Letter - Why mention Sarah Palin in Arizona shooting?
To the editor:
I was fairly impressed with the approach of Dennis Dalman's column on the tragic shootings in Tucson. It didn't have the "it has to be the fault of the right" that came out, some within 30 minutes of the event. The sheriff started the process by announcing that the shooter was motivated by "words of the toxic right wing." When asked if he had any evidence, he had to admit that he didn't. Even after his office had been involved five times with the deranged killer, they had done nothing to get him off the streets, keep him from being able to apply for a gun license, or at least keep an eye on him. Yet it was "the fault of those conservatives."
All the evidence is pointing to a young man that was mentally ill, and as far back as 2007, had written "die b----" on a letter that had been sent to him by the senator. That's why Dalman's column let me down at the end. He had to mention Sarah Palin, even though she wasn't on the national scene in 2007. Neither was the Tea Party, another popular target of the left for blame.
Why would Dalman bring Palin into this? He referred to her putting crosshairs on districts that the Republicans wanted to win in 2010. He failed to mention that the Democrats had put targets with bullseyes on their map.
The dialogue on both sides can and should be turned down. But presenting facts about the opposing party is not a personal attack. Differences of opinion and civil discussion should be welcome.
So, Dennis, next time, don't bring in someone you don't agree with or like to make a point. There will always be a bunch of names, events, quotes and stories that can be thrown right back at you.

FRESNO, Calif. — A California dairy that had its raw milk products recalled and quarantined after E. coli sent three children to hospitals said Wednesday that tests show its milk is pathogen-free and the quarantine should be lifted.
Organic Pastures Dairy Co. owner Mark McAfee said he intends to appeal the order by State Veterinarian Dr. Annette Whiteford calling for the company to pull its raw milk, butter, cream, colostrum and "Qephor" from store shelves.
A hearing on the matter was set later Wednesday.
The company sells 2,400 gallons of raw milk a day in California. It does not ship any milk products to other states.
The California Department of Food and Agriculture announced the recall and quarantine on Tuesday. It said laboratory samples of Organic Pastures raw milk had not detected the strain of E. coli that sickened the children. Samples of the milk actually consumed by the children also didn't reveal E.coli.
However, interviews with the families of five children infected with the strain between August and October indicated the only common food exposure was to Organic Pastures raw milk, state officials said.
The sickened children are residents of Contra Costa, Kings, Sacramento and San Diego counties.
Three of the children were hospitalized with a condition that may lead to kidney failure. State officials did not indicate whether any of them remained hospitalized and did not release their current condition. No deaths have been associated with the recall.
Federal law prohibits the sale of raw milk across state lines but does allow states to regulate its sale within their borders. California permits the retail sale of unpasteurized milk from only two licensed facilities.
Raw milk is not pasteurized, a process that involves heating milk to 161 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 seconds.
Organic Pastures is currently undergoing a complete inspection and must be found to meet all state sanitation requirements before the quarantine can be lifted, said California Department of Food and Agriculture spokesman Steve Lyle.
The agency tests the company's products on a monthly basis, Lyle said.
In addition, McAfee said his company tests the products several times a week through an independent lab. All of the samples associated with the investigation thus far have been negative for E.coli, Lyle and McAfee said.Comment on this story
The company is cooperating with the investigation, McAfee said. But the quarantine should be lifted, he said, because it's too early in the investigation to know the cause of the problem.
"This happened two to three months ago and all of our milk, including the milk these kids actually drank, is testing fine," he said.
It's the second time the Fresno County dairy has been the subject of a recall.
In 2006, Organic Pastures was ordered to stop selling unpasteurized milk products after four children were sickened with E.coli and three were hospitalized. Officials did not find any pathogens at the dairy and the company was allowed to sell the milk again.

I booked a Nile river cruise last year with broaday and could not have asked for a better service.
We were meet and greeted at the airport by the hotelier, who dealt with our visas and relevant papers, then collected our suitcases and placed them into our taxi which was all ready and waiting for us.
When we got to our cruise ship, we were had our suitcase dropped off at our room and given a complimentary bottle of wine.
The view of the Nile from our cabin was truly breath taking, worth every penny.
The food in the restaurants was very tasty although we did have the same on a one or two days.
On the first night we didn't sleep too well as we were close to the engine room, so the next day the staff kindly moved us onto the top floor where we had an even better room and view of the Nile!
We visited the valley of the kings, valley of the queens, howard carters house and Karnak.
Our holiday was only a week long, but we saw as much of Luxor as possible and would recommend it over Sharm to anyone looking for a holiday with a difference.

To me, the vocalist sounds like he's barking from underwater for someone to drag his drowning body from a murky swamp. The tone of the guitar is thick, I like this because it gives me a break from the usually thin tones of many other black metal bands. The keyboard adds a lot to the atmosphere, for an example of this I suggest you check out the title track on the bands unofficial myspace (www.myspace.com/messiahmisfortune).

The Pac Ten will be sending more than one team to the big dance this year, but the conference winning Cal Bears may have the best shot of getting you points in your bracket picks.
Cal will have senior and Pacific Ten Player of the year Jerome Randle leading them into the tournament and are expected to be a number 8 or 9 seed.
This year's March Madness will be without a few of its usual powerhouses, including UCLA, North Carolina and Connecticut. But don't think that means it will be any easier for West Coast teams to keep playing through April.
The latest coaches polls have Kansas atop the nation, as Syracuse was dethroned Saturday by Louisville 73-63.
Kansas has a 29-2 record and has proven to be the most consistent team throughout the season.
The Big East has the best odds at bringing home a championship, as they will be sending eight teams to the dance.
The Washington Huskies are on a sleeper alert. They are the other team representing the Pac 10 and are expecting to be somewhere around a 13 or 14 seed.
In the last eight years of the tournament there have been 12 upsets by teams ranked 13 or higher.
The moral of the story: The Pac 10 will not be sending as many teams as previous years, but don't loose hope just yet.

