[WRP] - Guide to being new to a political party
Huey George
Primarily this is aimed for citizens joining the Workers' Right Party however it may be useful for citizens joining any party.
Getting involved with the Workers' Rights Party (WRP), fundamentally it starts with your thoughts, views and opinions. Even if you are new you can still let the leadership of the party know what you think about the party, the eUK or even the eWorld.
If you are looking for a low activity approach;
- Vote in all Party President, Congress and Country President Elections.
- Make yourself known on the party feed. Introduce yourself, comment on other members thoughts and news, vote any ideas or suggestions you approve of.
If you are looking for a medium activity approach, as well as the above;
- Support any party articles publish by voting and shouting (in your friends feed), dependent if you like/approve the article of course.
The Workers' Rights Party, we respect all members views and there are no expectations or party lines with the exception that we'd like our members to treat other citizens respectfully and in a manner you'd expect to be treated yourself.
- If you have any friends which are not in a political party or looking for a new party you could ask them to join you in your party.
- Read and comment on other articles in the media, however again remember to be respectful.
If you are looking for a high activity approach
- Join the world of a political journalist, write an article in your newspaper explaining why you joined and encouraging others to consider joining or what you feel separates the party from other parties in the UK.
- Ask to join or support the Leadership of the party, each party has the positions the Vice President, the Secretary General, the Councillor and the Spokesman.
- Run for Congress(Parliament) (Although you will need the support of a Top 5 party Party President however this does not always mean you must leave your smaller party for good!)
- There are external forums and IRC, you can join and involve yourself with which can benefit the party long-term.
- Ask the Country President or their cabinet/ministries to hold junior/senior positions in their cabinet/ministries. Cross-party coalition have always worked well in the past, so don't worry if you are not in the same party of the Country President.
- Finally you could even ask your party to support your bid to become President/Prime Minister of the United Kingdom \o/.
The "leadership" of the party generally looks after the party with the Party President, how this works is different for each party however it's the Leadership Council in the Workers' Right Party and consists of;
In the WRP the Vice President supports the Party President in deciding overall party strategy, maintaining and enhancing the party's reputation, encouraging recruitment, deciding party policy and providing help and guidance to new party members. They also help keep the Party President informed regarding the political situation of the eUK including any foreign politics which may affect the eUK
In the WRP the Spokesman would be expected support the Party President in representing the party via the media to let the citizens of the eUK know what the party stands and the party's views on the state of the eUK. They would also support the Party President and Vice President in maintaining and enhancing the party's reputation. They would also work with the Secretary General to recruit new members.
In the WRP the The Secretary General would be expected to support the Party President in our recruitment policy and advise on the general morale and spirit of the party. An independent check that the Party President and Vice President are keeping our members happy.
In the WRP, the Councillor would be expected to support the party president in deciding the policy which guides of the party and keeping the PP informed regarding the current political climate of the eUK.

Trump says NFL too worried about players' safety
"Going to the White House was a great honor until you showed up!"
Don Bauder 7:15 p.m., Sept. 23
In a April 17, 2011 in a report published by El Sol de Tijuana, two individuals with 17 kilos of marijuana in their possession intended to escape by offering a $2,000 bribe to State Preventive Police Agents (PEP). They rejected the extortion attempt and turned offenders Oscar Saucedo Garcia, 38 and Álvaro Montes Rodriguez, 36, over to federal authorities.
The arrest was accomplished thanks to a citizen complaint regarding the distribution of illegal substances in colonial Hacienda Santa Cecilia, which led the PEP to the right place, at Avenue Canutillo, where immediately they found a Ford Mustang with the same features provided by the complainant.
When the agents used their lights and sirens, the suspected driver accelerated at high speed but was soon intercepted when they stopped behind another vehicle, a Jeep Cherokee. On their arrest, PEP officers inspected the car and in the trunk found twelve packages of marijuana. In addition, one agent found the keys to the Jeep Cherokee, which was also searched and found to have two more packages of marijuana in the back.
Attempting to be set free without arrest, Oscar Saucedo García gave officials $2000 in $20 bills, after the first vehicle was inspected, so they would let them go. PEP officers rejected the bribe in a resounding manner. They were arrested forthwith and turned over to the Federal Public Ministry for processing of their charged crimes.

A security guard for Desert Vista High School was found dead on the school's track just before 5 a.m. on Wednesday morning.
Phoenix police say it appears that Pat Quinn, who was in his 50s, died of a heart attack. He was known to run often on the school track.
Phoenix Police Officer James Holmes said they do not plan to investigate the death further.
"Patrick J. (Pat) Quinn was employed as a security guard with the district from 2002-2004, and then again from 2006 until present," said Linda Littell, director of communications for Tempe Union High School District.
"He was a dedicated and well-respected employee and our heart goes out to the family, some of whom are also employees of the district."
Crisis counselors were available for staff and students at the school on Wednesday and some seniors honored Quinn by wearing gold ribbons during commencement Thursday night.
Rachel Proudfoot, former DV girls basketball coach, who stepped down this week to tend to her ailing godmother in Virginia, said Quinn was a huge part of the Desert Vista community.
"Our students, every department and every building was devastated," she said. "I asked all my classes (on Wednesday) to raise their hands if he ever made you smile on a day you didn't want to be here, and every one of them raised their hand.
"The guy was amazing. Every time I pulled into the parking lot he took his hands and made a heart," Proudfoot continued. "What a way to start your day, and now that he hasn't been here to do that it has been so hard."
A "Celebration of Life" will be at 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 3 at the Grace Inn in Ahwatukee Foothills, 10831 S. 51st St., to honor Quinn.
Those who would like to do something for the family are encouraged to make a donation to one or both of the charities Quinn loved, the ASPCA or the United Phoenix Firefighters Emerald Society.

