29 CFR 4902.3 - Procedures for determining existence of and requesting access to records.
§ 4902.3
Procedures for determining existence of and requesting access to records.
Any individual may submit a request to the Disclosure Officer, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, for the purpose of learning whether a system of records maintained by the PBGC contains any record pertaining to the requestor or obtaining access to such a record. Such a request may be sent to the Disclosure Officer or made in person between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on any working day. Current information on how to make a request, including the Disclosure Officer's mailing address and location, can be obtained on PBGC's Web site, http://www.pbgc.gov.
Each request submitted pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section shall include the name of the system of records to which the request pertains and the requester's full name, home address and date of birth, and shall prominently state the words, "Privacy Act Request." If this information is insufficient to enable the PBGC to identify the record in question, or to determine the identity of the requester (to ensure the privacy of the subject of the record), the disclosure officer shall request such further identifying data as the disclosure officer deems necessary to locate the record or to determine the identity of the requester.
Unless the request is only for notification of the existence of a record and such notification is required under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552 ), the requester shall be required to provide verification of his or her identity to the PBGC as set forth in paragraph (c)(1) or (2) of this section, as appropriate.
If the request is made by mail, the requester shall submit a notarized statement establishing his or her identity.
If the request is made in person, the requester shall show identification satisfactory to the disclosure officer, such as a driver's license, employee identification, annuitant identification or Medicare card.
The disclosure officer shall respond to the request in writing within 10 working days after receipt of the request or of such additional information as may be required under paragraph (b) of this section. If a request for access to a record is granted, the response shall state when the record will be made available.

Grid: L-6 Location: Dark Forest Forest
The screams from the men dying was deafening. The Wolfpack was now regrouping behind Baron Decanis and some Falcon Mercenaries. The Wolfpack and Falcons charged up the hill. The Foresters drew their battleaxes, swords, and knives and prepared for hand-to-hand fighting. The Wofpack and Falcon army crashed into the opposing force but were repelled. They again attacked but were again repelled.
Decanis shouted. 'They have cover from the woods we can't defeat them."
"We must eliminate them or they will aid Radjar and his men at Hemlock." Yelled Judas Nightblacke.
So the Wolfpack and Falcon army charged again. But seeing tat the battle was hopeless Judas withdrew his men and left the Wolfpack for the Foresters. The Foresters surrounded the Wolfpack and slaughtered them and Decanis was injured by Fraun himself. And said.
"It looks like your friends left you. Care to tell me who they are?"
"Well. I was hoping you would tell me but…" Fraun drew his sword and prepared to slice Decani's throat.
"No wait it was Judas Nightblacke."
"Judas Nightblacke. Hm…….never heard of him. You lie"
"No, no that is his name. Judas Nightblacke. He is a mercenary or something rather. That is all I know please release me."
"Yeah right. I think I'll keep you for a little insurance." The Foresters tended to the wounded and camped for the night. But in the morning Fraun discovered that Decanis had escaped.

Gorgeous dress, fits TTS. Normally I find this brand to be too small across the chest, but this one is good. The lining stops it from being see through. Size P is good for a short person too. I am 5' 2" and the size P is only slightly longer than shown on the model. Perfect Christmas Day dress.

November 11, 2010 Numbers On Ice Zach Parise Injury Hasn't Doomed Devils
by Tom Awad
Displaying pretext
The last four months have been the worst time to be a New Jersey Devils fan in recent history. From the summer soap opera of the Ilya Kovalchuk saga, until the start of the season the roster was in question because of cap concerns that have yet to be fully resolved. When injuries hit, the Devils could only dress 15 skaters for a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, and coach John MacLean even scratched Kovalchuk for one game, with a rift between player and coach apparent.
Perceived as a Stanley Cup contender at the start of the season, the Devils now sit at 4-10-1 with the fewest points in the NHL. But the worst news of all is that Zach Parise, the Devils' best player, will miss three months recovering from a torn meniscus. Is the Devils' season doomed? Not necessarily, but it sure doesn't look good.
Parise is a top-10 talent in the NHL. Over the last two seasons, Parise is fourth in goals and tied for sixth in points (ironically, with Kovalchuk) among all NHL players. Puck Prospectus' GVT metric puts his value at roughly 23 goals per season, meaning he has been the third most valuable forward -- behind Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby -- in the entire league. This means the loss of Parise for three months (approximately 40 games) should cost the Devils 12 goals in goal differential. Since there are about three goals per point in the standings, that means four fewer points in the standings than they could have been expected to collect with Parise in the lineup.
This may not seem like a lot for a superstar like Parise, but superstars get a lot of ice time to achieve their numbers. Over the last two seasons, Parise has produced 2.52 points per 60 minutes at even strength and 5.11 points per 60 minutes at 5-on-4. An average NHL third-liner scores 1.55 points at even strength and 3.4 on the power-play. That means a third-liner with Parise's ice time would have about 30 points fewer than Parise over the course of a full season, which is a significant but not disastrous loss in production.

Granted this was written before Lou Without a Clue Lamoriello brought back Jacques Lemaire, but I think Parise or no, the Devils miss the playoffs this season for the first time in a very long time.

