Top Ten Finnish Bands
The Top Ten
HIM is the best band of all time, they should be the all time number one band! The rasnus aren't that great honestly and the guys from HIM especially Ville Hermanni Valo! They rock and should be on top.
HIM are just amazing, The lyrics are like poetry and could stand on their own without the music. The songs are well composed and a lot of love has clearly been put into every song by every member. They are way better then the Rasmus! Simply because they have ville Valo as their singer. They're one of the few bands these days who just create honest music, they play the music they want when they want to and the new album is going to be incredible!
The full package when it comes to music, regardless of where they are from. Their musicality is so precise and tight, they beat any band I have ever seen live. The lyrics are pure poetry, and you can tell these guys LOVE music, which is rare in today's music business. Such a wonderfully talented group of musicians, and so glad to have found their incredible music! - vvgal
Ville never fails when it comes to writing and composing brilliant songs, and we know he always puts his heart in them. We can clearly hear and feel the love that all of HIM music has... Each song has a story behind, it's poetry and Ville eternalized them with his unique voice and the guys with their musical talent. HIM is the best!V 56 Comments
The best band I've ever heard. Tuomas's songs are awe-inspiring and his lyrics are out-of-this-world. Never once has a Nightwish song been shallow. They all have some kind of deeper meaning. I've been listening to Nightwish since I was six years old and my loyalty to them has never once wavered. They are the reason I got hooked on metal. The first song I ever heard was Storytime, and though my father didn't like the band at first, he got me all the songs. He listened to the Poet and the Pendulum and he was completely swept away by the Nightwish tide. I've begun learning piano because of them and writing my own song lyrics somewhat similar to Tuomas's. Nightwish should be number 1 now and forever.
Nightwish is a really good Finish band I like there music a lot and them a lot they are awesome one of my favorite bands of all time I like Anette Olzon great vocalist and Marco Hietala great bassist. (vote here) for a cool Finnish band. Called Nightwish
One of my favorites period. Nightwish has a unique style that does compare to other bands in its genre like Epica or Within Temptation. No matter what vocalist is at the helm, the still have that classic Nightwish feel. If you like classic Beethoven or are trying to get into heavy metal, then I recommend this band. New album will be released on March of 2015
Truly awesome in every way. Superb live! Their Lyrics are poetry blood in my veins and I feel so full of life when listening to them. Great when I'm out running early in the morning with the early dawn sun and sky out in the countryside.V 31 Comments
I'm Julia from Ukraine, and I think that The Rasmus is melodic, not too funny, but vital music, reflecting the depth of feelings which indescribable in words and awakens the senses. This music can make my mood. Thanks guys for the fact that their selves and their music are in my life!
My name is Marina and I am from Greece. I love The Rasmus. They are so much better than HIM. They are the best! When I saw Lauri I fell in love and I listen their songs every time. I love them and I think that I am the most fanatic fan!
Hei. I have been a The Rasmus fan since 2004 and have graduated to helping run a couple of their fan sites in the UK.
Here, the band really need your votes. Since their Black Roses tour in 2009, we have had to import their music from Finland. Expensive! We can't live without it! These guys really deserve better. Come on guys, get voting please!
Time to Burn street team, from Yorkshire and Cornwall UK
(yes we are 2 Rasmus fans running our site from opposite ends of the country! )
Rasmus melody is same like malay or malaysian melody but converted to english. Contained soul, lyrics matched the song, cool effect that influenced your heart and mind. the darkness song feel straight into your heartV 52 Comments
Both Alexi Laiho and Roope Latvala or two of the most talented guitarists I've ever seen. Best solos I've heard, and I really liked their version of Vivaldi's four seasons (not featured on any of their albums) Follow the Reaper 1st, Hatecrew Deathroll 2nd, Hatebreeder 3rd, and Something Wild 4th are my favorite albums, although their newer stuff isn't bad either. I like the blend of melodeath and blackmetal lyrics.
Children of Bodom is the best band of the world. No band could beat this magnificent Melodic Death Metal band. C.O.B. definitely deserves the number one spot. It is a lot better and much more famous than Nightwish, HIM or The Rasmus. Now who the hell heard about that band? It definitely does not deserve to be trough the top 10. But there are a lot of people in this world who are some fake metal heads.
I am From Nepal and I am a great fan of melodic metal. COB is the best melodic metal band in the world. How come it not be on the top of the list of FINNISH BANDS? I totally disagree with the list. Now who the hell is HIM and The Rasmus. I have heard about Nightwish but it is no even comparable to COB. How on EARTH can this happen? Come on guys lets make cob the number 1.
Great band HIM, Lordi, Sonata Arctica and Nightwish are also great but COB take my voteV 16 Comments
I love HIM and the Rasmus and Children of Bodom, but Apocalyptica is just the best. I usually have to have something to sing along to, but I just love listening to their instrumental tracks. I've heard they're beyond amazing live, too.
The very first Finnish band I ever fell in love with. Now I have expanded my horizons to seek out more talent from Finland. I confess, I prefer their songs with lyrics and vocalizations, as opposed to simply instrumental. I like several other bands on this list, but Apocalyptica takes #1. Those guys can rock cellos.
Awesome band... These guys are different.. They brought the beauty of classical music into metal world I can't understand why some people don't know them... May B because they are all instrumental no vocal but they are hell of a band
They are am amazing I have seen them live and they are epicV 4 Comments
I love the 69 eyes they are the best and even there style of clothes. I just love there songs too it makes my day perfect and it makes sense to me. Have all there albums and they do rock and put as my best ever
Awesome band that definitely doesn't get nearly enough credit. They started off as a glam rock band but eventually turned into a gothic rock band. All of their albums are amazing. Check them out.
Awesome- just awesome... I didn't vote for them because I have a big love for another finnish band.. BUT I HAD TO TELL HOW FANTASTIC THE 69 EYES ARE! Love them sorry for not voting
This band is forever.V 2 Comments
Like a modern day Skid Row. Catchy lyrics and tons of attitude. love emV 1 Comment
Poets of the fall is Awesome. Such a talented band I have never seen in my life. They really create Amazing Songs, Amazing Lyrics. Meaningful and passionate. & Marko's voice can never be challenged.
No other band can achieve this no matter how popular they are.
Most of the bands make music with lyrics, which is what defines their songs. Poets of the Fall on the other hand, are musical in a true sense. According to me, they are the most underrated band in the present time.
Superb band with an amazing array of diverse songs. This is one band which never resorts to stupid lyrics and maintains a musical quality that is simply unparalleled. They never indulge in controversy and maintain a simple look to them. Their latest song Cradled in Love shows their ability to experiment in different genres.
I was introduced to this band through a common friend and oh my god.. it is just perfect for me. Unparalleled lyrics and amazing melodies that remain with you for lifetime. This band is so underrated. I wish all the success for them. Love from India.V 65 Comments
The music is incredible, sound is just amazing
GREAT band, top 5. Sure, songs are not better than the other top 5 bands currently there, but the BAND is...
A good mix of styles and compositions
Tomi makes them sound catchier. Love this Band.V 3 Comments
Best folk metal band ever!
Definitely need to be further up on the list
The Contenders
They should easily be in first place; They tell about life and how it is, and don't sing about love and love lost (like HIM does - ALL of their songs are about love, or a woman. Not good. ). They write stories into their songs, and Tony uses his voice to sing/tell them in such a way, that you just can't help but to listen to more and more of their songs.
This is the greatest band ever. They made me a fan after hearing just one song, and I've ben hooked since. I have never heard a song by them that I haven't loved. Sonata Arctica is a truly awesome band that deserves to be known world-wide, and not just by a select few people.
Personally, I find their music to have a lot of emotions and heart to it. If you're new to Sonata Arctica, I can tell you that their music is varied and unique and very poetic, that being said. The voice of the vocalist is amazing, specially when he sings in chorus like "Queen"(band). Just amazing.
I like their diverse style!V 10 Comments
This band is amazing because the have imagination the don't just make one band the have one character and one new stage name in this band and they won eurovision because vote for them all he aggrieved of hard rock and heavy metal music no only pop
Hell, yeah, the costumes remind me of GWAR though
Lordi in my opinion is the best band in Europe. Their songs, their performances, their costumes... LORDI RULES GO LORDI. How can a band be that great by playing in costumes, only lordi can be that gr
Lordi is just pure awesomeness... The most underrated band in the world.V 12 Comments
In terms of overall quality of musicianship, and classic rock in the pure class category, this band are one of the greatest, and deserve to be much bigger than they are. Quality in abundance.
they're the best power metal band ever - tolkki
I'm from Finland, and I think that stratovarius is one of the best bands which comes from here. I also like sonata arctica, HIM and Nightwish exemple, but stratovarius should be ranked higher what its now. So energy band.
This band is full of energy.V 3 Comments
It's sad that they never got really big! I myself am 17 years old from Finland and I just learned about them. Their songs are masterpieces. I especially like "don't you ever leave me" and "tragedy"... They would have deserved the success they never got.
Someone else has previously said it, the best kept secret in rock n roll. Quite simply they are legends and so influential but not many people know about them. One of my all time favourite bands and I beg for anyone who reads this to start listening to them! Such a great band that never got the recognition they deserved.
Love them or loathe them, I find it difficult to imagine that there's been a more influential band ever came out of Finland.
Its unbelivable how influential this band that barely anyone has heard of has been to music; guns n' roses, motley crue...V 1 Comment
Why is this not in top10 they are so melodic yet so heavy and their music is just beautiful. I never listened extreme metal before but Ensiferum brought me to it the best way it could
Ensiferum forever! They're the best viking metal band in the whole world, TWILIGHT TAVERN!
Melodic tunes that are really engaging and addicting. Ensiferum rules!
Ensiferum rules, it should be in top 10.V 1 Comment
wtf! that should be no.3. who the hell put this ten? man just listen the last one for life then vote. and bodom should be first. then nytwish then eternel tears of sorrow
Just listen to the seventh eclipse. It will blow you away and you will vote this band up to 3 behind COB and nightwishV 1 Comment

