London (Jul. 12)
(By our London correspondent)
The Minorities Question was raised in the House of Lords yesterday by Lord Parmoor, who rose to ask the Government whether it can give any further information on the position of minorities or on the ratification of Conventions at Geneva. The question, he said, is one of much complexity. It concerns a problem that has come to the front in a special manner since the Peace Treaties, because those Treaties, by altering some frentiers and rearranging and extending others, have made the question of minorities one of extreme and immediate importance. In one sense the question of minorities is an old one and has been with us for centuries in Europe, but in its present phase it is a new question, dependent almost entirely, though not in all cases, upon the terms of Treaties which give to minorities rights, as I think, guaranteed by us and by those of the Allied and Associated Powers who signed the Treaties.
The minority question is one which affects minorities in race or in religion. There are between fifteen and twenty of them. The importance of this question may be further gauged by the ## that on statistics which have been ## prepared and collected–the minorities which are protected by the Minorities Treaties are in the aggreement between 32,000.00 and 35,000,000.
I am not suggesting the alteration of those Treaties. I think it is far too early to make any suggestion of that kind. But taking that view, it is more important that those who have ## right solemnly granted to them by Treaty to which this country is a party, should have the advantage of those rights which have been given to safeguard their lives and interests.
The principle, I think, was very admirably stated to the Second Assembly by the then Representative of Great ##. Lord Balfour. What he said is so important that I copied it out in reading again through the speech which he made to the Second Assembly of the League in 1920. He said–"We have set up a machinery for the protection of minorities and we mean that the machinery shall work." I do not suppose any one would dissent for a moment from that statement, but the part I want to call attention to is the words "we mean that machinery shall work." The question which has been raised and ought to be carefully considered in view of our obligations, is ##, after experience and expernnent, the machinery does work so as to give the protection to which the ## are entitled.
I am afraid that in many respects the machinery wants alteration and the alteration is a thing which I should hope this country would take part in planning out. It does not, however, affect the principles of the Minority freaties themselves. I think that something should be done in order to make the protection of these minority rights more assured and less open to friction and dispute. For that purpose you want to arrive at two results. First of all you must have a method by which those rights, if called in question, can be decided one way or the other–that is between the minority and the national government. Secondly, and hardly less important, is it that the minorities should be satisfied whatever the decision come to may be, whether in their favor or against them that their interests have had proper, impartial and fair consideration. Although I do not want to criticise those who give the consideration. I shall be bound to point out that in my view at the present time the minorities have some reason to say: "Whatever our rights may be we should be satisfied that, if they are to be enforced, the method of enforcement is satisfactory."
Professor Gilbert Murray took a foremost part in helping to formulate the machinery by which the minorities could be protected under the Minority Treaties. The main proposals were partially accepted in 1922 and 1923, but since that time, very little change has been made, although I think experience and experiment have shown that changes must be made if the minority rights are to be effectively enforced.
I think that after experience and experiment reform and change are necessary. It is in this direction that I hope the Government may exercise its influence. In the first place, the aggrieved minority, who obviously are the persons or parties especially interested, cannot approach the League at all. There is no machinery whatever by which the aggrieved persons can approach the League directly. I am sure. Lord Cushendun, will agree with me in that. There is machinery by which you may ask some other country to take up your case or something of that kind, which is entirely different. But the ordinary principle ought to prevail and there ought to be machinery by which the aggrieved minority should be able to bring forward their case and state it–I do not say whether before the Assembly or the Council of the League–before the competent body which is to give the decision. But the minorities are not really recognized as competent parties to the process at all.
They have to stand on one side to a very great extent, and entirely so far as their right is concerned, while matters are discussed in which they have critical and immediate interests. They take no part and are not allowed to take any part in the examination of their grievances.
A Congress of National Minorities was held at Geneva in 1925, which asked for three things in order that their rights might be properly protected. One of the things that Congress asked for was the publicity of documents.
At the present time I do not think there is any part of the procedure at Geneva which is less public than that dealing with minorities. Secondly, the Congress of National Minorities asked that ruinorities should be treated as parties to the case. It seems to me obvious. I must say, that this should be done in the cause of justice. Thirdly they asked that any Member of the League, whether a Member of Council or not, should have the right to bring a case before the Council and so start it on its way to the Permanent Court of International Justice. At the present time that can only be done by a Member of he League who is also a Member of the Council Surely the question arises, why should not any Member of the League, any Member of the Assembly, be allowed to take a step of that kind?
Lord Cushendun. replying for the Government, said that Lord Parmoor was quite mistaken in one very important respect, in saying that the minorities themselves have no means of making their case known to the Council. That is a emplete misconception. A report was adopted in 1920 by the Council to the effect that minorities themselves, or States not represented on the Council, were not debarred from bringing to the notice of the League any infraction or danger of infraction of the Minority Treaties and the procedure that is now in force, under the Committee of Three is that any minority that thinks itself aggrieved has the right to present a petition to the Council. That petition is examined by the Committee of Three, consisting of the President and two other Members of the Council, and according to the judgment that they form of the justice or otherwise of the petition that has been presented they may move the Council to take it into consideration. Unless they do this, the petition is not, of cause considered by the Council itself.
The point on which I chiefly differ from Lord Parmcor is this. He seems to think that, in order to carry out these Mincrity Treaties, it is desirable that there should be the greatest possible freedom of appreach to the Council. other by ## otherwise, that every ## mimority should have easy ## some tribunal either the Council ## the ## Court, and that there should be the greatest possible publicity ##. That was one of the points on which the noble Lord laid stress. I am bound to say that I take a very difierent view. The noble Lord must be perfectly well aware that it would not be difficult for these Minority Treaties to be used for purposes very different from that for which they were intended by the framers of the Peace Treaties. It might perfectly well be that they could be used for irredentist propaganda for raising all sorts of minor questions with which they were not intended to deal, and if on any occasion some perhaps quite inconsiderable minority were to raise some case in which they alleged that their rights under these Treaties had been violated, very likely without any evidence whatever to support them, and if that sort of thing were to grow general, it would probably make these Treaties impossible to carry out and would also be a source of friction and of bad blood.
Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, speaking on the same question, stated that it would be a great mistake to try to uproot these Treaties which have been so recently signed. Moreover, there is not the least probability that the other parties to them would agree to any considerable. I agree also with Lord Cushendun that there is not any case at present for any change in the Treaties, but the question of the procedure by which these Treaties are worked at the League is ## a different matter.

