Genre : Drum N Bass
Mooney- Over the past ten years this man has become a familiar face in the free party scene. Originally playing solely banging techno; he later stared incorporating breaks into his repertoire, soon becoming known for his classic Break-Tek set, which anyone who's attended a TNT event will have bounced to. More recently, Mooney is known for the strictly no-nonsense drum and base sets he plays at venues across the country. Having started producing five years ago, Mooney is now getting some really nice sounds out of Ableton Live. 2013 is shaping up to be a big year for Mooney with his first release coming up on Sub Generation Records. Watch this space for collaborations with Landrunner, Power and Mitosis- not forgetting big things to come from Mooney's own label 'Fully Loaded Records'.

|Mooney – 3Peaks – Release Date : 20th May 2013
The Man they call Mooney returns to Sub Generation Records with another installment of faced paced, raw to the core Drum And Bass goodness. This upbeat piece of dark D N B is not only engaging to the mind, body and soul, but leaves it's mark on the listener in the form of an addiction. Suffice then to say that if you play this track once, you'll be coming back to get a regular fix.
RELEASES : Mooney – Drum Maze
Release Date: 18th Feb 2013
It is with great pleasure that we introduce to Sub Generation Records the man they call Mooney. Crisp and solid production combine and the result is plain to hear; a dark sinister Drum and Bass beauty that will sit just perfectly in any knarly DnB set. The perfect marriage of punchy Kicks, percussion programming and deep perfected Bass licks combine with a fluid and dynamic sound scope to deliver a true work of genius.

Tibetan Wave by troycarneyWatch
©2010-2016 troycarney
Tibetan Wave, 24"x24" oil and 22k gold on textured wood bas-relief.
what does the symbols tell?, awesome work!, cheers!
Om Mani Padme Hum (Tibetan sanskrit meaning The Jewel in the Lotus). It's to remind us that like the human experiences of life the lotus can grow out of the slime and muck and still can blossom into a beautiful flower with a golden crown in it's center. We can all come from a rough past or upbringing but we all still hold that jewel that can blossom in side us.
You are a great artist, thanks to do that!
Is it possible to buy this piece? I live in the Philippines.
Sorry this one Sold. Thank you for your interest though.
Do you have other works of a similar style?
I have one wave left. You can see on you website www.troycarney.com what is left. When you click on a painting you will see the title and info below. If it has a black dot like this • at the end, it means it's sold. There is only one large wave left called Nalu Kai. I'm just starting a new piece that will be a Gold Wave painting for the 2011 Triple Crown Surf Contest on Oahu here in Hawaii. I will hopefully have it up here to view by the 4th of march.
Beautiful technique you've developed there. I really like the Cloud Break piece. How much is Nalu Kai (I'm from the Philippines, but don't factor in the shipping costs just yet)?
Beautiful and amazing. Definitely something different.
this is a very interesting concept. i would not have thought of combining tibet and an ocean since... tibet is nowhere near an ocean... but it fits really well together. i like it! (:
Thanks Kilocopter. Yeah your right, no waves in the Tibet. That's what make's this piece weirdly different. They find Conch Shells in the Himalayan Mountains that the Tibetan monks use and the finest Sea Salt in the world from when the Himalayas when it was all an ancient sea bed. If there was an ocean with mountains popping out......there was waves. But that's not what this piece is about. This one in breaking right now in my brain

Meet Mumpower, judge for yourself
Published: Wednesday, October 1, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 30, 2008 at 6:21 p.m.
To The Editor: May I suggest that readers do not believe any letter pro or contrary for Carl Mumpower. My husband and I have heard Councilman Mumpower speak and our letters reflect on his stance.
Make it your business to hear him, forming your own opinions and remember Rep. Shuler has not made his plans known on drilling for oil and where, taxes (fair or consumptive), campaign finance reform, paid or no paid retirement from Congress, pay raises (currently passed automatically), the special healthcare plans he now enjoys though he is a multimillionaire, following the Bible and the Constitution as written or not, continue deficit spending or resisting it as Mumpower proposes (to address) our national debt.
Will he illuminate hidden earmarks and other forms of excess? Hear both their views about veteran affairs answers directly from their lips. A forum is to be held at 7 p.m. Oct. 2 in Cherokee Courthouse in Murphy.
Rep. Shuler is a Democrat influenced fully by Nancy Pelosi who allows him to vote for some bills that farmers want just before an election very smart.
Carl Mumpower will fight for Country First no matter on whose toes he treads. God Bless America and our troops.

NEW YORK — The similarities are chilling. But the differences are telling.
Rockies first baseman Todd Helton is dealing with back pain. That sentence is usually followed by the mention of a magnetic resonance imaging test, or a trip to the disabled list. Helton hasn't reached that point because this is not the same injury that sabotaged him last June.
Helton's back locked up on the right side Friday, an injury he traces to a hard slide at second base against the Pirates in Pittsburgh. Last season, his back ached on the left side, sapping his strength in his back and legs.
"It's not the same thing. I still feel strong. That obviously wasn't the case last season," Helton said.
Nonetheless, Helton didn't start for the fourth consecutive game Monday. He took batting practice, hitting a few home runs, and fielding groundballs. He flew out to center field as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning. The reality is if the Rockies entered Monday 2-6 instead of 6-2, Helton might have been placed on the DL to retrieve another bat from Triple-A. But the Rockies can afford to be patient because they have legitimate replacement options in veterans Ty Wigginton and Jason Giambi to play first base.
"I am not going to go out and just survive. When I get back in there, I need to be able to do damage," said the 37-year-old Helton, who is hitting .263 with a home run. "Ten years ago, I could just survive and be fine. It's not like that anymore. I have to be smart."
Jimenez, De La Rosa updates.
Everything is on track for the Rockies' big man to face the Giants on Monday at Coors Field.
Ubaldo Jimenez's right thumb cuticle has healed. He will throw a 90-pitch game Wednesday in extended spring training. Former Mets star Ron Darling had the cuticle issue during his career, with a scar on his right thumb to prove it.
"It's just one of those things you have to battle through. You can change your grip a little, but there's no easy fix," Darling said.
Jorge De La Rosa threw a side session before Monday's game. The blister on his left middle finger, which has abbreviated his first two outings, has healed. "It's not an issue," De La Rosa said.
Rafael Betancourt's dip in fastball velocity over the weekend was not related to last season's groin injury. The wet conditions in Pittsburgh caused a timid delivery. . . . Reliever Felipe Paulino continues to deal with tightness in his right groin. . . . Ian Stewart (hamstring, flu) started for just the third time this season, ending his hitless streak at 13 at-bats with a fourth-inning single.

