LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- I went there to look for all season tire for my SUV and Jeff of Discount Tire (Eastern and Silverado Las Vegas NV branch) had exceedingly assist me in getting the right tires for me with discount that you can imagine. Thank you so much Jeff. Hope they will recognize you for your effort... and that will always be my tire store to all of my cars.
MEADOWS PLACE, TEXAS -- They convinced my wife to buy 4 new tires on a car that has 29,000 miles only when she only went in for a flat repair. I can accept the purchase since I prefer Michelin tires anyway to Goodyear factory original tires. They gave her 3 new tires and said that they will call her the next day because they were out of stock. They took 2.5 hours to complete the job when the told her it will only take 45 minutes. They appear to have taken the car for a ride, black finger prints on passenger sun visor. They never called back on the 4th tire until I escalated a complaint to the corporate office.
They left the car a mess, dirty / black finger / hand prints on the door, wheel, sun visor, even roof, WTF? The local manager agreed to the cleaning cost by a third-party when I spoke to him and he agreed that he will not be trusted to clean the car. My wife went back to get the 4th tire and the manager simply refused the cleaning and when she asked him to call me, he disappeared and never called. Quite cowardly behavior for someone in management position.
SURPRISE, ARIZONA -- On July 2012 I took my truck in for two new tires to a Discount Tire in Surprise, AZ. Store number AZP51 on west bell road. The wait was not long and I soon watched them pull my vehicle out of the shop and then take off on a small road to test drive the new tires. The guy came back and parked my car in the front of the store and I noticed he seemed a like shaky when he said I was all set to go. I didn't think anything of it and jumped in to drive home. I park it at my house and get out to walk around and notice a deep dent the size of a quarter with the paint chipped out on the tailgate.
I drive it back to Discount and let them know that they damaged my truck. Of course the man says that none of his guys admit to any damage on my truck and that I could file a damage report. He said that this damage report can only be filed by a manager. The manager was not working that day and they told me to come back later that week. I came back on 3 different days and no manager. I thought that was ridiculous. The fourth time back they finally had a manager working. He filled out a damage claim report on my truck and notified me that I would get a call from the corporate claims department about getting the damage repaired.
3 days later I get the call from the claims department that they are sending an appraiser to value the damage on my truck. The appraiser from Saguaro Claims Services calls me to set up a time to come look at the damage. He shows up to my office at work and I meet him outside to tell him about the damage after I got my truck back from Discount. He takes pictures and writes notes, then tells me about the process of how they will take the tailgate off replace the whole tailgate piece and out new emblems on.
He then said that during this time they will give me a rental car until the work is finished, shakes my hand, then says I will get another call with the details about when this repair will get scheduled. I do not receive a call but receive a letter from Discounts Claims Management Dept:
"The investigation into the above referenced claim is now complete. According to the independent appraiser's report and review by Discount Tire there is no evidence that any tools used or service provided by Discount Tire damaged your vehicle on the date of service July 14, 2012. For Discount Tire to issue any type of compensation, the company would have to be found legally liable for the damage to your vehicle. At this time, we found no legal liability on the behalf of the company. Based on this information Discount Tire is not accepting liability for the damage to your vehicle and, will not be issuing any voluntary payments at this time."
"If you have any additional information that you think may be relevant in our liability investigation, please submit it to my attention for review. In the absence of any new information, our file will remain closed. Please be advised that the statute of limitations for property damage claims in the state of Arizona is 2 years from the date of loss."
So basically any Discount tire shop employee can take your car out and damage it, give you the keys and tell you that if you can't prove it, then deal with it. I don't understand why the employee who did the damage just didn't tell me about the accident? They have insurance to cover accidents that happen like this. Instead they would rather just say "prove it".
With all of the expenses of my wife having a baby last year, I obviously cannot spend hundreds of dollars to fix this damage. Now I have to look at it and get angry at Discount every time I walk to my truck. Considering I'd spent over $500 for those new tires I would expect them to cover a few hundred dollars to fix the damage they did and then I would have continued to buy those tires from them moving forward.
FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA -- We are an average hard working American family. We take responsibility for ourselves and never complain, take a stand or see ourselves as victims, until now! I went to the Discount Tire store located at 1230 South Milton Road, Flagstaff, Arizona. November 9th, 2009 to have the tires rotated on our 2005 Kia Sorrento. I clearly informed the salesperson that the vehicle was 4-wheel drive and with the possibility of winter storms in the forecast - "I want to ensure that my wife had safe transportation while I was out town on business."
The manager, ** informed me that he would not rotate the tires and instead wanted me to purchase new tires right then. I informed him that was not possible today and I was leaving on a business trip. The front tires did have an uneven wear pattern and needed to be rotated. There was still plenty of tread on the tires and would have been fine on the rear of the car until after the first of the year and we were past the holidays. The rear tires had plenty of tread and looked almost new. The set of four were replaced in 2007 and I was driving less than 20 miles a day during this time frame.
** insisted that this was unsafe and offered to install a pair of loaner tires to get us through until we could replace the tires. His offer seemed reasonable and I trusted his "professional opinion". After about a 45 minute wait one of the young men announced that my car was ready. He thanked me and said the documents were in the glove box.
On December 7th, 2009 during a storm my wife called me and said she was having problems on the icy roads while in four-wheel drive. This was the beginning of a serious winter storm and the roads were pretty bad. After about 16 miles of driving down state route 89a in snow and ice the car was smoking and shuttering. My wife pulled over and called me. I told her to call roadside assistance have it towed where we could have it looked at.
Upon inspection by the Kia dealership they determined that entire driveline of the car was destroyed and the tires were the blame. The service manager said, "you need to go after the person that put those tires on your car!" In reviewing the documents from the tire swap on November 9th it was clear and known to them, they put a taller pair of tires on front of the car than what was installed on the rear of the car.
Here is what Discount determined in their "investigation": "A review of the above referenced claim has been completed. According to a statement taken by the tow truck driver that transported your vehicle to Oxendale Kia you drove your vehicle in 4-wheel drive for over 30 miles on flat freeway. When the tires were installed as a temporary replacement in November 2009 it was not brought to the salespersons attention that your vehicle was a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
Had your vehicle not been placed in 4-wheel drive the temporary tires would have performed without causing damage. Based on this information, Discount Tire will not be issuing any voluntary payments to indemnify you at this time.
If you have any additional information that you think may be relevant in our liability investigation, please submit it to my attention for. In the absence of any new information, our file will remain closed. Please be advised that the statute of limitations for property damage claims in the state of Arizona is 2 years from the date of loss. Sincerely, Claims Mgmt Dept., Discount Tire Company."
I have removed the name and phone number here in all fairness. Now, the statements in this denial letter are totally false. The tow truck driver that delivered the car to the Dealership claims to have never made such a statement. It was 16 miles until the vehicle failed on an icy, snowy canyon road. the Kia dealerships service department agrees with the owner's manual (with the correct tires installed) even if this were driven on a Flat freeway it would not cause any damage to the driveline.
Obviously the person who wrote this letter has never been to Northern Arizona, for there is nothing "Flat" about where we live or the drive to my wife's office which is not via a freeway. I was clear with ** that this was a 4x4 vehicle and to add insult to injury, they have put tires on this car recently and all the information about our car in their system.
We are a simple, happy, working class family. We trusted the "experts" at Discount Tire with our needs. As a result, our vehicle is sitting in a junkyard with $12,000 damage and we are still making the monthly payments on it. We have 2-car loans out - we simply can't qualify for another vehicle loan. Bottom line; we are stuck paying for a mistake made by Discount Tire.
I paid for a one-hour consultation with an attorney. He informed us that we would have to foot the entire bill to take this to court and could not be reimbursed for our expenses since nobody was physically injured. I am grateful my wife or some else on the road was not injured.
I would not trade the welfare of others in order to force Discount tire to do the right thing and repair our Sorrento that their mistake and negligence damaged. Do not purchase tires from any of their stores. Clearly they are not just incompetent, they are sorry people of poor character with no morals and don't care who they hurt!
