EARNHARDT ON CLEVELAND SHOW: Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be one of three NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers, including teammate Kasey Kahne, to be featured on "The Cleveland Show" this Sunday, March 17 at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT. POINTS REPORT: Earnhardt finished seventh last weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and currently ranks third in the driver standings. After three NASCAR Sprint Cup events this season, Earnhardt has two top-five finishes and three top-10s. He trails leader and teammate Jimmie Johnson by 10 points. STRONG START: Earnhardt is off to the best Cup start of his career with three consecutive top-10 results and an average finish of 4.7 in the first three events of the 2013 season. Prior to this year, his best start was last year when he drove the No. 88 Chevy to an average finish of 8.66 in the first three 2012 contests. SEASON-TO-DATE: Earnhardt ranks third among drivers in the first three races of the season with an average running position of 9.502 and third after spending 81.7 percent of the laps run (640 of 783) in the top 15. He has been recorded as the second-fastest driver on restarts with an average rank of 8.667 during his first two laps under green-flag conditions. AT BRISTOL: In 26 Sprint Cup Series starts at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway, Earnhardt has scored one win, seven top-five finishes and 12 top-10s. The 38-year-old driver has an average finishing position of 11.7 and has completed 98.9 percent of all laps he's attempted (12,865 of 13,013 total) at the short track. He has led 758 laps at the .533-mile oval. PERSONAL BEST: Earnhardt's 11.8 average finish at Bristol is a personal best for the driver in the Sprint Cup Series. In the last 22 races there, Earnhardt has finished 11th or better 15 times. BEST AVERAGE FINISH: According to NASCAR's loop data statistics, Earnhardt has the best average finish among all drivers in the last 16 Cup races at Bristol. Earnhardt, who recorded eight top-10s during that timeframe, has an average finish of 9.9 and is the only drivers with an average finish in the top 10 during that span. DRIVER RATING: Earnhardt ranks 11th in the driver rating category at Bristol Motor Speedway with a score of 87.9, according to loop data. The driver rating is a formula that combines wins, top-15 finishes, average running position while on the lead lap, average speed under green, fastest lap, most laps led and lead-lap finishes. The maximum a driver can earn in each race is 150 points. The driver rating number is used pre-race as a prediction tool and post-race as a performance evaluator. CHASSIS CHOICE: This weekend, crew chief Steve Letarte and the No. 88 team will unload Hendrick Motorsports Chassis No. 88-745. Earnhardt most recently raced this chassis to an 11th-place finish at Dover (Del.) International Speedway last September. HENDRICK AT BRISTOL: In 58 Cup events (183 starts) at Bristol, Hendrick Motorsports has nine wins, 46 top-five finishes, 82 top-10s and 11 pole positions. Jeff Gordon is tied for first among active drivers with five wins at the track, while Johnson most recently went to Victory Lane there for the organization in March 2010. SHORT TRACK POWER: Among active drivers at tracks less than one mile in length, Hendrick Motorsports ranks atop the competition in wins and laps led; Gordon is first in both categories with 17 victories and 7,891 laps led. Gordon sits second with 61 top-five finishes (Terry Labonte has 62 among active drivers); and Gordon also ranks second with 18 pole positions (Mark Martin has 19 at tracks less than a mile in length). Heritage trivia? When it comes to racing at Bristol, Labonte earned his most recent top-five result (March 2000) at Bristol driving the No. 5 Chevy, while Martin powered the Hendrick Motorsports machine to his most recent pole there in August 2009. DALE EARNHARDT JR., DRIVER, NO. 88 NATIONAL GUARD CHEVROLET SS (ON BRISTOL MOTOR SPEEDWAY.): "I love racing at Bristol and short track racing in general. I look forward to going there every trip. It's always a tough race, and hopefully, we will come out on top."

