In New Jersey, Both Parties Find Tumult in Senate Primaries
By DAVID KOCIENIEWSKI
Published: January 31, 2000
TRENTON, Jan. 30— One race is a free-for-all: five Republican contenders scrambling to emerge from the long shadow of Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, New Jersey's pre-eminent political figure.
The other is a civil war: a fight between two Democrats that is so fractious and bitter it threatens to split the state party into rival camps divided by geography and social class.
Unlike New York, where voters are facing a clear choice for United States senator -- the Democrat, Hillary Rodham Clinton, or the Republican, Rudolph W. Giuliani -- New Jersey is mired in two intriguing primaries. The battle to succeed Senator Frank R. Lautenberg is being waged in two parties without a dominant figure, and so it promises to redefine each party as they prepare to fight for New Jersey's ultimate prize: the governor's office in 2001.
Republicans, who have been dominated for seven years by Mrs. Whitman, were left reeling in September, when the governor ended her bid to succeed Mr. Lautenberg, a Democrat. Since then, the collection of Senate hopefuls has been raising money and trying to build alliances to fill part of the power vacuum that will open when Mrs. Whitman leaves office in January 2002.
Meanwhile, the state's Democrats, whose field has been narrowed to two main contenders, former Gov. Jim Florio and a political novice, Jon S. Corzine, have been struggling to keep the clash from leaving the party irreparably divided after the June 6 primary.
Mr. Florio, a tireless campaigner, has been rallying the loyalists he has cultivated during his 20 years on the party's political scene. But the powerful party bosses in North Jersey fear that voters will never forgive Mr. Florio for raising income taxes by $2.8 billion in 1990 and have rallied behind Mr. Corzine, a former chairman of Goldman, Sachs & Company.
Their campaigns have exchanged barbs over bedrock Democratic issues like gun control, education, Social Security and even the death penalty. But behind the scenes, the fight has been a struggle for the soul of the party, with battle lines drawn between wealthy voters and the working class, between northern power brokers and their rivals in the south, and between various political bosses and rank-and-file Democrats.
''Democrats have to figure out whether they can trust a new Democrat, a candidate with liberal views, fiscal responsibility and a fat bank account,'' said David Rebovich, a political science professor at Rider University, referring to Mr. Corzine. ''Republicans have to determine whether there's someone who can carry on Governor Whitman's ability to put together a winning coalition and keep the party from fragmenting ideologically.''
''Then,'' Mr. Rebovich said, ''they can all set their sights on winning the real patronage trough, the governor's mansion.''
Much of the maneuvering is a result of the fact that New Jersey places more power in its governor's office than virtually any other state. Except for the two United States senators, the governor is the only statewide elected official and appoints powerful cabinet members like the treasurer and attorney general, as well as influential judges. With no statewide stepping-stone offices, the political landscape resembles ''Gulliver's Travels'' -- a gigantic governor surrounded by swarms of Lilliputians.
To Republicans, that means the roster of actual candidates for the Senate seat is less a political ''Who's Who'' than a ''Who's That?''
Two of the state's most powerful Republicans, Donald T. DiFrancesco, president of the State Senate, and Jack Collins, the Assembly speaker, opted out of the Senate race because they are interested in succeeding Mrs. Whitman. The elder statesman of the state party, former Gov. Thomas H. Kean, disappointed many Republicans by not entering the fray. Steve Forbes is still pursuing his long-shot bid for the Republican presidential nomination and, despite the urging of party leaders in Washington, has shown no interest in running for Senate.
Instead, the contestants are five lesser-known figures with limited political bases: State Senator William L. Gormley, United States Representative Bob Franks, and the Essex County executive, James W. Treffinger, who are all moderates. Two conservatives are also running: Murray Sabrin, a former Libertarian Party candidate for governor, and Brian T. Kennedy, a lawyer.
In the months since the governor withdrew from the race, Mr. Gormley, Mr. Franks and Mr. Treffinger have been furiously lobbying members of the party establishment, and endorsements have been doled out largely along geographical lines.
Endorsements by county party chairmen are crucial in New Jersey politics, because in many counties, chairmen can choose which candidate's name runs on the party line in the primary, giving them a sizable advantage with the loyalists who go to the polls in primaries.
Mr. Gormley, an ex-marine and chairman of the powerful State Senate judiciary committee, is the sole moderate from South Jersey. Mr. Franks and Mr. Treffinger both have political bases in North Jersey, which is far more densely populated than the south. And all three men have been battling for support in Monmouth County, along the Jersey Shore.

Earthsea is a series by Ursula K. Le Guin, starting with her short story "The Word of Unbinding," published in 1964. Earthsea became the setting for six books, beginning with A Wizard of Earthsea, first published in 1968, and continuing with The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore, Tehanu, Tales from Earthsea, and The Other Wind. All are set in the world of Earthsea, as are eight short stories by Le Guin.
The world of Earthsea is one of sea and islands: a vast archipelago of hundreds of islands surrounded by mostly uncharted ocean. Earthsea contains no large continents, with the archipelago resembling Indonesia or the Philippines. The largest island, Havnor, at approximately 380 miles across, is about the size of Great Britain. The cultures of Earthsea are not direct analogues of those of our world, but are literate non-industrial civilizations. Technologically, Earthsea is an early Iron Age society, with bronze used in places where iron is scarce. Ged's father is a bronze-smith. Weapons also include the use of wood and other hard but easily crafted metals. The overall climate of Earthsea is temperate, comparable to the mid-latitudes (over a distance of about 1800 miles) of the Northern hemisphere. There is a yearly transition from warm summers to cold and snowy winters, especially in northern islands like Gont and Osskil. In the southern regions of Earthsea it can be much warmer.
The racial characteristics of the people of Earthsea are for the most part "red-brown" in coloring, like Native Americans; in the South and East Reach and on Way, they are much darker brown, but with straight black hair, like Indians, particularly Dravidians; in Osskil, they have a more European look,[1] although still with dark skin, rather like the peoples of the Middle East and Mediterranean, and the Kargs resemble predominantly blond northern Europeans. Le Guin has criticized what she describes as the general assumption in fantasy that characters should be white and the society should resemble the Middle Ages.[2]
Magic is a central part of life in most of Earthsea, with the exception of the Kargish lands, where it is banned. There are weather workers on ships, fixers who repair boats and buildings, entertainers, and court sorcerers. Magic is an inborn talent which can be developed with training. The most gifted are sent to the school on Roke, where, if their skill and their discipline prove sufficient, they can become staff-carrying wizards. A strong theme of the stories is the connection between power and responsibility. There is often a Taoist message: "good" wizardry tries to be in harmony with the world, while "bad" wizardry, such as necromancy, can lead to an upsetting of the "balance" and threaten catastrophe. While the dragons are more powerful, they act instinctively to preserve the balance. Only humans pose a threat to it.
The Dry Land is where the people of the archipelago and reaches of Earthsea go when they die. It is a realm of shadow and dust, of eternal night where the stars are fixed in the sky, and nothing changes. The souls who live there have an empty, dreary existence, and even "lovers pass each other in silence". Le Guin has stated that the idea of the Dry Land came from the "Greco-Roman idea of Hades' realm, from certain images in Dante Alighieri's work, and from one of Rainer Maria Rilke's Elegies."[3]
Short stories[edit]
As of mid-2015, Le Guin has published eight short stories of Earthsea. Seven appear in two collections of her work (and some have been reissued elsewhere). Two early stories were originally published in 1964 and were collected in The Wind's Twelve Quarters (Harper & Row, 1975). These helped to define the setting of Earthsea. Five much later stories were collected in Tales from Earthsea (Harcourt, 2001), where three were original.[4] In October 2014 a new novella set in Earthsea was published as a stand-alone, "The Daughter of Odren".[5][6]
Tales from Earthsea also includes about thirty pages of fictional reference material titled "A Description of Earthsea" (2001) and cataloged as short fiction by ISFDB.[4]

