Baseball-sized snail destroyed in Australia to protect crops
A baseball-sized snail with an insatiable appetite for hundreds of plants including cocoa and papaya has been seized and destroyed by Australian officials, who said it posed a huge threat to local agriculture.
The animal was found creeping across a Brisbane shipping container yard and identified as a giant African snail, an East African pest capable of growing up to 30 cm long and one kg in weight.
It is known to eat 500 different species of crops, fruits, native Australian plants and even other giant African snails, according to an Australian government website.
"Giant African snails are one of the world's largest and most damaging land snails," said Paul Nixon, acting regional manager at the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, in a statement.
The snail can lay 1,200 eggs a year, tolerates extreme temperatures and has few natural enemies in Australia. It also carries parasites that can infect humans with the disease meningitis, which can in some cases be fatal.
The last major Australian outbreak of the snail was in 1977, when 300 giant snails were exterminated in Queensland in an intensive eight-month campaign of community education, baiting and snail collection.
The snail was destroyed and officials inspected the container yard and found no evidence of additional snails, eggs or snail trails. They will continue surveillance into next week.
"Australia's strict biosecurity requirements and responsive system has so far kept these pests out of Australia, and we want to keep it that way," Nixon said.

Guidelines for using the couch A refresher course in discipline By Linda Downing Miller• Illustration by Marc Stopeck
Experts generally agree children need help learning to control their behavior. Parents generally agree they need help helping their kids do so. We've read the experts' books. We've nodded at the sage advice. We may even have jotted down some of the expert disciplinary strategies. Then we've promptly forgotten them, worn down with too much to do and too many battles to fight. (It's not just me, is it?) Experts say we often learn best by example. Let's consider a simple leather couch.
1 Establish and communicate clear rules. Are you a relaxed individual, comfortable watching your possessions dismantled, hurtled over and used as trampolines? Even your leather couch? If you secretly cringe at the thought, you may secretly hate your kids if you don't tell them. Consult your spouse, if applicable. A united front is important.
2 Be consistent. If jumping on the couch is not allowed, don't get tired one day and let some adorable little person jump on it for 10 minutes before exploding: "That's enough! I've told you there's no jumping on the couch!" Call it when you see it every time, even when you are operating on only three hours of sleep and don't give two lint balls about the stupid couch.
3 Stay in control. If you enter a room and discover someone breaking the couch-jumping rule, try not to shriek, "*!#! I said no jumping on the couch!" Take a moment to gather your thoughts. The cushions probably won't suffer that much more damage.
4 Reinforce the rules in a positive manner. Get close to the offender(s), make eye contact if possible and state in a calm, clear voice, "The couch is for sitting. Please get down now." (Note the positive emphasis on the couch's true purpose.) Wait expectantly for up to five seconds.
5 Implement immediate consequences. So someone is jumping on the couch. He or she has listened to your positive reminder, locked eyes with you and resumed jumping even more gleefully. Perhaps he or she has made a justified statement such as, "But I have to jump to Princessland so I can be on time for my wedding!" Guide the little bride-to-be off the couch firmly but gently, perhaps explaining, "I see you want me to help you get down." Now state a relevant consequence, such as, "You may not play in this room the rest of the day," or "You need to take quiet time in your chair to calm down." Avoid a delayed penalty such as "No dessert after dinner," or an unrealistic one, such as "I'm never letting you wear your princess dress ever again!" Try not to launch into lengthy explanations or rants: "I've told you and told you and told you not to jump on the couch. Why do you do it? Are you trying to drive me crazy?" A child will not hear past the second "told you." (I've tested this.)
6 Diffuse hard feelings with creativity. Your child is desolate. She missed her wedding at Princessland because of your ridiculous rules. You say, "Hey! Did you hear that? I think I hear the chair calling. It's saying, 'All aboard for Princessland! Sit down and fasten your seat belts!' " Intrigued, she sits quietly in the chair for five minutes until you announce her arrival. This is very, very hard to do when you feel completely and utterly humorless.
7 Involve your children in solving problems. If you find yourself spending too much time monitoring the use of the couch, try a family meeting. "Kids, we seem to be having a persistent problem of people jumping on the couch. What do you think we should do about that?" After you fend off the first round of helpful suggestions-"nothing," "allow jumping"-you may find your children coming up with more feasible ideas. Maybe you will agree to save up together for a small trampoline. Maybe you will decide couch-jumpers are banned from the room and have to pick up any toys on the floor.
8 Validate feelings. Two children have been gently removed from jumping positions on the couch. They've tearfully picked up scattered toys and are now standing in the kitchen, still crying. "She was jumping on the couch before I was, so she got to jump on it longer!" wails one. "I was STANDING on the couch. She was the one jumping!" yells the other. Hide in the bathroom if you are about to hurl self-esteem-damaging insults. Come out when you can muster up something sympathetic to say. For example, "I know that you both like jumping. I know you are sad that you can't, but those are our rules. It's OK to feel mad at your sister. I sometimes got mad at my sister(s)/brother(s) when I was a kid."
9 Redirect. "Why don't we go outside and play hopscotch or leapfrog? We can jump that way." "Would you like to draw a picture about your wedding in Princessland?" If wholesome suggestions fail, I have found 100 percent success with, "Would you like to play on the computer?" Or "How about a TV show?" Allow the kids to choose—of course, only when your established audiovisual limits allow.
10 Occupy the territory. When your children are happily engaged, sneak away and lie down on the couch.

