Never heard of Invisible Illness Awareness Week? You're not alone. Jody Smith sheds a little light to make it more visible …
From time immemorial, people have been pushed aside and ignored for one reason or another. Nobody likes feeling invisible. That goes for the kid in the playground who doesn't get chosen for baseball, for the person overlooked by the boss, whose name is left off the group photo.
It's also true for people who are sick, but don't look like there's anything wrong with them.
Lisa Copen founded Rest Ministries in 1996 after being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. She went on to establish Invisible Illness Awareness Week in 2002.… Read More

Happiness Abounds
In my last entry, I was a bit pessimistic about the Phillies' chances against the Mets. In the wake of their being swept by the Braves, I was happy that they'd at least won the first game to avoid being swept again. In retrospect, what was I worried about? This time, the cleat was on the other feet, and the Mets were the ones being swept!!
It does my heart good to see the Mets looking as frustrated as this:
Tom Mihalek/AP
The Mutts, oops, Mets were only able to muster a grand total of 3 runs over the 3-game sweep, as the Phillies won by scores of 7-2, 4-1, and 2-0.
Last night, the Phils opened a 4-game series against the Reds by absolutely erupting
for 22 runs, 10 of which came in the first inning! I almost felt a teeny bit bad for Johnny Cueto, who gave up 9 of those runs in a mere 2/3 of an inning. Amazingly, 8 of the 10 runs came after there were two outs and no one on base!
Cole Hamels gave up a solo homer to Jonny Gomes, but that was it for the Reds. Things got so bad for them, they brought infielder Paul Janish in to pitch the bottom of the eighth, his second such appearance this year. Apparently the first outing was less than stellar, as he gave up 5 runs. This time would be no different, as Janish coughed up six runs, including a Jayson Werth grand slam. Poor Janish now has an ERA of 49.50 to show for his efforts.
Now for tonight. More often than not, it seems that after the Phillies have an outburst like this, the next night they are asleep at the wheel. I hope that this time they can continue with the offensive heroics, and keep their winning streak going.
Minor Matters
On Sunday, we took the kids to the Reading Phillies for Kids Club Game #2, where they were happy to receive their Crazy Hot Dog Vendor pillowcases.
There was also a pre-game Mascot Meet and Greet – the R-Phils have no less than 5 mascots! I can understand mascots with names like Blooper, Change-Up, and Screwball (a dog, turtle, and mutant Mr. Red/Met combo, respectively), but I'm not so sure about Quack (duck) and Bucky (beaver). I think it's just so they have enough to complete the Mascot Band, which performs live before Saturday games.
Yohan Flande was on the mound for the R-Phils, making his second start at AA since being called up from Clearwater.
The Connecticut Defenders (S.F. Giants affiliate) countered with prospect Tim Alderson.
The Defenders would come out on top, winning by a score of 12-5. They ran rampant on Flande and catcher Tuffy Gosewisch, stealing six bases altogether, including two double-steals in the second inning, resulting in two runs scored. Here is one of those runs:
Though it looks like the baserunner should be out, the ball was knocked loose on the play.
One more favorite shot from the game – in this one, Connecticut shortstop Sharlon Schoop's bubble bursts, both literally and figuratively, as he is unable to make a play on a hard ground ball that had caused him to stumble while fielding it.
More Things That Make You Go "Hmmm"
On the way home from Reading, we passed a restaurant that was advertising a "Bridal Tasting" later this month. One assumes/hopes that this is a chance for brides and grooms to sample menu options available for rehearsal dinners or receptions. Otherwise, the choice of wording leads to some unusual mental images.

It sounds like you and your family had a great time! And yes, when our teams have these games where they score tons of runs, it always seems like in the next game we are left to ask – "Could we have saved a few of those runs!" lol! Good luck tonight!
I also went to a minor league game recently. I saw the Lowell Spineners and Staten Island Yankees (single A Red Sox and Yankees) play in Lowell. It is always a great time going to Minor League games because there is so much fun put into the game and the side shows. Check out my blog for pictures from the game.
I saw the highlights of that Phillies game against the Reds. The final score looked painful, but hopefully the Phillies can keep it up tonight!!
In addition to Crazy Hot Dog vendor pillowcase night (that's one of the strangest giveaways ever) was it also crazy name night? Those are some unique names.
Jordan played on the Volcanoes last year in Little League by the way. Really ugly unis!
Julia – So true! I hope they don't struggle to even get hits tonight, let alone score runs. Too bad there's no way to "save" a few.
Dillon – Minor league games ARE fun, aren't they? I'll be sure to check out your photos.
Emily – Not painful to us Phans! Ok, maybe to the Reds' fans it was painful.
Ken – If you think the pillowcase is odd, I really wanted to go to last Tuesday's game, when they gave out R-Phils spatulas on the Tribute to Spam night, with accompanying Spam-carving contest. But unfortunately my husband got stuck in a traffic jam, and did not get home from work in time for us to go.😦
Congrats on that blowout. Wow, what a score for the Phillies. I know how much I love lopsided games when my team is on the winning end, so I'm guessing you feel the same way. And those pillowcases are a riot! Great giveaway. As for the "Bridal Tasting," that's perfect material for Jay Leno and the segment where he reads funny headlines.
Hi, Sue,
Good post. =)
The game is 3-0 just now. The phils just left bases loaded. Sigh, well…that happens, right? We just want the winning streak to continue.
And if the marlins and mutts lose a bit…good. =)
How 'Bout Those Phils? MLBlogs.com
I also had the opportunity to see a minor league game. It was so much fun.
Your Phillies are still #1.
Yeah for Shane!! Did ya see the walk-off hit tonight? SO happy :O)

Matthew wants to be a WSU Cougar
Matthew is a huge Washington State University fan and would love to play football for them someday.
Matthew, 15, lives on the west side and likes it there, but he is drawn to the palouse.
"I am a cougar fan," he said.
Matthew isn't one of those bandwagon fans.
"Even if they have a losing record and stuff, I'll play for them," said Matthew.
Coach Mike Leach might want to keep an eye on him because Matthew is very athletic.
"I like sports like football, basketball, baseball, stuff like that," he said.
Matthew isn't just a jock, he likes music, too.
"I play guitar and drums every now and then. It's fun, it keeps me out of trouble," he said.
When Matthew grows up, he wants to do something with his life that helps other people.
"I'd like to be a firefighter or a cop," he said.
He wants to inspire other people, just like he was inspired.
"My next door neighbor was a sheriff. It was really inspiring because he was really, really nice," he said.
However, Matthew needs a stable family to help him reach his goals.
"I want a loving, caring family and, like, parents who are going to be there for me. Parents who know that I like music and stuff like that and can help me with that," he said.
He knows that he has missed a lot by growing up in foster care. Although he is being cared for, it isn't the same as having his own family.
"I'm missing people to say 'I love you' to and actually being there and talk to if I need help," Matthew said.
He has a lot to offer to a family.
"I would bring more talent to a family. Like humor and stuff like that," he said.
He knows there is a family out there for him, and he has a message for them.
"You'll really like me once you get to know me, and adopt me," said Matthew.

