well i could take your opinion, some dude on a messageboard. or johnny minardi's opinion, who said it's that specific show you were talking about was the "best live show he's ever seen." i could also take the opinion of 2 major labels who are giving them offers after seeing their live show. but hey, what the fuck do they know?
where's ashlee simpson?
I could not agree more with this statement.
The Hives?
When was the last time a really good band signed to a major record label and put out a really good album thereafter?
maybe tate will want to take this one, but uh, over it.
Are you serious? Have you seen the Hives live? They are fucking insane on stage. Its not about whether or not you like them. It's about how they perform.
they are fucking amazing
were you at the show? are you in a band? i'm not going to attack your band because i don't stoop to that level, but i'm just curious.
Haven't given them enough of a listen to judge, but by major I'm talking about the serious major record labels like: Universal, Sony, EMI, BMG, and Warner Bros (for clarification).
Red Hot Chili Peppers are the fucking best live band around, U2 is good but RHCP is fucking phenomenol, no one is better than them period...
...i love the kids saying OMG MONEEN blah blah insert some small ass band that couldnt hold a candle to alot of those bands....you guys are idiots.....like 3 bands mentioned on this website can play for over an hour.....alot of the bands on that list play 2-3 hour sets.
Something Corporate and Muse both belong on this list as well
Pre-major albums were so far beyond compared to since that you must be joking
i mean, you know virgin is under EMI right? i don't really get your point. do you feel no bands/artists have ever gone major and put out a good record? didn't kanye like, just do that?
I need to see both before I die.
What about Steel Train?
Or Anathallo?
Or House Of Fools?
Or Rx Bandits?
I don't know if anyone mentioned Reggie and the Full Effect, but James' live show is full of energy and hilarious.
Love seeing all the people shouting out names of small times bands that they actually expect would be on this list (TREOS, Dillinger Escape Plan, Anathallo) It's fine to shout out the names of bands you think are good live but why you would ever think Spin would put them in their magazine I have no idea.
Haven't seen the Arcade Fire yet but I really want to, and even though I haven't seen them yet, from all things I hear the Decemberists are a band that realistically could have and should have made that list. I'd be curious to know if anyone's ever seen a Spoon show and if they're good live.
As far as scene bands that do live shows right by me, Brand New never fails to put on a great show and Gatsby's American Dream really knows how to get a crowd going (as my friend likes to say, Nic is one of the greatest frontmen out there)
crowley beat me to it, but basically everything he said i agree with. and i'm sure johnny minardi had dollar signs in his eyes when he said that too. major labels talk to bands a lot more often than you think most of the time to scoop them up and groom them to be the poster boys of MTV for a month or 2. they take shitty bands and give them good equipment, good sound guys and throw them on a big tour, make tons of cash off of them and then they cut them free when they've lost their appeal to the masses of 13 yr. olds. the lable reps at that show saw the bros and teenyboppers in the crowd and said "this is a band that is marketable." powerspace isn't getting anywhere on their musical abilities, ecspecially not in a live setting.
Regardless of whether a band is small or not, that doesn't mean that they put less heart, energy, talent, or showmanship into their music. Good job.
Yeah, that's why I clarified and said strictly with the major labels. Otherwise we could say TREOS did since they release BTHATS with Triple Crown since technically they're a part of Warner music.
Their Capitol Records debut is un-fucking-believeable aside from one off-putting techno song.
As much as I love Gatsby's, they'll never make a top 25 list like this because it's not what they're about. They play to much smaller venues and don't try to pander to anyone, but rather just play an awesome show (which some misinterpret).
wow dude, they write more complex songs musically than the practically all of the simple 3 chord poppunk bands out there and they have the gift of melody.
i love it seems like you view anything that has the potential to be successful in the mainstream as "shitty." also, i'm sure he did have dollar signs in his eyes. he is helping run a business.
you're acting like you want to protect them from the evil labels more than anything. don't worry, they are big boys and they can handle themselves.
True that.
this list needs more Thursday.
Out of the handfull I've seen, they aren't anything too special for the most part.
where is...
it was the funnest show I've been to ALL year...hell, the last 2 years.
Common Denominator
2 hours of good music.
oh yeah 311 should be on this list as well as tool and nine inch nails.
saying that they make more complex songs needs to be put in context. yes they make more complex songs than a 3 chord punk band because they have that cutting edge dance vibe to them. oh yeah and they play techno beats through a laptop. thats WAY more complex.
and i don't view any potentially successful band in a bad way, i just view the really bad ones that way. there are tons of smaller bands that have potential to be succeessful, and when a band like this is being courted by majors and and big-name indies that aggravates the hell out of me. they are just riding this new dance pop-punk wave and despite having a really solid clean sounding recording, (for the record the songs on myspace aren't bad. the production is good and the vocals are too) they cannot do those recordings any justice live. the singer is just flat out bad. he's a good showman with his blazer and aviators and acrobatics, but as far as singing goes (that's what he is right? a singer?) he's really bad live.
let them get hung out to dry by a major.
I know they wouldn't make the list and hope they never get big enough to make a list like this but Big D and the Kids table never dissapoints, both in the sound and entertainment factors. I also agree with whoever said Flogging Molly. Rancid is another band that i have seen multiple times with out disapointment. And the best band that i have seen live is the Aquabats. In areas besides punk, Poison is great live, and the one band i make sure i catch whenever they come around.
this is rare! someone who listens to punk on absolutepunk.net!
Holy shit, yes! mewithoutYou is fucking insane live. One of the most...interesting bands I've ever seen. I saw them once at Nokia Theater, NYC with CO&CA and dredg. Another at Toad's Place, New Haven CT with minusthebear and Thursday. I think that those bands should also be up on there.
The Mars Volta should be higher on the list, they are amazing muscians and have a crqzy live show (so I hear). Also, AFI was great when I saw them back in 2003, pre-Sing The Sorrow (Feb '03) and post (around like July/August 03?)
The Receiving End of Sirens... they blew away Circa Survive when I saw them. That's all I needed to see.
okay. as long as you admit that. now just know a few things:
- that was maybe their 10th show, ever.
- they had a brand new (not very good) drummer for that show who had only played with them a for a week before it.
- they now have their original drummer back who is flat out insane at drums.
- they are only going up in terms of live performances. the singer is relatively new to singing, he obviously has a gift and he just needs to hone it.
i understand you have a band or a friend's band or just know of a few bands that you think deserve to be signed, but hating on a band that has a very good chance of getting signed will not get you anywhere. their whole goal is to blow up and help all their friends bands get big too.
Where are Green Day and Motion City?
NOFX is also a great band to see live.
mars volta should be much higher
spin blows
...primus should also be on there.
25. Comets on Fire - I haven't heard
24. The Mars Volta - YES
23. AFI - NO; better on album
22. LCD Soundsystem - YES
21. Against Me! - YES
20. Gogol Bordello - YES
19. Art Brut - YES; in fact, why even buy the record
18. My Morning Jacket - Can't comment
17. The Roots - YES
16. The Flaming Lips - YES
15. Riverboat Gamblers - NO; this band sucks
14. Yeah Yeah Yeah's - YES
13. My Chemical Romance - Kindof.... good visual show but Gerard kindof can't sing
12. Turbonegro - NO
11. Queens of the Stone Age - NO
10 The Dirtbombs - NO
9. Prince - NO
8. The Hives - NO; also better on the record
7. Green Day - YES
6. The White Stripes - YES; despite allusions to a drum machine
5. Radiohead - NO; overrated
4. Red Hot Chili Peppers - NO; old hacks past their time
3. Arcade Fire - YES
2. The Stooges - NO; also past their time
1. U2 - NO; worst band of all time
-Well with that being their 10th show ever, the comparisons to P!atD are obvious.
-I didn't notice the drumming being all that bad.
-Good for them
-Let him hone it, but for them to get wined and dined by major reps seems ridiculous after how they played at that show.
and yes it's awesome when bands blow up and help out smaller bands, but Chicago's where alot of the music scene is at right now, before too long people are gonna start ignoring bands from here when the market is oversaturated.
MAN MAN is the best band i've seen lately.
P!ATD got signed off of 3 demos w/o ever playing a note live.
and you view of the chicago music scene is very pessimistic. i don't think anyone will ever "ignore" a talented band coming out of chicago. if anything, the more bands that get big out of chicago, the more labels will be searching this city with a microscope for the next big thing.
anyway, why don't you give me a few names of a few chicago bands that you think deserve to be signed. i'm always down for supporting the local scene. and i'm not going to try to compare my boys to any band you rec me. i'm just a music lover.
to the dillinger part
No Andrew WK? That's not just a concert it's an experience.
I forgot about him. Fuck.
Moneen and Andrew WK duke it out for no. 1.

