Sting said something lovely in an interview this week. I loved how he said he was moving into the next season of his life. I think that's beautifully said, and very similar to something another legendary wrestler said to me a few months back. When I met Kevin Nash at an event he had a good laugh at the action figure I brought for him to sign. He talked about all the hair he had back then. We discussed all the hair dye he's used for various characters. He said that he'd been graying since he was in his 20's. I told Nash that I thought he looked very nice with his hair short and gray. Nash looked at me and said, "This is how I am supposed to look at this point in my life." I thought that was a lovely way of putting it, and I got the same warm and fuzzy feeling that I get from Sting's comment. It's nice when aging wrestlers can recognize their limitations and don't try to act as though they're still 25.
RVD thinks the WWE made him more relevant in the 0.48 second vignette than TNA did in three years. I actually brought this up to Alex before RVD said this, and while he did agree that TNA did work less and less with RVD through the three years, he didn't admit that TNA dropped the ball with RVD. Personally, I thought TNA treated RVD like absolute crap the better part of two and a half of the three years he was with the company. While RVD might be a smaller fish in a bigger pond, he knows what he's going to get from the WWE going in, and I have to think that it's somewhat comforting for him.
I also have to comment on Hogan's Twitter comment about RVD being back in the WWE. He said he knew nothing of RVD's status, and that's all up to Dixie. It seems to me that Hogan's role in the company changes according to what suits him for that moment. Either way, you'd think he would know whether someone like RVD was with the company, returning to the company, or possibly picked up by WWE. I'm not sure who is more to blame here, Dixie or Hogan. Personally, I'd think RVD being signed to the WWE is big enough that Hogan would be informed about it, but that's just me, and maybe I'm underestimating the way TNA is being run as a company. Either way, it seemed like one more way that Hogan stuck his foot in it very publicly, and again threw Dixie under the bus. Most people might not see it that way, might not see it as a biggie at all, but if TNA wants to be competitive, they need to tighten up the company as a whole, and put a muzzle on Hogan as he keeps stepping in it on Twitter.
Show Starts
Backstage Segment > A
In the Open Thread Party Jesse said Sting looked fabby in that suit. He was poking fun at me, but was also absolutely right. We rarely see Sting dressed in a suit, but when he does, he's an incredibly dapper man. Sting is sexy in almost anything he wears, but that suit left me in a puddle of drool.
Video > B+
I complain about the opening videos, but this BFG Series video was just lovely! What a great way to open Impact!
In Ring Segment > B+
Please don't think Alex is writing this, but this was the perfect role for Hogan starting the show. He was actually being the GM, and I didn't feel like he was out there to stroke his own ego. He really ran things like a GM, handled the things that needed to be handled and did it well.
Hardy 68%
Roode 32%
Are we really shocked that Hardy won in the voting? Are we really shocked that Hardy called out Roode? Honestly, I'm so excited about the BFG Series that I don't care where the matches start!
BFG Series Match – Anderson vs Joseph > B
Anderson said he's a tweener this week. That little comment further makes me think that he's a mole. Anderson really part of Main Event Mafia? Guaranteed 'W'? Better was the way Anderson called Joseph to the ring, using his mic skills we haven't heard from him recently.
I enjoyed watching Anderson and Joseph in the ring together. Parks is great at playing his Joseph character, and selling that he's greener than goose poop. You just want to cheer for him because he's so endearing. That Anderson 'couldn't' beat Joseph without help could make things quite interesting for him going forward. Yes, he got the win, but how many more will he get, and will he be able to do it without help?
Winner – Anderson +7 (5:05)
Backstage Segment > B+
Dissension in the ranks. The cracks are forming! This is a great group, and I'm interested in seeing who ends up peeling off from the group first.
BFG Series Match – Aries vs Bradley > C-
I wasn't at all impressed with Bradley on mic, but he looked stronger in the ring than he has when we've seen him before. Still not really thrilled with him yet as. His biggest moves seem to be pushing Aries away, and putting his foot in the air. Jesse said that Bradley reminds him of A-Ry, and I have to agree. Both just need more time before they're really ready to be in the ring on TV. Aries looks tiny compared to him, but he hits things like that crucifix and that brain buster and makes them look great. Well, the brain buster would have looked great if Bradley had helped Aries with it. Aries struggled to keep Bradley up because he didn't help him enough. A guy the size of Aries needs help with balance when the guy he's lifting outweighs him by 51lbs! Honestly, if I was only grading Aries, he'd get a B+, but I had to grade the entire match, and that includes Bradley's bumbling around the ring and looking a total mess. He's going to be the bur under the saddle of the BFG Series.
Winner – Aries +7 (3:38)
Video > B
I like that they threw in the Main Event Mafia video here. They didn't start the show with it, so this was a great time to put it in. as long as they don't beat us over the head with it, I'm golden.
Backstage Segment > A-
Short, sweet, to the point, and so sexy doing it. I like the crazy and wild Sting, but I also like this leader of MEM as well.
Backstage Segment > B+
Who's hand did Sting shake? Angle? It sure looked like Angle's hand to me.
BFG Series Match – Hernandez vs Daniels > B-
I decided that Chavo's pep talk was so short that I'd add it into this match. I will say Chavo was better on mic than Hernandez! I thought Hernandez was usually better than that on mic.
Hernandez looked strong, but not much else. He's turned into a 5 moves of doom wrestler, and it's getting quite boring. Other than his running shoulder block, Hernandez wasn't much fun here. Daniels, on the other hand seemed to be all over that ring, and working it hard. Yes, Hernandez's mouth was busted open but Daniels was the one who impressed. I loved seeing the BME, it seems like it's been so long since we've seen it! Why is Hernandez in the BFG Series and not Chavo? To me this is bad booking.
Winner – Daniels +7 (3:38)
BFG Series Match – Kaz vs Magnus > B+
Kaz doesn't have the mic skills of Daniels, but he sure came off decent here. He's not the best, but he's worlds ahead of Hernandez! I have to admit that Kaz looked pretty solid here until the end. Another short match, but it looked really solid. Both of these men worked the ring well together, and while Kaz isn't as strong in the ring as Magnus is, but working with Magnus he looked stronger than he normally does. If I wasn't already a huge Magnus fan, this match would have drawn me in. It's the little things like that lovely cloverleaf he put on Kaz to win the match and get the extra three points. I don't care if Dixie got all gooey over Magnus – so not professional – the man is the future of the industry (not just TNA).
Winner – Magnus +10 (2:52)
Backstage Segment > B+
Since when does Hogan have any say about his daughter's marriage? She's over 18! Even if she wasn't over 18, she's married, so he'd have no say anyway. I love how Bully is playing this one. They teased their relationship slowly, they built it well, then crashed it fast. Now they're slowly building again. Whoever is doing the writing and the pacing of this storyline is doing it right.
In Ring Segment > C+
