Our boss loves the decision maker! It bounces around several times before it stops and it's fun to guess where it will land. He has already used it several times! I only wish it had a few different plates with more sayings. Would be good to switch them out every so often.

Religion and Hate: A Marriage Made in Heaven
Or again: If God be for me/us, who can be against me/us?! This statement is simply an excuse to exploit religious bigotry and hatred under the guise of salvation theology. Anyone who doubts this need only read Brad S. Gregory's Salvation at Stake: Christian Martyrdom in Modern Europe (Harvard University Press, 1999) and winner of the Thomas J. Wilson Prize of Harvard University Press. The fly cover states:
Thousands of men and women were executed for incompatible religious views in sixteenth-century Europe. The meaning and significance for those deaths are studied here comparatively for the first time, providing a compelling argument for the importance of martyrdom as both a window onto religious sensibilities and a crucial component in the formation of divergent Christian traditions and identities. … Gregory shows us the shifting perspectives of authorities willing to kill, martyrs willing to die, martyrologists eager to memorialize, and controversialists keen in dispute.
Be it in John Calvin's Geneva, Luther and Melanchthon in favor of death for the Anabaptist, the Catholic Inquisition or the killing of witches in New England; the Hebrew Bible set the precedence in the slaughter of all of God's non-chosen people in the land of Canaan.
This is followed in the New Testament where even a loving "Gentile Jesus meek and mild" states:
"Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW; and A MAN'S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. (Matthew 10: 34 - 37) and Jesus in the final stage of Salvation History is depicted riding a white horse in Revelation 19: 11 - 21 wheeling a sword to the slaughter:
"And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh." (verse 21).
Even the Ku Klux Klan's website proclaims that "Our Entire Group of Sites are Family and Christian Friendly" which is re-enforced by their own Pastor Thomas Robb of the World Church of the Creator:
A racist recognizes within their kindred people a special relationship with Jesus Christ. They recognize that race is but one aspect of living a Christian life, but such an important one that the mingling of the races, will as in the days of mingling in the scripture cause God's wrath to fall upon his children. Peace on earth for all nations and races can only come about by adhering to Biblical truth. It is we who are the compassionate ones because we understand that true satisfaction and happiness will not be felt by everyone until God's word and his edicts are felt throughout the land. Our job in the Knights' is to send a wake up call, to inform our white brothers and sisters of their rightful inheritance and to ask them to repent so that God will bless our nation once again. We want God to use us to bring a message of revival throughout the world.
With Bible courses such as: The Anglo-Saxon Jesus sold in their White Heritage Book Store, the positive side of religious hate can be made very family friendly.
Finally, to show how vicious another monotheistic religious tradition can be, this is from an August 17, '08 new paper:
A Saudi Arabian Muslim father cut out his daughter's tongue and lit her on fire upon learning that she had become a Christian.
The child became curious about Jesus Christ after she read Christian material online, the Gulf News reported.
Her father read of her Internet conversation, detached her tongue and burned her to death "following a heated debate on religion," according to an International Christian Concern report. The father is employed by the muwateen, or Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. The muwateen are police tasked by the government with enforcing religious purity. The man has been taken into custody, and his identity has not been released.
The ICC pointed out the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom has reported textbooks at the Saudi Arabian government school in Northern Virginia teach, "It is permissible for a Muslim to kill an apostate (a convert from Islam)."
Saudi Arabian oil money is used to export Wahabbism – a version of Islam said to be least tolerant toward non-Muslims – to other nations, including the U.S., ICC notes.
ICC president Jeff King said, "Saudi Arabia has to treat Christians with the same respect that it wants Muslims to be treated in other countries. It has to stop exporting hate and persecution against Christians in other countries."

Primarily playing single player, the AI is a very important element for me. It seems, however, to have taken a large step backwards in the Rebellion Beta, or as if about half the AI code was forgotten(?). The AI is buggy and often unresponsive, getting stuck in stalemates in every game I have played so far.
In every game so far, once all the planets have been colonized, the AI seems to just shut down. I have tested this from Easy to Unfair and 2v2 to 6 player FFAs. Even in a 2v2 with all the AIs on Unfair/Aggressive, they end up sitting with their entire fleet on one planet, building a starbase there, and waiting. No AI is willing to attack their neighbor so the game ends up as a boring stalemate with me being the only one doing anything. This never happened in the other versions of the game.
Once the game enters this stalemate state, the AI doesn't do anything to protect its other planets, and retreating forces stationed on them. Once, in a 3v3, one of the AIs did not stalemate like this, because it only expanded to four planets, so it stayed aggressive and attacked my ally. My ally sat there, his whole fleet (titan included) on an asteroid across the solar system doing nothing but spamming me with "It's not looking good for X" messages while half his empire was conquered by blue.
AI Capital Ships
From what I've seen so far, the AIs almost never use their capital ships for fighting. They send their frigates and cruisers to colonize a new planet while the capital ships patrol the back of their empire. This makes the AI fleets pretty easy to beat with so much of their resources in capital ships they aren't using.
It seems now that the AI doesn't care at all for their planets if I arrive with a larger fleet than them, especially if I bring a titan. The AI fleets retreat as soon as I enter the gravity well, leaving the planet wide open for me to bomb and take.
These problems, for a single player person like me, are the biggest things that need to be fixed before release.
I've found this to be true as well. I assumed it was because TEC Loyalists are so defensively oriented, but the retreating thing makes no sense. I haven't tried playing against the Rebels yet, but it looks like the same deal according to your post. What's the deal here?
Seguro que stardock ya lo sabe... deben ser errores de programacion, etc...
Yo tambien juego a un solo jugador
Yeah, the AI seems out of whack pretty badly.
fully agreed with this.
The ai will not attack the mosttime. they dont use there Capitals.
If u fight a slow fight with your titan on their planets the ai fleet will jump in, jump out, jump in, jump out...
The AI use superweapons (in my test) everytime on the same planet. regardless if there are weaker planets which can be killed with one shot.
The AI is not currently being addressed. Pinned by the devs:
In BETA 1, we're looking for feedback on the following: TEC Loyalist / Rebel balance Overall performance Graphics issues (slowness, things being drawn incorrectly) General bugs or crashes Desync issues in multiplayer
In BETA 1, we're looking for feedback on the following:
I hope you're right, I was growing concerned about this not being posted in the Known Issues post or the "UnKnown Issues " thread.
It's hard to test balance when the enemy won't fight you. Just sayin'.
Stardock is aware of the problem.
In almost every post its the same thing being complained about in regards to the AI. anyone else notice it?
Yes, That is because most people don't read past posts, or they think the problem is new.
The Sins AI annoyances are nothing new, and they have plagued the game since Original Sins 1.01. However (barring the new rebellion AI issues which Stardock is aware of and fixing) The AI is somewhat better than most games, and it has improved over time with patching. It is still no match for a human player, but what AI ever is?
I am also pretty much a SP person as well, and i would like the AI to be as good as possible under the circumstances.

