Hi, We are looking for a rooster for our hens. If anyone has an extra rooster that needs a good home and plenty of hens, send him our way. :-) We are in Phoenix and can come pick him up this weekend.
Thank you,
Views: 64
Oh my goodness! People never want to get roosters, just give away! I have a lovely young barred rock named Triller! We already had a great rooster, then this hen chick my son adopted and raised as a pet turned out to be a very nice rooster. We would be positively THRILLED to find a good home for him!
You may have better luck posting in the Micro Livestalk group rather than the blogs.
This is the link to that group:
Also, be sure you can have a rooster. Most cities that allow hens do NOT allow roosters due to the crowing. Bock bock!


text: beason murders Christopher Harris Wants New Trial By Sean Crawford • Jul 8, 2013 Logan County A central Illinois man convicted in May of beating to death five members of his ex-wife's family in their home wants a new trial. Attorneys Daniel Fultz and Peter Naylor mailed a motion asking for a new trial for Christopher Harris last Friday. A spokeswoman for the Logan County Circuit Clerk's Office said Monday that it hasn't yet arrived. The attorneys argue Judge Scott Drazewski denied 34-year-old Harris a fair trial by refusing to let jurors visit the home in Beason where Rick and Ruth Gee and their children died in 2009.

One of my friends I work with was making the point the other day that in business, you get more in this world by knowing the right people. Basically the 'It's not what you know, it's who you know'arguement. I answered "Yeah, but I don't know that many people."
My friend pulled out a piece of paper and made a list of people (business contacts) she knew were people that A) I had met, B) who thought favorably of me (or at least not unfavorably of me) and C) with whom I had something in common that we could talk about instead of the weather.
I was astounded: in 30 seconds, she had a list of 10+ people who met all of those criteria. I got to thinking about all the people that I do know, or have talked to at one time or another, and couldn't believe the number of contacts I have.
Unfortunately, my problem is that I seldom remember names: almost all of the time, I can remember a trait or a story about them.
Here's an example:
G- to Mivox "What's that guy's name? From Iowa, runs that Webmaster site...talks endlessly about about lawnmowers if you get him started...?"
Mivox: "You mean Brett Tabke?"
I started to make a list of people I know, and soon realized that it is an overwhelming task to keep track of it all. I'd like to keep all this in one place, so the PDA was the most logical answer.
Ideally, I'd like the software to:
A) Be an address book on steriods: not only contact information, but fields which allow me to put input information I know about this person so we have something to talk about..
B) Every field be searchable: most of the time, I don't remember someone's name, so I need to be able to search on "Iowa" or "Lawnmowers" or webmaster to get to the name "Brett Tabke"
C) Have a place where I can put the last time I spoke with that contact and nag me to 'keep in touch' at certain intervals..
D) Be able to be dumped into a text only delimited file so when my PDA poops out or the sofware is no longer made, I can put the information into another database in the future.
I'd appreciate any help you can give: I don't even know what this type of software, if it exists, is called Address book on steriods ... ? *shrug*
<added>Here (description from thinkDB's website):
AcquaintanceReminder - Looks like a contact list but allows users to recall someones name based on their appearance.
Are there any others worth considering? What about DbNow?
ps: my yard is the first one on the block to green up! And yes, I'll be tracking my lawn care this year in a database. Just got the soil tests back last week - so I'm primed. Can you get a gps unit for a Snapper mower?
I haven't used any Palm DB programs much besides ThinkDB, but once I started playing with it, I couldn't find anything I wanted done that it couldn't do (had to add one free plug-in for a home improvement project tracking database I created, but other than that...).
I'm sure any of the "big name" Palm DBs would do a fine job, but knowing Heather had a copy of tDB v2.0 (haven't updated to 2.5 yet myself), it seemed like the most obvious recommendation.

|Reason For Recall
|Sunquest is recalling Sunquest Laboratory versions 6.1.0125 through 6.1.0139, 6.2.1, 6.2.2, 7.0, and 7.0.1 because when the Windows-based merge application is used and the "Event merge across patients" option is used, a receiving system (for example a HIS or CoPath system) may interpret the event merge as a full patient merge.

Janice Jann is newly svelte, but still loves her food!
A few months ago, Audrey contributor Janice Jann won First Princess in the 2010 Miss Los Angeles Chinatown. Since then, she's been blogging about life as a beauty queen — from a real girl perspective. Here, part two of a First Princess's tales from the inside.
A couple of days ago, I went to the gym and weighed myself on the scale and my jaw dropped to the ground. I had lost 20 pounds in the past six months. Physically, it's not that big of a difference, is it?
Winning Miss Los Angeles Chinatown 2010 First Princess is not the best reward I received from this whole pageant experience. This body was.
For the past four months, I dragged myself out of bed nearly every single morning and worked out, whether taking ballroom dancing classes, lifting weights or just using the bicycle machines. I moderated what I ate, chomping on carrot sticks like I was Roger Rabbit and turning a blind eye to every burger joint and taco shack. It was not an easy task. I am a girl who loves to eat. If I could choose eternal beauty or the opportunity to enjoy amazing meals every single day of my life, food will win every time. I get giddy over a beautiful piece of steak. I think sharing a meal with someone is one of the most worthwhile ways of bonding and communion. I take pictures of food, for goodness sakes! So yea, it's safe to say I like food a lot.
And I am not naturally skinny. While it is true that I am skinnier than most, I am by no means a lithe size 0 with a six pack (maybe of beer …). I worked hard to get to this size. There is no secret magic shortcut to staying thin. You pretty much have to love yourself and your body enough to want to eat healthy and work out.
Taking care of your body the right way will not only give you a satisfactory physical appearance, it will make you feel better all around. I'm more alert, more awake because I don't weigh myself down with sweets and fatty foods. I don't break out as much. I go (you know, go) easily and on a regular basis. Endorphins flow through my veins, making me happier and smilier. I'm more flexible and quicker on my feet (still as klumsy as ever, though). I find that taking classes greatly boosts my motivation towards working out. It is really hard to slack off when you have all these middle-aged housewives puffing away, sweating bullets.
Now that the pageant is over, my top priority is keeping myself in shape. It does get kind of hard when I have weekly banquets to go to, where seven-course Chinese meals await, but I just also remember to keep my portions in check and remember that if I eat too much today, tomorrow is always a fresh new day.