Acer Iconia Tab A500's Android 4.0 update shows early
updated 07:25 pm EDT, Wed April 25, 2012
OTA update arrives ahead of schedule
Android 4.0 has arrived just a couple of days earlier than previously billed for Acer's Iconia Tab A500, according to reports from Android Central. The OS update had been scheduled to arrive April 27.
Acer has been rolling out the OS update for its Iconia line of tablets since February, with the Iconia Tab A200 first in line. That update fixed a number of bugs in the A200's operation, improving browser responsiveness and microphone functioning, along with the features Android 4.0 itself brings.
The A500 was scheduled to receive an update this Friday, but users in the Android Central forums report that their devices received an over-the-air update as of this morning. There has been no word yet on whether the update has also been applied to the seven-inch A100, which is also scheduled to be updated in April.

Stock photo of sneezing woman
Flu season usually peaks in January or February, when many people also get winter colds. So how do you tell the difference?
Colds and flu can share some of the same symptoms, says emergency medicine specialist Hans House of the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. Where they differ is severity: "You can usually still function with a cold. When you have that high fever and your whole body aches ... that's probably the flu," he says.
Differences cited by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases: ...

Case on Congo fever in Western CapeComment on this story
Cape Town - The woman being treated for Congo fever at the Mediclinic Vergelen in Somerset West, Western Cape, is an isolated case, hospital officials said on Sunday.
"The woman is in isolation and there are no other cases of the fever at the clinic at this time," Mediclinic Vergelen regional marketing manager Nadia Padayachi said.
The 39-year-old contracted the fever from a multi-coloured tick. She was in a serious but stable condition after she was admitted to the hospital over a week ago.
People with Congo fever suffer from flu-like symptoms and haemorrhaging.
According to the World Health Organisation Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever is primarily transmitted to people from ticks and livestock animals. Human-to-human transmission can occur from close contact with the blood, secretions, organs, or other bodily fluids of infected persons. There is no vaccine available for either people or animals. -Sapa

State Historic Marker
Dedicated at the Masonic Temple
On Dec. 6, 2007, the Masonic Temple was honored to receive an official Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission marker. One of only several awarded each year, the marker commemorates the important role the Masonic Temple and Pennsylvania Freemasonry played in the heritage of our state. This marker joins several thousand stretched across the Commonwealth since the program was created in 1946. Although the snowy weather hampered the dedication ceremony, it did not dull the enthusiasm of the participants. The Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania and the Masonic Library and Museum of Pennsylvania, led by Ronald A. Aungst, Sr., then-R.W. Grand Master, were privileged to have attending the program, as their guests, former Philadelphia Mayor and Brother John Street and Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission Chairman Wayne Spilove.
Making impressive appearances were Brother John Wanamaker (the prominent Philadelphia merchant and Pennsylvania Mason was portrayed by historical reenactor Robert Gleason), the Sons of the American Revolution Philadelphia-Continental Chapter Color Guard and elements of the Philadelphia Fife & Drum Corp., attired in 18th century uniforms.
"This beautiful marker," said the Masonic Library and Museum of Pennsylvania Executive Director Andrew Zellers-Frederick, "serves to tell everyone who passes by on Philadelphia's Broad Street, the prominence of the Masonic Temple and that it is the first historical building on the expanding northern section of Philadelphia's Avenue of the Arts."