ODB is in a dress! Dang, she looks hot! EY kind of stole that segment out from under Brooke, and she had trouble recovering and I couldn't help but laugh at her for it. Now, I'm going to have a me moment and comment on how well dressed both Brooke and Kim were. That dress on Kim was sick! But then there's the Knockouts Champ who couldn't get her shirt to fit the way she wanted, so she had it tucked into her bra! I know she's playing the southern country girl, but that doesn't mean she needs to look cheap. A minute with a sewing machine and her top would have looked so much better. I know the WWE has at least one seamstress on the road with them, doesn't TNA? It seems like such an obvious need to me. I know it's a little thing, but it's those little things that mean the difference between looking bush league and looking professional.
Beyond all that, Brooke was a bit rough here, but she held it together. Mickie was just tacky. I think she's overplaying the heel part of things and it's coming off as cartoonish, and not in a good way. I know a lot of people are liking her heel turn, but I think it's terrible. She needs Regal to teach her how to be a good heel.
Backstage Segment > C+
That was too quick for Brooke to go from the ring to the limo. I know they're starting to tape an hour early and have time to edit, but it looked edited for time, and it's little things like that that bother me about TNA.
BFG Series Match – AJ vs Joe > B+
I loved the lighting for AJ on mic, and how he spoke. I'm impressed with how he's carrying this newest character change. Joe and AJ are so great in the ring, but this match has a totally different flavor because of AJ being a heel. The slow build at the start of the match really helped bring the show back from the fever pitch it had been at, and brought it to a pace that wouldn't wear out the fans and leave us in need of a nap.
Joe hit the fastest power slam I've ever seen. I'd love to see what a speed gun on Joe and Orton would say. I'm always impressed by Orton's power slams, but something about the way Joe hits it that always leaves me in awe. Why was this not the main event? I understand TNA wanting the past two BFG Series winners in the main event, then why not have Joe and AJ face off on next week's Impact, or the week after? This is a main event quality match from two of the best in TNA, in the industry, and it's a slap in the face to them that they weren't.
Even though I know that TNA is now taping their shows earlier in the evening, so they have time to edit the shows a bit before they air, I'm a little put out by this match. I time each of the matches on RAW and Impact each week. TNA made such a big deal about this match going to a 15 minute time limit, but my stopwatch said it was exactly 14 minutes. So either their timing was off, or they cut a full minute out of this match. It was bad enough that we lost three minutes of this match to commercials, they had to take another minute because of editing? To me that's really not cool. Further, TNA has to know that there's going to be some obsessive people, like me, out in the world who will time the matches and notice this extra minute gone from the match. I cannot be the only person who noticed that this match only ran for 14 minutes on TV. To me that was the perfectly wrong time to edit out of the show, as it will be noticed, second, I find it strange that they edited out exactly one minute of the match. I know my timing isn't perfect, but it was exactly 14 minutes by my stopwatch.
Draw – AJ +2 & Joe +2 (14:00)
Backstage Segment > B
Brooke is really coming back? This could get interesting. It makes sense that they do this on the first night of the taping. I'm excited to see what will happen.
Backstage Segment > C+
X Division Championship Match next week. When will they find the time with all these BFG Series Matches?
BFG Series Match – Hardy vs Roode > B
These two in the ring together are almost guaranteed to be fantastic, but coming off the match between AJ and Joe, I'm not sure the fans will care as much. I think these matches needed to be on different shows. Further, Hardy took care of Roode easier than I thought he should of. This is Roode and he was made to look a little weaker than I'd have liked. Actually, after seeing AJ face Joe in the ring, this was somewhat of a letdown. It wasn't a bad match, in fact the ring work was quite solid, but after that long match from AJ and Joe, this just wasn't as good. I really feel that TNA screwed up by putting both of these matches on the same show.
Winner – Hardy +7 (6:15)
Backstage Segment > B+
Sting can wrap so much into one sentence and a glance. The man really is fantastic!
In Ring Segment > A-
Dang, I have missed that Main Event Mafia music! This was a lovely first step for MEM. The way Sting so lazily started to remove his tie, and how he ignored Bully, was topnotch. Bully sold his ire well, but it was obvious that he really didn't get it until his boys didn't run to his aid. Now, the thing I find interesting is that when Sting pointed to the tron, and we all saw why the rest of A&8's were not rushing to Bully's aid, but only three members of A&8's were visible. We saw Wes with the keg between his legs. Garett could be recognized by his sideburns. The third person that was down had to be Anderson, even though we didn't see his face, because he's the only one who really fits that build.
There was a lively discussion during the Open Thread Party about who would be joining Main Event Mafia, and why. The dissension in A&8's makes many of us think that one of the group will somehow leave and end up with MEM, but who? A lot of people, especially myself, have thought that Anderson was a mole since day one, and he would sure fit in with MEM. It does look as though DOC is having issues with the group, but he sure isn't a main eventer. Further, it was also discussed who else might be joining MEM. Most of us agreed that it was Angle would be the first to join, and have agreed since Sting announced that he was re-forming the group last week, but who else.
Sting said he didn't trust anyone on the TNA roster, so he'd be going outside TNA to bring together the family. Obviously Angle is on the roster, but he does make perfect sense, and worthy of overlooking that change in history. But who else could be brought in? Kevin Nash is under a legends contract with the WWE, and good friends with Trip. Booker T is under contract with the WWE, and just recently had surgery. Scotty Steiner has pretty much been black balled by TNA for the comments he made on Twitter, and the lawsuit that followed. Joe joined MEM later, and he is always a possibility, but he's involved with the BFG Series right now. Names such as Batista and Goldberg have been bounced around, but there's problems with both of them, the biggest being money. So who would be the best person to be brought back to save TNA? Why not the man who created TNA in the first place? During the conversation, WNW reader Michael Andrew Smith brought up Jeff Jarrett's name. I had thought about it myself, but only in passing. The more we discussed JJ, and the more I thought about it, JJ makes more sense than almost anyone else.
Post Show
There were some serious issues with Impact, and also some great moments. While TNA tried to give us a lot of wrestling, or at least a lot of short matches, for the BFG Series, they ended up throwing so much at the fans at such a fevered pitch that it felt as though they were doing all they could before they would never be able to show us these wrestlers again. The first hour felt so rushed that it was hard to enjoy. The second hour slowed things down, but with some questionable outcomes. What should have been main events for two shows, they were both thrown into one, making them both less than they would otherwise be. The combined wrestling time was 35:28, and that's only counting 14 minutes for AJ versus Joe. Honestly, that is a lot of wrestling for a two hour show, especially when you realize that RAW averages 47-53 minutes of wrestling most weeks, but that's split over six matches, and one of those matches was 14 minutes long. Those numbers are not good for those in the matches.
On the other hand, TNA pushed the Knockouts, setting up for future matches. They pushed A&8's – both in the ring, and the relationship between Bully and Brooke. They pushed BFG Series in a huge way. And they pushed Sting both building Main Event Mafia, and well as them taking the first steps toward destroying A&8's. So while there was a lot going on in this episode of Impact, actually too much, TNA still left us excited and wanting more.

