The Cremation of Care mock human sacrifice photo inside the Bohemian Grove. Mark Dice obtained this photo on ebay when a set of photos were put up for sale from the estate a dead Bohemian Grove member named Victor Campogno.
An older photo of the Cremation of Care, also from the personal collection of Victor Campogno.
This image came from page 131 of the Bohemian Grove Annals (volume 7) and was taken in 1990. The Annals of the Bohemian Grove are an official yearbook given only to members which chronicle the current activities in the grove, as well as giving a history of the club and its activities and members.
The San Fransisco Chronicle published this photo in 2005 of Bohemian Grove members wearing black robes with hoods.
In 2004, National Geographic published this photo of a 1915 Cremation of Care ritual taken by Gabriel Moulin and included a caption below the photo explaining the picture. "To purge himself of worldly concerns, a member of the elite Bohemian Club participated in a 1915 Cremation of Care ceremony—complete with candles and a robed and hooded comrade to guide him. This private club of influential men still meets annually north of San Francisco and uses this symbolic ritual to kick off its summer retreat. But today the ceremony involves burning a mummy-like effigy named Care at the foot of the group's mascot: a 40-foot-tall (12-meter-tall) concrete owl."
This photo of a person being hung came from the official Bohemian Grove Annals, which areare books that are given to members that contain historical photos of the club.
This 1908 pictures shows an African American boy's body being carried out, possibly to be burned for the Cremation of Care.
This is a still photo from Alex Jones film "Dark Secrets: Inside Bohemian Grove" which shows the entire Cremation of Care ritual. Jones snuck into the grove in July of 2000 and was able to capture the ritual on video for the first time.
This is one of the first photos of Molech and the Cremation of Care to be released to the public. It came from a brochure that was smugled out by the Bohemian Grove Action Network, a left-wing group that has been protesting the grove for decades.
Another older photo of Molech from the estate of Victor Campogno.
An old Cremation of Care photo also from Campogno's estate.

Posted by Cathydogo on 2/6/2011, 11:33 am, in reply to "Re: Thanks, may I rephrase"
I will admit I am not very knowledgeable in this, but to me and my interest is hunting, is that can the dog function to do what it was bred to do? To me if the dogo is too tall it could be hampered in going into brush after the hog, if the teeth are not scissor type that hampers the hold of the Dogo, if they are not of good temperment that will hamper the hunting pack, if the hearing is unilat then that could hamper the dogo hearing a bay which we use. Too heavy, the stamina will not be there. I feel that for too long the breeding world has been zeroed in on the showing aspect and what will win all the titles and ribbons. If the Dogo is not bred to "form follows function" then they cease to be the Dogo that was invisioned by the creators. They sought to create a premier hunting dog. If it is not bred for function than we wind up with large white dogs that could not perform the function that is supposed to be the "standard". I feel they need to be allowed to prove they can function before they are bred. True testing is done by hunting what you breed. I was so impressed by this concept when we were in Argentina, so see that what was bred was able to function and not one was witheld or saved for breeding purposes. To me you can see what they are out of. I know I am rambling and not answering your question, but this is what I look at.

An itchy butt can be a cause of great discomfort and embarrassment. Why does your butt itch? It could be hemorrhoids, jock itch, lack of hygiene or even pinworms. Read on to find relief.
Sometimes the cause of butt itch is simple. Perhaps your underwear are made out of a fabric other than cotton, or maybe they are too tight. Wear looser cotton underwear to prevent itch.
Not wiping properly can also cause an itchy bum. Tush Wipes feel great and guarantee a fresh, clean butt. Tush Wipes come in small individual packs so you can take them everywhere.You should also wash at least once daily with mild soap.
You could potentially have jock itch, a common fungal infection found in your thighs, buttocks and genitals. It looks like a red, ring-shaped rash and it itches like crazy. Jock itch is typically found in people who sweat a lot or who are overweight, but really, anyone can get it. You can even get jock itch from having athletes foot. To clear up your jock itch, you will need to apply an antifungal like Cruex.
Hemorrhoids cause painful, burning butt itch. Hemorrhoids are swollen or inflamed veins in your anus and lower rectum. Over-the-counter suppositories, creams, ointments and pads can help immediately treat hemorrhoid discomfort. Calmol 4 suppositories work fast, so you can sit down comfortably sooner. Americaine Hemorrhoidal Ointment is a bestselling ointment that numbs your anus with 20% benzocaine. It is the strongest numbing product available for hemorrhoids. Witch hazel pads are another great treatment for hemorrhoids. They can help you clean up after bowel movements without further irritating your hemorrhoids.
Pinworms are a type of roundworm infection. They are parasites that lay microscopic eggs that hatch into adults, measuring 0.2 to 0.4 inches. The worms grow in your intestine and go to your digestive system to lay eggs in the anal area. Then the worms escape out of your anus. Sounds awful, right? At first, pinworms won't cause any symptoms, but as the infection worsens, you will experience itching of the anal or vaginal area, insomnia, irritability and restlessness, and certain gastrointestinal symptoms like stomach aches and nausea. Pinworms can be treated with an over-the-counter remedy like Pin-X. You'll also need to wash all your clothes and bedding, and treat everyone you live with.
To lessen your butt itch, you can apply a 1% hydrocortisone cream to the area twice a day. If you are still itching after a few days, you should see a doctor.