Ween 05/30/10
The Wilma Theatre – Missoula, MT
Words/Photos by TheNaturalStoner
Personally I had a lot of inner hype built up upon entering The Wilma Theatre to see Ween perform in Missoula, Montana. The show, long sold out, proved to be a hard ticket to find. After trading my Sasquatch Festival tickets for two Ween Wilma tickets, I was very much looking forward to some fun Weenness out in Big Sky Country. The band, city and venue did not disappoint.
The Wilma Theatre is an old 1920's Historic Landmark Theatre in downtown Missoula. We entered the venue about 7:15 only to find lax security and easy to find drinks. Two posters and a trip back to the car later, we still managed to score "2nd row" seats behind the front pit. I had been told that this row was a great place to be, so row 2 it was. About 8:25 or so Ween took the stage to an extremely loud and rowdy (surely fueled by the easily accessible full bar in the lobby) crowd.
We had tried to predict the opener a few times over the weekend and Don't Shit Where You Eat came up somewhere in the conversation, so that as the opener was a nice start. After that somewhat mellow intro it seemed like the band decided they wanted to rock out hard. This ended up not being a show for many Ween ballads.
Don't Get 2 Close (2 My Fantasy) and Transdermal Celebration kept the crowd enthused and the energy strong. This show was in a small, 1,000 seat venue and it was LOUD in there. With My Own Bare Hands, Voodoo Lady, Did You See Me? and Buckingham Green brought the place to a raucous level, with plenty of party favors being passed around from fan to fan. There were no camera or security hassles that I saw all night.
Your Party into Let's Dance changed the vibe a bit, more of a fun dance along theme. Let's Dance was a great cover, sung well (I thought the Gener looked great!) and got my feet moving. This continued for several more songs throughout the set (Touch My Tooter, Powder Blue, Ocean Man, The Mollusk, etc.) before Awesome Sound rocked the Wilmas face off. Baby Bitch and Spinal Meningitis provided a more standard feeling close to the set, with the Gener dropping his microphone during Baby Bitch creating an amusing audience sing along.
The encore of this show is proving to be my favorite part of the night. Fiesta started the encore off with a fun bang, leading into a somewhat Black Sabbath-esque "new" song with Gene singing what I believe is "Bison Burger" repeatedly. There isn't a lot of information about this song available, but one online fan believes this was written that day or on the spot based on the many Bison Burger places in Montana. Hopefully we find out if that is accurate or not. Dean ended up blowing his amp and mic for a minute or so two during this song, but continued playing on seeming not to notice. A minute later the amp comes back and they finish it out.
Claude (who looked to be having issues with his drum kit) called out for You Fucked Up next and this was my favorite song of the night. They rocked this super hard and set up a fun finale in Fluffy. This featured a rowdy extended jam with seemingly the entire venue filling with smoke blowing from the stage. The band walked off and the venue exploded with cheers.
I didn't get many of the songs I was "chasing" at this show, but that didn't end up mattering one bit, as most everything played was good. A fun night was had by all, even through a long wait for a never coming 2nd encore was a blue-ball twist at the end. The house lights did not come up for a LONG time after the band left the stage, leading to a venue full of groans.
Following the show we decided to hit up a local bar and end up running into Claude and Dean drinking at our first stop. The Deaner had a hard time getting a drink ordered but ended up getting a Heineken and shot of Jameson right next to me. Eventually later in the night this lead to the prophetic statement "The Deaner doesn't want to go to the Gorge, he just wants another drink!"
Missoula is a fun town and I hope I get to come back and have good times like this again.