When a new mom begins nesting, there's usually one thing on the top of her list: Designing, decorating, and fluffing her new chick's nursery. There are all sorts of decisions to be made in terms of color palettes for your new baby's room. Will you swath the room in pink for your new baby girl or perhaps planes of blue for a baby boy? If you're not learning the sex of the baby, maybe you'll opt for the gender-neutral yellow?

I wonder if the Twins are after Jimenez or Santana since there #1 pick is protected. With the Brewers not sealing the deal at this point on Garza, he is still available.
If I was a FA pitcher still available I would be leery of signing with the Orioles because there a chance you could flunk there physical. Examples in Balfour and now Colvin.
I wont be able to go to Tribe Fest, but who ever does in this forum I hope everyone has a great time.

New EMI Receiver from Teseq Significantly Reduces Test Time, Improves Accuracy
Ideal for conducted emissions testing of appliances, power tools and machinery
May 10, 2012, 13:16 ET from Teseq Inc.
EDISON, N.J., May 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Teseq Inc., a leading developer and provider of instrumentation and systems for EMC emission and immunity testing, now offers a new EMI receiver that reduces test time from hours to seconds and improves accuracy. The PMM 9010F is ideal for conducted and radiated emissions testing of appliances, power tools and machinery. This new EMI receiver is up to 300 times faster than the PMM 9010.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120510/PH04997 )
In full compliance with CISPR 16-1-1 and IEC-EN standards, this new EMI/EMC measurement receiver uses Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) analysis to reduce test time and improve accuracy. These fast and reliable tests provide users with immediate feedback for all measurement detectors, eliminating the need for time consuming pre-test and rescanning with Average and Quasi-Peak detectors.
The PMM 9010F has a standard frequency range of 10 Hz to 30 MHz and is expandable up to 18 GHz by using external modules including Teseq's 9030, 9060 and 9180. Scan time that used to take hours with a conventional receiver can now be performed by the PMM 9010F in less than 25 seconds when the device is adjusted to the full CISPR setting. This setting includes a span of 9 kHz to 30 MHz, a hold time of one second, a pre-selector switched to the 'on' position, a CISPR RBW at 200 Hz as well as 9 KHz and CISPR detectors that include PK, Qpeak, C-Avg, CRMS and RMS-Avg.
The PMM 9010F is ideal for testing products with short or varying operational cycles because it eliminates the need for separate pre- and post-test scans which can miss short term or transient emission signals. The receiver features a low noise floor, less than -24 decibel micro volts in band A and less than -7 decibel micro volts in band B, eliminating the need for external pre-amplifiers.
This user-friendly receiver can be used as a stand-alone device or in conjunction with the powerful PMM Emissions Suite. The PMM 9010F is lightweight and features an internal battery making portability easy.
Existing 9010 receivers can easily be upgraded by simply returning the unit to the factory. A new calibration certificate is issued upon completion of the upgrade.
Teseq is the exclusive North American distributor of PMM, a brand of Narda Safety Test Solutions srl, which manufactures the compact modular PMM 9010F.
The PMM 9010F starts at $24,500. Delivery is 8 to 12 weeks ARO.

I have a complaint. I tried to take it to my kids, but they kindly referred me to the department of "Mommy Will You Cut Up This Peach For Me."
This is something that has been going on since the kids learned how to speak, and I find it baffling. BAFFLING, I SAY.
Whenever I turn off the car and and get ready to open the door and step out, one of them starts a story. STARTS a story. as in, "once upon a time" or "let's begin at the beginning."
Without fail, I'll unbuckle my seatbelt and someone will go, "Hey Mommy, I want to tell you about the funnest thing we did in school today. We were at recess…" and away they go. Are they expecting me to buckle back in and grab onto my seat for this wild ride of story they are about to tell me? Could they not wait until everyone has exited the vehicle? Because I ask them that three to four times a week: "Okay, why don't you wait till we all get out of the car?" Three to four times a week. For years. I'm stumped.
By the way, this also works when going in the opposite direction. I open the car door so that they can get in, and as they are settling in to their car seats, someone is bound to say, "Mom, do you wanna know my favorite thing about Skylanders?" DO I?!!! But please, can I get in the goddamn car first?
It's making me slightly nuts.
It's not unlike that little voice that comes into your head seconds before you about to fall into a deep, blissful sleep.
Voice: "Ahem. Excuse me? I see that you're just about to drift off but I was wondering if we could take a quick look back at that time summer camp when you sat down in the middle of your cabin and peed all over the floor? No? Then how about the next year when you did the same thing at a different camp in the middle of your platform tent? Come on. This is going to be great."
I don't have anything particularly interesting to say about this. I just find it really, really annoying and my dog doesn't want to hear it anymore.
But enough of my whining — let's get to the free stuff! A very nice person named Bobby contacted me and asked if I would do a giveaway to my readers for a $50 gift card. And I said, "Hm. Gift card for what?" And they said, "How about, any of THIS!" Turns out that their website, Select Aware, offers coupon codes and deals for oh my god almost everything. It is kind of a dream for a cheap bastard like myself (I started doing Just For U coupons at Safeway and I have become a woman obsessed. This does not bode well for the people who will be standing in line behind me when I am 80.)
"Sorry, Meredith. I am not convinced." Oh NO?! Well take a look at this. These are just a few of the MANY places you can choose from for your gift card:
- A Pea In The Pod
- Barnes & Noble
- 3BallsGolf (ha)
- The Container Store
- Chocolate.com (YES)
- Ferret.com (YES YES YES)
- Hanna Andersson
- L'Occitane
And that is just a random few I picked out. And I only got through the letter L. What I'm saying is, there's some good shit here.
So here's the deal. I am doing a Rafflecopter for this. Your options for entry are below. The giveaway will be open for two weeks, closing on JUNE 19TH. So enter your hearts out until then. On the 19th a winner will be randomly selected and I will announce it on the blog.
Wheeeeeeeeeee, I enjoy giving people free stuff!
Good luck!

