The CMLL press event had the expected amount of news. CMLL Gaceta has the only wrap up I've seen, though a lot was mentioned back on Twitter
- Infierno en el Ring was officially announced for 07/19. That's a week later than earlier speculation. The ten men in the cage match are the ten men you'd expect: Shocker, Rush, Máximo, Blue Panther, Super Porky, Negro Casas, Averno, Mr. Águila, Rey Escorpión, Rey Bucanero. Averno and Blue Panther were the last to sign (among the people who actually showed up, no Brazo de Plata), both challenging each to another apuesta match should they survive this one. That match would be a one fall submission match with
no ropesno ropes break, and is unlikely to actually happen no matter what goes on here. Mr.
- A 35th Blue Panther Anniversary show will be held on 08/16. The main event is Blue Panther, Atlantis and Negro Casas vs Solar, Negro Navarro and Black Terry. That should be outstanding.
- Marco Corleone announced his knee injury was not as severe as previously reported, and he'll be back in August. That's way ahead of the initial schedule. He also said that any enemy of Rush is an enemy of himself and Maximo.
- More En Busca de un Idolo shuffling. Shocker and Rush argued about who was running the tecnico team. Mr. Niebla takes over for Terrible with the rudos (just Vangelis.) Like last year, all the participants will come back for a cibernetico after the tournament, on 07/26. There was no mention of any prize for the winner.
- Taichi starts on 07/26, and the CMLL travels to Japan (REINA, NJPW) were mentioned.
Ray Mendoza Jr. also held a press conference for his show on the 20th. Not much news on that one. There's CMLL luchadors all over the lineup, but they none appeared at the press conference. Hijo de Pirata Morgan challenged V5 to a hair vs hair match, and V5 said no.
In his weekly Record column, El Hijo del Santo explains he was hurt so much by LA Park's martinete, he had surgery – to his intestines, because of the pressure the move put on his abdominal region. Riiiiight. This sounds like Santo previously had surgery scheduled and decided to weave into this match. He'll be out for 45 days.
AAA sent out an interview with Nino Hamburguesa talking about Sunday's match in Ecatepec as his TV debut match. It's not his TV debut match; he wrestled in the opener of the March 3rd San Luis Potosi Sin Limite taping, which eventually aired on Fusion. This Sunday's match in Ecatepec is also an opener and may also end up on Fusion or not aired at all.
NJPW's Kizuna Road iPPV is tomorrow morning. It's starting at 4:30 am Central Time, with the CMLL Tag Team Title match taking place around 6am. I think I'm watching this live.
This week's Tercera Caida was filmed before a live audience in Arena Queretaro, with the American Wolves and promotes Carlos Maynes. DTU's 4 show weekend tour starts tonight in that building and will eventually air on TVC Deportes.
Mascara Dorada & Sagrado beat Mr. Aguila & Mephisto in Cuautlancingo, Puebla on a show sponsored by local political candidates.
Bill has highlights of 07/19/12 IWRG.

Expert Advice
PREMIERE ORLANDO: How to Create a Customized Side Part For Men
In TIGI's "A Gentleman's Consideration: Clipper Cutting Class" at Premiere Orlando 2013, class members got a taste of what's popular and current in men's cuts. According to TIGI, today's modern man has legitimate grooming concerns. Attention to personal detail gains him an individual identity. Develping a specified and discerning approach to men's work is essential in today's salon environment. The technical presentation of today covered clippers, and detailed shear instruction.
One of the highlights of the class was how to create a customized side part in a male client's cut. It was a popular topic, in which everyone crowded around to take a peek. With any client that you are working on, this is one of the final steps you take to detail and add character to their hair. The first step, is to move the hair out of the way (if there's longer hair on top) with a comb. Then, determine how wide you want your side part to be. (There should be a natural parting line between your client's hair you are holding out of the way and the hair underneath, this is where you want to do your side part.) Then, with the tip of your clipper you gently tap against the head. If you want to widen it then you gently move the clipper up and down.
So, what about re-growth? It should grow back in about 1-2 weeks (men's hair grows pretty fast). This is a good thing though, because if your client really likes the side part look you gave him, he's going to come back to get a touch up!

The CSS3 trend is getting more and more popular. In fact CSS3 new features open a lot of new possibilities. Check out my previous post on "CSS3 Animation Demos" to see the things that you can do with it. However, don't get too excited so soon because it is not fully supported by all browsers yet. But this doesn't mean you shouldn't use it at all. So, when should you use CSS3 new features? Well, continue on this post to see some excellent examples.
CSS3 As Enhancement
Emboss-Looking Text
Notice how Analog use a 1 pixel text shadow to make the text look embossed? The image in the green circle is captured with a
text-shadow supported browser and the image in the red circle is captured with a unsupported browser.
Subtle Rounded Corners and Shadow
Colly uses
border-radius and
box-shadow to beautify the layout boxes with rounded corners and subtle shadow. If CSS3 is not supported, it will show rectangle boxes which you can barely notice the difference.
Rolling DVDs
This site uses the
webkit-transform property to make the DVD roll out on mouseover. Users with a webkit browser such as Safari or Chrome will see the spinning animation. Users with Firefox will see the disc pop out. Users with browser that doesn't support this feature will see the static DVD image.
Fading Transition
To see this effect: scroll down until the top search bar overlap the content, hover over the top bar, and you will see the semi-transparent background slowly fade into opaque (see it with a webkit browser).
Rounded Corners
Users with a
border-radius supported browser will see rounded corners on the Future of Web Design site.
Subtle Text Shadow
SquareSpace enhances their blog title by appling a light shadow which you can barely notice.
When Should You Use CSS3?
No: Rotating Images With CSS3
Be careful if you are applying border on rotated images. The border may cause jittering result.
Yes: Export Rotated Image Instead
To avoid the jittering effect, use Photoshop to rotate the image first and then apply the CSS transformation as seen on the Chirp site.
Yes: Rotating One Large Image
The rotating earth image is a very nice touch on the 404 page of FOWD (see it with a webkit browser).
No: Rotating Multiple Large Images
However, don't go crazy with rotating multiple large images because it might look choppy.
No: Relying on CSS3
Everything looks fine if you are viewing Ryan Merrill's site with a webkit browser. But check it again with a different browser such as Flock. Wow, what happened? Everything breaks down. The font is not displaying right and the call to action box disappeared. So, be very careful if you are relying on HTML5 and CSS3 to do your layout.
Yes: Find Fonts With Similar Width as Alternatives
If you are using custom fonts, don't forget to include web-safe fonts with similar width as alternatives. Bobulate is a good example. She uses Georgia as her alternative font which has similar width and x-height of the custom font Skolar.
- Don't rely on CSS3 to do your layout. They should only be used as enhancement.
- Ensure your layout doesn't look extremely different when CSS3 features are not supported.
- When using @font-face feature, always include web-safe fonts with similar width, kerning, and x-height for backup.

