Taste: ok, not great - May need to be refrigerated or finished quickly after opening
2 people found the following review helpful
Posted by emanuela on Apr 26, 2014
First time I've purchased this: I don't care much about the taste. It is ok, mind you, and healthier than the alternatives, hence my purchase. PROBLEM: Some white ball-shaped items have formed on top (as if it were mould, not sure what it is) and I am unsure if I should bin the item.
Not for me :(

Someone suggested this to me as a great alternative to soy sauce. But I honestly don't enjoy this product as much as soy sauce. It tastes quite different, like a watered down or very weak fish sauce. If you absolutely can't use soy sauce, then you might appreciate this product as an alternative.
couldn't get used to it

stopped using this after a few tries. could have been psychological, but i don't think so, because when i tried it, it really did taste of coconut blended with soy sauce as an asian person, i didn't really like it…but you'll probably be fine eating it if you haven't grown up with soy sauce at every meal
Not for me

Garden type
The African lily (Agapanthus) is a very popular lily. By breeding more than 600 different species appeared. The African lily is a summer-flowering perennial, which is not winter-hardy in Northern Europe and is grown primarily as a pot plant. In our climate it is therefore mainly used as a tub plant.
Allium (ornamental onions) have no less than 500 species, each prettier or more unusual in shape than the last. Ornamental Onions are ideal for making colour and height combinations in the garden or border.
Anemones (Anemone) are also known as 'wind-flowers' because they move in the slightest breeze. They are lovely, delicate flowers that command great admiration when planted in large numbers. Most anemones belong to the buttercup family and are native to Southern-Europe and Asia-minor.
The Iris Germanica or bearded iris originates, contrary to what its name suggests, from Southern Europe. This perennial is a real eye catcher in any garden and comes into flower as soon as Tulips and Narcissi have ceased flowering from late May and blooms throughout June.
Tuberous and other begonias are typical outdoor plants that are famous for their rich flowering in the summer months. With suitable care it is possible to encourage even richer flowering.
First of all, we would like to clear up a widespread misunderstanding: Bulbs are not Tubers!
A bulb is in fact a complete plant, lying all curled up, waiting to unfold. If you cut a bulb in half, an onion for instance, all the tunics and eyes are visible inside the bulb. These are the future stalks, leaves and flowers.
The words 'surprising', 'unusual' and 'glorious pink' spring to mind when we consider the magnificent Cyclamen Hederifolium. This plant flowers in (late) autumn. It has to be planted in early spring if it is to flower the following autumn, so you need to order your bulbs by March at the latest. Let us take a closer look at this magnificent plant.
Indoor bulbs can be enjoyed all year round. In order for the bulbs to bloom they first need a cold period. You can simulate this cold period by potting the bulbs and putting them in a dark place for 3 months at a constant temperature of 9° C.
The scientific name of the Day Lily is Hemerocallis, or "Beauty for one day". And the flowers of this plant do indeed bloom for just one day, although come the next day the plant is covered with brand new flowers, so you may not notice this. Amazing!
Dahlias are very conspicuous highlights in the September garden. A multitude of shapes and colours begin to appear in the garden, providing eye-catching and colourful accents when many other plants have lost their colour. In late summer the dahlia is one of the most beautiful plants due to its long, exuberant flowering and overwhelming colour. They should certainly not be missing in any garden!

Apple today issued invitations to the media for an event next Wednesday, March 7, where it's expected to launch the next generation of Apple tablet the - iPad 3. Invitations to join this corporate event to be held in San Francisco were received by bloggers and reporters alike.
Apple will host the launch event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, a regular venue for the company's press-only announcements and where former CEO Steve Jobs introduced the iPad 2 on March 2, 2011.
Most experts believe the iPad 3 will feature a higher-resolution screen, a faster processor - perhaps Apple's first quad-core - and more internal memory. They have been split on whether the new tablet will support the faster LTE data networks like those now being deployed in the U.S. by Verizon and AT&T.
Apple's iPad 3 is expected to feature a high-definition 2,048 x 1,536-pixel Retina Display, a new quad-core Apple A6 processor, a more powerful battery, embedded 4G LTE connectivity, an 8-megapixel camera and an exterior design that is very similar to the current iPad 2 but with a slightly modified case. New features tied to the next major build of Apple's mobile platform are expected to be on display next week as well, and we took a quick hands-on look at iOS 5.1 earlier this month.
The following video provides an insight into the Top 5 Features expected in the iPad3
Apple has not said anything about the price of the new iPad -- some recent rumors have claimed it will cost about $80 more than current models -- when it will go on sale or even the official name of the tablet.

Gainward GTX780 Ti Phantom Single and SLI Review
Published: 23rd December 2013 | Source: Gainward | Price: £599 each |
Unquestionably the biggest performance gains from moving between a single card and an SLI arrangement are had at the more extreme resolutions, and the Gainward Phantom, especially when overclocked, really shines in the more demanding CatZilla tests, gaining 10000 and 7000 points respectively in the 1080P and 1440P benchmarks.
Most Recent Comments
We have managed to get the Phantom twins in bed together for some GTX780 Ti Sli goodness! Ohhh Matron!

Great review .
I thought these Gainward versions would be some of the more expensive non ref 780Tis. Others I have seen knocking about are �630-�650+ these coming in at �600 isn't bad.
Saying that though, It's hard to talk about the price of them with a strait face, the price of the 780Ti is general is bad. But at least these Gainward ones are cheaper than the others that are about.
That being said I can't help but smile or laugh when I look at the price, even the price of one is out of my price range if I were to build a whole rig.
I do like the design of these gainward cards, the fans behind the fins and the ability to remove the fans are a truly fantastic feature for cleaning the cards and they don't look bad either.
There a problem with that? Batman games arent the most graphically demanding games but many people do like them and this shows what people can expect on such cards. More different games with different engines in a review is a plus for everyone.
Now it still consumes time and work so i won't get my hopes up.
I'm waiting for the next generation of GPU's to come out. Can't wait for 2014/15. I love my 770 SC, no problems and runs well. Gonna go way bigger then what I currently have in the coming years. Def SLI setup, watercooled and a HUGE SSD drive. Also curious to see what kind of RAM we will all be using at that point in time.