The Dodgers have won 12 of their last 14 meetings with the Pirates heading into Monday night's opener of a four-game set at PNC Park.
Los Angeles (62-53) is one game behind San Francisco for the division lead. Pittsburgh (64-50) holds the second wild-card spot, with the Dodgers and St. Louis 2 1/2 games back.
The Dodgers swept a three-game home set from the Pirates from April 10-12, but they come to Pittsburgh with a different look now that Hanley Ramirez has joined the team.
Ramirez, acquired July 25 from Miami, enjoyed a big weekend series in his return to South Beach as he went 6 for 13 with five RBIs to help Los Angeles win two of three. The three-time All-Star has 17 RBIs in 16 games with the Dodgers.
The Pirates avoided a fourth straight loss and a three-game sweep by San Diego with Sunday's 11-5 victory. Pittsburgh rallied from a five-run deficit after two innings, as Clint Barmes' first career grand slam highlighted a nine-run fourth inning.
The Pirates have yielded first-inning runs in six straight games and hope that Jeff Karstens (4-2, 3.77 ERA) can get them off to a better start Monday. Karstens gave up three runs over six innings Tuesday and did not get a decision in a 10-4 defeat to Arizona, increasing his home ERA to 1.33.
The right-hander, 2-0 in four outings at PNC Park this year, fell to 0-3 with a 4.94 ERA in five starts against the Dodgers after yielding three runs over five innings in a 3-2 loss April 12.
Karstens will be matched up with another San Diego-born right-hander in Aaron Harang (7-7, 3.80), who owns more victories at PNC Park than at any other visiting ballpark - going 8-3 in 11 starts despite a 4.46 ERA.
Harang lost his second straight outing Tuesday by surrendering three runs in six innings of a 3-1 home defeat to Colorado.
Chris Capuano didn't quite make history on Sunday, but he did continue his great season, proving yet again to be a bargain for the Dodgers.
Capuano took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, but settled on eight shutout frames with just two hits allowed, and 10 strikeouts in a 5-0 victory over Miami. It was the 76th game by a Los Angeles Dodger, dating back to 1958, with at least eight scoreless innings and at least 10 strikeouts.
It snapped a personal three-game losing streak for Capuano, who showed signs of a rebound in his previous start. He allowed two early runs in Monday's loss to Colorado, but that was all he allowed in seven innings.
"I was happy with the last couple of innings, as I felt stronger and I was getting the ball to where I was trying to get it," Capuano said on Monday.
He was even better on Sunday, which was his 16th quality start of the year, and his 14th game in 24 starts that he has allowed two runs or less.
Now four years removed from his second Tommy John surgery, Capuano sports a 3.11 ERA in 24 starts. He has pitched at least six innings in 17 of his 24 starts, averaging 6.26 innings, his highest mark since 2006.
Signed to a two-year, $10 million contract before the season, Capuano has established himself as a worthy top of the rotation starter for the Dodgers and is a big reason why they are in contention in the National League West.
Notes, Quotes
SS Hanley Ramirez hit .462 (6-for-13) in three games in his return to Miami, driving in five runs against his old teammates. Ramirez has at least one hit in all eight road games he has played as a Dodger, and has 18 RBI in 17 games since getting acquired by the Dodgers on July 25.
CF Matt Kemp extended his hitting streak to four games with an eighth-inning double, hitting .529 (9-for-17) during the streak. Kemp also stole two bases on Saturday, his first multi-steal game since July 5, 2011.
IF/OF Jerry Hairston Jr. left Saturday's game early with tightness in his left hip. Manager Don Mattingly said Hairston was day-to-day and not likely to land on the disabled list.
RF Andre Ethier drove in a run with an eighth-inning single, giving him RBI in back-to-back games for the first time since July 14-15. Ethier, since returning from the disabled list on July 13, is hitting .269 with just one home run and 11 RBI in 28 games.
C Matt Treanor went 0-for-4, extending his string of hitless at-bats to 10, dating back to July 26. Treanor has just three hits in his last 44 at-bats (.048) dating back to June 17, which has seen his batting average drop from .310 to .186.
By The Numbers: 76—Starts by a Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher with at least eight scoreless innings and at least 10 strikeouts, including Chris Capuano on Sunday in Miami.
Quote To Note: "It's the reason you love certain guys, because they can do everything. Now, you see the speed element, and it's the whole package you want to see." —Manager Don Mattingly, on Matt Kemp, who stole two bases in a game for the first time in 13 months.

