Lexington police investigate homicide on Baney Drive
Published: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 9:11 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 11:27 a.m.
The Lexington Police Department is investigating the death of a 56-year-old man at a home on Baney Drive.
Davidson County Emergency Services Director Larry James said officers responded to an unknown call at 1:08 p.m. Tuesday in the 200 block of Baney Drive. He confirmed the death is a homicide investigation but deferred other questions to the LPD.
Maj. Mark Sink of the LPD confirmed late Wednesday morning that officers are working with N.C. State Bureau of Investigation agents in the investigation. Further information was not immediately available with the LPD.
A family member said police were called to the house to check an open door. Upon arrival they found he had been shot in the stomach twice.
Fred Holt Jr., a neighbor, identified the deceased as Maximino Q. Rubio. An obituary submitted by Davidson Funeral Home Wednesday stated Rubio was 56 years old.
The family member said police believe the shooting occurred overnight between Monday and Tuesday. She said she would be visiting the LPD to talk with police officers who were on the scene.
"It's a shock," she said of Rubio's death. The family member said she had not heard from Rubio in a few days. She also stated the LPD did not have any suspects.
"They have no leads at all," she said. "The SBI is going to be out there and investigating (Wednesday)."
Holt said he became concerned Tuesday morning when he noticed Rubio had not left for work.
"He was a good guy," he said. "I talked to him occasionally. He is very helpful. He is a good mechanic, a good worker. He is one neighbor you sort of appreciate, never a lot going on at his house. He kept mostly to himself."
A coworker, Holt said, found Rubio not showing up for work unusual. The concerned coworker visited the house and discovered the open door and some blood before he alerted authorities, the neighbor said.
Holt said he and his wife didn't hear anything unusual. However, others who live nearby told police they heard a gunshot, he said.
"If I would have heard that, I would have called the police," Holt said.
Sink encourages anyone with information concerning the incident to contact the Lexington Police Department at 243-3302 or Lexington Area Crimestoppers at 243-2400.

Tim Tebow's stock higher than Peyton Manning's? Certainly in the world of fantasy
Tim Tebow's stock appears to be plummeting in Denver after the Broncos courted Peyton Manning last weekend hoping to sign the NFL's only four-time MVP to a free-agent contract.
Manning mania > Tebow mania?
Not in the world of virtual reality.
If this quarterback shopping were happening in the video game realm, Tebow would be the grandest quarterback in all the land instead of someone destined to be ostracized for his unique approach to the quarterback position.
Tebow's stock is skyrocketing in the world of video games.
Bovada has placed Tebow as the favorite to land the cover of Madden 2013. He is a 5-1 favorite to land the cover followed by Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (13-2), and New England wide receiver Rod Gronkowski (13-2).
Manning was not listed.
Miami Dolphins running back Reggie Bush (even) and wide receiver Brandon Marshall (-130) also made the lengthy list in a section called Madden 2013 cover vote head-to-head matchups.
Judging from local fan response in the real world, Manning brings more excitement.
Almost every inch of every step Manning took here last week was chronicled in some form of media, and Dolphins fans braced themselves for every twist and turn.
Would Tebow bring the same type of excitement to South Florida?
Perhaps. There was Gator Day at Sun Life Stadium last season, Tebow's first start for the Broncos. That's when the fantasy truly started for Tebow, the former Florida Gator and 2007 Heisman Trophy winner.
If Manning signs with Denver, some believe Tebow could be a candidate to be traded to his hometown Jacksonville Jaguars. Talk about a fan base could use a good swig of faith.
The Dolphins remained encouraged Monday about their chances with Manning, who will meet with Dolphins coach Joe Philbin by Tuesday afternoon.
Some believe Denver is the team to beat. What would that mean for Tebow?
It remains unclear.

Man and his cat perish in Daytona Beach apartment fire
Published: Monday, July 29, 2013 at 7:41 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 29, 2013 at 9:17 p.m.
DAYTONA BEACH — While neighbors of Thomas Knoeblich knew little about the quiet 47-year-old man who lived alone with his cat, they were saddened to hear Monday that he and his pet died in an early morning fire.
The fatality is the first in Daytona Beach this year and also the only fire death in the past three years, said fire Lt. Larry Stoney.
According to Stoney, the fire in unit 319 at the Ridgecrest Park Apartments in the 1400 block of South Nova Road flared up about 1:30 a.m. in the bedroom. While the cause of the fire is still unknown, neighbors wondered if Knoeblich, a smoker, fell asleep with a cigarette as he worked on his computer.
"He did not socialize much," said Anneliese Hunter, who lives next door. "He would come out every so often and smoke. He was very polite. He worked on his computer at night."
Neighbor Cary Gardner had never spoken to Knoeblich at length but described the cat as "cute and playful." He called 9-1-1 after he was woken by the smell of smoke in his row of one-story apartments.
"I ran to his door and knocked but got no answer," Gardner said. "The windows were really hot."
Firefighters found Knoeblich face down just behind his front door, Stoney said. Hunter said Knoeblich told her he had been injured a few years ago when he worked in construction.
Stoney said the fire looked to be accidental but would be investigated by the State Fire Marshal's Office. He said firefighters worked to revive Knoeblich, but he died later at Halifax Health Medical Center.
Neighbors said Knoeblich's mother also lives at the complex, but she could not be reached for comment.

Easy Truffles RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Finely chopped toasted nuts, flaked coconut, baking cocoa or red and green sprinkles
- In a microwave, combine chips and milk. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring after 1-1/2 minutes; stir until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Chill for 3 hours or until firm.
- Shape into 1-in. balls; roll in nuts, coconut, cocoa or sprinkles. Chill 1 hour or until firm. Store covered at room temperature or in a refrigerator. Yield: 6 dozen.
Reviews for Easy Truffles
"I've made these for several years, following the recipe exactly, and never had a problem. I chill for the recommended three hours, and roll in a variety of coatings. They disappear pretty quickly!"
"Poor recipe. Did not firm. Followed instructions and amounts perfectly. Was like syrup. tried adding icing sugar and cocoa to firm, but ended up just going into the garbage. Would never use this recipe again. Caution... find another recipe."
"This recipe is so easy, somewhat time consuming, but easy. I leave them out on the counter until easy to work with. I add about a scant tsp of amaretto oil based flavoring to the mixture in place of the vanilla. I have found that as I roll them, I dip them into chocolate. If not, they tend to dry out. If they start to be crumbly, microwave small amounts for about 3 or 4 seconds & they become pliable again. They last a long time in the refrigerator. It may sound complicated, but it's really not."
"Very easy to make. The most time consuming part was just rolling it in sprinkles but wasnt bad at all. I did however after reading the reviews refigerate them for only an hour and was perfect to work with. I think if you leave them in the fridge for 3 hrs they would become hard to work with. Great recipe though. They can defintly kill a sweet tooth!"
"Doesn't taste like a truffle to me more like a piece of chocolate."

