A study in the most recent issue of the Diseases of Esophagus examines patterns of operative mortality following esophagectomy.
Esophagectomy has one of the highest mortality rates among all surgical procedures.
Dr Schieman and colleagues from Minnesota, USA investigated the type and frequency of complications associated with perioperative mortality after esophagectomy.
The researchers performed a retrospective review of all perioperative deaths following esophagectomy for esophageal cancer at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester from 1993 through 2009.
Of 1522 esophagectomies, perioperative mortality occurred in 3%.
The team observed that the majority who died were male, and the median age was 72 years.
The median age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity score was 6.
The researchers found that 51% underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
The type of esophagectomy was transthoracic in 60%, transhiatal in 18%, tri-incisional in 16%, left thoracoabdominal in 2%, and transabdominal in 2%.
A mean of 3 major complications occurred prior to death, with the most common being pulmonary complications occurring, and anastomotic complications.
The primary underlying cause of death was pulmonary complications and anastomotic complications in 40% each, respectively, abdominal sepsis in 7%, fatal hemorrhage in 7%, and pulmonary embolism, stroke and multisystem organ failure in 1 each, respectively.
The team found that patients died a median of 19 days following esophagectomy.
Dr Schieman's team commented, "Most patients who died following esophagectomy experienced multiple serious complications rather than a single causative event."
"Major pulmonary and anastomotic complications were implicated in the vast majority of perioperative mortality, and should remain the focus of efforts to improve clinical outcomes."

The objective of this study was to examine the prevalence and characteristics of adult psychotropic medication use in São Paulo, Brazil. Information on lifetime and 12-month psychotropic medication use, and psychiatric status was obtained from a representative sample of 2000 adults aged 18–65 years in São Paulo, Brazil. Lifetime and 12-month use of psychotropic medications was 16.8 and 7.1%, respectively. Of the 22.8% of patients with current psychiatric problems, 29.5% reported lifetime use and 15.8% (5.6% of the sample) reported 12-month use (anxiolytics: 2.7%, antidepressants: 1.8%, alternative medicines: 0.9%, antipsychotics: 0.4%, mood stabilizers: 0.4%, hypnotics: 0.3%; multiple class use occurred). The most frequent prescribers were psychiatrists and general practitioners. Determinants of use included identification as a psychiatric case (four-fold increased odds), being female (three-fold increase), age (4–5% per additional year), and lower odds if married. Education, employment status, and birth in São Paulo were not associated with use. Income did not affect anxiolytic use, but antidepressant and alternative medicine use was associated with higher income. These results show that psychotropic drug use was comparatively low. Only 15.8% of patients with psychiatric problems reported recent psychotropic use. Comparable with other studies, use was greater among women and increased with age.

No trip to the Hudson Valley would be complete without visiting the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site. This mansion was established as a monument to an era, rather than a tribute to any one person or family. At that time, it was the first home in the town of Hyde Park to have electricity which was generated by a hydroelectric power plant located on a creek that runs through the property. The estate illustrates a way of life modeled on the English country house and boasts centuries old tree plantings, stunning Hudson River and Catskill Mountain views and Italian Gardens maintained by volunteers…it remains today a place to understand "lifestyles of the rich and famous from its time.

