For the drop-D fanatic plus.
The DiMarzio DP207 is a high-output bridge humbucker designed for the extended low end and heavy chords that dropped tuning delivers, plus serious treble response for single-note solos and standard tuning. The D Sonic guitar pickup isn't just a one-sound guitar pickup, either. In addition to the standard series humbucking sound, the patented design utilizes 4-conductor wiring to access 2 different single-coil sounds plus parallel humbucking mode, for 3 additional sounds that are distinctive and versatile. Recommended for solidbody guitars, bridge position.
Those of you familiar with DiMarzio history will note the visual resemblance to the old MegaDrive, but the design is completely different. Installation direction makes a noticeable difference in the sound, particularly with overdriven amps. With the solid bar toward the bridge, the sound is a little brighter and better-defined, and this is the direction DiMarzio recommends for heavy strings and low tunings. With the adjustable polepieces toward the bridge, the sound is warmer and a touch louder and this works best for standard tuning and more solo-oriented playing. Each coil has a unique tonal character, so the 2 split sounds are different, and parallel humbucking produces a third, clean and bright sound.

American Federation of Astrologers
75th Anniversary Conference
The Art of Prediction: Traditional to Modern
May 2-4, 2013
Embassy Suites, Tempe Arizona
Featured Speakers:
James H. Holden, FAFA
Demetra George, Ben Dykes
Bill Meridian, Shelley Ackerman
Deb Houlding
Pre-Conference Workshops
Chart Calculation: presented by Christine Arens, LPTMAFA, Wednesday, May 1, and Thursday, May 2.
Dueling Planetary Arc Directions: presented by Stephanie Clement, LPMAFA, Thursday, May 2.
Art of Predictive Astrology Conference
After centuries of meticulous observation, ancient astrologer-astronomers gradually produced accurate models of heavenly motions. Astrology became the Queen of the Sciences, as its beautiful and orderly patterns allowed the prediction of indicated events far in advance. As Western astrology developed, many timing methods were used to move the chart of an individual through time or to study historical change against the background of long-term planetary cycles.
Celebrate the AFAs 75th anniversary with an array of internationally acclaimed experts who will explain and demonstrate a variety of predictive techniques in natal, mundane, and electional charts. Each day will showcase a group panel with audience participation, to discuss the thorny philosophical and ethical issues surrounding meaningful prediction, humane counseling, and the range of personal choice. Bill Meridian (Vienna) and Deb Houlding (England) will make rare American appearances, joining Shelley Ackerman, Ben Dykes, and Demetra George, to create a diverse and dynamic faculty exploring the art of prediction.