Baseball-Simon, Tigers blank Indians
Sept 5 (The Sports Xchange) - Detroit right-hander Alfredo Simon flirted with a no-hitter for the second time in four starts on Saturday before the Tigers completed a 6-0 rout of the Cleveland Indians.
Simon (12-9) pitched seven innings, giving up a two-out double in the sixth to Cleveland left fielder Michael Brantley and only one more hit, before Alex Wilson and Bruce Rondon finished up the game.
Brantley's double came on Simon's 92nd pitch and the hit saved Tigers manager Brad Ausmus from having to decide whether to take Simon out with a no-hitter on the line or leave him in and risk having a high number of pitches increase his chances of injury.
"I wouldn't worry at 110-112 (pitches) if we had a six-run lead," Ausmus said. "I'd be more worried if when we get to eighth or ninth inning we were at 130 pitches. That's when I'd start to worry."
Simon, who walked four and struck out five, knew he would not be pitching a complete game.
"I know I had a lot of pitches," said Simon. "So I don't think I was going to throw the nine innings."
Simon pitched his first complete game, a one-hit shutout, on Aug. 20 against Texas, the lone hit being a two-out double in the fifth by second baseman Rougned Odor. He threw 116 pitches in that outing and 112 in his seven innings on Saturday.
Simon began the game establishing his fastball, then quickly making his go-to pitch a curve that had great bite.
"Once he got a feel for his breaking ball, he was really tough. He's been pitching very well against us," Indians manager Terry Francona said.
"With that kind of stuff, if comes together on a certain night, it doesn't matter what he's done recently."
Right-hander Danny Salazar (12-8) lasted just 3-2/3 innings. He gave up six runs, eight hits with one walk and one strikeout.
"He made a lot of mistakes early on," Francona said.
"He got that double play (in the first), but they got a run on those three two-out hits in the second. He made a lot of very hittable mistakes after that.
"He didn't have the good off-speed command that he normally has. His mistakes left the ballpark."

Stylist Katie Grand has tweeted images of YSLs rebranding, showing the new Saint Laurent typography in white on a purple background. At a glance, it would seem that a clean, simple approach is being taken.
Images of the new black box packaging have also been leaked, with a small rectangle encasing the Saint Laurent Paris logo, with Saint Laurent at the top and Paris written in a smaller font underneath.
The move comes as part of Hedi Slimanes planned shake-up of the Parisian fashion brand, where he is the new creative director.
As Bazaar reported at the beginning of July, the name change only extends to the ready-to-wear line, with the brands official name remaining Yves Saint Laurent. The iconic YSL logo, with interlocking letters, will continue to be used as well.

Actress Mary Steenburgen and her daughter, Lilly McDowell Walton, combined their love for home design and travel to create an eco-friendly candle line infused with the legacy of their mother and grandmother, respectively. Here, the mother-daughter team share their inspiration for Nell's Compass and the nonprofit they partnered with to light the way for families in poverty.
AFM: What sparked the initial idea for Nell's Compass?
MS: I am part-owner of a store called Rooms & Gardens in Santa Monica. I would go on buying trips in Europe for the store and when I would do so, the candle lines I was drawn to were made in Europe and were crazy expensive. So I asked my daughter if she would like to help me develop a candle that was…soy-based with a lead-free wick, but has the beauty of the European candles with the advantage of being made in America and was affordable.
LMW: We didn't really plan on starting a candle company. We were just brainstorming the perfect candle we would want in the store. And we thought, 'Well, why don't we just try and make it?' We found all the right people and put all the puzzle pieces together.
AFM: What is the story behind the company name?
MS: At the time of doing all this, my mother, Nell, was in the hospital. We originally intended to name the candle line "Compass" because we liked the idea of traveling through scent, but while at my mom's bedside, we found out the name "Compass" had already been taken. My son suggested we name it "Nell's Compass." It was a perfect idea because she was a very beautiful person, inwardly and outwardly. She was inspirational to other people, and there was a very beautiful glow about her—she lit up the room when she walked into it. All these things felt intuitively right to us. It feels like this multi-generational female-driven company that shares in a bigger way. The idea…made us want to give a portion of each candle sale to a nonprofit that we really care about called Heifer International.
AFM: What is Heifer International?
MS: The basis of it is giving people throughout the world, including this country, animals appropriate to their environment. In preparation for the animals, the people's ecosystem is prepared and improved so that even the land around their home becomes more environmentally sustainable. It not only lifts up the family from poverty, but their very environment is improved. Most important to Lilly and I, the animals are not given to any community that practices discrimination against women. So if women are not allowed to be profit participants of selling produce of the animal, then the animal won't go to that community. And what happened is, there are villages that have changed their whole way of thinking, and women have been lifted up because they want the animals so badly. It's hard to see that in this country that a pair of goats can change lives and even change long-standing prejudices and ways of living.
AFM: What does the future hold for Nell's Compass?

