BLACK SABBATH- Past Lives (Rhino) LP
One of my favorite things ever said about Plan 9 From Outer Space was whenever it's on it feels like it's four in the morning. Some things are like that. Sabbath is often better as a night thing. Past Lives tends the fields of fuzzy English moss growing on the North side of their iconic root-riff rocking. It takes you to a time where a late-night session with Sabbath on the headphones might cause you to believe they were hiding in the curtains. The band is remembered primarily for furious riffs that became seeds of an emerging style of hard rock. This live album offers an intimate experience with the point of view no heavy darkness exists without the sun.
For such an important and influential band, Sabbath was not well documented as a live act during their heyday. The most focused effort to release a live album was the war of the hits between Dio-era Sabbath on Live Evil and Ozzy's Speak of the Devil. Before the war of the double live albums, there was Live at Last, an unsanctioned cash grab by their ex-management crediting vocals duties to "Ossie" Osbourne. The band didn't approve of the record and critical complaints ranged from lack of "Iron Man" to slowed down performances. They definitely weren't a "just play the hits" outfit. Unfortunately for Sabbath, the mid to late seventies found them becoming the milestone by which live bands were measured; most often it was because a band blowing Sabbath away in the stadium was on their way to becoming the biggest band in the world. Van Halen fans were among those who didn't hang around to see Sabbath. Kiss also became hard for Sabbath to follow. There's no accounting for taste.
To be fair, it's easy to see how a party stadium crowd might not be able to transfer into the Sabbath mindset. Sabbath live was a more cerebral experience, and Live at Last is a raw slab of Sab during the early days. Listening to Sabbath live brings out the unmistakable sparkle of evil inherent in the music. Beyond the record companies posturing of a devilish image the band claims no responsibility for, nothing sounds as if it has risen from smoke like Sabbath on stage. Even when the performances sound a bit lumbering, the band pulls out non-album fills and improv forming a machine around the songs you know: a machine that belches but never dies. Along with the songs on Past Lives comes no-party-attitude solos, Ozzie's working class rapport with the audience, and decisively English guitar intervals.
Past Lives was originally released on CD in 2002. It contains the Live at Last LP plus a second disc of live performances from 1970 and 1975. The LP reissue arrives at a time when the band is on their latest final tour and the early albums are being pressed with bonus tracks and more remastering. So far the bonus tracks on the studio albums have been largely nominal instrumental takes fit only to serve the fan's curiosity. Past Lives has no extra tracks from its original release. But the live album is an encompassing package in itself. And the remastering? Black Sabbath is remastered every time you turn up the volume. How much more of a punch in the face is there besides a round of "Sweet Leaf." Past Lives passes the most important test: it sounds good loud.
So with no extra tracks, the obvious consumer consideration for buying Past Lives is if you're happy with your copy of Live at Last, you have the entire first LP in this two record set. Past Lives is more of what you want. I never got a copy of Live at Last, so it's a nice late night listen for my money. As a fan, it won't disappoint. As a consumer, you have to weigh that factor for yourself. But, for the record, the second disc has fucking "Iron Man" on it.

PRESS DIGEST- Canada- Nov 13
Nov 13 (Reuters) - The following are the top stories from selected Canadian newspapers. Reuters has not verified these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy.
** U.S. President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping have raised the stakes in the battle over global climate policy, and in doing so, are forcing the hand of Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The U.S.-China accord raises significant challenges heading into an election year for Harper, who has linked Canada's actions on climate change with those of the United States. (bit.ly/1zP269i)
** The recent drop in oil prices has forced Ottawa to chop billions off its revenue projections, a development that when combined with new tax cuts means the government is expecting only modest surpluses in the coming years. (bit.ly/1EEJ99r)
** A key executive in charge of Enbridge Inc's Northern Gateway pipeline is retiring, dealing a blow to the company's efforts to build support for the project in British Columbia. Janet Holder, who served as executive vice-president, western access, is leaving Enbridge effective Dec. 31. (bit.ly/1BeEU6a)

Camelbak Spark Hydration Pack -- CloseoutLong days mountain biking call for the Camelbak Spark. It's a hydration pack designed just for women, is ultra-light with a lumbar-based reservoir system, and has a MTB-specific cargo compartment.
Water can often be the heaviest thing in your pack. The CamelBak Antidote Lumbar Reservoir, with 1/4 --turn easy-open-easy-close cap, enables you to carry that weight on your hips, as opposed to your shoulders. There's a lumbar compression system for stability and a side-cinch belt to keep buckles away from your waist. You get a pack that offers an amazingly stable and comfortable system geared for biking, running, or paddling. Camelbak's patented Big Bite Valve mouthpiece offers Hands-Free Hydration and is ideal for virtually any high-performance situation, and it's easy to use. Just bite and sip! The valve self-seals after each drink to eliminate annoying drips. The Spark also has HyrdoGuard technology, an EPA-registered compound with anti-microbial properties that inhibits bacteria that can cause odors, discoloration and deterioration. Note that HydroGuard doesn't protect against disease-causing organisms, though, and you should always clean your pack after each use.
The Spark is made from 40D Diamond Ripstop & 230D Taffeta, as well as 210D Nylon with DWR + 1000 mm PU (polyurethane)+ Silicon. That's pretty bomb-proof combination of materials. And to ensure a fit tailored to your body, the Spark has Camelbak's Women's Specific Ultra-light 3D Mesh Independent Suspension with Velvetex lining and Slider Sternum Strap. Again, a lot of special features that add up to a whole lot of secure comfort. Finally, the Spark has a MTB-specific cargo compartment to carry essentials, including a multi-tool, CO2 pump & cartridges, spare tube, extra layer, energy supplements, your phone, wallet, keys.
70oz Antidote Lumbar Reservoir System:
- Quick-seal cap tightens in just a quarter turn and is easy to open
- Lighter, external fill-port takes the edge off your load

