text: Scioto Downs is set to open their new casino at 2pm Friday. It's the first racetrack in the state to run video lottery terminals, also known as VLTs."We expect the lines to start forming as early at 9 o'clock that morning," said Mike Newsome, marketing director for Scioto Downs Casino and Racetrack. A 130,000 square foot facility has been under construction for the last several months. Inside are 1,800 VLTs, a bar, and café."When we are finished up it's going to be over 800 employees that will be staffed and right now were are over 700 already," Newsome said.The Ohio Lottery expects the VLTs to generate about $3 million annually in revenue to the state of Ohio. The machines are virtual slot machines. They'll take anything from a penny to $100 to play.Scioto Downs is opening the facility just months before Hollywood Casino is due to open its doors on the west side of Columbus. The competition isn't a concern for Newsome who says it's good for the industry and the customers."This market is certainly robust enough to be able to handle two or more casinos that are going to be in the area. I don't think that will be a problem at all."While the casino will be open around the clock, one challenge they may have to deal with is a lack of lodging in the area. The closest hotels are at Rickenbacker and Grove City. Newsome said there are currently no plans to built one on site, but says they'll expand the facility to meet demand.

Competition is always fierce for great jobs and promotions, and even more so in the face of high unemployment rates and a difficult economic environment. But your skills will always be your most important currency when it comes to demonstrating your value to employers.
Rob Sabo from Schools.com tapped me for my thoughts on the top skills employees need for career success in 2012. We had a great conversation about skills that will help you get hired or land that promotion, and how to stand out from the crowd.
Read Rob's article to see what I had to say about technical literacy, communication skills, social media, diversity, and work ethic. He reports on a lot of great advice about the skills you need to get promoted, or hired, in the year to come. Thanks Rob, for the opportunity to contribute to the story, it was a pleasure!

Still holding out on Windows 7? Don't see any benefit to upgrading? Then, you might wanna give this post a read:
New data extracted from Microsoft's Security Intelligence Report shows that Windows 7 is seeing 5x less infection rates than Windows XP, and about half of what Windows Vista is seeing.
As in previous periods, infection rates for more recently released operating systems and service packs are consistently lower than earlier ones, for both client and server platforms. Windows 7 and Windows Server® 2008 R2, the most recently released Windows client and server versions, respectively, have the lowest infection rates on the chart.
One reason may be that 64-bit versions of Windows still appeal to a more technically savvy audience than their 32-bit counterparts, despite increasing sales of 64-bit Windows versions among the general computing population. Kernel Patch Protection (KPP), a feature of 64-bit versions of Windows that protects the kernel from unauthorized modification, may also contribute to the discrepancy by preventing certain types of malware from operating.
If you're still doubting the authenticity of the report, the below graph has shown that this is not due to Windows 7's infancy, showing there is no clear increase or decrease in infection rates, staying well below 4%.

Terra Plana & Dr Gowri Motha present 'The Barefoot Experience' – For 3 months only
July 21st 2010 by Terra PlanaSpearheaded by new research and the international bestseller "Born to Run," the 'barefoot movement' is gathering pace. London's first Barefoot Experience is dedicated to helping people rediscover natural movement, and better health, from the feet up.
In January 2010 Professor Dan Lieberman of Harvard University released his seminal research on the benefits of barefoot and the dangers of normal padded running shoes (Nature Magazine, "Tread Softly") adding to a number of other scientific studies showing how underfoot shoe technologies are doing more harm than good.
Two months later, Galahad Clarks (owner of Terra Plana) wife had a baby delivered by Dr. Gowri Motha. She followed Dr. Gowri's Gentle Birth method and had a wonderful natural birth. Galahad and Gowri hit it off and especially connected on the benefits of being barefoot and the positive health benefits of stimulating your soles!
After a reflexology session in her St. Johns Wood clinic over an ayurvedic lunch, Galahad and Gowri decided to collaborate and bring her treatments directly to the public.
Terra Plana are creators of Vivobarefoot, the original barefoot shoe, with a patented ultra thin puncture resistant sole that gives all the benefits of being barefoot with protection. Terra Plana are proud to work with world's leading barefoot running expert Lee Saxby as their main advisor on barefoot movement and an in store treadmill will give people a chance to try out 'barefoot running', get basic pointers from the staff, and attend running clinics from time-to-time.
Dr. Gowri Motha is an obstetrician and pioneer of water births and the gentle birth method in the UK. She advocates reflexology as an excellent all round treatment that promotes general health. Dr. Gowri was the first doctor in London to introduce reflexology as the treatment of choice for mothers in her care, in 1987.
Dr. Gowri's experience with Terra Plana has led her to conclude that walking in Vivobarefoot shoes (with ultra thin soles) stimulates the reflexology points and was quick to conclude that mothers can enhance their health as they walk in the barefoot shoes.
Dr. Gowri's team of health practitioners include reflexologists, an ayurvedic doctor, nutritionists and general health practitioners offering treatments to help ease common conditions like back problems and digestive disorders.
Come and enjoy the "Barefoot Experience", kick off your shoes, release your feet, stimulate your soles and rediscover the joy of natural movement…

