Sound: In the mid '70s, Kiss was the band that parents didn't want their kids listening to. Their outrageous costumes, stage performances and songs of promiscuous nature launched a campaign known as "Mothers Against Kiss". This didn't stop Kiss from being the hottest band in the world and heroes to a million kids who wanted to hear something different and not their older brothers Led Zeppelin and Beatles records.
Kiss by the time this double live album was released had released 3 studio albums. It was these three albums that started a cult following. Kiss had not had much radio play at all prior to the release of Alive! and the record companies were starting to lose interest in backing the band. The band decided to do a live album which was a popular form of making records during this time. The deal was this album either did good or Kiss were to find another record label. The album ended up being their first Top 10 album and stayed on the charts for 110 weeks straight eventually selling 4 million copies. // 10
Lyrics: The lyrics are exceptional for the time period in which they were released. Atleast a few of these songs were considered to be based upon "taboo" subjects and caused a stir when kids brought the records back home to their conservative parents. Now they are considered classic rock standards. Songs from an era of rock music that pushed the envelope and helped play a role in the construction of metal music. A concept I always like about bands is when all members sing and write their own signature songs. This album doesn't showcase Ace Frehley or Peter Criss as much as later albums would but Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons share lead vocal duties for the majority of this album. Stanley has the high pitched, stereotypical rock wail and Simmons provides the dark, dare I say "demonic" side of Kiss. // 10
Overall Impression: As mentioned earlier, this was the big break for Kiss. After three studio albums it took a live album to make them stars. Many argue that's why Kiss isn't merited as serious musicians because they were known for their live performance. The music of Kiss should not be dismissed, their brand of rock is a commercially potent mix of anthemic, fist-pounding hard rock driven by sleek hooks and ballads powered by loud guitars, cloying melodies, and sweeping strings. This style would serve as the foundation for many pop-metal bands that dominated the '80s. // 10
Sound: If you really want to know in a nutshell why KISS is "Rock Hall worthy," listen to "Alive!". This is the album that started it all. In 1975, KISS needed a breakthrough. Their albums were not selling, their record label was about to go under, and their concert goers were disappointed with the sound of the studio albums. The only solution? Record a live album. However, live albums were considered death in the industry at the time, so KISS needed the album to sound fantastic. They brought in producer and audio engineer Eddie Kramer (who worked with acts like Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix), and the result is about the best sound possible for 1975. What you hear is KISS at their best, performing high-energy upbeat versions of their original material. The guitars are very loud and overdriven, and Ace Frehley shines the most with his superb soloing, which is why "Alive!" is known as a big influence on guitar players. However, some of the tracks have additional vocal overdubbing and some mistakes fixed in the studio, which draw back from the live feel, but it still captures KISS' real sound nonetheless. // 10
Lyrics: I will admit that KISS' lyrics are nowhere near fantastic, but they at least make sense and they flow well. The subject of women, love, sex, and the rock and roll lifestyle are all prominent, even if covered with figurative language. As with most KISS albums, there is no profanity, even though it is a live album. Also, the vocals sound superb even in the raw live setting. Gene Simmons and Peter Criss make great vocal contributions, but Paul Stanley's voice stands out the most in the band. A small disappointment to me was that Ace Frehley was too afraid to sing lead or backing vocals at the time, so he is the only member whose voice is missing from the album (although he instead lets himself be known through his guitar). // 8
Overall Impression: In my opinion, this is the best KISS album overall, and the best live album I've ever heard. It captures the energy and the raw and unfiltered hard rock sound that made KISS so great in their prime. The most famous song from this album is "Rock and Roll All Nite," which features a memorable improvised guitar solo by Ace Frehley. Some of the other signature songs that come to life in the live setting are "Cold Gin," "Deuce," "She," "Parasite," and "Let Me Go Rock 'N' Roll." This album by far blows away their studio albums, and is only rivaled by its sequel, "Alive II." The standout aspect is that of Ace Frehley's guitar skills, which makes him the star of "Alive!" even though he does not sing any lead vocals on the album. The sound quality is superb and shows the true talent and nature of KISS before other parties began to force the band in the wrong directions. "Alive!" set the bar for other live albums to come, and it is the reason I continue to play the guitar today. // 10