The countdown is on till the lighting of an annual Christmas tradition, the famed Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree!
This year's tree, a 74' tall Norway spruce from a family in Mifflinville, Pennsylvania was lifted into place back in early November. Workers spent weeks putting the famed lights on the tree, and on top, a 550lb Swarovski crystal star filled with 720 IED lights and more than 25,000 crystals.
The tree isn't the only star of the night, there will be several musical performances leading up to the lighting ceremony including: Tony Bennett, Justin Bieber, Michael Bublé, Cee Lo Green, Faith Hill, Carole King, Katharine McPhee, Javier Colon and The Radio City Rockettes.
The show will be co-hosted by Al Roker and Savannah Guthrie, both of the TODAY Show. You can watch the Rockefeller Tree Lighting live right here on WITN at 8:00 pm.

May 30, 2016
The new director of the Clarke county Emergency Management Agency and Fire Services says he's working on creating a response team for virtually any type of emergency.
Eddie Ivy says Clarke County already has very good volunteer fire departments and reservists for the police and sheriff's departments.
And Ivy wants his agency to be just as ready to back up those entities in case of severe weather causing damage or interruption of services and other emergencies.
"We're not trying to take away from any organization that already exists," said Ivy. "We're just trying to be able to back them up, to fill in where the needs are, and to have a group of folks that are ready to go."
Ivy says there are already many people who have and are stepping up to make a difference.
And he say it's critical for citizens to have their own plan for survival during the first 24 to 72 hours of a community-wide emergency.

Second born son (21 minutes later than his brother) is flying to Boston tomorrow to get his master's degree and probably won't be back for 12+ months. I'm going to install the longer stoker seat post on the tandem and we'll take our first tandem ride. I think I'll let him do must of the work The daVinci makes things a bit easier for a newbie stoker and we'll avoid the roads that have absolutely no shoulder. The daVinci will get a bit of a workout as we're both about 200 lbs, but I'm sure our trust 40h spokes are up to the task.
He's been living at home for a bit while he finished up school and really has his stuff together. My wife and I just hope he comes back from Boston, but the job market being what it his you go where you can find employment.
Ride recap to follow.

Clio Barnard's "The Arbor," a portrait of playwright Andrea Dunbar ("Rita Sue and Bob Too") and her daughter, has been picked up by Strand Releasing. The film, which won Barnard a best new documentary filmmaker prize at this year's Tribeca Film Festival, will get a theatrical U.S. release in April 2011.
The film pushes the limit of form; it is not simply a straightforward documentary and not an adaptation of Dunbar's work. On this site, Eric Kohn comments, "Tracking the experiences of British playwright Andrea Dunbar and her children, Barnard uses actors to lip-sync the words of their real life counterparts, creating an unexpectedly engaging narrative device." He continues, "The cumulative impact of 'The Arbor' is one of claustrophobia; at times, the endlessly downbeat adventures of Dunbar and her offspring grow almost unbearably morose. There's no escape because nobody has the capacity for it. [Dunbar's daughter Lisa's] despair speaks to the impact of trauma on collective memory, turning 'The Arbor' into a document of grief."
Commenting on the acquisition, Strand's Marcus Hu said, "'The Arbor' is an amazing and unique project. It's both artful and compelling viewing." The deal was struck between Jon Gerrans of Strand Releasing and John Flahive of Wavelength Pictures.

Taylor grew up in Denver, trained in the waters of Boulder Creek and Clear Creek, and now calls himself "Professor Splash". Last July, Taylor set a world record for shallow diving when dove from 35 feet high into a kiddie pool filled with one foot of water. "There's fear. But you mainly make sure you have a good flight plan," Taylor said. Taylor is a professional high diver who does theme shows and other events around the world. About 12 years ago, he read about the record for shallow diving and decided to go for it. "There's really no training, it's so dangerous," Taylor said. But he did admit there are some trade secrets. The dive looks somewhat like a belly flop but it's important to jump out and away, Taylor said. "I throw a lot of water and that's the key," Taylor said, explaining that the more water that splashes out of the pool the more the fall is cushioned. "If anyone wants to do this, I'll give them the films and some pointers," Taylor quipped. Next year, Taylor is planning to set a new world record in Berlin, Germany. But he may get that chance sooner if the Hollywood writer's strike is settled. Taylor was supposed to be on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno before the strike stopped production. At the time, the producers of the show wanted Taylor to jump into egg nog. He's not sure if that will be in the plan this time, but was told sparklers may be involved. Regardless of the set dressing, Taylor said he's enjoying the spoils of his work and loves every minute of it. To read more about Taylor's diving, go to www.professorsplash.com.

Light Fastness
Improved Print Quality
The real-world atmosphere contains mixed gases that cause color fading. Ozone (O3), nitrogen oxide (NOx) and sulfur oxide (SOx) must all be considered, therefore, as factors that effect image permanence.
Gas fastness has been improved with the combination of new genuine Canon dye inks, the 2008 new FINE print heads and "Photo Paper Plus Glossy II PP-201", "Photo Paper Pro II PR-201" or "Photo Paper Pro Platinum PT-101". It achieved "gas fastness approx. 20 years" which is longer than previous "gas fastness approx. 10 years".*
*About gas fastness:
Criteria for estimation
Estimated gas fastness is made under the following test conditions: Temperature (24°C) and humidity (60% RH) are controlled in an environment of mixed gases of O3, NOx and SOx. The ratio of the gases is typical to indoor air composition (O3: NOx: SOx = 3:19:1) with 100 times concentration in order to accelerate color fading.
Criteria for estimation of print longevity shown above
Estimates for image permanence are made using the Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc. endpoint criteria "WIR Visually-Weighted Endpoint Criteria Set v3.0" as follows; Samples are printed with an optical density of 1.0 and 0.6 (each black, cyan, magenta, yellow) by default printer driver setting of each media. The point where monochromatic/reflective optical density shows loss of 20-35% (figure set respectively for each color, starting density of 1.0 and 0.6). The point where the difference in color balance of yellow, magenta, and cyan (each component in composite black) reaches 12-18%.

