We all know that Aromatase Inhibitors (otherwise known as "AIs") are extremely helpful in the treatment of ER positive breast cancers. When used as adjuvant treatment for early breast cancer, they can reduce the risk of recurrence by 50%. When used in the treatment of metastatic/Stage IV breast cancers, they can often slow progression of the disease for a long time. Naturally, these benefits do not come without a cost.
The most common side effect of the AIs is joint or muscle aches and pains, medically referred to as "arthralgias". For most women, these feelings are annoying, but not a major problem. For some women, however, the discomfort is actually pain, and it sometimes is intolerable. In these situations, a change to a different AI (there are three) often solves the problem. If not, women may be faced with the difficult decision of whether to continue a very helpful treatment even though the side effects are major. In my experience, for these women, not much is helpful. Yes, the aches and pains are generally worse after a period of inactivity--meaning that stiffness and pain are intense getting out of bed in the morning or standing up after a long period of sitting. Movement and stretching help a bit. Warmth helps, too, so that hot baths or showers are useful.
Most of us bumble along and gradually become accustomed to some degree of stiffness. Since I have been taking one or another anti-estrogen/hormonal treatment for years, I can't remember what it felt like to be completely flexible and loose. My own stiffness is worse if I don't exercise daily, so I use that as another motivation to get out of bed and to the gym every morning.
This is a nice review from the Annals of Oncology. I give you the abstract and a link to read more:
Aromatase inhibitor-induced arthralgia: a review
P. Niravath
Medicine Department, Lester & Sue Smith Breast Center, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, USA
Though aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are an essential part of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer therapy, many patients discontinue the medicine before their adjuvant therapy is completed because of the arthralgia which often accompanies the medicine. Up to half of women on AI therapy experience joint pain, and up to 20% will become noncompliant with the medicine because of the joint pain. Yet, very little is known about what causes AI-induced arthralgia (AIA), and there is no established, effective treatment for this difficult problem. It compromises survivors' quality of life and leads to non-compliance. This paper will discuss AIA in depth, including potential etiologies, clinical significance, risk factors, and possible management solutions. Of note, this article presents one of the first proposed algorithms which clearly lays out a treatment plan for AIA, incorporating a variety of interventions which have been proven by the available literature.

NEW YORK (AP) — The NYPD is looking for a man who impersonates police while committing robberies in the Bronx.

According to WCBS-TV (http://cbsloc.al/1bC0BNq ), the first robbery occurred in June 2012 at the corner of East 194th Street and Webster Avenue and continued over the course of the next 15 months.
The most recent robbery occurred on Sept. 23 on Rowland Street.
Anybody with information is being asked to contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.

Found January 25, 2013 on Busted Coverage:
PLAYERS: Danica Patrick, Ricky Stenhouse, Matt Kenseth, Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
It's NASCAR's dream scenario. Dancica Patrick confirmed today that she's dating fellow racer Ricky Stenhouse Jr., 25. She told the AP: "I have a boyfriend, his name is Richard," Patrick said. "I think I am just finally excited to tell someone about this." This news comes just a couple months after Patrick, 30, confirmed she was divorcing her husband after seven years of marriage. "We are dating, and I know there's been a bit of a runaround this week at the media days and poor Ricky got grilled (with questions about the rumors)," Patrick told the AP. "It was out of respect to NASCAR, to all the manufacturers, the new cars, the teams, the sponsors, just to allow the news of the day to be about racing and not let anything interfere with that. So, it's Friday now, so that's why we waited until the end of the week to be up front about each other." Of course Danica is in a different mood now that she's dating a fellow racer. This is a huge career move for Stenhouse, who is coming off a 2012 Nationwide Series championship and eight wins on the circuit. 2013 will be his first season of full-time driving in the Sprint Cup series, taking the #17 from Matt Kenseth. Patrick is slated to run a full-time schedule for Stewart-Haas Racing. Filed under: Other Sports

Subaru/ASE Master Automobile Technician of the Year
Shop Foreman Toby Costa of Maita Subaru in Sacramento, California, took home the First Annual Subaru/ASE Master Automobile Technician of the Year award in early February. Costa and 86 finalists for the award were judged on scores on National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) tests, on-the-job excellence, community service, and other factors.
Costa has more than 30 years experience as a technician, and he has been a Subaru Senior Master Technician since 1992. For winning the award, he received plaques from ASE and from Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (parent company of Subaru of America) as well as a check for $1,000 for outstanding service from Subaru of America.
The nine runners-up for the award were:
Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc., (SIA) Presents Environmental Awards
Based in Lafayette, Indiana, SIA marked its sixth anniversary of achieving zero landfill status by holding its annual SIA Environmental Stewardship Awards in May. Local individuals and nonprofit organizations were recognized for their stewardship efforts. These included the Rensselaer Central High School Marketing Class; Keep Stockwell Beautiful, Inc., in a joint effort with Cole Elementary School; and Larry Rose, president of Tree Lafayette.
Subaru Sponsors Philadelphia International Flower Show
The Philadelphia International Flower Show took place at the Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) Convention Center in early March. Subaru of America – the premiere sponsor of the event – displayed the Subaru Japanese Tea House, which featured a towering waterfall, koi pond, and bonsai and cherry trees. Also on display were co-branded, pink-and-white 2010 Subaru Forester and Outback models. Both exhibits were the work of award-winning Ledden Palimeno, a local landscape architectural company.