Shop It Out: Spider-Man's Girlfriends
The Amazing Spider-Man made $160 million at the box office in its debut week, so it's no surprise we've got Peter Parker on the brain. The geek-turned-hero has had plenty of admirers over the years, from the well-loved Gwen Stacey (played in this reboot by Emma Stone) to the lesser-known Betty Brant. In honor of the comic-book beauties (understandably) caught in Spidey's web, we've shopped looks inspired by their styles.

Written by PETA
Every so often, there's a pro-animal story so darn cute that the webmasters of ICanHasCheezburger.com get jealous.
According to this piece in the Wrexham Leader, 11-year-old Gaby Trotter seems to have established more as an animal advocate than many adult activists can boast. She managed to research Mars' history of animal testing, set up her own Web site on the subject, and speak to school administrators about banning Mars products in her school.
I think at that age, I was busy playing video games, impressing friends and family members by eating frosted cupcakes in a single bite, and arguing with my sister. Way to raise the standard, Gaby!

FBReader: e-book reader v0.8.7a
FBReader is an excellent book reader application if you are used to read such chm books comparable to applications like gnochm or xchm.
Initially I was not that pleased with the minimalistic GUI. But after some configuration tuning and real reading I was very pleased. FBreader on my 800 is the perfect companion on travel :-)
I am in agreement with the two above comments... FBReader is a solid app that everyone should look to when building their own apps.
FBReader is an excellent 'must have' application for Internet Tablets which makes a good use of their high resolution screen. It allows you to have thousands of books in your pocket and read them conveniently at the times when you have otherwise nothing to do. I use it almost daily when getting to the office and back home on the subway.

The apartment is fairly new but above all is very well located. That Yes, if you go by car park it is difficult (the nearest underground parking costs 35€ / day).
El apartamento es bastante nuevo pero sobre todo está muy bien situado. Eso sí, si vas en coche particular aparcarlo resulta complicado (el parking subterráneo más cercano cuesta 35€/día).
Highly recommended... The Department is such which is published, silent, clean, complete, close to the Centre of the city... The only thing complicated is reached for the first time... We were very compliant! Thank you!
Sumamente recomendable.... El departamento es tal cual esta publicado, silencioso, limpio, completo, cercano al centro de la ciudad.... Lo único complicado es llegar por la primera vez...... Quedamos muy conformes! Gracias!
Very well all over the floor, quiet and appears everything showing on the web.The only drawback is the noise of the train, but you can sleep well.
Muy bien todo el piso, zona tranquila y aparece todo lo que muestran en la web. La única pega es el ruido del tren, pero se puede dormir perfectamente.
The directions were terrible - the directions as far as reaching plaza de sants were fine (helpful about the bus etc) but after that no directions were provided, and although the apartment is a mere 20m from the metro it was impossible to find without further directions (as it is tucked away, and ...the street is obscure), and the person meeting us (although a nice man) could not provide adequate directions via the phone either. It was incredibly frustrating to be honest. But eventually found the place and the contact person was very nice. Nice appartment but no toilet paper provided (! such a pain!) and there are very few dishes, all very simple and do not expect anything necessary to be found! Nice owner and comfortable stay, good location, despite the loud trains at night!
The second night I left without hot water, call the contact person and told me to wait until night, did it and was still without water. I returned him to call and told me that I would send someone the next morning, no one came and still no hot water. The two remaining days I had to shower me with ...water cold... Very bad attention. Little attention to the client.
La segunda noche me quede sin agua caliente, llame a la persona de contacto y me dijo que esperase hasta la noche, lo hice y seguía sin tener agua. Le volví a llamar y me dijo que me mandaría a alguien a la mañana siguiente, no vino nadie y seguía sin agua caliente. Los dos días restantes tuve... que ducharme con agua fria... Pésima atencion. Poca atención al cliente.
Very kind contact person, the appartment was very well located; clean and confortable
need more info on how to reach the apartment would indicate: metro station Sant
servirebbero maggiori info su come raggiungere l'appartamento , basterebbe indicare : stazione metro Sant
as expected, the apartment is clear, clean and the new building.Plaça de Sants is a nice area, very passenger, all shops available nearby and metro 50 m...Super!
comme prevu,l'appartement est clair,propre et l'immeuble neuf.Plaça de Sants est un quartier agréable,tres passager,tous commerces disponibles a proximité et metro a 50m..super!
Fire away and we'll get back to you soon!

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Ithaca's Clinton Street Bridge will soon be back in business. The heavily trafficked bridge is scheduled to re-open on Friday at 3:30 p.m.
The entire bridge had to be replaced and since April, the construction has been causing some major back-ups in downtown Ithaca.
Crews were able to finish work this month, as expected.
In a statement, Ithaca Mayor Svante Myrick said, "Upon the re-opening of the Clinton Street Bridge and Prospect Street, I officially declare 'Carmageddon' over!"
He invites residents to join him Friday afternoon in re-opening ceremony.