There have been a number of audiobook readings by different narrators and publishers.[7] In the early 1990s, Robert Inglis narrated the first three books of the series for Recorded Books.[8]
A BBC-produced two-hour radio dramatisation of A Wizard of Earthsea was originally broadcast on Radio 4 on December 26, 1996. This adaptation was narrated by Dame Judi Dench, with Michael Maloney as Ged, and used a wide range of actors with different regional and social accents to emphasize the origins of the Earthsea characters (for instance, Estarriol and others from the East Reach were played by actors with Southern Welsh accents).[9] The adaptation was subsequently released on audio cassette.
In April and May 2015, BBC Radio 4 aired a new, six-part dramatisation of the Earthsea works, encompassing the storylines and motifs of the novels A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan and The Farthest Shore.[10] The first of the six 30 minute-long episodes premiered on April 27 and the last on May 5. The characters of Ged and Tenar were portrayed by three different actors at different stages in their lives (Kasper Hilton-Hille, James McArdle and Shaun Dooley as Ged; Nishi Malde, Aysha Kala and Vineeta Rishi as Tenar). The radio drama was adapted by Judith Adams, directed by Sasha Yevtushenko and featured original music composed by Jon Nicholls. Following the premiere radio broadcast, each of the episodes were made available for online streaming on BBC Radio 4 Extra for a month, via the BBC iPlayer service.[11] The adaptation was created and aired as part of a thematic month centered on the life and works of Ursula Le Guin, in commemoration of her then-recent 85th birthday.[12] In addition to the Earthsea radio drama, the thematic month included the airing of a two-part radio adaptation of The Left Hand of Darkness earlier in April, as well as exclusive interviews with Le Guin and some of the writers she inspired.[13][14][15]
The U.S.-based Sci Fi Channel broadcast in December 2004 a three-hour loose adaptation for television of A Wizard of Earthsea and The Tombs of Atuan, entitled Legend of Earthsea (later, simply Earthsea). It was broadcast in two parts on Channel 4 in the UK at Easter 2005. Sci Fi Channel had angered Le Guin[16] and fans of the Earthsea novels with its announcement that Ged and the vast majority of the other characters would be played by Caucasians and with the dramatis personæ posted on an official website. The latter revealed several original characters – such as "The Archmagus" and "King Tygath", "Diana", "Penelope", and "Marion" – and it referred to "Kargide" characters rather than Kargad, Karg, or Kargish. The religious practices of Atuan were portrayed differently in the adaptation, and the celibacy of Earthsea wizards overlooked as Ged and Tenar become sexually involved.[citation needed]
One month before the U.S. broadcast, Le Guin posted on her website "A Reply to Some Statements Made by the Film-Makers" published in the December 2004 issue of Sci Fi Magazine. She opened with the observation, "I've tried very hard to keep from saying anything at all about this production, being well aware that movies must differ in many ways from the books they're based on, and feeling that I really had no business talking about it, since I was not included in planning it and was given no part in discussions or decisions." (Director Robert Lieberman, too, had stated that she was not involved.)[17]
"That makes it particularly galling of the director to put words in my mouth."[17] Le Guin disavowed some specific interpretations both by Lieberman and by executive director Robert Halmi Sr., and concluded (quoting Lieberman):
I wonder if the people who made the film of The Lord of the Rings had ended it with Frodo putting on the Ring and ruling happily ever after, and then claimed that that was what Tolkien "intended ..."[,] would people think they'd been "very, very honest to the books"?[17]
Studio Ghibli's 2006 film, Tales from Earthsea, is loosely based in the Earthsea mythology. It was directed by Gorō Miyazaki, the son of Hayao Miyazaki. In the past, Le Guin had rejected Hayao Miyazaki's offer to create a film based on the series, but due to her love of his films, Le Guin granted Studio Ghibli the rights.[18] The story is based mainly on elements of the third and fourth novels of Earthsea.[citation needed] Le Guin has stated that she found the adaptation "disappointing" and "entirely different" from her creation.[18]