AJ's Royal Canal Life Posted by AJ Vosse
Hi All, Today's blog post covers my walk from the foot bridge west of Nead's Bridge... that favourite spot of MF & 31B... all the way into Mullingar. It was a good walk... apart from the weather. There is much history in the area so I want to go back and have another look. I hope you enjoy this section as well... don't forget to go over to my 'Royal Canal Life' page on the blog to look at some of the other walks... that's if your up for my version of events. Cheers, AJ aka Vossie PS: The next psot... Mullingar Harbour to the Ballinea Bridges will follow in the next few days... [ouchmybackhurts.wordpress.com]
Hi All, You can now read the post detailing the section between Mullingar Harbour and the Ballinea Bridges... Today I'll be off trying to get from the bridges to where Joe has 4E moored... Abbeyshrule... quite some distance to go in one day! Please stop for a chat if you should be passing that way... Cheers for now, enjoy your weekend, Vossie aka AJ [ouchmybackhurts.wordpress.com]
Hi All, More walking tales to keep you occupied... that's if you're that way inclined. Today's blog post covers the longish section from the Ballinea Bridges to Abbeyshrule... about 13 miles. So... be warned... it's quite a long read... have your refreashments at the ready... So long... Vossie aka AJ [ouchmybackhurts.wordpress.com]
Just to prove I'm not totally Royal Canal biased... Barge on the Barrow... Bagenalstown Lock...
To answer your question about the water levels... they seem as low as the Long Level on the RC... have a look-see at the spill weir above the lock... not much water has gone over there in a while... As for Moneybags... not familiar with him/her... please introduce me... I could do with some of the contents of said bags... [ouchmybackhurts.wordpress.com]
Hi All, I'm a little short on RC walking news so I'm being slightly bold and inviting you over to the blog for a look-see at another tale... well, the start of another tale. I will say that boats, 2 in particular, play very important parts in the development and outcome of that little saga... but that's for the future. As for my RC walks... let's hope the weather is a little kinder in the next few weeks so I can go off and complete the walks without getting too wet and cold... Cheers for now, happy reading... Vossie aka AJ [ouchmybackhurts.wordpress.com] PS - I'll feature a few boats again on Monday or Tuesday... PSS - Don't forget to go over to the Royal Canal Life page... there you can find all the summer's RC action on one page... enjoy...
Hi All, Thanks to Mick Farrell for asking me down to Louisa Bridge to join in with the collection of building material for a quick BBQ... fun was had by all... as can be seen over on Mick's work party post and on my blog entry today... Cheers, AJ aka Vossie [ouchmybackhurts.wordpress.com] PS - Hold thumbs the weather improves a bit this next weekend... I have to get my RC walk completed soon... before the snow arrives
Hi All, Just a quick note to say I've not given up on my quest to reach the Shannon... managed to do Abbeyshrule to Lock 40 yesterday. I'll have the post done by Wednesday or Thursday... In the meantime... how about visiting a fellow blogger's site to have a look at what our friends across the pond were up to not so long ago... Have fun, AJ aka Vossie [hallysann.wordpress.com]
Thanks Mick, There's still life in me yet... and out on the canal... I looked longingly toward the north west... just past Lock 40... PS - I'm trying to plan for including the Longford Branch... will I be able to walk the whole length or is the towpath closed to the public?
I think it is Vossie, but I'm not certain. I could only get up the first 100 ft or so...!! M(W&W)F
Hi Vosse Stephen and I walked it a few times between 2009 and 2010. With good boots it should present no difficulty. We haven't been there yet in 2011 and probably won't be, at this rate, but I can't see why it should be any different now! We did it in runners (him) and sandals (me), but we did it on good weather days and took it in stages suitable for his then 5 year-old legs. There are ample opportunities to cross the canal and return on the opposite bank, or gain access to the road and return that way, which makes it very family friendly for walking, though obviously that'll be of little relevance to you! Hope that helps Duncan
Someone else recommended this book some time back and I got it on that recommendation. ISTR it was out of print. and it cost me a lot more than ?7 but well worth it as I find cycling the canals an enjoyable and not too strenuous way of getting exercise.

Hi All, I have made it to the Shannon... well, to Richmond Harbour and Lock 46... Good to see old friend Float 3 waiting for me... could I not bring her back this way?

Google admits its SEO could use a little work
Google has published a detailed, 49-page report that rates the search engine optimization (SEO) on its various properties including the Google search home page. The result? It's failing in a number of categories.
On the bright side, the company says it plans to use this information to better its own SEO, and that to help others, the company has shared some of the metrics it's used.
The report covers 100 of Google's products. The company is also planning a follow-up that will cover international localizations.

Park Geun-hye's way
Arrogant, egotistical image is last thing she needs
Unless something major comes up, the governing Saenuri Party will likely pick its presidential candidate at a national convention Aug. 20. And, unless some new sensation appears, Park Geun-hye will be the standard-bearer of the conservative majority party. Despite ― or because of ― this seemingly unalterable outcome, the atmosphere in the ruling party is not very positive. And the reason for this mainly lies with the likely runner herself. The 60-year-old veteran politician has flatly snubbed persistent calls from her in-house rivals for introducing an open primary system, which selects the candidate completely based on popular selection. In comparison, the current rule mixes the opinions of party delegates and those of the general public in a 50-50 ratio. Park has sufficient, and plausible, reasons to stick to the status quo. Above all, she doesn't want to repeat her bitter experience of losing to President Lee Myung-bak at a primary five years ago because of an 11th-hour rule change made to reflect popular choices more. The system itself has some loopholes, too, including possible abuse by political opponents disguised and registered as bona fide participants in what party officials describe as ``adverse selection." However, if Park resists the open primary for fear of possible attacks from her rivals and resultant internal injuries, the problem will be serious. For Park, daughter of the general-turned-president Park Chung-hee who ruled the nation for 18 years from 1961, her father's dual legacy of economic growth and democratic hindrance is both an asset and burden. The former governing party leader apologized to the ``unintended victims of industrialization" a few times but has never denigrated actions her father took for this country, including the bad ones, by, for instance, describing a military coup d'etat as a ``resolution to save the country." This may be understandable on a human level but not in terms of her role as a politician, much less a possible leader. And Park's lack of flexibility and tolerance, as shown in her refusal to even discuss the revision of primary rules, explains why this seasoned politician's adherence to principle and trustworthiness can degenerate into arrogance and self-righteousness. Park even gave the impression of resembling, or imitating, her father when she demanded ``clear views of the state" from some leftist lawmakers, reminding older voters of the elder Park who persecuted opponents by painting them red. That she appears reluctant to communicate with her rivals nor allow little difference of views within the party also takes voters back to the 1960s and'70s when ends justified all means in this country. Park, who has been single for all her life, holds many attractions as a politician, such as her dedication to the country, a ``woman married to the ROK," as her followers say. Park also moved several clicks to the left by inventing her own version of welfare state and economic democracy. Unless Park is able to overcome her father's negative legacy, however, her ultimate dream may remain just as that. |

