Testament -- Silver Spring, MD -- February 12th, 2013
Skipped class for the first time in my grad school career to go to this show and I'm very glad I did. I got to The Fillmore about an hour before doors opened and got a spot on the rail between the center of the stage and Eric's mic, right where I wanted. The opener, 4 Arm, was decent but I'll never listen to them again. They seemed like pretty good players and nice guys but it wasn't anything ground breaking. They played for a half hour and did about 7 songs. Next up was Flotsam & Jetsam. I knew their name but had never listened to them before. Again, they were decent. They said they hadn't toured in 15 years or so. They played for about half an hour I believe.
Overkill followed, I've never been into them but I was interested in seeing what the hype was about. Their stage setup was really cool with the metal grate in front of the drum riser and the smoke machine. They got a pretty good response and they were energetic. I enjoyed seeing them as an opening band but I wouldn't go to a headlining show or anything, cool to have seen them though. They play some weird looking instruments. Something that was strange was that Bobby kept running offstage between verses for most of the songs and his mic was turned down incredibly low, a lot of the time I could hardly hear him. Others said the same thing after the set. His antics during the final song were interesting to say the least, the reaction from the security guards was awesome.

Next up was the reason I was there. My 5th time seeing Testament. Although they are not my favorite band ever based on their studio albums (I love their stuff but the fucking terrible production on almost all their early records make them hard to listen to super frequently), I love their live show and they are always intense, technical, energetic, and fun. Their stage setup is cool with risers around the drums for the guys to walk on. Before they came on I was afraid they might have Overkill's sound problem, which would have been strange because The Fillmore usually has great sound.
Once Rise Up started it was clear that that would not be the case. The sound was phenomenal, extremely heavy but extremely clear and balanced. I could hear Chuck really well and the drums sounded massive. That might have been some of the best live drum sound I've ever heard. The guys ripped it up as usual. Every member is brilliant at their instrument and each one moves around, and smiles, and interacts really well with the audience. I made eye contact and got smiles from Chuck, Eric, and Greg a few times. I loved the Dark Roots material, I wish they would have played even more of it. Riding the Snake was a really cool cut and so was Trial by Fire. The hits are always good but Burnt Offerings and The Haunting were especially cool. I wish their albums sounded as good production wise as they do live. The crowd was into it and I'd say it was about 75% full. Chuck said multiple times how much he enjoyed playing at the Silver Spring Fillmore and that he hopes it's a frequent stop for them in the future. He also said they were trying to put together a tour for the summer and to be on the lookout for that. His intro to Native Blood about what the song means for him was really cool. At the end of the show I got a Chuck pick and an Alex pick and then I found another Chuck pick on the ground after they had left the stage. I waited around for a few minutes and a roadie gave me a leftover Eric pick from the mic stand. My previous 4 times seeing them I had only ever gotten 1 Alex pick so I made out quite well.
There was only one lame thing about this show. Fucking crowdsurfers. Everything was totally fine all through Overkill and halfway through Testament. Some pitting but whatever, that's fine as long as it's contained to the people that are choosing to be part. But during Riding the Snake and Eyes of Wrath, the two deepest cuts of the whole set, the shitheads got riled up. It got bad, some of the worst surfing I've ever had to deal with. It overwhelmed security at some points and a few surfers (quite deservedly!) hit the cement fucking hard. Crowd surfing is the stupidest thing you can do at a show. You're putting yourself at risk, you're putting everyone you force yourself over at risk, and you're putting security at risk. The guy next to me got his arm fucked up when a surfer went over him and landed on his arm that was on the barrier. His forearm was out over the barrier and the surfer landed on it and bent it over the barrier. It appeared to be swelling quickly. Fuck that shit.
Sorry for the rant but that's a major pet peeve of mine. Beyond that, the show ruled. I took a pic of the merch stand. They were sold out of everything but XL though. If anyone is going to one of the remaining shows and could pick me up the Dark Roots album cover shirt with dates in medium as seen on the left in the photo I'll papypal you the cost of the shirt and shipping. I would really appreciate it. If no one takes me up on my offer out of kindness I may offer you a few dollars extra if you could do me the favor. I haven't bought a shirt since September because they've always been sold out.

Excellent review. You wouldnt happen to have the times of when each band went on do you? You do you recall how much that baseball tshirt was? Is that Testament on both the front and back of it?
There are ways to avoid it though. Not being up on the rail is the best option. You'll get hit by just about every surfer there is if you're up there. Being up front isn't always the best way to see a show. Stay away from where all the crowd activity is if you can. Your experience will be much more comfortable and enjoyable.
When I see this show on sunday they're playing a 1,000 capacity venue and my guess is the place will be about half full or just a little more than that. There will be plenty of room for me to wonder around and find a good spot and enjoy the show without any disturbances.
Nice review
Crowdsurfing and moshing are a major part of a metal show. Especially thrash.
Moshin' til' I'm dead!!!
I don't have a problem with moshing. The moshers can go until their noses are bleeding and bones are broken for all I care. Like the OP said, at least moshing is an activity that is contained in a certain area and only those that want to get involved in it participate. Crowd surfing forces those that don't want anything to do with it to get involved because people are going over the whole crowd and getting in your way when all you want to do is watch and enjoy the show.
Like I said in my other post, there are things you can do to avoid the surfers if you don't like it. Which is what I do at concerts now, but still the activity is dangerous for all involved.

Sweet review man! Kinda bummed I have to miss this tour
I have mixed feelings on crowdsurfing (moshing is obviously good in my book). I have been hurt (nothing serious) by crowdsurfers landing on me, and it can be a pain having to look up every 5 seconds when trying to watch a show. But it is true that if I wasn't up for that, I could stand on the side. I know people love doing it, and I love to see a crowd go absolutely wild. Some of my best shows have been filled with pits and crowdsurfers. It can be a pain, but it does add to the excitement, in my opinion.

