I'm not implying that's all there is to it, not by any means.
I am just reading about the highly sensitive temperatment, and, for myself, I see it relating to my depression, in several ways and wonder what everyone else's scores are.
I posted the quiz on my blog, if you are interested.
Helping women overcome postpartum depression and birth trauma. http://www.postmommyhood.com
I got 17. I would agree that I'm highly sensitive.
I got 20, and yes, I agree and am told I am sensitive
Yes, I would say that being highly sensitive is one of the symptoms
mommies experience with postnatal depression.
To be able to recognize other symptoms of this condition and get
help right away, here are some important steps I could share with
1. Notice your mood. If you find yourself frequently feeling sad
or crying for no reason following the birth, it could be a symptom
of postpartum depression.
2. Keep track of your sleep patterns. If you have disrupted and
restless sleep because of anxiety over the baby, then you should
speak to a doctor.
3. Examine your feelings. Feelings of rejection, hopelessness and
loss are all symptoms of postpartum depression. Thoughts of death
and suicide are all common in women suffering from this condition.
4. Note your energy level. If you have a lack of energy and no
interest in sex following the birth of your child, you may have
postpartum depression.
I hope this helps.
Here's a cool article that you might find helpful:How to Build Awareness in Postpartum Depression.
I got an 18 and did go through postpartum depression. I also went through some major depression in college. I know I'm a sensitive person and for the most part I'm alright with that. I think it is closely entangled with depression for myself if I get really overstimulated on a constant basis I dive deep within myself. It's taken a lot of work to learn how not to get stuck there, which, for me was so much of my depression. Being stuck in such a deep retreat within myself. Not sure if that makes sense. :)

factory reconditioned tools
Can anyone tell me what factory reconditioned actually means. I know that its a tool that had to go back to the factory for defects that was fixed, but does the shell of something like say a drill have any scratches on it from previous use or something or is the entire tool for the most part replaced and pretty much new?
They have been used, but all the working parts have been checked and any defective ones have been replaced. Any and all bushing or triggers and switches have been replaced.
They are usually a pretty good deal. Kinda like a Pawn shop but with a warranty.
Got a refurb 12.5 Delta planer.......works perfect.
It depends on why/when it was returned
Some have never really been used
Some have
I've purchased several recons, and (knocking on wood) have not had a bad experience, yet. I think its important to read the fine print from where you order it...to see what happens when/if you need work done. FWIW, the certified repair shops generally don't give a rats if its recon or not if the item has a warranty you have the receipt and proof of purchase. They do the work with out question.
I've bought both recon and new. You can get a great deal sometimes on recon, but you need to be ready to screw around. Case and point, I just bought a DeWalt portable air compressor off ebay from an almost local place (60 miles away) that offered reconditioned units. Decided it was cheaper to have it shipped than drive the truck to pick it up (and take time off from work, they had a "handling charge" for pick ups, etc).
When it arrived, I proceeded to set it up. It was an oil filled unit so I removed the dipstick and wondered why I could see the ground. The unit's sump was totally destroyed! The box was undamaged. This thing had a roll cage around it, so how the hell did this happen? My only guess was that it was reboxed and never fixed. They just sent it back out.
The good news was, the place I bought it from replaced it (I drove there to return the crap one and inspect the replacement) no questions asked. They did say that UPS throws these things around and that's how it must have happened...maybe. I don't care for UPS, but the box was undamaged, so unless they opened the box, broke it and reboxed it, I doubt it was UPS.
Moral of the story is, sometimes you have to screw around with recon units but you can save some cash doing so.
Refurb = crapshoot. If you aren't willing to take the risk (of buying a poorly functioning item) for the possible reward (getting it cheaper) then definitely don't buy refurbs.
My cousin worked at a refurb intake center for a certain electronics brand.
Given the manufacturing standards that went into their new products, you were actually better off with a refurb since it had a trained American technician go over it much more carefully than the QC people did in China where it was boxed up and shipped out. Your chances of getting a lemon were about 1-20 when buying new- they were almost nil when buying a refurb.
Of course, refurb outlets with lax standards mean that the refurbs are usually junk, since the "technicians" don't vet the returns very thoroughly. They'll turn it on, run it for five seconds and if it doesn't seem to be doing anything wrong, they'll box it back up and call it OK (even when it may not be)
I bought a refurb Grundig shortwave radio that had to go back twice- they eventually just sent me a new one, but by the time I was done paying for shipping, I was actually operating in the red compared to if I had just bought a new one to begin with.
Conversely, I have a set of Skil 18v refurbs that I've worked very, very hard and they've held up better than certain "contractor" grade tools.
In short, it's dicey- it might pay off, it might not.

Terror Experts: Boston Could Happen Again
While investigators try to figure out why the Boston Marathon Bombers turned against the country they were living in, terror experts in Texas have their own theories. They also have a warning for the rest of us.
While authorities try to get answers from Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, former FBI agent James Conway told KTRH you don't have to look far to find a reason why he bombed the country he pledged allegiance to last September. In fact, you don't have to look any further than the desk in your home office.
"With the radicalization that takes place online today, their reach could be anywhere, including Boston," Conway said. "The common denominator is being provided by the internet. It's basically cyber-radicalization."
Conway says it's not easy to keep track of everything that is being said online.
"It's a hard target. It's going to continue to be a hard target. This is sort of the trend of the future," Conway explained.
If that isn't scary enough, Dr. Jeffrey Addicott of the Center for Terrorism law at St. Mary's tells KTRH this may not be an isolated incident.
"There are thousands of others living in the United States that have pledged allegiance to radical Islam. How many of them will carry out their beliefs is a different question. It will come to pass again," Addicott warned.
Officials say they don't have enough information to say the Boston bombings are tied to Al Qaeda, but Addicott says KTRH it doesn't matter.
"It's a name that we associate with radical Islamic extremism. But they are linked by ideology if not by directly in contact with senior leaders of Al Qaeda," Addicott stated.

