This is very lovely.
This is the most beautiful portrait of Esmeralda I have ever looked upon! it makes her look passionate and awe-inspiringly beautiful beyond words! The hair is perfect are her eyes, and the skin is a nice tan, which pairs well in color to the gown. I love this, utterly so. I also like how Esmeralda was beautiful inside and out.
The most beautiful Esmeralda I've ever seen. Moreover, she's young and not slutty, which is so rare with depicting her. The only thing missing is braids she actually wore her hair in but it doesn't matter here. Thank you!

After a rare weekend off and some much needed rest, the NAHL Fresno Monsters began their penultimate home series of the 2010-11 season with a game against the Dawson Creek Rage on Wednesday night. The Monsters are still technically in the hunt for a playoff spot in their first season, but there's no denying the importance of every available point from here on out, so the team knew they needed to get out there and earn it.
They looked pretty comfortable in the first period. As usual, there were a few turnovers and penalties, but the Monsters scored first when Steven Obrazanek potted one 9:02 into the game. Riley Borer and Garrett Orhn assisted on the goal. The Rage evened things up at 13:22, but the Monsters outshot them 7-5 in the period and were definitely in the game.
It seemed like momentum was swinging the Monsters' way in the second period. They continued to get the bulk of the scoring chances and Willie Hess repeatedly broke away from defenders and got shots on goal. But a string of penalties later in the period took their toll. The Monsters killed a couple, including a 5-on-3, but the Rage finally buried one at 16:23. Fair or not, they had the lead, but the Monsters continued to work hard once they got back to full strength. The last shift of the period produced several shots on the Rage net and finally, with 8 seconds left, Obrazanek put his second one of the night past Dawson Creek's goalie. This time it was Matt Coleman and Riley Borer picking up the assists. Obviously, tying the game right before intermission was huge for the Monsters and the Selland Arena crowd was just hoping they could carry the momentum into the final twenty minutes.
It started rough, with Dawson Creek scoring 46 seconds into the period, but the Monsters bounced back when Riley Borer scored on a delayed penalty at 2:50. Borer had drawn the penalty, but got back up an was fed a great pass from Mike Cox in the high slot and he placed it short side, top shelf to make it an even game again. Obrazanek completed his hat trick on a power play at 6:59. Orhn picked up another assist on that one. After that, things got a little messy. The Monsters started getting called for a bunch of penalties. Dawson's skaters were going down like soccer players, but it was working for them. They got a lot of calls, but Tom Conlin was working hard in the Monster net and the guys in front of him were trying not to let too many shots get to him. It looked like things might take an even better turn when Derek Sutliffe was awarded a penalty shot after being tripped on a break-away. He just missed on the attempt, though, and the team went back to killing a penalty. Stay short-handed long enough and it's going to get you. With a 5-on-3 advantage, the Rage scored at 15:40 to tie the game 4-4, which is where it stayed until the end of regulation.
The Monsters had taken another penalty just before the end of regulation, so they started overtime short-handed. That proved to be their undoing, as the Rage's Dakota Mason scored his second goal of the game 56 seconds in. That was it for the Monsters in a game that they not only could have, but should have won.
"There are only so many times you can kill penalties," a frustrated Coach Eric Ballard said afterward. "We had nine to their five and we were down five on three twice. I hate to keep bringing up officiating, but it was a factor. The bottom line, though, is that we have to tighten it up."
The NAHL Monsters host Dawson Creek again at 7:35 Friday night, while the WSHL Monsters will host the Bakersfield Condors at 3:30 PM Friday afternoon.

Remember the composition notebook I covered? I picked up 2 packs of mini ones and made some more.
Brodie picked the Explorer and started writing notes already. Then he tells his brothers his secrets are inside and they can't read them. You know how that ends….
Jordan loves marbles and already had a travel pillow made out of this fabric, so he's all about this. He also loves sharks and dolphins, so his notebook is filled with "fin stuff" and shark drawings.
Luke is the robot. He also plays spy a lot and says there's lots of inventions and secrets in here.
I made myself some, too!
The tutorial I used is here.
Easy, useful, and I get to play with fabric? Yes!
I hope you have a great weekend! Any plans? Making anything?

"Quality kush for sale." "We do overnight shipping and very discrete." "Best strains of high-quality medicinal at moderate prices."
You've seen the posts on Facebook, Twitter, and your favorite websites. and some of you have probably even contacted some of these spammers. As a result of some messages we've been receiving questioning the authenticity of buying marijuana online (come on people, really?!), it seemed to us that it would be the perfect time to address this epidemic. The absurdity of these online scammers can be summed up in one of our recent interactions:
1. First we downloaded Burner (disposable phone number app)
2. Next we texted many said dealers until we could arrange a conversation
3. Here is the ensuing conversation:
HT: We're doing a piece about buying pot online for our HIGH TIMES readers. You seem to be trying to sell marijuana online. Can you elaborate?
Anonymous: Yes, we have new strains available all the time: OG Kush, AK47, Sour Diesel, Skywalker OG. We provide safe and discreet packaging we put our stuff inside a Turkey double bag vacuum seal before shipment, packaging is 100% safe and secure with a discreet shipping and delivery.
HT: Are you a cop?
Anonymous: No.
HT: Are you sure?
Anonymous: Yes.
HT: I've heard you also sell "juvial Yorkie pups."
Anonymous: Who told you that?
HT: A Google search of your phone number. Also "exotic cats."
Anonymous: I don't know what you're talking about.
HT: Okay, thanks for your time.
So as you can see, it is NOT a good idea to buy marijuana online from these guys/girls...ever. It's a scam. There are horror stories from people online who have tried. You don't get the pot. Or the money back. Really...don't do it.

