ZZ Top & Jeff Beck
AVA Amphitheater
ZZ TOP a/k/a "That Little Ol' Band From Texas," lay undisputed claim to being the longest running major rock band with original personnel intact and in 2004 the Texas trio was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Of course, there are only three of them – Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill, Frank Beard — but it's still a remarkable achievement that they're still very much together after more than 40 years of rock, blues, and boogie on the road and in the studio. "Yeah," says Billy, guitarist extraordinaire, "we're the same three guys, bashing out the same three chords." With the release of each of their albums the band has explored new ground in terms of both their sonic approach and the material they've recorded. ZZ TOP is the same but always changing.
It was in Houston in the waning days of 1969 that ZZ TOP coalesced from the core of two rival bands, Billy's Moving Sidewalks and Frank and Dusty's American Blues. The new group went on to record the appropriately titled ZZ Top's First Album and Rio Grande Mud that reflected their strong blues roots. Their third, 1973's Tres Hombres, catapulted them to national attention with the hit "La Grange," still one of the band's signature pieces today. The song is unabashed elemental boogie, celebrating the institution that came to be known as "the best little whorehouse in Texas." Their next hit was "Tush," a song about, well, let's just say the pursuit of "the good life" that was featured on their Fandango! album released in 1975. The band's momentum and success built during its first decade, culminating in the legendary "World Wide Texas Tour," with a production that included a longhorn steer, a buffalo, buzzards, rattlesnakes and a Texas-shaped stage. As a touring unit, they've been without peer over the years, having performed before millions of fans through North America on numerous epochal tours as well as overseas where they've enthralled audiences from Slovenia to Italy, from Australia to Sweden, from Russia to Japan and most points in between. Their iconography – beards, cars, girls, and that magic keychain – seems to transcend all bounds of geography and language.
Following a lengthy hiatus during which the individual members of the band traveled the world, they switched labels (from British Decca's London label to Warner Bros.) and returned with two amazingly provocative albums, Deguello and El Loco. Their next release, Eliminator, was something of a paradigm shift for ZZ TOP. Their roots blues skew was intact but added to the mix were tech-age trappings that soon found a visual outlet with the nascent MTV. Suddenly, Billy, Dusty and Frank were video icons, playing a kind of Greek chorus in videos that highlighted the album's three smash singles: "Gimme All Your Lovin', "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Legs." The melding of grungy guitar-based blues with synth-pop was seamless and continued with the follow-up album Afterburner as they continued their chart juggernaut. ZZ TOP had accomplished the impossible; they had moved with the times while simultaneously bucking ephemeral trends that crossed their path. They had become more popular and more iconic without ever having to be "flavor of the week." They had become a certified rock institution, contemporary in every way, yet still completely connected to the founding fathers of the genre.
They stayed with Warner for one more album, Recycler, released in 1990 and switched to RCA where they debuted with Antenna and followed with Rhythmeen and XXX. Mescalero, their latest, is one of the deepest sets ever presented by the band with 16 tracks brimming with virtuoso musicianship, humorously enigmatic lyrics and even a track sung entirely in Spanish. Beyond that, both a lavish four CD box set compilation, Chrome, Smoke & B.B.Q. and a two-CD distillation of that package, Rancho Texicano, were released in recent years by Warner Bros.
The elements that keep ZZ TOP fresh, enduring and above the transitory fray can be summed up in the three words of the band's internal mantra: "Tone, Taste and Tenacity." Of course, the three members of the band have done their utmost to do their part in assuring that ZZ TOP prevails. As genuine roots musicians, the members of the band have few peers. Billy is widely regarded as one of American finest blues guitarists working in the rock idiom. His influences are both the originators of the form – Muddy Waters, B.B. King, et al – as well as the British blues rockers who emerged the generation before ZZ's ascendance. In his early days of playing, no less an idol that Jimi Hendrix singled him out for praise. Part mad scientist, part prankster, he's a musical innovator of the highest order.
Dusty has long had an affinity for rock's origins; his earliest performances as a child included Elvis songs convincingly performed. Not only is he a bass virtuoso in his own right, his vocal prowess is awe-inspiring. He's the lead voice you hear on "Tush" and his ferocious vocals are heard, to great effect, on "Piece" on the new album. Good natured and diligent, Dusty is the rock solid bottom of ZZ TOP.
Frank has also been keeping the beat in that great tradition. As both a roots and progressive drummer, he has been acknowledged as key to the band's powerful on-stage and in-studio presence. He and Dusty, in their early years together, served as Lightnin' Hopkins' rhythm section which, as Frank tells it, was a life changing experience. Frank, despite his last name, is the guy in the band without a beard. But when you're with him, you're with a Beard. He's a rockin' paradox who provides the pulse of ZZ TOP.
ZZ TOP's music is always instantly recognizable, eminently powerful, profoundly soulful and 100% Texas American in derivation. The band's support for the blues is unwavering both as interpreters of the music and preservers of its legacy. It was ZZ TOP that celebrated "founding father" Muddy Waters by turning a piece of scrap timber than had fallen from his sharecropper's shack into a beautiful guitar, dubbed the "Muddywood." This totem was sent on tour as a fundraising focus for The Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Mississippi, site of Robert Johnson's famed "Crossroads" encounter with the devil. ZZ TOP's support and link to the blues remains as rock solid as the music they continue to play. They have sold millions of records over the course of their career, have been officially designated as Heroes of The State of Texas, have been referenced in countless cartoons and sitcoms and are true rock icons but, against all odds, they're really just doing what they've always done. They're real and they're surreal and they're ZZ TOP.
Legendary rock guitarist Jeff Beck has had one of the least flashy yet most influential careers in rock history.
Universally acknowledged as one of the most talented and influential guitarists in the world, Beck has played alongside some of the greatest artists of rock, blues and jazz, during his 40-plus years in the music industry. Now 69, he arose from the hallowed ground of garage rock idols The Yardbirds — the very same fertile soil that birthed fellow gods Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. A groundbreaking artist whose inimitable combination of primal shredding and cool perfectionism has won him eight Grammy awards and left an indelible mark on everything from hard rock and jazz fusion to rockabilly and techno, Beck has earned wide critical praised and twice been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
But it's his artistry in his live performances that have made his concerts the stuff of legend. Beck, who is about to release a new album, will take his new band on the road for the Jeff Beck World Tour 2014 in April. The tour will take in Japan, Australia, and various European dates including 6 in the UK. It follows last autumn's hugely successful U.S.-wide 18-city marathon with Brian Wilson, architect of the Beach Boys, during which the L.A. Times praised Beck's "mastery of the electric guitar" and "gorgeous tone" and Wilson said of him that he "plays the most goddamn greatest guitar you've ever heard."
For the 2014 tour, the musician whose genius for picking young talent first brought Rod Stewart to fame, will be accompanied by four brilliant musicians he brought together for the first time last year: bassist Rhonda Smith, guitarist Nic Meier, drummer Jonathan James and Lizzie Ball on violin.
Beck grew up in Wallington, England and between his mother's piano playing and the family radio tuned to everything from dance to classical; he was surrounded by music from a young age.
Beck famously replaced Eric Clapton as the Yardbirds' lead guitarist in 1965 and later went on to form The Jeff Beck Group, which featured Rod Stewart on vocals and Ron Wood on bass. Their two albums – "Truth" (1968) and "Beck-Ola" (1969) – would become musical touchstones for hard rockers in the years to come. The constantly evolving Beck's next move — a power trio with bassist Tim Bogert and drummer Carmine Appice, which released "Beck, Bogert and Appice" (1973) — once again shattered people's preconceptions of what a rock guitarist was supposed to sound like.
Music has always shared space with Jeff's love of hot rods. After the success of his groundbreaking 1975 jazz-fusion classic. "Blow By Blow" and "Wired," Beck began devoting more time to his fleet of cars, but 1985's "Flash" kept him in the spotlight as he earned the Best Rock Instrumental Grammy for the song "Escape." A second Grammy came with "Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop with Terry Bozzio and Tony Hymas", and a third for "Dirty Mind" from the "You Had It Coming" album in 2001.
A new direction came serendipitously after Brian Wilson heard Beck play at his MusiCares Person of the Year tribute in 2005. When Beck stepped up with Surf's Up, a dazzling new musical relationship was formed.
A triumphant 2009 brought many highlights including a sold-out world tour; Beck's second induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; the release of the platinum-selling Performing This Week… Live at Ronnie Scott's, which earned a Grammy nomination for "A Day In The Life"; and magnificent performances with his band at the 25th Anniversary Concert of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at Madison Square Garden.
In June 2010, Beck paid fitting tribute to his mentor, the great Les Paul, celebrating what would have been the pioneering guitarist's 95th birthday, by playing his friend's music, along with classic tunes from the era, in the same Times Square nightclub that Paul played every Monday for 14 years before his death in August 2009. During the celebration, Beck was joined on-stage at the Iridium Jazz Club by The Imelda May Band, along with other guest performers Brian Setzer, Gary "U.S." Bonds, and Trombone Shorty; he was to perform again with Imelda May on The Tonight Show in 2011. The celebration was filmed and recorded for later release.
Beck's astonishing 2010 solo album, Emotion & Commotion, complements the innovative tones he coaxes from his Stratocaster with a 64-piece orchestra. The remarkable combination shines on a range on songs, from Puccini's aria "Nessun Dorma" and "Elegy For Dunkirk" from the film Atonement to "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz and an interpretation of "Corpus Christi Carol." "What appealed to me was the idea of bringing together these seemingly incongruous styles on different kinds of nonclassical music."
The innovation paid off. In 2011 Beck was nominated in 5 categories for the Grammy Awards before bringing home three: Best Rock Instrumental Performance for "Hammerhead" and Best Pop Instrumental performance for "Nessun Dorma", both from Emotion & Commotion, and Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for "Imagine," his collaboration with Herbie Hancock. His Rock 'N' Roll Party Honoring Les Paul album was nominated for a 2012 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album, and in 2013, after a New York performance at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festival at Madison Square Garden, came the September-October North America tour with Wilson and Beck's latest musical protégés.
Throughout his career, Beck has been credited with finding and launching the careers of some of the most exciting new artists on the musical landscape. Adding to his early find of Rod Stewart as singer of the Jeff Beck Group in the 70's, his recent multiple performances with Imelda May at The Grammy's and the Tribute to Les Paul at the Iridium, with subsequent U.S. tour, have brought the singer to the U.S. public's attention, front and center. He has collaborated with Grammy-Award winning singer Imogen Heap and UK sensation Joss Stone on various albums. Over the last few years he has performed alongside singers Kelly Clarkson and Joss Stone on the most-watched U.S. television series to date, American Idol. In an exciting recent development, Beck's eye for new talent has brought him together in collaboration with New Orleans jazz-sensation Trombone Shorty, combining their talents for a roof-raising performance at the city's 2010 Jazz Festival and on a track featured on Shorty's 2011 album For True.
Beck's latest line-up sparkles with fresh talent. Bassist Rhonda Smith, who toured with Beck in 2011, plays smooth jazz/funk to electrified funk/rock and has worked with artists from Prince to Chaka Khan and Beyonce. Guitarist Nicolas Meier has carved a reputation out as one of the UK's most original musicians, drawing on a love of Turkish and Eastern music, flamenco, tango and jazz. Jonathan Joseph has played with many of the world's greats, drumming for acclaimed artists including Al Jarreau, Ricky Martin, the contemporary jazz band Yellow Jackets, bassist Richard Bona and singer Joss Stone, and first played with Beck at Crossroads.

