- Brief Synopsis:
- In this book, Marilynne Robinson applies her astute intellect to some of the most vexing topics in the history of human thought science, religion, and consciousness and challenges postmodern atheists who crusade against religion under the banner of science. The book engages the problem of knowledge, an aspect of the mystery of consciousness, rather than providing a simple and final model of reality.

Looking out the window through tears, on a beautiful November day, watching my first grader jump on the trampoline while we waited for daddy to get home. It was hard to believe that I had just been told he had leukemia. He didn't look that sick, a little pale and tired. His knee went stiff and it hurt so we had gone back to the doctor. Now we were to go straight to Primary Childrens, no stopping.
Wylie was so excited to go to Salt Lake and stay over night. That turned into a week of tests, surgery, blood transfusions, pills, chemo, bone marrow biopsies, spinal taps and a diagnosis of High Risk Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. He didn't cry, he was a little defiant about the meds, but he never asked why me or why do I have to do this. He was in remission in nine days.
Wylie has gone through three years of chemo. He was blessed not to have radiation. There were more blood transfusions, spinal taps, bone marrow aspirations, lots of clinic visits, where he fell in love with the nurses and doctors. He had a central line into his heart for three years, so he had to be careful and no swimming. He lost his hair, twice. He got very weak and stumbled some, but he was very strong in spirit.
Wylie has been off treatment for three years now and is cancer free! Wylie is a happy, healthy 12 year old. He likes to fight and play with his two brothers, Wyatt, 10, and Zachary, 4, play with his dog, ride his horse and take care of his cows. He would like a career in medicine in the future to help kids.
He keeps in touch with his special medical crew. He would like to say special thanks to Dr. Stone, Donna Mathis, Peggy Clark, Kristi McKee, Sherry King, Dr. Lemons and everyone at the Oncology Clinic and Primary Childrens.
We have had so many family and friends help carry us through.
Wylie has participated in the Relay for Life each summer held in July and is always excited about helping to raise money for cancer research.

In addition to comedy so often not translating very well due to various challenges to or impossibilities of culture-to-culture of communication, especially through the filter of inexpressive subtitles, typically I find Indian comedies unbearably juvenile, loud, and forced. But when a top advisor on Bengali cinema recommended this film to me, I realized I needed to reconsider that, since almost all the Indian comedies I've seen are Hindi and made since 1990, and thus the traits I dread may not exist at all in older Bengali ones. Plus, said advisor's track record is excellent, having previously directed me to Bhooter Bhobishyot, which I liked very much.
To my naive eyes, this movie is not actually about Bhanu and Jahar, who flounder around trying to track down a runaway young woman from Delhi to collect a reward while also dodging their landlord's demand for back rent, as much as it is about that woman (Nupur) and the fellow (Anjan) who gives her shelter and their adventures while (very easily) staying a step ahead of Bhanu and Jahar. But that might just be because their romance is so cute that my focus was compelled in its direction. As for the question of comedy, this is more of a tee-hee than LOL type of movie, which is perfectly fine by me. In particular, I liked Nupur and Anjan's exchange of gentle one-liners, the kind of thing that people like me do when they are slightly nervous around a new person and then realize "Oh fudge, I'm actually more fond of this person than I'm ready to admit! Time to double my efforts at being a sparkling wit." As their attachment intensifies and they relax around each other, the zip in their repartee escalates. By the end of the film they're cracking each other up, which in my opinion is exactly as a romance should be.
|Awww. This is almost When Harry Met Sally levels of courtship, in my opinion: "When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
Lest you think I have no patience for the titular comedy uncles**, I actually enjoyed them too. I think I could have scripted their action as well as the actual screenwriters did, but when Bhanu forces Jahar on to a stage to inspect whether the lead dancer is Nupur (and of course it is, because of course she's a good enough singer and dancer to just join one of Anjan's stage shows) and he flails all around in a silly outfit, I caught myself LOLing.
|He runs around so much I couldn't get a good picture, so here are Nupur and her backing dancers, who also seem to be enjoying themselves. And I want those trousers.
* That's the father of Bob "Nomoskar" Biswas from Kahaani, for those of you similarly new to Bengali cinema.

Hey Scorpion!
I was wondering what the influences, lyrically, behind the new single 'Super Collider'. Also, will there be a music video to accompany this new track?
Josh Holmes (SC)
Hi Josh,
We are so excited about the release of Super Collider!
Dave was happy to answer your question, so you're getting it straight from him.
"The influences were reading a USA Today article on the God Particle. Actually the song "The Disintegrators" was supposed to be called "Super Collider", but was changed to "The Atomic Disintegrators", then later shortened to "The Disintegrators". There will be a video, but the band is shying away from the overused performance videos, and telling the story of the song, more than just standing there and lip synching."
- 04/15/2013
Hi Scorpion,
I saw a possible album cover on the internet for "Super Collider" but I didn't see it officially released on Megadeth.com. When will you be officially releasing it? Can't wait for the new album!
- Alistair Lisle, Newcastle, UK
Hello Alistair, if you didn't see yet, check out the very front page of www.megadeth.com for a puzzle that reveals the new album cover. You can also do the puzzle at www.megadethgame.com.
There was a version of the cover circulating around the Internet for the past couple months or so with exploding logo and some sub-standard quality artwork, was a very poor design. Remember, nothing is ever official, especially in the case of a Megadeth album cover release, if it wasn't posted here first at Megadeth.com.
Hope you dig the new cover as much as we do!!! You are sure to love the new album once it's released on June 4.

Hello Scorpion,
Just wondering if when we will possibly here a new single from the upcoming Megadeth album and also if there might possibly be a "Making of Super Collider" DVD?
Nick F.
Hello Nick,
A new single will be released soon! Keep your eyes and ears peeled to Megadeth.com for news about that!
There was a fair amount of video footage taken during the recording process of "Super Collider". The band posted tidbits of video clips throughout the last few months, but there was a lot of footage that had not been made public ..as yet. There may very well be a "Making-of Super Collider" DVD in the future, no promises yet, but there is possibility of it happening!

