5-Story Structure to House Classrooms, Banquet Facilities and Luxury Space for Student-Centered Initiatives Architecturally attractive, striking and intimate are the adjectives to describe the new 5-story, 127,000 square foot D'Angelo Center that was unveiled yesterday at St. John's University's Queens campus. The building was officially dedicated and named after Peter and Peg D'Angelo and their family, who both serve as esteemed alumni and longstanding benefactors of St. John's University.
Photo Gallery The estimated $77 million brick-and-stone structure will feature state-of-the art technology, including the latest version of the technology podium, 14 classrooms, 6 seminar rooms, student recreation and entertainment space, a café and full-service cafeteria, and student organization offices. In addition, the building is being constructed according to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards and includes many energy-saving mechanical/electrical systems, and will house a new Board Room, spacious lobby/living room and banquet facilities.
"The D'Angelo Center will serve as the centerpiece of the University's teaching and learning environment, enhancing opportunities for student engagement and enriching both curricular and co-curricular activities," said Rev. Donald J. Harrington, C.M., President of St. John's University. "I know that I speak for our University in expressing gratitude to Peter and Peg for their generosity and for their commitment to the future of St. John's."
St. John's commissioned artist Joseph Jaroff to create a symbolic torch sculpture to crown the top of the new D'Angelo Center, enhancing both the academic and social life of the campus. The iconic flame, which connects metaphorically to both the eternal light of knowledge and Christian theology, honors the University as a beacon of higher learning and its historically Catholic roots. Designed to glint in the sunlight, the twelve and a half foot high sculpture will be gilded with over one hundred square feet of gold-leafing, and rise out of a hammered bronze base similar to a classic Olympic-style caldron. The flame will rest inside a 144-foot tower that marks the highest point on the St. John's University Queens campus.
Complementing the existing campus buildings, the D'Angelo Center has been designed to enhance both the living and the learning experiences at St. John's.
The realization hit home with Peter D'Angelo as he sat and listened to speeches during the dedication ceremony contemplating the enormity of the event and how this day would hold a special place in St. John's history.
"When Fr. Harrington made the comment that our family name will be associated with St. John's forever, I think that is when the permanence of this building hit me," said Mr. D'Angelo. "It is quite an honor and we are proud of the association." Complementing the existing campus buildings, the D'Angelo Center has been designed to enhance both the living and the learning experiences at St. John's. Its academic tower will serve as the highest point of any current building structure located on the Queens campus. "This new state-of-the-art structure will provide our students – residential and commuter – with both an enhanced learning environment and an enriched student life," said James P. Pellow, Ed.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at St. John's University. "In erecting the new D'Angelo Center, we've transformed the Queens campus into a vibrant and active residential and commuter university, where students from across the country and around our world join New Yorkers in developing both life-long skills and life-long friendships." Located between Sullivan Hall and Taffner Field House, the D'Angelo Center will complete the fourth side of a second, smaller University Quadrangle (the buildings around The Great Lawn form the first), which will be bordered on the other three sides by Marillac, St. Augustine and St. Albert Halls. The resultant "quad" will be fully landscaped to further enhance the University's Sustainability initiative.
"Peg and I truly believe in the St. John's mission. That is why we are happy to support this university as they help students achieve their goals," said Mr. D'Angelo. "This building will be a teaching tool just like books or computers. It is state-of-the-art and will provide the setting in which professor's will give their students the education that they are seeking."
Peter and Peg D'Angelo are proud St. John's alumni who have continued to support alma mater long after graduation. Peter received his M.B.A. from the College of Business Administration, and Peg is a graduate of The School of Education. Peter serves as President of Caxton Associates, one of the world's largest hedge fund operators. Currently the firm manages over $9 billion in assets. Together Peg and Peter are extraordinarily generous benefactors of our University. Providing the organ for St. Thomas More Church and endowing the D'Angelo Chair in the Humanities are just two examples of the many ways in which they have helped to make St. John's stronger and better. Recently Peter and Peg made another very substantial gift, evidence of their enduring commitment to our mission and our ongoing efforts to enhance the collegiate experience of our students. In addition, Peter serves on the University's Board of Trustees, chairs its Fiscal Resource Management Committee, and serves on the Executive, Nominating, Facilities, and Investment Committees. St. John's conferred an honorary Doctor of Commercial Science degree on him in 2006. Peg served as Chair of the Centennial Leadership Committee for The School of Education's 100th Anniversary and this year received the President's Medal. Peter and Peg together were actively involved in the University's recently completed capital campaign, serving on both the National and Executive Campaign Committees.
"The D'Angelo Center represents the newest phase in our unwavering efforts to provide students and faculty with the finest of educational facilities," said Robert Wile, Vice President, Chief of Staff and Chief Advancement Officer at St. John's University. Media representatives interested in obtaining information regarding the D'Angelo Center can contact Dominic Scianna, Assistant Vice President for Media Relations by calling (718) 990-6185 or e-mailing inquiries to firstname.lastname@example.com.