RICHMOND, Va. --- Denny Hamlin, in desperate need of a victory, had no issues with settling for second behind teammate Kyle Busch at Richmond International Raceway.
Why not? The start of the season has been so bad for Hamlin, an eight-race winner last season and the runner-up to Jimmie Johnson in the final points standings, that coming in second was a huge step for the slumping driver.
His finish at his home track was his best this season, his first top-five finish and only his second time in the top 10 in nine races.
"I'm ecstatic, to be honest with you," he said after Saturday night's race. "You can't be mad at second place. Yeah, I want to win, trust me. It burns that you didn't win. But how we didn't win I can live with."
Hamlin didn't win because he'd shared so much information over the years in Joe Gibbs Racing debriefs that it had helped Busch improve at Richmond. Busch's victory Saturday night was his third in a row in Richmond's spring race.
There's a hope that in coming close to grabbing his first win of the season, Hamlin might have snapped out of the slump he's been in since losing his first Sprint Cup title in last year's finale. The 15-point lead he took into the final race was swallowed up by Johnson, who ended up winning his fifth consecutive title by 39 points over Hamlin.
The loss sent Hamlin into a funk he carried through the offseason, and he vowed to break out of it before the new season began. Though his mood improved, his performance was way off.
Most glaring was a 12th-place finish at Martinsville, where he had won three consecutive races, and a 15th-place finish at Texas, where he won both of last season's races. It led to an erroneous report last week that a crew swap between Hamlin and Joey Logano was "imminent," something everyone at JGR strongly rebuked. Hamlin has stood by crew chief Mike Ford, and JGR management believes strongly that Ford is the best man for Hamlin.
"I think they have faith in each other," said team president J.D. Gibbs, who acknowledged the slow start to the season had worn on the No. 11 team. "We've been through it with all of our drivers over the years. So I think to have a good run at a place where you should run well, I think that was encouraging. I think overall that gives them a little momentum."
Hamlin had a very strong weekend, winning his charity race at RIR on Thursday night, then picking up the win in the Nationwide Series race on Friday night. Next up is Saturday night's race at Darlington Raceway, where Hamlin won last season.
"Usually it's about five, six races before we kind of get going," Hamlin said. "Maybe it's just this year ... maybe it's taken us a few extra races. Hopefully this is the point in which we turn it around."

Can Windows 8 Put Microsoft on the Mobile Map?
Now that Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) Windows 8 has officially launched, the company's being proactive about getting developers on board to fix one of the operating system's biggest drawbacks: Its lack of apps.
As CEO, Steve Ballmer, says, "With the work we have done with Nokia, HTC, Samsung and others, I think really there is now an opportunity to create a strong third participant in the smartphone market… There's a lot of work to do… to get applications built. And that means a lot of opportunity for people in the room today… We're still relatively small, but I would tell you that the level of innovation… is absolutely unbelievable, and I expect the volume on Windows Phone to really ramp quickly."
Have you tried Windows 8 yet? If so, do you think it has the potential to make Microsoft a solid competitor in the mobile space? Let us know in the comments below.

We'll normally I would say yes to microsoft, but right now their innovation brains have puttered.
Now was the time to produce the 3D modeling software projections. I say was. What would have been cool is setting down your cell and talking to the software projections. I see their not motivated yet.

Elkins – The touring Family Diversity Projects Exhibit, "Of Many Colors: Portraits of Multiracial Families" will open at Davis and Elkins College Monday and remain on public display through Feb. 15.
Created by photographer Gigi Kaeser and writer Peggy Gillespie, of Amherst, Mass., the ambitious, award-winning photograph-text exhibit spotlights and celebrates the ever-growing diversity of the American Family.
Davis & Elkins College Associate Professor of Education Erin Brumbaugh organized D&E's display of the exhibit, which will be open during regular library hours.
The Of Many Colors exhibit has visited universities, public K-12 schools, houses of worship, community centers, galleries, museums and conferences since 1994. It tells the stories of 20 families who have bridged the racial divide through interracial relationships or adoption. In a world where race is considered by many to be a formidable barrier between people, the families in this exhibit are celebrated as 20th century pioneers willing to risk disapproval and misunderstanding to find richness and value in diversity, according to a news release. These families have much to say about the most intimate form of integration: family love.
Of Many Colors is designed to further discussion among educators, diversity groups, human resources professionals, parents, students, religious leaders, librarians and people interested in bringing issues of diversity to their community.
The book, Of Many Colors, has also been published by the University of Massachusetts Press and includes a forward by Teaching Tolerance magazine editor Glenda Valentine. The book is available in paperback and hardbound editions and includes complete text and photographs of more than 20 families along with a comprehensive diversity resource guide.
Additional resources, including images, interviews and other information about the Of Many Colors exhibit and book are available online at www.familydiv.org.

Louisville's Kevin Ware Gets Back to Dunking
Less than six months after breaking his right leg, an injury gruesome enough to rivet a rubbernecking nation, Louisville basketball player Kevin Ware (pictured) is already dunking again.
A video shot by a teammate and posted to Instagram this week shows Ware taking off on both feet and throwing down with two hands. "I'm back," the 20-year-old junior says after the flush.
Ware suffered a compound fracture of his tibia and fibula during the Cardinals' rout of Duke in the NCAA tournament on March 31, which clinched a Final Four berth. Many feared the grisly injury would end his career. But as Ware's teammates rebounded from his absence to win the national championship, the 6-foot-2 reserve guard underwent surgery and began his rehabilitation process. An X-ray last week showed positive signs, a Louisville spokesman said.
Ware is now riding a stationary bike, shooting free throws and, apparently, dunking. He is expected to begin full basketball activity in mid-October.
Louisville, which likely will start the season ranked in the top five, opens its regular season on Nov. 9 against the College of Charleston.

Ken Norton, Former Heavyweight King, Dies
Ken Norton, the heavyweight champion who derailed Muhammad Ali's comeback in 1973 and later lost two split decisions to Ali, died Wednesday at age 70.
An unheralded fighter when they met in 1973, Norton broke Ali's jaw in an early round and won the North American Boxing Federation heavyweight title on a decision. Later, he had famed bouts with Jimmy Young and Larry Holmes, and was named WBC champion in 1977 when Leon Spinks declined to defend his title. He retired in 1981 with a record of 42-7-1.
Norton, who had been undergoing rehabilitation after suffering a stroke last year, took up boxing while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. He also had a brief acting career, appearing in the 1975 thriller "Mandingo."
—Stephen Miller
Colts Add Richardson
The Cleveland Browns traded last year's No. 3 overall pick, running back Trent Richardson, to the Indianapolis Colts for a first-round pick. Richardson rushed for 950 yards last season and had 105 yards so far this season for the Browns. The Colts' were looking to boost their running game after running back Vick Ballard was ruled out for the season with an ACL injury.