2012 Time for Change – Full Length Film (Video)
"2012: Time for Change" presents an optimistic alternative to apocalyptic doom and gloom. Directed by Emmy Award nominee João Amorim, the film follows journalist Daniel Pinchbeck, author of the bestselling 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, on a quest for a new paradigm that integrates the archaic wisdom of tribal cultures with the scientific method. As conscious agents of evolution, we can redesign post-industrial society on ecological principles to make a world that works for all. Rather than breakdown and barbarism, 2012 heralds the birth of a regenerative planetary culture where collaboration replaces competition, where exploration of psyche and spirit becomes the new cutting edge, replacing the sterile materialism that has pushed our world to the brink.

People with psoriasis should report symptoms of psoriatic arthritis to their doctor as soon as possible, according to findings from a recent study. Even waiting as long as six months can lead to significantly more joint and bone damage and worse physical disability, the researchers note.
The study, "Diagnostic delay of more than 6 months contributes to poor radiographic and functional outcome in psoriatic arthritis," was published in the February issue of the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.
Researchers assessed the symptoms of 283 patients with psoriatic arthritis, analyzing the relationship between disease severity and diagnostic delay, or the amount of time before patients were diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis.
Only 30 percent of patients were diagnosed within six months of the onset of symptoms, while approximately 70 percent had up to a two-year delay in diagnosis.
Patients with a diagnostic delay of more than six months had worse clinical outcomes, researchers found. On top of experiencing worse bone and joint deterioration, these patients also responded less successfully to treatment.
A diagnostic delay of more than a year significantly reduced a patient's chance of achieving complete drug-free remission of the disease, as compared with patients who waited less than six months.
"Early diagnosis and management is vital for good long-term outcomes, not only for structural joint damage but also on quality of life and long-term physical function," said Dr. Muhammad Haroon, the lead author of the study.
The study was conducted in Ireland, where people see a general practitioner before being referred to a specialist. Researchers consulted general practitioner records to determine when the patient's symptoms first appeared, and measured the diagnostic delay as the amount of time the patient waited before following up with a rheumatologist. The study did not focus on the role of physicians in contributing to diagnostic delay.
In a previous study, Haroon found that nearly 30 percent of psoriasis patients who saw a dermatologist also had undiagnosed psoriatic arthritis. Patient education is key to making sure that people with psoriatic arthritis are diagnosed and treated as soon as possible, said Haroon.
"Every psoriasis patient should be carefully evaluated for psoriatic arthritis," he said.

Neural transmission at the serotonin synapse plays a central role in the regulation of human mood and temperament. The serotonin transporter protein is one of the critical elements in determining synaptic concentrations of serotonin. There is mounting evidence that genetic variance in the promoter region of the serotonin transporter protein gene (SLC6A4) is associated with differences in human mood, temperament, and response to stress, suggesting this may be an important genetic variant for human behavior. The regulatory variant (called 5-HTTLPR) in the promoter region of SLC6A4 has two common variants (alleles), both normal, the short (S) and long (L). In Caucasians, the genotype frequencies are approximately 36% L/L, 48% L/S, and 16% S/S. The S allele has been associated with a nearly 50% reduction in expression of the serotonin transporter protein, as well as vulnerability for mood disorders (both anxiety and depression) and inadequate response to SSRIs. However, studies have suggested that the neural mechanisms underlying these associations are complex and can be influenced by environmental conditions. Understanding the mechanisms of these associations will allow a more specific appreciation of normal and pathological mood regulation in humans. We have looked at the effects of the S allele on amygdala activation to emotional stimuli. The human amygdala shows activation in response to threatening environmental stimuli, like angry and fearful faces. The F1 shows that right amygdala activation is relatively greater in those normal volunteers who have the S allele in comparison to L allele homozygotes when responding to the same threatening faces. These data illustrate the observation that normal heritable variation in serotonin signaling associated with 5-HTTLPR can result in increased amygdala response to provocative stimuli. Evidence suggests that only in the face of environmental duress does this genetically driven variation in amygdala reactivity lead S allele individuals to be more likely to develop pathologic features and illness. This genetic variant, even though associated with increases in amygdala responsivity, does not inevitably result in psychiatric illness, only in the propensity to a pathological response in certain environmental circumstances.

