Men's Hoops Edged By Central Connecticut State, 53-52
Dec 9, 2003
UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) - Ron Robinson's two free throws with 5.6 seconds left gave Central Connecticut a 53-52 victory over Massachusetts Tuesday night at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
Robinson was fouled by Gabe Lee on a drive to the basket, and his two free throws gave him 21 points for the game.
UMass then inbounded the ball and Central committed its sixth foul of the half. Anthony Anderson of UMass then lost his dribble to Justin Chiera and the Blue Devils (2-1) had the victory.
Rashaun Freeman's 15 points led UMass (2-4).
Both teams were without a starter. Central forward Obie Nwadike was sick with a stomach disorder and didn't make the trip. UMass guard Art Bowers was recovering from a sprained right ankle.
Central was 5-for-10 on 3-pointers, with DeMario Anderson hitting 3-of-5, keeping them close to UMass in the first half.
The Blue Devils got into foul trouble in the first half, with Robinson and Rich Pittman sitting on the bench for nearly 10 minutes with two personals apiece.
With Robinson and Pittman on the bench, the Minutemen took advantage on the inside. Freeman scored 11 points to help the Minutemen to a 31-27 halftime advantage.
The Minutemen widened their lead to 41-32 early in the second half. But
Central then outscored UMass 19-8 and took a 51-49 lead on a Robinson hook with
just over four minutes to play.

The four talented men who will represent the U.S. in the nordic combined events at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia were officially nominated by the nation's Ski and Snowboard Association on Jan. 22.
The athletes headed to Sochi include Todd Lodwick, who initially earned his berth on the team by winning the sport's Olympic trials on Dec. 28; Billy Demong; and brothers Taylor Fletcher and Bryan Fletcher.
Sochi will represent the 37-year old Lodwick's sixth Olympic experience, as he previously competed in 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006 and 2010. Although he finished a heartbreaking fourth in the individual 10 km cross country event in Vancouver, he earned a silver medal in the team competition that followed. The medal was the nation's first ever in the nordic combined team event.
The 2014 Olympics will be Demong's fifth Winter Games, as he previously competed in 1998, 2002, 2006 and 2010. In addition to the team silver medal, Demong, 33, won gold in the individual large hill event at the Vancouver Games. It was the first gold ever won by a U.S. athlete in a nordic combined event.
Brothers Taylor and Bryan Fletcher, who represent the nation's seventh sibling pair nominated to the Sochi Games, round out the team. Taylor, 23, competed in Vancouver, while Bryan, 27, will make his Olympic debut in Russia.
Nordic combined action from Sochi begins Feb. 12 with the individual normal hill competition.

John Neely Earns Second All-America Award From CBI
Neely earns his second All-American award following a standout junior season
July 14, 2011
2011 CollegeBaseballInsider.com All-America Teams
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech junior right-handed pitcher John Neely (Sugarland, Texas) collected his second All-America honor this season when CollegeBaseballInsider.com selected him as an honorable mention All-American as a relief pitcher on Thursday.
Neely, who was named a third team All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association on June 15, becomes the first Red Raider to earn multiple All-American awards in a season since 2005, when Cameron Blair was named to three teams (Collegiate Baseball, NCBWA, USA Today).
Neely paced the Red Raider bullpen this season with a 9-1 record in 30 appearances (all relief) with a 2.97 ERA, seven saves and 60.2 innings pitched with 56 strikeouts. He led Texas Tech in wins, ERA, appearances, saves, strikeouts and opponent batting average (.266).
He is only the third Red Raider to be named All-American since 2000, joining Cameron Blair (2004, 2005) and Josh Brady (2004).
Neely was named to a pair of national award watch lists, including the NCBWA Midseason Stopper of the Year list and to the National Pitcher of the Year list. He was one of only five pitchers in the nation to be named to both prestigious lists.
Neely's efforts as a junior placed him in several Tech single-season all-time record books, including appearances (2nd), winning percentage (T-3rd) and saves (6th).
Following a standout season, Neely was also named All-Big 12 second team by the league and earned All-Big 12 second team honors by the Waco Tribune-Herald. Neely went the entire season without allowing a home run, and dating back to 2010, Neely has gone 64.1 innings without allowing a long ball.
In addition, Neely's 2.97 ERA is the lowest by a Red Raider since 2006 (Colt Hynes, 2.93) and ranked 11th in the conference this season. His win total placed him fifth in the Big 12.

Going for the Gold
I know, it sounds great! We beat the Australians tonight in order to advance to the gold medal match against the Netherlands. The Dutch were victorious over the Hungarians and will be a great opponent in the last game. It is such a great feeling, knowing that regardless of the outcome we will be standing on the podium with medals around our necks. Obviously, we're going for the top of the podium - one last victory and an opportunity to sing our national anthem. It is also great to have a sense of accomplishment with your training and preparation - we weren't wasting our time.
My family was ecstatic - Eric, Zack (younger brother) and Mary (Zack's friend) all painted their faces with the stars and stripes. I had blue and red paint all over my face. My mother was crying, and my father was proud. I've been getting a ton of e-mails from friends and relatives telling me how proud they are of our team.
I also had a friend from high school, Reyna Hernandez, drop by the stadium. I couldn't miss her. She was yelling "Golda!!! Golda!!!" before the game began, and afterward, she jumped on me and was so excited that I had to peel her off me. She told me, "I'm coming to EVERY Olympics you're playing in!!!"
Another cool story - I didn't want to post it yesterday, call me superstitious. Moriah van Norman was in the dining hall yesterday eating with Lauren Wenger when a man approached her and said, "You have done or are about to do something great." Moriah responded with, "Wow, we are in the semifinals tomorrow." The man nodded, smiled and left. Moriah noticed that the man was from Oman, which sounds like omen, and she told the entire team her story last night. I told her I would write about her in my blog, so make sure you tell her that you read her story.

