It's the most wonderful time of the year...0 comments Posted by Emily at Wednesday, November 29, 2006
Well, Colin and I spent two and a half hours at the mall last night and bought zero presents. Neat. We still have ALOT to buy. I actually wrapped two presents today. I would have wrapped more but we have no gift boxes so we'll have to get some of those. You know, I saw on TV that the Spelling mansion has like 27 rooms including a gift wrapping room. The people on TV thought that was ridiculous but I think it's almost a necessity. I mean all my stuff is just sitting out right now and a gift wrapping room would make alot of sense. Hmmm...I guess I'll have to wait until after we build our indoor bowling alley.
We had a great thanksgiving and, of course, I took not one picture. But we still had a great time. There were alot of people staying at my parents house but I think that is what made it fun. Colin and I brought our nanny (or manny) , Aaron with us and he was a great help.
Well, Oklahoma, hunker down! Gary England says 5-10 inches of snow tonight. I would also like to give a shout out to Susan and Amber...I'm so glad ya'll are readers! Also, Michael, Cason does listen to NPR on occasion. He like anything where he thinks someone is talking to him!

Crawling?...nope0 comments Posted by Emily at Tuesday, November 21, 2006
Well, Cason is NOT crawling yet. Forwards anyway. He can crawl backwards, but what good does that do? He also rocks on all fours but that's been going on for about a month. Yesterday I asked him why he's not crawling yet and he said that he's been really struggling lately because I am putting alot of pressure on him. He also said that he puts too much pressure on himself because some of his friends are crawling and he isn't. I'm glad that we were able to have that talk.
We are leaving to go to Houston tomorrow for Thanksgiving. I think it's going to be quite a zoo because there are going to be so many people there (including dogs and babies). It's going to be really fun though. I can't wait. Hopefully, I'll take pictures to post.
Here's a book NOT to read: How Smart is Your Baby? by Glenn and Janet Doman. It will only make you think that your baby is mentally retarded because he or she wasn't reading Shel Silverstein poems outloud the week you brought them home from the hospital.

What's new?1 comments Posted by Emily at Monday, November 13, 2006
I changed the look of my blog. I thought my old one was slightly ghettoish and I like this one better. So, it's been good having Colin home more. If for no other reason than to engage in the occasional witty banter with someone. I did put him to work though. He built a new tv stand for our flat screen. The picture doesn't really do it justice though. The only drawback is that now you will need to contact NASA in order to operate our TV. It really is that complicated. We have six different remotes now. One is for the TV, one is for chaning channels, one is for volume, and that doesn't even count if we want to watch a video or DVD. For some reason, it wasn't this complicated when it was in our bedroom....
In other news, everyday when Cason eats lunch, I turn on the radio and we listen to Rush Limbaugh while I feed him. Today, I put Cason in his high chair and I said, "Are you ready to listen to Rush?" and he laughed really loud and started beating his tray. Future republican? I think so...I think so.
Aren't they cute?

Armegeddon is Coming0 comments Posted by Emily at Thursday, November 09, 2006
Faith Hill freaking out on TV, Brittney Spears and Kevin Federline getting a divorce and Donald Rumsfeld resigning.......aren't those the three signs of the Apocolypse?
P.S. I voted and it did no good...I think I'm disinfranchised.

bath buddies?0 comments Posted by Emily at Saturday, November 04, 2006
There are some (mom) who didn't not like the fact that Cason and Sunny were in the bath together. I thought it was funny. They're our two kids. She really likes him for some reason. He's already begun torturing her by grabbing her constantly in uncomfortable places like her ear and lip. I guess the payoff for Sunny is free snacks when Cason drops his rice cake or bagel on the ground. Chewed up mushy rice cake. Yum.

A little pea0 comments Posted by Emily at Thursday, November 02, 2006
So Cason had a pretty good first Halloween. His peapod costume was quite the hit, even if he didn't like it all that much. Here is an itenerary of this last weekend:
Friday night: Party at the Dacus house where Cason played with is friends Haley and Cooper and showed off his costume.
Saturday night: Trunk or Treat at Eastside Church of Christ (where Colin's parents go)
Sunday night: Fall Festival at Edmond Church of Christ
Monday: Cason was diagnosed with strep throat. It is very rare for a child this young to get it but Cason defied the odds and came down with a case.
Tuesday: Cason pooped on his halloween pajamas and we passed out candy to the masses.

