∇E = 0 in an Ohmic, 2d Hall conductor with constant B?
by ManDay

|Share this thread:
Apr30-13, 06:46 AM
I've been trying to figure this out for long now but unfortunally, I'm not able to prove that ∇E = 0 in an Ohmic, 2d Hall conductor E = Rj + v×B with B = const (and orthogonal to j).
There is quite a bit of subtlety involved in how to interpret v in that sort of ad-hoc generalization of Ohm's law, and I'm not 100% sure I got that right. If we define ρ by j := ρv and assume a static background-charge ρ' so that ∇E = (ρ' + ρ)/ε I end up at
∇E = -1/ρ²(B×j + B²/(ρR)j)·∇ρ
from Ohm's relation. However, I don't see how that would prove that ∇E = 0 given that this PDE appears to have nontrivial solutions for j's which satisfy ∇j = 0.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I just thought of something: Perhaps this depends on assumptions concerning the carriers of charge. In particular that the mobile charges are strictly of one sign and thus ρ > 0! Then it could possibly be shown that the PDE cannot be satisfied. Investigating...

A Faster, Easier Way to Chop Fresh Herbs
Tips from The Kitchn
Here's a great little tip I picked up at a cooking class in Paris a couple years ago — a faster, easier way to mince fresh herbs.
Ashley, Paule's kitchen assistant, took a moment to demonstrate this ultra-simple tip. It's so easy I wondered why I had never thought of it! (Classic sign of a good tip, right?)
She put a handful of tarragon leaves in a tall glass, then used kitchen shears to snip the leaves until they were minced fine. The glass held the leaves compressed in a small space, so it was easy to cut them up. The sharp scissors also did a much better job of cutting the herbs finely than a rougher knife would have.
It was quick, easy, and no-mess. All the herbs went straight from the jar into the poultry we were stuffing. Simple!
Have you ever used this method to cut herbs?

I usually use a small bowl, but yeah - this works great! For something with lots of stem, like cilantro, I hold the bunch by it's stems and snip straight into whatever I'm putting it in. Kind of depends on what herb your using, and how you're using it.
Honestly, a knife and cutting board does the same thing.
I think a knife + cutting board is a lot quicker than having to catch the leaves/stems between the scissor blades.
And you can definitely mince the leaves finer.
I disagree about the knife and cutting board comments above. It's totally a hassle having the herbs go everywhere. I think this is a fab idea. It's nice to have an alternative! Thanks!
I use a sharp knife and a cutting board. I don't understand how or why herbs are going everywhere. My herbs don't go everywhere. In fact, they tend to stick to the board and knife.
If your herbs are going everywhere, surely then your knife is going everywhere too? Are you chopping herbs like a maniac?
Well I think it's genius!
this is exactly how my french grandmother chops parsley!
I always use scissors for cutting herbs.
Slice, don't hack! So long as you aren't whacking at the herbs with a dull knife a board and blade ought to be fine. A sharp scissors in a tall glass works well, too.
The best method is the one that works for you :)
I think it mostly depends on the cook and partly on the herb. Rosemary is more likely to spring away and make a mess than cilantro but knifing technique can balance that.
Preference: it's why we have options! :D
I'm one who's herbs go everywhere. I'm def. going to have to try this. Thanks!
Usually the board & knife will do the trick but I very much like the idea of snippin' directly into the pot. -Thanks, xtalcase, don't know why I have never though of that before!
I love this idea :) But I am more comfortable with just snipping a whole bunch of herbs with a sharp kitchen shear. No clean up at all :D
I always do this. My problem with using a board and knife is that it's sometimes a mess and a pain to get the herbs off the board into what I'm cooking. They stick to the board, they stick to my hands, half of them end up getting washed down the drain.
Cutting them up in a glass cuts down on this!
I always snip them right over whatever bowl or pot they're supposed to end up in.
"My herbs don't go everywhere. In fact, they tend to stick to the board and knife." That's why people ship with shears!
A knife and board can be messier due to scattered herbs or to herbs (especially freshly washed ones) sticking to the board or knife, and when finely cutting, the knife/board can be dangerous.
just use a knife. should also be easier for arthritis patients also....but then again that's what a chopper is for.
i thought i discovered this...
i chop small amounts of herbs in a round-bottomed egg cup, works like a charm for some of those difficult small-leaved herbs like thyme.
I know this is a silly thing to comment on, and maybe this is nothing new, but I just wanted to say how happy I was to see you use the word "I" to refer to yourself instead of "we"!
Also a very cool idea I'll be trying out this evening.
Brilliant! No more hunting for flyaway herbs all over the countertop and kitchen floor!
My mom used to cut her herbs like this! Be carefull though, one time I did this and broke the bottom of the glass!
Thats what I used to do as a small kid- you know before you can be trusted with the big knife. Now I find using a good knife faster.
Kitchen scissors are a godsend. For snipping herbs (like others, I snip straight over the place they need to go) or chicken and steak for stir-fry. Knives for fruit and veg though!
not to brag ... but as our household is an ADA compliant stronghold, cutting up herbs, vegetables, hard butter, small frozen items, certain tablets with kitchen shears in a short tumbler, is something we've done for years. Kitchen shears are also good for getting little chunks of ice cream out of a frozen tub.Open the shears about an inch, stab down into ice cream, close shears. Repeat, cutting out a little block.
I'll always use one of my Japanese ceramic knives because the herbs won't brown from the metal and the arthritis in my hands makes it impossible for me to do that much snipping.
Actually, at this point even if I could use a metal knife or scissors I'd opt to use my ceramic knives because not only are they easier to use (sharper and lighter) but there's no possibility of anything browning from being in contact with metal.
i like this for some things - especially parsley and cilantro where i am lazy and just pull the leaves off the stems and move on. but other things, like basil, i love rolling up and chopping myself.
This makes sense for people with limited knife skills, but otherwise I agree with those who are in the corner of the knife and chopping board. I actually can't remember the last time I used kitchen shears, if ever.
How is it better? You'd have to wash the glass too. Skip it!
If I had already washed the chopping board but I need a bit of scallion for garnish, I would use the scissors directly over the dish.
Would freezing wet herbs for 30 mins and then smashing them while frozen reduce their taste and potency?
If you roll the herbs up tight and then slice them on the cutting board -- i.e. if you chiffonade them -- your results will be far more consistent than randomly snipping at something down there in the bottom of a glass, and the process won't take as long. Also, what a pain to have to find a way to scoop out the last bits of herb that will inevitably cling to the bottom and sides of the glass! This tip sounds like an efficient way to make extra work and waste time and food.
I barely used my kitchen shears before I had a baby; this is the exact method I use to turn whatever we're eating into baby food (older baby, not eating purees any more). Great idea to do this for herbs! Cutting up spaghetti for a kid who can't twirl a fork yet is a major pain, but not with shears!
I've always done mine with a knife and board (and had to scrape up everything that sticks) up until about a year ago; then my mother-in-law gave me something she'd been given and had no use for, and it was an epiphany. It was a pair of herb shears, which is basically a pair of scissors with 5 sets of blades (picture: http://www.geardiary.com/2009/06/12/the-useful-things-herb-scissors-review/). I'm not one for gimmicky-looking things like that, but these have really been amazing. They cut so neatly and quickly, and I can do a big bunch of parsley or a big sprig of rosemary in seconds. I have a large herb garden, and freeze my surplus to use all winter and spring, so I hardly ever have to use dried herbs (except for the ones that don't grow well where I live). These things have been a godsend.
if you have a tiny cutting board with lots of herbage to chop and/or don't care what it looks like afterwards, this cup and scissor tip is fine. delicate herbs like basil and tarragon will be bruised and black in minutes with this method. Sharp knife with a stable cutting board and herbs chopped in smaller batches will make less of a mess, albeit with extra hand movements. When chopping chives or other herb that can roll around after being cut, just make a "wall" with a cloth or paper towel to stop them from getting away.