This is the 2nd one I've bought and I'd happily buy more! The vetbed is fab and my destructive dog jack russell cross took over a year to chew a hole into it...unlike other bedding I've previously bought for her that she's managed to destroy within a day.

My kitten really liked this product (originally purchased for getting her from breeder to new home in a carrier). However upon coming home, she liked the vet bed so much, keeps sleeping on it every day. I hid it under a cosy shelf too so she likes to take a nap there. Pleasant material and kept the heat well when we travelled. Recommend!!!

I have an oval vetbed, it machine washes easily, and dries very quickly. It is totally indestructable it would seem as well, which is an added bonus with a younger pup!

Not as big as I anticipated or as thick. The material is soft but not very durable after my cats had used it several times. Not very good for long term use.

Cameron Hunt had a scary moment Saturday night when he experienced cramps throughout his lower extremities and he was taken to the hospital by ambulance but the Corona (Calif.) Centennial offensive tackle is fine.
That was a minor hiccup as Hunt and his team prepares for powerhouse Concord (Calif.) De La Salle in the state bowl championship this weekend.
"I'm fine," Hunt said. "I had some pretty severe cramps and it kind of put me in shock. I had to go to the hospital and I stayed probably for five or six hours there and got some fluids and went home.
Article Continues Below
"I had been cramping up before I fell on the field and they told me to fall so they could work it out really quickly and then by the point where they tried to work out my quad, my hamstring cramped up and then my other quad. They couldn't stretch anything because all my lower extremities cramped up so they had to call the paramedics."
Recruiting is not the main focus for the four-star offensive tackle but it's been busy with new offers from Michigan, Nebraska and Oregon after Cal fired Jeff Tedford earlier this season.
Hunt, who's been committed to the Golden Bears since July, talked with new Cal coach Sonny Dykes on Friday and Monday he is supposed to learn which assistants, if any, are retained.
Hunt has developed a strong relationship with offensive line coach Jim Michalczik and if he stays on staff the Golden Bears still have a great shot with the Corona Centennial standout. If not, there could be issues.
Either way, because of those three major offers that Hunt has landed he's looking at official visits to those schools sometime in January.
"I've been talking to Oregon, Michigan and Nebraska a lot and I think they're really good programs and schools," Hunt said. "I talked to the new Cal coach Friday and he said they're going to meet with all the assistants Monday and that they'll find out who's on staff.
"I'm going to find out who's going to be at Cal and the whole situation. I still plan to take those other visits though."

Atheist Shoe Company Targets Babies With New 'I Believe in Mummy, I Believe in Daddy' Shoe Line
An atheist shoe company from Germany has targeted a new audience by promoting a line of atheist-themed shoes for babies and toddlers. The company, known simply as ATHEIST, made national headlines earlier this year when it accused the U.S. Postal Service of discriminating against its company for being godless.
The company, based in Berlin, created a Kickstarter page to raise money for its new line of atheist-themed baby shoes, hoping to raise £7,000, or roughly $9,636, so it can incorporate the new line into its business model. The company has already raised over half the amount needed to reach its goal.
The Kickstarter page for the baby shoes offers a brief description as to why the small company chose to make a shoe line for infants in the first place: "We're pretty sure all babies are born atheists and, rather than commit them to some religion before they're old enough to have a say [let alone control their pooping functions] we'd rather celebrate their undoubted belief in Mummy, Daddy and breasts."
The baby shoes, which are suitable for infants age zero to 24 months old, will carry a similar design to the company's adult shoe line, with homages to the atheist lifestyle printed on the sole of each shoe. While the adult shoes have messages such as "Ich Bin Atheist" and "Darwin Loves Sole," the baby ones will have messages that read "I believe in mummy," "I believe in daddy" and "I believe in booby."
David, the founder of ATHEIST shoes, says in the video accompanying the Kickstarter campaign that the fundraising platform helped him start the company last year, and therefore it was only natural to turn to Kickstarter again to help raise money for the new baby shoe line. The shoes are made with soft leather and lined with fur on the inside. The company says in its Kickstarter video that it will also make same-sex couple-friendly messages for the baby shoes, and make a select version of the shoe that is vegan friendly.
The ATHEIST shoe company gained national headlines earlier this year when it accused the U.S. Postal Service of discriminating against its company because it used "atheist" themed packaging tape on its parcels. The company claimed to have conducted an experiment in November 2012 in which it sent 178 packages to 89 people in 49 U.S. states on the same day. Two packages, one with atheist tape and one without, were sent to each recipient.
The company claimed that after conducting the experiment, it found on average, atheist-branded packages took three times longer to reach their destination and were 10 times more likely to disappear than packages branded with regular, blank tape. Although the company claimed it would address the issue with the postal service, no news of the government agency's response has been posted.

Intel, ST join forces on phase-change memory
Post a comment
LONDON Intel Corp. and STMicroelectronics NV, two leading chip makers investigating chalcogenide-based phase-change memory as a likely successor to flash as a non-volatile memory have teamed up in their research work on the topic.
Both Intel and ST are researching phase-change memory under separate licensing agreements with Ovonyx Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Energy Conversion Devices Inc.(Rochester Hills, Mich.). Ovonic Unified Memory attempts to exploit a reversible phase change between the amorphous and crystalline states that can be affected in chalcogenide alloys, typically an alloy of antimony telluride and germanium telluride.
However, the two companies are set to present a jointly authored paper at the upcoming VLSI Technology Symposium, which takes place in Honolulu, Hawaii, June 13 to 15.
Engineers from both companies are set to outline a 90-nanometer manufacturing node phase-change memory process based on a chalcogenide material storage element with a vertical PNP bipolar junction transistor as the selector device.
"The small cell area of 12F2, the good electrical results, and the intrinsic reliability demonstrate the viability of the PCM cell concept," according to Intel and ST authors writing in the abstract for the full paper.
Other benefits of the process are programming currents as low as 400-microamps and good distributional data achieved on multi-megabit arrays for set and reset programming, endurance and data retention. The data set demonstrates the suitability of PCM for fabrication of a high density array at 90-nm, the authors claimed.
ST is known to have developed a 128-Mbit large array demonstrator using a 90-nm process and is considering commercial high-volume production of a multigigabit phase change memory at the 45- or 32-nm node (see May 26 story).
ST and Intel already work together commercially in the NOR flash memory domain although they have not shared manufacturing processes or products so far.
The companies said they would provide hardware- and software-compatible NOR flash memory products based on common specifications for inclusion in mobile phones in December 2005. The companies started with 512-Mbit devices manufactured at the 90-nm node and said common subsystem specifications would be extended to 65-nm focusing on single-chip 1-Gbit NOR memory.

