We've told you about the most mind-blowing Easter eggs hidden in movies, music, video games, and even centuries-old works of art -- but there are other Easter eggs that don't require you to watch DVDs frame by frame or spend hours trying every possible button combination in Street Fighter II to seek them out. Hell, they don't even require you to leave your computer.
That's because some of the programs and websites you use every day are filled with hidden jokes or secret features that prove that programmers are even nerdier than we had assumed. Like ...
6 Creepy Hidden Messages in Your Web Browser
There's a creepy hidden message in the Web browser you're using right now. Assuming it's Mozilla Firefox. If it isn't, then kindly open Firefox and read that sentence again. We'll wait.
Every Mozilla browser includes a special "about" feature that allows you to configure certain sections just by typing "about:whatever" into the address bar. For example, if you type "about:about," you'll see a list of all the menus they offer. Some of the menus are actually cute Easter eggs, like "about:robots," which takes you to a page referencing things like Blade Runner, Futurama, and the eventual annihilation of all mankind.
via Firefox
See? It's cute, and not at all sinister foreshadowing.
However, if you type "about:mozilla," perhaps looking to learn a bit more about the browser, you'll come across a red screen with ominous Bible-like text written on it:
What the complete hell? What you've just read is an excerpt from the Book of Mozilla, an ongoing text of apocalyptic literature secretly inserted by Mozilla into each of its Web browsers dating back to when the company worked on AOL's Netscape in 1995. So if you typed "about:mozilla" 17 years ago, you'd see this:
And in 1998, when the next version came out, it looked like this:
When Mozilla launched its own browser, Firefox, they kept including the secret messages to maintain the tradition, and possibly preserve their pact with Lucifer. Here's the passage from 2003:
Apparently, each verse is a metaphor for one of the updates Mozilla has released. Hidden developer commentary in the code of the 1998 page confirms that the beast "Mammon" is actually Mozilla's main competitor, Microsoft Internet Explorer. The first verse we showed you says that Mammon has become "naught but a follower," a reference to the fact that the latest editions of Internet Explorer straight up ripped off several features from Mozilla. Among them was the "about:mozilla" page -- if you type that in some versions of Explorer, it takes you to a blank blue screen.

Or it might just be IE crashing.
5 You Can Play Snake in Any YouTube Video
So that hour-and-a-half Motley Crue concert from 1989 you want to watch on YouTube is taking forever to load, and you can't find your early 2000s Nokia phone anywhere to play a game of Snake while you wait. Don't worry: You can kill two birds with one stone, thanks to this Easter egg that turns any YouTube video into a retro gaming screen.
Snake is like a Human Centipede version of Pac-Man, if you think about it.
Seriously, just open up a random YouTube video (it only works if you're on YouTube.com, so we can't embed one here) and while the playback is paused, hold down the left arrow key and press up at the same time. Now be prepared to waste several hours chasing those damned dots and trying not to run into your own tail.
PROTIP: Play it on any video from Tron for extra radness.
After this Easter egg was discovered in 2010, people even started uploading black-screen videos specifically to make the gameplay easier, since many users who played Snake on top of the Dark Knight Rises trailer reported that they kept trying to eat the wart on Christian Bale's face.
But what if you're at work, where YouTube is blocked, and all this talk about Snake has made you nostalgic? Don't worry: If you're using a Mac, there are some games hidden on your computer that you probably didn't know about. For instance, open the Terminal application (in the Utilities folder), type "emacs," and then press Esc and X at the same time. Now type "snake" and voila.
via Mac OS X
In case you were wondering what Unix herpes looked like.
But that's not all: Repeat the same process with "tetris" instead of "snake" and see what happens. Yep, the classic puzzle game is here, too.
via Mac OS X
Remember when "productivity" was a thing?
Wanna play Pong? You know what to do.

Now do the same thing and type "call of duty: black ops 2" and ... OK, nothing happens. Maybe one day.

You are lucky to be getting 4-6 hrs a night! My LO didn't do this consistently until 3-4 months. And....we were putting some rice cereal in his bottles. Per his ped. because he was having a rough time with reflux and spitting up. However, I would not have done the cereal in bottles thing otherwise - that is essentially substituting cereal for BM which ideally shouldn't happen until around 6 mo. Stick to what you feel is best for your baby!
Mom to Jaxon born 5/1/09. He would not so we and !
You're doing a great job with your LO. 4-6 hours is nice at night isn't it? DS has been doing the same with me for the past 2 months or so. Do what works for you and your LO!
A little more than a month ago, my MIL was over when DS was going through a growth spurt so he was eating very often. About an hour between feedings (from start of one to the start of another).
My MIL suggested I put some cereal in a bottle and feed it to him so it "fills him up" I told her that my pedi wanted us to EBF for minimum 6 months before introducing any solids. That shut her up
I said that rather than "I dont want to feed him cereal" because then she couldn't argue with me. She's a very "I did it this way, so you should do it this way too" type of person and I've learned over the years that its better to say someone with a high education said something rather than just my opinion.
And then 2 or 3 days later, he had an appt and gained 2 lbs 2 oz from his last visit. Obviously what I was doing was working quite well.
So I know what its like when you not only get bad advice, but bad advice from family.