Numerous nutritionists sometimes recommend eating low-acid foods for healthier bones and to possibly protect against macular degeneration, and even dementia. The present emphasis on low-acid diets differs from the standard Food Pyramid taught in most Sacramento university and community colleges when taking nutrition classes. Rather than look at fad diets, it's more important to see the collective work of studies that examine how blueberries help bones, brain, and eyes. You may wish to check out the website, "Simplifying Key Details For Lower Blood Pressure."
Should you be eating a low-acid diet for healthier bones? According to the World's Healthiest Foods site, the article posted there on blueberries notes that, "In laboratory animal studies, researchers have found that blueberries help protect the brain from oxidative stress and may reduce the effects of age-related conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or dementia."
Here's how to use blueberries to possibly help prevent bone loss and dementia. When you cook with family members and friends remember that dairy is acidic. If you drink milk and eat animal protein to excess, include a lot more alkalizing foods--vegetables and fruits. Otherwise your acidic, high-protein diet will draw the calcium right out of your teeth and bones, causing bone loss and later, possibly dementia.
Researchers found that diets rich in blueberries significantly improved both the learning capacity and motor skills of aging animals, making them mentally equivalent to much younger ones." In Sacramento one way that you can emphasize an alkaline diet for healthier bones by attending any of the holistic wellness through food classes or associations that run events throughout the year where you can learn how to eat for energy or use berries in moderation for wellness. One way to start is to learn how to cook with kids using berries and other alkaline foods in moderation to help inspire children to eat more varieties of berries.
Serving seasonal meals means usually featuring local organic produce
Regarding the eating of more low-acid foods in moderation and balance for healthier bones, scientific studies show that there's too much protein causing osteoporosis in the USA and Europe. The question is should you be eating a low-acid, higher alkaline diet for healthier bones? Scientific studies recommend eating seven to thirteen of vegetables and some fruits, but more vegetables than fruits.
Some people are born with a gene that makes vegetables taste bitter on the back of their tongue. Others don't taste any bitter qualities of vegetables. Children usually will let you know if they are tasting bitterness in vegetables. Those that don't taste bitterness in vegetables such as broccoli, usually eat more vegetables without protesting.
The minerals in fruits and vegetables in more than 100 studies showed improved bone mineral density in 85 percent of cases studied compared to 52 percent improvement of cases studied for persons taking calcium supplements, according to the article, "The Calcium Myth," by Michael Castleman, published in the August 2009 issue of Natural Solutions magazine. Check out, "The Calcium Myth | Natural Solutions." Or see, "Acid and Alkaline in Your Diet - AdduHealth.com."
The article notes the 16 nutrients needed for healthier bones. A largely animal-protein based diet is acidic. A largely vegetable and fruit diet is alkaline. That's the big picture--that a low acid diet helps prevent bone loss. The article emphasizes that meat and dairy contain five to 10 times more protein per serving than fruits and vegetables.
The alkaline materials from vegetables and fruits neutralizes some of the acids you get from eating animal protein. When your body has too much acid from eating animal proteins, your body draws calcium from your bone and dumps it into your bloodstream. That's how bone loss occurs from eating too much animal protein.
According to Dr. Christopher's Herbal Legacy site, "American women have been consuming an average of two pounds of milk per day for their entire lives, yet thirty million American women have osteoporosis. Drinking milk does not prevent bone loss. Bone loss is accelerated by ingesting too much protein, and milk has been called 'liquid meat.'"
Balance is the answer
Also see the book, Building Bone Vitality McGraw Hill Professional (May 2009) by Amy J. Lanou, Ph.D and Michael Castleman. The book's overview notes, "Calcium pills don't work. Dairy products don't strengthen bones. Drugs may be dangerous." The answer is balance.
Interestingly, eating fresh blueberries is not as good as eating frozen or cooked blueberries because the oxalates in the fresh blueberries may interfere with the absorption of calcium from your body. But frozen blueberries don't have this problem.
Blueberries do protect against macular degeneration and bone loss. In recent studies, fruit intake has been shown to be definitely protective against the severe form of this vision-destroying disease.
The statements about blueberries being protective for your brain are true, but if you look at the studies, they were done on animals with the opinion that if blueberries prevent bone loss on rats, usually blueberries also will prevent bone loss with humans.
Bone Loss Prevention and Blueberries
Check out many medical and scientific articles at the Free Library by Farlex with more than five million articles and books. It's the anthocyanidins in the blueberries that help to recycle the rest of the vitamins in your body. Anti-inflammatory properties of blueberries work to strengthen your blood vessels.
Some of the blueberry studies on bone loss prevention were done on rats. To read more on the subject, see scientific and medical journal articles studying the effects of blueberries on preventing bone loss, such as the following: "Blueberry prevents bone loss in ovariectomized rat model of postmenopausal osteoporosis," Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, 19:694-99, 2008.
Also see: "Phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity of Georgia-grown blueberries and blackberries," Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry, 50: 2432-8, 2002. And also check out the article, "Potential role of dietary flavonoids in reducing microvascular endothelium vulnerability to oxidative and inflammatory insults," Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, 13:282-8, 2002.
Blueberries and blackberries not only help prevent bone loss in animals (and hopefully in humans as well) but also cleanse your guts. If you have a choice, buy locally-grown blueberries.
Blackberries also are similar their effects. But they have those little seeds that are harder on your teeth. You can put blackberries in smoothies. Try a shake or smoothie in your blender using locally-grown and home-frozen organic blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, and a banana.
Use a mixture of water and pomegranate or cherry juice for the liquid part of the smoothie and toss in a handful of raw almonds. What you're really trying to do with berries is repair cell membranes and prevent bone loss.
Before you jump to the conclusion that the studies were done with rats and don't apply to humans, think again. Blueberries really are good for the human body, including the brain, eyes, and bones, in moderation, of course.
Just a quarter of a cup serving will do the job. You don't need to eat two cupfuls of blueberries daily. That's too much fruit sugar, resulting in a rush of insulin into your bloodstream. Less is more. Blueberries also make a great topping for other foods.
Heating changes the polyphenol content of blueberries and possibly their health benefits
Baking the super food, blueberries changes their polyphenol content -- and possibly their health benefits, says a recent study, "Berry (Poly)phenols and Cardiovascular Health," published in print in 2014 and online September 23, 2013 in the the American Chemical Society (ACS') Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. That article is part of the 2013 Berry Health Benefits Symposium special issue. Anthocyanin levels decreased during cooking, proving, and baking. When eating blueberries, you want to keep their healthy phyto nutrients, properties such as anthocyanin, procyanidin, flavonol, and phenolic acid contents of berries, for example, wild blueberries.
Blueberries are called a "superfood" for their high polyphenol content, but when served as warm, gooey pie filling or when lending bursts of sweet flavor to a muffin, their "super" health benefits change. Scientists studied how cooking and baking affect the increasingly popular fruit's polyphenols and reported their mixed findings — levels of some of these substances rose while others fell.
Ana Rodriguez-Mateos and colleagues note that eating blueberries is associated with several health perks including improved thinking, reduced risk for heart disease and reduced inflammation, according to the October 30, 2013 news release, "Baking blueberries changes their polyphenol content -- and possibly their health benefits."
Research suggests that a set of natural plant compounds called polyphenols lend the fresh fruit these benefits. But consumers don't always enjoy blueberries raw. Some methods of processing, such as juicing and canning, lower polyphenol levels by 22 to 81 percent. However, no studies have tested whether using blueberries in breads, muffins or pies affects their polyphenol content. Rodriguez-Mateos' team sought to test the stability of these health-promoting compounds during cooking, proofing (when the dough rises before cooking) and baking.
The researchers found that all three processes had mixed effects on blueberries' polyphenols including anthocyanin, procyanidin, quercetin and phenolic acids. Anthocyanin levels dropped by 10 to 21 percent
The levels of smaller procyanidin oligomers got a boost while those of the larger ones dipped. Phenolic acid levels increased. Other compounds such as quercetin remained constant. They say that the good retention of polyphenols observed in their study might be due to the use of yeast, which may act as a stabilizing agent during baking. "Due to their possible health benefits, a better understanding of the impact of processing is important to maximize the retention of these phytochemicals in berry-containing-products," the researchers state, according to the October 30, 2013 news release, "Baking blueberries changes their polyphenol content -- and possibly their health benefits."
The authors cite funding from the Alpro Foundation. You also may wish to check out another research article, "100 Years of the Maillard Reaction: Why Our Food Turns Brown."
What happens when blueberries are heated?
In research published online October 2, 2013 in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, "Impact of Cooking, Proving, and Baking on the (Poly)phenol Content of Wild Blueberry," Accumulating evidence suggests that diets rich in (poly)phenols may have positive effects on human health. Currently there is limited information regarding the effects of processing on the (poly)phenolic content of berries, in particular in processes related to the baking industry, say the researchers, according to the study's abstract.
This study investigated the impact of cooking, proving, and baking on the anthocyanin, procyanidin, flavonol, and phenolic acid contents of wild blueberry using HPLC with UV and fluorescence detection. Anthocyanin levels decreased during cooking, proving, and baking, whereas no significant changes were observed for total procyanidins. However, lower molecular weight procyanidins increased and high molecular weight oligomers decreased during the process.
Quercetin and ferulic and caffeic acid levels remained constant, whereas increases were found for chlorogenic acid. Due to their possible health benefits, a better understanding of the impact of processing is important to maximize the retention of these phytochemicals in berry-containing products.