Had to turn the game off...sorry guys. Ugliest game of the season so far.
Pacers build a 10 point lead on Tyson Melo, JR, Shump, annnd Felton
Smith is bricking every shot. Let's get a ducking run going, eh?
Nevermore. Good shot JR
when are we going to learn to stop turning the ball over ?
JR heating up
Melo is saving us...keep him down low...no more jumpshots.
Quality assist from Carmelo to Martin.
Knicks players need to stop watching Melo and start moving with out the ball.
Melo is a willing player if you're open.

Best Little Curling Iron Ever!Like most people, I got this curling iron for free, but it works like a dream! With my other curling irons, they take a long time to heat up, they get too hot for my hair, and when I try to pull the iron out of my hair, the hair snags and/or breaks off. The Solia curling iron does none of that at all. It is very quick to heat up, probably about a minute, I can touch the curling and it never burns me but curls the hair perfectly, and when it's time to work the hair out of the clip, it never pulls any of the hair out, the hair just slips out of the clip and curling rod. The only thing I really have to say about it is once you get to the last pieces of your hair, it does get kind of hot, so if you have fine hair, you might want to work quicker, or let it cool down a tad, but it probably won't break off your hair. I love this curling iron, and I highly recommend it.Aug 12, 2011Alaina / AlabamaHAIR TYPEBlack / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Big Things Come In Small PackagesI have to day, I received this iron as a freebie with an order. I didn't think much of it as the video tutorials showed individuals with short hair. I one the other hand have long hair that almost reaches my waist. I tested it the same day I received it out of curiosity.
Here is my list of pros:
1. The barrel of this teeny tiny iron measures 3.5-inches, plus an extra .5-inch for the 'tip', for a total length of 4-inches. The grip/handle measures 4.25-inches (not including the swivel cord, because who holds a hair tool by the swivel cord, right?!). The total length of this curling iron is, drumroll please, 8.25-inches. Coincidently, it measure 1-inch less in length than the "croc mini flat iron" I ordered.
2. The barrel, once plugged in and switched to "on" will heat up extremely quick, In exactly 1-1/2 mins, this iron is smokin'.
3. Compact and light, you can store this easily and safely anywhere.
4. After receiving this iron, I don't need to purchase a clipless iron, because as one of the video reviewers mentioned, the clip is so thin it's almost not there.
5. Hair glides beautifully along the barrel
Now for the cons:
1. If you don't need/use high heat, you may potentially burn your hair, so you MUST work in small sections and work quickly in order to avoid burning your hair, but this is the case with many tools where users switch their tool to the highest setting and singe their hair without properly thinking about their hair type and the amount of time needed to gain the result they need without over doing it.
2. If you want to work with larger sections of hair, your hair will snag at the base of the barrel where the clip meets the grip. This will not be an issue if you intend to use it like a clip-less iron, but is an issue if you use it with the clip. I used it with the clip (I prefer the clip) and quickly retrained myself to work with small/thinner sections of hair.
3. If you have long hair like I do, the first few times using it will seem long, but with practice you can get your entire head done in 20-mins...I did it, so can you!!! :-)
4. The tip gets VERY HOTTT! I burned the tip of my fingers and learned to whip out my friend, the heat resistant glove...if you order this, you must air on the side of safety and USE A HEAT RESISTANT GLOVE. I can not emphasize this enough.
Okay, so that was a lot of information. I hope this will help you gals/bros out there to clarify some of the ups/downs of this tool. All in all, I am super happy folica.com threw this in as a freebie when I purchased my croc mini flat iron, otherwise I would have never given it a try.
Happy shopping and hair styling! :-D

Really Nice Product, For Free Too!I'm not much on curling my hair, mostly because I've never been able to get it to hold a curl as my hair is very very fine and straight. However, this little gadget came for free with something else that I ordered so of course I tried it. I heard that Solia products are very nice and I had never tried a ceramic curling iron before. I had someone curl my hair for me and it was so hot that they thought they were burning my hair but I said "no, keep going I have lots of hair product in and I don't think the ceramic can damage the hair like the old irons do" So yes this little guy gets very hot and you do have to be careful with it! BUT WOW! FINALLY my stubborn hair stayed curled and cute all night at work and it was a particularly sweaty, muggy hot night! I definitely recommend it, one thing though, as the other reviews mention, it is easy to switch the little button off while you are working with it, but other than that, great product!Jul 4, 2011Amanda / ArkansasHAIR TYPELight Brown / Oily Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Nice Curls But They Didn't LastI've bought curling irons that wouldn't put a curl in my hair. This one produces lovely curls. Now I just need to figure out how to make them stay because they fell out (so my hair looked more wavy than curly) in an hour, even though I used hair spray.Jul 4, 2011Laura

Great Little Curling IronThis was a freebie, so I didn't expect much. I was very pleasantly surprised. It heats very quickly, and does a great job curling my hair - the curls really last! My hear is fairly thick, and is in the awkward 'growing out' stage - but his curling iron helps make it look very nice. The only criticism I would have is that the tip at the end, where you can hold it - is VERY short - only @ 5/8 of an inch, at most, and it's tapered. I would have been much happier if it had been an inch long. So, if you're used to holding the end, you have to be VERY careful or you'll singe your fingertips. It would also have been nice if it had come in a little carry pouch. But, otherwise, I like this so much I am considering giving it as stocking-stuffer gifts.Jul 1, 2011Mona / ConcordHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

