VLS ranked number one for environmental lawStaff Report | March 18,2013SOUTH ROYALTON — Vermont Law School was ranked number one in environmental law in U.S. News and World Report's 2014 best graduate schools issue.
It marks the fifth year in a row that Vermont Law School has been recognized by the magazine as the best law school in the nation.
Vermont Law School has been ranked number one or number two by the magazine for environmental law since 1991 and has been ranked number one for 16 of those 23 years.
"This ranking reaffirms that VLS is a school with national impact on one of the most important issues of our time," President and Dean Marc Mihaly said. "I am extremely proud of the entire VLS community for their hard work and commitment to our environmental curriculum, clinics and institutes."
Vermont Law School is a private, independent institution that offers a juris doctor curriculum, two master's degrees (Master of Environmental Law and Policy, and Master of Energy Regulation and Law) and three post-JD degrees (LLM in American Legal Studies, LLM in Energy Law, and LLM in Environmental Law).

In this paper we propose an open source/open architecture framework for developing organ level surgical simulations. Our goal is to facilitate shared development of reusable models, to accommodate heterogeneous models of computation, and to provide a framework for interfacing multiple heterogeneous models. The framework provides an intuitive API for interfacing dynamic models defined over spatial domains. It is specifically designed to be independent of the specifics of the modeling methods used and therefore facilitates seamless integration of heterogeneous models and processes. Furthermore, each model has separate geometries for visualization, simulation, and interfacing, allowing the modeler to choose the most natural geometric representation for each case. I/O interfaces for visualization and haptics for real-time interactive applications have also been provided.

Sunday Musing: New Expectations
Happy Sunday Ladies, back again with some thoughts I wanted to share with you. This week have look for the new. Expect something new. Allow God to do something new in your life Isaiah 43:18-19 Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past Look! I'm doing a new thing; now it sprouts up; don't you recognize it? I'm making a way in the desert, paths in the wilderness. In the context of this passage, God had performed many great miracles for Israel, for instance, delivering them from slavery in Egypt by the parting of the Red Sea …Now though God was telling them to forget those things, as great as they […]
LUSH: Natural Hair Event
On Thursday, LUSH Regent Street held a natural hair event in light of the Notting Hill Carnival It was a lovely event and I'm glad I went because I've never really paid attention to LUSH's hair care range, just their skincare stuff. One of my favourites from LUSH is their Sexy Peel soap…it smells amazing – a great start to the morning. "A citrus soap that's packed with exfoliating orange, lemon and lime peel and freshly-squeezed juice that leaves you set up for a great day. This is one of our most uplifting soaps. Fresh orange and lemon juices are said to be particularly good on oily or congested skin as they are naturally cleansing and full of fruit […]

Pelo Malo Exhibition
Last Thursday I was invited to speak at the opening of the Pelo Malo Exhibition. The Pelo Malo Exhibitoion was a solo show featuring a new series of work by Puerto Rican artist Jennifer Kaplan-Ortiz. 'Pelo Malo' which means 'Bad Hair' in Spanish, is a term used in Latin American countries to describe curly and Afro-Caribbean hair. Speaking with the beautiful Crystal Afro of United Kinkdom we spoke about the single idea of what we thought beautiful black Afro-Caribbean hair was. We touched on our experiences growing up with the belief that straight hair was the only beautiful and how this distorted ideology influenced how we viewed ourselves and wanted to be viewed by others. From this […]

Hey Ladies, Now it's been a few weeks but I'm sure some of you are still buzzing from Curlvolution this year. Once again Bukky and the Curlvolution team have shown how hair and beauty events should be done. The atmosphere was just amazing, those that went can attest to this. This is the only event of it's kind that I've been to where the vibe is great, the love is thick in the air and you leave not only learning more about hair but health and life in general. One of the main contributors to the awesome vibe is Mr Action Jackson himself! Aside from being funny, he made it his mission to encourage self love and confidence (Ladies, […]
EvaWigs recap & Giveaway
Hey ladies, So a while back (January? February maybe?) I was sent a kinky-curly u-part wig from Eva Wigs. It's taken me a good minute to do this review as I wanted to really test the longevity of this unit. Some people aren't too big on 'fake natural hair' but I think it's a perfect style option for ladies who want to give their hair a break, but rock a style that still resembles their own. It's also a great way to experiment with different cuts and colour you may not feel comfortable trying out on your own hair. Also, U-part's are great because it gives those scared of going for a full wig (moi, lol) the comfort in […]
Top Tips for Length Retention
This week we talk with Kara of 'Natural Curlies' about her top 5 tips for retaining length on natural hair. Keep your hair moisturised regularly. Think of hair as a plant, if a plant isn't watered regularly it will not flourish and grow, the leaves/ petals will dry out and become crispy and fragile. When natural hair isn't nourished it will become dry, brittle and look dull like a plant when it has not been looked after. I pay special attention to the ends of my hair, as it's the oldest part it often gets the driest so it requires the most moisture. I always apply a liquid first In the form of water and then […]

Safe and quiet in Chesapeake City
... Marty mentioned this to him and the captain thought all would be fine because we "all swing the same way". This is not true- we do not swing the same way as trawlers, and because our swing keel is up we did not even swing the same as our similar neighbouring sailboats. When his stern swung to less than 20 feet from us and we started to swing towards him, Marty mentioned that we actually don't swing the same and he said "well I'm sorry I have a trawler".... one of those ...