Woman wins bedroom tax appeal
A disabled woman unable to share a bedroom with her husband has won an appeal against the Government's so-called bedroom tax.
In what is thought to be the first successful case of its kind in England, a tribunal found that the local authority had "not taken into consideration her disabilities and her reasonable requirements".
The tenant, who has chosen to remain anonymous, suffers from various health conditions and this year had a stroke, leaving her in a wheelchair and requiring a stairlift.
Along with her husband, she had argued that due to her condition they required one bedroom each, but this was rejected by Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council who said they were under-occupying their three bedroom house.
But this decision has been overturned and could pave the way for many other similar challenges.
" We took on the Government on the spare room subsidy and won," the woman's husband said.
"Getting a satisfactory outcome to our housing benefit tribunal was quite a surprise to us when you take into account what we read in the media and you see what has happened in the High Court recently.
"The tribunal concluded that although we are a couple, my wife's particular circumstances, the extent and effect of her disabling medical conditions and her resulting needs due to her disabilities, mean that we reasonably require one bedroom each and should therefore be assessed for Housing benefit on this basis."
The couple have now had the subsidy reduced to 14%, down from 25%.
The tribunal, which was held in Middlesbrough, concluded that: "In considering whether there is under-occupation of the appellant's property, the Local Authority have not taken into consideration her disabilities and her reasonable requirements, as a result of these, to sleep in a bedroom of her own."
Iain Sim, chief executive of Coast & Country, which owns the property, said they had been campaigning against the subsidy on behalf of their tenants.
"The Bedroom Tax is abhorrent because it is affecting some of the poorest people in society, who through no fault of their own are living in homes that are classed as too big for them," he said.
"To hear that one couple has taken on the establishment and won is fantastic news, which should give hope to hundreds of thousands of disabled people right across the country."
In a statement, the Department for Work and Pensions denied the case had set a precedent but said it would look at the decision in detail.
A spokesman said: " Tribunal decisions at this level do not set a precedent. We will need to look at this particular decision in detail, but in July the Divisional Court ruled that the department had fulfilled its equality duties to disabled people who are affected by the policy.
"We are giving local authorities £190 million extra funding this year so vulnerable claimants get the help they need during the welfare reforms, with £25 million specifically aimed to help disabled people who live in specially adapted accommodation.
"Even after the reform we still pay over 80% of most claimants' housing benefit, but the taxpayer can no longer pay for spare bedrooms in the social housing sector."
But disability charity Scope said this ruling once again showed that these bedrooms are essential and urged the Government to reconsider its approach to welfare.
A spokesman said: " This could be a really important ruling, coming on the back of similar cases in Glasgow and London. Once again it shows these are not spare bedrooms, these are essential rooms.
"The majority of people affected by the so-called 'bedroom tax' are disabled. Many people need a room for specialist equipment, or so that their severely disabled child can sleep separately from their siblings.
"It's likely that many families have similar living arrangements to those in this case. For instance we've spoken to disabled people who simply aren't able to share a specially adapted bed with their partner.
"We urgently need the Government to reconsider its approach to welfare."

City Sanitation Plans are strategic planning processes for citywide sanita-tion sector development. Addressing technical and non-technical aspects of sanitation services, city sanitation plans include the vision, missions, and goals of sanitation development as well as strategies to meet these goals.
City Sanitation (Master) Plans (CSP), sometimes also referred to as Municipal Sanitation Plans or Water and Sanitation Strategy Plans, are strategic planning processes for citywide sanitation sector development. To manage water resources, water safety plans (WSP) exist.
A citywide sanitation strategy includes the vision, missions, and goals of sanitation development as well as strategies to meet these goals. Each strategy is then translated into indicative programmes (and projects). The citywide sanitation strategy covers (WSP 2010):
Technical aspects, including strategies and programmes for the development of (a) domestic wastewater services, (b) solid waste management services, and (c) micro drainage services.
Non-technical aspects, including strategies for the development of non-physical aspects such as (a) community awareness and participation, (b) policy and regulation, (c) institutional capacity, (d) private sector engagement, (e) NGO engagement, (f) financing and tariffs, and (g) monitoring and evaluation.
Frameworks for the development of CSPs have been published, amongst others, by TAYLER et al. (2000), ROSENSWEIG et al. (2002), MOUD (2008), and WSP (2010).
(Adapted from WSP 2010)
Although each city is different, city sanitation services should be developed based on a common set of principles. Services must be comprehensive and continuously accessible to all residents. The entire city should have sanitation services suited to its needs, allowing all residents to enjoy the benefits of improved sanitation.
To meet the total sanitation principles, a city needs a strategic approach. Following are some generic approaches that a city can use as the basis for developing more strategic approaches to sanitation development.
(Adapted from TAYLER et al. 2000)
Responsibility for delivering sanitation services at the municipal level is usually assigned to the municipal authorities and they must therefore be at the centre of any strategic sanitation planning process. However, the power to set budgets and to determine policy, spending priorities and institutional arrangements often lies with the state or national government. Municipalities therefore have limited freedom to run their affairs in the way they think best. Nevertheless, steps taken locally can make a real difference to the quality of sanitation services. Those operating at the municipal level face some constraints, but existing laws and procedures often provide sufficient flexibility to enable committed individuals to go at least some way to overcoming these constraints.
(Adapted from TAYLER et al. 2000)
It is important that planning activities follow a logical sequence.
It will only be possible to develop a plan if there is general agreement on the need to plan. Therefore, in a first step, various groups with an interest in sanitation must be talked to, where necessary convinced of the benefits that they will gain from participating in and drawn into the planning process (see also stakeholder analysis).
Where there are no national and/or state/provincial government legislation and procedures requiring a CSP to be produced, planning has to be sold to other stakeholders on its own merits. This can be done by:
The starting point for developing better sanitation services will normally be analysis of current problems and their causes. Physical problems often result from deeper problems relating to limited institutional capacity and/or people's sanitation-related behaviour. There's a need to understand these underlying problems if the causes of problems are to be treated and not just their symptoms (to help you understand local problems, see the understand your system section).
The following basic questions can help to explore and understand the current sanitation problems:
Service users consultation should become part of the routine of municipal service delivery and be done during the investigation of the existing situation in light of:
The main steps required to develop solutions to sanitation problems are shown diagrammatically below.
It also shows the need to:
For more information, see also the exploring and decision making section.
A CSP should include an overall goal, a statement of the rules, policies and principles underlying the plan and details of the current position, objectives, activities, responsibilities and resource requirements for each plan component.
It is important for the plan to:
It is important that both municipal and state authorities formally endorse the plan so that from now on, all concerned departments and agencies work within the framework it has established.
In one sense, implementation is the end of the plan process. However, this should not be seen as an end, but rather as a beginning. There'll be a lot of learning from the process of implementation and it will be important that the lessons learned are fed back into future initiatives. See also project implementation for more info. After the plan has been implemented, it is important to monitor and evaluate whether it is having the desired effect and whether it has been implemented properly. Links between planning and implementation. Note the importance that it gives to monitoring and evaluation of plan outcomes and the use of that information to review progress with the plan and evaluate its effect from time to time (TAYLER et al. 2000).
After the plan has been implemented, it is important to monitor and evaluate whether it is having the desired effect and whether it has been implemented properly.
Citywide sanitation strategy is a strategic planning process for sanitation sector development. In developing the strategy, several principles must be adopted. This includes mapping the existing condition using valid empirical data, which will serve as a foundation for devising the most effective strategy (WSP 2010).