When visiting Frederick, we nearly always take a short stroll along the canal, as it is interesting even in the winter. However, in warmer weather, the water plants, ducks, koi-half-breeds and canal-side plantings are a great draw, and several restaurants feature canal-side outdoor dining.
Enjoyed walking around the canal, seeing the birds, and checking out the shops that line it. The art work and the different styles of bridges are worth walking the length of the park.
When we have out of town guests we always take them down to Frederick to walk along the canal there. It was created to stop the flooding from the Monocacy River which is nearby and used to devastate the city with water every few years. It was a brilliant idea to create a way to stop the flooding but to...
this is the best downtown area i haver seen the creek is so pretty with plants and shops and lovely art
The transformation of the creek over the years has been amazing. Many volunteers have worked tirelessly to make this area clean and beautiful. Look for the unexpected little pops of art on the walls where the bridge is. There's a selection of restaurants along the creek, and it's not been extended to go even farther, and includes some very "Vegas-like"...
We love walking along the creek. It is so peaceful in the evening.. and so lively during the day. A beautiful addition to Frederick
This is definitely the jewel of Frederick. The canal is beautiful to walk alongside of and plenty of shops on both sides. The bridges are beautiful (some of them) and plenty of picture spots. Also there are places with big open space for your children to run around and have fun.
I don't think the hoped for end result of this project has met the "if you build it they will come" expectations. The water hasn't flowed like it should (sometimes it can be a little smelly with dead fish floating in it), some stores couldn't survive (Five Guys closed up), and commercial and residential growth hasn't popped up like it...
We love this little area so we decided to visit at Christmas. WHAT A LET DOWN! I thought for sure they would've decorated it beautifully with lights - but no! Just a few lights here or these, but mostly the entire area was dark. The downtown community should be ashamed with themselves for missing out on making this a seasonal...
The city has done a great job in making a very attractive park along the creek. Flowers, attractive pedestrian bridges, and shops/restaurants along the way. Very close to the visitor's center which validates three hours free parking in a nearby deck.

It may have been an 11th hour deal, but last week the US managed to avert massive tax hikes and spending cuts that would have sent the world's largest economy over the "fiscal cliff" and plunging towards recession.
The last-minute agreement raises taxes for the wealthy minority, while deferring government spending cuts for around two months. Although stock markets soared euphorically in the immediate aftermath, the question is, should you be jumping on this US bandwagon or could it run out of steam?
"These are only temporary measures and it seems they don't have a more permanent plan for addressing the ever-increasing amount of debt being amassed," says Patrick Connolly at AWD Chase de Vere.
"Sooner or later the US authorities may have to realise that people have to pay tax if they want public services. And tax rises and spending cuts will eventually be required to pay off their debt."
Although the deal has seen a tax rise for the wealthy, the US has kicked the can down the road for other more pressing issues. "The tax rises are arguably only the small part of the equation," says Mike Turner, the head of global strategy at Aberdeen Asset Management. "The really tough decisions centre on government spending."
The US's debt levels are also sky-high, it ran up against its legal borrowing limit early last week, meaning the government could default on its bond repayments and other commitments if it doesn't address debt.
"Clearly the US political rumblings are far from over, with the Republican members of Congress already promising a bruising battle over the necessary increase to the debt ceiling and demanding a number of tax cuts," says Tom Becket, the chief investment officer at PSigma. "As we stand, the US runs out of headroom in late February, so the politicians will sadly need to rejoin battle very soon."
However, these wider economic problems do not necessarily dog the country's stockmarket or some of the world-class companies in the US, many sitting on huge cash piles.
"I have recently visited companies in Florida and Texas – states that between them account for one in six people in the US," says Terry Ewing, the head of US equities at Ignis. "They will be core drivers of US growth next year, which we envisage to be between 2 and 2.5 per cent, ahead of forecasts for the UK and Europe."
Mr Ewing says companies in the US are taking advantage of the incredibly low cost of debt and benefitting from the highest level of free cash flow in the country's history.
If you want to invest in some of the quality US companies, actively managed funds are one of the main options. "We like Henderson US Growth, JPM US Equity Income, and the AXA Framlington American Growth funds," says Mr Connolly.
But it is tough for managers to beat the US market so there is a strong case to invest in passive index trackers as well as, or instead of, active funds. Shaun Port, from online investment manager Nutmeg, recommends the HSBC S&P 500 exchange traded fund, with a charge of 0.09 per year. "Or you could use the iShares Small Cap 600 ETF – a diverse fund and more of a pure play on the US recovery – but it is for riskier investors," he says.
The US still has major economic issues to contend with, but there are top quality global companies that may shine in 2013.

Our stay at Casa da Valeska was amazing. The apartment is located literally on the beach, it takes 1 minute to get there crossing just one street. The room was small but nice, with an en suite bathroom and a ceiling fan. The apartment also comes with a kitchen and a drying rack. Also, there are several bars around the corner. All in all we really enjoyed staying there.

