Turpentine Forests.
Their Rapid Destruction Threatens the Ruin of a Great Industry.
From the New York Commercial.
The first organization of turpentine men, known as the Turpentine Operators and Factors' Association, which recently held its first annual convention in Jacksonville, Fla., was confronted by the question of complete annihilation of their business, due to the ruthless tapping of young trees and the rapid depletion of the pine forests. Ten years ago Norfolk, Va., was the great naval stores port of the United States, five years ago Charleston was the center of the industry, two years ago Savannah, and now Jacksonville, and next Tampa and then — what? Prof. Herty, of the United States Department of Forestry, has been called upon and was present at the convention.
Newspapers in the South have presented able articles on this same subject for years, but the writer has seen young trees no thicker in diameter than eight inches boxed; once, twice, yes three times, so that a step ladder was used for the top boxing and the strip of bark left was insufficient to gather the sap to feed the tree. The life of a turpentine tree after the first boxing is about two years. That means that after the sap has been taken the third time the tree must either be cut for timber or it dies. A trip through the pine forests of Georgia and Florida will demonstrate the reckless manner in which the boxing has been done, and, worse still, where clearings have been made, no effort has been made to check the growth of scrub oak and saw palmetto which effectually choke the young pine rearing its head where its parent stood. Gradually the operators have been driven south, and to-day it is estimated that at least one hundred camps are located in Florida alone, and about fifty camps in Georgia.
Nine hundred operators were at the convention. Each man has either bought or covered with options more or less pine forest, and in spite of his knowledge of what the future will bring is rapidly killing the goose with the golden egg. The end is near in the turpentine and rosin industry. A few more years will see a tremendous rise in these commodities, and no effort has yet been made to restore the depleted forests of Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, North Caroline, or Northwestern Florida. The "fat pine" is indigenous to these States, it grows rapidly, but is easily exterminated by the more sturdy plants which spring up in the forest clearings.
Here comes lunch!
Just how many hundreds of thousands of barrels of rosin and turpentine could possibly be needed? And for what purpose, painting?
[Used in the manufacture of soap, paper, paint and varnish. More on the "naval stores" industry, and the origin of the term. - Dave]
The bridges over the rail trench are noticeably lacking proper railings. 1 safety demerit!
Bring the buck-buck-bucket here!
I remember that song so well, I could hear it in my mind when I saw this detail.
Never thought abut how rail cars wereloaded by hand before. The sunken rails, two men on a barrel, wooden rails to roll them on, all fascinating!
1950s model barrel loader was more mechanized than this.
for those guys. It looks hot after maybe some recent rain, the barrels sure look heavy and there's a few hours left yet. Looks like there's refreshments being bought over by the youngster on the right.
Thanks for the info Thad, I never knew about turpentine's origin such as shown above.
There appears to be a lovely young lady bringing some lucky gentleman his lunch bucket, and much prestige from his comrades.
The gum naval stores industry as practiced before WWII is now mostly forgotten, but was once a Really Big Deal in the longleaf pine belt that stretched from North Carolina to the Gulf coast of Texas. Sadly, most of the longleaf pines are gone now, and several species dependent on the pine forests-- for instance, the ivory-billed woodpecker-- are gone for good.
Those barrels would have been made and filled with turpentine and rosin distilled in small batches at camps located way out in the piney woods, by men working under absolutely medieval conditions. The ones working to pay the company store were lucky compared to the ones who were convicts leased from local law enforcement.
I've seen most of the more widely available turpentining images, but this is a new one on me-- thanks for running it, Dave.

The Cunning Little Vixen
This is perhaps the only opera to be inspired by a newspaper cartoon strip. Every morning, Janáček would catch up with the latest exploits of the mischievous vixen Bystrouška. He became such a dedicated follower of her adventres that he responded with an outpouring of music, rich in both humour and humanity, which evokes the wooded rolling hills of the composer's homeland of Moravia.
Janáček's vision immeasurably deepens the comic strip's depiction of rural life. The Vixen encounters humans, of whom she learns to be extremely wary. She ignores the well-meant advice of a mournful dog and does exactly what you might expect when she is confronted by a bunch of hysterical chickens. She cheekily evicts a badger from his home and settles in herself. Eventually, she falls in love with a handsome fox and marries him.
All around her the life of the forest continues on its inevitable cycle. And the Gamekeeper, growing wiser as he grows older, sees it all.
Lucy Crowe will make her role debut as the Vixen, with Emma Bell in the role of the Fox. Leading the forces of the London Philharmonic Orchestra will be Music Director Vladimir Jurowski and, returning to Glyndebourne for the first time since her haunting production of Dvořák's Rusalka, will be director Melly Still.

