Submit your best work for a chance to win freelance contracts and prizes.
A wonderful day on Lake Hopatcong with great food and friends in Byram cove. Invited on a friends boat we spent time cruising around the lake having lunch then a stop in Byram cove to chill. The weather forecast was good with a chance of thunder storms passing to the north. After some time we started cruising around Lake Hopatcong checking out the sites. The sky darkened and the storm came our way chasing us to the southern part of the lake . I guess the weatherman was wrong about the storm staying to the north. After getting pelted with hail and rain the sun came out an the sky was as you see in the picture. The owner of the boat saw the sky and asked to get my camera back out and take the picture . We heard on the news that night there was power out in the areas of Roxbury & Randolph. Taken with an Olympus EPL2 & a 9-18 wide angle lens in between the rain drops.July 18, 2012 Like Add a Comment

I need a TED icebreaker video! How do I get someone hooked?
I strongly feel like exposing high school and college students could really change our future, because we are the future. I find, however, showing someone a video with someone talking about statistics or dependence on oil doesn't particularly peak the interest of most of my fellow students. I need a talk that is exciting or up-beat or something! I want to get my generation's foot in the TED door. Maybe we can start spreading all of these "ideas worth spreading"!

Governor Michael Stanley Dukakis (D-MA)
Michael Dukakis was born into a Greek-American family in Brookline, Massachusetts in 1933; he became a Massachusetts state legislator in his 20's, the state's Lieutenant Governor in his 30's and Governor in his early 40's – he went on to serve an unprecedented three four-year terms as Massachusetts Governor, gaining a reputation for strong fiscal management and progressive social programs. He sought and won the 1988 Democratic Presidential nomination against a primary field including the scandal-prone favourite Senator Gary Hart (D-CO), the Reverend Jesse Jackson (D-IL) and future Vice President's Senator Al Gore (D-TN) and Senator Joe Biden (D-DE).
Dukakis and running-mate Senator Lloyd Bentsen (D-TX) lost the 1988 Presidential election to sitting Vice President George H.W. Bush (R-TX) and Senator Dan Quayle (R-IN) following an ugly campaign which featured the now-notorious "Willie Horton" attack-ad, a bad photo-op involving a tank helmet, and a slam-dunk VP debate moment. Since his gubernatorial term expired in 1991, Dukakis has taught politics at Northeastern University, UCLA and Harvard's Kennedy School. In the early 1990's he and his wife Kitty spent 5 months in Melbourne as a guest of the state government.
Here, Michael Dukakis speaks candidly about what it took to win the 1988 Democratic nomination, what it was like to run for the Presidency, and how a double-digit opinion poll lead over George H.W. Bush in August was turned into a crushing Electoral College defeat in November. Dukakis also talks about the lessons of more recent Presidential campaigns, the emergence of the internet and resurgence of grassroots organising in the Obama campaign.

