I think Howard Stern splashed himself with a shot glass of water for an Ice Bucket Challenge. I guess he was afraid of getting that wig wet.ReplyCancel
Worst Outfit Of the 2014 Emmys. You can only pick ONE! I chose Dascha Polanco, only because Lena got the exact look she was going for:
Malfoy on crack channelling Pink Flamingos…
I know I'm not supposed to write about you know what, but I missed the fashion snark fest earlier. Carry on…ReplyCancel
Is that a wig?
He prob couldn't do it at home cuz he couldn't get his horse to dump a bucket of water over his head; although she does like to wear a bikini, he could do it to her.ReplyCancel
I have a head cold and feel miserable. Sympathy please. I know my boys at home won't give me any.ReplyCancel
@LadyH. Ess okay. Ur snark is SPOT ON.ReplyCancel
@Dishy, I got 2nd row to Dave Mason in a few weeks. Anybody old enough to know who he is?ReplyCancel
It's MY Birthday on Friday and had every intent on binge drinking the weekend away…but my daughter convinced me that she would just DIE if I would not take her to the Fall Out Boy/Paramore concert on Saturday. It's her weekend with her father and he refused to take her. So Mom steps up to the plate! (Secretly love Paramore, so it's not a total hardship..I'll just have to bang my boyfriend real good on Friday to make up for it..lol)ReplyCancel
@Helen. Isn't that the truth about males – sheeeeesh. No sympathy atttallll.
I do feel for you. It sucks being sick. Although you get to be on here. Lol. O ya, sympathy….. I do hope u feel better soon. Maybe can eat some gormet style chicken soup. 🙂
High priced Vodka vs. cheap vodka. Unless you are drinking straight shots right out of the freezer, what's the difference? If you are adding ice cubes and/or mixer and/or soda, you are just a fool for paying more for a fancier bottle.ReplyCancel
Yesterday while waiting outside (with my puppy-naturally) for a friend that I took to The Dentist, i stopped a lady in a minivan who backed up and into the side of a newish car and smashed it pretty good. She was trying her darnedest to get the heck outta there- TOTAL HIT N RUN -Betch!
I let her see me taking a pic of her lic plate, when she still was make a "gun" for it I stepped to her window and knocked while telling her she knew she hit the car and standing so she couldn't maneuver around me w/o hitting me.
I was pissed at her and I didn't want someone to get screwed. It was not the smartest thing I've done. And the safety factor DID occur to me, but it didn't stop me.
She also had about 3 teens / Tweens in her car. What a good example she was setting.
And ohhhh, if looks could kill I wouldn't be here.
I told her I had pics and to wait that I was going into the 2 offices to find the car owner. She never said a word to me. I had even asked if she spoke English. When I found the owner and she met with the woman I could hear the woman was American and had understood me just fine; she just wouldn't talk to me.
So, they did there thing, the bitch left and I continued to wait for my friend outside on a bench, AND GUESS WHAT! a Freaking BB came flying at me. TRUTH! It pinged off a garden rail about 1foot away from me and I saw it. I was like, Holy crap!!" And I wondered if the Hit and Run family went around the corner or came back and the kids took a shot at me.
A passer by saw the BB too. The dentist, who had seen the action going on with me came to check in me, twice, after the BB the Dentist insisted I wait inside even with my pup.
It's a pretty nice neighborhood and nice Dentist Offices. I guess that doesn't matter at all.
Damn, @SYF, that sounds like a day and a half! Did you report it?
@Helen, hope you feel better soon! I know exactly what you mean, when a guy gets sick, it's the end of the world as we know it. A woman gets sick, they offer to pick up KFC.ReplyCancel
@Lady Heisenberg
Re. the fashion at that event which shall not be named, I'm more forgiving of the lower-tier performers who dress badly, since they have far fewer choices and less experience. It's embarrassing, but the hope is, that as they become more successful they'll learn and improve. There is NO excuse for those that have a stylist and access to bespoke designer dresses to get it wrong.
I don't mind what Lena wore because, as you said, it accomplished exactly what she wanted it to. I just wish it had fit better. If the designer doesn't send a seamstress with the dress, then hire your own. Poorly fitting clothes are disrespectful to your host.
My worst dressed was actually Sofia Vergara. There was nothing wrong with the dress, but it's the same dress she's worn at every event for years now and I'm sick of it. She's a top-tier TV star with a stylist, access, and a great body. She has everything going for her, but no imagination.
My best dressed was Robin Wright. Ralph Lauren ripped off Phoebe Philo for Celine's design (he did the same with Valentino for Lupita N'Yongo's Globes dress), but the result was great. I love an evening suit on a woman.
