Album Rating: 3.5Album is actually excellent, thought I'd dislike it after time but no. Shame their other stuff is nowhere near this standard.
Album Rating: 1.0worst band ever
I'd give this album a 3.5! Attack, The Kill, The Hunter, Battle of One, and A Modern Myth are the only stand out songs and they REALLY stand out. The rest are good but just don't aren't as memorable. Probably because they don't have as much energy or emotion as the highlights do.
Album Rating: 3.5the story, the fantasy or the title track don't have enough EMOTION?! If anything they're too emotional.
Album Rating: 3.5I remember this being at least decent.
You rated "A Modern Myth" higher than "From Yesterday", and you recommend "From Yesterday", and no "A Modern Myth".
Anyway, excellent record, really underrated.
Album Rating: 3.0"underrated"
not really.. this album made them a big band.
Album Rating: 3.5The Fantasy and Battle Of One are still fuckin sweet
And yea if anything their debut is underrated considering how overlooked it was. This made them huge.
Album Rating: 3.5This does nothing for me anymore. Don't mind the rating, it's from a long time ago.
Album Rating: 3.5Yea decided to jam this again yesterday. Jammed a lot of stuff yesterday I haven't in a while. I love this record a lot. I think I'm one of the only people who thinks his screams are well done haha
Album Rating: 3.0Is ok, has songs that are catchy and good ( a beautiful lie, attack, the kill). Never liked some tracks ( from yesterday and more)
Album Rating: 3.5The thing I loved most about this was the style of the guitarist. It was better than his mainstream contemporaries which is all I used to listen to. Now I have found much better, it just doesn't do much for me anymore.
Album Rating: 3.5The guitar was Leto I believe. Granted is stuff that is loads better out there obviously but this
record is still genuinely awesome post hardcore stuff. This band got me through some tough times a
couple years ago so I have a sweet spot for them. Their earlier stuff at least.
Album Rating: 3.5No it was thatTomo Milisevic guy or something like that. I am pretty sure.
Album Rating: 3.5They both did it then cause I know for a fact Leto played some of the guitar on it. Tomo does play it live I believe.

@Angela M. Do you suspect Santorum because you subscribe, as I do, to Freudian theory, i.e. "projection"? Freud said people get paranoid and throw away their unwanted traits, hoping they will land on others so that no one suspects the person "projecting" the traits. Would you have thought Larry Craig a homosexual before the Minneapolis restroom scandal? Yet, when caught red handed his only defense was, "I am not a homosexual." Nietzsche was right: the worth of a spirit is its capacity to endure the truth. Jack Nicholson said it in the movie, too: "The truth? You can't handle the truth."
There's a license for stuff like that?! Where can we get one?! <big evil grin>
Santorum is a scary, scary man. I predict a sex scandal in his future...he totally fits the profile for one.
Dan needs to talk about Cee Lo changing "Imagine" on new year's eve. I listen to the podcasts at bedtime. I always fall asleep before it's over, so it takes me a while to listen to the whole thing. I like when Annie Laurie says "agitate". Lots of youtube videos on these two, and they always stay calm and win the debate; if they aren't cut off.
I thought his last name was derived from a place where they lock up crazy people: InSanitorium.
Chris, you cannot be saying that pRick went loony because of Mr. Savage's website? Somebody would have sued by now. Oh, no, wait, politicians are open season in all aspects of their lives, and you can say anything you wish about one of them and they have no redress for slander. None. So, I don't think Savage went quite far enough. I think he should have savaged him worse than Larry Flynt that fat little evangelical bullshit artist on TV.
@ Steph S. What do you expect? His last name is the term used for a bodily fluid milkshake. If my last name was "Santorum", I'd be a little crazy too.

SAN ANTONIO (April 15, 2014) Petra Aguirre, 83, of San Antonio, has died almost two weeks after a neighbor's dog mauled her while she was feeding her cats in the backyard of her home.
Aguirre died Friday from dog bite complications, the Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office said.
She was attacked March 31.
The American Staffordshire terrier mix was able to get past Aguirre's fence, Animal Care Services spokeswoman Lisa Norwood said.
The woman was bitten in the head, neck, arms and legs.
The dog was surrendered to Animal Care Services and was euthanized.
The dog's owner was cited.
That dog and two others were involved in an attack in May in which a 13-year-old boy was bitten.
Chris Aguirre told the San Antonio Express-News that his mother, a devout Catholic, taught religious education at St. Gabriel's parish for many years.