They may not be the stars. They may not be on the best teams. But these guys are every bit as dangerous. Here's our Under-The-Radar Team:
Travis Releford, G, Kansas (captain)
When Kansas center Jeff Withey scores 16 points, grabs 12 rebounds, and blocks 12 shots in the same game, the headlines place him among the candidates for national player of the year.
When Kansas guard Ben McLemore hits 10 of 12 shots, makes all six of his three-pointers (including one off the glass to force overtime) and scores a career-high 33 points in a 97-89 victory over Iowa State, the opposing coach calls the freshman "unbelievable" and "a star."
"He's got the potential to be the No. 1 pick in the (NBA) draft," Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg told the Lawrence Journal-World Wednesday night.
With the Jayhawks holding that much star power, some college basketball fans didn't understand Travis Releford's value to No. 6 Kansas until he sat on the bench with four fouls Jan. 6 against Temple. That fourth personal came with 15:32 left in the game and Kansas leading 41-39. The Owls outscored Kansas 15-9 and took a 54-50 lead with Releford out of the game. He returned to the floor with 6:53 remaining, and Kansas then closed out the victory with a 19-8 run.
Without Releford, the Jayhawks (14-1, 2-0 Big 12) would still be a good team. With him, Kansas could be on the way to consecutive Final Four appearances and is a legitimate contender for the national championship again.
And that's why Releford is captain of our midseason Under-The-Radar Team.
Check out Ken Davis' latest college basketball power rankings at FOXSports.com.
Kansas fans have long understood Releford's role as a top defender. But after averaging 3.7 points as a sophomore, and 8.5 points as a junior, the senior swingman has raised his scoring average to 13.2 points per game. He is the definition of offensive efficiency, shooting 63.6 percent from the floor, 45 percent from three-point range and 87 percent from the free throw line. He is a good passer, is outstanding in transition, takes good shots and does little things, like setting the screen for McLemore on the game-tying shot against Temple.
Releford began the season 0-for-11 from three-point range but has made 18 of his last 29. He ranks first in the nation in effective field-goal percentage (according to KenPom.com), which takes into account the extra value of three-pointers. And Sports-Reference.com ranks him first in true shooting percentage, a number that factors in free-throw shooting as well.
After hitting all five of his shots against Temple, Releford was 3-for-6 against Iowa State -- 50 percent being his worst game since Nov. 15 (1-for-6 against Chattanooga) -- and 4-for-5 Saturday against Texas Tech. He has been on a tear since scoring a total 40 points in wins over Washington State and Saint Louis in the CBE Classic in late November. That's when Kansas coach Bill Self said, "I really think if you don't worry about scoring, scoring naturally comes," referring to both Withey and Releford.
When the decision was made to redshirt Releford in 2009-10, Self said there was a chance he could be a 1,000-point scorer at Kansas. This was after he scored 86 points as a freshman. Releford is at 724 and could make Self look like quite a prophet by the NCAA tournament.
Richard Howell, F, North Carolina State
|Richard Howell
If No. 20 NC State is going to live up to all that preseason hype now that the Atlantic Coast Conference season is here, Howell has to be a huge part of the equation -- and he sure was in Saturday's game against Duke. C.J. Leslie and Lorenzo Brown overshadow Howell in the publicity game, but Howell leads the Wolfpack in rebounding (10.4) and is third in scoring at 12.9 points per game.
He went over both those averages in Saturday's upset win over No. 1 Duke, scoring 16 points and hauling in a game-high 18 rebounds.
After seeing Howell against Connecticut in the Jimmy V Classic, we wrote that Howell is the blue-collar guy coach Mark Gottfried needs on the floor -- not in foul trouble. Howell averaged 27 minutes last season and fouled out five times. Four of those games ended up as NC State losses. Howell had 12 rebounds in NC State's 83-70 win over Georgia Tech Wednesday but picked up four fouls in 35 minutes.
"We're a different team when he plays," Gottfried said. "The two games we've lost, he's played 16 and 19 minutes. When Richard's in the game, you can see what kind of impact he can have. ... He's a guy his teammates respect because he just goes about his business, works hard in practice and then in the game he competes."
Mike Muscala, F/C, Bucknell
|Mike Muscala
Muscala is Bucknell's star, but the Bison (14-3) qualify as an under-the-radar team, playing in the Patriot League. So unless Bucknell finds a major program willing to play -- like Missouri did on Saturday -- Muscala's talent won't get much TV play until possibly the NCAA tournament -- or when he is drafted into the NBA.
Scouts have been watching Muscala for quite a while. Even though Bucknell couldn't finish off the upset bid against Missouri, scouts had to be pleased with what they saw in Columbia. Muscala had 25 points, 14 rebounds, four assists and two blocks against his SEC opponent. In Saturday's Patriot League opener against Army, Muscala tallied 20 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists -- all game highs.
Muscala averages 19.4 points per game and is among the top 30 scorers in the nation. He shoots 55.1 percent from the field and 81.5 percent from the line. He's also among the best in the nation in rebounding, averaging 11 boards.
Briante Weber, G, VCU
|Briante Weber
VCU coach Shaka Smart said Weber gave the Rams their swagger last season. That's when Weber was a freshman. He's back at it again this season. Weber is a high-energy guy and the very definition of havoc, that characteristic that Smart loves.
The 6-foot-3 sophomore guard had nine of VCU's 15 steals and the Rams recorded their 10th consecutive victory Wednesday, 74-62 over Dayton. Weber leads the nation in steals, averaging 3.6 a game. Syracuse's Michael Carter-Williams, who gets much more publicity, is averaging 3.2 a game.
In the season opener against Florida Gulf Coast, Weber recorded a double-double with 13 points and 10 steals as VCU won 80-57. Weber has had three other games with five steals. VCU has 224 steals through 17 games this season. Last year the Rams led the nation with 381 steals, getting 10.6 per game. With Weber around, the Rams clearly aren't going to slack off in that department.
C.J. Fair, F, Syracuse
|C.J. Fair
Fair scored 23 points, had 11 rebounds and four blocks Wednesday night to save No. 7 Syracuse in a 72-66 victory at Providence. He led the way again Saturday, scoring a team-high 22 points in a win over Villanova.
Fair could be the star player on many other Division I teams, but he has had a unique role with the Orange. Last season, he started just nine games, but his 26.4 minutes per game were second behind only senior Kris Joseph. He was Syracuse's fifth leading scorer (8.5) and was second in rebounding (5.4) behind Fab Melo.
Fair is starting as a junior and his numbers are up. He is Syracuse's third leading scorer (13.8 ppg) and leading rebounder (7.1 rpg). He doesn't grab the headlines every game like a Michael Carter-Williams, James Southerland or Brandon Triche, but he is certainly capable of taking control -- as he did in Providence -- at any time. Last year, he played his best ball in February.
"I think he's their glue guy," Providence coach Ed Cooley said. "C.J. gives them a veteran on the floor that makes everybody better. He's one of the better mid-range shooters in (the Big East). He plays with a tremendous amount of energy and passion. He's one of my favorite players in the league to watch. He's definitely improved."

12 of the Most Frustrating PC Games We Can't Help but Love
So we are all looking forward to getting off of work to go home and play that game – you know which one I'm talking about – that game that you are thinking about right now. The one that you can't stop loving to hate because you can't get past the next level or you can't get three stars, or whatever the goal may be. Some of these games you may know, some you may want to know. Either way, I think that you will want to get strapped in, and get playing as soon as possible.
FTL: Faster Than Light
Even though you do a pre-flight check, get your best weapons, crew, and tech, you launch and get blown up in about 15 seconds. The original concept was based on tabletop board games, so it's a little retro, and has a "homespun" feel to it.
Dark Souls
Being an undead soldier, you would think you would be a little tougher. Alas, across every dungeon floor, bridge, and corner lies a trap, explosion, huge rock, or whatever to end your afterlife.
When you can manipulate the laws of the universe, and bend time, there isn't much you can do. In this game, however, doing it right is the only way to go, and let me tell you sometimes it feels like an eternity just to get your objective.
Zombie Apocalypse – what else is there? Practice, and don't get killed by your fellow human for food, or else you have to start all over.
Is the most frustrating game on this list, but you know you just want to get it right before clocking in from lunch, or doing your homework? Best of all, it can play in just about any browser.
Super Meat Boy
While this sounds like a really lame super hero, it's just a guy who looks like meat, and is trying to save his girlfriend from Dr. Fetus. Yes, you read that correctly. The cool thing is that it has 300 levels, and multiple deaths at the end of the level.
XCOM: Enemy unknown
Turn based sci-fi action is here, and it's cool. Aliens, humasn, guns, and fun.
Super Hexagon
I can't even look at this game without going crazy. If Button mashing is a favorite past time sport of yours, this game is for you and your short attention span. Games are long if they last a minute.
Portal 2
This confusing sequel to the original is quite awesome, with your ability to create portals just about anywhere; you can work with another player or by yourself in this advanced space puzzle game. Regardless of the outcome, you will keep banging your head against the desk until you get it right.
League of Legends
This MMO is part strategy, part luck, and part making friends. Since the game is so heavy reliant on groups, you need to beef up your skills, and get into that group in order to really get the good stuff.
Cart Life
This game is like life – a little depressing, a little fun at times, but you really never know what you are going to get. I don't know if the name is a takeoff on the term "Thug Life", but it would be ironically funny.
The Walking Dead
This game is like a bad relationship –trials, and tribulations, sprinkled with a few happy and glorious moments. You keep coming back hoping something will change, but it never does. This game feels like when you lean back in your chair and almost fall, but you catch yourself at the last minute.
All in all, these games are entertaining disasters that I love to hate. I hope you will too.
This piece was contributed to Gamocial by a reader.