Star-Spangled Banner Back on Display
After a decade's conservation, the flag that inspired the National Anthem returns to its place of honor on the National Mall
- By Robert M. Poole
- Smithsonian magazine, November 2008, Subscribe
Long before it flew to the moon, waved over the White House or was folded into tight triangles at Arlington National Cemetery; before it sparked fiery Congressional debates, reached the North Pole or the summit of Mount Everest; before it became a lapel fixture, testified to the Marines' possession of Iwo Jima, or fluttered over front porches, firetrucks and construction cranes; before it inspired a national anthem or recruiting posters for two world wars, the American ensign was just a flag.
"There was nothing special about it," says Scott S. Sheads, historian at Baltimore's Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine, speaking of a time when a new nation was struggling for survival and groping toward a collective identity. That all changed in 1813, when one enormous flag, pieced together on the floor of a Baltimore brewery, was first hoisted over the federal garrison at Fort McHenry. In time the banner would take on larger meaning, set on a path to glory by a young lawyer named Francis Scott Key, passing into one family's private possession and emerging as a public treasure.
Succeeding generations loved and honored the Stars and Stripes, but this flag in particular provided a unique connection to the national narrative. Once it was moved to the Smithsonian Institution in 1907, it remained on almost continuous display. After almost 200 years of service, the flag had slowly deteriorated almost to the point of no return. Removed from exhibit in 1998 for a conservation project that cost about $7 million, the Star-Spangled Banner, as it had become known, returns to center stage this month with the reopening of the renovated National Museum of American History on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Its long journey from obscurity began on a blazing July day in 1813, when Mary Pickersgill, a hardworking widow known as one of the best flag makers in Baltimore, received a rush order from Maj. George Armistead. Newly installed as commander of Fort McHenry, the 33-year-old officer wanted an enormous banner, 30 by 42 feet, to be flown over the federal garrison guarding the entrance to Baltimore's waterfront.
There was some urgency to Armistead's request. The United States had declared war in June 1812 to settle its disputed northern and western borders and stop the British from impressing American seamen; the British, annoyed by American privateering against their merchant ships, readily took up the challenge. As the summer of 1813 unfolded, the enemies were trading blows across the Canadian border. Then British war vessels appeared in the Chesapeake Bay, menacing shipping, destroying local batteries and burning buildings up and down the estuary. As Baltimore prepared for war, Armistead ordered his big new flag—one the British would be able to see from miles away. It would signal that the fort was occupied and prepared to defend the harbor.
Pickersgill got right to work. With her daughter Caroline and others, she wrestled more than 300 yards of English worsted wool bunting to the floor of Claggett's brewery, the only space in her East Baltimore neighborhood large enough to accommodate the project, and started measuring, snipping and fitting.
To make the flag's stripes, she overlapped and stitched eight strips of red wool and alternated them with seven strips of undyed white wool. While the bunting was manufactured in 18-inch widths, the stripes in her design were each two feet wide, so she had to splice in an extra six inches all the way across. She did it so smoothly that the completed product would look like a finished whole—and not like the massive patchwork it was. A rectangle of deep blue, about 16 by 21 feet, formed the flag's canton, or upper left quarter. Sitting on the brewery floor, she stitched a scattering of five-pointed stars into the canton. Each one, fashioned from white cotton, was almost two feet across. Then she turned the flag over and snipped out blue material from the backs of the stars, tightly binding the edges; this made the stars visible from either side.
"My mother worked many nights until 12 o'clock to complete it in the given time," Caroline Pickersgill Purdy recalled years later. By mid-August, the work was done—a supersize version of the Stars and Stripes. Unlike the 13-star ensign first authorized by Congress on June 14, 1777, this one had 15 stars to go with the 15 stripes, acknowledging the Union's latest additions, Vermont and Kentucky.
Mary Pickersgill delivered the finished flag on August 19, 1813, along with a junior version. The smaller flag, 17 by 25 feet, was to be flown in inclement weather, saving wear and tear on the more expensive one, not to mention the men who hoisted the unwieldy monster up the flagpole.
The government paid $405.90 for the big flag, $168.54 for the storm version (roughly $5,500 and $2,300, respectively, in today's currency). For a widow who had to make her own way, Pickersgill lived well, eventually buying a brick house on East Pratt Street, supporting her mother and daughter there and furnishing the place with luxuries such as floor coverings of painted sailcloth.
"Baltimore was a very good place to have a flag business," says Jean Ehmann, a guide who shows visitors around the Pickersgill house, now a National Historic Landmark known as the Star-Spangled Banner Flag House. "Ships were coming and going from around the world. All of them needed flags—company flags, signal flags, country flags."
There is no record of when Armistead's men first raised their new colors over Fort McHenry, but they likely did so as soon as Pickersgill delivered them: a sizable British flotilla had just appeared on Baltimore's doorstep, sailing into the mouth of the Patapsco River on August 8. The city braced itself, but after the enemies eyed each other for several days, the British weighed anchor and melted into the haze. They had surveyed the region's sketchy defenses and concluded that Washington, Baltimore and environs would be ripe for attack when springtime opened a new season of war in 1814.
That season looked like a disaster in the making for the Americans. When summer arrived in Canada, so did 14,000 British combatants ready to invade the United States across Lake Champlain. On the Chesapeake, 50 British warships under Vice Adm. Sir Alexander Cochrane headed for Washington, where, in August 1814, the invaders burned the presidential mansion, the Capitol and other public buildings. The British then headed for Baltimore, in part to punish the city's privateers, who had captured or burned 500 British ships since hostilities erupted two years before.
After maneuvering their ships into position and testing the range of their guns, the British opened the main assault on Baltimore on September 13. Five bomb ships led the way, lobbing 190-pound shells into Fort McHenry and unleashing rockets with exploding warheads. The fort answered—but with little effect. "We immediately opened Our Batteries and Kept up a brisk fire from Our Guns and Mortars," Major Armistead reported, "but unfortunately our Shot and Shells all fell considerably Short." The British kept up a thunderous barrage throughout the 13th and into the predawn hours of the 14th.
During the 25-hour battle, says historian Sheads, the British unleashed about 133 tons of shells, raining bombs and rockets on the fort at the rate of one projectile per minute. The thunder they produced shook Baltimore to its foundations and was heard as far away as Philadelphia. Hugging walls and taking the hits wore on the defenders. "We were like pigeons tied by the legs to be shot at," recalled Judge Joseph H. Nicholson, an artillery commander within the fort. Capt. Frederick Evans looked up to see a shell the size of a flour barrel screaming toward him. It failed to explode. Evans noticed handwritten on its side: "A present from the King of England."
Despite the din and the occasional hits, the Americans sustained few casualties—four out of a thousand were killed, 24 wounded—as the fort's aggressive gunnery kept the British at arm's length.
After a furious thunderstorm broke over Baltimore about 2 p.m. on September 13, the storm flag was likely hoisted in place of its larger sibling, although official descriptions of the battle mention neither. After all, says Sheads, it was "just an ordinary garrison flag."