The Washington Post is reporting the Federal Bureau of Investigation invoked non-existent terrorism emergencies to illegally collect more than 2,000 U.S. telephone call records between 2002 and 2006, and issued retroactive approvals to justify its actions.
While the improper phone record collection has been known publicly since 2008, the Post obtained internal Bureau emails that shed light on the behind-the-scenes skirmishing over them.
A Justice Department inspector general report slated for release later this month "is expected to conclude" the FBI frequently broke the law by invoking emergencies, the Post said.
FBI director Robert Mueller did not know about the problem until they came to light in an inspector general investigation that began in mid-2006, according to the Post.
"What this turned out to be was a self-inflicted wound," FBI General Counsel Valerie Caproni told the newspaper. She also acknowledged that the Bureau "technically violated the Electronic Communications Privacy Act when agents invoked nonexistent emergencies to collect records," the Post reported.
According to the Post, among those who raised concerns internally was FBI Special Agent Bassem Youssef, supervisor of the communications analysis unit that dealt with the records. Youssef brought the matter to the attention of his superiors in 2005, after he received complaints from phone companies about the FBI's failure to provide documentation showing the searches were legal, the newspaper said.
Youssef earlier had "fallen out of favor with FBI management" because he filed a whistleblower claim alleging he had been denied promotion and retaliated against because of his ethnicity, the Post reported.
The documentation sought by the phone companies were so-called national security letters, which were controversial in their own right because they allowed the FBI to obtain records without obtaining a formal court-approved search warrant.
Read the full Post report here. It was written by former Washington Post reporter John Solomon, who recently resigned as top editor of the Washington Times amid major staff cuts and management turmoil, and Washington Post staff writer Carrie Johnson.

Senate Democrats joined their House counterparts today in questioning the Obama administration's broad support of three expiring Patriot Act provisions that expand the government's powers in counter-terrorism investigations.
Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats pushed National Security Division Assistant Attorney General David Kris to comment today on proposed legislation that puts stipulations on the reauthorization of Patriot Act powers that sunset at the end of the year, The Associated Press reported. Panel Chair Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) introduced legislation yesterday that reapproves the provisions, but allows Congress and the public to better monitor the use of the powers.
Kris said the Justice Department does not have an official position on the bill beyond the administration's support of reauthorizing the expiring provisions, according to The AP. The Assistant Attorney General said in his written testimony that the Justice Department is "ready and willing to work with members … to craft legislation that both provides effective investigative authorities and protects privacy and civil liberties." National Security Division Deputy Assistant Attorney General Todd Hinnen also refused to take a position on possible changes to the provisions, which frustrated Democrats at a House Judiciary Constitution, civil rights and civil liberties subcommittee meeting yesterday.
Here's a summary of the provisions:
- Lone wolf: Allows government to track a target without any discernible affiliation to a foreign power, such as an international terrorist group. The provision only applies only to non-U.S. persons. It has never been used in a FISA application.
- Business records: Allows investigators to compel third parties, including financial services and travel and telephone companies, to provide them access to a suspect's records without the suspect's knowledge. From 2004 to 2007, the FISA court issued about 220 orders to produce business records.
- Roving wiretaps: Allows the government to monitor phone lines or Internet accounts that a terrorism suspect may be using, whether or not others who are not suspects also regularly use them. The government must provide the FISA court with specific information showing the suspect is purposely switching means of communication to evade detection. The government has applied for roving wiretaps an average of 22 times a year since 2001.
Leahy said, according to The AP, that the administration's position keeps "the cards … rather stacked" in favor of the government.
Kris responded, according to the news wire, "We're willing to look to see if these tools can be sharpened."
Like the House Republicans, Senate Republicans supported the Justice Department's position on the provisions. Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) said there is no indication that "there have been any abuses to date," according to The AP.
Democrats have long been skeptical of whether the Bush administration abused the Patriot Act powers and national security letters, which the FBI uses to obtain evidence without a court order. The Leahy bill and legislation introduced by Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) would put more restrictions on the letters.
DOJ Inspector General Glenn Fine said in his written testimony to the committee today that the Office of Inspector General found the FBI initially did not "take seriously enough its responsibility to ensure that these letters were used in accord with the law, Attorney General Guidelines, or FBI policies." But the FBI has taken steps to correct it use of the letters, he said.
"We … believe that as Congress considers reauthorizing provisions of the Patriot Act, it must ensure through continual and aggressive oversight that the FBI uses these important and intrusive investigative authorities appropriately," Fine wrote in his testimony.

Drinking Water Quality
Drinking water or potable water is water of sufficiently high quality that it can be consumed or used without risk of immediate or long term harm. In most developed countries, the water supplied to households, commerce and industry is all of drinking water standard, even though only a very small proportion is actually consumed or used in food preparation.
Over large parts of the world, humans have inadequate access to potable water and use sources contaminated with disease vectors, pathogens or unacceptable levels of dissolved chemicals or suspended solids. Such water is not potable and drinking or using such water in food preparation leads to widespread acute and chronic illnesses and is a major cause of death in many countries. Reduction of waterborne diseases is a major public health goal in developing countries.
Typically, water supply networks deliver potable water, whether it is to be used for drinking, washing or landscape irrigation. One counterexample is urban China, where drinking water can optionally be delivered by a separate tap.