Hello Scorpion,
When Youthanasia came out there was a video that was also released depicting the making of the album. I have it packed away with all my VHS tapes. I believe it was called "Devolver: The Making of Youthanasia". In this day of great technology, is there any hopes that we could see this great video released on Blu-Ray or DVD? It is an awesome video and every fan of Megadeth, especially Youthanasia, should see it.
Mark from California
Hello Mark,
The video is actually called "Evolver: The Making Of Youthanasia" ...but you were close! You'll have to bring it out more often. ;)
Evolver took us behind-the scenes to witness the making of Megadeth's 1994 album "Youthansia". The film, while seemingly recorded using low quality home video cameras, gives us a great view of Megadeth's groundbreaking 1994 album. See more details about the album in Megadeth.com's Videography section.
The video was released on VHS and still is available for sale and online stores such as Amazon. It's a nice thought to have it released on DVD or Blu-Ray but I'll be honest with you, I just don't see it happening anytime soon. But you never know! Maybe one day... That being said, there has been a lot of new video footage taken at Vic's Garage recently during the recording process of "Super Collider" and we may just see a DVD or Blu_Ray come out of that! As for Evolver, for now, we'll have to pull out our VHS players and sit back for some old school classic video!

I have a question about the lyrics of "Sweating Bullets":
The text says:
Hindsight is always 20-20
What actually does "20-20" mean?
Cheers Mareike (Germany)
Hello Mareike,
Vision or visual acuity is tested by reading a Snellen eye chart at a distance of 20 feet. By looking at lots of people, eye doctors have decided what a "normal" human being should be able to see when standing 20 feet away from an eye chart. If you have 20/20 vision, it means that when you stand 20 feet away from the chart you can see what a "normal" human being can see. (In metric, the standard is 6 meters and it's called 6/6 vision). In other words, if you have 20/20 vision your vision is "normal" -- a majority of people in the population can see what you can see at 20 feet.
The definition of "Hindsight is always 20/20" is an ability to figure out what one should have done after it is too late to do it. Looking back you have a clearer vision (20/20) of the event.
But alas, in the song Sweating Bullets, looking back is still a bit fuzzy. Nice story...

Hi Scorpion,
I wondered if there are any tabs of David's bass solos available. David is one hell of a bassist and I want to play all of his lines I find awesome. I am primarily interested in a 1995 solo.
Thank you very much!
Hi Robert,
There are several tabs available in the official Megadeth song books on the market, particularly with Hal Leonard. As for the bass solos, those are not officially tabbed anywhere. Have fun and glad you enjoy the bass lines!!

I'm from Brazil and watched every Megadeth concert here since 98.
Countdown to Extinction and Rust in Peace are among my favorite of all times albums, and since I'm starting to play the bass I would like to know what gear David Ellefson used on both albums.
R. Pigatto
Hello R. Pigatto,
On both "Rust In Peace" and "Countdown To Extinction" David Ellefson recorded with his Jackson Concert basses of the day, plugged into Gallien-Krueger 800RB bass amp heads which powered two Hartke 410 speaker cabinets. Those cabinets were the original Hartke aluminum cone speakers. He also used Rotosound Swing Bass strings and a heavy Jim Dunlop Tortex pick.
Keep in mind, David no longer uses those products and have been replaced by more modern technologies which he uses today. In particular, his Jackson basses and the newest Hartke products.
More importantly, tone is really in your hands. While gear is important, pay special attention to your fingering and how you pick/pluck the strings as well. Much of the Megadeth sound is really in the picking/plucking techniques and is what sets the band's sound apart from the rest.
Have fun and enjoy your bass playing!!
- 02/11/2013
Hey Scorpion, this question is for Dave.
I've been roller skating all my life, and all the times I've fell is finally catching up with me (i.e bad knees, bad back, arthritis from multiple broken bones, ect... and I'm only 20). A little over 2 years ago, I was kicked in the back (literally) where my neck and shoulders meet. Ever since then, my fretting hand has been a little on the weaker side, and shakes like crazy if I try to use it. I've even lost some of the feeling in it. :/ We've figured out that getting kicked in that area had caused nerve damage to that entire arm.
Because of that, I've had a hard time trying to play guitar or bass. Can't ever get my fingers to go where I tell them to go half the time, since they just like to do their own little thing. :/ I haven't stopped trying though. It's gotten a little better, but not enough to start praising to the high heavens.
As someone who's had nerve damage in their fretting hand/arm, what was the process of getting full movement back in that arm? Were there any specific exercises that you needed to do?
In an unrelated topic... I'm seriously looking forward to your guys' new album. From what I've heard in the little snippets, it sounds like it's going to be fantastic!
Kelsie :)
Hi Kelsie,
In January 2002, Dave fell asleep in a chair with his arm in an awkward position, which cut off the circulation to the radial ulnar nerve in his left bicep, compressing it. A compressed radial nerve is commonly called "Saturday Night Palsy". This left him unable to feel or properly move his hand, as the brain could not communicate muscle movement through the nerve. His treatment included four months of extensive physical therapy, as well as acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments and weight training. During this time he was able to fully recover from his nerve injury, as well as tendon damage in his finger he had previously suffered from. After being pronounced 100% healed by his doctor, Dave took on the task of relearning to play guitar, with help from guitarist Ric Flauding.

Hey Scorpion,
Can you tell me what all the knobs are set to on the JVM410? I love playing their music more than anything and would love to know. I just bought one with Dave's signature Cab and angel of death vmnt.
Hi James,
Let me say that for a while now, Dave Mustaine's sound LIVE is almost ALWAYS a Marshall 9200 power amp and Fractal Audio Systems Axe FX preamp.
The JVM410 head is used for all recordings, clinics, small shows, some television-related things....
So, the settings Dave uses will vary depending on guitars, the room, etc. - but here is info that will get you in the ballpark for getting his tone:
On the JVM head, lately Dave's been going with these settings. All numbers are referring to "clock position" settings - so, "12" would be with the knob turned with marker pointing straight up, which should be the half-way setting....
• CLEAN CHANNEL: Green mode on. Volume - 12, Bass - 2, Midrange - 10, Treble - 3, Gain - 11
• CRUNCH CHANNEL: Not normally used
• OD 1: Red mode on. Volume - 10, Bass - 11 to 1, Midrange - 12 to 3, Treble - 12 to full up, Gain - 12 to 2
• OD 2: Red mode on. Volume - 9 to 11, Bass - 11 to 1, Midrange - 11 to 4, Treble - 1 to full up, Gain - 1 to 3
• Reverb: Clean channel only, at 7 or 8 o'clock
• Presence: 3 o'clock
• Resonance: 12 to 2 o'clock
These settings will get you his basic tone. On the last couple of albums, a Marshall "Randy Rhoads" head has also made it on the record and has been mostly used for cleaner tones lately, with the JVM supplying the high gain ones.
Effects employed range from a Seymour Duncan pickup booster, Boss, Maxon and Ibanez overdrive pedals, Rocktron and Boss noise suppression units, a Line 6 MM4 modulation effect module, MXR phasers, Zoom G2.1 DM unit, Digitech and Boss delay/looper pedals.... but usually it's just the guitar, a bit of Tube Screamer, noise reduction and the good ol' Marshall.....

