Actress and director Carmen Chaplin attended the amfAR's annual Cinema Against AIDS benefit aimed at raising funds and AIDS awareness.
Radiating supreme elegance, Carmen Chaplin was wearing a vintage creation from Jaeger-LeCoultre uniting the arts of exceptional watchmaking and fine jewellery.
A High Jewellery secret watch dating from the 1960s in platinum and white gold adorned with around 119 diamonds strikes the perfect balance between beauty, refinement and telling the time.
Earlier this year Carmen Chaplin directed a short movie 'A Time For Everything' which pays tribute to time, heritage and reveals the Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox watch of her grand-father, Charlie Chaplin, from 1953.
"I am intrigued by the fact that they have been ticking steadily for more than a century. – said Carmen referring to Jaeger-LeCoultre vintage watches.- My grandfather's watch particularly moves me, because he gave it to my father, Michael Chaplin, his son, when he turned 14. Then my dad gave it to my mum as proof of their love on their wedding day. It was a real good-luck charm because they have been in love now for 45 years".

The Friends of Beeghly Library at Heidelberg University cooked the books again, without fear of prosecution. Friends and guests, nearly 100 in all, gathered for the fourth annual edible Books Fest April 5 in the Heidelberg Campus Center Great Hall. Forty-five people brought edible books--culinary creations reminiscent of books they had read. The event takes place on or around April Fools Day each year. Guests were entertained by the visual and verbal puns on book titles in the table centerpieces by Trinity Lescallett.
Judges for the evening were James Troha, interim president of Heidelberg University; Jennifer Troha; Dennis Schultice, director of Aramark Campus Dining Service at Heidelberg; Jeff Whisler, manager of Bob Evans Farm Restaurant in Tiffin; and Kiuko Sanders, retired professor of Japanese and gourmet chef.
Judges awarded blue ribbon certificates to the following Edible Book chefs: Most Delicious award was presented to Aramark Dining Service for "Murder on the Orient Express;" Most Humorous, Mike Burlile, "Gummy Jello;" Most Creative, Debby Roszman, "Pineapple Croc;" Most Artistic, Larry Craig, "Jam Sandwich;" Most Professional entry, Pat Craig, "Patty's Patch." In addition to the five prizes awarded by the judges, guests were able to vote for their favorite, naming Linda Detwiler the winner with "Hunger's Game."
Winners of additional door prizes supplied by area businesses were drawn. Sponsors included: Aramark Campus Dining Service, Ballreich Brothers, Bob Evans Farm Restaurant, Clover Club, East of Chicago Pizza, GW's Restaurant, Golden Crown Restaurant, Happy Garden Restaurant, Heritage IGA, Java Rave, Little Hugo's Ice Cream, Mane Cinsations, McCartan's Grocery, Molyet's Farm Market, Paulette's Restaurant, Paper and Ink, Pioneer Mill Restaurant, the Pit Stop, Ralph's Joy of Living, Reino's Pizza and Pasta, T.J.