Are they custom PCB? I seem to recall the Phantom cards in the past have been.
The price is the main downside of these cards though, as is often the case with Nvidia cards. I mean for the price of one of these you could just about get 2 AMD R9 290s. While you then have the noise and heat issues associated with that I have to think for the price you'd have better performance?
As much as I like the Nvidia cards I also have to wonder how much of a difference Mantle will make and how widely used it will be.
Only reason I went with a 290 over a 780. I had a 780 in my basket at one retailer and a 290 in my basket at another ready to click buy on one and in the end it came down to me wanting to see how Mantle turns out. Even if Mantle doesn't catch on, not much was lost. And if it does catch on and is widely used, then performance was gained
If you neglect price (let's be honest, price becomes less important when you have people looking at this end of the market), then a 780 up against a Titan, up against a 780 Ti, there's not much in it once you start overclocking and fiddling around. Really, the 780 is only a few percent below a Titan, the Titan and the Ti are even closer, the biggest thing the Ti has going for it is that the memory can clock much higher than the Titans. 8k vs 7k (ish).
The downside is that it's still sittng at 3GB VRAM with for more than 1 screen, or 4K, is most definitely not too ideal. nVidia afaik have also said they aren't pushing out a 'black' or 6GB edition of the 780 Ti either.
At least that was the last I heard from their HQ

Feasibility Study Guideline for Public Private Partnership Projects
This report presents a framework for PPP feasibility study at the early phase of project development. The financing analysis process model is developed and refined for the guideline. An Excel-based software package named P3FAST is developed and attached with the research report to facilitate the PPP feasibility study for transportation agencies. An example is discussed to demonstrate the analysis process and outcome. Three types of PPP models are compared and evaluated to achieve a feasible financing structure. The report includes two volumes: Volume I Research Report and Volume II Feasibility Study Guideline.
"Successful Delivery of Public-Private Partnerships
for Infrastructure Development."
Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, American Society of Civil Engineers, ASCE, 133(12), 918-931. Abdel Aziz, A. M (2007).
Website [ Login/password required]
Two common approaches have been used by governments for the implementation of public-private partnerships (P3s): a finance-based approach that aims to use private financing to satisfy infrastructure needs, and a service-based approach that aims to optimize the time and cost efficiencies in service delivery. The implementation of P3s, however, may suffer from legal, political, and cultural impediments. In the United States, the federal government enabled a number of acts to ease the impediments and promote P3s for infrastructure development. Based on a detailed analysis of P3s in the United Kingdom and British Columbia, Canada, this paper describes principles that would characterize the implementation of P3s at the program level (e.g., whether the implementation is successful). The principles pertain to the: availability of a P3 legal framework and implementation units; perception of the private finance objectives, risk allocation consequences, and value-for-money objectives; maintenance of P3s process transparency; standardization of procedures; and use of performance specifications. Guidelines for successful implementation are explained and discussed in the context of the United States P3s experience and impediments.
"A Survey of the Payment Mechanisms for Transportation
DBFO (P3) Contracts in British Columbia"
Construction Management and Economics, 25(5), 492-543 (London, UK). Abdel Aziz, A. M (2007).
Website [ Login/password required]
In traditional project delivery systems, payment mechanisms provide compensation for the work performed using construction capital payments. In the alternative public-private partnership (P3) systems, payment mechanisms follow the selected P3 system. For example, the build-operate-transfer system provides compensation based on project demand using real-tolls usage payments; the design-build-finance-operate (DBFO) system provides shadow-tolls usage payments; and the performance-based DBFO system provides compensation based on contractor's performance using service availability payments. Designing the payment structure is an important task where several factors have to be considered. This paper analyses the implementation of payment mechanisms in a number of DBFO transportation projects in BC, Canada, in terms of payment structure, payment types and characteristics, determination and funding. The analysis provides insights for the design of payment mechanisms. The analysis shows that more payment types are being used and that the mechanisms are designed to achieve specific government objectives. The analysis refers to a new 'hybrid' payment mechanism with elements derived from the traditional and the P3 systems. The hybrid system may have potential to minimize the overall project cost; however, agencies have to be flexible in the delivery concepts as combinations of payments for inputs, usage and services might have to be used.
"A Structure for Government Requirements in Public-Private
Partnerships "
Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 28(6), 891-909. Abdel-Aziz, A. M. and Russell, A.D. (2001).
Website [ Login/password required]
A spectrum of requirements for the procurement of public infrastructure under various public-private partnership arrangements has been communicated by governments to the private sector participants. This paper suggests a structure for these requirements and demonstrates how they have been realized in public-private partnership projects. Government requirements are categorized and described under a structure of three dimensions: rights, obligations, and liabilities. Each dimension is further defined and explained through a number of attributes. The structure provides insights as to the basis for the different modes under public-private partnerships such as build-operate-transfer, build-own-operate-transfer, and build-transfer-operate. The structure is used to examine government requirements in a number of public-private partnership transportation projects. The results show that, for each dimension and its related attributes, comprehensive and clear articulation of government requirements is generally needed. This will reduce the amount of supplemental materials issued for the request for proposals, help consortiums in responding with proposals that can fit the requirements and reduce the amount of time spent in negotiations and (or) the need for contract amendments to reflect marketplace realities missed earlier.
"Public-Private Partnerships and the Development
of Transport Infrastructure: Trends on Both Sides of the Atlantic"
First International Conference on Funding Transportation Infrastructure. Perez, Benjamin G. (PB Consult) and James W. March (FHWA). Institute of Public Economics at the University of Alberta. (August 2006).
This investigation focuses on how forces - such as the will of the government to extract resources to meet the public's needs and the extent to which the national economy can produce them - have shaped the use of P3s in developing transport infrastructure in Europe and the United States. It begins by describing the different ways the public and private sectors collaborate to develop transport infrastructure in the United States and then compares recent experience and emerging trends in P3 applications on both sides of the Atlantic.

