Nobody knows the ins and outs of Jimi Hendrix's guitar sound like Roger Mayer. Mayer introduced Hendrix to his Octavia, a unit that added an octave overtone to the original note. Hendrix loved the sound and used it on the solo to "Purple Haze." The rest, as they say ...
When someone is widely hailed as the greatest guitar player ever, how do you step up and cover one of his songs? Have you ever noticed that the ratio of Metallica tribute albums to Hendrix tribute albums is something like 20 to 1? When's the last time you heard someone say, "Yeah, he played it better than Hendrix," without a clearly present sarcastic tone?

For Joel Hoekstra and Tommy Kessler, it might be like being inside of a time warp. Not only do the guitarists for Broadway's Rock of Ages musical get to perform in the fictional Eighties band Arsenal night after night, but separately, they play music from that same era, even when not performing on the Broadway stage.
In this video, Guitar World's Jimmy Brown shows you how to play "Jingle Bell Rock." Brown goes over several different arrangements of the song, from basic to more involved. Then he covers the melody line. Then you see him play the melody over the chords.

AMD is looking to give its Phenom II series a finale, with a new quad-core Phenom II X4 model, the Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition. The new chip will be clocked at 3.70 GHz out of the box (18.5 x 200 MHz). It achieves this speed while staying within the 125W TDP envelope. Based on the 45 nm "Deneb" silicon, the X4 980 BE features four x86-64 cores with 512 KB dedicated L2 cache each, and a 6 MB shared cache. Compatible with AM3 and AM2+ sockets, the chip packs a dual-channel memory controller that supports DDR3-1333 MHz or DDR2-1066 MHz memory standards. AMD will unveil the new chip soon, as the company gears up to launch next-generation chips in June. Source: DonanimHaber
Interesting AMD, dat would be nice for ppl who dont know how to overclock, and I thought Phenom II supported 1600MHz Ram speeds????
WTF??? lol, i thought they was done with Phenom II, o well still a nice stock clock, id take one if some one gave me one lol Naaa Lionheart, only 1333, gotta overclock for those speeds.
"dat's" the motherboard @1600 and "dat's" the 790FX. The 890FX supports 1800-2XXX. At the chip its 1333 you oc to get there. You wouldn't buy a black without ocing its a waste of money. Yes "they was done" with it. there is more than one "team" working on things im sure this is one of there last projects b4 moving on.
Interesting... nice to know that the person I'm selling my mobo & CPU to after the Bulldozers come to light will still have plenty upgrade options. At least AMD doesn't just dump previous gen owners.
Well i suppose they have to use up the last remaining stocks of Phenom II's somehow...... Still a good , cheap CPU though, that will have more than enough grunt (for games) for the next couple of years. Infact, put one of these with a 560 or 6950, and you have a kick ass cheap gaming rig.....
this was imminent. SInce Bulldozer is launching in June 2nd week, AMD as customary have to refresh their line-up every quarter, starting this may is Q2 2011 So I guess a 3.4GHz Phenom II X6 is possible.
Maybe we will see one last phenom II at 3.8 Just to have beaten intel in mhz's and its almost 7 years since last intel set the record for x86 mhz cpu's mhz doesnt really matter, but just for the fun side of it
But still for the price...why bother when the other BE models can clock just as high. Course I'll reserve final judgment for when a review is done, but right now I'm doubting it would be worth the expense which likely has it in the X6 range. Might as well go X6 at that point.
I believe AMD needs to keep the chip within the TDP of 125W. Their cooling solution must be up to par and the mobo needs to have proper power delivery. I can't say for sure but it actually sounds like a pretty big achievement for AMD. You can argue that they are making new SKU's just to sell chips (and that would be a strong argument) but I'd like to take a more positive view and say that 3.5GHz was their limit for 125W TDP at one time (just for example). As the manufacturing process matured, they were able to hit 3.6GHz within 125W and again, further maturation has allowed them to squeeze 3.7GHz out of 125W. If that is in fact the case then Bulldozer should be a more mature chip than it would have been without those milestones from the Gen before it.
I think this is kickass! The average user doesn't overclock. So, giving them the option of buying a 3.7ghz cpu is great for everyone that likes amd.
If the 3.5GHz was their limit for 125W TDP, what is it for the 95W that is my max TDP on my mobo and I am at 3.5GHz stable. So I can see this new chip over 4.0GHz eazy, I will be holding off for bulldozer to be out to start the new build this fall and turn this one into a 24/7 folder for fun
Nah. It was the same back in the days with the Brisbane Athlons 6000+ . They had a pretty high base clock but you could barely OC them because they had reached the limits of the current process node. I doubt we will see any new Ph II's unless of course you don't count Llano as Phenom ;]
Those TDP ratings are what they are rated and guaranteed to work with is all. My mobo is 140w max but I could run 200w through it, it just isn't designed for it.
I agree I do not think that the TDP would limit it to only 3.5GHz. And yes most current mobo you can run a higher TDP than thay are rated at.
not surprised on this, i built a system the other day for a customer with the 1100T and was simply amazed at how easy it reached 4.0ghz with a simple artic freezer pro rev2.

