What baby sleeps on. And why it matters.
You do it 8 hours a day, if you're the average American. I do it 6 hours, since I converted to a whole-foods, plant-based diet. It's all I need. Sleep. We think about it very little. Many Americans have accepted that even though they do so much of it, they rarely feel rested. The idea […]2 Comments • Continue Reading →

Yellow Mold growing side of my foundation
1 Attachment(s)
Hi, i noticed something interesting growing in a small section on the side of my foundation, in my patio. It is a four year old house in Houston, Texas.
Please see attached Picture. This nasty stuff is yellow, and quite hard.
It showed up about 4 months back in the same location, and the only way i got rid of it was pouring Bleach over it ( you can see the black in the center ) Now it has come back..
the only thing i can suspect is moisture retaining after I water my plants that are in the patio.
Any suggestions, on what this is, and is it dangerous. What are the remedies to get rid of it/ prevent it.
What mold looks like, what harmless mold looks like, stuff that is not mold: How to recognize Stuff that is Not Mold or Harmless Mold but may be mistaken for Toxic Mold - save your money
Should help you out a bit; I believe that goes over yellow mold and non-mold.

Oxford Centre for Nonlinear PDE
Focussing on the fundamental analysis of PDE, and numerical algorithms for their solutions.
The Oxford Centre for Nonlinear PDE (OxPDE) is a vibrant and stimulating research environment, providing leadership in the area of nonlinear PDE within the UK.PDEs are ubiquitous in almost all applications of mathematics, where they provide a natural mathematical description of many phenomena. The behaviour of every material object, with length scales ranging from sub-atomic to astronomical and timescales ranging from picoseconds to millennia, can be modelled by PDE or by equations having similar features.
The centre focuses on the fundamental analysis of nonlinear PDE, and numerical algorithms for their solution. Current areas of interest include the calculus of variations, nonlinear hyperbolic systems, inverse problems, homogenization, infinite-dimensional dynamical systems, geometric analysis and PDE arising in solid and fluid mechanics, materials science, liquid crystals, biology and relativity. Amongst other initiatives we run an active visitor programme, an events programme, a dedicated technical report series and host national events and visitors calendars for the PDE community.

the hospital5 Reviews
julius is in the hospital, delilah doesn't know if he'll make it.
I paced in the waiting room until the doctor came out , i ran up to him
"is he okay?" i asked.
"he's okay but he's still unconsious." the doctor explained.
" can i go see him?" i asked
"yes but don't unhook any of the machines." I ran to his room but stopped at the door when i saw him, he looked so, not him. He was pale and looked so life-less. I walked up to him
" Oh julius, please wake up i don't want to be alone" i cried. His eyes started to open
" you don't have to be alone" he said with a weak smile.
"oh julius" i said hugging him.
" delilah i have to tell you something.." he said.
" yes julius" i said hopefully.
" i love you." he said with a big smile.
"oh julius, you don't know how long i have waited to hear that." i said gleefully hugging him we looked into eachothers eyes and kissed passionatly, when we parted we leaned on eachothers eyes "I love you to juls". The doctor came in to tell us that he had to stay the night but i could stay with him. Night came and i was getting up to go lie on the couch.
" don't leave" julius pleaded.
" im not leaving i'm just lieing on the couch to sleep" i replied.
" just lie beside me" he said playfully. I walked over and layed in front of him, he wrapped him arm around me and we went to sleep happy in eachothers arms.

Skyline sprinters have big plans for senior seasons, beyond
March 4, 2014
There might not be a better situation for Dorie Dalzell to land in at the collegiate level, even though the school she chose wasn't the one she thought she would.
Dalzell's father and grandfather are University of Kansas alumni, and her boyfriend is currently attending the Division I athletics powerhouse in Lawrence, Kan. It was those factors that had her heavily leaning toward Washington, Arizona and Columbia for her running career at the next level, simply because she wanted a change of scenery.
Kansas was the last school Dalzell visited, and a motivational video she watched with the coaches cinched her decision.
Schrag, Clawson solidify status as Eagles' top runners
October 22, 2013
Their teams haven't had the type of season they were hoping for, but Issaquah High School runners Kennan Schrag and Ellie Clawson aren't being deterred from their individual goals.
Schrag, a sophomore, topped the boys field, and Clawson, a junior, won the girls race when Issaquah squared off with Skyline and Newport in an Oct. 16 KingCo Conference cross country race at Bellevue's Kelsey Creek Park.
In the boys race, Issaquah fell short of rival Skyline, which captured the team win with 34 points. However, the Eagles (48 points) won a tiebreaker and defeated Newport for their second win of the season.
Issaquah's top three runners set the pace for the first half of the 3.1-mile race. Schrag, fellow sophomore Jacob Brueckman, and senior Caleb Walin got out quickly and formed their own pack.
Skyline trio leads the way to cross country victory
October 1, 2013
Alex Daugherty has put her talent on display as a basketball and track and field athlete, but she hadn't run a cross-country race until early September.
The Skyline High School senior is showing she has the stamina for the sport, winning the individual girls title at Klahanie Park in 18:56.
She had plenty of help as Skyline easily defeated Ballard (19-41) and Eastlake (15-50). Sophomore Maizy Brewer was just 2 seconds back in second place, and fellow senior Samantha Krahling took third in 19:04.

Incredible New Astrophotograph of the Small Magellanic Cloud
A new portrait of the Small Magellanic Cloud reveals our galactic neighbor in unprecedented detail. The picture, taken in infrared light by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, is helping astronomers better understand the life cycle of dust in the galaxy.
Understanding where dust comes from, how it forms bodies such as planets, and how it gets dispersed in the spaces between objects can result in new insights into galaxy formation. And the Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy close to the Milky Way, is an analog for some of the tiny galaxies that first populated the universe.

