The 411 Music Top Five 12.18.12: Top 5 New Acts of 2012
Honorable Mentions: These are three bands that I discovered this year and really enjoyed, but since I wasn't sure if they'd quality for "New Artist", I decided to give them the HM.
Black Breath – Really good mix of death, thrash, and punk speed. Their album, 'Sentenced to Life' was a killer album with lots of aggression.
Wodensthrone – They've been around for about 6 years, but their second album came out this year, and it was massive. A sprawling mixture of black metal and folk music that will not leave anyone disappointed.
Alunah – This pretty awesome stoner/doom band out of England have been around for about 5 years. Their second album dropped earlier in the year, and they have a pretty heavy sound, some good riffs,and they're female fronted, and it's not a gimmick, because this girl rocks. (Some bands have it as a gimmick, like that shit band, Butcher Babies, that are touring with Marilyn Manson soon, all tit, little talent).
5. Rage Nucléaire
This is a one of the bands that have someone that is well known in the metal community in the band. This band is the new one for former Cryptopsy vocalist, Lord Worm. They have released their first album, "Unrelenting Fucking Hatred" not too long ago. The band has a good black metal feel to them, it's a bit run of the mill, to be honest. But that doesn't make it bad, it has everything that makes a good black metal album, production included (or lack there of). What lands them on this list is how good of a job Lord Worm does with the vocals, he was made for a band like this. Just don't hope to understand any words on the first listen (it's black metal, when does that ever happen?).
4. Corrosive Carcass
This band has only had one demo before their first album, so I say they qualify. This band is one that I found on one of the slow metal weeks in my column. They're 100% Swedish Death Metal, and I love Swedish Death Metal. They go fast, heavy, with a lot of really good rhythmm changes inside the songs. They have a surprisingly clean guitar tone at some times, as well. If you like bands like Dismember, you should check them out, they're a damn good headbanging time.
3. Earthen Grave
This band is a pretty damn awesome mish-mash of random things. Imagine a band that has a base of doom metal, then throw in some thrash. Then you go get a vocalist that can do a damn good Chris Cornell impersonation, then throw in a violin, and BAM!, here is this band. Their self-titled album is pretty damn awesome. It has a lot of variance in it, which is not surprising, considering all the random things that this band brings. I can't wait to hear more from them.
2. God Seed
This is another of the bands that already have notable people in it. After trying to stage a coup within Gorgoroth, King Ov Hell and Gaahl were booted from that band, and here they are, in God Seed. This album has a similar feel to Gorgoroth, but they do a damn good job of putting out a sound that is truly their own. There are many element that they have that are unconvential for black metal. Of course, the dense atmosphere that comes with much of black metal still remains, but beyond some of those common black metal themes, you will find a very interesting listen and a great new band to look forwards to more releases from.
1. Grand Supreme Blood Court
This next band is another one that is a super group by all means. They have 3 out of the 4 members of the current line-up of Ashpyx. The old guitarist from Asphyx and the bassist from Hail of Bullets. This band is Grade A+ death metal, they do it so damn well. The only thing I can take away from them is the fact that this sounds like an Ashpyx album. Not that I'm complaining too much, their new album, 'Bow Down Before the Blood Court', is heavier than a ten ton hammer to the face. Go check them NOW!
|Note: The point of this list is not specifically acts that began their music career in 2012. What we're looking for is similar to the "Best New Artist" award criteria at the Grammys, aka "a new artist who releases, during the Eligibility Year, the first recording which establishes the public identity of that artist." So basically, people who broke out and became publicly known during 2012 via an album release.
Honorable Mention: Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, The Lumineers, Imagine Dragons
5. Lana del Rey
You could argue this one, I suppose…and that's part of why she's at #5 instead of higher. Yes, Lana Del Rey got a bit of publicity before 2012 bowed thanks to getting a Q award for "Next Big Thing" in October 2011. And of course she was known as Lizzy Grant before that, though I don't think anyone would argue that she was publicly known. It was 2012 that she really burst onto the music scene and became one of the most controversial new artists of the frist half of the year. You can argue about her credibility all you want, but she helped push the rising wave of more sophisticated pop music on the charts and I give her a ton of credit for that. Whether she'll be more than a one-album wonder is something we'll have to see though.
4. Alabama Shakes
I don't quite have the love for Alabama Shakes that some people do, but you can't deny that they're one of the biggest new acts to hit the music scene in 2012. In my eyes they are a very decent band that released a good record, and there's nothing wrong with that especially when you consider that it is their first record. I'm giving them a bit of leeway because of my unabashed love for Southern rock. Boys & Girls is definitely enough to make me look forward to what they're going to bring in the future.
3. fun.
You either loved or hated this band in 2012; there was no middle ground. Obviously you can see where I stand. fun. was everywhere this year as they had an everpresent early hit in "We Are Young" and then followed that up with the superior "Some Nights." This is far from the only time you'll be seeing them on a top X list in the next few weeks around the internet, I can promise you.
2. Frank Ocean
Frank Ocean had a bit of buzz going for him in 2011 thanks to his presence in the controversial Odd Future and his association with Kanye West and Jay-Z. 2012 was the year that he finally broke out and became his own artist. With Channel ORANGE in the books Ocean was unstoppable and his music was everywhere…and in a rarity, it wasn't one of those kinds of "everywhere" where you just want to turn off the radio because you're sick of the song. No one could hold a candle to what Ocean did this year in terms of R&B, whether we're talking established acts or new ones.
1. Kendrick Lamar
Rap fans, go out and get good kid, m.A.A.d city. I'm serious. If you enjoy rap music then either you already have it or you need to get it. It was one of those hip-hop albums this year that took me by complete surprise in the best possible way. In a year when rap was quickly becoming stale and monotonous in its content, Lamar was one of two or three artists who was doing their own thing and not just putting out more bling-oriented hip-hop. The end result was one of my favorite rap LP's of the year and it made Lamar the best new artist of 2012.
As always, the last thoughts come from you, the reader. We're merely unpaid monkeys with typewriters and Wikipedia. Here's what you need to do: List your Top Five for this week's topic on the comment section using the following format:

The Good Feet
Arch Supports, Orthotics
Slimline with GET Technology
Cushions & Accessories
Nearly 85% percent of the population suffer from foot-related problems, most of which are caused by wearing improper footwear, walking on hard surfaces for long periods of time, sports injuries, or just being overweight? Doctors and researchers agree that people can experience pain in their feet, legs, hips and back due to foot problems. If your feet are not properly balancing your body weight, the rest of your skeletal structure can become misaligned.
When you wear Good Feet Arch Supports, your feet are morecorrectly aligned and your body weight more evenlydistributed, which can relieve pain and pressure in your feet,knees, hips, even your back.
It's important to be professionally fitted for your arch supports because your shoe size is notthe same as your arch size. Buying drugstore or mail orderarch supports that aren't personally sized for your feet maybe convenient, but they haven't been personally fit to your feet,and can ultimately do more harm than good!