Times reporter Ashley Parker's profile of Texas Gov. Rick Perry on the campaign trail in New Hampshire portrayed a more cautious and subdued candidate, days after Perry's claim that actions taken by Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, were potentially "treasonous," a remark that offended the delicate sensibilities of Times reporter Binyamin Appelbaum, who found it simply "horrifying." Parker's Thursday piece from New Hampshire, "Day After Fed Uproar, Perry Tones It Down," featured six paragraphs on an exchange on global warming between Perry and N.H. citizen Jim Rubens, described by Parker as a "a Republican activist and high-tech investor from Etna."
But Rubens is also a consultant with the left-wing environmental group Union of Concerned Scientists, a fact Parker didn't include but which found its way into the Los Angeles Times: "One of his questioners was Jim Rubens, a Republican from the village of Etna who works as a consultant for the Union of Concerned Scientists." UCS, which was formed in 1969 to protest the Vietnam War, has lobbied against Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars") and nuclear power.
L.A. Times reporter Maeve Reston also emphasized Rubens was "an investor who works in the clean-energy sector," and not merely a "high-tech investor," as the New York Times had it.
Here's the relevant part of Parker's NYT story:
New Hampshire voters often embrace a moderate strain of Republicanism, which could give many of the locals here pause about Mr. Perry. His challenge was underscored when Jim Rubens, a Republican activist and high-tech investor from Etna, asked Mr. Perry about climate change. (Four years ago, Mr. McCain, before winning the primary, said on the campaign trail that climate change was a real, man-made problem that needed to be addressed.)
But Mr. Perry said Wednesday that carrying out programs to reduce carbon emissions would cost "billions if not trillions of dollars." He acknowledged that "yes, our climate has changed," but he accused scientists of manipulating the data and was skeptical that human behavior was the cause.
"I don't think from my perspective that I want America to be engaged in spending that much money on still a scientific theory that has not been proven and from my perspective is more and more being put into question," he said.
Mr. Perry's answer did not sit well with Mr. Rubens.
"He's a very impressive candidate, but he was factually wrong on the earth's climate," Mr. Rubens said.
"You have to deal with technology and science as it is, and for him to say that the National Academy of Sciences is wrong," he added, "calls into question the entire scientific discovery process."
At no point did Parker suggest Rubens was more than a concerned citizen, but an environmental activist as well.

Guessing game: Mike Tomlin or Omar Epps?
It's an old joke that Steelers coach Mike Tomlin looks like actor Omar Epps from the TV show House, and to date, no one has ever seen them together in the same room. We decided to put some Steelers players to the test to see if they really know their coach...
To be fair to Crezdon Butler and Isaac Redman, we did pull some tricks to try to fool them. Check out more videos from Super Bowl week on our T.G.I. Sunday blog.

Was Crezdon right about Lebron's head?? If so, pretty good eye on that dude. Looks like LeBron to me too, but I never would have spotted it.

We don't like to admit it, but we all have favorites in every recruiting class. Not necessarily from a personality standpoint, but in terms of loving to watch a certain player or players play. And that's the way I feel about Deoundrei Davis. Every time I turned on his tape, I wanted to sit back, grab some popcorn and just watch. Because I think that Texas grabbed a top-15 player in the state in Davis, yet at the same time, somebody that many people aren't talking about.
With the Big 12 boasting a bevy of spread offenses, it's important to find defenders (especially linebackers and safeties) who can stay on the field in passing situations. And Davis, who has outstanding fluidity and change of direction for a linebacker, is one of those players.
But he isn't a bulked-up safety either. Davis has natural linebacker instincts that help him to diagnose and snuff out plays in the backfield, and the speed and acceleration to take advantage of those instincts. He's also a tremendous hitter, a player who seems to get a tick faster as he closes in on the ball-carrier and accelerates through him. He might not quite be the pure athlete that somebody like Peter Jinkens is, but he's not far off, and Jinkens doesn't have Davis's ability to diagnose, nor his pure hitting ability.
Linebacker was arguably THE primary issue for Texas in 2012, and while that figures to change as the group gains more experience, it's also important to continue to add talented players to the mix. Davis enrolled early, and while he won't take part in spring practice with an injury, don't sleep on the "mental reps" that he'll be able to accumulate. Davis is an outstanding pickup, and for my money, the best in-state outside linebacker in the 2013 class.