220.127.116.11 kernelI have patched and compiled this kernel, plus all the 3rd-party modules.
I did start off trying to compile the 188.8.131.52 kernel, however the lzma patch and one of Lloyd's Multitech patches failed. As dogone said, the temptation is to put one's hand into the lolly jar, but in this case I got stopped right at the start. I then decided to back off from the bleeding edge.
This kernel has the patches as before: loglevel, squashfs, unionfs, aufs, lzma and multitech-gprs (in total, 10 patches).
All source files uploaded to Ted Dog's repo:
I have not yet compiled the SCSI and IDE kernels. I first want to bring out 4.1alpha6 and make sure that the kernel is basically ok, then I will compile the other variants. Temptestuous also will have to recompile the extra modules that he created for the 220.127.116.11 kernel -- thanks for your patience on that, tempestuous.
Comments:Posted on 11 Aug 2008, 21:33 by tempestuous
new kernel
Yeah, it's quite straightforward to compile those drivers again for 220.127.116.11.
I presume you may want to include at least some of those drivers in the 4.1 final release? The only ones I would recommend against are the ones which compete with, or overwrite, drivers already in Puppy.
I can provide the links to the various driver sources, or maybe just upload the sources myself - either to putrix or cb88's Sourceforge repository?
Regarding the 2.6.26 kernel; it's not unrealistic to predict that at least half of the new third-party modules under discussion here would fail to compile against this new kernel.
Posted on 11 Aug 2008, 21:51 by BarryK
do you have ftp access to puptrix.org? if so, upload them direct to there would probably be best.
Just upload whatever you think should be added to what I have already compiled, as you say, ones that won't clash. It's no problem for then, I can download them, compile and include them with the others.
Posted on 11 Aug 2008, 22:35 by Raffy
upload to sf
Uploading sources to sf.net will be OK - it is really intended for this purpose.
A kernel build for UMPCs will be good - they are becoming a large niche of single-processor mobile PCs.
Posted on 12 Aug 2008, 23:43 by tempestuous
new driver sources
Barry I haven't had a reply from Ted Dog about access to puptrix, and I find the Sourceforge repository confusing. So I have uploaded the new driver sources to Raffy's site as one large tarball.
Maybe you can copy this over to puptrix.
Raffy, later I will clean out some of the redundant stuff at your site.
I created a text file with notes about each source package. Of particular importance:
- The RT2860 and RT2870 sources need a configuration file modified to enable WPA support with the "wext" -D parameter in wpa_supplicant. This is important, as complaints on the forum are bound to result otherwise.
- Still on the subject of WPA support; wag-profiles.sh needs to be updated to accommodate the new wifi drivers. Specifically, the following modules need to be defined at line 134 as compatible with the "wext" parameter:
- The 4 new wifi drivers and 2 new ethernet drivers will need to be added to /etc/networkmodules.
Posted on 13 Aug 2008, 7:15 by BarryK
New drivers
thanks, I'm uploading them to puptrix right now.
I'll have a go at compiling them very soon.
As Raffy has requested, I also want to go through the entire kernel and modules compiling exercise again, with a "conservative" build.
One thing that surprised me, I downloaded about half a dozen '.config' files for the 2.6.24/25 kernel, all configured for SMP, to get some ideas what other distros are choosing, but none of them had "tickless" enabled. That surprised me -- is there some problem with tickless? Anyway, I decided why not do a "conservative" kernel with all older settings -- tickless disabled, uniprocessor, old IDE drivers ...and anything else we can think of. I will have to go through the exercise of recompiling all the 3rd party drivers. Then put this into Unleashed as an alternative choice.
If anyone has a thought about something else to enable/disable in the conservative kernel, let me know. I'll probably do it tonight, about 10 hours from now.
Posted on 13 Aug 2008, 17:13 by tempestuous
Yes, tickless is usually considered somewhat cutting-edge. I seem to recall that it's a prerequisite setting for a preemptive kernel.
I had always thought of Puppy's kernel as being neither conservative, nor cutting-edge, but "moderate". Now that we have discovered the "nosmp" trick, I'm surprised that a separate conservative kernel is
necessary. Can low-tech PC's not work OK just by booting with "nosmp"? My 10 year old Pentium2-350 is perfectly happy with the 220.127.116.11 kernel without any special boot options.
And if there is to be a separate conservative kernel, it raises the question about whether the non-conservative kernel might become freed up to move more towards true cutting-edge? By "cutting-edge" I
mean SMP + HyperThreading + Multicore + tickless + high timer frequency + full pre-emption.
Posted on 14 Aug 2008, 7:51 by dogone
two releases
I think the dual Puppy release idea is a good one in general. It provides for those who want/need a less "risky" release or one for cranky hardware while allowing those who wish to, to push the envelope. A "conservative" co-release also takes pressure off of Barry, permitting him to experiment with new ideas and newer technology without risk of loosing the ship.
I don't think we want anything to hold Barry and friends back. I say, adopt the dual release strategy and give our leader some leash! Given the freedom, Puppy will ultimately grow faster and stronger.

Immunotherapy for CancerSkip to the navigation
Immunotherapy is treatment that uses the body's own immune system to treat an illness. The immune system can be boosted, directed, or restored by different kinds of immunotherapy.
Immunotherapy is a type of biologic therapy, or biotherapy.
There are several types of immunotherapy used to treat cancer.
Biologics are medicines based on natural
proteins. These medicines include:
- Cytokines. These are proteins made by the immune system
to help cells communicate. Examples include:
- Interferons and interleukins, which kill cancer cells to slow the spread of disease or activate (wake up) the immune system to fight the disease.
- Colony-stimulating factors (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factors, or GM-CSF), which cause the bone marrow to make more immune system cells and blood cells.
- Monoclonal antibodies. This type of medicine finds a certain protein on the surface of some cells and locks onto it (like a key in a lock). This may then trigger the body's immune system to attack and destroy those cells. Monoclonal antibodies are used to treat cancers such as lymphoma.
- Cytokines. These are proteins made by the immune system to help cells communicate. Examples include:
Vaccines help the body's immune system find and
attack cancer cells. They may be used to treat people who already have cancer,
such as with bladder cancer or prostate cancer. Or they may be used to protect
people from getting some forms of cancer. Examples include the following:
- Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, which protects against common types of HPV that cause cervical cancer.
- Bacillus Calmette-Guerin, or BCG. This vaccine against tuberculosis is useful for treating primary bladder cancer. When BCG is infused into the bladder, the body's immune system responds by attacking the cancer cells.
- Sipuleucel-T (Provenge). This vaccine is used for advanced prostate cancer. A man's own cells are treated in a lab and given back to him to help his immune system fight the cancer.

DALLAS -- "Vanishing act." "Checked out." "Wilted." "Struggled."
"Choke job."
Miami players were having none of it on Wednesday at practice as they tried in vain to get the media off its bloodhunt following what many, including myself, would call "the worst game I've ever seen LeBron James play."
James was shut down, shut out, beaten out, beaten down, smothered, covered, grilled and flat-out annihilated against a defense from Dallas that was simply as committed as you can get to shutting down one player. From the man defense attacking his dribble and guiding him into help to the help defense pushing him out to the perimeter and forcing turnovers to the weakside rotations swatting at his dribble, James was simply put in lockdown. But his teammates were emphatic that James is unaffected by his struggles and that if you want to point a finger for his struggles, point it at them.
"I, myself, need some of the blame," Udonis Haslem said Wednesday afternoon. "He's finding guys for open shots. We've got to knock them down. If we knock them down, it's a different series possibly. Some of this criticism has to go to us, not just him. He's a great player. He's getting guys open shots. We've got to make them."
Haslem pointed to one particular shot he had that would have put the Heat up late that he missed baseline. Mike Miller, though, made it clear that the team isn't rattled by another late collapse.
"We're still standing."
Miller was emphatic about defending James' decision-making, calling him "the best player in the world for a reason."
"He sees things better than anyone. If that's what he sees, he's got to make the pass," Miller said.
Miller also wasn't worried about how his superstar would respond in a crucial Game 5 in yet another bounceback opportunity for the Heat. He says they're not surprised at the criticism of James, but the Heat are also not worried about it.
"That's how it always is. You lose, the world's coming to end. You win, you're the greatest. LeBron's fine. He's the best player in the world."
James himself simply chalked it up to being "mental." He said he has to be more aggressive, predictably, and talked about rhythm. He made it clear that if the double comes, he's going to keep sending the ball out to open teammates. That's the play to make, and he says he'll do it.
But is that really what should happen? At some point, James has to make them pay with his athleticism and scoring ability. To do that he's going to have to split the two defenders off the pick and roll. James has been rolling away and then trying to jump-pass, which resulted in a crucial turnover late in Game 4. Mario Chalmers told reporters that on the pick and roll the Heat have to stop "jumping and waiting for someone to pass to."
But lost in all the talk of dramatic ideas like "wilting" and "aggressiveness" was something that Coach Erik Spoelstra quietly slipped into his comments.
"The last thing would be that the ball has to move. And sometimes he can get involved from execution, other guys being aggressive, and he's off the ball and impacting in different ways. So we anticipate it will be different tomorrow night."
That's a very quiet way of indicating that James might not be the primary ball-handler as he was in Game 4 along with Wade. It's a pretty smart concept. They can't double him all the time if he doesn't have the ball all the time. With Wade being a good enough distributor, Chris Bosh passing well, and even Mario Chalmers playing well and making good decisions, that could be a huge adjustment for the Heat. And not just by capitalizing on James' extraordinary gifts off-ball in terms of athleticism and catch-and-shoot, but to avoid a serious problem that's developed for Miami. The clock.
When James runs point, as he often did in the fourth quarter of Game 4, the Mavericks have employed an unusual, if logical, strategy. They're putting a world of pressure on the ball. They have gone so far throughout this series as to toss a full-court press at James. A full-court press. In the NBA Finals. And it's worked. When James does reach half-court with the press broken, it's job done in just etching off a few seconds from the clock, the Mavs are bodying him, just bumping him slightly. Shawn Marion acknowledged that it's an effort the Mavs are deploying on James to get the clock run down.
"It's not about (bodying him)," Marion said. "It's just about trying to take time off the clock. It's just trying to get a little advantage by getting them down in the clock running their sets."
The result is the Heat trying to run sets with 14 seconds or less on the clock, sometimes less than 10. That leads to what Mike Miller called "9-1-1 plays," which lead to shot-clock violations and turnovers. Moving LeBron off-ball might improve that considerably.
In the end it will be on James, though. His teammates can defend him. His coaches can make adjustments. He can talk about his defensive efforts and making the right play. But James will have to dictate what direction his legacy goes in this series.