Catherine Pritchard
Q: Can you provide information about how to get involved in the event where they fly flags in honor of veterans outside the downtown museum around Memorial Day? I'd like to have a flag flown in honor of my husband. - M.S., Fayetteville
A: You're talking about the North Carolina Field of Honor on the parade grounds of the Airborne & Special Operations Museum, and there are a number of ways to arrange sponsorship of a flag there.
You can do so online at ncfieldofhonor.com or go to the site to download a form that you can turn in with a $25 payment.
You also can do this through the Downtown Alliance's office at 222 Hay St. or at the Airborne & Special Operations Museum at 100 Bragg Blvd.
You may list one honoree per flag.
The Field of Honor opens on the second Saturday of May each year.
This year, that's May 11. There'll be a dedication ceremony that day at 11 a.m.
Each flag will have a yellow ribbon attached listing its sponsor and honoree, and there will be information showing where each flag is.
The flags will fly until June 22.
Q: I have received several calls from a number that doesn't connect to anything when I call it back and that seems clearly to be bogus. I did an Internet search, and the number's area code isn't even active. How can they get a number like this to appear on my caller ID, and can you find out who it belongs to? - D.L., Fayetteville
A: The caller is spoofing you - but in a way that's totally not funny.
They're using technology to mask their true number(s) with a fake one. Sometimes caller ID spoofing has a legitimate purpose - a company uses the technology to present its main number on all outgoing calls made from various lines. But spoofing is also used illegally by telemarketers, including some debt collectors and debt consolidators.
Report the calls - and the spoofed number they appear to be coming from - to your phone service provider, the N.C. Attorney General's office (877-566-7226), the Federal Communications Commission (888-225-5322) and the Federal Trade Commission (877-382-4357).
Q: The new state road maps are also available for free at the Fayetteville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau at 245 Person St. - D.C., Fayetteville
A: Thanks, D.C., aka Denise J. Comulada, the bureau's director of visitor information.
The bureau is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

How Hybrid Apps will help your Mobile Marketing Strategy
By Zvika Ashkenazi, CEO MobileAppLoader.com
Ever since the "App Store" phenomenon began, there have been many discussions pitting Native Apps against Web Apps. Which are better? To me, this debate is peculiar – a bit like asking business owners, "Would you rather have a website or a phone number?"
Technologies often work synergistically to generate more business. When it comes to Native Apps and Web Apps, both are important to businesses that want to build a comprehensive Mobile Marketing Strategy.
Let's start by defining our terms. Native Apps are mobile phone applications that are downloaded from the App store and are customized to run on a particular type of mobile device, like an iPhone, iPad or Android device. Web Apps, on the other hand, reside on the web, and users link to them with phone browsers
My advice? Based on our experience at MobileAppLoader – which has 1,000 customers with Apps in App Stores – I recommend taking a holistic approach. That means building Hybrid Apps, which combine the benefits of both native and web-based applications.
Why are Native Apps so critical to businesses? Hard data indicates that people are spending more time with Apps than on the web these days. Let's look at some recent statistics, reported by Flurry Analytics, showing that consumers spend a daily 81 minutes with mobile Apps and only 74 minutes on the Web.
"Our analysis shows that, for the first time ever, daily time spent in mobile apps surpasses desktop and mobile web consumption. This stat is even more remarkable if you consider that it took less than three years for native mobile apps to achieve this level of usage, driven primarily by the popularity of iOS [iPhone/iPad/iPod] and Android platforms," Flurry reports. *
If you are still not convinced that your business needs an App, I recommend asking yourself a few questions:
- Are your customers mobile?
- Do your customers use mobile devices?
- Will prospective customers be searching for your business – and businesses like yours – on their mobile devices?
- Does your business need to reflect cutting-edge technology?
I won't argue that every business needs a mobile marketing strategy, but many clearly do. For instance, if most of your customers are 25-44 years old, you need a plan. People in this age group comprise 50% of all smartphone users in the market, according to a recent ComScore report. **
There are a total of 70 Million smart devices in the US market today – and the number is growing. If you decide not to pursue a mobile marketing strategy for your business now, there is a good chance you'll need to reconsider soon. It is estimated that in 2011, nearly half of all mobile devices will be smart phones, giving their users easy access to App Stores. Customers will expect all businesses to have an App – just like, somewhat more than a decade ago, customers began expecting every business to have a website.
So when planning your Mobile Marketing Strategy, what kind of App should you choose?
- a Native App, which can be found in an App Store and downloaded directly to your phone's home screen? (It launches on the phone's native operating system (OS), hence the name "Native.")
Or, should you choose
- a web app? (This is a website that looks like an App.) In very simple terms, a web app displays web pages that are narrowed to fit the screen-size of the device. Touch buttons within the app are, in fact, links to different web-based URLs. This type of app, however, can only be utilized after launching mobile browsers and typing in the relevant URLs.
Both of the aforementioned apps serve a purpose, and when thinking about your mobile marketing strategy, it's wise to consider the synergy between Native Apps and the Web Apps. Each can complement the other – and work independently in certain scenarios.
Native Apps have several unique features that help consumers discover your business and help your business engage consumers on a regular basis.
- Discover – If you don't have a Native App, you won't be discovered in the App Stores. Period. You won't exist. To become visible to the growing market of people spending more time with Apps than on the Web, you need a Native App, which is listed and searchable in App Stores.
- Engagement - Once your customers have downloaded your Native App, you can send them alerts, otherwise known as "notifications." This is a feature unique to native apps. Web apps cannot offer it. With the ability to send alerts/notifications, your business can broadcast news about sales, merchandise arrivals, even coupons, which can include colorful eye-catching graphics.
Web Apps also have certain advantages, which can be used to complete your mobile strategy.
- Non-App Phones – For mobile devices that offer web browsing but lack App Store access, web apps enable users to view businesses online, provided the phone users have an Internet connection.
- Remote Updating – Web apps tend to be easier to devlop and faster to update.
Symbiosis between Native Apps and Web Apps
MobileAppLoader has developed the Hybrid App, which incorporates advantages of both native and web apps. We believe this has been one key to our success. We combine discoverability, engagement, ease of development and updating, as well as a wide range of apps for iPhones, iPads and Android-based devices.
MobileAppLoader's Hybrid Apps are – put simply – native apps that can also fetch content from the web upon request. Local content, such as phone numbers and street addresses, are always available to users regardless of their phone's Internet connection. Fetched content, such as videos and database searches (e.g. automotive dealership inventory searches and real estate property searches) can be executed upon request. This "fetched" content, which resides on the Internet, is delivered through web-app functionality that is rendered in the Native App. As mentioned earlier, Hybrid Apps also win visibility in App Stores and have the ability to engage customers with alerts/notifications.
Hybrid Apps: The Best of Both Mobile Worlds
The choice isn't either-or. It's both. An effective mobile marketing strategy requires the ability to reach the growing number of Smart Phone users who are spending an increasing amount of time with Apps. When deciding what kind of app to build, don't think in terms of native versus web. You'll need functionalities of both. Think instead of how to offer your customers the best mobile experience – because that reflects well upon you.

