I've tried all kinds of whitening products over the years, few if any really worked well. All made my teeth sensitive. Crest white Strips were the most painful. You couldn't pay me to use those again! Whitening toothpastes are a nice idea, but don't work any better than regular toothpaste. After reading reviews here, I decided to spend the big $7 and give Plus White shot. I'm so glad I did! It actually works - really well and it's pain free! I have zero complaints about this product. It's a big tube and lasts a long time. What's a little mess, just use less. Rinse well. No big deal. For $7 this is a steal. Just put a little in the soft pliable tray; don't go all the way to the ends; just enough for the center top & bottom. Put it in and make sure the gel squishes up to cover the whole tooth and let it sit per package directions. Rinse and you're done. No pain and after a few days, whiter teeth. Make sure you brush your teeth prior to using, it'll work better.
I'll definitely repurchase and I highly recommend you try it!

By PATRICK FLANARY
To soundproof the barn, the men hung scraps of wet carpet they'd collected from a nearby Dumpster. A guitar tech scattered space heaters around the barn to keep the band warm — they'd been at it for four straight days, building their sound stage on a vintage wild west movie lot in the middle of the desert. True DIY stuff. Rock 'n' roll.
With the physical labor behind them, Cracker faced its real task in late February 1993, recording a followup to their successful debut for Virgin Records. The band, along with late producer Don Smith, began rolling tape on what would become Kerosene Hat, the album that introduced the flannel-clad MTV generation to alt-country anthems like Low at the height of grunge.
For 20 years, frontman David Lowery and guitarist Johnny Hickman have comprised the core of Cracker, which returns to Tampa on Saturday for a show with the Reverend Horton Heat at Ritz Ybor.
"Tampa is one of those places that's always been good to Cracker," says Lowery, 49, from his Richmond, Va. studio. "It seems like every summer we play Tampa. Why don't we go there when it's cold?"
Many Cracker fans — the most dedicated call themselves "Crumbs" — have followed Lowery's 30-year musical path since he formed '80s Southern California band Camper Van Beethoven. When Lowery disbanded the group in 1990, he partnered with childhood friend Hickman and moved across the country to form Cracker the following year. The band's first two albums, Cracker and Kerosene Hat, fused folk and punk influences with bar room blues at a time when Seattle rockers like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains ruled radio airplay.
Between the demands of fatherhood and touring the country, Lowery has tinkered with a very different kind of project over the last five years: his first solo record. He hopes to release the album sometime after Cracker's road schedule winds down in September.
"I've gotten a little slower at songwriting, but I've found that I've gotten a lot more comfortable," he explains. "You've got to be willing to make mistakes."
Nearly two decades since its commercial peak, Cracker brings some of the band's most confident and direct songs to its 2009 album, Sunrise in the Land of Milk and Honey. Hey Bret and I Could Be Wrong, I Could Be Right exemplify Hickman's classic raw riffs and Lowery's twang-tinged rebel yell. Cracker is indeed a band of rebels; following its 2003 split with Virgin, Cracker defiantly rerecorded fan favorites and issued a greatest hits package to compete with its former label's similar release.
"I've seen bands listen to the wrong people and start shaping themselves in the direction they think is expected of them instead of what they expect of themselves," says Hickman, 53. "It always ends up falling on its face somehow. But we still sound like Cracker. At the end of the day, I'll fall asleep in a hotel in New Jersey or Spain or wherever I am, and feel very thankful that we've gotten away with it for 20 years."
The band will wrap its tour with its traditional campout in the desert on Sept. 10, a birthday Lowery and Hickman share. The weekend-long music celebration in Pioneertown, Calif., even offers the Crumbs a spot next door to the place that sparked Cracker's do-it-yourself career — the old Kerosene Hat barn.

Kansas runs winning streak to 17Jan 27, 2013 - 12:18 AM
Travis Releford netted 10 points with five rebounds and five assists for the Jayhawks (18-1, 6-0 Big 12), who extended their nation-leading winning streak to 17 games. Elijah Johnson and Naadir Tharpe contributed eight points apiece in the victory.
Romero Osby and Amath M'Baye each totaled 12 points for the Sooners (13-5, 4-2), who have dropped 12 straight at Allen Fieldhouse and the last 10 in the series. Steven Pledger donated 10 points in the loss.
Both teams struggled shooting after the first 20 minutes of play, as Oklahoma shot 28.6 percent from the floor compared to 38.7 percent for Kansas. The Jayhawks led, 29-21.
The Sooners also went just 2-of-7 from 3-point range, with Kansas going 1-of-6 from beyond the arc.
The poor shooting translated over into the start of the second half, in which Jayhawks opened up the stanza on just a 13-10 run. Johnson's 3-pointer with 11:42 remaining made the score 42-31.
"It was a ballgame where we were trying to hang in there most of the way and just couldn't quite ever get to a point where we threatened seriously down the stretch," Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said. "Kansas is awfully good. I thought they were great defensively. They've got a lot of guys on the perimeter who guard the ball very, very well."
Minutes later, back-to-back 3-pointers by Tharpe and McLemore changed the trend, giving KU a 49-35 advantage. It also began a 13-6 Jayhawks' run, which ended when Withey caught a wide-open pass from Johnson underneath the hoop for an easy dunk and 56-41 lead with under five minutes remaining.
OU stayed around, however, with Osby and M'Baye providing some offense late, but clutch 3-pointers by Johnson and McLemore widened the gap to 62-48 with 1 1/2 minutes to go, giving Kansas enough of a cushion to hold on and remain unbeaten in conference play.
"Offensively we were stale again," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "We didn't have good guard play at all today. But we hung in there and won, and made some shots in the second half. It was good to see the ball go in the basket in the second half."
KU opened the contest up on 18-10 run capped by Jamari Traylor's lay-in midway through the first half, but started to really open things up with Kevin Young's steal and slam with 7:23 left in the period, giving the home team a 20-12 edge.
Withey's fourth block of the first half shortly afterward led to an easy Releford dunk, and Kansas extended its lead to 29-18 with 1:25 left before the break. Pledger concluded the stanza with his second trey of the game, however, to bring the Sooners within striking distance.
Game Notes
Kansas has now won 33 straight home contests, good for No. 2 in the nation among active streaks ... The Sooners' last win at Allen Fieldhouse came in 1993 ... Oklahoma shot 35.6 percent, including just 3-of-12 from 3-point range ... KU outscored the Sooners 28-16 on points in the paint .. Oklahoma came into the contest having won six of its last seven games ... The game was the 800th played at Allen Fieldhouse.