Poached Salmon
|Fresh salmon
|1 (Whole / Center Cut Piece)
|8 Pound
|1 Large, chopped
|2 , chopped
|Celery stalk
|1⁄2 , chopped
|Parsley sprigs
|Dill seed/Small bunch of fresh dill
|1 Teaspoon
|Bay leaf
|Whole cloves
|Coarse salt
|1 Tablespoon
|Whole peppercorns
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|1 Large, juiced
|White wine
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Leaf lettuce
|2 (For Garnish)
|Asparagus spears
|2 (For Garnish)
|Lemon slices
|2 (For Garnish)
|1 Tablespoon (For Garnish)
Wipe fish and place it in a poacher or saucepan large enough to hold it comfortably.
Add enough water to cover.
Remove fish.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the water.
Bring to the boil.
Reduce heat.
Simmer 20 minutes.
Add the salmon to the liquid.
For easy handling, wrap fish in a piece of rinsed cheesecloth large enough to come out over the sides or ends of the poacher.
This provides handles for removing the fish once it is cooked.
Bring the liquid back to the boil.
Boil 2 minutes exactly.
Remove from heat.
Cover with a tight-fitting lid.
Leave to cool completely in the cooking liquid (a large fish can take up to 5 hours).
Place on an oval serving platter.
If desired, remove the skin of the fish.
Surround the fish with curly leaf lettuce and asparagus, parsley, and lemon slices.
Serve with green mayonnaise.
It is important to leave enough time for this method of cooking.
Begin in the morning for an evening buffet.
Length of chilling time may be long, but the reliability and ease of the cooking more than compensate.

Jeffco Open Space announced this week it has completed an unprecedented land deal on 108 acres in Clear Creek County that drew the participation of several land management agencies and land trust organizations.
More than two dozen members of the Evergreen Pickleball Club were present at the Dec. 6 EPRD board meeting to ask for more indoor space for their sport.
Al Buenning, who spoke for the club members, thanked the board members for the outdoor pickleball facilities at Marshdale, which he said were "a godsend this summer." He said all the courts frequently were full at peak playing times.
The Evergreen Park and Recreation District board approved the district's 2017 budget on Dec. 6, which includes employee pay raises and several capital projects, thanks to a projected increase in revenue.
The district is seeing participation growth and demand in children's programs, gymnastics and Lake House rental, plus it plans to increase the price of recreation passes by 5 percent.
Former Conifer resident Sharon Thayer, whose book "The Myth of Santa's Beard" is now available in hardback, has revealed the source of inspiration for the holiday favorite: Flying J Ranch Park.
Thayer, now a resident of Texas, worked with children in a day-care center when she lived in Conifer. She wrote the book in 2001 and had it published in 2012 with illustrations by Marci Chambers, a former resident of the South Park area.
Pamela Rhoades sat at a table inside the cozy Java Groove, not looking out the windows but at them.
Each window was decorated with paintings of various winter scenes — a snowman, children ice-skating, a man ice-fishing, a snow-covered hillside.
This is Rhoades' handiwork, and she hopes the paintings portray wintry scenes the mountain area recognizes as its own.
Risen Lord Lutheran Church is snuggly tucked away in an office building along Conifer's Sutton Road near Dallman Drive. The interior is humble and unassuming — basic windows, modest furniture and kitchen utilities, and blue skies and white clouds decorating some panels in the ceiling.
Instead of a large altar, the church has a plain circular table around which worshippers gather for the sacraments.
In its own way, this worship space feels a bit like a home away from home.
And that's really the point, says Pastor Teri Hermsmeyer.
Several years ago our newspapers were in need of a new publisher, and the mother ship in Kentucky sent word that the leading candidate would be arriving from Florida on an upcoming Sunday afternoon. However, it was with little regret — and virtually no fear for my job — that I told my out-of-state bosses I would have to meet Tim Zeman at a much later hour.
The Jeffco Planning Commission recommended last Thursday night that land on the northwest corner of C-470 and Alameda Parkway near Dinosaur Ridge be rezoned for planned development, which could pave the way for car dealerships, a hotel and retail.
On a 5-2 vote that came after two nights of presentations and vociferous opposition, the commission largely cited fears over what the current zoning could permit as a reason for granting the approval.
If you ask LuAnn Pierce, she and husband Christian Brown — as well as 11 of their pets and special-needs rescue animals — owe their lives to one person: their 21-year old niece, Katie Tuten.
About two weeks ago, the cottage on Holmes Gulch Road in Bailey that Pierce and Brown called home for a year burned to the ground in an early-morning fire. Despite the efforts of 27 responders from the Elk Creek and Platte Canyon fire departments, the house was declared a total loss within an hour of the initial emergency call.