Economic Analysis of the Proposed Rule to Prevent Arrival of New Genetic Strains of the Rust Fungus Puccinia psidii in HawaiÔi
Since its first documented introduction to HawaiÔi in 2005, the rust fungus P. psidii has already severely damaged Syzygium jambos (Indian rose apple) trees and the federally endangered Eugenia koolauensis (nioi). Fortunately, the particular strain has yet to cause serious damage to ÔohiÔa, which comprises roughly 80% of the stateÕs native forests and covers 400,000 ha. Although the rust has affected less than 5% of HawaiiÕs Ô?hiÔa trees thus far, the introduction of more virulent strains and the genetic evolution of the current strain are still possible. Since the primary pathway of introduction is Myrtaceae plant material imported from outside the state, potential damage to ÔohiÔa can be minimized by regulating those high-risk imports. We discuss the economic impact on the stateÕs florist, nursery, landscaping, and forest plantation industries of a proposed rule that would ban the import of non-seed Myrtaceae plant material and require a one-year quarantine of seeds. Our analysis suggests that the benefits to the forest plantation industry of a complete ban on non-seed material would likely outweigh the costs to other affected sectors, even without considering the reduction in risk to ÔohiÔa. Incorporating the value of ÔohiÔa protection would further increase the benefit-cost ratio in favor of an import ban.

Do not take your recovering-alcoholic relative to see William Saroyans 1940 Pulitzer Prizewinning drama. Aside from the ensemble pieces meandering plot, it takes place in the universes seemingly most pleasant lowbrow gin joint that also celebrates dipsomania. Wealthy businessman Joe (Robb Derringer) is a fixture at the cheesy San Francisco tavern run by jovial barkeep Nick (Christopher Shaw), who keeps a gimlet eye on the human flotsam that parades through his door. Although were not sure where the well-off Joe has gotten his money, he uses it for sheer pleasure, shelling out chunks of it on toys, chewing gum, champagne, and funds for his sad-faced pal, Tom (Matt McTighe), to woo his golden-hearted prostitute sweetheart, Kitty (Shiva Rose). Director Matt McKenzies colorful and atmospheric production is staged in honor of Saroyans 100th anniversary. The plays awkward mix of the maudlin, the turgid, and rambling bloat has aged poorly. That said, McKenzies crisp and energetic staging is powerful and intermittently moving and the show is blessed with a number of sympathetic performers. Derringer is all charm and optimistic affability as Joe, while Shaw, equal parts best friend and ambivalent Mephistopheles, is the perfect publican. Deft turns are also offered by the supporting cast, a brilliant collection of the kind of weathered-faced souls youd find on Skid Row. Thursdays-Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Sundays, 3 p.m. Starts: March 29. Continues through June 1, 2008

As scams continue, IRS identifies 5 ways to spot suspicious calls
Mukilteo taxpayers, like many across the U.S., continue to be victimized by IRS telephone scams – but there are five easy ways to know when a phone call is a fake.
The Mukilteo Police Department has taken many reports following tax season of phony calls from the IRS.
Victims say they were threatened with arrest, getting their driver's licenses revoked, having their utilities shut off – or worse – if they did not immediately pay a fine or a tax debt of thousands of dollars.
Due to an increase in scam phone calls claiming to be from the IRS, the IRS is providing taxpayers with five easy ways to spot a suspicious phone call.
"The scammers are calling taxpayers and demanding money and/or personal information," said David Tucker II, IRS spokesperson at the Seattle office. "They even threaten pending arrest if their demands aren't met."
The IRS issued a consumer alert on Aug. 29 providing taxpayers with additional tips to protect themselves from telephone scammers calling and pretending to be with the IRS.
The IRS reminds taxpayers that they can know pretty easily when a supposed IRS caller is a fake.
Here are five things the scammers often do but the IRS will not do. Any one of these five things is a tell-tale sign of a scam. The IRS will never:
1.Call you about taxes you owe without first mailing you an official notice.
2. Demand you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe.
3. Require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as prepaid debit card.
4. Ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone.
Threaten to bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested.
"We have formal processes in place for people with tax issues," Tucker said. "The IRS respects taxpayer rights, and these angry, shake-down calls are not how we do business."
If you get a phone call from the phony IRS and a scammer is asking for money, here's what you should do:
If you know you owe taxes or think you might owe, call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. IRS workers can help you with a payment issue.
If you know you don't owe taxes or have no reason to believe that you do, report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1-800-366-4484 or at www.tigta.gov.
If you've been targeted by this scam, also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their "FTC Complaint Assistant" at FTC.gov. Add "IRS Telephone Scam" to your complaint.
Remember, too, the IRS does not use email, text messages or any social media to discuss your personal tax issue.
For more information on reporting tax scams, go to www.irs.gov and type "scam" in the search box.

Welcome to the Linux - Virtualization Forum
This forum is for the discussion of all topics relating to Linux Virtualization. Xen, KVM, OpenVZ, VirtualBox, VMware and all other Linux Virtualization platforms (both Open Source and proprietary) are welcome. Note that questions relating solely to non-Linux OS's should be asked in the General forum.
great, I'm probably going to be a frequent visitor here :)
It'll be tough to manage all virtualization architectures in one forum.
IMHO there should be one for each hypervisor in addition to a general one.
A start
OK, I'll start. I have been using VMWare Workstation on my Linux laptops since version 3. I am currently running the latest release candidate of version 7 on KUbuntu 7.10beta (I like to do beta testing). I also use ESX, ESXi, and GSX.
I work for a VMWare certified reseller and a MS Gold partner, so I have access to lots of software. We built a full virtual lab for testing all kinds of scenarios. It is also useful for demos.
I have used VirtualBox and Virtual PC (on Windows), but found that VMWare is much better. I really haven't had a need to try any of the other hypervisors like Xen or KVM. I am also a student, so I get a pretty fair discount on VMWare and the upgrades for my personal machines.
I monitor this forum through RSS feeds, so I will check periodically for updates and questions.
Please keep in mind that this thread is only for feedback related to the announcement of the addition of a Linux - Virtualization forum here at LQ. Questions about Linux Virtualization should be posted as dedicated threads in this forum. Thanks.
Hi Folks -- as this is the official "Welcome Thread" to the Virt. Forum, I have moved a number of individual discussions & questions off onto their own threads.
Please keep this thread here, general, maybe with such comments about virtualization in general and what you think of this new forum (i.e. feedback specific to this sub-forum.)
If you have a specific question regarding your own virt. platform, please start a new thread of your own. Thanks, and enjoy!
PS - If anyone whose post(s) I have moved, finds that their conversation is now out of context, of otherwise doesn't make sense, and you think we can help, please feel free to ask in-thread, or contact a moderator by clicking the REPORT button.
OK:This sounds like a good idea!
Oracle VM
This is great. I have been working with Oracle VM which is based on Red Hat's implementation of Xen.
So Great, I have OpenVZ on server with Linux Debian, this is power full.
I will try to do my best in order to help you with OpenVZ
Thank you.
My apology to anyone, (especially OralDeckard who inquired about this), who has experienced difficulty locating their posts.
Also, I left the titles of any moved threads pretty much the same as best I could, so if you go to the main "Virtualization Forum" threads listing, you can see all threads right there.
Best Regards,
Great one here...
I'll also be around here enjoying.. :-)
Thanks for whom made it up..
It's really a good forum!!I like it.
hmmm... my first post?
my first post.... ooooo.... i am trying to get back into computers again since i have more or less left them off since i was in high school (class of '76). i did have an amiga 500 in 1990 and tried to do a little with that but... then i did gaming (nintendo) and pretty much left computers alone again until 2000 and a neighbor built one for me. windows 98 and i think a hard drive of 20gigs which i thought i could never fill. don't even remember the ram amount or the speed of the processor but hey... that was ancient history. i have rebuilt my computer a few times myself since then but it still did not make me anything more than a noob. i started playing world of warcraft in september of 2007 and yet getting tired of windows. i tried ubuntu 7.10 in late 2007 i think and although i couldn't get my brain to work well with ubuntu at the beginning i am now starting to understand it a lot more now. i actually stopped using ubuntu for a while since that first try and only recently (last 6 months) got my brain to be compatible with the linux systems. my first try to ubuntu was to get WoW working on a better system but i didn't do so well and that is why i stopped trying ubuntu. i started about 6 months ago with ubuntu again and kept at it and got WoW working. i reinstalled ubuntu quite a few times and each time i learned more and more. so now i want to continue learning. my computer now consists of an asus m3a78-em (which has some driver problems), phenom 9950 2.6 quad core, 8gb kingston, 9800gt nvidia, creative x-fi xtreme music, two 250gb sata western digital hds but i am only using one at the moment (and the rest i figure isn't needed to say yet). oh yeah... i'm running ubuntu 9.04 amd64 now too.
i like what i think virtualization is about but i am confused as to what it actually does and would be interested if someone could explain it to this "beginner" although given much time and i hope to move to expert... wouldn't that be nice =D

