Great for photo display
June Wallace from Castro Valley, CA– Verified Buyer
I used this to insert 8 X 10" photo collages made on Picassa (free from Google), printed on high gloss photo paper. It's a great way to display lots of photos in an easily accessible, compact format. It sits at eye level on a counter in my family room, where I and others easily flip the pages.

Part three of Chapter 7. Frankie's POV. LOVE THIS.
Frankie's P.O.V.
Sometimes I wonder why Gerard chose me. I mean, out of every single guy on the face of the earth, why me? I'd even think some chick'd be a better match than me. Now, there is no doubt in my mind that I love Gerard to no extent, and he loves me equally, but I still wonder. What made me so much better? I mean, I'm not worth half the trouble I cause, and if Gerard were to just be stringing me along to just do something terribly crazy and break my heart, I'd deserve it. After all, I was sucking on his brothers face, in his house, when he was home, and we were about to go out. I still don't think I'm good enough for Gerard, no matter what he says. I mean, he has no reason to lie to me about the way he feels-unless of course he is a deranged lunatic who likes making people want to die, so he makes them go head over heals for him, then he dumps them on their face and lets them kill themselves…-and I want to believe him so badly, but I can't force myself to believe I'm good enough for someone like him.
Now that I think about it… I don't want Gerard to forgive me for what happened between Mikey and I… I want him to yell, and scream, and tell me he hates me for it. I don't want him to forgive me. Him telling me that he hates me with every fiber of his being would make my stupid decisions less of a burden. As much as I love being with Gerard, sometimes I think I'd be better off alone, because I constantly feel like sh*t for kissing Mikey back. I'd be able to leave in peace if Gerard finally told me what he really thinks.
"Lunch?!" Gerard said, snapping me out of my slightly depressing trance. He was being especially adorable today.
"Where?" I asked, grinning at how cute the bast*rd is.
"Duuuuunkin' Doughnuts?" He asked, knowing that had to be one of my favorites.
"Twist my arm." I said, and slipped my jacket on.
-time lapse-
Gerard and I sprinted through the doors, racing to the counter. I'm NOT going to let him pay, no, not this time. I'm determined to get ahead of him. I always felt like a mooch because he'd always get up there before me and pay, and I hated feeling like I was taking something from him.
He beat me up to the counter, took a breath, and considered his options for lunch. Hell no. I was going to order, and then pay, whether or not he liked it. I playfully shoved Gerard away from the counter, and my shove was returned his a small push from Gerard. Now, it seemed like Gerard and I had a bigger gap between us, I got a brilliant(for the situation, I'm not recommending you try this at a Dunkin' Doughnuts) idea.
"We want a-" I ran at him, and pushed him as far away from the counter as I could, making it nearly impossible for him to get back over here before I spat out an order without thinking.
"We want a breakfast bagel with eggs, cheese, and bacon on it. We would also like a glazed doughnut and two medium coffees." I panted, and handed the cashier whatever I had in my wallet.
"You should've let me pay, Frankie…" He mewled at me.
"No! I have done nothing but mooch, so now, I'm paying for it. And it's been paid for. So… Naaaah!" I said, sticking my tongue out at him.
"Fine, Franklin." He said, and I raised an eyebrow at him.
"H-Here's your change…" The guy said, and with a shaky hand, he gave it to me. "You can sit down… Someone will bring your food over to you."
"Okay." Gerard and I replied. I pulled Gerard over to a nice booth by a window. I wasn't a person who liked getting to much light, but today seemed like a nice day for that.
It seemed like my previous thoughts about wanting Gerard to say he hated me were fading. As bad as I felt for kissing Mikey, I couldn't live with myself if I'd made him hate me. I have so many mixed feelings about this.
Mikey kissed me, and I could tell that he was looking for a little more than a kiss. I didn't really like Mikey back I mean, of course, he's cute and all, but, he's not Gerard. Why did I kiss back? I can't figure this out… Was it just Mikey's approach, or was it just me? I'd hate to think it was me with the strange urges to make out with my boyfriends brother.
I wanted Gerard to hate me, and still love me and keep me around at the same time. All I wanted to know was that what I did could not and would not be tolerated, and it was my first chance.
Maybe instead of telling me that he hates me, he could tell me how badly I hurt him. As much as I didn't want to hear that, either, it still would've made me feel better.
I hated how much I always thought about this. It confused me, frustrated me, and hurt me all at the same time. I knew that with thinking about it came wanting to cry and have Gerard tell me; "No, Frankie. What you did was not okay. You deserve to cry." and then after a while have him come back, hold me and tell me everything was going to be fine.
From now on, I'm going to spend the rest of my life proving to Gerard that I love him, and that kissing Mikey was a huge mistake.
I hate being so all over the place about this. Now I need to get my mind off of it.
"So… How was your day, madear?" I asked, trying to take my focus off of my spinning head. It really wasn't working, so I placed the hand that was still intertwined with Gerard's on his leg.
"Just dandy, babe." He answer, smiling at me. I couldn't help but give him googily eyes. I loved it when he called me babe. I always felt like a stupid school girl after he did, though. A stupid school girl, in a good way.
"You guys had the breakfast bagel and a glazed doughnut, and the medium coffee?" I heard someone that wasn't Gerard ask. I paid absolutely zero attention, and kept staring at Gerard.
God! Why did he have to look like such a… Well… God?! I mean, people have told me I look nice before, but I look a mess compared to Gerard. His beautiful hazel eyes. His thin kissable pink lips. His black hair that is barley ever attended to but always looks just oh so perfect. His cute smile…
I was thrust out of my reverie when I heard someone say my name.
"Frank?" The voice said.
My first reaction was to look up. This person didn't seem worth breaking me out of my Gerard induced daze. They were just an employee. Then I noticed the persons figure, and I only knew one person who was that skinny and tall. Mikey.
"Mikey?" I asked back, giving him a hollow stare.
"Gerard?" Gerard interjected.
"O-Oh… I just d-didn't think you two would… Um… Get back together…" He said, with a tinge of pain in his voice and expression. I wonder why he was upset. Is he okay? Did I do something to offend him?
"Well… We did…" Gerard snapped in reply.
"Okay then… Um… Did you… Erm… Never mind." He said, almost slamming the food on the table. "See you 'round eight, kay, Gee?"
"Alrighty, Mikes." Gee said as Mikey hastily walked away from us.
Now, I was curious.
"So… He does still live with you?" I asked, trying to look nonchalant.
"Yeah. I really couldn't live by myself… after… Um…" He paused. What had he done? What did I do?
"After what…" I began, losing my cool.
"After I downed an entire bottle of aspirin." He said, trying to avoid my stare.
I couldn't think. The only thing that came to my mind was 'you did what?!' and I wasn't about to scream that in a public restaurant.
"You did what?!" I whispered without delay.
"I couldn't handle myself. Mikey and I were fighting for a long time… and I didn't have you in my life… and I wasn't sure what else to do…" He answered, causing me to inhale sharply.
Why would he do that?! Why?! He knows he's got a lot to live for, and I'm not-no one else is worth killing yourself. (I-however-am excluded from that rule.)
"Oh my god… Gerard…" I threw myself at him, and hugged him tightly, realizing that this is my fault. "I'm so sorry… That was all my fault…"
"No it wasn't… Don't blame yourself, Frankie." He appeased me, caressing my hair and pulling me closer. I didn't deserve this. I didn't deserve the warm embrace of such a kind, caring, beautiful man…
"B-But …" I sniveled.
He silenced me by pressing his index finger to my lips, and I did as the unspoken command had ordered.
"Frankie… Stop it. I'm still here. So are you. We're together, and that's how it's going to stay. Alright? I promise." He said, and I moved closer to him, if that was even possible.