While an Ohio group seeks the passage of a "personhood" amendment, similar efforts in other states have seen varying degrees of success.
Personhood USA, a faith-based anti-abortion group, has been seeking amendments to each state's constitution to essentially outlaw abortion in all instances by expanding the definition of a human being to include conception and development.
In Ohio, the group turned in 2,000 signatures on Oct. 14 to begin the petition drive to put the issue on the November 2012 ballot. If the attorney general's office certifies the validity of at least 1,000 of the signatures and the constitutionality of the wording, Personhood Ohio can begin gathering more than 385,000 signatures to qualify for the ballot.
Colorado voters solidly rejected a similar amendment to their state's constitution last year. Mississippi voters will decide the issue in their state this fall.
"Thirty-eight years after Roe v. Wade, it's clear that legislating abortion does not end abortion," said Dave Daubenmire, one of the leaders of the Ohio movement, referring to the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court case that legalized abortion.
"This is the great moral issue of today in American culture, and most of these moral issues have never been decided by a vote of the people."
Kevin Mason, president of Personhood USA, said he doesn't want to challenge Roe v. Wade — he wants to bypass it altogether.
"It's about changing the culture," Mason said.
Though the amendment failed twice in Colorado, its support increased from 27 percent in 2008 to 30 percent last year, which Mason said indicates an ability to "convert the electorate" gradually toward a more-supportive stance. He also said Colorado is a "test-market state" where the group could experiment with its campaign.
In Mississippi, the group gathered the 130,000 signatures needed to put the issue on the ballot this fall. Both candidates for governor endorsed the amendment, and a challenge by Planned Parenthood and the ACLU was struck down by the state's Supreme Court.
On its website, the group says it has more than 990,000 signatures on petitions across all 50 states. Mason said if the amendment passes in Mississippi, it will embolden the movement in other states.
"We can do this every year until we win. And we will," he said.
Healthy Families Ohio, a new nonprofit corporation that favors abortion rights, is asking Attorney General Mike DeWine to reject the measure on the grounds that it is "vague, confusing and misleading," said spokeswoman Sandy Theis.
"The Ohio Revised Code makes 15,000 references to a person. This has the potential to affect all of them," she said. "Judging from their comments, they clearly don't know what the ramifications are."
Mark Spindelman, a professor of law at Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law, called the personhood amendment "breathtaking" in scope.
"In the state of Ohio, there's an ongoing debate about the best right-to-life strategy," he said. "This is a frontal assault on the Supreme Court decision."
The anti-abortion camp in Ohio has split into several factions, each backing different initiatives. Linda Theis (no relation to Sandy Theis) is president of Ohio ProLife Action, a new group formed to support the so-called heartbeat bill, a measure that has passed the House that would outlaw most abortions after a heartbeat is detectable. She said many "pro-lifers" support the idea of a personhood amendment but see it as a larger leap in the law than the heartbeat bill.
"(Personhood) is a huge increment by comparison," Linda Theis said.
She did say that such an amendment might be an eventuality if the heartbeat bill passes.
Mark Harrington of Created Equal said the heartbeat bill appeals to a broader spectrum of people and that it already has gained some legislative support — though he said every approach should be taken that could help the unborn.
"The heartbeat bill is more feasible to get done now," Harrington said. "The culture hasn't arrived at a place yet where we're ready to pass a personhood amendment, but that doesn't mean it's not worth trying."
Spindelman said support for the amendment might come as "a vote against Roe v. Wade." While he noted that Ohioans have never voted for an amendment like this before, he said the campaign might bring out the same conservative base that approved a constitutional amendment outlawing same-sex marriage in 2004 with 62 percent of the vote.
Sandy Theis said the personhood proposal has much more far-reaching implications than the 2004 bill.
"People in Ohio have never seen anything like this before," she said. "This is the most unbelievably dangerous assault on women's health I have ever seen."
Spindelman said if passed, the personhood amendment would almost certainly face a legal challenge, which eventually could result in a challenge to Roe v. Wade — a prospect the anti-abortion-rights groups welcome.
"Legally, it's all going to be challenged right away," Harrington said. But directly taking on Roe v. Wade by attempting to effectively outlaw all abortions through the personhood amendment would be "the endgame," he said.

Hailing from East London suburb Chingford, indie rock band The Rifles were formed after founding members Joel Stoker and Lucas Crowther first met at their local college. Meeting fellow rock enthusiast and another Chingford resident Rob Lloyd of punk group Betamax, the boys were inspired to start their own group after watching legendary British indie rock group Oasis perform at Knebworth. With bass player Rob Pyne and drummer Grant Marsh added later to the line-up, the Rifles were born and were soon playing a series of gigs on the live music circuit.
Releasing a number of EPs through independent labels, the band soon found success and gained great exposure thanks to single "Local Boy" which received air play on popular Saturday morning football show 'Soccer AM'. More singles followed which all performed consistently well one after the other and each one climbing further up the charts each time. The band soon embarked on a number of tour dates around Europe and one gig at renowned music venue the Forum confirmed them as a household name with the band performing alongside the "Modfather" himself Paul Weller.
Since finding success on the indie music success, The Rifles have seen each of their three albums perform considerably well and received with strong critical appraisal. Most recent album 'Freedom Run' saw the band deliver another solid record that was enjoyed by fans and critics alike.
Consisting of two original members Lucas and Joel - Robert Pyne and Grant Marsh have since departed to make way for band members Lee Burgess and Kenton Shin. On Friday 30th March 2012, the band The Rifles were set to play at the music venue Shepherd's Bush Empire. WinkBall video reporters Alex, Dan and Stefan were down at the venue to speak to fans and find out their reaction to the gig.

Guardians of the Galaxy has seemingly procured its villain. It is being reported by The Wrap that actor, Lee Pace is in final negotiations to be cast as the film's momentarily unnamed villain.
Pace, the former star of cult fave TV series, Pushing Daisies, has recently seen his stock soar after having landed parts in lucrative franchises like The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, and as an oddly angelic-looking elven king (and Legolas' daddy), Thranduil in last year's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey; a part he will reprise in the two follow-up films. However, as an interesting fact, Pace was actually up for the role of Guardians' primary hero, Peter Quill/Star-Lord during the film's crucible of a casting process full of top-level candidates. The part would ultimately go to an underdog in Chris Pratt.
At the moment, the identity of Pace's villainous role is being kept under wraps. It's certainly raising questions, since it was assumed that, based on the post-credits scene in Marvel movieverse connected film, The Avengers, that the Mad Titan, Thanos was set to antagonize this cosmic super-team. (Which also has members with origins directly tied to Thanos, as well.) However, it might be the case that the actor will portray an associate of Thanos, possibly setting up a confrontation with the cosmic head honcho for a later film. (Maybe even with help from The Avengers.) The name of the mind-manipulating menace, The Controller has been rumored in the past as a possible addition to the rogues gallery. It is certainly within the realm of possibility for Pace, who joins Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Michael Rooker, and the recently cast Ophelia Lovibond in Marvel's experimental space epic.
Guardians of the Galaxy will have a villain trying to get our heroes to push daisies of their own when it hits theaters on August 1, 2014.

