Myles Kennedy
Myles Richard Kennedy is an American musician, singer and songwriter best known as the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the rock band Alter Bridge, and as the lead vocalist in Slash's current band: Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators.
Myles Kennedy is just one of the best rock singers of all time, and here's why: The quality of his live vocal performances, his frontmanship abilities and his beautiful lyric-writing style match those of great legends like Mercury or Plant; not to mention he can sing any of the stuff from pretty much every big rock band of the past, as he has shown many time in Alter Bridge first, covering Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Ozzy's stuff, and then with Slash, singing again Zepp (who also gave him a shot rehearsing with him for a never done Plant-less tour), many Guns n' Roses' stuff, not to mention a Lenny Kravitz cover, and songs from Velvet Revolver and various Slash's solo works. No matter how many shows he plays in one week, he gets the job done; he has a great technical knowledge, and knows how to properly use his agile tenor voice both in studio recordings and live stages.
You say that's not enough?
Yeah, well, he's also a great guitar player and songwriter. Check out ...more
There's not much to say, I started listening to his current band Alter Bridge quite a few years ago now and since then he has blown me away time after time. Now I listen to many of his older bands, including The Mayfield Four, Citizen Swing etc. Not to mention his own version of Hallelujah... Just AWESOME! I can't tell you how excited I am for his solo album that should hit the stores this year! Love the fact that he's getting more recognition, as he deserves, now that he's singing with Slash as well...
I gotta admit that there are some very capable and incredible singers on this list (while some are less fitting) but this guy has just got that extra spark.. The emotion he pours into every song and live performance is mind-blowing, not to mention that he is an amazing songwriter. If you haven't heard of Mr. Myles Kennedy before, give him a listen, you won't be disappointed!
Yeah, Freddie Mercury is a legend (and I love him), Michael Jackson is an icon (and I like him too). But Myles Kennedy is AMAZING. His voice gives me shivers and I'm addicted to it (and it never happened before! ). Just try to listen to Alter Bridge songs like Shed My Skin, Blackbird, Words Darker Than Their Wings. He sings with his heart and soul, really. Not convinced yet? Then go find out his work with The Mayfield Four (Summer Girl, 31/12, White Flag, just to name a few... ). Do you STILL have doubt?! Go to YouTube and listen to his acoustic versions of Hallelujah and Travelling Riverside Blues. He DESERVES to be AT LEAST in the top 10. He is an amazing, kind, humble human being too. Seeing him under names like Bill Kaulitz and Ville Valo is unbelievable... And who are the guys at the 2th and 3th place?! I checked them on YouTube and I was like "what..?! "
Some of the people on this list are being chosen for success or fame or for the quality of the songs rather than the quality of their voice. While I am a huge fan of Myles' humble attitude towards his success and the depth of meaning in his lyrics, I would also vote for him based on quality of his voice alone. His range is incredible, and he can hold a note for so long that most people have to stop to take two breaths. The emotion in his tone conveys the meaning of the lyrics so well, especially Blackbird which has a profound and painful inspiration. The way he sings it, every waver and quiver in his voice, makes it more like a storytelling experience than a song. You should never listen to Myles Kennedy as background noise, because most of his songs have a real message behind them, and his voice is the perfect instrument to put these issues across to an audience.
Myles Kennedy has the greatest voice range not only for Rock, but in almost every music genre. Myles has hit levels so high and crisp live in concert better than anyone it is ridiculous that he was voted 84. This man along with Alter Bridge has changed the rock world this past 10 years and Myles continues to defy Rock in it's entirety. I would put my college education betting that Myles Kennedy has the best vocal range out of anyone in today's music. No one has ever belted kit so clear and smooth like he has in concert. Not a single bit of raspiness comes off of his voice in concert. This man deserves to be #1 on this list. AB Nation baby! Blood type AB! Keep rocking strong gentleman.
Myles Kennedy is matched vocally by very few. He is by far the most talented contemporary singer on the world stage right now. Possessor of a 4 octave range and incredible breath control, he is simply outstanding. His pure emotion that he can bring to any song can take a listener's breath away, and he is as good live as in the studio. Slash, who took him on tour as his lead vocalist and is currently recording an album with him, said the reason he chose him to do so is because his talents are so varied that he was the only person he could think of that would be able to sing all the different types of song that Slash had written over the years - he has to go out and sing Axl Rose songs, Scott Weiland songs, an M. Shadows song and even one by Fergie! As an overall musician he cannot be doubted, as he is as good a guitarist and writer as anyone in the world. He is simply untouchable.
An incredibly versatile musician and artist- the total package; just ask Slash, Van Halen and members of Led Zeppelin He plays guitar brilliantly, can sing hard/soft Rock and acoustic ballads with ease. He is a self-made success- went from guitar instructor to huge rock Front Man in a matter of 5 years(while in his mid-30s). His Lyrics are earnest and passion-driven, with intense purpose and worth. He is fantastic in concert His singing motto is, "Sing like your life depends on it, "... He is great with fans and with interviewers... And is not the cliche mold of a Front Man. He is a classy success, and is grateful for every second he has to perform. I hope he's able to perform and write music for decades to come.
Looking at this list is kinda depressing.
I don't know how many of these folks are actually basing their votes on the actually singing ability of the person they vote for or if they just pick their favorite entertainer/songwriter/singer or whatever.
It's ridiculous and utterly sad how many great singers are so far down on this list and Myles would most likely take the No. 1 spot if I were to create my own top10 list out of all these people here.
Just listen to that live version of "Watch over you" in Amsterdam. Seriously.
He's unbelievable! The range of his voice, the way he's singing, his variety, the songs full of power and emotion. I love each AB song, and you shouldn't miss to check out the Mayfield Four ones as well. His work with Slash - I can't think of any other singer who's able to sing Guns N' Roses-songs the way he does. Not even close - it's sending shivers down my spine every time I listen to them. You don't just hear Myles sing, you can FEEL his voice. There are no words to describe his live performance - it's miraculous, to say the least. He's having you spellbound. Can't wait for his solo album, AB's Wembley DVD and for another opportunity to see him or them live. Ok, you got me - I'm addicted And my blood type actually is and will forever be AB (not kidding).
4 1/2 octave range that encompasses every note of his band's predecessor Scott Stapp's low, throaty growl while still avoiding being a late 90's vocal caricature and delivering a consistant, soulful, inspiring performance that is relatable to the average listener's ear. This followed by the effortless ability to raise the vocals to an unprecedented male range that rivals many females, while still preserving the interest and emotion of the song. Few singers can reach as low OR high as MK does, regardless of the material he is singing. Even fewer can still have such a range without sounding thin, operatic or weak. The power Myles displays in his top-end notes is breathtaking and reminds us what it used to take to become a famous musician... Other-worldly talent, an understanding of true musicianship and most importantly, the willingness to push one's limits daily in the name of creating something beautiful.
Here is a man whose live performance quality is so great that his band's shows are frequently visited by musical dignitaries such as John Paul Jones, Eddie Van Halen and Robert Plant. He's been joined on stage by the great Paul Reed Smith himself, and Slash, whom Kennedy also tours with in his solo project as lead vocalist, and will be providing lead vocals on the entire second album. He's jammed with members of Led Zeppelin, been approached to sing for Velvet Revolver, and has been holding off on his own solo material due to the sheer success of the other projects he's involved in. He's got a history of singing blues, jazz, fusion, funk, metal, rock and acoustic versions of many others.
Such versatility is testament to the man's talent, and more than sufficient reason for him to be voted up! A lot!
His vocal range truly came full circle on ABI. It is impossible to deny he is the best vocalist in rock today. Look at how many different musicians have wanted him to track vocals for them.
One of the most impressive things that he brings to the table is an amazing ability belt, where most scream. His technique is amazing for a non classically trained singer.
In terms of pure vocal ability he is in the top 5 in Rock history, because this is a list of who can sing the best, not who has the coolest scream, or who has the weirdest sounding voice.
In term of vocal ability alone, he stands at the top with Steve Perry and Freddie Mercury.
Myles is number 1 on this list - be it with Mayfield Four, Slash or Alter Bridge. Period. His vocal work especially on ABI and Blackbird surpasses anyone currently on the music scene. He recreates live what he has done on his records To add to that he is an incredibly talented guitar player - the soulful bluesy sort that can give shredders like Slash and Mark Tremonti nightmares.
To be considered for the Led Zeppelin Reunion at one point in time is proof enough of his brilliance.
I would like to share to you all.. Watch the Movie "Rockstar" With Mark Wahlberg.. Amazing "True" movie about a fan that over powers the vocal range of his favourite bands lead singer And takes over.. At the end of that movie..
Myles Kennedy over powers the vocal range of (Mark Wahlberg's) vocal range and takes over yet again.. Will give you butterflies when you see you it (Honest)
Even though Myles is ranked 27.. If you check out The live acoustic performances from him.. Then you will know..
Myles kennedy was sent from the heavens above to repent us from our sins with his music.. Much love Myles.. Hope to see you live someday
Myles has to have the greatest voice of our generation! He is incredible live and also an excellent guitar player. His passion for what he does is reflected in how hard he works, if you watch some of alter bridges webisodes on you tube they are always talking about how hard he works and never takes days off. I highly recommend a listen to slash and myles doing an acoustic cover of sweet child o' mine of slash's Australian deluxe album, if you can't get the song watch it on you tube!
He is the best live rock band singer of all time. There is no comparison and this list and record sales compared do Britney Spears (seriously?) does not do him justice. He writes all of his own songs and there must be something said to headlining the Slash tour. Anything by Alter Bridge would be able to prove how far he has come in vocal range and I'd reccommend Find The Real, All Hope Is Gone, or Words Darker Than their Wings.
Myles is simply amazing he delivers perfect pitch in every performance that you ever hear from him. From his old jazz stuff to his songs with slash and through to Alter Bridge he shows complete command over stage and his voice, not many men or even women can hit notes like him and he uses them with assassin like precision! You simply don't hear anyone like him anymore and you can't fault any of his songs in the slightest. This is a man who can bring entire arenas to a hush as they take in the amazing voice that he delivers. He is simply in my opinion one of the greatest rock singers of ALL time!
There is only one singer, who is above Myles, that could be compared with him - Freddie Mercury. The only one I agree with. But you must be kidding placing Jared Leto, Rhydian and all others above Myles. Myles vocal abilities are more than amazing, more than impressive. Myles always sings with heart and passion. He gives everything he's got to every single song. When you listen to Kennedy, you don't even feel how strongly he and his vocal performance effects you. There aren't enough words in any language to describe how good he is. I hate when a bunch of untalented "singers" are above such a great vocalist as Myles.
Myles voice brings out emotions no one ever dreamt of singing. Alter bridge and myles, together with mark T. Scott P. An bryan M. Sing and create works of art, not songs. Unlike the likes of Bieber or rihanna or spears, their songs set out to reach a meaning dark and deep within all of us. The albums weren't created primarily for profit (though denying profitability would be an irony) but intended to start a revolution. Move away from crappy songs about clubbing or sex or money or alcohol or sum cussing lists peppered with Auto-tune. AB and Myles let you listen to meaningful and well thought out music, in it's raw artistic form.
No one can deny what a great voice Myles has. You don't have to be an Alter Bridge fan, you don't even have to like his style. But he has an amazing vocal range. He can do so much with his voice and it is so pure and.. Well heavenly. He always shows lots of energy on stage and then his vocals are sometimes beyond perfect. I even think his live performances are better than the ones on CD, yet different every time. Even if you decide not to vote for this amazing singer, he is worth checking out.
Really Myles most be in the Top 10. because his voice it's so fantastic and unique. More than Axl Rose, more than every rock n' roll singer now a days. Every song that he sing, make it a master piece, and with Alter Bridge, it's a great composer and guitarist. He is the master of master of rock today: Mr. Myles Kennedy
Alter Bridge Blood Type runnin' thru my veins n_n
How many octaves is it now 4-5... Amazing singer from low baritone richness to balls out passagio smashing belts... Its ridiculous that some of these people are above him with rangeless richless studio voices.. This. Guy tours with slash and sings balls out. Guns N' Roses day in day out.. Not even axl could keep up.. The only reason I think he's not at least top ten is because people don't know myles kennedy, they know him as the guy who sings with slash... Myles you need to start making some headlines or race a batmobile or something..
If Rock wasn't as low in popularity as it is now, Alter Bridge would easily have been a Guns n Roses of this generation. The vocal range is amazing, his live performance is amazing, and he has done nothing but rise in an area of music that's dying. When a guy like Slash comes out and tries to recruit you for Velvet Revolver THAN does a collaboration album (to be released this year), there is no denying talent. I hope Alter Bridge at least gets one platinum record in sales. The fan base, and the rest of the Rock world deserve it.
Myles has an extremely impressive voice. I only just became a fan, but I truly could not believe his power. He has my complete attention with every song; his careers in both The Mayfield Four and Alter Bridge are outstanding. Blackbird and Isolation are masterpieces, with a very strong musical and vocal presence from Myles Kennedy and more importantly, his live performances are ecstatic and energetic. Its very difficult to think of someone above him on this list. Kennedy has a bright musical future and I look forward to hearing it.
This guy is the future of rock.. There's no one like him out there nowadays, he has an extraordinary range, a vocal tone never heard before and he's one of the few that can express himself as good live as in studio.. He's a great frontman, plus he's an outstanding guitar player.. How not to vote him? You just have to.