The Cunning Little Vixen
Leoš Janáček
We want to share our work with as many people as possible. Broadcasts have been part of the Glyndebourne story since the 1930s, and in 2007 we were the first opera house in the UK to screen performances into cinemas.
As well as The Cunning Little Vixen, two other productions are being screened in cinemas.
Act 1
On a summer's afternoon in the forest, Blue Dragonflies dance around the Badger's sett. The Forester, made sleepy by the heat and his search for poachers, has a doze. Insects and small animals are at play. The young Vixen scares the Frog, who jumps onto the Forester's nose. Waking, he grabs the Vixen and decides to take her home to amuse the children.
In the courtyard of the Forester's lodge, his Dog sidles up to the Vixen with amorous intent, but he gets short shrift. Two boys torment her, so she bites them. The Forester is forced to tie her up. She falls asleep and dreams of herself as a young girl. At dawn, the Cock starts lording it over his hens. The Vixen urges them to free themselves of his domination. To lead them on, she plays dead. As they come to inspect her, she grabs the Cock and the hens and despatches them all. As the Forester tries to intervene she pushes him over and escapes.
Act 2
In the forest, the Vixen upbraids the Badger for occupying such a large sett alone. Wanting the sett for herself, she urinates on him and he stumps off, insulted. The Vixen claims her den.
At the village inn the Forester, Parson and Schoolmaster are chewing the fat. The Forester teases the Schoolmaster about an old girlfriend Terynka; he fires back about the Forester's failure to subdue the Vixen. Goaded further, the Schoolmaster goes home, soon followed by the others.
Walking tipsily through the nocturnal forest, the Schoolmaster mistakes the Vixen hiding behind a large sunflower for his beloved, Terynka. The Parson muses on the girl who betrayed him long ago. The Forester in pursuit of the Vixen, fires at her and the others run away.
Moonlight in the forest. The Vixen encounters a handsome Fox and is smitten; he is equally impressed. He woos her with a dead rabbit. They declare their love. They disappear into her den to consummate their union. When they come out, they decide to get married. The forest creatures celebrate their wedding.
Act 3
In the forest the Forester confronts the poacher Harašta, who boasts that he is going to marry Terynka. The Forester decides to set a trap for the Vixen. Both leave.
The little foxes come out to play. Their mother discovers the trap and decides to taunt whoever is responsible. Seeing Harašta she lies in his path. He puts his basket of chickens down, picks up his gun and gives chase but falls flat on his face. The foxes raid his basket. Nursing a broken nose, Harašta fires aimlessly and kills the Vixen.
Back at the inn, the Forester tells the Schoolmaster he has found the Vixen's den deserted. The latter learns that Terynka is getting married that day, wearing a new muff made from fox-skin. They talk about the Parson, who has left for a new village where he's lonely. The Forester pays his bill and sets off for home.
In the forest he remembers his ardent youth. Feeling tired, he admires the natural beauty around him and lies down to sleep. He dreams of the forest animals, and looks around for the Vixen.
Stretching out his hand towards her, he finds he has picked up the Frog. But it isn't the same frog, says the amphibian -- that was his grandfather, who used to talk about the Forester. The Forester lets his gun fall.

