So. AoAA. Started off as a br00t4l deathcore band and released a terrible EP that had potential. They capitalised on this potential and made a fun little album full of breakdowns, pig squeals and gang shouts. Then they decided to "mature" and make straightforward death metal a la Job For A Cowboy. The latter, titled "II: The Reign of Darkness" was well received by critics and metalheads alike. History lesson over.
As a fan of both full-lengths, I was excited when I heard about them making an EP. When I first heard Stage Breaker, my jaw dropped. It started off with your typical breakdown taken directly from an Emmure album (Any of them. They all the sound the same). Nonetheless, they assured me and everyone else who was disappointed that it was the least breakdown-oriented track, so I remained excited, albeit, not as much. When I finally got the whole thing, I was shocked, in the bad way.
This is ultra cliched boring as fuck deathcore. The EP begins with Buried In A Bad Rep. It trundles along at snail pace. The much despised inhaled slurping from the very first EP is back, albeit not used quite as much as on that release. The main vocal style here is hardcore shouting. That's right. Regan now sounds like Jamey Jasta on a 20 a day habit. Halfway through, we are treated to a gang shout. "So suck my fucking dick". How nice.
The rest of the EP is much of the same. Reznov (which I believe is named after a Call of Duty character) features generic deathcore buildup4abreakdown structure, Dark Days is some kind of attempt at a sludgy track, but it fails so miserably and Stage Breaker only consists of breakdowns and lyrics about how much Regan hates the world.
AoAA don't help their case by being so butthurt about the bad reviews. Claiming not to have enjoyed the death metal scene and much preferred the hXc-dancing br00t4l kiddie scene, it seems they're trying too hard to fit in with different crowds. What's next? Trying to appeal to the NME crowd and going indie? The end result is "Disappointment of the Year 2011". Absolute shit.

Hi Smokerscat. Check your inbox, I sent you a PM.
So I have been have having migraines for quite a while now. They can be controlled for a while then the medicine quits working. I am mixing up my words more and more. So they did an MRI 2 wks ago which the radiolgist was kind of backed up so it took a while to get them read. My Rheumy calls me up and tells me that the MRi that was done in 2006 that I might add I WAS TOLD WAS COMPLETELY NORMAL was compared to to 2010 MRI report and they told me the radiologist recommended then in 2006 I should see a neurologist ASAP as there was an abnormality in my brain. But yet my dr. which I don;t see any more thank god told me nothing was wrong it was all in my head. So now I am being scheduled with a neurologist at the university of washington. I am so mad right now. So rheumy on the phone says u didn't know about the abnormal MRI? I said absolutely not. noone told me in fact they told me nothing was wrong. He told me to find a lawyer. I am so scared I don't know whats going on. I went shopping to at safeway to get some garlic bread for dinner last night and got a weird smell like burnig rubber and asked my hubby if he smelled it he he said he didn't. Shortly after that smell the back of my head hurt so bad I started bawling in safeway. Hubby loaded me in car and took me to ER. The Dr also looked at both MRI and agreed something is not right and suspects MS. Just what I need SLE and MS. I know that there are people on here with both, how do u cope? and Rob if you read this will you contact me? Scared and in need of support and friends... thanks for listening!!

How awful to find out something so many years after the fact. You could have gotten a jump on whatever is going on. Keep us posted on how things are going with the tests.
I hope that things will work out for you and finally get the right diagnosis. That doctor should be reported to the American Medical Society. I will put you on my prayer list . Keep us informed. Love Bonita
My MRI showed an anomaly in my brain in 1998. It's been there for the majority of my life. Try to stay calm until you know exactly what's wrong. then listen and decide what is going to happen next
let us all know how you go on
Hugs and prayers are with you
(((HUGS))) and gentle head rubs. I am amazed at how easily doctors "forget" to tell us that there was anything wrong with test and lab results and I am sorry to hear that this might be a mistake that, if not made, might have helped your health years ago. I know it's not easy to do (and I am honestly doing it now too) but take Nonna's advice and try to stay calm until you find out what there is to be upset about. When is your appointment with the neurologist scheduled for?
As long as this body works, I am going to enjoy life to the fullest for each second of every moment that I can.
So sorry that you found out about this years after the fact. I know you're worried beyond belief, but try not to stress yourself in to a flare while waiting for your neuro appointment. Please keep us updated on how you're doing and how the appointment goes.
hi smokerscat,
i am so sorry about all of this....my mouth dropped open when i read your post. Gentle hugs are being sent to you.
your story is true testimony to the importance of us getting our personal copies of all tests....
hope you are feeling better...please keep us posted.
share a smile today
Hi Smokerscat,
Just wondering how you are doing. Say hello when you can.

Girl In Iceland Can't Use Her Real Name
One of the freedoms we as Americans take for granted is the ability to name our children whatever we want. In some countries in the world there are name restrictions–names you can't name your children. Iceland is one of those countries.
This story on Yahoo caused me to scratch my head "Icelandic girl fights for right to her own name"
Seems this girl "Blaer" can't use her name because…
"Blaer, which means "light breeze" in Icelandic, is not on a list approved by the government. Like a handful of other countries, including Germany and Denmark, Iceland has official rules about what a baby can be named. In a country comfortable with a firm state role, most people don't question the Personal Names Register, a list of 1,712 male names and 1,853 female names that fit Icelandic grammar and pronunciation rules and that officials maintain will protect children from embarrassment. Parents can take from the list or apply to a special committee that has the power to say yea or nay.
In Blaer's case, her mother said she learned the name wasn't on the register only after the priest who baptized the child later informed her he had mistakenly allowed it. "I had no idea that the name wasn't on the list, the famous list of names that you can choose from," said Bjork Eidsdottir, adding she knew a Blaer whose name was accepted in 1973. This time, the panel turned it down on the grounds that the word Blaer takes a masculine article, despite the fact that it was used for a female character in a novel by Iceland's revered Nobel Prize-winning author Halldor Laxness."
So now Blaer is prepared to take her case all the way to the country's Supreme Court if a court doesn't overturn the commission decision on Jan. 25. Good luck Blaer! She could always just move to the USA….

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
We are in the miltary and I have known her almost a year.
Since she's been in the military for less than a year.
I can be over zealous. When I care about someone it bothers me to see others approach her with bad intentions knowing they see flesh and not the heart as I do. i had other things going on as well and I think that was just another reason I gave myself to act out. Past relationships also came to mind as well. i trusted her but not others including friends to respect her. She told me that she can handle them and that its her job out of respect for me to put them in their place.
I'm 25 and she will be 21 in December.
In other relationships I have not been there like I needed to be. I have given much to others, always helping but I now realize that I didn't keep home 1st.
She feels a little turned off by my actions but still loves me very much. Thrown off by my actions. As far as trying to brea up I don't know but I do wish to make it right!

