7 Song Ripoffs That Were Pretty Awesome Regardless
They say that "talent borrows and genius steals" right? Well I'm not quite sure about that but I will say this. Many people have taken an idea and expanded on it to make it their own. It's the nature of the beast. I mean Burger King exists doesn't it? You don't think there was some McDonald's thinking going on there?
Someone may write a great article containing five points but another person might add five making it ten points and the ten points article is better. However, it's a fine line what is blatantly stealing and what is original. Same goes for the music industry.
In these cases it seems there's some pretty obvious ripping going on but even so, all the songs below kick ass.
After the jump you'll see the comparisons. The first song is embedded first followed by the blatant copy after…..
Dani California was Ripped from Last Dance with Mary Jane
Let's face it Red hot Chili Peppers, if you didn't rip this song from Tom Petty then how in the hell do you explain the fact that it sounds exactly the same? I mean is there any evidence to the contrary? I don't think it's possible. Regardless, they're both great songs. Petty never intended to sue the Peppers and said "a lot of rock songs sound alike.
U Can't Touch This was ripped from Super Freak
We all know about this one and to this day do any of us really care? Both songs seriously kick ass.
Chicago 25 or 6 to 4 ripped from Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
Which oddly enough was ripped from a much older song by Joan Baez. It was recorded by Joan Baez (credited as "traditional") and released on her 1962 album Joan Baez in Concert, Part 1. Then of course Chicago decided to use the exact same track as well.
Surfin USA was Ripped from Sweet Little Sixteen
The Beach Boys first hit single Surfin' USA, reaching the Top 10 in the US, Canada, Australia and Sweden is blatantly ripped from Chuck Better. In 1963, the band made no attempt to credit Chuck Berry for any aspect of the song and Brian Wilson was listed as the sole composer. Chuck Berry confronted the group and Murry Wilson gave him the copyrighted rights for writing Surfin' USA. This is a right that Chuck Berry still holds today and deserves it.
Given to Fly was Ripped from Going to California
It's kind of hard to pick up on these two without hearing them both. Then you kind of realize it. I happen to love both Pearl Jam and Led Zeppelin bands so who the hell cares. But amazingly enough Given to Fly very much follows the same melodic structure as Going to California. Just listen.
Ice Ice Baby was ripped from Under Pressure
Something about the song is catchy, and it is partly due to the fact that the hook samples the bassline of Under Pressure by David Bowie and Freddie Mercury. Vanilla wrote his own lyrics, but used one of the most famous beats in the world for his song. Bowie and Queen got paid in the end.
Ghostbusters was Ripped from I Want a New Drug
In 1984, movie producers approached Huey Lewis and asked him to develop the musical theme for the film, Ghostbusters. Huey declined the offer because he was working on the soundtrack for the movie Back to the Future. The project was turned over to Ray Parker Jr who then completely ripped off Huey. Parker was sued by Huey and the matter was settled out of court.
Even More Uncoachable Stuff

You need to know to distinguish what was stolen, from what is versed

We are showing you the Global version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Muse, OK
The radio announces a tornado watch and flood warning is in effect as we're driving for Muse, a small town (population 30) deep in rural southeastern Oklahoma. The sky is filled with lightening and intermittent rain, heavy at times. The lightening flashes last for five, six, seven seconds at a time and light-up with electric pink, red and purple strobes the wide open countryside. Tall, green hills rolling for miles into the distance come to us in bright cinematic pops. On the far side of Muse we take a left into Billy Creek, a mile or so after the road turns to dirt and mud, and we get stuck. We load out, push, get un-stuck and drive through a stream. Tomorrow's photographer, Brian Vernor, having hiked down from the cabin where he arrived earlier, is suddenly in the lights of our van. He's crouched low and photographing our ridiculous ascent.
The cabin, every surface covered in natural wood and animal paraphernalia, is sportsman chic. A recent copy of The Varmint Hunter is left open on a sofa table in the cozy living area. In the back is a massive screened back porch with room to sleep us all comfortably, a 'sleeping porch'. Chris, our host, and his friend Jason, cook steaks, corn and potatoes while we drink wheat beer and watch Boyz-N-The Hood.
We wake up to Chris making pancakes and omelets for a pre-ride meal.The ride is gorgeous. The chip seal, rural roads are empty and lined with small farms, random dogs and trees. On the far side of Mena, half of which is literally destroyed from a recent class 3 Tornado, we climb up Talemina Drive and into the hills. Socked-in with fog and rain, the ride is stunning. The climbs are steep and the road here is lined with low grass, rocks and foggy viewpoints. On top of Rich Mountain we eat lunch at the Queen Wilhelmina Lodge. Cole and several others opt for several visits to the buffet. The nearby miniature golf course is closed due to rain. We are three hours in and it hasn't stopped raining once and now it's pouring. The rain is driving so hard that we cut our 120-mile ride down to 80. Don't get us wrong, our new Stowaway jackets are perfectly fine for an off-on rain, but for sustained exposure to water cannons. We return to the cabin for 2 hours of clay pigeon target practice and more wheat beer instead.

