The engineer and producer Andy Johns worked on many landmark rock albums of the late Sixties and Seventies, including Led Zeppelin's II, III, IV, Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti; Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main St., Goats Head Soup and It's Only Rock 'n Roll by the Rolling Stones; and Television's celebrated debut, Marquee Moon. Though he followed the same traditional route, from tape operator via engineer and mixer to producer as his older brother, the more famous Glyn Johns, the ten year age difference meant that they seldom collaborated – even if both occasionally appeared on the same credit lists when they separately assisted name producers like Eddie Kramer or Jimmy Miller.
More prone to the rock'n'roll lifestyle than Glyn, Andy Johns admitted that, much like Miller, his time with the Stones resulted in him developing "a bit of a drug problem. Working on Exile was really long, sitting around in the South of France, waiting for the band to show up. There was always smack around. The boredom is why I started doing it," he admitted. Yet he recognised Exile's significance and helped complete the project in a marathon three-day mixing session at Sunset Sound Recorders in Los Angeles in March 1972.
"I knew more about what was on the tapes than anybody else, because I was concentrating so hard. I knew what all the details were. Everybody else was sick of the damn thing. I learned about perseverance. I also learned that there was another way to live, beyond the norm," he said. "Rock and roll back then meant a little bit more than it does now. It had social significance, breaking down the establishment. It represented the way a generation felt about things."
Born in Epsom, Surrey in 1952, he attended The King's School in Gloucester. By his mid-teens he was already within the Stones orbit, since his brother shared a house with Ian Stewart, the group's pianist and "sixth member". Glyn presented him with a bass he'd acquired from Bill Wyman and Andy was intent on emulating his hero and becoming "the next great bass player of all time" – until he started accompanying Glyn to Olympic Studios in Barnes during school holidays, realising that what his brother did "looked a lot better than working".
Within a few days, in 1967, he was assisting Kramer on the sessions for Axis: Bold as Love, the seminal second album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. "It was a serious learning experience," he recalled of another time running the tape machine and errands for the Stones as they cut the psychedelic manqué album Their Satanic Majesties Request. "Back then, you didn't need to train for years. I got a lot of work straight away," he said of his step up from tape op to engineer. In November 1968 he depped for Glyn and assisted Miller during the recording of the Stones epic "You Can't Always Get What You Want" at Olympic.
Like Glyn, Andy was not exclusively attached to one studio facility, and undertook a lot of work at Morgan Studios, helming Free's 1969 debut Tons of Sobs, and engineering and mixing Jethro Tull's second album, Stand Up, a No 1 in August 1969. The same month he received his first production credit for Ahead Rings Out by Blodwyn Pig, the blues-rock group led by the former Tull guitarist Mick Abrahams. "I didn't know what I was doing then. I didn't have a clue," he later reflected, somewhat unfairly, since both the Blodwyn Pig debut and their follow-up, Getting to This, which he also produced, reached the Top Ten in the UK.
He reverted to an engineering role for releases by Traffic, Ten Years After, Spooky Tooth and Blind Faith, and began developing a trademark style on the Free albums he produced before and after their 1970 breakthrough with "All Right Now", which he missed out on because of commitments at Morgan. "I was the only engineer there. I was just at the point of absolute nervous exhaustion," he remembered.
He recovered and perfected his diplomatic skills and production touch with the Stones, and made sterling contributions to classic Led Zeppelin tracks like "Stairway to Heaven" and "When the Levee Breaks". In 1972, he produced the self-titled debut by Bobby Whitlock, of Derek and the Dominos fame, as well as Why Dontcha, the first album by the power trio West, Bruce and Laing, and Free's swansong album, Heartbreaker.
In the mid-Seventies, he relocated to Los Angeles. His involvement with the pioneering New York group Television might have seemed unlikely, but guitarist Tom Verlaine had been listening to Goats Head Soup. "My first impression was that they couldn't play and couldn't sing and the music was very bizarre. But after we finished mixing, we went to some rehearsal place and played it on these large speakers, and I was bowled over," said Johns, who beautifully captured the dual guitars of Verlaine and Richard Lloyd on the tour de force title track, "Marquee Moon", and made Television one of the most influential acts of the post-punk era.
In 1978, he showed his versatility as the right-hand man to Tom Dowd, helping to turn Rod Stewart's "Da' Ya' Think I'm Sexy?" into a disco smash. The following year, he engineered Shadows and Light, Joni Mitchell's excellent double live set. From the mid-Eighties, he hit another purple patch, with a steady stream of big-sounding rock albums for Gary Moore, Ozzy Osbourne, Cinderella, Joe Satriani and Van Halen.
Even if he loved talking about compressors and developed a wonderful understanding of 5.1 mixes, his approach to production remained simple. "My idea is to make it sound as if you are at the best rehearsal that the band ever did, and you are about twelve feet back from the stage," he said.
As a producer, his forte was the layering of guitar parts and achieving a meaty drum sound, but he had other strengths. "With arrangements, it's obvious to me when something isn't working and it's easy for me to figure out how to make it work. I have a firm grasp on how I want the thing to end up instead of vacillating all over the place," he said.
His recent credits included Chickenfoot, the eponymous 2009 debut of a supergroup featuring Satriani, Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar of Van Halen fame and Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers. "There's been ups and downs," he commented in The Encyclopedia of Record Producers. "But I've had a lovely time. There's one or two things I'd change, but not much."
Johns' sons have also gone into music. Will Johns, his son from his first marriage to actress/model Paula Boyd, the sister of Pattie Boyd of "Layla" fame, is a singer-songwriter. Evan Johns, his son from his second marriage, was the drummer with the US alternative group HURT between 2004 and 2008.
Andy Johns, producer and engineer: born Epsom, Surrey 1 January 1952; twice married (two sons); died Los Angeles 7 April 2013.Reuse content