Kubrick's "2001" (2000), Leonard F.
Wheat |
In the beginning Stanley Kubrick said, 'Let there be light,'
and there was light...
called his light 2001: A Space Odyssey, and
the comparison to an omnipotent creator would be presumptuous if it werent so apt. 2001 is a work whose pieces are so meticulously
fitted together that it feels less like a movie than a self-contained environment, a
cinematic biosphere to be visited and explored. The product of a celestial alignment of
man, medium, and material, its a visionary fantasy made by a director whos
eager to draw viewers into his world. Seen today, its easy to understand why its
1968 release cast an instant shadow over the cultural landscape, and how it eclipsed
filmgoers understanding of just what a movie can be.
2001 is structured as a four-act precis of the
human experience, from the first spark of intelligence in our ape-like ancestors to an
Everymans metamorphosis into a life-form poised between the human and the divine.
The films movement is continually outward, away from ourselves, jumping from a
prehistoric scrum over a muddy pool of water to a ship bound for the moon, from a massive
rocket headed for Jupiter to an expedition through another dimension. The transitions are
accompanied by abrupt tonal shifts (the lunar visit in particular ends with a knife-like
twist), leaving the segments to be unified by the recurring appearance of an otherworldly
sculpture that beckons mankind to its destiny. 2001s
diorama spans the history of evolution, and climaxes with the transcendence of human
yet the movie is more complicated than its broadly optimistic trajectory. H.G. Wells once
said that you can see in the eyes of modern man the red-hot look of a caveman glaring out
at you, and Kubrick exposes positivisms soft underbelly with a skeptical vision of
humanity that keeps 2001 from lapsing into New
Age metaphysics or a cosmological Marxism. The homo
sapiens inhabiting it are guarded, emotionally absent creatures, separated from their
weapon-bearing ancestors by a crust of begrudging civility. Their scientific advances are
a misleading measure of their development; mostly their technology has given them an
inflated view of their own importance, making them prone to fits of pride and apathy.
Its a flawed race that may be unworthy of the gifts held out to it.
By the time of Dr. Strangeloves
opening titles, Kubrick had become attuned to the sexual byplay between man and his
machines, the natural result of our tendency to create things in our image. 2001 further conflates the organic and the
artificial, and when an ape-man recognizes a murder weapon in the form of a discarded
bone, technology replaces sex as the nature of our Original Sin. The movies
centerpiece is a deadly battle of wits waged between astronaut Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea)
and the computer HAL 9000. HAL is a unique creation, in equal parts a younger sibling,
scorned lover, and Jewish mother. (I really think Im entitled to an answer to
that question, he nags the astronauts at one point, with a fey lilt in his voice
supplied by Douglas Rain.) The cast of his red and yellow Cycloptic eye
changes with each situation, moving from the look of an eager helpmate to that of a malign
and watchful presence. Obsequious, capable of both embarrassment and cunning, and like any
corporate cog anxious to cover his own butt, HAL is the most overtly human presence aboard
the Discovery. When Bowman disables his memory
bank and sends HALs intelligence into a tailspin of regression, it rakes up every
fear we have about the extinction of our own consciousness.
Kubrick had a singular genius for extracting tension from stillness: in
The Shining
hed create a race-against-time between the length of a Shelley Duvall monologue and
the ash growing on her cigarette. In 2001, after
HAL has murdered his co-pilot, Dave Bowman parks his space pod nose-to-nose with the
mother ship, and the two aircraft hang in space glowering at each other in one of the angriest still images ever captured on film. And
this spirit of minimalism infects the movies actors. Dulleas performance
verges on the immobile, leaving him to express concern and then outrage through minute
readjustments of his cheekbones and the insertion of revealing hitches in his diction.
Given its restraints, his performance is surprisingly effective, good enough to make us
bristle along with Bowman when HAL condescendingly refers to human error.
2001s reputation is baffling if one focuses
too much on its story. The films coda, in which Dave Bowman completes an accelerated
version of his life-cycle and is transformed into the Star Child, is a meandering letdown
that plainly taxed Kubricks imagination. After the taut confrontation with HAL and
the light-show that carries Bowman into his new existence, one wants something more than
slippery symbolism, a room dressed like a Versailles bedchamber, and the art-film flourish
of a man emptily contemplating a broken wine-glass.
But like The Birth of a Nation
and Citizen Kane, 2001s seminal position in film history
doesnt stem from its content. Its not important for what it says, but for what
it is: a one-of-a-kind experience. New 70-mm. prints of 2001 will be touring a few American cities this
winter, and viewing the film in this optimal form drives home the point that seeing it in
degraded 35-mm. prints or on television is tantamount to seeing a Bengal tiger confined in
a zooits not seeing it at all. Its designed as a large experience, and in widescreen projection it
becomes a wall of sensation that absorbs our attention. The new prints also feature a
digitally remastered soundtrack that allows us to hear in pristine form the movies
famous scorecourtesy of the Strausses and Ligeti, among othersand its array of
imaginative sound effects, such as the percussive blasts of an astronauts breaths
during a long space-walk.
Some critics and movie buffs (including this one) would criticize
Kubricks subsequent films for their sacrifice of human to formal concerns. With its
deliberate pacing and chilly tableaux, 2001
looks like as if it belongs with Barry Lyndon, A Clockwork Orange,
and Full Metal Jacket,
as another heartless objet in Kubricks ice
museum. But its lab-controlled atmosphere is humanized by weightlessness gags and a scene
of wry toilet humor, by the sequence in which a scientists subordinates kiss up to
him over a shrink-wrapped chicken sandwich, and by such spectacularly unnecessary
curlicues as the Blue Danube docking sequence. Its an offhandedly
prescient movie, foretelling the eagerness of corporate multinationals to secure a toehold
in space and, as if it were a matter of small concern in the late 1960s, the end of the
Cold War. Above all there are the majestic collages of space and the heavenly bodies, of
natures grandeur in its largest conceivable form.
Kubrick carefully separated the chaos of the 60s from his movie,
so that his work seems to have dropped from the sky, untouched by the events that produced
Bonnie and Clyde or Weekend. In look if
nothing else, 2001 has influenced nearly every
sci-fi movie that came after it, especially in the starkly lit, infinitely detailed
spacecraft models gliding across a velvety black frame. But nearly all of its descendants,
with their smorgasbord of special effects and one-dimensional villainy, shrivel to nothing
when their creators imaginations are weighed against Kubricks. None of them
would see in the stars what he saw in them: a
mysterious yet benign extension of the same natural forces that animate the cottonwood and
the tapir. In an extraordinary outburst of heaven-sent clarity, Stanley Kubrick was
allowed to see past himself and the rest of us, and to cavort with the gods of the
- Tom Block