I have bought myself a biography of Robert E. Lee because I am curious about this complex character. Lee was a West Point graduate, and worked his way up in the US Army prior to the Civil War. I have also seen quotes from him sympathetic to the right of slaves, so how did he end up as head of the rebel Confederate Army? I'll let you know as I find out…
On to Philadelphia tomorrow..
11:15 am we arrived in Philadelphia. The boys were hungry so they ordered some pretzels and super hot mustard. They were crying it was so hot. 12:30 we made our way to the US Air Club. This is how to travel. Free beer, wine and food. They had nice comfy couches and chairs to relax. The boys played cards while the rest of us tried to get a few hours of rest in. 5:30 pm left ...
America so far...
... and landed a great shot on Emma. Followed by great anger and silence for 20 odd minutes.... Worth it!! The falls were an amazing experience from the observation deck on the American side and we hope to make it back across on the Canadian side in summer to see it from what we have been told is the better viewing side. Now back to the New York experience. So the plan was to take a bus and do day trips to eliminate the need for accommodation. We boarded a bus in Chinatown Philly ...
First day in Philadelphia today, braved the silly cold to go and explore the city and its monuments, but guess what the city was shut so we went for a little exploring walk around town before going to test a philli cheese steak sandwich !!! O my god they are just so ...

New article out on "auto debt", shows that appearance is more important than fiscal responsibility.
Vehicles are by far the absolute worst money you can spend. What else depreciates by at least 25% the moment that you buy it, costs you money to own, money to run, money to insure, money to maintain? I believe that most of these sales are actually leases that'll end up on the lot after the lease period is over.
After having spent thousands and thousands of dollars on these money-losing purchases, they'll all end up on the used car lots, with the original purchaser having absolutely no "asset" (regardless of its hugely devalued price) to their name.
People can't get past the "no money down", or "no interest" deals that are out there.
Thus the leasing cycle begins again.
It's all about appearances. The debt-poor strive to appear cash-rich.
The best vehicle deals out there are from low-km trade-ins, where someone else has already bore the brunt of the huge drop in value once it was driven off the lot.

Topic: Archery
My daughters are both interested in learning archery. When I was a kid, the high school had an archery range in the basement. Also a rifle range. Not likely in northern Virginia! But I was surprised to find a regional park here that offers lessons and even a club for kids! Intro lesson is only $30/kid. I'm really stoked. Another fellow is going to give me - GIVE me - a bow for them to use. Sportsmen are just all kinds of cool.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. Lynell Hamilton made it here.
"I know," the man who never became San Diego State's next Marshall Faulk said yesterday, with equal parts incredulity and satisfaction. "The Super Bowl."
After a spate of injuries and pretty much being given up on at San Diego State, Hamilton went undrafted and spent a year on the New Orleans Saints practice squad before making the active roster this season as a fourth running back and special teams stalwart.
"I just continued to do what I've always done: put forth the effort, work harder than the man next to me," Hamilton said. "I never stopped believing, not even for a second."
That's saying something, considering all he went through.
Hamilton came to SDSU in 2003 as one of the most-touted recruits in school history and almost immediately began being everything he was expected to be.
In the third-to-last game of his freshman season, on the same day he would become a 1,000-yard rusher, with Faulk's freshman school record in sight, Hamilton's right cleat got stuck in the turf at UNLV's Sam Boyd Stadium and his ankle and fibula were broken. He would have surgery the next week, and the freshman All-American would never be the same in college.
Or never be given the chance.
His recovery forced a redshirt season in 2004. After getting past a nagging hamstring injury, he gained more than 100 yards in three games at the end of the '05 season and had 890 yards on the season. In '06, he tore his meniscus and had surgery again.
In '07, Aztecs head coach Chuck Long made him a fullback, telling Hamilton that was where he was best suited.
"It pretty much went in one ear and out the other," Hamilton recalled. "But it was what the team needed at the time."
The 6-foot, 235-pound Hamilton left Qualcomm Stadium following the '07 season, during which he carried two times for 1 yard.
"I wouldn't say there was doubt, but I didn't know what was going to happen," Hamilton said of the end of his college career.
"I didn't know if I was ever going to play ball again. I wasn't going to quit though. I was going to work hard and see what happened."
When then-Saints personnel director Rick Mueller arrived at San Diego State's Pro Day in spring 2008, he had never heard of Hamilton but instead was there to see, among others, Aztecs running back Brandon Bornes.
He was intrigued by Hamilton, and when he got a tape showing Hamilton's college body of work, he was impressed enough to share it around the building in New Orleans. The Saints identified Hamilton as a priority free agent in the event he went undrafted, which he did.
Hamilton spent '08 on the practice squad, getting elevated for the season finale.
After a solid spring and summer, he essentially forced the Saints to keep him, even though they already had backs Pierre Thomas, Reggie Bush and Mike Bell.
"We didn't want to risk losing him," said New Orleans running backs coach Bret Ingalls.
Hamilton spent five weeks during the middle of the season inactive, but injuries to others on special teams prompted the Saints to activate him in week 11, and he has been active ever since.
"He proved we needed him on special teams," Ingalls said. "We don't normally keep four running backs active."
Hamilton, who yesterday wore a boot on his left foot after turning his ankle in the NFC Championship Game, has also been a third-down and goal-line back. He had 35 carries for 125 yards and scored touchdowns on a pair of 1-yard runs this season.
He, of course, sees himself as more than a role player in the future.
"I will continue to show myself, keep doing what I'm asked to do, keep grinding it out, do my thing on special teams," Hamilton said.
For now, he knows he has already come a long way.
"You never know what is going to happen," Hamilton said. "Don't quit. Never throw in the towel. It doesn't matter what school you're from. It doesn't matter what your 40 (yard) time is. It doesn't matter what your stats were in college. If you keep working hard and show yourself improved, you'll have a chance.
"I went through a different journey than I expected. I went through adversity. I'm here now. And you can't get no better than this."