I want to initially build an RP, but you play as YOU. Its as if it was OOC but its the IC too! Wooaaa. You can have a secret identity picture, but initially you just be yourself. We will live in a big house and practically get to do whatever, but you are yourself. This is just a fun way to simulate what it would be like to live in a house of strangers, there arent many rules to apply to this RP, I wont even say you cant fight with one another, but the drama will be limited of some point. Its for you if youre lonely in the real world, to come enjoy the company of people in our home together. Maybe even become friends outside of the RP.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. :3
I honestly think this would be a lot of fun.

Must Go! Awesome movie by srazo155 This movie is great, way better than inception. I would highly recommend it to everyone, you will not be disappointed. This is one of my top 5 favorite movies...
75 Movie Nation | Roger Moore Writer-director Jaco Van Dormael ("Toto the Hero") spins flashbacks and time-lapse photography, stunning montages, whirling, circling cameras and stunning underwater, deep space and Martian landscape photography into a film that is as intentionally opaque as it is overlong.

60 Variety | Boyd van Hoeij Though a lot of it is well written and directed and, quite often, funny or poignant, the individual scenes rarely become part of a larger whole. Read full review
50 The Globe and Mail (Toronto) | Jennie Punter An ambitious, if uneven, experimental sci-fi romance that is less a thought-provoker than a dazzling juggling act. Read full review

Prior to the publication of her fourth novel, Kindred, Octavia Butler was primarily known only to fans of science fiction. While her first three novels—all part of the "Patternmaster" series—received favorable reviews, her work was marginalized as genre fiction. Since the 1979 publication of Kindred, however, Butler's work is known to a wider audience.
The novel focuses on many of the issues found in Butler's fiction: the abuse of power, the limits of traditional gender roles, and the repercussions of racial conflict. The science-fiction elements of the story are limited, however, to the unexplained mechanism that permits a twentieth-century African American woman to travel into the past. Each time Dana Franklin is drawn back into the early 1800s to save the life of her white ancestor, she learns more about the complex nature of slavery and the struggles of African Americans to survive it. The result is a powerful and accessible story that resembles a historical slave narrative—but one told from a modern perspective and in a modern voice.
Butler's exploration of this era has led many new readers to discover her work, from feminist critics to students of African American Literature. These individuals have learned what fans of science fiction have long known: Butler crafts some of the most imaginative and thought-provoking fiction today. "In Kindred," Robert Crossley wrote in his introduction to the novel, "Octavia Butler has designed her own underground railroad between past and present whose terminus is the reawakened imagination of the reader."