Home-town joy after Berlin failure
Page Tools
Nick Harrison shows delight as he wins the Melbourne Marathon.
Photo: Vince Caligiuri
TWO weeks ago, Nick Harrison ran the Berlin Marathon with the intention of earning selection in next year's Commonwealth Games team. He failed; so yesterday, Harrison turned his attention to the Melbourne Marathon, charging home along St Kilda Road to the Arts Centre spire to win his home-town race in two hours 23 minutes 29 seconds. Melbourne 2006 became Melbourne 2005.
Sherryn Rhodes was first woman home in 2:50:35. With all times on the Frankston to Melbourne course slowed by a blustery wind, Rhodes did not achieve a personal-best. But with her third win in the race following earlier successes in 1998 and 2002, she did become the race's first three-time winner since Andrew Lloyd in 1979-81.
Harrison caught Magnus Michelsson, who was bidding for a hat-trick of wins, as the pair turned out of Fitzroy Street into St Kilda Road for the run to the finish. Michelsson had led by almost three minutes at halfway and by two at 30 kilometres. At the beach end of Fitzroy Street, the lead was still almost 300 metres.
It was Michelsson who had put the thought of Melbourne in Harrison's head. He had also run in Berlin but didn't finish.
"He said something like, 'Never mind, I'll go home and run Melbourne now'," Harrison recalled yesterday. "I thought, 'Not a bad idea. I might try and beat you there'."
The only time he felt the effect of two marathons in a fortnight was late in the race. "The last 10 kilometres was hard," Harrison said. "I could feel Berlin in my legs."
Andrew Walters of Queensland also got past the tiring Michelsson in the last few kilometres, beating him for second, 2:26:40 to 2:27:57.
Rhodes always had looked the winner of the women's race, though at times in the first half of it she had trailed Kylie Dick by up to 50 metres. Rhodes eventually took control and won by almost two minutes, 2:50:35 to 2:52:16. Vanessa Smith was third in 2:54:12.
Ian Rohde was the first wheelchair athlete across the line.
■Martin Dent, winner of the national cross-country title just over a month ago, won the Burnie Ten road race yesterday in 29 minutes 34 seconds. Dent outsprinted Lee Troop by three seconds, the fourth consecutive year Troop has finished second. World championships marathon representative Scott Westcott was third.
Commonwealth Games marathon champion Kerryn McCann was first woman home in 33:39, some 44 seconds ahead of Anna Thompson. Susan Michelsson was third in 34:32.

Many voters may be puzzled as to why the media is picking over the suggestion that a seemingly obscure panjandrum in Britain's third party is a groper.
But the Westminster chattering classes know Chris Rennard as the secret of the Liberal Democrats' recent successes, a backroom guru influential at its London headquarters for decades - the Rasputin of the Liberals. Unlike the swarthy mystic who mesmerised the Imperial Court of Russia with his hypnotic eyes, the 52-year-old peer is unimposing; podgy, bespectacled and balding.
But inside headquarters in Cowley St, round the corner from the Houses of Parliament, he was just as commanding - and feared.
He ruled the party machine as Director of Campaigns and Elections between 1989 and 2002 and as chief executive from 2003 to 2009.
His greatest achievement was transforming the Lib-Dems from the also-rans of British politics into a credible election-winning force. In 2010, he left the party with sufficient seats to sweep into power for the first time in generations.

China's grip on news under attack
Guangzhou, China
Page Tools
It could have been the scoop of the year: the Deputy Governor of Henan province had reportedly conspired with a local mayor to have his wife killed and chopped up. If proven, the murder would rank as one of the worst crimes by a senior official for decades.
But the story was a minefield. Knowing how many papers have been closed down, and how many journalists arrested, for covering such sensitive topics, most editors gave Henan a wide berth.
The exception was the Nanfang (Southern) Daily Press Group, whose papers are increasingly earning national respect, and official condemnation, for their coverage of China's social ills.
When reports of the killing emerged last month, reporters from two of the group's flagship titles, the Southern Metropolitan Daily and Southern Weekend, flew to the provincial capital, Zhengzhou, and talked to the victim's family, colleagues and detectives.
Off-the-record sources confirmed the murder and arrest, but a request for an official comment effectively killed the story. Henan's propaganda department ordered a news blackout.
It was nothing new. That week, three other Southern Weekend stories were spiked by the authorities. Nothing was published on police negligence in floods that killed 100 schoolchildren, nor on six villagers murdered in battles with gangs recruited by power companies to kick them off their land, nor poor safety planning that led to a fire in which 31 died.
"As a journalist, my job should be focused on writing a good report. But half of my effort is spent on considering how to get a story past the censors and the likelihood of punishment," said Liu Jianqiang, whose Henan story was spiked.
The risks are great. Last year, three editors from the Nanfang group were imprisoned on fraud charges, an act of revenge by the local public security bureau embarrassed by scoops about police brutality and corruption.
But the system that nurtured so many good journalists is still in place. Guangdong was one of the first provinces to open to the outside world. Reflecting its modern business environment, the Southern Weekend blazed a trail in 1992 when its parent company, a party-controlled propaganda organ, transformed what had been a four-page celebrity gossip sheet into a hard-hitting news weekly.
It was a huge success. The Nanfang Weekend now has a 1.3 million circulation nationwide. By breaking stories before officialdom had a chance to censor them, it and sister papers such as the Southern Metropolitan Daily and The Beijing News, have had more influence than others in shaping public debate on the dramatic social changes taking place in China.