Right. I know it's a demo....but...I mean...What the fuck is this? Cradle of Filth meets traditional metal meets the North Layton Jr High glee club after five too many bong rides, with a mix that makes you wonder how they forgot to replace the guide vocal tracks with the finals. This is a confusing record is what I am saying. And unfortunately not in the "cool, didn't see that coming" kind of way. In the "how did this band get into a studio" way.
If that were all, it would be bad enough, but the band sounds like they tried to combine eight or nine song ideas into four tracks and forgot to rehearse the transitions. Maybe they were in a hurry and had to make it up as they went? The transitions are so awkward you want to find the band and just stop them for the sake of pity. Add to this one of the worst - worst - solos I have ever heard in the song "Nightfall" and you have the makings of a legendarily bad record.
This is a bit odd, because the band seems to be pretty good about half the time. As a listener you find yourself trying to put the songs into some kind of context, but something always happens to fuck it up and you are left scratching your head. If it makes it any more clear, I will say that the vocal-less track "Revelation" is easily the most consistent and best track on here. But it has some of the same problems as the other songs.
The quality of musicianship is hard to pinpoint. The rhythm guitars and rhythm section, except when doing a transition, are actually pretty good. The lead guitar is either very good or fucking awful, depending on some criteria we are not privy to. The female lead vocalist is far too wispy to make this music work, even apart from how deep she is in the mix. Her voice doesn't work at all with this music, but she seems to be able to hit the notes. The male vocal is mostly inaudible and pompously lame when not. But perhaps the real enigma is the mix. The lead guitar is far, FAR too loud. The drums and bass have a good, round, albeit demo sound. The vocals are so far back and so gutted that I can't even pretend to know what the band was after. Unless it was to sound ridiculous.
Bottom line? You don't need this. It's a mess; a shabby, amateurish joke. It's not something you would pay money for or attention to. I paid it all the attention it deserves. You're welcome. To the band - if you made it this far - you do have something worth working on here, I think. At the very least get your transitions down. Build those fucking bridges. Adjust for your vocalist, maybe. But never try to release something like this for review again. The game's at a level that makes this EP, even as a demo, unacceptable. I suspect time was your adversary. Take more in every area and let's see what you can really do.

