So I would like to have a pot model that I can "turn" the pot knob as part of a parameter sweep.
I have the following model:
.SUBCKT SIMPLEPOT__POT__1 1 T 2 PARAMS: VALUE=1k SET=0.5 RT 1 T {VALUE*(1-SET)+0.001} RB T 2 {VALUE*SET + 0.001}
This works fine as a simple model and, in fact, when I go to "edit model" on the part on the schematic, it gives me a box for "Current instance parameters:" as PARAMS: VALUE=1k SET=0.5 that I can edit.
However, when I try to run a parameterized sweep, I can't get hold of VALUE or SET anywhere. I can access rt & rb separately as part of "device parameters" (which doesn't really do any good since I want them to change simultaneously, not as a nested sweep), but I can't access the custom parameters.
Is there another way of setting a model up where I can access custom parameters in a sweep?
Best regards,
Hi Mike,
The parameter sweep can only modify basic parameters for SPICE models. Essentially, by the time simulation starts, the equation has already been evaluted, which is why this approach doesn't work.
One alternative is to create a "voltage-controlled potentiometer." Then, vary the voltage through the parameter sweep to get the desired sweeping effect. eCircuit Center describes the basic idea for a voltage-controlled resistor.
My SPICE is a little rusty, so if you've gotten this far, I'm guessing you can probably put this together faster than me. Let me know if you have questions or difficulties and I can definitely point you in the right direction.

But soon after their arrival, a second victim is found. The town closes ranks. And both Jeffrey and Sara find themselves entangled in a horrifying underground world of bigotry and rage - a violent world which shocks even them, a world that puts their own lives in jeopardy.
Only Jeffrey and Sara can free Lena from the web of lies, betrayal, and brutality that has trapped her. But can they discover the truth before the killer strikes again?

"Don't bother!"
To have listened to the complete story. The abridged version was a complete waste of time. (I downloaded this version in error!)
Only abridged books
As abive
"Good story as usual but reader not good and some left out"
Not as enjoyable as other performances. The story was good but narrated badly especially the male impersonations. Also the words clipped out a few times
"Awful abridged version- avoid"
This is the worst abridged audio cd I've ever listened to. It has random harmonica music playing over parts of the story, chunks repeated, stuttering disjointed sentences. I cannot believe this has passed any publishing standard. Whoever edited this was totally incompetent. It's impossible to follow the story line; it jumps from one conversation/setting to something different. I shall be returning it. I hadn't realised it was an abridged version until I started listening and it became obvious parts were cut out mid sentence- very poor quality.
"Music unacceptable"
As always Karin Slaughter doesn't disappoint but this audible version with music at the beginning and end of each chapter is awful. Much preferred the earlier versions of the Grant County Series.

Tries from Jaco van der Westhuyzen and Joe van Niekerk helped the Boks to an early 23-6 lead, but a Schalk Burger sin-binning aided a Wales fightback.
A Gavin Henson try and Stephen Jones (21 points) brought it to 23-22, before Jean de Villiers and Percy Montgomery (23 points) took the Boks away.
Henson got his second, then Dwayne Peel crossed with the last move of the game.
It was a nightmare start for the home side, the Springboks' superior physical presence at the breakdown forcing a Wales
offence, Montgomery landing a first-minute penalty.
The visitors' forwards were delivering perfect ball, with the outstanding Victor Matfield to the fore, and when Marius Joubert played a neat switch in midfield he found himself in acres of space.
Wales responded with some heavy tackling and good driving play, Luscombe again prominent, and were rewarded with two
Stephen Jones penalties against one from Montgomery.
But when Michael Owen spilt attacking ball, Newport-based Montgomery quickly punished his adopted country, bursting through a
weak Colin Charvis tackle.
Montgomery and Jones exchanged penalties as referee Paddy O'Brien repeatedly blew up for handling at the ruck, and on the
stroke of half-time Springbok flanker Burger was yellow carded for his third offence.
Jones landed the goal, and added another soon after the break when a superb Peel break forced van Niekerk into a
cynical offence to deny a try.
The visitors were shaken further as Dafydd Jones stole maul ball deep in their half before rumbling over the top of
South African discomfort was short-lived, a great midfield break sending De Wet Barry on a 50-yard run, only for the centre
to be superbly held up over the line by Wales captain Gareth Thomas.
From the resulting scrum, Joubert sent a neat inside pass to replacement de Villiers, who restored South Africa's
comfort zone with a converted try.
The game was getting loose, and when Shane Williams spilled the ball under a heavy Bakkies Botha tackle it came to van der
Westhuyzen on the wing.
Wales brought on fresh legs, and after good work from the forwards Sonny Parker fed Henson in the corner for his second try.
Then, with the last move of the match, the mighty Springbok scrum was destroyed by tight-head Adam Jones, their defensive set-piece sent into disarray and allowing Peel to sneak over for a memorable, if ultimately worthless, score.

Robert Kubica won't be racing in single-seaters anytime soon as the arm that he injured in a rally crash last year hasn't fully recovered yet.
The Pole has been sidelined from Formula 1 since his horrific accident in a rally in February of 2011 and although he has been participating in minor events this year, the route to the top league is still out of reach.
"For the, let's say future, I don't have any plans up until now. In the end, I am still at the stage of rehabilitation but for sure I would love to compete in a high level championship, or in a rally or on a circuit," Kubica told Reuters.
"Let's see, until now I did some rallies, I did some testing on the race track and I hope my hand will improve and my general condition will improve," he added.
Recently, the 27-year-old won the Rally di Como, a minor league event, behind the wheel of a Citroen World Rally Championship car, indicating that he is still competitive in motorsport.
But a return to F1, or any other single-seater car for that matter, isn't on the cards just yet due to his weakened arm.
"It is has been a long time unfortunately (since) I stopped with Formula 1, so my contacts are very limited because in all these months I have been concentrating on coming back and getting my health and body back to the best condition," he said.