Back in January 2007, we brought you the story of Greg Kolodziejzyk, a Canadian adventurer who was planning to break the human-powered transatlantic record. What made Greg's record attempt so interesting was that he was going to do it in a fully-enclosed pedal-powered sea kayak. The boat was still under construction at the time. Flash forward to January 2010, and Greg has had to call off the transatlantic attempt due to logistic problems. His new boat, however, is a marvel of marine engineering, and he's planning on pedaling it from Canada to Hawaii.Read More
Despite the reputation that First-World populations have for consumerism, a new study has shown that citizens of emerging countries are twice as likely to purchase and use consumer technology within the next year.

The study was conducted by Accenture, a global management consulting firm, and its findings will have profound implications for the consumer tech marketplace.Read More
Looking more like a long, blurred, red flash than a motorcycle, the BUB 7 Streamliner is now the fastest motorcycle on earth (pending FIM verification) after Chris Carr set a new FIM world record and AMA national record at 367.382mph (591.244kmh) through the mile - and an exit speed of 372.534mph (599.534kmh) - at the Cook Private Meet at the Bonneville Salt Flats Utah. It probably also makes Carr one of the bravest men on the planet. BUB 7 beat the previous record of 360.913mph (580.833kmh), set by Team Ack Attack last year. We originally covered the BUB 7 when it broke through the 350mph (563km) barrier back in 2006.Read More