Helios, RoboSimian, Buddy and Warner, whose Twitter bio describes them as "tall, dark and humanoid," are among 17 robots that have come to Homestead-Miami Speedway to attempt tasks that include climbing an industrial ladder and driving a vehicle through an obstacle course.
While the metal machines, and the wood sets that have been built along pit road, all look like they belong in a science fiction movie, this is not a Hollywood production. It's the Robotics Challenge Trials, brought to you by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
The international competition -- for the creation of robots that can respond to natural and man-made disasters-- runs Friday and Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. It's open to the public and free.
"We hope we get a lot of spectators," said Gill Pratt, DARPA's program manager of the robotics competition, which he helped create following the 2011 Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster in Japan.
After the earthquake-created tsunami struck the Japanese plant, the backup power systems that are needed to cool the reactors failed. Humans entered the buildings to try to vent the gas that was accumulating inside the reactors, but the high levels of radiation forced them to turn back.
DARPA sent robots that were designed to disarm improvised explosive devices in Iraq and Japan to try to help, Pratt said. But by the time they arrived and the nuclear plant personnel could be taught how to use them, it was too late to prevent the explosions, meltdown and radioactive releases.
And, even if the robots had arrived more timely, they were not technologically advanced enough to perform many of the tasks needed in the chaotic environment.
"It spawned the idea that if robotics are almost good enough to handle these emergencies in real time, can we push the state of the art from inside the lab, where robots are used until now, to out in the field?" Pratt said.
To try to fast track these type of disaster-response robots from concept to reality, the federal government is providing tens of millions of dollars in funding to the best and brightest minds in the field.
"It's crazy, there are two teams here from NASA," said Doug Stephen, whose working with the only Florida-based team, IHMC Robotics of Pensacola. "There are some of the biggest universities in robotics: MIT and Carnegie Mellon. It's really huge and really good. But I think you'll see us on the leader board."
Each robot will attempt eight tasks, all critical disaster-response skills: drive and exit utility vehicle, walk across rough terrain, remove debris from doorway, open series of doors, climb industrial ladder, cut through wall using tool, carry and connect fire hose and locate and close leaking valves. Teams get 30 minutes for each task.
Teams can earn up to four points for each task. Pratt said he wouldn't be surprised if all teams scored less than half of the possible 32 points.
"We're just at the beginning of this," Pratt said. "The analysis I like to make is think of a 1-year-old, and I happen to have a 1-year-old. You can't ask a 1-year-old to go mow your lawn, but they can kind of walk a little bit. They also fall down a lot. They can kind of pick up things. But they drop a lot."
It's not like in the movies, where robots make leaping tall buildings look easy. It's also not like in factories, where robots can work extremely quickly with efficient precision.
Engineers and computer software gurus at this competition say getting a robot to move on its own and to simply open a door with a knob or turn a valve is extremely challenging.
"Most robots in a factory today are bolted to the floor, literally," said Seth Teller, one of the leaders of MIT's team. "This thing is built to move its body to where the work has to be done."
Factory robots work in a perfectly structured environment created by engineers. They are not operating in disaster zones.
MIT's entry, called Helios, demonstrated how deliberate a robot has to be in the real world. On Wednesday, it practiced walking up and down uneven cinderblocks. Each step was slow, as the robot adjusted to keep its balance.
The movements were being controlled by two operators sitting in front of computers about 20 yards away in one of the garages where NASCAR teams usually set up at the speedway. They could not see the 6-foot Helios, but could see what the humanoid saw through cameras and a lidar sensor that measures distance by illuminating a target with a laser and analyzing the reflected light.
"The operators will make decisions about where to go next and convey those decisions back to the robot in the form of commands," Teller said. "The robot will then execute those commands using its own sensors."
Those sensors include interior ones that can determine angles of joints as well as inertia sensors in its pelvis that can let it know how its body is oriented in space.
"Most factory robots don't have much perception and blindly repeat the same action over and over again," Teller said.
Because these robots are in their infancy, Pratt said the teams are allowed to use safety rope belays, like those used by mountain climbers, to prevent the multi-milllion dollar robots from falling and getting damaged. But they cannot be used to support the robots.
For the trials, teams also are using umbilical chords for communication and power. To make the tasks realistic, Pratt said communications between the operator and robot will be degraded every other minute.
Now teams are allowed only as much computing power as they can get with 1000 watts of power, about the amount needed to operate a hair dryer. "The amount of computing power is a tiny fraction of 1 percent of the computing power of the human brain," Pratt said.
The competition, which was announced in April 2012, began with more than 130 teams from eight countries. They included private businesses large and small, universities and government agencies. Teams could enter with an entire robot, or just the software.
After critical design reviews for the entire robot category, and a simulation competition for the software companies in June, the field was narrowed to 14 teams that would receive continued government funding for these trials. Four other teams are competing with private funding.
Six teams have received $3 million so far to build an entire robot, including the California-based NASA Jet Propulsion Lab. It's entry is Robosimian, which has four legs like an ape and does not use energy to maintain balance since it almost always has three legs on the ground like a tripod.
While Helios is noise-piercing loud, RoboSimian is extremely quiet, until it is commanded to do a task. "All of a sudden it wakes up and brings the rest of its systems up," said Brett Kennedy, a principal investigator with the team. "It's a little errie to see a statue come to life."
Another seven teams that performed the best in the software simulation are also competing with the hardware of Atlas robots, built by Boston Dynamics and funded by DARPA. In addition to use of the robot, those software-only teams have received up to $1.125 million.
At the end of the trials, eight of the 13 teams that already are receiving government funding will receive $1 million more to use for the finals in December of 2014. But all teams can compete in those finals and be eligible for the grand prize: $2 million.