Good lessons you provide. The best is still to mark every browsers: webkit, moz etc
Realizing the cross platform compatibility, web developer today still needs some images and flash or other web apps to do the job. HTML5 and CSS3 will only have FREEDOM if we sill dump old computers.
hello dear this stuff is very usefull for me
Good post !! Very useful to my projects … Thanks

Michael Ignatieff plans to whip his caucus to vote against a controversial Conservative bill to abolish the long-gun registry. MPs who do not vote with him will be punished.
Usually, MPs are allowed to vote their conscience on private member's bills but this one is different – it has caused much consternation and embarrassment for the Liberals.
"Let me be perfectly clear: the Liberal Party opposes the Conservatives' effort to scrap the gun registry altogether and we will vote against the Hoeppner bill a third reading in the House of Commons," the Liberal Leader told the Canadian Police Association today at their annual general meeting in Ottawa.
It's a sad state, when individual MP's vote with their constituents in mind, and yet that expression reflects poorly on the leader, but that's the reality at the moment. I've argued for more free votes, and defended recent dissent, but there is a cumultative effect taking hold here that risks hurting the Liberals chances, and more succinctly, weakening the leader. You like to look at things on a case by case basis in politics, and in this case, strong resolve from Ignatieff is required to blunt a worrying trendline. One almost every recent vote, whether overtly or the "whispers", Ignatieff seems to have a perceived problem keeping his caucus together. This is being perceived as dissatisfaction or lack of compelling leadership, and because of this perception, he best nip it straight off.
The Liberal policy is to support the gun registry, and Ignatieff has offered some mostly toothless amendments to appease detractors. If these MP's vote against, then the gun registry dies and Ignatieff will face another round of questionings. The last polling I saw, showed solid overall support for abolishing, and support wasn't exactly strong, even with Liberal supporters. However, at this date and time, the arguments are irrelevant, if the braintrust upholds this policy, people have to fall in line, on the "greater good" front.
I hate the whip, but given the obvious backlash that will come, I say giver a good crack this one time Michael.

I knew Shia LaBeouf had been spotted around Chicago multiple times over the last few days, but I couldn't figure out why exactly the "Transformers" and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" star was here – that is until I happened to pass by him on my way home late Wednesday night.
LaBeouf came walking out of the alley between the City Soles store and the now closed Skewerz restaurant in Wicker Park. What he was doing in there, I'm not sure. But there was a smaller than usual film crew and a single police officer facing him across the street, outside of Glazed & Infused doughnut shop.
LaBeouf was there to film "The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman," according a young woman holding a walkie-talkie. Apparently he's been linked to the film since 2010 and will play a character who falls for the same woman a violent crime boss has fallen for, but he refuses to back off.
The 26-year-old actor, who filmed "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" in Chicago in 2010, spent much of the time sitting on the front step leading up to an apartment next to City Soles. There was no security next to him. It was just him holding what looked like a bottle in a paper bag sitting alone.
On Sunday, LaBeouf was spotted talking to musicians and hanging out on the dance floor at Underground Wonder Bar. He stopped by Haberdash Men's Shop, also in River North, Tuesday but did not purchase anything.
Heads up: Rapper Pitbull will take part in an autograph signing July 27 at the Walgreens flagship store (151 N State Street). "Mr. 305" will be promoting his Voli Vokda line. … The first 500 fans who arrive to Kirlin's Hallmark in Wheaton July 30 wearing Hallmark Text Bands, which allow you to send text by simply bumpin fists with another person, will get to meet pop star Cody Simpson. ... NASCAR star Kyle Busch will be on hand Friday at the House of Blues for a press conference announcing NASCAR Contenders Live, an interactive fan event taking place September 12 at the House of Blues that will include the final 12 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Contenders.

Oceans cover more than 70% of our planet. They include some of the most fragile ecosystems and species on Earth, but are continuously abused. More than 60% of the human population now lives on or near a coastline and 80% of tourism is concentrated in coastal areas. Exploited by over-fishing and subjected to pollution and oil and gas extraction, marine resources have been seriously affected in many regions.
One of the most effective means for protecting marine and coastal biodiversity is through the establishment and proper management of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).
IUCN's definition of a Marine Protected Area is: "Any area of intertidal or sub-tidal terrain, together with its overlying water and associated flora, fauna, historical and cultural features, which has been reserved by law or other effective means to protect part or all of the enclosed environment," (Kelleher, 1999). Marine Protected Areas cover many different types of protection. Some are "no-take zones" that are essential to enable fish stocks to recover while others allow multiple use of their resources.
MPAs protect key ecosystems such as coral reefs. Not only do they act as safe breeding grounds for fish, they also generate tourism, which in turn brings jobs. Unfortunately, most tourism revenues are held by big companies with little benefit going to the local population. Creating more Community Managed MPAs would enhance the flow of benefits to local people.
More than 90% of the world's carbon dioxide is stored in the oceans, and they remove 30% of the carbon dioxide released to the atmosphere. MPAs, which often encompass 'barrier' ecosystems such as coral reefs or mangroves, can also reduce the impact of damage from natural disasters such as hurricanes. Waves are slowed by the reefs while mangroves are effective windbreaks that reduce soil erosion. Examining the destruction caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, there was ample evidence that in areas with healthy coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, the human population was protected and the impact of the disaster reduced. Mangroves also absorb pollutants and act as a natural water filter, preventing many pollutants from reaching the sea.
Close to 25% of fishing in developing countries is carried out near a coral reef and more than 70% of the world's fisheries are in danger. Studies have shown that the knock-on effect of "no take" marine protected areas, not only doubles the amount of fish but also their size in a very short period of time. MPAs including in the High Seas, are key to replenishing biodiversity and nourishing the growing human population. They also serve as nurseries for key threatened species including whales and turtles whilst protecting a variety of marine ecosystems and the rich biodiversity they sustain.
But despite the important role of MPAs for biodiversity conservation and sustainable development, only 1% of the ocean is protected. The goal of the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development and of the Convention on Biological Diversity of establishing a global, representative system of MPAs by 2012 is far from being met. Protected Area managers face a wide range of challenges, from lack of governmental funding and support, to antagonism from local communities. With good communication and awareness programmes, this trend could be reversed. Involving the local population in the protection of marine protected areas would help generate sustainable livelihoods through revenue from fishing and tourism.
An effective MPA system is needed to ensure that the oceans recuperate, continue to store carbon dioxide, that fish stocks recover and that coastlines are protected from harsh climatic conditions. It is no longer a technical question but a matter of survival for the planet and humankind.