Cascadia Laptop Desk 6202 by BDI
designed by Matthew Weatherly
At A Glance:
With sleek, modern lines and the kind of material and craftsmanship quality we're used to seeing from BDI, the Cascadia 19" deep desk is one of their newest forays into an often-neglected area of the home office: those who don't have a dedicated office space but would love to have a small laptop table that they could use when needed. With its console table looks and shallow depth, the Cascadia 6202 Desk delivers.
What's To Like:
A great solution anywhere that space is limited, Cascadia is terrific for a home office. This versatile console/laptop desk can be used with the 24" deep desk to extend the work surface, but also as an attractive home for a laptop computer. The full-length storage drawer is handy for supply storage or for housing your laptop when not in use.
What's Not to Like:
If you're looking for a full-size desk, the Cascadia Desk 6202 may be too shallow for you at 19.25" deep. Try the larger 24" deep desk instead.
The Bottom Line:
The Cascadia Desk provides both a console table and laptop desk for small spaces, like apartments and studios, that require double-duty from each piece of furniture. It's the perfect way to get the most out of your space.
- Overall: 29.25" h x 47.75" w x 19.25" d
- Weight: 81 lbs

I'm celebrating number 61 today. No gifts please. But I do expect you to hum the Beatles "Today is your birthday" tune at least once today.
This is a picture of CNN reporter, Abbie Boudreau....
This is a picture of American moron, Jimmy O'Keefe.....
I don't watch CNN much anymore. The Candy Crowleys and the John Kings and the Wolf Blitzers have finally turned me off entirely.......so I have no knowledge of Abbie Bordreau. But Li'l Jimmy O'Keefe, ACORN killer, apparently does.
James O'Keefe, best known for hitting the community organizing group ACORN with an undercover video sting, hoped to get CNN Investigative Correspondent Abbie Boudreau onto a boat filled with sexually explicit props and then record the session, those documents show.
The plan apparently was thwarted after Boudreau was warned minutes before it was supposed to happen.
[O'Keefe associate Izzy] Santa told Boudreau that O'Keefe planned to "punk" her by getting on a boat where hidden cameras were set up. Boudreau said she would not get on the boat and asked Santa why O'Keefe wanted her there.
"Izzy told me that James was going to be dressed up and have strawberries and champagne on the boat, and he was going to hit on me the whole time," Boudreau said.
Ms. Boudreau explains how this all started....
For months, I had been working on a documentary about the young conservative movement. James had called me about concerns he had regarding an upcoming shoot. He asked me to meet him to talk about the shoot. I agreed to fly to Maryland and then drive to his "office" for a face-to-face conversation with him.
Ms. Boudreau was working on a documentary about the young conservative movement. But L'il Jimmy O'Keefe knew what CNN was really up to......
"My name is James, I work in video activism and journalism. I've been approached by CNN for an interview where I know what their angle is: they want to portray me and my friends as crazies, as non-journalists, as unprofessional and likely as homophobes, racists or bigots of some sort…"
Like Sister Sarah, and lately, "But I didn't join a coven" Christine O'Donnell.....L'il Jimmy knew what the "lamestream" media, as represented by CNN in this incident, was up to.
L'il Pimp Jimmy just knew that CNN's interest in documenting young conservatives as they produced a music video was only for the purpose of "portraying" him and his friends as "crazies." Because, you know, it's not that L'il Jim and his "pleasure palace boat", Bordreau-punking setup is a dead giveaway, or anything, that he is out of his effing mind....
Equipment needed
a. Video
1. hidden cams on the boat
2. tripod and overt recorder near the bed, an obvious sex tape machine
b. Props
1. condom jar
2. dildo
3. Music
a. Alicia keys
b. 80s romance songs, things that are typically James
c. avoid Marvin Gaye as too cliche
4. lube
5. ceiling mirror
6. posters and paintings of naked women
7. playboys and pornographic magazines
8. candles
9. Viagra and stamina pills
10. fuzzy handcuffs
11. blindfold
See any evidence in that list that might suggest L'il Jimmy might be off his effing rocker? Me either.
Keep in mind here that this is the same guy, dressed up oh-so- convincingly as a pimp, who handed Fox News-That-Isn't the ammunition they needed to blitzkreig ACORN. Now ACORN is no more.
Here is Jimmy in his full Serpico disguise discussing serious political stuff with three other stage props on Fox and Fiends...
What the heck was L'il Jim thinking when he set up the boat to embarass, or punk, CNN's Abbie Bordeau?
James was supposed to tape the following script before the meeting on the boat...
"Instead, I've decided to have a little fun. Instead of giving her a serious interview, I'm going to punk CNN. Abbie has been trying to seduce me to use me, in order to spin a lie about me. So, I'm going to seduce her, on camera, to use her for a video. This bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who comes on at five will get a taste of her own medicine, she'll get seduced on camera and you'll get to see the awkwardness and the aftermath."
"Please sit back and enjoy the show."
Li'l Jim......you have no idea how much I have been enjoying the show.
L'il Jim's latest young conservative foray into nationally-vital, dildo and lube propping.......has prompted The Reverend to review another national punking attempt. Another conservative-led punking attempt that, yes, also involves dildos and a plot to trick those not in the know.....