Sorry for the essay. I could talk about fashion for ever.
It's my birthday Friday also, but your plans sound better! Hope the concert is fun!ReplyCancel
@All Lace No Leather: I got 2nd row to Dave Mason in a few weeks. Anybody old enough to know who he is?
Little bit. Enough to be jealous.
There's only you and me and we just disagree…
Only you know and I know all the love that we've got to show…
Feeling alright…not feeling too good myself…
Let it go, let it go, let it flow like a river
Let it go, let it go, let it flow through you
Enjoy, @All Lace!ReplyCancel
Well thank you @SYF
Happy early birthday LURKER!!!
Sending HeisenHealing Power And hugs to @HELEN
Feel better soon!!! <3
And thanks for biting YOJ and great input! Sofia does ay it too safe in those Zuhair Murad gowns but she's so stunning, no one calls her on it.
I think she's the most gorgeous woman on TV the past few years but her voice KILLS me. Someone best shut that PARROT up already! (Ugh I miss Happy Endings!)ReplyCancel
@Heywood Definitely cheap Vodka, usually Svedka not the Popov that my best friend's grandpa kept a pint of in the glove compartment. My husband loves his scotch and he splashes for the good stuff that doesn't come in the big bottle.
On another note, my youngest son is being deployed sooner than expected. He's going to try to come home on leave in late October but I have a feeling that he will be deploying even sooner. I just hope he can make it home for a visit, not just for us but so he can say goodbye to his dog. She's 17 and she's not well. It gives me the sands.ReplyCancel
You have so much on your plate right now!
I know it's MUCH easier said than done, but try not to be anxious over what you can't control. You could make yourself ill that way. Take care of yourself, so that you can take care of your family.
I'll keep you and your son in my thoughts and prayers.
@7of11. No, I didn't even think to do that. My thinker may have been "out of order"..
Now I want KFC.ReplyCancel
@auntliddy. U made me lol!ReplyCancel
@Scallywag, thx I'm looking forward to it. I think you are a bigger fan than you admit!
@ Dishy, I love Traffic and Blind Faith. Each time I've seen Eric Clapton he has done some Blind Faith tunes, and when I saw Steve Winwood, he did both Traffic and Blind Faith. I'm hoping Dave does some Traffic too. This will be the first time I've seen him.
I love the music from the 60s and 70s. I think I was born a decade too late.ReplyCancel

K i decided to help you there gonzy
Tron history
I discovered this game at a friend s house on april 2005 we were bored so he started to play a strange game to waste some time , when i saw armagetron for the 1 st time i was like shit it look like 1 movie i saw when i was a child, so i tried and liked it immediatly and then downloaded it at home, when i got this i started on local game since i didnt know there was internet servers on it
1st time i realised there was internet games was like few month later since this moment i just left my playstation 2 and all other pc s games, i had to play this.
I started on tigers servers , then i saw a serv called norms place and i started to play and becomin good at it. In this server there was a clan called |AST| (all star tronners) with some cool players so i asked to join and have been accepted. Norms place had some old players who still plays like hoax , alex/xs20/rico/sabian whatever you want to call him
, pez and olorin (now called schwuly ).
The ast clan started to play fort and told me to try it so i joined in middle of 2006 one of the most popular server at this time called ctwf
where i got kicked couple of times cuz i didnt know what meant "grind" :/ then a guy who liked me called |AST| warrior (later i knew this guy was infamous For me he ll stay the best player of this game) showed me how to play fortress, i learnt pretty fast and played my first fort match in august 2006 it was a 4 team fortress match with |AST| , CT , SP and oops , we lost badly
then i continued to play and in november 2006 we made �x� clan composed with alex , hoax , subzero , infamous and me.
Since this time , i never left fortress.
I played my 1st ladle in january 2007, it was ladle 7 where 4 teams participated
now its 20
. I just loved it and wanted to play it again and again... I made my 1 st final on ladle 11 , won my 1 st ladle on ladle 12 then i stuck with x and won some, x for me was the best clan ever , in skill and in term of mentality , thats where i met Flex who applied and we recruited him That period was the top of my skill for me , i played a lot and became the best attacker , i was able to cut every def and was on top 3 of fort players, then after this , nothing to say until ladle 18 where i didnt play and went on break cause of work for 6 months. When i came back , x clan didnt exist anymore cuz hoax decided to merge with tx, when i came bk , arrow , ct , sp (flex
) and tx invited me , i joined tx cuz i was in x when i went on break but i left 2 months later cuz i was disapointed by the difference of mentality, then when i left hoop told me to look at arrow clan , it was full of nice and skill players so i joined , played 2 ladle , won one with them and then the clan died so some of us decided to join sp (psy , viper , judders and me) since this moment , i m stuck in SP in which we have the record to have won 3 ladle in a row and now i enjoy my "tron life" with you guys.