Essential to the survival of all organisms,[1] water has always been an important and life-sustaining drink to humans. Excluding fat, water composes approximately 70% of the human body by mass. It is a crucial component of metabolic processes and serves as a solvent for many bodily solutes.Health authorities have historically suggested at least eight glasses, eight fluid ounces each (168 ml), of water per day (64 fluid ounces, or 1.89 litres),[2][3] and the British Dietetic Association recommends 1.8 litres.[1] The United States Environmental Protection Agency has determined that the average adult actually ingests 2.0 litres per day.[3]
Water Quality and Contaminants
Throughout most of the world, the most common contamination of raw water sources is from human sewage and in particular human faecal pathogens and parasites. In 2006, waterborne diseases were estimated to cause 1.8 million deaths each year while about 1.1 billion people lacked proper drinking water.[4]. It is clear that people in the developing world need to have access to good quality water in sufficient quantity, water purification technology and availability and distribution systems for water. In many parts of the world the only sources of water are from small streams often directly contaminated by sewage.
Most water requires some type of treatment before use, even water from deep wells or springs. The extent of treatment depends on the source of the water. Appropriate technology options in water treatment include both community-scale and household-scale point-of-use (POU) designs.[5]. A few large urban areas such as Christchurch, New Zealand have access to sufficiently pure water of sufficient volume that no treatment of the raw water is required.[6]
A way to kill microbial pathogenic agents in emergency when conventional treatment systems have been compromised is to heat water to a rolling boil[7] but this requires abundant sources of fuel, can be very onerous on consumers, especially where it is difficult to store boiled water in sterile conditions and is not a reliable way to kill some encysted parasites such as Cryptosporidium or the bacterium Clostridium. Other techniques, such as filtration, chemical disinfection, and exposure to ultraviolet radiation (including solar UV) have been demonstrated in an array of randomized control trials to significantly reduce levels of water-borne disease among users in low-income countries[8], but these suffer from the same problems as boiling methods.
Over the past decade, an increasing number of field-based studies have been undertaken to determine the success of POU measures in reducing waterborne disease. The ability of POU options to reduce disease is a function of both their ability to remove microbial pathogens if properly applied and such social factors as ease of use and cultural appropriateness. Technologies may generate more (or less) health benefit than their lab-based microbial removal performance would suggest.
The current priority of the proponents of POU treatment is to reach large numbers of low-income households on a sustainable basis. Few POU measures have reached significant scale thus far, but efforts to promote and commercially distribute these products to the world's poor have only been under way for a few years.
Parameters for drinking water quality typically fall under two categories: chemical/physical and microbiological. Chemical/physical parameters include heavy metals, trace organic compounds, total suspended solids (TSS), and turbidity. Microbiological parameters include Coliform bacteria, E. coli, and specific pathogenic species of bacteria (such as cholera-causing Vibrio cholerae), viruses, and protozoan parasites.
Chemical parameters tend to pose more of a chronic health risk through buildup of heavy metals although some components like nitrates/nitrites and arsenic may have a more immediate impact. Physical parameters affect the aesthetics and taste of the drinking water and may complicate the removal of microbial pathogens.
Originally, fecal contamination was determined with the presence of coliform bacteria, a convenient marker for a class of harmful fecal pathogens. The presence of fecal coliforms (like E. Coli) serves as an indication of contamination by sewage. Additional contaminants include protozoan oocysts such as Cryptosporidium sp., Giardia lamblia, Legionella, and viruses (enteric).[9] Microbial pathogenic parameters are typically of greatest concern because of their immediate health risk.
Only 46% in Africa have access to safe drinking water.
Drinking water vending machines in Thailand.One litre of purified water is sold (into the customer's own bottle) for 1 baht.
Although some 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by water much of this is saline. However freshwater is available in almost all populated areas of the earth although it may be expensive to access the water and the supply may not always be sustainable. Sources where water may be obtained include:
- ground sources such as groundwater, hyporheic zones and aquifers.
- precipitation which includes rain, hail, snow, fog, etc.
- surface water such as rivers, streams, glaciers
- biological sources such as plants.
- the sea through desalination
Spring water, a natural resource from which much bottled water comes, is generally imbued with minerals.[10] Tap water, delivered by domestic water systems in developed nations, refers to water piped to homes through a tap. All of these forms of water are commonly drunk, often purified through filtration.[11]
The most efficient way to transport and deliver potable water is through pipes. However, this can require significant capital investment in providing the infrastructure. Systems with high operating costs may fall into disrepair in both developed and undeveloped countries. The cost to replace the deteriorating water and sanitation infrastructure of industrialized countries may be as high as $200 billion a year. Leakage of untreated and treated water from pipes reduces access to water. Leakage rates of 50% are not uncommon in urban systems [12]
Because of the high initial investments, many less wealthy nations cannot afford to develop or sustain appropriate infrastructure and as a consequence people in these areas may pay a much higher percentage of their income on water. [13] 2003 statistics from El Salvador, for example, indicate that the poorest 20% of households spend more than 10% of their total income on water. In the United Kingdom authorities define spending of more than 3% of one's income on water as a hardship.[14]
The Millennium Development Goal of halving the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water between 1990 and 2015 will probably be reached. Although some countries still face enormous challenges. [15]
Rural communities are the furthest from meeting the 2015 MDGs drinking water target. Globally only 27% of the rural population has water piped directly to their home and 24% rely on unimproved sources. Of the 884 million people without access to an improved water source, 746 million people (84%) live in rural areas. Sub-Saharan Africa has made the least progress in improved water sources since 1990, improving only 9% to 2006. In contrast, the Eastern Asian region saw a dramatic drop from 45% to 9% reliance on unimproved water in the same time period.[16]