Body Shape & Aesthetics
The American Professional Stratocaster features a classic alder body, with comfortable contours that every player will love. Alder is the perfect choice for a guitar body as it produces a resonant and balanced tone with plenty of clarity. It is also lightweight enabling the guitar to be played all night long without strain on your shoulder. Fender have used alder as their tonewood of choice for electric guitars since the 1950's as the balanced response and slight upper middle definition makes it perfect for rock and blues playing. The American Professional Strat is finished in a Gloss Polyurethane coating along with an Olympic White colour. Classic Fender appointments such as aged white control knobs, angled headstock and 3-ply parchment pickguard finish the look.
Deep C Neck Profile
This iconic guitar is paired with a new Deep C maple neck designed for comfort and speed. Unlike other neck profiles, the Deep C features more substantial shoulders which creates a more natural feel in the player's hand, perfect achieving chords and single notes. Mounted with a maple fingerboard, players can achieve a snappy tone, compared to a rosewood.
Narrow Tall Frets
Another new edition on this model are 22 narrow tall frets which are mounted on the maple fingerboard. These are slightly narrower than standard medium jumbo frets and are effective for bending notes and playing chords with superb intonation.
V-Mod Pickups with Treble Bleed Circuit
A trio of newly appointed V-mod single coil pickups are the main feature of this guitar, and include a blend of alnico magnets. Each pickup is voiced specifically for its position and delivers a full host of high-output tones along with vintage warmth and crisp clarity. In addition to this perfect trio, the American Pro also features a treble bleed circuit which maintains the high-end when played at low volumes. This is a particularly great feature for home practice when loud volume isn't permitted.
Pop-in Tremolo Arm
Another new addition, is the pop-in Tremolo arm which stay firmly in place regardless of hard you play. The arm tension can also be adjusted to achieve perfect pitch bending effects.
Real Bone Nut
As well as offering the perfect tone and looks, the American Pro also features a real bone nut, which maintains the guitar's authentic appearance. The main benefit of a real bone nut compared to modern materials is that bone offers excellent resonance and sustain. A bone nut also delivers a very balanced tone, and will last a long time. In addition, this type of nut naturally self lubricates and helps you stay in tune for longer.
Elite Moulded Case
Finally, no guitar would be complete without a hardshell case. The Elite moulded case features body-hugging contours which holds your guitar firmly in place. TSA latches are also included for enhanced security and easy access. This durable case is also stackable for easy storage and transport.

Remember that one time Jennifer Lawrence stalked her celebrity crush, John Stamos, and he asked her if she was on mushrooms?
Jennifer Lawrence is as entertaining off-screen as she is on, and has become known for her often uncensored and off-the-cuff proclamations during interviews and acceptance speeches. The quirky, filter-less actress appeared Tuesday night on Conan O'Brien to talk celebrity crushes and that one time she ran into her main man, John Stamos.
Despite the age gap (Lawrence is 22 to Stamos's 49-years), the Hunger Games actress is positively enamored with the former Full House heartthrob, and confessed that her tongue fell victim to the proverbial cat when she met him for the first time.
"He was at a party, and I turned into a perverted guy," Lawrence told Coco. "I was, like, following him into rooms and staring at his ass."
Then, believe it or not, things got real.
"I lost my mind," she recalled. "And I got so upset — I didn't want to meet him because when I meet people, it's never good, and I was avoiding him, but then my friends brought him over because my friends are jerks, and I started really freaking out and he asked me if I was on mushrooms and I was like, 'No. I'm dead sober. This is just me.'"
Stamos admitted that he was surprised by Lawrence's confession, tweeting:
for the first time i was totally obliviousRT @teamcoco "I looked at his ass the entire time, like a dirty guy." Jenn… say.ly/MDF57gp
— John Stamos (@JohnStamos) February 6, 2013
i envy myself! RT @nickjonas JS gets a shout out from Jennifer Lawrence on Conan. "I looked at his ass the entire time" I envy you JS.
— John Stamos (@JohnStamos) February 6, 2013
Bits of fun trivia: Lawrence was born three years after Stamos made his Full House debut as Jesse Katsopolis. Stamos was also married to actress Rebecca Romijn from 1998 to 2005, who is arguably most popular for her role as Mystique in the X-Men film franchise. The role of Mystique went to none other than Jennifer Lawrence in the 2011 prequel, X-Men: First Class.