Memorial Day.
Designated as a day to remember those who gave their lives defending our nation, Memorial Day is increasingly becoming a time to salute those currently serving in the U.S. military, as well. Our heroes! We must never forget them! Let's make time to fly our stars and stripes, attend a Memorial Day Parade, visit a Vet, thank a soldier, attend a Memorial Day ceremony, have a Memorial Day movie night to watch related movies, visit military families, donate money to veteran organizations, visit veterans' graves, or observe the National Moment of Remembrance held at 3:00 PM local time (on Memorial Day) to pause from whatever we're doing to be silent, reflect, or offer prayers on behalf of America's defenders.
Thanks to the selfless sacrifices through the ages made by our indomitable, fierce, do-or-die United States military we are free to enjoy…
Memorial Day 2010.
A few Memorial Day happenings in Washington DC:
Arlington Cemetery
WHAT: National Memorial Day Observance at Arlington National Cemetery
When : Monday, May 31, 2010

They're in town to bring attention to veterans and POW/MIAs of the Vietnam War, riding from the Pentagon across the Memorial Bridge, to the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial on Sunday.
National Memorial Day Concert:
Live on PBS from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol in High Definition!
Sunday, May 30, from 8:00 to 9:30 pm ET (check local listings).
The 2010 National Memorial Day Concert will focus on three main themes: honoring the sacrifices, suffering and love of a new generation of young military widows whose fallen spouses served in Iraq and Afghanistan; paying tribute on the 60th anniversary of the Korean War to the heroic service of the soldiers who fought and perished; paying homage to the more than 125,000 WWI and WWII service members who did not come home but rest in 24 military cemeteries in the foreign lands where they fought for liberty.
For more than 20 years this top-rated annual program has honored the service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform, their families at home and all those who have given their lives for our country. The show is broadcast live in High Definition from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol before an expected live audience of hundreds of thousands, to millions more at home and, via American Forces Network to the nearly one million American service men and women, Department of Defense civilians and their families overseas, stationed at bases in 175 countries as well as 140 U.S. Navy ships at sea.

New to the forum...Fourth child is now 6 wks old, first to be ebf. She's had a thrush infection going on 4 weeks now which is being treated by nystatin drops (i'm also using nystatin cream on breasts to avoid cross infection).
My worry is that she hasn't had "formed stools" ever since being infected. I know ebf baby stool can be loose, but hers are VERY LOOSE, sometimes frothy with little seeds. Is this normal? I'm not sure if whether this is diarrhea or not.
Pediatrician claims this is normal, second opinion claims it's overfeeding. I feed on demand until she pulls off.
Not sure if a result of yeast in the intestinal tract or overproduction of milk. She feeds on one breast per feeding w/out emptying breast.
She was 7 lb 6 oz at birth and currently weighs 11 lb 2 oz. She is wetting 5 to 6 wet diapers daily.

I wonder though is playing championship RL "getting to the top"???
How would a championship club manage to develop an extensive junior system? Have Skolars managed this for instance??
How many fans actually grasp the chance to watch a championship team in the north where's there's a deep culture of RL? How many london fans grasp the chance to watch Skolars now?
Don't get me wrong, I'd love for championship clubs to be created across britain and in turn for them to stimulate lots of local Rugby kids to play RL rather than union, and the best can then pack suitcases and go to sign for someone along the M62. Then we'd have the whole of Britain producing quality RL players and us lot along the M62 can have the privelige of being able to go watch them all.
McDermotts thoughts seem to be that the withdrawal of Superleague from London will bust up a junior system that is probably as good as many northern clubs have. No doubt HRU, Wasps saracens etc will help bust it up......???
Thoughts from any of you London people?
I seem to be in a minority with those I have discussed this with at Quins but I am not so sure
that playing outside of Super League and in the Championship would be a total disaster. Its certainly
not my preferred option but I would say they would keep the majority of the 2,000 or so hard core fans,
but only if they played in the London area. Fortunately as the junior game is pretty much embedded around
different areas of London I would say it will keep growing. Add to that the fact that a good few junior clubs
are catching the youngsters at a very early age as minis hopefully they will turn out to be "league" only players
as oposed to playing union in the off season, which was invariably the case a few years ago when I was involved.
Also I am not convinced that a lot of the prospective players of the future in London are necessarily aspiring to play for Quins as opposed to representing some of the bigger clubs around the m62. And until Quins become
a tad more glamorous and start threatening to win a few games over a season on a regular basis I am not sure things there attitudes will change.

Donna Morrow arrived at the Curry County Animal Hospital for her dog's shots — instead she delivered a baby.
A surgical nurse at Plains Regional Medical Center, Morrow was waiting for her Chihuahua to be seen Tuesday when she heard a woman scream. Morrow followed the sounds to a small bathroom where a young woman was complaining of abdominal pain.
"I asked someone to call an ambulance," Morrow said, "and then I started asking her about her medical history."
Moments later, Morrow discovered the woman was pregnant and the birth was imminent.
"I wasn't expecting to see a baby," Morrow said.
Assisted by veterinarian Glenn Keim and a 911 operator, the 38-year-old nurse successfully delivered the infant boy, using the clamps veterinarians use for animal births to tie off the umbilical cord, surgical gloves and a sterile towel to keep the baby warm.
"Thank heavens I was somewhere where they had the supplies," Morrow said.
Keim said his role during the birth was minimal.
"I didn't really do that much," Keim said, "I just kept telling her everything was going to be okay."
Keim called the unusual birth a difficult situation.
"She and her brother came in with a dog," he said, "and left with a baby."
Morrow said although the birthing process lasted only 10 minutes, the experience left her feeling shaky.
"It was wonderful when I heard the baby cry though," she said. "I just couldn't believe it."
The infant was airlifted to a Lubbock hospital due to its small size, Morrow said.