Water quality - percent of population using improved water sources by country
In the U.S, the typical non-conserving single family home uses 69.3 gallons of water per capita per day. In some parts of the country there are water supplies that are dangerously low due to drought, particularly in the West and the South East region of the U.S.[18].
Main article: Fluid balance
Water is necessary for most life on Earth. Humans can survive for several weeks without food, but for only a few days without water. The exact amount of water a human needs is highly individual, as it depends on the condition of the subject, the amount of physical exercise, and on the environmental temperature and humidity.[19] In the US, the reference daily intake (RDI) for water is 3.7 litres per day for human males older than 18, and 2.7 litres for human females older than 18[20] including water contained in food, beverages, and drinking water. It is a common misconception that everyone should drink two litres (68 ounces, or about eight 8-oz glasses) of water per day and is not supported by scientific research. Various reviews of all the scientific literature on the topic performed in 2002 and 2008 could not find any solid scientific evidence that recommended drinking eight glasses of water per day.[21] [22] [23] For example, people in hotter climates will require greater water intake than those in cooler climates. An individual's thirst provides a better guide for how much water they require rather than a specific, fixed number. A more flexible guideline is that a normal person should urinate 4 times per day, and the urine should be a light yellow color.
A constant supply is needed to replenish the fluids lost through normal physiological activities, such as respiration, perspiration and urination. Food contributes 0.5 to 1 litre, and the metabolism of protein, fat, and carbohydrates produces another 0.25 to 0.4 litres[24], which means that 2 to 3 litres of water for men and 1 to 2 litres of water for women should be taken in as fluid in order to meet the RDI. In terms of mineral nutrients intake, it is unclear what the drinking water contribution is. However, inorganic minerals generally enter surface water and ground water via storm water runoff or through the Earth's crust. Treatment processes also lead to the presence of some mineral nutrients. Examples include fluoride, calcium, zinc, manganese, phosphate, and sodium compounds.[25] Water generated from the biochemical metabolism of nutrients provides a significant proportion of the daily water requirements for some arthropods and desert animals, but provides only a small fraction of a human's necessary intake. There are a variety of trace elements present in virtually all potable water, some of which play a role in metabolism. For example sodium, potassium and chloride are common chemicals found in small quantities in most waters, and these elements play a role (not necessarily major) in body metabolism. Other elements such as fluoride, while beneficial in low concentrations, can cause dental problems and other issues when present at high levels. Water is essential for the growth and maintenance of our bodies, as it is involved in a number of biological processes.
Profuse sweating can increase the need for electrolyte (salt) replacement. Water intoxication (which results in hyponatremia), the process of consuming too much water too quickly, can be fatal.
The human kidneys will normally adjust to varying levels of water intake. The kidneys will require time to adjust to the new water intake level. This can cause someone who drinks a lot of water to become dehydrated more easily than someone who routinely drinks less. Survival classes recommend that someone who expects to be in an environment with little water (such as a desert), not to drink water excessively, but rather to drink gradually decreasing amounts for several days before their trip to accustom the kidneys to making concentrated urine. Not using this method can, and has been known to be fatal.[26]
Indicators of safe drinking water
Access to safe drinking water is indicated by the number of people using proper sanitary sources. These improved drinking water sources include household connection, public standpipe, borehole condition, protected dug well, protected spring, and rain water collection. Sources that don't encourage improved drinking water to the same extent as previously mentioned include: unprotected well, unprotected spring, rivers or ponds, vender-provided water, bottled water (consequential of limitations in quantity, not quality of water), and tanker truck water. Access to sanitary water comes hand in hand with access to improved sanitation facilities for excreta. These facilities include connection to public sewer, connection to septic system, pour-flush latrine, and ventilated improved pit latrine. Unimproved sanitation facilities are: public or shared latrine, open pit latrine, or bucket latrine[27].
Diarrhea as a major health effect among children
Diarrheal diseases cause ninety percent of all deaths of children under five years old in developing countries. Malnutrition, especially protein-energy malnutrition, can decrease the children's resistance to infections, including water-related diarrheal diseases. In 2000-2003, 769,000 children under five years old in sub-Saharan Africa died each year from diarrheal diseases. As a result of only thirty-six percent of the population in the sub-Saharan region having access to proper means of sanitation, more than 2000 children's lives are lost every day. In South Asia, 683,000 children under five years old died each year from diarrheal disease from 2000-2003. During the same time period, in developed countries, 700 children under five years old died from diarrheal disease. Improved water supply reduces diarrhea morbidity by twenty-five percent and improvements in drinking water through proper storage in the home and chlorination reduces diarrhea episodes by thirty-nine percent.[28]
Improving the Availability of Drinking Water
Solar water disinfection application in Indonesia One of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set by the UN includes environmental sustainability. In 2004, only forty-two percent of people in rural areas had access to clean water.[29].
Solar water disinfection is a low-cost method of purifying water that can often be implemented with locally available materials.[30][31][32][33] Unlike methods that rely on firewood, it has low impact on the environment.
One program developed to help people gain access to safe drinking water is the Water Aid program. Working in 17 countries to help provide water, Water Aid international is helping the sanitation and hygiene education to some of the world's poorest people.[10]
The Global Framework for Action (GF4A) is an organization that brings together stakeholders, national governments, donors and NGOs (such as Water aid) to define manageable targets and deadlines. 23 Countries are off-track to meet the MDG goals for improved water availability. [34]
However, not all efforts to increase availability of safe drinking water have been effective, and some have been damaging. The 1980s was declared the International Decade of water by the UN. However, the assumption was made that groundwater is inherently safer than water from rivers, ponds and canals. While instances of cholera, typhoid and diarrhea were reduced toxic level of fluoride were found. Borehole wells were either not tested or not tested thoroughly. Fluoride slowly dissolved from the granite rocks underneath India and slowly poisoned the population, particularly evident in the bone deformations of children. [35]. Further, in Bangladesh, it is estimated that half of the countries 12 million tube wells have unacceptable levels of arsenic due to the wells not being dug deep enough (past 100 M). The Bangladeshi government had spent less than $7 million of the 34 million allocated for solving the problem by the World Bank in 1998. [36] [37]. Natural arsenic poisoning is a global threat, 140 million people affected in 70 countries on all continents. [38] These examples illustrate the need to examine each location on a case by case basis and not assume what works in one area will work in another.
In Education
In Britain, many schools have poor provision of drinking water to pupils through the day. Studies have been made upon the effect of increasing the provision of water and significant improvements in test scores have been observed. Areas such as Brighton have introduced a Schools Water Policy to ensure an adequate intake of 1.5 to 1.75 litres for 5-10 year olds.[39]
Drinking Water Regulation
European Union
The EU sets legislation on drinking water quality in addition to factors such as how, where and when water can be extracted from the environment. Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy, known as the water framework directive, is the primary piece of legislation governing drinking water.[40]
Each member state is responsible for establishing the required policing measures to ensure that the legislation is implemented. For example, in the UK the Drinking Water Inspectorate polices the water companies.
United States of America
Main article: Drinking water quality in the United States
In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets standards for tap and public water systems under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).[41] The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates bottled water as a food product under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA).[42] Bottled water is not necessarily more pure, or more tested, than public tap water.[43] However, there is evidence that the United States federal regulations of drinking water do not ensure safe water, as some of the regulations have not been updated with more recent science. Dr. Peter W. Pruess, who became the head of the U.S. EPA's division analyzing environmental risks in 2004, has been "particularly concerned", and has faced controversy in studies which suggest that regulations against certain chemicals should be tightened.[44]
Standard Potability Testing
A standard testing of water's potability consists of drawing a sample from a known property or water source, providing State Certified Nitrate/Nitrogen and Coliform Bacteria Testing, along with E.Coli testing (FHA/VA). It also means providing testing for Total Dissolved Solids, Water Hardness, pH, and Iron Content Testing. A Certified Laboratory must provide proper operation of all Water Softening and Filtration Systems, and provide written results of the above testing with a standardized time frame (2 weeks general).
Bottled Water
Main article: Bottled water
Drinking water of a variety of qualities is bottled and sold for public consumption throughout the world. Trends in sales and consumption of bottled water have risen significantly in the last two decades in both developed and developing countries.
Drinking Water Preferences of Animals
The qualitative and quantitative aspects of drinking water requirements of domesticated animals are studied and described within the context of animal husbandry. However, relatively few studies have been focused on the drinking behavior of wild animals. A recent study has shown, e.g., that feral pigeons do not discriminate drinking water according to its content of methabolic wastes, such as uric acid or urea (mimicking faeces- or urine-pollution by birds or mammals respectively).

