When Barbara Erkkila was 8 years old, her grandfather, blacksmith and paving cutter Stephen Decatur Jones, told her "Barbara, don't forget the important granite industry."
And as Erkkila honed her skills as a writer and historian, those were words she came to live by. Her opus "Hammers on Stone" chronicled the granite industry on Cape Ann, complemented by her history of Lanesville, "Village at Lane's Cove."
When Barbara Erkkila was 8 years old, her grandfather, blacksmith and paving cutter Stephen Decatur Jones, told her "Barbara, don't forget the important granite industry."
And as Erkkila honed her skills as a writer and historian, those were words she came to live by. Her opus "Hammers on Stone" chronicled the granite industry on Cape Ann, complemented by her history of Lanesville, "Village at Lane's Cove."
"Barbara interviewed retired granite cutters and researched the history of granite quarries around her home," her family wrote in her obituary. "Instead of talking about recipes, she would talk for hours with a group of men about tools, dynamite blasting or steam engines."
As her expertise grew, she shared her knowledge about the workingmen and the tools of their trade with the public. She was on the original committee that worked to preserve the history of the granite industry at Halibut Point State Park, where today visitors can tour the park's quarries and its granite museum. Erkkila also worked with the Sandy Bay Historical Society in Rockport, receiving the Town of Rockport historian's award in 1978.
Later, in 1999, the Gloucester Cultural Commission honored her with the first Walker Hancock award.
Martha Oakes, curator of the Cape Ann Museum in Gloucester, talked about Erkkila's contributions to the museum collections, particularly the gallery devoted to the granite industry.
"In the early 1990s, Barbara began laying the groundwork for donating her extensive collection of granite related tools, photographs, documents, etc. to the Cape Ann Museum," Oakes wrote to the Beacon in an email this week. "In 1994, the collection started to come in, a process that went on through 1997. Every item that Barbara brought to the Museum came with a written description, including provenance and, if the item was a tool, an overview of how it was used in the granite quarrying process."
"Barbara's attention to detail was amazing and her documentation of the collection adds immeasurably to the importance and value of her gift. Knowing who originally owned and used a blacksmith's chest, a pair of safety glasses, a tool box full of hammers and chisels has opened all sorts of doors for the Museum, allowing us to explore in detail the lives and accomplishments of the men who made up Cape Ann's granite industry," said Oakes, noting that Erkkila's generosity sparked others to share their collections as well.
"In the nearly 20 years since Barbara selected the Cape Ann Museum to be the repository for her collection, other donors have followed her example donating additional items to our holdings. Today, the Museum is proud to have one of the strongest collections of this type in New England," she said.
The museum as a whole benefited from Erkkila's involvement. "For many years, Barbara served as an advisor to the Cape Ann Museum's Collections Committee," Oakes said. "With her vast knowledge of all aspects of local history, she was a valuable and much appreciated asset to that group."
Erkkila's family notes that her expertise and interest in granite spread beyond Cape Ann. They said that when engineers repairing the Holland Tunnel in New York needed to match the original granite used, it was Erkkila who was able to direct them to Blood Ledge Quarry in Gloucester.
Erkkila was working on a third book at the time of her death. She had visited Scotland to check out quarries there, and was also researching quarries around New England to preserve their histories as well.
Leslie Bartlett, a fine art photographer whose work focuses on quarries and the colors and textures found on their walls, has been inspired by Erkkila's work, both in his photography and in his writing. He corresponded with Erkkila in recent years and later met with her several times to talk about his own soon-to-be-published book, "BREAK: Stone, Water, Heart: The lives and struggles of Cape Ann Quarry Workers."
Bartlett described his book as an extension and complement to Erkkila's work, building on the groundwork she laid down.
"Like putting a finger in the hole in the dike to stop the loss of water, she plugged the hole in the lost memories of quarrying on Cape Ann," Bartlett said. "In the 1960s, the time of Woodstock, free love and intellectuals, people asked her why waste time talking about what these dead people did with tools? Nobody cares."
"But she persevered," Bartlett said. "Where the stone had been taken out of the ground and a hole had been left, she has filled it with a mountain of memories, tools and artifacts that we all benefit from," Bartlett said. "Barbara became the angel that saved every thing, as much as she could."
He noted that Erkkila's involvement with the industry since her childhood was important to her work.
"She was quite possibly our last living link to being a child in the world of the active Cape Ann quarries, waking up and hearing the quarries working," Bartlett said. Erkkila had told Bartlett how her mother taught her to listen for the whistles from the quarries, and how to tell from the whistles if an injury had happened that was serious enough to call for an ambulance.
"She had quarrying in her every breath and in her livelihood," Bartlett said. "She listened to stone and listened to the tools."
As Bartlett finishes the final chapter of his book, he reflects on how much Erkkila and her work has meant to Cape Ann.
"We've lost a landmark, and it's important to bring out, where there is community, whether social or business, and a significant person dies, well, we've lost the understanding and tradition of what a person's passing once meant. Simply stated," he said, "Lanesville has lost a living landmark."

