GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - Most of us know we should winterize our house and car, but your skin is also in need of some TLC during these cold, dry months.
A lot of women don't change their skin care regimen during the winter but to keep that youthful glow experts say you should change more than just the color of your foundation.
Susan Payne, an esthetician at Le MedSpa, says there are extra steps you should take in the winter to keep your skin healthy.
1. If you're prone to dry skin, change your face lotion to a cream.
2. Look for hydrating chemicals like hyalaronic acid and lactic acid in the ingredients.
3. Exfoliate. She says it's the best thing you can do. Like most spas, Le MedSpa offers an exfoliating treatment. Professional exfoliation can be expensive, but exfoliating at home works just as well. Payne says go with a gentle cleanser in the shower for the best results.
4. Change your face wash if your face feels dry and rough. Opt for something with more hydrating power.
5. Don't shave less in the winter. Payne says a good way to exfoliate your legs is by shaving and removing that dead skin.
6. Take cooler showers. Not only will it cut back on the heating bill, but hot water dehydrates your body and dries it out.
7. Don't lick your chapped lips. You will just dry them out more. Keep a tube of limp balm handy.
8. Apply sunscreen in the winter, too. Especially if you ski, snowboard or participate in outdoor sports.

Please be patient, we can only tell you what they are telling us.
ED Magedson
CLICK HERE to see how World Benefits contacted Rip-off Report, stating they will give REFUNDS to unsatisfied customers.
I was recently called about an amazing deal with a credit card company by the name or "Superior Benefits". This company offered me a deal of $2000 credit limit with only $299.00 deposit. This money was supposed to be taken out of my account on Feb 13th. Now Feb. the 13th rolls around and I go to check my account ballance and I notice one small detail. The money was not taken out of my account. I wounder about this, and decide I would contact the company and notify them of their mistake. Well anyway I do a check on line, and enter in Superior Benefits in the search bar. My resolts made me worry. I read a report on a web site (rip-off report) called "Superior Benefits, A Rip-Off".
After learning about this company and their scams to redeem money that was hard earned by many Americans, I decided to call my bank and get a stop payment on the check number that I gave Superior Benefits. After 2 days I notice my account not changing and I figured that they gave up and wasnt going to try to contact me on why I stopped this payment.
Now, Feb 17th I go to buy my baby diapers at the local super market, and at the check out line I swip my ATM card and the cashier tells me that my card was denided. I think to my self "how can this be". So I tell the market that I will run to an atm and be right back. So I go to my bank and get an account balance for my account and I quickly relize that my account is now NEGATIVE and I am being charged with a negative balance charge. I again ask my self "how can this be". Then I decided to go in-side my bank and ask them how this can be. They reply, "Last night we had a withdraw of $299.00. I then argue with my bank stating that I put a stop payment on this check number. They then tell me that this company decided to go around the check number and go ahead and get it directly from my account, WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. So now I am furious, and go home and call this company.
First off I am on hold for 37 Min, which I can understand being a huge company and all. Then after waiting for over an half an hour I talk to a customer service rep. that starts off by giving her name (which she mummbled in an foreign language) and stats "How can I help you". I then tell her my probleme and she tells me with an attitude, and I quote "Well sir this is not my problem, this is your problem, you should not of authorized us to take the money out of your account and then put a stop payment on it. You now have to deal with it". She then tells me that there is nothing that she can do and there is no way for me to get my money back! She was completly rude with me and made it seem that this was my fault and nothing more can be done. Then I ask her if I will be reciving my credit card soon. She replys that she will not know for another 7 days if I have paid my fee or not. I then tell her that is should be a guarented payment because it was electronically taken out of my account. She then tells me that nothing I am telling her is going to change anything and I should just wait for my card.
This is completly disrespectful towards me and my money and I am demanding that I get my $299.00 back and any other fees I have encountered or I will prosecute. I also demand an appology.

Commemorative Bricks Are Available for Purchase Again
The Friends of the Bernardsville Public Library are selling commemorative bricks to raise funds for the library's special needs.

"We are offering bricks again because they are a popular way to support the library," said Roni Larini, President of the Friends. "They make wonderful gifts and also help the Friends fund programs and library resources that help make Bernardsville Public Library a STAR library year after year."
The cost of purchasing a brick for the garden courtyard is $250 and for the entry walkway $500. This is the same as when the library opened more than 16 years ago. To purchase a brick, pick up a form at the library. For further information, call the library at 908-766-0118.

Sheriff's Assistant for Public Affairs
Mobile County Sheriff's Office
On November 25, 2012, at approximately 12:22 AM, the Mobile County Sheriff's Office was contacted by an eleven year old female advising two unknown subject's entered their home and her grandmother had been shot. Deputies responded to the scene located at 4100 block of St. Nicholas Drive West Eight Mile. The victim suffered one gunshot wound, which entered the right lower abdomen and exited the right lower back. The victim is in the hospital in critical condition.
MCSO Investigators say the eleven-year-old witness said two unknown males (one black and one white) knocked on the door to their home. The homeowner, witness's grandfather, opened the door to his mobile home and a W/M with a mask on his face, pointed a small silver handgun at him and demanded money. The homeowner stated he grabbed the subject and began struggling with the W/M inside the front doorway of the home. The homeowner said while he was struggling with the W/M, the B/M also masked, entered the home and shot his wife with a large caliber rifle. The suspects then fled on foot towards Lott Road. Four expended shell casings and one mask was recovered from the scene.
Late Sunday afternoon MCSO investigations led them to 1260 Timber Creek Drive North, the home of BRANDON DAVIS, one of the suspects in the home invasion listed above. After a brief stand off, DAVIS surrendered to Mobile County Sheriff's Office and taken to Mobile County Metro Jail.
Mobile County Sheriff's office is continuing to follow leads in this case. If anyone has any information about this case, you may contact MCSO 574-8633 or you may go to our website, WWW.MOBILESO.COM and post the information on our CRIME TIPS.

