Ensiferum (Latin ēnsiferum (neuter adjective) meaning "sword bearer") is a folk metal band from Helsinki, Finland.Read More...
In 1995 Markus Toivonen played guitar with some friends in a band called "Dark Reflections", which played mainly covers of certain heavy metal bands including Megadeth, Pantera and many others. Later on, Markus felt that the band in which he was playing offered him very little inspiration and wanted to play something different. Markus was hugely inspired by folk music and also found himself fascinated with melodic death metal bands like Amorphis and Dark Tranquillity. Then one day Markus asked the band's drummer, Kimmo Miettinen, if he wanted to play heroic folk 'death' metal with him. Kimmo agreed. Next Markus and Kimmo asked their friend Sauli Savolainen, if he wanted to come and play the bass. Fortunately, he said yes. Now they had a band. Only trouble was that the band had no name at the time. One day Markus was visiting Sauli at his home, when he found a book; a Latin Dictionary. Markus casually opened the book. And from the first randomly picked page he glanced at a word. Ensiferum. Markus found the word fascinating and the translation "sword-bearing" excited him.
In year 1996 Ensiferum started its training in January 1996 at the Pasila Youthcenter in Helsinki (the same place their earlier band, Dark Reflections, had their rehearsals). Markus begun writing songs in 1995, which he finished in 1996. The songs were "Knighthood", "Old Man (Väinämöinen)" and "Frost". Later in the same year, Markus convinced Jari Mäenpää (at the time a member of the band Immemorial, and an experienced solo artist) to join his band as a singer and second guitarist. Jari came aboard with some great skills and excellent musical ideas. Thus the band was no longer a trio, but a quartet. Jari proved to be a skillful lyricist and wrote the lyrics to "Old Man". The two other songs required no new lyrics, because Markus had done the original lyrics for "Knighthood" and Sauli for "Frost". So Jari just improved them. Ensiferum had their first concert at Pasila Youthcenter in December 1996. Ironically, they performed just one song, "Old Man", which was the only song with finished lyrics.
1997 Jari joined the army in January and the band's progress was halted. The other members used this spare time to improve their playing skills. Ensiferum had two unofficial gigs in Pasila (one in the Youthcenter and one outside of it) with a strange line-up…
Jari finished his military service in the fall of 1997 and Ensiferum started training heavily for the first demo, which was recorded at Kivi-Studios in November. The demo included three songs, "Frost", "Old Man" and "Knighthood", and spread almost 300 copies in the following year.
1998 After the release of the demo Ensiferum did two more concerts in Pasila. New songs were finished, including "Little Dreamer (Väinämöinen II)". But Ensiferum had to take a little breather. Things didn't get any easier because Kimmo Miettinen left to join the band ArthemesiA, and Sauli Savolainen concentrated on his job and school. That year Oliver Fokin had quit playing drums in ArthemesiA and had a few short jamming sessions with Markus in an old bomb shelter in Munkkiniemi, Helsinki. One thing led to another and Oliver agreed to play drums in the band. Essentially, Ensiferum and ArthemesiA switched drummers. Around the same time Sauli was fresh out of the enthusiasm towards Ensiferum and was replaced by Kimmo Miettinen's little brother, Jukka-Pekka Miettinen. Funnily, at the time he started to play bass in Ensiferum he was only fourteen years old. Now there was a new line-up ready to face the challenges of the second demo. And they had a new training facility: the bomb shelter in Munkkiniemi.
1999 The second demo was recorded in January 1999 at MD-Studios. The demo included 4 songs: "The Dreamer's Prelude", "Little Dreamer (Väinämöinen II)", "Warrior's Quest" and "White Storm". The second demo was technically evolved and although it didn't score a record deal for Ensiferum, it gave them confidence. They gained more experience in a local band contest and after that they started to record their third and final demo in November 1999 once again at MD-Studios with the help of Janne Joutsenniemi (a member of Stone and Sub-Urban Tribe) who recorded and mixed the demo in a very short studio session. The demo included 5 songs: "Intro", "Hero In A Dream", "Eternal Wait", "Battle Song" and a bonus song "Guardians Of Fate", which was recorded at Jari's home with a drum machine. "Eternal Wait" had a guest female vocalist Johanna Vakkuri, a friend of the band. The demo was released with a new band logo, which was designed and conceived by Tuomas Tahvanainen, the designer of the previous logos.
2000 The third demo had great reviews and was recognized as on of the top demos of the month by several different publishers. It also got the eagerly awaited attention of the record labels. Once Spinefarm, a record company, got hold of the demo they contacted Ensiferum immediately and started negotiating about the possibility of a record deal. In the meantime, Ensiferum participated in a local band contest and was among the top finalists of that year. Roughly the same time a record deal was finally made with Spinefarm. Ensiferum recorded their debut album in November 2000 at Sundi-Coop Studios in Savonlinna with Tuomo Valtonen (studio engineerer). The album featured such guest musicians as Trollhorn (keyboards), Johanna Vakkuri (guest female vocals) and Marita Toivonen (kantele).
In the spring of 2001 the debut album was mixed by Tuomo Valtonen in his studio. Tuomo Valtonen made the record edgy, as he always does. At similar times Ensiferum had a new addition to its line-up: a keyboard player. Meiju Enho joined Ensiferum and so the band became a quintet. Debut album "Ensiferum" was released in July 2001 and the feedback was tremendously positive.
Between years 2003 and 2004 to record "Iron" Ensiferum traveled all the way to Copenhagen's Sweet Silence studios in the summer of 2003. The reason for choosing a foreign studio was the studio´s owner, the famed producer Flemming Rasmussen, who has in the past recorded and produced such famed albums as Metallica´s "Master of Puppets" and "Ride the Lightning". "Iron" was then recorded, produced and mixed by Rasmussen.
After the recordings Ensiferum announced with a sad heart that their singer/guitarist Jari Mäenpää had made the decision of leaving the band in order to focus on his new project, Wintersun. The search for a replacement was started immediately due to the band´s busy touring schedule, and soon a new singer was found in the form of Norther´s lead singer Petri Lindroos. Soon after, both Jukka-Pekka Miettinen and Oliver Fokin left the band as well, leaving Markus the only member from the original line-up. They were replaced by bassist Sami Hinkka (previously a member of Finnish melodic death/doom band Rapture ) and drummer Janne Parviainen of Sinergy and Barathrum fame.
2006-2007 Understandably, the fans didn't expect Ensiferum to be able to keep up to the standard they themselves created, but the DVD marking Ensiferum's 10th anniversary showed great promise for the future, and the new album, "Victory Songs", was generally well received. As was the single "One More Magic Potion" released earlier in 2007. This single included the new song One More Magic Potion, and a cover from Uriah Heep, Lady In Black. The sound remained mostly unchanged, though the new vocals are obviously different and the overall sound is more aggressive.
Unexpectedly a Russia-based Fan Club presented Ensiferum with an original present: a star in the Ursa Minor constellation has been baptized with the band's name. The coordinates of the Ensiferum star are as follows:
Magnitude: 15.3
Ascension: [RA] 16 00 19.14
Declination: [Dec] +66 52 06.1
After being with the band for almost 6 years, Meiju Enho decided to leave the band.
You can read her statement on the Ensiferum website here.
Ensiferum states on their website that:
"Emmi Silvennoinen from the band Exsecratus has been substituting Meiju from the beginning of this year (2007) and continues to act as the live/session keyboard player for Ensiferum until further notice."
Ensiferum headlined the Paganfest tour in Europe and North America in 2008. Others playing the tour included Týr and Eluveitie, with Moonsorrow and Korpiklaani also joining them on the European part of the tour, and Turisas in North America. They also supported Megadeth on the opening night of their United Abominations – Tour of Duty European tour. Ensiferum also supported Amon Amarth on their North American Twilight of the Thunder God tour.
In the first half of 2009, Ensiferum performed at a string of festivals including Frostrock in Belgium, Finnish Metal Expo and Tuska Open Air in Finland, Winterfire, Rocktower, Legacy and Rock am Härtsfeldsee in Germany, Summer Nights in Austria, and Z7 Metal Dayz in Switzerland. In June and July they toured North America as part of the Summer Slaughter Tour with Necrophagist, Darkest Hour, Suffocation, Blackguard, Dying Fetus, Beneath the Massacre, Origin, and Winds of Plague. In August they will perform at the Global East festival in Ukraine, Ankkarock and Jurassic Rock in Finland, and Let's Open Air in Turkey.
Ensiferum released their fourth studio album, From Afar, on September 9, 2009 on Spinefarm Records. The album was produced by Nightwish producer Tero Kinnunen and Victory Songs producer Janne Joutsenniemi, and it was mixed by producer Hiili Hiilesmaa. The limited edition of the album includes a cover of Swedish folk rock group Nordman. Following the release, the group will embark on a European tour with Estonian folk metal band Metsatöll and Finnish melodic death metal band Tracedawn. In October they will also perform at Hellflame Festival – The South Side of Hell and Devil's Revenge festival in Germany, and Tatto the Mind in France. Ensiferum will perform on the second day of the Screamfest Festival in Sydney, Australia, on New Years Day 2010. In November/December 2009 they will go on tour in North America with Hypocrisy, Ex Deo, and Blackguard.