NEW ORLEANS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GoSolarUSA (PinkSheets: GSLO) announced today that it has created an online waiting list that will allow consumers to reserve the company's Volt Solar Charger for purchase once the device goes on sale.
"These lucky few will receive the most advanced solar battery pack available for the iPhone absolutely free"
iPhone fans can now visit GoSolarUSA.com, enter an e-mail address and other contact information and expect to be notified first when the Volt Solar Charger becomes available for purchase in North America.
"We've had success before with offering customers the opportunity to reserve electronics products using online waiting lists," Rohde said. "The list helps assure consumers that they'll be notified as soon as a new product goes on sale and that they'll have access to special pricing on the item. Since our soft launch of the Volt waiting list, we've already received hundreds of reservations, so we know that demand is high for this product."
The Volt Solar Charger is an external battery pack that attaches to the iPhone and extends its battery life using a top-of-the-line, built-in solar panel. The Volt is capable of harvesting solar energy to charge all versions of the Apple iPhone with the same device. By capturing free, renewable solar power, the Volt recharges the iPhone's battery first before charging its own internal battery, nearly doubling the smartphone's talk time. The Volt includes a larger battery than many competitors and is the only iPhone battery pack known to the company to include a reception corrector. Last Wednesday, GSLO announced that the first shipment of Volt demonstration models to reach North America is expected to arrive by the end of this week.
To encourage potential customers to reserve a Volt Solar Charger before they go on sale, GoSolarUSA will give away a Volt to 100 randomly selected people who sign up for the device's waiting list with no purchase necessary.
"These lucky few will receive the most advanced solar battery pack available for the iPhone absolutely free," Rohde said. "We're obviously very proud of this technology, and we can't wait to show it off to the public."
Earlier this month, GoSolarUSA announced that the company acquired the exclusive North American distribution rights to the Volt Solar Charger when it signed a distribution agreement with Xiamen Solar Electronics (XSE), the Chinese developer of the Volt. North America is the world's largest market for iPhone accessories.
The deal is only the latest development in the growing relationship between GSLO and XSE. GoSolarUSA also announced last week that it signed a profit participation agreement with XSE that entitles GSLO to a percentage of XSE's future net profits worldwide.
GoSolarUSA is dedicated to aggressively acquiring, developing and marketing promising and potentially profitable technology. The Volt Solar Charger is a product of Xiamen Solar Electronics based in Xiamen, China. The iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 are products of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), which competes in the global smartphone market against Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android devices and the Research in Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM) BlackBerry line.
For more information, please visit www.GoSolarUSA.com/Investors.
About GoSolarUSA, Inc.
GoSolarUSA primarily identifies and develops new solar energy technologies in the United States. We believe this not only creates high-quality jobs in America, but it ensures the quality and availability of our products. GSLO is endeavoring to advance clean American solar technology to compete in an energy industry that includes stalwarts such as First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR). GoSolarUSA is a US registered and reporting OTCQB market tier company.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - June 9, 2011, New Braunfels, Texas 6 I Thursday, June 9, 2011 | herald-zeitung.comThose rivers don't clean themselves Cleanup program contract keeps Comal, Guadalupe pristine — at a price of $150K By Gf®9 Bowtn The HerakJ-Zeitung Ever wonder how the city's Comal and Guadalupe rivers can look so good, despite the tons of fitter that tubers leave behind'' You can thank the City of New Braunfels' river cleanup program, under whic h a contractor is hired to clear away tourism trash. City River Manager Nathan Pence said the program helps the rivers "stay as protected and as pristine as they've always been." Pristine Texas Rivers of New Braunfels does the city's river cleanup. After the busy Memorial Day weekend, which kicked off the summer season, Pristine went to work — and left the river as clean as it was before Memorial Day, Pence said. "We've been perfecting this for the last few years and they're doing their job well." The program has been so successful that it is being imitated by other cities with river recreation, he said. Here's how it works: The firm's $150,000 contract — the same amount paid last year — is for both above-water and underwater cleanup from March through October. On Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays and Sundays, Pristine cleans above water along the rivers inside the city limits. Workers clean up anything left hanging in the trees and anything on the banks, empty the litter boats, pick up trash on private docks and even net litter in shallow water. They'll also clean tuber river entrances and exits, including Cypress Bend Park, the Last Tubers' Exit and the Gateway to the Comal area at Prince Solms Park. Once a week, Pristine puts scuba divers into the Comal to collect litter from the Wurstfest grounds to the Guadalupe.

What Chanel Should Do
Chanel recently announced the cancellation of its Mobile Art tour, which featured a spaceship-like gallery designed by "starchitect" Zaha Hadid. The fashion-meets-art project probably seemed like a chic intellectual and creative (and marketing) exercise before the economic downturn. The portable building, featuring work by the likes of well-known contemporary artists like Sylvie Fleury, was scheduled to hit London, Moscow, and Paris after New York. Now it won't. (It already toured Hong Kong and Tokyo). But why not turn the sleek structure into a pop-up store?
When I visited the building when it was installed in New York's Central Park, that's all I could think: wow, they should sell their elegant wares here—amidst the art that directly references Chanel's design legacy. Here's a video I took on opening day, musing that Hadid's building really is as much like a store as it is a mini-museum:
And here's another video I shot, inside. The girl employed by Chanel, just standing there with the Chanel T-shirt on (one of many)? She could have been selling No. 5 perfume. Or imagine a private sale for VIPs in what could be the world's most stylish pop-up store, rather than, or in addition to, expensive opening-night parties with no direct ROI. Sure, the company could have still celebrated the wonderful artwork featured even if it turned Hadid's building into a high-end shop. And imagine the sculptures and photographs also for sale. Perhaps part of the commission could go to Chanel? Think of how innovative a store the Mobile Art structure could have been—or could be—mixing art and commerce in an extremely fashionable and inventive way.

I don't give a crap what a person uses to motivate himself to be a good person, if they are good they should be praised by everyone.
If a person wants to fight a war over religion then they are bad and no one should support them plain and simple.
Being a very religious and spiritual Christian, I can see why his behavior would anger people. There are certain things about life that need to be kept personal, such as the relationship with God, should you believe in him.
Christianity also puts an emphasis on wisdom. Perhaps, it is not wise for him, to come out in front of the entire country, a country which is secular, and constantly mention God. It offends people with different kinds of beliefs. Its kind of like saying "Im successful because my God helped me do all of this....what did your God do?"
While I admire his motivation, still, from one Christian to another, there is wisdom to consider. Keep the God stuff to yourself unless asked otherwise.

Hi Guys,
I was towing a trailer this morning and when I had to signal, nothing happened. I thought that a fuse had blown, but when checking the fuse was fine - even tested with another fuse to be certain. I also noticed, that with lights on, the lights turn on when the ignition key is inserted. Now it will first come on when I turn the key.
Using the remote ign. key to lock/unlock the car, the turn signal does not flash either. It's just completely dead.
Does anyone have an idea on what could be wrong?