For some people, buying audio gear can be an addiction. On the surface it sounds like a bad thing, and maybe it is if viewed from a financial perspective, but for anyone who loves music and electronics it's the beginning of a fun and never-ending chase for perfection.
Catching the audio bug can be fun, even if it does drain a wallet. One of the most fun things about getting into the consumers electronics hobby is the ability to buy a product that experts deem as "value-minded" and upgrading it with a readily-available accessory.
Years ago upgrade accessories fueled many successful companies that either manufactured or sold analog audio products such as tonearms, cartridges, styluses, tonearm cables, record cleaning kits, and cables once Monster invented that category.
The beauty of these accessory upgrades is they allow for incremental improvements as someone's budget allows. The other benefit is the fun of researching these products and the comparison of product "A" versus product "B" and so on.
Here are five upgrade accessories that range from the old-school world of analog vinyl, to new, tweaky items for the true do-it-yourselfer (DIY'er) electronics enthusiasts.

Microsoft bids adieu to CES
week in review As promised, Microsoft delivered its final opening keynote address at the Consumer Electronics Show--and had little to say.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer did a lot of shouting and talking, but didn't say anything too substantive in his final keynote address, opting instead to run through a number of its upcoming--but previously announced--projects, from Windows Phone to Windows 8. The company, however, did say it would bring the Xbox 360 peripheral Kinect to Windows on February 1, and Ballmer said the motion-sensor device has sold 18 million units, offering up just that little nugget.

Why People Pirate – Updated
This is an informative post as to why people pirate, or at least why some pirate. Yes, people pirate stuff, but they also buy stuff that could easily be pirated. Some of my friends ask me "Why would you buy that when you could just pirate it!?" using this face.
The people who ask this question are people who I consider leechers. These people, for the most part, don't pirate themselves, but rely on others to pirate for them. They also don't seed. -.- So, to answer the question as to why people pirate yet still buy things can be answered in several different cases.
Case 1: Testing Out a Product
Some products are expensive and once bought, can't be returned. This is the case for a lot of software because you are buying a virtual key and not a physical entity. Many programs offer a trial version which is nice and does not require me to pirate anything.
However, there are a lot of products that don't have a trial or free version. Therefore, people will pirate the software and test it out to see if it does what they need it to do. If they are satisfied with the software, and it is reasonably priced, they will then proceed to purchase said software. Although, if they don't feel the product is worth the penny, or if they only require the software for a one-time use thing, they will not buy the software because that would be a waste of money. Which transitions into the next case of the availability of money.
Read the other cases as to why people pirate

decent songs this week, will be picking up Kiss, still undecided on FNM.
decent songs this week, will be picking up Kiss, still undecided on FNM.
Excellent variety this week Harmonix. I'll have to check out some note charts, and confer with my online bandmates to see what we'll be getting, but I'm shooting for Roam and Calling Dr. Love.
Who's Next for 2/26 please.
I'm definately downloading Calling Dr. Love. I just have one question: Will there ever be any AC/DC DLC?
Not too interested in anything, except maybe Roam.
Guess I'll wait for the youtubes.
just going to go out on a limb here...
but the people who think this weeks DLC stinks (which i'm a child of the 80s early 90s, so not me) are probably the same people who about passed out from excitement after they announced less than stellar (if moreso probably not at all) All American Rejects songs...
now that was a week i wasn't excited about DLC, but to each their own i guess
you don't dig much from the 70s, 80s, and early 90s...i don't dig radio friendly pop punk...either way HMX is doing a spectacular job doing their best to appeal to everybody so it's applaudable effort. Buy what you like don't buy what you don't, seems pretty simple
LOL, ummmm ok. Faith No More were ONE hit wonders, why, who what would make you do another FNM song, when there are 999999999 better songs out there?? Calling Dr. Love is ok, but again MUCH better Kiss songs. Roam, no self respecting man is gonna download that. I can see me and my 3 friends rocking our to Roam......

i'd take the time to write down how i went about to install and configure PHP5, MySQL and phpMyAdmin
on the ReadyNAS Duo v2. (pun partially intended, although readynasxtras provide a whole set of other
packages as opt in the payed add-on...)
This assumes you've already got EnableRootAccess up and running.
1. Installing and configuring PHP5.
First off, we need to install the PHP5-package with apt-get. Log in to your NAS via SSH to get started.
As the security aware users we are (;-)) the root account is ofc disabled for login, so we'll have to
do these operations as sudoers instead. Type:
- Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-cgi
Some of the packages will probably be marked as installed or set to manually. This is natural so just
type Y and sit back while the packages is being installed.
After this we have to add the php5_module and trigger php-files to be handled by the php5-module.
- Code: Select all
sudo /etc/frontview/apache2/httpd.conf
Then find the lines loading modules, for ex. :
- Code: Select all
LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so
Append these lines to this section in the file:
- Code: Select all
LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so
AddHandler php5-script .php
Now find this line:
- Code: Select all
DirectoryIndex redirect.html index.html index.htm
and change it to:
- Code: Select all
DirectoryIndex redirect.html index.html index.htm index.php
Now we need to restart apache by typing:
- Code: Select all
sudo killall apache-ssl
sudo apache-ssl -f /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf
You should now be able to use PHP on your ReadyNAS!
I'm going to write an instruction for how to install and configure MySQL and phpMyAdmin as well in the
upcoming posts but since I have to leave now this will have to do for the time being.

rump recordings news
Rumpistol announces new album
Rumpistol announces his new album, "Away" - to be released on Rump Recordings in February 2014.
The first single from the album is called "Asleep" and opens the door to the subconscious mind – a place populated by African thumb pianos, ancient Nordic lullabies and tech beats in odd meters.
After his latest collaborations with Red Baron and John LaMonica, Rumpistol now returns with a sound that has a more clubby feel, while giving a nod to his earlier instrumental efforts.
Active for over a decade, Rumpistol's forthcoming album is the embodiment of his ability to produce highly elaborate and genre crossing electronic music that still maintains both sharp focus and a strong human touch.
There are 3 remixes of "Asleep" included on this release: the UK's Kelpe delivers an aquatic moog-fest of a remix, Danish newcomer Bwoy De Bhajan adds Amon Tobin-esque snares to his "dreamtech" version while Poland's Bueno Bros takes the track into tech-house territories.