ROB SUZUKI: This is Rob Suzuki reporting live from the ground at Capcom Headquarters. At approximately 10:30 this morning a group of rioters chanting, "Death to Capcom. 360 sucks. Sony rules" congregated at this location and torched the Capcom USA building. They are now demanding the scalp of Capcom developer Hideki Kamiya for a ritualistic sacrifice. All this because Capcom announced earlier today that the upcoming sequel in the Devil May Cry series, which Kamiya created but is no longer apart of, is coming to the Xbox 360.
ANCHOR: So Devil May Cry 4 is no longer a PlayStation 3 exclusive for Sony?
ROB SUZUKI: That's right, and these nerds, all of whom are either too fat or too skinny, are mad as hell about it.
ANCHOR: Will the game still be released for the PS3?
ROB SUZUKI: Yes, it will be released for both platforms, that's what's so insane about this. No matter what system you own you will be able to play the game when it is released. That simply isn't enough for these rioters however. Let me see if I can get in close and interview one of them. Sir? Can you put down the torch and answer a few questions for me? Why are you rioting today?
ROB SUZUKI: How does this affect the quality of the game in any way?
ROB SUZUKI: But you will still be able to play the game. But now that it's on multiple systems, Capcom can expand its user base that much more. Why is this such a bad thing?
ROB SUZUKI: Thank you for talking with us. The mob is now passing around a petition urging a boycott of Capcom games. I'm being told that I need to get out of here as the police are sending in officers in riot gear to quell this civil unrest about a video game once and for all. This is Rob Suzuki reporting live from Capcom headquarters in California.
ANCHOR: Thanks Rob. We have more breaking developments to report. Sega is announcing that the long standing PlayStation series Armored Core is heading to the Xbox 360 as well as the PS3. We now go live to Sega of America headquarters to see how Sega fans are handling this loss of exclusivity.
I'm thankful that the internet has a few more weeks of Net Neutrality protection before the inevitable outcome of deregulation comes to pass. I'll see you on Tier Basic, assuming you spring for the Limited Email Plan and your ISP hasn't throttled this domain.

Kalooki Nights
British comic author Jacobson unfolds his mordantly unsettling but hilarious ninth novel in retrospect. Cartoonist Max Glickman has built an uncertain career lampooning his own Judaism, while his relationships have been restricted to "women with diaereses or umlauts" (including ex-wives Chloë and Zoë). His introverted childhood friend, Manny Washinsky, grows up to commit a ghastly crime (also shiksa-related), but in their early adolescence, the two boys get together in an abandoned air raid shelter in 1950s Manchester to work on a comic-book history of Jewish suffering, Five Thousand Years of Bitterness , completed years later by Max. The two meet again after decades, when Manny is released from prison and Max is hired by a TV production company headed by a Nazi sympathizer, in one of many caustic ironies, to develop a film treatment based on Manny's life. Paradoxically, it leads Max to real revelations about their pasts and their identities. The factual horror of the Holocaust is always close to the emotional core of this twisted tour de force—Max's fugue-like expletive-spewing first person reads like a British Zuckerman completely unbound—but Jacobson (The Making of Henry ) tempers the profane with meditations on what it means to be British and Jewish. (Apr.)