Hopefully Starlin Castro is not Dominican for "Bobby Hill"
It appears the Cubs Propaganda Machine is firing its opening salvos in its carpet bombing campaign to sell us loyal faithful Cub fans on shortstop prospect Starlin Castro.
Those of us who remember the lean years after Sammy Sosa saved baseball, can remember how the Chicago media, orchestrated by Andy MacPhail and John McDonough, had "super-prospects" Corey Patterson, Hee Seop Choi and Bobby Hill shoved down our throats. In the beginning of this decade, for whatever reason, the minor league scouting organizations were sold on these three guys as the saviors of our franchise, our very-own home grown position-playing products that would come up en masse around 2001 and man center field, first base, and shortstop for a dozen or so years. Therefore, we would be free from having to spend valuable resources chasing down high-priced free agents to fill these spots. We needed hope at the time, and Hill, Choi and Patterson were the hope of the future.
Of course, since these guys were all products of the Cubs Farm System 2000, none of them learned a thing about plate discipline, and out of the three, only Corey is still hanging on the fringes of the game at this time.
So, now, we need a leadoff man. We need team speed. And we all know that, for a shortstop, Ryan Theriot is a pretty decent second baseman. Along comes a shortstop prospect with a pulse, albeit one born in 1990 (!?! I freakin' have KIDS older than Castro!!). Dumbing this down to its simplest, assuming Castro was ready for the majors right stumpin' now, would he fill a hole?
Question? If he was so damn ready, why wasn't he up with us in September, so we could expose him for what he was, like we did with Tyler Colvin? It would have been nice to see him get 30 or so at-bats against semi-big league pitching. Would have been nice to see if he was as good in the field as Theriot, let alone Andres Blanco?
Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to see a 19 year old kid come up and sheep-dog-hump the league for us. That just doesn't hardly ever happen. And let's think about all the farm talk of the last year.
Jake Fox was molesting AAA. Josh Vitters was the central part of the Peavy package. Colvin was on his way back. I don't remember hearing jack splat about Starlin Castro. So why now? What has happened between the end of the season and now?
The cynical amongst us may theorize that the brain trust got together and came to the same conclusion I have had for months - that "Theriot wasn't much of a shortstop nor a viable leadoff candidate. Let's see, who do we have out there? Blanco? No, can't hit dick, no, no.......Darwin Barney? Eeewww! Gross!! Who else?......Johnathon Mota? Gawd, he hit .238 in Tennessee, anyone else...Castro? What, Fidel? No, what's his name....Oh Yeah, Starlin! Hey, that's a great name! A Star's Name! Yeah, let's pimp HIM to the masses..."
So is he for real? Is he being floated up there as a smokescreen to excuse our lack of off-season activity towards obtaining a REAL leadoff hitter? Or is he going to get rushed out there way too soon, in the fine tradition of Cubs uber-prospects like Patterson, Choi, Joe Carter?
I'm not going to say anything pithy, like REMEMBER THE NAME...because first of all, I know nothing about this guy, and am in no position to pimp him to you all, and secondly, it appears the Cubs themselves plan to push him all up in our faces, so fat chance you're going to forget Starlin Castro. For better or worse.
Starlin Castro's 19 year old
Starlin Castro's 19 year old season was very similar to that of Hanley Ramirez which means.... absolutely nothing. It would be nice if he were the real deal though.

Nike Air Max 90 Current Huarache – DQM + Huf – Holiday '09
May 8th, 2009 by Aaron Hope | 3 comments
A vivid image surely comes to mind any time you hear or read the word 'Hufquake'. This modern classic jumped off of a pack of Dunks and Air Force 1s about three years ago, with a few updates in the interim. This latest release is a modern classic in its own right, adding the crackley pattern on a pair of Nike Air Max 90 Current Huaraches. The palette on these is quite similar to a pair of 'standard' AM90s from a couple years back but features more black, along with the Flywire and Free sole upgrades.
Along with these come another pair of AM90 Current Huaraches designed by another three-letter streetwear mainstay. The DQM edition features their signature fleshy palette of pink, red and brown with a little white thrown in for balance. We expect both of these for the Holiday 2009 season and you can see all of the preview pics we've accumulated after the jump, including some closeups we snapped at Sneaker Con 2009. via Unheardof

