The Loft

Poughkeepsie, NY, 12601
Doors 9:00 PM (event ends at 2:00 AM)
The Takeover
the takeover is a little band from southern ohio. we are also a coagulate of Christians. all of our lyrics are from personal experiences involving God, or are related to our faith in some way.
we've been described as everything from skillet to tool to ozzy to manson, although we don't really agree. we combine a few lighter guitar parts with rediculously heavy music tuned to a low low B, and throw in melodic vocals in a type of music you would expect nothing but screaming and growling. that's not to say we don't have screaming and growling. there's plenty of that to go around, as well.
its hard to describe but we guess we are some form of sub-hardcore/metal something. each of our members get influences from a wide range of musical styles and bands. collectively, we listen to emo, hardcore, death metal, bluegrass, big band, metalcore, straight out rock, almost anything. our music is a mixture of what each of us chooses to borrow from music we listen to. but it usually just ends up being hard. let's face it. if metalcore and emo got in a fight, emo's not going to stand a chance.

Manic Productions Presents
Bleeding Rainbow
Fat Creeps, High Pop
254 Crown Street
New Haven, CT, 06511
This event is 21 and over
Nevermind the constant threat of a cease and desist letter, when Carrie Brownstein tells you that your band name is weak, you change it. But it isn't as simple as a name change for Philadelphia's minimal noise pop duo Reading Rainbow, significant line up additions facilitated the adoption of a new moniker. So...drum roll please...as we reintroduce Philadelphia's Bleeding Rainbow, now a full-blown, Brownstein-approved, rock quartet. The name better represents the band's evolving sound and is all around more badass and trippy as sh*t. The founding members, Sarah Everton, who moved from drums to bass to give her vocals a better chance to shine, and vocalist/guitarist Rob Garcia are now joined by Al Creedon on lead guitar and drummer Greg Frantz.
While 2010's album release Prism Eyes gained significant attention and raised the band's profile among the indie elite, even that set might not be aware of the previous self-released album Mystical Participation. If Prism Eyes is, by their own description, their attempt at writing pop songs, and Mystical Participation emphasizes an aesthetic of loud and drone-y guitars instead of focused song structure, Yeah Right, the band's third album release set for October 9th, 2012 on Kanine Records, is the merging and maturation of all these ideas and sounds.
For Yeah Right, the band has opted for a bi-polar approach to production, pushing the extremes of murky, ominous and sometimes harsh and fuzzed-out guitar onslaughts ("Pink Ruff") as well as a strong repertoire of hushed, ethereal moments ("Cover the Sky") aiming to evoke a nostalgia for 90s slacker culture without sounding bored or contrived. While previous releases reside in the reverb-soaked psychedelic pop realm, Bleeding Rainbow says, "the sound this time around was more directly influenced by bands from our teenage-hood such as Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, and Yo La Tengo to name a few." Mixing hints of Greg Sage's anthemic, anxiety-ridden punk riffs, with equal parts drone and noise swells reminiscent of Kevin Shields at his most inventive, with an overlaying of boy-girl harmonies, Bleeding Rainbow channels the Mamas and the Papas as if backed by early Smashing Pumpkins.
With the inclusion of two long time friends and supporters of the band, Bleeding Rainbow has not only freed itself from the limitations of a two-piece, but given themselves a chance to delve deeper into the mood of songs and allow for extended instrumental sections ("Drift Away"). A more collaborative songwriting approach has resulted in more complex songs, but that does not mean they are without pretty sounds or pop moments. So while Yeah Right opens up easy and welcoming ("Go Ahead"), the end will leave you feeling as if a wall of noise has permeated through your body ("Get Lost"). Bleeding Rainbow set out to create something beautiful from harsh noise, and Yeah Right succeeds wildly at doing just that.
High Pop is primarily a recording project produced by Sean Henry Posila and Jordan Caulfield, who originally met at the same all-boy Catholic high school in Connecticut and bonded over punk bands like The Clash. Most recently, artists Daniel George and Alexander Goosmann joined the group, providing aid with writing and live performances. Now, living all over the Northeast, the band has sprouted scenes everywhere- from Boston to Brooklyn and in between. High Pop calls themselves a fuzzy, degenerated "pretend pop" experience, hyperactively exploiting many genres at once.