New York City Animal Care and Control Brooklyn's shelter has been deluged with dozens of stray cats left at the door locked in milk crates and taped in shopping crates reports the New York Daily News. Eleven cats appeared on the shelter's doorstep on August 15 sealed in eight containers and left in a shopping cart.
Now just three days later, another dozen cats were abandoned in the same manner. No one knows who is doing this, however the cats are not hurt and seem pretty healthy.
Most shelters are overwhelmed and overcrowded with dogs and cats; especially during the summer months. Some of the cats have already found homes, but the shelter is asking the public for help and to spread the word about the beautiful cats available for adoption.
The shelter director, Risa Weinstock hoped the person(s) who dropped the cats off would come forward just to provide some background information for the cats which makes it easier to find these cats adoptive homes.
"Our goal is to re-home unclaimed animals that come our way, and having more details about an animal's background significantly helps our efforts at doing so," Weinstock told the Daily News.

Home to Positive Atheism
Go to Previous || Next
When CRT opened, we billed it as an "oasis" of sanity in a sea of superstition. A television reporter asked various members what we meant by that. I parroted something about the difficulty of being taken seriously as an out-of-the-closet Atheist. But four years later, I'm still not sure I know the answer to his question.
Sure. We come to the Center and meet with others who, like us, do not rely on so-called comfortable myths. It's good to discuss my doubts with those who will not write me off for doubting. Still, I'm not getting from the Center what I think I want from it. Perhaps I seek the same unattainable "something" I longed for when I desired the comforts of religion. Then again, perhaps what I'm finding out is that it can be cold and lonely out here in "reality" and that there is no real answer -- no real "oasis."
I've spent a lot of time wondering how to be myself and still function in my environment. If I take my viewpoints too seriously, I become very miserable. Perhaps I need to strike a balance with my atheistic views, realizing that most people disagree with me. When discussing atheism with a curious believer, I try to make it clear that I do not care what an individual believes, only when the government supports a plan that is specifically and exclusively religious.
I spend most of my time outside of the "oasis." What if I were the only non-Mormon worker in a small company? Should I be candid about my views? And what if I fell deeply in love with a devout Christian? Suppose we found that we see eye-to-eye in every respect except this one. Could we keep the flame going when times get tough?
I think any clues I might find will probably end up coming from right between my ears. As an atheist, I do not seek help "from above" (whatever that means); as a humanist, I know the best answers for me come from myself or, perhaps, with other humans. But if I think I'm going to find "the" answer -- the "oasis" -- I am probably fooling myself. What I thought might be an "oasis" has turned out to be one hell of a struggle. I think I like that!

TC TO JEAN CARLYLE AITKEN ; 5 March 1857; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18570305-TC-JCA-01; CL 32: 96-97
Chelsea, 5 March, 1857—
Dear Jean,
However hurried, I ought to write you a word to quiet your anxieties whh I see you are beginning to entertain about our poor Patient here. She is really very weakly, and suffers and has suffered a great deal,—coughing (frequent and irritative tho' not deep), want of sleep (always more or less, sometimes total), then want of strength, of appetite, and all manner of wants. She has really had a very sickly winter, and is weak and thin as you can suppose: but I have never been in serious alarm about her either, nor has she ever been,—we trust always with confidence in "the good weather," if it would but come. The other night (just about the time you wrote) she did thoroughly frighten Miss Jewsbury and the Maid,—even I myself, more used to such phenomena, was not without qualms, so violent was the affair: a violent 3 or 4 hours of incessant retching (without anything brought up), with spasms, nausea, and frightful pain;—right glad we all were to see that terminate, and some sleep follow, about 2 in the morning!1 I hoped and tried to believe, all the while, it might be some salutary clearing of the liver, and a crisis to the disorder: she is accordingly perceptibly better ever since; and I am again flattering myself we see land: but there is no counting in such cases! I have spoken to her more than once about sending for a Doctor; but she always pushes that away: and indeed it is too true I do not know any person here whose advice I could reckon certainly to be worth one doit in regard to such a case. So we keep hoping, and doing a very little plain medicine, on our own score. This is a true statement of the matter; about whh you need not alarm yourself: let us trust that before long I may be able to send you some better report.
For my own share I reckon myself to be obscurely yet perceptibly improved from what I was. No man can ride more diligently and regularly 2½ or 3 hours every day (today I had a beautiful solitary canter in Richmond Park,—6 miles away2); I am perfectly quiet too, my whole industry (which alas is not great!) is directed on the horrible Job I have (by far the hatefullest and most disgustingly fashous contemptible and difficult I ever was in): it goes on slower than snails; but I do drive it, and will inch by inch end it if I live!— No more at present. The weather is dry, cool, sometimes pleasantly sunny. All the world is in great tift abt change of ministry, and Dissolution of Parlt that there is to be:3 I cannot pretend to care one farthing about any such matter. Fraser is gone by Scotsbrig.4 God bless you and yours dear Sister— T. Carlyle

