Obsidian Kingdom Recording New Album
Spain's progressive metal outfit Obsidian Kingdom has announced the band is entering the studio to record the follow-up to debut album "Mantiis" this summer. Obsidian Kingdom comments:
"Our sophomore full-length is finally written. We will start recording at Orgone Studios in London with Jaime Gómez Arellano as producer before the end of summer; and it will be out on Season of Mist in 2016.
"We just wanted you to know that we can hardly wait for you to experience our new songs. We kindly ask you to give a warm welcome to our new, young and talented members: Seerborn Ape Tot on guitars and Om Rex Orale on bass. You will meet them both in person before soon. Enjoy the last days of summer."
To celebrate the album announcement, the band has released a video showcasing a special "Drone Set" performance featuring Brunetto on "BCNmp7. Metal·lúrgies." This clip was recorded at Centre de Cultura Contemporània in Barcelona on June 4th, and can be viewed below. More...
Obsidian Kingdom Covers Nirvana
Spain's progressive metal outfit Obsidian Kingdom has released a cover of the Nirvana classic "Breed." The cover was recorded at the request of Spain's leading hard rock publication RockZone and can be heard below. This version of "Breed" also appears on the compilation "Bipolar Sessions #2," which commemorates this year's Record Store Day.
Regarding the track, Obsidian Kingdom comments: "As so many kids from the nineties, one of the things that made us break into playing an instrument was receiving a mixtape from the weird guy at school that featured the very best of alternative rock, from Alice In Chain to Tool and from Marilyn Manson to Soundgarden, which had us desperately falling in love with rock music.
"When RockZone offered us to participate in the second edition of their 'Bipolar Sessions', we felt like those kids again, and hurried back to our garage to remove the dust from our old distortion pedals.
"We have always had a huge penchant for Nirvana, especially in their noisiest, and we have chosen 'Breed' because it is the perfect pop song with all the punk rage and teenage angst that we loved so deep back in the day." More...
Obsidian Kingdom Posts Performance Footage
Obsidian Kingdom just released live footage filmed during the band's performance at the first Ritual Cvlt Fest in Barcelona on October 3rd, 2014.
The track "Awake Until Dawn" originally comes from the Spanish progressive metal band's debut album "Mantiis."

A full list of confirmed tour dates can be found below.
Obsidian Kingdom also recently premiered a video for the "Ball-Room" track, taken off ambitious debut album, "Mantiis – An Agony in Fourteen Bites."
Regarding the music video, the band comments: "Behold Obsidian Kingdom's music video for 'Ball-Room,' one of the bloodiest chapters out of Mantiis and a shocking visual tale portraying sex, death, and a good load of frenzied pleasures. Shot and directed by the band and Oyeme! Studio in a damp basement, this clip is not recommended for the faint of heart. Don't forget to wash your eyes after you've watched it."

Obsidian Kingdom is re-issuing the album via Season Of Mist, and the band comments: "We feel there could be no better way to introduce our debut album to a wider audience for it to enjoy and judge; a post-modern rock opera where girls and insects dance to the sound of an eerie tune that will delight progressive music lovers from all over the world."

Bloodstock Adds More Bands To 2014 Lineup
The organizers of the Bloodstock Festival have checked in with the following update about confirming more bands for the 2014 edition:
"Things are hotting up at Bloodstock HQ and even more bands are unveiled for 2014!! Joining the main stage bill are the newly renamed, Entombed A.D. After having to change their name from just 'Entombed', LG Petrov and his fellow band members are once again ready to let the music do the talking after a year of internal struggles. They release the highly anticipated new album 'Back to the Front' on 4th August via Century Media and are eager to get back on the road.
"Getting the heads banging on the Sophie stage on Thursday are British trad metalheads Monument, and bringing their own brand of theatrical madness and extreme metal are former 'Metal 2 The Masses' winners, Gethika. Bringing an international flavour on Sunday are death/thrash metallers Krow, who hail all the way from Brazil. Fancy something a little different? Then check out 16-yr old blues star in the making Aaron Keylock, also performing on Sunday's Sophie stage.
"Not content with that, Bloodstock can also reveal six killer bands for the Jagermeister stage! Grab a couple Jagerbombs and come headbang to Undersmile and King Creature on Friday, plus Massive Wagons and a special acoustic set from Orphaned Land on Saturday. If you're still standing come Sunday, be sure to catch Rabid Bitch of the North and The Heretic Order."
The festival takes place from August 7th - 10th and full details are available at this location. The currently announced lineup is as follows: More...
Indie Recordings Posts Remixed Tracks
With Cult of Luna & God Seedout together on European Tour, Indie Recordings approached select artists about remixing tracks from the two bands. Indie Recordings comments:
"The results have been astonishing. From dark drone to heavy beats, to a club mix of God Seed and even a trip to the Cult of Luna circus... We've had what can only be described as an eclectic mix come back to us.
"Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be releasing tracks on to the Indie Recordings Youtube page. To start things off, we have two Cult of Luna remixes, and one God Seed. 'Passing Through' has been experimented on by Petrels, Poland's Whalesong have given us their spin on 'In Awe Of', whilst God Seed have had 'Lit' re-worked by rising Spanish progressive metal act Obsidian Kingdom."