Across the Pacific, the voyaging canoe is said to represent genealogy. Pacific Islanders trace their origins to certain canoes, for each is a sacred and living treasure that connects people to their ancestry. As she voyages, the canoe embodies balance, harmony, teamwork, and respect.The great migration of the Pacific people began in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, by setting sail to the East. Thousands of years later and, in an extraordinary feat of ocean exploration, our ancestors ventured into the farthest reaches of the Pacific Ocean; a vast expanse nearly twice the size of the United States, spanning from Rapanui (Easter Island) in the east to Aotearoa (New Zealand) in the southwest and Hawaii in the north. These ancient seafarers traveled on double-hulled voyaging canoes for thousands of miles, carrying everything they would need, from root crops and seeds to domestic animals, to thrive in a new land.As an oceanic people, Pacific Islanders have a history of navigating without instruments across vast distances to discover far-flung islands. They sailed by acute observation, educated intuition and intricate observation of the stars, sun, moon, wildlife and ocean swells.
In recent times, the ancient art of wayfinding was nearly extinct until one of its last keepers, master navigator Mau Piailug from Micronesia, on the island of Sattawal, chose to teach. He mentored Nainoa Thompson, who then became the first Hawaiian and Polynesian since the 14th century to practice the art of wayfinding on long-distance ocean voyages. In 1976, they successfully navigated Hōkūle`a across 2,500 miles on her first voyage from Hawaii to Tahiti. A double-hulled voyaging canoe, Hōkūle`a was first imagined to fruition by visionary artist Herb Kawainui Kane, but her soul is centuries old. Her voyages have inspired an extraordinary cultural revival and renewal of pride that continues to empower and inspire future leadership.
Today we continue to voyage, recognizing the Earth as a planet of finite resources and our only home. The vaka is a microcosm of our Pacific Islands, but also of our larger island that is planet Earth. It is a window in time, connecting us with our mana – our spirit- of collective consciousness, ancient knowledge, harmony and teamwork. Bridging ancestral wisdom and renewable energy, the vaka tells a universal story of hope. The voyaging canoe is a powerful model of intergenerational learning and cross-cultural legacy, with tremendous potential to inspire pride in our common heritage, and to motivate change as we navigate towards a world of ecological sustainability.

Bad review of the review.
This is a great TV ( Ive just bought one ) and that was a terrible review!
As others have said, I cant believe it was tested without a HD source ( listen to your son - get that PS3! )
The thing to note about this TV is value. You can get it for £ 600 + 5 year warranty if you shop around.
It costs £1000 for the 50" version of this , or the Sammy 46" 1080p LCD costs around £1500 ( your eye can only see the difference in the higher res when you go over 42" )
This may not be the best TV out there, but its very good and you cant complain at that price. Or at least thats the conclusion I came to after 5 days of soul destroying research and a £ 2k budget.

Denis Lamoureux gave a lecture series this past July at the annual conference of the American Scientific Affiliation.. Denis opposes concordism and accepts the general principles of evolution. In the series he explores ancient science in order to show that the truths of Scripture are not ultimately in conflict with the findings of evolutionary biology His series is available for any interested.
|1. Introductory Principles
|28 mins
|2. Ancient Geography/Geology
|24 mins
|3. Ancient Astronomy
|27 mins
|4. Ancient Biology
|35 mins
|5. Conclusions & Implications
|29 mins
An introduction to the ancient science in Scripture also appears in Denis' book I Love Jesus and I Accept Evolution (2009). Click Here
I enjoyed Dr. Lamoureux's lecture and agree with a great deal that he says. Placing the material in its proper Nilo-Saharan context would have helped the series. Without this context there is a significant oversight of Horus as the fixer of cosmic boundaries, a widespread idea in the ancient world.
Denis also missed the binary framework of the Nilo-Saharans reflected in Genesis 1-4, their understanding of primal substance and cause, the motivation behind the development of sidereal astronomy, and the Nilotic understanding of Biblical "kinds" as essences. Nevertheless, I recommend the series and encourage readers of Just Genesis to listen to the lectures.
The difference between the genetic code of apes and humans is the T (tau) or Cross. Consistent with Biblical symbolism and imagery, it is located at the "sacred" center. Remember the Tree of Life was at the center of the garden. Compare the following:
Human: G-C-C-G-A-T-A-A-G-C-A-C
Chimp: G-C-C-G-A-G-A-A-G-C-A-C

There were just two words on J.C. Sherritt's mind over the off-season.
And, despite it being just Day 2 of training camp, you can't exactly blame the Edmonton Eskimos middle linebacker for talking about the Grey Cup.
But after following up the West Division nomination for most outstanding rookie in 2011 with the CFL's most outstanding defensive player award in 2012, there isn't much left for the Green and Gold's little big man in the way of one-upping himself.
"I hope for a Grey Cup, that's going to be the goal every year," said the 5-foot-10, 218-pound Eastern Washington product who played college ball with Eskimos quarterback Matt Nichols. "But at the same time, you've got to respect the grind and respect the work you've got to put in to really even talk about that, you know?
"And the truth of it is, we haven't earned that right to talk about it yet. That's the process right now, so we're just taking every day and trying to get better and trying to get to that level."
Individually, Sherritt has managed to set the bar higher than anyone ever before, by setting a CFL single-season record with 130 tackles last year.
Well, higher than anyone who has played since they started keeping track of that stat, at least.
"I've been really fortunate to kind of have those elevated situations because after my rookie year, we talked about the exact same thing," Sherritt said. "You go through that in college: 'You had a good junior year, now what are you going to do with it?'
"So I think that's a great situation to be in and you're either going to shy away from that spotlight or just embrace it."
There is no doubt which choice Sherritt is making after having to sit out last year's East Division semifinal playoff loss to the Toronto Argonauts due to a nagging ankle injury.
"It was good to get that off-season in, get that rested up and it feels great to be running full-speed again and be out here," Sherritt said.
And if there is one thing both Sherritt and Nichols know about this past off-season, it's rehabbing ankle injuries.
"It was hilarious. We were at Greg Peach's wedding, actually," Sherritt said of his other fellow former Eastern Washington and Eskimos teammate. "(Nichols) tucked himself into the corner and was icing while we were out having fun."
But both are back now and ready to continue their peculiarly paralleling careers, with Nichols vying to quarterback the Eskimos offence while Sherritt quarterbacks the defence from the middle linebacker position.
And Sherritt isn't about to pretend he's trying to be impartial over whether Nichols can win the starting job over Mike Reilly.
"That's my roommate, we've played now seven years together, so I'm not going to lie and say that," Sherritt said. "But I trust my coaches and I trust everyone here. I know they're going to put the best player on the field and they're going to put us in the best situation to win."
And besides, it's not like Sherritt is holding anything back when Nichols takes the snaps in training camp.
"Absolutely not, I want to pick him off more than anybody," Sherritt said, smiling. "It's been like that since we started playing together.
"I've only picked him off twice in seven years. so I'm trying to get him every time, trust me."
After all, the better the competition over these next two weeks, the better the chances Sherritt will have of earning the right to say those two little words.