Evolution Gears, Should be fun...
Feb 9 2012, 11:07 PM
Post #1
Oh! What's that in apples?
Type: Designer
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Why I decided on creating this project?
After a ton of uncompleted projects I finally decided to man-up and bring one to the very end. The premise behind Evolution Gears is that it's supposed to be simple in its complexity while being fun and addicting at the same time. By a "simple complexity" I mean it should play like a real RPG, carefully combining elements of Japanese and Western RPGs alike into a cohesive whole.
What is the premise of the project?
The premise is: you assemble a 4-man team and use a large number of skill combinations to run through different dungeons collecting loot, solving puzzles and avoiding traps. The 4-man team can be changed in the quest hubs between dungeons, at special locations within a dungeon or through other, special means. Your motivation to actually beat a dungeon should lie in a main story quest for that dungeon, as well as several side quests. Aside from main, story dungeons there would be smaller side-dungeons. Simple, effective, fun!
Strange gears are set in motion as a Clockwork City Lord disappears right before he was about to be arrested by the Clockwork City Inspectorate for performing research that was deemed illegal. This research involved incorporating mechanical parts into a human body through Connection. Afraid that this technology might fall into wrong hands, the Council of Lords decides to assign a special detail on the case. Composed of current and ex-military personnel, all with supernatural Connection powers, and led by Inspector Eric Podmore, the team's primary objective is to locate and secure the runaway Lord and his research at all costs.
Clockwork City is the most industrialized city-state in the whole world. Its accomplishments, like the great inter-city railroad (which is still unfinished), echo throughout the Land. The wider state area is split into "Circles", each of which has its own number. Circles are usually run by Lords who own the largest industrial facility in that area. Ordinary people work in these facilities which operate almost as independent cities themselves. All Lords comprise the Council of Lords which meets in the Central Circle, or the City itself. The council passes decisions that affect the city-state as a whole; it also discusses foreign policy of the City and decides about major common projects (such as the railroad, for example). The Inspectorate is an organization under the supervision of the Council. It deals with Connection, a supernatural power that people of the Land try to harness since the beginning of civilization. One of the primary tasks of the Inspectorate is to control the general use of Connection and prevent or secure major Connection-related anomalies that happen from time to time.
To: Lord Charles Howle
Designation: Inspectorate Black Seal, Director Hughes
Dear Lord Howle,
although we have processed and approved your inquiry of access to our archives, I have took the liberty of putting together a list of suitable candidates for your needs. The disappearance of Lord Paulder is a matter of both the Inspectorate's AND the Council's interest and I hope that you will at least consider this list before putting together a team. Frankly, I'm a bit insulted that you didn't come directly to me with this problem as I'm sure we could've planned a more effective strategy than to blindly waste all these resources on clearing up the mess the Council itself caused. Well, that's your decision anyways…
Name: Eric Podmore
Age: 30
Occupation: Inspector
Origin: Third Circle
Connection Class: E
Eric Podmore started his career as a security officer in one of the Third Cricle's industrial complexes working for Lord Paulder. During the war with Oramar he was drafted to a unit which dealt in counter-intelligence. It goes without saying that he had quite a few Connection-related experiences while serving there… After the war, he joined the Inspectorate and rose quickly from an ordinary operative to the rank of inspector because of his wartime intelligence training. Although he doesn't have the Connection affinity to be a useful field operative, his abilities as a unit leader should prove invaluable in our pursuit of Lord Paulder. Other than that I personally assure you that he will follow orders exactly to the letter, no matter their nature.
Name: Thaddeus Thorpe
Age: 33
Occupation: Engineer
Origin: Third Circle
Connection Class: C
Paulder's prodigy of sorts, Thorpe worked as a mechanical engineer in the Third Circle on incorporation of mechanical parts into a human body via Connection. During the war he was gravely injured when his battleship was sunk by an Oramarian vessel. Thorpe managed to survive and with the help of the very technology Paulder was developing, he was partially rebuilt. During the last two years he, himself upgraded his implants and is now a valuable asset for the Inspecorate in the capture of Lord Paulder and, when time allows, continuation of his research. His knowledge of the fugitive and the technology which he was developing make him an excellent addition to your detail.
Name: Willard Lesphouse
Age: 34
Occupation: Ranger
Origin: Sawer Region
Connection Class: B
Willard Lesphouse started out in the Clockwork military as a scout. His Connection affinity allowed him to quickly move up the ranks to become a captain in a special operations group with which he completed several high-tier assignments. Those even included several assassinations of Oramar's commanding officers. After the war he remained with the military as a tracker in the Sawer Forest where he reported of various military activities of the Flaming Trident clan. He is now in service as a border patroller in Sawer Region, just south of Fort Sawer. Lesphouse's Connection abilities and tracking experience will surely come in handy when searching for Lord Paulder.
9 playable classes
Choose between 9 classes to compose your own 4-man team to bring into combat. Even if you don't like the setup in the current mission, you can switch your party at the current base hub or at designated drop points in the mission itself.
Character Customization
With the stat distribution system, six base stats to increase and an extended equip scene you can customize any character and expand on their original role.
Over 320 skills
Each class has a separate 10-skill set divided into 3 skill trees in addition to 6 hidden skills per class.
Environmental skills
Aside from using the skills in battle, certain puzzles require of you to use those skills to progress through the dungeon or they can be used to discover secret areas and paths. A system by FenixFyreX

Book Review
Genre: Mystery/Suspense/Thriller, Mystery, Private Investigator
2002 Best P.I. Mystery Award Winner
Carlotta Carlyle, Boston's streetwise P.I., is back in action and at the top of her game as she agrees to work for Eddie Conklin, a former cop now heading a private security firm. Carlotta's assigned to various sites of "The Dig," Boston's Central Artery/Third Harbor Tunnel Project. Amidst allegations of graft and fraud, Carlotta goes undercover at the offices of Horgan Construction.
Fortune is smiling on Carlotta as she receives another assignment, locating one missing Veronica James for her friend and housemate, Beacon Hill resident Dana Endicott. Carlotta senses that all is not on the up and up when Dana refuses her access to the missing girl's room.
Soon, an "accidental fall" occurs at the construction site, leaving Liz and Gerry Horgan harried and falling behind on the project. But tying up loose ends is what Carlotta does best, as she leads the reader on a wild ride to the gripping conclusion. (Oct., 288 pp., $23.95)