Circuit Breaker Analyzer, the world's first iPod/iPhone-based application for testing circuit breaker performance based on vibration analysis, won the "Most Innovative" new product award at the PowerTest 2013 electrical maintenance conference and exhibition held in New Orleans, Feb. 18-21.
A majority of the 400 attendees at this year's PowerTest 2013 event, which is organized by the InterNational Electrical Testing Association (NETA), voted to give the Circuit Breaker Analyzer the award based on the technical presentation given by co-developer and president of Group CBS, Finley Ledbetter.
Using the accelerometer inside every iPhone, new-model iPod, and select industrial handheld tablets, the award-winning Circuit Breaker Analyzer captures vibration data in all three axes as well as across time. By comparing the newly acquired vibration signature to a database of more than approximately 200 known good profiles (KGP) and/or the vibration signature of the breaker's "first trip" operation, pattern recognition algorithms can determine when changes in the "envelope" or shape of the vibration signature indicate a hidden mechanical problem that will eventually lead to breaker failure if left unchecked.
Product benefits include:
- Simple operation
- Minimal training
- No modification of the circuit breaker is needed
- No electrical connections required
- Removal of the circuit breaker from its mounting or cubicle is not necessary
- Testing can be performed during routine switching
- Data is easily transmitted to a central location

Sony launches Cyber-shot WX300, HX300 and TX30 compact cameras
Sony has announced the Cyber-shot DSC-WX300, DSC-HX300 and DSC-TX30 compact cameras. The HX300 is a 50x superzoom with a 24-1200mm equivalent lens in front of a 20MP CMOS sensor. Meanwhile the WX300 is a compact superzoom that Sony says is the slimmest 20x camera. It has an 18MP CMOS chip behind its 25-500mm equiv. lens. Finally, the tough, waterproof card-style TX30 shares the same sensor and offers a 26-130mm equiv zoom.
Jump to:
Capture all the action with three power-packed new Cyber-shot™ cameras from Sony
|Sony Cyber-shot TX30
- WX300: slim and super-stylish, world's smallest and lightest1 with powerful 20x optical zoom, enhanced image stabilisation and speedy autofocus
- HX300: ultra-powerful 50x optical zoom with DSLR-style handling and manual controls, enhanced image stabilisation and speedy autofocus
- TX30: World's slimmest digital compact camera2 with waterproof to 10m, freeze- and shock-proof3
Give your photography a serious boost with the stylish, feature-packed new Cyber-shot™ WX300, HX300 and TX30 compact digital cameras from Sony.
With newly-refined optical image stabilisation and faster autofocus, the WX300 and HX300 are more effective than ever at grabbing those fleeting moments… even when you're zoomed in close.
Cyber-shot™ WX300
|Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX300
The slim, super-stylish Cyber-shot™ WX300 is the world's smallest, lightest1 digital still camera that packs a powerful 20x optical zoom range.
A perfect pocket-sized travel partner, the WX300 features a high-quality G Lens by Sony that effortlessly handles wide-angle landscapes, portraits and dramatic close-ups. If you're holding the camera at arm's length, walking along or zoomed in, Optical SteadyShot cuts the effect of shaky hands for crisp, blur-free stills. Stabilisation is now around twice4 as effective at high-zoom settings as the previous-generation Cyber-shot™ HX20V with 20x zoom. It's enhanced by Active Mode that ensures handheld movies look smooth and steady, too.