It was double trouble on tonight's Survivor as two contestants went home. Why? Who? And how? My full recap will be up at midnight, but if you've already watched and want to sound off on what happened, then read on for more. [SPOILER ALERT: Read on only if you have already watched Wednesday's episode of Survivor: Cagayan.]
The episode started in dramatic fashion as Trish and Lindsey exchanged verbal barbs in a confrontation that eventually caused Lindsey to remove herself from the tribe…permanently. After being visited by Jeff Probst, Lindsey made the decision to quit, fearing that if she didn't she would "flip out" on Trish. (Evidently, telling someone "You disgust me. Everything about you is annoying. Your laugh. Your teeth. Your face. Everything about you I cannot stand," is not considered flipping out.)
Things got better for the Solana tribe after that, as they won the reward challenge, allowing them to steal their opponent's supplies as part of a camp raid and inspiring Tony to cause confusion by making up some phony baloney about giving a hidden immunity idol clue to Jeremiah. Then, Solana won the immunity challenge as well, forcing Aparri to vote out one of their own — that one being Alexis.
My full recap will be up at midnight, but you can sound off right here and right now. Did Lindsey do the mature thing by removing herself from the situation, or just use it as an excuse to quit? Do you love or loathe how aggressive Tony is playing the game? And did Aparri send the right person packing? Hit the message boards to register your vote.

Williams Mill Gallery will present Scapes and Faces, a solo art exhibition of recent abstract paintings and drawings by artist Gwen Tooth from Wednesday, Feb. 19 until Sunday, March 9.

A reception and an opportunity to meet the artist will be held on Sunday, March 2, 2 to 4 p.m.

Tooth has earned a Fine Arts Certificate from Humber College and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from OCAD U. She paints what she feels, in her own style, which is a blend of expressionism and Fauvism.

Tooth will instruct a Williams Mill Visual Arts Centre workshop in acrylic abstraction in which she will provide insights about influential artists of the 20th and 21st centuries who have blurred the boundaries between realism and abstraction. She will then invite participants to follow the path to abstraction using various approaches to landscape- to zoom in and paint expressively and geometrically.

The workshop will take place Saturday, March 1, 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Register at www.williamsmill.com, or in person at the Williams Mill Gallery.