Biblical Peacemaking Seminar
Strained marriages, difficult relationships, broken families. Conflict hits us from every side. We know there is a problem, but is there a solution?
SouthPoint Church would like to invite you to come and hear Paul Cornwell of Crosssroads Ministries give an introductory seminar on Biblical Peacemaking. Paul has been ministering in local churches for over 30 years, and is actively involved in helping churches become healthy through pointing them to the ultimate Peace Maker, Jesus Christ.
Saturday, July 13th from 9:00 to 1:00
Edison State College Auditorium
26300 Airport Road
Punta Gorda, FL 33950
We all deal with conflicts every day. It can be awkward. You can feel helpless and hopeless. You want things to change...but how? The Peacemaker Seminar will equip you to be a biblical peacemaker with practical tools to address the everyday conflicts of your life. Along with the practical tools, the conference will include some interactive times for personal application. Each participant will understand how Christ is applied to their situation. Even if a person is not in an active conflict they will learn how to understand their own heart. And when a conflict arises they will learn how to honor the Lord more effectively than they have in the past. This instruction from God's Word will renew your hope in the midst of conflict through the power of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Whether you are in the middle of a conflict in your home, your church, your marriage, or in any other relationship, or if you desire to help others work through the difficulties they face, come and learn the truth of Christ's words, "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called sons of God."
Listen to an interview with Donald Johnson that aired on WAY-FM describing SouthPoint Church and the Biblical Peacemaking Seminar.
The seminar is free of charge,but seating is limited. Please registering online. If you have any questions, please call the church at (941) 621-2093; or emailing us at email@example.com.

Super Bowl XLVIII MVP Odds: Manning Leads the Way
1/25/14 in NFL | GeorgeMon | 159 respect
One of the easiest, and most popular, Super Bowl prop bets is the most valuable player bet. The award has gone to a player on the winning team in 46 of the last 47 Super Bowl matchups and has not gone the other way since the 1970s. A quarterback has also won the award in four straight Super Bowls and in 10 of the last 15 games. So, simply wagering on the quarterback of the team you think will win gives you a solid shot at earning a little money on the big game. Here is a quick look at the Super Bowl MVP odds.
The favorites
Peyton Manning: +120
Russell Wilson: +400
Marshawn Lynch: +500
The rest
Knowshon Moreno: +1500
Percy Harvin: +1500
Demaryius Thomas: +1800
Richard Sherman: +2000
Eric Decker: +3000
Wes Welker: +3500
Julius Thomas: +3500
Earl Thomas: +5000
Doug Baldwin: +5000

Everyone needs someone they can depend on5 Reviews
A phone call, and meetings
A week later her mobile ringing interrupted Willow from sifting through some old drawings of hers.
"Hey Will" Frank smiled. "How are you?
"Well, the brothers Grimm are fine but Grimm the younger has been unusually quiet but as Al's gone home that's kinda understandable. Ray is-"
"Yeah?" then she bit her lip. If that one eager, inquiring word hadn't given her feelings away then nothing would. There was an intake of breath at the other end of the line and then she could practically hear his grin. "You like him don't you?" he teased.
"Erum..." she stammered, her face going a fiery red. Damn. She was acting like a teenager. Then she went even redder remembering her teenage years.
"Aww," he laughed. "It's okay. He needs a girl." In the background she could hear someone asking, "Who does?"
"You, Ray, mate. Can I tell him?" Frank directed the question at Willow. She shrugged, despite the fact he couldn't see her. "You'll tell him anyway."
"I will not! I respect the privacy of-" He stopped mid tirade. "Yeah," he admitted. "It'd probably slip out."
"Just tell him" she said wearily. He did so and there was a loud thump followed by an explosive shit.
"He fell over," Frank informed Willow. She laughed. "I'd better go," she said. "See you." As Frank lowered the phone from his ear and grinned at Ray. "Smooth mate. Real smooth.
There was no going back now. He knew. She was having serious regrets about letting Frank tell him but it was done now.
"Mom, stop fussing," Willow said calmly. "It's all arranged."
"I know but-" her mom was wringing her hands, looking woebegone.
"Mom, I'm twenty six. I can take care of myself," Willow cut across her. She glanced round the airport. At the other goodbyes taking place in the crowded place. At the sister glaring at her.
"Jen," she began, and then stopped. "Thanks for the memories," she quoted, smiling slightly.
"Even though they weren't that great," her sister spat back. Willow nodded concedingly. "You might say that. I wouldn't." Just then her flight was called. "I'll see you soon," she promised hugging her parents.
"Jen, I'll...I'll see you when you get back." Jenny just glowered at her in return.
"Love you too," Willow smiled and turned to walk to the plane.
Wasn't the first time she'd been on a plane. Wasn't her first time in America. No, not at all.
She left the airport and fumbled about in her jeans pocket as her phone began to ring.
"Hi. Frank?" she started but was cut off as someone jumped on her back.
"Hey!" the random guy crowed. As he toppled off her, she realised it wasn't just some random person. It was the one, the only, Frank Iero.
"Hey! It's the Frankster," she grinned. "What you doin' here?
"I could ask you the same question," he shot back. "At least I'm in the right country." She smiled at him but didn't reply as a man with a quiff. (A quiff?!? How could he!) came running up.
"Frankie, you shouldn't go running off like that. You could get lost," he cautioned. "I'm sorry, was he bothering you?" he asked turning to face Willow. Then went very red. "Willow. Er...hi."
"Hey Mikey," she laughed. "And Frank, this is America? Cause if it is then I am in the right country."
"So what you doing here?" Frank asked, not noticing Mikey's obvious embarrassment as he slowly walked away. She paused, looking serious. "Funeral," she told him quietly.
"Oh." He Stopped. "Sorry." He waited a couple of seconds before, "Come and say hi to the guys."
She laughed. "I really should be going. Hotel room to book into."
"We can give you a lift," Frank assured her. "No problem."
"If that's okay?" she checked.
"Sure. It's fine," he nodded.
"What? He can't bring her over!" Gerard said, sounding uncharacteristically panicked.
"Why?" Bob asked interested. "What did you tell her?" Gerard shot him a look.
"Oh, that's what you told her," Bob muttered. "Well go and talk to John. He's in the tour bus, waiting for us." Gerard stalked off avoiding all eye contact with Willow.
"Hey," she said shyly, dragging her suitcase as she and Frank came up to Ray.
"Will! Hang on a minute; did we get the wrong flight? I thought this was New York, not Brighton," Ray exclaimed. "Gee it sure looks like New York. I told you we shouldn't have let Mikey read the boards."
She laughed despite the fact she knew she was going red. "Nah, you're in New York. I mean, it sure looks like New York."
He gave her a quizzical glance. "Didn't know you'd been to America before?" he half asked.
"Yeah, ages ago," she told him with a smile. "Uh, Frankie said you guys could give me a lift."
"Nah, you can walk," he teased.
"Fine then," she blustered jokingly. "I'll just take my suitcase and leave." She turned to walk away but Ray grabbed her hand.
"Don't go," he said softly. She blushed even redder.
"Hey guys! Frank said hyperly, completely wrecking the moment. "Come on, come on. Get on the bus." Ray rolled his eyes at Willow and she giggled before following him onto the bus. Which was a tip. No, that was too mild. Think of your bedroom at it's messiest with everything off the shelves and on the floor. Times that by 100, add in a nuclear bomb and you'd be getting close to how messy it was.
"Oh my-" Willow breathed.
"Yeah," Ray grinned as the door closed and the bus started to move.
She sat down on the sofa next to Ray.
"So what you doing here?" he asked her.
"Funeral," she said shortly, looking down at her feet. He pulled a face.
"Ouch," he murmured. "Where you staying again?" he asked in a bid to change the subject.
"Er..." Columbus Studios Hostel," Willow told him before looking up once more.
"Well, I'd love to tell you that's where were staying but sadly it's not," he said with a smile. She smiled back. "Yeah. It's the cheapest I could find."
"You're really confident, you know that?" he said suddenly. "Like you just say stuff." She gave him a startled look. "That's just the way I am," she shrugged.
"I know," he nodded, "And it's amazing." By the end of the sentence, his face was extraordinarily close to hers. He closed the gap and their lips met. For a moment she kissed him back. And was in that moment that Mikey started to walk in. Then saw the two on the sofa. And the realisation that he was never going to be with Willow hit him like a ton of bricks and he turned, half furious, half miserable and stormed to the front of the bus, where his brother and John, the driver, were.
After that moment, Willow pulled away breaking the kiss, her eyes full of pain, surprise, confusion and bewilderment.
"I can't...Ray, I'm sorry, I can't." she whispered as she stood up and walked down the bus, stopping as she walked into Frank, leaving Ray bewildered, confused and hurt. A lot like Willow had been many years ago.
An: Thanks for all the reviews for my non chpater, but guys, school's not that bad. But thanks anyway. Hope you enjoyed this chapter.