Have a watch of this great video review of the Vivobarefoot Evo by Mizz Fit
Here's Asher Clark, of AMC Design talking about shoes, Terra Plana, sitting on the toilet and going barefoot.
Read the full interview on yankodesign.com
Here's a couple of the questions from the interview:
This is a question I've always wanted to ask the pro-barefoot camp. Many runners pronate or supinate and require corrective orthotics. Can these runners use the Evo comfortably?
Most people have been in shoes every walking hour of there life since they were kids and it stands to reason that if you jump out of your shoes and run a marathon your going to feel pain in places that you didn't even know existed. Absolutely, if you are new to barefoot you need to take it slowly and listen to your body, building up to longer runs and looking at improving your running technique with a like minded running coach. The?? hard soles of shoes actually cause a lot of foot problems and research shows that if you let you body move as nature intended, a lot of the problems you talk about can be corrected. For me personally barefoot just feels rite and perhaps is not for everyone but we were all barefoot once upon a time, right?
As head designer of Terra Plana, what inspires you? What do you do when you come to a creative block?
Am inspired to make things better…better to wear, better for the environment…just keep being better.
Check out this Terra Plana Evo review by Tina Dubois from Living Barefoot.
Here's the summary from review:
"Terra Plana has made another excellent product in the Vivo Barefoot Evo. It is a phenomenal all-purpose shoe as well as an amazing running shoe. It is extremely comfortable with or without socks and form fits to your feet well because of the laces. The barefoot feel is outstanding and, while running, definitely promotes a midfoot strike. It has incredible breathability because of the choice to use a mesh material surrounded by a TPU cage, allowing even the hottest feet cooling air flow. And, of course, the quality of the materials and manufacturing is superb. Although the price may put some people off from buying them, it is comparable to many running-specific shoes and should last much longer than their usually prescribed 500 miles. The Evo is a stellar minimalist shoe and the fact that they were specifically designed for running, which they also feel fantastic for, makes them even better."
Read the full article on the Living Barefoot website.
Take a look at this recent review by Tina Dubois on the Living Barefoot website.
Here's her overall impression:
"The Kali is a brand new Mary Jane style pump for the Spring/Summer 2010 collection. It is the perfect footwear for women looking for a minimalist show in a professional environment. It is an extremely well-made shoe with an elegant and attractive design yet has a thin, anatomically correct sole that allows for natural foot movement and excellent ground feel."

House of Moves Provides Mocap for Starhawk
LightBox approached HOM with the project in 2010, having previously collaborated with HOM Vice President of Production Brian Rausch. After determining the best pipeline to meet production needs, HOM captured full performance and audio over four days on their secondary 459 square-foot soundstage featuring 200 Vicon T160 cameras. Two seasoned performers acted out the necessary movements under the guidance of LightBox Creative Director Lars DeVore. Once the shoot was complete, three HOM artists took about a month to track and solve the mocap, ultimately delivering skeletal data to LightBox for retargeting and animation.
"House of Moves is a well-organized one-stop-shop for everything we needed to get quality in-game mocap for Starhawk," said Lars DeVore, creative director, LightBox Interactive. "Their set up is state-of-the-art and they were able to secure top notch talent for us. Our performers were so good, we frequently only needed one take and were able to accomplish a tremendous amount of work each day."
"I've always respected how LightBox co-founders Lars DeVore and Dylan Jobe are open to the creative process," said Rausch. "They listen to and value everyone's opinion, and will make changes as needed to benefit the final result. Working with them on this project was so smooth; we were happy to adjust our workflow to suit their needs and provide the base for their fantastic animation."

Hey shit stain, where does it say that he only has the Playmate figures? Shut the hell up if you don't have anything worthy to say....I'm so glad you're on my ignore list.

Not exactly a figure, but I have a huge life-size Homer Simpson statue for sale if anyone is interested and lives in the Los Angeles area (http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv...191073529.html)
top and bottom pic are the same display, but arranged slightly different.
That's a mighty impressive display, I'm jealous! About how much did you spend on all of that?
If the ad is relevant to the subject matter I don't see why not. Was just seeing if fans of the show and fans of Simpsons memorabilia in particular would be interested in a rare Homer Simpson figure. No need to be rude.