About Architect SL In-Wall Series
The Architect Series has been designed and engineered with same high specifications as all the other Artcoustic models, leaving no space for compromise on sound quality and build, but allowing the flexibility to install in ceiling or in wall.
Architect SL has been created to deliver Artcoustic performance from an ultra-thin design, with a clean contemporary aesthetic.
Timbre matched to all the other Artcoustic loudspeakers, Architect SL is the perfect solution for multi-room applications as well as Spitfire cinema systems or lounge 5.1 systems where rear channels cannot be installed on wall.
Two models allow the correct loudspeaker to be used for the correct application, with the smaller Architect 2-1 SL delivering the same performance as the Target SL, and the Architect 4-2 SL giving options of either high output, high performance for more demanding applications, or used as a single point source stereo speaker where appropriate.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales found 62 per cent of firms in the capital reported their business was suffering as a result of economic instability in the past 12 months.
The group's UK Enterprises Survey Report for 2008 also showed that companies were resigned to the gloom continuing for some time, with many increasing their cash reserves while paying off more debt.
But the survey of more than 1,000 companies also found that businesses in the capital were better placed than others in Britain to survive the slowdown.
Ian Strange, London director of the institute, said: "London businesses know that the climate isn't going to change in the short term - yet despite this, they remain focused on growth and profitability."

So on my servers I have something like this: <Host name="www.VIRTHOST.com" debug="1" appBase="VIRTHOST" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"> <Context path="" docBase="VIRTHOST" debug="0" reloadable="true"> </Context> </Host> and <VirtualHost *> ServerName www.VIRTHOST.aas.com DocumentRoot /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27/VIRTHOST/VIRTHOST # Static files Alias / "/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27/VIRTHOST/VIRTHOST" <Directory "/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27/VIRTHOST/VIRTHOST"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks DirectoryIndex index.jsp </Directory> # Deny direct access to WEB-INF and META-INF <Location "/WEB-INF/*"> AllowOverride None deny from all </Location> <Location "/META-INF/*"> AllowOverride None deny from all </Location> JkMount /* ajp13 </VirtualHost> Which makes the following dir structure possible: appBase $CATALINA_HOME/VIRTHOST Apache DocumentRoot, and TC root Context, path="", docBase="VIRTHOST": $CATALINA_HOME/VIRTHOST/VIRTHOST other Context, path="/SOME_OTHER_APP", docBase="SOME_OTHER_APP": $CATALINA_HOME/VIRTHOST/SOME_OTHER_APP Yes, #2 above is redundant with having the same dir name twice, but it makes sense to me. You could just as easily change it to ROOT or something else, but in my case, with many virtual hosts, I found myself saying "ok, this is ROOT, but WHICH ROOT?". Using the domain name as the actual name of the directory for the root web app gets rid of this problem. For other Contexts, you just add additional Alias commands to httpd.conf to get Apache to recognize dirs on the same level as the DocRoot instead of sub-dirs. > Is that correct? In this case, I'm replacing /ATM and /BDG apps with to > Hosts under TC, with the default Context set to be a separate instance > of that 'common' app. Pretty much, I would just watch the DocumentRoot and Alias in httpd.conf, they can play tricks on you if you have them pointing to directories one level above or below your Context's docBase. > I'm wondering about this from workers.properties: > > worker.list=tomcat1 > worker.tomcat1.host=localhost > > Will I need to define a new work for each new host in TC,or can I supply > a comma separated list to the worker.tomcat1.host entry? No, you only need one worker. ".host" = "location of machine running Tomcat", it does not need to match any virtual host name. I used to think it did, back in the day, but I have since seen the error of my ways and have come back to the straight and narrow. A basic 4-line workers.properties will work for many virtual hosts. I have servers with 5, 8, and 22 virtual hosts, all using one worker per physical server with no problems. > > Thanks very much John. :) Glad to help, if I am. Have fun. John

A Taliban suicide bomber killed 19 people including two children in an attack on a police station in north-western Pakistan this morning, underlining the determination of violent extremists to destabilise the country as it reels from its worst floods in living memory.
A vehicle rigged with explosives crushed the police station in Lakki Marwat, in the south of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and near the tribal area of North Waziristan, where a US drone later in the day killed at least three people.
Nine police officers and two schoolchildren were among those killed and at least 43 people were injured. Television footage showed heavy machinery picking through crushed buildings and twisted vehicles.
It was the third Taliban atrocity of the last week. A suicide bombing killed at least 43 Shia Muslims at a procession in the south-western city of Quetta on Friday. Two days earlier a triple suicide attack killed 35 people at a Shia ceremony in Lahore.
A Taliban spokesman said the latest attack targeted the police because they had helped tribesmen in Lakki Marwat to organise private militias, known as lashkars, to repel militant attacks on their area.
"After the police, we will attack those active in forming anti-Taliban lashkars if they have not given up their activities," Ahsanullah Ahsan told the Associated Press.
In Peshawar the provincial information minister, Iftikhar Hussain, said miltants were taking advantage of the government's weakness after the floods that have displaced millions of people.
"They know that we all are busy in the relief and rescue work. But we are not going to lower our guard," said Hussain, whose only son was assassinated by the Taliban at their ancestral village last July.
It was the second major attack on Lakki Marwat this year. On 1 January a Taliban suicide bomber ploughed his explosives-laden vehicle into a crowd at a volleyball match, killing 97 people.
The district has come into the firing line due to its proximity to the Taliban stronghold of North Waziristan. The latest US drone strike hit an area controlled by the Haqqani network, which has boosted the Taliban insurgency across the border in Afghanistan.
The surge in violence comes at Pakistan's most vulnerable moment in years. Up to 10 million people are in need of immediate assistance, another 10 million are affected, infrastructure has been swept away and the economy is dangerously weak.
The UN special envoy, Jean-Maurice Ripert, said he was preparing to at least double the initial request for $460m which the UN made at the start of the flooding a month ago. So far $330m has been pledged, and about another $800m has been donated through private and other channels.