You'll grab even more special moments with super-fast autofocus that's now approximately 3.6x quicker 5 than the Cyber-shot™ HX20V when fully zoomed in.
Built-in Wi-Fi lets you use your smartphone as a handy wireless remote to control the camera. It's ideal for self-portraits and group shots when you want to be in on the action. You can also send photos and videos right to your smartphone or tablet for easy viewing and sharing, using the PlayMemories™ Mobile app by Sony. View still images stored in your camera wirelessly on a networked TV; or backup photos and videos straight from Cyber-shot™ to your PC using PlayMemories™ Home.
Despite its tiny size, the Cyber-shot™ WX300 packs enough stamina to shoot up to 500 photos5 from a single battery charge: plenty for a busy day's shooting when you're out and about.
Cyber-shot™ HX300
|Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX300
Standing out with purposeful DSLR-style looks and handling, the power-packed Cyber-shot™ HX300 lets you travel light without the hassle of carrying extra lenses. With a huge 50x optical zoom range – among the highest for any compact camera – the Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens covers a wide range of shooting possibilities, from holidays and safari trips to sports and outdoor concerts. The T* coating on lens surfaces cuts reflections and 'flare', while Super ED and ED glass elements minimise chromatic aberration for satisfyingly sharp, high-contrast images.
In a Cyber-shot™ first, the HX300 features newly-enhanced Optical SteadyShot for stress-free composition and clearer photos even at high zoom settings. The position of a second group of lens elements shifts rapidly to correct for tiny hand tremors, making it twice as easy7 to frame shots comfortably.
Also improved for 2013, high-speed autofocus at telephoto settings locks onto your subject around twice5 as quickly as its predecessor model, the Cyber-shot™ HX200V. You'll find it easier than ever to grab those spontaneous moments with crisp, blur-free results.
The lengthiest shooting sessions are made a pleasure by the camera's balanced DSLR-style body and moulded ergonomic grip that fits comfortably in your hand. There's also a full range of intuitively-placed controls including manual ring, custom button, jog dial and Memory Recall mode, just like you'd expect from a DSLR camera.
The HX300 also features the versatile new 'Multi Terminal' interface that allows intelligent communication between the camera and a growing range of shooting accessories.
Cyber-shot™ TX30
Great for swimming, snorkelling, skiing or just having fun, the Cyber-shot™ TX30 with 5x optical zoom is the world's slimmest digital compact camera2 that's waterproof to a depth of 10m. The chic, stylish camera also handles dust, bumps and freezing temperatures3 , helping you catch the action in virtually any situation with beautiful, detail-packed still images and smooth Full HD video.
New to Cyber-shot™, Magnifying Glass Plus mode zooms right in for a fascinating super-size view – magnified6 up to 15x – of colourful fish, plants and insects or tiny print on a restaurant menu. The camera's powerful LED lights up dim scenes for really clear, detailed close-ups.
Sparkling picture quality made simple
The Exmor R™ CMOS sensor inside all three new Cyber-shot™ models captures richly-detailed, stills and Full HD video with very low picture noise, even if you're shooting without flash at dusk or in dimly-lit interiors. You don't have to be an expert photographer to get impressive results in the trickiest shooting conditions. Superior Auto on all models helps capture dimly-lit action, even recognising when your subject's moving.