Cocky upstart. Wow what a way to be described. That's exactly what they call South Jersey native Scoop Lo. Born in Camden New Jersey music has been his lifes major alternative. He says he doesn't like to get into personal matters.When you've seen it all you don't want to hear anything. Going threw transitions that leave most people scarred Scoop is surprisingly optimistic. They say it's hard to make a transition from the streets to the fame. How much of a understatemant that is? How about to the fame just to be back were you started? Being one half of rap/rb duo Gemini seemed to be the next big thing. Sometimes small things kill the big things. Scoop was left to either sink or swim. Swimming was it. A few choice meetings and he was back at it. With the help of Kajimir Royale at the production helm he came delivering blow after blow to the music industry. He's opened up for the likes of Trey songz, Fabolous,Young Jeezy,Travis Porter,Jay Sean,State Property and Juelz Santana. He also has played genre mixed shows with June Divided and Mostly coats and numerous clubs. He is currently wrapping up the BET blaze the stage tour Described as a threat to some of today's top performers,his performance is nothing less then fantastic.

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
James Arlington Wright was born and reared in Martins Ferry, Ohio, near Wheeling, West Virginia, a small town on the Ohio River that provides the setting and background for a number of his poems. Following high school, he served for three years in the U.S. Army in the aftermath of World War II. Upon his return he attended Kenyon College in Ohio, where he began writing poetry. After graduation he spent a year in Austria as a Fulbright fellow and then entered graduate school at the University of Washington, where he obtained both M.A. and Ph.D. degrees.
He began teaching at the University of Minnesota in 1957, later moving to Macalaster College in St. Paul. Yale University Press in 1957 published his first book, The Green Wall, in its Yale Younger Poets Series, a remarkable achievement for a writer still in graduate school. The volume received positive reviews, especially for its skillful versification and formal facility. A second book, Saint Judas, appeared in 1959, the year Wright completed his Ph.D. dissertation; this volume, too, gained critical applause. These first two books are noteworthy in that some of Wright's best-known and most often reprinted pieces appeared in them, particularly "Arrangements with Earth for Three Dead Friends," "A Winter Day in Ohio," and "The Alarm." These books also established Wright's...

By all measures, Wright deserves his ranking as one of the foremost American poets of the twentieth century. He is honored by annual convocations in his name held by common readers. He will long be remembered for his heart-wrenching realizations of animals, children, and familiar but rarely perceived states of mind.

Biography (Critical Survey of Poetry: American Poets)
As he proclaims in many of his poems, James Arlington Wright was born in Martins Ferry, Ohio. Although he spent much of his adult life in New York City, Wright returned again and again in memory to the Ohio Valley he loved and despised with equal and intense passion for inspiration as well as material for his poems. His imagination was fired by the loneliness and emptiness of the lives of the Ohioans of his youth and by the occasional flashes of kindness, charity, and decency they showed. At the same time, Wright's preoccupation with steel mills and strip mines confirms a profound concern for the beauty of nature that human beings so indifferently trample upon in the name of economic gain.
Wright left Ohio during World War II and served with the American Occupation Forces in Japan. Upon his discharge, he enrolled at Kenyon College, where he studied literature under John Crowe Ransom. Wright has since acknowledged that this association was a turning point for him, and the traditional structures of his first book, The Green Wall, reflect Ransom's influence. Wright's second volume, Saint Judas, was published in the same year as Robert Lowell's Life Studies, the book that more than any other marked the end of literary modernism in poetry. Lowell and Wright were working independently in the same direction, toward freedom from the insistence on objectivity that had characterized such great modern poets as T. S. Eliot, Ezra...

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
James Arlington Wright is one of the most significant poetic voices reacting to what has been called the "high modernist" American poetry of the early twentieth century, represented by T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and others. His early break from this type of highly formal poetry was associated with the "deep image" school of Robert Bly but soon outgrew such categories. Wright was born in Martins Ferry, Ohio, an industrial town on the upper Ohio River, in 1927, fourteen months before the stock market crash that precipitated the Great Depression of the 1930's. The insecurities of an industrial town during the Depression haunt his poetry, and the Ohio Valley, with its paradoxical conflux of natural beauty and industrial ugliness, remained prominent in his imagery, even in his poetry written in Europe.
Despite this emphasis on his Ohio home in his writing, Wright's early years were marked by his keen desire to get away from it. Upon graduation in 1946, he enlisted in the Army and served a tour in Japan. After completing military service, Wright entered Kenyon College in 1948. His senior year, 1952, was filled with milestones: He married his high school sweetheart, Liberty Kardules; had his first poem published in the Western Review; won the Robert Frost Poetry Prize; and received a Fulbright scholarship to the University of Vienna. His first...

Biography (Poetry for Students)
James Wright was born in 1927 in Martins Ferry, Ohio, a small industrial town in the southeastern part of the state. Located just across the Ohio River from Wheeling, West Virginia, Martins Ferry shares with its bordering neighbor rows of factories and steel mills where most of the towns' men worked when Wright was growing up. His own father dropped out of school at an early age and spent fifty years at Hazel-Atlas Glass, a factory that would appear in several of Wright's poems. Wright loved his father but detested the life his father lived and vowed not to fall victim to it himself. He used education as a means to escape Martins Ferry, earning his bachelor's degree from Kenyon College in 1952 and his master's and doctorate degrees from the University of Washington in 1954 and 1957. At Kenyon, he studied under John Crowe Ransom, a well-known and highly respected poet regarded as one of the founding fathers of the New Criticism. Ransom's influence on Wright's style was evident in the young poet's early work, which was well crafted and usually formal in style like that of the New Critics. Before leaving Kenyon, Wright received the Robert Frost Poetry Prize. At the University of Washington, Wright studied under Theodore Roethke, also one of America's foremost poets at the time, and Roethke's work as well profoundly influenced Wright's own, sending it in a more casual, "loose" direction. Over the years, Wright's poetry and publications became as...