25.66 acres in Clark County, Kentucky
The magnificent Rotherwood mansion was constructed ca. 1887 by Asa Rodgers Sphar, a prominent Clark County landowner. The 6BR/3.5BA residence has been restored over the past few years, but has also been updated to accommodate today's luxuries. A dramatic foyer runs the length of the home, connecting the parlor and library with a formal dining room. The kitchen, with Sub Zero & Wolf appliances, also offers ample pantry storage and a charming breakfast room. Both the second and third floors have three bedrooms each, with foyers large enough to accommodate additional living areas. Behind the residence is a 3BR/2BA mobile home (ca. 2009), which could serve as guest quarters or on-site living for a caretaker, and a small barn/workshop. The home rests on 25+ acres just off the Paris Road (627) and less than 2-miles off I-64. The quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail make Rotherwood one of the most interesting estates on the market today.
From LEXINGTON: I-64 East to Exit 96; left on 627 (Paris Road); property 1.8 miles on right. From WINCHESTER: Maple Street to Paris Road; property on right, 1.8 miles after going over the interstate.

Ways to get a number 1 defenseman:
1. Draft + Develop
2. Offersheet
3. A trade opening for an impending UFA (UFA must be leaving on his own accord for financial reasons)
Basically all three options are equally hard. Where #1 is concerned, you actually have to commit to drafting these players in high percentage areas of the draft. We've been conducting, posting, and discussing the math on this for years, but there was a huge period of time when the Flyers just didn't draft defensemen high. We could debate the reasons forever, but that left a visible hole within our organization. Fear of failure, comfort with success, market visibility before fluctuation...all solid theories, maybe not all incorrect or correct. Regardless of this though, we've moved on. 8 of the last 14 draft picks have been defensemen; some taken fairly high. This would've been unheard of for mid-2000's Philadelphia.
Where #2 is concerned, we already know this story. You can't always throw money at the problem even if you try your damn hardest to back the other team into a corner. Ed Snider played the game, and regardless of your feelings about letting Carle walk for free (I still can't believe that was a real gripe around here), going hard after Weber was the right idea. If you think we jumped the gun, then possibly. It's hard to tell why decisions are made the way they are, but fortune favors the bold. Waiting for Weber may not have been fruitful either.
As far as #3, see Pronger. These are the guys that don't make it to free-agency unless they're something sneaky going on; see Suter. Basically, you're still going to pay an arm and a leg, but in the end it's generally worth it. These situations are just as rare as #2 and as hard to contend with as #1 because it throws your ability to play #1 out the window. That's what happened to us anyway.
So realistically, teams just don't trade young, able-bodied and sound-minded #1 defensemen. It doesn't happen. There is no "we have too many of them" nonsense to speculate on either before someone from Toronto claims "take some of our awesome sauce off our hands." Particularly when it comes to defensemen, stick to the belief that if you're supposedly getting a deal, you probably aren't. Guys like Gardiner and Franson are not the deal you're looking for, and I can tell you exactly why. The deal you're looking for does not exist. You're just going to end up regretting it. vanRiemsdyk for LSchenn was different. We pretty much knew what the drawbacks and flaws of both guys were going in. We weren't looking at a lead winger for a lead defenseman. That was a complimentary winger for a complimentary defenseman. As far as looking for that one guy by trading key offensive players; any opportunity is a feint, a trap, a hoax.
So this leads me to my point. Keep calm, carry on, and for the love of god, don't trade Brayden Schenn or Sean Couturier, or really anybody. This team is built to develop like fine wine. We still need a number one defenseman, but develop him. Our team is young enough, and everyone knows we draft well. Keep our window never-ending and eventually you will strike gold. Also, always remember, depth wins championships; not elite stature.
LSchenn, Gustafsson, Gostisbehere, Morin, Hagg, Alt, Manning, Lauridsen, Larsson, Wilcox, and Valsiliev. Work from there. Your offense is already set long-term.

Here we go yet again: how this State loves to play with fire. This dirtbag, who has extensive expertise in explosives (see arrest in 1998), nearly KILLED three troopers. Poor baby was insane. He apparently wasn't insane enough to forget how to manufacture explosive devices including trip wires, nor was he insane enough to be unable to use a firearm against our protectors. He just needed medication. I thought that in a democratic society the majority rules and the gov't. represents the will of the people. Poll any 100 citizens and I'll bet 99 of them would say, "Keep this dangerous psycho where he is." The proposed transfer unit, "community preparation," bodes disaster. The two Troopers who lost careers and ended up permanently maimed derserve some semblance of security and justice. In a few years we'll be reading gruesome headlines: "State at fault for letting psychopath back into community."

