Richard Childress Racing
Recent News
ESPN.com: The 3 is Back, and That is Good
December 13, 2013
Richard Childress knows that he can't make everyone happy. But he's going to try.
As the covers were pulled off of the race cars that Austin Dillon will drive in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2014, the first to use the famous slanted "3" on their doors since the death of Dale Earnhardt, the look on the face of the man who owns those cars wasn't nervousness. It wasn't anxiousness. It wasn't sadness or even relief. You see, he's already run a 13-year obstacle course of those feelings, over and over and over again.
No, as Childress took a step back and scanned that black-and-white Dow Chemical Chevy, a race car that looked so classic and yet so new all at once, his expression was that of a man filled to the brim with pure excitement.
Now he's hoping that everyone else will eventually join him in that same excitement. But he knows that will never happen.
"There's no way we can ever make 100 percent of everybody happy by the decisions that we make concerning the No. 3," he said following the announcement, when it was just him, the race cars, and the team left in the once-crowded Charlotte Motor Speedway auditorium. "But I also know that the attitude among the fans has really changed. Years ago, after Dale died, so many of them told us we could never bring back the 3.
"Now most of the folks we hear from have been asking when it was coming back. There's still that 5 percent who don't ever want it to come back. Maybe we can win them over one day, too."
As the sun rose Wednesday morning, about six hours before the news conference, I had tested those waters myself. I tweeted a simple question: "Today they announce the 3 returns … How do we feel about that?" To my surprise, but as Childress would later confirm, the vast majority of the responses essentially said, "Yes, it's time" or "Yes, I'm ready now."
But yes, the holdouts are still there. They worry about disrespecting Earnhardt's memory. They worry about how they will react emotionally when they see that No. 3 roll through that fourth turn at Daytona. And they worry that Dillon, 23 years old with only 13 career Cup Series starts, hasn't done enough to deserve the honor of wearing that digit on his door.
I get those points of view. I respect them. As a race fan, someone who knew Earnhardt, and someone who started covering the sport at the peak of his legend, I too have wrestled with those same issues.
But then I look at the face of Richard Childress and see, finally, a happy man. No matter how big a Dale Earnhardt fan you might be, you weren't a bigger Earnhardt fan than Childress.
No matter how much you cried after Earnhardt's death, you didn't cry as much as Childress. And no matter how much you may have stressed, struggled and lost sleep over the future of Earnhardt's number and legacy, you have no idea how many sleepless nights it has caused Childress. The first of which took place on Feb. 18, 2001.
That was the night after Earnhardt's death. When he stood on a floating dock in Daytona at the home of NASCAR president Mike Helton and decided, to hell with it all, he was getting out of racing altogether. It had killed friends before. Now it had killed his best friend. He was done.
But then he remembered a conversation by a campfire seven years earlier. A horrible horse riding accident during a hunting trip in New Mexico had nearly killed Childress and Earnhardt both. That night they made a promise to one another that if one of them ever died, even if it was in a race car, that the other would keep going.
So, when Earnhardt was gone, Childress kept his promise and kept going. But not before shelving the No. 3 (he took 29 only because it was the next one available that was closest to his other car number) until the time was right to bring it back. "If," he's often said to me, "that time ever comes."
Now it has.
Childress knows that the time has finally come because Dillon, his grandson who came to "Pop-Pop" as a teenager and asked to run the number, has worked his way up the ladder to NASCAR's top series, winning races and championships all along the way.
He knows that the time has finally come because he has heard from every member of the Earnhardt family with their blessing. In fact, whenever they've wanted to use the number in their own racing, it was Childress they called to ask for permission.
He knows that the time has finally come because on Wednesday he stood at the podium, looked around the room, and saw the faces of an ever-shrinking fraternity, the people who worked alongside Childress and Earnhardt when they ruled the sport. Men like Don Hawk, who ran Earnhardt's business interests; J.R. Rhodes, who was Earnhardt's public relations rep; and Chocolate Myers, lifelong gas-can man of Earnhardt's "Flying Aces" pit crew. To a man, they nodded and smiled with their approval.
But most of all, he knows that it's time to revive the No. 3 because of another one of the conversations that he had with Earnhardt. Actually, it was a series of conversations, many of which also took place by a campfire.
"We had so many talks about the future of Richard Childress Racing and his team [Dale Earnhardt Incorporated]," Childress said. "We talked about his family and my family and where they all might fit in one day. But, man, we talked so much about the No. 3. What I might do with it one day. Who might drive it when he was retired … "
Then Childress started to beam. The kind of smile he used to sport on a regular basis back when Dale was still around. The smile that had vanished for so long.
"I'm just so excited," he said. "There's an excitement at the race shop. I think about Dale being here for this and I just know he'd be excited, too. Over the years I've worried so much over doing the right things to keep this team up front and doing all that I can to grow Dale's legacy. This does both.
"So many nights I've lain in bed awake and prayed for guidance to make the right decisions. I know Dale's helping me out. And I know he's looking down and watching today and he's seeing that 3 on that race car and he's excited, too."
That's good enough for me. It should be good enough for everyone.

Bark park aims to expand; Neighbors raise questions about noise
The purpose of the park is "to attract happy, friendly dogs and happy, friendly dog owners, and we evaluate every dog that comes to the park, and if that dog has a poor disposition, we don't want that dog, we don't want that person."
That was Dave Rickert, owner and operator of the Sunset Ranch Bark Park, speaking at a public hearing at the Texas Township meeting on June 17. Rickert has applied for a conditional use permit, which would allow him to build a 50-foot by 200-foot building which would hold a kennel for up to 40 dogs.
The bark park is located on a 105-acre property with five miles of manicured trails that are open to members and their canines. Dog owners are charged $10 to take advantage of the park for a day or $50 for a month. There is a two-acre fenced area near the center of the property where dogs can play off the leash.
The proposed addition would allow the facility to board up to 40 dogs, and would include an indoor therapy pool, and an indoor play area. Rickert said his plans include having a veterinarian live at the facility. He and his wife Natalie also plan to move to the ranch.
One of Rickert's neighbors, Jim Hegge, raised concerns about the noise that the dogs might make.
Rickert said, "I would say that the dogs that visit the park make less noise than any of the surrounding farms." Texas Township zoning requires that kennels be located no closer than 125 feet to the nearest house. Rickert said his kennel would be located more than 3,000 feet from the nearest house.
Supervisor Don Doney said that some conditions would be placed on the permit to protect Rickert's neighbors on Bear Swamp Road in case the property was ever sold to another operator. One requirement might be that a person must be on the premises at all times, and another might deal with the disposal of dog waste.
The supervisors have 45 days to make a decision on the matter.
Firefighters Cancer Presumption Act
In other news, Jeffrey Kyle of DGK Insurance and Financial Services reviewed the insurance policy of the township. The cost of workers compensation insurance is jumping from $10,051 last year to $13,693 this year. The reason for the increase is because of the Firefighters Cancer Presumption Act which was passed in Pennsylvania in 2011.
Kyle said, "If a firefighter contracts cancer and they can show that within the previous 600 weeks, or 12 years, that they were exposed to class-one carcinogens—and when they go out to any kind of structure fire that's what they are exposed to—the presumption is that the cancer was caused by the firefighting duties."
He said that many states have similar laws, but the Pennsylvania law applies for any form of cancer, which has driven the cost of worker's compensation insurance higher for firefighters, and under state law, municipalities must pay for workers compensation for firefighters.