Earlier this year, a Fort Rucker, Ala., soldier died when he lost control of his new sport motorcycle in a curve, hit the culvert, was ejected off the bike, and slammed into a light pole. He was wearing a helmet, but had not attended the motorcycle safety course, and did not have a motorcycle endorsement on his license.
Ten minutes prior to his accident, he had been pulled over by a local police officer for traveling 84 mph in a 55 mph zone.
While no one can definitively say why the soldier refused to slow down even after being warned by law enforcement, Army officials believe this accident and hundreds of similar accidents have a common link: soldiers returning to garrison life after extended combat deployments are having difficulty adjusting, and are seeking the adrenaline rush they've grown accustomed to in combat environments.
As of October 2007, 186 soldiers have died in accidents within one year of returning from combat, 168 of them within the first six months after they returned. Sixty percent of the accident fatalities are sergeants or below. The overwhelming majority of the accidents involve high speed, alcohol or both.
In view of this the Army is testing a new program designed to help these soldiers adjust from the high-paced, high-adrenaline combat environment to garrison or "home" life.
Warrior Adventure Quest combines high-adventure outdoor recreation activities such as skydiving, paintball, ropes courses, rock climbing, mountain biking, stock car racing, skiing, and others, with Battlemind training to help soldiers re-adjust to a calmer paced lifestyle.
The high-adventure outdoor recreation activities are a hook to entice soldiers to participate as well as a release mechanism to give them the adrenaline boost they're craving in a safe, controlled environment, officials said.
Battlemind is an Army psychological resiliency-building program that helps soldiers recognize and respond to fear during combat, then mitigate the cumulative effects of a sustained combat environment and become mentally prepared to reintegrate during the redeployment, post-deployment and reset portions of the deployment cycle.
WAQ is centrally funded through the Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command, with oversight from the Installation Management Command and regional MWR recreation managers. The three pilot programs currently taking place are in Vicenza, Italy; Fort Lewis, Wash.; and Leesburg, Va., and involve two active-duty and one reserve brigade combat teams.
Planning is under way to bring the program to an additional 24 Army garrisons over the next year, and the long-term goal is to have every BCT participate in WAQ within 90 days of their redeployment from a combat environment.
Officials will use survey and assessment tools to evaluate the program's effectiveness, including statistics from the Combat Readiness/Safety Center, the Reintegration Unit Risk Inventory, the Unit Behavioral Health Needs Assessment, and a new online survey, the Warrior Adventure Quest User Survey.
Training and Doctrine Command officials said it costs the Army $54,700 to train a basic combat arms soldier, and as much as $67,000 for other military occupational specialties, depending on the length of their advanced individual training.
Since there's no way to put a dollar value on a soldier's life, determining a return on investment for this project is difficult. However, the average cost per person to participate in WAQ is only $86 — less than it costs to fill the fuel tank of a Humvee.
The Army plans to cycle nearly 80,000 soldiers through WAQ over the next year, at a cost of just under $7 million. If it cuts the fatality rate in half, it will have paid for itself, officials said, and if it saves just one soldier's life, it will be worth the effort.

A casual browse of most newsagents suggests that most magazines are around the 35 mark and the 'high quality' (well in look / feel, can't comment about content) seem to be £8 upwards. So, A nice quality copy of Singletrack at £7 would appear comparatively good value in the market. Anyway, as a long time subscriber it's not something I'm worried about!
Bike Forum
Issue 72 - Relaunch - NOW IN MAGARCHIVE
New subscriber here. Hadn't bought the mag in a shop in ages, but suddenly felt motivated to subscribe once I read about the changes and the rationale behind them.
To be honest it's worth the money just for access to all the digital back-issues. And if £40 up front helps a little to keep the magazine in business and people in jobs then it's well worth it irregardless of the quality of the mag.
In the last year I have seen beers that I regularly drink in regular pubs go up from £2.40 a pint to £2.70, some I drink in other regular haunts are £2.90 now, sometimes £3.00 and more.
While this argument won't persuade the nay sayers have a look where you do spend your money. I did an exercise last year with tea bags. For quite a few years I have been buying supermarkets own brand tea bags, though not the cheapest range "to save money". I bought a box of 80 in October 2011 and put a little note in my caddy with the date on. They lasted until early this month. So I was basically saving about a quid over the brand I really wanted in roughly 3 months. 30p a month! That is the amount PER pint I am paying extra in my local since Feb last year. Where can I really save money.
As said this won't convince the nay sayers but for those of you who are on the fence worrying about the new price. Have a think about where else you spend money. The store mag is increasing what £3 per issue so a little under 50p a week? If the new mag lives up to the promise couldn't you really drink one pint less a month to save up for the extra cover charge?
Looking forward to recieving my newly subscribed to magazine through the post. I've been getting singletrack for the past 6 months and it just makes sense to subscribe IMO. The most unique mag out there in regards to mtbing and just the right mix of awe inspring pictures, thought provoking and funny articles and not too much tech and gear reviews but just enough for the geek in me.
Keep up the good work guys.
i subscribed last week, new mag at old price #win
When is it due through my door ???
All things being well around the 13th
Browsing in 'Smiths/ buying off the shelf lets me decide whether that particular issue is of interest to me that month. I'm sorry to say that sometimes some issues just aren't that appealing. I know that by subscribing I can just recycle the issues I don't fancy, but that seems a bit of a waste (especially of fancy thick paper). The cost of subscribing compared to buying at a newsagent probably means I can afford to chuck a third away and still be none the worse off, so why am I bothered? I'm not sure.
What would be really handy would be the ability to subscribe and then pre-select the issues you want each month from the preview put up on STW. You'd pay in advance for 12 issues, but the number of issues remaining available to you would only decrease as you pre-selected. This means you'd only receive those issues that you really want. I suspect this would be a logistical nightmare, technically difficult, and the printers would end up printing the same amount of issues each month regardless, but in my head it makes some kind of sense.
Having said all that, I'm likely to subscribe again (I've lapsed) as its too much of a flipping hassle to find a copy anywhere near me (Corsham, Wilts).
Will there be more than 2 bikes per issue as there seems to have been a trend for more and more lifetsyle, riding, people, clothes, chain was, places at the expense of some good old fashioned bike reviews?
There's always been more than 2 bike reviews in every issue. Typical count is 4. Bike test of three plus a grinder bike review. But Singletrack's focus has never been predominantly review lead.
Perhaps reveiw isn't the right word as it doesn't have to be the standard 'test' of something new as I'm not after What Mountain Bike level of lots of bikes but little substance. There is a limit to how many bikes you can test both physically and within the format of ST. But there are lots of folks out there in STW who are either respected or just get on with riding and enjoy themselves, that for one reason or another ride a particuar bike. As much as I like a bike test it can sometimes feel that journalists are living in a different cycling world to the rest of us.
And when will it be available as digital copy please?
Tuesday for Digital
Probably been answered somewhere but if I get a digi subscription can I have multiple copies of the mag on different gadgets? I have a kindle, an iPod touch and pc/laptop. The kindle doesn't do justice to the excellent photographs but is usefully portable for reading wherever the chance occurs.
You have free access to the mag archive. As many downloads of as many issues as you like
Excellent. Thanks for the swift reply - sub on its way!
Done. Take one off your walk in purchasers and add one to the subscriber list
Great mag by the way.
Welcome to the club
Mark - Resident Grumpy
Tuesday for Digital
Which Tuesday?
This one by the looks
New layout looks good
Didn't want to spoil the arrival of the paper copy so haven't read it in detail.
I was EALLY going to try to not look at the digital copy until I'd got the "real" one. But I failed miserably. I have to admit that I am not a fan of the digital copies though they have their uses. I much prefer a magazine. Still there certainly looks as though there is a lot of content in the new issue. Really want to get my hands on the proper thing though.
My copy has just arrived in the post!
Maybe a question for the management. What electronic formats are going to be supported? I see .pdf and flip in the archive, I'm guessing kindle and epub are on their way? Not everything in the archive is in the same formats, what is the intention for the future?
Is there a summary of the pros and cons of each format anywhere?
ePub is on my desktop now. Just adding the cover image and should be ready in an hour or so. Same for Kindle (.mobi).
Some of our older issues were produced with an older version of the Pageflip software we use. We are working our way back and upgrading them all.
ePub versions work best on Apple devices in iBooks but also other eBook readers for Android phones and tablets.
.Mobi is the Kindle format and works on Kindles and all devices running Kindle app software.
PDF works well on tablets running a PDF reader app. iBooks again is great at viewing PDFs although it still doesn't run Double page Spreads, which is a bugger since we like running images across two pages. There are other PDF reader apps available that display DPS well. iBooks is free though and it also allows you to switch from PDF to ePub very easily as it stores both.
The pageflip version is best used on desktops, laptops etc. It uses Flash so it is not great on Apple devices although it does run a stripped down HTML5 version on Apple devices, but it's not great.
There is a third party App in the App store that delivers a really nice version of the mag. At the moment that's a separate purchase although we are working on integrating that into our existing subscription package via this website. That should be sorted for the next issue.
Thanks. Personally I don't have anything apple for now, or maybe ever. My tablet is a playbook (it was a bargain) and I know there are plenty of others with Android tablets and phones so please don't get too much of an apple bias.
That range of formats is great though, I will select a reader for my niche device.
ePub version is now there.
Kindle version next
and now we have the Kindle version for you
Mine arrived today. Fairly damaged - the cover seems quite susceptible. Nothing major, but lots of surface marks on front and back.
Just had a quick flick through - looks meaty. Plenty of nice photos for inspiration. Still looks like Singletrack. Should be good!
Will download tonight - Any recommendations for best way to use on android tablets? PDF in eBook is good but it sometimes locks up on the big photo pages; (As an aside how come some issues are 40Mb and others 80Mb or more?) Adobe reader manages the photos but is not as nice to browse as it just scrolls top to bottom.
Alex Simon +1
Mine has also arrived quite beat up, old version was much more Royal Mail proof it would seem.
Looking forward to having a read through it to see whats new.
I have just downloaded Issue 72 to Bookman to read on the i Pad. A quick flick through and I am more than happy with the contents, both written and pictorial. However, I am a little disappointed that the e format has not changed. I find it hard to read without constantly zooming in to a page, which then loses the flow of text and pictures.
If e publishing is going to be the future then I recommend a look at some of the more innovative e versions of magazines that are currently around, rather than those that just reproduce their paper mag in a PDF. Can I suggest the ST editorial team take a look at Motorsport magazine. Not for the content, but for the layout. The font is all of a god size and scrolls vertically or horizontally whilst maintaining the masthead for that page or section. Multi page articles also scroll vertically. This allows you to move on quickly if you don't want to read an article there and then without having to flick through the whole piece. Like ST good photography is important and there is the opportunity to zoom in on photographs and lose or gain text. There is even embedded video.
I am not waving the banner for Motorsport here as I am much, much more interested in the content of ST; I can afford a mid-range Cannondale but not a mid-range historic Aston Martin. But, as I say, the ST editorial team may want to take a look for some inspiration as to how to move the magazine onto the next level.
Had a flick through the flippy pages e-version yesterday and it looked ace. Actually seemed much more readable as an online version than I remembered from trying one ages ago.
Paper copy arrived today with no damage. It's currently sat on top of issues 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Agree entirely. Replica mags are not the future of epublishing. You will be glad to hear we are already on it
First flick through and I like it. Cleaner and more considered. Good effort.