Exercise has long been touted as an essential aspect of a healthy lifestyle, so it shouldn't surprise you to hear that if you don't exercise, you should start.
What may surprise you, however, is the astounding effect exercise can have during your golden years. Beyond helping you keep in shape, exercise can reverse the effects of aging on your body and fight brain decline.
Sound too good to be true? Worry not – research backs up these claims.
Reverse physical aging
As you entered your thirties or forties, you might have noticed that your energy became depleted earlier in the day and that it was harder to keep your weight steady. Generally, time only exacerbates these changes.
"Even the most athletically fit cannot escape these changes," the National Institute on Aging said. "Take marathon runners, for example. An NIA-funded study found that their record times increased with age — aging literally slowed down the runners."
At its most basic level, aging changes your cells. For example, lung tissue loses elasticity and rib cage muscles shrink, so the amount of air you inhale in a breath decreases. Your gut produces fewer digestive enzymes, making it difficult to absorb nutrients. Your heart's blood vessels accumulate fatty deposits.
Enough of the bad news. The good news is you can fight the breakdown.
For example, researchers found that high-intensity interval training can slow the decline of aging. Also called HIIT, this type of training involves doing a workout that goes back and forth between intense exercise and recovery periods.
Study participants did both HIIT workouts and resistance training — working out with weights — for 12 weeks, and researchers said HIIT was the workout that made the biggest difference to aerobic capacity and cells in the muscles.
Before being scared away by the words "high intensity," consider all the workouts you can do. For example, one workout designed for seniors involves running and walking on a treadmill in this pattern:
- Work interval: 20-second sprint
- Rest interval: 90-second walk
- Repeat 4-6 times
- Cool down: 5-minute walk
If running isn't your thing, incorporate the same pattern of exercise and rest in any activity you like such as swimming, cycling, weightlifting and so on.
Fight brain decline
Perhaps the idea that exercise can reverse aging's physical effects makes sense, but understanding how it strengthens brain function is a little harder to grasp. Well, here's the scoop.
Multiple studies have found that physical activity, particularly aerobic exercise, enhances cognitive function. That means that exercise helps with activities in the brain including memory, attention span, language skills, logic and reasoning. These studies show exercise has "substantial benefits" according to an article published in Psychological Science in the Public Interest journal.
Exercise isn't the only way to fight cognitive decline. Socializing and cognitive activities like doing puzzles or learning a language can also help. Still, "physical activity has the most support as protective against the deleterious effects of age on health and cognition" according to an article in the Journal of Aging Research.
These deleterious, or harmful, effects include more than just occasional forgetfulness. Physical activity can help prevent dementia and Alzheimer's disease in people who are 65 or older, according to research in the Annals of Internal Medicine journal.
All 1,740 participants were cognitively intact at the beginning of the study. After six years, the people who exercised at least three times per week had a lower rate of dementia than those who exercised less.
"These results suggest that regular exercise is associated with a delay in onset of dementia and Alzheimer disease, further supporting its value for elderly persons," the researchers write.
Get started
As research shows, there is every reason you should exercise, even if you never have before. Don't let common myths about exercise — such as exercise not being safe — get in your way. Talk to your doctor to get a plan together and hit the gym (or the pool, or the track) today!

