I wouldn't mind a sequel at all, provided that it was about someone else than Manny. The world of GF is so deep and intriguing that it's a downright shame no other stories have been set there. We only get to see a small portion of the Land of the Dead and there's so much potential for more. Even if you decided to use the exact same locations, there's still room for a great story.
I think someone started a fanfic about one of Hector's goons and what happened to him after Manny defeated his boss. I think that could be an excellent starting point for a game because it would let us see things from a different perspective and there's lots of potential for an interesting story and character development. Why was this person working for Hector? Maybe he just died and just wanted a job, not knowing what he was getting himself into. What will he do now that Hector is down? Will some other crime boss try to step up and take Hector's place? Will the corruption come back? What will the LSA do? Include a cast of new characters, cameos from some old faces (Eva, Maximino, Membrillo, Toto etc.), some plots twists and an intriguing plot about crime and corruption and you've got another brilliant game at your hands.
Even if it sucked, I don't see how it could ever ruin the brilliance of the original in any way.

It's that time of year again to start getting your daughter back into the "swing" of things. With the season right around the corner I have opened up more days and more sessions. I am either offering pitching lessons at The Texas Cages in Alvin, League city sportsplex or in Santa Fe Texas. I believe that no age is too soon to begin your daughter in pitching lessons and the sooner they start the quicker they will be able to perform in a game. I specialize in proper spin and form techniques. I believe in breaking down each and every form that a pitcher needs to go through in order to make sure she is safe and does not injure herself. Too often i see pitchers getting rushed into multiple different pitches before they are ready and end up injuring themselves. My number one concern is the safety of all the girls. If this fits your criteria please feel free to call, text or email me.

The Lee County Cell Dog program has been visiting Lehigh Senior High School since January of 2016. Since their initial visit, the students have fallen in love with each dog and have learned some very valuable skills. During the first visit, the students became familiar with the dogs, the program and the amazing police officers that volunteer their time for this program. For many of our students, this was their first positive interaction with a dog! On the dog's second visit, our students learned important dog safety and how to approach a dog. This life skill is incredibly important for our students as sadly stray dogs are far too common in our city. The most recent visit from the cell dog program proved to be the most amazing though. Each student prepared a paragraph the previous day about their plans for Spring Break and read their paragraph individually to the dogs. Many of our students, who have significant cognitive disabilities, have anxiety and low self-esteem when it comes to reading. That anxiety was lifted however when they were given the opportunity to read to an adorable puppy. For once, our students smiled from ear to ear as they read out loud!
Thank you,

Dear Sherriff Scott,
I am the assistant principal at Gulf Elementary in Cape Coral. When you work as an educator or in law enforcement there are things we experience that give us a unique glimpse into human nature. Sometimes humanity disappoints us, but other times we feel very fortunate to get a glimpse into how generous and kind people can be when they are supported by a caring community. At our school, we were lucky enough to see the capacity of our community's compassion when Lee County Sherriff deputies brought the cell dogs to visit.
The first time they came to support a classroom of students with communication challenges, I watched the reactions on the students' faces as they saw the dogs and the sheriffs entering the room. Most of the students eagerly approached the dogs and began to talk to the sheriffs. They shared stories about their dogs and asked many questions. But one little boy was very hesitant to join the group. It surprised me because knowing him, I thought he would be most excited about the dogs. A few minutes later, I noticed it wasn't the dogs he was reluctant to be near it was the deputies. He seemed mistrustful of them and didn't even want to make eye contact. Slowly and skillfully, the deputies began to share information about the dogs. They were sure to include the student, but did not force him to talk. Somehow, by the end of the visit, the student was eagerly asking questions about the dogs and about the deputies' jobs and even followed them out of the classroom. When it was time to leave, he didn't want them to go. It was really touching to think that this one visit might have changed this student's impression of the deputies and created an opportunity for him to have a positive exchange with members of law enforcement.
Another time they came to our school, they worked with our Teen Trendsetters Club. This club is a literacy initiative of the Barbara Bush Foundation which pairs up high school students with struggling readers at our school. Imagine the delight of a struggling reader who not only has the support of a high school mentor but a happy, eager dog ready to listen to them read their book and know that our community cares if they become strong readers. In an instant, students who really have to work hard to read and were not confident in their ability to read aloud were very excited when it was their turn to read to the dogs.
As word of the cell dogs spread throughout our school, our National Elementary Honor Society students decided to get involved and have a dog food drive to donate to the cell dog program. Many donations came in and the students were excited to know that they were contributing to the program.
To me, this is what makes a community an extraordinary place! The deputies and their dogs teamed up with our educators to enrich the lives of children. Our Honor Society children experienced the feeling of making a positive impact in their community, our struggling students were given encouragement to read with confidence despite their difficulties, and a little boy had a positive experience with the deputies that might have changed his perspective on law enforcement that he will keep with him throughout his life.
When the deputies come to our school with their dogs, I can see our community at its best. I am thankful to the Lee County Sherriff, for having the wisdom to know the value and rippling impact of providing the time, effort and guidance so a prisoner needing a purpose could train a dog with nobody to love, who goes out into the community and touches the hearts of our most vulnerable citizens.
I want to thank you for supporting this amazing program that connects and supports our community in such a beautiful way!