Once upon a time there were three little towns in northwestern Minnesota, Winger, Erskine and Mcintosh. who bonded together in 1986 to form Win-E-Mac High School. In 2014, hoards of fans from these three communities filled the lower bowl of Williams Arena to see Madison McKeever score 27 points and lead the Patriots to a 61-53 win over the Minneota Vikings in the Class A championship game Saturday afternoon.
It was the first state title for Win-E-Mac in their third trip to state.
The Vikings took the early lead on a basket from Taylor Reiss. Alayna Espeseth tied the game for the Patriots. Shelby Corbin would hit a three pointer and Emily Stienessen would score four straight points to spark a 9-0 Minneota run. But Win-E-Mac came back, thanks to a three from the sophomore McKeever. McKeever would also end a 4-0 Viking run. Shelby Kaster's score would cut the lead to two and Korbyn Ross would hit a three to put the Patriots ahead. They would go on a 11-0 run that ended on a free throw from Corbin. Win-E-Mac would lead at halftime 35-26.
Ross would begin the second half scoring for the Patriots. McKeever would hit a lay up to increase the lead to 11. The Vikings offense would finally get going in the second half with a pair of key baskets from Reiss and a tight inside defense propelled them on a 12-0 run. Stienessen would cut the lead to three as Ashley Glass, who didn't tally in the first half, scored seven points to help keep Minneota from bringing home a second consecutive Class A title.
Ross was the only other Patriot in double figures, scoring 17 points. Reiss led the Vikings with 18 points and Stienessen added 17.
In the third place game at Ganglehoff Center on the Concordia University in St. Paul, Goodhue beat Mankato Loyola 74-62.
Win-E-Mac head coach Ian Hanson mentioned hat McKeever has meant to the team's success. "She runs the show, gets the girls on offense and has a tenacious style of play."
He also summed up McKeever's future as pretty bright. "She works harder than anyone in the off season."

Paul McCartney and his friend Elvis Costello collaborate on the first TV ad for Linda's food firm for 15 years.
12:19, UK, Friday 18 January 2013
Sir Paul McCartney has recorded a song to accompany a new TV advert for his late wife Linda's vegetarian food range.
The commercial, to be screened later this month, will also feature an animated version of Linda, who died in 1998.
It is thought to be the first time Sir Paul has specifically recorded a tune for an ad, although his songs were made available for licensing to commercials several years ago.
The frozen food firm which Linda launched has not advertised on television for 15 years.
The advert has been narrated by Sir Paul's friend, music veteran Elvis Costello, who has been a vegetarian since the early 1980s.
He follows in the footsteps of his late father Ross McManus as the voice of an ad - he sang the R White's theme Secret Lemonade Drinker in the 1970s.
Costello said: "Linda always talked well and made it seem that you wouldn't be joining a secret weird society by being vegetarian."
The ad, to be screened from January 28, has been created by a team which has worked on animated projects for The Beatles and Gorillaz and features Linda walking her children to a woodland feast.
Fans will be scouring the footage for references to Sir Paul.
An image of a sheepdog makes several appearances and could be the dog immortalised in his Beatles tune Martha My Dear, while one figure bears a resemblance to the Fab Four's roadie Mal Evans.
There is also a musical frog which could be a nod to Sir Paul's top three hit, We All Stand Together with The Frog Chorus.
The song which accompanies the "LoveLinda" campaign ad is a re-recorded version of his song Heart Of The Country, which appeared on 1971 album Ram.

When Lerner was growing up on her aunt and uncle's California farm, she fed the cows every morning, locked them in the barn at night and loaded and unloaded hay. "Farming is an enormous amount of hard work," she says. But she enjoyed watching the cows graze under the pear trees. "I've always been a country mouse."
Yet Lerner left the farm to get her graduate degree in computer science, and in 1984 she cofounded Cisco Systems with then-husband Leonard Bosack. Forced to leave the company six years later, she sold off her holdings for tens of millions of dollars. And while her subsequent ventures succeeded, something was missing. "I looked at my life in the city one day and said, 'I've had enough.' "
In 1996, Lerner purchased Ayrshire Farm (ayrshirefarm.com), an 800-acre property in Virginia that was in total disrepair. "Luckily I found a great farm manager," she says. He helped her rebuild the infrastructure and guided her as she developed a certified organic and humane farm. Recalling her childhood experiences on the family farm, Lerner says, "The cows were nice, and we were nice. It never occurred to us to torture them."
Her biggest challenge today is contending with the "huge cartel factory farms" that dominate Virginia agriculture. So she focuses on heirloom fruits and vegetables, and rare animal breeds. Ayrshire now has annual sales of about $2.8 million. "Once you get the bug about being on the land," Lerner says, "it's sort of a hokey word, but it's stewardship."