Snack bar
A snack bar usually refers to an inexpensive food counter that is part of a permanent structure where snack foods and light meals are sold.[1] A beach snack bar is often a small building situated high on the sand. Besides soft drinks, candies and chewing gum, some snack bars sell hot dogs, hamburgers, french fries, potato chips, corn chips and other foods. While this is usually the case, sometimes "snack bar" refers to a small café or cafeteria. Various small, casual dining establishments might be referred to as a "snack bar," including a beverage and snack counter at a movie theater and/or a small deli. Many places that have snack bars have a "No Outside Food or Drink" policy, to encourage sales.
The first known use of the word "snack bar" was in 1930.[2]

ND 1st baseman & '43 Kaneley Award winner passes away at 90
posted by Hickster
I hardly ever go to the baseball thread but for some reason I did tonight. I saw your post about your father and I was moved to write. I have lurked on this board for the better part of ten years but have never posted. I never thought I could add much to the conversation but always enjoy the heck out of reading everybody's thoughts.
When I was a senior at Notre Dame, I lived off campus at 1034 Eddy Street. The house no longer exists but the memories do. Our neighbors were a wonderful elderly couple – Mr. and Mrs. Hickey. We weren't the quietest neighbors and they put up with quite a bit but they never objected to our shenanigans. The neighborhood wasn't the safest and they would watch the house for us when we were gone on breaks. They would occasionally ask how things we going with our school life and would tell us stories about the old days of Notre Dame.
On the occasion of my graduation, they gave each of my roommates and me a wooden crucifix made from wood around Notre Dame and from Sacred Heart Church. They also gave each of our parents a small rosary made from St. Joseph corn. These items are proudly displayed in my "Notre Dame" room at home. They remind me of the specialness of Notre Dame and our neighbors my senior year.
Reading the story of your dad makes me think they might be relatives of yours. Could they have been your grandparents?
In any event, your father sounds like a man of great faith and works. You are justified to be so proud. I pray for the repose of his soul and speedy path to heaven where hopefully we can all meet someday.
Thanks for the respone...I have not read this thread in

Dogs 犬
More than 48 million households in Japan keep pets, according to a 2004 survey by the Japanese pet food manufacturers' association. In 2003, the number of dogs rose by more than 1.5 million to 11.3 million.
The number of dogs being kept as domestic pets in Japan (along with other more exotic animals) began increasing sharply during the economic boom of the "Bubble Years" of the 1980s.
The domestic pet population is experiencing a second spike as the economy picks up again and Japan's population rapidly ages. Nearly a fifth of Japanese - 24 million people - are aged 65 or older; by 2050, they will account for 35% of the population.
More pensioners are turning to pets for companionship as their children leave home and dogs are also cute accessories for the younger generation.
Specialist restaurants for pets have appeared in Tokyo and there is now a 40-room pet hotel at Kansai International Airport - costing up to US$100 a night - for owners to leave their animals while away on holiday.

Phillip Phillips Backstage at 'Idol': Colton Rivalry 'Just For Show'
Forget the oldies! This week, American Idol contestants weren't forced to awkwardly sing a hit from before they were born. Instead, they selected songs that hit the charts in the last three years. So for once, they were already familiar with their songs… and the audience could sing along too!
From backstage at Idol — where I sat in the pressroom watching Wednesday's show — it was clear which contestants are quickly becoming fan favorites. Jimmy Iovine got it right when noted the (somewhat) manufactured fight for the female vote between Colton Dixon and Phillip Phillips. If you were choosing the winner based on yesterday's performances, you would have to give the victory to Colton, who experienced near-deafening shrinks as he sang "Love The Way You Lie" by Skylar Grey. (And my fellow reporters were quite enthusiastic about the young contestant as well.) With hands waving in the air, it's undeniable that the girls loved Colton… and the judges do too.
That's not to say that Phillip, who sang Maroon 5 hit, "Give Me A Little More," doesn't have his fans. So is there a growing rivalry between these two front-runners? Don't put your own money on it — Phillip told me backstage that he has no interest in being pitted against Colton for the rest of the competition. "Colton is awesome guy," Phillip said. "We are both completely different in music style, so, to me, there is nothing to compare… Jimmy's [comments] are just for show."
Phillip also joined Elise Testone on stage for a duet of "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye. As if this song wasn't stuck in your head already, Fox made sure that you would know it by end of this week. (In addition to the American Idol duet, Darren Criss and Matt Bomer also sang the song on Glee. And, according to this reporter, Glee's version was stronger.)
Elise was not only praised for her performance in the duet, but received lots of love from the judges for her performance of Lady Gaga's "Yoü and I." Joining Elise in this week's winner's circle — at least when it came to the judges' opinions — was country songstress Skylar Laine, going back to her roots with the song, "You Don't Know How Much I Loved You" by Idol alum Kellie Picker. And since Idol is never one to let romance rumors die, the series once again paired Skylar with Colton for a duet of "Don't You Wanna Stay" by Kelly Clarkson. After the performance, Steven declared that they just made love singing to each other. While many in the audience looked amused at the comment, one person probably didn't find it so funny: Skylar's real-life boyfriend, who she told me about backstage. "Me and Colton aren't dating. My boyfriend knows me and Colton aren't dating," she said. Sorry, Idol.
Stepping away from the romance rumor patrol, Jessica Sanchez and Joshua Ledet also gave strong individual performances. Joshua, like Colton, filled the room with cheers even before he even sang the first note of Bruno Mars' "Runaway Baby." (And you gotta love the matching shirt and socks!) But when Jessica and Joshua joined Hollie for a performance of "Stronger" by another Idol alum, Kelly Clarkson, it all fell apart… even if the judges didn't seem to notice. Those of us backstage — and, I bet, those of you watching from home — clearly heard a performance plagued by pitch problems, to say the least. And that was just the start of Hollie's underwhelming night — she failed to impress again this week with her individual performance of Pink's "Perfect." You know it's a sad day when Ryan Seacrest, who also appeared to having his own cheering section in the audience, squeamishly told Hollie she was "stronger than last week" after the judges gave her another round of critical comments. However, she told me she's taking everything in stride. "I've been in the bottom three for the last two weeks now and I just keep getting bad feedback. I don't feel like my performances are horrible, but maybe some [contestants] have more experience or control," she said.
Perhaps Hollie's positive attitude stems from the support of her fellow contestants, who all told me they were all upset to see her tossed through the ringer with the judges once again this week. As Elise told me, "She was so good tonight. I cried when she was singing because it was the best I had ever heard sing and that's why I was so mad. I was really, really into it and I cry when they give her bad feedback because she didn't deserve it." Of course, we'll have to see if the judges' comments translate to danger for Hollie — will she once again find herself in the bottom three tonight? Come back tomorrow to see a full report from CBS Television City — I'll be in the audience for what will likely be, like last week, a dramatic taping. At least, if Idol can help it!