Turner rues defensive lapses
Manager Graham Turner felt Shrewsbury were their own worst enemy after seeing his side lose 2-0 at home to Leyton Orient.
Last Updated: 09/03/13 8:36pm
Manager Graham Turner felt Shrewsbury were their own worst enemy after seeing his side lose 2-0 at home to Leyton Orient.
A first-half header from French defender Mathieu Baudry and a Kevin Lisbie penalty early in the second half gave the Londoners the three points.
Turner was disappointed with how his side switched off to allow Baudry to score and was also not pleased with the rash challenge by David McAllister on Romain Vincelot which led to Lisbie's spot-kick.
"We've hit a flat spot and three consecutive defeats is the last thing we wanted at this stage of the season with so much at stake," said Turner.
"You can feel a little bit of tension about us and we've paid a heavy price for that.
"Our defending for the first goal from a set piece was quite poor. We didn't get ourselves set up quickly enough.
"And what kills you dead is the goal five minutes after half time. You can't go into tackles like that. David knows it, he apologised to the players, but it doesn't do us any good now.
"We conceded right after half time at Walsall last week as well and it kills off the inspiration to try and start afresh in the second half.
"We had efforts at goal, one or two trickled wide, but we weren't really convincing."
The Shrews sit just four points clear of the relegation zone and face testing away games at MK Dons and Crewe this week.

Supernatural Japanese horror movies have gained a unique reputation, especially in the wake of breakout successes like Ringu, Ju-On, and their respective American remakes. Synapse's Asian Cult Cinema series has been responsible for bringing a handful of J-horror titles to the U.S., in addition to their loving preservation and restoration of such questionably tasteful classics as Evil Dead Trap, Wild Zero, and Entrails of a Beautiful Woman. Synapse's most recent Asian Cult Cinema release is Gurozuka, a gory Japanese ghost story from 2005, now available for the first time on DVD in North America. Gorozuka does a great job constructing an atmosphere of initial, creeping unease, but its lack of follow-through makes the finished product uneven.
Loosely inspired by the same folk legend that was the basis for Kaneto Shindo's Onibaba, Gurozuka follows a group of female students who go away for a weekend to shoot a movie for their film club. Once they've arrived at their remote destination, the club's two leading conspirators reveal their plan to shoot an unscripted short based on a real incident that occurred several years ago in the same location – an inexplicable tragedy involving two previous members of the same club, one of whom is now dead, and the other institutionalized. The inspiration for the proposed filmic exploration of the tragedy is a mysterious videotape, apparently depicting the doomed club members acting out scenes from a traditional Noh play about a weeping Yokai demon who lures humans into isolation and then kills them. A string of bizarre incidents and disappearances follow, and the girls begin to realize that their lives are in danger, either from a vindictive member of their own party, or from some lurking supernatural force.
Gurozuka has a compelling premise, plus a great auxiliary gimmick – an all-female, mostly teenage ensemble cast. The movie starts off on a dreamlike, spacy note that continues to underscore the action throughout, resulting in a tense and engaging build-up, but unfortunately, a somewhat diffused climax. Rather than the macabre, pathological brutality that the film's opening seems to anticipate, the second half's chase sequences and eruptions of violence are played mainly for shock and petty suspense. The sense of mystery and intrigue never pays off, and the film's conclusion feels like a sloppy attempt to tie together and resolve two largely disparate narrative and tonal threads.
Synapse's presentation of the film is respectable, but nothing fancy. The transfer looks nice, the subtitles are coherent, and there's a trailer and a behind-the-scenes featurette. The movie itself isn't terrible, it's just not the strongest example of its subgenre, and the above-average setup makes the lackluster payoff feel more disappointing than usual.
CRAVEONLINE RATING (Film): 5.5/10

In her new memoir "Crossing My Rainbow Bridge", author Carol Ann Arnim presents a collection of short stories that tell her inspiring story of love and grief and the guide dogs who changed her outlook on life.
Kensington, Prince Edward Island (PRWEB) March 13, 2014
In her new memoir "Crossing My Rainbow Bridge" (published by Balboa Press), author Carol Ann Arnim presents a collection of short stories that tell her inspiring story of love and grief and the guide dogs who changed her outlook on life.
"The inspiration to write my book came from years of family, friends and strangers telling me you ought to write a book," reveals Arnim. "Short story format was the building tool for my memoir which resulted in a collection of stories making a book."
"Crossing My Rainbow Bridge" begins on an oil rig in Alberta where Arnim met the love of her life, Robert. When she finds herself pregnant, the two think it's best to give their son up for adoption. Several years later, Arnim and Robert are finally able to get married and reunite with their son in Arizona.
Tragedy strikes just before their fourth wedding anniversary when Robert dies of lung cancer. Struggling to cope with the staggering grief, Arnim begins to care for five guide dog puppies, but realizes Robert is still with her. Together with Robert's angelic whisperings from the other side, the dogs begin to heal Arnim's broken heart and give her the strength to carry on.
"Crossing My Rainbow Bridge" is Arnim's triumphant story of overcoming loss and facing down seemingly insurmountable challenges. Readers and animal lovers will find inspiration in Arnim's stories and words of encouragement.
Arnim says, "Despite the inevitable and often tragic circumstances of life, a person can rise above and embrace their true essence which will carry one through to the other side and beyond what they could have never imagined while in the midst of their crisis."

Hurricane Sandy: Barack Obama says US election will take care of itself
US president
Barack Obama has admitted his re-election bid is playing second fiddle to the authorities' response to Hurricane Sandy, as he warned Americans to follow instructions during the 'life-threatening' storm.
Sandy is bearing down on the US east coast, with nine states declaring states of emergency and cities such as New York in virtual lockdown.
Mr Obama, who like Republican challenger Mitt Romney has cancelled campaign events due to the storm, told journalists at a White House press conference: 'I'm not worried about the election right now. I'm worried about the impact on families and first responders, the economy and transport.
'The election will take care of itself next week. Right now the number one priority is saving lives, making sure search and rescue teams are in place, and that people get all the food, water and shelter they need.'
The president warned that millions of people will be affected by the hurricane, which is due to make landfall this evening, amid widespread flooding warnings and expected power outages.
'Please listen to what your state and local officials are saying,' Mr Obama said in a message to residents.
'When they tell you to evacuate; you need to evacuate. Don't delay, don't pause, don't question. This is a serious storm that could potentially have fatal consequences.'
Americans go to the polls to elect the next president on November 6.

Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship
Title page of first edition
|Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
|Original title
|Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre
|Philosophical novel
|Johann Friedrich Unger (Berlin)
Publication date
|Preceded by
|Wilhelm Meister's Theatrical Calling (Wilhelm Meisters theatralische Sendung) (1777–1785)
|Followed by
|Wilhelm Meister's Journeyman Years (Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre) (1821–1829)
Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship (German: Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre) is the second novel by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, published in 1795–96.
The eponymous hero undergoes a journey of self-realization. The story centers upon Wilhelm's attempt to escape what he views as the empty life of a bourgeois businessman. After a failed romance with the theater, Wilhelm commits himself to the mysterious Tower Society.
First Book[edit]
|This section's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (March 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
1 When the young actress Mariane arrives home after the show, she finds a white negligee, a gift of her absent lover, the wealthy businessman Norberg. In her heart, however, Mariane loves Wilhelm. He appears and welcomes his mistress in a stormy mood. Old Barbara is not satisfied. Barbara wants her beautiful mistress to stick with the rich Norberg.
2 William's father complains that frequent visits to the theater by his son are a waste of time. Mariane, whose father is a minister, panics at the news that her mother is coming. Barbara is chosen to take Wilhelm to the local pub and keep him there until Mrs. Gruber departs. As the evening drags on, Mariane's mom decides to spend the night.
3 When Mme. Melina accuses Mr. Melina of boring his visiting niece Schanzi, Roper decides to introduce Karen to Wilhelm. Meanwhile, Wilhelm is involved in organizing a birthday celebration for Barbara, so when Roper suggests to Wilhelm that he would like him to take his niece out, Wilhelm refuses.
4 Wilhelm narrates that he had seen a puppet show as a child. When Wilhelm brings home a puppy, Barbara and Mariane remind him that landlord Melina doesn't allow pets on the premises. While the three try to hide the puppy from Mr. Melina, Wilhelm fails in several attempts to give the little pooch away.
5 Jaffe, a large chap, approaches their table to make a rude play for Mariane. His size intimidates Wilhelm. The situation becomes more embarrassing for Wilhelm when the Melinas drop in and Melina, in ill-tempered mood from a toothache, puts Jeff in his place. But Wilhelm feels he may have acted cowardly by avoiding a fight.
6 William talks to Mariane and Barbara about his childhood, the dolls and the theater. Barbara and Mariane, believing a burglar has stolen their rent money frantically try to avoid landlord Melina until they can replace it. After Wilhelm and Barbara find their apartment door unlocked and the cash missing, Mariane arrives and insists that she left the envelope containing the rent money on a shelf.
9 Wilhelm and Mariane convince Barbara that she should try to get the job. But the owner of the shop has other ideas, and hires a girl whose only qualification is her figure. Barbara decides to fight fire with fire, and announces that she's going to have her figure enhanced.
10 Mariane and Barbara go away for the weekend, leaving Wilhelm all alone. Wilhelm throws a big, noisy party, and, when Mr. Melina comes upstairs to complain Wilhelm entices him to join in the revelry. The next morning the girls come back to find the apartment in shambles and Wilhelm in bed with someone. The someone turns out to be Melina, who is mortified to find himself in Wilhelm's bed.
11 Wilhelm and Barbara feel compelled to inform Mariane that the mature sophisticated man she is courting happens to be married. Barbara has already chided Wilhelm about being jealous of Lorenz Crosse who is dining at the apartment with Mariane. Melina's comment that she knows Lloyd's wife, sends the roommates rushing back to their apartment to break up Mariane's romance.
12 Melina goes off on a journey to check out some deserted real estate, leaving Mme. Melina all alone. She convinces Barbara to come stay with her overnight, leaving Mariane and Wilhelm alone. Afraid that Wilhelm can't be trusted Barbara warns Mariane to play down her natural attractiveness. Though Mariane does her utmost to follow Barbara's instructions, appearing in a sloppy gown and hair uncombed, Wilhelm just finds her more appealing as her natural self.
13 Wilhelm learns that Mr. Melina has agreed by letter to sell his 10 year old horse to a dealer. Wilhelm convinces Mariane that they should buy it, since Melina is selling it so cheap. Although Mme. Melina chides him about going back on his word to the dealer, Wagstaff, Melina takes the trio's offer of slightly more cash. The horse leads to nothing but trouble for the two, who can't work out a system of sharing it.
15 Wilhelm and Barbara panic when they discover that Mariane is not home yet from evening out with the girls from the village, and it's three A.M. When Mariane does get home she's in tears because an attractive lad she met at the Fox tavern has mistaken her friendliness for something else.
16 Melina, dejected because a doctor has told him that women don't find him attractive, goes down to the tavern where Wilhelm is filling in as tapster for the evening. A sympathetic Wilhelm promises Joan, a pretty girl at the pub, that he'll take her to dinner the next evening if she'll sit with Melina and feign interest in him to boost his ego.
17 Barbara runs into Peter, a village boy whom she used to have a crush on. She invites him over. Wilhelm and Mariane are amazed at how nervous their usually cool servant is as she waits for Peter to arrive. When they meet him Wilhelm is impressed but Mariane spots him immediately for what he is -a real Don Juan.
Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship depicts the eighteenth-century German reception of William Shakespeare's dramas: the protagonist is introduced to these by the character Jarno, and extensive discussion of Shakespeare's work occurs within the novel's dialogues. Wilhelm and his theater group give a production of Hamlet, in which Wilhelm plays the lead role. Shakespeare's work had begun to be translated into German in the 1740s, and had attained tremendous popularity and influence in Germany by the end of the century.
Goethe's work on the novel began in the 1770s. An early version of the work, unpublished during Goethe's lifetime, was discovered in the early twentieth century, and published under the title Wilhelm Meister's Theatrical Calling (Wilhelm Meisters theatralische Sendung). When the Apprenticeship was completed in the mid-1790s, it was to a great extent through the encouragement and criticism of Goethe's close friend and collaborator Friedrich Schiller that it took its final shape. Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre ("Wilhelm Meister's Journeyman Years"), the sequel to the Apprenticeship, was already planned in the 1790s, but did not appear in its first edition until 1821, and in its final form until 1829.
Further books patterned after this novel have been called Bildungsroman ("novels of formation"), despite the fact that Wilhelm's "Bildung" ("education", or "formation of character") is ironized by the narrator at many points.[1]
According to Andrew Crumey, "while Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship is billed as the classic coming-of-age tale, or Bildungsroman, it's really far more than that: a story of education and disillusionment, a novel of ideas ranging across literature, philosophy and politics, a masterpiece that resists all pigeonholing."[2]
The novel has had a significant impact on European literature. Romantic critic and theorist Friedrich Schlegel judged it to be of comparable importance for its age to the French Revolution and the philosophy of Johann Gottlieb Fichte.
Arthur Schopenhauer cited Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship as one of the four greatest novels ever written.[3]
Schopenhauer also mentions the book in his Aphorismen zur Lebensweisheit.
Arguing against chasing transient pleasures, Schopenhauer says, "Where we were looking for pleasure, happiness and joy, we often find instruction, insight and knowledge, a lasting and real benefit in place of a fleeting one. This idea runs like a bass-note through Goethe's Wilhelm Meister; for this is an intellectual novel and is of a higher order than the rest."[4]
Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship provided the text for many lieder, among others by Beethoven, for example Sehnsucht: Gedicht von Goethe viermal in Musik gesetzt von L. van Beethoven, four settings of "Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt", WoO. 134 (1808), and by Schubert, for example D 877, Gesänge aus Wilhelm Meister, Op. 62 (1826).[5] Schubert set several excerpts more than once:[6]
- "Was hör' ich draußen vor dem Tür" from Book 2, Ch. XI: D 149
- "Wer nie sein Brot mit Tränen aß" from Book 2, Ch. XIII: D 478 No. 2
- "Wer sich der Einsamkeit ergibt" from Book 2, Ch. XIII: D 325 and 478 No. 1
- "Kennst du das Land" from Book 3, Ch. I: D 321
- "Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt" from Book 4, Ch. XI: D 310, 359, 481, 656 and 877 Nos. 1 & 4
- "An die Türen will ich schleichen" from Book 5, Ch. XIV: D. 478 No. 3
- "Heiß mich nicht reden" from Book 5, Ch. XVI: D 726 and 877 No. 2
- "So laßt mich scheinen, bis ich werde" from Book 8, Ch. II: D 469, 727 and 877 No. 3
The 1866 opera Mignon by Ambroise Thomas is based on Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship.
The film The Wrong Move by Wim Wenders is a free adaptation of Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship.