Intake Mods: No "Lid" versus Pods
Posted 29 May 2003 - 06:22 PM
So, for those that have ridden, tuned, or have bikes where you've tried modifying the stock airbox with something like Fast By Ferraci's lid eliminator and you've run with the K&N filter pods off of the TBs.... I'd love to hear your thoughts of the benefits and tradeoffs for both.
I am sure both work fine based on a number of people that have had either, but I wanted to try to get this info and comparison in one thread for myself and anyone else that might have the same questions and interests.
Posted 29 May 2003 - 07:19 PM
Of course I don't have any V11 feedback to offer because I had to take my bike in to the shop right after I cut the lid and I haven't even had time to change the map.
Once I get it back and play with the map I'll submit my vote...
Posted 29 May 2003 - 09:53 PM
Don't know if it's fair to make this comparison without dyno measurements and statistics. Too many variables. I do have pods on my bike, but not out of zealotry, rather just that's the first mod that came out. They, whoever they are, reported the airbox mod after I had already cut up my intakes. Still, I like it. It looks good- opens the frame up a bit, and it sounds great.
John, I like your reasoning on modifying the airbox. It makes sense- laminar flow air has much better drawing power. We use it in labs (laminar flow hoods) where we work on extra nasty bacteria and viruses. mmmmm, bacteria and viruses....
The other concern I have about pods is that they might draw in water more easily in the rain.
Jason (sorry, couldn't vote- I cant make the comparison)
Posted 30 May 2003 - 06:18 AM
But the evidence is not conclusive, just suggestive.
Theoretically I think the air box will produce more power on average throughout all the rpms, because it is a two into one system and the restriction of the filter is shared between the cylinders.
However if the total surface area of the pods is significantly more than the area of the flat filter, I would say that the pods should flow better, especially at high RPMs.
I think the ultimate set up would be two forward facing ram air boosted pods with a tuned crossover.
I went with the FBF kit because I am lazy and it works better than stock.
I like the fact that I do not have to reposition the air pressure sensor anywhere, and I don't have to do anything about the oil breather.
What do people do with the oil breather tube???
What I like about the pods is that they are easy to remove, they look slick, and they allow easy access to the shock absorber and fuel lines.
Also, in Moto Euro Magazine's article on the FBF tuned V11S, they say that Feracci says, "I can gain another 7 or 8 HP by fitting separate filters to the throttle bodies," "We are working on that as we speak"
Perhaps I should have gone with pods....
Posted 30 May 2003 - 11:04 AM
I did mods on my Sport one at a time and all the results are seat of the pants, but, I started with the shop unhooking all the pollution crap,this was done at day 1 so I'm not sure about its affect but I did ride a friend's Sport with the pollution stuff still on it and it seemed underpowered and had rough idling. I then added a power commander, then pipes and tuning the PC. This is where I started to notice a big difference as the bike ran better everywhere in the rev range. Then a K&N in the stock airbox and played with the PC settings. Seemed to want to rev even more. Next, I went to a crossover and had to really play around with the PC, especially in the upper rev range. Big difference in top end power. Made a frame and hold down clamp for the K&N and removed the airbox lid, ran lean again so adjusted PC and now it runs great from idle all the way past 8000rpm. It literally leaps out of slow speed corners and will cruise at 150kph (around 90mph) effortlessly.
I had pods on my TDM850 a few years ago and on a trip into Idaho as we were gaining altitude, the rain started turning into sleet. It was getting very cold. My bike started misfiring and running like it had dirt in the fuel. Either water was getting into the pods, which I don't think was happening, nor do some Mechanics I've talked too, or the carbs were freezing up. Carb freezing is a problem for bikes and especially Kawasakis in the UK for riders who ride all year round. I think on the TDM, as it had a large airbox, the box itself helps prevent this.
For whatever its worth though, living in the Pacifc Northwest, with the amount of rain, temperature changes thru mountain passes and the variable weather, I'm going to stay away from pods, and wouldn't they be drawing in warm air on a Guzzi anyway?

1. looks - pods looks more like a race bike and without the airbox
you get a lighter more classic italian sportbike look.
2. sound - I have a K&N on my BMW car engine. Sound great when you accelerate.
An engine runs on air (with a little petrol added), on a four-stroke
engine we would want free non-turbulent flow as possible of cold air.
(Cold air is richer in oxygen and have bigger mass per volume than warm)
I am sorry to say that a reliable freeflowing non-heated airstream is
difficult to find on a bike, so we need a compromise.
Most racebike goes for pods since it is easy to maintain and gives a
reliable free flow of air (and saves weight too).
Destroys aerodynamics (not that if makes much difference on my V11s sans
fairing). More important it is unreliable and make it hard to map the FI.
How do you simulate the effect of ramair when running in a bench mapping
you PowerCommander?
Posted 30 May 2003 - 03:57 PM
That brings up another good point. You can always go from a modded airbox to pods, but not the other way.snip....
Also, in Moto Euro Magazine's article on the FBF tuned V11S, they say that Feracci says, "I can gain another 7 or 8 HP by fitting separate filters to the throttle bodies," "We are working on that as we speak"
Perhaps I should have gone with pods....
oh- I don't think the pods need to be supported- they weigh next to nothing, and are quite stiff on my bike. If I see evidence of cracking the manifold, it's probably time to replace it anyhoo.
Posted 30 May 2003 - 06:38 PM
Victor? ...what's the deal?
Posted 30 May 2003 - 09:01 PM
First they sell us their airbox kit, then convince us that their pods are better??I'll be very interested to hear FBF's testing with pods on their project bike since they market an airbox lid eliminator, and it has seemed to work out well for them and others up to now.
Even if they have dyno runs with and without the pods it won't be definitive because with the pods you're not in a real world environment. The pods are just drawing from an even larger still air mass (the room) than with the airbox installed. Of course it'll make more power on the dyno that way...
Unless FBF runs their pod kit on a dyno in a wind tunnel we'll never know.
Ya know what I mean??
I'm not saying it's bad or wrong or any such thing to run pod filters. I'm just saying that dyno runs are an artificial environment and just because a computer says your fueling is correct on a dyno in a room doesn't neccesarily mean it'll be correct in the real world.
Posted 30 May 2003 - 09:50 PM
Hmm,The pods are just drawing from an even larger still air mass (the room) than with the airbox installed. Of course it'll make more power on the dyno that way...
Unless FBF runs their pod kit on a dyno in a wind tunnel we'll never know.
since the pods is closer to the engine they will suffer from more
from the engine heating the air around them on the bench
than in real life too.
So it will be hard to tell if pods has an advantage or disadvantage
conpared to the air box when running on the bench.
Posted 30 May 2003 - 10:05 PM
Posted 31 May 2003 - 12:27 AM
Are you talking superchargin'?Just stand next to the bike with a hair dryer
Posted 01 June 2003 - 10:11 AM
Wow,RamAir is the way to go!
that was UGLY
I wont even tell you what it reminds me of since this is a family site
Another reason not to go for ramair beside the technical doubts.
If you really need more air and are not afraid of "uglifying" your poor
Guzi why not go for turbo charging.

Are You Better Off Now Than You Were A Year Ago?
How are you coping in these economic times?
Last week we conducted a survey of small business owners and 56 percent said this quarter (Jan.-March) was better than the same quarter last year. And more than 69 percent of the 82 business owners that answered the survey said they expect business will be better in the next 12 months.
We now want to know how our other Patch readers are faring in this economy.
Please let us know by answering these four questions:
Vivian Merrill

Electric costs and car and home insurance costs are all increasing dramatically due to the bad weather last year. Gasoline costs are out of control. Food costs have increased. I noticed my tax refunds were smaller this year,even though I had less deductions, and my income stayed about the same as last year. Thank God it was a mild winter and one tank of oil was all we needed, because that cost increased 25% over last year (per tank). Go figure. For anyone that was laid off and finally was able to secure a job-it was a better year. For others who were able to hang onto what they have, it's been a struggle. For those who lost everything it can only get better. It's all in your perspective.
10:40 am on Tuesday, March 27, 2012
I personnally dont put much gas in my car, and plan my week according to when i can fill the tank...ugg...
11:38 am on Tuesday, March 27, 2012
The price of electricity and natural gas have both gone down and you can thank the government for the price of oil.
10:28 pm on Thursday, March 29, 2012
You can? Really? Our government controls the price of oil? Oy. I can't believe I have to drag the facts out again to correct someone on this. Here, have a look:
I guess you know something the WSJ and Cato Institute aren't aware of.