The sons of a former Fort Detrick scientist who fell to his death from a New York City hotel window under mysterious circumstances are suing the federal government, claiming their father was murdered.
Nils and Eric Olson filed suit Wednesday in U.S. District Court, seeking unspecified monetary damages in the death of Frank Olson, a former civilian bioweapons scientist involved in then-top-secret CIA experiments at Detrick. They are also seeking access to CIA documents related to his death, which they say have been withheld from the family for nearly 60 years.
Olson died Nov. 28, 1953, after falling from the 10th floor of the Statler Hotel. The agency told Olson's family he was in New York to receive psychiatric treatment because he might pose a danger to them, according to the 22-page complaint filed by attorney Scott D. Gilbert.
Just four days before his death, Olson was given LSD without his knowledge while at a conference at Deep Creek Lake. The administering of the drug to Olson and others is believed to be part of a series of secret programs conducted in the '50s and '60s. The programs involved experiments with biological warfare and mind control that included giving LSD and other drugs to often unwitting subjects. Many of the secret programs were exposed in 1975 and 1976 by a congressional committee delving into activities by the United States' intelligence services. Olson was part of a program called MK-ULTRA.
While the CIA concluded that Olson's death was directly related to the LSD experiment, the agency has long maintained Olson jumped to his death.
Olson was sharing a room with Dr. Robert Lashbrook, who was ordered to put the LSD in a bottle of liquor from which Olson and others drank at the Deep Creek Lake conference. According to the complaint, Lashbrook called his superiors instead of police after Olson fell from the window and later gave conflicting accounts of what happened that morning.
The circumstances of Olson's death closely resemble techniques put forth in a CIA manual that same year for conducting secret assassinations, the complaint alleges. The manual suggests that a fall from at least 75 feet after a blow to the temple with a blunt object is an effective technique for carrying out such a killing. It also states that alcohol can be used to prepare the victim for the contrived accident. The complaint states that Olson and Lashbrook each had two martinis before going to bed the night before Olson's death.
The plaintiffs allege that Olson was struck in the head before his death, and that the injury was covered up by the CIA, which insisted on a closed-casket funeral, telling the family that Olson's body was badly disfigured.
According to the complaint, Olson expressed reservations about some of the activities in which he was involved — including violent interrogations during which prisoners were killed with biological agents he had developed — and had expressed his desire to resign. His superiors began to view him as a potential threat to national security, the plaintiffs allege.
The family received a $750,000 settlement from the government in 1975, as well as documents pertaining to Olson's death. But the family believes there are more documents that have remained hidden.
The CIA and disclosures
Leonard Latkovski, a professor of history at Hood College, said agencies like the CIA have a history of withholding documents like those being sought by the Olson family. He said officials often use parsed language to suggest they could not find more documents, but not that they don't exist, and that those released typically tell only part of the story.
"The pattern of agencies like the CIA is to give you things in bits and pieces," Latkovski said. "When they say they're releasing everything they have or the complete file, that's not true. I don't know that there are really any cases where it's been true."
Agencies have also been known to destroy documents that could implicate them or their employees in wrongdoing, he said. Former CIA Director Richard Helms ordered the destruction of files about the agency's drug experiments, and he also destroyed his own files, according to Helms' 1979 biography, "The Man Who Kept the Secrets," by Thomas Powers.
Latkovski said there is a larger issue at stake in the Olsons' lawsuit: the idea that government officials should be accountable to the citizens it purports to serve.
"If we are really a democracy, then individuals in the government who serve the people should be held accountable for their wrongdoing," he said.
An author's opinion
Hank Albarelli Jr., author of the 2009 book "A Terrible Mistake: The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA's Secret Cold War Experiments," said he isn't sure what the brothers and their attorney hope to gain from another lawsuit.
"I was kind of surprised, and my first thought was 'déjà vu all over again,'" said Albarelli, who believes Olson crashed through the window during a struggle with Lashbrook. He said Lashbrook was trying to take Olson against his will to a mental hospital.
Albarelli believes Olson, who he said had started to talk about his work to unauthorized people, was given the LSD in an attempt to interrogate him based on the belief that he was a threat.
But the major players, including Lashbrook and program supervisor Sidney Gottlieb, are dead and any incriminating documents have probably been destroyed, Albarelli said, making a successful lawsuit seem unlikely.
"It's late in the game for a suit," he said. "Where can a lawsuit go? How do you build a case?"
Albarelli said he believes the release of his book helped spur the decision to sue.
"I don't see where you would have any case without it," said Albarelli, who interviewed Lashbrook and Gottlieb.
"It makes me kind of uncomfortable, to be quite honest with you."
A review of the book posted on the CIA's website panned Albarelli's account for lacking evidence for murder charges.
"Those who demand documentation for such serious charges will discover that investing time to find it in Albarelli's narrative would be a terrible mistake," the reviewer wrote.
In an email, CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Youngblood said that while the agency doesn't comment on matters before U.S. courts, "CIA activities related to MK-ULTRA have been thoroughly investigated over the years, and the agency cooperated with each of those investigations." She noted that tens of thousands of pages related to the program have been released to the public.
In a statement, Eric Olson said the CIA has not given a complete picture of what happened to his father.
"The evidence shows that our father was killed in their custody," he said. "They have lied to us ever since, withholding documents and information, and changing their story when convenient."
The brothers could not be reached for comment at their homes or through phone calls and emails Thursday. Gilbert was unavailable Thursday because he was traveling, his firm said.
The Associated Press and staff writer Danielle E. Gaines contributed to this report.

Catenins are a small group of proteins associated with the cytoplasmic domain of uvomorulin, a glycoprotein 120 kiloDaltons in size. Uvomorulin was originally identified in early mouse embryos, where the glycoprotein was found to be involved in the eliciting of antibodies that could block compaction and inhibit the aggregation of teratocarcinoma cells. Thus, catenins, which are generally believed to function in linking to the cytoskeletal network, are often examined in cancer studies. Catenins of the brain have also been of significant interest due to their role in forming synapses, the junctions across which a nerve impulse passes from an axon terminal to a neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell.
The technique of double immunofluorescence was employed to simultaneously label the adherent culture of rat kangaroo kidney cells appearing in the digital image above with mouse anti-tubulin and rabbit anti-beta-catenin primary antibodies, followed by goat anti-mouse and anti-rabbit secondary antibodies conjugated to Marina Blue (tubulin) and Rhodamine Red-X (beta-catenin), respectively. The culture was counterstained with SYTOX Green, targeting the DNA present in the cell nucleus. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Release Date: 1983 |
Album Rating: 4.5This record is quite well-known where I come from, I was surprised it didn't have a review here and managed to write up one sort of spontaneously. No, this is NOT the start of a discography.
good review. I remember hearing some Marillion when I was younger, and it was sadly boring as all hell to me.
Album Rating: 4.5I believe they also got into this pop rock era and scored a few hits there. I think you'll mean those, meaning it will be nothing like this. But since you're not big on classic prog, I will not urge you to listen to this. I'm eager to know whether this is what you meant by different reviewing.
yeah I believe it is their pop rock shizz I've listened to then. And well, it pretty much is what I had in mind, when I told that you should break out of your comfort zone. Obviously I didn't expect you to jump straight to death metulz ;)
Album Rating: 4.5Well, I actually considered reviewing the entire Death discog (really the only straigthforward death metal band I like), but I would run out of things to say I think.
Never heard of them. If I saw the band name and song titles I wouldve thought they were Power Metal.
Album Rating: 4.5A power metal band writing song called 'Garden Party'? No way.
Yeah, would probably be more like "Slaying the Monolithic Dragon then going to a Garden Party, Part 1"
Album Rating: 4.5Slaying the Mighty Dragon in the Garden of Eden after a Bloody Battle in the middle of a Tea Party: Overture
Anyway: ABOUT THIS REVIEW
Album Rating: 4.0great review Nagrarok, as a huge 70's progressive fan, I find this album to be pretty damn awesome too. Finally, a review for it. Hey, check out my new Maiden review, its for Killers, my second review for them so far.
Album Rating: 4.5I was busy reading that while you commented here. And if you have heard this album, why not rate it? Many users simply seem to forget that. And this one needs it, as you can see.
Album Rating: 5.0Oh man Nag you officially rule for reviewing Marillion, old Marillion is just boss! I'd pos just because its an early-Marillion review but it's a good review as always
Album Rating: 4.5Glad to see this masterpiece being reviewed by you Nag.
Too bad that drummer Ian Mosley was not part of the line up yet.
I can't give this a 5 just for this reason. Brillant review for a brillant debut album. Pos.
Album Rating: 4.0I've heard of Marillion but never listened to them, I'll make sure to check them out at some point, good review mate
Album Rating: 4.5Thanks all. This here album deserves more than just 31 votes.
Too bad that drummer Ian Mosley was not part of the line up yet.
Guess I missed this yesterday. Sounds really interesting and I think I'm gonna have to spin this later today.
Album Rating: 4.5I'll be eagerly awaiting your opinion.
Just as I thought, it is really really good. I definitely get a little bit of a Genesis vibe from them. Also the guitar is absolutely awesome.
Album Rating: 4.5 I'll probably check out some of the follow-ups, their other early work is supposed to be really good.
Everything they did with Fish is excellent. You also find numerous songs that stand out here and there after his departure. 'Seasons End' is a post-Fish album I like.
I definitely get a little bit of a Genesis vibe from them.
Genesis are obviously their biggest influence. But Marillion have developed their own style and sound, subtly blending classic prog and neo-progressive. And yes, Steve Rothery is a very talented guitarist with an inventive and melodic playing.
Here's where the band was the closest to the sound of Genesis imo (especially part II):
Album Rating: 2.5my mum liked these guys. can't say I'm as enthusiastic; maybe the rating is a bit on the harsh side, but I don't really haven't had the patience for this sort of overblown stuff anymore since Quadrophenia