When Sandy slammed into the East Coast on Monday, it set into motion a tight timeline for election officials: one week to ensure that voters in states from Virginia to New Hampshire would be able cast their ballots on Election Day.
But power outages, flooding and snow left in the storm's wake could make that impossible for voters in some of the hardest-hit states.
Some fire stations, schools, community centers and other venues that serve as polling places will have to be cleaned up if they were flooded or damaged.
Other polling spots may need to be relocated if they are too damaged to be used. Voting machines may have to be dropped off at some polling places with election officials gambling that power will be restored there by Tuesday.
Many electronic voting machines -- used now by two out of every five counties nationwide, according to the Voting Technology Project -- often require consistent power to work for the long hours they are needed on Election Day, even though some have battery power.
If electricity remains out in some areas next Tuesday, those areas may have to scramble to find alternatives, including paper ballots.
It is unlikely voters in the hardest hit states will be given an extension if they cannot access polls, despite damage from the storm.
Only Congress can change Election Day, according to an 1845 law. If it opts to alter the timetable -- something never previously done -- every state would have to be included.
The same law also says that if a state "shall fail to make a choice" on Election Day, then electors to the Electoral College may be appointed on a "subsequent day" as determined by state law.
As state and county election officials throughout the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast work to coordinate logistics at polling stations scattered across Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, it is still unknown whether all voters in the states hardest hit by Sandy will have the opportunity to cast their ballots on Election Day.
New Jersey: 'We're not sure. At this point, we're looking at a lot of changes.' The biggest challenge for election officials in the Garden State are logistical: power outages, blocked roads and flooding, according to Dennis Kobitz, president of the New Jersey Association of Election Officials.
Election officials have been in touch on conference calls since the storm hit on Monday. On a call on Tuesday, election officials from Essex, Bergen and Union counties said electrical outages were the chief concern; in Ocean, Mercer and Monmouth counties, officials said their biggest obstacle was flooding.
Calls to election officials in these counties were not immediately returned.
Kobitz has had to scale back the number of polling locations in Union County because of power outages and access problems to some of the 190 polling locations.
"We would like to keep one to two polling places in each town," Kobitz said, because he doesn't like to force voters to travel long distances.
Delivering electronic voting machines from the county's warehouse to polling stations is also presenting a problem.
"Our biggest problem at this point is getting the machines to the polling places. Nobody's there to accept the machines," Kobitz said, noting that many of the them are locked and without power.
"Do I leave [the polling machines at the polling stations]?" Kobitz asked, frustrated with the unknown. "How do I take a chance that the schools will have power?"
"I can't just deliver 433 machines -- there's no way to do that in one day," he said.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker said he was confident that New Jersey residents would be able to cast ballots next week.
But he said he was focusing on emergency needs first, saying that there would be time to worry about voting.
"I'm sure that as Election Day gets closer, we're going to find ways to make sure that it's as functional as possible and people are able to vote," Booker told CNN's "Starting Point on Tuesday.
New York: Cards stacked against them
For election officials in Nassau County, New York, located on Long Island just east of Manhattan, the cards are stacked against them.
The county, which was declared a disaster area following Sandy's beating on Monday night, has experienced many of the same problems as the hardest-hit areas, including flooding and power outages.

sudo find /var/log/ -mtime -n -type f | xargs du -ch
n -> last modified n*24 hours ago
Numeric arguments can be specified as
+n for greater than n,
-n for less than n,
n for exactly n.
=> so 7*24 hours (about 7 days) is -7
sudo find /var/log/ -mtime -7 -type f | xargs du -ch | tail -n1
du only accepts lines ending with a NUL, which can be a pain to create. This solves that issue.
This allows the output to be sorted from largest to smallest in human readable format.
This command produces the output of "du -sk testfile" in every 10 seconds. You can change the command to be whatever you want.
OSX's BSD version of the du command uses the -d argument instead of --max-depth.
Useful for analyzing disk usage. If you prefer GUI try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filelight or http://www.marzocca.net/linux/baobab/
When you've got a list of numbers each on its row, the ECHO command puts them on a simple line, separated by space. You can then substitute the spaces with an operator. Finally, pipe it to the BC program.

The emerging employment trend focuses on STEM jobs – those involving science, technology, engineering and math. While Oklahoma has made significant strides, it still lags behind the nation in the percentage of residents who have attained post-secondary education, especially in the STEM related fields. Recent census data shows 85 percent of Oklahomans over the age of 25 have a high school diploma. However, only 22.7 percent of that same demographic have completed a college degree. The earning power and opportunities available to college graduates far outweigh that of high school graduates. In 2010, the unemployment rate for those with a bachelor's degree was half that of high school graduates and their lifetime earnings surpass those without any level of post-secondary education by more than $1 million. If a policy goal is to produce more college graduates to meet workforce demands, raise per capita incomes and increase the quality of life of our citizenry, then policymakers must address the obstacles to achieving that goal. That is why the Oklahoma College Savings Plan tax deduction was signed into law by Governor Frank Keating.