UI football coaches Jim Reid and LeVar Woods visited with the media Wednesday
UI offensive coordinator says the Hawkeyes aren't scoring enough points
UI offensive coordinator Greg Davis likes balance in 2013
Hawkeyes host Northern Illinois at 2:42 p.m. (CT) today in Kinnick Stadium
UI offense is set to pick up the pace during the 2013 season
Outback Bowl Practice No. 13 Saturday, Dec. 28, 2013
The Hawkeye football team held their first practice in Tampa today and former Hawkeye Adrian Clayborn stopped by.
The Hawkeyes enjoy a team lunch at the Outback Steakhouse in Coralville
Indoor Practice Facility Iowa City, Iowa
Iowa averaged just over 400 yards total offense per game in 2014, including 237 passing yards per contest. That total ranks ninth best for a single season at Iowa. Iowa averaged 28.2 points per game while posting a 7-6 record, its highest scoring average since 2010, while earning an invitation to the 2015 TaxSlayer Bowl. Iowa's total offense surpassed 400 yards per game for the first time since 2005.
Iowa's offense made strides in 2013 as the Hawkeyes won eight games, placing second in the Legends Division and earning a spot in the 2014 Outback Bowl. Iowa's offense averaged 377 yards total offense per game, including 197 passing yards and 180 rushing yards per outing. In his first year as a starter, sophomore quarterback Jake Rudock passed for over 2,300 yards and 18 touchdowns.
Davis was named Frank Broyles Assistant Coach of the Year in 2005 after Texas won the BCS national championship. Texas has had just five quarterbacks start a game in the NFL, and Davis tutored three of them (Colt McCoy, Vince Young, Chris Simms).
Davis has coached in 20 bowl games, including January bowl games (Outback and TaxSlayer) with the Hawkeyes the past two seasons. He has also coached in the Holiday Bowl (four), Rose Bowl (three), Cotton (three), Gator (two), Independence (two), Fiesta, Alamo, Peach and Hall of Fame. Davis coached in the BCS national championship game twice (2006 and 2010 Rose Bowl games) and competed in the Grantland Rice Bowl as a player at McNeese State.
Under his guidance, the Texas offense produced 10 of the top 11 passing seasons, 11 of the top 13 total offense campaigns and the top nine scoring years in school history. Texas averaged 39.0 points per game from 2000-09, which ranked second nationally and first among BCS conference schools. In 2005, Texas set a then-NCAA record with 652 total points and a school record by averaging 50.2 ppg.
Under Davis, five Longhorns were named Big 12 Offensive Players of the Year, including RB Ricky Williams, 1998; QB Major Applewhite, 1999; QB Vince Young, 2005; QB Colt McCoy, 2008 and 2009. At Texas, Davis tutored three finalists for the Heisman Trophy, including two players who were second in Heisman voting, two winners each of the Walter Camp Football Foundation Players of the Year, Maxwell Award, Davey O'Brien Award, Manning Award and Archie Griffin Award. He tutored a winner of the Unitas Golden Arm Award, a Sporting News Player of the Year and Chevrolet Offensive Player of the Year.
In 2009, Texas averaged 39.3 points per game (third NCAA), 421.2 total yards (29th NCAA), 273.6 passing yards (22nd NCAA) and 147.6 yards rushing. Senior QB Colt McCoy led the nation in completion percentage (70.6) for the second straight year while taking home the WCFF Player of the Year Award, Maxwell Award, Davey O'Brien Award, Unitas Golden Arm Award and Manning Award. WR Jordan Shipley was also a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award.
In 2008, the Longhorns finished in the nation's Top 10 in pass efficiency (second/175.0), scoring offense (fifth/42.4 ppg), passing offense (seventh/308.3 ypg) and total offense (ninth/475.8 ypg). McCoy set a NCAA single-season record for completion percentage at 76.7 and set single-season school records for completions (332), yards (3,859), touchdowns (34) and passer rating (173.8). For the first time in school history and 11th in NCAA history, Texas had two receivers with at least 85 receptions and 1,000 receiving yards.
In 2007, Texas averaged 462.9 yards of total offense (13th NCAA), 207.5 yards rushing (17th NCAA) and 37.2 points per game (14th NCAA). McCoy completed 65.1 percent of his passes for 3,303 yards (No. 3 on Texas' single-season list) and 22 touchdowns.
Despite breaking in a freshman quarterback in McCoy in 2006, Davis helped Texas remain one of the nation's top offenses. McCoy finished the season as a Davey O'Brien Award semifinalist and was named National Freshman of the Year by Sporting News and the Touchdown Club of Columbus. As a whole, Texas finished 2006 ranked sixth in scoring offense (35.9 ppg) and 22nd in total offense (391.5 ypg).
Behind Davis' leadership, the Texas offense had a record-breaking year in 2005, one in which Davis was recognized as the nation's top assistant coach with the Frank Broyles Award. The Longhorns' 652 points were the most scored in NCAA history. They also set the school record for total offense with 6,657 yards. Texas became only the fifth team to average over 50 points per game (50.2 ppg) and 500 yards per game (512.1 ypg) in NCAA history.
Young also flourished under Davis in 2005, winning both the Davey O'Brien and Manning Awards as the nation's top quarterback. He also won the Maxwell Award and was the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy. He became the first player in NCAA history to throw for 3,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in a season.
The Longhorns took advantage of a veteran offensive line and All-America RB Cedric Benson in 2004 to finish the season ranked second in the country in rushing offense (299.2 ypg), seventh in total offense (464.4 ypg) and 12th in scoring (35.3 ppg). As a sophomore, Young completed nearly 60 percent of his passes for 1,849 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also rushed for 1,079 yards and 14 scores and was the Rose Bowl MVP.
In 2003, Davis took an offense with two first-year starting quarterbacks and led it to, what was, the best total offense season in school history (5,709 yards) and a then-school record 533 points. The 3,023 rushing yards were the most for Texas since 1977.
As a redshirt freshman, Young became the first quarterback in school history to post better than 900 yards rushing (998) and passing (1,155) while earning Big 12 Freshman of the Year honors. Junior Chance Mock had the nation's top touchdown-to-interception ratio (16 TDs/2 INTs).
Under Davis in 2002, senior quarterback Chris Simms established school single-season records for touchdown passes (26) and touchdowns accounted for (30). His 3,207 passing yards and 3,083 yards total offense ranked second best for a single season.
Simms is second in Texas history with a 58.7 completion percentage (535-of-911) and second in passer efficiency rating (138.4). He ranks second on the school's all-time touchdown passes list (58) and fourth in passing yards (7,097).
One year earlier, Simms, the Big 12 leader in passing efficiency (144.25), started 12 games and threw 22 touchdown passes (No. 2 on UT's season list) as the Longhorns posted a 10-2 record in his 12 starts.
Davis spent 1999 directing an offense that was the first in school history and one of only four nationally to boast a 3,000-yard passer as well as a 1,000-yard rusher and receiver. He was named a finalist for the 1999 Frank Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant. Major Applewhite set school season marks for passing yards (3,357) and total offense (3,211) en route to Big 12 co-Offensive Player of the Year honors.
In Davis' first year at Texas in 1998, the Longhorns became just the second unit in NCAA Division I-A history to feature a 2,000-yard rusher (Ricky Williams) and passer (Applewhite), as well as a 1,000-yard receiver (Wane McGarity). An early season injury forced redshirt freshman Applewhite into the lineup. Applewhite went on to set school freshman records for passing yards (2,453) and touchdown passes (18). He was named Big 12 Freshman of the Year.
Prior to his stint at Texas, Davis helped develop the quarterback duo of Chris Keldorf and Oscar Davenport, who teamed to complete 60% of their passes for more than 2,700 yards in each of Davis' two years at North Carolina.
Davis was the head coach at Tulane for four seasons (1988-91), where he succeeded Mack Brown. He spent three seasons (1985-87) as assistant head coach and wide receivers coach at Tulane under Brown. Davis spent two seasons (1992-93) as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Arkansas and two years (1994-95) as Georgia's passing game coordinator before joining Brown at North Carolina.
While at Georgia, Davis helped lead the Bulldogs to the 1995 Peach Bowl despite injuries to the team's top two quarterbacks. He did so by preparing converted slot back Hines Ward for the starting quarterback position. Ward set a school bowl game record by completing 31-of-59 passes for 413 yards in the Peach Bowl. Davis also coached first team All-American Eric Zeier, a third-round pick of the Cleveland Browns.
Davis began his college coaching career at Texas A&M, serving as the Aggies' quarterbacks coach (1978-84). He then joined Brown as assistant head coach and wide receivers coach at Tulane in 1985.
Davis began his career in the high school ranks while working toward his master's degree. He coached at Barbe High School (Lake Charles, La.) from 1973-74 and Port Neches-Groves High School (Port Neches, Texas) from 1975-77, where he helped lead the Indians to the 1975 Texas 4A state title. The native of Groves, Texas, earned his bachelor's degree (sports administration, 1973) and master's degree (1977) from McNeese State.
Davis and his wife, Patsy, have two children, Greg Jr. and Stacey, and five grandchildren. Greg Jr. and his wife, Karen, have two daughters, Taylor and Kaylen. Stacey and her husband, Kory, have three children, a daughter, Brook, and two sons, K.J. and Davis.