was wondering about these due in part to another thread thanks, keep us informed of the fixing of problems. <><dk
I posted a review on the "first shot" forum, but thought it might be useful here too.
I'll paraphrase my original post, since it's still on the other forum......
I bought the Armscor M200, the 4" .38 revolver made in the Phillipines by Armscor, also makers of the popular Rock Island 1911A1's.
Overall, it's what I would call an awesome "training-practice-fun" revolver, but I wouldn't carry or keep it for protection, personally, because I have so many other better handguns, rifles, shotguns for that purpose, including S&W, Ruger and Colt DA .38 and .357 revolvers.
I was pretty excited by the performance of the Armscor, it is an accurate revolver that feels good in the hand.
However, what keeps me from putting this in the "personal defense" category is that my particular revolver will over-time (overthrow) the cylinder past the bolt stop on fast DA or if I really yank the hammer back in SA......a good revolver should not leave the factory this way. I contacted Armscor's US office in Navada and they said they would fix it free if I sent it back, good customer service but again, a new revolver shouldn't have this problem.
I did take the sideplate off, and played with the bolt stop spring and it was a little off center in the groove where it rides. Thinking a weak bolt stop spring may be the cause of the cylinder overthrow, I decided to try to clean it as the action was caked in cosmo.
It did overthrow LESS after I cleaned and repositioned the spring, but it still does it. I have ID'd the problem, though. I am going to take a chance and order a Colt Cobra bolt stop spring, since the Armscors are roughly copies of this revolver. Maybe a stronger spring will stop the over-throw and make this a 100% reliable revolver.
Still, for a little more money you can get something better if you don't own many guns. I am an obsessive collector of service revolvers and couldn't turn down a 4" .38 for $250, and I think these are good buys overall and I have run 300+ rounds through mine already and it's lots of fun to shoot. Just a couple glitches I can fix myself and I'll have a nice little "knockaround" range shooter. I shoot very often, and buy as much .38 Special as I can, and don't like to put 1,000's of rounds through my nicer vintage Smith .38's. As much as I love my .357's I prefer the feel and pointability of a 4" .38 medium frame revolver.
The frame is alloy, so we'll see how it holds up to lots of shooting. I woudn't shoot any +P's in this, but I don't see this revolver going much more than 5,000 rounds until something will need to be fixed. Maybe 10,000+ and there will probably be an issue with frame stretching. But, still, enjoy your nice vintage Smith and Colt revolvers and buy stuff like the Armscor for punching paper, it's more than up to task for this role, the jury's still out as to whether I would even keep it as a glove box gun though. I read that the Phillipines and other Asiatic countries use these as police and security sidearms, not sure what to make of that, but maybe I just got a lemon with a timing glitch. Still, I like it enough to look for the 4" all-steel version, supposedly these are made with tough tool-grade steel frames and barrels, and have no underlug. The reasons they went with an alloy frame for a 4" supposed "duty gun" doesn't make sense to me.
was wondering about these due in part to another thread thanks, keep us informed of the fixing of problems. <><dk
I read that "some" Colt D frame grips will fit on the Armscor revolvers, not sure what "some" means......I would like to put a set of Pachmayr shorty "Gripper Jr.'s" on the Armscor, made for the Colt D frames like the Detective, Agent and Cobra. The stock grips are just cheap plastic, and I don't feel the need to put woods on this alloy frame revolver. I also think a set of huge Goodyears like Hogue or big Pachmayrs would ruin the look and feel. I may just try a set of aftermarket Sile grips, or try to get a set of the factory woods that come on the snubbies.
It sounds strange, but I think they use frames that have been nicked in production near the grips or have casting imperfections for the 4" since much of the upper area near the grip frame is covered by the plastic "combat grip", not so in the snub. My 4" has a large nick right on the border of the grip frame, that has been parkerized over so it must have occured during production.
Still working on and off, when time permits, on the Armscor M200. Fixing it is not a priority, since I don't rely on it for carry or anything, but I did some tinkering with it.
I found a Wolff spring, looks like a firing pin spring, for one of my auto pistols that I guess I never installed, and replaced the stock bolt stop spring on the M200. It was thinner and longer, but it works well and the revolver no longer "overthrows" on a hard SA hammer pull. It still does it periodically on fast DA, but now it "under-throws" on DA, where the cylinder now stops between chambers sometimes. The fact that it doesn't so it on SA means I think I'm making headway. My next step is to try and install a Colt Cobra, Agent or Police Positive bolt stop spring, all of which are available from Numrich for $2 or so. The makeshift spring works, but I am not comfortable shooting it much with a bolt stop spring that is not the right size. I test fired it with 18 rounds, but I hope a Colt spring will fix it.
In short, the stock bolt stop spring was a piece of crap! It looked cheap like something you would find inside a cap gun.
By the time I get this gun 100% I'll probably have had the sideplate off 50 times and have had various springs in it. Good thing I bought this as a "blaster" or I would be unhappy. Once I get it working 100% I think I will be happy with it, but in the future, if I want to get a new revolver as a "shooter" I will be looking for a used Ruger! I spent $250 on this "NIB" Armscor and it no doubt will be outlasted by a Ruger Speed Six I bought used (very used!) recently for $300, that already probably has had more rounds through it than any Armscor could take without falling apart and no doubt will last through any amount of rounds I will put through it. So, be wise with your "gun dollars" and don't be afraid to buy used!
I won't miss a beat getting a used Ruger or Smith (without the Hillary Hole). Others, not so much, unless I can tell for sure that they have a lot of life left and are reasonably priced. I always like to dry-fire them (if possible) through all six (or however many) chambers, both SA and DA. If there's a little too much slop in the cylinder I'll pass, but I've never found that in a Ruger or Smith.
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand, to live and die in Dixie!
Here's a review of the Armscor 206 38 spl.
It seems to be a steel revolver, not alloy, and is investment cast. One reviewer found a defect in the lockup pin mounting, its loose, but nobody else has complained about it.
211 BC: I swear by Jupiter Optimus Maximus .... in the army of the consul Gnaeus Fulvius Centumalus Maximus and for 10 miles around it I will not steal anything worth more than a denarius in any one day.
2016 AD: To enhance our community's aggregate through multi-platform metrics of media synergy catalyzing integrated outcomes of macro-disciplines toward inclusive methodology paradigms generating positive algorithms of unwavering commitment to our children, the flag, and God.
Mine is pretty tight, actually tightened up with the new bolt stop spring. I am anxious to see how a spring from a Colt DS/Agent/Cobra works in this revolver.
The frames are advertised as a cast alloy. The frame attracts a magnet, for what that's worth, but most of the info I have seen say the 200 and 206 have an alloy frame. The M102 or whatever it is, the earlier model with no underlug, is all steel.
Given the cheaper construction I don't think I would buy another Armscor, unless my M200 really starts impressing me. I like the revolver, came close to loving it, as a fun shooter, if I can "break it in" and get it to work 100%.
I do not like to put many thousands of rounds on my nicer revolvers, particularly those not made anymore like my older Smith Model 10's or Colt Police Positive, so look to those made by companies like Armscor or Taurus for "range-practice-fun" guns.
I know this is an old thread but I think my info is pertinent. Bought a 206 from Numrich through Auction Arms. Took it right out to the range after running a dry patch through barrel and chambers. Fired first six rounds. Shot well, very slightly below point of aim at 10 yards but centered. When I attempted to remove the spent cartridges they would not come out. Had to pound them out. Only shot 24 rounds. Took the gun home and cleaned it. In each chamber there were striations. Looked like corduroy. Took it took a pretty good gunsmith in my area the next day and asked him to look. He said that it appeared to him that the chambers were never finished. Emailed Numrich and told them I was going to give them at least neutral feedback. They emailed me back and said sorry and they would let management know. In other words, pack salt. I emailed Armscor and got a totally different reaction. They said they would email me a slip to FedEx it back to them and they promptly did that. While I'm disappointed with the revolver I'm really impressed with the Armscor customer service. I really hope they can fix this revolver or send me a new one. It reminds me so much of a second gen Colt Agent which I very foolishly sold and the first revolver I was ever issued, a Colt Cobra.