Hidden Block
From the Super Mario Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
A Hidden Block an invisible block that contains coins, a star or random items in the Mario Party series. Its appearance changes with each game, sometimes resembling Brick Blocks, other times looking more like a small Treasure Chest. They only appear after landing on a Blue Space. It can give out anywhere from five to twenty coins or give out items such as Skeleton Keys, or even Stars.
Mario Party DS[edit]
In Mario Party DS, there are four kinds of Hidden Blocks.
There is also an one-time use item called a Block Sensor that makes a Hidden Block appear on the space the player lands on after using it.

Regulus – Just when you think you know a starBy Doug on June 25, 2008 at 1:13 am | In Astrophysics, Blog Posts | 1 Comment
Looking out at the night sky, it is easy to believe that we've learned everything there is to know about the brightest stars. Fortunately, they keep surprising us! A delightful paper has just appeared on the astro-ph preprint server which combines many elements of a great story.
Regulus is the 22nd brightest star in the sky to the naked-eye. Since it lies along the path followed by the Sun, Moon and planets (called the "ecliptic"), bright planets frequently pass close to the line of sight to this majestic star. In fact, it is so close to the ecliptic that the Sun passes within a half degree of it every August. (Don't go looking for this event visually! If you want to see how close, check out the movie from the SOHO satellite here. The brightest object – besides the Sun! – is Saturn. Regulus pops out from behind the occulting disk right at the end of the MPEG.)
I first became more closely acquainted with Regulus during my postdoctoral fellowship at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory in Victoria, British Columbia (Canada). I would frequently use the 1.2m telescope with its fantastic high-resolution spectrograph. One of the shortcomings of filament bulbs is that there is precious little light emitted at the blue end of the spectrum – if you want to calibrate the pixel-to-pixel sensitivity of your detector, you can't get enough blue signal without saturating the red end. What to do, what to do … One fine solution is to observe a bright blue star which is rotating so quickly that all of its spectral lines are smeared out over many, many pixels. Enter Regulus! The few spectral lines in its spectrum were already broad hydrogen lines and the rotation rate of over 300 km/sec smeared them out even more. A great star for calibration.
And a very poor one for measuring the line-of-sight ("radial") velocity using the Doppler shift! In fact, astronomers last studied it for binarity in 1912-1913 – almost a century ago! Many hot stars are far enough away that lines from interstellar gas can be used as reference points for radial velocities. Not so Regulus – it is only 24 parsecs away and there just isn't enough gas along the line-of-sight to this neighbor of the Sun.
Regulus came back into favor when its shape and the brightness distribution could be measured by a very cool kind of optical instrument called an interferometer. Work by McAlister and collaborators using the CHARA long-baseline optical inteferometer they created on Mount Wilson found that Regulus is rotationally-flattened and it spinning at 86% of the speed at which the surface gas would cease to be bound to the star. They were able to show that it was darker along the equator of the star, too. This high rotation rate was an anomaly for a star that was as old as Regulus (apparently 150 million years – pretty old for a star of this mass) since similar stars seemed to be fast rotators only early in their lifetimes.
So Doug Gies and his collaborators embarked on a new study using modern instrumentation to see if there was any evidence of it orbiting the center-of-mass of a binary system containing it and a hitherto-unknown companion. As a bright star, there was plenty of light available to be dispersed by high-resolution spectrographs. They used several in their study including two "unusual ones" – the Kitt Peak National Observatory Coude Feed Telescope and the Multiple-Telescope Telescope!
Let me briefly describe these two instruments. A Coude room is very high-resolution spectrograph capable of tearing the light from a telescope into very fine shreds of color. It was designed to be "fed" by the 2.1m telescope at Kitt Peak. However, observatories tend to do deep imaging around the time of New Moon (i.e. when the sky is dark) and the 2.1m served a variety of such needs. It was realized that the a smaller telescope could "feed" the spectrograph during these periods and that brighter stars could be observed with that smaller telescope plus Coude spectrograph while the big telescope was busy imaging!
The Multiple-Telescope Telescope at Hard Labor Creek in Georgia is another ingenious system for bright star spectroscopy. It has nine relatively inexpensive 0.33m mirrors which focus onto nine optical fibers which then feed a stable, bench spectrograph. Since it only studies bright stars, the mirror pointings can each be individually-tweaked to center up on the bright star. It uses a cheap alt-azimuth mount and collects as much useful light as a 1.0 telescope for a tiny fraction of the cost of such a large telescope.
So – you are asking – what did Doug Gies and his collaborators find? They found that Regulus was indeed a spectroscopic binary. Once every 40.11 days, the system completes one orbit. Regulus itself has a mass of about 3.4 times that of the Sun. The companion of Regulus is much less massive – only about 0.30 solar masses. Such a small mass object is either a low-mass star or a white dwarf. The latter possibility provides an explanation for Regulus' rapid rotation! The idea is that the companion was once the more massive member of the pair and when it finished hydrogen burning in its core, it expanded dramatically and started losing mass to Regulus in a manner which "spun it up". A mass of 0.30 solar masses is very low for a white dwarf – such objects are found only in systems where it is clear that much mass has been transferred.
A final piece of the puzzle fell into place when spectra taken using the far-ultraviolet Spanish satellite MINISAT-01 were re-examined. When the expected contribution from Regulus was removed, light remained in the ultraviolet region of interest – consistent with a white dwarf but not a cool low-mass star. So Regulus joins the list of bright stars in the sky (which includes Sirius and Procyon) having white dwarf companions and proves once again that "three out of every two stars is a binary"!
Their paper has been accepted for publication in the prestigious Astrophysical Journal Letters.