Ok, It turns out I am an idiot!
I had a slight error in my Y position calculation, + instead of - (comes from c^2 - a^2 = b^2). I was so involved with thinking of all these other possibilities I overlooked a simple pythagorean theorem typo.
I re-ran my simulations with comparing to microsoft excel and the arduino answers are on average about 0.5mm off either direction with the worst case around 1mm error. This is well within the error of other parameters in my system so It is good enough for this application.
Thanks to all that answered and sorry for my massive loss of brain function!

Smother Me4 Reviews
Frank Iero lived with his father. His mother died while giving birth to him, and his dad became severely abusive and a major alcoholic. This meant that Frank had never experienced love, only witn...
This meant that Frank had never experienced love, only witnessed it.
That was until he met Gerard...
Frank sank into his chair, next to Ray, his best friend of 5 years.
'Hey Dude!' Ray was his usual cheery self.
In response Frank sniffled, he couldn't talk now, he had to calm himself down first.
His day had started worse than most today. He'd slept through his alarm and consequently been woken up by his father with a beating and a new fairly deep slash to his chest.
Frank deserved it though, or at least that's what he thought. If it wasn't for him, his mother would still be alive and his father would be happy.
'Frank, you okay. You look a little out maybe you should-'
Thankfully for Frank, Ray was cut off by Mrs Cross, their English teacher, calling the class to attention.
'SILENCE!' She screeched after being ignored three times. 'We have a new pupil joining us today, his name is Gerard Way and I want you to make him feel welcome. Would you like to introduce yourself Gerard?'
A thin boy with raven hair and pale white skin stepped out from behind her, shaking his head, shyly.
Frank noticed that he was wearing a Misfits hoodie, exactly the same as Frank's.
In fact his whole outfit was the same, black skinnys and all, apart from the fact that this new Gerard kid wore red Converse, rather than the black tatty old vans Frank had.
'Gerard, where would you like to sit?' Mrs Cross asked.
Gerard just hid behind his long hair and shurugged.
'Okay, Gerard let me re-word that, choose a person to sit next to...'
Gerard looked up shyly at Frank and slowly made his way over, before sitting down.
'Hey.' Gerard smiled shyly at Frank.
Frank smiled weakly back at him before looking down at his hands and blushing. He'd never felt this way before, like getting nervous when being spoken to. he also could't recognize the weird butterfly feeling in his stomach.
Was he ill? Was this what love felt like?
Either way, Frank couldn't wait for the summer, only a week and half away, Frank got the be on his own all day, while his dad worked. Frank needed to get over this feeling, he thought, he couldn't fall for a boy, he just couldn't!
AN// This is my first ever story. I would love it if you would rate and review. Critisism is welcome as long as it's constructive. Sorry it's short, it's kind of an intoduction...
Anyway, as i said, this is my first EVER!! Would you like more or is it so bad I should stop? thanks!
Chloe xoxo

@ Mike,
@ Mike,
Well you know, you could maybe open a vacancy for a European correspondent.
Last time I checked, Engadget has a couple and I'm pretty sure Joystiq and some of the Fanboy blogs do as well. So I see no reason why when you get (pay?) Big Red Kitty to write for you, you can't get a European to write as well.
Cultural diversity FTW.

We have separated ourselves from other animals and the environment in many ways, but that doesn't remove us from what we are.
We are emotional. At times simple, at others complex. We love, we get angry, we fuck. Mourn. Cry. Laugh. We create structures and narratives. We build and rationalize. We watch movies, sing songs, dance, do drugs. We forget and question. We try to do better, and we are still just animals.

I like this scent. I ordered the lotion and the EDT, and have not had a problem with the staying power at all. I do agree that their is a powdery note, but it fades quickly and leaves a soft raspberry sandalwood scent on the skin. It's very delicate, and never has a medicine-y smell, IMO. I like this one. BUT, for me, it was just passing through the night... I won't repurchase once I finish the supply I do have.

This smells like raspberry and a hint of coconut to me. It's very sweet. I dig it. The staying power isn't good so I spray a lot on head to toe, knowing the scent will fade shortly after I leave the house.
This scent in the VS Fantasies line does not deserve all the negative comments listed here. I like this scent and I find it quite intriguing. It does have a powdery note, which I admit I'm not so much a fan of, but once it dries down it has this delicious raspberry note that I love! Really good, and along with the Vanilla Lace, this is one of the best in the Fantasies line.
Great price, great scent!! I have the shower scrub, perfume (not body spray) and thick lotion in the tube. Love the combination. Packaging is nice, simple, elegant. Pricing is great when purchased as a the 5/$30 sale or something similar. Scent is great, fruity and rich. Would definitely buy again.
Victoria's Secret always has great 7 for $30 sales which allow you to mix and match between dozens of scents in their Garden Collection. I ordered a bunch of scents online and chose this one strictly for its description. The website claims it is a mixture of raspberry and sandalwood. Unfortunately, I can detect neither note. Instead, this body spray smells strongly of baby powder and not even the good kind. There's a rather noticeable plastic note somewhere in there too. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this fragrance especially if you're hoping for something fruity and delicious : (
This scent smells like sandalwood and baby powder to me! I'm not a fan of this at all.
I smelled this in the store multiple times since its release in late fall 2012 and it smells AWFUL. It seriously smells like medicine. I don't understand the appeal. It's the only Fantasy I truly dislike.
This body spray smells so good! It's a mix of raspberry and sandalwood - it's a very warm and fruity smell. This perfume has great sillage too. It last all day long, especially if you spray it on your clothing as well. It's similar to VS PINK fruity & bright that got discontinued, but it's stronger and is raspberry instead of blackberry. If you love a mixture of warm and fruity scents, I highly recommend this!