*Author of original report: Update on Atlanta Campus (Anthem College)
They cram you in a class where you are expected to become efficient in what your learning in 4 weeks, and give you a test at the end of four weeks on material you don't even know. They sign you up and let anyone and everyone in the school. I know of three students who cannot even read (which God bless them for going back to school - but a lot of good it will do if they cannot read - just goes to show that some counselors/admission rep's will do anything to make numbers - which only sets that student up for failure). There has been at-least three Dean's and three Campus President's since I have been there.
Students come in dressed like they are going to a club. (Even when there are visitors from hospitals here to view the school). Just not a good campus. You will regret going there as I have - and now starting over at another school and lost all that money and credits.
Do your research before going to any school, but beware of Anthem. They changed the name of the school but nothing about it has changed.

Update on Atlanta Campus (Anthem College)
AUTHOR: JS - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, March 02, 2013POSTED: Saturday, March 02, 2013
(1) There is now a new Dean of Education, and a new Campus President.
(2) All of the Surgical technology teachers are now gone, and the program has stopped and no longer accepting new students. The program chair is still there, but for how long we do not know.
(3) Brown Mackie College has also stopped there surgical technology program - this is two schools in the same year that have done away with the ST program????
(4) An actual staff member shared that a teacher was fired for having relations with a student.
(5) When the new campus president came in a entire brand new crew of admissions staff came with him.
(6) If you don't believe do a survey with the students - but over 90% of the student body is unhappy with Financial Aid and the director of FA. She is the rudest person you will ever meet, and they will take weeks to do your file. Refund checks you might as well get ready to wait a long time, and don't call corporate because they will not respond. What happened to Mr. Raymond and can we please bring him back?? He at-least knew what he was doing.
(7) About 5 weeks ago the former Dean, and the program chair for the medical assisting program left the same weekend, and the former Campus President left three days later. When you ask why, no one on staff knows.
(8) You have teachers who are working day and evening and are tired, and not getting paid what they deserve and worn out by the time the evening students get here, and refuse to do Friday labs because the school won't pay them for it (which is awful that when students need extra time in the lab - they can't get it because Anthem won't pay the staff).
(9) The new security guard looks like he just graduated high school, and doesn't do his job because he is to busy trying to get with staff, students, and visitors. He can be seen at anytime walking the hallways on his cell phone or eating a hamburger as he is flirting with students and staff.
(10) The school now does a "student contribution fund" where you are required as a re-entry student or newly enrolled student to contribute anywhere from 50-100 each month towards repaying your student loans. Oh and by the way - if you don't pay you will get emails from the business manager each week reminding you until you do, and get kicked out of the school (for 100, when they are getting 32,000????).
(11) Most of the female staff can be seen in clothes that are suitable to go to the "Tongue and Groove" which is right across from the campus - so if you don't want to learn - the FA Director, and many of the Admissions Rep's are club ready.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Kids Connection Haiti Inc, Washington, DC, USA
I volunteered for KCH for 6 months in 2010-11 when the organization was establishing itself on the ground in Haiti. The work that KCH does for young adults in providing them with education and social support is exceptional, and the way that the organization works is rare. KCH puts almost its entire operating budget towards providing for the young adults in the program, and it exponentially improves the opportunities that these young adults have to succeed. I would fully recommend working with the organization in whatever capacity available.

Wonder Woman tells me that these things are called Kissing Balls. Yesterday, I took this picture of one that is still hanging in our backyard … just before I started shoveling … again.
So far this winter, we've gotten approximately 3,119 inches of snow. Which reminds me: Mother Nature, if you're reading this, I have some balls for you to kiss.