The cream of southeast Wisconsin's student crop attend 100 Black Men's honors invitational in ChicagoOctober 27, 2011 // 0 Comments
by Taki S. Raton
For the third consecutive year, the top Milwaukee African American students attended the Fifth Annual Honors Student Reception (HSR) sponsored by the 100 Black Men Chicago Chapter.
And for the second year in a row, the HSR invitations were extended to Beloit, Madison, and Kenosha school districts for their high ranking pupils to participate.
The invitational HSR is held yearly on the second Friday in October in conjunction with their public Annual College Scholarship Fair held the next day.
This year's HSR was held at the UIC Forum on the campus of the University Of Illinois Chicago Circle. The event is specifically designed for students who have a minimum grade point average of 3.3 on a 4.0 scale and a 23 or higher score on the ACT exam. Only the first 200 registered are allowed to attend.
With the support and initiative of the Milwaukee Chapter of 100 Black Men's 12 seniors who met the qualifications were among Chicago area African American students that met with college and university representatives from around the country, many of whom were from Ivy League schools.
The purpose of this interaction is to inspire opportunities to attract both college admission and scholarship prospects.
The college and university representatives are very much aware they were speaking to top-of-the-line high achieving African American students.
A sampling of the 45 colleges and universities that attended the reception include Morehouse College, Notre Dame University, Carleton College, Dartmouth College, Illinois Institute of Technology, University of Minnesota, Wellesley College, Spelman College, University of Pennsylvania, Hampton University, US Air Force Academy, Vanderbilt University, American University, Chicago State College, Hampton University, US Army ROTC/West Point, Princeton University, University of Michigan, and Howard University.
In attendance this year from Milwaukee and the invited districts were Nikki Grant, Naomi Grant, and Aris Battiste from Riverside University High School, Gabrielle Winbush and Ebony Carson from Messmer, and Olanrewaju Awosika and Asia Burgos from Divine Savior Holy Angles High School.
Bria Stephens and Pierre S. Charles where selected from Beloit Memorial High School. Marshaun Hall and Oon-Ife Olaiya were listed from Madison West High School and Madison LaFollette High School was represented by Dominic Stenson.
"This has honestly been a great opportunity for me," said Nikki Grant. "I have attended college fairs prior to this event," she adds. "But none like the Honors Student Reception tonight. Although I entered the evening a little intimidated and apprehensive, I was completely comfortable after conversing with an admission counselor or two. I do not regret taking advantage of this invitation and I am certainly grateful for this experience."
Stenson recalls that that the HSR was "a fantastic opportunity to expand my knowledge of this country's great colleges." Bria Stephens echoes similar sentiments in her comments that "it was a great learning experience and now I am interested in applying to other colleges. I know now in particular what I have to do to get into Howard."
"I would advise every senior to strive for the privilege to attend the HSR," says Hall. "I thoroughly appreciated the opportunity to speak with these college representatives. Each school rep was able to offer information not found on a website. Not only was I given valuable information concerning scholarships, admission and important deadlines, I was also able to familiarize myself with the type of people and atmosphere each school offered. All in all, I believe this was a very valuable experience."
"I enjoyed this evening. It was a great opportunity for our young people searching for the right college," said Shirley Brickson, Bria's grandmother from Beloit who joined her mother Patricia Grady. Grady and Brickson who were among six parents and relatives who accompanied students as chaperons.
Tracy A. Carson, mother of Ebony thanked the organizers for the opportunity and experience of meeting with top college and university recruiters. "My daughter was able to meet with administrators and staff from some of the country's top colleges and universities and acquire much needed information to help in her college search."
Added Carson, "We enjoyed every aspect of the event to include the meet-and-greet at Milwaukee's African American Women's Center and the evening's special college fair in Chicago. Every part from the beginning was very well organized and I might add that the food in Chicago was just simply delicious. All I can say is that 100 Black Men did their thing and I know that we are off to a great start for college."
"I asked God that every facet of this trip would be enriching and needless to say it was," noted Gabrielle's mother Erma J. Winbush. "The warmth of the get-acquainted session at the African American Women's Center was super. The dedication to the mission was evident as Milwaukee's 100 Black Men's president, Dr. Kenneth Harris shared encouraging words to the students who were present."
Winbush praised the "grand style" of the transportation to and from the UIC Forum, as well as having the opportunity to speak one-on-one with college representatives from around the country, acquiring very useful information on admission requirements, scholarship opportunities and financial aid."
Also joining their twin daughters Naomi and Nikki from Riverside were parents Steven and Susan Grant Bacon.
"Well, this event was not quite what I expected," recalls Naomi. "It was indeed greater and exceeded all of my expectations." Naomi said she and her portfolio were well received. "I feel especially honored to have been invited to this most informative evening knowing that my strides for success are being recognized.
"I cannot express enough thanks and gratitude to the Milwaukee and Chicago chapters of 100 Black Men of America for presenting this opportunity for me and those of my peers who met the criteria," Naomi continued. "On behalf all of the students present, I thank you for providing such a tremendous service to our Black youth."
As noted earlier before the students and parents boarded the bus provided by Providence Baptist Church, they were guests at a send-off reception at the Wisconsin African American Women's Center (WAAWC), 3020 West Vliet Street. Milwaukee 100 Black Men chapter president Harris, area founder and OGM of MUSA, LLC Tony Muhammad and WAAWC co-founder Josephine Hill were on hand to give congratulatory remarks to the seniors.
A special thanks is extended to Dr. Earl Wheatfall and the 100 Black Men Milwaukee Chapter for continuing event co-sponsorship and support, and to Hill and the WAAWC for the send-off venue. Appreciation and thanks is also given to Charles E. Fowlkes of CEF Holding for providing food and refreshments at the meet-and-greet.
A note of special appreciation to bus driver Providence's John Barbee who for the last three years—including this year—footed a truly magnificent, smooth, comfortable and schedule specific journey to and from our destination given rush hour traffic concerns.
Thanks is further given to school counselors Keith Steward in Madison, Ruth Herrie at Divine Savior Holy Angels, Erin Wolf at Beloit Memorial High School, Phil Stollenwert at Messmer, and Riverside University High School teacher Billie J. Saffold for their invaluable assistance in identifying the high ranking eligible students in their building.
In this regard, we also extend recognition to Milwaukee High School of the Arts' principal Barry Applewhite whose office was instrumental in identifying MHSA's student Shakia Rayford for this year's HSR. Unfortunately, Shaklia could not attend the event.
The combined co-sponsorship between the Chicago and Milwaukee 100 Black Men chapters have provided the opportunity over the past three years to identify a grand total of 75 Wisconsin students who successfully met the 3.3 GPA and 23 minimum ACT cum score for selection to this annual invitational.
Out of the 75 state students, 49 students from Milwaukee, Kenosha, Beloit, and Madison have actually attended the HSR through this Milwaukee-Chicago partnership initiative from 2009 through 2011.
Both the Milwaukee and Chicago chapters of the 100 look forward to next year where it can be assured that this year's 75 Wisconsin qualified student count will top over 100 in 2012 and significant numbers added to the actual attendance listing.
It is envisioned that we continue to provide this unique experience to our African American seniors as genially expressed by Messmer High School's Ebony Carson, "I felt this opened a huge opportunity for me to get into a top college. This also encourages me to be an inspiration to generations after me."
"Coming to this event was extremely eye opening," said Madison West's Oona-Ife. "I found new schools to apply to including Howard, Notre Dame and a few others.
"I really appreciated how enthusiastic the colleges were about their schools and also how encouraging they were about having us apply to their campuses. They were knowledgeable and kind. I took a lot away from this experience."