Player stats:
Clans :
|AST| , �x� , Tx , Arrow , Speeders
Ladle played

Ladle Won
: 7 ( 3 �x� (attack) , 1 arrow (defense) , 3 ~*SP*~ (sweeper) )

I'm apparition. Here's my Tronography.
I found Armagetron in
October 2006
when I was 20 years old and in my second year of college in Michigan, USA. I had just bought my first Mac laptop in September and had learned all the obvious secrets of Apple products, so I started looking for some games. I loved Fallout and Fallout 2 for PC so I bought them and played them through. I played some other nostalgic games and decided to find some freeware games on the Apple website and I found 0.3.0 Armagetron there.
Of course, I played locally for a few hours before getting bored and then out of curiosity I tried Network game. I definitely had my fair share of kicks from fortress servers and whatnot before I found
Durka Durka Land
. I quickly changed my name to apparition, and started saying "toot toot" after I killed anyone. At first my only gridskill was comedy and making people laugh, so I made friends quickly
Everyone was really cool there and helped me learn the rules and physics of the game, silly concepts like digging and camping, and gamer speak. I never played any online games before this, just Nintendo and whatnot, so "
" and "wd" and "nt" and "stfu" and "gtfo", etc. were all foreign to me
I played there day after day and really late into the night, too. I met Durka within a few days and being similar ages and whatnot, we got along. After two weeks he was messing with some map options in DDL and made a very small tunnel that went to a secret room. The whole "
" thing seemed like it was the coolest thing in the world, so a bunch of us in the server made Durka say the first person who gets into the secret room would become moderator in his server. Someone made it into the tunnel before me, but they died before getting to the room. I made it to the room and he made me an Admin. That was great incentive to keep playing. I met Hans and Custang and we played together a lot. They were always yelling "wall bug" whenever they would die on the rim. I told them that no wall bug could kill me, only a wall tiger, which eventually lead us to the creation of the DDL clan
Wall Tigers
I think the site is still floating around somewhere.
After a month in wT I got sick of "rubber" servers and tried
Capture the Flag
. I left wT because I was never playing in DDL and stopped caring about admining the server. Capture the Flag was really fun for a while, but people just didn't know strategy or anything, so I gave it up as a bad job. I used to follow Durka around a lot and chat with him while playing and he lead me to
. Here I played with lots of awesome tronners, but the most memorable for me was Chubb Chubb, who was the friendliest tronner ever. I always felt special because he only spoke in seemingly nonsensical symbols that I learned to understand. He was the one who started: "D. He had symbols for "Go Attack!" and "I'm Def, you attack!" and "Hole!". It was really funny. CTWF was great for me because I learned how to grind and gain speed and learn fort physics before finding the ultimate game modes.
In early
December 2006
I joined the forums and started tooting around there. I found the wiki and forum topics about fortress stuff and decided to give it a try. I only played when Durka was in the server so he could stick up for me when people were trying to kick me
So I think Durka got sick of me making him look bad, so he and Legit started to train me. We'd go into a server just the three of us and they'd teach me how to defend so they could practice attack. The really odd thing that they taught me is not to "hide" behind my tail so that they could at least have some chance of breaking my def. I still defend most often in fort these days just because it's comfortable for me. I don't even think it's my best position, and you wanna know the reason why? Durka and Legit taught me all that BS about not hiding!
I ended up really wanting to join a clan at some point. I don't remember really when, but I was talking with |x| clan about joining when ~ X ~, Goodygumdrops, Sagelord, and I decided to start
Twisted Rats
. I'm really proud of all the time we put into that clan. I'm proud of where it is today, too. Anyway, shortly after starting TR, |x| started talking about how they wanted me to join and I was dealing with a lot of personal crap having just started a really difficult program at the University of Michigan. So, I gave it all up and left tron for a few months.
I came back to tron in
and worked my way back into the good graces of ~ X ~ and Sagelord. I asked to be reconsidered to join TR. Goody didn't like me and he told me so. He told me if I rejoined I'd have to deal with him not liking me, but I'd be good for the clan so he left it up to me to decide. I rejoined thinking it would be cool. I left after a few months.
Freako and hoop asked if I'd join
, so I did, but I wasn't happy with being the only American in a clan that was starting from the ground up. I felt I didn't belong and I left after two weeks.