Sept. 1 Watchful Eye Consumer Alert: Beware of quack cures for Ebola
With news of the deadly Ebola virus outbreak making international news, offers of supposed cures also are spreading as opportunistic salesmen try to cash in on the public's fears, consumer advocates warn.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an alert earlier this month in response to consumer complaints, "about a variety of products claiming to either prevent the Ebola virus or treat the infection."
The FDA emphasizes: "There are currently no FDA-approved vaccines or drugs to prevent or treat Ebola. … There are no approved vaccines, drugs or investigational products specifically for purchase on the Internet."
The FDA, along with the Better Business Bureau, also warn consumers to be wary of any claims that a dietary supplement might help prevent or treat the virus.
"By law, dietary supplements cannot claim to prevent or cure disease," the FDA says.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Ebola doesn't actually pose a significant risk to the U.S. People in several West African nations have been affected including Nigeria and Liberia.
"But it's just when fear is high that unproven, fraudulent products appear," the BBB says. "FDA is monitoring for bogus products and false claims, and will take appropriate action if claims aren't corrected or removed. Consumers who have seen fraudulent products or false claims relating to Ebola can report them to FDA, and can also inform BBB."

No one is more aware of the perils of a jockey's profession than a jockey himself. And Dougie Costello, counting the days until his plum ride on Character Building in Saturday's Hennessy Gold Cup, is counting no chickens. "It's only Tuesday," he said yesterday. "In our terms, it's still a long time to go until the Hennessy, so right now I'm thinking more about Wetherby tomorrow. But fingers crossed I make it. To ride a horse like that in a race like that will just be such a pleasure."
Character Building, trained in John Quinn's mixed Malton yard, finished an excellent third in last year's Newbury feature, behind Denman and Dream Alliance. Disappointingly, he was unable to build on that promising effort; pulled back muscles ruled him out for the rest of the season.
But the grey's return to action at Towcester 20 days ago could hardly have gone better. Carrying top weight in a handicap hurdle, he blew the cobwebs away with a determined victory and he now shares second spot with Air Force One in an open market, behind uneasy favourite Big Buck's.
Duties at Newcastle meant Costello ceded Character Building to Denis O'Regan last year, and the previous season his best performance, second place in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham, came under amateur Derek O'Connor, but the Accordion gelding has long been one of his favourites. "When he first came to the yard as a youngster, and we were riding him in the ring and in the school, he showed enough for us to start saying this is our Cheltenham horse, this is our Hennessy horse," he said.
"He always looked a good one. He looks just what he's bred to be, a big, scopey chaser. He's 16.3 hands, but for a big horse he's very athletic, quick and sharp on his feet and fluent over a fence."
Character Building was accused of quirkiness after hanging under pressure at the Festival last year, when he was beaten less than a length by Butler's Cabin, but Costello will have none of that. "He was still a bit of a weak baby, and it was only his fifth chase, and four miles in soft ground is a long way," he said, "and he was up against a horse who won the Irish Grand National next time.
"As far as I'm concerned, he's a very straightforward ride. He travels, he jumps, he stays. What more could anyone want?"
Costello, 25, has been associated with Quinn for six years, punctuated by a spell with the Reveley family. He won the Swinton Hurdle on Leslingtaylor, has taken two editions of Wincanton's Grade Two Elite Hurdle on Crow Wood and King's Quay and, again on Leslingtaylor, took the notable scalp of Tidal Bay over fences at Doncaster in February. He has never won on the Quinn yard's versatile servant Blythe Knight, though, and now never will, for hurdles are now off the chestnut's agenda.
"We're only a small yard, but time and time again John has proved he can come up with the results, given the right horse," said the young Irishman. "Sure, a good showing in a race like the Hennessy would do my profile the world of good. But more than that it would be so great for all the staff at home. It's terrific when a long-term plan and hopes work out. he's got only 10st 6lb and I can tell you, after humping nearly 12 stone round Towcester, he'll think he's loose."
Quinn himself reports Character Building in sparkling fettle. "He's absolutely fine," he said. "I was very pleased with him on his comeback, and we haven't thought any further ahead than the Hennessy, his target all along. There's no Denman this time and although it's still very competitive he must have a sporting chance."
The horse for money yesterday was the only one below Charcter Building in the handicap, Island Flyer. The six-year-old, due to be ridden by O'Regan, lost his unbeaten status over fences when edged out by a nose by Cornish Sett at Wincanton earlier this month.
"He was so unlucky," said trainer Tom George, "but I was thrilled with him. The ground was softer than ideal that day and he did take a bit of a blow jumping the second last so I hope there is improvement to come from that. Mind you, there will need to be. There are some good horses in there and everything needs to go right."
At the other end of the handicap is Knowhere, who finished fifth at Newbury last year carrying 10lb less than Saturday's 11st 12lb. The 10-year-old started this season with a gallant defeat of Exotic Dancer at Aintree. "He's been in great form since," said trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies, "but the worry would have to be the weight on his back."