We all loved The Cunning Little Vixen. Visually, it was imaginative, always interesting and surprising - the shape of the stage was very clever. We have followed Melly Still's productions and they are exciting and extraordinary. Music and cast were first-rate. Well done!!
(An extract taken from a comment unable to be fully published due to the length - Glyndebourne)
...We saw the production yesterday (Sunday 26 May), a blissfully hot, clear and windless day in which the whole world was looking good – not just the gardens at Glyndeboune. Because of this we went home last night, with our guest, feeling it had been a pleasant experience overall, but we were all disappointed with the opera.
We all found the first Act muddled and over-produced. It distracted us from the course of the story and whilst obviously intended to create lots of atmosphere, ended with us feeling confused and even a little frustrated. We enjoyed the second Act much more – by then the production seemed to have moved from trying to attract our attention, to one where the story was told and we were glad of that.
We shall continue to enjoy coming to Glyndebourne in the confidence that not everything we see will be as expected, and hoping that the 'wow' factor continues to eclipse the occasional disappointment as it has always done in the past.
I found the production quite enchanting , music dancing, singing production. It lifted me to another world which is what theatre should do. The dancers complemented the prodction . It was a lovely evening. Janacek must have been avante guarde in 1920's but we hav e all caught up with him at last. Thank you
After enjoying Melly Still's Rusalka so much, this was a must for us, and we were not disappointed. Don't agree at all that Sergei Leiferkus was not a great Forester - he dominated the stage when he needed to, and was a brilliant and menacing presence in the background. If we had not seen the opera before (including the first Glyndebourne production all that time ago) I think we might have found the story line confusing - sometimes the dancers seemed rather out of place. But a magical evening, enhanced by the weather, the garden looking wonderful, an altogether glorious visual feast, inside and out.
Our first visit to Glynebourne and we loved it all. Janacek was new to us and we were both riveted throughout. The combination of music, singing, dance and stunning scenery made it a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The snow scene in particular made an impact. We did agree with one reviewer who commented that the long interval broke up the action too much - with such a short opera a later start with a comfort break was really all that was required.
We so enjoyed your production of The Cunning Little Vixen on thursday evening, and have raved about it to everyone ever since.
What an unpleasant surprise to read Hugh Cannings nasty crit in the Sunday Times Culture section today.
Perhaps he got out of bed the wrong side or has problems, poor jaded soul, certainly from now on I shan't believe anything he writes.
We had not seen this Janacek before, but have previously enjoyed Jenufa and Katya Kabanova.
Please give our congratulations to Melly Still and Tom Pye. We loved the dancing and choreography, including the burrow and vertiginous hill, the tree was a wonder. I loved all the children while my husband particularly loved the chickens!
Sadly one can never please everyone all of the time, please know that your production gave untold joy to hundreds of people. I am recommending that all my friends snap up any returns for a wonderful evening's entertainment.
Well done and keep up the good work!
With many thanks
This opera was not to our taste at all, but we thought we should try something more mocern for a change. Having said that it was a wonderful production. Bring back more Mozart we say.
Having read the Guardian review I arrived wary, but soon found myself enchanted by the production. I do however agree with the comment above about visibility from the Upper Circle; it was indeed difficult to distinguish details upon which much of the effect depended. I had found the same with the Fairy Queen of three or four years ago; many of the comic effects and allusions mentioned in reviews was lost to the Upper Circle. Could critics be seated up there, please?
Finally, re critics: diametrically opposed descriptions of Jurowski's conducting style across different reviews provide yet one more reminder of how subjective reviews are. No need to have arrived so wary!
I have been coming to Glyndebourne every season since 1969 and have found something in every production I have seen which fills me with wonder at the excellence achieved. Sadly this time we were very disappointed. The production was hard to sit through and in the end was very irritating. We felt as though we had, by mistake, arrived on pantomime night but with the story obscured. Musically it was excellent as was the cast.
This week I was front centre upper circle so was able to observe the orchestra when appropriate. My enthusiasm for the whole thing is waxing not waning. I have to say Janacek's take off of a Moravian village band at the start of the pub scene is eye-wateringly funny in the hands of the LPO and Jurowski. I DO hope we are going to get a DVD of this.
A very enjoyable evening with great singing from Lucy Crowe and Emma Bell particularly. The production was pretty good though not ideal - the great moment when the Vixen, captured by the Forester, dreams of her freedom was spoiled by too much activity on stage, and the positive, life-enhancing ending could have been clearer. Nevertheless a fine event - which leaves me rather sad for the critic who wrote the unbalanced review I read today in the 'Sunday Times'.
I don't agree with the Guardian review. I do think the impact may have varied depending on what visual effects were visible, our view from the slips was excellent.
We found it a wonderful start to the season, we were gripped and transported.
It was a complex production. I attended because I so enjoyed the production I saw 37 [?] years ago which was easier to follow. All in all, well done.
Really fantastic,just one small quibble,I took my 2 young sons and found the sex between the cock and hen just too graphic with them watching,I have an email actively promoting childrens tickets for TCLV on specific dates and I wonder whether this scene should be reassessed in view of this
I think that the criticism in the Guardian on 22nd May by Andrew Clements was spot on.
Hadn't seen this Opera before. Loved the music and energy of the production. Sadly we were sitting in Upper Circle which made the set very dark from the distance. We couldn't make out the different animals or see the details of the costumes-except in the last Act with the lights brighter. Frustrating now to read what we missed out on visually. Sounds as though the Stalls and Circle seats got the full impact of the production. Beautifully sung though and well worth seeing
Best production that I have ever seen - and I've seen 4 now!
This was a life enhancing evening. The production was lively, perceptive and did a splendid job of portraying life cycles and human wisdom. Set this on a day when spring was finally springing in the Sussex countryside, add Janacek's unique and glorious musical vision and what more could you want to throw off economic gloom? Well done and thank you to all concerned.
Splendid, splendid...but isn't anyone going to comment on the musical side of the evening, apart from the odd remark and praise for the wonderful Vixen of Miss Crowe? What about the real and rare pleasure of hearing a soprano as Fox, and one so sweet-toned and characterful as Emma Bell? What about Sergei Leiferkus's deeply satisfying and still richly-toned baritone as the Forester? Casting in depth gave us William Dazely as Harasta, a role that -although short- needs a first-class voice and a fine actor. Then there was Mischa Shelomianski's excellent Badger/Priest, Jean Rigby, Sarah Pring, and let's not forget the lieder-like care with which Adrian Thompson delivered his (main) role as the Schoolteacher; very moving. Finally, think about Jurowski's big-boned, craggy yet subtle way with the music and the LPO's just fabulous playing of it. A great evening and I just loved the production but let's not lose focus on what really matters...which is the total experience of opera.
A superb opening to the 2012 Festival and a vintage Glyndebourne production, more than matching the previous Janacek cycle and showing that Glyndebourne remains an ideal Janacek house.
A bit of a mixed bag, I thought.
The idea of a kind of stream/helter skelter down the back of the set was surely taken from Keith Warner's "Rheingold" at Covent Garden and the connection of the singers to that stream by ropes was surely inspired by Robert Lepage's "Ring" in New York. Not terribly original, then, but it workd well and gave the necessary magical impression. Lucy Crowe and Emma Bell were outstanding both vocally and dramatically, but I was disappointed by Leiferkus's Forester. I well remember Thomas Allen's interpretation, which really demonstrated the character's conflicted relationship with the animals. Leiferkus left me wondering what he thought of animals and his relationship with Harasta was, to me, incomprehensible.
Orchestrally, the LPO and Jurowski were magnificent.
I found the production visually stunning. As in the previous comment, I am still not sure what a couple of the woodland creatures were, but the chickens were wonderful. The music was 'different' (I have not heard any Janacek before), and it was not to my husbands taste. I, however enjoyed it very much.
Wonderfully inventive production. A feast for the senses.
Beautiful singing.
Some great music, but not all of it quite up to par. Janacek might especially have reconsidered the last fifteen minutes ...
a feast for the eyes
Wow wonderfully start to the season. The music and sets created a magical tapestry - the costumes of the animals were so creative and just perfectly right summing up the likeness of each character in an imaginative and simple way. The centre stage tree is a masterpiece that captures the style of right now appearing to be made of recycled or is it up cycled wood. Beautifully to listen too and enchanting to watch. This really is a new masterpiece of entertainment although not a lot of convential singing the sounds were evocative and the music took centre stage as it should. I was told I would find this janacek difficult not true it was completely delicious. Grab a ticket if you can - although there's the cliched on stage sex regular visitors have come to expect, the rest of the production rises above this moment of grotesque to be an utter musical triumph. We loved it well done to each and every person involved visionary . X
Lucy Crowe shines out amongst the menagerie of cavorting animals in a stunning first night performance in rural Glyndebourne.Brilliant.
We thoroughly enjoyed TCLV... it is "different" and "a bit earthy" (not just the fox holes). Orchestra, singing and sets are all brilliant.
If it comes into a future year's schedule, we will want to see it again.
I rarely buy top price opera tickets but as I liked this director's Rusalka so much I splashed out on a ticket dead centre of the foyer circle so got an unimpeded view. I was glad I did. This is a lovely production and I am sure Janacek would have been delighted. A few folk commented, and I agreed, that it was sometimes a little hard to work out what woodland animals were being represented on first viewing but that is a minor cavil. The Ukrainian conductor commented in last weekend's study day that Ukraine is close to Moravia and this opera is one he has been longing to do. I think that showed. Nuff said.