When the American Cancer Society contacted hairstylist Pat Hubbard about volunteering, she used her style skills to help women fighting cancer.
The Hanover cosmetologist helps with the Look Good, Feel Better program, which teaches skin care and beauty techniques to women in York and around the country who are undergoing cancer treatments.
This is Hubbard's 11th year volunteering with the program, which is 25 years old. She helps patients at WellSpan Adams Cancer Center in Gettysburg.
"Every person that I met in the last 10 years has been so unique," Hubbard said.
In particular, one woman's story has stayed with her: The mother wanted to develop a cosmetic routine to disguise the effects of her cancer treatment so her kids wouldn't be afraid, Hubbard said.
"There's a lot of joy for me in this," she said.
The program: Although the premise seems simple, every women is different, and her skin and hair react differently to treatment, Hubbard said. Patients learn 12 steps that help familiarize themselves with their skin again, and those who have lost their hair can restore it by using a "wig bank," which allows them to borrow wigs, she said.
Patients will also walk away with a free cosmetic kit with makeup in their personal skin tone, Hubbard said.
"They have everything they need from the neck up," she said.
Sometimes, women will hesitate when thinking about attending events like this - they're tired and have so much going on - but those who go embrace the extra support, Hubbard said.
"It's really hard for them," she said. "They've just encountered the worst thing of their life, and what they're doing is being very brave."
Next event: WellSpan Health will host monthly Look Good, Feel Better events through the end of the year at the Apple Hill Medical Center.
All women in active cancer treatment are eligible for the free programs, which are held on Mondays from 6 to 8 p.m.
The next session will be on Monday, May 19, at the center, 25 Monument Road in York Township.
Registration is required. Those interested can register by calling 1-800-227-2345.

Fighting to Win
Nov 12, 2001, Vol. 7, No. 09 • By ROBERT KAGAN and WILLIAM KRISTOL
There's another reason we're glad to see the president is willing to change course in fighting this war. Tactical and strategic flexibility is an enormously important virtue in a war leader. In this as in all wars, if one strategy isn't working, you've got to recognize it quickly and try another. There is no dishonor in changing strategies. The United States brought itself to failure in Vietnam in part because of a rigidity that made it difficult to adapt to new and unexpected realities on the ground. President Bush's willingness to shift course suggests he may well be a successful commander in chief.
It would help the president in his mission if administration and military officials stopped pretending all the time that "everything is going according to plan." Everything never goes according to plan, and pretending that it does can only create a credibility gap. The Bush administration needn't worry about looking omniscient. The American people know this is a tough war, and a complex one. They expect some course changes along the way. Explaining what we're doing now, why changes are needed, and how they contribute to our war aims will suffice.
It's likely the president will have to show continued flexibility in the coming weeks and months, because there's no guarantee that the current intensified bombing will do the job. Perhaps bombing the Taliban's front lines will open the path for the Northern Alliance to march through to Kabul. And perhaps the Northern Alliance has the wherewithal to exploit the opportunity. But it is also possible that the heavier bombing of the Taliban forces won't be enough.
That means the president must be prepared to move to the next step: not just sending in advisers and commando units, but deploying ground troops in Afghanistan. This may be a limited deployment at first, to create a base of operations for further attacks. But we suspect a major deployment of American ground troops will be needed to finally oust the Taliban, capture Osama and his gang, and make Afghanistan a terrorist-free zone.
A decision to deploy a substantial number of American ground troops would not be an easy one. No one is under any illusion that it will be without cost. But time is of the essence. This has nothing to do with the patience of the American people, which we trust will never flag in this fight. But given the dynamics in the Muslim world, there is a huge benefit to winning quickly, or at least to being visibly on course to an overwhelming victory in Afghanistan in the near future. Then we can move on to winning the overall war on terrorism, a war in which anything short of full victory is unthinkable.

The federal minimum wage rose 70 cents today, to $5.85 an hour -- the first step in a two-year march to $7.25 an hour. Government figures cited by the Associated Press indicate that just 1.7 million people -- out of a total non-farm labor force of some 136 million workers -- earned the minimum wage or less in 2006; still the increase was a big political victory for the Democrats, one that came at the expense of lobbyists from the National Federation of Independent Businesses and the Chamber of Commerce, among others. To appreciate how big a victory, consider that the last time the federal minimum wage and last minimum wage increase occurred in 1997.
Naturally, the Democrats are celebrating. But what of the Republicans? It turns out Mitt Romney, campaigning for governor of Massachusetts in 2002, supported increasing the minimum wage. Not just increasing it, either -- but actually indexing it to inflation. Of course, things change, and in 2006, when the state legislature made good on his pledge, Romney, who has of late extensively revised the positions he took in the Bay State, vetoed the bill. A Romney aide explained that legislators were being too generous.
So where does Romney stand now? On Sunday, he told ABC news, "You know I haven't looked at the federal minimum wage process. I'll look at that. I don't have a —- I haven't taken a position on that at this stage." He may have to develop one: Ted Kennedy told NPR this morning he plans to offer legislation to make the minimum wage a "living wage" -- which would come out to some $9.50 an hour.