By Mary Dunckel, Michigan State University
"National Milk Month" was established in 1937 in an effort to help stabilize demand for milk during peak production periods. The original theme was "Keep Youthful-Drink Milk" and it ran from June 10 to July 10. Two years later, "June Dairy Month" became the official title to celebrate the industry and to encourage consumption and use of milk and other dairy products. Today, producers and consumers continue to recognize the dairy industry during the month of June.
In an effort to understand the importance of the dairy industry in Michigan, consider the following statistics reported in the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) February milk production report. In 2012, dairy cows in Michigan produced approximately 8.9 billion pounds of milk. The state ranked eighth in milk production, producing 4.4 percent of the nation's milk. Michigan farmers care for 375,000 dairy cows and the average cow produces approximately 23,700 pounds of milk each year. Overall, the Michigan dairy industry contributes $14.7 billion to the state's economy.
There are many ways to celebrate June Dairy Month:
Thanks to dairy farmers and the dairy industry, the dairy case is full of safe, healthy, nutrient-rich dairy foods to suit individual consumer needs and preferences. Browse your local grocery store and you will see an incredible variety of dairy products including milk, cheese of all sorts, yogurt of every flavor, ice cream and more. Enjoy June Dairy Month and celebrate Michigan dairy farmers and the Michigan dairy industry.
For More Information
Contact your local Extension office for more ways to enjoy June Dairy Month. Also, read more dairy news to stay up-to-date on dairy related news and events.

When In Rome
Pietro Tomaselli is just 9, but that didn't stop him from inking a contract with AS Roma. Here's why the Italian club signed him up. Watch » Worst soccer miss ever? » Trick play called 'Ugly Kardashian' »Pietro Tomaselli
Since 2001, the New England Patriots have been a portrait of consistent success. Just one season with fewer than 10 wins. Just two seasons outside the playoffs. Five Super Bowl trips. Three Super Bowl wins (albeit none since 2004). So when said team falls behind 41-7 to a Kansas City Chiefs squad that three weeks earlier lost 26-10 to the Tennessee Titans ... one tends to notice. Bill Belichick's and Tom Brady's squad hasn't quite been the same since losing the Super Bowl in the 2011 season, but could Monday's 41-14 loss be the tipping point?
The regular season is done. The playoffs are upon us. One thing is for sure: We will have a different champion in 2014 than in 2013. How will it all play out?
The race to identify game-changing talent is a fierce one in the world of soccer, with scouts showing up at games where the players are all shorter than 5 feet tall. Once you've seen the talents of 9-year-old Pietro Tomaselli, however, you'll know why AS Roma recently signed him to its youth academy:
It gets better: That video was from when Tomaselli was just 8. By now, as a veteran footballer of 9, he's probably 10 times better.
Of all the tributes to Derek Jeter from fans, fellow athletes, celebrities and, really, everyone, this -- from Ashley Kelly, wife of Boston Red Sox pitcher Joe Kelly -- might be the best:
When I was 12, I thought I would marry Jeter. Instead I married the guy that took a selfie w/ him during his ceremony pic.twitter.com/3BrkWBQHgy— Ashley Kelly (@ashleynicokelly) September 28, 2014
So there you have it. This post goes out not only to Jeter, but to all the ladies who have had to settle for us non-Jeters. Our condolences.
Meanwhile, here is Kelly's selfie. Sorry, his #2ELFIE.
#RE2PECT #2ELFIE pic.twitter.com/s5ZfaVYSLf— Joseph Kelly Jr. (@JosephKellyJr) September 29, 2014
H/T Bleacher Report
Memorable trick plays in football tend to carry some combination of: (1) an unusual design, (2) a successful execution and (3) an unforgettable name.
This one -- from Lewis and Clark Middle School in Jefferson City, Missouri -- has all three.
Witness ... "The Ugly Kardashian":
According to MaxPreps, quarterback Atiq Muhammad is telling the referee that his team took the wrong ball onto the field following a kickoff. Of course, this happens after it is legally snapped to him -- meaning Muhammad is able to run past the defense once he feels he's in position to score.
About that name: It has no real connection to Kim, Khloe, Kourtney or any known or unknown Kardashian. It was inspired, according to coach Shawn Griggs, by "The Annexation of Puerto Rico" play from the 1994 film "Little Giants." (Click here for a whole lot more on that play.)
"When I said it the first time in the huddle [my players] wouldn't stop laughing," Griggs said. "I threatened to change the name of it because they would laugh every time I said it."
The joke wore off, though, enough for the play to net Lewis and Clark a touchdown.

