Each week the WHM gang force themselves to watch bad movies that were better left forgotten to fuel off-the-wall tangents, inane impressions and unabashed comedic silliness. This is a comedy podcast for movie lovers that can't help but relish pure trash.
On this week's special bonus show, it's "Friday the 13th VII: The New Blood" live from Atlanta! Recorded at the Punchline in April of 2017, listen as the gang braves the waves of enticing mozzarella stick odor to talk about the seventh film in the slasher series! Why does Jason have to look like a lizard person in this? Is Terry Kiser sleeping with that disturbed girl's mother? And how did they not bother to recover that dead dad's body? PLUS: Being a professional gator wrangler in Hollywood pays handsomely!
"Friday the 13th VII: The New Blood" stars Lar Park-Lincoln, Terry Kiser, John Otrin, Susan Blu, and Kane Hodder as Jason; directed by John Carl Buechler.

A mother who has carried a child within her body already has a bond of attachment with her child. That bond is strengthened as mother and child get to know one another day by day. Every child is unique and a parent soon learns some of the character traits of his or her child. But these traits are not fully developed, they are all about potential. We cannot know exactly what the grown person will be like, what they will achieve just from knowing that tiny baby.
Sometimes I think that at Christmas we can get stuck on Jesus the infant, lovely and completely enthralling as any human infant can be. But the potential for a true relationship with an infant is limited and one sided in the beginning. It is all give on the part of the parents and all take on the part of the infant. If we focus on the relationship we have with Jesus the infant, we can miss what we are able to learn and draw from a relationship with the mature Jesus of the gospel stories, the Word made flesh as the gospel of John expresses the realized potential of that infant.
If we only receive the infant Jesus, then we can miss out on knowing the Jesus who offers us wisdom for life. We would miss him saying to us, "Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse not barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! And how can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? If then you are not able to do so small a thing as that, why do you worry about the rest?"
If we only received the infant Jesus we may not have heard wisdom that teaches us to be responsible. We are quick to blame our circumstances and others for our faulty behaviour. But Jesus in the words of Matthew's Gospel teaches us. "Listen and understand: It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles."
If we only got the infant Jesus, we would miss out on the wise Jesus telling us to keep our priorities straight, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
If we knew only the infant Jesus, we would miss out on understanding the fullness of his love – the way in which he accepted those who came to him for help. Jesus welcomed the children when others wanted to whisk them away. Jesus was not afraid to interact with beggars, the poor, those who were sick, even those with dread diseases like leprosy. He extended welcome, hospitality and healing to all.
If we only had the infant Jesus, we would not have heard of love expressed as forgiveness. Remember the wonderful story he told of the prodigal son, the one who took his share of the family fortune and squandered it, and in abject poverty and humiliation returned to ask his father to hire him as a servant. Instead the father was so overjoyed he welcomed his son with open arms. If we only had the infant Jesus we would not have learned that love is expressed in that sort of forgiveness. Forgiveness opens the door to renewing relationships that are suffering from everyday neglect, the purposeful hurt and the thoughtless disrespect we inflict on those we say we love. It is the mature Jesus who also tells us the way to peace is also to love our enemies and to figuratively turn the other cheek in humility to those who injure us. It is the grown up Jesus who encourages us to go the extra mile and to give our shirt as well as our coat if someone is in need of it. Such sacrifice is at the opposite end of the scale to the 'me first' demands of an infant.
Jesus came into the world as a tiny infant – as we read in the Gospel of John, the potential of light shining in the darkness, light that is not overcome by darkness; the Word that was with God, now made flesh. As we get to know this light, gradually entering into relationship with Jesus we come to know him as the one who loves humbly and generously. Then we too can begin to notice the revelation of light, wisdom and love in our lives as well. The potential is there in the manger. The fulfillment is in the life of Jesus the Christ and in his life reflected in each one of us.

So, I recently mentioned that we were making the garden Little Man proof. We (not to be confused with me) spent a good weekends worth of work clearing some of it but in the end we decided that we had no choice but to roll up our sleeves and pay someone else to finish it.
What happened next was four guys and their big machines who went hard at it for a few hours (sounds a bit rude when I read it back but what can you do? I mean, it's a fairly accurate description). And hey presto, we have a completely clear garden! Yippee! (Not without it's issues though – mainly in regards to the stump grinder subcontractor – more on that later).
What we also have is no privacy screening. Boo! I guess that's Naked Tuesdays out the window for a while.
So, in a desperate attempt to get the job done all with minimal effort on my part I called a few gate/fence/landscape people and considered settling on a landscaper that said he could do everything I wanted. I merrily described my dream garden and tried to maintain a poker face when he told me the approximate cost of such an exquisite suburban wonderland that I had word-painted. I quickly came to the conclusion that some of it simply can't be done. Yes folks, there will sadly be no gold-plated floating walk way to my vegetable patches, no authentic Italian marbled water feature or a majestically exotic selection of succulents as far as the eye can see and instead we will throw some grass seeds down and hope for the best.
On the plus, what we have decided is that a landscaper can do some of the big work for us, like the retaining walls, and we're thinking of using a separate installer to work on our garden gates and the privacy screening within the walls. We have also established that I will have the more Realistic-Katie tasks of planting some cheap and easy to find succulents and making drinks for everyone (AKA Hubby and my Dad) while they work on our garden over the next few months! Yay!
I will let you guys know what issues occurred with the stump grinding on a separate post when I have the energy to go into it. I'll also try to get my before and after photos ready for your viewing pleasure…
Until next time,