Here's how RW members rated this race (242 votes).
In short: Great atmosphere, a bit muddy, slightly windy but nothing too bad and surprisingly a new PB. Wonderful atmosphereDate of review: December 28, 2012
In short: Loved it - back again next yearIn full: Second time running this race, and as others have said, very muddy and the wind particularly in the last couple of miles was challenging. I wore road shoes which added a bit of extra challenge, still managed a PB somehow! Back again next year - well done organisers and everyone else involved. If you want a big city tarmac marathon then this isn't for you. If you want decent scenery, a bit of mud, gravel, shingle and some tarmac, give it a go!Date of review: December 28, 2012
In short: ....better than Christmas shopping.....In full: This was event was chosen so that I could end the year by running my 9th marathon/ultra of 2012 and my 80th marathon/ultra overall. I found it very well organised with great support from all the spectators and fellow runners that created a lovely atmosphere. The ground underfoot was testing in places and another year I would wear trail shoes rather than road which are still drying out!My only disappointment and this seems to apply to most races now is the selfishness of a minority of runners who just discard their empty gel packets along the route rather than carry them to the next drinks station.So all those who needlessly litter the countryside should be ashamed of themselve especially as it reflects badly on the organisers. Date of review: December 27, 2012
In short: A good pre-christmas challenge!In full: Well organised race with plenty of pre race updates. varied course which was tricky under foot so not a great PB course. Thanks to all the marshalls and supporters. Date of review: December 27, 2012
In short: My first ever Marathon and i finished it!! In full: This was first attempt at a marathon and it felt very special being able to run it in Portsmouth my home town. The runners I met before and during the marathon were very supportive and although the terrain consisted of mud, glorious mud and water logged paths it all added to the challenge and made this race memorable for so many reasons! I found it tough, very tough. I took a tumble during the race and survived but the personal satisfaction of finishing the race will live with me for ever! Thanks to all the marshalls and people that supported the race it was very much appreciated. Date of review: December 25, 2012
In short: Difficult with the Mud on the return routeIn full: The scenery was as expected for a coastal marathon.Not a PB course in those muddy conditions and with runners avoiding oncoming runners. Atmosphere was good, I thought the water stations could have had more people handing drinks to the runners instead, I had to stop at the benches to get water. So not getting a very good time, that and wearing road shoes didn't help. A bit heavy underfoot on the homeward trail. Definately a fun run more than a serious PB course. Date of review: December 25, 2012
In short: Excellent race In full: My first Portsmouth marathon : it was a nice experience shame it was so muddy and slippery . Fall over twice ! Organisation great , thanks the paramedics team who cleaned me up at the end . Would do it again, Date of review: December 25, 2012
In short: Multi-terrain, friendly, picturesque and well worth the trip.Date of review: December 24, 2012
In short: Definitely multi-terrain. Expect soft mud after rain.Date of review: December 24, 2012
In short: Good course but waterlogged this yearIn full: On any other day, that hadn't been preceded by two weeks of rain, this course would have been a joy to run. As it was it was a mudbath on the return leg. I foolishly wore road running shoes and as a result slipped and fell three times - thank you to the other runners who offered to pick me up at the 17 mile mark. Support and marshalling was good and friendly. Small improvements that could be made - add a sign on first turnstile and baggage area should be controlled and marshalled.Would I do it again ? Only if the rain stays away.Date of review: December 24, 2012

In the medical field, sometimes one decision can make the difference in saving a patient's life.
Viterbo University nursing students are gaining confidence in making those tough decisions with the help of some high-tech technology.
When taking care of patients, doctors and nurses have to be prepared for just about anything.
"Hey Doris, I'm going to be your nurse today. My name is Dave," said David Golomski, a Viterbo University nursing student.
Golomski is one of five Viterbo nursing students training on how to respond to real life scenarios with the help of Doris, a hi-tech mannequin.
"It can be intimidating," said Golomski. "Sometimes the patient will be kind of difficult for you."
"They fixed my hip today," said Doris, the high tech mannequin. "Yup, how's that feeling?" Golomski asked Doris.
The technology is as close as it gets for students to be able to practice real life scenarios without major consequences for mistakes.
"You know if you do screw up, they're not going to necessarily die," said Golomski. "So it gives you a chance, and if you're really struggling then you can ask questions and tell the instructor, 'I'm not sure what to do here' and it kind of enhances your learning that way too."
But don't let Doris' plastic appearance fool you. She blinks, she breathes and even responds to questions and medications just like a person.
"Doris, can you stay awake for me?" asked Golomoski.
"Would you stop that?" replied Doris.
The magic happens in a back room behind a one-way mirror.
Instructors are able to see and control Doris's every move.
"Everything hurts now, especially where you're rubbing my chest," said Doris. "Stop that."
It's real-world experience the instructors said is just as good or sometimes even better than training in an actual hospital.
"You're at the mercy of the patients in the hospital," said Pam Knowles, assistant professor of nursing at Viterbo. "If the hospital is having a good day, the students are having a good day. They might not learn a whole lot. In simulation we can make sure that students are learning what we really need them to learn in order to be safe nurses."
While these training simulations may only last for a class period, the confidence students gain stays with them far after the scenario ends.
"We're probably going to come back every 15 minutes to check on you OK?" said Golomski. "Ok, I'll be watching the clock and telling you if you're late," replied Doris. "OK, if you need anything else just use your call button OK?" responded Golomski.
The technology has only been a part of the Viterbo nursing curriculum for about a year, but is proving to be a helpful learning technique for students who have graduated from the program.
Knowles said several graduates who have gone on to be professionals in the medical field have encountered some of the scenarios they worked through as students, and have been able to rely on their simulation training to help them take better care of their patients.
Viterbo has four high-tech mannequins to use for simulations.
So far, more than 200 students have participated in the simulations throughout their course work.