LAS VEGAS (AFP) - Automakers and technology firms are jumping on the bandwagon of the driverless car, which remains a concept as well as a platform for new technologies to improve safety on the road.

This is nothing like what the picture displays. We are returning it. A big disapointment. No grab bars on it and weld marks are sloppy. Could have been better for the price.
Overall |
This 6 pack rack fit very well on my raptor 660. It comes with all the hardware and parts to install. If your looking for a 6 pack rack this is the one for you. I know some people were complaining about the 6 pack rack bolts coming loose, but I had a stock 6 pack rack on my 660 (Before I flipped it at Glamis) and I had that same problem. It is a common problem with 6 pack racks. Before I go out riding for a weekend I just double check to make sure the bolts are tight therefore not having any problems with them.
Overall |
bought this for my 06 kow kfx 400 easy fit, heavy duty. Looks like its going to work real good.
Overall |
I bought the AC racing cooler rack for my Raptor 700. I do a lot of trail riding in Wa. I bought the black one, and after three times of riding paint has started to flake off. It also came loose. If you really want it buy your own bolts and lock washers and have lock tight ready.
Overall |
This rack is not a very good product. The rack comes loose from my Raptor 700 all the time despite using thread locker, the bolts provided are also too short. I have also noticed the rack has bent down just from the weight of the contents of the small ice chest the rack accomodates. It also blocks the tail light and the tail light relocation bracket is worthless. Buy the ProArmor cooler rack instead it's a much better product.
Overall |
i have an 03 z400 and ordered this product and it looks nothing like the picture..doesnt even look like an ac built it
Overall |
I bought this for my raptor 660. Every time I ride it gets loose and flops up and down. I have even tried drilling holes all the way through the frame to attach bolts and nuts to secure the rack. No Luck!
Overall |
its really thick and well built you can go on those long rides and take your drinks and even alittle something to eat with you works great for me
Overall |
this was a great purchase have two of them one for a trx 300 and a trx 450 and both work great. they really come in handy on those trail rides. can take coolers to dog carriers to gas tanks with this rack.
Overall |
This is in my opinion the best six pack rack on the market. I think so because it is thick, and it doesn't bend easily if you wheelie and go to far back. It is great because it holds your drinks and protects you if you like to wheelie and go back to far sometimes.

Anna is going to get GHT!!!!
Awesome news came in the mail today. If you remember correctly, back in November I found out that the Growth Hormone Therapy that Anna was approved for was going to cost around $520 a month. I basically closed the door on the idea, and said I hoped that God would open a new one. Then in December, I applied for a grant through a non-profit foundation. All this time went by with obstacle after obstacle with us being told we would not qualify. For kicks, I asked why and when they gave their answer I knew there was some mix up. I asked them to please check into our file one more time before closing our case---- which they did. And today I got a letter stating that we were approved for a $5000 grant for one year which we can reapply for each year there after that she needs to stay on the medicine.
Praise God!!!!! Please pray with me that the GHT will help her grow!

Christine. That is wonderful! REally really wonderful! I told you that my nephew is on this too and my sister had to go back to work, so they could afford it.

WOO HOO, My son got those shots, for a while we did the ones every day then we later changed to once a week shots. then later after that, he was a bit older and didnt want shots anymore. I was just glad he grew about a foot and was/is now 5.3 which is fine, better than 4 and a half feet, although he would have been cute ontop of a wedding cake. hehe

Whoo-hoo!!! Congrats, Anna!!!
GHT is by injection, correct? Is Anna on board for it, or is she nervous? - February 11, 2009 at 9:46 PM

what wonderful news. I'm glad you stayed persistant. If you let it go, look at what would have happened? Way to go mom!! You did a great thing.
Now I will start praying that this medicine will start working for her. - February 11, 2009 at 10:16 PM

YIPPEE! So happy for her. God is so faithful, isn't He!
Congratulations, Christine, for asking "WHY?" I cannot even # the times I find favor with the right person by digging a little deeper or asking a question of the right person. I would imagine you have had the same experience. - February 11, 2009 at 10:45 PM
that's awesome - God totally opened that door for your family!
is Anna suffering any ill effects of not growing? i know she's unusually small... but is she otherwise healthy, or is being so small causing health problems for her?