Extra police along with K-9 bomb units, undercover officers and parole and probation officers patrolled the grounds. Many wore bullet-proof vests.
Despite law enforcement's presence, a brawl between players broke out and involved at least one fan.
Cowboys cornerback Morris Claiborne laid a lick on Raiders tight end Mychal Rivera and players from both teams started to push and shove near a sideline and up against a fence where Raiders fans had gathered.
Dallas cornerback B.W. Webb told USA TODAY someone swung a helmet at the back of his head. When he spun around to see who was trying to attach him, Webb said it was a fan who had swung a helmet at him.
"That's definitely a dangerous situation," Webb said. "I don't know why fans would want to jump on this side of the fence. I don't think they'd like it too much on this side."
Oxnard, in Ventura County, has an ordinance in place preventing people from wearing Cowboys or Raiders jerseys in specific areas. Two of the county's most feared and violent gangs are known for wearing Cowboys and Raiders clothing.
Claiborne said he was on the bottom of the pile and was just hoping no one would rip his helmet off.
Another brawl brought an end to the joint practice. Cowboys fullback J.C. Copeland and Raiders linebacker Justin Cole were the main participants.
"That passion is what I had hoped to get out of getting these teams together," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told the Dallas Morning News. "This was great, the enthusiasm, the atmosphere. It's hard to believe this was a practice."

Well, we tried Nessa on organic rice cereal with probiotics (Happy Bellies brand I think) about 1.5 weeks ago, and she got green runny poo, a diaper rash and face eczema about 3-4 days later. So, we stopped the food and just nursed for a week. At that point she was 5.5 months old.
I'd like to offer her some solids, but I think we'll stay away from the cereals for now. Maybe start with sweet potato, butternut squash or avocado. She seems hungry for solids - talking while nursing, grabbing my food, doing the baby bird imitation every time I bring a bight to my mouth, etc. - but I'm not sure if her body is as ready as her brain is. She was a month early (never in NICU) and I wonder if her stomach and gut are really about 5 months old and I should just really ramp up the nursing for a month and put off solids for awhile more.
She is also teething like crazy (blistered gums, white dots where teeth will be) which I think might explain the diarrhea and face rash, right?
TIA, mamas!

Eagle celebration to return; update from the Delaware Highlands Conservancy
When the Sullivan West School District stopped heating the Narrowsburg school in 2011, it brought an end to EagleFest, which had been bringing hundreds and then thousands of visitors and their dollars into Narrowsburg in the middle of the winter since 2002. Without the school as a focal point of activity, the festival disappeared.
Now a new celebration of the eagle will return to the hamlet in an as yet undecided weekend in February 2014, according to Lori McKean, founder of the Eagle Institute, which merged with the Delaware Highland Conservancy (DHC) in 2012.
McKean visited the Sullivan County Legislature on December 5, and gave an update on the merger and the organization's activities.
She said the eagle event will not be called EagleFest, but instead Eagle Days, because she said there is no way the organization could start from scratch and immediately create the kind of event that the Narrowsburg community had created over a decade. McKean said the event will feature a raptor presentation at the Tusten Theatre, and a guided eagle tour.
She added that the Narrowsburg Chamber of Commerce is examining ways to "capture an audience" in the middle of winter.
Other eagle news
Kate Mitchell, the new development coordinator for DHC, who joined McKean in the presentation, said "One of the best resources we have is volunteers, and there are at least 50 people who volunteer for the eagle program."
The eagle program now includes eagle tours which are offered to guests at various lodgings that have joined the Green Lodging Partners Program, which is an arrangement in which guests who sign on automatically add a $2 donation to their hotel bill to help protect the environment of the Upper Delaware Valley. Participating lodgings include Ecce Bed and Breakfast, Settler's Inn and the James Manning House.
McKean also said the organization is having conversations with the New York Department of Conservation (DEC) about the possibility of moving the eagle blind that was built on Plank Road in the Town of Forestburgh. She said the blind is in a bad location, hidden in the trees in a location where eagles can't easily be seen. She said volunteers don't like to staff it because it is isolated.
Another initiative is the establishment of a new eagle observation area on Ten Mile River. She said, "There's eagle activity there, there's a need to educate people who go there already to watch eagles, so we're going to staff it with volunteers on weekends and see how that goes."
At one point, legislator Gene Benson said the he often sees eagles flying over and taking trout out of the Neversink River when he goes to work at the Fallsburg wastewater plant. He said, "I know we concentrate pretty much on the Delaware River; I'd like to concentrate on the other end of the county as well if possible."
Mitchell said, "That make sense."
Benson said, "There's actually a DEC fishing area this side of the plant and you can see the eagles from there."
McKean said, "I know, it's actually very unsexy to do your eagle watching at a wastewater plant [remarks interrupted by laughter] and the plant is why the eagles are there; and that's part of the education—it could definitely work."