Former "Saved By the Bell" actor, Dustin Diamond has stated that television bosses paid off a girl that his co-star Mario Lopez date-raped in 1993. Read more on Dustin's claims below.
Dustin Diamond played the nerdy Samuel "Screech" Powers in the show "Saved By the Bell". Now Diamond is making shocking allegations in his memoir called Behind the Bell.
Dustin has one chapter in his book called "A.C. Makes the Ladies Scream". In this chapter Dustin states that Mario Lopez was a major womanizer that used his fame to take advantage of his female fans.
He wrote, "(Lopez) hit on every co-star, every extra, every production assistant and every fan he found himself sitting next to."
Mario Lopez was involved in a date-rape scandal in 1993 when a teenage girl said Lopez lured her to his home and raped her.
There was an investigation but Mario Lopez was not arrested and no charges were filed. But Dustin Diamond says the girl only chose not to press charges against Lopez when the NBC execs paid her $50,000 to "keep her mouth shut".
Dustin said he really wasn't at all surprised to hear of Mario's date-rape case because "He didn't take no for an answer."

CHICAGO (WKZO) -- Gas Prices went up a little the weekend before Christmas and have really taken a leap as we head towards the New Year
Remember just a week ago gas stations had finally dropped below $3 a gallon. This morning it will cost motorists closer to $3.50 a gallon in Kalamazoo.
Chicago based GasBuddy Analyst Patrick Dehaan says we can blame a spike in the price of crude oil which is nearly at $100 a barrel, and refinery issues in the Midwest.
He expects the prices to drop rapidly after the New Year and he thinks 2014 will be a better year than 2013, with lower fuel prices.

More Equal than Others4 Reviews
Bella and Remus help Odin, Theo looks into Majik Most Darke and Greg Goyle has talent
Bella knelt in front of Odin so that all he could see was her deep purple gaze.
"Look deep into my eyes, Odin, do not fight the change; flow into your shape. Follow us into your true nature."
Little Odin whimpered, afraid, still he not dared not stop.
Remus's soothing voice urged, "Do not dare not to dare. . ."
Bolstered by the love and support of his beloved Mum and Da he poured his being into the wolf cub form. It was less a lycan transformation than it was an animagus coming into his own.
Odin yipped and flipped joyfully!
It hadn't hurt! For the first time ever he was four legged and free! Best of all the full moon hadn't risen yet – it wouldn't for the next 28 days in any case but what did that matter? He was surrounded by his family and he was free to scamper into the forest to play and to run and to chase the small animals and feast on rabbit and vole.
Remus and Bella followed their son-in-love into the forest only to discover the joy of a wolf cub is very contagious. They romped and played, rolling over each other until they were a mass of grey, white and dark brown fur gamboling in the late afternoon.
Of the three only Bella had full command of her faculties. Vampires are fully aware of their surroundings no matter what form they take. She gave little Odin a thrill when she jumped impossibly high over a fallen tree and, at the zenith of her leap, transformed into a large white bat, which swooped and dipped playfully with the cub.
Finally she landed on the trunk of a tree and transformed back into the white wolf just before the cub pounced on her back. She rolled over with him still on her shoulders, as he playfully nipped at her ear.
The three shape shifters would have been content to stay in their animal forms forever, but a higher purpose drove Bella and Remus. They had too much to do in the wizarding community to escape their obligations completely. But tonight was for family. Tomorrow they would get back to work.
The leader of the Sons of the Serpent paced the floor of the master bedroom in his London apartment while clutching the dark, leather-bound book to his breast. Theodore Nott the Third was in a quandary. He had his "army," a ragtag bunch of pureblood misfits who mooched off him for room and board. He had his Pureblood Manifesto.
What he didn't have was a powerbase – he just wasn't imposing enough and he knew it. Hell, Billy Avery was shorter than him and a good two stone lighter but when little Billy got angry no one, and I mean no one got in his way. What was that old saying? "It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, it the size of the fight in the dog."
He needed to ramp up the size of the fight in the top dog of the Sons of the Serpent, or he'd be relegated to the role of lackey. He looked again at the book in his hands – "Soul Majiks Most Darke." The book promised to make him strong and most importantly, ruthless. He just hoped he had enough backbone to complete the first ritual.
The first task was murder.
He had to kill someone in cold blood.
Alison Farington watched the wolf family in utter fascination – she didn't realize the danger she was in. Werewolves have been conditioned over the centuries to attack humans first – before the humans can kill them.
Alison had seen the odd cleric family walk into the forest and wanted to see what their "devotions" entailed. She watched, mesmerized, as the trio knelt. She was a little puzzled by the fact that they seemed to be naked – hard to tell over the distance and through the trees.
Then in a wink where there had been three people there were, instead, three dogs? No, not dogs; wolves.
She laughed to herself as she watched the lycans, two adults and one cute little baby cub, gambol and play. She remembered her chores and grudgingly tore her gaze away from the frolicking group to go back to feeding the chickens.
"Hermione?" Ron asked; concern evident in his voice.
The distracted brunette shook her head, then, realizing where she was and what she was supposed to be doing read the question aloud.
"Citizens of the U.K., magical and non-magical alike are protected by?"
"Common Wizarding Statutes and Due Process of Law, c'mone Hermione, you've already asked us that one – twice!"
She closed the book and shook her head as if trying to dislodge something stuck there.
"I'm sorry Ronald, Neville, I guess I have been a little distracted this week."
"A little distracted? And a hurricane is a little wind, and a hypogriff is a little sensitive over being insulted."
"Maybe we should call it quits for today, I am, um,"
"Yes, we know. A little distracted." Ron finished for her.
She had the good graces to look sheepish.
"Neville, could you give us a few minutes here please, mate?"
"I'll just go into the kitchen and give Luna a floo call, she's supposed to come over tonight."
"Thanks, Nev."
Ron turned to his best friend and asked straight out.
"What is it?"
"It's Harry."
"Is he any better?"
"Kind of, he's still really depressed. He asked me if I wanted to marry him and have lots of babies."
This made Ron pause before asking, "And you said?"
"I asked him if I could please get back to him on that."
Ron gently took the study guide from her before taking her hands into his own.
"You know I love you, don't you Hermione?"
A tear streaked down her cheek and she nodded.
"He loves you too."
She sobbed and fell into his embrace.
"You've got to tell him sooner or later."
"I know, Ron, I know. It's just too soon - too soon."
Michael Waddington had always been large for his age. The Waddingtons were a moderately successful family, not ancient, not noble but a vassal house aligned with the ancient and noble houses of Black and Malfoy.
He had been raised most of his ten years to expect privilege and deference from his peers. That all came crashing down in the war. He had been fighting with other children over scraps pulled from the garbage behind Diagon Alley when Mama Pansy had found him. She brought him home, showed him a different path.
Problem was, he still longed for the days when he was a pampered pure-blood prince. He was just the sort of potential convert the Sons of the Serpent were looking for.