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
My mom was a stripper most of my life. And no, I don't mean she stripped paint off walls. She was the kind of stripper who took her clothes off for money, swung around a pole, and had tassels hanging from her knockers.
Growing up as a stripper's daughter was not always easy. When my mom chose her stage name she chose my middle name, which is Savannah. To make matters worse, my aunt was a stripper as well, and she used my first name as her stage name. So every night, Starla and Savannah drove to work together and gave lap dances in my name.
My parents divorced when I was only 2 years old. My dad was in the Air Force and was stationed in Turkey when my mom decided to leave him there. She grew tired of living in a house in the middle of a sheep farm and having scorpions climb up her toilet. That life was not for her, she decided, so she took me and moved back to Alabama where she started her "dancing" career.
When I was about 8 years old, it was court-ordered for me to go visit my dad for the summer months where he had ended up stationed in California. My mom did not like the idea of me being so far away, so she and my step-father delivered me to California themselves and stayed in a nearby hotel the whole summer.
I often wondered how they could afford to stay in a hotel, eat out every night, and not work. I asked my mother once where they were working while I visited my dad and she told me she was hired as a model to pose in a clothing catalog. I never saw the catalog but was shown a headshot. I was very happy for her to be doing something besides stripping.
At the age of 11 and back in Alabama, my friend Christi came over to my house one day. I did not have many friends that were allowed to come over; most of my friends' parents, for some reason, were not comfortable with my mom being a stripper and allowing their child to be in her house. I guess they assumed she brought her work home with her. But Christi was a neighbor for a long time, and she was always visiting. This one particular evening my friend was looking for a shirt to borrow in my mother's closet and found a magazine instead.
"Whoa, your parents have a Hustler magazine in here," she said.
Despite my mother's occupation, I was a pretty conservative child. I never dressed immodestly or looked at any obscene pictures or movies. I was surprised at Christi's discovery and completely embarrassed that my parents had this magazine in their closet. I could feel my face turning red, and I pleaded with my friend to just put the magazine back in the closet.
But she started flipping through it, of course.
Christi had three brothers at home, so I'm sure this wasn't her first time looking at a pornographic magazine. She turned page after page with no signs of embarrassment and kept trying to show me photos. I refused to look at them. I was only 11! I thought Seventeen magazine was a little racy at the time, so I knew this magazine was definitely not for me.
As she continued to flip through the pages, I did not know I could get more embarrassed, but then I heard her say, "Oh my gosh! Your mom is in here!"
At first I didn't believe her. I thought it was just a ploy to get me to look at the magazine. She persisted, and I finally looked.
There she was, all spread-eagle by a pool. And it wasn't just one picture — it was several pages of pictures. I was horrified!
You would think that my friend simply finding a Hustler magazine in my parents' room would be the height of my embarrassment for the day, but imagine the look on my face when I found out my mother was in that magazine in some very risqué positions.
I immediately looked for and found my mother — I needed her explain what I'd just seen.
She explained to me matter-of-factly that she had modeled for Hustler while we were in California — not for a clothing catalog, as she had said when I asked her how she was making money that summer three years earlier. She then excitedly told me how she got to meet Larry Flynt.
I guess it could have been worse. At least she went by the name Tiffany in the magazine, and not Savannah or Starla.