Blame Game HTML version
Dealing with Failure (3 of 3)
Sun 22 Mar 2009 AM « Back to Top
The origin of the Blame Game is failure. Blame places the responsibility for a
failure/mistake on people or circumstances. We all fail, we need to admit that. Take
responsibility and acknowledge failure so that God can lift you up, and you can change.
Look at some of the glorious mistakes & failures recorded in the Bible, then discover
powerful keys for handling our failures and moving on.
I want to just conclude this series I've been doing on the Blame Game. How many are
much more aware of people blaming? [Laughter] Man, isn't it everywhere! It's not my
fault. It's not my fault, and someone else did it, it's someone else is responsible to fix it,
it's always out there, someone else's fault. It's the people, it's the circumstances, it's
where I've come from, it's my family, it's the government, it's New Zealand, it's the
world. Whatever it is, it's always out there. If it's out there, you can't do anything, but if
you actually own up, you can actually do something, if you take ownership. In this next
season in the year, we're going to be looking at what it means to be apostolic people,
and you'll find to be an apostolic person means you have taken a hold in your heart, that
you have an assignment from God, and you will assume responsibility to fulfil your
assignment in the community. So if you buy in to the blame game, you can never be
what God called you to be. You have to recognise that buying into the blame game - by
that I mean that we're blaming someone else for problems, and believing someone else
is going to have to fix it up. When you buy into that, you remain a victim, you remain
powerless, you cannot be part of the answer that God wants us to be. We have to
absolutely reject the blame game, in every form, and say: I am going to be part of the
answer, I'm going to be part of the solution.
So what I want to do today is, I want to share another aspect of the blame game. I'm
going to go back to where it started, and isn't it amazing, it started when someone
failed. The blame game, passing the buck. That's what it's called here, pass the buck
you know? I liked it with Barack Obama. I liked it when he said: well the buck stops
here! [Yeah.] I like that. That's good leadership, and that's the indications of a man
who's going to do something about things. I like that.
He said: something went wrong. He said: it's my responsibility, I'll work on it to make it
right. That's good stuff. That's a man who's not playing the victim. It's a man who stood
up and said he's going to be part of the solution. You want to see these kinds of things.
It's like a new thing happening, instead of blaming everyone else for the problems. So
we're going to look at the blame game, and what I want to look at today is: dealing with
failure. Is there anyone here who hasn't failed? I'd just like to meet them and shake their
hand, it'd be quite nice actually. [Laughter] Sort of was hoping I might find someone
here. Often in churches there's sort of this thing that you can't fail, because you're a

Christmas is almost here! The days seem to be speeding by at a pace I can hardly keep up with. Every year I promise myself to save more, get more organized and be ready for Christmas before it gets here.
Well, guess what? I've remained true to form and I'm faced with another hustle- and bustle-filled holiday with a mile-long list of people I still need to buy for.
If you are anything like me, there are always a few on that list who just seem impossible to buy for. They generally already have it and if they don't, they just go out and buy what they want!
I am always on the lookout for a meaningful gift for that "hard-to-buy-for" person. Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio has a perfect gift option for Christmas or any time of the year.
Rather than fighting the crowds to find that perfect gift for your loved one, why not make a donation in their honor to Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio? Then all you have to do is sit back and relax. Habitat will take care of the rest! The recipient will receive a card notifying them of your donation in their honor. Amounts are not disclosed.
And to top it all off, you both get the satisfaction of knowing that your gift from the heart will help us build a house!
For more information, give us a call at 210-223-5203.
Happy holidays and happy gifting.

Annual Young Eagles event continues June 15
GREENVILLE — A partnership was developed to help give children the opportunity to fly and experience aviation all over the nation.
On June 15, the "I Can Fly" event will be held in Greenville to give local children a chance to fly in a 20 minute flight around Greenville.
The seventh annual Young Eagles event will begin at 8 a.m. on June 15 at the Greenville Airport.
"This gives young kids an opportunity they might not get otherwise," said Events Director Kris Kropf.
If the weather permits, Kropf said he hopes to have the children fly over Wabasis Lake again and be able to enjoy that beautiful scenery.
Over the years, the event has allowed 690 children to fly. The event is open to all local children ages 8 to 17.
Parents can bring the children to the Greenville Municipal Airport starting at 8 a.m. to fill out registration forms and meet the pilots.
From there, they will learn about the fundamentals of flying and much more. Static airplane displays and paper plane shops will also be available for families to enjoy.
The event is put on by the Greenville Area Aviation Association and the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA).
"It is something we like to do," Kropf said. "It gives us a reason to fly."
The event is free, however, donations are accepted. Kropf said local businesses also make the event possible by donating to the event.
Throughout the nation, the "I Can Fly" events each average anywhere from 25 to 100 children. Greenville's event averages about 115 children.
"We have so much fun," Kropf said of the event. "Some kids dream of flying."