FRESNO -- California's landmark Proposition 2 said chickens in cages must be able to stand up and stretch their wings without touching cage walls. Whether that means one chicken at a time or a bunch at once is the impetus behind the third lawsuit filed by egg farmers since passage of the ballot measure.
A group of egg farmers sued California late Friday in Fresno County Superior Court, saying the statute is unconstitutionally vague.
The legal action came on the heels of a federal court decision in August on a similar claim in which the judge upheld the law.
"If we can't get clarity on what Prop. 2 means, the number of producers will go down significantly and then the cost of eggs will go up," said attorney Dale Stern, who is representing about three-quarters of state producers in the Association of California Egg Farmers.
The 2008 initiative sponsored by the Humane Society of the United States was intended to free chickens from the cramped, bare-wire cages used by most producers and that provided less floor space than a standard sheet of paper. The law, which goes into effect in January 2015, says chickens must be able to engage in natural behaviors -- such as roosting and scratching -- and should be able to stand up and stretch their wings.
Since its passage, farmers have complained that the measure lacks specific language designating appropriate cage size and as a result puts them at risk of misdemeanor charges and fines up to $1,000. In addition, they say they are on the hook for millions of dollars in upgrades but can't get bank loans without knowing whether new cages will be in compliance.
The animal welfare group and the national United Egg Producers teamed up earlier this year to sponsor federal legislation that would settle the question regarding all of the nation's 270 million laying hens. If it passes, the measure would amend the Egg Products Inspection Act to give chickens 125 square inches of space within 15 years, a period that would allow farmers to gradually upgrade housing systems.
California farmers would have to adhere to the same cage sizes but still meet the Prop 2 deadline in 2015.
California farmers say they need time to comply with the state law and can't wait for Congress to act on the proposed federal legislation. They first went to court two years ago when Modesto-based producer J.S. West asked a Fresno County judge to decide if the company's new system met the requirements. The judge declined to issue a ruling.
"It wasn't a challenge to the law, it was just a 'hey your honor, does this work?"' Stern said.