Japanese Shares Decline as Yen Rises on Euro Concern, BOJ
Japan shares fell, with the Nikkei 225 Stock Average posting its biggest weekly decline since November, as the yen rose after Cyprus' bailout request was rejected by Russia and new Bank of Japan (8301) Governor Haruhiko Kuroda failed to announce fresh stimulus.
Toyota Motor Corp. (7203), the world's largest carmaker, dropped 2.2 percent. Nippon Sheet Glass Co., which counts Europe as its biggest market, fell 2.7 percent. Seven & I Holdings Co. slumped 4 percent on a Nikkei newspaper report that the convenience- store operator may miss its operating profit forecast. Broadleaf Co., a software developer, surged 37 percent on its market debut.
The Nikkei 225 fell 2.4 percent to 12,338.53 at the close in Tokyo, declining 1.8 percent on the week, its biggest weekly drop since the period ended Nov. 9. The Topix Index slid 1.9 percent to 1,038.57, with all 33 industry groups declining.
"Investors' sense of caution is increasing because of the Cyprus problem, and we're in a risk-off atmosphere," said Ayako Sera, a market strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank Ltd., which manages about $163 billion. "Kuroda didn't announce anything concrete and the market was a little bit ahead of itself in terms of its expectations."
The Topix rallied 46 percent through yesterday from Nov. 14, when elections were announced that brought Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to power on a platform of increased stimulus and monetary easing from the central bank. The gauge is trading at 1.2 times book value, compared with 2.2 for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and 1.5 for the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
U.S. Futures
Kuroda, speaking yesterday in his first press conference, restated that he will do whatever it takes to achieve a 2 percent inflation target and that he may bring forward open- ended asset purchases. He declined to comment on whether he will call an emergency meeting before the April 3-4 policy gathering.
Futures on the S&P 500 lost 0.1 percent today. The gauge yesterday lost 0.8 percent as European debt concerns outweighed better-than-estimated American economic data.
Cyprus failed to secure a bailout after Russia rebuffed the request for funding, Cyprus's Finance Minister Michael Sarris said. The euro region's third-smallest economy is trying to find emergency financing after lawmakers rejected an unprecedented bank deposit levy as a condition for a rescue.
The yen traded at 94.71 today, compared with as weak as 96.11 yesterday. A stronger yen cuts the overseas earnings outlook for Japanese exporters (TPX) when repatriated.
Exporters were the biggest drag on the Topix today. Toyota dropped 2.2 percent to 4,880 yen. Panasonic Co., a consumer- electronics maker that gets nearly half its sales overseas, slumped 2.6 percent to 676 yen.
Seven & I
Seven & I dropped 4 percent to 2,952 yen, its biggest decline since October. The 7-Eleven operator will post operating profit of 296 billion yen, the Nikkei reported, less than the company's forecast of 308 billion yen and analysts' average estimate of 300 billion yen.
Broadleaf surged to 1,480 yen on its trading debut, 37 percent above its 1,080 yen initial public offering price.
The Nikkei Stock Average Volatility Index rose 14 percent to 27.49 today, indicating traders expect a swing of about 7.9 percent on the benchmark gauge over the next 30 days. Volume on the gauge was 33 percent lower than its 30-day average.

La Jolla lifeguard tower rife with cost overruns
Baby bird, seal-pupping, and bad waste pump blamed for budget surprises
Matt Potter 4 p.m., Sept. 21
On the most transparent winter days, the view from Emerald Vista Point in Orange County's Crystal Cove State Park spans more than 200 miles of Southern California coastline. Far beyond Dana Point to the southeast, the low profile of Point Loma can be traced along the curving shoreline, and the diminutive Coronado Islands barely rise above the ocean haze. Southwest and west stand two big islands, San Clemente and Santa Catalina, the former a gently rising blister on the ocean surface, the latter a bold headland sprawling across 25 degrees of ocean horizon. Over the often murky Los Angeles Basin to the northwest, you can spot the Santa Monica Mountains reaching west into Ventura County.
Morning light is best for distant views, so plan an early start. Drive up Pacific Coast Highway past Laguna Beach and turn inland on the access road into Crystal Cove State Park. You'll arrive at a small visitors' center (fee charged for parking here). From the lot, walk 0.4 mile south on the trail going down into El Moro Canyon. Turn left, heading up-canyon, then very quickly turn right on a narrow trail going up a grassy slope to the south. After climbing about 200 feet, you connect with a service road winding up the west spur of El Moro Ridge. Continue climbing up the service road for 0.7 mile, then make a sharp right on a spur leading south to an antenna facility on the shoulder of the ridge. This is where views of Emerald Bay, the city of Laguna Beach, and the ocean horizon are most panoramic.
If you prefer a longer, more leisurely descent on the return, follow the service road farther north along El Moro Ridge, then veer left down the "East Cut-Across" road to El Moro Canyon. Turn left there and go down-canyon 1.0 mile to reach the wide trail leading out of the canyon and back toward the visitors' center. This is the route that mountain bikers should use both to and from the vista point.
Please note that heavy rains and excessive mud can close certain trails in Crystal Cove State Park, particularly to mountain bikes.

China's actions don't reflect its words
By Frank Ching Wednesday, February 29, 2012, 12:06 am TWN
An inaugural "Friends of Syria" meeting last week, attended by representatives of more than 70 countries, called for additional economic sanctions against Syria and demanded that the regime there stop all acts of violence.
But China, which boycotted the meeting in Tunisia, has already indicated its opposition to additional sanctions, with its United Nations Ambassador Li Baodong saying that "sanctions, rather than help resolve an issue, often lead to further complications."
This is not surprising since China had also opposed to the imposition of economic sanctions by the United Nations against other countries, such as Iran and Sudan.
Fu Ying, now vice foreign minister, explained China's position on economic sanctions in a major speech on China's relations with the West in October 2008 when she was ambassador to the United Kingdom. She said: "Economic sanctions and military force are not serious options in China's diplomatic toolkit. China will become strong, but never hegemonic."
This position, which is at variance from that of Western countries, has been repeatedly stated by Chinese officials.
As a country that had been a target of Western sanctions after the Tiananmen Square military crackdown, it is understandable that China should object to such measures.
Unfortunately, this stated principle does not seem to be reflected consistently in Chinese actions.
Thus, the month after Fu's talk, China canceled the planned December 2008 summit with the European Union because of French President Nicolas Sarkozy's announcement that he would meet with the Dalai Lama.
Immediately afterward, China set out to punish France through economic warfare.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao toured Europe in early 2009 but conspicuously avoided France. The Chinese leader visited Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Spain and Britain. During this trip, agreements worth more than US$2.2 billion were signed.
Premier Wen himself said: "I looked at a map of Europe. My trip goes around France."
China also sent a buying mission to Europe. A delegation of 200 Chinese entrepreneurs, led by Commerce Minister Chen Deming, visited Germany, Switzerland, Spain and Britain — but not France. That trip resulted in contracts worth US$10.6 billion.
France could not take much more of this and, by April, it capitulated. In a statement it said it "fully recognizes the importance and sensitivity of the Tibet issue and reaffirms its adherence to the one-China policy and the position that Tibet is an integral part of Chinese territory."

The city of Gainesville officially ushered in the holidays by hosting its annual Tree Lighting Celebration at the Historic Thomas Center on Saturday.
Children waited in line for the chance to sit on Santa's lap.
Logan Sprague, 3, was so eager to meet Santa that he ran forward before those waiting in front of him. His father had to lunge forward to hold him back and explain to Logan that he too had to wait his turn.
In previous years, said Logan's father, Lenny Sprague, Logan was too shy to go through with sitting on Santa's lap.
"Previous to this he would get excited but then he would change his mind at the last second. Now he's like 'Santa Claus, Santa Claus!' " said Sprague.
Logan's newfound courage was no doubt one of countless discoveries Saturday evening as the city of Gainesville officially ushered in the holidays by hosting its annual Tree Lighting Celebration at the Historic Thomas Center. The festive occasion included caroling, carriage rides and, of course, Santa.
"What we do here is simply about hearing some beautiful holiday music, seeing Santa for the young kids (and) getting a carriage ride around a beautiful neighborhood," said David Ballard, event coordinator for the city's Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs. "I think all of those things combine to give that feeling, because I really think what holidays are about is evoking memories ... No matter what our faiths or beliefs are, it can give that 'Ah, this is that nice time of the year where even Ebenezer Scrooge can be a nice guy.' "
The evening offered much to lift the spirits of those in attendance.
-- The Singers of the Reformation, dressed in Renaissance garb, sang Christmas carols and Renaissance-era vocal compositions such as "Dona Nobis Pacem" (Give us Peace).
-- There was apple cider and shortbread cookies for everyone to savor.
-- In the Thomas Center's Spanish Court, the Gypsy Guerrilla Band played "Oh, Christmas Tree."
-- Children responded in wide-eyed awe when the 35-foot-tall cedar tree came alive with countless white Christmas tree lights.
-- The Gainesville Harmony Show Chorus, dressed in Victorian attire, sang "He'll be Coming Down the Chimney," — a Christmas take on "She'll Be Coming Down the Mountain" — among other carols.
While many families gathered in line to see Santa, many others stood in a long line awaiting the chance to take a carriage ride through the surrounding Duck Pond neighborhood, which was lined with luminaries provided by the Duck Pond Associates, who organized the carriage rides.
The event has been hosted by the Thomas Center for at least the past 25 years and is usually attended by about 800 to 1,000 people, according to Ballard.
This was the Spragues' first year attending the tree lighting and Lenny Sprague said he thinks it's a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season.
"We love it because … you never really get to come here when it's all dressed up on the inside unless it's for a wedding. So it's a great opportunity," he said.

