breast cancer, diabetes and cervical cancer within the Latino community in Western New York.

Dr. Kuettel will receive the 2014 ACRO gold medal at the organization's annual meeting in Orlando, Fla., today.
On Wednesday, February 19, students from West Seneca East High School visited DJ Anthony at the Kiss 98.5 FM studios to share why they are Goin' Bald for Bucks.

Another Boost for Burgeoning Genomics Program
You've probably been seeing and hearing the word "genomics" a lot in local and statewide media reports lately, and that's definitely good news.
Genomics is the science that makes personalized medicine possible. It involves analyzing tiny tissue samples using high-powered gene sequencers to produce a road map of a single person's genetic coding.
Looking Back, Moving Forward
As I take stock of the accomplishments of the Roswell Park community over the last year, two things strike me: the breadth and diversity of the projects that kept us busy over the course of 2013, and the participation of an ever-greater number of collaborators in these efforts. We truly have been firing on all cylinders, with help from a long list of partners.

Capital's Tree-planting Heroes recognised...
Filed under: Government News Green Space & Conservation
Capital's Tree-planting heroes recognised as Mayor calls on volunteer army to help make London leafier
• Tree-planting projects rewarded at the first RE:LEAF Awards
• 50,000 Trees set to be planted by the end of the mayoral term
• Nine boroughs receive last batch of Mayor's funding for new street Trees
Volunteers and Community Groups have been rewarded for helping to make the Capital greener by planting thousands of new Trees, as the Mayor Boris Johnson called on Londoners to help him meet an ambitious target of planting at least 50,000 during this Mayoral Term.
Among the winners of the RE:LEAF awards are:
• a project which has planted 1,200 street Trees for the benefit of residents and businesses;
• a nature reserve which has been transformed thanks to the efforts of an army of volunteers;
• a social enterprise which helps schoolchildren learn about the environment through visits to local Woodlands.
RE:LEAF, launched by the Mayor at the start of the year, is encouraging individuals, businesses and organisations to plant more Trees in the capital and value the social and environmental benefits of Trees. The partnership has brought together key organisations to boost Tree cover through a range of initiatives including the development of community orchards and Tree-nurseries, mass Tree planting events and voluntary Tree warden schemes.
Trees offer a range of benefits to the environment such as providing shade and cooling, helping to improve local air quality and making areas more attractive to both people and wildlife. The Mayor has a target to increase Tree cover from 20 per cent today to 25 per cent by 2025 by working with boroughs and other partners. This equates to a Tree for every new Londoner as London's population grows.
To mark National Tree Week, the Mayor has kickstarted a drive through his Team London initiative to recruit at least 4,000 volunteers to take part in mass Tree-planting, become Tree champions or join new Tree Warden networks, with the aim of planting, protecting and maintain neighbourhood Trees to help him reach the target of 50,000 Trees planted during this mayoral term.
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: "Making London a leafier and greener city by planting more Trees is one of the key ways we are helping to improve quality of life in the city.
"Hearty congratulations to all those Londoners who are being recognised through the RE:LEAF awards for rolling up their sleeves and helping us on this mission but there is more to be done.
"Working with our partners, and through Team London, there is a raft of opportunities available for people to get involved in Tree planting in their local area to ensure we meet our target to have 50,000 Trees take root by Spring next year."
The Forestry Commission's RE:LEAF Community Grant Scheme is a Tree and Woodland grant programme for London, delivered in partnership with social and environmental regeneration charity Groundwork London. The scheme funds projects which offer local communities an opportunity to improve their local environment. Those areas in greatest need are targeted, with a particular emphasis on improving the health and well-being of local communities. The programme has supported 171 projects, securing £1.5m investment resulting in the planting of 42,000 small Trees, 2,500 large Trees and encouraged the management and restoration of over 1000 has of London's Woodlands.
Chair of the Forestry Commission, Pam Warhurst, said: "The Forestry Commission is delighted to be a partner in the London RE:LEAF programme. The RE:LEAF awards evening is an important annual event when we can recognise organisations, individuals and schools that help to improve London through their dedication to Trees and Woodlands. London's Trees and Woodlands are highly regarded by those who live and work in our capital city. They make our streets more attractive and can help to bring communities together as well as providing shelter , reducing pollution and helping to mitigate against climate change."
In addition, the Mayor confirmed today where the final 650 of his 10,000 street Trees will be planted. Over the last three years of the mayoral term, 9,500 new street Trees have already been planted. Nine boroughs will be recipients of the final batch of Trees, which will be planted in areas where they are most needed.
Among today's RE:LEAF Award winners, honoured with a presentation ceremony at City Hall, are:
• street Tree award: London Borough of Barking and Dagenham street Tree Planting — the project, run by the borough supported by the Mayor's street Tree programme, has planted more than 1,200 new Trees, increasing street Tree cover in the borough by about 25 per cent;
• Community Trees and Woodland award: Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park – a nature reserve which is being maintained by a dedicated group of volunteers
• The Tree Council's Trees and Learning award: Joyden's Wood — managed by the Woodland Trust, the Joyden's Wood in Bexley has benefited thousands of local people through events and activities aimed specifically towards children and families.