I don't know if I can explain this properly, but I've come to notice this weird trance-like state I get into at times.
It started this week when some stressful work-related stuff happened, triggering financial insecurity feelings. Perceived behaviour by coworkers and manager made me feel really ostracized. It seemed to put me onto some sort of high-alert, where I felt more intensely vulnerable than usual. I'm left zapped of energy, anxious and paranoid.
My reflex is to isolate. My sleeping has been awful the past several days. I feel an eery depression and I just want to be alone. I'm thinking that my boyfriend must be thinking of dumping me, that my employers are plotting to fire me, and that people I thought were becoming friends are trying to avoid me.
It doesn't feel real. It feels like I am in a trance, like this feeling is something I go into and I don't know any recourse other than just waiting till it passes. I hate it though. I feel really scared.
On a different (but perhaps related) note: I was watching this program on public television today about the effects of school bullying. I was constantly bullied at primary school. This, along with other abusive/neglectful childhood stuff, has given me this avoidant tendency (I believe).
So anyway, this woman on the show said that studies have shown that those who have been bullied on an on-going basis (not just once or twice) have underdeveloped brains. The hypothalumus is actually smaller as a result of bullying (not sure how they know this, I haven't looked at the study so this is hearsay).
I thought it was interesting. Maybe my brain has been physiologically messed up by childhood trauma and that's why I find life more difficult. I wish I was still seeing my therapist so I could ask about this.

The distance between my nose and lips is too long, and from profile, my lips lie flat. Is there a non-surgical procedure to correct this. One surgeon said filler could LENGTHEN the distance from nose to lip by pulling my lip down. Can filler be used to curl my lip upward to give the illusion of a shorter distance, and would filler in my lateral cheeks help, not only this problem, but also my downturned lips and jowls?
Non-surgical Procedure to Shorten Distance from Nose to Lips
Doctor Answers 3
Treatment of the long upper lip
Your concerns are visible in the photo. The treatment modalities we have available to shorten the upper lip include:
1. laser resurfacing of the upper lip
2. excision of skin along the lower edge of the nose
3. excision of skin along the upper edge of where you normally wear lipstick
4. a subperiosteal midfacelift
5. removal of a wafer of bone above the upper teeth
Each of these procedures has its pros and cons. None of them can give you a guaranteed amount of upper lip shortening. 1 can leave you with permanent pigmentation changes that have to be camouflaged with makeup. The main drawbacks of 2 and 3 are visible skin scars unnatural lip shape that can be very unsightly. 4 is performed through incisions inside the mouth and can cause weakness of some of the facial muscles. 5 is only indicated in patients with long facial bones and these patients will still need a skin procedure to achieve the desired result. In my open no amount of fillers or botox will shorten the upper lip. Filler injection into the lip itself can curl the lip upward as you suggest but in your case I do not think that will camouflage the length very much. The could thing is you can have a short lived filler or even some saline that only lasts a few hours injected to see if you this gives you any improvement.
Subnasal lip lift
Fillers and uppr lip
The upper lip line can be filed a bit, and this may give the illusion of a shorter upper lip...but it may not.

Case Studies: Johnson Matthey
Johnson Matthey an international speciality chemicals company, founded almost 200 years ago, wanted to put a 10 year business strategy in place to promote collaboration and communication across the organisation. Johnson Matthey wanted to update their systems to be able to achieve this and by working with Combined Knowledge and partners developed and designed the myJM collaboration platform.
Watch the video story from The SharePoint Evolutions Conference London 2013.
Johnson Matthey's vision for the myJM project:
"To transform JM into an information rich organisation with staff competent in the use of powerful communication and collaboration techniques that supports the business aspirations of the Group. As a consequence our existing and future workforce will become more efficient, productive, and capable of delivering the innovation and progress needed to achieve JM's strategic business objectives within the next decade"
A key element in ensuring successful adoption of myJM was for Johnson Matthey to select an education partner that was recognised in the industry as being a leading supplier of SharePoint Education with the ability to help them develop training and support solutions to meet the needs of the business.
Combined Knowledge were delighted to be selected by Johnson Matthey to be their education partner for this project, confident that we could meet the key elements that were considered critical to Johnson Matthey in the success of the project.
Quoted by Johnson Matthey..
'Effective training is critical to the successful adoption of myJM across Johnson Matthey'.
Johnsons Matthey's key training objective was:
To give users the knowledge, understanding and confidence to start using myJM immediately after training.
As specialists in content creation and customised learning solutions, Combined Knowledge was able to create tailored content based on the myJM environment and clearly define the steps Super Users and General Users would need to understand, leading to effective hands on training that enabled Users to leave the classroom with the confidence and ability to put what they had learnt into practice immediately.
We worked with Johnson Matthey to create a bespoke User and Super User training course that was delivered to 1,400 R&D employees throughout Europe and the USA in the format of hands on classroom training.
Alongside the practical exercises incorporated in the training we developed and supported the classes with quality course materials and lab guides designed to help the users during the training course and provide them with post training reference content.
Johnson Matthey was keen for the training sessions to be delivered in the classroom at their global R&D sites for the first training roll out. With Combined Knowledge's ability to train anywhere in the world we then conducted both classroom and online training ensuring that a user based at Johnson Matthey in Royston, UK, gained the same knowledge and best practices as their colleague in the USA or the Netherlands, thus ensuring good best practice across the environment and throughout the organisation.
Education is Combined Knowledge's passion and our trainers having been involved in the development of the content, have the ability to live and breathe the product and demonstrate a sound knowledge of what the user needs to know to ensure successful user adoption.
This understanding was demonstrated in our ability to develop for Johnson Matthey a myJM specific educational programme including online help and How To video's for instant support on demand.
Combined Knowledge extended our deliverables beyond classroom training in 2009 and invested heavily in the development of Support+ our on-demand support product that provides organisations with access to On-line help. This product was integrated into the myJM environment for users to access as and when they need support. Due to the customised nature of myJM Combined Knowledge also created 20 myJM specific tasks related how-to videos that are now being introduced to a global audience to further enhance their knowledge of the myJM environment.
Following the successful delivery of this project, Combined Knowledge has since been selected to continue working with Johnson Matthey to support them with their Enterprise Activation – introducing approximately 9,000 users to the myJM environment globally including the delivery of online workshops and the development of quick reference supporting documentation.

