QUESTION: I have five lead figures that my mother acquired from her grandfather when living in Macedonia around 1950. Her grandfather was born before 1890s, so the figures have to be quite old. Four figures appear to be English soldiers and one a princess dressed in a dress. Some are three-dimensional and others are flat. All are marked "Scholtz" on one side of the base with a number and letters on the other side, e.g., one is marked "sm643". They are all in nearly perfect condition. What information can you provide about the figures and their value?
–AB, Livonia, MI, via e-mail
ANSWER: Berliner Zinnfiguren manufactured your figures. Werner Scholtz (1904-1976) founded the company in 1934—"Werner Scholtz, Fachgeschäft für Historishe Zinnsoldaten (historical tin soldiers)"— and his first shop, was located in Berlin-Charlottenburg. In 1937 the company relocated to Potsdamer Platz in Berlin and was renamed "Werner Scholtz, Herstellung Historischer Zinnfiguren (manufacturer of historical figures)." Bombs destroyed the shop in 1944 and again in 1945. The company was re-established in 1950. In 1968 it moved to its present location in Knesebeckstrasse in Berlin-Charlottenburg. When Werner Scholtz died in 1976, his son Hans-Günther Scholtz assumed control.
The Berliner Zinnfiguren web site notes: "We have designed, developed and produced approximately 1,000 different series of tin figures with themes ranging from prehistoric times to the present." The firm also sells books dealing with military and social history.
I e-mailed the company and learned that "sm643" is still in production and lists as "Prussian Soldier, 1750." Contact the company to identify your other figures.
I did not find a strong secondary American market for Scholtz flat or three-dimensional figures. The three-dimensional figures are worth more than the flats. My best guess is your flats are worth between $2 and $4 each, and the three-dimensional figures between $5 and $7 each.
QUESTION: While out garage sailing, I came across a metal helmet. The owner said he received it from an uncle who was in World War II. I always am skeptical about family stories. The helmet has good patina, and the wear appears right. If it is a reproduction, it is a very good one. At $45 I took a chance. I did an Internet search on Google and found www.toppots.net, a site devoted to the M1 helmet, which is what I believe I have. The site contained an extensive authentication checklist with pictures. The helmet came through with flying colors. It appears to date between 1941 and 1943 and has its liner, interior webbing, and netting. What is its value?
– IA, Toronto, Canada, via e-mail
ANSWER: Question all stories, whether provided by a family member or dealer, when buying an antique or collectible. Make the object prove to you that it is right.
The M1 helmet replaced the M1917A1 Steel helmet in 1942. Two million U.S. M-1 helmets were made during World War II, and another million were made between 1966 and 1967 for the Vietnam War. The M1 helmet was phased out in the 1980s in favor of the PASGT helmet.
The M1 helmet was a one-size-fits-all helmet. It consisted of two parts: (1) the pot or outer steel shell and (2) the liner containing the suspension system that could be adjusted to fit the soldier's head.
Since you found your helmet in Canada, I decided to research the use of the helmet by the Canadian Armed Services. The Canadian Armed Services did not use the American M1 helmet during World War II. However, it was used by the Canadian Army from 1960 to 1997. Are you certain you have the earlier World War II model?
M1 helmets are readily available. World War II examples command a higher price than those from post-World War II and the Vietnam War. Restoration is common, especially among re-enactors.
John Graf, whose blog appears on www.militarytrader.com, earlier this year identified 14 hot militaria collecting trends, one of which was U.S. WWI and WWII painted helmets: "During WWI, steel helmets were issued without any sort of insignia. However, soldiers with too much time—and a bit of paint—created their decorations, often copying the camouflage patterns they saw on German steel helmets. By World War II, helmets were still issued without insignia, however many units specified painting instructions that troops followed. Painted helmets from either war are prime collectibles but again, exercise caution—the prices these helmets fetch provide incentive to unscrupulous modern-day painters." While your helmet does not have a unit or other painted decoration, I wanted readers to be aware of this added value consideration. As more and more WWII veterans are dying, their gear is finding its way into the auction, flea market, and garage sale venues.
You spent your $45 wisely. The secondary market retail value of your helmet as it stands is between $175 and $225.
QUESTION: My basement contains many collector items that are gathering dust. One in particular appears to be a World War I naval semaphore light. A round cylinder with a reflector in the back is attached to a u-shaped cradle that attaches to a rod with a box. When the lid of the box is lifted, there is a signal key. The device contains a metal plate that reads: MANUFACTURED BY / THE/ NATIONAL X-RAY REFLECTOR CO. / CHICAGO, U.S.A. / TYPE B / No. 4533 / CONTRACT NO. E.F.C. / REQ'PD 3995-E/ DATE AUG. 8, 1918. What is it worth?
– DH, Vera Cruz, PA, via e-mail
ANSWER: Augustus Darwin Curtis, born in Hawley, Pa., on October 14, 1865, moved to Chicago in 1900 and shortly thereafter established the Curtis-Leger Fixture Company for which he served as president and treasurer and the National X-Ray Reflector Company for which he served as president.. Arthur J. Morgan was the secretary for both companies. A July 5, 1912, obituary noted: "Mr. Morgan was known in electrical circles through his work during the past four years in connection with commercial and technical development of indirect lighting and show-window lighting."
The National X-Ray Reflector Company became famous for the development of a style of light reflector that promised to create less tired eyes by reducing glare. By 1916 National X-Ray reflectors were touted as producing the highest type of illumination possible. The company provided reflective lighting for a wide variety of lighting uses including banks, buildings (interior and exterior), hospitals, movie theaters, offices, schools, stages, etc.
National X-Ray Reflector Company advertised extensively in "National Geographic." The advertisement in the July 1915 issue notes: "The efficiency of clerks, stenographers, and other employees is increased by Eye Comfort Lighting, which greatly reduces the tendency to headache and nervousness due to improper lighting."
National X-Ray Reflector Company must have received a government contract during World War I to manufacture a ship semaphore. Your semaphore has more curiosity than collector value, albeit it certainly is a conversation piece.
Judging from the photographs that accompanied your e-mail, it has been repainted several times and is missing the front cover. As it stands, its value is between $30 and $40.
QUESTION: I own some early issues of "Family Circle" dating form 1934, 1938, 1939, 1943 and the 1950s and 60s. I bought them because the company for which I worked advertised in them. Several early issues feature covers with images of Robert Montgomery (1934), Carole Lombard (1938), Maureen O'Sullivan (1938), Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. (1939), Margaret Lockwood (1939), Katharine Cornell (1943) and Mickey Rooney (1943). Do they have any value?
– GE, Ephrata, PA, via e-mail
ANSWER: "Family Circle" magazine began as a store-distributed magazine by Piggly Wiggly in 1932 and remained so until 1946. Eventually, it expanded its circulation to the checkout counter areas in other grocery stores. Cowles Magazines and Broadcasting bought "Family Circle" in 1962, selling it to The New York Times Company in 1972. The New York Times Company sold its woman's magazine division to Gruner + Jarh in 1994, who sold "Family Circle" to Meredith Corporation in 2005. The magazine is now one of the famous "seven sisters" at Meredith, the others being "Better Homes and Gardens," "Good Housekeeping," "Ladies' Home Journal," "McCall's," "Redbook" and "Woman's Day."
Value for old copies rests with the cover art and full page, color advertising. Most copies sell in the fifty-cent to one-dollar range. The Carole Lombard cover is worth around $10 and the Mickey Rooney cover around $5. Demand for the other actors' and actresses' magazine covers is minimal. Few under the age of 50 know who Katharine Cornell and Margaret Lockwood were.