Davis on IOWA
"The opportunity to come to IOWA was simple because of Kirk Ferentz. He is one of the most respected coaches in our business. It's an added bonus because the fans are so passionate about Hawkeye Football.
Any athlete who wants an opportunity to play in a pro-style offense, get a quality education, and have the chance to grow as a person, both on and off the field, should strongly consider The University of Iowa."

I've shared my thoughts on Reese's pieces before: hated as a child and I've come to appreciate them with special and infrequent cravings. I really just miss the chocolate with the peanut butter. I saw these on one of the candy hunts and wanted to give them a try, mainly because I hear so many good things about these in their Pastel Eggs format. Part of the allure was that if I didn't end up liking them, I could at least get some pretty photos of them and then give the rest to my boyfriend, who is crazy about Reese's Pieces.
All I can say right now, these changed my mind about Reese's Pieces. This new shape and size changes everything. The pieces are eggs shaped: fatter like marbles with one end a little pointier than the other. They come in festive pastel colors: green, yellow, blue and pink. The quality control here is excellent as there's little variation in shape and texture of the shells.
Taking my first bite, I realize immediately what makes them special. There's just more of everything. The shell is bigger and thicker, giving a more satisfying crunch and there's more peanut butter. Enough to pleasantly coat your tongue if you're patient enough to let it melt in in your mouth. This means there's much more flavor, obviously. Some things are the same though: the shells feels nice and smooth on the tongue and the peanut butter is creamy, sweet with that perfect kick of salt.
A glowing example of how a small change in format can change a so-so candy into something stellar. If only I could get Reese's Pieces like this year 'round! I'm definitely going to look for more of these as the Easter sales continue.

Questions to Ask About Treatment for Pancreatic Cancer
At first, the information you learn about treatment options may seem overwhelming. You can ease some of this stress by asking your doctor how soon you need to decide on treatment, and gathering as much information as possible about your disease and its treatment. That way, you can discuss any questions or issues with your doctors, nurses, and loved ones.
To make it easier to remember what your doctor says, take notes during meetings or ask if you can record your conversations. It may also help to have a family member or friend with you to take part in the discussion, take notes, or just listen. You may find it helpful to make a list of your questions before seeing your doctor. Use these questions as a starting place:
What treatments do you think are best for me and why?
What treatments do you think are not for me and why?
What is the goal of this treatment? To cure the cancer? To control it and help me live longer?
What is the success rate of this treatment for my type and stage of pancreatic cancer?
How much experience do you have treating this type of cancer?
Can I take my other medicines during the treatment period?
What is the length of the treatment period?
How long will each treatment take?
Where do I have to go for the treatment?
Who will give me the treatment?
How will I pay for treatment?
Does someone need to go with me during treatments?
How will I feel after the treatment?
What side effects can I expect to have?
How long will side effects last?
Are there side effects that I need to call you about? How do I reach you?
What can I do to ease the side effects?
Will I be able to go to work and be around my family?
Should I change my diet? What foods can't I eat?
Are there any clinical trials I should look into?
Are there support groups nearby that I can join?
Now is the time to be very honest with yourself about what side effects you can and cannot tolerate. Your first impulse may be to choose the treatment that removes or destroys your cancer at any cost. On the other hand, you might not want to accept any treatment because you believe it will cause undue suffering. However, the side effects of the treatment may be more or less bothersome than you thought. It is your doctor's duty to tell you what those side effects might be before the treatment, but it's up to you to think about them seriously and understand your options before making a decision.

Super Mario
The Party
Art collectors and a host of Mario Testino's striking subjects turned up for the opening of the famed fashion photographer's first L.A. gallery exhibition in seven years. The festivities continued long into the night with an after-party held at Suzanne Saperstein's Beverly Hills home, Fleur-de-Lys, where the A-listers shook off pre-Oscar jitters.
The Players
Naomi Campbell, Gisele Bündchen, J. Alexander, Alessandra Ambrosio, Poppy Delevingne, Russell Simmons, Benedikt Taschen, Jeffrey Deitch, Liberty Ross
The Highlights
Testino's colossal prints—many of which were more than 6 feet tall and 8 feet wide—covered every wall in the gallery with images of pink fluorescent disco balls, blissful beaches, lovers caught in a moment of passion and portraits he's taken during downtime between shooting covers for Vogue and Vanity Fair. "Every image has a common denominator: desire," said Testino. "It can be weather, nature or even a humanistic desire. All of these images spoke to me." One particular second-floor shot, an angelic black and white close-up of Kate Moss, caught guests' eyes. And one by one, they posed next to the photographer's long-standing muse to create portraits of their own.