I started playing with my college roommates in
late 2007
. My best friends to this day. We started
clan and played in shooting servers. That lasted two hours. Then we started playing sumo and once they were good enough, we started the joke clan
bA (backwards Animals)
. I still play under my bA name (b�.kr�hS) when I play with them because real life > interwebz life, right?
b�. regiT and b�.owL are those old roommates and best friends. I played casually for a few months, but mainly focused on having an amazing time in college.
Late 2008
after playing a lot with Owned, I thought about joining
Crazy Tronners
. Funny story, one of my roommates played 1v1 fortress with Owned and was just getting murdered when I came home from work. I laughed and took his place, told Owned it wasn't me and started killin' him. That would never happen today as he is very clearly superior
So I submitted an application to CT and then disappeared.
I went inactive because I started studying neurophysiology after college. It's honestly an amazing field of study and practice, so I had to give it my fullest attention. I barely played from
April 2009 to October 2009
. I started playing again heavily in
January 2010
and Concord asked me to join
Plus+ team
. Concord, noob saibot, 1200, sine.wav, hoop, and Radian. We weren't the best team but we had some interesting and fun ideas. I played some great Ladles with them, but we lost our momentum when we decided to expand our clan and let players who weren't really ready for our level of fortress onto the team. I definitely took my aggression out on
when I started some really in depth discussions on the Arma forums about strategies to use against their holing and it shined a bad light on me...
Anyway, we had our core group SNATCH (sine, noob sai, appa, twelvehund, concord, hoop), and we tried to salvage it, but it was lost...
I did my own thing for a while and then started thinking seriously about joining
Crazy Tronners
again. I hounded Owned (who is now Woned, for the dumbest reason evarrr
) about my chances of getting in, whether I should even try after having a controversial light shining on me about the ~*SP*~ holing stuff, and then decided to swallow any pride I might have had as an longtime tronner and applied.
I don't know how I'm still in CT, they are too good for me. These days I'm doing my best to bring innovation to the clan in any way possible, but these guys are like my digital family now. I'm blessed to be a

Back in November or December of 2005 I wanted to try Linux out. I had heard about it on a tv show called Call For Help, I would watch the reruns of this tech show every day after I got home from school. So I finally picked Mandriva Linux to install. Downloaded it I think it took around 3 CD's. I did not have a computer of my own at that time, so I reinstalled Windows (happened a lot whenever it got slow) and installed Mandriva Linux to make it dual boot.
After having installed it I looked at the games it had. I found armagetron as well as some other games. I played local games for quite a while could not figure out how to turn. So I gave up on it for a few days. After a few more tries at local game I found one turn key (I believe the left one). So I still thought well this is pointless and gave it a rest again. When I came back to it I figured out how to configure it. Configured it to use arrows, down being the brake.
After this I went into network game. I eventually found Tigers network speed blast. It was a pretty popular server back then. It basically had inverted brake like Chico's eye (although that was not invented back then).
About 2-3 times a week back then I would reboot the computer into Linux just to play armagetron. It was not until March of 2006 that I decided to search for the game. I ended up finding the windows build (0.2.8.[maybe something]). By this time if I played in speed blast more and more people just camped and did not press the brake, so it was getting a bit boring. I ended up finding Crazy Tronners wild fortress by the end of March. Also the bugfarm fortress, but I liked CTWF better because to me it was more stable. However I got kicked in CTWF several times. I got soo upset I found CT's forums, registered and Pmed the Admin. I never got a response back, but I kept plating in there, and learned the basics of Fortress. I also learned what maps to grind and what maps to split on.
Ah the deadly Chico of back then 32 axes of pure fun. Back then chico's hourglass no one would dare to grind on. I experimented a few days and had a successful grind. After that That became a new tactic of mine in my instant chats. People thought I was nuts when I told them that, But it successfully killed the opponents every time. Then about a week later both teams were grinding.
As time went by I eventually caught that crazy guy ed testing a new map, Chico's eye (sometime in the beginning of April 2006). After that I started wondering how to make maps. I ended up finding robed (the guy responsible for Chico Sumo) on CTWF and he pointed me in the right direction.
To be continued.... (gotta get outta 2006 somehow)
@appa, I should ask Chubb Chubb to come back
, ~ X ~ won't come back
(Don't worry He'll be in part of my continuation)
In theory it should work in reality who knows if it will work.
I am 26 years old how can i be a teen ?

All started with an essay that I had to write with my good old friend. You might know him as BloddyD0o.o0T or ReapeR.
We both were kind of PC Freaks. We used to play CS:S together, we made it in the high EAS games, but nvm.