We are grateful that a concerned citizen was able to provide the information we needed to shut this operation down." Narcotic Deputies say that the suspects purchased over 16 acres off Old Citronelle Highway and were harvesting the marijuana on the property. MOBILE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE was assisted by ALABAMA STATE TROOPERS HELICOPTER during the seizure. Four people were arrested on the property for Trafficking Marijuana.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans.
Author's Note: I'm playing around with the first-person perspective a little bit- it's my second time, and there might be the occasional pronoun mix-up as a result. I know for a fact that I'm jumping verb tenses like a madman, but I really can't find the wherewithal to care.
There are worse crimes than burning books.
One of them is not reading them.
-Joseph Brodsky
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
This is the rule by which I live my life.
Everything I do, everything I have done, everything I was raised to be has been to prevent something.
I am a superhero, and prevent innocent people from getting hurt.
I maintain rigid control over my emotions, and prevent unleashing an Apocalypse upon this world.
I guard my secrets closely, and prevent my friends from finding out what I really am.
I avoid horror movies, to prevent another 'episode.'
I meditate, to avoid losing control of my powers and wreaking havoc upon my surroundings.
And during the month of March, I do everything in my power to prevent myself from murdering Beast Boy.
Saint Patrick's Day was bad enough. The first year that the team had been together, he convinced Starfire that it was an Earthly celebration of the color green.
Two hours later, the common room and everything in it (including a sleeping Cyborg) was painted the exact same shade of green as his skin by the enthusiastic alien. Ten days later, he finally finished scraping the last of the paint off of the ceiling.
The second year that the Titans had been together, he began enforcing the "wear green or get pinched" rule. Robin always wore green anyways, pinching Cyborg was a lost cause, and pinching Starfire was a great way to find yourself doing four hours of extra training every day for a year. Guess who that left?
I was almost insulted that Robin inspired more fear than I did.
No matter- I returned the favor, with considerable interest. Being green and wearing green are two different things, after all. He hasn't tried to pinch me since then, although I've taken to wearing a green wristband, just to be safe.
Never mind the fact that I wear it on days other than Saint Patty's Day. An ounce of prevention, after all. You just can't be too safe these days.
But Saint Patrick's Day is only one of the reasons that March makes me want to murder the team's resident changeling. The second reason technically takes place in April, but the week filled with dreadful anticipation prior to that horrible day in April all takes place in March.
I speak, of course, of April Fools' Day.
The atmosphere in the Tower suddenly changes when March twenty-fifth comes around. We do not know how he does it- we almost never let him out of our sight. We've locked his door and window, placed incredibly sensitive motion sensors up and down his hallway, and Cyborg even went so far as to plant a tracking device in his tofu every morning.
And every year, on the first of April, all Hell broke loose.
I will admit (to myself, and no other) that I admired him for it, just a little bit. Such a rare display of resourcefulness demands it, even if it is turned against us. He is creative too- three years, and he has yet to repeat a prank. Still, I wish he would turn that energy towards something other than making his friends pull their hair out.
Or trying to make me laugh and smile, for that matter.
It is March thirty-first, at three in the morning, and I have been monitoring Beast Boy for the past half-hour from my bed. He is a deep sleeper, with troubled dreams that he never shares with any of us.
Even Robin will tell Starfire if he's had a nightmare. But never Beast Boy- he shares with nobody. Of all the Titans, he is by far the most secretive- going so far as to hide even that fact from prying eyes. I only know because his emotions wake me up at night- feelings so loud and desperate and pained that it takes every ounce of willpower I possess to stop myself from running down the hallways to comfort him.
But I can do nothing to prevent his nightly terrors, and were I to ask him about them I would soon find myself being confronted with my own nightmares. I know he knows about them- I have frequently felt his emotional signature standing outside my door as visions of my father rip me from a restless slumber.
He has not knocked yet. I should dread the night he finally will, but I don't.
My mind wanders to thoughts of tomorrow, and I desperately try to think of some way- any way- to prevent…
Fight fire with fire.
My eyes narrow and I allow a smirk to find its way to my face. There will be no need to worry about April Fools' Day. I lie back down and go to sleep, confronting my nightmares once again.
It was not unusual for me to spend the last day of March in me room in deep meditation. After all, I was the most frequent recipient of Beast Boy's April Fools' attentions, and every little bit of inner peace counted. So, to say that my presence in the common room all day was a surprise to my friends would be an understatement.
But there I was, all the same. Even Beast Boy was too shocked to harass me as I quietly read my book on the couch. He must have assumed that the story was riveting (it was), as I missed breakfast as well as lunch. I was surprised when he brought me a cup of tea, quietly reminding me that I was still safe today as he handed it to me. Aside from that, however, I ate nothing all day.
At six o'clock sharp, I snapped my book shut and stood up from the couch, raising my arms in the air as I stretched. Setting my reading material down on the sofa, I looked around at the Titans staring silently at me. A slight smirk gracing my features, I monotonously inquired as to what a girl had to do to 'get a proper meal around here.' Cyborg and Beast Boy immediately sprang into action, each fighting the other in their attempt to dictate the contents of the night's meal.
I volunteered to wash the dishes after dinner that night, humming quietly to myself as soiled plates and glasses flew through the air and into the sink before emerging clean and stacked on the countertop. The rest of the team was slightly unnerved by my behavior- what was perfectly normal behavior for any other time of the year (except for the humming- that was new) was definitely not normal today. Beast Boy in particular was worried, but I suspected that he consoled himself with the thoughts of the many pranks he'd pull off tomorrow.
I felt my green friend's unease and forced back a smile. Everything was going according to plan.
The Titans watched a movie that night at my suggestion, further confusing them all. As the ending credits rolled down the screen shortly after midnight, I stood up and headed towards the door, audibly stifling a yawn. As I reached the entry, I looked back over my shoulder at my teammates.
"Beast Boy," I asked, "is my book over there?"
This is it, I thought to myself. The Moment of Truth.
I had spent the entire day trying to confuse the changeling, in an attempt to make him stop questioning my behavior. Normally, I would simply lift the book over to myself with my powers, and he knows it.
But not tonight. Tonight, I need him to-
Beast Boy lifted the book in question into the air with both hands. "You mean this one?" he asked. I allowed myself a small smile (to keep him off-balance, of course!) as I floated back towards him.
"Yes," I said. "Thank you." I stretched my arms out to take the book, but as my hands neared his I altered their course and grabbed his instead. A brief surge of power flowed through me as the spell took effect. Doing my best to force down my triumphant grin, I released the changeling and stepped back, dropping my arms to my sides. A flash of confusion flitted across his eyes as I moved away from him, and he waved the book slightly as though to bring my attention back to it.
"Don't you want your book?" he asked, not knowing at all what I had done.
"No," I replied. "I changed my mind. Could you please put it on the floor by the couch for me?"
His left eyebrow arched in confusion as he moved to do as I ask. Turning around, he bent down and placed the book on the floor, then stood back up. "Alright, Raven- what was that about?"
I shook my head, a smirk breaking free from my control. "Beast Boy, why did you pick the book back up?"
He blinked and looked down at his hands. Sure enough, the heavy book remained firmly in his grasp. Paying more attention, he bent over again and laid it on the ground. Tentatively, he placed his left hand behind his back and tried to stand up. As though under a power other than his own, his right hand snatched the spine of the book and shakily held on. It started to slip from his grasp, and his left hand flew forward to catch it.