Letter from Pastor Reggie
In anticipation of a brand new and exciting year, let's take a moment to reflect on some of the great things God did here at FWC in 2015. We saw wonderful growth in every area, but more importantly was what happened to many of you whose lives were touched for eternity's sake. We saw 626 lives changed through salvation, 166 baptisms in water, and scores of people Baptized in the Holy Spirit with a brand new prayer language! We are not sure the number as many received while worshipping in the presence of God during our services.
In addition were healings, freedom from addictions, and restorations in families. We even saw new relationships that led to engagements and marriages, while many people just found new friends. There were also some being led into new business opportunities, new jobs, favor in the marketplace, and graduations from different disciplines. So many blessings, I can't even begin to count them all. We even went back on television in 2015 allowing us to continue our influence by affording our community and surrounding area the opportunity to "peep through the window" of FWC and experience the power of God and the Word of God in our services. God was so good to our church body! We saw blessings in every area: spiritually, relationally, numerically, and financially. My prayer continues to be, "Just as it is in this house, so is it in your house."
Now, as we look to this exciting New Year, allow me to share with great anticipation what is coming: Streams Church begins Sunday, January 17th, at 9:30am, right here on our campus. This brand new expression is for some of you who want to add to your FWC experience, and especially for those in Lakeland who aren't already with us on Sunday. Everywhere around us there are unchurched people, people new to Christ, and people searching with questions not yet answered. This will be an easy-style service with live, cool music and relevant teachings by Shawn Scarborough on a life-size screen. Our very own Kevin and Becka Goddard will facilitate the Streams service. They are newly married and so excited. You might just love it! Try it and see!
I am so humbled when I think about what God has done, is doing, and is going to do in the days ahead. 2016 will be a great year and I believe… the best is yet to come!
See you soon, and have a blessed New Year,
Pastor Reggie

Following the revitalisation of the Star Wars franchise with Episode 7: The Force Awakens, one question emerged out of many: who is Rey?
Scores of articles appeared on Google daily, litigating Rey's parentage. Some championed Luke Skywalker as her father, attributing similarities in character arcs, while others suggested Han Solo or even Obi-Wan Kenobi. Or some other theory entirely. The debate borders on fierceness, but one thing has gone unnoticed. The question of Rey's background has sustained our interest in the upcoming Episode 8, and the franchise itself.
This isn't just because they can't cram everything into one film, this is because they want to hook us and keep us hooked. And it's worked. Not only do we look forward to finding out what culminates following the drama of the Solo family, we itch to receive more hints (because we know the writers wouldn't just have a character blurt out that they're someone's Father – oh wait…hehe) about Rey's backstory. They have fed us tidbits in the form of the lightsabre discovery scene, which tells us that Rey was left with Unkar Plutt for her own safety. That entire montage has inspired countless minds to go into thinking overdrive.
In this way, Disney can be rest assured that this unrelenting 'Who is Rey?' question carries most of the marketing weight. All they need is a tantalising teaser and an exciting official trailer, and they've ensured that the Disney coffers will always be filled up. Conventions also provide the opportunity for fans to present their questions and theories: those end up making news.
Still don't believe that story-crafting is more than just creativity? I present Exhibit-I've-forgotten-which-number: J.J. Abrams' Mystery Box. In Abrams' view, the mystery box symbolises opportunity; it's imperative to keep it closed until the right time. Think delayed gratification. Whether you think the mystery box is gimmicky or lazy, in the case of Star Wars, it has worked. The number of articles, blog posts and youtube videos attests to that.
So, don't have much money for promoting your film? Hold back on key details and promise to unveil them at the right moment. Then the reveal pays off. That applies to novels, too. Don't worry about boring your readers and stuffing exposition all at the beginning. Toss a meat drumstick with the promise of a massive feast.

"The committee has found that Sinha met the accused and this influenced his decisions," Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi told the court on Tuesday.
He, however, opposed registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against Sinha, saying all of CBI's decisions in the case have since been vetted by the chief vigilance commissioner.
Common Cause, an NGO, however sought an investigation by a special investigation team into Sinha's conduct and immediate registration of an FIR against him.
The court will now decide the next course of action against Sinha.