Fighting with Phantoms: A Reply to Warring with Wardle
Lynn D. Wardle | 1998 U. Ill. L. Rev.
In this essay, Professor Lynn Wardle responds to Professor Carlos Ball's and Ms. Janice Pea's article, Warring with Wardle: Morality, Social Science, and Gay and Lesbian Parents, published in this issue of the University of Illinois Law Review. In their article, Professor Ball and Ms. Pea criticize Professor Wardle's earlier work on the subject (also published in this journal), but Wardle argues that Ball and Pea have mischaracterized a number of his positions and focused their criticism not on Wardle's actual claims and proposal, but on their preconceived notions of what the positions and proposal of a critic of homosexual parenting must be. While he claims that they have conceded many key points of his article, Wardle criticizes Ball and Pea for failing to address the core issues raised by his proposal.
Wardle explains that his original proposal was simply that courts should adopt a rebuttable presumption that ongoing homosexual relations by one claiming parental rights is not in the best interests of the child. Wardle argues that the law must make some presumption??one way or the other??concerning the potential harm to children when a parent engages in homosexual conduct. Given the need to make such a presumption, Wardle states that his proposal is quite moderate because it merely shifts the cost of overcoming the presumption onto the party that, by engaging in homosexual conduct, created the potential harm to the child. Finally, Professor Wardle agrees that it is important to consider the moral dimensions of homosexual parenting and argues that his proposed rebuttable presumption promotes the best interest of children.

Mischievious Monkey & Baby
Category: Nature
Photo and caption by Torger Totusek
I captured a photo of this monkey with her baby after they snuck into the resort. They jumped on the table a few feet away, sending tea, plates, cookies and the innocent victims across from me scrambling! After the ruckus settled down they scampered off to enjoy their loot. I suspect it was a training run from the mother!
Location: Resort on the edge of the Ngorongoro caldera, Tanzania, Africa

Just finished making some fatt gous or huat ge, if you prefer. Still using the same old pumpkin recipe! I wish I had gotten a bigger paper cup so that, the huat ge will look more "prosperous". Haha.
I had a bad attempt in making nin gous on Wednesday night. Perhaps, I was just over confident? The caramelized sugar isn't up to expectations, sort of dampen the mood to make proper nin gou. So, ended throwing 3 pairs of fish into the dustbin. I find, it's not because of the "pantang larang" in making nin gou – like, nobody supposed to make noise, there shouldn't be any disruption when you are making nin gou – even if somebody ring your door bell, you're screwed… that sort of thing.. but I think it's more towards your own mood. If you are in a good mood, your nin gous would turn up ok.. otherwise, better not make anything, if you are in a foul mood. I've been under a lot of stress lately, so probably that's why it affected my mood. Anyway, never say die! So, I calmed down on Thursday night, laid down on my bed for a few minutes before I went downstairs to start making nin gou. It worked! So… it's good to keep calm at all times! And also, I discover, it's best to use the correct proportion of flour to sugar – they must be equal. Then, you would get a good nin gou!
Things were not that smooth in office either. For some reason, my boss mistaken the questions I asked were from me. Actually, most staff wanted to know the affirmative answer to an issue but somehow, the management couldn't give them black and white answer. So, I was merely conveying a message from the staff but got scolded instead. This is not good! This is probably the first time, I've seen my boss this mad – at me. In so many years of working here, he never once chided me for anything. So lesson learned. If colleagues wanted to know anything in future, they can all ask him themselves. Am not going to get myself entangled in this senseless mess! It sort of made me fucking pissed the whole day today but then, I got home.. and I calm myself down. It's good to keep yourself out of shit which do not stink you!
Hopefully, this is the end of my series of bad luck this week.. and also end of the Dragon year. It wasn't that smooth sailing year but I guess it's good that, I am still healthy (I think!) and despite all the arguments, the family is still here for me. I hope to improve on my communication skills though. Also, it breaks my heart a very good friend of mine lost two of the most important persons in her life – her mom and her elder brother. My heart goes out to her in this time of loss. I could only imagine the magnitude of grief. I wish and hope she would stay strong and carry on this precious life. Am sure both her mom and brother are reunited in heaven, and looking down lovingly at her and would guide her through the thick and thin of life.
Well, Chinese new year is just about 24 hours away, so here's dropping you guys a line to wish you, "Gong Xi Fa Cai! May the year of Snake brings you much to laugh about, more to eat and devour, more people and animals to love, more passion in achieving your life's goals and most importantly, solid good health to enjoy all those things!" Thank you, dear readers for staying this long, to read my blog after all these years!

I could swear I'd seen this in the past on an LJ4, but I've
been trying to implement some sort of printer usage reporting
on an color HP4600 and the only reports I'm getting logged
from the printer concern level of toner. Ideally I'd like
to see items that note something like "Print Job from IP#,
10000 bytes / 1 page".
I've updated firmware on the printer to the latest available,
and the syslog server is Kiwi running on a Win2K server.
Any thoughts or suggestion greatly appreciated,