You don't need to put that in there. Who cares if they don't like what you have to say, because you are the "expert".
But I will say, a lot of the metal riffs adhere to a more standard sound than their usual chaos (via Alaska and the Silent Circus).
Get rid of the But I will say.
Though the chaos still resides, it seems very calculated and frankly, I can bob my head to this album as a whole eons more than past efforts.
Get rid of the I can bob my head... You could try stating that this record has a better grove than past records or something to that effect. I think this can be a good review, but you need to reread and reword some of this.

As for the review, well, I will give you a bit of advice. You need to seriously sit down and think for a moment, "Does this review convey across to the reader why the album worthy of a 5?". Firstly, the review is a scatterbrain mess and has no flow of logical sense at all. Secondly, you have way too many grammatical errors, telling me that you did not proofread. Thirdly, please try and stick to the music and not ramble off into a topic that has little value towards contributing to the point of the review. A metaphor is nice once in a while when it's tied into the subject, but not going off topic with proof that Lars Ulrich is a bad drummer. We already knew that hahaha. Anyways, this was meant as constructive criticism.This Message Edited On 01.23.09Digging: Mistigo Varggoth Darkestra - The Key to the Gates of the Apocalypse

NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly 300 stray and displaced pets hunkered down at an emergency shelter set up in a Brooklyn warehouse by the ASPCA in the chaotic weeks after Superstorm Sandy.
Many were reunited with their owners while others were adopted. Now there's just one left: a little white kitten named Joy.
The ASPCA is hoping someone will come forward and offer her a home.
Joy was probably around six months old when she was found wandering the streets of Brooklyn's waterlogged Gravesend section just days after the storm.
The ASPCA put the cat up for adoption in May, but there haven't been any takers so far.
Anyone interested in adopting Joy should call the ASPCA Adoption Center at 212-876-7700 ext. 4900, or visit Joy's adoption page on the web (http://bit.ly/1gMDyFr).