Rump & Komponent launches "KILE"
When the legendary venue LAB shut it's doors for the last time back in 2008 the city of Copenhagen lost it's only dedicated venue for experimental electronic music.
Over a span of 6 years the organization behind LAB - "Komponent" - had been the first to introduce the Danish audience to "upcoming" acts like Apparat (DE), The Books (US), Dntel (US), Monolake (DE), The Gaslamp Killer (US) & VEX'D (UK) among many others.
Due to a growing frustration over the loss of this venue Rump has now joined forces with the people behind Komponent and a couple of other experienced promoters and music lovers in a new non-profit event organization called KILE (translated to English: "WEDGE").
KILE aims to promote artists that wouldn't normally come to Copenhagen and strives to create synergy between music and other art forms by introducing the audience to experimental artists from different spheres of the electronic music scene combined with workshops and artist talks.
KILE launches it's first event on the 7th of December at Prags Boulevard 43 with a night that focus on the forgotten ghosts of the past.
Dedicated to cratediggers around the world we've invited one of the most enthusiastic cratediggers out there: Andy Votel - the founder of Finders Keepers Records plus we have his Danish counterpart in the shape of Simon Dokkedal & Martin Højland of Den Sorte Skole fame.
The first KILE night is based on crowd funding and tickets can be found here.
There will only be 130 tickets sold so don't wait too long!
KILE 01: Cratediggers Rowenta
Andy Votel [UK, Finders Keepers Records] – dj-set
Jane Weaver [UK, Finders Keepers Records] – live
+ Simon Dokkedal & Martin Højland [DK, Den Sorte Skole] – dj-set
Date: 7th of December. 2013, Time: 21-02
Place: PB43, Prags Boulevard 43, Bygning 5.
Price: 100 DKK until the 29th of October, after that 130 DKK.

The Mistake Rib Baby Hat is a freebie from Ravelry. I found it while browsing for a pattern to use up this one lonely skein of discontinued Rowan RYC Cashcotton DK that I had bumming around the stash.
The color is #602, but that's about all I can tell you. I picked this skein up from the orphan bin a couple years ago because it was too pretty to leave behind.
The hat features a simple mistake rib brim that is a little more interesting than your traditional 1×1 or 2×2 ribbing, but doesn't have quite as much give. Then it flows into normal stockinette hat construction.
I chose to alter the hat slightly and gave it a traditional swirled decrease top as opposed to the ties that are on the original pattern. I also made the smallest size in this hat and it was too small for Izy, so it's somewhere around the newborn head range.
All project details and notes can be found here.

There are some noteworthy AGMs coming up in April and May, and that means opportunity for Stephen Mayne to shine a torch at executive salaries and boardroom behaviour.
In this opinion piece for Fairfax papers, Mayne predicts the excessive salaries being paid to key Lowy family executives will trigger shareholder revolt at the Westfield AGM. Protest votes are also expected to increase due to the heavy weighting of the board in favour of either people called Lowy or their buddies.
Mayne also questions the eligibility of AMP board candidates, and speculates that Sir Rod Eddington will be re-elected to the Rio board only due to Chinalco s voting power.

Former employees, as well as Port Saint Lucie officials should demand a Federal Securities fraud investigation adainst Digital, John Textor, McNicholas and Associates as well as any politician that received campaign contributions from Textor.
If Textor really cared about his employees, especially those that relocated from out of state only to discover that they had no job, he would use some of that 16 million dollars to help them survive. But then again, he would need to have a conscience first.

Customer Reviews for Gray / Black Living Room Levolor Window Blinds
"love love!!"
By customer
We have two sliders in our open living room and purchased two panel tracks and absolutely love them!! My husband doesn't get into the whole decorating thing but he made a comment on how nice they look! I will be purchasing another for our basement living room!
View this product"Looks Great!"
By Yonkers Native from Yonkers, NY
We wanted to update our first-floor windows and change the look from the tired Roman shades. The Levolor Premium wood blinds really did the trick; it gave our rooms a warmer appeal and allowed us to control the amount of daylight we wanted. They are classy and traditional!