I want to buy some of these limited collectibles:
As of right now I have about 30 WOS figures (some are loose, most are boxed), about 6 playsets, quite a few BK figures, some vintage Bart figures, a set of tiny PVC figures, a couple of bobble heads, some stickers, Evil/Good Krusty doll, a handful of vintage & newer Krusty shirts, a Moe 'Seymour Butz' vintage shirt, a Krusty-shaped water bottle, a Krusty bendy figure, a couple of new Simpsons shirts from Universal Studios, a Krustyland lanyard, almost all of the PS3 games, and Itchy and Scratchy plush dolls. I might have a couple of other things that I can't think of too. I also have a couple of duplicates of WOS Chief Wiggum and one of them is badly discolored, so his uniform is dark green, which is amusing to me for some reason.
Right now I'm focusing on collecting the WOS figures, vintage figures, vintage plush dolls (especially of side characters), and vintage shirts. Especially the Bart shirts from the early 90's! I'm also on the look out for an extra of my favorite Krusty shirt (has a fullbody image of Krusty on the front, and on the back has Krusty with a circle around him and a speech bubble that says 'I Didn't Do It!), but I have yet to see another one come up on eBay.
My current to-gets: Mattel Nelson, 1990 talking Bart doll, Chief Wiggum Hamilton Collection statue, at least three vintage Bart shirts, vintage & newer Chief Wiggum plush, and basically anything Chief or Krusty related.
I had the Mattel Nelson when I was a kid! Nostalgia!

Pretty Good, But Fit is Slightly Off
Overall Product Rating (3 out of 5)
By Cortne
I would have rated these 3.5 if I could. Overall a nice boot and quite comfortable. My only complaint is the shaft of the boot is larger than average. I have a pretty average ankle / calf size and I can get 3/4 of my hand in the shaft while I'm wearing them. Length of the shoe is otherwise true to size. I thought about returning them, but opted to keep them instead. They've grown on me.
These are a great ankle boot for the winter and go so well with jeans or slacks. Thank you for your great feedback and sharing this review.

There's No Arguing:
With gas prices soaring, now is not the time to close one of the few local attractions, The Zoo. More vacationers are opting for "staycations". Definition from Wikipedia: Staycation (or stay-cation, or stacation) a period of time in which an individual or family stays at home and relaxes at home or takes day trips from their home to area attractions. Staycations have achieved high popularity in current hard economic times in which unemployment levels and gas prices are high. Common activities of a "staycation" include the use of the backyard pool, visits to local parks, zoos, museums, and attendance at local festivals i.e. "Concerts in the Park". These attractions with the right marketing will increase their revenues during economic hard times and establish themselves as viable business models when the economy takes the swing back to better times. The "tri-County" community must be made aware of the possibilities of losing one of the most successful Zoos in the Nation. If the local governments are unable or unwilling to assist in solutions for the funding problems then perhaps we should look to the Federal Government or perhaps to private donors, philanthropies, or even INVESTORS. The Zoo is a regional asset that is also a teaching and learning tool. Area schools and colleges are involved in educational activities at the Zoo. We're vested in but lack the foresight to be invested in the financial well being of this institution. Sponsors will be more than willing to invest in a business that can be proven to be a profit center in hard economic times. We have to wonder why, as a community, we are not more progressive... What made the citizens from Escambia, Santa Rosa and Okaloosa Counties, as a community so behind the times, and weak in creating a region that could compete with the rest of the "successful" communities of the great "State of Florida"? It's time that these Counties, it's Citizens and our Communities stand up and move this region out of the 20th century failures that have brought us to the edges of self destruction. Let's start now to create a region that will be the envy and model for the rest of the State. Snap out of the "status-quo" come on people "grow a pair" and take our responsibilities seriously. Let's set the example, and not remain the subject of jokes told in other Counties in the rest of this State. Let's also, stop placing the blame on some of those entrenched politicians we elected and elect progressive thinkers that will help us move this region into the future we have been dreaming we could become. The Zoo could be one of the many successes that we will be able to point to when looking back at a region that turned its future around. The next step is to Incorporate Navarre. I'm all in, are you? "3 to 2 north county advantage, but not for long..." |

I doubt it, I bet the average Joe hasn't even been in the RBN store yet. Just using my friends as a very small sample, 7 of them have RB2, 3 dont' really by DLC at all, 4 buy DLC occasionally. Of these, only 1 has even visited the RBN Music Store, and he bought one song: Push Push. This after I told him that the RBN Store is up for business and how Push Push is an awesome song.
I'm wondering if maybe it was a mistake to have separate RBN and regular Music Stores. I personally don't mind. But for the average Joe, combining the stores would make it easier to find that Artist that you want. Say you want to find The Shins: you have to check both stores to get the 3 songs of theirs. Kind of a hassle, and I wouldn't be surprised if they just saw the 1 regular Shins DLC in the regular Store and left it at that, without even checking the RBN store.

John Garlock is 6 and 10pm news anchor with KTVO.
OUTSIDE NOVINGER, MO. -- Halloween was a scary for a northeast Missouri truck driver.
Just before 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Ira Helton, 48, of Green City wrecked a tractor-trailer on Highway 6 about three miles west of Novinger.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said Helton veered off the road.
His tractor-trailer came to rest on the passenger side in a ditch right along the highway.
The truck was reportedly carrying liquid laundry detergent.
Helton was taken from the scene by ambulance to Northeast Regional Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries.