2150 E SEMORAN BLVD, APOPKA, FLORIDA -- Discount Tire Stores are the only company that advertises FREE TIRE PLUG/REPAIR. I am a single woman and recently had my back rear tire go flat due to a large nail in it. Called a friend to come and inflate it and he told me all about how Discount Tires will fix it for free. I made it there as quickly as I could before the air ran back out. I asked how much to plug a tire. "It's FREE MA'AM!" He grabbed a clip board and as he walked to the car, before he even got near the flat tire in the back, began to tell me that all of my tires were in bad shape. The two on the front are 3 month old brand new expensive Bridgstones!
I asked him to just look at the nail in the back tire so he could know which one needed to be plugged. He then pointed to some tiny cracks on the side of the tire, not even close to where the nail was! Then he said, "it wouldn't be safe to plug it"???!!! I asked why, he said "It just wouldn't", I asked why again, he walked around the car again ignoring me. Then he told me "Well it just wouldn't be safe".
I was irate now, and explained that the air was running out, was he going to fix it or not?!!!!!!! He said very sarcastically "No, I cannot". I asked if he would at least fill it with some more air, so I could get to a reputable tire store up the street, he pretended not hear me and walked back into the store.
That was that! I WILL NEVER EVER DO BUSINESS WITH DISCOUNT TIRES AGAIN, I WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW OF THEIR UNPROFESSIONAL DIRTY TACTICS TO GET PEOPLE TO BUY NEW TIRES, especially when they see a real fish - a single woman who doesn't know what to do. To fix tires for free is unprofitable so they advertise it, get you in there, tell you your tires are crap, you better get new ones right now before you get killed etc etc. If that's the only way they can make money, I find it disgusting and ignorant.
I did go next door to TIRES PLUS, they didn't say a word, fixed it with a smile, I gladly paid 22.00 and was on my way. If the ignoramus who refused my business had done this, I just may have gone back after the first of the year and bought new tires for the back of the car. Stupid stupid stupid management and staff. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH PEOPLE! I learned my lesson... STAY AWAY FROM DISCOUNT TIRES.
CARY, NORTH CAROLINA -- Originally went to this specific location to get pricing info on tires & wheels. Met with sales guy ** who proceeded to assists me with the info I requested. I told this individual that I would have to come in later that afternoon - could not make it back to store until two days later. In the meantime I had gone ahead & ordered a set of wheels & tires online (from same company) & confirmed an appointment for installation.
When I arrived the next day for my appointment, I was immediately told that the tires I ordered online were different from the ones he quoted & was asked why would I go with a different tire than before. As a consumer, I thought I had choices... Needless to say, I proceeded with the transaction & was told by M. ** that if I wanted a better quality tire he would give me another brand with better mileage warranty, for the same price - the ones I purchased online had 40,000 mile warranty - the ones he sold to me supposedly had 65000 mile warranty (for someone who drives a lot, as I do, this is very important). In actuality the tires I purchased had the same warranty (I found that out later).
I went ahead with the purchase of the tires & wheels - had to come back next day, because they didn't have all the wheels in stock. Okay. After wheel install, was told to return for re-torque, okay. In meantime I noticed excessive vibration in steering wheel, so after returning to location, I brought this to their attention. They supposedly rebalanced tires & then told me that I would need a part to relieve the vibration, but they had to be ordered from Texas & would take a few business days...
M. ** stated that he had checked inventory of other stores & no one else had these items in stock, so he went ahead & ordered them.... I could not accept that a chain with this many stores would not have any of these items stocked & called him later that day to see if he was able to locate them - he abruptly answered "NO" - I knew he hadn't checked other locations which angers me because from what I've been told, not having these on the wheels could potentially prove to be dangerous... I called another location the next day & they had the same items IN STOCK!!! Went to location & service was 10,000 times better!!!
BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON -- I just had yet another tire replaced at Discount Tire, and had more awesome service as always. Some schmuck had thrown a beer bottle in the road the day before, and my reaction time between seeing said bottle and swerving was unfortunately too long. So I put the donut on and went to Discount Tire after work.
I was a bit worried at first. It was nearing the end of the day, they were busy, and I was severely sleep deprived at the time and had been having a generally crappy day up to that point. Before I even got up to the desk, though, one of the guys from the shop took my wounded tire from me and took it to get it tested. I was glad I didn't have to lug the dirty thing all the way up there.
The tire test took just a few minutes. My tire needed replaced. I had the free replacement certificate on it, so it only cost me $10 to replace, and that cost was just to put the free replacement certificate on the new tire. (This is the third time I have taken advantage of that certificate. It has more than paid for itself!) They also rotated my tires. Even though it seemed pretty busy, they were well-staffed, and I was on my way within half an hour.
The staff is always incredibly friendly, not to mention pretty good looking as well. The store floor is always clean. They also have an absolutely awesome espresso machine that does espresso, lattes, cappuccinos, mochas... I wish I had one at home! Price-wise, they are usually the best as well, and if they don't have the tire you want in stock, they will call around EVERYWHERE to find it. (I once watched one of them call around for over half an hour... he finally found the tire desired halfway across the country. I'm not sure what sort of tire that was that made it hard to find; they've always had tires for my car in stock.)
In short, these guys are the absolute best. They can take a crappy situation (flat tire) and make it a much more pleasant one. Once you can get your car there, they'll take care of you and brighten your day! I will never take my car anywhere else.
HOBBS, NEW MEXICO -- OK here we go. First off I would like to say that the tire prices were the best in town and the initial Customer Service was excellent. Tires were mounted & balanced. As the tech was backing from the stall I noticed there was a wheel stud missing (big plate glass window right next to the stall in the waiting room to allow viewing of shop).
I informed him about the stud. We checked it and found out the stud had been pushed in. He told me to take it to a nearby mechanic and they (Discount Tire) would cover it. The previous customer was also directed to the mechanic because they had broken one of his studs. I get the stud replaced and the secretary said she called Discount Tire and they said they were not going to cover it.
On the phone with three different people from Discount Tire including the one that said they would cover it. Apparently his boss overrode his authority and said they weren't going to cover it. His boss said that they didn't do it. I was never told that the stud was pushed in and just happened to be looking when they were backing out my car. What if this would've caused an accident?
One tech removed 5 studs, another only put 4 on. That would've immediately raised a red flag in my eyes and I would've questioned the other tech to see if there were in fact five studs. The amount of studs and placement are designed that way for a purpose and the weight of the car is taken into account. If you have one missing stud that puts stress on the remaining studs and can potentially lead to the rest failing. The manager at Discount Tire said they would cover half of the cost.
Problem #2: The only form of payment I had was an American Express card, well the mechanic doesn't accept American Express. So I call Discount Tire back and tell them so they tell me that they will pay for it and I can come up there and pay them the other half. Needless to say I did not follow through with that agreement and phoned them and informed them that I was not. I have just emailed Discount Tire and am awaiting a response.
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA -- I purchased 6 new tires for my 1 ton pickup. After driving the truck it started getting a vibration. I Took it back to the discount store I purchased the tires from (I also purchased their road hazard insurance plan). When they started to take my front tires off they seen that you could take the lug nuts off with your fingers. They were so loose. Driving with the lugs loose damaged the rims, lug bolts and nuts. They refused to replace the damaged parts even after Ford said that they not Torquing the lug nuts properly and leaving them too loose is what damaged them.
I am very lucky. God must have been watching over me and my family. If the rim had broken (Which is very possible) we could have been killed but Discount Tire couldn't care less. I am an Elder in my Church and Discount tire treated me like I was trying to rip them off. I just spent over a Thousand Dollars with them for these tires and the road hazard insurance. All I wanted was for them to replace the damaged to my truck. I guess some day we will all be judged for our actions and I hope god has mercy on the people at Discount Tire.
HOUSTON, TEXAS -- The last time I purchased new tires, they under inflated my tires. I almost lost control of my truck as I got on the freeway... I increased speed to about 67 mph to get into my lane, and quickly noticed my truck bouncing all around in a circular motion, almost losing control of it. I thought to myself... "these new tires suck!"
I continued to drive on them for the rest of the week, being careful now that I know I can't drive fast. I had Discount Tire take a look at them, and the guy said whoever installed your tires had under inflated them... nice! These freaking idiots would love to let you go out there and have a wreck. Be very careful and check anything they do, they are really not good at anything past the tire sales.