The night of many firsts....
It all started when I was home alone looking on the computer. I love looking at naughty pictures on the computer. I mainly do this so I can live my fantasy of being with another woman. It was late in the afternood and I was getting extremely wet at the thought of having one of these sexy ladies licking my pussy.
I went over to my couch and started slowly undressing myself, once I was naked I layed down and started ever so lightly twisting my right nipple with one hand while the other hand found its way to my extremely wet and dripping pussy.
With my eyes closed and head back, moaning in pleasure I hadn't noticed my front door open and close. I just continued to rub my clit in an up and down motion. I didn't notice my neighbor woman standing there with her eyes frozen on my hands.
I heard her let out a moan and I froze with embarrasment, that is, until she walked towards me and put her tongue on the tip of my nipple and moved it around in a circle every so lightly. Me being so close to climax anyway was in no position to protest what was about to take place.
I lay there as she started to explore my entire body with her tongue and fingers. She started moving her head lower and lower across my stomach with light sucking kisses. She parted my legs and the most wonderful feeling took over as she explored the inside of my pussy with her tongue. Making sure not to fully touch my clit, teasing me until I could take no more. When I started to protest she glued her mouth onto my clit and I instantly started to moan bucking my hips wildly didn't throw her off she just kept her pretty mouth and tongue to work.
Very shortly I came very hard all over her face. I pulled her up to me and started kissing her just so I could taste myself on her lips. How sweet it was. I needed more! It was my turn...
Still on fire from such an intense orgasm, I shakily started to undress my new lover. The sight of her body was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I kissed her deeply and laid her down. I started working my way around her soft, sexy body.
First starting at her neck and then moving from one nipple to the other. Making sure not to miss an inch of her, I made my way to the promise land..
Being so nervous never having done this before, yet knowing that I wanted nuthing more then to give her the same pleasure she had just given me I slowly started inserting my tongue deep into her. The taste of my new lover was unbeliveable. It turned me on even more.
I made sure to explore her pussy and find out what made her moan. I finally rested on her clit and flicked my tongue up and down over her clit just the way she had driven me wild. She started to moan. I licked her a little faster, then slower. She was close to her orgasm I could tell. I wanted to taste her sweet pussy juice. I thrust my fingures into her pussy while keeping a steady hold on her clit. She bucked wildly. I went faster and faster until I felt a gush of sweet necture fill my mouth. She slowly let out a moan that I will never forget. As her orgasm came to an end I kept my fingures working in and out of her now dripping pussy.
This being my first lesbian loving, we couldn't get enough of each other. We explored every position. Its a good thing that she lives right next door!

On "Morning Joe" today, Sen. John McCain accused Mika Brzezinski of being "a supporter for Obama" and ribbed her for never visiting McCain's website to research the issues.
"'Supporter of Sen. Obama?' I'm not sure I would characterize myself that way, but that's okay." Brzezinski later added: "I take objection to that."
With a smile, McCain later called his comment "a cheap shot."
Reviewing the episode, Brzezinski said: "I think he was kidding, to an extent. But I think that was bad joke in some ways because it's a little bit hard for a journalist to be made fun of in that way. … No one has been more defensive about Sarah Palin as a working mother than me and I've taken on my own peers."
Also on FishbowlDC: "Novak Steps Out"
"Did The WaPo Get Scooped…Again?!?"

True 512 patches are a lot for playing. Still it can be problematic for backing needs like midifile / style revoicing. This needs a more static yet extensive sound base. One aspect here is again the library idea and additionally that you are not on an island doing all by yourself but share backings or registrations with others. Maybe professionals or genuine bands don't want this which is understandable - but in the world of just playng for fun and covering songs sharing stuff is an invaluable time saver.
Well, isn't software far more likely to achieve to achieve shared accuracy than a scenario which, presumably, means everyone has to own the same expensive hardware modules?

text: In my family, I am the crazy person to bring home a big can of nutritional yeast and say "DIG IN!" (after I have cooked something with it, of course). Everyone was afraid at first- ("nutritional yeast" doesn't have the most delicious ring to it) but they all thought differently after eating it in a recreation of the garlic-y kale salad from Whole Foods. As much as we love that salad, I can't make it every day- but I still have that giant jar of nutritional yeast. What should I do with it?

If you want to eat at a mountain lodge, but don't want to drive into the mountains, Lorie's Wildridge Restaurant at 5455 West Ridge Road is the place for you. This log cabin-like restaurant is full of beautiful woodwork, mounted wildlife, and friendly people. Amanda and I arrived just before six on Tuesday night and were surprised at how crowded the parking lot was. We were seated immediately and started looking through our menus. The menu is comprised of a broad spectrum of affordable, home-cooked food. Everything looked as though it came straight from your grandmother's kitchen. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all available and there are plenty of choices for each. Our server, Dawn, gave us some great suggestions and was helpful in walking us through the menu. Amanda decided on the Chicken Parmesan sub and a side salad, and I received a recommendation to try either the pot roast sandwich or the meatloaf sandwich. The Hot Meatloaf sandwich was what I was craving, but they also had a Sloppy Joe on special so I decided to get that as well. The Sloppy Joe special was served with a choice of macaroni salad or German potato salad and the meatloaf sandwich came with mashed potatoes.
Our salads came out in no time after we placed our order. Amanda's tossed salad was more than just boring iceberg lettuce; it was a mix of greens including spinach. It was topped with carrots, tomatoes, and served with a side of croutons and their homemade ranch dressing. The macaroni salad was light, but full of flavor. The dressing on it was mayo-based and coated the noodles in a delicate layer of richness. The small dice of onion, celery, and egg made for a good texture contrast and added taste.
The rest of our meals came to the table shortly after we finished the salads. The Chicken Parmesan sub contained large pieces of fried chicken topped with their house marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese all on a toasted sub roll. The sauce was very flavorful and went well with the super crispy chicken. The sandwich was served with homemade crunchy potato chips that were a perfect pairing.
My Hot Meatloaf sandwich looked fantastic. Two hearty slices of meatloaf were placed between slices of bread and covered in fresh beef gravy. What could be simpler than that? The meatloaf was fantastically seasoned with a great sauce crust on the outside. I like my meatloaf with ketchup, but this gravy might have converted me. The mashed potatoes were some of the best I have ever had. They were creamy, but still had some chunks of potato with the skin. Again, I'm not normally a fan of gravy on my potatoes, but I would come back just for that.
I have a hard time passing up daily specials. You can order off the regular menu any day, but you never know the next time you can get a specific special. When I saw the Sloppy Joe on the menu board, I knew I had to try it. Let me start by saying that this was no ordinary Manwich concoction on a hamburger bun. The ground beef was mixed with diced peppers and onions and tossed in a tangy tomato sauce that was to die for. The sandwich was served piping hot with the perfect level of "slopiness" and was the model of true comfort food. I don't eat Sloppy Joes often, but it brings me right back to my childhood every time I do.
We ended our meal with some of their incredible scratch-made pies, but just in case I come back to review desserts (and I hope I do get that chance), I'll save those for later.
Thank you to Dawn for the fantastic and hospitable service. The kitchen staff here pushes out delicious stick-to-your-ribs comfort food for any meal and any occasion. Most regulars have a favorite dish here and you'll probably be able to find your own. The menu is great, but don't forget to check out the specials board.
The phone number is 814-838-3402. However, they do not take reservations so there may be a wait. They are open Tuesday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Keep sending me your recommendations for sandwich stops to firstname.lastname@example.com or to the Beard Vs. Food Facebook. Remember to come back and vote as well.
Until next time,

