Metal 3.85 | 229 ratings From Progarchives.com, the ultimate
progressive rock music website 5 stars Now HERE's a golliath of
a metal album. An excellent purchase by all means, this
massive, epic sounding metal album is bliss to the ears, and a
milestone in the modern metal scene. Blood and Thunder opens
the doors to a dark, scary, and mythical word of sweeping riffs
that fit together like the world itself. All musicianship is
brilliant, the riffage is brilliant and the percussion is
frantic. Most important of all, the music and fantasy driven
vocals work, and it works well. Each track is exciting (even
the lighter acoustic parts of just a few songs). Mastodon is a
metal band to keep an eye on (and with Blood Mountain, they
proove that they are a metal power to be hailed by all) get

tested the waters for Wii rail shooters with ports of Ghost
Squad and House of the Dead 2 and 3. Now it's enlisted
Headstrong Games to create the all-new House of the Dead:
Overkill. Does it stink of rotten flesh or make a mother proud?
This tale is definitely not to be taken seriously. Embracing the
cheesiness of the previous games and infusing it with a
grindhouse vibe, Overkill is practically a parody of itself.
Even Agent G's enigmatic name is made fun of multiple times.
Every conceivable element goes way over the top. G's partner
Isaac Washington constantly drops the F-bomb. There's a hot
chick on a motorcycle named Varla Guns, and villain Papa Caesar
makes hardly any sense with his bad accent and off-beat
analogies. In one scene, G has to shove his hand into the gut of
a defeated monster to answer Caesar's enormous cell phone, and
the shocking final boss has no fear of sexual depravity. It's
vulgar, it's disgusting, and it's hilarious. Ov |

-3.215375 | 3.459127 | -1 | Monday, October 18, 2010 I see many women in the gym ‘toning’
their bodies with little pink weights for hundreds of reps
accumulated over an hour long workout. I just wonder why don’t
they just jump on the tread mill and spend the hour there. I
mean why delude yourself that you are weight training when you
really are doing aerobic style workouts. Just to make it clear
weight training is a weight bearing exercise that requires
anaerobic pathways of energy breakdown which happens when you
lift heavy for a few reps. Weight training shouldn’t make you go
out of breath and panting for air. This is not the mode that
builds muscle. For building muscle you need to lift heavy enough
to perform the full range of motion for 10-15 reps and no more.
If you are able to do a 16th rep, then you need to increase the
weight. A concern I hear from women (and many men) is that
they don’t want to ‘bulk-up’ by lifting heavy. To address this I
would say that women don’t have near as much testosterone as men
do, to really bulk |

out some of the best methods for video sharing across social
media once a video has been uploaded. Google+ is more tied to
YouTube than ever, so this is one social network that's great to
take advantage of. Calls to action are generally pretty
effective and beyond encouraging viewers to like, comment and
subscribe, this RealViews4U infographic also points out that
annotations are a great way to subtly raise interaction with a
video, without having to blatantly ask. |

face the truth: I'm not nearly ruthless enough to grow salad.
Reading this has given me the courage to confess my own similar
dilemma with the vegetable patch - like its author, I just can't
bring myself to do thinning out. I know you have to pull out the
weedy/surplus seedlings so the rest have space to grow. But a
combination of stinginess - I hate throwing away perfectly good
(embryonic) rocket - and soppiness makes me wimp out every time.
Surely if the spindly, yellowing ones were lavished with a few
weeks of top quality fertiliser/sunshine/twice-daily
watering/private education, they too could grow up to be
spinach! All that potential gone to waste is so sad. Even if it
was only ever destined to be lettuce. This deep feebleness has,
of course, resulted in a salad jungle: vast thickets of red
mustard, great tangles of rocket - none of which will mature
properly because they don't actually have any room. My fellow