Sources say an arrest is imminent in connection with the Boston Marathon bombings, after authorities refuted earlier reports that an arrest had already been made.
Boston police announced that an FBI news conference, which had been postponed twice Wednesday, would occur at 8 p.m. ET. But a few minutes later, the news conference was canceled.
CNN and the Associated Press had reported that a suspect was arrested early Wednesday afternoon, but a representative for the FBI, in an email to Hearst Television's Washington News Bureau, said that no arrest had been made. CNN retracted its report, while AP said its source "stood by the information even after it was disputed."
Boston Police also said no arrest had been made, but WCVB in Boston reported that its sources said an arrest was imminent.
WCVB reported that surveillance video taken by cameras at Lord & Taylor on Boylston Street helped authorities identify a suspect placing a bomb. AP reported Wednesday afternoon that authorities have an image of the potential suspect, but did not have the man's name.
A bomb threat forced the evacuation of the Moakley Federal Courthouse Wednesday at about 3 p.m. The courthouse is where any suspect would be brought to be arraigned on charges related to the bombing.
WCVB reporter Kelley Tuthill was inside the courthouse at the time and described someone on a loudspeaker issuing a "code red." The evacuation lasted about an hour before employees were allowed back inside, Tuthill reported.
Boston Mayor Thomas Menino confirmed that the investigation has made significant progress Wednesday.
Authorities investigating the deadly bombings at the Boston Marathon have recovered a piece of circuit board that they believe was part of one of the explosive devices, and also found the lid of a pressure cooker that apparently was catapulted onto the roof of a nearby building, an official said Wednesday.
A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation confirmed to AP that authorities have recovered what they believe are some of the pieces of the explosive devices. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because this person was not authorized to publicly discuss evidence in the ongoing investigation.
See FBI images of the evidence
Earlier, a federal law enforcement source with firsthand knowledge of the investigation told CNN that a lid to a pressure cooker thought to have been used in the bombings had been found on a roof of a building near the scene.
A person close to the investigation previously told AP the bombs consisted of explosives put in 1.6-gallon pressure cookers, one with shards of metal and ball bearings, the other with nails.
An unclassified bulletin was sent Tuesday evening to law enforcement agencies across the country and said that the bomb inside the backpack was an "improvised explosive device (IED)" made out of a common pressure cooker.
The FBI says the other explosive was in a metal container, but there wasn't enough evidence to indicate that it was a pressure cooker.
It was not known what was used to set off the two explosives that killed three people Monday and injured more than 170 others.
Monday's bombings killed 8-year-old Martin Richard, of Boston, 29-year-old Krystle Campbell, of Medford, Mass., and Lu Lingzi, a Boston University graduate student from China. More than 170 others were wounded in the attack.
President Barack Obama is expected to travel to Boston on Thursday to attend a memorial service for the victims.

Architecture unites art and science to create aesthetically pleasing structures that are also economical, functional and safe. From hospitals, libraries and schools, to businesses, hotels and residential homes, architects are responsible for the places in which we live, work, learn, meet, play, shop, govern, eat and worship. Rising populations and increasing emphasis on green buildings and sustainable design, as well as exciting trends such as bio-mimicry and modular design, ensure that architects and construction professionals will be in demand by an industry that is diverse, exciting and fulfilling.
The Architecture program at College of DuPage provides students with the artistic, technical, technological and theoretical expertise necessary for careers and further education in architecture and related fields. Depending on their goals and interests, students can choose between a number of degree and certificate programs that will enable them to pursue careers and upgrade skills in a variety of disciplines. In addition, the program includes pre-architecture programs that offer affordable tracks toward earning advanced degrees from baccalaureate-granting or professional architecture programs.