Moly Resin is a product trademark of John Norrell Inc. The thermally cured coatings are formulated from a phenolic resin base and molybdenum disulfide (a superior lubricant) with an exclusive blend of additives that create a phenolic coating that is a hard, durable, chemical and heat resistant state-of-the-art finish. Our low temperature catalyst hardens and bonds the coating to the surface to form a barrier to acids, oils, paint removers, powder solvents, bore cleaners and other strong industrial solvents. The low curing temperature also prevents possible heat damage to parts during the curing process. Moly Resin§ thermally cured coatings were developed for ordnance usage on equipment and weapons, providing excellent corrosion protection, abrasion resistance and lubricity to meet automatic weapon dry firing requirements. Available ready to apply. No thinning or dilution is needed.
Moly Resin§ thermal cure coating will adhere to properly prepared metal surfaces including the following: aluminum, steel, stainless steel, cast iron, titanium, copper, and silver solder joints. The best prepared surface is freshly air blasted metal. An existing parkerized surface also provides excellent adhesion.
GLOSSY BLACK -Very glossy black that looks like a black "blue-job" wet with oil.
SEMI-GLOSS BLACK - Black in coloration with a slight gloss that is similar in appearance to the H&K (Heckler & Koch) type finish. Good match to H&K, UZI, and other similar semi-gloss black gun coatings.
BLACK Flat (Matte)¡V Black in coloration with a non-reflective dull matte appearance to match the late Colt AR-15 and M-16 coloration. Norrell Manufacturing supplies this Mil-Spec finish to the sub-contractors that manufacture USSOCOM (U.S. Special Operations Command) products for H&K and the U.S. Military such as the sound suppressor for the H&K Mark 23 SOCOM .45 Cal. pistol used by the Navy Seals and Special Forces. It is also used by a number of firearm manufacturers.
GRAYISH-BLACK Flat- Dark gray-black flat coloration that duplicates the appearance of the earlier Colt AR-15/M-16 finish. In addition to the standard grayish-black color, a slight green tint/hue desired by military collectors can also be achieved by modifying the curing process. See instructions.
NEW ! GRAYISH-BLACK SEMI-GLOSS (SATIN) ¡V Gray-Black Semi-Gloss is slightly more glossy than the Flat Gray-Black product commonly used to duplicate the Colt AR-15 Model SP1 and M16A1 rifles of the 1970s and 1980s. The satin gloss may make the color appear just a little darker than the Flat Grayish-Black product.
GRAY Flat ¡V A match to older gray military parkerizing including some very early Colt and Armalite M-16 rifles. This is one shade lighter our Grayish-Black flat.
LIGHT GRAY- Flat ¡V A lighter gray with no black tones.
GRAYISH-GREEN Flat - This is a darker version of basic U.S. Military O.D. Green and is the same color as US Military ammo cans.
GREEN Flat (Olive Drab) Olive drab green is the official color of US uniforms from WWII through the introduction of camouflage patterned BDU's in the 80's.
FOLIAGE GREEN Flat -A greenish shade of grey found along with slate grey and sand colors in the Army's new UCP (Universal Camouflage Pattern) on ACU uniforms. This color is sometimes called Lichen or Agave Green, Magpul Foliage Green and Tango Down.
TAN Flat - Tan Flat is the new U.S. Military mid-east desert tan 30118 color, fed standard 595B. Also known as FDE (Flat Dark Earth.)
BROWN Flat - Basic U.S. Military brown flat.
RED, WHITE, BLUE,YELLOW Flat, and PINK(Satin) ¡V Medium blue, red, white and yellow. (Yellow and pink require a white base undercoat to get full best color.)
CLEAR - Moly Resin without any coloration. May be used over cured colored coatings or directly on metal.
STAINLESS STEEL - The appearance of glass beaded stainless steel when applied over any type of metal. A pleasantly surprising match to real stainless. Used primarily to color match scope rings, bases, and other accessories parts, etc. when they are not available in stainless.
NEW ! COYOTE BROWN Flat ¡V This is a more recent color match used by numerous AR15 polymer stock and forearm manufacturers. Just slightly darker than standard Tan Flat Dark Earth. Manufacturers of polymer parts may have slightly different shades of their desired colors in each run of parts. Test spray first.
NEW ! Magpul STEALTH GRAY Flat ¡V Matched to Magpul Stealth Gray stocks and forearms. Manufacturers of polymer parts may have slightly different shades of their desired colors in each run of parts. Test spray first.
NEW ! Magpul O.D. GREEN Flat ¡V Matched to Magpul O.D. Green stocks and forearms. Manufacturers of polymer parts may have slightly different shades of their desired colors in each run of parts. Test spray first.
NEW ! Magpul TAN Flat - ¡V Matched to Magpul Tan (Flat Dark Earth) stocks and forearms. Manufacturers of polymer parts may have slightly different shades of their desired colors in each run of parts. Test spray first.

Acromegaly (cont.)
When to Seek Medical Care
Any of thesesymptoms, if it lasts for more than a few weeks, warrants a visit to your health care provider. Serious symptoms such as shortness of breath or chest pain warrant immediate attention.
Exams and Tests
Acromegaly is not an easy diagnosis, and it is often missed by health care providers. Some of the signs and symptoms of acromegaly are very distinctive. Others are subtle and can bemisinterpreted. They are not always recognized as acromegaly because they develop so slowly. Enlargement of the hands, feet, or face is most often caused by accumulation of fluid in edematous states, but it can also be a finding of growth hormone excess from acromegaly.
If suspicious, your health care provider may ask you about your symptoms, other medical problems now and in the past, your family members' medical problems, what medications you take, your work history, your habits and lifestyle, and many other questions. A detailed physical examination will look for signs and symptoms that clarify the diagnosis.
Lab tests
If your health care provider suspects acromegaly, he or she will order blood tests to help confirm that diagnosis.
Random measurement of growth hormone in the blood is usually not useful, as levels of the hormone fluctuate unpredictably. IGF-1 level is much more stable and predictable than growth hormone level. Thus, measurement of IGF-1 level is considered the most reliable test for acromegaly.
Because growth hormone secretion is inhibited by glucose (blood sugar), some health care providers measure what is called "glucose non suppressibility."
The following tests may be ordered if your health care provider thinks they would be helpful:
Imaging studies
After acromegaly has been confirmed by growth hormone and IGF-1 levels, you will probably undergo a CT scan or MRI of the head to confirm that you have an adenoma in your pituitary gland. If no pituitary tumor is detected, your health care provider will continue searching until the source of the excess growth hormone is found.

PALMYRA � On Thursday, Dec. 19, Palmyra-Macedon residents will cast ballots on a $6.3 million building project plan. Balloting will take place from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m in the High School Band Room, 151 Hyde Parkway.
On tap is the replacing of 3.7 acres of high school roofing, fire-suppression work in kitchens, updating of alarm systems, some paving and floor and tile fixes. The roof portion alone is about 85 percent of the project cost.
A 33-member Facility Improvement Committee was formed in February and spent four months looking at buildings and talking to experts, prioritizing what needed to be done. The committee, in its July report, recommended a list of items that needed immediate attention. That list was pared down to make the $6.3 million project.
The list was pared because board members were concerned about fix-it items in buildings that may not be in the district�s future, like the Primary and Intermediate schools. If the district consolidates to one campus � something the committee recommended be studied completely � the Primary and Intermediate buildings could be superfluous.
Ralph Brongo, assistant superintendent for business, explained that the $6.3 million would be funded with nearly $4.59 million in state aid and $1.7 out of the district�s capital reserves. No tax increases will be needed, he said.
If the referendum passes, construction would begin in the summer of 2015. In between, state approval, design and construction document preparations would occur.