Patient Experience: Old School Approach May Be Best
The simplest, most effective patient experience strategy may be listening to the patient, directly through personal discussions and indirectly through survey data analysis.
This article appears in the July/August issue of HealthLeaders magazine.
"Real change begins to happen when physicians, nurses, and staff hear the voice of the customer, the voice of the patient."
"It's really about cultural change and maintaining that, which is probably twice as hard as getting to cultural change."
"Patient experience is not a campaign. It's an actual, critical part of culture."
"If anything makes physicians act, it's not being the best, and wanting to be.
"It was horrible. When I pressed the call button, I couldn't get anyone to answer. I could hear other patients crying in their room and the nurses weren't attending to them."
Those comments were part of a six-sentence paragraph described by a patient during a telephone survey after a three-week hospital stay in October 2012. It's something no hospital wants to believe is happening, but the reality is that scenes like the one above play out in patients' hospital rooms across the country.
That feedback is hard to read, but even harder to hear says Kevin Gwin, vice president of communications for Nashville-based Ardent Health Services, parent company of the hospital where the incident occurred. Gwin is providing new insight into how patient experience scores can be improved at Ardent Health and believes that the voice of the patient is the most effective change agent. The C-suite at each Ardent hospital is in charge of patient experience, but Gwin is in charge of getting patient experience scores up. That's why he asks nurses to read this patient's comments in full and out loud at staff meetings.
"Nurses become emotional when they hear a comment like this," says Gwin. "But that's how you change behavior. We're going to read it in a voice that makes the comment come alive."
Patient experience and satisfaction is the No. 1 priority for healthcare executives, according to the HealthLeaders Media Industry Survey 2013—above clinical quality, cost reduction, and many other burning issues. Yet there is little consensus about how to measure, improve, and incorporate patient experience into hospital processes.
One reason patient experience is ambiguous for hospitals is because it is a close relative of patient satisfaction, which is measured through HCAHPS, says Patrick T. Ryan, CEO of Press Ganey, a South Bend, Ind.–based company that works with healthcare organizations to measure and improve patient experience through surveys and consulting. In fact, according to this month's HealthLeaders Media Intelligence Report on Patient Experience, most respondents surveyed said the No. 1 goal of their patient experience efforts is to improve HCAHPS scores. Patient satisfaction and experience are closely tied together, but they are not the same, says Ryan.
"It's much more than patient satisfaction," he says. "The confusion that some folks come into the industry with is that patient satisfaction is about keeping people happy, but it couldn't be further from that because when people enter the health system, they're coming in at one of the most complex and stressful times in their life. And what they want most from the experience is communication and understanding of what their condition is, the path to the best possible health they can achieve, and a way in which to coordinate that with their clinicians and staff to ensure that they get there."
Measuring patient loyalty
How hospitals and health systems approach patient experience varies widely. Some are adopting measures from retailing, financial services, and other industries that depend heavily on loyal customers because, with growing healthcare consumerism, hospitals want to be seen as a reliable health partner throughout a patient's life instead of the place where patients go when they are sick. Ardent Health—a for-profit system that owns 13 hospitals, a multispecialty physician group, a health plan, and retail pharmacies in New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas—is using Net Promoter Score as it aggressively works to change its culture.
"Real change begins to happen when physicians, nurses, and staff hear the voice of the customer, the voice of the patient," says Gwin, who believes NPS gives a clearer view of how the patient perceives experience at the time and place of care.
NPS, developed by the Boston-based global strategy consulting firm Bain & Co. in 2003, has been catching on in the healthcare industry as a way to measure patient experience. Besides Ardent Health, St. Louis–based Ascension Health, which has operations in 21 states and reported $16.6 billion in total operating revenue in 2012, also uses NPS.
The key difference from HCAHPS is that NPS measures loyalty by asking customers to assign a number, on a scale of 0 to 10, to the question "How likely is it that you would recommend to a friend or colleague?" A patient who chooses 0–6 is labeled a detractor and is likely to negatively talk about the experience. Scores of 7 or 8 mean the patient is passive—satisfied but "unenthusiastic, and vulnerable" to competition. The jackpot is a 9 or 10. Either of those means the patient is loyal and is extremely likely to promote the organization to friends and family members.
To calculate the NPS, it's a simple math equation: Subtract the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters, and that is the score. The NPS recommendation question is similar to the HCAHPS survey, specifically question 22, but Gwin believes an NPS score is a better measurement of patient experience and loyalty because the data is raw, relevant, and returned quickly. Ardent uses an outside vendor to conduct an NPS survey with a representative sample of patients who are discharged weekly. When the surveys are returned, the scores are pushed out to each hospital's C-suite team.
Gwin says leaders in Ardent Health hospitals are empowered to manage their own NPS scores; the data is to help them make decisions, but there is a corporatewide standard of calling back a patient who was surveyed and turned out to be a detractor. He says hospital leaders are the ones who make the calls because he believes the most effective and meaningful way to change culture is to hear—really hear—from the patient what the experience was like.

Azlynn Berry is Adnan Ghalib's wife. Adnan, who is rumored to be shopping a Britney Spears sex tape, has just filed for divorce. See her biography, photos, and video here.
Azlynn Berry is Adnan Ghalib's's wife. Adnan Ghalib's is known as one of the sleaziest paparazzi in Hollywood, and we are about to see how far he will go to keep his name in the tabloids. According to reports, he is shopping a Britney Spears sex tape. Now, TMZ reports that Adnan has filed a joint petition for a divorce. Not to worry, I think Britney is thinking clearly again, and will be keeping her distance.
We don't know much about Azlynn Berry, so please do help us in the comments section if you can help. She is a gorgeous woman who had the misfortune of being married to Adnan Ghalib. Surely she can do better, with her honey blonde hair and deep blue eyes. She too came under the pubic eye, when Adnan had his brief affair with Britney Spears, while still being married.
Now sources report that within the past 10 days, Azlynn has filed for divorce. She is hiding out so her photo cannot be taken and she will not be hounded by the paparazzi.