(Married couple struggles with middle age angst)
Remember Pete and Debbie (Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann) from "Knocked Up?" They're back, in a sort of sequel that finds them married with two daughters and turning 40.
The opening sex scene sets the tome for more raunchy encounters intermingled with a few touching, tender and humorous moments. While they are both about to turn 40, Debbie will only admit to 38 and refuses to be a subject for the upcoming birthday party for Pete. Everything leads to the party, when both of their fathers, who have had negative influences on their lives, will come together with family and friends for the big climax.
In its favor, "This is 40" touches a number of situations that are true to life. Middle age, middle class families face the inevitable problems of sex, finances, families, spoiled children and relationships. Some of these are funny, some are poignant and many are just plain raunchy, so if you are sensitive about frank – very frank – sexual conversations and lots of profanity, you may wish to skip this one. (The fact that it is a sequel to "Knocked Up" should be warning enough).
I enjoyed the moments when Debbie tried to change the family's direction by changing their food habits, use of electronic devices and, mostly, their attitudes. She uses "I messages," an old psychologist trick, to hilarious results.
James Brooks plays Rudd's unreliable, money-borrowing father, while John Lithgow plays Mann's absent father. They both play heavily in the final birthday party scene, where people finally let out their long time anger and resentment.
There are some good, true-to-life moments in this movie which, unfortunately, caters to the "Let's push the envelope a little further" trend. It is all about forgiveness and getting on with your life, but sometimes it is difficult to forgive the writers for their gross sexual and bathroom humor. If that doesn't bother you, you may enjoy this one.
Rated a big R, with sex, profanity, nudity, drugs and even a little violence.

Waldo's army
Waldo, the famed explorer has traveled most of the known universe and about half of the unknown universe. No one ever knows when or where he will turn up so they are constantly on the lookout for him. As for his gear, it is said that after each battle he discards the weapon he was using and takes up another. In this way he has probably had more valuable and lost artifacts pass through his hands than anyone else in the universe. The problem is after he uses them they become very hard to find.
Waldo's army is made up of three distinct parts: Wizard Whitebeard (his right-hand man), the Waldo Warriors (his elite troops), and recruits. Wizard Whitebeard is just that, a wizard. In the ancient past he granted Waldo the power he needed to become the greatest explorer in the known universe and often accompanies him on those journeys.
The Waldo Warriors are the elites of the army. They dress as similarly to their leader as they can in an attempt to confuse their enemies and give Waldo the upper hand. In the midst of battle, the enemy will believe he has killed Waldo only to find that it was one of the elites instead.
Waldo is an incomparable recruiter. He has the ability to recruit from any group he comes across and often does so. It's rumored that he has walked onto a battlefield and walked off with a new recruit from each of the opposing sides. However, he rarely recruits more than one unit from any group, so his army is usually made up of large groups of individuals instead of identical squad members. A sample group might look like this:
or maybe this:
The beauty of this army is that you can just take one of every faction or type that is not involved in the battle and add them to Waldo's army.
A brief history of Waldo:
The minifig known today as Waldo was born to a family of commoners in the Red and White Legion. When he came of age he joined the military. Three days after the completion of his training the entire Red and White Legion was attacked and destroyed by the armies of the undead. Waldo was the sole survivor.
He immediately went into hiding, on the run from the undead forces hunting him. During those dark days he became an expert at concealing himself. It was during this time the question "Where's Waldo?" became widespread as the undead forces searched far and wide for him.
Shortly after that Waldo met the Wizard Whitebeard who, in addition to being a wizard, was a great explorer. It was Wizard Whitebeard who game Waldo the power to become the greatest explorer in the universe. Hi increased his lifespan and game him protection from harsh environments among other things. That is when Waldo stopped running and hiding and began exploring in earnest.
During those travels he began gathering an army to fight the one force he really wanted to destroy, the undead. To this end he is willing to form an alliance with any and all factions willing to help him defeat the undead.