Chapter 52 Reviews
"Ah.... Amy...." I said helplessly, I was searching for words that might constitute as damage control but here, right now, still having Brendon holding me rather tightly to himself might just make the words useless. If I even tried to speak them they might as well just be like little pebbles bouncing off the shiny metal surface of a car. No impact at all.
Brendon murmered something that I couldn't quite catch but he didn't let me go. I could feel his thumb rubbing my arm. Amy definitely couldn't see the comforting gesture but it really made me feel better. Just the soft brush of his thumb across my arm felt nice, it made me feel like he understood the situation at hand.
"You.... You guys!" Amy-Lia finally managed to choke out in a tone of voice that almost sounded playful, to back up the playfulness of her statement she flicked her wrist haphazardly and plasted a little grin on her face. She was anything but playful though, I think both Brendon and I could see that. She may now have been playing with us. She wasn't so carelessly cheerful about this situation as she seemed on the surface.
"It's great to see you again Bren!" Amy-Lia exclaimed happily, she was practically bouncing as she shut the door behind her. She was beaming like this was a little tea party she'd set out to play with her dolls. The way she was reacting now made me even more scared then a temper tantrum would have. I knew how to deal with the tantrums, but not this.
"H-- Hey Amy." Brendon said uncertainly, shooting me a side glance that pretty much spoke louder then he could have shouted. He was hell confused, I could see that. I didn't have any answers to offer though because I was just as confused as he was.
"Amy, babe, what did you want me to look at today?" I finally managed to ask after a long pause, gesturing at the bright orange folder that she held. I didn't sound sincere, I could hear the falseness in my voice when I asked but I hoped that Amy-Lia wouldn't notice, either by choice or pure chance.
"Oh! This," She exclaimed, holding the folder out to me. "Is party plans."
"Oh, cool." I replied. I wasn't surprised. I took the folder from her grasp and flipped it open. As soon as I read the theme for the party I cringed. Talk about clichè. The theme for the party was 'Pimps 'N Hoes' and I was sure she'd attempted to pull off a party like that before, but hey, looks like she was trying the theme again. Brendon glanced at the sheet of paper in the folder and I saw him raise his eyebrows.
I didn't want Amy to hang around longer then she had to so I decided I would quickly fob her off with some reassurances that the party sounded great.
"Amy, I love this. It looks like you've pretty much got all the plans done." I said, slapping the folder closed so abruptly that Brendon jumped a little. I passed the folder back to her. "Looks like you don't need my help."
Amy-Lia grabbed the folder back off me and grinned. "Great! You've gotta come Parker." She said.
"When is it?" I asked. I didn't particularly want to go to a party that had such a tired, overworked theme and one that was being hosted by Amy, but if I at least put in an appearence then maybe it'd keep her happy.
"Tomorrow night."
"Tomorrow night?" Looks like Amy wasn't here for me to help her with the plans, just here to deliver an inadvertant invitation. There was no way she could book everyone/everything that she had on her party plan by tomorrow night so she'd probably already booked them all way in advance and didn't care if I told her the party was a good idea or not.
"Yep." She replied, rocking slightly on the balls of her feet. "You've gotta come."
"Sure, okay. I'll come." I sighed.
"Awesome!" She exclaimed. "You can come too Bren." She added, looking at Brendon expectantly.
"Yeah, okay. I'll come Amy. Sounds cool." He replied.
"Cool, cool." She said brightly. "This is gonna be awesome. Parkie and Brenny coming to my party! Rock on." She exclaimed giving a wholehearted cheer.
Brendon and I exchanged glances. This was insane. Amy-Lia was acting worse then usual.
"Okay, great, great. I'll see you both tomorrow night. Parker, you know where, so bring your boytoy and any other guests you can gather. Don't forget the theme!" She said opening the door and waving as she left closing the door sharply behind her.
"What was that?" Brendon asked with widened eyes.
"I have no fucking idea Brenny." I said exaggerating the horrid new nickname Amy-Lia had made up.
Brendon shuddered and then laughed softly. "Well Parkie we'll probably have to go to her party now. You'll have to bring along your boytoy, y'know."
Now it was my turn to shudder. Parkie and Brenny. Amy-Lia came up with some of the stupidest nicknames sometimes, ones that could only be thought about accompanied by a shudder.
"Looks like we might have to go this stupid party tomorrow Brendon. I'll be the pimp and you can be my hoe." I laughed cheekily and spun around to escape his grasp before he could grab me again.
"Thats what you think Parker. No way I'm gonna be your hoe, baby." He called after me as I made a dash for my bedroom with him chasing after me.
I had almost made it to my bedroom safely when Brendon caught up to me and grabbed me tightly around the waist and spun me around to face him.
"Gotcha." I grinned cheekily at me, bringing me closer until he could kiss me gently on the lips. "You know, instead of going out for a day, I think we should stay in." He grinned at me.
"Hmmm...?" I mumbled, waiting for him to continue to indulge me with his plan.
"And get to know each other properly. Since it was you who pointed out that we don't know each other."
I nodded slowly, biting my lip. "I see... That's what you think, hey?"
Brendon nodded, "Yeah, it is."
"Well, what happens if I don't want to?" I asked innocently.
"Well then I think I might just have to make you!" He exclaimed, picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder. I laughed and wriggled slightly, trying, but not really, to get out of his grip.
He carried me into my room and dropped me gently down onto the bed. I grabbed him by the shirt as I landed on the bed causing him to fall on the bed beside me. He let out a little grunt when he hit the mattress and then rolled over so he could face me.
"So how about you tell me your life story, since you probably already know mine." He said grinning at me.
I pulled a face. "What makes you think I already know your life story Brendon?"
"Don't tell me you've never Googled me."
"Nope, I haven't." I lied. Brendon just stared at me silently, trying to get me to spill the truth. Finally I cracked. "Okay, okay, so I've Googled you."
A smile spread across his face. "Makes us even."
I scoffed, "Google probably told you shit all about me."
He raised his eyebrows, taking what I had just said as a challenge.
"I know you were born on the 5th of October 1987 as Parker Abigail Lewis. You grew up in Chicago. I know your parents names are Patricia and Raymond Lewis. Your brother is called Fredrick. You used to have a cat called Macy. You used to play drums in a band called Rewind Die Massacre. You once broke your leg during a school play in grade two. Your favourite movie is A Clockwork Orange. You used to play with toy soldiers as a kid and melt them with cigarette lighters." He stopped to chuckle softly. "Uh, what else do you want to know about yourself?"
My mouth must've been slightly ajar because Brendon put his index finger on my chin and gently pushed my jaw closed. I blinked blankly a couple of times and then mustered up enough composure after being shocked at him knowing so much about me to offer him another challenge. "What else you got?"
Brendon took a deep breath like he was getting ready to rattle off more information about me when I pressed a hand over his mouth. "Okay, maybe I really don't want to know what else you know about me."
I didn't take my hand away from his mouth just in case he decided that he really did want to show me how much he knew about me. He adopted a puppy dog expression and looked at me with sad eyes, like he was begging me to take my hand off his mouth. I was just about to move my hand away when he licked me which caused me to pull my hand quickly away and rub it on the sleeve of his shirt.
"Ew, Brendon. That's disgusting."
"You should know you can't silence Brendon Urie." He laughed.
"I know that now." I shot back. "So Google can't have possibly told you all of that about me."
"A friend of mine knows your brother, Fred, sweetheart. Fred really loves to talk about you, did you know that?" Brendon said, lazily draping an arm over my hip.
"Rick just likes to talk about anything. I can't believe you know all of that about me though. I don't even know that much about you and it's you who's the oh-so-famous rockstar."
"Well you just have to ask the right questions." He replied simply.
"Okay well lets forget the getting to know you game now. I've learnt enough about myself for today." I said pushing closer to him so I could plant a kiss on his cheek.
"So what else did you have in mind Parker?" He replied returning the kiss on my cheek.
"We've got all day, lets see what we can come up with." I chuckled, wrapping my arms around him.
Authors Note: I think the ending to this chapter is a little bit of a cop out, sorry. Next chapter will have the rest of the boys in it and the party scene. Hopefully I'll have it written soon and it'll definitely be done by next weekend if I can get all of my assessment tasks for school done.