Wild, by Jay Griffiths
Today's post comes from an old school pal, Jessica Reidy! Thanks Jessica!
Wild, by Jay Griffiths
Griffiths lives with indigenous communities all over the world and talks to them about their environments, histories, beliefs, troubles, and their concepts of "wild." It is an extraordinarily important feminist, historical, and anthropological work! Indigenous people have been abused, murdered, and wiped out by missionaries and colonialists alike, erased by white interference and theft. It's a sad book, but an important book, and enormously well-written.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by detteam, Mar 17, 2008.
Georgetown sinks, and so does my bracket!
If you view only the top half of my bracket (East & South), everything looks pretty good. Then look at the bottom half (Midwest & West), it pretty much turns blood red...I'm willing to call my bracket a total loss. Moving forward, my only satisfaction will be if State advances next weekend
I would love to see that! STATE STATE STATE STATE!
Dude, Chris Jackson should be WAY higher on your list. Behind Korver? WTF?! The only guy on your list I'd rate at the same level as a deadly college shooter as Jackson was Rice, because he was so $$$$$$ in the tournament during UM's title run.
That would hurt my bracket a lot, considering I have Memphis winning it all...
Me too.
Only reason I picked against Michigan State is because I figured everyone here would pick them to go a long way (or even win it all... ahem. Warthog), so if I picked against them and they lost early I'd pick up some nice points. On the flip side, it could cost me a few points against EVERYONE. Costanzatown, you stink!
I've got UNC winning it all. They play the red-hot Washington State Cougars next. It should be a great game; Washington dominated their first two games.
You mean the North Carolina "let's run up the score and play our starters to the end even with a 30 point lead." Tarheels??
Maybe one of them will get hurt just enough to lose to Wisconsin in the Final Four... :fingerscr
Can't officially wish that on any team, but in the end, the finals will be a matchup between the Heels and the lucky Bruins who are the beneficiaries of refs calls in crunch time 3 of their last 4 games. Check out this vid probably put up by an Aggie. Stanford and USC fans feel their pain as they fell victims to the refs whistle swallowing in the Pac 10 Tourney 2 weeks ago. YouTube - You Make the Call (original with no spam), UCLA vs Texas A&M
I wonder if it is officiating that is horrible or we get all the fancy-shmancy reviews available, along with internet replays and stuff like that, so that the mistakes are all out there in the spot light.
Killer instinct.
UNC still has a lot of energy left over from all those years of running the four corners.
The funny thing is none of the guys playing now probably ever saw a 4 corner offense.. wasn't that the 70's and early 80's when Dean ran that darn thing..
Smith and UNC ran it at times all the way into the '80s, but that went out when the NCAA finally started using a shot clock in the mid '80s.
Including a very annoying ACC tourny game against Virginia with Ralph Sampson that I remember particularly vividly. College hoops started using a 45 second clock in 1985.
Final four set as all # 1 seeds for the first time in history?? All teams colors are a shade of blue and white. UCLA and Menphis had scares in of their opening two games but breezed into the final four this weekend. Kansas and North Carolina blew out their two opening weekend opponents, bit then both had to hold on win final four clinching games. Outstanding individual play in the tourney by Davison Stephen Curry UCLA's Kevin Love and North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough. Can Tyler step up his game and will the Heels to the title? Does anybody see him being successful in the NBA, or will be another Tarhill/Bluedevil from NC that will fight for pt. Will UCLA finall win the whole thing now that there is no Florida Gators there to stop them?? Only two of us in the pf pool picked Memphis, me and CJ, so if they win, CJ gets the win as I messed up neglecting to pick their opponent
What a night! Memphis breezes to a win and Kansas destroys the darlings of the tournament. If Memphis wins, I win $100 from my other bracket, where I'm tied for first with someone who picked Kansas to go all the way!
Don't expect to win. Hansborough had more fingers in his face that Vlasic has pickles.... Although my predicting a Kansas win with my bracket finished could be a good omen for you.
Separate names with a comma.

LaSalle lashes East Providence in Thanksgiving Day football rout
EAST PROVIDENCE — The LaSalle Academy football team maintained its recent dominance over East Providence in the annual Thanksgiving Day clash between the storied rivals as the Rams ripped the Townies, 34-0, Thursday morning, Nov. 22, at Pierce Memorial Stadium.
League-unbeaten and first-place LaSalle scored the first three times it touched the ball, including what proved the game-winning points on a touchdown run by senior quarterback and co-captain Anthony Francis to conclude the Rams' first possession. LaSalle was never troubled in the contest, scoring all of its points in the opening 24 minutes to build a 34-0 lead by intermission.
The victory was the Rams sixth in a row on Thanksgiving, upping their overall lead in the series to 47-35-2. LaSalle hasn't lost a holiday meeting against the Townies since 2006, when an East Providence squad en route to the state title defeated the Rams by a 12-8 score.
LaSalle improved to 8-0 in the Division I standings with the win, 10-1 overall. The Rams are assured of being the top seed in the upcoming state championship playoffs and will host a semifinal contest Tuesday night, Nov. 27. For East Providence, its season comes to a close with a 1-7 record in Division I games and 2-9 overall.

The Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program broadens the geographic distribution of NIH funding for biomedical research. The program fosters health-related research and enhances the competitiveness of investigators at institutions located in states in which the aggregate success rate for applications to NIH has historically been low. The program also serves unique populations—such as rural and medically underserved communities—in these states. The IDeA program increases the competitiveness of investigators by supporting faculty development and research infrastructure enhancement at institutions in 23 states and Puerto Rico.
Shaded states are eligible for IDeA.
Centers and NetworksThe IDeA program has two main components:
It is critical to translate the many important advances emerging from basic biomedical research supported through the COBRE and INBRE initiatives into better patient care and improved public health in IDeA states. This is best achieved by fostering productive partnerships between basic and clinical scientists in IDeA institutions and among other NIH-funded programs. The IDeA Program Infrastructure for Clinical and Translational Research (IDeA-CTR) (PAR-14-303) initiative encourages applications from IDeA states to develop infrastructure and capacity to conduct clinical and translational research on diseases that affect medically underserved populations and/or diseases prevalent in IDeA states. It further provides for mentoring and career development activities in clinical and translational research.
Application and Co-FundingIn some years, NIGMS will co-fund awards made by other NIH institutes and centers (ICs) to support investigator-initiated research project grants at institutions within IDeA-eligible states, depending on the availability of funds. When appropriate, NIGMS will request the other NIH ICs submit to NIGMS for IDeA co-funding consideration eligible applications that have already been judged meritorious by NIH peer-review committees and IC national advisory councils, but are outside the range of applications currently under consideration for funding.Co-Funding Eligibility Criteria
Investigator-initiated applications (either new or competing continuation) submitted by investigators at institutions within IDeA-eligible states and assigned to any NIH IC may be considered.
Certain populations (Native Americans, Aleuts, Native Alaskans, Hispanics and Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders) within IDeA-eligible states are disproportionately affected by numerous diseases. Support for studies of diseases that have a disproportionate effect on their health—health disparities—is also provided by the IDeA program.