What is in this article?:
- Cotton's hot streak continues
- Slow economic recovery
- Record import levels
- Nothing highlights worldwide cotton like the U.S. cotton industry.
- The carryout is incredibly small — just over one month usage in the U.S.
- Whether these numbers hold up for the rest of 2011 is the big question.
More About:
Anthony Tancredi has been in the cotton business a long time. Never, he says, has he seen anything like the cotton market over the past year.
Tancredi is president of Allenberg Cotton Company in Cordova, Tenn. Speaking at the recent Southern Cotton Growers meeting, he says, "When CNBC starts playing cotton everyday, you know things have changed. Even on their website, cotton is listed as the No. 1 commodity."
"I've had more people ask me about cotton in the past year than in the previous 24 years I've been in the cotton business," he adds.
"Cotton is in a volatile marketing situation and as long as it remains this way, the best thing for a grower to do is to always expect the unexpected," Tancredi says.
How did we get into this situation? The worldwide depression officially ended in June 2009, and cotton prices jumped from 55 cents a pound to 75 cents a pound. Worldwide, more people planted cotton.
"Cotton supply worldwide went from being scarce to being a shortage and cotton jumped to $1.50 cents a pound and insanity was the normal course of action in the cotton market. Most of the moves we see now are based on emotion, not on economics," Tancredi says.
"There is a lot more interest in cotton globally. Supply is low, demand is high and prices follow demand. What cures high prices? High prices! Demand for cotton has slowed, but it's slowed much slower than anyone expected," he adds.
"For what seems like forever, we were side-ways with cotton. No matter how much demand there was globally, someone always had cotton to sell. At the end of last year, there was a massive draw down on supplies and for the first time in memory nobody had cotton to sell. That's the situation we're in now, Tancredi says.
Nothing highlights worldwide cotton like the U.S. cotton industry. The carryout is incredibly small — just over one month usage in the U.S. Whether these numbers hold up for the rest of 2011 is the big question.
Stocks to use ratio in the U.S. is a record low. Maybe for the first time in modern cotton history there just simply isn't enough cotton. Prices in the spot market and the futures market are incredibly volatile. Prices for cotton are moving around 10-15 cents, the differences in the spread just don't make any sense," Tancredi contends.

Child care providers lend weight to Shumlin planBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | April 09,2013MONTPELIER Child care providers have added their hands to the heavy political lift underway in the Vermont Senate, where the Shumlin administration is waging a long-shot bid to further underwrite child care through heavy cuts to a state program that provides cash to low-wage workers.
At a news conference Monday, a coalition of child care providers endorsed a plan from Gov. Peter Shumlin to boost child care subsidies by nearly $17 million. While none of the providers was eager to argue that reductions to the earned income tax credit are a good thing, they said the cuts are a worthwhile trade-off for needed investments in the child care industry.
The time is now where there are tough decisions being made, and its the time to prioritize, said Julie Coffey, executive director of the Building Bright Futures Council. We ask the Senate to increase those (child care subsidies) to the tune of $16.7 million. And we as an early childhood community accept if some of that comes out of the earned income tax credit.
In rejecting any increase in broad-based taxes, Shumlin has said that child care subsidies for low-income parents must come from elsewhere within the human-services budget.
This is what was put in front of us, said Jody Marquis, owner of a child care center in Newport. We are all being asked as a society to look at budgets, not spend more and not raise taxes. ... This is the best way to take those funds and redistribute the money in a way that they get a better return on their investment.
Child care providers are putting more than words behind their advocacy. Vermont Birth to Three, one of the groups represented at the news conference Monday, has hired the Statehouse lobbying firm KSE Partners to push for the cuts to the tax credit.
Lawmakers in the House were less amenable to the trade-off. The body last month approved tax and budget bills that included no cuts to the earned income tax credit. The House used a patchwork of other revenue sources to come up with $3.3 million to increase child care subsidies.
The earned income tax credit in most instances provides direct cash benefits far in excess of recipients actual tax liabilities. But lawmakers nonetheless derided the governors plan as a tax increase on poor people. The program benefits about 40,000 of the lowest-wage earners in the state.
Barbara Saunders, co-director of the Mary Johnson Childrens Center in Middlebury, said she appreciates that the House found room for modest increases to the child care subsidy program. But she said the $3.3 million wont provide a measurable difference to a system under strain.
The $16.7 million changes the game, she said.
Shumlins proposal represents a 40 percent increase in state funding for the Child Care Financial Assistance program. It would boost reimbursement rates to providers by an average of 25 percent and raise the income threshold at which parents would be eligible for subsidies. An estimated 900 families would become newly eligible.
Melissa Riegel-Garrett, with the Vermont Association for the Education of Young Children, said existing subsidies have fallen well below the cost to deliver care and that providers serving lower-income families must make a choice between eating that difference, or asking families to make up that difference.
To underscore the severity of the situation, Riegel-Garrett used the financial scenario now facing a family of four with a household income of less than $24,000 per year. If the family has one infant and one preschool-age child in a licensed child care center, according to Riegel-Garrett, theyd face out-of-pocket costs of $443 per month 23 percent of their total earnings.
(Parents) leave care not because they choose to, but because they build up a large balance owed and theyre unable to pay for the service, Riegel-Garrett said.
But lawmakers have by and large said the benefits of the increased child care subsidies are outweighed by the harm that would be caused by cuts to the tax credit. The proposed reductions would cut the state portion of the benefit by two-thirds (it would leave untouched the federal tax credit on which the state has chosen to piggyback). Recipients would lose close to $400 per year on average, and only a small fraction of households receiving the benefits would be able to make use of the higher child care subsidies.
The proposal could be as hard a sell in the Senate as it was in the House. Sen. Tim Ashe, the Democratic-Progressive chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, has been especially outspoken about the proposed reductions in the earned income tax credit. In an interview with Vermont Public Radio last week, he called the governors plan beyond the pale.
Senate President John Campbell has so far declined to commit even to the lower figure for child care subsidies in the House budget.
Providers say that without additional investments, the state risks bankrupting a child care system on which its future economy relies.
Vermonts prosperity today and in the future depends on our ability to provide children the solid foundation they need to lead our communities and grow our economy as adults, Riegel-Garrett said.