Cook named runner-up in Time's 'Person of the Year'
updated 07:26 pm EST, Wed December 19, 2012
Apple CEO inherited challenging job, long shadow
On Wednesday, Time Magazine named US President Barack Obama as its "Person of the Year," but had also considered the contribution made by Apple and its CEO Tim Cook, ultimately placing him third on the list, along with Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, scientist Fabioloa Gianotti, and Pakistani student Malala Yousafzai. The magazine also profiled Cook, reiterating many of the highlights and quotes Cook had given in previous interviews, including his prime-time chat with Rock Center host Brian Williams earlier this month.
Cook was likely considered for the honor because of the enormous challenge that he took on when he became Apple CEO in August of last year. Though he had already served as interim CEO during Steve Jobs' occasional health-related leaves of absence -- and was already well-regarded as a top operations manager -- Cook was taking over and becoming truly responsible for the most valuable publicly-traded company on the planet. It would be his job now to deal with shareholder pressures, pundit manipulations and public expectations for a company that is not just popula -- it has weaved itself into the very fabric of modern living, exerting an influence so deep that it even affects those consumers who do not buy its products.
Under tremendous pressure to keep Apple innovating, productive, profitable and ahead of its rivals, in his first year he has largely succeeded on those goals. Though the only completely new product to emerge on his watch so far is the iPad mini, other new products appear to be in the pipeline (including the alleged Apple-developed HDTV). To the surprise of many, the iPad mini looks to become Apple's next biggest-seller behind the iPhone. Cook has also overseen a number of technological innovations that rely as heavily on suppliers and manufacture as they do on design, and has led an executive shakeup that many Apple watchers think will reinvigorate the company over time.
Though the company has seen recent manipulations and other events drag down its stock price, Apple is still the most profitable company -- by far -- in the electronics sector, the single most popular brand of tablet, smartphone, music device and portable computer, and has seen substantial increases in Mac ownership. Though not every venture has been entirely successful -- many would point to Apple's Maps project as a product that under-performed on its debut, though it has been steadily improving -- the company is still seen as taking risks and experimenting with other ideas for both services and products.
Under Cook's first year, AAPL rose almost 40 percent (from a year ago at $382.11 to today's close of $526.31 -- even though the current figure is down significantly from its $700 high point -- and no serious analyst believes Apple will have anything less than another record quarter for its fiscal Q1 2013, which ends with the calendar year. The company has grown from averaging $25 billion per quarter in 2011 to nearly $37 billion per quarter (average) in 2012, with an expectation that the company will average $50 billion in quarterly revenue across 2013. The company has at least quadrupled in size and earnings across the last five years, under challenging worldwide economic conditions.
While the other candidates on the list have all contributed something that has shaped the world in perhaps more direct ways, Cook's team at Apple have been more quietly shaping the way most people in the developed world live their lives. Innovations such as iMessage, Thunderbolt, AirPlay and all-day battery life -- all three pioneered through Apple along with other partners -- have had a fundamental impact on business, industry and consumer life and work. As Doctor Who music director and playwright Murray Gold recently told an interviewer, "this technology allows me to work anywhere and do anything I need to do. It's a tremendous gift of freedom."

© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON -- A 27-year-old Newton County Detention Officer is in jail today following allegations late Monday afternoon of sexual misconduct with a female inmate, according to the Newton County Sheriff's Office.
David Rex Bell, an employee of the Newton County Detention Center since 2006, faces charges of sexual assault, violation of oath of office and sodomy; aggravated sodomy.
Criminal Investigations Division Capt. Keith Crum said upon hearing the allegations around 4:30 p.m. Monday two simultaneous investigations were launched -- criminal and internal.
"Within four hours he was being booked," Crum said, adding that it was NCSO policy for him to be suspended with pay while the investigation is going on.
Bell is being detained in another facility for security reasons.
"Warrants will be taken today. Once that takes place, the captain over at the jail will make a decision on what action to take," Crum said, adding that Bell had already been relieved of "sensitive equipment" entrusted to him as a jailer such as passes, a taser and handcuffs.
Crum said the allegations came to light when a female inmate made an outcry concerning the assault. He said she came forward within 24 hours of the alleged assault.
"She said she'd been sexually propositioned by a detention officer and physical contact had been made," he said. "She and a witness and Bell were interviewed by criminal investigators."
Probable cause to make an arrest was determined and Bell was arrested and charged by 8:30 p.m.
Crum said the female inmate and a second female inmate who was a witness to the event were in the medical unit when the assault occurred.
"There is a female nurse on duty there, but she was in another area out of sight when the incident occurred," he said.
"We take this very seriously. The sheriff and the chief deputy are not going to tolerate this kind of activity," Crum said. "When an investigation indicates that this type of crime has been committed, we will make an arrest and make it quickly."

Nawwww, this didn't happen at Newton County?! Not the highest and mightiest, most ethical arm of the law in the county?! Is this the same agency that locked up the new, elderly homeowners trying to "break into" their new home, and then let them go only to return and lock up the good Samaritans that called them in the first place, and then let THEM go?? Wow, Sheriff, embarrassment much?
John 2 years, 6 months ago
Kornbred, It is way to early to make any comment realtive to the detention officer being guilty or innocent. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that someone will tell a "story" just to get someone in trouble for no reason at all or for retaliation - this goes on in our school system all the time. This is why we have a thing called "due process of law" or maybe you missed that in school.
Blessed2_ 2 years, 6 months ago
Kornbred, a young man has made bad choices which will more than likely ruin his career and reputation. To make this a political issue is very sad.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Michael Jackson's doctor has defended his use
of the surgical anesthetic propofol to put the entertainer to sleep.
Dr. Conrad Murray also said in a TV interview that he did not tell paramedics he had administered the drug because the amount he
gave Jackson was inconsequential.
Murray, who was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter on Monday, gave the interview to NBC's "Today" show days before his conviction.
Murray said he did not feel a need to monitor Jackson constantly
and acknowledged being on the phone outside the singer's bedroom
where he could not see him.
In retrospect he said he probably should have walked away when
Jackson asked for propofol, but he said he would have been
abandoning a friend.
NBC released excerpts of the interview set for broadcast Thursday and Friday.