Beginning August 2016, all Lied media reserves (DVDs, VHS etc.) will be processed and circulated from the main Lied Circulation Desk
Submitting Items to be Placed on Reserve
What is the procedure for putting something on reserve?
Bring the material you want placed on reserve to the library, along with a completed and signed copy of the reserves form (PDF). If the material is going on electronic reserve, bring a photocopy of the material. Remember that the branch libraries run their own physical reserves systems. If you wish to have something on reserve at the Architecture Studies Library, Music Library or Teacher Development & Resources Library it must be taken there; we do not route material back and forth.
Where are electronic reserves posted and how do my students access them?
All electronic reserves are hosted in WebCampus (Blackboard) within the specific course site. The Libraries can post library owned or licensed content for you via Course Builder privileges in your WebCampus courses. Or you can manage these resources yourself - directly via WebCampus.
Your students will access the posted materials by logging into WebCampus with their ACE account and password, and navigating to your course. If the Libraries have posted our content on your behalf, these items will typically be in the left navigation of the site, under "Reserves" link.
I have a VHS/DVD to put on reserve. Is that handled the same way?
Yes, bring the items you want placed on reserve to the Circulation Desk, along with a completed and signed copy of the media reserves form (PDF).
What is the turnaround time for electronic and paper reserves?
It usually takes less than 72 hours from the time the material is dropped off at the Circulation Desk. Processing time could be longer during peak times, such as the beginning of semesters.
Turnaround time at the branch libraries may vary. Ask when you drop off the material.
What else do I need to be aware of when submitting photocopies for scanning?
- Handwritten items should be written in dark ink and should be legible.
- Photocopies should be clean and of the highest possible quality, preferably without dark edges. The quality of the scan is only as good as the original photocopy!
- Old photocopies that are torn and have dog-eared pages will be returned with a request for a cleaner copy; they jam up the sheet feeder.
- Paper should be standard letter size. The scanner sheet feeder cannot handle anything that is not eight-and-a-half-by-eleven.
- Articles should be short in order to download quickly. If the item is over 25 pages, consider only using a few pages of important material.
- Page orientation should be consistent-either portrait or landscape.
- Item should be black-and-white or grayscale; the scanner does not scan in color.
Are there any restrictions on what can be placed on reserve?
UNLV library operates reserve systems in order for instructors to get copies of assigned readings to students in their classes. The system is not to be used for any other purpose.
Materials not accepted for reserves include:
- Any material that students are expected to purchase, such as coursepacks, especially coursepacks put together by campus Repographics
- Student papers without written permission from the student granting permission to be placed on reserve
- Entire books or journal issues will never be placed on E-reserve, although they may go on physical reserve
Why do I still have to bring in a photocopy for electronic reserves? Can't you just scan from the original?
The time it would take to locate documents and assemble them for scanning would extend the turnaround time for processing our request and would impact our ability to serve others. Also, the sheet feeder can only handle loose, letter-sized sheets, not bound books and journal issues.
What if I teach the same course again? Do I have to resubmit everything that was scanned?
Not always. The library does archive old courses and documents, so if your course was taught within the last three years, your old course page may still exist, along with all the documents you used. To have it reactivated or changed, submit a reserves form with copies of any new material.
How do I get more information about copyright?
See Copyright Questions for Reserves Materials
Who do I contact with questions about placing items on reserve?
Lied Library
Architecture Studies Library
Music Library
Teacher Development & Resources Library