A horrific bloody scene was discovered Friday morning in Germantown, MD. Norrell Harris, a 1-year-old male, and Zyana Harris, a 2-year-old female were lying dead in their home due to multiple stab wounds.
According to police, who arrived on the 1900 block of Cherry Bend Drive around 9:30am Friday, the 28-year-old mother, Zakieya Latrice Avery, killed two of her children and severely injured two others during a botched exorcism attempt.
An exorcism is the act of driving out demons, or evil spirits, from persons, places, or anything that is believed to be possessed or infested by them.
A second woman, Monifa Denise Sanford, 21, was also arrested. Both women were charged with two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder.
Sanford was injured during the incident and was treated at a local hospital. A 5-year-old and 8-year-old found on the scene were also injured and are receiving medical treatment, according to Montgomery police.
Police have not yet released any details about what happened inside the home, saying it was still under investigation.
Montgomery County Police Chief Tom Manger said in a statement, "Cases like this are heartbreaking," "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victims along with the 911 operators, police officers, evidence technicians, and the fire and EMS personnel that responded."
Originally the police had been called to the residence the night before when a neighbor spotted an unattended child in a car. The mother and her roommate exited the house and got the child right before police arrived.
The women refused to talk to police officers when they approached the door. According to Montgomery County Police the county's Child Protective Services were told of the incident and asked to follow up.
Capt. Jim Daly said Friday that neighbors described a commotion coming from the home on two occasions during the night but no one called police.
Neighbor, Elisa Aloras, was walking her dog around 7:15 a.m. Friday when she noticed a small kitchen knife on the ground close to a car. Later, while driving by, she saw the same car with its rear passenger door open and she saw a blue coat on the ground.
Police describe the inside of the home as a "very bloody scene". Ms. Aloras, as most people involved in the case say, "It is just so sad."

wow ummmmm nice
Crash Bandicoot Returns was originally to be a simple mod for Crysis. But thanks to Crytek and its graphics engine, the CryEngine 3, it finally gives us the opportunity to develop a game in itself, totally free and for PC. CBR will be a sequel and not a remake of the series.
wow ummmmm nice
Well well well a new and original character o.0 this should be interesting.
Someone has Fox fetish...
Dat fox.
TELL ME...You are not going to furry this up!
The main character was always an anthropomorphic bandicoot, so I think 'furry it up' might be a poor choice of words...
Ah, that's prejudice. You can't just call something a furry because it's an anthropomorphic animal. That's like calling someone a *** because they're gay. Or the N word because they're black. There's more to it than that.
So, what's this guy on about, again?
Looks remarkably similar to the original feel of the characters, except less cartoony.
take a hint it will be in 3D so what's the point...?
"You can't just call something a furry because it's an anthropomorphic animal."
That's exactly what this picture seems to be of. I don't see anything wrong with it. In fact I thought it was just a redesign of Coco for a second.
i hope this character is roughly the same size as crash because the first game was weird when the was a bandicoot 4 foot higher than crash
not for be a ball-broker but for me is no about a new char.
I love the idea of new characters, but come on. Really, a deviantart furry?
give him a f**in chance moron, they have to use it becuz it's specifically designed for the game by a fan, brittany-tiger, UGHH! But i do agree w/ you on new characters!

Thank you
the document i was referring to is available online is available at
"DP397/21/17: a 1655 document
re Myles's ancestry and his Duxbury inheritance
This particular document was written on Saturday 24 March 1654 (1655
in the modern calendar) and on the outside of the folded document, in
an early hand but not the same as the document itself, appears
'Chirograph of fine by Rich: Standish Esq: and Eliz: his wife of all
his Estates'. It was the judgement in a court case at the March
Assizes in Lancaster and contained the following illuminating details,
which I transcribed in 1999 as follows (sic apart from numbers not
written out in full and the addition of a few commas):
Betweene Edward May and Alexander Standish gent plaintifes and Richard
Standish esq and Elizabeth his wife deforciants of the manors of
Duxbury, Heapey, Whittle-le-Woods, Heath Charnock and Anglezarke with
the apppurtenances and 120 messuages, 4 mills, 120 gardens, 50
orchards, 1000 acres of land, 200 acres of meadow, 400 acres of
pasture, 50 acres of woods, 600 acres of moss, 200 acres of marsh, 400
acres of furze and heath . . . Whereupon a covenant . . . between
them . . . that is to say that the said Richard and Elizabeth have
acknowledged the said manors and tenements . . . to be the right of
the said Edward and Alexander. . . six hundred pounds. (L.R.O.
DP397/21/17) (The full text follows later.)
Here, it seemed, was the proof in a single document that Myles (via
his son Alexander) not only inherited Duxbury Hall by right of
descent, but that this was upheld in court (although granted to his
son and heir Alexander via a lawyer); and although Richard continued
to own it and the dependent lands, he had to pay a hefty 'fine' in
compensation. (Six hundred pounds initially seemed paltry in
comparison to the actual value, and the full text reveals a strange
anomaly. Both will be dealt with later.) In turn this indicated that
Myles and Alexander were able to prove their descent to the
satisfaction of all, and the only possible descent that would allow a
claim on Duxbury Hall was as the last remaining great-grandson of Sir
Christopher (this was shown on a family tree in my articles). It was
logical that son Alexander should make the claim, as it must have
taken some time to collect the papers in New and Old England, and
organise a lawyer from the other side of the Atlantic to appear in
Lancaster. By this time (early 1655) Myles was already 78 and so would
not have expected to live long enough to benefit (he died the
following year); his son and heir, however, presumably would (and did
- Alexander lived until 1702)."
"This is the finall agreement made in the Court at Lancaster on
Saturday the four and twentieth day of March in the year of our Lord
one thousand hundred fifty four Before Richard Newdygate one of the
Justices of the Upper Bench And Robert Hatton sergeant at Law Justices
at Lancaster And others then come there and sent Betweene Edward May

apppurtenances and one hundred and twenty messuages four water corne
mills one hundred and twenty gardens fifty orchards one thousand acres

Whereupon a plea of covenant was sinnoned [signed?] betweene them in

Alexander and the heires of the said Edward against them the said
Richard and Elizabeth and their heires for ever And for this
acknowledgment remission quite clayme warranty fyne and agreement the
said Edward and Alexander have given to the said Richard and Elizabeth
six hundred pounds sterling (L.R.O) DP397/21/17)"
Ms Moorwood's comments from the same web page:
"Edward and Alexander gave six hundred pounds to Richard and
Elizabeth? How could this be? If Alexander was entitled to the estates
by right of inheritance, why should he pay for them? This would be
adding insult to injury. In any case the rest of the text makes it
very clear that the case went against Richard and Elizabeth and it
could only have been because of their paying up that Gilbert would
have followed suit. One potential clue is the very date on which this
settlement was copied, i.e. 24 March, the very last day of the year
1654-55 (the new year started on 25 March, Lady Day, until the
calendar reform of 1753). This date appears so often in documents that
one suspects it was the day when copies of many documents concerning
court cases during the preceding Assizes were drawn up from notes made
during the hearings. In this case, it would indeed have been a copy
'after the event', with all the potential for inaccuracies that
copying involves. Another clue is that there are no signatures on the
document, which seems to confirm that it was a copy made by the clerk
of the court some time after the case itself. It will presumably
always remain a mystery why, if the award was presented the wrong way
round and all concerned knew this, Colonel Richard made no effort to
have it corrected. Or perhaps he did? This document needs to be
compared with the one discovered by Farrer in the Feet of Fines.
Although I have the greatest of faith in the integrity, intentions and
skills of clerks of the time (unlike others, who have called them
'nincompoops' and similar when confronted with apparent inaccuracies
in copying) mistakes did happen. It seems that the only logical
interim explanation here is that this particular clerk misread his own
(or someone else's? shorthand?) notes and produced the 17th century
equivalent of a typo by awarding the fine the wrong way round. The
fact that it is a "Final Concord" and that a previous "covenant" was
involved implies that the case lasted a considerable time.
Among other additional and interesting pieces of information emerging
from the complete text is that obviously several people were called as
witnesses or to provide further information in writing: "others then
come there and sent". We can only guess (although this is the only
plausible conjecture) that these were local friends of the family
whose memories stretched back to include a knowledge of Myles's
ancestry and his departure on the Mayflower. Edward May seems to have
fulfilled his commission from 'Alexander Standish gent' admirably by
conducting his legal and genealogical investigations thoroughly, not
only by locating relevant witnesses, whose testimony was obviously
convincing enough to the two judges concerned, which resulted in his
winning the case, but also by accepting future responsibility via
himself and his heirs to guarantee the final satisfactory conclusion
of the agreement. Perhaps this is a clue that Edward May and his heirs
were still living in Old England?
It is also interesting that Richard was accompanied six times in this
document by his wife Elizabeth, at a time when wives' interests and
property were totally subordinate to their husbands'. This document is
unique (in my experience of 16th and 17th century settlements) in
placing the wife on an equal footing with the husband. Elizabeth must
have played some rather important role in this story, which we will
probably never be able to unravel, but at least we know exactly who
she was: a younger daughter of Peter Legh of Adlington in Cheshire,
son of Sir Piers Legh of Lyme. (Ormerod gives complete pedigrees of
branches of this family in The History of Cheshire, including where
Colonel Richard fits in, and Elizabeth's sisters and husbands also
appear in Colonel Richard's will of 1657. Her ancestry is also
displayed in her coat of arms, quartered into husband Richard's in a
stained glass window in St Laurence's, Chorley. A full description
appears in his biography.)"
For a critical review of the evidence of Myles Standish's ancestry see
Mayflower Quarterly 72: 133-159.
Dr Jeremy Bangs refutes Ms Moorwood's interpretation in great detail