Roadrunner & Artist News
Interview With A Murderdoll (Tripp)
Posted on February 12, 2008Interview With A Murderdoll (Tripp Eisen): Chris Misutka in our US office caught up with Tripp Eisen for a little chat about the Murderdolls... and here is what they had to say for themselves.
Roadrunner Records: Describe Murderdolls in three words or less.
Tripp Eisen: I-Don't-Know. Actually, Murderdolls is something I always wanted to do. That's why Joey and I get along so well. We share a similar vision and we have similar tastes. We might not like the same exact bands, but the whole point is having a heart of metal - like in Slayer and Manowar - heavy bands like that, yet still be a glam guy and puttin' on lipstick. That's the dichotomy of the whole thing. It's like how many people are into Slayer equally as much as Motley Crue.
Roadrunner: That's actually perfect right there. That last line is the best I've ever heard it summed up thus far.
Tripp: Yeah, that's pretty much it. Joey doesn't like so much to compare musical styles, but I mean to really want to know what Murderdolls sounds like…you've heard the stuff (Murderdolls) right?
Roadrunner: Hell yes.
Tripp: How would you describe it? Like people want to know band names. Describe Coal Chamber, they sound like Korn.
Roadrunner: The way you actually put it there was definitely perfect - equal parts Slayer and Motley Crue.
Tripp: Murderdolls I would describe as a mix of Motley Crue, Ramones, Marilyn Manson, Twisted Sister - there's elements of all of those bands that we love. Joey's drumming reminds me of Dave Lombardo - his fast drumming and shit. But he works it into the context of rock 'n' roll where it's tasteful, and it's fuckin' cool as shit. And it's trashy, glam-trashy, type of styles. Wednesday (vocals), you hear little elements of Alice Cooper and Kiss. All those things are all in there because that's what makes up the guys in the band.
Roadrunner: Murderdolls is simply a combined product of what you guys are, the schools of music you come from. Hanoi Rocks, have you heard of Hanoi Rocks?
Tripp: Yeah exactly, that's trashy, there's elements of that shit in there. But unless you're familiar with it, you wouldn't know it.
Roadrunner: You and Joey basically started this band, correct?
Tripp: No, Joey had a band with the original singer Dizzy back in '95, '96. They formed it with just the idea of having a punk-metal, glammy trash type of band in Des Moines. I've seen the tapes - it started off as a cool punkish type project and they played shows - and they were just as legitimate of a band in Des Moines as Slipknot at the time. But Joey put it on hold, put everything into Slipknot. Once you get in a signed band, you put all of your other things (projects) on hold. Everyone has some other bands, similar to what I did in Dope. Around 1999, I met Joey on the Coal Chamber/Slipknot/Dope tour. We got to know each other. Come 2000, he was like, well, he was a rock star. He wanted to start pulling his side project back into the picture, and he wanted to find musicians. He and I saw eye-to-eye, so he invited me - I was the first person he invited into the band, along with the singer. We did a couple of shows and it was a lot of fun, you know, pulled in some different musicians. We just played in January, and that's when we met Wednesday, who became the vocalist because he and Joey clicked so well in the studio. And with Wednesday's songs, The Rejects just became the Murderdolls - which we were going to change the name anyway. It's not like we got rid of the singer and it's a new band. It's just an evolution.
Roadrunner: How does playing in this band compare to playing in the rest of the bands you've experienced (Dope, Static X)?
Tripp: This band is more similar to Dope, but it has more of a glam-trashy, crotch grabbing thing to it. One of the questions we were getting asked was, "Why are you guys doing this?" To be honest, because I feel like I have the best handle on it, because Joey obviously wants to come out and play guitar, guitar was his first instrument even before drums - it's cool to come out and play guitar after you're behind the drums for a while…cause Wednesday always wanted to sing and this is exactly what he wants to do. What's my reason for it? Cause I'm still playing guitar and this thing we're doing with the Murderdolls is something special, it's something that has been lost and is not in the music scene today. Which is something from the '80's, which is a dirty word, '80's, you know?
Roadrunner: Love it, love hearing you talk about it like that...it's true, this is missing…
Tripp: But the thing is, it's back to the Motley Crue. That's the best band to describe it. That Motley Crue, crotch-grabbing, stick your tongue out, point the finger, and say "fuck you". Twister Sister and even Kiss from the '80s, that whole glam, sleaze, fuckin' rock 'n' roll trash shit - that's what Murderdolls is at the heart.
Roadrunner: What do you think the difference will be between the tour you're doing with Static X compared to going out with the Murderdolls in the near future?
Tripp: The biggest difference is gonna be the audience. There's so many crossovers now, it's gonna be very different. What I'm hoping is that we're going to cross boundaries. Murderdolls is gonna have more of the kids who want to dress up. There's going to be older people from the '80's and they're going to catch on to what we're doing - kinda like Static X, we get some older people who are like, "Wow, Ministry"…they can hear the influences in Static X. Murderdolls people are going to hear those influences. Some older people might hear the Alice Cooper or Rob Zombie, there are different spooky influences that turn people on. There's going to be the Marilyn Manson type of gothic kids that are going to catch on to what we're doing. Slipknot fans, there's still a theatrical thing going on - Slipknot with the masks and pyro. So there's still shock-rock to a degree. And that's what the Murderdolls is also. Hopefully Slipknot fans will be into it. Marilyn Manson fans, Static X fans - the whole gamut. Type O Negative pulls in a lot of strange people - metal fans, goth fans.
Roadrunner: You get a lot of hot chicks at Type O concerts, too:
Tripp: Yeah. Murderdolls is poised to do what Poison did in the '80's, where there's a female contingency in the crowd…we're going to throw that percentage way up. Hopefully Murderdolls will attract up to half or more...
Roadrunner: Personally, if I go to a show and see a lot of hot chicks, the band is doing something right.
Tripp: We want this thing to blow up, but if it doesn't blow up we can still say we're doing this because we love to do it. And if a bunch of people want to give us the finger and say "Fuck you, you're wearing lipstick", we're taking a Motley Crue/Twisted Sister attitude like "Fuck you, we'll kick your ass". Though, we're not really wearing that much makeup, but it's more glammy than what people are used to.
Roadrunner: OK, so we're already talking a bit about chicks…I have to ask, because I've seen it in so many features - What was the porn situation in Dope?
Tripp: It's really just friends of Matt Zane, the director. Just through Matt Zane we'd do different things like backstage sluts videos.
Roadrunner: Were you in any of them?
Tripp: Well, I was there when they filmed it, but I didn't partake in anything. It was just a series of videos he did with different bands - Korn, Limp Bizkit, Orgy, Papa Roach - a bunch of bands were all in Matt Zane videos. It's cool to be involved with a guy who's into porn and around porn chicks, but c'mon, lets be honest, it's not like you're fuckin' Vivid girls or anything. Matt Zane is a cool guy, he's super cool and everything, but it's not cream of the crop. If you're going to be involved in porn, why not go to Vivid or something?