Dear Deputy Dunn,
We can't thank you enough for visiting our school and sharing your amazing program with us! What a tremendous program that gives back to so many different facets of the community! The students are still talking about it and are honored to have collected items that benefit your program! We actually have some additional donations that were dropped off after your presentation. I am happy to drop them off somewhere for you, let me know. Please feel free to come and visit anytime and share with Deputy Jones and Deputy Hawkins, as well.
Have a wonderful weekend,

Dear Sheriff Scott,
I wanted to say thank you on behalf of Tanglewood Elementary School for your cell dog program. Your officers and their dogs have visited our school several times over the last few months and have made a tremendous impact on student learning and achievement. Every child is unique in their learning and what motivates them to do their best but all of our students give reading their all when your officers visit. We also have a student that has suffered the loss of his father and your officers not only trained him on proper animal safety but allowed him to rotate classrooms with them and treat him as a fellow k9 handler. He is a different child when your officers visit; happy and excited to learn! Further, our reading scores are soaring due to the increased time our students are spending reading to your cell dogs. This is a fabulous program that I hope can continue next school year. Every visit more teachers ask to become involved. I am truly grateful for the time your officers spend with our students.
Best Regards,
Sherri Wipf

Peppers at 10, which seems low.
NCAA tournament
Michigan And The Bracket Matrix
It's the last day of February. Selection Sunday is 13 days away. While I constantly keep tabs on the Bracket Matrix throughout the winter, doing so now carries even more excitement because who is in the Matrix now might finally resemble who actually makes the field [Ed-M: and Michigan's in it!].
Mock brackets throughout most of January and February are so fluid that it's hard to put a ton of stock in them, other than to guage where exactly certain teams are on the pecking order at that moment in time. Now grabbing a spot in the Matrix means you could be a win or two away from netting an actual bid. As far as interest from the mock crowd goes, this is the time to be peaking. And while our Michigan Wolverines still have some work to do to get into the actual tournament they and their profile are grabbing people's attention at the right time. Let's take a look.
Right now, Michigan sits with 12 of 75 votes among the mock bracketology crowd. That number obviously is a low one but it represents major progress on two fronts. One, it's the most mock votes the Wolverines have had at any time this season. At the beginning of each of the last two weeks they had peaked with seven votes. For the first time on the campaign, Michigan has been elevated into the Matrix's final eight cut group, albeit in the eighth spot. The numbers may look bleak and small, but at least the Wolverines are trending in the right direction at the right time. The question is will there be enough season left and can Michigan win enough games and others lose enough during that point to make a major move?
A look deeper into the Matrix numbers reveals that Michigan may be a lot closer to the actual bracket than their measly 12-vote haul indicates. Let's break it down by the most recent straw poll. All told, there are 75 bracketologists that participate. However, only 28 of them have cast their ballots since the close of Saturday's action. Let's focus on those 28 ballots. The Wolverines grab 10 of their votes from those early voters, so they are running at about 35-percent support when it comes to the most recent exit poll. Should Michigan maintain that level of support with the remaining four dozen or so ballots, they would rise to about 27 votes. In the current Matrix, that high of a vote total would be good for third-from-last cut.
Even better, Michigan is really maxing out with more support among the early voters than a lot of the other teams ahead of them in the Final Eight Cut list. For example, currently Cleveland State, Colorado State and Wichita State are the first, second and third to last teams cut from the comprehensive Matrix. But they're still relying on support from mocks that have not updated to prop up their position in the pecking order. Of the 28 early voters this week, Cleveland State and Wichita have six votes apiece while Colorado State, fresh off one of the worst bubble losses of the weekend to Air Force, has just one vote. If the early voting is any indication, Michigan has passed all three of those teams. They're also faring better than Southern Miss, fifth-to-last cut, who had six votes from the early mocks and UTEP, sixth-to-last cut, who had just one. If voting form holds--a big IF obviously -- when the Matrix updates again (usually around dinner time every Monday night) expect Michigan to at least be a couple spots closer to the field than their current eight-from-last-cut Matrix position.
The only two teams within that Final Eight Cut group trending better than Michigan are Clemson--a team Michigan beat on the road three months ago, who netted 13 of 28 early votes and have a total of 22 votes altogether and Colorado, who like Michigan, has 12 total votes with almost all of them coming from the early voters. In that demographic, the Buffs grabbed 11 votes, one more than the Wolverines. The Tigers have a huge game at Duke this week, then close the season at home against Virginia Tech. I think an argument can be made on either side of the coin as to whether or not we should be cheering for or pulling against Clemson. As for Colorado, their surge comes on the heels of their electric second half Saturday night when they took down Texas, one of the marquee wins of the weekend. They travel to Iowa State on Wednesday and close at home over the weekend against Nebraska. They can't afford to lose either game. We are decidedly Cyclone and Cornhusker fans this week.
Outside of the final eight cut, there are a couple teams to look out for, which are trending at upwardly support but just a smidge beneath Michigan. Penn State received eight of their 11 total votes from the 28 early ballots and Baylor grabbed seven of their 10 from that same crowd. Both have major showdowns this week where wins could skyrocket them up the charts. The Nittany Lions--a team Michigan swept in two games this season--play host to Ohio State and travel to Minnesota. A 2-0 week would be a major statement and put them in position for an actual bid heading into the Big 10 Tournament. As for Baylor, they continued their inconsistent season over the weekend with a win over Texas A&M. They travel to Oklahoma State and host Texas to close the season. They need a 2-0 week as well, and if they pull that off, a bid might be back in their grasp when their league sectional begins. So, we should keep an eye on both PSU and Baylor and cheer against both this week. So, uh, Go Buc....eh, I cant say it, even if I mean it.
As for the teams currently perched inside the Matrix, there are a couple really shaky at large bids right now. Michigan is trending equally or better than both based on the early returns. One, of course, is Minnesota which Michigan defeated in glorious fashion on Saturday. The Gophers still have 45 total votes, good for a spot on the 11-line. But only six of 28 early voters have them in their field. That's four less than the Wolverines pulled in the early straw poll. They might tumble out of the Matrix during its next comprehensive update. So too might the Alabama Crimson Tide. They suffered a bad road loss to Ole Miss over the weekend, something akin to losing on the road to Iowa to make a Big 10 comparable. Like the Gophers, they're seeing their support hemmorage. They are on the 12-line with 42 votes, but they received the exact amount of support--10 votes--as Michigan in the early voting this go around.
What does all this mean? Well, not much. The Selection Committee doesnt really care what mock bracketologists have to say. But these folks put a ton of effort into it and, in the end, they're competing with one another to produce the most accurate facsimile of the eventual field. And among that crowd, Michigan right now is rising. When the Matrix does its next comprehensive update, depending on how many fresh votes it entails, don't be surprised to see Alabama and Minnesota fall out, Clemson and Colorado jump in to take their place and Michigan elevate as high as one of the final two teams cut from the Matrix. It might not be the best position to be in, but at least a clear path exists between and the field of 68.
One last note on the mock bracket crowd. Much has been made in the forums over the weekend about Lunardi finally putting us in his field. Since he hasnt formally published a new bracket at ESPN.com, his vote has not been updated in the Matrix. So, we can assume Michigan will at least pick up one more vote there. But, what I want to mention is something I've brought up numerous times. He is not the best bracketologist, just the most famous. The best, IMHE, is Bracketology 101. Not only have they proven more accurate than Joey Brackets in recent years, but they just put a lot more thought and foresight into their projections. And I swear Joey Brackets' updates throughout the winter are geared a little bit to put an extra highlight on upcoming televised games on the WWL. Just an observation I've made over time. B101 has no such biases. Anyway, Michigan has been one of their final four teams cut for two weeks running and they've mentioned several times that the Wolverines have been one of their most debated teams during the back half of February. It's worth pointing out the Michigan has been elevated into their field for the first time this season, projected as a 12-seed to play fellow 12-seed Colorado in one of the play-in games. Is it a good thing that the most accurate bracketologist has the Wolverines in their field with just 13 days to go until Selection Sunday? Yes, it is. Here is what they said about the Wolverines:
With no bid-stealers available, we had to pick from a group of teams with a lot of warts and a lot of work left to do. . . . . . Michigan made the cut, despite their loss at home to Wisconsin on Wednesday, because we think they have a decent chance to beat Michigan State at home this weekend and then win their first Big Ten tourney game.
So there you go. The best in the biz saying that Michigan might be just two wins away from the bid and they have a decent enough shot of pulling that off that they made their field. It's not the most ringing endorsement, but given the expectations we had when the season began, we'll take it. It should be a fun weeklong building up to the State game on Saturday and, of course, scoreboard watching in the interim.
MBB: The case for an NCAA bid
Before I start, I just want to thank whoever created the "groping for optimism" tag before I could. After last night's miserable ending, I felt like looking for a reason to be positive.
Anyway, a few days ago I put up a side-by-side comparison of Michigan and Virginia Tech. The Hokies are a team that most bracketologists not only have in the tournament, but many have above the "last four in", and the case can certainly be made that Michigan's resume is stronger.
Today, I thought I'd look at a bubble team that the BTN compared Michigan with last night: the Butler Bulldogs. Butler is 19-9, with a 12-5 record in a fairly competitive Horizon League. Michigan, however, is now 16-12 in D1 play, and 7-9 in the B1G. Here, again, are each team's wins and losses, with common opponents in bold. I did the losses a little differently this time; since Michigan has three more losses, I listed those first and then did the remaining 9 side-by-side. Also, these RPI numbers are from before last night's games. Wisconsin's RPI is probably a little higher, Florida States is a little lower, but it's not a big deal.