In the sea of nonprofit leaders, career organizers, and rabblerousers, one old man put the Mission's struggle into context, last night [Thu/28]. It was a majority Latino district even as recently as the '90s, he told the crowd gathered in St. John's Episcopal Church last night. But now: "Here in the Mission, I can count the Latinos on my hands."Read more »

December 30, 2011
A marathon shootout
affair that felt like it might never end eventually
did when Tyler Brown stuffed a five-hole push
in the 12th round for a 3-2 victory. Jason Bacashihua
held the Portland Pirates to one goal in 12 rounds
in his stellar performance for his second shootout
win of the year.
Denis Hamel had scored in the second round of
the shootout and both teams would squarely hit
the post twice on their way through the lengthy
post-overtime battle. But Justin Pogge and Jason
Bacashihua simply kept matching each other save-for-save
until Brown finally was able to break the long
Adirondack moved out of a tie in the conference
standings with Portland via the entertaining victory
and improved to 16-13-2 on the season as well
as 2-1 in shootout games.
The game featured much to be excited about for
the Friday night crowd at the Glens Falls Civic
Center including a penalty shot for captain Ben
Holmstrom with just 43 seconds remaining in regulation
with a chance to win it. Holmstrom was denied
on that opportunity, but they simply set the stage
for the drama to come including a terrific penalty
kill effort at the end of the third and into the
overtime to stay alive.
Tyler Brown came off the bench as the 12th Phantom
in the shootout to finally end the evening. The
rookie out of Wasaga Beach, Ontario comes to the
Phantoms from Plymouth of the Ontario Hockey League
where he had 25 goals last year. Brown only has
one goal this season with Adirondack, coming against
Portland back on October 21. His shootout winner
does not count as a regular goal on his statistics.
Jason Bacashihua made several dazzling saves in
the shootout going in pretty much every possible
direction. Included in his highlight-reel caliber
performance were a ninth round sliding stop to
his right with his blocker to deny Ethan Werek
and also a fine kick save with his left leg in
the 11th round on Michael Stone. Both saves were
necessary to keep the game going an give Brown
the chance to put it home in the 12th.
At first, it appeared the game was not destined
to go as long as it did as Adirondack raced out
to a 2-0 lead and appeared as though they were
on the verge of extending that advantage even
Mike Testwuide scored for the Phantoms in the
first period pushing a loose puck home on a scramble
in the crease. It was just the kind of goal with
traffic down low that head coach Joe Paterson
had been hoping to see more of from his team.
It was Testwuide's fourth of the year nicely set
up by an assist from Eric Wellwood. After starting
slowly out of the gates, Testwuide has once again
found the hot scoring touch with three goals in
his last four games.
Eric Wellwood extended the Phantoms lead to 2-0
with a power play goal from the right circle early
in the second period. The play was possible after
Erik Gustafsson's nice play keeping the puck in
the zone on the right point. For Wellwood, it
was only his second game back after missing over
a month with an injury. Gustafsson was playing
in his first game with the Phantoms since October
28. He had been with the Flyers but was sidelined
following wrist surgery in November. He was activated
from the injured-reserve earlier in the day and
made it to Glens Falls just a couple hours before
Much of the rest of the second period was spent
in the Portland zone including a couple of shifts
in which Portland looked like they were just barely
hanging on in their efforts to block everything
the Phantoms attackers were blasting at the net.
But the Pirates would finally mount a counter-strike
late in the second and back-to-back penalties
on the Phantoms allowed Ryan Duncan to score a
key 5-on-3 goal late in the second to get the
Pirates on the board.
Portland tied the score six minutes into the third
on Brock Trotter's nice backhand feed from the
right-wing corner with Ethan Werek crashing the
net, knocking into Bacashihua, and pushing the
puck in.
The game would stay 2-2 for the rest of regulation
and overtime but not without a fair amount of
drama and chances. Portland would have three power
play opportunities for the final 13 minutes of
the third but the Phantoms penalty kill would
scramble and battle and get the job done over
and over to keep the game tied.
Adirondack had a power play opportunity of their
own in the third but the Pirates would withstand
that too.
Both teams had some great chances in the overtime
with neither converting bringing the night to
the 12-round marathon conclusion and eventually
the exciting Phantoms win.
The victory ends the season series for the Phantoms
and the Pirates with Adirondack going 2-2 against
Portland. Shots on goal in the game were 28 for
Portland and 27 for Adirondack. The Phantoms were
1-for-3 on the power play while their penalty
kill played a gigantic role in the victory by
limiting the Pirates to 1-for-7 including three
huge kills down the stretch.