The problem I have with new Lazarus is when I 1st saw them I described them to people as Kill Em All era Metallica meets The Legacy era Testament. So yeah I was expecting a Ride The Lightning/The New Order progression and instead I got Souls of Black/Load. Not good.
6/2 - Hatebreed & Devildriver
6/11 - Thrill Kill Kult
8/3 - Deftones
8/14 - Bush & Chevelle
That Drummer Guy's Reviews, Interviews, Playlists, Radio Shows, & Social Media:
It's Monday, so it's time for part 4. The forthiest part so far.
1.) While Heaven Wept- Fear Of Infinity
While looking at the band title, many at first glance will picture this band as Christian Emo band. That is not the case. While Heaven Wept does something that was nearly thought impossible, be a Power Doom Metal band. As much fast double bass Power Metal is shown, so is Doom Metal (with Clean vocals). This band really took me surprise when I found about them. The music keeps your interest and never lets go. This is one of the bands I really hopes breaks through this year, they deserve it.
2.) Ocoai- The Electric Hand
It's been a while since I heard a Post Metal band really capture my interest through a whole album. Ocoai managed to accomplish that with The Electric Hand. There is elements of Pelican, Isis, Mastodon, Torche all over but making it all fit in their own unique way. It's not the stereotypical Droney Post Metal, there is much more substance and dynamics. If you are looking to get into Post Metal, this is a great starter album, it will capture you're interest from start to finish.
3.) Foo Fighters- Wasting Light
I've been an on again off again Foo Fighters fan for years. For me, They haven't released an album that had more then 4 good songs since The Colour And The Shape. They FINALLY made an album that accomplish that with Wasting Light. From the Rush style of Rope, to the Moterhead style of White Limo. All the wile still keeping a fresh, catchy Rock vibe. I'm glad to see the Foo Fighters are still capable of doing that in more then just a EP's worth of good songs.
4.) Onslaught- Sounds Of Violence
Another great Thrash band on the list. Their 5th album, Sounds Of Violence is another great spin on bringing classic Thrash with a 2011 filter. It brings references of Slayer, Warbringer and Death Angel all over in their own brand. It's great to see Thrash bands who were dead come back to life to bring such great music to the table. Onslaught more then followed through on this album.
5.) Beardfish- Mammoth
Beardfish is one of the greatest underrated/under-appreciated Progressive Rock bands going right now. Their blend of 60's/70's Progressive Rock with a bit of a modern tinge is exactly what Prog Rock needs right now. Mammoth definitely delivers that and then some. The album varies all over with hints of Zappa, Rush, Yes, while mixed a bit with modern prog like Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree and a tad bit of Opeth. This definitely has my vote for the best Progressive Rock album of 2011. It covers everything a genuine Prog fan wants.
6.) Liturgy- Asthethica
This is a very strange Black Metal band. It's almost as if they take a Noise Rock/Alternative Metal project, added some Prog to it, then layered Black Metal vocals and Blast beats over it. Another comparison is if Krallice and Nachtmystium and Hella started a project. It's a bit jarring a first to listen to. a real "WHAT THE FUCK" kinda band. I oddly like it because it is so strange and different, after a couple listens things start to make more sense. This own't end up in my top 20, or even lower, but it is a good excuse to trying something completely different.
7.) Boris- Heavy Rocks
The fourth and Final Boris album on this list (at least until I hear they are writing and releasing more music this year). Heavy Rocks brings back the sound that made me get into Boris, Psychedelic Punk, Stoner, Metal. While not as heavy as their original albums, Heavy Rocks still stands as an absolutely badass album. For a great Brutal album (clean vocals by the way) with a 60's rock tinge. Pick up Heavy Rocks.
8.) TesseracT- One
I believe this is the only Djent band on my list. For those who don't follow Djent, the way I describe it is "Meshuggah with Melody." Tesseract is a phenomenal band that takes Djent and gives is a better Progressive Metal flavor to it. Much more clean vocals then other bands and bit more ambient and electronic at times. A very outerspace feel through out. One is one of the finest debut albums I have heard from any band. For those looking for a new band of a "trend" that is actually starting their own trend out of it, check out TesseracT's One.
9.) Deicide- To Hell With God
Classic Death Metal, Deicide always keeps their Death Metal/"I Hate Christianity" aspect on every album. Obviously, To Hell With God, is no different. Straight pull no punches Death Metal with some great solos and songwriting over Glen Benton's Patoned voice. Not the best Death Metal album this year, that still goes to Autopsy until something else comes out this year, but To Hell With God easily takes 2nd place.
10.) A Storm Of Light- As The Valley Of Death Becomes Us, Our Silver Memories Fade
A very great Isis/Mastodon-esque Post Metal band, A Storm Of Light brings a very heavy, grungey spin on Post Metal. While the album is pretty much straight forward Post Metal, it's dynamics, changes, and overall songwriting keeps you interested not wanting to change to the next track. Overall, just a really damn good, heavy Post Metal album.
11.) Hate Eternal- Phoenix Among The Ashes
I never liked a full Hate Eternal album until now. Pure Brutal Death Metal the way it is meant to be played. Every song is just as brutal as the next. When you are pissed off, it's a great album to unleash your aggression. Now a days in 2011, that is becoming more and more. Check this out!
12.) Scale The Summit- The Collective
The perfect Instrumental Progressive Metal album. So much talented songwriting, amazing Melodies and Harmonies, overall perfection in my eyes. It is a march darker album then their two previous albums, but it adds a whole new element that I know they have been dying to show off. To me that is what makes a band better is by showcasing all of your skill and creativity. Scale The Summit pulled it off Flawlessly with The Collective. BUY IT NOW!
13.) VYGR- Hypersleep
Pronounced (Voyager), VYGR is another great spacey Post Metal band. As if someone combined Isis and Cynic. Their album is an outstanding example of what happens when you really put your time into an album. It is so atmospheric and heavy. Its the perfect music to listen to when you are looking up into space at night. Like bands like Alcest, it sends you into a whole new world. If this is what happens on a debut album, expect HUGE things on their next release. Absolutely stellar!
14.) Last Chance To Reason- Level 2
Video Game Metal. Not like Power Glove. It's original Technical, Progressive Death Metal. As if Cynic wrote a soundtrack to Halo. Their previous work I had a bit of a hard time getting into because of all the Deathcore elements, but Level 2 to is much more Proggy and focused. These guys are going to be a force to be reckon with, they will prove this on the upcoming Animals As Leaders tour.
15.) Polkadot Cadaver- Sex Offender
Polkadot Cadaver came from the Ashes of one of the best Avant Garde Metal bands of the 90's/2000's, Dog Fashion Disco. Their second release, Sex Offender, carries off where the debut left off. Very electronic, but even more Dog Fashion Disco sounding then before. Every song is simply catchy, whether it is heavy, or electronica sounding. I one day hope Dog Fashion Disco can get back together and tour once again, until that day, I hope Polkadot cadaver can actually tour.
16.) Enslaved- The Sleeping Gods
This FREE EP has everything an Enslaved fan could want. 2 classic Enslaved songs, an eerie atmospheric instrumental, A classic Prog sounding song, and a doomy heavy closer. Tied with Between The Buried And Me's newest EP, this is EP of the year for me. And I couldn't be happier they are taking Alcest and Ghost with them on their upcoming North American Tour. I can't miss it.
17.) Times Of Grace- Hymn Of The Broken Man
The best Killswitch Engage album never made. It is really Killswitch Engage with a bit of Post Rock added. 3/5 of the original KSE are in the touring lineup of Times Of Grace, and I can honestly say it sounds better then anything KSE has done in the past. I have always dug Jesse's vocals, to me they are better then Howard Jones, sorry....they are! I'd love to see these guys live, even if they don't throw a KSE cover in.
18.) Alter Of Plagues- Mammal
I really hate saying this, but Alter Of Plagues really disappointed me with this one. Their previous work is mindblowing, Mammal feels...boring. Of course like in any Post Black Metal band it does have its moments of impact, but this doesn't nearly have enough. It's very Droney and subdued in a unemotional way. Maybe after a another listen or two I can maybe dig it more, but as of now, it's too uninspired for my taste.
19.) Mogwai- Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will
The way I feel about Mogwai, when they are on, THEY ARE ON. But when they are off, they are really off. To me, this album has both of that. Some of their best work and some of their worst. I guess you can say this is an average album for Mogwai overall because the Ying and Yang are equal. It's a shame considering I love their last album, The Hawk is Howling. Not to say there isn't some great music on here, there is, but the bad songs overshadow it by far. Also their 22 minute bonus track, is pure atmospheric, not bad if it's not long, but 22 MINUTES? no thanks.
20.) Hotel Of The Laughing Tree- Terror And Everything After
One of the most original sounding rock bands I have heard in a long time. And my token Non-Metal album of the year. Every song is pure excitement and enjoyment. Catchy as hell and inspired. Something very hard to find in a Indie Rock band now a days. It does have some heavy moments, but I prefer this album for it's original style and going out of the norm. I would love to see these guys live someday if they ever hit Minnesota. But until then, if you are a fan of great overall music, check this one out for sure.
That concludes part 4. Part 5 (which may end up the last part until the end of the year) will be coming up tomorrow. until then ENJOY!
That Drummer Guy's Reviews, Interviews, Playlists, Radio Shows, & Social Media:
Here it is, part 5 and last part of the first half of the year. 26 albums and EPs here. This is along one so let's get it started.
1.) Hell- Human Remains
Ok, so already by the band name and album title it instantly makes you think of Brutal Death Metal. NOT AT ALL! This is 80's New Wave Of British Heavy Metal brought back to life. Although forming in 1982, Human Remains is the first album from the band. The band broke up in 1987 and shortly after singer, Dave G. Halliday, committed suicide. In 2010 The band got back together and started working on what became Human Remains. The music is very NWOBHM in the best way possible. THIS is the music that needs to come back. As much as I love the New Thrash Revival going on right now, it takes a band like Hell to really showcase the music that needs a return. Hell did it right on this album. It is 80's Metal perfection that was released in 2011. BRAVO!
2.) Scar Symmetry- The Unseen Empire
You can basically take my review for Darkest Hour's The Human Romance, and replace it with Scar Symmetry. I never thought I'd be into these guys again, but I was sooooooo proven wrong with The Unseen Empire. This is a damn good album from start to finish. I guess it took an album and losing their best feature of the band (The vocals) for them to get back on the right track. But it worked. I just hope they can keep this quality of songwriting up.
3.) Neal Morse- Testimony 2
I constantly say this. I listen to as much Christian Progressive Rock as I do Satanic Death Metal. It's about good music, not the lyrical message to me. Music is not going to make me follow god, or burn churches in the name of Satan, I walk the path I walk, But anyways back to the music. Testimony 2, is obviously the sequel to Neal Morse's Testimony. The music is very good. It's a great concept album. But like every Neal Morse album, the message and storyline is practically the same. Not that that's a bad thing. AC/DC and Slayer have been doing that for years. But it would be nice to write different concept albums about the message. the musicality is always great, very Spock's Beard style Progressive Rock, which I love. The bonus track Seeds Of Gold Is one of the coolest pieces of Music I've heard (at 25 minutes of length as well). Overall, it's worth checking out for the music alone if you are into Prog Rock and if you don't mind the message. It's worth checking out.
4.) Anaal Nathrakh- Passion
What an album to come up on random after Testimony 2. The exact opposite of Neal Morse. Absolutely insane Technical and Brutal Death Metal, with oddly enough a lot of clean vocals. The music is spastic as all hell, but very enjoyable. I can tell it takes a strong breed of people to be able to handle Anaal Nathrakh's music. But if you can it is a Death Metal musical journey.
5.) EkoTren- The Dead Of Night
EkoTren is a hard band to pinpoint. I guess Alternative Metal is a good reference? They have a very cool sense of having brutal verses with very melodic Choruses. Yes that might sound like Metalcore, but there is more substance to it then just simply Metalcore. Compared to their debut album, The Dead Of Night is a bit more Hard Rock influenced as well. Overall it is a very catchy enjoyable, heavy album. Well worth a listen.
6.) Belphegor- Blood Magik Necromance
Belphegor is a Blackened Death Metal band that is just plain BRUTAL! Every song is just as chaotic, symphonic and evil as the last. I still believe Behemoth is the best band in all of Blackened Death Metal, Belphegor is definitely in the top 3. They aren't exactly a band I'd normally listen to on normal occasions, but this album is one that works perfect when you need something to release your aggression on. It will also hold purpose until Behemoth gets ready to take over the world once again later this fall.
7.) This Will Destroy You- Tunnel Blanket
BOOOOORING! I'm sorry, just like Explosions in The Sky earlier, nothing really happens in this album. Over 3/4 of the album is keyboard synth soundscapes. When the rest of the band kicks in it only adds a little bit of excitement until it goes away again. I don't get it Post ROck/Post Metal Bands can do it right, Doom Metal bands can do it right, but when add the two together, you get the new album from This Will Destroy You, which you think would be amazing if your fan of either genre. But it way to heavy on soundscape and not enough on creating an enjoyable album. Much to my dismay. I think they are capable of writing good music, I hope they will again on their next album, more then just 3 tracks.
8.) Obscura- Omnvium
Simply put the best damn Progressive/Technical Death Metal album of 2011. I will be hard pressed to find anything that will come close. Obscura has been getting more and more proggy on every album and Omnvium is the perfect mixture for me. Every song is perfection to me, and I can't wait to see them open for Devin Townsend July 5th. Buy this album the second you get a chance. This is what Progressive/Technical Death Metal is suppose to sound like!
9.) Pagan's Mind- Heavenly Ecstasy
Pagan's Mind, the best sounding Dream Theater band that is nothing like Dream Theater band around. Pagan's Mind is the band a lot of hardcore DT wishes Dream Theater sounded like after Awake. Dream Theater is my favorite band of all time, but it very hard to disagree. The add a great blend of Progressive Metal, Power Metal, and Classic Rock. For those who think there is something missing in Progressive Metal, needs to check out Pagan's Mind. Such a great showcase of songwriting and overall musical power.
10.) Cave In- White Silence
Post Hardcore heroes Cave In are back together and are back to being Metal. I had no idea Cave In got back together until I heard this album was released. I immediately got it and spun it. It is such a fantastic album from start to finish. Post Hardcore, Metalcore and Post Rock all mixed together into the band known as Cave In. These guys were desperately needed to come back into music. If they had never broken up, I swear a lot of crap music out there wouldn't be here. For those adventurous enough to give REAL Post Hardcore a chance, check out Cave In's White Silence. it is so damn good.
11.) Angel Vivaldi- Universal Language
The best instrumental Progressive/Djent Metal band this side of Animals As Leaders. This solo project now features ex Mutiny Within drummer, Bill Fore, who absolutely Slays on this 4 track EP. like the two bands I just mentioned, the music is a mixture of Animals As Leaders and Mutiny Within. While staying on the East coast for now, I hope this explodes and becomes huge, it's absolutely Mindblowing!
12.) Wolf- Legions Of Bastards
Wolf is a great overall Heavy Metal band. They really draw their influences of Judas Priest, Saxon, and other great NWOBHM bands. While the album is very straight forward Heavy Metal, it is a great listen and brings you back to the golden days of Metal. For those who need to relive the good days, check out Legions Of Bastards!
13.) The Haunted- Unseen
Wow, what a piece of shit record this is. I'm sorry but there's no other way to describe it. It's like Halford's Made Of Metal last year, ONE decent song, and the rest is pure garbage. The Haunted went from being on the forefront of the Swedish Melodic Death Metal scene to sounding like the band Nickelback and Five Finger Death Punch would be. There's only one way to describe it. PURE SHIT!
1/10 (only for the one good song on the album)
14.) Riverside- Memories In My Hand
Taking a very similar approach as Between The Buried And Me, Riverside is releasing an EP this year to go along with a concept album to be released next year. Riverside is the band of what happens when you mix Dream Theater, Opeth, and Porcupine Tree together. their first few albums, I had a really hard time getting into but as of late they have been writing an original sounding style that doesn't sound like amashup of the aforementioned bands. This 3 track EP is very, VERY good. Very mellow overall but it's original and flows together very nicely. I'm excited to hear What Riverside will be giving us next year!
15.) Devin Townsend- Ghost
The most beautiful album Devin Townsend has put out. That's all that needs to be said.
16.) Woods Of Desolation- Torn Beyond Reason
Possibly the greatest Blackened Post Metal band besides Alcest. Woods Of Desolation does it right. The atmosphere, the songwriting, the ideal of despair mixed with that eerie sense of hope. It's the perfect music to put on when you want to escape from everything, while it will be a depressing escape, its a great sense of musicality that needs to be taken. Buy This Album!
17.) Children Of Bodom- Relentless Reckless Forever
Damn the album title says it all, that sounds like it is Relentless and goes on Forever. This album is atrocious, there's just no other way to say it. So bland and boring. So what if Alexi can shred? If you don't have good song behind it, it sucks. Anything else to say about this album is just repeating myself. Check out their old albums, that's where it's at. Anything past Are You Dead Yet? Don't waste your time.
18.) Vreid- V
One of the finest Black Metal bands going right now. They aren't the stereotypical sounding Black Metal band, they are much more. Almost as if Iron Maiden's approach to Black Metal. V is the first album I have checked out from Vreid, but if this is the quality of music they put out, I'll be checking out all their previous albums. This is what Black Metal should sound like.
19.) The Galactic Cowboy Orchestra- All Out Of Peaches
Possibly the most left of center band on the entire list. Instrumental Orchestral Jazzy Blues Country Progressive Rock. I don't know of any other way to describe them. The album takes you through so many twists and turns leaving you wanting more. Which is my only complaint about the album. It feels a bit too varied at times. I'm hoping for the next album it will be a bit more consistent, rather the just a hodgepodge of genres. Other then that, fantastic album.
20.) Falkenbach- Tiurida
Falkenbach is what I consider to be if Agalloch went straight Folk Metal. This album is so fantastic from start to finish. That's really as fair of a review as I can give, if you like the Folk Metal side of Agalloch, you will LOVE Falkenbach's Tiurida!
21.) The Human Abstract- Digital Veil
The Human Abstract has been the baby brother to Between The Buried And Me and Protest The Hero. Not getting the same notoriety, but has the same level of chops. That said....these guys haven't really impressed me since their debut album. Digital Veil seems a bit bland and just like all the other technical Metal bands that are starting to come from bands who want to ripoff Meshuggah and Cynic. Granted that if I didn't know of Between The Buried And Me, I'd love these guys, but I do, so I really don't. I had hope for them back on their debut album, Nocturne, but not since.
22.) Wo Fat- Noche Del Chupacabra
Wo Fat takes 60's/70's jam bands and mixes it with Stoner Metal. In a sense it's taking Alan Parson's Frankenstein and having Clutch cover it and add their own variations however they see fit. This a phenomenal Stoner Metal band that just started to spring up. the 15 minutes self titled closer is perfect in every sense of the word. If you wanna get high without drugs, check out Wo Fat!
23.) Krallice- Diotima
Krallice is a Black Metal band that is not Black Metal. It is very hard to properly describe these guys and make it have sense without listening to them. While the tremolo picking and blast bats are there with the Black Metal screams, nothing else about it Black Metal. It's Avant Garde to a T. I'm not sure if I like or hate this album, but I'm oddly attracted to it and can't stop listening to it when I have it on. Its definitely an album that you have to take a chance with to have it make sense.
24.) Matterhorn- Vol. 1: The World Began Without Man
Possibly my favorite discovery from a band I know absolutely nothing about until this year. Their debut EP is simply awesome. Mastodon meets Torche. It's the only proper way to describe it. Check it out, I know You'll dig it too.
25.) Between The Buried and Me- The Parallax: The Hypersleep Dialogues
The 30 minute Mini Album from BTBAM to go with the full length album coming out next year. This EP, is FLAWLESS! In my eyes, BTBAM has only gotten better over time and every album surpasses the one before it.I even dare say this is their finest work to date. Lunar Wilderness is by far the greatest song they have ever written. While many are scared of what's going to happen in 2012. I know the full length concept sequel to this EP is coming out. That's all I need.
26.) UnXpect- Fables Of The Sleepless Empire
What a crazy album to end this half of the year. UnXpect is the definition of Avant Gard Metal. They will play ANYTHING they want to in the most fucked up way. But their latest album, is by far the most accessible. It has understandable melodies and harmonies, sections of 4/4 and other standard musical concepts I never expected from UnXpect. But they make it work perfectly. It's the Female fronted version of Fantomas wanted to play Strapping Young Lad.. I love it. this will be the album to make them sucessful, if it doesn't, nothing will.
So that's it for the first half of 2011. I may update this series in September after all the man, MANY progressive Metal albums come out then with many great albums to come before and after. I hope you've enjoyed it so far.
Thanks again, live long and prosper, stay metal, and any other standard closing you want to add.
That Drummer Guy's Reviews, Interviews, Playlists, Radio Shows, & Social Media:
Also, Anaal Nathrakh isn't brutal death metal. Dunno where you got that from.
Annal Nathrakh, is really a mixture of all things Metal. I used that because there is a lot of Death Metal elements to their sound. Of course I could say everything they do, and maybe I still should, but I think for someone who doesn't know them, it's a good reference point.
That Drummer Guy's Reviews, Interviews, Playlists, Radio Shows, & Social Media:
Really cool reviews man. I agree with most of them to a T. I like how you didn't "drink the Kool-aid" on certain bands and tell it like it really is. I definitely rate thrash higher than you but other than that I think this is a great guide to expose people to music they should hear if they haven't.
Props for including Polkadot Cadaver also. I think my expectations were too high but I need to give it another listen anyway.
6/2 - Hatebreed & Devildriver
6/11 - Thrill Kill Kult
8/3 - Deftones
8/14 - Bush & Chevelle
Wow... I have to disagree with you here. I get huge musical boners for the new Krallice and especially the new Human Abstract. Digital Veil is fucking brilliant, man.
I'll never drink the Kool-Aid, if I did Hollywood Undead would be a good band to me. I grew up an uncool guy, going against the norm, so I love giving the REAL opinions instead of kiss ass articles or bashing because it's cool articles. I like being real.
I think the only reason I didn't rate some of the thrash albums higher is because....well look how many there is? I'd look really biased if I gave all the Thrash albums 8's and 9's.
I love Polkadot Cadaver. Almost as much as Dog Fashion Disco. I like Purgatory Dance Party more, but Sex Offender is a damn good album, although the first half is stronger then the 2nd half.
That Drummer Guy's Reviews, Interviews, Playlists, Radio Shows, & Social Media:
I also disagree with your assertion about the rest of the album being somewhat bipolar. In curiosity, which songs do you think are good and/or bad?