Obsidian Kingdom Signs To Season Of Mist

Founded in Barcelona in 2005, the band self-released the concept album "Mantiis – An Agony in Fourteen Bites" in 2012 (which is still available for streaming over here). Obsidian Kingdom comments:
"Obsidian Kingdom is no longer an independent band. We have come to this hard resolution having one and only one thing in mind: to keep making music for you. Because we want you to know about us if you don't already. We want to be able to play in your town or very near. We want you to spin our records without having to pay inflated shipping prices. And we would rather invest our limited and valuable human resources in making music, not in bureaucracy.
"...From now on, we will be working side by side to bring our music to your ears in the best and most efficient way possible, starting with the long-time demanded re-issue of our debut album, 'Mantiis', which will happen in the autumn. In the meantime, we are already writing more music for you to bask in... Wish us luck on this brave step, and we will repay you a thousand-fold!"
In addition to the forthcoming new album, Season of Mist will reissue Obsidian Kingdom's "Mantiis" later this year. More...

Neutrogena Skin Clearing Oil-Free Pressed Powder

Package Quality: 3.4
Price: $$$
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Cool
Hair: Black, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
Oh boy...where do I begin? Chalky, flaky, rough and just plain ugly. I was bought by the idea of this powder actually "clearing" my skin. Boy, was I wrong. I stopped wearing it for TWO DAYS and my acne went away. When I started using this powder again, all of it came back. Also, it gets off just a tad bit of shine (if applied correctly) and it covers up NOTHING! Of course, being the stupid teenager that I am, I always applied too much and ended up looking like a corpse. This, as another user said, clings to every single one of my little tiny hairs, and gives the apperance of very very dry skin. Plus, for $12, I am NEVER buying this again!!!
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm

I think this is the kind of product where u either love it or hate it. i personally love it.
ive tried dozens of pressed powders. cover girl ones broke me out, physicians formula waaaay to heavy (and this was the mineral version), the maybelline ones were either too powdery or broke me out, etc etc.
this is the only one that doesnt cause me to break out, helps when i do, controls oil very well, and its really light in texture, not obvious on me at all.
it is a bit expensive but i wait for a bogo free sale so i can get one of their lipbalms (which i love!) or something.
normally i moisturize, and maybe some concealer depending on my skin, then apply this on with a brush which i really think makes the coverage just perfect. then i apply the rest of my makeup.
hope this helped

I do not know if I benefited from the skin clearing "treatment" of this product or not. I could not get over the fact that it just caked on. I looked in the mirror in horrow and quickly washed it off. Will not repurchase. Looks cakey and builds up.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Very Oily, Tan, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Black
skin clearing? heavens no! it broke me out after 4 hours! too bad, i actually like how it felt when i applied it on my skin and it did control the shine (my face gets oily only after 30 minutes of washing) but for its name, this product is failure! i decided to give it chance and applied it below my cheeks. it still broke me out! i regret having spent my money on it.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure

Oh dear... I agree, this is not good. I think I was seduced by the idea of 'skin-clearing' makeup, hastily ignoring what I already knew; that it would be cheap stuff which didn't work. And so it was, unfortunately. At first I tried to convince myself it was okay as a blotting powder, but honestly, nope, it made me look like a ghost. It also sinks into pores and makes them look HUGE. I have Fair 01... which considering I am a fair girl who usually buys fair shade products, would seem like the obvious choice, but I'd say if for some reason you are considering buying this powder, then go for a shade darker than you would normally.

Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Curly, Fine
Eyes: Blue
Horrible. Horrible... HORRIBLE. Never ever EVER again will I buy any cosmetics from Neutrogena. I am disappointed each and every time. This looks like crappy chalk on the skin and like someone else said, it made me look like I had a beard because it accentuated all my facial hair!!! It did nothing to combat acne, in fact, it was the culprit of causing a mass irritation breakout on my cheek that I'm still battling a week or two later. Don't bother with this at all - it belongs in the bottom of the trash can!
Age: 18 & Under

Great product! I love it, mostly because its skin clearing (Has salacylic acid in it) and it totally evens out my skin tone. About oil control...Hmmm...Well I think my skin is definitely more oily than everyone Ive ever met, so maybe Im not the person to ask..But it does help for the first hour/ish..I put Jurlique Silk Dust on top of it, and that works great.
Anyway totally love this stuff, I use it every morning.

aftr reading this, i didnt wanna buy it, but it was on sale for like $5 so i was like wat th hay. i dont think this is all that bad. yea, th sponge thing is a piece of crap, but i put it on w/ a brush. my face has actually gottn bettr since using this. i hate that thers only 3 shades x_x. but i use th lightest one and put like bronzer on it cuz th other ones r too dark.