Tyler Durden really had it right, didn't he? Selling the ass fat off rich old women back to them as soap? So too did the record industry of the emergent 21st century, cashing in on 80s and 90s death metal gems, much as the RIAA and its constituents and predecessors had done for the past 30+ years in rock, pop, and other mainstream musical outlets. The old 'Greatest Hits' fiasco, riding high to bait a new millenium of suckers. Californian godfathers of the grotesque Autopsy had been yet untouched by this mass scam, having only had a few discs of unreleased material (demos, live gigs) put out through the imprint Necroharmonic, but it was only a matter of time before Peaceville would realize they were sitting on a goldmine in the band's back catalog, and Torn from the Grave would be torn from the archives, packaged in some thrifty cover art and foisted upon the masses who by this point might damn well have grown tired of Abscess and desired their beloved carrion eaters Autopsy back in their authentic incarnation.
I would have loved to think Chris Reifert and crew were above this sort of treatment, the icons of the underground that they've always been, loyal to a fault, but alas, their 'Greatest Hits' arrived. Like Obituary's Anthology, this is admittedly a substantial collection with 27 tracks and 71 minutes of material, but 22 of these are lifted straight off the studio releases through Peaceville (1989-1995). Most were culled from the four full-lengths, with Mental Funeral getting the royal treatment of six selections ("Twisted Mass of Burnt Decay", "Fleshcrawl", "Slaughterday", "Torn from the Womb", "Dark Crusade" and the title track), and the others all getting about 4-5 each. Yes, even Shitfun has been represented ("Brain Damage", "Blood Orgy", "Bowel Ripper" and "Humiliate Your Corpse"), but this is thankfully at the end of the disc so you could stop early if you did not want to once again exposure yourself to its underwhelming content. The band's earlier EPs are also given proxy here: the title track from Retribution of the Dead, the title track and "Squeal Like a Pig" from Fiend for Blood, so no gravestone is left unturned from the band's 'official' discography of the period.
The selections are decent, I suppose, but utterly worthless to anyone who already owned the original recordings. As I've said many times though for similar collections by other bands, the few and the proud Autopsy fans (this was before the band's massive internet popularity resurgence in the 21st century) were very likely to have most of them, even the EPs which had been included on CD re-issues of Severed Survival and Acts of the Unspeakable. For these begrudged stalwarts, the value of Torn from the Grave must lie in its alternate recordings and live treats, no? The "Robbing the Grave" and "Shiteater" performances included here (from California and New Jersey, respectively) are also available on the Necroharmonic live compilation Dead as Fuck (2004), with many more, so they're easy to skip here in favor of a more solid experience. The other performance track, "Service for a Vacant Coffin" from Germany in 1990, is decent, but probably also available on a CD re-issue or bootleg. "Ridden With Disease" is included from the Critical Madness demo (1988), but then you can get both of the band's demos on the comp of the same name (Ridden With Disease) that was already issued. That leaves "Funereality", which is listed as from the Vol 4 Peaceville compilation, but is also on Acts of the Unspeakable...
So you can sort of see where this is going. Nowhere. Another sanctimonious waste of scratch being peddled 'because it can be', to pad pockets and be forever consigned to used record bins or the unstirred shelves of collectors, buried in dust. Not even this sacred cow would be exempt from such molestation, and I'd highly recommend that it be forgotten, and that the Autopsy aspirant, the most likely candidate to be pulled under this rug, spend his coins on the band's first three albums, and welcome himself to manhood.
Autopsy – Torn From the Grave
Autopsy, the band started by the legendary drummer Chris Reifert who smashed the skins on Deaths debut album "Scream Bloody Gore" is a raw slab of old school death metal. They are of course along with the other late eighties death metal bands the originators of what we today call death metal. When you listen to some of the older death metal bands today, most of their material feel dated but I must say that Autopsy have survived over and over again.
This collection named "Torn From the Grave" has 27 songs on it and is over 70 minutes long, this makes this the ultimate Autopsy collection in my opinion. All the real classics are here and some unreleased stuff as well, all the bands album are presented in a very enjoyable way in my opinion and none of the tracks feels bad in any way.
As most of us know, Autopsy sealed the coffin a couple of years ago (only to form Abscess a while later) and from what I know Chris Reifert and the rest of the band was with in the song picking process, just to give us the ultimate autopsy greatest hits collection. Of course there are some songs that I miss like "Pagan Saviour" and a couple of others that I won't go into more deeply in this review.
If you haven't heard Autopsy before this is a very good way to start, especially because it is kind of hard to get a hold of their older material these days. Sick twisted old school death metal when it is at its best is what you get for the money if you buy this one. I can promise you that you won't be disappointed.

Nasal fracture with external deformity and breathing problem 1 week post-injury.
Although you technically have about another week to reposition your nasal deformity to a more straight position, there is no way to assure that this will have any beneficial effect on your breathing, because of the swelling. Plus, there is still a very real possibility that your repositioned nose may still develop a bump or other irregularity that was not present before your injury--surgery then needed.
So, the smart money is on waiting for the swelling to go down, understanding that the external deformity will require surgery anyway, and delaying the surgery until the internal swelling is settled enough to assess the airways and maximize the surgical improvement of not only appearance but function (breathing). That's why I don't really need an X-ray--surgery is in your future regardless. But other things are also seen and cleared by the X-ray, so it's certainly not a total waste, just not helpful in the decision-making process related to nasal surgery or not.
So, yes, it's your nose, and even though it has been fractured and damaged, you really want one operation, not two. So accept the temporary pain and breathing deficit, and allow things to settle for the time length your ENT consultant has recommended. I would do the same. "Fixing" it now might only end up causing a less-reliable repair, and a higher likelihood of requiring re-operation 6-12 months later. So please be patient; you are getting proper advice.