Hi everyone,
So today I discovered that my mil has been putting a cube of the baby's food into a sandwich baggie then putting the baggie into hot water to melt his food. Just like milk. This worries me bc I've heard that heating food in sandwich bags allows the chemicals of the plastic to leech onto the food and I def. don't want that happening to my son's food. I know this allows the food to heat up much faster but I'm wondering what else could too w/out the possible chemical effects. Could she do the same thing with a baggie to store milk in? That what she was used to doing back when my lo actually drank his milk.

Daniel Webster tabs McCambly and Fimiani to lead inaugural varsity hockey programsJune 19,2014
Daniel Webster tabs McCambly and Fimiani to lead inaugural varsity hockey programs
NASHUA, N.H. Daniel Webster College has announced the hiring of two former Norwich University mens ice hockey standouts to lead their inaugural mens and womens varsity hockey programs in 2014-15.
Eric McCambly 94 has been named the head mens coach after spending six years at SUNY Canton, guiding the Roos to three ACHA National Tournament appearances and compiling a 115-40-5 record from 2007-2013.
McCambly scored 32 goals and notched 28 assists for 60 points in 82 career games played at Norwich.
I am excited to join the Daniel Webster College community, said McCambly in a press release on Daniel Websters Athletic Website. As DWC expands the growth of NCAA Division III ice hockey in my home town of Nashua, Im equally excited to work with a supportive and innovative group of faculty and staff here at the College. I look forward to expanding the work of longtime program supporters and coaches such as Paul Labarre, Jean-Guy Letarte, and John McAnespie.
My intent is to establish a strong foundation and field a competitive program with an emphasis on graduating outstanding civic-minded young men in four years, McCambly added. My goal is to create one of the most competitive ice hockey programs in the northeast that will vie for a conference and a national title in the years to come.
DJ Fimiani 10 will take the reins of the Daniel Webster College womens ice hockey program after spending three years as an assistant coach with the Salve Regina mens hockey team.
Fimiani was part of a Cadets program that posted a combined four-year record of 81-24-8 and served as assistant captain with the 2010 NCAA Division III National Champion squad that went 26-1-4. His career also included four straight ECAC East regular season championships, two ECAC East Tournament titles, three NCAA tournament appearances, and two NCAA final fours. He retired with 86 points over 102 contests.
I am excited about the opportunity of starting the new womens program here at DWC and look forward to building the program from the bottom up, said Fimiani in a Daniel Webster Athletics press release. I think we have a great competitive advantage in recruiting and in the next few years we will be building towards a competitive level while promoting the academics and hockey brand name her at Daniel Webster College.
In the short term I hope to establish a ground floor by introducing young women to the college hockey world and prepare them for the level of competition at which they will be playing, Fimiani continued. By recruiting locally, nationally, and even internationally, I expect that over time that we will be able to compete at a conference and ultimately at a national level.
In other Norwich hockey news, mens hockey all-time leading scorer Keith Aucoin 01 signed a deal with Ambrì-Piotta in Switzerland. Aucoin is coming off spending the 2013-14 season playing in the St. Louis Blues organization for their AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves. Aucoin scored 11 goals and tallied 32 assists for 43 points in 62 games for the Wolves. He ranks seventh on the all-time AHL scoring list with 857 points in 13 seasons.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Man faces felony charge of driving while using drugsAugust 05,2013Police: Drugs a factor in crash
BENNINGTON A North Bennington man is facing felony charges after police said they believed he had been using a depressant drug before causing a crash in Bennington.
David J. Corcuera, 34, was arraigned last week on a felony charge of driving under the influence of a drug, a felony charge of refusing to submit to a blood test and a misdemeanor charge of grossly negligent driving.
In an affidavit, Officer John Behan of the Bennington Police Department said he was dispatched to investigate a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of North Bennington Road and Hannaford Shopping Plaza around 7:50 a.m. July 14. There were no reported injuries.
Behan said one driver, Helen Morey, 71, said she was driving east on North Bennington Road and had come to a stop at a traffic light when the other car, driven by Corcuera, hit her in the back. A witness told Behan that what she had seen while walking on North Bennington Road supported Moreys story.
When Behan spoke to Corcuera, he noticed signs of impairment, according to the affidavit. Corcuera told Behan he did not take any drugs for which he did not have a prescription but said he is part of a methadone program because of a previous drug problem.
Corcuera was taken to the Bennington police station where Cpl. Andy Hunt, a Bennington police officer who is a nationally certified drug recognition expert, said he believed Corcuera was under the influence of a central nervous system depressant drug.
Corcuera declined to provide a blood sample.
According to court records, Corcuera has been previously convicted of driving under the influence of substances in July 2006 in Vermont and January 2009 in New York.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Baseline data is key as climate change and other human impacts rapidly alter the whales' habitats.great deal about them remains a mystery, especially in the Antarctic, and Pitman and Durban are now gathering basic information about their behavior and feeding habits . This baseline data is particularly important since climate change and other human impacts, such as overfishing and the accumulation of toxic chemicals, are rapidly altering the whales' habitats and their prey.
As many as four generations of killer whales travel together, passing on cultural information from one generation to the next.whales. The men studied a hunting technique known as "wave-washing," in which a pod of whales moves through ice floes, its members lifting their heads out of the water — a behavior known as "spy-hopping" — looking for their preferred meal: fat, fish-eating Weddell seals. Once they spotted a seal on an ice floe, the whales called in reinforcements and, two to seven abreast, swam toward the floe and washed the seal off the ice by creating a large wave with powerful strokes of their tails. Pitman and Durban then observed what they call the "butchering" of seals, with the whales first drowning the seals and then meticulously stripping off their skin to get at the choice flesh.
One whale made a 6,000-mile round-trip journey from Antarctica to Brazil in just 42 days.time in the strait.