Cheesy soup leads to Rachael Ray gig
An avid "Rachael Ray Show" fan, Cathy Michener answered this question posed by the popular daytime host: "What are some of your favorite comfort foods?"
"When I was a little girl, I remembered my grandma made this cheesy potato soup," said Michener, a Belle Vernon Area school director. "So, I just sent it in."
The Rostraver Township woman didn't expect a call from the hit daytime show, but then her phone rang.
As a result, Michener and her family were featured Tuesday on the New Year's Eve episode featuring Ray's Top 10 recipes of 2013.
"The producer, Jessica, called and said that Rachael wanted me to make the soup and then serve it to my family," Michener said. "She sent us directions on how the segment had to go, and we did it."
Michener's husband, Dean, served as cameraman and director for the homemade production.
"Well, we took many takes, let's say that much," Michener said of the taping session. "Either I didn't smile enough, or I had potatoes in my hair ... or I had to tilt something a certain way."
It was fitting that Michener chose the soup recipe, because she got to serve it to her grandson, Trevor Zuzak, for the first time.
"My son (David Zuzak) was stationed in Georgia while in the U.S. Army. He was back and had my grandson with him so it was really special for me," she said. "He never had it before, so, I got to serve it to my grandson, just like my grandmother served it to me."
Michener said everyone was "very, very well-behaved" during the taping.
"At first when I told them that the show called me they didn't believe it," she said of her family. "Once they realized it was true, everything went great."
After sending the video, Michener didn't know what to expect.
"A few days later, Jessica called back and said that Rachael loved it," Michener reported. "Unfortunately, the video we sent was just a bit too long. But she said they were doing a Rachael's Top 10 Recipes of the Year show, and they wanted me to choose one and do the same thing.
"I'm not sure what number it is, but I chose to do the Chicken and Green Bean Casserole."
A couple of weeks after the first tape session, the Micheners were back in the kitchen. And Dean, a barber by day, was back behind the camera.
"The second time was a little easier," she said with a laugh. "We had two weeks in between to get it together.
"As fun as it was, it gets a little nerveracking. When you make things at home, you don't have to describe what you're doing step by step. I had to do it twice, so the second time was a little easier."
The second go-round did not include her grandson, but her other son, Zachary Zuzak, made the cast. Zachary Zuzak is stationed in Virginia with the U.S. Coast Guard.
"The timing worked out again, because we aren't able to get together a whole lot," she said. "It was definitely special."
Michener said the experience was rewarding and fun.
"The video had to be to them by 10 a.m. on Monday, and there we were at midnight Sunday night cooking and serving," she said with a chuckle. "They called us and said they got it and that it was decided it was going to air on New Year's Eve. Our DVR is set.
"It was just a fun experience overall, and I'd definitely do it again."