I recently read Guitar World's little article from 90's about Dave Mustaine's "Number One" Jackson KV. Dave states there that he will always be playing the "Number One" in the studio while to protect it, uses his signatures on stage. I'm curious if this is still the same or does Dave use his Dean signatures in the studio on the recent records?
Joel R
Hi Joel, Dave Mustaine uses his Dean guitars exclusively on stage, in the studio and on the recent Megadeth records. In fact, Dave is considering offers on his Jackson No. 1! Keep an eye on the sites and Dave's Twitter account for more info. twitter.com/davemustaine.
And if you haven't heard yet, one of Dave's other Jackson's, his Y2KV Prototype will be on auction at Megadeth's eBay store this week! It's a rare item and you'll want to check that out! href="http://stores.ebay.com/theofficialmegadethstore" target="_blank">stores.ebay.com/theofficialmegadethstore

Hi, I live in north central FL, and am a huge Megadeth fan. Sadly, I have never seen a show because I'm not old enough to drive and Megadeth rarely plays Florida. And when they do, it's usually only a few weekday shows no where near me! Why does Megadeth never come to NCFL on weekends, or just FL, often?!?! I just wanna hear some Deth!!
Justin, FL
Hello Justin, hang in there, the band has visited Florida once or twice before and I am sure they will again. You'll get your chance, and when you do, get ready for the show of your life!
As for the mighty Megadeth not getting to Florida often... I have to disagree! ;)

Hello Scorpion!
I wanted to ask you if any Megadeth member has a tattoo. I know is a silly question but I'm really curious. Thanks,
Hello Vera, not a silly question at all. Here are the facts for you and a few quotes from the guys.
Dave Mustaine
Tattoos - 0
"Me? Tattoos? I would never put a bumper sticker on a Mercedes Benz"
David Ellefson
Tattoos - 0
"Nope I do not have any!! My only ratios are my freckles!!"
Chris Broderick
Tattoos - 0
"I don't have any tattoo's. Some I think are cool and have considered getting them but never enough to actually get one."
Shawn Drover
Tattoos - 1
....and we'll leave you to wonder where and what Shawn's tattoo is! ;)

Hello ScorpioN!
Where can I get a pair of Megadeth logo picks to make my very own Megadeth earrings? Being as they are one of my favorite bands I would like to add them to my DIY jewelry collection. I've looked on Amazon but only one thing came up and it was a display with a bunch of picks and I just need the two since I have only two ears. I like the ones that Ellefson and Mustaine keep on their mike stands (green & yellow, respectively, from what I could see) but was not close enough to the stage to catch any. I assume the ones they use have the band name on them, but I suppose I could be wrong about this. Anyway, dude, I would greatly appreciate if you or any of your Mega cohorts could help me out with this. I don't expect to be the question of the week, I just want to make some earrings, dang it!
Jenni P. in K.C.
Hello Jenni, I will arrange to have a couple of Megadeth guitar picks sent out to you to make some earrings with! What a great idea! Merry Christmas and make sure to send us back a photo of them when they are done, ok?

Dear ScorpioN
I was wondering, what the story behind the episode of Duck Dodgers and Megadeth is?
Hello Kris,
The episode "In Space, No One Can Hear You Rock" featured Dave Mustaine and Megadeth, and the band performed "Back in the Day". It originally aired Saturday, November, 5th 2005 on the Cartoon/Boomerang Network. In this episode, the Martians create a weapon to drain energy from Earth's music and use its atomic power to destroy the Earth. Dodgers unfreezes Dave to play enough heavy metal to overload the device. Megaduck rules!
Duck Dodgers was not Mustaine's only television appearance. He has also been featured on Rock N Roll Jeopardy!, The Drew Carrey Show, Black Scorpion, Behind the Music, I Love the 80s, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Top Ten, Headbanger's Ball, CNN, and several others. Seems he's had quite the tv career.
You can search Youtube for Megadeth on Duck Dodgers to check out the entire episode.

What band is the biggest influence on Dave Mustaine?
My friend, that would be the great Led Zeppelin.
- 11/05/2012
I play bass, and it's really frustrating when I cover Poison Was The Cure with my bass sounding too clean. How does Ellefson gets that Slap-pop sound, while using a pick?
Thank you.
David Ellefson uses a pick and has a very clean sound, but he now adds bass chorus pedal to help the intro for 'Poison Was The Cure' have a bit more of a colorful sound. He turns the pedal off once he is into the song with the full band.

Scropion, I heard that Dave Mustaine has black belts in martial arts. What does he have black belts for?
Hello Rodrigo, Dave Mustaine trained under Sensei Benny "The Jet" Urquidez and holds black belts in both Ukidokan Karate and Songham Taekwondo.
Dave's Sensei has the style of karate, kung-fu, aikido, judo, ju-jitsu, taekwondo, Greco-Roman wrestling, Muay Thai boxing and American boxing. So it's all those things rolled into one. It's a nine-style discipline. His second black belt is in Songham Taekwondo and he was an assistant instructor in that style, and then he taught it privately for a while.
In 2007, Dave became a Goodwill Ambassador to the World Taekwondo Federation in Seoul, South Korea and was awarded honorary 4th Dan certificate in the discipline.