NBA Finals: LeBron's teammates step in for him
The analysis of what is happening to James seems right on; although, there is one thing I can't understand about last night. When James brought the ball up, the primary defender when he got over the half court line was usually about half a foot smaller than him. I was seeing Jason Kidd or Jason Terry almost every posession. Why in the world couldn't James simply jump shoot over them for easy baskets? Why couldnt he drive on the slow Jason Kidd? Even without jumping he could elevate over those two. No, something was clearly wrong with James mental attitude last night.

Iron Man to take new stanceVulcan to be turned to 1904 display angle
Vulcan's posterior, long known as "the moon over Homewood," is being turned slightly to give downtown Homewood a less cheeky vista.
The pieces containing Vulcan's backside are to be placed on the leg and thigh sections today. Robinson Iron Corp. placed the other pieces on the pedestal Tuesday. Workers will place the two segments that make up the anvil block, followed by the section that includes the buttocks.
It is that anvil block that created Vulcan's new stance, not political pressure from Homewood officials upset over getting the raw end of an icon.
"We wanted to better situate the statue on the pedestal the way he was turned in 1904 at the (St. Louis) World's Fair," said Katherine Billmeier, executive director of the Vulcan Park Foundation. "To do that, the anvil base needed to be next to the hip of the statue, not behind him."
When Vulcan was first placed on top of the pedestal in 1937, the anvil was placed on the base backward from the way it was in the original design. The anvil was too far behind the statue, causing Vulcan's left hand and the hammer in it to be positioned awkwardly.
A rotation clockwise on the pedestal made room for the anvil base, anvil and arm with hammer to look as it did in the original design.
"What we did was rotate him a little bit to the east, I think around 15 degrees," said Scott Howell, president of Robinson Iron. "This will allow us to go back to the original configuration of the anvil and the hammer."
To make room on the pedestal for that move, 46 new anchor bolts were installed to line up with the feet of the statue. Those feet were guided onto those bolts Tuesday as the bottom pieces of the statue were placed.
"Everything went smooth as possible putting the feet on those bolts," Howell said. Lining up the 23 holes in each foot with the corresponding bolts 124 feet up was always viewed as the trickiest part of the operation.
Today, the 250-ton crane will bring up the rear.
Homewood Mayor Barry McCulley expressed initial disbelief Tuesday, then laughed at the prospect of a new Vulcan perspective.
He said Homewood hadn't lobbied for the new view.
"I think the people of Homewood would appreciate the reorientation," McCulley said. "It would be nice to see Vulcan's profile."
Just how much less heinie will be shiny over Homewood will not be known for certain until the derriere is deployed.
"Hopefully we'll know the answer after tomorrow," Howell said. News staff writer Patrick Hickerson contributed to this report.