CommonSenseCitizen...Thank you for that link and the interesting statistics and information it provided.
(Now...about your anonymity...I always have to ask, but I confess that I like your handle and it fits)
11:56 am on Friday, April 20, 2012
I guess I was right about the government connection to the price of oil.Obama wants to win votes by using his power to bring the price down. The UN wants to stop all oil coming from Iran over insurance issues.Obama+Wall st+speculation=price per gallon.The government controls the price of oil.
11:47 am on Tuesday, March 27, 2012
I own my own business. It is a struggle every day. Each day is unpredictable. Sometime we are busy and sometimes we could have just one customer. I can see that the economy has not improved by the spending habits of my customers. It is actually reflective of the poll. Some sales are great, others charge $2. I just hope people realize the importance of shopping local, from small businesses. Small businesses give back to the community. It is a win/win situation.
Tom Christiano
3:33 pm on Tuesday, March 27, 2012
Hi Diana.
I'm sorry to read that your business is struggling, like so many others these days. Would you want to post the name and location of your business, so that those who can might stop by and give you some of their business. I wish you all the best in the future.
8:10 am on Thursday, March 29, 2012
Diane, I second Carmen's sentiments. Please post your business info. so we can consider shopping there.
Dirk Anderson
1:41 pm on Tuesday, March 27, 2012
John, if you blame the government for the increase in price of oil, shouldn't you also give it credit for the decrease in price of gas and elecricity? (ok, in truth the government has little to do with any of them)
4:05 pm on Tuesday, March 27, 2012
It's all based on speculation. There is no shortage of energy in this country but because we are not willing to drill for our own oil, we have a gun to our heads from the Arab nations. Recent reports say we have plenty of our own oil. Lets be serious,the price of oil is all about politics. We give these countries money and military support and they rub it in our face.Natural gas and electricity are not part of Opec!
8:59 am on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
John if the price of oil was all about politics then wouldn't the president make sure we were paying $2.00/gallon this year? Do you think he really wants it to be $3.75/gallon? The price of oil is the same EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD. Not just in your little part of America. You might want to turn the channel off of Fox (news?) every once in a while. When you repeat the things they come up with you sound like an idiot.
12:02 pm on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
Gee, I don't think I am an idiot but I do know the price of oil is not the same everywhere in the world and in fact is not the same from one state to the next in the US. The president cannot lower the price because he won't drill to prove to the Arabs we have our own supply.The US oil cpmpanies make new record profits every year.Trying to understand why Obama does what he does is a waist of time. Why are we still in Afganistan a year after Bin Ladins death when they dont want us there? I am not into name calling but your entire response makes you sound like .....well an idiot!
10:32 pm on Thursday, March 29, 2012
John, you're a riot. Read the link I posted above. Then come back. I'll wait.
Okay, back? Feel sheepish, right? Okay, one more just to make you really understand how little you know: The USA gets twice as much oil from Canada as it does Saudi Arabia. Go ahead. Look it up. But darnit, it's those dang arabs, right?
1:40 pm on Friday, March 30, 2012
Hey commonsensecitizen,please tell me how we know how much oil we have in the US if we don't go and look for it?As for Canada and the Arabs,I don't really care who we get it from,I want us to explore and find our own oil. Most of those oil producing nations live under the security we provide. Stick with your strenghts,insulting everyone like only you know the answers. You have it all figured out,who needs anyone else?
8:32 pm on Wednesday, October 3, 2012
Our thirst for a dirty oil supply that will only last about 1 year (3.65 billion barrels per year) is not the answer. I don't know where you get your "recent reports" but it is not according to the latest USGA survey. Cleaner energy solutions are out there. BIG OIL knows that can make the American people pay high gasoline prices because we are dependent on it!
7:44 pm on Tuesday, March 27, 2012
sounds to me like a bunch of people repudiating the policies of the current administration
7:28 am on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
$1.9 million for the new tennis courts should help the situation..
10:07 am on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
Joe, oil prices may be set at the same price around the world, but what we pay for it is certainly not the same. Europe pays quite a bit more for gasoline than we do in the U.S. and that has been going on for decades. It's a case of supply and demand wrt oil and gasoline prices.. and the truth be known is that the U.S. is not producing as much oil as it did last year, and that is the government regulation.
John Intorcio
9:08 am on Friday, March 30, 2012
Yah, no. Europe pays more because the taxes are higher - nothing to do with supply and demand.
As of February, the US became a net EXPORTER of oil products. (See: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-02-29/u-s-was-net-oil-product-exporter-in-2011.html). That is, we export more than we import. It's not about shortages.
John Pappas
5:19 pm on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
obama has said that he wants to see americans paying as much for gas as the europeans. he wants us to pay more at the pump so it will force people to adopt his green energy policies.
Andrew Sylvia
5:42 pm on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
I'd be interested to hear when exactly he said that. Doesn't sound like it'd be a very popular thing to say.
6:33 pm on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
I remember Obama saying our gasoline prices need to be more like Europes'.
BTW......Gasoline in France last week was €2.02 per liter, which is $10 a gallon.
Through reckless spending and onerous EPA regs, this is at least one campaign promise he's keeping!
Obama and Bernanke are teaming up to give stagflation another try.
Oil prices are not rising, the Dollar Is Falling.
The price of a barrel of West Texas crude in terms of gold is only 82% of its average price over the past 41 years.
Gasoline prices would have to rise by another $0.65-$0.75/gallon just to be "normal, meaning they're very likely to go up more........perhaps a lot more.
7:21 pm on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
The big difference here is most cars in Europe look like real cars (not Prii) but have the same level gas mileage, even the Jags. When you pay double but get double the gas mileage, it's really the same cost.
Also, we took two refineries offline unnecessarily which bumped the cost of oil, and we have untapped reserves we are unwilling to utilize, and we don't drill, and we don't convert things to use CNG which we have an abundance of and is considerably cheaper. I would never buy a home with oil heat after having one that uses natural gas. The price differential is nuts.
priscilla herrick`
10:52 pm on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
Yay, somebody else who remembers him saying that during his first campaign.
Dirk Anderson
9:20 pm on Thursday, March 29, 2012
It wasn't Obama that said it, but it was someone high up in his administration (I wish I could recall it off the top of my head but cannot) But people have been saying it for years. Europeans have been driving the most fuel efficient vehicles as we were driving SUVs everywhere. With the price of gas up, we have been buying much more fuel efficient vehicles and the gas usage in the US is WAY down (people not having jobs to drive to helps too)
Dan D.
2:02 pm on Friday, March 30, 2012
I believe he said that in 2008. Apparently, he still believes it. As far as the Europeans and their tiny cars and light driving: European countries are much more compact and a lot of people have access to trains, etc to get to work. We are much more spread out and need to drive longer distances to shop, work, etc. Why do we live far away (relatively speaking) from congested areas? Because WE CAN. Because a lot of people LIKE IT. Why drive bigger cars? Because a lot of people (Europeans and others also!) LIKE bigger and more comfortable cars. Enterprises, in a free country and market, build and sell things that people like. What in earth is wrong with that??? Cheap, clean fuel should be the goal, not economically unsustainable expensive luxuries like wind and solar power.
John Intorcio
2:05 pm on Friday, March 30, 2012
Dan D. - You make my point. As long as we CAN, we WILL. When our fuel prices look like Europe's, we'll learn to live closer to our jobs and drive smaller cars.