Despite their mourning, leaders of Chicago's Polish community said they will carry on with plans for a May 1 parade that the Polish president was to have attended before the plane crash that killed him and 95 others Saturday.
President Lech Kaczynski was expected to attend the Polish Constitution Day Parade as part of a two-day visit, during which he also was to have met with area officials and to have spoken at a luncheon. During his last visit two years ago, Kaczynski promised to return and meet with the Polish-American community, the largest outside of Poland.
The local activists said they are unsure at this point how they will alter the parade plans while paying respects to the crash victims in an appropriate way.

"Spending my summer in Washington, D.C. interning in Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky's office was undoubtedly the best summer experience I've ever had. The Washington D.C. program provided me with the unique opportunity to network with distinguished UW alumni that offered great advice to students on how to have a successful career in Washington, D.C. I strongly recommend this program to anyone that is passionate about politics and wants to learn about how Washington works." Ayobami O. (intern with Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky)"Participating in UW's D.C. Program was one of the smartest choices I could have made as an undergraduate. During the program, I worked with peers and alumni to strengthen skills such as communication, effective writing, professionalism, and dedication – skills essential to finding success after graduation. Not only did this program facilitate invaluable opportunities for getting a taste of life in D.C., it was also a great way to meet people with similar interests. I know that I have built lifelong relationships through this program and I would strongly encourage anyone interested in politics or D.C. to get involved. The Political Science Department at UW, its supporters, and Dave Nelson (former D.C. coordinator) are amazing resources for young adults who are interested in expanding on the educational experiences found in the classroom." Diana M. (intern in the office of Congressman Ron Kind)"Spending my summer in Washington, D.C. was a fantastic experience that allowed me to have an internship where I interacted with Senators on a daily basis, was able to speak with UW alumni and see how far they have come in their careers, and build lifelong relationships; both in friendships and career networking. I'd recommend this program to anyone who is passionate about politics and is interested in learning more about how Washington works."Kimberly U. (intern in the Senate Republican Conference)"By going to D.C. with the UW program I was able to experience the independence and challenge of finding my own internship and working in an office unique to my interests while having a support network of other Madison students and educators. The alumni connections and mentorship program made D.C. a much friendlier place and produced relationships that have and will continue to significantly shape my career goals."Elizabeth T. (intern at the Brazilian Embassy)"The program was a great addition to my internship in Senator Kohl's Office because it gave me a well-rounded view of politics. At work I saw the legislative side of government, but in class, I saw various aspects of government including lobbying, foreign affairs, law, and the media. The program is also great, because D.C. is such a big city, and having at least 12 other people you know going into it, makes the experience more fun and less scary. As part of the program I was also matched with a mentor who took me to political events and helped me throughout my time in Washington."Dawn S. (intern in the office of Senator Herb Kohl)

So, Trump says the judge in his Trump University class action lawsuit is biased against him because he's Hispanic and the whole world loses their stuff over it. Turns out that, at a minimum, it's not outside the realm of possibility. If a judge is presiding over a case of a man who opposes illegal immigration, and that same judge associates professionally with people who openly support that you would be fool to think there's no chance of bias there.
Especially when it's liberal judges (as Curiel, an Obama appointee, very likely is) we're dealing with.
This is why I always try reserve judgement in situations like this before posting anything, because there's always another shoe to drop.
Emphasis in bold is mine:
Curiel is a member of the California La Raza Lawyer's Association (its San Diego chapter, to which Curiel belongs, lists the pro-illegal group the National Council of La Raza, as a community member) — and it has also been revealed that one of the founders of the La Raza Lawyer's Association called for California to be turned into a "Hispanic State" and that whites should "go back to Europe."
Breitbart parsed portions of a 2010 Snopes report on La Raza Lawyer's Association's founder, Mario Obledo:
The lawyers' association to which Judge Gonzalo Curiel belongs was co-founded by a man who publicly bragged about Hispanics taking over California and all of the state's governmental institutions–and insisted that whites should go back to Europe.
The Snopes report from 2010 states:
Mario Obledo was a co-founder of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) and the La Raza Lawyers of California bar association, and he formerly served as California's Secretary of Health and Welfare. We don't know exactly when and where he first made his controversial statement about California's becoming a "Hispanic state," but he has confirmed he said it at least twice: during an appearance on Ray Briem's talk radio show in May or June of 1998, and again on Tom Leykis' talk radio show:
Obledo: "We're going to take over all the political institutions of California. In five years the Hispanics are going to be the majority population of this state."
Caller: "You also made the statement that California is going to become a Hispanic state, and if anyone doesn't like it, they should leave. Did you say that?"
Obledo: "I did. They ought to go back to Europe."
The statements were also reported by the New York Times in their 2010 obituary for Obledo.
Maybe it doesn't have merit, maybe this is guilt by association. We don't know know but we know this…if Trump was the Democrat's nominee for president we would've known about this judge's history and bias, like, yesterday.
Also, the MSM would've reported it whether it existed or not.