Welcome to the Game of Thrones Wiki for the HBO television series of the same name. This Wiki is intended to act as a guide to the television series, not as a general resource for the novels. Those looking for a guide to the book series are referred to the Wiki of Ice and Fire maintained by the Westeros.org team, or the considerably less-developed Song of Ice and Fire Wikia.
This Wiki is based on the premise that the Game of Thrones television series, despite apparently being a faithful adaptation of the books, will likely diverge from the novels in key areas, and indeed already has done so through the addition of new scenes and dialogue in the pilot, the removal of some minor characters and actors varying from the detail of the descriptions in the novels. For this reason pages should only be started about subjects once it is known they will be in the TV series. For example, whilst it is highly probable that the castle of Storm's End will appear in the TV series, we have not heard anything about it so far in relation to the TV series, so starting a page about it at this time would not be appropriate. On the other hand, we know that Winterfell appears as filming has already taken place there. However, the appearance, layout and history of the TV version of Winterfell will likely be different to that established in the books, and information from the books should not be used to describe the TV version of Winterfell.
That said, the presence of a 'How the TV series differs from the books' section in the relevant articles is appopriate, but only if spoilers are avoided.
As the television series will not debut until early 2011, this means that current articles will largely be broad articles about the series itself, background information on actors and behind the scenes personnel, and notes on filming locations and dates.--Werthead 14:16, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
To clarify article and link-creation policy, we still don't know that everything in the books will be in the TV series. In fact, we know that Castle Darry has already been removed from the series (all the action that takes place there has been moved to either the Crossroads Inn or to Tywin's war camp), so there's no guarantee that places like Seagard, Stone Hedge etc will be mentioned in the show (and thus shouldn't be linked or covered on the wiki). At the same time, mentioning a unique place name and leaving it unlinked may be confusing. One possible answer would be to link those articles to the respective entry on the Wiki of Ice and Fire instead, but this would involve putting a spoiler warning after every such link, which could be tedious and messy. Thoughts?--Werthead 11:33, February 20, 2011 (UTC)
Fourth slider slot
Xean added a link to the book wiki in the fourth slot in the slider. I don't think we should be linking to that (not that much content and possible *major* spoilers), but I do agree that the slider looks wierd with the fourth slot empty.
Any ideas on what else we could fill it with? TOR 18:13, February 7, 2011 (UTC)
- Agreed. And the book Wikia is pretty dead now, if they're going to link to a book one, it should be to the Wiki of Ice and Fire hosted by the Westeros.org crew. My rec would be to a map of Westeros and a link on geography, exploring the Seven Kingdoms, that sort of thing :-) Great work from all the newcomers, by the way, it was getting lonely in here :-) Nice to have a new logo (from the Cyanide computer game, right?) as well, although we should replace it with the TV series logo as soon as HBO settle on a final version --Werthead 13:37, February 9, 2011 (UTC)
- My idea behind the TV wiki was that we'd cover only things directly related to the TV series, such as merchandise bearing the TV GoT and HBO logos. The computer game is not based on the HBO series, something I expect will be made clearer as we get closer to the game coming out (a bit like the time when there was LORD OF THE RINGS games coming out based separately on the books and the movies). In fact, if the TV series is a hit I suspect HBO will look at licensing out their own computer game based on the TV show. AWoIaF would be the correct venue for info on it, but they haven't done much in the way of creating pages based on merchandising yet. We could possibly mention it on a subsection of the book page, mentioning merchandising of various kinds, but I don't think it should get its own page as it is not affiliated directly with HBO (in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if people at HBO were debating asking them to change the name).--Werthead 19:29, February 16, 2011 (UTC)
- Well, I think it would make sense to expand this wiki's scope also to other licensed properties, not just the show or HBO-affiliated ones. I doubt that the AWoIaF community will have much interest in giving much of a focus to anything but the books themselves. But if you think it's a bad idea, I suppose we could set up a separate wiki for them. And I don't really see how HBO could force them to change the name - Martin holds the rights to that, and I doubt any of the non-HBO licensed products, like the board game, the computer game, the card game, etc. will be renamed (and they can be distinguished by "A Game of Thrones" vs. "Game of Thrones").

- I'll check with Ran to see what they want to do about pages on merchandising. If they're not keen on it, maybe we could do something here then ;-) --Werthead 15:25, February 19, 2011 (UTC)
- According to Ran, the WoIaF is going to be handling merchandising, they just haven't gotten round to it yet. --Werthead 11:33, February 20, 2011 (UTC)
- I was actually thinking of repurposing the Ice and Fire wiki at Wikia as a wiki focused mainly on merchandising, video games, etc. since it clearly has no chance at competing with AWoIaF as a wiki focused on the books. By the way, would AWoIaF be open to a deeper partnership with this wiki, with e.g. links to each other on the main page, and on each character page etc. ("read more about Ned Stark in the TV series/in the books" links at the end of each article)? Ausir(talk) 22:16, February 21, 2011 (UTC)
- That is an excellent suggestion. We could keep the book pages (which already have info on different editions) but most of the character/house ones could go, or alternatively we could keep them with notes on how they are depicted in different media. I've already spoken to Ran about partnering AWoIaF and the GoT one and that's something in the works. Even better, I've been contacted by HBO directly and they may be interested in involving us in the marketing for the TV series in some manner. It also means we have a direct line to check up on issues. For example, I'm going to ask if we can use the screencaps that various fansites have taken from the trailers and teasers, as they would radically expand the number of photos on the wiki.--Werthead 09:48, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