" Brand: The Body Shop / Creams / Gender: for men / Type: Shave Cream / What it does: Smoothes, "
My husband does not wet shave and when this product was included in a Christmas box of goodies, it seemed a shame to let it go to waste so I tucked in!
Obviously I cannot comment on how it makes your face feel. After all, I am a lady and so only ever use wax on my face! ;o) I used this product on my legs and it was dreamy!
The shaving cream is rich and thick and creamy and coats your skin well. It lathers easily and shaves off easily, taking all those pesky hairs with it.
The smell is very light - neither particularly masculine or feminine and so suitable for the shaving of all hairs on all species (of human!)
I didn't really like the fact it came in a tub. I prefer a tube for ease of squeeze and because they stay neat and tidy. But it was nice and thick so perhaps it needs a tub rather than a tube.
I wouldn't necessarily buy this product because I am a woman and it says 'for men' on the tub but if I wasn't so shallow, I would definitely invest in some more. It was a very good luxurious shaving cream.
Now before I start, lets just make it clear. I used this product when shaving an area of my body that was not my face. However, the same principles should apply! I would normally wax, but when pushed for time, we have to cut the odd corner.
Anyway, cut to the chase, how did this shaving cream perform?
Well, quite simply, the best I've ever used.
The 200ml tub is a screw top and the cream can be applied by scooping some up in your fingers and rubbing it on to the area to be shaved.
The cream feels very kind to the skin. Soothing, slippery and moisturizing. All you need really! It works up a nice lather and covers your skin nicely. It only has a light fragrance, and is certainly not overwhelming.
The big plus of course, is that it is manufactured to the Body Shops strict ethical standards. On some products, this gives you a compromise on quality, but this is not the case with the shaving creme.
Many shaving products come with very strong colours or smells, but this creme is simply effective and kind to your skin.
It is slightly pricy compared to other cremes on the market, but It will last a long time and I guess you pay a premium for ethically sound items like this.
The ingredients are listed below in case they make any sense to you!
Water, Stearic Acid, Myristic Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Coconut Acid, Glycerin, Triethanolamine, Fragrance, Panthenol, Phenoxyethanol, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Hydroxide, Butylparaben, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Retinyl Palmitate, Tetrasodium EDTA.
Scowled decades pre lube-strip, The Fall lyric . . .You won't find anything more ridiculous, than this new profile Razor unit, made with the highest British attention to the wrong detail. . . probably wasn't a specific critique of the increasingly preposterous modern disposable razor. Instead The classical, was to me a more general rail against commercial and political modernism and the self-deluding falseness masquerading as progress it brings. Within this, razors were a good example of marketing's contribution to the madness.
Shaving, i.e. the process of scraping-off body hair with a sharp piece of metal, is essentially a simple procedure. Yet, like most essentially-uncomplicated grooming rituals, it has been hijacked by the marketeers. The net result? A market plethoric with artificially-convoluted and utterly pointless technical aids. Witness: gee-gaws requiring batteries to sonorically pulsate hairs into erect scythe-fodder, or others with the cutting equivalence of miniaturised combined harvester. Witness too, their promotion by grotesque masculine stereotypes fostering blokey clichés to convince that shaves are better, easier, faster, more technical and sexier than ever before. Cobblers.
In this, we, the British public, have been brainwashed out of the opportunity of enjoying the simple art of shaving -that noble art -that is perfectly well served by and requires nothing more than a stick with a blade on it.
Oh and of course a luxurious shaving cream, which, with extracts of sesame and coconut, softens the beard and skin and which also, by nature of a glycerin base lubricates and moisturises leaving a hydrated complexion in the post-blade-scrape period.
A squat and rotund body shop tub, first encountered as a 1990's bran tub present, brought me all this.
Prior to this Christmas gift, I was a parky shaver. Miserliness oft saw me ignore razor manufacturer's guidance with respect to frequency of blade re-use. This and shaving foams/gels of dubious quality regularly saw haemorrhagic rashes on the jugular region of my jowls, lending my neck a complexion akin to the pimpled buttocks of obese Geordie footballers. Only a face scrape frequency of less than two per week could check this issue. Alas, this frequency led to days of ginger beard breakthrough, giving my chin, set against a pasty skin-tone, the appearance of a cigarette filter.
Body shop shaving crème changed all this. Best of all it did so in an understated manner. Essentially a thickly-unctuous, pale-yellow, semi-solid plonked in a tub, there is no brouhaha about or around it. Beautifully plain and simple there are no great attempts at engineering needless solutions to problems that don't exist. This product is what it is and nothing more a tub of cream. All it needs to spring to life is a few fingers to scoop, a few more to smear and of course its raison d'être -hairy parts.
Initially easy to dismiss decoratively; comprising basically a tub with a screw top lid and plastic protective insert. Yet in its rotund, puck-like dumpiness lies elegance of practicality. Other shaving products tend towards the elongated metallic cylinder form. They also opt for click-on caps that become too claggy with product and eventually fail to click. Rendered useless said tops then bounce all over the bathroom floor. Never more so then when a trailing elbow sets into place an aerosolised version of domino rally on the bathroom windowsill a cacophonous cascade in which modern shave cream dispensers are complicit.
In contrast Body shop's tub quite simply can not fall over; it would require a thwack from a hockey stick to dislodge it from its sink-nest. The screw top too, and its counterpart insert, never fail, this prevents solidification of the unguent at exit point and makes for a tidier compact toiletry abode. It is the embodiment of minimalism.
The only criticism form-wise, is in the reaction of airport security staff. Once, pre-war-on-terror, I bundled my shaving crème, razor, spare blades and alarm clock into one elastic-banded compact unit -this I placed in my hand luggage. I did have to concede as physically restrained by security that under x ray conditions the bundle did have a passing resemblance to a time-bomb, and when opened the Semtex-appearance of the shaving crème only reinforced the image.
But back to the product.
Efficacy wise a little goes a long way. The tiniest smidgeon is required to ruffle up a compact but effective lather. Less is more; it seems is the product's genius. Whereas other products particularly those hailing from supermarket tin-can-alleys generate more voluminous coatings, they tend to be all air and no substance. This crème forgoes such bluff and delivers substance where it is needed, directly to the skin and hair without the need for dramatic latherisations borne of gas.
Once applied, the ingredients (see appendix 1) kick into effect from the first face-scrape. Thick with glycerin, the cream allows the scraper to glide across the scrapee, reducing friction and thereby reducing niction and its capillary rupturing consequences. It does this not once but twice, thrice and more. Repeated strokes in the same areas are not a problem, the glycerin component adheres to the face to allow even the trickiest areas with multi-directional crop to be repeatedly and smoothly harvested to the bare soil. Marvellous.
This however may not be to everyone's taste. Once the shave is over, a significant amount of the product remains on the face and it can feel a touch gunky and a thorough wash is needed. I, however, like this and in fact I encourage it by agitating the remaining product into a thin lather, leaving it for a minute or two before washing off. This to me prolongs the hydrating nature of the product and helps keep the skin cooler for longer.
Overall the product is a shavers dream, it permits a more thorough shave while minimising damage, the skin is left soft and cool and in personal experience cuts are dramatically reduced.
Inevitably for a quality product it isn't cheap. £7.00 for 200ml initially raised my eyebrows, but with experience I see there is an economy to the product. Used correctly and sparingly a tub will last for months up to a year in some cases less if genitals, head, legs and face are regularly scraped. This compares most favourably to rivals, generally shorter lived and occasionally cut down in their prime due to propellant issues.
There is also conceptually the moral component to the price. Self-hailed as an ethical company, with environmental, anti-vivisectionist and equal opportunities at its core, the extra cost may enhance your middle class sense of worth. I can't comment on this, I hope they are true to their word, but something about big businesses shouting about their ethicality makes it seem more marketing than substance. Essentially I have to leave the moral cost worthiness for you to decide. I do however have a perspective on the ingredients, if you can be bothered see appendix 2.
On balance, the true value to me- lies in the honest simplicity of the product, it is effective and unencumbered by unnecessary engineering shenanigans. Furthermore it does its job discreetly, enhanced by packaging that boldly eschews patronising male stereotypes.
I'm not sure if Mark E smith would approve but for me this product definitely falls under the term classical.
Glycerin is the main ingredient, but it could not do the job without the following emulsion fellows:
Water this is essential for emulsion nature of the crème and also acts as a solvent/diluent for other ingredients.
Myristic Acid and Stearic Acid are emulsifiers which along with Coconut Acid ( a surfactant) allow the relatively immiscible water and glycerin to maintain a relatively happily cohabiting emulsion
Benzyl Benzoate acts as solvent for later ingredients that are not soluble in water
Tetrasodium EDTA is a chelating Agent which binds elements, usually metals that could degrade other components
Sesamum indicum (Sesame Oil) acts as an Emollient to soften the skin
Potassium Hydroxide, Triethanolamine and Sodium Hydroxide combine together to buffer the crème and maintain the acid base balance within the desired pH range. Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Methylparaben, and Phenoxyethanol are preservatives to prevent skankiness
Eugenol and Coumarin are components of the perfume which to me is barely perceptible
Retinyl Palmitate, and Panthenol respectively a vitamin A and Vitamin B5 product both enigmatically described by body shop as Skin Conditioning Agents.
Tocopheryl Acetate, a vitamin E product that is described as an Antioxidant, which may have some effects on skin but is probably included to enhance stability of crème.
Ingredients- wise there seems to be quite a few, and a fair few preservative in nature. Ordinarily this would be a negative point, until I consider why. Like an open wound, the products relatively exposed packaging could encourage micro-organism growth and exposure to other degrading elements oxygen for one. The preservatives are therefore essential to maintain the products integrity.
Alternative products are inherently more protected and conceptually require fewer ingredients. However to do this they must be encased in a hermetically sealed environment that maintains a positive pressure differential on dispensing. They then require some form of propellant to expel them. All of which necessitates manufacturing processes and chemicals.
And therein is the quandary, do you accept some preservatives to achieve a long-lived, low-packaging product? Or do you go for complex packaging and the attendant manufacturing processes in preference to a few preservatives.
I opt for the former.
Put it this way, if Body shop were sneaky they could call this an antibacterial shave crème and hey presto the preservatives become antibacterial, and much more socially acceptable