We report our experience with the treatment of classic exstrophy of the bladder in a small series of seven adult males. There are very few documented cases of adults presenting with exstrophy of bladder in literature.
Adult males presenting with classic exstrophy of the bladder and complete epispadias underwent detailed evaluation including psychological assessment and counseling. All were explained regarding the surgical procedure and informed about the need for self-catheterization. Prior to 2002 all patients underwent cystectomy of the existing bladder plate, with creation of catheterizable modified Mainz pouch. Since 2002 patients were assessed for bladder reconstruction with augmentation ileocystoplasty, bladder neck reconstruction, and abdominal wall closure.
Seven adult males with classic exstrophy of the bladder and complete epispadias who had not received any previous treatment presented to us during the period 1991-2006. Five of these underwent cystectomy with continent pouch and the remaining two underwent bladder reconstruction. All have been doing well with improved self-esteem and social interaction. Two of these have married and leading a satisfactory sexual relationship.
Surgical correction in adults with exstrophy of the bladder greatly improves self-esteem, confidence, and social relationship.
Bladder exstrophy remains one of the most challenging conditions managed by pediatric urologists. Although rare, this disorder imposes significant physical, functional, social, sexual, and psychological burdens on patients and families. The incidence of bladder exstrophy has been estimated as between 1 in 10,000 and 1 in 50,000 live births.[1] However, Nelson et al.[2] reporting on contemporary epidemiology of bladder exstrophy in the United States showed sample results in a weighted national incidence of 2.15 bladder exstrophy cases per 100,000 live births. The male to female ratio of bladder exstrophy derived from multiple series is 2.3:1.[3] Nelson et al.[2] reported that males and females were roughly equally affected by exstrophy. The male to female ratio did not differ by race, insurance status, or region.[2]
Reconstructive management of exstrophy bladder is the best started in the neonatal period with good results. As the defect is obvious and definitive treatment with primary reconstruction being possible in infancy, it is rare to see an adult presenting with exstrophy of bladder.[4] When left untreated, exstrophy has malignant potential.[5] The exact incidence of patients with bladder exstrophy seeking treatment in adulthood is not documented adequately in literature. We report a series of seven patients with bladder exstrophy who were managed for the same in adulthood.
Adults seeking treatment for untreated exstrophy of bladder underwent a complete evaluation of genitourinary tract. Laboratory investigations included renal function tests and complete hemogram. Ultrasonography, Intravenous urography, and plain X-ray of the pelvis were done in all. Multiple random bladder biopsies were taken to look for dysplastic or neoplastic changes. All patients were informed regarding the need for surgery and counseled about the need for self-catheterization.
Prior to 2002, all patients underwent cystectomy and creation of a catheterizable Mainz pouch. The patient was taught self-catheterization and advised to practice the same 2 weeks after the surgery. After 2002, patients having a classical exstrophy were also assessed for surgical correction of bladder exstrophy. On bladder biopsies showing no evidence of dysplastic or neoplastic changes, bladder reconstruction and repair was done in two stages. The first stage included ileocytoplasty to increase the bladder capacity, Young Dees bladder neck reconstruction and a secure abdominal wall closure using flaps. The epispadias was repaired by the modified Cantwell-Ransley method at the second stage 6 months later. All these patients had their drain, suprapubic catheter and urethral stent removed at an appropriate time. The patients were advised self-clean intermittent catheterization.
Postoperatively all patients were followed up with repeated urine examinations, ultrasound examinations, and estimation of serum creatinine. All patients were counseled after surgery regarding body image, sexual function, and vocational training.
During the period July 1991 to July 2006 seven adult males were treated for classic exstrophy of the bladder with complete epispadias. We studied the case records and analyzed the findings. The mean age at presentation was 19 years (17-22 years). The reasons for not having approached for treatment earlier included ignorance and poverty. All the seven patients came from rural background. At presentation five of these patients had attended the school, one had no formal education and one was planning to join the college. The reasons given by these patients for seeking treatment now were that they had become social outcasts. Incontinence and urinary smell had been their main bother. All patients had low self-esteem, poor confidence levels, and poor social relations. All these patients had pressurized their parents and relatives to seek treatment for their condition. All patients had normal mental growth with normal IQ. Performance status in school of the six patients who attended school was good.
Various social organizations, insurance companies, and charitable institutions supported these patients financially. Four patients presenting prior to 2002 underwent cystectomy with creation of catheterizable modified Mainz pouch. Postoperatively all these patients did well. Self-intermittent catheterization of the abdominal stoma was started from the second week. All these patients underwent epispadias repair 6 months later. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. All these four patients have been on follow-up ranging from 6 to 15 years. The patients needed to catheterize once in 4-5 h. The Mainz pouch capacity ranged from 350 to 450 cc. All patients have remained dry during the daytime and only one patient has occasional nighttime urinary leak. The patients have improved in their self-esteem, confidence, and social interaction. Two of these four have been married and have satisfactory erections and sexual relations. The remaining two also have adequate erections.
Since 2002 two patients underwent bladder reconstruction in the first stage which included, augmentation ileocystoplasty, Young Dees bladder neck reconstruction and a secure abdominal wall closure and one patient underwent cystectomy with creation of catheterizable modified Mainz pouch. The patient who underwent cystectomy was the one who had a very small bladder template. All these three patients underwent epispadias repair 6 months later. All these three patients were on clean self-intermittent catheterization. These three patients have similarly improved in their outlook, self-esteem, confidence, and social interaction following surgery. All these three patients have adequate erections. All these three patients are on regular follow-up. The two patientsx who underwent bladder reconstruction had a near normal appearing bladder on cystoscopy a year later. These two patients are on regular follow-up with ultrasonography and urinary examination to monitor the bladder. Interval endoscopic assessment of the bladder has been advised to these patients.
The abdominal wall closure was achieved primarily in all five patients who underwent cystectomy followed by catheterizable Mainz pouch. No flaps were necessary in any of these patients. Two patients who underwent bladder reconstruction, required flaps to secure abdominal wall closure. We have used crossed rectus flaps and rectus sheath flaps for securing abdominal wall closure.
Wound complications occurred specifically in patients with bladder reconstruction which included wound infection and partial wound dehiscence not requiring any active surgical intervention.
All the seven patients are satisfied with the cosmetic results of the procedures. All the seven patients are dry during the daytime; however, only one patient undergoing Mainz pouch reconstruction, complained of occasional wetting in the nighttime. There was no deterioration of renal function seen in any of these patients during follow-up. Only one patient had two episodes of symptomatic urinary tract infection during follow-up. Presently, three of these patients are working in the fields, one is attending college and the remaining three are engaged in small business.
Neonatal total reconstruction of bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex is the treatment of choice. Primary reconstruction is increasingly performed with good results. Adults presenting with exstrophy is very rare, as the obvious deformity with leaking urine cannot go unnoticed and can lead to difficulties due to upper tract dysfunction, difficulty in secure abdominal closure, and malignant potential of the bladder remnant.
Historically, ureterosigmoidostomy was the first form of diversion to be popularized for patients with exstrophy. Although the initial series was associated with multiple metabolic problems, results improved markedly with newer techniques of reimplantation.[4] Ureterosigmoidostomy is favored by some because of the lack of an abdominal stoma. One should be cautious before advising this form of diversion and is certain that anal continence is normal and after the family has been made aware of the potential serious complications, including pyelonephritis, hyperkalemic acidosis, rectal incontinence, ureteral obstruction, and delayed development of malignancy.[6,7]
Matsuda et al.[8] reported a case of a bladder exstrophy in an adult female, treated with cystectomy, construction of a Kock's continent ileal reservoir, and closure of the abdominal fascial defect using alloplastic material. The Kock's ileal reservoir improved the quality of her life not only physically, but also mentally by affording her urinary continence. The Kock's ileal continent reservoir overcomes the problems associated with ureterosigmoidostomy, namely, recurrent infections, pyelonephritis, metabolic and electrolyte disturbances, fecal incontinence, and colonic neoplasia.[7]
Gulati et al.[9] reported management of bladder exstrophy in adulthood. Two adult females presenting with untreated bladder exstrophy underwent cystectomy and modified Mainz pouch. The abdominal wall defect was closed primarily. Both these patients had improved quality of life and renal function. Stein and associates[4,10] treated a group of 128 patients with bladder exstrophy-epispadias with the Mainz technique for ureterosigmoidostomy. D'Elia et al.[11] reported on 26 patients with the exstrophy-epispadias complex who showed excellent continence rates with long-term upper tract preservation when compared with standard ureterosigmoidostomy.
Ozdiler et al. [12] reported a 49-year-old female who presented with exstrophy of bladder. Quattara et al.[13] also reported a 39-year-old male who had presented with exstrophy of bladder.
In our series five patients underwent cystectomy with creation of modified Mainz pouch, four of these underwent this procedure prior to 2002. Due to rarity of these cases, patients were offered cystectomy to remove the bladder plate as well as creation of modified Mainz pouch to render the patient continent. The main concern of these patients at the time of presentation was urinary incontinence, urinary smell, and social ostracism. None of these patients showed any interest regarding management of epispadias component at this time primarily because of ignorance, financial constraint, and the concern for urinary incontinence. However, all five patients showed an interest in epispadias repair once continence was achieved. Second, these patients being in adolescent/young adulthood started appreciating erections and felt the need for sexual relationship/marriage. The two patients who underwent augmentation cystoplasty with bladder neck reconstruction and abdominal wall closure were offered management of epispadias as a staged procedure by us.
Pathak et al.[14] reported the treatment of classic exstrophy of bladder in four adult patients using ileocystoplasty, bladder neck reconstruction, and abdominal wall closure with flaps. Three patients were treated in two stages. The first stage included ileocystoplasty, bladder neck reconstruction, and abdominal wall closure with the use of flaps. The epispadias was repaired in the second stage. In one patient, the reconstruction was completed in a single stage. All patients were continent at the last follow-up visit, with three using self-catheterization and one voiding spontaneously. After surgery, all demonstrated improved social interaction. They concluded that vesical preservation with primary reconstruction of bladder exstrophy in adults was safe and feasible in the absence of significant histologic changes in the bladder mucosa. Pathak et al.[14] believe that although the bladder mucosa will be, inflamed before closure, in the absence of dysplastic changes, it is suitable for bladder neck reconstruction and augmentation and the inflammation subsides with proper closure. Pathak et al.[14] also opined that the patients demonstrated increased self-confidence and improved social interaction as a result of being continent and having a normally placed meatus and a cosmetically improved phallus following surgery.
Gearhart[15] expressed that it was important to save and use bladder template for it had two advantages. First, using bladder template meant taking less bowel and second, if ureteral reimplantation was necessary, the bladder template was a much better substrate for reimplantation than a bowel wall. Though we have not compared the patients undergoing the two different procedures, we feel that the patients get well adjusted psychosexually and psychologically primarily because they become dry in both these procedures.
Bladder exstrophy is very rare in adulthood and presents with urinary incontinence and social stigma. Patients undergoing cystectomy with creation of a continent pouch or bladder reconstruction have improved self-confidence, self-esteem, and social interaction after surgery. Long-term psychosexual and psychologic follow-up in these individuals show that these patients are well adjusted primarily because they are continent and remain dry.