text: Modern Ways To Increase GMROI - Part 2 Furniture World Magazine Posted: 9/11/2008 By David McMahon Part 2: Old school ways to increase this critical measure are just not enough anymore!By David McMahon Editor's Note: In the last issue of FURNITURE WORLD Magazine, the first part of this series discussed ways to boost GMROI by applying technology to improve business at the point of sale, in purchasing and receiving. Part 2 will conclude this discussion by looking at additional GMROI boosting strategies. Delivery & Pick Up Delivery scheduling should be fast. Typically, operations rely on a delivery clerk or the salespeople to call when they "feel" it is time to call the customer. Or, worse, they wait for the customer to call them. Messages are left and phone tag is played. This is a waste of time for both customer and retailer. The process can be improved by using modern tools to manage the process more effectively. The first tool is to implement automation software to proactively send your manager a list of customers that need to be contacted immediately for scheduling. Don't wait for someone to print your "complete for delivery report" once a week. Have this important info sent without a thought. Take the people factor out of running major reports. Once you have the information, email and call your customers. This is more professional, more convenient, traceable and a huge time saver. In the age of online shopping, Blackberry's, and IPhones, your customers expect this. They feel more comfortable shopping with businesses that are technically "up with the times." Finally, the best retailers use routing systems so that they can fill trucks faster, maximize the number of stops per day, save on fuel, and wage costs, by taking an efficiently set route. Once the route has been established by the manager the data can be uploaded to GPS devices, or maps can be printed. This can result in a 20% delivery cost savings! Customer Follow-up One of the most pressing issues for home furnishings retailers is the customer follow-up process, especially on special order merchandise. Salespeople, on average, have poor follow-up skills. Whether it's bad information, being afraid to call the customer, or just plain old laziness, follow-up rarely gets done professionally. Customers deserve better. They expect it. Online purchasing has raised the expectation bar. Most of your customers are experienced internet shoppers. When they buy anything online, they immediately get an order acknowledgement with an ETA date, a receipt, and a thank you email. When the merchandise is shipped, they get another email so that they know exactly when to expect their order, along with a link to track its progress. Finally, after they receive the product, customer satisfaction surveys are emailed. This is done by the retailer online for a fraction of the cost and time of traditional calls and letters. Guess what? This is the standard of proactive communications you should hold your business to. Proper execution will increase your GMROI by lowering cancellation rates. And – additional sales will be generated via positive word of mouth amongst your customer's peers. If you are a traditional brick and mortar store with a sizable customer direct mail data base, you will need to focus your efforts on adding emails as well. Similar to accessing your database for a direct mail campaign or with special order follow-up letters, you should be able to extract specific customer data to be used for email follow-up. By mapping your data to an online email marketing agency, you can now send special order updates, thank you's and shipping notifications professionally via email. Modern Website Usage When you look at your retail Website, ask two questions: "What do I want my customer to do?" and "What do I need to change to do it?" Most brick and mortar retailers want their customers to contact them or physically come into the store. A Website is meant to drive traffic to the store. To do this, think of your web pages as paths where customers gather information along the way. The paths must be easy to follow, if not... bye-bye. At the end of the path, it is always - you. Here are some components: Easy and complete contact links. An online room planner that can be saved and emailed to your designers. Product by category, sub category, and item; updated fast. Full item detail with all specs including price and warranty information. Real time merchandise availability. Designer profiles. Room ideas: before and after projects. Video of value added in home design process. Contact links for appointment requests – in home or in store. Real time Q&A and product support. Clearance section to help move dogs. Best seller section to highlight what other customers like. New item section to test and track interest before buying commitment. Online newsletter and special promo sign up via email. It's easy to see how utilizing these components can increase GMROI – if you focus on customer contact, you will increase ups and average sale. More gross margin dollars are produced via high turns. Winners are displayed. Dogs are moved faster. New items are tested. Modern Ways to Advertise Only three percent of furniture retail advertising budgets are spent on internet. Ask yourself this: "How much time do you, your family, and friends spend looking at a computer compared to looking at a TV?"; enough said. Email marketing is the modern key to increasing your ROI on advertising. As previously mentioned, you can extract various customer follow-up information. Along with this you can establish traffic building campaigns through monthly value added newsletters and targeted special promotions. It is very important to be professional in your email advertising as you do not want to alienate customers. Unlike direct mail, a customer can simply mark your emails as spam and they will never receive another from you. So, DO IT RIGHT. Use an e-Marketing agency (preferably one specializing in our industry) to act as your portal for distributing content to your customers. Agencies and e-Marketing portals are the easiest and most cost effective ways to send and track campaigns. This is basically how it works: Decide on your traffic building marketing campaign. Some examples: monthly newsletter, next purchase follow-up, past purchase follow-up, private sale, special promo, customer appreciation, clearance sale. Export and query your email database to an excel format. Sign on to the agency's e-Marketing portal and upload the email database. Upload pictures, promotions, or newsletters. (with links to your web site). Upload any text and contact information. Edit prior to sending. Send final product to your customers. Track the results: use the e-Marketing portal to check the results of the email. You can see who opened it, what they liked (clicked on), who forwarded it to a friend and who opted out. Develop targeted campaigns based on the results (for example, by product or zip code). This can all be done for pennies per email and by working with an agency. You do not have to reinvent the wheel or add to your current staffing. Cheaper – Faster – Better – Advertising is traceable and produces greater GMROI. As I am writing this I just received newsletters from Crate and Barrel and FURNITURE WORLD Magazine. I choose to subscribe to these, because they are providing me with great ideas and valuable information. Do this for your customers and you will go ahead of your competition.Today is the time to use the many new tools out there to help your business increase its GMROI.

UPDATE: Several members of the Indiana Tea Party have written to say that they oppose Tony Bennett because of his support for Common Core standards. Jeb Bush supports Common Core, so of course, Tony Bennett supports them. And so do the Jeb Bush "Chiefs for Change." But the Tea Party does not! Read the comments. The Tea Party supports local control.
So, let's say that Tony Bennett's desire to take control of local districts is just a power grab by a far-right politician.
Tony Bennett (not the singer) is State Commissioner of Education in Indiana.
He follows the ALEC/Jeb Bush script in everything he does.
Vouchers, charters, reducing or eliminating standards to become a teacher, for-profit schools, for-profit online "schools."
Whatever ALEC wants, Bennett delivers.
He recently announced that he wants the power to take control of entire school districts, if in his judgement they are failing.
He says he believes in local control. He doesn't.
He believes in power.
He believes in privatization.
Thats part of the ALEC script too.