Okay, this powder sucks. At first, I seemed to like it, but then I realized how chalky and drying this product made my skin look and feel. I've stopped using it and wished that I kept the box so that I could return it. Terrible, terrible powder. Cheap and rough all around.Price is too expensive for such a bad product.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Black, Straight, Medium

I wanted to have a touch-up powder with some sort of acne-fighting ingredient in it and
got this because Neutrogena stuff was on sale. This is not a very nice powder. It tends
to cake-up and make skin look overly matte and unnatural, even when lightly applied
with a fluffy powder brush. Dry or flaky spots are very much accentuated, even enlarged
pores look somehow highlighted. Ew. It also doesn't last very long and has to be
reapplied after about an hour or so (I have combination/oily skin). The "sponge" they
give you to apply the powder is absolute garbage and something you'd normally find in a
dollar store compact. Plus, this is rather pricey and the color selection (there's
about three colors) leaves something to be desired, though the lightest shade seems to
be working for me. The packaging is much nicer than the Almay version of this product,
which is about the only positive thing I have to say about it.

If I'm fitted for AP2's, but 1/2" longer, can Titleist still make the club a D2 swingweight?
How is this done? Is material removed from the head? Or is a different head that you use?
Hi Joe, It is going to depend on the shaft, flex and grip. In general, we should be able to get to a D2 if it is specified on the order. We have a range of headweights that we can use for various lengths.

Just Scrapped A Classic Toyota- Who Cares?
Posted 29 March 2006 - 11:10 AM
Failed MOT on 2 front ball joints, quoted £170 each side by Toyota for new ones.........
no help or discount offered by Toyota main dealers in Poole, not interested despite their suprise at the cost and me quoting the Toyota Owners club....!
this was a good car and i loved it, couldnt source any parts new or second hand anywhere. i also offered it on these bulletin boards and in classic magazines at a sensible price, no interest.
Classic Toyota.........no thanks, i will get a make of car that there is some interest in.
if you think i am less than impressed.........you would be right............... weigh your classics cars in, there is little interest in them from Toyota or anyone else................. i am off to buy a Ford

Forget toyota dealerships... don't expect them to be interested... if they are not extorting you for a new car they are not interested......
There are very few toyota dealerships, with staff that actually are pasionate about the cars......
Although my local (coxon henley) is utterly !Removed!, the parts department is better then spot on. their manager is truely passionate about toyotas, (infact it was their head of parts that once bought in a copy of jap performance and showed m an add of a car they thought was right up my street..... you can now see it in my avatar, being an '88 it is well out of their usual list, and under the "pain in the **** to gat parts for" category, yet he will go out of his way to help me out).
Classic cars are by nature a PITA... but its worth it for the pleasure... my ball joints are £120 each, I am just glad I can still get them....
Hang on there, hold your head up and be proud to own something different....
If you can't hack that... maybe you deserve a ford.
Posted 30 March 2006 - 07:46 AM
The car is only one of 200 left in the UK. you would think that Toyota would be proud to keep the car on the road as an everyday classic..........obviously not.
i have hunted high and low for the spares, new or second hand. i refuse to deal with Toyota main dealers on principal now, they did not even bother to reply to a courteous letter to the General Manager asking to meet me half way on cost.
it will be scrapped this weekend, i am then delivering the crushed metal box to the dealership on Monday morning.
any suggestions on a usable classic with good back up or interested suppliers of spares........i am open to offers
Posted 30 March 2006 - 09:14 AM
When I sold it it had done more than 120k miles and was still going as good as new.
I would have thought for the sake of £400 it would be worth repairing it , if the bodywork is still OK.