Hello! I have a question for Shawn.
Do you have any snare tuning tips to get your characteristic sound? BTW I love your drumming in the Th1rt3en's version of Black Swan, specially the bridge.
Keep rockin'!
Tuning drums is always subjective - some people like their drums tuned very tight-some very loose, etc. always try to give each drum lug the same amount of rotation for a better chance of the drum being in tune.
good luck,
- 10/09/2012
Dear ScorpioN,
Hi, I wanted to know if you know what the design on the front of the Cryptic Writings album means. Or is it just some random artwork? Thanks!
Well Drew, the cover was done by renowned album cover designer Hugh Syme. Mr. Syme has done artwork for such notable artists as Aerosmith, Nevermore, Queensryche, and Rush. Dave Mustaine gave the following description of this ancient symbol.
"It's called a veve ... It's a voodoo symbol... It means that you can enter into a premises, that it's safe and there is no poison. It's a warning telling you where you can and can not go. It's also a direction. Most of the hobos were people who practiced voodoo. They would go from building to building whether it was a shanty or it was a shack. They would go in there and they'd find chalk writings on the wall that told them if it was a safe place. It was usually done with a burnt stick... When I first got the artwork back it was littered with voodoo symbols and all kinds of stuff. I told them that it was too heavy. I didn't want anything on there that would give homage to pagan gods and shit like that. I want it to be about the music. As it is, that symbol right there, we don't really know exactly what the combination of everything is. We know pretty much what the breakdown of each symbol is but it's like crossing different kinds of medications. You take two separate medications and they have a different and combined effect. There might be something where those symbols counter another symbol and turn it into something else."

I am studying classical guitar (like you or Jeff Waters did) in a Fine Arts School. I am doing this, not only because of the influence you are for me, but also for love I have for classical and flamenco music. The problem is, when I play electric guitar, my classical technique is affected and puts me into trouble at school (with my guitar teacher). I want to take some electric guitar lessons, but it is another technique and I don't want to leave my career either, I'm gonna make both. And the question are:
How did you learn electric guitar while you studied classical guitar?
How did you adapt one technique to another?
How can I avoid to show up I'm making both techniques and not make it so noticeable for my classic guitar teacher?
Hey Gabriel,
Those are very good questions as I had to deal with that myself. There is no great solution, but I would tell you to remember that if you love the instrument you will be playing it for the rest of your life, and that at any one point there will be a specific focus (ex. Classical, Jazz, Metal, tapping, finger picking etc...). Knowing this, when one area has priority put your focus there (in the big scheme of things 4 yrs focusing on classical won't impact your electric negatively in fact it should benefit it).
Here are the answers to your questions:
"How did you learn electric guitar while you studied classical guitar?"
I still had a band and worked on ideas and concepts with the electric but classical had priority at that time.
"How did you adapt one technique to another?"
These should support one and other (besides the difference of using a pick or finger picking). For example one of the concepts taught in classical guitar is the idea of avoiding compound motions when possible to accomplish the musical idea. This is applicable in all genre's of music.
"How can I avoid to show up I'm making both techniques and not make it so noticeable for my classic guitar teacher?"
I believe your technique should be consistent through both, but remember that you are paying tuition to learn from this teacher, so hopefully he has valuable technical information that will benefit both forms of music.
Good luck, Chris.

After going to my first megadeth concert in mexico city and seeing how all latin america loves meadeth and how megadeth loves latin america. I was wondering, Is there any plan or idea of making a dvd of a latin america tour kind of what Iron Maiden did with its "Flight 666" dvd? it would be just amazing. Seeing how the people of the different latin america countries reacts to megadeth's tunes. Thanks in advance and aguante ]V[EGADET]-[ !!
Sergio, Mexico Megafan
Hello Sergio, all the shows on the recent Latin American tour were filmed and there might possibly be a release of that footage in the future. ;)

I was just wondering, since Dave and David are both Christians; do either of theme have a favourite Bible s,verse? And if so, which one? Mine sis Isaiah 53:5, I have it tattooed on my forearm. Also, someone once told me Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" was Dave's favourite tune. Is this true? If so, why hasn't Megadeth done a killer cover of this awesome song??
L'ove from Canada,
Hi Snake, I caught up with Dave Mustaine and put your questions to him. Here's what Dave had to say...
"I do, but that is personal and it changes. If I did, It would be something like 1 Col. 1:13, or Psalm 109:8. The obvious ones like Revelations and Proverbs are all over.
While I love Iron Maiden, I have never said i had a favorite. ;)"

Hi Scorpion, I've a question for Chris Broderick.
Chris, I know that you endorse engl powerball amps, while using Marshall pre amps and speakers live in Megadeth. But you also use fractal audio axe fx ii systems and the amp models and patches which come with it. How do you find the comparison between tones on the fractal with the engl amp you endorse, and what is your stance on the Digital fx versus valve amps. Also is an amp required (like any engl or Marshall head) when you have an axe fx powered by say a Marshall power amp.
Any response to this would be great,
Owen Catterall, Ireland
Hey Owen,
I would first state that this question has been out there for a long time now, however it is only now becoming relevant because until Fractal came around there was no comparison to the original. I would say that tube amps and Fractal Axe's compare favorably to each other, but when you throw in the convenience of all that the Fractal can do, it makes it the better choice for touring. I will always have my favorite amps around however, to make sure that I haven't strayed to far from their tone because with all of the tonal possibilities in the Axe Fx it's not hard to go over board Ahahahha.
Take care, Chris.

Hi Scorpion
I have a question for David. "The System Has Failed", "United Abominations" or "Endgame". Which album that was recorded during your absence in the band you think is best and why this one?
Michal from Poland
Hi Michal, I caught up with Mr. Ellefson this morning and this is what he told me after I put out your question to him.
"Actually, I like all of them for different reasons as I like certain songs on each of them, too. I'd say "Endgame" seems to be the most cohesive for me as it usually takes a band a couple of records to really start to gel together. Plus the production is really powerful on that album, too."
..and there ya have it! ;)

I just want to know how true is the picture that is running in the internet where dave is playing a dean bloodstorm signature Michael Amott
Hello Andras!
Yes, Dave Mustaine is playing a Dean Michael Amott Signature Tyrant Bloodstorm in the photo you are inquiring about. Dave played the guitar at the Dean Guitars 2010 NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants) Jam at The Grove in Anaheim, California on January 15, 2010.
Dave and Megadeth were not scheduled to perform at the all-star Jam, but because Dave, bassist James LoMenzo and Shawn Drover were in attendance at the venue (socializing backstage no doubt), they were invited up on stage along with Steve Smyth (Forbidden, Nevermore, Dragonlord, Testament, Vicious Rumors), and using borrowed gear they played "Symphony Of Destruction"!
Michael Amott (Arch Enemy), who was also performing that night, loaned Dave his guitar for the performance. So there ya have it! Dave Mustaine did indeed play a Dean Bloodstrom one night... and one night only.