This past month in the Muslim world
Some news items from the Islamic world in the past month:
June 18 (CNN): "A militant Islamist group [Boko Haram, which means "Western culture is forbidden"] claimed responsibility Monday for bombings the day before that the Nigerian Red Cross said left 50 people dead at three Christian churches in Nigeria.
"A suicide bomber drove at high speed through a barricade at the EWCA Goodnews Wusasa Zaria church. … Within minutes, another explosion occurred at the Christ the King Catholic Church in Zaria. … At least 10 people died and more than 50 were injured in that attack. … Later, at least 10 people died in a bombing at a church in the city of Kaduna. …
"The bombings are the latest in a string of violence directed at Nigerian churches."
July 4 (BBC): "A Pakistani mob has taken a man accused of blasphemy from a police station and burnt him to death.
"Witnesses said hundreds of people looked on as he screamed for help. Pakistan's controversial blasphemy law imposes the death penalty for insulting Islam. … The man was reportedly beaten and dragged to the spot where he is said to have desecrated the Koran. The mob then poured petrol on him and set him on fire, according to witnesses."
Much of Mali's history is targeted for destruction by Islamists.
The Sunni Islamist movement, Ansar Dine, which means "Defenders of the Faith," destroyed the graves of ancient Sufi saints, unearthed the saints' bodies and threw them into a garbage heap. Ansar Dine did this for the same reason that the Taliban, when they ruled Afghanistan, used anti-aircraft and tank fire to destroy some of mankind's greatest sculptures, the 1,700-year-old sandstone statues of Buddha. They believe that Islam demands the destruction of anything Muslims deem non-monotheistic.
July 1 (BBC): "Islamist rebels occupying the ancient city of Timbuktu in Mali have vowed to smash every mausoleum, in the face of international protests."
In his first public speech after being elected president of Egypt, Mohamed Morsi vowed that he would press the United States to release Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, the "blind sheik" who is serving a life sentence for planning the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. The bombing — intended to bring down the building and kill thousands of Americans — killed six Americans and injured more than a thousand.
Morsi is often referred to as a "moderate Islamist."
Kabul, July 4 (Reuters): "A 30-year-old woman and two of her children were beheaded overnight in Afghanistan's east, police said, in what appeared to be the latest in a rapidly growing trend of so-called honor killings."
Kabul, July 7 (Reuters): "A man Afghan officials say is a member of the Taliban shot dead a woman accused of adultery in front of a crowd near Kabul. … The austere Islamist group dictates law even near the Afghan capital. In the three-minute video, a turban-clad man approaches a woman kneeling in the dirt and shoots her five times at close range with an automatic rifle, to cheers of jubilation from the 150 or so men watching. … 'Allah warns us not to get close to adultery because it's the wrong way,' another man says as the shooter gets closer to the woman. 'It is the order of Allah that she be executed.' "
This was a typical month.
Why do I note all this?
Certainly not to indict all Muslims. It goes without saying that many millions of Muslims are moral and decent people, and that the great majority of Muslim-Americans are just like other Americans. But among the American media and intellectual elites there is a denial of the evil that permeates the Islamist world. ("Islamist" refers to those Muslims — unfortunately, more than a few — who seek to have Sharia govern societies.) In August 2010, listeners to NPR and viewers of PBS, for example, were told that Islamist violence is no greater than Christian violence.
PBS host Tavis Smiley interviewed Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the ex-Muslim Somali writer and activist for human rights and for women's rights in Islamic countries. After mentioning American-Muslim terrorist Maj. Nidal Hasan, who murdered 13 soldiers and injured another 30 at Fort Hood, Texas, and Faisal Shahzad, who attempted to murder hundreds in New York's Times Square, this dialogue ensued:
Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Somehow, the idea got into their [Hasan's and Shahzad's] minds that to kill other people is a great thing to do and that they would be rewarded in the hereafter.
Tavis Smiley: But Christians do that every single day in this country.
Ali: Do they blow people up?
Smiley: Yes. Oh, Christians, every day, people walk into post offices, they walk into schools, that's what Columbine is — I could do this all day long. … There are so many more examples, Ayaan, of Christians who do that than you could ever give me examples of Muslims who have done that inside this country, where you live and work.
Michel Martin of NPR, in discussing whether the Islamic mosque planned for near Ground Zero should be moved, compared the Muslim identity of the 9/11 terrorists to the "Christian identity" of American terrorist Timothy McVeigh: "Did anybody move a Christian church after Timothy McVeigh" bombed the federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995?
And ABC News "20/20" anchor Chris Cuomo tweeted this to his nearly 1 million followers: "To all my christian brothers and sisters, especially catholics — before u condemn muslims for violence, remember the crusades."
Between the ongoing evil in many parts of the Islamic world and the Westerners who diminish that evil by arguing that Christians do the same thing, we are in trouble.