20 August 2007
1. The Ministry of Education (MOE) will enhance the Malay (Special Programme) and the Chinese (Special Programme) to encourage more students to offer these official mother tongues as third languages in schools.
2. MOE will also introduce a Regional Studies Programme (RSP) to nurture a group of students comfortably conversant in Malay (ML), and with an understanding of the culture and contemporary developments in the region. Together with the MSP, this will help groom a segment of non-Malays in each generation who can effectively engage the region in future.
3. These measures, which were announced by the Prime Minister at the 2007 National Day Rally, build on MOE's on-going efforts to promote conversational Malay and Chinese among students. They will equip our people with the language skills to engage the world, and also help to further strengthen Singapore's multi-racial compact in the long run.
Enhancing the Malay (Special Programme) (MSP) and Chinese (Special Programme) (CSP)
4. Introduced in 1986, the MSP is a four-year programme for non-Malay secondary students to learn Malay as a third language. Interested students take ML from Secondary 1 and offer the subject at 'O' level. The CSP was similarly introduced in 2004 for non-Chinese students to offer Chinese Language as a third language. To encourage more students to enrol in MSP and CSP, MOE will put in place the following incentives:
a. Students who pass MSP or CSP at 'O' level will be awarded two bonus points for admission to Junior College (JC). This will affect students taking their MSP/CSP 'O' level exams from 2008 onwards (i.e. current batch of Secondary 3 MSP/CSP students). This bonus point scheme will also be implemented for students offering Bahasa Indonesia as a third language.
b. Students taking MSP or CSP will be able to count their MSP/CSP grade in-lieu-of a humanities subject within the aggregate score (L1R5[1]) for admission to JC. This is similar to how students can currently use their grades for Higher Art or Higher Music, to substitute for a humanities subject in the L1R5 score. This will affect students taking their MSP/CSP 'O' level exams from 2008 onwards (i.e. current batch of Secondary 3 MSP/CSP students). The same incentive will be extended to students taking Bahasa Indonesia.
5. The MSP/CSP will also be extended to pre-university level, so that students' exposure to ML and CL can be sustained after secondary school. MOE will provide an Elective Programme at 'A' level, similar to the Japanese, French and German Language Elective Programmes offered in JCs, where pupils learn the language at a higher level and benefit from enrichment programmes such as seminars and immersion opportunities.
Establishing a Regional Studies Programme
6. A Regional Studies Programme (RSP) will be established in four schools from 2008. The schools are Anglo-Chinese School (Independent), Raffles Institution, Raffles Girls' School (Secondary) and Victoria School. The programme will have the following features:
a. Students in the RSP will offer MSP or Bahasa Indonesia as a third language, and learn about Southeast Asian culture and contemporary society. MOE will work with the four schools to develop structured enrichment modules spread out during the programme, so that students can gain a better understanding of the cultural and social aspects of the region.
b. Up to 100 scholarships will be awarded each year to students in the RSP. The scholarship will include subsidy of school fees, an annual allowance of $1,000 and sponsorship for regional immersion programmes.
7. The RSP is expected to take in about 120 students for every cohort in total, across the four schools. MOE will support the schools offering RSP with the necessary resources to provide school-based instruction for students so that they can attend lessons within their own schools. Incentives offered for the MSP will also apply to students offering the RSP, where applicable.
Malay (Special Programme) and Chinese (Special Programme)
8. MOE started the MSP, which is a programme for Malay as third language, in 1986. The list of schools and zonal centres offering MSP is at Annex A. The CSP was introduced from 2004. The list of schools and zonal centres offering CSP is at Annex B. Both MSP and CSP are currently offered to secondary students as an elective 'O' level subject, provided they did not take Malay or Chinese as their MTL at PSLE.
9. Previously, students were only allowed to offer MSP or CSP if they met the eligibility criteria: (i) top 10% of PSLE cohort, or (ii) within the 11-30% band in PSLE with an "A*" in MTL or Distinction in Higher MTL and at least an "A" in English Language. To encourage more students to offer MSP and CSP, the above-mentioned criteria were removed from 2006. Currently, all students in the Express and Normal (Academic) courses who do not have Malay or Chinese as their MTL, are eligible to take MSP or CSP respectively.
Conversational Malay and Chinese
10. At the Committee of Supply debate 2007, MOE announced that it would encourage as many schools as possible to offer Conversational CL and ML from 2008 for students who are not taking these languages as their MTLs. MOE will be providing schools with additional resources to implement these programmes. It is envisaged that within 5 years, all primary schools and two-thirds of our secondary schools will offer simple Conversational CL and ML as enrichment programmes.
11. MOE will provide students with opportunities for continued exposure to these conversational languages as they move up in years. They will be able to progress in Conversational CL and ML at their own pace. Students could start with beginner modules and, depending on their interest and aptitude, move on to higher modules. The modules will begin at the primary level and extend through secondary school as well as the post-secondary institutions.

Apps in a Snap: Pear & Cheese Crisps
Take pitas to a whole new level with this party snack. Creamy blue cheese and pear combine for a flavor-packed, easy appetizer.
-If you like cheese and crackers, you're gonna love this kicked up version that you uses fresh pears, creamy blue cheese and crispy pita wedges. Start by making your pita chips. This is really easy using store bought pita breads. Just flip them open, then cut each half into 6 wedges. Using a pastry brush, brush each with a light coating of olive oil. Then remove them over into a rim baking sheet. Now get to work on your pears. Cut them in half. Then use a melon baller to scoop out the centers. Finally, place them into thin pieces. Top each pita wedge with 2 slices of pears, sprinkle on one cup of crumble blue cheese which I love because it has a sharp flavor and creamy texture. And one tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary.. Now just bake these off in a 425 degree oven for about 10 minutes. Arrange the pitas on a pretty serving platter then just watch them disappear.