This book repared by partners of the Sustainable Sanitation Alliance (SuSanA) network is a real eye-opener. It takes a look at some of the methods that have worked well in the past, to guide us in solving the problems of the future. By addressing sanitation as a key element of the urban metabolism, and by linking sanitation with urban planning and neighbouring sectors like solid waste management or waste recycling, it allows for a holistic approach. In the cities of tomorrow, we will need to focus more on recycling energy. A good example being biogas generation from wastewater and sludges. Water will also become an increasingly scarce commodity. Greywater (from showers and sinks) can be treated in urban constructed wetlands or used to water and fertilise urban green spaces. Such examples of productive sanitation systems will form an integral part of infrastructure in sustainable cities.

There is an international consensus that urban sanitary conditions are in great need of improvement, but sharp disagreement over how this improvement should be pursued. Both market-driven and state-led efforts to improve sanitation in deprived communities tend to be severely compromised, as there is a lack of effective market demand (due to collective action problems) and severe barriers to the centralized provision of low-cost sanitation facilities. In principle, community-driven initiatives have a number of advantages. This report investigates these challenges and opportunities.

The private military and security contractor once known as Blackwater will pay almost $50 million to settle arms smuggling and related charges.
Academi, LLC, is to pay a $7.5-million fine and a $42-million settlement with the US State Department, NBC News in North Carolina reported today.
Blackwater was based in Moyock, North Carolina.
According to TV station WITN, federal court documents unsealed today show that Academi and the US Attorney General's Office settled 17 violations using a "deferred prosecution agreement."
The Associated Press said the charges include possession of automatic weapons in the US without registration, lying to federal regulators about providing weapons to Jordan, sharing secrets about armored personnel carriers with Swedish and Danish officials and shipping body armor overseas illegally.

According to the court documents, Academi admits to violating the Arms Export Control Act and the International Trafficking in Arms Regulations, WITN said.
In return, the feds recognize Academi's attempts to correct its practices.
Blackwater trained, and provided security for, American personnel stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan, USA Today reported.
The company has held billions worth of security contracts.
Also, the Justice Department said recently it would bring new charges against four former Blackwater employees accused of killing 17 Iraqis five years ago.
An appeals case reinstated the charges last year after a judge dismissed the case in 2009.

Falcon golden with extra weight
Wrestling: Foothills Cody Thompson wins provincial championship
Wednesday, Mar 12, 2014 10:58 am
A Foothills Falcon wrestler has worn the few kilos he�s put on this year well. He looks even better sporting that new gold medal he won at the Alberta high school wrestling championships at Lester Pearson High School in Calgary March 8.
Cody Thompson took first place at 82kg when he downed Whitecourt�s Ty Babiuk 11-0 in the final seconds of the first round.
�We were hand fighting and his legs would open and I would shoot on him � getting the single and the double-leg takedown and getting my points,� Thompson said.
It was the third time Thompson had met Babiuk this season, having split the first two occasions.
�I was feeling pretty confident, but we are both really equal wrestlers,� said the Grade 12 Thompson. �I was a little skeptical who would come out on top. I think both him and I thought we would end up fighting in the gold-medal match.�
Thompson got a wake-up call in his final match before the playoffs.
Bishop McNally�s Nathan Williamson � the no. 1 seed in Edmonton � had a 6-5 lead on the Foothills wrestler with a minute to go.
�I managed to get a point on him,� Thompson said. �Then I was able to get a three-point throw to stop it.�
It was Thompson�s second three-point throw of the match to automatically give him the victory.
More importantly, it was a wake-up call.
�I was wrestling to his level and then I picked things up and he lost a lot of energy and I was able to capitalize off of that,� Thompson said.
He won six matches en route to the championship. None of them went the full two rounds.
It was Thompson�s second provincial medal in the past three years. He won the bronze at the Comp in 2012 at 76kg, but finished out of the medals with a sixth place finish, again at 76 last year. He opted to wrestle at 82kg this year.
�I got thrown around a bit last year and that helped me a lot for this year,� Thompson said. �I tend to learn more from the matches I lost.�
Thompson wasn�t the only Falcon to come home with a medal.
Erick Osberg took the silver at 56kg in his first year of high school wrestling.
Osberg went undefeated in the preliminary rounds and came up against Matt Chan from Lord Beaverbrook in the semifinal.
�I was a little frustrated in the first round but I was ahead 9-7,� Osberg said. �In the second round, I came out really fast. He didn�t get a point on me and I won 17-7.�
He met Sir Winston Churchill Bulldog Kyle Gartner in the final and small talk had Osberg more jittery than the Macleod Conservative candidates waiting for a decision later that evening.
�I was nervous because some of the other wrestlers had told me how good he was,� Osberg said.
Osberg held his own.
The match wasn�t decided until the final seconds of the second round when Gartner won by superiority 14-4.
Osberg was able to reflect on the mat in those final seconds.
�I was fighting hard and I was on my back and I saw the clock,� Osberg said. �I was disappointed because I lost, but I was happy because I won a silver medal in my first year of high school wrestling.�
Osberg gave credit to Holy Trinity Academy Knight Christian Nori, who would have been a lock to medal at 53kg if not for an injured kneecap.
�He is a great wrestler,� Osberg said. �He was just a fantastic mentor for me this season.�
Nori won the provincial gold and silver medals in 2012 and 2013, respectively.
Osberg was awarded a sportsmanship award by officials at the tournament.
Highwood Mustang wrestler Josh Skory had his gold-medal hopes pinned on his final match of the round-robin in the 47kg weight division.
Mission accomplished for the Cayley product.
Skory had to pin Matthew Steward from Forest Lawn in the final.
A round-robin format was used due to only five wrestlers in the category. Skory went into the match with a 2-1 record, while Steward was 3-0. Skory had lost by superiority in one-match, so he had to go one better � a pin � to take gold over Steward.
�I was up 9-2 and even if I had beat him by superiority (by more than 10 points) he would have got the gold,� Skory said. �I had him on the ground and I did a cross-face and a butcher (cradling Steward) and I pinned him.�
Members of the Okotoks and High River wrestling clubs will compete in the Alberta Open this weekend at the University of Calgary.