Prophylactic vaccines
There are two commercially available vaccines that help protect adolescents and women from HPV: Gardisil and Cervarix. Gardasil, administered in three injections over six months, is recommended for 11- and 12-year-old girls, or for females aged 13 through 26 who have not yet been vaccinated or completed the vaccine series. This vaccine targets the types of HPV that most commonly cause cervical cancer (16 and 18), as well as the two strains of HPV that most commonly cause genital warts (6 and 11). Cervarix, which is FDA-approved for females aged 10 to 25, also is administered in a series of three shots and protects against two strains of HPV (16 and 18) that cause cervical cancer. Ideally, females should get the vaccine before they become sexually active, when they may be exposed to HPV.
These vaccines do not protect against all types of HPV; about 30 percent of cervical cancers will not be prevented by the vaccine. The vaccines also do not protect against other sexually transmitted infections, and cannot treat existing HPV. Therefore, it is still important for those who get the vaccines to continue regular screenings for cervical cancer through gynecological checkups and Pap tests.
Pap tests
Regular gynecological checkups, including a pelvic exam and Pap tests (link to above descriptions), will help detect any abnormal changes to the cervix as early as possible.

Genghis Khan was a great Conqueror and established Mongol Empire. From his early years, due to mythical signs at birth, his tribe used to believe that he is destined to become great man. He started his career as a soldier and fought a series of inter-tribal wars. Genghis Khan was a fascinating personality for historians, and by his genius and achievements he is recognized as the great co conqueror the world has seen after Alexander the Great.
Tribal Supremacy
When Temuyin was a young man, his encampment was attacked by the Taichiut tribe and he was taken prisoner. He was kept chained with a wooden collar round his neck. One night, Temuyin managed to escape as his captors were feasting and took refuge in the waters of the Onon River, which flowed alongside the camp. Fortunately for him, a member of the Taichiut itself befriended him and helped him evade the search party. Later, Temuyin made his way to the Konkirat camp and claimed his wife Borte. A black sable coat was presented to him as a dowry gift and this was to prove the foundation of his fortune. Temuyin now met Toghril, a powerful ruler of the Kereit tribe in central Mongolia, who had been his father's friend and presented the sable coat to him. In return, Toghril took him under his protection and provided him support when his wife Borte was carried off in a raid by the Merkit Tribe from the north. Within three weeks, Temuyin with the help of Toghril and Jamuka, a Mongol chieftain, were able to defeat the Merkit and rescue Borte. Later, Temuyin fell out with Jamuka, but the Mongols stayed with him and declared him as "Chingiz-khan" (Genghis khan) which means "universal monarch". Throughout the next few years, Chingiz khan fought a succession of inter-tribal wars and succeeded in defeating his rival Jamuka, the Tartars and then later Toghril (now known as Ong-khan) himself, to become the unquestioned leader of the Mongols.
In 1202, he conducted a final expedition against the Tartars and was able to exterminate the entire race. Genghis khan was now unrivalled leader of eastern and central Mongolia. With the death of Jamuka in 1206, the last vestiges of opposition was gone and he became the undisputed ruler over the whole of Mongolia. An assembly of Mongol princes now conferred the title 'Great khan' upon him. Great Conquests With Mongolia now under his control, Genghis Khan proceeded to organize his army and built it up into a strong fighting force capable of undertaking extensive foreign conquests. In 1211, hostilities with China broke out and by the year-end the Mongol army had taken control of Northern China. By 1214, the entire region to the north of the Hwang Ho (Yellow River) was in Mongol hands and even the Jin Capital at Beijing was threatened. The Chinese emperor was forced to buy peace by gifting a Jin princess and enormous dowry to Genghis Khan, but no sooner did the invaders begin to withdraw, fighting broke out again, and this time Beijing was not spared.
This took place in 1215. In 1216, Genghis Khan turned back from China and devoted his attention towards Central Asia, which was then dominated by the empire of Sultan Muhammad, comprising present day Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and part of Iran. The immediate provocation for war came from the murder of Genghis Khan's ambassadors at Otrar on the Syr Darya River, and he now proceeded to avenge their death by a full-scale invasion. Setting out in the spring of 1219, he arrived in Otrar by autumn and continued westwards, attacking Bukhara in February 1220 and then Samarkand later in the year.
Sultan Mohammed, who had fled and taken refuge on an island in the Caspian Sea, was pursued by two of Genghis Khan's generals and killed. They advanced further westwards and defeated the Russians and Turks in Crimea before rejoining the main army of Genghis khan in Central Asia. In 1220, Genghis Khan captured Termiz on the Amu Darya River and advanced upto Tajikistan. He then crossed into the northern part of Afghanistan and captured the ancient capital of Balkh. Genghis Khan's conquests were not yet over. Sultan Mohammed's son Jalal-al-Din, had meanwhile regrouped his forces and inflicted defeat on a Mongol force north of Kabul. Genghis Khan, along with his sons, now moved South during the autumn of 1221 and completely overcame the army of Jalal-al-Din by the banks of the River Indus. This virtually brought his campaigns in the west to an end as he now proceeded on the long journey back to Mongolia. In 1226, he was once again engaged in war, this time with the Tangut tribal confederation of China. Although this campaign ended successfully, Genghis khan did not live to see it. The long years of arduous travels and bitter warfare had taken its toll and he died in August 1227, in his summer quarters in the district of Quingshui in Gansu, China.
Genghis Khan was born on the banks of the Onon River, near the present day border between North Mongolia and Southeastern Russia. He was the son of Yesugei, a local chieftain of the Mongol tribe, who was nephew of the former 'Khan' or ruler of the Mongols. His ancestry is traced back many generations to a mythical union of a gray wolf and white doe and legends speak of a clot of blood appearing in the new born infant's hands that portended his great future as a conqueror. Yesugei named his son Temuyin after a Tartar (a rival tribe) chieftain whom he had taken prisoner at the time of the child's birth. At the age of nine, Temuyin was betrothed to a 10-year-old girl Borte, who was the daughter of chief of the Konkirat tribe. Yesugei left his son with his future father-in-law, and was travelling home when he fell prey to a group of Tartars, who seeing their old enemy poisoned him. Yesugei lived long enough to reach his encampment and appoint Temuyin as his successor. After Yesugeis' death, his tribe deserted his wife and family and they were left to fend for themselves.
Genghis Khan was unquestionably the greatest conqueror the world had seen after Alexander and his empire stretched across the length and breadth of Northern Asia from Ukraine to the Okhotsk Sea. He left a legacy that lasted for many centuries and established him as an unparalleled military genius. Genghis Khan saw to it that his vast conquests did no get destroyed by putting his sons and grandsons in charge of the kingdoms he conquered. His grandson Batu founded the Golden Horde, a powerful Mongol state in Russia and Eastern Europe. His son Jagatai founded an empire in Central Asia. Another son Ogadai succeeded Genghis Khan and ruled over Mongolia and Northern China. And his grandsons Mangu Khan, Kublai Khan and Hulagu- all established their own dynasties in China, Persia and Russia.
Genghis Khan is a fascinating figure in history and his rise from a rootless tribal chieftain to a world conqueror never fails to evoke awe. He was not well educated, neither did he know any language other than Mongolian. But his instincts for survival and his genius for marshalling forces contributed greatly towards his great military victories. Although he did not know any foreign language, it is believed that he acquired knowledge of the civilized nations beyond Mongolia through Muslim merchants from Central Asia and his Chinese advisors. But most of all, he relied on his native foundations- his great skills as horseman and courageous soldier. He instituted a legal code known as the Great Yasa, which was based on Mongol Customary Law. And the all-conquering Mongol army too, was developed and honed into a Great War machine, more through inter- tribal warfare than on any foreign model. Genghis khan had many wives and concubines, but it was Borte, his first wife, who gave birth to his four most famous sons: Jochi, Jagatai, Ogadai and Tolui, who were to establish great dynasties of their own.