Shadow of Olympics Evictions Looms Over Tokyo

While many people in Japan are happy with the country's results of the Sochi Winter Olympics – notably, Ayumu Hirano, the youngest medal winner on the snowboard half pipe and Yuzuru Hanyu, Japan's first Olympic gold in men's figure skating, just to name a few – there are some who are speaking out against the Olympics, present and future.
Given some tens of billions of dollars are used to host the international sporting event, the Olympics are never without criticism. At the opening ceremony for the Sochi Olympics, courtesy of the so called "anti-gay propaganda" law that Russia passed last year, the US President Barack Obama, UK Prime Minister David Cameron, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel were among those absent [2] [en]. Human Rights Watch has been urging the International Olympics Committee [3] [en] to investigate over non-payment of compensations for construction workers for Sochi game-related facilities. Animal rights groups are anxious that the stray dogs swept out of Sochi would be killed [4] [en].
But Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe attended. Yuji Kitamaru, a Japanese columnist in New York, referred to the lack of human rights awareness in not just the leader, but its citizen:
— 北丸雄二 (@quitamarco) February 4, 2014 [5]
The reason why all the European leaders being absent at the Sochi Olympics opening ceremony was because of an overwhelming domestic pressure to increase pressure on Russia, rather than the leaders themselves putting pressure on Russia. This is domestic politics rather than a diplomatic move. Abe was able to attend not just because of his lack of awareness of human rights, but also because there is a lack of human rights pressure in Japanese public opinion.
The lesser known problem may be the history of Sochi [6] [en]. The Circassian people has demanded [6] [en] that the Russian government acknowledges the 19th-century Muhajir [7] [en] (Circassian Genocide), during which about 90 percent of the local Circassian population was killed or displaced by Tsar Alexander II. "NoSochi2014 [8]" is a website created to put more pressure on the Russian government and to gather support for the cause.
Japanese anti-Olympics group "Hangorin-no-kai [9]" showed their solidarity with NoSochi2014 and published a message on Facebook [9][en/ja] declaring that they do not welcome 2020 Tokyo Olympics for the forced evictions it may cause:
To the people around the globe fighting against the 2014 Sochi Olympics, we send you a message of solidarity from Tokyo, the host city of the 2020 Summer Olympic Games.
We understand that Sochi 2014 is being held on a land where Circassian people were massacred by the Russian Empire, and today Russia is running the games on the biggest budget in the history of the Olympics.
We also recognize that for the Olympics development, more than 2000 people were displaced from their homes and extreme levels of environmental destruction were brought to the land.
Here in Tokyo the unnecessary redevelopment for the 2020 Olympics has already started with evictions of low-income populations from their homes.
The radioactive contamination by the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster is nowhere near stabilisation, let alone "under control" as Prime Minister Abe proudly announced to the IOC.
Tokyo is only swimming in the cloud of an illusion, while the people in Fukushima and many nameless radiation-exposed workers at the power plant are left without sufficient support from the state.
The Olympics is nothing but a nightmare.
What is happening in Sochi today, is what might happen to us in 6 years.
The concerns of the group are the evictions that often take place before hosting large international events. There have been cases where homeless people staying in public parks were forcefully moved out of their tents when big events took place nearby.
The group mentioned [10] [ja] past examples on Twitter: Before the 2002 FIFA World Cup and the 2007 World Athletics Championships, homeless people squatting at Osaka's Nagai Park [ja] [11]were forcefully evicted. Prior to the Aichi World Expo, tents of homeless people in Nagoya city's Shirokawa Park [12] [ja] were forcefully removed. And, evictions in Tokyo already started in early March last year with tents and belongings of the homeless forcefully removed [13] when an International Olympic Committee inspection group visited Tokyo.
Eviction is not only for people squatting in public parks. According to AFP [15] [ja], about 2,000 households at the Kasumigaoka public housing apartment in Shinjuku, Tokyo are facing eviction. Most of the residents are elderly.
A blogger named "定年おじさんのつぶやき", which translates to "Blurbs of a Retired Old Man" wrote about [16] the shadows of the Olympics:
When Tokyo hosted the Olympics for the first time [in 1964], it was a great milestone to show off to the world that Japan has grown into a developed country thanks to economic growth.
But a grand occasion in the spotlight often comes with sacrifices.
Through the ages, an act of development always was followed by destruction of nature and environment.
War is the biggest, worst example of destruction that does not generate anything good, but when it comes to a good reason like the Olympics, it's hard to speak against it.
Especially marginalized people can never go against the orders of authorities.
Fifty-four years ago, Tokyo began reconstruction on old housing prior to the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. People who had been asked to leave their old houses were moved to a newly built apartment building.
But that apartment building, now 50 years old, and its old residents face another eviction for the 2020 Olympics.
For Kohei Jinno, a 79-year-old resident of the Kasumigaoka apartment building, it's his second time facing eviction because of the Olympics. According to Japan Times [17] [en], his home and business were torn down to make way for an Olympic park around the main stadium for the Tokyo Games in 1964. Now he has been told he must move again to make way for the stadium's redevelopment and expansion in time for 2020.
Unlike the anti-Olympics group "Hangorin-no kai", most people in Japan are not against hosting the games themselves, but some are against tearing down the existing stadium to build a new, larger one.
A YouTube video made by architect Ken Aoki using Google Earth shows a 3D model based on information made public in March 2013 of the new national stadium:
Edward Suzuki [18], a Japanese architect, suggested on his blog fixing up the already existing national stadium rather than simply building a new one and called on people to join the campaign on online petition platform Change.org. The petition "Saving Meijijingu Gaien and National Stadium for Future Generations [19] (unofficial translation) argues that throwing large amount of taxes away to build a new giant stadium which would be too huge, raising issues with emergency guidance and risk management in the event of disaster, will only prevent recovery efforts for areas affected by the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami of 2011 and will destroy the city's scenery, such as Ginkgo trees and the blue sky. All this, the petition warns, will become a burden for future generations.
With the city headed toward a development push for the Olympics, Twitter user Nakajimayuki commented on the role of citizens:
— nakajimamiyuki (@nakajimamiyuki) February 10, 2014 [20]
Tokyo residents, as the leading actors for the city, must stay strong and pay close attention to this massive change that Tokyo will go through "for the 2020 Olympics", not just the plan to rebuild a new stadium, so that such development will not proceed in an non-transparent way.

The Domino's location at 28 West Blackwell Street in Dover, NJ has completed the most energy efficient restaurant lighting retrofit in the world, according to Vanguard Energy Services NJ and Independence LED.
The title was previously held by Applebee's in Newtown, PA.
Typically, 2- by 4- foot fluorescent troffer fixtures include four 32 watt tubes. Domino's increased energy efficiency by installing LEDs that use only 50 watts per fixture. For future energy efficient projects, Domino's will utilize LEDs that use 44 watts per fixture.

Glam It Up For the Holidays
The holidays are fast approaching which means it's time to glimmer, shine, and shimmer. With the holiday party invitations already beginning to roll in, we're sharing our picks for this holiday season's hottest trends to ensure you look elegant and festive, party after party:
Glittery Makeup
Tis' the season to break out some sassy and playful holiday makeup – glittery lips, metallic eyes, and luminescent skin all send us into fits of twinkling delight this time of year. We love the smoky eye look for a party, and lining your eyes with a thin sweep of glitter shadow on the upper and lower rims of eye is sure to make your eyes twinkle.
Holiday Updos
Sweep hair up for a dose of instant drama and feminine flair for all your holiday festivities. An updo is a great way to accentuate your neckline and show off your favorite pair of sparkly earrings.
The perfect party dress
Glam it up for the holidays in a glittering sequin dress. This season is all about all things that sparkle, and this pick is sure to dazzle, thanks to its chic, swingy silhouette and the sequins adorning the bodice.
Make the most of your holidays with the season's most festive accents. Accessories can help you complete the look at create the perfect ensemble for any event. So be sure to incorporate a lot of metallic tones and sparkle into your shoes, jewelry and other accessories.