Product Description
With an unprecedented production budget of $25 million, and from the makers of Blue Planet: Seas of Life, comes the epic story of life on Earth. Five years in production, over 2,000 days in the field, using 40 cameramen filming across 200 locations, shot entirely in high definition, this is the ultimate portrait of our planet. A stunning television experience that captures rare action, impossible locations and intimate moments with our planet's best-loved, wildest and most elusive creatures. From the highest mountains to the deepest rivers, this blockbuster series takes you on an unforgettable journey through the daily struggle for survival in Earth's most extreme habitats. Planet Earth takes you to places you have never seen before, to experience sights and sounds you may never experience anywhere else.]]>
That's just a hint of the marvels on display. Accompanied by majestic orchestral scores by George Fenton, every episode is packed with images so beautiful or so forcefully impressive (and so perfectly photographed by the BBC's tenacious high-definition camera crews) that you'll be rendered speechless by the splendor of it all. You'll see a seal struggling to out-maneuver a Great White Shark; swimming macaques in the Ganges delta; massive flocks of snow geese numbering in the hundreds of thousands; an awesome night-vision sequence of lions attacking an elephant; the Colugo (or "flying lemur"--not really a lemur!) of the Philippines; a hunting alliance of fish and snakes on Indonesia's magnificent coral reef; the bioluminescent "vampire squid" of the deep oceans... these are just a few of countless highlights, masterfully filmed from every conceivable angle, with frequent use of super-slow-motion and amazing motion-controlled time-lapse cinematography, and narrated by Attenborough with his trademark combination of observational wit and informative authority. The result is a hugely entertaining series that doesn't flinch from the predatory realities of nature (death is a constant presence, without being off-putting), and each episode ends with 10-minute "Planet Earth Diaries" (exclusive to this DVD set) that cover a specific aspect of production, like "Diving with Pirahnas" or "Into the Abyss" (the latter showing the rigors of filming the planet's most spectacular caves, including the last filming ever officially permitted in the "Chandelier Ballroom," a crystal-encrusted cavern found over a mile deep in New Mexico's treacherous Lechuguilla, the deepest cave in the continental United States.)
With so many of Earth's natural wonders on display, it's only fitting that the final DVD in this five-disc set is devoted to Planet Earth: The Future, a separate three-part series in which a global array of experts is assembled to discuss issues of conservation, protection of delicate ecosystems, and the socio-economic benefits of understanding nature as a commodity that returns trillions of dollars in value at no cost to Earth's human population. At a time when the multiple threats of global warming should be obvious to all, let's give Sir David the last word, from the closing of Planet Earth's final episode: "We can now destroy or we can cherish--the choice is ours." --Jeff Shannon

I have been watching it on Discovery HD Theater when it premiered in March. The first episode "Pole to Pole" set the tone by showing the range of life and species that exist on this planet. The subsequent episodes delve into the habitats one by one. Mountains, Fresh Water, Caves, Deserts, Ice Worlds, Great Plains, Jungles, Shallow Seas, Seasonal Forests and Deep Ocean are the subsequent episodes. This is one series that has to be seen to be believed of what the intrepid cameramen of BBC/Discovery Channel have been able to capture through their sheer perseverance in remote locations. The HD technology has captured some scenes and images never seen before and some seen before but never with this clarity and beauty. 5 years, 62 countries and 204 locations is what it took to make this series, and the result is a lifetime TV series.
This is one series that fascinated my kid as much as it amazed me. She wanted to watch her cartoons but the moment the episode began she was captivated. Both of us shared together the wonder that is our Planet and it was she who brought up the subject of what we might be doing to it by our actions. We cried when we saw how polar bears have begun to drown as ice melts faster every year. The image of one lone bear trying to walk on ice but falling into the slushy waters, and having to swim longer distances to capture food and finally dying with exhaustion was heart breaking. The series makes no references to the present conditions, just in passing as with the polar bear.Read more ›
My one minor complaint has to do with the fact that on the HD transfers, there is absent the supplemental material that is present on the standard defintion release. There is no 110 minutes of behind the scenes footage of what took place on these excavations to these wonderous places or interviews with the people, Attenborough or anyone for that matter. The other special feature not found on either the Blu-Ray or HD-DVD transfer is Planet Earth: The Future, which is a 150 minute documentary(Shot entirely in high defintion mind you) which chronicles how the whole series was created, and how we can continue to preserve our earth so that we may continue to have wonderous documentaries like this for our children's children. Finally, amazingly there are charging the HD customers around $25 MORE for a product that has LESS content than on the standard defintion release.
Otherwise highly reccomended presentation that is extremely addictive and immeasureably sensational from the first scene to the last. Its simply amazes me the beauty of God's creations.
I had originally purchased the blu-ray of this, but ended up also buying the DVD version of this because of all the bonus material included on it. Sadly the bonus material is not included on the blu-ray or HD-DVD versions.
Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series [Blu-ray]
Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series [HD DVD]
As we watched we both gasped with wonder at some of the shots of the wildlife and the filming off the various locations. We both watched the first episode on the DVD and then eagerly awaited watching the others on the Discover Channel later that night.
We settled down to watch the documentary and we both were in shock as the original narration by Sir David Attenborough had been replaced by Sigourney Weaver. In fact my wife couldn't watch the documentary as the narration was so bad - and she's American! So we went back to the DVDs.
We cannot understand why the Discovery Channel decided to replace Sir David Attenborough's narration with Sigourney Weaver but we both agree it was a very bad decision. We both like Sigourney, however she lacks any passion or warmth and appears to be speaking in a monotone voice. In particular there's a spot where in the first episode a bird clears a spot on a branch with a piece of debris from it's area so it can attract a female and Sigourney says "missed a bit" here she could show emotion she is just so lifeless. Sir David's narration is different here and you can hear the passion in his voice.Read more ›

How convenient for them. I called them and they told me to call my bank and dispute it because they were not going to reverse the second payment, an overage of 1601.70. I called my bank. They returned the second payment to Merrick and put the money back in my account.
Merrick Bank now says I owe them $25.00 for the second returned payment, which they should have not gotten in the first place. Horrible people!!! My bank says they can't help with the $25.00 charge because it wasn't charged to my account. Sarah at Merrick Bank is not a very nice person. She knows the account was paid in full on 1/6/12 and still insists that she is right and won't waive the $25.00 fee.