The Furious Flashbacks – Classic St Louis Wrestling Vol. 1

The Furious Flashbacks – Classic St Louis Wrestling Vol. 1
Highlights from the TV show Wrestling at the Chase featuring the likes of Bruiser Brody, Dick the Bruiser, Dick Murdoch, Harley Race, Ric Flair, Gene Kiniski and Pat O'Connor
When discussing territories and great episodic TV wrestling there's one territory and TV show that tend to pop up as much as any other; St Louis and Wrestling at the Chase. The St Louis territory was founded by Sam Mushnick. The legendary promoter was instrumental in the formation of NWA and during its early years St Louis Wrestling Club was the flagship promotion of the NWA. Wrestling at the Chase began in 1959 and continued until the early 1980's when Mushnick sold the promotion to Bob Geigel. It was eventually then sold to Jim Crockett and became part of WCW when that started up. Muchnick was unlike Vince McMahon and believed in fair play and honesty. When he retired from wrestling in 1982 it opened the door of opportunity to allow for the expansionist attitude of Vince McMahon and Jim Crockett. They never would have had that opportunity with a strong and united NWA. And it was united by Sam Mushnick. This series follows the antics of the Wrestling at the Chase TV show filmed at the Chase-Park Plaza Hotel in St Louis for nearly 25 years. Enjoy.
Host is Larry Matysik, a former St Louis commentator. He talks about Sam Mushnick and how exciting it was to work in St Louis. He takes us back to 1979. Host back then is also Larry Matysik. Only with terrible hair.
Gene Stevens v David Von Erich
Gene is working heel. David has been wrestling for about 2 years here and looks skinny as hell. He's never really piled on muscle but he's really thin back then. David was the one that died out in Japan and began the destruction of the Von Erich family. It was rumoured at the time that David was in line to defeat Ric Flair for the NWA title a few months after he died. That win eventually went to his brother Kerry as a tribute to the fallen David. Not much of that greatness showing here as Gene isn't much competition. David has moves Gene simply isn't prepared for. Like dropkicks. Gene works a really loose leglock showing his inability to tell a story in the ring. David, to be fair, should get out a lot easier than he does with a headscissors. Geez, he looks scrawny. Stevens doesn't look like he belongs in there as he botches a neckbreaker. David tries desperately to control the pace and use the ropes to good effect. He eventually gets a splash off the top Vaderbomb style for the win at 6.51. Yeah, that must be at least 110lbs coming crashing down there. Devastating. ¼*.
Billy Starr/Bryan St John v Bob Sweetan/King Kong Brody
Brody is Bruiser Brody and David Von Erich joins the commentary to single him out as the star in this match. Sweetan is quite good too and had some success around Kansas City in the late 70's. He's fast and can mat wrestle. Despite claims from Larry Matysik that St John is a "rising star" he gets manhandled with ease by Brody. Sweetan gets caught in a sunset flip called a "jack knife cradle" by Matysik. Interesting to see the different terminology in a different territory. Brody comes back in to beat up St John some more. The better duo have managed to keep St John isolated to the point where it takes him 5 minutes to get a tag. Starr comes in with a dropkick on Sweetan but Brody interferes and now Starr gets a beating. They're simply not in the same league. Brody is a little inexperienced here mainly using his size to dominate rather than his patented brawling. David is talking smack about Dick Murdoch on commentary, which is just ASKING for trouble. Oddly enough I'd love to see Murdoch kick him around the ring for a few minutes. Brody starts wailing on Starr and he doesn't look thrilled about Starr's underselling. Innovation from St Louis as there's a second referee on the floor to come in and stop cheating behind the other ref's back. The surprising thing about this match is how the Brody and Sweetan team just don't seem to be going for the win. They're just dominating and making frequent tags. Starr gets a hot tag and St John seems to be a real crowd favourite. He's looking for the win. No doubt about that as he slams Sweetan for 2. Starr back in but Brody tags in blind and just destroys him. Big powerslam and the kneedrop finishes at 13.01. **1/2. Fun formula tag although it was a little too one sided and Brody should have wrapped it up earlier.
POST MATCH Brody is asked about him missing a match with Andre the Giant and he claims it was car trouble and he's not scared of anybody. Brody gets asked about Dick Murdoch, who's a heel, and doesn't care for him either. Brody says Andre is living a dangerous life and taking on too much. Brody points out he beat Pat O'Connor, Jack Brisco and Terry Funk here in St Louis. So he won't sweat Andre and he issues a challenge to the winner of Murdoch v Andre.
King Kong Brody v Pierre Bonnett/Randy Alls
This is thanks to Brody saying he could beat any two guys let alone any one. Ted DiBiase joins commentary. Alls gets schooled on the mat so he tries for an Irish whip and gets that but Brody boots him in the face when he attempts to follow up. Bonnett comes in and he gets similar treatment just bouncing off the big man. Brody continues the abuse until he kneedrops Bonnett for the win at 5.10. ¼*. Just an absolute squash. Two squashes really.
POST MATCH Brody tells us Harley Race has it easy as world champion. Every one who challenges him gets beaten up by Brody calling Ric Flair "pretty" in the process. Harley had called him stupid the previous week but Brody says it doesn't matter how bright he is because he's the best. Brody calls Race the best world champion the NWA has ever seen but he's never faced someone with Brody's array of skills. He sure likes challenging folks, huh?
Bryan St John v Dick Murdoch
Murdoch's pre-match fucking around brings out Dick the Bruiser. He asks Bryan St John to step back. Murdoch gobs off at the Bruiser some more as Sam Mushnick tries to make peace. The Bruiser cuts a throaty interview challenging Murdoch to a match tonight for the Missouri title right now.
Missouri State title – Dick the Bruiser (c) v Dick Murdoch
Murdoch complains that this match is on free TV and the fans don't deserve it. He calls Sam Mushnick a crook and reluctantly gets in the ring. The Missouri State title dates back to 1934 although it was vacant between 1934 and 1947. Mushnick brought it back for historical reasons. It's also been inactive for many years in between. The Bruiser beat Murdoch for the title the previous summer. This really is old-timey wrestling as its two guys with beer guts, white hair and gravely voices wailing on each other. The Bruiser breaks out the stomach claw and he has plenty of target area to work on. Murdoch uses the tights to get out of the situation. Murdoch pounds away but Bruiser gets his foot on the ropes. Bruiser comes back with a series of speedy punches, impressive speed for his age, and the fight heads outside. Murdoch gets his head bounced off the "press table" that Matysik was sitting at. HE'S HARDCORE! Bruiser with a slam but this time Murdoch is too close to the ropes for a pin. Bruiser slams him again but refuses the pin this time because he's so pissed off with Murdoch's shit over the past few months. Bruiser is slammed again but the ropes save, again. Murdoch with a slam and Bruiser gets the rope but Murdoch sweeps it off and the ref misses it! Oooooooh, controversial! Murdoch gets the pin and the title at 8.18. **. Fun psychology with the slams. Bruiser only has himself to blame for the loss pulling Murdoch up when he was beat and making the challenge in the first place.
Missouri State title – Dick Murdoch (c) v Pat O'Connor
O'Connor is pretty old at this point in his career but he was NWA world champion between 1959 and 1961. He won that title in St Louis and remains a popular figure here as a result. When he lost the title to Buddy Rogers in Chicago it was in front of 38,000 fans and that was a record for a wrestling event for nearly 20 years. The wrestling here is much better than in the previous match with O'Connor's mat skills being significantly better than the Bruiser's. Murdoch is, interestingly enough, a match for him on the canvas. I've always found Murdoch was able to adapt to his opponents making him one of the most consistent performers of this era. Murdoch controls much of this match with some nice headlocks that keep O'Connor grounded. O'Connnor starts breaking out enormous hip tosses wowing the crowd. He works a spinning armlock, which is a new one on me but probably not on this audience. O'Connor has some weird looking armdrags too where he slides underneath in the process to make it more a leverage move and it's weird because it looks that much more realistic. Murdoch doesn't look like he's cooperating. Armdrags and hip tosses follow and the crowd seem to be enjoying them. It's taking a bit of getting used to. Murdoch pounds away with some forearms, which doesn't sit well with O'Connor who retorts with punches in the corner. All this looks realistic too. Murdoch positions the ref and chokes O'Connor without him noticing. Smooth. The distraction being the odd tug at O'Connor's tights to cover for the more obvious infringement. Murdoch's cheating leaves O'Connor struggling but he's also angry and uses that anger when he stamps on Murdoch's face. Murdoch tries for a shoulderblock but O'Connor sidesteps it and hooks a sleeper. Murdoch is almost out but he hauls O'Connor up and runs him head first into the buckle. O'Connor is bleeding slightly from that so Murdoch starts punching him in the cut. Dick the Bruiser runs in for the DQ because he's so offended by Murdoch's behaviour. That's strange booking there Pat. ***1/2. Great match. Just a pity there was no finish.
Sidenote – Pat was booking the St Louis territory in the late 70's for Sam Mushnick. Chances are that was his finish. Odd one.
POST MATCH Murdoch talks about how he's destined to be the NWA world champion. He points he beat Ted DiBiase with a brainbuster "right in the middle of the ring". "It was on the floor, Dick" – Matysik. "Someone moved the ring" – Murdoch. HAHAHA. Genius! Murdoch points out he's the Missouri State Champ and tells us Dick the Bruiser attacked him from behind like a low down cheat. He calls the Bruiser a stooge and says he'll defend the title against anyone ending the interview saying he'll piledrive Sam Mushnick in an alleyway after the show.
Mike Bowyer v Dick the Bruiser
Bowyer is one weird looking dude. He has a scouser perm and moustache, which means I cannot take him seriously at all. He's from out in California where he started out as ex-navy clean cut guy but then developed a hippy gimmick. He's better known as Mike Boyette. Here he just gets pounded around the ring and outside of it. Bruiser runs him in the ring post, drops a stomp off the top to the stomach (called an "atomic drop") by Matysik and that's enough for the pin at 4.40. ½*. Energetic squash.
King Kong Brody v Frankie Lane
JIP with Brody just taking Lane apart. As per usual he doesn't seem to care about winning the match and instead focuses on punishing his opponent. He even bites Lane in lieu of pinning him. Lane would be named after the successful jazz singer Frankie Laine. Lane manages to knock Brody over with a dropkick but that just pisses him off. Brody with a spinning slam and the Boston crab finishes Lane off.
Terry Funk v Tank Patton
JIP again with 10 minutes already passed by. Patton is a tough guy and wails on Funk allowing Terry to do some of his patented selling. Funk slingshots back over him with the sunset flip for the win.
Dick Murdoch v Steve Hall
JIP with Murdoch beating up Hall at ringside. It's clear that Hall isn't anywhere near Murdoch's league and is overpowered and outwrestled. Hall tries to fight back so Murdoch punches him in the face, STIFF, three or four times. You don't fuck with Captain Redneck! Brainbuster finishes in short order.
Leilani Kai v Joyce Grable
JIP again. Kai is quite famous and has since competed for the WWF and WCW. This is right at the start of her career maybe 3 years in so she looks young for a change. Kai takes a couple of big bumps and she's wrestling barefoot. Grable breaks out a few hairmares into a rolling pin that goes over the top of the referee. One of the fans enthusiastically counts 3 in the ref's absence. The ref berates both girls despite the fact it was his fault for getting in the fucking way like the stupid old git he is. Kai stops having fun and starts kicking Grable in the legs. Grable misses a dropkick and nearly gets pinned. Leapfrog into a roll up sees Grable gets the popular win. That was fun stuff. Shame the ref couldn't keep up.
Pat O'Connor/Joyce Grable v Bob Brown/Suzette Ferrara
JIP. This would be the first ever mixed tag in St Louis history and quite possibly the first mixed tag anywhere. Actually forget that, I found one older on YouTube after a little research. Grable does a great spot where she jumps on O'Connor's back while he's being headlocked and slaps Brown in the mouth. This is 20 minutes in according to the ring announcer Mickey Garagiola. O'Connor is his usual reliable self grounding Bob Brown. Fans of Stampede probably know Brown who worked there as a colour commentator. They go for a reverse spot of the back jump slap but Suzette jumps on Bob but O'Connor moves and Brown just falls over. Haha. Joyce jumps in there quickly and hits a neckbreaker on Suzette for the pin.
Dick the Bruiser v Armando Rodriguez
JIP with the Bruiser mangling Armando around ringside and disrupting the announce table. The Bruiser hits his usual stomp off the ropes but doesn't want to pin. He's a real jerk, isn't he? Dick with a piledriver that the producers somehow manage to miss. It's not rocket science fuckheads. The Bruiser gets the pin. That was terrible. At least it was only a few minutes of clips.
Harley Race v Pierre Lefevre
Dick the Bruiser is out here to eye up Race. Harley is having a tune up before defending the NWA title against Dick the Bruiser next week. Dick, again acting like a total jerk, decides to try on the NWA title. Race nearly gets upset by Lefevre. Dick the Bruiser isn't happy because he doesn't want anyone else to beat Race until he does. This guy is a complete asshole. Race hits a back suplex with a bridge for the win.
POST MATCH Dick the Bruiser can't even remove the title he just stole. Race tries to piledrive and the Bruiser just about backdrops out without losing his wrestling trunks. He then stands with one foot on Race's chest like the complete jerk he is. How was this asshole ever a babyface? He's worse than Hogan!
Ted DiBiase v Mike Bowyer
Hey, need a jobber? Hire Mike Bowyer! He bounces off DiBiase generally making him look good. DiBiase with a powerslam into the Figure Four for the win.
Ric Flair v Pat O'Connor
DiBiase on commentary. O'Connor is bleeding again here but it doesn't suit Dick the Bruiser to run in and act like a jerk in this one. Maybe he was too busy felating himself. They pronounce DiBiase differently here. They're calling him "DeeBeeAss". Flair takes O'Connor's knee and just dismantles it before slapping on the Figure Four. Pat turns himself over showing his flexibility. Eventually he turns the hold over and they roll into the ropes. They get back up and spill over the top. O'Connor takes a header into the ring post. Flair styles and profiles. He stops off to tell Ted that "your old man was nothing, you're nothing" and slaps him. Ted jumps in the ring and for a brawl and you'd better believe that's a DQ. I bet the whole match is pretty good and DiBiase-Flair was probably something too. Flair looked a class apart to everyone else on this tape during his few minutes here. A few undercard heels run in to hold DiBiase for Flair but babyface jobbers run in to break it up. Oh, it's a pull apart pier sixer.
Ted DiBiase v King Kong Brody
Rocky Johnson, The Rock's father, is on commentary. DiBiase is still young at this point around a 4-year pro and a fixture in Mid-South. Brody beats the crap out of him but DiBiase takes everything Brody has to dish out. DiBiase with a sunset flip for 2. He starts punching at Brody and catches him with a dropkick. Ted tries for the Figure Four but Brody is too strong and holds him off. Ted manages to get a spinning toehold so Brody kicks him off over the top rope. The brawl continues on the floor destroying the announce position and wiping out everything that isn't nailed down. Unfortunately they're both counted out because that was an intense brawl.
Ted DiBiase/Paul Orndorff v Harley Race/Bob Brown
This is to show how Ted was getting up to the level of world champion Harley Race. Matysik runs through Race's versatility and how many finishing holds he has. We clip ahead to the heels working Ted over. Harley tries for a piledriver on the floor but Ted backdrops out. Clip ahead again to Ted and Race going toe to toe. Orndorff gets a tag and cleans house. Orndorff gets a near fall with a kneedrop as the time limit approaches. Race goes for a piledriver on Orndorff but he backdrops out of it too. Orndorff is picked off for more tag formula. Ted gets the hot tag and backdrops Brown. Race tags in blind and forearms Ted in the neck. They switch standing and Ted hits a German suplex for the pin on the NWA champ. This looked really energetic albeit formula in the clips shown.
Harley Race v Gary Young
Race is in the midst of his 2nd title reign. After this he made a point of dropping the title to other guys in the territories to give them short runs (Dusty Rhodes, Giant Baba, Tommy Rich) to pop the local crowds. Young isn't much of a challenge for him. Sadly this isn't clipped. It's the entire match and it's effectively a squash to show how good a champion Harley Race was to big up Ted DiBiase's victory in the previous match. I'd have put these two matches in a different order. Young nearly gets beaten by a neckbreaker and his sliding kickout is really nice. Apparently he was trained by Pat O'Connor. Stalling suplex finishes Young off though. ¼*. El Squisheroo.