Bangai-O HD: Missile Fury is a high definition sequel to Bangai-O. Released for Xbox Live Arcade.
When I was growing up, one of my best friends was a kid named John Carey, who, being an only child with relatively well-off parents, had a brand new Sega Genesis game to show off every few weeks or so. I was lucky enough to live a block from him, so much of my childhood was spent sprawled out on his colorful truck-themed carpet, the other neighborhood kids and I taking turns mashing buttons and complaining as John consistently whupped our asses in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. I played a lot of Sega Genesis in those days and have many fond memories involving those giant black boomerangs we called controllers. But perhaps the most formative of these experiences was the day John rented Gunstar Heroes. If you've never played it, Treasure's Gunstar Heroes is arguably the pinnacle of Genesis... Read Review

The 12 Strays of Christmas: #2 Allen
Mostly, people pass me by. I rub against my cage, and sometimes stick out my paw to get the attention of the moms and dads and kids looking for a cat, but when they see that I'm a senior guy, they move on. I'm really pretty spunky if you take the time to see. I love to talk. The director here at the shelter lets me stay in her office sometimes, and I've shown that I have perfect house manners. I have a little thyroid problem, but I just need a special food and everything's fine. I'd just like a warm little bed, a lap and a bit of conversation – at your house. Come and visit the shelter – and stop when you get to my cage.
The 12 Strays of Christmas are very special residents at the Knox County Humane Society, who have been overlooked at the shelter and have been there far too long. They would all really like to go home for the holidays – and all the upcoming holidays for the rest of their lives! Adoption fees for these pets are only 12.00 for cats, and the fee for dogs has been reduced by 50.00. All animals have been spayed or neutered, are up to date on their shots and have had all medical issues addressed. They are healthy and ready to go! The promotion extends through December 24th. Please drop by for a visit, or call the Humane Society of Knox County at 594-2200, or go to www.hskcME.org. Let's get these boys and girls home for Christmas!