BioWare has been the subject of some fan rage in the week since Mass Effect 3 launched after code was discovered on the game's disc for the "From Ashes" day one DLC despite the developer's previous claims that the add-on content wasn't completed until after the main game was submitted in complete form. A new statement from Electronic Arts issued to Game Informer addresses those concerns directly.
You'll find the statement after the jump, but let's make a few more facts clear first. The code discovered on the Mass Effect 3 disc doesn't cover the complete "From Ashes" material, which is a 632MB download (or thereabouts) from your online service of choice. The discovery was made in the PC version of the game, with a tech-savvy gamer discovering that the pack's unlockable squadmate could be unlocked by changing a line of code.
Here's what EA had to say:
"From Ashes is a 600 MB+ download with all new content, including the mission on Eden Prime, new dialogue options and conversations with Javik, new cinematics, the Prothean weapon, and new appearances for all squad members. All of the above content was completed while the main game was in certification and are not available on the disc.
"As stated previously, in order to seamlessly integrate Javik into the core campaign, certain framework elements and character models needed to be put on disc. We did something similar with Zaeed and Kasumi in Mass Effect 2."

Trans-Siberian Orchestra -- Wilkes Barre, PA -- April 9th, 2010
So, where to start...
First I should say that I had very, very high expectations for this show. This was essentially the one thing I had been waiting for as a fan of TSO - that one day they would take the shows back to the more intimate setting of theaters, where they started - and give the Beethoven's last Night album (my favorite of theirs) the proper staging it deserved. Now that being said, I had my huge reservations due to the fact that I think Paul O'Neill (the "boss" of TSO) has a habit of taking virtually every good thing and fucking it up - not to mention none of the album's original vocalists would be doing the tour - especially Jon Oliva and Zak Stevens. Nevertheless, I was prepared to have a good time.
We got to the FM Kirby Center around quarter of 7pm, and had surprisingly absolutely no issues with the Paperless Ticketing system, which seemed to work very smoothly. We waited in the lobby until about 7:20, when we made our way down to our seats which were 5th row, on the right side of the left-center section. I was pretty surprised at how great the seats actually were. Around 8pm Chris Caffery came out to present a check to the Red Cross, and about 10 minutes later, the show was under way.
The show began with a fairly "cold" start, not much in the way of intro music or ambiance - the lights dimmed, the opening notes of the "Overture" started up, and everyone walked out. The next 2 hours solid consisted of the entire Beethoven's last Night album. Now, rather than give a very lengthy track-by-track, I'll simply hit my highlights and criticisms:
First of all, every track with the mighty Rob Evan (Beethoven) was incredible. I've been a huge fan of his voice for a long time, and he is just amazing. Absolutely perfect pitch, and his delivery was excellent - with his Broadway experience giving him the perfect dramatic touch. Moreso than anyone else, you truly felt he WAS the character. And he pointed at me in "This is Who You Are" which was just great.
Other very strong points: Jay Pierce did a great job as "Twist", nearly perfectly matching the performance on the CD, which I was not expecting. John Brink (Young Beethoven) was probably the best surprise performance of the show, it's a damn shame this guy (kid, practically, he is no older than his early 20s) only got one song ("Vienna") because he really ruled. Perfect performance, perfect delivery. The audience loved him. Jeff Scott Soto did a fine job with the Jon Oliva tunes, and had a very devil-ish charm to him. The chorus of "Mephistopheles" was amazingly epic. Also, props to him for really matching Jon note-for-note (and laugh-for-laugh) on "Misery".