The leading subject association for all teachers of geography
Making provision for gifted and talented pupils, and more recently personalised learning, have become important elements of government education policy. Jane Ferretti (University of Sheffield) provides some background information about the development of these policies and looks at some issues they raise. She suggests ways in which PGCE Tutors might highlight issues to do with identification of 'gifted' geographers and ways for teachers to challenge the 'most able'.
Meeting the needs of the 'most able' pupils is no longer considered to be an optional extra but something that all teachers are required to do as a matter of equity. Academically able pupils, as with all pupils, 'have a right to an education that is suited to their particular needs and abilities. They need to be presented with work that challenges, stretches and excites them on a daily basis, in an environment that celebrates excellence and is supportive.' (DfES, 2005)
Since 1997 when the new government put Gifted and Talented firmly on their education agenda with the establishment of the Gifted and Talented Advisory Group (GTAG), teachers have been expected to identify and provide challenges for this group of pupils. More recently the 2005 White Paper, Higher Standards: Better Schools for All, set out the Government's ambition that every pupil - gifted and talented, struggling or average - should have the right to personalised support to reach the limits of their capability (DfES, 2005).
In line with the White Paper, the new QTS standards (TDA, 2007) no longer make specific reference to 'the more able' but instead refer to personalised learning and the need to provide opportunities for all learners to achieve their potential. The following quotation, however, emphasises the Government's continued support of Gifted and Talented initiatives:
'It is inconceivable that a school can claim to be taking forward the personalisation agenda seriously without having a robust approach to gifted and talented education.'
(Rt Hon. Jacqui Smith MP, Minister of State, Schools and 14–19 Learners, January 2006)
The key questions that should be considered when introducing PGCE geography students to working with gifted and talented learners are:
Since the establishment of GTAG in 1997 there have been a wide range of government initiatives, the most significant being:
Excellence in Cities (EiC) was launched in 1999 as an attempt to put extra funding into schools in the most disadvantaged areas of the country. Initially only large urban areas were included but later other areas of under-achievement and poverty, not in the main conurbations, were also designated as EiC areas. Substantial amounts of funding were made available to schools and targeted at specific initiatives including Learning Mentor Schemes, Learning Support Units in schools, City Technology Colleges and of course Gifted and Talented provision. At first only secondary schools were included but later primary schools also became eligible for funding. EiC eventually included 1,300 maintained secondary schools in 58 local education authorities.
In terms of Gifted and Talented pupils, EiC schools were expected to:
When OFSTED reported on Excellence in Cities in 2005 they found provision for gifted and talented pupils was mostly good with some excellent practice and that the initiative had been promoted and developed well in a large majority of schools they visited. (OFSTED 2005)
Although EiC was only available to some schools and some Education Authorities, many others followed the same guidelines, developed a gifted and talented policy, appointed a co-ordinator and began to identify and make provision for the most able.
The Education White Paper: Higher Standards, Better Schools for All, which was published in October 2005, makes it clear that 'the Government's ambition is that every pupil, gifted and talented, struggling or average should have the right personalised support to reach the limits of their capability. For gifted and talented pupils, this means better stretch and challenge in every classroom and in every school with opportunities to further their particular talents outside school at a local and national level.' (DfES, 2005)
Beyond this the White Paper emphasises that more able pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds should have particular support. The commitments outlined in the White Paper are:
Schools themselves are expected: to have an agreed process for identifying gifted and talented pupils, using both quantitative and qualitative methods, and to ensure that staff understand and use it; keep accurate records; to review the cohort regularly and to evaluate their own performance using the National Quality Standards in Gifted and Talented Education (available in draft form here).
In 2006 EiC funding ended, however by that time most schools, within EiC areas and beyond, had developed strategies for identifying their most able pupils and beginning to address their needs. It was hoped that these initiatives would have become embedded in schools and that Education Authorities were fulfilling their responsibilities to provide and evaluate provision for the most able.
From September 2006 all secondary schools were required to indicate which of their pupils were gifted and talented in their School Census return, and to update this each term. This will be extended to Primary Schools in 2007. Schools were also encouraged to register eligible students with NAGTY (see below). Data from the School Census return is being used to compile the National Register as outlined in the White Paper which aims to include the country's top 5% of students and will be used to track these students through school and into Higher Education.

Aimhigher is a national programme run by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) with support from the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DfCSF) which aims to widen participation in higher education by raising aspirations and developing abilities of people from under-represented groups in Higher Education. It is part of the broad widening participation initiative and is significant in that this provides funding in schools, some of which may be focused on gifted pupils.

NAGTY was established in 2002 at Warwick University and is a government funded initiative which offers support to the most able 5% of the school population and their teachers and parents. NAGTY runs weekend courses and summer schools for students in many subjects, including geography, at universities and Field Studies centres across the country, and provides online activities and forums. It also offers CPD for teachers, including a PGCE+ programme and it is involved in research into Gifted and Talented provision. In 2006 NAGTY took on the co-ordination of the National Register for gifted and talented students. Responsibility for the National Programme for Gifted and Talented Education, however, has now being taken forward by the CfBT Education Trust. Access to resources produced through the NAGTY Professional Academy are available from this website.

Since 2007 the management of the National Programme for Gifted and Talented Education has been 'outsourced' by the (DfCSF) and is now the responsibility of CfBT. They have renamed the programme Young, Gifted & Talented (YG&T) and established nine excellence hubs, led by higher education institutions, which will focus on outreach provision to gifted and talented learners for example master classes, non-residential summer schools, specialist subject activities and blended/online learning across the school year.