I am so happy for you. Ben had his 6 montyh check up yesterday & he's grown almost 3 inches in 7 months compared to 1/2 an inch in the 9 months prior to GH therapy. You should join the yahoo Magic group if you haven't already, they are a great support for any questions you have about the injections. Good luck!!!!
- February 12, 2009 at 3:38 AM
- Tina in CT said...
Thank goodness she is getting this treatment as it would have seriously altered her life not to have the shots. You stuck to your guns and your diligence paid off. She's lucky to have such a determined mom. Let's hope that the treatment works well for her.

My daughter started GHT when she was in 1st grade. Humatrope was our drs recomendation. It worked GREAT and she finished her treatment just prior to 7th grade. She did wonderful. She is 5'7 compared to her sister(no ght)5'6. I remember quite well the struggle with the cost of the drug, but God is so awesome and always pulled us through!

That's terrific!

- Missy said...
That's great!! My son Nikolai was on this and it helped quite a bit!! Then, our insurance changed its policies and denied the $2000/mo. that it cost. But he got it for awhile and it did help him a lot. Congrats to Anna!! :o)
Will she do a needle injection each day or an air injection, or something different? Nik did both the needle (only hurt a tiny bit) and the air (didn't hurt at all).
Missy - February 12, 2009 at 5:36 AM

I will be praying it works wonders for her.

That is great news.
My son was on injections when he was younger..it helped somewhat..but it was not growth hormone..just testosterone..sp??
Good luck.. - February 12, 2009 at 5:58 AM
Thats great news for Anna.. She deserves it and is a beautiful girl. May she reach for the moon one say and if she "isn't tall enough" then she can mingle with the stars..
Good luck on the treatment!
If I may ask how tall is she? - February 12, 2009 at 6:25 AM
- Amy said...
PTL! That is wonderful news for Anna. My best friend's daughter has also been on ght and it did indeed work for her. She is not quite 5 foot! I will praying for your sweet girl.

God said yes to all our prayers!! This is wonderful news for Anna and for you. By the way, in her photo she looks so grown up. What a beauty! Is she excited about this?
- February 12, 2009 at 7:08 AM
- Mindy said...
This is so great! And Anna is really a beautiful young lady. My young niece saw her picture on the screen and asked if she was a model. I had to smile and told Mackenzie that she was - a model to us all as one of God's beautiful children. Mackenzie grinned back and ran to tell her Uncle that when she grew up she was going to be a model just like Anna! It was really cute.
p.s. Love your new blog header. :) - February 12, 2009 at 7:19 AM
- Jamey & Catherine said...
Way to go! Thats great news for Anna! I hope it works wonders for her! How does she feel about all this now that its happening soon?
- February 12, 2009 at 8:31 AM
- Tami said...
YEA!!!!!!! I'm hoping once I find a job and we get health insurance that we can get Anya started in GHT. I'll have to get more information from you on that grant program. ;)

Thanks! I am going to the Lower Peninsula of Michigan with a family that I normally babysit for twice a week. They have a vacation home up there and are flying me up there to be their nanny for a month and a half. I've never been further from Hawaii than California, so this should be interesting. :-)

If you don't mind me asking:
What led you to the conclussion that she need GHT? I was just wondering. My daughter is small for her age but I didn't know if there was a age/height chart or if she has a medical condition that she suffers from where she needs them for a reason other than just her size. How tall is she? - February 12, 2009 at 10:47 AM

- February 12, 2009 at 2:30 PM
Hi Christine, this is Great News!
If you don't mind, can you answer the following questions on an upcoming Digest?
How tall do the doctors estimate she would grow without GHT?
Is there an estimate of how tall she could grow with GHT? - February 12, 2009 at 2:41 PM
- Sandy said...
Would you mind telling us how you determined Anna needed GHT? We adopted 4 children from Ukraine in 2004 when they were 4,5,6 and 7. Now, the two oldest are small to average height, but the two youngest are really small for their age. Did you investigate this on your own, or did the ped. suggest it? - February 12, 2009 at 4:15 PM
- Chelley said...
that is more than a blessing that is a gift from god!