When Mama Millie asked for volunteers to help her carry some stuff back from the village Michael was there. Millie had a soft spot for Michael; she knew what it was like to be the abnormally big kid in her class. That was the main reason she took Michael with her, more often than not, when she went into the village. Michael followed as he always did; carrying the ever increasing sacks of dry goods and fresh produce.
The man was there, as usual, in the dry goods store. The man always had a kind word for Michael, and a treat; and a question.
Hello Michael, have a biscuit."
"So, how many kids from pureblood families are at Parkinson House?"
"Do you think any of them would like to see the old ways come back?"
"Cockroach cluster?"
"Wouldn't you like to see the old ways come back?"
"Would you like to live in your own big manor house and not have to share a room or a table with a bunch of other kids?"
"Have another chocolate frog."
"Read this, doesn't it make sense that purebloods are better than lesser bloods?"
"How many grownups are at Parkinson House?"
"Here, have a drooble."
"I'll bet you have lots of wards protecting you over there."
"Have a ginger newt."
It all came to a head at dinner when Pansy chided Michael for taking the last drumstick, when he still had one on his plate and it was obvious that Cheryl wanted one.
"But I get it cause I'm entitled is what."
Michael had said this with such conviction that Cheryl herself couldn't not believe him.
Pansy on the other hand looked as though all the blood had drained from her face. Millie knew why. "Pure blood privilege" was a concept that was practiced in Slytherin house. Millie, a half-blood, accepted as fact that the pure bloods would always have the first and the best when it came to choosing anything.
Neither one of them had even mentioned the concept in the Parkinson house.
"Where did you hear that, Michael?"
Pansy surprised herself – she sounded absolutely calm as she took the chicken leg from her own plate and placed it on Cheryl's. The little ginger haired girl smiled and gushed her thanks.
"Oh ever' body knows that Mama Pansy."
"I've never said anything like that in this house" Pansy said, which was true. She'd been the recipient of "Pure Blood Privilege" often enough in Slytherin House and now the very concept made her ashamed of herself.
"Michael," Millie asked kindly, "what do all the children call Pansy?"
"Mama Pansy."
"And is Mama Pansy a pureblood?"
"Then all the children at Parkinson House are purebloods, right?"
Michael looked confused, "But the man at the dry goods store told me that purebloods are better."
"Better than who?"
"Um, anyone else?"
"But you just said we're all purebloods."
"Can you be pureblood if'n you ain't born to it?"
"Look around you Michael."
He did. And he was uncomfortable knowing that dozens of conversations had stopped to listen to the lesson he was getting.
"Everyone you see here is the same.
Everyone who lives in Parkinson house is the same. Oh some of you are a little older, and some of you are a little smarter but you are all my children. . ."
Her gaze was piercing and full of promise when she looked back at Michael.
". . . equally!"
"Um," Michael asked, "Cheryl, would you like a leg?"
"No thank you, Michael, but Mama Pansy might be glad of one."
He sheepishly placed the chicken leg on Pansy's plate using his fork and knife.
Later that night Pansy and Millie and Harry in his guise as Uncle James told the story of the half-blood who used lies and scare tactics to become the most feared dark lord of the 20th century, and most importantly, how it was a united group of magical citizens, pureblood, muggleborn and even some non-human magical creatures who defeated him.
The teachers, volunteers all, made sure to emphasize the importance of hard work and perseverance over blood status in the upcoming lessons.
Pansy went with Millie and Michael to Hogsmeade Dry Goods Emporium the following day. She studied the bolts of fabric as Millie stocked up on flour and sugar, bartering with eggs from the chicken farm.
"Hello Michael," she heard from over the next shelf – she strained to hear, the voice sounded familiar.
Pansy used the disillusionment charm that Harry had taught her then moved closer, the better to hear the conversation.
"Hullo sir." Michael answered sheepishly.
"Anything wrong?"
"Um, no sir, I mean, I was wondering if. . ." he looked up at the man as if expecting something.
"Ah, I'll bet you'll like these, they're called "Mistletoads," they are gummy little frogs that taste like fresh picked apples.
"Thank you, sir!"
"All the wards around the house, they're keyed your, ah, family?"
Michael nodded, speaking around the gummy toads, he said, "allus kids get a band, see?"
The boy held his arm up showing off the blue band that read "PB"
"PB?" the man asked.
"Yeah, we call em' peanut butter, but the 'nitials stand for Mamma Pansy and Mamma Millie, "P" for Parkinson and "B" for Bulstrode."
"What if you lose your band?"
"Then we gotta wait til another kid brings Mama Pansy with a new one."
"Could you loan yours to someone else?"
Michael shook his head, "Nope, tried that. Julie left hers out by the rooster house and I tried to give her mine, y'know, to get back in the house?"
The man nodded. "And?"
"An it didn't work. She couldn't get in the house."
"Interesting, here, have another mistletoad."
"What's interestin'?"
"Oh, just that the house is warded but not the grounds."
Michael just shrugged, then politely said, "Thank you for the mistletoads, sir."
"Not at all Michael, I'm just glad you like them, be sure to tell all your friends."
With that the man closed his sample case, which read "Honeydukes Finest," and started to leave, only to find himself flat on his back facing two wands and an irate shopkeeper.
"Zabini," the shopman said, "I let you peddle your wares in my store on account of I done a lot of business with your mum, but these witches tell me you been spendin' an inordinate amount of time with one of their lil' boys, izzat true?"
"Hey, I 'ent so little!" Michael objected.
"I'm just letting the rest of the kiddies know were to get the good stuff, Chas, y'know, let one sample the goods and the rest will flock to my stall."
Millie lowered her wand, "The way I see it, Blaise here is just tryin' ta get by, just like the rest of us."
Zabini nodded slowly, trying not to look as worried as he obviously was.
"Yeah, my family lost all our money in the war, just like yours."
"Of course, that don't explain how it is you're tryin' to recruit Michael here into your little club, nor why you're so interested in the wards around Crabb's old place."
Blaise managed to maintain his cool for almost ten seconds before he lunged, still flat on his back, for his sample case, specifically the tag attached to one side.
Both girls looked surprised at Chas, the shopkeeper.
"I spent most of my adult life kowtowing to people like him cause they had the money and the influence and the "breeding"," he spat on the ground.
"Never again, by gods, never again!"
"Well," Millie asked, "whotcha wanna do with this one; the usual?"
"Hey, the Hag's Hump pays us ten galleons for every pretty boy we deliver."
"Yeah, but this is Zabini, he'll probably like it."
"Maybe at first. . ."
Blaise Zabini came to his senses with his head down on a wooden surface that reeked of old beer and spirits. He was sitting on a barstool and someone had a hand firmly planted on his bum.
He sat up straight and was shocked for just a moment at his reflection in the bar mirror.
He was wigged and painted up like a cheap whore. He was in a skirt that was so short that it barely covered his arse, which was being fondled by the large, smelly demi-troll sitting on the stool next to his.
He tugged the top of his narrow tube top; to get a look his grapefruit sized breasts. He was disappointed at the size.
"Hmmm, the bints might have at least given me a decent pair of knockers" he looked at the stevedore attached to the hand that was attached to his bum batted his long eyelids and asked, "got a wand, sweetie?"
The man held up what looked like a foreshortened tree branch, as Blaise reached for it the trollish voice ordered, "no funny stuff now!"