Killswitch Engage Album Stream
But I don't want to
Then I won't ever :D
I'm afraid it is. Gonna listen later.
Digging: Kiasmos - Blurred EP
I'm actually liking this so far, better than the past two albums at least
its like a high 3, low 3.5. the instrumentation is great, but the songwriting is not as strong as on AOJB, and while Jesse's cleans are good, his screams are much weaker than before
he sounds like the dude from unearth
This is their best since End of Heartache and its nice to hear another good album from them after the last two, but it doesnt come close to touching Alive or Just Breathing
I like how you left out your high praise for sub-par vox on this thread, Bassdemon.
Its better than their s/t and ADD, so yea its good
Definitely lived up to my expectations, they haven't sounded this goo in years. Personally, I really
like the vocals too. Probably gonna end up as a 3.5 for me.
There is a 5 part documentary on the making of that they will be putting out so at least that is cool.
Digging: Beastmilk - Climax
This is their best since End of Heartache and its nice to hear another good album from them after the last two, but it doesnt come close to touching Alive or Just Breathing
Agreed 100%. Will end up at a 3/3.5 for me personally, but I enjoyed that first listen well enough!
used to be one of my fav bands and ill always have love for em. gonna listen but not expecting anything more than a 3.1
Jesse's vocals are great on this though intotheshit. His screams are fine and his clean singing has never sounded better. Adam D's backing vox are also the best they have been on any KsE album, some of his gutterals here are awesome.
i really like this so far :0
cool will check!
Digging: Langhorne Slim - Lost At Last, Vol 1
Sounds great so far.
Probable 3.5.
Digging: Julien Baker - Turn Out The Lights
i still remember the days 10 years ago when i thought killswitch, unearth, all that remains, shadows fall, and a7x were the heaviest things ever. they opened up a whole world to me though and i wouldnt be listening to program music without em!!!
bout halfway and its about what i expected. around a 2.5-3. has its catchy moments but just another melocore album. nostalgias hard tho
I am so underwhelmed by this. I will take more listens, but at this moment, I am considering this a disappointment.
Wait, what? This album stream is exclusive for Romania (my country)?
I'm beyond amazed, even though I don't give a damn about the band.
Welp, now I have to step up my review. Commencing the stream.
I really dig, it's definitely a 3.5 for me at this point. It's nothing groundbreaking for sure, but it's enjoyable and nostalgic for me
Based on the comments, I think I'll skip this one.
God dammit Killswitch Engage. Adam D was right about the faster pace this time around, and the riffs
really do slay for KsE standards, but the choruses got even more bland compared to the last album.
This is EXACTLY what All That Remains did when they started getting older. Where is Times of Grace
when you need them?
For those looking to listen: this is above average metalcore with great riffs but a lack of creative
song writing. I will likely end up rating 3.5/5.
It's weird to say, but I'm going to agree with intotheshit on this. The harsh vocals are really forced, and a lot of the songs
are kind of bland.
what are some stand out tracks? I don't want to listen to the full thing.
Digging: King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard - Polygondwanaland
Beyond the Flames is good. The Turning Point is a great song throughout, as the chorus actually fits
well, unlike most of the other songs. In Due Time is probably one of the better songs. I think the
album deserves a full listen, even if its just for the verses.
I think this is pretty damn good.
This is the best In Flames record in years
Really solid stuff. 3.5-4ish
Killswitch In Grace
Trebor, your comparisons always seem to be wrong. Not at all like In Flames.
Through Track 6, been okay so far, but 'The Turning Point' crushes for sure.
^haha, Track 7 actually kind've.
which owns.
queefswitch engage
Its definitely good metalcore. It would be great if there were better choruses. A lot of people have been talking about how catchy KsE choruses are; I've never listened to them before, and frankly, I couldn't see that with this album. There's a few, but none are special. The blandness of the choruses are actually what keeps this from being an excellent album. The Turning Point is definitely the standout for me. Always is a nice change of pace, but its been done better. And I see a little In Flames now Trebor
Meh just another guilty pleasure.
I can't believe nobody mentioned how awesome the song Always is. It's not only my favorite song on the album, but one of my favorite songs to come out this year.
Listened to the stream. I wasn't too impressed, even though I used to like this band. Maybe I'll listen again.

Might wanna stick a NSFW warning in it seeing as the UK stream is on Front's site.
" Its definitely good metalcore."
Yeah if you've never heard good metalcore.
Good structure with the songwriting. It has some interesting riffs that grab your attention.
These guys are getting older now I did not expect the full agression of AOJB. Its a progression with Jesse just as the band moved forward with Howard on EOH to ADD.
Just wish it didnt have that obvious high production value. I liked the rawness of AOJB.
Will check this, they're still among my fav metalcore.
Just saw these guys play with periphery. They were spot on live.