Two Gang Members Sentenced In Dodge City Racketeering Case
WICHITA, KAN. - Two gang members have been sentenced to federal prison in connection with a federal racketeering case in Dodge City, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said today.
Joshua Flores, 25, Dodge City, Kan., was sentenced to 84 months in federal prison. He pleaded guilty to one count of brandishing a firearm in a crime of violence.
Hernan Quezada, 21, Dodge City, Kan., was sentenced to 33 months in federal prison. He pleaded guilty to one count of assault with a dangerous weapon, which was a violent crime in aid of racketeering.
In his plea, Joshua Flores admitted he was a member of the Los Carnales Chingones street gang affiliated with the Norteno street gang on June 8, 2009, when he and other gang members who were armed with firearms robbed a victim named Isidro Raleas-Velasquez and other persons.
The victims were at their home at 1005 Avenue E in Dodge City when Flores and three other men affiliated with the Nortenos broke into their residence armed with firearms. One of the Nortenos grabbed a victim, struck him in the head with a firearm and took him into another room. Flores joined the other Nortenos in going through the house looking for other residents to rob. The other Norteno beat the victim he took into the other room. During the robbery, Raelas-Velasquez was struck with a firearm in the head, causing a large laceration. After the robbery, Flores and the other Norteno gang members divided up the proceeds of the robbery.
In his plea, Hernan Quezada admitted he was a member of the Diablos Viejos (DV) street gang affiliated with the Norteno street gang when on Feb. 5, 2012, he assaulted a victim named Reyes Bocanegra. Quezada was at 1200 Avenue I in Dodge City when he got into a fight with Bocanegra's brother, Oscar. The fight was soon joined by Reyes Bocanegra, aiding his brother, and two other DV gang members, aiding Quezada. Quezada struck Reyes Bocanegra in the head with a bottle, causing a laceration to the top of his head.
Flores and Quezada admitted that robberies, assaults and other crimes were part of the way Norteno gang members built their reputations and kept their rivals at bay.
Grissom commended the Dodge City Police Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Ford County Sheriff's Office, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, Assistant Aaron Smith and Assistant U.S. Attorney Lanny Welch for their work on the case.

NEW BEDFORD — The Police Department is offering a free "app" for Android or iPhones that allows the public to send in crime tips from their phones.
NEW BEDFORD — The Police Department is offering a free "app" for Android or iPhones that allows the public to send in crime tips from their phones.
The phone application, or "app," can be downloaded by searching My Police Department or MyPD in the iPhone or Android marketplace, said Officer Greg R. Demers, who works in the department's Management Information Systems. Once the app is downloaded, users have to navigate to New Bedford Police.
"This police app is a great addition to our department," he said. "We can now push notifications and alerts to the public and they have a variety of ways to contact us and give us feedback. The goal of our MyPD app is to give our public a one-stop app option with plenty of features and to open the lines of communication."
The app allows users to submit crime tips in three categories: drug dealing, general crime and traffic issues.
The tips come to police anonymously and, while users can include their contact information, it isn't required.
"For the public to submit a tip, there's nothing easier, especially if they are out and about," Demers said. "It's not a replacement for 911." 911 is for emergencies, he said.
The app also allows users to email or call detectives, station commanders and the different divisions of the department through its "department contacts" feature, he said.
Users can also make suggestions by using the "Questions and Feedback" option and the app also provides easy links to the department's website and Facebook page.
"It's a pretty simple app. There's a lot you can do with it," Demers said.
There are also options to retrieve information from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the National Weather Service and the National Terror Advisory System as well as links for wanted persons, videos, sex offenders and blog posts.
The department home screen contains a number of features with more located in the bottom menu, which is activated upon touch or swipe.

He's wearing black slacks and a black shirt and cowboy hat. There's a bit of silver woven in, too, that picks up the light in the small hotel room.
With his neatly trimmed beard and gentle country manner, he cuts a romantic, old-time figure, like some charming character from another age.
Then he sits down on a couch, picks up an orange Gretsch hollow-body guitar and starts to play — or, rather, starts to twang.
This is, after all, Duane Eddy, one of the most iconic guitar players in history. Since his first album, 1958's "Have 'Twangy' Guitar Will Travel," Eddy has cut a rich musical swath with his ax on the strength of his rich, bottom-heavy melodies that have beguiled fans (and other players) for generations.
He was here in our neighborhood recently for an appearance at the nearby National Assn. of Music Merchants (NAMM) convention, and I had the pleasure of visiting with him and hearing him play right before my eyes. Over the years, he has amassed many awards, from Grammys to his 1994 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Not bad for an Arizona picker who grew up idolizing Roy Rogers and especially Gene Autry.
"Those guys did it for me, but Gene Autry, man," he smiles. "What a pioneer. I'd see his movies. I'd study his playing. I only knew about three chords back then. As I'd soon learn, to stand out, I'd need to do three things: play with authority, have my own style and, most importantly, let it all hang out."
So that's what he did. Noticing that all of the pop songs of the day lived in the land of upbeat, higher registers, Eddy turned his attention to the bass strings on his guitar, mining a deep, dark, mysterious tone that ended up serving him well. He says those strings and that brooding texture they produced was something he fell in love with.
In 1958 came his first single, "Movin' 'N' Groovin'," the tune that many music scholars cite as the first true example of "surf music" (perhaps because the Beach Boys copped the opening lick in their tune "Surfin' Safari").
"Yeah, they used it," Eddy shrugs with a chuckle, "and I never cared. That's just music, sharing little bits of melody and all, no big deal. You know, Bobby Darin asked me about using the title, 'Movin' 'N' Groovin',' in his song 'Splish Splash.' 'No problem,' I told him."
That first single made No. 70 on the charts ("With an anchor, not a bullet," Eddy grinned), but it was enough that the record company wanted more. What they got a few months later was "Rebel-Rouser" — which sold more than 3 million copies.
Noodling on his guitar, Eddy remarks quietly, to himself, "The rest is history, as they say."
And what a history.
In the 1960s, Eddy also acted in films and on TV, but it was the music he was mainly known for. There were more iconic hits, including "Peter Gunn," "Cannonball" and "Ring of Fire." There was "The Ballad of Paladin," "Caravan" and "Because They're Young," to name just a few.
In 1986, Eddy recorded with the group Art of Noise, retooling his version of "Peter Gunn." It became a Top 10 hit around the world and won the Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental Performance of 1986. It also made Eddy the only instrumentalist to have had Top 10 singles in four different decades in Great Britain.
The next year, he was joined on record by Paul McCartney, George Harrison and John Fogerty, among many other artists who admired him. And who can forget "Rebel-Rouser" being featured in "Forrest Gump"?
Today, he's busier than ever. He has a terrific new album out called "Road Trip" (available on iTunes) and will start a big UK tour this May,
Also, his original Gretsch guitar is on loan at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, as is the first three-track machine he recorded on.
As far as why he has endured this long, Eddy tells me that he considers his guitar to be his "voice," and that he approaches his playing the way a singer approaches their instrument. He also has fun talking about how technology has changed over the years.
"Elvis asked me once if I liked stereo," Eddy says. "I told him yes. He said, 'I still like mono, because it just comes out of the speaker and just hits you in the chest. It's more powerful.' For AM radio, he's probably right, but I still prefer stereo, because I can picture the whole band standing there. I equate the changes in recording to the history of flight. One day it's the Wright Brothers, soon after we're landing on the moon. It happens that fast."
And here in Surf City, a lot of people probably still remember films at the Surf Theater, where the familiar twang of Eddy (along with Dick Dale and several others) filled the room, underscoring reels of endless surfers making the most of endless summers.
Watching Eddy cradle his orange Gretsch in the warm glow of morning (with his wife, Deed, proudly looking on), you can almost hear the waves crashing as he pulls out those bass notes.
It's like he's never left.
Because he hasn't.