III. Election Day 2017
Michigan: Wayne County Judge Robert Colombo has thrown out a lawsuit against Detroit Clerk Janice Winfrey which claimed that Winfrey's office used copies of absentee vote envelopes, rather than originals, to verify voter information for about 1,200 absentee votes dropped off at the clerks' office on Election Day. Colombo said there was "no evidence" that the office mishandled the ballots or violated state law.
Also in Detroit, candidate for clerk Garlin Gilchrist, II has requested a recount of votes in some precincts. Gilchrist is asking for a recount of all 100 absentee voting boards — or precincts — in the city. He is also looking into possibly requesting a recount of some select precincts where he said he had heard about issues.
Pennsylvania: Officials in York County have completed a review of ballots with potential overvotes and found that there were about 2,900 overvotes.
"Based on the audit and based on the certification of that audit, there is no indication that any overvote would've affected the outcome of this election," county solicitor Glenn Smith told The York Dispatch.
However, The Dispatch and several other media outlets reported that numbers released by elections officials indicate that the West York Borough Council race could have been impacted by the overvotes.
Virginia: Judge Claude M. Hilton declined to force Stafford County to count 55 late-arriving absentee ballots in a close House of Delegates race. "These ballots were late," he said according to The Washington Post. Everyone, Hilton added, wonders sometimes "what's wrong with the mail." But he saw no evidence of "improprieties" here.
Also in Virginia, the State Board of Elections delayed the certification of a close House of Delegates race after it was discovered that 83 voters in Fredericksburg were assigned to the wrong district. The difference in the race is 82 votes. On November 27, the State Board of Elections ultimately certified the races. A candidate in Newport News has filed for a recount in a race decided by 13 votes.
Ties: Much to the surprise of the public, but not to anyone who follows elections, every year there are elections that end in a tie. However, this year, we've noticed more tied elections than we have in the past. Whether or not that's a product of better media coverage (maybe) or low turnout (probably), we don't know, but it is an interesting look into how localities settle these ties from coin flips to drawing lots to allowing the affected body decide, fortunately there are no draconian process like pistols at high noon.

Durga Puja is a Hindu celebration of the Mother Goddess and the victory of the revered warrior Goddess Durga over the evil buffalo demon Mahishasura. The festival honors the powerful female force (shakti) in the Universe.
When Is Durga Puja?
The dates of the festival are determined according to the lunar calendar. Durga Puja is celebrated during the last five days of Navaratri and Dussehra. In 2018, Durga Puja takes place from October 15 to October 18, followed by the grand immersion of Durga idols on October 19.
Where Is It Celebrated?
Durga Puja is celebrated in West Bengal, particularly in the city of Kolkata. It's the biggest and most important occasion of the year there. Bengali communities in other locations across India celebrate Durga Puja as well. Substantial Durga Puja festivities take place in both Mumbai and Delhi.
In Delhi, head to Chittaranjan Park (Delhi's mini Kolkata), Minto Road, and also the city's oldest traditional Durga Puja on Alipur Road at Kashmere Gate. At Chittaranjan Park, the must-see pandals are Kali Bari (Kali Mandir), B Block, and the one near Market 2.
In Mumbai, the Bengal Club holds a grand traditional Durga Puja at Shivaji Park in Dadar, which has been taking place there since the mid-1950s. A glamorous and hip Durga Puja happens at Lokhandwala Garden in Andheri West. Many celebrity guests attend. For an all-out Bollywood extravaganza, don't miss the North Bombay Durga Puja. In addition, the Ramakrishna Mission in Khar holds an interesting Kumari Puja, where a young girl is dressed up and worshiped as Goddess Durga, on Asthami.
Durga Puja is popular in Assam and Tripura (in North East India), and Odisha as well.
How Is It Celebrated?
Durga Puja is celebrated in a similar manner to the Ganesh Chaturthi festival. The start of the festival sees huge, elaborately crafted statues of Goddess Durga installed in homes and beautifully decorated podiums all over the city. At the end of the festival, the statues are paraded through the streets, accompanied by music and dancing, and then immersed in the water.
What Rituals Are Performed During Durga Puja?
Around one week before the festival starts, on the occasion of Mahalaya, the Goddess is invited to come to the earth. The eyes are drawn on the idols of the Goddess on this day, in an auspicious ritual called Chokkhu Daan. In 2018, this will take place on October 8.
After the idols of Goddess Durga have been installed, a ritual is performed to invoke her holy presence into them on Saptami. This ritual is called Pran Pratisthan. It involves a small banana plant called a Kola Bou (banana bride), which is bathed in a nearby river, dressed in a sari, and used to transport the Goddess's energy. In 2018, this will take place on October 16.
Prayers are offered to the Goddess every day during the festival, and she is worshiped in her various forms. On Ashtami, Goddess Durga is worshiped in the form of a virgin girl in a ritual called the Kumari Puja. The word Kumari is derived from Sanskrit Kaumarya, meaning "virgin." The girls are worshiped as manifestations of the divine female energy, with the aim of evolving the purity and divinity of women in society. The divinity of Goddess Durga is believed to descend into the girl after the puja.
In 2018, the Kumari Puja will take place on October 17.
Worship is concluded on Navami with a maha aarti (great fire ceremony), which marks the end of the important rituals and prayers. In 2018, this will take place on October 18.
On the last day, Durga returns to her husband's abode and the statutes are taken for immersion. Married women offer red vermillion powder to the Goddess and smear themselves with it (this powder denotes the status of marriage, and hence fertility and bearing of children).
Belur Math in Kolkata holds an extensive program of rituals for Durga Puja, including a Kumari Puja. The ritual of Kumari Puja was started by Swami Vivekananda at Belur Math in 1901 to ensure that women were respected.
What to Expect During Durga Puja
The Durga Puja festival is an extremely social and theatrical event. Drama, dance, and cultural performances are widely held. Food is a huge part of the festival, and street stalls blossom all over Kolkata. In the evenings, the streets of Kolkata fill with people, who come to admire the statues of Goddess Durga, eat, and celebrate.

The baby was born aboard a packed train headed from New Jersey into Manhattan.
His mom thought she was experiencing false labor pain. Once on the train, the New Jersey woman and her husband realized the pains were contractions and that their son had already started to come out.
"When the contractions happened, I was told that you cannot talk or you cannot walk. But I could talk and I could walk," she said. "He has a personality of his own. He decided to come on and that was it. Nothing could stop him."
Dad turned into a midwife with some help from an elderly woman passenger.
Train officials turned the train into an express, bypassing most stops to get to the hospital, but the baby was delivered before officers could meet the train in Manhattan.
The first-time parents haven't named their son yet, but they've nicknamed him "Jhatpat," the Hindi word for fast.