The Discussion
Comment removed at user's request.
Any public discussion of "same markup" by MS should start with an apology for their shirking the Web's open invitation to support this goal for the past decade. Instead they chose to use one of the few examples of incompatibility where IE's rendering looks better than any of the other 3 browsers. This rings completely hollow.

Ink Forest – The New Face of Screen Printing
Ink Forest is your choice for Green, Eco-Friendly and Environmentally Sustainable screen printing.
All designs are printed with water based inks.

You can rest assured that your shirts are not harmful to you or the environment.
With Ink Forest, you no longer have to wonder if the shirts you are ordering contain hazardous inks or chemicals! We use the most sustainable inks and greenest production methods possible. Ink Forest is an industry leader in water based screen printing.

When we can do it in a healthy and sustainable way, we know we are providing something valuable for our customers and our planet.

· Pay an honest and fair price, on par with traditional screen printing,
· Use a screen printer dedicated to using only 100% water based inks,

Another month, but I must carry on and hear my way through my pile of CDs. This week saw the return of a rather good band many thought was no more.
Doro: Fear No Evil
Doro Pesch has been a cornerstone of German heavy metal for 25 years, first with Warlock and for most of that time with her self-titled band. A new album is a celebration of all that is fun, a bit naff, and enjoyable about German heavy metal. She could be considered the female equivalent of the Scorpions with all that entails. Along the years she has released some good music and some dire (her cover of "Whiter Shade of Pale" is painful to these ears), but she consistently helped young German metal-heads through puberty. She is the German Lisa Dominique, Runaways, or Girlschool in a Rhinemaiden slightly terrifying to young men sort of way.
This album reminds a veteran of her 80s output both with and without Warlock. In fact as if to reminds us, the opening track is a corker called "Night of the Warlock." She is obviously proud of her history in metal with the final track a nod to her fans entitled "25 Years."
Some people refer to this sort of metal as "gumby" metal and po-po it. I think they can be snobs at times. Its fun heavy metal that is great to see live and proves that rockers can remain just as good even as they age. If you like your metal you could do far worse that enjoying a bit of Doro.
4Bitten: No More Sins
Yes, you read that right they are really called 4Bitten and clearly can't tell how lame their name sounds to anyone not willing to use "text" speech in normal writing. This is a Greek/American band that doesn't really work on so many levels, but is actually quite good and pump out solid hard rock grooves with aplomb.
The trouble is the leader singer does not really have the pipes to work with the tunes; it's pretty weak. When you try to hear the vocals the mix pretty much buries most of them so they all sound very samey. Another problem with the band is while they might have the chops to play, they don't really have any songs to speak of. All of it just blends into one big ball of hard rock mediocrity. I really wanted to like this band, honestly, but just can't find anything to get into here.
They are not bad per se but they need to write some songs. Excuses for the guys to play just don't cut it. I love to hear women doing heavy rock, but the songs on here are just not the right vehicle.
Nightvision: As the Lights Go Down
The opening section of the opening track stuck me as coming straight out of the Dio catalogue. I needn't be worried, I was just being a bit of an anal rocker reviewer who sometimes retains way too much knowledge for this own good. Hailing from Lincolnshire this lot play hard rock that mixes the attitude of Guns N' Rose and reminds you of great British bands of the 80s like the Almighty.
Not the slightest tinge of screamo metalcore on this lot's release. The bloke on the vocals, Dave Mckee, can actually freaking sing and revels in letting you know. These guys are young and talented with an attitude and an ability that belies their age and origins. I really enjoy this release and hope it does the band the justice it deserves in sales. Oh and it gets better with every spin.
There is not one duff track anywhere to be found on here. It's a joy to listen to start to finish. Lets just say, that while a bit heavier, you'd be hard pressed to find a better debut since the freaking awesome The Answer (whose new CD I have). Let's hope that British music press and public takes these guys to their bosom in order to make them the next great Brtish heavy rock export.
Clearly a strong contender for "Best New Band" in the Classic Rock awards.
Oh and you just know they kick some serious butt live.
Stratovarius: Polaris
Yes, you read that right, Stratovarius is back with a new album of original material. Despite their legal and money problems that drove guitarist Timo Tolki to leave, they have mustered their forces and risen again like a phoenix. Tolki now has Revolution Renaissance and has given the rest of Stratovarius his blessing to carry on without him. It's a bit like the Helloween saga that produced so many other great bands.
One the basis of this album it possible to argue that the band has taken the changes, hardships, and troubles well. This is a strong album of Scandinavian power metal that works rather nicely and fits well into the genre. Their new label and lease on life have produced quite a good slab of technical metal. They retain all their elements, whether it's the ludicrously clever playing, the sing-along choruses and, of course, the occasional key change. Just check out "Higher We Go" for some of that catchy as stink melodic metal goodness.
If you like Scandi progressive-tinged power metal you can do far worse that seek out this release. We can report that their demise was overstated and they have returned to thrill you once more.
Absu: Absu
I am leaving Absu for absolutely last because it's a band that is really tough to review. They don't really fall into any "normal" categories, besides being vaguely "extreme" metal. They are something extraordinary that will either fill you with dread or excitement when you hear of a release. Its been eight years since their last and this has been eagerly awaited by their rabid fans.
Just in case you wondered how much of a big deal is to have this lot of Texas nutters release something, they managed to rope in members of such heavyweights as Kind Diamond, Mayhem, Melechesh, Firstborn and the mighty Enthroned to come along to help out.
This is dark, deep, occult metal with nods to Celtic, Summerian, and other traditional mythologies. Think of this lot as the extreme metal ZZ Top and you might be somewhere in understanding their reputation. Why haven't I bothered to mention the songs? Well this is not exactly a band that you need to worry about them. You will either like or loath this slab of intense molten metal.
If you a fan, get it, naturally. If you like your metal extreme and never checked this lot out then it's time you gave 'em a try. Absu is absolutely not for the meek.
Well, that is your lot for this week; enough for you to sink your ears into. As always have a safe and rocking week.Powered by Sidelines