Roger Kirby v Kevin Von Erich
Kirby is a weightlifter and powerhouse. Kevin is the one Von Erich who didn't die. He just retired in 1995 instead, leaving behind a fine legacy sadly overshadowed by his tragic family. After all when I've asked wrestlers "who's your favourite Von Erich?" the most common response is Kevin. Because I drink heavily the only one I can clearly remember stating this opinion is the Amazing Red but that has to count for something. Here they run a nice power v skill thing. Kevin outwrestles Kirby but Kirby uses his power to drive Kevin into the corner. While this is entirely illegal Kirby is a heel so he doesn't care. Kevin keeps working at the basics though with armdrags and headlocks. Kevin also has more guts and goes toe to toe with punches before breaking out a dropkick and a flying headscissors. OLD SCHOOL LUCHA~~! Matysik compares Kevin to Joe Stecher because of his leg power. Stecher used to finish people with the bodyscissors although that was during a time when wrestling wasn't worked. Kevin seems to have a far greater range of stuff than Kirby can deal with and he gets thrown by an assortment of elbow drops and striking. Kirby blocks the Iron Claw though because that's one thing you always watch out for when wrestling a Von Erich. So Kevin goes for the stomach claw instead, which I've always thought looked stupid but if the fans bought it then why not? While they roll around in that the time limit expires. **1/4. That was fun. Kevin was a great wrestler. Way ahead of his time.
King Kong Brody v Bill Nixon
Nixon is a pretty big guy. Stout. But Brody makes him look small by comparison with his 6' 6'' frame and 302lbs. His knee is taped up here but Brody is totally dominant without worrying about it. Nixon is not only outsized but also outmatched by Brody's wrestling skill. Brody continues to dominate taking out his frustrations on Nixon. The idea is that Brody is frustrated with his lack of opportunities at Harley Race so he's challenged Andre the Giant to prove himself. Brody manhandles Nixon around the ring just imposing his will whenever he feels like it. Nixon's selling leaves a lot to be desired due to his enhancement talent tag. You'd think they'd get someone who could at least sell. He has the nerve to strike at Brody, which gets him mangled and kneedropped. Brody doesn't even want the pin. He adds a further beating and another kneedrop finishes at 5.46. ½*. Total squash but it was fun watching Brody just decimate a jobber.
Larry Wright v Gene Kiniski
This is the earliest work I've seen from the legendary Kiniski. He was world champ from 1966-1969 so this is some time after his prime. Wright is in horrible shape and has an attempted comb over. Kiniski isn't in any mood to let him get anything. Kiniski stomps on his face and controls with an armbar. Kiniski decides to take Wright to school with one fast mat hold after another. Even with Wright blowing practically every bump he takes Kiniski still makes this watchable. Kiniski continues to control tying up Wright whenever he feels like it. Wright's bumbling selling gets worse as Kiniski threatens to remove his arm. Wright has the temerity to strike at Kiniski. Awww, he thinks it's a contest! Kiniski gets slightly more violent by wailing on him and taking the leg. Wright looks like a wounded bird while Kiniski is a cat toying with him. This is just total domination. And a carry job to boot. Kiniski looks like he's having fun jogging around to work on his cardio. Wright manages a headlock for a few seconds. Kiniski is laughing in there I think. He doesn't even try to escape. He just stops cooperating. Come on Gene, finish him off! Wright finds himself face down with his arms tied up and Kiniski legdrops his face into the mat repeatedly. Kiniski is forced to break it and jogs around the ring twice before kneeing Wright in the head. Kiniski decides to show Wright he can bump too by taking an armdrag. That's all Wright is getting as Kiniski pops back up and hits a backbreaker for the pin at 11.08. *. Amazing how Kiniski just let it go that long because he wanted it to. Wright was more like a bag of potatoes than an opponent. Kiniski totally, and I mean totally, dominated the entire match.
The 411
: Shame the second half is all clips. I really enjoyed the story with Dick Murdoch and the Missouri State title. All the stuff with him, Dick the Bruiser and Pat O'Connor was entertaining. Although I sided more with the heel Dick Murdoch. Wrestling at the Chase had a great atmosphere and if you've never seen anything from there it's the kind of thing you have to check out as a wrestling fan. Great to see such legends in action as Bruiser Brody, Dick Murdoch, Harley Race, Ric Flair, Gene Kiniski and Pat O'Connor. Thumbs just about up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some "quick facts" about the proposed parking partnership.
1. What Will Happen To Rates?
The private operator has NO authority to set rates.
- CBD - Stays at $2/hour initially. The rates will increase by 25¢ approximately every 3 years.