Instrumentally I really can't fault the show at all except for a few very specific points. First, I've always been bothered by how they castrate some of the material by dramatically slowing it down. The songs are fine the way they are, they don't need to lose 15bpms. It's not annoying at all on some songs but on others it's a massive annoyance. Also, "Misery" tended to sound somewhat... watered down. The devilish aggression of the song was somewhat lost to more of a "Creeping", laid back feel. Aside from that, no complaints about the band, everyone played really well. Instrumental highlights were Mozart and Madness, A last Illusion, Beethoven, and the instrumental section of "The Dark", during which I truly felt as though I was witnessing a late 90's Savatage performance. Al Pitrelli absolutely ruled that solo.
Now, onto some of my more legit complaints. First of all, the stupid whorey dancing needs to die. All of it. Now, I am a straight male, I don't fundamentally hate women dancing - but I do when it completely obstructs the mood and feeling of the story, and seems completely forced just to "sex" up the show. When the girls decided to come out in the second half f "After the Fall", I had a complete facepalm moment, it just killed the vibe. Other than that it was basically completely confined to instrumentals, mostly the ones in the "encore". I am not too hot on the decision to make "The Dark" sung by a girl in stead of Zak Stevens, but I understand the decision to want to represent "Muses" with a girl instead of a guy - and it was a solid performance by Valentina Porter, though outshined by her performance on "A Final Dream". The role of Theresa was taken on by TSO newcomer Chloe lowery, who was a bit of a mixed bag. Overall all her performances were solid, but they weren't stunning, and her dress was cut a bit too provocatively, making it somewhat hard to concentrate on the "right" things. "Dreams of Candlelight" was her weak point, but the other two were quite good. I'm not convinced they couldn't have found someone better, but it wasn't a bad decision.
Finally, we have "Believe". I have been fundamentally against the decision for TSO to play and rerecorded this song, and that hasn't changed. I particularly have voiced my disapproval of vocalist Tim Hockenberry's very processed, psuedo-dramatic vocals, and that too hasn't changed. However, the song still retained quite a bit of its power in the live element. It didn't bring me to tears as it did when Jon Oliva (and his "Pain") performed it, but it was still very much "alive", especially when seeing Caffery and Pitrelli play the duel solo together. I sang every word, Oliva-isms included, and it still managed to be a great aspect of the show on the whole, even with my negative points about it.
So, that about does it for the show. Oh yes, Jeff Plate threw me a drumstick, which was super cool of him. We waited in the signing line after the show, actually specifically til the very end, so we wouldn't be rushed through it so much. The performers were a mixed bag, but most of the ones I was specifically looking to meet were very cool. Most of. Unfortunately one of the most highly anticipated, Al Pitrelli, was a dick. And not very subtle about it either. He signed my 3 booklets I brought for him, but I didn't even dare ask for a picture, because he was just so incredibly cold and downright rude. I was pretty put off by it, and it was probably the rudest I've ever been treated by a member of a band I was looking forward to meeting. Thankfully everyone else made up for it. This was the first time I had seen Caffery since playing two shows with him last September, and he was really nice and really cool, seemed happy to see me again. Johnny lee Middleton was super-cool, and apparently already knew who I was thanks to Facebook, as did Rob Evan, who was probably the coolest of the whole bunch. He was very inquisitive about whether or not the show lived up to my expectations and what I specifically thought of his performance. Probably one of the coolest and nicest people I've ever met.
After loitering in the lobby for a while, we hit the road around midnight, and got home around 1:30. All in all, a very very good show. Was it amazing? No. Was it great? Yes. Would I go again? Definitely.