"I really enjoy working with students and making a difference in their lives," Mohammadian Gray said. "It makes it easy and satisfying to come to work."As the director of the Center for Student Success and Transition, she supports and oversees the transition process for first-year and transfer students alike. At Hamline, we strive for a personal experience. You're not just an ID number, but a person," Mohammadian Gray said. "We pride ourselves on being able to provide that face-to-face time."Another important part of ensuring student success is identifying their unique needs. First-years, for instance, participate in community building and are imparted with important college skills. On the other hand, transfer students often receive more guidance regarding the logistics of an academic shift to Hamline from another institution. One useful tool for student success is the MAP Works program; students take an online survey periodically, which allows staff members to identify and help any issues that may arise during the academic year.A veteran of Hamline, Mohammadian Gray says she's continually impressed by Hamline students. "They're such a hard-working, distinguished, and diverse group," Mohammadian Gray said. "And so many of them are committed to social justice. It's a pleasure working with them."

(This post was written by our contributor Nick McIlwain of 'The Preston and Steve Show' on 93.3 WMMR)
Opening Day has come and gone. The Home Opener has come and gone. The first few games haven't exactly gone the way we'd like, but as everybody says every year when their team gets off to a bad start, "Hey. It's early." Of course, games in April count just as much as games in August in September. And we're still a ways off from Charlie Manuel's favorite time of year, "hitting season". I won't panic any time soon. Instead, I'll focus on the positive. Once again, we have baseball in South Philly.
I was at xFinity Live! (exclamation point mandatory) 3 separate times this weekend. If God were to create a bar that He intended to make money, he would sculpt this place from the remains of deceased pubs, add an obscene amount of televisions, and drop it squarely between Citizens Bank Park, the Wells Fargo Center, and Lincoln Financial Field. On Saturday, I was there twice. The second time I went, from about midnight to closing, there were approximately 5,000 people there. That is not an exaggeration. When I came back for the Phils' Home Opener on Monday, it wasn't QUITE as crowded, but the place was still packed. My friend and co-worker Matt Cord asked, "Where were all these people last year?" A good question. They didn't all fit in McFadden's or watch the game at Chickie's & Pete's. These people left the 'burbs and other parts of Philly to come to this newly crowned central fan location.
The beauty of xFinity Live is that it doesn't even take away business from those other institutions in and around the sports complex. In fact, it adds to them; if one is too crowded, you'll go to the other. If you're tired of the people in one bar, guess what? You now have 8 more to choose from. And if you're a Penguins fan during a Flyers game or a Mets fan during a Phils game, I advise you to keep your opinions to yourself. Root for your team, sure. Enjoy the experience of the bars. Drink. Carry on. Have fun. Enjoy what the newest addition to our fair city has to offer. But if you get loud, they'll toss you out. Trust me.
Anyway, back to baseball. It occurred to me that going to your first game of the season is like hearing a song you love that you haven't heard for a while. You're not quite sure why, but almost unconsciously, it automatically brings a smile to your face. A great song can change your mood and make you happy. Baseball, and especially the pageantry and festivities surrounding Opening Day, can similarly brighten your mood. I had a friggin' flat tire on Monday, but I was still happy because baseball is back.
I'm not one to go around quoting philosophers, because frankly, when it comes to philosophy, I'm a dilettante at best. However, I came across a great piece featuring Oliver Sacks, the famed neurologist, psychologist, and author. When it comes to the brain and music's ability to heal, Sacks says "The philosopher Kant once called music 'the quickening art'." Sacks' point in quoting Kant is that music quickens you; it brings you to life. Sometimes, patients who are in a coma or who live in a near-vegetative state will show signs of life when they listen to music from their past. Putting on a pair of headphones and listening to an iPod literally revitalizes the patient.
I'll assume that by reading what I'm writing for this website, you're just as much of a baseball fan as I am. Therefore, and please let me know if you disagree, baseball can bring you to life just like music does. There's a reason why the phrase "making sweet music" can be applied to the execution of a particularly pretty play in sports.
Next time you hear a song you love, and you find yourself smiling and tapping your fingers, check to see if you experience a similar feeling of joy when attending a Phillies game. By the way, the same philosophy can be applied to a terrible song and a crappy Phillies game, so here's to hoping we hear better songs and see better play. We'll all be much happier.

Baseball really is a buffet for the senses… the contrast of the green grass, the white lines and the infield dirt are pleasantries for the eyes. The smell of grilled hot dogs or sausage can ease your mind-state on your worst days. The touch and feel of a new leather ball brings you to a time when work and life were stress-free. And the sounds… I actually went up and gave the "Programs!" vendor a pound at the game and told him how great it was to hear his voice… the ballpark is full of wonderful sounds. I love baseball for a lot of reasons; the tradition, the competitive spirit, the athletes but opening day is about revitalizing our senses. This post is spot on, Nick. Great job – LET'S GO PHILLIES!
If there was one thing missing at Broad and Pattison, it was more places to drink!

How can I increase my supply??
Sometimes I really wonder if my dd is getting enough to eat. She is almost 4 mo old. For the last feeding of the night she get's where she is pulling on and off the breast, more easily distracted and we end up giving her a bottle w/ mommy's milk so that she can go to sleep.
It feels like she isn't getting enough acts as is still hungry or only goes 2 hours between feedings. Maybe I am getting her cues mixed up with something else. I don't want to give into formula which to me is the "f" word around me. My hubby isn't always that supportive about this since he thinks I am making it harder than need to be.
Any suggestions please would be most appreciated!!