Under the new rules, current family child-care providers have five years to get the educational credentials they need. Other rule changes enhance food safety and playground safety. A new national report ranks Washington second in the country for its oversight of home-based child care and screening of child-care workers.
Next, the DEL is turning its attention to updating the rules for before- and after-school programs for school-age children. The current rules are more than 90 pages long. Some providers say they gave detailed input more than a year ago, but the process appeared to stall with the state budget crisis. Blondin says the agency plans to draft new rules this year.
"We want to hear from parents. They know what's best for their children, and they should inform this process of updating the rules. We want to hear from parents, providers – anyone who has an opinion or an idea about these rules as we're going through this process."
Public hearings have been held in Moses Lake and Pasco, and continue today in Vancouver and Tuesday in Seattle, at the Department of Early Learning offices in both those cities. Comments also can be submitted online until April 30.
The public meetings at DEL offices are scheduled today from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 907 Harney St., Vancouver, and Tuesday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at 3600 S. Graham St., Seattle. The proposed rules and a comment submission form are available at apps.del.wa.gov/PolicyProposalComment/Detail.aspx.

There was once a time when parents would toss their kids in the back seat, turn the key and drive. No longer. Messaging and publicity about the issue of car safety has given rise to dozens of types of carseats, each seemingly requiring a masters degree to install properly.
New numbers show one in four parents say they are lax about carseat use.
This week, cities and towns across the country, including ones in the Delaware Valley, are holding car seat checkup events to make sure parents have done it right. NewsWorks Tonight Producer, Shai Ben-Yaacov, spoke with Kate Carr, President and CEO of Safe Kids Worldwide--an organization dedicated to child safety.

S.T.A.R.S. Alpha team – Jill Valetine and Chris Redfield both explored the
building on 7/25 and today 8/5 they still can't find the cure for T-virus.
They still need to carefully find the cure.
They heard but unsure that the former employee – Albert Wesker (Alpha team's
leader) has died. We got information that Jill and Chris are trying to let
the police and media to know about it. Another member of the U.B.C.S. is