Archrivals AgustaWestland and Eurocopter will join forces on a major environmental research program that will include integration technology demonstrators (ITDs) for a greener helicopter. The project–part of the larger E1.6 billion ($2.2 billion) Clean Sky Joint Technology Initiative–is expected to yield innovations such as smart blades for the main rotor and electric drive for the tail rotor. The project is funded in part by the European Commission.
As part of the Green Rotorcraft ITD program, the companies will study an "intelligent" main rotor blade that incorporates an active control system for mechanical and fluid dynamics. It can use movable tabs or flaps–actuated by piezo-electric components or smart materials–an AgustaWestland spokesman told AIN. Sensors installed on the blade supply the required data.
Two loops could be installed on a blade. The first one, to control vibration, could use a smart spring close to the root of the blade. The second, to control noise, could use active shape control at the blade tip to counter the local vortex. Each loop includes a sensor array, an adaptive controller and the actuator.
The partners are also exploring how to drive the tail rotor electrically, and independently of the main rotor. The result would be a reduction in the number of mechanical connections. There would no longer be a tail-rotor shaft and intermediate gearboxes. The availability of a suitable electric motor, with a practicable power-to-weight ratio, is critical to the project's success.
Research engineers are also eyeing conformable fairings to reduce drag. "The most significant contribution to rotorcraft drag is from both bluff bodies–such as the rotor head and the undercarriage–and aerodynamic interactions," the spokesman told AIN. On the rotor head, a conformable fairing would change its shape according to the flight conditions. This would optimize aerodynamics. "We would still guarantee safety and maintainability requirements," he added.
He also pointed out that total drag depends on the combined interactions between components, rather than on the performance of a single element, so better integration can improve performance. Eurocopter and AgustaWestland will study how the main rotor wake affects the fuselage flow field.
The companies will also study specific aspects of the tiltrotor, such as wing design, flow control for rotor-wing interaction and reduced rotor-head drag in cruise. They will also assess the impact of the tilt angle on acoustic signature during approach.
As a continuation of research programs Friendcopter and Optimal, the Green Rotorcraft ITD will study environmentally friendly flight paths, the goal being to reduce noise and fuel consumption. Researchers will also focus on satellite navigation, among other tools.
The European Council of Ministers is expected to adopt the project formally this month. The European Commission has approved the JTI as part of its seventh framework program for research; now the state ministers must vote on the initiative.

Lake Wobegon® Brass Band is headed to Northfield once again to entertain the masses in the Vintage Band Festival.
The four-day festival slated for Aug. 1-4 features a wide variety of brass bands nationwide and from as far away as Germany, Austria and Sweden.
The Anoka-based Lake Wobegon Brass Band will perform two 50-minute concerts, the first on Aug. 3, 11 a.m., at Bridge Square and a second concert at 3:30 p.m. in Way Park.
"It is a great honor to be invited to the Vintage Band Festival and also a great pleasure to travel to Northfield for the event," said director Michael Halstenson in an email. "The weekend is filled with such a variety of music performances ranging from bands performing music from the Civil War period to modern ensembles such as the Lake Wobegon Brass Band.
"We perform a lighter concert with a variety of pieces ranging from a bit of serious brass band literature to marches to a great arrangement of Penny Lane. The small town atmosphere provides a great setting for concerts throughout the weekend," Halstenson said.
The brass band, with the blessings of storyteller and radio personality Garrison Keillor, is named after his well-known fictional town, Lake Wobegon, that he alludes to in his weekly NPR "A Prairie Home Companion" show.
Among its many notable performances, the Lake Wobegon® Brass Band played for Keillor's 35th anniversary of his radio show.
Chris Ravndal is the brass band's executive manager and principal solo cornet player.
"We had a blast being a part of the Vintage Band Festival in 2006 and 2010 and look forward to a chance to be a part of the festivities again in Northfield this summer," Ravndal said in a statement.
Lake Wobegon® Brass Band was formed in 1992.

Impasse II®High Security Steel Fence
Perimeter Security, Revolutionized
Ameristar's original Impasse® fence revolutionized perimeter security with its remarkable strength, intimidating profile and integrated rail design. The next generation of Impasse high security fencing takes that innovation to a whole new level.
What makes Impasse II security fence panels superior to its already impressive predecessor is its bracketless design, heavier posts and redesigned rail which allows even easier integration with intrusion detection systems, closed circuit video and other surveillance and monitoring devices.
Visual & Physical Security
The heavy steel construction and intimidating looks of Impasse II security fence act as visual deterrents against intrusion. Just looking at the solid lines of Impasse II causes a potential intruder to think twice about challenging this fence. If an intruder does decide try to breach the perimeter, Impasse II's design delays the attempt, allowing the facility more time to respond. For a project that requires high security, the Impasse II steel palisade fence system is vastly superior to metal mesh or chain link.

My favorite kind of haters are the ones that are all like "omg this fanfic that's intentionally trying to be creepy is creeping me out, so the guy who wrote it must be creepy and seriously mentally deranged irl and it couldn't possibly mean he's just good at setting atmosphere or anything." Come at me bro.
I have the same birthday as Kevin Sorbo. Now please excuse me while I go use my Greek demigod powers to command a starship in a really bad Conan the Barbarian prequel.
I want to start a band called Dr. Serizawa and the Oxygen Destroyers. No one in the band will actually be named Dr. Serizawa.
I found exactly one guy on Hongfire who likes Terrible Things Happen to Akane and thinks it's a genuine improvement over the source material. My life has been validated.
I don't get people who make their profile longer than any of the actual stories they've written.
In the words of Isaac Marion, "I write strange stories about strange events, often from the perspectives of strange things. I apologize in advance for any injury or inconvenience."
That's about all there is to know about me.