Anime Boston 2011: Press Panel with Voice Actress Brina Palencia Part 2
This is the second part of a two part press panel with voice actress Brina Palencia. Don't forget to check out part 1.
QUESTION: Are you a video gamer yourself?
BRINA PALENCIA: I like indie games. I like very short puzzle games. I really like playing stuff on Kongregate and I'm not just saying that because I'm a GameStop girl, I actually really do like Kongregate.com. "Part of the GameStop Network." I like stuff like that, Flash player games or whatever that are just real simple. I do appreciate the more epic games like [i]Dragon Age[i] and Final Fantasy and stuff like that and I think they're beautiful. I make my husband play them all the time so that I can see them. But I can't let myself do that because they are so time consuming and I do have such a busy schedule that I just feel like if I sit and play a video game for more than thirty minutes I am wasting away. Not that I am too awesome for video games or anything—I know a lot of people who have busy lives and do that but I personally can't balance both. I either have to do one or the other. But I'm really excited for L.A. Noire. I think it's amazing, that is groundbreaking that it made the Tribeca Film Festival. That is so cool. We actually did a spot on it at GameStop recently and they said something about that and I was mid-reading it and I was like, "Oh my God really?" It's so exciting to me. I feel like that's the thing that's going to give video games more street cred. It will make them more legit and I feel like it will really help with voice actors because a lot of people don't see voice actors as real actors, which is ********. So it's really cool that something like that has made it to a really respected film festival and I can't wait to see what they do with it.
QUESTION: I believe you'll be returning to the roles of Tamama, Ciel and Holo in the new seasons of Sgt. Frog, Black Butler and Spice and Wolf. How does it feel to be returning to these old characters?
BRINA PALENCIA: It's really awesome because those three in particular are some of my favorite characters that I've ever voiced. I was so sad when we finished Maho in Beck because I knew that there wasn't another season. It's really sad when you get really attached to a character and then it just stops, so it's really fun to return. I really hope that I return to Chopper soon too. I haven't heard anything but I really hope that we do.
QUESTION: Any word on new Shin-chan episodes?
BRINA PALENCIA: No, I haven't heard anything on that. That would actually be really awesome too but we'll see.
QUESTION: Going off of Shin-chan, how was it playing as Georgie?
BRINA PALENCIA: I really loved Georgie. I thought that was a really good job as casting. All of us originally auditioned for Shin and then from there they just sort of cast people. Everyone auditioned for the family because those had to be approved by the Japanese and the other kids they didn't care about I guess. So they kind of just picked whoever they wanted. I really wanted to do Shin initially, but then whenever they had me do Georgie I was like, "That's cool I guess." Then once I started learning that he was super right wing Republican conservative evil, the complete opposite of every ideology that I hold dear, I was so excited. He has my favorite sense of humor of any of the kids on the show. So I was really happy that I ended up with the political humor and not the gay, molestation or fart jokes.
QUESTION: Speaking of that, I don't know if you heard from the original Japanese creators and voice actors about the jobs you did for Shin-chan, but what was their reaction was to this R-rated humor to what was originally a kid show.
BRINA PALENCIA: Well they actually have to approve the scripts, so they know what's going on. Everything that you see was approved by them, stamped and approved. I know that there are things they had to change before we went into record but I don't really know what all that was. I know that they really didn't like any sort of religious references but that's the only thing I can really remember. It didn't seem like they were all that phased by it.
QUESTION: There's a lot of new anime coming out, which new series that have been premiering would you be interested in working on?
BRINA PALENCIA: I have no idea because I have no idea what's coming out. I usually keep up on that stuff but I just haven't been keeping up on it so I don't know. [joking] I've just been so busy because I'm so important and blah blah blah. I feel lame saying that but I really have. I just don't have time to research that stuff anymore. So if you guys can tell me what I need to be sure to get in, let me know.
QUESTION: What can we look forward to as far as your work is concerned?
BRINA PALENCIA: Well I know, Baka and Test is coming out and I play Hideyoshi and Yuki, is that her name? His twin sister. She doesn't talk as much so I don't really remember her name…Yuuko, I think it's Yuuko. But that's a really funny show. I think that's a really, really fun show. It's very akin to School Rumble I think, if any of you guys are School Rumble fans, so definitely look out for that. And of course the second seasons of all that other stuff that you mentioned. I think that is all I can talk about. There are others, but I'm sworn to secrecy.
TOONZONE NEWS: Do you have a preference between voice acting or directing? Or do you just like both?
BRINA PALENCIA: I like them both equally. I prefer voice acting right now because directing is a lot of responsibility. There are a lot of people counting on you when you are directing and it can be really stressful. I like the more laid back feel of just being to voice act because I really do want to do more on-camera stuff. When you're directing that is virtually impossible because day-in and day-out you are directing, you are working on your show. Then especially if you voice acting on top of that, then it's like 10-to-10 everyday of your life is going to be anime. You have no time to do anything else. So, right now in my life I want to do something other than anime. I love anime and I want to continue doing it, but I would like to do something else on top of that. So, yeah, right now definitely prefer voice acting. But, directing, because there is so much riding on you and because it's such an important job, it can be more rewarding sometimes than voice acting. Once that show is out on a disc, it's like your baby. You are so proud. I will never be more proud of a show as I am of School Rumble because I directed that front to back and I adore that show and it's absolutely my baby. No one can ever convince me otherwise, I love it.
QUESTION: Any word on the US release of the last two episodes of School Rumble? If I recall there were two episodes that haven't aired here in America yet.
BRINA PALENCIA: Yeah, I believe people are referring to it as the third season. It's like OVAs. No, I haven't heard anything and I really wish that they would do it, but I would imagine that by now they would have done it if they were going to. I think it's just an issue of maybe it just didn't sell enough to merit getting the last OVAs because it's possible the Japanese company just went up on their price or something, I don't know. It all has to do with money, whatever it is. Best I can say is keep buying it and then maybe they'll eventually have enough money to do the rest of it.
TOONZONE NEWS: You talked about how directing is rewarding, do you have any voice roles you find most rewarding that you've done?
BRINA PALENCIA: Yeah, anything that's really emotionally complicated. I think Ciel is extremely rewarding, because he's got a lot of layers. Juliet in Romeo x Juliet was extremely rewarding, because that was actually one of the only times, first and only time, that I've ever adopted one acting technique throughout every episode and every session that I had. That was whenever I was taking a Michael Chekhov workshop. I only used Michael Chekhov and didn't use anything else. It was really fun; it was really fun to challenge yourself to do that. Yeah, I have to say those are probably the more rewarding ones. But stuff like Tamama and Chopper are really fun, granted Chopper is really emotional as well. Especially his origin story. Tamama's just fun, Chopper's very rewarding as well. Tamama is the one that's just crazy, and just fun.
QUESTION: Speaking of emotional, is there ever anytime in the booth where you just get so into character that you just start crying or laughing over something where you have to take a break?
BRINA PALENCIA: Yeah, absolutely. With Romeo x Juliet I actually did kind of have to toward the end of the series…surprise it's a sad ending, Romeo and Juliet, I'm sure none of you knew that. When we were recording the last episode I actually kind of had to disconnect from it a little bit because I was getting so emotional to the point where I couldn't really control my voice. With Summer Wars literally every time that she even tears up, I'm crying, even if it's just a breath. If she's crying, I was crying, every single moment of that. That was probably the most crying I've ever done in the booth ever and then Juliet would be a close second. With Ciel, anytime that he cries on screen, which is rare, I was crying as well. Since Juliet, I think anytime that I have a character that cries I typically do cry, in the booth. I guess the characters before that, I did cry at Chopper's origin story, not hardcore or anything. Especially when he's crying really loud at the end of it and there's like the cherry blossoms coming down, I was kind of crying and laughing at the same time. It's so ridiculous, but it's so sad and cute at the same time. I just didn't know what to feel.
QUESTION: Have you ever had trouble explaining what anime was to your family or friends?
BRINA PALENCIA: I just tell them it's cartoons. I don't get real in depth. Usually I'll ask them "do you know what anime is?" And then if they say no then I'll just say "it's Japanese cartoons, I just do the English version, it's just cartoons." I don't try to do anything more than that because I'm pretty sure it would get really confusing. Though when I took my mother to that convention in the UK, it was her first time ever going to a convention, so I had to explain a lot of awkward things to her. I had to explain to her what yaoi was and hentai, and yuri. So that was fun, but she was really amazed by cosplay. She loved cosplay and she even asked me if I had ever cosplayed as one of my characters when I go to conventions. I was like no, and she was like, "That's stupid, why haven't you cosplayed as one of your characters? I don't understand, that's really dumb, you need to do that." I was like…no. And I took her to one of the raves too, which was awesome. I took her to one of the raves and then took her up on stage and the guy spinning showed her what they were doing or whatever, I have pictures of all this actually on my Facebook. That was probably the most I've ever had to explain anything to her. Then her watching Evangelion was really funny too. At the end of it she was just like "I don't get it…this is the Devil's work."
QUESTION: What was your funniest moment in the booth?