Hi Scorpion, I have a question for David E.
I was wondering if he will ever do some clinics outside US (or ask to Jackson/Hartke to do it), maybe in Europe, because I would be really really happy to see him out of stage and discuss about music and playing style.
Thanks, Francesco
"MetalFrancis" on both forums
Hi Francesco, David does have some signings coming up in future travels and possibly some clinics too. He always enjoys doing them and will keep you posted soon! ;)
- 07/16/2012
Hello Scorpion,
I was wondering what inspired Dave to write (specifically the riffs in) the song "Killing Is My Business And Business Is Good." I find it to be an unusual, yet compelling piece of metal for a couple reasons:
1. It's tonal center seems to be in C# (not a common key for metal songs in E standard tuning)
2. It doesn't make much use of pedal notes - the riffs for the verse and intro have a lot of motion and create tension without repeating one note over and over
3. Maybe it's just the way that Gar played the drums, but the song almost swings. Swing is a given in Jazz, but in metal??? And yet, the song's aggression and metal integrity is just as strong as any other metal song.
I'd love to know the back story on this unusual, but very compelling metal tune. It's one of my all-time favorite Mustaine compositions.
Many thanks,
Ed Schoendorff
"eschoendorff" at the Megadeth forums and the Megadeth Cyber Army
Hello Ed, I caught up with Dave Mustaine over the weekend and put your question over to him. Here is what he had to say...
"That is the beauty of not knowing what you are doing. Then when it is time to start following rules, you dont care about the ones you break, if you dont know yer breaking them.
Rest in peace Gary Samuelson."

Hi scorpioN!!
yesterday I was looking at the picture of the album '' the world needs a hero''.

thanks scorpioN!
Manuela G, From Bogotà - Colombia
Hello Manuela, yes, "The World Needs A Hero" features Dave Mustaine on the front cover with Vic Rattlehead emerging from his innards. The cover was designed by award-winning graphic/album cover artist Hugh Syme.

SPRING GLEN/HELPER- Our beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend, Stephen Gabe Vlamakis, age 26, died Aug. 26, 2008 as the result of injuries incurred in an industrial accident.
Stephen was born April 10, 1982 in Price to Gabriel and Sherrie Johnson Vlamakis.
He graduated from Carbon High School in 2000 and earned an associate's degree from the College of Eastern Utah in 2002. He attended Utah State University, but later decided to pursue a career as a lineman. He was working as an apprentice lineman when the accident abruptly cut his young life far too short.
Stephen enjoyed all sports and played baseball on a championship team in Helper. He was an avid golfer who enjoyed hunting and fishing.
He had a fierce love and unwavering loyalty for his parents, his brother, extended family members and friends. He dearly loved his bub, Christopher. Caring, kind-hearted and generous, he turned strangers into friends everywhere he went. He had a fantastic sense of humor and never hesitated to lend a helping hand when one was needed.
Stephen lived his life to the fullest and savored every moment of his brief stay on earth. His tragic death has left a void in the hearts of his family, friends and the people whose lives he touched.
We love you, Stephen, and we will miss you far more than mere words could ever express. You were our first miracle. We will see you later.
Stephen is survived by his parents, Gabe and Sherrie Vlamakis of Spring Glen; his younger brother, Christopher Vlamakis, Spring Glen; his maternal grandparents, Don and Eunice Johnson of Price; his special cousin and buddy, Joseph Dunn; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, George and Tassia Vlamakis.

Visitation will be Friday, Aug. 29, from 7-9 p.m. at Mitchell's and one hour prior to the services on Saturday. Burial will follow in the Mountain View Cemetery in Helper. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home.

Dortmund win group of death
A review of Wednesday night's action in the Champions League not involving English teams, including a win for Dortmund.
- Related Content
Borussia Dortmund guaranteed progression as Group D winners with Robert Lewandowski scoring twice in a 4-1 thrashing of Ajax at the Amsterdam ArenA.
Marco Reus, Mario Gotze and Lewandowski put the in-form Germans out of sight by half-time, and after Lewandowski had added his second of the night, Danny Hoesen grabbed a consolation for the home side with four minutes left.
Porto and Paris St Germain will play off in Paris next month to determine the winners of Group A after both sides underlined their progression to the knockout stages with easy wins.
Porto remain a point clear at the top of the group after a 3-0 home win over pointless Dinamo Zagreb, Lucho Gonzalez putting them ahead in the 20th minute before second-half strikes from Joao Moutinho and Silvestre Varela.
And the French side also rubber-stamped their qualification with a 2-0 win over Dynamo Kiev in Ukraine, with Ezequiel Lavezzi opening the scoring on the stroke of half-time and adding a second soon after the break.
Christian Fuchs scored the only goal of the game in the 77th minute as Schalke 04 beat Olympiakos 1-0 to ensure qualification from Group B and give them a one-point advantage over second-placed Arsenal.
Malaga qualified for the Champions League knockout phase as Group C winners despite a second-half comeback from Zenit St Petersburg, who claimed a 2-2 draw.
The points looked like they were heading in only one direction when the Primera Division side took a two-goal lead inside nine minutes - Diego Buonanotte opening the scoring and Sebastian Fernandez profiting from a goalkeeping error.
But Zenit fought back well and goals from Danny (49) and Viktor Fayzulin (86), earned them a share of the spoils.
AC Milan's 3-1 win at Anderlecht meant they will join Malaga in the knockout stages. Stephan El Shaarawy put Milan in front before Bram Nuytinck was sent off for the Belgians. Philippe Mexes added a second, Tom De Sutter reduced the deficit for the hosts but Alexandre Pato made it three in injury time.

He outsmarted Sasuke by writing rhymes and rapping?
No, he was just that good. There was not much to discover
about the others. They were simply running for their lives trying to get out alive.
If he was analyzing anything (Considering how powerful he is on his own) He wouldn't have used Hachibi, and he wouldn't get soloed by Ameterasu. But him being reckless and a show-off thought; 'Hey why don't I just go 8 tail on their asses'.