7:23 pm on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
No kidding. They're just handing it over, not the least of which is due to their desire to throw women's health back into the dark ages under the guise of religious freedom - a term which does not mean what they apparently think it means.
John Pappas
7:06 pm on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
andrew, it was a few years ago. both he and energy secretary chu said they wanted higher energy & gas prices to curb pollution and advance alternative fuels etc. if you google it you can find various articles on the subject. john
Andrew Sylvia
8:15 pm on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
Okay, that might have been what you meant, the confusion between Chu and Obama there (http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2012/03/obama-energy-chief-recants-statement-about-high-gas-prices/1#.T3OpMdVTdyU)
Vincent DiRico
8:44 pm on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
Chu gives himself high marks on gas prices, drawing criticism
Energy Secretary Steven Chu made the comment during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing in which he was asked whether he was still doing A-minus work.
"Well, the tools we have at our disposal are limited, but I would say I would give myself a little higher," he told committee Chairman Darrell Issa. "Since I became secretary of energy, I've been doing everything I can to get long-term solutions."
Chu is a true dolt, O-no is not far behind.
John Intorcio
9:12 am on Friday, March 30, 2012
It works for Europe. Europeans drive smaller cars and fewer miles than Americans. Until our fuels costs approach theirs, we won't get serious about alternative fuels and increased mileage - we'll just whine.
Joe Veno
7:33 pm on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
Brice I will say it one more time. Nobvember 2012 can't get here fast enough for me.

It's high time we get that phony, swarmy Kerry out of office, don't you think?
John Pappas
8:11 am on Thursday, March 29, 2012
it is hard to imagine that folks are better off than a year ago. inflation is around 8-9%, not the 2% the government is reporting. unemployment is closer to 15% than 8.5%. interest rates near zero which punish savers and folks on fixed incomes, public debt is out of control, trade deficit out of whack, loss of competitive edge. we tend to spend more than we make and the amount of credit card debt held by the public is staggering. taxes are going up while real estate values go down. our dollar is worth less. towns & cities from coast to coast are broke and on top of all that there is tremendous uncertainty with what is going to happen with changes to the tax code and healthcare so it is hard for businesses and people to plan ahead. if things don't change soon we could be headed for a hyperinflationary depression. ok, enough gloom & doom, have a good day everyone :-)
10:40 pm on Thursday, March 29, 2012
Clinton leaves office: Surplus, great economy.
Bush in office: two bubble economies and skyrocketing deficit.
Obama in office: recovery and job rebounds.
Don't let the facts sway you though-- you gotta have those rich folks padding their pockets in the GOP if America is to survive, am I right guy?

I am not happy with the current administration. My nerves are shattered, my 401K goes up but inflation takes away the power of every dollar we spend. Subsidized products that should not see the light of day are being propped up, under the disguise of progress. The truth is they are a disaster in progress. We're sitting on half of the worlds energy and it's banned from us. The reason they are banned is to drive-up the cost of fossil fuels in order to make subsidized products competitive. We are printing money causing inflation and devaluing the dollar. The President wants the Vets. to pay for their own health care since they are volunteers. We have the best health care in the world and he wants to destroy it. His program will cost an additional 1 to 1.6 trillion dollars more and the care we receive will be reduced dramatically. Seniors will be treated with pain killers instead of surgery. People understand that and yet they remain silent. We are sitting on natural resouces that will last for centuries yet we are not allowed to use them, instead we are to place our faith and lives in algae as an energy source. I worked too long an hard to just sit back and watch this happen to the Country I love. Yes I am miserable an upset when thinking of how many others haven't noticed what is happening to their Country. Why do we have to tolerate this crippling pain that is so unnecessary? For the first time the following generation will not have it as good as their parents had.

your right commonsense, if we could just get rid of oil gas and coal we could really move america into the future. You know, green energy like wind and solar. Those companies are doing real well these days don't you know. The only problem with that is they have not figured out how to fuel planes and cargo ships on wind and solar yet but who needs those things to run the world economy. How's the highest sustained unemployment rate since the great depression for facts. How's gas at the end of bush term at 184 a gallon and 390 now for facts. I have a boatload more fun Obama facts for you but I have to go make a living now. When you get your knuckles of the ground maybe you can come and speak to everyone like a human being.......not sure if your capable of it though. Have a great day.

I opened my store , Acorn Interiors, in Andover a year ago Dec. Not one media source ,including Patch, helped me announce my arrival. Maybe because I am not on Main St?? Acorn is Andovers newest fabric store with an on site workroom for draperies and reupholstery. I am also a Hunter Douglas dealer, the best blinds and shutters ever made. I am located at 10 Essex St across from the library. Stop by and check out my show room.

"I am reminded of an old Dutch farmer, who remarked to a companion once that it was not best to swap horses when crossing streams." --Abraham Lincoln
One party got us into the position to have to ford the rough waters to begin with; now that a different party has us on our way out I'd hate to ask the former for a lift.
2:52 pm on Wednesday, October 3, 2012
CSC - That is if you believe we are on the way out. Most economists see another recession coming early next year and that one could be worse because we have no more fat to cut in our home budgets.
My take is that we are swimming in circles in the middle of the stream without clear direction and floundering. I am not a Romney fan but he can't be as bad as Obama (can he?). I think it is time to change to a horse that will swim for shore. Either way it will be better than the unknowing we face today.