The City of Northport selected ADG to complete a Public Works Master Site Plan and Design Criteria Package for a new Public Works and Fleet Maintenance facility. The site is the current 15 acre Public Works facility on W. Price Boulevard. ADG created a Joint Facility Master Site Plan to resolve the immediate and long-term needs of the Public Works Department as a phased implementation strategy. The first phase will be the Design-Build delivery of the Fleet Maintenance facility. The following task requirements were assigned for the project: Public Services Joint Facility Master Site Plan, Design-Build Criteria Documents, Assist with Design-Build Team Selection Process, Construction Phase Services, Site Design and Permitting of the Fleet Maintenance Facility.
The City of New Port Richey Public Works Complex accommodates Administration, Engineering, Storm-water Utility, and Street/R.O.W. Operations. A Purchasing Warehouse and FLEET Maintenance facility are also incorporated into the Complex. Planning of the facilities concluded that a two-phase approach to accommodating the needs provides the City several benefits. Phase One will create a new Operations Center on a 13 acre site located ¼ mile from the existing facility. Phase Two will renovate and expand vacated space at the current facility.
The Phase One Operations Complex is located on a ecologically sensitive site with a wetlands conservation area. The site was carefully analyzed to minimize wetland impacts and the need for wetland mitigation. The entrance drive follows a ridge between wetland areas. The Operations Complex is located on the uplands portion of the site. The Complex is designed as a "compound" with the long bar of the Operations Building oriented north/south securing the operations yard. Covered storage buildings for equipment flank the yard on the east and south edges. The buildings are designed with "sustainable building" techniques including optimal solar orientation, day lighting high efficiency HVAC and use of recycled materials.
This Public Works Complex for the City of Tampa, Florida is located on 11 acres of land. The project consolidates activities from several satellite locations, including: Administration, Maintenance, Operations and Warehouse/Storage. The complex is a staging area for activities required by the northern half of the City.
ADG successfully resolved the major challenge of integrating the complex within an ecologically sensitive, site, left undeveloped in an industrial zone with numerous mature oak trees. ADG conducted a series of planning charrettes with facility users and prepared a careful site analysis. Zones of activity were created based on the potential impact on the ecology and the broader land use context. The complex includes parking for 150 employees and storage for over 200 public works operations vehicles, maintenance equipment, materials and storage areas; all interspersed within "ecological zones" of the site. Upon completion of the project, ADG was recognized by the Tampa Chapter and Florida Chapter of the American Public Works Association (APWA) as "Architect" and "Project of the Year".
ADG was selected to provide site master planning and architectural design services for St. John's County Facility Maintenance Department Building located on a 20 acre site. The project was initiated by a series of meetings with the facility user and the County's Construction Services Department for the purpose of determining the facility program (spatial needs) and maximizing construction scope within the limited budget. It was determined that the project would provide administrative space for both the Maintenance Department and Construction Services. The building provides all facility services with "shell space" for the maintenance shops that will be built-out by the Maintenance Department. The site that the County acquired for the project was constrained by access, utilities, and wetlands issues. ADG created a Master Plan for the site that allowed the County to create a single point of secure access, and water/sewer/electrical connection and was master storm water drainage approach sized for utilization of a future facility. The 20 acre site was split into two 10 acre parcels that allowed a simplified approach to wetland jurisdictional issues and storm water management permitting. The construction systems for the building are comprised of "tilt-wall" concrete panels, steel roof framing and roof/window systems that exceed the Coastal Impact Zone requirements of the Florida Building Code. The project was completed ahead of schedule within the limited construction funds allocated.
ADG was selected by the Orange County Board of Commissioners to provide comprehensive planning and design services necessary to satisfy the facilities needs. The new facility construction program provides administrative office space for operations and environmental groups. A 12 bay "state-of-the-art" maintenance facility was built to effectively service the equipment used in the land-filling operations which includes: front end loaders, transfer trailer, and a steel-wheeled earth moving vehicle. Space for employees muster, break and training was also provided. Site development accommodated parking for 175 vehicles.
ADG provided programming, master planning, and design services for the Hernando County Multi-Use Complex.The complex contains the Public Works Administration, Engineering, Road Maintenance, Fleet Maintenance, Traffic, and Mosquito Control Departments.
The public works complex building is arranged for employee and public parking accessibility from SR 50. County vehicle Fueling Facilities are included to meet the needs of the county vehicles. Multi-Use layout allows for future expansion on both east and west ends of the complex. The project delivery method, construction manager (CM) at risk, was selected to promote value engineering and cost savings.
ADG designed this $1.5 million facility located at Orange County's 33rd Street Complex in Central Florida. The facility provides centralized energy management for this $87 million mixed use complex. This facility also provides emergency electrical power, and hot and cold water for mechanical systems. Its energy management systems were designed to serve current and future components of the complex as well as the fire alarm and life safety systems.
ADG utilized OSHA-ANSI approved color systems to create a functional working facility for maintenance support and to provide an enjoyable, colorful, and most importantly, a safe working environment. The structure reflects ADG's use of advanced technology and systems. This central energy building location relates to its central and basic function which is to provide service for a major detention center.
The building was constructed of concrete, steel and scored CMU's and utilized steel decking, steel bar joints and load bearing CMU's. This structure was awarded an Honor Award for Design Excellence by the Mid-Florida Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
The complexity of utility distribution and monitoring is extensive and incorporates state-of-art systems capable of being modified to accommodate technological advances. A critical component is the necessity to have continuation of uninterrupted utility service, particularly relative to the type of service provided at this complex.
This Public Works Facility is "state-of-the-art" in vehicle maintenance facilities, with ten drive-through bays, paired about a service corridor. The facility includes approximately 1,100 square feet of maintenance / storage functions and 3,000 square feet of administrative support spaces. The facility has been master planned to accommodate future growth as established by user demand.
The Palm Bay Public Works and Fleet Maintenance Facility is organized around a double-loaded corridor accentuated by a continuous skylight. The various functional units are located on either side of the corridor, which acts as a systems distribution center for the overhead lubrication system as well as for air, water, power, and other services. Accessed along this spline also along the Administrative Services warehouse, carpentry and sign shops, tool storage / distribution, and parts storage areas.