A sunning snake
July 19, 2012 —
Northern water snakes are our neighbors here in Narrowsburg, where we enjoy observing the heavy-bodied Nerodia sipedon living along the banks and in the waters of Little Lake Erie.
This aquatic snake can grow to more than 50 inches in length and swims easily across water, submerging itself to escape harm if threatened. Although it is not venomous, if provoked or cornered, it may defend itself by flattening its body and striking repeatedly. Not surprisingly, such bites can be extremely painful and can become infected.
Characterized by a large head, the Northern water snake sports bands of variable reddish-brown to dark grey interspersed with lighter caramel or beige tones. They can give birth to up to 30 live young.
In addition to basking on sun-warmed rocks, this snake can sometimes be spotted draped among branches of shrubbery along the vegetated shorelines of lakes, ponds, streams and rivers.

Voodoo And A Series Win
Scoring runs against the veteran pitcher Andy Pettitte of the Yankees is no small feat. The Phillies did a descent job hitting him tonight, although they let several opportunities pass by. A Ryan Howard single scored Shane Victorino in the 4th inning. Then in the 5th, Victorino hit a 2-run homer.
Things looked promising in the 7th inning as well while the Phils loaded the bases with only one out. But scoring runs has been the Achilles heel of this team for an entire month now. Placido Polanco grounded into a fielder's choice which erased Carlos Ruiz on his way home. Then Howard struck out on another low and outside pitch, something he seem to make a habit of. All the offense could do was pray that this inning would not come back to haunt them.
Kyle Kendrick stepped up to the challenge of pitching against the veteran Pettitte and kept the team in the game. Through 7 innings, Kendrick allowed one run on 4 hits and 2 walks. Despite getting himself into a multitude of bad situations, Kendrick kept his composure and did not fold under the pressure. That, more than his pitching, was the most impressive part of his game.
Not as impressive is the still struggling Chase Utley, who went hitless. Yesterday, Utley resorted to voodoo magic to try to jump-start his swing. He laid out a pattern on the clubhouse floor using bats, Red Bull and a variety of fruits. Then today, batting coach Milt Thompson reportedly built a shrine to Jobu, the voodoo doll used in the movie Major League. Can you say, "desperation"? Oh my.
I have also been known to practice baseball voodoo from time to time. However, I am not a major leaguer so if my readers think my noodle has slipped, no one really cares, least of all me. Normally, I reserve the voodoo J-Roll Smurf magic for the National League East. But with the Phillies recent struggles against everyone, and in light of Utley's acceptance of such practices, I made an exception before today's game. I think it may have helped:
The voodoo did seem to work. The Phillies scored again in the 9th inning after a Ruiz double and a Wilson Valdez single. Then they loaded the bases and scored two more runs on sac flies by Polanco and Howard. Then Raul Ibanez smelled the burning Jobu / Smurf incense, woke up and hit an RBI single with two outs. Ibanez did run into some bad luck after that, getting nicked in the foot with a hit ball. Apparently, the umpires did not see it, as nothing was called until the Yanks complained. So they called him out anyway to end the inning.
The defense got a spark earlier as well. Polanco helped Kendrick get out of a rough inning by diving on top of the rolled up tarp and catching a foul ball that was inches into the stands. And Jose Contreras snagged a bullet off the bat of Curtis Granderson in the 8th inning to save a hit. The Phils entered the bottom of the 9th inning with a 7-1 lead.
Contreras stayed in the game for one more batter; then with one out in the 9th, JC Romero was called in to end the game. Romero ended it quickly and the Phils won both the game and the series, 2 games to 1.
The Phillies will head home now for a weekend series with the Twins. They are without lefty Antonio Bastardo who is now on the DL with left elbow ulnar neuritis. Scott Mathieson was called up to take his spot on the roster. Mathieson looked like his career might be over after two Tommy John surgeries in 2006 and 2008 but his recovery has been remarkable. Look forward to seeing him pitch very soon!
Do not forget to keep VOTING for your Phillies All-Stars! Here are the team links for the Phillies Phollowers All-Star campaign:

I offer you Cigar and Rum for Jobu.
I had softball tonight and am still trying to catch up on scores. As conflicted as it sounds, I was glad Moyer could beat the Yanks.
Love the A-Rod pic. LOL. Polanco's play at the tarp was huge and Contreras was hilariously nonchalant with that stab behind his back – great play.
ROFL i read that about Chase Utley! The golden boy of the Phils😉. I also read how though he's slumping he's still not getting much heat from others compared to his teammates.
The voodoo reminds me of Major League for sure😀
hope the offense improves! This is not the Phillies that went to the WS last year and the year before that!
Don't forget about the nice play that Werth made as well… LOL.. You know that I always have to speak up for his playing. I think that the Phils coming back in the 9th to score some more runs is a good sign– a sign that they are Phighting till the end. A sign that they'll coming back to their old form.

Major cuts loom for district
WOODSFIELD – The Switzerland of Ohio Local School board voted to enter into Phase III expenditure reductions during its recent meeting.
The three phases that the school board has been implementing since July 26 of 2012 is to save money.
"The state said the district has to live within its budget," said Switzerland of Ohio Superintendent Larry Elliott. "(We) have to plan for the worst."
The district was not given any new money from the state.
Phase II and III will go into effect at the beginning of next school year if the upcoming levy does not pass in May. Phase I began at the beginning of the 2012 – 2013 school year with some cuts including the elimination of one maintenance position, a central office support position and the principal position at Beallsville Elementary.
Phase II, which was also approved at the July 26 regular board meeting will result in the elimination all elementary physical education teaching positions, music teaching positions, home economics/consumer science positions and elementary/ high school shop positions.
Phase III is the board planning for the worst if the levy is not passed and the district cannot generate new money.
Phase III will include the closing of the River High School bus garage and eliminate one bus mechanic position and eliminate six ESC teaching aide positions.
The district will reorganize, including the elimination of 23 certified positions. Also in this phase, all athletic programs must be able to financially support themselves.
Justin Isaly, the newest board member that took Rob Caldwell's position on the board, voted no to the passing of Phase III.
"(We) need to make bigger changes than what was proposed and I felt that with presenting these ideas to the public as to what we were going to do to help the board get this levy passed," said Isaly.
"I don't think the public thinks the board is serious because of past issues and things that have not been promised and done so I thought that we need to go to another level … and go deeper."
The next board meeting will be held on March 21 at 6 p.m.