About the sixth time I listened to Melodrama from start to finish, I was walking along shaded roads, the sky settling into swirls of faded orange and yellow, set against a vastness on the cusp of turning from blue to black. As Green Light swells and bursts into life, its chorus rising and consuming the moment, it was all I could do to not burst into song and dance right there, a la Lorde herself in the song's music video.
Seguing perfectly into Sober, the conflicting examination of a relationship under the club lights, the universality of the album hits. A 20 year old in a part of the world could relate to what a global pop superstar straddling two hemispheres was singing about, purely through the shared failings and tumbling forward of a frantic youth. Surrounded by alcohol and heartbreak, which 19 year old hasn't indulged in their early parties feeling like they would be "blowing shit up with homemade dynamite"? But before you know it, you are hurled into the unfamiliar, yet tender and vulnerable time of first love, singing "I'm just the sucker who let you fill her mind" on The Louvre. One of the best songs on the album, the rich bassline and spacey production perfectly complements Lorde's extolling of her partner, and that wonderful chorus that is so self-assured even through its use of onomatopoeia.
Therein is the beauty of Lorde's music. She has grown through times and sorrows so intimately familiar to so many of us, but she refuses to turn cynic while growing up. She's vulnerable in a way few musicians are, particularly in the mainstream arena of manufactured, marketable personas and brands. As she bares her soul on Liability, the painfully subtle piano nudges Ella's voice into the foreground, as if she's reluctant to still fully embrace putting her emotions on display. When she lets the listener into this fractured part of her soul, it's impossible for you to not dig up those pieces of yourself. Once you do that, there is no escaping the trance of the album, with all its kissing and killing and fucking melodrama.
The enchantment of Melodrama is in large part to the fact that there is very definite sound to it. The album replicates the mood of the drunk nights spent at parties, as well those spent crying alone in bedrooms, not only through Lorde's own lyrics and vocals, but through the production. The maximalist, sometimes psychedelic electro-pop production is the perfect nocturnal soundtrack, lit up by strobe lights and disco balls. It shimmers, rather than floods. And when the album does shift into intimate piano ballads, it never feels jarring, but necessary for the powerful emotions to shine through.
It's also evident that Ella's synthesia played a huge role in the creation of this album – the silken, dark blues and blacks are prevalent, with flashes of fireworks. There's also a visual element to the album – thanks to her vivid, poetic imagery, it often feels like you're with Lorde, in her studio, on her nights out, in her bedroom, in her head. This vulnerability plays out like its own little movie along with the music.
There is a subtle, yet definitive shift in tone once the album reaches Sober II(Melodrama). Ella has reached the turning point in the period post the breakup – the pain is very much alive, burning, but she's more certain in her strength to move forward. Another of my absolute favourites, Writer in the Dark, is incredible in its emotion, Lorde's vocals finding a tone she's never found before – a devastatingly raw tenor that drops all pretenses – it feels well and truly like a punch in the gut that leaves you reeling and lost for words. As she declares her undying love, one that' she unflinchingly says will last even when he calls the cops on her, she also stumbles on the power to be without him – not his love, perhaps, but him. It's nigh impossible here on forth to expect Lorde, let alone yourself, to recover, but she does. She turns pragmatist, unraveling the fantasies of her love, the Supercut, finally, firmly telling her ex-lover to "leave." She's a realist, not an optimist.
While this is clearly a breakup album, unlike so many other (inferior) albums, Lorde explores the other elements of her life that have intertwined with, and affected her personal relationships. She has the ability to explore her psyche in revelatory ways that unravel an array of sentiments, where her romantic relationship acts as the center of gravity. On album closer Perfect Places, Lorde acknowledges the indulgent life she's leading, the travails she's aware this life has brought her, but questioning "what the fuck are perfect places anyway?" In the midst of all the chaos she finds herself in, she realizes this is her new normal – and she's determined to make the most of it.
Melodrama is the unparalleled portrait of a young woman finding her way in a world that's intensely unfamiliar to her, but one she stubbornly stumbles through. The gaffes of youthful naivete are there, but so is the maturity that comes with the failing of first love, when the illusions shatter. She's no longer coyly sipping orange juice at the tennis court, but letting her wardrobe slip to the bedroom floor at the end of a night on the town. And she owns it all. And the beauty of this album isn't that you need to live Lorde's life to understand and relate to her; you just need to co-habit the same cracked parts of your heart that Ella does.

I am happy to mention that our partners at Silicon Publishing used CS Extension Builder 1.5 to create an extension that runs within Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop (CS5 & CS5.5) and enables Creative Suite users to access the 14 million images available in Fotolia without leaving their applications. Using the Fotolia extension, users can search, preview, download and purchase images from within the Creative Suite.
One of the cool features is the ability to drag-drop any image on your Creative Suite project. Once you decide to purchase the image , it gets replaced with the high-resolution version. And by the way, purchasing can take place from within the extension. That simple… Check this blogpost by Silicon Publishing for more information and a demo you definitely don't want to miss :).
This is one of the many examples showcasing what can be built using CS Extension Builder and the CS SDK. Feel free to send us examples of extensions you are working on and let us know how we can improve our tools.