ELYRIA — In an interview with an Elyria police detective, Luis Lopez said he tripped over a pair of shoes at the bottom of the stairs while holding 2-year-old Aaviana Payne, causing her to fall and hit her back and head on the floor, the day before her death, according to court testimony.
Elyria police Detective Lisa Dietsche testified during Lopez's preliminary hearing Monday at the Elyria Municipal Court. Lopez, 25, has been charged with child endangering and involuntary manslaughter in connection with Payne's death, just after midnight Sept. 11.
However, Dietsche said Lopez initially said Aaviana had stayed in bed and slept through the day. She said he then changed his story to include the fall on the stairs. Aaviana had been immobile because of a spica cast, which immobilizes the hips.
After the fall on the stairs, Lopez said Aaviana was awake but would not speak or take her sippy cup, Dietsche said.
"He immediately took her back upstairs, closed the door and didn't tell anyone," she said.
Dietsche said Lopez lived with Margot Young, Aaviana's mother, at a Rosewood Drive apartment beginning July 1 and cared for Aaviana while Young, 26, was at work. Young later came home and checked on Aaviana the evening of Sept. 10, and said she had been snoring.
Aaviana died because of blood collecting on the surface of her brain, caused by blunt head trauma, Dietsche said. Aaviana was in the cast because of a broken ankle and femur, caused by two separate injuries, she said.
Dietsche said she learned Aaviana broke her ankle in an accident after jumping off a bed at the end of July, but no one could explain how Aaviana broke her femur.
"We don't know how the femur break occurred," she said.
Dietsche said she learned from interviews with several people that Lopez had been holding Aaviana while cooking and grease had either spilled or popped up, causing multiple burns.
Aaviana did not receive medical care for the burns, she said. Dietsche described burns on both of Aaviana's feet as "immersion-type," with a clear line where they stopped.
Aaviana also had a torn and bruised frenulum, which is the piece of skin connecting the upper lip to the gum line. Dietsche said a torn frenulum can sometimes be a sign of abuse, because the injury can be caused by a blow to the face.
The case was transferred to the Lorain County Court, and Judge Lisa Locke Graves denied defense attorney Kenneth Ortner's request for a reduction in bond, or a personal bond. Ortner said testimony indicated the injuries were accidental.
Locke Graves said she denied the request because Lopez had been previously convicted of child endangering. As a condition of his bond, Lopez is not allowed to have any contact with Young. Lopez remains in custody at the Lorain County Jail. He is being held on a $250,000 bond for each charge.

Mazda Motor Corp. said Wednesday it will launch a hybrid version of the Axela compact car in Japan on Nov. 22, entering into the segment for the first time amid growing competition.
The fully renovated Axela, known as the Mazda3 abroad, will also come in gasoline and diesel versions. The hybrid car will only be sold in Japan for now. The other two models are already being sold in North America and will go on sale in Europe starting this month and in other Asian markets down the road.
"Including our first hybrid, all three models will be able to offer high traveling performance and environmental friendliness," President Masamichi Kogai said at a news conference in Tokyo.
The hybrid version, which employs Toyota Motor Corp.'s hybrid system, can run 30.8 km per liter, making it almost as fuel efficient as Toyota's mainstay Prius hybrid.
The gasoline model gets 19.6 km per liter, a 26 percent improvement over its predecessor.
The diesel model will be put on the domestic market in January, the company said.
The cars will be offered at retail prices between ¥1,711,500 and ¥2,982,000. The automaker plans to sell 500,000 units of the flagship car in the global market annually.
Since its launch in 2003, the Axela has sold more than 3.7 million units in around 120 countries, accounting for roughly 30 percent of Mazda's global sales.

Córdoba read extensively about Madison's history, then observed the city directly.
What does Madison's soul look like?
Mexican muralist José Guadalupe Ríos Córdoba has been asking himself this question since arriving in town last month from Madison's Mexican sister city, Tepatitlán. As part of an international artist exchange, he will soon begin working on a mural for the Madison Municipal Building.
The mural is designed to convey both the heart and history of Madison. Visitors can watch Córdoba paint it until Aug. 15 in the Doty Street entryway. There will be a dedication ceremony at noon on Aug. 18.
The exchange was the idea of Sal Carranza, co-chair of Madison's Sister City Collaboration Committee. A Kickstarter campaign called Bringing Madison's History to Life has been launched to raise funds to help the project continue. The exchange began with local muralist Sharon Kilfoy creating a mural at a Tepatitlán elementary school.
"Sharon is considered our resident community artist," Carranza says. "Jose is their resident official artist. He is recognized all over."
Kilfoy mentions an impressive mural Córdoba created in Tepatitlán's city hall.
"You walk through it and pass into an open-air courtyard. The mural covers both sides of the wall and the ceilings. It's just wonderful."
Córdoba paints in a Mexican mural tradition that reached its peak from the 1920s through the 1950s. Begun as a way for illiterate citizens to learn their own history, the tradition remains a powerful, pictorial display of what is important to the people of a specific area.
Córdoba read extensively about Madison's history, then observed the city directly. He also received input from local residents. His final design incorporates many of their ideas.
In the planned mural, the Capitol is surrounded by several ethnic groups that helped build Madison: Ho Chunk Native Americans, Europeans, African Americans and Latinos. Also represented are major historical contributions by the progressive movement, equal opportunity legislation, the women's movement, the UW, and the gay and lesbian community. Córdoba plans to fit in some of the protests and rallies that have occurred here as well.
"Jose didn't want the mural to be politicized, but when he spoke to Mayor Soglin, [the mayor] said that Madison has a tradition of progressive activism. Jose felt he could portray that best by using silhouettes of rallies and protest signs, without representing any one particular event," Carranza says.
References to the environmental movement and dairy farming are planned, along with depictions of lesser-known figures like Cordelia Harvey, who cared for orphans during the Civil War.
Córdoba was deeply moved by Harvey's compassion. He says it points to what he finally discovered to be the true soul of Madison: human rights.
"The delegation that first came to sign the sister city agreement said they felt that Madison is a utopian city," Córdoba says. "I wanted to confirm what they told me, and I did. Madison is a beautiful city, a diverse city, a city of high ideals. I hope that people in Madison will see themselves reflected. And see how the world sees them."

Customer review "*OVERCLOCKED* Intel Pentium Dual-Core E6500 @ 3.60GHz / Gigabyte GA-P43-ES3G Intel P43 Motherboard /"
Just installed the Bundle with a 5770 Radeon, fantastic performance.
a Bit tricky installing the Heatsink, but it comes with the CPU & Ram installed. runs at around 1.8 GHz with pre-configured settings and shoots up to 3.4 Ghz as soon as the CPU activity rises.
very pleased also with Overclockers Support,
Good system for that kind of money recomend and comes preinstalled cpu and ram just need to put fan on and off you go
Very easy to install, had it up and running without a problem. Quick also 5/5
Bought this for a build and booted up straight 2.5Ghz at 30 degrees. Fantastic bit of kit and it runs so fast aswell. 5/5
Picked this bundle up last week - took no time at all to set up, just installed the cooler and I was away. It runs well, nice and stable and at decent temperatures even under load. An absolute steal at the offer price - Coupled with Radeon 3850X2, I can finally play all of the latest games! Arrived literally the next day as well. Once again, Overclockers offer great service at a reasonable price, which is why I use them time and time again.
Nice package
Worked out of the box with no problems. OC BIOS tuning delivers 3.2GHz as it says on the tin. Performance is superb. Arctic cooler is very efficient and quiet - the CPU idles at around 35 degrees, reaching about 55 when heavily loaded. Only slight complaint is lack of AGP on the MB - but that's not OC's fault. Recommended.
Great buy
I've just built a system for my son using this bundle and I'm very impressed with the level of performance for such a modest cost. Excellent value !