WASHINGTON -- In a big-bucks battle over privacy, the Supreme Court agreed Monday to decide whether states can sell personal information from driver's license records such as people's addresses and Social Security numbers.
The Clinton administration wants the justices to uphold a federal law that closes state motor vehicle records to the public. A lower court ruled in a South Carolina case that Congress usurped states' authority when it enacted the Driver's Privacy Protection Act in 1994.
The law, which took effect in most states in 1997, bars states and their employees from releasing personal information from motor vehicle records, including people's names, addresses, telephone and Social Security numbers and photographs.
The law, however, has been invalidated by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and cannot be enforced in Georgia, Alabama and Florida.
States have routinely sold such information to businesses, charities and political candidates, earning millions of dollars in revenue each year. When the law was enacted, 34 states made motor vehicle records public in some form.
The federal law was enacted in response to the 1989 slaying of actress Rebecca Schaeffer, killed at her California home by a stalker who used a private investigator to obtain her driver's license records.
Justice Department lawyers told the justices the law was prompted by a ''unique concern ... that individuals are effectively forced to advertise the key to their personal information on their license plate when they drive.''
The federal law contains numerous exceptions, allowing personal information to be disclosed to law enforcement officials, courts, governmental agencies, private investigators and sometimes to businesses.
However, there is no exemption for the news media, moving some open-record advocates to contend the law violates the First Amendment's free-press guarantee.
The American Society of Newspaper Editors supported South Carolina's challenge to the federal law. ASNE general counsel Richard Schmidt said Monday that motor vehicle records are ''part of a public record that should be out there. ... We certainly hope that the forces of free flow of information will continue to be open.''
The law also allows states to disclose personal information if they give people a chance to ''opt out'' from such disclosure.
In challenging the law, South Carolina officials relied on recent Supreme Court rulings that have reined in congressional power in the name of states' autonomy.
The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled for the state, saying the law ''is simply not a valid exercise of Congress' ... power'' to regulate interstate commerce and therefore violates the Constitution.
The appeals court blocked the law's enforcement in South Carolina, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia.
The law has been upheld by the 7th and 10th U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals, covering nine states: Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
In seeking Supreme Court review, Justice Department lawyers said the federal government can bar states from disclosing personal information from motor vehicle records just as it bars disclosures of such information by private companies such as credit bureaus and video stores.
South Carolina's lawyers said previous Supreme Court decisions have banned ''the coerced use of state officials to carry out federal policy choices.''
Even if the justices invalidate the federal law, states still could decide they want to continue prohibiting public access to such information.
''States could block access on their own,'' said Jane Kirtley of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. ''Legislatures have been riding the wave of public sentiment regarding privacy. The public has not taken into account the dangers of governmental secrecy.''

LAUREL — The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) has awarded an $11.6 million contract to Tanner Construction of Jones County to reconstruct two miles of roadway on Interstate 59 from Fourth Avenue to Chantilly Street in Jones County.
Work on the interstate reconstruction project is scheduled to begin in the next week and will include clearing and grubbing along the highway, followed by roadway resurfacing. Along with widening the roadway and bridges, crews will be relocating existing lighting and building retaining walls. Once completed, the highway will have six-foot shoulders on the inside and 12-foot shoulders on the outside along the roadway.
Laurel Mayor Melvin Mack said the city looks forward to the installation of the new lighting, which is a part of the project.
The I-59 project is estimated to take about a year to complete.

Trying to eliminate head shots, the NHL might want to take a closer look at the lick Devils forward Dainius Zubrus put on Senators rookie Colin Greening Thursday night at Scotiabank Place.
Cory Clouston did, and he thought the closeline-like hit was borderline illegal.
Im not going to say that it should have been suspendable, or a major or whatever, but that was very close, said Clouston. I didnt realize it (at the time). It was off to the left of our bench during the game and you dont sometimes get a real good view of that, but I watched it (Friday) morning and that was close.
The day after Bostons Zdeno Chara racked up Montreals Max Pacioretty in a controversial collision at Bell Centre, Senators winger Francis Lessard was thrown out of game for a hit on Floridas Scott Timmins that didnt appear to be nearly as bad as the Zubrus shot.
Definitely, the direction that theyre going towards, if theyre going to error on the side of the safety of the players ... (hits like that) are real close, Clouston said.