The San Francisco 49ers have known all week that defensive lineman Justin Smith is going to play today.
What they dont know is how effective the Pro Bowler will be playing with a partially torn triceps in his left arm. But after watching Smith practice all week with his left arm protected by a brace and going against 335-pound backup offensive lineman Leonard Davis, one of Smiths teammates, safety Donte Whitner, estimated that Smith will be 95 percent of full strength, which if true would be a huge boon for the 49ers.
When youre out there and against a big guy like Leonard Davis and youre pushing him around with both arms, I dont think you really have a problem, Whitner told the San Francisco Chronicle. Hes one of the biggest offensive guards in the National Football league. So to be able to go out there and practice against him all week and be able to control him and move around with both arms, I think Justin showed a lot by doing that.
I think hell be 95 percent Leonard Davis is a large guy and hes not out there just pass-setting every play. Hes coming off and Justin has been testing himself and moving him around. Hes been doing a good job all week. The gloves have been off. Hell be ready for us.
Said Davis: As far as percentage-wise, its hard to tell. Its not like we have pads on, so its not like we can really go at it. Its hard to really say Its not a walkthrough tempo. Its not full-speed game tempo. But were out there moving quick.
Smih is listed as probable on the 49ers injury report, which means theres a virtual certainty hell be available for his normal amount of playing time. The 49ers had 13 players on their injury report, but all are probable.
Defensive tackle Justin Smith, the owner of a now-famous partially torn left triceps, is among 13 players listed as probable on the 49ers injury report in advance of Saturdays divisional-playoff showdown against the Packers.

Test-tube burgers to be served this year
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 02/20/2012 @ 2:01 pm In Money | No Comments
(TELEGRAPH) — The world's first test tube hamburger will be served up this October after scientists perfected the art of growing beef in the lab.
By generating strips of meat from stem cells researchers believe they can create a product that is identical to a real burger.
The process of culturing the artificial meat in the lab is so laborious that the finished product, expected to arrive in eight months' time, will cost about £220,000 (EUR250,000).
But researchers expect that after producing their first patty they will be able to scale up the process to create affordable artificial meat products

Supernatural (Eight seasons available via Netflix)
While I would argue that Supernatural slightly downgraded from a great show to just a good show after season five, it's still one of the best things on TV in my opinion, and it is most certainly worthy of binge watching. What makes Supernatural such a fun show to binge through is its mix of case-of-the-week episodes that tie into its over-arching mythology. Plus, the performances from Jared Padalecki and, especially, Jensen Ackles are far better than what you'll find on a lot of CW shows and deserve much more praise than they get. Not to mention, the chemistry between the two of them as Sam and Dean makes you believe that they could also be brothers in real life.

Jonathan Weisman reports on the White House.
If you want to know why it's been so hard for President Barack Obama and the Democrats to pay for their expansion of health insurance coverage, consider the plight of the Senate Finance Committee negotiators.
With something like $300 billion to raise, the bipartisan Gang Of Six is looking for any little pot of money that won't raise a fuss, the man behind the tree from the famous Russell Long quote, "don't tax you, don't tax me, tax the fellow behind the tree." They thought they found about $20 billion by capping the amount businesses could allow employees to put into tax-free flexible spending accounts.
The result: the formation of a new group, Save Flexible Spending Plans, to beat back even that. Business groups specializing in compensation are striking back. The man behind the tree must be heard.

Air Force One casts a shadow as it lands in Fresno, Calif., carrying President Barack Obama�to discuss the ongoing drought, Friday, Feb. 14, 2014. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) / AP
Emphasizing a link between climate change and more intense droughts, President Barack Obama said Friday that California and the West must rethink water use to prepare for more dry spells, and he announced new federal aid to help the state cope with its worst drought in more than a century.
Visiting Los Banos in the drought-stricken Central Valley, Obama toured part of a farm that will be left fallow this year, and he announced more than $160 million in federal financial aid, including $100 million in the farm bill he signed into law last week for programs that cover the loss of livestock.
MORE: Water coverage
The president said scientific evidence is clear that rising temperatures influence drought, and that even if the U.S. takes action to curb carbon emissions, the planet will keep getting warmer �for a long time to come� due to the greenhouse gases that have already built up.
�We�re going to have to stop looking at these disasters as something to wait for,� Obama said. �We�ve got to start looking at these disasters as something to prepare for, to anticipate, to start building new infrastructure, to start having new plans, to recalibrate the baseline that we�re working off of.�
MORE: Sunnylands coverage
After arriving in the Central Valley on Friday afternoon, Obama met with community leaders, including representatives of farms, farm labor and water districts.
�One of the great things about that town hall that I just came out of, not everybody agreed on anything, except people did agree that we can�t keep on doing business as usual,� Obama said. �That�s what people did understand, that there has to be a sense of urgency about this.�
RELATED: Experts urge long-term approach to water scarcity in California
Obama was accompanied by Gov. Jerry Brown, Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein and other officials.
The president urged Congress to act swiftly on Democratic legislation backed by Boxer and Feinstein that would pour $300 million into emergency aid and drought-relief projects, upgrade city water systems and water conservation, and speed up environmental reviews of water projects, among other steps.
The president also said the budget he will send to Congress next month will include $1 billion for a proposed �climate resilience fund� to invest in research and pay for new technologies to help communities deal with the effects of climate change. The proposal is likely to face stiff resistance from some lawmakers.
In addition to the more than $160 million in federal drought relief assistance, the government is also providing smaller amounts to aid in the most extreme drought areas and to help food banks that serve families affected by water shortages. Obama also called on federal facilities in California to limit water consumption immediately.
�These actions will help, but they�re just the first step,� he said. �We have to be clear. A changing climate means that weather-related disasters like droughts, wildfires, storms, floods, are potentially going to be costlier and they�re going to be harsher.�
Obama said people across the West �are going to have to start rethinking how we approach water for decades to come.�
�The good news is California is always on the cutting edge. Already, you use water far more efficiently than you did decades ago,� Obama said. He noted that farms have become more efficient using drip irrigation, and said: �We know that we can innovate and meet this challenge, but we�ve got to start now.�
The White House has been closely watching the California drought, which follows a year of the lowest rainfall on record. The drought has also brought to a head political fighting over the state�s water resources that feed major cities, the country�s richest agricultural region and waterways that provide habitat for endangered species of fish.
�What we have to do is all come together and figure out how are we all going to make sure that agricultural needs, urban needs, industrial needs, environmental and conservation concerns are all addressed,� Obama said. �That�s going to be a big project, but it�s one that I�m confident we can do.�
Obama visited the Fresno area before traveling to the Coachella Valley on Friday night to meet with Jordan�s King Abdullah II at the Rancho Mirage estate Sunnylands.
Obama said at a water facility in Firebaugh that no longer can the U.S. afford to think about water as a competition between the nation�s agricultural and urban areas. With overall water resources expected to diminish significantly in the future, he said, the country must find better ways to cooperate.
�We are going to stay on top of this because it has national implications,� Obama said.
Farmers recently learned they will not receive irrigation water from the State Water Project, a system of rivers, canals and reservoirs. They anticipate a similar announcement later this month from federal authorities who operate a similar system called the Central Valley Project.
Federal officials earlier this month pledged $34 million to help farmers and ranchers conserve scarce water supplies, improve irrigation methods, head off erosion of unplanted fields and create better ways to water livestock.
The Republican-controlled House recently voted to address the drought by rolling back environmental protections and temporarily halting the restoration of a dried-up stretch of the San Joaquin River, work that is designed to restore historic salmon runs. Farmers would prefer to have the water diverted to their crops instead.
Environmentalists and Democrats oppose the bill, and the White House has threatened a veto, arguing that the measure would not alleviate the drought but would undo decades of work to address California�s longstanding water shortages.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