The quality of top wins is about the same. Butler's top five wins are roughly equivalent to Michigan's top five. While the RPI numbers average one spot better for Butler, Michigan has three road wins in that group to Butler's one road win and two neutral-site wins. Michigan's next three wins are all significantly better than Butler's. Where Butler cleans up in this comparison is in their wins against teams with an RPI over 150. Their wins against terrible teams are against less terrible teams than the ones Michigan played. Apparently bracketologists find this to be important.
As for the losses, there is truly no comparison. Even comparing Butler's 9 losses to Michigan's worst 9 losses, Michigan wins the comparison by a wide margin. Purdue and the two Wisconsin losses are roughly the same as Butler's top three losses, but Butler's five losses outside the top 100 stand out like a sore hand. Youngstown State? Really?
The way I look at this is that Michigan has better wins against the top 150, and Butler has better wins against the bottom 150. Michigan has lost to far better teams, a result of their much more difficult schedule. Against all teams ranked outside the top 25, Butler is 19-6, while Michigan is 16-5. Both have about the same winning percentage in that regard, but Michigan's losses were to much more difficult competition.
Let's look at it a different way, the way that the bracketologists do:
RPI: Michigan is #58, Butler is #47.
SOS: Michigan is #25, Butler is #74.
Record against the top 100: Butler is 5-4, Michigan is 7-11.
When you look at it in this simplistic a form, you can understand why Butler frequently gets put into the field (also, last year's tournament) and Michigan doesn't sniff the bubble. However, a closer look shows the comparison is far closer. It also shows that wins in the last two games might not be enough. Unfortunately, what gets left out in this view is:
Against teams 100-200: Butler is 8-4, Michigan is 4-1.
Against teams with RPI>200: Butler is 6-1, Michigan is 5-0.
If Michigan, rather than playing Kansas, OSU twice, and Purdue, had lost to IUPUI (RPI #102) four times, both teams would have 5 bad losses, but Michigan would now be 7-6 against the top 100, and the resumes would look the same, except Michigan's losses would be to better teams.
If Michigan beats Minnesota on Saturday, I'll continue this series of comparisons with a look at Gonzaga. If not, it will be time to focus fully on hockey.
Hockey moves to 6 in Pairwise
Besides the great Senior Night game and the sweep of Western that came along with these two victories, Michigan also made a nice move in the Pairwise rankings - up to #6 - a solid #2 seed. It would appear to me that if UM wins 2 @ NMU this weekend, and then makes the Joe for the CCHA Semis they will be a 2 seed. I think they have bid #21 in a row locked up.
I also believe UM clinched (at worst) a #2 seed in the CCHA playoffs. Even if Northern sweeps UM and Miami sweeps, we tie in points, but will have more conference wins.
Go Blue!
EDIT - my bad, and just saw Mfan_in_Ohio's Pairwaise update in the Diaries. It's very good and very detailed. I didn't even think to look there. My bad!