You don't have to leave the Midwest this winter to enjoy a mind-blowing round of golf. The U.P. Ice Golf Scramble will take place March 1, 2014, in St. Ignace. Calling it a one-of-a-kind event just doesn't do it justice. Mindy Rutgers from St. Ignace Visitors Bureau tells us why:
1. A Chip Off the Old (ice) Block
You know your favorite course like the back of your hand. You may have even golfed all of the interesting venues in Michigan. Let St. Ignace introduce you to a new course and a new twist on your favorite pastime. Anyone can say they shot the back nine, but how many of your friends can say they played on 12 plus inches of ice? Few duffers can lay claim to rounds on Lake Huron or Lake Michigan, but the UP Ice Golf Scramble has courses on both of the lakes.
2. A Fun and Level Playing Field
Literally and figuratively – this outing offers a level playing field. Literally – because the lakes are flat and the courses as level as Mother Nature can make them. Figuratively, because we've constructed an event that places the emphasis on fun. It's a two-person, best-ball scramble, which is our way of saying that even if you've never golfed in your life, partner up and take a swing at a winter adventure. No handicaps. No pros. Just fun.
3. White is The New Green
Swap your golf cart for a sled and turn your white golf balls a color of your choosing and you're ready to play one of the three courses offered – the Chief Wawatam on Lake Huron, the Mighy Mac on Lake Michigan or the Greenland, also on Lake Michigan.
4. Go to the Extreme
Golf is traditionally a quiet, relaxed sport. But in this age of amped-up activities, bucket lists, and thrill-seeking, what could be more extreme than playing through atop 20 fathoms of icy cold waters? St. Ignace has a long history of using the frozen Great Lakes as a playground – from snowmobiling to pond hockey championships – but if you haven't golfed Michigan or Huron, you haven't taken full advantage of the state's winter wonderland.
5. A Mighty Mac of a Prize
Teams can also enter a decorated sled for judging and a chance to win two tickets to the top of the Mackinac Bridge towers. These coveted tours don't come around often, so flex your creative muscle and get to work on a showpiece sled that will dazzle the judges and your fellow golfers.
6. Golf Clothes Never Looked So Good
Are you turned off by the stuffy attire required on some courses? Ice golfers can forget about the preppy polo shirt or the golf knickers. Pack your thermal underwear, your fleece and anything else that can provide layers of warmth. Make sure you have a touk (a knitted winter hat) or a Stormy Kromer (a stylish wool cap made in the Upper Peninsula) and remember your sun glasses because St. Ignace is known for beautiful winter sunshine!
Learn more and register for the U.P. Ice Golf Scramble at www.stignace.com or call (800)338-6660.
Have you ever played golf on a frozen Great Lake? Tell us about your experience!
Mindy Rutgers is the Executive Director of the St. Ignace Visitors Bureau. She has worked in Michigan's tourism & hospitality industry since 1996, holding posts in the Detroit metro area, as well as in the Upper Peninsula. She is also a seasoned ice golfer, but will focus on hosting, rather than competing in, the UP Ice Golf Scramble.

Joe's Boot Shop has redefined the meaning of customer appreciation over the years with its annual July 4th Great Tent Event. You don't even have to be a customer to appreciate it.
Store patrons can expect live music and free drinks as the Western apparel and supplies store on Mabry Drive raises its tent for three days of entertainment this weekend.
"At first, (owners) Joe and Darla (Rhodes) cooked seven briskets in his yard and hired a band. It was a customer appreciation thing," said Scot Stinnett, advertising director for Joe's Boot Shop. "They had the event there for four or five years before they got a tent so all of the boots could be displayed. It was basically in their front and back yards. They had free food and drinks for everyone, and now, 21 years later, we have a deal where (the event) is going for three days."
This year's event, kicking off Friday, will continue Saturday and Monday.
Customers who purchase a pair of boots from Joe's during the event will be treated to their choice of barbecue.
There's no charge for listening to the sounds of regionally recognized country performers Asleep at the Wheel, Johnny Rodriguez, Emilio, Tommy Overstreet and Jody Miller.
Up and coming groups from the area will also entertain crowds. Those artists include Curtis Potter, New Mexican Luke Reed and, coming from Logan, the Santa Fe Band.
One of the event's mainstays, Muleshoe Assembly of God preacher Jack Stone, will perform Gospel songs.
"I enjoy going back every year," Stone said. "I get a chance to see a lot of the friends I've made over the years through the event. It's like a reunion."
The performances are slated from 10:30 a.m. until about 6 p.m. each day.
Shuttles are available from the parking lots located behind Hamilton Ford and Bender Nissan.
"It's just an awesome event," Stone said. "It draws so many people in because of its wonderful entertainment.
"They just offer the whole community a variety of music. … They're everything for everybody."

Battle lines being drawn in controversy
Battle lines are now being drawn on both sides of the growing controversy about potential tougher laws and regulations in West Virginia that can impact the purchase of pseudoephedrine in pharmacies, since this drug is the main ingredient used to produce methamphetamine.
The West Virginia Legislature recently passed a law that requires pharmacies to keep all products that contain pseudoephedrine behind the counter. This way, those who purchase the products must provide identification and each purchase is tracked through a computer-based system. And earlier this year West Virginia joined 29 other states in tracking pseudoephedrine sales through the National Precursor Log Exchange (NPLEx).
While some officials question the effectiveness of this new system, figures indicate that West Virginia law enforcement officers have already busted more meth labs this year than in all of 2012. More than 100 were found in Kanawha County alone, according to West Virginia State Police records.
Pseudoephedrine is a common ingredient in nasal decongestants and is available in pill or liquid form. There are more than a dozen brand names including Sudafed, Claritin-D and Zyrtec-D as well as more than 50 generic versions. And while it is possible to make methamphetamine without pseudoephedrine, it is far more difficult.
U. S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-WV, who was back in the state during the congressional recess last week, visited a Charleston branch of Fruth Pharmacy with company president Lynn Fruth to learn more about Nexafed, a medication that contains pseudoephedrine but is more difficult to use in producing meth.
If the use of methamphetamine continues to climb in West Virginia, Rep. Capito believes the state legislature should consider passage of a new law to require a prescription to purchase products with meth's main ingredient – pseudoephedrine.
But the pharmaceutical companies and others are opposed to requiring a prescription for pseudoephedrine sales. These opponents claim it would mean extra trips to the doctor, adding to the cost and inconvenience of buying the product.
Currently, Oregon and Mississippi are the only two states in the country that require prescriptions to purchase pseudoephedrine-based products. And meth lab busts have dropped substantially in those states.
As might be expected, an organization representing over-the-counter drug companies insist making pseudoephedrine a prescription-only drug will not solve this state's meth problem. Instead, representatives of the Consumer Healthcare Products Association say the state needs to adopt a multi-faceted approach, including educating the public about the dangers of meth, handing down harsher punishments to convicted meth makers and also making better use of the state's current pseudoephedrine sales tracking system.
- ? ?
Meanwhile, this state's plans to create a so-called legacy fund patterned after the once in North Dakota – according to State Senate President Jeff Kessler (D-Marshall) – should not be that difficult to create now that several state lawmakers and several other representatives of business, industry and labor have checked out a similar program in that state. Just don't expect it overnight.
One of the things learned in last month's visit to North Dakota was that the fund created there took several years to finally pass the Legislature there. And lawmakers in West Virginia seem certain to consider asking state voters here to approve a constitutional amendment just as the North Dakota Legislature did. As a result, lawmakers there can't access any of the Legacy Fund money until 2017 unless it is approved by two-thirds of the Legislature.
Corky DeMarco, executive director of the West Virginia Oil and Natural Gas Association, was one of the industry representatives making the trip, and he pointed out that North Dakota is producing 820,000 barrels of oil a day and taxing it at 11.5 percent. He said there was no way West Virginia could expect the same kind of money that North Dakota is making.
But Sen. Daniel Hall, D-Wyoming, said he likes the fact that the legislature in North Dakota put the Legacy Fund proposal in the state constitution, which prevents lawmakers there from easily changing the laws governing that fund. This would definitely need to be part of West Virginia's approach as well.
- ? ?
Finally, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and members of his staff had estimated originally that the state might need to provide as much as $1.6 million in resources to make sure the 10-day national Boy Scouts Jamboree at the Summit Bechtel Family Scout Reserve near Beckley was an acknowledged success. The actual cost so far to the state has been only $413,289.77, about $1.2 million less than expected.
There is still an outstanding cost of overtime pay for 36 state police officers from four states, but still, the local contribution figures to be far less than expected. And West Virginia taxpayers can rest easily, because all of the money spent by the state will be reimbursed. Becky Neal, an executive aide to the governor, said last week that all of the costs to the state will be reimbursed by the Boy Scouts, as is the case with any private event.