Spellchecker testing works
You might have noticed already that we now have spellchecker functionality in the visual editor. This is an exclusive test, run on only a few wikis. Hope you like it! This is still in beta, so if you encounter any problems or issues with it, please let me know. Safe typing! TOR 13:03, February 17, 2011 (UTC)
You need to use proper grammar:
War of the Five Kings– Season 2 is underway and war ravages the Seven Kingdoms! Who are the five kings involved? What do we know about their forces? Read our article to find out more about the conflict.Glassonion0
- Thank you for pointing out my error, I have corrected it.--Opark 77 14:01, May 15, 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for not being a Jack Ass about it, the Star Trek Wiki people are rude.Glassonion0
I have received permission via telephone call from HBO Marketing to use screencaps from the trailers, teasers and other released media to illustrate articles on the wiki. Screencaps can be used under the following restrictions: we don't go overboard with them (i.e. one per article, more only if necessary to illustrate different facets of the article), we don't use ones that are major spoilers for events later in the series (i.e. we don't use the screencaps of the Three-Eyed Crow until it's appeared on-screen) and we emphasise on the upload pages that all screencaps are HBO copyright. Also, whilst Marketing are okay with us using them, HBO Legal may have a different opinion and we must be willing to remove any or all screencaps at any time (but since HBO Legal are okay with the screencaps on the numerous other HBO Wikis, this is a highly unlikely eventuality). Ran at Westeros.org has also given us permission to use the screencaps that they take and put up on their GoT page, and we should acknowledge that as well. Beyond that we should be good to go :-) --Werthead 15:02, March 2, 2011 (UTC)
- Awesome! Great job, Werthead! --TOR 01:11, March 3, 2011 (UTC)
- Waiting for Westeros's screencaps of the latest video. We can add images of the Wall, but I doubt the very brief image of the Other will be usable (plus it's kind of spoilery). Any thoughts on the logo? Our current one is good, but I was thinking of using the TV show's one. However, I note that other HBO Wikis don't use them (TRUE BLOOD deliberately uses another one), whilst other TV show wikis (like Memory Alpha for STAR TREK) do. Any preference?--Werthead 21:37, March 4, 2011 (UTC)
Video Edits
Replaced the 'First Full Trailer' with the official HBO version, which is higher in quality. Also put it on the front page, thought the YouTube still of Catelyn isn't great. :-) --Werthead 21:37, March 4, 2011 (UTC)
RSS Feed
What's wrong with the RSS feed on the front page? The page keep says it can't load it, but the feed is valid. I don't know the syntax of the RSS feed, if there is a bug there. --Starhop 22:13, May 5, 2011 (UTC)
- Seems to be working fine now, don't know if someone else fixed it. I am thinking we need to change the RSS feed, maybe to a dedicated news reel with posts from Westeros.org's TV page and maybe Winter is Coming's entries. We're picking up a lot of tangential stories on the front page feed which don't have much to do with the TV show. Unfortunately, I don't know anything at all about changing RSS feeds to do that.--Werthead 14:57, May 7, 2011 (UTC)
New logo needed
We've been using the Game of Thrones: Genesis logo for a while now, which was okay as a placeholder whilst HBO had not revealed the final logo for the TV series. However, using this logo now risks confusion between the TV series and the computer game, and of course the computer game logo is copyrighted by Cyanide and we do not have permission to use it. On the other hand, we do have permission from HBO to use screencaps and promo images, so using the TV logo should also be fine. I'll see if I can find a good version of it.--Werthead 15:01, May 7, 2011 (UTC)
- Right, I have a possible good new logo uploaded at Wiki.png, but I can't update the current logo which is set to Wiki-wordmark.png, not sure what the issue is there. Any ideas?--Werthead 15:36, May 7, 2011 (UTC)
- We have already found a new logo. So new people reading this should disregard what is being written. Cheers LordofOnions (Talk) 22:50, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
Why are the characters listed on the front page as dead/alive? That is major spoilers for someone who hasn't read the books or hasn't seen all the episodes of the show yet. I don't think the characters should be grouped like this. I just started watching season 1 and now I know who will die. Thanks a lot. 220.127.116.11 18:20, March 30, 2012 (UTC)
The wiki is up to date with the show. We have a spoiler policy that we follow to exclude books spoilers but we are not aiming to stay spoiler free for aired episodes of the show. I'm sorry you were spoiled but I think you should consider your browsing a bit more carefully while watching a season that first aired 9 months ago.--Opark 77 20:43, April 1, 2012 (UTC)
You know he has a very good point, right? I mean, I've been watching since episode one and have read all the books so, on a personal level, I'm not worried about having anything spoiled for myself. However, it should be expected that people who may not have seen the show in it's entirety WILL still come here. It's absolutely fine to point out who is dead or not, but it's not cool to do that on the front page. There is no notice for anyone visiting this site via Google (or anything else) that they are about to walk into MASSIVE spoilers on the FRONT page of this website. It's just... rather tactless and rude and an awful, terrible idea to include these details on the single most important and central and central page of the wiki. Especially in a show where the deaths are so important and surprising, a show where the deaths drive much of the most important parts of the story. -- rjcripe 08:48, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