The last thing Alan Freemont is expecting when he finishes his latest makeup gig and heads to Oak Grove, Arkansas, for a long-deserved vacation is to discover a wrecked tour bus. No. The last thing he's expecting is for the tour bus to belong to part of Andrew Lyon's band. Wait. No, again. The LAST thing he's expecting is to meet Andrew Lyon and discover that the man is more than just pretty, but smart, too. And needy, because three of Andrew's closest friends were on that bus. Only two of them made it.
Andrew Lyon has been having a relatively good year. Sure there have been disagreements between him and his record label, but what else is new? Then he gets an early morning call that changes everything. One of his closest friends is dead and two others might be following soon after. Alan Freemont, the man who discovered the accident, turns out to be a Godsend.
Can the men -- one on the periphery of celebrity and the other a favorite media target -- find their way to something real when intense emotions, paparazzi and an abundance of fans descend on the small town? Andrew isn't sure. He's already suffered enough loss already, hasn't he?
Maybe. Maybe not. If Alan has his way, he'll see to it that Andrew doesn't lose anything more.
Show Excerpt
It was only when they'd all left the truck and were walking through the front doors of the hospital that Andrew realized he was relieved that the bleached blond, tattooed and pierced guy was a local, rather than Alan Freemont. He chalked that up to being so glad that he and the guys had made it to the hospital so quickly, even if there had been a helicopter involved. That and, this JB guy obviously knew people. Maybe he'd be able to find something out if the hospital wouldn't talk to them.
JB led them to the elevator and up to the ICU waiting room. Andrew met Dr. Tommy Paulson, who'd seen to his friends during their most vulnerable moments. He wasn't at all the middle-aged, aw-shucks-want-some-lemonade type Andrew had expected. In fact, Dr. Paulson was young and attractive, in addition to being well-spoken and obviously highly educated, just as JB had said. Even Tony seemed impressed after a few minutes of conversation.
Andrew didn't know how much time passed. It felt like forever but could have been as little as five minutes between meeting the doctor and the moment that had Andrew feeling even more shocked than he'd already been. He barely noticed it at first, really.
A door Andrew hadn't even seen opened at the far end of the ICU waiting room. The light pouring out of that small opening went out. A shape moved from the darkness into the light and Andrew… stared.
The man was tall, or at least taller than Andrew's own five foot nine. Not by more than a couple inches, but still.
He was slender but toned. Andrew suspected there was no six-pack under the man's shirt but there were probably hints of one.
Black hair, so dark and lustrous that Andrew thought he saw blue highlights -- the natural sort -- in the muted sunlight pouring through the tinted windows.
Pale skin, sharp cheekbones, arched brows that might possibly be sculpted slightly but Andrew couldn't fault the man for that… and big eyes. Big, wide, bluer-than-blue eyes.
Eyes that found his and speared into him, laid him bare. Eyes so full of shattered emotion that Andrew wanted to go to the man and hold him. Promise him that everything would be all right. That was when Andrew realized that there were two different kinds of shock racing through him. One was directly related to Caro and Kill-kill and oh, God, Pete. Pete was dead. Jesus Christ, Pete was dead and the twins were maybe dying. Christ, how was he supposed to even process that?
The other variety of shock coursing electric in his blood had nothing to do with anything but the man before him and it shouldn't feel good. Pete was fucking dead and Andrew was… what? Cruising the hospital? God, he was so fucked up. Always had been, even if no one else knew it, but that seemed to take a back seat, somehow.
The stranger said something to Dr. Paulson and the doctor frowned, then shook his head. "I swear, Alan. Only you," he said before turning back to finish whatever he'd been saying to Tony and Darian.
Andrew didn't know where the impulse came from, but he heard himself speaking. Felt himself stepping forward, one hand held out as he said, "You must be Alan Freemont."
The so-beautiful man with the brilliant but sorrowful eyes offered a muted smile while he accepted the hand Andrew had offered.
"Must I?" The man's lips, a deep pinkish-red, twitched at the corner, a very vague and slightly mocking tone to his voice as he spoke on. "Well, okay. If you insist. And you're Andrew Lyon. I'm glad you made it."
Andrew blinked, hoping the action would make him stop seeing Alan as being so damned perfect. It didn't, but he kept trying. He wasn't the sort to give up, and there was no way Alan Freemont could be so right. So gorgeous. Except he must be because when Andrew finally did manage to force his eyes away, he saw that Darian and Tony both looked almost as poleaxed as he felt. Well, maybe half as much. Possibly as little as a third. Whatever.
Andrew forced himself to swallow roughly in an attempt to clear the sudden sensation that his throat was blocked. "I wish I hadn't needed to," he admitted. "I'd be much happier if my whole band was in Dallas right now. Alive and not… God. Not messed up. Fuck, I can't do this. I really, really can't!" It was too much. Again. Or maybe it had never stopped being too much but Andrew had simply missed it with all the confusion and rushing around to get to this hospital in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere. Too fucking much. He couldn't… God, he couldn't breathe.
He turned. Tried to leave. Felt hands on him -- one on his shoulder, one on his hip.
He turned, ready to yell at Tony, but it wasn't Tony who'd followed him the four steps he'd managed.
"I can't do this," Andrew whispered to that bluer-than-blue gaze, though he'd planned to shout. "They're my…"
"Family," Alan finished for him when he trailed off. "I get it. They're not mine, but I get it. Everyone is somebody's family. I'm so sorry. I wish I could have driven faster. Found them sooner. I'm so sorry, Andrew."
Long, slender, surprisingly strong arms wrapped around him and Andrew resisted for about half a minute. Thirty seconds that felt like forever. Then he felt something like a sob leave his own mouth and his arms went around Alan's waist. The next thing Andrew knew, he was crying into the shoulder of Alan's shirt, getting it damp and gross. Not that Alan seemed to care because the man's face was pressed against the side of his head and unless Andrew was completely mistaken, there was a gathering dampness that could only be caused by more tears. Alan's tears.