Peace brother and Chill out
... and I (As a runner of many old bangers through the years and my involvement with parts supply/manufacturers at work) will try and explain things a little (which will hopefully save the old-timer and elighten you to the Toyota parts situation).
Virtually every part for every Toyota from 1957 is available as a GENUINE part from Toyota ...in Japan (and at a price ).
Due to this Toyota Japan have a parts enquiry system which every dealership in the world is 'linked to' as the Toyota parts CD only goes back to 1977/78 (e.g. Celica models covered are RA/TA40 range and earlier TA/RA 20 Series are not)
Unfortunately some (not all !) Toyota UK dealerships (and I believe New Zealand dealerships ) cannot always be bothered to find/go to the trouble to order/ import ...or even inquire about said items into Great Britain if for example they will only have a turn-over of say one particuar item sold every 5 years.
As a side note you may think it is difficult/take a long time for rare part to come from Japan ...but most of items are not stored in Japan! ...they are in warehouses in Belgium !!! ...due to cheeper storage rates !
So infact your avarage Japanese enthusiast restoring say a Toyota Publica or Crown in Japan does infact have to wait for parts from Belgium (So item originally made in Japan ...goes to Belgium for storage ...then back again to happy Jappy!) ...isn't life bizzare!
Although you state price is horrific ...and I AGREE ...how many other manufacturers do you know of that could supply you with NEW and GENUINE parts for a vehicle made nearly 30 year ago?
You say you might go FORD ...fine but did you know in recent times they are not even able to supply parts for late 80's vehicles ...try getting bits for say a 1985 XR3, RS1600i or SERIES 1 RS Turbo ...you might be in for a BIG dissapointment.
MG ...okay as a MGB enthusiast I Have to agree every last item is easily available BUT it's not genuine and thus some of the Items are of very dubious quality!
Did you also know under international manufacturing law the Car Manufacturers only have to keep spares for vehicles up to 10 year old! An extreme and unfortnate example of this was the Opel Manta; in 1998 because the last Manta was produced in 1988 GM Europe Division scraped nearly all the unique parts to this model and did not even offer them to Manta Clubs...of which there was a lot in Germany and rest of Europe at the time.
Personnally my experiance of Toyota parts departments locally has been Superb (Hylton of Telford and William A Lewis of Telford).
The parts chap seems to thrive on discovering rare items and even the service manager shows GENUINE interest as he always comes over for a look etc. Only last week I managed to get some parts for a friends 1972 Celica TA22. Also when vehciles are over 12 year old they offer a discount.
Posted 30 March 2006 - 02:14 PM
You should know that the manufacturer cares not a jot about the classic enthusiast. If he things he can sell you a new car every three years he might care.
I haven't been to a main daler for a part for any car I've owned in 15 years or more. Motor factors are a fraction the price, or the classic specialists.
I wanted some ball joints for my Ventora and I had to hunt round for nearly 18 months to find some then pay through the nose for them.
You sound like a spoilt child snivelling about how the world's not there just to please you.
Posted 30 March 2006 - 07:36 PM
any suggestions on a usable classic with good back up or interested suppliers of spares........i am open to offers

The Advance Payment Model is designed for physician-based and rural providers who have come together voluntarily to give coordinated high quality care to the Medicare patients they serve. Through the Advance Payment ACO Model, selected participants will receive upfront and monthly payments, which they can use to make important investments in their care coordination infrastructure.
There are 35 ACOs participating in the Advance Payment ACO Model. (List)To view an interactive map of this Model, visit the Where Innovation is Happening page. expand Read more about interactive map of this Model
In developing the Advance Payment ACO Model, CMS is responding to input from stakeholders received on the proposed rule for the Shared Savings Program, and comments received (PDF) on the initial Advance Payment Model announced in May 2011. Some providers have expressed a concern about their lack of ready access to the capital needed to invest in infrastructure and staff for care coordination. The Advance Payment ACO Model is meant to help smaller ACOs with less access to capital participate in the Shared Savings Program.
Initiative Details
Through the Advance Payment ACO Model, selected organizations will receive an advance on the shared savings they are expected to earn. Participating ACOs will receive three types of payments:
- An upfront, fixed payment: Each ACO will receive a fixed payment.
- An upfront, variable payment: Each ACO will receive a payment based on the number of its historically-assigned beneficiaries.
- A monthly payment of varying amount depending on the size of the ACO: Each ACO will receive a monthly payment based on the number of its historically-assigned beneficiaries.
Advance payments are structured in this manner to acknowledge that new ACOs will have both fixed and variable start-up costs.