From the moment the sales guy oozed out the front door in his cheap suit, I knew I was in trouble. These people treat everyone like they're the dumbest schmucks in the world! * Overpriced * High Preassure * Nothing but negatives about their competition (the sales MANAGER tried to tell me that the Internet was FULL of information about Toyota recalls... and that Toyota quality has gone down the toilet! LOL!!!) If one word would sum up Miller it would be "[violative content deleted]"! STAY AWAY!!!


text: I have this wall, or two, that I have in mind for my picture ledges. This solution is fantastic. A couple of ledges and wooden boards and brackets. Beautiful wood detail and book spreads on display. I'm inspired. The rest of Rebeccas house is also really nice, masculine with details of wood and texture to bring the warmth in between steal and black walls.

I am a 22 year old female. I've had my period every two weeks for several months. Recently, I noticed that the inside of my vagina seems swollen/thicker. It's hard to say if the thickening is a lump, or just thickening. I went to the gynecologist and she told me to have a transabdominal ultrasound performed. The results came back normal. Is it possible that there's something there, but the ultrasound didn't pick it up? What is this thickening/lumps?

Welcome to ehealthforum,
It is difficult to comment on the exact cause for the vaginal thickening and recurrent bleeding that you describe without examining you. A transvaginal ultrasound can be done or a proper examination done under light to look for any lesions. Other causes like cervix erosion, cervical dysplasia, cervical polyps, vaginal endometriosis etc should also be ruled out. You may consider taking second opinion from another gynecologist.
Take care.