Sound: This pickup sounds great, and has the mid range boost I have been looking for. I put this pickup in my Ibanez S2170FB which I am running through a Peaxey JSX with a Marshall 1960A cab. I had been having some problems with a shrill muddy tone that I now attribute to the 500T that used to be in my bridge position. My tone is now much more balanced and much clearer.
This pickup sounds phenomenal for leads, but lacks somewhat in the rhythm department and it is just not punchy enough for the good ol' chugging rhythms. I have heard that people say that it will pickup every little mistake, but I have not found this to be true, at least compared to the 500T. I have also heard that this pickup is REALLY hot, but it is not, at least compared to the 500T. Going along with this I have heard that is is an exceptionally loud pickup, also something I did not notice.
I also hear that a pickup swap will not affect your tone all that much, which I disagree with as this change improved my tone a great deal. // 10
Reliability & Durability: Will this pickup last? It is a high quality pickup, and I have never heard of a pickup breaking, so I am not too worried although it is made of plastic and does not look to sturdy. If something did happen to it however, I would not hesitate to replace it as it is worth every penny of the $85 I payed for it. // 10
Overall Impression: I love the great tone balance it has with a lot of mid range along with just enough bass and not too much treble. I think it suites lead playing great, so if you are looking for a good rhythm pickup, this is not for you. It is also a very modern tone, so do not expect to be able to get any classic rock out of it, although it does have a surprisingly good clean tone, which would be more suitable for jazz. // 10
Price paid: $ 45
Purchased from: Craigslist
Sound: Upgraded from the V8 in my RGA121. Regular spacing in this non trem guitar, but the Evo I got was F-spaced. No big deal. This is installed in a Ibanez RG121 Mahogany body with a fixed bridge. Current "practice" setup consists of a PODXT running thru a Vox Lil Nighttrain head and cab. I play mostly metal-type stuff.
First thing I noticed is how I completely disagree with most of the other reviewers in saying that the rhythm sound is lacking. If you're looking for that "bland" EMG crunch, then maybe... But if you play more than power chords, the notes on the low strings ring out beautifully. I had to crank up the noise gate a little because it had a little more noise than the V8.
I play a lot of 7th/Augs/Diminished type power chords (with distortion) with 3 or 4 strings, and they ring out and you can hear the individual notes. No mud here. The clean sound is a HUGE improvement to the stock V8's. I don't get any noticeable break-up. I'm not playing jazz here, so it will do for anything clean I might play. Lead tones are tight and ring clearly. Fast picking is even and the pickup responds well to pick attack. I was afraid these might be too Mid-rangy, but they aren't. I also don't think they're too high end either. Seems like a very well balanced tone. Again, this is in a Mahogany body, so it might sound different in a RG made w/ Basswood. // 9
Reliability & Durability: DiMarzio... USA... Yeah, it'll be fine. I've had a DiMarzio PAF in another guitar for 12 years, and it's still going. These guys have a great website and customer service. There's no real way you can screw this thing up; it's solid. Melted my other DiMarzio with a soldering iron and it still works fine. // 10
Overall Impression: If you want a high, evenly eq'd output and you don't need to have a bottom end like Meshuggah, this is the DiMarzio for you. If you play rhythm guitar that consists of more than Metalcore "breakdowns" and open e chugging, you'll be impressed with it's ability to sound out the different notes in the chords. // 9