Use Insect Dust to eliminate crawling insects around your home. Our diatomaceous earth comes in the form of a chalky powder, and is the natural fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae. Diatom particles are very small and sharp – but only harmful to the small exoskeletons of insects. Insects cannot become immune to its action, as it is a mechanical killer – not a chemical one. Because it is a light dust, diatomaceous earth easily clings to the bodies of insects as they crawl over it. The tiny diatom particles then cut into the waxy coating of insects and they dry out and die of dehydration within 48 hours.
Food-Grade Diatomaceous Earth is an all-natural product that is so safe it can be sprinkled around your vegetable patch, or rubbed right into your dog's fur.
What Insects Does It Control?
- Fleas
- Ants
- Ticks
- Silverfish
- Cockroaches
- Bed bugs
- Carpet beetles
- Spiders
- Earwigs
- Spider mites
- House flies
- Slugs and snails
For Indoor Use:
Lightly coat a thin layer in areas where insects are found or may hide, such as kitchen cupboards, behind and under appliances, baseboards or drain pipes. For carpets, lightly sprinkle the Insect Dust over the carpet, and leave for 2-3 days before vacuuming.
You can leave the dust in place until you no longer see any signs of insects in that area, at which point you can clean it up.
Thoroughly dust floor, carpets and bedding in and around pet's sleeping areas, as well as surrounding baseboards, cracks and crevices. Safe to use around your pets - it can be rubbed right into your dog's fur.
Take apart bed and dust joints and channels. Dust any hollow tubing and the interior framework as well as the mattress and all cracks in the room. Use a turkey baster or duster to apply clouds of the dust over the affected area. Leave the dust for a few days. It is still safe to sleep in your bed even while the dust is present.
Lightly dust in and around kitchen and bathroom plumbing, along baseboards and wherever else silverfish are found.
Carpet Beetles
Dust along baseboards, carpet edges, under carpet, furniture and inside closets.
For Outdoor Use:
Lightly coat a thin layer of diatomaceous earth on areas where insects are found, such as patios, door frames, foundations, sewer pipes and drains. Apply as a barrier around plants, trees and garden beds. For best results, reapply the Insect Dust after heavy rainfall.
Thoroughly dust areas where flies frequent, such as livestock pens and kennels. It can be applied to livestock coat as an insect repellent/contact insecticide. DE can also be added to the food of pets and livestock. The DE helps as a de-worming agent for livestock, and it ends up in their dung. Flies lay eggs on the dung which hatch into maggots, which are then killed by the DE. This is an effective method for fly control, especially on farms and homesteads, and in outdoor areas where animals are present.
Fire Ants
Sprinkle diatomaceous earth directly on the ant mound, or mix with water to saturate the mound. It can also be sprinkled along ant trails. The ants will track the DE back to their nests where the colony will be exposed to its abrasive action.
Slugs and other garden pests
Apply as a barrier around plants and garden beds. Reapply after rain. Any diatomaceous earth that washes into soil will continue to benefit your garden, since it acts like vermiculite in retaining water for future slow release. Our diatomaceous earth is OMRI listed for organic use.
Diatomaceous earth will not harm worms or any of the beneficial microorganisms in the soil.
Lice control for chickens
Lice are a common scourge around chickens and can lower their vitality resulting in fewer eggs and disease. Set a "dusting box" of DE in the corner of the coop and chickens will continually apply themselves with DE. This will reduce or eliminate lice within a few days.

This Food-Grade Diatomaceous Earth is uncalcined amorphous silica, which comes from natural freshwater deposits in the USA. The freshwater naturally occurring diatomaceous earth deposits that are designated Food Grade by the FDA have less than 1% crystalline silica. These deposits are primarily amorphous silica which is harmless when ingested and is commonly used in feed and food industries. Insect Dust is certified organic by the Organic Materials Review Institute.
Insect Dust is registered as an insecticide with the EPA, so it is required to have a generic health warning on the bag, despite its safety.
Environmental Health Coalition refers to Diatomaceous Earth as one of the least toxic insect controls on their "Home Safe Home" fact sheet about safe household cleaners and indoor pest control.
Professor Stuart Hill at McGill University describes Diatomaceous Earth as non-toxic and feeling like talc when you touch it. He says that if you are going to apply large quantities, you should wear a face mask to avoid inhaling it. However, he mentions that inhaling common road dust is probably more harmful than inhaling Diatomaceous Earth.
Please note that food-grade diatomaceous earth should not be confused with "pool grade" diatomaceous earth. Diatomaceous earth used in pool or water filtration contains DE that has been chemically treated and heated making the silica crystalline which is a dangerous respiratory hazard and harmful to the health of humans and animals.

Questions about the Insect Dust Diatomaceous Earth - 4.4 lb
- From Tina at 8/7/13 1:45 AM
- After reading through the info, reviews, and questions, I would like clarification on this products effectiveness. I understand it cuts the exoskeleton. If I'm not mistaken, the pests do not carry the powder with them, therefore, it only affects the pest (roaches) directly. I don't know the 'habits' of roaches, though. Do they have nests, and if so, this product would not be effective in that sense, correct?
I would much rather use a natural product but I can not handle having pests in my home!
Thank you in advance for your reply.
- You are correct in how DE works. To some extent, DE is tracked to nests by the carrier insects, but the most lethal dose is going to be where you apply the DE.
In our home, DE is applied in discreet areas where the vacuum doesn't usually reach. We also know the areas of most insect activity, so these places get an extra spoonful. Ledges, the tops of cabinets, under the dishwasher, on the ledge of the bed frame, etc. are examples. For roaches, be sure to apply DE on top of the cabinets or other high places.
If you follow a course of applying DE in your home, you will see the insect population drop within a week, and over time you will have few to no insects in your home indoor environment. We have experienced this first hand!

- Hello, I have some pests in my home. Wood lice, house centipedes ,silver fish and now a biting nymph of the masked hunter as well as the adults. Should I put this DE in my attic and in my dirt basement or just my main living areas?
Thanks for your time.
- You should apply DE in areas in your attic and basement as well as your main living areas. Apply DE in places where it will not be disturbed by the vacuum or foot traffic. Ledges where insects travel are good locations. Avoid placing in moist areas. Over time you will notice a reduction in the insect population in your home.