Roadrunner: Or Germany, if ya know what I mean…
Tripp: Well, if I was going to do some porno thing, I would channel it myself and contact Vivid or Club magazine. I got a connection with a photographer at Club that I want hook up with the Murderdolls and do a real fuckin' cool thing - like what Motley Crue did Oui magazine way back when…
Roadrunner: Oh really?…
Tripp: Yeah, do something fucking COOL, you know? A photo shoot with fuckin' naked porn stars, you know? HOT ones, not fuckin' D grade or C+. HOT porn stars like Jenna Jameson, Brianna Banks, the cream of the crop.
Roadrunner: Speaking of which, how did the inaugural Murderdolls photo shoot go?
Tripp: The photo shoot was awesome…I think this band is ready to rip up the country and make it a party.
Roadrunner: Eric and Ben, bass and drums. Tell us about them.
Tripp: Eric I've known for a year or two just on the LA scene and he's really cool. He's just a good guy that I got to know. He was on a Static-X video shoot and that's when I exchanged numbers with him - not for any real reason, I just thought he was a cool guy. Later it just so happened that we needed a bass player. I was like, well, he plays guitar, I'm sure he can play bass. I contacted him, and he said he played bass in several bands, and I said. "Well, we're also looking for a drummer." At first he was hesitant, then he goes, "well, my drummer's pretty damn good and he's a friend of mine from back east" (they're both from the Boston area). They just came as a package, it was really cool. I met them, I jammed with them and videotaped it because we were under the gun. I sent Joey the videotapes and he reviewed it, and Joey is very pick with drummers, obviously, and it just worked out. It worked out perfectly, like it was meant to be.
Roadrunner: What's in your CD player right now?
Tripp: Murderdolls mixes…other than that, the new Manowar that came out a couple of weeks ago.
Roadrunner: What was the first CD you bought?
Tripp: Kiss got me into music. It went from Kiss to Motley Crue to Metallica. AC/DC was a big influence. There weren't CD's back then.
Roadrunner: I know, I know. BUT when CD's were FIRST made, back in 1990, 1991, what was the first CD you ever purchased?
Tripp: I think it was RUSH actually…Yeah. It might have been RUSH, but that doesn't fall to well into my influences. RUSH is a spiritual influence, like Manowar. RUSH, U2, bands that influenced me emotionally and spiritually. But my playing influences are more along the lines of Kiss, Slayer, Overkill, Metallica, Motley Crue, AC/DC, Judas Priest. That's where I cut my teeth as far as playing guitar and learning styles.
Roadrunner: So I'm not going to get a straight answer on this one, ya?
Tripp: Exactly.
Roadrunner: Song from the Murderdolls disc that keeps going through your head?
Tripp: "Love at First Fright". It's kind of a more poppy song, but it's just so good and the subject matter is funny. It's just a great song. That song I put on my stereo and play it for my friends, and am like, "Fuckin' A, listen to this song." It's just so cool.
Roadrunner: Any interesting stories from the recording of the album?
Tripp: No crazy stories. I went in there and cut my leads, and just had a great time with the guys. It was very painless, and it was a lot of fun.
Roadrunner: Longest day in the studio?
Tripp: 8 hours.
Roadrunner: Shortest day?
Tripp: 8 hours.
Roadrunner: One day, one night?
Tripp: No, it was a couple of days. It was a lot of fun. It wasn't some grueling thing. I guess Wednesday's vocals were grueling - he did a 14-hour stretch at one point singing. Joey was amazed at his performance. Wednesday was under the gun because he had to get back to work and Joey flew him out for the sessions and it was kinda intense for him. For me, I came out and, you know, just laid my parts down, I knew the stuff. They were actually changing things in the studio for Wednesday and making up vocals on the spot. It was a crazed thing. It's amazing the fact that 50% - 60% just came to be in the last 6 months. So even though the band has been around since '96, there's not that many songs from the past era of the Rejects. The Murderdolls is such a fresh thing.
Roadrunner: What's the solo situation? Is it enjoyable playing guitar solos for once?
Tripp: I've always played solos in past bands. The band before Dope, solos were going out, so I didn't play that much. And Dope, they weren't that much into solos. But if you look at the first Dope album, there are about 5 guitar solos. I played what I wanted to play, and it was cool. You can hear the consistency of the styles. Static X, I didn't play on the last album, Wayne wanted solos. He was going to have Koichi play solos, but Koichi left the band, and Wayne wasn't much of a soloer. He wanted solos on the last Static-X album, so there will be solos on the next Static-X album.
Roadrunner: What's the first guitar you ever bought?
Tripp: My first guitar was a crappy no-name acoustic, crappy no-name electric, then I got an Ibanez Iceman like Paul Stanley had.
Roadrunner: You're from New Jersey, right?
Tripp: Correct.
Roadrunner: Bon Jovi or Bruce Springsteen?
Tripp: Neither. I hate all that shit. I've kinda come to respect Bon Jovi. Listening to the story of how he made it, and how that album Slippery When Wet came to be, it's just a very interesting story. I share the same kind of heart and soul, coming out of New Jersey, I know where he came from and it's very interesting. But the music, I hate that shit.
Roadrunner: I hated Jovi so much back in the day, but as more time goes on, you gotta respect the guy.
Tripp: I warm up to it and I respect it, the music, Richie Sanbora and all of the other shit. But, it's like, in the '80's, anything gay like that… even Motley Crue after the 3rd album got gay with Girls, Girls, Girls. Dr. Feelgood was a good song, there's just so much gay, stupid crap. Twisted Sister turned really stupid after a few albums. The first couple of albums of a band are usually good. Very few bands stick to their guns.
Roadrunner: Wildwood or Belmar?
Tripp: Belmar? Where's that. Wildwood I'd have to say.
Roadrunner: First tour dates coming up. What can the people expect out there?
Tripp: Murderdolls are here to do it right and do it better than anyone else, and I feel like we're going to stomp all over everybody. There's a lot of cool bands, a lot of bands with energy, but we're gonna take it home and do it right and people are going to be blown away - They're going to be like, "Fuck!" We're going to have the monsters, the horror, the sex, the trash, the violence, everything people need. And we're going to do it better than anyone else is doing anything.
Roadrunner: Famous last words?
Tripp: I'm just excited to hit the world with Wednesday on vocals 'cause he's just such a good guy, he's a great person, a great friend, and I just think that the world needs something like that. In the '80's, there were a lot of Alice Cooper influenced people, like Blackie Lawless, Dee Snyder, then Marilyn Manson was the next Alice Cooper influenced guy. I just think that Wednesday is right in that line of succession. He's going to be the next cool, big, excellent thing that people are going to be like, "Fuck, yes!" Give kids something to get behind. Give kids a movement to get behind. It's just time for some new blood. There hasn't been anything since Manson, really. Motley Crue took over, then Guns 'n' Roses took over, then Marilyn Manson took over. Korn is the nearest thing I can say - Pantera, Korn, and Marilyn Manson in the '90's til right now. There has to be some new band and I feel we're it.