As the temperature changes from summer warmth to fall coolness, it's the perfect time to schedule a tune-up for your furnace. Doing so now, while your furnace is working, prevents the nightmare of a dead furnace in the middle of winter, with its lofty costs for an emergency visit by a repairman, which can run you hundreds of dollars in just a site fee and another possible couple of hundred for repair parts and labor. If your furnace has been operating on straining parts for a long time, you may also run the risk of expense and hassle of having to get an entirely new furnace. That can be prevented by making a simple phone call now to a reputable heating, ventilation and air conditioning, or HVAC, company to set up your annual furnace checkup and tune-up.
When you do call an HVAC company, be sure to ask for a technician who is NATE-certified. NATE stands for North American Technician Excellence and is an HVAC industry certification of quality. NATE-certified technicians can spot wear and tear in a multitude of furnace systems, and a reputable one will suggest needed new parts in addition to cleaning up the existing ones.
Another benefit of scheduling a furnace tune-up is that your furnace warranty might require it. Check your product manual to see how often the manufacturer recommends tune-ups and what the warranty states about regular maintenance schedules in order for your warranty to remain in effect.
As a smart consumer, be ready to look up prices of parts at http://www.furnacepriceguides.com/gas-furnace before your furnace repair technician's visit so that you're familiar with potential parts and labor costs, and keep that site bookmarked and easily accessible when your technician suggests any fix-ups. Of course, the technician's company sets the prices, but at least you'll have an idea of the average ballpark price.
When you get your furnace tuned up, you also arrange for the following:
--Saving energy. Regular maintenance can improve some furnace models' efficiency by about one-fourth. When your technician removes dust from the air ducts as part of your tune-up, your system will run more easily and use less energy, which cuts down on your expenses. The U.S. Department of Energy and the Alliance for Residential Building Innovation report that regular furnace tune-ups and replacement of parts can result in cooling energy savings of 30 to 50 percent.
--Reduce air pollution. Well-maintained heating and air-conditioning systems will minimize greenhouse gas emissions, and some parts may be Energy Star-marked for eco-friendly use.
--Keep your family safe. A tuned-up furnace may be less likely to create dangerous and life-threatening carbon monoxide leaks. Your technician will test for leaks, encourage you to place a new carbon monoxide detector by your system, and also advise on additional safety hazards, such as storing flammable items too close to your furnace.
--Extend the life of your system. A tuned-up furnace working with less effort creates less wear and tear on parts and on the system as a whole. Tune-ups extend the life of your furnace, perhaps preventing you from having to buy a new one any time soon.
--Prevent costly breakdowns. It's not just a full system replacement that can be the danger. Your furnace might stop working because a part is out of order, which requires you to call a technician, live without your furnace for days or longer until the technician can make it to your home. The broken part will cost money to replace, plus a lot more money in site visit and labor. These mini breakdowns can cost a lot of money over time, and a tune-up can prevent them.
--Prevent inconvenient service needs. If you have houseguests for Thanksgiving, that would be a terrible time for your furnace to break down. In addition to the lack of heat, it can be very embarrassing to have anything break down in front of family and friends. Winter's temperature extremes can make this an even bigger concern.
What's included in a furnace tune-up will vary greatly from company to company. Overall, your technician will check vent systems for blocks and leakages, analyze gases, check for a tight seal at the blower access door, check and clean fresh intake grills and louvers, inspect the heat exchange for rust and corrosion, check the burners for proper ignition and flame, check the drainage system for blockages and leaks, check the internal hoses, clean the drains and traps, clean the blower wheel, check the wiring for corrosion and damage, check the filter, oil the motor and check gas pressure and temperature rises, among other checkpoint items. Each of these tasks may carry some risks if you attempt them yourself, so a trained and accredited professional's work is a wise choice since you get their trained eye and top-of-the-line testing gauges.
Rather than perform a tune-up yourself, appoint yourself the guardian of your newly tuned-up furnace by changing the filters regularly and keeping flammable items far from your furnace.

Bullying Bill Passes House Committee
ST. PAUL (AP) - A bill at the Capitol to strengthen state laws against bullying in schools has passed its first committee hurdle.
The House Education Policy Committee approved the bill Thursday night. It requires all school districts to enact their own bullying prevention policies, and sets aside $1 million in state funds for the Department of Education to help schools formulate their policies.
Students who have been bullied testified that better policies are needed to make sure future students don't suffer the same fate.
But some Republicans and conservative activists say they worry it won't focus on the behavior of bullies but rather on promoting values and beliefs about homosexuality and family structure that some parents don't want their children exposed to.