- If I rub DE into my cats fur and we all know cats are big on licking themselves to stay clean. Will DE harm my cat by licking itself, hence licking up the DE?
- Your cat will not be harmed by licking DE from his fur. DE is safe for pets even if it is ingested.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Marilyn at 10/31/13 12:48 AM
- From angela at 10/31/13 6:32 PM
- I live in an apartment and have a dog. is this safe to put in my cabinets as they go all the way to the ceiling? also my dog has sensitive skin and allergic to fleas. is this safe to put on him?
- It is safe to put DE in your cabinets, but it only makes sense if you have bug activity in the cabinets, which is not usually the case. You can put DE anywhere you suspect that bugs will come into contact with it. Just try to place DE in spots where the vacuum will not pick it up during routine house cleaning.
If your dog has skin sensitivity issues, then it is a safe practice to try applying a small amount of DE to one area of the dog's fur. Watch for any possible reaction. As a general rule, it is safe to use DE on pets, but in your case it's best to take a cautious approach.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Laurie at 11/7/13 12:33 PM
- Hello. I was going to ask about safety to my turtles, and see that someone already asked. Have you gotten any further info on this from customers? I have several and they will be in the yard.
Also, does DE work in cold weather? I want to treat my backyard and if so, how to spread it, or should I lay out "lines" of it?
- We have no aadditional information about the safety of turtles exposed to DE. However, we feel it is unlikely they will be adversely affected.
Yes, DE will work in cold weather, but if it becomes frozen it will lose effectiveness until thawed. If you are treating your yard as a flea control measure, then it can be broadcast. But when broadcast, its effectiveness can be compromised by wind which may disperse it, and rain. If you are wanting to use DE to prevent insects from entering your home, then it is best to apply it in lines in areas where insects frequent or where they may try to access the indoors.
When you are cleaning house. look for evidence of insect activity such as bits of insect debris. This will help you zero in on the best locations to apply DE.

- From Ginger at 12/16/13 10:53 AM
- We just bought a home and have seen a few large roaches. (Or palmetto bugs as they refer to them here in FL) I want to use this to kill off the roaches and also keep other spiders/bugs away. I read through several pages of Q&A and found that it won't hurt lizards (which is very important to my kiddos), but have not seen anything in regards to frogs. We have some awesome Cuban tree frogs that live in our cable boxes on our house right outside our doors. Do you know if frogs/toads are safe around the DE? thanks so much!
- DE will not harm frogs, snakes or earthworms. The tiny sharp diatoms scratch the insects waxy coating resulting in dehydration.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No

Hollywood studios in a retro mood
By Steven Zeitchik
NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - For those ready to move past the endless stream of dark dramas from fall 2007, get ready for a new barrage -- from the 1960s, the 1940s and the 1780s.
Studios are preparing to unleash a hailstorm of period movies -- in broad terms, films set in an era other than the current -- in the fall, at times turning the multiplex circa 2008 into a veritable cinematic museum.
The films range from large studio productions (Clint Eastwood's 1920s missing-child drama "Changeling" and Baz Luhrmann's World War II epic "Australia") to specialty releases (the mid-century Southern tale "The Secret Life of Bees" and the 1960s Catholic-school drama "Doubt").
They veer from costume dramas (the 18th century Keira Knightley quill-and-wig extravaganza "The Duchess") to political sagas (Ron Howard's "Frost/Nixon") to 1950s family dramas (the Sam Mendes-Leonardo DiCaprio collaboration "Revolutionary Road") to biopics (Gus Van Sant's "Milk") to yet more WWII throwbacks (Ed Zwick's "Defiance," Mikael Hafstrom's "Shanghai" and Spike Lee's "Miracle at St. Anna").
"It seems like Hollywood is merging with the History Channel," media critic Robert Thompson noted wryly.
Studios have a long tradition of producing movies set in previous eras, from epics like "Ben-Hur" to intimate stories like "The Ice Storm." But the latest wave of period movies is notable for several reasons.
These movies are coming all at once -- scores of pictures crammed into a period of just 10 or 12 weeks. The stakes and expectations for these movies also are higher because the overall number of fall specialty releases is expected to be down by as much as 25 percent from the nearly 70 titles released last year. And, maybe most critical, these period films are being released at a moment when questions linger from last season about whether the audience can find enough to identify with in fall releases.
That combination is enough to make some executives nervous. "It's a lot of period movies, and it's going to be a question of who'll be able to connect," said one high-ranking arthouse-studio executive releasing a period film. Continued...

FOR RELEASE: Immediate, Thursday, September 13, 2001
Hudson Valley's Football Team Will Play
SUNY Morrisville At La Salle Institute On Saturday
Hudson Valley Community College's football
team will host Northeast Football Conference (NFC) rival SUNY Morrisville
at 1 p.m. on Saturday, September 15. Due to construction of a minor-league
baseball stadium at Hudson Valley, the game will be played at Troy's La
Salle Institute.
The Vikings (1-0) defeated SUNY Canton, 21-0,
on September 9. All-American wide receiver Shawn Miller (Troy H.S.)
had six receptions for 69 yards and two touchdowns to earn NFC Offensive
Player of the Week status. SUNY Morrisville (0-2) is coming off a 26-20
loss to non-league opponent Nassau Community College.
In week three of the 2000 campaign, SUNY Morrisville
captured a 14-12 victory against the Vikings. With five minutes remaining
and Hudson Valley trailing 14-6, the Vikings recovered a SUNY Morrisville
fumble. Gary Jones then scored on a three-yard run, bringing the Vikings
to within two points. Hudson Valley went for the tie on the extra-point
attempt, but Jason Owens' pass fell just beyond Miller's outstretched arms,
Hudson Valley won five of its final six games in
2000, finishing the season with a 6-3 record and winning the NJCAA Region
III title. SUNY Morrisville posted a 6-5 record.
Hudson Valley and SUNY Morrisville have played each
other every year since 1997, with the Mustangs owning a 3-1 edge in the
series. The Vikings came out on top in 1998.
On offense this year, the Vikings are led by Miller,
who holds Hudson Valley's record for receptions in a game (11), and Derrick
Dyer (Roosevelt H.S.), a wide receiver who stands 6-foot-4 and runs
a 4.5-second 40-yard dash. Defensively, second-year inside linebacker Gary
Smith (Concord H.S, DE) had eight tackles and an interception against
SUNY Canton. Smith was part of a strong defensive effort – the Vikings
held SUNY Canton to 96 yards of total offense.
Quarterback Tom Britton, who has passed for 210 yards
and three touchdowns in two games, leads SUNY Morrisville. Britton also
has run for 64 yards and a score. Defensive back Greg Green has recorded
two interceptions.
Hudson Valley's football program was established
in 1969. At the time, Hudson Valley was one of only two junior colleges
in New York to field a varsity football team. Since then, nearly 300 Hudson
Valley football players have earned scholarships to four-year schools and
15 have gone on to play professionally. The Vikings competed in the Coca
Cola Bowl in Iowa in 1980. In 1996, Hudson Valley posted an 8-0 record,
part of a dominant stretch that included 15 straight victories.