After PA president demands prisoner release, construction freeze and borders discussion to extend talks, Israeli official accuses him of recycling conditions he knows Israel won't accept.
News agencies
Published: 04.26.14, 19:57 / Israel News
News agencies
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas gave the "coup de grace" to the peace process in his speech Saturday to PLO leadership,
an Israeli official in statement.
In his speech in Ramallah, Abbas reiterated his readiness to extend peace talks but on condition that the Israeli government released prisoners, froze settlement construction and agreed to discuss the borders of a future Palestinian state.
He also stressed he would never recognize Israel as a "Jewish state."
"We will never agree to recognize a Jewish state," he said, recalling that the Palestinians had recognized the State of Israel in 1993. Abbas noted that this request had not been made to Egypt or Jordan when these countries signed peace agreements with Israel.
"Abbas was recycling previous terms he knows Israel has not accepted, after he had, time and again in the past month, refused to move forward in the negotiations," the Israeli official said in a brief statement. "Today he administered the coup de grace to the peace process," he added.
Related stories:
Israel suspended the troubled, US-sponsored negotiations with Abbas on Thursday after he signed a unity pact with rival Islamist group Hamas – a movement which has sworn to destroy Israel. Meanwhile the United States said it would reconsider $500 million in annual security and budget aid to the Palestinians.
Commentators said the discussions had already hit a brick wall and the United States had been struggling to extend them beyond the original April 29 deadline for a peace accord.
Abbas, for the first time since the suspension, said he was still open to re-starting the talks and pushing on beyond the deadline. There was no immediate response from Israeli negotiators.
"How can we restart the talks? There's no obstacle to us restarting the talks, but the 30 prisoners need to be released," Abbas told a meeting of senior leaders in the Palestine Liberation Organization at his presidential headquarters in the West Bank city of Ramallah, in a speech broadcasted live in Hamas state television as well.
"On the table we will present our map, for 3 months we'll discuss our map. In that period, until the map is agreed upon, all settlement activity must cease completely," he told the officials, who were gathered for a two-day conference of the Palestinian Central Council, a top decision-making body, to asses the Palestinian strategy to achieve statehood.
He also noted the new unity government with Hamas would deal with internal Palestinian matters, and that the diplomatic negotiations with Israel will be done by the PLO only, and not include the Islamic terrorist organization.
"The (new) government will be in charge of what happens inside the Palestinian territories," he said. The PLO is internationally recognized as the "sole representative of the Palestinian people" and, as such, is the only one that can negotiate on the Palestinians' behalf.
"(The unity government's) purview will be what happens domestically. I recognize Israel and it would recognize Israel. I reject violence and terrorism and I respect international commitments," he assured.
The deal between Hamas and Abbas's Fatah party envisions agreement on a government of independent technocrats within five weeks and holding elections at least six months later. The Palestinian split came in 2007 when Hamas seized Gaza, and reconciliation efforts failed.
This reconciliation has infuriated Israel, which - along with the United States and European Union - considers Hamas a terrorist group.
"Our goal is the form a Palestinian state in the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. We are continuing on the path to this goal and we haven't given up on it. There will be no Palestinian state without East Jerusalem as its capital. We want to achieve our rights through negotiations," Abbas told PLO leaders at the conference, adding that any accord will be brought to a referandum that would include Palestinian refugees as well.
He stated that while the Palestinians have not given up on the "right of return," they've offered the possibility of compensation to any Palestinian refugee who is interested in that as an alternative.
Talks veered toward collapse after Israel failed to release a final group of Palestinian prisoners it had pledged to free in March, and after Abbas signed several international treaties - a move that Israel said was a unilateral move towards statehood.
Palestinians accused Israel of not focusing enough during the last nine months of negotiations on drawing future borders between Israel and a future state of Palestine, and they denounced the expansion of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Israel accuses Abbas of being more interested in healing the national rift with Hamas than achieving a peace deal.

I decided to post a finished map thread for this piece, as that would insure for certain that I wouldn't tool around with it anymore and get to working on a new map.
This was a small battlemap I designed for a wilderness encounter in a D&D game, located in a waterfall-fed pool. Long after using it in the game I kept revisiting the colors and features of the map to satisfy some strange OCD urge inside. No more I say.
So here is the final version of the Moonless Falls

Thanks for everyone who provided input while making this map. Particularly with the coloration.

A photo of Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel signing photos was revealed on Twitter on Monday to provide "proof" that the Heisman winner signed items for an autograph broker.
On Sunday, ESPN's Outside the Lines reported that Manziel is being investigated by the NCAA for allegedly being paid to sign items for a ticker broker.
It is not an NCAA violation for players to sign autographs. They just can't receive compensation for signing items.
Manziel signed items for Drew Tieman while at the BCS National Championship Game in Miami in January, according to the report. Witnesses told Outside the Lines they saw Manziel signing items for Tieman, but no one says they saw Manziel receive payment for the autographs. The report alleges Manziel agreed to a flat five-figure fee for the signings.

Ponchatoula Woman Pleads Guilty to Defrauding American Red Cross
|U.S. Attorney's Office November 23, 2010
NEW ORLEANS, LA—WANDA C. BAHAM, age 33, a resident of Ponchatoula, Louisiana, pled guilty in federal court today before U.S. District Judge Jay C. Zainey to one count of wire fraud relating to fraudulent applications for financial assistance that she submitted to the American Red Cross between September 2005 and December 2005, announced U.S. Attorney Jim Letten.
According to court documents, BAHAM applied for and received disaster assistance funds from the American Red Cross on approximately 11 occasions. The Red Cross made disaster assistance money of up to $1,565 available to those affected by the hurricanes of 2005 on a one-time only basis. BAHAM repeatedly applied for these funds throughout the early fall of 2005, indicating that she had not yet received any money at all from the Red Cross. In all, BAHAM was provided $12,220 from the American Red Cross, of which approximately $10,655 was fraudulently obtained.
Upon sentencing, scheduled for February 22, 2010, BAHAM faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years, a $250,000 fine, restitution to the American Red Cross, and three years of supervised release following imprisonment.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The prosecution is being handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter M. Thomson.