This change moved Michigan up from #6 to #5. Notre Dame is tied for 7th. Western is up to 10th (!), Miami at 16th, Alaska at 18th, OSU and Ferris are tied at 24th.
Basically, the ranking's Teams Under Consideration comparision has been expanded from the top 25 RPI teams to all teams with an above .500 RPI. To put that in perspective...Michigan State is now a TUC...wow.
Volleyball: Season Ends in Seattle
The volleyball team was swept in the opening round of the NCAA tournament last night at the hands of #11 Washington. The #23 Wolverines were missing Alex Hunt due to an injury, and adding more youth to an already young lineup didn't help Michigan's cause.

German Yields Fall Most in 7 Weeks on Slow Growth, Euro Concern
German government bonds gained, with 10-year yields falling the most in seven weeks, as concern euro-area growth has stalled and the sovereign debt crisis is worsening fuelled demand for safer assets.
Benchmark yields dropped to a three-week low after purchasing managers' indexes showed the region's service sector shrank in August and German manufacturing contracted for a sixth month. Spanish and Italian bonds pared earlier gains as the European Central Bank was said to wait until a court ruling before unveiling details of a plan to buy the securities of the most-indebted nations. Bunds also rose as Federal Reserve minutes showed policy makers were ready to increase stimulus.
"In Germany, services PMI was below 50, which was a concern because it signifies some weakening," said Mohit Kumar, head of European fixed-income strategy at Deutsche Bank AG in London. "What really started the rally in bunds were the dovish Fed minutes."
The German 10-year yield dropped 14 basis points, or 0.14 percentage point, this week to 1.36 percent at 5 p.m. in London yesterday, the biggest decline since the period ended July 6. It fell to 1.32 percent, the lowest level since Aug. 3. The 1.75 percent bond due in July 2022 rose 1.305, or 13.05 euros per 1,000 euro ($1,255) face amount, to 103.615.
Spain's 10-year yield was little changed this week at 6.42 percent after dropping to 6.15 percent on Aug. 22, the lowest since June 11. Similar-maturity Italian rates ended the week seven basis points lower at 5.71 percent. They earlier fell as much as 22 basis points.
Services Shrink
A gauge of euro-area services declined to 47.5 this month from 47.9 in July, London-based Markit Economics said Aug. 23. A German manufacturing index was at 45.1 in August, Markit said, below the level of 50 that signals contraction. German economic growth slowed to 0.3 percent in the second quarter, from 0.5 percent in the previous three months, the Federal Statistics Office said the same day.
With Germany's Constitutional Court set to rule on the legality of Europe's permanent bailout fund on Sept. 12, investors looking for ECB President Mario Draghi to announce a definitive purchase program at his Sept. 6 press conference might be disappointed, according to two central-bank officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deliberations are not public.
Many Fed "members judged that additional monetary accommodation would likely be warranted fairly soon unless incoming information pointed to a substantial and sustainable strengthening in the pace of the economic recovery," according to the minutes of the central bank's July 31-Aug. 1 meeting released on Aug. 22 in Washington.
Italy will sell zero-coupon bonds on Aug. 28, and Spain is scheduled to auction bills on the same day.
Germany's bonds returned 3.7 percent this year through Aug. 23, according to indexes compiled by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies. Spanish bonds lost 2.3 percent, and Italy's gained 11 percent.

NEW DELHI (January 27, 2014) A tourist boat that capsized off India's remote Andaman and Nicobar islands was overcrowded and may have hit a rock before it went down, killing at least 21 people.
Police say the boat capsized about 100 yards from shore Sunday afternoon.
The investigation so far suggests the boat hit a rock, they said.
Forty-seven people were on board, all of them Indian tourists.
Police say the passengers exceeded the boat's capacity.
Boating accidents are common in India as many ferries are poorly built and often overcrowded, with little regard for safety regulations.