I am looking for a little support from hopefully a little more respectful audience!! I posted on another forum and got some flack which upset me so bear with me.
My DS is 10 months old. He'll be starting day care next month part time and slowly increasing his time there until he is full time when I go back to work. He is very healthy and well established on solids. He normally nurses 4 times per day, two of which are during the mid day.
My doctor says it's fine to introduce him to whole milk. He's in the 75% for growth. I'm ok with this as eventually I won't be able to nurse during those two day nursings and I am not really keen on pumping as I found it difficult in the past and DS doesn't like the bottle and is not bottle trained (I am not sure I'd want to introduce it anyway at this point since he uses a cup and sippy cup). I talked with a few other moms that have weaned and the advice was to replace the day nursing sessions with the whole milk. Problem is DS doesn't like milk and is not taking very much. I also offer him water at meals and snack.
For the last three days I have found that he will make it to about 1:30 (just in time for PM nap) then start to have a melt down if I put him down without nursing..... so I end up nursing him (normally I would nurse him after nap at around 3 or 3:30). Now I am not sure if it's cause he is thirsty or cause he just wants to nurse. Surely he can't be hungry cause he eats a fair amount for a 10 mth old... three meals a day and two snacks..... so I am a little stressed about what to do and am just looking for ideas....
- Should I just send him to daycare without weaning those feedings? I am thinking this is bad because it's kind of like cold turkey for him and I will probably suffer some serious engorgement.
- Should I just keep trying with milk?
- Should I try rice or soy milk?
- Should I try flavouring it? (not really keen on that but I read that in someone else's post).
Any ideas would be appreciated and please no criticism for me introducing milk this early.