my mod_wsgi/django app has ~2s response time with or without memcached in-memory caching.
response is the same 2s with or without DNS resolution (i.e. with direct IP request)
for comparison, a simulaneously running mediawiki php process running with APC has sub-second response.
the machine is not out of memory and I can tell that memcached uses up some space.
I've seen the same django app run twice faster on some other machine (of which I unfortunately know little details, but it seems to be running on webfactional) my machine is dedicated host.

A Doctor Reclaims His Health with Superior Diet
Editor's Note: Thomas Boeve, MD, an Otolaryngologist from Virginia, shares his story and talks about the good time he had at this year's Health Getaway at Hawks Cay.
Dear Dr. Fuhrman, I would like to take a minute of your and Lisa's time to thank you for incredible info-packed week at Hawks Cay this past week.
As you may recall, I am an Otolaryngologist in Virginia, but am scheduled to leave for Kenya with my wife, Jolene, and 4 children in January to begin a training program for African Surgeons. Unfortunately, I also have a terrible family history of heart disease as my mother died at age 56 from her first, and only, heart attack and my father and grandfather had open-heart surgery prior to age 65.
So, in March, I scheduled my physical exam and blood work. Unfortunately, the stark reality of the "Standard American Diet" was evident. I weighed 190 lbs, blood pressure 140/100 (on Lisinopril), Total Cholesterol was 204 (LDL 133). I was also on Allegra for environmental allergies, Prevacid for reflux disease, and a multivitamin.
I contacted a Cardiothoracic Surgeon friend-of-mine and he suggested stronger BP medicine and a Statin drug, as soon as possible. It was then that my wife introduced me to Eat To Live. She had found and read the book a few months prior, but knew I would not be interested. However, knowing how badly I wanted to be "medicine-free" in Kenya and did not want to follow in my family's cardiac footsteps, she recognized the opportunity.
Without any additional medicine (3 months later), I now weigh 153 lbs, blood pressure is 107/72 (off medicine), total cholesterol is 133 (LDL 71). Furthermore, I am off my allergy and reflux medicine and feeling fantastic. My 12 year-old son was also able to quit his antihistamine and steroid nasal spray despite being plagued by debilitating springtime allergies for several years.
Thank you, again, for all your research, knowledge and desire to enhance our health through nutritional excellence.

I live and die through England
Through England
It leaves a sadness
Remedies never were within my reach
I cannot go on as I am
Withered vine reaching
From the country that I love
England, you leave a taste
A bitter one
I have searched for your springs
But people, they stagnate with time
Like water, like air
To you, England, I cling
Undaunted, never failing
Laugh for you, England

It's January in San Rafael and the temperature drops to about 45 degrees at night. A group of seniors were making quilts in a ballroom at the Embassy Suites hotel and most of their doors were open. A young woman entered the lobby area outside of the ballroom and she sat quietly in a chair in the far corner to log into her laptop. She discovered that the battery was dead and so she politely asked one of the ladies for permission to plug in her laptop in the ballroom. They kindly said yes, she plugged in her laptop and quietly left. While she was gone the ladies called the hotel's front desk to complain that there's a homeless woman in the building.
Freshly washed hair, clean clothes, quiet, polite. If she hadn't asked for permission to plug in her laptop then they wouldn't have known that she was homeless. But she did and they figured it out. Instead of inviting her inside to get out of the cold night air, as they should have, they contacted the manager to have her removed from the hotel. Why?
The hotel manager on duty kicked her out of the hotel because she wasn't a guest. It's common for non-guests to frequent the hotel to have a drink in the bar or to eat dinner at the Grille 101 restaurant on the ground floor. They're spending money and she's not, but what harm has she done? Was this really necessary?

I'm about to buy a samsung USB G2 5ooGB, or a western digital 500GB USB Essential
In their specs, none of them say they work on linux. I'm almost sure they do work fine, just like my 4 GB pen drive
But I'd like to be sure before buying any of them.
By working fine I mean being able to format, read, and write them just like I do with my 4GB pen drive (I format them usgin palimpsest, and mount, read, and write to them just like with any other drive, without requiring any custom software and / or driver and / or compiling my own kernel or anything like that)

The 2014 Aspen Music Festival, in Aspen, Colorado, under the banner of the "New Romantics" will feature appearances this summer by several well-known pop music stars, including the legendary Tony Bennett and singer/songwriter/composer Rufus Wainright.
For its 65th anniversary season, the festival will also mark the return of an Aspen Music School alumna Midori. The violinist will be performing at the Benedict Music Tent for the first time since 2003. Another highly anticipated appearance is that of jazz guitarist and composer Bill Frizzell with "The Great Flood," his evening-long suite about the Mississippi River flood of 1927.
Under the "New Romantics" rubric, concerts and opera performances will include works by composers from Tchaikovsky, Brahms and Beethoven to contemporary masters including Lowell Liebermann, Mason Bates, Dejan Lazić, and Matthias Pintscher.
According to Aspen Music Festival Maestro Robert Spano, "Romanticism is a way of viewing the world. It's a lens through which to peer at life's great arcs. You can look through that lens, or you can shun it, but just as humanity repeats itself, so our musical obsession with Romanticism is a soundwave that ebbs and flows. Yet it is always there, a refrain that, perhaps, marks our humanity."
Among the season highlights: Steven Osborne playing the Ravel Piano Concerto; fast-rising conductor Hannu Lintu with Prokofiev's Fifth Symphony; Jane Glover conducting Haydn's Cello Concerto with Aspen alumna Alisa Weilerstein on a program with works by Strauss and Beethoven; Aspen alumnus Gil Shaham's return with Bartók's Second Violin Concerto; and Simon Trpceski's return to play Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2. Aspen alumni Joshua Bell, Sarah Chang and Yefim Bronfman are also on the schedule.
"Combining the vibrancy of young emerging talent with the seasoned voices of the masters has always defined the experience in Aspen," said President and CEO Alan Fletcher.
The season opens June 26 and runs through August 17. A full schedule and tickets are available on the Aspen Music Festival website.