I'd given him a book he couldn't put down.
"Happy April Fools' Day, Beast Boy," I said as the realization of my trickery struck him like a thunderbolt, leaving him speechless.
The next five minutes were spent waiting for the others to quiet down. Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg were beside themselves in congratulating and thanking me- with his hands full and unable to sneak around as an insect, Beast Boy was going to find it next to impossible to pull any of his elaborately planned pranks. Beast Boy, realizing this same fact, simply stared off into the distance and mourned for the loss of all his hard work. Finally, after five minutes of celebration and stunned silence, I quieted everyone down and got their attention. Turning to Beast Boy, I explained the terms of his imprisonment.
"You are holding there a collection of all of the works of George Orwell, one of the more famous authors of the twentieth century. You only technically have to keep one hand on it at a time, but you'll probably end up holding it with two hands for most of the time you're reading it." Beast Boy gasped in surprise, not liking the sound of this at all. "I'm only requiring you to read one of his books, but you're going to have to read it carefully. The only way I will release you is if you can engage in a coherent discussion of what you've read."
"But," he interrupted, "what do I do if the alarm goes off?"
"Don't get my book dirty," I replied. Reaching over, I opened the book to the table of contents. "These nine," I said, gesturing to the last entries in the table, "are his books. Pick one and read it. Personally, I recommend Animal Farm, as I think it would be the one you would enjoy the most. The choice is yours, though."
He paused for a few seconds before speaking again. "So, as soon as I finish and talk about it with you, you'll let it go?" I nodded my confirmation. "Cool! I'll get started now."
"No," I said, shaking my head. "Get some sleep- you'll read and remember much better if you're rested, and I won't go easy on you with the discussion. You're going to have to meet my standards." He blanched briefly, then hung his head in defeat and headed off to get some sleep.
After he left, the other three Titans turned to me with awe in their eyes. "Rae," exclaimed Cyborg, "you are a genius!" Further exaltations and praises flowed from their mouths as the high-fives flew furiously. After calming down, Robin turned to me.
"You realize, of course, that you can't let him go until tomorrow's over." The other two nodded in agreement. I, however, thought otherwise.
"I will do no such thing, Robin. I said that I would release him once he fulfilled his task, and I am not one to go back on my word. If he finishes quickly and meets my expectations concerning comprehension and interpretation, then he'll be free to wreak havoc on us until the day is done." Judging by how their faces fell, they were not pleased to hear this- all of them knew that he could very well pull it off. Once he set his mind to something, he was almost immovable. "And," I continued, "he is to be allowed to read without harassment. If he reads out here, feel free to be as loud as you usually are, but if I catch the slightest hint of anybody deliberately interrupting his reading- yes Robin, that means no training- then I'll let him loose then and there. And I will know. Trust me on that." They nodded in understanding before we all stood up and headed for bed. As I passed Beast Boy's room, I let a tendril of thought reach into his room.
Go to sleep, Beast Boy.
I felt his surprise as he heard my voice in his head, followed by the usual emotions felt when one is caught doing something they're not supposed to be doing. Silently, I floated down the hallway and entered my room, before following my own advice and lying down beneath the satin sheets.
The day that followed was the first quiet April Fools' Day I had experienced since the Titans formed. Pranks were pulled, of course- Cyborg and Robin added some more photographs and videos to their considerable collection of incriminating evidence on each other, and even Starfire got in on the action once. I was left alone, as appreciation for neutralizing the threat of Beast Boy for the day. Beast Boy too, was left alone as he read in his room, for fear of me letting him loose to bring chaos and destruction onto their heads. It was eight thirty when he finally appeared in the common room, book in hand.
"Hey Raven," he said quietly, "I think I'm ready."
I looked over at him, my expression neutral. "Are you sure? I don't want to waste your time if you're not." He waved off my concerns with his right hand, before quickly snapping it back to the book.
"I've read Animal Farm four times already, if I'm not ready now I never will be."
I was impressed. Four times? He was taking this seriously.
"Very well," I said. "Follow me." I led the way down the halls back to my room and entered, leaving the door open behind me. After a few seconds of silence, I turned back to see him standing expectantly outside the door. "You can come in, Beast Boy. I won't bite. Hard."
His eyes betrayed his surprise. "I thought you were… never mind." He took a tentative step into the room and, finding himself still in one piece, relaxed and closed the door behind him. I floated over to my bed and sat down upon it, cross-legged.
"Come over and make yourself comfortable," I said, patting the bed beside me. He followed my instructions, propping himself up against the headboard and facing me.
"So… let's talk," he said, indicating that I was to initiate the discussion. Very well, I had no problem with that at all.
"Sure. First off, tell me what you thought about the story as a whole..."
Three hours of one of the most fascinating literary discussions I'd ever had later, we finally found ourselves out of things to talk about. I was very impressed- I hadn't expected Beast Boy to have known nearly as much about Stalinism as he had. While I hadn't actually believed him to be stupid for quite some time now, I found myself in awe of how much I had underestimated him.
I was pulled from my thoughts as Beast Boy yawned loudly. Floating his way, I sat myself down beside him and laid my hands on his. "Beast Boy," I started, "you did a fine job, and I'm very proud of you. I hardly expected you to read it carefully, much less read it carefully four times." I felt the magic withdraw from his hands, releasing the hold that the book had on him. As I pulled my arms back into my cloak, he started talking again.
"Raven," I corrected automatically.
"Raven, to be honest, I kinda resented this, at first." That was not unexpected, but I still wasn't happy about it. "You know, April Fools' is my thing, and falling for your prank pretty much killed it."
I don't know how he did it, but he managed to make me feel guilty about protecting the team and myself from his pranks. He was good.
"But you know what Rae?" he asked.
"Raven," I answered.
"Having done this, and knowing what I know now, if I could go back to last night I would still pick up this book."
Alright, that was unexpected.
"Really," he continued, "I had a good time just reading and relaxing and talking with you. I can see actually why you like these things so much." He looked away, and I could swear that I saw a faint change in color in his cheeks. "Anyways… I don't suppose I could, uh, borrow this book for a little while?" Yes, I definitely saw his cheeks flushing.
"Of course you can," I said. He turned back to face me, and I gave him a genuine smile, laughing inwardly as his eyes widened and his blush intensified. "Keep it as long as you want." Looking over to my bedside table, I took note of the time. "By the way, you have fifteen minutes of April Fools' Day left. I think you might be able to pull off at least one prank this year."
He grinned from ear to ear before dashing forward and catching me in a hug and surprising the daylights out of me. "You're the best, Rae!" he exclaimed, before nabbing my book- his book- and dashing out the door before I could even correct his misuse of my name.
I needed to meditate.
An hour later, I emerged from my trance and made my preparations for sleep. As I did so, I reached out and checked on my teammates. All of them were asleep, although Robin (for reasons I suspected Beast Boy played a part in) was feeling particularly uneasy. When I came across Beast Boy's mind, however, I found myself pleasantly surprised. For the first time since Terra had left us, his sleep was untroubled. I let that thought soak in for a few seconds before crawling into bed. If he could have pleasant dreams, perhaps there was hope for me yet.
They say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
I think I ripped someone off.