I own it

I had it
I own it
I want it
I had it
I own it
I want it
I had it
I am planning to buy a bridge camera, should I wait for the Sony HX300 or buy the Canon SX50 ?
Your advice be will greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Oh another toyzoom from Sony with 20Mega-interpolated pixels on a mediocre sensor. That is so nice Sony!
Wait! Is that really manual zoom? =D
It seems it has an EVF..
Don't see point of TX30. This segment has been killed by smartphones long ago.
More TX30 specs and images can be found at http://www.zone-numerique.com/sony-cyber-shot-dsc-tx30.html .
Since it's only 96,4 x 59,3 x 15,4 mm, I'd like to see a SIM card and other related phone electronics added, enlarged a bit and it would be a perfect carry-everywhere device. Until that happens I'm not parting with my TX10.
Speaking only about the WX-300, in this class, to me the Panasonic Lumix FZ200 is still the winner.
Take 2
Or better wait for the Panasonic FZ300, offering 24-1200mm with constant fast f2.8, wifi smartphone control with display sync also in video rec mode, choosable 8/10/12bit recording, highspeed mode in FHD@120fps, UHD(4k)@30fps and an experimental UHD(8k)@15fps mode - of course only after a hack from Vitaliy Kiselev and a chipset modification kit for $9.95 on ebay introducing h.265 recording capability ;-)
P.S.: forgot the ETC-mode hack by Vitaliy, which boosts the 24-1200 telescope up next to Hubble spheres:
62mm-3120mm for FHD mode
94mm-4680mm for the HD+WVGA modes and finally a
115mm-5760mm for the VGA mode.
Of course for extraterrestrial life search only.
Have fun.
Take 1
It appears to me as if Sony with its HX300 bridge camera presents a mighty successor to the Panasonic FZ50 that many FZ50-lovers expected for a long time and Panasonic itself failed to deliver for years now - at least with regard to these two requirements:
1) large grip (preventing hand spasm holding those tiny handles ...)
2) zoom ring (yet to be determined whether this is really mechanical translation or a replacement for the zoom lever with little control over the real zoom speed)
It will be interesting to compare picture and video quality, focus speed and more with the Panasonic FZ200 to see whether the two criterions mentioned above make a difference.
I don't need 1200mm in my telescope. Why would I need it for terrestrial work?
The camera has not got a 1200mm focal length lens, it is 215mm focal length..
I have a 20 to 60x zoom on my Kowa telescope which cost more than the scope and is invaluable for bird spotting on the local reservoir. I presume you are talking about an astronomical telescope which I believe need aperture more than magnification, for stars at least.
Also as these cameras start from a wide angle so a 50x zoom probably is only 25x magnification if you take 50mm as eyesight. Happy to to be corrected on this. I did find with a SX40 that I had the magnification at full zoom did seem to be half that of the telescope.
1200mm/50mm = 24 diameters magnification.
In the photographic world, this is huge.
HX300V "review" with more complete specs:
Can someone tell me what is the difference between TX30 and TX20
they are basically the same and TX20 is also the same as TX10
Oh wait it now has 18MP
is it actually getting worse?

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
No where in my posts was I saying that GW2 was a classical Trinity, but my point was that there were rolls and that I agree with the poster about these rolls.
See, I was under the assumpition that GW2 was "breaking the mold" of the trinity setup. Obviously, that 'mold' must be made of tissue paper, because it really isn't breaking it to the degree that everyone makes it out to be. As I said before, there are tanks in this game. There are classes that 'can't' fullfill that roll of tank that say a guardian or warrior could. This alone seperates classes into categories. When you have classes with specific 'categories', then you have the start of a trinity system.
Sure, you can complete dungeons with a bit of mayham and some ressurections, but if you throw a tank in there (And there are tanks), then the operation is much smoother. Less running around like chickens with your heads cut off. Doesn't that setup already push for a semi trinity setup? Sure, you lack the healer, but you still push Tank/dps + offheals.
Oh, and this isn't even getting into PvP. Where we can really see the survivability of certain classes because of this setup.