The contrast between the glossy surface of the blown glass diffuser and the hand-crafted steel external cage makes Cage unique. In the Cage suspension version, an original metallic mirror finish bronze version with a brown cage is available as well as the white and black versions. While Cage's black and white versions also suffuse spaces with a soft glow, the bronze diffuser retains its mirror effect and deflects the light, reflecting it totally downwards with its opaque white inner surface. It is available in two sizes which are especially suitable for group compositions.

Niagara University's "What's On Your Mind?" advertising campaign garnered a silver medal in a national competition of college and university marketing materials.
Niagara's 2012-13 advertising strategy earned the Collegiate Advertising Award among competing colleges with between 2,001 and 5,000 students.
"What's On Your Mind?" comprised a seven-part series of 15-second commercials that addressed critical issues students face when selecting a college. The spots were formatted in a manner that began with a student voicing his or her concern before concluding with an NU-related statistic that corresponded with the topic. Subjects included job placement, campus involvement, financial aid, and community service and study abroad opportunities.
"There are so many great stories here at Niagara, and it's great to be able to communicate these through our advertising vehicles," said Tom Burns, associate vice president for public relations, communications and marketing. "This is a great honor for the university, and our partners at Crowley Webb, and we look forward to continuing to tell the story of Niagara in our advertising."
Conceptualized by Crowley Webb, the commercials aired during strategically targeted programming in the Western New York, Rochester and Syracuse markets.
These spots were also tied into online advertising campaigns on sites such as Facebook, YouTube, SparkNotes and Pandora. In addition, the ads were featured prior to movie showings at Regal Cinemas throughout Western New York.
More than 700 entries from the U.S. and Canada were submitted in the CAA competition's multiple categories, designed to highlight communication, marketing and advertising initiatives. Panels of industry experts judged such criteria as creativity, layout and design, functionality, message effectiveness, production quality and overall appeal.
Silver Awards were granted for a score of 90-94, comprising the top 12 percent of the nation.

Nicole Richie: The Block & Training
The Block magazine in Canada has a great shoot featuring Nicole Richie on newsstands across the country now. LOVE this image of her in Burberry Prorsum. I also want that green Prada dress. Elianna Lev was the writer. I like this part of the interview:
While researching Nicole Richie as a designer, I asked my friends in the fashion industry, ranging from stylists to editors to shopkeepers, to tell me what they'd want to know from her first hand. The majority wrote back excitedly with nuanced questions to satisfy their own stylish curiosity: "How would she suggest I wear the Winter Kate Jezebelle jacket?" (It's up to the person wearing it to decide what works for them.) "Where does she source her fucking amazing vintage silks?" (All over, but mostly India.)
I explain to Richie how 99 percent of my fashion-focused friends were unabashedly excited about our interview and eager to contribute questions. "Well, what did that other one per cent have to say?" she asks, sounding the teeniest bit wounded.
They need approval. Always.
Click here for more info on The Block.
Anyway, here's Nicole leaving the gym yesterday. As noted last week, she's been hitting it hard lately. It's good. She looks good. Healthy. And not the LeAnn Rimes kind of healthy. Those days are supposed to be in Nicole's past.
Since we're on the subject of fitness, am also attaching pictures of Emma Stone at pilates yesterday. And, per your emails, what I'll be doing while you're reading this. I've written this article to post when I'll be training with Hayley. It's our last session before I leave tomorrow for Toronto, then Barbados on Friday. I know it's going to be a brutal ass-kicker when she sends me my workout BEFORE I do it. It's because she wants to psyche me up.
Thank you, again, for all your messages for Hayley. She's been writing back to everyone with personalised plans and sometimes that takes time. A lot of common themes are emerging though. And once we figure out how to present that information – soon – we'll get it up for the blog.
Anyway, hopefully by this sentence, I'll be halfway through or almost finished:

Thousands race for the cure in Estero
ESTERO: More than 10,000 runners and walkers gathered at Coconut Point Mall in Estero Saturday morning for the fifth annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.
Organizers say more than $900,000 was raised, with nearly 400 teams participating in the event.
Some raced for their friends, others for themselves – all in the name of fighting breast cancer.
"This is my first experience; it's very exciting," said Judy Graskoski, who walked the 5K race with 15 of her friends.
Grakoski was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1996 and went through year-long treatments of radiation and chemotherapy.
"Worst part about it was being bald. It wasn't pleasant at all," she said.
The Punta Gorda resident was able to find a lump in her breast by conducting a self exam - something she's thankful she did 14 years ago.
"It's surreal almost. You think, 'This can't be happening to me,'" she said.
But it does happen.
An estimated one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer every year. That's why Komen Executive Director Miriam Ross says self exams and mammograms are important for all women.
"We fund treatment, screening, and the key is also education early detection absolutely saves lives," she said.
Graskoski's women's club raised $1,000 for research. Other teams raised upwards of $23,000, helping the Southwest Florida campaign exceed its goal of $900,000.
"Women power really makes a big difference," said participant Suzanne Evans.
It's a difference that helped Graskoski reach the finish line.
"It's like it never happened. Thank God," she said.

Hi all developers,
I discovered Jaangle 5 days ago and i'm enthusiastic :) and suggest two features:
1) When adding directory music to collection, a flag to "relative paths" in music database. For easy support to music collections on USB device. When Jaangle and music folders are on USB device, no matter to drive letter :)
I have a little VBS script that update entire database to replace wrong unit letters (replace I.E. "m:\" with "e:\" in all rows in all tables). Some native support for this can be nice.
I think also to placeholder like #CURRENT_DRIVE#\music\etc or #MyDriveLabel#\music\collection other than "fixed" paths like e:\music\etc in database table.
2) Options to limit each song's duration. This can be good for discover music collection. Actually I use a small AutoIt script that send "{MEDIA_NEXT}" key every $duration seconds, cycled for $NumberSongsToPlay :)
Thanks for your good work.

I was also not incredibly fond of Bastion's gameplay-- everything else was neat, but it didn't click with me as a game. The music and art direction for Transistor are much more in line with my tastes. Plus, it has a female protagonist that doesn't look like a sex object. Woohoo!
Seriously though, Logan Cunningham confirmed his involvement in a vocal capacity too, so hurrah for deep-voiced people.
Between this, the new Shadowrun, and Cyberpunk by CD Projekt Red, futuristic RPGs are looking good. And with Soul Hackers to whet my appetite... I'm drooling right here!

WASHINGTON – Olie Kolzig left the Washington Capitals on less-than-ideal terms after nearly two decades as a popular and productive goalie. Clearly, that rift is a thing of the past.
The man known as "Olie the Goalie" returned to the Capitals on Thursday as their associate goaltender coach. The team also announced that Dave Prior will come back in his past old role of director of goaltending and NHL goaltender coach.
"Time heals all wounds," Kolzig said on a conference call with reporters. "The more I was removed from a few years ago and being retired and getting a better perspective on things … you realize it's a business and things were handled in a business fashion."
Kolzig played with the Capitals from 1989-2008 and holds most team goalie records, including 711 games played, 301 wins and 35 shutouts. He was a two-time NHL all-star while with the Capitals and won the 2000 Vezina Trophy for the league's top goalie.
But at the trade deadline during the 2007-08 season, the Capitals acquired Cristobal Huet, who became the team's No. 1 goalie, supplanting Kolzig during the stretch run that put Washington into the playoffs. Kolzig wasn't pleased by the demotion and he left during the following off-season.
"You move on," Kolzig said, adding that he spent time with team owner Ted Leonsis and general manager George McPhee at a convention for Capitals fans last year.
"There's no ill will toward each other."
He was a teammate of some current Capitals, including captain Alex Ovechkin, and said there will be a bit of an adjustment to his new job.
"Once I get in there, I'll have to remind myself I'm a coach now and not a player, and maybe back off some of the things I might have said as a player," Kolzig said.
While away, he kept tabs on his former club.
And Kolzig said he noticed some things while watching the Capitals make earlier-than-anticipated exits from the playoffs the past two years after finishing each regular season with the best record in the Eastern Conference.
"They have too much talent to not go further than they have," Kolzig said.
In 2009-10, when Washington won the Presidents' Trophy then lost in the first round to the eighth-seeded Montreal Canadiens, Kolzig said: "I think the big thing was they didn't have the killer instinct."
And this season, Kolzig explained, "I think they need to find a good balance of offence and defence."
He referred to Prior as "sort of a father-figure for me."
Prior was Washington's goaltending coach from the 1996-97 season to 2008-09.
He comes back in place of Arturs Irbe, whose departure was announced a week ago after two seasons coaching the Capitals' goalies.
McPhee said Prior "did a real good job for us there before" and that Kolzig was the "first one who came to mind" when it came to having someone else on staff.
As of now, the Capitals have three young goalies who potentially could be vying for playing time: Michal Neuvirth, Semyon Varlamov and Braden Holtby.
"My biggest advice would be, 'Play your game,'" Kolzig said.