.A complete, high-performance channel strip.
With more and more studios foregoing consoles in favor of recording and mixing in the computer, a clean and versatile front-end input stage is indispensible. There are dozens and dozens of channel strips and similar devices to choose from, but none that come close to the Channel by way of sound, features or performance.
The legendary Model 230 has been re-imagined, adding a host of new features to address a greater number of workflows while retaining the sound, functionality and versatility that made it one of the most in-demand processors ever for professional audio, live sound, broadcast and post production.
The Channel incorporates seven powerful devices within a compact, single rack space design, including five of Aphex's exclusive patented technologies. Together, the result is the highest possible audio quality, processing power and flexibility available.
The elegant front panel not only looks great, but is laid out in an intuitive, easy-to-use workflow with easy to understand labeling. Building on the foundation of the Model 230, the Channel features an instrument input, dedicated output and gain reduction metering, front panel sample rate and clock source selection, and a reference quality internal clock.
The Aphex Channel is a Tube Microphone Preamp and signal processor that is an indispensable broadcast station tool. You'll find them in the production room and installed as a permanent on-air processing for pumping up voices.
Recording Studios
The Aphex Channel is a powerful and easy-to-use channel strip for commercial and project studios, featuring our reflected-plate amplifier tube microphone preamp design plus compression, gating, de-esser, parametric EQ, Aural Exciter, and Big Bottom bass enhancement. It is an extraordinary single rack unit that offers 7 of Aphex's most popular tools that help you work more easily and naturally, achieving the sonic quality you want without connecting several devices.
Live Sound
When space is at a premium in a touring rig, and night after night reliability is essential, the rugged Aphex Channel provides all the top quality processing needed for any instrument without taking up precious rack space.
A one rack space unit that does it all!

I just finished watching The Garden of Sinners yesterday... While I really like it, i'm not really sure it has to start/end that way. I feel there's a more simple way to resolve everything. The most flawed character is probably Kokutou. He seems unreal as a character for a movie this serious, and he's not a relate-able character. He's perfect for Shiki, but that's his flaw. The story would fall apart if Kokutou were not what he is, but because he's not a believable character, it makes everything else less believable. Everything focuses around Shiki, so I guess the other characters were built around her to fit in. Story: 7.9/10 Characters: 9/10 (would be 10 if it is not for Kokutou) All Type-Moon related works feel like a big tease.
When I watched Kara no Kyoukai I didn't bother to assess Kokutou at all, I just "saw the story through his eyes". It doesn't seem too outlandish, other than his obsession with Shiki.
I guess his purity at the age of 20 is not believable for me. http://www.mangafox.com/manga/anne_freaks/v001/c001/1.html The short manga above has something in common. It's not the best, but i think the main "boy" character's course of action is more believable.
Unicorn Gundam OVA 4 was pretty good,apologies if i am late to join conversation. The starting theme tune used was brilliant and the whole development of Banagher was impressive. Although the ending spiced things up a little even though its been seen in the manga.
I see you don't belong to the "I read the novels and they f**king changed the story! This is bullshit!" club. Personally I haven't watched EP4 or read the novels yet, but that is what my flatmates said.
Quoting them "if they changed a bit its fine, but they changed a lot without changing the outcome, why can't they just stick with the story instead? "
Same thing happened with the Break Blade movies. Didn't reduce it's awesomeness however, like in this case with Gundam Unicorn.
Time constrain is the problem, Gundam Unicorn is suppose to end at Ep6 which is not enough to include all the emotional drama and stuff in the novel. There is simply too much to cover in an anime. Life is full of compromises I guess. Edit: Let me explain further. Gundam Unicorn is to bridge the gap between the events after Char's Counter Attack and the later F91 event and such. By the time of Gundam F90 and F91 Anaheim Electronics have fallen out of power in favor of the S.N.R.I. and further by the time of V Gundam the Earth Federation have collapsed. The first is event triggered by what happens in Unicorn and the contents of the Box of La+. The eventual collapse of the Earth Federation are cause by the same problems faced by the Colonialist in Unicorn, which the E.F. basically treats them like third class citizen or worst.
just thought i'd point out Lovefilm (Also known as Amazon since a few weeks ago) has close to 1000 Anime shows and movies now for the UK users who want to rent stuff http://www.lovefilm.com/browse/film/anime/
I'm not sure if i understand that right. I know Zero is the prequel, Sakura's past What i just realized after typing this is that I feel Fate/Zero is a tease for the Heaven's Feel route... and a sequel for FSN is unlikely... I'm not sure if I like or hate Type-Moon .
They might make Heaven's Feel route to a feature length film like UBW, but as of now I don't really care much about speculation. Until they announce whether they are making HF I shall enjoy F/Z and Carnival Phantasm (Episode 8 about Saber is really good).
i have some very bad news --> http://www.imdb.com/news/ni18234374/ look at the cast they're thinking of using in the akira remake
OMFG C3 ep 8, i stand speechless and impressed by the sheer quality and impressiveness of this great episode... Fear just put a hell of an impressive show that even Mio from Higurashi would just coward in fear, seriously, that girls can go from moe to Insane fearless killing machine in a heartbeat... And i was impressed by how great some "illustrated" animation looked in the second part, brilliant!! Bento also had a cool beach episode, good service... And Fate zero was quite impressive this week too...