#6 May 31, 2008
I am one of those 99!! It's easy to say that he's better on medication and does not pose a threat to himself or the community. Who is going to INSURE that this man actually TAKES that medication. Will he be observed as stringently in a less secure facility?? Why take that chance. Leave him where he is for all of our sakes!
#7 May 31, 2008
Oh, he's okay as long as he takes his meds. We'll just hear another horrific story the day he decides not to take them.
These prisoner review boards never learn any lessons from the past. Give them a chance to do more harm...insane.

The Doctors up on that hill have a VERY poor and deadly track record with these determinations. When something happens, as it too often does, the doctors blame the citizens of Middletown for stigmatizing their patients for being mentally ill. We don't fear mentally ill people nearly as much as we fear the capricious imbeciles running the place.
#9 May 31, 2008
The Doctors that even think he should be allowed to go on "trips" and that he is such a "model" for other patients should have their heads examined. The attempted murder of 3 State Troopers okay warrants a 100 year confinement to a maximum security Mental Health Hospital/Prison. Premo should be glad he is allowed to breathe air much less go on a nice, comforting "trip" with his happy pills. His urine is probably contaminating our water supply.

Another menace practically let loose. What a shame. I wonder if this menace were Hispanic or African American, would this doctor rule in his or her patient in favor. Come on, its a miracle that these troopers are alive. Good Governor Rell do us all a favor, step in before its too late. Enough said!!!

Bottom line here.
Where is the accountability? Who loses their pension when, not if, this man stops taking his medication and leaves the grounds to kill someone?
The answer no one. Just like David Peterson's staff that day. No one payed for Jessica Short's horrific death, there was NO accountability. A child was murdered by a deranged man because no one was doing their job that day. What has changed since then? Nothing.
People have moved on but the mentality is still the same. There is no accountability. If that incident were to have happened at a private facility the state would have come down on them like a lead hammer and that facility would not exist today. Again, the people responsible? No doubts retired with not a thought in their minds for that small child.
Now the state wants us to believe things have changed?
#12 May 31, 2008
Let's not forget the following two facts about Premo : 1. Premo is a former police officer himself. 2. Premo formerally worked for the U.S. Postal Service. He especially loved being a police officer and was glad that he was able to serve his community in that capacity. I remember reading that at various reports about him. I wonder how many other police officers are on the verge of becoming another Premo ?
#13 May 31, 2008
So what's your point? A connection to the Post Office and the Police?
People with violent tendencies that need psychiatric care are not just limited to the postal or police force. Ever wonder about that?
#14 May 31, 2008
Yet another example of over-crowding and lack of proper facilities for CT's mentally ill.
The state shut down all the other mental health hospitals. Leaving CVH and its Whiting Forensic to pick up the load for the state. Whiting Forensic is where the criminally insane and most dangerous of mentally ill offenders reside - for treatment. Its not a prison, although it seems like that's what it has been forced to become. When patients have shown adequately positive results over considerable periods of time from medical treatment Whiting needs those beds available for people whose conditions - criminally insane and dangerous - have not been medically brought under control.
Its in all of our best interests to make sure more services, more beds, more staff and more oversight are available in CT. to the mentally ill.
#15 May 31, 2008
And nobody is talking about setting him free or releasing him. They are talking about moving him to a step-down unit in the same facility. Dutcher Hall is part of Whiting. Treatment models differ slightly because on the step-down unit the patients have already shown that their conditions are medically under control.
If proper and adequate staffing levels and supervision exists nobody is placed in harms way as a result. But do we trust Gov. Rell to make sure proper safeguars and staff are in place at the state facility?

Allen this has absolutely nothing to do with who is Governor. This is about bureaucracy at it's best. Doesn't matter who is in charge. Sorry to say. The state is CTs largest employer, the unions are a much sought after endorsement. No one wants to mess with the unions.
#18 May 31, 2008
Just for the record, Dutcher is NOT physically connected to Whiting. It is simply another building on CVH's grounds, and actually quite a walk from Whiting's high security building. Dutcher is an old, 1940's era building, with locked unit doors but no external security such as a fence. The question to ask is, what would make the victim feel safe?
#19 May 31, 2008
Dutcher is a very secure unit/facility.
Victims don't determine criminal justice or mental health treatment protocols. Victims and their advocates, and all of the public should of course be heard on such matters that affect our safety. But what the victim "feels" isn't at all relevant to what the medically necessary or appropriate course of treatment is.
Hospitals are not meant to be prisons and medical staff are not meant to be DOC prison guards. If additional security is needed at Dutcher along the exterior the state should work in coordination with DOC to ensure the public's safety (as well as specific victims in such cases). But the answer can't be keeping someone who doesn't require a certain medical level of treatment at that level of medical treatment just to satisfy others.
That would take us back to the days of forced lobotomies.

2Nd Bowling Birthday Cake
This is a picture of a cake and "bowling ball" cupcakes that I made for my son's kiddie birthday party. I figured cupcakes would be easier for the kids to eat! The cupcakes are topped with store bought frosting (this was kind of a last minute cake!), sprinkles and chocolate chips to make the finger holes. The cake decorations are all fondant.

MDF Bed Home Pool Tables
Great value & great fun!
While slate bed pool tables are known for accuracy & precision - MDF pool tables take the win from many different points of view. On price - they are generally much cheaper than slate (whilst still playing very well). On space - MDF tables can be moved easily within the home, some even have folding legs. They are also delivered using more mainstream couriers (of course always delivered free!).