You show me a "tank" in GW2, one who stays in front of dungeon mobs for a lengthy period of time, without switching out to others in the group, and I might agree with you.. and I'm not referring to ranged mobs like the spider boss in Twilight Arbor. It's impossible to take typical tank damage from mobs this way. Part of the definition of a tank is being able to draw aggro to yourself at will, by the way. There is no system for that in GW2. You can call them tanks until your head turns blue, it doesn't make it true.
I dont have such a strict definition of tank as someone who just stands and takes damage. For example, in TERA you had two type of tanks, one was the traditional one and one was an agile one which needed to dodge to avoid attacks or he would die.
So for me a tank is the one that takes the brunt of damage or potential damage, meaning he gets the mobs attention and then avoids their attacks and GW 2 does have an aggro system so it is possible to get the attention of a mob.
However I did say that DPS is the primary role so what we are talking about is to be an of-tank and that is possible in GW 2. However an of-healer is not because, for some reason, team heals in this game are weak and/or on long CD. However aggro you can get by a combination of DPS and CC so you can get it consistently unless someone else take the aggro.
Tera had a traditional trinity, a tank to keep mobs focused away from the others, 3 damage dealers, and a healer to keep everyone alive.
Tera tanks had bonus threat generation to keep bosses steady, taunts to take aggro back but they weren't meatbag tanks because they required active blocking or dodging. Berserker could avoid damage similar to the lancer, slayer could avoid damage similar to the warrior but they lacked the threat generation to be an effective tank for end instances.
Originally posted by Yamota
One of GW 2 "features" is that it does not have any trinity system of tanks, healers etc but the problem, from what I have experienced so far, is that it has replaced it with tank, damage, CC but just removed the healer and allowing everyone to have self heals, with long cool down and some classes to have some limited healing. Not sure I see the improvment here. I heard that this is supposedly be replaced by classes which can prevent damage but which class is so good at preventing damage so to not need healing?
Eliminating the trinity emphasizes skill over using the same tried, true, and incredibly freaking tired system all over again. Guardians can buff the party a bit, but the game relies on the skill of the players to get things done instead of the trinity system. That was the point of getting rid of the trinity system.

I'm sure he's serious...not sure if he's right or not ..but in the case of the op he seems to have nailed it on the head
Taken from wikipedia:
"Tanking" occurs when the unit is intended to be the one taking damage (typically by being dangerous or detrimental, or using a game mechanic that forces it to be targeted), and secondly, to ensure that they can survive this damage through sheer health points or mitigation.
The first part simply doesn't exist in GW2. I took my "tank" guardian with "dps" warrior into CM(story) and duoed it all the way. There was NO WAY to make mob stick onto me once it went for warrior no matter what I did. If there's a magic build/skill/rotation to make it possible, enlighten us please, instead insinuating that we are poor players.
The second part fits many turtling builds, especially guardian, who can take quite some beating from melee/ranged mobs. However GW2 tanks are very vulnerable to any condition damage, especially guardian, with his low HP. I guess you can go around this making condition removal builds and rotating similar skills in party.
tl;dr - there are defensive builds in GW2, but there are no tanks.
Originally posted by crazynanny tl;dr - there are defensive builds in GW2, but there are no tanks.
The illusion of tanking exists, and sometimes (such as the examples I gave on the previous page) it's a convincing illusion, some people just fall for it more easily than others.

The breakfast buffet was fantastic.
Only valet parking offered. The parking lot next to the hotel, which was not affiliated with Omni, was supposed to be $10/day max but we were charged $20 each morning when we were leaving the lot because "the time resets at midnight, therefore you are charged $10 till 12:00am and then $10 for this morning". The thermostat in our room did not work correctly. We reported it to the front desk, but upon our return to our room that evening we noticed that someone changed our fan setting from "auto" to "high" but the thermostat still did not read correctly and never cooled properly.
No helped is with our luggage when we arrived. Had to load, unload and wheel logguge cart ourselves. Someone's used razor left in shower. Used coffee cup in KIERIG machine. When leaving the next morning, there was a luggage valet guy and we were told that we HAD to use him instead of using the luggage cart ourselves. He loaded our luggage and took it outside, where he abandoned it on the curb and walked away. My fiancé was getting the car (we were instructed to park in next door lot instead of parking deck bc we were traveling with a kayak in top and was too big for garage heighth). While I'm standing by our luggage still sitting on rolling Cart outside of hotel, a valet guy pulls up a car then backs it up directly in front of me. I asked him if he could pull forward since my fiancé was pulling in right behind him. Instead of being helpful or moving the car, instead he just shrugged his shoulders and went to get another car. So we had to park on the other side and load all of our luggage ourselves (although plenty of staff seemed to be around except the actually luggage valet that we foolishly already gave a $15 tip too.! Very rude people here!
The only issue I had was that the front desk could not locate a key for the mini fridge so that we could use it.