In a very brief interview with Armen Keteyian of CBS, Penn State wide receivers coach Mike McQueary said his emotions are shaken "like a snow globe."
When asked if he had any idea when he would speak publicly about the scandal that has rocked Penn State, McQueary said, "This process has to play out. I just don't have anything else to say."
McQueary, who is on paid administrative leave after Penn State said he received multiple threats, went on to say his emotions are "all over the place. Just kinda shaken."
The interview aired Tuesday evening on the "CBS Evening News." Keteyian said during the report that McQueary told him off-camera that he was concerned about his personal life, his personal safety and his future in coaching.

What is the best way to fully experience and immerse in FLEFF?
Our first tip is to fully immerse--simply attend as much as you can on campus (free!) and at Cinemapolis (buy a festival pass for $20 at IC Bookstore).
Go beyond your comfort zone.
We also share our FLEFF Passport below.
Our interns,bloggers, team leaders, and festival mini-course students use the FLEFF Passport to experience the depth and breadth of FLEFF. And you can too.

This is SO badass
wonderfull man
Esto sólo reafirma mi agresividad...¬¬
nice job, i love the character and how you put it together, just wish you would have spent more time on the ghosts, it would look much more balanced, but still a good piece
hummm, maybe you are right! I'll think on it.
Yeah, but the ghosts do have a great aesthetic
well like i always say, everyone has a right to an opinion, and i have the right to think your opinion is crazy,lol, in no way are those spirits beautiful or gracefull, the outlines are mis-shapen, some would say wiggley, lol. overall the piece is great, but the spirits are not as good as the rest of the picture.....

Ratings for Dr. Jamil Bashir
Dr. Bashir operated on my husband Brian in May 2011. We were terrified, but he has this soothing way about him. After talking to different nurses and how they raved about him and his knowledge and commitment to his patients and just the way he handled getting things done , we were convinced Brian was in the best hands he could ever be in. Thank you so much for all you have done and all you are still doing for everyone who needs you. Marlene P. Langley, B.C. Marlene, Langley, B.C.
Dr. Bashir is a exceptional surgeon who has a beautiful human caring side as well. Two surgeons passed taking on my 79 year old Mother's very unique heart surgery. Dr. Bashir accepted her as a patient and performed the surgery flawlessly. She has recovered remarkably and thanks to Dr. Bashir she is fully living and enjoying her life again. We are forever grateful to him.
I received a quad bypass on May 30/2014 and wish there was a scoring mechanism above 'best'. Both my wife and I are retired Health Care Professionals and have very high standards.....Dr. Bashir sets the bar even higher than we imagined. Now if he could only fix the hospital food........
Dr. Bashir replaced my heart valve in June of this year, he is both an exceptional surgeon, and an exceptional person, we are fotunate to have him here in B.C.
DR. Bashir did an aortal replacement on me Apr.10th/2013.He was very attentive to my wife & I as she was more stressed than I was.I felt ready to leave on the 4th day after surgery but left on the 5th. 3 1/2 weeks later I feel GREAT!!Scarring will be minimal.Dr.Bashir did a fantastic job.Can't thank him and Jackie enough!! Bruce Bingham Whitehorse YT
Dr. Bashir is a brilliant surgeon. Given my dad's health condition, he successfully performed a difficult triple bypass surgery on him & he's doing great now. The before/after surgery care was amazing. We can't thank him enough.
Dr. Jamil Bashir is amazing! He performed a very difficult long surgery on my brother-in-law David's aorta on Thursday. Today is Monday, 4 days after and David is going home tomorrow morning in great shape! Can't thank you enough Dr. Bashir
He is a brilliant & compassionate person. It was a privelege for my father to be in his care. I would recommend this dynamic Dr. to anyone with cardiac issues. Blessings to you Dr. Bashir.
Dr. Bashir performed a triple by-pass on me in October of 2005 and now, almost two years later I continue to feel well and live a normal life. The night before the surgery he was with me (circumstances made the prep a hasty one although not a full blown emergency)explaining what he'd be doing. I recall a fascinating chat about the statistics of misadventure in this procedure, about which I was more curious than whether it would be beating heart or on the pump procedure. Sometime on the third day he spotted me walking about in the corridor, recognised me and we had an impromptu visit and check up right there. On a later follow-up visit he skillfully took me through a conversation that explored what drugs I was on, and should be on, my post-operative exercise and dietary regimens. Not to be flip, but I'd surely want him to fondle my heart again if that became necessary.
Dr. Jamil Bashir, operated on my husband in July of 2006. He was excellent in explained in great detail the procedures that would be used to save his life. It was also a procedure that had not been done before, and we were also explained the risk. Dr. Bashir visited my husband before the surgery many times and was always very friendly, and had the best bedside manner. When he left the room we felt confident and calm. He reassured us in a very stressful time. My husband is doing well, and we have Dr. Bashir and St. Paul's hospital to thank for their wonderful service to us. I couldn't and woundn't want any other doctor to preform heart surgery on my husband or any of my family. He is the very best in our opinion.