For more than 30 years, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Slash has left an indelible mark on rock and roll, cutting a singular figure as recognizable as his oft-imitated – never replicated – guitar playing.
Slash's embrace of rocker staples like black leather and tattoos evolved alongside his now iconic top hats, creating an image that's become synonymous with rock and roll.
This year, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members voted to have displayed in the Museum a leather jacket worn by Slash during Guns N' Roses tours in the 1980s and 1990s.
The back of the jacket features images of a skull wearing a top hat, crossbones topped with guitar headstocks, a gun and a rose.
The images mirror a tattoo on Slash's upper left arm, along with the acronym "D.T.U.D." – which reportedly stands for "Drink Till U Drop" – a nod to Slash's notoriously wilder days as GNR's rabble rousing lead guitarist. Guns N' Roses were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.

The sheer emotional impact of Jimi Hendrix's Woodstock rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" sparked my fascination. His squealing guitar effects depicting the incoming descent of bombs that were soon "bursting in air," grabbed me, especially as intensified on film when Hendrix "lip synched" the resulting cries and screams. His performance makes the abstract so very human. For me Hendrix's Woodstock anthem of August 18, 1969, remains atop the list of the most powerful performances of Francis Scott Key's song ever created.
The Woodstock anthem gets even more interesting when compared with the other 40 or so surviving recordings of Hendrix performing the song. They reveal Hendrix's artistic as well as political evolution and define the critical and patriotic extremes of his expression to place Woodstock firmly in the middle as a combination of both. Here's a look at five incredible Hendrix versions of "The Star Spangled Banner.' Want more Hendrix? Catch Mark Clague going deep on all-things Hendrix at the Rock Hall's Library and Archives on Wednesday, March 25, 2015!
Hendrix first references the anthem melody a year ...
In the pantheon of rock and roll's greatest guitarists, there is a cadre of fabled axemen who consistently bubble to the top, including such Hall of Fame Inductees as Jeff Beck, Chuck Berry, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Robert Johnson, BB King and Jimmy Page – all artists represented at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio. And no discussion of six-string masters would be complete without Eddie Van Halen, the innovative firebrand that turned the world of guitar playing on its ear in the late 70s and early 1980s. "I was so used to doing old blues licks with the first three fingers," Van Halen once explained to a reporter. "When I started using my pinky and finding more spread things, that's when I started getting my own style." That style went on to influence millions of budding shredders. Here are five tracks that contributed to that influence:
Guitar Solo, from Live Without a Net (1986)
Van Halen went out with something to prove during the live tour for the 5150 album. With new singer Sammy Hagar, the band had to show fans and critics alike that it could keep rocking without Diamond Dave ...
On October 26, 2013, a once-in-a-lifetime collection of musicians gathered in Cleveland, Ohio, for the Rock Hall's Music Masters tribute to the Rolling Stones. That evening's concert at the Playhouse Square State Theater was anchored by a group of top flight musicians who have performed with the Rolling Stones over their 50-year career and contributed to shaping the band's extraordinary sound.
Grammy Award-winning drummer Steve Jordan led the house band as musical director, assembling a group of critically-acclaimed musicians, including 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Ian McLagan.
McLagan had played on the Rolling Stones' Some Girls album and toured with the group in 1978, 1981 and 1982.
Among the incredible performers sharing the stage with McLagan that night was the incomparable Bobby Keys, the legendary sax player for Elvis Presley, Joe Cocker, B.B. King and others, including the Rolling Stones. Keys had been recording and touring with the Rolling Stones since 1970, appearing on Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main Street, Goats Head Soup, Emotional Rescue and several live albums.
WATCH: In the clip below, Bobby Keys delivers a fiery solo during a jam on the Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers cut ...
On January 9, 1944, Jimmy Page was born in England. A talented multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer, Page is best known for his incomparable guitar virtuosity, and is one of the most influential guitarists of all time. He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice: in 1992 as a member of the Yardbirds and in 1995 as a founding member of Led Zeppelin.
Page picked up his first guitar at a young age, seeking to emulate rockabilly guitarists of the Fifties, such as Scotty Moore and James Burton. His appreciation and tastes quickly expanded to include folk, blues and skiffle, and he would play in a band that favored the latter.
By the Sixties, Page was an in-demand session musician, playing on songs for Donovan ("Hurdy Gurdy Man"), Them ("Gloria") and the Who ("I Can't Explain"), among others. Page joined the Yardbirds in the mid Sixties, for a period sharing the stage with friend and fellow guitarist Jeff Beck, who had replaced Eric Clapton on lead guitar. "You'd listen to Jeff along the way, and you'd go - wow, he's getting really, really good," said Page during Jeff Beck's 2009 Hall of ...
More than any other musician, Jimi Hendrix realized the fullest range of sound that could be obtained from an amplified instrument. His boundless drive, technical ability and creative application of such effects as wah-wah and distortion forever transformed the sound of rock and roll. Hendrix helped usher in the age of psychedelia with his 1967 debut, Are You Experienced, and the impact of his brief but meteoric career on popular music continues to be felt. With such an incredible catalog of work, it's impossible to overstate the impact of the 1992 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. The Rock Hall selected 10 songs that we feel are essential listening. What songs would be on your list?
"The Wind Cries Mary" (Are You Experienced, 1967)
"Hey Joe" (Are you Experienced, 1967)
"Red House" (Are You Experienced, 1967)
"Little Wing" (Axis: Bold As Love, 1967)
"Castles Made of Sand" (Axis: Bold As Love, 1967)

Cast: Copper Penny, Cintrice, Kenny Dino, Ron Feilen, Jamie Gillis
Critical Rating: A 1/2
Genre: Feature
Behind the scenes to see how porno queens get chosen? We've seen that before. For this overused theme to work, the sex had better be good. Unfortunately, The Starmaker fails miserably —not because the people are unappealing, but because they mostly look like they'd rather be playing backgammon.
The scene between Jamie Gillis and Copper Penny, which could have been a hot number, wasted a lot of sexual talent; simply because Gillis seemed bored and the gorgeous Penny did little to arouse him. The screenwriter chose, during this scene, to call Gillis "the greatest porn star ever." Usually a terrific actor, Gillis' performance in The Starmaker is forgettable at best.
The lighting and downbeat musical soundtrack did not enhance the sex, either. During one scene, we are forced to hear Kenny Dino sing the same song twice while four background singers screw in near total darkness. We're offered nearly six "memorable" minutes of amateur country porn... in the dark.
Ken, played by Ron Feilen, is distraught over his split with porn superstar Seka and, encouraged by pals Kenny Dino, David Ruby, and Joe Harlow, searches for a new female sensation. After "auditioning" many women, he finally selects his vivacious secretary whom he renames Cintrice.
Cintrice has an enchanting body and seems to have a bright future in adult films. Her threesome with dependable Lisa Be and the ever-potent R. Bolla adds a few zesty moments to an otherwise dismal movie. In The Starmaker, saddled with unworkable lines, she performs admirably. Hopefully, future films will serve as better vehicles for her talents.
The final scene —a coming out party for Cintrice at New York's Plato's Retreat— has some decent sexual moments. R. Bolla and Sharon Mitchell make a nice splash together in the pool and readers who would normally not attend a sex club party get a rare glimpse inside the famous pleasure palace.
The Starmaker also captures several regular Plato patrons in sexual action. In addition, Marc Stevens and Veronica hart appear briefly in non-sexual cameos. Ron Jeremy appear for about ten seconds, but is listed as one of the film's stars.
Failing to measure up to the current crop of X-rated videotapes, The Starmaker seems to have no real direction, few original ideas, and some non-arousing sex scenes that might have your finger on the speed search of your VCR.