Hey Damian!
MegaJake, The Turning Point is indeed one of the best songs. Darkwatch, I agree that Always is pretty

Anderson Lake neurotoxin nearly 300 times safe level
By Leah Leach
Peninsula Daily News

The lake in Anderson Lake State Park west of Chimacum, remains closed to all recreational use, as it has been for most of the summer because of toxins created by blue-green algae.
The park around the lake remains open for use.
"We just want to stress to the public that this is a dangerous level of anatoxin-a in Anderson Lake," said Michael Dawson, water quality lead with the Jefferson County Public Health Department.
"Anatoxin is of particular concern because it's a neurotoxin," he said.
It can cause paralysis and stop respiration.
"It affects animals and humans very quickly," within minutes or hours of exposure, Dawson said.
"It can be lethal."
The first indication of poison in the popular trout-fishing lake was six years ago, when two dogs died after drinking lake water on Memorial Day weekend. Both were thought to have been killed by anatoxin-a.
Said Dawson on Friday: "We are stressing that people avoid all kinds of contact in Anderson Lake right now, both for themselves and their pets."
The latest test results, received Friday, found a level of 298 micrograms of anatoxin-a per liter of water in the lake.
The safety threshold is 1 microgram per liter.
"This is a high level of toxin for this time of year," Dawson said, adding that "the public may be less wary in the fall, but these are still dangerous conditions."
A heavy bloom of algae with scum extends over the entire lake — also unusual for the autumn months.
Said Greg Thomason, who took the sample that was tested last week: "I've never seen the algae so thick in five years of doing this [testing].
"It was one-fourth inch thick," said Thomason, Jefferson County environmental health specialist.
The level of anatoxin-a began climbing in the lake in September, after two weeks of tests that found so little anatoxin-a in the lake that the county health department had recommended it be reopened.
State Parks did not reopen the lake, and after the two weeks of low readings, the level of toxin began climbing again.
Researchers don't know why the toxins are coming up now — but it isn't because of a new type of blue-green algae, Thomason said.
Thomason had reported late last month that the King County Environmental Lab had found a type of algae never seen before in Anderson Lake, or any East Jefferson County lake, and that it could be responsible for the almost unseasonable toxin level rise.
Last week, he said that wasn't true.
The lab had called woronichinia, a type of blue-green algae known to live in Anderson Lake, by an old name, coelosphaerium, Thomason said.
"It was a mistake on the part of the lab," he said.
Since woronichinia has been in the lake all along — and therefore isn't likely to be responsible for an usual rise in toxins — researchers are left without an idea of why anatoxin-a is skyrocketing now.
"We really don't know anything more about the cause of this bloom," Dawson said.
"But certainly weather conditions seem to have been favorable for algae growth."
Researchers know that warm weather fuels algae growth when sufficient nutrients, such as phosphorus, are present.
Anderson Lake, once the site of a dairy farm that closed in the middle of the last century, may contain high levels of phosphorus, which is present in livestock waste.
Researchers do not know why some species of blue-green algae will suddenly begin to produce toxins.
Microcystin, another toxin created by blue-green algae, was measured at 5.4 micrograms per liter in Anderson Lake.
That's just below the safety threshold of 6 micrograms per liter for microcystin, which can cause skin irritation and nausea over the short term and liver damage if ingested over a long period of time.
Other lakes in East Jefferson County are safe to use for recreation.
Gibbs Lake and Lake Leland, both of which have moderate blooms with patchy scum, contained traces of anatoxin-a.
A trace of microcystin was found in Gibbs Lake, south of Port Townsend, while none was detected in Lake Leland, north of Quilcene.
No sample was taken from Crocker lake, which is near the U.S. Highway 101-state Highway 104 junction.
Caution signs remain posted at Leland, Gibbs and Crocker lakes because they contain the type of algae known to create poisons at times.
No toxic blue-green algae has been reported in Clallam County, where health officers do not test for toxins; instead, they visually monitor lakes for signs of algae bloom.
Report algae blooms in Clallam County by phoning 360-417-2258.

The Lotus Eleven was designed around the weight, size and power output of the Coventry Climax FWA 1100cc engine. The vast majority of Elevens built were fitted with this unit from new. The second most common Eleven engine was the 1172cc Ford flathead four cylinder unit, as used in the "Sports" version of the car. The Eleven also worked well with a 1500cc Coventry Climax FWB engine but this was relatively rare due to the scarcity of long-stroke Climax crankshafts in period. (NOTE: Many FWA engines use FWB blocks but are still 1100cc) A few other non-standard engines were tried and some of these experiments are described in this website.
Other than scouring the Earth searching for one that isn't already discovered, try joining the Historic Lotus Register and placing a want-ad in its fine magazine. Sorry, but the Lotus Eleven Site isn't involved in sales, purchases or any commercial activity.
There are links throughout the site to contact the editor (Jay Sloane). Messages or questions can also be forwarded when possible to others in the Lotus Eleven world. Much of the information and at least half of the photos on this site have been sent in by the Internet-connected community of Lotus Eleven enthusiasts. HOWEVER, direct emails from lotuseleven.org should be considered as Internet SPAM and should be deleted. This web site never sends emails.
In an effort to reduce fraud and the spread of fake Elevens, this type of information assistance is only available to owners of cars deemed to be authentic.
Lotus founder Colin Chapman had given prior Lotus designs a Roman numeral Mark number but by the time of the Mk VIII, IX and X this had become unwieldy. He liked the way Lotus Eleven sounded and the new design was so named. Lotus racing designs are generally described by their number, i.e. 23 or 49, but road cars followed the pattern of the Eleven with names like Elite and Elan. Car names beginning with E became a Lotus tradition.
Everyone who wants to be a member, automatically is. There are no meetings or dues, because this isn't a club. It is a database. If you own an Eleven or know someone who does it should be considered essential to make sure it is registered and accounted for. Meanwhile, try joining the HLR.
Apart from different configurations and engines, and the gradual evolution of the design, Lotus intended for all Elevens sold to be as similar as hand-built cars could be. Many cars however were sold new as partially completed kits, so the final assembly was left to owners and differences from car to car were inevitable. Among 'export' Elevens that left Lotus as finished racing machines, many of the differences that exist today are the result of either pragmatic or confused modifications made over the last fifty years. Some of these changes are part of the history and identity of each car and ought to be preserved. Some are just mistakes.
Author and enthusiast Ian Smith wrote the factory-approved story, including a few chapters and articles on the Eleven. Then after production ended, the cars went through a 'dark age' when little was written about them. Decades later people began asking questions again and the void was filled with a variety of recollections and many errors. For example some original owners had been told they were buying actual Team Lotus cars, or other exaggerations made to help sell cars. Some assumed that their LeMans Elevens had actually been in the race itself. Most owners had no concept of how many Elevens existed and so a stray photo of one in a old magazine could easily be mistaken for their own. Inaccurate race reports, faulty memories and jumbled facts have infected several published histories, which unfortunately have been cited by others. Due to this the Wikipedia page on Elevens has at times been in complete disarray. One of the benefits of a web-based but controlled archive like this site is that errors can quickly be corrected when identified and the record set straight. Many promised articles at www.lotuseleven.org are unfinished however, because complete verification of details hasn't yet been possible.
Persistence and determination are omnipotent. Vehicle history can be gathered with: a survey of information in this database and that of the HLR; interviews of previous owners; research into area race records; careful forensic examination of the car and often, luck. Most cars have at least one prior owner who was diligent about preserving the history. Unfortunately some other owners may have thrown it away. But determined detective work can bring it back. Despite the relatively high number of Elevens built, they always left an impression on the people around them and memories can be surprisingly strong. But time is the enemy, so hurry!
You're the type of person the people asking the previous question want to meet. This website exists to help tie loose ends together. Please contact this register with your information and an effort will be made to locate the car. There have been many successes with continuous vehicle histories established from this kind of cooperation.