BPA: On the way out? Sort of
By Janet Raloff, 17:57 PM May 14, 2009
I ran across a Chicago Trib story noting that the city council voted yesterday to make the Windy City America's first community to ban sales of polycarbonate-plastic baby bottles and "sippy" cups. A lofty claim, but every town and hamlet in Minnesota is actually slated to beat Chicago by 30 days.
Indeed, five days before Chicago did, Minnesota declared it was outlawing baby beverage-ware containing bisphenol-A, the building block of polycarbonate plastic. (For once, the Midwest has beat Cal...

The Mediaeval Baebes
Two years later, Worldes Blysse was released and that, too, became a success on the British charts. Third album Undrentide, which called upon production from the Velvet Underground's John Cale, was issued in fall 2000. Frobusch, Lupton, and Sleet had left the Bæbes family, and Blake's vision had scaled down to nine women. The newly downsized group kept on, scoring the music for the 2000 black comedy American Psycho. A fourth album, The Rose, followed in spring 2002, named in honor of the Medieval symbol of love. Aside from singing in Italian, Latin, German, Middle English, and Medieval French, the Bæbes added Medieval Welsh and Russian to their musical palette. In fall 2003, the John Cale-produced -- and the group's first-ever holiday album -- Mistletoe and Wine was released, their fifth for Nettwerk. By the occasion of 2005's Mirabilis, the Bæbes' lineup included Blake, Casella, Evans, Van Asch, Sapphire, Findley, and newcomers Maple Bee and Emily Ovenden. The album continued their mystical blend of ancient linguistics, folkloric tradition, and lush soundscapes. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi

Interview: Asking Alexandria
Mon, 24 Feb 2014 15:50:41
Asking Alexandria Photos
Asking Alexandria Videos
Asking Alexandria have come a long way. They've clawed their own path to the top of modern hard rock, and their third full-length album, From Death To Destiny, stands out as smoldering and shimmering proof that they're going to be there forever. The reason for their ascent is an old school "Fuck you attitude", mind-blowing songwriting, impressive instrumental chops, and the fact chicks dig them. All of that sounds like the makings of a timeless rock band to us!
Be prepared to see them destroy venues on the Break Down The Walls tour with August Burns Red, We Came as Romans, Crown the Empire, and Born of Osiris this spring.
In this exclusive interview with ARTISTdirect.com editor in chief Rick Florino, guitarist Ben Bruce opens up about From Death to Destiny and so much more.
The risks you take on From Death To Destiny really pay off...
We weren't nervous when we were writing it because we knew it was what we wanted to do. However, I know our label and management were a bit nervous. They were like, "We see what you guys are trying to do, but we don't know if your fans are going to like it". It's risky with songs like "Moving On". We promised it was going to be more radio-friendly, but not fucking bitch music—it's still going to be heavy. I think a lot of people were skeptical, but I'm really happy with how it came out.
From Death To Destiny is what you were always moving towards. Asking Alexandria was meant to be an arena band.
I feel conceited saying it, but I do agree. It's always been our goal to one-up every album we've released previously. We do want to move into arenas. Last year, we did a few arena tours. It went really well. We're still hoping to climb onwards and upwards. We'll continue to push in that direction with future releases as well. For From Death To Destiny, I think we did exactly what we set out to do and we accomplished it. Like you said, it's taken some time for some people to get used to it, but it really seems to have stuck with most people. It's doing really well at radio. Our old fan base loves it. We've gained a lot more new fans. We're doing some huge tours this year to coincide with the release of the album and keep pushing it further. We'll see what happens.
What song from the album speaks to you the most?
I've gotten so attached to all of them because they all tell a very specific story over time in this band. At the moment, I'll probably go with "Moving On". We've been on the road for so long now that it really holds true to its words. It's tough being out on the road, and we do miss home. At the same time, we love it. It's two completely different ideologies. We love being out on the road, but we hate it at the same time. It's a love-hate relationship. That song speaks for itself.
"The Road" captures that riskiness, but it's still Asking Alexandria. It's got attitude.
Exactly! That's another one. I think it just shows a lot of maturity. We've taken what we've experienced ourselves in the band, and we've really gone to town on songwriting and lyrically to paint the most vivid picture we can of our lifestyle and what we've been through as a group of people since 2009 when we first released our debut album. It's still very ballsy. It's still very heavy. It's still got a lot of attitude. It's so much bigger than anything we've ever done before. If you listen to the chorus of "The Road", it's a massive arena anthem song with a serious amount of balls and kick to it.
How did it come together?
It actually started off with the drum beat in the beginning. I had that drum beat in my head. I programmed it into my computer, and I just kept jamming it. I was like, "This is such a cool drum beat. I want to write something to it". That's actually how it started. We went from there. If you listen to the demos of the song, it changed dramatically from where it started to how it ended up on the record. Parts were taken out. Originally, it was a lot heavier. It didn't start with the clean verse it ended up with. It took a turn in the right direction, and it's become one of my favorites for sure.
"Don't Pray For Me" makes for the perfect opener when you play.
We specifically wrote that for live. We wrote this album as a live record. We didn't want to be one of those bands kids go see live and say, "Oh, they didn't pull it off. It's not as good live as it is on the record". We sat down and wrote a live record. We wanted it to be even bigger live if possible. In our minds, "Don't Pray For Me" is the perfect way to open an album and therefore a show.
You harness a chaos and control it. That makes the impact even more real. You don't hold anything back.
Exactly, I think that's why people have clicked with us so much. We've always been honest and very upfront and forward. We don't sing or write about things we don't understand directly. What people choose to take away from these songs is their opinion and take on it. We go all out. We're very open and honest. "Don't Pray For Me" is written specifically about one of the lowest points in our career—to the extent of putting live audio in the track of the infamous Seattle show that almost broke up our band. Kids really do see the honesty and the love and passion we have for fans that we put into our music. I hope that's why we're doing so well at the moment whether it's in the States, UK, Europe, Australia, or South Africa. Everyone can relate to what we're saying in some way.
Was it important to embrace the electronic elements more this time around?
It was important to me because being the primary songwriter since Stand Up and Scream days we started off as this band that had a lot of electronics. It was a very different influence back then. We had a lot of rave and trance in our songs. We were still young, and I was still learning how to be a songwriter I guess. I still am. Back then, it was very much, "We're going to play heavy music and halfway through the song it stops, and we'll have an electronic section and go back into the heavy section again". It just didn't work for me. It did what it needed to do, but it didn't flow right in my head. With Reckless & Relentless, I tried to concentrate a little bit more on it, and From Death To Destiny, I figured out a way to make it constant throughout the songs and not just two genres thrown into one thing. It's a whole big mixture. We've made them work really together to where you can't really tell if you're listening to an industrial album, a trance section, a metal section, or a rock song section. It's all its own thing.
It gives the girls something to move to...
Exactly! Women are an important part of rock 'n' roll [Laughs]. We used to be called "Bitches", but it was like, "Think about it guys?" [Laughs] We're the bitches of metal!
Do you feel like North America is really home for Asking Alexandria?
I think we just fell in love with it. To begin with, we were in England. We sat down as a group and asked, "Are we going to do this? Are we actually going to go for this? Or, are we going to be one of those fucking bands that plays local shows for the next ten years, pretends we gave it our all, really tries, and gets bummed out it didn't work?" We all were on the same page. We wanted to put our all into it. The States is a huge market. It's one of the biggest in the world. We were like, "We can tour the UK for two weeks and be done or we can go to the States and play in front of way more people for a much longer time and hopefully come out with a bang and have a much bigger impact!" We came to the States when we were very young with that plan of taking over even though we didn't know how we were going to do it. We never left. I married the girl I met in the first few months of being here. We all fall in love with the States, and it's our home away from home now.
What have you been listening to lately?
I've been listening to a lot of music at the moment from rap and country to pop, metal, and rock. It's hard for me to say what I've been listening to because it's really varied. I've been listening to a lot of old Slipknot again. I never stopped loving them, but I fell in love with them again recently. They were my favorite band growing up, and I stumbled on their debut album not too long ago again. I was like, "Shit, I forgot how good this was!" There's been a lot of Slipknot in my music diet at the moment. They're one of the strongest metal bands around, and they have been since day one. They're a huge influence to us not just musically either, but their attitude. They came out and they were like, "Fuck you. All heads point in our direction. Everybody's looking at us". We wanted to have the same impact. I heard they just started writing for the next record, and I'm really excited to hear what they come up with! Apparently, it's heavy as fuck.
People forget they fucking came out in the nineties! That's insane to me because that's when grunge came and ruined everything. It got rid of rock 'n' roll. The fact Guns N' Roses put out the Use Your Illusion records in the nineties is fucking badass because it went to show how strong they were as a group. While everyone else was getting fucked over by Kurt Cobain, these guys came out with middle fingers blazing and still wrote some kickass jams.