Clearwater, FL – AmeriLife® fully supports the Department of Labor's decision to delay the applicability date of the Fiduciary Rule from April 10, 2017 to June 9, 2017, and to further delay all aspects of the Fiduciary Rule and related exemptions other than the Impartial Conduct Standards until January 1, 2018.
"We believe President Trump raised important issues in his February 3, 2017 directive to the Department of Labor," said AmeriLife CEO Scott R. Perry. "We hope that the Department will take time to fully examine and address the detrimental economic impact of the Fiduciary Rule."
Following June 9, 2017, all agents selling fixed annuities impacted by the Fiduciary Rule will act as fiduciaries of their clients and be subject to Impartial Conduct Standards. In the announcement, the Department summarized the Impartial Conduct Standards to be "providing advice in retirement investors' 'best interest'; charging no more than reasonable compensation; and avoiding misleading statements." Agents failing to meet these standards can be sued as a fiduciary by their clients.
AmeriLife has partnered with best-in-class FinTech SaaS providers to develop and customize a tool to meet the unique needs of our insurance focused agents, brokers and advisors. It's called the AmeriLyzerSM, an online, financial needs and risk assessment tool designed to help agents make compliant sales that are in a client's best interest. The tool documents the sales process in case of future questions or potential litigation.
"June 9th is nearly 60 days away," Perry said. "If you are an agent selling fixed annuities impacted by the Fiduciary Rule, you need to be ready. Not only do you need to act in a client's best interest, but also document why you, as a fiduciary, made the recommendations you made and why those recommendations were in the client's best interest at the point of sale."
AmeriLife is ready to provide our agents with the tools and resources they need to make compliant sales in a post-Fiduciary Rule world. Visit DOLSolutions.com for the latest news and sales tools you need to be successful in a DOL Fiduciary Rule world.
AmeriLife is a national leader in developing, marketing and distributing annuity, life and health insurance solutions to protect the health and retirement needs of Middle America. Leveraging a national distribution network of over 100,000 insurance agents and brokers via nearly 20 marketing organizations, and close to 30 insurance agency locations, AmeriLife, and its more than 75 insurance carrier partners, offers value and quality to the insurance industry and its customers.

Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
full tanky jungle
Maokai Build
At the beggining
in the mid game
In the end
Final build
Also u can build without Ruby Sightsotne
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello I am Majonesu from Nordic East and North. My guide is about Maokai. I playing him for few month. I play him in two build ( or some experimetns ). He is really powerfull depend of situation.
- good cc
- fast ganks
- also second team support
- powerfull ultimate in teamfights
- low damage in late game
- high mana cost of spells
They are basic for the tank. First able u have to have good items for jungling. Also gives u bonus armor and health points. After that u should do someting for your team, as u know u have low dmg so u should gets some auras for the team. Extra wards are always good in the map. Also I add some dmg in the end.
Greater Quints gives you more mobility with 1.5% moving speed what is good in all game especially for early game. Greater Seals armor, Greater Marks magic penetration, Greater Glyphs magic resist, all what ap tank need.
Style of playing
We start from wolfs, then making blue adding Sapling TossSapling Toss and Arcane SmashArcane Smash then we go on wraiths and golums. Now on 3 lvl we updating Twisted AdvanceTwisted Advance and go for first gank on bottom.
Also we can start from red but we have to do it smiteless and buy 1 or 2 Mana Potion mana potions. After blue we can gank top or mid.
In mid game we have to watch how fights are going and use our ulti smart. Roots enemy and slowing them for kills. Its nice to use combo W , Q, R ,E if we have ap or ad carry near by enemy should be smash.
In Late game we have to watch where are our allience because we have low dmg and Maokai Maokai is not good fighter in 1 vs 1 agains other fighters when we are full tanky.
Maokai is good cc champ with nice tanky potencial. In the end I build some damage as I do in all my jungle tanky champs. I hope you enjoy my article.
This is my first guide, it will be nice if u give me some tips what I can do better.
I hope I help someone :)
Best wishes :)

Yesterday, after a not particularly constructive day,
I felt I - in the words of Bilbo Baggins - needed to
'Go On An Adventure'.
Moss agreed, so when it was time to meet Youngest, Moss and I set off with a plan -
well ok, the plan was mine but she was so dizzy and excited
that we could have done anything and she'd be happy!
Our micro-adventure ingredients were:
take away teas,
(from the local nature reserve cafe)
clues and a pen
(for a spot of geocaching)
and the camera.
Youngest of course is always up for an adventure...
...and despite being stiff and walking like a wind-up clockwork toy
(he's taken up running)
we set off, following footpaths old and new.
Moss. needless to say, was d.e.l.i.g.h.t.e.d!
We found what we were looking for,
quickly signed the log book (in this case a slip).
And even more happily, we bagged another cache.
There are few round here, think we'll gently collect them
when weather and time permit.
There was something special about walking with my son
through damp autumnal woods,
sipping hot tea from cardboard tumblers,
watching a dog charging around in the mud.
It turned a rather mediocre day
in to one far nicer.
It certainly set me up for my next painting.
Now that can't be bad :)