Sound: I use the evolution on my Ibanez rg 1570, running through a Blackstar ht 5 combo. It replaces the stock Ibanez v7 v8. I also have a les paul copy with duncan jb.
The output level, I'd say about 40% higher than the Ibanez v. I used to put my clean channel on 1 o clock before it start breaking up, with the evo, 9 o clock it already break up. With the Ibanez v I was considering to buy a boost pedal for the overdrive, but with the evo I can get enough gain from the od channel. Compared to the jb, the evo has slightly more output.
The tone. The evo is a very noticeable upgrade over the stock pickups. With the stock i always battle grainy fuzzy treble, I used to set my amp carefully to make it not sound bad. The evo totally fix this. While some people describe evo as ice picky, its not because theres painful amount of treble, but because theres so much edge to the mid, that the pick attack become very noticeable. This also why DiMarzio sez this pickup will reveal your chops (or lack thereof). I find this very useful when doing fast picking, very tight sound, it can make your picking sound like machine gun. The tone is quite balanced, with extra hump in the mids and high mids.
The lead sound is the best part of this pickup, very good sustain, and lots of overtone when you sustain a note. I feel the sound is very suitable for instrumental rock/fusion.
The sound also get fatter as you add more gain, less highs, more mids.
Now the drawbacks : this pickup wont clean up well, the point it become clean enough (still hairy crunchy clean) it also become thin sounding.
This pickup wont give you traditional Paf sound, it sounds too 'pushed'.
The super precise pick attack is fun to play, but sometime it makes my ear "tired"
Due to the tight bass, rhytm chugging may become dry.
This pickup is almost perfect for my music style, I'd give it a 9. // 9
Reliability & Durability: I hve to say the build is not as sturdy as Seymour Duncan with its metal construction, but I think this wont break up unless I throw it to a wall, or drop it from a two story building. A seymour duncan, perhaps can survive a throw to the wall or two. // 8
Overall Impression: I love its precise and powerful pick attack, also its sustain and harmonics (not pinch harmonics, but overtones/singing quality). I wish it clean up better.
Installed it on a Ibanez rg 1570, basswood body, rosewood board, 5 pc maple neck, edge pro tremolo. Bridge position, with the matching dp 158 for the neck.
Sorry for my bad english...! // 9
Purchased from: Victor Litz Music
Sound: I have it in 4 guitars: a 1997 Jackson PS-4 (both neck & bridge), 1996 Jackson JDR Dinky Reverse (bridge), 1984 Randy Rhoads/Jackson and 1985 Kramer American Series. All with Floyd Roses. On the PS-4: Rosewood fretboard/maple neck, Alder body, Evo in the neck, in the middle Fast Track 2 (17.6k ohms), the Evo at the bridge (13.84k ohms), 250k ohm volume pot, a 500k ohm tone pot with a 22mf cap. This guitar is very heavy handed, the pickups made this a very good thrash guitar, scoop out the mids, classic "Master of Puppets"/"...And Justice for All"/Kirk Hammett sledge hammer slamming tone. The lead tone has good highs, huge mids and huge bass kick. Brutal impact when playing rhythm, very thumpy, with out getting muddy. My JDR Dinky Reverse: Rosewood fretboard/maple neck, Basswood body, Bill Lawrence L-250 in the neck (13.06k ohms), DiMarzio Fast Track 2 (17.6k ohms)in the middle, DiMarzio Evo at the bridge (13.84k ohms), 500k ohm volume pot, 500k ohms tone pot with a 22mf cap. On this guitar the Evo reminds me of the tones Steve Vai had on the "Eat'em and Smile" CD with David Lee Roth. The Harmonics on the guitar just jump out and in the #4 slot, on 5 way switch, the rhythm is still big. Lead wise, very Satch/Vai sounding, very articulate. On the Kramer: Maple fretboard/maple neck, Ash wood body, Bill Lawrence L-250 (13.02k ohms), GFS "Lil" Killer (15k ohms), an Evo at the bridge (13.84k ohms), 500k ohms volume pot, 500k ohms tone pot with a 22mf cap. This guitar has very hard hitting 1980's metal sound. I put the Evo in because the DiMarzio X2N was too trebly and the Evo solved the problem. On the Randy Rhoads/Jackson: Ebony fretboard/maple neck, Evo on the neck (13.03k ohms), Evo (13.84k ohms) in the middle and a GFS Hex pole piece pickup (16.87k ohms) in the bridge, with 500k ohms concentric (stacked pots), 5-way/Fender style pickup selector switch with a 22mf caps. I have splitting switches to make the middle/neck sound single coil and man, they sound great on my 12-string simulator(very convincing) and when I'm putting them through heavy Distortion/Overdrive... the guitar is pure evil! // 10
Reliability & Durability: I like the way the pickups have a different impact on the guitars of various woods, types of pots and caps... All major factors in determining the sound of an electric guitar. I use stainless steel picks and sometimes staccato/Yngwie around and these pickups are very well made and some of my first Evo's were bought in 1997... Still hanging in there from the steel picks.My older one from 1997, still don't need to be repotted with wax, no microphonic squeals, those pickups have aged well over the years, the tone has mellowed out a little in the bass department, now it's more defined/clearer. // 10
Overall Impression: With these pickups, I play metal, thrash, speed metal and 1980's metal. My older Evo's sound a lot like my Carvin M22SD pickup (my new favorite pickup) in the way they react to the other materials in the guitar, playing dynamics, effects and amp tones. I've been playing for 36 years and the Evo is a classic pickup to get, especially if you like Metal or Shred guitar. The pickup in the neck position cleans up nice, but the bridge is designed to make unborn children limp and is a little harder to clean up with a volume knob. Even though the Carvin M22SD has replaced the Evo as my favorite bridge pickup, the Evo is still a great pickup. // 10
Price paid: $ 47
Sound: I have installed this pup in my Ibanez AX120 (a rather Gibson SG like guitar) it added a lot more output than the stock AH2 which is more akin to a classic humbucker.
While the DP159 wont give you the output of an active pup or other high output pups, it is ballsy enough to call it a high output pickup though on the low side of the spectrum.
My signal chain goes guitar > UP100 Phase Shifter > Boss Metal Zone > DOD 7band EQ > Zoom 1010 > solid state Acoustic bass head and cab (yes it is a weird setup but sounds amazing)
The pickup cuts through even the heaviest of electronic processing. The tonality of the pup makes it cut through anything. Live or in the studio the bright upper mid boost will make sure you are on top of any mix. Some people think the tight bass response of the Evolution limits its value for heavy chugging rhythms but I have had no issues with that. I like the tight bass sound.
This amazing pickup can produce the most lyrical overtones and feedback I have ever played, it has made my guitar so responsive to my playing that I have to really be on top of my game when soloing as it will amplify sloppy technique just as much as it will amplify good technique.
I would say this is one of the best and most unique sounding pups I have ever used. One important note, if you are looking for a PAF tone do not get this guy it will disappointing you.. Go for a PAF Pro or the like if you want the classic humbucker sound. // 9
Reliability & Durability: I am pretty sure it will last... I mean come on have you seen the S&M routine Steve Via puts his Jems through. // 10
Overall Impression: This pickup is now my favorite in the bridge position. I will be installing these on all future guitars. It fits my sound and playing style to a T. // 10