Summer's Hottest Accessories
It's starting to heat up outside and the layers are coming off. But how do you stay stylish when all you want to wear each day are shorts and tank tops? Accessories. Hats, shoes, jewelry, and sunglasses are fun and easy ways to make otherwise simple outfits stand out. Here are our picks for summer's hottest accessories.
Wide-brimmed hats
Wide-brimmed, floppy hats are total statement pieces, and they have the added benefit of shielding your face from harmful UV rays. We like this simple, black hat from Zara, but a classic straw shade is great, too. Pair your hat with a maxi dress or some short shorts and strappy sandals, or bring it with you to the beach.
Sunglasses are the most obvious summer accessory, but styles come and go with the years. Stick to a classic shape that fits your face shape and you'll be able to wear them dressed up or down. We love the TOMS eyewear line because it's simple and classic with a unique touch of color, but also gives you the opportunity to help someone in need. With every pair you purchase, TOMS will help give sight to a person in need.
Colorful Wedges
Wedges are the perfect summer shoe. Comfortable, easy to wear day or night, and fun—we can't get enough of them. We love these Kelly green Santa Monica Pier Wedges from ModCloth because the color is on-trend and attention-grabbing. Ankle-strap platforms are another fun trend this summer – check out this list from Lucky to find a pair that you like.
Nothing will dress up a plain t-shirt faster than a bold, brightly-colored necklace like this J.Crew Bubble Necklace. This season is all about neon, so be bold and embrace lively colors. You'll shine even brighter in the sun!
Balance out a flowing white blouse or a little white dress with a few stacked wooden bracelets on your wrists. Wooden jewelry gives your style a natural, organic feel but still stands out. It's also more comfortable in the hot sun than metal! Check out Good Housekeeping's picks for some great, affordable options.
Add a burst of color to your outfit—and emphasize your womanly figure—with a summery leather belt. We love J. Crew's neon skinny belts!
Which summer accessories are you dying to get your hands on? Did we forget any major looks?
Spring Trend: The Return of the Fanny Pack or "Belted Purse"
Looks like the fanny pack has had a glamorous makeover for Spring 2011! Belted purses are speculated to be a big hit this Spring with launches by high end brands such as Hermes, Pucci and Diane Von Furstenberg. Although this may free up our hands and arms while shopping or on the dance floor, what do you think of this new Spring trend- a hit or a miss?

PSM3 Magazine UKA must download. Excellent fun, all in all. [Dec 2007, p.84]
games(TM)PixelJunk Racers is perhaps the most unlikely sort of game to appear on the boastfully next-gen PS3 but that also makes it one of the most enjoyable titles on the system. [Dec 2007, p.116]
Play UKThe real bonus is the range of race types available. [Issue#160, p.96]
PixelJunk Racers' virtual slot cars are fun in groups of people, but without online multiplayer, you'll get tired quickly if you're playing alone.
PixelJunk Racers is a nice game, that can be seen either as a lost opportunity, or a little good idea.
Before too long though, it's a bit too easy to find yourself growing tired of the sheer volume of other cars to bash into and the constant eyeball-gymnastics required to track your lanes. There's a surprising amount of skill involved with doing well in many of these events, so the faint-hearted will grow weary too soon.
PixelJunk Racers isn't a bad game, it's just prohibitively difficult, so much so that it's actually a turn-off.
Hardcore GamerThe many creative modes don't make up for the simplistic gameplay, though, leaving PixelJunk Racers feeling bland and forgettable. [Nov 2007, p.67]
An intrinsically bland concept keeps this game from becoming a truly enjoyable hit, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's terrible. We had a few good times with PixelJunk Racers (especially the confusion of trying to figure out seven different people playing seven different colors), but you may be better off passing on this one.
Playstation Official Magazine UKEven in 1080p it's excruciatingly tricky to tell which lane you're in, leading to a lot of unnecessary collisions. [Dec 2007, p.113]
PixelJunk Racers is a basic game, not basic in the sense that it's easy to pick the game up (but it is) but basic in the sense that the game can be a little bit too boring.
Multiplayer is certainly better than single-player (the more people, the better), but it suffers from the same pileups and limited variety. Considering how impractical it is to set up a full multiplayer game offline, it's ridiculous that the game's only online feature is comparing scores and leaderboards.

The difficulty is a bit high in single player and requires very sharp reflexes to do well, but play it for a while and you'll understand what it's all about. The game supports up to 7 players in multiplayer, which is where the game really comes alive. Fireball racer with 3 or 4 other players is an experience not to be missed - it's just a shame that with the simple controls there is no option to have two players on one pad like Micro Machines for the Megadrive. PS3 controllers are expensive! A nice little game that fans of high speed twitch action should enjoy. Due to the low price point and uniqueness of the gameplay I highly recommend it.… Full Review »

Verna Cope of Dennison held on to a letter dated Dec. 23, 1942, until she died in 1964. The letter, from Rose Rayl, gives thanks for a care package Cope gave Rayl's son, Sgt. John Rayl of Kokomo, Ind., during a stop at the Dennison Depot during World War II.
On a cold December day in 1942, Verna Cope handed a box filled with food to a soldier who had stopped at the Dennison Depot on his way home to visit his parents in Indiana.
Volunteers working for the Salvation Army Servicemen's Canteen during World War II weren't supposed to put their names and addresses in the boxes they handed out, but Cope, a Dennison resident, did anyway.
"She did it just to let these men know that they were being thought of by more than their own families," said Cope's granddaughter, Kathy Manners of Eatonton, Ga. "She wanted them to know that other people were thinking and praying for them."
Cope's simple act of kindness to Sgt. John Rayl of Kokomo, Ind., meant so much to his mother, Rose, that she felt compelled to write a letter of thanks.
"Just a mother wanting to say thanks for your kindness to her boy," the letter, dated Dec. 23, 1942, said. "He was so very grateful for the box received in Dennison, Ohio. You see he was on his way home for a few days after a year of absence and it was a wonderful Christmas gift.
"This time he will be on his way over somewhere, and all us mothers can do is ask God to watch over them. We have five sons in the service. Our oldest is missing on Bataan, but we still have hope. I want to thank you again and keep up the good work. It is a grand feeling to know you have made a soldier happy and Heaven will bless you a thousand fold."
Cope kept the letter for the rest of her life.
"She was just so moved by this mother's reaching out and thanking her," her granddaughter said. "Finding out that this woman had five sons fighting, she couldn't get over that."
Manners has decided to donate the original letter to the Dennison Railroad Depot Museum for its collection on the Servicemen's Canteen. The canteen, staffed by 4,000 volunteers from Tuscarawas and seven other counties, provided free food to 1.3 million servicemen during World War II.
Her granddaughter described Cope as a wonderful cook who sang hymns around the house and loved people. She worked at the canteen for all four years of its existence. "She knew what the country was going through, and she felt compelled to help in any way she could," Manners said.
Verna and her husband, Tom, had no sons of their own, but their son-in-law, William McGarry, was in the Marines during the war.
Their only child, Vivian, was a canteen volunteer and a real life "Rosie the Riveter." Manners said her mother helped build parts for B24 bombers at a Goodyear plant in Uhrichsville.
Page 2 of 2 - Verna Cope died in 1964.
As for the Rayl family, all five of Rose's sons made it through the war, including her oldest, Lewis, who survived the infamous Bataan Death March in the Philippines and 43 months of captivity in Japanese prison camps.
Manners will be dropping off her grandmother's letter when she and her husband, Chris, come to Ohio later this month for the arrival of their fourth grandchild.
Wendy Zucal, executive director of the depot, said the museum has brochures and statistics from the canteen, but few — if any — original letters from people who interacted with canteen volunteers.
"It's nice to get an original letter," she said. If anyone else has such documents, Zucal urged them to consider donating them to the museum.