John Barron: Governor, what do you consider when you decide to run for the Presidency of the United States; it seems like quite a remarkable thing for somebody to do...
Michael Dukakis: You know everybody comes at this in different ways I suppose John. In my case I never really thought of it – I was in my second term as governor, we were doing a lot of stuff around here, we were having a great run in Massachusetts, we had taken a state that was literally an economic and fiscal basket-case and turned it around, and I was looking forward to my third term... I was running and ran for a third term in the fall of '86 and then the Iran-Contra scandal hit us – and we had this unbelievable spectacle of the President and the Vice President deliberately deceiving Congress and breaking the law and documents being shredded in the basement of the White House and I was just appalled. And it was only then really that I began thinking about this and then spent some three or four months thinking about it, talking to people whose judgement I respected and finally decided I would give it a go.
At the time I was at zero in the polls – it wasn't that I hadn't been a reasonably effective governor – I was reasonably well-known for that but the general public didn't know me. And so I went out and ran with a grassroots campaign with a heavy emphasis on Ohio (Iowa) and New Hampshire but by no means exclusively that – and was off to the races. But it's a decision that you don't make lightly and remember at the time we were still in the middle of the cold war although Gorbachev was clearly showing signs, I thought, of being something quite different from what we had had in the Soviet Union and you don't make a decision to run for the Presidency in a couple of minutes; I mean this is a major thing, you consult with your family – if just one member of my family had said 'dad I don't want you to do it' I would not have run. If one of my kids had still been in High School I would not have run – nothing against the folks who have young kids, I think they have done very well – but I wouldn't have done that. So there are lots of considerations and I just happened to be at a point in my life and my political career when things seemed to combine to support the decision, and I did ... I did a great job in the primary and unfortunately screwed-up the final.
John Barron: Is it fair to say Governor that when you were looking at what was going on in the White House in '86-'87 that you decision to run was about saying 'I don't want George H.W. Bush to become President' – because that was the expectation...
Michael Dukakis: I just wanted the whole gang thrown out of there because they were the people who had given us what we were seeing [Iran-Contra] and this disregard for the law [was something] that I found abhorrent. Now I was also obviously not a fan of [President Ronald] Reagan's economic policies and it was also very clear even though there was a bit of an up-tick in the economy in 1988 that sooner or later running the government on a credit card was going to bring us to grief – and in point of fact it did shortly after Bush defeated me and took over as President. So I was not happy about those domestic policies and I was appalled at this notion that somehow the President of the United States could somehow disregard the law, disregard the constitution and continue to involve us in an illegal war in Nicaragua and at the same time be dealing with the Iranians and the Iraqi's in this terrible Iran-Iraq war and supporting both sides – although more the Iraq side under Saddam Hussein – I mean the whole thing just struck me as such a corruption of the values of what this country stands for that I thought 'Well, I may not be the only guy that can do it, but I'm going to give it a shot.'
John Barron: Is there a certain amount of soul-searching that you go through when you ask 'do I really want that level of responsibility to be having the (nuclear hotline) Red Phone in the office – or once you've been a Governor is it not such a great step to think 'I could go all the way to the White House'?
Michael Dukakis: No, no, no, no... I don't think anybody is his right mind would make this decision without thinking very, very seriously about what you've talked about; do you want to have that responsibility? Can you execute that responsibility? I mean this is a big job – I loved being Governor and I think I was a pretty effective governor but this (the presidency) is something far beyond that. So not only did I do a lot of soul-searching but I spent a lot of time talking to people whose judgements I respected, folks who had worked in previous national administrations and in many cases I simply said 'do you think I can do the job?' – and I was very serious about asking that question and I said to them 'I don't want you to give me an easy answer, you know me, you know the jobs – give it to me straight – do you think I can do it?'
John Barron: Can you give us a sense of the grassroots campaign you embarked on in the 1988 primary and caucus season and how you managed to win the nomination?
Michael Dukakis: I won the nomination with a very good primary campaign which strongly emphasised locally-based organisations and a lot of canvassing door-to-door and that kind of thing. That was the way I had got myself elected to minor local office, to the state legislature and to the Governorship itself. And it worked extremely well for us – unfortunately we listened too much to all those campaign consultants who said 'in the final election it's all money and media and that kind of stuff' – and I made a very serious mistake in listening to that. I did not do that well in the final, had I done so, I could have won that thing.
Obama's campaign was the first campaign in decades where the campaign organisation was serious about organising in every one of the 50 states at the precinct level. Now, what does that mean? Well it's not too complicated, it means the precinct captain and six block captains personally connecting with every single voting household – not once; four times six times... getting to know these folks. These are people who need to be in the precinct, look like the precinct, live the precinct, walk and talk the precinct – I'm am sorry to say the Democrats have not mounted that kind of campaign in a final Presidential election at least since Jack Kennedy. And in this day and age, especially with the Press as dispersed as it is and with all that we know about the internet and so on, the only way that you can guarantee that you are making contact with voters is to walk up to their front door and knock on it and that's what a precinct organisation has to do.
The mistake I made was not responding to the Bush attack campaign – just a terrible mistake. I am a positive guy and I thought somehow we'd brush that stuff of but you can't – if the other guy is coming at you and questioning your patriotism and your values you've gotta respond.
Voice Over: "Bush and Dukakis on crime; Bush supports the death penalty for First-Degree murderers, Dukakis not only opposes the death penalty, he allowed First-degree murderers to have weekend passes from prison - one was Willie Horton [mug shot of black man] who murdered a boy in a robbery, stabbing him 19 times – despite a life sentence, Horton received ten weekend passes from prison. Horton fled, kidnapped a young couple, stabbing the man and repeatedly raping his girlfriend. Weekend Prison Passes – Dukakis on crime." – 1988 Republican Campaign Commercial.
John Barron: Governor you talked about the mistake of not responding to the Bush campaign attacks – it was very similar to something [1972 Democratic Presidential nominee] Senator George McGovern (D-SD) said to me – he has seen this happen time and time again – what was your thinking; was to respond to the attacks to dignify them, to engage with them?
Michael Dukakis: Well it's an interesting question and [2004 Democratic Presidential nominee] John Kerry had the same problem. Here was a genuine war hero, who had not only put his life on the line but had saved the lives of other American troops, personnel, folks that he had served with – running against a guy [President George W. Bush] who was reading ready magazines in Alabama whose running mate [Dick Cheney] who is the biggest draft-dodger in American history.
Voice of Lt. John Kerry in 1971 appearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee: "They had personally raped, cut of ears, cut off heads..." Voice of Vietnam Veteran Joe Ponder: "The accusations John Kerry made against the veterans who served in Vietnam was [sic] just devastating... and hurt me more than any physical wounds I had."Kerry:"Cut of limbs, blow up bodies..." Vietnam Veteran and POW Paul Galanti:"John Kerry gave the enemy for free what I and many of my comrades in North Vietnam in the prison camps took torture to avoid saying... it demoralised us..." – Swift Boat Veterans For Truth.
Michael Dukakis: I think John [Kerry) and the folks around him perfectly understandably said 'this thing isn't going to get traction this Swift Boat thing, so preposterous, nothing but a pack of lies' – but the press picked it up and started running these ads as part of their news stories and the Bush campaign very cleverly denied they had anything to do with that – and if you believe that you believe in the tooth fairy – of course they had something to do with that, and the Kerry campaign did not respond quickly and forcefully and put responsibility for the Swift Boat campaign squarely in the lap of George W. Bush. And that's what you have to do. You can't let these folks get away with these so-called 'Independent Committees' and folks they have no connection with which of course is preposterous. It hurt John [Kerry], hurt him badly. And after my experience and Kerry's experience I don't think any Democratic nominee will ever let that happen again, and Obama certainly didn't.
John Barron: Can you tell us about choosing a running-mate; Senator [Lloyd] Bentsen?
Michael Dukakis: Well he turned out to be a terrific running-mate and had I run a better national campaign he well could have made the difference because the contrast between him and Dan Quayle was so clear. But you have to put in place a process chaired by somebody in whom you have great confidence that reaches out to as many people as possible, invites suggestions from anywhere and everywhere and gradually narrows that list down until you get down to what was in my case was a final four. They were John Glenn - the Senator from Ohio, Lloyd Bentsen, Al Gore and [Representative] Dick Gephardt (D-MO) – all very good people. We then put together teams of lawyers and accountants – one team per candidate – and they went into the details of these folk's personal lives, their finances, their families and whatever. Then [Campaign Chairman and confidant] Paul Brauntas, who was chairing this process for me, interviewed the candidates and their families extensively, I interviewed them extensively and - it's hard to describe this John – if you do the process right it inevitably leads to the right choice. And it's quite clear, or it was quite clear to me, that the right choice was Lloyd Bentsen, and I never regretted it for a minute, he was a terrific running mate.