Following !!! looks very promising !
This member has provided no bio about themself...
Following !!! looks very promising !
Does anyone still have the old Christmas Demo files, back from 2009/2010 ?
i renember playing that demo version with friends 7 years ago,
Every year ive been voting on this mod for Mod of the Year competition on this website. 6 years long...
I just saw CoH2 now also has an Zombie mod, but i dont want to play that, ive been waiting 6 years for this mod,
Hell idd be happy if we could have our old demo back,
Greetings Skapunker
R.I.P. Kowski, i know it must have been hard on you to take on the development on your own.
So just because u can't get it to work, no one else should play it... ?
the mod never crashes for me, seems to be something on your client side,
Is there any chance u can also add the new Construction objects,
like the turret / walls/ silo /
reason why im asking this is, because it would make pre planning base building in planetside 2 alot easier.
Cool, This is Battlefield 5 for me till October 21st !!!
According to Moddb u made this mod, or total conversion on Mission: Humanity,
When i looked up Mission: Humanity , i was so astonished.
The screens ive seen of mission humanity, looked like a 2d strategy game kinda like C&C or Dune.
How could u possibly have turned that game into an 3d N64 Goldeneye looking game ?????
my mind is just boggled....
I think Joining the Nights watch would "Sound Cool"
But essentially it will mean that your stuck on that wall, and your not allowed to go anywhere else. and have to wait a few thousand years for any action...
aw thats a pity, ill guess ill remove this from my watchlist then, looked so promising.
Im so happy with this fix, and i even see like 4 to 5 servers for it, although all emptey.
Are there any events planned any time soon ?
Does this mean this mod is working again ???
o boy this used to be my all time favorite mod, Building castles and everything, and then destroying the enemy castles. ( i know forts, but for me it was a pre-lude to castle building sims, hehehe.
Gonna download it now, and will hope there are servers for this!!! lets revive this mod !!
So does this mean Commander Battle is supported ?
any chance to make the bot count of zulus higher than the british ones, in comander battle?
So is this suppose to be the Pass of Thermopylae ?
Where 300 Zulu Warriors defend against the Unstoppable British-Persian Hordes !!!
Extra late reply, i also have an overkill for an pc, i7 3930k, 32 GB ram, gtx 690.
Im specially getting a huge fps drop whenever i bring up the radial menu with F and try to Scan, or use anything in that wheel, the game pretty much comes to an halt. until i release the F button, and everything is normal again. wich is rather game breaking for me, since this game involvees alooot of scanning...
Antlion troopers:
Antlion Troopers Deuce
Hello there CommanderWasp1x,
First of all i wanted to thankyou for this turret mod,
For years i have been trying to spawn a turret, wich is friendly, but have not been able to,
Most particulary there is an map i have been trying to get it to work in, 2 mods named: Antlion Troopers and Antlion Troopers Deuce,
When recently installing those mods i was unable to get them to work anymore, but i manage to solve it by starting them in Synergy mod,
I am able to Spawn the Turrets there, however the turrets attack Me and my allies, the Combine, I myself am also classed as an combine i think because the turrets i spawn also shoot at me.
I was wondering how i can make the Combine also Friendly in your mod, or if u maby can help me make an special modified file for this mod,
I think u will love that mod aswell, its Entirely build around the point of defence with turrets!!!
Antlion Troopers and Antlion Troopers Deuce !!!
The Forgotten Mod.
Tracking !!!!
TRACKING mod, looks promising !!!
Everywhere i read this error occurs because they to low memory...
I have 32GB Ram, on 2400mhz,
if anything i have to much ram.... yet i have the same problem as the people with little to no ram..
Wow what a Cool Trippy rainbow of colors is this page, when u quickly scroll up and down the map page .....
Oke yesterday i started the campagne of The Great War,
And today rome total War 2 came out.
I played the Prologue of Rome 2 for a couple of hours.
And then i got tired of rome.
And i flocked back to The Great War mod !!!!
Great game, cant believe after months of waiting for rome 2, i actually prefer The Great War !!!
not that many WW1 games out there, and i had some awesome last stand defences in here, fending off wave after wave after wave. unique gameplay. im loving it !!!
Its only €6.99 on steam right now, you would be shooting yourself in the foot if u did not buy it,
There are hundreds of very goood good mods out there that need this expansion.
Dont think your only buying epsiode 2, think your buying Acces to a large amount of Comminity Mods, that will prolong your playtime by at least 500 hours, if all played !!!
I renember when Half-Life 2: Wars v0.1 came out in 2007, i tried to convince serveral friends to play it, but few i could convince,
"a HL2 strategy game?" they asked, and still couldnt believe it today...
so it has been 6 years since i first layed eyes on your first alpha version.
i hope alot has been improved,
And that i can have the Starship Troopers Experience again.
Does this mean this mod gives u an Single player Campaign missions to play in battlefield 2??
@Cobra92, lfmao, do u still have internet from the stone ages?
i have 120mbit fiberwire, with a download rate of 15mb/s
this small file of 1.3GB, i downloaded it under 2 minutes,
sounds like its time for u to upgrade your internet!!
lol, me toooooo
very nice art. its like an museum
is this like an shieldgun??? ice shield?

Dried figs don't get enough love. They're right there in the produce department, usually hanging out with the nuts and croutons, yet we pass them by without a moment's thought as to how delicious they may be, seeing as their fresh seasonal cousins are what the heavens must taste like.
Let's see if we can't change the fortunes of the dried fig by making them into a pleasing pass-around winter party appetizer. I'm not going to list ingredient amounts here because you can make one or 50 Brie-stuffed figs, crowd-dependent. But here's what you'll need and how to do it:
1. Simply open figs and stuff with a nub of brie. (Note: I tried it with blue cheese first, thinking it would be the perfect flavour combo, and it tasted perfectly wrong. Live and learn.)
2. Close figs up around cheese, and dip in beaten egg, then press into panko crumbs for a light, not-all- encompassing coating.
3. Shallow fry in vegetable oil, and then drain on paper towel before plating them up with a drizzle of runny honey overtop and a few flakes of Maldon or another finishing salt. They're hot, chewy, crispy, poppy, sweet and salty, these little figgy wonders.