The Evening Standard and Daily Mail both cover news of thuggish activity by members of Britain First who have launched a 'Christian Patrol' in east London haranguing Muslims and mosques with taunts like "If you want to live here, you abide by our rules."
Video footage has emerged of BF leader, Paul Golding, and his supporters engaging in vigilante activities around the East London mosque where they hoisted a banner which read "We are the British resistance."
Paul Golding, who is hoping to contest the European parliament elections later this year, said of his group's behaviour "If there was no Muslim Patrol there would be no Christian Patrol.
"We are patriotic, we are British and we are upholding the law... We are not a racist organisation."
The papers report that the Met police have been alerted to the video content but have made no arrests to date.
It is interesting that the article in the Daily Mail on the 'Muslim patrols' attracted in excess of 1200 comments while comments on the 'Christian patrols,' at the time of writing, number 150.

Evidence keeps compiling that regular exercise results in longer life by reducing the risks for cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes. In post menopausal women, regular vigorous exercise resulted in a lower risk for breast cancer. A recent study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, showed that women who exercised 3 times per week, averaging 50 minutes of exercise in the moderate to vigorous training zones per workout, resulted in statistically significant reductions in estradiol and free estradiol for this group. They also lost weight and increased other health measures. The study showed results consistent with a lower risk for breast cancer, according to Christine Friedenreich, PHD, of Alberta Health Services in Calgary, and colleagues.

On October 9, Carl Palmer, the acclaimed drummer and founding member of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and Asia, came to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum as part of the Museum's Legends series. Palmer is one of the great rock drummers. His playing ranges from the orchestral-like percussion of the Emerson, Lake & Palmer live album Pictures at an Exhibition (1971) to the powerful rock blast of the Asia hit "Heat of the Moment" (1982) – a track that also contains the sonic inspiration of Hal Blaine's boom-boom, boom-chak from the Ronettes' "Be My Baby."
During his Rock Hall appearance, Palmer candidly addressed his life – from his childhood in Birmingham, England, to an illustrious career that's included time in psychedelic act The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, prog rock innovators Atomic Rooster, platinum-selling ELP and Asia, and most recently the Carl Palmer Band. "I came from a family, half of whom worked in retail shops, the other half were musicians or worked in music," said Palmer. "The work I did with my dad working in our retail shops gave me my strong work ethic, but the fact there was always music being heard in my home had a lot to do with my desire to become a professional musician. I had a lot of support at home when I started out."
The sold-out audience was treated to the US debut of The Solo, directed by Andrew Cross. The 35-minute film features Palmer as he plays through five drum sequences, beginning with a snare solo and culminating with a full-kit performance that lasts more than 11 minutes. The film explores the idea of a drum solo as an art piece, as the many nuances of Palmer's drum work are captured through different camera perspectives that provide an intimate look at the art of percussion. After a viewing of The Solo, the audience watched a 21-minute video retrospective of Palmer's career that included extensive clips of his playing as drummer in ELP and ASIA.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum Director of Education Jason Hanley led an interview with Palmer, who reflected on pivotal career moments, entertaining the crowd with humorous and insightful anecdotes. "Right after I left Atomic Rooster to join the band ELP, the Rooster had a Number One song in England," said Palmer. "I said to myself, 'Oh God, what have I done?' But in the end, as you know, the decision worked out pretty well."
The Carl Palmer band began its US tour this week. Learn more at: www.carlpalmer.com

CLEVELAND (May 10, 2010) - The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is pleased to welcome Jon Anderson, lead singer of the progressive rock group Yes and renowned solo artist, for a special Legends Series interview on Friday, May 21 at 1:30 p.m. in the Rock Hall's Foster Theater.
Anderson will be interviewed by the Rock Hall's Director of Education Jason Hanley. Questions will be taken from the audience at the end of the interview. This event is free with a reservation. Please email email@example.com or call (216) 515-8426 to RSVP.
Anderson was born on October 25, 1944 in Accrington, Lancashire, England and joined his first band, the Warriors, with his brother Tony in 1962. Jon was introduced to bassist Chris Squire at the La Chasse club in London, and he joined Chris's group, Mabel Greer's Toyshop. The band changed its name to Yes and in 1969 was signed to Atlantic Records by Ahmet Ertegun after he saw them performing at London's Speakeasy Club. Between 1969 and 2001 Jon would record over twenty albums with Yes including Fragile (1972) and the smash success 90125 (1983). Throughout his career Anderson also recorded numerous solo albums beginning with Olias of Sunhillow in 1976, and several albums with keyboardist Vangelis including The Friends of Mr. Cairo (1981).

Last month, the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH) held a press conference to announce the release of their report entitled The State of Homelessness in America 2011, documenting the depiction of homelessness in America between 2008 and 2009. The report is available in summary format online with interactive maps or as a pdf download. We frequently see one image of homeless people depicted in the media, but the fact that no map is coded with a single color reflects that homelessness is not a uniform phenomenon. For instance, Vermont saw a 27 percent increase in overall homelessness while experiencing one of the lowest foreclosure rates. Michigan's overall homeless rate decreased by about 4 percent but it still has the highest unemployment rate, 13.6 percent. It's important to keep in mind that what may show as a benign color on the map may be far from favorable in reality. In South Dakota, which has the lowest severe housing cost burden, almost 60 percent of households below the poverty line are spending more than half their income on keeping a roof over their heads.
For those who are not so lucky, living without a residence can mean "sleeping rough," or out in the open, on a city street or in the woods. It can also mean fighting for an ever-moving square of space in a subway, train station or library. Others are eating, sleeping and washing according to someone else's rules in a shelter run by a church, public authority or private charity. In every case what dominates is the constant, wearing certainty that someone else—the person who tries to take your backpack, the shopkeeper who asks you to keep moving or the kindly shelter volunteer who serves up a meal not of your choosing—has more to say about your life than you do.
Being homeless could be the definition of a Catch-22. Jewel, a participant in the Oral History of Homelessness in Minnesota, shared her story.
According to the NAEH, about 25 percent of people who are homeless also live with a serious mental illness. We at NAMI can picture someone living with mental illness in one of these scenarios and easily grasp how many extra challenges this would pose for treatment and recovery. Keeping a hold of all your belongings is a full-time job, in addition to having to eat and do everything else on someone else's schedule, both of which may make taking medication regularly more difficult. Continuity of care is extremely rare for people relying upon uncertain transportation, walk-in clinics and poor insurance coverage. One of the most exhausting things is the environment itself. What must it be like for someone living with PTSD who has nowhere to go to get away from overwhelming stimuli, or someone living with schizophrenia who has no routine or support to help her establish a sense of continuity?
Perhaps it is easier for us because we are all too aware of how easy it is for someone to not be caught by the mental health system's safety net and end up on the street. We react to a group often called "the homeless" and recognize the syntax that feels wrong when people say "the mentally ill." It makes sense that this group, like any lumped together by a stereotype, would be made up of individuals with undiscovered talents and insight.
Dr. Daniel Kerr wrote about just this sort of discovery as part of the dissertation he wrote while working with the Cleveland Homeless Oral History Project. The name of his paper, "We Know What the Problem Is": Using Oral History to Develop a Collaborative Analysis of Homelessness from the Bottom Up" shows his move towards a more cooperative role as an academic studying homelessness.
Dr. Kerr reveals that while he was collecting the stories he found something unexpected: many of the individuals he interviewed had a good grasp of the big-picture forces that helped cause homelessness. Specifically, his participants mentioned real estate trends, the criminalization of poverty, growth of the temporary labor industry and changes in the welfare system, to name a few. He documented grassroots organizing efforts among homeless individuals, including the formation of a Day Laborers' Organizing Committee and a successful squatters' rights protest.
Perhaps the big picture hasn't been filled in with the proper solutions because these voices speaking from the bottom up haven't been included in the equation. Since the Arizona tragedy, the nation's eyes are turned towards stitching up the holes in our neglected safety net and NAMI has been trying to publicize the idea that investing in mental health treatment is less costly in the long run. The same can be said of homelessness. A report prepared for the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority found that "the typical public cost for residents in supportive housing is $605 a month. The typical public cost for similar homeless persons is $2,897." Yet the NAEH report says that federal dollars earmarked for targeting homelessness are scarce. Learn more about homelessness and mental illness on the NAMI website or in the Veterans Resource Center.