Transmission System Vegetation Management Program
Vegetation Management around wood poles in Transmission Line ROW's in the Walla Walla Region. BPA proposes to clear unwanted vegetation around wood poles and switch platforms. The vegetation clearing around wood poles is for fire protection. Over the last 3 years, BPA has been able to increase reliability and reduce losses due to rangeland fires by applying a soil residual herbicide as a wood pole fire treatment around wood pole structures which provide a 10 to 15 foot vegetation free area at our structure sites.

When you consider its high res graphics, immersive soundtrack and physics based gameplay, it's tempting to view this interstellar action platformer as a thoroughly modern production. In many respects, however, Alientrap's 2D adventure is influenced by the games of yesteryear. This becomes apparent when you locate an extra life, collect a bonus star or dispatch an enemy by leaping onto his head. One zero-g boss battle in particular recalls the side scrolling shooters of the 16-bit era. This isn't to say that concessions haven't been made to modern sensibilities. The check point system is excellent, death is of little consequence and you can access a compass if you're having trouble locating your next objective. The lower difficulty levels will serve you well if you're simply in the mood to experience what the game has to offer.
You commence the game by crash landing on a tree covered world that looks to have been crafted using the digital equivalent of pencils and watercolours. As elegant as they are intricate, the environments are further enhanced by a wonderfully tranquil score and the ambient sounds of the forest. Within an hour or so of landing, you'll stumble upon some truly tragic scenes, most of which are handled with quiet and sombre dignity. You'll be less impressed by the fact that blood splatters onto the screen whenever you approach death. Not only does it obscure your view, but it is sadly at odds with the overall tone of the game. At its best, though, Capsized is tremendously touching.
You'll spend your time locating your fellow astronauts, collecting parts for your stricken starship and destroying the ancient artefacts that are interfering with your instruments. This is generally achieved by bustling from left to right, plugging your enemies full of holes and solving the occasional puzzle. Mechanically speaking, Capsized isn't particularly original, but it does offer up plenty of variety in terms of weapons and equipment. The number one item in your (seemingly bottomless) kitbag is a versatile grappling line that allows you to lift, drag and throw boulders and other large items. On one level, you may use it to clear a blocked tunnel, on another to fling a crate into an enemy. It can be used to swing from one precarious perch to another or to form a makeshift shield, which you'll certainly be grateful for when the arrows begin to fly. You can also look forward to using a jetpack, a gravity gun, a personal shield and more.
After a handful of levels, you'll build up an impressive arsenal, with each gun offering a different rate of fire, degree of damage and area of effect. One of the more interesting weapons, which behaves like a giant aerosol can, is particularly handy for fending off swarms of alien insects. You'll encounter a range of exotic adversaries, including urchin-like cave dwellers and rhino-like speeders. Your principal adversaries are a humanoid race known for their golden masks and deadly aim. These guys will dog you from start to finish. Some enemies seem quite manageable during daylight hours, but become genuinely threatening when you encounter them in the darkness of the caves. Keep an eye out for the plant life too as this is one planet on which the flora can be almost as dangerous as the fauna. There are also a number of entirely passive creatures, which contribute enormously to the game's wistful mood.
Capsized also includes several unlockable challenge stages. While blasting your way through a bot match or dashing madly through the darkness in search of oxygen can't possible match the pathos of the single player campaign, these modes constitute an enjoyable (if repetitive) distraction.
The game isn't without its frustrations. Like many physics based titles (LittleBigPlanet and Trine spring to mind) Capsized sometimes requires you to be a little too precise. The mouse and keyboard controls are reasonably well implemented, but you may be tempted to switch to a controller (which is also supported) during some of the more frantic or finicky sections of the game. Finally, while the code is generally stable, you may encounter the occasional game-breaking glitch. The levels are reasonably short, though, so this shouldn't be a deal breaker if the concept appeals to you.
Capsized invites you to immerse yourself in simple but compelling world. If you're on the hunt for something revolutionary, you may be disappointed, but if story, aesthetics and variety matter to you, this will be a difficult invitation to decline. Why not overlook the occasional rough edge and enjoy playing a game with heart?

Here are two of my favorite bigger pale ales: Dead Guy Ale from Rogue of Oregon, USA and Extra Special Bitter from the Propeller Brewing Company of Halifax. They are both at your local LCBO in Ontario right now. There are probably no other stores in the world where you find both - though I would be very pleased to be corrected. It would be a heck of a store.
- Rogue Dead Guy Ale: One of the older micro-brews still widely available, I try to grab a few of these whenever I see it. At $4.95 CND for a 650 ml bottle, this 6.6% ale is a reasonable handful. Not a hop bomb in any respect, it is a big malty pale that has a bit of a note of mustiness that might make it a stock ale or even a young old...you get that, right? The brewery says:
Gratefully dedicated to the Rogue in each of us. In the early 1990s Dead Guy Ale was created as a private tap sticker to celebrate the Mayan Day of the Dead (November 1st, All Souls Day) for Casa U Betcha in Portland, Oregon. The Dead Guy design proved popular and was incorporated into a bottled product a few years later with Maierbock as the elixir. Strangely, the association with the Grateful Dead is pure coincidence.Isn't it sad how Rogue holds back the information. A maiback! Who knew? The beer pours a loose bubble head which resolved quickly to a white rim over still, dark amber beer. The nose is malty fruit, the mouth autumn apple and orange marmalade. The center of the malt is cherry with a good edge of twiggy herb. BAers vote strongly in favour.
Dead Guy is a German-style Maibock made with Rogue's proprietary "PacMan" ale yeast. It is deep honey in color with a malty aroma, rich hearty flavor and a well balanced finish. Dead Guy is created from Northwest Harrington, Klages, Maier Munich and Carastan malts, along with Perle and Saaz Hops.
- Propeller Extra Special Bitter: This is one of my favorite beers and I have had stashes of it bought in two Maritime provinces, once before in Ontario and carted wherever I happened to be going. At 5%, it is the benchmark ESB for me - enough body to separate it from the pale ales but less hops than anything that seriously thinks it is an IPA. The brewery says:
Rich, full-bodied English-style bitter made from a blend of two-row malts, including pale malt, crystal malt (for body and residual sweetness) and chocolate malt (for its rich flavour and colour). A last small addition of malted wheat helps deliver its pleasing head.That bit of wheat is key, making it in the nature of a Yorkshire bitter. The beer pours a reddish tan lacey foam head over ruby brown ale. The malty nose has some herby hop. The malt fruit profile is plum and prune, hops twiggy making for an interesting heart with almost a note of cigar. A lighter grainy finish makes it moreish. Sort of a lighter Wells Bombardier with a little less caramel raisin. All BAers share the love.