A little off-topic, but I wanted this to reach as many folks as possible. Reece's Rainbow has just changed Marina's status to "imminent danger of being transferred". Would anyone who's considering adopting a little girl with DS (from Ukraine) please help her? The need is urgent -
Little Marina, who turned four in December, was my "Christmas child". She is a cutie - healthy, happy, high-functioning, ambulatory, feeds herself, tries to dress herself, responsive, pretty, well-cared for, and with all kinds of potential and a good-sized grant from Reece's Rainbow for assistance to adoptive parents.
Please don't let this darling child be sent to Torez...I am single and have "aged out", re Ukrainian standards, or I'd go for her myself...
Best wishes,
Susan in Kentucky

p.s. Thanks, Christine, for letting this message be added to your blog... - February 14, 2009 at 9:58 AM

Oh my goodness, that is great! My sister has been trying to gather information regarding GHT. The doctors want her to start my nephew on it.
I would love to tell her about options for grants, money is a concern for them too.
God is so good and He will provide!
I pray Anna does well and that the treatment goes well.

Lamb of God
It is at the risk of repeating myself that I state the following: if you had told me nine years ago that I would be here about to write a new Lamb of God album released on a major label, I would have laughed you out of town. Seriously. New American Gospel did nothing for me, and I heard it at a time when so many bands of the ilk – Killswitch Engage and God Forbid among them, as well as many long since forgotten others – were emerging that I felt this just had to be a trend. Well, look who's the idiot now: those three bands are often credited with starting that whole "New Wave of American Heavy Metal" thing. Lamb of God ended up on Epic Records and served as main support for much of Metallica's most recent US run, and I am quite the fan. Now they continue to prove their mettle with Wrath.
The question on all the fans' minds seems to be "Will it be better than Sacrament?" At first it sounded like an odd sentiment. I gave a fairly positive review to that album back in 2006, but as I thought back on it, I realized that I had barely touched it since writing the review (then again, when you're able to see a band live every three months, who needs to listen to an album?) Continuing on, I could only recall a handful of the tracks in detail, so maybe it wasn't as good as I initially thought; it certainly didn't have much longevity. When the new single "Set to Fail" was released, I was hopeful that Wrath would pack a more powerful punch, and when I finally heard the album in its entirety, there was no question that it does.
"A sacred cash cow / with sickly tits" – that opening line to "In Your Words" jumped right out at me, and the song as a whole reads like a scathing diatribe against the record industry, with the music to match. They probably could have shaved off the last minute or so at no great loss, although the funeral dirge feel does provide a nice bit of closure. "Set to Fail" itself has a bit of a classic thrash vibe to it, which either makes it a surprising choice for a first single or means that my interpretation of the word is becoming looser. At any rate, this is far from Active Rock material, and I just don't see Randy Blythe's lower-end growls appealing to a mainstream audience. Next up, "Contractor" cranks up the speed and heaviness to an almost surprising level. Unfortunately they also toss in a goofy chorus line with "Guaran-fucking-teed!" which quickly flashed me back to "This is a motherfucking invitation!" from Sacrament's "Redneck." Remember when Guns N' Roses has the "Guns N' Fuckin' Roses" shirts, and Metallica followed with the "Metalli-fuckin-ca" design? Yeah, silly like that. Back to the song, though, it's killer.
You'd think a track titled "Fake Messiah" would fall right into Lamb of God's power zone, but it's actually pretty flat. Ironically, "Grace" fares a bit better with some nice tempo changes and sweet riff work from the duo of Mark Morton and Willie Adler. "Broken Hands" follows suit and gives drummer Chris Adler a chance to show off, too. I think he even tossed in a blast beat on "Dead Seeds," which has the type of power groove that is bound to make it a live favorite, a la "Now You've Got Something to Die For," but without the sing-along. I have nothing special to say about "Everything to Nothing" and "Choke Sermon," but that doesn't mean they aren't solid. They're just on par with the quality of the rest of the album. I would have closed with one of those tracks rather than the 7+ minute "Reclamation." Its an ambitious undertaking that flirts with epicness, but the quiet intro and outro leave something to be desired. I would have preferred to have been left with a fist in the face rather than a whisper in the wind (or to be more accurate, the soothing sounds of the sea.)
I guess I can sum up Wrath simply as Lamb of God doing their thing, and doing it well in an improvement over Sacrament. There has been no change in sound, no going soft from the spoils of major label support and ever increasing exposure and success. My mind keeps flashing with comparisons to Pantera's The Great Southern Trendkill, but I haven't been able to nail down anything specific. Maybe it's because I'm not used to hearing such heavy music released on a major label, and in 1996, that was the heaviest thing I had heard on a major (yes, I'm aware I missed many thrash releases prior.) In 2002, it was big news when Lamb of God scored a slot supporting Mushroomhead on their US tour. Had I known then what I know now, I may have paid more attention at that show. They have earned everything they have now through perseverance and determination, whereas the other bands involved with that tour (Eighteen Visions, Five Pointe-O, and Mushroomhead themselves) have either disbanded or faded into relative obscurity. Now I think it's time to give Wrath another spin and raise a glass of cheap beer to Lamb of God for continuing to kick ass.