Removal of the urinary bladder means that urine produced by the kidneys will need to be stored and moved out of the body in a new way. The creation of a new place for urine to be stored and a way for it to leave your body is called reconstructive surgery. Your surgeon performs reconstructive surgery at the same time that you have your bladder removed. There are 2 main types of reconstructive surgery that can be performed:
Incontinent diversion. This is also called a urostomy. After this type of surgery, you no longer urinate the way you once did. You wear a bag on the outside of your body to collect urine.
Continent urinary diversion. This surgery creates a new bladder for you so that you can control when the urine leaves your body and do not have to wear a bag. There are 2 main types of this surgery. One type is cutaneous continent diversion, which requires that urine be drained though a hole in your abdomen called a stoma. This is done with a small plastic tube, called a catheter, several times a day. The other type is orthotopic neobladder, which is the creation of a new bladder that is emptied via your urethra the same way you did before surgery.
Your doctor does this surgery at the same time you are having your bladder removed by a radical cystectomy. This procedure is also called an ileal conduit procedure. For this procedure, your doctor takes a piece of your intestine and connects it to your ureters to direct urine through a small opening in your abdomen called a stoma. The urine passes out of the opening into a plastic bag that is attached to your skin. You then empty urine from the bag several times a day.
There are 2 main types of urinary diversion:
Cutaneous continent diversion
Orthotopic neobladder
During surgery, your doctor takes a piece of your intestine and connects it to your ureters to create a new path for your urine to flow. The urine is directed to a hole in your abdomen called a stoma. Your surgeon creates a valve that allows you to drain the pouch several times a day. You do this by inserting a tube, called a catheter, through an opening in your abdomen. The opening is often located near the belly button. Or it may be at another convenient place on your abdomen. The catheter drains urine out of the pouch into a container. You can then dispose of the urine in the toilet. Many people prefer this approach because they don't need to wear a urine collection bag on the outside of their body, as people would if they had a urostomy.
You can only have this type of surgery if your urethra was not removed during the surgery.
Your surgeon removes a piece of your intestine and creates a sac to hold urine. The new sac is called a neobladder or new bladder. It attaches directly to your ureters from the kidneys and to your urethra. With this approach, you can pass urine through your urethra, just as you did before the surgery. Compared with other reconstructive surgeries, this type most closely resembles your normal urinary system. Many people who have a neobladder say they feel the same urge to urinate as they did before surgery. It may take you awhile, though, to learn to recognize the sensations that mean you need to void. Urine control does not come immediately following the removal of your catheter. You will be given information on the routine you should follow to help train your new bladder.
While the completion of your surgery will bring relief to you and your loved ones, it may also awaken new concerns about how to live with the surgical changes and the impact of a cancer diagnosis. Be certain to ask your medical team for follow-up resources that will help you and your family manage not only the physical effects of the cancer treatment, but also the mental and emotional changes.

Okay east coasters, have you prepped yet? The recommendations are to stock up on food, water and batteries. I would hope you have much more than that.
Many haven't even started to get the minimum basics together and they will be the ones who will be wondering where the government is to help them. The lessons of Katrina are lost on them. Besides, it's probably already too late to get what you need by now anyway. Food items are disappearing fast off the store shelves.
The current track shows a storm moving northward toward a collision with an Artic cold front. The combination may form what is called "The Storm of the Century". Food, water and batteries may not be enough. Prepare to be without power with falling temperatures, limited transportation and few stores with even the basics open for business. It could last for several days (maybe weeks) as utility crews scramble to repairs downed power lines and road crews work to clear roads for travel.
U.S. East Coast battens down ahead of Hurricane Sandy
6:18pm EDT
* New York officials consider closing subway lines next week
* Utilities' response to any outages to be closely watched
By Barbara Goldberg
NEW YORK, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Governors up and down the U.S. East Coast declared states of emergency on Friday before a potential pounding from Hurricane Sandy, as authorities urged residents to stock up on food, water and batteries in case the storm lives up to forecasters' worst fears.
From the Carolinas to Maine, municipal authorities kept a close watch on forecasts tracking the shifting path of the fierce "Frankenstorm," which could come ashore on Monday with heavy rain, storm surges and near hurricane-force winds.
In New York City, officials were considering closing down bus and subway lines next week, a step taken only once before - when Hurricane Irene slammed the city in 2011.
New York, North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland declared states of emergency to free up resources. The District of Columbia also declared a state of emergency as the U.S. capital prepared for a possible hit.
Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell urged residents in coastal areas to prepare to evacuate before the storm hits and advised others in the state to stock up on provisions needed to get through any disaster.
"I encourage all Virginians to gather batteries, blankets, water, canned goods and other necessities prior to the anticipated onset of storm conditions," McDonnell said in a statement. "We could see severe weather lasting for 48 hours or more in the state."
The storm's likely impact on Virginia prompted Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign to cancel his Sunday night rally in Virginia Beach.
In Pennsylvania, officials warned about the dangers of driving during the storm, especially over roads and bridges already under water.
"Just a few inches of moving water can sweep away the average car," warned the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency in a statement. "Turn around, don't drown."
Gusts from the storm's 550-mile (890-km) wind field were being felt in southern Florida on Friday as the slow-moving hurricane that killed at least 41 people in the Caribbean roared toward the United States.
Forecasters dubbed it "Frankenstorm" because three merging weather systems were expected to meld into a single "hybrid" super storm.
Utilities from neighboring inland states readied staging areas so that crews could answer calls for help as they come in from stricken towns and cities along the East Coast.
The utilities' response to outages caused by Hurricane Sandy will be closely watched after they promised to correct problems in restoring electricity lost during Hurricane Irene and last year's freak October snowstorm - the worst outages in Connecticut history.
Massachusetts Energy Secretary Richard Sullivan told a news conference: "They are under strict scrutiny on their response to this particular storm. We are expecting that the level of service is going to be much higher."
Consolidated Edison in New York said it was gearing up for tidal surges that may be worse that during Irene.
"All company personnel and field crews are preparing for high winds, heavy rains and flooding conditions that could wallop electric, gas and steam systems when the storm moves into New York City and Westchester County," Con Ed said in a statement.
The utility pressed customers to heed safety tips regarding downed electrical wires and keeping flashlights at the ready as well as freezers closed during power outages.
Residents offered their own storm-preparation ideas on Facebook, Twitter and through email messages.
"I have a magnetic flashlight that adheres to the fridge. The idea is that, in case of a sudden blackout, we can always find the flashlight which will help us find the candles!" wrote Linda Federico-ó Murchú of Montclair, New Jersey, in response to a friend's Facebook request for tips.
"So, note to self: make sure batteries are fresh. Ditto cellphones charged up," she added.