Toyota $1B+ Acceleration Class Action Settlement is Biggest in Auto History
Jason Mick
December 27, 2012 11:25 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Settlement will cover equipment installation, compensation for lost value
Steve W. Berman
, Managing Partner at Hagens Berman, has achieved a key victory over what is expected to be the world's largest automaker in 2012.
Toyota Motor Comp. (
) on Wednesday filed documents to settle
a major class action lawsuit
organized by Mr. Berman over
unintended acceleration
in a variety of models. The case was being held in
U.S. District Court for the Central District of California
, in Santa Ana, Calif.
Under the
settlement terms
[PDF], Toyota will set aside an estimated $1.2-1.4B USD, making the settlement agreement the biggest in automotive history, according to Mr. Berman's team. The settlement fund will be used to compensate the owners of 3.25m Toyota vehicles for lost resale value. The owners will also be eligible for free installation of a brake-override system.
After a fiery crash of a Lexus (Toyota's luxury brand) killed four in California in 2009, the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) launched a formal investigation into acceleration issues. While
some suspected electrical origins
for the issue,
no such issue was ever replicated
. Ultimately the problems were
blamed on faulty floor mats
, which could entrap pedals on the Toyota vehicles, leaving drivers unable to brake. Millions of vehicles
were recalled
in the company's largest recall ever. Toyota was forced to also
temporarily suspend sales in 2010

Mr. Berman
Toyota's decision to settle the outstanding litigation and move ahead, commenting, "After two years of intense work, including deposing hundreds of engineers, poring over thousands of documents and examining millions of lines of software code, we are pleased that Toyota has agreed to a settlement that was both extraordinarily hard-fought and is exceptionally far-reaching."
Toyota chief North American legal officer -- Christopher P. Reynolds -- sought to take the opportunity to restate Toyota's point that its electronic systems were never proven to have issues, remarking, "This was a difficult decision -- especially since reliable scientific evidence and multiple independent evaluations have confirmed the safety of Toyota's electronic throttle control systems."
3.25 million vehicles are covered by the settlement. [Image Source: AP]
He adds, "[Ultimately] we concluded that turning the page on this legacy legal issue through the positive steps we are taking is in the best interests of the company, our employees, our dealers and, most of all, our customers."
Toyota certainly has enough resources to cover the settlement. The company witnessed a rocky 2011 due to parts shortages from the tsunami and related domestic issues (see: Fukushima nuclear disaster). But this year Toyota is expected to regain the sales crown, which was last year held by General Motors Comp. (
). Toyota is
expected to announce
sales rose 22 percent in 2012 to 9.7m vehicles, despite a Chinese boycott due to a territorial spat, more
government fines
, and more recalls.

Many people are afraid to express strong emotions because they fear losing control or injuring someone else. The first step towards responsible expression of emotions is to own the emotion. This means acknowledging that the emotion is yours - not someone else's. You are the one feeling it.
This exercise can help you to own your emotions and learn how to express them in a safe and healthy way.

Coal In Their Stockings: The 10 Least Influential Celebrities Of 2012
It's the end of the year, and while Barbara Walters is talking about the 10 Most Fascinating People Of 2012 and Time magazine is putting out their annual list of a hundred 'most influential' people (most of whom have names we can't pronounce), we decided to put together our own list of the 10 people we think who have contributed to society in a negative way this year.
We know, we know, the holidays are a time for celebration! But there are those out there who find the time to be depressing and miserable, so we hope this list lifts their spirits and gives them a little laugh; because, judging by what you're about to read, things for them could be much worse.
So who's on Santa's "Naughty List" and should expect a big, fat lump of coal in their stocking on Christmas?
Normally we dont put our lists in any particular order, but these definitely go from least least influential to most least influential....