Jennifer Jensen - January 31st
Nominated by classroom volunteer, Jerry Jensen:
I am retired, and volunteer in Jennifer Jensen's 8th Grade Special Education class. One cannot really appreciate what her day is like unless they see it in person. I don't know how she does it! She is as much of a "best friend" to these kids as she is a teacher. Many of these children have very rough home lives, and they go to Jennifer for advice and guidance. Many of the students come from a one-parent home. It's truly amazing how a hug from her can turn tears into a smile and give them hope for the future! Jennifer has two Masters Degrees and has a firm, yet sensitive teaching style. Special education kids can sometimes be a handful, but she has learned the secret to keeping them under control: stay calm.......don't get angry......and listen. Many of her past students come back to visit her and thank her for the help she has given them in the past. I enjoy hearing about these success stories! Jennifer often takes some of her old clothing to school and gives it to girls who obviously are in need of it. You would have to actually see her in action to really appreciate what she does! People who say that teachers are over-paid are sadly mistaken. Jennifer quickly goes through her limited supplies, so the gift card from being Educator of the Week for classroom supplies, would really help.
Congratulations Jennifer, from all of us at K103!
What inspired you to become an educator?
I have always enjoyed working with children and I have a variety of interests, so I decided that I wanted to be an elementary school teacher. I ended up getting hired to teach a 8th grade special education class 7 years ago and I truly found my "place" in education. The main reason I wanted to become an educator is to make a difference in student's lives.
What do you like most about teaching?
What I like most about teaching is the relationships I form with my students. Many of my students do not have consistent adult relationships at home and I enjoy providing that stability at school. Students come to me for advice about how to perform better at school, as well as how to navigate friendships and other parts of life. I pride myself in being their biggest "cheerleader" and always being there when they need someone to talk to.
What has changed the most since you began your career in education?
The workload has changed tremendously in my 9 years of teaching. When I began, I worked with a secretary who scheduled all of my IEP meetings and 3 instructional assistants that helped me work with kids. In the past two years, all of those positions have been eliminated and the extra work has fallen on me.
What would you like parents to know about your job?
I work hard every day to provide their children with the best education that will prepare them for the next step, high school. This means that I regularly work 2-3 hours past my contract time and am not paid for the extended work hours.
Share a favorite story about your years in education.
During my first year teaching special education, I worked with a student who didn't seem to care much about school. He wouldn't participate or complete much of his work, but I never gave up on him. I was worried what the future would hold for this student. His freshman year, he came back to visit me and I could see that his attitude toward school had changed. He told me how much he appreciated my persistence in trying to get him involved in school and he wished he would have listened to me. He became involved in sports and completely changed his work ethic at school. In the end, he graduated on time and joined the United States military. This student taught me that no matter what, I can never "give up" on trying to help kids be successful in school and in life. In most instances, teachers never know how they have impacted the lives of their students, but I had the chance to hear that I did make a difference.

Abstract The Red-bellied Woodpecker species group (Melanerpes carolinus and relatives) is composed of five morphologically similar species whose limits have been unclear. The relationship of the Golden-fronted Woodpecker (M. aurifrons) to the remainder of the group is particularly uncertain. We used mitochondrial DNA sequences to examine the phylogeny of this group and its close relatives. We sequenced 872 bp, including fragments of the genes for ND2, ND3, COIII, and tRNAmet, of 11 species of Melanerpes. We constructed trees from combined sequences by using the maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference approaches. We found that M. aurifrons is not monophyletic but rather consists of two clades, one comprising tropical populations (M. santacruzi), the other, consisting of northern populations, being sister to M. carolinus. The Caribbean species, M. superciliaris, is sister to the carolinus–aurifrons clade. The group as a whole appears to have diversified into multiple lineages in response to several episodes of vicariance, perhaps associated with glacial–interglacial cycles. As a result of these findings, major taxonomic changes in the group are needed.