Today's Tournament You Could Win Cash Tonight!
Sunken Treasures: Gems of Atlantis
Paradise Found - - Dive In!
It's sink or swim when you dive into the gem-matching mania of this underwater adventure!
Dive in Now!
If biking, running or hiking doesn't hold the sort of thrill you're looking for, consider going cave diving! Also known as spelunking, this unique sport requires preparation and the proper gear. Read more to find out what you need for cave exploration.
Why spelunking?
Spelunking, more commonly known as "caving," is an uncommon activity to do while on vacation and a fun way to get you, your family or your friends to go outside. Given the amount of cave paintings and artifacts that are found in caves, it's a perfect expedition for any history buff. And between calcium deposits, wildlife and speleothems it's an exciting adventure for anyone interested in natural science or preservation.
Choose a cave
The most important part of choosing a cave is determining the level of difficulty that you're capable of. Caving expeditions vary widely, making it perfect for anyone who wants to give it a try. Consider the following things: Is this a family activity? How young are your children? Have you gone spelunking before? Is this a nearby cave or a vacation adventure? While caving might seem too dangerous for kids, children ages 8 and up will enjoy the experience. There are plenty of very safe guided tours that follow paths and can be used as an educational experience. If you're going on your own, it's recommended to find a guided tour for beginners. Smaller groups are best (four to six people), and caving by yourself allows you to go cave diving in the region of your choice. Your second or third time spelunking could be on a self tour. Self tours are led by man made paths and signs, and are usually safer than tours. Tours range in price and length, from one-hour adventures to expeditions that last for days.
You should do plenty of research to determine whether your chosen cave is historical, advanced or underwater. You can look on the National Speleological Society website or on the National Caves Association site for more information on specific caves.
Get your equipment
In order to cave dive safely, it's important to gather the proper equipment beforehand and to make sure that it's up to code. You ought to bring three working lamps, one of which should be a head lamp. It's not a bad idea to bring a backup, or at least extra light bulbs and the compatible batteries. The helmet that you use should be up to the standards outlined on the National Caves Association website. Be sure that your helmet fits properly and will stay on while in motion.
Two more essential pieces of equipment are rope and a compatible harness. Avoid ordering equipment online, as input from salespeople is vital, and you should try on the gear before purchasing it.
Depending on what cave and tour you've chosen, you may need waterproof clothing, food or scuba gear. Never go spelunking in an underwater cave without the appropriate training. Find out what climate the cave is in, taking note of the season and the fact that you won't be getting much sun. All caves are damp, so keep this in mind when choosing clothing. Regardless of what trip you've chosen, you should always bring plenty of water and a waterproof and uncrushable pack for valuables and food. Since caves are such a unique environment, you should consider bringing a disposable and waterproof camera.
For further caving
Both of the aforementioned websites have information on more advanced spelunking. If you feel as though you've mastered the basics of caving, try getting certified for underwater spelunking.

Editor's Note: This version corrects the original editorial which implied that physicist Stephen Hawking, a professor at the University of Cambridge, did not live in the UK.
Rationing: In the recesses of the House health care "reform" bill is a provision for end-of-life counseling for seniors. Don't worry, granny, they're from the government and they're here to help.
At a town hall meeting at AARP headquarters in Washington, D.C., President Obama was asked by a woman from North Carolina if it was true "that everyone that's Medicare age will be visited and told they have to decide how they wish to die."
At first, the president joked that not enough government workers existed to ask the elderly how they wanted to die. The idea, he said, was to encourage the use of living wills and that critics were misrepresenting the intent of the "end of life" counseling provided for in the House bill. He did not say, "No, they wouldn't be contacted."
This administration, pledging to cut medical costs and for which "cost-effectiveness" is a new mantra, knows that a quarter of Medicare spending is made in a patient's final year of life. Certainly the British were aware when they nationalized their medical system.
The controlling of medical costs in countries such as Britain through rationing, and the health consequences thereof are legendary. The stories of people dying on a waiting list or being denied altogether read like a horror movie script.
The U.K.'s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) basically figures out who deserves treatment by using a cost-utility analysis based on the "quality adjusted life year."
One year in perfect health gets you one point. Deductions are taken for blindness, for being in a wheelchair and so on.
The more points you have, the more your life is considered worth saving, and the likelier you are to get care.
The British are praised for spending half as much per capita on medical care. How they do it is another matter. The NICE people say that Britain cannot afford to spend $20,000 to extend a life by six months. So if care will cost $1 more, you get to curl up in a corner and die.
In March, NICE ruled against the use of two drugs, Lapatinib and Sutent, that prolong the life of those with certain forms of breast and stomach cancer.
The British have succeeded in putting a price tag on human life, as we are about to.

Forget the 'tax the rich' Buffett rule.
The government must enact the Sandy rule. Now.
The Sandy rule says simply: "Protect our families and businesses that sit in the direct path of hurricanes, with levees, dams, bulwarks and floodgates, so people don't die, so America doesn't look like Venice, and so our fuel terminals for oil and gasoline, our electric grid, and our roads, bridges, trains and subways don't ever get flooded again."
Insurance industry studies show that since 1980, hurricanes are picking up in frequency and intensity, and no I don't believe in Mars wobbles. Glaciers are melting and sea levels are rising.
But here in New York City, for years taxpayers have seen big nanny state distractions like Mayor Mike Bloomberg's ban on big sodas or rules for breast feeding rather than baby formulas, as well as creating bike lanes on city avenues, or rules banning trans fats or salt in foods.
All distractions, when instead all mayors and governors of cities and states on U.S. coasts must protect families and businesses from getting wiped out by hurricanes. Now.

MANSFIELD - State-ranked Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary and 6-foot-7 super soph VJ King come to Pete Henry Gym on Saturday night, where an angry horde of Mansfield Senior Tygers will be waiting for them.
Maybe the Tygers got caught waiting for SVSM early Friday night, which would explain why they're angry now.
It might be easy to shoot holes through the theory that Senior High was looking ahead, since it was ahead after one period Friday. But not as easy as it was for Orrville to shoot holes through the Tygers' defense in a 25-point second quarter that led to an upset 55-54 victory. ...