For more on DROWNING POOL
be sure to check out:
Drowning Pool Official Site: DROWNING POOL Official Myspace Official DROWNING POOL store
Drowning Pool is a killer rock band that knows how to rock out! From radio to satellite, these guys are kickin' ass and they know how to put on one hell of a show! The energy is bad ass and their songs are amazing. Today I got to interview CJ Pierce (guitar+back up vocals) and here's what he had to say..
JuicyBands: How long has Drowning Pool been together and how do you guys all know each other?
CJ: We've been together as Drowning Pool since 1996. We were all friends in high school, I met Mike when I was a freshman or a sophomore. The last 2 years of high school Mike moved to Dallas. His last 2 years of high school he became friends with Stevie and right after high school he moved back to New Orleans. Him and I just started rockin' out. He always stayed in touch with Stevie and back in the early 90's the rock and roll era was really poppin' with Pantara and a few other bands that were just kickin' ass at the time; so him and I decided in 96' to move to Dallas because the rock scene was way better there. We moved their on a mission to start a rock band together and it actually happened.
JuicyBands: I think you guys are all so phenomenal for everything you guys have been through and the tunes are outstanding.
CJ: Thank you, we've been through a lot of stuff. It's been quite the roller coaster ride, quite the ride.
JuicyBands: After loosing your lead singer 2 years ago, how did you guys go about finding Jason "Gong" Jones to join Drowning Pool and take the place of the new lead singer?
CJ: That was a tough time, it was probably one of the toughest times in my life so far. We were all pretty down and it was like loosing your best friend, your brother, you know, anyone loosing any family member, it's hard. But we've all been friends since high school, we all love music and we all love playing together, so we wanted to continue on playing. The name Drowning Pool is kind of like our last name, so we didn't want to change our name just because one of our brothers past away. That's another question people have asked, why we kept the same name, but you know..we started this together and we're going to keep it going. With Jason as far as getting Jason in, he had a really good voice that went with our music; of course we didn't know him personally, until after we got on a tour bus together. And you got to be friends and famiy first, before you can play music together and write songs together. With Jason, we never really had that brotherly family vibe; so we didn't want to lie to ourselves and lie to our fans. I think Ties was a great record that we did with Jason, I think he has a great voice; he just wasn't the right guy for us. With Ryan Mc.Combs we have that family vibe, we've known Ryan for almost 10 years now. We did some touring with him, he was friends with Dave back when we all got started. We act like brothers, fight like brothers…but in a good way. [laughs]
JuicyBands: You guys have been on tour like crazy, out of all the venues you guys played at this summer; which was your favorite and why?
CJ: That's a tough one, I like them all for different reasons. Whether it's 2 people, 20 people or 20,000 people, we love playing music and that's one thing that's pretty consistent about this band. Some bands hate if it's a small show, they get pissed off or they cut songs and I don't understand that mentality; we're here to play music for anybody and everyone……or nobody it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter where we're at, we just have such a good time everywhere, we love performing and playing great music. I can't really think of a particular venue, we like them all. We have a lot of cool fans, so we know people pretty much everywhere we go; it's always good to see friends again. We did a show with Stained not to long ago which was really cool and we did a show with Seether which was awesome! We're real good friends with Seether, we hardly ever get to see those guys; unless we do a radio show together. It's always cool when you get to hang out with your buddies from other bands that you don't get to see that often. Erin Lewis imperticular, he's a super nice guy. He kinda helped me out there, I was in dire need of something I didn't have and he helped me out and I appreciated that, and that's all I can say about that. Just really good people you know- gosh what venues, they're all so good, I love them all; even the small shitty ones, I love them all. [laughs]
JuicyBands: [laughs]
CJ: Infact, I think I like those better, because everybody's scrambling. Like you do the big show and everything works perfect, but then you play these little club shows where shit doesn't work right and everybody's scrambling. I was telling my drummer last night, he was getting mad; because he's the first one to freak out when things don't turn out right. The fans don't know, they're just rockin' out. We just go with it.
JuicyBands: So you guys are pretty well known for being a bad ass group of rock stars who know how to party like no tomorrow, what's the craziest thing you guys have done together as a band and where did it take place?
CJ: Yeah, we still know how to party like no tomorrow, I'm doing pretty good; I know how to pace myself now. But it still doesn't matter you know, every night's Saturday night by the end of the night. Then you want to hang out, with these people that come to your show, they work all week, goin' to school, so you definitely want to hang out, be a good host. I want to drink with everybody as much as the next person. The craziest thing we've ever done together as a band, every night crazy crazy stuff happens…every night. We haven't been doing this lately, but we usto travel with a bunch of fireworks and that's kinda fun to shoot it out the bus window at your crew members.
JuicyBands: [laughs] That's a new one.
CJ: You know what I did once, I was in the back of the bus, I opened up the back window and I had a rolling candle and I shot it forward towards the front of the bus. My driver's up there driving and he's just seeing sparks go by, he thought he went off the road and was hitting power lines; but we were just shooting fireworks from the back of the bus to the front of the bus.
JuicyBands: Did you guys do anything special for the 4th of July?
CJ: Actually we had a day off and we stayed at this Holiday Inn in the middle of no-where. The cool thing for me was, I wrote a new song there. A lot of times we're playing somewhere for the holidays, but it was kinda cool to chill. That was a good day for me.
JuicyBands: You guys have performed at so many venues this summer, you guys were actually at Summer Fest with Motley Crue, that's so awesome, how'd that go; did you guys have a blast?
CJ: Yeah I'm forever a fan of music, I still geek out on bands sometimes. I'm in the music business and I get to hang out with people. A perfect example is, Corey Taylor. I've known Corey for years, we toured with Slipknot back in 2001. And I see him every now and then, and I hang out with him, but at the same time, In the back of my head it's like, "I'm hanging out with Corey Taylor!" I'm still friends with the guy so it's cool, but I'm still like a fan at the same time, so I get all excited! There's other bands that are like that as well, we have bands come up to us; and they're like, "dude I've been fans of you guys forever." Like today it's going to be awesome, we're in Kansas City and we'll be doing a show with Judas Priest! They've been around forever and they still put on really kick ass shows and here we are opening up for them, so that's exciting!
JuicyBands: That's definitely exciting! Do you think everything you guys have been through as a band has brought you guys closer together?
CJ: Yeah it definitely brings you closer together, but I think it does a little bit of both. Brings you closer together but then you also cherish the times when you don't have to see anybody because you're always up each others ass on this bus.
JuicyBands: What's your must have snack you always pack when getting ready to hit the road and go on tour?
CJ: I am a snack-a-souras! I make snacks out of anything. I'll take anything we have and make some kind of gourmet meal out of it. I like Triscuits, I could eat those all day long, i'll dress it up. [laughs] I'll put like a smily face with the mustard, I like to play with my food.
JuicyBands: If you could perform with any musician dead or alive who would it be and why?
CJ: One musician that passed away that would be fun to rock out with would be Jimmy Hendrix because he does some crazy stuff. He was just so great at ad-libbing, if you watch some of his old videos of him live, he didn't sound anything like the record. Every time he played a song he played it completely different, but it was always awesome! So that would be fun, that would be a challenge. Of course I've had many moments jamming out with Dimebag, I wish there was more. It was weird with him because at his house he had a studio and he always wanted to be on the drums and give me his guitar and I'm like, "You're Dimebag you're amazing on the guitar, why did you give me your guitar and you're on the drums?!" so that was fun, I'd of liked to have done more of that. I just enjoy playing with other bands like Judas Priest. We did a festival show where we opened up for Iron Maiden. It's always fun to open up for these classic rock bands that have been around forever. It builds your hardcore fan base.
JuicyBands: You guys just wrapped up the video and are came out with a new single, 37 Stitches, do you want to tell us a little bit about it?
CJ: Yeah, we just finished up the video for it last week in Dallas. We actually had a day off, we stopped off in Dallas; filmed the video and left. So I went home for a couple hours, just to get some clothes for the video. I really like the video, it's very personal. There's a couple clips of Stevie at his house and a couple clips of me at my house and there's a couple clips of Joe and Charlie; his parents are in the video which is really cool. And some buddies of ours Bob, who plays base for Damage Plan and 2nd base for Hellyeah, he's in the video doing the tattoo on Mikes arm. It was kinda cool, we did it in our home town; so we got to run around and shoot in different locations. The last scene was actually at the Pladium, which is a real cool rock club with the Dallas skyline in the background. I'm really happy with that. We haven't done anything like that before and I think it came out really good. I'm in shock. I just got the edit yesterday and I'm really happy with it. I'm not sure what else they have to do to it, but I'm really happy with what I've seen. I think the official ad date is the 2nd week in August, so I'm sure after August or September that 37 Stitches will start hitting the radio and you'll be hearing more of it. It's a good song, I really like it. It's kind of a departure from our regular style, a little more mellow. I pulled out the acoustic for the first time and that's where that song came from and I really hope it takes up because Ryan does really good at that stuff. We did a couple songs that aren't out at all yet, I'm sure they will come out. We did a couple of acoustic songs from the record just for fun at a buddies studio and they just sound really really good. We've never done anything like that before. I hopefully want to pursue a few more songs like that on the next record, but of course we're going to stick with the heavy stuff. I think our new material is going to be heavier then boddies, so I'm looking forward to those songs as well. Just trying to expand our music on the next record.
JuicyBands: That's great that you guys are keeping it fresh and switching it up. When you guys are on tour how do you decide what songs you're going to start off with and end with each night?
CJ: That's a constant battle every single day. Everybody wants to do something different, everybody has their favorite songs. We usually make 2 or 3 different set lists. It changes here and there, we have a couple songs that flow nice together and stay together live, but then at different show's we'll switch it up. 37 is a new song we just put on the set list recently, so every night, we'll try it here, we'll try it there, whatever feels better.
JuicyBands: While on tour, what do you do on the tour bus to keep yourself entertained?
CJ: I just play the guitar and write music. I'm pretty boring. I'll get up, get a little work out in, do some sit-ups and push-ups and I'm more motivated to write music and pick up my guitar; that's what I do. Some dudes like Ryan, he's a video game guy. He'll sit in his bunk and just play video games forever. I can't do that, I can't play video games for more then 5 minutes, I get dizzy. I'm just writing music and believe me, time flys when I'm writing music. The whole day will go by, I'll get really into it and next thing I know the day's over.
JuicyBands: Jager or Vodka?
CJ: We were sponsored by jager for many many years when we did the jagermeister tour. I would have to say Vodka over Jager because I've drank so much jager In the last 5-10 years of my life. We need some clear liquids here.
JuicyBands: Do you guys have any special plans for the future?
CJ: We have a little time off in September. I think we're going to get a lot of songs solid, for the next record in that time period. Hopefully we'll be in the position to record by next year and put a new record out there for the fans and continue touring through all next year.
JuicyBands: Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans?
CJ: Yeah, I'd like to let our fans know, we say this all the time. Usually after the show, we'll go change and shower off and then we'll come hang out and everybody's gone. We're the kind of band, we like to hang out and thank everyone personally for coming out. I'll go back stage and change my shirt and come out to hang out with everyone and everybody's gone. It'll just be us 4 at the bar hanging out, wondering where everyone went.