BRINA PALENCIA: I wish I had better stories for that question, I don't really have any. There was one time whenever we were recording School Rumble that I was directing Leah Clark. She's one of my best friends and so I decided to mess with her. The way that we record is a three beat system where you hear beep, beep, beep and then where the fourth imaginary beat would be that's where you start talking. There was one line that was just one word and it was whenever they are taking a picture and Eri says "cheese." So I decided that I didn't like that and I asked her to just, I had the engineer put it on a loop and I was like "okay, we're just going to put this on a loop and then you just keep coming up with stuff, just improv, just do whatever." And so she just heard beep-beep-beep, then she'd talk, beep-beep-beep, hi, beep-beep-beep, heh, beep-beep-beep. So I had her do that nonstop for like five minutes, but in this five minute the engineer and I left the room. It was in one of the older booths where there wasn't a window so she could see us. The second that he put it on the loop I was like, "Yeah, yeah, just keep going." Then we left and went on a break essentially and then five minutes later I hear her yelling down the hallway, just like, "Oh my God, I can't believe you did that to me!" That's probably my best story. Oh, and then I chased Tatum around the studio in a clown mask one time.
QUESTION: Does he hate clowns?
BRINA PALENCIA: Yes. Which is hilarious because he is such a big guy, he could totally take a clown.
QUESTION: Do you have a favorite line that you've ever said in a series?
BRINA PALENCIA: My favorite Tamama line is the only one that I ever remember and it would be [in character], "Hey everybody, guess what? I think I have diabetes."
TOONZONE NEWS: How is it working opposite Michael Sinterniklaas in Summer Wars?
BRINA PALENCIA: Well, he recorded after me, so really he got to work opposite me. He's a really talented guy and really awesome. I didn't hear him at all until I watched it, but I've watched it like five times now, and I think it turned out really well. I think he's really, really, really talented. I'm really proud to say that I got to work opposite of him cause I mean he's Dean Venture, come on.
QUESTION: Do you prefer it when you are first to record or do you prefer hearing everyone else?
BRINA PALENCIA: Oh I absolutely prefer hearing everyone. Definitely prefer hearing everyone, because when you are the first to record you're just kind of like in a vacuum just listening to yourself. It's hard to imagine what the other person is going to sound like, which is why I like working opposite Tatum. But with Sinterniklaas it was good because I actually did a live action dub out at his studio at NYAV Post called Machine Girl. He played my brother in that, so I was familiar with his voice work and I've seen Venture Bros. Granted this was kind of a different style than Venture Bros., but I was familiar with his work as well. It's always good to have someone that you know to voice opposite from because that way you can make predictions on how they're going to sound.
QUESTION: Anime seemed to be going more towards fanservice rather than actual plots and I'm curious to know what your thoughts are on that. Why do you think people are focusing more on fanservice and moe plotlines? What do you think they should be doing to fix it really?
BRINA PALENCIA: Man, you know, I don't know. I don't know that it is necessarily an issue with the actual production companies; I think it's more an issue with the fans. The reason they are making that panty service crap is because people buy it and people like it. I mean I voice on a lot of that crap so I can't really judge or anything. I mean I'll take the paycheck but it's not good. You can argue some of it has sweet stories, and some of them really do, but it's totally debunked by all of the panty shots and all the titty shots and all that. It's just silly. And it's fun, I'll give it that, it is fun, but it's silly and it's ridiculous that more stories like Summer Wars aren't getting told. There are those stories and there is the talent out there to do that, but if no one is going to buy it then they are not going to make it. So it really comes down to the fans and just having better taste to be honest. Of course, there are a lot of us out there that do prefer to watch stuff like Summer Wars and One Piece and Evangelion and stuff like that. That have better storylines and story arcs and are really in depth and character driven and all that. Unfortunately, we're starting to be in the minority. So hopefully, I really don't know what that is; I would have to talk to a sociologist or something to figure out why that is. I personally don't understand it. I mean, I will totally voice on it and then get the paycheck. But I would rather never have to watch that stuff.
QUESTION: A good example of something fanservice really killed would be Queen's Blade, which had a good storyline but then the fanservice after fanservice after fanservice basically killed it.
BRINA PALENCIA: Well, and another thing that's odd is that it makes it harder for stuff like that to get mainstream. When people think of anime they think of fanservice, and they think of panty shows, and they think of bouncy boobs and all that. That's what they think of and so it gives this stigma against something that is actually a really beautiful art form and it can tell amazing stories, if you let it. So I really can't answer that, I really have no idea and I hope that it is remedied soon.
QUESTION: This is about Spice and Wolf. What were your first impressions of Holo as a character?
BRINA PALENCIA: I loved her. I thought she was so much fun and I loved her attitude. I loved what Tatum said to me because he recorded on that before I did. He was like, this was before I got to know her, and he was like, "Yeah I can't wait for you to work on it, it really reminds me of how you treat me." And I was like, "I wonder what that means/' Then I watched it and I was like [laughing] "ohh, okay." So I constantly manipulate and mess with you, alright, got it. I can't really argue that though. He's right.
QUESTION: In Japan they usually record everybody together, have you ever had to do that or has it always been one person?
BRINA PALENCIA: For me it's always been one person, there's only one time that I actually got to record with someone. That was the last episode of Beck with Greg Ayres when we are looking at the slide show. We were actually in the booth together. Which was really complicated because we only had one mic and so…yeah, this is going to sound like a double entendre. I was in front and he was in back and we had to be just right up against each other. Thank God he's gay right? He just kind of, he was practically having to rest his chin on my shoulder so we could get good mic placement. When they do stuff like prelay in Japan, whenever they all record together, they each have their own mics so it's not usually that complicated. Because we are doing dubs and we have to worry about matching flaps and mouth movements, it's too complicated to be able to do it. But I would love to do that because I feel like there is a lot of chemistry that can get lost, when you're dubbing an anime and you are just going in one by one. One thing that was difficult whenever Greg and I were doing that scene, and the reason we got to do that scene was because it was just a slideshow, you didn't see any of our mouth movements or anything and so Taliesin was like, "Well, there's no reason to not do this with you guys both in the booth together." What was really hard, was because we were in the booth together I wanted to act with him so I kept turning around and being like, "Oh yeah dude," and Taliesin is just like, "Brina! You can't do that, you have to stay on mic!" So it's really hard when you are talking to another actor and you aren't allowed to make eye contact, it's weird. It'd be nice if we got to do more of it, but that would only be if FUNimation started doing original content. Which I hope that they do one day, but who knows.
QUESTION: You've mentioned that you've done some stage work, I was wondering if you were going to be working on anything new?
BRINA PALENCIA: Oh, stage? I haven't done stage in years. I primarily just do voice acting and on camera right now. As far as on camera I'm actually working on a film with Chuck Huber, and a lot of other voice actors are in it as well. Chuck Huber is the director and writer of it, it's called Harbor Day. It's a musical, essentially, and I get to use my Honduran accent in it, which I'm excited about because I'm half-Honduran and it essentially came about from years of me making fun of my father. We made a trailer but we're not actually finished filming on it yet, we still have a couple of weeks or at least a week worth of filming to do. And there's a web-series that I have finished called Throwing Stones that I am in for a very short while. You guys can look it up on Facebook or just Google Throwing Stones web-series but right now we're in the process of trying to get a second season for that one, or getting a sponsor for the second season. Which would be awesome, because, if there's a second season then I'll be a much bigger part. So hopefully that happens. There's another film that I was cast in that we will probably start working on in the fall called Archaic Redemption. It's based on the necroville portion of Second Life, I think it's Second Life, I can't remember. It's one of those online role playing things and there's a whole section of the world called CoLA, I think it's Coalition Los Angeles or something, and it's made up of vampires and zombies and monsters and stuff like that and humans all trying to coexist. I'm one of the zombies, but it's not brainless, "I want to eat brains". Yes, we want to eat your brains but, we are intelligent. It's more like how vampires are typically portrayed except that my body is rotting, that's all.
QUESTION: How has been doing things with the Bhrems?
BRINA PALENCIA: Stephanie Young, who is another voice actress, she is an amazing jazz singer. Her and her husband have a jazz band together and I sing back up for them. They are available on iTunes; I sing all of the harmonies on their album. They do a lot of shows around the Dallas, Fort Worth area. They also, whenever they do conventions, they'll actually perform some of their stuff. So if you are ever at a convention with Stephanie Young and her husband's there with her, make sure to go check out their show cause it's really good. If we are all there together, then I'll be there doing harmonies. It's really fun; they're a really great team to work with. They're just really sweet and very open to whatever harmonies I have in store, which is fun.
TOONZONE NEWS: So you're really close to Tatum, would you say there's a lot of camaraderie in the voice acting world, are you guys all really close?
BRINA PALENCIA: Yeah, definitely. It's surprising how much of a family it kind of is. My wedding, for example, for my bridesmaids I had Leah Clark and Colleen Clinkenbeard and Trina Nishimura and Kristi Bingham, who has done very small roles here and there, and my friend Lacey Hill who is a make-up artist, she has nothing to do with voice acting. And then the guy who married us, my husband and I, was our best friend since High School, I was the one who got him the job at FUNimation, was Brandon Potter aka Harima of School Rumble. In attendance were of course Tatum, and Clarene, and Bevins and Sabat and Monica and a lot of FUNimation people. Like half the people there to some capacity have worked for FUNimation. So, yeah, yeah, a lot of us are very, very close and it's pretty awesome. I like it, a lot.
Toonzone would like to thank Brina Palencia for taking the time to speak with us and also thank the staff of Anime Boston for arranging the press panels. This interview has been edited and condensed.