Zabini snuggled closer to him and said, "Mate, you've got me well and truly by the short and curlies, what can I do?
The quasi-troll grunted and handed over his wand.
Blaise pointed at his breasts and said, "engorgio!" All the men in the bar drooled at the comically enlarged boobs straining the fabric of the thin tube top.
"Better," he said, and then, placing the thick tip of the wand under the burly man's chin, he shouted "reducto!"
The back of the man's head exploded in a fine red mist.
Zabini sashayed out of the Hag's Hump. He didn't mind being manhandled; he just wanted to choose the man doing the handling. He was a Zabini, after all, and a boy had to have his standards.
Pansy and Millie hurried back to the house with Michael in tow. They burst into the great room and Millie rang the dinner bell two short rings and one long, then repeated the pattern two more times. This was the alarm signal; all the older kids took charge of one or two of the younger ones and assembled at the long tables.
Greg Goyle had one child under each arm, scowling as if to dare anyone to try and touch them. Millie's heart melted at the sight.
Pansy smirked at her oldest female friend, "Their babies will be huge!" She thought to herself.
"Everyone," she started, "there's nothing to be overly worried about but we're not taking any chances."
She waited while Millie fetched the boxes that Harry had brought the week before.
"Niners and up!"
She was referring to the nine and ten year olds, the big kids in the group. They dutifully came forward and each received a long, thin box.
"These are spell sticks, not wands, really, because they can only do two things, a freeze hex and sparks.
You must remember, only use these in real emergencies, as soon as you do the Ministry will send aurors to wherever you are."
Millie gave the last stick to Michael Waddington, who looked with awe at the "almost wand."
"From now on no one and I mean no one, Alison," Pansy focused on her original sprog. "No one goes off alone.
"Use the rule of three, no less than three kids anywhere away from our house, and one of those three have to be nine or ten years old."
Pansy was so distraught as she said this that she turned away so that her children wouldn't see her tears. Millie stood and enfolded her in her arms.
"Kids, make no mistake, there's them out there that want to hurt you, hurt us. What we gotta do is not give em' the chance, alright?"
Some of the younger children, sensing the fear radiating from the Mamas began to cry.
A clear, bright tenor voice cut across the room, singing:
"Hi! says the blackbird, sitting on a chair,
Once I courted a lady fair;
She proved fickle and turned her back,
And ever since then I'm dressed in black."
Pansy turned to see Gregory finish the first verse of the popular children's song, then joined in the second verse.
"Hi! says the blue-jay as she flew,
If I was a young man I'd have two;
If one proved fickle and chanced for to go,
I'd have a new string to my bow."
The older children joined in.
"Hi! says the little leather winged bat,
I will tell you the reason that,
The reason that I fly in the night
Is because I lost my heart's delight.
By now the whole house sang.
"Hi! says the little mourning dove,
I'll tell you how to gain her love;
Court her night and court her day,
Never give her time to say "0 nay!""
By the time the last verse came around the feeling of doom and gloom had vanished.
"Hi! says the robin, with a little squirm,
I wish I had a great, big worm;
I would fly away into my nest;
I have a wife I think is the best!"
This was the scene that Sister Bellanca, Brother David and Little Brother Odin walked in on. They sang along with the other children and followed Pansy to her quarters.
Greg started to follow but Millie grabbed him by the front of his robe and soundly kissed him in front of all the squealing sprogs.
Pandemonium followed, but it was a good pandemonium.
The title of this chapter comes from George Orwell's Animal Farm, a wonderful allegorical description of Soviet style totalitarianism. The whole line is "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
I have to give credit to the folks at Hallmark, they actully had a candy called "Mistletoads" this past Christmas. Yummy gummies goodness.

What's The Difference Between Regular and Greek Yogurt?
Word of Mouth
The options in the yogurt aisle at the grocery store have increased greatly over the years, with Greek yogurt taking up just as much space on the shelves as the regular stuff. What's the difference between Greek and regular yogurt, and which one should you buy?
How They're Made
The process for making regular and Greek yogurt starts off the same: milk is first heated, then cooled to the desired fermentation temperature (106-114°F) before bacterial cultures are added. The mixture is then left to ferment until the bacteria grows, produces lactic acid, and gels the milk proteins to produce regular yogurt.
To make Greek yogurt, regular yogurt is strained extensively to remove liquid whey and lactose, leaving behind a thicker-textured yogurt.
What Are The Differences?
Besides texture, here are some other differences between regular and Greek yogurt:
- Protein - Greek yogurt has almost double the protein of regular yogurt.
- Fat - Unless you're using the nonfat varieties, Greek yogurt has about three times the saturated fat than regular yogurt.
- Sodium - Greek yogurt contains about half the sodium of regular yogurt.
- Carbohydrates - Greek yogurt contains roughly half the carbohydrates of regular yogurt, but remember that adding sweeteners to either one will increase the carbohydrate count.
The one to choose really depends on texture and dietary preferences. Because of its thicker texture and tangier flavor, Greek yogurt is often used as a healthier substitute for sour cream, crème fraiche, or mayonnaise.
Do you prefer Greek or regular yogurt, or does it depend on how you're using it?

I just can't get into Greek yogurt--too much tang for me. I'd much rather get plain whole milk or maple yogurt.
I really enjoy the thicker texture of greek yogurt, the tang is fine by me, and it's a great, healthier substitute for sour cream in my pancake recipe. Not to mention I think it keeps better than sour cream.
I am with Susanna...I know Greek yogurt is healthier but I hate that thick chalky texture and the tang. I love runny peach or strawberry yogurt especially ones from Europe.
The problem is that many Greek yogurts (especially those in supermarkets such as Chobani, Oikos, etc) are 0%, which does make them chalky and less pleasant. Real Greek yoghurt is 9% fat, which is off putting to consumers.
I prefer full fat Greek yoghurt for cooking and dips; it's a must for tzatziki. It's a bit too thick to eat straight.
Have tried Greek a while ago, and boy am I sold! Tang isn't a problem, love the thickness & creaminess! And don't notice the chalkiness. But I never buy fatfree yoghurt so ...>_>
I make my own by straining regular whole-milk yogurt. I can control the thickness of the end result, I don't find it tangier than regular yogurt, I add my own fruit and mix-ins to taste, and it's easier for a small person to get the spoon from bowl to mouth without spilling.
The biggest problem with many so-called Greek Yogurts is that they aren't strained, they're thickened. If the ingredient list includes starch, gelatin, carageenan, it's going to be an inferior product compared to the natural varieties: less flavorful, different texture. I'm more flexible on flavored varieties, you may need gums in the jammy stuff.
Dannon Oikos: Good. Just cultured milk
Yoplait Greek: Bad. Includes gelatin, pectin, locust bean gum
Chobani: Good. Just milk and cultures
Fage: Good. Milk (and cream in some varieties), cultures.
Having moved to the USA from Canada (and I've also lived in Europe and the Middle East), I have to say that with very few exceptions - Straus Family Creamery is one - the yogurt here is not very good. Hence the Greek yogurt trend? In the other places I mentioned, plain yogurt is as thick and more wonderful and flavorful (the plain varieties) than you can imagine. Here, I like to eat nonfat Greek yogurt simply for the protein boost. For everything else, I prefer regular, whole or lowfat yogurt. I like Straus, Nancy's, Trader Joe's European Style (whole milk), and the Whole Foods 365 when it is in stock, which seems to be rare...