I found what appears to be very very old copy of the Star
Spangled Banner. It was behind a picture frame that I bought from a very old estate in Winter Haven Florida...
It is crumbling and very fragile....Very dark....May be a lithograph copy...Many of them were printed ....but how old is it and why was it hidden behind a picture frame that owned by a Navy Admiral that was a friend of Francis Scott Key's....
Posted by Phil Millner on July 24,2009 | 06:42 PM
In the late 1990's i aquired, I blieve a lithograph 1907, and a certificate from the Francis Scott Key Association.
I have alway tried to find info on them. Today, I found a one of the certificates on-line for sale, $199.95
Both, art and certificate (1908) I gave to my son when he returned from Iraq (2006). He is currently in Germany and the items are in storage; therefore I may no tbe able to get more info until he returns home July. They have the same persons name of membership on both pieces. do you have any info on the portrait.
Thank you

The 2 flags for Ft. McHenry were ordered in 1813. Why did the flag maker use the 15 stars and stripes version? TN had come into the Union in 1796. OH was admitted in 1803 and LA in 1812. If Congress had authorized the 15 stars and stripes flag, surely it did so prior to 1796. Did Congress not act again on the flag until after the War of 1812? So why does the Star Spangled Banner have 15 stars and stripes?

I'm in... but if we do once a week than we have the whole week following to watch & review it right?