I can't believe it's almost been a week since IMATS LA! It feels like it was just yesterday! I had such an amazing time… it was my first time in LA, and I was able to go down with my good friends Stacey Brennan, Rica & Pascale. While it was really big, it wasn't as overwhelming as I thought it would be (it really just felt like a larger version of IMATS Toronto).
We were able to stop by the Pasadena Convention Center on the Friday evening before the show to pick up our passes, so we didn't have to wait in any lines the morning of the show (best decision ever). There were so many vendors with amazing discounts, I highly recommend checking it out if you're able to make it next year!
I also met so many amazing people- other bloggers, YouTubers, brands, followers, etc. It was an awesome experience and totally worth it! I'll do another post soon showing all the goodies I picked up- but until then, enjoy these photos from the show!
I also attended the Sigma Beauty VIP Party after the event, and I didn't take many photos but I did manage to snap some. I got picked up in this gorgeous white stretch Escalade limo and arrived at the cute champagne & dessert bar with a bunch of other YouTubers and bloggers.
We got to mingle and learn about their new Brow kit (which you'll be seeing very soon)- I had a fantastic time!

An Enterprise day-care owner charged with first-degree assault will have to wait at least 6 more weeks before appearing in District Court. Judge Paul Sherling postponed the preliminary hearing for Julie Watkins until mid-October.
Authorities say Watkins was responsible for the injuries of a 5-month-old child, in what is called "shaken baby syndrome." The extent of the infant's injuries has not been released. Watkins claimed the baby had fallen off a bed at her "Tweet Tarts" daycare, which she operated out of her house. She remains out of jail on a $20,000 bond.

Cody Zeller scored 19 points and Victor Oladipo had 15, leading No. 3 Indiana to an 81-73 victory over No. 1 Michigan on Saturday night.
It's the third time in school history the Hoosiers (20-2, 8-1 Big Ten) have beaten the No. 1 team at home, and it's the first time they've done it in back-to-back seasons. The win gives Indiana sole possession of the Big Ten lead and likely the No. 1 ranking it held for the first seven weeks this season when the new poll comes out Monday.
In addition to Michigan's defeat, No. 2 Kansas lost 85-80 to Oklahoma State.
The Wolverines (20-2, 7-2) were led by Trey Burke with 25 points and Tim Hardaway Jr. with 18, but they couldn't extend their four-game winning streak.
Indiana took an early 20-7 lead and Michigan tied it only one time after that, at 40. The Hoosiers put it away with a late 7-2 run.
No. 3 Indiana beats No. 1 Michigan
Indiana 81, Michigan 73
Cody Zeller scored 19 points and Victor Oladipo had 15, leading No. 3 Indiana to an 81-73 victory over No. 1 Michigan on Saturday night.

|A re-examination of the benefits of exercise for state body satisfaction: Consideration of individual difference factors.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23205575 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Abstract Although the link between exercise and body image is well documented, the considerable inter-individual variability in this relationship has been largely ignored. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to test the contributions of key body image and exercise-related moderators (age, body mass index (BMI), exercise frequency, trait body dissatisfaction, internalisation of appearance standards, and body surveillance tendencies) in predicting variability in the exercise-body satisfaction relationship. Thirty-seven undergraduate women completed a questionnaire containing the above trait-based measures and then carried a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) for a 7-day period. Participants were instructed to use the PDA to self-report their state body satisfaction immediately following an exercise session and also when the PDA signalled at each of six random intervals throughout the day. Multilevel modelling revealed a bi-directional relationship between exercise and state body satisfaction. Moreover, post-exercise increases in state body satisfaction were strongest for individuals who were younger and engaged in regular exercise, and weakest for individuals with high BMI and/or the tendency to compare their appearance with others. These findings highlight potential limits on the efficacy of exercise-based therapy for body image disturbances.

Review of 9384
The video provided a lot of very useful information. It talks about numerous types of materials needed and requires one to take many notes to obtain enough info to shop for items needed for your project. Some written documentation would have been helpful and enhanced the learning experience from the video.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - Springfield police are cracking down on aggressive panhandlers asking for cash along the city's streets. Police officers received complaints about homeless people panhandling at locations throughout the city. On Monday, officers responded to those complaints by citing and arresting violators. They made numerous arrests at Kearney and U.S. 65, Kearney and Glenstone, Kansas Expressway and I-44.
Larry Wells carries a sign that says "homeless with Jesus." He says people often stop at intersections to give him money. "I have people stop and say 'I love your sign, here,'" Wells said. The homeless man says he is heading west. "I don't want to do this. My mother would roll over in her grave if she saw me but I'm going to eat and I'm not going to steal," Wells said. "What's left? It's a job you stand there with a sign."
Because of complaints, officers in unmarked cars patrolled areas known to attract panhandlers. Wells says he saw officers arrest four people near Kansas Expressway and I-44. "I just happened to be up there drinking a cup of coffee. I saw it all happen," Wells said. "They come up to me afterward and said 'we know who you are. Next time you are going too.'" Officers placed another man in cuffs off Glenstone Avenue.

Intrepid travel spirit of vietnam tours

I have not used this forum before but have enjoyed reading messages from others in relation to Vietnam. 4 of us - 2 adults and 2 teenagers are looking into doing an Intrepid travel "spirit of Vietnam" tour in December. My husband and I did alot of backpacking through Asia before we had children but none since. The kids have not done any more travel than to Australia so have never been to Asia. I wondered if anyone had done this tour and whether you would recommend it or any other 10 day tour. We only have about 10 days which is not alot and it has to be around Christmas unfortunately. As the kids first experience of Asia we thought it maybe easier to do a tour than to arrange independent travel which we might otherwise do. The tour includes
Ho Chi Minh, flight to Hoi An, Hue, overnight train to Hue, Hanoi and Halong Bay.
Any suggestions if you have had good or not so good experiences with this tour company would be great.

Hi joanne
I would do this independantly, last year we did about 11 days and it was rushed to say the least, this year we are taking more time to go to places we didn't get to, but for 10 days I would have a couple of days in Saigon, half day to cu chi tunnels, wouldn't bother with Cao Dai(the other half day) and see the rest of HCMC yourself.
Fly to Danang(no airport in Hoi An )And use this as a base to go to Hoi An and My Son, over the Hai Van Pass to Hue for the Imperial City and the Royal Tombs, back to Danang and fly to Hanoi. I didn't really like Hanoi, just half day to have a wander round the lake. I would consider leaving Halong Bay for another visit, and go for a trip on the perfume pagoda instead

Hi joanne123,
Like roynolan above, I've not done the tour, but with only ten or eleven days, regardless of it you do it on a tour or independently, I'd be inclined to not try and cover the country north to south but pick one or the other.
Taking the north as an example, you couple fly into Hanoi , spend a couple of days there, take the night train to Sapa , spend two or three days there, night train back to Hanoi then take a two night three day tour to Ha Long Bay, followed by another day in Hanoi and you'll be done. For something like that, there's absolutely no need to do a tour, you'd still fill in the days and see a lot of stuff...
Xmas in Sapa will be COLD!
More questions, ask away.

just to add to the above post, what I've read about sapa, nothing about the place appeals to me, even thought most people say it is a must to visit, we did 11 days south to north by train, just long enough to get a taste for the country and see the main sites. I would not reccomend the trains for overnight, and I would never use them again, which is why we are flying from place to place. I don't know how old your teenagers are, or what interests them, but I think they might be bored just being in the north. Worth doing some more research to find the places that suit you all the most.