Rio 2016- The campaign to put windsurfing back in the Olympics
by Rory Ramsden on 10 May 2012
Tom Ashley leading the pack upwind at at the World Championships - Perth 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championships Ocean Images
When the going gets tough, the tough get going!
I may have been raw, sore and shell shocked when I got home from the ISAF Mid Year Meeting in Streza, Italy but a quick check on the web told me that I was not the only one.
As I write, the petition inviting ISAF to review their decision is past 13800 subscribers and the Facebook Group set up by others has 16,000 followers and climbing (Review the petition below).
Keep Windsurfing as a Olympic Discipline
I just signed the following petition addressed to: ISAF.
Keep Windsurfing as a Olympic Discipline
So many dreams crushed, jobs destroyed and years of training put to waste.. A sport that is growing more than ever whilst being a true Olympic discipline, requiring physical fitness, tactics and discipline, crushed by a council that has probably never windsurfed before, let alone raced. Have they thought of the industry? The people who spend thousands upon thousands on the kit they chose to impose as a one design class?
Sign the petition and appeal against the controversial (let alone awful) decision made by ISAF to replace windsurfing with kitesurfing at the Olympics..
Whilst the logic behind competitive kitesurfing is leaving a lot of people confused, there is no reason why we cannot have both Windsurfing and Kitesurfing as Olympic classes. If they want to cut disciplines, at least let it be even and justified throughout the sports.
[Your name]
The campaign to put windsurfing back in the Olympics will not be easy. Nor will it be a sprint. It is more likely to be a marathon but when the going gets tough, the tough get going. The RS:X Class fully realize that this is not a matter just for them. It is a matter for the whole sport of windsurfing.
The initiatives to set up a petition did not come from within the RS:X Class nor did the Facebook Group. They came as a result of the spontaneous combustion of anger and frustration felt by windsurfers round the world. People from more than 100 countries are involved in some way or another.
So what happens now...well, we have to make a strategy and execute it whilst crowd sourcing volunteers to carry some of the load.
In the short term, it could look like this...
1. Identify and pull together all of our assets
2. Organise a meeting of stakeholders
3. Create a 'Vote Windsurfing Campaign Team' drawn from all corners of windsurfing
4. Make a multi-layered strategy and action plan
5. Lobby, Lobby, Lobby
6. Send a Lobby team to the ISAF November meeting with a clear strategy
We feel very strongly that everyone with something to lose has to be engaged in the process. Those with time to spare, expertise to share or resources to offer should contact email@example.com in the meantime there is plenty to do.
If you have a smartphone or video camera and know a young racer - do this...
Use a smartphone, make a short video with each young racer... ask two questions?
1. Why do you love windsurfing
2. What impact has the ISAF decision had on your hopes and dreams?
If you know a parent of a young racer with Olympic dreams - do this:
Ask how they feel about putting their kids into what some might view as an extreme sport that many feel has the potential to impact the rest of their lives in a bad way.
Don't over complicate what you're video clips. Keep them simple. We can edit, convert, encode and upload on to a dedicated Youtube.com channel and Facebook. Just send your raw footage.
It's a simple thing to do. Anyone can get involved. But it is a powerful way to send a message to those responsible for this travesty.
Then we would ask you to share, tweet, and blog your hearts out.
Send your video clip to firstname.lastname@example.com together with any ideas that you think will help.
If we all pick up a stone, we can move Mount Everest!

188.8.131.52 15:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)This article needs a major rewrite. There are a number of inaccuracies, half-truths, and major omissions. For one thing, the list of members here is only correct for a few of their albums. Lee Dorman and Erik Braunn were not original members (although they were onboard for In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida) and LOTS of people who aren't mentioned were in the band at one point or another.
Also, while it's true that the band broke up in '71, the article fails to mention that the band has been reformed multiple times since then, and in fact that they are on tour today, with two members from the early days (Lee Dorman and Ron Bushy are in the band - Erik Braunn is dead and I have no idea what Ingle is doing or if he's sitll alive.) Isomorphic 00:02, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)
-Regarding Doug Ingle; last I heard from band mates and others in their circle of musician friends, after the death of his father, Doug return home to San Diego mid-tour, to look after his mom. Last I heard, he's still alive and haven't heard different. I'm Partev, I used to crew for the band 1975-77, and two spin-off bands Magic and Gold 1977-79. I can be contacted for further info at email@example.com or at email@example.com if that helps. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 22:01, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
There used to be a picture of the classic line-up as well, and that disappeared too and wasnt replaced.
It should also be noted that the term "Heavy" as commonly used to describe a genre of rock music was "coined" by Iron Butterfly. The term came into use after the release of their album "Heavy". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 19:06, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

"Soul Experience" was a chart-climber in 1969 or 1970[edit]
The main article suggests that "Innagaddadivida" was the group's biggest hit, and I don't dispute that, but how high did "Soul Experience" climb the charts when Ball first came out? I seem to remember 'Soul Experience' receiving a ton of air play in 1969 and 1970. 220.127.116.11 15:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)James Glenn Clark22.214.171.124 15:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
- As I have now noted and referenced in the article on Ball, "Soul Experience" managed to get as high as #75. This makes it the band's third-highest charting single; "Easy Rider (let the wind pay the way)" was their second-highest.--Martin IIIa (talk) 01:42, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
"Oceans Twelve" It sounds like Doug Ingle or Eric Brann had something to do with the score. Iron Butterfly had or has such a unique sound, and I'm not just talking a certain part of the movie, the whole movie score sounds like it was at least influenced by the "Butterfly". But now that I think about it the band has had so many changes its hard to credit anybody with the originality of the sound. Although if I was to credit anybody with the influence of the score it would be Doug Ingle and Eric Brann. Just an opinion.
Fair use rationale for Image:Ironbutterfly.jpg[edit]
Image:Ironbutterfly.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:33, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Better Lead Image?[edit]
This current ones an album cover which really isnt a great lead. Any viable pic of the band? LordRobert 12:34, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Name correction, please[edit]
Is the young guitarist's name Brann or Braunn? The article uses both spellings. I seem to remember Braunn, but I no longer have the album to check. I also remember hearing that he was only high-school age when "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" was released. That'd be interesting in the article, if true. Grinhooks (talk) 16:33, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Update: Never mind, I verified and added the info myself. Erik Braunn's official (now posthumous) website, http://www.erikbraunn.net never refers to him by any other name, I can't yet confirm his birth name. Grinhooks (talk) 17:21, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
His born identity was "Erik Keith Braunn", which is how it appeared on the the pamphlet at his memorial service. His full born name is out there on the web somewhere, I've come across it before. "Erik Braunn" is how it appeared on his business card he gave me. I knew him and crewed for the band during the mid to late 1970's. We had been in touch on and off over the years. Also, I'm the one that caught the phone call at their studio from the band on tour in Germany, regarding bass player Keith Ellis. They needed Lee to go to Germany sooner rather than later. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 23:17, 29 June 2008 (UTC) Partev- I crewed for Iron Butterfly September 1975 to summer 1977, then two of the spin-off bands Magic (1977-78) and Gold (1978-79), I was there, so I have first hand knowledge. I can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com
Lineup section[edit]
This section is poorly formatted and too big, as well as unprofessionally written in places. Can anyone who knows a lot about Iron Butterfly fix it up? Rarr (talk) 01:11, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