Yes, The Dark Knight Rises has indeed risen. With the exception of a handful of countries that won't be seeing Christopher Nolan's film until August, Batman has flown around the world and, like a catty Catwoman, I have a few things to discuss behind his bat back.
It's not that I didn't enjoy the movie; my review was, like the nuclear power reactor, glowing.
That said, I had mentioned "some muddled plot points." While I dared not breathe a word of objection last week, for fear of ruining the bats-perience, by now most of The Dark Knight Rises aficionados have seen light of day.
Note that HUGE SPOILERS are looming straight ahead. If for some reason, you're still holding out — waiting for ticket prices to drop, a Netflix envelope to fall into your lap, or a masked hero to rescue you from some nasty prison situated below ground — stop reading now. As for the rest of you: Come fly with me, won't you?
– Standing on the stairs of the City Hall, he produces some sheets of paper and proceeds to read a supposed tell-all confession from Commissioner Gordon. But the villain has just attacked the City; who's going to believe him? (Even if it is true.)
– Why doesn't the SEC simply refuse the bogus trade made by Bane? Last I heard, Wall Street brokers surely know fraud when they see it.
– With the Mayor in attendance at the football stadium, how is it possible that he doesn't have some kind of police detail escorting him? There's no sharp shooter, no guard in the crowd who might try to take down Bane? No one?
– On the attempt to transfuse the blood between a thug and Dr. Pavel in the opening scene on the plane: The human body contains ten pints of blood. Given the pressing time, the attempt to transfer even a half a pint from Pavel to the thug is just silly. It wouldn't register, it would only mix with whatever blood type the thug already has. And then there's the pesky problem of the teeth. Sadly, there just isn't time to knock out all of Pavel's pearly whites and, with a dental surgeon on hand, graft them onto the thug's gums one by one.
Batman/Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale):
On his restorative powers:
– Miranda thrusts a knife deep into his torso and twists away. He can barely move for all the excrutiating pain he's in. And yet, a few minutes later, there he is, la-la-la, magically back to his old bat self. (Editor's note: Well, he IS the darn Batman!)
– Speaking of backs — Bane breaks Batman's. Just like in the comic book (the classic Knightfall storyline), the villain actually, physically breaks his back. Yet, one 'chiropractic' adjustment from a fellow prisoner and a few weeks standing upright on the cold prison ground will knock that vertebrae back to normal, just like new. Yeah, that's the ticket.
– Without money, ID, bat-transport, smartphone or friends, once Bruce succeeds in ascending the prison walls, how does our hero get back to Gotham? I didn't notice any superpowered motorized Bat-camel hanging around the deserted wasteland on the outskirts of Jodhpur, India.
– Considering Gotham is under absolute lockdown, how does he manage to slip back in, unnoticed? Yes, I know … he's Batman.
– Why, in all his fights with Bane, doesn't Batman try ripping that Hannibal Lecter-esque mask off his head?
– As for Bruce Wayne's passing: What story did his few close pals give about his death? We see the city mourning for him… how does Gotham think he died?
Foley (Matthew Modine):
– A madman has just blown up the stock exchange, murdered some people and kidnapped others. Yet Foley thinks this is the perfect time to capture Batman?
– The police decide to charge, like a limp Light Brigade, against professional killers armed with assault rifles; do they think their yells, or their impassioned beliefs of right and might, will stop the bullets in mid-air?
John Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt):
– He's able to recognize Bruce Wayne as Batman, supposedly because they share an orphaned past. By simply looking into Wayne's eyes, he just knows. Does that mean that each and every orphan in Gotham also knows? Including Orphan Annie?
– Any policemen patrolling the streets are immediately gunned down by Bane's men. Yet Blake refuses to wear a disguise. Even Batman suggests that Blake is foolhardy. And that's saying something.
– Blake throws away his badge in disgust because he's angry at the cops who won't let him pass over the bridge. Prior to that, he's furious at Commissioner Gordon regarding the lie about Harvey Dent, even though that lie helped to clean up the city for eight years. Sheesh … what a hothead. Are we sure we want to put the future of Gotham into his volatile hands?
Miranda Tate (Marion Cotillard):
– In the third act, Miranda confesses that she was the one who climbed out of the prison, and that Bane was her protector. She goes on to say that her father, who is Ra's al Ghul, never accepted Bane. Though she claims she hates her father for not accepting Bane, she still destroys Gotham out of filial loyalty. Why carry out Daddy's plan, as seen in Batman Begins?
– She waits eight years to cozy up to Bruce Wayne. Why so long? (Editor's note: I'd argue that it took her that long to climb the economic ladder to get into that position of power.)
Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway):
– Selina is a crackerjack hacker thief extraordinaire. If she can break into Bruce Wayne's super-duper safe, can't she erase her own records with ease? Or find someone who can? Surely the Clean Slate program isn't the only option for someone as crafty-clever as Catwoman.
There's probably further nitpicks but, like Batman in this most recent film, I'm asking for some help. Feel free to opine, discuss, correct. I'm "bat" your service.