Dear all,
I graduated from university about 5 years ago and have been working as an Electronics engineer for a very small company < 10.
My role is invloved in the devlopment of low power instrumentation typically invloving PIC micros. I typically design the whole product from designing the circuit and pcb layout in Altium to wrting the firmware in embedded C. Earlier this year I decided to look around and get another job to learn new skill and progress. This has not gone very well the interviews I have had the employers only really want very Senior engineers with loads of experience in very specific areas and I find find I am missing some skill or other. I have seen a position for a more technician level job at a world famous company but I am thinking of using it as an opportunity to shine at that role and then progress. I know I can do the job as I do much production testing and practical work(wiring/soldering etc) in my my current role (v small company so its all hands to pump) so thats not the issue.
So how do I handle the fact that I have been involved in design but want to take a step back to go forwards as it were?
24 September 2012 03:23 PM
Avoid indicating it is a step back, of course.
I would inform them that you currently carry out a lot of production and testing etc., work and enjoy it and think you already have good skills but would like to develop them further and so are looking for a more 'hands on' production role. You feel this would also develop you to have a more rounded exerience and knowledge which you feel is important for an engineer. This would be because no matter what particular job you are doing you can then consider how your work would affect other parts of the supply chain and how you could suggest improvements in different areas and how you could then communicate with the different job functions in order to produce a high quality product....bla bla bla.
Something along those lines, but of course change the wording and/or add to it etc., to suit your line of work.
24 September 2012 03:56 PM
First, is it a step back financially? If it isn't, reasons for moving become obvious and understandable. You want the opportunity to work in amore formal design environment, learn from other engineers, etc, etc.
I assume from what you say that you're looking for a job in a design/development role, rather than production. In which case i'd look carefully at the technician job because in quite a few companies it's not very easy to move from production into D&D.
I don't know what your present company is like, but in a lot of small companies design is bit 'suck it and see' rather than proper formal design taking account of all tolerances etc. This of course isn't much good for mass production and so makes some recruiters wary.
If the technician job doesn't work out, how about looking at the engineering jobs that call for 2-3 years experience rather than the five you have. It's always a problem when you try to change context - you probbaly know your present application inside out but it's not necessarily transferable.
It can be done - I've changed industries several times in my career, after I had a lucky break switching from an over-specialised engineering job to a development technician for a big company.
Good luck!
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.
25 September 2012 08:54 AM
Fully agree with Stewart. I've done this twice in my career: in both cases it was a step down both in role and salary but both allowed me to very effectively bypass a "road block" in the previous company. BUT (using hindsight) both times the companies involved identified at interview that I would have potential to grow in their company, and that they were interested in that, otherwise they would probably not have offered me the job. A company that just wants a technician will probably see you as a risk: yes you could do the job, but you would get bored and leave. The company you want is one that sees this as an opportunity to get someone in to solve an immediate staff shortage well, but with the opportunity to take on more as time allows.
So, be clear in your application that you are looking for an opportunity to learn new skills from the ground up, and don't undersell yourself otherwise you could be offered a really dead end job.
Hope all goes well,