- No initial change to first hour or monthly rates
- Middle hours will increase to be closer to, but still below, market
There would be no rate increases until technology upgrades are complete.
Future increases would be capped at greater of 3% or CPI annually (25¢-increments for meters).

20. Biomedical Science major at Grand Valley State University. Stressing over life. Lover of rock/metal.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I'm completely upset by this fact. Dammit all.
Stone Sour - Hate Not Gone
"Your lack of self control is all you know
It's over now, but you can't let it go
You can't begin to know the lives you hold
My Hell is running cold
This hate is not gone
You make me wanna start a war
Because you waited so long
You don't know what you're fighting for
I know this hate is not gone
You have no right to be here"
Slipknot - Everything Ends
"Shallow skin I can pain with pain
I mark the trails on my arms with your disdain
Everyday is the same - I love, you hate
But I guess I don't care anymore
My flaws are the only thing left that's pure
Can't really live, can't really endure
Everything I see reminds me of her
God I wish I didn't care anymore
The more I touch, the less I feel
I'm lying to myself that's it's not real
Why is everybody making such a big fucking deal
I'm never gonna care anymore?"
Stone Sour - Unfinished
"While my hands are tied behind my back - you save the best, and put me last
I've given up on giving you my heart
I fucking hate it, you're jaded, think about all the times we faked it
And realized that we tore this place apart
But there's no, reply from you
No matter what I do, I'll never get away from you
We're not finished"
Totally forgot about this and it's not really that interesting to many people, but when I saw Stone Sour at the Deltaplex in Grand Rapids last April on the 1st ever Avalanche tour, Corey Taylor's mother and grandmother were there. And I was standing next to them. It was really cool so see the women who turned him into the man that he is today.
And that is my lame/interesting story of the day.
There are a TON of badass Stone Sour, Avenged Sevenfold, and Disturbed shots. I feel like Tumblr needs to be graced with the awesomeness that is these shots. Also, I got some really close shots from when I met Stone Sour.
What does Tumblr think?

Okay here is the story: I saw this Honda on the side of the road pulled over by 2 cops. Then, as I got next to it, the Honda peels out and leaves the cops in the dust. I then saw the cops run back to their cars and engage in the pursuit.
Thats when I started the camera

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Billy Butler hit a run-scoring single in the first inning to reach 100 RBIs for the first time and the Kansas City Royals beat the Cleveland Indians 5-3 on Saturday night. Butler also doubled twice in his 53rd multihit game, raising his batting average to .312. He became the first Royals player to drive in at least 100 runs since Carlos Beltran had 100 RBIs in 2003. Alcides Escobar doubled in Jarrod Dyson, then scored on Butler's base hit to give Kansas City a 2-0 lead in the first. Cord Phelps hit a two-run homer for Cleveland, which has dropped 11 of 14. The Indians have the worst record in the majors since the All-Star break at 18-49. Royals rookie Will Smith (6-8) allowed two runs and eight hits in seven innings to improve to 2-4 with a 4.54 ERA in his last six starts.