By Brian Dukes Staff writer
Southern rock and country will be the sounds du jour at the 2013 Fayetteville Dogwood Festival next month.
The 31st annual festival will feature country music singer-songwriter Joe Diffie and Southern rock bands Molly Hatchet and Blackfoot as the headlining acts, festival organizers announced today.
R&B singer Ricco Barrino, brother to "American Idol" winner Fantasia Barrino, also will perform on the festival's third day as the headliner of a number of R&B acts.
All performances are free and will take place at Festival Park, where the festival will be April 26 to 28.
Diffie will perform on April 26, the first night of the festival, while Molly Hatchet and Blackfoot will perform April 27.
Carrie King, executive director of the Dogwood Festival, said the artists have been on the festival's radar for a few years.
"We're excited to see which band brings out more people," said King. "It's great to have Joe Diffie right now because Jason Aldean has a song ('1994') that praises Joe's music. It never hurts to have free buzz about one of your acts from a country superstar."
Diffie found success in the '90s with five No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, including "Home," "If the Devil Danced (In Empty Pockets)," "Third Rock from the Sun," "Pickup Man" and "Bigger Than the Beatles." He also put out 12 other top 10 singles and 10 other top 40 singles on the same chart.
Molly Hatchet formed in Jacksonville, Fla., home to the Southern rock genre founded by Lynyrd Skynyrd. The band sold more than 5 million records in the late '70s and early '80s. The band is perhaps best known for its biggest hit, "Flirtin With Disaster," from the 1979 album of the same name.
Blackfoot, another Southern rock band from Jacksonville, often toured alongside Molly Hatchet or Lynyrd Skynyrd during the 1970s and '80s. Some of the band's most notable songs include "Highway Song" and "Train, Train."
Barrino is an up-and-coming R&B artist who has appeared on a number of different hip-hop artist's albums, including T.I., B.o.B and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.
Last year, organizers charged $10 for headlining act Gretchen Wilson, the first time a Dogwood show wasn't free.
The experiment produced mixed results, King said. The move was made to help pay for the higher-profile, and more expensive musical acts, King said. Just over 4,000 attended Wilson's concert last year, a decrease from attendance at previous free shows.
"Gretchen's concert was a success in that we were able to meet our goal, monetarily, and we still had several thousand people at the show," said King. "But the logistics of trying to manage a ticketed event at Festival Park were very challenging."
King said managing a ticketed event of the magnitude of a Dogwood Festival concert would require hiring a contract service, which would add to the festival's overhead. That cost would be in addition to the increasing costs of booking high-profile musical acts.
"Every year the asking price for artists keeps going up, and it's our challenge as a nonprofit organization to put on a successful festival that's within our budget," said King. "We'd love to bring Tom Petty, but we couldn't afford him."
The festival is making improvements in technology, though, King said. The festival will have its first mobile app, which will be available for download the first week of April. The mobile app, King said, will allow festivalgoers to find vendors, attractions, look up the schedule of events, set reminders and notifications and provide instant information updates.
In Touch Systems of North Carolina, based in Goldsboro, developed the app, which King was inspired to pursue after talking to a friend in the festival industry who found great success with deploying a mobile app.
"The app will be like having your own festival volunteer with you," said King.
Organizers also are planning a group performance of the "Harlem Shake," an irreverent dance that's become the latest viral video trend. On April 28, at the end of the Festival Park concerts, the performance will be recorded and posted online.
Mike Tech, program director at hip-hop and R&B radio station WZFX Foxy 99, hopes festival-goers are ready to boogie and do the "Harlem Shake."
"We thought it would be a great way to close down Festival Park on that Sunday," said Tech. "Who knows? We might even set a record with how many people we can get doing the 'Harlem Shake' at the same time."
Tech and King hope that including the playful Internet viral sensation will attract younger crowds.
"It'll definitely be a fun way to put our stamp to the festival," said King.