Foo Fighters
- This article is about the band. For the aerial phenomenon, see Foo fighter
Foo Fighters are a post-grunge band formed by musician Dave Grohl in 1994 after the demise of the grunge band Nirvana, in which he played drums. They are named after the World War II term "foo fighter", used to refer to mysterious aerial phenomena.
Foo Fighters have earned a strong worldwide following, and their hits include "I'll Stick Around", "Big Me", "Monkey Wrench", "Everlong", "My Hero", "Learn to Fly", "Breakout", "All My Life", and "Times Like These". On top of their four studio albums, they have also contributed to several movie soundtracks, including the song "A320" on the 1998 "Godzilla" soundtrack.
Table of contents
Foo Fighters began as a studio solo project for Grohl. Unbeknownst to most of Nirvana's fanbase, Grohl had slowly written a stockpile of songs that he had held back from the band for fear of ruining their chemistry. Following Cobain's death, Grohl entered Barrett Jones' Seattle studio to put many of his new songs to tape. With the exception of a guitar part on "X-Static" by Greg Dulli of the Afghan Whigs, Grohl played every instrument and sang every vocal on the tracks. Lured to Capitol Records by former Nirvana A&R (and then-Capitol president) Gary Gersh, Grohl had the demo recordings professionally mixed, and the results became Foo Fighters' self-titled debut album.
However, Grohl didn't want Foo Fighters to be a one-man studio project, so he worked to try to put together a band. Initially, former bandmate Krist Novoselic was a main candidate for the band, but both were concerned that it might portray Foo Fighters as a reincarnation of Nirvana. Having heard through the grapevine about the disbanding of Seattle-based Emo band Sunny Day Real Estate, Grohl drafted SDRE's bass player, Nate Mendel, and drummer, William Goldsmith. Pat Smear, who was an "unofficial member" of Nirvana after the release of In Utero, was added as a second guitarist, completing the band.
The band's first single "This Is a Call" was released in June of 1995, and their eponymous debut album was released the next month to enthusiastic fan response. "I'll Stick Around" and "Big Me" were released to radio and MTV in the months that followed.
After touring through the spring of 1996, the now full band Foo Fighters entered a Seattle studio with producer Gil Norton to record the band's second album. However, conflict erupted between Grohl and Goldsmith, resulting in Goldsmith's decision to leave the band. The band regrouped in Los Angeles and almost completely re-recorded the album with Grohl on drums. The album, The Colour and the Shape, was released in May of 1997.
In need of a drummer, Grohl contacted Alanis Morissette's touring drummer Taylor Hawkins to see if he could recommend anybody. Grohl was surprised when Hawkins volunteered himself. Hawkins made his Foo debut in time for the album's release.
In September of 1997, in front of a crowded street outside the MTV Video Music Awards, Pat Smear simultaneously announced his departure from the band and introduced his replacement, former Scream guitarist Franz Stahl. Following the recording of the band's third album There Is Nothing Left to Lose, Stahl departed the band, and was eventually replaced by Chris Shiflett.
Before the release of There Is Nothing Left to Lose, Capitol president Gary Gersh was forced out of the label. Foo Fighters' contract had included a clause that allowed them to leave the label upon Gersh's departure. They subsequently left Capitol and signed to RCA.
American late-night talk show host David Letterman invited Foo Fighters to perform on his first show after undergoing heart bypass surgery in 2000, where the band played "Everlong". Letterman introduced them by proclaiming: "my favorite band, playing my favorite song".
Near the end of 2001, the band reconvened to record their fourth album. After spending four months in a Los Angeles studio completing the album, Grohl spent some time helping the Queens of the Stone Age complete their 2002 album Songs for the Deaf. Once the Queens of the Stone Age album was finished, Grohl, inspired by the sessions, decided to reconvene Foo Fighters to rework a few songs on their album. Instead, they completely re-recorded the album in a ten-day stretch at Grohl's studio in Virginia. The final album was released in October of 2002 under the title One by One. (Hawkins jokingly refers to the first version of the album as the "Million Dollar Demos".)
The band's newest recording is a double LP, "In Your Honor", due for release on June 24, 2005. Singer Dave Grohl says that the two-disc release – one full of rock songs, the other featuring acoustic tracks – is a perfect memorial for band's 10th anniversary. Grohl hinted about the release in an interview with NME magazine: "It's really amazing. The good thing about doing it is that you split it up so that there's no middle ground. So the rock stuff is the most rocking stuff we've ever worked on, ever."

"My favorite hunting experience took place near Fairplay, Colorado when my Dad, brothers, and I went out elk and mule deer hunting. Being in camp each night sharing stories from our day are now treasured memories. Sure, we took some nice animals on the trip, but getting those animals wouldn't have been half as exciting had I not shared the experience with my Dad and older brothers. They especially loved my story about the only bull elk that showed up opening morning that I missed three times."
I reside in central Wisconsin with my husband and son. I'm employed by a local school district as an Elementary Principal and Special Education Coordinator. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family.
Growing up, my Dad started me hunting small game and deer. My family loves the camaraderie that comes with each hunt and it still continues today. Up until two years ago, I had never taken an animal with a bow. After marrying Jess, I observed his love for bow hunting day in and day out, therefore I became interested in the new challenge of learning how to shoot a bow. In 2007, I took my first animal with that bow. I was immediately hooked and enjoy bow hunting more than ever.
This is my first official year of being part of the Archer's Choice POSSE. I have spent the last couple of years learning to film hunts with my husband and I continue to learn more each time we're out. I'm thrilled and honored to be a part of the Archer's Choice team and I truly respect and admire Ralph and Vicki's passion for hunting.