When the finalists for the Fourth Annual 15 Minutes Max Student
Film Festival were chosen, one Niskayuna High School student
found her film had made the cut.
Larissa Vassolas, now a junior, created the short film After Image during her sophomore year Studio in Video class. It is the story of a teenage girl with a mental disorder who is looking for further treatment of her condition as she has started to hallucinate that another girl is following her.
In producing the short film, Vassolas wanted audience members to question what they were seeing on the screen and ultimately question their own concept of reality.
After Image was one of nearly 100 submissions sent to the festival by local high school and college students - with only 10 making the cut for the Oct. 2 screening at the Madison Theater in Albany. The goal of the festival is to showcase and celebrate the best films produced by regional students.

Conditions on the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) grid have returned to normal, but conservation is still needed as cold weather continues to cause a high demand for power.
Demand for electricity today reached 55,486 MW in the hour leading up to 8 a.m. Monday. ERCOT issued an Energy Emergency Alert and implemented demand response programs through some entities, which contract with ERCOT to reduce their electric use when needed.
"Cold weather will continue through Tuesday morning, and we will continue to monitor conditions closely," said Dan Woodfin, ERCOT director of System Operations.
"Consumers are encouraged to use electricity wisely, and a conservation alert remains in effect throughout the ERCOT region." For more information about Energy Emergency Alerts, visit:
Although rotating outages are not anticipated today, ERCOT will continue to monitor conditions closely. Unexpected major losses of generation could force operators to proceed with additional emergency procedures to avoid an uncontrolled statewide blackout.
Here are some ways to help until operating reserves are restored to target levels.:
· Keep your thermostat as low as is comfortable, preferably no higher than 68 degrees.
· Turn off and unplug non-essential lights and appliances.
· Avoid running large appliances such as washers, dryers and electric ovens during peak energy demand hours (6-9 a.m. and 4-8 p.m.).
· Close shades and blinds at night to reduce the amount of heat lost through windows.
· Businesses should minimize the use of electric lighting and electricity-consuming equipment as much as possible.
· Large consumers of electricity should consider shutting down or reducing non-essential production processes.

best joint.
Have visited this place many a times.. Samrat is one of the best food joints in South Mumbai to serve authentic gujrati thaali.. Food is lip smacking & up to the mark... The best part in the thaali is their khichdi which is a bit different from the ones we usually have at home... Their gulab jamuns r so soft n tasty.. A must try by burbies when they r in town

Classy place
A little bit expensive,but I am a college student so everything is expensive for me (lol).Food is really good, went with a few friends last week and we had the famous Samrat ki Thaali! The ambiance is very nice and often there is a waiting line to get in during holidays. Service is very quick and courteous,just how one would expect. Liked the Thaali a lot,they kept serving till we were all bursting! Food was so good we almost forgot to take a pic but thankfully one of our group members took a pic of his thaali.