One night before college football hands out its biggest award, Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck took home some hardware.
Luck won the Maxwell Award as the player of the year, and Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III received the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award. Both are nominees for the Heisman Trophy, which will be awarded Saturday in New York.
Justin Blackmon of Oklahoma State became the second two-time winner of the Biletnikof Award as the nation's outstanding receiver.
Alabama's Trent Richardson, another Heisman finalist, won the Doak Walker Award as the top running back, and Alabama teammate Barrett Jones won the Outland Trophy as the nation's outstanding interior lineman. Texas A&M's Randy Bullock won the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award, and Ryan Allen of Louisiana Tech won the Ray Guy Award as the best punter.
Claiborne, who plays the other corner on LSU's defense, said the Tigers' secondary didn't expect to miss a beat after Peterson moved on to the NFL's Arizona Cardinals.
"Just because we lost a good player doesn't mean another good player can't be born," Claiborne said. "We always looked at (Peterson) like he's the man, and that was a big part of it. We said we've got to get back and get the Thorpe award again. He always put that in our ear."
Top-ranked and undefeated LSU will play Alabama in the BCS national championship game Jan. 9.
"I've put in a lot of hard work and I'm definitely surrounded by a bunch of guys that make me a great player," Mathieu said. "We've put ourselves in position to win a national championship."
He's not so sure he is in a good position to become the first defensive Heisman Trophy winner since Michigan's Charles Woodson in 1997.
"I'm definitely a Heisman long shot, being a defensive player," he said. "At least that's what history says."
Griffin is the seventh quarterback from the Big 12 to win the O'Brien award in the last 11 years.
He was selected over Luck and Houston's Case Keenum, the national passing leader with 392.2 yards per game, 45 touchdown passes and only five interceptions. Griffin (333.2 yards per game, 36 touchdown passes, six interceptions) led Baylor to a 9-3 season and an Alamo Bowl berth.
Blackmon caught 113 passes for 1,336 yards and 15 touchdowns to join Texas Tech's and current San Francisco 49er Michael Crabtree as a two-time Biletnikof winner.

Plenty of sets are condom sets, so again, you are speaking about something you don't understand. Yes, there are some sets that are no condom sets, you don't want to work w/o a condom, don't book w/ those companies. Easy.
they are forced to do things against their will,
That is called rape.
and they make little money compared to what they are promised.

The video Lisa posted actually discusses pornstars such as "sasha grey" being the faces of the industry and are considered "contract girls" but that the majority of the females in porn are part of a revolving door, are essentially used and abused and then kicked to the curb. They are ignorant, taken advantage of and absolutely not good at decision making or they wouldn't have put themselves in that position to begin with. I agree with aspects of Lisa's video and I agree with several comments that it was their decision. The reality is like most things in life (pardon the pun) gray.

A woman can't be a career porn star! Eventually, you transition into

3. directing/casting/etc porn.
4. If you made enough and invested, retire.

This connection is active now and is effective until 16th October 2013. It occurs at 00:01 degrees Virgo
Mars is now in contact with the Royal Persian star, Regulus, one of the most prominent and important stars in the night sky. Regulus known as the "Watcher of the North" sits at the heart of the constellation of Leo the Lion and is very much concerned with success through one's honour and the way you act. With Regulus you must fight the good fight to achieve your aims and if you do so fairly and squarely then riches will follow, but you will face a nemesis who or which will test your resolve. The test here is one of not biting back when you are criticized or someone does something wrong to you. If you carry out any kind of retribution then in time all of what you have achieved will be lost.
Mars is the planet of action and force and you will have to take positive steps right now to proceed in the direction that you wish to go, so it really is time to take the bull by the horns. This is a great time for sports and games and for exerting one's energy. Any action-based activity will be enjoyed and can provide you with fulfilment and enjoyment, especially as this aspect is applying. Once the exact connection is made and Mars moves into Virgo tomorrow, then you can focus on how you do thing and getting things precise and correct rather then putting on a show as Mars in Leo wants to do.
Now I said that there is a nemesis with any connection to Regulus and Mars' nemesis this time around will be in the form of a nasty opposition to Neptune. This aspect saps your strength and your ability to act in an effective manner and it may also be working behind the scenes to thwart your best interests. Neptune will show deception and deceit towards you and will confuse things too and only if you can forgive and forget and not be provoked by what is working against you will you be able to make the very best that Mars conjunct Regulus can offer.
In the US, I feel a game of brinkmanship going on as the financial shutdown grinds through into a third week. Will President Obama keep his cool and not try to take out some kind of revenge of the Republicans who keep delaying and upsetting his desire to set a budget? This is his personal test right now especially with Regulus and Mars connection in his 7th house of one to one relationships and that of open enemies. I think that he will have to keep his dignity to get the agreements that he and the US so desire and need. If he does then he can move forward confidently. If he reacts in the wrong manner then great losses may befall him.