The Karnes Countywide was invited to ride along and observe the set up and preparations at many of the Karnes County polling places on Friday, July 27.
Employees of the county clerk's office, election officials, and workers hired for the purpose of setting up all 15 of Karnes County's polling places met at the Karnes County Offices on the Square at 8 a.m. to go over plans for the day.
County Clerk Carol Swize explained that the plan for this setup involved working as two crews, with two rented Uhaul trucks.
The idea was for one truck to make deliveries to polling places located on the south end of the county and the other truck would deliver and set up equipment at polling places on the north end of Karnes County.
Most of the equipment needed for the elections had already been loaded into the two trucks by Friday morning, so after a briefing on the game plan for the day, the two crews were on their way to the polling locations including stops in Karnes City, Panna Maria, Gillett, Kenedy, Runge, Falls City, Cestohowa, Helena, Choate and Hobson.
The Karnes Countywide followed and observed the truck designated to make deliveries across the south part of Karnes County – a crew led by County Clerk Carol Swize.
The first stop for this truck was at the Choate Cafeteria in Choate. Choate is a small community located about six miles southeast of Kenedy on State Highway 239.
After parking the rented truck, workers began unloading a sizable collection of equipment which included a voting machine and ballot storage cabinet that weighs about 60 pounds and is roughly the size of a small refrigerator.
Other equipment delivered included a machine used for marking ballots which is available for voters with disabilities to use, if they choose to do so.
The ballot marking machine is about 30 pounds and fits in a case roughly the size of a large suitcase. A special table supports the ballot marking machine and is assembled by workers as part of the process of getting the polling place ready for Election Day.
After workers unloaded all the equipment from the truck and carried it inside the cafeteria, the process began of selecting specifically where to set up the equipment and any tables needed, and then the crew began setting up the machines and getting everything plugged into available electrical outlets.
Air conditioning was not available at this location on set up day, which made set up somewhat more difficult for workers under the hot and humid conditions on a late July south Texas day.
After about half an hour of work, the crew had the equipment and tables set up in a corner of the cafeteria.
Once unloading and set-up was complete, the next step was to test the polling place machines and equipment to make sure all would be in good working order for Election Day, July 31.
Test ballots for both the Democratic and Republican elections were marked using the marking machine, and ballots were run through the counting machine, as well.
On Election night, the voting data will be saved on a memory card and the memory cards delivered to the county clerk's office for combining with other data to produce the election return reports.
After finishing set up and testing in Choate, the "south" truck then proceeded to Runge where the same process was completed for the polling location at the Runge VFW Hall. After Runge, throughout the day, several polling locations in Kenedy and Karnes City were set up, tested and prepared for the upcoming election. At the same time, the other crew delivered, set up and tested equipment at polling locations in places all across the north end of Karnes County including Panna Maria, Gillett, Falls City, Cestohowa, Hobson and Cestohowa.
According to County Clerk Carol Swize, there are occasional problems with the voting equipment and machines, but testing helps head off any problems that might occur before Election Day, and if there is a problem, backup machines can be delivered to polling places wherever needed.
Election judges at each polling place perform many difficult and important tasks associated with the elections. The judges set up the machines for voting on Election Day and are responsible for many other tasks that go with each local election that happens.
It takes a team of many people to conduct a fair and true local election, Swize said, and elections are one of the responsibilities of the county clerk's office that the office's staff take very seriously and work hard to conduct as perfectly as possible.
The county clerk's office works closely with other government officials to get this job done, especially the office of the tax assessor-appraiser who is tasked with issuing voter registration cards, and maintaining and keeping up to date and in compliance with local laws, all the voter registration information for Karnes County.
There are many details that go with the process, Swize said, and she added that each one of these details are very important and each one plays an important role in seeing that local elections are done with the utmost care and attention, all of which is part of an effort to make sure that local elections and the election results are tabulated and reported as accurately and clearly as possible.

Report: Apple Preparing to Finally Catch up With PCs by Adding USB 3.0
Jason Mick
September 2, 2011 4:40 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
A publication claims that USB 3.0 could at last hit Macs.
The addition would allow Apple customers to ditch their $50 premium cables -- and, more importantly, gain access to many more peripherals.
(Source: iFixIt)
Move could alleviate Apple owners' woes of limited peripheral selection
These days USB 3.0, an extra-speedy connectivity technology is supported by an increasing number of peripherals like
external hard drives
thumb drives
. And it's become quite mainstream in the PC market, even showing up in mid-range models like the Micro-Star International Comp., Ltd.'s (
) $700
MSI FX603 notebook
But customers of Apple Inc. (
) -- the
third largest computer-maker
in the U.S. -- are willing to settle for paying as much $3,000 or more for some high end "fully loaded" notebooks or $5,000 on some desktops without a scrap of USB 3.0 support.
Ex-CEO Steve Jobs claimed customers
didn't care about USB 3.0
and it wasn't time for them to be allowed to get it, anyways. Apple instead offers customers Thunderbolt, an early copper-based implementation of Intel Corp.'s (
) upcoming fiber-optic "LightPeak" technology.
LightPeak offers 20 Gbit/s bidirectional data transmission versus up to 5 Gbit/s with USB 3.0. While that sounds like a favorable trade, one relatively minor downside to this arrangement is that Apple customers have to pony up
a whopping $50 USD per cable
, thanks to the slew of microchips inside the complicated design. Further, while an extra $50 on a $5000 computer may not seem that bad, the
lack of selection
in terms of ThunderBolt peripherals offers a far more pressing issue for Apple computer users.
Now with
a new CEO
at the head of Apple the rumor has popped up yet again that the company will finally catch up to PCs in hardware by offering its customers USB 3.0.
, "A lot of people have been disappointed over Apple's lack of interest in the USB 3.0 standard, but thanks to a little bird, VR-Zone has heard that the company is still looking at USB 3.0 as a potential feature to add on future products. As to when and how this might happen is not something we know, but from our understanding it'll happen
Intel integrates USB 3.0 support into its chipsets."
The important word in that comment is "before". Intel is supposed to drop in support for the USB 3.0 standard
in its
Ivy Bridge
CPU series
, which will launch in 2012. If
's source is correct Apple could be preparing to deliver USB 3.0 slightly ahead of schedule in late 2011.
If Apple does that it'd probably have to go with a third party chip to add compatibility to its stock Intel chipset. That wouldn't be the first time Apple has done this -- its a well known secret that back in 2010 it
hacked at the stock chipsets
to allow graphics switching (similar to Optimus) between the integrated GPU in the Intel CPU core and the dedicated onboard NVIDIA Corp. (
) GeForce GPU.
Hopefully the rumors are true, after all, from our perspective there's little excuse to be peddling a $5,000 computer that lacks USB 3.0 support found in $700 Windows PCs.
"I f***ing cannot play Halo 2 multiplayer. I cannot do it." -- Bungie Technical Lead Chris Butcher