Former Senator John Edwards Indicted For Misuse of Campaign Funds [VIDEO]
My high school basketball coach always said "cheaters never win, and winners never cheat". He was right. Just ask former Senator and Presidential candidate John Edwards.
This guy cheated on his wife who was battling cancer and is now dead. He cheated taxpayers too by misusing government campaign funds to pay "hush money" to his hoochie mama that he fathered a kid with behind his sick wife's back. He dishonored his wife, kids and his state of North Carolina. Now it's payback time "Johnboy"!
Edwards ripped off $928,000 in campaign funds to keep his "love mama" and "love child" hidden away during the 2008 Presidential campaign. I hope he gets about 20 years at the gray bar hotel.
Here's the whole disgusting story from MSN, and some country music comic relief from Joey and Rory with their big hit "Cheater Cheater".

There's no doubt about it: Doutzen Kroes has one of the sexiest post-baby bodies in the modeling world.
Thirteen months after welcoming son Phyllon Joy (with husband Sunnery James), the 27-year-old Victoria's Secret stunner revealed her sexy bikini body in Miami, Florida Wednesday. Wearing a black bandeau top and matching bottoms, the Dutch beauty also sported oversized sunglasses and a floppy hat.
Us Weekly caught up with Kroes at a Victoria's Secret event in New York City on February 8, where she opened up about her son Phyllon's latest milestones.
"He was walking within nine months, so I was already running after him," Kroes told Us. "He says 'ei,' which means 'egg.' That was his first word, I guess, so I'm pretty disappointed. I wanted him to say 'mom' at least!"

The trailer might be light on actual gameplay, but more than makes up for it by featuring some cool cinematics and the music of Nine Inch Nails. Special props go out to whoever chose the music for this trailer for not going the cliche route with NIN's catalogue. Well played.

Community-Based Tourism: The Case Of The Butrint National Park, South Albania
The concept of Community Based Tourism (CBT) has been a further development within the sustainable tourism approach. Drawing from the theories and practice of participatory development, it specifically focuses on the impact tourism may have on local communities with the aim of maximizing benefits in terms of jobs, wealth, and support for local culture and industry, and protection of the built and natural environment. Thus the challenge is to put local communities at the center of tourism initiatives and supports in an effort to create win-win solutions concerning the management of tourism destinations. CBT is planned with the goal of preserving local natural and cultural assets, so that both residents and visitors may benefit from the tourism experience. Dealing with culture and sustainable development should be done within the objective of promoting sustainable development in the region and conserve the Butrint National Park (BNP), by engaging surrounding communities in the development of community-based tourism products and services. The underlying assumption of intervention is that CBT assists in the conservation of BNP's cultural and natural values by demonstrating the Park's potential to the local communities in order to generate sustainable economic activities.

Romeo and Basil – Humane Society Pets of the Week!
This morning I walked into the kitchen and was greeted by a cat who was having an all-on freakout. It's not uncommon for her to have a morning freakout, but this morning in particular she was pretty fiesty. As I walked by, she lunged at my feet before dashing away, and as I poured a drink she jumped onto the counter, tried to run across it, landed on a sheet of paper, and just about flew off the other side of the counter. She later moved her antics down the hall so that as I passed through she counld attack me from the shadows. We've become used to our cats behaving like this from time to time, and it's a normal part of cat behavior. Some pets, however, don't have a guardian who understands them and laughs it off when they act silly. That's where you come in.
The Humane Society shelters pets, gets them the care they need, gives them the love they're craving, and does their best to place them in permanent homes. Whether you're looking for an lazy dog who prefers a quiet walk to play, or a cat who chases toys, chances are the Humane Society will have your perfect match.
May I present our pets of the week. If you'd like to see them in person or get more information on these pets or any other pets that the Humane Society has, check them out online here or call 940-855-4941. They're located at 4360 Old Iowa Park Road in Wichita Falls.
Romeo is a small, young, male hound mix. He's a really wonderful dog who loves to play and has a lot of energy. He's up-to-date on shots, heartworm tested and on preventative, and microchipped. If you're looking for a dog who loves to hang out with you and play, but also likes to watch a movie with you on the couch, this is your guy. Call today for a meet-and-greet!