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
Grocery shoppers in Boulder will have to pay a 10-cent fee on paper and plastic bags starting in July under an ordinance approved by the City Council.
The Daily Camera reports the City Council voted 7-0 to approve the measure on a fourth reading Thursday.
The fee will apply to paper and plastic bags at food retailers, including grocery stores, convenience stores and Target. Gas station stores will be exempt if food sales are less than 2 percent of their business.
Retailers will keep 4 cents of the fee to cover their costs of administering the program. The city plans to use the rest of the money to pay for outreach about reusable bags and to distribute free reusable bags to low-income residents.

Origins News Round-up for December 6, 2013
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Where is human evolution going? Where has human evolution been? A roundup of stories from the past few weeks.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
Join astrobiologist Stephen Freeland for a look into the nature of information and the origins of life on earth. (These posts were originally published as a paper in the ASAs academic journal, PSCF, and are reprinted here with permission.)
It is precisely the recognition of the qualities of elegance, economy and naturalness which solves the problem of the under-determination of theory by experiment, so often pressed by philosophers of science, who sometimes speak of the process of discovery as if it were a dull routine of fitting curves to data points.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
The Galápagos Islands were not a distinct "center of creation," but a workshop for evolution in which an ancestral species made it to the yet uncolonized island and underwent a massive degree of speciation to adapt to the environment of the island. This is precisely what one would expect if the species of islands had arisen by evolution.
In our current culture, we're defined by our jobs. It's having a vocation. I wanted to shift away from that. I didn't want to be a doctor first and foremost, or a scientist, but one who praises God.
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
BioLogos interim web editor Emily Ruppel recently traveled to Boston for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference, where she took an afternoon off from lecture-going to catch up with Doug Lauffenburger, head of the biological engineering department at MIT and a member of the American Scientific Affiliation.
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.

Sometimes, the timing of events is the perfect way to illustrate a lesson worth learning. In this case, we observe Constitution Week beginning Monday, following a week of worldwide protests that sparked a discussion over the U.S. Constitution's most cherished right. That would be the one found in the First Amendment and published each day at the top of this page. No passage in the document means more, or is more widely debated, than the ...
Little did we know, 11 years ago today, that within 48 hours our lives, our nation, and our world would be changed forever.
It's fitting this year that Labor Day falls between the two national political conventions. In no election in recent memory has the issue of jobs been bigger than in this fall's vote.
As Labor Day weekend approaches, the heat and humidity are easing up a bit, the kids are back in school and we prepare for the rites of autumn.
For many Georgians, the 2012 election season has been a three-act play - part tragedy, part comedy - that is moving toward a final curtain much too slowly.
It doesn't take long for the smoke to clear from the latest shooting incident before politicians, pundits and amateur sociologists get out their magnifying glasses to determine why such horrible acts occur.
Tuesday's primary vote rejecting the transportation sales tax in the Georgia Mountains Region and eight of the 12 other areas in the state begs many questions.
Tuesday's Georgia primary ballot offers many interesting races to lure voters, and early voting figures indicate they are responding.
Nothing casts a pall over summer like the tragedies we've seen on Lake Lanier. Though the number of serious accidents isn't yet that great, a few high profile events have caused a great deal of pain, and pointed out the need for greater safety.
When it comes to cities and counties, there is no perfect system of government, largely because there are no perfect elected officials.
When it comes to government intrusion, many of us nowadays throw our hands up in the air and ask, "Now what?"
There was some good news this week about Lake Lanier. The Supreme Court, in the midst of one of its busiest weeks in memory, brought us closer to a solution in the tri-state water wars without actually producing a decision. The court chose not to hear the case brought by Alabama and Florida to challenge a ruling by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals almost a full year ago. That decision overturned the harsh edict ...
One way you can tell it's an election year is not only by the campaign ads and signs that litter the airways and roadways. Another clear indicator is when a public official launches a new policy plan clearly aimed at voters, or a specific group of them.
This may seem like heresy to many (tea partyers, cover your eyes), but there are occasions when government needs more money. Shocking yes, but true.
When The Times launched an effort to find how timely political candidates were in paying their taxes, little did we know the result would be the revelation that you really can't trust those online tax records posted by the Hall County tax commissioner's office.
There was a time when the biggest school safety worries were someone falling off the playground equipment or a high schooler injured in shop or home economics classes.
With the holiday shopping season upon us, it's a good time to be reminded that the season of conspicuous consumption should mean a little bit more.
Lake Lanier is up, unemployment is down. The world has circled the sun another time and we're still in one piece.
Americans marked a pivotal day in history last week with the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. On this day in 1963, two days after he was slain in Dallas, the fallen president was transferred from the White House to the U.S. Capitol to lie in state as the nation mourned.
Fifty years ago today, a dizzying whirl of events began flying past Americans over a four-day period the likes of which no one had never witnessed.
Atlanta is long known for favoring the new to the old, a fast-moving, profit-focused city that has traditionally bulldozed historic buildings for those more shiny and modern.
A nice tradition has emerged in recent years for Veterans Day. Monday, U.S. service members will be treated to free meals from restaurants, shopping discounts at retailers and similar perks from other businesses aimed to show them the appreciation they have earned so well.