Culture Jamming: A Long View Back - A Panel Discussion With John And Leni Sinclair, Pun Plamondon, David Fenton, and Genie Parker At The Michigan Union - Pendleton Room
Saturday December 10, 2011: 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm
Panelists John and Leni Sinclair, Pun Plamondon, David Fenton, and Genie Parker--all members of Ann Arbor's White Panthers and Rainbow People's Party--participate in this panel discussion which is part of the of 'Freeing John Sinclair: The Day Legends Came to Town,' a series of events celebrating the launch of AADL's Freeing John Sinclair website (available at aadl.org beginning on Friday, December 9), marking the 40th anniversary of the John Sinclair Freedom Rally that took place in Ann Arbor on December 10, 1971.
These five panelists were central to many of the actions and ideals surrounding Ann Arbor's late-1960s counter-culture. For this event, they'll reflect on what they called their "total assault on culture" during the late 1960s and early 1970s - what worked, what didn't, and what it means today.
The panel will be moderated by Professor Bruce Conforth of the University of Michigan Program in of American Culture. This special event will be held in Pendleton Room of the Michigan Union, 530 S. State Street on the UM Campus.

|Edmonds wins first nat'l championship
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
|Tuesday, 10 April 2012 20:32
HHS senior Mark Edmonds won his first national wrestling tournament championship when he was named champion in the April 7 Midwest Classic Nationals in Kearney, Neb.
Held at the Buffalo County Fairgrounds in Kearney, the Midwest Classic featured 16 mats and over 700 high school wrestlers.
Edmonds drew a first-round bye in his 132-lb. competition, then won four straight to take the championship.
He pinned Jesse Lammers of Cedar Valley in 2:19, won a 5-1 decision over Seth Nehls of Kearney High, pinned Skyler Teten of Syracuse in :46 and won a 5-3 decision over Isaac Elge of Nebraska Christian in the championship.
Edmonds was coached by Allen Strong of Holyoke.
The three-time state champion in Colorado wrestling entered the Midwest Classic Nationals with determination. He had placed third the last three years and was determined to win this year.
It was a great way to finish in his last high school wrestling tournament.
Senior Nationals in Virginia Beach, Va. March 28-April 1 proved quite disappointing for the Dragon standout.
In his first-round match, Edmonds drew Cole Mendenhall, a four-time state champion in Montana, who is ranked 9th in the U.S. Mendenhall defeated Edmonds and went on to place second in the senior nationals tourney.
Edmonds then faced Ace Michael of Arkansas. Edmonds was beating Michael 2-1 when Michael scored two in the last 10 seconds to take the win. Michael also placed in the senior nationals.
Edmonds now looks forward to wrestling for Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pa. after graduating from HHS this May.

When General Motors holds its annual meeting on June 10, one of its director nominees will stand out from the cast of retired CEOs and accounting professors who typically work on corporate boards. GM announced Friday that it is nominating Joe Ashton, a vice president of the United Auto Workers, to be a director for the embattled company. If elected, he will become the first union representative to have ever served on GM's board.
Ashton, who joined the UAW in 1969, has held several leadership roles for the union and has been its chief GM negotiator. He was selected by the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust, which owns about 140 million GM shares and is currently the company's largest shareholder. The trust gained the right to designate someone as a director, which the board can then vet and approve, as a result of the 2009 stockholders agreement that came out of the company's bankruptcy.
Naming a union representative to a corporate board of directors is unusual not just for General Motors. Experts on corporate governance say it's highly atypical for any U.S. publicly traded company.
"We're talking about a tiny, tiny fraction of American firms that have ever done that," says Michael Useem, a management professor at Wharton and co-author of the recent book Boards that Lead.
That's because in the United States, corporate boards operate under a theory of "shareholder primacy," which holds that the board has a fiduciary duty to put the interests of shareholders first. If board members are representatives of a union, the concern is that they could have a conflict of interest between what is best for employees and what is best for shareholders.
Generally, if a company puts a union representative on a board, says corporate governance expert Charles Elson, "it puts them into a very different position where they could be forced to choose loyalties." How will they vote if management believes a plant closure or round of layoffs is essential for long-term shareholder value?
Or as Pace University business professor John Alan James puts it: "Why would you want a fox in the henhouse?"
In some countries in Europe — such as Germany, Austria and Switzerland — they're not just wanted, they're required. In these countries, companies follow a stakeholder model of governance that includes two boards instead of one. One controls the management of the firm; the other acts in a supervisory capacity and is legally required to include employee representatives. This board, which is about half composed of employees, has control over things such as approving strategy and audited financial statements, says David Larcker, the director of the Corporate Governance Research Program at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. "It's an explicit extra check," he says. "They have a not inconsiderable impact on decision making."
Yet even though union representation is rare in America, it has happened before. UAW leader Douglas Fraser was nominated to Chrysler's board in 1980 by Lee Iacocca after his critical role in lobbying for legislation that provided the federally guaranteed loans that let Chrysler avert bankruptcy. He served on the board for four years, and is remembered for both protecting employee interests as well as extracting needed concessions from them. In his 2008 obituary, the New York Times wrote that in addition to a deal at Chrysler that cut workers' wages by $3 an hour, he also agreed to deals at GM and Ford Motor that froze wages and cost-of-living raises temporarily.
How Ashton would balance that tug between his long history as a union leader and his responsibilities as a corporate director remains to be seen. GM spokesman Dave Roman said in an interview that Ashton will resign from the UAW in June and will have to adhere to all of the corporate governance guidelines to which the company's directors are subject.
"Our board felt confident in accepting [the trust's] designate in Joe and what he can bring to the board," Roman said. "They wouldn't have accepted if they didn't think he would uphold all the requirements." In a press release, GM chairman Tim Solso said Ashton brings "his deep understanding how labor strategy can contribute to a company's success."
That could very well be an asset for GM in more ways than one. Certainly, Solso will need to work hard to bring Ashton into the flow of the boardroom, says Wharton's Useem, and make sure he's comfortable enough that he can help influence his fellow directors rather than play the role of outsider.
If that happens, Ashton could have an impact not only on how the company addresses labor issues, but how it thinks about employees and its customer base at large.
"One of the great debates of our era now is rising income inequality, the disappearance of the middle class, and the flattening of blue collar wages," Useem says. "Every leader ought to be concerned about this. Having someone in the room who is very informed could be very helpful — not just in being forceful about wages, but in what people are thinking about when they're working on the front lines of a company."