THE HOLLOW, Monday and Tuesday, January 20-21, 7:30 p.m.
LAUGHTER ON THE 23rd FLOOR, Tuesday and Wednesday, February 4-5, 7:30 p.m.
DREAMGIRLS, Monday and Tuesday, March 23-24, 7:30 p.m.
MAMMA MIA, Monday and Tuesday, May 11-12, 7:30 p.m.
You can park in the lot right across from the Theatre Centre. It is free to park there IF you will pick up a parking pass inside and place it in your car before you audition.
The short answer is: "no." You can come to either Monday or Tuesday, whichever works best for you. Please don't come to both audition days, it doesn't help your chances of getting a role; however, the callbacks for the show will usually be held on Thursday following the audition, so if you have a conflict that day, please let us know at the audition.
Sort of. Yes, if you have to hurry from school or work to get here by 7:30 pm; that is fine. Just be aware that there is an audition form that must be filled out before you can audition, so if you can arrive 15-30 minutes early, it would be less stressful for you and more helpful for us if you can have that done by 7:30 pm.
No, when we hold auditions for a musical, we will teach you a short part of a song and a short movement piece or dance combination. For plays and musicals, if there is a scene we want you to read, we will provide that, too. The only preparation necessary is that you have a list of ANY conflicts you might have with rehearsal. This is vital! We MUST know any days you will miss in ADVANCE of casting. Any conflicts not shared with the production team at that time will mean that the actor will forfeit their role.
Rehearsals for most productions begin soon after auditions and our rehearsal schedule is usually Sunday through Thursday from 7:30 – 10:30 pm. The final rehearsal schedule will be based on the conflicts given by the actors at the time of the audition; this is why that information is so critical.

- Service: Customer Experience
- Industry: Healthcare & Life Sciences
A suite of Salesforce Platform solutions was deployed to 800 users in just six months - decreasing agent call handling time and reducing case-creation time lag and dependency on spreadsheets and emails.
- Multiple disparate legacy systems—SONIFI needed to align three business units, including 100 call centers and 250+ field service personnel, on the Salesforce.com platform
- Limited front-office visibility into customer data—SONIFI needed to integrate information from its ERP application to provide a 360-degree view of its customers
- Inefficient case management— Call center and field service teams relied on e-mail as their primary case-management channel; this was not efficient or scalable
- No mobile capabilities—Field service personnel needed a dynamic mobile application to stay connected while in the field
- Decentralized knowledgebase— Customer service personnel needed a robust tool to manage their knowledge and portal presence to increase call deflection and reduce call handle times
The solution
We partnered with SONIFI to optimize its business processes and deliver a comprehensive suite of solutions on the Salesforce Platform™, including Service Cloud®, Sales Cloud®, Customer Communities™, Partner Communities™, and Mobile solutions for field service. We helped SONIFI reduce its service costs while increasing field service efficiency and effectiveness for the newly rebranded organization.
Single platform with 800+ users— We consolidated cross-functional business units onto the Salesforce Platform across sales, service, and field service functions.
Service Cloud Console—We:
- Developed a streamlined case management process for customer and field service functions.
- Deployed entitlements, milestones, and service contract functionality to increase visibility and compliance with service level agreements.
- Used Visualforce and Apex programming to develop a solution for increasing the accuracy and speed of case reassignment between support and field service personnel.
Sales Cloud— We deployed a Salesforce solution across lead, account, contact, opportunity, and activity management processes.
Salesforce Partner Community (installation and field service partners)—We implemented a Partner Community solution to allow field service contractors and partners to access the Salesforce Platform.
Mobile development—We developed Android and iPhone applications for field service technicians so they could stay connected while in the field.
Functionality included access to cases to track time spent on site, capture photos, and attach those directly into the Salesforce Platform.
Data integration (governance/ advisory for middleware selection)—We provided advisory services on the selection and implementation
of a middleware solution to support integration between Oracle and Salesforce.com.
The results
SONIFI now has a single platform in place and a solid foundation for its business.
Rapid deployment and user adoption—We deployed the solution in six months and rolled it out across 800 users.
Decreased agent call-handling time— Email2Case and Web2Case increased efficiencies within the contact center. The solution also streamlined the handoff process from contact center to field service personnel.
Reduced case-creation time lag and less dual entry—The solution eliminated a need for dual entry
between functions, driving efficiencies and improving case-resolution time.
Reduced dependency on spreadsheets and e-mails—Standard reports and dashboards within
the Salesforce Platform reduced departmental dependency on spreadsheets and e-mail submissions for contractor documentation. In addition, automation of monthly reporting reduced time spent developing spreadsheets.
Improved 360-degree customer view—The solution improved visibility of customer activities across all departments.