Good idea Naru, each week a different person should pick the episode.
So what episode are we watching? What's the format we're doing this in?
for what it's worth, I think a coordinated screening time would be pretty cool
just logistically bad.
I liked the idea of a different person going each week. what if we start with hammster's suggestion, and then just move from there, either in order of joining the thread or by lottery, rotating like that?
"Look, Marge, you don't know what it's like. I'm the one out there every day putting his ass on the line. And i'm not out of order! You're out of order. The whole freaking system is out of order. You want the truth? You want the truth?! You can't handle the truth! Because when you reach over and put your hand into a pile of goo, that was your best friend's face, you'll know what to do! Forget it, Marge. It's Chinatown!" - Homer's rant.
I like the hat idea.
can we just get a poll?
2014 - the new england invasion
I think this first round we should choose what hammster says, and then, depending on how many people are in, make a diagram with the turns of each one, which could be in alphabetical order or so.
Season 21 ratings (A.K.A. Qwert's Generic Sig Vol. II)
Homer The Whopper 7/10 Bart Gets A 'Z' 8.5/10 The Great Wife Hope 9/10 Treehouse Of Horror XX 9.17/10
The Devil Wears Nada 9.5/10 Pranks And Greens 6.5/10 Rednecks And Broomsticks 7.5/10 Oh Brother, Where Bart Thou? 8.5/10
Thursdays With Abie 5.5/10 Once Upon A Time In Springfield 10/10 Million Dollar Maybe 4.5/10 Boy Meets Curl 6/10
The Color Yellow 9/10 Postcards From The Wedge 9.5/10
this is actually a pretty neat idea
once there's somekind of order and polls or something, then i'll definately be up for this
Whichever way the people are selected, it'd probably make the most sense to make sure everyone has had a go at it before starting back over again.
To view various lists about my Simpsons opinions, click the link below.
Awesome idea, any excuse to watch a good episode.
Count me in as well. Also, "Bart Sells His Soul" sounds like a good episode to start with.
start from hammster then move through different posters in the thread. now we have to settle which day..
Seriously I really like Saturday as a starting day.
We're all mostly, I'm assuming, nerds with no life, so our afternoons should be pretty free of obligations. We have the time off but enough time remaining in the weekend to ensure that if there's something that needs to get done by Monday, there's time to get it done.
And if people can't make Saturday then they don't - it's not like this thread will only be open on Saturday. The time can be made up for at any other point in the week, but by the time it's the next Saturday, it's time for the next episode.
The only other day I can honestly see working is Friday, since most of us tend to have school Monday-Thursday and on Sundays we'll be more focused on the new episode to really do this. (I'm well aware it's possible to talk about two episodes on the same day but why clutter it up when it's not necessary to do so?)
True, our minds can't really handle the capacity of chatter about two separate episodes, sometimes one is too much.
sorted. any problems with saturday?
I think it would be good to go by alphabetical order, so if everyone else does aswell, here is the order we would pick episodes in:
(hammster can go first because he started the thread)
Colonel Hap Hapablab
Fear of Flying
Green Man
Guy Haines
Joe Miller
Leo Pard
Mr. Trampopoline
Richard Nixon's Head
Squeaky Voiced Teen
the chilliman
the real melvin
The Sovereign
You Only Move Twice
I'm pretty excited for this. So next saturday do we start?
Yeah, saturday, why not?
"Bart Sells his Soul", hammster's initial choice: great episode to start all of this.
So it's a go?
so what would happen? we'd all watch bart sells his soul, come on here and maybe write a review? or perhaps just a quick paragraph everyone can expand on and so on? and from then on certain aspects could pop up e.g. story, animation, jokes, characters etc.
hey i'd like to be in as well if it's not too much trouble.
can't watch anything till the weekend but it should all work out.
So if I'm first I stick with my original choice but what day. Friday or Saturday seem the best to me.
That'll work. So, Bart Sells His Soul is is then?
You can do anything if you put your mind to it.
Everything happens for a reason.
Just be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.
Don't worry about the world ending today. It's already tomorrow in Australia.

Self Titled
Pyramids' self-titled effort is described in several different places as "bliss-metal," which means nothing to me. I'd describe it as shoegaze-y ambient post-metal, but whatever, to each his/her own, I suppose. If nothing else, "bliss metal" is more succinct.
From the opener "Sleds," the band establishes a breezy, atmospheric, swirling mix of guitars, synths and distant vocals, like Radiohead mixed with Jesu. Second track "Igloo" introduces martial drumming, almost black-metal, filtered and compressed into a spacey mechanized pounding beneath the layered vocals and the ever present guitars that swell and collapse back into themselves. Everything is drenched in delay and/or warm fuzzy tones.
The remainder of the record expands upon the premises laid out by those two tracks. Pyramids alternates between tracks closer to the beautiful or to the mechanical—exemplary of the former is "The Echo Of Something Lovely," which mines a spaciness akin to early kosmische muzik heavyweights like Popol Vuh. An example of the latter is "End Resolve," which marries the eerie fuzziness of My Bloody Valentine to a bleak industrialized ethic. "This House Is Like Any Other World" introduces some beautiful classical melodies over the stop-start punch of the drumming and is arguably the finest moment on a record filled with a plethora of interchangeably fine moments.
It's hard to really describe this one too much—it just sort of is what it is, and the combination of shoegaze and industrialized post-metal will either carry you off to some distant land or bore you to tears after two songs. I will say that I was somewhat split: at times, I found that Pyramids had a tendency to slide into the background. But when approached properly, I found it to be an intriguing listen. It was brilliant when I was in the right mood, which was to say, at times when I wanted a great record that I didn't always have to focus upon directly. Not to second-guess or backpedal, but that last sentence is not to say that Pyramids is a passive listening experience—it's somewhat insidious, really. It creeps into your brain like a film score, underpinning whatever you're doing at that moment and ascribing some cinematic quality to your daily routine. For what it is, which is ultimately mood music, it's very well done, but sadly, by its very nature, it's not for a closed-minded "dude, let's just RAWK!" listener. The adventurous and the fans of exceptional free-form post-metal will find much merit within, and the rest will incorrectly think that anyone could do this.