So when he got bored, he started this game called Armagetron Advanced. He joined fast any fort server.
He was randomly hitting some keys and suddenly those colored instas came.
I really liked this game then, but I was never motivated to download it.
This was in March '09.
Later in the year like May and June.
We had to do some more presentations. And we met always at him, because my little brother is the evil himself.
We got bored again and he played this amazing looking game again.
I was like: 'Wow how do you turn that fast?' 'Why do they die so fast?' 'Are you da UBERPWNZHACK0r in this game?' and some more
In our summer holidays we had some Lan-Parties, but he never played Tron, because we always played CS:S and Warcraft 3 ^^.
Finally in our autumn holidays... I downloaded this damn game and my friend was like: 'YES!!!!', well he always wanted to prove that he is better in every game that he and me are playing. He was not.
So we were on this Lan and played in any empty server online. Me and some other friends were kinda idling around while we did not understand how to double bind. And my good old friend raped the shit out of us. He used both hands and I was blaming him very hard
When I arrived back home, I was not really tired, so I decided to play this freaking game.
I joined Sumo. I died. I RQ'ed. I joined Wildcat. I pwned once. I pwned twice. But I only pwned, because my friend showed me what double binding is ^^
When I started Tron again, I joined a server called Nano Fight or anything like this, like HR for Nano
I was playing this like half a year, but only once a week or so.
And I switched over to CTWF. But I never was above rank 11 or so
In February'10 my friend asked me if I would play this stupid game still... I answered: Yes, but I think I do not like it much. He asked me to play some Sumo with him as one team in CTOS.
I said: 'When you are happy then'
After some more experiences, I improved fast as hell. In March'10 we won like 15 matches in a row on one day
My friend saw those improvements and challenged me to a fun 1v1 in Fortress to prove that he pwns me.
He pwned me. I had no clue how to attack, so he took all those points. He was not the best attacker, but I could not def neither.
Sometime later in the March I saw ~*FoFo*~ and ~*Flex*~ making an amazing 2 people maze on CTOS and I was like 'OMQWTFBBQ I want to do this too
So I asked one day some random persons which this clan is. They told me that they are from Speeders and they would pwn as hell. I was like: 'Oh damn, I need to improve to become that good and join this clan'. Yes, Speeders I wanted to join you.
The next month I played like 2 hours a day to improve as fast as I can. And I improved. So I headed right to SP forums. My only Aim was, Cronix join this damn clan.... NAO!!!!.
But I read those requirements, which said... With a Post Count of 1 we know that your not really interested in the clan and you only want to become a Member of SP.
I was asking myself if I wanted to spam some randoms topics full, but I was too lazy.
Later in June I applied for DS, I thought they were a good choice, because they are not to Pro and not to Noob. My application was on like 4 weeks, then I told them that I am one week in Italia.
After I arrived back home I instantly started my computer and went to their website... still no answer...
I am NOT impatient, but they did not even say that they will vote or anything like this.
So I pulled my application.
2 Days later I got grabbed up by Liz. She told me she sees many potential in me and wants me to join her Ladle Team called Plus+. I said: 'Yes' ,because I remembered that Liz was a good player
I played my first Ladle, it was Ladle 36. We made it to semi-finals and lost to SP.
That was about the time MB and me were best friends already. He always told me about his wish to join CT. So I wondered that he joined pRu o.o
He left pRu later on as you all know
In Ladle 37 we had to face CT in our first round, unfortunately we were 2 + SpinAce.
G5 and me were there. I was really disappointed from my team. A TST was one week later, I used to play with one of our members. He was not there so I asked someone to sub in.
I left Plus+... lack of activity.
I met MB on the grid more often and saw the he improved fast.
So I told him that I wanna CT, too.
He played for CTb in Ladle 37... I think... And I played for SPD... again we lost against CTa .... oh ffs ^^
He always told me that you have to be Pro to join CT.
I always wanted to apply before him. But school was more important that moment.
I saw him applying and applied 2 weeks later.
Until this moment, I had no friends on the grid except MB53 and Liz and Spin aKa INW. It was like playing alone and it seemed noone knows me.
Right after I applied Titanoboa told me that he invited me when I cancelled my Application for DS. And I told him that I would be sorry, but I did not remember that.
I decided to may give it a try when CT rejects me. They did not. I am a full CTer now. And I am proud as hell.
For everyone who reads this. Yes, I know my english sucks. The fault of my teachers
and the german school system.
1103 words... omg and it only took 20 minutes
Have fun while reading and this is all true!

The beginning:
Well, I am playing the tron since 2002-2003. Can't remember.