I think it is incredibly foolish to browse a wiki about a show you are not up to date with. We have details of the latest episode on the front page too. Everything on the site has plot details so there is no way to keep the front page free of plot details. We don't consider character deaths spoilers if the episode they occurred in has aired already.--Opark 77 09:05, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
I just started watching the show, and I came to the Wiki to find information about the map and family trees and stuff. I know how to avoid spoilers, but seriously? Putting the dead characters on the very top of the very front page of the entire site? That's not just foolish, but it's pointless. I think you're mad if you expect no one to get spoiled from that. Whose browsing experience will really be enhanced by showing it? - 126.96.36.199 16:06, April 16, 2012 (UTC)
Exactly my point. I mean, seriously... anyone who has watched the show in it's entirety already knows who is dead and who is alive (therefore explicitly indicating who has died on the front page is a futile effort) and anyone who hasn't will have nearly all the most suspenseful and eventful scenes spoiled for them just by visiting the front page. Again, no one is saying remove all spoilers from the wiki, all people want is to have the spoilers removed from the front page. I know I, for one, do visit wikis for shows I have not finished for basic, background info. I don't read very far into the websites, but to pretend that the only people who visit wikis are those who have watched the show in it's entirety is completely ignorant. Just bury the info skin deep... just past the front page (and maybe opening paragraphs and section headers of pages, although that is debatable and I personally don't care if they contain spoilers). But I think what I'm all saying here is really besides the point now. Since it has (apparently) been decided to only include livingcharacters in the front page's character portal, this discussion is essentially pointless (btw, excellent call whoever decided that--it's really the best compromise and perhaps the only one that will actually satisfy both parties and stances on this issue). EDIT: Oh, and the whole thing about the spoiler policy--no where in that policy is anything stated that the front page is an O.K. and appropriate space for spoilers. So pointing to that as a qualifier for front page spoilers doesn't quite work... -- rjcripe 03:01, April 24, 2012 (UTC)
- ....you buffoon. This wiki is written from the standpoint that readers will have watched the most recent episode. EVERY TV wiki functions this way. You're openly asking us to what? Cater to people who didn't even watch the last season yet? Why would we even have information on episode 2, "the Kingsroad", when that might spoil it for the people who only watched episode 1?! I mean seriously, sit down and ask yourself, functionally, how the hell would you ever institute such a policy? You're asking for family trees to be a snapshot of what they were in Season 1?
- Yikes..."to pretend that the only people who visit wikis are those who have watched the show in its entirety"....that's the CENTRAL ASSUMPTION of this wiki! This is a wiki devoted SPECIFICALLY to the TV show, not even the books. This show is slated to run about eight seasons. Take "The Wire" for example, that ran five seasons...are you honestly saying that a wiki devoted to "The Wire" should, even during season 4, have a strict spoilers policy that considers ANYTHING beyond season 1 to be a spoiler?
- I've checked your contributions tab, you've never really contributed to any wiki including this one. What are you?--The Dragon Demands (talk) 05:10, April 24, 2013 (UTC)
- Once again, Dragon Demands, you're insulting people and being rude right off the bat. How is it that the other Admins can get their points across without insulting people, yet you can't seem to do it? I have never seen an Admin talk to people the way you do. Ever. Admins are supposed to set the bar and lead by example. You were rude before you became an Admin, but you haven't changed at all. I'm probably going to get banned for speaking out against you, but I can't sit back anymore. It's ridiculous.
- DRAEVAN13 13:29, April 24, 2013 (UTC)
- Actually I'm insulting this guy because I'm already on the verge of banning him for the way he insulted User:Greater good over on his talk page; out of context this may seem harsh but there have been ongoing problems with this guy. Yes, my overall command style is to serve the "greater good" by being willing to just plain throw out the few bad apples. I know my methods are harsh, but I get results, damn it! (why would you be in danger of banning? You're a regular contributor and follow the rules).--The Dragon Demands (talk) 15:33, April 24, 2013 (UTC)
- Are you referring to his comment on the "Prose" section of GreaterGood's talk page? If so, I don't see how that's rude, he's calmly and clearly explaining his point of view. In fact, it's a lot more polite than how you usually respond to people.
- And once again, the other Admins get the job done while being polite and without insulting people. You like using that McGarnigle reference, except you're not a cop fighting crime. You're an Admin on a Wikia site. Your methods don't have to be harsh to get the job done. DRAEVAN13 17:06, April 24, 2013 (UTC)
House Greyjoy in the slider
With Season 3 upon us I believe we should replace House Greyjoy, which had a bigger role in Season 2, with Mance Rayder, who will have a huge role after two seasons of being just mentioned.--Gonzalo84 (talk) 16:21, March 7, 2013 (UTC)
- Sure! :) Just put Mance in the Greyjoy's spot. QueenBuffy 16:25, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