Hibiscus is a warm rose colour. It can look a bit dark if you apply more than 1 layer, but it is a medium-dark shade in general. It looks natural, again, if I apply one coat, but several coats gives the appearance of lipstick - and it is pigmented. The balm gives a bit of a sheen, but it's not glossy. I also find it to be very hydrating - almost more hydrating than Burt's Bees regular lip balms! But maybe that's just me. The pigment does create a bit of a drying effect (especially if you have imperfections on lips), but I guess that goes with out saying.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Liked the packaging, very nice color. However, it was very pigmented for my taste and occasionally ended up looking unnatural. It also clings to chapped lips which can look... really gross haha. Great color though, just be careful with application.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this lipbalm! My favorite of the many I've tried over the years. The hibiscus color is so pretty, looks great with my skin tone and gives me color without looking unnatural. It was a little pricey, but I use it every day so it was worth it.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
wow, works better than Revlon lip butter due to little shininess.
great product gives you baby lips
To start off, I'm about medium-yellow in shade and have crappy pigmented lips. They tend to look pinkish fresh out of the shower, juicy red if I just finish eating, and very unflattering-dead looking mauve when I'm tired. Bah.
This baby gives me a pair of juicy pinkish-peach lips. Being so pigmented, ANY lippies that claim themselves being peach, looks very unflatteringly ugly pink on me. Burt's Bees claims this to be pink, but it looks like the perfect peach on my lips. And although, it's "only" a tinted lip balm, it is pretty pigmented on me.
Very, VERY few lip products can do that. And funnily enough, they mostly fall under the drugstore/indie/cheapie categories. Silk Naturals, Sleek, Yves-Rocher and Guerlain are a few that succeed. Boy, did I have explored all the top department store brands, looking for the perfect peach lippie, TO NO AVAIL.
This tinted lip balm stayed on my lips for a good 2 hours or 3. A good meal would erase it all. But, however faded the sheen is, it leaves a faint tint on my lips. It is sheer alright, but with an ample pigmentation, making my lips look naturally peachy and juicy.
However, I gotta attest to it tends to cling on dry chaps and doesn't fix that really well. For some reason, the other shades, Pink Blossom and Rose doesn't have this problem at all and moisturizes my lips beautifully.
I thought I got a bad batch, so I got another one. My sister also got one and I tried hers as well. They all felt the same as the first tube I owned.
The packaging is a brown boring plastic tube. But to be honest, I like it that I can just slip it into my pocket. I prefer this more than a fancy looking Chanel Rouge Coco Shine or Nars Sheer Lipstick that is not pocket friendly, costs about 3x (or more) as much, and lasts about the same on the lips.
Plus, this is much more natural (ingredients-wise) and cruelty-free.
Definitely repurchase. I'm curious of Tiger Lily and Rose. :)
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Let me start off by saying I do enjoy Burt's Bees products. I love their lip balms, cleansers, glosses. So when I heard about this tinted lip balm I was pretty excited. I saw photos everywhere and was so excited to pick one up for myself. I picked the color Hibiscus. It comes in a big cardboard tube. I opened it up happily only to realize the lip balm was not the size of the tube, but of a normal Burt's Bees lipbalm. I feel like the packaging was really deceiving. It made the product seem a lot bigger than what it actually was. Now I find the packaging clunky and unnecessary. Its an okay product but I enjoy the Revlon lip butters more.
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is the best lip balm I've ever tried. It doesn't dry out my lips. And the color isn't sheer, but it does give a little color while still looking like my lips. Plus it smells great!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm not a fan of lipstick, but I do use glosses and balms so I don't look like a dead thing. I love the way this feels on my lips, and how well it moisturizes. The color is pretty and seems to last for a few hours. I also like that it doesn't taste "mediciney." Will buy again.

SUPER expensive for it's size. Packaging is decieving!
For $7, I thought my lip balm was going to be the size of that cardboard container...but it wasn't. None the less, this product still worked good. Moisturizes/conditions well, doesn't have a bad taste, and the color looks really nice! It's not "overly pigmented" which is what I like about it..it makes it seem as if that were my natural lip color.
I probably won't buy this product again as it is wayy too expensive and I can always get something that'll do just about the same but cheaper like softlips.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've used natural lip balms for a while, but haven't gone after natural lip products with color mostly because of convenience and price. After reading a few articles about why it is nasty to put petroleum and parabens on your lips, I've decided to try to go more natural for my color products too. Bye bye, covergirl lipslicks! You will be missed.
I've tried Burt's Bees lip shimmers before, and didn't really like them, although that may have been because I bought a color that was too dark for my tastes at the time. In any case, I decided to try the new tinted balms first. I picked up Hibiscus because it looked like the perfect MLBB shade for me; just a bit darker than my natural lip color.
Someone mentioned below that this smells like Twizzlers, and after sniffing the product, I have to agree. I don't think it is particularly noticeable, though, unless you actually put your nose next to the stick. It is not super-pigmented, but I did get a color that was meant to be mostly natural on me. Red Dahlia or Rose eventually would probably be better if you want more than a bit of tint, and I think the lip shimmers might be more fully pigmented.
I don't think this is as moisturizing as a normal lip balm, and I have been alternating a swipe of this with my eos and burt's bees mango lip balms. It feels better on my lips than other tinted balms I have tried (Palladio), and doesn't dry them out or flake off oddly as you wear it.
I do have to say that, like many others, I am confused by the packaging; when I bought this at Target the other day, not only did it have the cardboard tube around the case, but also an additional cardboard holder around the cardboard tube. This is a ridiculous waste of materials. I'm hoping the new cardboard holder was just for the Target display, and won't be used everywhere, because it made the already ridiculous packaging for this product even worse.
The balm is the size of any other BB balm, so don't be misled!
I like this product and will definitely investigate other colors and repurchase when I run out. Yes, you can get lip color products for cheaper, but they will probably have nasty, cancer-causing ingredients in them. If you don't mind that, don't buy this. For a natural product, this is pretty cheap. The cardboard packaging is dumb, but the product inside is good!