What Does Commitment Look Like?
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
March 18, 2014
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where it seemed that mountains needed to move in order for you to complete a task?
Recently, one of our voice talent members at Voices.com faced a tight deadline and went way above and beyond the call of duty, showing us all that no matter how challenging a situation may appear, choosing to rise to the occasion can make all the difference.
When you put your mind to something, is there anything you can't do?
Hear Albert Hensley's story in today's VOX Daily!
Going Above and Beyond
Picture this: You're waiting in the hospital for gall bladder surgery and all of a sudden, a rush voice-over job comes in that has to get done.
This happened to Albert Hensley, pictured at left, who from his hospital bed was able to send in an audition to a private job posting, have surgery and then cut the final audio within hours of release.
"Long story short, Albert got out of the hospital around 5:30pm PST and had files recorded and delivered to me within a couple hours following his release after getting to two other jobs first," Blair Frayer, Voices.com Account Manager, exclaimed.
When I heard about this, my jaw literally dropped. The dedication Albert demonstrated to his clients was out of this world.
What motivated Albert to go the extra mile?
Albert shares, "Well, admittedly my first thought after being discharged wouldn't normally be 'Get back to work!' but because this was a regular client who had always treated me with dignity, respect, and kindness, plus, they had a tighter-than-usual deadline, I figured I'd gut it out, and make sure they got what they needed. What better way for a client to come back for more, than to dazzle and go above-and-beyond."
Can you relate?

Great story! I get this level of commitment. It's a jungle out there!Posted by:
SO impressive!Posted by:
Wow! And that for an audition?? You ARE dedicated, Albert! I once flew from Telluride, Colorado to Denver for an ISDN studio when a client's script was delayed (a 7-hour drive and apparently there are no ISDN-equipped studios between Salt Lake and Denver!) but that was for a gig already booked! But it was definitely worth it and the infomercial has been running for a couple of years with seasonal revisions.
Now I have Source-Connect for my recording when I'm out there "in the wilds of Colorado" so I can bridge to ISDN studios. But I've stopped enroute in my travels to record in studios all over the world for my clients with rush jobs and it feels so good to have a client thank you for going "above and beyond" for them!Posted by:
Well done Sir! I remember turning up years ago on a film set only 24 hrs after being discharged from hospital with a suspected heart attack ( it wasn't thankfully).. didn't tell the Director till after he wrapped. .. he was most thankful!Posted by:

For now, it's the Pac-11 Conference.
By the end of today or the weekend, who knows?
Colorado of the Big 12 officially joined the Pac-10 on Thursday and will begin play in the league in the fall of 2012. Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott said the courtship was brief: The two sides did not formally meet until Tuesday, when an invitation was extended.
Everyone in Boulder, Colo., and throughout the Pac-10 seemed giddy about the news. Colorado president Bruce D. Benson, noting he received an excited call from the governor, said, "We know it's time for a change, and this is the exact perfect place for us to go."
Scott, moving quickly to give the Pac-10 a bigger footprint on the college sports landscape in his first year, called the move "historic." The Golden Buffaloes will be the league's first new school since Arizona and Arizona State expanded the old Pac-8 in 1978-79.
Stanford athletic director Bob Bowlsby, in a statement, said Colorado is "an ideal fit for our conference."
Cal athletic director Sandy Barbour added, "From an academic and athletic and marketing and television market and somewhat from a geography standpoint, it all makes really good sense."
The coach of a Cal nonrevenue sport, speaking anonymously, said he hasn't heard any coaches express concerns. "I think the beauty of it is the revenue it's going to provide," the coach said. "I think it will be great, the vision of the Pac-10 commissioner really making us the name conference."
Scott has said he wants to settle conference membership by the end of the year before beginning negotiations for a new long-term TV deal. The conference also could form its own TV network, as the Big Ten has done.
Scott acknowledged he doesn't even know by what name the league eventually might call itself. If the Pac-10 swells to 16 teams — with six defectors from the Big 12 — an entirely new brand name may follow.
Asked what the next step might be, Scott said, "We're going to see what might develop nationally before we decide what to do next."
Triggers for further changes may happen as early as today with a Big 12 Conference deadline looming for member schools to pledge their allegiance to the now 11-school conference:
Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman essentially endorsed the move, telling the Journal Star it would be "an exciting opportunity for Nebraska in terms of academic, research and athletics."
None of the other possible scenarios is a sure thing, but Scott said the conference would be content if only Colorado came on board.
"I'd say that is a possibility," he confirmed. "Anything's possible."
Including potentially the establishment of a conference football championship game, something the Pac-10 does not have. An unnamed Big 12 coach has suggested the expanded league might maintain that policy but lobby for two automatic bids to the BCS football playoffs, one each going to the champion of two divisions.
Scott said those discussions would come later.
"Absolutely," Cal coach Jeff Tedford said when asked if he favored a conference championship game. "How else would you decide a conference champion? That's the model the other conferences use. And it's a big money-maker, there's no question about that. I would just assume if we went to 16 teams, that's what we would do."
Scott stressed that the use of two divisions and "creative scheduling" could minimize additional travel or missed class time in a conference with widespread geographic borders.
Barbour said she has confidence the conference will employ "the right value system and the right priorities in putting together the massive number of details that will be required to be prepared for an expanded conference in 2012."
Colorado will warm up for its entry into the Pac-10 by facing Cal in nonconference football games the next two seasons. The Buffaloes visit Berkeley on Sept. 11 this season, then Cal plays at Boulder on Sept. 10, 2011.