600 nurses from Philippines to be recruited in bid to fill Northern Ireland gap
More than 600 nurses are to be recruited from the Philippines in an attempt to plug Northern Ireland's chronic nursing shortage.
The region's health service is running on a shortage of 1,500 nurses - 10% below capacity - with health chiefs warning of a difficult year ahead.
A lack of qualified nurses across the EU and concerns over Brexit has meant that health bosses must now look overseas for staff to fill vacant posts until enough local nurses can be trained up.
This is one of a number of measure being taken by the Department of Health to address the staffing shortage.
In an interview with the Press Association, the region's chief nursing officer Charlotte McArdle said the staffing problem arose because the supply from undergraduate recruitment has not kept up with demand and an ageing workforce.
She added that the overseas recruitment initiative is only intended as an interim measure "to get through the difficult years".
"The answer for us is to grow our own workforce. We can't be reliant on other places to do that for us. The overseas programme is an interim step to help balance things while we get to the other side," said Professor McArdle.
There has been greater investment in nurse student places over the past two years with the Department of Health increasing pre-registration nursing student places by 38%, from 650 places to 900 - an increase of 38%, she said.
There are between eight and 10 applicants for every undergraduate place.
However, the first band of new nurses will not complete their university qualifications until 2019.
One option to help balance out the workforce was to recruit from other EU countries. But Professor McArdle said Europe is in a similar position to the UK and Ireland in terms of nursing.
She said there is an assumption that many EU nurses are becoming worried about the impact of Brexit.
"The facts are there aren't many (nurses) there (across the EU).
"We are aware that the number of nurses on the NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) register has declined quite significantly in the last year. They are telling us that the number of EU nurses are dropping off the register very quickly.
"I don't think anyone has the answer (as to why), but I think there are a lot of assumptions around nurses becoming worried in light of Brexit. Certainly we would have to consider it," said Professor McArdle.
She said this is the reason a decision was taken to launch an overseas recruitment programme.
"Through that programme we are hoping to recruit 622 nurses, mainly from the Philippines, with some from India, by 2020.
"We have a history with the Philippines, and to a lesser extent India, from the last shortage around 2000," Professor McArdle said.
She warned that a difficult year lies ahead but insisted there is "light at the end of the tunnel."
"We are running with just under 10% vacancy levels. In the context of Northern Ireland we have probably in the region of between 15,000 and 17,000 posts and about 1500 vacancies. That is in context of a workforce of 15,000.
"That is significant, but in the context of what is happening around us, it certainly isn't as bad as what would be happening in England or the Republic of Ireland and it is probably on a par with Scotland and Wales.
"This year is going to be difficult in terms of nurse recruitment but hopefully from then on in we will start to see light at the end of the tunnel," said Professor McArdle.
"We just need to get through this difficult stage.
"I fully recognise that staffing levels are a source of great concern to nurses. I want to assure them - and the public - that the issue is being actively addressed on a number of important levels," she added.
Other measures to address the nursing shortfall include a Return To Practice programme, to encourage nurses who are out of practice to return to the profession, as well as a programme to encourage nurse retention.
A pilot scheme is also to be introduced that would see admin staff taking on administrative work that nurses are currently having to do.

Four Australian Banks – Four Social Media Infrastructures
Brand storytelling is what drives content, and it's more than just the copy on your web site, an app, an ad, a tweet or a Facebook status update. To be effective a brand must be supported by an infrastructure that has the right teams, structures, editorial workflows and technology solutions deployed to drive organisational change.
Our KINSHIP team examined what technology solutions the top four Australian banks are leveraging to support their social media efforts and found four very different technology deployments.
Commonwealth Bank
Commonwealth are leveraging Radian6 technology supplied by Salesforce. Radian6 doesn't support Instagram though and it seems escalations are responded to outside of Radian6 in the Twitter web client. However, the strategy is not consistent across the bank's regional offices with Indonesia using a combination of iPhone, Hootsuite and Twitter Web.
ANZ Bank
At first glance ANZ Bank seem to be a very consistent Hootsuite Enterprise technology user. However, that is not consistently leveraged across the bank with Blue Notes leveraging the Twitter web client.
This is the most unique of the banks with Westpac leveraging the platform from Lexer. Lexer has the ability to merge various social, digital, and company data into a single view. However, KINSHIP hasn't being able to confirm that this platform is compliant with the Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook terms of service [API data use].
National Australia Bank
Although NAB are an ex-Radian6 user, we understand that was more for research and listening. From a day to day perspective NAB leverage Lithium Social Web.
Twitter Comparative Analysis
Comparing the four banks there is clearly a focused investment into Twitter by ANZ Bank, followed by Commonwealth Bank.
Michael Brito, a friend of the KINSHIP team has stated that "Unfortunately, you can't just turn the "publisher" switch on and expect operations and culture to change overnight. You must deploy a social business strategy to make this change successful and scalable – one that encompasses people, process and technology."
The Australian Banks need to move from merely supporting agents and community building to supporting the development of a social media strategy. A key part is examining how Social Media links to the bank's business strategy, as well as the overall "technology architecture" of the Bank. In this way a formal "social architecture" becomes a piece of an overall digital architecture and "digital transformation" program rather than something hanging off the side.