RB DeMarco Murray picks up steam, powers Cowboys to the finish line
IRVING – When the Cowboys drafted DeMarco Murray in the third round of the 2011 NFL Draft, they knew they were picking an accomplished running back with an attractive skill-set.
At Oklahoma, Murray showcased speed, athleticism and reliable hands – qualities that were readily apparent on game tape. But there was one trait that Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett didn't really recognize until the second-year player arrived in Dallas: His power.
"I don't know if any of us really, really saw how physical he was at the end of plays," Garrett said Thursday. "All the great runners that I've been around are guys that finish runs. You think it's a 4-yard run; boy, he made 6. You think it's an 8-yard run; aw, he made a first down. He has that ability."
That much was apparent Wednesday in the second half of the Cowboys' 24-17 victory over the New York Giants on Wednesday, when Murray gained 111 of his 131 rushing yards and helped the Cowboys preserve a lead in the late stages.
For those watching from a distance, it seemed Murray was picking up steam as the game progressed. In many ways, he was.
His workload increased over the course of the game by design. Garrett wanted to pound away at the Giants with Murray, hoping that their defense would eventually tire and weaken. And not surprisingly the quarter in which Murray carried the ball the most was the fourth, when he rushed seven times for 44 yards.
"We wanted to make sure we kept calling runs," Garrett said. "Over time I think you can wear a defense down."
Before Wednesday, there was certainly plenty of evidence that suggested that it was an effective course of action. In every game Murray had carried the ball at least 20 times, the Cowboys won. On Wednesday, Murray ran 20 times and Dallas prevailed yet again. With the power he displayed, Murray once again influenced the outcome.

Product Description
0192 Chisel Plough-Stump Jump – Berends
The stump jump chisel plough is an ideal tool for primary cultivation.
The spring action of the tines and chisel points have been proven to penetrate where many other machines find conditions too hard. Other machines often have a closely bound spring, which means they become coil bound in hard ground and fail to penetrate.
Our more open spring gives a longer, more progressive action, actually chiselling as the machine moves through the ground, This also reduces the horsepower requirement as each tine moving the load at any one point, whereas a rigid tine has no way of doing this.
The machine is inexpensive and when used prior to rotary hoeing, power harrowing or discing there are many benefits.
The subsequent operation is done faster, with less wear on the machine, less wear on the tractor and less diesel used It is a question of the right machine for the job.
In many cases a power harrow will manage primary cultivation but it often does not do it easily as its design function is secondary cultivation. Use of a chisel plough prior more than offsets the cost of an additional operation as it means both machines are working to their optimum, saving time and money
- Heavy Duty 75x75x6mm Frame
- Cat 1 & 2 Linkage
- 65mm Reversible Points as standard
- Silicone chrome spring steel shanks
- Available in 5, 7, 9 and 11 tine sizes with tines at 12″ adjustable spacings

- Excellent underframe trash clearance of 520mm
- Adjustable spring is designed to give a longer, more progressive action, actually chiselling as the machine moves through the ground
- The wheel kit consists of a pair of 14″ Holden wheels, height adjustable, fitted on the outside of the machine (increasing the overall width approx 450mm (18?)
- Points available 10″x8mm Dart Point
- Points available 16″x8mm Sweep

MRC has good visibility into its revenue stream, a factor that we find attractive. The majority of products MRC distributes are tied to maintenance and repair contracts, in which regular wear and tear at customer facilities generates recurring revenue. Customer renewal rates on these contracts run in excess of 90%. The company operates 400 facilities, including 200 service centers, 22 valve shops and 180 pipe yards that are strategically located near major shale and refining regions across the globe. We are optimistic about the company's growth prospects for several reasons, including strong end market demand driven by promising new shale discoveries, unconventional drilling techniques, and the need to upgrade aging energy transmission infrastructure. Furthermore, MRC's business is well-diversified across the three key segments of the energy market: upstream, midstream and downstream.
In addition to posting double-digit organic growth during the last three years, MRC has also done a fine job acquiring smaller PVF distributors and gaining operational efficiencies. We envision ongoing acquisitions, particularly overseas where margins are higher and competition more fragmented. International revenues represent just 20% of the business today, whereas an estimated 75% of total global energy spending occurs outside North America.
Finally, we believe that MRC possesses a high quality management team. CEO Andrew Lane has a long track record in the energy sector, serving most recently as the COO of Halliburton until 2008, when he joined MRC prior to its IPO, citing its compelling growth prospects and market share opportunities.