MDF Pool Tables
A pool table that uses a play surface other than slate is usually described as an 'MDF' or 'wood bed' table. Although slate bed pool tables are well known for their accuracy and precision, MDF pool tables have been designed to fit in to a very particular area of the games table market.
Price Points
One thing that is immediately obvious when browsing around for MDF pool tables is the price points that these tables can achieve. When you are looking to purchase a pool table for fun, or maybe even as a game for younger children you can part with just a couple of hundred pounds and enjoy a very acceptable game.
Logistical advantages
Where the more cumbersome commercial standard tables require dedicated 2 man couriers and installation procedures, MDF tables can generally be flat packed and distributed using more main stream couriers. As a customer this means much quicker lead times from ordering the pool table through to receiving it at your home.
Space saving
Commercial pool tables are heavy and not designed to be moved around. MDF tables however are light enough to be put to the side of a room when not in use and they even have specific space saving designs such as folding legs.
Quality of play
As you ascend through the MDF pool table range you will find that the standard of play closely matches that experienced on a slate bed pool table. MDF designers have in some cases fitted the same cushions, top rails and cloth found on a slate table to get the right result. These tables are great value, great fun and can play extremely well.

It sounds an unlikely departure for a radio station that tends to stick to three-minute musical sound-bites, but Mr Skinner is convinced Radio 1 might try such tactics to compete with a station that is promising the kind of adult album rock that Britain's thirty and fortysomethings have only dreamt of until now.
Virgin 1215 will be the second of three proposed national commercial radio stations, licensed by the Radio Authority, to go on air. The first, Classic FM, has built up a loyal audience since its launch last year.
Mr Skinner, joint programme director with John Revell at the Soho headquarters of Richard Branson's new station, happily confesses to being out of touch with the current singles charts. It is an admission likely to find favour with the 24 to 44-year- olds that Virgin 1215 is targeting - listeners seen as too old for the pop of Radio 1 and ILR's FM stations and too young for BBC Radio 2.
But Mr Revell would hate people to think they have to fall within certain age limits to enjoy Virgin 1215 and has words of comfort for the fiftysomethings who appreciated Hendrix in the late Sixties: 'If you liked Jimi Hendrix then, you'll like him now and you may also find that you like Nirvana,' he says. 'And if you're a 20-year-old Pearl Jam fan you might just discover Neil Young isn't bad either.'
But if Virgin 1215 reaches only its target audience, it will have struck it rich. Advertisers badly want such listeners and a successful national rock station would provide them on tap and en masse without the need to buy into stations around the country.
John Pearson, the sales director, is promising advertisers four million listeners a week - and confidence appears to be high among agencies. Advertisers such as Perrier and Hewlett- Packard have been tempted on to radio for the first time; Carling Black Label is returning on Virgin 1215 after years away.
As well as the incalculable benefits that the Virgin name will bring, the station has taken on the omnipresent Chris Evans, who made his name with Channel 4's The Big Breakfast, which he presents. Mr Evans will be taking with him his successful Saturday morning 'zoo-radio' format from GLR (Greater London Radio).
He is just one evacuee from GLR, a station that has been haemorrhaging talent to Virgin 1215 in the wake of the Birtian edict aimed at increasing speech-output and reducing music coverage. Mr Skinner came from GLR, as did weekday presenter Tommy Vance, weekend night show host Kevin Greening and two senior producers. Mr Revell helped to launch GLR.
Mr Skinner and Mr Revell have selected the 2,000 songs that form the basis of Virgin 1215's playlist, and are unlikely to approve the sample charts on this page. Mr Skinner says: 'You can't define a radio station in 10 songs.' But it helps a little, especially when the station is offering the first national head-to-head competition to Radio 1, which attracts more than twice the number of listeners as BBC Radio 4.
Radio 1, says Mr Skinner, has become more rock-orientated since Virgin announced its programming plans. The trouble is, he argues, it remains neither one thing nor another: 'If you listen to Radio 1 on a Sunday evening you get about five different stations on one frequency, from chart music to dance music and student music. Virgin will be much more concise and consistent with a stronger identity.'
Radio 1 refutes the charge that it lacks identity and cites its breadth of coverage as a virtue rather than a weakness. Next week it will launch a range of speech-based evening shows covering arts, comedy and religion.
'We've had competition ever since ILR began 18 years ago,' says Johnny Beerling, the station controller. 'People like their pop music without the commercial breaks and they like the big name presenters that we have.'
He accepts that Virgin 1215 will take some of his older listeners, but has no doubt that Radio 1 will retain the vast majority of listeners.
'The risk with narrow-casting (targeting a particular audience within a certain age range) is that you do not challenge the audience, you play safe . . . Our listeners don't want blandness, they want to be stimulated.'
Other voices at Radio 1 are sceptical that anyone - least of all CD-buying 'adult' rock music connoisseurs - wants to listen to music on unfashionable old medium-wave with its mono sound, when most listeners are now tuning in to stereophonic
Nonsense, responds Jane O'Hara, radio specialist at the Association of Media Independents, who says that the Irish commercial rock station Atlantic 252 - which attracts four million UK listeners - has proved such fears groundless. 'A lot of people like me said that Atlantic stood little chance because it is on long-wave and people don't tune to long-wave. But we were proved wrong.'
She predicts that the station's name will get it off to a flying start. Some are so confident it cannot fail that they are predicting that radio will finally start to improve on its dismal 2 per cent share of all British advertising revenue.
'It will be a struggle,' admits Ken New, vice-chairman of Abbott Mead Vickers, whose client Labatts is spending pounds 750,000 to sponsor Virgin 1215's album chart show. 'It will be difficult because other media are increasingly competitive but it must be the case that Virgin 1215 could finally make it happen.'
The nightmare scenario for independent radio would be for Virgin to take advertising away from the ILR stations, robbing the local Peter to pay the national Paul. But the new advertisers on Virgin bode well and Mr New makes a final prescient observation.
'Virgin 1215 is arguably the single biggest commercial for Virgin itself as far more people will come into contact with the Virgin culture through the radio station than, say, on the airlines. Richard Branson cannot and will not allow it to fail. The risk to the reputation of Virgin would be very damaging.'