Four of the five puppies found abandoned in a trash can at Highland Heritage Park in May are recovering well in foster care and just weeks from adoption.
The two male and two female shih tzu mixes that were still alive when found at the Highlands Ranch park are quickly coming into their own at Douglas County Animal Control Officer Caitlyn Cahill's Bennett horse ranch.
Cahill, who wasn't working when the puppies were discovered May 21, brought them home a few days later after her mother offered to help nurse them to health.
After weeks of being syringe-fed every three hours around the clock, the dogs graduated to warmed-up, crushed dog food and milk this past week and just recently began drinking their water from a bowl. In addition, they have had quite the role model in Cahill's 5-year-old Australian shepherd, Keyna.
"She never had a litter of pups, but she has naturally taken to them," Cahill said of Kenya and the puppies. "We've noticed in the past that she has some really good mothering instincts with the horses and the cats. She really took a liking to them."
The puppies, which were estimated to be between three and seven days old when they were found, are each beginning to show off their individual personalities, Cahill said.
There's Gus Gus, the go-getter of the group, who has been the first to do everything and consistently underfoot. There's Brutus, the cuddly runt of the litter. There's Lilo, the loner. And there's Bridgett, the playful one of the bunch, who likes to wrestle.
Douglas County law enforcement is still asking for help in finding those who are responsible for abandoning the puppies, and Sgt. Erica Dalton said the perpetrator would likely be charged with felony aggravated cruelty of animals.
"We have had a couple leads, but they have been dead ends," Dalton said. "This is definitely still an open investigation. One of the puppies died a needless death."
Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $2,000 for any information leading to an arrest, and the reporting person can remain anonymous if they desire. If someone has information, they can contact Douglas County Animal Law Enforcement at 303-660-7529 or contact Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867 (STOP).
Cahill said the department hopes to be able to use this "unfortunate incident to educate pet owners and prevent something like this from happening again."
"There are so many opportunities available for people who don't want to have a litter of puppies or don't want to keep the dogs for one reason or another," she said. "Neutering and spaying are always a great option, and you can always take unwanted animals to a shelter. We have a long list of resources we can provide if people don't know where to turn, too."

Raising awareness of Parkinson's disease has become a personal mission for Kaitlyn Kinsey.
Kinsey, a Tupelo High School senior, has organized a walk scheduled for Saturday, March 26, at Tupelo's Fairpark to raise money for Parkinson's research. The event – "Steps to a Cure" – will be in honor of her late father, Jerry Kinsey, others who've died of Parkinson's and people who have the neurological disease.
Jerry Kinsey was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2000 and died eight years later.
"He was not able to speak, walk, eat, and eventually he wasn't able to see the world around him," Kinsey said. "Every bit of life he had was taken away from him, but he never stopped fighting, and he lived as long as he could."
The walk begins at 9 a.m. Participants can sign up starting at 8 a.m., or they can pre-register online at: https://sites.google .com/site/parkinsonsawarenesswalk.
The registration fee is $25, which includes a T-shirt. Snacks and door prizes will be available. In addition to organizing the walk, Kinsey designed the T-shirt and will provide entertainment along with Tracy Taylor. People attending the walk are encouraged to bring lawn chairs.
Proceeds will go to two groups working to find a cure for Parkinson's – the Michael J. Fox Foundation and Parkinson's Disease Foundation.The walk is Kinsey's THS senior culmination project.
Being a part of a Parkinson's support group in Tupelo put her in contact with family members of other Parkinson's patients, Kinsey said.
"I have become a part of a group of very special people I hold close to my heart," she said. "Although I no longer have anyone with the disease, being part of the group inspired me to want to do something to change lives and help find a cure."
For more information, call 397-8531 or 767-8597 or send an email to: email@example.com.
"This event means a lot to me and I really want to make a difference," said Kinsey, who will attend Mississippi University for Women with future plans of becoming a nurse. "The experience with my father definitely influenced my decision to go into nursing."

Cardiff Blues welcome back Alex Cuthbert to their starting line-up for Sunday's Heineken Cup showdown with Sale Sharks in Salford.
Cardiff Blues welcome back wing Alex Cuthbert to their starting line-up for Sunday's Heineken Cup clash with Sale Sharks at Salford City Stadium.
Cuthbert replaces Harry Robinson while there are four changes up front with Sam Warburton, Marc Breeze, Bradley Davies and Tafa'ao Filise starting, having missed the match against Glasgow.
"We've enjoyed a great tradition in the tournament as the Blues," said director of rugby, Phil Davies.
"We're one of the top seeds and are very eager to protect that status, so we're keen to do well in the competition as a whole.
"It will be very direct, forward battle on Sunday.
"There are areas which we can improve on, particularly the consistency with which we perform all the moves.
"We need the players to deliver that for us and we need to make sure that we give them the confidence to do that.
"We need to encourage them to play positively and get those key fundamentals right."
Meanwhile, North West youngsters Will Addison, Nathan Fowles, Mark Jennings and Tommy Taylor are all named in Sale's starting fifteen.
Addison switches to outside centre and Fowles teams up at half-back with Nick Macleod, following two appearances off the bench against Bath and Leicester Tigers. Jennings makes his senior debut on the right wing, whilst Taylor is at hooker in an unchanged pack.
"Everybody at the club worked hard last season to qualify for the Heineken Cup. Going into this game, we want to relieve a little bit of the pressure on ourselves. All we're after is a performance like last Friday, to take some of our chances, and I'm sure that win's not far away," said director of rugby, Bryan Redpath.
"Cardiff Blues have been a strong side through the years in the Heineken Cup and are the number one seeds in our pool. They'll be a tough nut to crack. We'll approach the game with increased confidence, especially after the first half display against Leicester, and we must make sure that we're smart during the second half.
"Will Addison is a very talented player. He's had to fill in on the wing to cover injuries and a suspension, but I view him as a natural thirteen. Nathan Fowles added a lot of energy when he came on last weekend and didn't look out of place. We're giving him a chance to perform on a big stage and he's got a big role to play. Mark Jennings has played well in the Jets matches and has trained well. He's a physical boy who'll come up against some big players. We need to be on our mettle – it's an opportunity for all three of them to play well in a big game."
The teams:
Sale: 15 Rob Miller, 14 Mark Jennings, 13 Will Addison, 12 Sam Tuitupou, 11 Mark Cueto, 10 Nick Macleod, 9 Nathan Fowles, 8 Andy Powell, 7 David Seymour (c), 6 Richie Vernon, 5 Fraser McKenzie, 4 Richie Gray, 3 Tony Buckley, 2 Tommy Taylor, 1 Eifion Lewis-Roberts.