- The globular cluster system of the young elliptical NGC 6702

- Abstract
- We study the globular cluster (GC) system of the dust-lane elliptical galaxy NGC 6702, using B-, V- and I-band imaging observations carried out at the Keck telescope. This galaxy has a spectroscopic age of ~2Gyr suggesting recent star formation. We find strong evidence for a bimodal GC colour distribution, with the blue peak having a colour similar to that of the Galactic halo GCs. Assuming that the blue GCs are indeed old and metal-poor, we estimate an age of 2-5Gyr and supersolar metallicity for the red GC subpopulation. Despite the large uncertainties, this is in reasonable agreement with the spectroscopic galaxy age. Additionally, we estimate a specific frequency of SN=2.3+/-1.1 for NGC 6702. We predict that passive evolution of NGC 6702 will further increase its specific frequency to SN~2.7 within 10Gyr, in closer agreement to that of typical present-day ellipticals. We also discuss evidence that the merger/accretion event that took place a few Gyr ago involved a high gas fraction.

Imagine a world where mundane tasks like checking email and scheduling appointments essentially vanished from your to-do list. Well, with a Zirtual virtual assistant, they can. Zirtual, a graduate of the Silicon Valley Founder Institute, matches busy professionals with virtual assistants to take care of time consuming tasks.
The increasing popularity of virtual assistance for busy professionals caught the attention of Sue Shellenbarger of the Wall Street Journal, who featured several Zirtual clients and assistants in the article "Get Me a Hair Appointment and Empty My Inbox".
Ranging between $97 and $997 usd per month, Zirtual assistants can be hired for simple requests or unlimited help for up to 50 hours per month. A typical ZA is based in the US, is college educated, is looking for part time work, and loves to problem solve. The now Las Vegas based startup recently announced a $2 million seed round backed by Tony Hseih and Mayfield, which was reported by TechCrunch in January.
To learn more about Zirtual, click here to read the full article on the Wall Street Journal.
Zirtual is a graduate of the Silicon Valley Founder Institute, which is currently accepting applications for the upcoming Spring Semester. If you or someone you know could benefit from expert training and feedback to launch a technology startup in Silicon Valley, click here to apply today.