Gatland: Hartley made poor judgement
British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland admits that Dylan Hartley had "gone to the edge of the cliff and jumped off" in response to his 11-week ban for abusing referee Wayne Barnes.
Hartley called Barnes a "f****** cheat" during Northampton's Aviva Premiership final defeat by Leicester at Twickenham on Saturday and he has been replaced by Ireland's Rory Best in the 37-man squad for the tour of Hong Kong and Australia.
"Dylan's a young man who has made an unfortunate error," said Gatland at Monday's departure press conference in Kensington. "To play the game you have to play on the edge, but unfortunately he's gone to the edge of the cliff and jumped off it. That's the only analogy I can draw."
He added: "I called him yesterday and left a message on his phone. He left a message on my phone today thanking me for the call.
"I was looking forward to working with him and really feel for him. He's made a poor judgement. Hopefully he can put this behind him and move on.
"It's my understanding that he won't be appealing the decision, but that's entirely up to him. He may decide to do that in the next day or so."
Many felt that Best, who has been capped 67 times, should have been selected ahead of Hartley in the original squad announced last month and Gatland agrees that it was a difficult call.
"That decision had been going through my head as well," he said.
"I have no problem admitting that post-selection I had that discussion with myself and said 'Did I make the right call?' Everything that's been written and people saying how unlucky he's been is 100% correct because I had those doubts initially myself.
"When we made the selection, the debate on hooker took by far the longest on and was he really unlucky. As soon as Dylan was ruled out he was the obvious choice, it was not even something we had to talk about."

One of the great things about society is free stuff, all of the free stuff that's out there for anyone to have anytime they want. One of the great free things is TV, it's just out there for anyone to grab right out of the air. For many years that's what I did, my kids were young and they didn't care too much about TV, but as they got older they needed more, and honestly I missed it. I tried a few different antennas with mixed results. Today for review I've got an over the antenna that can be used indoors and outdoors, it's small and from what I've learned it works well.
The box has pictures and information on it as one might expect, it looks nice.
When you open the box you'll find quite a few things. Inside is the antenna, mounting kit, bracket, user manual, stand, coaxial cable and power cable.
The antenna doesn't look like any antenna I've ever seen, or at least not in the traditional sense that one thinks of an antenna. It's very lightweight and it's white plastic basically. The antenna can be used indoors and outdoors.
On the back is a thumbscrew used for the small stand, and then there's a hole for the mounting bracket. On the bottoms is the coaxial connection.
Here's the antenna with the little stand attached, it's just a piece of metal basically.

Before I got FIOS TV I used an antenna to get over the digital TV, it worked fine for me for the most part. I got several channels, the local ones and others, enough for me as I really don't watch much TV. We broke down though and got FIOS TV as it was a good deal and it's a lot of channels and of course the kids like it and enjoy it.
The Antenna I was using was a very large Phillips indoor powered one, and for the most part it worked fine. Here's the PI Indoor/Outdoor Antenna and the Philips compared and as you can see there's a huge difference between them. The Philips also is only an indoor antenna.
Installing and using it indoors is simple, just plug the cables in and you're set. Once you've got it hooked up you'll need to let you TV scan for channels. I did that and got the same amount of channels with the PI antenna as I did with the Phillips, so no better or no worse there. The channels came in nice and clear and I didn't have to fiddle with the telescopic antennas like I did with the Phillips. The channels actually seemed clearer or at least without as much skipping like with the Phillips. The PI Antenna seems much better performance wise than the Phillips does.
I didn't have a pole to mount the antenna to outside, or enough coax cable actually, but I would think it would perform well considering how it performs indoors.
The price is $19 on the PI Manufacturing site which I think is inexpensive for what it can offer, free over the air channels.
So if you're one of those people out there that don't have cable for whatever reason then you'll need something like the PI Digital Indoor, Outdoor Antenna and for under $20 you really can't go wrong I think.
It works well for its small size, I'm impressed that it works just as well, if not better, than the much larger antenna I was using before.
The ability to be used both indoors and out is of course a bonus, but you'll most likely need to buy more cable for an outdoor installation.
+Small and compact
+Includes all hardware for mounting
+Lightweight and seems well made
+Easy installation
-None really

Finished soft modding my Wii 4.0 LU64 today. I have since installed several Homebrew Apps and was ready to play my first backups. I burned 2 discs, both using imgburn and both at 2x speed -- when launching either in NeoGamma I receive "DVD Read Error (559)."
I have seen a lot of posts about "DVD read errors," but I think I'm the first person I've seen experience error 559, and I got it back to back on two separate discs. Anyone have a clue what "559" means, and can point me in the general direction of a possible solution? Me and Google aren't working together very well as a team.