I used to crew for them 1975-77, and have stayed in touch with drummer Ron Bushy over the years. I'll give it a look-see. Partev at email@example.com or at firstname.lastname@example.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 21:49, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Album sales[edit]
There was a discussion to this effect on the "list of best-selling albums" page, but how many copies each did Iron Butterfly's albums sell? Especial "In A Gadda Da Vida". The discography page says that "Heavy" and "Ball" went Gold each, and "In A Gadda Da Vida" went Quadruple Platinum, yet this seems ridiculously low. Any help, with sources/links/whatever would help to improve this article. Thank you. Dr Rgne (talk) 12:12, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Connections to a Group of Guys in Germany[edit]
The cut, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, was a very popular song for a group of morse intercept folks at Rothwesten.......you know who you were... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rdodson (talk • contribs) 02:42, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
And that's relevant to the article how exactly? Dr Rgne (talk) 09:06, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
The text around the infobox picture[edit]
It doesn't need to be there. However, I do not know how to remove it, so if anyone else is able to do that, then that would be nice. Thank you. BacktableSpeak to Meabout what I have done 23:27, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
- Done. It might be better to replace the picture entirely with something a little better than a non-flat photo of the band? Let me go look in my collection. Or if you have a better one... Regards, Piano non troppo (talk) 08:08, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for fixing that loose text; it is much appreciated. I wouldn't mind the photo being replaced, but I don't have much experience with uploading photos on wikipedia. I might get aaround to uploading photos one day, but it definitely is one of my current weaknesses, unfortunately. BacktableSpeak to Meabout what I have done 21:21, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
New album[edit]
Iron Butterfly issued a new album called The Lost Broadcasts link 1, link 2 --Marekkoudelka (talk) 09:39, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Merger proposal[edit]
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- The result of this discussion was to Merge Martin Gerschwitz, Erik Brann, and Darryl DeLoach, and Keep Jerry Penrod and Danny Weis.Martin IIIa (talk) 15:32, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
I propose that the articles Martin Gerschwitz, Erik Brann, Jerry Penrod, Darryl DeLoach, and Danny Weis be merged into this article. None of these people have any notability outside of their involvement with Iron Butterfly, and aside from Brann, none have notability even there, having contributed to at most one album. This means that, with the possible exception of Brann, they all fail to meet WP:MUSICBIO. More importantly, since they all essentially just repeat information already found in the main Iron Butterfly article, the existence of separate articles just multiplies the amount of work Iron Butterfly editors have to do. Finally, all the articles are in poor shape as far as references go, and merging them into Iron Butterfly will ensure that information gets attention from a greater variety of editors.--Martin IIIa (talk) 21:26, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
- Support. Those particular articles do not have much going for them. They are very short and have at most one reference in the page. However, there is Jerry Penrod's article, which states that he has been in two bands with Wikipedia articles (Iron Butterfly and Rhinoceros.) Maybe some more information could be added to that one, but if it is necessary for them all to be redirected, then so be it. Backtable Speak to meconcerning my deeds. 04:46, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
- My bad... I don't know how I managed such a blatant oversight, but it completely slipped my mind that both Weis and Penrod were later in Rhinocerous. The problem remains that their articles have both been around for years and still have little enough content that they would fit more conveniently within Iron Butterfly, but they at least have notability independent of Iron Butterfly, and this raises the question of whether Weis and Penrod should redirect to Iron Butterfly or Rhinoceros. Maybe we should put those two on hold for now and just merge the other three?--Martin IIIa (talk) 16:00, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
- In the meantime, I think that's a good idea. Backtable Speak to meconcerning my deeds. 22:39, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, it looks like that's all the discussion this proposal is going to get, so I'll close the discussion and do the merges. If I have a moment, I'll try to dig up more content for the Weis and Penrod articles, too.--Martin IIIa (talk) 15:32, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