Report 2
I am at the clock tower in Raccoon City. The city is occupied by zombies.
Raccoon City was destroyed by biohazard, but this time this modern building
is different from biohazard. Our investigators also discovered T-virus and
G-virus. Dr. Birkin intentionally caused the accidents.
Two things I need to do as the result of the investigation:
1. Need to reinforce the security system of virus.
2. Reeducate all employee1s of U.B.C.S.
The biological weapon will be very valuable. From now on, we will try to
avoid the biohazard.
1998 10/6
It's hard to collect information about virus data regarding B.O.W.,
especially about Tyrant. We try to go after the New B.O.W. The target is
violent and smart. The U.B.C.S. members who were sent there had a hard time
and eventually sacrificed.
I need to analyze the data and discover more about the data.
Andy's Diary
I haven't met this guy Vincent yet, and since couple months ago he became
chief of the city. Vincent seems to be an elite but he actually does
anything to get promoted, he even killed his coworkers. I live in the
underground, so I don't have anything to do with it.
I heard a bad rumor. Vincent ordered factory employees to treat young people
that were gathered around the world with cruelty. I'm not sure why young
people come here, but I don't feel good about it.
Something happened last night. I'm not sure about the detail. I think
Vincent did something cruel.
Today I finally met Vincent. We had a casual talk. Vincent looked mean.
When I try to take a picture with him, he got mad.
Prison Chief's Diary
Today I got answer of the mass suicide. 20 bodies were found from Umbrella.
Umbrella does have a doubt about the suicide of the materials (young people).
Vincent ordered me to do it. The truth is that the prisoners were escaped
from jail. I have to make a fake report about the mass suicide.
If I don't follow the order, I will be killed. I still remember Vincent shot
the young people who try to escape from the jail. Vincent has a cruel smile
with no blood and tear. I should report the truth, but I am afraid. I don't
know what to do.
Prisoner's Diary
It's been 16 days since some men in black try to take young people to the
prison. We have no idea why we come here. Now we know about the city.
We've noticed that Umbrella tries to use us like rats for experiment. Every
single citizen is a member of Umbrella. Women and kids are all family
members of Umbrella employees.
Rats (young people) are collected from all over the world. Person from the
next jail cell is from China, across is from Brazil and on the other side of
the cell is from Japan… it's like a world expo. Young people are all about
the same age. The age ranges from 16 to 19 or 20.
Umbrella's employees take young people to arcade and nightclub and try to
relieve their stress. But somehow young people still want to escape. We
want more freedom.
Recently, our friends are acting weird. It seems like there is poison in our
food. Sometime I lose consciousness too. I need to be more careful.
Help me! Today one of our friends (Chen) was taken to the factory on the top
of the mountain. Chen lives in the jail cell that's next to mine. Last week
Anna and Jacob were also taken to the mountain and haven't returned yet. I
know what they will do to them.
Vincent ordered the factory employees to cut the brains and extract some kind
of material from the brains. Yesterday they took me to the club and I heard
the employees talking. "Vincent is a devil" it's not just Vincent. Even
women and children treated us like rats not human beings. Everyone in this
city are devils. I have to have a plan to escape from this city.
Chance has come. This week there's a rumor about an accident in Umbrella's
lab in America. The prison guards were busy collecting information about the
accident. The guards are not watching us as carefully as before. We are
ready to escape. Stoikovic and Enrique will steal the key. Sanco and I will
act as member of the Sun Movement. Yoshikawa and Felipe are responsible to
get weapons.
We've decided which route to take. Tonight, we are going to escape at 11.
20 members will be divided into 2 groups. Group A and Group B. Group A will
escape from the ventilation opening through the basement of the security
tower to the gutter. Group B will escape from the security tower using rope
to the city streets. We can use the rope that they used to tie us. If we
fail, we are going to get killed by Vincent. But if we stayed, we are going
to get killed anyway.
Restaurant Manager's Diary
I heard an unbelievable story. Last week one of the small city (Raccoon
City) was destroyed. People who lived there changed to some weird monsters.
There's no real human being. I heard that the accident have something to do
with Umbrella. Even though it happened oversea, Umbrella is a big company so
we have to watch out. I hope nothing will happen to this city.
I heard the story today that the person who destroyed Raccoon City was
William Birkin. He created the T-virus and G-Virus and tries to fight with
Umbrella. He even injected the virus into his body and turned into a
monster. The virus spread through the rats from the gutter and eventually
spread to the city.
What am I going to do? I heard from the customers (employees of Umbrella)
who were eating lunch here that the T-virus is in this city also. They were
laughing and said that it's not going to happen in this city. I have a doubt
about it. I was hired by Umbrella because Umbrella paid me a lot of money.
But I am sick and tired of running this restaurant dealing with employees of
Umbrella. Before anything happens, I must escape.
Secret File
(Authorized Personnel Only)
This file contains the accidental spread of T-virus. There were two
accidents. First accident happened 4 months ago in Raccoon City. Second, in
Arklay lab in America 4 month earlier and a new creature was created by
B.O.W. There may be more B.O.W. than listed.
B.O.W File #1 (Zombie)
Zombies are like human beings except they are infected with T-virus. Zombies
have lost their sense and are always hunger for human flesh.
How to deal with them:
They are very slow. They are easy to kill from a distant.
B.O.W. File #2 (Dog)
Dogs that are infected with T-virus. Their flesh are fresher compare to
zombies' so they attack much faster. With good hearing, they can attack from
a distant if they hear your footsteps.
How to deal with them:
Use handgun, but since they are very fast it is hard to aim.
B.O.W. File #3 (Licker)
Lickers are zombies that are infected with T-virus. They walk with 4 legs
and their brain is visible. They are very fast and responsive. Lickers are
unable to see but they can hear very well.
How to deal with them:
Lickers attack to sound so watch out when you shot them. They are also
sensitive to footsteps. It's dangerous to run around them.
B.O.W. File #4 (Plant)
The plant gets steam from the surface of its skin, so it can move around. It
attack with its whips.
How to deal with them:
Load Grenade Launcher with flame rounds to kill the Plants.
B.O.W. File #5 (Hunter)
Originally human being infected with T-virus and their DNA has been changed.
They have strong muscle in the lower half of their bodies, so they can jump
very high.
How to deal with them:
When they attack, they pause for a moment. The moment that they pause is the
best time to attack.
B.O.W. File #6 (Tyrant)
Weird form of B.O.W. with T-virus. They are more dangerous than the original
form of Tyrant. They are also more intelligent and were developed in Europe.
How to deal with them:
There's no way to attack. Since they are very powerful, there's nothing you
can do about it.
B.O.W. File #7 ( )
Something in process. Growing Tyrant's gene and try to add some materials in
the gene in order to produce a more dangerous B.O.W. But there is a problem.
Vincent's Diary
Last night, materials (young people) escaped from the jail and stole weapons.
I killed all materials by myself. It's not good if Umbrella finds this out.
I planned to go back to the headquarter and get reward or promotion for what
I've done for the city. I order him (Prison Chief) to report the accident as
a mass suicide. I have to shut other people's mouth too if they talk about
the accident.
People in the city who oppose me are trying to complain to the headquarter.
Yesterday, Rott told me something about a spy in the city. I am going to use
him to get information now and I am going to terminate him. I feel sad that
Rott is the only person that I can trust.
Members of the city is trying to prepare a report about me and give it to the
headquarter. I heard they've got some kind of evidence. I am not going to
let them do that. I am not going to forgive the people in the city. I am
going to teach them what happens if they don't listen.
I show people when I am really mad. I spread the T-virus to the whole city.
I can pretend it's an accident. Now I can go back to the headquarter of
Umbrella. I have to terminate that one rat (spy) that sneaked into the city.
Vincent's Tapping Record
We can't let Vincent do terrible things anymore. To destroy him, we have to
get evidence to report to the headquarter. It's hard to gather evidence
about Vincent. We try to record his phone conversation and finally we got
evidence to destroy him. This recording has information about the escaped
materials that were killed by Vincent and how he tried to hide the facts.
Before Vincent was position in this leader position, he even killed his
coworker in order to get what he wanted.. If I give this record to the
headquarter next week, I'm sure he will be terminated. It's going to be
peaceful in the city again.
Rott's Diary
Today I saw people who were in prison. They all looked sleepy. Some people
looked at me as their enemy. They wore dirty clothes and they smell very
bad. My dad and Vincent said they are different kind of people. My dad said
he is going to take them to this island and perform surgery on them and help
I heard Vincent killed prisoners who escaped from the prison. Why did this
happen? I am sure he is smart, but he didn't have to kill them. Why?
Umbrella and my dad suppose to help them out, why did they kill them?
Everyone panic in the city. Lots of monster and dead people. Even some
uncles who were nice to me yesterday try to attack me today. Somebody help!
My dad and mom also became monsters. Vincent changed all people to monsters.
There's no adult I can trust. So now I have to live by myself. I also have
to save my little sister Lily and we are going to escape from this city
Factory Employee's Diary
I had enough. Everyday young innocent people are tied in surgery room and no
anesthetics were used. They cut young people's skull and extract part of the
brain. Afterward, young people cry and scream when they go to bed. Vincent
said "Don't treat them as human, they are only materials used for making
Tyrant." I can't think like that, they are still human beings. I ask him to
use anesthetics for surgery but if it is used, we can't get pure Beta Hetero
NonSerotonin. This is only an order. I am not sure if I am allow to do
this. I know if I die, I am going to hell. Maybe I am in hell right now.
How to Extract Beta Hetero NonSerotonin
To produce many Tyrants, we need large amount of Beta Hetero NonSerotonin in
order to grow Tyrant gene. This Beta Hetero NonSerotonin can be extracted
from part of the brain. Only certain age group (16 – 19) healthy and mature
bodies can be used. Beta Hetero NonSerotonin can't be extracted from a dead
brain. That's why no anesthetics was used during surgery.
Church Manager's Diary
Vincent called every department of the city to attend a meeting and we all
got the report regarding the accident in Raccoon City. During the meeting,
lots of people blamed William Birkin for trying to keep the G-virus to
himself. People like William Birkin who betrayed the company must be killed.
I believe Vincent is telling us to do the right thing. This city is supposed
to be a very important lab for Umbrella and we should not have any hazard.
If biohazard happens, we are going to lose millions of dollars on

North Andover, Swampscott
Newly appointed town manager Andrew Maylor, currently Swampscott's town administrator, announced Tuesday he would resign his position as chairman of the Essex Regional Retirement System effective Dec. 1. Maylor's resignation is a result of a state law that requires the appointee be from outside the retirement system. Because North Andover is a member of the system, Maylor has to resign the chairman's post prior to commencing employment with the town. He is scheduled to begin his duties as town manager Dec. 16. - Katheleen Conti

Girls Gone Wild Founder Joe Francis' Wife Of 2 Months Dumps Him
Prepared to be stunned, ladies? Girls Gone Wild founder and general sleazebag Joe Francis has been left by his wife of less than two months. I know! I didn't see it coming either. Frankly, what I did find shocking was that any woman would marry him in the first place, but I guess there's a green zebra for everyone. So, who would marry this jerk in the first place? That'd be Christina McLarty, an entertainment reporter for L.A.'s KCAL9. She went to NYU, is the niece of Bill Clinton's former chief-of-staff Mark McLarty, and she's from Arkansas. I guess we all make mistakes. Apparently, she was Francis' girlfriend of four years. The two were married last month in a lavish wedding held at the groom's Mexico estate. "I'm not sure if she is still driving the S500 Mercedes he let her use or if she still has her $500K engagement ring, but she definitely moved out of his Bel Air home," a source told Radar. Well, I guess that explains some of it.

I have a 6mm BullBerry Improved.
This is based on a shortened 30-30 case necked to 6mm, and Ackley Improved.
Best I remember this is how I formed the cases.
30-30 Sizing Die
7X30 Waters Sizing Die
25-35 Sizing Die
6 BB IMP Sizing Die
Trimmed the case to length. Could have been after the 25-35 sizing die.
Inside Neck Reamed
One Bad Looking Case when you are done. On the Box my data says 70 grain Ballistic Tip, 2930 fps
I would probably have went with a 223 Super 14 barrel if I were to do this one over again.
I have a 6.5X30JDJ also based off a 30-30 case only full length. Not nearly as much trouble to form cases. Good performance also.
A 6mmx30-30 AI might not be terrible. I would get ahold of someone with one first and see how much of a pain it is to form cases for it.
My vote is for a 223 barrel. Brass is easy to get. No problem with case forming. Reasonable performance. Reloading Dies are cheap. You should already own them.
If you decide a 6-TCU sounds good, contact me for a Die Set. I have a set of Thompson Center Dies (Hornady Duracrome) I would part with.
Good Luck