2. The London Tree and Woodland Awards have been held annually for the past three years and have this year been rebranded the RE:LEAF Awards. These awards aim to recognise committed individuals, enterprising groups and organisations, and excellent projects that have promoted and enhanced the conservation and management of Trees and Woodlands in London. The awards are being held jointly by the Mayor of London and the Forestry Commission and are in part sponsored by Gristwood and Toms, a UK Tree management company.
3. The boroughs which will benefit from the remaining 500 new street Trees to be planted this winter are:
Bexley — Erith
Brent — Neasden
Camden — Central Camden and Kilburn
Hammersmith and Fulham — Hammersmith

Redbridge — Seven Kings and Goodmayes
Waltham Forest — Leyton North
Westminster — Paddington and Church street
Lambeth — Coldharbour
4. RE:LEAF aims to increase London's Tree cover from 20% to 25% by 2025. Working in partnership with the Forestry Commission and third sector organisations such as the Woodland Trust and Trees for Cities the Mayor is developing projects and initiatives to support Londoners to green the capital. For further information about the Mayor's RE:LEAF London campaign please visit www.london.gov.uk/releaf-london .
5. Team London is the Mayor's ambitious programme to mobilise an army of volunteers across the capital to improve life in London through programmes that will reduce crime, increase opportunities for youth and improve quality of life by cleaning and greening London and building stronger neighbourhoods. Since 2008, the Mayor's programmes have galvanised tens of thousands of Londoners into action and Team London is now seeking to encourage an additional 10,000 volunteers by May 2012. Please visit www.london.gov.uk/teamlondon for more information, to find and post volunteering opportunities, and to nominate your volunteering heroes for a certificate of recognition from the Mayor.

Council has eyes on Clerical office
Posted: August 13, 2009|
THE spectre of Clevedon's largest office complex lying empty for years could be averted by an unlikely saviour.
The town was dealt a devastating blow with June's announcement that Clerical Medical was closing its Castlewood office.
Almost 600 jobs will be lost from the town in the move, which has also had a shattering effect on other Clevedon traders.
But the Mercury can exclusively reveal that North Somerset Council is entering negotiations to take over the lease of the Tickenham Road offices.
Council leader Nigel Ashton has confirmed he has instructed officials to 'make this happen'.
He said: "As soon as I heard the office was being closed I thought it would be perfect for the council.
"I drive past it every day on my way from Portishead to Weston and it is well located, close to the motorway and with good public transport links."
Cllr Ashton said he wanted to assure people the move wouldn't come at the expense of the council's headquarters at Weston Town Hall.
He said: "My office and the chief executive's office would remain in Weston.
"But we have a number of small outlying offices in Nailsea, Long Ashton and other parts of Weston and it would be beneficial to have these staff working under one roof."
He added it would also provide a real boost to Clevedon's economy by helping to bring jobs back into the town.
He said: "This isn't about creating new jobs but over time simply through natural turnover, positions will become available in Clevedon.
"It would also provide us with a flagship base in the north of the district.
"We could hold north and central area planning meetings here to save residents having to travel to Weston and it would help with the perception in the north of the district that North Somerset Council has a Weston bias."
The proposals have been welcomed by traders in Clevedon, who have seen business decline since Clerical Medical staff started their phased move to Bristol.
Lesley Butler, landlord of the Old Inn, said: "Our lunchtime trade has dropped off significantly since people at Clerical Medical began fearing they'd lose their jobs.
"We'd welcome it if the council took over the building and kept this part of Clevedon busy."
Many people feared the office, which can cater for about 900 employees, would be too big for any private sector firm seeking to relocate during the economic downturn.
Cllr Ashton said the proposals were still at an early stage but he thought it was financially possible for the council to lease the building.
He said the office would be too big for the council on its own but it was in discussions with other public sector partners about sharing some of the space.
And as the council is currently going through a review of its internal support services, with some jobs being privatised, its private sector partners might also locate there.
He said it was inefficient and expensive for the council to run the smaller satellite offices it currently has and the savings made from closing those would offset the rent on Castlewood.
The building is owned by a Clerical Medical pension fund and Cllr Ashton said the council should be an attractive and secure long-term tenant for any landlord.
In April 115 posts were cut by Clerical Medical, owned by the Lloyds Banking Group, when it merged its sales teams with Scottish Widows.
In June it announced the closure of the office, with a further 30 posts being cut and 540 transferred to Bristol, though not all staff have opted to make the phased move, which will be complete by November.