If I look at it from a realistic, not a perfectionist perspective, I am not nearly disabled enough to deserve the treatment that disabled people do. I mean okay, I am neither a scientist or a soldier, but I am able to hold down a job, (hopefully) finish college, and do all the self-care stuff I need. Having Aspergers means to me mostly little things, such as being single, being looked at as weird sometimes, elevated cold resistance, fluctuating energy levels (kinda like bipolar, only that it does not affect mood, but the urge to be awake and move around, regardless of emotions), intense interests, being baffled by certain human customs, etc. - not a crippling condition. Yes, I have other problems too (namely, being lousy at math and finding my way around, being a woman, and bad eyes), but still, these are common things which, if we take the general population into account, ought to exclude me only from reproduction, not life as a whole. In an ideal world, of course, it would be different, but the whole point of eugenics being necessary is that we do not live in such a world. (That said, I would not refuse the opportunity of being a donor if the law would allow it. But that is a somewhat different business.)
And even if I still had Aspergers but in addition I was a math genius (like many Aspergians are), and/or had a healthy male body with 20/20 vision (even if completely unable to discern colours - indeed, that could even be an advantage), there would be no reason whatsoever to get rid of me for the sake of economy or future generations. And yet, according to most manuals including the DSM, and the training of medical personnel, I would have not only a disability, but a mental one, which should unquestionably mean early liquidation. Now do not get me wrong, I personally would not object to that, because I do not fear nonexistence (why should I, really?), but if everybody with Aspergers gets the same classification, and therefore treatment, would not that be dangerous for the human species as a whole? This is, in some sense, the "would you kill Einstein?" argument - indeed, there are many Aspergians who contributed, and continue to contribute, to human knowledge and technology, and in some areas it is precisely the Aspergian traits that make them able to do so in a major way.
That being said, I am fully aware that I am one of the lucky ones. If autistic traits coincide with lower intelligence or significantly impaired verbal skills, that can paint quite a different picture. Also, if early development among neurotypical peers maims the personality structure irrevocably (causing very strong anxiety for instance), it can render the individual unable to work. There are many different ways for someone on the autistic spectrum to be, and only a portion of these ways are compatible with a full life. However, that does not mean that autistic traits should automatically mean disability, and therefore liquidation. It means that each individual should be assessed individually, not by a somewhat arbitrary category they seem to belong to. The question should not be, therefore, "Is Aspergers a disability?", but rather "Is this particular person disabled?"
For people are not statistical averages. Especially within the autism spectrum, with the "islets of ability" and general unevenness of talents, there is no uniformity in the level of usefulness either. This type of assessment takes more time and effort for sure, but it is not dangerous in the long run and can even yield spectacular results, if used consistently.

Big Wave Trading Portfolio Update And Top Current Holdings
Joshua is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The Big Wave Trading Portfolio Model remains under a BUY signal from 1/2/13. There is added pressure arising on the overall model, thanks to the Wednesday and Thursday distribution days and the overall wedging pattern of the overall uptrend. This, along with the lack of gains above 1.5% on higher volume, following the 1/2/13 signal, keeps us in the cautious bull camp which is where we have basically been following the third week of January.
Despite the problems in the overall uptrend, we remain in an uptrend and until we have a series of 5 to 6 clear distribution days over a 2 to 3 week period we find it foolish to fight the Fed and unlimited QE. Some of our current long positions gave heavier volume partial profit taking signals and a few recent new long positions triggered cut loss levels. But overall it was a fairly orderly pullback. So far, at least.
On top of that, we had multiple buyable gap up signals that worked very well intraday. It was a 4 for 4 session with 3 big IPO winners. Even though volume was lower overall on Friday, we have learned that price is all that matters. If stocks still have more of an explosive volatile bias to the upside on an individual basis then we will have our models focus on that area of the market.
What will change our minds? The same things that always do. Our new longs start failing immediately, our current holdings trigger profit taking signals, and/or the market begins a rapid decline in heavier volume. Right now, we are on watch for further heavy selling. However, calling tops here, as it always has been throughout human history, is a foolish and unwise proposition.

The FX Global Call covers the main talking points from a news meeting involving DJ FX Trader editors in New York, London and Singapore, as well as other FX hot spots when warranted.
1. The yen is back under 89, gaining some strength after Japan's Economy Minister Akira Amari warned that there's such a thing as a too-weak currency. His comments were mild compared with overwhelming evidence that Prime Minster Shinzo Abe is putting the pieces in place for a major push to undermine the yen. But for investors growing wary of continuing to short the yen after an 11% drop in under two months, Mr. Amari's comments were the perfect opportunity to get out.
2. Meanwhile, Mr. Abe and the Bank of Japan were busy laying out the argument for more stimulus. He convened a group of academics and economists to discuss monetary policy, a meeting widely seen as a hunt for a successor to current Bank of Japan head Masaaki Shirakawa, whose term ends in April. The BOJ cut its assessment of eight of nine regional economies, raising expectations the central bank will set a 2% inflation target and ease further when it meets Jan. 21-22. And the Japanese government announced plans to issue an additional 7.8 trillion yen ($88 billion) in bonds this year to pay for a stimulus package announced last week as well as a shortfall in the national pension system. Bond sales will now total Y52 trillion, above the previous government's Y44 trillion limit.
3. U.K. inflation came in at 2.7% for a third straight month, remaining stubbornly above the Bank of England's 2% target. Persistent high inflation is one reason the BOE has been slower than some other central banks to ease and cut interest rates. While the price outlook doesn't look to change anytime soon, it remains to be seen how incoming BOE head Mark Carney will approach the situation when he takes over from Mervyn King in July.
4. Some rare good economic news from the euro zone: the region's trade surplus hit a record high in November. The data is tempered by other recent indicators showing Germany, the currency bloc's biggest economy, slowed during the fourth quarter.
5. A New Zealand business confidence survey came in stronger than expected, with a net 19% of businesses expecting conditions to improve, compared with a net 1% forecast for a decline in the previous poll. The report boosted the New Zealand dollar, as more investors anticipate the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will raise rates earlier than expected.
7. A busy day for U.S. data, including retail sales and producer prices. With three Fed speeches scheduled, there will be plenty of opportunities for the market's battle to play out over how and when the central bank will pull back on easing. Eric Rosengren is a voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee this year and Narayana Kocherlakota and Charles Plosser will be in 2014. On Monday, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said the economy was still underperforming, a sign that the central bank is unlikely to change course anytime soon.
8 a.m. EST Fed's Eric Rosengren speaks in Providence
8:30 a.m. Fed's Narayana Kocherlakota speaks in Golden Valley, Minn.
8:30 a.m. December Producer Prices: -0.1% (+0.1% core) expected
8:30 a.m. December Retail Sales: +0.2% expected
8:30 a.m. January New York Empire State Survey: -2 expected
10 a.m. November Business Inventories: +0.3% expected
12:30 p.m. Fed's Charles Plosser speaks in Rochester, N.Y.