Leanna Harris, the mom of the boy who died when his father left him in a hot car for over seven hours, is now being investigated as a possible accomplice in this homicide case. From the time she found out her son was dead through his funeral proceedings, her demeanor has not been that of a grieving mother. Some of the comments she has made in police presence have been seen as self-incriminating.
According to CNN News on July 7, when Leanna Harris went to pick up her son, Cooper, at daycare the day he died, the staff told her that her husband never dropped him off that day. She thought a second then said, "Ross must have left him in the car," according to the daycare staff.
When the staff told her there could have been numerous reasons he didn't bring the boy to daycare that day, she wouldn't hear of it and insisted he left him in the car. This was bizarre almost as if she had some prior knowledge as to what was going to take place that day.
The mother of the dead child has shown little emotion in this case, chewing gum and keeping her head down while in the courtroom when her husband was being arraigned. Even her mother-in-law asked her why she wasn't crying now that her son was dead. She didn't seem to shed a tear. Her demeanor was not seen as what you would expect from a mother devastated over the loss of her son, suggests News Max today.
Leanna told police that "losing her child in a hot car was her worse fear." After her husband was arrested she made another odd remark while the two were in the interview room. Her husband said to her that their son looked peaceful when he was found dead. "I dreaded how he would look," was what was said next.
Leanna also said to her husband at one point during the interview process, "Well, did you say too much?" When Leanna spoke at her son Cooper's funeral, she said a few more things that were considered odd.
She said in the eulogy that she was "happy" that Cooper would miss some of the sadness in life like losing his grandparents and then losing his parents. She said she was "happy" that Cooper would miss some of life's letdowns, which included his first heartbreak.
Then she offered the biggest jaw dropper yet saying:
"I miss him with all of my heart. Would I bring him back? No. To bring him back into this broken world would be selfish." she said. She ended the eulogy saying she wasn't angry with her husband and that he was a "wonderful daddy."
Both Leanne and her husband had searched online for information on children dying in hot cars and information on animals dying in hot cars. This type of death is painful and police did report that Cooper would have suffered in that car. So far Leanne has not faced any charges. Leanne's own words and actions are now leaning the investigators in her direction, this may lead to charges coming along soon.

When my wife called to say she was buying a bounce house for the boys (age 5,6,8) I was hesitant to get one from the internet. We have been renting them three times a year, for about over atleast $100 at time, so we felt it would be a good idea to buy one. As usual, she proved me wrong. My Kids adore this things. The overall height was low, and since we wanted something we could use inside and out, we decided to go with the Superstar, because it seemed like the best value. The Super Star turned out to be bigger than I expected, but it still fits in our garage, which is a huge bonus for us when it's cold. We put a tarp on the floor underneath it. The picture looks like it's open, but the front actually velcro's shut so the kids are kept inside with no problem. Our boys treat it like you'd expect - like it's a big wrestling ring. It worked out pretty well, and I think the ideal age range is 3-8. Our 8 year old is big for his age, and he likes playing in it, but the younger kids seem to like it even more. They want to sleep in it, but I don't know how they'd be able to sleep in it with the fan going the whole time. Buying the bounce house online and not being able to test it person worried me. Now that I see my 3 boys on it having an amazing time, I am so glad my wife purchased it. This summer we have been setting the Super Star up outside. The boys play on the bouncer for a few hours before coming inside exhausted.
* Easy to set up
* Can be used indoors and outdoors
* Tires the kids out!
* Has lasted me six months with no problems
* Comes with a carrying bag
* Blows up and is ready to use in only a couple of minutes
* Low overall height (I think 7ft or so)
* Takes about 10 minutes to roll the bouncer tightly for storage
* The air blower is loud, but a lot quieter then the rental bounce house blowers we have used in the past (louder than a hair dryer, not as loud as a vacuum).

Eight months later, couple is still running despite cancer
In February, Catano said her hair was thinning to the point that her nephew compared her to Smeagol, or Gollum, from "The Lord of the Rings" and she knew it was time to shave it off. The couple decided to make it a party, ordered pizza and invited a number of family members and friends to join them.
Dorais went bald with his new bride, as did others, including some who he said didn't even know Catano that well, but agreed to go under the clippers without hesitation. It was just one of many times when they were buoyed up by those around them.
"We've had incredible support from my family, Jason's family, friends, strangers, and I think that has really made a huge difference in this whole process is having people who are there to care about you," Catano said.
Her family and friends set up a Fighting with Amanda page on Facebook where they post updates about her progress and people leave words of support and encouragement.
"We're not the best at getting back to people when they comment, but it's so appreciated," she said. "The fact that people take the time to stay updated on what's going on in our life and take the time to leave messages..."
Catano said one post was about a girl who cut her hair for Locks of Love in her honor. At the Corner Canyon Ultra Trail Run 50K in June, people turned out to run for Catano.
"The support has been completely mind-blowing," Catano said. "People are so nice and so cool. It's been great."
Sharing their story
A fourth-grade teacher at Alianza Academy when diagnosed, Catono said her students at the school held a jump-a-thon for her. Deseret News and KSL-TV stories about the couple's engagement in the face of her diagnosis led to an almost overwhelming response for the couple.
"We kind of felt a little bit embarrassed almost, because we're like, 'It's just us, we're nothing special,'" Catano said. "But if people can be inspired by that, then that's great. Our lives will have not been in vain."
She is earnest in her hope that others going through struggles or trials have the help and love and support that they need. She knows how much good that can do.
"I think it's easy to stay hopeful when you have that support system and you want to keep trying," she said. "You have all these people that you love and care about and you really want to keep trying for them and you want to put a smile on for them and, not to say the past eight months have been easy because it's been horrible, but that's what we have each other for — to get through the really horrible times.
"I don't know what I would do without our families or friends or even the strangers who put messages up on Facebook. Like Jason said, it's meant the world to us."
The couple continues to look forward. Radiation eliminated cancer that had spread to Catano's hip and her cancer markers were hovering near the normal range despite some nodules on her lungs.
She is currently undergoing chemotherapy in an effort to shrink those nodules, but said the only side effects she notices is fatigue. Still, she is practicing yoga, hiking and continuing to run.
"Now I'm great," she said "I can finally run and hike and do all those things that I used to love to do. Not as well and not as fast, but (I'm) getting stronger, I think, a little bit every day."
She hopes to one day return to teaching and is trying to do some volunteer work. Dorais will finish his residency in a year and start applying for jobs. The couple is currently looking for a dog: "A lazy dog on the inside and one that will have fun when you take it outside — those are our requirements," she said.
Next June, when that Corner Canyon 50K comes around again, Catano hopes she will be able to run it herself.
"I've gone through some pretty low lows to, now, a really high high," she said. "In order to get through those low points, you have to have a positive attitude. ... You just have to keep going.
She then motions to the man who shares her life.
"I don't know what I would do without this guy and everybody else I have in my life. We're hanging in there pretty well."