Greece has once again been making the wrong kind of headlines and is very much front of mind for investors. The breakdown of talks between the Greek delegation and the institutions and inflammatory rhetoric by Greek Prime Minister Tsipras has raised worries about a Greek default and euro exit. Thursday's Eurogroup made little further progress towards a deal, though an emergency Euro Summit has been planned for Monday. In this note we try and answer ten big questions that arise.
A long-term deal to revive Greece in the eurozone should contain three elements
Nick Kounis Head of Macro Research
1. What is the current state of play?
Some progress has been made but there is still a significant gap between the two sides. The Greek government finally accepts a primary surplus target of 1% GDP for this year, and 2% GDP for next year. This is in line with what was proposed by the creditor institutions. The major remaining sticking point now is that the institutions doubt the effectiveness of some of the fiscal measures proposed by the Greek government to meet those targets. Greece will likely need to propose more realistic policies to cut spending or raise revenue. The IMF is of the view that Greece needs to cut pension expenditure, though it has no problem with Greece protecting the poorest pensioners.
2. What are the key dates coming up?
An emergency EU Summit has been called on Monday (22 June), while a Eurogroup meeting will be scheduled some time before that in order to try and lay the ground work for a deal. There is also regular EU Summit scheduled on 25-26 June, which could effectively be the last opportunity for a deal to be wrapped up ahead of Greece's bundled IMF payment of around EUR 1.6 bn on 30 June. The day after – on 1 July – the ECB has its regular non-monetary policy meeting, in which it decides whether or not to veto the Greek central bank's provision of Emergency Liquidity Assistance to the Greek banks. Beyond that, on 20 July, Greek government bonds held by the ECB mature. The principal amounts to EUR 3.5bn, while the coupons total EUR 700m.
3. Will Greece and its creditors reach a deal?
We think they will eventually. Granted, recent rhetoric by Greek Prime Minister Tsipras makes gloomy reading. He said that the IMF "bears criminal responsibility" for the situation in the country. This is a rather 'unconventional' way to address one of the institutions that you hope will lend you money. He also said that he was prepared to accept responsibility to say a 'big no' to a continuation of the 'catastrophic policies for Greece'. Meanwhile, Europe and the IMF have responded by saying that the ball was in Greece's court and they should make a new more acceptable proposal to make a deal.
Despite the stand-off we think that both sides have too much to lose and will eventually reach an agreement. As discussed below, a Greek euro exit would have negative consequences for both sides. Meanwhile, the vast majority of Greeks want to remain in the euro so the government does not have a mandate to act in a way which precipitates such an outcome. The good news is that there is still some time left before the IMF payments are due. We think the differences can be bridged.
4. What if they do not?
If there is no deal, it is likely that the government will run out of cash by the end of the month. It will very likely be unable to pay the IMF. The IMF has said that there would be no grace period, and that Greece would then be seen to be in default to the IMF on 1 July. At that stage Greek euro exit fears would escalate. There would likely be more stress in financial markets. In addition, there would be more uncertainty in Greece, and deposit outflows would likely start to accelerate at a dangerous pace. At this stage, the best case scenario would be that the two sides get back to the table having had a shock and negotiate a deal, which would see them take a step back from the brink.
5. What happens to the Greek banks?
If Greece misses its IMF payment, the banking system would be increasingly vulnerable to a liquidity crunch. Indeed, reports out of Greece suggest that in the first four days of this week, deposit outflows accelerated to EUR 3bn. Defaulting on the IMF would likely see this trend intensify, with a very real risk of a bank run. Given this, the authorities could in those circumstances decide to pre-empt a bank run by implementing deposit and capital controls before the end of the month. This could occur over the weekend (27-28 June) or following a bank holiday at the start of the following week.
The case for such a move could be strengthened because of uncertainty about the continuation of central bank liquidity. There is a question mark about whether the ECB would continue to allow the Greek central bank to provide Emergency Liquidity Assistance. The ECB has said that the Greek banks are solvent. In addition, non-payment of IMF loans is not classified as a 'default' by the rating agencies. Furthermore, it takes a two-thirds majority of the Governing Council to block ELA and the ECB may be reluctant to take a decision with such adverse consequences, which it judges should be made by politicians. On the other hand, it would be uncomfortable for the ECB to allow continued ELA in the face of what would be in effect a sovereign default.
6. Would default mean exit?
Not necessarily, but the chances of Greek euro exit would rise considerably. Greece could still reach a deal with its creditors after a default and come back from the brink. It could also theoretically reach no deal and default but stay in the euro. Legally, a member state cannot be thrown out of the single currency. Only it can initiate an exit. However, the situation could over time become unbearable for Greece without any external financing for the government and banks. The economy is already back in recession, but it would likely start to contract very rapidly following the liquidity crunch in the banking sector and the implementation of capital and deposit controls. Cyprus is a recent example of this. Sharp falls in GDP would likely push the primary balance into a large deficit. In the absence of external financing, the government would then need to tighten fiscal policy to balance the books in the face of a deep recession. Greece may decide that the economic and social hardship was too much to take.
7. What would Grexit mean for Greece?
In the first year at least it would mean an even more severe economic crash. The weakness in the economy, banking stress and fiscal tightening would be 'complemented' by a collapse in the value of the new currency. Inflation would soar. The central bank would need to be careful in easing monetary policy given the high rate of inflation and the risk to inflation expectations. The experience from countries that have exited currency boards is that eventually, the economy would adjust and rebound. However, in the meantime, social hardship would become severe and there would be a risk of serious political instability.
8. What would Grexit mean for the eurozone?
There would most likely be sharp financial stress, with peripheral government bonds and other Southern European assets leading the decline. However, it may not last long. The Greek exposures of the rest of the eurozone are much less than in the past. In addition, policymakers have the tools to intervene. Calm would eventually be restored, though significant economic damage would be done in the meantime. We have already seen signs that the crisis in Greece is undermining confidence indicators, and we would likely see a more significant deterioration. However, if calm returns relatively quickly the economy should eventually regain its footing.
Still, there are significant risks. A Greek exit could undermine investor confidence in the longevity of the eurozone. They could then permanently price in higher risk premiums, especially for the weaker member states. Furthermore, member states would not welcome the risk of political instability in a geopolitically important area.
9. Will Super Mario save the day?
Yes most likely. In the case that Greek exit risks rise sharply, the ECB would activate the OMT, and buy large quantities of stressed government bonds. This should push down sovereign bond spreads again and generally support financial markets. However, countries in trouble would officially need to be in an adjustment programme. So it is unclear how quickly the OMT could be activated.
10. What would a long-term solution look like?
A long-term deal to revive Greece in the eurozone should contain three elements. First, serious structural reforms to reduce the huge gap with the most competitive and dynamic countries in the single currency area. Under the previous government, significant progress was made, but there is much more to do. Second, a reasonable pace of consolidation to maintain significant primary budget surpluses. Here too Greece, has taken large steps in the past. Finally, debt relief. Greece will unlikely be able to return its debt to sustainable levels over a reasonable period. Further moves by eurozone member states to reduce the debt will likely be needed. These moves could be incremental and made conditional on the delivery of reforms.