I like tools. Not the kind I make latte's for all week at my day job, but the kind men use. Real manly men. I find all I really need in the back country are pliers, scissors, and a small knife with a locking blade. So what's the least "gravity challenged" way to achieve all three?
Hey Rick, I was looking for pretty much the same (minus the locking blade) as you last year. I found that the tough issue on this is looking for both pliers and scissors. Typically, they don't add both to the smaller weapons of choice. I've since moved to just a razor blade but I'll be watching this thread with interest.Oh, and get ready for a million guys wondering why you need all that...why do you? ;)
Edited by Steve_Evans on 05/12/2009 07:22:29 MDT.
Yea I woould love a Letherman squirt sized multi-tool with just pliers, scissors, and a locking blade. Seems like a no brainer right? Maybe a firestick built in, that's going past the concept, but it'd be cool. I have a box cutter style razor that they sell on this site. It's the right weight but I have big gorilla hands so...
what use is a plier?
Good question, it's a personal thing, sort of. I use pliers at work very often so they're the first tool I go for in most situations where I need grip, torque, or to grab something small. On the last trip (tue and wed in SNP) I used my pliers to unsag a zipper, pound in and pull out tent stakes, fix my trekking poles and I use the wirecutters to snip some cord and modify the compression straps on my pack. I also wus 'em for a pot holder, grip anything wet (like a wet stick I'm stripping for kindling etc), fishing a string back out of the hole on drawstring pants, pulling a hook out a fish,pulling out ticks, fixing my glasses, stuff like that. Most of those tasks could be done with different tools (like a rock) but pliers feel natural in my hand so it's a luxury item.
Rick,Buck used to make a "mini" multi tool which is smaller & lighter than the Squirt. The tools are a bit light in construction, but not cheap - what I mean is don't expect heavy, and "indestructibility". And there's not locking blade.But if you use them carefully the mini will last a long time. I have bought two on ebay over the years and still have both (one in new condition, tucked away). Search for them and occasionally they will pop up.
Cool, I like Buck knifes.
I've fixed several things with themmost importantly, i've fixed my fishing reel a couple times - once the day before catching the largest golden trout of my lifethere's a pretty small, light, cheap multitool often sold in fishing stores that has pliers - about $6 or so & it's smaller/lighter than a squirt
I've used pliers many more times on a hike than I have a knife. Nice for gripping poles, fixing packs, etc.Someone always has a knife. Not many carry even a small plier.
I'm thinking about taking apart my squirt and taking the extra tool out of it. Has anyone done this?
Just realized that's a great name for a UL punk band.
I'm somewhat partial to the Buck X-Tract Fin:http://www.buckknives.com/index.cfm?event=product.detail&productID=3575
The best solution that I have come up with is to carry something like a squrt with pliers and a set of small folding sewing scissors separately.
Out of curiosity, what do you find that you need scissors for that you can't do with a blade and a cutting surface (log or whatever)?I recently got a Gerber Clutch (chose it over the Squirt because the blade size just isn't useful on the Squirt) and while I like it for what it is, I do wish someone would make a 'magic' super-tool this size and weight that has pliers that will actually handle significant force and a blade made out of something much harder (like S30V). Maybe titanium components? I would pay for it, because every time I go to use any of the tools on my Clutch, I find myself wishing I just had my Charge TTi with me instead. Just too heavy to bring along though.
The discontinued Buck 350 is what I carry. When they discontinued them I bought two extra so I will have one the rest of my life.I also carry small folding scissors. I do not have enough skill to cut my nails and/or hangnails with a knife.On a week long trip I expect to use my scissors 2 to 3 times per day, the pliers 2 to 3 times per week. I can not remember the last time I used a knife.
The leatherman freestyle looks interesting (online and in ads, never seen one in person), full size blade and pliers for 4.5 oz:http://www.leatherman.com/multi-tools/pocket-tools/freestyle-cx.aspxI don't really need pliers unless I am fishing or skiing, so usually carry my SAK treker for hiking. I like having the saw for wood for use with the bushbuddy. I do like a locking blade. For scissors, which I don't use much either, I have a pair of tiny, light, folding scissors in my full med kit when I bring that (mostly canoe trips).So going with pliers + full blade and carrying the scissors separately is another option.
"Out of curiosity, what do you find that you need scissors for that you can't do with a blade and a cutting surface (log or whatever)?" Mostly grooming and cutting circles for patches (rare but can be vital)I have big monkey hands and I find scissors foe precision cutting.
http://www.riverbum.com/Dr-Slick-Scissor-Plier-55-Black-SNHC55B/Quite lightweight and blade stays sharp. Check out your local fly fishing shop, they should have something like it.
Edited by anacrime on 05/12/2009 19:32:49 MDT.
I know this is an older thread, but technology has finally caught up with your wishes.Behold leathermans new mini tool. Scissors, 1.6" blade (not locking), pliers, file, screwdrivers. The biggest plus in my opinion is that the pliers are spring loaded. Great for one handed tasks. Weighs 1.9 oz.http://www.leatherman.com/products/product.asp?id=481&f=8&c=1If you can do without the pliers, leathermans new take on the vic classic is slightly lighter than its swiss counterpart at .81 oz.http://www.leatherman.com/products/product.asp?id=480&f=8&c=1

Sound Money Gains a Champion
Paul Ryan, good as gold.
Sep 3, 2012, Vol. 17, No. 47 • By JUDY SHELTON
Ryan is also aware that Americans increasingly sense unfairness—unequal treatment—in the way monetary policy is conducted. Sophisticated investors and privileged financial institutions seem to be the main beneficiaries of Fed largesse, borrowing at cheap rates while savers earn virtually nothing. Equity markets have become subject to the pronouncements of Bernanke, -hoping for some hint of further "quantitative easing" to goose stock prices. Meanwhile, the amount of bank holdings of Treasury obligations and government agency debt has more than doubled this year over 2011, reaching an all-time high of $1.84 trillion. If community banks are now going the way of money-center banks, gaming interest rates on Treasury instruments rather than lending to businesses, it's because the Fed has made that the more lucrative endeavor.
Our discretionary monetary policy has brought about a rupture between financial intermediaries and the actual engines of productive growth, with high finance operating on a different track than the organic economy. This is undermining growth prospects for the United States and the world; it is distorting the natural process of economic recovery by manipulating price signals. After all, the whole point of capital investment is to channel financial "seed corn" into productive economic enterprise that will yield higher future returns—meaning improved living standards. But the Fed's activist policies are guiding those resources into government instead.
Monetary policy should not play favorites. And Ryan's campaign to restore sound money is as much about reasserting the principles of equal rights and equal treatment as it is about reconnecting the value of the dollar to the real economy. "Our currency should provide a reliable store of value—it should be guided by the rule of law, not the rule of men," Ryan notified Bernanke at a hearing last year. "There is nothing more insidious that a country can do to its citizens than debase its currency."
It's an expression of faith in our nation's founding principles wholly consistent with Jefferson's own view that the integrity of our currency is a reflection of our commitment to personal freedom under limited government—and that a reliable dollar is the only money unit worthy of the American idea.
Judy Shelton, author of Fixing the Dollar Now: Why U.S. Money Lost Its Integrity and How We Can Restore It, is a senior fellow at the Atlas Economic Research Foundation.