The Guide to Good Deathcore
In the eyes of some of the members here, this may be a controversial topic, but I really hope to shed some light on the bands worth listening to in this genre. I am not a purist by any means and I don't feel deathcore is ruining metal. Sure, there are plenty of crap bands producing crap albums for dumb fans, but that does not effect the true underground metal scene. That being said, the point is this topic is not to be all preachy about why we should accept this genre. You can like it or hate it and I won't have a problem with you. I just want to share some of the top albums for anyone who is open to listen to them, but doesn't want to have to wade through a swamp of shit to find them.
Chances are, you've heard of a number of these bands at some point, but might not have heard their best material. Or, maybe you never gave them a chance due to the bad reputation of the genre. Honestly, I am not a big fan of all of these bands. I do not intend to only share my favorites. I want to give a variety of bands to choose from, since obviously we all have different tastes.
Before I get started I would like to say metalcore is NOT included in this list. Also,
you are welcome to suggest albums to be added
, but please note that I want this list to only contain one album per a band.
13. Viatrophy -
This album isn't amazing or anything, but it is intense and have decent riffs. The vocals are typical high/low growls. There are breakdowns, but they aren't overly obnoxious. They aren't very good either, though. Despite the faults this is a very solid deathcore album, blending in hints of melodic death metal along the way. Link to song on YouTube:
12. As You Drown -
Despite their terrible name, As You Drown is surprisingly decent. They hail from Sweden, and not surprisingly, they take a good amount of influence from their death metal peers. There is a lot of -core influence on this album, but it is not too overpowering, since the band can actually write good riffs. The vocals are mostly death growls, with an occasional higher scream. Overall, this is a good album, even though there are a lot of generic sounding parts. Link to song on YouTube:
Ruins and Dead Ends
. This is probably the most intense song on the album.
11. Hiroshima Will Burn -
To the Weight of all Things
While Hiroshima Will Burn does include some monotonous breakdowns in their songs, they don't overshadow the real talent of the band. This album is full of technical riffs and quick changes in pace. The drummer does a pretty good job behind his kit, too. While the vocals are nothing special, they work out well. This is a gem in technical deathcore. Link to song on YouTube:
Enigmatic Consumption
10. Burning the Masses -
Offspring of Time
Burning the Masses's (Oh wow, that is a tongue twister, but grammatically correct, I think, since a band in singular.) first EP showed their ability to write technical music and then ruin it with mediocre shit. Their full length album was worse. Then early this year the band announced a new member, Cameron Argon. Many of you may recognize his name (and maybe strongly dislike him), but I believe he is actually a good vocalist. Sure, incredibly low, one-dimensional gutturals can be boring, but he does them better than most brutal death metal vocalists, in my opinion at least. Anyway, this album really shows the band's talent. They've dropped almost all of their -core influences in favor of technical death metal. It is not released yet, but you can check out new songs on their MySpace page,
. And so you know, Cameron left the band shortly after their European tour with Suffocation. He was not intended to be a permanent member.
9. Burning Skies -
This could very well be the most surprising deathcore album I've heard. Burning Skies takes a LOT of influence from grindcore and blends it with some hardcore and death metal sections. The product is different from anything I've come across before. If that makes you curious, listen here:
Rounding Up the Cattle
8. Despised Icon -
The Healing Process
Surely everyone knows this Quebecois deathcore act. Despised Icon went through some lineup changes after their first album. Their female vocalist left the band, so their drummer at the time, Alexandre Erian, stepped up to fill her spot. Now the band was left without a drummer, so they recruited Alex Pelletier. This was likely the best move in their career, as Pelletier is clearly the backbone of the band with his superior drumming. I chose
The Healing Process
to represent this band since I feel the riffs were more technical and well structured than on the two albums after it. If you haven't listened to this album before, here is one of my favorites from it:
Harvesting the Deceased
7. Through the Eyes of the Dead -
I wouldn't doubt that many of you have heard about this album already, so I won't go into much detail. There are breakdowns on it, but they are interesting ones. The riffs are technical and skilled. The band has gone through several vocalists, and I haven't listened to all their material, so I can't say how good Danny is in comparison to the previous ones. Link to song on YouTube:
Perpetual Defilement
6. All Shall Perish -
Awaken the Dreamers
Here is another album you've probably heard already. This is All Shall Perish's third release and definitely their strongest. They've dropped most of the breakdowns and the vocalist has stopped doing pig squeals. Their second album seems to get a lot of praise, but I honestly believe it's shit compared to this one. Check out the title track here:
Awaken the Dreamers
5. Diluvian -
Sorry this is yet another album that hasn't been released. It is due out at the end of summer, but I would like to include it here because from the two new songs on the band's MySpace I can tell it's going to be great. The songs flow very well and the riffs are great. The only problem I has is the pig squeals. While they are very infrequent, I still don't think they're necessary. I don't think they will put too big of a dent in the final product, though. So, check out the songs
4. The Red Shore -
This band has been through some terrible times and I'm glad they stuck together and released this album. After the death of their vocalist and merch guy in December 2007 they decided it would be best to continue as a band. Bassist Jamie Hope filled the place of their former vocalist. About a year later their debut album was released. The album showed a dramatic change in style from their EP.
was much more technical, but retained their general sound. This is among the best of technical deathcore albums. I highly recommend checking it out. The drumming is spectacular and the riffs just keep coming. Here is the first song from the CD:
The Garden of Impurity
3. The Faceless -
If you're a new fan of The Faceless you might not know that their debut album was more of technical deathcore than technical death metal. This album is a highlight in the genre as it contains some incredible songwriting. Although some of the riffs sound generic, overall it is done very well. An interesting note about this album is that four different drummers appeared on it. Even with the flaws, this album stands out as a great debut. Link to song on YouTube:
2. Animosity -
This Bay Area deathcore band is a relentless force that will surely surpass your expectations.
was their last album before breaking up, and I believe it was their best. The songs are generally fast paced and contain interesting technical riffs and sometimes a very cool solo. Although it is a shame they broke up, guitarist Chase Fraser went on to start his own band Son of Aurelius and is currently touring with Decrepit Birth as their live guitarist. Navene Koperwies is now the session/live drummer for Animals as Leaders. Anyway, here is a song from the album:
1. The Red Chord -
Fed Through the Teeth Machine
The Red Chord is yet another well known band. Their early work includes more grind influences than the two recent albums. These ones focus more on technical death metal. While I enjoy all of their releases, I believe the most recent shows the progression of their style best.
Fed Through the Teeth Machine
is the band's best produced album and most diverse in sound. There are fast paced songs full of blasting and double bass, then there are slower melodic-like songs. The lyrics are interesting and each song seems to have a message behind it. If you haven't listened to this band you are missing out. Link to song on YouTube:
I hope some of you found this useful!