"I'm glad you're here right now."
Standing in line at the Old Europe coffee shop in downtown Asheville, I said that to my old friend, Jerica. It was a rainy Sunday evening and we'd just gotten out of a documentary screening (about Tim Leary and Ram Dass) at the Grail Moviehouse. While I was mulling over the cosmic nature and theme of the film and what our place is in the universe (as per usual), I looked over at Jerica and smiled.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Kabuto flashback or 612
Kabuto's flashback still trumps over 612.
Kabuto's flashbacks was the pinnacle of boring.
I see what you're doing...
Anyway, I have to say Kabuto's flashback.
612 ovbiously.
fail thread
Flashback...was completely random. Anyhow at least we saw random jutsu despite not getting to see the K11 like I was hoping
612 & respect lord kabuto !
People need to understand that when it comes to action packed chapters it feels so quick and basic in the manga. The manga is good for story telling and epic moments not action as well.... its still.
When this comes to the anime, IT WILL BE EPIC! Probably add some epic music facial expressions extra shots etc...
Kabuto flashback because I felt it was unnecessary

May 6, 1999: Located about 130 million light-years away, NGC 4650A is one of only 100 known polar-ring galaxies. Their unusual disk-ring structure is not yet understood fully. One possibility is that polar rings are the remnants of colossal collisions between two galaxies sometime in the distant past, probably at least 1 billion years ago. What is left of one galaxy has become the rotating inner disk of old red stars in the center.
Meanwhile, another smaller galaxy, which ventured too close, was probably severely damaged or destroyed. During the collision the gas from the smaller galaxy would have been stripped off and captured by the larger galaxy, forming a new ring of dust, gas, and stars, which orbit around the inner galaxy almost at right angles to the old disk. This is the polar ring that we see almost edge-on in this Hubble telescope view.See the rest:

Loaded gun found in woman's private parts
Baggies of meth also found in Oklahoma woman's buttocks, police say
An Oklahoma woman is accused of hiding a loaded gun in her vagina and methamphetamine in her buttocks.
The weapon was discovered during a search of Christie Dawn Harris by a female officer with the Ada Police Department, according to a police report obtained by The Smoking Gun website.
The officer wrote she noticed the handle of a .22-caliber revolver sticking out from Harris' private parts.
Plastic baggies containing meth were also found lodged in the crack of her buttocks, according to the police report.
Harris, 28, and her friend Jennifer Delancy were arrested early Monday.
They were found sitting in a car parked outside a closed restaurant. One of the women had a warrant for her arrest, and a police dog detected drugs in the vehicle, according to the police report.
Harris faces felony weapon and drug charges.

Springfield, Ill. The Illinois State Board of Education
(ISBE) announced plans today to reduce bureaucracy and
streamline procedures for the states schools. At
todays State Board meeting, staff outlined plans
to reduce unnecessary rules, forms and paperwork for schools.
There are more than 2,800 pages of rules and regulations
currently in place.
Last month, the Governor put a new board and new
leadership in place with a call to stop the bureaucracy
and start helping schools, said State Board Chairman
Jesse Ruiz. Weve already started to do that.
The staff has hit the ground running, responding to the
Governors call to get rid of the red tape that the
states schools have faced for years. The Board is
anxious to make things better for schools, teachers and
students in Illinois.
Interim Superintendent Randy Dunn and State Board staff
members have already begun discussions with educators
around the state to get suggestions for improvement. In
addition, they and have set up an email address, firstname.lastname@example.com,
for educators and the public to make suggestions to reduce
the regulatory burden of existing ISBE rules.
Ive been talking with superintendents around
the state about how we can make it easier for them to
focus on teaching kids, said Dunn. Theyve
already shared great ideas with us and well keep
asking them for new ways we can help them spend more time
on education and less time on paperwork. And, then, with
the Boards support, well put those ideas into
In addition to educator and public input, the review
process will include feedback from advisory groups and
committees focused on specific areas like student transportation,
health and life safety and bilingual education. Where
needed, special work groups will be formed for particular
issues. State Board staff has already begun to look at
rules related to inactive programs, which represent 20
percent of existing rules.
The timeline calls for quick action, with results in
the next three months. Chief Counsel Jonathan Furr and
the State Boards Legal Division will oversee the
rules review process, which includes:
Last month, Governor Blagojevich signed the Education
Reform and Accountability Act of 2004, shifting the focus
of the Illinois State Board of Education from just regulating
school districts to improving education of students in
Illinois and being accountable to the Governor, legislators,
school districts, parents and children. The reform also
tasked the new board with reducing the 2,800 pages of
rules and regulations imposed on local school districts.

As you say, it is 'interesting'. No one shown as selected from the top two teams, Croydon Hurricanes and St Albans, who finished top and second in the league, only separated by goal difference. The lad who is shown as Hemel Hempstead played in the St Albans team as I beieve SA and HH ran a joint U16 team this season.
Interesting which clubs aren't represented: No St Albans, no South London and only one from Hemel.
Something of a shift in the balance of power towards Elmbridge and Medway.