Voice of the people
Immigration bill has hefty price tag
Everyone agrees that immigration reform is needed. A current bipartisan proposal heavily supported by one party would increase spending by $262 billion over 10 years while increasing revenue by $459 billion, for a deficit reduction of $197 billion in total. Additionally, it has $690 billion in projected deficit reduction in the second decade of implementation, from 2024 to 2033.
So why does this proposed bill have an uncertain future? Because the other party wouldn't support it unless they got to spend millions of dollars hiring new federal employees and infrastructure projects. The spend-happy party? The GOP. You know, the party that rails against out-of-control federal spending.
Immigration reform is necessary. And, yes, increasing border security should be a part of any comprehensive proposal. But the evolution of this bill should remind us that comprehensive, bipartisan efforts that offer real solutions often run counter to pre-packaged political rhetoric (e.g., Senator Manchin v. NRA).
We can only imagine what the GOP and conservative talking heads would be saying if it was the Republicans who wanted to save $1 trillion and the Democrats who wouldn't sign on unless they got to spend money. However, for now, we will have to make due with reality instead of the same old attacks from the Grand Old Party.

New Photo Blog
Taylor posted a new photo blog on her myspace. I haven't uploaded the pics, so head to blog to check it out.
Tuesday, February 23, 2010
Just got back from some cool places…(photo blog)
Hi guys :)
We just got back from Australia and Japan. I won't ever forget the people. Or the sky.
(Al took this picture in Brisbane.)
The Opera House in Sydney… That city sparkled.
I remember last year when we were in Australia for the first time, we went to go see a Coldplay concert on one of our days off.
It was at the giant arena there, and I remember thinking "Wouldn't it be amazing if someday down the line, we could play in this arena?"
Playing two nights in that arena less than a year later was something I'll never forget. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Sydney.
I met Liz in a meet and greet line a few years ago. Now she's my back up singer. And we have FUN!
I was walking in Brisbane, listening to music. And then I saw this tree, all by itself.
It looked so lonely, I thought I'd give it some attention and take a picture of it.
It's probably not lonely though. It's probably just independent.
I love sparkly things. Like crowds that look like this.
This kind of thing happens to Caitlin all the time.
Hiiiii guys!!!
A few hours off in Melbourne = beach.
Me, Grant's hair, and Caitlin.
Lacey, Liz, Charity, Claire. 3/5 of the girls in this shot are skilled, trained dancers. The other two are trained in frolicking.
I really liked that day.
My producer sent me this picture of the moment I'll never forget. I love you guys for making my life into this.
We were like "Woah. That is a GIANT bath tub. Let's see how many of us can fit in it for a picture." Four.
Anger! Drums! Battle! Hair!
We played 7 shows in 9 days in Australia. The fans gave us lots of awesome presents. My mom seemed to like this one.
(Those are tiny koalas hanging from the hat.. It's all about the fine details. What a work of art.))
Then we went to JAPAN!
Find the photo bomb. Go!
(Discovering unexpected guests in the background of my pictures upon upload = a new hobby for me.)
This was a restaurant where they shot a fight scene from Kill Bill. We all watched it again beforehand to properly prepare.
We all really liked it there.
The show in Tokyo was unbelievable and the fans were so welcoming to us, everywhere we went. I loved the presents and the letters. I can't wait to go back and play more shows.
I saw these fabric flowers in a store and thought, that's so incredibly lovely.
It was Valentine's Day. Tokyo was my Valentine.
Then we got on a plane. It was the first time I'd seen home in close to a month.
I've been writing lots of songs. And the tour is starting up again soon in the US. I love you guys.