Andrea Berloff, one of the writers behind the Oliver Stone movie World Trade Center, has signed on to write Straight Outta Compton. Straight Outta Compton is a film that will document the rise and fall of iconic Hip Hop group N.W.A.
Hollywood Reporter reports that the film will be produced by Ice Cube and Matt Alvarez of Cube Vision as well as Eazy-E 's widow Tomica Wood.
News of a possible film about N.W.A. was first reported over a year ago with some reports stating that former 8 Mile director Curtis Hanson would be directing the film.
Aside from writing the script for World Trade Center, Berloff also wrote The Refugees a film about a group of international refugee soccer kids who move to Atlanta.
It is still unclear when production for Straight Outta Compton will begin.
Formed in the mid 80's, N.W.A. gained notoriety for their controversial subject matter but still went on to sell millions of records. The group eventually disbanded in the early 90's.

Mead to Washington state on coal missionMay 29, 2014 By Ben Neary, The Associated Press
Wyoming is casting about for new international coal markets in the face of flagging domestic demand.
Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead heads to Washington state next week to push for access to ocean ports to allow export of Wyoming coal to Asia even as many politicians and residents in the Northwest voice increasing concern about the effects of burning coal on global warming.
Mead, a Republican who says he's skeptical that global warming is caused by humans, has made trade missions to Asia and is eager to start exports from Wyoming, the nation's leading coal-producing state.
Wyoming is casting about for new international coal markets in the face of flagging domestic demand. New coal plant construction in the United States has sputtered to a halt, sandbagged by the combination of cheap natural gas and tough new federal coal emissions standards.
"Expanding markets for Wyoming products is a priority I have engaged for some time," Mead said Wednesday. "I know about the demand in South Korea, Taiwan and Japan for our coal. Increasing exports, including coal, will lead to economic growth and more jobs."
Mead intends to be in Washington state Tuesday and Wednesday to meet with legislators and business leaders and to tour the Millennium Bulk Terminals, a planned coal port on the Columbia River near Longview, Wash.

Crews make progress against Kern County wildfire
ALTA SIERRA, Calif. (AP) Crews have managed to build a firebreak to protect homes from a wildfire burning in the southern Sierra Nevada.
George Broyles of the U.S. Forest Service says a bulldozer has hacked out a fireline in the Sequoia National Forest, about 35 miles northeast of Bakersfield.
Voluntary evacuations were called after dry lightning ignited the blaze Monday a few miles from the areas of Alta Sierra, Slick Rock and Shirley Meadows.
Broyles says no homes remain threatened Wednesday. The 443-acre fire is 40 percent contained while a 406-acre fire a few miles away is 44 percent contained.
A ski resort and campgrounds remain closed.
Elsewhere, a 50-acre blaze near Lytle Creek in San Bernardino County is uncontained but isn't threatening homes. It was sparked Monday by lightning.

Ford Uses Carbon Fiber Hood to Reduce Vehicle Weight, Increase Fuel Efficiency

Ford's carbon fiber hood prototype
(Source: Ford Motor Company)
The new carbon fiber hood prototype weighs more than 50 percent less than the standard steel versions, yet is five times as strong as steel
Ford is looking to make its vehicles even more fuel efficient with a new prototype
carbon fiber
hood that weighs less than traditional versions.
The Ford European Research Centre partnered with Dow Automotive Systems in the Hightech.NRW research project to develop the carbon fiber hood prototype. Ford also collaborated with the Institute of Automotive Engineering at RWTH Aachen University, Toho Tenax, Composite Impulse, Henkel, IKV (Institute of Plastics Processing) and Evonik.
The new carbon fiber hood prototype weighs more than 50 percent less than the standard steel versions, yet is five times as strong as steel. The carbon fiber is also twice as stiff as steel and will reduce the weight of Ford vehicles by about 750 pounds by the end of the decade.
"It's no secret that
reducing a vehicle's weight
can deliver major benefits for fuel consumption, but a process for fast and affordable production of carbon fibre automotive parts in large numbers has never been available," said Inga Wehmeyer, advanced materials and processes research engineer for Ford European Research Centre. "By partnering with materials experts through the Hightech.NRW research project, Ford is working to develop a solution that supports cost efficient manufacturing of carbon fibre components."
The project started in 2010 and is expected to continue until September 2013. In that time frame, Ford and its partners set out to develop cost effective methods for carbon fiber manufacturing; reduce individual component production times; reduce the amount of finishing work required; meet requirements for painting, and reduce the component weight by at least 50 percent.
"There are two ways to reduce energy use in vehicles," said Paul Mascarenas, Ford chief technical officer and vice president of Research and Innovation. "Improving the conversion efficiency of fuels to motion and reducing the amount of work that powertrains need to do. Ford is tackling the conversion problem primarily through downsizing engines with EcoBoost and electrification while mass reduction and improved aerodynamics are keys to reducing the workload."
So far, the outcome has been a prototype carbon fiber hood that weighs more than 50 percent less than standard steel. The carbon fiber hood was placed in a
Ford Focus
at the Composites Europe event in Dusseldorf, Germany. Early testing suggests that it will meet Ford's standards for dent resistance, crash performance and stiffness.
Increasing fuel efficiency is crucial right now, considering the White House finalized the
54.5 MPG Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards
for 2017-2025 model years back in August of this year. The new standards aim to cut oil consumption/dependency, greenhouse gas emissions and encourage green vehicle adoption.
"We can't expect users to use common sense. That would eliminate the need for all sorts of legislation, committees, oversight and lawyers." -- Christopher Jennings

Your Cancer Risk Depends, in Part, on Where You Live
Of every 100,000 Americans, 451 of us will get cancer in a given year. But that varies depending on where you live: some counties have higher cancer rates than others. And those rates match up pretty well with this map of environmental quality, which you should check out now—because it may be the last of its kind.

I'm about to buy a copy of CS6 but I have a slight problem. Adobe's license allows you to install it on two computer that are owned by the same person. The concept is one desktop and one laptop. I want to do this but the keys are specific to one one platform (mac or PC) and I have a PC desktop and a mac laptop. Anyway know a legitimate way around this?
In volume licensing, Adobe distributes license keys for Mac and Windows with each license. Not sure about single end-user licenses though. You could always go for Adobe cloud. Which is actually a subscription as it requires a full install on the client. I believe these subscriptions are OS-blind, and they allow you to install it on a desktop and laptop as well.
If you can get along on CS2, Adobe seems to be giving it away for free on that page. Mac CS2 is PPC-only, so it won't run on any recent version of Mac OS, but you could install CS6 on your laptop and CS2 on your desktop, if it still has the features you need.