Appointment Reminder Calls – With Asterisk VoIPPosted: July 21st, 2010 | Author: Gregg | Filed under: Asterisk VoIP, Linux, Tech | Tags: appointment, appointment reminder calls, asteris, call blasting, office reminder, ontime1405, ontime1405.com, voip, wake up call | 8 Comments »
A while back I had a meeting with a friend in Orlando, FL. He came up with the idea to provide an appointment reminder service to companies that would benefit from such a service. Doctor's offices, Dentists, Mechanics, Repairmen, etc. I drew up the logistics of the program and began working on it in the fall of 2008. Since then we have had customers use the software to easily call their customers and remind them of appointments and also use the software for call blasting. Call blasting is a feature to call an unlimited amount of numbers and playback a message. Since I have experience in the Asterisk VoIP platform I programmed the system to allow for options and the customer to enter in input with their keypad.
The purpose of this article is to detail the logistics and share it with the Asterisk community.
Basic overview:
There are a few different ways to originate calls with Asterisk.
-From the Asterisk CLI directly with the "originate" command
-From the AMI (Asterisk Manager Interface)
-From .call files placed in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing
I went with .call files because of a few reasons:
-I can generate all of the call files ahead of time because they are read based on the timestamp of the file (less load)
-It is straightforward and easy to follow, and also leaves behind the .call file that is archived after the call is finished
-Asterisk will parse and execute based on timestamp, so to burst 100 calls would require much less overhead than through AMI/CLI
There are some negative effects to the .call files too:
-Changes made need to remove and add another .call file (If the customer changes their appointment time after the file was generated)
-The lowest interval to generate calls is every minute, so we can burst to 400 calls/minute (also more difficult to throttle calls)
Now you know how the calls are originating on the system, let's move on to the database and interface.
I hired someone to program the interface in AJAX and PHP. That way it is secure and saved a lot of time if I were to attempt it myself. The interface is very clean and easy to use for customers. They also have the ability to import 1,000 records at a time via CSV files. Feel free to demo the interface via the link on ontime1405.com for "Demo the Interface".
The interface stores the call data in MySQL which is then scanned hourly to process and create all of the .call files according to their timestamp. We only care about the calls that will be made by the system in the next hour, so those are the only .call files that are generated. The script is a PHP script that connects to the database with the query of calls to be made, strips them down, then does a loop to create the .call file, set the timestamp based on the variable, then move the .call file to /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing.
The .call files include 1 custom variable that is comma-delimited so we can parse out the appointment time, AM/PM, and any other custom variables.
The other important lines in the .call file point to the context in the Asterisk dialplan that the customer's announcement and options are defined.
Now you may ask yourself, It will be a pain to manually add customer's options and dialplan for every sign up, right? It was at first, but I created several automated scripts to generate the dialplan for the customer and "dialplan reload" when complete.
The rest of the accounting/etc is accomplished via bash cleanup scripts that write to the database and provide reporting/etc.
The same system can be used for call-blasting to a large group of number for a survey, snow day announcement, marketing message.
Please let me know if you have any questions or advice/constructive-criticism for me regarding the program.
And feel free to try out the demo interface and hear a reminder call!

YOU'VE GOTTA HAND IT to the MAKERS of I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DOES IT. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DID IT, BUT the WEINSTEIN COMPANY BOLDLY "SNEAK-PREVIEWED" THEIR FILM NATIONWIDE ALMOST a WEEK BEFORE IT WAS SET to OPEN.
THEIR REWARD: REVIEWS THAT SUGGEST WE WERE RIGHT to HAVE OUR EYES on THIS ONE (AS of THIS POSTING -- 10am/PST the DAY BEFORE the FILM DEBUTS -- I DON'T KNOW HAD an EMBARRASSING 26% FAVORABLE RATING at R.T.) and AUDIENCE RATINGS at B.O. MoJo WITH MORE THAN 60% of RESPONDENTS GIVING IT a D or an F.
GIVEN THAT IT TOP-LINES LAST YEAR's DOUBLE RAZZIE® "WINNER" SARAH JESSICA PARKER, FEATURES OUR 2009 WORST SUPPORTING ACTOR "WINNER" PIERCE BROSNAN (of MAMMA MIA SHAME) and THAT AUDIENCE TRACKING SURVEYS SUGGEST NO MAN on EARTH WILL BOTHER SEEING IT, I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS FILM HAS ANY NO CHANCE of ESCAPING RAZZIE® BLOWBACK.

Washington and BYU will meet this Saturday for the seventh time and first since 1999. The Huskies hold a 4-2 edge in the series but that won't matter much as BYU comes into town ranked No. 15 in the nation and so much to lose. In fact, there's a lot on the line for both teams and this will not be your average non-conference game. BYU has legitimate aspirations of running the table in 2008 and going to a BCS bowl game. Washington is trying to regain the trust of their fans after getting demolished by Oregon last weekend 44-10. Washington head coach Tyrone Willingham's seat is on fire and a loss against BYU could all but burn up his chances of remaining the main man at Montlake.