How did Pinera and Rhino join?[edit]
This has been puzzling me ever since I first picked up Metamorphosis about 8 or 9 years ago. Every history of Iron Butterfly I've seen says that Mike Pinera and Rhino joined the band prior to the recording of the album. Yet the album itself - whose reliability is hard to question - designates them as non-members. For starters, it's credited not to Iron Butterfly, but to "Iron Butterfly With Pinera and Rhino". Far more tellingly, it ambiguously credits all songs as written by Iron Butterfly, and upon checking the BMI records for these songs, I find they belong to Ron Bushy, Lee Dorman, and Doug Ingle. Pinera and Rhino have no ownership on any of them. On top of all that, it is odd that the band would hire two additional guitarists when they already had two in their very ranks, especially as they'd gotten on just fine with only one guitarist before.
It's easy to draw an explanation for how so many IB histories would get this point wrong: At some point, a historian decided to simplify the story of Pinera and Rhino's involvement with Metamorphosis and just say they were already official members at that time, and subsequent historians just repeated what they'd read from this guy. It wouldn't be the first time such an oversimplification was passed around as historical fact. And yet, I find the whole thing puzzling, given how prominently Pinera and Rhino are featured on the album's sleeve, and the unquestionable fact that they did join at some point before the breakup. Is there anyone here who has heard any details of exactly how Pinera and Rhino came to join the band?--Martin IIIa (talk) 15:06, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
Is this a Reliable Source?[edit]
Under the "bop" section it states "...in all the the album has sold 30 million copies...". This could then replace the outdated "25 million" number listed in the article. Eye Fields (talk) 17:03, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
Oh, here's another one I forgot to type :(
[2] Eye Fields (talk) 17:06, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, neither of those really work. The second source is reliable, but they specifically note that the 30 million figure came from the band's website, which is of course not an independent source. The first source is a site selling tickets for the band's shows, so most likely that bio came from the band's management as well. Also, in purely logical terms, the 30 million figure seems dubious. If we accept the 25 million figure as accurate, then that means the album sold 5 million copies in the past 5 years, yet so far as I know there's been no surge of interest in the album over that time. Most likely Iron Butterfly's management is rounding the album's sales up to the nearest ten million.--Martin IIIa (talk) 15:00, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
The 25 million figure was first cited in the early 90's, and can be sourced from various reliable sources from the time. That means that the album would have had to have sold approximately 5 million copies worldwide in 20+ years. There have been "special edition" re-releases, as well as the title track being used in movies, and an episode of The Simpsons to name just a few things. Considering how many copies Michael Jackson's Thriller is supposed to have sold in recent years(jumping from app. 48 million in about 1994 to 105 million by 2007?) the "5 million worldwide in 20+ years" does not seem excessive. Eye Fields (talk) 15:14, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, okay. I haven't seen any sources on the album's sales that date back to the 90s. The problem remains, though, that neither of the sources you've linked can be cited for that fact. I'll see if I can dig up a better reference when I get some time.--Martin IIIa (talk) 12:14, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
- ...Bad news. I've done some searching, and while I did turn up two more reliable sources stating over 30 million in sales ([3] and [4]), both of them explicitly cite the band's website as the source of the figure. That's three reliable sources now that we've found which rely on the band's website, which makes me suspect there may not be a better source for the 30 million figure out there. Also, I stumbled on an old 2008 discussion of the matter at Talk:List of best-selling albums/Archive 3, and they couldn't find a good source for it either. We may be stuck with 25 million until there are further developments.--Martin IIIa (talk) 22:45, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

The sentence including the following - "DeLoach subsequently recorded with Two Guitars, Piano, Drum and Darryl" - seems a bit unclear. Is Two Guitars, Piano . . . a musical group? The statement implies this but is not clear in it's intent. It also seems somewhat out of place as it appears seemingly out of nowhere and unconnected to the previous paragraph.

New inoffical live albums[edit]
Puple Pyrimd Records released two inoffical live albums in May and August this year; (Live At The Galaxy 1967) and Live in Copenhagen 1971. I didn't do a article beacuse only two sources could be found [RateYourMusic.com] and [Entry on Allmusic] and I felt the earlier material would be worth an article due its rareness on the market. Saemikneu (talk) 12:50, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
Johnnie Taylor's "Disco Lady" is the first Platinum® single. The first Platinum™ album certified by the RIAA® was The Eagles' Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975.
There's a misunderstanding there. In A Gadda Da Vida was released in early 1968. Bu late 1969 it had sold more than ten million copies in the USA alone. At the time the only award for certification was Gold(which was for sales of half a million copies in the USA). In A Gadda Da Vida had already been certified Gold, but that seemed a bit silly, considering how many copies the album had already sold, and was still in the Top 10(and would be the biggest selling album in the USA for the calendar year 1969). For this reason, Iron Butterfly's record company created a special award, the 'Platinum Record', with Atlantic Records head Ahmet Ertegun presenting it to them, and noting that 'the Gold Record certification is meaningless at this point. The album has sold twenty times that amount'. Note that this was not the RIAA, but rather Atlantic Records acknowledging one of their own artists' extraordinary sales. The RIAA only introduced the 'Platinum Record' award(for sales of one million copies in the USA) some years later, and for the RIAA Platinum Record, The Eagles were indeed the first act to receive that RIAA award from the RIAA. Laughably, the RIAA only recognize sales of "4 million" for In A Gadda Da Vida in the USA, which is pretty much what In A Gadda Da Vida sold in the USA AFTER 1976, with no recognition of the huge sales before that date.