The "fiscal cliff" that looms ahead is a big issue. It will take both parties working together to get us out of this mess. But the problem didn't start with Obama, and it can't be stopped by ANY president's actions alone.
Republican ideology is what led to this issue. The biggest factors in recent years leading to this problem were the Bush tax cuts and the multiple wars that were not funded.
Meanwhile, the government under Obama has SHRUNK since he took office. The average growth rate has been -0.1% per year on average. Under GWB, the government GREW by 10% on average per year. Here's the reference:
Obama's signature health care has been accused of raising the deficit. But the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has shown that it will actually reduce the deficit, while the republicans' proposed plan would increase it by billions:
As for jobs, the wealthy don't create jobs. Demand for products creates jobs. And taxes on the wealthy are offset by salaries because they are based on profit, not revenue. In other words, for every dollar spent on salary, businesses pay a dollar less in taxes. So tax cuts for big business HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JOB CREATION.
So: why has Obama been "bad?"

CSC - I honestly believe that if the Democrats didn't waste the 2 years they controlled all of federal gov. and worked on a recovery, it would be much better today. The regulations in Obamacare and Frank-Dodd have brought the economy to a stand still (hence my going in circles).
I don't agree with the tax cuts and unfunded wars. The gov. size may be shrinking a little but it needs to shrink a lot. Salaries in the public sector are raising faster and waste is crazy. It started with Bush who was not a real conservative but someone needs to be the adult and cut the spending. The total cost in dollars for the wars is $1.2 Trillion over 12 years or $100 Billion a year. That is only (I can't believe I am typing only for billions) about 3% of the $4 Trillion dollar budget.
We also need a real budget and a balanced budget amendment.

8:47 pm on Wednesday, October 3, 2012
I've heard some whoppers told during this election, CommonSenseCitizen, but your claim that "the government under Obama has SHRUNK since he took office," is the best told thus far. Federal spending in 2009 was $3.5 trillion. Federal spending for FY 2013 is $3.8 trillion (Source: http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/total_2013USrt_13rs5n). I'm quite certain that $3.8 trillion is a greater number than $3.5 trillion. But hidden in these numbers is the fact that the 2009 budget had a one-time charge of $700 billion for TARP. This was not supposed to be reflected in the baseline for budgets in future years; however, it was. The final revised CBO numbers for the 2009 budget before TARP were $3.1 trillion. That is the number that should really be used for comparison. Either way, you're wrong.
Ron Powell
8:54 pm on Wednesday, October 3, 2012
I love FactCheck.org, but they whiffed on this one, CommonSenseCitizen. Sorry. It is unfair to characterize Obama spending as "skyrocketing," but this article from the Heritage otherwise nails the relevant facts.
5:40 pm on Wednesday, October 3, 2012
Let me dissect your rant:
1. 16 Trillion in debt. Yet republicans want to continue tax cuts to wealthy. And the cause of the debt was Republican policy. Always has been:
2. Fiscal Cliff: As I already reviewed, caused by Republican policies. And the can was kicked by the current republican house.
3. Anemic GDP: What's your point? Facts on how Obama is to blame, please.
4. Job rate falling was not due to unemployed coming off the books as you suggest. Also, Wall Street is back nearing it's high point. If that's linked to jobs, where are they? Again, I'm sinking your sounds bites with facts. Trickle down doesn't work.
5. Food Stamps: Completely false. More people hit food stamps under Bush than Obama. http://www.factcheck.org/2012/01/newts-faulty-food-stamp-claim/
6. Additional people on SSI is also due to the largest section of the US population, baby boomers, retiring. You fail to understand complete pictures.
7. Obama phones? WTF?
8. Gas prices are NEVER controlled by a president: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/01/business/gas-prices-are-out-of-any-presidents-control.html?_r=0
9. Obama bombed the embassy? Bush was president on 9/11.
10. Median Income: That's the Bush recession.
11. Under Obama, more gas exported than imported.
You're over-matched. Vote Romney if you like, but you're still wrong.
Vincent DiRico
7:45 pm on Wednesday, October 3, 2012
hmmm where to start
"Job rate falling was not due to unemployed coming off the books as you suggest."
But few things are normal in this recovery. The unemployment rate declined in August to 8.1 percent, a drop that occurred largely because 368,000 people left the labor force. The Labor Department counts only those actively seeking a job as unemployed.

Mr 0 apologized to the UN for the "video", ... skipped out on BB, ... Here is what a TRUE patriot would have told the UN after the 9/11/2012 terrorist attack (Allan West): "The future does not belong to those who attack our Embassies and Consulates and kill our Ambassadors.

As I told you before your cost of higher gasoline prices now than before ($1.85 per gallon) is very misleading. It was up over $4.00 per gallon before the President took office. You should eliminate that from your copy and paste shortcut.
Big Oil uses its enormous influence to twist policy. And as I mentioned to you before just look at who Romney has backing/financing his campaign and who he has as his energy advisor.
I said it before and I'll say it again, BIG OIL knows that can make the American people pay that amount because we are dependent on it!
You just haven't read his energy plan or don't care to. Maybe you should junk that pick-up truck you drive with the One Big ___ Mistake America bumper sticker on it take out a loan, invest in a Prius and help the economy. Better yet buy an electric model Prius.
Vincent DiRico
8:59 pm on Wednesday, October 3, 2012
the FACT is: gasoline / gal then $1.85 (at the start of Mr 0's term) more than DOUBLE that now, you do the math, it is due to Mr 0's failed energy policy, oh wait the mean old Republicans blocked it all, they caused him to fail, ... Mr 0 is NOT a leader