Susie replies:
Is two people rubbing their bodies together considered a sex act?
Yes, "dry humping" or frottage is a sexual act. That is because its purpose is to give and receive sexual pleasure.
If you engage in frottage while nude (or otherwise pants-less), you can transmit STDs like herpes and HPV (the virus that causes genital warts and cervical cancer). These infections are passed skin to skin -- no penetration nor fluid exchange is necessary to pass these viruses. Moreover, even without penetration, if the male partner ejaculates onto his female partner and the semen spills onto the vulva, there is a chance she could get pregnant.
On top of all that (pun totally not intended at first, but then I just had to run with it), suppose one partner is a legal adult, and the other partner is a minor whose age puts him/her outside the bounds of legal consent. If this couple was caught engaging in frottage, that can be considered an unlawful sex act in many jurisdictions, and the elder partner could be charged as a sex offender, depending on the region's statutes.
So from a medical and legal standpoint, even though no penetration was involved, frottage (aka dry humping), can be considered a sex act.

A Brief History Of Metal
Heavy metal music rose out of popular music in opposition to both the dominant culture and the rock counterculture. Its heritage was equal parts the heavy guitar rock that replaced the blues, progressive rock and the neoclassical sounds of horror movie music. It is believed that the term was first used as a genre descriptor in a review of 'Kingdom Come', the 1970 debut of Sir Lord Baltimore.
First, bands like Blue Cheer demonstrated the distorted sound, then Iggy Pop and the Stooges brought proto-punk into the equation, and then progressive rock bands like King Crimson and Jethro Tull expanded on the idea. Finally, Black Sabbath released the first fully-fledged heavy metal album in 1970, 'Black Sabbath'. Following this, bands merged the Led Zeppelin style of Celtic folk-influenced hard rock with Sabbath, and cemented heavy metal as a genre. However, it immediately began to homogenize itself, and this brought about the creation of underground metal. Remember 'Black Sabbath' had made an impact on popular culture; it was here that the concept of metal as an underground subculture began.
Heavy metal became popular in the 1970s and got absorbed by the hedonistic, individualistic, pleasure-seeking culture of the time. This produced a type of stadium heavy metalish rock that sold well but lost sight of the artistic ambitions of the genre. At the same time, bands like the Sex Pistols were popularizing the punk sound that had intensified since innovators like MC5, Iggy Pop and Link Wray began experimenting with it in the 1960s. In response, the more alert heavy metal bands added more gothic and neoclassical elements to distinguish themselves from the fray. The fusion of these two threads, hardcore punk and neoclassical heavy metal, produced an explosion of genres, but only two, speed metal and thrash, matured directly.
At the same time, starting with the explosive release of 'Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing' from the nihilistic and thoughtful punks Discharge, other genres expanded in nascent form from 1983-1985, in particular death and black metal with releases from pioneers such as Bathory, Hellhammer and Possessed.
Now fully formed via tangible scenes in Scandinavia and the USA, death metal flourished. With this, however, it found itself under onslaught from gazillions of imitators. Earlier forms like heavy metal and thrash metal began to fall out of favour although Metallica, the genre's most popular mainstream exponent, filled stadiums at their commercial peak. The so-called 'Second Wave' of black metal got fully underway in Norway, with a new sound and less tolerant ideology.
Death metal became a field of Suffocation clones, and bands increasingly turned toward either going "technical" to distinguish themselves, or assimilating themselves into mainstream styles like rock (Asphyx - God Cries), jazz (Pestilence - Spheres), funk (Mordred - In this Life) or punk (Pyrexia - Hatredangeranddisgust). At the same time, black metal came close to being the most popular style of metal to come from the underground, mainly because its primitive riffs and nocturnal melodies were part nightmare and part lullaby. As soon as its popularity grew via the Second Wave, black metal too became inundated in imitators, although some late forming bands and middle-era albums by classic bands helped flesh out its style and bring it to maturity.
Since 1997, and in particular the dawn of the internet, metal has diversified and adopted new influences to varied success. Black metal bands continue the style, either by attempting to expand traditionalism or "new" combinations made of black metal plus any number of already extant genres. Death metal continues with some absorption by metalcore, which has created a queasily hybrid style that few fans of the older material want to hear, and many newer fans find too mixed for their tastes. What has radically expanded are the continuation of speed metal and neoclassical heavy metal, power metal, and the skipped generation descendant of thrash, metalcore, which reverses the thrash pattern by putting hardcore riffs into metal-style songs. The sub-genres are converging again by becoming more similar, which may enable newer acts to get more distance from convention and find a style in which writing makes sense.
Heavy Metal:
Essentially the creation of four drugged out musicians from Birmingham, Heavy Metal began as an attempt in the realm of Popular Music to scare the shit out of people. Heavy Metal was constructed from elements of Progressive, Psychedelic, and Hard Rock, Blues, and Jazz. Beginning with slow and sinister riffs, the genre eventually molded into its own entity where melodies were constructed from sequences of overly distorted power chords.