Felon Killed After Crashing Harley into Squad Car
WINDOM (AP) - An armed motorcyclist who was fleeing from authorities in southwestern Minnesota was killed when he crashed his Harley head-on into a State Patrol squad.
The patrol said Monday 33-year-old Chad Danneman, of Slayton, was armed with a knife and had fled from Cottonwood and Murray County sheriff's deputies in separate pursuits Saturday.
Trooper Jeffery Stearns spotted Danneman on a county road northwest of Windom and activated his squad lights. The State Patrol says Danneman sped toward the squad and struck in head-on. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Trooper Stearns suffered minor injuries.
Danneman has prior convictions for making terrorist threats, felony drug possession, drunken driving and mistreatment of animals.

Swap space is the area on a hard disk as a part of the Virtual Memory of your machine.
Swap space temporarily holds inactive memory pages. Swap space is used when system needs physical memory for active processes or insufficient physical memory available.
If the system happens to need more memory resources or space, inactive pages in physical memory are then moved to the swap space therefore freeing up that physical memory for other uses. Note access to swap is slower and to physical memory.
A dedicated partition (recommended), a swap file, or a combination can be defined as swap space. Some recommends twice of physical memory. Nowadays, physical memories in new computers are fairly large, my experience is, half of physical memory is sufficient.
Here to show how to create a file system and assign it as as swap space (virtual swap partition).
First, create a 1000M swap file (eg with 2GB physical memory):
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swap_file bs=1M count=1000
You may adjust the file size as your desire. You can also put the swap_file in a different location if desired.
Next, secure the swapspace access, so ordinary users cannot read the contents:
sudo chown root:root /swap_file
sudo chmod 600 /swap_file
Then, asign it into swap space, and turn it on:
sudo mkswap /swap_file
sudo swapon /swap_file
Finally,make it turn on at every bootup, open up /etc/fstab:
sudo vi /etc/fstab
add this line to the end of the file:
/swap_file none swap sw 0 0

Wireshark is a free and open-source packet analyzer. It is used for network troubleshooting, analysis, software and communications protocol development, and education. Originally named Ethereal, in May 2006 the project was renamed Wireshark due to trademark issues.
The wireshark package has been split into the CLI version and GTK frontend, which depends on the CLI.
CLI version can be installed with the package wireshark-cli, available in the official repositories.
GTK frontend can be installed with the package wireshark-gtk, available in the official repositories.
Capturing as normal user
Running Wireshark as root is insecure.
Arch Linux uses
method from Wireshark wiki
to separate privileges. When wireshark-gtk is installed, install script sets
/usr/bin/dumpcap capabilities.
/usr/bin/dumpcap is the only process that has privileges to
capture packets.
/usr/bin/dumpcap can only be run by root and
members of the
wireshark group.
To use wireshark as a normal user, add user to the wireshark group:
# gpasswd -a "username" wireshark
Another way is to use sudo to temporarily change group to
wireshark. The following line allows all users in the wheel
group to run programs with GID set to wireshark GID:
%wheel ALL=(:wireshark) ALL
Then run wireshark with
$ sudo -g wireshark wireshark
A few capturing techniques
There are a number of different ways to capture exactly what you are looking for in Wireshark, by applying filters.
Filtering TCP packets
If you want to see all the current TCP packets, type
tcp into the "Filter" bar.
Filtering UDP packets
If you want to see all the current UDP packets, type
udp into the "Filter" bar.
Filter packets to a specific IP Address
- If you would like to see all the traffic going to a specific address, enter
ip.dst == 18.104.22.168, replacing
220.127.116.11with the IP address the outgoing traffic is being sent to.
- If you would like to see all the incoming traffic for a specific address, enter
ip.src == 18.104.22.168, replacing
184.108.40.206with the IP address the incoming traffic is being sent to.

"The carpet underfoot in homes sometimes ends up in strange places, and now [it's] landed in another unique spot – the cylinder head covers on some Ford engines." –Brett Hinds, manager, engine design for Ford Motor Co.
Here's a rather unique (and somewhat bizarre) recycling story – taking old carpet and turning it into engine cylinder head covers.
And not covers for some underpowered one-liter lawn mower engine, either – we're talking about cylinder head covers for the 3.0-liter Duratec engine powering Ford Motor Co.'s Fusion sedan and Escape sport utility vehicle (SUV), along with the big 5.0-liter monster found under the hood of Ford's new Mustang and F-150 pickup truck.
The stuff in question is called "EcoLon," a nylon resin made from 100% recycled carpet by Wellman Engineering Resins used as the raw material to craft cylinder head covers for Ford by Dana Holding Corp.
By using EcoLon within these engine models last year, Ford saved over 4.1 million pounds of carpet from landfills – the equivalent of nearly 154 football fields –saving more than 430,000 gallons of oil in the process as well.
[The video below from carpet maker Shaw Industries shows how old carpet is turned back into ready-to-use nylon that becomes the raw material for all sorts of other products, including, of course, new carpet.]
To repurpose nylon, Wellman grinds used nylon carpeting into fiber and recaptures the material through a patented, proprietary process. The resulting product is a high-quality nylon resin, which Dana then uses to mold into cylinder head covers through its injection-molding process.
"We didn't have to make compromises for this application," pointed out Roy Ford, engine sealing supervisor for Ford. "With a fixed raw material cost that delivers cost savings compared to oil, along with the green benefit, this application adds to the ways Ford is minimizing our impact on the environment."
Just goes to show you that you just never quite know what sustainability efforts will lead to – nor what kinds of products turn out to be excellent candidates for recycling.

The Quaker Studies minor offers students a framework within which they can engage in concentrated study of Quaker faith and practice, and thereby utilize to the fullest the rich resources in teaching and research on Quakerism available at Earlham College and the Earlham School of Religion (ESR). Some courses explore the development of Quaker religious thought. Others turn attention to the active service tradition of the Society of Friends.
The Program offers both introductory and advanced courses, and further work is possible by student request, through independent study and special seminars. The Quaker Studies minor does not presuppose a particular major. Instead, it is designed to meet the needs of students who want to know more about Quaker faith and practice irrespective of any specific professional or academic pursuits.
Students in this program engage with the Newlin Center for Quaker Thought and Practice.