You Did What!?!?!??!4 Reviews
blah bleb bluh blea blah
He got into his closet and slipped on a pair of baggy jeans, a plain green t-shirt, and his new 'I Love Poker' hat. Once he was dressed, he went downstairs and into the kitchen, where Pete, Joe and Andy were sitting at the table. He made himself some poached eggs and bacon and sat down at the table.
"Good morning." He said to his bandmates.
Pete giggled "Good morning."
Joe and Andy stared.
"What are you laughing about?" Andy asked.
"Let's just say, revenge is a bitch." Pete laughed.
"What did you do?" Patrick began panicking.
"Let's take a look outside, shall we?" Pete got up and went out to the front yard. Andy, Joe and Patrick followed nervously behind.
Pete stopped in the front of the yard and backup a few steps. "Would ya take a look at that.."
Patrick, Joe and Andy turned to the house. On top of the roof was a very large sign that read: ' I Patrick Martin Stump have never once in my 24 years of life, have had sex.'
Patrick's cheeks went completely red with embarrassment. It normally takes alot to get Patrick mad, but this was just about enough to make him explode. He turned to Pete, who was rolling on the ground laughing. He also noticed that many of the neighbors were coming out of their house to read the sign and laugh. He was offically the joke of the town.
"Pete. What the fuck have you done!?" He screamed.
Pete continued his fit of laughter and ignored Patrick's statement.
Joe and Andy were trying not to laugh, but they failed and collapsed to the ground to join Pete.
"This isn't funny!!" Patrick yelled. He stormed back into the house, slamming the door behind him.
After Joe caught his breath he said, "Oh my god Pete, you've really done it this time. That was priceless!"
Pete nodded his head. "I know. Did you see his face when he saw it? Oh my god!"
"He looked so pissed though." Andy said.
"Yeah yeah, i know. He's gonna kill my ass later." Pete laughed.
After another 30 minutes of laughter, the three boys decided it would be a good idea to go inside and apologize to Patrick. When they got inside, Patrick was crawling out the second floor window, taking down the sign.
"Sorry Patrick. Pete said walking into his room.
After taking down the sign, Patrick crawled back through the window.
"It's alright Pete." He said sarcasticly.
"So, i guess were even now??" Pete asked.
"Oh yeah, totally." Patrick said trying to keep himself from punching his friend.
Patrick quickly walked past Pete and down the stairs.
Pete figured that he would let Patrick cool off, and go to call Kate.
"Hello?" She answered the phone.
"Hey babe."
"Hey Pete. What's up?"
"Just wondering if you wanted to go to a movie. I heard there's a bunch of chick flicks at the theatures if you wanted to check it out."
"Sounds like a date. Pick me up at seven?"
"Definately. See you soon."
"Bye." She hung up the phone.
Later on that night, Pete went on his wonderful date, where they went to the movies and saw a chick flick just like he said they could.
When he got home, eveyone seemed to be asleep, so he did exsactly same. Little did he know, Patrick had stayed awake.
When Pete had fallen asleep, Patrick snuck into his room and did the unthinkable.
OK, this does deserve some comments. I'm not updating until i get five more reviews! get to reviewin' kiddows!

MARIAH CAREY gushed about how she lost 70 lbs. of baby weight in seven months when she went on ROSIE O'DONNEL's show to display what husband Nick Cannon likes to call her "1990′s body."
The diva made her first public appearance on a talk show since the birth of her babies riding a crescent moon that was lowered unto the stage, diva-style…it didn't miss the attention of celebrity gossip websites that she was wearing a skin-tight black mini-skirt and cleavage-baring leather jacket to go with her new post-baby body…
It seems Nick Cannon had every right to be excited. Behold his pre-adolescent dreams made flesh!
The 42-year-old first-time mother of twins told Rosie her new body was all the work of a strict diet and exercise, although she did admit the exercise came much, much later due to the C-section she had to birth the twins in April.
"In the beginning, when I first had the babies, I had so much edema … water and swelling. Most pregnant woman have that just in their feet,"
Carey explained.
"One day I was doing my thank-you notes and I noticed it started rising up the leg, so I had edema. … I didn't think I would ever be the same person."
But Mariah embarked on her Jenny (Craig) diet where she lost a good portion of the water that was causing the edema.
"The first week, I lost 40 lbs. … of just water. It was just water, initially. When I started with the program, I lost at least 30 lbs. of weight that needed to be lost."
Still, she admits she carries one "bad" habit to this day: she never weighs herself.
"I never weighed myself. People will think I'm a liar but it's true. This is another cliché phrase, I'm a big boned girl … I'm tall and so I always weigh more."
So Mariah goes by dress size instead.
"I would tend to go, 'Does this size dress fit me that I wore three years ago? I'm good, let's go.' I would go by what it looked like, how I felt."
Hey now, Mariah Carey was able to do it, thereby sending her husband into throes of lust and adoration. Maybe it's time we get started on that fitness regimen, too.