01/2007; Source: DOAJ ABSTRACT Thirty-seven South American
species representing seven sections of Solanum subgen.
Leptostemonum were analyzed. Andromonoecious as well as
hermaphrodite species were considered. The length and width of
their fruits was measured, and the number of seeds per fruit was
counted. Medial cross sections of fresh, ripe fruits were
observed with a stereoscopic microscope and illustrated. Six
placentation patterns and three types of seeds were described. A
relationship among seed number, fruit size, fruit color and
sexual system was detected by means of statistical analysis.
These results suggest that andromonoecy affects fruit size and
placentation patterns, in order to contain a higher number of
seeds per fruit. 0 0 1 Bookmark • American Journal of Botany

CHICAGO — American music enjoys a rich tradition in diversity
despite its relatively short duration. The ethnic histories of
our citizens are reflected in the multiplicity of our musical
expressions. The ``American Music Awards`` acknowledges artists
who have achieved prominence within the popular music industry.
There is an expected degree of dignity inherent in any event of
this magnitude. The dignity of this year`s awards was grossly
violated when a very few infringed on the rights of the vast
majority with their repugnant behavior. We are in the midst of
what the federal government has labeled ``The War on Drugs.``
The music industry, the television network covering the ceremony
and the sponsors of the show should ensure that individuals who
are incapable of graciously receiving rewards within a public
forum receive them privately in an environment more aptly suited
to their obviously limited understanding of human behavior and
interaction. |

crying and sorry? Dear Dr. Phil, She doesn’t sound like
much of a partner to me. Second time? Probably more like 18th or
19th. Let me tell you something about cheaters. “Twice” is never
the full story. Unfortunately, I know a lot about this because
I’ve been on both ends. Neither is a good look. My advice to you
is simple: 1. Schedule a “couple’s therapy” session with your
lying, cheating girlfriend. 2. Secretly invite your ex (the one
who just fucked your current girlfriend) to the same therapy
session. But don’t tell her that your current girlfriend is
going to be there. Tell your ex that you have unresolved

-0.552188 | -0.511111 | -1 | The curious use of the word ‘Un-American’ I have written before
about the dangerous consequences of American exceptionalism, the
belief that the country and its people are imbued with some
special undefined quality that makes them and their cultural and
political values better than those of others. This attitude can
and does lead the US to think that it can impose its will on
other nations and peoples, by force if necessary. One of the
flipsides of the belief in American exceptionalism is the use of
the term ‘Un-American’. It is used pejoratively against those
who are perceived to have deviated from the ideal and are even
possibly traitorous. It is telling that the infamous
Congressional committee that was formed in 1938 to investigate
private citizens and government employees for disloyalty was
called the House Un-American Activities Committee. The use of
the formulation ‘un-X’ where X refers to a nationality is not by
itself unusual. In fact it is quite common. But whenever I have

1.118922 | 6.138154 | -1 | What Is Shaft Torque? Torque is the simply the amount a shaft
(shown in blue) twists when subjected to a known amount of force
(usually one foot-pound of force is applied) and the torque
value is always expressed in degrees. It is a term commonly
associated with composite or graphite shafts, but steel shafts
have a certain degree of torque too. However the amount cannot
be independently changed from the frequency (or stiffness) of
the shaft like a composite design, thus torque of steel shafts
is generally not listed by the manufacturer. A lower torque
value (i.e. 3.5° versus 4.5°) resists the shaft from twisting on
the downswing with all else equal. Is there a standard? The
answer to that is no, just like most parameters in the golf
industry. I like to say “the only standard in the golf industry
is there are no standards.” Each manufacturer has an internal
method for measuring torque that will vary from one to the next.
However, each shaft by the manufacturer will be measured using

Astronomers using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have discovered
carbon molecules, known as "buckyballs," in space for the first
time. Buckyballs are soccer-ball-shaped molecules that were
first observed in a laboratory 25 years ago. They are named for
their resemblance to architect Buckminster Fuller's geodesic
domes, which have interlocking circles on the surface of a
partial sphere. Buckyballs were thought to float around in
space, but had escaped detection until now. "We found what are
now the largest molecules known to exist in space," said