Its paper material gasket...doesnt say anything about sealant and looks like old one didnt have any either...what do you think I should do??
any trick to get the seal pulley to dig into seal??
Finished all three seals without issue...all seems to be good with timing as I have cam pulley s back on etc and new timing belt is under tension
had to leave out of town for work this week and wont get back to this until Friday so I hope to hell I dont forget anything! also hoping my timing wont be an issue as I followed instructions to a "t" and after manual 2X crank rotation the cams appear to return to correct alignment so...
The transmission occasionally has a slight shift delay at or around 30mph...any thoughts? Car did sit for a few months prior to use
no leaks, I will check fluid level again as I dont recall for certain and I can hook up my Ross-Tech software and run a scan this weekend when I get back home
almost done...Attachments are only available to registered users.Register Here

Hamlin Cemetery
My great-grandmother is Frieda Schuster who is also buried there. She's the reason Hamlin Cemetery is on Findagrave. I drove to North Dakota several years back to try to find the cemetery and her grave, uncertain that I'd find either. Hamlin Cemetery seemed to be unknown outside the immediate neighborhood.
My great-grandparents went to North Dakota to homestead. Frieda died giving birth to my grandmother who was sent the following spring back to Missouri to be raised by her grandparents. Her father stayed in North Dakota a few more years before moving to Milwaukee and going into the tobacco business with his brother.
I'd be pleased to add any information to the memorials of your ancestors that you'd be willing to share.

Just wanted to give you a heads up I found an obit that listed his date of death. I have posted it on the West Leeds memorial. I can do updates if you send me edits and something that tells me where I can do the source. I also have the birth date as about 1798 in Bath, but I do not know the source of this... no record, I think. I am very responsive about updates, but I need to be able to document them. -- Amy

RE: Mitchell
I mainly work with what is available online, though am sometimes able to add in some local angles. I looked on ancestry, as I am sure you have. I have James son of Catherine, who later married Charles Keith. Not Shaw, she died before he did, so not sure where Shaw comes in. Charles was a widower, interesting that James did not live with them in 1860. He didn't seem to stick around in Leeds for long. James Mitchell in other places in Maine, may be same guy. James married about 1883 to a woman born in midwest, so he went west before that date. I have no additional information.
The 1873 atlas shows the house that used to belong to Sherm Mitchell as owned by either a Carver or Ramsdell... hard to tell, as two houses on map are close. His sister is still living, saw her when I stopped in at a yard sale this summer. I live near them.
As for newspapers, only what is on genealogybank. Not much.
I did memorials for thee cemeteries in town, and am gradually posting material. Researching stones is more interesting than evening TV.

Home sweet home. Satellite tags revealed that a few sharks wandered away from the Bahamas, but they came back to join the others.
Feared for its feeding frenzies in the high seas, the oceanic whitetip (Carcharhinus longimanus) is also highly prized for shark fin soup. That culinary predilection has contributed to a steep decline in the number of whitetips, which are critically endangered in the Atlantic. Now, the first detailed tracking study of these sharks, published today in PLOS ONE, provides some good news: Female whitetips stay close to the protected waters of the Bahamas. "It's a key question for conservation," says Elizabeth Babcock, a fisheries biologist at the University of Miami in Florida who was not involved in the study. "It really makes a big difference whether there are parts of the population that are in protected areas."
Oceanic whitetips are more mysterious than most other shark species. Only four tagged whitetips have been recaptured, and just a few have been tracked by satellite in the central Pacific. Data from the satellite showed that the sharks travel up to 4000 kilometers but neither data set had revealed any pattern to their movements. Demian Chapman, a marine biologist at Stony Brook University in New York, wanted to know more, so he teamed up with Lucy Howey-Jordan, a classmate from graduate school, whose family runs Microwave Telemetry Inc. in Columbia, Maryland. The company donated 11 satellite tags, which cost upwards of $4000 each.
Chapman and Howey-Jordan headed to Cat Island, Bahamas, where scuba dive operators have reported congregations of whitetips. "It was amazing no one had taken the opportunity to study them in the Bahamas," Chapman says. In May 2011, the team caught 11 adults and outfitted them with hand-sized tags that would monitor the shark's movements, detach at a predetermined time ranging from 30 to 245 days, and upload location data to a satellite.
The team discovered that six sharks stayed within or very close to the Bahamas Exclusive Economic Zone, an area larger than France, for the entire study. Five others stayed within 500 kilometers of Cat Island for a month, and then fanned out across more than 16,000 square kilometers of the western North Atlantic. All but one came back to the Bahamas by the time the last tag had dropped off. "The Bahamas is home to these guys, they're not just passing through," says Robert Hueter of Mote Marine Laboratory's Center for Shark Research in Sarasota, Florida.
The pattern might be related to the 2-year reproductive cycle, Chapman says, with females heading out to breeding grounds to find mates or to birthing grounds to give birth. To distinguish between these two possibilities, the team is trying to figure out whether females are pregnant by using ultrasound and developing a hormone-based blood test. The researchers also returned last summer and tagged another 41 sharks to get more data on movements.
The pattern of staying close to one area means that well-enforced protected areas can not only help reef sharks , which tend to stay in one place, but also some big ocean-going sharks. The Bahamas banned long-line fishing, a technique that is prone to accidentally catching sharks, in the 1990s and then banned the trade of sharks in 2011.
These kinds of data are very helpful for developing ecological risk assessments that can help international fisheries managers make decisions, says John Carlson, a shark expert with NOAA Fisheries Service in Panama City, Florida. "We haven't had a lot of good information on oceanic whitetips," he says. Next year, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna will revise its risk assessment for pelagic sharks, including the oceanic whitetip.
Meanwhile, environmental groups, including the Pew Charitable Trusts, which helped fund Chapman's research, are advocating for more protection of oceanic whitetips and other sharks. In March, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora will vote on a proposal to ban the international trade in whitetip sharks.