"Chemistry is just like cooking, except you can't lick the spoon!"
By training I'm a chemist, though what I do in the lab is far what most people imagine when they think of a chemist. When I say I'm a chemist, I'm sure most people imagine the mad scientist surrounded by glassware, odd colored liquids, and smoking test tubes (come to think of it, this is how I imagine organic chemists!). But the chemistry I do doesn't involve any of those things. I don't wear a lab coat, gloves, or safety goggles (though I do wear laser glasses). I haven't even synthesized anything in a lab in over 3 years. I think part of me misses that, which is why I find it very relaxing to cook.
I don't like to follow a recipe, though. I cook in the style of "a dash of this" and "a pinch of that". If my wife really likes something I've cooked she knows to enjoy the moment because she'll never have that exact dish again. That's not to say my wife doesn't like my cooking, she just knows that every meal will be different.
Usually when I'm cooking my mind turns to chemistry. In particular I've been thinking of the Maillard reaction. Though you may not have heard it of it before, I'm sure you've seen it. Just take a look at this amazing piece of chicken I fried up tonight:
|Ok, so maybe I wrote this as an excuse to post this picture. At least I haven't added a filter or something...
The browning on the outside of the chicken is due to the Maillard reaction, which happens when amino acids react with sugar in the presence of heat. You'll see it in toast, roasted coffee, maple syrup, caramels, and much more. From that list I'm sure you'll agree that the reaction can create a wide variety of taste. Understanding and utilizing the reaction is the basis of the food industry.
The following paragraph is written by a physical chemist. Like I said I haven't done "real" chemistry in years.
The process occurs in three stages. First, the carbonyl group of a sugar reacts with an amino acid to produce water and glycosylamine. Then, the glycosylamine pushes a hydrogen around (which is my simplistic - and wrong - way of describing an Amadori rearrangement, but I'll admit it I had to look that up) to produce a variety of aminoketones. In the final step a host of other products are produced depending on the pH, the temperature, and amino acids involved. These different products are why the Maillard reaction creates such a wide variety of tastes.
So my question to other chemists that read this is - do you enjoy cooking? For you synthetic chemists, does it feel too much like work to be enjoyable? Let me know in the comments!

This resto is located on King St W, just west of University Ave.
Went for a birthday dinner last Saturday. The decor is amazing and the service was very good but the food and drinks was just ok. They did have a lot of choice and accommodated vegetarians, people who were allergic to certain ingredients etc. They have a dim sum menu but it was limited during dinner.
Their dim sum rated a bit better than their regular dinner menu. I ordered fresh shrimp rolls and they were ok. My friends ordered the tom yum soup, har gow, chicken satay and grilled salmon. The only stand out was the har gow.
While we were leaving at 10 pm, they were setting up for an event. So the only way I will go back is to have a few drinks and attend a Saturday night event.
It reminded me of a dressed up "Spring Rolls". So I guess chowhounds, that just says it all.

[Video] Park Jung Hyun has her First Kiss Scene in 15 years for New MV
For her eighth album, parallax, Park Jung Hyun became a bit daring and challenged herself to a kiss scene for her new music video.
The music video for her new single Sorry was revealed on July 13 through T Entertainment's official Youtube channel. Actors Cha Seung Won, Kim Won Jun, and new rising star, Ahn Ki Young made appearances in the video, portraying the three men in Park Jung Hyun's life.
Park Jung Hyun filmed her first kiss scene for the first time in 15 years since her debut. Although there was no actual lip contact, Park Jung Hyun was said to have been nervous and breathed a sigh of relief when the scene was finished.
T Entertainment said, "In the music video, she had to show an image of an innocent girl and a femme fatale and we worried that the filming would take a while as she's not used to acting, but Park Jung Hyun was able to smoothly get through the filming, surprising the staff.
With her crystal clear sweet vocals, Park Jung Hyun sings about getting over a man who has betrayed her.
Viewers were excited to see Park Jung Hyun's return to the music scene after not releasing an official album since 2009.
She made her stage comeback on Mnet's M Countdown on July 12.

FBI Denies Requesting Data From Carrier IQ
FBI director Robert Mueller this week denied that the agency has sought information from Carrier IQ.
"We have neither sought nor obtained any information from Carrier IQ in any one of our investigations," Mueller said at a Wednesday hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Mueller appeared before the committee to discuss the FBI in general, but Sen. Al Franken used his time to quiz the director about Carrier IQ. Franken recently penned a letter to the Carrier IQ CEO, asking for more details about how its technology works.
The company made headlines in recent weeks after a researcher, Trevor Eckhart, suggested that the technology is secretly embedded on many popular phones and can gather personal data about users. Carrier IQ said its technology is used for diagnostic purposes and denied logging keystrokes or being able to read the content of emails, text messages, or Web sites.
The FBI got involved amidst unconfirmed reports that the agency was using Carrier IQ for its mobile-related inquiries. That prompted Michael Morisy of Muckrock News to file a FOIA request for "manuals, documents or other written guidance used to access or analyze data gathered by programs developed or deployed by Carrier IQ." But on Dec. 7, the FBI denied that request, arguing that the records in question were related to "a pending or prospective law enforcement proceeding," and their release might "interfere with the enforcement proceedings."
Yesterday, Mueller said "there was some confusion" surrounding the FOIA request. The FBI's response cited a "standard exemption," he said, "and from that, it was extrapolated that perhaps we were obtaining information from Carrier IQ. As I said, we are not, have not, and do not have any information from Carrier IQ."
When asked about the FBI earlier this month, a Carrier IQ spokeswoman confirmed Mueller's statement, saying the company "has never provided any data to the FBI."
"If approached by a law enforcement agency, we would refer them to the network operators because the diagnostic data collected belongs to them and not Carrier IQ," she continued. "Carrier IQ's data is not designed to address the special needs of law enforcement. The diagnostic data that we capture is mostly historical and won't reveal where somebody is and what they are doing on a real-time basis."
Sen. Franken also asked Mueller if the FBI had ever encountered data collected by Carrier IQ in its investigations involving wireless carriers.
"Have we sought data collected by Carrier IQ? I do not believe so," he said. But data sought in FBI investigations can be very far-reaching, and Mueller said he'd have to double check before providing a definitive answer.
Earlier this week, the Washington Post reported that Carrier IQ was under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission, citing anonymous sources, but Carrier IQ denied it.
"We are not under investigation," she said. "We sought the meetings with FCC and FTC in the interest of transparency and full disclosure, and to answer their questions."
In the midst of the FBI issue, meanwhile, Carrier IQ on Tuesday released a 19-page document dubbed "Understanding Carrier IQ," which delves into the company's technology.

Axiom rings true for those who took out subprime mortgages
I only retained one nugget of information from an economics class I took back in my college days, and that was �there is no such thing as a free lunch � someone�s got to pay for it.�
I found that phrase catchy. As I recall, the professor noted that the �no free lunch rule� was one of the most important theories we would learn in his class, and I�m beginning to understand why.
This week, I went out on the street to ask passersby to assess the shape of the economy in light of the avalanche of defaulted home mortgages that has left the stock market fluctuating wildly. (See Query, Page 4.) I discovered a lack of consensus about the economy, leading me to believe I�m not the only one who is confused.
Of five people questioned � all of whom were chosen strictly because they were the first ones to walk by and agree to talk � no two responded the same. My unscientific survey revealed that the economy is viewed by people on the street as, at best �fair,� at worst �poor,� �scary� to some, predictable to others and � my personal favorite � totally uninteresting.
Maybe one of those people who sped by me, refusing to comment, would have been a little more optimistic, but we�ll never know. They didn�t have the time to discuss the economy. Maybe, that�s because they�re confused, too.
On a more optimistic note, the top headline on The Dallas Morning News� Business Section, Wednesday, Aug. 22, read, �Area CEOs see growth, raises on the horizon.�
It was encouraging to read that, according to a survey by Southern Methodist University�s Cox School of Business, Dallas-Fort Worth�s chief executives are optimistic about the economy and plan to give their employees a raise in 2008.
But then I turned the page.
The top headline read, �All of Fed�s tools will be used in crisis.� I learned that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke had agreed to use �all of the tools at his disposal to restore stability in financial markets roiled by the subprime mortgage crisis.�
That didn�t sound too good. It seemed to confirm we are in a crisis.
Then lower on the page in the Briefs section I read, �Thrifts� troubled assets highest in 14 years.�
There, I learned that �U.S. savings and loans held more troubled assets in the second quarter than at any time in the past 14 years as more families fell behind on their mortgage payments.�
On another inside page, I learned that the stock market continued to be erratic as �investors wait to see if the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates in an effort to help contain the credit crisis,� and that �confusion and uncertainty of risk is creating this liquidity problem.�
Finally, I noted in another brief that Capital One Financial Corp was closing down a mortgage unit and slashing 1,900 jobs.
Talk about unsettling news coverage, despite the good news item on the front page of the Business Section.
It�s got to be really tough for real estate agents and other professionals in the housing industry. Not only are they reading the newspaper and getting concerned and confused the same as I am, they have to keep clients interested in buying and selling homes. That�s got to be difficult. For the seller, they�re at the mercy of buyers who know they are in a buyer�s market and can call the shots for the first time in years. For the buyers, they must be wondering whether to purchase now or to wait for bigger bargains that may be waiting around the corner.
The Dallas real estate market has remained stable, according to local real estate agents, but it�s hard to ignore what�s going on across the nation. It�s the same with the stock market. Should an investor buy now at a low price, or wait for it to get lower? Or should an investor sell now at a loss in an effort to cut their losses?
What a dilemma.
As near as I can tell, the bottom line for the average homeowning, meager investor like me is to just sit tight and wait to see what happens. I�m going to leave the proactive plans to those who are a little more willing to take a risk � and younger.
But I have realized something. There truly is no free lunch. All of those subprime mortgages that were given to people whose credit wasn�t up to par or to people who were buying a more expensive house than they could afford � they stimulated the economy in years past, but we�re paying for them now.