When you read Up in Smoke, did you think "No employer is going to delve into my personal life!" or "It's about time employers insisted on healthy workers!"
Do you think tobacco-free hiring practices are a slippery slope that will lead to other exclusions, or an uphill climb toward a healthier society and reduced healthcare costs?
Whichever side of the debate you fall on, we want to hear your thoughts and comments!
I agree with the policies of having a smoke-free environment in the workplace and not allowing smoking inside of facilites and even outside on the grounds. This provides a healthy work environment for everyone. But I feel not hiring people who smoke (on their own time and at home or away from the facility) goes too far and is discriminatory. Once it becomes acceptible to discriminate against smokers, will diabetics be next in line to be denied a position? Will employees' blood sugars be tested and those above 100 be denied a job? What about hypertension? Will employees have to have a blood pressure below 140/90 to be hired? Because hypertension can lead to heart disease, stroke and renal disease which may increase employers' health insurance costs. Where will this end? Will we become like the world portrayed in the science fiction film "Gattica" where only the most perfect are hired for the decent jobs? I am concerned about this trend.
Just like the acceptance and legalization of abortion 37 years ago has led to the acceptance of embryo/fetus killing practices of embryonic stem cell research, using aborted fetal tissue in developing vaccines, embryo reduction in the cases of multiple pregnancy and elimination of down syndrome fetuses after they are detected by tests, I am afraid that acceptance of denying smokers positions in healthcare will usher in more devaluation of individuals based on various characteristics. History has taught us that no one is safe from discrimination once we open the door to judging others as less valuable and a monetary drain on health insurance and society.

Celebrations Continue for Team as Shaharom, Taniguchi & Yanagida Collect 2010 BMW Sports Award
DRIVER UPDATE : Imran Shahrom : Formula BMW Pacific
Barely a week after successfully taking their third consecutive Super Taikyu Endurance Series title, the trio of Nobuteru Taniguchi (JPN), Masataka Yanagida (JPN) and Malaysian Imran Shaharom were given recognition for their impressive form this season at the recent 2010 BMW Sports Award in Munich, Germany.
The team's Japanese duo of Masataka Yanagida and Nobuteru Taniguchi got the 2010 campaign off to a strong start following their class win (A5 Petrol Class) and 2nd place overall at the 24Hours of Dubai in January. Joined by Malaysian rookie Imran Shaharom, the trio followed this up with the overall series title in the Japanese Super Taikyu Endurance Series ten months later.
Yanagida and Taniguchi's impressive form was enough to earn the pair 367.64 points and joint second at the annual sports award by the German auto-manufacturer. Meanwhile, in recognition of his efforts in taking the 2010 Super Taikyu Endurance Series title, 22-year old Imran Shaharom also became the first Malaysian driver to make the BMW Sports Award rankings in 20th position with 291.50 points.
Imran Shaharom (MAS): "It has been a truly amazing season! Taking the overall crown at the 2010 Super Taikyu Endurance Series was a truly incredible experience for me and to be here in Munich to represent both the PETRONAS Syntium Team and Malaysia is amazing! I am extremely grateful to David Wong, the team management; our team partners PETRONAS for giving me this wonderful opportunity to be a part of a great team!"

Big Show wins Andre match
In a match that was better scripted than the Royal Rumble, Big Show won the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal in the second and final match of the Wrestlemania kickoff show. Lots of excellent spots. Damien Sandow finally turned on Miz, but he was unable to overcome the Big Show to win the entire thing. Sandow was booked strong, but the audience was clearly disappointed when he was the last man eliminated.

Usos vs Miz and Sandow
In the second match at the Royal Rumble, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso were able to retain the WWE tag team championship after pinning the Miz, who was knocked out by a flying splash. The commentators were instructed to sell the fact that the former world heavyweight champion had to do things on his own because Damien Sandow was on the arena floor. The belief is that the dissension story line is going to be picking up steam between the two.
January 25, 2015
Usos win titles
As many of you witnessed on Monday Night Raw this week, the Usos became the WWE tag team champions again. However, do not expect a very lengthy reign by Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso. The idea here is to set up further friction with The Miz and Damien Sandow, with the possibility that Naomi will end up costing her husband and brother in law the belts down the line. The title change could possibly happen as soon as the Royal Rumble next month.
December 30, 2014
Sandow in Royal Rumble
If you watch Monday Night Raw and Smackdown on a weekly basis, then you already know that the audience has been absolutely in love with Damien Sandow and his stunt man gimmick. WWE is aware of this as well, and they're hoping that he can become one of the more entertaining aspects of the Royal Rumble match next month. There is a lot of comedic potential in an environment like that, especially since he would have to imitate Miz throughout.

Who Are We?
Broken Records started as a recording studio on Staten Island,NY on 6/6/06 by Scott Vollweiler. All the local studios were way too overpriced and didn't cater to the unsigned and underground bands. Scott opened the studio because of the lack of quality in local studios. "I hated paying these studios my hard earned money, and I got some of the worst recordings of my career. I've been saying for a long time: I can get better quality out of my room studio." So that's what he did. He created a studio that sounds professional but at a price anyone could afford.Later on, Scott brought in Brian, his long time friend and former band mate from their successful band, DaRk DaZe, but he would eventually move on.
Fast forward, using their connections from playing shows with Staind, Sevendust, Saliva, Three Days Grace, Life of Agony, Lacuna Coil, Ill Nino, Smile Empty Soul, Vanilla Ice and many other high profile artists, and befriending others on the way, Scott and Brian decided to manage a magazine for everyone of all ages to read that covered their favorite bands while giving local and unsigned acts the chance to be in a magazine with today's biggest bands. Broken Records Magazine is here to help the local scene, it's all about you and the love of music. We are offering the chance of a life time to local bands.
In addition to the studio and the magazine, Broken Records Photography quickly grew out of the magazine. They quickly were building a resume of artists that they shot for and publications around the world quickly took notice. We place our photos, period. We also shoot events like Fashion shows, Red Carpets and your Sweet 16's, Weddings, etc.