Rather than post by artist, I've decided to post just in random groups to show the diversity of the music on the cd. If you are one of those artists (or the distributor - Iain, you out there?) and you don't want your track posted, get in contact (my email address is written in the sidebar).
Sweet Cynicism, Popemobile (NOTE: This link now works - thanks to Dave for pointing out the error.) [EDIT: Link removed but Dave still thanked.]
Hey, all you bands who've been slagged off by Ben Butler - wanna hear him sing? I actually quite like this song, but there is a fairly obvious reason why Ben's a journalist and not a rock star.
Blood in the Streets, Masonite
You'll either love or hate this (the linked review hated it), but for some reason, it's grown on me over the years. If it's any comfort to you (and the reviewer), it's supposed to be a pisstake of Oi!, a genre I am utterly unfamiliar with, so have to enjoy the music based on my liking for yelling and tuneless brass sections.
Dragster - Deep Sea Diver
I know almost nothing about Dragster, but I like them a lot and this is uploaded as your dose of conventional, pretty pop for today (that's not supposed to be perjorative). I know that the singer was in a band called Wondrous Fair, AND I'M ABSOLUTELY FUCKED IF I CAN FIND ANYTHING ON THE WEB ABOUT EITHER BAND. If you know of anything please list it in comments.
Presumably, the name of the compilation is based on the mythical creature, more or less invented by C. J. Dennis, called a Triantiwontigongolope. "Triantelope" is a name for the huntsman spider, a mostly-harmless but nevertheless intimidating companion on wet nights.
Next fortnight, some Space Food.

Why would you need an appraisal from Dianna J. Joseph, Appraiser?Year after year, thousands of people in Illinois purchase, sell or refinance their home. Many of these transactions involve a simple line item for an appraisal. While there are a growing number of automated home valuation methods that may seem cheaper than an appraisal, almost all lenders still want a local expert because the stakes are so high. You might think that obtaining a mortgage is the only reason you should get an appraisal, but there are additional instances when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional could be beneficial.
Dispute your tax assessment in Peoria CountyIt's possible you're paying too much in property taxes if you live in an area where property values have declined. Ad Valorem taxes are based upon a previous assessment of your real estate, so if values are less than what they used to be in your area, you can appeal your assessment and save money. When building your case, an appraisal from Dianna J. Joseph, Appraiser is your best evidence. At Dianna J. Joseph, Appraiser, we're qualified to assist you in disputing your tax assessment.
Eliminating PMI will lower your mortgage paymentPrivate Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an extra insurance plan that almost all lenders ask home owners to buy when the amount being loaned to the home buyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate. This extra payment is often bundled into the monthly mortgage payment and is quickly forgotten. This is bad because PMI isn't required when the remainder of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - falls below the 80% level. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was implemented by the United States Congress requiring lenders to remove the PMI payments when the balance is paid down to 78% of the original value.
Dianna J. Joseph, Appraiser will give you a statement regarding the value of your home, and the expense of the home valuation can generally be regained in just a few months because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
An appraisal from Dianna J. Joseph, Appraiser will help you settle a divorce with less stressA divorce can be a very daunting ordeal for both parties, and it is often further complicated by the troublesome decision of who keeps the property. So both parties are fully aware of the true market value of their property, it's a good idea to order an appraisal from Dianna J. Joseph, Appraiser, regardless of the situation.
If the parties want to sell the home, they'll have a better idea of what price to set. And on the flip side, if a "buyout" is the chosen option, both parties will feel like they've received a fair assessment.
Settling an estate with peace of mindThe death of a loved one is a difficult time in life, and settling an estate from a death, or probate, often requires an appraisal to establish Market Value for the residential property involved. We ensure the utmost degree of discretion, as we're bound with confidentiality by the ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
Unlike wealthy individuals, most Americans don't have dedicated estate planners or executors to manage these issues. A home or other property often makes up an unequal share of the total estate value, so understanding the true value of the real estate at hand is of vital importance to ensuring disputing parties walk away knowing they've gotten a fair deal.
Dianna J. Joseph, Appraiser can help you with relocating to or from Peoria CountyMoving due to a job change is a stressful event, and we understand. That's why we take great care in setting up a convenient appointment time for the appraisal inspection. We encourage relocating employees to provide feedback on the positive features of their property, along with information about any recent sales or listings in their neighborhood that they want considered during our thorough process.
Let Dianna J. Joseph, Appraiser assist you in selling your home quickly at the right priceA professional appraisal can help you make a more informed decision when determining your asking price, whether you want to sell your home on your own or with the help of a real estate agent. Separate from a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Our fees are based on our efforts to finish the appraisal report and not a percentage of the sales price.
We analyze the difference in value items like an additional bathroom or a kitchen remodel can make on a daily basis. And we're experts in knowing how long properties stay on the market. So, obtaining a professional appraisal is a reliable way to determine what improvements will add value and what an appropriate sales price is for your home so you don't come up short or have your house on the market for an extended amount of time.