With the win over Arizona State in overtime on Wednesday night, the UCLA Bruins now face a massive game on Saturday, and wouldn't you know it, the Bruins will be hosting the archrival (in basketball) Arizona Wildcats. But wait, there's more: the game will be the national primetime ESPN telecast, with a 6 PM PST tip, and ESPN's College Gameday studio show will be on Wooden Court inside of Pauley Pavilion for the first time since the fabled structure was reopened this past fall. Now add to these facts the idea that both the Bruins and the Wildcats are at or near the top of the conference standings…like I wrote, this game isn't big, it's massive. This isn't just a game about who may win the Pac-12 Conference title and gain some momentum heading into both the Pac-12 Tournament and the NCAAs, it's a game about perception. With all due respect to the mid-major from Spokane, and to the teams from the Mountain West, the perception about the dominant West Coast program may come down to Saturday's contest. That may or may not be true, but it may be so for the millions of east coast college basketball fans whose interest in teams and games in the west generally ends at Phog Allen Fieldhouse.
The Bruins and Cats come into this game on a divergent path. UCLA defeated Arizona State in overtime on Wednesday while Arizona lost to an inspired USC squad in a game where the score made the game seem closer than it really was. To give you and idea of how well USC handled the Wildcats, USC shot over 60% from the field for the game.
So this game represents another step in UCLA's goal of a conference title, while for Arizona, this represents the Cats' last stand in their quest for the same hardware. To put the game in perspective, should UCLA lose this game it still has an outside shot at the Pac-12 title. Should Arizona lose then its shot at the conference title is officially gone and, depending on what happens elsewhere in Pac-12 play and Arizona's result next week against the Sun Devils, the Wildcats could fall to as low as the 6-seed for the Pac-12 Tournament.
UCLA's (21-7; 11-4 Pac-12) current three-game win streak has been fueled by its collective ability to become better on the offensive end of the floor. Simply put, UCLA has had better offensive efficiency than its last three opponents, Stanford, USC and ASU. Conversely, Arizona (23-5; 11-5 Pac-12) has become almost pedestrian on both ends of the floor. As Arizona's own Scout site wrote after the USC loss, it's as if the Wildcats simply sit around on offense waiting for someone to make some magic out of a one-on-one situation. Arizona is suffering from a similar malaise on the defensive end, allowing five of its last six opponents to shot at least 45% from the floor and seeing three of those five shoot over 50% from the floor.
However, as disjointed as Arizona has looked at times over the last three weeks, this game, like most others, comes down to the match-ups, including the coaching one. It is pretty apparent now that Arizona has better athletes and UCLA has better basketball players. The question is which group will more forcefully impose its collective will on the other.
When UCLA went into Tucson last month and beat the Cats the key match-up was predicted to be that of UCLA's Larry Drew II going up against Arizona's Mark Lyons (6'1" 200 lbs.) at the point. Drew clearly won that battle and now they face round two. Lyons is a little quicker and stronger than Drew, but the UCLA point has proven over the course of the season to be the smarter player, generally playing within himself for the benefit of the team. Lyons, while leading the Wildcats in scoring at over 15 PPG, is not a true point guard. In fact, he averages almost as many turnovers per contest as he does assists. He is clearly a scoring point guard. Against the Bruins last month Lyons had 5 turnovers and zero assists as well as shooting 6-17 from the floor. Lyons scored 14 points against USC earlier in the week but only made one shot from the floor. His 12 made free throws, though, prove that he was adept at getting into the lane for contact. It will be interesting to see if UCLA's coach Ben Howland will have Drew (and Norman Powell) play off Lyons and force him to try and shoot his way out of his current outside shooting slump.
Arizona's starting two guard, sophomore Nick Johnson (6'3" 200 lbs.), is also in a protracted shooting slump. He did not have a good game at USC. He does offer outstanding jumping ability coupled with a decent three-point shot (34%). His three-point percentage was much better earlier in the year but his shooting slump has really impacted that. He'll be primarily facing either UCLA's Jordan Adams or Shabazz Muhammad. The reason for that is because Arizona's coach Sean Miller has decided to go with a three-guard attack, with senior Kevin Parrom (6'6" 220 lbs.) being the third guard/wing starter. Parrom is a better defender than Johnson because of his superior lateral quickness (although Parrom isn't a lock-down guy by any stretch) and Miller may have Parrom guard the one between Adams and Muhammad who is having the better run of play at a given moment. Adams and Muhammad combined for 38 point in Tucson. Parrom is slightly longer than Muhammad and definitely has a length advantage over Adams, but the problem for Arizona and Miller is that, when in a man defense, Johnson, who just doesn't have great lateral quickness, will have to guard one of them. The Bruins should have a decided advantage with whomever is being guarded by Johnson. Further, Adams especially has become so deft at certain defensive plays that he may actually have the ability to completely contain Johnson in this game.
Backcourt depth is provided by junior Jordin Mayes (6'3" 200 lbs.), but as Miller's bench has gotten shorter, so has Mayes' playing time. He has played a total of 29 minutes the past five games combined. For those of you who, like me, are math-challenged, that's less than 6 MPG. Miller has preferred to use one of his stable of post players to come in and play the four spot and move senior Solomon Hill (6'7" 220 lbs.) to the small forward position.
Hill is clearly the one Wildcat who has a match-up advantage over whichever Bruin is guarding him. He averages right around 14 PPG and 5.3 RPG. More than that, though, is his ability to consistently hit his shots. He is 46% from the field and 39% from behind the arc. However, by starting Hill at the four the past few games and presumably against the Bruins, Miller is creating even more of a general match-up advantage for UCLA. When Miller had freshman Brandon Ashley (6'8" 235 lbs.) in the starting five, as he did when these teams met in January, it forced Howland to counter with Kyle Anderson to guard him. Hill has a strength, length and athletic advantage over Muhammad, who was forced to guard Hill much of the game. With Hill as the power forward, Howland can assign defensive duties to Anderson, who matches up much better against the Wildcat senior.
Speaking of Ashley, he makes up one of the three-headed monster that Miller uses in the low post. Ashley's low post teammates who play are also true freshmen, Kaleb Tarczewski (7'0" 255 lbs.) and Grant Jerrett (6'10" 235 lbs.). The Bruins truly have no defensive answer to Tarczewski should he decide to become more assertive on offense and his team decides to get him the ball. Jerrett has been a bit of a disappointment to Wildcat fans because they thought he'd quickly become and inside/outside force. He hasn't become either, although he has shot the long ball pretty well this season. The fact is that while Arizona has a decided size advantage in the post, the Wildcats generally don't take advantage of that. Ashley and Jerrett are both long, rangy players and they struggled with the ability of both Travis Wear and David Wear to step outside and hit jumpers. Arizona is certainly deeper up front, but none of the freshmen Wildcats have been as influential as Anderson has been for the Bruins.
The final evaluation has to come down to the coaching match-up. This is going to turn into a bit of an op-ed piece here, so be prepared. Say what you will about Miller's ability to recruit, which has been remarkably good and lucky (Derrick Williams) since his arrival in Tucson, the reality is that he is a mediocre game coach. In many ways he is Calipari-light in that he relies on his recruiting skills to gain a talent advantage that is so great over the other team that his average Xs-and-Os ability won't impact the team in the won/loss column. Problem for Arizona is that Miller doesn't recruit nearly as well as Calipari and the Kentucky coach has developed into a decent floor tactician, even if he is still clearly overrated. Now Miller is faced with the task of trying to motivate a team that is clearly disjointed and just got beat badly by an inferior opponent, to play a team whose coach, at least, seems to have Miller's number.
Say what you want about Howland, the reality is that he has outcoached Miller far more times than not, going back to the Elite Eight game in the 2007 NCAAs. It's ironic that for such an accomplished college point guard, as Miller was, he doesn't adjust well or quickly to game situations.
It will be interesting to see if Arizona truly does get fired up for this game, or whether the Bruins do the same, for that matter. The answers to those really could be the determining factors. See, if Arizona State was a bad match-up for the Bruins, then fans need to understand that UCLA is a bad match-up for Arizona, especially if Miller decides to go small. Howland generally wins the coaching match-up with Miller, which is another factor in UCLA's favor. It's the final home game of what's been a bit of a tumultuous year for the Bruins, but they've been playing better of late and Howland has several days, not just one, to get the team prepared. Finally, Travis Wear may very well return, adding to UCLA's thin frontcourt depth. Even if the Burin junior only plays for a few minutes, those minutes may be critical, especially if someone gets in foul trouble.
With all that looking like it should go in UCLA's favor, why the hesitancy to pick the Bruins? Because no one knows which Bruin team will show, the motivated one or the disinterested one. Things that would typically motivate most teams (conference title, NCAA seeding, etc.) may not motivate this Bruin squad.
Then there's the question of the Cats. Will they come out angry and motivated or still in shock over the USC loss? Miller may be thankful right now for the extra day between games.
However, imagine for a moment, Bruin fans, if Arizona shows up with a disinterested attitude and UCLA hits the floor with passion. This game could then turn into a blowout.
While I don't think that will happen, it is nice to dream, isn't it?
Arizona 71