By Dan Vergano, USA TODAY
Buried in Antarctica's frozen wastes might be the clues to origins of our solar system, and scientists suggest, life itself.
Meteorites — little bits of leftover planetary building material — reveal radioactive signs that show our sun is about 4.6 billion years old. But how can we tell what conditions were like in those early moments when our sun was born?
Comet dust, the most fragile of meteorites, should offer some insights into "the coldest regions of the early solar system," suggests a team led by French mineral expert Jean Duprat of theUniversité Paris-Sud, i n the current Science journal.
NASA has sent airplanes aloft to gather comet dust raining down into the atmosphere, and even dispatched the 1999 Stardust mission to the comet Wild-2 for a sampling mission to gather the stuff from the source. Duprat and colleagues instead journeyed to Antarctica, the frozen icebox continent, looking for comet dust, a practice common among meteorite experts for two decades.
Melting and sieving 106 cubic feet of "ultraclean" snow that fell near a French-Italian Antarctic camp from 1955 to 1970 (before people moved in), the team reports the discovery of two micrometeorites, "exhibiting a fine-grained, fluffy texture with no evidence for substantial heating during atmospheric entry." The two bits of fallen comet dust measure no more than .003 inches and .01 inches across.
The two micrometeorites are loaded with the element carbon, the essential ingredient for the organic chemistry needed for life. The larger one is 85% carbon, and the smaller one is 48% carbon. And they contain higher-than-expected amounts of deuterium, a rare form of hydrogen, in a concentration 30 times higher than is usually found mixed with hydrogen on Earth.
None of this is so surprising because interstellar clouds of dust in deep space, far more ancient than the sun, are thought to contain just these sorts of things. So it's likely comets picked up the carbon and deuterium that way. Except that when the team used a microscope to examine the dust particles, says the study, they also found tiny crystals which could only have been "condensed or processed at close distances from the young sun." In other words, the young sun cooked up the particles, carbon and deuterium somehow.
If so, then the early solar system may have been more of a cooker for life's simplest ingredients than astrobiologists had believed, suggests meteorite expert Larry Nittler of the Carnegie Institution of Washington (D.C.), in a commentary accompanying the report. He adds, "the very high carbon contents of (particles) may well have profound implications for the original delivery of organic molecules to the early Earth, with possible consequences for the earliest prebiotic (pre-life) chemistry."
Just how simple carbon compounds brewed together to get life started on Earth remains the big question of biology. Chemists such as David Deamer of the University of California, Santa Cruz, have found hints of the RNA (ribonucleic acid, the workhorse molecules of genetic activity in cells) counterpart to the DNA of our genes "self-assembling" in the watery broth that must have covered the early Earth.
And how did the water get to the early Earth? Comets are one explanation: The dusty snowballs may have pounded the planet during two periods of "bombardment" more than 3.8 billion years ago, evidenced by craters on the moon. Rather than being the ill omens of the ancient world, we may all owe a lot to comets.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Curt Yeomans
Twenty-one Forest Park High School parents and alumni, and three City of Forest Park officials, gathered at city hall on Friday night with the intent of discussing recent scandals at the school with officials from Clayton County Public Schools.
Instead, they were met with empty seats on the side of Forest Park City Council chambers that was set aside for school system officials, and members of the Clayton County Board of Education.
Now, questions submitted by the parents will be taken to school officials in an attempt to establish a dialogue on ways to improve the school.
"At least we know some of the concerns parents have about what's going on at the school," said Forest Park High School parent and meeting organizer, Shanda Ross. "I'm going to bring these questions and concerns to the school's administration, the [Forest Park High School Parent-Teacher Student Association], the school system, and the school board, so they can understand what our concerns are."
In just over a week, Forest Park High School has been in the media spotlight because of scandals involving two of its teachers. Former Basketball Coach and Physical Education teacher Lawrence McGraw is facing two counts of simple battery because of an October incident involving a female student in the school's concession stand. There are conflicting reports as to whether McGraw grabbed the student by her arm, or by her belt, before she fell.
Another teacher at the school recently completed a suspension that was issued to him after a student, and a former student, were caught having sex in his classroom after a drama club meeting.
During the meeting, some parents stood up and told Forest Park City Councilmembers Sparkle Adams and Linda Lord, as well as City Manager John Parker, the empty seats were indicative of the type of response they are getting from school district officials about concerns involving the school.
"That's what we're dealing with," said Forest Park High School parent, LaTonya Jackson, as she pointed to the empty chairs. "They treat us like we're not important, or that our issues are not considered important."
School system officials, ranging from School Board Chairperson Alieka Anderson and School Board Member Trinia Garrett, all the way down to administrators from Forest Park High School, had been invited to attend, accordinbg to meeting organizer, Shanda Ross. Of all the officials invited to the meeting on Friday night, only Anderson and Garrett had confirmed they would attend, Ross added.
But as the meeting got underway, not even the school board members were there to hear the concerns of parents. "The board members called me at the last minute and said they had another obligation that came up at the last minute," Ross said.
When called late Friday night, Anderson said she did not attend the meeting because of a family emergency. Garrett could not be reached for comment.
Ross said she and other parents plan to "follow the protocol" by working first with school-level officials, while making sure the school system, and the school board is aware of the issue.
School System Spokesman Charles White said school-level and district-level officials are looking forward to receiving the questions from Ross, and working with parents to address issues at the school. He said he could not comment on whether parents have been ignored, because he was not at the meeting.

Oh, so when does 'Broke-ass Moron' debut?
" I'm melting……! "
I need to see her naked
Yes, if she wants me to watch her shows she will get naked in each one otherwise there is no redeeming value.
Ah, never mind, I'll just go rip off the clothes of some mannequin at Victoria's Secret and get the same effect.
Pearls before swine. That is all.
Save the TV show, shoot Heidi
Who the hell keeps making stupid shows with these no talent fucktards??
Worse – who watches Jersey, any Kardashian show, Kendra and all this bullshit?
Truly incredible that some people tune to ANY of these worthless "shows."
"What!?, I gotta get to the Shauna Sand look-a-like contest?"
Heidi Montag has a new TV show? how did I not hear this, does the internet have a crapcensor filter now?
She got a TV job?
There must have been a blow job involved. Spenser must have done well.
Look at that outfit. You know ripped low rise jeans and uggs are the Angel Flight suit of the 2000's.
New in stores; Pearl necklace HoBag Barbie, brain free.
So that's what that shirt looks like when her implants aren't leaking like last time.
Bow Derrick got a good deal from the devil.
Wait, which side is her butt on?
It's odd. There are only two women in the world I would hate-screw: Ke$ha, and Heidi Montag.
Hi, I'm Josephus, and I'm a sex addict.
Well, she's finally learned how doors work. Next up: shoe laces.
Ok,it's running in the 90's in L.A.! Why the fuck is she wearing snow boots? Is the cocaine that deep at her house or has Spencer turned that cold a shoulder to her, now that he no longer wants to be famous?
"ohhh, it says 'pull'! Ha ha ha! Haven't heard that word from Spencer in months."
So the security guard is just there to open the door, hold her starbucks, and keep Spencer away?