Does NumPy or lapack lite use threads for anything?) I'm working on a Windows application that needs to use both Microsoft DAO and Numeric, & have run into a problem between the two. The following code illustrates the problem: from win32com.client import Dispatch engine = Dispatch("DAO.DBEngine.35") db = engine.OpenDatabase('c:\\test.mdb') from Numeric import array m = array([[1., 2.], [3., 4.]]) y = array([2., 1.]) from LinearAlgebra import linear_least_squares print linear_least_squares(m, y) print 'success!' The problem is that the statement 'print linear_...' never completes. I step through in the debugger under pythonwin, & the lapack routine called by linear_least_squares() never returns. If I remove the statement 'db = engine...' it completes normally. If I make a call to linear_least_squares() *before* the database stuff, the later call to linear_least_squares() works properly. test.mdb is an empty database created by Access 97. Using another database seems to make no difference. I am using: Python 1.52 win32all-132 NumPy 16.1 All are standard distribution builds. OS is Win98SE.

Verint's Voice of the Customer Analytics, which includes speech and text analytics solutions, can provide organizations with early warning signs and pinpoint specific interactions for: -Emotions and sentiment to capture strong negative (and positive) attitudes stemming from consumer comments -Terms that may be trending, including those associated with unfavorable experiences -Complaints by using speech analytics to automatically send alerts and categorize calls for appropriate action, such as evaluation and remediation -Personalized Guidance opportunities by establishing categories that include scripted agent responses to popular and complex issues and other topics According to Pelorus, "Compliance requirements and liability concerns may well be, after technology change, the most powerful driver of new purchases from contact centers that had not previously invested in automated recording technology." The Pelorus research goes on to state that "Compliance is one of the two most important drivers behind enterprise purchases of interaction recording solutions." The Pelorus research also reinforces that the laws and rules with compliance are ever-changing. For example, the United Kingdom requires those engaging in regulated communications record not only fixed line calls, but also calls made from mobile phones. And, "the United States specifies numerous disclosure requirements for financial services businesses. Three large credit card companies have already been assessed fines and penalties over $500 million for violations that occurred in their contact centers... Busy contact center directors can't keep up with this." Verint can help organizations with these compliance challenges by playing back recorded interactions (including screens), reviewing desktop analytics, and even playing back recorded video from ATMs, bank branches and retail stores. Organizations around the globe rely on Verint recording solutions for full-time and compliance recording. Verint offers recording solutions for contact centers and trading rooms of all sizes, whether they use traditional time-division multiplex (TDM) recording, Internet Protocol (IP) recording or both. Its solutions help organizations address compliance, sales verification and dispute resolution challenges.
Says Dick Bucci, principal, Pelorus Associates, "Verint has long been a leader in driving recording and other WFO applications to improve the speed and accuracy of certain back-office work processes." Helping resolve another increasingly common challenge, Verint PCI (Payment Card Industry) and Recording Encryption solutions are designed to help contact centers, trading rooms, payment processing operations and other organizations achieve compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard.

Kiribathgoda Gnanananda Thero (born 1 July 1961) is the founder of Mahamevnawa Buddhist Monastery.
Gnanananda Thero was born to a Roman Catholic family, parented by Cristy Kabraal and Violet Perera. The circumstances that followed his birth were 'miraculous', as the whole family became Buddhists just 6 months after his birth, going so far as to give up their main source of income: 'animal husbandry for meat' (a livelihood advised against by the Buddha).
Opportunity for Buddhist education was therefore available to him from childhood. Ordained on March 26th, 1979 (i.e. at age 17) under Ven. Dambagasare Shri Sumedhankara Thero and Ven. Dikwelle Pannananda Thero at Seruwavila, he received a traditional Buddhist academic education and entered the University of Sri Jayewardenepura.
Having understood the inability to achieve what he wanted in a university, he quit and started visiting meditation centers and hermitages. Having practiced and preached Dhamma for years, he founded Mahamevnawa in 1999 under the guidance of Ven. Kotapola Amarakitti Thero, in Waduwava, Polgahawela.
Mahamevnawa is currently spreading steadily under his guidance (It has around 40 branch monasteries for meditation throughout Sri Lanka, and overseas: Canada, USA, Australia), UK, and Germany. He now teaches Buddhism (Theravada), emphasizing the need to practice it in pure form (i.e. as in the Suttas) and casting off what is not advocated by the Buddha.
"Our Teacher, the Buddha has taught that birth as a human being is, indeed, a very rare achievement. Fortunately, we have now obtained that rare achievement. Yet, we have to remember that man's greatness does not lie either in his nationality, caste, clan or any such feature. His greatness depends solely on his conduct. Man's experiencing of happiness and suffering, too, is related to his three modes of action, namely mental, verbal and physical action. The Buddha devoted all his life to save man from dukkha – suffering. We are followers of the Buddha and our fervent hope is to see a world full of people who are freed from dukkha. Mankind's wonderful treasure of wisdom is the Teaching of the Buddha. This doctrine illuminates our lives bringing happiness and joy. Go in search of this wonderful Dhamma yourself, lead your life accordingly, get rid of your suffering and join that fortunate band of people who experience the Supreme Bliss " — A Message by the Venerable Thero
Thousands of practicing Buddhists are associated with Mahamevnawa. "Maha stupa vandanawa" conducted on the 2nd February, 2008 at Anuradhapura with participation of over 100000 disciples, bears evidence for the popularity his Damma program has achieved in Sri Lanka. The Most Ven Kiribathgoda Gnanananda Thero has written many books based on the teachings of Buddha. These publications are aimed to emphasize uncontaminated Buddhism that can be comprehended by anyone who reads it.
The Most Ven Thero has also commenced a culture in Sri Lanka (traditionally known as Damma Island – Island full of Buddha's Teachings) to preach Buddha's teaching in the national language of Sinhala, even though the teachings are traditionally preached in the Pali language. Many disciples believe that they are now able to preach Buddha's teachings with the right understanding.
"It is a common thing to be the target of criticism and slanders when one becomes a popular figure. I was the target for endless criticism from Sri Lankan monks. It is difficult to develop Buddhism in Sri Lanka….I also started reciting Pirit in Pali mixed with Sinhalese. People did not understand even the meanings of the verses used for the homage to the Buddha. It is useless to recite Pali verses beautifully to the common people who can not understand them. To be honest, people know that most monks do not even live in temples. I wanted to establish a real genuine monastic centre. I wanted to provide a true understanding of the Dhamma to the innocent people, who believed that all their problems could be solved by Bodhi Pujas.