Great for tank
posted 6 years ago
I use this product for the saftey and comfort of my fish. Anytime a prodcuct is placed in the tank I believe that it helps the tank and the lives of the fish.
Pros: Very easy to use
Cons: Can only guess that it is as effective as suggested
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.
Did you?
Keeps fish alive forever...Well, almost forever
posted 6 years ago
I have been using Tetra Aqua-safe, along with Tetra EasyBalance in my 90 gallon freshwater tank for several years.... only other chemicals I use are SeaChem neutral regulator and baking soda. since using the Tetra products I am convinced that my fish are living longer....even the more "fragile" species such as the tetras and neons seem to last forever...used to be I could not keep them alive more than 6 months..if that.... I am positive that these two Tetra products have been beneficial....
Pros: best product I have found
Cons: none

Did you?
More slime, less stress
posted 6 years ago
Tetraaqua Easy Balance is a liquid that, when added to aquarium water, helps promote healthy fish coating (slime) and helps reduce stress on aquarium fish. I use it for peace of mind, to make sure our goldfish is kept healthy. It really does seem to deliver what it promises.
Pros: easy to use
Cons: have not found any

The venue falls to darkness punctuated by camera flashes, accompanied by the sound of screaming that only grows in pitch as Big Time Rush's set time approaches. The music starts before they appear. They begin with "Elevate", the title song from their second album. The entire set is more than just four boys standing on a stage with synchronized dance moves, and there is an edge of excitement in their eyes that never really leaves. The band performs for about an hour and a half, running through a set that ranges from fast paced songs to an acoustic interlude, and plays each song with the same energy as the last.
Big Time Rush has grown as a band. Although writers hired by Nickelodeon wrote the band's first album, they were granted more creative freedom over their 2011 album Elevate, and their upcoming release, 24/7.
Bands like Big Time Rush, who originate from television stations such as Nickelodeon, can only rely on those stations for so long. Allstar Weekend gained much of their success after being contestants on Radio Disney's Next Big Thing. Soon after that experience, they signed to Hollywood Records. Their music videos were often shown on commercials on Disney Channel and they released a cover song for Disneymania 7, an album of new artists covering classic Disney songs.
In January 2012, they departed from their label, believing it was preventing the band's development. With the release of "Not Your Birthday," it became obvious that Allstar Weekend had started to take a new direction. That August, the band signed to Universal Music Canada. On the Glamour Kills 2011 tour, it was obvious they were trying to make a new impression by working with artists not normally associated with Disney, such as The Ready Set, The Downtown Fiction and We Are The In Crowd. Most recently, Allstar Weekend announced that they will be playing Warped Tour 2013 as a new band with a new name and a new sound but the same members.
Although Allstar Weekend did try for a new sound while still a part of Disney, it seems the name "Allstar Weekend" held them back. The album All The Way showed more musical and lyrical maturity than their previous efforts. It was more than just a poppy sound. Songs such as "Blame it On September" focused on relationships ending and life moving on. They were sick of being seen as that band from the Disney Channel. They wanted a new image and the only way to do this was to start over almost completely.
Most artists that are highly associated with these television channels may gain a lot of publicity, but in the end are left branded with "Disney" or "Nickelodeon" labels. The public's initial reaction is to write these bands off as "children's music" or even "jokes." It is easy to think that these television stations do almost all of the work for them but this is not true. It does give them a name in popular culture, but the bands are often overlooked and accused of not working as hard, or accused of having all of their music written for them.
Other artists renown from Disney fame include Demi Lovato, The Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus. Most of these artists have moved on from their days at Disney but their humble beginnings will never be forgotten by the public. These artists work twice as hard to make up for the limitations posed by television fame. Allstar Weekend cited their label preventing them from touring internationally as one of the reasons they left. Big Time Rush has had trouble promoting their albums and television show in the past.
It isn't a secret that Nickelodeon has neglected promoting its shows in the past, and lately has been focusing on its love for One Direction instead. One Direction bring high ratings, and it is rumored that Nickelodeon rigged its Kid's Choice Awards against Big Time Rush. An online poll showed Big Time Rush had won by a landslide for Best Musical Artist, but when the awards were announced, One Direction were named as the winners.
"Television musicians" arguably have more to prove than most other artists. They have something to say and have to work past different boundaries and creative differences with labels to get those ideas out. They all have a message, all work just as hard to plan and promote tours, and just like everyone else, they want to be recognized for their hard work. Not many of them have it as easy as people may think and it is difficult to outgrow any image, especially one that is imposed by society.

COLONIE, N.Y. -- Colonie Town Supervisor Paula Mahan had an opportunity Thursday to let the community know what is going on in the town and what is to come for the upcoming year.
She says in her fourth term as Town Supervisor she's focusing on infrastructure and economic development.
And with a solid financial status, she says the town has been moving more aggressively to rebuild Colonie's infrastructure and improve the quality of life.
This year the town will make a major renovation of Sand Creek Road from Norbrick Drive east to Everett Road. Also, there are plans to make improvements to various water and sewer systems, including the Mohawk View Treatment Plant to make sure waste water is being properly disposed.
Other plans include enhancing the quality of life for residents; Mahan says the town's second dog park will be opening this spring.
Another big focus the town supervisor has stressed every year, and again for 2014, is redevelopment. She says the two major projects, the Shoppes at Latham Circle and the Starlite site have been moving along slowly, but it will happen.
As for the Tobin site, she says there may be an interested buyer to turn the meat packing plant into a casino, but she personally does not think it's a right fit for that neighborhood.
Despite all the positive news Mahan expects for the upcoming year, she and Town Board member David Rowley agree there are still challenges like rising costs.
Moving forward the town supervisor says she will continue to be fiscally conservative as she says it's served Colonie well for the 6 years she has been in office.

When I was in graduate school, a senior director in my ministry gave a testimony about taking day-long quiet days with God. It was such a great talk I invited him to give it 2 more times to 2 different groups. But one thing he said has stuck in my craw ever since becoming a mom. His daily prayer involved showing up 45 minutes before the first appointment of the morning and having a quiet time in a nearby park or coffee shop.As I've borne 3 kids and tried to work part-time throughout … [Read more...]
The Gift of an Hour
Last Friday our house was T-P- ed. The 2 girls and I drove home at 8:30 pm to find toilet paper streamers hanging from trees, wrapped around the front railings and strewn over our new sod. Shaving cream squiggles decorated the sidewalk along with a couple feminine hygiene products (new and used--eew!). Not our house--Ling took pictures, but I don't have them!A sinking feeling hit my gut--who hates us so much that they would do this? Who have we unwittingly offended? My thoughts … [Read more...]

To Save a Life
Last night our family watched To Save a Life, an indie Christian movie aimed towards high school students. When we watched Soul Surfer back in Hawaii, there was a preview for this movie, the kids begged to see it, and luckily Netflix offered it. Generally I don't prefer "Christian" art. Too often, it isn't very good art--trite, simplistic, sentimental. More concerning, I often don't recognize the faith the art espouses or recognize the God it serves, even though I've been … [Read more...]