Signs, Signs, Everywhere A-Signs....
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Best sign I ever saw was a "Dead End" street sign and at the end of the street...a cemetery!
I saw a sign one time for "Animal Hospital" right next to one that said "Flea Market."
Off the expressway in Troy, Mi a Sign reads: Big Beaver - Exit 69
The funniest sign I saw said" If you can't read this sign please call this number"
Funniest road sign I saw was "Dips Ahead." It was near a state capital.
The funniest one I've ever seen was in Oklahoma (yeah I know big surprise)
The sign said,
"State property, do not molest, violators will be prostituted"
another of my favorites was a billboard for an aquarium next to sushi restaurant
the funniest sign i saw was "brand new antiques"
My favorite is F***ing, Austria. Even better, they had to cement the town's sign deep into the ground because English speaking tourists were stealing it and only coming to the town to pose with the sign. And in the article the one person who lived in F***ing, Austria said tourists always ask him "Where is the f***ing gift shop?" Look it up!
Going down thru georgia I found a sign at a street corner a single sign having two different names for the same street. one way was Trojan Street. The other way was Clinic Street.
There is a sign on Electric Avenue in Concord NH that says "No Outlet"
the funniest sign i have seen was in the phillapines. ERECTION A HEAD. they were putting up a building.
Cross streets sign in Ann Arbor, Mi reads "Nixon/Bluett".
have read a sign which says .." GO ... SLOW MEN AT WORK". was it meant to say: "Go Slow, Men At Work"?
I loved the one I saw. It was an old church sign stating that "the best position is on you knees".
theres a cemetery in Buffalo named "Amigone"
Oh and there is also a ####, Norway. And because it is in frosty Norway, it does occasionally freeze over.
In the Hill Country of Texas you have to go through Welfare before you find Comfort.
west chester , ohio has a corner of Grin and Barret
I saw a sign that was supposed to read "WATCH FOR ICE ON BRIDGE" Someone put an "M" in front of ice
My contribution the one that "El Rushbo" mentioned in central South Carolina(which is a whole other country) is a road sign showing Clinton in one direction and Prosperity in another...just sayin'
the funniest one i've seen was "ADULT VIDEO", and right before that sign was "JESUS IS WATCHING YOU.."
My favorite sign was in a town in Kansas. The gas company is named "The People's Natural Gas"
sign for canyon dam in texas "SLOW DOWN SEE OUR DAM, SPEED UP SEE OUR @#$% JUDGE"
In Redding Ca There is a small stip mall with a Gun Store, a Pharmacy and a Liqour Store..... The big on the street for the mall was GUNS< DRUGS< BOOZE!!!!
A pet store is called Sniff Dawg. and the sign reads "Sniff Dawg (In Rear)"
On I-5 in San Diego, there used to be a sign that said "Cruise Ships use Airport exit"
The funniest one I saw was at the door of a funeral parlor: "Thank you, Come again"
And then there are the signs all over North Carolina: "BURN HEADLIGHTS DURING RAIN" Burn them? I tried, but they wouldn't catch fire during a rain.
There is a really great sign in Sea Isle City, New Jersey. It is the street sign at the intersection of 69th Street and Pleasure Avenue. As you might suppose, the street sign at that intersection gets stole a lot
In Greenville, NC there is Hooker Blvd that runs right up to the Convention Center. How convenient is that? !
Best sign ever: "Parking in Rear" outside a Gay club. Classic!
Somebody sent me a list of these with a railway station sign in Sweden? that read "Do not stand too close to the railroad platform while a train is in motion...you will be sucked off". Let's go!
Church sign near Aurora, Missouri, "Hurting people welcome here."
I saw this one on a community center:
'Don't forget, alzheimers meeting thursday'
And last but not least......
DO NOT THROW CIGARETTE BUTTS IN URINALS to which someone added IT MAKES THEM SOGGY AND HARD TO LIGHT.
Sh*t happens... but don't worry, it usually happens to me.