My soul doth magnify the Lord and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden. For behold from hencefoth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me and holy is his Name. And his mercy is on them that fear him throughout all generations. He hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their harts. He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble and meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things and the rich he hath sent empty away. He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel as he promised to our forefathers Abraham and his seed forever. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Go to text page >

The point about the Lea Valley Authority is this: Londoners are currently committeed to a £625m contribution to LVP however the passover of Olympic responsibilty to the LVA means there is now real potential for the LVA to increase this levy to meet the massive Olympic overspends. Londoners will be paying for the pleasure of the games for many years to come.
Good to read that Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham are beginning to question the viability of the arrangement.
A HISTORIC town hall tax that funds a nature reserve many residents have never visited is being called into question. Councils across the capital are funding the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority (LVRPA) in north and east London, Essex and Hertfordshire to the tune of almost £12million a year.
Now authorities in Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark, which this year paid £867,000 in a levy to the LVRPA, are questioning the
payments at a time when their funding is being cut by the Government.
The payment scheme was set up to fund improvements to the 10,000-acre nature reserve, which was established under an Act of Parliament in 1966.
Today, the park authority owns 20 per cent of the Olympic Park in Stratford, and has received multimillion-pound payments from the Olympic Delivery Authority. The park will play host to the Olympic white water centre.
After the Games, the LVRPA will also run hockey and tennis centres and the cycling Velodrome in Stratford. Lambeth council needed to save £37m last year and a further £29m this year following Government cuts.
The savings target has led to council job losses and spending on street cleaning and public parks reduced.
Yet in the past three financial years, it has paid £946,000 to the LVRPA.
Town hall leader Councillor Steve Reed, told the South London Press: "It seems highly questionable that Lambeth's money is being used to pay for a park the other side of London that most South Londoners have never heard of.
Posted 06 May 2012 - 10:37 PM
Little wonder the budget's gone nuclear but what's the logic behind positioning of Ground Based Air Defence Systems in densely populated areas? A successful strike will result in the target being brought down over residential areas in the vicinity of Blackheath Common and Oxleas Wood in south east London, and at William Girling Reservoir Chain in Enfield and Barn Hill at Netherhouse Farm in Epping Forest.
Once an enemy target is identified missiles are "guided towards the target at speed in excess of Mach 2.5 by passive infrared line of sight and active command to radar line of sight. The automatic reaction time is less than 5s and a second target engagement takes less than 3s." Mach 2 is twice the speed of sound so mach 2.5 is pdq! The collison with any incoming target will be significant - like wise the fallout from the hit.

MoD unveils surface-to-air cockneys...

MoD unveils surface-to-air cockneys...
I'm all in favour of using Cockneys as missiles, mainly because I wasn't born within the sound of Bow bells, in fact miles and miles from there.
However, I am a great believer that leaders should lead their own in to battle (a bit like Blair should have gone in to Iraq (and not come back)) so hopefully the first wave will consist of Pearly Kings and Queens - all those buttons make for a lot of shrapnel! This is all before Phillip Hammond makes a U turn and opts to use the cheaper SAS - the dreaded Surface to Air Scousers.

Local missiles for local people Senor? Yours and Sir Ruff- Diamond's Olympic Defence Systems make the Cuban missile crisis look like a virtual Tea Party.
Never mind the Cockneys and Scousers I'm more concerned about the Mujahideen. If I was a bearded gentleman of a certain disposition then I'd have already sourced meself a lauchpad, somewhere high up, somewhere with a great view of London and somewhere with excellent telecommunications signals, from where I could disguise me hardware as a landfill recovery vehcile (LRV) and then just like a Thunderbird I'd park up and launch me attack with one of these:

Back to missiles and Olympics - beginning to feel that after 40 years, since Munich '72 it's all beginning to make me feel is it all worth it? Since then everyone has been 'aware' of a threat, but I guess 9/11 made the Western superpowers targets, particularly US and UK. Now the setting up of 'defensive' missile banks and those potential tubes manned by bearded (bit of profiling there) blokes implies a pitched battle in the offing.
Goes without saying, we don't want an incident, but 40 yrs on and with the unresolved issues of the world being taken to the Games and will continue to be until they make a real impact.
How long before we hear the IOC chief announcing, ….. opening envelope… - "the Games are awarded to....... "the city of - Tel Aviv"
I'm all in favour of wrapping them up, the Games that is, and it's not giving in to the terrorists, it's a big big very expensive bore, and the athletes and the drugs cheats debate is just beginning to wind up.... Apart from that - come on GB!

Grab a Button!
Product 47/243
Malia wants him to be innocent but senses he's holding something back. She vows not to let her long-time attraction to the hard-bodied writer influence the way she handles the case. But is that even possible when his every glance sets her on fire?
The real, living, breathing woman was no less moving. He noted the graceful bend of her elbow. He'd bet no other police detective had ever looked so elegant. Hell, neither had any prima ballerina. He studied her face again. Did he see her eyelashes flutter? He watched her for several seconds, looking for further movement. Nothing. Poor kid. Who wouldn't konk out after what she'd been through?
He ached to kiss her forehead…her eyelids…the shadowed hollow of her neck…and… His arousal throbbed. He was getting into dangerous ground. Damon forced himself to turn away before he did something stupid. He locked the snack tray he carried in the no-slide slot and quietly prepared his daybed.
After a trip to the head to freshen up, he returned to the main cabin to find Malia softly sobbing into the pillow. He sat on the edge of the bed and gathered up her trembling body into his arms. Her hair smelled faintly of shampoo and smoke. He wished he could return things to the way they were before Kiki's murder. He couldn't tell Malia everything would be all right. It wouldn't, but maybe if the police caught the killer she could begin the process of healing. He whispered, "We'll get through this, Honey."
Her cries subsided. She wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his chest. He kissed the back of her hair. She looked up at him, her eyes all liquid and sad.
Ignoring the danger signals going off in his brain, he lifted her chin and gently lowered his lips to hers. The salty taste of tears sent a pang to his heart. He groaned and pulled her tightly against him. Malia opened her mouth to him as though seeking a physical remedy for her pain. Sorrow and anger were the forces behind her urgency, and he tried to convince himself that after losing a fellow officer and her home, she needed the release, deserved it.
He desperately fought to hang onto his sanity long enough to consider the ramifications of making love to this enticing and attractive woman her in her present state of mind, but her moan triggered something in him. Jagged lust and immeasurable longing raged through him. His erection shot to a full salute and throbbed in readiness.
Then the words Malia had thrown in his face the last time they were caught up in a similar carnal situation hit him. "Whatever this heat is between us, she'd said, "I can't handle it right now. And maybe I'll never be able to. And I think I don't want to."
Dear God, as much as stopping would tear the guts out of him, he couldn't take advantage of her grief. Tomorrow she'd hate him, hate herself.