Pony Express Rodeo judged best in five midwestern states
Jared Slagle named announcer of year.
Putting on the Pony Express Rodeo each year involves tons of work by the Gothenburg Roping Club and other volunteers.Last weekend, those efforts were rewarded when the local rodeo was named "Rodeo of the Year" by the Mid-States Rodeo Association (M-SRA) at the association's finals rodeo in Lincoln.
Local rodeo chairman Jared Slagle was also named announcer of the year by the association and by the Nebraska State Rodeo Association earlier this month.
Slagle said the Gothenburg rodeo has never received rodeo-of-the-year accolades from the M-SRA.
"It means a lot to all of the great people that have helped make the rodeo possible for so many years, from the people that started it many years ago and have kept it going, to the hardworking volunteers on the committee today," Slagle said.
Slagle said the community has supported the rodeo through volunteerism and financial support.
"And of course the fans," he said.
More than 50 rodeos across Nebraska, Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa and Kansas make up the M-SRA membership which voted on both awards.
Slagle said he believes the first Pony Express Rodeo was in 1990.
Three years ago, the roping club elected a new board. Slagle said the rodeo has seen a 40% increase in attendance.
"We've tripled our prize money which has attracted contestants from all over the country," he said. "We've become one of the largest rodeos in the state by the numbers of entries and have brought in world-class rodeo entertainment and clowns."
With help from the Rotary After Dark organization, a beer garden and rodeo dance have been added.
Slagle noted that the roping club has also put a new roof on the concessions building and erected a new roping club sign.
More improvements are on the horizon such as a portable set of bleachers that can be used at the rodeo grounds and at various events throughout the community.
He said the roping club also wants to install new fencing, pens, a new crow's nest for announcers and upgrade electricity.
New events in 2014 could include an All Women's Ranch Rodeo and possibly new youth events, Slagle said.
Currently, the grounds host the yearly rodeo, 4-H clubs and monthly jackpot barrel racings.
In addition to awards received by the roping club and Slagle, several local contestants placed at the M-SRA Finals Rodeo.
Marci Barlett was runner-up in barrel racing at finals and won $2,176. She ended up third in M-SRA standings by winning $9,241 the past year.
John Bartlett finished the season fourth in standings in the 45 and older division in tie-down roping.
Austin Jarvis was second at finals in bull riding and ended the year seventh in M-SRA standings.
M-SRA members compete in more than 50 rodeos throughout the summer to qualify for the finals.

I have a suggestion to make regarding the structure of Textkit forums. I'm not sure how relevant this is given the idea of migrating to the the other format (is that still happening and when?), but I will give it a shot anyway.
Basically all that I want to suggest is further sub-forums. Basically, it seems that once you go into "Learn Ancient Greek" for instance, that there could be further sub-forums. I think this because it seems that the list of topics is really a mix of a lot of things, and many of the same questions come up over and over again. I know that even if you have a faq or stickies answering those questions, people will still ask them. On the other hand, it might make the forums both more readable and enjoyable. I can see that there would be disadvantages as well. For instance the older members might tend to gravitate to more specific forums and leave beginner questions to languish. I can also imagine that some might find the structure confusing, or more confusing at least.
None the less, a suggestion for the type of sub-structure that might help would be something like
--Current Publications/Reference Materials
--Reading (question of interpretation or criticism)
I don't think this change is desperately needed, but it sometimes feels that the discussions are a little random, depending on what provokes them, and often the topics that are on the top page of the forum seem disconnected, and are often repeated precisely because previous versions are quickly pushed off the page. It seems to me that some more organizations would allow discussion to develop more by providing more structure. Farmers and gardeners don't sow seeds all mixed together. They group the kinds of plants.
Anyway, this is certainly not to suggest that there isn't a lot of discussion or content on this site. Just that deeper discussions might result from such organization.

A dealer satisfaction survey carried out by What Car? and JD Power has revealed the best and worst when it comes to the nation's main car dealers. The results are based on the feedback of nearly 15,000 customers in the annual JD Power Vehicle Satisfaction Study who had used their dealership within the last 12 months.
The survey asked customers to rate dealerships in several areas, including the ease of making an appointment, staff courtesy, quality of explanation, ease of access, parking convenience, punctuality of collection process, charging facilities, quality of work and the condition of the car on return.
Only car makers with more than 100 respondents were included in the results. So, from worst to best, here they are:
27. Chevrolet
Customer satisfaction score: 71.5%

Does someone have any ideas for me? Help extremely EXTREMELY appreciated!
BTW I only get lucid when I try to fly-which has become instinct when I dream-and fail. When I don't fail I remain non lucid. (???)
And when I have nightmares, I scream that this is a dream just to make it stop, but remain non-lucid. Example:
"I want to show you something" my sister said and immediately I knew it would be scary. A ghastly monster appeared. It had neon indigo blue skin with neon white cracks and drips - like avatar stripe things - all over it. Its mouth was a gaping hole and its eyes were a mixture of neon blue and white mixed together - no pupil, nothing. With arms out front, it came to get me. I was terrified. I tried to run through the pool of water inside the cave but knew it was hopeless. I splashed water at it helplessly. "You're a dream, this is a dream, stop it! It's a dream! It's a dream! It's a f*cking DREAM!" I screamed at it out of pure desperation. In one moment, the neon cracks, light, gaping hole for a mouth, and freaky eyes disappeared. It became a human-type girl, smaller than average people, with blue skin and black eyes.We became immediate friends.
Yeah I trick my dreams into thinking I'm lucid a lot.
I've never met anyone with ADD before, so I really don't know what can help you.
Do you have anything that helps you concentrate? A person or a thing? If so you could try summoning them into your LD and make them/it help you concentrate in the matter.
That's really all I can say because I don't know much about the ADD.

Seems like a good idea! I have a couple of things I can concentrate on Thanks loads that helps!