Road Safety
Biker Safety
Devon is bringing bikers out of the blind spot!
Motorcycling is as popular as ever whether they are used for recreational, social or commuting purposes. Despite making up such a small percentage of the overall traffic in Devon the increasing numbers of bike sales locally and throughout the UK is clear evidence that biking is back - and with it there is considerable potential for all road users to benefit. These include:
- Bikes take up less road space so can help reduce congestion
- They can run cleaner than other powered modes of transport
- They use less fuel
- They cause less wear and tear on the road surface
- They are cost effective and make powered, independent transport accessible to many who would otherwise need to rely on public transport. The Wheels To Work initiatives in Devon are an excellent example of how bikes can benefit people living in our rural communities.
These benefits mean that Devon County Council is keen to promote the safe and sensible use of motorcycles.
Unfortunately, motorcyclists are among the most serious casualties on our roads. In common with many other UK local authorities Devon is experiencing a disproportionately high number of motorcycle casualties. Motorcyclists represent approximately 1-2% of Devon's traffic but 25% of fatal casualties in the County.
So what is Devon County Council doing to promote improved conditions for bikers?
If biking in Devon is going to be able to realise its potential then the issue of rider safety and casualty numbers must be addressed.
Devon's motorcycle work has been designed to progress locally each of the 4 key motorcycle safety aims outlined in ''Tomorrow's Roads - safer for everyone'' - the Department for Transport's National Road Safety Strategy:
- Working with representatives of interested organisations to look at issues of concern
- Improving training and testing for all learner riders
- Publishing advice for people returning to motorcycling after a break, and people riding as part of their work
- Helping drivers become more aware of how vulnerable motorcyclists are
This work is also working towards the achievement of six objectives for Devon riders:
- Gather further intelligence from motorcyclists regarding their needs, concerns and aspirations as users of Devon's roads
- Raise the profile of rider safety amongst drivers and riders alike
- Research, develop and deliver new training programmes for newly qualified and experienced riders
- Introduce specialist courses for riders recently involved in crashes
- Ensure that highway design and maintenance takes full account of the needs of riders
- Create the right conditions – in educational, engineering and enforcement contexts – for a reduction in rider crashes and casualties.
This is a pro-bike programme - and is based on a fundamental understanding of the environmental, congestion, accessibility and social inclusion benefits to be accrued from this mode of transport -providing that measurable and sustained improvements can be achieved in rider safety.

How health-care reform will save business money
- published_in
- Guest Column
The small-business health-care tax credit helps small businesses and small tax-exempt organizations afford the cost of covering their employees. It's specifically targeted for those businesses with low- and moderate-income workers. Four million small businesses nationwide are eligible for these tax credits, which are meant to encourage small employers to offer health insurance coverage for the first time or maintain the coverage they already have.
A business that employs up to 25 people, pays average annual wages below $50,000, and provides health insurance may qualify for the tax credit of up to 35 percent (up to 25 percent for nonprofits) to offset the cost of insurance. The credit goes up to 50 percent for small business employers (35 percent for non-profits) beginning in 2014.
Beginning in 2014, individuals, families and businesses with fewer than 100 employees can take a new premium tax credit to help them afford health insurance coverage purchased through what will be known as an exchange. Exchanges are meant to lower health-care costs by increasing competition among private insurance plans and giving small businesses the same purchasing power as large corporations; make it easier for consumers to purchase a plan by having comparable options in one place; and offer coverage to more Americans who may not already have it. Colorado's exchange was the first in the country to be created with bipartisan support and the process to get it up and running is already fully underway. Small businesses create 70 percent of new jobs, so lower insurance costs means the small businesses can focus on helping their local economies expand.
Another insurance protection for small employers is the Medical Loss Ratio which requires insurance companies to spend at least 80 percent of small employer premium dollars on medical costs. Small businesses pay 18 percent more than large companies so MLR will help create a level playing field.
Additionally, the Affordable Care Act requires health insurers that want to increase their rates by 10 percent or more to submit their request to, in Colorado's case, the Division of Insurance, in order to determine whether the rates are reasonable. Insurance companies also have to publicly justify unreasonable premium rate increases. These provisions have brought greater transparency, accountability, and, in many cases, lower costs for families and small business owners who struggle to afford coverage. The Affordable Care Act has provided a $4 million grant to Colorado to help Colorado's efforts to enhance the rate review process as well as the consumer education efforts.
Business owners and their covered employees will also benefit from provisions in the Affordable Care Act that prevent insurance companies from taking coverage away from children with pre-existing conditions, offer policy holders preventive benefits like flu shots, cancer screenings, wellness exams often with no cost-sharing, and put an end to lifetime limits on policies.
MIT economist Jonathan Gruber conducted research that demonstrated that without health-care reform, small businesses would pay nearly $2.4 trillion in health-care costs over the next 10 years. His analysis also found that $52.1 billion in small business profits, $834 million in wages and 178,000 small business jobs would be lost by 2018 as a direct result of high health-care costs. The Affordable Care Act is already helping businesses in Colorado and will continue to do so as the law continues to be implemented and more and more individuals and businesses see the benefits of the recent changes firsthand.
Chafee is with Know Your Care Colorado, a nonprofit focused on educating the public about the Affordable Care Act.

Category: Network-Tools/Bandwidth-ToolsBandwidth Controller Standard 1.21 Beta 3Author: Matt Johns
Operation System: Windows 2K/XP/2003License: Trial , 29.95 $ to buySize: 1.8 MBDate: 2007-10-21
Bandwidth Controller descriptionAllows you to filter certain types of network trafficBandwidth Controller has many features to help you stay in charge of your network flow. Below is a list of ways in which it can help you control your traffic.
Each network adapter can be individually controlled. This is useful, for instance, if you wish to limit internet traffic without bothering with internal network traffic.
Data rates can be set anywhere between zero and one gigabyte per second giving precise control over the amount of bandwidth used.
Send and receive data rates can be set independently of each other.
Limit data rates by protocol. This allows you to filter certain types of network traffic. For example, you can limit the bandwidth of TCP traffic without affecting UDP or IPX.
No need for any software to be installed on client machines. They don't even need any extra configuration. Bandwidth Controller works at the driver level on the server machine so that the whole process is transparent to end users.
statistics show the amount of data used for each filter and the current bandwidth. A graphical bandwidth usage history gives a quick overview of the current bandwidth utilization.
Management of filters is centralized in an intuitive management interface. New filters can be configured with a few clicks of the mouse.
Limit traffic from specific IP addresses. Both source and destination addresses can be set.
Traffic can also be controlled for specific ports. This is useful for controlling certain applications while giving others full bandwidth.
For example, you can limit peer to peer file sharing software to 5 kilobytes per second without affecting HTTP or FTP flows.
Bandwidth Controller is one of the smartest solution for bandwidth management, due to the advanced features it offers beside the usual transfer rate limitations: custom settings for one or more IP classes, address groups or MAC addresses .
Its very simple interface makes Bandwidth Controller the best choice on
the market for both advanced and novice users who want to control and monitor their network traffic.
Give applications a boost using traffic prioritization. This feature delivers maximum throughput for time-sensitive network software including games, VoIP and video.
Speed Limiting
Speed limits allow you to cap the transfer rate for high bandwidth applications such as web downloads, peer-to-peer applications and FTP. Because the product operates at layer 3 in the TCP/IP stack, speed limits are protected from users and cannot be altered or exceeded in any way.
Traffic Monitoring
Internet usage is viewed using the built-in traffic monitor. It displays the amount of bandwidth being used, and the protocol, direction, user, port and traffic statistics.