Cloud steadily rises in popularity and familiarity with both tech nuts and the general public, thanks to an increase in advertising and more widely distributed education on just how useful it proves for a variety of sectors: major conglomerates, small businesses, enterprising individuals, and casual genre devotees. Yet despite the uptick in cloud's presence, the cloud community has yet to agree in consensus on its best denotation. Dictionary.com provides a serviceable and fairly clear explanation

"HARDCORE... a black scenic hole…filled with flashing electroshock-dance, hard pulsating techno and a kind of 3D sound-effects that with low-frequency rumbling vibrations scares the wax in the ears out through their ear ducts... Grind is a strange and brutal experience for eye, ear and body. The intellect is wiped out and matter is set in motion." - Anna Ångström
©Ivo Hofsten
Imagine a place that defies your senses. Imagine rhythms that affect your vision. Imagine a room where the dimensions of the space appear resilient. Imagine the pressure of sound transforming a body into vibrations. Imagine light that makes you perceive darkness. GRIND offers this place - where the components of body, light and sound create binds that affect, confuse and move.
GRIND is a collaboration between choreographer and dancer Jefta van Dinther, lighting designer Minna Tiikkainen and sound designer David Kiers. Inspired by synesthesia, the performance seeks to challenge our grip on reality by suspending our senses and short-circuiting perception. Minimizing in order to maximize, GRIND forges simple elements into a full-on affective machine. Through duration and repetition the components of body, light and sound turn around and around, mixing until they start to seem foreign. With pulsating, cutting, flickering lights and the unrelenting beats of dark, loopy techno, it is a choreography of matter that GRIND generates.

"Close on the heels of the Gujarat forest department and the Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) transplanting fragments of locally-extinct coral species in the coastal waters of Gujarat, the Gujarat Ecological Education and Research Foundation (GEER) too has begun an experiment on the same lines.
GEER foundation had conducted the first phase of the experiment a few days ahead of the WTI initiative. In the GEER foundation initiative, fragments of local coral species from Poshitra were transplanted in Narara in Jamnagar. "Around 250 fragments of locally available coral species were transplanted in seven frames in Narara," said an official associated with the project.
The official said that the experiment was being carried out to see which coral species responded to what conditions. A second phase of transplantation will also happen, where the corals will be transplanted at coasts other than Narara."

Moreover, the almond butter adds some protein, and the raw cocoa powder adds a hit of antioxidants and satisfies your chocolate craving without any guilt.

Chronicles of Life with Multiple Sclerosis
Too fatigued to work a full week is what I said. Do you have MS? I'd be sad about you being a dickwad but you obviously know nothing about me or MY MS other than what you see on my blog.
A lot had changed since I wrote that and some gutless anonymous prick is not going to make me feel any more bad about the fact that I can't do the career I liked and studied and payed for anymore.
I don't see how it effects you in the slightest either. Do you get money if I get a "real job"? Would your dick get hard (alternatively, 'get a wetty') if you thought I actually got all upset over what you posted.
Perhaps YOU should do something PRODUCTIVE and POSITIVE with the little time you have left after working all those hours at your REAL JOB, hey?
ok wait. Did someone actually write this to you? JESUS. Fuck them do what you need to do and define yourself how you want to define yourself. MS sucks the life out of us in a way that none of the people that would write something like that can even dream of. ugh. sorry. got annoyed on your behalf and on my own since I've been internalizing some well meaning comments by my doctor that don't come CLOSE to this bullshit but in my head sorta feel that way. heh.
Damn some people need to get a life.