What better way to enjoy chili than with bacon and chocolate?
Chocolate bacon chili
Yields 8 servings
Chili purists might have something to say about chocolate and bacon chili. It's not very traditional and you're not going to find it in any classic texts on how to make a great bowl of the Tex-Mex favorite.
You might find a chili recipe with bacon in it, but why stop there when you can add chocolate to your chili, too, and get a brand new dish that will rewrite everything you think you know about the stuff.
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 strips bacon
- 1 onion, diced
- Salt
- 3 pounds ground beef
- 2 tablespoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 8 ounces dark chocolate
- 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup beef broth
- 6 tablespoons chili powder
- Pour the olive oil into a soup pot and get it hot over medium heat. Add the bacon and slowly render out its fat until the bacon is dry and crispy. Remove the bacon.
- Add the onion and a pinch of salt and sauté for 10 minutes.
- Once the onions are ready, add the ground beef, oregano, nutmeg and turmeric. Cook the beef until all traces of pink are gone.
- Add the chocolate a few ounces at a time and let it melt before adding more.
- Pour in the tomatoes and cook them for 3 minutes before adding the beef broth and chili powder.
- Mix in the chili powder, cook for a few more minutes (until the chili powder is well-incorporated) and serve.
You can never have enough chili...

Reworked Nestea with 'infused formula' will hit Italy in 2015
Coca-Cola Hellenic will release a reformulated version of Nestea RTD tea in Italy in 2015 as it seeks to grow the appeal of a global product by tailoring it to the nation's tastebuds.
Following an analyst meeting with the company in Verona this week, Shore Capital analyst Phil Carroll revealed in a note that CCH plans to launch an infused formula with Lemon and Peach flavors in 2015.
Carroll also revealed that CCH is trying to grow share in waters via its Lilia brand – waters are hugely competitive in Italy with 300+ brands, with Nestle the market leader.
"While it would appear the company is stepping-up its marketing effort around Lilia, focusing on its simple and honest proposition alongside its green credentials from a packaging perspective, it would see acquisitions are also very much on the agenda, according to management," Carroll writes.

STANTON Almost exactly 24 hours after a crop-dusting pilot died in a crash near Littlefield, another pilot crashed into a cotton field near Stanton just before noon Thursday.
John H. Wilson, 51, of Powderly, in east Texas, was taken to Midland Memorial Hospital, where he was undergoing surgery Thursday evening and reported to be in critical condition.
Wilson, who was flying as part of the Boll Weevil Eradication program, clipped power lines during "the clean up" phase of the spraying, said Toby Romine, a field unit supervisor with the boll weevil program in Stanton.
During the clean up phase, pilots return to the outer edges of fields to spray areas they may have missed, she said.
The cotton field about three miles northeast of Stanton had three sets of power lines running through it, and Wilson reportedly hit one set of wires after flying over another, Romine said.
Deputy Chief Randy Cozart, with the Martin County Sheriff's office, said Wilson was very lucky to have survived the crash.
The Cessna 188 landed upside down and was destroyed in the crash. Cozart said the plane was scattered over the field. One wing was torn off and the metal boom used for spraying was wrapped around the downed power lines, he said.
Wilson suffered head injuries, but was still conscious and able to speak following the crash, Cozart said.
On Wednesday, Jack LeClair, 75, of Mission, in south Texas, was killed after he clipped power lines and crashed into a cotton field near Littlefield. LeClair also was flying as part of the Boll Weevil Eradication Program.
LeClair's death was the fifth crop-dusting fatality since Oct. 1, 1999, according to the Lubbock office of the Federal Aviation Administration.