7:48 am on Friday, October 5, 2012
Brian, the price went up and quickly came down prior to Obama. We have had $3+ gas for more than 3 years! I remember also when it did go up under Bush it was his fault because he was an oil guy. Now the President has nothing to do with the price of oil which is wrong. He can't control it completely but he can have an impact with his policies.
10:29 pm on Wednesday, October 3, 2012
Question: where does gasoline come from? The atmosphere? The solar system?
You keep dreaming about that $1.85 per gallon gasoline and vote for Romney. You go dream about drilling for only a years supply of oil bringing the price down. Talk to me in four years when the price is even more. And it is not due to the Presidents energy policy. That statement tells me that you have no clue about energy.
You think that a President that is financed by BIG OIL is going to bring the price of gasoline down? You think that a President that has a BIG OIL energy advisor is going to bring down the cost of gasoline?
That sounds like a great plan for energy independence.
Again, your idea that the President is the reason for the rise in gasoline prices in silly. You want to ignore all the alternative energy sources and whine about the cost of gasoline. Go support alternative energy resources then. Don't blame the President for BIG OIL making record profits.
Vincent DiRico
10:35 pm on Wednesday, October 3, 2012
the answer is natural gas and coal, cheap energy is what this country was built on and needed for future success, proven energy sources, not pie in the sky, reality!
tonight I learned a new stat for my cut/paste FACTS
- oil subsidies $2.8 billion green energy $90 billion and yet my car, home, ... all still run on dirty/cheap gasoline/natural gas/coal
$90 billion and 1/2 of the companies Mr 0 bet on have gone (or are going) belly up, priceless!
9:53 pm on Thursday, October 4, 2012
One thing I've learned Mr. V is that you shouldn't believe the hot air that comes from your savior. Your assumption that Mitts 1/2 the companies have failed is wrong
But hey like I've said before. Keep on throwing it against the wall and some gullible person will believe you. What's Mitt's plan? Thats right, returning to 19th century fossil fuels. Good plan for BIG OIL but not America.

If all you can latch onto is the 1/2 quote then you really have nothing, just like the "green energy" running your house, car, ... NOTHING. The full quote is below.
He said that "these businesses, many of them have gone out of business, I think about half of them, of the ones have been invested in have gone out of business,"a number of them happened to be owned by people who were contributors to your campaigns."

Maybe the 1/2 comment was measured in a different way than 1/2 of the $90 billion, I do not know. What is clear:
1) the federal government should not be handing out $ to it's friends
2) all the green jobs promises have not materialized (like most of Mr 0 promises both financial and promises totally under his control, transparency, bringing both sides together, ...)
3) Mr 0 has failed at all levels and was scolded for it the other night ;)

get on board or get run over
A true leader takes all this information and formulates an energy policy based in REALITY, if the technology does not produce usable energy then it remains in the lab until it does and it is cost effective, until then the PROVEN resources get priority.
1:51 pm on Friday, October 5, 2012
Let me get this straight. You are saying solar and wind do "not produce usable energy" so "then it remains in the lab until it does and it is cost effective"? And because it is not a proven alternative energy sources we should not invest in them?
"Until then the PROVEN resources get priority" - meaning dirty oil and natural gas?
"the federal government should not be handing out $ to it's friends" but yet you want to elect someone who's friends are BIG OIL making record profits who will keep giving them $?
If that is your platfrom then vote for Mitt because that's the shoe that fits.
I got news for you. Incase "you" haven't noticed, a majority of country is moving towards "green" energy resources, renewable energy and energy savings.
But if you want to remain with the old and your "proven" energy sources, you too may become a dinosaur.
Wait, wait did you just comment my "car, home,.....all still run on dirty/cheap gasoline"? But yet you are complaining about the cost of gasoline! HAHAHAHA. I'm surprised you didn't say "clean".
Mitt: "Yes let's invest only in proven energy resources like coal, oil and natural gas because clean air, water and a persons health are not important"
Investing in proven clean alternative energy resources are not a failed policy in my opinion.
Vincent DiRico

yup, pass me a glass of dirty water while you are at it.
11:52 pm on Friday, October 5, 2012
That's all you got? You claim to say you care about where your tax money goes?
All while Romney continues to endorse proposals that maintain billions in handouts from the American taxpayer to oil executives like his adviser Hamm, he refuses to support tax credits for the growing clean energy industry, which provides thousands to workers around the country, without the costs to public health and the environment.
Take a look at the Ryan budget Romney supports.
You look at the stat of $1.85 and say "It's Mr 0's fault" But you really didn't do any research as to why except to blame the current President. Did you blame the last President too when the prices rose? My guess is not. You probably placed the blame on the Middle East.
Put this in your "stats"
Romney supports Ryan's proposed FY 2013 budget resolution which would retain a decade's worth of oil tax breaks worth $40 billion to BIG OIL
ExxonMobil paid an effective federal tax rate of 18 percent in 2010. The average family's effective federal rate is 21 percent.
The FY 2013 budget proposal includes cuts in energy programs. And it explicitly calls for ending investments in programs that promote emerging technologies.
Vincent DiRico
11:59 pm on Friday, October 5, 2012
You don't listen/learn, so ya that is all I got, you spout dem talking points as if Mr 0 was not in office for the past 4 years, ... your quarter is up.
12:48 am on Saturday, October 6, 2012
Thats what I thought.
Same old GOP rhetoric that has now reduced to name calling again for the Presidents energy policies. Fact is I do LISTEN to intellect sources about the world we live in. Some people just need to stop living in their own bubble and think about the greater picture.
You can't see the future because of all that smog from your "proven" energy resources. In case you haven't noticed outside your bubble, the consequences of "your proven energy resources" six of the last eight years were the hottest on record. Polar ice and glaciers are disappearing, sea levels are rising, coral reefs are suffering, plant and animal species are disappearing. And the wilderness areas and wildlife that prior presidents have worked so effectively to protect for more than a century are being threatened and lost.
So what I have LEARNED is that energy polices like the one that Romney supports is not one that I would support.
You did say you were willing to "frack" for natural gas in your backyard didn't you?
You would then have your dirty water. You might even be able to have it as your flaming shot.

10:46 pm on Wednesday, October 3, 2012
Coal. That is a good one too. Do you even know what the latest is in coal mining?
Obviously not. Mountaintop removal is. And that is what MITT supports. Mining companies clear-cut forests and then blow the tops off mountains to get the coal. They then dump millions of tons of waste into the valleys below — permanently burying streams, poisoning drinking water, and increasing the risk of flooding.
But who needs clean air and water. Let's not even get into the health effects of your so called alternative energy coal. But I forgot you want to drill and frack for natural gas in your backyard. Silly me.