Derick Carver counted the somersaults as he flew through the air. One, two, three...four of them, and then he landed right on his ass. It wasn't the Hollywood way. Things never slowed down or froze or went black. Carver saw, felt, and heard every detail the day his platoon was ambushed in Afghanistan, eight miles outside Kandahar.
He and the 40 army soldiers he was leading were there to open a school the Taliban had shut down after a village elder had allowed girls to attend.
Refusal To Quit
Shortly after landing, Carver assessed the damage. His trigger finger had been ripped off by the force of the blast. Half of his right thigh was gone, his left leg was lost, and his left elbow was torn up. Rather than tend to his own wounds, he turned the medic away to deal with other soldiers, called in the report by radio, and continued to direct his men to engage.
"A lieutenant can die on the ground, and it's a little bit of a loss because [he has a lot of training], but it's nowhere near as because you panicked," Carver says. "You make sure the mission is completed."

I (almost) never lead raids. I don't like to be in the spotlight (even though I mostly play as a tank).
But, as a raid member, if I feel like the raid leader is abusing other raid members, I will just leave. No in-game reward is worth putting up with a rude leader.
(For the record, kicking, or threatening to kick, someone is not always abusing. If the player can't seem to perform and is holding the raid back, a kick might be needed and, perhaps, even deserved. I also completely agree with kicking someone who is undermining discipline, verbally abusing other players, etc, as long as the player is warned beforehand and given a chance to mend his ways before being kicked.)