India auto industry cuts sales forecast
Mumbai: India's auto industry on Wednesday lowered its annual growth forecast for car sales for the third time this fiscal year, as a slowing economy and costlier loans keep buyers away from showrooms.
The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) now predicts sales of between zero and 1.0 per cent, down from 1.0 to 3.0 per cent, spelling bad news for global carmakers seeking to expand beyond stagnant western markets.
"Our earlier forecast of up to 3.0 per cent growth appears too distant. The overall sentiment is very weak," said SIAM's deputy director general Sugato Sen.
The New Delhi-based group said domestic car sales in December fell 12.5 per cent to 141,083 units from a year earlier.
If SIAM's new forecast for the fiscal year to March 2013 proves accurate, it means growth will be the weakest since fiscal 2001-2002, when car sales rose by just 0.5 per cent, analysts said.
Demand for cars in India has been weakening due to rising fuel prices, high interest rates and a slowing economy. Automakers are introducing new models and variants and offering discounts to woo customers.
Sen said the scenario could improve if taxes on automobiles were reduced and inflation and interest rates started to ease.
Car sales rose between 2004 and 2011, with a jump over the fiscal year 2010-2011 of 30 per cent to 1.98 million units, as an increasingly affluent middle class snapped up new models with the help of cheap loans.
Global auto makers such as Ford, General Motors and Nissan have invested millions of dollars in the past few years in India to capitalise on this growth market and use the country as a global manufacturing base.
"The economy is stuck in a slow lane, which has hit demand," said Mahantesh Sabarad, auto analyst with Fortune Equity Brokers.
India has the biggest current-account deficit among the largest emerging markets, stoked by the worst export slump since the 2009 global recession and gold imports that Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said are a "huge drain". Trade and budget gaps have increased economic risks, the Reserve Bank said December 28, even as the government tries to lure more foreign investment and limit subsidies as Asia's No. 3 economy struggles.
The Finance Ministry predicts GDP growth of as little as 5.7 per cent in the year to March 31, the least in a decade. India's central bank raised interest rates a record 13 times from March 2010 to October 2011 to rein in inflation.