Yes on the former. They're not really corrupting sHORTurl's functionality;
just its innocence.
Basically, people are posting hort.net URLs to porn Web sites to make it
look like it's a hort.net link and not a porn site. Then people are

Best hotels in Manila
The bustling city of Manila, with an overall population of roughly 12 million, is known as the Pearl of the Orient as it was and still is a vital route for Pacific sea trade. Located on the eastern shore of Manila bay, the city is the economic and cultural capital of the country, housing the Philippines most historic and holy sites. This ancient city, along with its stellar beaches, has become a major tourist hub and is rapidly growing. And with over a million tourists coming to Manila every year, the city is no stranger to tourism and is quite hospitable. You can find the best Manila hotels with Hotels.com, which offers visitors a comprehensive hotel comparison of all Manila hotels. Hotels.com also hosts a slew of authentic guest reviews and even numerous real-time photos of the various hotels, rooms and surrounding area in Manila, allowing visitors to make a well-informed decision and find the right accommodation that fits their budget and preference.
What's Manila Like?
If you plan on touring the city, there is no better place to start than the walled city of Intramuros, the oldest district in Manila and its historic center. Within the walls of Intramuros, one can find the San Agustin Museum as well as the San Agustin Church, which has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site owing to its existence since colonial times. The museum was originally a monastery used by the Augustinians. Rizal Park is a historical landmark and used to be the execution ground for the Spaniards. Measuring at just about half a square kilometer, the park is located just outside the ways of Intramuros and overlooks the scenic Manila Bay area. Another not-so-historic major tourist attraction is Manila's Mall of Asia, slated as the biggest urban shopping complex in all of Asia - that's right the whole of Asia!
Getting Around Manila
Being a major metropolis, there is no shortage of ways to get around the city and its surrounding areas. You can use any of the various mass transit options, hire a cab, or travel in one of the city's moving icons, the Jeepney. A small bit of advice, taxicabs can be a bit of a let-down in terms of pricing and honesty, so it is best to haggle out the price before you get in one. But, if you prefer old-school travel you can always hitch a ride on one of the Spanish-era horse drawn carriages! So, plan your latest trip with and book your Manila hotels with Hotels.com!

A review of the four-episode mini-series "National Treasure," premiering on Hulu this Wednesday.
"Greedy" has the misfortune to forget that it's a comedy, just when we're beginning to smile. The movie has a promising first act, and then makes the mistake of taking its silly story seriously, with dreadful results: The last two-thirds of this movie plays like a sitcom without the laugh track - or the laughs.
Kirk Douglas stars, as a rich old man named Uncle Joe, whose relatives have named all their children, boys and girls, after him.
It's part of their long campaign to inherit his millions, made during a long career in the scrap metal industry. But Uncle Joe has no plans to die soon - not with Molly (Olivia D'Abo), his pneumatic British "nurse," modeling bikinis in his whirlpool bath.
Uncle Joe is well aware of the venal schemes of his hateful relatives, who hire private detectives in order to dig up dirt about each other. But there is one young man he remembers fondly: Daniel (Michael J. Fox), son of the black sheep of the family. Daniel's father was a liberal do-gooder who would rather fight for the rain forest than for Joe's fortune, and he walked out of Joe's life long ago - taking his son with him. But now Daniel is located by the relatives, and brought back to entertain old Joe with his favorite Jimmy Durante routines. If Joe likes Danny, the theory goes, maybe he'll leave his money to him instead of to the hated nurse. And then the family can make a side deal with Danny.
All of this is established in the movie's opening sequences, which are written with edge and energy by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel. They know the territory; their previous credits include such family comedies as "Cocoon," "Parenthood" and "Mr. Saturday Night." But here, after their good start, something goes wrong. They don't really create a family. Instead, they create a scrum of supporting actors who seem to move in and out of frame as a team. The most prominent of the greedy cousins is played by Ed Begley, Jr., who has been playing too many unpleasant relatives recently. Others are Bob Balaban, Phil Hartman, Jere Burns and Colleen Camp. They gnash their teeth at one another, they pull dirty tricks, they tell lies, they flatter Uncle Joe shamelessly, and mostly they fail to convince us of two things we need to believe: That they're a family, and that they're funny.
Danny, the Fox character, is a very bad professional bowler, who has a relationship with a TV sports producer (Nancy Travis). She believes in him, if not perhaps in his future as a bowler. Her character is essentially unnecessary; in a real comedy, she would have been out with the rewrite. Here she populates romantic interludes and acts as Fox's conscience. D'Abo, as Molly the nurse, has the tricky job of living off Uncle Joe's money without quite sleeping in his bed, although she doesn't recoil when his naughty old nose finds itself in her cleavage. Both Molly and Danny are required to almost lose their morals and self-respect, and then to regain them in a series of deadening scenes.
What Ganz and Mandel should know is that a comedy dies when the writers start taking the plot more seriously than the laughs. Who really cares about the issues involved here? If I want a movie that's really about greed, I'll go to the real thing - Erich von Stroheim's "Greed" (1924) from the Frank Norris novel "McTeague." (Wouldn't you know that Uncle Joe's last name is McTeague.) "Greedy" was directed by Jonathan Lynn ("My Cousin Vinny"), who never quite figures out how to juggle so many characters.
The set-up for "Greedy" promises a comedy, and so do the ads. What we get are the makings for some slapstick, and then a dreary series of dialogue-heavy scenes during which the movie shyly dips its toe into some deep issues. It's fun, of course, to see Kirk Douglas in action again, and it's not his fault Uncle Joe's relatives are all boring simpletons. But if you stay until the end of the movie, ask yourself this about Douglas's final scene: What was that all about?