The Drivers Code - Poem by Rosi Caswell
When you drive, consider others.
Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers.
Always look before you leap,
Or you may end up in a heap.
Respect and courtesy must abound
To other drivers on the ground.
So never speed or overtake,
When on a bend for all our sake.
Keep to Universal and Highway code
Every time you're on the road,
Then all will balance sweet and true,
And others will respect you too.
But most importantly you'll live
And life to others also give.

In the Great Soap Opera of Life, I am, I guess, an unnamed extra.
It was a game kids played when I was in junior high: Join your middle name to the name of the street you grew up on, and this is your soap opera self.
(Go ahead. Tell me: What's yours?)
My husband would be Anthony Norwood. My daughters, Ada and Antonia Lawrence. But me? I don't know what street to choose, since I've lived on so many. Stephenie Jamaica sounds a little odd. Stephenie Avenue A? That doesn't work. Stephenie Rogers sounds respectable. I'll go with that.
And that's the reason the game works: Except for those unfortunates who grew up on Avenue A or 10th Street, street names give us, often, an established moniker, a name that hints at families with money and power. Perfect soap opera fodder.
But why are our streets named like that? Who were those respectable-sounding people?
How marvelous to think that even something completely ordinary — like the layout of our streets or the names they were given — came from somewhere. Street names are like stone circles, something set down here by our predecessors that tells us something of their beliefs, their experiences. Stone circles, but with a better paper trail.
Street names can tell us quite a lot about how Albany used to be. Ferry Street no longer has a ferry, nor Mill Street a mill. Market Street, marketless, changed its name to Broadway long ago. Exchange Street? That was in Albany's stockyards. Once upon a time, massive herds of cattle moved through Albany to be penned up, bought, sold, shipped onward, and eaten. The street name is one of the few traces of that industry to remain.
There are streets named for the families whose farms the neighborhoods replaced — Kakely, Weis — and for the landscape features they erased, like Brookline, which traces the contours of the creek that used to run down into the swamps between Western and New Scotland avenues.
Hurlbut Street is a source of snickers for kids (and parents) headed to the Delaware Community School off Delaware Ave. Vomiting and anatomy in the same breath? Priceless. But it was named for Judge Elisha P. Hurlbut. Bertha, the street on the other side of the school, was one of his daughters.
Albany has hero streets, too, like Henry Johnson Boulevard. Johnson was a soldier who in 1918 almost single-handedly fought off a German raid, saving the lives of his comrades. He was the first American to receive the French Croix de Guerre during World War I. But Johnson died in poverty in 1929 without American recognition for his acts, a victim of a racist age that would allow black men to fight but not to be heroes. Nearly 70 years after his death, President Clinton awarded Johnson the Purple Heart; and then in 2003, the Army recognized him with the Distinguished Service Cross. Albany renamed a section of Northern Boulevard after him in 1991.
Some names have been lost. Bone Lane is gone, and so are Nail Street and Lumber Street and Cow Lane. After the revolution, Albany had no more need for King, Queen, and Prince streets, so when surveyor Simeon DeWitt imposed some new grids on the city in the 1790s, he removed those colonial unpleasantries as well. DeWitt is the one who gave us Albany's bird streets. Crossing them in his grid were a series of streets named for animals: Hare, Fox, Elk, Lion, Deer, Tiger, Buffaloe (cq), Wolf, Otter, and Mink. Of the animal streets, only Elk has kept its name. Later, some of DeWitt's bird streets were renamed: Pigeon, Snipe, and Swallow are all gone (becoming Lake, Lexington, and Knox). A couple streets were renamed for sexier birds: Turkey Street became Quail Street and Duck changed to Robin, proving that birds, too, are victims of fashion.
Since street names echo something of our history and our sense of ourselves, these changes don't always come easy. One moment of controversy came when Lydius Street was rechristened as Madison Avenue, after the nation's fourth president. As Lydius, the street honored Johannes Lydius, a popular pastor of the First Reformed Church in the early 1700s. Angry protests accompanied the street's renaming; some saw it as a deliberate move to erase local Dutch history.
And then there's Main.
Is there a more common American street name? Nearly every city and every little town has a Main Street, and if you drove into an unfamiliar town with a Main Street on its map, that's probably where you'd go if you wanted to find the bank, the city hall, a drugstore, even a restaurant, maybe. It's the main road through the town, the main business strip — what could be easier to interpret?
Try this in Albany, though, and you'll be lost.
There's really nothing "main" at all about Albany's Main. It was about as far away from Albany's first 250 years of action as you could get. Sure, it's a decent enough north-south route across town; I take it five days a week on my way to pick up my girls at school. It's residential, except for the Catholic diocese offices and the headquarters of the Marine Corps Reserves. Main Ave. — and yes, it's an avenue, not a street, and if there's a pattern to Albany's whimsical designations of some streets as avenues, I haven't seen it — is a thorn in my side. Why the blazes is it Main when it's not "main" in any usual sense?
As far as I've been able to tell, Main's only distinction is that it was for a time the city's westernmost boundary. In desperation, I've searched for archaic definitions of "main" that might mean "boundary" or "edge." The streets east of Main are Erie, Partridge, and Ontario, so it doesn't seem to be part of a pattern. (Though I admit I looked to see if Main was an old name for one of the Great Lakes.)
Main Avenue appears on surveyor Evert Van Alen's 1813 map, but I don't think he named it, since it doesn't fit his naming pattern (mostly war heroes, and more on them soon; hold your breath). I haven't yet found an older map that stretches so far west to check my theory.
But I don't like a problem I can't solve. I'll find out.