Talk:Osaarian merchant ship
Back to page
this wiki
Re-use of Voyager cgi model in 'Anomaly'?Edit
In ENT: Anomaly, is the Ossarian ship model a re-use of Voyager, albeit with different colouring, some additions to the top of the saucer and re-sized?
It seems extremely similar. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.8.131.52 (talk).
- I see what you mean, but I think it looks completely different. It didn't occur to me that it might look like Voyager at all. DaveSubspace Message 01:56, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- It shares the same basic physical arrangement, but that is about it. --OuroborosCobra talk 04:23, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. In retrospect there are some quite obvious differences (the nacelle struts for one). I guess the saucer section threw me off a bit. I might have had the armored Voyager in mind at the time too.
Anony. (Sorry, not quite sure how to sign/etc properly without an account)
- There is certainly a degree of inspiration, might have to check with someone to see if that was the case. --Alan 15:16, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Weaponry Edit
I just watched "Anomaly" and the Osaarian never said their ship was heavily armed to begin with. How do we know whether they started with those weapons or got them through piracy? – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mitchz95 (talk • contribs).

The Waldorf Astoria Launches Program To Get Its Stolen Items Back
To create a historical design archive, New York hotel the Waldorf Astoria has launched an amnesty program, asking people with swiped memorabilia to return the items along with a note explaining how they were taken. What's being returned? A lot more than bathrobes.
One note reads: "My mother would go to fancy hotels and take demitasse spoons. She gave them to me years ago. I still use them."
"We suspect this ashtray was taken by a bachelor uncle, Princeton 1928, who worked in New York. Did he succumb to youthful temptation?"
"This coffeepot was taken by my dad on his honeymoon in 1938. They splurged on this one special night."
This soup terrine was swiped in 1947 by a then-impoverished couple. The woman returned it in person: "I don't want it anymore."
Frank Sinatra and his wife moved into a suite at the Waldorf in 1964. Old Blue Eyes's monogrammed shower doors went missing during hotel renovations.

Me personally I like my grand slam it climbs well and is pretty comfortable. I have a few friends that wouldn't buy anything else but I would still like to try the tree lounge.
The stand is great. It is a little bulky but not that bad.
Would definitely buy another. My stand has seen many deer both harvested and photographed.
Other than being a little on the heavy side I feel very safe and comfortable in it. I can sit in it all day if I choose to.
Rob..........................Shrink rap on cables wear off easy causing noise in tubes, but you can by more fom API for $10.00. Great gun hunting stand. Fair bowhunting stand. I wish this stand was lighter, it gets heavy during a long walk. 23 Lbs.
MIKE...................This is an excellent stand. It is a little heavy but once you get to your tree it's worth it. Very comfortable !

Recently we were invited by Activision to check out Modern Warfare 3 and partake in the Spec Ops Survival mode. Prior to gripping a controller we were told we 'must' check out the single player first. Not one to argue with authority, or the big burly man that is Glen Schofield of Sledgehammer Games, I complied. We sat down in front of a very large HD Samsung TV in what was a very dark room other than the light brimming from the open door. At that point I knew, I was in for something special.
Black Tuesday
Glen stepped in after us and introduced us to another member of the Sledgehammer staff and showed us the screen that had two things written on it: Black Tuesday and Hunter Killer. He explained that we were going to be seeing Hunter Killerand Mind The Gap. Right there, I was sad we could not see the sure to be epic opening sequence. Alas, he explained how the game takes place merely hours after the story ends in Modern Warfare 2 and all hell has broken loose as Russia has declared all-out war. It looks to me like Shepard's plan from MW2 worked out after all. As he left, I was left with nothing to light my notepad but the gleam of the 50" television. I stared hard at the details of every nuance and at the water. The mission starts out with the player (referred to as Frost) in what appears to be a Navy Seal wetsuit and on a motorized underwater vehicle of sorts. Your goal at this point is to follow the Russian submarine. At a set point you must come to a standstill and wait as the sub passes and then plant a mine on the tail of it and detonate it once you get clear. This causes the sub to surface and you and the rest of your team to begin its assault, you are partnered with Sandman and are given the goal of retrieving the launch codes for the missiles on board the submarine. After some room clearing we get the 'In The Interest Of Time' notice and are shown a later part of the mission. Frost and Sandman now place a kicker charge on the door and breach the control room with shotguns blasting in glorious slow-mo. The particles go flying and the blood goes spraying in slightly higher detail than ever before; I was very impressed. Once you an Sandman successfully launch the missiles it is time to hightail it out of the sub and onto a speedboat akin to the ending chase from Modern Warfare 2. You fend off some enemies in epic Michael Bay type explosions from the fires of hell and into the helicopter for a mission complete.
The Train Flipped…Again
Well,at that point my day could not get any better – after seeing that amazing spectacle for myself. However, it was only the beginning. The player bent over and switched outputs and Xbox consoles to another console which already had another mission loaded: Mind The Gap. In this you seem to be a British SAS soldier named Burns. The first part of the mission is all about sneaking and silent kills in a way that I love, which is the same as the other Modern Warfare titles. The snow missions were my personal favorite. Your goal is to sweep and clear the warehouses as you dodge patrols, spotlights and chopper lights and take out enemies silently. After a half a dozen dead bodies you get to cargo trailer, and you are asked to open it. To the surprise of the player and all of your squad, it is empty. Right then a helicopter rides by and spots all of you, the enemies come out from the woodwork and you have to fight your way through and the order to 'go loud' is given. Another 'In The Interest Of Time' pops up and I let out an inner sigh as it's like having a commercial during that part of a movie where you're getting really sucked into the moment. No matter, because at this point a few more enemies are killed and you end up at a train station with a pickup truck and you are given the order to stop the train. I would assume it is either full of enemies, or they have something against public transportation. An amazingly epic, tooth and nail rail shooting sequence ensues. If this mission follows the last it would be odd to have two right next to each other but the gameplay is astounding. It is full of glass shattering, pieces of debris flying everywhere, last minute lane changes as an oncoming train is about to make you into subway chow. In the end you take out everyone no board and the train sort of goes at a ninety degree angle and starts an epic flip from hell. I would have to say it flips around four to five times and every time it is amazing with debris flying everywhere and people screaming. It is simply one of the coolest action sequences I have had the pleasure to see in a Call Of Duty title ever. Oh, and that ended the mission.
The Intel
So what did we get out of this whole amazing experience? The game has improved graphically at the more than capable hands of Sledgehammer Games, who have proved themselves as worthy partners to the infamous Infinity Ward. The lighting and the textures on the walls, guns, and even faces were so much more detailed. It may take a minute to notice but it is there. The game will have a lot of returning weapons. We spotted the P90, AK-74U, G18, UMP45 and the ACR to name a few. The Spec Ops Survival also showed off the AK47 and the Model 18 which now seem to have a slower reload time. The missions feel more diverse except the fact that two driving sequences, boat and truck happen right next to eachother seemingly if that is the final order of the story missions. It is possible that the order was just there seeing as they take part in two different places on the globe. We were also later told that New York, England, and the aforementioned cities in the trailers leading up to the Modern Warfare 3 reveal were just the beginning they are looking to travel to a lot more locales and they emphasize that this is a global conflict and that this is the buildup that Infinity Ward started with Call of Duty 4 and this is the 'big payoff'. So, why does November have to be so far away again?
7 Comments to " Modern Warfare 3 SinglePlayer Preview "
Not even one mention of the spec ops mode. Don't even mention it if you're not going to give us anything.
so when you say in the intrest of time captions in the middle of missions will this be actually be in the mission or is that because it was like a demo?
great review i cant wait
This was a really good post. I'm glad I found it on google. I would have never known.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Only a few high schools in Las Vegas will offer
block scheduling in the fall as most are dropping the plan to help
save the district $11 million each year.
The school board and Clark County School District Superintendent
Walt Rulffes decided to cut the block scheduling to help the
district comply with state-ordered budget cuts of $120 million per
Block schedules allow students to take more credits by holding
longer classes on alternating days. In typical cases, the schedule
lets kids take eight classes instead of six.
But the special scheduling also requires more teachers, and
schools are losing the extra position.
The district tells schools they can keep the block schedules if
they can make them cost the same as normal schedules.