I only have a basic understanding of why CAI is mostly worthless, but the gist is that more air is not necessarily a good thing. For any given throttle position except wide open throttle, the engine only needs a certain amount of air, and the stock system is more than adequate to provide that. At wide open throttle, a CAI probably lets the engine suck in more air, but at what cost? And how much are you actually gaining, other than noise? A couple HP at most?

Eventually the filter will get saturated enough that it starts pulling in water, or during winter it could become encrusted with ice and choke the engine.
I'm all for DIY that improves a car in one way or another, but there is nothing good about what you've done here. I just hope there's enough backlash in this thread to prevent any hapless googler from trying it themselves.

Speedy thinks the top-ranked Irish will prevail in a couple hours vs. defending champ No. 2 Alabama.
"I think Notre Dame is going to pull it off," said Noil, who engineered Edna Karr's undefeated run to the 4A state title last month at QB.
Noil plans to move to receiver full-time in college and hopes to take as many reps as possible at WR during his senior season.
Here's what several other top 2014 prospects had to say about Alabama vs. Notre Dame:
Cameron Sims (WR, Ouachita): "I think that Alabama will pull out the hard-fought game because I don't think Notre Dame is ready for Alabama's run or passing game, and I also don't think Notre Dame has seen an Alabama-type defense."
Sims is ranked among the nation's top 300 junior prospects and has garnered interest from both the Crimson Tide and Fighting Irish.
Kenny Young (LB, John Curtis Christian): "I think it's going to be a very competitive game. Alabama has a powerhouse and Notre Dame has a lot of talent, as well. They are two championship games, and I think the game will be close."
Young is also ranked among the nation's top 300 junior prospects. He's the country's No. 11 outside linebacker in the 2014 class.
Four-star tight end Jacory Washington (Westlake) and John Curtis cornerback Terrence Alexander, who holds several BCS offers, each expect the Tide to defend its title, as does 2015 RB/DB Orlando Bradford (Calvary Baptist).
"I think that Alabama is going to win 21-to-14," wrote Bradford, a top sophomore from the Shreveport area.
St. Augustine five-star Leonard Fournette, the country's top-ranked running back, declined to make a prediction but a couple of RBs from Curtis, the prep football national champions, gave their take - and the two were divided.
"I think Notre Dame is going to pull out with a win," said George Moreira, who averaged over 13 yards per carry for the Patriots. "Even though they are the underdog I still think they will pull off a win.
"Their defense has been playing at optimum level and their offense is scoring points, so I'm going to say Notre Dame."
Moreira's backfield mate, Raekwon James, mildly disagreed.
"I say it can go either way but I say Alabama 28-10," said James, a veteran star in the Curtis backfield who earned MVP honors in the state title game as a sophomore.
Patterson 2016 WR prodigy Mykel Jones joined the contingent calling for a Crimson Tide repeat.
"Alabama," Jones wrote when asked his projected winner. "I just want to see a hard-fought football game, but what I don't want to see is a blowout."