Great Review. For years, I was really looking forward to this tour happening, although I had always envisioned it with the lineup on the record, so needless to say, I was very disappointed that was not going to be the case. Beethoven's Last Night is a masterpiece. I truly love that album. That being said, I'm not really a fan of TSO in general. As long as their is a TSO, there will never be a Savatage again. It frustrates and angers me to no end that my favorite band essentially died twice. First with Criss Oliva, then with TSO. Not to mention I don't really approve of them using images of his guitar in a snowglobe, covering Believe, etc. I have been front row, watching Jon with tears in his eyes, belting out so much emotion during this song, I have laughed and cried with Jon over his brothers memory, I have been to Criss Oliva's grave, and no one should be singing this song other than Jon Oliva, end of story. In a way one could say that it's cool that Criss is being represented and remembered, but seriously, how many people in a typical TSO crowd (besides a handful of Savatage fans) even cares/knows who Criss Oliva is? I highly doubt the soccer mom in the 3rd row is running out to buy Gutter Ballet or Hall of the Mountain King. Now on the positive, I am happy that TSO is a great source of income for Jon and the other Savatage members. Hell, after all they have been through, they deserve it! Sorry for my TSO rant, back to topic at hand, glad you enjoyed the show. Had I gone, and if I wasn't so jaded, I'm sure I would have enjoyed it too!
Told you so
12/17 Metallica?
That's why I hated it. Love my stubs collection, good to hear I'll still be getting ones from my Maiden shows.
6/17 - Meshuggah
6/28 - Iron Maiden - Bergen, Norway
6/29 - Blaze Bayley - Bergen, Norway
7/1 - Iron Maiden - Luxembourg
10/31 - Fleetwood Mac
I'm torn about Believe. I love the song and actually think Tim does a great job with it vocally, and it says something about how great the song is that many people I know consider it the highlight of the TSO winter show since they started doing it. That being said, to me that song is so tied to Criss its really hard to hear that song without either Jon singing it or Criss playing it. Then again I'm just glad I got to hear it played live. I never saw it played live when Jon was doing it with his band or when Savatage played it. So I guess for purely selfish reasons I'm ok with it. But I'm certainly conflicted.
What I like less is that they redid and are playing "The Mountain" if anything to me that is more tied to Criss because of his amazing guitarwork in that song, and its so counter to the audience of TSO anyways, it just doesn't fit. Yes its tied to a composer but its much heavier and feature's much more of a metal vibe than any of their other stuff. If they had wanted to do another Savatage song they should have done Memory which is also off Dead Winter Dead. Its short but its much more in the wheelhouse of current TSO stuff.

This week's reviews: It's a bad flashback, man
The Columbus Dispatch - January 31, 2014 10:40 AM
The past can be a difficult thing to overcome. See O.J. Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and Cleveland sports franchises for confirmation. This is the theme that binds Labor Day by Jason Reitman together. Unfortunately, the flashbacks that tell the story are the force that pulls it apart.
Starring Josh Brolin, Kate Winslet, Tobey Maguire and newcomer Gattlin Griffith, Labor Day focuses on the relationship between single mother Adele (Winslet) and escaped convict Frank (Brolin).
Reitman is a talented director who finds success in varied settings. Unfortunately, he, like his film, found himself tripped up by the past, according to critic
"Labor Day marks only the fifth movie for Jason Reitman, who has made careful construction a distinguishing feature of his films (Juno, Thank You for Smoking, Up in the Air, Young Adult)," Sharkey said.
"He stumbles with Labor Day: Absent the contemporary vibe he captured so effortlessly before, the film is set in a small New Hampshire town, circa 1987, and given the ethos of a period piece. Then there is the matter of the past, which haunts the film."

U.S. U19 Men's Team Visits Freedom Tower, 9/11 Memorial
The U.S. U19 men's national team got a up close and personal taste of what it means to represent the United States this weekend. The above picture, passed along by US Lacrosse Director of National Teams Nathaniel Badder, was taken Sunday on the 84th floor of the under-construction Freedom Tower in Lower Manhattan.
As part of a team weekend in New Jersey and New York City, the group also visited the 9/11 Memorial and listened to a talk from former Army men's lacrosse player John Fernandez, who lost his legs serving in Iraq. Fernandez, a spokesperson for the Wounded Warrior Project, spoke about honor, courage, committment and sacrifice.
The team also met Saturday in Mt. Lakes, N.J., where they held a youth clinic.