Rochester man found guilty of 2006 home invasion and rape
Posted at: 02/01/2013 2:06 PM | Updated at: 02/01/2013 3:58 PM
A Rochester man was found guilty for the 2006 home invasion and rape of a woman on Ambrose Street in the city of Rochester.
Ronell McFadden, 35, was found guilty of rape and criminal sex act.
On May 3, 2006, McFadden forced his way into the woman's home where the woman and her baby were sleeping, threatened them both with a knife before raping her.
The woman was not able to get a clear look at her assailant, but a Combined DNA Index System hit later identified McFadden as the attacker after he was forced to submit a DNA sample following an arrest on another charge.
McFadden will be sentenced on March 7. He faces 25 years for each charge against him, for a possible sentence of 50 years in prison.

So when I picked up my new quad fish last month I did not get the back fins, FCS did not give them to my shaper by mistake. I used some I had lying around and have been surfing it no problem, the board glides like a longboard and is uber fun like a bigger shortboard, the way a fish should.
Well, yesterday I picked up the GX and a pair of G1000 fins for my center fins. When I got home to replace them I noticed they where WAY smaller! I've been surfing GL center fins, the tiny size for longboards but as a center fin, super small, thought I was using a bigger size.
So, do you think the larger G1000 fins won't make too much of a difference or will it be a big difference in control and hold? And, will the bigger fins mean more drag and less glide?? Humm... I wonder I wonder. Your thoughts?
I'll re-post once I try the new fins to let you know, but thought I'd post this as a topic of quad fins discussion

Is it possible to design a transgene to express a marker protein under the control of a miR promoter (when the miR is expressed from it's own non-coding piece of RNA, obviously not when it's expressed intragenically)? For example, can you have GFP or betaGal expressed under the control of a pre-miR ncRNA to see where and when the pre-miR is expressed? Has anyone done that before? I know you can check for the RNA itself by reverse transcription-PCR or something, or even check for the miR with a luciferase assay, but I was wondering about expressing something with the miR promoter.

I have been fortunate enough to see the Webb sisters play live on two occasions over the past week. The first was in The Sugar Club in Dublin. (Thursday Nov 10th) and this was followed two days later by a show in the Venue Theatre, Ratoath Co Meath.
Thursday is a great night to start the weekend if you have some good reason to head out. I had been waiting in anticipation for an announcement of a Dublin Concert ever since seeing the Webb sisters playing in the Bloomsbury Theatre London back in May. Marie and I went to that concert not knowing quite what to expect. We had seen the Webb Sisters many times on the Leonard Cohen Tour, but never in their own right. The new album Savages was just released and i was listening to it in the car on the way to work in anticipation of the London trip. There were four on stage in London. Charley and Hattie, together with their brother Brad on drums and another fine musician (whose name escapes me) on steel guitar. It was a good combination. We were both pleasantly surprised how much we enjoyed the concert. From the moment the girls walked on stage to the finale, we were under their spell. When a Dublin concert was announced we had no hesitation in booking our tickets.
The Sugar Club Dublin is a modest size venue which has tiered seating and tables for drinks. It was full on Thursday night and people were in good spirits. There were many familiar faces there from the the LC tour. Jan Vail had flown over from the Uk as had Mandy MacLeod and her husband Mike. Ruth Stimson had flown over from London and was ' hanging " with Afric. The long distance travel award goes to Kenadian and Morgan from Toronto and Berkley. Locals included, Tony Curran and Terry, Paula McCann, Gwen Langford, Tony Crosbie, Joe Costello, Helen mc Sweeney, Sheila O'Mahony and Mary-Anne McGlynn. It was great to see them all again and catch up over a pint after the gig.
The Webb sister have an Ep record called "comes in two" and this time they did. It was just Hattie and Charley on stage, one Harp and one guitar. I must confess , I could have just sat there watched and listened to them hum for an hour or so. But, as we have come to know, there is far more to these two ladies than beautiful facades. Once again they captivated the audience with their lyrics and vocal harmonies. I'm not great at describing songs and arrangements. I prefer to convey that through something I am good at...video This rendition of "The goodnight song" will give you a flavour of one of their tranquil and harmonic songs.
Their next concert was in Ratoath Co Meath (35km outside Dublin) on Saturday night. Having enjoyed the thursday gig so much, we decided to go again and we were lucky enough to get some tickets for what turned out to be another full house. The Venue theatre in Ratoath is a relatively new Theater. The acoustics and sound were even better than the Sugar Club and the Webb Sisters were in top form. Hattie had been practicing her pronunciation of "Ratoath" so much that she said it just like a local! When the question was asked as to how many had been to one of the Leonard Cohen concerts, almost the entire audience shouted yes. The set list was similar to Thursday nights but not identical. They played songs from Savages their current album (or record as the girls call it) and also songs from their previous album "Daylight Crossing ". After the concert, the sisters were available for a meet and greet. A long line formed and judging by the number of new albums presented for signing there were many who wanted to continue the night in the car on the way home.
I shot this on the night. " Momentary " from "Daylight Crossing". http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=TkeLgUvBmk4
It was a very enjoyable evening. I am beginning to realize that the more I see them live, the more I enjoy them and want more. I would highly recommend seeing them live to anyone who gets the opportunity.