Peppermint Stick Potpourri
Immediately upon creating this blend, we had to set a basket of it in the kitchen, and now our mouths water whenever we go for coffee. Visually, this potpourri blend is all reds and whites. Aromatically, it'll have you pining for a candy cane. Peppermint Stick potpourri is perfect for the holiday season or anytime you'd like a little mint lingering around your home.
This potpourri blend comes in two sizes, both with scent-on-the-side: a large 9-10 ounce bag with a 1/2 ounce bottle of oil, or a 1-lb. bag with a full ounce bottle of oil. Scent-on-the-side lets you control how light or strong you want your potpourri to be, and we've included enough scented oil to keep your potpourri smelling great for far longer than most other potpourri brands you can buy. Instructions on applying the oil (and an oil dropper) are included with each order.

Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $8.00 strike price has a current bid of 05 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of OPK stock at the current price level of $7.10/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $8.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return of 13.38% if the stock gets called away at the July expiration (before broker commissions). If course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if OPK shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Opko Health Inc, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing OPK's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $8.00 strike highlighted in red:

text: Duke Dumont - The Giver by Turbo Recordings published on 2012-09-04T18:08:16Z DUKE DUMONT - FOR CLUB PLAY ONLY VOL. 2 Turbo Recordings presents the second in a series of club-vanquishing EPs from @dukedumont. Following the rapturous reception of his first club-centric EP for Turbo, as well as remixes for Santigold and the forthcoming AlunaGeorge single, UK superproducer Duke Dumont returns to tighten his stranglehold on the worldwide nightgeist with FOR CLUB PLAY ONLY VOL. 2, this time training his sights on the Vocal Anthem heavyweight title. A-side "No Money Blues" brings UK bass and deep house into the realm of crossover pop, while "The Giver" is an ecstatic vocal house anthem that would fit seamlessly alongside the most uplifting MURK classics. These are probably the two most "feel-good" tracks we will put out all year, but the impeccable level of quality actually lets you "feel good" about "feeling good." This EP positions Dumont as the versatile international hitmaker we know him to be, establishing a globe-spanning Dukedom to unite us all.

Third (Portishead album)
|Studio album by Portishead
|27 April 2008
|Portishead chronology
|Singles from Third
Third is the third studio album by English band Portishead. It was released on 27 April 2008 on Island Records in the United Kingdom, 29 April on Mercury Records in the United States and 30 April on Universal Music Japan in Japan. Third was Portishead's first studio album in 11 years and moved away from their earlier trip hop style, with influences including krautrock, surf rock, doo wop and the film soundtracks of John Carpenter. It received critical acclaim and was listed as one of the best albums of 2008 by several publications.
In 1998, following three years of Portishead tours and a divorce, drummer and songwriter Geoff Barrow put Portishead on hiatus and went to Australia. He told Drowned in Sound: "I couldn't find anything I liked musically in anybody, in anything." Portishead guitarist and keyboardist Adrian Utley joined him to work on new material, but they were not satisfied with the results.[4]
In 2003, Barrow wrote "Magic Doors", which he described as "an opening ... then we ended up going back and forth, hating everything and then liking everything, and we had to decide whether to carry on." He and Utley co-produced the 2005 Coral album The Invisible Invasion; the process proved inspiring, as, according to Barrow, "here's me and Ade, these older dudes, too scared to even play a note because we were scared we'd hate it, and there's them, just being able to write a soundtrack in an afternoon."[4]
Portishead self-produced Third in their Bristol studios. Many of the album's songs existed for years as sketches, with the members exchanging recordings and adding ideas.[5] By 2006, Portishead had prepared "six or seven" tracks; Barrow said most of the record was written during a "spurt" at the end of 2007.[4]
Wanting to move away from the "trademark" trip hop sound of their first two albums, Portishead avoided using instruments they had used before; Barrow said "the basic thing was to sound like ourselves, not to repeat ourselves."[6] The band experimented with swapping roles; Barrow played bass, and singer Beth Gibbons played guitar on "Threads". Utley said Portishead were "looking for limited frequency in instruments ... limited playing, too. I pursued virtuosity for many years, learning scales and harmony, and being able to improvise through scales and chords, but technique isn't important for me any more."[5]
For the first track, "Silence", Barrow initially sampled a record that had a spoken-word Portuguese introduction. Inspired by a Wiccan theory about the number three, the band wrote a "manifesto", had it translated into Portuguese, then recreated the sample with the new words to introduce the album. To create a "deliberately harsh" effect, the band did not synchronise the guitar's delay effect with the song's tempo, creating asynchronous echoes.[5]
Portishead used several analog synthesisers, including a Korg MS-20, ARP 2600, Siel Orchestra and VCS 3. They also used a clavioline, an electronic keyboard that predates the synthesiser. The Siel Orchestra's sequencer was not sophisticated enough to play the arpeggios in "The Rip", so the band recorded the notes individually and edited them into an arpeggio pattern. Utley played a toy acoustic guitar he found in a junk shop.[5]
"Deep Water" was inspired by Steve Martin's performance of "Tonight You Belong to Me" in the 1979 film The Jerk.[5] Utley was initially unimpressed with Barrow's idea for the song, and said: "I couldn't get with it at all, didn't like it. Geoff said he wanted to put these backing vocals on it, and I said I was having nothing to do with it. We didn't argue, I just conceded on that."[5]
To create the rhythm in "Machine Gun", Portishead sampled the drum machine in an old electronic organ. The song's synthesiser outro was inspired by the film soundtracks of John Carpenter.[5] For "Magic Doors", the band added hurdy-gurdy, and saxophone played by Will Gregory of Goldfrapp. According to Utley, "we made him be a free jazz player that day ... we told him just to go fucking mad, to freak the fuck out. He had to move out of the room, so we couldn't see him, so he'd feel less inhibited."[5]
Third departs from Portishead's trip hop sound, the genre they had made famous with their albums Dummy (1994) and Portishead (1997).[7][8] It contains no turntable scratching, a hallmark of their earlier albums.[7] Gareth Grundy of Q wrote that "Third's sole link with the past is Gibbons' voice ... Everything else has been binned, the hip hop, the cinematic feel, the lot."[9] Instead, the album contains "muscular" synthesisers, drum breaks and abrupt endings, with "propulsive" krautrock rhythms,[10] break beats, cathedral organ, "Moroccan drones" and surf rock.[11] The AV Club wrote that singer Gibbons "sounds more hollowed-out and harrowed than ever, a human nervous twitch on too much coffee and too little sleep".[7]
The opening track, "Silence", has a "propulsive" drum loop and "Morse code"-like guitar.[12] "We Carry On" has a "claustrophobic" two-note electro riff; Rolling Stone likened the track to the work of the American psychedelic band Silver Apples.[11] "Deep Water" is a "ukulele doo-wop".[10] "Machine Gun" is driven by a "mechanical rhythm" that gives way to synthesisers Drowned in Sound likened to the soundtracks of the 1980s films The Terminator and Blade Runner.[12] "Magic Doors" features "huge" piano chords, "tick-tocking" cowbell, and "corrupted" brass.[12]
Release and promotion[edit]
Third was released on 27 April 2008 on Island Records in the United Kingdom,[13] 29 April Mercury Records in the United States,[citation needed] and 30 April on Universal Music Japan in Japan.[citation needed] It entered the UK Albums Chart at #2[14] and the US Billboard 200 at #7,[15] becoming Portishead's first US top 10 record.
On 8 and 9 December 2007, Portishead curated the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in Minehead, England, and performed their first full sets in nearly 10 years, including tracks from Third.[16] On 21 January 2008, Portishead announced a European tour to support the album,[17] with a headline spot at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on 26 April 2008,[18] their only US date on the tour.
On 21 April 2008, a week before its release, Third was made available as a free stream on Last.fm, attracting 327,000 listeners in 24 hours. It was the first time Last.fm had made an album available before its release.[19]