Sound: I have been playing a very long time, going through various amplifiers, guitars, effects, tubes, strings, picks... You get the picture. Guitar pick ups are on this long list of gear that you try out and hope for the best. Some times you love it and some times you want to throw it out the window for some other schmuck to deal. I believe I have found the pick up I like the most; The Evolution by DiMarzio. Now, this review was not taken lightly at all. I have this pick up in two different guitars and been trying it out for about a year now. DiMarzio is boasting the Evo as a high output pick up, with the treble at 6.0, bass at 6.5 and the mids up 7.0, I have found this pick up very balanced. Let me go through some set up configurations I have tried:
Line 6 X3 Live: Using a modeling amp you can do just about anything, however I have found that if you turn off all the bells and whistles you can get a nice clean lead tone.
Peavey JSX: This is the Joe Satriani signature Peavey amp. This amp has a little more mid-range than most, but still an awesome amp.
Both amplifiers are run through a Randall 4x12 with Vintage 30s. In the bridge position, the Evo cleans up any chord very nice with distortion! You can hear every little note clear as a bell. To me this is important, especially when you are playing rock music and trying to put accents on suspended chords.
The one feature I really dig about the Evo is that it cleans up very nicely using the volume on the guitar. Now, on the modeling amp, you are loosing tone, but what can you expect from a modeling amp? It's not tube... Which brings me to backing off the volume on a tube amp. You are loosing nothing! When you back that volume up it creates a very bluesy tone. This is very nice if you are running around and you can not hit a pedal or adjust your amp, just back off the volume. // 10
Reliability & Durability: Well, I have had this pick up for over a year in two of my guitars, so I think it is a safe bet that it will survive. I recommend this pick up to anyone and everyone who plays rock, jazz, country or anything similar. Sorry, although I am a metal head the Evo is not for you. // 10
Overall Impression: In a nutshell, I love this pick up! There were two huge features that sold me: Clean tone and no loss of tone while backing up the volume. I also like the fact that the pick up comes in array of color schemes. Come on now... We all like our stuff to look nice. One last thing to add is that the DiMarzio site and forums are awesome! Everyone there is full of info and ready to help.
This pick up is in two of my guitars: Fender Fat Strat and my Ibanez Prestige 3550. Both guitars are wired with a 500k pot. These guitars also have the matching neck pick up, which deserves its own review. Thank you for your time and I hope this helped a little. Feel free to contact me with any questions! Peace. // 10

Sound: Sound very well defined and "in your face," however their sound is like "ringing bell" and "disturbing" frequencies are decreased. Frequency analysis here:Highs, very well defined, recall the passages where Steve Vay plays with distortions and little gain. I'm surprised because to be bridge humb, the clean channel sound is nice and usable (for example if you add chorus). Mids, this is the frequency where they put the most effort and which were more successful. The media is enhanced but not annoying and have a strong presence; This is especially nice with distortion riff, everything is understood and defined (beware raise the gain of the amp, the capsule comes with much gain).Lows, like the mids, the frequencies "muddy" are decreased and lower-middle reveal all the notes you play (even with hard distortion). // 9
Reliability & Durability: As DiMarzio, no problems. // 9
Overall Impression: To give an idea, when I first started playing the capsule gave me the impression that i was playing with new strings. I installed it on an Ibanez RG Prestige. Compared with Seymour Duncan JB installed on my other Ibanez RG, the Evolution has a compact equalized and sound; JB instead was intended to bring out the natural sound of your guitar in a more vintage approach but with good output (clean mode JB is not useable, very raw)... Everything is a matter of taste. I do not give 10 because it is the capsule is a accurate machine, if Mister DiMarzio put just a bit less equalization and gain the capsule would be perfect (for me). // 9