Former Bills GM Bill Polian says Chad Kelly is most talented QB in 2017 NFL Draft [1:55 AM]
Syracuse Post Standard reports: '"The psychological testing is really, really important," Polian said on ESPN's Mike and Mike this week. "The background goes without saying. By the way, the most talented quarterback in the draft is probably Chad Kelly, but he has a ton of baggage," Polian said. "So you get that out of the way immediately."'
Staying or Going? Bills FB Jerome Felton [1:54 AM]
WKBW-TV reports: 'It's an interesting situation because, on top of being a solid blocking fullback, Felton's great relationship with McCoy must be considered. Soon to turn 31, the Bills likely wouldn't need to break the bank to bring back Felton and help out the running game. They should look to bring him back for 2017, all the while searching for the later part of the draft and in undrafted free agency for a more athletic type to battle Felton in the summer, and eventually take over as the lead at the position.
President Trump's new communications director is a Bills season ticket holder [1:53 AM]
WKBW-TV reports: 'Michael Dubke, the founder of conservative public relations group Crossroads Media, is also on the advisory board of the Buffalo Bills fan alliance and describes himself as a Buffalo Bills season ticket holder.'
PSE announces executive leadership promotions [1:52 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'Pegula Sports and Entertainment announced today the promotions of Bruce Popko and Erica Muhleman within PSE's executive management team. Popko has been elevated to Chief Operating Officer, while Muhleman has been promoted to the role of Executive Vice President of Business Development.'
What to watch for in AFC East this offseason [1:51 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'While it's widely expected that the Patriots will franchise LB Dont'a Hightower, what to do with TE Martellus Bennett is a bit more complicated. There's incentive to sign Bennett long term knowing Rob Gronkowski's injury history, but a big contract could complicate the team's standing with Gronk, who will make just $4.25M in 2017. A short term agreement is more likely.'
Bills Today: Is safety a realistic scenario for Bills at 10? [1:50 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'There's little question that safety is a need position for Buffalo knowing the depth players at that position are all free agents (Robert Blanton, Jonathan Meeks). The Bills did re-sign Colt Anderson, but he's largely on the roster to lead the special teams unit.'
Ramon Humber re-signed by Bills [1:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'With Humber re-signing, the Bills have 22 pending unrestricted free agents. Earlier this offseason, the team re-signed safety Colt Anderson, another player who is primarily a contributor on special teams.'
NFL.com suggests LeSean McCoy could be a 'surprise' cap casualty [1:58 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"McCoy is a very awkward fit in new coordinator Rick Dennison's one-cut running attack. The Bills could decide to risk letting McCoy go a year too early rather than hold on to him a year too long," Rosenthal writes. "If the team designates McCoy a post-June 1 cut, they get $6.25 million in cap room and -- more importantly -- save $6 million in cash to spend elsewhere.'
Dolphins set to release former Bills DE Mario Williams [1:57 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Williams' release saved the Dolphins $8.5 million against the salary cap and came as part of a series of cost-cutting moves that also included the release of left tackle Branden Albert, defensive tackle Earl Mitchell and cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, according to the Herald. All told, the releases will save Miami $19.7 million in cap space.'
Buffalo Bills re-sign linebacker and special teamer Ramon Humber [1:56 AM]
Syracuse Post Standard reports: 'Humber led the Bills in both special teams tackles and snaps in 2016. He didn't have a huge role on defense, but his contributions on special teams made him worth retaining.'
Not-So-Super Mario: Dolphins release former Buffalo Bills DE Mario Williams [1:55 AM]
Syracuse Post Standard reports: 'Releasing Williams saves Miami $8.5 million.'
In or out? Upcoming Buffalo Bills free agents on defense [1:54 AM]
Batavia Daily News reports: 'Bryant is one of the most underappreciated players on the roster. When Marcell Dareus or Kyle Williams weren't available, the defense rarely missed a beat thanks to Bryant. In 2016, Bryant was limited to eight games because of a shoulder injury.'