Gilberto Gil, widely known as the godfather of the Tropicália movement, is for sure one of the all-time greatest Brazilian musicians.
With over 50 albums, awards ranging from seven Grammys to the Polar Prize, and a strong social commitment in his lyrics, Gil was a natural choice to be Brazil's Minister of Culture for five years (2003-08).
Gil makes his Walt Disney Concert Hall debut next Tuesday with a concert of the danceable, funky, folkloric rhythms from northeastern Brazil known as forró.
Forró is a type of country, party music from northeastern Brazil, fostered broadly by the late Luiz Gonzaga, aka, the "king of forró".
Check out the video for a sample of what promises to be a great show.

Barack Obama really does view himself as a god-king Pharaoh. Last night without any authorization from Congress, Obama waived frozen funds for the Palestinian Authority. He sent $192 Million to a terrorist entity.
Friday night news dump: President Obama has decided to provide $192 million to the Palestinian Authority despite Congress's freeze on PA funding after its president, Mahmoud Abbas, attempted to declare statehood unilaterally last September, in violation of the PA's treaty commitments.
Obama's "waiver" of the restrictions on Congress's Palestinian Accountability Act was first reported in the foreign press (AFP), which is where Americans generally need to go to get news about what the U.S. administration is up to. A report from the Times of Israel is here. [Hat tip, Creeping Sharia.] The New York Times, evidently too busy reporting on how much Israel sucks, did not find this story fit to print.
White House spinmeister Tommy Vietor stated that President Obama made the decision to pour American taxpayer dollars into Palestinian coffers in order to ensure "the continued viability of the moderate PA government."
The PA continues to endorse terrorism against Israel as "resistance." Moreover, the PA most certainly does not recognize Israel's right to exist. Back in November, for example, Adil Sadeq, a PA official writing in the official PA daily, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, declared that Israelis
This is disgusting and shows the totalitarian nature of Obama. He really would make himself a Pharaoh if he could.

WWE Payback PPV is this Sunday, June 1st on the WWE Network ( I will not plug it...or maybe I just did). This is what I like to call a "filler Pay Per View" and without a WWE Title match, let's just hope we get through as painless as possible to set up 'Money In the Bank' on June 29th. So let's jump into the card and predictions!
Pre-show match Hornswoggle vs El Torito in a 'Hair vs Mask' match. I criticized these two the last pay per view and it turned out to be quite entertaining so I will do it again! I have no interest in this and I think this takes up way too much TV time. Don't they have Main Event and other Network only shows for this? I say El Torito wins and we get a bald Horsnwoggle.
Divas Title-- Champion Paige vs Alicia Fox! Alicia Fox has been going crazy lately (which is entertaining) and even picking up a win over the Champ in the her own country. But I do love Paige so I would hope to see her retain the title.
US Title-- Champion Sheamus vs Cesaro. Cesaro is on a hot streak so what do the bookers do…set up a rivalry for the US title. (I'm scratching my head here also). Sheamus is the champ and is expected to make a heel turn soon (if you believe the stories online but it's better not to *day 312 of the Sting Contract watch*) so losing the title may help that but Cesaro doesn't need the US title again. I expect Cesaro to win this to continue to be hot with the best manager in the world (Ladies and Gentleman, Paul Heyman)!
Intercontinental Title-- Champion Wade Barrett (who I love) vs Rob Van Dam (who I love). I would book this match to be the replacement WWE World Title match but as you can see I am very biased. Wade Barrett isn't quite to that main event level, but going over RVD will help him get there. RVD has made a believer of me of the 'part-time' wrestlers as he comes back, puts on good matches with new talent and most importantly: Gets them Over! I pick Wade Barrett but I wouldn't mind seeing RVD have a run with a title (not my first pick of title for him but its 2nd best).
John Cena vs Bray Wyatt-- It is the rubber match between these two guys and it is in a Last Man Standing Match! Usually John Cena steps up and knocks these matches out of the park and I expect this one to do the same. Bray Wyatt should go over here BUT what should happen is rarely ever does. Either way, I'm picking this match to steal the show (unless they put a Fandango vs Adam Rose match last minute) and to knock one of their other matches out of my Top 5 Matches of 2014! And if John Cena gets lost, he can Follow the Buzzards!
Shield vs Evolution-- In a no holds barred elimination match, the Shield will be taking on Evolution in what will hopefully end this feud. I am not a fan of HHH (him putting himself over the last few years has made this dislike increase) and the only member of Evolution that has any quality is Randall, but I want the Shield freed up. Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns will all be future WWE Champions (looks like Reigns will be first) so I would like them all available for a very interesting Money In the Bank PPV. This should be a solid PPV and it comes in with the Network so what a deal! Stay Classy!

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -
The University of Alabama track and field team posted 18 top 10 performances and three first place finishes at the Auburn Invitational this weekend staged at the Birmingham CrossPlex.
The Crimson Tide also got wins from Kamal Fuller in the men's long jump, Krystle Schade in the women's high jump and the women's distance medley relay.
"We had a lot of positives this weekend with wins in the high jump against a very deep, talented field and in the long jump," UA head coach Dan Waters said. "Last night Amethyst [Holmes] became the SEC leader in the weight throw and Tyler [Campbell] did a good job jumping over seven feet again in addition to a lot nice PRs from the team. We're still looking to make some adjustments trying to get better in our next week of training before we head to New York."
Fuller recorded a jump of 25-3.5 to improve on last week's result by more than a foot. Schade cleared 5-11.5 in the high jump for her second win in as many weeks and the women's DMR squad of Katlyn Will, Aubrielle Wright, Elsbeth Denton and Andrea Torske easily won the event with a time of 12:14.75.
The men's DMR squad of Oliver Blake, Joel Lynch, Nicholas Hayes and Austin Duckworth finished third in 10:18.24. Lynch and Duckworth also finished sixth in the 400 meters and mile, respectively with personal bests. In field events for the men, Tyler Campbell cleared 7-0.25 to finish second in the high jump while Jonathan Reid was seventh at 6-6.25.
Amethyst Holmes started the meet off strong for the women's squad with the top throw by a collegiate thrower at 64-8 in the weight throw on Friday evening behind two unattached competitors. Wilamena Hopkins continued the throwers' efforts on Saturday with a fifth-place performance in the shot put at 49-3.75.
Merilyn Uudmae made her triple jump debut at UA by finishing fifth with a jump of 39-11.5 and Alexis Paine finished eighth in the pole vault by clearing 12-1.5.
The Tide will have two weeks of training to prepare for its next competition, the New Balance Collegiate Invitational on Feb. 3-4 at the Armory in New York, N.Y.