Depending on how legal you want to be. They're not giving it away, but providing a copy for people who have a CS2 license, but without whatever copy protection CS2 used because they're turning off the server. It's not free any more than CS6 is, it's just not protected, so if you're going to get that 'free' copy as far as adobe are concerned it's the same as if you're using a 'free' copy of CS6.
Well, since they're including the serial numbers on the same page, I don't think that argument really holds water.

Scratched is right. Running the 'free' CS2 from there makes you uncompliant.
Where are you getting this?
Where are you getting this?
There were various news articles stating this a bit ago. Some pointed to posts on the adobe forums ... but none of those posts seem to exist anymore. The closest I have found was a thread on the adobe forums where someone had copied and pasted it in, but again a link to the original post from an adobe representative no longer lead anywhere. There was a bit of an uproar in response to their statement, so perhaps they changed their minds again.
I had a poke around, and I saw this: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/p...
Effective December 13 2012, Adobe disabled the activation server for Creative Suite 2 products and Acrobat 7 because of a technical glitch. These products were released over seven years ago and do not run on many modern operating systems. But to ensure that any customers activating those old versions can continue to use their software, Adobe issued a serial number directly to those customers. While it could be interpreted as Adobe giving away software for free, Adobe did it to help its customers.
The way I interpret it is that adobe know full well how some people will see it, and all but acknowledge it. It comes back to the long standing rumour that companies like MS and adobe would prefer to have small scale people (i.e. not companies or commercial use) use a 'free' copy rather than not use it as it gives them the chance to convert them into paying customers later.
Without paying for it you've got no more or less of a license than any other 'free' version, just with this one the binaries are coming from a reputable source that's less likely to virus up your PC. If you're not going to pay for it, then why limit yourself to the 8 year old version, especially as the OP has a valid CS6 2 install license.
So, in other words, Adobe putting up binaries and serial numbers in its own webspace somehow isn't good enough?
I would absolutely accept the argument if they didn't post serials right next to the binaries. As is, I don't see how anyone could be successfully prosecuted for piracy, or how you could even wave a finger at them, really.

Chris Garneau: The New Gay Interview
Gay Brooklyn singer/songwriter Chris Garneau was originally discovered by a member of Xiu Xiu,but his music is more melodic and accessible than the queer-fronted band could ever claim. As a break from the more folksy and personal tracks of his 2007 debut, this July's El Radio sees a full compliment of glam-esque falsettos, melodic segues that would make George Harrison proud, and overall a sustained atmosphere of disquieted storytelling that elevates it above the ever-growing crop of sensitive young men with guitars. (And there's no good way to mention that Chris is really cute, but c'mon. You're seeing the same picture I am.)
DC residents who missed his opening set for Thao Nguyen and Xiu Xiu last spring might be able to get a second chance this summer. His new disc El Radio won't be released until then either (and I unfortunately couldn't find any tracks for you all online) but it's of high quality. You should be excited to hear it. And to get you even more excited in the intervening months, you should check out the following interview. Chris was nice enough to give us sometime on the phone to discuss pederastic midget clowns, the Williamsburg hipster scene and the supposed temptations of the road.
The New Gay: This album seems to be a real departure from your last one. How has your writing style grown or changed?
Chris Garneau: I've sort of made a decision to take a focus off myself. It started happening naturally and when I realized that's what I was doing I enhanced it more, and I just really have been writing about other people and thing that were happening in the world and other peoples' stories. What started happening in the last few years is I would hear these stories and they would become immediately inspiring.
"Dirty Night Clowns" was written about the crazy story, with a sad twist, of this guy who was a midget who was dressed up as a clown and was breaking into peoples' homes and molesting their children. There was personal story with it for a friend of mine, I entertained the idea of creating this character and addressing the issues that come with sexual abuse and particularly pedophilia, all of that crazy stuff. It was a chance to play on things that are real and really disturbing and sad, but also giving a different path with romantic characters. The same is true of "No More Pirates," which refers to the people that we generally don't like. The pirates I refer to are the people who abuse human rights, from politicians to militant fighters and warriors. "Fireflies" is the other songs that is mystical. There are these abstract characters and they all stand for something. That's the point of it anyway.
TNG: Is it safe to say that this is darker record than your last one?
CG: [laughing] I don't know if I would say darker, necessarily, it's more universal or global. The looming dark cloud over the whole world has been over me. That is darker. But is there hope? I'm wondering. The thing is, though, the songs we just talked about with the characters, I am attempting to bring whimsical light into that stuff and hopefully it's at least more fun to listen to even if the underlying ideas are a bit dark. I did want to have fun with this record, and the point of it is to keep talking about things that are really profound and important, and we do live in a beautiful planet and there is alot of fun and laughter and playing and love. It's dark and not dark, I guess.
TNG: The whole album has a sort of baroque or gypsy sound around it. Where does that come from?
CG: I studied piano from when i was very young. In my teens I studied classically, I was playing a lot Bach and other things. The classical training I had in my brain for so many years led to so many things that you hear now, things that are sort of modernizing that original sound.
TNG: I also thought that it had a real glam tinge to it as well, between all the piano and your falsetto it reminded me of Bowie or T-Rex. Is this the first you've heard of that?