Top Ten Best German Bands
The Top Ten
Not a SINGLE bad song! EVERY Rammstein song I have ever heard is just pure genius!
From their first album to their most recent, they are truly a legendary Metal band...
Rammstein, rammstein. Why The best because it is legendary band. Amazing melodies, its not the best German band, its best band worldwide. Just listen to albums Mutter or Sehnsucht and you will understand why its the best
I can't honestly think of a band as unique as Rammstein. Their sound is vulgar and powerful, and they 're lyrics are poetic and interesting. Their music will engulf any room it's played. Rammstein ueber alles!
Because they are just music masters from the amazing guitar from Richard and Paul to the awesome sound of Till's voice all 6 men are amazing at what they do, none of their songs are bad and are just brilliant in every way.V 219 Comments
They are incredible and Klaus Meine is an awesome vocal! They are way better than Rammstein, Accept and any other german band! Definitely one of the world's greatest bands ever! Songs like Wind Of Change, When You Came Into My Life(both versions), Alien Nation, A Moment In A Million Years, Under The Same Sun, Rock You Like A Hurricane, Still Loving You, No Pain No Gain, Here in My Heart, Your Last Song, Humanity, We Were Born To Fly, We Will Rise Again-this proves they are definitely the best german band up till now.
They are responsible for every German band who has reached fame somewhere other than Germany
I just found out they started in 1965! The songs I enjoy seem to come from the mid seventies. The music is catchy and the sound of the singer's accent is endearing. It still seems to have a definite European feel even if you didn't know they were from Germany. I only found out about the band when my brother came back from the Army. Although I didn't approve of his military stint, I did approve of the music to which he introduced me. I don't know that much about the other bands listed. I approve of Kraftwerk and wonder why Nina Hagen didn't make the list as well. The inclusion of Kraftwerk validates the fact that this is not only a rock list.
By far the best band from Germany and in my opinion the best overall band of all time in rock and roll history. They cover every aspect of rock and metal. They have more diversity and depth than anyone!V 103 Comments
Tokio Hotel has been around for quite awhile, and we KNOW they are going to stick around for many more years to come. And what is great about them is that even though they have been around for so many years, they hold their fans well and have the amazing ability to crank out more and more great music and evolve according to changes that need to be made. They keep everything interesting and updated, from altering their music style a little to glamorizing their look and shows. Bill has the most amazing voice I have ever heard, Tom and Georg are absolutely rocking' on the guitars, and Gustav is a wonderful drummer. They are fabulous and capture everybody's interest with the whole deal about Bill and Tom being twins (not to mention the twins' amazing looks and fashion styles) and they have such good hearts. All four of the members are amazingly polite and sweet boys, and they care so much about their fans. Fans, I might add, that are very numerous in quantity
Tokio Hotel brings ...more - ingridbrindle
I love the way they became in who they are, who could know that 4 boys from a little town would become into super stars
Amazing band; The fact that they are one of the very few still together more than ten years after being successful even though they were barely fifteen at the time is already incredible; but they manage to make each record evolve. It's never boring, they never keep on doing the same usual thing, they experiment, and each record is better than the last, even though they take quite some time along the way. They took a five year break, which is basically a professional suicide, and still managed to make their last album successful because well their music is simply great.
I love the whole band, but I must be honest: the main reason why they've been that successful (internationally, which is quite incredible for a German band) is their very frail and beautiful lead singer Bill Kaulitz. Of course his voice is great and boy can he sing ; but most than that, he has sex appeal, he has stage presence, he has that little something only stars have. Daring, audacious, glamorous, he kept on ...more
The best ever!V 175 Comments
The best Power Metal band in the world! Everything they've done is a work of genius. Listen to 'And Then There Was Silence' (all 15 minutes of it) and discover your new favourite band.
This band is great, love the style of their lyrics
Blind Guardian is many favorite band! I have ALL their albums and have seen them live about 6 or 7 times!
Bloind guardian or rammsteinV 5 Comments
Thank me for adding Helloween to this list, for me they are the second best band. - MartinHelloween
Most underrated hard rock band of the eighties! Their music was original, but they also had outstanding lyrics. Real ones. Ones you could actually think about and live.
They are great I live in Canada and nobody know them when I listening some helloween and people around are like what is this band it's good music and I told them it's helloween power metal German band lol!
I'd never heard of this band before, but after checking them out on YouTube... yeah, I have to agree... how the heck are the below some of the ones above. Arguably, their style is not quite as diverse, but let's face... the 80's itself was pretty uniform in style too.V 8 Comments
Alright I understand Rammstein being high and Scorpions should be first but really? TOKIO HOTEL? They're just a big joke. Kreator should definitely take their place on this list at #2 after Scorpions
Rammstein 1st, laugh out loud, Tokio Hotel 2nd, laugh out loud, Scorpions 3rd, big joke! Scorpions should be 1st. Even if I prefer Kreator, Helloween or Accept, I have to admit that Scorpions is a legendary hard rock band and REAL musicians. But Rammstein and Tokio Hotel things shouldn't be in that ranking, or at the bottom of that list. If Justin Bieber was germanic, I'm sure he would be 1st too... What a shame!
Oh my God, one of the best Thrash Metal bands is forgotten
The real list must be: 1. Scorpions 2. Avantasia 3. Rammstein 4. Tokio Hotel 5. Kreator
"Satan is Real" Tokio Hotel is in TOP 3
if Accept isn't in the top 5 of the best German bands, this list is really pathetic...
you should check out their classic songs "Fast as a Shark" and "Balls to the Wall", as well as other songs like "Teutonic Terror", "Restless And Wild", "Princes of the Dawn"... - rock2metal
This band is really amazing, love the new singer, Mark Tornillo! They were big in the 80's, then came back again with a 2010 album, Blood of the Nations. Check out their classics, Fast as a Shark or Balls to the Wall, and also check out the newer stuff like Teutonic Terror! These guys are amazing. Heavy metal! - xSpartanXx
great metal band! this band is a marvel - rock2metal
Best german bandV 6 Comments
One of the most influential bands of all time
Electronic version of Beatles
I can't believe that only 3 percent agree
Most of the influence from modern music no matter what genre, comes from Kraftwerk and most artists and musicians have multiple elements of Kraftwerk in there songs. They're just awesome anyways.
Originators of techno sound.
Most important artist after Elvis PresleyV 38 Comments
Oomph! Is an excellent band; their songs are great, and many of their songs, such as Labyrinth, are essentially short renditions of classical cultural items. In the case of Labyrinth, it is a nod toward Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and Brennende Liebe is sort of an alternative Frankenstein tale. Both songs and music videos are intricately and excellently done.
People like Rammstein due to their live performance but on the other hand Oomph! Likes to stay focused in their songs. I personally love Oomph! A lot more than Rammstein and I like Rammstein a lot UNTIL I heard Oomph!. Tip: Listen to Oomph! If you like Rammstein and you might like it, just because one song is not good listen to another, maybe that one is
Oomph is the best German band I've ever heard. They're so creative and just make good music. Oh I love Oomph! So much
The bestV 28 Comments
after Helloween the best German band - MartinHelloween
They're the best. Gamma RAY
Stunning Band... Up there with Scorps for me
The Contenders
Along with kreator best thrash metal bands of Europe!
City of God is such a tune
I listen to their songs. Name of the band creeps me out. - LordofL
Agent Orange is UNBELIEVABLEV 3 Comments
Hey, this band is underrated in this list! It's the best!
Tobias is a genius! 17th? Why? Edguy is a true heavy metal band!
They need to place somewhere on this list
I'd say this should be at LEAST 5
From what I can see, this list is currently a little biased towards a more thrash or raw almost shock rock sound. Die Toten Hosen is definitely not in this category, but I would say that from what I know of them, they are definitely a more developed band and frankly... other than Rammstein... one of the only ones I would be interested in, in that they actually sing... IN German.
Die Toten Hosen are a gift from God to mankind. I love the deep lyrics and their guitar skills keeps me dead electrified. As I can see all other bands listed here have been compared to others but Die Totens are just one of a kind. Seriously which genuine rock lover doesn't adore this Mega Band. -Chege (Kenia)
Die Toten Hosen in my opinion is so much better than all of the bands above it. They are not heavy metal scream-o type, their like your hard rock/modern rock band you hear in America but Deutsch. I love them and have been hooked on them for years. I am happy to call myself a fan of Die Toten Hosen. And if you haven't listened to them yet, I more than highly suggest you should start to.
Not a SINGLE bad song ever made by die Toten Hosen love these guysV 11 Comments
I am personally a scorpions fan but I also really like Avantasia so I just decided to go with Avantasia because it is lower down on the list and it is not where it should be scorpions should be #1 and Avantasia should #2 right behind the scorpions I guess all I am trying to say is that Avantasia and the SCORPIONS ARE THE BEST BANDS EVER AND SHOULD BE WAY HIGHER! 1!
It's simply one of the best power-metal band's out there! It obey's al the power metal rules as the best!
28. Songs come in two tempos: metal and ballad.
32. Play in as many bands as possible. More side projects and guest appearances means more epic!
And yet its still way more then just a "Power-Metal" band
Definitely deserves to be in top 5, common people vote!
Every single song from Avantasia is just awesome. And the lyrics are beautiful. Tobias us a genius composerV 2 Comments
Thrash metal at its finest.
One of the best bands of all time, German or otherwise.
One of the best bands ever anywhere
I remember seeing them at Stirling University, Scotland in 1975 - was blown away by them
Best band in the world ever.V 10 Comments
Best production, killer vocals
This is my favorite band. - 906389
Best band in the world, hands down! I can't believe they are number 20 on this list. Oomph! And Rammstein are good, but Die Arzte is number 1. They are everything anyone could want in a band
I love them! Good punk rock music and funny lyrics
Life would suck without their songs, it lightens up mood and brings a smile to sad faces
Tokio Hotel nr.2 and this fine band 18?! No way!V 6 Comments
Amazing stuff. Ahead of their time
A very wide range of sounds, energies, concepts, always evolving in a good way.
These guys ARE industrial.