Above The Ashes Review: http://www.brutalism.com/content/ulysses-siren-above-the-ashes 5 Stars!
In Memory Of Jon Torres - Ulysses Siren:
Hails Nathan, Check it out brother - your story about the loss of Jon Torres has been posted at: http://metaltoinfinity.be/INTERVIEWS/In_Memory_Of_JON_TORRES_2013.html Without beating around the bush, straight from the heart answers .... pure as can be and that's what I like. Thanks a lot doing this Nate, to me a pleasure to work it all out... we will will never forget Jon Torres !! By The Grace Of US Metal, Stefan www.metaltoinfinity.be
Infernal Masquerade Review http://www.infernalmasquerade.com/?q=reviews/002584-ulysses-siren-%E2%80%93-above-ashes-2003 With Thrash Metal being born back in the 80's in the Bay Area, it is not surprising that many bands just didn't get enough attention when they should have. Ulysses Siren is the perfect example of how a very high-quality band didn't get a fair shake and ended up in relative obscurity. Being at least 5 times better than Dark Angel, Testament, Metallica, etc., this band delivers seven riff-driven tracks that represent the band's early demos. With "Above the Ashes" we have a testament of a band that could have been something else if the right things would have worked out for them. Opening with "Terrorist Attack" we immediately feel the Bay Area Thrash vibe with the intense riffing and the crushing vocals. The band's spares nothing and delivers a brutal riffing assault that only a few bands those days would have pulled off. Showing no mercy, "The Reich" keeps the intensity levels super high with some epic melodic passages and devastating solos. Rounding up their 1985 demo "Terrorist Attack", featured in the first 3 songs of the album, "Lake of Fire" is the best track in this release, with a heavy Death Angel vibe mixed with some classic Kreator. The instrumental "Leviathan" opens up their 1987 demo, with a certain different pace, but an equally catchy and powerful Thrash vibe. On "Above the Ashes" we can see how the band refined their sound and it is now more cohesive and direct. The riffing is as intense as before, but the guitars sound cleaner and the vocals are more potent. With "The Resurrection" rolling in, we can appreciate some very crafty drumming and killer dual guitar attacks. The band's sound is timeless and if you didn't know that this release is from the 80's, you would never know it. As a whole, "Above the Ashes" showcases all the talents and killer songs crated by Ulysses Siren. Since the band didn't get a real shot back in the 80's, it is cool to see that they are reunited and ready to attempt a new comeback with the current wave of Thrash Metal revival we have been facing the last few years. We can only hope the band can still pull off this killer sound and sheer riffing power, and we hope to hear new material from them soon, until then, keep listening to this solid compilation release. Band: Ulysses Siren Album: Above the Ashes Label: Relentless Records / Scrap Metal Records Release: 2003 Genre: Thrash/Speed Metal Country: USA Rating: 89/100
Infernal Masqerade Review http://www.infernalmasquerade.com/?q=reviews/002587-metal-over-oostrozebeke-presents-%E2%80%93-perseverance-2013-2013 Arriving via Malevolence Records, today we have a very diverse sampler that contains everything from Thrash Metal to Melodic Death/Black Metal and related genres. Featuring eight different bands, this release makes for a very interesting time, with very contrasting changes between bands and some excellent tracks mixed in between some sub-par ones. Opening we have Mad At Sam, a Thrash/Crossover band that can easily go unnoticed with their track being less than two minutes long. The drastic contrast is immediately felt with Aegror and their very enjoyable Melodic Death/Black Metal that fusing influences from Carcass, Grave, and several other bands into a very cohesive and engaging sound. "Behind Walls" and "Prophecy" are taking from their 2013 EP, a release we will be trying to find as soon as we are done writing this review. With Thrash Metal being the specialty of the day for Malevolence Records, we finally find our first good dosage of Thrash with Sanity's Rage and their two excellent tracks: "Once You Cross" and "Taste of Decay". This Belgian band delivers intense riff-drive Thrash Metal with a certain Edge/Dark Angel/Testament edge that is quite enjoyable and well executed. More Thrash/Crossover is on our way with T.C.F, a track that lacks recording quality and sounds very dismal when compared to the previous and following songs. Leave Scars comes at us with another solid dosage of Thrash Metal with a an old-school vibe reminding us of Death Angel. The two tracks presented here feature solid riffing and very fitting vocals, all wrapped up nicely with tight drumming. Saving the best for last (almost) we have Ulysses Siren and their latest single: "Justifiable Homicide". Keeping their furious riffing power intact, the band does a very good job in keeping it real with their on-your-face Thrash Metal. The best track in this sampler comes from the label's strongest artist: Kaos. With a relentless Thrash Metal that mixes the old-school grit with a modern sound, "Blood Red Eyes" is by far the catchiest and best executed track in the whole release. Closing the release we have X-Tinxion with a very powerful Female vocalist that at times sounds like Schmier from Destruction fame. The mixed in growls and melodic nature of the track make it different than previous songs, and a very worthy closer for such a diverse release. In general, this sampler has plenty of solid moments with very good bands like Kaos, Aegror, Ulysses Siren, and X-Tinxion. The crossover bands really have no business being here, and they greatly contrast the flow of this release. If you can pick up a copy of this sampler, do so, since it has a lot of classical sounding Thrash Metal with a few weird (and good) diverse tracks here and there. Band: Sampler Album: Perseverance 2013 Label: Malevolence Records Release: 2013 Genre: Metal Country: USA Rating: 85/100

Rest In Peace brother.
Perseverance 2013 CD review: http://www.metaltoinfinity.be/CDREVIEWS/Perseverancetour2013.html 86/100
Hails Nate,
First on, both Sanity's Rage and Leave Scars never sent me any promo stuff to review (at least, as far as I can remember).
Both bands' songs on Perseverance Compilation CD were so damn good, I really will collaborate with them by writing down
a review in the first place followed by setting up an email interview. Do you have a personal contact with them? If so, let them
kniw that I'm interested, what we ask are physical promo's of their latest outputs. Feel free to give them my email address so they
can hook me up whenever they want too. Again, they're really good in the fields of Thrash Metal, Bay Area styled and that's what I like!!
Also same story for X-Tinction... what a great Thrash Metal act ! Maybe they'are able and willing to send me some promo stuff,
awaiting to their new one that'll be released in 2014. Perhaps you can let them know that we at MTI are ready for a collaboration.
They'll bring on physical promo stuff, we do both review and interview with pleasure.
Benny's a friend of mine and will set up an interview about MOO when the time is right Nate. It'll take a while but a promise is
a promise to me... I will work out the questionnaire as soon as I can. You can count on it.
So Nate, tell the bands about my interest in their way of Metal in hope they're ready for a collaboration.
Concerning to an interview with MOO, that's a hundred percent guaranteed fact that Benny will answer my questions with pleasure.
Just keep me informed about all of this brother... great opportunity and pleasure to me, Metal keeps me going on forevermore!
Rock 'n Roar, Stefan
Metal To Infinity Webzine Interview with Malevolence Records©: Hails Nathan, Meanwhile, the interview has been published at the following url: http://www.metaltoinfinity.be/INTERVIEWS/MalevolenceRecords_2013.html As for me, really good and informative interview - thanx a lot for the collaboration brother !