United managed to beat Pompey 5-0 at Old Trafford on Saturday.
"We had a lot of pressure and possession of the ball but we were patient enough," he said.
"That's important when teams come and sit in the way they did here today.
"Portsmouth were there to make it difficult but we got the goal just before half-time.
"We were a bit fortunate with the second one. Nani beat his man and was trying to play a cross across the box.
"It got a deflection and went past James and into the net. It was fortunate but nonetheless you have to take them. That opened the game for us in the second half.

Emirates Chairman defends its decision not to move the planes to Al Maktoum International Airport during the 80-day period.
Despite estimated revenue hits of Dh1 billion following the grounding of several Emirates aircraft during runway works at Dubai International Airport, the airlines Chairman has defended its decision not to move the planes to Al Maktoum International Airport during the 80-day period.
At the moment, the Emirates model is in one place. Al Maktoum International, with the existing terminal today, does not have aerobridges, so with Emirates operating larger aircraft it would be difficult to run operations on this site, Shaikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum said on Tuesday.
With about 10 per cent of Emirates commercial jets grounded, upgrade works at the airport began on May 1 with runways being closed alternatively the southern runway from May 1 to May 31, and the northern runway from May 31 to July 20.
During a round table discussion on day two of the Arabian Travel Market, Shaikh Ahmed said the new airport was not fully equipped to take on the airline larger fleet at present and said the huge dent on revenue was unavoidable as the airline was not willing to compromise on safety.
Sometimes you have to accept these things. This is not something that happens to Emirates every one or two years, it is happening for the first time after more than 20 years, so we accept it and move on.
And in regards to when Emirates will make its imminent move over to Dubai World Centrals (DWC) Al Maktoum International, Shaikh Ahmed said preparations are still ongoing.
I think when the facility is ready for Emirates to have its terminal, to take on its capacity, we will move.
From the time on-ground construction works begin on the terminal, Shaikh Ahmed said it will take between five to seven years to finish the project, but was unable to clarify a specific start or completion date during the meeting.
He added that once the transition of all airline operations to DWC is finalised, Dubai International will still run as an airport.
You have to think down the road as to what the capacity in Dubai will be at that time. The site will not be sold on for anything else. Dubai will always operate two airports in parallel with each other.
Hopeful that Dubai will meet its target of 20 million visitors by 2020, Shaikh Ahmed said the citys infrastructure is well geared up for the influx, with the implantation of three and four star hotels supporting this target.
I dont think we will have an issue reaching this figure.
Crowded skies
When asked how the airline is addressing the issue of crowding in the sky, Shaikh Ahmed said the key is to look to the future and intercept any future problems around the whole region.
Safety is something that you cannot compromise on. We are working very closely on a federal level with the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) to look at re-planning the FIR air traffic movement in the UAE, and the region.
He also said the addition of more airlines in the region has not stunted Emirates growth.
If we had any doubt about air crowding affecting future ventures, we would not have made such large volumes of orders over the past few years.
Today marks the penultimate day of the 21st edition of ATM. Noted as the largest ever travel trade show in the region, doors will be open from 10am-6pm daily at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Jeremy Lamb scored 26 points, grabbed eight rebounds as the Oklahoma City used a big fourth quarter to beat the Brooklyn Nets 98-84 to get their first summer league victory of the season.
The Thunder picked up five points in the standings, pushing them from ninth to fifth. It's a long shot but the Thunder still have an outside shot of winning a spot in the championship game, they'll need a lot of help, but there is potential to get into there. They'll have to sweep all seven points on Wednesday.
Oklahoma City and Brooklyn played a close game throughout a majority of the game, it wasn't until the fourth quarter when the Thunder put the Nets out to pasture. Lamb and Mitch McGary were a deadly combination for the Thunder, combining for 44 points and 21 rebounds. Tulsa 66er Mario Little, who finished with 18 in the previous game, hit three Thunder Money Balls to help push the Thunder to a big fourth quarter.
A 21-6 run for the Thunder over the span of 6:44. It turned the game from a 1-point deficit into a dominating Thunder advantage. It was the type of thing we became used to seeing throughout the season, but led by Kevin Durant. Oklahoma City found a rhythm, and will look to continue into their final game.
Some thoughts on performances, good and bad:
- McGary continues to show why Oklahoma City drafted him, scoring 18 points and pulling down 13 rebounds. He threw down a nice sky hook for a solid offensive game. He even had a block shot and a couple of steals for the rookie. It'll be nice to see him continue this into the final game with Steven Adams returning from rest.
- Little's 3-point assault is something Oklahoma City has missed. It's nice, but inconsistent. I would like to see it come a little bit more in rhythm and not forcing as he does sometimes. There will be some falling back behind Semaj Christon when he returns. We could see that happen in Tulsa as well. Oklahoma City is benefiting from Little's deep threat, through.
- Marcus Lewis had 13 points in the opening quarter and barely touched the ball after that. He was scoring at will, but couldn't adjust to the Nets adjustments.
Oklahoma City has Tuesday off. They'll play the Indiana Pacers at 2 p.m. CST on Wednesday.