Push My Start Button
I made a video game mix CD as a gift to my girlfriend. She asked for a bunch of video game songs months ago but, instead of me just giving her songs I liked, I decided to arrange a traditional CD, keeping in mind things like composition, the golden ratio and flow. The name of the CD is Press My Start Button. (Cheesy, I know.)
Compiling a CD for my girlfriend proved very difficult because her taste in music is really strange and all over the place. Video game music I know she enjoys includes songs from Katamari Damacy, Final Fantasy IX, and from Voodoo Vince, an obscure video game for the original Xbox. She generally likes anything with complex percussion instruments and she dislikes the music from the 8-bit and 16-bit era.
That being said, I wanted my CD to be comprehensive, having a good balance of music from the original Nintendo to current-gen systems (sorry Atari!). My goal was to have an hour of music that brought together her tastes and mine while exposing her to video game music she has not heard before. In addition, I made sure that every song in the CD was actually in a video game, meaning no remixes. Lastly, each song is from a unique game, just to force a variety of styles.
Below, I will give you the songs in order on the CD (thank you random Youtube uploaders!) and a brief description justifying my choice and its position. Please feel free to disagree, give alternate suggestions and even suggest what you would put in your own video game mix CD. Also, if you want a copy of the CD, let me know and I'll find a way to get it out to you.
#1- Chrono Cross- Scars of Time
The opening to Chrono Cross seemed like a perfect beginning to the CD. The melodic beginning welcomes you in and the tonal shift one minute into the song really gets you pumped up and (hopefully) makes you want to listen more. Moreover, the chord progressions flow beautifully as the song builds to an epic conclusion.
#2- Super Street Fighter II HD Remix- Spittin' Narcissism (Vega Stage)
Technically this song is a remix but, it was the Vega Stage music in Super Street Fighter II HD Remix, so it's alright. Either way, I liked the transition from Scars of Time to here, because of the extensive use of percussion in both songs. In terms of emotion there was a shift from being "pumped up" to a bit more chill feeling but, it was a sacrifice I was willing to make.
#3- Little Big Planet- Dancing Drums
I know it sounds like I'm beating a dead horse but, the percussion focus is why this song appears here. In order to get my girlfriend into the CD I wanted to start off very strong with a style I know she likes. Moreover, I felt like these first three songs shared some sort of tonal bond while being different enough to give the impression that the CD is traveling in some sort of direction.
#4- Fallout 3- Rhythm For You - Eddy Christiani and Frans Poptie
Moving from crazy funk, this song still has some of the funk but overall is smoother. There are also a multitude of virtuosic solos in this piece all of which blew my mind when I first heard this song. Simply put, the song is composed extremely well with a bouncing base line and a strong beat. I also felt there was an emotional relation between this song and Dancing Drums, for whatever reason. It just felt right.
#5- The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past- Dark World Theme
I had a really hard time finding a song to follow up Fallout 3 and I knew I wanted this song in the CD because it is one of my favorite Zelda songs. In retrospect, a better choice might have been the Super Smash Bros. Brawl version of this song but I had to start getting away from current generation songs somehow. This is probably the weakest transition in the CD.
#6- Super Mario RPG- Forest Maze
I used this song to travel from the "relaxed" songs of Fallout 3 and Zelda. The purpose of this song was to be heard, enjoyed and then immediately forgotten about. This song, while composed well, isn't highly memorable in my opinion, unless you have seen the version with lyrics, that is. In addition, both Dark World Theme and Forest Maze invoke feelings of traveling to me, which around song #5 or #6 out of a CD of 23 songs, is good place to have a journeying feeling.
#7- Sonic the Hedgehog 2- Chemical Plant Zone
The CD was running out of energy at this point so I used this high-intensity song to bring the listener back. There is a lot of rhythm play in this song and it's really hard not to bop your head to the beat when you're listening to it. This happens to be one of my favorite Sonic songs as well, so it just needed to be in the CD.
#8- Mega Man- Elec Man Theme
Riding off the energy of Sonic 2, I put in the first song from an 8-bit console. The transition from Sonic to Mega Man worked really well and both of these songs have almost the same tempo. I also knew quick melodic roll after the first phrase would make my girlfriend laugh. That and the B section just feels like the composer thought he was so cool, which he is of course.
#9- Chrono Trigger- Undersea Palace
At this point I decided that I have enough happy songs; it's time to get serious and start building to the #14 song, which I calculated to be the golden ratio for the CD. I absolutely love this song from Chrono Trigger, especially for the rolling synth in the background that makes you feel a little nervous. This is a big tonal shift from Elec Man, but #9 seemed like the right time to have that shift.
#10- Streets of Rage- Round 8
Sticking with the dark theme, this Streets of Rage song fits perfectly. I love the way this song slowly builds, adding a melody late after taking time to establish a funky beat with complicated percussion. This song also has a complicated background, making it slightly related to Undersea Palace.
#11- Prince of Persia: Sands of Time- Trouble in the Barracks
This song feels very dark and primal and fit nicely after the Streets of Rage song. I wanted this song to develop more however; it feels like it only hits one note. I did need more songs from around 2003 anyway. Oh well.
#12- Sonic & Knuckles- Mushroom Hill Zone Act 1
After the Prince of Persia song I wanted to lighten the mood a little bit but still leave an air of mystery before we get to clear midpoint/ending at track #14. This funky little song is the first level of Sonic & Knuckles and just has a solid beat that will get stuck in your head.
#13- Gunstar Heroes- Stage 3B
For those who have played Gunstar Heroes, this is music played on Orange's stage. I just love the baseline in this song and how busy it is. It feels as though my ears are being filled to the maximum, which is what I wanted to do so that track #14 would stand out a focal point of the CD.
#14- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess- Introduction
I mentioned a bunch about how all of the songs were building to this point. I don't even think this is the best song on the CD but, it serves as a beautiful closing mark to a section. I think I could have chosen a more popular song but, I like the use of traditional orchestral instruments to mark a checkpoint for your ear.
#15- Super Mario Bros. 2- Title Screen
This short 0:32 ditty should be interpreted as an "intermission" song. Think of it as a hint that you are going from Side A to Side B (oh cassettes, how I miss you!). I chose this song specifically because I know my girlfriend liked the Vadrum drum remix of this music. I highly suggest you click on that previous link; Vadrum is an insane man on the drum set and the fact that he does video game covers makes him so badass.
#16- Parappa the Rapper- Instructor Mooselini's Rap
At this point in the CD, this is the last opportunity to have high energy songs and this song just makes you want to groove. I also felt that since my girlfriend liked Katamari Damacy songs that there was a chance she would really like this song as well. The song has an "adorable" feel to it, like many Katamari Damacy songs. I purposely didn't pick the OST version of the song because half the fun of Parappa the Rapper was the embellishments you could add between the required hits.
#17- Dr. Mario- Chill
In the closing seconds of Instructor Mooselini's Rap there is a little transition sound that goes along with the squares appearing on screen. The little sound flows straight into Chill music when put right next to each on a CD. Chill by itself has amazing composition, going all over the place yet still keeping the same tone. With Dr. Mario's gameplay there wasn't much happening on the screen at a given time and I felt this song filled the empty space well.
#18- Super Mario 64- Bowser's Road
The relentless percussion motor going on in background is what makes this song so epic. Yes, the melody also adds to the journeying feel but the constant drum beat of the song is why this one makes the CD. The chord progression builds very slowly to the bridge as well, which is countered by the constant drum, making the song stick in your head, if at least for that moment.
#19- Voodoo Vince- The Square
I mentioned this game in the introduction of this post. This 3D platformer isn't very good in terms of gameplay but, the jazzy soundtrack is addictive. I added this song because it was my favorite one from the game, with a syncopated and creepy chorus. I love how the piano comes up from the depths of the bass to steal your attention for a fleeting moment, only to eventually be drawn back into the disjointed rhythm.
#20- Super Mario Galaxy- Gusty Gardens Theme
I had no idea how to follow up The Square so I just decided to wind down the CD with some energy before I get to the mellow songs I had placed as tracks #22 and #23. Gusty Gardens is one of my favorite songs from Super Mario Galaxy so I was glad I was able to find a place for it somewhere.
#21- Mega Man X- Credits
I originally had this following The Square because both were jazzy pieces, but this song just felt so different from The Square that I couldn't put them next to each other. I love the free form feel of this song as though the composer was just told to jam out for a couple of minutes.
#22- Final Fantasy X- Silence Before the Storm
This song is an interesting take of a
#23- Donkey Kong Country- Aquatic Ambiance
There were so many songs I could have taken from Donkey Kong Country but when I remembered this song I immediately knew that this would be a peaceful way to end this hour long CD. Donkey Kong Country had such a unique sound when it came out; its music was subtly complex, never demanding your attention because it fit so well with the game's atmosphere. I'd also like to note that if this CD were to loop to the beginning (as most video game songs do) it also transitions well to Scars of Time.
Well, that's it. I hope you enjoyed this little music compilation. Feel free to rip it apart and tell me what you think I got wrong, or what I got right. In case you were wondering, my girlfriend really enjoyed the CD. Success!
In industrial and commercial applications, push buttons can be linked together by a mechanical linkage so that the act of pushing one button causes the other button to be released. In this way, a stop button can "force" a start button to be released. This method of linkage is used in simple manual operations in which the machine or process have no electrical circuits for control. -Reputation Management