The one thing I regret is that we didn't spend a little more time together talking about the campaign instead of being out there seven days a week campaigning, because he had beaten Bush Senior and beaten him decisively in a senate race in Texas – he had done that very successfully, and I think with the benefit of hindsight it would have been much better for him and his staff people like [Campaign manager] Joe O'Neill who'd had plenty of experience – to get together maybe every Monday sit down 'where are we, how we doing, what are the things we're doing right, what are the things we're doing wrong ' and so on, because not only was he [Bentsen] a terrific running mate and a first-rate guy, but very skilful politically, particularly in the context of his previous contest with Bush. During the course of this process that I described you learn a lot about people – some of it is very good, some of it is not so good, but you have to go through that, there has to be a good fit, good chemistry between you and your running mate.
Lloyd Bentsen (1921-2006) served in the US House of Representatives (1948-55) and the US Senate (1971-93). He ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1976 (won by Governor Jimmy Carter of Georgia), was on Democratic Presidential nominee Walter Mondale's Vice Presidential short list in 1984 and was Dukakis' Vice Presidential choice in 1988. Bentsen also served as US Treasury Secretary 1993-94 under President Bill Clinton.
Vice Presidential Debate, October 5 1988, Omaha, Nebraska:
Senator Quayle: "... I have far more experience than many who have sought the office of Vice President of this country. I have as much experience in Congress as Jack Kennedy did when he sought the Presidency. I will be prepared to deal with the people in the Bush administration if that unfortunate event would ever occur."
Senator Bentsen: "Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy, I knew Jack Kennedy, Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator you are no Jack Kennedy (prolonged cheers, laughter and applause)."
Senator Quayle: "Senator that was really uncalled for."(More cheers, applause)
John Barron: There is that moment in the [1988] Vice Presidential debate which keeps getting re-run ahead of every Presidential and Vice Presidential debate – the 'Jack Kennedy' moment – were you watching that?
Michael Dukakis: I certainly was (chuckles). I picked up the phone right after the debate and I said 'you did terrific' – and he did. (Chuckles again) But he was more than that – he was thoughtful and I don't think there was anybody who didn't think if anything were to happen to me as President that Lloyd Bentsen couldn't move in and be an excellent President, which is after all the single most important criterion of anything you consider – I mean that's so beyond anything else; geography... any of this sort of stuff. I think frankly that's what people are looking for. But I thought his performance in that debate was terrific.
John Barron: The competence of Senator Quayle to serve should anything happen to Vice President Bush or President Bush as he became was a big issue – it came up in one of your debates with Vice President Bush – did you see that as a weakness for the Republican ticket?
Michael Dukakis: I did. I'm not sure I exploited it as fully as I should have. We had pretty good polling information suggesting that had the race been closer Lloyd could have made the difference. And I was very proud of my selection and very proud of the way we went about it.
John Barron: Can we move forward to the [Presidential] Election Day itself, when it's just down to the decision the American people are going to make. At that stage had you seen enough polls to say 'this is going to be remarkable if we are going to do it from here' or were you still confident of winning – what were your thoughts?
Michael Dukakis: No, I knew I was behind John, but it was so close in so many states that we never stopped. I mean I was doing television feeds from Boston to television stations in key states all over America at five o'clock in the afternoon. And in point of fact I lost about a dozen states by a swing of three points or less so it gives you some sense of what might have been had we done a more effective job on the ground in the precincts than we did – and it's one of the reasons I think why I am so obsessive on the subject. But I knew I was behind but we were closing and a number of those states were very close and so I didn't quit until eight o'clock at night.
John Barron: Was there a point at which – whether it was on election day or maybe it was back after the nominating convention and the polls had you 17-points up – was there a moment when you had that stab of excitement that said 'this is happening' or 'this could be happening'?
Michael Dukakis: No, because that so-called 17-point lead was not real. I mean you get a bounce out of your convention and he gets a bounce of his convention. But on the other hand, we knew it was winnable.
John Barron: On the one hand the campaign as you are describing it is a marathon – but it is also on a day-to-day, hour-to-hour basis so hectic and so full that there isn't necessarily the time to step back and say 'Are we doing the right things, or are we in control of what's happening?'
Michael Dukakis: That's one of the reasons why in retrospect I think we should have set aside a day at the beginning of the week where Lloyd and I would get together with our top staff people and kind of assessed... you are not going to lose votes because you are not out there every blessed day of the week. In fact you need some down-time anyway. It's not that it's so hectic that you don't know what's going on – you've got a schedule and you meet that schedule – one of the things that I think Clinton and Gore did very well and I'm sorry I didn't do it – is that they would spend three days each week in a different region of the country campaigning by bus at the grassroots; they'd pick out the North West or California or the southern states, every region of the country, and every week for three days they'd be on the ground meeting with real people in small towns. They got huge coverage, enormous interest; people came out by the thousands to see them. It's one way of anchoring the candidate, and by the way making the campaign interesting.
I mean we campaign so long – I don't know long your campaigns are but I think they are a matter of weeks – it may sounds strange to you but you get bored out of your mind saying the same thing over and over again. And so getting on the ground in real America, in small towns and moving around from region-to-region, state-to-state on the ground, stopping; Clinton and Gore would stop anywhere were there were 100 people – and it drove the Secret Service Crazy but that's what they did and it had a profound effect on them by the way; but that's a way or really connecting with people, making the campaign interesting and learning things as you go along. This is an incredible country, as you know – just remarkable – what it is, what it looks like, who its people are and so on – but that's a great way to do it. I think the real challenge with the length of these campaigns is how does the candidate stay fresh, stay interested and stay interesting – and that's a real challenge when you have been campaigning non-stop for a year and a half.
On election day, November 8th, 1988 Michael Dukakis and Lloyd Bentsen received 45.6% of the popular vote to George H.W. Bush and Dan Quayle's 53.7% - the Electoral College went 426-111 to Bush-Quayle.
John Barron: Governor you've spoken a lot about campaign finance, Barack Obama of course raised a huge amount of money online, he was criticised for turning down public finance – what do you think about the role of money in Presidential campaigns?
Michael Dukakis: Whether we like it or not money is going to play a role. Now, I would not over-emphasise it, because Obama did not win that [Democratic] nomination because he had a lot of money. He won the nomination because he understood for reasons I don't understand the Clinton campaign didn't seem to understand; that grassroots organisation, especially in the caucus states was very important. He did it and did it very well. Now that doesn't cost money, it really doesn't cost money; the internet is wonderful fundraising tool and a wonderful organising tool. So a lot of what I am talking about is not expensive, and in fact he [Obama] outspent Hillary in media in a number of those primary states and he didn't win them. So the effect of paid media, while not unimportant, is much less impressive today than it used to be.
As the media becomes dispersed people are not reading newspapers as much as they did, they are not watching the six o'clock news all the time, they have many, many other ways to get the news and so that's why volunteer-drive grassroots campaigning is so effective and so inexpensive. Now having said that, it doesn't hurt that Obama could raise more than $50-million a month and raise it from a very broad base of very small contributors. The challenge is to turn them into grassroots organisers – that's the best possible system. McCain didn't have that, he raise a lot of money but mostly from Republican fat cats.
John Barron: To what extent was Barack Obama's campaign an extension of his personality, his life story and his experience as a community organiser? Do you have to have that sort of inspirational quality has for many Americans it seems in order to motivate the grassroots that way?
Michael Dukakis: He's extraordinary. I am not sure all of us quite have that (laughs) but he's got it and it certainly made a huge difference, especially with young people – he was able to attract a remarkable number of young people because of who he is and how he says what he says which is very impressive. So yeah, it's a great asset for him, it's a rare quality – a lot of us like to think that we are reasonably good on our feet, but he's almost in a class by himself, and that's important.
John Barron: What are the implications of the Obama Presidency - is it transformative for America?
Michael Dukakis: Without a question. Remember I was born in 1933, at a time when this country was racist, it was anti-Semitic, black people went to the back of the bus in Washington DC, the schools were segregated in 22 states by race, it's hard to describe – our armed forces were segregated racially – can you believe this? To have lived through the civil rights revolution and come out the other side and to have a President who is Africa-American in a literal sense – African father, American mother, extraordinarily bright and extraordinarily capable... its unquestionably transformative, it's mind-boggling when you think about where we were forty or fifty years ago when I was coming of age politically.