DDR3: A comparative study
Striving to achieve an integrated user experience, today's devices are getting crammed with loads of features which operate on voluminous data traffic over various interfaces. For efficient processing of these data, faster memories offering high bandwidth are the need of the hour. In spite of availability of many different kinds of memories, Double Data Rate (DDR) memories maintain their dominant position when it comes to offering large amount of dynamic random access storage with high bandwidth data transfer interface. These types of memories are called Double Data Rate as they offer double the performance compared to the Single Data Rate memories by allowing two data transactions per memory clock.
A typical DDR memory is arranged in banks having multiple rows and columns along with pre-fetch buffers. For any data transaction, the memory address is split into bank address, row address and column addresses. The performance advantages of the DDR memory are mainly due to its pre-fetch architecture with burst oriented operation; where a memory access to a particular row of a bank causes the pre-fetch buffer to grab a set of adjacent datawords and subsequently burst them on IO pins on each edge of the memory clock, without requiring individual column addresses. Thus the higher the size of pre-fetch buffers, the higher is the bandwidth. Higher bandwidth is also achieved by creating modules with multiple DDR memory chips.
DDR memories require specific power up and initialization sequence prior to their operation. Before any read or write transaction, a particular row of a bank needs to be activated/opened (which essentially activates and amplifies the signals from that row) and after the end of the transaction it is pre-charged/closed if no further access to the row is needed. The DDR memories need to be periodically refreshed so that they don't lose any of their contents.
The size of pre-fetch buffer is 2n (two datawords per memory access) for DDR memories, 4n (four datawords per memory access) for DDR2 memories and 8n (eight datawords per memory access) for DDR3 memories; where n is the size of IO interface typically 4, 8 or 16. These pre-fetch schemes attribute their effectiveness to the principle of spatial locality.
With these basic understandings, the specific features and functionalities of DDR3 memories are further discussed in the following sections.
DDR3 Memory
DDR3 memories provide much improved performance compared to DDR2 memories due to their low power, higher clock frequency operation along with 8n pre-fetch architecture offering significantly higher bandwidth for data transfers. Typically a DDR3 memory operates at 1.5V at 400-800MHz memory clock frequency; thus offering a data rate per pin ranging from 800-1600Mbps. DDR3 memories are available in IO interface sizes of 4, 8 and 16; supporting burst lengths of 4 and 8 datawords per memory access. The important features of DDR3 memories are compared with those of DDR2 memories in Table 1.
Besides the above improvements in feature, DDR3 memories incorporate the following additional/new specifications which differ from the DDR2 memories:
- Introduction of Fly-by routing for connecting command and address signals to memory modules to provide improved signal integrity at high speeds.
- Write leveling and Read Leveling for skew compensation due to Fly-by routing.
- Incorporation of dedicated ZQ pad and ZQ calibration sequences along with on-die calibration engine for calibrating the On-Die termination circuit and output driver.
- Dedicated RESET pin
- Enhanced low power feature
- Dynamic On-Die termination to improve signal integrity for write transactions.

One of the most exciting times of the NBA season is All-Star Weekend—from the Slam Dunk Contest to the game itself.
Say what you want about the NBA All-Star Game being a glorified pickup game, for this year's festivities are going to usher in the new generation of talent.
Some of the younger players in the NBA haven't been in the league for long, but their talents are unquestionable. They continue to improve year in and year out, and for those who are still just making their mark in the league, they too are destined to get better and better.
The 2013 All-Star season is bound to be different from the others.
Over the past few years, we have grown accustomed to seeing certain star players appear in the main event, including Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, LeBron James and many others.
While the elder statesmen will surely be represented, the upcoming season's All-Star festivities will feature a fresh and younger generation of stars.
Starting this season, these select players will be the beginning of that trend.