Teachers need a range of strategies to encourage the 'most able' to work to their full potential. One way to address this issue is for teachers to differentiate more effectively, particularly for their higher achieving pupils. Differentiation needs to go beyond simply providing a task sheet which has extra questions for those who finish first and teachers need to plan ways in which to intervene to enable gifted pupils to reach their potential. It is clear that simply adding 'more of the same' as an extension exercise at the end of a work sheet is not appropriate to challenge these pupils who may need much less practice to acquire skills or understand concepts. Exercises which ask for yet more examples of using six figure grid references will not challenge those who can do it first time round. These pupils do not want, or need, to be given more work simply to keep them quiet while others catch up.

It's Good To Gather Moss: A Young Artist On Missing 'Home'
British singer-songwriter Dan Croll was barely out of his performing arts college when he won a national songwriting award and a sit-down meeting with none other than Paul McCartney. The 23-year-old goes on the road this month, playing songs from his debut album, Sweet Disarray — but before taking off, he sat down with NPR's Audie Cornish to talk about one song that means a lot to him. It's called "Home," and he says it was inspired by his days as a broke student, coming home after an ill-advised and ill-prepared-for winter weekend getaway to Berlin. Hear their conversation at the audio link.

Oh Brother!: A Nico and Tugger Tale by Kimberly Sentek is a picture book about two dogs becoming brothers. The story is told first from the perspective of Nico, who is initially an only dog. The story is then told from the perspective of the new puppy, Tugger.
This book is a great book for kids that have newly become siblings, especially ages 3 to 7. Since it tells the story of them slowly becoming friends and enjoying being brothers, it can also be a good book to read with siblings that are having trouble getting along. Additionally, the style of telling the same story from both Nico and Tugger's perspectives helps kids learn to look at situations from multiple perspectives and better understand other's perspectives.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free to review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Thank you for visiting the Washington Tree Fruit Research Commission's website. Since 1969, we've been supporting researchers in their efforts to explore ways to improve fruit storage, decrease insect effects on fruit and grow better fruit which will increase the revenues of the growers of Washington State.
In response to increasing industry concerns about meeting Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for pesticides in foreign markets, the WTFRC initiated studies in 2011 in apple and cherry to develop some residue data for commonly used pesticides to help Washington growers make more informed choices about their spray programs. The WTFRC Internal Program recently completed 2015 studies in cherry and apple which included several newly registered insecticides, acaricides, and fungicides. The results of those studies are available below, as well as similar reports from previous years on apple and cherry; for more information on MRLs, please consult the Northwest Horticultural Council website www.nwhort.org.

I was searching the web for a kitty for my mom about a year and a half ago, when I came across a picture of "Blackie." I instantly fell in love. She was the sweetest little kitty I ever saw. Even though black cats have an awful reputation and people have all sorts of superstitious misconceptions about them, I knew I had to meet her in person.
I went down to the shelter almost immediately, thinking she's be swept up in a second. However, when I arrived, I found out that she'd been sitting in the shelter waiting for someone to adopt her for awhile (even though she was still a kitten at 9 months old), but the volunteer told me black cats spend more time in shelters than any other color of cat and it wasn't unusual.
When the volunteer brought her to me in the visitation room, she ran right over and gave me hugs and cuddles. She sat on my lap and played with the strings on my purse for the next half hour, purring away.

Generally most plants grow better in acidic soil but there are some plants that prefer alkaline soil to acidic soil and are therefore called high alkaline plants. You can use water from your alkaline water ionizer to water and care for these plants. Acacia is a high alkaline plant that is drerived from areas where the soil has strong alkalinity, and cabbage is also high in alkalinity. Other well-known high alkalinity plants include cauliflower, celery, geraniums and plants that are often found in the Mediterranean regiion.
Certain Trees and Shrubs
Trees are not only lovely to look at in front of the home but they are also perennials, which means they can last at least two years. Certain kinds of trees do well in alkaline soil and they include cedar elm trees, holly trees, olive trees, and Asian persimmon trees. Shrubs add excellent curb appeal to your lawn and the high alkaline shrubs include Japanese quince, littleleaf boxwood, feathery cassia and lavender.
Hydrangeas are large flowers that have a pink or blue color and these flowers are a favorite among gardeners who enjoy colorful flowers in the yard or in front of the house. What you may not know about hydrangeas is that they thrive in alkaline soil so you can adjust the pH soil with alkaline water when you plant hydrangeas.
Thyme is a favored herb by chefs and home cooks alike, and if you have an alkaline water ionizer at home, you should plant thyme in your yard because thyme likes alkaline soil. When you plant fresh thyme, you will always have some on hand and you save money on store-bought thyme in a container that is not as pungent as fresh thyme.
Like thyme, oregano grows well in alkaline soil and it grows up to 12 inches tall. You can use oregano in tomato-based dishes, cream sauces, soups and on roasted or grilled meats and fish. Oregano is also a good substitute for salt if you are a diabetic who just switched to a low-sodium alkaline diet.
Ginger is a herb that is used in most Asian and African dishes and you can even make tea with it. What you may not know about ginger is that it has a pH of 6.5, which is slightly below alkaline but you can use alkaline water to adjust the soil for planting ginger so that it reaches an alkaline state. Ginger has medicinal properties and it has a pungent flavor to it.
Nature offers flowers and vegetable plants for our enjoyment and healing, and this is especially true with alkaline-friendly plants. With your alkaline water ionizer, you have the ability to grow these plants successfully and reap a bounty for you and the family. If this is your first time growing plants, have a gardener come and help you get started and you can also read books on gardening with high alkaline plants.