Hell House
Each Halloween for the past 10 years, the Trinity Christian School outside Dallas has presented a "Hell House"--a spook show warning students of the perils of abortion, homosexuality, rave culture, and more.
In this behind-the-scenes look at the Hell House phenomenon, Ratliff follows the entire process, from the first script meeting until the last of the year's 13,000 impressionable visitors emerge from the gruesome spectacle, shaken by a final stop in "Hell" where burning and suffering sinners beg them not to repeat their mistakes.
Hell Houses have become popular scare-fare among Christian church groups throughout the world, and the film gives an intimate portrait of the people who haunt this peculiar subculture. (85 mins.)

TravelPod Member ReviewsHoliday Inn Manila Galleria Pasig
the reviews on this hotel were not the best, but using points I decided to tough it out. Well it was not tough at all. Typical Filipino hospitality right from the first minute. Great check in service, nice to have two men bring my bags to my room. Upgraded to a suite and it was very nice, all woodwork and very comfy. Mini bar was reasonably priced. Bed very comfortable, good choice of TV. Restaurent good as was room service. Not complaints at all and I highly recommend this hotel!

Historical Traveler Reviews Holiday Inn Manila Galleria Pasig
Mostly love for this under-valued hotel
The Galleria is not the Westin, duh, since it's half the price. But for its rates, it may be the best overall value in Manila. (Stayed a total of four weeks, three trips)
Service: Five-star. Impeccable politeness and responsiveness, although one reviewer is correct - there is a tendency to forget to re-stock the bathroom tissue. Their peso conversion rates are 3% above what you get at Market Market, but not extortionist like most hotels in Europe, for example.
Breakfast: Four-star+. Superb overall. Picky points - the juices/fruits are not up to American standards (Euro-quality) and the pastries are not up to European standards (American-quality).
Facilities: 4-star. Elegant and well-maintained, but their fitness room has been "under renovation" for over eight months and no sign of urgency on their part. They will give you a complimentary pass to Gold's Gym (in the mall), but it is less convenient. The pool and pool staff are very pleasant.
Rooms: 3-star to near-5-star, depending on the luck of the draw and who does the booking. If your booking agent is local or has connections, you can get a superb room. If you book online, you may end up with the musty-smelling one (although the smell is faint, not all that bad for a tropical climate, where it's a gargantuan task to keep humidity effects down).
Robinson's Mall: Wonderful location, convenient, clean and fun, but be forewarned - it's for the young, fast-food, socio-economically lower-tier. I enjoyed the fast food, but there is nothing beyond that quality either in the Mall or anywhere nearby in Ortigas. In other words, nothing remotely like a Houlihan's, an Outback, an Olive Garden or any of the many local 3-star restaurants you'd find in the NYC area. Three variations - 1) Chinese/Thai/Filipino rice and sushi-based (regardless of the supposed ethnice distinctions, the menus are all priced identically and all the dishes are almost identical with slight seasoning variations) - there are exactly one zillion of these in the Mall and none are equal to your better local Thai restaurants in the US; 2) chicken - there are exactly a half-zilion variations on KFC and Kenny Roger's (although Max's is the best - they actually serve you! and their spring chicken beats the competition...); 3) burgers - there are also exactly half a zillion of these in the Mall. I understand Filipino's pride in Jolibee's, and it's a great success story going up against McDonald's and succeeding (the only location in the world where McD's is #2), but it's much more of a Duchess than a McD's. Their burgers are pretty nasty, but their other food is OK and pretty well valued.
Loved the Holiday Inn
When I mentioned to my husband that I booked at the Holiday Inn, he was so upset about my decision. When we set foot in our room, he complemented me for choosing the hotel. The hotel is not rated five star and should not expect a five star accomodation. It is also much cheaper than Shangri La and Westin Philippine Plaza. I find it a great disservice to compare Holiday Inn with the others.
When I visit Manila, we normally stay near the water. However, this time around, my friends requested that we stay closer to their house. I picked Holiday Inn over Shangri La and The Richmonde because it is connected to the Robinson's Mall. We had a very busy itinerary and I would like a chance to visit the shops when I can.
I found the hotel very clean. No dust! I ran my hands on the lampshade, furniture and other nooks and crannies. The staff is very helpful. Service was great and even the breakfast buffet was good. My son is a picky eater but he managed to fill himself.We looked forward to breakfast each day.
Mu husband enjoyed the massage at their spa facility. He used them 3 or 4 times.
I will not hesitate to use this hotel again. We had a great time.
Isn't that an ordinary Holiday?
Well, all I can say about the two years straight for two weeks stay we had with this hotel is that it is convenient that it's connected to a mall, but hey, the service, the furnishings, the amenities should also be of utmost importance for the management. Holiday Inn Clarkfield is quite a better than this city hotel.
Never Again
After reading the limited reviews about this hotel and since the Westin Philippines Plaza Hotel (where we have had wonderful stays before) was in the midst of leaving Westin (now its simply called the Philippines Plaza Hotel), we decided to give the Holiday Inn Galleria Manila a try.
We spent 5 days there and will never return. The first room they put us in on the 7th floor smelled like mold and mildew so badly that we asked to be moved to a new room. The first room also had very worn carpeting, heavily stained furniture, beds so soft two people could not sleep together, a shower/tub that would drain water very slowly and a toilet that took 2-3 flushes each time.
The second room they put us in was on the 21st floor. It also had a mold/mildew aroma but not nearly as bad as the first room. Actually, the entire hotel had the aroma but the attached mall did not. Again, the carpets were old and worn looking but not as bad as the first room.
Like most buildings in Manila, the outside of the building and the outside of the windows has never been cleaned. The housekeeping staff did a fair job of cleaning our room but couldnt seem to remember to leave toilet paper most days.
We had some laundry done and they managed to leave big oily spots on several of the pieces. After much discussion they removed the charge from our bill.