|Association of exercise-induced hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia with MCT1-expressing insulinoma.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23073708 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Exercise-induced hyperinsulinism (EIHI) is a hypoglycaemic disorder characterised by inappropriate insulin secretion following anaerobic exercise or pyruvate load. Activating promoter mutations in the MCT1 gene (also known as SCLA16A1), coding for monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1), were shown to associate with EIHI. Recently, transgenic Mct1 expression in pancreatic beta cells was shown to introduce EIHI symptoms in mice. To date, MCT1 has not been demonstrated in insulin-producing cells from an EIHI patient. METHODS: In vivo insulin secretion was studied during an exercise test before and after the resection of an insulinoma. The presence of MCT1 was analysed using immunohistochemistry followed by laser scanning microscopy, western blot analysis and real-time RT-PCR of MCT1. The presence of MCT1 protein was analysed in four additional insulinoma patients. RESULTS: Clinical testing revealed massive insulin secretion induced by anaerobic exercise preoperatively, but not postoperatively. MCT1 protein was not detected in the patient's normal islets. In contrast, immunoreactivity was clearly observed in the insulinoma tissue. Western blot analysis and real-time RT-PCR showed a four- to fivefold increase in MCT1 in the insulinoma tissue of the EIHI patient compared with human pancreatic islets. MCT1 protein was detected in three of four additional insulinomas. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: We show for the first time that an MCT1-expressing insulinoma was associated with EIHI and that MCT1 might be present in most insulinomas. Our data suggest that MCT1 expression in human insulin-producing cells can lead to EIHI and warrant further studies on the role of MCT1 in human insulinoma patients.

Anyone who has stayed at a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotels is familiar with their signature complimentary chocolate chip cookies. DoubleTree hotels originally began serving their complimentary cookies for travelers in the 1980s, during a time in which most hotels across the nation only served them as treats for their VIP guests. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of their signature cookie, the hotel giant has organized a nationwide tour, the DoubleTree by Hilton Cookie CAREavan Tour, during which a custom-designed cookie truck will travel on a 10-week, 10,000 mile, 50-city journey to deliver thousands of cookies to guests across America. The tour officially kicked off on Thursday, May 26 in New York City and on Wednesday, June 15, the Cookie CAREavan bus will arrive in Tallahassee.
Since 1986, DoubleTree hotels have used the same secret cookie recipe, which is served to every guest who checks into one of the more than 250 DoubleTree hotels worldwidein fact, DoubleTree reportedly serves 60,000 chocolate chip cookies to guests per day.
In todays busy world, the little things can mean everything, and we feel that the simple act of kindness of a chocolate chip cookie can put a smile on a persons face anywhere and everywhere across America, said John Greenleaf, DoubleTree vice president of brand marketing in a press release. The DoubleTree by Hilton Cookie CAREavan is a great way for us to take our silver anniversary cookie celebration beyond our hotel doors, give back to the communities we proudly serve through our brands proud CARE Culture and encourage everyone to celebrate with us.
During the tour, guests will not only be able to receive a complimentary cookie, but can also participate in the CAREavan Sweepstakes to win prizes all summer. The tour is part of a special campaign, the Global Cookie CARE Campaign, designed by DoubleTree hotel to share their cookies at special events in major cities around the world.