MONTERREY, Nuevo León — While authorities in Nuevo León claim to be fighting crime by targeting dangerous criminals, high-impact attacks continue while cartel bosses manage their empires from the shadows.
On Sunday, a group of gunmen went to a clothing store and began throwing Molotov cocktails inside, despite the presence of employees and customers. Nuevo León's government has confirmed the use of the crude firebombs but has claimed that the attack was not tied to organized crime.
A source close to the investigation told Breitbart Texas that approximately 70 employees and 80 customers had to be evacuated out of the El Asturiano store in Nuevo León's downtown area in connection with a fire alarm.
The employees claimed that two men threw at least two Molotov cocktails. The homemade explosives landed near the merchandise at the store causing minor damage. The fire was quickly put out with fire extinguishers.
While Monterrey Police and Fuerza Civil arrived to the business, the crimes scene was not properly preserved as employees began to sweep the bomb residue before state police investigators were able to study evidence.
Hours later, Aldo Fasci, the security spokesman for the State of Nuevo Leon confirmed that a group of men spoke with the business manager and left only to return shortly after with the intent to attack the store. While various individuals are believed to have played a role in the possible extortion attempt, authorities have not classified the alleged arson as being tied to organized crime.
Extortion in Nuevo León is not new. More than five years ago, a group of the Los Zetas burned down a gambling establishment called Casino Royale. During the fire, 52 customers and employees died in the blaze.
Editor's Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to the Mexican States of Tamaulipas, Coahuila and Nuevo León to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities. The writers would face certain death at the hands of the various cartels that operate in those areas including the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas if a pseudonym were not used. Breitbart Texas' Cartel Chronicles are published in both English and in their original Spanish. This article was written by Tony Aranda from Monterrey, Nuevo León.

Samsung Galaxy SIII is one of the most powerful and successful phones in the smartphone universe. Its hardware is still praised and top notch and gives latest smartphones a run for there money. Samsung Galaxy SIII recently made news when a XDA developer discovered a security hole in Exynos 4 series processors.And now, many SGSIII users are reporting their devices being bricked suddenly. These devices just don't reboot after it is charged overnight or if its screen is turned off.
The issue was first seen on Reddit where it gained quite a traction and it links to a XDA submission which started last month and got more then 600 comments. According to the users, the smartphone's mainboard is the culprit in this issue and that the flash memory is getting corrupt and failing. Reportedly, Samsung is replacing the phones with issue under warranty whether they were rooted or not or they had custom firmware installed but Samsung is replacing the mainboards with those of the same revision so the issue might crop up again.
Samsung hasn't officially acknowledged the problem but the employees at Customer Care Centers have reported this issue to be happening to many people recently. It is yet unknown how widespread the issue is but Samsung won't either acknowledge the problem neither comment about it.

Nevada Highway 50 Loneliest Highway in America Solo Bicycle Record
By Rich Staley/on August 13, 2012/in Blog
I (Rich Staley, Owner of Great Basin Bicycles) have always wanted to ride across Nevada on Highway 50, The Loneliest Highway in America non stop from State Line, Lake Tahoe to Border Town at the Utah Border. I tried once at about the age of 25, when your only real energy food were basic powerbars. I learned a ton in that attempt, and only made it to Eureka before calling it quits. I realized that my body would not take in solid food while riding continuously for that amount of time. So, I ended up riding from Fallon, Nevada to Eureka on mostly grapes. It kept my energy level from crashing, but it did not keep it from gradually falling. The other problem I had on my previous attempt was that I started mid morning. I know the first 1/2 of this ride like the back of my hand, but don't know the second half very well. When I reached the 1/2 way point last time, it was already dark, then the next 70 mile section to Eureka was mind numbing. I remember watching a car pass me, and watching their tail lights go up, up, up and up and shimmer away in the distance. I could not tell how steep the climb was, how long the climb was, and had no idea how to regulate the energy I had. I ended up completely exhausted at Eureka, and called it quits.
So finally, I decided to bite the bullet, and do it again at the age of 43. So, August 3rd, 2012 I took my crew up to Lake Tahoe, California – Nevada Stateline to start my trip at about 3:15pm. I had 3 friends crew for me. Pat, Marlies, and Jami. Pat and Marlies are experienced ultra distance cyclists, including riding the Furnace Creek 508 mile race as a solo tandem (I crewed for them during this event last year, and will again this year) and Pat just finished RAAM (Race Across America) as a two man team. And Jami is a fantastic friend of mine that completed Mountain Bike Nevada, 533 miles in 11 days all on a mountain bike. Pat has tricked his Honda Minivan out with bike racks on top, on the back, flood lights on the front, external speakers for the riders listening pleasure, and a full compliment of drawers all labeled and organized inside the mini van. He has this "grocery go getter" tricked out. So at 3:15 ish, I rolled up the Stateline, and started my quest for a non stop bicycle ride across the state on a 2012 Cannondale Super Six Carbon Ultegra DI2 bike with Profile Aero Bars, and Mavic R-Sys wheels. I opted for the R-sys wheels knowing that I was going to hit winds in every different direction, and did not want to get pushed around by deep dish aero wheels. My first leg was:
Stateline Tahoe to Fallon. 87.1 miles, and 2089 feet of climbing, 3 hours, 38 minutes.
This section starts out climbing up and out of the Lake Tahoe Basin, then down to Carson City, and out east to Fallon, Nevada. This was the hottest section of the trip hitting 112 degs F. I was doing ok with the heat, but the crew made a quick fuel grab in Carson City, and when they caught up with me they handed me the most amazing 7'11' Slurpee ever. At 112 degs F, it hit the spot. I made it to Fallon, Nevada in 3 hrs, 38 minutes with fantastic tailwinds, but tons of heat. Through the heat, the crew handed me a tube sock filled with ice cubes to put around my neck. What a fantastic
Fallon to Austin. 110.5 miles and 4656 feet of climbing, 8 hrs and 26 minutes.
As I continued through Fallon, the crew picked up a pizza, more fuel, and another fantastic 7'11' Slurpee. They caught up to me just before Sand Mountain. At this point, the sun was setting, and the temps were cooling to a low 100 degs F. The sunset was beautiful, and the desert colors were magnificent. These colors are something that I just live for. As the temps started to fall, it made it easier for me to drink, and eat. With the heat, everything I tried to eat or drink made me feel sick and bloated. So, all I could do was take in small amounts of food and drink, but constantly. Just past Sand Mountain it was getting dark, and the temps were now dropping into the upper 80s which was a fantastic temp. The winds had reduced, and the dropping temps were magnificent. As I got closer to Austin, I continued to get tired, and started dozing off on the bike, so about 40ish miles from Austin, I stopped for my first power nap of about 45 minutes. I had previously made Potato Soup which the fantastic crew heated up for me in Fallon, and hit the spot at this point in the ride. However, next time I think Chicken Noodle soup would be a better choice as it would not be as heavy. So, I drank as much as I could, and hit the road again. The crew followed me out onto the road in the Honda Mini Van with lights flooding, and speakers blearing. I continued to push on to Austin, and rode the gradual grade up into Austin.
Austin to Eureka. 69.7 miles and 2750 feet of climbing, 5 hours and 11 minutes.
This section was a relatively easy section. Right out of Austin you have Austin Summit which is a short but steep climb, then you get to blast down the other side. It was my goal to drop the crew in their Mini Van. So now it is just past 3am, and I am trying to drop the Mini Van just so I can go careening around steep corners in the dark with no lights from the van. Not smart at 50 miles per hour, but a ton of fun. I only dropped them on a couple of turns, but they caught up fast. Then you climb immediately up Bob Scot summit, then down into the valley with one small climb after the long valley. At this point, the sun was just starting to come up, and the temps were dropping into the mid 40s. So, I pulled over for another power nap and food to wait for the sun to come up, and the temps to climb a little bit. I slept for about 45 minutes with a little more time to eat, and the temps pulled back into the 50s, and back on the bike, and relatively flat to Eureka.
Eureka to Ely. 78.3 miles and 3907 feet of climbing, 5 hrs and 31 minutes.
We stopped quickly in Eureka. Here I was starting to feel the issues of not being able to take in solid food. So, Pat and Marlies recommended drinking Ensure. OMG, what a fantastic product. I had many different energy foods, gels, drinks, and nothing was really making a difference. This is where I quit on my previous attempt, but felt fantastic right now. The ensure took hold in about 10 minutes and I felt fantastic. I started to climb out of Eureka, and the crew stopped at a Delli for breakfast food, caught up to me and had me take a couple of bites of a breakfast bagel. Again, as a solid food, I could only take about 3 small bites, and that was about it. Right out of Eureka, NDOT had tarred the road and put down pea gravel. Every car that would pass the opposite direction would end up throwing the gravel at me as they passed doing 60 mph. The little pea gravel felt like bee stings with every passing car. This was only a 10ish mile section, so over fairly quickly. From this point on, the crew continued to pump me full of ice cold Ensure. It was amazing to see how quickly this product took effect. Continuing to Ely, we also discovered that water mellon wedges worked equally well. About 30 miles from Ely, the head winds started up, the afternoon thundershowers started to pop up, and the temps started to climb just over 100 degs again. Kind of like a humid convection bake oven.
Ely to Border Town Utah Border. 63.6 miles and 2967 feet of climbing, 4 hours and 23 minutes.
Leaving Ely, I was still bucking a slight headwind. My speed was a little lower, but not bad, and it was looking like I was going to finish at about 26ish hours. I continued to drink Ensure, and water mellon wedges with ice water in my bottles, and lastly we started to leave the energy drinks and moved to Pedialyte. It was not as sweet, and was much easier on my stomach. I still mainly drank water with the occasional water spiked with Pedialyte. Once I cleared my next to last climb, I was blasted with a horrific cross head wind, and looking down into Spring Valley, I could see a huge wind farm, and now realize why they are there. The road dropped into the valley, and turned right into the head wind. Once I got there, I ended up bucking a 40 mile head wind, and it was all I could do to turn 9.7 miles per hour, then the road turned up a canyon to the last climb, and the wind was coming strait down the canyon, and again, all I could muster up to do 5.8 mph up the hill to the top. That 25 miles took just over 2 hours to complete. That moved my finishing time to the 27ish hour mark. Once I got to the top of the climb, nothing could keep me from the end. I ended up dropping down on the aero bars, and held between 27.5 mph to 33 mph for the last 12 ish miles to the border.
And a huge, huge, huge thanks to Pat, Marlise, and Jami. There is no possible way that I could have accomplished this ride with out all of their magnificent support and knowledge.