Bought this to take on my babymoon and I love it. Wouldn't have gotten it if it wasn't on sale as I don't love spending a ton on maternity clothes, but hoping I can wear it after too. I was pleasantly surprised with the fabric as I thought it would be more like spandex, but it's more of a stretchy, comfortable jersey. Really comfortable and fitted without being super tight. I'm 5'3 and 18 weeks pregnant at 130 lbs. I have a small bust and the neckline isn't tight on me at all like others have mentioned. Love my bump in this dress! |

Love this dress very much. I can wear it for any occassion and can dress it up and down and my bump grows with it. I also have bought the Eva knit cardigan and it is so nice to wear it with that cardigan. Also I think I can wear this dress as well after the baby is born. |

Officials at the University of Michigan issued a campus-wide emergency alert following an attempted robbery of a cab driver near university-owned buildings east of Ann Arbor.
Spokeswoman Diane Brown says the text message alert went out to students, staff and faculty Thursday morning after officials received reports of shots fired.
The alert was cancelled shortly afterward when two men were arrested.
The Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office said the cab driver picked up a man and a woman at Plymouth and Dixboro, but then got into a disagreement with the man. The man pulled out a gun and fired a shot through the cab's windshield before struggling with the cab driver and taking off. No one was hurt and the couple was arrested a short time later near Gabriel Richard Catholic High School campus.
Investigators said they still have not recovered the gun used in the incident and are asking if anyone finds it to call 911.
A number of colleges and universities are sending out emergency warnings via text messages and emails, primarily in response to recent shooting incidents on and near campuses.

In the eyes of the people who for one reason or another who wish to, or are receiving any form of government social welfare benefits and services the Republicans, even as the Democrat lite party, will never have a kinder face then the liberal Democrats.As the entire political mantra of the liberal Democrats is to hand out "candy" in return for votes. If you go to any liberal Democrat political rally and meet one of their candidates, invariably he or she will ask "What can I do for you"? Meaning what sort of government funding or program can I set you up with.

Organizing a group of volunteers for three decades rises to a much greater level of commitment.
Julian Newman of Talladega has headed up the annual work trips for the Carpenters for Christ since 1982, finding the project, organizing the preliminary work, ordering shirts, arranging shelter and meals — and taking part in the construction, too.
Most of the work has been putting up church buildings, with volunteers getting the buildings near completion in a 10-day period. They've been on jobs all over the south and up into the Midwest, providing free labor to help others.
Newman didn't start the group — it originated in Anniston — but he got involved in a big way and helped see the volunteers through to successful construction jobs year after year.
"It's really life-changing, the men I've met and the miracles we've seen," he said.
This year was different in a couple of ways. It was their first time to work in Talladega, the first time they've taken on two projects at once, and it's apparently the last time Newman will be organizing things.
He says it's time to pass the torch to someone else for that part of the job, but he's not quitting. As long as he's able, he plans to be there to help get the job done.
It'll be time to reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, and see more miracles take place. Oh, and they'll put up a new building, too.
It takes real dedication to make a difference like that, and special people.
Our hats are off to Julian Newman for a job well-done.