Look Over Your Auto Insurance Policy With These Tips In Mindoptionalautoinsurance
Insurance is full of very complicated terminology and wording that is regarded as complex. At times, they can cause such confusion. You will be able to understand these terms better after you read this article. When you actually understand the terms of the agreement, you will be better able to decide whether it's the correct auto insurance quotes policy for you.
Enrolling in a defensive driving course is one of the simplest ways to save on auto insurance. Simply enrolling in these courses often gives you a discount on insurance right away. They'll also help you learn to drive more safely, preventing you from getting in accidents that could raise your rates. Many local driving schools offer these courses. You will be able to find them on the web if traditional classes don't work for you.
Trade in your sports car for something more insurance friendly. Insurance companies charge higher rates for insuring a sports car. Consider buying a more conservative vehicle. That big engine under the hood could end up costing you more than just gas money when it comes to your insurance policy. Sports cars are at greater risk of theft, which further raises the cost of insurance.
Drivers who have a very short commute could potentially qualify for a special discount on their car insurance based on their low mileage. In order to be eligible for this type of discount, you generally have to drive below 7,500 miles per year. You may also get a commuter discount if you use public transit.
Because car insurance rates change depending on where you live, you might want to consider where you are planning to move. A geographical factor that determines the cost of your insurance is crime rate.
Shop around before settling on one provider. Do your homework to find the best rate on the best policy.
Understand your insurance policy before the unexpected happens. Car insurance policies generally include standard options for coverage of physical injuries and medical expenses. Be careful; some options are not available unless you have requested them, such as collision insurance. If you just have basic coverage it may not pay out depending on your insurance, make sure you coverage is adequate.
It is important to consider every possible scenario when choosing a coverage amount. The amount of liability coverage may be the most crucial decision. Too little coverage may jeopardize your home and other assets if you are involved in a bad accident. An insurance agent should be able to help you ensure you do not under-insure your vehicle. The safety provided by adequate coverage is well worth the money.
Some of the most popular ways to drive down insurance premiums is to install an anti-theft alarm, GPS tracker or theft immobilizer in your vehicle. If your car is easily stolen or stolen often, it may raise your insurance. If your car has a lower chance of theft, your policy will be lower as well.
You shouldn't buy new cars for teens. Let your teenagers use a shared family car. It will be much less expensive to add your teenage driver to your existing insurance plan, too. You may even be able to get a discount on your insurance if your teenager is a good student.
Pay your car insurance all at once or quarterly. Your insurance agency adds monthly fees to your bill, usually around $5 every month. These fees can add up over the year. If you are paying a lot of bills this may become hard. The fewer payments, the better.
If you are shopping for car insurance, it's important to understand the different types of coverage. There are a lot of factors that are involved in auto insurance coverage even for a single vehicle. Make sure your insurance covers legal costs as well as death or injury claims in case you are involved in a bad accident.
When you are figuring out what you need in the way of coverage, think about what car you have. Depending on your personal insurance needs, you may want lower coverage on a older vehicle compared to a newer one. You should also be aware of what your vehicle's theft rate is. You might want to invest in comprehensive coverage for cars with a higher rate of being stolen, even older cars.
With the knowledge you have learned here, review your policies and make sure you are getting the coverage that you need at the right price. A well-informed customer will make the best choice in auto insurance.

A look at Blackwater in Iraq during the war
Iraq said Thursday it will bar Blackwater Worldwide from providing security protection for U.S. diplomats because its contractors used excessive force. A look at events surrounding Blackwater's time in Iraq:
– March 2004: A vehicle with four Blackwater Security employees is hit by rocket-propelled grenades and gunfire in Fallujah, and their charred, mutilated bodies are dragged through the streets.
– October 2004: Blackwater president says the company has had "staggering" growth of more than 600 percent in the past 18 months.
– December 2006: Iraqi and U.S. officials say a drunken Blackwater employee fatally shoots a bodyguard for Shiite Vice President Adel Abdul-Mahdi.
– September 2007: Seventeen Iraqi civilians are killed in a crowded Baghdad square, and Blackwater says its guards opened fire after coming under attack. The Iraqi government temporarily suspends the firm's license, and several U.S. inquiries begin. The State Department counts 56 shooting incidents that year involving Blackwater guards in Iraq.
– September 2007: Anonymous officials say U.S. prosecutors are investigating whether Blackwater USA employees illegally smuggled weapons into Iraq. Blackwater denies it is involved.
– October 2007: A report by a House committee calls Blackwater an out-of-control outfit indifferent to Iraqi civilian casualties. It says Blackwater has been involved in 195 shooting incidents since 2005, or roughly 1.4 per week. Blackwater chairman Erik Prince tells the committee, "I believe we acted appropriately at all times." Congress moves to update a law that has kept private security contractors in Iraq immune to criminal prosecution, and the State Department issues new guidelines to monitor Blackwater.
– December 2007: A new U.S. agreement gives the military in Iraq more control over Blackwater and other private security contractors.
– April 2008: The State Department says Blackwater's multimillion-dollar contract to protect diplomats in Baghdad has been renewed.
– July 2008: Blackwater's CEO says the company plans a shift away from the security contracting business.
– November 2008: Bush administration officials say thousands of contractors working in key roles for the U.S. in Iraq will lose immunity and be subject to Iraqi law under new security arrangements.
– December 2008: Five Blackwater security guards are indicted in the deadly 2007 shooting.
– January 2009: The five guards plead not guilty to federal manslaughter and gun charges.
– Jan. 29, 2008: Iraq says it will bar Blackwater from providing security protection for U.S. diplomats because its contractors used excessive force.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama announced Thursday night he had authorized the U.S. military to launch targeted airstrikes if needed to protect Americans from Islamic militants in northern Iraq, threatening to revive U.S. military involvement in the country's long sectarian war.
He also said the U.S. military had carried out airdrops of humanitarian aid to Iraqi religious minorities under siege by the extremists.
"Today America is coming to help," he said in a late-night statement from the White House.
The announcements reflected the deepest American engagement in Iraq since U.S. troops withdrew in late 2011 after nearly a decade of war.
Obama said the humanitarian airdrops were made at the request of the Iraqi government. The food and water supplies were delivered to the tens of thousands of Yazidis trapped on a mountain without food and water. The Yazidis, who follow an ancient religion with ties to Zoroastrianism, fled their homes after the Islamic State group issued an ultimatum to convert to Islam, pay a religious fine, flee their homes or face death.
Obama acknowledged that the prospect of a new round of U.S. military action would be a cause for concern among many Americans. He vowed anew not to put American combat troops back on the ground in Iraq and said there was no U.S. military solution to the crisis.
"As commander in chief, I will not allow the United States to be drawn into fighting another war in Iraq," Obama said.
The announcement came after militants from the Islamic State group seized Iraq's largest hydroelectric dam Thursday, giving them control of enormous power and water resources and leverage over the Tigris River that runs through the heart of Baghdad.
Thursday's dam seizure was the latest in a string of victories by the Sunni radical group as it expands its hold in northern Iraq, driving back Kurdish forces and sending minority communities fleeing.