My wife started to study Social Work in the University in 2002. She was working in the mornings and going to the university in the evenings. She hadn't time to do the subject works, and i started to did them for her in the evenings. I obtained in two subjects the highest note of the university without going to class.
Well, when i was bored of writing in Microsoft Word, Excel and Acces, i took a rest and one day i found Armagetron while i was browsing.
I started to play during breaks of my homework.
Between 2002/3-2005:
I knew a player called faramir, and he hosted a server, The Ring Community. Together with another player called Emuman we created HT clan (Hispanotronados), a clan of spanish players. We were me, Faramir, Emuman, Klax, Andre, Lestat, Perdio, Spam, Kortzd, and i cant remember any more. Klax was the first one that I remember that he developed plygonal maps and more of 4 axes to turn. I can remember when he (he was of Barcelona like Xevi), called me to prove those new maps.
I remember of that time: Angel, Wepj, Ooix, Loops, Lucifer, Simcosmos, Garisimo, Palatinum, Joda, Eddie...
In 2005 HT clan dissapeared with the server. I am the only that survived.
I stopped to play when i moved to my new home at 2005 and because the clan dissapeared too.
Since 2006:
I started to play again sometimes. In October of 2006 i fell very ill with pneumonia. I was 1 month in my home and nobody could visit me. So i started to play seriously again.
I realized a lot of things have changed. Capture the flag, Sumo and Fortress Servers??? I was several months playing CTF, then CTWF, then Fortress, then Sumo, then joined CT and now i am here.

Amazing pair of wedges!!!
"I LOVE these wedges!!!! They are so comfy and run true to size. I can wear them all day. I wish they would bring the black colour back as that is what I have now and now I'm wondering what I'll do once they wear out:( I should have bought an extra pair as backup when they still had the black...please bring the black back!"

"The Fear Is What Keeps Us Here (Special Edition)"
"If the melodic end of the kingdom has been taken by Killswitch Engage then the extreme end belongs to Zao. No question." -- Metal Hammer magazine.
Awake? will sound immediately familiar to anyone who has followed Zao�s convoluted, controversial and altogether exciting career, with its signature all-out heaviness and beautifully simple memorbilitiy. Awake? stands easily beside the best and brightest of the Zao catalog, with the kind of production (courtesy of guitarist Scott Mellinger himself together with As I Lay Dying vocalist Tim Lambesis and Daniel Castleman) that Zao has always deserved.
Thunderous, epic, and full of passion, Zao (Greek for �alive�) is driven by vocals that exorcise singer Daniel Weyandt's demons as if his life depended on the songs. His words reshape a personal history wrought with tragedy, suicide and death into beautiful musings that connected with their brutal honesty and naked self-observation. Mellinger, the band�s primary songwriter, adds melodic vocals as well.
Zao's storied career was documented on the two-disc The Lesser Lights Of Heaven DVD and the luminaries of today's heavy music scene are well aware of their debt to the band. Underoath and Unearth opened for Zao. Thrice, As I Lay Dying and Demon Hunter love Zao. Matt Heafy from Trivium joined the band onstage during a tour together.
Zao�s hometown of Greensburg, Pennsylvania isn't known for many things besides being in close proximity to the mall where George A. Romero filmed Dawn Of The Dead. And that isolation has allowed the band to steer clear of trends.
Zao�s original incarnation formed in the mid-90s with evangelical zeal. When that version of the band fell apart, Zao as it would come to change the course of heavy music was born. Recently hailed by Alternative Press as �one of the most important albums of 1998, Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest took the conventions of hardcore and heavy metal and turned them upside down.
When Scott Mellinger joined Zao for the following year�s Liberate te ex Inferis, it began a song-writing partnership with Weyandt that persists to this day. Self-Titled was written and recorded by Dan, Scott and Jesse Smith (the only remaining holdover from the pre-B&F days) and featured a vast amount of experimentation with electronics, dark soundscapes, and melodic interludes. �Five Year Winter� continues to be one of Zao�s most popular songs in the live setting. The trio created Parade Of Chaos together as well, pushing the envelope even further.
Zao�s first album for Ferret Music, The Funeral of God, was recorded as a five-piece with producer Eric Rachel (Atreyu, Every Time I Die). The album became Zao�s biggest selling record and saw them receive their first airplay on MTV2 and Fuse and major press accolades.
After tours with bands like Bleeding Through and Dillinger Escape Plan, the band � now Dan, Scott, Marty Lunn (bass) and Jeff Gretz (drums) � recorded The Fear Is What Keeps Us Here with Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, Neurosis) manning the reel-to-reel. Next they hit the road with In Flames, Trivium, Demon Hunter & Throwdown.