BaByliss PRO TT (Carrera 2) Tourmaline 3000 Dryer
AnonymousNice Hair Dryer!I thought it was a good purchase. It is a little heavier than my previous dryers, but my hair is less frizzy and looks shinier than before. When I first opened it from the package, I heard some jingling in the dryer and a little piece fell out. I guess it wasnt important because it has been working fine.posted Sep 8, 2006Link to this post
NadineSeymour, CTI Love It.This is great!! Its light weight and easy to manipulate. The cold button actually is cold!!!posted Sep 7, 2006Link to this post
SarahLove This Dryer!Im very pleased with my new BaByliss dryer. The buttons do switch pretty easily, but it is just as easy to flick them back where you want them. The dryer is very comfortable to hold and looks nice too!posted Sep 3, 2006Link to this post
PaolaMontclair, NJAmazingI use this blow dryer all of the time. It dries my hair in less than 30 minutes when it used to take 90 minutes. The heat settings really are HOT but you would never feel it when you touch the barrel. Oh and the red color is stuning, it feels velvetie and smooth....Like no other Blow Dryer I have ever seen!!!!posted Aug 26, 2006Link to this post
SeemaSeattle, WashingtonI Love The Babyliss Pro Carrera 2 Dryer!!!I was really pleased with this hair dryer. I have wavy hair, and with with this dryer and the right brush, I am able to get such a perfect blowout that there is no need to whip out the flat iron. This dryer also dries my hair quickly. My old dryer fried my hair and I could never get a smooth/sleek blow out. But this hairdryer does the trick and saves me time with both the amount of time it takes to dry my hair and by eliminating the need for further styling from a flat iron or a curling iron. It is a bit large, but it is great and definately worth the money.posted Aug 15, 2006Link to this post
JoanArkansasBuy This OneI wish I had purchased this dryer before I had my hair cut off. Its marvelous. The only bad thing I have to say is the buttons are in a bad location and Im constantly switching settings or turning it off. Im currently practicing holding it differently to overcome this.posted Aug 15, 2006Link to this post
HwSacramento, CAGreat DryerThis is my first pro dryer, and I am really liking it so far. My hair feels much softer and healthier after only a few of weeks of using it. I read in other reviews that it is very heavy. I suppose at first it was noticibly heavier than my last dryer, a hot tools ion, but I got used to it. My hair is fine, layered, and not super long, so it doesnt take very long to dry, anyway, but I do think it dries a little faster with this one. And, it doesnt get so hot that it fries my hair. If Im drying for a while and it starts to get hot, I just switch it to warm. I also read that the buttons are in an inconvenient location. On occasion the settings have switched accidentally, but its not a big deal, I just switch them back. In my opinion, this one is well worth the price. I cant imagine that a more expensive dryer would be much better.posted Aug 15, 2006Link to this post
AnonymousBabyliss HairdryerI have naturally curly hair; it does straighten my hair well, but by the end of the day, I find that my hair is oily, and this was not the case prior to using this hairdryer. If I would have know this, I wouldnt have bought the dryer.posted Aug 13, 2006Link to this post
KitFrederick, MDMeet My Expectations!This model hair dryer does what it promises, my hair dries faster and seems more healthy. The only complaint I have is that it is a bit heavy and the buttons are in an odd position on the front of the dryer where you hold it. I find myself accidentally turning it off in the middle of drying my hair due to the position of the buttons.posted Aug 5, 2006Link to this post