April Wine Featured On 80's At 8 With "Sign Of The Gypsy Queen" [VIDEO]
'April Wine' comes out of Canada and got their name basically because all the band members apparently thought the two words sounded good together.
Two of the original members were the brothers Henman, Ritchie (guitar) and David (drums) and then let's bring another family member in the picture so cousin Jim Henman (bass) joined the group. Okay guys we got a start but we need a singer so they recruited Myles Goodwyn (vocal/guitar).
Jim would leave the band in 1971 and would be replaced with another Jim (Clench).
In 1981 the album,"Nature of the Beast" was released and became popular like overnight and produced the hits, "Just Between You and Me" and "Sign of the Gypsy Queen". The album would reach Multi-Platinum status in Canada and the first of their albums to reach Platinum on the International Market.
What I find interesting is that they have been nominated eleven times for the Juno Award in their home country and never won.
The album line-up:
"All Over Town" 3
"Tellin' Me Lies"
"Sign of the Gypsy Queen"
"Just Between You and Me"
"Wanna Rock"
6. "Caught in the Crossfire"
"Future Tense"
"Big City Girls"
"Crash and Burn"
"Bad Boys"

Phillips, Dalley lament St Mary nurse's murder
ANNOTTO BAY, St Mary:
THE Two Government ministers who oversee the public service last night condemned the murder of nurse Shellion Pinnock-Lafayette as she journeyed home from work at the Annotto Bay Hospital in St Mary Wednesday night.
Pinnock-Lafayette was shot and killed around 11 p.m.
Sources said she was found in her car on the Farmer's Heights road leading from the hospital with two gunshot wounds, one to her face and the other to her neck.
Friends and loved ones were yesterday grieving the loss of a woman they described as jovial and friendly.
Monique Richards said Pinnock-Lafayette was her best friend and confidante and that she was struggling to come to terms with her death.
Dr Peter Phillips, minister of finance and planning, and Horace Dalley, minister with responsibility for the public service, extended condolences to her two young children, family and colleagues.
"This is indeed a sad day for all public-sector workers, particularly those in the health services as they reckon with the slaying of one of their beloved colleagues," the ministers said in a joint release.
"Having spent much of the last several months in negotiating rounds with the Nurses' Association of Jamaica, the slaying of nurse Lafayette will be deeply felt by nurses throughout the health system."
Phillips and Dalley said the country has been robbed of a young, vibrant and true servant of the people and urged the police to move swiftly in their investigation to bring her killers to justice.
Pinnock-Lafayette worked as worked as a vector controller at the Port Maria Hospital for more than 10 year before she left in 2009 to study midwifery. She had been working at the Annotto Bay Hospital since last year.
Tamara Henry-Grant, a friend and colleague of the 32-year-old nurse, lamented that her death could have been avoided if the road had been in better condition.
"The road is very bad and very dark, I mean black, so there is no street light so when she was slowing down for the bad parts of the road very near to her home, that's when the person or persons pounced on her and shot her in her car," Henry-Grant reasoned.

Hello Berries! My cousins have enlisted my help to find a name for their 3rd child due in April! They do not know the sex yet but are already set on a boy name (Christian Michael after family) They already have two girls, Amelia and Bianca. Here's the challenge part. They have RULES for a girl name whereas they have been set with a boy name since their last pregnancy.
1. MUST START WITH C (no exception)
2. MUST END IN A (no exception)
3. MUST BE SIX LETTERS (can be more or less if fits all other categories)
4. MUST BE 3 SYLLABLES. (I disputed this rule because I pointed out that Amelia is 4 syllables which then opened the door for more names but they expressed as close to 3 syllables if possible)
Mom LOVES Clara, but dad is only okay with it even with spelling Claira to fit 3/4 categories. Dad's favorite name is (brace yourselves) Corsica.. which unfortunately hits all 4 categories...
Our entire family LOVES Cordelia and I think my cousins would consider except that Mom has her heart set on Claira but can't budge Dad's mind about Corcia because it fits ALL categories that they agreed upon from the get go.. so hence needing more options.
Names exed already that I have suggested: Celina, Carina, Crysta
Quite the challenge, hope someone is up to it! :)

Less than two years after Solyndra went bankrupt despite a $535 million federal loan guarantee, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz announced Tuesday that he's pushing ahead with a similar loan program as part of President Obama's new plan to combat climate change.
But this time around, the administration is using $8 billion of loan guarantees to develop cleaner fossil-fuel projects that Republicans should, in theory, support.
"If the administration is trying to ameliorate the negative impacts of the regulatory regime, that's always good," said Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-La., in an interview with National Journal Daily on Tuesday. Cassidy, a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the lead GOP challenger to Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., in the 2014 election cycle, was referring to the Environmental Protection Agency rules Obama announced last week would control greenhouse-gas emissions from power plants.
When National Journal Daily noted that Solyndra was awarded its half-million loan guarantee under a similar Energy Department program, Cassidy said he could not comment further because he had not heard about Tuesday's announcement until this interview.
In the wake of Solyndra's bankruptcy in the fall of 2011, Cassidy was part of the universal GOP chorus criticizing the Obama administration.
"What everyone's concerns are is that instead of good business-based analysis driving policy, it was policy and politics and desired outcome driving an analysis," Cassidy said on Fox News in October 2011.
Cassidy's newfound—albeit cautious—support for the Energy Department's loan-guarantee program suggests a politically smart move by the administration: Announce new loan guarantees for only fossil fuels, which Republicans universally support, and move ahead via the Interior Department to develop on public lands more renewable energy, which many Republicans continue to criticize.
Cassidy is sponsoring a bill the Energy and Commerce Committee is expected to mark up next week that would ban EPA from finalizing energy-related regulations that are expected to cost more than $1 billion if the Energy Department determines that the rule would cause "significant adverse effects to the economy." The EPA rules Obama announced last week would likely fall under that category, Cassidy said.
Republicans' response to Tuesday's announcement on loan guarantees for fossil-fuel projects was especially muted, even for a congressional recess week when members are back in their districts. A spokeswoman for House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., indicated Upton and other GOP leaders on the panel were not planning to issue statements.
The spokeswoman did indicate that the committee was cautious about supporting the loan program no matter what: "The DOE loan guarantee program's history of mismanagement, bankruptcies, and failure to deliver the jobs promised raises significant concerns about whether risking an additional $8 billion under this program is the best use of taxpayer dollars at a time when we are $16 trillion in debt."
How much the administration can actually do with the $8 billion in loan-guarantee authority is a big open question. The program itself was created eight years ago during the George W. Bush administration, and it has not yet finalized one loan guarantee.
The $8 billion in loan-guarantee authority announced Tuesday was actually first made available to the fossil-fuel industry in 2009. DOE officials said on a conference call Tuesday that they're expanding the solicitation in hopes of attracting a wider net of cleaner fossil-fuel technologies, such as hydraulic fracturing that doesn't use water, as well as carbon capture and sequestration, an expensive technology to burn coal with far fewer carbon emissions that's been proven in only a few cases throughout the world.
Since its creation in 2005, the loan program has conditionally approved just two projects. Both are nuclear-energy-related and received the conditional support mere months apart in 2010. It's unclear when or whether the government will finalize those loan deals, including one worth $8.3 billion conditionally awarded to Southern Company to build the first nuclear reactor in 30 years.
Some lobbyists speculate that Tuesday's announcement could collect dust similar to Obama's initial call for nuclear-power loan guarantees in 2010.
"I think it's going to be a lot like the nuclear loan guarantees, where nobody is ever going to access them," said one Republican energy lobbyist who would speak on the condition of anonymity only. "No one is ever going to wind up signing them."
It's also unclear whether there is even a market to match the Energy Department's solicitation for loan-guarantee applications, especially within the coal industry. Major utilities are shifting more and more to natural gas because of the low prices of that fuel and also tighter environmental rules on coal plants, including the EPA carbon regulations Obama announced last week.
"We certainly don't have any plans for a coal plant, that's for sure," said Tom Williams, spokesman for Duke Energy, the largest electric utility in the country.