I believe I have corrupted all of my keyrings while trying to add keyrings for extra repositories. I foolishly moved some keyring files around in a console, and now my system is in a state such that apt-get and Ubuntu Software Center don't work any more. Ubuntu Software Center displays the following error message when trying to update packages:
Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'
Is there something I can do to repair my keyrings? Alternatively, if I absolutely have to just reinstall everything, is there an easy way to do this?

TC TO ARTHUR HELPS ; 12 May 1852; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18520512-TC-AH-01; CL 27: 113-114
Chelsea, 12 May, 1852—
Dear Helps,
The London Library is in Danger!— Your man Ross,1 whom I once saw long ago, and of whom I have heard authentic testimony lately, seems at present decidedly the most promising; but there are already five or six other native candidates, all of them, I fancy, superior in real fitness to the young Neapolitan Advocate just arrived on our shores, whom Gladstone has decided to lead in over the belly of both Rhyme and Reason, and make king over us!— I myself am struck down to the Earth with Influenza, incapable of stirring out for near a week past, and forbidden even to speak, above five words in the half hour, under penalties. I sent a message to Forster last Saturday, solemnly admonishing to delay and deliberation; Forster's answer was that he went with me to the letter; but that Gladstone, Ld Lyttelton &c were "stirring Heaven and Earth" to bring in their man; and that, from the present composition of the Committee, there "was not a possibility" of hindering them. Forster himself is ill, and gone to the country: here in my prison I cannot even learn from anybody what the Commee did last saturday; but only that this next meeting is to be on Saturday week, when "testimonials are to be presented,"—i.e., I suppose, when G. and his majority are to bring their enterprise to the penultimate, if not even to the triumphant ultimate stage.
To myself all this is a thing evidently contrary to, not the London Library alone, and to its clear interests and rights, but to the Common Honesty of every one of us to whom said interests and rights have been tacitly but most validly delegated for management and supervision; and it is my decision, for one, that I must and will resist it, and try to find or make "a possibility": I think, it will be worse for me, if I don't!— At all events, I will go before the thing end, and in some softest but perfectly audible way protest agt such a proceeding, and refusing absolutely, I for one, to have any hand in it more or less, openly dismiss myself from the Com̅ee before they proceed to so untenable an operation. This alone, you perceive, will be but a poor measure; but better than this, on various sides, are open to us;—and in fact, I find, in my solitary contemplations here, that there are decided "possibilities" (pace Forster), and that if there were not, such must be made,—and must be prosecuted with despatch and to the utmost!
The first of all, dear Helps, is that you, quite gently and with habitual reticence, come up to Town, and lodge yourself within reach of me, the earlier the better, but at least a week before next Comee meeting. Unless actually held, as I myself am, you are actually bound to this,—somewhat as your Groom wd be if he saw one of your horses about to be stolen by a cadger, and cd prevent it by a little running! My remaining capabilities of speech shall all be devoted to you; and before the day come, I hope to be myself on my feet again.
These things I have written, dear Helps, to "liberate my soul." I have no Candidate of my own; on the whole, no wish in the matter except that what is honest be done by the Comee, and especially by one poor member of it;—and, sure enough, Gladstone might saddle Kossuth or King Bomba2 on the L. Library, or put the L. Library altogether in his pipe, and smoke it to white ashes, witht entirely ruining one's prospects in this immense universe! These things I know withal and will keep in mind; and yet I have written with complete persuasion what is above, and do very much wish and advise you to come,—at once, if you can.
Yours always truly /

After Goose Creek police finished charging local Navy man Daniel Harrison, 24, with six moving violations associated with a sport bike joy-ride, it's pretty likely Navy officials added a few charges of their own.
Joint Base Charleston has specific rules regarding motorcycles, including a mandatory on-base safety course.
Harrison, in an attempt to elude police during a reckless joy-ride early Tuesday morning, lost control of his bike and crashed on Snake Road.
Speeding was about the only thing Harrison was not charged with after his on-street antics landed him in a heap; reckless driving, (popping wheelies), failure to stop for blue lights, no insurance, illegal transportation of liquor (likely an open container), violations of a beginner's permit, failure to register a motor vehicle, and improper use of a license plate were the initial charges.
Wearing no helmet (which is not illegal in South Carolina), Harrison sustained only minor injuries and was treated and released at a local hospital after the chase and prior to being booked.

The Madeleine church (108 meters long and 43 meters wide) was inspired by the Maison Carrée in Nîmes, one of the best-preserved of all Roman temples in the world. Its Corinthian columns are carried around the entire building. Inside, the church has a single nave with three domes.
Napoléon decided that a Temple of Glory to his Grande Armée should be built, and Pierre-Alexandre Vignon was thus commissioned to draw up the plans. After razing the remaining efforts from 1790, building started on what was to be a Roman/Greek temple. In 1814, Louis XVIII confirmed that the Madeleine should be a church, and that was finally done in 1842.