LET IT BE Box Set… this incredibly rare original 1970 UK 12-track LP box set includes the 160-page softback photo book 'The Beatles Get Back'. The book is packed with colour/B&W photos & text from the film which was never sold separately. The slipcase box which is reknowned for being VERY flimsy, has survived incredibly well.
What is most interesting is that this rare box set was gifted to its first owner by pirate radio DJ Tony Windsor [Atlanta, Caroline, Radio London] and the Side 1 label has a 'Factory Sample Not For Sale' sticker attached as it was given to him for review purposes. Tony kept it for 34 years before selling in 2004 to its last owner. We're pleased to finally bring this wonderful 'Factory Sample' example to the market for only the second time in its 41 year history.
For the important other stuff…the matrices are: YEX 773-3U and YEX 774-3U.
Side 1 label bears the FACTORY SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE sticker. This box set originated from pirate radio DJ Tony Windsor, who gifted it to the original owner in 1970.
It is housed in the genuine first issue fully laminated picture sleeve, with red Apple logo on the back.
Original plain white inner sleeves with PATENTS APPLIED FOR and MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN are printed along the bottom edge.
The condition of the ever frail outer slip-case box lies comfortably within the top 10% of remaining examples. There is a crease to the front left edge, no doubt due to an enthusiastic grasp from its original owner over 40 years ago. There is evidence of a repair to the top left seam. The back of the box displays the text 'Designed by John Kosh Photographs by Ethan A Russell Printed and made in Great Britain by Garrod & Lofthouse Limited (Patents Pending)' along the bottom edge.
The outer tray remains in near mint condition. The inner tray, which holds the 'Get Back' book, has a 1cm split at the bottom right corner . The other three corners remain intact and strong. (Images available.)
The book itself has no loose pages, the colours are vibrant with a sheen that only 40+ years in hibernation can preserve.

Coping with being diabetic can quite often be demanding. This article should offer you several recommendations to help you in dealing with your illness.
Normally, desserts, sweet as they are, are not among the safest of foods for diabetics.
As diabetes is a recognized metabolic condition where one's blood sugar levels tend to go to dangerously high degrees, nearly all dessert kinds are no no's for a diabetic.
On a general scale, the ultimate aim a diabetic would have would be to attain a typical blood sugar level, which is achieved between a combination of medical treatments, the most typical of which are insulin injections, and a strict diabetic safe diet. A diabetic's diet is fairly a lot the control variable in determining the disease's course, and is fairly essential in dealing with a diabetic condition.
The food restrictions for diabetics, strict as they might be, are confined by the degrees of nutritional content a food sort has, which do not necessarily mean a diabetic's meals be bland, or tasteless or dry. Meals and desserts could be anything, as lengthy as the nutritional content of their respective ingredients are within the "safe zones"? for healthy diabetic meals, and healthy diabetic desserts.
Thus the prevalence of healthy diabetic desserts, which stand as the alternative to "normal"? sugar-ed desserts.
Healthy diabetic desserts are dessert kinds which are safe for diabetics to eat, with no downside to a diabetic's blood sugar levels. There are a number of healthy diabetic desserts for diabetics, prepared or featured in cookbooks, every equally satisfying as most "normal"? dessert kinds.
A excellent example of which would be the Chocolate Mint Pudding for Diabetics, one of the quite a few kinds of healthy diabetic desserts.
Here are the basics in making this dessert among healthy diabetic desserts.
In making a Chocolate Mint Pudding for Diabetics, 1 would will need 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa, ВЅ cup granulated sugar, Вј cup cornstarch, 1 tablespoon crГЁme de menthe, 3 cups 1% low fat milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 3 crushed peppermint candies.
With the given ingredients, 1 would just have to mix the sugar, cocoa and cornstarch in a medium sized saucepan, adding the milk gradually although mixing. The mixture is then cooked on a medium heat setting for 20 to 30 minutes, until the mixture thickens. Once thickened, take the mixture off the heat, then add the vanilla and liqueur.
After mixing, spoon the mixture into the individual containers you would want them to be in, then chill. Upon serving, sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies on the pudding.
Healthy diabetic desserts are not only perfect for diabetics, but for non-diabetics as well. Health is wealth after all, and the path healthy diabetic desserts lead individuals to isn't in fact so bad.
With any luck , you may have learned a few valuable tips and hints from this short post. Using the suitable strategies and suggestions to support you, controlling diabetes shouldn't have to be a stressful issue.

Irishman Shay Given, who was unable to celebrate St Patrick's Day on Monday, is ready to drink in the atmosphere in tonight's Champions League game with Barcelona.
And the Newcastle United keeper told me today: "If tonight's atmosphere is anything like it was the time we beat Barcelona six years ago then it's going to be some night.
"Because of our game tonight I was unable to celebrate on Monday but I have been training all this week with a shamrock on my jersey."
Given and Barcelona's Michael Reiziger are the only two players on show tonight who ran out for that game on September 17, 1997 at St James's when United emerged 3-2 winners, although Aaron Hughes was on the bench.
And while no one will ever forget Tino Asprilla's match-winning hat-trick, Given can still remember Barcelona's late fight-back when Luis Enrique and Luis Figo both scored in the last 18 minutes.
Given recalled: "It was a real helter-skelter finish and things got a bit hairy.
"Don't forget it was the first Champions League game and they wanted the points as much as we did.
"They threw the kitchen sink at us but fortunately we managed to hold on until the end.
"But even when they were 3-0 down, they showed what a top team they are and we will have to watch them tonight.
"And don't forget they beat us 3-0 in a pre-season friendly here."