At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews and ratings from mainstream critics, Third has a metascore of 85 based on 38 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim."[20]
In his review for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine said Third was "genuinely, startlingly original" and "utterly riveting and endlessly absorbing".[2] The A.V. Club's Michaelangelo Matos wrote that "nearly every track provides some little sonic goody midway through as a reward for continued attention after all these years. For once, it's worth the effort."[7] Reviewing Third for Drowned in Sound, Nick Southall wrote that "several individual songs drift by almost unnoticed at first, contributing little more than a sense of unease to the collective memory of the album; an impression of oppression. Those numbers that do stand out, though, drag the record close to magnificence."[12] Guardian reviewer Jude Rogers found that the album "is initially more a record to admire than to love ... But after several listens, Third's majesty unfurls."[10]
Louis Pattison of NME wrote that Third was "adventurous, sometimes dauntingly so – but seldom anything less than compelling" and declared it "Portishead's best album yet."[22] PopMatters' Alan Ranta wrote that "history will eventually see it rank on par with the rest of [Portishead's] legendary works".[23] Pitchfork Media's Nate Patrin awarded the album the website's "best new music" accolade, writing that it was "a staggering transformation and a return to form that was never lost, an ideal adaptation by a group that many people didn't know they needed to hear again."[3] Rolling Stone magazine's Rob Sheffield found Third to be "an unexpected yet totally impressive return",[11] and Mike Bruno of Entertainment Weekly said it was a "less immediately accessible effort than Portishead's more groove-oriented earlier work, but it's no less gorgeous."[8] Gareth Grundy of Q gave the record three stars out of five and was disappointed that Portishead had moved away from their earlier sound, writing: "Third will probably be more admired than listened to ... Dummy was a challenging record that just happened to find an audience. Third merely turns up the black until the darkness is overwhelming."[9]
Third was named the best album of 2008 by PopMatters,[26] second best by Pitchfork,[27] ninth by the Guardian,[28] and 25th by the NME.[29]

Southwestern Historical Quarterly
Readers should be aware, however, that Campbell's account does not span his
entire career but only the period from his enlistment in March 1862 through his
return to Texas in October 1862, where he was sent to recover from a wound he
received at Second Manassas. The brevity of the journal leaves one wishing that
Campbell had finished his reminiscences because the information he provides is
interesting and useful.
The editors, Skoch and Perkins, filled in the gaps about Campbell's life for
the reader, though. Campbell returned to his regiment and was wounded again
at Chickamauga. Unable to resume his place in the ranks, he was assigned to
brigade staff as a courier. He received a final wound at Darbytown Road and was
sent home. Undaunted, he was planning to organize a cavalry company when
the war ended.
The editors have linked Campbell to one of the ANV's most dramatic
episodes. On May 6, 1864, Gen. R. E. Lee ordered the remnants of Hood's
Texas Brigade to drive the Federals from the field. After giving the order to
advance, Lee rode forward with the brigade as it marched toward battle. Men
and officers of the brigade as well as Lee's own staff demanded that he turn
back, shouting "Lee to the rear!" As a courier on brigade staff, Campbell wit-
nessed the event and left a account of the affair in October 1868 in a periodical
entitled The Land We Love.
The editors have taken a brief diary and turned it into an important docu-
ment that anyone interested in Hood's Texas Brigade needs to read. They pre-
served his grammar and spelling, something that lets Campbell's character show.
They provide endnotes that identify or explain people or events that may not be
clear in the text. The maps are well done although Campbell's regiment is not
always as clearly identified as it could have been.
Lone Star Confederate is the type of book that appeals to both scholar and gener-
al reader. The first will find it valuable for the historical details it contains. The
latter will find it a compelling tale of a young man at war. The book works on
both levels and Skoch and Perkins are to be thanked for bringing it to light.