What it is
Ford Explorer America Concept Preview – Detroit Auto Show: It's now official: Body-on-frame SUVs have lost the fight to crossovers. This news comes not from an announcement from the International Federation of Sport Utility Manufacturers or something, but from a new Ford concept car, the Explorer America. Hear the name "Explorer," and you think of the original SUV, a body-on frame truck that transformed the definition of a family hauler. The Explorer America is a very futuristic look at what the next iteration of the vehicle could be and – surprise – it's a crossover.
Why it Matters
The Explorer's sales have plummeted in recent years as the popularity of crossovers has increased. It's no surprise, really. Truck-based SUVs like the Explorer can't measure up to the comfort and familiar driving characteristics of car-based crossovers, and the vast majority of buyers don't care a whit if the traditional SUV is better off road. Ford's not the first to ditch the SUV for crossovers; GM summarily executed the Chevy Trailblazer and GMC Envoy for crossovers for the exact same reason. Yet neither of those were as iconic as the Explorer.What's Under the Hood
In an interesting move, Ford announced that the Explorer America Concept comes with one of two different engines. The first is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo with 275 horsepower, while the premium engine is a 3.5-liter V-6 with 340 horses. Fuel efficiency is said to improve by 20 to 30 percent versus the current V-6 Explorer. Either engine will be mated to a six-speed automatic with something called "auto shift control," which allows the driver to hold a lower gear when needed with just the turn of a dial.
What it Looks Like
Despite the front end treatment, there's a lot about the Explorer America that looks buildable. The profile hews to Ford's current styling language, looking a little like a longer wheelbase Edge and a Taurus X. The flared fenders are exaggerated, but we like the muscular stance. We're surprised that the big Ford chrome grille is gone, replaced with a body-color one. What really knocked us over was the sliding rear door...yup, just like a minivan. We doubt that would make it to production, since anything hinting at a minivan is almost suicidal in today's market, but overall if Ford goes to production with something that looks close to this, they'll have a very fashionable offering.
What's Inside
If the exterior looks plausible, the interior is, um, not. The seats are thin, but stackable, the tailgate includes an integrated work table and seats, and a cool three-dimensional compass and navigation system are perched on the instrument panel. The black-on-silver theme is one of those not-too-distant future things we expect from concept cars, and the kind that never get delivered in production. In this case, it's probably a good idea, as the form is not particularly flattering.
What Ford Says
Press releases can be fun sometimes. Take this line from the Explorer America's info: "In the 1990s, customers were drawn by SUVs aligned with people's adventurous, more rugged lifestyles. Today's consumers are more discerning, demanding products that are capable and flexible – but more intelligently executed." Hey, did Ford just call the first Explorer dumb? The company thinks more highly of its customers, of course: "Customers are smart," said Jim Farley, Ford group vice president of marketing and communications. "They value vehicles – the more efficient, the better." This is about as close as we'll ever come to Ford admitting that the current generation Explorer should have been a crossover in the first place.
What We Think
It's time for the Explorer to change. Past time, really, as the Explorer's lunch has been comprehensively consumed for the past couple of years. The new concept looks good, and the more realistic-sounding components – the drivetrain and the exterior styling – will be good forward steps for the company. Expect to see production versions in middle-class driveways nation wide by early next decade.

M1 Garand good for hunting?

M1s have been used for hunting for years. IMHO (I own 4), I think that they are too heavy to lug around if you're stalking.
That said, for an ethical hunter, you'll want to use an expanding bullet on deer (I've recently developed a liking for Barnes TSX bullets for hunting applications). Also the propellant and load may be less than ideal for the M1's very specific pressure curve requirements. These requirements can be easily accomplished with a Schuster or McCann adjustable gas plug. Indeed, purchasing a two- or five-round sled clip for the M1 can limit your ammo to legal requirements for your chosen hunting area. If you attempt to use M2 ball equivalent (150gr FMJ), the bullets will not expand...if you attempt to use a standard hunting load, you may learn a new way to disassemble your Garand, one not recommended.
I might choose to use a 5-round sled with a good hunting load, setting the adjustable gas plug wide open to transform the M1 into a single shot, straight-pull bolt action were I to use one for hunting. For roughly $100, you can buy a forward scope base to replace the rear hand guard; this will allow the addition of a scout scope.
As to the poster who said he was going to use the Hornady 168 gr A-MAX bullet, please rethink that idea. The A-MAX is a match target bullet, not a hunting bullet. The Hornady line has wonderful hunting bullets (I've used GMXs)...take the approach I noted above. BTW, I love the A-Max 168gr bullet and use it in my match handloads. BTW, the weight and semi-auto action don't trouble me for hunting, but the required accuracy for the military was 3-4 MOA...mine are 2-3 MOA shooters with M2 Ball and 2 MOA shooters with Hornady match.