Three News Photographers Murdered in Veracruz, Mexico
Three photographers who had covered organized crime and drug violence in the Mexican state of Veracruz were found dead yesterday, AP reports. The bodies of Guillermo Luna Varela, Gabriel Huge and Esteban Rodriguez were recovered from a wastewater canal near the port city of Veracruz, about 250 miles east of Mexico City. Their bodies had been dismembered and stuffed into black plastic bags. The Veracruz Attorney General's office also reported that their bodies showed signs of torture.
Their deaths, discovered on World Press Freedom Day, bring to seven the number of journalists killed in Veracruz in the past year and a half. "Veracruz has seen a wave of lethal anti-press violence that is sowing widespread fear and self-censorship," Carlos Lauria of Committee to Protect Journalists said in a statement. Lauria called on Mexico's government "to end the deadly cycle of impunity in crimes against the press."
Luna was a photographer on the crime beat for the web site veracruznews.com.mx who was last seen on Wednesday May 2. He was the nephew of Huge, a journalist who had been working for the local newspaper Notiver until he fled Veracruz after two of the newspaper's reporters were murdered last year. According to a fellow journalist who spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity, Huge had recently returned to the state. Esteban Rodriguez had been a photographer with the newspaper AZ until he too fled; according to some news reports, he had recently been working as a welder. Also found on the scene was the body of Luna's girlfriend, Irasema Becerra.

These days, we're all aching for a change of scenery. Winter is past and spring's arrival can't come fast enough. It's precisely this time of year that we also want a change inside our homes. Trust me, even home accessory retailers take notice of our desire for new surroundings. They actually experience a slight rise in sales during the early spring months. So, what to do during these transitional months? Why not cheer on Mother Nature on and welcome spring into your home! Here are four easy ways:
1. Flowers are obviously the easiest way but, don't think that you have to get a fresh arrangement from a florist every week. Get a bunch of tulips from the grocery store and put them in an antique mason jar or an old glass vase. Want something to last a little longer? Get a potted daffodil from the garden store and wrap a scrap of burlap around the plastic pot to make it more decorative. A collection of potted blooming plants will bring a fresh look to any space.
2. 'It's just a pillow,' is a motto around our office, but it is amazing how much pillows can add to a space. Try switching out your pillows for something brighter – something with a big pattern to bring in a new energy. They will instantly transform the space!
3. Chotskies, knick knacks, accessories – we all have them. Switch some of them out for something brighter or just move them around a bit. Try a different arrangement on the mantle or entry console. People will notice something is different, but will most likely not know what. It is an easy and inexpensive way to update a space.
4. A fresh coat of paint – now for some this might be huge. Don't stress! A coat of paint does not cost a lot and can be easily changed. Try an accent wall – paint the inside of a bookcase – get creative and paint something decorative in the kid's room. The sky is really the limit with this one.

Commissioners to meet Tuesday and discuss bus shelters
Published: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 4:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 4:52 p.m.
Davidson County commissioners will again discuss adding bus shelters to a circulating route in Thomasville.
The Davidson County Board of Commissioners will meet at 7 p.m. at the Davidson Governmental Center off North Main Street in Lexington.
Earlier this month, transportation officials informed the board about the availability of grant funding for new bus shelter construction in Thomasville.
The $80,000 Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement grant would require Davidson County to appropriate $20,000 in local match funding, totaling $100,000 for shelter construction, according to county records.
If approved, the project, which is also a part of the long-range State Transportation Improvement Program, would be completed by the end of 2013, according to county records.
Transportation officials launched an expanded Thomasville fixed bus route March 4, adding more than 20 new stops throughout the city.

ZF-2187: Zend_mail unitests crash on i5/OS
This error occurs only on i5/OS (both OS version v5R3 and v5R4) and didn't occur on Windows or Linux.
I ran AllTests.php on i5 with ZendCore 2.5.0 and bundled ZendFramework 1.02. When it got to the "Zend_Mail_InterfaceTest" I got segmentation fault crash. I guess it's on the test that wasn't in the report (I ran the tests with --log-tap), which is "testIterationWithSeek". Below you can find the report on the last test suite.
#TestSuite "Zend_Mail_InterfaceTest" started. ok 2021 - testCount(Zend_Mail_InterfaceTest) not ok 2022 - Error: testIsset(Zend_Mail_InterfaceTest) ok 2023 - testNotIsset(Zend_Mail_InterfaceTest) not ok 2024 - Error: testArrayGet(Zend_Mail_InterfaceTest) ok 2025 - testArraySetFail(Zend_Mail_InterfaceTest) not ok 2026 - Error: testIterationKey(Zend_Mail_InterfaceTest) not ok 2027 - Error: testIterationIsMessage(Zend_Mail_InterfaceTest) not ok 2028 - Error: testIterationRounds(Zend_Mail_InterfaceTest)
Plz check the mail function on the i5 machine. It's probably the mail() function that raise this error (as far as i checked, the mail function doesn't work properly on the i5 machine).
I don't have i5/OS, so I need a little help. The test you mentioned uses the LimitIterator. Does this crash? What's the output?<?php var_dump(__LINE__); $array = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); var_dump(__LINE__); $a = new ArrayIterator($array); var_dump(__LINE__); $l = new LimitIterator($a, 2, 2); var_dump(__LINE__); foreach ($l as $k => $v) { var_dump(__LINE__, $k, $v); } var_dump(__LINE__); ?>