A big caution for travellers with US dollars: we booked the room online for a US dollar rate of $89 per night. Upon checkout, they converted that to an inflated peso rate. Essentially, they added 10% to the room cost and there was nothing that we could do about it.
The best thing we can say about our stay is the direct connection to the mall.
Loved it!!!
Although we were non-paying customers (we used our priority club points), they still gave us a really great room with pool view. It's clean, and very spacious. Another plus for me was that it's connected to Robinson's Galleria! Easy access to shops, restaurants (food court, too!)and the supermarket. Great customer service, too. LOVE IT!!!
Great hotel
I stayed at this hotel in October, 2005 and would highly recommend it. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient, with the only problem being the cost of the phone bill upon checking out, but when questioned they quickly amended it. The rooms are extremely big, with 2 queen sized beds, the bathroom was a bit outdated and could do with being modernised, but otherwise clean. Buffet breakfast was excellent with a huge variety of food. Location was extremely good with the adjoining Galleria Shopping Centre connected to the hotel on two levels and security guards at both entrances, and the shopping was fantastic. Will definately stay there again next time.
Great Place at a Great Price
This hotel exceeds my expectations. A total 5-Star experience. The hotel's location is ideal for tourism and balikbayans, with a shopping mall just a few steps away and plenty of entertainment within close proximity. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who intends to have a great time at an affordable price.
Holiday Inn Galleria is the Best in Manila!
My daughter and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Galleria Hotel on July 27 - Aug. 1, 2005 and checked in again on Aug. 5 - 13, 2005. We were very happy with this hotel (formerly Manila Galleria Suites) during the first time we stayed there in August of 2001 and were curious to see if the hotel under the new Holiday Inn management has been well maintained since our last visit -- and we were extremely happy that YES!!!, the Holiday Inn Galleria Hotel is still the best hotel in Manila!
The Ortigas location is very accessible and the fact that this hotel is connected to a mall and despite rainy or hot and humid weather and the infamous Manila traffic, we did not have to leave the hotel to go shopping or to eat out will always be the major reasons why we think that the Holiday Inn Galleria Manila is the best hotel in Metro Manila. On the ground floor, there is a food court, Shakey's Pizza, DeliFrance, Red Ribbon BakeShop, and many other eating places, Mercury Drugs, National Bookstore, and even a Mandarin Chinese Traditional and Alternative Drugstore! On the other floors up to the 4th floor are tons of shops, theaters, and more restaurants, including Max Fried Chicken, Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, Greenwich Pizza, MongKok Dimsum, etc. This hotel is also very close to the upscale Podium Mall and the Shangri la Mall and the SM Mega Mall, as well as other major restaurants. It's so easy to catch a cab or to get picked up by family and friends from this hotel because it's so centralized.
Our room was a large suite with two comfortable queen size beds, a sofa and coffee table, and two writing tables. Each room had its own safe which was really useful. We got a complimentary daily newspaper. The hotel provided bathrobes and disposable slippers. The hot water heater, tea bags, and the daily complimentary bottled water were also very useful. The big marble bathroom had a phone, hair dryer, 110 v and 220 v outlets, pull-out rope in the bathtub to hang laundry, toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, lotion, shower cap, soap, bath gel, toothbrush and toothpaste, etc. At our request, the hotel even gave us other necessities that we had forgotten like cotton balls, q-tips, etc. Our room was very clean and well maintained by the best housekeeper we have encountered anywhere in our travels: Arnold -- who really showed what "going the extra mile" meant in service.
Everyone in the hotel was very nice, professional and courteous -- housekeeping, room service, bell captain staff, doormen, elevator staff, Cafe Rafael restaurant staff, front desk staff, etc. Laundry service was efficient, too.
The free breakfast buffet (which normally would cost around US$11 per adult) was also a treat! The main courses had a lot of Filipino and Spanish dishes and they changed a lot of the dishes everyday so you don't get tired of the same dish day after day! The pleasant and efficient omelet chef Bien was the best! Of course, for light eaters, the buffet also included fruits and yogurt, cereals, apple juice, orange juice, vegetables, breads and pastries.
Check-in and check-out were fast. We always felt safe here. The Holiday Inn Galleria Manila exceeded my expectations this time. We were sad to leave but plan to stay here again the next time we visit! It may not be the most posh hotel in Manila but the Holiday Inn Galleria Manila is truly the best deal in town! Highly recommended!
The best hotel in the Philippines!
I stayed here exactly one year ago today and enjoyed every minute. It is connected to the Galleria Mall which has everything you can imagine. The usual mall stores plus services such as spa, dental, laundry, medical, and whatever else you could think of! It was nice to know that if we needed anything we could go to the mall! It is also near other shopping destinations (Megamall and Greenhills) and close to MRT (public rail transit).
The hotel staff was very attentive. From the front desk clerks, to the bell hops, to the restaurant staff, to the taxi guys.
We were given free breakfast passes (I think they were given if you stayed more than 3 nights) to a very good buffet. I probably would have paid $10 for this breakfast.
I would recommend this hotel to all my American friends, in fact, I have already. I cannot wait to book my next trip to Manila because I plan on staying here throught my entire trip!
We'll be back !!!
Stayed at the Galleria for 10 days during the summer & had a wonderful time there. It is connected to the Galleria shopping center & had all the things that we needed including hair salon, movie theater, arcade, restaurants etc. The staff was very friendly & helpful. We booked a deluxe twin & later requested the end rooms which had more space. My kids loved the swimming pool. The complimentary breakfast buffet was excellent & the staff was extremely accomodating. We later stayed at the SHangrila & they said they still prefer it at Galleria. We first stayed for a week & later returned after a week of travelling. Upon returning, the kids were surprised when my husband was welcomed back & greeted by name.