Paul Declares the Glory & Majesty of the New Covenant made by Christ Death & Resurrection Part 3
2 Corinthians 3:15-16 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away. KJV
Paul testifies to the standing that Moses has among the Jewish people and their religion. Paul knows by way of experience what he declares here being that he was a Hebrew of Hebrews (Philippians 3:5-6), as he describes himself before his encounter with Christ and so was the majority of Jews then and still until this very day. One perfect example of how the Jews (in this case the Pharisees) felt about our Lord Jesus Christ in comparison to Moses was reflected in a discourse that took place between some of the Pharisees and a man born blind from his Mother�s womb healed by our Lord Jesus Christ, as recorded for us by the Apostle John here, �So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, �Give glory to God; we know that this man (Jesus) is a sinner.� He then answered, �Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.� So they said to him, �What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?� He answered them, �I told you already and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?� They reviled him and said, �You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man (Jesus), we do not know where He is from.�� (John 9:24-29). This very discourse is one that has occurred from then all the way until now with many Jews. Every non-believer be they Jew or Gentile as Paul declares their hearts or kardia meaning the center of their spiritual life, their mind which houses all of their thoughts and feelings is veiled or kaluma meaning covered or obscured and concealed from the truth about Christ and the gospel of His death and resurrection from the dead for their sins.
Paul then immediately introduces a conjunction or makes the connection with the veil or covering over their (all non-believers) hearts by declaring that when �it shall turn� or epistrepho speaking of their hearts and meaning to revert or turn back or to go back to a previous state literally, figuratively, or morally; to turn to the worship of the True God. Paul declares here that when the heart or kardia of any sinner be they Jew or Gentile turns to worship the True and Living God Jesus Christ, then the veil or kaluma is immediately taken away or periaireo meaning to take away that which surrounds or envelopes a thing; metaphorically to take away altogether or entirely the guilt of sin, to expiate or make reparation for wrongdoing perfectly. This veil upon the heart is done away with and removed completely in the Person and Work of our Lord Jesus Christ. There are two verses in the New Testament written by this same Apostle Paul that many people refer to as �the sinners prayer�, but in actuality it is a description of what happens internally or in the inner man (where no one can see) when a person is born again and it is written by Paul with these words, �That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation� (Romans 10:9-10).
2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. KJV
It was the sole and only purpose of the Law of God or the Ten Commandments to drive every one of us in guilt and shame over our sinful state to the Cross of Jesus Christ where He then by the Holy Spirit pours Himself into us and we are absolved of all our guilt and shame and given a new freedom of full and complete access to God the Father at all times and at any time free from fear or condemnation (Romans 8:1) and we are liberated eleutheria meaning freed from being slaves to sin and evil and liberated into true liberty to live as we should and not as we please because as Paul wrote to the Galatian believers, �So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world. But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, �Abba! Father!� Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God� (Galatians 4:3-7). We are sons of God now and we are treated by our Heavenly Father as any good earthly father would treat his son (but far better), we are loved unconditionally (no matter what we do or don�t do (Hebrews 13:5)) but at the same time we are disciplined or chastened when we sin and rebel against our Heavenly Father because He Loves us (Hebrews 12:6-11). It is Christ living �in us� by the Holy Spirit and convicting us, exhorting us, teaching us, encouraging us, rebuking us, loving us, gracing us, and cherishing us through the mirror of His Word daily revealing to each of us the truth about our character, attitudes, and our behavior ever conforming us and molding us, and shaping us into the image of Christ Jesus our Lord, where when we see Him Face to face we will then be just like Him (Romans 8:29 & 1 John 3:2).
�Not only was Moses veiled, but the hearts of the Jews were covered with a thick covering of prejudice. They did not understand the inner significance of the Levitical Code; and when the Law was read, they listened to it without spiritual insight. Directly men turn to Christ, they see the inner meaning of Scripture. What liberty becomes ours when we live in Christ! We are free to love, to serve, to know, and to be. Note 2 Corinthians 3:18! We may gaze on the unveiled face of God in Christ. The more we look the more we resemble. The more we endeavor to reflect Him, in doing what He desires, the more certainly and inevitably we become like Him. Only remember that in all things we are deeply indebted to the gracious influence of the Spirit. He produces the Christ-life in us.� F. B. Meyer
�Troubled soul, the �much tribulation� will soon be over, and as you enter the �kingdom of God� you shall then see, no longer �through a glass darkly� but in the un-shadowed sunlight of the Divine Presence, that �all things� did �work together� for your personal and eternal good.� A. W. Pink
�Worship is not a repetitious exercise of rituals and formulas. These create a veil that actually prevents us from enjoying the presence of the Lord. Worship is the heart poured out in gratitude and awe, expressing our appreciation of who He is and what He has done for us by His grace through Jesus Christ.� Dave Hunt
�Give up the struggle and the fight; relax in the omnipotence of the Lord Jesus; look up into His lovely face and as you behold Him, He will transform you into His likeness. You do the beholding--He does the transforming. There is no short-cut to holiness.� �Any battle for victory, power, and deliverance - from ourselves and from sin - which is not based constantly upon the gazing and the beholding of the Lord Jesus, with the heart and life lifted up to Him, is doomed to failure.� Alan Redpath 1907-1989
�It is the majesty and grace of Jesus Christ by way of the Holy Spirit that makes all the difference for me, to me, and in me and He is the only reason why I can rejoice, because without my Lord Jesus Christ I can do nothing (John 15:5) and I am nothing and I often prove the validity of that Scripture far too many times.� Clifford D. Tate, Sr.
If you do not know the Lord Jesus Christ and His amazing healing power, pray this from your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ (you speaking directly to Him), Dear Lord Jesus, I confess to You that I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness. I believe You shed Your Blood and died for my sins. I believe that You rose from the dead proving that You alone are God. I repent of my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I ask You Dear Lord Jesus to come into my heart and take control of my life. I want You to be my Lord, Savior, and my God. Amen...
Sincerely in Christ,
Clifford D. Tate, Sr.