Tune In Next Week, He Says: The Racialicious Roundtable For True Blood 5.11
Joe: Because with religion, anything and everything is possible. The problem is, for a lot of folks, they take that fact and they run with it. Cue Bill.
Carly: I like that they have tied in this large part of religious history–people using drugs to become closer to God and often going way off the deep end. Doesn't hurt that it makes for interesting visuals.
Joe: It makes you wonder why he's so religious now, all of a sudden. He was a Christian in his human life, and I remember the episode where he goes to Gran's church, but then there was no mention or hint of it, unless I'm forgetting something. Not even a "this might be why he's gone all Jim Jones" flashback. Maybe it's the power that comes with this particular religion? That, and the only rule seems to be to eat people.
Tami: Bill is really being a dick. I really need there to be some consequences for characters' actions this season. Bill has done some heinous stuff. I hope they show the fall-out from that next season. For instance, showing the fractures in his relationship with Jessica. They cannot have him go back to being noble Bill Compton after this. (Ditto for murderous Terry Bellefleur.)
Carly: As much as I would love for all the people on this show to be held accountable for their actions, I will be shocked if that happens. Not that TV characters can hold onto their 'history' for very long, but how quick did they all forget about the panthers and Jason's endless rape?
Joe: Especially since that happened like four days ago in their world.
Random Aside #1
Tami: Members of the Authority security force are comically easy to kill. I mean really.
Joe: Seriously. They're all vampires, too. Don't they receive some type of training? Like, I know that even if a suspect is incapacitated, you remove all firearms from his or her person. They need more Law and Order in their lives.
Latoya: This fae elder is doing her best Alanis-Morisette-as-God-in-Dogma.
Carly: Yeah! And this ageless, ancient fairy sounds like… a real housewife? American? I mean, make up an accent like Fez for all I care, but give me something here. Take some cues from Russell.
Tami: When you tell me I'm going to meet a fae elder, I expect someone with more gravitas than Coco Hernandez from "Fame." I imagined someone like Newt from the Kim Harrison Hollows series–someone whose impairment was more menacing than annoying.
Latoya: OMG Yes! And while we're at it, Sook needs an Al, like yesterday.
Tami: Also, what does Sookie have against my fellow Hoosier John Cougar Mellencamp? The man is a treasure–Bruce Springsteen of the Heartland.
Latoya: "The reason you slut your heart out to every guy with fangs?" Again, the extra digs from the writers are so not necessary. Sookie is the woman you made her. The fae queen said "I got this?" And you knew that was her death knell. Seriously, all them fucking faeries can't kill Russell?
Joe: There's like 30 of them. They have money, I assume. Can't they buy silver bullets and silver plated arrows like everyone else? Or at least hire a sharpshooter as a bodyguard. They may have age, but they seriously lack wisdom.
Tami: Fairies. Not the rocket scientists of the supe world.
Latoya: Maybe that explains Sookie's lack of common sense for all these seasons.
Carly: Why did they all just stand there!! Augh! Side note: I cannot get over how much I love Denis O'Hare's readings. They have written that character so well, it makes so much of the show pale in comparison. It'll be a sad day when he's written off.
Joe: Hopefully, for all those coward faeries, that's next week. I mean, if an ageless faerie isn't threatening (like seriously, at all) then what hope do any of them have? You would expect her to at least maim Steve a little. I think the lesson here is that faerie powers suck.
Carly: Yeah, the chest waxing and the skin tight skinny jeans do not read rough Were. He may need a few lessons from Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation.
Tami: But not a terribly smart grown-ass man. What's he going to do against Russell with that shotgun?
Latoya: I thought the bullets were loaded for vamp. He dispatched the Authority buffoons fairly neatly.
Joe: Yeah, but he could see them clearly. A 3,000 year old vampire on this show could mow the lawn, snap his neck, and do taxes in the time it would take Jason to lift and shoot that thing.
Carly: Couldn't he have just waited inside and not invited them in? Ah well. I love some Jason being manly. He's just too adorable.
Latoya: I could see that. But alternatively, I could also see an abuse dynamic where you start loving your abuser because they are all you have.
Carly: Haven't they already set the precedent that regardless of sexuality, vampires more often than not have sexual relationships with their relatives, especially with their makers? They didn't get into that with Eric and Godric, but it may be a safe assumption. But like was noted last week, we'll cut out or take a wide shot of men kissing, but get within inches of women kissing.
Joe: Well, now that they've mentioned it, we will be seeing a Pam and Tara love scene.
Tami: On second thought, all vampires are becoming comically easy to kill. First, Sookie does one in with chopsticks. Baby vamp Jessica and dim bulb Jason take out trained vampire security. Alcide and his daddy go on a shooting spree, killing vamps without using their own super-powers. And Bill, who isn't even 200 years old, murks an Authority council member with one swipe.
Carly: Yeah, it's a bit ridiculous. It seems like everyone except for Russell is easy to kill.
Latoya: Man, I really wish this season had gone differently. This part about Bill possibly eating Sam is actually a great plot twist. I would have been on the edge of my seat a couple seasons back.
Carly: I think they've been neglecting Salome, so I'll keeping my fingers crossed for an epic meltdown when she drinks all that blood. I don't know how else they'd write her off. And of course, Eric will have to save Bill, because it's Bill. *sigh*
Random Aside #2
Carly: It took me until the end this episode to realize his dad is Terminator 2. Now I won't be able to stop thinking about him and that gooey metal icicle…
Carly: I was noting that a big theme this season seems to be vulnerability to violence–mental and physical. We had all those Iraqis murdered, fairies murdered, weres under Russell's (V's) thumb, the hate group attacking supes, the countless humans devoured by the authority this season…even as Tami noted the vampires are now being slaughtered, via "Lilith The Mad God," baby vamp bloodlust or sheer stupidity. I'm not sure what the message is here, but they are really digging in on it.
That last scene with the fairies drove me nuts. I assumed that Jason never intended to fight Russell and Steve; he was just there as bait to get the 2 of them over to the field where (I thought) the fairies had some sort of ambush prepared. Couldn't the elder have just banished Russell FROM INSIDE FAIRY WORLD WHERE HE COULDN'T SEE HER? Why did she assume a 3,000-year old fae-hungry vamp would just stand around while she chanted a spell to banish him?
This whole Pam/Tara thing is moving a bit too fast. It hasn't been long since Pam was grabbing Tara by the neck and slamming her into the wall. Also, in addition to all the racism, Pam did try to kill Tara multiple times last season. It's a little weird that hasn't been mentioned at all.
Centuries-old vampires are getting staked and beheaded left and right, yet baby vamp Steve Newlin continues to exist. Russell isn't around to protect him all the time, why hasn't this slimeball met the True Death yet?
I still don't care about Alcide, his abs, or his angst.
Plus Authority member Rosalyn (the southern redhead) seems to have ditched the Republican wife hair for something a bit punchier. I guess widespread chaos brought on by a vampire coup does have a good side.
I feel like the elder role was written to be so ridiculous as to be insulting. And then in the end we've got yet another POC laying down her life to protect Sookie's preciousness. Sigh. Whatever.
Also, being fae is starting to seem like the most loser-y of the supes. Their little light shooting abilities push people away but don't seem to hurt them, they smell really good to the group to which they're the most vulnerable, and they're not terribly smart.
And I do wonder how they're going to redeem Bill, because you know they will.
Not to mention they suck at protecting people. Remember Sookie's comment to her Fairy Godmother?
Also, both the Fairy elder and Kibwe as well as an Asian-looking baby vamp were killed during this episode. 3 POCs in one episode. I guess the writers were bored. -
I'll try to fill you in on some history. In the past seasons Lafayette was kidnapped and kept chained up in a basement in Fangtasia's by none other than Eric. Additionally Pam wanted to kill Tara last season. She threatened her and her girlfriend at the time. She's made racist remarks all season not just to Tara but also regarding an Asian woman from her previous profession. She's has seriously manhandled Tara and has shown her very little kindness and respect up until the past two to three episodes. All vampires have mostly been especially menacing to Tara and Lafayette. Last season Tara was raped and kidnapped by Franklin, a crazed vampire who wanted to turn her against her will. Bill knew where Tara was and did nothing to help her escape. Tara had to escape on her own, looking like a runaway slave, and even managed to save Sookie at the same time. So the fact that she was turned into a vampire, against her will even as an almost dead person, in spite of her traumatic experiences with a bunch of vampires is a big friggin deal. And with the season finale episode you add Jason's unwarranted dismal and hatred of her and it's just a big ole WTF.