Many thanks for your replies. Financially the role will be a bit of a drop but the role is actually within walking distance and as I am currently commuting >30miles a day it will probably even itself out in reduced travelling.
I think the best thing I can do is apply go to the interivew (if selected) and check things out. The company in question do take on design engineers so I don't see why there should not be a route there perhaps.

Mental Error #19 - Sensemaking. We Fell For It.
"We understand life backwards, but live it forwards." - Soren Aabye Kierkegaard (Danish philosopher and theologian, 1813-1855) "We don't like uncertainty. We have a need to understand and make sense of events. We refuse to accept the unknown. We therefore seek explanations for why things happen." - Seeking Wisdom, page 91. We see this all the time in the media. Experts can always look back at events and tell us why they think they happened and how it should have been obvious that the event was coming. The current financial meltdown is one example. Everybody's an expert. The problem is that we don't take into account chaos and randomness. There are a lot of books out there about human irrationality right now, so I won't go into too much detail. Check out Fooled By Randomness by Nassim Taleb. Here at Bodybuilding.com, we were victims of this error in one of our leadership meetings. Each Wednesday we meet to check out the latest customer loyalty numbers (net promoter scores, etc.), customer feedback, customer success stories, and much more. We do this to make sure we all know how our customers are feeling, what problems they are having and what they want. It's the most important thing we do! One week we pulled up our latest customer loyalty rating and noticed that it dropped. Ugh! So we immediately started asking ourselves why it happened. We came up with all sorts of answers.
"It's that change we made to one of our customer service processes! I knew it!" "We ran out of samples last week in the warehouse again!" "The holiday messed up the shipping times since FedEx didn't deliver on Monday, and customers are mistakenly blaming us for the delay!" We thought we had it all figured out. How smart we are! Then we noticed something funny. We were looking at the wrong chart. We were not looking at the customer loyalty SCORE, but the number of customers that rated us this week. The number of customers that rated us went down (it fluctuates all the time) and we thought we were looking at a chart showing that our customers were not as happy with us this week. Then we looked at the correct chart. Customer ratings actually WENT UP this week!
I immediately laughed. We fell victim to one of the mental errors that I'm always reading about. We thought everything made sense. Does this happen to you?

More Reasons That Bodybuilding Rules...
Here is the new tagline that I just made up for the sport of bodybuilding:
Bodybuilding: It's Not Just For Looks. Why? Because more and more studies keep coming out that PROVE that bodybuilding is the best thing you can do to improve your overall life. That's a big, bold statement, but scientific studies back it up. Bodybuilding gives you health, longevity, a positive mood, energy, self-confidence, and allows you to be healthy and feel great so you can be a better spouse, parent, volunteer, employee, and much more. Without your health, you have nothing. Two new studies have just come out: -------------------------------------------
STUDY 1: Men Who Lift Weights Reduce Their Cancer Risk By 40%! From the study:
"A team of experts, led by scientists from Sweden's Karolinska Institute, tracked the lifestyles of 8,677 men aged between 20 and 82 for more than two decades. Each volunteer had regular medical check ups that included tests of their muscular strength. Between 1980 and 2003, researchers monitored how many developed cancer and subsequently died from it. The results showed men who regularly worked out with weights and had the highest muscle strength were between 30 and 40 per cent less likely to lose their life to a deadly tumour."
BODYBUILDING BENEFIT #183: Reduce your risk of cancer and spend more time alive with your family and friends! -------------------------------------------
STUDY 2: Boost Your Mood For 12 Hours With Physical Activity From the study:
"The study enrolled healthy men and women to complete a survey about their mood states at one-, two-, four-, eight-, 12- and 24-hour intervals following either exercise or rest. Although previous studies have found enhanced mood for up to an hour after exercise, this study found benefits for up to 12 hours following activity, compared to the resting group."
BODYBUILDING BENEFIT #329: Enhance your mood for 12 hours by working out! Imagine what you can accomplish with a good mood for 12 hours a day, and imagine how your relationships with your family and friend would improve. Are you giving them your BEST right now? Probably not if you aren't working out. ------------------------------------------- If you aren't bodybuilding, you aren't living your best life, no matter what your goals are. Here at Bodybuilding.com, we are helping more and more people around the world to benefit from working out and eating right. It's our company's mission! We are making a big difference in every part of our customers' lives. I know we can do MORE to help even more people, and we'll never stop improving our site and service. Oh, and even though bodybuilding isn't
JUST FOR LOOKS, it's still a nice side benefit that can get some positive attention:

A Good Fitness Quote...
I read this the other day and loved it: "You'll either make time to workout now, or you'll spend that same amount of time being sick later." I know which option I'll choose!
My 2009 Personal Goals...
I'm a little late posting this, but I wanted to share this with everybody like I did last year. I do this for a few reasons: 1. I want to motivate you to create your own goal list (written, not just spoken) and share them with others. That's the SECRET to actually achieving them, according to many studies on success. 2. I want YOU to hold me accountable to each of these things! I'll feel like an idiot if I say that I have a certain goal and then you catch me not doing it. This is good motivation for me! Below are my life goals for 2009. It's similar in style to the ones I wrote in 2008. I reached most of my goals in 2008, and I'm taking things to another level in 2009! I'm posting this list on my wall in my office and on my mirror in my bathroom so I can read it while brushing my teeth (so that will be at least once a week… perfect!). Please reply to this blog entry and post a link to yours. If you are serious about getting to where you want in life, you will do it. You will plan your life and write down your dreams and goals and the steps it will take to get there. You will share them with others. You will create action plans. Otherwise, you'll be wandering aimlessly through life, wondering why you can't seem to get anywhere, and making excuses. That's a proven fact!
Ryan's Goal Plan For 2009 Where will I be at the end of 2009? Smarter, focusing on the long-term every day, in great shape, IFR-rated with more flying experience, having an even better relationship with my family, with kids that are smart, confident and growing in every way, and feeling good! Or will I waste my time and efforts? I only get one chance at 2009.
FAMILY/PERSONAL 1. Continue spending a ton of quality time with Bryna and kids 2. Do something romantic at least twice per month 3. More learning activities (social, emotional, physical, spiritual, educational) together with kids 4. Continue going to Church on Sundays 5. Continue Sunday BBQs with family and friends 6. Focus on building long-term relationships with close friends 7. Volunteer twice this year for the less fortunate, with the kids so they can learn from it 8.