What Would Don Draper Do?
By Avi Dan
Published July 28, 2008 in Adweek
What would Don Draper, the brilliant creative director of the fictional advertising agency Sterling Cooper in the show Mad Men do if he joined the business today? If he were catapulted back into advertising agency future in a souped up DeLorean, he won't recognize it: no cigarettes, no sexism, and no three martini lunches. The business got dull for the frat boys.
I got into the business on the tail of the Bernbach creative revolution. I was fortunate enough to work with two creative geniuses, the late Roy Grace and Diane Rothschild, who were in Ground Zero of that revolution. And in a magical agency called Wells, Rich, Greene that epitomized the creative revolution from the first moment when Mary Wells got mobile artist Alexander Calder to paint the fuselage of Braniff Airways planes. We didn't even have monikers like "non-traditional" for things like that then, we just called them ideas.
But the creative revolution was mainly about TV, and about image. And although at first we didn't notice it, it petered out. Cable killed broadcast TV, and advertising was slow to adapt to a more democratized landscape. We lost our mojo because we got fat and lazy and just shoved our commercials down consumers' throats by doing the same old, same old. So, the consumers took control. First with the remote control and DVRs and later with their keypads.
To paraphrase Norma Desmond, the mad, decaying heroine of the 1950 film noire classic "Sunset Boulevard", "The Consumer didn't get bigger. The agencies got smaller". Clinging to traditional solutions in TV commercials and ignoring the evolution of an interactive, interconnected world around them, and at best paying lip service to the needs of their clients to integrate their communication, find new ways to reach their customers and measure ROI.
Enter the media agencies.
We are now at the early stages of a new creative revolution, one that is media agency driven. Much of the hoopla in the press is on one aspect of this revolution –digital agencies, and lots of it is about social media of late. This is understandable. Digital is new. Social media is newer. It's growing very fast (albeit from a small base) and it's good "copy" – how the damn thing gets monetized is another matter. But the revolution is much broader than that. And ignored. It's in music. In gaming. In PR. In customer services. In video. In design as media. Everything is media today.
But most importantly the revolution takes place under the surface, in the less sexy areas of technology where media agencies have a big advantage. This technology brings those agencies ever closer to the consumer proximity to data is becoming as critical to marketing as Wal-mart to its shoppers. It allows media agencies pour over what spooks call raw intelligence: data uncontaminated by subjective interpretation and bias. This means better insights on how and where to connect with consumers, how to measure the engagements, how to enhance brand loyalty and how to arrive at meaningful ROI. The first creative revolution was all about connecting brands to culture. This one goes a step further. It's about complementing art with science and it's about understanding engagement differently in a vastly fragmented and much more challenging world. Going from gut instinct to precise understanding and knowledge. The Red Baron is about to become a space cowboy. John Wanamaker's lament, "I know that half my advertising is working. I just don't know which half" is yesterday's news.
Technology will not hinder creativity; it will make it more robust and crisp. Ideas will matter more than ever, except they would be media-led ideas. The advertising industry's version of the Tour de France's Yellow Jersey, worn by the leader, is about to change hands. From the "creatives" to the , the media analysts and strategists who can navigate smartly through reams of behavioral data and develop the creative roadmap to get the brand message to its destination in the most appetizing and efficient manner. The advertising industry is shifting its emphasis from the mindset of curators and editors to that of mathematicians and scientists, and that's not a bad thing in an age that value measurement. So that's where I think Don Draper would want to find himself if he entered advertising today. Analyzing consumers IQ and EQ, understand patterns of their behavior, engage in scenario planning, and coming up with insights and new ways make connections more relevant and more enjoyable.
Having spent the last 30 years in creative agencies (and with some, I use the term loosely) taught me that Creative is not art and a little more science is not such a bad idea. Is this the revenge of the nerds? Perhaps. But we got what's coming to us for every meeting in which media got relegated for the last 5 minutes or not didn't get to present at all after working all night on their flowcharts. A little more science is good for us. It will de-commoditize advertising and will make it more valuable to our clients.
But brothers and sisters of the media agencies, don't repeat the mistake of the first creative revolution. Don't make it a media or creative thing, make it an "and". I mean, who wants to log storyboards deep into New Jersey after eating suspect sushi working on them late into the night and get 5 minutes to present a dozen commercials?
And oh, yeah. Now that you are in charge of the asylum it's up to you now to bring back some boozing, too.