Self-Service BI, Data Visualization, and Big Data Analytics
Over the last five years, Intel IT has evolved its approach to BI solutions for Intel's worldwide sales organization to enable rapid delivery of advanced self-service business intelligence (BI) and data visualization capabilities. By moving to a user-centered model and establishing stronger working partnerships with our sales groups, we can now deliver reports and dashboards to production in just two to four weeks—85 percent faster than in 2007.
Our self-service tools empower Intel sales groups to customize their reports, rapidly analyze information, make faster, better informed decisions, and respond quickly to business opportunities. In addition, by being self-service, these tools free IT staff to focus on developing more powerful analytics capabilities, instead of having to respond to routine report requests.
To develop these tools, we took a four-pronged approach.
• Establish a partnership framework for working closely with our sales groups to ensure optimal prioritization and management in aligning data delivery to business value.
• Adopt agile Scrum methodology for fast, iterative, and incremental software development for BI projects.
• Enable agile data architecture to streamline processes for making new data available, treating data as a product for self-service consumption.
• Implement more intuitive self-service BI using the software tools our users prefer, enabling them to get the best and fastest results.
Within the sales group, we are seeing year-over-year increases of 40 percent in utilization of our self-service BI solutions and reports. Our next steps include the addition of technologies for increasing the use of big data as part of our multiple BI data warehouse strategy and propagating the approach across all of Intel's business areas. Incorporating big data will enable business users to mine a broader range of data faster and more cost effectively. In addition, we are working on ways to more quickly deliver rich, consistent, and secure user experiences across a variety of form factors, particularly mobile devices.

this is a review segment that was inspired by the nostalgia critic
ok, so here's the premise. i take a new album or a remake/reissue of an artist, and compare it to an older/the original album.
its not too complicated.
today, i'll be tackling a very recent reissue, and compare it to its original release (issued in 2001).
this, is major organ and the adding machine!
ok, now here's the first comparison:
the organization:
ok, in the newer issue, there are 26 songs vs the original 19. the extra 7 songs really do add substance and 2 songs that are just beautifully presented. the only thing that really bugs me is the added filler tunes. 4 of the 7 new songs add nothing to the mix, and they actually feel like they ruin the ending with the remake of "what a wonderful world". the original was charming, adventurous, out of the norm, and ended with a powerhouse performance. less is more in this situation.
old wins in this situation.
the quality:
the sound is definitely more refined and remastered in the reissue. they even fixed a small loop issue in "your moonpie eye". i was really impressed how they truly wanted the reissue to be audibly superior to the original, even if the original has a timeless feel, but this isn't comparing its place in time.
new wins in this situation
and finally...
the value:
ok, now this is more of a personal preference, but i'll try not to be bias. the reissue has 26 songs, and a DVD with music videos and the major organ and the adding machine hour long motion picture, however, it comes in a cardboard case. the original album comes by itself in a hard plastic case. now, in my opinion, i HATE paper cases. they are easy to destroy, they look cheaply made, and they are incredibly unappealing to me. another problem i have with the new one is that the motion picture is sort of a letdown, even if it does have a few laughs (but you'd probably not buy it unless you knew you were getting into something weird). and as for the album, i personally love the original issue because of its simplicity, its plastic case which should be manditory, and it has the artwork that the reissue leaves out.
its really a personal preference of quality vs. quantity, and i'd have to side with the old on this one. you may like the extra content and the movie, but i'd rather have a timeless album with just enough in it to be a fun time, and not seem cluttered.
old wins overall!!!
i'll continue to find albums to review in this fashon, and i'll also take requests
thanks for reading!

I'm too involved in the battle at hand to play games, not even games that gamble the soul. The only thing that can stop this war now is the World Cup or a Groovy world title shot.

carry on chaps
Oh hi Mario, I didn't realize you had started posting. <3
I really shouldn't do homework until I look at PD and see what's going down...
What does this look like, spectator sport? This is war! Why sit back when you can join in. I've left them mortally wounded, you do the job of finishing them off as you please. This is a war of the people. The people of Ansi fort vs the Million man army of Tang! And here we will make the ground CRUMBLEEE!
Mario, you're right.
Nocturne, lay off. You know I like you more than most people here but you realy are acting like a complete idiot. Do yourself a favor and shut the hell up.
I wish Chrizz was here right now.
Good to have you aboard, Xion. We need all the good posters we can in this WAR. Please start coming on like you KEEP PROMISING.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
I will pledge my services to this campaign.
Who will he be? I was thinking maybe Dae Jungsang, but I don't know if we can give him the honor of being Dae Joyoung's dad.
A war against Nocturne, how the Hell could I resist?
I do think Gulsabiwu fits a little bit, but he was long after Ansi.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
I don't think generation matters too much.
Maybe Namsang. Gulsibiwu is too close to Dae Joyoung for anyone to attain.
I don't know where the fuck you get off prosecuting me when you haven't seen me post since you left.

Fall line erosion can only be fixed by rerouting the trail to new IMBA standards. Changing 75% of the trail is just not going to happen. I think there have only been 2 reroutes to fix erosion in the last ten years. One of the reroutes was a step sand hill that could not be climbed when dry. Rerouting to fix erosion is more then double work because the old trail should restored. This restoration usually means installing water dams and reforestation. It can take 4 to 6 man hours to build one water dam.
Fortunately Bald Mountain remains one the last fall line trails in Michigan.
A little sand is a small price to pay.
All this, and previous "administrations" have been less than fully on-board with the MMBA doing anything out there. We (CRAMBA) are trying to cultivate ties with the current LM, and have hope for the future. Any change will be evolutionary rather than revolutionary.
OTOH, there is hardly any trail in the area I'd rather ride in the Fall than Bald Mtn. North, even the way it is.
I'm just surprised that 75% of the trail is fall line.. it never seemed THAT hilly to me.