In an unprecedented performance, a lifelike hologram of the late Tupac Shakur hit Coachella's main stage last night during Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's headlining set, performing classics "Hail Mary" and "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted." Envisioned by Dr. Dre and executed by AV Concepts and curator Nick Smith, the four-minute holographic performance by the late hip-hop icon cost quite a bit to execute. Speaking to MTV about the project, Smith shared some insight into the realization of Dr. Dre's idea:
We worked with Dr. Dre on this and it was Dre's vision to bring this back to life," said Nick Smith, president of AV Concepts, the San Diego company that created the hologram. "It was his idea from the very beginning and we worked with him and his camp to utilize the technology to make it come to life. You can take their likenesses and voice and … take people that haven't done concerts before or perform music they haven't sung and digitally recreate it.
The Tupac hologram was several months in the planning and took nearly four months to create in a studio and though Smith was not able to reveal the exact price tag for the illusion, he said a comparable one could cost anywhere from $100,000 to more than $400,000 to pull off. "I can't say how much that event cost, but I can say it's affordable in the sense that if we had to bring entertainers around world and create concerts across the country, we could put [artists] in every venue in the country.

Jimmy you just spoiled my Nanoha/Cente Gravia plot!!! XD
But really, how does a non-functioning gate have a chance of regenerating into a new defence program? It can't even run itself anymore.