Queuing our way out of Manila
... off.
We had been wondering how we'd fill this time, but Cebu Pacific and Manila airport teamed up to solve the problem for us - it would be spent queuing! After over an hour spent at bag check-in, we paid the fine ("departure tax") to leave the country and then waited in line for a further hour or so at immigration, much of the time with no-one manning the desk... The flight began boarding ...
Manila Art District, Baclaran and Mall of Asia
... around until I come to a skating rink. There were about 150 people skating and all of them skate worse than me. I was going to strap on some skates but I would have ended up teaching strangers how to skate. Think about the last two sentences... crazy eh? ... only in the Philippines.
I take a break from shopping to check out the DaVinci exhibit. It contains many re-created inventions from his collections of works ...
A slight detour...
... just to hear my own voice! I'm not looking forwards to the next leg of the flight...
In order to get a cheap journey we had a 14 hour stop over at KL. We found some reasonably comfortable benches in a dark corner, tucked up in our sleeping bag liners and fell asleep overlooking the runway. I woke early to beautiful dawn skies, excited but slightly nervous wondering what we will find when we land in Manila later ...
Final Farewell
Well we are currently cruising at around 36000 feet having just taken off from Manila airport. After almost five months of touring around the Philippines we have finally made it out and are heading to New Zealand. Despite managing to avoid actually staying in Manila for the entire time, we did unfortunately have to stay last night to catch our early plane which meant that we could actually do some shopping to prepare for the colder weather we are going ...

Narrow your search
As we hurtle toward episode 200 it's time to get out our AK-47s and blast some tech news into your brain as well as discussing the sad, but inevitable, death of Google Wave
The tool, which got killed this week, was ambitious, and many liked where it seemed to be headed. What could Google have done to keep the Wave flowing.
The tide has gone out permanently for collaborative inbox tool Google Wave
Speaking on the sidelines of the Techonomy conference, Schmidt chalked up Wave's lack of adoption to Google's strategy of trying difficult things and seeing what works.
The search giant says the real-time collaboration tool saw less use than the company had hoped. The company will aim to use technology in other products.
Buzz may have eclipsed the Wave tool for collaboration and communication, but Google says it's time for naysayers to give it another whirl.
In 2009, Google Wave was Google's vision of the future of communication. With the debut of Google Buzz in February, that vision has competition.
The eBay economy for Google Wave invitations has been pretty healthy, with some fetching upward of $80 to $100.
Ian, Rich and Rory ponder the purpose of Google Wave, and chat about the week's news and the awesome things we've had a play with in the last seven days
Ribbit's extension for Google's next-gen messaging app shows how the walls between text and voice can fall.

Janet Napolitano as Supreme Court Justice? Puh-leeeeeze
Literally, it's the most inane piece of twaddle I've read since the days when erstwhile pop star Jewel penned poetry. I'm talkin' about O.J. Simpson-expert and CNN talking head Jeffrey Toobin's suggestion in a post for The New Yorker online that ex-Arizona guv and DHS honch-ess Janet Napolitano would be a gee-whiz-swell replacement for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. That's assuming the ailing septuagenarian Supreme croaks from the pancreatic cancer she's now hospitalized for.
Writes Toobin: "Janet Napolitano, the former governor, attorney general, and U.S. Attorney of Arizona, and the recently installed Secretary of Homeland Security, would seem to have the ideal background if Obama decides to go the non-judge route. (And in private practice, Napolitano helped represent Anita Hill--which might make for lively lunchtime conversation with Clarence Thomas.)"
Despite these retarded remarks, Toobin's no dunce when it comes to the Supreme Court. In fact, his most recently published tome is The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court. But he apparently is not as well versed in the Napster's political history as we are here in Sand Land. If Toobin knew anything about Nappy, he'd know she's a gutless, careerist cipher, who left Arizona with a billion dollar deficit, a rock-bottom ranking in education, and a legacy of hate and intolerance spearheaded by nativist pols such as state Senator Russell Pearce and Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whom she never really took on during her six year tenure.
In fact, since Toobin needs schoolin' on Nappy's many negatives, I'd suggest he study Village Voice Media Executive Editor Mike Lacey's November cover story, Janet Napolitano's Sorry Service in Arizona Makes Her a Terrible Choice for Homeland Security Secretary. See, that "sorry service" also argues against any appointment higher than the one Nappy has now.

This speculation on the Napster's suitability for filling out a black robe seems particularly premature considering that she's just taken the helm at DHS, and has yet to prove that she can do the job. In fact, the New York Times' editorial board recently criticized Napolitano regarding her thuggish political ally Sheriff Joe, and urged her to rein him in on his 287(g) authority.
Toobin does mention other possibilities to replace Ginsburg, such as Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm and federal appeals court Judge Sonia Sotomayor. But he gives the skunk-coifed Nappy practically a whole paragraph in his online musing. I guess now Nappy owes him lunch, or something.
I will say one thing, if Nappy were to ascend to highest court in the land, it would be historic. In Arizona, she was, and is, widely assumed to be a closeted lesbian. (She has denied being so in the past, and has been no pal to gay rights in this state.) Still, if she is gay, she'd be the first ever alt-lifestyle lady appointed to the court. Um, that we know of, anyway.

NYSE Euronext (NYX) launches an exchange in London as it looks to challenge the LSE in its own back yard. Groupe Eurotunnel (GRPTF.PK) becomes NYSE Euronext London's first listing, which is all very nice except that trading in the stock on the LSE has been almost dead.

Here is the link to my WordPress fansite: http://www.sunshinefan.com
For every post, you can see if there is any comments but when you go to view them, they do not show up. The default recent comments, recent posts, and most commented posts also do not show up with any results. When you go to the RSS feed for all comments (http://www.sunshinefan.com/comments/feed/), they show up! Why is this happening? This is strange since all these functions work when I preview ANY of my uploaded themes for WordPress.
Additionally, the author for each posts do not show up. I have 3 different users so it is important to show who is posting what article. When I sign into the admin panel for WordPress, all the recent comments show and when I view my site, the author shows up magically. Why is this happening, too?
Thanks in advance!