Ron Powell
1:17 am on Saturday, October 6, 2012
It's a lot easier to talk about what other people ought to do, isn't it Brian? It's a lot harder to do it yourself. And this is the problem that I have with the self-contradicting Left. I drive an electric car and I live in a solar powered house; you live in a house that is almost certainly powered in part by the coal obtained from mountaintop removal, and you are driving your gas-powered car. So which is worse? Defending coal, or pretending to oppose it while being part of the very system that perpetuates the problem?
I don't mean to single you out, Brian. I once knew a co-worker at a bank, let's call him Marty. He, too, spoke volubly about how evil Republicans are because they are rich and destroying the environment. Said Marty, living in an energy wasting house, driving a gas-guzzling SUV, working for a bank that has cheated millions from the middle class over the years. In short, a fake, a fraud, a pretender. Just like you.
And this is the problem that I have with the Left. It moralizes about what is right, but it is really just a masquerade for statism. It has no intention of living by what it professes, and it really just wants to get someone to get someone else to live by an ideal that itself is not prepared to live by.
9:15 am on Saturday, October 6, 2012
It is too bad Ron that unfortunately you make assumptions about a person you don't know. Because if you did you wouldn't have said that I masquerade.
I commend you for driving an electric car such as our family and living in a solar powered house.
I agree that one should practice what they preach. I also think that one shouldn't necessarily make assumptions about someone they don't know.
10:38 pm on Monday, October 8, 2012
and one more thing Mr. Ron since I didn't get to finish the other day. You assume too much. Calling me a fraud, a fake a pretender. Yes my home may not be solar powered like yours but I do pay REC's. Maybe you have never heard of the program. Of all people to pass judgment on someone. Not directed at you but it is too bad that many Republicans pretend to care about the environment in which we live in. When we know for a fact that actions speak louder than words.
10:54 pm on Wednesday, October 3, 2012
But hey, keep throwing that misleading stat of higher gasoline prices and blaming it on the President out there. Like a good politician, you keep repeating yourself and someone is likely to believe you.
12:25 pm on Friday, October 5, 2012
So it's "misleading" for you when we state the fact that gas is 100% higher today than when Obama took office? Or is it "misleading" for you when we say, the Presidents policies have an affect on gas prices?
Both are true. Look at the value of the dollar as the Fed continues to print money! You think that has no affect on prices of everything? Where do we get most of our oil? Canada! The Canadian dollar is now $1.02 American. Not too long ago it was $1.18 Canadian for $1 US.

I am definitely NOT better off than I was 4 years ago. I do agree that Bush made of mess of things his last 4 years, but Obama has blamed Bush long enough. I didn't vote for O the last election and definitely will not be voting for his this time.
I am a middle-class independent\conservative and have voted republican since the Reagan years with the exception of Clinton for a 2nd term. I Vote the Person not the Party.
Do hard working people need a safety net?…Yes. But unlike the old America when people worked hard to get back to work, too many people are satisfied sitting back and collecting. If Obama is re-elected this will continue and we will never recover. There has to be some incentives for companies to hire and for people who want to go back to work, to be able to do so. I think Romney will do both.
Is Romney the answer? Don't know, but I do know, Obama is not! Obama is trying to win the election by portraying people that disagree with his policies are racist; and the worst of it is, people are buying into that? He is also creating class warfare by referring to the "millionaires & billionaires" as if they were evil. Yes, Romney is a millionaire but so is Obama!
If people want a change in president you can't sit back and not vote! Yes, we are busy and working all day but I'm sure a few minutes can be found to make it to the polls. I can guarantee you that the Obama supporters will make it out to vote.

Get used to being not better off for a long time. We have lived high off the hog for too long in personal and Government debt, with an economically unsustainable level of Government services at all levels. Wait until double digit inflation hits all in about 40 months, regardless of who gets elected. The current economic strategies from both sides, be it trickle down or Laffer curve or stimuli are irrelevant and bound to fail in our world wide, 24/7 economy.
It will take one generation, about 30 years, until the average standard of living improves for at least 80% of the populace. So make sure your belt has additional notches.

Marry Me, Murder – Victimology (CD Review)
Sunday, April 1st, 2012Genres: Deathcore, Hardcore, Metalcore
Label: Independent
Format: CD (Physical Promo)
Marry Me, Murder are a local band, who some will remember were one of the bands at the first Funeral Rain Records show. They have since gone on to press some merch and record themselves an ep proper. Five tracks of MMM's brand of death influenced hardcore is something I've been hoping to hear ever since I saw them live. I wondered if they would be able to pull off their show in a studio, and it would seem that they did.
The heavy Killswitch Engage/Sepultura/Alexisonfire style riffage that I loved from these guys is in full force. Vocals are pretty varied, from death growls to clean singing. I just wish I could remember which dude is Dion and which is Rick! Drums and bass are solid, with some gorgeous snap on the snare, but I would have personally brought the bass up just a bit in the mix, or even just turned the mids up a bit more on the amp.
In all, this is a great first EP. Now if only the band credits were present on it…
7.5 out of 10.

Richard A. Schmidt, PhD, heads his own consulting firm, Human Performance Research, in Marina del Rey, California, where he researches issues in human performance, human factors, and ergonomics. He is also a professor emeritus of psychology at the University of California at Los Angeles. Known as one of the research leaders in motor behavior, Dr. Schmidt has 35 years of experience and has published widely in his field.
The originator of schema theory, Dr. Schmidt founded the Journal of Motor Behavior and was its editor for 11 years. He authored the first edition of Motor Control and Learning in 1982 and Motor Learning and Performance in 1991, and he has since followed up with new editions of both books.
Dr. Schmidt is a member of the North American Society for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity (NASPSPA), the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, and the Psychonomic Society. He has received honorary doctorates from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium and Université Joseph Fourier in France for contributions to his research field. Dr. Schmidt has served as president of NASPSPA, and he received the C.H. McCloy Research Lectureship from the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance.
Craig A. Wrisberg, PhD, is a professor of sport psychology at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, where he has taught since 1977. During the past 30 years Wrisberg has published more than 90 refereed research articles and book chapters on the topics of anticipation and timing in performance, knowledge of results and motor learning, and the role of cognitive strategies in sport performance. His book Skill Instruction for Coaches is one of the volumes included in the American Sport Education Program (ASEP) Silver Level sport science curriculum. He earned his PhD with a specialization in motor learning from the University of Michigan and has focused his teaching, research, mentoring, and consulting in the field of applied motor learning and sport psychology.
A former president of both the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) and the North American Society for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity, Wrisberg is a fellow of AASP as well as the American Academy of Kinesiology and Physical Education. In 1982 he received the Brady Award for Excellence in Teaching, and in 1994 the Chancellor's Award for Research and Creative Achievement, both from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.
In addition to his teaching and research, Wrisberg provides performance consulting for college and professional athletes in a variety of sports. In his work with athletes, he applies many of the concepts and principles covered in this edition of Motor Learning and Performance using the situation-based learning approach on a consistent basis.
"The writing style is easy to read, and it clearly translates technical information into a reader-friendly format. These authors are skilled at describing the "need-to-know" parts of the research to reinforce their points."