Knife to a Gun Fight
Nancy's father left when he was young,
Left him and his mother, went on the run,
Nancy worked early on, and breaks, he got none,
But he dreamed from day number one
of being a cowboy, riding off into the sun.
When he'd saved enough cash, he was done,
Ready to be a cowboy, so he bought himself a gun,
Got some chaps, a cowboy hat for fun,
He went to the local cowboy club, "The Horses' Dung".
Everyone was mighty impressed till his name was won
By one of the bar maids, who right away sung,
"The boy's name is Nancy, what a pun!"
They all chanted and jeered at his misfortune,
"No boy named Nancy could be a cowboy's son!"
Nancy wasn't about to take this from anyone,
So he reached in his holster and pulled out his gun,
Shot it in the air, and it seemed like he'd won,
The bar went quiet, but then by the tons,
Guns were pulled and pointed at the dumb
Cowboy wannabe, ended before he'd begun,
Poor Nancy, dreams broken, and so glum,
He walked home and hung up his gun.

Rovers' Wembley dream may have died but they certainly put up one hell of a battle at Villa Park on Wednesday evening.In a game of high drama, Rovers put memories of their 1-0 loss at Ewood in the 1st leg firmly behind them when they raced into a two goal lead courtesy of a brace from Niko Kalinić.But Stephen Warnock drew the tie level on aggregate in contentious circumstances before Chris Samba saw red for bringing down Gabriel Agbonlahor and James Milner scored from the spot.Three goals in nine second half minutes gave Rovers a mountain to climb, but to their credit they never gave up. Stunning strikes from Martin Olsson and Brett Emerton reduced the arrears to 5-4, with the home side and fans decidedly nervous.But the battle proved to be one that was just too far for Rovers and when Ashley Young raced clear to score the tenth goal of the game it was all over for Allardyce's side.Ahead of the game Sam Allardyce made just the two changes from the side that defeated Fulham 2-0 at the weekend. David Dun and Morten Gamst Pedersen preferred to Benni McCarthy and Steven Reid.But whilst the line-up was familar the formation wasn't, with Allardyce going for a 4-3-3 formation, Niko Kalinić up top, assisted by Olsson on the left and Dunn on the right, with Pedersen, Emerton and Nzonzi in the centre.For the home side, they chose the same starting eleven that defeated Rovers 1-0 in the first leg at Ewood six days ago.Ahead of the game there had been much debate as to how Rovers, trailing by one goal, would approach the game, but after the opening exchanges there was to be no doubt.David Dunn had served notice just six minutes in when he saw his shot deflected narrowly wide off the back of James Collins and from the resulting corner kick Brad Guzan struggled to keep Morten Gamst Pedersen's inswinger away from the danger area.
Four minutes later and it would be from a corner kick that Rovers would take the lead. David Dunn sending over a ball from the left where Niko Kalinić headed home from close range.
Rovers were in command, Brett Emerton saw an effort blocked after Dunn couldn't make progress, then Kalinić also saw his effort blocked after good work from Olsson and Dunn.
Their reward of a second goal arrived on 26 minutes courtesy of a flowing move. David Dunn sending the ball from right to left for Kalinić who cleverly flicked it onto Pedersen. His cross from the left found Martin Olsson who saw his header stopped by a superb one-handed save from Guzan, but the Croatian Kalinić, so unfortunate in the 1st leg striking the woodwork on two occasions, was on hand to fire home for his fifth goal of the season with supreme calmness.
That second goal put Rovers in front on aggregate, but just four minutes later the home side pulled back a contentious goal. Ashley Young sending over a cross from the right that found its way to Stephen Warnock to score his first goal for Villa at the back post. Had referee Martin Atkinson spotted Gabriel Agbonlahor's blatant push on Ryan Nelsen the goal wouldn't have been given.
Five minutes before the break it got a whole lot worse for Rovers and it was yet another decision that would be debated.
A ball over the top saw an offside looking Agbonlahor race clear, Chris Samba did his best to make the tackle with a last ditch lunge, but he missed the ball, over went the Villa striker and the inevitable penalty and red card followed.
Amazingly Rovers have had three players sent off this campaign, all three coming in games against Aston Villa.
James Milner took the penalty and despite Paul Robinson diving the right way, the ball had the required pace on it to beat the Rovers goalkeeper.
With a man light it was always going to be an uphill struggle for Rovers in the second half, but to concede three goals in the space of nine minutes made it more than a mountain.
The first of Villa's quick fire treble came on 53 minutes when a Stewart Downing corner kick was forced home from close-range in a goalmouth scramble. Four minutes later James Milner saw his shot from the edge of the box deflect of Gabriel Agbonlahor and past Robinson.
Just past the hour mark and the tie was done and dusted as Milner found Heskey who beat the offside trap to round Robinson and make the scoreline 5-2 on the night and 6-2 on aggregate.
"We're gonna win 6-5" chanted the Rovers faithful, and to their credit Rovers never let their heads drop.
Just a minute after Heskey's goal Rovers were adding another to their own tally with the goal of the night.
Gael Givet popped up on the left flank to centre to Martin Olsson who scored his first goal of the season with a spectacular overhead kick.
Paul Robinson then stopped Heskey from grabbing a further goal with a stupendous one-handed save, whilst at the other end substitute Benni McCarthy lashed narrowly wide, it was a great opportunity.
But Rovers still pressed, and with the Villa defence still looking jittery despite their healthy advantage, the ninth goal of the game arrived.
Morten Gamst Pedersen sent over a corner from the right that Brett Emerton hooked back into the area with possibly Emile Heskey getting the last touch as the ball crept over the line.
As if to show just how much Rovers had troubled the home side huge groans echoed around the ground as the fourth official showed there would be four additional minutes to be played, but with Rovers well upfield a tenth goal on the night was added as Ashley Young raced away to score.
The final whistle indicated the Wembley dream was over for Rovers. The players would have loved to have gone over to applaud the visiting supporters who gave the side great backing, but there were unsavoury scenes at then end as the home supporters invaded the Villa Park turf.
So it is back to the bread and butter of the Premier League next Wednesday at home to Wigan, after the display against Aston Villa, they can go into the game with huge confidence.