Best Thali I have ever had
Well, to say the least is to say that the best thali I have ever had is at Samrat.
The food, the quality, the service, everything is just top notch. They serve you everything with a lot of love. You feel as if they want to ensure that you have had everything properly. Very homely feeling and great food makes this a must visit place.

Gone are the days
First on their Service. They do not take any reservation on phone or on net, Ok, we reached their in person & got our name enrolled, got reply wait outside for 1 hour. They mentioned on their menu Thali not to be shared & on placing order for thali they repeat that warning. Fine, they are doing their job. But real unprofessional service & customers taken for granted starts once order is placed. They serve rotis & Thepla first with all other vegetables, dal & kadhi. No Puris are offered in first serving. Puris came only when we finished considerable portion of our meal, we had to remind altelast three times for puri & they came repeatedly with thepla & rotis. Now any Gujarati knows that Roti & Theplas are easy to make & from cost point of view they are cheaper. When restaurant is charging full price for all items included in thali why such practice to delay & avoid serving what customer wants? Ok, I settled for 2 Rotis, , They poured ghee(butter) on one roti & stopped. I had to ask him to pour on 2nd one also. Definitely patrons do not go there for ghee or rotis or puris, but such type of tactics by the managements shows their cheap ways of saving cost on thali they serve.
Food: 3 Vegetables. Ok. With sweet test dominating. Nothing great. Paneer sabji with sugar becomes Gujarti cuisine. Dal is watery mixture of imli & gud. Yogurt Kadhi was good in test & texture. Ghugara were pathetic in test with dry filling. White dhokla was ok & rubbery. Dahi vada was absolutely let down & were added in the tali just for sake of it. Aam Ras was 3 tea spoon of Ras sweetened by sugar syrup. Only testy item in this So called devine Gujarati thali was steamed rice & kadhi.

Samrat No More
This age old restaurant is a a favourite among Gujju families for the Thali. Loud, it's not a place you want to linger. Reluctantly I proceeded given it was a family event and I hadn't eaten a thali in years.
Food: We went for the Thali which consisted of unlimited food except the sweets of which only two are allowed. The menu changes everyday. It's a lavish spread with tri-coloured Dhokla, some fried farsan, buttermilk, papad, dal, gujju kadhi and three vegetables which were unfortunately not very appealing. You can chose between roti and puri, khichdi and rice.
Service: Quick it's like a mass production factory where the food keeps coming.
Damages: Rs 250 - 300 for a thali.
I wouldn't go back because the food and options were very average like something I'd get at home. There are many better thali places if one is so inclined.

The Best Restaurant..!!
Heard about this place through a friend. Thought I should give my meat eating spree a little break, so here I was at Samrat which serves pure veg food. This restaurant had an ancient maharajas palace look with classy paintings all around. This palace, I mean place, was spic n span. Very neat, very clean.So, I got myself a table and was simply staring at the menu because I had absolutely no idea what to order. I hadnt been to a pure veg restaurant in ages. So I asked waiter to help me out. Not like any other restaurant where the waiters dont know anything about whats in the menu, this guy here at Samrat knew which dish was where in the menu and exactly what were ingredients that come together to make it. I was pretty impressed. The food arrived and was well presented. Well about the food, it was amazing! Out of this world and Ive never enjoyed veg food so much in my life before! I totally recommend this place! And least you know, you might turn into a vegetarian!

Samrat is what memories are made off Have been visiting this place as a kid, now I visit it with my kid. Looks even better after renovation,classy & spacious. Gujarati thali is the best here. So are the corn bhel,paneer makhni & veg jalfrezi. Great service. Owners are always present to greet you. Polite servers,they do that extra bit to make you happy. Have been seeing them for 20years now! Samrat is a part of my life. Thanks for the memories. Love it.

Authorities are investigating the deaths of three people who were found in a house outside of Hagerstown, a Washington County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman said Thursday.
Officers found two men and one woman dead in a house outside of Hagerstown shortly after they received a phone call around 4:20 p.m., said Deputy First Class Carly Hose, a spokeswoman for the sheriff's office.
The three were identified Thursday night as Christopher M. Wachter, 23; Kimberly A. Smith, 47, and William F. Smith Jr., 54. Hose said in a prepared statement that Wachter was the son of Kimberly Smith and the stepson of William Smith Jr.
After a preliminary investigation, investigators believe that Smith killed Kimberly Smith and Wachter before shooting himself in the chest.
A shotgun was recovered at the scene, Hose said.
The three died in a red brick home on Dawn Drive in an unincorporated area called Halfway, a residential area dotted with trees and neatly manicured lawns.
This report has been updated.