HMV Buys Time But at What Price?
Struggling U.K. high street retailer HMV has been thrown a lifeline by its banks who have signed off on a £220 million facility to extend loans, but could it be too late?
Investors and staff are likely to be the early winners out of the deal, but one analyst says it will be banks who will ultimately have the company "over a barrel" reaping high interest rates in the long term.
Lloyds and RBS, both familiar with being given lifelines themselves, have at first glance handed the ailing entertainment retailer a reprieve.
Although the deal was widely expected, the terms were not and seem to be structured to encourage a swift and early repayment by incorporating high interest charges and suspending dividends.
A £90 million chunk of the loan comes with strings attached. If not repaid on time, in around a year, the interest rates will continually rise up to a heady 14% on January 1, 2013. The firm will also be unable to pay a dividend until this amount is repaid.
HMV must also give the banks warrants which could ultimately see Lloyds and RBS owning 5% of the company if it doesn't cough up the cash.
This means HMV will have to pay more than £90 million in just over a year.
Taking into account that HMV's like-for-like sales fell 14% during the 17 weeks to April 30 (and also considering that current trading conditions remains the same), a swift and early repayment seems unlikely especially against the grim economic outlook for the U.K.'s high street retailers.
HMV is pinning its hopes on a strategy of store closures, refurbishments and a changed product, focusing on gadgets rather than its traditional CDs and DVDs—a plan one analyst calls a "triumph of hope over experience."
Ultimately, HMV has two years and a long road ahead to get its house in order.

Attended the first public performance and there were many tech problems with the set and the sound (cues and balance). I'm sure the tech problems will work themselves out with time. All that aside, 3-D has assembled a solid cast with special kudos going to Bets Malone (Witch), Viva Carr (Baker's Wife), David Allen Jones (Mysterious Man), Tim Martin Gleason (Cinderella's Prince) and Cameron Sczempka (Rapunzel's Prince). It was also nice to see the original Broadway costumes—sumptuous, colorful, and in my opinion, definitive.

Coca-Cola is hoping to woo dieters with a wacky new advertisement. In it, happy exercisers show how much "fun" they're having burning off the 140 calories in a can of Coke, reported the Atlantic on Friday.
But even as food companies package up 100-calorie bags of cookies and carefully labeled cans of soda, experts are saying that advising dieters to count calories in order to lose weight is an exercise in futility. Dr. David Ludwig, a professor at Harvard Medical School, revealed the results of his own research: "Very few people can lose weight over the long term with low-calorie diets."
So what does he advise for those who want to win at weight loss? Steer clear of refined carbohydrates and follow a Paleo-style low carb diet of unprocessed foods.
"Eating too much refined carbohydrate has, by this theory, raised insulin levels and programmed our fat cells to suck in and store too many calories," said Ludwig. In contrast, Paleo diets emphasize avoidance of processed products and sugar, both of which dominate in the Standard American Diet (SAD). Eat unprocessed food, avoid sugar and you'll be healthier while slimming down, agree Ludwig and other experts.
And even though they might not concur on precisely what foods to avoid, what they all agree corresponds to Michael Pollan's advice. Author of "In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto," he steers clear of complicated calculations and pompous pronouncements. ""Don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food," he sums up.
An increasing number of nutrition gurus are highlighting low carb high fat (LCHF) ketogenic diets and Paleo plans as the way to go for health and weight loss.
"My research associates have published papers demonstrating not only that a Paleo diet provides all the nutrients for health, but that the Paleo diet is, calorie for calorie, the most nutritious way one can eat," Robb Wolf, author of "The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet," told me in an exclusive interview.
He feels that the Paleo diet success "is merely shining a light on the systemic failure of our current systems." The use of food as medicine has not dented the traditional medical world, says Robb. As a result, most healthcare experts have failed " miserably at preventing chronic, degenerative disease. I'm proud of the work I and many other people have done in this area, but I'm also appalled that this is at all a controversial topic."
And Robb concurs that to say counting calories works better than a low-carb Paleo plan of unprocessed, sugar-free, grain-free foods is absurd. "A cupcake is apparently equal to an apple. Can that possibly be correct? I certainly do not think so," he states.
In a recent survey conducted by Everyday Health and MedPage Today, 900 medical professionals cast their votes for the best diets. The survey included doctors, registered dietitians, nurse practitioners and clinicians. Among the best: Low carb diets.
High on the list of approved plans, the South Beach Diet is detailed in books, such as "The South Beach Diet Supercharged: Faster Weight Loss and Better Health for Life." The survey noted that it emphasizes a heart-healthy approach to weight loss while controlling hunger. The company reports that you can lose eight to 13 pounds in the first two weeks and emphasizes unprocessed foods in their natural state.
The third most popular diet in the survey, the DASH diet, also focuses on avoiding processed foods while boosting weight loss. It's also documented in a book: "The Dash Diet Weight Loss Solution: 2 Weeks to Drop Pounds, Boost Metabolism, and Get Healthy."
Celebrity physician Dr. Mehmet Oz recently featured the DASH diet on his talk show. He noted that health experts from US News & World Report repeatedly rank it as number one because of its "nutritional completeness, safety, ability to prevent or control diabetes, and role in supporting heart health."
Before you ask the Magic 8-Ball to tell you which diet to follow, we recommend focusing on plans that avoid counting calories and emphasize unprocessed Paleo-style food groups of protein, healthy fats and vegetables. And take a moment to pity the calorie, as Dr. William Lagakos suggests in his detailed examination of why calorie-counting fails, and what does work, in "The poor, misunderstood calorie: calories proper."