On Scanty Clothes:
I have a theory; that in Azeroth, there's very little taboo about going about in skimpy outfits (though nudity seems pretty well frowned upon in most cultures).
Check out the 'standard' kit of your average Night Elf Sentinel. Also, look at "respectable" figures such as Inquisitor Whitemane (dem thighs!) Sylvanas Windrunner (dat midriff!) and Jaina Proudmoore (dat cleavage!) And that's not even touching on Alextrazsa, who's human form is just shy of full-on naked (dat EVERYTHING)!
Part of that is fantasy-world marketing, true. But, for us lore-y types, it's a valid thing to point out.

Time & Attendance Project - HBS Timekeeping System
In 2005 the UCSF Administrative Information Systems Board (formerly the Administrative Systems Advisory Committee) approved a portfolio of projects, including the Time and Attendance Project that will impact many campus employees and departments. Work on this project began in September 2007 and has involved more than 25 department representatives in the design process. The roll out of this system is expected to take place during the 2009-10 fiscal year.
This project involves the introduction of a web-based, online timekeeping system called Huntington Business Systems (HBS), which facilitates the completion and approval of employee timesheets. The new system will standardize department timekeeping processes and will be used by all employees who earn vacation and/or sick leave.

One in ten PCs still vulnerable to Conficker exploit
Many systems are still unprotected against the Conficker superworm, weeks after the malware began spreading across the internet creating a huge botnet of compromised machines thought to number in the millions. Data from enterprise users of Sophos's Endpoint Assessment Test, which checks the state of Windows PC patching and anti- …
Related to SupportOnClick ?
Could the recent update to conficker be related to the Cold Calling Spyware scam and the way some people were unable to shutdown etc & then got contacted by Supportonclick?
It would help if the patches had more intuituve names
Some things deserve cryptic names: car parts, book ISBNs, the numbers that appear under bar codes. However, I'd suggest that security patches for computers don't fall into this category, if it means that 10% of PC users can't even seem to figure out if they're vulnerable, or not.
Ask a user whether they've installed the MS08-067 patch (which, for clarity's sake, is also known by the catchy moniker of "KB959644"), and you might as well have asked them whether their car used LFR5AP -11 spark plugs or BPR6ES-11s!
Why not call it 'The Confiker Patch', or 'That Security Update We Issued Last October'?
There are 10 PCs in this room, that means that one of them is a Communist!
Re: Oh Noes
"Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu. But I think it's Colin."
- Tommy Cooper
11 per cent is more like 1 in 9 than 1 in 10
Assuming you are reporting the figure accurately, 11 per cent is much closer to 1 in 9 than it is to 1 in 10, so why round down rather than up?
oh no!!!
How do I protect my Mac?
Ah yes, I don't. I pay the "Apple Tax" that ensures that chavs don't buy into high priced gear, leaving us with a nice minority OS that no one bothers trying to hack.
Seriously guys, how much more money do you guys have to spend on security over the "Apple Tax"?
RE: the sub head
No actually I'm not scared now. Wasn't scared when the hyped machine started rolling on this and wont be scared tomorrow. Come on guys, do we really need to keep re hashing this and giving this worm more press than it deserves. Not to mention trying to cause a panic? It's really getting very tiresome.
@ Justin Clements
Its called security. You should try it sometime. And by minority OSes, do you mean say, Vista? Its about as popular as a herpes sore.
Funny, if we Mac users represent the top ten percent of big spenders, you would think we would be a high level target, platinum card numbers and such. "Sadly, looking into my checking account this is not the case"
If you can't figure out why NT is less secure than Darwin Unix, you are simply trolling, a Microsoft fudster, or just a little slow. And only the third rates any sympathy.
Three Macs, Well two Macs and a Hackintosh EEE PC , security budget ZERO, infections ZERO, hassle ZERO. I don't know where you live, but if you look at US LAPTOP sales. We are well over ten percent. In new sales something a bit under one in three, We are not such a minority anymore.
Why bother?
Why should anyone bother with Conficker protection now? Didn't we all get the news on April 2nd that it was another dud like the millennium bug? That is was just more hype by the anti-virus vendors and nothing happened on "D-Day" April first? Doesn't anyone pay attention to our helpful mainstream news outlets anymore? They warned us of impending doom, then revealed it was all chicken little crying wolf again. Forget Conficker, it's time for a new sensation.
So is parliament still infected?
Just asking.
ISP's still can't get round to letting the most annoying group of their users why people are finding them *so* annoying.
Grammatical Oh Noes
! in 5 people in the world IS Chinese, you mean. ;)
mine's not !
There is no linux version yet - maybe its coming like chrome ?
Rounding up would be sensationalist. We wouldn't want that, would we?
Still Cheaper and who cares?
Justin, I pay $39.95 a year for a 3 user license to protect my Windows machines. Still way cheaper than a MAC. But in case everyone hasn't noticed, most of the infected machines are ones running pirate copies of XP in places like China. These machines don't pass Windows Genuine Advantage scrutiny and thus the needed patch won't install. Conficker for the most part didn't infect the large numbers of PC's in North America and Western Europe that its authors had hoped for. With the patch widely deployed and anti-virus companies hot on Conficker's ass I doubt that it will spread much more in the regions just mentioned. So if Conficker's masters want to infect Chinese, Indian, and Russian computers running non-genuine copies of XP with a English version of the rogue SpywareProtect2009 who cares? Have fun with that guys.
RE: Still Cheaper and who cares?
>>if Conficker's masters want to infect Chinese, Indian, and Russian computers running non-genuine copies of XP with a English version of the rogue SpywareProtect2009 who cares?
You'll care when they create the largest botnet ever known, then flood the net with unprecented volumes of spam and DDOS attacks.
Or maybe you won't.
I got an even cheaper deal
I have a hardware firewall, a free anti-virus and I use Firefox.
Haven't had a problem in the past six years.
@Ron Haworth
opendns say infection rates are:
Russia, Malaysia 3%; Italy 4%; USA, India 5%; Algeria 7%; Indonesia 10%; Philippines 11%; Brazil 12%; Vietnam 13%
and all other countries less that 3%, so it looks like those Chinese, Indian and Russian computers aren't any worse off than the North Americans.
A couple of points
"Data from enterprise users of Sophos's Endpoint Assessment Test, which checks the state of Windows PC patching and anti-virus protection, suggest 11 per cent of users have failed to install the MS08-067 patch that guards against the vulnerability exploited by Conficker."
These result will be somewhat skewed. People who are clued up enough to care about security will patch regularly and therefore probably won't use something like the endpoint assessment test. People who aren't clued up at all probably wouldn't use it either. So the figures apply to a fairly small subset of users.
Secondly and more importantly the MS08-067 only guards against one of conficker's attack vectors. Too much publicity is given to this particular attack vector, I've found plenty of infected computers which had the patch applied long before they were infected, but the infection came via the autorun feature. The victims have all thought they were protected because they had applied the patch. Please don't enforce the belief that the patch alone will protect against conficker.
Mandatory Updates
I'm sure that Microsoft brought this out as a Critical Update and most systems have Automatic Updates enabled so I'm surprised that the number is so high. I do think its mad calling it by its patch name and not by a name like "Confiker Patch"
I've ran checks on the home PC's and laptops and we're all patched. Mind you - I use a whole range of spyware protection tools so it probably never had the chance to get on in the first place.
As I understand it, the worm contacted a set of known DNS addresses. Perhaps cutting users off from the internet and providing them with a landing page with all the clean-up tools would allow the non-tech able the chance to fix their machines when its detected that then worm is trying to get to these sites.