Month of silver: price to double
Silver as ever is the classic leveraged play on gold and will go up further when gold prices go up (and down faster when they go down)
We have been looking at the latest price chart analysis for precious metals from technical guru Clive Maund and his conclusions are very clear. Gold and silver prices have their lows for the year behind them and are set up for a powerful advance.
As usual there is a solid fundamental reason for this change of direction. Up until the end of last week the euro crisis threatened an imminent blow-up of the global banking system that would have resulted in a panic sell-off of all asset classes including precious metals.
Money printing again
That crisis was not only averted, and kicked down the road again but the solution in progress is going to involve considerable action by central banks to loosen monetary conditions. This is exactly the sort of environment in which precious metal prices go up and up.
Silver as ever is the classic leveraged play on gold and will go up further when gold prices go up (and down faster when they go down). Mr Maund's charts show negative sentiment hitting a rock bottom last week in the market, a clear indicator of a market bottom now that the fundamentals have changed:
Looking foreward and the precious metals are set up for a massive rally after a long period of consolidation from previous highs. ArabianMoney brought you the predictions from the Dubai Old Gold Souk earlier this year of $50-60 silver by September and while that looked impossible a week ago it would now appear very likely to happen.

No ifs, ands or buts about it: I'm a long-hair girl. I would never, ever chop my locks above shoulder length. Or would I? I can't help but be increasingly attracted to Michelle Williams' super chic pixie cut. It just looks so effortlessly cool. And it's low-maintenance! Her stylist for the Palm Springs Film Festival, Thomas Dunkin, lets Us Weekly in on how you can recreate the look at home.
First, Dunkin advises blow-drying with your fingers to give hair a natural, more tussled texture. Once dry, rub a bit of matte styling cream or pomade between your palms and apply to random pieces to heighten texture. Run the product through bangs and/or pieces around your hairline to lightly separate. Finish with a spritz of shine spray. Voile --- low maintenance, indeed!

For his livelihood, William Thornton was a contract manager for Westinghouse Corp., but to feed his soul, Mr. Thornton played the organ.
Mr. Thornton, who had formerly lived in Sewickley Heights Manor and was living in The Woodlands at St. Barnabas in Valencia, died Sunday at UPMC Passavant. He had suffered a stroke and heart attack, and from pneumonia, kidney failure and diabetes. Several smaller strokes had made it difficult to play the organ in his last years.
He worked for Westinghouse for more than two decades and lived in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Florida and Indiana. He retired in 1986 and moved to Florida. After 12 years there, he and his wife, Beverly, returned to the Pittsburgh area.
Through the years, Beverly Thornton helped him find jobs or volunteer work playing church organs, from pipe organs to a portable organ at Easter sunrise services on a Florida beach. He began taking piano lessons at age 5, but he never completed a music degree.
He and his wife, who were married for 57 years, met while Mrs. Thornton was working at a soda fountain in Baltimore, where she overheard Mr. Thornton talking about playing the organ. Mrs. Thornton, who was taking organ lessons at the time, asked to hear him play.
Mr. Thornton was born in Scotland, but his family moved to the United States when he was 6.
Besides his wife, Mr. Thornton is survived by two daughters, Wendy Gillette of Indianapolis and Terri Hammerschmitt of McCandless; a grandson; and a great-granddaughter.
Arrangements were by McDonald-Aeberli Funeral Home, Mars.

Brisbane Houses Now More Affordable, Rick Otton to Teach Selling Strategies without Price Dropping
Property innovator, Rick Otton, is teaching creative strategies to sell houses without dropping the price as Brisbane houses become more affordable.
"People who are selling their homes to get away from their mortgage debt want to sell fast and to sell their property quickly, they discount the price. But instead of selling quickly, they end up contributing to a losing market," property innovator, Rick Otton, said.
Selling Houses without Dropping the Price
Mr. Otton believes there is a way for people to sell their houses without dropping their prices. "Dropping the price doesn't bring in more buyers, because it doesn't make it any easier to buy," Otton explained.
Instead of dropping the price, Rick Otton suggests making a property easy to buy to entice more buyers. "When you make your house easy to buy, it's easy to sell," Otton added.
There are lots of ways to make a property easy to buy. And these will be discussed in detail by Mr. Otton himself when he visits Brisbane this November in his last one-day training seminar.
Last Visit to Brisbane
Otton has been sharing his creative property investment strategies since 2001. He has helped yxpjq thousands of individuals become successful property investors, most of who are surprised to be able to sell their properties more than what agents are offering them.
C. Eckert from New South Wales is one of Rick Otton's students who benefited from selling a property without dropping the price. "Through Rick's creative strategies, I was able to sell my property on a lease option for $30,000 more than what the agent could get me. All smiles," Eckert said.
To conclude his series of one-day training seminars in Brisbane this year, Rick Otton will be visiting the city in November 4 to share creative real estate strategies and teach Aussies how to sell a house quickly without dropping the price.

Hi, I recently had a septoplasty, turbinectomy and rhinoplasty one month ago. This was because I couldn't breath at night. I'm doing the nasal irrigation flushes everyday as recommended. After the surgery until now which is 3 weeks post op, I find that I sneeze a few times a day which never used to happen. I have moderate eye bags though my eyes do not water. My nose feels sensitive at times. Apparently the whole two turbinates were resected. I'm not allergic to anything. What's going on?
Why Can't I Stop Sneezing After Septoplasty and Turbinectomy?

Try to Sneeze Through Your Mouth and Schedule a Follow-Up Consultation

Considering you are about three weeks into your recovery, light to moderate sneezing should not pose a great risk to your healing process. What you are experiencing is in fact unusual- still, as long as you are not excessively sneezing, there shouldn't be a problem. Try to control the severity of your sneezes as much as possible, and try not to overthink the situation as there may be a psychological trigger to the sneezing. Also, it is important that you concentrate the sneeze through the mouth to the greatest of your ability. In this way, the recovery of your nose will remain largely uninterrupted. My best advice would be to schedule a follow up visit with your surgeon, and to get your condition evaluated in person.

Tsujia, Masaharu and Kawaharab, Masashi and Nodab, Kenji and Sendab, Makoto and Sakob, Hiroshi and Kamob, Naohiro and Kawaharab, Takashi and Nor Kamarudin, Khairul Sozana (2009) Photochemical removal of NO2 by using 172-nm Xe2 excimer lamp in N2 or air at atmospheric pressure. Journal of Hazardous Materials, 162 (2-3). pp. 1025-1033. ISSN 0304-3894
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2008.05.136
Photochemical removal of NO2 in N2 or air (5–20% O2) mixtures was studied by using 172-nm Xe2 excimer lamps to develop a new simple photochemical aftertreatment technique of NO2 in air at atmospheric pressure without using any catalysts. When a high power lamp (300 mW/cm2) was used, the conversion of NO2 (200–1000 ppm) to N2 and O2 in N2 was >93% after 1 min irradiation, whereas that to N2O5, HNO3, N2, and O2 in air (10% O2) was 100% after 5 s irradiation in a batch system. In a flow system, about 92% of NO2 (200 ppm) in N2 was converted to N2 and O2, whereas NO2 (200–400 ppm) in air (20% O2) could be completely converted to N2O5, HNO3, N2, and O2 at a flow rate of 1 l/min. It was found that NO could also be decomposed to N2 and O2 under 172-nm irradiation, though the removal rate is slower than that of NO2 by a factor of 3.8. A simple model analysis assuming a consecutive reaction NO2 ? NO ? N + O indicated that 86% of NO2 is decomposed directly into N + O2 and the rest is dissociated into NO + O under 172-nm irradiation. These results led us to conclude that the present technique is a new promising catalyst-free photochemical aftertreatment method of NO2 in N2 and air in a flow system.