Hotéis em Odense
Let Odense cast its spell on you! Nestled in the heart of the city overlooking its quaint cobblestone streets, the luxury Radisson Blu H.C. Andersen Hotel is just a stone's throw from the Hans Christian Andersen Museum and great shopping. For golf enthusiasts, there are numerous 18-hole golf courses nearby, while the fascinating 16th century Egeskov Castle is just half an hour away.
Today Odense is known worldwide as Hans Christian Andersen's birthplace, and tourists from around the world flock here to see H.C. Andersen's house. As a guest at the Radisson Blu H.C. Andersen Hotel, you are staying only a few steps away – you simply won't find a better location.
Furthermore, the King's Garden and Odense Castle, which has played a significant role in the city's history, are only a few minutes' walk from the hotel. Founded as a monastery, the castle was taken over by the King after the reformation and used as accommodation for the monarch of the time. In the 1700s, it was rebuilt in its present form. In the so-called Governor period during the early 1800s, the successive crown princes were governors of Funen and Langeland using the castle as their domicile. Today the castle is used by the municipality's cultural administration.
With the industrialization in the mid-1800s, the city grew and several large companies were formed: Thomas B. Thrige's factories, the Albani breweries and Odense Steel Shipyard.
Odense stream, Funen's longest stream, runs through the city to Odense Fjord where the harbour is currently being developed into an area for residential and commercial use, and you can already take a stroll along the newly built promenade. However, there is still room for the ships. Speaking of Odense stream – did you know that this is the stream you sing about in the traditional Danish song 'Sejle op ad åen' [Sailing up the stream]?
In the 1960s, Odense underwent a dramatic change with the construction of the street Thomas B. Thriges Gade, which according to many destroyed the city and divided it into two parts. 2008 saw the equally drastic decision of closing the busy street and transforming the area into a completely new district with housing, businesses and retail stores. The project is expected to be completed in 2020, and while it's in progress the city's creative and imaginative citizens are using it for temporary activities. So stop by and follow the exciting project up close.
Treat yourself to a visit to Bazar Funen, which has been set up in the buildings that used to be Thomas B. Thrige's factories. Here you will meet the entire world under one roof. In an atmosphere of seductively scented spices you can wander around and let yourself be tempted by all sorts of fruits, vegetables and other delicacies, see the goldsmith doing his art and admire the florists' wonderful explosion of colours. In the bazar's cafés, you can sample all the delicious goodies. An exciting, colourful and exotic experience.
The Rosengård Centre is Denmark's second largest shopping centre with over 160 shops. Here you can find almost everything, from groceries to fashion and interior design, cinema and gym. Thanks to its excellent selection of products, its bright, friendly atmosphere and clean environment, the Rosengård Centre has repeatedly been voted Denmark's best shopping centre. Well worth a visit!
The flea market at Odense Harbour is Odense's largest of its kind. This is the place to make a great find – or just enjoy the atmosphere and visit the many stands showcasing everything from second-hand items stored in attics and basements to fine antiques.
Funen is also called the garden of Denmark, and if you explore the surrounding area, you will inevitably encounter some of the island's many farm shops and roadside stalls. Drop in and let yourself be tempted by the many fresh and often organic products such as fruit and vegetables, delicious sausages and meat.
Møntergården is Odense's archaeological and historical museum in the old part of town. The museum consists of several buildings, which span a period of 500 years. Here you will gain detailed insight into past building customs and life in the city over the centuries.
The Gothic St Knud's Church from the 1300s was named after King Knud the Holy, who was murdered in the church in 1086. In the crypt, you can see his skeleton, and King Christian II is also buried in the church. Also note the great altarpiece carved by Claus Berg in the 1500s.
For train enthusiasts, a visit to the Railway Museum is a must. Over an area of 6,000 m2 you can experience impressive steam locomotives and diesel-driven MY locomotives, railway cars with hard wooden benches for passengers who had to travel in 3rd class, and elegant saloon cars that transported the king and his family around the country.
Today, Brandt's Clothing Factory is a vibrant centre of art and culture with indoor and outdoor concerts, art exhibitions, workshops and cinema. You can also sit back and enjoy the visiting crowds over a beer or a cup of coffee. There is always something happening.
In the southern part of the city, you can visit the countryside in the Funen Village, an open air museum with half-timbered houses and farms, which originally were built in other parts of Funen, but now have been gathered to form a historical environment with blooming gardens, livestock and ponds.
In Fyrtøjet [The Tinderbox], the children's culture house, the little ones (and their parents) get a vivid insight into H.C. Andersen's fairy tales through play, theatre and an art school. Each year has a different theme.
The Carl Nielsen Museum gives you an insight into the composer's life and work, and that of his wife, the sculptor Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen. The museum's opening hours have been adjusted so that your visit can be combined with a concert in Odense Concert Hall.
There is much more to see and do in Odense, but also take the time to explore the scenic landscape of Funen, where the manor houses are placed like pearls on a string. We hope you enjoy your stay!
Each year the international Carl Nielsen competition in Odense Concert Hall draws musicians and audiences from near and far to the city for a truly international experience. The instrument on which the participants compete, changes from year to year.
Naturally, Odense also organizes its annual Christmas markets. The Hans Christian Andersen Christmas Market lights up the winter darkness with market stalls, Christmas lights and lots of entertainment. An atmosphere that will warm you up in the winter cold. In the art building The Philosopher you will find a Christmas art market, where you can buy handcrafted Christmas presents from all over the country.
Odense Theatre is Denmark's second oldest. As a regional theatre scene, the theatre is committed to a diverse repertoire with Danish and foreign classics, music and dance performances. Definitely worth a night on the town.
The people of Funen love good food, and this leaves its mark on the city. In Odense you will find a rich selection of restaurants with Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, Italian, Mexican, French and Danish cuisine. You can choose between a cheap meal at one of the many ethnic restaurants and/or be pampered at one of the city's gourmet restaurants.
Fortunately, you do not have to go far for a gastronomic experience – Restaurant Hans Christian at the Radisson Blu H.C. Andersen Hotel will tempt you with a Danish/French cuisine based on the very best raw ingredients.
Odense is also a university city, so the cafés are busy from morning to night. Take a seat and enjoy a beer from the local brewery Albani, a caffè latte or a light and delicious meal. Also, you do not want to miss out on a meal at one of the surrounding area's quaint inns.
If you enjoy dancing till dawn, you can let your hair down at one of the city's nightclubs. There are plenty to choose from, both for those who prefer elegant surroundings as well as those who like a more cheerful and unpretentious atmosphere.