Motto Wins New Beverage Showdown 5, Will Enter Kroger Stores
It was feedback time when Kelly Marlowe, a judge for New Beverage Showdown 5 from the online grocer Fresh Direct, noticed an oddity on Motto's bottle: shake well. To Marlowe, this seemed out of place for a carbonated beverage like Motto, a matcha green tea. She didn't want to do it at the judges table, so she asked Motto co-founders Henry Crosby and Tom Olcott to shake the bottle onstage. Before they could respond, their time was up. Saved by the gong.
They not only survived Marlowe's tough question; they braved the field of 21 and won the showdown's first place, granting them a $5,000 jumbo check (game show style), an automatic entry into select Kroger retail locations, and the less tangible rewards of this competition: exposure and pride.
How did Motto top the other brands that participated?
"That's something that Tom and I are in the process of discussing," Crosby said. "The victory is still very fresh."
The judges evaluated the brands on concept, taste, packaging, function, market readiness, innovation and the "it" factor.
Crosby and Olcott said that they've always favored simplicity in packaging. As is the case with most young brands with minimal funds, the packaging serves as the primary marketing tool. It delivers the message of the brand and the beverage. They continue to discuss how they can remove unnecessary details from the packaging, which still drew some criticism from the judges, as evidenced by Marlowe's reaction.
"Healthy things are simple things," Olcott said. "When you overcomplicate something, you start to move away from your original goal of health and wellness."
Motto claims to be the first bottled beverage that delivers the health benefits of matcha green tea, a potent source of antioxidants. It also uses apple cider vinegar for its cleansing properties, honey and organic agave as a sweetener and lemon juice to brighten the beverage and contribute to the flavor.
Koa, an organic water that blends nine juices and goes for a suggested retail price of $3.99, came in second place. The judges liked Koa's taste and packaging, but didn't know how to categorize it and also disapproved of the price point. Green Mustache, a beverage marketed toward kids about 2 to 5 years old with a $4.99 suggested retail price, came in third place. The judges thought that while this product has some tasty flavors, it could suffer from its consumers quickly growing out of its appeal.
"The sophistication level and the maturity of people's thinking has really come a long way," said Matthew Mitchell, another judge and the director of strategic initiatives for Venturing & Emerging Brands Group, Coca-Cola, Co.
Soon Motto will be tested by Kroger's expansive footprint and its desire to expand its natural beverage options to meet demand.
"It's hard to process right away actually," Olcott said.

SAUCIER, Miss. (AP) – Jeff Sluman watched Fred Couples make six birdies in a row in the morning.
He did his best imitation in the afternoon.
Sluman birdied five of the final seven holes for an 8-under 64 in the second round Saturday to climb into a tie for the lead with Couples in the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic.
"It was a difficult day, but I just hit the ball very well,'' Sluman said. "I was never in any major trouble and I hit a lot of greens.''
Most of the players had to finish their first rounds early Saturday morning before the second round began. Sluman was paired with Couples during the early morning golf as Couples ripped off six straight birdies to end his first round and finish with a course-record 63.
"You see a guy make six birdies in a row, what it says to you is if you hit quality shot like that, maybe it will happen to you,'' Sluman said.
Then he grinned.
"I certainly didn't think it was actually going to happen,'' he added.
Sluman didn't quite match Couples' amazing finish, but he came close. Now the two will duel in the final round Sunday.
Couples wasn't quite as sharp in the second round, but 70 in the second round kept him in a good position for his first Champions Tour title this year and the seventh of his career.
Couples is coming off an eighth-place tie Sunday in Newport Beach. He's scheduled to play the PGA Tour's Houston Open and the Masters the next two weeks.
"I played very scrappy this afternoon,'' Couples said. "To get under par was a good score. It would have been nice to shoot 5-under or something, but that wasn't going to happen. I felt very mediocre.''
Maybe the most intriguing story was the 7-under 65 shot by Jim Thorpe, the 63-year-old who is playing his best golf since serving a year in prison on tax evasion charges. He was released in April of last year and is now just two shots behind the leaders.
Couples was 3 under through 12 holes on Friday before the round was suspended because of darkness. He birdied his final six holes early Saturday morning for a one-stroke lead.
Couples' run of birdies was even more remarkable considering the 52-year-old had never even seen Fallen Oak before the first round. He had planned to play in Thursday's pro-am, but the event was canceled after the course was soaked by several inches of rain. There was so much water, he couldn't even practice.
"That was totally unexpected,'' Couples said. "Everything went great.''
Couples had 10 birdies and one bogey in his first round.
Course conditions were nearly perfect for low scores in the morning after soaking rains at Fallen Oak earlier in the week pushed the opening round tee times back more than four hours.
The second round proved more of a challenge for just about everyone. The drier course proved less forgiving and occasional wind gusts of up to 15 mph made shots less predictable.
But Sluman maneuvered through the course without many problems. He also got a few big breaks – such as a 50-foot putt that dropped for birdie on No. 8.
"Those are the things that sometimes break a round like this,'' Sluman said.
Sluman is in the final group at Fallen Oak for the second straight year. The 54-year-old tied for second last year behind Tom Lehman.

First 2 columns are 3 green 2 green 1 green pattern, but column three is doing its own thing
This is rubbish (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33560578)
eidt: far left(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33560624)
They are moving diagonally down and left(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33560640)
read it in rows, as I said above(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33560729)
[max quantity of green in row] - [2nd largest quantity of green in row] = [min quantity of green in row]
so there would have to be two green boxes in the solution
this might jump through too many hoops though(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33560949)
What's the answer(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33561015)
spill the beans OP(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33563376)
if you look at it by row...all the green blocks are limited to just two of the lines with the largest amount of green blocks on a different line than the other blocks. So that leaves B and D as the remaining options.
Between those two D makes more sense because in each of the previous series the sum of each row equal each other (i.e., in the first series there are 3 blocks total on the top line and 3 blocks total on the second line).
Correct answer is D. HTH.(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33563669)
If the pattern is coincidence it's a shitty question.(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33563806)
edit: this is really bothering me there is no discernible pattern (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33563952)
both columns and rows have two grids where the green blocks add up to the max green block grid in that column/row, so answer has to be a two green block entry - leaves A or D
none of the columns have green blocks on the same row
all of the rows have two grids with green blocks on the same row, and one grid with green on a different row
only one satisfying both criteria is A
also it says "next in the sequence" - these are the only rules I can see that work both from top to bottom and left to right. the ppl saying D are only solving for the rows(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33563969)
Row 1: Column B and column C have green squares in the middle level. The sum of green squares in column B and C is three, and column A has 3 green squares on a higher level (top).
Row 2: Column B and column C have green squares in the bottom level. The sum of green squares in column B and C is two, and column A has 2 green squares on a higher level (middle).
Row 3: Column B has three squares on the highest level, so column A and C must, together, have three green squares on the same level. Column A has one green square on the bottom level, so we need two more green squares on the bottom level. That's D.(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33564080)
why should row 3 be different?(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33564235)
It's not column B + C = column A.
It's: column with the most green = column with less green + other column with less green. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33564254)
look at it by columns:
column A: bottom + middle = top on a different row
column B: middle + top = bottom on a different row
column C: top + middle = 2 squares on a different row(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33564282)
This leaves A and D as possible answers because the grid must have 2 green squares. Well also in every row (not column), the 2 grids with the fewest amount of green squares have their green squares on same row. That leaves D.(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33564176)
I don't think any other possible box combo would leave a pattern.(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33564237)
There definitely seems to be a summing pattern. As you go horizontally and vertically, there's a definite "bigger number and two addition partners" pattern. 3=2+1 and 2=1+1. So that means it's 2 green squares.
When you go horizontally, it seems to be that the left box has the green squares in one row, and the second two boxes have the green squares in a different (but same as each other) row. When you go vertically, the green squares are each in a different row. Both of those patterns are matched by A.
Edit: At first I thought D b/c then the 1 and 2 green boxes are on the same squares, but it wouldn't match the vertical pattern of them all being in different rows. If that makes sense.(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33564413)
it's two squares because reading left to write in rows, you have 3-2=1, 2-1=1, and 1-3=2 (absolute value), so between A and D
2nd and 3rd columns are the same horizontal position, so A(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3647923&forum_id=2#33564516)
Then the third row is randomly just square 1 + square 3 = square 2.
There are arguable reasons against D and *for* other choices.
This is a dogshit "Iq test" that probably cane out of a cereal box.