We've pretty much gotten used to the fact that the Wii doesn't get great games pretty often. Actually, we've been spoiled the last few months. You know, what with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Kirby's Return to Dreamland, Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny, Rayman Origins and the forthcoming Fortune Street. I mean, what will we do in January 2012 when no Wii games are being released. The answer is simple – we'll catch up on our backlogs and wait for Rhythm Heaven Fever.
Because in January, we'll always know that Rhythm Heaven Fever is only a month away. Nintendo told us so. Let's just pretend the company's track record about release dates doesn't exist and ignore the fact that Rhythm Heaven Fever only has a February 2012 release window and not an actual date. As far as we know, we could spend Valentine's Day with someone we love, playing rhythm-based mini-games together. And that would be like the best Valentine's Day ever.
Like other Rhythm Heaven games, Rhythm Heaven Fever is a mini-game collection with simplistic and stylish graphics and deceptively simple controls. You typically need to press only one button or make only one gesture in each level to pass. The trick is, you need to do it with precise timing to pass. The series is huge in Japan, but it's only just starting to find love here.
When Rhythm Heaven Fever does come out, prepare to pay the premium Wii price for it. That is, $49.99. Of course, what do you expect? It's an actual Nintendo game. The only Wii games that come in under that threshold are third party titles.

Album Rating: 2.5good review... but i would say that this is more of a 3.5 or a 4.
Album Rating: 4.0Great album, but not a classic.
Nice review mate.
Album Rating: 5.0Good review. I wish you put some more detail on some of the songs, but it's a good review nonetheless. I like almost every song on this hard rocking album. I actually like "Six Shooter", because it shows what Queens of the Stone Age think about all of the other hard rock/nu-metal bands out there. The only flaws of this album are "Gonna Leave You" and "Do It Again", simply because they're both very repetitive compared to the rest of the songs. Out of those two tracks though, "Do It Again" gets the upper hand for just making you wanna rock out.
EDIT: I'm also glad you put Dean Ween in the band line-up. When it comes to the special guests on Songs For the Deaf, the only one the majority of people who have this album have payed attention to was Dave Grohl.This Message Edited On 02.06.06
sorry dude but i disagree on six shooter. i thought it was in its own way excellent and nick oliveri may have been annoying, but look at how appalling lullabies to paralyze is. He at least gave them an edge and it may not be best shown in sixshooter but without his edge the band are like some kind of cowboy radiohead (not good).
Album Rating: 3.0over the years and through the woods is pretty good, and ltb isnt that bad--it gets better every time you hear it. I thought it was fucking terrible the first time I heard it though
And six shooters good, a thousand times better than many of the other songs on this.
Album Rating: 4.0I like Six Shooter. This album is really really cool.
Giving this a five is total insanity.
Album Rating: 3.5great album
great review
but giving it a five is very overrated
There performance with NIN was supposedly horrendous and I don't like this CD very much.
Album Rating: 4.5To be totally honest, this is one of a small handful of post-2000 releases that I can agree with giving 5 stars to.
Album Rating: 4.5I don't know guys, this album was REALLY good. I think it's EASILY 4+, a breakthrough album of this millenium
Album Rating: 5.0This album probably has more impact in this decade than both Hybrid Theory from Linkin Park and Toxicity from System of a Down. It's that strong an album.
It may have been a better record, but the other two were more popular, if unfortuneately.
Album Rating: 5.0Nah, I think all three had equal popularity here. Songs For the Deaf seemed like the band's highest peak once Lullabies To Paralyze came out.This Message Edited On 02.06.06
Album Rating: 4.0
Album Rating: 3.0This is a decent album, but nothing superb.
I just can't really get into the music, or maybe I can get into it but nothing has caught my attention and really stands out.
Solid tbt review. A few times you said things were "awesome" with a vague description but things were detailed for the most part.
Album Rating: 5.0Maybe a 5 is overated but dont forget I reviewed it as a musician as well and the attention to detail in this album is incredible
Album Rating: 3.0Reviewing something as a musician is stupid.they could talented musicians but make crap music.
I've heard some places that the "low light" of this album is Dave Grohl. I gotta say, he really blew me away. Some of the weird rhythms and fills he comes up with are sick. When i'm drumming along with him in the car, I can hardly keep up! Decent review dude. Dont agree with your song ratings, but good job nonetheless.
Go WIth the Flow is the best QOTSA song that or No one knows and thy are both on the same album.....now that says alot about the album
Bands: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