Cyberman: Feelings? I do not understand that word.
The Doctor: Emotions. Love. Pride. Hate. Fear. Have you no emotions, sir?
Cyberman: Come to Mondas and you will have no need of emotions. You will become like us.
The Doctor: Emotions. Love. Pride. Hate. Fear. Have you no emotions, sir?
Cyberman: Come to Mondas and you will have no need of emotions. You will become like us.
"Ah, yes. It's good. Thank you. Keep warm."The first overwhelming Wham Episode of the series. The First Doctor embarks on his final adventure, having reached the precipice of his body's lifespan.The TARDIS materialises at the South Pole in the far future of 1986, where a manned space probe is being talked down to Earth by a Space Tracking Station. The capsule is in difficulty, the Doctor realises, because of the gravitational pull of another planet that is moving toward Earth.This planet turns out to be Mondas, Earth's "twin planet" from long ago, and is now the home of the Cybermen, a race of human-like beings who have over many centuries replaced their limbs and organs with metal and plastic. The Cybermen attack the tracking station while Mondas starts to drain Earth's energy. Ben stops General Cutler, in command of the station, from launching a powerful "Z-Bomb" to destroy the Cybermen and Mondas eventually disintegrates from absorbing too much energy.The Cybermen are apparently entirely dependent on their planet, as once it is gone they all collapse and die.The Doctor is also weakened and hurries back to the TARDIS, followed by Polly and Ben. Once inside, he collapses and the TARDIS takes off of its own accord. Before the humans' astonished eyes, the Doctor's face glows and becomes that of a completely different man...
— The First Doctor says what would become his Famous Last Words.
This was William Hartnell's last story as the incumbent Doctor, and the debut of Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor, in the first instance of regeneration on screen. Since this was just an experimental plot element at the time, the actor changeover occurred partway through Season 4, an unusual move that would not be repeated with future actors set to leave the role of the Doctor. Later regenerations would normally not take place until a respective season finale or end-of-year special to cap off that Doctor's tenure. A few of the Doctor's regenerations have been depicted under unique circumstances, when they were sudden plot twists or "past due", so to speak. Regeneration was not an ability exclusive to the Doctor, as it would be explained as a feature of the Doctor's species and demonstrated by others like him as well.Episode 4 is, unfortunately, reduced to audio with stills and scene directions (although footage of the regeneration itself survives). An animated reconstruction of the fourth episode has been produced for the story's DVD release, initially in June 2013 as part of a Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition box set of all the Doctor's final stories, and later on its own.
- Accent Upon The Wrong Syllable: Theeee CYbermen have A biZARRE singSONG ACcent.
- Air-Vent Passageway. Used by Ben to get to the missile to sabotage it. According to the DVD commentary, the first example in the history of Doctor Who.
- All Your Base Are Belong to Us: Twice at Snowcap, and at the space agency HQ and reportedly other major government and military sites in the final episode.
- Apocalypse How: Somewhere between Classes 4 and X, according to the Cybermen, although the Cybermen offer to rescue what humans they can as long as they accept Cyberconversion once they get to Mondas. Mondas itself suffers a Class X at the conclusion of the story.
- Armor-Piercing Question: A Cyberman to Polly: "I do not understand you. There are people dying all over your world, yet you do not "care" about them."
- Artistic License - Astronomy: Exactly how the Z-Bomb would make Mondas explode like a supernova is never explained, nor is there any major gravitational effect on the Earth from a planet of equal size coming close enough to distort the orbits of spacecraft in low earth orbit, or how the disintegration of said planet left the Earth unaffected.
- Benched Hero: Happens to William Hartnell frequently during the third season, but it is especially apparent here. The Doctor is absent entirely from episode 3 due to Hartnell's health that week, and even in the episodes where he appears his role is much reduced as he sits on the sidelines for much of the story, held prisoner either by the Cybermen or by General Cutler.
- Black Dude Dies First: Unbuilt Trope. Though the astronaut played by black actor Earl Cameron does die halfway through episode two, he's not the first to go. The Sarge and Tito die first, killed by the Cybermen at the end of episode 1 and the beginning of episode 2 respectively. Normally this would be an aversion, but the trope had yet to actually be established.
- Body Horror: The point of the Cybermen's cloth faces and bare arms.
- Chest Blaster: Actually a gun kept on a chest bracket when not it use. And a bit lower than the chest, which sometimes leads to unintentional humour.
- Creepy Monotone: Quasi-example the Cybermen talk in bizarre, alternating, almost singsong tones which nonetheless carry no emotion.
- Culture Clash: The Cybermen genuinely don't understand why the Humans don't wish to cooperate with their plans.
- Early Installment Character-Design Difference: The Cybermen in this story have many more visible humanoid parts than in any later story, making them look less streamlined but adding extra Body Horror.
- Earth-Shattering Kaboom: The major threat for both planets during the final two episodes.
- Exty Years from Now
- Fake Shemp: The "Doctor passes out at the start of an episode for no clearly explained reason" plot device gets one last outing at the start of Episode 3. William Hartnell collapsed with bronchitis and had to take a week off. As a result, Hartnell's regular body double Gordon Craig plays the Doctor for Episode 3, and the lines originally written for the Doctor were given to Ben, Polly and Barclay. Craig also doubles for Hartnell in the "exterior" scenes in episode 1 as the TARDIS crew are arrested and taken into the base.
- Hartnell's absence for Episode 3 actually works in the story's favor, as it means the Doctor summoned enough energy for a "once more unto the breach" and you can tell he's dying as Episode 4 progresses.
- Five Rounds Rapid: Averted! The Cybermen are Immune to Bullets, but the Snowcap personnel quickly manage to get hold of some Cyberguns, which work perfectly well. Played straight, however, with Cutler's death.
- General Ripper: General Cutler.
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: The photos from girly mags (some very revealing by sixties standards) glued up by Tito's bunk.
- Multinational Team: At both Snowcap and the space agency headquarters.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Ben after he kills a Cyberman in self-defence.
- National Stereotypes: The Italian soldier has pin-up photos all over his bunk and perves over Polly, and the American General is a trigger-happy nut.
- No Ontological Inertia: Played with: the Cybermen draw power from Mondas, thus it makes sense that its destruction means their death. But rather than simply falling down dead when Mondas is destroyed, their organic parts out-and-out disintegrate.
- The Nth Doctor: The first notable example.
- Nuke 'em: Cutler's plan in Episode 3, despite what would have been catastrophic results for Earth.
- Sheathe Your Sword: Mondas blows up on its own, killing all the Cybermen, and Cutler's attempts to take more aggressive action would have led only to disaster.
- Stay in the Kitchen: The space program has men from all over the world (as opposed to a purely American or British program) but no women whatsoever.
- Tempting Fate: The news broadcast reporting that there is absolutely no danger from the mysterious new planet.
- Thicker Than Water: Cutler's more irresponsible actions are driven by the desire to save his son.
- Villainous Rescue: Cutler is on the point of murdering the Doctor and friends when the second Cyberman squad burst into the base and kill him. The Doctor is generous enough to thank them. Also a big part of their plans for the people of Earth, for a given value of "rescue."
- Weaksauce Weakness: These Cybermen are much more vulnerable than humans to radiation, despite their bionics.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: How the Cybermen got the way they are.
- What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Averted: the Cybermen here uniquely have individual names, and Ben feels guilty after killing one of them in self-defence.
- Wham Episode: Introduction of the Cybermen, regeneration debuts, Hartnell leaves.
- Wham Shot: The final moments of episode 4, in which the Doctor regenerates for the first time.
- You Can't Fight Fate: The first time that this trope is applied to something that the Doctor evidently knows as being a historical fact, but which is still in the "future" of the viewers watching at home. Once he recognizes where he is and what's going on, the Doctor subsequently treats all events in the episode as being inevitable. Of course, since the power drain will destroy Mondas before it threatens Earth, and the plan to destroy Earth to stop the drain in time requires human help (apparently, they never invented radiation suits) the Doctor knows that the proper course is to sit back and wait for the Mondasians' time to run out. It's less "you can't fight fate" and more "don't screw with fate when it's on your side." Though near the end they must stall to prevent the Cybermen from killing anyone else, most of the drama isn't fighting the Cybermen, but stopping the General Ripper from using his doomsday weapons that could leave Earth an irradiated wasteland - or from killing the Doctor and company in punishment afterward.