Engineered Killer T-Cell Recognizes HIV-1's Lethal Molecular Disguises
Implications for developing new treatments for AIDS
PHILADELPHIA – Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and colleagues in the United Kingdom have engineered T cells able to recognize HIV-1 strains that have evaded the immune system. The findings of the study, published online in the journal Nature Medicine, have important implications for developing new treatments for HIV, especially for patients with chronic infection who fail to respond to antiretroviral regimens.
When viruses enter the body, they hijack the machinery of host cells to replicate and spread infection. When the body's cells are infected with a virus they expose small parts of the virus on their surface, offering a molecular fingerprint called an epitope for killer T-cells from the immune system to see. This triggers an immune response, eliminating the virus and any cells involved in its production. However, HIV has the ability to mutate quickly, swiftly disguising its fingerprints to allow it to hide from killer T-cells.
Natural T cells recognize their targets through weak molecular interactions mediated by the T cell receptor. Through a clever molecular process, the investigators were able to isolate a group of T cell receptor encoding genes that bind to HIV-1 about 450-fold more strongly.
"Not only could T cells engineered to express the strongly binding T cell receptor see HIV strains that had escaped detection by natural T cells, but the engineered T cells responded in a much more vigorous fashion so that far fewer T cells were required to control infection," says co-senior author James Riley, PhD, Research Associate Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Penn.
What's more, adds first author Angel Varela-Rohena, PhD, who recently completed these studies as part of his PhD dissertation, "With the present availability of potent systems to replicate and deliver high-affinity HIV-1 specific T-cell receptors, billions of these anti-HIV-1 warriors can be generated in two weeks."
"As soon as we saw over a decade ago how quickly the virus can evade the immune system we knew there would never be a conventional vaccine for HIV," explains Professor Andy Sewell from Cardiff University, United Kingdom, co-senior author of the study. "In the face of our engineered assassin cells, the virus will either die or be forced to change its disguises again, weakening itself along the way. We'd prefer the first option but I suspect we'll see the latter."
"We hope to begin clinical trials using the engineered T cells in patients with advanced HIV infection next year, a group for whom many drug regimens have stopped working" says co-author Carl June, MD, Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and Director of Translational Research at the Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute at Penn. "If the therapy in that group proves successful, we will treat patients with early-stage, well-controlled HIV infection. The goal of these studies is to establish whether the engineered killer T cells are safe, and to identify a range of doses of the cells that can be safely administered."
"We have managed to engineer a receptor that is able to detect HIV's key fingerprints and is able to clear HIV infection in the laboratory," says Bent Jakobsen, PhD, co-lead author and Chief Scientific Officer at Adaptimmune Ltd, the United Kingdom-based company which owns the rights to the technology. "If we can translate those results in the clinic, we could at last have a very powerful therapy on our hands."
This study was funded in part by the National Institute of Allergy and Immune Diseases and Wellcome Trust, UK.
The Penn authors have no financial interest or other relationship with Adaptimmune LTD, apart from their scientific collaboration in developing the engineered killer T cell, conducting laboratory experiments and planning human clinical trials.

Minimum Impact Practices
Each year, millions of visitors enjoy Canyon Country. The impact of so much use is threatening the area's biological and cultural resources. You can help protect this fragile and beautiful land by following these five minimum impact practices.
1. Tread lightly when traveling and leave no trace of your camping. Drive and ride only on roads and trails where such travel is allowed; hike only on established trails, on rock, or in washes. Camp at designated sites or, where allowed, at previously used sites. Avoid placing tents on top of vegetation and use a camp stove instead of making a campfire. Unless signs indicate otherwise, leave gates open or closed as you find them.
2. Help keep Canyon Country clean. Pack out your trash and recycle it, clean up after less thoughtful visitors, and dispose of human waste properly.
3, Protect and conserve scarce desert water sources. Camp at least 300 feet from isolated water sources to allow for wildlife access. Where possible, carry your own drinking water. Leave potholes undisturbed and wash well away from pools and springs.
4. Allow space for wildlife. When encountering wildlife, maintain your distance and remain quiet. Teach children not to chase or pick up animals. Keep pets under control.
5. Leave historic sites, Native American rock art ruins and artifacts untouched for the future. Admire rock art from a distance and never touch it. Stay out of ruins, leave artifacts in place, and report violations. Learn more about Archeological Site Etiquette.

Ladies and Gentlemen…would you please rise…
The end of an era…
Simmons/NY Daily News
The "Voice of God" has finally called it a career. Bob Sheppard, 99, announced earlier today that he was finally retiring since he no longer had the stamina needed to return to his job as the PA announcer at Yankee Stadium. Sheppard was last heard "live" at the old Yankee Stadium in 2007.
Health issues have kept Sheppard from returning the last couple of years, and at his age, he finally decided that he'll never be strong enough to resume his duties. Paul Olden, who took over for Sheppard, will continue as the Yankees PA announcer.
Sheppard began his career at Yankee Stadium on April 17, 1951. It's amazing how many great Yankee players have heard their names called by Sheppard. Sheppard's first game was the final opening day game for Yankee great Joe DiMaggio.
I am very thankful that I was able to hear the great voice of Bob Sheppard at many Yankee games over the years. Derek Jeter continues to play a recording of Sheppard's voice at each at-bat, so his voice will continue to resonate throughout the new Yankee Stadium despite never having set foot there.
Bob Sheppard will always be remembered as one of the Yankee Legends. I wish him much happiness and joy in his final years.
Shelley Duncan has joined the rank of ex-Yankees. He refused an assignment to AAA Scranton/Wilkes Barre after being dropped from the Yankees 40-man roster. I would like to see a team give Duncan the opportunity to play at the major league level. He has earned the right with his play and work ethic.
Caffalo/NY Daily News
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

99? God Bless Bob Sheppard! He deserves to retire. I know for Yankee fans it will be the end of an era… And I wonder if Shelley Duncan likes "red" things?😉 I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
Hats off to Bob Sheppard. I wish him well. Thanks! Take care.

"long time fan." Or at least "since 2003 fan." And for a kid who can't be more than like, 11, that's a while.When Jose Veras came in to pitch, he asked me (we bemace friends), "who is that, is that Scott Proctor?" and he was quite excited. I broke it to the poor lad that no, Scott Proctor was traded to the Dodgers back before the trading deadline. The look on this poor kid's face, you'd think I just told him that Santa wasn't real and that I ran over the Easter bunny with my car.Are you related to him? A young man who's a big fan of Soriano?