ISLAMABAD: So you've woken up on the wrong side of the bed and the world is coming to an end. Okay maybe having no electricity is nothing new but a flat tyre totally is, especially when you were headed to that important meeting. The coffee has no punch. The hair dryer is full of — surprise, surprise — shaving cream. You look in the rear-view mirror and your cat stares back, with her four newborns. What a start.
Your phone bleats. It's your best friend, "Guess what! I'm engaged to <insert industrialist surname>." What better reminder of your seemingly perpetual singlehood? You manage a small "Congratulations girl, just make sure the bloke isn't making a fool out of you." A what? It's April Fools'! Nature sure has a sense of humour.
On Sunday, residents of the twin cities lived up to the snarky reputation of the vain cock Chauntecleer, who was tricked by a fox (Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, 1932).
As more exaggeration ensued, many undergraduates of Bahria University were at the helm of troubling and confusing incidents — only to smack their foreheads in awe or relief later.
"So we're having our midterms and someone posted on the course Facebook page that only two chapters are included. Maybe it's not too late to make up for a weekend spent studying for some," said Maha Usman, a Social Sciences student with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.
Akram Rehman, another student, got a call from his friend in Gilgit. "I searched the whole market for him only to be the butt of a joke I never thought I'd fall for," he said.
A group of boys at the university dared a boy to fake a confession. So as he follows through, the girl exclaims, "I love you too!" Only to be smacked by the mantra of the day. Talk about the poignant-tale of lonely-hearts club.
Sadaf Fayyaz, a local TV anchor, said, "A friend calls me up saying another friend had an accident and is in critical condition in the ICU. Hurry before it's too late." Later she was to realise her gullible instincts.
Rabia Kazmi, a student of Media Sciences at SZABIST, commented, "I was informed by a friend that martial law had been imposed. I spent quite a few minutes in frenzy, googling and texting people to see what's up, before the prankster had mercy on me and said he was just kidding."
Finally, the 'Tribune office was in on the jokes.
A reporter sent a text to his chief reporter, knowing he might be in the office, saying "(A religious political figure) died after suffering heart attack." The chief reporter wasted no time and started surfing TV channels for an update, before a colleague reminded him that it must be an April Fools' joke.
At this point, the chief reporter decided to do one better, and asked the prankster to provide a beeper to the TV channel, which threw the prankster completely off-guard. Talk about backfires!

Condominium Forms - HOA & Condo Associations, Owners
Rights of a Condominium Association, HOA, and Unit Owners
A condominium or condo is a type of housing where a portion of an apartment or house is separately owned by individuals and rights over common facilities like elevators, walkways, and heaters are shared. The condominium homeowners association jointly has ownership of the entire land and has control over common utilities. The land where the building or apartment stands is jointly owned and is common land. Thus, within a single condominium, several units are contained, and they are owned and used separately with common equipment (heater system, etc.), common facilities (backyard, etc.), and common land (place where the entire building stands).
In order to establish a condominium, you have to record a master deed executed and accepted by all owners or lessees before the county recording officer of the county where the building of condominium is located. A master deed should have the following information:
- A statement formally submitting the land to the purview of the condominium act.
- Legal description of land that is being submitted to the purview of the condominium act.
- A name for the condominium that includes the word "condominium" or followed by "a condominium" (for example: "Divine Retreat Condominium" or "Divine Retreat-a condominium")
- Description of the plan of the condominium property.
- Identification of common as well as limited common elements (limited common elements are common elements that are enjoyed by some, but not all the unit holders.)
- Identification of each unit by a name or number.
- Description of proportionate and undivided interest in the common elements and limited common elements of each unit.
- Description of unit-holders' voting rights.
- Bylaws that will govern the activities of the building.
- Details of the condominium association like name and nature, whether incorporated or not, etc.
- Method of amending the master deed.
- Description regarding how common expenses shall be paid for by the different unit members and how common surplus will be owned.
- Description regarding any covenants and restrictions over unit holders' rights (for example if there is a prohibition against leasing for commercial purposes, etc.)
As a purchaser, you must understand that a condominium association and developer are not one. Initially, it may seem that the developer is also the association. Conflicts may arise at a later stage when the rights mentioned in your agreement for sale with the developer fail to be included in the condominium declaration that details rights of unit holders. Therefore, once you buy a condo, you must make sure the rights granted to you by the developer are included in the declaration of rights issued by the HOA. The condo association mentioned in the master deed acts like a homeowners association and will be responsible for the condominium property and to carry out activities for the common interest of the condominium and its unit holders. The elected association is also responsible to deal with problems arising out of conflicts with neighborhood associations.
Every HOA and condominium will have a declaration of covenants that dictates what unit holders are permitted to do and restricted from doing with the common facilities/areas. A set of conditions, covenants, and rules that govern a condominium is called the CCR. A CCR is a document that governs the rights and duties that a condominium association and unit holders mutually have.
If your condominium is situated by the beach, you might want to operate it as a beach resort. If a condominium building is intended to operate as a resort, laws governing its function are different. The condominium, vacation ownership, timeshare, and resort law stipulates various provisions with regard to the establishment and various regulatory filings that will be applicable to such condos.
More than the location, the acceptability of a condo is determined by the how it is owned and maintained. Therefore, whether you are looking at a condominium for rent or a condominium for sale, make sure you check out the condominium laws of the area, as well as go through the bylaws of the condominium, and confirm that they will provide you with a hassle-free stay.
FHA Condo Loans
You can look at securing a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) condominium loan to finance your purchase. However, the loans are more complicated than other property loans because of the stringent conditions for a condo loan stipulated by the FHA. Therefore, it is always better to go for FHA approved condos. In order to be FHA approved, a condo must satisfy the following basic requirements:
- It must have at least two units.
- It must have hazard liability coverage.
- It must have all applicable insurance.
- It must conform to all requirements of the concerned state law as well as other applicable laws.