Obama asks Iowans to pressure Paul Ryan on farm bill
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa --President Obama urged Iowans to press Rep. Paul Ryan on House Republicans' opposition to the farm bill passed by the Senate, if they happen to see Mitt Romney's vice presidential pick during his travels through the state.
Obama's comment showed the campaign will tie Ryan not only to his signature budget issues but also to other positions held by the House GOP.
"Unfortunately right now, too many members of Congress are blocking the farm bill from becoming law," Obama told a crowd of 4,300 gathered in the park at the center of this town. "I am told that Gov. Romney's new running mate, Paul Ryan, might be around Iowa in the next few days. He is one of the leaders of Congress standing in the way. So if you happen to see Congressman Ryan, tell him how important this farm bill is to Iowa and our rural communities."
With drought across much of the country, "the best way to help these states is for folks in Congress to pass a farm bill that not only helps farmers and ranchers respond to natural disasters, but also makes the necessary reforms and gives farmers and ranchers some long term certainty," Obama said. But short of that, his administration will do more to help, including new purchases of fish and livestock aimed to help ranchers who are "going through tough times right now."
The president jabbed at Ryan again later in his remarks, as he called the Wisconsin Republican an "articulate spokesman" for Mitt Romney, just as he did in fundraising remarks on Sunday. While Ryan is good at articulating Romney's vision, "it's a vision I fundamentally disagree with," Obama said.
Though a version of the farm bill passed the Senate, Republican leaders in the House chose not to hold a vote because of GOP opposition to farm subsidy and food stamp funding in the bill. Ryan is among the Republican leaders supporting cuts to food stamps.
But House GOP leadership disputed the president's characterization of the drought issue.
"The Democratic-controlled Senate left town for August without taking action on a drought aid bill that passed the House with bipartisan support, including the support of Chairman Ryan. The weak attempt by the White House to manufacture a controversy illustrates the president's desperation to change the subject to anything other than his failures on jobs and the economy," Kevin Smith, spokesman for Speaker John Boehner, said in a statement.

I've neglected my hen blog the last few months. The three remaining hens from my original flock of six are getting older now and getting into much less trouble. I have less to report to their fans. Seems like unless a hen is sick or injured or unless there is some "coop" event, most visitors to this blog are content to just watch the hens and read my message board.
We've had a pleasant and somewhat busy summer in our back garden. We trust our Australian labradoodles (who are now over two years old) with the hens, and are able to let them all out together to wander the half-acre terrain that we call our backyard. Daisy, Poppy, and Sweetpea give the dogs a warning glance and a sharp "trill" if they come too close and the "doodles" find them less interesting or perhaps they consider them too much trouble to turn into a snack.
The hens were great layers in the late winter and early spring but are now slowing down to about 2-3 eggs a week. The shells of their eggs are thin and break easily in the nest boxes. This is not good and I have tried giving them oyster shells and their own eggshells but nothing seems to work. Perhaps thin shells are a sign of old age.
I've heard of hens living to be 6-8 years old but their laying career should be about 4-5. This means at 3 ½ our dear hens may be at the beginning of the end. I really need to consider getting a couple of pullets to keep my egg production going but we are enjoying the peace and congeniality of these three hens. They seem to like each other and like us too. So for now, the "good old girls" will have the coop to themselves.