The Fortuna Garden Club was out in full force this past week grooming the flower beds on Main Street while paying special attention to their Blue Star Memorial By-Way in front of the Veterans Memorial Building.
The FGC has grown to 90 members and is very excited for the upcoming holiday season. Co-presidents Mary Lou Lange and Bev Woods are thrilled to be leading such a great group of members.
"We have had a great response this year and our membership is up," past president and now membership chairwoman Janean Guest said.
Claudia Rogers, past president and current newsletter editor, joined the group of ladies who in the recent heat wave were out on Main Street weeding, deadheading, and watering the memorial.
The Blue Star Memorial is a National Garden Club project to honor our military. The local memorial was put in place by FGC in 1993 with the statement on the plaque, "Honoring the Armed Forces of the United States of America."
For more information about the Blue Star projects you can visit the web at www.californiagardenclubs.org.
"We are very grateful for the support from the Main Street businesses that have contributed and help to keep the flower beds going," Lange said. "Diana Mendes started the Main Street flower beds in front of her own business and it has developed into a the beautiful beds we now have supported by those Main Street businesses."
Mark your calendars for the FGC annual Christmas Home Tour and Tea which will take place on Dec. 11 with the theme "Christmas in Candyland." There will be new locations in Scotia for this year's tour.
The FGC is looking for a volunteer who can water the Blue Star Memorial in front of the Fortuna Veterans Building once a week through the warm months. This caring citizen would need to bring their own hose to use on site. In general the span of watering would take place from June to September, but may run a little longer this year due to the warmer days.
For more information about the FGC, to become a member, or to volunteer contact Mary Lou Lange at 725-3446.

THE Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) today promised "a thorough investigation scrutinising police contact and actions" with the members of a Cwmbran family killed in a fire on Tuesday.
Following the fire in Cwmbran in which three members of the same generation died, the case was handed to the IPCC as the family had been in contact with the police prior to the blaze.
IPCC Commissioner Tom Davies said: "This matter was referred to the IPCC on Thursday, 20 September, and given the severity of the incident we have determined an independent investigation should examine the circumstances surrounding Gwent Police's contact with this family.
"Our thoughts and sympathies are extended to the surviving family and friends of those who have tragically died.
"Our enquiry, which is in the very early stages, will be a thorough investigation scrutinising police contact and actions prior to the events on Tuesday morning."
The IPCC hopes to release further detail regarding the independent investigation in due course.

: Embarrassing Moments
I hope there isn't a thread like this already, but I was wondering if anyone wanted to share there most embarrassing moments (: I'll start...
During my Sophmore year in high school everyone had to take a "team building" class during P.E. We would play games to help us 'trust' our classmates. So, one day we did the trust fall. But, this trust fall was on some Gymnastics blocks, so it was like 6 ft. high. We had to stand on the block while two people held our ankles and fall into the arms of six other people. I was the first one to volunteer and when I did this I guess the two people holding my ankles were holding on too tight to my pants. Because, when I fell my pants AND underwear came off -___- and I fell straight to the ground (on a mat). I heard a few people laughing in my class too :P. Ughhh. Then my teacher made me do it again, because they didn't catch me, but they caught him (a 250 lb guy). So, the girl holding me said, "Keep your pants on." (WTH?! She's the one who helped pull them off
.) And they caught me, but when they let me go it was head first
And, I have a lot more haha. Anyone else want to share?

TAMARA Eccelstone turns heads in Dubai on Valentine's Day thanks to a
miniscule purple bikini.
The brunette daughter of Formula One billionaire Bernie soaked up the sun in a
skimpy two-piece on her hols yesterday.
Later in the afternoon she puffed from a relaxing shisha pipe from the comfort
of her sunbed.
The heiress has been topping up her tan on the exotic break and showed off her
bronzed skin as she cooled off in the sea.
The 28-year-old has been in the Middle East with pals including her brand
manager Scott Harvey-Nicholls.
Despite spending Valentine's Day with the handsome businessman, the heiress
insists she is still single since splitting from Omar Khyami in the summer.
She dumped the 38-year-old after discovering he had filmed a sleazy sex tape
with another girl when they were together.
She said: "There's no men in my life at the moment. I'm not looking for love
but if it happens, it happens, and that would be nice. It happens when you
least expect it.
"I've always been in long-term relationships and this is the first time I've
lived alone and been single and it's actually good to be able to be alone.
"I'm not looking, but I'm not adverse to the idea. I'm just having fun."