(November 27) Today we're celebrating . . . Black Friday
Black Friday
Twas the day after Thanksgiving,
and all through the mall,
lots of crazies were stirring,
the big and the small.
The decorations were hung
throughout the mall with some care,
but weren't these snowflakes
up before Halloween?
Well aside from the bad poetry, today is the official start of the Christmas shopping season. It was the day that, traditionally, retailers accounting books went from "red" to "black." And while that's not really true anymore its still a big day for retailers. And bargain hunters.
So good luck and great "sale-ing."

Skip to comments.Gov. Terry McAuliffe's First Veto Is Against Gun Owners
Posted on 03/19/2014 7:55:27 PM PDT by Nachum
On March 19th Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe (D) used his first veto to strike down a bill "meant to clarify state law" regarding how gun owners without a concealed carry permit may store firearms in a vehicle.
The bill, HB 962, was sponsored by Delegate Benjamin L. Cline (R-Rockbridge).
According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the bill said "the weapon would be considered secured if it was in a container or compartment such as console or glove compartment that was closed but not necessarily locked."
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
Just the beginning from this piece of crap Hillary wanna-be.
My grandfather drove a buckboard to town with a rifle under his seat every day before cars were here.
I drove a `51 Dodge with a .22 LR, open bolt, in the rear window so the NY State troopers could see it, 50 years ago.
Both were the gov accepted norm/law/right of the day.
These govs/cronies Obummer, NY CT VA CA are communists.
They have to be removed from office...throw out the bums and throw out these anti-constitutional "phony laws"
Elections have consequences. IIRC it is the Beltway crowd around DC that drew in the votes to get McAwful elected.
Too bad for regular Virginia folk...
As a lifelong Virginian in Fairfax County, we understand in a very deep way the culture clash between us and our liberal friends on the other side of the river.
There is absolutely no reason for anybody that lives in Virginia to ever go into Maryland, ever.
Ok, maybe for a Redskins game and when the Caps where playing at the Cap Center, other than that and even for family, there is no other reason.
I sent Ken Cuccinelli an email during his election bid and suggested that he paint McAuliffe as some one that will turn VA into MD. This could have or would have been a winning strategy.
For those that are not from the area I'm certain those that are, can attest to the cultural divide that exists between these two states.
Too bad Virginians. You let the illegals in, and didn't fight hard enough. You probably let them get away with cheating, too. A Repugnican't has to win by 10% now, to win by 3%.
I absolutely hate that I'm going to type this...
...but I can't argue with that.
Damn Breitbart's staff for making me agree with that a$$hat. Is this where that site's going? Hype?
Text of Virginia HB962:
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia: 1. That § 18.2-308 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows: § 18.2-308. Carrying concealed weapons; exceptions; penalty. A. If any person carries about his person, hidden from common observation, (i) any pistol, revolver, or other weapon designed or intended to propel a missile of any kind by action of an explosion of any combustible material; (ii) any dirk, bowie knife, switchblade knife, ballistic knife, machete, razor, slingshot, spring stick, metal knucks, or blackjack; (iii) any flailing instrument consisting of two or more rigid parts connected in such a manner as to allow them to swing freely, which may be known as a nun chahka, nun chuck, nunchaku, shuriken, or fighting chain; (iv) any disc, of whatever configuration, having at least two points or pointed blades which is designed to be thrown or propelled and which may be known as a throwing star or oriental dart; or (v) any weapon of like kind as those enumerated in this subsection, he is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. A second violation of this section or a conviction under this section subsequent to any conviction under any substantially similar ordinance of any county, city, or town shall be punishable as a Class 6 felony, and a third or subsequent such violation shall be punishable as a Class 5 felony. For the purpose of this section, a weapon shall be deemed to be hidden from common observation when it is observable but is of such deceptive appearance as to disguise the weapon's true nature. It shall be an affirmative defense to a violation of clause (i) regarding a handgun, that a person had been issued, at the time of the offense, a valid concealed handgun permit.See the rest here...
B. This section shall not apply to any person while in his own place of abode or the curtilage thereof.
C. Except as provided in subsection A of § 18.2-308.012, this section shall not apply to:
No it is the legal immigrants that are voting Dem. Virginia is a purple state trending solid blue within a decade. We are outnumbered. It will be very difficult for a Rep to win a statewide race.
That commie sumb|tch is going to keep on, until he finally maneuvers around to where he ends concealed carry in Virginia. Count on it.
Gun control laws have only one purpose: to criminalize conservatives and isolate them as "bad people".
As long as we still have Louisville Sluggers to set these clowns straight.
No sense giving them an excuse to round up the good stuff.
10. Any person who may lawfully possess a firearm and is carrying a handgun while in a personal, private motor vehicle or vessel and such handgun is secured in a container or compartment in the vehicle or vessel. For purposes of this subsection, the term "compartment" includes a console, glove compartment, or any other area within or on the vehicle or vessel that possesses the ability to be closed and the term "secured" means that a container or compartment be closed but not necessarily locked; and
You and Terry deserve each other.
What good is it if it's locked up and not accessible?
Will the gangbangers be locking up their guns before and after their drive-bys?
You've lost me. What's your point?
"Concealed" is the key word.
Read the Bill.
Thank you Libertarians and others using a another party gravy train scam.
I'm not going to debate this. Flame away, I could give a crap. My final statement:
I'm a minority in a prog state, have a CC and know the laws of all the states through which I may travel. I find it's maddening my state has no reciprocity; I have to know the laws in my state as well as know & abide by the general gun laws of those other states. I hope Virginia has preemption, but it matters not to me as I will never drive through that state. Frankly I think Texas' laws should be adopted nationwide and there be 50-state reciprocity.
If I didn't have my CC it would be OC, secured, or always on my way to the range....and secured would be in a lockbox or range bag in the trunk. Too many guns get stolen as crimes of opportunity from lazy gun owners' cars. I'm not advocating nanny state, but simply stating a handgun not in a holster or on the adjacent seat should be in a lockbox or in a (range) bag/container in the trunk.
That's common sense in my book. If the laws get more restrictive in my state, as they keep trying to do, I'm forfeiting my CC and OCing EVERYWHERE; I WILL end up on the news, guaranteed.
Not good enough? TS
"Too bad Virginians. You let the illegals in, and didnt fight hard enough. You probably let them get away with cheating, too. A Repugnicant has to win by 10% now, to win by 3%."
Well, maybe the Republican candidate has to win by 15% now-—to account for the Losertarian candidate placed on the ballot with help from the DemocRATS. Nice going Virginia-—enjoy your lives under your new progressive overlords.
i think all we have to do is see if the last 50-60 years of gun laws have made life harder for law abiding citizens to exercise their rights, or made it easier,
and then we can clearly see if that right is being infringed or not. i think everyone here knows where i stand. if you don't read the tagline.
Nothing like a goose stepper. One of the elitist from the left that sponsors on demand murder of the unborn. amazing how these idiots get elected.
That's EXACTLY right. I forgot about that. You are 100% correct. FAKE LOSERTARIANS fooled the fools.
The only time it worked in our favor is Nader helping Bush win Florida in 2000.
Seriously? That needed to be clarified? They've been citing people for violating the CCW rules for guns in their cars??
"You also ask whether a center console, glove compartment or any other " container or compartment'' must be locked to constitute a " secured container or compartment." The legislative history of the 2010 amendment shows that the container or compartment storing the handgun need not be locked for the exception to apply. When § 18.2-308 was amended to include § 18.2-308(B)(10), " locked in a container or compattment'' was considered as possible statutory language; 13 however, " secured in a container or compartment" was the wording that was ultimately adopted. 14 By choosing " secured" instead of " locked," the General Assembly evinced its intention that a handgun may be carried in a vehicle without requiring the container or compartment storing it to be locked."
This was given as an opinion by the previous AG, Ken Cuccinelli. The problem is that we have a Rat AG now, and people are worried that his interpretation will be the opposite of Cuccinelli's, so the legislature tried to clarify it, but their clarification was vetoed by McAwful.
Traditional Virginians did not elect this governor. Va. has gone the way of NY. Welcome to the "Brave New World".
2 points.
1. If it is locked up, it is not accessible.
2. It is MY car.
Spot on.
"Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."
-Atlas Shrugged
We keep getting robo calls from Rove's group about what a disaster McAwful is....
The frustrating aspect is not being able to say that if they had supported Cuch, we wouldn't be in this mess...and tell them this is what they wanted.
Screw them all.....
Bless your heart but from what I see and know about No VA, it probably would not have made a diff.
With govt workers on the govt boob, illegals voting unchallenged, liberal sensibilities running rampant and unchecked development, once again, we have a relatively small geographic area dictating policies to the rest of the state.
Also, until the Opposition Party takes voter fraud seriously, there will never be an honest election. (Example: Herring's win)
That's some seriously tortured logic right there.
Ignorance is bliss and wears a striped suit with pink underwear
Thanks. Quite frankly I wasn't sure just what the OP was advocating for.
It's pretty sad that they have to continuously try to erode our rights by semantic games (secured or locked). With good guys, neither way matters. They have no nefarious motive whether the gun is "secured" or "locked" (though locked is just idiotic). With bad guys, they don't care what the law is.