When and how was your band created?
Battlelore was founded in 1999 when I, Jyri Vahvanen, decided to quit his other band projects where he was involved and started to create his own kind of metal music which is based to Mr. J.R.R.Tolkien's writings about fantasy world called Middle-earth. It was and still is a true passion to metal music and Tolkien's poetry. We just put those two things together.
Were is the name of the band coming from?
When you look at Middle-earth's history, you will find it very violent and full of battle's, fighting and tragedy. That combined "Folklore" results a very descriptive name for us, Battlelore.
What musicians or artists did have a major influence in your life / work?
I can't speak behalf of all of us, but personally my (Jyri) major influences are the bands like Rammstein, Runemagick, Rhapsody, Kotiteollisuus etc. I could continue the list forever but the one man who inspire me most is Mr.Tolkien.
What are the positive and negative aspects of being a musician / singer (in Finland)?
Positive aspects are that this is a really small country, so if you make the so called break-through as a musician, then everybody knows you and then of course it's easier to get gigs, publicity etc. but the negative thing is that you really can't do this for living. You have to have some other job 'cause the circles are so small in Finland that you can't do your living by just being a musician.
How could you qualify your style of music?
Our style comes from the genre of metal music. People call our music "Gothic/doom/deathmetal" etc. but we prefer the Fantasy Metal. I don't actually care that what people calls us 'cause it's a very thin line between the different genres. Anyway our music is very bombastic, epic and melodic metal.
Have you ever considered the possibilty to change totally your style of music? If so, what style of music would you choose?
I play and listen a lot of different kind of music and I love to play songs from here and there. But as long as Battlelore exists, we play metal.
What are stories/topics you tell/treat in your songs?
All of our songs are highly influenced by Tolkien's writings and medieval fantasy. So all of them
are based on our view of Tolkien's world and writings.
What is your favorite song in your repertoire and why?
There are many songs which I love and we just released our second album so it's much more nicer to play songs from that new album 'cause you have played the old ones so much already. I believe that my favourite song at the moment is "Sons of Riddermark" but it changes almost every day. It's all about the mood I have.
Do you tour regularly? Do you actually prefer performing your music live or in a studio?
We don't tour very regularly. We do occasional gigs time after time and sometimes we do a bigger tours but it's not very regular. Those both have their own good and bad sides.
When you are in the studio, the stress is much bigger and you have to be very focused all the time, but when you get something finished, the feeling is just amazing!
Touring and live playing is always great fun and definetily what we want to do, but the waiting when the show starts is really pressing.
During the process of making an album, what is the moment that you prefer?
The greatest moment in studio is when you here the final result and you are satisfied to it. Then you know that you have created something what really affect in your mind and hopefully it affect in somebody else too.
What kind of music / What artists do you currently listen?
I listen a lot of different kind of music as I already mention. A lot of old school black/death metal, industrial, meditation music, stoner rock, progressive rock, power metal etc.
My music taste is very versatile.
A stupid question but… what is among all the songs you've been listening in your life the BEST song?
This question is impossible to answer but just to mention one song from my endless list I prefer a song "Valtakunta" from the Finnish metal band called "Kotiteollisuus" because the feeling when you hear it is incredible!
You heart starts bouncing and you just want to bang your head. It's very simple song but it really has its feeling.
Internet is something interesting for musicians because it gives them the opportunity to touch a larger audience but it is also a threat for them (regarding the copyrights). What is your opinion regarding this medium?
Internet is a great invention but because it is so 'open' and popular, you can't avoid the negative things what comes with every good thing. Internet is a great place to make people know your art, but I just hate mp3 rip-offs!
Do you use computers or home studios during the process of making an album or a song?
Yes, a lot. Without computer technology our music would be very different. It's much more easier if you have home studio equipments 'cause making the demo tapes from you new material is always very important for the final result.
What are your actual and future projects?
Regarding Battlelore, our second album "Sword's Song" comes out in May 2003 so we just wait a feedback from the record and try to do touring as much as possible. Also a DVD compilation is released at the very same time, which was shooted throughout last year.