R2 Foam Tire Compound: Front
R2 Foam Tire Compound: Rear
R2 Foam Tire Compound Derived from the popular "X" series of foam rubber compounds, the "R" series foam rubber has a better wear characteristic than the same density X2 only with barely a slight less amount of grip when compared to the X2 compound at most tracks. What it is good for is right side tires when X2's are the choice but maybe you are wearing them a little more than you like to. Also using them as a full set works very well when the track is tacky or wet and you need the car to roll easier and not be "stuck in the mud". Just like our other popular foam racing tires, the "letter" indicates the rubber type and is followed by a number that tells you the density rating of the foam compound...so the higher the number the greater the density. We will offer this rubber in R2 only at this point as the firmer versions of this compound do not seem to be fitting track conditions that are typically offered.
Carbon Battery Mounts
This mounting kit replaces the stock battery brackets and gives you the ability to move the battery left and right of the locating holes in your chassis. These mounts are a BIG help to regain your car's balance coming from the lighter weight 3200 DODC style batteries by allowing you to move the newer heavier batteries more inboard on the Intimidator kits. With the Rocket Stage 3 kits it also gives you freedom to move the battery as well and achieve greater balance and cornering.
Thrust Bearing Assembly
Gone are the days of trying to wrangle down the 6 tiny balls for the diff screw. This item is now a stock part in all kits, and fits CustomWorks differentials for electric, nitro and new style direct drive transmissions.
Titanium Front Axles
This option part is a direct replacement for the front axles in all CustomWorks kits not using the inclined spindles. Made in the USA from titanium this is the best axle you can have on your hot rod for weight and durabilty. Why even think about a steel axle if you happen to bend the stock aluminum axle??? This is the last front axle you will ever buy if you race the high side hard and fast!.
Machined Blades
This is the best blade we offer and lasts multiple races provided you put a tad bit of diff lube on it prior to the race day. The blade type design allows the rear suspension to move easier while under constant drive from the motor making the car turn easier thru the centers of the corner and off. Blade type outdrives are suggested for all dirt oval racing using foam tires, mod to stock. Also they are suggested for loose dirt rubber tire cars provided the power of the class is 13.5 blinky or less.
Tornado Mid West Modified Body
CustomWorks has released a "Tornado" for the dirt oval racer! Inspired by the real cars that race in the USMTS, IMCA, or UMP series across the nations heartland, the Tornado is a mid-western style dirt oval body sized for a variety of short course vehicles including Traxxas Slash, Associated, Losi as well as others. Molded from quality impact resistant polycarbonate the shape of the body panels provide both great looks and rigid form.

That wasn't enough, so he joined the world's largest band at the time (Van Halen), and took them to commercial heights that even they… Read More
Cavalera Conspiracy
There's always good news and bad news whenever Max Cavalera gets busy with new music. The good is that you get a whole lot of new music, seemingly all in a very short time. The bad news is it's generally spotty at best, because he simply writes and releases too much music at the same time. His band Soulfly released… Read More
With a ton of speculation and even more wonderment on this band's ability to continue on without founding members Paul Gray and Joey Jordison, Slipknot has returned after far too long of a layoff with .5 THE GRAY MATTER. I've listened to this release multiple times a day for the last week or so that I've had it,… Read More
I could write all kinds of stuff about how Vader are the icons of Polish Death Metal. I could put all kinds of praise on them, and talk about how they and Behemoth are the trendsetters that allowed people to understand that Poland had some death metal brilliance coming out of their country. I could talk for a long time that they are playing faster than ever before. Or I can give you a fascinating fact about the new Vader release, TIBI ET IGNI. I'll go with that. There's a soft, slow part on TIBI ET IGNI. That's right! Are you surprised? For almost two minutes at the start of "Go To Hell", you get lulled in with a creepy, haunting and yet very soft and docile opening movement. Amazing, right? Don't be fooled though. From there, you are launched into what Vader does best - destroy you with a furiousness that only the most elite of the old school death metal bands have ever been able to offer. TIBI ET IGNI is an old school release, and much like their previous effort WELCOME TO THE MORBID REICH, it just flat out crushes.
There's a million reasons to love this effort. I'll name a few. First, "Armada On Fire". Simply put, I just miss this kind of death metal. "Armada On Fire" sounds like the kind of cool stuff that came out in the early '90s after Cannibal Corpse redefined the genre with EATEN BACK TO LIFE and BUTCHERED AT BIRTH. This is old school death metal, with crazy drumming, sick speed riffs on guitar, and guttural vocals that feel as sickening as the message they are trying to portray. That's always been a hallmark of Vader vocalist Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek. His vocals have always been evil as fuck, and yet they are just clear enough to be understood easily, which makes them far more heavy and evil.
Second, "Triumph Of Death". This may just be the best song in Vader's entire catalog. It's led by some crazy fast footwork of drummer James Stewart, as well as some cool guitar work from both Wiwczarek and Marek "Spider" Parek. This track is just raging throughout. Again, and I can't emphasize this enough, but the vibe here is that of the most classic sounding death metal you can think of. Think about releases like Obituary's CAUSE OF DEATH or Immolation's DAWN OF POSSESSION from the old days and you'll get the idea.
Third, the rest of the release. Over the course of TIBI ET IGNI, there just is no let up. It just keeps hitting you in the face like the husband of an abused housewife that somehow thinks he'll change one day. The launch of brutality on songs like "Abandon All Hope" and "The Eye Of The Abyss" is literally tiring, and yet sonically awesome from start to finish.
PITRIFF RATING - 99/100 - This is as close to perfect as it gets for me in the world of death metal. It has all the right elements. The songs hit hard and fast. There's no metalcore crap to ruin it. The production is top notch. The release itself is not too long to where you get bored with it. TIBI ET IGNI is a powerful release from a band that is, arguably, the best in the business today at creating death metal. That's a huge claim, I know. Time and time again though, Vader backs it up. Incredible release.