Dan Tangherlini has been the acting chief of the General Services Administration for 13 months, and now the Obama administration has decided to make that assignment official.
President Barack Obama announced today his intention to nominate Tangherlini as the GSA administrator, a job he took over in April 2012, when the agency was rocked by a scandal involving excessive conference spending.
"As Acting Director, Dan helped restore the trust of the American people in the General Services Administration by making the agency more efficient, accountable and transparent," Obama said in a statement. "I want to thank Dan for his leadership over the past year and for agreeing to continue serving in the Administration." Dan Tangherlini, GSA administrator nominee The Washington Post first reported on Tangherlini's change in status.
Prior to coming to GSA, Tangherlini spent more than two years as the assistant secretary for management and chief financial officer at the Treasury Department.

He stepped into the role vacated by Martha Johnson, the former GSA administrator who resigned after the agency's IG found the Public Buildings Service spent $822,000 on a training conference outside of Las Vegas for 300 people in October 2010. During the planning for the conference, the IG said PBS also broke federal procurement rules and agency regulations.
"Every step of the way I will work with you, the talented, committed members of the GSA team to leverage the challenges we face today as an opportunity to build an even stronger GSA," Tangherlini wrote in a letter to GSA employees when he first took the job. "I look forward to meeting you, talking to you and hearing your ideas for improving our agency."
Federal News Radio Executive Editor Jason Miller interviewed Tangherlini in January about six priorities he had set to help the agency move forward in the aftermath of the conference scandal.
"As we begin a new calendar year together, I am confident we will continue to build upon the progress that we have already made and make GSA the model of efficiency and integrity for the entire federal government," Tangherlini wrote. "At a time of shrinking budgets, GSA's role of providing the highest possible value at the lowest possible cost to our partner agencies has never been more important."
The six priorities were:
"If people are worried in GSA about the reputation of GSA, I think they are our best advertisers," he said in January. "When I go and talk to these people who really are committed and dedicated to delivering great services, I get fired about the work they do. I think they are really good sales people for the importance and significance of doing things once and well, of finding things we can share and driving best value into common services and acquisitions within the government. I tell everyone that I will do whatever I can as a leader and manager to help with morale, but I need everyone to help too. Morale at some levels is set by the people within the organizations and they have a role and responsibility to chip in on it."

Biology is the study of life. To understand biology, students need to have a working knowledge of all sciences. The Fairmont State University Biology program gives students the broad based education they need to succeed.
Students can work toward any of three Biology degrees. They are:
- B.A. in Education with a specialization in Biology
- B.S. in Biology
- B.S. in Biology with an emphasis in biotechnology
Students earning the B.S. in Biology have the flexibility to select courses in one of the following areas:
- Organismal Biology
- Ecology
- Cell and Molecular Biology
Biology majors are not required to take a minor.
Some Fairmont State students choose the Biology program as their undergraduate major before going on to graduate school for dentistry, medicine, pharmacy and veterinary medicine.
Career Opportunities
A Biology degree is perfect for students with goals of becoming doctors. Students who choose the B.A in Education with a specialization in Biology prepare to be able to teach biology in grades 9-adult.
Students who earn either of Fairmont State University's B.S. degrees in Biology are set up to be:
- Lab technicians
- Wildlife Biologists
- Research Scientists
- Naturalists
Combining a Biology degree with another field of study opens students to more opportunities. For example:
- Biology and English – Scientific writer, technical journal illustrator
- Biology and Computer Science - Bioinformatics
- Biology and Business – Marketing for pharmaceutical firms and biological supply companies