OK, What is your all time favorite show that you have attended w/ BLS.?
I'll start w/ mine. After seeing the guys from coast to coast and all in between a few times, I would have to say that probably the best times I had were in Vegas in 09. I met up w/ a friend at the airport when we landed and headed to the Hotel to unload and rest a bit since this was the day before the show. After getting settled in, I said bump this, We need to hit some cocktails up since it's Vegas and all. Me and my bro were both running on empty from working all night and then traveling, but chose to head to Mandaley Bay to have some drinks. About the 2nd beer, Zakk and Crew rolls in, It's game on then. Zakk bought the first round for us and thanked us for coming out. by the time we left that night we had about 4 hours to sleep and get ready to hit the MnG on Show day. We had a blast at the MnG and the show totally rocked as usual. That was the very first time I had been to Vegas and saw BLS there, Since then, It's been great every time I have been there for the show. Can't wait to hit the next one. Bleed Black and White.April 24, 2013 at 9:22 pm #277
Seen em 4x, but I gotta say HOB Chicago was the fucking best! Meeting you, Brandon, Goat, and many others before, during, and after our M&G!
Met up with Josh Cummins and his best bud Malikai and had drinks at Kumas. Then on to eat and drink at the venue before the show. Saw Ang for the 3rd time. Can't forget meeting Father Froedge and Father Fergie! Truely a once in a life time experience! We must do it again!April 28, 2013 at 11:59 pm #287

Favorite moment pre BLS with Zakk was his Book Of Shadows Tour at the Pontiac Grille in Philly.
Had the pleasure of being up front with Zakk's Dad Jerome and Wife Barb. It was real intimate
and with it just being Zakk and a young Evil Twin it was real down to earth and chill. Zakk's Dad
was so awesome and proud of his boy. Really cool moment I'll never forget.April 30, 2013 at 1:52 am #292

awesome story bro!
Live only seen the guys live once. I've been a fan of zakk since seeing the Ozzy live at the budokan DVD. I was only 14 when it was released and it made me pick up the guitar. Every chance I got to see the boss play with Oz it was thrown back (Oz had several injuries like the quad bike incident and his broken foot which mean he had to cancel) and then when I finally got a chance to see BLS in Manchester it was cancelled because of local bikers allegedly beating up fans for wearing colours etc. I finally caught a break last Feb when the guys were touring for the Order of the Black album and I caught them in Manchester. Still one of my favourite gigs I've been too. Next time I'm gonna get a m&g with them too. I can't wait for the next tour!!July 2, 2013 at 11:48 am #546
Manchester? As in NH? Are you going to Gigantour Tomorrow?July 2, 2013 at 6:38 pm #548

On February 12, several Kyrgyz opposition parties and leaders announced the creation of a united opposition coalition. Former mayor of Osh Melis Myrzakmatov and his party "Uluttar birimdigi", former MP and leader of the "Ata Jurt" party Kamchybek Tashiev, former attorney general Azimbek Beknazarov, former Interior Minister Omurbek Suvanaliev and others become founding members of the new opposition with Ravshan Zheenbekov, a sitting deputy in the Jogorku Kenesh (Kyrgyz parliament), as the leader.
As Zheenbekov told the Fergana news agency, the new opposition has three main goals. "First – the restoration of the current Constitution. In fact, it is not bad, but the President has completely violated it. There has been no parliamentary republic since the president has seized all power: he is the prime minister, and the court, and everything else. The second goal is strengthening the parliamentary system, and the third is the fight against authoritarian power ", – said the leader of the opposition.
While united opposition develops its manifesto and plans, we can talk about what we can expect: in short, it means that in spring we can expect new wave of protests, Especially in the Southern region where the reach of President Atambaev is weaker. Today, I think, opposition has an enough reasons to call people to the square. The complicated situation around Kumtor gold mine, the arrest of the opposition MP Akhmatbek Keldibekov, an unfair mayoral election in Osh (according to Myrzakmatov and his supporters), and the tense situation on the border with Tajikistan will all be used by opposition activists as a main arguments to demand resignation of the government and even the president himself.
At the same time, in my view, this opposition has some important weaknesses. First, leaders of opposition are former officials, and people know what they can do if they will return—in some cases this could be positive, but many of these former officials left office amid serious controversy and leave behind a legacy that is mixed at best. Second, they are regional leaders whose influence does not extend beyond their home area. For example, it is difficult to say that Tashiev or Myrzakmatov have many supporters in the north, or Suvanaliev in the south. Perhaps because of this the relatively new and "clean" Ravshan Zheenbekov was chosen as the leader of the coalition. Third, opposition leaders have different—and sometimes conflicting–political views. For me, it is difficult to imagine that liberal Zheenbekov, authoritarian Myrzakmatov and nationalist Tashiev are working as one team. So it is likely that this is a just temporary union against Atambaev that can fall apart in any time.
Considering the general fatigue of people to demonstrations and revolutions Atambaev also has a chance to improve the situation and take it under his control.
First, make a deal with Centerra Gold on Kumtor gold mine in the interests of Kyrgyzstan and convince the people of exactly that. Second, if Atambaev's government can come to a peaceful and useful (for Kyrgyzstan) agreement with Tajikistan on border problems his rating in south can improve. Third, a final decision must be made on Kyrgyzstan's foreign policy. It is still not clear what the priority is for us: partnership with Russia and joining to Custom Unions, or partnership with the West, Turkey and the Arab world. Taking into account the influence of external actors on internal processes in Kyrgyzstan, probably, this will be a decisive factor for the future of Atambaev's regime, and consequently for future of Kyrgyzstan.