"That's Numberwang!"
From hence forth, I shall call Burton and Shawn- Pete and Repeat. Rupert rules man I was lmao when he pilaged Morgan's stuff was great- It was deserved, imo. I like Lillian- I laughed when she told Ryan when she thought about not telling everyone else where that water source was, and then thought other wise.
I kinda sympathized with Ryan S. a little bit- he pointed out the unorganization and lack of team unity I think that even though it was a nice gesture on Andrew's part about Osten loosing his drawers( which was idiotic of him to sell off his belt) but Morgan lost some time when Andrew and Ryan O dropped trou- that hurt them too.
when they were in the village that woman wanted trish's eyes
i was scared when 1st read the caption and then when Sandra translated that meaning i laughed. Great first ep.
Osten acts before he thinks- he .. oh never mind.
Pete and Repeat or for those of you who are tuning in i am talking about the twins, Burton and Shawn. Burton, what was he thinking getting 1 fish? I mean, I don't think that there would have been enough to share with Michelle after he and Shawn finished that one Fish. Then, Rupert. the lord of pillaged things, in all his wisdom - remembered that there were other people on the island and plenty of fish not enough for 8 he too figured that Pete and Repeat could share one. Then was great rejoicing- ARRRR! long live Rupert!
So boys and girls what have we learned here this evening I can think of a few things- let's see - Never call a scout master a liar cuz that would you get off the island very quickly! And its nice to know that some of the members of the Morgan tried to free willy(s) in the jungle!! ;-)
A note to you ep recappers- please feel free to use anything in this post.- you have my blessing and it would be an honor.

Great episode... so glad it's back. The theme always gets me excited.
I loved the idea of bartering for items in the village. I'm surprised that the people I expected to like, I didn't (with the exception of Rupert) and the people I thought I wouldn't like, I do.
I felt so bad for them in the beginning, but almost everyone took it in stride.
I like Sandra, she really took charge in the village without being too agressive. I did find her to be a little bit of a whiner. I like Ryan S & Lillian and found it kind of sweet that they bonded... I'm always happy when outsiders bond.
Hah! You don't like "The Ambiguously Gay Duo?" :-) Whose love for each other is obvious, because its the closest possible thing to self-love for them.From hence forth, I shall call Burton and Shawn- Pete and Repeat.
Miss Filangi...I love the new avatar!
Wow, didn't see that coming...I guess now Nicole can go put on some underwear.

Wow ! What a great first episode. If some of the other ones didn't hook me right off the start this one sure did. MB sure knows how to grab our attention.
Burton and Shawn sure know how to annoint themselves as leaders and alienate the other tribe members (which is which?). Still, I like Drake and they didn't seem to have nearly as much conflict as Morgan. Rupert knows what the pirates life is all about and Drake amazed me with how much they were able to get. I guess Morgan can skip all of their coins on the ocean or something.
I thought Christa was going to turn out better than I thought, but that voice. She was a team player with her dress though.
Jon, started out OK, but then totally obnoxious with the alcohol. I think it was Michelle you could see shrug. He said he was a funny guy, but that didn't seem funny, but annoying. I wonder if he is using the jokes as a defense mechanism to hide something?
Rupert and Michelle were and still probably are my favorites. Michelle didn't get much airtime, but Rupert was even better than I thought he'd be. Sandra was a great help at the start, but she lost me from there. Trish didn't get a lot of face time either.
For Morgan, I think they have a lot of issues to work out. Andrew seems to play the leadership role well, but I see this tribe unraveling quickly. Lillian and Ryan S. turned out to be much more of my favorites than before, but they need to get back in the tribe fast. I really don't know what Nicole was trying to do, but she was acting too "princessy" anyway and I felt she should have been first. Making up stories 3 days in or whatever won't help you get anywhere. Darrah didn't get much time either but she seemed much prettier than in her photos . And fellas, keep your pants on when around cannons. You just won't match up.
Log off. That cookie sh*t makes me nervous. --Tony Soprano
So I said to him, "Look, buddy, your car was upside down when we got here. And as for your Grandma, she shouldn't have mouthed off like that!" --Homer Simpson
What a fun opener!
Yes, Darrah is from Mississippi, thus the suthern drawl. Much different than Millie's North Carolina accent tho. Hopefully the no face time means good things for her.
Ok, I am not sure about the other personalities because I was too busy loving Rupert. I am glad that my first feelings about him were true. The look on his face when he decided to pillage was classic. Did they show the other team find their belongings missing? I missed it if they did.
It was the best first episode of Survivor yet. I really loved the looks on their faces when they found out that the show had begun...classic. Mark Burnett rules.
He who laughs last thinks slowest
#oldmanbeatdown - Donny BB16
Yeah, I completely forgot about Darrah until she had that little confessional at the end of the episode. I have NO idea what to think about her.
I loved the Morgan Behind edit when they showed the guys butts! Oh, I cracked up at that point.
Yes, now Nicole can put on some underwear. I commented that it was probably good for her.