What's the Difference Between Broilers, Fryers, Roasters & Other Sizes of Chicken?
Ingredient Intelligence
We get a little confused if a recipe calls for a roaster or a broiler chicken. Can different kinds of chickens be used interchangeably?
Have you also wondered about the difference between these sizes of chickens? Wonder no more! Here's a handy guide to identify those chickens and a few pointers on swapping and preparing.
The terms for these different kinds of chickens tend to get tossed about and used interchangeably in recipes and articles. When we're buying chickens for a meal like our Slow-Cooker Lemon Garlic Chicken, we generally go by the weight on the package and buy the amount that seems appropriate for the number of people we're serving.
But recipes calling for a whole chicken sometimes just call for a broiler or a roaster. Want to know the difference?
Get to Know Your Chickens
- Broilers: Chickens 6 to 8 weeks old and weighing about 2 1/2 pounds
- Fryers: Chickens 6 to 8 weeks old and weighing 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 pounds
- Roasters: Chickens less than 8 months old and weighing 3 1/2 to 5 pounds
- Stewing Chickens: Chickens (usually hens) over 10 months old and weighing 5 to 7 pounds
- Capons: Castrated males that weigh 6 to 8 pounds
- Cock/Rooster: Male chickens over 10 months old weighing 6 to 8 pounds
Broilers, Fryers & Roasters
Broilers, fryers, and roasters can generally be used interchangeably based on how much meat you think you'll need. They are young chickens raised only for their meat, so they are fine to use for any preparation from poaching to roasting. You may need to adjust cooking times or amounts of other ingredients (like stuffing) based on what the recipe called for and the size of your chicken.
Stewing Chickens
Stewing chickens are usually laying hens that have passed their prime. They are older and their meat is usually tougher and more stringy. This type of chicken is best used in stews (as the name implies!) where the meat has time to break down during the long, moist cooking.
Since they've been castrated, capons don't develop in the normal way of a hormone-crazy chicken teenager. They grow more slowly and put on more body fat. Because of this, their meat is more tender and flavorful than that of any other chicken of the same weight. Capons are great for roasting but can also be used for braises and poaching.
Cocks & Roosters
Roosters are tough old birds with low body fat and lean, ropey muscles. They're rarely found in chain grocery stores, but can be found in specialty markets and many Asian markets. Like stewing chickens, roosters are best used in slow cooked stews and braises, like the traditional Coq au Vin.
What's your favorite way to prepare a chicken?

I do not know if it is me or the markets. I have a very hard time finding any chicken under 5 lbs in the supermarket. Many recipes for roasting a chicken calls for a chicken around 3 1/2 lbs.
Except for the Cornish Hens.
Me too, MickeyRoss. I think regular supermarket birds are bred to be gigantic. The farmer's market near me has smaller birds but they are a premium price, of course.
These terms went out of common usage here in New Jersey supermarkets over 20 years ago with the exception of game hens (Cornish Game Hens), capons and Perdue's trademarked 'Oven Stuffer Roaster'
Whole chickens are simply sold by weight. As MikeyRoss said and mizrobot echoed, smaller birds (in my supermarket 4-1/2lbs is the low end) just are not sold
Oh, but I'm sure those chickens from the farmers' market taste so much better!
I'd love to find some stewing hens or roosters, chicken soups and stews don't taste as rich with young birds.
One thing: just watch Julia Childs episode about chickens, it's hilarious! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7dLXEc9tZM
I buy a good majority of our chickens whole and chop them up myself (while my wife hides in the other room) and I too have noticed that broiler/fryers are getting harder to find. I just went through the sales flyers of all the local grocery stores and only one had fryers listed. Roasters are king now, I guess.
Yes, I also have trouble finding supermarket chickens under 5 pounds now! For years, I roasted chickens in a blue-and-white speckled, enameled covered roasting pan my mother gave me. I finally got rid of it when I could no longer find a chicken that fit into it.
Ironically, the cooked rotisserie chickens available everywhere are so small that they could easily fit. Go figure. Maybe THAT's why we can't find them in the supermarket; they're all at the deli counter!