10 kicks per hour? Or 2 hours? or everyone's different?
I was told 10 movements in 2 hours. Try laying completely flat in your bed and see if LO reacts to that. Or try eating some halloween candy and then lay on your left side and see if that works. This is all advice my OB and L&D told me.
Married March 2012 to my high school sweetheart! <3
Conceived April 2012 <3
EDD to our first on Dec. 28, 2012
What's ur babies normal moving time.
Really focus because all moves count.
Benjamin Landon 1/21/09
Brayden Liam Due 12/7/12
How far along are you? Your baby can feel your stress. Lay down, relax, have your husband rub your feet, and see what happens. This is my third baby, and some days I would't feel my kids at all. It happens. If your baby is facing the back of you, you won't feel him. If you are feeling okay, don't worry about it. Call your Ob in the morning and see if you can just stop in and have them check the heart rate. But if this is something that is going to drive you crazy and make you sick, then go to L&D. There is no use in you making yourself sick over it and waiting.
EBFing, Bedsharing, AP, Non-Vaxing, Pierced & Tattoo'd CRUNCHY Mama to our b-e-a-u-tiful RAINBOW Girl!
My OB told me that the baby may be more active one day rather than the other and that not all "kick counts" will add up day to day due to babys sleep schedule.
But, sometimes going by your gut instinct is best and you know your babes movements better than anyone. If you're worried than make the trip, they're there for a reason, and like most moms will tell ya it doesn't hurt to ask.
Good luck mama, hope all turns out well!

Friday Funny: The Mystery Facility4 years ago
Guess what this is? It's a new prison in Austria! The photographs show the Justice and Detention Center in Leoben, Austria. The building was completed in 2005 and comprises court facilities as well as a penitentiary. Modern architecture Web site MIMOA notes: Architect Josef Hohensinn did not find it all that far-fetched to take home comfort into consideration in his penitentiary design for the new Justice and Detention Centre in Leoben. Façades, layout of spaces, art concept – everything meets the highest Austrian standards. "Lucky" Austrian prisoners enjoy not only clean and modern accommodation but can also move freely among their cells and the communal spaces in their designated areas. There are also outdoor courtyards where inmates can walk and sit in the fresh air. More information (Google translated from original German) about the prison is available on the Hohensinn Architektur Web site. Many thanks to Luann Rathemacher for providing this Friday Funny, and additional thanks to Tim Springer for sending a correction from Hoax-Slayer.