Pharmakon Paperback
by Dirk Wittenborn
'I was born because a man came to kill my father.' It is 1950s America and madness is in the air.
In a world where the 'cures' for craziness include coma therapy, cyanide treatment, sulphur injections and full-frontal lobotomies, Dr. William T. Friedrich's ambitions are more modest. He just wants to find a way to prescribe happiness. Friedrich, a young, ambitious professor of psychology at Yale has stumbled upon a drug that promises to make him famous.
Derived from an exotic plant, 'The Way Home' seems to possess the secret ingredient of happiness.
But Friedrich and his colleague Bunny Winton must find subjects willing to test their hypothesis, and in Casper Gedsic, a fiercely intelligent, socially inept, near-suicidal maths student they seem to have found their perfect guinea pig.
But when their experiment goes awry and Casper's thirst for revenge turns murderous, his actions will have consequences that haunt Friedrich and his family forever.
Friedrich's youngest son, Zach, who owes his existence to the fallout of those turbulent months, grows up in the shadow of Casper Gedsic.
For him and his family, the bogeyman is real. Despite Friedrich and his wife's best efforts, they remain defined and imprisoned by the memory of Casper, and his presence continues to haunt them as they move from their well-ordered suburban life of post-war America through the chaos and freedom of the counterculture into the drug-fuelled, media-crazed eighties and beyond, each pursuing their own quest for happiness while tainted indelibly by the past.

How to Visit the Louvre
Originally designed as a palace along the banks of the Seine River, the Musee du Louvre in Paris, France, is perhaps the most famous museum in the world. According to the Louvre database, it exhibits some 30,000 items, including crown jewels, Mesopotamian treasures, the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. Its stunning collection of art makes it one of the busiest attractions in Paris. It can take an hour just to gain entrance. To change what could be exhausting sensory overload into an exhilarating sensual exploration, plan your visit to the Louvre carefully.
Visiting Tactics
Step 1
Visit during the slow seasons. Peak season is June through August, when, according to Claude Mignot, author of "The Pocket Louvre," as many as 15,000 tour the museum daily. It's open every day except Tuesdays; crowds start to disperse after 3 p.m. Extended hours are offered on Wednesdays and Fridays, and if you head over after 6 p.m., admission is free to those under age 26. Although it is tempting to visit on July 14 -- Bastille Day -- or the first Sunday every month, when admission is free for all visitors, be aware that lines will be especially lengthy.
Step 2
Avoid long lines at the well-known Pyramid entrance at the center of the Louvre's courtyard. To cut an hour or more off your queue time, use the entrance directly accessible from the Metro station Palais Royal-Musee du Louvre or the entrance at the Porte des Lions near the river. You can also get in line at the Passage Richelieu or the Galerie du Carrousel entrances. Escape long lines entirely by purchasing tickets in advance by phone or online. They are available at ticket services or from FNAC (fnactickets.com), an entertainment retail chain. Additionally, tickets are sold at a number of department stores in France. Better yet, you can purchase the Paris Museum Pass that gives you access to more than 60 attractions, including the Louvre. The pass is available at the Louvre's membership center, participating museums and monuments, Paris Tourist Offices and metro stations. With passes or tickets in hand, you can go directly to the checkpoint at the front of the line.
Step 3
Plan a succession of mini-visits, each day focusing on just one to three schools or periods in the museum's collection -- the French Revolution, Greek antiquities, Islamic art, for example. Tickets are valid all day, so you can come and go as you please. Galleries are spread over three wings and four floors, so buying a museum map and taking this approach can help you avoid disorientation and exhaustion. Check the museum's website before you go, though, because staff shortages sometimes necessitate gallery closures on a rolling schedule.
Step 4
Take a guided tour of the highlights. Tours provide an overview of the museum's collections and are available in a variety of languages. They depart from the Pyramid throughout the day. To get a real feel for exhibits you would like to see, go to the Louvre's website before visiting the museum to see a virtual tour of the most important pieces in each collection.
- Grab light refreshments at the relatively uncrowded cafes on the museum's first floor.
- Plan short visits with young children. Viewing just six or seven highlights is plenty for children under age 12.

"In general terms, social capital represents social connections and all the benefits they generate. The benefits for people having these social connections can occur either at an individual level (for example, through family support) or at a wider collective level (for example, through volunteering). Social capital is also associated with values such as tolerance, solidarity or trust. These are beneficial to society and are important for people to be able to cooperate." (Veronique Siegler, 2014)
"Few data exist that could be used to evaluate the contribution of social capital to specific public policy issues." (Franke, 2005)
The purpose of this research is to raise awareness and understanding of social capital's impact on well-being. We believe that increased awareness and understanding will result in changes to public policies and services so that social capital is increased, the value of belonging is recognized, and community well-being is strengthened.