Personally, my issue is not so much that DKs are getting a battle res. It's that they can use it while tanking, and I (as a feral tank) can't.
A Blood DK main tank will be able to say "I'm going to reposition the boss so I can res PlayerX," do so, hit their button, and go on with the fight.
A Feral tank has to have an available off-tank to take the boss, or they're almost guaranteed to die in painful and messy ways upon dropping Bear Form and casting Rebirth (boss downtime mechanics and epic healer cooldowns notwithstanding).
Ferals have always been balanced around having the great utility that the Druid class comes with, but I've never really seen any admission that Ferals have to work harder for that utility than any other spec/class. The only thing remotely similar had been Warrior stances, but the trend has been to make everything important usable in any stance as of late. Frequently, Bears just get stuck unable to take advantage of the group-saving abilities that other druid specs and other classes can access freely.

They go back to being friends. Randy, for the most part, gives up on his feelings for her.
It was only mentioned one other time in the series. Earl tried to give Randy a car, but he thought that Catalina was his gift and said "Already had her. Not as good as you'd think."

Things to come.
I've been pretty awful at keeping my New Year's resolution. Not very surprising but a bit disappointing.
I have been working though. I will hopefully have a January recap piece up within the week. But I'm super excited about a new project I'm working on.
Here's a frame from a roll of Ektar 100 that I just developed for the project. I couldn't be happier with the way this roll came out.

3.5 C# Basics Questions & Answers
Introduction to .NET Technology
.Net Technology is developed by Microsoft
in 2000. .Net technology is the new addition to Windows. The .NET ("dot - net")
environment is effectively a "virtual computer" that runs on a real computer,
through which a developers can create a .NET application in any .NET -
compatible language and participate in the same software project writing code in
the .NET languages in which (such as Visual C++.NET, Visual Basic .NET, C#,
Java, J# and more others).
.NET Core Technology- .NET
Technology has quite a few different parts
Common Language Runtime (CLR)
Common Language Infrastructure (CLI)
Common Language Specification (CLS)
.NET Framework tools (examples include gacutil, sn, and all the compilers)
.NET Framework is FREE (including the compilers!)
.NET development is made MUCH easier by using Visual Studio .NET
Introduction of .NET Framework-
.NET Framework is a software framework developed by Microsoft for
Microsoft Windows operating systems. .NET Framework has a large library, and it
supports several programming languages which allows language interoperability
(each language can use code written in other languages.)
Features of framework's Base Class Library-
User Interface
Web Application Development and
Database Connectivity
Data Access
Network Communications.
The class library is used by programmers, who combine it with their own
code to produce applications.
Versions of .NET Frameworks-
Version Number
Release Date
Visual Studio Framework
Operating System
Visual Studio .NET
Windows Server 2003
Visual Studio .NET 2003
Visual Studio 2005
Windows Server 2003 R2
Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008
Visual Studio 2008
Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2
Visual Studio 2010
Architecture of .NET Framework-
History of C#
Sharp) was designed for developing application in a fully object-oriented manner
as part of the Microsoft .NET initiative. C# debuted in the year 2000 by
Microsoft founder Bill Gates. At the same time, Visual Studio .NET was
announced. C# is an object-oriented programming language as part of their .NET
initiative in response to the success of Sun Microsystems' Java programming
language. C# source codeas well as those of other .NET languagesis compiled
into an intermediate byte code called MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language. C#
is primarily derived from the C, C++, and Java programming languages with some
features of Microsoft's Visual Basic in the mix. C# is used to develop applications like
Console Application
Window Base Application
Web Based Application
Mobile Application
.NET offers an alternative to Java development. Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET
development environment incorporates several different languages including
ASP.NET, C#, C++, and J# (Microsoft Java for .NET), all of which compile to the
Common Language Runtime.
Why C# is better than other languages-
C# and Java- Here are some features that C# has
but Java does not:
Delegates- You can kind of do this in Java, but its not as clean.
Lambdas- Which are way better than anonymous inner classes. (C# has
anonymous inner classes, too.)
LINQ (Language Integrated and Query )
Operator overloading- This feature can be abused, but it is still
occasionally useful, especially in libraries and DSLs.
Properties- No need to write getters and setters. Everything looks like a
direct field access, even if it isnt.
Yield CO-Routine capability- This is a powerful and highly useful
capability, especially for lazy iterators.
Extension methods- They permit you to extend existing classes.
Null coalescing operator that provides a simple syntax for dereferencing a
reference and supplying a default if the reference is null.
C# and VB
C# is a new, type-safe language, object-oriented language. It has
automatic garbage collection feature. It is developed solely for running along
with CLR frameworks. We can use pointers, if needed, though unsafe. On the other hand, VB.NET is developed from VB.
Comments in C# are just better. You can do Multiline comments, XML
comments, single line comments, etc.
Regions in C# are far better. The key here is that you can place a region
inside a function, thus breaking up the implementation into logical pieces.
C# and C++
C++ too complex and unsafe
C++ system-dependent
C++ not Web-ready
C++ does not manage memory
C++ has pointer types
C# nicely improved on Java, VB and C++.
C# can be used for everything like -sockets, threading, events, sql,
C# by Dissection: a plug Parallel treatment
Advance features of C# -
(Language Integrated and Query)-
LINQ to SQL
LINQ to OBJECT
2. XML Web Services
3. Cryptography
Most Important Advantages of C# -
C# is supported by Microsoft.
C# is type safe which comes with its advantages.
Nothing is better when you are developing windows applications.
Its syntax is also very well designed. Code looks pretty good.
Its intelligence IDE
Its worth learning because lots of code is written and is being written in
It feels so good when you code in C# in Visual Studio.
With C# you can explore lots of interesting things .NET,WPF,WCF,XNA,ASP.NET

Late summer fare sales require fast action
Several airlines have launched a pretty good fare sale for late summer trips– starting as soon as late July and lasting into fall months. However, you must act fast– the good deals are available for the next one to three days only. (Details here.) For example, Virgin America is offering round trips of $156 (all […] [Read More]

World renown VAG tuner, ABT Sportline, has released an all-new performance exhaust for the Audi TTRS and RS5 models.
Anyone who drives an extremely sporty car of the caliber of an Audi RS5 or Audi TT-RS likes acoustics which suit the performance potential of their racer. Owners of premium cars from Ingolstadt expect a sound that represents the power of the car without being too loud, and is also produced in the best possible quality.
For the RS5 and TT-RS, ABT Sportsline has developed an exhaust system which meets the high demands of their customers: the sound is a lot more powerful and striking over all speed ranges and seems even more dynamic. At the same time it complies with the legally prescribed maximum noise levels. The good acoustics which will amaze fans of sporty vehicles suit both the RS racing sound and everyday driving. Thanks to the high-quality stainless steel technology the exhaust system is extremely robust and durable – an investment in a long car life full of driving enjoyment.
The new exhaust system from ABT Sportsline consists of middle and rear mufflers, which run from the catalytic converter to the rear of the vehicle. With this placement, the system fits perfectly with the Audi design as the standard appearance is retained. The result is simple; the unmistakable RS look plus a powerful ABT sound and performance gain that allow the special set-up to be ideal for everyday use.