Very pretty!
I bought this for my daughter-in-law and she loved it.Read More
This necklace is exquisite! Goes with everything. It arrived in a handmade, thick paper envelope and I keep it stored there! I wore this in December to my nephew's college graduation and (on average) I received 9 out of 10 positive compliments. The other was a non-comment one way or the other. What are the chances of finding something so beautiful and versatile on Overstock.........start looking! I have bought more jewelry gifts for friends and family from Overstock and they were all 100% delighted with my choice. I have also bought fun jewelry for myself, handmade, 3 years ago and they are still intact. So much fun shopping for gifts on Overstock. I almost forgot to add this suggestion, as all good strands of pearls, including this necklace, I bring them to a qualified jeweler and have them cleaned and the stringing and knotting examined every year! Do not clean pearls yourself as you will actually harm the luster and silk stringing!!Read More

Wow!! Great value!!
I just purchased five of these necklaces as bridemaids gifts for my upcoming June 26, 2010, wedding. I promptly received them in the mail and am MORE than impressed with not only the beautiful craftsmanship and quality of the pearls, but also the stunning wrapping & presentation. They came individually wrapped in uniquely designed boxes, along with a beautiful chocolate brown booklet in each box that describes how the necklace was made and the meaning behind the stones & design. My very skeptic fiance was even blown away at how great these necklaces look for their great price. I 100% recommend this item and Overstock.com.....the service was prompt and true to what I expected when purchasing the items.Read More

Adopt Measures to Widen Activities of Zionist Orthodox Wing
The understanding arrived at between the Mizrachi Zionist Organization of America and the United Palestine Appeal for this year, leading to the abandonment of the original pians of the Mizrachi to embark upon an independent campaign for $500,000, was ratified at a Conference of Orthodox Jews for the Upbuilding of Palestine held Sunday at the Waldorf-Astoria.
The conference was convened on the initiative of the Mizrachi organization and afforded the opportunity for the first public appearance of the Mizrachi delegation consisting of Rabbi Meyer Berlin, Rabbi Benzion Uziel, Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Jaffa, Rabbi J. L. Fishman and Professor Herman Struck, who arrived from Palestine to aid in the campaign.
About 300 delegates from ten eastern states attended the sessions which were held under the chairmanship of Rabbi Jacob Levinson, president of the American Mizrachi.
Measures to strengthen the Orthodox wing of the Zionist movement in the United States were adopted in a series of resolutions calling for the establishment of a Mizrachi branch in every Orthodox congregation, enrolling every seat holder as a member, imposing an obligation on each congregation to work for the United Palestine Appeal

Raiders look for win against Rebels
The V.I. Raiders are, in a lot of ways, an all-new team this year. But they'll try to keep up their same old dominance over the Westshore Rebels.
The two B.C. Football Conference rivals play Saturday (Aug. 2) in Victoria.
New Raiders coach Brian Ridgeway, who played for both teams, was advised that Nanaimo has never lost to Victoria in junior football – not in pre-season, not in regular season, not in playoffs.
"No pressure," he said. "Obviously we need the win. The other thing to consider is points for and against, because that factors into our standings."
Ridgeway said he only has good feelings looking back on his time playing for the Rebels, and doesn't see any animosity in the Island rivalry.
"Demonizing your opponent, that was never a factor when I played, it's not a factor now," he said.
Both teams are looking to respond to Week 1 losses. The Raiders were edged 44-36 by the Langley Rams last weekend and the Rebels were thumped 38-9 by the Kamloops Broncos.
It's still at that early-season stage when teams will work primarily on their own game and not be overly concerned as to what the opponent might bring.
"We've got to keep worrying about ourselves here, keep fixing our own problems first," said Jordan Botel, Raiders offensive coordinator.
"The major focus is on us and what we're doing and assignment checks and making sure we're a lot more crisp," added Ridgeway.
The head coach said he hopes to get more guys onto the field in Week 2. The first game of the season, he said, was so close that he wasn't able to share playing time as much as he had hoped to.
The Raiders will also be able to test out some adjustments that they have been able to make since their first taste of game action.
"We can go really hard in practice and you'll see certain things, but game speed is something totally different…" Ridgeway said. "We've got a gritty group of guys and they're starting to really jell together as a group on and off the field, so it's exciting to see."
GAME ON … The Raiders and the Rebels kick off Saturday at 7 p.m. at Victoria's Westhills Stadium.