text: Carl R. Woese: 1928 – 2012 | The Institute for Genomic Biology His greatest discovery was a major revision of the overall tree of life. When he started to get to work on that question in the mid-1970's, he and his colleagues believed that the biggest distinction was between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. But he wanted to learn more. He looked for some biological molecule that might be ubiquitous and convenient to sequence, and he decided on small-subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA). Back then, it was difficult to sequence a whole strand, so he cut it up with an enzyme and then sequenced the fragments. But that proved good enough. Typical sizes of ribosomal-RNA strands: Escherichia coli bacterium: small: 1542 nt, large: 2906 nt Human: small: 1869 nt, large: 5070 nt, some extras: 121 nt, 156 nt nt = nucleotides He put a lot of organisms' SSU rRNA through his sequencing setup, and he compared the sequences that he found. He made a remarkable discovery, which he published in 1977. There was a deep split in the prokaryotes, a split so deep that it was comparable to the split with the eukaryotes that he also found. On one side were most of the more familiar prokaryotes, like disease organisms. On the other side was a motley collection of mostly free-living organisms that are often averse to oxygen, and that sometimes inhabit extreme conditions like great heat and acidity. That other side seemed to CW to be the sort of organisms that would do well in the early Earth before the emergence of oxygen-releasing photosynthesis. He decided to named them "archaebacteria" or Archaea. The more familiar ones he named Eubacteria or Bacteria. So he came up with a classification featuring three side-by-side domains: Eubacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya (eukaryotes). At first, CW's split of the prokaryotes did not seem very well-supported to some biologists -- the Eubacteria and Archaea seemed more alike than different. However, subsequent research found other gene sequences and various phenotypic features that are consistent with this early split, and by the late 1980's, Woese's three-domain system had become generally accepted. Features like: DNA-polymerase structure - that's the enzyme that replicates the DNA in the genome Membrane-lipid structure Opposite asymmetries of the glycerol's central carbon Fatty acids -- A: isoprene polymer (branched-chain), B: straight chain Fatty acids to glycerol -- A: ether-linked, B: ester-linked Some Archaea have membrane lipids that extend across the cell membrane Initial amino acid of a protein -- A: methionine, B: formylmethionine Resistance to various antibiotics, diphtheria toxin, etc. But over the last decade or so, a challenge has emerged to CW's three-domain system: the status of Eukarya. By the late 1980's, the endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts had become well-established, but what about the rest of the cell? As far as can be determined, the informational systems of Eukarya are much like those of Archaea, while many metabolic enzymes are closer to Eubacteria. So was the ancestral eukaryote an archaeon-eubacterium symbiosis? Even more difficult for CW's three-domain system is where the eukaryote informational systems branched off from. The three-domain system would picture branching off before the diversification of the ancestors of the present-day Archaea. But there are some studies that claim that those systems branched off from inside Archaea. So we go from 3 to 2 taxa in the highest-level branching of the Tree of Life. Let's see what's happened over the centuries. Aristotle ~350 BCE, Carolus Linnaeus 1735: Plantae, Animalia Ernst Haeckel 1966: Protista, Plantae, Animalia Herbert F. Copeland 1938: Monera, Protista, Plantae, Animalia (Monera = prokaryotes) Édouard Chatton, Stanier, van Niel 1960's: Prokaryota (Monera), Eukaryota (Protista, Plantae, Animalia) Robert Whittaker 1969: Prokaryota (Monera), Eukaryota (Protista, Plantae, Fungi, Animalia) Carl Woese 1977: Eubacteria / Bacteria, Archaebacteria / Archaea, Eukarya James Lake 1984: Bacteria, Archaea (including Eukarya: the eocyte hypothesis)

I'm certain I observed the Serapeia in early April 2014, and in looking at my journal, it appears I paid some attention to the Megala Antinoeia in late March while somewhat half-heartedly observing Holy Week and the Paschal Triduum with the Episcopal Church. 592 more words

PHILADELPHIA Ś Doug Collins was asked Sunday about his starting five for the season opener. The 76ersÆ coach, playfully, took umbrage with the inquiry.
ōYou want to put this on the website for the fans? Is that what you want to do?ö Collins said with a big grin.
Ultimately, Collins confessed that he has a lineup Ś a first-draft of one, at least Ś in line for WednesdayÆs opener against Denver. He said heÆs leaning toward using Lavoy Allen and Thad Young in the frontcourt, and Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner and Jason Richardson in the backcourt.
More importantly, though, was CollinsÆ description of how heÆll handle personnel to close out games.
The Sixers, due to a roster of physical limitations, had trouble last season determining who should be on the floor for the final minutes of games. ThatÆs why Collins spent more than two minutes Sunday, following the teamÆs practice at PCOM, talking about particular scenarios in which heÆd look to plug certain players.
One is going to be Dorell Wright. The eighth-year man, who can play the shooting guard, small forward and power forward spots, gives the Sixers the kind of bench flexibility that should come in handy in crunch time. Wright, for the bulk of his career, has been viewed as a specialist. HeÆs been a defensive stopper, a 3-point catalyst, a minutes-eater, a starter, a high-energy reserve. Wright said Collins has given him the flexibility to do all of the above.
ōNow IÆve been able to play for a coach whoÆs going to let me and allow me to expand my game and play and do everything,ö Wright said. ōI had a chance to do a little bit in Golden State, so IÆm happy I get an opportunity to show everything now.ö
WrightÆs size (6-9, 200) and skills create matchup problems for the SixersÆ opponents. At times in the preseason, Collins has inserted Wright into games in which he desperately needs defensive rebounding, and Wright responded with an average of four boards per game during the exhibition slate.
WrightÆs penchant for knocking down outside shots gives the SixersÆ offense an added wrinkle late in games. Wright shot 12-for-25, at a 48 percent clip, from 3-point range in the preseason. He, Richardson and Nick Young could be called upon to close out games because of their ability to bomb away.
ōThatÆs the most important part of any game, closing the game out,ö Wright said. ōWe have so many different guys who could be going every night. It could be different every night. Guys have to know you just have to sacrifice those minutes. If someoneÆs going good, weÆll stick with them.ö
Maalik Wayns practiced for the first time since Thursday, when he suffered a head contusion.
The undrafted rookie looked solid during the teamÆs scrimmage, running the second-team offense. He contributed a pair of fastbreak layups, including one on which he hit the hardwood with Thad Young tumbling on top of him.
ōIÆve been playing like that since the playgrounds, since I was a kid, so IÆm used to falling like that,ö said Wayns, a Villanova product. ōI was having headaches for a couple days. ThatÆs why (Collins) wouldnÆt let me practice (Friday). Today, just a slight headache. The headacheÆs fully gone now. IÆm fine.ö
Kwame Brown also practiced, though his rotations in the scrimmage took place before the Sixers opened the session to reporters.
Collins said Brown, the veteran center who missed five preseason games with a left calf strain, worked in a shift with Spencer Hawes Ś a combination the coach would like to have available off his bench opening night.
ōHe looked good. He ran well today,ö Collins said of Brown. ōWe wanted to get him out of there before he fatigued. A lot of times when you have a little bit of a muscle pull, you want to stay away from that leg getting a little weak or maybe you could do it again. But I thought he looked good. I think heÆs on pace, from where he is now, heÆll be ready to go.ö