Congratulations! You have successfully finished nursing school, passed the NCLEX and are now preparing to start your first job!
Now that you are out of school you may be wondering if your first job will be anything like what your professors taught you in school. I'm here to tell you no, but don't fret.
Here are a few tips that can help you ease into the transition from student to nurse.
1. Remember the NCLEX and school are NOT like real world!
Many new graduates struggle with this fact when they are out practicing as a nurse. When you are out you will soon face this reality. Different facilities have different protocols, report may be carried out differently than it was in school, and when a patient is crashing it isn't always "textbook" like NCLEX questions.
2. Listen to your senior nurses.
We've all heard the phrase "nurses eating their young" when referring to the relationship between new nurses and seasoned nurses. Sometimes there actually are personality conflicts, but most of the time seasoned nurses are just frustrated with the newer generation thinking they know everything straight out of school. Seasoned nurses on the unit your working have a wealth of information to share with you, just be willing to listen.
3. Don't act like a know-it-all.
The quickest way to become the unpopular nurse on the unit is to act like you know everything about everything. I, nor any other nurse on the unit, care if you graduated from nursing school with a 3.9 GPA and passed your clinical rotations with flying colors. All we care about is how you can safely and effectively deliver care to your patients. This does not involve you telling us that we are doing things wrong (unless we really are), or that you jump ahead of your preceptor and do things your way. Remember you are there to learn to be a real nurse, not a student nurse!
4. Don't cause waves.
When I say don't cause waves, I mean don't do things like actively complain about your chosen profession. I've seen and heard it many times; a new graduate comes into the unit and actively and continuously vocalizes how much bedside nursing sucks and that they are out of there, on to NP or CRNA school after one year! Doing this usually causes a divide between you and other nurses on the unit. If you think bedside nursing sucks now, wait until you don't have help from your colleagues when stuff hits the fan. Because, according to you, who would want to be a bedside nurse for more than one year?
Use these tips to successfully integrate into your new role. Pretty soon you'll be a seasoned nurse and will be able to give tips to the newbies on your unit.
Seasoned nurses, what have you found to be a good way to transition from student to practicing nurse?
In addition to working as a FNP, Nachole Johnson is a freelance copywriter and an author with her first book, You're a Nurse and Want to Start Your Own Business? The Complete Guide, available on Amazon. Visit her ReNursing blog at www.renursing.com for more ideas on how to reinvent your career.
The nursing profession today can be very challenging for any nurse, experienced or the new grad. The quality of care in the U.S. on the the world scale related to infant mortality and life expectancy is that U.S. is about number 37-40. Thats by the WHO. There are many stories and reasons why. Here are some reasons going on in Arizona. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Arizona-State-Board-of-Nursing-Corruption...
The first nursing job is going to spell the difference. If you can survive that one, definitely, the sky is the limit for you. - Flemings Ultimate Garage Reviews

If I wanted to release a "screwed" cover of an Eagles song, I don't have to ask anybody. If I have a bizarre idea that might weird people out or piss people off or not make sense, then I want to be able to share that with people and take that feedback. I'm fully willing to take responsiblitiy for these weird songs that I have. I just have to. It's something that I feel compelled to share with people. That's why I'm a songwriter. That's why I'm a musician. I'm confused as to why that is, but it is.
Jenn Wasner, guitarist/singer for Wye Oak, talked to me about her new solo project, Flock of Dimes, Wye Oak's future and falling back in love with Baltimore.
By the way, she really did do a screwed cover of the Eagles' "I Can't Tell You Why." It's the B-side to her new 7", which I would recommend picking up over at Friends or when the Sharon Van Etten tour comes to your town. Orange vinyl; very #RARE.

Clothes Horse: Shopping Party At Cynthia Rowley
Guest Blogger and Author of Clothes Horse NYC Amelia invited FOAM along to her special shopping party at Cynthia Rowley.
"Lindsay from Cynthia Rowley came across my blog and asked me if I would be interested in hosting a private shopping party at Cynthia's store in the West Village. December seemed like the time to do it since everyone is looking for that perfect holiday ensemble. I wore a Cynthia Rowley 2010 holiday dress that reminded me of Judy Jetson. I was stoked on the hem being shorter in the front and longer in the back and the unique geometric pattern. I love her designs because they are girly with an edge. Everyone loved the clothes, the mini cupcakes and of course...the champagne. It really was an awesome night. Afterward my mom took me out for dinner and I ate a big steak! Then I went home and collapsed– but not in my party dress.
My Top Gift Picks From Cynthia Rowley
1. Denim frame heart shoulder bag
2. Leather pants
3. Pink sunglasses from Spring 2011
4. Silk and feather dress"