Break Your Resolution! Only 79 Cents!
We all know how hard it is to get in shape and stay in shape. That's why so many of our friends, family and neighbors are obese. There are temptations everywhere to do the wrong thing! Imagine a recovering meth addict that is trying hard not to relapse. Would it be a good idea for them to be around people that are doing drugs? Selling drugs? Obviously not. That's the wrong environment and it will most likely cause them to relapse quickly. For a person that deals with health and/or weight issues, you can see what the environment is for them in our society on a daily basis… fast food restaurants on every corner, candy in every gas station and supermarket checkout line, donuts in every break room, candy and pop machines in every building, and MUCH more. And it's all super cheap and super fast. For example, I took a picture of this sign that was hanging up at a Chevron today:
Break Your Resolution! No wonder it is so tough! That's why what we are all doing as members of BodySpace is so important. We are helping each other to avoid temptation so we will live better, longer, and healthier lives with our families.
Easily Out Of Breath? My Deviated Septum Surgery Adventure.
Over the last few years, I've been frustrated. No matter how much I worked out, it seemed like I was always getting out of breath before everybody else. I'm on a few city rec sports leagues, and I'd always be the first one to have to take a break during basketball games. I'd listen to other guys complain about being tired and out of breath too, but not at the same level as me... and some of them never worked out. When working out with weights, I'd almost feel like throwing up after each hard set. I'd get a little dizzy. I still pushed through, but it was tough. So I finally researched it online and found others talking about the same breathing problems, and found articles about deviated septums. I then remembered the time I was at a golf driving range with a friend a few years ago. I was standing about 10 feet from him, and he said "watch this!", you know, like people say right before doing something really stupid. I turned and looked at him, and he swung as hard as he could. The ball went directly sideways at 100 mph and hit me square in the nose. My nose bled like it was a hose that was turned on full blast. Argh! It was sore for awhile after that, but it seemed like it healed perfectly. I never saw a doctor about it. So what's a deviated septum? Well, I think this picture pretty much explains it. The septum is the middle, hard part of the nose, and when it leans to one side, and it can make it harder to breathe out of BOTH sides:
Deviated Septum I went to talk to an Ear/Nose/Throat doctor and he confirmed that I had a deviated septum. What a relief! I wasn't going crazy. I booked my surgery that day. I won't lie. The surgery SUCKED. Well, the surgery process itself was painless (they knocked me out and then pumped me full of pain meds... mmm...), but the week afterwards was not fun. I had these big tubes up my nose, going all the way down my throat for draining. I couldn't smell anything, couldn't easily eat or drink, couldn't really move around and definitely couldn't exercise, and couldn't breathe very well. Sleeping was almost impossible. I didn't really have a lot of pain in my nose, but those big freakin' tubes in my nose really made life MISERABLE. I had to keep them in for over a week... the longest week of my life.
Post-Surgery Once they removed the tubes, I felt like a new man. Wow! I could breathe! Now I am breathing much better and enjoying my workouts again. I'm not exactly an endurance athlete, but I can play basketball without feeling like I am about to die. I'm hitting new lifting records and I overall just FEEL better. So if you feel the same, do some research and see if you might have the same problem.

Once again, Suunto is proud to be a partner of the event. Each athlete will be equipped with the Ambit2, which is ideally suited to cope with the tough demands of the race.
"It's not just a physical challenge," says Hannes Arch, Red Bull X-Alps mastermind. "It's about the body and the mind. The athletes have to perform for 18 hours a day and sustain that for more than 10 days. It's a real adventure!"
By foot or by paraglider, athletes must pass 10 turnpoints and cross five countries on their grueling way to the finish line. The race requires expert paragliding skill as well as a very high level of endurance fitness – it's not uncommon for athletes to hike up to 100km in a day. In 2011, Toma Coconea covered an incredible 981km on foot.
Among the athletes are some of the world's leading adventurers. They include Everest summiteers and record-breaking paraglider pilots.
Packed in a glass fiber reinforced casing with a battery life of up to 50 hours in GPS mode, the Ambit2 is the perfect partner for these intrepid adventurers. It gives accurate pace, speed, distance and altitude and features a 3D compass — all essential aids for the Red Bull X-Alps, both during training and the race, whether on the ground or in the air.
It's also built to survive the harshest conditions, which the athletes will certainly encounter on their way to Monaco. Suunto wishes all the athletes the best of luck as they begin this epic adventure.
You can also follow the athletes as they race across the Alps with Live Tracking on www.redbullxalps.com!

SB336 Approved by Alabama Senate Education Committee
by Nick Matzke
Senate Bill 336, the counterpart of Alabama House Bill 391, passed the Senate Education Committee on Wednesday, March 10 by a vote of 7-0.
HB 391 Approved by Alabama House Education Committee
House Bill 391, one of two antievolution bills in the Alabama legislature, was passed by the House Education Committee by a vote of 10-2 (with one abstention) on March 3.
Science Standards Pass Minnesota House Committee
On March 4, the proposed Minnesota science standards were approved by the House Education Policy Committee when it voted 18-12 to pass House file 2558. Most of the debate over HF 2558 centered on the contentious social science standards; according to the Saint Paul Pioneer-Press, the science standards "generated little discussion during the two-hour debate. The bill still has several committee stops before it reaches the House floor. The Senate Education Committee has not yet taken any votes on the science or social studies standards."