Dan, Scott, Marty and Jeff reconvened for Awake?, their first album of new material in three years. The record was produced and engineered almost entirely by Scott in Pennsylvania, with Daniel Castleman and As I Lay Dying vocalist Tim Lambesis producing drums in Southern California and handling the mixing. Longtime friend and Grammy nominated graphic designer Ryan Clark returned to handle the packaging, with some artwork from Dan�s close friend, Gabe Felice.
Zao�s latest album wants to step into your consciousness, unnerve you, make you think. Are you truly� Awake?

UK Overseas Territories
The UK Overseas Territories (UKOTs) comprise 16 former colonies that have elected to retain their direct British links and as such form part of the nation state of the UK. Mostly islands, UKOTs support critically important UK biodiversity in terms of both species and habitats. This biodiversity is under threat from habitat loss and fragmentation, invasive species, development and increasingly from the impacts of global climate change. Whilst rich in biodiversity, many UKOTs lack key resources needed to document their biodiversity and manage it sustainably.
The UK Overseas Territories Science Team was formed as a result of Kew's 2001 Science Strategy Review which recognised the importance of UKOTs, their unique UK biodiversity and the need to provide support to implement the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC). The UKOTs Science Team is a small multidisciplinary team based in the Conservation, Living Collections and Estates Directorate with strong links to the Jodrell Laboratory and Herbarium, enabling it to draw upon wide ranging expertise to undertake scientific research, support conservation, and help build capacity in the Territories. In each Territory we work in partnership with Government Departments, NGOs and Civil Society with the overall aim of enabling each UKOT to implement the GSPC.
UKOTs biodiversity
The UK Overseas Territories include some of the most remote and biologically interesting places on Earth. They support an extremely diverse variety of habitats ranging from ice fields and windswept rocky islands of the Antarctic and South Atlantic, to pristine tropical atolls, and a wide diversity of tropical forests. UKOTs have a high rate of endemism across many taxa. At least 180 endemic species of plants, including many endemic genera, 22 endemic birds, 34 endemic reptiles and amphibians, and 685 endemic terrestrial invertebrates have already been described, but there are many gaps in our knowledge of the biodiversity of these Territories.
Many UKOTs are archipelagos that include numerous uninhabited islands of great significance for biodiversity. The flora and fauna of these tiny remnants of the British Empire are a conservation priority on the global stage. Eight UKOTs are located within 'biodiversity hotspots' sensu Myers et al. 2000 (Caribbean, Mediterranean Basin and Polynesia/Micronesia). Two are World Heritage sites – Henderson Island (part of the Pitcairn group) and Gough and Inaccessible Islands (part of the Tristan da Cunha group). The British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) became the World's largest Marine Protected Area when the Chagos Marine Reserve was declared in 2010 (55 islands of the Chagos Archipelago within 454,000 km2 of pristine ocean).
Supporting UKOTs in implementing the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation
Kew's historic links with several of the islands that were to become UK Overseas Territories date back to the 18th century, when these islands were strategically important for world trade. Today, Kew's activities focus on providing botanical support and advice to catalogue and conserve their rich biodiversity.
Members of the UKOTs team play an active role in advising various UK Government Departments (Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and Department for International Development) on UKOT's plant diversity conservation and sustainable use of plant resources in the Territories, especially in respect of international legislation.