- About Ateneum
The Friends of Ateneum association has made a significant donation to the art collections of the Ateneum Art Museum. The donation includes Helene Schjerfbeck's sketchbooks, sketches and photographs.
Next year marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Helene Schjerfbeck (1862-1946). The main exhibition of the anniversary year will be held at the Ateneum Art Museum from 1 June to 14 October 2012. To mark the anniversary, the Friends of Ateneum association has donated to the museum five of Schjerfbeck's sketchbooks, a hundred sketches, photographs and other archive material. All of the items being donated come from a private collection.
The sketchbooks and sketches will be added to Ateneum's collections as part of the Friends of Ateneum Collection, which includes major works of Finnish art. The Friends of Ateneum association has previously donated to the museum two other works by Helene Schjerfbeck and 24 other items.
Selma Green, Chairman of the Friends of Ateneum Board: "Donating art to Ateneum's collections is an important function of our association - in fact, the association was founded 91 years ago specifically for this purpose. In connection with the preparations for Helene Schjerfbeck's 150th anniversary exhibition, our association was given a unique opportunity to acquire previously unseen sketch material from a private collection. Our association's over two thousand members are proud to be able to donate the sketches of one of Finland's most beloved artists to the collections of the national gallery."
Maija Tanninen-Mattila, Director of the Ateneum Art Museum: "The donation by the Friends of Ateneum is an important addition to Ateneum's collections, as previously we have not had a single sketchbook by Schjerfbeck. The museum is extremely grateful that its friends are supporting the museum through such donations."
The Friends of Ateneum is the oldest museum friends association in Finland, founded in 1919 to support the Ateneum Art Museum. In addition to donations, members of the Friends of Ateneum support the museum through volunteer work. The association has been active in its current form since 1985, and it currently has over 2000 members. For further information, see www.ateneum.fi/friends.

Billy Sloan on Center Stage
Country Fans, we hope you are ready for a GREAT concert experience featuring Billy Sloan, a "Southern born and bred" country singer and his band. He will be on Center Stage on July 4th from 8-9 PM and 9:30-10:30 PM.
Billy Sloan's voice range goes from floor to heaven and nothing is out of his comfort zone when it comes to his singing. This amazing performer insists that 90% of the music he performs with his band is "real country", something that is hard to find in the Northern parts of the United States. If you are a true country fan, then you are in for a real treat. Billy and his band will perform cover songs and add their own twist to them. In addition, they will also perform original material, which is even better than the covers they do. It's these original songs that have been sweeping the nation ensuring everyone has heard of Billy Sloan.
Billy's vocals, and his original material were critiqued by some of Nashville's top executives. Billy is well on his way to becoming a mainstream country star. Billy presently is signed by the record label TMG and will be releasing a new album this Spring. Make sure you listen to his music on Facebook & Reverbnation!

The news that Michael Bay, the grinning schlockmeister behind the "Transformers" franchise, "Armageddon," and "Pearl Harbor," was directing a special-effects-free comedy actually piqued some people's interest, this critic's included. Who knows, we thought: Maybe the guy would turn out to be good at something besides making ridiculous amounts of money.
No such luck. "Pain & Gain," a jokey but fatally tone-deaf true-crime caper, plays like "Fargo" for idiots. It's final proof, if you need it, that Bay is a director of great mechanical skill and no discernible talent, which means that he can pull off a camera shot or an action sequence to make you gasp but is hapless at making a movie that holds together for more than five minutes at a time, let alone from one end to the other.

Most people wouldn't know it by looking at me, but half of my heritage comes from Poland. Knowing that fact, you might think that I would taken at least a passing interest in the music scene from that country, but that isn't the least bit true. Poland has not been a leading exporter of music I would want to listen to, but the fact that Decapitated comes from one of my ancestral homelands is enough to at least pique my curiosity.
Metal, as a genre, shows a great deal of fealty to the parties responsible for its creation. That fealty, undying in its virility, is often rewarded with a recurring stream of new material from the bands being revered. It is a cycle that is unique to the genre – such loyalty to artists in other contemporary genres tends to lead to great fame and fortune, where in metal it is more prone to cause underground acceptance, increased inspiration and a comfortable, if perhaps not incredibly lucrative, living.
There's just a certain joy about new projects, aren't there? They all possess a certain sense of combinative anticipation and mystery that makes them compelling. The beginning of a new project, especially when the members of said musical enterprise have established themselves under other names, is an endless spring of contemplation and speculation that only ends when the result graces us with its presence.
Let's play a little word association game. I'll say a word and you say the first thing that comes to mind. Ready? Swedish. Now, you might have replied with "meatballs", "fish" of "chef" but what comes to my mind lately when I hear the word Swedish is "death metal". The Swedish people sure do love their death metal. And this week we've got another example with the band Miasmal.
It's not easy anymore for a band to come out and bend the rules of death metal, creating a sound that is utterly unique to themselves. There isn't much room in the sonic palate for diverse sounds, and the songwriting of death metal is formulaic enough that most bands wind up falling into a very narrow range. It's one of the things death metal fans love about death metal, and one of the things that makes it so hard for me to ever get into that kind of music. At a certain point, when everything sounds the same, there's little incentive to keep trying.
At first blush, MaYaN's new album "Antagonise" seems like an exercise in formulaic death metal with some melodic tangents, not so different from Soilwork, Susperia, Hypocrisy and a million different also-rans. Do yourself a favor; don't let the first blush be your only consumption of MaYaN. There's a lot more going on here than the initial impact alludes to.
Deicide's career has been one long roller coaster ride. They helped set the standard of American death metal with their first two albums, then fell into disrepair as stagnation set in. As all this was happening, I was completely oblivious to anything they had done, since death metal still only existed in my periphery. It wasn't until the Deicide that became famous was fractured that I came on board. The resulting album, "The Stench Of Redemption", was a remarkable album, and the shot in the arm the flagging Deicide brand needed.
Hail Of Bullets did something remarkable with their first album; they made a record that actually sounded like an army of enemy tanks storming into town ready to crush anything in their paths. These death metal veterans made a statement right out of the gate, becoming one of the biggest and most important death metal bands since the nascent days, all with one record. That they were able to then turn around and use their second album to further their sound with new elements and more expansive songwriting meant that this was no one trick pony.
Anyone who knows me, or has read enough of my writing, knows that I'm not much of a fan of death metal. Most of it is too sloppy, too noisy, or just too far removed from what I consider the heart of music for me to get a lot of enjoyment from it. I understand why people love it, but I would never be able to throw myself headlong into the genre. In a discussion I had with my colleague Drew a while back, I challenged myself to make a list of my five favorite death metal albums. Smack dab in the middle of that list was Carcass' landmark "Heartwork".
Dan Swano is as much an extreme metal legend as you can get. From his work with the seminal Edge Of Sanity, to his years spent behind the desk making every band he worked with sound better than they ever had before, he is one of the key figures in the history of European extreme metal. And all of that is before even mentioning "Moontower", his solo triumph. That album, in my eyes, is the single greatest death metal record ever made, and a towering achievement that single-handedly proves the merit of growled vocals.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".