In a research note to clients this morning, Miller Tabak healthcare analyst Les Funtleyder writes about the FDA news I blogged about yesterdayregarding Amgen's anemia drugs. He says, "...we believe the major 'leg down' in usage (of the anemia drugs) was last year and more studies assuming no major new negative revelations will only serve to continue deterioration but at a decelerating rate."
But Funtleyder still isn't telling people to buy AMGN. "Though valuation is reasonable," he writes, "a deteriorating core franchise and a lackluster pipeline keep us on the sidelines for now."
And I also heard from Amgen shortly after the entry was posted. The biotech company's top spokesman, David Polk, fired off an email claiming I had not put the news in context. "As you will recall, we issued a release on December 6th announcing the label change discussions around GOG and PREPARE as well as the upcoming ODAC. Amgen is concerned about patient safety and that is why we are continuing to work closely with the FDA on ESA label updates, providing communication updates to healthcare providers as appropriate as well as conducting new clinical trials to address unanswered questions," Polk wrote.
COG and PREPARE are the acronyms for the two clinical trials in question. ODAC is the abbreviation for the FDA's cancer drug advisory committee which will soon take up the issue. ESA is the abbreviation for the anemia drug class.
He then went on to take me to task for, as he put it, taking "shots" at Amgen's unresponsive (that's my word) media relations team. Mr. Polk said he'd only retrieved my voicemail message of last week requesting an interview next Monday with Chairman and CEO Kevin Sharer at the upcoming JPMorgan Healthcare Conference on Wednesday of this week, when he returned from the holiday break. But he did not say why a day later he still had not replied.
A few blog readers have accused me of spending too much space here complaining about what I see as bad corporate PR. But all I'm trying to do is lift the curtain for investors and other interested readers to show people what happens behind the scenes in the daily give-and-take between the media and publicly-traded companies.
And, as a possible side effect, I hope this platform will help me make some headway. In this case, at least I finally got a response from someone at Amgen, which is hopefully a step toward building a better working relationship with the company.
Mr. Polk also claimed that because the company will be reporting earnings later this month that Mr. Sharer is in a regulatory "quiet period" and, therefore, can't give an interview right now to CNBC.
Mr. Sharer and hundreds of other healthcare company CEOs and top execs are making live presentations all next week at the JPM confab to thousands of investors and the formal power-points are followed by 30-minute q. and a. breakout sessions with smaller groups of investors, not to mention all of the one-on-one meetings that take place in San Francisco.
As we have done for the past several years, CNBC has a full slate of CEOs lined up for live interviews from JPM on Monday and most, if not all, have upcoming earnings. As promised yesterday, I will post our lineup here later today.

Arlington, VA—The six leading North American trade associations representing apparel and footwear brands and retailers, including the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA), the Canadian Apparel Federation (CAF), the National Retail Federation (NRF), the Retail Council of Canada (RCC), the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), and the U.S. Fashion Industry Association (USFIA), sent an open letter Wednesday to government and industry stakeholders in Cambodia urging an immediate end to the violence and protests regarding Cambodia's minimum wage.
"Our industry is committed to ensuring that all the products that they produce, source and sell are manufactured under lawful and humane conditions," the letter said. "As part of this commitment, we are committed to promoting the safety and security of workers in our supply chains."
Solutions Needed for Wage Dispute
Violence has erupted in the Southeast Asian country for several weeks when workers went on a nationwide stripe demanding a doubling of the minimum wage to $160 a month—the government offered $100 a month. About 500,000 Cambodian are employed in the garment industry, the country's biggest export earner.
As part of the call to end the violence and hostility, the associations called on all stakeholders to immediately return to civil and good faith negotiations to permanently resolve the situation. To prevent future unrest, the associations also called on stakeholders to develop a regular and predictable wage review mechanism.
"These actions will not only promote both the short and long-term health and stability of the Cambodian garment and footwear industries, but these actions will also enable the Cambodian garment and footwear industry to maintain the strong relationships it has with our member companies," the letter stated.
Several major international clothing companies, such as H&M, Adidas, Gap, Columbia Sportswear, Puma and Levi Strauss, had signed a joint letter decrying violence against workers.
"We strongly oppose any form of violence, and urge the Royal Government of Cambodia to drive negotiations among stakeholders to peacefully resolve this dispute," noted Laura Wilkinson, a spokeswoman for Gap Inc.
Cambodia exports about $5 billion in garments and footwear annually, but workers say they cannot live on the current minimum wage of $80 a month.
The Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia, which represents factories, originally said a wage increase was not possible and that factories would move to other countries if workers continued to strike.