OT - Anyone watch Hatfields & McCoys on History Channel?
Cal Ripken's pal Kevin Costner did a great job with his new show for the
History Chann. As usual it was mostly accurate although not entirely so
but it gives us a great look into history on one of the greatest family feuds in
American history that cost the lives of 15 people over decades of feuding that started over land dispute, a stolen pig and a Romeo and Juliet romance
amongst the warring familes.
These families really put the meaning into the word "Hillbilly." Both are
mean and arrogant. McCoy was actually religious but vindictive. He lost the most when the Hatfields raided his home killing his wife, daughter and remaining sons.
Three other sons were killed by the Hatfields after they killed one of their clan. The stolen pig part was funny as there was a jury trial with 12 members of the jury - 6 from each family. However, one of the MCCoys worked for Hatfield in his lumber business and was the deciding vote in his favor. Talk about vindictiveness, McCoy got him too
later killing him.
Hatfield usually got the best of McCoy but lost most of his gang when 9 members including his son got prison terms for life and 1 was hanged who killed McCoy's daughter but he was autistic. After that the feud ended as both men moved to different areas.
McCoy lived a near destitute life. Hatfield had land and money but had to sell most of
the land to pay for the trial of his son and gang members. It went all the way to the
Supreme Court because bounty hunters went into West Virginia. The guv of West
Virginia called up the national guard and almost invaded Kentucky.
You can't feel sorry for any of them.
A few years ago the descendents got together on the TV game show
Family Feud as the Hatfields won. They had a family re-union attended
by thousands of descendants called the family reunion of the millennium.
The History Channel is playing it every night if you missed it.Last edited by AirFlacco; 05-31-2012 at 09:20 AM.

Re: OT - Anyone watch Hatfields & McCoys on History Channel?
I watched it, it was pretty good. I thought the first episode was the best.
My only complaints: 1) I felt like they rushed into the feud and didn't build up the hate that led to it. 2) Also felt like they made it seem like the McCoy's were the victims in this.
At the end of the day though it was a good mini-series.
Re: OT - Anyone watch Hatfields & McCoys on History Channel?
Exactly right. The movie rushed into it and didn't explain the real origins, just the pig
account and the kids getting married. It definitely made you feel sorry for the McCoys. Like I posted, Hatfield usually got the best of him as his family was wiped out but he
was a mean mutha ficker. Hatfield and McCoy were in the lumber business
but the McCoys weren't too smart and failed and lived near destitution. Hatfield was and was business savvy and aggressive. Each had 13 kids-lol.
They were actually pals during the Civil War actually saving each other's lives til
Hatfield deserted. Bill Paxton, the actor who played McCoy didn't think that part was
correct because the land dispute was before the war. The actors and costumes were
so great I didn't even know Tom Berenger was in the movie. He played Jim Vance who
killed the Hatfield who fought for the Yankees. I had to look real hard to see who
Costner was. I've seen all these guys films although I'm not too familiar with Paxton
who out-performed them all.
Also, the town wasn't even there at that time. It didn't come til the late 1880s or 1890s
when the rail road and mines came. Before there were no roads, just paths paved out
by the indians centuries before.
The industrial revolution finally caught up with
Kentucky and West Va. As mentioned Hatfield had to sell his land to pay for
his family's legal expenses. The atty who re-started the feud fell in with the rail road
and GOPs who didn't like the southerners. He got some of that land. It also had oil
and coal that was just coming into play. Hatfield had a lot on his land that he sold
and didn't even know anything about oil.
Those socials in the movie were held in open fields. There was no saloon for the fights but people drank, argued and killed each other. These were really low life people and Kostnerdid a great job of bringing it out.
Then Jim Vance of the Hatfields killed a McCoy who fought for the North and returned
home. That was brought out.
Hatfield also gyped the atty out of 5,000 acreas of land. He got even as he gained
wealth in Kentucky and got the guv to send bounty hunters across the state line or
river to capture the Hatiflelds.
Hatfield planned the raid on McCoy's house but was sick and couldn't go. He demanded
that no one get hurt but old Uncle Wall was so mean he killed the women and kids
inside. McCoy got out the back and got away. Cottontop Mounts, the autistic boy
was hanged for killing McCoy's daughter but the Hatfields tried to say he really didn't
know what he was doing to be hanged.
The families are supposed to be pals now but not everyone. I mentioned Vance above
who helped start the feud killing the Yankee veteran. The cemetry where all of the
McCoys are buried that were killed in the raid is owned by a Vance today. He owns
all the land around it and won't let anyone see the cemetry.
The McCoys tried to open it to the public and sued but failed. One person is still
holding a grudge.Last edited by AirFlacco; 05-31-2012 at 11:00 AM.