If you underexpose film, colors are said to be more saturated. Since you have highlights in your scene, depending on your metering method chances are high that you underexposed these shots.

Supernatural returns with an episode tonight that will change history.
Not in the way that probably makes it sound. In fact, Executive Producer Sera Gamble says that this week's installment is lighter fare as far as Supernatural goes.
Yesterday, we posted a couple of sneak peeks of "My Heart Will Go On," in which Sam and Dean must find and reverse the course of a Titanic-sized twist of fate.
Here's an insider's take on what's to come tonight on the CW:

all gift shops on Texel: Texel sheep
What to buy: Texel has more sheep than people and when traveling on the island you will see them everywhere. There is even a special famous sheep breed: 'Texelaar' (see for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texel_%28sheep%29).
We found these small and larger 'sheep' in several gift shops all over the island . Don't know if they are made of really sheep wool, but they are cute and an original souvenir of Texel.
We bought ours in a nice gift shop (Kees de Waal) in Den Burg.
What to pay: We paid only a couple of euro's.
Echte bakker Timmer: Kleikoek
Timmer bakes all kind of typical Texel cookies. As there are: Texel speculaas, Kleikoek, Hoornderring.
What to buy: Not sure what you should buy, but don´t go for the kleikoek (clay cookie.). The name is perfectly choosen it looks like clay, it feels like clay and there is not much other taste...
What to pay: About €5
Local estate agency: Buy a house and stay here
What to buy: If you like this island as much as we did, you can choose to buy a house here. There are several houses for sale. Sometimes it are only season holiday houses, but there are also real nice houses like this one.
Den Burg has at least two estate agencies.
What to pay: houses are not cheap on Texel. This one would set you back for € 345.000,=
harbour of Oudeschild: Do your own fishing trips
What to buy: In the harbour of Oudeschild you can find this ship. It is for sale.
If you buy it you can organise your own fishing trips.
What to pay: Absolutely no idea, we didn´t call the number on the for sale sign. But it is probably a number with lots of zeros behind it.
several shops: seaside rubbish
What to buy: Most souvenirshops sell things related to the sea, like small boats or wooden lighthouses.
What to pay: Always too much, because when you come home you just put it in the closet. Or the person you give it to has to put it away.......
- Beaches
- Family Travel
several souvenir shops: Bathfoam
What to buy: There is even a bathfoam and soap made with sheepmilk. Legends tell sheepmilk is good for the skin, but there is no scientific proof........
What to pay: The bathfoam is sold for €4,50 a big bottle, or €3,15 for a small bottle.
The soap is €1,80
- Beaches
- Family Travel
several shops: it is all about sheep
What to buy: Several shops all over the island sell items made of sheepproducts. Sheep are the symbol of the island.
At this pic you see woolen sweeters, sheep to play with and many other products.
What to pay: Probably too much, because it is for the tourist trade.
- Family Travel
Kaasboerderij Wezenspyk - Anton Witte: cheese
Buy your cheese at one of the cheesefarms of Texel. Handmade from the best ingredients. There are cheeses from cowmilk but also from sheepmilk.

Just of note: Beware the flash crash because it last occurred during a fear heavy day. 0 commentsActually many probably want a flash crash to take advantage of the sharp move. But I actually was on my computer during the last flash crash and it was too quick to take advantage of the sharp move. People that placed stop loss sell limits were the biggest losers during the flash crash.
So take off those Stop Loss Sell Limits because no matter how low they are a flash crash can trigger them.
Beware the mini flash crash
Michelle Price19 Jan 2011 Updated at 19:00 GMT
Circuit-breakers were supposed to stop 'flash crashes' in shares, but they are failing to do their job. That could have worrying implications for the stock market, says new research.
Regulators have been fretting over the 'flash crash' phenomena ever since May 6 2010 when confusion in the US markets caused the Dow Jones Industrial Average index to plummet 1,000 basis points in around 20 minutes.
The event sparked months of industry soul-searching regarding the structure and speed of the US and European equities trading markets, calling into question the emergence of super high-speed trading practices that have become an integral part of the modern markets.
Stock-specific circuit-breakers introduced in US markets in June were supposed to stop all this. But research by French brokerage CA Cheuvreux highlights four mini crashes in specific stocks since June, some with even sharper falls than on May 6.
On September 27, for example, Progress Energy lost 90% of its share price in less than a tenth of a second. US stock market NYSE correctly triggered its circuit-breaker, but Nasdaq, which also trades Progress Energy, did not and had to void the trades that occurred during the stock's freefall.
What this suggests, according to CA Cheuvreux, is that circuit-breakers are not the answer to preventing erratic and potentially damaging stock price behaviour. Given the speed at which stocks can rise and fall, there remains a risk, as in the case of Progress Energy, that an exchange's circuit-breaker cannot respond with enough speed.
What's more, says CA Cheuvreux, if one exchange is not able to trigger its circuit-breakers on what appears to be a troubled stock, the risk of the stock entering into a fully fledged crash on that exchange increases.
The report also shows that mini flash crashes can work both ways by pushing the stock upwards just as suddenly as it can fall: on June 16, for example, the price of Washington Post stock jumped off the scale within the blink of an eye.
So If circuit-breakers cannot be relied upon to prevent mini crashes, what is the answer? According to CA Cheuvreux, the solution is to slow down. "The incidents of mini-flash crashes show that, with respect to the global dynamic of the markets, something continues to be wrong," says Charles Lehalle, head of Quantitative Research at CA Cheuvreux.
"We believe that if we want to do something to address this, the dynamic of the price formation process must change. Strange though it may sound, we believe that some friction needs to be introduced into the market. This would help mitigate such erratic stock price moves."
That an equities broker has come out and argued in favour of slowing down the markets is remarkable given that the European trading community is currently embroiled in a public battle with European regulators who desire, much to the horror of many trading chiefs, to do just this.
That though appears to be exactly what CA Cheuvreux wants. That suggests that the regulatory fears that super-fast trading can distort the orderly functioning of the markets may not be as overblown as some traders would have us believe.

LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — Police are investigating a one-car accident that killed a 51-year-old New Ashford woman on Thursday night.
Sheryl A. Surprenant of State Road in New Ashford was driving northbound on Route 7 when her car crossed lanes and went off the road, crashing through the sign for the former Lamp Post Motel, on the southbound side, said police.
Officers responded at 9:22 p.m. to the report of a vehicle off the road near the motel on Route 7. The Chrysler had flipped and was lodged in trees and brush.
"The vehicle was on its roof and in the trees. She was pronounced dead on the scene," said Sgt. Gary Kirby on Wednesday. "It was a very
The fire started inside a wall between the kitchen and bar around 4 a.m. The restaurant was closed at the time and there were no injuries. The estimated damage is $700,000. The building did not have fire sprinklers.
The fire was investigated by the Lanesborough Fire Department and state police assigned to the Office of the State Fire Marshal. Assistance was received from an electrical expert and State Police Crime Scene Services.
The state fire marshal has ruled out arson as the cause of the blaze that destroyed V's Dog House early Sunday morning.

GMOs invade fruit industry: Apples, pears, cherries and peaches to all become unlabeled GMO
– GMOs invade fruit industry: Apples, pears, cherries and peaches to all become unlabeled GMO (Natural News, Feb 14, 2015):
Genetically modified apples have been approved by the industry-corrupted USDA, a federal regulator that accomplishes for the biotech industry the same thing the FDA achieves for Big Pharma: unlimited profits, lax regulation and a ready willingness to accept fabricated "science" as fact.
"The USDA's environmental review received 73,000 comments that overwhelmingly opposed the commercialization of Arctic Apples," explains a press release from Food & Water Watch. [1]
The GMO apple that just received approval was developed by the Okanagan Specialty Fruits company, which says it "…married the best of nature with the best of science." Continue reading »

Alex Zaid graduated from Lincoln Institute in 1977. He worked as Head Physiotherapist at Western Region Health Centre during which time he also completed his post-graduate diploma in manipulative therapy. In 1986 Alex moved to the Tweed Valley where he established the Murwillumbah Physiotherapy Centre. He specialises in the treatment of muscle, joint and ligament injuries. He has an interest in occupational health and conducts manual handling training for industry and organisations.
Kirsten Wunderer graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy with Honours from the University of South Australia where she won the University Medal for Outstanding Academic Achievement. She then worked in a renowned private practice in Adelaide that specialised in treating musculoskeletal and sports injuries. Kirsten's keen interest in Pilates led her to complete two separate Pilates teaching courses and she went on to teach both beginners and advanced classes.
A list of fees is available on request from our receptionist. Payment is requested a time of consultation. Hicaps health fund rebate is available, you just pay the gap. Workers compensation or road accident patients should indicate their position to the receptionist at the time of making the appointment. Following determination of liability, the insurers will be billed directly. Patients are reminded however, that they are responsible for their accounts should liability be denied.
If you are unable to keep an appointment, please notify us as soon as possible so that we may re-schedule another time.
If you require physiotherapy treatment urgently outside normal practice hours, or if you become unduly concerned about your condition you can contact Alex Zaid on his private telephone number m: 0415835289
As members of the Australian Physiotherapy Association we undertake mandatory continuing education courses. Because we are accessing the latest information we can treat you more effectively giving you more ways to move well and stay well.
Our Clinical Pilates classes are designed for a small group to ensure optimal supervision. We have introduced an innovative approach to our classes by screening all new participants with real time ultrasound. You will actually be able to watch your inner muscles (transversus abdominis, multifidus and pelvic floor) contracting during exercise. Each participant will also be equipped with a pressure biofeedback unit to enhance specificity in recruitment and training of the core muscles.
Clinical Pilates is a form of physical exercise that focuses on posture, core stability, balance, control, strength, flexibility, and breathing. Although Pilates can be extremely beneficial for patients with certain injuries it needs to be specific to the individual and not used as a generic tool for everyone. Clinical Pilates identifies this key issue by applying carefully selected exercises for people with specific injuries.
We have chosen the Clinical Pilates model of exercise because it emphasises the teaching of pathology specific exercises and through the addition of real-time ultrasound and pressure biofeedback we ensure optimal gains whilst minimizing the likelihood of injury aggravation. It is often used in conjunction with physiotherapy as a means of treating a variety of injuries, particularly those of the neck and back.
Appointments for Physiotherapy treatment may be made by telephoning our receptionist. We will usually be able to schedule appointments for the same or the following day. However, we will always attempt to treat patients in severe pain immediately. The initial consultation usually takes between 30 and 45 minutes and any subsequent consultations from 20 to 30 minutes.