CG: Yes, it is. That's really nice to hear, I appreciate that era. Actually its funny, I've sort of started listening to T-Rex again a lot lately on a daily basis. But nothing was intentional, I had never even gone there in my mind. Whatever it was was accidental. It's a nice compliment, though, so thank you.
TNG: I know that Jamie Stewart from Xiu Xiu brought you to your original record label. Are you still in touch? Is he a professional influence on you?
CG: we are in touch. I met [former Xiu Xiu member] Caralee McElroy much before Jamie, but when she joined the band is how I met him. He was able to help me out with a label and all of that good stuff. We're in touch, but everyone lives all over the place now. Caralee amd I are starting a side project in this coming year, it does not have a name yet.She's been so inspiring to me and so helpful in these last few years. She's gotten me on my feet, musically and in life. She's been very helpful to me.
TNG: How old are you?
TNG: It's impressive that you're a signed musician at that age. How does it affect you?
CG: I really feel like I'm in such the beginning right now, I still feel like everything is new. I'm learning something every single day. The struggle is still persistent. It's very difficult to make a living. It's hard to make this be the only thing that I do, so, you know I'm putting out a second record in hopes that things will get a little easier with it, and then a third and fourth. But it's cool, I'm really grateful for what is happening at the moment. That being said it's still very challenging and I hope there is more to come.
TNG: What are some of the mistakes you've made or lessons you've learned?
CG: Some mistakes I've made have been ones that I'm not sure I'm done making yet. That includes not properly taking care of myself when I should be, which directly affects the work that I'm trying to do. I'm getting better at that but it's still hard sometimes. It's really easy to get distracted. Just learning how to grow up is still challenging. More specifically, there are little boring things that come up all the time. The things I've learned abut being in the public eye a little bit, not that I'm entirely in in but I am sometimes, I've occasionally given info that I have later regretted, or I have said things about people that I shouldn't say, or been disrespectful and wished I hadn't been. It's hard to do because you forget you're not just talking to your friend, or someone you're just talking to. You have to be careful about the things you tell people… like maybe right now. That's just learning how it goes.
TNG: Are you single?
CG: Yeah, that's something I don't care to talk about anymore. That's definitely a weird road I would rather keep that to myself if you don't mind.
TNG: That's fine, I was just wondering about the temptations of the road, or if that's just something people project onto musicians.
CG: I wonder about that too. It seems like a very classic story, touring and being in a different place every day. I often wonder how it actually happens, because it's really hard to find a time to even send someone an email or make a phone call. I don't know how bands are constantly sleeping with different people every night or partying all the time. Maybe I'm doing something wrong when I'm on tour, but all I ever want to do is go back to the hotel and go to sleep. I mean, I like my drinks and I like to hang out, but by the time you finish a show and pack up and have a few drinks you have to eventually leave. I think it's more like the dude bands that works out for, they're a little nasty and they are drunk from when they wake up till when they go to bed, and they're maybe more misogynistic or taking advantage of people.
TNG: What's your relationship to the current crop of queer indie rockers like Ed Droste or Final Fantasy or Erik Blood?
CG: It's a weird area for me. I usually feel quite a bit of distance when it comes to sexuality, but general characteristics of music and bands and sort of genres, in all that it all starts getting cluttery in my head. As the queer thing goes, there are a good five or ten that comes up in groups all the time. [Final Fantasy's] Owen Pallette, [Grizzly Bear's] Ed Droste, Jamie Stewart,Patrick Wolf, there's this kind of common group of five or ten. I have been a big Grizzly Bear fan for a long time since they were playing small shows in Brooklyn, they've been influential and inspiring to me. Owen Pallette is someone I kinda know but don't know most of his music, and Jamie has been such a good friend and huge support. But I don't like when you start constantly seeing the same faces grouped together, It weirds me out or makes me feel alienated. I don't like feeling that way, or being grouped either,. It's a weird thing in my mind, its starting to be a hard question for me to answer.
TNG: This might be an easier question about groupings then: You're living solidly in the Brooklyn hipster scene. How do you feel about that? Is it something you struggle against?
CG:I live in the heart of hipster mecca in Williamsburg. It's completely unavoidable, but I've been here since i moved to New York seven years ago. I love where I live, I love my neighborhood, but there is this hipster thing that is a little out of hand. It can go in so many directions of being extreme where you cant apologize for it anymore because it's too stupid sometimes. But on a general mental basis when I leave my house and go out of my door and go to anything i don't have to take the train or drive to, there really is this collective intelligence I feel there. You don't have to explain anything ever. Your expectations are not usually let down and it really feels like a neighborhood, They agree to be really nice to each other and really smart about stuff and not act like an asshole in the lines to the grocery store. I stay here because there is this energy circulation and it's not going away. I feel more and more at home here. I can't say anything bad except that sometimes hipsters look really, really stupid. Other than that I like everyone surrounding me.
TNG: Finally, what are your summer tour plans?
CG: We're kind of starting to play again this week, we're playing our first show for the new record this week, and then from there we kind of are going to be playing little legs here and there over the summer. First West Coast and then we're actually going to Asia a little bit, and then we come back and do East Coast stuff in July, and then in September we'll do a more official tour. Then a more national and Canadian tour again. In the next 3-4 months we should be getting to most places that people live.TNG