There aren't many people who have Bill O'Reilly's ear, but it seems that God himself may have him on the speed dial.
At least that's the impression that emerged this week when O'Reilly sat down with CBS's Norah O'Donnell and startled her with the admission that his latest book - which he hopes will make the New York Times best-seller list - was inspired by God.
A voice came to him in the middle of the night, O'Reilly revealed, telling him to write his new book Killing Jesus: A History.
The last three of O'Reilly's historical books have involved the murder of famous figureheads.
The 64-year-old Fox News anchor told O'Donnell he was directed to write the book by the Holy Spirit, adding that he suspects it's all part of God's plan for him.
The interview will air on the 46th-season premiere of "60 Minutes" on Sunday evening." Killing Jesus" follows in the footsteps of O'Reilly's two previous best-sellers, Killing Lincoln and Killing Kennedy.
O'Reilly's Lincoln book was panned by some critics in 2011 for a series of mistakes about the former president but it zoomed to the top of the bestseller list.
According to the Daily Mail the book was banned from Ford Theatre bookstores despite appearing in the top ten New York Times best-seller list for two months.

There are a number of noteworthy things and people that have emerged from Manhasset, and now that list has just been increased by one. Three years ago the Long Island Junior Chamber ("Jaycees") was started in Manhasset, and was just named "Best Activist Group" by the Long Island Press. The Long Island Press compiles an annual list of the "Best of Long Island," and their 2006 list was released in January.
"I am happy to report that the Town [of North Hempstead] is on its strongest financial footing in Town history."
More than 1,600 athletes from 20 nations descended on Sydney, Australia for the Australian Youth Olympic Festival (AYOF) held every two years since 2001. Organized by the Australian Olympic Committee, the international sports competition features athletes under the ages of 18 and 19-including many future Olympians-in 16 sports competing at venues throughout the city. The year marked the first to include competitive sailing.
Congratulations to the Manhasset Middle School Girls Swim Team for two undefeated seasons. Thanks to all the girls and Coach Larke for an amazing season. Wishing good luck to the eighth-grade girls moving up to varsity and to the seventh-grade girls next season.

Sharing this purely because it's amazing. Hat-tip to John Hutchinson for sharing!
the title intrigued me but there is only a black box frame to be seen, no text. was it a video or what?
just curuious
Thanks, that definitely qualifies as amazing. I also watched a few other short all-CGI films, mostly on Cgbros account that were pretty decent.
Then I made the mistake of clicking on something to do with Saturn Occult and ended up in the nutjob section of YT. Apparently, Saturn is time and the god of the bible (and possibly also Satan – it was a little unclear), and NASA knows a lot more about the planet than they're telling the public. This was the least bizarre thing that I was told during the 15 minutes that I was unable to stop myself from wasting. Now I need to see a video of a cat playing a piano…

July 23, 2013
A status update on Twitter from Mick Foley, where he stated that TNA wished him a happy birthday while WWE has yet do so.

June 8, 2014

April 18, 2014
Over the last few weeks, Mick Foley has drawn some heat from WWE fans because he has been critical of the product that Vince McMahon and Triple H are producing, especially in regards to how they are utilizing Daniel Bryan. Foley will probably draw some further ire with this Twitter post, where he praises Impact Wrestling.
March 8, 2014
Even though he has been highly critical of WWE as of late, fans are not turning on Mick Foley as some predicted that they would. Instead, they're flocking to the hardcore legend. Through this Twitter post, he revealed that he has now reached a million followers, and he expressed his gratitude towards every single fan that is still on his side.
February 25, 2014
Those who watched Elimination Chamber 2014 and Monday Night Raw this week, witnessed the WWE audience turning on Batista because they do not approve of his push and his attitude towards the fans since returning. Mick Foley posted this message on Twitter, stating that he has never seen anything like it before in his long career.
February 24, 2014
Through this Twitter post, Mick Foley revealed that he was invited by WWE to show up on the Monday Night Raw panel, which featured Ric Flair and Booker T, tonight. He joked that it was a wise decision because he would have cried at how disappointed he was with management for keeping Daniel Bryan out of Wrestlemania 30.
February 24, 2014
Like many of us wrestling fans, Mick Foley was hoping for an amazing episode of Monday Night Raw this week because the company needed to promote the new WWE Network and kick start the build for Wrestlemania 30. In this Twitter post, he expressed his disappointment and admitted that he was wrong for having faith in WWE.
February 24, 2014
A lot of fans were disappointed with how things ended at Elimination Chamber 2014.

Mick Foley shared those sentiments by posting this message on his Twitter account.
February 24, 2014
Since he is quite ambitious and wants to see his comedy career really taking off, Mick Foley booked himself a lot of shows in the early part of 2014.