Death Metal
Death Metal songs are constructed from a series of multiple riffs, thrown together in a "riff-salad" fashion. Thematically similar riffs provide nuanced repetition, while drastic, often unexpected, tempo changes create a jarring effect. Riffs are generally totally chromatic melodies meant to provide a distorting and horrifying impact, while unrelenting rhythm pummels the listener. Concepts of death, war, decay, evil, religion, torture, and other horrifying truths are amoralistically examined within the lyrics.

Death/Doom, a variant of Death Metal, brings more focus on plodding, dirge style riffs, borrowed and re-worked from Doom Metal. Focusing more on oppressive and crushing atmosphere than on the up-tempo blast and scissor beat happy percussion styles of Death Metal, these bands bring the extremity of the early 90's together with the original heaviness of bands like Saint Vitus and Pentagram. Melodic and ethereal acoustic guitar sections are utilized by some bands, and a small pocket full of Gothic inspired "Melodic Death/Doom" made a strong impact in the international scene.

Funeral Doom
Started by Thergothon, who opted for a new level of droning, mystical, and emotional Death/Doom, the majority of the former Death Metal elements were abandoned for an ambient sound that capitalized on the melancholic or introspective melodic work from guitars and keyboards, with slow, minimalist, rumbling riffs. Some newer bands have begun reintegrating elements from Death and Black metal, making something far more sinister and morbid than the founders.

Progressive Metal
Progressive metal bands have taken progressive rock stylings, such as longer and more complex song structures, odd time signatures, dissonant/otherwise odd harmony, and/or unusual instrumentation, and attach it to heavy metal. In some cases, this is merely taking metal and make it more complex; in others, the there is a much clearer sonic influence from the prog rock genre. Most prog metal bands take a primary influence from Rush and neo-prog bands like IQ, although there are some with more basis in the 70's prog sound exemplified by King Crimson and Gentle Giant.

Post-Metal is a concoction of many sounds and inspirations, originating from the early 90's with bands such as Neurosis and Godflesh combining crusty sludge, post-hardcore, industrial, early post-rock and noise soundscapes. The genre has grown, creating mellow counterparts and experimental entities with rising crescendos and minimalistic structures.

Deathcore has existed in vague forms for years, describing bands that mixed the intensity and chaotic approach to riffing of Hardcore, with the overall brutality and aggression of Death Metal. Primarily consisting of heavy, sometimes incredibly technical, low tuned riffing, blast beat and double kick pedal orientated drumming, half time sludgy breakdowns, and an increased focus on a wider harsh vocal range. Some bands have experimented outside of those confines with the introduction of keyboards, interludes, clean singing, and Meshuggah-esque meters.

I don't really feel the history part is needed.Good job though everyone.
It can't hurt to have a bit of background.
Wait..why isn't Merciless in the list of Essential Death/Thrash? Why is Death not on Melodic Death with Symbolic/TSOP? Why is there no Technical Death Metal?
should have been there when we made it, too late now.
So anus, have you pm'ed a mod about it to get it stickied ?
I hate to nitpick, but no mention of "Helter Skelter" in the proto-metal introduction?
Just sayin'. We, basically, wouldn't have "Masters of Reality" without that song, which means LOT of lost history in metal.

Excellent job! I will sticky this! MhuahahahahHa
Thanks Nelsean ! Can you change the title as well ?
I can and will, but for another day. Tomorrow morning sounds ideal. I need to get some rest. UG has been a bit hecktic for me today. :0
:cheers: good job all!