In our continuing effort to make the interim Child Development Center (CDC) at Leonard Hall more comfortable for the children, CDC staff met with parent representatives to discuss plans for new playground equipment. The group decided on plastic, lightweight, modular freestanding equipment, which includes a climber and slide. In addition, the CDC has purchased a tire swing, sand area, sit and hop balls, a play kitchen, a playhouse, sprinklers, T-ball and basketball equipment, and tricycles. The CDC has also purchased two shade structures to ensure that the children have adequate shade for the summer.
A grassy section of the picnic area, next to the tennis and basketball courts, has been fenced off and made into a temporary play area. The Army Corps of Engineers sampled this area for arsenic and breakdown products of mustard agent. The results showed that arsenic was below the screening level of 13 PPM and well within the naturally occurring background levels for this area, as established by EPA. No breakdown products of mustard agent were detected.
With the Leonard Hall play facility completed, teachers and parents will work together to develop plans for a permanent playground at the original CDC location. The new equipment will be integrated into the permanent CDC playground once all excavation activities are completed and it is deemed safe to return. The University will continue to work with CDC parents and the Army Corps of Engineers to ensure that all appropriate cleanup activities are performed at the CDC and elsewhere on campus.

As we sweat through the dog days of summer, all I want to do is sit on the porch, drink lemonade and play guitar. Typically, however, I have found it hard to relax. In the complex and unjust world we live in, it always seems like there is so much, too much, to do. In the end, there never seems like a lot of time to rest or take care of myself.
Our Catholic faith is very centered around doing, in particular doing for others. This is one of the things that I love the most about our church -- this attention to the needs of others. However, somewhere in there, I think we may lose sight of what we need to do for ourselves to be healthy, happy and whole.
Which brings me to the question: What would Jesus do for Himself?
Looking through the Gospels, there seem to be three key themes related to Jesus' self-maintenance.
1. Jesus spent time with friends.
So many stories in the Gospels show Jesus eating, drinking and enjoying the company of friends. Jesus even made friends with people who some would consider unworthy, such as the tax collectors mentioned in the Gospel of Mark.
We say: Charlottesville reveals the weeping wound of racism. What do we, the American Catholic faith community, do next? Read the editorial.
I have found that, after leaving the school setting where friendships were a given and moving to a big city, that it can be hard to put myself out there to make new friends or nuture new friendships. It seems easier sometimes just to go home and play it safe.
While we all have different ideas of what it means to be a friend and different thresholds for the amount of friends we need, friendship is so important to leading happy and healthy lives. True friendship brings out the best in us, lets us relax and enjoy the gifts we have.
2. Jesus took time alone.
The Gospel of Luke reads, "The reputation of Jesus continued to grow. Large crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses. But Jesus often withdrew to some place where he could be alone and pray."
Years ago, I never wanted to be alone. I always want to be surrounded by those I love and felt, on some level, that by taking alone time I would either be missing out or disappointing others.
It is crucial to carve out alone time to reflect, read, pray and so on. When we make that time, we are more able to cope with life's joys and challenges.
3. Jesus cared for his body.
The Gospel of Mark tells the story of a woman who anointed Jesus with perfumed oil in Bethany. Some of the apostles questioned this extravagance. But Jesus replied, "Let her alone. Why do you criticize her? She has done me a kindness."
I have to admit, up until my adult life, I had great disdain for spending too much time focused on caring for one's body. Much like the apostles, I thought this was an extravagance. At the same time, I was very disconnected from my body. I didn't pay attention to aches in my back or how certain shoes affected my posture. Getting a massage never crossed my mind.
Not to be too cliché, but our bodies are our temples and caring for them is anything but an extravagance. When we take care of our bodies, not only will we be better able to serve others, we will also be more in touch with our bodies themselves. It's a win-win, really.
Jesus knew that in taking care of Himself, He would be better able to care for others. So, as we round out the summer and sail into fall, I am going to try to emulate Jesus and take care of myself. Perhaps I will leave out the anointing, though, and opt for a mani/pedi instead.

Exclusive: Kat Dahlia Dishes on Music and Love in Vixen Photo Shoot
Is songwriting and rapping something you've always wanted to pursue?
Songwriting was definitely something I always wanted to do; I just didn't know how I was going to get to this point. I always imagined myself to be a great singer as a kid. The first song I wrote—and it wasn't a rap—was a sappy love song about how a dude cheated on me. It was really juvenile; I don't even think I'd kissed a boy at that point. But for some reason I knew all about heartbreak when I wrote that love song. I've always had an enchantment with rhymes.
When did you really dig into the rapping game?
Rapping just kind of came. As a kid I would write raps and record things just because I was so bored at home. When I was older I released my project Shades of Gray, one of the songs on it was "Gangsta" and that was the first time I really took the song serious. I really just to write on subjects about my life.
Is "Gangsta" one of your favorite songs?
It's definitely one of my most personal songs. I don't really have favorites, but "Gangsta" is definitely a special song because it is so personal and got me to where I am today. So it's an important one, I would say.
Do you have any rapper in mind for a remix of "Gangsta"?
I want to reach out to 50 cent. I definitely would not mind having him on the remix.
Is he someone you admire?
Absolutely. First of all, he's an amazing writer and songwriter. What he created for himself is amazing. He did what he had to do to get out of the lifestyle he was in and once he was out, he created stability for himself and his business. He's thriving and hopefully happy, so I'm happy for him.
How do you define success and do you feel that you're successful at this point in your life?
I think success is happiness. I think that this industry can be very unforgiving and cutthroat and full of a lot of unnecessary drama. But as long as I stay loyal to the music and what's really important, I'm okay.