February 11, 2014
Tammy Sytch posted a picture of herself with Mick Foley on Twitter.
November 10, 2013
A rather interesting scene took place during the Divas invitational match at Wrestlemania 30 last night. Cameron suffered a wardrobe malfunction, where her top came unhooked during a spot with Emma. Cameron was noticeably trying to hold on to her shirt, so that her breasts would not become exposed to WWE fans. After the spot, she went to the side and repaired the wardrobe malfunction.
April 7, 2014
There are rumors floating around that new Michelle McCool wardrobe malfunction pictures are available online. However, that is not the case. It is simply a website called Break trying to draw in WWE fans. They are using wardrobe malfunction pictures of Kate Upton to do so. She is showing a little bit of her nipples. It is definitely not Michelle McCool.
April 6, 2014
Rumors are floating around that there are some wardrobe malfunction pics of Lita floating around the internet. It turns out that the source of those rumors is Dhantenan, a foreign website that has jokes, wallpapers and screen savers. They are luring in WWE fans with the promise of semi nude pictures, but there is really nothing there.
March 21, 2014
Since she is unlikely to show up naked in Playboy magazine anytime soon, wrestling fans have flocked online to see if they can find a wardrobe malfunction video, in order to get more of a glimpse of Summer Rae. This clip, which barely shows her purple thong, has proven to be a highly viewed video on YouTube.
March 20, 2014
There are rumors of Brie Bella nude photos being available online, but that is simply a hoax by Black Sports Online. The website is trying to generate traffic from wrestling fans by using the wardrobe malfunction incident on Monday Night Raw from a while back as the draw. While there are a few pictures on the website of the WWE diva, none feature her being naked.
January 2, 2014
While she is no longer with TNA, Brooke Hogan is still on the minds of many wrestling fans. Searches for her wardrobe malfunction pictures from Impact Wrestling still remain high. Despite that, it appears unlikely that she will ever return to the industry, as she now seems focused solely on her music career.
January 2, 2014
There are rumors that Summer Rae recently suffered a wardrobe malfunction, which has caused thousands of fans to flock to the internet in search of these coveted pictures. However, none exists because it has yet to happen. While the blonde bombshell does wear skimpy skirts, WWE has been very careful about not letting that happen.
January 2, 2014
There are still a lot of wrestling fans who are under the belief that Chyna suffered a wardrobe malfunction at the Judgment Day pay per view back in 2001, where she defended the WWE Women's Championship against Lita. If there was a malfunction of her wardrobe that evening, it was not very noticeable or notable.
January 1, 2014
A picture of the Brooke Hogan wardrobe malfunction during the Impact Wrestling segment where she got married to Bully Ray.
January 1, 2014
The screen went blank temporarily during Monday Night Raw this week, as WWE quickly covered up a wardrobe malfunction that Aksana had during the big divas tag team match.
November 26, 2013
It looks like the relationship between Mick Foley and WWE has greatly improved. The former world heavyweight champion eagerly announced to his fans that he will be doing a special one man comedy show in Brooklyn for the WWE Network later on this month. The two sides have long discussed the possibility of doing such a deal, but the company never pulled the trigger. The belief was that there were those within who were upset with comments that Foley had been making about WWE.
November 13, 2014
Fox wanted Mick Foley to portray Santa Clause in an upcoming episode of their hit series New Girls, but the Hardcore Legend had to turn it down. Upon reading the script, he found out that the producers wanted him to throw out some sexual innuendos while in costume. Foley, who happens to be a gigantic fan of Santa Clause, stated that he rejected the role because he has too much respect for the character.
November 1, 2014
With the amount of punishment that his body went through during his long professional wrestling career, Mick Foley understandably prefers that his children not follow his footsteps. However, that is exactly what is happening. Noelle Foley is reportedly training to become an in ring performer. The 20 year old is said to be training somewhere in the Long Island area.
October 12, 2014
A new sitcom called Wrestling With Joeylicious, and as the name suggests, it is centered around the world of professional wrestling. The lead character clings on to his dreams by working at low level independent wrestling shows. Producers have managed to sign Roddy Piper, Mick Foley, Tito Santana and Jimmy Snuka to make an appearance on the show. They will each be portraying themselves.
September 25, 2014
All those years of taking vicious bumps in a wrestling ring have taken a toll on Mick Foley. The WWE legend revealed that he is going in for back surgery this month. Foley states that it is a minor procedure, but he hopes that it will produce major improvements. The former world heavyweight champion said that the pain in his back for the last two weeks have been beyond excruciating.
September 4, 2014
Considering the amount of pain that he withstood for the sake of entertaining fans over the years, it is a bit surprising that Mick Foley did not spend more time on the sidelines. He has retired from WWE now, but an injury is preventing him from working. Back issues have prompted the former world heavyweight champion to cancel an upcoming appearance in Denver. No word yet on whether or not it will be rescheduled.
August 27, 2014
While he may not be on great terms with WWE officials, Mick Foley apparently is still on very good terms with a lot of the performers. A handful of them, including Road Dogg, took the time and made the effort to go watch his comedy show in Ventura. The venue is approximately 90 minutes away from the Staples Center, where Summerslam 2014 will be held.
August 16, 2014
Some wrestling fans take it too far. Someone recently posted that they wanted to get a tattoo of a blood Mick Foley on their body. The WWE legend himself tried to put a stop to that. Foley advised the person that it would not be a smart move because it is something permanent. It would be something that the person would have to explain to a future spouse.
August 10, 2014