text: Some people tiptoe around issues and some jump in headfirst never looking back. Marty Spranger of Warren, Michigan, is of the latter crowd. Born with motorcycles in his blood (his father was a long time biker), and living in the heartland of horsepower (on the outskirts of Detroit) you could say Marty was destined to roll two wheels and turn wrenches. "I wrenched on mini-bikes and go-karts as a youth and rode my old man's '77 chopped Triumph," Marty told us. "I built some custom Mustangs along the way too, but I always felt more balanced on two wheels rather than four." Determined to get his own motorcycle, Marty eventually did, but not under the condition he (or anyone else for that matter) would have liked. In 2004 his father (The Mouzer) passed away and willed his '01 Ultra to Marty. While Marty cherished the bike and vowed to never let it out of his possession, it wasn't quite what he had in mind as "his bike." So a few weeks later Marty purchased a '98 Softail Custom and kept the Ultra in the garage. Several hours later Marty had the Softy in his cousin Fonzo's garage torn apart and the two men began cutting it up. Marty and his cousin Fonzo minutes after bringing Marty's new ride home. It wouldn't stay this way long. Marty and his cousin Fonzo minutes after bringing Marty's new ride home. It wouldn't stay "Living and loving HOT BIKE inspired me to build my own custom bike. I wanted nothing more than to see my bike on the cover of HOT BIKE when it was completed," Marty said. "My ultimate goal was to build an extremely radical chopper while keeping the machine a Harley at heart. Immediately after purchasing the bike I put a Sawzall to it. I literally cut this beautiful bike to pieces hours after handing over $13,500 for it." With a frame jig set up in Fonzo's garage, Marty and Fonzo drop-seated the frame, lengthened the backbone and downtubes, and raked the neck out to 45 degrees. They also cut and widened the back of the frame to accept a 280mm rear tire. As you can see, Marty bolted up dual Mikuni 42s. You may also notice the stainless steel oil lines Marty bent up. But wait there's four lines you say? They are: oil feed, oil return, vent, and the last one contains the wires from the hand shifter to the solenoid. As you can see, Marty bolted up dual Mikuni 42s. You may also notice the stainless steel o Luckily for Marty, anything he or his cousin couldn't do, the quality craftsmen surrounding them could. Marty received quite a bit of help from James Kaye of Detroit Bros fame and Dale Patterson from Superior Metal Concepts. "The tanks were made from scratch by James. The left-side tank is for gas and holds about 3.5 gallons. The right side is the oil tank and holds 4 quarts. It also has a cutout for the suicide shifter. James also fabricated the dash panel, which houses a Dakota Digital speedo and covers the electronics between the tanks. To keep the front of the bike clean, James created a set of one-off handlebars that mount directly to the top clamp. The bars feature an internal throttle and clutch and the outside diameter of the grips are the same size as the bars for a smooth look from bar end to bar end. Dale chipped in by fabricating the rear fender to perfectly hug the lip of a Weld wheel. The rear of the fender has an LED strip frenched into it. Dale also bent and welded up the hot rod pipes, which feature a four-into-one design that connects to the 3-inch turnout muffler. For the foot controls, Marty wanted something not usually found on a chopper or hot-rod-style bike, a heel-toe shifter setup. So Dale cannibalized some PM controls and created a one-off set of forwards that feature a left-side heel-toe shifter. When most people want to clean up the bars and eliminate a front hand brake but still run a front brake, they usually run a proportioning valve setup off the footbrake that operates both brakes at the same time. Marty on the other hand went a completely different route. On the right side he came up with a front/rear brake design that consists of two side-by-side PM master cylinders and two PM foot controls that work independently of each other. The inner pedal operates the rear and the outer works the front. "There is probably more thought and design into that setup than anything else on the entire bike, Marty commented. "I guarantee no one else has that shit!" As for the powerplant, well that was torn down, and the heads and cylinders were sent to Head Quarters. The heads were ported and polished, the valves were triple angle ground, and the cylinders were matched up for 10.5:1 Wiseco pistons. Upon reassembly, an Andrews .590 lift cam was installed, along with a high-volume, high-pressure oil pump. Backing up the engine, Marty installed a Baker six-speed transmission, which due to his proximity to the Baker facility he had the unique opportunity to watch being built firsthand. Taking things a bit further than your standard modern foot shifting, Marty incorporated a hand-shifter into the mix as well. Like a mad scientist, Marty set the bike up so it can be shifted either by foot or by hand with a mechanism hidden beneath the shifter rod that has two actuation buttons. Slam the shifter forward and it hits the button below, which is connected to a solenoid on the primary side and shifts up a gear. Pull back on the shifter and the rear button fires the solenoid to downshift. While Marty did get some help from Dale and James, the rest of the bike was pretty much garage-built by him and Fonzo. It took Marty about two years to work in all the intricate details he wanted in his '98 Softail Custom makeover, but in the end it truly became a custom Softail. Not a single detail was left out. Marty even made sure every bolt that could be a chrome socket head was a chrome socket head. However, before tearing the bike apart and laying paint to metal, Marty wanted to give it a thorough shakedown run. "I rode the bike for a year in bare metal and primer to make sure all was well before painting," Marty said. "The bike ran excellent. It sounds like a small block Chevy! It's a blast to ride. It takes about two minutes to figure out the controls. It could be a trailer queen but it's not. I ride the piss out of it." You'd be hard pressed to see a brake setup like this. The inside lever bites down on the rear caliper and the outside pedal actuates the front caliper. You'd be hard pressed to see a brake setup like this. The inside lever bites down on the r You don't see too many heel-toe shifter setups on custom hot-rod Softails. 1 | 2 | » | View Full Article By Eric Ellis Enjoyed this Post?