Are you swooning yet? We know. WE KNOW. The next episode of Reserve Channel's Hooked Up, hosted by Tom Colicchio, will star his "good friend" Josh Charles, whom we guess is also on The Good Wife, but WHATEVER, because what you, dear reader, most assuredly recognize him from is seminal 1989 litnerd classic Dead Poets Society.
He speaks approximately zero words in the trailer clip for the episode below, in which he and Tom fish the Chesapeake Bay. But does he really need to say anything else ever again when he once said all this?
Stay tuned for the next installment of Hooked Up, where, in spite of the fact that fish will probably be what's for dinner, the marrow of life will still be sucked. Enthusiastically.
WATCH: Tom Colicchio And Jerry Stackhouse Get Punked By A Dolphin

Category: love goddess names
Here is our annual Valentine's Day blog—think of it as a love letter to the whole community of Berries.
Valentine's Day certainly isn't the only time we can think about names related to love, but it does present an opportunity to look at the theme–names that will make a child feel especially adored–and its many variations.
First of all, there are the Valentine names that relate most directly to the holiday and its traditional symbols:
- Valentina
- Valentine
- Valentino
- Hart
- Cupid
- Arrow
- Dart
- Rose (favorite flower of the Roman goddess of love)
- Lacey
- Dove
Then there are the words-of-endearment names, though some of them might be wiser to use in the middle spot, as in Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Tobey Maguire's daughter Ruby Sweetheart and Kate Winslet's Mia Honey:
- Adoree
- Amorosa, Amoroso
- Angel
- Beloved
- Cara
- Carina
- Carita
- Caro
- Cher
- Cherie
- Cherish
- Corazon
- Honey
- Love

Well, this is possibly the most heartbreaking scene you'll see today. This amazing father and deployed military man made some pre-recorded bedtime stories for his 2-year-old daughter while he was away. And from the look of it, she can't tell.
On the one hand, she does seem overjoyed to see her dad — and that LCD screen hug at the end is a definite tearjerker. But the notion of a computer standing in for a father is… pretty awful. Unlike a video chat or message between two people with developed brains, I doubt a two year old can really comprehend what's going on. Does she think he's really there? Does she think he's inside the screen? She repeatedly tries to talk to him, though of course hugs him like he's a computer, not like a human. It's a strange mix of childhood adorableness, developmental psychology, and tech. Like the baby with the iPad, this girl's part of a generation where the screen and the virtual things on it might seem more real than what they're reproducing. And it's one thing when it's an issue of Vogue — but what about when it's a dad? [Reddit via BuzzFeed]

Hello holidays. I can almost smell you. I've already started dressing like it's G&T O'Clock. All day. Every day.
And you know what that means, don't you? Every single maxi dress I own is on high rotation {with more than the odd kaftan thrown in for good measure!}.
It's no State Styling You Secret that I love me a maxi dress and that I've never met a woman who I couldn't convince to give one a go either.
Don't believe me? Head on over and check out this post and then come on back. I wrote it more than a year ago and I still stand by it.
The case for the maxi
Maxi dresses give you permission to wear flats and still feel fabulous.
As soon as you pop one on, you immediately look more dressed up than in a short dress.
It's one garment. Summer dressing does not get any more simple than that.
Style tips
Keep it streamlined. Too much fabric and someone will throw a couple of guy ropes in your general direction and try to peg your "tent" into position.
Look for styles that show your shape. Petit? A fitting tank style works a treat. On the curvy side, seek out A-line or styles that fall from under your bust.
Shopping suggestions
Plenty of stores are already on sale so if you see something that will suit perfectly for the Christmas/New Year period jump on it. Click on each image, then click on the caption for where to buy.
See anything you like? What are you wearing Christmas Day?

Jack Black is now blaming his wife for his blurting out the Brangelina Twins scoop.
The Kung Fu Panda star told The Today Show that wifey Tanya Haden was behind his big leak while being interviewed with co-star Angelina Jolie in Cannes.
As The ENQUIRER previously reported, when grilled where Jack got his information, the snarky lark was on-the-record during the interview as saying he'd read it in The ENQUIRER.
Now Black has recanted, telling Today host Meredith Vieira, "It was my wife's fault.
"She said, like it was common knowledge, 'Angelina's having twins' – because my wife is a triplet, and she was interested in that."
Or perhaps she's the one who keeps up with The ENQUIRER?

Is it normal for Dr to wait until the drains are removed to use the garment after the TT and Lipo? Also, about the drains, I am doing around 25cc every 24 hrs, is it a good time to remove the drains, or wait until I have less fluid?