CO2 is a by-product of traditional power generation and contributes to the greenhouse effect. A lack of cost-effective CO2 supply is the single largest barrier to exploiting CO2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) production for light and heavy oil.
Inventys utilizes a thermal swing adsorption gas separation process that removes CO2 from industrial flue gas streams using significantly less energy and requiring lower capital costs than competing systems.
Large oil and gas companies are prioritizing low cost CO2 capture as a strategic imperative. The capital efficiency offered through Inventys will make EOR and carbon sequestration economically viable while helping oil production and refining, gas processing and chemical companies reduce their environmental impact.
Inventys' technology is projecting a capture cost of $15 per ton of CO2 (less than one fifth the cost of incumbent processes). In addition to this, the Inventys founding management and advisory teams are made up of recognized world leaders in the use of structured adsorbents for gas separation, including Dr. Steven Chu, a Nobel laureate and former US Secretary of Energy from 2009-2013. Together, they are responsible for more than 300 technical papers and an extensive list of patents in the field of adsorption and adsorption processes.
With the potential to enable the production of billions of barrels of stranded oil reserves within North America alone, Inventys' technology could be a game changer for the oil and gas industry. In the long term, Inventys could pave the way towards carbon-neutral power generation.

Vocalist Bruce Dickinson had the following comments on the tour:
We have great fun playing the History of Maiden Tours because it gives us an opportunity between new albums to go out and play songs from our earlier catalogue. It's always fantastic seeing the crowd reaction from a new generation of fans who have never experienced some of these tracks performed live before, and of course we know our longstanding fans will enjoy seeing the original Seventh Son Tour re-visited - with many other surprises! Our intention is to play about two thirds of the original track list of Maiden England (shown below*), including some songs we have not played live in a very,very long time, plus other favourites we just know the fans are going to want to hear! We always try to give our fans a great show musically, but we have always tried to make it as entertaining and memorable an experience as we can visually. And we all feel this show is going to do that splendidly! We can't wait to get started in Charlotte.More...
Trivium Performs Acoustic Iron Maiden Cover
American metalcore act Trivium has posted a new live video online featuring its cover of the Iron Maiden classic, "Iron Maiden." The clip was filmed during the band's recent unplugged performance for Tampa Bay, Florida radio station 98Rock. You can check out Trivium's cover of "Iron Maiden" below.
Iron Maiden To Release "En Vivo!" DVD
Iron Maiden announced that it will release a new Double DVD/Blu-ray and Double Live Album entitled "En Vivo!" on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 (North America) and March 26, 2012 (World) through Universal Music Enterpriese. The album will also be released on double vinyl LP on April 10, 2012.
Concert footage was filmed on April 10, 2011, in front of over 50,000 fans in Santiago, Chile at the Estadio Nacional during the band's "Round The World In 66 Days" portion of The Final Frontier World Tour.
Bassist Steve Harris commented on the release: "For The Final Frontier Tour, it was really important to me that we filmed in South America as we're always so overwhelmed by the fans' reaction when we go to that part of the world and I wanted to reflect that in the filming. After much consideration, we chose the Santiago show as we felt it was one of our best performances of the entire tour and to play at the prestigious Estadio Nacional was a landmark moment for us. For reasons known to our fans, it took a long time before we got to play our first show in Chile, and once we did get to play a show, the response was so phenomenal we just had to keep coming back, and it's got better and better each time!"
A trailer for the release can be seen here: More...
Narrator Behind Iron Maiden Intro Passes Away
Barry Clayton, the London actor/narrator and man behind the iconic intro to the Iron Maiden song "Number of the Beast," has passed away at the age of 80 due to causes unknown at this time. His deep baritone voice became indelibly etched into several radio shows and movie trailers, and Clayton was also known for his role in black television and radio. He produced the pioneering radio show "Black Londoners" from 1974-88 and also narrated the children's show "Count Duckula." His sinister intro on the Iron Maiden song is something almost every metalhead knows by heart:
"Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who have understanding
Reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty six."
Clayton had lived the past 40 years in the Greater London suburb on Islington. More...
Primal Rock Rebellion Posts Video
Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith and former SikTh front-man Mikee Goodman have joined forces for a brand new studio project called Primal Rock Rebellion. Adrian also plays bass throughout the album. All songs were co-written by Adrian and Mikee as individual pieces of work and recorded in creative windows of opportunity.
Adrian comments "It was interesting doing this album with Mikee not least because we have quite different influences. I was really pleased with the way it turned out. It has a really fresh feel to it." Mikee explains "This album takes you on a really deep and colourful journey, lyrically and musically. Adrian and I were both very open to experimenting with each others' musical styles and influences, which we feel created something new and exciting."
Session musicians who also contributed to this forthcoming album include Abi Fry of Bat For Lashes, plus original SikTh member Dan 'Lord' Foord on drums, amongst others. The resulting album is due for simultaneous worldwide release on Spinefarm Records on 27th February 2012. Check out the advance video for "I See Lights" below. More...
The Rockstar Ramblings: 1981 M/F/K
30 years ago the bands Anthrax, Metallica, Motley Crue, Pantera, Queensryche, and Slayer were formed. It was also the year many important hard rock/heavy metal albums were released, laying the groundwork for the eighties. Here's a look back at ten of these classic albums in no particular order. Same as the "1986 M/F/K" edition there is a twist as Marry/Fuck/Kill rules apply. It's as simple as it sounds. M (Marry) is a song you want to "save" and listen to forever, F (Fuck) is the song you get one more listen to and that is it, and K (Kill) is the song you want to go away and never be heard from again.