I shadowed Mr. O'Connor for a mediation in Sonoma County. He was excellent in his approach toward the parties and resolution. I believe both sides and parties found the ultimate resolution appropriate, and were themselves more than satisfied with the efforts of Mr. O'Connor in obtaining the resolution. I would not hesitate to use him as a mediator.

Children of the plantation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article does not cite any sources. (February 2009)
"Children of the plantation" was a euphemism used in the 17th-century United States to identify the offspring of black slave women by their white owners. Such children, who were legally slaves, were seldom acknowledged by their white fathers.[citation needed]
Alex Haley's Queen (1993) is a partly factual historical novel, now made into a movie, that has helped to bring knowledge of the "children of the plantation" to publication attention in recent years.

Let's take a couple of minutes and let me give you the most important Sunscreen Facts. First, let's learn about the suns rays.
The sun gives off UVB Rays and UVA Rays. Some sunscreens only block the UVB rays and not the UVA rays. To protect ourselves we want to block both of kinds of rays.
Every time you get a sunburn, you increase your chance of getting skin cancer at a later date. If you get a sunburn, you have exposed yourself to much of the suns UVA rays.
UVA Rays are what wrinkle our skin. They also are the rays that cause cancer. Use a product that has zinc or titanium minerals in it to block the UVA rays.
The sun gives out UVA rays in the same amount year around. They are not stronger in the summer when the earth is closer to the sun. UVA rays can go through glass. So that's why I only wear polarized sunglasses to protect my eyes. To much UVA rays causes cataracts. When driving, know that these rays go through windshields. These rays penetrate to the deeper layers of your skin. UVA rays are 20 more abundant than UVB rays.
UVB Rays are the rays that tan our skin. Or burn our skin. These rays are strongest in the summer months, because that is when we our earth is closer to the sun. UVB rays penetrate only the top layer of our skin.
UVB rays do not penetrate glass. These are the rays that give us the much needed vitamin D. These are the rays that can be blocked by the SPF in sunscreen. To much of these rays, can cause cataracts in your eyes as well.
Sunscreen and lotions are great. And we need them. But the first line of defense needs to be protective clothing if you're going to be out in the sun. Shirts, hats and polarized sunglasses need to be worn by all of us when out in the sun.
The hottest part of the day is from 10 am till 4 pm. The best of time to be outside on a hot day is in the morning hours and in the evening hours. For best results do you're best to put sunscreen on at least 30 minutes before going out into the hot sun. No matter what kind of sunscreen you chose to wear, reapply it every two hours. And if it is a cloudy day, don't let your guard down. The suns UVB and UVA rays, are still out.
UVB rays and UVA rays cause free radicals. Free radicals damage our skin. They also cause cancer. They damage skin cells and DNA. Sunscreen protects our skin from burning. Sunscreens are designed to absorb the free radicals when we are out in the sun. The problem is the chemicals in sunscreens give off free radicals of their own.
An effective sunscreen prevents more free radical damage (from UV rays) than it creates through its own free radical outpouring. Sunscreen makers commonly add antioxidants to their products to soak up free radicals from either source, UV rays or the sunscreen itself.
Always use a cream or a gel when choosing a sunscreen. Sprays and powders are the worse. When you use a spray or use a powder, you maybe inhaling the chemicals.
It's easy to think that you will get more protection from the sun with a product that says SPF 50 verses a product that says SPF 15. SPF stands for sun protection from UVB rays. Our skins loves the sun. But we can be in the sun only for 10 minutes before we need protection from it.
Take 10 minutes and times it by the protection. For example SPF 50 would be 10 X 50 = 500. This means that SPF 50 is good for 500 minutes in the sun. If you were looking at SPF 15, you would take 10 X 15 = 150. Meaning SPF 15 allows you to be in the for 150 minutes. The higher the SPF, the longer you can stay out in the sun.
However, it's not that simple. Water, sweat and toweling off all remove sunscreen from our skin. No matter what the bottle may say. To be safe, reapply sunscreen every two hours no matter what SPF you chose to use. That means an SPF of 15 is just as effective as a higher SPF.
Put on more sunscreen than you think. The majority of us do not put enough on to begin with.
In one word....chemicals. Most sunscreens have a lot of chemicals in them. Our skin is our largest organ and it's a huge sponge. A lot of products today have vitamin A in them. Vitamin A accelerates the development of skin tumors and lesions when exposed to the sun.
sunscreen products have a chemical called, oxybenzone. This is a
hormone-disrupting compound that actually goes through our skin and into
our blood stream. So if you don't want to mess up your hormones, stay clear of products that have oxybenzone in them.
little bit of sun is very good for us. When we are in the sun with no
protection, we give our bodies vitamin D. We all need this vitamin.
Vitamin D is sometimes called the sun vitamin.
This is a vitamin that strengthens our bones. It also boosts the immune
system, reduces the risk of various cancers (including breast, colon,
kidney, and ovarian cancers) and it regulates at least 1,000 different genes
governing virtually
every tissue in the body. 10 minutes a day of direct sunlight will give your body all the vitamin D that it needs.
The perfect sunscreen would completely block both UVA rays and UVB rays. This way you wouldn't get a sunburn, have your immune system suppressed or get damaged by free radicals. Your skin would be protected for several hours and no harmful ingredients would go into you. It would smell and feel great. And it wouldn't be a big deal to put on.
Well, here is a sunscreen fact that stinks: there is no such product. So we do the best we can with what we have. And the 10 products that I recommend below are all excellent choices. Again, there is no substitute for proper clothing, hat and sunglasses. There is no chemicals in clothing!
For the times when we need sunscreen, let's pick a product that protects us from UVB rays and UVA rays. A product that doesn't put free radicals into us. Besides, when we're swimming we just can't wear a hat!
Now that you know the sunscreen facts, see the top 10 winners below!
#1 Soleo Organics