More to the storyJuly 29,2014
More to the story
Rob Ropers commentary of July 26 makes some good points about the importance of small business to Vermonts economy. However, Roper couches his argument in a way that seems to say that small business is in trouble in Vermont. He gives us the example of Benways Taxi in Burlington, which failed, says the proprietor, Wanda Robar, due to the new health care laws, burdensome regulations, etc. Then Roper goes on to tell us that the West Danville General Store closed after 100 years but he offers no information about why. Then we learn the owner of the Weybridge General Store says he might be next.
So, in an 800-word commentary, Roper mentions just one example of a business actually going under where the owner claimed insurance costs, etc. as the problem. And, even here, the closing might well be for more complicated reasons. An article in the Burlington Free Press of June 18 mentions that Mrs. Robars husband and business partner for 30 years died three years ago. Is it possible that Mrs. Robar felt unable to continue on her own? Is it possible that using insurance costs as an excuse allows her to avoid discussing personal issues that brought about the closure? And why is it, if running a small business of this type is so impossible, that the owner of Green Cab VT in Burlington immediately declared that he was aggressively increasing the size of his operation to pick up the business Benways was dropping?
Apparently, there is at least one small-business owner who believes he can thrive in Vermont. Maybe things arent as bad as Mr. Roper would have us believe.