Home»Maharashtra»Mumbai» Dead ' Marathi Actress Alka Punewar Traced To Chennai With Lover Days After Her Mangled Car Was Recovered From A 700-Feet Gorge In Khopoli, Mumbai
SHOCKING: 'Dead ' Marathi actress traced days after her mangled car was discovered in a 700-ft gorge
- Dailybhaskar.com
- Jan 08, 2014, 21:03 PM IST
Mumbai:Marathi actress Alka Punewar, who went 'missing' on her way to Uran in Navi Mumbai ten days ago is learnt to have 'faked' her death and made it look like an accident. Marathi theatre artist, Punewar, who has done couple of small-roles in Bollywood was on Tuesday traced to Chennai, said reports.
Officials of Mumbai Police reportedly said that Punewar faked her death so that she could elope with her lover Alok Paliwal. The latter was, however, unaware that Punewar was already married to Sanjay Punewar, a resident of Ghodbunder Road. Reports say that the actress was married twice and had a married daughter and twins too.
Punewar decided to fake her death because she wanted to marry Paliwal and settle down with him in Bangalore. Together, they hatched a planto make her death look like an accident.
Daily News and Analysis reports: Alka had left her home on December 27 for a stage show to Uran after which she was scheduled to reach Pune for another show. After the actress went missing, her car was found in a mangled state from a 700-feet deep gorge at Khopoli on December 30.
The mystery was solved when the Mumbai police crime branch traced their mutual friend Sanjay Sonkar and picked him up from his Panvel residence for questioning.
Allegedly, he confessed his role in the episode and narrated all the events that had transpired between the night of December 27 and the morning of December 28.
A Mumbai police crime branch officer said that Alka's phone call records led them to her boyfriend Alok Paliwal, and later to Sanjay Sonkar, since a lot of calls were exchanged between them on the day that Alka went "missing".
On December 27, Alka, Alok and Sonkar first went to Koparkhairane, where they discussed the plan, after which Alka was dropped at the CST railway station.
Later, Sonkar and Paliwal went to Khopoli, and on the way, they sent a text message to Alka's husband Sanjay from her phone, so that examination of phone call records would indicate that she was in Khopoli.
Allegedly, both of them then pushed Alka's car, which had been bought on a second hand basis three days earlier, into a ravine in Khopoli and also threw her phone there. Sonkar returned to his Panvel residence, while Alka and Paliwal travelled separately to Pune, from where they first went to Bangalore and later to Chennai.
The Crime Branch has handed over Sonkar to the Kopri police in Thane which had registered a case for further inquiries, while a Thane police team left for Chennai to locate Alka and Paliwal on Tuesday evening.
No decision has been taken whether to arrest them for misleading the police or not, the police said.

The Pirates and Wenches Fantasy Weekend is this weekend in Rock Hall. Due to circumstances beyond my control the best I could do (If possible) would to sail over for Sunday only. Is anyone familiar with this? Would it be worth just going on Sunday or are they mostly just wrapping it up then?
Wow, this post is a year old. Didn't make it there last year but we're really considering it again. This year we even have a dinghy to take along. Any suggestions, thoughts?

First year we went by car..second year we went by boat. We anchored in Swan Creek in the multitude of boats. We brought along bicycles..glad we did..'cause with all the traffic..that was the best way to get around.
Bottom line..got to crowded..first few years was bearable..now to many to contend with..

Did NOT do that, bought the t-shirt after all was quiet again.
I will be LEAVING Rock Hall for that weekend. :)
Swampcreek, if you have a dinghy and dress like a pirate, I understand there's some sort of dinghy race from the harbor to the beach. I'm hoping they don't close down the channel before we can escape.
Have fun if you make it this year!
Sounds utterly appalling.
Rock Hall is trying to survive the transition from being a working waterman's town to a tourist town after the fishing industry that supported it for the past couple of hundred years collapsed. They have to compete with every other town on the Bay doing the same thing. If it brings $ to the locals, so be it.

..and the town locals use this as an excuse to get drunk and unruly under the watchful eye and glee of the tourist. Was fun the first time around..not for me now..

Oh I understand why the town would like the concept and yep, you need some way to keep a small town's economy alive. I'm just too much of an anti social old killjoy to find anything good to think about it beyond the bucks. Reality is though that lots of folks like these kind of festivals and to every one their own. Lets face it, I'd rather have the mongol hordes Pirate and Wenching than wanting to drop anchor in some nice quite little cove.
Sydney Harbour is renowned for its NewYear fireworks. The harbour is wall to wall boats, biggest night of the year. We found an anchorage from which you cannot see the fireworks. Perfect NewYear for the anti social. Empty anchorage. :)
We made it...
We were going to head somewhere else for the weekend but on the way out Friday I called a friend and he asked where I was at. I said I was getting ready to go out on the boat after I get my supply of bow lights (My boat eats them up). He said he was docked at Rock Hall, so I told the crew we were going after all, she was fine with that as long as we were sailing somewhere, since we had a particular destination and were now running late for a particular destination we left the dinghy home.
Arrived at Rock Hall late Friday afternoon and tied to the city dock one boat away from our friends. We met up and had dinner & more than a few drinks, went to bed late.
Saturday morning we awoke to cannon thunder. We got up went to our friends boat and had breakfast. They had been there before so they were more ready than us (They had pirate clothes). We walked around and did touristy stuff, joined the dinghy water soaker mahem in the harbor, went to the beach to watch the dinghy race later we went to the bar for drinks...Then the weather changed, the wind started to pick up blowing dead against the dock. We were back onboard our freinds boat preparing to stream some shrimp when the harbor started to get rough with incresing winds. I went to check our boat and had to adjust and add bumpers, then added throw cushions, my Wife came over and saw I was basically stuck watching the boat, as the weather kicked up even more our freinds who have a much larger boat alongwith almost everyone else on the dock joined the fight with their boats. Some of the larger boats received horrible damage from bashing the dock we were basically unscathed due to sacraficing throw cushions and using every bumper aboard (WE WILL BE BUYING LARGER BUMPERS NEXT TIME WE GO TO THE STORE), we were also lucky to be at the boats when this all started. Dinner cancelled as contingency plans commenced, we decided that when the next lull happened and we could break free from the dock we would call it a weekend. When our chance came at sundown we broke out of the harbor into open water and headed home across the bay. Although the waves were much larger in the bay we were away from fixed objects and other boats, my Wife was cool with the whole event even laughing when I was drenched by a wave that came over the side (A few years ago this would have totally freaked her out!). We docked up in our slip around 11:00PM.
So either the weather and/or economy must have kept many away because it didn't seem too crowded. Everyone we ran into was really nice, the people dressing up as pirates were having fun and in really good spirits and there is nothing wrong with that. We will go back next year. We will NOT use the dock, we all have decided to anchor/raft on the flats, we will bring the dinghy, super soakers, and yes...probably PIRATE CLOTHES!!!!
To steal the phrase from one of my favorite restaurants (Hooters) it is delightfully tacky.