Skip to comments.Justice Department shields Holder from prosecution after contempt vote
Posted on 06/29/2012 12:48:35 PM PDT by ColdOne
The Justice Department moved Friday to shield Attorney General Eric Holder from prosecution after the House voted to hold him in contempt of Congress.
The contempt vote technically opens the door for the House to call on the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia to bring the case against Holder before a grand jury. But because U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen works for Holder and because President Obama has already asserted executive privilege over the documents in question, it was expected Holder's Justice Department would not take that step.
Deputy Attorney General James Cole confirmed in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner that the department in fact would not pursue prosecution. The attorney general's withholding of documents pertaining to Operation Fast and Furious, he wrote, "does not constitute a crime."
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Arrest the SOB, you have the power. Subpeona him up and spring the clinks on him when he gets there. No jail you say, then take him over the DC Jail where he will be with his people.
Good Lord what are these people hiding? Obama is refusing to inforce laws. What is happening to our country?
Ain't nuthin' gonna happen.
"The Justice Department moved Friday to shield Attorney General Eric Holder from prosecution after the House voted to hold him in contempt of Congress."
If he did NOTHING WRONG, then why the hell would you need to???
The DOJ is an enemy of the US Constitution and Congress.
If Congress had one testicle-equivalent between all of them,
they would realize they CREATED the DOJ and the Courts,
and arrest Holder and defund the DOJ until the terrorists,
aliens, murderers, and criminals which comprise
the DOJ are removed.
Wimbledon in Washington.
The Republicans don't have the balls to do it.
He must be guilty if he has to hide from the truth.
Mr. Fox, we demand you investigate who is stealing the chickens.
Patriots fell asleep and let the libtard commies take over.
There must be capital crimes being covered-up, leading all the way to the White Hut.
Does the AG take any kind of oath on being sworn in? One would think so.And one would think that that oath would contain a promise to enforce the nation's laws fairly,evenly and universally.And if US Attorneys also take an oath one would think a similar promise would be included in it.
And one would think that that oath would contain a promise to enforce the nations laws fairly,
One would think that of an honorable person - we are not dealing with honorable people. We are dealing with the scum of the earth, the whole administration of them. Where did they find all the rocks they crawled out of, I don't know but they have not one shred of decency or honor among them - just greed and power.
Huh. Imagine that. You can knock me over with a feather.
I sure thought the federal DOJ prosecutors would take this just as serious as they did the black panthers intimidating voters at the polls, or as serious as they do stopping the invasion of illegal aliens.
I'm shocked.
I see the contempt charge is really forcing his hand.. good thing they spent the political capital on a useless resolution that will go nowhere until after Holder gets a pardon from Obama..
Eric Holder was appointed to to make sure the democrats and Obama could pollute the voting system just long enough to secure a second term which is when the mischief begins.
Yup, every last one of them. No decent person with integrity would ever work for this administration, and if they did, not for very long.
Well, well, well...what do we have here?
The Republicans are actually going to either "shit or get off the pot".....something they are totally unused to.
They have made a great show of "huff and puff" but they ain't showing no stuff...like always.
Just watch; when faced with enforcing the laws of Congress and the full ability to do so, they become so horrified of being racists that nothing more is going to happen other than making a lot of noise.
This was the point I was waiting for......ACTUAL ACTION!
Ain't gonna happen folks. The party is over and the Republicans pried defeat from the jaws of victory by using compromise once again.
Likely that it was all planned from the top. One intriguing, and devious, conspiracy theory has it that the goal of F&F was not another Assault Weapon ban, primarily, but instead was the destabilization and encouragement of civil war in Mexico which would in turn allow for all illegal Mexicans in the US to be declared refugees and thereby getting around the political taint of another actual amnesty. (That it could have generated another AWB in that case would have been a secondary benefit.)
Obama is refusing to enforce laws. What is happening to our country?
Simply put, if the laws were enforced as written a lot of public official would be in prison. This very much includes judges.
What you are seeing, especially with the Obamacare ruling, is that things are now decided to be legit by the very Powers That Be after the fact. That is, now what was illegal can be declared legal, and legal declared illegal at whim.
IOW, "The law is what we say it is!"
Holder may have something on Obama.
The ultimate decision on whether to prosecute will be made by the individual President Romney appoints as Attorney General.
And don't drop the investigation when these crooks are voted out of office in November.
Does Congress take an oath of office? They passed a law that was unconstitutional.
A portable "cell" is available from a number of sources ~ just rent one.
And if Holder won't come over invite Cole for a visit!
Are you sure about that?
Nothing unusual about this refusal to prosecute, it's SOP.
That's why contempt votes lead to civil trials.
The Senate is not likely to work with them on the matter. On the other hand there's nothing stopping the House from detaining Senators who stray into the House side of the Capitol building. After they get enough of them hogtied and sitting around awaiting their turn at the one portapotty in the portable cell, the remaining Senators will be much more willing to boldly go where no Senate has gone before.
I'm afraid you are right.
A strongly worded letter is about all they have the courage to muster up.
Issa on Hannity's radio show now...he's not taking any shit from Holder/Obama!!!
Yet more proof ladies & gentlemen that the DoJ is dirty from the AG down to the newest recruit class is dirty & in need of a housecleaning that will make one of Joseph Stalin's legendary purges look like a bunch of Sunday school kindergartners singing Jesus Loves Me.
Anyone having dealings with Federal leo's you have been warned when dealing with Fed leo's you are more than likely dealing with a dirty cop.
Lock him up in the cell they wanted to put Roger Clemens in. Or is lying to Congress only a BFD (as Biden would say) when it is about possible steroid use in a private sports franchise?
The same with Justice Roberts running away to Malta.
The Republicans should just cut their funding off and have the Rep Senators stop all judicial appointments until they either cooperate or turn over the documents. Play hardball!If they don't whats to stop any AG from even testifying before congress.
No surprise here. What did you expect to happen from the offices Holder runs?
Why just yesterday the Congressional Black Caucus called this a racial witch hunt and half of the white Democrats walked out with them. Pretty much says that Nancy , Steny and others are in on the charade.Democrats are owned by the racial black vote, and Republicans are frightened by it.
Between Racists and Homosexuals the Congress is deaf to the needs of any other Americans.
So what is Issa's next move? Does he have the actual wiretaps?
Will NOT prosecute. Awesome. Absolutely no surprise, but confirms to everyone that the Obama Administration is NOT the MOST TRANSPARENT. We have one wing of the Legislative Branch that is against the American People, we have an Executive Branch that is LAWLESS and we now have a Judicial Branch that will not buffer us from Unconstitutional Law. A scary time to be an American, but today, I am FIRED UP!!
Issa said (on Greta VonSustren's show yesterday) that this was anticipated for the Criminal Contempt citation. That is why a similar Civil Contempt citation was voted on right after the Criminal one was.
Now this goes to the DC Courts, where Holder and the DOJ do not have authority.
And the House always has the option to arrest Holder directly, but this hasn't been done in 80 years, there is no longer a Congressional jail and a stand-off between the House Sgt-at-arms and the FBI wouldn't be pretty.
WE need to demand that Holder RESIGN!!
Didn't expect this Administration's DOJ to do anything. What is the statute of limitations on contempt of Congress?
Actions of a third world dictatorship.
Over the next 8 days he will begin seeking private council to move ahead with the filing of a civil lawsuit against Holder. If Obama/Holder don't turn over the docs prior to that then the lawsuit will be filed in DC.
He said specifically that Obama/Holder are going to try to get by the election using Executive Privelege just as Nixon did in 1972. And he is confident the court will be accomodating in scheduling dates to get this thing rolling as it involves 2 branches of government. So this will not go away quietly until after the election...
"..Good Lord what are these people hiding?.."
involvement with not just Holder, but up to the Oval Office.IMO
:: so, they become so horrified of being racists ::
My ObamuZombie SIL used to call me a racist for being critical of her fuhrer until I once responded:
I don't like turds either but not because they are brown.