"Pearl Harbor" has a superb reenactment of Japan's Dec. 7, 1941, bombing of a sizable portion of the U.S. Pacific fleet in Honolulu, an engaging love story and a remarkable evocation of a time when Americans virtually overnight pulled together to begin the grueling process of turning a military catastrophe into eventual triumph.
The film's immense cast and crew, headed by director Michael Bay, writer Randall Wallace and stars Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett and Kate Beckinsale, blend artistry and technology to create a blockbuster entertainment that has passion, valor and tremendous action. Its combination of authentic aircraft and ships, stunt work and special effects re-creates the bombing in all its precise ferocity and immense scale. And despite its scale, "Pearl Harbor" has a brisk pace that makes this three-hour war epic seem like half that time.
The film is sustained by a grand theme: innocence lost. It suggests that the innocence that fired the unhesitating bravery and self-sacrifice of the American people, in battle as well as the home front, carried with it an ignorance that allowed the U.S. to underestimate Japan's military power and determination.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt's admission of the mistake of "regarding the enemy as inferior" carries with it an implied acknowledgment of racist attitudes many Americans held toward the Japanese at that time. It's the same innocence that allows Affleck's Rafe to be crushed to discover that, after he is reported killed in action, his best friend Danny (Hartnett) and his fiancee, Evelyn (Beckinsale), a Navy nurse, have fallen in love.
The filmmakers' perspective of six decades recognizes that the stirring words of FDR and Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle could be spoken unself-consciously and that patriotism was a matter of unabashed pride. The passing of time also frees the filmmakers from the jingoism so characteristic of so many Hollywood World War II movies. "Pearl Harbor" leaves the impression that America paid for victory in a loss of innocence that was inevitable, an invaluable lesson that we are always in the process of learning.
"Pearl Harbor" is also self-aware and honest in its heart-tugging. It takes us back to a simpler time, when ordinary people were more sharing than competitive, a time when American society, for all its inequities and injustices, was for many people a time of less loneliness, alienation, self-absorption and cynicism. This makes "Pearl Harbor" especially moving for those of us old enough to have heard FDR proclaim Dec. 7 "a date which will live in infamy," even if we were in kindergarten at the time.
The first of the film's deft touches occurs right at the start. Young Danny and Rafe are Tennessee farm boys back in 1923 and caught up in fantasies of World War I aerial warfare. They get Danny's father's crop duster moving, if not airborne, but he (William Fichtner) is not merely terrified of what might happen to the boys or his biplane, but as a World War I vet, regards their fantasies of war with horror.
But as young men Danny and Rafe remain consumed with flying and volunteer for the U.S. Army Air Force well before Pearl Harbor. In early 1941 in New York City, the brash Rafe volunteers to fly in the Eagle Squadron during the Battle of Britain. Evelyn and Danny are sent to Honolulu, with Rafe arriving there, much to their surprise, on Dec. 5.
Colm Feore's Adm. Kimmel and others in command at Pearl Harbor are alarmed at the apparent disappearance of the Japanese fleet, and Kimmel's cryptologist (Dan Aykroyd) feels certain that the Japanese are heading for Pearl Harbor instead of the Philippines or the South Seas, but he hasn't quite cracked the Japanese code.
The Americans have cut off Japan's oil supplies, and Adm. Yamamoto (Mako), a famously reluctant but brilliant Harvard-educated warrior, sees no course but to launch a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, where more than 100 ships, about half the entire U.S. Pacific Fleet, were anchored. At 7:55 on a Sunday morning, the Japanese unleashed 183 planes aimed not only at the ships in Pearl Harbor but at all military installations on Oahu.
Bay, cinematographer John Schwartzman and their crew convey the swiftness and the vast scope of the attack; they give us the tremendous scale of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, with special focus on the fate of the USS Arizona, which exploded and quickly sank. Of the 1,514 men aboard 1,177 lost their lives, 900 trapped in the vessel, never to be recovered.
At the time of the attack sequence, we have already met Cuba Gooding Jr.'s real-life Dorie Miller, who as a black man in the segregated U.S. armed services of the time was confined to cooking in the USS Arizona's galley--but who gets his chance to be a gunner more swiftly than he could have ever imagined. Bay suggests the magnitude and horror of the attack without lingering on images of hideous suffering to the point of morbidity.
But "Pearl Harbor" does not end on a note of disaster and disarray; instead, Roosevelt rallies America and its armed forces by sending Doolittle (Alec Baldwin) to lead a bold retaliatory bombing run over Tokyo.
While the roles of Rafe and Danny could have been given more individuality, they are clean-cut, all-American archetypes of the era and have been given contrasting temperaments. For Affleck, "Pearl Harbor" is a confirmation of his stardom. For Hartnett, it's a coming of age; like Beckinsale, Hartnett has risen fast with solid performances.
Gooding, Baldwin and Jon Voight as FDR head a huge cast that includes Tom Sizemore and Scott Wilson, among other standouts.
Special-effects coordinator John Frazier and set coordinator Jim Schwalm spent a month rigging the fleet for its destruction. Aerial coordinator Alan Purwin and his crew staged some of the most ferocious, exciting aerial combats ever filmed--over Tokyo and Britain as well as Oahu. Production designer Nigel Phelps and costume designer Michael Kaplan evoke the period in a wide range of locales meticulously but without exaggerating fads of the era. Hans Zimmer's score is rightly stately and soaring.
Bay, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and the entire cast and crew have given us a "Pearl Harbor" to remember.