Does the Spirit wisp attack of lesser spirit totem count as a secondary attack and all penalties associated with applied?
|Mort the Cleverly Named
|2 people marked this as FAQ candidate. 1 person marked this as a favorite.
Let's see:
Spirit Totem, Lesser (Su)
Benefit: While raging, the barbarian is surrounded by spirit wisps that harass her foes. These spirits make one slam attack each round against a living foe that is adjacent to the barbarian. This slam attack is made using the barbarian's full base attack bonus, plus the barbarian's Charisma modifier. The slam deals 1d4 points of negative energy damage, plus the barbarian's Charisma modifier.
Nothing suggest that these attacks would be secondary in any way, for any reason.
|Jak the Looney Alchemist
furthermore these little buggers can attack if you move like a mini pounce, and can attack even if you are in a situation that prevents you from attacking (held, etc)
Hmm... I had never thought of that. There must be a fun and effective way to use that. Maybe spirit totem mixed with panther style... Hmm... It looks like it attacks whether the barb does or not.
|Jak the Looney Alchemist
It is a much better rage power tree than it gets credit for.
Seriously. I never noticed that and always considered it to be the slightly gimped, but flavorful little sibling of the other trees, but I'll be damned that is pretty awesome.
I feel oddly tempted to scrap my next character idea and draw up a barb/rage prophet/bones oracle. Negative energy zaps while he casts how can you knock that.
A negative energy slam attack that does not count as one of your attacks and concealment bonus. I never understood why this tree never got love. I love to combined it with the first two levels of the fiend totem tree and the beast totem tree. With the adopted trait and tusked, go into the feat tree that gives bonuses to have three or more different types of natural attacks. You can make some very scary humans this way. It is rather feat heavy and extra rage power is suggested. I tend to go two levels of barbarian, then one level of fighter, then eight levels of barbarian, then the last nine in fighter.
Totem Warrior Barbarian can.
Totem Warrior
A barbarian often has a special totem that is the patron of her tribe.
While individual totems vary, those in the tribe that call upon a totem receive similar abilities. Totem warrior barbarians can select from the following rage powers.
Rage Powers: The totem warrior is based entirely upon his totem rage powers. In addition to the totem powers themselves, the following rage powers complement the totem warrior archetype (depending on the totem chosen): animal fury*, low-light vision*, night vision*, raging climber*, raging leaper*, raging swimmer*, and swift foot*.
where am I missing it? I've often wondered what the hell totem warrior did.
Totem rage powers grant powers related to a theme. A barbarian cannot select from more than one group of totem rage powers; for example, a barbarian who selects a beast totem rage power cannot later choose to gain any of the dragon totem rage powers (any rage power with "dragon totem" in its title), unless she has the totem warrior archetype.
AHA! it was squirreled away in the totem text at the beginning of the chapter the whole freakin time. Why didn't they put this text in the totem warrior description, sheesh. There goes a 2 year old mystery.
It was a horrible miss in the editing process that made totem warrior useless forever. Then a single sentence appeared two books later that answered everything, allowing barbarians to receive all of the attacks while raging.
That must be in a different printing of the book than the one I have because I just checked and that helpful bit isn't even there in mine. Also, they state that but what does a totem archetype barbarian give up. Normally the archetypes get something in exchange for something else but since there is no such detail listed in the book, does anyone know what the archetype trades for the ability to take multiple totems?
|The Ghost of Sasquatch
|Dave Justus
So would my wayang barbarian using his light and dark ability be able to attack himself with the spirit totem for healing?
Nope. It has to be a living foe adjacent to you.
Even if you are all emo and hate yourself, you still would have to manage to be adjacent to yourself, possible with the dimensional agility line I guess...but at this point there are easier ways to heal up.

Living the simple life; A house built for one
Q: Does it ever get filled up with stuff? How do you deal with storing things?
A: With my in and out lifestyle, because I work all the time, I do come home and just plop things down. So it can get crowded very quickly. But for a living I organize and design spaces, so it's in my nature to be able to easily put things away quickly. When I first moved there, I was like 'everything I own is going in there.' And I had collections of vases and a full dish set and it was very quickly that I got rid of everything and gotten myself to the minimal amount of things I need. I have two forks and two spoons and two of everything. I don't have much stuff; I minimalized.
Q: Did that feel freeing?
A: Oh yeah, definitely. I built a shed too, because I have tools and things I need as well. So I needed to build a separate building for those things, and ended up storing yearbooks and trophies and T-shirts and even my tassel from graduation, all those kinds of things I was saving. I got to the point where I could get rid of those things too. Because it's just a thing; I have that in my head, I'll always remember what that T-shirt looks like; I don't need that shirt sitting in a box. It's very freeing to be like I can just pack up and go any time I need to.
Q: How does it feel to not have any rooms?
A: That was the part that I was trying to figure out. Originally my bed was a loft, so I could hang out underneath and have my computer and guitar, and I could paint down there; it was like my mini studio. But, it was too cramped; it was like 'this is not comfortable.' I took the loft bed out last year, and have my bed on the floor and it's just interesting how the space can change with not having multiple rooms. Usually you have a room just for sewing, or just for sleeping or a kitchen, so it is interesting to be able to fit it all in one room and be comfortable with it. And it is just fine.
Q: Do you have any future plans for what you want to do with it?

Where for art thou, ya bum
Lovers of yore still aren't connecting for many of the same selfish reasons in 'Anton Chekhov's The Duel'
By Jana J. Monji 06/17/2010
In 1891, two cultured, educated and unmarried people unapologetically living together was a sin, but not in "Anton Chekhov's The Duel," opening Friday at Laemmle's Playhouse 7.
Even though this really is an adulterous affair, Chekhov, one of Russia's greatest short story writers, looks calmly and dispassionately at the situation as a matter not so much one of morality but basic humanity, with all the cravings for love, attention and freedom that condition demands.
Directed by Georgia-born Dover Koshashvili (director and writer of the acclaimed 2001 "Late Marriage"), this lushly realized movie based on Chekhov's eponymous novella is Koshashvili's third feature film.
As the story goes, beautiful Nadya (Fiona Glascott) has left her husband to live with Laevsky (Andrew Scott) in a charming small town on the Black Sea. Laevsky (Andrew Scott) is a penniless dreamer and has no taste for even faux married life. Unfortunately, Nadya has a need for beautiful things and the admiration of men. And that's too bad, because Laevsky doesn't have a job.
"I fell in love with a married woman and she with me," Laevsky confides in his friend, Samoylenko (Niall Buggy). He adds, however, that the past two years have been a big mistake. Laevsky is no longer in love and wants out of the relationship, but now he's trapped. After hearing him complain, Samoylenko blasts Laevsky, saying "Fate has sent you a young, beautiful, cultured woman, and you refuse the gift."
Indeed, Laevsky revels in the delights of the unkempt life. He lounges and drinks and gambles too much. And his neighbor, Von Koren (Tobias Menzies), a zoologist who ponders the evolution of species, considers Laevsky to be as "dangerous to society as the cholera microbe."
These vain and selfish lovers certainly deserve one another, yet neither is really evil. They merely both fail to appreciate life, love and the simple beauties of everyday life.
While the ending suggests what is more clearly spelled out in the novella, this adaptation remains true to the spirit of Chekhov's work, with screenwriter/producer Mary Bing refraining from over-explaining.
Paul Sarossy's photography allows us to appreciate just how much loveliness there is in this life where Laevsky and Nadya locked themselves into misery, wanting what they do not have and bored with what they do possess.
"Anton Chekhov's The Duel" opens Friday at Laemmle Playhouse 7, 673 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena. Call (626) 844-6500.

A Ghost Ship With Cannibal Rats? A Story Too Grim To Be True
By editor • Jan 25, 2014
Originally published on January 25, 2014 12:14 pm
Newspapers from the U.K. to the U.S. were reporting a sensational story this week about an abandoned cruise ship drifting across the Atlantic with a crew of cannibal rats aboard. It sounded too outrageous to be true, so we dug into the story and smelled, well, a rat.