Friday Funny: Dance Club In London Powered By Patrons4 years ago
On July 10, Club4 Climate, an environmental group founded by British real estate mogul Andrew Charalambous, opened what it touts as the world's first eco-club. The London party spot features a dance floor designed to harness the energy of dancers. This is based on a principle called piezoelectricity. This approach uses crystals or other materials that, when compressed, give off a small amount of voltage. So as people dance on the spring-lined floor, the crystals underneath acquire a charge and generate a current that can charge nearby batteries. Charalambous claims that the dance floor energy will generate about 60% of the energy the club consumes. The remainder of energy consumption is being culled from solar panels and wind turbines. Other sustainable strategies include using rainwater to flush toilets. Dubbed "Dr. Earth" Charalambous offers the Club4Climate mission statement:It's our vision that you will club for the climate. The profits from the club go to Friends of the Earth. Other locations that Club4Climate is looking to open eco-clubs are New York City, Cape Town, and Rio de Janeiro.
Herman Miller Employees Donate Time8 years ago
More than 100 of the company's employees traveled to Alexandria, VA to help six non-profit organizations in the city. As part of a Herman Miller conference, Alexandria benefitted from a staff volunteer day. Rebuilding Together Alexandria (RTA) orchestrated various volunteer projects at non-profits, from playing games with seniors and painting to landscaping and interacting with children. "To be a part of the community means you roll up your sleeves and work with neighboring organizations to help make the lives of those they serve better," said Katharine Medina, executive director of RTA. "Through these efforts, [the] Herman Miller volunteers were able to positively impact thousands of Alexandria residents." Herman Miller volunteers completed projects for ALIVE, the Art League, Community Lodgings, the Boys & Girls Club, the Seaport Foundation, and the St. Martin de Porres Senior Center. Whether they were gardening and mulching or playing Bingo with the seniors, the volunteers expressed their enjoyment of participating in the activities. "We had a lot of fun working with the non-profits and hopefully made a dent in the work that each of these agencies need. We like to give back in communities where we're hosting a conference and it was wonderful to be able to work at so many facilities in Alexandria that needed our help," said Sally Gruppen of Herman Miller. In addition, many of the individual volunteers, as well as Herman Miller, made donations to the non-profit at which they volunteered. RTA and its volunteers assisted 91 homeowners and non-profit agencies this year. Whether it is plumbing, electrical work, or general handyman jobs, nearly 800 volunteers annually make a difference in their neighborhoods. About Herman Miller, Inc. The designs and services of Herman Miller enhance the performance of human habitats worldwide. The company's award-winning products, complemented by furniture management and strategic consulting services, generated more than $2 billion in revenue during fiscal 2008. About Rebuilding Together Alexandria (RTA) Over the past 21 years, RTA has partnered with hundreds of volunteers to repair more than 1,000 homes in the City of Alexandria. Rebuilding Together Alexandria works year-round to repair and revitalize homes for homeowners in need, including elderly, disabled and families with children. RTA also takes groups of volunteers to the Gulf to rebuild homes destroyed by hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Johnson Controls Acquires Energy Services Firm8 years ago
The company has acquired PWI Energy, an independent global provider of energy and greenhouse gas management services, based in Philadelphia, PA. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. The acquisition is part of Johnson Controls Inc.'s ongoing strategy to deepen and broaden the company's leadership in energy and greenhouse gas management solutions providing global organizations access to a comprehensive suite of energy and sustainability-related offerings. In North America, Johnson Controls can further expand the enterprise-wide energy management solutions provided to customers in vertical market segments, such as government, education, industrial manufacturing and many other industries. PWI Energy currently serves global clients with an energy management program that integrates energy supply management, energy efficiency services, and energy information, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions management. The company has developed an information technology platform which organizes all the information needed to create a comprehensive, global management system for energy and greenhouse gases. PWI Energy will integrate into Johnson Controls' Global Workplace Solutions business, which is a recognized leader in managing the real estate portfolios of global organizations with multiple facilities. "With the acquisition of PWI we are now even better positioned to help global organizations measure, manage and reduce their energy costs, as well as their overall Greenhouse Gas Footprint," said Iain Campbell, vice president and general manager, North American Service and Global WorkPlace Solutions, Johnson Controls. "In this era of rising energy prices and increasing concern over the environmental impact of greenhouse gas emissions, our enhanced solutions can positively impact climate change while decreasing organizations' vulnerability to a volatile market." "Johnson Controls was quick to recognize PWI Energy's ability to bring state-of-the-art energy management technology and services to the table," said Joseph Turk, president and principal, PWI Energy. "We look forward to seeing our solutions integrated into the Johnson Controls family and to bring greater benefits to customers the world over." PWI will retain offices in Philadelphia, and will take on the Johnson Controls name within a few months.
GE To Take Low Voltage Offerings On The Road8 years ago
GE Consumer & Industrial's Electrical Distribution business will travel to 31 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada by January 2009. Beginning in August, GE's new Low Voltage Revolution Tour will travel more than 12,000 miles, spending between several days in each location. The tour will take the company's product portfolio directly to the home cities of electrical distributors and industrial end-users.

Flooring Company Acquires Burke Industries8 years ago
Mannington Mills recently announced its acquisition of Burke Industries, a manufacturer of resilient based products including rubber flooring tiles, wall base, treads, and accessories. "The acquisition of Burke is a perfect fit in our strategic growth as a full-flooring resource for the contract sector," said Jack Ganley, president of Mannington Commercial. "Not only are we delighted to be able to expand the range of flooring choices we already offer designers and architects, but we're excited to be able to wed the superb caliber and functionality of Burke products with Mannington's exceptional color and design expertise. This promises to yield strong future style contenders for our brand and increased flooring solutions for the marketplace." In addition to product synergy, the companies have complementary histories as well as commitments to the future, noted Burke President and CEO Bob Pitman. "The similarities in our corporate cultures and experiences are a big advantage," he said. Tom Davis, president and CEO of Mannington Mills based in Salem, NJ, agrees. "Both companies rely on the value of being good people to do business with, which is exemplified not only with words, but with actions. Additionally, both companies have a strong commitment to environmental innovation and practices, closing the loop on our respective materials by developing new and improved ways for recycling the products we use and integrating a variety of recycle streams. Davis said that Burke, based in San Jose, CA, with a second facility in Eustis, FL, will maintain its brand identity and become a Mannington subsidiary, and that operations at both locations will continue. No other terms of the acquisition were disclosed.
Kimball Office Donates To Chicago Lighthouse8 years ago
The $10,000 gift from the office furniture manufacturer will help support 24 programs for visually impaired children and adults. Chicago Lighthouse is a social service agency dedicated to assisting people with visual challenges. Programs offered include the nation's oldest low vision clinic, a nationally acclaimed school for children with multi-disabilities, and a legal clinic helping blind people fight discrimination. The gift from Kimball Office was part of its "See People at Work" activities during the recent NeoCon trade show in Chicago. The company notes that the amount of the gift was made possible, in part, by the record number of designers and facility managers who visited its Wells Street showroom. Kimball Office donated $10 for every scanned visitor. "All of us here at the Chicago Lighthouse appreciate this very generous donation from Kimball Office. It will assist our efforts in helping people who are blind or visually impaired lead richer, more independent lives," says Lighthouse public relations director, Dominic Calabrese. "Respect, dignity and service are among our core values," says Jeff Fenwick, vice president/ general manager, Kimball Office. "We're honored to be able to support the Chicago Lighthouse in giving Chicagoland's visually impaired children and adults the skills they need to be valued members of the community."