More Bungs Talk
So, there are 17 transfers that have been singled out for further investigation by Lord Stevens. But the question remains, will anything come of it?
We've had so many investigations into these types of affairs that simply dissolve into nothing. Will this case be any different? Will any top managers be exposed as having taken bungs? Or will the fault lie with the agents?
Share your thoughts...Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Bring out the whitewash brushes-There is not a chance in hell that anything will happen!!! The F>A> is so tied up with the money men that they'd be committing suicide if they upset the big boys. If they can find some little club they can use as a scapegoat they will do so, but pigs will fly before they dare to go near the Prem. Bungs have been the norm for years, and will continue to be so in future.
If you want bung-free football try the kids leagues, and maybee you'll be lucky.
A Yahoo! User Dec 20, 2006 23:34 Flag
Football agents, or, to give them their proper name, football pimps, will always find a way to operate and to let a certain club know what is in the small print of the player's contract. There'll be a bit of woffle and perhaps a smaller club will be made an example of, but nobody going to point the finger seriously at the big teams, who never lose out on these dodgy goings on. Mobile phones and motorway service stations will continue to play a shady part in making sure that the top clubs will get who they want and nothing the FA will do is going to seriously affect the current status quo.

Hi, love your plugin, it does exactly what it says and it looks great too!
I have a couple of questions.
1. I have used the 'exclude these categories' setting to filter out the categories that I don't want showing up in the results. The only thing is, I actually want related posts to show up while a user is in a post in that category. For instance, I repost our newsletters in our blog but I don't want them showing up in the widget results but I want the users to be able to see related posts anyway from other categories). Can this be done?
2. Is there a way of displaying related posts in the archive pages too?

Monroe High School
Welcome to Monroe High School - Home of the Bearcats!
A Tradition of Excellence for 100 Years
June 2016
Parents and Families:
It is difficult to believe we are closing out another successful school year! Graduation ceremonies are only a few days away. This has been a tremendous spring semester for MHS. I have been impressed all year by the successes of our students and staff and this semester has been no different. I am so thankful for the support we receive from our parents, community and business partners. Watching their interactions with students and faculty reminds me why MHS truly is one of the best high schools in the state. I hope everyone will join us on Saturday, June 11 at Xfinity Arena in Everett to celebrate the Class of 2016.
During this semester, we also completed the Smarter Balanced Exams, End Of Course exams for Biology in addition to Advanced Placement testing. While this was stressful, our students kept their focus and did a great job. As our testing responsibilities continue to grow, I am thankful for our diligent faculty and focused students. I am confident that our students, regardless of the testing situation, are some of the top performing students in the state. I am extremely proud of all of the students' hard work. It is obvious, to me, that our students take their education seriously and strive to do their best.
Making good choices also impacts academic achievement. Despite state law changes, public schools remain drug free for students and adults as required by federal law.
Unfortunately, with so much in the media that message may have been confusing for some. In fact, many of Monroe's young people report that they believe there would be little or no consequence from officials for making unhealthy choices. I believe school staff and families agree that drugs are not welcome on our campus. To help reinforce that message, this spring we have developed a plan for greater clarity about expectations and safety.
You may recall reading about the practice some schools use with drug-detection dogs. After a vigorous discussion among many, we are continuing that practice. Teams from Monroe Police and other local jurisdictions will be working with school administrators. Only school officials will record any vehicle data when dogs indicate a concern and only school officials will follow up with students and their families. School discipline will result as is appropriate depending on each student's situation. The goal of all school actions is to help young people make good choices and get any help they need to do that.
Research is very clear that families play a big role in helping teens make healthy choices. Below are online resources that may be helpful in opening important discussion at home. Talk, they hear you. www.drugfree.org, and www.starttalkingnow.org.
We believe families and school staff share the goal of wanting our students to make good choices for their education and for life. We look forward to working with you and your student toward that goal.
Go Bearcats!

Corporate Advocacy Program™
After threatening legal consultation Rob decided to give me a call back on Friday, and so kindly went through his inspection report again with me. Let me list the reasons not use Major Home Inspections.
To understand my anger and his lack of ethics you need to understand the reporting system he uses for his report. It is computerized, and each section has a space for him to select a given item with an "X" mark, and follow it up with a number indicating the item needs repaired, consult a contractor, near end of lifespand ect. In short he needs to put an x next to the item he is describing.
Under the roofing section of his report he has noted no damage, indicated no repairs as being necessary and left me believing the roof was newly put on. He did not enter a single X or enter a number for me to contact a contractor for consultation.
In another section of the report he entered a 2 for consult a contractor for a basement bathroom window with weather damage. The funny part is I don't have a window in any of my bathrooms.
Rob is very inconsisten with his explaination, documentation and each time I talk to him I believe more and more he was working with my agent (who recommended him).
Rob tells me he didn't indicate the roof was brand new at all, even though witnesses heard him say it, he told me that he fully disclosed the issues with the roof and he stands by his work. He also told me he documented within the report the roof issues, and when I asked where he directed me to a page in the very end of a hundred page binder, behind several blank pages making you believe the report is finished. In a section labled the attic Rob indicates the issues with my roof.
Rob Major is as unethical as they come, he changes his storey with the weather, buries the truth in places he doesn't think you'll check and doesn't even have a brock and mortar address. This man says he stands by his work and he believes he is ethical even though his work, if unintentionally decietful is full of wholes, errors and could have been done by a third grader with more accuracy. I had another ASHI certified home inspector examine my house and Rob's report and he could read the report the way Rob explained it. If an industry professional of 20 plus years can't read the report with accurracy how can a common home buyer.