What is in this article?:
- Social media: The next agricultural frontier
- Being used successfully
- One Virginia farmer flips his steering wheel forward on the tractor and lets the GPS navigation take over as he sits back and Tweets.
- Another farmer admitted on a national TV program that he's glad his church has poor cell phone reception; otherwise he'd Tweet through the entire sermon.
- As in any frontier, the boundaries are being pushed back every day as new forms of media come onboard.
The father of one of our employees used to say that he was born 100 or 200 years too late. He wanted to be a pioneer, to paddle a canoe for Lewis and Clark or work on the first transcontinental railroad.
After his wife died, he was confounded by the mysteries of the microwave, the TV remote and the answering machine. So one day when he threatened to set up his camp stove in the kitchen, our employee said to him, "It's not too late, Dad. Be a pioneer. Learn how to use the microwave."
Sometimes we need a nudge like that in agriculture.
Today most farmers use computers, the internet, cell phones, smart phones, perhaps even PDAs like tablets or notebooks. But when it comes to Social Media, many still lag behind. That may mean they are missing great opportunities to interact with and educate the public, not to mention promote their farms and their products.
Let me ask a simple question to see how Social Media Savvy (SMS) you are. What do the 2010 Person of the Year and the 2010 Word of the Year have in common? Here's a hint: the Person of the Year is Mark Zuckerberg and the Word of the Year is crackberry. If you knew the answer even before the hint, congratulations, you are SMS. If even the hint has you scratching your head, you may need some help getting comfortable in this relatively new world of Social Media. But first, let me answer the question — Mark Zuckerberg is the founder and CEO of Facebook and a crackberry is someone who is addicted to his or her smart phone.
I don't know if I'm a crackberry or not. Certainly I've never done what one farmer does who flips his steering wheel forward on the tractor and lets the GPS navigation take over as he sits back and Tweets. And another admitted on a national TV program that he's glad his church has poor cell phone reception; otherwise he'd Tweet through the entire sermon.
While I may not qualify as a bona fide crackberry, my comments about Social Media are serious. As Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), one of my jobs is to be a spokesperson for agriculture. I'm learning more and more each day that I must use Social Media to do that most effectively. I'm learning this from my children, age nine and five.
My daughter, who is in the fourth grade, recently came home explaining how much she loved a new application she used on an ipad in class and asked when she could have her own Facebook page. Suddenly I realized that Social Media is here to stay.

A 3-year-old New Jersey boy has a golf swing some pros would envy.
And he's only got one arm.
Tommy Morrissey's parents told Golf Digest his interest in the sport started at a very early age. He started watching golf on TV at just 13 months old, and began mimicking the players by 18 months.
These days, Tommy can hit the ball more than 100 yards. And it's straight on nearly every time.
"They look at him and see how small he is and they say, 'Awesome, the little guy can hit a golf ball,'" Tommy's father, Joe, told Philadelphia TV station WTXF. "And then they look and they see that he's doing it with one hand and they say, 'That's incredible.' And then after they watch him, after they learn, he's just a little boy, just killing it, they walk away and say, 'he's an inspiration.'"

History of the Peace Corps in Ethiopia
|History of the Peace Corps
|Since 1960, when then Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries, more than 182,000 Peace Corps Volunteers have served in 138 countries all over the globe.

History of the Peace Corps in Ethiopia
Peace Corps/Ethiopia is one of the oldest Peace Corps programs. The first group of Peace Corps Volunteers arrived in Ethiopia (including present-day Eritrea) in September 1962, with 279 secondary school teachers. Volunteers worked in both secondary and vocational/technical schools, with others working in the health, small business, rural development, law, and agriculture sectors. From 1962 to 1977, Peace Corps/Ethiopia was one of the largest Peace Corps programs in the world. More than 3,000 Volunteers served in the country before Peace Corps terminated the program in 1977 due to the unstable political situation.
In 1991, the Marxist regime in power since 1974 was overthrown. The new government requested Peace Corps' return and in July 1995, 25 Peace Corps Volunteers arrived as secondary school English teachers. Hostilities between Ethiopia and Eritrea erupted in 1999, forcing Peace Corps to suspend its operations; the program was officially closed in March 2000. In May 2002, Peace Corps received an invitation from the government of Ethiopia to resume its program. After a thorough assessment process, the program reopened with the arrival of 43 health Volunteers in October 2007. Plans are underway to initiate an environment program by September of 2010.
History and Future of Peace Corps Programming in Ethiopia
The Peace Corps has been involved in almost every facet of Ethiopia's development over the past decades, making contributions in the fields of education, health, rural development, and small business development. Peace Corps' current program focuses on HIV/AIDS. Volunteers collaborate with Ethiopian counterparts to support the government of Ethiopia's strategy to create and strengthen community- and family-centered HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and support models in the Amhara, Oromiya, Tigray, and Southern Nations regions. Placements will be in health centers, community based organizations, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and HIV/AIDS resource centers. Peace Corps plans to expand into the environment sector by September 2010. Environment Volunteers will collaborate with Ethiopian counterparts to support the government of Ethiopia's strategy to protect its bio-diversity and promote effective and sustainable management of its natural resources.

UW-L Chancellor addresses spring semester
Celebration of awards, concerns over budget
The UW-La Crosse campus will be bustling with students starting on Monday for the spring semester, but before any textbooks are cracked open, the university's chancellor gave his annual spring address on Wednesday.
Chancellor Joe Gow described his speech as a celebration of great things at the university, ranging from a number of national awards and grants, to consistent recognition of the campus' value by a number of publications, and the return of the National Conference on Undergraduate Research this April.
However, Gow says retaining the high caliber staff at the university is a challenge because of on-going budget constraints.
"They haven't had a raise in over five years and you know we win awards and things and get national recognition well the faculty and staff that do that, people can come and recruit them away and say 'hey we'll pay you a little better' so we need to watch that and work on that in the coming budget," says Gow.
As of February 1st, Gow will have been the university's chancellor for 6 years.