#4 UV Natural Sunscreen
#5 Mexitan Sunscreen
#6 Lavera Sunscreen Lotion

The top 10 choices (out of 500 sunscreens that were reviewed) all give excellent UVB and UVA protection. They have zinc or titanium minerals to protect you from the suns UVA rays. None of the products contain oxybenzone or vitamin A nor do they have hormone disruptors.

[VIDEO] A Walk Around the 2011 Corvette Z06X Track-Ready Concept
When Chevrolet introduced the 2011 Corvette Z06X at last fall's SEMA show, we said at the time that Chevy had created one of the most exciting concepts to date. After seeing and hearing the Z06X Concept up close and personal at last month's Twelve Hours of Sebring, it reaffirmed our call for Chevrolet to build it.
Chevy created the track ready concept to show what can be done utilizing GM Performance Parts. Teaming up with Corvette Racing partner Pratt & Miller, a 1LZ Z06 was stripped down and then optioned up with the Z07 performance package and the CFZ carbon fiber package. Other carbon fiber parts include the ZR1's roof and b-pillars and the Z06 Carbon Edition's raised hood. The radio, carpeting and sound-deadening materials were removed, along with the passenger seat.
Competition-themed parts were then added to create the Z06X: An adjustable carbon fiber rear wing, polycarbonate rear window, racing seat with safety harness and a full roll cage with camera mount. Other enhancements included Pfadt's adjustable coil-over struts and stabilizer bars, racing wheels and Genuine Corvette Accessories (GCA) racing pedals.
Finally, a low gloss Icy White Metallic paint covers the concept and one of our favorite appearance features, the black tail, completes the look.
Here is a walk-around video of the Corvette Z06X race-ready concept from Sebring. Being in the right place at the right time, we were able to capture the Corvette running as they were pulling it into the Corvette Corral for Saturday's display:
We hope that members of the Corvette Team continue to ask Corvette owners their thoughts on whether the automaker should offer the turn-key racer. Our vote is a resounding yes!

2010 SEMA: 2011 Corvette Z06X Track Car Concept
omg! please, please, please! build this car, its amazing I've never heard something so beastly. this car needs to be produced.
I like the looks and sounds of the C6 corvettes and hope to own one some day. I'm finding it hard to believe that GM could sell enough of these so called "track ready" corvettes to earn a return on their investment, especially with corvette sales barely 12000 or so each year.

Level of DifficultyA Bit Difficult
Time to do repair:30 - 60 mins
CustomerSolomon from Irving, TX
Bought a replacement gasket for the Refrigerator to solve the leaking air problem. After replacing the gasket, nothing changed, so it appears the problem is the door itself, so if you have a separation between in the gasket, be sure it's the gasket and not the door itself.

CustomerRobert from Woodstock, IL
First I went on line and found detailed instructions how to do it. I also covered the frig with a large piece of card board to keep the "cool" in to some degree. I put the new gasket in a tub of hot water. I unloaded the door. Loosed all the screws..pulled off old gasket/seal.... carefully put the new one on the door. This was tedious but okay. then I tightend the screws. Closed teh door...made adjustments ..leveled the refrigerator... checked for leaks by putting a flashlight in the frig and closing the door. I also used a dryer to help the seal form easier. awesome! Like a new refrigerator.
Level of DifficultyReally Easy
ToolsNutdriver, Screw drivers, Socket set
CustomerTed from Eatonville, WA
Step 1: Removed door because I wanted to change the opening from left to right. Step 2: Place door on 2 saw horses and remove gasket with a nut driver. Step 3: Install new gasket. Step 4: Reinstall refrigerator and freezer doors.I found this proceedure to be one of the easiest I have ever accomplished.
Level of DifficultyEasy
Time to do repair:15 - 30 mins
ToolsScrew drivers
CustomerShihching from Virginia Beach, VA
Unscrewed the old gasket (took off about 24 screws) and screwed in the new gasket. Be careful as the entire door shelf comes off when all the screws come out. Have someone hold the shelf so it won't fall during gasket removal and install.
ToolsNutdriver, Screw drivers
CustomerWilliam from Brooklyn, OH
First I read other repair stories which really helped. I decided to leave the door on and use a 1/4" nutdriver plus a flat blade screwdriver. I loosed the screws on one side at a time. I pulled off the old seal and replaced with the new, using the flat blade to help tuck the seal in as needed. I also had to use a hair dryer to soften the new seal at some places in order to form it properly. Overall, I had great success!