My RSR Blog:
Re: OT - Anyone watch Hatfields & McCoys on History Channel?
He's not the greatest actor but made some historic films. Bull Durham was the best
baseball movie ever made about a minor league team in Duke country and a groupie
who bangs them all-lol.
He met Cal on that set when he hired him as an advisor for it and another baseballl
movie he made about an old pitcher who throws a perfect game before retiring.
He's a great golf fan making Tin Cup which was very boring.
Dances with Wolves is another historic film. That was the first film that had you
rooting for the indians to kill all the soldiers. Costner usually gets his facts straight
but not so in that one because the tribe he portrayed was one of the most ruthless
tribes on the plains. Even the Sioux respected them. They weren't as peaceful
as Costner made them out.
Wyatt Earp was perhaps the best movie made about Earp and one of the greatest
westerns ever. He got his facts straight on that won. After the gun fight at the OK
Corrall scene, he turns and says it only took 12 seconds. The old Burt Lancaster
movie made it look like all day.
That movie inspired me to visit Tombstone when I went to a Ravens game in
Arizona. Everyone travels up to the Grand Canyon and I went to Tombstone-lol
where they have a re-enactment. Met a cute girl from Maryland in a store there
and bought some stuff. I was into line dancing back then and she told me to go
the saloon that the Earps owned and is still in use today. She met me there for
a good steak. I go all the way out west and score with a girl from Baltimore-lol.
I applied for a job at Ft Huachuka-sp out there and didn't get it. Glad I didnt.
Nothing but desert out there. Nearest beach is 9 hours west in San Diego.
I gotta be near the ocean.
This was another great one. Chilling, just chilling how he steals his friend's wife]
and what Anthony Quinn does to the wife. Great ending.
This was one of the best espionage movies ever. He plays a mole, a US Naval officer
for the KGB reaching high into the gov't. Another great ending.
Costner said he got into acting actually sitting next to Richard Burton on a plane when
he was in college and Burton really encouraged him to get into acting. His first role
was a corpse in the movie The Big Chill. All you see are his dead feet.
This is also a landmark film with William Hurt, Glenn Close and Jeff Goldbloom. Tom Berenger was in that one too so they go way back. The sound track has all the great Mowtown hits of the 60s and 70s like I HEARD IT ON THE GRAPEVINE and I SECOND THAT EMOTION.

I will admit I watched Episode 1 twice
Was struggling a bit to keep up and see who was who. Character overload

An excellent production overall

3:10 to Yuma was an enjoyable film
Christian Bale, Russell Crowe, Ben Foster
Great story
And loved the soundtrack, it's up on youtube
Re: OT - Anyone watch Hatfields & McCoys on History Channel?
Yea, that was a great flick except for the ending. Roger Ebert said a long time ago that
the Hollywood formula for a good action film was the good guy vs the bad guy and the good guy always wins and never dies.
Now it's the opposite in many if not most films and in The Departed, everyone dies.
You leave the theater with a bad taste in your mouth.
BTW, my brother's nephew is a writer for one of the CSI series. He graduated from college 4 years ago majoring in film making. He wants to be a producer, so he goes to Hollywood and moves into a house with 4 other wannabes 2 blocks from the beach.
He lands a job as an errand boy for one of the CSI series. All he did was run errands
for the producer's staff. Then last year the producer made him an assistant editor and
this year he wrote his first show. He wrote the entire script and made a cameo appearance.
The family went nuts when they saw him on TV. He's on his way to really big money.
He won a contest in college producing a movie. He had his own budget and everything.
After he won the college sent him to a film writing school and paid for it.
Now he's on his way to big bucks writing for CSI. His name is Gregory Widemann.
Remember it, he will be big one day.Pic of a natural act: Old man yelling at
the clouds with gorgeous chick with big
Being a descendant from the McCoy family (my great grandmother was the middle daughter of the remaining 3 towards the end of the movie), my grandmother and dad used to tell me these stories and showed me pictures and such. It's not so much that the McCoys were victims, but they had the deck stacked against them. The Hatfields has no problem killing people whereas Randolph McCoy did his best to have the Hatfields arrested and tried. Even after they killed his three sons.
Impressively the mini-series was more accurate than most movies. Obviously some embellishment here and there. But mostly true story.