IFPI announced that the recording industry is working with MasterCard, Visa and the London (UK) police to address the illegal online sale of unlicensed music.
For more information visit: www.ifpi.org
Unedited press release follows:
Recording industry welcomes support by payment providers to tackle illegal online sale of unlicensed music
London, 2nd March 2011 – The international recording industry has recently engaged with MasterCard, Visa and the City of London Police to extend cooperation in tackling illegal online services selling unlicensed music worldwide.
Illegal websites, often based in Russia and Ukraine, have been infringing the rights of artists, songwriters and producers for several years by selling tracks and albums without paying anything to those who created the music they sell.
Under the arrangement IFPI can secure action by police against websites that infringe its members' rights. Details of 24 copyright infringing music services have been handed over to the police to date.
IFPI's anti-piracy investigators supply the City of London Police's Economic Crime Directorate with evidence of illegal downloads made from an infringing site. Once the police have verified the evidence, they notify MasterCard and Visa who require the acquiring bank providing the retailer with payment services to produce evidence of appropriate licenses to sell music or cease providing those services to the retailer. To make sure the new system works effectively in practice, MasterCard has committed to deal with requests involving law enforcement expeditiously.
Industry anti-piracy experts have drawn up best practice procedures for MasterCard and Visa, to distribute both internally and to banks that use their services, which help identify infringing websites and prevent them from being granted card payment facilities.
Unlicensed music websites have operated out of Russia and Ukraine for several years. They sell tracks and albums to an international audience at low rates, made possible because they do not pay rights holders for their work. These websites appear in English and contain details of the latest music charts in markets such as the US and UK.
Frances Moore, Chief Executive of IFPI, said: "It is extremely positive for the recorded music industry that the world's largest payment systems are taking steps to prevent their services being abused by illegal websites that infringe the rights of artists, songwriters and producers. Intermediaries, such as MasterCard and Visa, can play a key role in tackling online piracy wherever it originates around the world.
"We commend the City of London Police for the key role it is playing in coordinating the programme. This demonstrates that it understands the damage these rogue websites are inflicting on jobs and growth in the UK and around the world."
"MasterCard is pleased to support IFPI and law enforcement to help prevent the illegal sale of unlicensed music," said Eileen Simon, Chief Franchise Development Officer, MasterCard Worldwide. "A coalition approach such as this will enable us to prevent our system from being used to carry out this illegal activity and will help protect the livelihoods of artists, legal rights holders and legitimate e-commerce merchants selling properly licensed material."
Steve Wilson, Vice President – Payment System Risk, of Visa added: "Visa is pleased to continue to assist, support and enhance its ongoing relationship with the IFPI and the music industry. Visa has always prohibited the sale or purchase of illegal goods and services through its payment system, and this collaboration is a tangible demonstration of this commitment."
Detective Chief Superintendent Steve Head of the City of London Police Economic Crime Directorate said: "This is an excellent example of how the police can work with different business sectors to effectively tackle the impact of economic crime, in this case music piracy. It demonstrates the benefits of innovative and focused partnership working and I am confident that it will greatly assist in preventing this criminal undermining of the music industry and all of those whose livelihoods depend upon it. We will continue to support initiatives such as this as we seek to develop a broad range of tactics to prevent crime being committed, no matter where in the world these criminals may operate from."

North Korea Gets Boost as Workers Flood Into Gaeseong: EconomySam Kim
North and South Korea reopened their jointly run industrial complex today, reviving a lone symbol of economic cooperation five months after it was shuttered amid the North's threats of preemptive nuclear attack.
Thousands of North Korean workers were returning to the Gaeseong zone, located north of the border. From the South, more than 500 trucks, vans and cars formed a bottleneck at a checkpoint at the heavily armed border, carrying supplies and company executives to the site to restart factories. More than 120 companies operate at Gaeseong, including watchmaker Romanson Co., and Shinwon Corp., an apparel maker.
"My heart's in a flutter now that Gaeseong is restarting," Lee Mun Yong, who works for South Korean cellular phone parts maker Jaeyoung Solutec Co. Ltd., said near the checkpoint. "North Korean workers are looking both relieved to have their jobs back and determined to work harder. The past five months has been a time of crisis for them."
North Korea pulled its 53,000 workers out of Gaeseong in April, capping months of tensions after it conducted a third nuclear test in February and threatened preemptive attacks when the United Nations stepped up sanctions and the U.S. and South Korea held annual military drills. Gaeseong has provided Kim Jong Un's regime with much-needed hard currency and been a source of cheap labor for South Korean companies.
"It would not have been easy for North Korea to give up Gaeseong because it's a valuable source of hard currency," Choi Chang Ryul, a professor of liberal arts at Yong In University near Seoul and a political commentator, said by phone.
Seeking Dollars
At the border today, a line of people formed at a currency exchange booth run by Woori Bank, changing South Korean won for U.S. dollars, the only currency that can be used at Gaeseong. Other South Korean workers shook hands and laughed as they chatted in groups inside the transit office.
"I'm glad I'm finally returning after so many twists and turns," said Shin Han Yong, president of Shinhan Trading, which produces fishing nets at Gaeseong. "We didn't get to fish at all this spring and summer, so to speak. But I held on to the hope that Gaeseong would open again."
South Korea's Kospi index of stocks rose 0.6 percent as of 11:50 a.m. local time.
Gross domestic product in North Korea increased 1.3 percent in 2012 after a 0.8 percent rise in 2011, according to calculations released by South Korea's central bank in July. The North's economy has contracted in four of the last seven years, the Bank of Korea data show.
Lagging South
North Korea's per capita income was about 1.37 million won ($1,270) last year, or one-nineteenth of South Korea's, according to the BOK estimates. Foreign trade, excluding commerce with the South, rose 7.1 percent to $6.8 billion, with exports increasing 3.3 percent to $2.9 billion and imports rising 10.2 percent to $3.9 billion, the BOK said.
The agreement to reopen Gaeseong paved the way for a separate accord to revive reunions of families separated by the Korean War. The next round will be held at a mountain resort in North Korea between Sept. 25-30. South Korean tours to the Mount Geumgang resort on the eastern coast were another symbol of detente before being halted in 2008 when a North Korean guard shot and killed a South Korean visitor.
Relations between the Koreas have improved in recent weeks, even as international concerns mount that the North may have reactivated its 5-megawatt nuclear reactor capable of producing one bomb's worth of plutonium every year.
Nuclear Reactor
The U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies said Sept. 12 that satellite imagery taken Aug. 31 shows white steam rising from a facility powered by the reactor at Yongbyon, north of Pyongyang.
That reactor was mothballed under a 2007 agreement involving the two Koreas, the U.S., China, Japan and Russia. North Korea officially quit the six-party talks, which aimed to offer it aid in return for giving up its nuclear ambitions, in 2009 before conducting its second nuclear test.
In early August, the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security said the North had doubled the size of its uranium-enrichment facility at Yongbyon. Both plutonium and uranium can be sources of fuel for nuclear bombs.
Elsewhere in Asia today, China's central bank set the yuan's reference rate at 6.1554 per dollar, the highest level since a peg to the greenback ended in 2005. Governor Zhou Xiaochuan said that the nation's main economic indicators are within in a "reasonable range," in a Qiushi magazine article posted on the People's Bank of China website.
Summers' Exit
Across Asia, analysts and officials were assessing implications for the region from Lawrence Summers withdrawing from the race to be the next chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Summers was perceived as being less in favor of quantitative easing than Janet Yellen, another candidate to replace Ben S. Bernanke when his term ends in January, Mitul Kotecha, the global head of currency strategy in Hong Kong at Credit Agricole SA, wrote in a research note.
Inflation data are due today in India and the euro region. In the U.S., industrial production grew 0.4 percent in August from the previous month after stalling in July, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey ahead of Fed data today.