Metallica Voted "Most Influential Rock Band"

"It gives me a very warm and fuzzy feeling that Kerrang! magazine have voted Metallica as the band that most changed their lives. I remember the first issue of the magazine in 1981. I had made a pilgrimage to England because I was obsessed with the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. I travelled all over the country and that first issue accompanied me everywhere."
The poll, which was voted on by Kerrang readers, is included in the next issue of the magazine, which celebrates 30 years since its launch in June 1981.
The top 10 bands included:
1. Metallica
2. Green Day
3. Iron Maiden

NoCleanSinging Discusses Pros And Cons Of Covers
NoCleanSinging.com has posted an editorial online on the pros and cons of covers, after hearing the Anachronaeon cover of Iron Maiden's "Wasting Love." An excerpt from the editorial can be viewed below.
Song covers that just faithfully reproduce an original song don't add anything. Why would anyone listen to a reproduction when you can listen to the original? That point seems inarguable. So, if a cover needs to be different from the original to be worth hearing, what makes a cover succeed and what makes it fail?
I think the answer depends to some extent on the popularity of the original song and how you, as a listener, feel about it. If it's a great song, a well-remembered song, the kind of song that welcomingly unfolds in your head as soon as you hear the first few notes, then a band that alters that song in a cover is playing with fire. I think for a cover of that kind of song to work, the cover band almost has to change it dramatically. Making minor alterations around the edges can be jarring — you mind is playing one thing in your head from memory, and here and there the cover recording is doing something else that you're unlikely to hear as an improvement on the original.
On the other hand, changing a beloved original song in dramatic ways can be equally off-putting — or it can be a wonderful surprise. It all depends on whether the cover song can stand on its own as something interestingly different, on whether the cover band has found something in the original that it can run with, maintaining a connection to the original but spinning out a variation that can stand on its own two legs as a good piece of music. There's no formula for how to do this.
Two covers I've heard recently (and written about) jump to mind as examples of what works. One is Amon Amarth's cover of System of A Down's "Aerials", which appeared as a bonus track on Surtur Rising. Another is Torture Division's cover of a Mastodon song called "Iron Tusk." Both songs imprint the cover band's own particular style on the original, creating something different and good, without completely losing connection with the originals.