Will weather help move
event from rainy March?
By Pete Iacobelli, The Associated
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. How long can The
Players Championship last in March?
For the second straight
year, rainy weather forced the $6 million tournament to conclude Monday. NBC Sports
will go against The Price is Right to show the end of what could be Tiger
Woods' first Players title.
It might be more ammunition
for those who want to move the Players to May and possibly less stormy
weather instead of the last weekend in March, its traditional date.
Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said that moving the tournament would be substantial
because the Players has worked so well in March as it builds momentum and interest
for the Masters in two weeks. "But we are always intrigued," Finchem has said.
said this week such a change could compromise one of the strongest fields in the
game at the Players. Foreign stars, he said, might not fit in a May trip and miss
important international tournaments between time in the United States for Masters
in April and the U.S. Open in June.
"I don't think you're
going to get quite an international field as you could get," Woods said.
Faldo likes the Players where it is, no matter the weather. His solution? "We
could start it on Wednesday, couldn't we?" he said.
ACE: Chris DiMarco started his final round 16 shots behind leader Jerry Kelly,
but still made his mark Sunday with the only ace this year at The Players Championship.
aced the 184-yard third hole during his morning round. Russ Cochran was the last
with a hole-in-one there during the final round in 1994.
who teed off at 9:30 a.m., struck a 5-iron that landed about 15 short and rolled
in. "It was really kind of surreal," he said. "It was kind of hazy, and it looked
good in the air."
His playing partner, Sergio Garcia
told him "that looks good, go in. It was perfect," DiMarco said of his third competitive
DiMarco caught the attention of his competitors
in the locker room during the nearly three-hour weather delay. "They all came
up, congratulated me, it was great," he said.
It's only
the third hole-in-one on No. 3 in 20 tournaments here, tying the 13th for fewest
aces among the Stadium Course's four par 3s. There have been five aces apiece
on the 17th hole's island green and the 219-yard eighth hole.
TALK: One of the hottest topics in the locker room? The latest driver? The
upcoming Masters?
According to Joe Durant, it's the
stock market.
"Ooh, you hit a bunch of guys where it
hurts," Durant said. "It's been a topic overall and we're kind of sick of looking
at it and saying 'OK, how many did it go down today."'
said many of his colleagues play the market. Talk of its recent slide can't help
coming up when players get together, he said. "It's almost like a joke, but what
can you do?" Durant said. "We're not the only ones, everybody in the country is
wondering when it's turning around."
Durant, who has
won two tournaments and more than $1.6 million this year so far, said a few of
his stocks have taken modest hits. "I can tell you," he says, "I haven't lost
the most."
Durant, tied for 11th here when the final
round began, is in line for more investing money. Eleventh place pays $150,000.
DIVOTS: It's been a true Florida swing so far.
Residents of the Sunshine State have swept the past three tournaments. Joe Durant
(Molino) took the Genuity Championships at Doral, Jesper Parnevik (Jupiter) won
the Honda Classic, and Tiger Woods (Orlando) won the Bay Hill Championships. ...
Tournament organizers were ready as rain and lightning delayed the final round.
Minivans rescued golfers left far away from the clubhouse. When play resumed,