Book Review: Outlaw Marriages
The Hidden Histories of Fifteen Extraordinary Same-Sex Couples
Even when much has already been written about some of the same-sex couples covered in this exhaustively researched and cogently compact collection of joint histories – Walt Whitman and Peter Doyle, Tennessee Williams and Frank Merlo, for example – cultural historian Streitmatter brings fresh insights to his mini-biographies. His thesis: that the often lesser-known partner provided artistic stimulus or emotional support to his or her companion: 21-year-old Doyle became the muse for Whitman, 45; Merlo "single-handedly stabilized" Williams' life and thus his career. The same can be said of almost all of the 15 outlaw marriages the author selected: over the 43-year relationship of Mary Rozet Smith and Jane Addams, it was Smith's wealth that provided the financial backing for Addams' activism; over the 38 years that James Baldwin was coupled with Lucien Happersberger, the latter's emotional stability provided Baldwin with the security he needed to write. Many of these unsanctioned marriages endured until a partner's death; one lasted less than a decade; some included jealousy and betrayal. But as America's acceptance of marriage equality expands, Streitmatter's study stands as proof that there have always been queer pairings.

West Coast Classics are proud to present a great example of this rare and unrestored original southern California 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner 2 door Hardtop which was born and built in 9/1970 with a 383/335HP 4 barrel high performance engine with the optional 'Fresh Air'Air Grabber retractable hood with performance hood treatment, Heavy Duty A727 Torqueflite transmission, original 'Music Master AM Radio, Light Package, 3 speed wipers, hood or fender mounted turn signals, roof drip rail moldings, outside LH remote racing mirror, a white vinyl roof and still retaining its original 'Hemi Orange' color paint and a black vinyl bench seat interior!
The car is in virtually completely rust free condition with no signs of any major accidents and has been garaged in southern California by its long-time California owner for many years. The car is an unfinished project by the previous owner who died several years ago with its original 383 engine removed at some point and the car now has a 440 RB block from 1966-72 with the casting # 25364305 and with what looks like a date stamp from 10/1968 but with the heads and carbs etc removed and unavailable. We purchased the car 'as is' from the sister of the previous owner and the car has many parts left over from the project in the trunk including new headers, rollers, rockers, lifters, etc and the 'Coyote' air cleaner.
This is an absolutely perfect candidate for the muscle car enthusiast to restore or simply a great father and son project for any classic American muscle car enthusiast of a legendary 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner!
For 1968, the Plymouth lineup offered the high performance Roadrunner packed with a standard 383/335 HP engine with an optional 4 speed transmission, heavy duty suspension, GTX like hood bulges, a 'taxicab' basic interior, little cartoon bird decals on the doors and the unique 'Beep-Beep' horn! Combined with low weight, the 6-passenger Road Runner could run the 1/4 mile in 13.5 seconds at 105 mph (169 km/h). It would prove to be one of the best engines of the muscle car era, and the Road Runner one of the best platforms to utilize it. The Roadrunner was not fragile. Unlike some sports cars (such as the Corvette), it was built for serious street work, the Roadrunner was reportedly a favorite of moonshiners, faster than almost any police car and tough enough to take practically any bump, with good ground clearance to boot. Everything essential to performance and handling was beefed-up and improved; everything nonessential was left out. The interior was spartan, lacking even carpets in early models, and few options were available. A floor-mounted shifter featured only a rubber boot and no console so that a bench seat could be used. An "Air Grabber" option consisted of an air duct assembly bolted to the underside of the hood that connected to twin rectangular upward-facing scoops in the hood. When the hood was closed, a rubber seal fitted over a large oval unsilenced air cleaner assembly that ducted air directly into the engine. The scoops in the hood could be opened and closed via a lever under the dashboard. Continued only until 1970 and a 'Milestone classic car status' vehicle today! Because it was a bare-bones muscle car it's weight was kept as low as possible for an even better power to weight ratio than any of it's competitors. Plymouth needed a muscle car to really stand out from it's competition and with 335HP this car really lived up to it's name and could beat almost any other muscle car on the street, with the 440 or Hemi it was unbeatable! Dodge missed out on these low priced muscle cars at the beginning of the 1968 season but soon added the Super bee to counterpart the Roadrunner. The Roadrunner and Super Bee's performance quickly silenced any laughter coming from those who drove an SS, GTO or GTA, names that began to sound dated. Lean and mean, meant for boulevard cruising or an occasional street race, these vehicles offered the Mopar buyer the ultimate bang for the buck and the proof was that the Roadrunner was Motor Trend's Car of the year in 1969! One of the standout muscle cars of the sixties, rare today, a neat original Roadrunner is highly prized by collectors and Mopar enthusiasts!
This particular car was born in 1970 with the late owner passing on a few years ago when the car was inherited by his sister who stored the car in her garage until recently selling to us. The car is very straight with no signs of any accidents, the floor boards are solid and the trunk and the typical rust-prone areas of the rear window sill and rocker panels are also rust free and the car has only some very minor dents and scratches (see photos below). The car looks very impressive with it's original 'Hemi Orange' color factory paint and the black vinyl bench seat interior is also in very fine mostly all original condition throughout. Please note that the the original spare wheel is missing from the trunk.
Although a non-running unfinished project and obviously far from a concourse example, this remains a solid and honest and very rare and highly desirable and collectible very original example of one of the outstanding muscle cars of the late sixties, which has high repute amongst collectors for both it's beautiful lines and high performance.In summary, this is one increasingly desirable and collectible 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner with the highly prized option of the Air Grabber hood!
A sure-fire investment that's sure to appreciate over the years once restored for any classic American sixties muscle car enthusiast and a perfect restoration project for the Mopar enthusiast!
Reserve this car immediately!