A flood damage reduction program would help to prevent flooding of Chestnut Creek, Galax City Manager Keith Barker told Galax City Council last Monday.
About two years ago, city staff met with representatives of Vaughan-Bassett Furniture, staff from Rep. Rick Boucher's office and the Army Corps of Engineers in regards to maintenance of Chestnut Creek.
INDEPENDENCE — Grayson County supervisors approved a tax increase last summer and residents continue to express their displeasure as they threaten to choose new leaders during the next election.
Twelve residents spoke before the Board of Supervisors last Wednesday night and all had the same general comments — the 44 percent tax increase last summer is unacceptable.
Many of the residents who spoke noted that, with the most recent reassessment and the 44 percent increase, their taxes effectively doubled.
HILLSVILLE — Citing a need for efficiency and economy, Carroll County supervisors decided to categorically change how they fund the school system at their November meeting last Thursday.
Supervisor David Hutchins initiated the discussion about what process to use to fund the school system, and the other four board members present agreed to his motion. (Supervisors' Chairman Wes Hurst was away on business.)
Galax rumbled into the second round of the Region C Division 1 playoffs Friday night with a 55-21 thrashing of Rural Retreat.
The Maroon Tide (8-3) scored early and often, putting a touchdown on the board on its first five possessions.
After holding the Indians (4-7) to a three-and-out on the opening possession, Galax took over on the Indian 33-yard line. Junior Jacob Fisher handled the running duties on the opening possession, carrying the ball three straight times for a quick touchdown, giving the Tide a 6-0 lead with 9:35 left in the first quarter.
ELLISTON –– Getting anywhere worth being is a process of many steps. Though coming up short to Bath County in a bid for its first region volleyball championship, Galax took another step Thursday.
The Maroon Tide battled back from a 2-1 deficit but couldn't complete the comeback a second night in a row and fell to the Chargers 22-25, 25-14, 25-15, 23-25, 15-9 in the Region C Division 1 championship at Eastern Montgomery High School.
WYTHEVILLE -- Grayson County battled George Wythe to the end last Friday night before losing the opening game of the Region C Division 2 playoffs, 21-14 at Pendleton Field.
It was the first time the Blue Devils had advanced to the playoffs since 2007 and ironically it was against George Wythe.
The Blue Devils fought from behind twice to tie the game at 7 and 14.
The Maroons (7-3) got on the scoreboard on their opening drive.
HILLSVILLE –– If a football season is a journey, then Carroll County has covered quite a distance since August.
The Cavaliers, who dropped a 17-14 decision to Bassett on opening night, showed just how far they've come in the 11 weeks since, rolling to a 39-21 win over the Bengals in the first round of the Region IV Division 4 playoffs Friday at Tommy Thompson Field.
DUFFIELD –– Galax was within a couple of points of forcing a fifth set in the Group A Division 1 state quarterfinals when a Rye Cove rally ended the Maroon Tide's season with a 25-23, 25-22, 21-25, 25-23 defeat. Complete coverage will appear online and in Friday's print edition.
Galax will play at Bath County and Carroll County will travel to Christiansburg in region semifinal football games Friday.
HILLSVILLE –– Carroll County gets a do-over.
Having just suffered a last-second, 17-14 loss to Bassett to open the 2010 season back in August, a common sentiment along the Cavaliers' sideline was, boy, I'd like to have another chance at that one.
Carroll County will get that opportunity tonight (Friday) when the Cavaliers and Bengals open Region IV Division 4 playoff action at Tommy Thompson Field.
INDEPENDENCE –– If the Region C Division 2 football playoffs are as interesting as the regular season, the next three weeks should be a lot of fun.
Just how tight was the RCD2 field this year? Consider the following:
*Grayson County was stuck in ninth place with two weeks left in the season, needed to defeat an 8-1 team and get outside help just to crack the top six, and wound up as the No. 5 seed.
*One extra win by any of the six teams the Blue Devils defeated and Grayson would be hosting a first-round game.

Short Stories
This is a collection of three short stories, a diet plan and a short autobiography of the author. 'If you loved me' is about Izzy Brown, a rising star in the pop music world. 'Swamp' is about Jean Pierre a forty-two year old divorcee who is nearly broke. 'Kind Hearted Woman Blues' is about Maria a blues singer who is in love with Billy, a down and out drifter. 'Losing Twenty Pounds' is a comical look at dieting and 'Ain't Goin' Nowhere' is the story of the authors life.
Hmmm. This collection of prose is as eclectic as one of 'Heidi and the El Cats' jam sessions. The brief autobiography and crash diet booklet aside, the short stories are more unfinished that short per se. They seem like screenplay sketches, to be completed if they pique a director's interest. Enjoyable reading but frustratingly incomplete.

Fans of E.L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey finally have their first look at the upcoming movie adaptation.
The first official trailer for Fifty Shades of Grey debuted today, and is steaming up the Internet. The movie is based on E.L. James' best-selling erotic novel, which follows the dark and sexy relationship between business tycoon Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) and shy reporter Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson).
The trailer starts out with Christian and Ana's first meeting, when she comes to interview him.
"He was polite. Intense. Smart. Really intimidating," we hear Ana describing Christian to a friend after their first meeting.
From there, the intensity ramps up until Christian forcefully kisses Ana in an elevator and we see their romance blossom, with helicopter rides and dancing.
At first Christian tries to warn Ana off, with lines like "I'm incapable of leaving you alone," and "You should leave me alone." (If those lines sound a bit familiar, they should. Fifty Shades of Grey originally got its start online as steamy Twilight fan fiction, with the main characters based off of Edward and Bella.)
Eventually things get steamier, until Christian admits: "I don't do romance. My tastes are very singular. You wouldn't understand."
"Enlighten me, then," Ana replies. It is then we finally peek Christian's so-called "red room of pain," where he keeps all his BDSM sex toys. We glimpse short, tight shots of some of these items - until we see Ana, hands tied and blindfolded, gasping in ecstasy.
The entire trailer is set to a sultry, slowed-down version of Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" (an exclusive for the movie).
Fifty Shades of Grey hits theaters on Valentine's Day next year.

Apparition warmly welcomes Dave West back as our bass player. Dave was formerly with us in 1996 and since then has gone on to become well respected in the local band scene. We are very privileged to have him back in the Apparition family.
Overnight we welcomed our 666th fan hehe ;) "Revolution X" from North Carolina! ( http://www.reverbnation.com/revolutionxband )
We've just reached 2000 views on our Reverbnation site. We are working on recording some songs for our album which will include some of the songs released here at Reverbnation, and a bunch of other songs that have not yet been released.
We've just gained our 600th fan on Reverbnation! The very cool M.A.I.M. from Belluno Italy was our 600th fan. Check them out, they play a mix of Italian Folk and Metal -_- http://www.reverbnation.com/maimbelluno
We have finally started work on our album. A long road ahead but it will be worth the wait. We're also at 598 Reverbnation fans. Spread the word and help us get to 600!
Happy New Year to all our fans. Thanks for following us. This year we will be putting together an album (which has been a long time coming!). We will start work on it very soon so stay tuned for more news.
We have re-recorded our song Shadows and released it to you all today. We felt that the version we recorded earlier in the year didn't reflect the way the song was meant to sound when we wrote it all those years ago. Please enjoy Shadows - MkII ;-) \m/ -_-
We are very proud to release our new recording "Change of Scene" today. We wrote this song back in the mid 1990s, but this is the first time we have ever recorded it. Hope you all like it as much as we do :) \m/
Our local ranking on Reverbnation has just dropped from #1 to #2 - but that's fine by us coz we were honoured to be at number 1 for over 24 weeks! Thanks for supporting us this past six months as we slowly re-emerge after our 17yr break. We have plenty of music yet to share with you all. :-)
We've started working on our next song tonight. A very chunky, yet somehow smooth song, is in store for you when this one's done ;)