Thanks for all your replies and good ideas. Unfortunately the cost of airfares has meant we can't afford the trip this year - maybe next year. Happy travelling

@MusicLadyDrika Candy was awesome!
@lilysea not as well as Martha, but if you handicap her for the difficult town hall format, maybe they tied.
@missphenom Candy wasn't as assertive as Martha Raddatz. Raddatz outshined both her and Lehrer.
@laneytrue Fine overall. But no moderators have much to live up to after Lehrer's performance in the public's eyes.
@sombfab kind of like asking the RBI of the umpire... she wasn't supposed to be in the game.

Optoma puts out iPhone, iPod dock with own pico projector
updated 05:15 pm EDT, Mon November 1, 2010
Optoma Neo-i iPod dock has own mini projector
Optoma's pico projector line took an unusual turn on Monday as the company launched the Neo-i. The iPhone and iPod speaker dock is the first to have its own pico projector. Adding the simple unit lets it cast up to an 854x480 image as large as 120 inches, turning the design into a portable movie system for regular photos and videos as well as any apps that support TV out, like Netflix.
The design is intended for dark rooms with just 50 lumens of brightness, but it puts out 16W of stereo audio regardless of how it's used. It can take video from other sources over HDMI and VGA, including through an Apple TV or the iPad's Dock Connector to VGA adapter. Listeners can steer audio through built-in controls on the dock itself in addition to the Apple hardware or a bundled IR remote.
All Dock Connector iPods with TV output should work with the dock, including the sixth-generation iPod nano. Optoma's price parallels the hybrid design and will see it cost $449 when it ships in mid-December.

SCoBIRC FACULTY
Michael Bardo, Ph.D.
Professor and Director
Dr. Bardo has been at the University of Kentucky since 1982. He currently teaches at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and maintains a research laboratory investigating the biological bases of drug abuse.
I received my Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology in 1980 at Iowa State University under the supervision of Dr. Richard Hughes. My dissertation investigated the development of tolerance to morphine in infant rats. From 1980-82, I worked as a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Iowa under the supervision of Dr. Gerald Gebhart. Since 1982, I have been in the Department of Psychology at the University of Kentucky. I presently serve as Director of the NIDA-funded Center for Drug Abuse Research Translation (CDART).
Research Interests
Our laboratory is primarily interested in understanding the basic neuropharmacological mechanisms that underlie drug abuse vulnerability using laboratory animals. A major focus of our work is aimed at determining the impact of environmental factors during development on the behavioral effects of drugs of abuse. Neural correlates of the behavioral changes are being examined, with specific emphasis on the mesolimbic dopamine reward system. Our laboratory is also involved in collaborative research to develop novel medications for the treatment of stimulant abuse.
Students trained my laboratory are exposed to a variety of behavioral, pharmacological and neuroscience techniques. Behavioral training is obtained in both operant and classical conditioning models. Students can also receive training in various neuropharmacological techniques, including small animal surgery, brain microinjections, and HPLC analysis of neurochemicals.

Album Rating: 5.0
In general I strongly dislike power metal but this album isn't so bad, it's actually fairly impressive. The guitar work is very fun and energetic and I really enjoy Alexis voice for some strange reason.
and lol @ cocaine who has a manowar avatar yet and uses the word unoriginal.
It's just interesting because you have like four comments that you alternate between and you never rate the albums that are so "godly." I made an assumption based on that.
We appear to have some comic geniuses in this thread.
So Alexi is both the vocalist and the lead guitarist?
Album Rating: 3.5'Kay, thanks Mike.
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Offwow! I found this cd at the cd place as well as Slayer's Hell Awaits (another hard to find album where I come from) and I love it! CoB is even better than I expected, thanks for recommending them guys.
Album Rating: 4.0I agree with all the people who say the vocals suck, but the music here makes up for it. CoB's best hour.
Imo Something Wild sucks and the rest just has too many moments where Alexi's vocals rape the song up the ass. That's why CoB will never get more than a 4 from me.
Album Rating: 3.5Well it's been almost 8 months since I said I'd pick this up, and I finally got it. Can't wait to start listening.
What a brilliant album.
Album Rating: 5.0Probably the best this band will ever do. AYDY came close to this for me though.
Digging: Paysage d'Hiver - Kerker
Album Rating: 4.5That's interesting. AYDY for me was pretty awesome, but in terms of comparable greatness this album beats it in many ways. However, I do enjoy all their releases in some form. Their latest has grown on me a little, but it's still pretty bad.
Album Rating: 5.0Yeah Blooddrunk isnt as horrible as most people stay, but you're right its still bad.
Album Rating: 5.0AYDY is nothing compared to this not even in the same league
Album Rating: 4.0First 3 songs are pretty much perfect.
Album Rating: 5.0This album is amazing! If you haven't heard it go find it!
Album Rating: 4.0I HAVENT HURD IT YET
dude, everyone and chans mother knows this album
Album Rating: 4.5If these guys weren't like the first "actual" metal band I got into I probably wouldn't like them that much.
Digging: J.J. Hrubovcak - Death Metal Christmas
Album Rating: 5.0Why not? Blooddrunk is the only one of their albums that blows.
Album Rating: 4.5True but AYDY is pretty crappy now
Album Rating: 5.0No AYDY still rules.

|Comparative study of conventional and hybrid blocking layers for solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells.

|In hybrid solar cells a blocking layer between the transparent electrode and the mesoporous titanium dioxide is used to prevent short-circuits between the hole-conductor and the front electrode. The conventional approach is to use a compact film of titanium dioxide. This layer has to be of optimum thickness: it has to cover the rough surface of the anode material completely while keeping it as thin as possible since the layer acts as an ohmic resistance itself. A competitive alternative arises when using an amphiphilic diblock copolymer as a functional template to produce thin, hybrid films containing a conducting titanium dioxide network embedded in an insulating ceramic material. These hybrid films can be produced much thinner compared to the conventional approach and, hence, they possess a 32% higher conductivity. The conventional and the hybrid blocking layer are characterized by conductive scanning probe microscopy and macroscopic conductance measurements. Additionally, the functionality of both blocking layers in solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells, as tested with current-voltage measurements, is verified.