I liike the DJ Augustin scenario and I like the idea of buying up 2nd rounders to free up the cap holds. I am concerned though that we dump Curry before the value of his contact peaks close to the trade deadline. I think a package of Curry andChandler near the deadline will net you the best results and provide the best chance at getting a quality player in return.
I would buy up the 2nd rounders to free up space for Rudy Fernandez, sign a max, and wait till the deadline and go after a shot blocker and PG like DJ.

According to Marketplace, the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership enables the government to invest in new technologies that are "too expensive and too risky" for one single company to develop.
US President Barack Obama sees this initiative as an investment to win the future, the White House reports. "Investments will be made in the following key areas: building domestic manufacturing capabilities in critical national security industries; reducing the time needed to make advanced materials used in manufacturing products; establishing US leadership in next-generation robotics; increasing the energy efficiency of manufacturing processes; and developing new technologies that will dramatically reduce the time required to design, build, and test manufactured goods. Leading universities and companies will compliment these federal efforts helping to invent, deploy, and scale these cutting-edge technologies."
APICS gets involved Working closely with President Obama to prepare skilled workers for manufacturing jobs is the Manufacturing Institute, the affiliated nonprofit organization of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM).
The institute recently completed a study that showed more than 80 percent of manufacturers are experiencing a moderate or serious talent shortage in skilled production positions such as machinists and technicians, and 60 percent have a similar shortage in production engineers.
To combat this talent supply problem, the Manufacturing Institute identified several leading industry credentials to serve as pathways, built to industry standards, into entry-level positions in manufacturing. The institute then worked with high schools, community colleges, and four-year universities to make these credentials a part of the basic curriculum.
On Monday, during the 2011 APICS International Conference & Expo, a representative from NAM will announce that the APICS Certified in Production and Inventory Management and Certified Supply Chain Professional designations have officially been endorsed by NAM as pathways in the field of transportation, distribution, and logistics.
This is monumental news for APICS and its certifications, and we're excited to forge ahead in this new partnership with NAM and the Manufacturing Institute. More information on what this endorsement means for you will be available next week.

- Title
- Natural substances as treatments for age-related cognitive declines
- Author(s)
- Wesnes, Keith A.
- Abstract
- Cognitive function has long been known to decline with normal ageing, and recent findings indicate that this decline starts in early adulthood. While these declines are recognised, there is currently no regulatory acceptance to encourage the pharmaceutical industry to develop medicines to treat these normal age-related deteriorations; and the industry is therefore currently focused on Alzheimer's and other dementias, as well as prodromes for Alzheimer's disease including Mild Cognitive Impairment. Recent surveys have shown that students, various professional groups, and the military are using 'smart drugs' like modafinil off-label to promote cognitive function, and such use is producing much controversy, due in part to the possible safety risks associated with such use. However, a growing body of data is accumulating showing that naturally occurring substances can enhance cognitive function, even in young volunteers. This provides an alternative strategy for individuals who wish to optimise their mental performance and to attempt to correct age-related declines, i.e. by consuming naturally occurring substances which are more widely available. Accepting that naturally occurring substances can have the same range of health risks as prescription medicines, this paper considers research findings that could provide a rationale for self-medication of cognitive function with natural substances.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
DescriptionThis native perennial shrub produces little-branched canes up to 6' long during the first year. These canes are initially erect, but they eventually arch sideways and downward – their tips sometimes reach the ground. First-year canes are vegetative and do not produce flowers and fruit. They are initially green, hairless, and glaucous, but later turn brown and woody during the winter. Scattered along the length of each cane are prickles that are short and curved. During the second year, these canes develop short branches that terminate in erect cymes or short racemes of flowers. Along the length of these canes, there are alternate compound leaves. These compound leaves are usually trifoliate; rarely are they palmate with 5 leaflets. The leaflets are up to 3" long and 2" across. They are cordate-ovate or ovate in shape and doubly serrate along the margins; some leaflets may be shallowly cleft. The upper surface of each leaflet has strong pinnate venation, while its lower surface is white tomentose (covered with white hairs that are very short and appressed). The terminate leaflet has a short slender petiole, while the lateral leaflets are sessile, or nearly so. The flowers are bunched tightly together on the cymes/racemes. Each flower is about ½" across, consisting of 5 white petals, 5 green sepals, and numerous stamens that surround the multiple green carpels and their styles. The petals are elliptic or oblong, while the sepals are triangular-shaped and spreading; the petals are about the same length as the sepals. The blooming period occurs during the late spring or very early summer and lasts about 2-3 weeks. Each flower is replaced by a compound drupe that is ovoid and about 1/3" long when fully mature. This compound drupe is initially white, later becomes red, and finally turns black-purple when it is mature. Each drupe consists of multiple drupelets, each drupelet containing a single seed. The fleshy drupes are sweet and slightly tart in flavor; they detach cleanly and easily from their receptacles. The root system consists of a woody branching taproot. Vegetative offsets are often produced by the canes rooting at their tips. Cultivation

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), sometimes called Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive disease that attacks the nerve cells that control voluntary movement. The National ALS Registry is a congressionally mandated registry for persons in the U.S. with ALS. It is the only population-based registry in the U.S. that collects information to help scientists learn more about who gets ALS and its causes. No one knows for sure what causes ALS and currently there is no cure. If you have the disease, consider joining the Registry and completing the brief risk-factor surveys because your answers could help scientists defeat ALS.