1. Detroit
The Tigers offense is dangerous with Victor Martinez healthy and Torii Hunter added. Rookie Bruce Rondon might close, or the team can trade for bullpen help.
2. Toronto
The Blue Jays grabbed the headlines with offseason moves to boost their rotation and middle infield. They could use a power hitter at first base, though.
3. Texas
Josh Hamilton is gone, but the Rangers still have a good lineup, strong rotation and solid bullpen. Yu Darvish is one year wiser after a 16-win debut season.
4. Tampa Bay
James Shields is gone, but the rotation remains deep. The problem has been offense, but here to help is … Luke Scott?
5. Los Angeles
Albert Pujols, Mike Trout and, now, Josh Hamilton. Wow. They will have to slug their way to the postseason because the rotation isn't that deep.
6. Baltimore
A full season of Manny Machado will be fun to watch, but the Birds didn't do much in the offseason while the Rays and Jays made big moves in the East.
7. Oakland
Pitching staff gave up 614 runs in 2012, and staff ace Brett Anderson is healthy and available for a full season. The A's can't be counted out in the West.
8. Kansas City
James Shields and Wade Davis bring credibility to the Royals' rotation. Eric Hosmer should improve, so KC will make a big jump this year.
9. Chicago
The White Sox didn't make any major additions, so they are banking on Chris Sale and other young players step up. Paul Konerko is 37 years old. Hmmm … .
10. New York
A-Rod, Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira are injured. Andy Pettitte is 40. Hiroki Kuroda is 38. Phil Hughes has back problems. Dark clouds are forming.
11. Minnesota
Justin Morneau looks ready for a big year. Mike Pelfrey, Vance Worley and Kyle Gibson should boost the rotation. But fans want to fast forward to 2015.
12. Cleveland
The Indians offense will be better in 2013 with Mark Reynolds, Michael Bourn and Nick Swisher. The pitching staff, however, didn't receive any notable upgrades.
13. Boston
Red Sox seem to be banking on peace, calm and tranquility in the clubhouse in order to win. Sounds like the 2011 Vikings, and we saw where that got them.
14. Seattle
The fences are coming in at Safeco Field, which could help the Mariners offense. But it also could be bad news when they call on young starters such as Danny Hultzen.
15. Houston
Welcome to the AL, Astros — and pack a lunch. They are hard to watch now, but a lot is going on behind the scenes and the future looks promising.

How to Design a Sustainability Strategy in Six Steps
Robert Nuttall, who played a key role in the development of Marks & Spencer's 'Plan A' sustainability campaign shares six tips on how to design and communicate a consumer-focused sustainability strategy with MyCustomer.com. Nuttall also was a managing partner at CSR consultancy Clownfish before founding Green Mandate.
Here are the highlights from the article.
Step1: It's critical to have senior leadership engaged in sustainability to help address the issue of responsibility.
Step 2: Nuttall says you can't develop a strategy until you understand what impact — good or bad — your current processes have on the environment, communities, and employees. He adds that the core element of any communication in this area has to be transparent, verifiable and measurable, otherwise there is no robustness or authenticity to it.
Step 3: Strike the right tone, Nuttall says. Research shows that consumers are skeptical about company claims about what they're planning to do so your sustainability messages must be supported by facts and figures including past reporting and future intent, and it has to align with the master brand, he added.
Step 4: Identify your audience and then guide them. Companies should highlight the sustainability measures that an investor might be interested in, as well as consumers, experts and the passer-bys who want to get a bit of a flavor of what the company is doing, said Nuttall.
Step 5: Employees can play an important role as testbed and advocates. Nuttall says engagement with employees is critical since that is where many of the ideas for innovation and savings are going to come from. You can also have employees as advocates for the company by aligning people's personal belief systems with a company objective.
Step 6: NGOs can lend weight and credibility to your message. Nuttall says third party endorsement or accreditation from an NGO is likely to carry far more weight than whatever the company is saying. Working with NGOs can be positive all round — a win-win, he says.
Reader Comments
Nice summary. Goal setting helps also. Of course – execution is key. EarthRight Certification can help bring structure and NGO credibility to the process.

1)A sine wave of frequency (48/pi) Hz is sampled at 120 samples/second and we wish to represent it in exponential form. The resulting representation is given by
a) e^jo.s* pi* n + e^-jo.s*pi*n/2j
b) e^-jo.s* pi* n + e^-jo.s*pi*n /2j
c) e^jo.8 n + e^-jo.s*pi*n/2j
d) e^jo.sn-^-jo.sn/2
2) Find the resolution of the Fourier transform if a signal is sampled at 512 samples/second and we collect a total of 16,384 data points and then apply the FFT algorithm to them.
a) 256
b ) 0.0313
c) 8.192
3) You are sampling a signal which consists of a mixture of 160, 164 and 168 Hz sinusoids and which you want to resolve in your FFT. If you are storing 4096 samples, what is the range of sampling frequencies you can use such that you don%u2019t violate Nyquist theorem and still meet or exceed the needed resolution when you perform the FFT operation on the full set of collected data
a) any frequency greater than or equal to 336 Hz
b)less than or equal to 16384 Hz but greater than 336 Hz
c) less than or equal to 4096 but greater than 336 Hz
d) less than or equal to 8192 Hz but greater than 336
4) given that \(e^{j\pi } equals -1\) find the third root of -1 using Euler%u2019s formula. In other words, find the value of (-1)^1/3
a) 0.866 (-+) j 0.866
b) 0.5(-+)j0.5
c) 0.5(-+) j 0.866
d) 0.866 (-+) j0.866
5) Using the fundamental definition of discrete Fourier transform (DFT)
X[k] = \(\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n)e^{-j2\pi kn/N}\) find the numerical values of the first and last DFT terms (X[0] and X[3] of a periodic sequence with a digital period of 4 if the first four terms of the sequence are given by 6, 4, 4, and 4.
a) X(0) = -18,X(3) = -2+j1
b) X(0) = 18,X(3) = 2+j0
c) X(0) = 18,X(3) = -2+j1
d) X(0) = 18,X(3) = -18+j18