The Rev. Willie Wilson called me up a last month to complain about a column where I described his boycott of an Asian shopkeeper in his neighborhood. I wrote that the market owner had "supposedly disrespected" an African-American customer, who he had "suspected of stealing."
Wilson wanted to set me straight. The longtime leader of Anacostia's Union Temple Baptist Church said the shopkeeper had brandished a pistol at an elderly woman, for no good reason. He said she had suffered a heart attack and successfully sued the market owner.
So, there. I stand corrected. The disrespect was real and apparently unwarranted.
What Wilson did not dispute was his comments about the shopkeeper. At one of the boycott gatherings, in the presence of the press, Wilson said that if he and his followers had not forgiven the shopkeeper "we would have cut his head off and rolled it down the street."
That unpleasant episode took place in 1986. Racial tensions were high. Crime was out of control, especially in Willie Wilson's neighborhood. The District recorded 194 murders that year, on its way to the high of 482 five years later. Drug gangs controlled the streets of Anacostia. Cocaine was king.
Wilson voiced the frustrations of his followers from his pulpit, in front of the magnificent, floor to high ceiling Black Nationalist mural of Martin and Malcolm, Rosa and Frederick Douglass, among others. He also preached the politics of victimization and played the race card. Who can forget Willie Wilson rousing up racial hatred on the lawn by the federal courthouse in the summer of 1990, when Marion Barry was on trial on cocaine charges?
Now Wilson and the Rev. Graylan Hagler are coming to the defense of Mayor Vince Gray. They have asked "sisters and brothers" to meet on Wednesday morning in front of the Wilson Building "to demand that premature calls for the mayor's resignation cease."
I am on board with the ministers. People across town have suggested Gray voluntarily step down, because federal prosecutors have discovered that his 2010 mayoral campaign was riddled with corruption. The most damning revelation concerns $653,000 in funds delivered to his campaign off the books, as in illegally. Hearing that, three council members recommended Gray resign.
Wilson and Hagler have a point. Until the feds finger Gray, I see no reason why he should step down.
But Hagler has insinuated that Gray is being harassed because he is black. Two of the council members who called for Gray to quit are white. Willie Wilson will have a hard time keeping his race card in his hand.
But times have changed since Joe diGenova and Jay Stephens investigated and prosecuted Marion Barry for snorting cocaine, among other things. Both U.S. attorneys happened to be white. Now the chain of prosecutorial command -- from U.S. Attorney Ron Machen Jr. through Attorney General Eric Holder to President Obama -- is African-American.
"There's no racial conspiracy floating in the District of Columbia," former D.C. police lieutenant Lowell Duckett tells me. "That's gone."
If Wilson and Hagler preach racial disharmony, their legitimacy will be gone, too.
Harry Jaffe's column appears on Wednesday. He can be contacted at email@example.com.