'Axe party spin doctor posts'
Posted: February 13, 2014|
More than £100,000 could be saved by scrapping the roles of "Alistair Campbell-like" spin doctors at County Hall, according to UKIP.
The two strong UKIP group at Tory-run Leicestershire County Council has proposed axing the posts of political assistants.
The three largest parties at the authority – the Tories, Liberal Democrats and Labour – are entitled to have an assistant to conduct research and carry out administrative work on behalf of elected members.
However, UKIP has said their roles, which have a £107,000 annual budget, cannot be justified when the council is looking to save £110 million over the next four years and shed frontline staff.
UKIP does not qualify for a political assistant as it has fewer than five councillors.
Group leader David Sprason said: "I find it impossible to understand how the Conservative leadership can consider service reductions when they employ political spin doctors.
"When I talk to residents, they find it unbelievable their hard-earned taxes are going to fund an Alastair Campbell political position.
"It is time for the Conservative leadership to address this internal bureaucracy rather than cutting front-line services."
Council leader Nick Rushton said his party's political assistant, David Briscombe, was " an essential part of my team".
"He is above and beyond a political assistant. He has been invaluable to members of the group. The cost of him helps people get the most out of our administration," Councillor Rushton said.
Mr Briscombe said: "I would argue political assistants (PAs) are not spin doctors and, utilised properly, can save money for councils.
"Most PAs play a vital role in supporting their councillors to enable them to do a better job.
"This could be through research on national policy, helping better communication between chief officers and the administration or providing policy advice and support."
Liberal Democrat group leader Simon Galton said his group's political assistant, Daniel Henry, dealt with a huge number of e-mails and carried out important research.
He said: "With the amount of stuff that comes in, I would be worried I would miss something if he was not there.
"It's funny David Sprason is saying we should get rid of political assistants because when he was a Conservative cabinet member he relied heavily on David Briscombe."
Labour's political assistant, Chris Maughan, left last Wednesday at the end of his six-month probation period.
Labour group leader Max Hunt declined to comment on Mr Maughan's departure but said he would be prepared not to have a PA if the other parties gave up theirs.
He said: "It is hard to defend the cost. Political assistants are a legacy of (former council leader) David Parsons and it's ironic his old colleague David Sprason wants rid of them."
Mr Maughan said: "Last Wednesday, Max sent me an e-mail at 6am asking me to do a work plan for the week.
"At 3pm, I was called into the office and told I wasn't required any more.
"Personally, I couldn't disagree with getting rid of the posts. When we are firing social workers, how can you justify having three £30,000 political assistants?"

EDNA HILL, TEXAS. Edna Hill is on Farm Road 1702 nine miles south of Dublin in the southwestern corner of Erath County. The area was settled in the 1850s. By 1900 Edna Hill School was in operation there, and a cotton gin was located in the community soon thereafter. The school had three teachers and eighty-five pupils in 1935. In 1940 Edna Hill had a school, two churches, and scattered dwellings. The school was consolidated with the Dublin schools in the 1940s. The population of the community was estimated at thirty-two in 1966, and in 1979 Edna Hill had a church and scattered dwellings. The population was still estimated at thirty-two in 2000.

text: New Captain America Is Black Longtime Cap ally Sam Wilson takes over mantle By Kevin Spak, Newser User Posted Jul 17, 2014 7:30 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (76) (Newser) – There's a new Captain America, and he looks more like a whole different swath of Americans. Marvel has announced that a black hero—longtime Cap ally Sam Wilson, aka the Falcon—will be taking over his star-spangled mantle in Captain America #25, the New York Daily News reports. Classic Cap Steve Rogers has been looking for a replacement since being aged into a 90-year-old man in the current storyline (though, as IGN points out, truly plugged-in fans will have known the outcome of that search for a while, thanks to the solicitation for Avengers #35). Wilson will be familiar to moviegoers thanks to his appearance in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. "It's about time," Marvel Executive Editor Tom Brevoort said. "In 2014 this should be a thing that we shrug off, it shouldn't be seen as revolutionary, but it still feels exciting." The announcement comes just days after Marvel announced a new female Thor, and that's no accident, writes Andrew Wheeler at Comics Alliance. "These changes suggest an agenda," he writes. "I'd call it progressive agenda, but it's not. Putting women and people of color in key positions isn't progressive, it's just evidence that superhero comics are slowly catching up to the present day." The new Sam Wilson Captain America is seen in this Stuart Immonen illustration.

Shop safety Beyond maintaining the buses, having a facility that can properly accommodate alternative-fuel vehicles is another component to a safe environment for maintenance and transportation staff.
In the facility at Knight's operation, he says there's a tube that technicians hook up to the natural gas buses so that when they're working on the buses or the buses are going to stay in the shop all night, the gas is dispersed out of the fuel system, and it then dissipates into the air, so it won't leak into the shop.
"In our shop and in the office areas adjacent to the shop, we included CO, natural gas and carbon monoxide sensors, so if there's a leak, they detect it, and there's an audible alarm that goes off," Rineer says. "The sensors also activate our HVAC system, turning on the blowers, which evacuates the air in the garage, dispersing the gas out and into the air. The garage doors open as well."
For those operations with propane autogas buses that may not have a shop with a ventilation system, Kissel recommends rolling the vehicle out of the bay and working on it in an open space so that if the work involves exposing the fuel to the air, it has room to disperse.
"Don't do any work in the shop — like welding — that would cause a spark around the propane tank itself or around the fuel lines," Kissel adds.
Nathan Ediger, autogas sales manager for propane provider Ferrellgas, says that one of the most important factors in installing a fueling station is establishing the proper size and location of the equipment
What to consider with fueling stations If a school district or bus company operates alternative-fuel buses and the operation has a refueling station on site, officials say there will typically be barricades around the station to help prevent vehicles from hitting it.
Aside from this, Nathan Ediger, autogas sales manager for Ferrellgas, says that one of the most important factors in installing a propane fueling station is establishing the proper size and location of the equipment. He says that Ferrellgas performs site visits prior to every job to ensure that the company fully understands each school district's needs, and to view the space provided to accomplish their requests.
"We ask questions about future expansion and traffic patterns throughout the day," Ediger adds.
Clean Energy Fuels designs, builds, operates and maintains natural gas fueling stations. Corporate Safety Manager James Wright says that basic practices such as ensuring there's no smoking or sources of ignition around fueling tanks should be followed at all times.
"If an employee suspects a potential leak, an emergency shutdown device should be activated; these are located throughout each Clean Energy fueling station," he adds.Training resources Blue Bird's Roselli and Erin Lake, marketing communications manager, say that training is the "cornerstone of a successful transition to operating buses on propane autogas or CNG."
In addition to training available from its dealers, Blue Bird has a variety of informative videos and tutorials related to propane, including one from fueling system partner ROUSH CleanTech that shows how to properly fuel a propane autogas bus, another that shows the strength and safety of a propane tank, and a third with tips on how to effectively drive a propane bus.
To view these and other videos, visit Blue Bird's website here.
Factors to consider with electric busesNapa Valley USD's Ralph Knight says that the battery boxes for electric buses have 300 volts of power when they're charged, but when the buses are turned off, the power is shut off down to the battery pack, so there's no charge sitting in a line that could create a safety hazard.
"You always want to check it with a meter before you touch anything and take something apart," he notes.
In addition, he advises making sure that the power is off before you plug in the bus, and the bus should also be unplugged when it's off.
"That way both connectors are dead, so you have no power in your hands while you're plugging it in or unplugging it," Knight explains.
Training from the manufacturer is also important to help technicians understand how to handle the battery boxes when performing maintenance.