June 2009 – Nancee Bershof
Grow Food Together !
Nancee Bershof has been thinking about the best way to use her yard, a little less than an acre, behind her house out in the Greenfield meadows. "I took the Permaculture classes offered by David Jakke last year, and I was really excited about the possibilities."
Nancee's house is situated on some prime agricultural land and she wanted to invite other people to share in the benefits of the large garden space she planned to create. "Folks in Greenfield often don't have access to good garden space" said Nancee who is a big advocate of community gardening. "I just broke ground a couple months ago, and the farmer across the street, provided compost for enriching the soil." Nancee wrote an article in Green Field's Market newsletter, "The New Beet", inviting people to consider joining her in this project; now there are seven gardeners ready to cultivate and plant and harvest together. Nancee's back yard will have berry bushes, a children's garden with strawberries, a compost system, a perennial garden with perennial kale, watercress, etc., and a pond for water lilies (their tubers are raised for food).
Nancee selected her current house a few years ago because she was
seeking a smaller home after her family had grown. She has had the
house walls insulated this spring, and will be adding a third layer of
window inserts to "triple glaze" her larger windows. She has also added
a photovoltaic array to her back yard, which generates 400-600 kilowatts of electricity
each month. Nancee is curious about the many ways she can reduce her household's energy use and is consciously aware of wanting to make a difference in her impact on Greenfield's total energy use. Each household can make a difference.

Highlighting both recent improvements and serious areas of concern, a comprehensive assessment of Virginia's capital punishment system that was released today aims to better ensure fairness and accuracy in the state's death penalty system.
The two-year review — sponsored by the American Bar Association's Death Penalty Due Process Review Project and released at a press conference at Virginia's State Capitol —concludes that the death penalty in Virginia must be reserved for a narrow category of the worst offenders and offenses and that every effort must be made to ensure heightened due process and minimize the risk of executing the innocent.
The review was conducted by an eight-member, Virginia-based assessment team, which includes a former trial judge, state legislators, former and current prosecutors, defense attorneys and academics. It is one of 12 comprehensive state reviews sponsored by the ABA's Death Penalty Due Process Review Project over the past decade (assessments also have been conducted in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri and Tennessee). The Virginia assessment will be followed by a review of Texas' death penalty system, which is expected to be released in mid-September.
"The ABA is committed to ensuring due process under the law for every American. Too often, when it comes to the ways in which the death penalty is imposed in this country, fairness is neither assured nor implied. Unfortunately, many states are not minimizing the risk of executing the innocent," ABA President James R. Silkenat said. "Comprehensive assessments, like the one conducted recently in Virginia concerning its death penalty practices, give states a needed starting point in looking at any problems inherent in their administration of capital punishment — and ultimately addressing any existing obstacles to due process and justice."
The assessments aim to give states an objective instrument to evaluate the administration of the death penalty, based on uniform benchmarks. The Virginia assessment examines 12 aspects of death penalty administration, from arrest to execution. The report highlights recent improvements in the system and identifies areas of concern, all of which are considered critical to ensuring fundamental fairness in death penalty cases. Some of these areas include:
"We all want a system in Virginia that is both fair and reduces the risk — to the extent possible — of wrongful conviction or execution," said John Douglass, chair of the Virginia assessment team and dean emeritus at the University of Richmond School of Law. "As long as Virginia implements the death penalty, everyone in the legal community, from judges to prosecutors to defense attorneys, has a vested interest in a system where such cases are administered in a fair and impartial manner, in accordance with due process."
The full report and executive summary are available here.

Hello all,
Please forgive the time it has taken to transition the company following Frans unexpected passing. My name is Melissa, I am Jeff and Frans granddaughter, I've had the pleasure of meeting and speaking to several of you on the phone. I myself was not well the month and half following her passing and had to be hospitalized leading me to be unable to get into the office as needed. However, after 2 surgeries and the extra early arrival of Jeff and Frans great granddaughter, I have everything back up and running to better fulfill everyone's needs! I do not reside in the same location of the office as Fran did so I am not always there to receive everyone's calls immediate, however I can always be reached on my cell phone at 615-879-4911 or on our new email address
. I apologize to everyone who has tried to reach us via Frans email, as this email is no longer valid due to many communication error and even more missing emails we cannot seem to recover. I look forward to hearing from you all and please let me know if there is anything I can do for you! It is my honor to continue Jeff and Fran's legacy.
God Bless you all!
Thank you so much for your continued support

Melissa, This is great.
Jeff and Fran were my very dear friends for over 35 years. Jeff did me the honor of letting me handle the sound for the June Jams when we had them at the campground.
I handled the sound at the ISGC and the two of them would always come and sit with me and guide me (hehe).
After Jeff's passsing, Fran and I would always have breakfast together at the ISGC and the TSGA shows.
I truly miss them both.
Good luck to you and please let me know if I can help in any way.

Thanks so much Y'all!
I can't thank y'all enough for being so welcoming and supportive! The steel guitar community has always been a major part of my family and I look forward to continuing the tradition! I have many many fond memories of ISGC not only as a child but the last few years before Scottys passing as well. I definately plan to bring Jeffran Music to a few conventions in the upcoming future! I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you!
Y'all are great!