I like either, as long as it's full fat. For most of my life I thought I didn't really like yogurt, then I finally realized that the yogurts I'd been trying (i.e., most commercial brands sold in the U.S.) were either nonfat or lowfat--bleah. A few years ago I became obsessed wih Liberte yogurt, and realized it was so good because it was full fat (or I guess maybe "whole milk" is the right term?)...and then later that year it was bought by General Mills and it changed for the worse (not sure if the fat content changed, but the product became ick). So then I switched to Fage Greek yogurt, their full fat/whole milk variety, which I now eat all the time, in both sweet and savory ways. I don't find it at all chalky, but I have thought that about some other Greek yogurt brands. I also recently discovered Trader Joe's "<fruit> & Cream" yogurts, that come in little 6-packs, and they are also really good.
If I eat Greek yogurt, I definitely try to look for at least 2% fat because the texture and flavor is vastly improved for a moderate increase in calorie count.
I always get the full fat of either variety. Definitely prefer Greek--but at the stores near me, the only Greek full fat I've found it "Greek God's". Wish it were organic!!
Love Fage!
I like Greek best. Fage is my favorite, but Chobani is on sale more often so I alternate between buying those two.
Greek yogurt all the way. The consistency is so much more appealing, though I agree with other posters that anything less than 2% fat is revolting, but then I feel that way about any low-fat products. Oikos does make several non-fat flavors, but their toasted coconut vanilla, lemon meringue, and key lime are all 2% fat and they're all pretty tasty.
A local grocery store carried the Greek Gods Honey Peach yogurt very briefly and I will always regret not buying 10 tubs of it. It was so incredibly good. I've found other flavors at other stores, but haven't seen the peach since.
0% yogurt of every type grosses me out. Unfortunately my favourite Greek yogurt is most available in 0%. The texture and the taste is awful. I haven't tried the full fat Greek yogurt but I think I'll try it the next time I'm buying groceries. The cat especially loves Greek yogurt and gets a teaspoon of it a day and she much prefers the rarely found 2% over the the ubiquitous 0%. I think it'll make her life when I offer her the 9%!
I prefer the texture of Greek yogurt but not always the flavor. You can thicken any yogurt and pretend it's Greek. I am "greeking" a tub of Stonyfield low fat french vanilla right now. Just dump it into a cheesecloth-lined colander set in a bowl and put it in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Every few hours pour out the liquid that gathers in the bowl and, voila!, Greekish yogurt.
I love Greek yogurt! We always get the plain kind because it's so much more versatile, plus I don't like buying products with added sugar. We are Fage adherents, though we switch it up between 0% and 2% depending on what's on the shelf at the grocery store. The nonfat versions of other brands are too tart for me, but Fage's seems milder.
I do buy plain regular yogurt on occasion, mostly for baking. The moisture content is so different from Greek that I'm not confident in substituting it.
100% Greek all the way. These days it's important to verify that it's natural, meaning strained, with no added ingredients. So many brands add thickeners, which defeats the whole point!
Greek yogurt? I love it. I usually make my own, using whole, organic milk. I start with a gallon, and end up with 2 quarts of Greek yogurt after draining. Hard to find organic, full-fat Greek yogurt. And it isn't any tangier than regular yogurt. All yogurt gets tangier the longer it hangs around. If you like plain regular yogurt, there should be no reason you shouldn't like plain Greek. And full fat isn't chalky. I think the chalky comes from added milk solids and thickeners. That said, I wish they would put the date it was fermented on the container, besides the expiration date. Then you would have a good gauge on just how tort its going to be.
It needs to be full fat and strained to be real Greek yogurt ( to me). You have to be careful. It is hard to find the good stuff, so I have been making my own, using full fat milk, Bulgarian culture to make yogurt and then straining that if I want Greek. However, the Bulgarian yogurt is mighty thick on its own.
I opt for whole milk yogurt, every time. I'm a big fan of Noosa, which is "Australian style". The texture is thicker than regular yogurt and impossibly smooth. I usually get plain, but the honey flavor is to die for (and not too sweet!).
Greek yogurt apparently creates waste during manufacture that should be considered when purchasing:
Trader Joe's also sells "European Style". Please add its comparison to the article. The containers are of absolutely no help! Which I find rather irritating.
I always look for yogurts (sour cream, ricotta, ... anything really) without added anything (thickener, sugar, flavor...). I figure that if they can't figure out how to make it well with basic (classic?) ingredients, then I don't need to give them my money.
I make my own Bulgarian yogurt with 2% or whole milk. If I want Greek yogurt, I strain it and save the whey. The whey is very nutritious and great in baking. I've read that regular yogurt is much healthier than Greek because it includes the whey.
Fage 2%- that is all you need if you are in the US. Forget all the other crap on the shelves.
I don't bother with Greek yogurt because I like my yogurt to come with whey :) I buy plain yogurt - 6%, with just milk, cream, and cultures. I add jam if I want some flavour. If you're in canada, check out Astro brand. It's the red container. It's delicious!
I love whole milk fage, but I wish it were available in more places than Whole Foods. I can only find the 2% in Acme or Target.
My favourite yogurt is a regular non-Greek plain yogurt made here in Alberta on a local dairy farm. It's called Bles Wold. It's only milk and cultures, 2% fat, and absolutely delicious. I have to go out of my way to buy it, but I do it whenever I can. Greek yogurt is ok, but for breakfast I've come to prefer a regular yogurt.
I like them both. As long as its not too tart . I'm glad to see I'm not the only one put off by the fat free stuff. I'm also kind of shocked of the serving size for yogurt as well. Those Fage cups ( not the ones with the flavor on the side) is huge! Seems like one should be able to get more than two servings out of that.
Just an FYI that whether or not Chobani greek yogurt contains thickeners depends on which flavor you're getting. Plain and honey is good, most of the flavored varieties have some combo of pectin and/or locust bean gum.
Greek is the best!
I think the only real rule to so-called greek yogurt (called "strained" yogurt elsewhere in the world, if I'm not mistaken) is that it's thicker. Trader Joe's Honey Greek Yogurt is very tasty but I dunno that it falls in line with most of these things--not particularly tangy, either. And I think thekitchn has recommended a "greek" yogurt that had thickeners in it (it was salted caramel-flavored or something--I happened to see it in a store and tried it out). Not to mention the vast variations in so-called normal yogurt....
For whatever reason, I actually really enjoyed trying out different yogurts when I lived in Japan, as well as when I visited Europe (Switzerland, Italy, France) for a couple of weeks. I don't eat as much yogurt when I'm at home, but then again I cook more than when I'm on vacation.
I love Greek Yogurt. I buy the plain non-fat yogurt and I mix China Cinnamon in, and top it with fresh berries and chopped very dark chocolate and toasted chopped mixed nuts. Yummmmmm! It's like a sundae, only healthier! ;-)
Since TJ is a subsidiary of a German company "European Style" might (just *might* I'm not sure!) describe what we call "Quark" in Germany. It's basically Greek Yogurt made from skimmed milk with cream added later on in the production process. Don't ask me why they use skimmed milk to add cream later, I have no idea why that is.
Quark is not tart at all and I wouldn't call it tangy either. It has a very mild, almost neutral flavour. The plain version is sold in different textures and under different names almost everywhere in Europe. In France you can buy a very creamy variety under the name of "fromage blanc", in Austria you can buy it as "Topfen" in Germany it's very thick and, as I said, called "Quark". In fact, the thickness of german Quark makes it perfekt for baking but if you want to use it as dip or eat it with fruit/muesli you have to add liquid, usually either milk or soda water.