We finally were able to free up a Saturday afternoon to attend. We received calls 3 nights that week (all at 9pm) to "confirm" that we were still coming. The girl was obnoxious! She talked to me like I was a 4 year old! She asked 4 times if I was married and my that spouse would be expected to attend. 4 times if our income was over $40,000, 3 times that the program would start promptly at 12:30. (
Late arrivals would not be let in) She told me 4 times that our daughter was not to come with us..Had I made child care arrangements? What route would we be taking? What time would we be leaving? Were we leaving home with enough time to allow for travel/traffic difficulties? I'm surprised she didn't ask if we allowed time for "potty breaks". I'm in my 40's and have traveled all my life...I can make an hour trip with out a police escort!
Once arriving, we signed in and waited. Then taken to a room for the "presentation". Then hit with the Membership Fee..yikes! They didn't tell us that it was a "now or never" offer until then. Big time pressure to buy into it. We explained that we were'nt ready yet (we are just listing our house) but would be within the next 6 months or so and would like to join at that time. "Oh no you can't, once you go through the presentation, you must join now or not ever..." IF we "would have told them upon arrival that we wanted to wait, we would've been asked to leave and reschedule another open house".
No one offered this to us or even mentioned it "upon arrival". Our salesman said "well, they should have...who greeted you and I'll talk to them about that". But, "now that you've seen the presentation, you'd have to join now or this offer won't be extended to you again". Then the pressure intensified.."it will pay for itself over time...can you really afford to pass up these savings?"..."seriously, can you not see the benefit to this program?". We were then left alone again "to think about it", "I mean really think it through, you'd just be crazy to pass up this opportunity".
Needless to say, we left pretty angry. I can see the benefits in wholesale shopping and really wanted to enroll in this, but on our time table. Not strong armed into it. And I can't see paying for something for 6 months or more that I have no need for right now. Not in todays economy. And they raked other companies over the coals about the "bait-and switch" tactics.....

I think I've finally decided on a girl name---Anna Clare (double name-call her by both). My mom is Mary Clare and has gone by both names her whole life, so I'm hoping that Anna Clare will stick too---I don't want her to end up being just Anna.
Please share your names. I love reading about possible name choices and why you chose them!

How Do You Join CGS?
Individual membership in the CGS is only $15 annually. The dues year is from July 1 through June 30. Those joining after January 1 only pay $7.50 for the remainder of that fiscal year. There are discounted membership fees for joint membershipa, where more than one member live in the same house and we offer membership to other organizations also.
When you join, you will get the quarterly Froghorn, discounts on entry fees to most of the CGS seminars, a mentoring program, monthly speakers, and emailed research tips on a regular basis, all for only $1.25 a month! A membership form can be downloaded and printed by clicking HERE.

A mentoring session before the monthly meetings, led by experienced researchers.
The opportunity to place their Surname Research List on this website where others researching the same names are able to make contact to share information. You will find the list of names on the SURNAMES AND RESOURCES page.
What Else does CGS offer?
The website has a CONTACT REQUEST form that can be filled out by anyone who would like to request help with information on a Calaveras County ancestor. The form will be emailed to one of the CGS volunteers who will do research on the family names you send and email the results to you. They cannot obtain birth, marriage or death certificates which are available only from the Calaveras County Recorder for a fee.
On the FINDING THEM page, a list of known deaths and burials for Calaveras County, taken from old lists, newspapers, mortuary records and gravestone surveys, is available in PDF format that can be viewed online or downloaded to your computer. The lists become out of date daily as new research is done, with errors in old information discovered and new names found, but it is a very good resource for ancestors from Calaveras County and the most complete list you will find.

It did not take long for the folks in the cities to recognize the beauty of the county, with Big Trees being one of the more popular vacation places. The hotel there was elegant and there was a dance hall on a tree trunk and, at one time, even a bowling alley there. Other popular hotels were located in Avery and Dorrington.

Everyone told me not to bother getting a changing table because I would NEVER use it. Some people told me just get a changing mat and put it on a dresser. But I really wanted one so I found a cheap one on craigslist for $15... I literally use it at every single diaper change and clothing change. Idk if it is because we use cloth diapers and every single accessory and diaper and wipe is at that station, but I just find it the number one most useful thing I bought. Now I am kind of wishing I would have bought a nicer one, but mine works just fine.
Does anyone else use theres all the time? BTDT moms, how old were your LOs when you stopped using it or they got too big?

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Broken Nose
In this article
Broken Nose Treatment Self-Care at Home
Taking the following actions at home may help reduce the symptoms of a broken nose, once it has been diagnosed by a doctor.
- Place some ice wrapped in a cloth over the nose for about 15 minutes at a time and then remove the ice. This process can be repeated multiple times throughout the day. Use ice at the time of injury and for 1-2 days afterward to reduce pain and swelling. Be sure to take breaks between applications, and do not apply the ice directly to the skin.
- Take acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) to reduce pain. Only use these medications as directed.
- Take an over-the-counter nasal decongestant if recommended by your doctor to aid in breathing through the nostrils. Be sure to read warning labels associated with these medications.
- Elevate the head, especially when sleeping, to avoid increased swelling of the nose. Prop the head up with pillows or lift the head of the bed by placing large blocks or phone books under the mattress.
Medical Treatment
For simple breaks in which the nose has not been displaced (the bone is not crooked), the doctor may prescribe only pain medication, ice, and nasal decongestants.
- For markedly displaced fractures, the doctor may attempt to realign the bone pieces. The doctor may use pain medication, local anesthesia, and nasal instruments.
- Not all displaced fractures can be relocated immediately.
- Not all displaced fractures can be relocated in the emergency department.
- The doctor will advise of the best care.
- Not all displaced fractures can be relocated immediately.
- If the nose continues to bleed, the doctor may insert packing into the nostrils.
- A soft gauze pad will be placed in the bleeding nostril and should stop the nosebleed completely. The doctor usually removes the packing in 2-3 days.
- Do not attempt to remove this packing.
- The doctor may prescribe antibiotics and pain medication while the packing is in place.
- A soft gauze pad will be placed in the bleeding nostril and should stop the nosebleed completely. The doctor usually removes the packing in 2-3 days.
- If other injuries exist, additional diagnostic tests and treatment may be given.

SLIPKNOT have begun writing the songs for the follow-up to 2001's "Iowa" and plan to hit a studio with producer Rick Rubin (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, SLAYER, SYSTEM OF A DOWN) sometime in March. A late fall release through Roadrunner Records is expected."Things are going really well right now," Taylor told MTV. "We're writing a lot of good stuff and you can totally tell it's SLIPKNOT." The Des Moines-based nine-piece have already written four to five songs and has a number of others close to completion, though no song titles are available yet. "We're just getting the music and lyrics together before we really get going," Taylor said. According to Taylor, the group's next album will feature a more "tongue-in-cheek" approach than the one on "Iowa", which was widely perceived as the darker, more ominous follow-up to the band's 1999 self-titled debut. "That first album was a lot of fun to record because we weren't taking ourselves so seriously at the time. We weren't afraid of anything. When we were doing 'Iowa', we got real serious and lost that satirical feel," he said. With regards to the possibility of the group's upcoming effort being their last, Corey said, "For years we talked about doing one or two albums and going out on top. But who knows? We're going to do the album, a possible tour and then see what happens from there."