Anyone who tells you miracles don't happen today needs to meet Nigerian Habila Adamu. Members of the Boko Haram terrorist group stormed into his house last November and shot him in the face after he repeatedly refused to renounce his faith in Jesus Christ.
Everyone--including his Boko Haram assailants and his wife thought he was dead. But Habila survived and gives all honor and praise to Christ.
He told me his story today, and I had to share it with you. It's an amazing miracle that he survived.
Watch and listen. You'll be encouraged and I hope moved to pray for peace in Nigeria and God's protection and provision for our Christian family there.

In this installment of "For Him", We are talking about Axe's new Just Clean Shampoo, Clean Cut Pomade and Just Soft Conditioner. With a fresh scent and invigorating tonic, "AXE gets you a clean she'll notice. The conditioner has "magnetic softeners" that leave your hair so soft to the touch, girls can't resist".
It smells nice but what do I know about any of this? So I went straight to the source…a teenager. I have recruited my 13 year old son Tyler for the job and although he kind of shrugs when asked about the girl factor, he liked everything else about the products. Let's hear what he has to say….
Did you like the Axe Shampoo? Yes, it was awesome! My hair felt really clean after I washed it out.
How about the conditioner? Totally awesome, my hair feels smooth.
What about the scent?? I liked the smell, it reminded me of my Irish Spring soap so that was awesome.
Lastly, the pomade…how did that go? It was tricky to use because I used too much first so it kind of globbed up, but once I wet my hair a little and brushed it in, my hair looked great!
Axe products are all super affordable and can be purchased at major drugstore retailers, supermarkets and drugstore.com.
Stay Manly!!

How many times have we heard it said, "There is no "I" in team." It's true. In a sense, it takes a very different mindset to play a team sport (baseball, football, basketball) than an individual sport (golf, tennis). We have seen this contrast recently in the Ryder Cup golf competitions where American golfers have struggled to take their individual games into a team context. Why have they had trouble making it work? Because golf is an "I" game, and the challenge to work together doesn't come easily. What does it take to succeed in a team sport? Among many things, two significant attitudes: priorities and cooperation. The priority piece is wrapped up in putting the success and goals of the team ahead of personal achievements or statistics. If your priority is one self-promotion, you will never be a valued teammate—you will actually be a burden and drag on the larger purposes of the team. The cooperation piece is that we must learn how to pull on the same end of the rope together. All of this is beautifully pictured by the Bible's description of the Body of Christ and how all the members of the Body, like a physical body, function together to accomplish higher purpose. Beyond the functionality, however, is the absolutely vital element of attitude—and that attitude is captured by the apostle Paul when he wrote to the Body of Christ at Philippi:
Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. (Philippians 2:3-4)A trusted teammate recognizes and embraces the value of subordinating self to the needs and goals of those around us. Are you a trusted teammate?

Granite City, IL (KSDK) - Lock and Dam 27 near Granite City reopened Thursday after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers gave crews the go-ahead following days of emergency repairs.
Hundreds of barges and dozens of vessels have been stuck on the Mississippi since Saturday, when damage to a protection cell forced the lock to close.
A protection cell is a rock-filled steel cylinder that barges rub against to help them enter the lock. The protection cell had split, spilling rock into the lock, blocking the passage to vessels.
It cost about $500,000 to removed the spilled rocks. The damaged protection cell will cost $2 million to replace.
It is expected to take two or three days for the barge backlog to clear Lock and Dam 27.
The closing of Lock and Dam 27 also affected the economy, to the tune of $2.8 million worth of gas costs and late cargo fees.
Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.

SACRAMENTO — In just the first three weeks of January, Cal Fire has already responded to a significant increase in wildfires this winter due to the extremely dry conditions. As a result, Cal Fire officials are reminding residents to ensure they are maintaining 100 feet of defensible space; a reminder that comes several months earlier than normal.
"We are experiencing conditions right now that we would usually see in August," said Chief Ken Pimlott, Cal Fire director. "In Southern California we never really transitioned out of fire season and in Northern California we are already in the process of hiring additional seasonal firefighters to augment our permanent firefighters who have been staffing extra fire equipment this winter. We have increased our personnel and now we need the public to make sure they, too, are prepared for early fire season conditions."
With record low rainfall, the grass and brush across California is tinder dry and ready to burn. Already this year Cal Fire has responded to nearly 300 wildfires that have charred over 700 acres. In a normal year the department only responds to about 50 fires that all together would char a little over 100 acres.
Many of these fires have been sparked by powered equipment like lawn mowers and weed trimmers. While maintaining Defensible Space is critical right now, residents are asked not to use powered equipment outdoors during the heat of the day when it's dry and windy, and especially on Red Flag Warning Days.
Clearance work should be done in the early morning when temperatures are down and humidity is up, to avoid sparking a wildfire. One less spark means one less wildfire.
Defensible space tips:
• Maintain 100 feet of defensible space around all structures.
• Clear all needles and leaves from roofs, eaves and rain gutters.
• Trim branches 6 feet from the ground.
• Landscape with fire resistant/drought tolerant plants, that require little water.
• Remove branches away from roofs and 10 feet from the chimney.
• Use trimming, mowing and powered equipment before 10 a.m., and not on hot, windy days.
• Keep wood piles and flammable materials at least 30 feet from the home.
The increased fire threat has also led officials to suspend outdoor residential landscape debris burning in many areas. Homeowners should always check with their local Cal Fire station or fire department before burning outdoors. There are several alternative ways to dispose of trimmed branches and yard clippings including chipping, or taking it to a green waste facility. Residents can check with their local fire safe council for alternative landscape debris disposal programs.