Morbid Angel has an incredible underground history, and one of the most dedicated fan bases around the globe. This death metal group, truly stands out for rebelling against any norms, and not following any trends. And they tend to push the boundaries and test waters to this very day. The band's new album, "Illud Divinum Insanus," is a prime example of that.
Morbid Angel formed back in 1984 in Tampa, Florida, played with various line ups, out of which only Trey Azagthoth remains a continuous member. The guitarist pursues his vision of excellence through chaos, and his playing simply speaks for itself. After several demos, and one unreleased album, the group struck gold with "Altars of Madness" in 1989. Released on Earache, it was an instant classic. The album re-defined the underground standards, and is still spoken of very highly. At the time the group consisted of David Vincent on bass and vocals, Trey Azagthoth on guitar, Richard Brunelle on guitar, and Pete Sandoval on drums. Out of this "classic" line up, only Azagthoth and Vincent are still in the band today.
Morbid Angel continued to make extreme albums in the 90s, but as the years went by the classic line up started to deteriorate. Eventually, even singer David Vincent left suddenly in 1995. He was replaced by Steve Tucker for three albums. Steve Tucker left and re-joined the band on several occasions, but finally quit in 2004. David Vincent was persuaded to return to front Morbid Angel for a few shows, surprised by the intense response, he re-joined the band for good. Recently, Pete Sandoval, experienced some health problems, and was unable to perform or tour with the band. He was replaced by Tim Yeung, and additional guitar duties were assigned to Destructor.
In 2011, the revitalized line up made the, "Illud Divinum Insanus," album. And as with majority of the Morbid Angel's records, it's a controversial release. The band pursued heavy industrial influences, which did not always fare well with the hardcore fan base. The album itself, is quite adventurous, and reaching far beyond what the usual expectations are. The fans however remain divided on the issue.
The band of course will continue to progress on their own terms. Vocalist/bassist, David Vincent, talks about his return into the Morbid Angel fold, and personal self-discoveries.
David, not too many people know what caused you to leave the band back in 1995. So, what really happened?
David Vincent: I've had some problems that I had to work through. I don't like looking back. That was then, and I have a much better attitude right now.
I've known you for a while, and I know someone like you does not give up music easily. So, what did you do musically while away from the band?
No, of course not. I did a lot of soundtrack stuff, and some video games stuff. I was working and collaborating with some other people, in some different kinds of music. But, it was still music, I was always involved in something.
David Vincent who left Morbid Angel in 1995, and David Vincent in 2012, is that still the same person?
Same person, more evolved. I don't know how to explain this other than (pauses). We have choices that we make in life, and there were some choices that I was making at that time, which were not useful for me. It got to the point, that the person that I saw in the mirror, I didn't like. I had to separate things, and find my way.
Like a cleansing process?
Well, that's a word that could be used, yeah. But I would call it a renewal.
A change in the life philosophy?
I wouldn't call it a change in the life philosophy. there was a change in my attitude, and how I represented things to myself. And how I subsequently related to those things. And how I turned things that were very negative inside myself, as opposed to welcoming them.
So, you certainly had a lot of time to reflect on your life, and probably on what you've achieved with the band during your stay. When you look back, what do you think of?
I'm actually very proud of all the accomplishments. The whole band is still together, and we've done a lot. And I'm proud of all that. There was a lot of hard work. It's really forging a path, through the forest, where there was really no path. We made a path. And to that end, I think it's a really positive thing. I feel fortunate that I've had the opportunity to do some of the things. Not everybody has the chance to these things. We had a very good team, you know, talented musicians, very good management, some good record companies/business relations. And that's what it takes. It takes all of these things. We were able to make some great videos. Anything that has to do with the idea of expression, and I know, people would love to do these things. But, it costs lots and lots of money, and when you have partners that are able to open doors for you, and allow you these avenues for creativity, that's a wonderful thing.
You went from an underground demo band to be on major label, at one point, which is a great accomplishment.
Some of that is our of sort of "Stick-to-it," and being confident in what we do. I can't dismiss that fact the we did have a really good team in place, and everybody worked very hard. It wasn't just us. It was our manager, it was our crew, our producers, our record company, everyone.
Was there a specific event that made you want to return to Morbid Angel?
You know, it was interesting. We were just gonna do a few shows. There was no plan for anything beyond that, and things just clicked. It went over really well, and I was a little floored by the response. I've been away from the band for a while, and it was humbling. It was a humbling experience.
How long did you play live before deciding it was time to record?
It took a lot longer then what we had, because it went from doing a couple of shows into several years of touring. The booking agents were going crazy, "Oh, Vincent is back." And the next thing we knew, all of these festivals were asking us to play, and all of these doors were opening for us. Our management said that we should do this, and we did. It took a while, until obviously, the management negotiated with different record labels. The business had change quite a bit since, so there were a lot of factors.
What approach did you take with the last record?
I don't know if it's really approach. I mean, there's a lot of creativity in this outfit. Trey had some really interesting new ideas, and I was like, "This feels really different and really fresh." So, I wanted to do it, I was very much into what he was writing.
The new album takes a very bold approach, but then again Morbid Angel is known for taking such left turns.
I believe this! This is my belief too. Not everyone agrees, and they would probably like something that would sound like a greatest hits record, but we have those already. That's not any new ground.
What new influences came into play this time around?
I would say for myself, I really turned inward. For my contributions to the record, I blocked out everything, and I sort of went secluded. I would write one day, and go and do it the next. If I found myself, sort of stumbling, or if it wasn't flowing, I'd move to something else. I would not even want to think about it, I just wanted to feel it. And, I think Trey pretty much did the same thing. He spent a lot of time just working and creating the weird things. It came out different, not all together different. We've always had differences in our albums, but there is just more of it on this record. We started with, as opposed to hiding it in the last couple tracks, or little interludes.
Do you think the public has yet caught up to what this album is all about?
I think it's still growing, and people tell me this every night. Listen, there were a lot of people who, when we put out "Blessed" after 'Altars," and the first song "Fall From" starts with a slow riff, and immediately, everyone said, "Oh, they slowed down." And I'm like, "The fast stuff on that album is the fastest than anything we've done since." But people, they hear one moment of something, and they make up their minds based on that alone. Now the album is considered a classic. And the same thing happened when we did "Covenant" came out, and "God of Emptiness" came out, and people were very divided about that. Again, it's something that we can't get away not playing, we have to play that song.
Looks like everyone has their favorites, right?
Yeah, some people tend to gravitate towards one record, and not the other. We're just creative people. We put stuff out there, and things come and go. And it's up to the people to decide what they think about it. At that point, my job is finished.
From the artistic point of view, what does the new album mean to you?
What does it mean to me? I mean, it means a lot of different things to me. There are a lot of varied emotions, and they're all strong.
I think many fans are surprised not to find Pete Sandoval in the current line up. What happened to him?
Pete had some medical challenges, and he couldn't play. When we got Tim to do the record, it was a deal, where not only was he going to be on the album, but he would be the touring drummer. By the way, he's doing an incredible job. The guy is a very talented drummer, and I'm pleased that our schedules worked in such a way that he was able to do the record, and the subsequent tour.
When I go the extreme metal shows nowadays, I barely know the audiences. It seems like the scene completely turned around, yet the new fans remain very committed. Keeping that in mind. Do you see the returns of your hard work in the 80s and 90s?
Well, things go in waves. I'm someone who looks at staff, not as a genre. I mean, I like a lot of different kinds of bands. I see that things in the minds of many listeners, many of the fans, are very... There are subcategories, where someone would say, "I really like technical death metal, but I don't like that some of that progressive stuff or I don't like black metal, or so." They have these little areas they say they really like, or don't like at all. I like it all. I just like good music. I don't care what the classification of the music is.
It brings me back to some of the reviews of the new album, when I hear people describe it as "unlistenable," I can't help but to laugh. I mean, there are chord progressions, there are melodies, so it can't be considered unlistenable. I mean, I've heard things that are truly unlistenable in my life, but this new album is not among them.
Well, I agree, but then again, when my job is done, it's up to the people to decide what they think of it. If that's what they think then OK. They should have an opinion. I mean, I have my opinions too.
At this point in the game, what are your goals as a band?
I got to the point, where I had done so much, and this morning when I got up, I was celebrating because I got to be me again for another day.