oh man dude those are two of my favorite bands ever. the first two Mercyful Fate albums, Melissa and Don't Break the Oath, are absolute metal canon in my book. People's mileage varies with later stuff but to me In the Shadows is totally in the same class as those earlier two and Time is pretty fucking great; the first two songs on it are among my favorite MF songs ever, especially "Angel of Light," all-time jam right there.
According to me every Death album is worth getting but which ones you like best will vary according to what it is you like about them. Human was the first proper death metal album I ever heard so that was my entry; it's when they're starting to get really proggy/tech-y. Still love that and Symbolic best I think. But the earlier ones, Spiritual Healing, Leprosy, and Scream Bloody Gore, those are all good, too - there's more audible bridges between those & thrash imo, whereas when you get to Human, they're becoming a band who are sort of off in their own world, which is how Chuck's been described to me by people who were in the Tampa scene at the time - he just did his own thing, was sort of apart from the scene.

really good rundown on the Death discography at the band's website - explains the various lineups. Human is basically Chuck S. & the guys from Cynic, which at that time in metal history is to my ears a pretty perfect meeting of minds

yeah, pretty breakneck prog though - the speed never lets up. the next one, individual thought patterns, features Andy LaRoque - guitarist from the King Diamond band! Do read that linked rundown, it's really a great concise history.

Hey also check out the Mercyful Fate EP (included on "The Beginning") too cause that's got some classic jams. When I didn't really care for King's voice that was the record that kind of eased me into their style.

Finally got to see Yob last night. Well worth the wait of years for Nate to book a date on a weekend within 200 miles of me.
I think the biggest surprise to me was not how incredibly heavy they got on occasion, but how often they grooved like hell as they amped up from the glacial segments. The rhythm section doesn't exactly swing, but the have a fine lock groove that isn't as apparent on record. Mike was also in fine voice, effortlessly going from a growl to a screeching howl to a clean melodic tone.
If they weren't the best live band I've seen in recent years it's only because Ludicra were so damn good.

My first Rhapsody metal roundup of 2012. (Caveats: [1] I only really "recommend" the top three; [2] two albums technically came out in 2011; [3] six reviews were written by other people.)
Otherwise, have been totally immersing myself in Small Stone Records stuff from the past few years. Surprised by how much I'm liking a lot of it.

Also, fwiw, I like the Devil's Blood album as much as any of those, but Rhapsody doesn't seem to be carrying it (at least not yet), and I like Christian Mistress even more than Devil's Blood but it's not out yet. Iron Fire and Steel Wing, both of which I actually reviewed, would have been in the Top 5 of that roundup if I was allowed to include them, but they're for-sale-only (no streaming), which makes them off-limits for Roundups/Staff Picks/etc. And Orange Goblin would've been in the top 5, too, but it came out too late; will save that for next time.

Been going in the metal room with frobisher viceroy and sean wayne during the day (when noones in outloud) and its kinda funny seeing what the almost real world listens to. Kids especially think metal should be fast otherwise its 'not metal'. Not 'not my think' or 'crap' but 'not metal. But the same kids listen to bullet for my valentine ,Avenged sevenfold , emmure or trivium, one of whom said while Mercyful Fate was on 'this isn't metal'. And smithy,it was the few people into Isis and Boris who were the ones who sprung to the kings defence!
Main stuff played in there is Slayer/slipknot/maiden/ozzy/sabbath/pantera/lamb of god/opeth/meshuggah/Death/Carcass/machine head/sepultura and Megadeth. plus the underground stuff but the main acts i mentioned get played and the same tracks get voted up as soon as theyve finished. Mainstream metal songs seem to be a small gene pool in there.As i said metalcore gets played but is frowned upon. But there really is a big gap between the 16 year olds into metalcore/deathcore and the actual metalheads (there's no hipster metallers in there apart from us 3 ilxors!! haha).
Anyway irl do you guys come across kids into just the same stuff as i mentioned or do any listen to black/death/doom/grind/thrash? or even what you term as hipster metal?

The thing that most surprises me is that mainstream metallers, who are not kids, but guys in their 20s , don't listen to either a) a varied amount of genres and b) a lot of bands instead they listen to the same dozen or so that everyone else does. I thought with the internet and choice they would be devouring more music but it doesn't seem to be the case. And many of them say they only listen to metal - modern mainstream and classic (ie slayer,metallica,megadeth and 90s - yes 90s is classic era now). So it's not like they are listening to other music so have less time for other metal bands.

I was listening to the Christian Mistress album this weekend and discussing it with my wife (who is not particularly into metal, though she'll put up with certain bands), and the more I listen to it the more it seems symptomatic of lowered standards on metal bloggers' part. The obvious hook with CM is their "classicism," i.e. they sound like a band from the late '70s or early '80s, but here's the thing: they don't sound like a good band from the late '70s or early '80s. They sound like a third-tier act of that era, destined to permanent opening-act status and wholly unlikely to get signed and get the polishing-up that Judas Priest or Iron Maiden underwent. And yet in 2012, they not only got signed, they're getting the big push...this also-ran band is what everyone's panting over at the moment. Shouldn't we demand better? Isn't it about more than having the right amps and pedals? Shouldn't we want bands to be able to write a decent song, or put across a vocal with real power? The CM singer just isn't that good - her voice is basically a flat bark with a tiny dash of bluesy grit. Fine, you don't like tech-death or deathcore or djent or whatever other ultra-cyborgy thing seems dominant at the moment. But overpraising every retro thing that comes along doesn't help. And yes, I admit I liked them for a little while. But their album was just one of dozens, across multiple genres (metal, jazz, electronic stuff) I checked out in the course of a given week, and diminishing returns set in hard after the third or fourth listen.

I respectfully disagree with your thesis. At least to my ears, I've discovered more pockets of awesomeness in the record the more I listened to it.

well they got signed to an indie metal label, one which afaic has about the same relationship with the mainstream as the labels which put out the quote-unquote third-tier acts 30 years ago

|EWTN Catholic Q&A
Question from michele taylor on 11-29-2012:
I am curious to know what the Church has to say about the book, The Shack. I have not read the book but I might. This all depends on what the Church says about the book. I have read reviews and there seems to be about the same number of critics of the book as proponents of the book. 45KRY
|Answer by Fr. John Echert on 12-04-2012:
I am intrigued by the title, since I am writing this post from what I call "The Shack," which is my 8 x 12 foot shack in my remote woods of Minnesota, but after reading a few descriptions online of the book by that name, I cannot recommend it. Here is a review and description of the book; while not by anyone I know or a Catholic, if at all accurate, it would theologically argue against reading it. Thanks, Michele Father Echert
Thanks, Michele