text: Alright guys, first and foremost, I searched all over and came up with nothing. The FAQS don't have a write-up on this issue and I'd post this in the 337/20th/GLI forum but it doesn't move for ****. I figured you guys can provide me with some insight since the Recaros are commonly swapped into the non-special edition mk4's. Anyway, what have you guys done to repair the bottom bolster part? You know, the one that holds your ass in place. Mine is in need of replacement because I'm afraid that getting in and out of the car will wear the cloth since it's down to the metal portion of the seat. I looked into buying a replacement bolster (if I can even find one) and they're pretty expensive. Is there a cheaper alternative? Maybe mocking one up from a gti sport seat? I have no idea but any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks home-fries!

"I loved these invites for my son's 4th birthday. The quality was excellent and everyone commented on how adorable the invitation was."
"Love this invitation! I was looking for a princess themed product for my daughter's third birthday party. Beautiful thick paper. I liked that this one had a good bit of room for my text. I bought the extra scalloped edges and love how it turned out. I have received several complements. Quick shipping."
"We were so happy to find this card after searching & searching for a space themed non-alien type invitation. The design is adorable and I loved that I could include a pic on the front & back of my little astronaut! As always, tiny prints service is fast and the printing quality is top notch! Thank you!!"
"Well made paper. Love the edge option which makes it a little whimsical. Customer service was excellent about solving photo issue and delivery."
"When my daughter requested a pink princess party - I cringed. There was no way I was going to have Disney Princesses everywhere. When I found this design - I was very excited. It is unique and sweet. It became my jumping off point for decorations."

The legacy of George Bush lives on and on. In the fall of 2007, Bush encouraged Ethiopia to invade Somalia in order to overthrow an Islamist government. Christian Ethiopia invaded Somalia and destroyed the Islamist government which was replaced by a weak Islamist government. During the ensuing years civil war raged in Somalia as most groups wanted to rid themselves of the Christian Ethiopian invaders. Finally, a few months ago, the Ethiopian army left and a new war broke out in which Islamist groups, including those affiliated with al-Qaeda, have been gaining power.
Witnesses on the border of Ethiopia and Somalia claim Ethiopian troops have crossed over and are establishing check points on roads and in villages. The Ethiopian government denies their presence although its Communication Minister Bereket Simon notes his nation is "not contemplating going back there for the moment." African Union sources suggest they will return because Ethiopia fears an Islamist force on its border that might stir up Muslims in their nation.
It's a mess.

text: A delinquent child is anyone under the age of 18 who violates the law. A petition must be filed and the juvenile court must find the charges to be true or dismiss them. If the charges are found to be true, either through admission by the minor or by a trial of facts, the minor may be removed from the home. For lesser crimes, the minor may remain with a parent (s) under certain conditions of probation, detained in juvenile hall for a limited term or placed in any of a variety of programs. Some younger, less criminally sophisticated juveniles who require a residential-type intervention are sent to The Warren E. Thornton Youth Center. An extension of this facility, is the Sandra L. Larson Youth Center where up to 77 minors may be housed. For more serious crimes, the delinquent may be ordered committed to the Sacramento County Boys Ranch of the California Youth Authority (CYA). For some crimes, a minor who meets the criteria outlined in the Welfare and Institutions Code may be tried and sentenced as an adult.

He called her "Tiny Tim" and pretended to beg for food like the dickensian character.
Musician and civil rights legend Harry Belafonte decried "our deeply dickensian justice system."
The look combines two disparate classes of the dickensian world, shown in unison to cool effect.
Willimon felt that Frank Underwood as a name "felt dickensian and more legitimately American" than Francis Urquhart.
The passages about the poor and criminal sections of the city are very … dickensian.
Among other lesser points, he was not a Socialist; he was a sort of dickensian anarchist.
If this information be correct, the colonel should be remembered by the distinctly dickensian title of "Job" Trotter.
God forbid that any one (especially any dickensian) should dilute or discourage the great efforts towards social improvement.
At Powells the old dickensian tradition was kept vigorously alive by every possible means.
For these reasons it may therefore be said to be the most important of all the dickensian inns.

Feature #11117
Option for disabling the statistics section on the map/briefing screen

|Related to content of DLC:
As it is today there is a statistics section together with the tasks and notes.
Selecting that menu shows you what kind of units you've killed and the number of them, together with your casualties.
This section is also available when the scorelist is disabled in the difficulty settings, giving more information to the player than the mission designer/server operator would prefer.
I therefore suggest either:
- Disable the statistics section when the scorelist is disabled
- Add an option to disable the statistics through the client and server configs.
To reproduce:
- Disable score board in difficulty settings
- Run any mission in multiplayer and kill a unit
- Open the map
- Observe the newly added "Statistics"
- Click on it to see what kinds of unit and how many of them you've killed

Optional please. Disabled scorelist prevents you from comparing yourself with others, while statistics lets you check your own performance and you can compare them to your own goals. Not the same.
Perhaps the scoreboard should have more settings, instead of just on and off:
All - Even for all teams.
Allies - Shows everyone on your side, including other factions if applicable.
Side - Shows everyone on your side, excluding other factions in case of changing allies.
Group - Shows everyone in your own squad.
Self - Only shows your own score.
None - Completely unavailable, and then also turns off the Statistics.
Again, the best approach would be if server can dictate the maximum information available, while mission or user can state lower ones. I.e. server may use Side since it hosts some CTI maps. But a coop mission may override this to say Group only, but it can not override the servers maximum and set it to all (Side would then be used instead). A users setting can then allow even harder standards if he desires. I.e. I never want to compare myself to others, but keeping track of my own "score" is sometimes desired.
This idea extends to all difficulty settings. If server says that crosshairs are allowed, then for Gods sake let me be able to turn them off for myself; mods so often not allowed, or there may be situations where I actually need to turn them back on temporarily (locking indicators, BMP3 sidegunners etc). If server says no crosshairs, then naturally I shouldn't be able to turn them on.
Should a new ticket be opened for this?
Updated by kju about 7 years ago
And no scoreboard + no kills combo is meant to not know about kills at all
during the mission runtime. Therefore the current behavior is buggy and undesired.