Some of my best times were with Jeff & Fran when they opened the school out on I-40. I flew in from Florida and Jeff picked me up on his Baby Blue Cady. We went back to the school and got me settled in. We got started early Monday morning, he made me the player I am today. I enjoyed the whole week, day after day of Jeffs teaching and a steady stream of the greatest Nashville players I had heard on all of those great country tunes coming in to visit and give us some attention like no one else could have done, there was Buddy, Hal,Randy(he was just a little youg guy then)Jeff told me to watch this guy,he's going places and he did and some I didn't know who they were until one of the guys I meet in class told me who they were. The last night was a special jam with Buddy Emmons and a hand picked band, he played every thing you could want to hear, I'll never forget those weeks. I stayed in touch with Jeff and I guess I have every thing he has for the E9th PSG. I am so glad Jeff will live on through this outlet. I will be calling and making some orders soon, looking forward to talking. Gary Arnold

So glad you are back in business and we do understand your situation. A large percentage of what I know about the pedal steel is from Jeff's instruction which I think is without rival. So glad you are continuing the family legacy. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family as you begin this adventure.
God bless and looking forward to meeting you....clark and lucy

Hello Melissa,
I worked with Jeff and Fran when he was actively performing. I have worked for Peavey Electronics for over 40 years and Jeff and Fran would pass through Meridian, Mississippi on their way to Texas or whatever show was being held in this area.
They were great people that I have missed dearly.

Great news! Jeff probably had as much or more to do with popularizing E9 Pedal Steel as any single person on the planet. I ran all over the central US to his seminars and attended Jeffran College for a week in 1978. Is this great news for the steel guitar community? As Jeff used to say "does a coon have a climbing gear?".

Thanks jerry. This is my 4th day as a forum member so I am sure this isn't the last thing I will miss. I'm glad Melissa is keeping this goin....theres a reason jeff has and is still considered yhe best teacher of PSG. My private instructor uses his methods (which is how he learned 30 +years ago). Best part is you're not just learning runs and licks, but learning how they are applied so you can use them in other songs! Thanks again for the info jerry!

Sure Jim, I'm seeing a lot of enthusiasm from you here. I wish you much luck.
I spent time with Jeff in 1980...best money I ever spent...and further employed his instruction for many years following.
I'm thrilled to know that Melissa is keeping the tradition going and I'm sure things will get to normal for her soon.

As you're probably aware, the embargo for Respawn Entertainment's highly anticipated shooter Titanfall has lifted today and reviews are beginning to pour in. So far, it seems like everyone is really liking it. We are too, but we aren't quite ready to publish our review.
First off, being located on the East coast means we often get games close, or sometimes on, the embargo date. That's been the case with Titanfall, but rest assured, reviewer Lance Liebl is going full-mech-ahead with the game as I write this so it shouldn't be too much longer.
It's worth pointing out that the delay in the game's arrival is somewhat of a blessing for us, especially from a reader standpoint. Titanfall emphasizes online play, and with a heavy dependency on cloud technology it's safer to wait until the game is in the hands of the general masses before rushing to a review. As we learned with rocky launches of SimCity and Battlefield 4 (which just so happen to be two other EA-published titles), the online status of a game's servers can change drastically from pre- to post-release. We're going to wait until Titanfall is officially available to everyone so that we can really test the systems put in place.
If you desperately need some scores to compare, check out our review round-up.

The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., United States
- May. 5, 2008
On April 17, Carrier Corp.'s Residential and Light Commercial Systems (RLCS) North America business unit, presented a Carrier automatic standby generator to the Oklahoma City Indian Clinic on NBC's Today Show.
The Oklahoma City Indian Clinic has served Native Americans in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area for more than 30 years by providing medical, dental, optometry, pharmaceutical and community services.
Being a guest on the Today Show gave Carrier an on-air opportunity to highlight its industry-leading products — and receive national exposure for the Carrier brand. Co-host Al Roker was on hand for the presentation.
The Today Show, officially known as Today, is an American morning news and talk show that airs weekdays on NBC. The show has been the highest-rated morning news and talk show in the United States since the mid-1990s.
Carrier offers a number of automatic home generators, ranging in size from 7kW to 150kW. These generators are capable of providing electric power to a few select circuits or the entire home, restoring power automatically during an outage. Carrier automatic home generators are powered by either natural gas or liquid propane, eliminating the need to refill a gasoline tank, fumble around in the dark for flashlights or haul around a portable generator to restore power.
Power outage facts from the National Weather Service:

text: Hi Everyone, When it comes to copying CD's, I never do a disc to disc copy as you would with a double cassette deck. I only use my burner to make copies of CD's. First, I put the original disc in the burner and go to copy. It copies an image of the whole CD on to the hard drive. When it's done, the tray opens. I take out the original disc and put in the blank one and close the tray. It then copies the info back on to the blank disc. It's a perfect copy with all of the music and data tracks just like the original. I've never had a problem with burning CD's this way. Sure, it takes a little longer, but I've never had a bad copy yet.

Is there a way to check what mail is registered or just backup my contacts and than, I'll do a factory reset ?
NOTE: USB-Debugging is disabled and when I concect the phone to the PC it says Charge Only.
If' there's a way to root it with download mode or turn debuging mode on or backup contacts or find the registered E-Mail, please tell me because I have 1000+ contacts and they're not backed up on Google.
Thanks in advance.