Hotel LaGuardia: Aiports Face a Rise in Stranded Passengers
The winter has not been kind to travelers, particularly at Greater New York's major airports.
The post-Christmas blizzard that crippled New York City also grounded planes at the three big airports in the region and left travelers stranded for days. Even the more benign snowstorm earlier this month forced the cancellation of more than 1,700 flights in and out of the New York area, about the half the total flights on a normal day. And another snowstorm is headed to the region Thursday night, a recipe for more travel headaches.
While flight cancellations due to weather are nothing new, the fallout from snow snafus is more pronounced than ever.
As WSJ's Scott McCartney explains in The Middle Seat column, airlines are now quicker to cancel flights over bad weather and rebooking is difficult because airlines are running at capacity. McCartney looks at what airports are doing to help when they become hotels of last resort for stranded passengers, including Greater New York's airports:
At many airports, paramedics are on call for medical care; parking-lot buses are deployed to move people between terminals or to hotels. Among the amenities big airports now routinely stock: cots, blankets, diapers, baby formula, eye masks, prepaid phone cards, ear plugs, deodorant and shampoo. For the second big snowstorm in New York this winter, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey started handing out free WiFi cards to stranded customers at New York City's three major airports so travelers could check their flight status online at airline websites.
But perchance to sleep? At New York's LaGuardia Airport, people stranded in the US Airways and Delta terminals are invited to ride buses to the central terminal, where a sleeping area is set up with cots and security guards. DFW establishes quiet zones for cots where music and paging announcements are muted and lights are dimmed.
And when ash clouds shut down European skies last spring, the Port Authority bused Newark stranded passengers to showers in "snow dorms" built for plow drivers and trucked in portable showers for passengers marooned at Kennedy International Airport.
"It's not the same as staying at the Waldorf. But people were so grateful after three or four days of washing in a bathroom sink," said Susan Baer, Port Authority aviation director.
Read McCartney's full column for a list of strategies stranded travelers can use to make the best of their situation.