Making it interlinked with netStats settings (scoreboard) is probably fine

This wasnt on St. Patty's day was it?
yea, the words "dig through purse" gives me a horrid taste in my mouth.
I'm not for off-bodied carry at all, but if you are going to do it you CERTAINLY need to have a purse meant for CCing, one that the gun has its own pouch that you can get to VERY quickly

Do you folks mind if I ask what this product is?
The misses and I are awaiting our CHL and she is set on using her purse as a means to hold. It's more like a sling/sachel type thing. I wish I knew what it was called (or i'll post a photo of it later tonight).
But she can place her px4 storm sc in it and it conceals fine and she only keeps her wallet in there (so no clutter). But my concern is the trigger being exposed and would prefer to have a trigger cover that holsters provide.
BTW: I am glad your wife came out unharmed and that you shared the experience with us. :)
I would hate to see if he didn't like her green top.
Might want to make sure she keeps a knife handy as well, if he was that close reaching for a pistol in a purse might be a bit difficult and a pocket knife clipped to her back pocket might of been easyer to deploy. My girlfriend keeps 3 on her that she carries daily and switches (between the many we have) depending on what she is wearing. Glad nothing happened.

I have a Roma backpack style but I usually carry in my 5.11 Push Pak (similar to a Maxpedition Versipak & Fatboy)...and use it as a purse. All of these have cc pouches with velcro'd in holsters too.
The Cornered Cat site also has a list.
Good luck to your wife!
This was a concern of mine as well and that's why I ordered my M&P with a thumb safety. I carry with a round chambered, but safety on.
And with practice, a woman with good SA can have her gun ready and/or drawn as fast as a man. She can have her hand on her gun at anytime she chooses.
The main drawback is retention. Yes, you may have the purse stolen from you. To me, that's not likely any worse than a regular mugging if they just take it and go. You lose the gun. Argh, yes. But the gun is just a thing, like a wallet.
If they grab or hold you up for your purse, and you havent already prepared, give them the purse and start heading in the opposite direction asap. Dont wait around for them to find it.
(And I never forget my purse. Not since the early 90s anyway)

If you're seeing this video, the PM is very much alive
Page Tools
Seven months, and he will be the second-longest serving PM ... Mr Howard and his wife Janette arrive last night. Photo: Penny Bradfield
John Howard declared last night that after 30 years in Parliament he still had many milestones to achieve, in the strongest indication yet that he intends to stay on as Prime Minister for a full term if he wins the next election - and perhaps indefinitely.
Mr Howard said he was "very keen to keep going" in the top job during an interview shown at a gathering last night to mark his three decades.
For his heir apparent, Peter Costello - who had the role of introducing Mr Howard at the campaign fund-raising dinner attended by politicians, business people and community leaders - it was a clear message that he cannot expect to be handed the reins of power any time soon.
Mr Howard's comments were made in a video celebrating his career that included tributes from businessmen and women, sports stars, his colleagues and community workers.
The Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer, praised Mr Howard's youth, energy, intelligence and ideas, also indicating that his leader intended to stay on.
"It's the youth and energy - despite the fact that he's over 60 - that's so impressive about him," Mr Downer said. "You never get the feeling he's finished his work."
In the video interview, by John Mangos, Mr Howard said "nobody goes on forever, but the way I feel at the moment there's a lot of things I am very keen to do because there are a lot of things to do".
And if anyone was in doubt about his sincerity or motivation for remaining in the job, there was emphatic backing from his wife, Janette, who also appeared in a rare joint interview.
While Mr Howard has repeatedly said he will stay on as prime minister as long as the Liberal Party wants him to, Janette Howard said he should stay on as long as he wanted to.
In the video, Liberal MP Pat Farmer gives Mr Costello some friendly advice about Mr Howard: "Anybody [who] thinks he's done with that work are just kidding themselves."
The former ultra-marathon runner said people had more stamina the older they got and that Mr Howard was showing he had a vision for the future: "He's got a lot more to do."
The RSL head, Rusty Priest, said that from what he has seen of Mr Howard he would never walk away when he sees there are more things to do. He suggested that he would relish a tight election. "If he sees there is still work to do, then John Howard, in my book, will stay."
The video also dwells on John Howard the family man - possibly to counter the image of the Labor leader, Mark Latham, as a sensitive new age father calling on parents to read to their children.
Janette Howard praises her husband's commitment to their children - Melanie, Richard and Tim - saying that even though he was away a lot, he helped when he could.
The Hordern Pavilion event, attended by 1200 people paying $275 a head, was always going to be a night of tribute, but it was no valediction.
Pauline Hanson declared in her famous video that if people were watching it, she was dead.
John Howard has now made one to remind people that he isn't, and isn't planning to be for some considerable time yet.
He is the third-longest serving prime minister. Another seven months and he would surpass Bob Hawke. And, as Peter Costello may have noted, nine years and eight months beyond that, he would overtake Robert Menzies

|Trying too hard? April 5, 2012
|By M. Becker (Park Ridge, IL) -- See All My Reviews
|The CD is full of passion and intensity, but fails due to technical issues. Ms. Lemper's voice is sometimes strained, her vibrato is often out of control, and her intonation, when she is not singing in sprechstimme, is only close. As far as the technical issues of the CD, the Vogler Quartet is by far and away the highlight of the CD. Their playing is tight, focused and wide ranging in intensity and timbre. It is however recorded as less than an equal partner to Ms. Lemper. At times, one has the impression that one is listening to a shellac 78, with an overlayed contemporary tract featuring Ms. Lemper. Where they even recorded in the same studio? The CD is in my opinion a disappointment. M. Becker Report Abuse