Tess Océane Joffroy hails from Saint Denis on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean and that stunningly gorgeous location is the setting for Tess' new video for the single "Love Gun". The island vibes imbue "Love Gun" with warmth and mellowness as the sound of waves lapping the shore intertwine with the instrumentation. Meanwhile, Tess' electropop aesthetic embraces minimalist textures and quiet space within the confines of a traditional pop song. That allows Tess' music to both feel vast and intimate at the same time. Tess' voice recalls Björk and the Knife at moments, but she's more resolutely pop like an Ellie Goulding or Hannah Reid (London Grammar), and her music draws more from R&B than those aforementioned northern artists.
Latest Blog Posts
Evan Sawdey: When UNKLE debuted in 1998, part of the buzz stemmed from the fact that this project was a new outlet for the more structured, accessible melodic musings of the great DJ Shadow, still riding high off of the success of his iconic debut Endtroducing…. Yet in the Shadowless years that followed, James Lavelle has been slowly building UNKLE into something of a dark-pop warhorse, continuing the group's ongoing brand of cryptic-yet-danceable sounds in new dimensions and with new directions. "The Road" is frentic, blessed with a genuine enthusiasm behind it that bleeds through that epic drum buildup and that smooth acoustic cooldown. As has been the case for the past few years now, "The Road" that UNKLE is going down is one worth following them on. [7/10]
Adriane Pontecorvo: The premise isn't too groundbreaking: a group of young indie poppers with hip haircuts singing about getting high. What sets Sir Sly's take on getting high apart from many others is how current it is. Sir Sly's "High" nails the mindset of many a millennial as the group sings about "wondering what peace would be like"—drugs as a means of escape from this very specific wave of global turmoil. On top of that, the chorus is mind-blowingly catchy, the beats enticing. This is a social statement you can dance to, an escapist earworm and a party anthem for our times. [9/10]
Steve Horowitz: This simple song has a deep heart. Justin Townes Earle celebrates that we all have miracles in are lives every day that we take for granted: the love of another, the warmth of a friend, or whatever the wonders may be. The song shows us how to relax and enjoy the calm. Today could be the one you remember years from now as a happy time. Savor it. Earle doesn't preach. He shows you how it's done as the words and lyrics invite gentle reflection. [9/10]
Morgan Y. Evans: The in studio style performance video works for personalizing and lending more immediacy to the song. It also is to the band's credit that Danielle also manages to make the rather straightforward words affecting anyway through the affluence of feeling in her voice. I like the contrast between her and Este's vocals. I was watching the Jarmusch Iggy documentary recently where Iggy was talking about how in Stooges songs early on he tried to keep it to under 25 words. It makes you think how sometimes, not to knock the lyrics here too hard, how delivery makes all the difference. Compelling artists know the importance of passion whether you are Hey Violet, Globelamp, Björk or friggin Rammstein. Haim's energy here takes this song to the next level and makes you want more, proving pop is best when it retains some human elements. [7/10]

The People Speak Deluxe - May Day
Posted on Thursday, May 1 @ 17:30:00 PST by Daniel Bischoff
We've been tackling a number of social issues in 2014, but the best part comes when we get to read your reactions and your opinions. We love our commenters, the greater community surrounding GameRevolution, and the viciously intelligent responses we get. Is there something going on in gaming that GameRevolution needs to get to the bottom of? What kinds of topics do you want to see on our site?
As always, please enjoy some of our favorite comments, forum posts, and social media shares from the past week:
Do You Experience Female Gamer Privilege?
I had to stop putting my real first name down in online gaming profiles because it's more commonly a girl name in the States, than where I'm originally from. Anyone who thinks there isn't a difference in how men and women are treated in online gaming need to grow up, get a clue and stop being part of the problem.
Iwata: Nintendo No Longer Just a Video Game Company
Stop worrying about other people's quality of life when your console is a corpse.
Editor's Corner: A Website Doesn't Give Out Review Scores, A Writer Does
I actually really like Second Opinion reviews without scores or too much into it, just a three paragraph thing saying "I agree/disagree with this review for reason reason opinion reason etc." I just like seeing other viewpoints and such, since a lot of people have different perspectives on things.
Nintendo: US Market Wants "Strong, Angry Kirby" More Than Cute Kirby
I personally love the idea of an ultra-cute puffball roaming the countryside devouring all life much more than a "tough" guy doing the same. The dichotomy is one reason Kirby interests me.
ET Died for Our Sins And Microsoft Dug Him Back Up
I actually played the ET game way back in the day. It was dull and tedious, and even with the instruction manual it was pretty tough to figure out what the hell was going on. Then again, I hadn't yet seen the ET movie at the time, so that might have contributed to my general dislike of the game.
Super Mario Bros., Roger Rabbit Actor Bob Hoskins Dead at 71
Bob Hoskings was an amazing actor. Who Framed Roger Rabbit was a great movie but sadly that and Super Mario Bros are what he's probably going to be remembered for the most although he's been acting steadily for decades. I saw Super Mario in theaters. I feel old sometimes...
Destiny's Competitive Multiplayer Must Be Unlocked
I like it. I'm a single player gamer primarily who occasionally dabbles in multiplayer, and one of my gripes with multiplayer is entering the arena with no clue about the map and being given no weapons or gear and being killed off quickly by more experience players. It kills the enjoyment when you don't know what you're doing AND you're not really given a chance because you have no effective weaponry and/or gear. At least this way you actually get some gear and weapons you want to take into the fray and it will make the mode better in my opinion.
Sledgehammer Call of Duty Reveal Coming Next Week [Update: Jaw-Dropping Screenshot, Teaser Video]
The tradional Nation State vs. Nation State model of warfare is over. Which is making the scenarios for a lot of FPS' seem ridiculous - Actually, the slight disconnect from reality that these games build with outlandish USA vs. N. Korea type stories make them attractive to me, but if people actually followed Blackwater or Xe, and knew what they were really up to (at home and abroad), they wouldn't want to glorify them in a video game.. probably the opposite, they should be the primary villains in any FPS coming out in the future.
This is an industry that feeds off of global instability, so once their cashflow begins to taper - we start seeing a prison industrial complex type situation where conflicts are manufactured and instigated (ie. see far right Russian sympathizers in Kiev, Ukraine).
"I left the army, because the money wasn't good enough for what I was getting paid to do.." That statement should tell you that you are dealing with unstable people with little to no moral compass. The fact that VICE seems to think they've got the inside scoop on what they really do is laughable.
Sorry to talk about the content and not the game but I'm not typically someone who rings the, "games breed violent behavior" bell, but this marketing campaign makes me sad.
tl;dr - I'm terrified.
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Doesn't Fight Rape Culture, Gives Examples Instead
Yeah, let's just dismiss what games could or should be because "they're just a game, don't take it so seriously" And then people wonder why the mainstream media still sees video games as a toy for kids.
From the forums: GR Production Presents: Uncharted - Drake's Fortune [Casting]
From the forums: This cold sucks.
I have a common cold and it's highly irritating. Since there is not cure, what do you do best to rid of this fast?
GR on Facebook: Rape Culture and Metal Gear Solid V
Andy Taylor
Well written point of view but it really does depend on your opinion on the use of troubling subjects in games and/or other media. I think it's there to make you feel bad for the characters and anger towards the games antagonist, whether it achieves this or not is a matter of opinion.