It is a fact that anger has negative effects on our health. Anger and stress can lead to heart and circulation problems (which can lead if left unchecked and untreated to heart attacks and strokes). Anger is palpable you can feel it in the air around an angry person. Those particularly sensitive can be affected severely, getting sick to the stomach, even throwing up when exposed directly to those who are angry.
It is also a fact that meditation has been proven to have a positive effect ones health, leading to a reduction of stress and anger.
I had worked on several meditation techniques for anger, but until I found this nothing ever seemed to work very well. Even if the anger could be controlled through the techniques I used, it was still there, simmering under the surface.
But then I found this technique, and everything has changed I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in getting to the source of their anger, or love, or any other strong emotion.
In his article, entitled The Source is Within, Swami Chaitanhya Keerti says:
Dont worry, Im not going to list all 112. However, Osho gave over 80 talks on the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra. One particularly good talk relating to anger goes as follows:One of the most ancient texts and meditation manuals is Shivas 5,000 year old Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, which is concerned with how to go beyond the mind, to attain glimpses of consciousness that exists apart from the mind. It is taught there that one should not be identified with the mind, and this is our fallacy that we are our minds. For us not to be identified with our minds, to know that the mind is only a moving process, like walking, but not the same as our consciousness this is the message of the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra and its 112 methods of meditation.
When a mood against someone or for someone arises, do not place it on the person in question, but remain centered If hate arises for someone or against someone, or love arises for someone, what do we do? We project it onto the person. If you feel hate towards me, you forget yourself completely in your hate; only I become your object. If you feel love towards me, you forget yourself completely; only I become your object. You project your love or hate or whatsoever upon me. You forget completely the inner center of your being; the other becomes the center. This sutra says, when hate arises or love arises, or any mood for or against anyone, do not project it onto the person in question. Remember you are the source of it.
I love you the ordinary feeling is that you are the source of my love. That is not really so. I am the source; you are just a screen on which I project my love .I draw my love energy and project it onto you. In that love energy projected onto you, you become lovely. You may not be lovely to someone else; you may be absolutely repulsive to someone else. Why? If you are the source of love then everyone will feel love towards you, but you are not the source. I project love, then you become lovely; someone projects hate, then you become repulsive. And someone else doesnt project anything, he is indifferent; he may not even have looked at you. What is happening? We are projecting our own moods upon others .
.When a mood against someone or for someone arises, do not place it on the person in question. Remain centered. Remember that you are the source, so do not move to the other, move to the source. When you feel hate do not go to the object. Go to the point from where the hate is coming. Go not to the person to whom it is going, but to the center from where it is coming. Move to the center, go within. Use your hate, or love, or anger or anything as a journey towards your inner center, to the source. Move to the source and remain centered there .
.Someone has insulted you anger suddenly erupts, you are feverish. Anger is flowing towards the person who has insulted you. Now you will project this whole anger onto him. He has not done anything. If he has insulted you, what has he done? He has just pricked you, he has helped your anger to rarise, but the anger is yours.
The other is not the source; the source is always within you. The other is hitting the source, but if there is no anger within you, it cannot come out. If you hit the Buddha, only compassion will come out because only compassion is there. Anger will not come out because anger is not there. For this technique, remembger that you are the source of everything that you go on projecting onto others. And whenever there is a mood against or for, immediately move within and go to the source from where this hate is coming. Remain centered there; do not move to the object. Someone has given you a chance to be aware of your own anger thank him immediately and forget him. Close your eyes, move within, and now look at the source from where this love or anger is coming. From where? Go within, move within. You will find the source there because the anger is coming from your source .
It is easy to go to the source at the moment you are angry or in love or in hate, because then you are hot. It is easy to move in then. The wire is hot and you can take it in, you can move inward with that hotness. And when you reach a cool point within, you will suddenly realize a different dimension, a different world opening before you. Use anger, use hate, use love to go within