Dragon Eye
Dragon Eye was developed by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) for use by the US Marine Corps dismounted light troops to provide tactical reconnaissance and surveillance. As part of a full and open industry-wide competition, AV was selected to optimize the design for enhanced manufacturability and reliability. In November, 2003, following extensive field evaluations and competitive down-select by the customer, AV was awarded a 5-year, sole-supplier manufacturing contract for Dragon Eye.
The system operates autonomously, requires minimum training and captures either color, low-light black and white or infrared video. A bungee cord method is employed to provide rapid launch and ascent, and Dragon Eye is recovered by a conventional glide-slope approach landing. Dragon Eye is currently being manufactured by AV's UAS group, and is being used by the USMC for light infantry, dismounted, and urban warfare.

"Aladdin" was born in the middle of the Disney Renaissance, and its creation brought forth a unique perspective to a time where Disney was attempting to breathe new life into its animated films. The story centers on Aladdin (Scott Weinger) and a beautiful princess named Jasmine (Linda Larkin), whose lives are joined by fate and their mutual desire for freedom.
"Aladdin" deals a lot with the theme of identity and the manipulation of identity. When we first meet Aladdin and Jasmine, their identities are solidly established – she is a beautiful and misunderstood princess, and he is a common street rat who is demeaned by the more privileged members of society. When the couple meets for the first time, Aladdin believes Jasmine to be another commoner. They escape to Aladdin's humble abode and realize that they are both trapped by circumstance and status…that is, until he is captured and discovers she is a princess.
Aladdin realizes he has feelings for Princess Jasmine, but he is forced to acknowledge that by law, he is not worthy of her. Later, Aladdin makes a wish that he can be a prince so he can be with Jasmine because he has fallen in love with her, and after a rough initiation, he finally wins her heart. Their tender romance is interrupted when Jafar (Jonathan Freeman) reveals Aladdin's true identity to Jasmine and her father. When all is said and done, the Sultan recognizes Aladdin's courage and realizes the strength of Aladdin and Jasmine's love and thus he decrees that Aladdin and Jasmine may marry, and Aladdin's true identity is accepted.
One of the underlying themes of Aladdin is connected to three significant characters: Aladdin, Princess Jasmine, and the Genie. The common relationship which intertwines this triad of characters is that the essence of what they each desire to achieve is their own perception of freedom...and ironically, the fate of all three characters is dependent on the choices that their counterparts make.
Aladdin is a common street rat who dreams of being something more than what life has defined him to be. Jasmine is a beautiful princess who wants nothing more than to be free from her gilded cage so she can have the chance to find love instead of submitting to an arranged marriage. The Genie possesses all the power of the cosmos and yet he is shackled by that same power and he wants nothing more than to be liberated from it. When Aladdin releases the Genie from the lamp, he vows to use his final wish to gain the Genie's freedom. The Genie, in turn, uses his power to aid Aladdin in winning the heart of the beautiful Princess Jasmine. Ultimately, the Genie gives Aladdin the choice of having the "Prince Ali" identity restored to him. Although it meant possibly losing his chance to win Jasmine's heart, Aladdin honors his vow to free the Genie, and Aladdin and Jasmine finally able to be together with their true identities restored.
Aladdin is a character with a dual identity: he is a common street rat and he is a prince. But do these two facets of Aladdin's character make up his whole identity? The answer is a solid and resounding no. Aladdin is the most realistically human in terms of masculine characters in the Disney animated canon. He is a character who is borne into unfortunate circumstances…who is demeaned by the higher shades of society…and whose desperate wish is to be something greater than what he is.
What Aladdin doesn't realize is although he may initially appear insignificant and he disguises his true identity to win Jasmine's heart, he possesses deeper qualities which make him a truly worthy character, even when he is a street rat. He expresses compassion to people who are suffering more than he is. He offers a beggar child some bread (and as a result went hungry himself). He ultimately keeps his promise to grant the Genie's freedom (even though it meant potentially sacrificing his chance to be with Jasmine.) He also possesses a courageous heart. He rescues Princess Jasmine three different times, he faces Jafar twice, and he is willing to fight for what he wants.
Princess Jasmine stands out as one of the strongest and most independent female characters that Disney has created to date. While the majority of other Disney ladies (at least up to that point) have relied on their respective male counterparts to rescue them, Jasmine ultimately rescues herself from the shackles that bind her to her royal duty. She flees after a confrontation with her father and when she meets Aladdin, part of their attraction originates from the fact that they are both "trapped" by their individual circumstances and they desire something more than what life has rendered them. When she returns to the palace and realizes she has been promised to "Prince Ali" who is really Aladdin in disguise, she boldly refuses to consider his suit for her. She doesn't love "Prince Ali", she loves Aladdin, and it is only when Aladdin's true identity is restored that Jasmine gives her heart to him. Even when Jafar has her as his prisoner, she uses her intelligence and strength to trick him so Aladdin can get the Genie's lamp. In the end, Jasmine is able to choose who she wants to marry based on her own heart without the stringent mandate of law dictating her.
While not as highly acclaimed as "Beauty and the Beast" in the preceding year, "Aladdin" has garnered its own prestige and praise. In 1993, "Aladdin" received an Oscar for Best Musical Score and Best Song (A Whole New World) for Alan Menken and Tim Rice. Aladdin also won a Golden Globe award for Best Original Score and Best Original Song (A Whole New World) for Alan Menken and Tim Rice, as well as a special award for Robin Williams for his vocal work.
"Aladdin" creates a unique identity in the Disney genre. Instead of focusing on the Disney "formula" of a prince and a princess falling in love instantly, Aladdin illustrated two people from vastly different social classes finding love, recognizing the strength of their love, and fighting for it. The casting choices strike the perfect balance between romance and comedy, particularly in the choice of Robin Williams as the Genie. His comedic style was a perfect marriage for an animated character and it made the Genie truly memorable. These are only a few reasons while Aladdin is a worthy addition to any Disney collection.