When Your Partner's Mother Dies: What to Do?
April 2, 2011 by Nicholl McGuire
Published in Motherhood
It's bound to happen to any of us, the death of a parent. So what do you do when the day comes that someone you love loses his or her mother? Article explains.
Everything seemed to be going well in your relationship until your partner lost his or her mother. Your mate may have been close to her while she lived, but then again maybe not. You hate to see your loved one grieve. You wish to take his or her pain away, but you know you can't. Your partner is hurting and there isn't much you can do but listen to him or her talk about his mother and try not to add any more drama to your partner's life. But what if he or she is the one creating the drama due to his or her mother's death? There are some things you can do to keep your own sanity during your loved one's time of loss.
Be your partner's rock, but not his or her punching bag.
If you are a believer, you will need God for this one. In the Bible, the Lord is referred to as a rock. He provides shelter from the storms of life, a stable foundation, protection from harm and many other "rock solid" blessings. So if you don't have a faith, then you will be trying to be all of these things to your mate in your human strength. Before long, you are worn out and irritable with everyone. Meanwhile, your partner or spouse may take out his or her grief on you. Your partner's fears of the future may turn into verbal boxing gloves designed to mentally and physically break you down. When this happens, for some women and men their efforts to help their mates through the grieving process will feel like "no good deed goes unpunished." Some will run for cover. Help might be found in a support circle, a book or CD about grief, or independent counseling. These are all good ways of trying to understand more about one's loss and how to cope through the process. But, others may find temporary relief in unhealthy ways such as: drinking, overeating, drugs, and cheating.
Avoid the temptation to worry.
Concerns about your mate's whereabouts will come up especially if one minute your partner is crying in the bedroom and the next minute he or she is going out the door without telling you where he or she is going. It's very tempting to call your partner up while he or she is out and ask about all sorts of "what if" scenarios that have been dancing around in your head in his or her absence. You might even think to call family and friends to keep up with your partner on a daily basis to calm your own fears, but don't do it. Allow your partner some breathing room. This person knows where home is and you should avoid jumping to conclusions. If you typically know where your partner goes when he or she wants to be alone and you know how long this person is usually gone, don't allow worry to add further stress to your relationship. Busy yourself. Allow your significant to come home with some information about his or her outing. Ask questions only if you know he or she is sober, gotten some rest and something to eat. Try not to badger your mate and keep the conversation brief.

The Eurosaf Women's Match Racing European Championship is being held from 11th to 15th September in Santander. The double round-robin is now complete and the semi-finalist are decided.
Race 1 - Eurosaf Women's Match Racing European Championship Day 4
Yesterday, Thursday, saw the completion of the round-robin used to find the semi-finalist in the Women's European Match Racing Championship. Julie Bossard from France, ranked 15th in the ISAF ranking list, crewed by the two Pauline's, Pauline Chalaux and Pauline Courtois, won eight of her ten races to finish at the top of the leader board. Caroline Sylvan, Sweden, ranked 40th, finished second, also with ten wins, but was placed second as she was beaten by Julie Bossard in both their races. Caroline is crewed by Louise Kruuse af Verchou and Frida Langenius. Third was Silvia Roca from Spain, the highest ranked sailor at 11th, crewed by Fátima Reyes and Lucia Reyes and fourth was Claire Lasko from the United Kingdom, crewed by Marianthe Evangelidis and Sophie Pearson. Claire and her crew are new to match racing, so has no ISAF ranking, but finished a creditable fourth by beating Aleksandra Reshetova from Russia, ranked 61st, in the second round-robin.
Today, Friday, will see the semi-finals competed between Silvia Roca (ESP) and Caroline Sylvan (SWE), and Claire Lasko (GBR) and Julie Bossard (FRA), in a best of five race series. There will also be a sail-off for fifth and sixth places between Aleksandra Reshetova (RUS) and Ascension Roca (ESP).
The final and petit-final, take place on Saturday 15th September.
Conditions in Santander on Thursday were ideal for match racing, with the wind coming from the North West at about 10 -12 knots. Eurosaf Vice-President and Event Director, Rafa Gonzalez, who is overseeing the racing on behalf of the Real Club Maritimo de Santander, said 'we are delighted at the way racing has progressed and are pleased to have completed the dual round-robin on schedule, so that we can move forward to the semi-finals today'.
Marco Predieri, Eurosaf President, said from his home in Italy, 'women's match racing is beginning a new phase in its development, now that it is no longer an Olympic discipline. Last year we had to have a qualification event in order to select the teams for the European Championship and this year we have had to work hard to encourage entries. Never-the-less, Eurosaf are determined this championship will remain firmly in the European calendar and we will do whatever is necessary to ensure it does. We have already agreed with the Polish Yachting Association that the event will be held in Gdynia in July next year, and we are now actively seeking hosts for 2014 and beyond.'