"I don't want to insult anyone, but I don't think I've ever done a big studio movie that was a great movie."
Megan Mullally is no stranger to comedy, but the "Will & Grace" star feels especially strong about Toy's House, her new Sundance Film Festival movie co-starring her husband, Nick Offerman. CraveOnline's own Nash Herrington sat down with the star to talk about her new film, the difference between studio films and independent movies, and acting in single-camera sitcoms versus sitcoms in front of live studio audiences.
And make sure to check out all of Crave Online's coverage of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival here!

CHICO >> Gas prices in Chico have continued to fall, with the average price of a regular gallon dropping nearly four cents.
As of Sunday, the average price of a gallon was $3.76, according to GasBuddy.com, which checks 76 gas outlets in Chico.
The national average was $3.45, which GasBuddy said was the lowest since February.
The Chico average was 5.8 cents higher than a year ago, and 18.4 cents lower than a month ago, the business said.
Gas analyst Patrick DeHaan said, " For motorists, we're nearing the point that gasoline demand drops - after Labor Day - and also the upcoming switch back to cheaper winter gasoline will also put downward pressure on prices in mid-September. While a short term increase in gasoline prices is never out of the question, as we grow nearer to September, the likelihood of a spike decreases."

Tuesday morning's single-game ticket sale was another reminder of how expensive and difficult it can be to attend a Penn State football game. It didn't seem to matter that the program is heading into the second year of unprecedented NCAA sanctions or that the continued convenience of watching a game from home appeals to the wallets and interests of many fans.
Those hoping to secure tickets to the Nittany Lions' homecoming game against Michigan and the Senior Day clash against Nebraska were required to order the same number of non-conference tickets to either the Eastern Michigan or Kent State game. While it wasn't initially advertised that fans could only purchase those marquee games by phone (I double checked the original press release that was released last week), that was the case. The rest of the games could be purchased online with the cheapest ticket costing $80.80.
I've heard about the single-game PSU ticket sale before, and while I haven't had to worry about securing tickets since I was a sophomore and was ordering for the always-interesting student-section sale, I figured I'd see just how effective the single-game process was and then write about it.
For some background, I've dealt with plenty of online sales for sporting events and concerts before and would like to think I'm more comfortable with the process than those who are a bit older than me and are not used to the Ticketmaster process.
Well, it didn't seem to matter, since this sale gave me plenty to write about.
Here was my hypothetical order, to see how easy the ordering system is to secure four tickets to the Nebraska game. I figured most fans would want to attend this one, so I'd go through all the steps like I was ordering and then bail on the purchase at the end. Easy enough, right?
I signed on to Ticketmaster a few minutes before 10 a.m. to make sure I was ready for the start of the sale. At 10 a.m. when it began Ticketmaster said no tickets for Michigan or Nebraska were available. If you read the original press release like myself, you were unaware that tickets for those games were only available via phone. Penn State must have added that wrinkle within the past week.
So, by 10:01 a.m. I called 1-800-NITTANY as the site said, only to receive several busy signals. Twenty phone calls later, I still had the same result. It would've been easier to win a radio call-in contest than have someone answer on the other end.
I've heard from friends and readers who said eventually around 10:30 some them were prompted to leave their name and contact information so that a worker from the ticket office could contact them later in the day. As of 2 p.m. many of them still hadn't received a phone call back.
My calls to Penn State officials about why they went about ticket sales this way and why they continue to charge the same price for non-conference and conference games have yet to be returned. Why they don't go to a dynamic pricing system like many other schools is also worth asking about.
Other Big Ten schools have their own systems for purchasing tickets and none of them required fans to buy non-conference tickets in order to secure seats to marquee games.
The price of the Penn State ticket itself is another startling figure. With prices ranging from $80.80 to $215.65, no wonder there are gaping holes throughout the Beaver Stadium bleachers.
Penn State's average attendance last year was fifth in the NCAA at 96,730, but anyone who attended games knows the reported attendance numbers vs. what was in the stadium were a bit different. Plus, the average was still nearly 4,000 less than the previous season's attendance. With 107,000-plsu seats it's going to continue to be hard to fill, especially if the team dips below .500 in the coming years.
I know people pay for the experience and there's nothing like being at a game in person. But, these prices even for non-conference games are on par with NFL ticket prices for marquee regular-season contests.
For example, the cheapest ticket for a Sunday night, early December matchup at Lambeau Field between the Packers and Falcons costs $80.75. The cheapest ticket for a 49ers vs. Seahawks game is $89.60. Music fans hoping to see JAY Z and Justin Timberlake in Hershey this Sunday can buy a ticket that's cheaper than any Penn State home game.
Add in the parking price, which is $10 in advance or $40 the day of, and I now understand why some people prefer watching the game at home.
While my hypothetical purchase was disastrous, fans who did secure tickets hopefully made hotel arrangements well in advance. With the majority of hotels already booked for football season, and require those two-night minimums with already-inflated prices in place, the cost for a weekend in Happy Valley won't be a cheap trip.
Let me know if your single-game ticket sale went better than mine. As always, feel free to chime in with questions, comments and suggestions below.

If any of you know I was incredibly fortunate to receive the complete The Sopranos box set for Christmas. I'm a big fan of the series and I've decided to do a short review on the fourth and fifth season. Of course if you've never watched the Sopranos I'll keep this review spoiler free.
The Soprano's focuses on a mafia boss called Tony Soprano and his life with his two sets of families: His actual biological 'family' and his mafia 'family'. He's the father/boss of both. The cast of characters and their respective actors are all amazing, each defining the roles of their characters brilliantly. James Gadolfini, who plays Tony Soprano in particular is amazing and is able to really portray the complexities of his character.
Tony Soprano's doesn't have a very easy life. He's forced to deal with the politics of both his families, while trying to always provide for their needs as well. If he doesn't, then that means consequences on both fronts. Not only that but he also tries to deal with the very nature of himself: Why is Tony Soprano the way he is? What does he want in life?
Seasons 4 themes deal particularly with how lies, secret politics/ dealings impact our lives. We see secrets that are told to the wrong people in this world of violence and crime can have seriously damaging effects. Pressure from being unable to speak about certain parts of their lives, or even denying problems also have serious ramifications. Even little throw away jokes, that were not meant for certain ears to hear, can have a serious impact. I found myself for this season being more disgusted with Tony Soprano and his associates than ever, but they're merely living out two lives; one criminal and one civilian. It also introduces more focus on the relationship on the relation between the crime family in New Jersey and the crime family in New York, which becomes a very big issue in future seasons.
If you liked the Sopranos then there is no reason stopping you from picking up this great addition. If you've never watched it before, stop reading this review, go out and buy yourself season 1.
Season 5 however I found was superior to season 4. The theme dealing with Season five is struggle. Power struggle, personal struggle, struggle in general. Tony, his family, his criminal family and others each go through a struggle with something. Sometimes its internal sometimes its external. This is a brilliant series as it forces Tony to deal with an issue that blends his biological and criminal family together, and forces him to analyze where his very loyalty lies. Steve Buscemi who gives a brilliant performance in this season, is a great highlight.
So there you have it! My first review ever! I hope you've found it helpful!

Kelly McGillis really, REALLY doesn't want to watch 'Top Gun' again
Happy 25th anniversary to Top Gun, which was released back in 1986 back in the glorious '80s when we had no hurricanes, no endless political punditry on TV and real jobs were available after we graduated college. But at least one star from the movie has very little nice to say about Top Gun's continued role in pop culture.
Kelly McGillis seems to be on the interview trail these days, answering questions about a movie that she'd obviously prefer to forget. Here are some highlights of her chat with Movieweb.com.
Is this fun for you to reminisce about Top Gun? Where do you hold the movie in regards to your career?
Kelly McGillis: (Laughs) "I don't think about it much. It was fun. It was great. I had a great time doing it. But I don't dwell too much on what I've done. I have to deal with what I am doing today."
So, you haven't even gone back and seen the movie since 1986?
Kelly McGillis: "No. I have not. I have seen glimpses of it when my kids are watching it on television. Maybe, when I am walking through the house doing laundry, I will see some of it."
So, even with the movie coming to Blu-ray, you won't watch it?
Kelly McGillis: "No. I have no desire to sit around and watch myself. I find that kind of weird."

There is a house we all can go to……..
The day before Thanksgiving, besides preparing a feast fit for a king and queen, its time to clean. The dusting and mopping and vaccuming is under way. The house has to be immaculate for the guests to arrive. I wonder if everyone else is getting their home ready too! I decide to take a break and check out a house that's open to everyone!! House of Bingo is a great way to reward myself from the hussle bussle of the day.
Upon registration I am given £20.00 BBs. I love the lobby! It is so festive for the holiday season with Santa's hat hanging from the letter 'H'! I'm really excited because I am allowed to play the brand new slots!
Wonder if my irish luck will get me a few good spins on Lucky Clover. Minimum bet is 5 to 50 pounds! This is a 25 line slot with up to 3 bets per line. Three scatter symbols of the clove is what I need for the bonus round, giving me 15 free spins. The diamond is wild.
I start out playing 5 per spin, 3 bets per line. The luck of these irish is with me as I hit 5 gold bars that pays £46.00!! My bankroll climbs to £76.00. Two scatters pay £15.00 and have hit several of them!
As my cash begins to dwindle I hit another goody!!! 5 red dice…….lands me £60.00 and my bankrolls is now at £120 BB's!!!! I'm singing 'Oh Danny boy…the pipes the pipes are calling'!
In the background hear my timer go off…….the pumpkin pie is ready. Back to reality…..i have to go bake another pie. I say farewell to my Lucky Clover but will soon return!