Sulfur used for cheaper, more energy dense batteries
- Details
- Category: Technology
13 Jun 2013
- Published on Thursday, 13 June 2013 08:08
- Hits (1977)
A lithium-sulfur battery developed at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory could outlast the best of the commercially available lithium-ion batteries.
The lab researchers have designed and tested their battery, which uses the abundant and low-cost element sulfur, and found that it has approximately four times the energy density of a lithium-ion battery.
The concept of lithium-sulfur batteries has been around for some time now, but there has yet to be a commercial version. The reason for this is a problem inherent to the batteries use of liquid electrolytes.
The liquid electrolytes in a lithium-sulfur battery help conduct ions through the battery by allowing lithium polysulfide compounds to dissolve. However, the same dissolution process causes the battery to prematurely breakdown.
The O.R.N.L. team went around these problems by using a solid electrolyte material as well as a new cathode and lithium anode for an energy-dense, all-solid battery.
The cathode is made by synthesizing a new class of sulfur-rich material that can conduct ions. It enabled the O.R.N.L. battery to maintain a capacity of 1200 milliamp-hours per gram after 300 charge-discharge cycles. In comparison, a traditional lithium-ion battery cathode has an average capacity of 140-170 mAh/g.
Aside from its energy density, one of the biggest advantages in the O.R.N.L. battery is its use of sulfur, which is a plentiful industrial byproduct of petroleum processing.
"Sulfur is practically free," noted Chengdu Liang, who led the research team. "Not only does sulfur store much more energy than the transition metal compounds used in lithium-ion battery cathodes, but a lithium-sulfur device could help recycle a waste product into a useful technology."
Although the technology is still in the demonstration stage, the team believes that the research can be quickly scaled for commercial applications. A patent on the design is pending.
"Our battery design has real potential to reduce cost, increase energy density and improve safety compared with existing lithium-ion technologies," Mr. Liang concluded. – EcoSeed Staff

We are constantly realigning our lives. There are times when our realignment will come from a positive change in our lives. Other times we are working to realign in order to overcome and move on from a challenging situation or event in life. The key to any realignment is our mindset. How we approach each of these times in our lives will determine the outcome. Let's take a look at an example of each type of realignment.
The decision to quit smoking cigarettes is a positive change in life. The long term goals usually include improved health, improved athletic performance, increased life expectancy and fewer evil eyes from the non-smokers in society. Being able to separate oneself from a nicotine addiction is incredibly difficult and often requires numerous attempts to be successful. The effort and dedication that is required to make this positive realignment is aided by the beneficial outcomes that await those who are successful. In order to realign every aspect of our lives that used to include cigarettes we need to focus on anything and everything to help us overcome that addiction. A longer and healthier life spent with those that mean the most to us provides motivation and often fuels success. The realignment is focused on the good to overcome the bad.
Unfortunately, we don't always get to realign our lives because a positive change has come upon us or because we have decided to remove something unhealthy from our lives. There are times when life brings challenges or hardships into our lives and we are forced to realign. An example of this type of life event forced realignment is the loss of a loved one. In these situations we are facing realignment of our day-to-day lives so that we may learn to live without someone or something we loved and who brought happiness and joy to our life. This is very different when compare to a realignment based on removing something unhealthy from our lives. This does not mean that the realignment should only result in only the loss of something good with nothing but a void behind. It is up to you, and only you, to decide what will fill that void.
How do we positively realign our lives when life throws us a curveball we never expected ? We must find the strength to go on when there seems to be no indication of a better life ahead. We should not focus on what our eyes are telling us but instead we must focus on what our minds and our hearts are telling us. What can you take from that time and experience with a loved one that can make you a better person going forward? What strength can you find in yourself to demonstrate that you have not forgotten them and that you have learned from them? Make up in your mind that you are going to be able to overcome the struggles and pain and that you will come out on the other side a more complete individual. Decide how each experience is going to make you a better person and don't let anything stand in your way.
We adjust and adapt every day of our lives. Through all the laughter and through all the tears we decide how we are going to deal with life and all of its challenges. Our eyes tell us only part of the story. The rest of the story lies within our control. Make up your mind on how you are going to realign your life in a positive manner, no matter the cause.