Android Set of Two Interchangeable Alligator 24mm Straps
Switch up the look of your timepiece with exotic interchangeable alligator straps from Android! This set includes two captivating strap choices: a black strap with white accent stitching and a tan strap with brown accent stitching.
Each strap secures with a buckle clasp. For your convenience, the straps feature quick change pins so you can change your look at a moment's notice. Keep your options open with Android!
Please note: These interchangeable straps will fit on any of the Android watches that feature a 24mm quick change pin strap configuration. The measurement of the length is obtained by lining up sections of strap end to end and measuring the strap from tip of the buckle to end of the strap.
Additional Features: One black alligator strap and one tan alligator strap come packaged in a black Android carton box. Handmade in the USA.
Alligator is the crème de la crème hide of the crocodilian species. Found in southern parts of the United States and in areas of China, alligators have a hide that is pliable, durable and typically softer than crocodile. They thrive in fresh water alone and have scales that are relatively flat with a few wrinkles around the edge. If you see many lines or dots in the scales, or notice a drastic change in the adjacency of scales, you are probably looking at caiman hide, a crocodilian counterpart of substantially lower quality.
About the Collection: Reflecting the passion of his customers, veteran designer and founder Wing Liang builds the watches of the future while respecting the past. Wing asserts, "I love to make watches for people who are passionate about their timepieces." Highly esteemed for his innovative designs, Wing combines the traditional values of watch making with modern day living to create highly collectible, futuristic timepieces.
Inspired by the world around him, Wing's curiosity and creativity come alive in every timepiece. The beauty of the movement is mirrored in his case designs, which ornately showcase the gears in skeletal and open-heart designs.

For the seasoned collector, Android offers the crown jewel of watch movements, the tourbillon. With instantly recognizable Android features, the tourbillon commands immediate attention with three-dimensional dials, intriguing colors and imaginatively designed cases, all made from quality materials like ceramic, tungsten and stainless steel. Every Android timepiece is unparalleled in design, each one telling a story while making a statement.

Connecting the Dots
Posted by One Gay at a Time in Gay Dating on May 10, 2012
Just because I said I wasn't going to hit up Grindr constantly in search of sex from strangers didn't mean I couldn't satisfy myself with guys I'd already been with. This way they wouldn't be strangers.
The last time I visited the bar manager in Hoboken, I had a great time. He had an amazing body, and we both really enjoyed each other. Wednesday, when I woke, he happened to be around. There had been a few days I suggested we get together, but he was always heading out-of-town for something. This time, he was available. There was a small snafu. He was sick. He had a sinus infection, so he was worried he'd get me sick. I told him it would be alright. We would simply avoid kissing each other. He told me to come up to his place, and he'd break out the glory hole again.
This visit was pretty much the same drill as my last visit to his apartment. He left the door unlocked. I was to walk in, undress, and saunter up to the hole in the sheet hung in the bathroom doorway. He was waiting for me on the other side. I hopped on my motorcycle and made my way to his place. I did as I was told.
Warning: The following may be too graphic for some. I removed my shorts and inserted myself into the opening. Immediately, he grabbed hold and began to orally pleasure me. It felt amazing. I wasn't fully into the glory-hole thing, but it was making it a little more exciting. It wasn't long before I pulled the curtain back once again. We started kissing each other all over each other's bodies and swapping back to him on his knees. He was wearing his hat, which I'd already knocked on the floor so I could grab hold of his long flowing hair and his boots. It was an incredibly sexy look for him, and he knew it. I couldn't keep my hands off his body.
He turned around and began grinding his backside against my crotch. I was incredibly turned on and excited. It felt so great to simply have his back pressed against my chest with one hand pulling across his chest so keep him close and the other pleasuring his impressive manhood. We continued this action until he was so excited he finished all over the bathroom floor. Everything felt amazing, and I was very close to finishing myself. However, this didn't happen.
Once again, we moved things to the couch. He was all over me and everything felt incredible. I wanted to finish for him so badly. He was awaiting it with great anticipation ever since I first fooled around with him. We played for quite some time, and I kept losing my erection and gaining it again when I would pleasure his endowment. Throughout the whole visit, we were incredibly tempted to kiss, and came close many times, but at the last second withdrew again.
When a large period of time passed, he threw in the towel. He had to get on with his day. He was disappointed, and I was too. Not only disappointed, but also embarrassed. I wanted so much to please him. I wanted to give him exactly what he was looking for, but I came up short.
He walked into the bathroom and threw on a pair of sweatpants. As he walked, I could see his manhood swinging back-and-forth. It was such a turn-on. This is one thing that will always get my engines revving! He loved walking around with his package easily visible as well. It was something he was proud of, making it all the more sexy. I walked up to him and grabbed hold of it. I wish this was something I could do on the street. It would be so hot!
As I got dressed, I made a point to look around a bit. When I last left his place, I suspected he lived with his partner. I indeed confirmed my suspicion when I noticed there was only one bedroom. I also tried to casually scope out the pictures on the wall. The apartment was not decorated like two random roommates living together. It was definitely the residence of a loving couple. I felt a pang of guilt. This guy seemed like a good guy. I was disappointed in him for cheating on his lover. I didn't know the dynamic between the two, but I never liked seeing infidelity. I wasn't passing judgment, but I was putting myself in his mate's shoes. I was a partnered man's affair. Now I knew why we never had full penetration.
I said goodbye and made my way home. This would be the last time I would see him. I wouldn't be the last time I chatted with him. He happened to sign on to Grindr about a week later. I was checking to see if I received any new messages and messaged him just to say hi. He was in Miami. I asked him if his man came with him, and he told me he was at home. Without knowing it, he slipped up and confirmed to me he had a man in his life. I pointed out to him how I caught him in a slip-up. When he originally mentioned the guy, he told me it was his roommate. He acknowledged his lie, and I told him we were cool. I had no hard feelings. It was his life, not mine. I then realized he was probably on Grindr down in Miami looking for a new piece of tail. I told him to enjoy himself, and with that, I said goodbye to him for probably the last time.