The Saint's Union Ratification Ceremonial Hall
9nd Administrated World, Artemis
Saint's Union Ratification Ceremonial Hall
As the Union was of many walks of life, so varied were the ships in the lagoon adorning the Ceremonial Hall. From the smallest people carriers of tiny self-administered regions to the mighty battleships of the Three Pillars of Belka, they now cast aside all pretense of power and hummed side by side, as their rulers gathered to make another milestone in the tumultuous history of Ordered Space.
And in the sky flew the colors of the soon-to-be-born nation, Saint's Union. The two-headed eagle dressed with a Belka Kreuz was now framed by a polished shield. It was a sign of the times being cleansed of its sinful past, forever soaring towards a new dawn.
On the ground, cameras from every angle buzzed to life under the watchful eyes of Shari and Chrono. The bay, the press hall, the parade square, all was in order. Chrono could not help it but beam with pride; Shari nodded back and returned to her work, humming a tune of her own.
"Yes… And yes, preparations for dimension-wide broadcast are complete." Chrono spoke to the floating holo-window as he continued to eye the multitude of screens at the media team's panel. "I will have Grand Meister Kha and General Hayate standby in the waiting room then… Yes…"
"Thank you, Chrono." Kia replied as she clasped the chain draped around her mantle into place. "I will come to the hall after I meet with the representatives from the ex-Bureau and Belka Aligned Territories."
And she hung up.
"You've finally reached your big day, Kia." Chacha spoke suddenly, not looking up from her magazine on Inner Space's fine cheeses.
"Huh?" Kia smirked. "I swear my wedding caused a bigger stir than this
"Are you sure about that?" The magical being dead-panned in return.
"Definitely ne." Kia admired her make-up for a bit. "Why don't you want to join us up there, if its my big day?"
"I'm a background player and you know that."
"But- but-" Kia feigned an innocent tone. "You were my bridesmaid
"That's 'cause you bribed me!" Chacha stuck her tongue.
"I could sponsor you another year's of Milano's if you wish, C2." Kia winked.
"Missed your chance, I'm on a diet now," Chacha sighed, then lowered her paper. "Good luck."
Kia smiled. "Well, I'll be going then."
She draped her cape around her power armor, and stepped through the sliding doors.
Meanwhile, at the United States of Belka Representative's Private Room...
"Th- the content of the SU Charter will be explained by Supreme Council Chairperson… Ca-cardinal Carym Garcia..." Vivio stuttered a little as she read the script of her speech, then let out a breath mixed with anxiety and frustration.
"What's the matter?" Kha quipped. "Maybe I should—"
Vivio reacted instantly. "Eh? No, Kha-nii. I should—"
"—do it, Empress Vivio." Sophia smiled.
Vivio looked at Sophia and nodded brightly. "Um!"
Then she took a look at the script, then smacked the page on her face, as if to absorb the contents by diffusion.
"…but I must admit this is harder than I thought," filtered her muffled reply through the booklet, sparking some chuckling from her two high-ranked attendents.
Vivio peeked over her booklet cutely. "Mou! Stop laughing already! I have to get this in my head before Carym-san gets back here! As empress, this is the least I could do!"
The knights laughed a bit more as Vivio went back to work.
"I feel bad for having to place this burden on such an adorable child."
Sophia spoke in thought.
"No need to do so, Sofie,"
Kha replied across the mental link.
Vivio, is far more ready for this than we give her credit for."
"But still…"
Sophia then looked at Kha.
"Are you alright, Kha?"
The Cleric Knight replied, his face hardening up again.
"We have to do this."
It was clear, the anguish in the Knight's actions.
Patrick, clearly having a drink too much, had his arm around a long-suffering Vice Granscenic, yelling merrily at the top of his voice. "See? See? Following Kia was the right thing,no?"
"Yeah…" Vice sweat-dropped. "By the way, is C2 joining us?"
"She passed." Alto replied. "I think—
"—probably wolfed down too many pizzas and having a tummy-ache!" Patrick burst out and cackled.
"Patrick-taichou, I think you are having a spot too much…"
But the captain paid no heed and sang, "Ce-le-bra-tion Drink-ing-gu!"
At the other end of the room, shielded from the rowdy ex-soldiers of the Bureau, Hayate was getting ready as well. Little Rein flew a few circles around her meister and squealed, "You're more beautiful than you've been since the war began, Hayate-chan!"
"That's embarrassing, Rein-chan…" The general hid her face a little.
"But it's true!" the device proclaimed, then spotted a newcomer. "Ah, Signum-san."
The Crimson Fire General stepped around the blinds. "Excuse me."
And the eternal loli followed closely. "Yo."
Hayate jumped to her feet. "Signum-san! Vita-chan! Thanks for the hard work."
"It's nothing, Hayate-chan." Signum replied. "You're the big star today, and we're only too honored to be with you."
"Oh how can that be… Please don't talk like we're strangers…"
"Hai, hai!" Vita quipped then slapped her master lightly across the back. "Go break a leg, Hayate-chan."
"Did you just learn that phrase?"
Vita waved it aside. "Just something I heard from the TV guys."
"And she took it literally at first," Signum smirked.
"H-hey! So did you!!!" Vita snapped, and the other two laughed.
There was a sudden commotion behind them; the three Belka peeked around the corner. A junior officer had run up to greet Chrono and Yuuno, and invited them to have a glass.
"Chrono-kun! Yuuno-kun!" Hayate said as she jogged up to the two officers. "Especially you, Yuuno-kun. How could you sleep for so long?"
"Ah sorry…" The bookworm replied sheepishly as Hayate's knights joined up with them. "Actually I—"
Chrono cut him off with a hand onto his shoulder. "Let's hurry. This is a day to be written down in history."
Yuuno looked back and grumbled softly.
"We are now live from the skies above Laran Island, Artemis!" Declared an enthused reporter as his craft circled the grand proceedings below. "The ceremony for the ratification of the SU charter is about to begin!"
In another studio, several dimensions away, a special broadcast flowed on, as Arisa, Suzuka and several other friends of the Aces watched on eagerly. "In other words, with the ratification of the SU charter, a large federation of Inner Space nations that rivals the TSAB will be born. Many parts of former Bureau territories will be joining as well, so it's GDP will be a force to be reckoned with.
"Members leaving the Administration include Artemis, Bolagris…"
"Everyone…" Arisa thought grimly.
"Those who persuaded all these planets, and all of Belka's Aligned Territories, are none other than the Black Templars. That would mean that the Commander in Chief of this nation is Kia the Impaler. In other words, there is a high likelihood that this nation will be hostile to the Bureau.
"In preparation, the Bureau has deployed its fleets at many langrange points in the Dimensional Sea…"
All that buzz was drowned out by the excitement and energy overflowing from the Ceremonial Hall, as the representatives of the Saint's Union stood in standing ovation for a job well done. With the toot of trumpets, the master of ceremonies proclaimed, "To all our viewers joining us, as of now, 127 planets have completed the ratification of the SU charter. Continuing on the agenda…"
"A federation concept of Belka territories, Bureau and some powerful non-administrated worlds, just as we expected," commented General Kusunagi.
"However a military formation that is separate for each planet of Ground Forces, not counting the operational disparity between Belka and ex-Bureau forces…" Secretary of State Nagisa noted. "It will no doubt lack in teamwork."
"Nothing more than a mob," Auris added.
"Nope, they have one move." Summed the Head Chancellor Jeremiah.
As if on cue, Carym then moved onto the last item of the Charter. "Article 17 of the SU Charter."
She paused for a second, then continued, "All countries that have ratified the SU charter will forever relinquish all military forces, both magical and technological, on their planet."
A wave of surprise washed through the TSAB High Council's meeting room.
"Relinquish absolutely all forces?! Are they insane?!"
"With that," Carym continued, "the security of each SU member will be guaranteed by contracting the armed forces that belong to none of the states, the expanded Three Pillars!"
"I acknonwledge this covenant," Kia replied solemnly. "We, the Three Pillars, of the Licht, the Adepta Astarta, and the Saint Guard united, shall ask for funds and manpower from the Saint's Union. In return, we shall become the shield that protects all SU member states, and the sword that suppresses all enemy forces!"
The High Chancellor nodded. "As I predicted…"
Empress Vivio continued after Carym. Her voice was carrying a weight that one would think impossible for a mere 7 year old, but she delivered soundly, "The origin of disturbances arises from the fact that each planet still maintains its own Ground Force, and with differing tolerance to technological warfare. In the SU, only resolutions from me that are approved by the Supreme Council will determine the use of military action."
Vivio then closed her book. "I have already let my first intention be known. Lady Carym?"
The Premier nodded, the announced, 'By the Grace of the Sankt Kaiser, I shall make the first motion."
And she turned crisply to face the Assembly seated behind her. "The land of our holy city New Antioch, and the wider Belka Self-Administered Region, is being violated by the corrupt TSAB and while the old TSAB has given us peace, the new hegemony has unjustly robbed us of it.
"The Sankt Kaiser has heard my plea and is in favor of the dispatching of the Three Pillars. We also ask of you, dear Assembly members, those who are in favor of the motion, to please rise."
And the response was unanimously immediate, and not a single person remained seated.
Carym took a moment to watch the assembly, then announced, "We have a majority. Therefore, with the SU Resolution #1, I request the Three Pillars to capture Midchilda, and liberate the holy city of New Antioch!"
"Very well!" Kia replied, her voice booming electronincally through the vox caster system. "SU Resolution #1, We advance…"
She dramatically raised her hand to the skies, gathering the wills of her daughters and fellow men in them, and cast them corewards. "
…to Midchilda!
And cheers broke out everywhere, from the sleeping towns of Zuluman to the Belka trapped in New Antioch, a united cry for freedom and justice!
"We shall take back our New Antioch!" Kha affirmed.
"Now we can rescue Nanoha-chan!" Mariel commented, and Yuuno nodded back.
And notice that Hayate is not shafted, and instead is central to the entire conflict, even though Kia took all the limelight.
Nanoha is... elsewhere. And Fate-chan...
I wonder how many people will kill me for this little arc...
Now for something even worse:
However, their cheers were only shortlived, as the vidscreens covering the event began to fizz, then…
Kia immediately snapped backwards. "What?!"
Kha had his hand to his cross. "That heretic!"
The media center had already burst into a hurricane of business by then.
"We're being hacked?!"
"It's coming in via over 200 routes! It's far too many!"
The High Chancellor leapt to his feet. "The Supreme Admiral is…?!"
"Alive?" Colonel Sanders replied non-chalantly.
Jeremiah spat in disgust. "You plan on playing along with this theatre, Father?!"
"Use the backup line! Shut down the mains at least for crying out loud!" Chrono roared into the holo-vid, but the operative on the other side could only apologize: "We can't; even the backups have been taken over!"
"Impaler, do you think you have surpassed me?"
Kia gritted her teeth. "Impossible! How did he survive?!"
"Too bad, this is not welcome."
The giant man croned.
"One of the three territorial arrangements, the Far Rimward Frontier League, might as well be pronounced dead. In other words, the pathetic charter you created has divided all of Ordered Space into Bureau and those that are not part of it. Simple and, therefore, lucid.
"Therefore, who's vision wins this war shall shape all Ordered Space."
Kia clenched her fist with rage. Kha shifted closer, in support of his mother.
"Very well, Impaler. Challenge me. You will win everything, or you will lose everything.
That is how war is supposed to be!
Grand Admiral Louzorl punched the air with force as he roared the Bureau slogan. "
" echoed the assembled troops of the Bureau.
Kha reacted, and raised his device, blue energy blade buzzing in the air. "
Sophia followed, as so did her sisters. "
Two factions, their cries of fervor echoed throughout the four corners of known realms, their combined strength could all but tear all time asunder.
The stage for the grand clash has been set, and the blood boils with anticipation…
It was no longer a question of

Great poster but beware of spam!
By Danielle
from California
The poster is great. It's difficult to find posters that large so I was delighted to find their website. But my enthusiasm quickly faded when, within minutes of placing my order, I received about a half dozen spam emails which I had to manually add to my spam filter. Were it not for the spam I would have rated the product 5 stars. If I were to order from them again I would use a fake email address.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Ten Best Screamo Bands From Florida
Punk always has an identity crisis looming around every corner.
Allegedly, skinheads, anarchist vegans, and street-punk LARPers are all cut from the same cloth, despite the garish differences.
But no matter how confounding you find a genre like Hare Krshna hardcore (and wonder what Sid Vicious would have to say about it), screamo -- more than any other hardcore subset -- will always be fighting for people to take it seriously.
That's because it is hyperbolic, exaggerative, and dramatic to a point of ridiculous.
But hey, we were raised on the stuff. And the adjectives listed above? Well, that's why we like screamo in the first place! Lucky for us, the Sunshine State has produced a comfortably listable amount of truly great screamo bands.