Poor Yulia! At the young age of 15, she is competing in her first Olympics ever. While many had high expectations, the skater landed in only fifth place on Feb. 19, after a shocking fall during the short program!
Yulia Lipnitskaya still impressed when she took the ice in her first ever run as a solo act at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi. The young skater from Russia scored only a 65.23, though, after taking a tragic fall during her triple flip at the end of her routine. See the shocking fall here.
Yulia Lipnitskaya Falls At Sochi, Lands In 5th In Short Program
"I don't know what happened," she told reporters after her performance. "My preparation was all fine. I wasn't nervous. I didn't feel too much pressure. I feel sad. I wasn't good enough on the jumps. Tomorrow, I will go out there and fight."
On Feb. 20, Yulia and the rest of the skaters will take on the free skate — and she still has a chance to pull ahead. Her component score was a 33.08, which was higher than that of Gracie Gold, who landed fourth.
The rankings now are: Yuna Kim of South Korea, who landed a 74.92; Adelina Sotnikova of Russia who earned a 74.64; Carolina Kostner of Italy, who received a 74.12; and Gracie Gold of the United States, who came in fourth with a 68.63.
There was quite a bit of buzz around Yulia heading to the Olympics, as if she did win gold, she would be the youngest since Tara Lipinski won in 1998 when she was 15.

So I picked up this patio table set from HD for $400. The center section is a removeable 12"x36" tile plate. There is about 2' of clearance underneath the slab, with the exception of the X beams which are probably about 6" from the ends of the center section.
So my question is, would it be unwise to drop in a fire pit in the center section?
Patio Set:
12"x36" Drop In H-Burner w/ SS Pan:
Fireplace/Firepit Glass:
I would keep the flames pretty low. I believe that the table frame is steel in the center section, at least the tile piece sits on a steel frame. The outer table rim appears to be aluminu. I'm not positive because I need to put it together still.
The drop in pan is around $350. If the project is feasible, I would likely buy my own H-Burner for $85 and weld a drop in pan from mild steel. I can make the pan smaller, and get a smaller burner as well. If I build it myself, and can wrap the pan with cement board or a some type of insulation. Any thoughts?

Local Girl Scouts give back
Girl Scouts is the world's most successful organization dedicated to fostering girls' leadership potential.
The Girl Scout experience has shaped the lives of the majority of female senior executives and business owners, two-thirds of women in Congress and virtually every female astronaut.
Girl Scouting helps put girls on a path for future career success, but the experience also inspires them to give back to the community. Girl Scouts are more concerned about paying it forward than getting payback.
According to a study by the Girl Scout Research Institute, all of Girl Scouts alumnae, regardless of how long they were a Girl Scout, are more active in community service and volunteer work than women who were not Girl Scouts.
Two Indiana teens aren't waiting for graduation or their first career success to start giving back; they are making an impact right now on the lives of young girls in their community.
Ashleigh Nealer and Chyenne Yeager, seniors at Indiana Area Senior High School, are best friends who met in seventh grade. Both have been involved with Girl Scouting since first grade.
Through Girl Scouts, they enjoyed many adventures, including camping, kayaking and travel.
They rode bikes in the Allegheny National Forest, explored historical Philadelphia and Gettysburg, and gazed at the stars at Cherry Springs.
Today both girls are working toward earning the Gold Award — the highest honor a Girl Scout can achieve.
When they discovered there was a need in Indiana for more troop leaders, the girls stepped up to co-lead a Daisy troop — girls in kindergarten and first grade — at St. Bernard's School.
The pair, who worked with girls the same age as program assistants at Blue Spruce day camp, didn't want any girls to miss out on all the fun and friendship of Girl Scouting.
"I wanted those girls to have the opportunity to be in a troop," Ashleigh recalled.
Chyenne agreed: "I can give them all the opportunities I had in Girl Scouts when I was younger."
They had their first troop meetings in October, and plans are starting to take shape for the Girl Scout year, starting with their participation in the Veterans Day Parade in Indiana.
"They just can't wait," Ashleigh said. "They are so excited."
The girls aren't the only ones excited for all the adventures to come.
"I love the fact that I am doing this with my best friend," said Ashleigh. "Chyenne is a great leader, and she's good with kids."
Chyenne is happy to be working side-by-side with her best friend as well.
"Ashleigh is always bright and happy," she said.
"I am really excited that together we bring more than 20 years combined of Girl Scouts experience to our troop."
She is also looking forward to sharing what she loved about Girl Scouts when she was young.
"I am really excited to take trips with them and teach them the basic camping skills I learned when I was their age."
While their young Girl Scouts are just beginning their adventure, their leaders hope they continue with Girl Scouts until high school graduation.
"We are giving them a foundation through Girl Scouts, and we want them to continue through Ambassadors like we have," Chyenne said. "It's worth it."
Kathy Nealer, Ashleigh's mom and troop leader, sees value in Girl Scouts for Ashleigh and Chyenne beyond fun, friendship and the opportunity to lead others.
"Other clubs and activities pressure girls to be a certain way to fit in, but not Girl Scouts," she said. "Girl Scouts allows girls to be themselves."
Chyenne wishes more girls were involved in Girl Scouts.
"I encourage anyone with a daughter to enroll her in Girl Scouts," she said. "It's such a great organization."