Brianna Commerford felt a lump. After a few months of feeling mildly ill, she was diagnosed with stage IV Hodgkin's lymphoma. She was devastated, she was scared, and she was only 9 years old.
Five years later, Brianna is still alive thanks to an experimental treatment she received from the Children's Oncology Group. Devoted to curing childhood and adolescent cancer, the COG is a clinical trials group that is primarily supported by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), the largest sponsor of biomedical research in the world.
This month scientists nationwide are petitioning to protect lifesaving research programs like this one before January, when the federal government will automatically slash—or "sequester"—8.2 percent ($2.5 billion) of the NIH budget for 2013 unless Congress stops the move. The money will be withheld because of provisions in the Budget Control Act of 2011 that aimed to cut spending. Combined with the scheduled finale of the Bush-era tax cuts, the provisions are expected to push the country over the now proverbial fiscal cliff.
Separate from the scheduled downsizing of Medicare (2 percent or $14 billion), the NIH cuts threaten to corrode the foundations of biomedical education and research in the U.S. Agencies including the National Science Foundation, NASA and the Department of Defense would also be saddled with lighter coffers. The prospect of deep cuts is particularly alarming to biomedical researchers because the cutbacks would come at a time of already strained budgets.
From 1999 to 2003 the federal allocation for the NIH doubled, which triggered a tremendous boom in the biomedical workforce, according to a 2008 report from an NIH advisory committee. In the years following, though, federal support has failed to keep pace with this expansion in labor; rising inflation and three cuts to the NIH budget in the last seven years have meant that budgeted funds largely go to maintaining the status quo rather than to fresh initiatives.
With fewer awards available, this shortfall has incited fierce competition for federal grants, and consequently the success rate for winning an NIH grant is now at its lowest level in American history. The global financial meltdown of 2008 strained matters further when several private foundations were forced to shut down.
"The sequester could affect both existing and future grants," says Christy Gullion, an advocate for the University of Washington, which would potentially lose $83 million next year. She has been lobbying in Washington, D.C., since the summer of 2011, when lawmakers resolved the debt-ceiling crisis by passing the Budget Control Act. "We are in uncharted territory if the sequester takes effect."
Far from the nation's capital in the birch forests of Maine, many aspiring biologists opt to spend their free hours in the laboratory of Richmond Thompson, a neuroscientist at Bowdoin College. His studies on how different chemicals in the brain—such as vasopressin, vasotocin and testosterone—affect social behavior offer the perfect research opportunity for intrepid minds.
Thompson's mentorship program receives part of its support from the NSF through its Broader Impacts initiative, which emphasizes undergraduate education and provides monies for students to perform research during the summer.
"At small schools like Bowdoin, we use undergraduates to do a lot of our research," says Thompson. "If the money starts to disappear, not only does our research start to slow down, but it also means far fewer experiences for undergraduates."
Another scientist fearing the aftermath of the sequestration is Puneet Opal, a neurologist at Northwestern University who has published an editorial opposing the cuts in The Atlantic. He studies spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1), a genetic brain disorder that strikes in adulthood, causing the progressive loss of balance and of muscle control in the face.

How long will it take to build my web site?
Depending on what the requirements of your website are, construction can take anywhere from as little as a few days to several weeks. Sometimes, websites can be rolled out in phases to maximize their availability, but often they are launched as completed packages. An estimate of time will always be given when a new proposal is made, so you will always be kept aware of the development progress.
How much will my web site cost?

. Typically, this step is completed first before your website is constructed in order to maximize your website's availability.
Since your email depends on having a domain name that will resolve, the same 24-72 hours is also required to have your email account(s) fully functional. During this period, we can set up your new email accounts on our servers as well as on your local computers so they are ready to use once the domain resolution is complete.

Many of the students at Holley-Navarre Middle School have read all or some of the 15 books on the Sunshine State Young Reader list. After doing so they voted for their favorite one and chose "The Great Wide Sea," whose author came to speak to the students last week.
M. H. Herlong, New Orleans resident, is the author of "The Great Wide Sea," a book about loss and how to cope with it. The story follows a family with three boys who lose their mother. The father decides to cope by selling everything and setting sail with his boys to the Bahamas. From there the story escalates, with the author enticing you with these four lines:
"Once upon a time three boys were lost at sea. One almost drowned. One almost went crazy. One fell off a cliff."

I'm thinking the link only works for U.S. users (Canadian user here), as I'm getting a "this offer not available in your region" message when I try to purchase the song using the link.
I can't wait for this, they are one of my favorite bands. I can't wait for the others, hopefully we get more than three. I need some more MSP too.
HMX, I love you. You introduced me to my favorite band, The Beatles. And now you're making a game for my first favorite, Green Day. Thank you so much