Mistress Carrie's interview with Matt Cameron from Soundgarden and Pearl Jam
Sep 27, 2012|
It's a busy day for the Soundgarden guys. Today, we get a taste of what the first new album in 15 years is going to sound like with the release of "Been Away Too Long". It's a fitting song title, considering how long it's really been! They said it would never happen... and yet, they have reunited, recorded an new studio album, been part of the soundtrack of one of the biggest movies in history (The Avengers), and are planning a world tour! How did the reunion happen? What does the rest of King Animal sound like? Will there be a co-headlining tour, with a Temple of the Dog reunion? Who is Matt's favorite Avenger? How he feels about turning 50? What kind of digs he has? I asked him everything!
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
-- scary weekdays three to seven on Boston -- station WA AF. A visit Matt that's Carey -- yeah and it carried you introduce yourself I know who you are fair that. It's me it's a big day today congratulations. Thank you thank you -- day that I believe all of the members of sound garden at one point or another said. That's never gonna happen -- Well yeah you or is it it was a long time coming. You'll Ayers we had to keep it going get it started the beginning for me and tell me the anatomy of a reunion with the band that hasn't released an album in fifteen years who calls who. How do you get back to the negotiating table. Yeah well. It started very slowly. We we decided to. You know try to update our. Online president you know we want to start fan club and all this type of thing adjusted you know you know we think about -- -- catalogs so. It was just all this kind of legacy step Richmond deal with. Were you surprised that there was. So much passion behind the band even though you guys had broken up they're not released music and so long. Well I -- I felt like you know we always put a lot of passion into it and I think that the music -- you know has has. At a certain. You know quality that I think people like just because it's it's it's it's a real true expression of how. We are musicians and you know that -- the types of songs that that we wrote. And continue to write. So -- you know I I think once. What we did we get a little show its Seattle like an April 2010. You know after. After we play that -- just felt really give it and it felt like you know we still had. We still have that energy we that. That you know. Type of passion that that is required to play the type music that that we do. And then you know we got up we know we got a whole bunch of offers to play gigs after that show and and we took some of them. And then you know Chris and I certainly had pretty pretty busy careers outside its -- gardens. You're is another band that people might have heard of Pearl Jam in. In nine and he was with audio slave and doing his solo stuff he that's kind of scattered to the wind for awhile. That's right yeah we did. But you know it felt really good. Just to be interim together and that's sort of the they'll litmus test for you know being in a band you have to yet to be able to be you know have that camaraderie and that and that chemistry. You know for to be gated in and and luckily like when we did get. Get back together to you know read this new album. It it came pretty quickly you know once. What we had a couple songs written. And we heard you know Chris is vocal on the on the music that we -- you know it would the floodgates just fully open -- this is like you know it was on. I know that I'm not the only person who was asked this question I passed it to Chris awhile back when live to rise came out around the avengers release. Yeah and I said. Why not -- with Pearl Jam do -- the dogs saying sound -- back together you'll be awesome. And it always comes back to you because everybody feel bad for you and how exhausted you would be. Having played a whole damn night. Yes can you say after -- played like you know I don't know two hours with sound garden. You know my -- done -- what's -- eight. That agreement we. Yeah. You know like a replica. We did what when we did depleted when he show documents that we and we put it in simple about stuff that was awesome. You know it may be I don't know them maybe there might be a one off we're back it happened. You know I'm not point five anymore. Secretary. Yeah SP -- you're gonna be fifteen next month are you in November right. Certainly am I'm -- -- fifty. Euro I have I have a milestone birthday coming up in a few days myself then and it's bothering me yeah those big numbers are numbered remember that out of them I'm trying I'm trying -- are there Rhett yeah it's X. I'd be all. I know better. I area isn't funny -- it's a look back and to see you know like young kids who have just grown up. Looking ahead. The bands that you've been a part of the way that you kind of grew up idolizing. And they have like Led Zeppelin and I mean it's got to be kind of weird trio. We know that I -- always try to keep an open mind and if you know if -- if a kid comes up to me and they wanna talk about you know drum mr. You know music -- something and then I'm I'm more than happy you know. To share my insights there just to -- hired something because I think when I was growing up you know I've I -- to go see you know queen and David polian Cheap Trick can kiss and all of these completely larger than life that these bands you know. That I I don't think you could talk to you some like it was forbidden -- no enemy. But -- but I think the generation that I'm a part of you know we we we idolize spans like you know black flag in. -- thread bottles surfers and bands that two words in you know smaller smaller venues and you -- have a conversation with them and. -- that social media gives you access to where you can just be on your couch at home. And people can deal. That's right that's right and that's and that's the critical thing and as an artist to be able to. You know gauge what. You know what -- answer you know things online -- you know you're in -- you know wanted to Q4 and that world convicted can get a little. It can't get a little weird rebel patrols out there. But but you know but -- but it's it's really nice to be able to have that that direct link to your -- We haven't heard the whole album yet. And I know that. A lot of people don't give drummers a lot of credit for actually being songwriters for some reason you know it's like the old Spinal Tap -- Q now when I know that interview a lot of writing in collaborating. Not Hollywood sound -- met Pearl Jam as well so. Because we haven't heard the whole album yet and won't until it gets released in November. What are some of the tracks that you love. It maybe you were part of -- new album that we should you know definitely be paying attention to when it comes out. Yeah well our. Actually. -- ropes peace songs on the new record. And one with the collaboration. Called crickets steps that it's one of my favorites. It has all the elements that I guess we're known for its got you know it's not in fourth or and it's. Got a really awesome vocal part. The drumming kind of all over the place to -- constant. -- and at another song called. Business critical black Saturday that I've ever I'm really proud of I'm you know I'm I'm really I really feel good about the album as a whole and I think it will. I think -- I think it'll it'll be a nice addition to our. Our catalog in our legacy because I think we -- band that was that was able to make you know complete statements you know we weren't we weren't and we were never singles stand. But luckily you know. There was sort of a couple songs from our last. Three studio albums that you know. -- I guess worked as radio singles that we never go into into making a record thinking in those terms so. You know I I think what people hear it -- entire record it'll it'll totally makes sense and and and you know we're. It makes sense to us so that again that's where we're putting it out there. Did you feel pressure in the studio to have to live up to the success of the bans passed. I think we really want to. Get back with our. Our friends you know like Adam Kasper and we worked in the studio here in Seattle that we that we made. Super unknown in part -- down the upside that's so. It was it was our idea to. You know just get back here -- environment where all the ideas and all the creativity would have to. You know mostly come from as the band and I think you know we had a lot of really good it's going into that process so we felt like that we felt really confident that we did you know pulled off justice. You know we've. That's just in our DNA and that's that's how we always that's -- we -- we always worked as a group. But we never really felt any pressure because you know we didn't have a record label and we didn't we didn't you know we -- have any like. Pressure is that we are used to have as a group you know like you guys are in the drivers seat at this point yeah I mean you know we are strictly doing this for ourselves and our man. Though. As long as we felt good about it as a group then. We felt good enough to that are fans here. So but you know I I think there is sort of pressure. Win groups you re united and they you know besides. To make any record you know you certainly don't want to mess that your legacy -- that if that's the good ones like Garza's. Two more quick questions of soil and it got to let it go who is your favorite avenger oh goodness you've got to have a you know an arm of -- all the way. And I got I know what kind of dogs you have since they interrupted the interview room and what their names are. -- to Google labs that are sleeping right now and I've got this little troublemaker named Tommy -- he's like it's well -- Jack Russell. -- Guys getting into having little dogs. Well I've got I've I've always been a big -- guy. But my kids wanted to get this get this rescue Doug Hughes he on death row so we had to -- save them. But I'm -- big duck -- I do like this that is the first little but I have -- he's he's pretty some. Do you put clothes on it does he have a little sound -- -- Out here you gotta you gotta hang with the big boys here. Well I really appreciate you taking time out of what must be an extremely busy day today with. They're release have been away it's lying and you know just ramping up for the new album when are you going on the road. Let's see a.