A really out-there idea on show at the Philips booth was its, 'Entertable' – an appalling name I'm sure you'll agree. This is an interactive entertainment table and was running a rather lame board game. The concept is cool though and would make a great addition to a kid's or even a grown-up kid's gaming room – as long as better content is available.
Philips was also showing off its hard disk based digital audio player or GoGear HDD Jukebox as it likes to call them. The 30GB HDD6330 player is Microsoft Play For Sure compatible and has 15 hours battery life. The coolest part is the backlit touch screen interface, which lights up blue out of the black housing. A brand new smaller 8GB player with 18 hours battery life was also on show.
As with all the other Blu-ray partners, Philips announced that its Blu-ray deck would be coming in the spring along with a PC writer.

Sept. 24, 2009
Once again, the Tennessee Volunteers are traveling to separate sites for a pair of tournaments: the UVa Ranked Plus One Invitational in Charlottesville, Va., and the Baylor HEB Intercollegiate in Waco, Texas.
The Vols dealt with rain at last week's Southern Intercollegiate Championships in Athens, Ga., which washed out much of the tournament schedule and resulted in most doubles matches being canceled. Therefore, the UVa Ranked Plus One marks the first match of the season for the Vols No. 1-ranked doubles team in the nation, senior Davey Sandgren and junior John-Patrick Smith.
Sandgren and Smith drew attention in last year's Virginia tournament by working through the A-3 bracket to face Virginia's Dominic Inglot and Michael Shabaz in the championship match. Nearly eight months later, Sandgren and Smith played the same Virginia pair in the doubles finals of the NCAA Tennis Championships.
This year, Sandgren and Smith are in the A-1 bracket and seeded as the top team. They play Calin Paar and Francois Van Impe of Nebraska in the first round, which begins Friday. Sophomore Bryan Swartz and redshirt freshman Taylor Patrick are also in the A-1 bracket and face a pair from host Virginia.
Junior Boris Conkic and freshman Rhyne Williams are seeded No. 2 in the A-2 bracket and play their first match as a doubles pair against Virginia Tech's Will Beck and Sebastien Jacques.
The singles bracket boasts some of the steepest competition the Vols face during the fall individual season. Of the 125 players in ITA's preseason rankings, 31 of them are entered in the UVa Ranked Plus One.
Smith, ranked No. 2 nationally, is the top seeded player in the tournament. He is scheduled to face Virginia Commonwealth's Tim Johanssen in the A-1 singles bracket.
Williams is competing in the A-2 bracket and plays No. 103-ranked Ivan Salec of Radford in the first round. Though his is only two tournaments into his collegiate career, Williams has already succeeded against a ranked opponent. At last week's Southern Intercollegiate Championships, Williams defeated No. 58-ranked John Peers of Middle Tennessee State 7-6 (5), 7-5.
In the A-3 bracket, Sandgren faces William and Mary's Keziel Juneau, who is seeded fourth and ranked No. 61. Conkic is the Vols' second ranked player in the tournament at No. 20, and he drew a No. 2 seed in the A-4 bracket. He plays Torsten Wietoska of Duke in the opening round.
Swartz and Patrick are competing in the B singles bracket. Patrick plays Jared Pinsky of Duke, who was defeated by UT freshman Edward Jones last week in Georgia. Swartz faces Dino Dell'Orto of Virginia in the first round.
The draw for the Baylor HEB Intercollegiate has not been released, but play is also scheduled to begin Friday.

By Jim Gazzolo / American Press
The Texans are on the clock.
For the first time since 2006, the Houston Texas have the top pick in the NFL draft.
Funny thing is, not much has changed since then when you consider the team's options.
The Texans have won a couple division titles, even a few playoff games since the last time they were picking first in the field. But they haven't really made a run at the Super Bowl and now they are back to square one.
Now we find out if they repeat their past.
In 2006 the Texans had a chance to draft a hometown kid who would be the face of the franchise for years to come. Or they could have picked the Heisman Trophy winner who was an electrifying running back while in college.
They passed on both Vince Young and Reggie Bush.
Instead they selected Mario Williams, a defensive end out of North Carolina.
Bush has been good but not great. Young had his moments, but a few too many bad ones off the field had him out of the league until Thursday, when he signed with the Cleveland Browns.
Williams has been a Pro Bowler twice and is still making plays, just not in Houston.
So the Texans did the right thing back in '06.
Now they are up again and all eyes will be watching.
This time the local hero at quarterback is Johnny Manziel, a son of Texas himself who has said the Texans will pay if they don't take him first. The Texans could sure use a quarterback as well as a face for their franchise.
Truth be told, Manziel's name is probably worth more than his talents right now. And he too has had some issues off the field.
Thus the Texans have a dilemma. Pick a name and hope he turns out or pick a player and prey he turns out.
Either way there are no guarantees.
If they pass on Johnny Football and he becomes a star, somebody is likely going to lose their job.
If they pick Manziel and he becomes a bust, somebody is likely going to lose their job.
With so much on the line the Texans must be sure before they call out the right name.
If they turn away from a quarterback they once again could be looking at taking a defensive end with freakish skills. But they let Williams go as a free agent or they would not need such a guy in this draft.
Sometimes it matters more what you do with the talent you have than the talent you draft.
So the Texans must be sure of their pick's talent, work ethic, maturity and, maybe most importantly, his character.
Manziel is a character, but does he have enough character to lead a professional football team is the real question?
There is no doubt Manziel has talent, a unique way of turning bad plays into good and makes the most of a bad situation.
But he can also embarrass his team with some strange antics.
And there are other choices out there for the Texans.
The team can take a safer pick at quarterback or maybe even pick one up in a trade or free agency. That's how they got Matt Schaub, and before you fall on the floor laughing, he has won two playoff games and a pair of division titles.
Houston can also trade the pick and find its quarterback either with the move or later in the draft.
Manziel might be the biggest name in this draft, but is he worth the number one pick is what the Texans must decide.
Or maybe the question about Manziel is whether you trust him with your job?
That's for the Texas to decide.