London, Titan Books, November 2012, hardcover $39.95 (192 pages).
Dark Shadows: The Visual Companion is another "not the making of" art book that nevertheless contains "scores of photos, concept drawings, production designs, and interviews with the cast and crew," to quote the back-cover blurb. This book is more for the Dark Shadows fan than for the filmmaker looking for VFX technical information, but the latter will still find much of interest here.
Dark Shadows the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp movie, released in May 2012, is inspired by and a tribute to the original Dark Shadows "gothic soap opera" television series of June 1966 to April 1971, created by Dan Curtis. The 2012 movie is a summary of the plot of the five-year TV series. In the 1760s-1770s the Collins family emigrates from Liverpool, England to the Maine seacoast in North America and establishes a prosperous fishing village, Collinsport, dominated by an ornate mansion, Collinwood. Barnabas Collins, the young heir of the family (Johnny Depp), forms a romantic relationship with the family maid, Angelique (Eva Green), but is not interested in carrying it beyond a momentary flirtation. Angelique, a jealous powerful witch, kills Barnabas' parents and bespells his true love, Josette du Pres (Bella Heathcote), into jumping from a cliff into the sea. When Barnabas, grief-stricken, follows her to his death, Angelique curses him to become an immortal vampire. Angelique leads the Collinsport villagers to capture and bury him.
Almost 200 years later, in 1972, Barnabas' coffin is dug up by construction workers, releasing him. He returns to Collinwood to find it a decaying remnant of its past glory, inhabited by only seven people: Elizabeth (Michelle Pffeiffer), the current family leader, her 15-year-old daughter Carolyn (Chloë Grace Moretz), her weak brother Roger (Jonny Lee Miller), Roger's 10-year-old son David (Gulliver McGrath), David's live-in psychiatrist Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), Willie the sullen caretaker (Jackie Earle Haley), and David's just-hired governess, Victoria Winters, who Barnabas recognizes as the reincarnation of Josette. Barnabas, struggling to restrain his lust for blood, poses as a distant relative come to rebuild the family fortune, revealing his true identity and nature only to Elizabeth to show her a rich treasure hidden within the mansion. Elizabeth has Collinwood cleaned and renovated, and Barnabas and Victoria resume their interrupted love; but Angelique, who has used her witchcraft to remain young and to impoverish the Collins over 200 years, is furious. She destroys the Collinsport fishery, turns Carolyn into a werewolf, and again incites the townsfolk against all the inhabitants of Collinwood. In the dramatic climax, Barnabas' and Angelique's true natures are exposed, and Angelique tries to destroy Collinwood and the last of the Collins family in a spectacular sorcerous battle.
The book begins with photos of director Tim Burton together with Johnny Depp in his Barnabas Collins makeup, and a few publicity photos of the original TV series featuring Jonathan Frid as Barnabas. The "History" reveals that it was Dan Curtis who approached Johnny Depp early in the 2000s about starring as Barnabas Collins in a theatrical feature remake of Dark Shadows. Depp liked the idea, but at the time he was contracted for other films. Later, after completing his other commitments (and unfortunately after Curtis had died), Depp took the idea to Tim Burton who enthusiastically undertook it. The story of the making of the film is detailed.
The "Cast" is the longest chapter, from pages 20 to 68. This focuses upon the main characters, with close-up photos of them and behind-the-camera photos of them being directed by Tim Burton. Other chapters include "The Sets", "Costume – Hair & Makeup – Prosthetics", "Cinematography – Stunts – Special Effects", and "Visual Effects – Editing – Scoring". All are full of beautifully posed publicity photos, and many show Burton's sketchy preliminary designs of what he wanted the characters to look like.
Apparently I would not make a good cinematographer, because many of what I guessed while seeing the movie to be the special effects and the visual effects are described here as the reverse. The transparent ghost of Josette floating through Collinwood's halls is a special effect, while Angelique's face cracking like a broken doll in the climactic battle is a visual effect. AWN's readers will be disappointed that so little space in this book is given to the special and visual effects. Still, Dark Shadows is a live-action movie, and this book delivers what its subtitle promises: it is an excellent "visual companion" and souvenir of the film for Dark Shadows' many fans.
(Although it cannot be told from this book, the effective music by Danny Elfman is the closest to a traditional film score that I have heard for a Tim Burton feature. It should be noted that co-Producer Richard D. Zanuck died just after writing the Afterword to this book.)