ROME—In Poland, in Italy, in Serbia, in France, the victory of Barack Obama was an all-night obsession. Morning across the Atlantic brought some giddy relief and sober reckoning about the problems that these countries and America face in the global economy.
In Serbia, early morning callers to Dragan Ilic's popular radio broadcast were ringing in the news. "It was a big surprise," Ilic said that callers kept repeating.
"His first opponent, in the primary, was part of the Clinton gang and the Clintons have a certain legacy here. Bill Clinton ordered the bombing of Serbia," said Ilic, referring to the war in 1999 when NATO bombed Belgrade to stop a Serb army assault against ethnic Albanian rebels in the south. "His victory then was poetic justice.
"Now across Europe I think there is a feeling that he means real change. We see a friendly face in America now. George Bush was a symbol of arrogance, " Ilic said in a phone interview from Belgrade.
"We don't expect him to be pro-Serbia or pro-Croatia or pro-anything specifically in our region. But he seems like a man will approach problem in a more human way You can bring a shoe to the table and pound it like Kruschev once did or you can come and listen. He seems like a modest guy who is willing to listen."
In Poland, the election was covered as heavily as any presidential election at home--with reporters broadcasting live from Washington, Alaska, Texas, Chicago. Internet traffic monitoring the race soared into the night. Polish political leaders were quick Wednesday morning, as the last votes were called, to assert that nothing would change with an America led by a President Obama.
Poland wrested itself free from communism with a Republican president in Washington. It joined NATO with the support of another Democratic president, Bill Clinton. Its recent deal with the Bush administration, another Republican ally, to locate a controversial missile defense program within its borders will not be affected by a change in administration, Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikoski told public Radio Three.
Obama's rise and the rousing vote for change would "renew America with a new card of trust in the world." Sikorski said. The missile defense agreement crafted this summer between the United States and Poland would not be adjusted, Sikorski said.
The missile defense program was raised within hours of Obama's win by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. Medvedev said that Russia will deploy missiles in territory near NATO member Poland in response to U.S. missile defense plans.
In a state of the nation speech, Medvedev said he hoped Obama would act to improve relations with Russia.
The icon of Poland's Solidarity movement, former President Lech Walesa, who lived through decades of tumult and change, heralded the American vote. He also said, gently, that the world awaited more details.
"The victory of the first African-American in a presidential election is proof that America and the whole world wants change," Walesa said on Polish television. "I'm glad that a person who talks about change has won. Now I want to know what changes he wants to introduce."
In Spain, both conservative and left-leaning papers across Spain on Wednesday hailed Obama as a fresh, young, agent of change.
El Mundo focused on the breaking of a racial barrier--"Obama Changes the Color of History"--and the left-leaning El Periodico de Catalunya filled its front page with a photo of Martin Luther King. "No Longer a Dream," it proclaimed.
But there was caution by commentators over what it would mean for Spain and for Europe. "America has amazed us all again," wrote Joan Canete Bayle, Washington correspondent for El Periodico de Catalunya. "But one thing to remember: Obama is a genuine U.S. product. We Europeans may adore him but he will be an American president.
"The Hope and Change of which he speaks apply far more to the United States than to the Berliners who so adored him this summer [in a visit]. His 'new dawn of American leadership' means Obama wants the U.S. to be the world superpower, liked and respected maybe, but all powerful." Canete wrote.
In France, the Obama victory was celebrated in parties in such famous haunts as Harry's Bar and the Swan Bar in Montparnasse. Most crowds, as portrayed in Paris newspapers, were overwhelmingly pro-Obama. But the election apparently has also touched off sensitive internal discussions.
Obama as an African-American president raises questions, again, about people of color in France who live in the restless and tense multiracial banlieues of the big cities. In an interview widely noted in the French press Wednesday, black association leader Patrick Lozes was blunt: "The great lesson is that 40 years of struggle against discrimination in the United States is worth more than many more years of racial struggle here in France."

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Amazing inky, ruby/brick color, an indicator of the depth of this wine. Avalon's Napa Valley Cabernet displays aromas of juicy plums, boysenberries and earthy minerality. Caramel, molasses and vanilla notes from oak aging balance and frame the fruit flavors. Oak aging additionally adds weight on the palate. Napa flavors show through with red raspberries and quintessential dark cherries. The tannins are sandy and fine. This spacious Cabernet benefits from decanting to bring out its rich flavors and expansive palate.
Like the Indie films that inspired Avalon, our wines are original and uncut. We focus on the essence of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. We differentiate ourselves by producing flavorful wines at a decent price. We specialize in Cabernet Sauvignon and just recently branched out with our first release of Merlot from the 2009 vintage.

It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making.