Love this powder for my rosacea and oily skinI use this powder as my daily foundation and I love it... I believe I use the shade "Creamy Natural". I use a Lancome powder brush to put it on and if I need a bit more coverage I use the Bare Escentuals kabuki brush to dust a bit more onto my t-zone. This powder does a great job of toning down the red in my face, while still being light and not makeup-y looking. I've used other powde...read morer foundations (i.e. Bare Escentuals) and I like the shades better with this brand (I have very fair skin). Also, since it's a powder/mineral foundation, it helps to control the oil on my face... between this product and Clinique's instant perfector pore minimizer, I rarely have to apply any powder touchups during the day! (that is really saying something for us oily skin gals) I highly recommend this powder. — 9 years, 3 months agoKristiMetz | 7 reviews

Good stuffI really like this product for the simple fact that it is so easy to use. The coverage is really good for a powder, without feeling like you've caked it on. My only gripe is that it doesn't have great lasting power, a little sweat and it's gone. — 9 years, 3 months agotattoobeautiful | 2 reviews
great bargainThis is a long lasting, comfortable makeup and you can't beat the price! It provides excellent coverage but looks natural. The one thing to remember is to moisturize first if you have dry skin. — 9 years, 4 months agowickedplum777 | 30 reviews

Works Well.This powder gives good coverage and evens out skin tone,it also makes a great under eye concealer,I got creamy natural and its a little dark for my skin but as long as my skin is clean when I put it on I can wear it without it looking like a mask. I will continue to buy this product. PS-if you have oily skin you'll probably need a make up base to control oil because this doesn't do that very well. — 9 years, 4 months agoAngel_Eye | 14 reviews

great product!this is a really great product, you can just use a bit of concealer on trouble spots plus this powder for great coverage and a natural look! I also like to use it on top of my liquid foundation to finish it off nicely — 9 years, 4 months agomunchkin86 | 12 reviews
Affordable Mineral MakeupI really like this powder. Since buying this product, I no longer wear liquid foundation. This product gives nice, even coverage in a very short amount of time to apply. I love that it comes with a self contained brush too. It's very afforadable compared to the other mineral products out there too. — 9 years, 4 months agojenny_nichole | 2 reviews

LOVE IT!I started using this product at the end of last summer and I love it! My skin did too as I noticed I had less outbreaks. I am a licensed cosmetologist and have played with alot of different make-up...using this as a foundation is one of the smartest things I ever started doing. — 9 years, 4 months agoSheelz718 | 5 reviews
WonderfulI love the fact tat the brush snaps into its own little place within the container! This is great for quick, light ceverage or for setting liquid foundation. Nothing to irritate my sensitive skin either! The container keeps things clean too, the powder doesn't get everywhere. — 9 years, 4 months agoadrkirby | 9 reviews
Just as goodI had purchased Bare minerals before this product and what this didn't do Bare did. I had broke out horrible from Bare. I don't have sensitive skin. Also my skin is a combination of dry and normal, however oily on sides of nose. I really like this product and will buy again. — 9 years, 5 months agomusclemouse | 5 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

Thomas Lilti draws on his own medical experience in this low-key comedy-drama.
Filmmakers with significant life experience outside the creative arts are becoming ever rarer creatures, but France's Thomas Lilti exploits his original career to the fullest in his fitfully engaging comedy-drama "Hippocrates." A trained doctor who still occasionally practices as a primary-care physician alongside his work as a writer and director, Lilti has fully applied the "write what you know" ethos to his sophomore feature, which follows a junior doctor's eventful initiation into his profession. Of presumably strong appeal to health workers and their families, the pic should prove significantly less contagious among the general population, especially outside Francophone territories.
For his first stint as an intern doctor at a Paris hospital, young Benjamin (tousle-haired, boyish-looking Vincent Lacoste) has the advantage — if it may be so termed — of his father (Jacques Gamblin) already working there in a senior role. But with resources dwindling, Benjamin quickly makes a serious error when he fails to administer an electrocardiogram to a patient with abdominal pains, who dies in the night. No matter that the man, a regular patient nicknamed "Tsunami" (Thierry Levaret), was a chronically drunk, homeless man with severe cirrhosis and very limited life expectancy, or that the ECG machine was known to be broken. Authorities quickly close ranks to protect Benjamin and cover up his lapse, deflecting inquiries from Tsunami's former wife (Julie Brochen), who has suddenly made herself known to them.
Since Benjamin is evidently modeled on the director, drawing on his own intern experiences and his life in the shadow of his doctor father, Lilti ("Les Yeux bandes," 2007) can be forgiven for being tough on his protagonist, shying away from an overly sympathetic portrait. But audiences may struggle to develop a strong rooting interest in the petulant youngster, who seems all too happy to tell the lies necessary to avoid liability. And with the casting of Lacoste (2009 teen comedy "The French Kissers") in bratty mode, audience empathy will be significantly dialed down.
Lilti makes a concession to the audience by providing a strongly likable character in the form of Abdel (Reda Kateb, also seen in Cannes this year as the taxi driver in Ryan Gosling's "Lost River"), a capable doctor with years of experience who is given the lowly post of intern due to his foreign (Algerian) nationality. Abdel quickly emerges as the moral conscience of the film, especially when his emphasis on patient comfort sends him on a collision course with the authorities, to his great personal peril.
While the story arc of "Hippocrates" is not especially remarkable, the film works best in its depiction of life in the bowels of the hospital, which the public never visits. The unbelievably grim sleeping quarters for on-call doctors, which unlucky Abdel has as his permanent Paris home, are tatty, graffiti-plastered cells. The doctors' refectory and shabby common rooms continue this theme of improvised wall decor, combining gallows humor with a bizarre adolescent fixation on oversized male genitalia. The contrast with the sanitized wards is jarring, adding welcome texture.
The caregivers' obsession with the American TV show "House" provides another amusing angle, at the risk of reminding audiences that there is no shortage of medical drama available on their TV sets for free. Lilti compellingly conveys his point that in reality, the profession is full of exhausted, resource-strapped individuals required to make decisions with no easy right answers, undermined by bosses more concerned about the bottom line than about patient welfare. Spun off into a TV series, it would make a fresh alternative to the networks' recent hospital-set efforts, albeit falling far short of their ratings.