Note: CBA Meetings Are Breaking For Lunch But Will Reconvene at 1PM
11:55AM: Larry Brooks tweets "Told that wide cross-section of players had significant input into PA proposal."
Nick Cotsonika tweets "Whatever the NHL feels about it, league has to recognize that the players feel this was a big concession. Be smart with response."
11:35AM: Donald Fehr says that the proposal the NHLPA has put forth to the NHL is the best that they can do and that the two sides will reconvene at 1PM
Chris Johnston tweets:
- Donald Fehr says sides are $182 million apart over the five-year deal.
- The NHLPA expects a response from the NHL on the new proposal this afternoon.
According to Tim Panaccio the two sides are now only $182 million apart and that is down from when the two sides were almost apart by $1 billion.
Panaccio notes that it is a five-year proposal that is percentage based and not based on a guarantee
Chris Botta notes "NHL reaction to proposal will be a pivotal moment. If NHL dismisses it, previous ugliness will pale in comparison to what's ahead."
Michael Grange tweets Don Fehr saying "our expectation is the nhl is going to be willing to meet us if they want an agreement."

In recent news BlackBerry development firm Viigo has been acquired by BlackBerry maker Research In Motion. Viigo, whose self titled app is one of the most popular for BlackBerry Unlocked Phones, made the announcement Friday. Once solely a RSS reader Viigo made a big splash back in 2008 when they started introducing new features such as the ability to track sports scores, weather, movie times, stock performance, flight information and podcasts. Viigo has historically developed solely for Windows Mobile but it is unclear whether or not this will continue after the news of this announcement.
This acquisition was a logical move for Research In Motion as Viigo is the most popular app for the BlackBerry Unlocked phones. It makes sense for them to want to purchase this company and utilize their WindowsMobile application development expertise. By bringing Viigo on board it will allow for BlackBerry to build apps that are tailored for their specific user base. Viigo will be able to develop specific applications for the BlackBerry devices that will continue to be very appealing for the BlackBerry consumer.
Also, by purchasing application developer Viigo BlackBerry will gain more control on what types of apps are released for their mobile devices. Having the ability to create these apps in house will allow BlackBerry to build a suite of apps that their consumers are sure to enjoy and will bring rave reviews for the many BlackBerry devices. It is well known that users love the various apps that are available on today's smartphones and being able to have one of the best application makers in house will allow BlackBerry to remain a leader in the mobile device community.

Russell Westbrook isn't making any promises about when he'll be back on the basketball court.
But the All-Star point guard does offer something of a guarantee for whenever that day might be.
Russell Westbrook isn't making any promises about when he'll be back on the basketball court.
But the All-Star point guard does offer something of a guarantee for whenever that day might be.
"I'm going to come back and be better," Westbrook said matter-of-factly Monday, with the same unshakable swagger he's always shown.
As excitement builds over Saturday's start to training camp, Westbrook is eagerly anticipating his long-awaited return from the knee injury that cut short his 2013 postseason.
Westbrook has not yet been cleared to resume full basketball activities, and neither he nor team officials are providing a timetable for when that final obstacle will be overcome.
"We expect him to take part in parts of camp and work his way through different parts until he's ultimately cleared for unrestricted activity," Thunder general manager Sam Presti said. "But it's all going to be contingent upon how his body reacts to the additional load that he'll be carrying."
Westbrook spent much of his summer months preparing his body for a comeback. He remained in Oklahoma City for long stretches, at the team's training facility with a singular focus — strengthening his leg. When he traveled he journeyed with training partners or made appointments with physical therapists.
"I tried taking it one day at a time and not (worry about) the timetable," Westbrook said. "Just take it one day at a time and try to find a way to strengthen myself and make sure I'm ready to go when it's time."
For now, Westbrook sounds confident about all the questions he'll undoubtedly face in his return.
When asked about regaining his rhythm after such a long layoff (he was injured April 24), Westbrook said bouncing back from this setback is no different from any other.
"That's just part of rehab," Westbrook said. "You have an injury. Whenever you twist your ankle or anything minor you still need to find a way to keep your rhythm and gain your rhythm back."
When asked about his confidence, specifically whether his belief in his abilities will need to be restored, Westbrook didn't hesitate.
"I'll always have confidence," he said. "I never lose confidence in myself or my ability to do whatever. The organization has been doing a great job of helping me through the rehab process so I'm confident and I'll be confident enough in my leg to do whatever I need to do."

Submission Valve beats Google, Apple for profits per employee->
AndrewGOO9 writes: It should come with little surprise that Gabe Newell is well on his way to being one of the wealthiest men in gaming. In an age when console gamers would have many believe that the PC was on it's way out the door, Newell and Valve's Steam stand as sentinels of the platform, offering a ridiculous amount of content to the 30 million users. With the lion's share of the downloadable market on the PC, it's no wonder that Steam has become the go-to for many and an incredible financial opportunity for Newell and Valve.

What started as a modest fundraising effort by three Lemont High School students – juniors Hope Conway, Olivia Matthews and Jenna Molaro – ultimately resulted in hundreds of Lemont students actively engaged in a humanitarian effort and tens of thousands of meals being shipped to a country across the world devastated by an earthquake. Their yearlong "Food Fight" fundraiser culminated with more than 65,000 meals being sent to Nepal through the non-profit organization Impact Lives.

According to Japanese daily Nikkan Gendai, Konami will allegedly pay the gymnast a "gold medal bonus" if he takes gold at the London Olympics. The bonus was reported to be nearly ¥10 million ($US125,000). Uchimura would be the first Konami employee to win an Olympic medal.
Bonuses are common in the Japanese corporate world, but medal bonuses are also common in the Olympics. So what's the big deal?
Whatever it is, Konami stated in a recent release that the Nikkan Gendai story isn't true. If Uchimura does win gold, look for Konami to reward him with more than a bonus. Gymnastics video games, anyone?

Watertown will begin the home portion of its schedule against the Danville Dashers at 7:35 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 8 at the Watertown Municipal Arena.