"Dolph Ziggler has got to be one of the toughest men to put on a pair of boots, but he's going to be like Mick Foley in another five years because that kid beats his body up more than anybody on the crew. I do know this, in my dealings with him, when I'm his producer, he gives everything he's got. He does some really phenomenal and athletic stuff." - Arn Anderson thinks WWE should push Ziggler
July 20, 2014
For whatever reasons, Mick Foley took to social media this week to defend Batista, stating that it was unfair for fans to have this much hate towards him and his WWE return. Foley mentioned that Batista was at the wrong place at the wrong time because fans were so desperate to see Daniel Bryan being given a proper push. He also feels that not enough people are happy for Batista being featured in a big movie this summer.
July 14, 2014
Showing that some friendships extend beyond the business, Undertaker and his wife Michelle McCool recently attended a comedy show featuring Mick Foley. The longtime WWE couple wanted to show support for their old friend. The two of them even went backstage to catch up with Foley for a bit. Several wrestlers in the industry, including CM Punk recently, have made the effort to go watch Foley tell jokes.
July 14, 2014
Another source of discontent for WWE performers lately is the amount of the royalty checks that are being handed out. Wrestlers who used to receive $70,000 quarterly checks for the video game are now reportedly receiving closer to $10,000. There has been some proof of that, as Mick Foley was quite vocal towards WWE about the decrease in royalties earlier in the year. A lot of the top level performers received approximately $1,500 on their second quarterly royalty check, which surprised a lot of people backstage.
July 10, 2014
During a recent interview, Mick Foley was asked about the possible return of CM Punk to WWE, and the hardcore legend revealed something a bit interesting. Foley stated that he has attempted to contact Punk, but Punk has ignored all communications with Foley. The brutally honest Foley also mentioned that he believes that Punk is ignoring the majority of people in the industry right now.
June 28, 2014
"Yes, I like Hulk Hogan - and here's why. With each passing year, I think I gain a better perspective on what's really important in life. There was a time - a period of many years - where Hulk's name would bring up some negative feelings for me. He was the guy who made far more than I did with a style that was the antithesis of mine. But for the past several years, whenever I see Hulk Hogan, all I can think of are the words Shane Douglas shared with me about Hulk Hogan and the kindness and warmth with which he showered the kids facing life-threatening challenges, who seemed to find strength and inspiration in Hulk's larger than life physique and personality. I'll never forget those words Shane told me, 'Those kids would just be beaming.' Those words are all I think of when I see Hogan, People can take issue with his wrestling style...as they often do with mine. But, when it's all said and done, Hulk Hogan used that oversized personality, and really big heart to ease so much suffering that he saw around him.. In the bigger picture, does anything else really matter?" - Mick Foley shares his feelings on Hulk Hogan
June 27, 2014
Those that have been following Mick Foley closely over the last year are aware that there is some sort of backstage heat between he and Vince McMahon. WWE has given him the cold shoulders on a couple of occasions. Foley has now revealed a possible source of that friction. He accidentally sent a message to McMahon while trying to send to Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan. The content of that message was Foley complaining about WWE not doing the right thing and putting Bryan over when his popularity was at its peak.
June 27, 2014
Through his personal blog on Facebook, Mick Foley revealed that he was supporting Dolph Ziggler. The WWE legend also revealed why he was rooting for the former world heavyweight champion. He stated that fans were behind Ziggler during his push because they knew that he had worked hard to get to the top. Foley wants WWE to get fans to believe that hard work pays off by pushing Ziggler again.
June 24, 2014
"I wasn't sold on him. I wasn't sold on the idea that they kept comparing him to Bruiser Brody, because Brody for the longtime wrestling fan was one of the great wrestlers of his era or of all time. But he was known as the intelligent monster and Harper was an out of control maniac. I think once you stop trying to imitate somebody and find your own way things really start clicking. So, I've been watching him and things have really been clicking and after the Wyatts have this amazing run, hopefully as long as possible, yeah, I do think he has what it takes to become a singles star." - Mick Foley shares his views on Luke Harper and his potential to become a star in WWE
June 15, 2014
"If Luke Harper were a stock, I'd be buying him now. I've watched carefully for a while, and in the past two months, I've finally become sold on the big man, not only as an invaluable part of the bizarre The Wyatt Family, but as a potential breakout star on his own. Finding your way, and blazing your own unique path is no easy task in WWE, especially when standing in the very long shadow of Bray Wyatt. But Harper has found that way. I wasn't ready to buy into the Bruiser Brody comparison, no matter how many times it was brought up. Brody, a legend in the business, and a huge inspiration on my own career, was known as "the intelligent monster." Harper has excelled in my mind, by stepping off that path that Brody blazed, and finding his own, unique way to excel in WWE - as the guy who can do anything at any time, without any seeming rhyme or reason. The hurricanrana followed by a dropkick makes perfect sense, because it makes absolutely no sense. Here's one wrestling fan looking forward to Luke Harper's matches making little sense, but a huge impact on WWE Monday Night Raw for a long time to come." - Mick Foley praises Luke Harper
June 11, 2014
A picture of Elijah Burke recently visiting WWE legend Mick Foley during one of his comedy shows in Jacksonville.
June 2, 2014
"The purpose of my post. I'm not to suggest that Dolph Ziggler join Global Force Wrestling, just using him as an example of how subjective WWE decisions can be. I do agree that Dolph Ziggler is a terrible ring name. A couple of years ago, I sent a very detailed e-mail to the powers that be with a suggestion of how he could get out of the name and simultaneously garner some mainstream media attention, but never heard back from those in charge." - Mick Foley explaining his post about Dolph Ziggler on Twitter