Lol! Google helped me save me … again! :)
The last couple of days I've been migrating some web services I run from a VPS to a dedicated server. One of the sites I've been moving is a friends Wiki. I kept encountering a problem though – I'd copy all the files and the database across and all would appear fine – but the site wouldn't work. I'd go to the new website and instead of showing me the Wiki it would welcome me to MediaWiki with a page saying I needed to "setup the wiki first" – as if it was a whole new installation! I tried changing the version of PHP it was running to an older one. Didn't help. I tried upgrading to a new version of the Wiki software – it solved the "setup" problem, but now there were huge problems with the layout caused by changes in the software. Problems that would have taken a long time to fix.
So I did the sensible thing – I googled mediawiki "setup the wiki first". It brought up a discussion thread on the MediaWiki website from 2011. Great! I wasn't the only one with the problem. I scrolled through the discussion to see if I could find a solution. Yup, someone seemed to have solved it –
There's clearly some problem with line 109 in webstart.php for me –
if( !file_exists( "$IP/LocalSettings.php" ) ) {
Simply disabling this if block allows the wiki to work fine.
Ahhh …. I just managed to google a solution. written by me when doing a mediawiki upgrade 3 years ago! LOL
problem is that IIS requires read access to the parent folder for realpath() to work properly
Funny right? They googled a solution and discovered the answer in a post they'd written themselves! Ha Ha Ha …. uh …. hmmm …. that sounds familiar …. so I click on the link and it takes me to a post on forums.iis.net written by a "david.s". Yup. Me! And a little further down in the thread, after a request from another user, I link to a post I wrote about this problem here on this very blog in 2008 – Migrating to a new IIS7 install from IIS6.
So that's twice now my past self has helped my future self!
Moral of the story? If you have a problem and you find a solution, make sure you post it to the internet! Not only might you help others, but you could be helping your future self – Pay it forward indeed!

Rob Gettemy
Gettemy is a candidate for Congress in the 2nd District. Gettemy turned some heads when he turned in a ton of nomination petitions just weeks after announcing his candidacy. Since then, one might say that he has been one of the best-kept secrets in Iowa this year, since he's not been all that visible.
My crack research staff notified me that Mr. Gettemy has not voted in the 2008, 2006, 2004, or 2002 Republican primaries. I love these "Washington is not listening candidates" who didn't even take part of the process before becoming a candidate.
Some primary voters don't like candidates who want to be their standard bearer but don't bother with voting. I guess it could be worse, Peter Teahen supported Julie Thomas a liberal Congressional candidate in 2002, then six years later wanted to be the Republican candidate for Congress.
Candidates who don't think people will pull their voting records are idiots. I'm told there is a party switcher running in the 3rd CD, but I have not yet done the research on that.
The Linn County GOP
Heck, while we are talking about Linn County, we might as well talk about how dysfunctional the county party is over there. If you recall, after the leadership elections last year, some of the old leadership team started the Linn County Whig Party. Recently, newly elected chair of the Linn County GOP bailed to support one of the congressional candidates.
Turnover in these positions is deadly to an organization if it happens mid-term. I have not hidden the fact that I don't think its appropriate for State Central Committee members or county chairs to support candidates in primaries. You sought this leadership role on your own; you knew what it was all about. Being a county char has nothing to do with the outcome of the primary, it has everything to do with winning in the fall.
Republicans are idiots for focusing on winning the battle, not the war.
Christian Fong
Christian Fong was near the top of everyone's list of young up and comers in GOP politics until his floundering quest for Terrace Hill. Many candidates who have failed in their campaigns for high profile elected office have regrouped and set their sights a bit lower like Chris Reed, Steve Rathje, George Eichhorn and Renee Schulte.
I'm told that Fong has refused to consider a bid for congress or for the state senate against Rob Hogg in NE Cedar Rapids. That seat currently remains unchallenged by the GOP and would have been a good pickup with a candidate like Fong. I mean this is Chuck Larson's old seat…
His all or nothing approach to elected office puts him on the list of this week's idiots. If you want to be a future leader you have to step up.
Union Thug
Alan Bernard, former Executive Director of the Hawkeye Labor Council and close confident of then President and current Cedar Rapids City Councilman Justin Shields was recently indicted in federal court on 36 counts of forged securities and 1 count of access device fraud.
Bernard is accused of forging more than $24,800 in checks on the council's account and more than $6,500 on an individual's credit account. If convicted, Bernard faces up to 375 years in prison and a $9 million fine which would buy a lot of soap on a rope.
Bernard made headlines in 2001 when he pled guilty to two counts of possession of methamphetamine, each a serious misdemeanor under Iowa law. Bernard also moonlighted as democratic political consultant and owned the business votefactory.com.
Like most organized labor thugs and their minions Alan, you are an idiot.

Five HRMS features you didn't know you needed
It's not unusual for businesses not to be using their HRMS features to full capacity. Often, even quite significant features might be 'left for later' during implementation and then there just never seems to be a good time to catch up and activate them.
Here are five features that might be hiding unused in your HRMS…
1. Scheduling
For managers and supervisors, many HRMS will have a scheduling function, allowing you to create shifts and rotas showing clearly how everyone's working hours mesh together. This simple yet highly useful tool should tap into your time and attendance, and leave management functions to give you a fully up to date picture of your staffing resources in real time, prompting you to make adjustments in the event of no-shows, sickness, or other attendance-related issues.
2. Learning
Many HRMS will offer a basic learning management system, including at the least a way of recording who has taken what training and when. However, more sophisticated packages may offer the opportunity to set up a learning directory online, accessible by all employees who can then either book or at least express interest in the learning and training that will benefit them. Going further, some systems include the option of authoring and managing your own e-learning packages, effectively automating your regular learning programs.
Learn more about HRMS features and what they can do for you with this guide to 52 essential features to look for in your next software purchase
3. Performance Management
Following on from learning is HRMS' functionality for performance management. At a basic level, a system with both learning management and performance management functionality will combine the two sets of data to give managers a fuller picture of an individual's performance and development during the course of the year (or six months, or however long your performance management cycle is). However, you might find that your system is capable of more sophisticated linkages, for example using a competency framework to map learning activities to specific duties and roles, and performance (or the lack of it).
4. Benefits Management
As the English-speaking world – on both sides of the Atlantic – becomes ever more complex in terms of economies and political directions, one side effect will be changes to benefits packages in terms of what people want and need, what's available, and also how you as an employer manage people and their choices. If you don't already have your annual enrollment options and advice automated, now might the time to consider it.
5. Applicant Tracking
Switching from existing employees to future employees, more sophisticated HRMS systems can include recruitment functions which can enable you to manage anything from job advertisements to building a social media talent pool. At the least, firing up the applicant tracking system (or ATS) will smooth the kinks out of your hiring process, and may even extend to automated and/or virtual onboarding of new employees.