Since mine is an "amateur" cattery fairly small, I prefer to limit the presence of cats at a relatively low number: this is because – despite being part of a herd – Norwegian cat is still a cat and therefore needs his living space. This means being able to retire in a secluded place when he feels the need, without necessarily come in contact with other members of the group. I believe that space must be the primary need of a feline. This highly reduces "stress" and allows a relaxed coexistence of different "souls" in the same group.
I can see good results so far in the dynamics of relationships and also when new kittens are born (which is not very common here …). Mothers are perfectly calm giving birth – sometimes they also ask for their "best friend" company – and the kittens are raised smoothly, developing a very confident character, playful and balanced.
In this page, at the moment, you can see the kittens born in previous years, with matings that have given to me a lot of satisfaction (and for this reason some of the kittens stayed here in Cattery) and you can also see which are my plans for the future, reminding that – as far as I can make plans – is always mother nature who decides when this will happen: this means that the timing is never certain ….

The area known as Cheyne stretches from Church
Ope Cove to Sand Holes and is number four on the British Conger Club list of
Conger Eel hot spots in the UK. There is also excellent Wrasse fishing from the
cliffs and the area is sheltered during south-westerly winds. Fishing in this
area is predominantly onto rough ground so expect to lose gear but there are
clear patches, sand holes, which is where the southern end of this stretch gets
its name. There are several excellent and flat marks on the cliff edge from
which to fish for Wrasse, one of which is Sand Holes Crane, the most northerly
working crane. The high angle of the line when fishing from the cliff helps when
hauling hard diving Wrasse from the kelp but please do look after the fish and
lower them back into the sea using a drop net rather than throwing them as I
have witnessed far too many times.
When Conger fishing from these marks you will
need to get down to the sea to fish. Be very careful and never fish alone. The
cliff paths can be treacherous, especially at night. Please tell the Coast Guard
where you will be fishing and let them know when you return as there have been
many alarms raised by walkers in this area after seeing fishermen's lights at
the waters edge and thinking it was a boat in distress.
Conger to 50lb plus have been caught from both
Cheyne and Pulpit Rock so give it a go and be safe.
Cheyne Section Sea Fishing Mark is a rugged
mark lying on Portland's eastern flank that provides some excellent sport
throughout the summer and autumn.
It is a flood tide venue that offers fishing
from lofty ledges some 40 feet above the sea, but it is also possible to
scramble down to the water's edge near the old pipe at the access point.
This is a noted mark for producing some really big fish. Expect ballan wrasse to
7lb, corkwing wrasse, pollack and many mini species by day. When darkness falls
the real heavyweights appear. Conger eels to more than 40lb have been taken,
along with big rockling, occasional bull huss and a few double-figure bass.
Ragworms will pick up lots of smaller wrasse and pollack, but for the big fish
switch to peeler crabs, hermit crabs or a good chunk of a velvet swimming crab.
For the conger eels and bass use a big mackerel bait. Rockling will take a
peeler crab or smaller fish baits.
A fairly robust rod and reel are required with the latter loaded with 25-30lb
line straight through, along with a rotten-bottom system on your lead weight.
Stick to a one hook rig. A size 2/0 or 3/0 short-shank, wide gape hook is
normally used for the bigger wrasse, while a size 6/0 Pennell is favoured for
the conger eels and bass. If you want lots of bites and smaller species, switch
to a size 2 hook.
Go towards Portland on the A345
and pass through Easton to Southwell. Then take the road towards Portland Bill
for just 100 yards. There is some free parking
on the left before the yellow lines. Access to the Cheyne section is along a
footpath through an old quarry. The better ledges are a few
hundred yards to the south.