In the world of Willy Wonka, not all chocolates are created equal – some are milkier, some are nuttier, some are extra-dark, and some are well, carbon-neutral.
For ChocolatsHalba, a subsidiary of Swiss retailer COOP, superior chocolates not only mean that the taste is superb – chocolates should also be both carbon neutral and good for the farmers livelihoods.
The hunt for superior chocolates started when the company began measuring the carbon emissions of their chocolate bars. In 2009, they found out that a 100g bar of dark chocolate produces 150 -180 g of CO2 while a bar of milk chocolate produces around 220 – 280 g. This range can be likened to driving an average car for 1 km which generates around 150 – 200 g CO2.1
These calculations prompted the company to think forward and develop a strategy to reduce their footprint over the next few years and embrace the concept "no net loss" by offsetting carbon emissions. A big part of this strategy is investing into reforestation activities involving the cocoa farmers and integrating sustainable cocoa sourcing into its supply chain.
This worked well for the company, especially in ensuring the sustainability of their cocoa supply amidst threats of global cocoa supply shortages. Cocoa farmers are mostly small scale and located in developing countries. Due to cocoa price instability, many of these farmers are abandoning their cocoa farms in search for alternative employment opportunities.
ChocolatsHalba discovered that the best way to support farmers and keep them in business was to establish diversified agroforestry systems that include cocoa as one of many crops. Agroforestry is a method which combines agriculture and forestry allowing trees to co-exist with other crops and animals. In such systems, biodiversity is generally higher because they establish a more diverse ecosystem offering a greater variety of habitats for species. In diversified agroforestry systems farmers also tend to have a higher and more diverse income, which means that cocoa farming is not only good for biodiversity and ecosystem services – it also improves the well-being of the farmers.2
"Farmers that work with us realize that we are not only interested in cocoa but also in their livelihood, their income, biodiversity (we help them reforest deforested areas) and other issues. This makes our relationship very strong: Farmers give their best to improve the quality of cocoa in order to give us something back. So we have reliable sourcing partners and very strong relationships with our farmers. In the case of a supply shortage, this will surely help us", explains ChristophInauen, Head of Chocolats Sustainability and Projects.3
The resulting new chocolates of the company now bear the "Carbon Neutral Product" label. Recently 16 such carbon-neutral chocolate bars were launched and warmly received in the Netherlands and Germany. The company also takes care to communicate the carbon footprint of the product on the packaging as well as provide tips on how consumers can help reduce the product's emissions.
In times of changing markets and consumer preferences, companies such as ChocolatsHalba have more to gain in investing in the farmers and the biodiversity they rely on. TEEB argues that committing to concepts such as "No Net Loss", "Ecological Neutrality" and "Net Positive Impact" can create a double win scenario for both business and biodiversity.4 These concepts enable business to realize marketing and corporate social responsibility opportunities, while ensuring that their industrial activities do not lead to further biodiversity loss.
The benefits of biodiversity-based corporate social responsibility also lie with the quality of its products, the security of its supply, the long-term contentment of its cocoa-growing partners, and the positive environmental impacts being generated in tropical countries – which are among the most important regions for conserving biodiversity and ecosystem services.5

A Meridian group is asking Meridian Mayor Cheri Barry to reconsider her choice for the new chief of police.
Barry will announce her picks to serve as Meridian police chief, as well as fire chief, during Tuesday's council meeting.
At a Monday news conference, the Meridian-Lauderdale County chapter of the NAACP and a newly formed Diversity and Inclusion Committee, which is not directly affiliated with the NAACP, said the person who is expected to be appointed police chief is not qualified.
Barry has not yet confirmed her choice for police chief, but reliable sources revealed last week that it will be Lee Shelbourn, former chief of Petal, Miss., who was fired after a new mayor and board took office there this summer.
"He is a former police chief for the city of Petal, which has a population of 7,800, whereas Meridian has a population of 40,000," said spokesperson Melba Clark. "In Petal, the population is 93% white; in Meridian, it's 54% black. We are also concerned about the way he was dismissed. There was apparent collusion and lack of openness which Mayor Barry promised she would have in her administration. He was told to either retire or get fired and he retired and that's not being open."
"We want the mayor to know that in her campaign statement and promises that we were actually listening and we were not just there," said Milton Johnson, NAACP president. "And we want her to recognize that we as a community of citizens are diverse and if we work together we can reach a level of inclusiveness for all of Meridian."
Shelbourn is a former state trooper and a 30-year law enforcement veteran. He was chief of Petal from 2002-2009.
Last week, Barry said, "I'm looking for the best and the brightest. I'm not entering into the race factors. I'm looking for the best people that can help me run Meridian." She asked Chief Benny Dubose, who has been a career Meridian officer who was appointed chief by former mayor, John Robert Smith, to submit his resignation.
In terms of the alleged lack of openness, group members say this is becoming a pattern for Mayor Barry and they want something done about it. In an effort to get something done, the group is meeting Monday at 7 p.m. at Clark's Funeral Home to discuss the matter further.