U-Learning Within a Context-Aware Multiagent Environment
New technological developments have made it possible to interact with computer systems and applications anywhere and anytime. It is vital that these applications are able to adapt to the user, as a person, and to its current situation, whatever that is. Therefore, the premises for evolution towards a learning society and a knowledge economy are present. Hence, there is a stringent demand for new learner-centred frameworks that allow active participation of learners in knowledge creation within communities, organizations, territories and society, at large. This paper presents the multi-agent architecture of the context-aware system and the learning scenarios within ubiquitous learning environments that the system provides support for.

I view them both like this
OBAMA CAUSE HE BLACK IM BLACK HE LIKE BASKETBALL I LIKE BASKETBALL HE LIKES CLEVER COME BACKS I LIKE CLEVER COMEBACKS..i relate to him true say
I am voting for Obama for a number of reasions one of the simpler ones being is Mitt Romney does not stick to his story sense he came into office.By that I mean Mitt constantly changes his policy's it seems like he does this to get more votes, not to mention Mitt wants to illigalize gay marriage in ALL of America which is just so wrong in so many way's.
Voting for...
they both suck , not worth it

:sy: thats a dumb reason
Why do you not like Mitt Romney. (I don't like him either.)

No anyone WITHOUT a brain would vote for him think about it he made us all these promises last election that he would help the economy but instead everyone is, especially the lower class, are going deeper in debt. Also I hate the media when it comes to politics I would not trust anything that they say without thorough research they say all these things to make you think that there is such a heated close call between the two and that it goes back and forth on who is in the lead that is is a load of lies they are just trying to keep things heated half the things by the way that they bring up in these commercials that r attacking a candidate r also something that may have happened years ago
No after saying that back to Obama if he hasn't done anything by now what makes you think he will do anything now knowing that after that term he can't run again I don't think he will be as motivated as if he acted very motivated to begin with to do a whole lot more
Also the way Biden acted towards Ryan in the vice presidential campaign was very immature he literally looked like a preschooler with all the laughing and the whole pft he did when Ryan said something that was directed towards his side to me he looked like Ryan was speaking the truth against Biden and Obama and was getting fidgety and nervous because the truth was leaking out and he was trying to cover it up i detest Biden also mostly because he was being very rude and childish & I certainly do not want someone who would not take his position seriously Ryan however when Biden was talking wasn't laughing pointing fingers and mouthing can u believe that load ... As Biden did no he didn't he was polite and let him make his comment without any snide "behind his back" kind of comments

Amen that's not a reason to vote I'm white but 98% of my friends are black so im not racist at all plus i teach a bible class in my congregation where most of the members (99.5%) are black but I WILL NOT vote for someone who is for homosexuality which is AGAINST God's word and Abortion which is murder (also against God's word) I don't care if you didn't want to become pregnant but at least give it a chance to live and set it up for adoption the baby has a heart beat and killing an innocent little baby is horrible I have already voted for Ryan and Romney vote for Romney and out with Obama

Edit it was not mitt Romney that didn't stick to his story it was Obama seriously people the media is making you into dust in the wind to where anything they say changes your view its stupid do your research first then vote plus how do they know how drastically the polls have changed like 3-4 months ago when no one had even voted yet the answer they don't its a show to get u fired up and to get u to become unsure expecially the commercials do this
I dare a Mitt Romney supporter to explain why they are voting for Romney without using the word "Obama."
I'm for Obama.
Reasons? Gay rights, although he may be doing it as a media thing. I'm really a big supporter for equality, plus he seems to be thinking about the future of coal. I'm in WV and everyone hates him pretty much because of coal issues. I'm like the 10% who believes that safe/clean coal is awesome and coal is running out, so we need to embrace change. I also support pro choice abortion. What I'm saying is, I agree with Obama more on things.