We featured David Muir on our Facebook page earlier this month, which received an overwhelming positive response. We asked him a few questions about himself and how he got interested in crocheting.
1. Tell me a little bit about yourself, like where you're from and why you decided to join the military.
I'm originally from Easton, Maryland but I call Pooler, Georgia home now. I joined the Army because of the "adventure" and "awesome toys" — eventually it became more than that. I worked with a group of individuals that became my great friends, and my family.
I was in the Army for 10 years until I decided to seek new adventures. Many of us were stationed together for 6+ years. At that point, others started getting out or changing duty station. It just changed. It wasn't the same. I needed to try something new. When I got out of the Army in July 2011 I lived in Spain for the summer. I even worked at a scuba dive shop just for fun.
|David Muir and his first afghan,
made with Hometown USA.
After that I moved to Pooler, GA where I lived with my brother, Danny. I worked for Gulfstream as a Quality Engineer but soon missed my Army brothers. When I heard my old unit was deploying to Afghanistan, I decided to look for a job with the slight chance I'll see them again. Working on the Apache Helicopter is my specialty so our field is quite small. Unfortunately I didn't get the same base as my old unit, so I'm not in the military anymore. Now I work for DynCorp Aviation.

Featured in the New York Times and around the world, David Babcock became the Guinness world record holder for knitting the longest scarf (12 feet!) while running a marathon in Kansas City last October. Along with a whole lot of skill and endurance, David credits his choice in using Lion Brand's Hometown USA as a factor in his accomplishment!
|1. Which came first knitting or running?
It's not an easy answer — it's a timeline of failure and discovery for both with middle-aged knees, toys no one wants to play with, and hats no one wants to wear. I started trying to run for exercise in 2009 at age 37, but had a lot of knee pain, so it was an off-and-on thing. I watched the NYC marathon that year and noticed some barefoot runners but it would take almost two years to figure out how to manage the knee pain for myself. The end of that same year a student of mine made a crochet hat for me. Over Christmas break I decided that the hat was too short and learned how to crochet to extend it myself. By February 2010 I had some basic skills and discovered amigurumi-style toy-making. Over the next Christmas break I bought a beginning knitting kit but didn't get into knitting until that fall in 2011.
By the following spring I had found that minimal-style running resolved my knee issues and by mid-April 2012 I was running in water socks and had found Susie Hewer's blog. (Editor's note: Susie Hewer is a runner/knitter as well. She held the world record for knitting the longest scarf while running a marathon before David!)

One of our friends on Facebook called it "the original pig in a blanket" The Mangalista is a breed of pig that was developed in Hungary in the 1930s to provide a fattier meat. The delicacy of Mangalista meat was initially reserved for the Habsburg Royalty, but the rich, fatty flavor made it a popular choice by the end of the 19th century.
Times have changed and tastes and health concerns make the Mangalista a much less desirable pig to eat. It also takes twice as long to raise a super fatty Mangalitsa as it does to raise other pigs, taking over a year for them to reach 300 pounds, rather than 175 pounds.
The curious look of this animal is what we love. Like a character out of Star Wars that sprung from the imagination of a yarn-loving film-maker, the Mangalista post on Facebook turns out to be one of your favorites this year. If you'd like to discover more extraordinary images, stories and ideas, we welcome you to join us on Facebook.

New York Comic Con has been over for more than two weeks and I'm still suffering from the post-con depression (i.e. that listless, nostalgic feeling you get when you've just returned from Disneyland). However I'm still going through all the photos I took from the event. To my surprise, I saw quite a few yarn crafts and couldn't help but share them with you.
They were all impressively creative because the majority required no pattern, just a lot of imagination.
|This girl crocheted her entire
Ruby Rose (RWBY) cosplay.
|Doctor Who wristwarmers
found on Etsy.
|An adorable Boo costume from Monsters, Inc.
|This needle felted R2D2

|She just started to learn crochet and wanted to show off her skills with
this Magikarp (Pokemon) hat.

her Little Sister cosplay (Bioshock) instead.

As a traveling salesperson for Lion Brand for over 30 years, I've crisscrossed the country meeting knitters and crocheters from all corners of the United States and hearing their stories. In addition to yarncrafters, throughout my travels I've sometimes been lucky enough to run into some celebrities. Being that I am a huge sports fan, it is always extra exciting when I run into an athlete. During my travels, I have met the likes of Muhammad Ali and Darryl Strawberry.
My father, like me, traveled for the company for over 40 years and he too ran into his share of famous faces. One of my personal favorites that he had the pleasure of meeting was Deacon Jones of the Fearsome Foursome from Los Angeles Rams. Deacon sadly passed away today and it reminded me of my father, how much he loved traveling for Lion Brand, and of his adventures on the road.
May Deacon rest in peace.

Writer/illustrator/knitter Franklin Habit joins us for his monthly column on the life of a yarn crafter.
I was at a yarn shop a few weeks ago, troubleshooting a thumb gusset in the company of those who understand the importance of good thumb gussets, when the topic of steeks came up.
A steek, in case you haven't run across the term before, is an opening cut into a piece of hand-knit fabric. There are many ways to create one, but they all end by taking scissors to your knitting. Snip! It gives some knitters the shakes to even contemplate this. It shouldn't, but it does.
That's not what I want to write about today.
I mentioned to the group that I've launched a class in which the students cut steeks, then sew zippers into the openings. Zipper installation is another thing that gives some knitters the shakes. It shouldn't, but it does.
That's also not what I want to write about today.
"I'd take that class," said one of the junior knitters at the table. There was a murmur of agreement from the other junior knitters. The most junior shook her head. "I'd like to," she said. "But I'm not good with a sewing machine."
"You don't need a sewing machine," I said. "In my class we use crochet to secure the edges."
"Forget it," said the least junior knitter. "I don't crochet."
"It's only basic crochet," I said. "Even if you haven't done it before, you can pick this up in sixty seconds."
"No," she said, under a slightly curled lip. "I don't touch crochet hooks. Ever."
Several of the others–junior and senior–echoed her. No hooks. No hooks ever. Well, maybe to pick up dropped stitches. Never to crochet.
"I don't crochet," she said. "I'm a knitter!"
That's what I want to write about today.