PoliceOne Members Qualify for 10% Discount for the New "Survival American Style" Training Seminar
Top Trainers Debut New Program on Nov. 7-8, 2005 in Lafayette, Indiana
Registrations Being Taken Now
PoliceOne members will receive an automatic 10% discount on the tuition fee for the new "Survival American Style" training seminar. The program, produced by prominent officer survival expert Chuck Remsberg, co-creator of the original Street Survival® Seminar, and instructed by top police trainer Gary Klugiewicz, is a dynamic 2-day event, co-sponsored by PoliceOne and the Lafayette PD.
The class debuts November 7-8, 2005 at the Holiday Inn Select in Lafayette, IN.
"Police officers face new and complex challenges on today's streets," says Remsberg, who also authored a best-selling officer survival textbook trilogy that stands as a training cornerstone worldwide.
"In addition to needing quality training on the foundational concepts of officer survival, which we will approach in the in-depth fashion we've become known for, they also need to be trained on issues like responding to active shooter calls, avoiding and surviving vehicular assaults and confronting suicide bombers. The need for thorough, candid training remains as great as ever. Survival American Style is designed to fill that need and keep officers safe."
Regular tuition for the full two-day program is just $195, but PoliceOne members will receive an automatic 10% discount.

[Written as notes to accompany an installation in The Box, a video exhibition space at the Wexner Center for the Arts in June 2009. This was written before I had seen any other components of the Primitive project. The other works in the project only deepen Phantoms of Nabua and, as in much of Apichatpong's work, the abstraction that I discuss below becomes much more than that in relationship to the rest of Primitive. A pdf of these notes is available here.]
Phantoms of Nabua (Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 2009)
Just as Abbas Kiarostami and Hou Hsiao-hsien were the most lauded world cinema directors of the 1990s, Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul will likely be seen as the key figure of the first decade of the 21st century. (The Chinese director Jia Zhang-ke is probably the only competition for the title.) Apichatpong (who often asks to be referred to as "Joe," following the Thai custom of monosyllabic nicknames) is well known within the film community for his four sui generis feature films: Mysterious Object at Noon (2000), Blissfully Yours (2002), Tropical Malady (2004), and Syndromes and a Century (2006). Alongside these landmark films, Apichatpong has been steadily creating a less-frequently discussed body of video installations intended for gallery settings. Few other artists working today have transitioned as successfully between the gallery and the cinema, using the skills required by each context to inform the other. (Steve McQueen being another notable exception.)
Phantoms of Nabua is one component of an expansive, still-developing multimedia project within the overarching title Primitive. All of the various elements of Primitive are built around the exploration of the memory contained within Nabua, a town in northeast Thailand with a tragic history. The largest part of the Primitive project to date is a suite of seven video installations (some containing multiple projections) that premiered at the Haus der Kunst in Munich. In conjunction with that exhibition, Apichatpong also released a short film, A Letter to Uncle Boonmee, and a video for the web, Phantoms of Nabua, which is shown here for the first time as an installation. [Phantoms of Nabua is available for viewing online here.]
Although it is intended for the web, the piece's complexity and detail can't be fully appreciated until it is seen in this way, complete with HD projection and surround sound. It takes some time to discern all the darkness-enshrouded planes of activity that unfold within the video. A florescent street light slightly but steadily illuminates a plain patch of land in the middle of a forest clearing while intense, erratic lightning strikes take place on a small screen sitting within it. Joe's camera studies these forms of artificial light as they faintly register within the overpowering night. A new element is added as shadowy figures of young men (the phantoms of Nabua?) appear against the lightning-struck screen-within-a-screen. These silhouettes become corporeal as another light source arrives in the form of a flaming, whooshing soccer ball that they kick around. Existing as both danger and play, this natural-light-in-an-incongruous-package heads off in an errant direction and the lighting-filled screen slowly goes up in flames. The camera's gaze becomes hypnotized by the beam of light coming from the projector now visible in the screen's absence. Without the screen to "stop" the projection and translate the desired imagery, all that remains is pure light. But it is light made unfamiliar and unable to communicate in its desired method. It is light made primitive.
Anyone familiar with Joe's work has probably figured out that this factual description doesn't convey his ability to make depictions of the ordinary world otherworldly and to concoct a complex fugue of ideas out of a few simple objects and elements. It speaks to his artistry that the work never becomes a reductive statement or experience, but something that is realized and felt differently by each person who encounters it.