This is a list of skill points in Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus.
Skill points
Drop Zone
It could be achieved by using a Grav-Tether to transport an enemy over a gap, and then deactivating it to let them fall to their doom.
Party Crasher
It could be achieved by destroying all of the tables, chairs, and pots in the first area on planet Yerek.
Guide: This skill point is fairly easy to obtain, just check the left and right sides of the fairly linear path for tables and chairs. You only need to destroy the objects up until the area where you receive the Grav-Tether.
Droppin' Dropships
It could be achieved by destroying any Dropship on planet Yerek.
Keep on Moving
Assassin of Leisure
Voltanoid Ninja
It involves killing a standard Voltanoid, or the Blazebot, with nothing but the OmniWrench.
Eye for an Eye
It involves defeating Mr. Eye with only Nether based weapons, which include the Netherbeast and the Netherblades.
The skill point is based on an old legal principle in which a criminal is punished the same way the victim of the criminal was treated, sometimes in a literal sense (such as having one's arm cut off after cutting another person's arm). In the Eye for an Eye skill point, Ratchet retaliates against the Mr. Eye's Nether attacks by striking Mr. Eye with Nether-based attacks (Nether based guns, like the Nether Blades and the Netherbeast).

Yesterday we released our first ever Infatuation Guide To Football Season, a 40+ page playbook on all the best places to watch the NFL andeat good food in NYC, including your couch. In conjunction with the guide, we'll be rolling out football related content all season long, starting today as we take a look at some of the best bar EEEEEATS in NYC, at establishments that are serious about their football. You need to eat all of these things, and then you need to hire a trainer.
Photos By Ryan Muir and Ashley Sears
Wogies: Chicken Cheesesteak
Some of the best cheesesteaks outside of Philly, and yes that includes one made with chicken. It's tasty and you want it. Trust us.
Waterfront Ale House: Venison Chili Nachos
Yes, that's deer onyour nachos, and yes, you just ordered deer nachos at a divey bar near the Midtown Tunnel. And guess what? Those deer nachos are absolutely delicious. Get into it, and be proud of yourself for living life to the damn fullest.
Stone St. Tavern: Hangover Burger
The first hangover burger to ever successfully cure an Infatuation writer's hangover. Loaded with all the good things in the world and cooked perfectly.
Pork Slope: Broken Chili Chicken Wings
They're juicy, crunchy, sweet,spicy and glorious all at once. The best Asian-inspired take on an American Classic we've ever had.
Croxley's Ale House: Irish Tots
Sometimes when you put all the things you love in one place, like your family at the Thanksgiving table with lots of food and wine, sh*t hits the fan. But Croxley's combination of tater tots, cheese, bacon and scallions is pretty much all we need to be happy in life.
John Brown's Smokehouse: Burnt Ends
Everything onthe menu at John Brown is good and true to Kansas form. But for optimal thrill, check out the burnt ends, assuming they aren't sold out of them, which happens often. In that case, eat the beef brisket, pulled pork, and always get a side of cornbread.
The Jeffrey: Red Beet Deviled Eggs
Bright red, a little bit earthy, and pretty damn tasty. Certainly better than the one's your mom makes, even though your mom is awesome.
Houston Hall: Milk Truck Grilled Cheese
Any grilled cheese from Milk Truck isguaranteed to satisfy, especially when eaten with a gigantic glass mug of beer. On game day, we recommend the Bacon Cheddar Blue or the Milk Truck Classic.
Reservoir: Buffalo Burger
Order the off the menu "Buffalo Burger." It's not made with real buffalo, but it's one tasty burger. Also, the waffle fries are the business at Reservoir, as are the wings. This place does classic bar food very well.
Blind Pig: Tater Tots
Get them pure, or order them doused in wing sauce.Either way, you'll enjoy them.
Blondie's: Wings
Blondie's wings are always in the discussion when it comes to the best in NYC. These simple, buffalo-style wings get the job done right. Are the they best in New York? You decide.
Mulholland's: Sirloin Burger with Special Sauce
It's big, it's served on a potato roll and comes with a gnarly house special sauce. What's in it? Nobody knows. NOBODY.

text: Review: Data Modeling 101 2. May 2011 DNB Data Sources, Review (156) I just recently read "Data Modeling 101"by Scott W. Ambler where he gave an overview of fundamental data modeling skills. I think this article was excellent for anyone who was just starting to learn or refresh their skills in regards to the modeling of data. Scott defines data modeling as the act of exploring data oriented structures. He goes on to explain about how data models are actually used by defining three different types of models. Types of Data Models Conceptual Data Model Logical Data Model (LDMs) Physical Data Model(PDMs) He further expands on modeling by exploring common data modeling notations because there are no industry standards for the practice of data modeling. Scott then defines how to actually model data by expanding on entities, attributes, identities, and relationships which are the basic building blocks of data models. In addition he discusses the value of normalization for redundancy and demoralization for performance. Finally, he discuss ways in which Developers and DBAs can become better data modelers through the use of practice, and seeking guidance from more experienced data modelers.