I'm a bit confused about the model you are using, though. If I understand that correctly, you don't distinguish between events and behaviors; rather, you are working with data streams in discrete time steps. Still, I don't quite understand. What is pure "yes" . keyDown Space <|> pure "no" supposed to mean? If it's a function Time -> String , how long does it have the "yes" value? 439.7 milliseconds? If it's an event, how often does the "no" event fire? Concerning the other example, I don't understand what the expression "please press space" . notE (keyDown Space) means. If it's a function, what value does it have when the key was pressed? If it's an event, how often does it "fire" the string value? Best regards, Heinrich Apfelmus -- http://apfelmus.nfshost.com

Column: District 518 seeks input on enrollment growth
WORTHINGTON -- The article this week is on the enrollment number and projections for District 518. Each week we continue to enroll students practically on a daily basis, with daily enrollments ranging from two to eight students a day. While we continue to enroll students on a regular basis, we do have some families choose to move during the year for a variety of reasons. As the district works to balance these numbers and make accurate projections, the challenge continues to be how as community we will address the space needs in the future years.
The current enrollment in each of the buildings as of Wednesday this week is as follows:
* Prairie Elementary: 1,119 students
* Middle School: 778 students
* High School: 725 students
* Alternative Learning Center: 93 students
* Total Enrollment: 2,715 students
The enrollment for last year in District 518 was 2,599, so the number of student increase this year is 116 students or a 4.46 percent increase. In the upcoming years we are projecting an increase each year in the range from 2 to 3.6 percent, which are conservative estimates. These percentages equate to an increase of 55 to 99 new students each year.
Currently, the smallest class in Prairie Elementary is 209 students; the largest is 251 students. In coming years the smallest class is projected to be at about 225 students, while the largest will be around 275 students -- which will be well above the building's designed capacity. At the middle school, the smallest class this year is 181 students and the largest is 208, with projections indicating that the smallest class being 204 students and the largest being about 225 students four years from now. This same pattern exists at the high school, with the smallest class being 151 students and the largest being 206. Enrollment projections show in four years that the smallest class will be 192 students and the largest around 215 students.
The enrollment growth is a wonderful thing -- particularly in times when many schools are declining -- so District 518 is in an enviable position. This is not only positive for our school system, but the community as a whole, which can help the overall economy of the region. These projections do not take into account other potential growth to the district like open enrollment, increased available housing, current business expansion or new business to the community. Each of these could increase enrollment at a more dramatic rate, which can put added pressure on the current system.
As the school continues to address its future goals and direction, we encourage you to participate and help to provide input in our success. A consultant has been hired to help lead a study on the district's needs and address the current enrollment growth. A task force will be formed to participate in this planning and we hope that when you are asked, that you will be able to participate in the process. A community meeting will be held during the process to help keep everyone involved and informed of the potential direction of the district in order to address the enrollment growth.
District 518 would like to thank you for the support and commitment to our children currently as well as in the future. These future leaders will help to make our community, state and country a wonderful place to live.
John Landgaard is District 518's superintendent.

It sounds like Disney's about to get back in the saddle with Gore Verbinski's The Lone Ranger, with an official announcement regarding the start of production potentially arriving next week.
If you haven't been tracking the progress of the project, Disney pulled the plug on the Johnny Depp-Armie Hammer production weeks ago as budgets ballooned near $250 million. Reports surrounding the troubled production involved strange supernatural subplots tied to Depp's Tonto character. One rumor even involved CGI werewolves which have subsequently been cut.
Last week, though, it was reported that Disney was inching closer to closing a deal that would put The Lone Ranger back into production, and now Deadline says that the stalemate likely will be resolved next week, with cameras rolling as early as January or February 2012.
The new budget, according to the report, is closer to $215 million after deals for Depp, Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer were reworked. Disney's hesitancy was tied, at the time, to the financial failure of Universal's costly Cowboys & Aliens, which the site admits is going to cost the studio a "fortune" when all is said and done. Still, it was shocking that Disney would flinch on anything Verbinski and Depp wished to do together after the duo helped deliver the lucrative Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy.
So, it sounds like The Lone Ranger is back on track. If the main players cut tighter deals, hopefully that means Verbinski can keep in some of the mystical elements that potentially would make the Wild West production a bit weird. There's no confirmation if Disney's back-and-forth means the film will back off of its previously announced Dec. 21, 2012 release date (where it would have gone head-to-head with Ang Lee's Life of Pi and Brad Pitt's World War Z). Disney move the release date back much like Warner Bros. did with its anticipated Superman reboot, Man of Steel. We'll let you know the minute we hear any news regarding date shifts but for now, it looks like the Lone Ranger rides again. Are you happy?

Pumking Imperial Pumpkin Ale
Southern Tier Brewing Company | Lakewood, New York
Recommended by Michael Romans, Romans' Pub
"This is my favorite pumpkin beer. The deep copper color lets you know there's something special going on. As you bring the glass to your nose, aromas of pumpkin and pie spices emerge with hints of vanilla and roasted pecan. The first sip reveals cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, allspice and vanilla. The big sweet malt back ends with a warming alcohol finish."
One of the most recognizable pumpkin beers around, Southern Tier's Pumking has a gentle haze that sits atop its pale golden color beneath a thin white head. Canned pumpkin and hints of cooked white rice invite caramel cube and vanilla extract flavors, followed by nutmeg and cinnamon on the nose. Vanilla tannins hide behind graham cracker pie crust in this hefty beer. To top it off, it doesn't come close to drinking like its alcohol percent might suggest.
Samuel Smith's Organic Apricot Ale
The Old Brewery, Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Recommended By Elissa Cahn
Yorkshire's oldest brewery, Samuel Smith's, began in 1758. Located in Tadcaster, the brewery has used the same strain of yeast for over a hundred years, and water used to brew beer is drawn from the same original well. The brewery is so committed to ancient methods that local deliveries are still carried by horse. Samuel Smith's Organic Apricot Ale has origins at two breweries in England—wheat and barley ferments into ale at Melbourn Bros' (which still uses hand-operated equipment) and is transferred to Samuel Smith's, where it is combined with another beer and apricot juice. Good news for those who avoid animal products: all Samuel Smith beers and ciders are vegan.
Honey-colored, sweet and slightly tart, the apricot ale tastes like an adult soda—almost a beermosa. The fruitiness makes this especially enjoyable sipped outside in warm weather. Minimally hopped, there is a welcome bitterness in the finish that helps cut the sugariness of the juice. For less intense sweetness, consider combining it with sparkling water. Alternatively, this makes a great beer cocktail with sparkling sake. Orange, mango or peach juices would also pair well. An 18.7 oz. bottle is $5-$7—a good size for sharing with a friend or making cocktails at a small gathering.