Shadowside Comments On Iron Maiden Show
As was previously announced, Iron Maiden had to cancel last night's show in Brazil due to the security barricade collapsing. Shadowside has now issued the following statement about the show:
"Brazilian female-fronted metal band Shadowside performed last night at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The band was supporting Iron Maiden, that was unfortunately forced to cancel the concert and reschedule it to tonight due to problems with the security barricade.
"Despite several websites confirming that Shadowside will play again tonight, the promoter company Mondo Entretenimento, trying to solve all problems and organize the new concert, could not tell for sure if there would be technical conditions to keep the Brazilians on the event, thus deciding to keep only Maiden on the rescheduled show.
"Dani Nolden (lead singer), Raphael Mattos (guitars), Ricardo Piccoli (bass) and Fabio Buitvidas (drums) would like to thank everyone around Iron Maiden, Mondo Entretenimento and HSBC Arena for the opportunity, attention and cordiality, as well as the crowd for such a warm reception. All Shadowside members wish Iron Maiden and the fans a great gig tonight.
"On the occasion, Shadowside performed for the first time three new songs that will be on their upcoming album 'Inner Monster Out,' to be released on June 7 on SHP/Universal Music worldwide. 'I'm Your Mind,' 'Disrupted Reality' and 'Gag Order,' the last one already been played during their latest European tour as W.A.S.P.'s special guests, had excellent acceptance during their performance in Rio."
Barricade Collapses At Iron Maiden Show
Video footage has been posted online showing a surging crowd of Iron Maiden fans that caused a security barricade to collapse during the band's concert earlier tonight (Sunday, March 27) at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, forcing the group to cancel its performance. The incident happened during the first song of the band's set, "Satellite 15...The Final Frontier." You can view the video below.

Iron Maiden To Donate Shirt Sales To Japan
British heavy metal legends Iron Maiden have announced that the money made from the sales of their Japanese event shirts will be donated to a charity assisting victims of the recent Sendai earthquake and tsunami. A message from the band's manager Rod Smallwood reads as follows:
"Following the cancellation of both Maiden Tokyo shows due to recent events in Japan, we will be donating the proceeds from sales of the Japanese event shirt available from the Official Iron Maiden Shop (ie. the shirt without tour dates on) to a charity assisting victims of the earthquake. Feedback from our Fanclub Forum suggests our fans fully support this proposal.
"We plan to do likewise with the stock of event shirts currently in Tokyo, which were due to be sold onsite at the Tokyo venue (ie. the shirt with tour dates on). Details will follow as soon as possible as to where these will be available from, once we have worked out shipping, etc.
"The charity we shall be coordinating sales of both events shirts through is the Japanese Red Cross. This is their website for anyone who may want to make a donation.
"Shirts are now available at this location."

Iron Maiden Cancels Japanese Shows
British heavy metal legends Iron Maiden have announced that they have canceled their planned concerts in Japan this weekend, following the natural disasters which occurred in the country yesterday. A message from Japanese promoter Creativeman reads as follows:
"Following the cancellation of Saturday, March 12 show, Iron Maiden's show scheduled at Saitama Super Arena on Sunday, March 13 is now canceled as well, due to obvious safety concerns towards the audience, the artist, and the venue, caused by the earthquake of Friday, March 11. Your ticket for Sunday, March 13 will be refunded. Please contact Creativeman after Monday, March 14 on the refund process. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. TEL: 03-3462-6969 (12pm-6pm weekdays)."
Speaking on the tragic events of yesterday, founding member and bassist Steve Harris commented:
"We are extremely saddened by the calamitous events of the last day or so which led to the cancellation or our two shows in Tokyo. Our deepest sympathies go out to everyone affected by this disaster - our fans in Japan, the people of Japan and those in many other places suffering from the Tsunami. We are also aware that a number of fans flew into Tokyo from various parts of the world to see a Maiden show there and we hope you guys are safe and sound. We have had a long relationship with this wonderful country and have always been made to feel most welcome - this would have been something like our 16th tour. Our sincerest condolences to all those who have suffered and to the families and friends of those who tragically lost their lives."