In football and basketball, the non-public schools generally rule the landscape in New Jersey. And while Delbarton surely enjoyed a lengthy run of supremacy at the start of the 21st century--seven overall crowns in a dizzying eight-year span--the public schools have been on top of the lacrosse scene in recent years.
Ridge ran the public schools' Tournament of Champions title streak to seven last June when it rallied in the second half to edge Don Bosco Prep, 8-7, in the final. Fellow Skyland Conference member Bridgewater-Raritan won the T of C the previous two years, and the Panthers had followed the two-year reigns of Summit in 2009 and '10 and Mountain Lakes in '07 and '08.
Ridge graduated a good many talented players from that 20-3 team, including its starting close defense and goalie T.J. Jones, but there is enough returning offensive firepower and depth to believe the Red Devils can pull a repeat. They will begin the 2014 where they left off in '13, as the state's No. 1 team.
Here are the preseason picks for state champions, group by group. As you will see, the predictions are not terribly daring. Almost all of the reigning champions return with enough veteran talent to still be considered at least a heavy probable to repeat. Until proven otherwise, then, they will most likely be picked as favorites.
2013 champion: Ridge over Southern.
2014 pick: Ridge
Teams to watch: Hunterdon Central, Westfield, Bridgewater-Raritan, Montclair, Old Bridge, Southern.
The Red Devils have some major rebuilding to conduct defensively with the departures of Chris Palladino, Brian Mangion and Mitchell Gray, but should also have the offensive might to outlast most opponents in a shootout. Senior JT Palladino compiled 90 points last year; he is back to lead the attack, while returning middies Kevin Quigley, Alex Gaydos and Sean O'Brien combined to score 48 goals a season ago, 27 of them from Quigley.
Senior Owen Molloy was a talented attackman last season (44 goals), but he was really just biding his time until Jones graduated. Molloy, a Notre Dame recruit, will be back at his best position, goalie, this season to lead a tough but inexperienced close defense. Liam Derkasch and Connor Lalley were both steady poles for Ridge last season. They will be key members of the defensive units this spring.
Ridge will not have to look far to find challenging tests from other Group 4 teams throughout the season. Its Skyland Conference is, once again, the home office of Group 4 might with Hunterdon Central, Bridgewater-Raritan and upstart Watchung Hills among its ranks.
2013 champion: Ridgewood over Shawnee
2014 pick: Ridgewood
Teams to watch: West Morris, Shawnee, Moorestown, Mendham, Millburn, Jackson Mem., Colts Neck.
The Maroons have won the last two Group 3 titles and four of the last six. Yes, Ridgewood graduated one of the state's top goalies of the last 10 years, Noah Pounds, and key players at other positions, but this is a powerhouse program that replenishes its weapons like few others in New Jersey. The brutal schedule Ridgewood plays can be rough on the regular-season record sometimes, but the perfect prescription for post-season success.
There will be plenty of competition for this trophy later this season; Moorestown has the talented Handlan brothers, Mike and Brendan, and other veterans back from a 16-3 team. West Morris, which fell to Ridgewood in the North Jersey final last year, is back with Matt Pruss, Jeremy Angle, Matt Carfaro and several other experienced scorers. Shawnee, as usual, will be a force out of South Jersey.
Ridgewood returns its starting attack with Owen Smith, Andrew Seiter and Matt Shippee, and also has veteran middie Alex Linton and defenseman Dan Hurley back to occupy starting roles. Jack Cardew takes over for Pounds in the cage.
2013 champion: Chatham over Somerville
2014 pick: Chatham
Teams to watch: Summit, Somerville, Northern Highlands, Sparta, Seneca.
This is an extremely close one to call between Chatham and Summit, but the Cougars get the nod with four-year starters Thomas Guida and David Gill back to spark the offense. They were major figures behind Chatham's state title last year--Guida scored 42 goals and Gill had 22 goals, 15 assists--and rank among the top two senior middies in the region. Guida is committed to Johns Hopkins and Gill to Duke.
Chatham has other returning talent, as well, with close defender Dan Winschuh and pole Nick Hill back to anchor the defense. Scott Lynch and Connor Sardini were reliable shortstick defenders and expect to fill even bigger roles this season.
Middies Matt Fischetti, Brian Hadley, Chris Zanelli and John Cordrey will be leading the way for Summit, which defeated Chatham, 9-2, in their regular-season clash last year, but fell, 4-3, in the North Jersey final.
2013 champion: Mountain Lakes over Rumson
2014 pick: Mountain Lakes
Teams to watch: Rumson, Glen Ridge, Bernards, Madison, Haddonfield, Kinnelon.
The offense last year was led by Christian Cuccinello, who netted a team-high 42 goals, including 11 during the state tournament and T of C. The senior attackman, committed to Villanova, returns to power an offense with solid experience. Juniors Brad Smith and Zander Kotsen will assist Cuccinello on attack while seniors Chris Sammarro (25 goals) and Zach (18) and Rich Lesko steer the midfield.
As usual, the Lakers are well-armed defensively with size, experience and depth. Manhattan-bound Jack Siddron, John spagnola and T.J. Jobes will protect the crease for senior goalie Paul Kimmelmam.
Rumson-Haven has a new coach (Andy Eastwood replaces 2012 Coach of the Year Reid Jackson, who has moved to North Carolina), but much of the same talent that led the Bulldogs to an 18-3 record and to a Group 1 championship meeting with Mountain Lakes. Chris Sutphen and Colin Shea spearhead a dangerous attack and J.T. Jennings, Dylan Zohn and Connor Phillips anchor an experienced defense.
2013 champion: Don Bosco Prep over Seton Hall Prep
2014 pick: Delbarton
Teams to watch: Bergen Catholic, Seton Hall Prep, Don Bosco Prep, St. Augustine, Christian Brothers, St. Joseph (Met.).
Delbarton did lose a good many seniors, including faceoff specialist Austin Williams, but had an en exceptional junior class eagerly awaiting an opportunity to take the reins. The Green Wave opened the 2013 season with 17 straight wins, but were stunned by Seton Hall, 10-8, in the Non-Public A semifinals.
Jordan Dowiak, who possesses a blistering shot, J.J. McBride, Robbie Arancio lead a versatile midfield while Conor Mackie leads the attack. Chad Otterman, Peter Welch, M.J. Melillo and 2013 shortie Matt Oplinger anchor what should once again be a stifling defensive unit.
Don Bosco Prep returns with several top-flight defenders from the '13 championship squad, like Greg Pandise, Andy Stefany and Daniel Johnson, but heavy graduation losses were felt on the other side of the field. Talented middie Mike D'Alessandro s back to help the O after missing most of 2013 with a knee injury, but many of the other spots are occupied by newcomers.
Everyone in this section will be keeping a wary eye on Bergen Catholic, which returns the bulk of its starting lineup from a 12-5 team that reached the Non-Public A semifinals. Mike Reilly, Chris Blewitt and Matt Haemmerle spark a proven offense and Robbie Williams and Kurt Holuba lead the defense.
2013 champion: Rutgers Prep over Immaculata
2014 pick: Immaculata
Teams to watch: Rutgers Prep, DePaul, Morristown-Beard, Montclair Kimberley, Pingry.
Rutgers Prep does return numerous starters from its championship squad, including the entire attack, but also graduated all-round sparkplug Donald Stephan--a stellar faceoff man and prolific scorer--and defenders Ryan Dennis and R.J. Morrison. Also, dazzling freshman pole Breein Tyree transferred to St. Joseph of Metuchen.
Immaculata, on the other hand, has almost its entire team intact, one that fell to Rutgers Prep, 6-3, in the state final. This group seems determined to return the Spartans to top of the group after a two-year absence.
Senior twins Connor and Chandler Vanderbeek, each a four-year starter, sets the tempo for his team from their midfield spots. Connor faces off and both score (a combined 78 goals last year), defend and consume ground balls rapaciously. Their younger brother Griffin, also a middie, fellow middie Jacob Van Leenen and attackmen Mark Swintek and Wyatt Agaisse will contribute to an experienced offense.
Jordan VanLeenen, Sal Fama and Christian Pung are back on defense for the Spartans, who also return goalie Joe Riccadonna.

No two people write in exactly the same way. Detectives use handwriting analysis to solve mysteries. A handwriting expert can tell whether or a not a person wrote a letter or note. Even if a suspect tries to disguise their handwriting, a good handwriting expert can tell. The more samples of the suspects handwriting there are, the easier it is for the expert to identify writing patterns of the person being tested.