UAB Scouting Report
The Blazers will look the right the ship this weekend against the ECU Pirates, as UAB has dropped five of its last six games. The Green and Gold suffered a 7-4 loss to the hands of the Alabama Crimson Tide on Tuesday, snapping a four-game win streak against the in-state foe.
UAB, ECU and Marshall are all currently in a three-way tie for seventh place in the league standings. The Blazers own the tiebreaker over the Thundering Herd, taking two of three in a series earlier this season in Charleston, W.Va.
The Blazers will be looking to break a five-game losing streak to the Pirates.
On offense, the Blazers sport three hitters that boast batting averages above .300 for the season. Leading the charge is the top hitter in C-USA John Frost, who is hitting at a .372 clip for the season. The senior also leads UAB in slugging percentage (.526), on-base percentage (.443), hits (51) and RBI (27). He is also hitting a league-best .447 in conference games and is currently on a 17-game hit streak.
Joining Frost with batting averages above .300 are Ryan Prinzing (.328) and Chase Davis (.317). Prinzing tops the team in runs scored (24) and hit by pitches (11).
Overall, the Blazers are hitting .259 as a team, averaging an even four runs and 8.5 hits per game.
Tanner Bryant will get the starting nod on Friday for the Blazers, posting a 2-4 record with a 4.73 ERA. Following the righty Bryant in the rotation will be Sam Kelley (3-3, 2.70 ERA). Kelley has pitched well in league play, sporting a 3.60 ERA in three starts, but has only received four runs of support in those appearances.
The Blazer defense has turned things around, registering a .982 fielding percentage over the last 10 games making only seven errors. On the season UAB owns a .966 fielding average.
ECU Scouting Report
The Pirates enter the weekend with a record of 17-20 after falling to No. 25 UNC Wilmington 7-2 at home on Tuesday. Last weekend, ECU took two of three against Tulane, with two games going to extra innings.
ECU has utilized the long ball this season, connecting for 22 round trippers as a squad, the second-most in C-USA. Chase McDonald leads five Pirates with multiple homers on the season with five.
As a team, the Pirates are hitting at a .266 clip and averaging 4.8 runs off 9.2 hits per contest.
The three starting pitchers for ECU are all right-handed which is a change of pace for the UAB batters to see. Last week against Memphis, the Tigers started all southpaws.
Jeff Hoffman gets the ball on Friday night and is one of the top arms in the conference. The righty is 3-4 with a 2.77 ERA in nine appearances, all starts. He has pitched 65 innings, struck out 50 and is holding the opposition to a .216 batting average.
He is followed by David Lucroy, who has been just as impressive as Hoffman on the mound. Lucroy is 3-1 with 2.09 ERA and has 47 strikeouts in 47.1 innings on the bump. Sunday's starter for ECU is Ryan Williams who tops the team with five wins on the season.
As a staff, ECU has a team ERA of 4.22 and has totaled 248 strikeouts and 151 walks in 339 total innings, holding opponents to a .263 batting average.
Frost's Hit Streak Reaches 17
John Frost has put together a standout senior season and is currently on a 17-game hitting streak entering the weekend series with East Carolina. In UAB's most recent game at Alabama, Frost went 2-for-4 with a double, homer and two RBI along with scoring two runs.
During the 17-game hit streak, Frost is hitting .409 (27-for-66) with nine runs scored, nine doubles, two triples, one homer and 14 RBI. He is slugging at a .652 clip and owns an on-base percentage of .494. He has also reached base in 18 consecutive games.
Prinzing Provides Walk Off
Last weekend in the series finale vs. Memphis, Ryan Prinzing hit a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the ninth to score Tyler Mims and give the Blazers a 9-8 victory. He finished the game 3-for-5 with four RBI.
Bryant Pitches & Plays The FIeld
Tanner Bryant not only is the Friday night starter for the Blazers, he is also the regular shortstop. In fact, Bryant is one of only 19 Division I players that is a weekend starting pitcher and a regular position player. He is the only one on this list from Conference USA.
Last Friday against Memphis, Bryant was the starting pitcher and hit for himself. Then he saw time at shortstop in the same contest.
Here is a list below of weekend pitcher/position players:
Charlie Law, Rutgers
A.J. Reed, Kentucky
C.K. Irby, Samford

Eternal Father, Strong to Save
Music Played on the Titanic
The Hymn "Eternal Father, Strong to Save" was one of those sung at the hymn service lead by Revd. Ernest Courtenay Carter.
William Whiting (1825-1878) wrote the lyrics, in 1860, as a poem for a student about to sail for America. Tyew music "Melita," by John Bacchus Dykes (1823-1876) was written in 1860. Dykes named the tune after a locale associated with a Biblical shipwreck. Melita was the island the Apostle Paul reached after his ship went down (Acts 28:1); today known as Malta.
1. Eternal Father, strong to save,
2. O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard
3. Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood
4. O Trinity of love and power!