AikiWeb Poll for the week of February 8, 2004:
How important is "faith" in your aikido training?
I have "faith" in Aikido. I have "faith" in O'Sensei and my Sensei. I have "faith" in my training community. I have "faith" that I can do this.
"Faith" is very important.
What do you mean by faith? I don't think you mean the religious kind of faith, or blind faith, but I could be wrong. Do you mean, you believe this stuff works out blindly without thinking about it and finding it out for yourself, or something else? It seems like a broad term that many people could interpret differently.
The very question of faith in aikido training doesn't even make sense to me, but maybe that is because I'm a beginner.
can you rephrase the question?
Hello Jun,
I don't understand what you mean in this question; can you possibly either explain what you mean or rephrase the question?
Thanks, Rachel
Hi Guys,
I interpreted this as "Religious faith".
having been dissatisfied with Christianity since I was nine, Aikido has largely replaced it. With trappings from other beliefs that I steal and use as I best see fit ie Zen.
I still have a healthy respect for religions, but like everything else in the human sphere, is open to both brilliance and perversion ( and all shades in between)
So, I use my "religion" to polish myself. Thats hard enough, let alone start trying to change the world.
PS: I think this is a good question. you have to think about the question as well as the answer.:D
There are a lot of ways you could interpret the question, so the most logical way to go about answering it is to find out the intentions of the person asking the question.
I interpret it as "faith I won't break my neck during my latest attempt at a high fall."
Lots of faith in your partner ie: that the limits will be adhered to....
My interpretation, so a lot in this context.
Religous faith?...umm no
Being of the non-native english speaker persuasion the complete meanings and implications of the word faith are not clear to me.
I do trust my teacher and my trainingspartners. I believe in me and I am convinced of the humanity of o sensei.
If you do not believe in Jesus, then Mel Gibson will come to your house and personally kick your ass.
As a student of religions, this is how I interpreted the question.
Aikido is a spiritual path and process. Do you have faith that this path leads towards spiritual realization/enlightenment/maturity?
I don't think it can be a question of theistic faith(relating to god/God/gods), but as means of spiritual development, sure.
I'm not sure what this question is asking either, but....
if we mean faith as in trust, then I think trust is very important in aikido, trust in our partners, trust in our sensei, etc...
but if we mean faith as in religious faith, then I don't think that it has anything to do with it. Aikido can be practiced without regard to western or eastern orthodoxy (or orthopraxy for Islam). I can be atheistic, agnostic, or believe in my "taco bell burrito god", and still practice aikido just the same.
Interesting that this question follows on the heels of whether Uke is ever "wrong". The most pertinent response to that question suggested that "right & wrong" in Aikido is likely related to whether there is injury in practice or not. Morality is therefore dependent upon whether the "result" is intentional or not. However faith might be the belief that whatever happens will always be "right" and never "wrong" result.
Faith is something I need to make a technique work sometimes, but never something I can afford to rely on. When I don't believe that a technique can/should work the way my teacher shows it, it doesn't work very well until I stop doubting and sincerely try it without reservations. At the same time, faith can blind you to problems with your technical execution, so often enough it's good not to have it. Doubt yourself constantly! Doubt your teacher! Question it all!
I don't have "faith" in it...Aikido is simply not my religion.... "trust" it to work though.... is this question out of track??;)
Something tells me Jun is being intentionally vague.
But since it doesn't say "how important is YOUR faith" I will interpret it as faith in what I am practicing.
The only faith I have is that if I keep training, certain things will be revealed to me. But that's faith based on experience which to me is really trust. I only trust based on history. I'm from the "show and prove" school. Prove it and I'll believe it. So in a general sense I have faith in the value of aikido training based on experience. Regarding individual aspects or interpretations of the art that I have not yet experienced or mastered, time will tell.
If Jun IS being vague, then that means any and ALL interpretations are correct and thus... this poll serves only one purpose: to spark a good dialogue!
Faith is my instructor or sempai (teammates? I think that's the word) is more Trust than faith. I trust them all very well. It's trusting in my own ability that I need to work on more than anything.
Faith in the technique and physical dynamics of aikido goes without question in my mind. How many times do you need to see someone thrown into kotegeishi before you get that it is effective??? Duh!
So... take it as you will. I have many answers to chose from. Still, I'd like to hear from Jun on this one.
/poke Jun
/bonk Jun
/taps my foot in Jun's general direction
/taunts Jun a second time!! :D
NO! Faith has nothing to do with a physical activity!!! :disgust:
(1) I meant to throw you hard and hurt you!
(2) I meant to throw you hard, but not hurt you!
If you mean faith in a religious sense, then personally it has no meaning at all.
One of the reasons I like Yoshinkan is that when I was first looking to start training, it was the only dojo I found that didn't spend half the class doing ki exercises or sitting around while Sensei read bits of books to people & discussed it.
I was there to train, not sit around & talk about training... lol
As for faith in the techniques themselves, I think you have to have faith in them. When you doubt your technique, you start to tense up & do unconsciously doing little things that cause your technique to fall to bits totally. It seems like a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I think Aikido depends very much on the latter.
In one case, as one begins to progress in the Way, one must begin to do a lot of "soul-searching" on the meaning of harmony, love and what is the true meaning of the art of peace, and the answer is different and personal for every artist.
In another case, I'm sure there are a lot of scholars (religious and secular) on this board who are more better equip to explain how's one faith, disposition, intent, has an effect on involuntary muscular tension, posture, and demeanor. All of which have an effect on one's performance.
Lastly, one's faith, perceptual filters, has a strong influence in how we as individuals relate to the world, and interact with our partners.
For myself all of these things make up one's faith, whether it is in Science, Allah or the Tao.
:triangle: :circle: :square:
Yeah tho I shikko through the valley of hakama I shall fear no atemi, for I am the biggest baddest hara in the land
There really are some interesting answers on this one, I just can't help being reminded of the "is aikido a cult" thread. As for trusting senseis, this is meant as a joke yes? Trusting their teaching, ok, within reason, but trust the little darlings...
Webster says, faith: 1. confidence or trust in a person or thing. 2. belief that is not based on proof.
According to 1, my answer stands that I have faith in Aikido, my Sensei, my training partners, and myself.
According to 2, I have no faith. I have proof.
IMHO, faith in each other is spiritual though it may not qualify for religious.
Could you please explain me what does "faith" mean? Is it different from faith with no comas? Or from Faith with a capital F? Does this question makes sense or we just have to have "faith" in it?

Pantheon Holdings told me that I would have my machine in 45days (HAY! thats not true). They will find a place for my EZ-Link Terminal (HAY! the ower did not know any thing about it). And they said they would set everything up all I had to do was go twice a week and check on the terminal (HAY!).
I was told I could ask for my money back with in 60 days after my terminal goes in. I ask for my money back because I was not happy on the way things was going. I still have not received money back (AND I DON'T THINK IT WILL HAPPEN).
I really think the Attoreny Generals and better business bureau is in on this ripp-off in Maimi Fl. Something needs to be done about this. IF Martha Stewart that to Pay for that she did, so do these people. ALL OF THEM.