First off I love the Thread
But....Harrington better than Randolph! I know Randolph is still unproven, but Al Harrington is a scorer (albeit a pretty affective one) but nothing more than that, Randolph will produce (even without reaching his maxium potential) than Al Harrington would.
Plus your PF comparison should be Amare vs. Harrington in which case the advantage cleary goes to New Knicks
and the Center comparison she be comparing Lee and Turiaf, while Lee is a better rebounder and overall offensive player, Tariaf is a much better defender
So by my scoring it goes
PG:advatage 2010
SG: draw
SF:advantage 2010 simply because we have to assume that Gallo will be better
PF:Advantage 2010
C: draw
6th man: draw simply because what Randolph can produce compared to what Nate did produce is unknown....but you have to imagine Randolph shouldnt be the headache Nate was for us.
Bench:Adv. 2010 Toney Douglas and Azebuke represent a better tandon than Hughes and Jefferies Mozgov should produce more than Jordan Hill or certainley Millic.
There is not one area where we were better in 2009
2010 is going to be better....but 2009 only won 29 games so how much is that really saying!?

The School Library Profiles developed by the Library Research Service are meant to be used as a comparative tool for school libraries in Colorado. The results represent data received from school libraries that completed the 2006 Colorado School Library Survey. Profiles for each participating school compare individual school data with averages for schools with similar grade level and enrollment ranges. Please note that since all data were derived from responses to the survey, schools that did not respond to the survey are not represented in the Profiles.
Use the school locator (below) to find the school for which you would like to see the 2006-2007 School Library Profile. Remember, schools that did not respond to the 2006 Colorado School Library Survey will not be represented in the Profiles.
Please Note: Starting with the 2008-09 profiles, we are using medians instead of averages for the comparison groups. Medians represent the school in the middle of each statistic - i.e., there are equal numbers of schools above and below the median. For this reason, we felt this was more representative of the "typical" school than average, which can be more strongly influenced by outliers.

BSC Educational Administrator Attends National Conference Focused Upon Strengthening Teacher Education Programs for Minority-Serving Institutions
CreatedTuesday, March 20 2012
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
(Bluefield)—Dr. Betsy Steenken, Interim Dean/Bluefield State College School of Education, attended the recent Historically Black Colleges & Universities, Hispanic Speaking Institutions, and Tribal Colleges/Native American Institutions Invitational Conference "Many Cultures, One Common Thread" in San Antonio, Texas.
The conference was sponsored by Educational Testing Service (ETS) and featured presentations on topics relevant to educators and administrators from minority institutions with teacher preparation programs. Current research and initiatives being sponsored by ETS include students' math achievement, academic effects of bilingual and English language learners, test regeneration and score setting of PRAXIS exams, impact of PRAXIS I scores on PRAXIS II, and ensuring fairness and equity in test development.
Keynote speakers addressed legal and legislative issues that currently affect HBCUs and Hispanic serving institutions, achievement gaps, and recruiting and hiring highly qualified teachers in high risk school districts.
"The conference provided a wonderful opportunity for faculty and administrators to share strategies and discuss common issues and problems," Dr. Steenken noted. "We are all dedicated to producing within teacher education the best candidates—individuals who will be able to meet the challenges of helping all students learn. We must be sure that, as 'Institutes of Higher Education,' we provide the knowledge and most effective strategies to accomplish this goal. "

Pedestrian struck and killed on I-81
MARTINSBURG – The remains of a 64-year-old man believed to be from New Jersey were found Friday morning on Interstate 81, and charges are currently pending against a tractor-trailer driver who allegedly struck and killed him.
As of Friday, identification of the victim was pending until his next of kin are notified.
"He's not from this area. He had an Amtrak ticket in his pocket from yesterday. We don't know if he got off at Winchester or Martinsburg," Berkeley County Sheriff Kenneth "Kenny" Lemaster Jr. said.
Police said that at about 8 a.m. Friday, the Berkeley County's Sheriff's Department received a call from the Washington County Sheriff's Department in Maryland and were told that deputies there were with a tractor-trailer that showed evidence it had struck either a human or an animal.
When questioned, the driver of the tractor-trailer told police that he believed he struck a deer at about 2:30 a.m. while traveling north on I-81 somewhere in the area between the 11- and 14-mile marker in Berkeley County.
The driver told police that after the impact, the tractor-trailer became disabled and was towed to Hagerstown, Md., from the 13-mile marker.
Berkeley County sheriff's deputies responded to the area on I-81 and located the remains of the pedestrian at the 12-mile marker.
"A crime scene was set up and the medical examiner was called to the scene. Of course, the person was declared deceased at the scene, and investigators from the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department were dispatched over to Washington County to further investigate and interview the driver," Lemaster said.
The tractor-trailer was a FedEx carrier from North Carolina. The driver's identity has not been released.
Charges of failure to render aid and failure to report a motor vehicle accident are currently pending against the driver, police said.
The incident is still under investigation at this time. Anyone with any information regarding this incident is asked to contact Lt. Gary Harmsion at 304-267-7000 or Berkeley County Crime Solvers at 304-267-4999.

Happy MLK day everyone.
PG: Raymond Felton vs. Shaun Livingston
SG: Iman Shumpert vs. Alan Anderson
SF: Carmelo Anthony vs. Joe Johnson
PF: Andrea Bargnani vs. Paul Pierce
C: Tyson Chandler vs. Kevin Garnett
Questionable: Pablo Prigioni (toe)
Out: Kenyon Martin (ankle), Amar'e Stoudemire (ankle) Metta World Peace (knee)
Happy MLK day everyone.
Woodson put on his thinking cap and started Prigioni & Felton
Shumpert is so trash on offense it kills me. I want him to be so good so bad
Typical early game. No energy. This is going to be a blowout.
Lets see Shump be that lockdown defender again, its about time.
Don't get too upset guys it is a early game which is a automatic Loss this year. We just are showing today how terrible we are this year. Sadly, if we don't win 3/4 of the next 10 games, why bother. Blow this team up
Instead of Chandler, we can just put a life-size cardboard cutout of him on the court. Same effect on the court. Save $15 million.
Chris Herring @HerringWSJ This says a lot about NYKs lack of defense. MT @uuords: Nets average 5.7 corner 3 attempts/game. They have 7 attempts in the first 14 mins.


text: I've learned through the years that not only are all eyes shaped differently and require different makeup applications, but my clients have very strong preferences on how they like to have their eyes done! I have a dozen clients that refuse to wear liner on the upper lid and only want it along the bottom. In the beginning (travel back to 2003) I didn't really understand why and just thought different strokes for different folks… then I realized it's because they didn't want to lose any upper eye space that could potentially close up their eyes or make them look smaller! Genius, actually! So today I present the Upside Down Cat Eye, a dramatic style for those with smaller eyes or those who just want to try something different! (more…)