When we think of meditation, we tend to think of Eastern meditation techniques. Many are familiar with zazen, for example—sitting, attending to the breath, and bringing the mind back from stray thoughts. But what about Western meditation practices? How are these different? Are they as powerful? Patrick Dunn, author of the new Practical Art of Divine Magic, maps out a powerful, theurgic meditation on beauty designed to bring us closer to the divine.

Modern Western magick is unfortunately dismissed as ineffective for such purposes. Like it or not, we Westerners have acquired that reputation (or stereotype) somewhere along our way. But why is this the case? Aaron Leitch offers several tips to enhance your magickal results by reconnecting with lost secrets of the past.

Among the Western Initiatic Traditions, Freemasonry is likely the best known—yet shrouded in mystery. What exactly is Freemasonry? How did it evolve? And why all the secrecy? Jean-Louis de Biasi, 32° Freemason and author of several books, including Secrets and Practices of the Freemasons, explains.

For centuries, the ancient Western Mysteries have been transmitted through rituals called initiations. What are magical initiations? Do we necessarily need to be part of a magical order to be initiated? Jean-Louis de Biasi, author of the new Rediscover the Magick of the Gods and Goddesses, explains.

More than a magician, Dr. John Dee was also one of the most interesting and fascinating figures of the Elizabethan Age; his work with Edward Kelly has persevered for centuries. However, written in an obscure form of Latin, they are not readily accessible. Donald Michael Kraig describes the new tools available to those wishing to access Dee's work.

What is Enochian Magick? How did John Dee and Edward Kelly come to possess knowledge of the Angelical language previously hidden? And how did that Angelical language become what we today know as Enochian Magick? Aaron Leitch, author of The Angelical Language, Volume I and Volume II, explains.

The term "black magick" fascinates as no other, and yet the term itself is so mysterious and vague that it's not always easy to find two magicians who can agree precisely on its meaning. Is black magick that of revenge, theft, cruelty, or other malicious acts? Or is a magick that explores the darker sides of our psyches? Shawn Martin Scanlon, author of Everything You Want To Know About Magick (But Were Afraid To Ask), discusses why we needn't focus so much on the multiple definitions of "black magick"—or even worry about incorporating it into our own magickal practices.

Magick is one hundred percent natural; there is evidence of its use as far back as the earliest humans. But how has magick grown and evolved in that time span? Author and magician Donald Michael Kraig investigates three newly-released books from Golden Hoard Press that, in their original forms, were used by the teachers of the teachers of the teachers who are teaching magick today.
Date: 2012-04-09 By: David Rankine
Over the last thousand years there have been several distinct streams of Western magical practice. Running parallel are the grimoires, which focus on preparation and complex procedures to produce effective communication and interaction with spiritual beings, and the Books of Secrets, full of simple techniques using easily available ingredients. Both of these traditions have influenced many of the more recent magical traditions and practices that have developed in recent centuries. However, until recently the importance of the early Book of Secrets tradition has been largely ignored. Here magician David Rankine explains the rich, magical history behind these books.