Out With Aggressive Decor
By JOSEPH GIOVANNINI
Published: June 2, 1988
''ITALIAN design: I can't stand it,'' said Diana Agrest, a New York architect. ''It's all so 'designy.' '' Sitting amid the floppy pillows of a roomy sofa she designed for her Upper East Side apartment, she added, ''When I designed this couch, I didn't want a designer's couch but one that was just a couch, not an object of design fetishism.''
Ms. Agrest found, she said, that ''it was hard to make a couch that did not look 'designed,' '' but she canvassed New York measuring ''every couch in town'' and finally created one that looks like a simplified chesterfield crossed with a modern sofa. The three-seater has no skirt, no curves and no upholstery details, and is a design statement about not making a design statement. It is -simply, unremarkably, unapologetically - comfy.
A design boom in the United States and Europe over the last decade has resulted in sometimes overbearing work, everything from living rooms decorated with a temple's worth of columns, to three-legged chairs with jutting seats upholstered in animal graphic fabrics, to apartments that look like a blow-up of a Christian Lacroix dress. In cities like New York and Los Angeles, there has also been a backlash among some designers and clients who, like Peter Finch in the 1976 movie ''Network,'' seem to be yelling out their chintz-draped windows, ''I'm not going to take this anymore.''
''Yes, there's a reaction against overdesign,'' said Hugh Hardy, a principal in Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates, a New York architectural firm. ''There's been so much opulence and aggressive surface treatment.''
''Acid-etched steel and bronze and 24 coats of glaze on every surface: this is not a necessity,'' said John Loring, the senior vice president and design director of Tiffany & Company.
''My students at Parsons are tired of it,'' said Herbert Muschamp, an architecture critic for The New Republic magazine who teaches criticism at the downtown design school. ''They don't want, for example, to look at Memphis design. People don't want to be constantly stimulated; they don't want to live in a discotheque. I'm not saying there should be a return to conservative design, but you want things to reflect your own taste, and when they're overdesigned, you're subordinated to someone else's choices.''
There is no common pattern to the design reactions, which have occurred in small-scale endeavors like Ms. Agrest's couch and large projects like the addition proposed for the Jewish Museum in New York by the Connecticut-based architect Kevin Roche. His design for the new portion duplicates the facade of the existing neo-Gothic structure.
Many who design interiors simplify or neutralize their designs, as the New York firm 1100 Architects did in a recently completed loft renovation in New Jersey.
Some stay very close to the existing interior, as at the Majestic Theater in Brooklyn, where Mr. Hardy renovated the interior by leaving it in a state of decay, sometimes peeling back surfaces to reveal the structure.
For such designers, the idea is to improve an environment through design, but not so that the design itself is the overwhelming focus.
Since Ms. Agrest designed her couch, she and her husband, Mario Gandelsonas, also an architect, elaborated on the idea of nondesign in their vacation home in East Hampton, L.I.
First, rather than building an ''architect's'' house, they found a two-story turn-of-the-century house, which they moved to the site. They furnished the interior with found pieces: simple generic chairs and tables.
''The idea was to be very basic,'' said Ms. Agrest. ''I even went to great lengths to find a simple oven without a black glass door.'' With some difficulty, she and her husband found a simple pine table, with a rich color and straight-edged legs.
''Nothing is 'design designed,' '' she said. ''Nothing has a signature.'' Ms. Agrest believes that highly designed pieces resist acquiring ''personal histories'' - a chest found on a vacation abroad would do this, or an aunt's side table.
''Beginning in the early 80's, I became sensitive to a nondesign appearance,'' said David Piscuskas, a partner in 1100 Architects. ''If it looked 'designed,' it was wrong.''
''We've developed a very nonaggressive design attitude, and try not to do contrived environments,'' he continued. ''The design isn't bland, but at the same time, how uncomfortable it would be if the apartment is basically about somebody else or another time.''
The firm's renovation of a two-bedroom loft for James and Christine Breit in Jersey City, is, indeed, not bland: a tall, wide wall bows dramatically into the living room. But the bowed wall is the single gesture the architects made in a plain industrial shell that has no outstanding features. Elsewhere, the design is restrained: moldings are flush, the materials are modest, the layout is simple. The architects created a strong but understated effect in a bathroom for Kitty Hawks, a vice president of Stendig International.
When Mr. Loring looked for someone to design his new Fifth Avenue apartment, he chose Bonnie Roche, a New York designer, because, he said, ''she was not a 'flying wedge' architect.'' He had first seen a gallery she designed downtown; on entering it, one critic observed, ''So what's the big deal?'' That, according to Mr. Loring, was precisely the point.
''My sense of design doesn't come from a sense of style,'' Miss Roche said. ''It never occurs to me to think how something should look. For me, light and space are the materials to work with.''
For a kitchen and study renovation in the Manhattan duplex of Paloma Picasso and her husband, the playwright Rafael Lopez-Sanchez, Miss Roche worked with few materials in straightforward layouts. In the study, with its plain bookshelves and wood-veneered walls, there are no gratuitous distractions. Ms. Picasso is in fact able to study in the study.
''When I have to go to one of those overdesigned restaurants, I can't taste the food,'' said Michael Kalil, a New York architect. ''I find it too self-conscious, like the appetizer to somebody else's ego. I teach my students to take the design out of design.''
In a recently completed penthouse in Manhattan owned by Morris Kramer, a New York lawyer, Mr. Kalil reduced the space to what he called a ''zero degree of design'': white walls, dark ebony floors and simple space dividers. A serenity pervades the rooms. ''I wanted to bring it down so that the environment is the background, and the person, the center,'' he said, adding that the apartment is not about minimalism, which can be another form of overdesign.
''If you get it down far enough, you lose style, even minimalism.'' He said the penthouse may be ''the most designed thing'' he has ever done, since the simplicity was achieved through very careful detailing.
Overdesign emerged as an issue during deliberations for interior design awards for last month's issue of Architecture, a trade journal published by the American Institute of Architects. ''It was a major question because there was a lot of fluff: tons of marble and tons of wood used for questionable ends,'' said Frederick Fisher, a juror from Santa Monica, Calif. ''We saw many projects with a lot of smoke over no issue.
''Plays of light, space and scale can achieve results at least as strong without the fireworks. The winning projects, like the Majestic Theater, respected the existing conditions of a building. The architects simply pulled back and chose not to do something.''

Amma Says
- There is nothing here except God - that is the truth. Therefore, how can one label some as low and others as high? #Amma
- There is a power that cannot be expressed in words, which we call God. . . . #Amma
- It is only when noble samskaras or culture blend with rejoicing that an occasion becomes a true festival, a celebration.
- Real celebration is forgetting oneself. It is an attitude. We need to have good control over the mind for that. #Amma
- Our purpose is to try to help others to develop devotion for God and to enjoy inner peace. #Amma
- Spirituality is to compassionately consider others. #Amma