We have this mental picture of some old man, with a long gray beard, sitting on a throne with a scale in his lap, watching our every move and reading our every thought. When we do or think something noble, right, or good, he places those spiritual trinkets on the right side of his scale. When we do or think something bad, he places those spiritual trinkets on the left hand side of the scale. Our hope is that when we die and have to stand in front of this old man and give an accounting of our lives, the right hand side of the scale will be the heaviest, allowing us to enter heaven on the basis of our goodness.
In just one biblical narrative Jesus obliterates the validity of the preceding paragraph.
Jesus is hanging on the cross and is engaged in conversation by the two men crucified on either side of Him. One thief is ridiculing and mocking Him, the other clearly sees his own just end and says, "We are dying here because we are getting the just punishment for the life we have lived. This man has done nothing wrong. He is innocent!"
When we hear this exchange, it seems to bolster our fill in the blank scenario. Good people go to heaven, bad people don't. Then Jesus exposes our lie for what it is. The thief says, "Jesus, remember me when you enter into your kingdom." Then Jesus answers, "Truly, I tell you, this day you will be with me in paradise."
What! Jesus must be delirious from the crucifixion. This man is not worthy. This man is a wicked man. He is not a good man.
And now the truth of Jesus' crucifixion is exposed. This short conversation from the cross clearly reveals why Jesus was hanging there in the first place. Jesus had been walking the countryside for three years telling the religious people of the day that the prostitutes, tax collectors and the worst riffraff you can imagine, were entering the kingdom of heaven ahead of them. It was this teaching that threw their religion on its head.
Careful, because it may throw your belief system on its head as well. Honestly, what do you believe? How do you fill in that blank? Here are just a few other possibilities that are also wrong. Educated people go to heaven (what a joke). Self-actualized people go to heaven (for the egg heads among us). All religions lead to heaven. All people go to heaven (for the universalists among us). Scripture clearly teaches us, and when we are honest with ourselves we know it's true, "there is none righteous; no, not one."
The answer to our fill in the blank question? Forgiven people go to heaven. That thief on the cross received forgiveness that day and entered into the kingdom of heaven on the same basis that anyone else does. That savior, on that cross, forgiving you.

Pet Feeder
By John
from Colorado Springs, Co
Best Uses
April 2013 -It is a expensive feeder. However, it seems to be fairly solid. In the past I have used La Bistro feeder and had the vinyl spindles break off easily. I like that this feeder uses a 'screw' that can be replaced if it breaks. Biggest dislike is the food level window is small and hard to glance at to see if hopper is empty. I can live with this, but would suggest to manufacturer that the make this window larger.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

From the corner of my eye, I noticed a bright red, plaid shirt, and aforementioned feathered hat walk up to the bar next to me.
The sight was a bit odd in a bar known for its loud rock, metal and punk music.
We nodded at each other, and he proceeded to order a beer.
"I like your hat," I said.
He smiled and nodded, grabbed his beer and leaned on the bar, looking around.
He turned to me and said, "Are you messing with me?"
Having an affection for all types of music, and quickly noticing that he was some sort of musician, this reporter laughed and responded, "No. I really dig your hat."
He replied, "Thanks."
"Are you a musician?"
And he introduced himself as Pake Rossi.
He was a quietly spoken young man, but very quick to talk about his music and his influences and that he was playing a show in Beeville in a couple of weeks.
Lo and behold, he was one of the headliners at the rodeo arena during Saturday night's set for Western Week.
We laughed and talked a while, and afterward we met at his vehicle where he handed me his latest album, 2010's For All it's Worth.
The album's a blend of folk and Texas country filled with broken hearts, booze and love ballads all accented with twangy, rustic guitars and the occasional harmonica or fiddle thrown in for good measure.
Rossi's vocals are rich, and you can hear every pain-filled syllable as if these stories he's singing all really happened.
And, by looking at Rossi, it seems possible.
Though he's a young-looking guy, he has an old man's eyes, filled with stories of lost loves and highways and nearly empty bars with just him and his acoustic guitar.
His songs are rich, and he's one heck of a writer.
Sort of.
Having found out later that he doesn't write down his lyrics to his songs before heading into the studio makes him even more impressive.
Rossi seems poised at the edge of mainstream stardom. His songs are too pure and honest for the rest of the world not to notice.
And he's a great guy, too.
We chatted and cracked jokes for a little over an hour, and, even before I heard a strum of his guitar, he had a fan in me.
So, make sure during Western Week you look for the guy with long hair and brown floppy hat and say hello.
He's sure to appreciate it.
You can request Pake Rossi's music by calling Kicker 106 or find out more about him at www.facebook.com/pake.rossi.9

The assault complaint was brought forward related to an alleged incident that happened during a July 22 meeting of Karnes County Commissioners Court.
A video recording of the meeting shows Karnes County Sheriff's Office Sergeant Mike Cantu and Peace Officer Tito Vidaurri approach Hall during the meeting.
The Karnes Countywide sent an open records request for a copy of the complaint on Aug. 19.
More than two months later, Hancock's office released a copy of the complaint on Nov. 1.
The Karnes Countywide reached out to Karnes County Sheriff Dwayne Villanueva for comment, but Villanueva said any comment regarding the complaint would be more appropriately be made through the county attorney's office.
The incident caused a disruption to the July 22 meeting when two officers approached Hall in what appeared to be an effort to get the man to sign the sign-in sheet.
The complaint, written by attorney Steven Paulsgrove, on behalf of his client, Scott Hall, claimed that Hall was a victim of assault, harassment, ridicule and embarrassment as a result of actions taken by an officer during the July 22 meeting.
Hall was approached by an officer who was not identified in the complaint, and told he could not attend the meeting unless he first signed in, according to the complaint.
The officer then became confrontational and placed his hand on Hall, threatening to escort him outside the building, the complaint continued.
Hancock said some changes had been made in regard to the sign-in sheet, which he said would no longer be required.
Neither of the officers' employment status changed as a result of the allegations, according to Hancock. Both remained on active duty pending the outcome of his investigation.
Hall's wife, Shanna Hall, described the incident as "harassment" during public comments she made at the July 31 Commissioners Court meeting.
"I hope that no citizen goes through being harassed and threatened as happened with my husband at the last public meeting," Hall said.