Of course you can also buy versions with fruit, chocolat etc. as desert or snack where the texture is aready creamy and ready to eat.
I really don't get this "low-to-non-fat" thing. Greek yogurt with less than 9% fat is not real greek yogurt.
Greek every time.
We make our own, from really good milk (usually 2%). Hubby strains 1/2 for Greek and keeps the other 1/2 more loose. We add whatever we want when we want it ... getting ready for some blueberries and chopped almonds with some Greek yogurt right now. PS We save the whey and use it in bread baking, or a teeny bit on dog food, or in soups, etc. Good stuff!
I don't get why people buy it. It's so easy to make and you get to control it's consistency and flavors.
Yogurt cups are one of the few pre-made convenience snacks that I regularly buy. They are the perfect thing when I am too tired or in too big a rush to prepare something more complicated. Regular yogurt cups tend to have so much sugar (and I don't do fake sugars) and so little protein that they're not really a healthy solution for me. Greek yogurt cups give me a lot of protein in a little package. Love them.
I like regular Dannon yogurt, particularly the coffee flavor, but regular yogurt has been crowded off the dairy shelf by the zillion flavors and sizes of Greek yogurt.
I don't mind Greek yogurt but I hate that it's dominating the market right now. Some of my regular yogurts have been harder to find of late and when I asked the manufacturers or stores, I was told it's because they're focusing on Greek yogurt instead. GRRR.

Thorne Research Theanine 200 mg. - 90 Vegetarian Capsules
Thorne Research Theanine 200 mg. is an amino acid from tea for enhanced relaxation. L-theanine a unique amino acid present almost exclusively in the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) and used safely in Japan for decades. L-theanine has demonstrated the potential to positively modify brain waves and key neurotransmitters involved in mood, focus, and memory. Consumption of L-theanine enhances brain alpha-wave activity, a sign of relaxation. The intensity of brain alpha-wave activity increases within 30-45 minutes of L-theanine supplementation, promoting relaxation, mental focus, and acuity.
This effect is most pronounced in persons subjectively feeling the highest levels of distress. A small Japanese study of university students showed 200 mg oral L-theanine led to increased brain alpha-waves and a subjective sense of relaxation. Theanine administration caused a dose-dependent relaxed, yet alert, state of mind without sedation, beginning approximately 40 minutes after oral dosing. L-theanine can enhance the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin and appears to play a role in the formation of GABA – a neurotransmitter that acts like a "brake" during times of runaway stress. Theanine helps establish balance in the neurotransmitter system, resulting in improvements in the mental/emotional and physical disturbances resulting from being overly stressed.
Thorne Research's MissionAt Thorne Research, their mission is to enhance the health and well-being of people by providing superior dietary supplements that have the highest level of quality and purity – thereby creating the most respected and valued company in the dietary supplement industry.
The Thorne Difference. For more than 25 years, Thorne has relentlessly pursued the highest possible quality and bioavailability in dietary supplements. At Thorne, they actually manufacture products that they sell – a key difference that allows Thorne to control every aspect of the manufacturing process and ensure that every Thorne product is in pure, completely hypoallergenic form, and without the common additives, flowing agents, and binders used throughout the industry.
A few other companies have tried to do what Thorne does, and many others claim to have the same philosophy and quality, but nobody has been able to duplicate what Thorne's clients call "Thorne Quality." Thorne has changed the industry in many ways over the past two decades, and they continue to raise the bar and set new standards in product formulation, raw material purity, manufacturing, and quality control.
Thorne's Commitment to PurityPractitioners have become accustomed to seeing the vague "We use only the purest ingredients" in the promotional materials of almost every dietary supplement company. Perhaps these companies truly believe that. Perhaps they don't know any better. Nevertheless, Thorne Research, for more than 25 years, has been the standard by which companies in the industry are judged for product purity. Practitioners rely on Thorne as the company they trust for their extremely allergic, chemically sensitive, and immune-compromised patients.
Purity Takes Extra EffortFor example, instead of purchasing prediluted vitamin D, as other companies do, Thorne performs its own dilution to avoid detrimental ingredients, such as the preservatives or lactose that are found in many commercially available dilutions. Why must vitamin D be diluted? Because in its pure form, it is too concentrated to safely blend into a vitamin product. Pure vitamin D is 40 MILLION International Units (IU) per gram. The RDA for adults is 600-800 IU per day. To ensure proper mixing, it must be made into a dilute powder that flows and does not lose potency. So, unlike companies that use prediluted vitamin D that contains unacceptable excipients and preservatives, at Thorne, pure pharmaceutical vitamin D is first blended with pure mixed tocopherol vitamin E, and the resultant stable vitamin D is then blended with hypoallergenic cellulose powder. The final powder is blended in a large tumble blender and subsequently analyzed. Not only is the final product stable; it is also hypoallergenic and can be mixed homogeneously and at a safe level with other powders. Just as with vitamin D, Thorne utilizes similar processes for other raw materials, such as vitamin K, leaving it to other companies to purchase commercially available raw materials filled with unacceptable ingredients and preservatives.
Ingredients You Don't WantMagnesium Stearate: Good for speed-hungry encapsulating machines. Not necessarily good for you. Manufacturing encapsulated dietary supplements isn't easy. Pure powdered ingredients are difficult to mix because they are either extremely dry, sticky with botanical oils, or attract unwanted moisture. So most manufacturers add magnesium stearate and other agents such as lactose and dextrose to make the powder flow quickly and easily through their high-volume machines. Problem is, these additives may compromise the bioavailability of the nutrients in the supplement, and might cause allergenic problems. At Thorne, they take a different approach.
Thorne will never utilize large fatty acid excipients in its manufacturing processes – ingredients such as magnesium stearate or stearic acid. These excipients are utilized as flowing agents to ensure that maximum productivity is obtained from capsuling and tableting machines. There are documented detrimental effects directly attributed to long chain fatty acids utilized as manufacturing flowing agents. Every qualified pharmaceutical compounder recognizes that large fatty acids, such as magnesium stearate, can interfere with product dissolution and influence absorption. Virtually all companies, because of the economic impact, ignore this data. As with most industries, the bottom line dictates the level of quality. The dietary supplement industry has one exception: Thorne Research, the company that does not compromise. Nevertheless, if a company cannot manufacture products without using detrimental excipients, they should not allude to being either "hypoallergenic" or "pure."
The Bottom Line?Thorne is the only hypoallergenic dietary supplement manufacturer with the highest degree of purity that you – and your most severely allergic, chemically sensitive, and immune-compromised patients – can truly trust.
Quality Ingredients: A Higher StandardAt Thorne, they are committed to setting a higher standard of quality when it comes to ingredients. To produce their truly hypoallergenic encapsulated supplements, Thorne uses only the purest and finest ingredients available.
Every manufacturer has two basic options when purchasing raw materials: purchase either truly pure raw materials, or purchase raw materials to which substances have been added to facilitate manufacturing. This fundamental dilemma translates to these very typical questions: "Do I purchase pure vitamin C or vitamin C with additives?" "Do I purchase pure B vitamins or coated B vitamins for taste masking?" "Do I purchase pure enzymes such as pancreatin, pepsin, and bromelain or enzymes diluted with lactose?"