10. Jesse Washington (Melbourne)
The name -- inspired by an African-American teenager infamously lynched in Waco, Texas, in 1916 -- would suggest a similarity to the highly politicized shrieks of emo-anarchists like early-aughts, Food Not Bombs playlist staple 1905. But Jesse Washington had more to do with the flamboyant Jagger Swagger and Technicolor almost-grind spazz attacks of An Albatross.
At the time, you called it "dancey screamo" if you approved. And if you didn't, you sneeringly referred to the stuff as "sassy screamo." Whatever it is, Jesse Washington lived it, complete with hot-pink typewriter-font logo and hair-metal makeup. In retrospect, they were an obvious antecedent -- more in style and dress than sonically -- to the highly primped devotees of spinoffs like crabcore.
9. Kite Flying Society (Orlando)
While sass definitely had a heyday, we ultimately categorize the phenomenon as a niche variation sub-subgenre. If you really want to hear the textbook, scrEaMO (capital "emo") sound, you've gotta listen to O-Town's Kite Flying Society. This band was thorough in its screamo-nicity: It pushed crazy-chaos hardcore right up against twinkly melodic breakdowns. Its lyrics read like a wallflower's diary and/or miserable poetry. It had minor-chord breakdowns with quickly spoken vocal interludes. And its songs were often arranged around giving the audience a moment of building tension with which they could clap along.
P.S. The band name is a reference to some sappy shmoopy love shit in a Wes Anderson movie. Does it get more screamo than that?Next Page

Some patients are very thin and only have some extra skin. Those patients have no excess fat and their muscles are in the right place but the skin has been stretched severely. I've seen plenty of those cases and there's nothing to lipo. It really depends on what you look like prior to surgery and what your goals are. Good luck!
Tummy Tuck w/ Upper Hip Lipo vs. Tummy Tuck w/ No Lipo - Differences in Results?
Doctor Answers 12
TT with or w/o lipo

Tummy tuck with our without liposuction?
I don't believe I have ever done an abdominoplasty without at least a small amount of liposuction in over twenty years of practice. Even in the thinnest of patients a bit of liposuction allows us to eliminate dog-ears without overextending the incision.
The advent of liposuction has allowed us to greatly refine our tummy tuck results.
In my practice the liposuction of the abdomen itself is considered an integral part of the operation and is not billed separately.
In this way I do not ask patients to choose between a less expensive but inferior operation, and a costlier but better one.
Tummy Tuck With or Without Liposuction of the Back and Hips - When and Why
To get the BEST possible results you and your surgeon need to address all areas which affect your appearance. A Tummy Tuck will flatten the Tummy and narrow the waist (by bringing the muscles together) but it will not address fat deposits on the hips because the pelvic bones under the hips do NOT move in with muscle tightening. As a result, as the waist becomes narrower with tummy tuck tightening, the hips fat deposits will NOT change but WILL APPEAR larger. As a result, women who do not have significant fat deposits do not benefit from Liposuction of the lower back and hips BUT those who do have these deposits will look a LOT better if these areas are liposuctioned at the same time as a Tummy Tuck.

#ShouldIHaveLipoWithMyTT ?
A Tummy Tuck involves removing redundant skin and tightening the underlying muscles. Sometimes liposuction is combined as needed with a Tummy Tuck for the best possible result. Your photos suggest that you probably are a candidate for a Tummy Tuck. The question is whether the shape of your abdomen is affected by an excess of fat, skin, muscle separation or laxity, or some combination thereof. This can only be determined by examination, so go ahead and consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Some of my patients elect to have liposuction first, and then opt for a Tummy Tuck if the results are not satisfying.

To lipo or not to lipo?
It all depends on your anatomy and goals. If you do have some excess fat in the waist and/or upper hips, it is very common for plastic surgeons to liposuction these areas at the time of a tummy tuck. The adjunctive liposuction in these areas help fine tune the waist and give you additional contour. Talk to your board certified plastic surgeon to explore your options.
Flank and hip liposuction generally improves TT results
Liposuction of the flanks and hip region drastically improves the results of a tummy tuck- most of our patients opt for this option when shown photos of patients that have chosen this combination.

Liposuction with Abdominoplasty
An abdominoplasty can be done with or without liposuction. An abdominoplasty can be a significant operation on anyone that is over the age of 40. Therefore, I am usually somewhat conservative about adding additional aggressive liposuction at the same time as an abdominoplasty. However, liposuction of the hip area often adds the the improvement of the result and is very worthwhile to consider at the same time. Liposuction of the hips is considered relatively "safe" since it does not typically adversely affect the healing of the abdominoplasty. Therefore, while it is usually best to be cautious about excessive liposuction at the same time as an abdominoplasty, liposuction of the hips is relatively safe and can really make a nice difference in the results. I would definitely ask your plastic surgeon for their advice. Best wishes.
Michael Vincent, MD, FACS
Tummy tuck and liposuction
Many patients often hesitate to have liposuction to the hips/flanks or even upper abdomen while having a tummy tuck. This is mostly due to the additional cost. However, to achieve the a truly refined contour and remove the excess lower abdominal skin it is often needed. Having done patients who insist on not having any additional lipo, I can say that they are not nearly as happy with the result as are the patients that did and often return to complete the proposed procedure. Trust your PS, these are not necessarily "add ons" as they are refinements of a technique that yield the best results.

Tummy tuck with/without lipo
The tummy tuck is no different whether you do lipo or not on the flanks or hips. The central part looks the same. The only reason to do the extra lipo is if you have extra fat on the sides (Muffin top). About 10-20% of my patients do that.

Claude Giroux had two goals, backup Sergei Bobrovsky made 23 saves and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Montreal Canadiens 3-1 on Friday.
Jakub Voracek also scored for the Flyers, who got all of their offense in the second period. Bobrovsky improved to 5-1-1.
Giroux now has 29 points (13 goals, 16 assists) on the season. He entered the game second in the league behind Toronto's Phil Kessel.
Petteri Nokelainen scored and Carey Price made 33 saves for Montreal.
Bobrovsky made his sixth start and eighth appearance in 22 games. He replaced Ilya Bryzgalov in Philadelphia's overtime win against the Islanders on Wednesday.
Bobrovsky's best stop Friday came with six minutes remaining when he stoned Erik Cole from point-blank range with a left leg save.
Bryzgalov, who signed a $51 million, nine-year deal in the offseason, has been pedestrian to this point. He is 8-5-2 with a 2.89 goals-against average. Earlier in the season, he complained about a complete lack of confidence.
The Flyers outshot Montreal 18-5 during their big second period. All three of Philadelphia's goals came in the final 6 minutes, 48 seconds.
Giroux controlled a deflection off the back boards and deposited it off Price's back. Voracek put Philadelphia ahead 4 1/2 minutes later, beating Price to the stick side with a one-timer after receiving a pretty pass from Kimmo Timonen from behind the net.
Giroux gave the Flyers a two-goal advantage, scoring with 5.9 seconds left in the period. Voracek did a good job of digging the puck out of the corner and passing back to the blue line, where Braydon Coburn took a hard shot that deflected off Price to the right circle. Giroux was waiting there and wristed the puck past the diving Price, who couldn't get back to the far side of the goal in time.
Montreal opened the scoring with 1:46 remaining in the first period. Nokelainen picked up a loose puck just outside of the slot and fired a wrister past Bobrovsky.
Philadelphia outshot Montreal 36-24.
NOTES: Montreal killed all four of Philadelphia's power plays and has allowed just two goals in opponents' last 52 attempts. . Philadelphia LW James van Riemsdyk did not play and will be out one to two weeks with an upper body injury. . Flyers RW Jaromir Jagr missed his third game in the last four with a lower body injury. Jagr, whose streak of 264 straight games ended Nov. 19, played Wednesday but was held out of the lineup against Montreal. . Flyers captain Chris Pronger missed his third straight game with a virus. . Voracek has 11 points (two goals, nine assists) in his last eight games. . Philadelphia announced its roster for the NHL Winter Classic Alumni Game against the Rangers on Dec. 31 at Citizens Bank Park. Among the Flyers alumni playing will be Bob Clarke, Eric Lindros and John LeClair.

Criminal assault and trespassing charges against two Arizona Wildcats football players won't be pursued in court, and their suspensions from the team will likely end soon.
The case against defensive back Jourdon Grandon has been dismissed, and the lawyer for offensive tackle Fabbians Ebbele told the Star on Friday that he anticipates the same happening for his client soon.
City prosecutors filed a motion to dismiss Ebbele's charges on Wednesday. He is scheduled to appear in court again May 17.
"The case should be done," said Skip Donau, Ebbele's lawyer. "I haven't seen the signed order yet, but I anticipate it any day now."
Grandon, Ebbele and three other Wildcats players were arrested and charged following fights at a campus-area party March 2. The other three players were arrested on suspicion of trespassing.
Grandon and Ebbele were suspended for most of spring drills because of the pending charges but could be reinstated as soon as next week. UA coach Rich Rodriguez is recruiting and out of town.
Both Grandon and Ebbele remained close to the program during their suspensions. They have been participating in voluntary workouts on campus, lifting weights and participating in team meetings.
Ebbele is looking forward to formally rejoining the team, his lawyer said.
"The main consideration my client had is now he can get back to being part of the team full-time and demonstrating that he has the full ability to play his position," Donau said.