Barack Obama has ended two weeks of dithering over the Egyptian
uprising by issuing a statement expressing disappointment with
the refusal of Egypt's president, Hosni Mubarak, to stand down.
In a lengthy statement, Obama was sceptical about the pace and
commitment of the Egyptian government towards democracy and
added a rebuke, albeit mild, to Mubarak. His comments
reflected dismay elsewhere round the world. The British
government said it was looking closely at Mubarak's speech. The
White House statement came late last night after Obama was

Popular As a public intellectual for the most shadowy of

WILSON (born 1945) has written and lectured on a crazy quilt of
esoteric topics: pirates, angels, alchemists, utopians. The
central thread running through this material is spiritual
anarchy, those nomad zones in history and religion where
authority gives way to vertiginous freedoms that are at once
sacred, political, and, at least in some sublimated sense,
erotic. Blessed with enough family money to have remained
“independently poor,” Wilson has lived the bohemian life since
the 1960s, dodging both academy and the hipster limelight. He
spent a decade abroad, most of it in Tehran, where he sought out
devil-worshippers and hash-smoking Sufis, and studied Islamic
mysticism at the Iranian Academy of Philosophy, which drew

20 Athletes Who Would Be Fired If They Had Regular Jobs Frazer
Harrison/Getty Images Professional athletes are, in the most
liberal sense, employees who do a job. Beyond this very generic
description, however, it's a disingenuous exercise to try and
draw any comparisons to how the average person makes a living.
Like many of us, they get paid by someone to do something. But
the expectations between the two couldn't possibly be any more
different. This isn't to say that pro players shouldn't reap
the benefits of their unique talent and lifelong preparation, or
that they don't get stressed out, fed up or screwed over. Of
course they do. Professional sports aren't just a game; they
are businesses, and athletes have to deliver to keep their jobs.

Note that this is very basic and probably simplified to an
extreme (especially the calvin cycle as no enzymes are
mentioned.) As visible spectra comes into contact with the
light harvesting units of the chloroplast’s thylakoid membrane
(PSI, PSII,) quantum’s of energy are absorbed and electrons on
ground state are thus excited. Instead of returning to ground
state, electron transport molecules made of lipids or proteins
that are adjacent to the unit of pigment molecules attract the
electron. It is important to note that the flow of electrons is
non-cyclic; meaning they flow in one direction and do not return
to where they originated from. This is because each carrier
molecule has a greater affinity for electrons than its
neighboring molecule; meaning electrons travel down the

leading industrial countries stepped up pressure on Israel
yesterday to accept a key Palestinian demand of stationing
international monitors at flashpoints in Gaza and the West Bank.
But, crucially, the foreign ministers from the Group of Eight,
which includes the US, said such a force could only be put in
place with agreement from both Israel and the Palestinians. The
Israeli government, exercising its veto, rejected the prospect
of observers. The Israeli foreign secretary, Shimon Peres,
explaining his country's objection, said: "Terror is
clandestine, you can't observe it. So you can only observe our
reaction." Mr Peres added: "You can't observe suicide bombers
preparing for their work. You can't observe a gunman using a
house in Rafah to fire from - but you can observe houses of
terrorists being demolished [by the Israeli army] in Rafah."
But behind the scenes, the Israeli position is softening
slightly. A government source said such a force wa |