There are few commercial sources for vitamins B12, D, K, or biotin that are not diluted with substances such as lactose, cornstarch, and preservatives such as BHT. That's why Thorne developed methods that allow them to use pure, undiluted sources of these nutrients – and many others. It's just one more example that when it comes to quality, what everyone else accepts as an industry standard isn't good enough. While some companies say they are raising their standards....at Thorne they set them.

Chapter 7- The Date3 Reviews
No Summary
Disclaimer: (MY 1st one!) I do not own anyone in this story except for Isaab and Alyssa and a couple more characters that will be coming up SOON (also Alyssa)!
I inserted myself in the chapter.
Oh, one last thing: Since NO ONE complained about the character POV, I will continue this one out with Ryan's, 'mkay?
Ryan's POV (If you didn't read the note above, this will be necessary)
I got back from the studio with flowers, and I was all dressed up in a red tee under a black blazer, jeans, and black leather shoes. I had NO make-up on, since I knew Isaab likes looking at me better without them (AN: No, she just likes looking at the REAL beauty of a person. She hates plastic surgery, but she still likes to see guys in make-up, sometimes).
I knocked on the door of Pete and Isaab, and after a few seconds, the door opened and there was standing what seemed like an angel (AN: Oh, I wish a guy would say something like that about me, who wouldn't?). There was Isaab wearing a black dress, white ballet flats, and her hair Peyton-curled and a silver-black zebra striped scarf -headband. She had just black eyeliner on and lip-gloss on. She looked beautiful.
As soon as she saw me she put her arms around me and kissed me full on the lips.
"Hey cutie" she said. I blushed, and we separated and started to the door.
(Fast-forward to the ACTUAL date)
We arrived to a little Italian restaurant, Italian is Isaab's favorite (AN: Me too!). We went inside, and luckily, no teenage nor pre-teen girls. We found ourselves seated right away and with menus. I guess business was a bit late for the owners.
"So, what do you want?" I asked her, looking at one of the menus.
"Umm, I am pretty hungry. How bout we split a pepperoni pizza and pasta puttanesca?" she asked looking up.
"Someone's hungry" I said with a grin.
"Shut up"
The waiter came and took our orders and stated it would take 30 minutes for our food to get ready. We nodded and he walked back to the kitchen.
"So let's talk" she said looking at me.
"Why is your hair blonde while Joe's is black?" I asked randomly. She looked taken aback by the sudden randomness, but still answered.
"Really random, but remember when Joe dyed his hair blonde a couple years ago?" she asked and I nodded.
"Well, when he did, he asked me to come with him, I don't know why, and I went and I got bored. One of the hairdressers at the place we went to was a good friend of mine and she saw that I was bored as hell, she asked me if she could do anything, and I decided it would be nice to be blonde."
"What a stupid reason. Well, at least you look great as a blonde. Wait, don't you HATE blondes?"
"Okay, it was a stupid decision. At least I do look good as a blonde, thank you. I am not even answering that question" she giggled.
"Anyways, when Joe dyed his hair black again, is that when you put black high-lights in your hair?"
"No, it just appeared. Weird, huh? It still looked good, so I just let it be."
When the food came, we eat carefully, in silence. We both were REALLY hungry, and it was hard to eat when you want to keep posture in front of other people. The food was great. I had three slices and Isaab had four. It was envious, she ate and ate, and didn't grow a single pound. We ate the pasta together, and it was delicious.
"How do you do that?" I asked her
"Do what?"
"Eat and eat, and not gain a pound"
"I should be asking YOU that. I don't not gain pounds, I just drink and drink lots of fluid and am hyper every day. Did you know today, I ran outside at the hall at the hotel with Brendon for an hour? I swear that kid got sugar in his body to make thousands of candy canes!" we laughed.
"Well, we're pretty much done here, you want to go back to the hotel?" I asked her.
"How bout dessert?"
"Ice cream?"
"Hell yeah!" she grinned.
I asked for the check and paid for it. Isaab protested, but I convinced her that she would be the one to pay for dessert. She was fine with that. We got up and walked out the door.
Isaab's POV
We walked to a Dairy Queen (Is there anymore of those in America? I wouldn't know I am not from there!) and bought two small Blizzards. Unfortunately, there were Teenage and Pre-teen girls there and I could see and hear them glare and say, "OMG! What is he doing with her?". Luckily, there were some of those who were happy to get Ryan's autograph, and didn't seem angry not sad that I was with him. There was this girl that was particularly nice. She walked up to us after getting our ice cream. She was a shy-looking brunette, with light mocha skin with big brown eyes. She looked 12.
"Hi, my name is Amanda. Can I have an autograph?" she asked Ryan blushing. She was holding to a small open notebook and a blue pen. I was shocked when she said her name, that's my middle name! Ryan looked at me and I nodded.
"Sure, why not? Actually, my girlfriend here also is named Amanda." She looked disappointed a little bit when he said that but went back to smiles, right away. She looked at me. Ryan took the notebook and pen from her hands, which looked shaky.
"Yup. Actually my name is Isaab. My middle name is Amanda."
"Cool name."
She looked back at Ryan. "I play guitar a little bit too. Joe Trohman and you are my heroes and my inspiration to keep on practicing."
"Really?" I asked. "Joe is my brother"
"Shut up" she looked at me again, her big brown eyes wide. Ryan and I laughed.
"No, he is. I'll tell him about you."
"No way! Thank you, it would be so cool for my hero to know I am alive" she said laughing. "Actually I also write. You and Pete inspire me the most." She said to Ryan.
"You do? Do you have any poems or songs done yet?" he asked her, still with the notebook, but done already with the autograph.
"Yeah, some of them are in the notebook." She said pointing at the notebook. Ryan looked down and flipped the past pages.
"All those paragraphs are just stray ideas. I bring that notebook with me wherever I go, in case I have a new idea for a poem."
"They're pretty good, a little bit different from my style, but still good." Ryan said handing the notebook and pen back to Amanda, she blushed.
"Thank you. Sorry, if girls like me are the reason why your music and bands like Fall Out Boy are so overrated."
"Oh no, girls like you aren't the reason why." I said to her. "Some of these girls are, though" I whispered, looking around the room at the glaring girls.
"Thanks, it makes me feel a lot better." She said smiling. "Well, I better go. Clara will never believe this!" she said laughing and walked away, waving. We waved back, and started walking out the door.
"She was nice." I said
"Yeah. Thanks for handling that well."
"No prob. She was sweet."
"To the hotel?"
Well, if that was long or not, I hope I eased everyone's anticipation a little bit!
Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLARA!!! This is dedicated to you!

My shaman is cleaning up the throw-up in his soul form yesterday.
They addressed my major point of rogues in PvP vs. Shaman, so I'm cool with that part now.
They address (by brute force) the lore reasoning of "nature" type dispels for shaman (i.e. not designing themselves into a corner)
Ok, I'll reserve judgement on the new dispelling stuff in Cata when I see my shammy in action with these new, magic type encounters. However, this does NOT address the problems that new shaman will have leveling through the content that DID have a lot of diseases and poisons in it.

All reviews you read on Interpunk were written by customers that bought a copy of the reviewed item directly from us.
Tune down, smoke up. Most definitly, hold on... yeah thats better. lots of distortion n awesomeness. like a mix of eyehategod, bongzilla, n electric wizard. not for the faint of heart. bought this after buying their second cd "ritual abuse" on a whim. thankfully i did. i found it weird that the first cd on a much smaller label was here. not the second cd which is released through relapse records. these guys have become one of my favorite doom/stoner/sludge bands.