Hans van Manen (Nieuwer Amstel, the Netherlands) had his first ballet lessons in the late forties from Sonia Gaskell, who engaged him as a dancer in her group Ballet Recital in 1951. Van Manen went on to dance with the Netherlands Opera Ballet and Roland Petit's Ballets de Paris.
In 1957, he made his debut as a choreographer with the ballet Feestgericht, which received the State Award for Choreography. From 1961 onwards, Van Manen has worked alternately with the two main dance companies of the Netherlands. After co-directing Nederlands Danstheater, he became a resident choreographer – first with the Dutch National Ballet, then with Nederlands Danstheater. Since 2005, he has once again held the post of resident choreographer with the Dutch National Ballet.
Van Manen's international fame is widespread, illustrated by the fact that his ballets are performed by more than fifty companies worldwide. His ballets have been performed by many of the great international stars, including Anthony Dowell, Marcia Haydée, Natalia Makarova and Rudolf Nureyev.
Van Manen is one of the few choreographers to have succeeded in bringing modern ballet – as a fusion of classical ballet and modern dance and other movement techniques – to a wide audience. Much of his work, particularly for Nederlands Danstheater, is experimental in character, with Solo for Voice I (1986) and Mutations (1970) among the most striking examples.
With the Dutch National Ballet, Van Manen's choreographic style became more classical. Among his most lyrically romantic works are Adagio Hammerklavier (1973), Four Schumann Pieces (1975), Grand Trio (1978) and Piano Variations III (Trois Gnossiennes) (1982). The most striking of the more experimental ballets that Van Manen created for The Dutch National Ballet include the duet Twilight and the video ballet Live (1979). Recent works by Hans van Manen include Frank Bridge Variations (2005), Six Piano Pieces (2006), Tears (for the programme In Space in 2008) and Without Words (2010).
Van Manen has now created more than 120 ballets. The many awards he has received include the Sonia Gaskell Prize, the VSCD Choreography Award, the Deutsche Tanzpreis, the Benois de la Danse Lifetime Achievement Award and the City of Duisburg Music Prize. In 2000, he was awarded the Erasmus Prize for his special services to Dutch dance. In 2103 he was awarded a Benois de la Danse for his choreography Variations for two couples, created for the programme Present/s.
In 2013, he was awarded a Benois de la Danse for his ballet Variations for two couples, created for the programme Present/s. In the same year, he was appointed patron to the National Ballet Academy, which is part of the Amsterdam School of the Arts.
In 2007, the Dutch National Ballet organised the Hans van Manen Festival, dedicated to the choreographer and his work on the occasion of his 75th birthday. For three weeks in September, the company presented 25 ballets in 6 different programmes, performed by 8 leading international companies. During the festival, Hans Van Manen was made a Commander in the Order of the Netherlands Lion. In August 2013 Van Manen received a Gouden Eeuw Award for his whole oeuvre by Bewonder Nederland.
In july 2013 Van Manen celebrated his 81th birthday.