Since Aliens, being quiet around xenomorphs hasn't really been the best idea. Space marines got it in their heads that the best course of action was to storm into a room and unload dozens of bullets into the bugs. With Alien: Isolation, Creative Assembly is dialing it all back to the first Alien film where silence was golden.
In a new developer video shared with GameSpot, Creative Assembly discusses the lengths they went through to make Alien: Isolation sound like the first film. For starters, they put together an orchestra that included members who played on the first film's score and created a new score that closely mimics that of the original film. They also gained access to the original film's sound recordings and recreated those sounds from scratch, including a sound that's created from stepping on vegetables.
All of this will come together to form the core gameplay for Alien: Isolation where sound is king. If players can see the xenomorph, it's too late for them. Instead, they will have to listen to cues from the environment to find out where it's coming from and hide in an appropriate place. From there, any sound can trigger a reaction so it's not too brazen to assume that players will be able to throw stuff down a corridor to distract the xenomorph while they make a run for it.
So far, Alien: Isolation has been everything the Alien fan has wanted. With the betrayal of Aliens: Colonial Marines still fresh in memory, it's going to take a bit more to make fans concede to Alien: Isolation wholeheartedly. We're getting there though and developer videos like this really help sell Creative Assembly's vision for a proper Alien game that finally captures what made the first film so special.
Alien: Isolation will be out on October 7 for PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC.

Getting Enough Potassium on Low-Carb Diet
I've noticed that I'm falling very short of the recommended amount of potassium. I already take a daily multi-vitamin, but it doesn't include any. Other than taking a supplement in pill form, is there a good food source for potassium that works well on a low carb diet?
Here is a list of foods that might help...some are low carb!
Food high in potassium
Thanks for the link. I eat prunes every day and bananas most days, but they're not exactly low carb! I see beef is right there--I guess that would be perfect for low carbers.
Avocados are your friend on low carb. They have more potassium than a banana and are low carb.
The best source I know for potassium (besides baked potatoes with skin on, which are obviously out in this case) is mushrooms, having lots of potassium and other minerals etc and very, very few calories. Plus they can be added to most things if chopped small or sliced thinly without even being noticed.
Hope it helps :)
Nutrition Facts and Analysis for Avocados, raw, all commercial varieties
727 mg potassium in a cup of avocado
sounds like a nice amount
I did NOT know this
Thank you Texas Low Carbman!
AND they are yummmmmy! :)
Also, there is a "salt substitute" that has potassium in it. look for it in with salt/spices at the grocery store. but, just check yourself, are you sure you are deficient? only a blood test can tell for sure, so maybe if it's time for labs, have it checked to reassure yourself. good luck!

The Old Course And Its "Acute Spur Formation"
As we come to grips with the idea that men who preach the gospel that is St. Andrews are also conspiring to tinker with golf's most sacred grounds, nothing is more shocking to me than the idea that they have so many plans to change the ground.
Bunkers have come and gone and are easily filled in. And who is to say a few here or there might not have been spots where sand would have emerged in early iterations of the course when the bunkers formed by accident? Yet in Friday's news dump press release, the Links Trust and R&A are proudly touting all of the various areas where they are going to rearrange contours. In nearly all cases, this is ground that has not been touched for centuries.
Most curious of all for me was this regarding the fourth hole:
On the 4th, the acute spur formation on the left hand side of the fairway will be reduced and the bunker on the right hand side of the green will be moved closer to its edge. The ground to the back right of the green will be re-contoured.
So is this the acute spur formation, easily the nastiest euphemism for hillock or mound ever concocted? As seen from the middle of the 4th fairway in 2010:
Or is this bump short left of the green the acute spur?
Either way, if one of these is the "formation" that Dr.'s Hawtree and Dawson will be shaving down, it begs the question: do they even get the most basic essence of Old Course golf? The strategy is so basic and yet so sound:
Drive down the right, flirt with trouble and open up a view to the green.
Bail out right from the tee and the risk averse golfer gets blocked out by the hillock...errr...acute spur formation, leaving a more difficult second shot with another acute spur formation causing problems if the hole is cut left.
I genuinely hope these are not the features they intend to tinker with. Because if so, the Old Course will be in danger of losing some of the vitality that makes it so special.

Sun Microsystems and Microsoft Corporation have both agreed to delay a court hearing regarding Windows 98 and Java. The hearing, which was delayed until September 4th, will determine whether Windows 98 needs to be compatible with Sun's version of Java: Sun had previously asked the court to require Microsoft to ship Windows 98 with a version of Java that is compatible with Sun's official version. Microsoft ships their own version of Java with IE 4.01 and Windows 98. Originally, the hearing was set for July 31: No reason was given for the postponement

Wander and Lust for This One
The Wanderlust is a new elastomer material from the same quality Japanese maker of our Rabbit Habit and Rabbit Pearl for so many years. More forgiving than vinyl and silicone, there's a great softness that allows for a flexible fit of the tickler for women of all sizes. A motor in the bulbous head is great for G-spot stimulation, and the tickler hugs the entire clitoral area. Smooth ribs add sensation on entry. Slider controls allow adjustment to both shaft rotation and the strength of the vibration.
- Insertable 4"
- Phthalate-free
- Require 3 AA batteries