I'm getting a bigger bang for a buck on this CD. No I'm not joking. There selling this album for one dollar. 20 songs plus a secret track after a 5 minute gap of silence. Checking cell phone messages , making weird noises and playing 2 songs How Far We've Come & Kill Yourself To This Song both acoustic. Its way longer than the original version. Your getting 70 minutes of material on this disc. If you can't get this CD for a buck then you got problems plain and simple.
Not sure if this is considered an EP or an album, but with 10 songs, I'm going with the latter. Pseudo Heroes feature members of Down By Law and Pink Lincolns, and definitely bring back the Big Drill Car / Samiam / Doughboys love. Their first two releases stuck to that basic formula, but since then, have explored various styles of punk rock, all while keeping the early 90's style melodic punk as the foundation. I'm glad I picked this up again before it went out of print (kiddos, never ever let soon to be ex-girlfriends borrow your music). Do yourself a great service and get this along with their other three cd's, it's a safe bet. I can't believe this was released nine years ago. While it seems doubtful, I hope to hear more from them in the future.
This post Jets To Brazil project goes back to a more Jawbreaker approach. At first it was hard for me to give this band a chance. I am an extremely loyal Jets To Brazil fan, and was very upset when JTB called it quits. So when Blake started a new band eight years later it was hard for me to know what to make of all of it. When i first heard the Forgetters debut EP i was extremely disappointed at the sound quality and and overall makeup of the songs. This was not a proper follow up to the masterpiece "Perfecting Loneliness". I was ready to throw in the towel at this post Jets To Brazil project, so when the forgetters LP was released i wasn't too excited about it. Once i discovered the female bassist from the first EP quit the band and Jets To Brazil producer J. Robbins was playing bass and producing the new album i decided to give it a chance. Although the Forgetters are not a super group like JTB once was, it doesn't change Blake's knack for being a brilliant song writer and lyricist. This album really started to grow on me. I have listened to it everyday for the last two months and it keeps getting better and better. Blake Schwarzenbach is a brilliant musician and this album is a worthy predecessor to the Masterpiece "Perfecting Loneliness". Blakes genius as an Artist is aspiring, and choosing to follow up on his latest work was a good decision. Picking up this album is a must for any hardcore Jawbreaker or Jets To Brazil fan.
I stumbled onto Behind Enemy Lines from listening to Aus Rotton and Caustic Christ. This cd is full of none stop in your face energy from start to end with the band not even stopping to take a breath not missing a beat in the mean time The vocals match the bands energy with angst and a point to send to the listener which it does very well.Do some thing right in your life and buy this cd your ears will thank me for it.
This band is great. Prelude to the underline ep stands out on its own form. Coming from columbus ohio. they have great songs , excellent packaging but wait there's no info on band members or photos of them inside at all! just the tracklist and most of the lyrics squeezed in on the other image is when you take the cd out to see what's behind it. If you like short lived bands that only lasted one album. My final breath is worth a listen but they are catchy and might stuck in your head.
14 years since the band's last album, and these guys haven't missed a step. Chaotic, feedback-ridden sludge the way it was meant to be played. Perfect music for those drunken stupor nights where you want to smash out the neighbors windows with your empty beer bottles.
This could possibly be the best Meatmen album ever recorded. Definitely good to see Tesco back after an 18 year absence. His new backing band consists of ex-members of Chapstik (also a good MI band) and totally appear to be the best guys for the job. Fun, offensive, and very solid album. If you're already a fan, you know what to expect.
When the Accused reunited and split again, several year ago, Tommy retained the band name and released a new album with a bunch of hired goons. Blaine and Alex opted to start fresh with Toe Tag. So, what we have here is something similar to old Accused, but slightly slower, rawer, and with a bit of Black Sabbath influence. Way better that "Curse of Martha Splatterhead" and definitely worth checking out, whether you're a fan of old Accused or not. The live bonus tracks don't sound too bad either.
Kick ass record!! Really fast no bullshit fastcore. Sound is kinda rough but it doesn't take away from how sick these two dudes jam. Just buy it

American Realities: Greg Escalante and Nathan Spoor peek into Clare RojasJuxtapoz // Wednesday, 15 Apr 2009
Greg Escalante and Nathan Spoor take a look at the exhibit American Realities, featuring the latest works from superstars Clare Rojas, Andrew Jeffrey Wright and the elusive 'Lydia Fong.'
With all the artists on hand and performing in one way or another at the opening, it was quite the event and entertained eager crowds for hours on end. Follow Escalante and Spoor for more coverage below:
On arrival there was a slight wait whilst the gallery became viewer-ready. The fellow on the right there is Barry McGee, giving an eyeball to the lovely gallery assistant working on Lydia Fong's wall.
Clare Rojas work is very interesting. In fact, it's so fascinating that you can get lost between the imagery, absorbed in her unique voice for the contemporary female.
Though Rojas' work is often called "folk" art, it is not. Rather, it borrows elements for her messages addressing the resiliency of the modern female.
In her works, the female is often taken as being a sad representation of women's plight. Not so, she would say. The work exists to show an alternative reality or possibility to the views on modern women, and creates a safe place for them to exist as well as address the issues of achieving beauty and relaying a message of peace.
Clare's work quite often employs her crafty sense of humor to achieve her message, in which the men's are not overlooked.
Equally amazing to note is that Clare has a story for her work, and each piece within the work has a story that connects it to all the rest. In essence, it is a community carrying her message, an organic and well-heeled correspondence that continues from one painting to the next. Here are some other fine examples of Rojas' work…
In the office area is a huge Date Farmer's piece of Obama, I'm talking wall-sized here. You can't wrap your arms around that roll of bubble wrap unless you're way bigger than huge.
Los Angeles painter Lola was bringing her toes to the exhibit.
Here's a shot at Clare's guitar, or should I say, Peggy Honeywell's guitar. Midway through the opening Peggy got up and entertained the happy throng with a few of her best hits.
Ah, the elusive Lydia Fong. While no live footage or photos seem to exist of the Shanghai artist, we enjoy the work as we lie in wait.
Here's a close up look at the Fong installation. Though there are rumors floating around that Barry McGee has something to do with the Fong works, I'm just not sure I see it…
No, nothing like Barry McGee at all, do you think so? I just don't see the similarities.
More Fong works. I still don't see what you're talking about, where exactly does that come off like Barry's work? Fong is gooood.
Rojas takes a minute from her performance break to hang with Stecyk.
Andrew Jefferey Wright is a founding member of the infamous Space 1026 community in Philadelphia. He's also a very interesting visual artist and renowned film creator. Though he is a film artist, this is not him with the camera.
In the center of his room was a can full of those crazy "furbie" dolls…
…with a cutout back showing a runaway furbie making his mark on the restroom scene inside.
AJW posted up a really interesting experience in that little room at New Image. Everywhere you look there's something fun and interesting. I don't even want to know more about his rave hole though…
Viewer enjoys some of AJW's video work.
Andrew Jeffrey Wright and Clare Rojas hanging out in the office, beyond the din of the crowd up front. Interesting note: the two worked on a collaborative video piece called, "The Manipulators," which has won the top prize for animation at the New York Underground Film Festival and the New York Comedy Film Festival. Barry McGee is actually right outside that door testing out new cans of spray, about to have an art outing.