Friday Feels: 5 thoughts on the Buffalo Bills [1:53 AM]
Batavia Daily News reports: 'Bridge option: Nick Foles?'
Buffalo Bills reach deal to re-sign linebacker Ramon Humber [1:52 AM]
AP reports: 'Humber had a team-high 12 special teams tackles in 16 games, and also started one game on defense.
Bills agree to terms with LB Humber [1:51 AM]
The Sports Xchange reports: 'Humber was scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent on March 9.'
Bills re-sign LB Humber [1:50 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'Since he played for vet minimum last year the only way he could re-sign before UFA begins is to sign same deal again. So it must be that.'
Bills UFAs - Defensive Backs [1:49 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'I agree with the approach of making Gilmore an offer of the value the team believes he's worth and leaving it at that. If he finds more elsewhere, so be it.'
Bills agree to terms with LB Ramon Humber [1:48 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'Humber, a 5-11, 232-pound North Dakota State product, re-joins the Bills after spending the 2016 season with the team and tying for the team lead with 12 special teams tackles. Humber originally entered the NFL in 2009 as an undrafted free agent with the Indianapolis Colts.'
Bills Today: The Life of Thurman on stage [1:47 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'The production company has spent time interviewing Thomas to put together a comprehensive script for the performance. Titled 'The Life of Thurman Thomas,' the show will run for two nights on June 2nd and 3rd at the Road Less Traveled theater at 500 Pearl Street in Buffalo.'
Franchise tag window opens, Bills have call to make on Stephon Gilmore [1:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The deadline this year for any players who receive the franchise tag to sign a long-term contract extension is July 15. If the two signs can't come to an agreement before then, a player's only option is to play out the year on the tag. A player can sign his franchise tender before July 15, and the two sides can still work a long-term extension. This happened last year with the Bills and left tackle Cordy Glenn.
Jay Skurski's 3 Bills thoughts: Salary cap mismanagement, Shady's shade, Lorenzo Alexander [1:58 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Blame for the Bills' cap situation falls directly on Jim Overdorf, the team's senior vice president of football administration. Overdorf has given out some downright goofy contracts, including an ill-advised extension for defensive tackle Marcell Dareus worth potentially $100 million that is an anchor on the Bills' cap. Left tackle Cordy Glenn is also scheduled to have a cap hit of more than $14 million in 2017. Glenn is paid like an elite left tackle, but has never made a Pro Bowl and missed the end of 2016 with a back injury, which is bad news for an offensive lineman.'
Bucky Gleason's Power Take: Bills' decision on Taylor depends on their objective [1:57 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'If making the playoffs is the objective after a 17-year drought, they should keep Taylor as the immediate solution. If they want a Super Bowl, they should cut ties with him. Taylor is somewhere between a starting NFL quarterback and a franchise QB.'
NFL's Gregg Rosenthal believes Buffalo Bills could release RB LeSean McCoy [1:56 AM]
Syracuse Post Standard reports: '"The Bills have a number of high-priced players who may no longer work with the new coaching staff. Tight end Charles Clay is paid like a superstar for role-player production, although his contract makes him difficult to cut. Defensive end Jerry Hughes and defensive tackle Kyle Williams are also questionable fits with new coach Sean McDermott. GM Doug Whaley may be loath to blow this team up because of the dead money involved, but there's a case to be made to start clearing the decks."'
2017 NFL Mock Draft: Why Mel Kiper Jr. picked Deshaun Watson for Buffalo Bills [1:55 AM]
Syracuse Post Standard reports: '"This is obviously based on the idea that Tyrod Taylor would be playing somewhere else. We'll be able to say that definitively, one way or the other, in March. If there's a big question here, it's whether Watson is any more ready to start in year one than a quarterback who's currently on the roster. I think the Bills will go a different direction if they're able to bring in a veteran QB in March."'