What with Neil Morse, formerly of Spock's Beard, doing Christian spiritual prog fairly successfully, there must be a market for this stuff. The fact that the band's name used to be Divine Disciple is a good clue to their aim. Majestic Vanguard are not as good as Morse, which is no shock, but they do produce a fairly good slice of power prog on this ten track release. Thankfully they keep things fairly tight and flowing, so it does not sound as if you are being preached at. While none of it could be said to be that original, there is nothing on here that is horrid. I think it might take the band one more release to get it properly together but this is a competent, if predictable, power metal release. One for the more adventurous amongst you, to keep you busy until the new Helloween is released.

Unbelievably easy, this tart is one of my most often baked desserts, since it combines pastry, chocolate, and strawberries—an all-time favorite combination. It looks bakery-perfect and tastes homemade-terrific. Look for small strawberries, especially the increasingly available French fraises des bois, but most important is that the berries are of uniform size for the prettiest presentation.
One-half 15-ounce package refrigerated folded piecrusts
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons white crème de menthe
1 pint small strawberries (about 30 berries), hulled
2 tablespoons strawberry jelly
8 small sprigs fresh mint
1) Keeping one crust refrigerated for another use, unfold the other crust and ease it into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Fold any crust that hangs over the side inward to reinforce the edge of the tart. Press firmly to form the rippled edges, then use a rolling pin or sharp knife to trim the pastry even with the top of the tart pan. Prick the bottom of the tart 4 or 5 times with the tines of a fork. Place the tart shell in the freezer for at least 20 minutes and up to 2 hours.
2) Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bake the tart shell, directly from the freezer, until it is golden and crisp, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack.
3) In a small bowl set over hot water or in a microwave oven, gently melt the chocolate. Stir in 1/3 cup of the cream and 1 tablespoon of the crème de menthe until the mixture is smooth. Spread the chocolate over the bottom of the tart shell. (Refrigerate the remaining 2/3 cup heavy cream.)
4) Arrange the berries in concentric circles, hulled side down, in the lukewarm chocolate. Refrigerate the tart until the chocolate is set, 15 to 20 minutes. In a small saucepan or microwave oven, melt the jelly with the remaining 1 tablespoon crème de menthe. Carefully brush the berries with the jelly, trying to avoid brushing the jelly on the crust or the chocolate. Refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 3 hours.
5) Shortly before serving, whip the reserved heavy cream to soft peaks.
6) To serve, cut the tart into wedges and serve each with a spoonful of softly whipped cream and garnished with a mint sprig.