Vitamins are essential for the normal functioning of our body, as they play a vital role in cell functions, growth, and development. Vitamins can be grouped into two types: water soluble vitamins and fat soluble vitamins. Out of the 13 essential vitamins, four vitamins, namely, vitamins A, D, E and K, are fat soluble vitamins, while the other 9 vitamins, including vitamins C and the B vitamins, are water soluble vitamins. Fat soluble vitamins can be stored in the fatty tissues, whereas water soluble vitamins except B12 are flushed out of the body through and should be replenished regularly. One has to include a variety of foods in his/her diet in order to obtain all essential vitamins, as there is no single food that can provide all the vitamins to the body.
Vitamin A plays a vital role in bone growth, vision and cell division. It promotes good vision and helps to maintain healthy bones, teeth, skin, and soft tissues. Sources of Vitamin A include both animal and plant sources.
Animal sources include the following:
Fruits and vegetables are good plant sources. Some of the fruits that are high in vitamin A include:
Some of the vegetables that are high in vitamin A are
Dairy products such as cheese, milk, and yogurt are also good natural sources of vitamin A.
Vitamin B complex includes B 1 or thiamine, B2 or riboflavin, B3 or nicotinic acid, B6 or pyridoximine, B12 or cobalamin, and folate folic acid. Vitamin B complex helps in cell repair, digestion, and metabolism, and boosts the immune system. Some of the best food sources of vitamin B include:
Vitamin C is vital for growth and it boosts the immune system, thereby preventing many ailments such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, malabsorption of iron, etc. We already know that citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C; however, apart from citrus fruits, other foods that are high in vitamin C include:
Vitamin D is vital for healthy bones and teeth. It helps to absorb calcium and maintain the level of calcium and phosphorus. Sun is the best source for vitamin D. However, several food sources are also available. Some of the best food sources of Vitamin D include:
Vitamin E is an antioxidant and helps in the production of red blood cells. Foods that are rich in vitamin E include:
Vitamin K plays a vital role in the blood clotting process in the body and helps to maintain strong bones. The best food sources of Vitamin K include:
Vitamin P, also known as bioflavonoids, helps in blood circulation by strengthening the capillaries. People whose diet includes fruits and vegetables, automatically can fulfill vitamin P requirement, as brightly colored fruits and vegetables are good sources of vitamin P. The best food sources of vitamin P include:
Apart from these natural sources of vitamins, dietary supplements help to fulfill the vitamin requirements, if the food that you eat does not supply the required amount of vitamins. It is best to consult a doctor to find out if you are suffering from any vitamin deficiency. Based on the doctor's advice, you can then either improve your diet or consume appropriate supplements.

Charlie Foxtrot.
Embrace the Suck. Intensive military activity creates an incubator for slang. By bringing together people from geographically diverse backgrounds, putting them into stressful circumstances, and teaching them a new language of jargon and acronym, the armed forces create fertile ground for new idioms - many of which return home in civvies when the conflicts are over. In the Civil War, World War I and World War II, in Korea and in Viet Nam, servicepeople created or popularized now-familiar terms like shoddy, hotshot, cooties, tailspin, fleabag, face time, joystick, SNAFU, FUBAR, flaky, gung ho, no sweat, flame-out, and many, many others. Now, the GWOT brings us a new generation of 'milspeak'. Military columnist Austin Bay has published an early collection of neologisms from Gulf War II. On NPR, Bay explains what The Suck is, how to identify a fobbit, and why Marines look down on the attitude of Semper I.

Another great chapter! Good Job! :) When are we going to find out who is Hope's father? Can't wait untill the next chapter!!!!!!!!!! :) :)
Author's Response:
I'm glad you like it. I actually enjoyed writing a life-changing moment for Harry, because usually, his life changing moments are bad ones. Watching a baby being born was definitely a good thing for him.
You'll find out soon about whose baby it is. *best Yoda voice* Patience, young one. Hehe
I am sooooooo glad I checked for updates to your story today. If it's been a while since I posted a "Great Job" to you, it's because things have been busy.
Anyway, I have really enjoyed the last four chapters. Very interesting plot twists to keep the story lively; especially old George being so sneaky. EX-cellent!
This chapter stuck out though, because you really wrote the birth with more emotion than previous chapters; the descriptions of Harry & Hermione's actions and responses was vivid.
Tons of props to you!! =)
Author's Response:
One thing I've learnt from being in a large family is that childbirth is more nerve-racking and intense than the world's biggest roller coaster. It takes a particular brand of stamina to endure the process as a spectator. Plus, Harry had never so much as considered children by this point, so when he was put into the roll of mum, dad, and house elf, it sort of culminated to the intense experience of being with Hermione as she gave birth. I'm glad that came across.
Thanks as always for your review, Sean, and I'm glad you have time in your busy schedule to read my little tale. It means a lot to me as an author. :)
I have to say it really is hard to find a good story these days, most are poorly planed and written in way that it is impossible to follow what is going on. This story on the other hand is brilliantly written with a story that captures you from the moment that you read the first line.
I've been searching for a story like this for the longest time, hell even tried getting my brother to write one (Satashi). After finding this story last night at a bit after midnight, I couldn't go to sleep until I read every word!
The only down side to this story is it isn't finished yet. You do great work and I'm hooked on the story, I only ask that you don't abandon it like so many other authors do. That and write as fast as you can.
Again great gripping story!
Author's Response:
Wow, I'm flattered. Really, that's spectacular.
Honestly, I haven't really planned for this story at all outside of a base set of events, but I suppose spinning tales is one of my better skills, since it doesn't seem to show. I hope to see you next update, and I'm so glad you enjoy the story.
Take care and happy reading!
please, please let the baby be Harry's! I love the story!
Author's Response:
I'm glad you like the story, and I think we'll find out soon who little Hope's daddy is. Thanks for stopping in and reviewing. :D
Loved it again nice work........
When will they know that Hope is not Ron's daughter???
Update soon pls..........
Author's Response:
Hehe, how do you know if Hope isn't Ron's daughter? She has dark hair, and so does Hermione. :D
Thanks for reading / reviewing. An update will come soon. I should probably get to writing it, come to think of it. *Disapparates*
Ummm...WOW. I am not, in any way, shape, or form, an H/Hr person. I clicked on this story, though, because it seemed interesting, and now I'm hooked! I love that although they care very much for one another, that you still seem to capture the canon platonic-ness. They're living together for all of the right reasons. And the baby?? uuugggh is it Harry's or Ron's? Great job with the ambiguity...I thought it was going to come out with green eyes or a ton of black hair or something, lol. Keep up the excellent writing! :D
Author's Response:
You know, as much as I love the Harry/Hermione ship, I know it has its limits as to how much I can enjoy it. The characters have to be themselves and they have to be the same two that we know from teh books. They're not going to fall in bed together unless it's under bizarre circumstances or only after a lot of soul searching. I'm glad you like their interactions and think them in-character.
Genetically speaking, though, all babies come out with blue eyes, and the gradual gathering of mellanin determines their permanent colour in the first few months on infancy. And I honestly gave the baby girl Hermione's hair colour just to screw with people ad make them fret over whose baby it is. For I am evil like that. >:D
Thanks for reading and reviewing. It's always a gift to authors to receive feedback. I hope you enjoy future installments.
Author's Response:
I'm glad you like it. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story. :D
Have I told you that you're an awesome writer yet? Well you are, and you need to know this so you'll NEVER STOP UPDATING!!!!! ;)
Author's Response:
Haha, I'll never stop updating. I've got so much from which to choose when it comes to updates that it's inevitable. I'm glad you enjoy the story, and thanks for the encouragement. It's like Red Bull for writing, I'm telling you. Never stop reviewing stories you love. :)
Excellent chapter!!
Author's Response:
Thank you much. It's sort of odd writing a male POV in the delivery room. Harry is such a sucker for Hermione's little girl. He didn't know he had it in him.
Until we meet again...
Amazing job on this. The secnes were well done, and you captured the emotions so well. I think this has to be one of my favourites. Except for the end part, which was really depressing. But still amazing! ;) Nice work.
Author's Response:
I'm glad you like the story. The past couple of chapters have been mostly character-driven, but the action should start picking up really soon. I hope to hear from you next time. Thanks for reviewing!
Author's Response:
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for reading/reviewing. :)
Ooooooh! Another cliff hanger!! But is she really Ron's?!
Author's Response:
All in good time, my dear. All in good time...
Ha ha i hate you so much. No just kidding this is an awesome story, I've never read a fanfiction thats been so long without giving up and I've read this all in one go. Still my head is screaming in protest at this chapter!
Author's Response: Hehe, that's what you get for reading non-canon. The little voice inside your head tells you what should and shouldn't be. That's part of the enjoyment of it, and I hope you stick with the story. And update will be coming out in a few days. :D ~Jess
great job so far
Author's Response: Thank you. I'm glad you enjoy the story. An update will come next week. :D ~Jess
red hair or brown?! goodness! What a cliff hanger!
Author's Response: Haha, you don't get to know yet! And I get to stick my tongue out in a very adult-like, 'neener neener' way. No worries, you'll find out eventually... in Chapter 10 or 11, I expect. Evil cliffies. >:D ~Jess
yay! the baby's almost here! i did not expect time to go by so quickly, but I'm glad it did. :D
can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Well, I'm happy if you're happy. :D There was nothing really in the works to happen during the pregnancy, and I doubted that anyone really cared to read about Harry cooking and Hermione turning into a 'house' outside of mention that it happened. the action will start picking up soon (promise), and I hope to hear from you after the next installment. ~Jess
:O I have a feeling this baby won't have red hair!!!
Author's Response: Jules, it's been foreverrrrr! Ya know, it's weird, because right after DH came out, this fic has been getting reads/reviews left and right. *basks* I hope you're enjoying the story thus far. It took a turn for the weird, that's for sure, hehe. Thanks for the review, dear. ~Jess
Nice cliffie Jess.... I'm a little mad at you for that, but you make up for it with your fantastic chapters! Nice work :)
Author's Response: Hehe, I'm a fiend for cliffie endings for chapters. I just feel like, since there's always a wait for the next installment, I want to keep people wanting to read. I'm glad you like the story, and an update will come next week. Thanks for the review, as always! ~Jess
Wow, you wrote that really fast! I wasn't expecting her to give birth until 3 or 4 chapters from now. But I'm still confused, Ron or Harry's? Update soon! :)
Author's Response: Well, you're not supposed to know whose it is. The characters don't know, and neither do you. Muahahahaha. I really didn't see the point in drawing out the pregnancy, because most people are familiar with how that goes, and not a whole lot by the way of interest happens during that time, so why not gloss over it, I thought. And I have one more chapter prepared thus far, and I'll post that next week. Thanks for reading and reviewing. It always makes my day. :D ~Jess
Nice! Did you plan the parallel to Harry's parents being in hiding during Lily's pregnancy? It's neat. I'm still wondering whose baby it is. You've been nicely enigmatic with the timeline. Hermione would have realized if it was too late to be physically possible as Ron's; what's interesting is that she doesn't remember sleeping with Harry, and that wasn't that long after Ron died, was it? Interesting. Are you going to reveal with the birth? And are you going to give them any happiness whatsoever?!
~Gina :)
PS. Nice touch with Teddy - I was wondering about him when he suddenly appeared!
Author's Response: I didn't really parallel anything on purpose; it was just the next natural step, with Harry worrying that Yaxley was going to hurt the people he cares about. I'm enjoying how people are fishing for information about whose baby it is. All will be revealed in due time. :D I am planning on a non-miserable ending, but I can't guarantee anything, because my muse does pretty much what she likes. You know how that works.