Blood banking is the process that takes place in a laboratory to ensure that the donated blood or blood products are safe before they are used in blood transfusions and other medical procedures. Blood banking includes typing the blood for compatibility and testing for infectious diseases.
Most blood donors are volunteers. However, sometimes a patient may want to donate blood a couple of weeks before undergoing surgery, so that his/her blood is available in case a blood transfusion is necessary. Donating blood for yourself is called an autologous donation.
To further ensure the safety of the blood donation process and available blood supply, volunteer blood donors must pass certain criteria, including the following:
Some states permit persons younger than 16 or 17 years to donate blood with parental consent.
A certain set of standard tests are performed in the laboratory once blood is donated, including, but not limited to, the following:
According to the American Association of Blood Banks, distribution of blood types in the US includes the following:
While blood or one of its components may be transferred, each component serves many functions:
Albumin, immune globulins, and clotting factor concentrates may also be separated and processed for transfusions.

Nick Saban says Alabama's success doesn't come easy
BY STEVE GREENBERG email@example.com July 18, 2013 9:23PM

Updated: July 18, 2013 11:34PM
HOOVER, Ala. — The Nicktator stood before a ballroom overflowing with members of the college football media — many of them real, live so-called experts — and shook his head in disapproval.
Normally, this would've been a terrifying moment. But the mood was light enough to take the edge off the voice of perhaps the most powerful coach in sports.
"I'd like to make a note here," Alabama's Nick Saban began, "that in the last 21 seasons, you as the media have only picked the right team four times to win the [Southeastern Conference]. Now, if I was 4-17 as a coach, I would be back in West Virginia pumping gas at my daddy's gas station."
It was both good for a laugh and a good point. It doesn't take an expert to see the SEC as — far and away — the best football conference in the country, but predicting which team will shine brightest isn't as simple as it seems.
Alabama has won the national championship in three of the last four seasons and clearly exists on its own plane, but Auburn, LSU and Florida also have won it all during the league's seven-year stranglehold on the sport. In 2011, the Tide rolled to glory, despite not even winning the SEC West. A year before that, Cam Newton embarrassed Saban's vaunted defense before capping a 14-0 campaign that nearly broke this bitterly divided, college football-crazed state in half.
Even last season, when Alabama gave Notre Dame a beatdown for the ages in the BCS title game, there was a two-yard escape against Georgia in the SEC title game and, three weeks before that, a truly shocking loss to upstart Texas A&M in Tuscaloosa.
"There are great teams throughout this league," Georgia defensive end Garrison Smith said on the last day of this annual gathering of SEC coaches, star players and media. "You can't be Nostradamuses and try to predict the future. You have to see what happens."
Alas, how easy it is to click on Alabama first before submitting one's predicted order of finish. Of the 243 media members who participated in preseason voting, 182 picked the Tide to win the SEC. Presumably, an equal number — or darned close — would agree that's essentially the same as picking the Tide to make it four national titles in five years.
The SEC West voting was even more eye-opening. For all the Aggies accomplished in their first season in the conference — 11 victories, a Heisman Trophy for quarterback Johnny Manziel — they've fooled next to no one into thinking they can take down the Tide in the standings.
How many votes for Alabama to win the West? Only 225. For second-place A&M? Um, 11.
Saban's team also placed seven offensive or defensive players on the preseason All-SEC team. No other school had more than two.
Still, the coach doesn't want anyone to think this is easy.
"It's a challenge each year to reinvent your team," he said.
It's a challenge only the coach of Alabama could truly understand. No other program in the country can honestly pretend to be doing the national title-or-bust thing year after year. Nowhere other than 50 miles down the road in Tuscaloosa are the stakes nearly so high.
"Everyone goes through their era in college football," said AJ McCarron, the starting quarterback on the last two title teams. "Miami was good for years, then Florida State, then Nebraska. Everyone has their time, and then it falls off.
"Our thing is, why does it have to leave?"

Since Bye, Jets Have Improved at Flag FootballPosted by on December 6, 2012 – 4:53 pm
Earlier in the season, at Pittsburgh, Miami, New England and against Indianapolis, penalties were a big issue for the Jets.
Lately the yellow flags have become an issue again, but in a good way. As head coach Rex Ryan said on Wednesday, "There are some things that we're really doing a great job at right now. A thing we've emphasized since the break was penalties."
It shows. Since Nov. 1, the Jets are No. 2 in the NFL in fewest penalties, 4.3 infractions marked off per game, behind Atlanta's 4.0, and the Green & White are No. 1 in the league with 27.5 yards per game.
"It's about paying attention to details," said NT Sione Po'uha. "When you're playing an opponent, you don't want to be an opponent to yourself."
"There's a lot of different facets to a game," added Mike DeVito, his next-door neighbor on the DL. "Sometimes you overlook some of them or forget about some of them."
But since the bye week, the turnaround has been dramatic after the Jets, through the first eight weeks of the season, were tied for 21st in the NFL in penalties and 25th in yards.
First Ryan put the teeth back into the flags being thrown by Joe Yacovino and his crew of practice officials, telling them to tighten up all their calls. Then he returned to a practice practice that he and the Jets instituted in 2010.
"Every time there's a penalty at practice, everybody does 10 pushups," said Mike Westhoff, who's coordinated the Jets practice officials since he arrived on Herm Edwards' staff in 2001. "All the players, all the coaches. Everybody except the guy who committed the penalty."
Said LB David Harris: "We've gotten our triceps a lot stronger the last month or so."
Some Jets have always had a knack for playing clean. Harris has gone 29 games since his last penalty, a facemask on BenJarvus Green-Ellis in the 2010 AFC Divisional triumph at New England. DeVito, who arrived in 2007, has never had a major penalty called on him in his career, just four 5-yarders. LT D'Brickashaw Ferguson has gone 38 games, since mid-2010, without a holding call.
And imagine this: Po'uha's played in 108 games, including playoffs, in his Jets career and he's been flagged exactly once for a penalty.
"Knock on wood," said Big Bo. "I remember the encroachment but I don't remember who it was against."
As luck would have it, Po'uha's penalty came against Jacksonville in 2009. Perhaps Jaguars center Brad Meester had something to do with influencing the nose tackle to encroach. If so, it looks as if Sione could get some payback on Sunday at Jacksonville, now that Meester's foot injury seems to be coming around.
"Penalties can hurt you," said LB Bryan Thomas, who's been whistled for a mere five penalties in his 11-year career and has had no majors in his last 60 games. "They can come on the last play of the game and give the other team one more play. They can keep drives going."
"You definitely do not want to take steps backward," Po'uha agreed about the hidden yardage of penalties that the Jets have recently turned back in their favor. "They say it's a game of inches. Don't hurt yourself by setting yourself back yards."
One More Thing on Penalties
Except for the occasional downtrend such as in the first half of this year, the Jets have been the state of the art when it comes to not committing penalties. Since 2001, 12 seasons combined, their 1,026 penalties and 8,346 penalty yards both continue to lead the league.
Thursday Injury Reports
Three Jets players were DNPs today — WR Clyde Gates (concussion), who Rex Ryan said is a week away from returning to action, TE Dustin Keller (ankle), and S LaRon Landry (heel) with his usual Thursday reduced load.
WR Stephen Hill (knee) was limited, as was QB Tim Tebow again (ribs). NT Damon Harrison became the 23rd Jet to be listed this week. He's also limited, with an ankle.
For the Jaguars, their two top offensive threats, RB Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) and WR Cecil Shorts (concussion), again did not practice. A report out of Jacksonville said the Jags are likely to go with their "last back standing," Montell Owens, at tailback vs. the Jets, although RB Greg Jones (thigh) was limited today after being a DNP on Wednesday.
Also not practicing were C Michael Brewster (hand), RB Rashad Jennings (concussion), CB Aaron Ross (calf) and DE George Selvie (concussion). Meester (foot) and CB Derek Cox (hamstring) were both full-go today.