Bhramaramba Cheruvu in Srisailam | Near By Places in Srisailam
Bhramaramba Cheruvu is located in the ancient northern pathway to Srisailam from Umamaheswaram, at a distance of about 70 km from Srisailam. It is at Latitude of 16.9º N and longitude of 78.41º E. This place is situated amidst wild and beautiful forest environment. There is a very large man-made water storage tank in this place. This tank seems to have been enlarged and reconditioned in 16th century A.D. There are historical remains of a Siva temple, Devi shrine and a hero stone. The temples of this place were surrounded by a huge compound wall which was probably built in 16th – 17th Centuries A.D.
Mallikarjuna and Goddess Bhramaramba were worshipped here. The Mallikarjuna temple faces to east and consists of Garbhagriha and Antharalaya. The Bhramramba temple is located to the right side of the Swamy temple. Both these temples were connected by a mandapa which was believed to be constructed in later stage. Several small shrines are also seen in the temple complex.
This is a must visit place during the pilgrimage of Srisailam. One can see here a small group of Chenchus, the local tribal people, still leading a primitive way of life.

OH that's just not fair. Kurt, you have an amazing outlook on life. You teach me valuable lessons now and then and remind me to take stock of all that is good, letting go of things I can't change. Easier said than done.
My mom has had many basal cells, has had them burned and chemo-creamed off, she's doing just fine. She was never a sun worshipper either. It just is what it is.
Love and prayers to you and your son.

text: Interim Management Statement - May 2008 07 May 2008 CRH plc, the international building materials group, is issuing the following Interim Management Statement, which is in accordance with the reporting requirements of the EU Transparency Directive, in advance of its Annual General Meeting which is being held today at 11.00 am in Dublin. Overall profitability in the seasonally less significant January/April period, which traditionally accounts for a small proportion of annual profit before tax, is behind the very strong performance experienced in the early months of 2007. Europe Europe Materials has had a positive start with significant advances in Poland and Ukraine more than compensating for declines in the Irish and Spanish markets, where the benefits of continuing growth in infrastructure investment have been outweighed by sharp reductions in residential construction activity. In Europe Products, trading in January and February was well ahead of 2007. However, March results were lower than last year due to an earlier Easter and harsher weather conditions. As expected, April saw a rebound and cumulative results to date are in line with the very strong start experienced in 2007. For Europe Distribution, lower activity levels and profitability in our DIY operations in the Benelux due to weakening consumer confidence more than offset the benefits of a generally good start across our builders' merchanting operations. Overall for Europe, results to date are similar to 2007 and organic growth remains underpinned by a continuing strong dynamic in central and eastern countries. Americas As is normal for Americas Materials, the highway construction season in most of its markets is just getting underway. While energy costs, in particular diesel, will be higher in 2008 our liquid asphalt winter-fill programme has been encouraging. Early indications point to a continuation of the positive pricing environment and slightly softer volume trends of recent years. Americas Products is seeing ongoing declines in US residential construction, and some evidence of moderation in forward indicators for non-residential activity. Further significant cost reduction initiatives have been implemented across our various operations. To date while Americas Distribution operating margins are lower, turnover in US$ is ahead of 2007 reflecting the acquisition last November of Acoustical Materials Services. Although the difficult trading conditions experienced in 2007 have continued into 2008 the rate of decline in like-for-like sales has eased over the past two months. Overall for the Americas, results to date are behind 2007 mainly reflecting continuing difficult trading in residential markets. Development On the development front a total of approximately euro 0.35 billion has been invested to date in acquisitions and investments. In addition, transactions in China, India, and the United States which have already been announced in 2008 are expected to be completed later in the year at a cost of approximately euro 0.85 billion. Share Buyback The share repurchase programme announced on 3 January 2008, which is limited to a maximum of 5% of the 547 million Ordinary shares in issue at December 2007, is ongoing and to date CRH has repurchased 11.4 million shares at an average price of euro 24.40 per share. Outlook The further depreciation of the US Dollar over recent months, together with weaker trends in a number of markets, has made our goal of achieving another year of profit and earnings growth more challenging. However, CRH's profitability and cash flow remain well underpinned by its geographic, sectoral and product balance and as we move into the busier and more significant trading months we have intensified our emphasis on operational efficiency and commercial delivery across our businesses. This interim management statement contains certain forward-looking statements as defined under US legislation. By their nature, such statements involve uncertainty; as a consequence, actual results and developments may differ from those expressed in or implied by such statements depending on a variety of factors including the specific factors identified in this management statement and other factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC.

I bet it's not as good as Twilight.
I'll be honest, I know nothing about this game, but I LOVE the release group
Don't think it's anything like that game, actually. If memory serves, the Twilight game was a hidden-object game, no? This, I think, is some type of RPG.
Yeah you're probably right.

The sheer size of a semi-truck can dwarf passenger vehicles, whether they are cars, pick-up trucks, vans, or motorcycles. Furthermore, many accidents with semi-trucks occur on the highway, where speeds are much higher than on typical roadways. As a result, when an accident occurs that involves a semi-truck, the results can be disastrous for the driver and other occupants of the passenger vehicle. These individuals can sustain serious injuries, including brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and bone fractures, some which may even be fatal.
The trucking industry is subject to strict federal regulations that govern how drivers and trucking companies are to operate. For instance, drivers are limited to a certain amount of consecutive hours of driving before they are required to take a break for a specific amount of time. However, many trucking companies do not strictly follow these rules, usually in order to save money. Therefore, when a negligent truck driver and/or trucking company causes an accident that leads to another's injuries or death, it is essential that you take the steps necessary to hold them responsible.
If you are involved in a semi-truck accident, you should immediately contact an experienced semi-truck accident attorney who knows how to best help you get the compensation that you need. In this situation, you need strong investigative services to determine what happened, who was involved, and whether any negligence occurred. This is likely to include accident reconstruction, identification of all individuals involved, and review of the trucking company's records.
When a semi-truck accident causes serious injuries to you or a loved one, the impact can be devastating. Although some accidents are just that – accidents – others are caused by the negligence of another, such as an inattentive or distracted truck driver. If you are in this situation, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. Call Bonner & Vaughan today and learn how our Wisconsin personal injury attorneys can advocate on your behalf.