Under the framework of the GSPC Targets, Kew's UKOTs' activities draw on the varied specialisms of team members and include:
GSPC Targets 1 and 2 - online flora and conservation assessments
- Developing a UKOTs Online Herbarium by digitising and geo-referencing Kew's herbarium collections of UKOTs' plants
- Undertaking conservation assessments in order to complete a Red List for each UKOT
GSPC Target 3 - developing and sharing methods to conserve plants
- Developing protocols for propagating and cultivating UKOTs' native plants, both conventionally and under micropropagation
- Assessing genetic diversity of UKOTs' plants to inform conservation management
GSPC Target 5 - protecting important areas of plant diversity
- Botanical surveys and monitoring to support identification of Important Plant Areas within the Territories
GSPC Target 7 - in situ conservation
- Providing data to support conservation legislation
- Developing native species nurseries in Territories to produce plants for re-introduction and restoration
GSPC Target 8 - ex situ conservation
- Collecting seeds for safe storage in the Millennium Seed Bank and available for re-introduction
- Collecting UKOTs plant material (seeds and cuttings) for incorporation into Kew's living collections
GSPC Target 10 - controlling invasive species
- Identifying and monitoring introduced plants and pests within the Territories
GSPC Target 11 - plants in international trade
- Designated Scientific Authority for CITES (plants) for the British Indian Ocean Territory and the Falkland Islands
- Providing advice and training on CITES issues
GSPC Target 14 - education and awareness of plant diversity
- Displaying UKOTs' plants at Kew and highlighting plants from the Territories on Kew's website
- Public engagement within Territories about plant diversity
GSPC Target 15 - capacity building
- Sharing skills and experience with conservation organisations in the UKOTs
- Providing specific training activities
- Supporting the development of botanical infrastructure including Botanic Gardens and Herbaria
GSPC Target 16 - networks for plant conservation
- Playing an active role as a member of networks of national and international conservation organisations

: My pilot light keeps blowing out when the burner shuts off after heating the water. I have to relit the pilot every time I use the hot water. I have replaced the thermocouple and it still does not solve the problem. I can lit the pilot no problem and turn the burner on and have hot water but when the burner kicks off, POOF, there goes the pilot lit out. Can I have the gas company come look at it? I dont think it needs replacing just adjusted. Help soon because I have to get up every morning at 4AM to have a hot shower when I get up at 6PM. Im losing sleep and I dont want to buy another tank unless I really have too. Thanks!

Great price, but...tight/narrow straps
"$29.94 is a great price for a pair of wedges (at least IMHO). They're not a "steal", but cheap enough. ;) I bought the tan color pair. The straps on these wedges is what initially caught my eye. Unfortunately, I don't have thin toes, so the straps on both left and right wedges dig into my fourth toe. I apologize for TMI. Other than that, I agree they are comfy. There's a thin layer of "padding" that makes walking in them cushy. I haven't decided whether or not to keep them yet. Maybe if I tried walking around the house in them all day? Oh, and one of the reviewers did mention the cheap plastic heel cap. It's true. The rest of the (out)sole is rubber though. Hope this helps."

weird fit
"I was looking for an everyday sandal when I got these. The problem is my foot barely fit into it. I think it just might be too many straps at the front. But I can't get I bigger size because the ankle strap hovers around my ankle like a hoola-hoop. Also it has those cheap plastic heel caps."

By JAMES L. DAVISEditor, Emery County Progress
The Ferron City Council held a public hearing prior to its regular city council meeting on March 6 to hear comments on a proposal to transfer money from its water enterprise fund to the general fund to purchase property and pay architect fees for a new fire station.
At issue was a city proposal to transfer $75,000 from the water enterprise fund to purchase property for the new station and pay architecture fees. The water enterprise fund was established so that the city could purchase water shares when they became available. The fund currently has $133,503 available and during the meeting it was brought up that there have been no water shares available for purchase for the past several years. Of the $75,000 the city was looking to transfer from the fund, $30,000 would be used for the purchase of property and the remaining $45,000 would pay architecture fees.
A small group of Ferron residents gathered at city hall for the hearing where Randy Nielson, Ferron City fire chief, presented a slide show detailing the dire need for a new station. The current fire station was constructed in 1980 and is in a state of disrepair. Too small to adequately accommodate the larger fire trucks and in need of everything from new plumbing and electrical, to a new roof, bathrooms and heaters, the cost of bringing the current station up to standards would be more than $210,000. Even if the city pursued updating the current station it still faced the problem that it is too small and there is not enough land available for expansion. Purchasing additional land around the current station would prove too costly for the city, according to the city council.
The new station would cost approximately $400,000 and the funds would come from community impact board grants and loans. As Nielson took the audience through the station during the slide show no one objected to the city's need for a new station. Public comments on the station itself was more concerned with the need for the city to build a new station that would last longer than the old one. Current guidelines for the construction of fire stations calls for a fire station to be built to last longer than any other building in the city.
Plans for the new station would be to build one that would adequately house all of the city's fire equipment and allow for the fire trucks to drive through the station, rather than be backed into parking spots. With a budget of $16,500, city residents expressed concern that even if the new station was built would there be money to maintain it?
"The fire department should take precedence over the event center and the golf course. Those are luxury items, this is not," one resident said.
Concern was also raised on how the city would repay any loans granted for the fire department's construction.
Debate over whether the city should transfer the $75,000 from the water enterprise fund focused on whether it would leave enough money in the fund to purchase needed water shares if they were to become available.
During the regular city council meeting one of the agenda items was whether to go ahead with the transfer of money from the water enterprise fund to the general fund for the fire department. The city council decided to table any decision on the transferring of funds until they had time to gather more information, specifically on the operation and maintenance costs involved in a new station.