A representative for Sutherland says that the '24' actor and the actress are not dating, while a source tells PEOPLE that the pair went out 'once or twice, but there's nothing more to it.'
Kiefer Sutherland dismisses rumors that he's dating actress Sofia Karstens. A representative for the "24: Live Another Day" actor confirms to PEOPLE that the dating reports are not true. A separate source, meanwhile, adds that the pair met "once or twice, but there's nothing more to it."
Reports of Sutherland and Karstens' romance emerged recently when the two actors were seen spending their time together in New York City. The 47-year-old star was in the city to promote the FOX miniseries.
Karstens reportedly has filed for legal separation from her husband Jason London. Sutherland, meanwhile, was previously married to Elizabeth Kelly Winn and Camelia Kath. He was romantically linked to Siobhan Bonnouvrier in 2009.
Sutherland's Jack Bauer is back on "24: Live Another Day" after four-year hiatus. Playing counter-terorist agent, Sutherland takes part on the action series which debuted in the U.S. on Monday, May 5 alongside Benjamin Bratt, Yvonne Strahovski, Giles Matthey and Kim Raver among others.
"In the past when fans in the street would call out to me, 'Jack!' I didn't respond," the actor told Independent of his popular role. "But now I'm proud of it. I've spent a third of my professional life doing this show and I love the fact that people adore it."

By Dan Burns
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Turbulence in world financial markets will add a sense of urgency to the work of a powerful new congressional committee charged with finding ways to cut the ballooning U.S. deficit, panel member Chris Van Hollen said Friday.
Democratic Representative Van Hollen said markets, which are gripped by fears of a global recession, would be closely watching the committee's progress. It has to find at least $1.2 trillion in budget savings over 10 years by November 23.
Since the committee was formed as part of a deal to raise the U.S. debt ceiling earlier this month, America's AAA credit rating has been downgraded by Standard & Poor's, the European debt crisis has worsened and financial markets around the world have seesawed over uncertainty about the global economy.
"I think there will be an added sense of urgency," Van Hollen, one of six Democratic lawmakers on the bipartisan 12-member "super committee," told Reuters Insider in an interview from Washington.
Angered by the protracted battle between Republicans and Democrats over raising the debt ceiling, Americans' approval of the job Congress is doing has dropped to a historic low of 13 percent, according to a Gallup poll released this week.
Americans have sent a clear message that they want lawmakers to put politics aside and reach agreement on how to cut the deficit, Van Hollen said.
"There's this sword of Damocles hanging over the process, meaning that if we're not able to reach agreement we're going to see across-the-board, indiscriminate cuts in both defense and non-defense so I think all those factors should focus all the minds of the members of the committee," he said.
If the panel fails to reach agreement on deficit reduction, or if Congress does not act by a December 23 deadline, it will trigger some $1.2 trillion in automatic budget cuts that will begin in 2013 -- a prospect expected to motivate lawmakers.
Van Hollen said the committee, which must hold its first meeting by September 16, is still working out details of how it will proceed. He said he hoped they would begin meeting soon.
There have been widespread calls for the committee to conduct its work in public after the months-long debt ceiling negotiations were conducted behind closed doors.
"I can say with confidence that it will be an open and transparent process in the sense that there will be hearings and opportunity for input from the American people as well as from other members of Congress," Van Hollen said.
He also said he supported an extension of the payroll tax holiday, which President Barack Obama has also said he favors. The tax cut will likely become a bargaining chip in the super committee's negotiations, with Republicans expected to demand cuts to popular social programs in return.
Democrats and Republicans have sparred for months over how to reduce the deficit. Democrats have resisted cuts to the Medicare and Medicaid healthcare programs for the elderly and poor and to the Social Security retirement program. Republicans are firmly against any tax increases.
"I believe that a very important part of what this committee should be doing is trying to get the economy back on track because the fastest way to address the deficit in the near term is to get the economy going," Van Hollen said.

It's only wine but I like it
Softly structured, with slightly tart red berry fruit and faint notes of prunes on the finish. Plenty of acidity, and decent depth. An enjoyable diversion from the mainstream, but really needs food to shine. Drink witin the next couple of years.

The AP Top 25 Poll
You are here
No poll by Bob Asmussen found for this week.
Bob Asmussen
Bob Asmussen is in his 25th year at The Champaign News-Gazette. He became the Illinois football beat writer in 1996. Asmussen has also covered men's and women's basketball, volleyball and wrestling. He has won numerous national and state awards for his writing. Married to a fellow reporter, Asmussen has a son and a daughter. They live in Champaign.
Champaign News-Gazette
Poll Methodology
The AP Top 25 is determined by a simple points system based on how each voter ranks college football's best teams. A team receives 25 points for each first place vote, 24 for second place and so on through to the 25th team, which receives one point. The rankings are set by listing the teams' point totals from highest to lowest. The mathematical formula is the same as the one used for the AP Pro 32 rankings and the AP Top 25 rankings for men's and women's basketball.
History of the Poll
The Associated Press began its college football poll on Oct. 19, 1936, and it is now the longest-running poll of those that award national titles at the end of the season. The preseason poll was started in 1950. A panel of 61 sports writers and broadcasters from around the country votes on the poll weekly. All of the voters have an extensive background in covering college football. Alabama's ten AP national titles lead the way, with Notre Dame sitting second with eight. Oklahoma has seven, while Miami and Southern California have five each. Each team's ranking will be mentioned in AP stories throughout the preseason and the regular season, along with a link to the Top 25: collegefootball.ap.org/poll