5.141718 | 1.0624 | 13 | Jazz Institute of Chicago Why can't they get it right? Why
can't they get it right? By Don Rose The music world was
saddened by the recent death of composer-arranger Ralph Burns,
whose remarkable career led him from Woody Herman's two great
Herds of the mid-'40s and early '50s, all the way to major
successes in Hollywood and on Broadway, where he won a Tony
Award for "Fosse." But before he left us, he at least had the
pleasure of seeing his great jazz suite, "Summer Sequence,"
reissued. The work had long been out of print and was also the
subject of an on-going discographical error. He clarified the
matter in the liner notes to the reissue, but the confusion
still found its way into otherwise fine obituaries in major
publications. The error, one must note, was first made by
Columbia Records, which recorded the original suite and reissued
it in late 2001 as part of a wonderful and overdue Herman
compilation. Ironically, the notes to the double-CD compilation,

least 100 yards away from a woman who rents a property he is
trying to sell after confrontations between the mayor and the
tenant last week drew police to her home. The temporary
protection order, requested by 65-year-old Karol Hopper, was
signed by Boulder County Judge Noel Blum on Monday and requires
that Wilson appear in court on March 18 to argue why the order
shouldn't be made permanent. Blum's order also forbids Wilson
from coming within 100 yards of Hopper's home, which is in the
1400 block of North 111th Street, near the border of Lafayette
and Erie. In a related development, the Erie Board of Trustees
has called for a special meeting Friday at 5 p.m. to discuss
whether to appoint an independent party to look into whether the
mayor's interest in the parcel on North 111th Street constitutes
an ethics violation. Wilson lists himself as an agent,
principal and co-listing broker for the property's owner --

identity. A unit of $R$ is an element $u \in R$ which divides
1. Does this mean every element in $\mathbb R$ (real numbers)
is a unit since every element divides 1? e.g.: $3$ is a unit
since $\frac{1}{3} \in \mathbb R$ Also, two elements $a,b$ are
called associates if there is a unit $u$ such that $a = bu$.
Doesn't this also mean every element in $\mathbb R$ is
associated with every other element? share|improve this
question Almost yes. In any field, all elements but 0 are units
and therefore associated with each other. – martini Nov 7 '12

Being associate is an equivalence relation. In any field, there
are exactly two equivalence classes for this relation: the class
of 0 and the class of 1. The class of 0 contains just 0; the
class of 1 contains everything else. So, in a field, every two
nonzero elements are associates. share|improve this answer add

Jolly, Managing Director, Draper Fisher Jurvetson The
combination of aging population, deteriorating lifestyle and the
desire to live longer is leading to a rise in health and
wellness startups. It turns out that one of the most
interesting and devastating exports from the US during the past
few of decades has been the fast food industry. I still remember
when the first Taco Bell opened in Bangalore and the hoopla
around the event was closer to a five star hotel opening or a
red carpet premier of a Bollywood blockbuster than that of a
chain restaurant. The fact that McDonalds and KFC are considered
cool spots for casual gatherings, especially for young people
from middle class families, is leading to a potential explosion
of Delhi Belly (a must see movie). Indians are also genetically

The coalition government has already back-tracked on some

pensions and benefits that will affect your pocket. We list the
main details so far: National insurance What it means: The
increase in national insurance paid by employees from April 2011
will, after all, go ahead. But the increase paid by employers –
Cameron's much-quoted "tax on jobs" – will be axed. The hike in
NI for workers will be partly offset by higher personal
allowances, gradually rising to £10,000 and taking many low-paid
workers out of the tax net altogether. Capital gains tax What

Bachelor' Week 9 Recap: The Top Five HighlightsThis week on "
The Bachelor," Ben and his three remaining ladies flew to their
final exotic locale this season: spectacular Switzerland. The
women scored breathtaking one-on-one dates with Ben, and each
was given the option to extend her alone time with him by
accepting the offer of an overnight stay -- a loaded decision in
any context, and one that can make or break chances on "The
Bachelor." The women went into the week full of confidence, but
Ben was feeling the strain of the episode's impending
elimination. Even the stunning Alpine scenery wasn't enough to
distract him from his concerns over Courtney's reputed catty
behavior, and his growing and competing affections for each of
the women. Here are the week's top five highlights: 5. Nicki