The Misinformation of Barry Groves and Weston Price
I am glad Barry Groves (an electronic engineer, and honorary board member of the Weston Price Foundation) returned and chimed in again. (This is a continuation of an earlier conversation--if you haven't already please read the whole thing.) Now that his name has been mentioned many times here at DiseaseProof.com when people search for it on the web, hopefully they will be able to read his comments and my responses and see that his nutritional viewpoints are illogical and dangerous. Hopefully this will have some effect from anyone dying needlessly from his writings elsewhere and some book publisher will have second thoughts about publishing anything he puts together.
Barry Groves doesn't get the idea that I am not defending the American diet or the almost worthless recommendations of the American Heart Association. However, I am claiming that my dietary and nutritional recommendations are dramatically protective and can enable people to heart-attack-proof their bodies.
Barry Groves obviously did not read Disease-Proof Your Child or Eat To Live, but maybe others too, are not clear that I clearly explain that processed foods, sugar, white flour, and other low-fat, low-nutrient foods promote heart disease. Saturated fat is only one causative factor; but one I do not ignore.
Dangerous Advice
I realize the web allows a forum for people with potentially dangerous advice, but I think most intelligent people can see through his straw arguments, so I welcome the opportunity to comment again to his skewed nutritional viewpoints and unsubstantiated claims. Each time Barry Groves reports on a medical study he gave a different conclusion to the data than the researchers do, and the studies are usually some poorly done old study. It is typical stuff for the Atkins crowd and the Weston Price Foundation to find one research paper they can claim makes their argument legitimate, but even when they hand pick one study, they typically don't report the research accurately.
Fortunately we have a comprehensive body of knowledge today with over 15,000 articles written since the 1950's documenting the link between a diet high in saturated fat and low in fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetable and beans and the increase risk of cancer and heart disease. Thousands of research scientists don't agree with Barry Groves' meat-centered diet recommendations and the platform of the Weston Price Foundation.
Respected Research Agrees
Let's look at what the most respected modern researchers say after a lifetime of collecting data from all over the world, and I will let the data speak for itself without my interpretation. I could have easily put a hundred decent studies on this list, but a few will illustrate the point. The following indented lines are cut and pasted from medical abstracts; the comments are from the abstracts not mine.
Huxley R ; Lewington S ; Clarke R. Cholesterol, coronary heart disease and stroke: a review of published evidence from observational studies and randomized controlled trials. Semin Vasc Med. 2002; 2(3):315-23
In observational epidemiologic studies, lower blood cholesterol is associated with a reduced risk from coronary heart disease (CHD) throughout the normal range of cholesterol values observed in most Western populations. There is a continuous positive relationship between CHD risk and blood cholesterol down to at least 3 to 4 mmol/l, with no threshold below which a lower cholesterol is not associated with a lower risk. Observational studies suggest that a prolonged difference in total cholesterol of about 1 mmol/l is associated with one-third less CHD deaths in middle age. Dietary saturated fat is the chief determinant of total and LDL cholesterol levels.
Tucker KL ; Hallfrisch J ; Qiao N ; et al. The combination of high fruit and vegetable and low saturated fat intakes is more protective against mortality in aging men than is either alone: the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. J Nutr. 2005; 135(3):556-61.
Saturated fat (SF) intake contributes to the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality. Recently, the protective effects of fruit and vegetable (FV) intake on both CHD and all-cause mortality were documented. However, individuals consuming more FV may be displacing higher-fat foods. Therefore, we investigated the individual and combined effects of FV and SF consumption on total and CHD mortality among 501 initially healthy men in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA). Over a mean 18 y of follow-up, 7-d diet records were taken at 1-7 visits. Cause of death was ascertained from death certificates, hospital records, and autopsy data. After adjustment for age, total energy intake, BMI, smoking, alcohol use, dietary supplements, and physical activity score, FV and SF intakes were individually associated with lower all-cause and CHD mortality (P < 0.05). When both FV and SF were included in the same model, associations of each were attenuated with CHD mortality, and no longer significant for all-cause mortality. Men consuming the combination of > or =5 servings of FV/d and < or =12% energy from SF were 31% less likely to die of any cause (P < 0.05), and 76% less likely to die from CHD (P < 0.001), relative to those consuming < 5 FV and >12% SF. Men consuming either low SF or high FV, but not both, did not have a significantly lower risk of total mortality; but did have 64-67% lower risk of CHD mortality (P < 0.05) relative to those doing neither. These results confirm the protective effects of low SF and high FV intake against CHD mortality. In addition, they extend these findings by demonstrating that the combination of both behaviors is more protective than either alone, suggesting that their beneficial effects are mediated by different mechanisms.
Dwyer T ; Emmanuel SC ; Janus ED ; et al. The emergence of coronary heart disease in populations of Chinese descent. Atherosclerosis. 2003; 167(2):303-10.
Most countries in oriental Asia have not yet experienced the 'western' coronary heart disease (CHD) epidemic despite substantial economic development. An exception has been Singapore. We compared mortality and CHD risk factors in Singapore with two Oriental locations, Hong Kong and mainland China, which have not experienced the CHD epidemic. Mortality data from World Health Statistics Annuals age standardized for each location and were supplemented by local data. Risk factor data was obtained from population-based surveys using similar protocols in each location. Measures included diet, blood lipids, blood pressure, height and weight. CHD mortality in the year chosen for comparison, 1994, was significantly higher for Singapore Chinese males [108 (95.2-119.1)] than Chinese males in Hong Kong [44.3 (40.2-48.2)] or China [45.5 (44.2-46.8)]. Female CHD mortality was also relatively higher in Singapore Chinese. The only CHD risk factor markedly higher in Singapore Chinese was serum cholesterol; Singapore males [5.65 (5.55-5.75)], females [5.60 (5.50-5.70)], Hong Kong males [5.21 (5.11-5.31)], females [5.20 (5.10-5.29)] and China males [4.54 (4.46-4.62)], females [4.49 (4.42-4.55)]. Dietary differences in saturated fat consumption were consistent with this. Although there was little difference in total fat intake, a higher consumption of dietary saturated fat and lower consumption of polyunsaturated fat, accompanied by higher serum cholesterol, appear to explain the relatively high CHD mortality in Singapore compared with Hong Kong and mainland China. Differences in body mass index, blood pressure and smoking between locations did not explain the differences in CHD mortality.
Hu FB ; Manson JE ; Willett WC Types of dietary fat and risk of coronary heart disease: a critical review. J Am Coll Nutr. 2001; 20(1):5-19.
During the past several decades, reduction in fat intake has been the main focus of national dietary recommendations to decrease risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Several lines of evidence. however, have indicated that types of fat have a more important role in determining risk of CHD than total amount of fat in the diet. Metabolic studies have long established that the type of fat, but not total amount of fat, predicts serum cholesterol levels. In addition, results from epidemiologic studies and controlled clinical trials have indicated that replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fat is more effective in lowering risk of CHD than simply reducing total fat consumption. In this article, we review evidence from epidemiologic studies and dietary intervention trials addressing the relationship between dietary fat intake and risk of CHD, with a particular emphasis on different major types of fat, n-3 fatty acids and the optimal balance between n-3 and n-6 fatty acids. We also discuss the implications of the available evidence in the context of current dietary recommendations.
But this is not just about heart disease. And again, with 1,500 references in my book, Eat To Live documenting my dietary recommendations for healthy weight loss, I am only placing a few representative studies here. For example, a recent study showed that after following almost 200,000 Americans for seven years, those who regularly consumed red meat had a double the occurrence of pancreatic cancer. (Nothlings U Wilkins, LR, Murphy, SP Hankins JH et al. Meat and fat intake as risk factors for pancreatic cancer the multiethnic short study J Natl Cancer Inst. 2005 97:1458-65.)
Profits vs. Sense
I realize that quoting one study after another or using clear science and logic will not change the mind of those selling and profiting from the appeal of the meat-based diet like Barry Groves and the Weston Price Foundation recommend. It is still important to address them so that an uninformed individual is not taken in by their dangerous form of quackery, like so many did with Atkins.
Poor Health of Indigenous Meat-Eaters
The dangerous habits of Americans or Europeans who eat only about 5 percent of their caloric intake from fresh produce and the majority of calories from processed foods, does not in anyway make a diet centered on meat health supporting. The whole purpose of this website is to offer information that can offer people control over their health destiny, without dependency on medications and without a premature death due to nutritional ignorance. With the knowledge we have available today and the access to high quality foods all year round we have a unique opportunity to live well and longer than ever before in human history.
When Barry Groves and the Weston Price Foundation people listed above rest their laurels on the health of high meat eating tribes, we have to counter that with real research, not phony claims. The research on the life expectancy of these people is clear. The Inuit Greenlanders have the worst longevity statistics in North America. A careful literature search reveals multiple studies documenting an earlier death in these people as a result of their low consumption of fresh produce and their high consumption of meat.
Legitimate research on the health of these people at present and in the past, show that they die on the average about 10 years younger and have a higher rate of cancer than the general population of Canada. Again, we don't want to mimic the population of Canada and certainly not a population with even a shorter life expectancy. But this research can not be ignore: Iburg KM ; Br�nnum-Hansen H ; Bjerregaard P. Health expectancy in Greenland.
Scand J Public Health. 2001; 29(1):5-12. Choini�re R. Mortality among the Baffin Inuit in the mid-80s.Arctic Med Res. 1992; 51(2):87-93.
Similar statistics are available about the Maasai in Kenya. The Maasai are best distinguished by their jewelry and ornamentation in their "self-deformation" of the body: elongated or torn ear lobes and stretched out lips. They do eat a diet rich in wild hunted meats and have the worst life expectancy in the modern world today. Maasai women have a life expectancy of 45 years, and men only live 42 years. I know these red-meat loving nuts will claim that those statistics are of the modern Maasai, not those of years gone by, but the data is also damaging even if you bring up statistics from 20 or more years ago, when good data was collected. Real African researchers, not Weston Price who just briefly visited them, or the list of Groves' Weston Price Foundation compatriots, documented that a Maasai rarely lived past the age of 60 and when they did, they were considered a very old man. If you want to mimic that dietary style, I guess that is your right, but certainly we know a little more about nutrition than the typical Maasai warrior. (Consider these sources: http://www.kenya.za.net/maasai-cycles-of-life.html and www.who.int/countries/Ken/en/)
Adult mortality figures on the Kenyan Maasai, show that they have a fifty percent chance of dying before the age of 59.
Choosing Between Two Bad Diets vs. Choosing an Optimal One
Weston Price and the Weston Price Foundation's claims about achieving good health on a diet rich in saturated fat are entirely without substance or merit. Weston Price himself did not painstakingly document the lifespan of these people; he was a dentist who just made a quick visit and jumped to simplistic conclusions claiming people were healthy by looking at their teeth. He ignored life expectancy, infant mortality, high rate of infection and many other confounding variables. Weston Price did not grasp the complexity of multi-factorial causation and this tradition is continued by his followers today. This in no way dismisses or makes less of the importance of Price's criticism of the dangers of sugar and other processed foods modern societies eat.
And maybe eating lots of wild meats and natural vegetation, without exposure to modern processed foods may offer a better health outcome than a modern American eating even less produce, and more processed foods, (which may be even worse) but we don't purchase a car by comparing it to a junkyard wreck, we want to know what is best. Fortunately, we actually know that eating a higher percentage of vegetables, legumes, fruit, and raw nuts and seeds in a diet (and much less animal products) can offer a profound longevity advantage due to a broad symphony of life-extending phytochemical nutrients. We have a unique opportunity in human history, we can devise a lifestyle and diet-style to dramatically increase our productive years and live well into the nineties or later without dementia or medical tragedies. We must offer recommendations based on a broad overview of all the evidence. The evidence here is overwhelming; and for those who want maximum control of their health destiny one's dietary choices should not be based on politics, ego, or a belief system.

Finally, after the USPS finally decided to deliver the AR15 I bought from Tubby45 (don't hesitate to do business with this guy:hand10:), I got the call from the receiving FFL dealer and the did the only rational thing I could think of: I called the boss and told him I had to leave early. Directly to the dealer, then a quick stop at home for some gear, then off to the range.
Great gun, only put a couple boxes through though. I noticed the rear peep seem rather big, and I was a bit embarrassed at my shooting at 50 yards. I kept managing to put them all around the 5 1/2" Shoot n C. I had been hoping for better groups.
Well, now that I'm home, I noticed that the rear peep actually has two peeps. :doh: A big one presumably for quick/combat shots, and a smaller one for more precise work. I guess I won't actually go back today, but I will figure out how to clean her and make some reloads so I can test them when I go back. Good fun.