Film producer Michael Uslan is typically known for being one of the men behind the production of every "Batman" film which has hit the silver screen since 1989 as well as a general DC Comics connected fellow. Besides producing almost all of Batman's films (including the animated "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm"), he's produced the two "Swamp Thing" films (and the TV series) as well as "Catwoman" and other DC Entertainment film efforts. His credits also include creating the producing the 1980's cartoon series "Dinosaucers" and the 1990's animated series, "Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?" Yet before all that he was a comic book writer in the mid-1970's, and he's recently been returning to his roots.
His biggest story was the six part "Archie marries Veronica" story from 2009, which saw "Archie Comics" crack the top of the comic sales charts for the first time in decades and spawned a successful spin off magazine, "Life with Archie". As revealed to Comic Book Resources earlier this afternoon, Michael Uslan will return to Archie Comics' for a year long run on the title character's long running spin off series, "Betty & Veronica". Following the line wide credo by Archie Comics CEO Jonathan Goldwater, Uslan's intention for his run "was about shaking up the dynamics in Riverdale and pushing the envelope a little bit. We wanted to do something that could impact Betty, Veronica and all the characters in a new way". To this end, he wil have the titular heroines leave Riverdale for a foreign exchange student program and explore other countries, as well as life without fighting over Archie. This places the iconic heroines in new locations as well as gives Uslan a chance to depict the rest of the cast's reactions to losing them as Riverdale fixtures for a while. Uslan also promises two new characters who will naturally be part of the exchange to Riverdale; a girl from India and a girl from France.
The artist for the series will be Dan Parent, who writes and/or draws many of the other comics throughout the line, such as "Archie Comics" and "Kevin Keller" (who he also created). Although not a permanent thing or a "crossover", the effects of this storyline will bleed into some of the other comics throughout the line. The story begins in this month's 272nd issue, and one wonders how much it will spike sales for the long running publisher. While Archie himself was created in 1941, it is easy to forget that his iconic leading ladies have been featured in their own spin off comic since 1950 (when it was called, "Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica"). The spin-off was relaunched in 1987 with a fresh number one issue and dropping "Archie's Girls" from the title for the sake of progress. Now for the first time, the girls will be apart from Archie and living some life on their own, which continues the bold choices "Archie Comics" has made lately.

Google introduced the now-renowned Google Glass with some fanfare in late 2012. The product was issued in a beta test with limited availability. There were actually no lenses in the frame, but it was basically a micro computer, that included a screen over theright eye and a camera, and was worn as eyeglasses. Although it was functional it was considered as unnattractive and that may be about to change as Google prepares to make Glass avaialable to everyone.
At the same time there are several efforts underway in Toronto to promote the adoption of the wearable device, and to make Toronto into one of the epicenters for wearable technology.
As the company works to change the perception, Toronto University professor, Steve Mann, sees the move as one in the right direction. Mann has been working in the field of wearable computing since the 1970s, and has developed his own version of computerized glasses, although they did not include Internet access, and was developed primarily for enhancing vision.
He expects to see big changes with Google Glass as the company expands efforts to make it popular enough for everyone to want to wear them. They are introducing glasses with 4 styles of prescription frames in different colors and also 2 choices styles for sunglasses.
It is hoped that the glasses will become mainstream, but before we get there, there are several issues that should be addressed. Professor Mann is organizing a conference to be held in June entitled
"Social implications of wearable computing and augmediated reality." where concerns will be discussed.
Several other Toronto residents, including University of Toronto Technical Institute researcher Isabel Pedersen sees the change as being significant.
Along with the introduction of stylish designer frames for Google glass, a Toronto area meet-up group organized by technology writer Tom Emrich, who also works in wearable computing, is holding an inauguration meet-up entitled "Wearable Wednesday" where participants gather to learn more discuss, and celebrate the new technology.
One of the objectives is to make Toronto one of the most glass friendly cities on the planet and initiatives are already underway as surgeons in St. Michael's Hospital are about to begin conduct testing of the use of Glass in the operating rooms.

OMG — Eccentric country legend Willie Nelson has taken a pair of shears to his famous locks!
The redhead's waist-length pigtails have long been one of the singer-songwriter's signature features, but spokeswoman Elaine Schock says Nelson, 77, got his hair cut while on vacation in Hawaii last week.
Schock reckons the star just got tired of maintaining the long look. Willie debut his new short 'do during a performance with his son Micah Nelson's band, The Reflectacles, at a bar in Maui last Saturday night.