Alum visit recalls North Central history
[caption id="attachment_1230" align="alignright" width="210" caption="Bill Wolf '56, left, tours Fine Arts Center with Brian Lynch, fine arts director"][/caption] A North Central alumnus with strong family ties to a local Methodist church returned to campus from out of state for a visit on Dec. 30. The Rev. Wilmert (Bill) Wolf Jr., a 1956 graduate of North Central, was particularly interested in seeing Meiley-Swallow Hall—the former Grace Evangelical United Brethren Church at 31 S. Ellsworth St. Bill's father, the Rev. Wilmert Wolf, was pastor of the congregation. The elder Bill Wolf graduated from North Central in 1926 and returned to teach political science and history here. He later served as president of the College's Board of Trustees and helped plan the libraries for the college and Evangelical Theological Seminary that was then part of the College. The younger Bill Wolf, visiting from Pennsylvania with his wife Marianne and daughter Karin Wolf Snodgrass, hadn't seen Meiley-Swallow Hall since its renovation was completed in 2007. "For eight years I was custodian of this building," Wolf said. "I blew out the boiler." Wolf has fond memories of his years at North Central, and remembers attending an early-morning Shakespeare class taught by the late Dick Eastman. "Liberal arts colleges like North Central brought culture and education to the masses in the Midwest," he said. Wolf and his family also toured the Wentz Concert Hall and Fine Arts Center. Associate Professor of English Judith Brodhead, archivist Kim Butler and Fine Arts Director Brian Lynch accompanied the Wolfs on their tour.

A city known for amazing food, exciting music and first-class performing arts, Kansas City,
Missouri, is a fabulous place to visit. If you are looking for Kansas City
hotels, Extended Stay America has several great places to stay, each offering comfortable
accommodations and exceptional rates.
Many cities are known for their cuisine, but few actually
have sauces and cuts of meat named for them. If you are coming to Kansas City, you'd better come
In the case of one real inner-city treat, Kansas City-style barbecue, it is all
about the sauce. With over 100 barbecue restaurants, Kansas City deserves its title as the
"World's Barbecue Capital." If you have the serious misfortune of only being able to choose on
Kansas City barbecue spot, visit Arthur Bryant's. A favorite of U.S. Presidents and moviemakers
alike, Arthur Bryant's delivers authentic Kansas City "que".
From the heyday of the Kansas
City Stockyards, this area has been known for producing mouthwatering beef. For a taste of history
with your beef, check out Golden Ox. Opened in 1949 to serve cattle ranchers delivering their
herds to the stockyards, the Golden Ox claims to be where the Kansas City strip steak was
The railroad played a big role in Kansas City's growth, so it comes as no surprise
that Union Station has been turned into a popular tourist attraction. You can spend the entire day
here, visiting the Engineerium, where children learn to build, or taking in the star show at the
Gottlieb Planetarium. Union Station is also home to Science City, an amazing attraction where you
can ride a bike 30 feet above the ground, pilot a space shuttle and enjoy numerous other fun
For music enthusiasts, a trip to the American Jazz Museum is in order. Here you

and Light District. With over a half million square feet of restaurants, night clubs, theaters and
more, this district lives up to its claim as the Midwest's premier entertainment
Kansas City is also a city of fine museums. Lovers of traditional art will enjoy
an afternoon at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. With over 33,000 pieces, the Nelson-Atkins is an
outstanding general art museum. For something a little more modern, you may want to visit the
Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. Whatever your favorite medium, the Kemper is always
They say that art is in the eye of the beholder. To some people, a sleek, loud
Harley-Davidson motorcycle is a work of art. If this describes you, then visit Harley-Davidson's
358,000 square-foot plant and take a tour. After viewing the video, you will tour the factory
floor and get a first-hand glimpse of how America's most iconic motorcycle is built.
City is a wonderful city for sports lovers. The Chiefs have been thrilling football fans here
since 1960. Baseball fans are always in for an enjoyable day when they take in a home game of the
Kansas City Royals. Like much of the U.S., Kansas City has discovered professional soccer. The
Kansas City Wizards keep cheering fans on their feet from March through October.
Golfers are
also sure to enjoy their time here since Kansas City has plenty of fun golf courses. One
exceptional option is Shoal Creek Golf Club. Host of the 2010 Kansas City Amateur Tournament,

- Title
- Performance analysis of IEEE 802.11 WLANs with saturated and unsaturated sources
- Author(s)
- Nguyen, Suong H.; Vu, Hai L.; Andrew, Lachlan L. H.
- Abstract
- This paper proposes a comprehensive but tractable model of IEEE 802.11 carrying traffic from a mixture of saturated and unsaturated (Poisson) sources, with potentially different quality-of-service (QoS) parameters, i.e., TXOP limit, CWmin, and CWmax. The model is used to investigate the interaction between these two types of sources, which is particularly useful for systems seeking to achieve load-independent 'fair' service differentiation. We show that, when the TXOP limit for unsaturated sources is greater than one packet, batches are distributed as a geometric random variable clipped to TXOP limit. Furthermore, we present asymptotic results for access delay distribution, which indicates that it is infeasible to obtain real-time service in the presence of eight or more saturated sources, regardless of the real-time traffic load, given that all stations use a CWmin of 32.