I died and time travelled!
Oh, seriously. R&B. Harmonies. Soul Anthems.
It's thee The Temptations.
I flipped out. Honestly, I appreciate music, especially back then, but I'm not a music junkie. But The Temptations, on a 12" vinyl record, oh let me tell you music just isn't like this anymore.
Horns, trumpets, harmonies. I love The Temptations, so to hear them the way they were heard back in the day, the feeling, it felt like I died and time travelled.
The crackling of the horns, in combination with the vocals, uhhhh you just become engulfed.
If you wanna time travel, just listen to The Temptations on vinyl.
Become engulfed.
Classics, the way they were meant to be heard.
Flippin' thru records. Hours just spent.
If you know me. You'll know I have a passion for old time classics 50s to 80s music.
Listening to songs the way they were back in the day, is just so rich. The sound its so, real.
Paul McCartney, Elton John and Barry White.
Random records, but wanted to note that these were my first 12" vinyls.
If you get the opportunity to listen to any of these records, listen to those raspy vocals offset with those guitar strings.
You feel those vibrations.
Experience it.
Vinyl. Feelin' the music. Seriously.
Was out touring the Toronto Annex with one of my boys for my early birthday, and we stumbled upon sonic boom! I've heard so much about vinyls lately,
and damn is it an experience.
7" spinning Freeway to Love by Aretha Franklin
There's just that something enriching on vinyl.
Shh don't let security know! I'm studying for my midterm in this classroom. When did they get such cool chairs, super comfy too! & I realised this is the last first midterm I'll study for, where will I be next year? Anyways can you guess which building and room I'm in?!
What up Blue Mountain you really kicked my behind! First but DEFINITELY not the last time Snow boarding !
I Love Canada Winters!
Who's up for another winter wonderland getaway? Reading week?

A poll conducted on behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce reveals that small business owners are much more pessimistic about the economy than the average voter.
Seventy-eight percent of the 1,000 small business owners surveyed said the economy will either remain stagnant or worsen over the next year. According to an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, only 64 percent of adult voters feel the same way.
"This poll reveals that there is a lot of fear among business owners in this current economic climate," said U.S. Chamber executive vice president Lisa Rickard.
The survey also revealed that lawsuits are a major concern. Seventyeight percent of respondents said that if Congress passes laws allowing trial lawyers to bring more lawsuits, it will have a negative economic impact on businesses. And 92 percent said the poor economy has made it more difficult for their company to absorb the additional costs, time and other components connected with a lawsuit.
But perhaps most worrisome is that the survey also revealed that 32 percent of the business owners polled say they are not confident in the future of their own company.

Yes, the orchiectomy is usually outpatient surgery. I went in early in the morning and was home before lunch time.
Hey im kind of expecting the news of TC soon and was wondering on the day of this surgery.. can you leave on the day of having the operation?
Im thinking how if it had the operation at like 9am, i could just go home in the night. What you guys think?
How did it go with you all?

Good to hear that. I just hate staying overnight in hospitals. Those damn places.
So how did you feel atter the I/O when you got home? I mean anything you can tell me to expect in terms of the after effects.
Ive never gone through under the knife in my life ... so im im just a bit anxious.
I think it is possible because my surgery was at 11am and I was already walking at 19pm the same day.. I had to stay there for unknown reasons to me.. I guess they were just checking my temperature and other simple stuff. I got out the next morning (around 9am).
The surgery is no big deal really, I only had some problems laughing and coughing and I remember I was putting too much pressure on the cut because I was trying to avoid any movements there and that's totally wrong but bleh, it was my first real thing to do with hospitals and I was scared to death. In 3 days I was almost 100% back to normal so I guess it will be the same with you, hopefully.
Hope this helps,
Three things: rest, ice, and meds.
I laid down, kept my legs elevated, and used a pack of frozen peas wrapped in a towel to put on the site. Once you feel like walking, do it as much as possible.
Wait a few days before testing your "equipment".
Oh, and don't eat the peas. However, they can be refrozen and used as an ice pack again and again.

The only thing I would say is that you will be under general anaesthetic for the op and if you have never had this before then it's possible that you may have a reaction.Originally Posted by Jason
I'd never had to go to a hospital before as a patient and certainly never had an anaesthetic - i'd also hoped to go home the same day but it turned out i had to wait till 2pm for my op. I was back to my bed by 4pm and wandered over to the toilet (unaided) by about 7pm so could conceivably have gone home.
I'm glad i didn't as at about 1am i developed a fever which later turned out to be a reaction to the anaesthetic (as it was my first time) although it could have been an infection.
They put me on a drip and gave me some pills and i was fine about 4 hours later....
So if i were you and you do get diagnosed (let's hope not eh?), be prepared for an overnight. In the end I actually quite liked my stay - there was a really good sense of camaraderie amongst the four of us in my mini ward...
Good luck
If your operation is done in the morning you should be able to go home the same day. However, why push it? I know being home in your own bed is nice but the staff at the hospital specializes in taking care of the sick.
Son Jason diagnosed 4/30/04, stage III. Right I/O 4/30/04. Graduated College 5/13/04. 4XEP 6/7/04 - 8/13/04. Full open RPLND 10/13/04. All Clear since.
Treated by Dr. Rakowski of Midland Park, NJ. Visited Sloan Kettering for protocol advice. RPLND done at Sloan Kettering.
My first orchiectomy, I was scheduled to head home around, 4 p.m. (the surgery was at 11 a.m.), but I was shivering when I awoke and it took awhile for the meds to wear off. They ended up letting me sleep and sent me home around 9 p.m.
The second time, I felt much better immediately and was sent home early in the afternoon. It helped knowing what to expect the second time, not that I recommend that to anyone.

I am assuming that you are talking about the radical orchiectomy (removal of one testicle) and NOT the RPLND (may be done weeks after the radical orchiectomy depending on the stage of your cancer.)Originally Posted by Jason
It was my first surgery also and I went home that day. The others on this thread have given some good advice. I'll add a few things:
-Make sure to get your meds BEFORE THE SURGERY so that you will have them when you come home.
-You will NOT be able to drive home. Bring someone who can take you home.
-You're going to be in a little pain. Make sure your doctor prescribes some good meds (like Vicodin or Norco). Sorry, but the Over the Counter stuff (ibuprofen,acetaminophen,naproxen) is not going to work.
-Use a good natural laxitive for the first week. There are two reasons for that. First, you don't want to be pushing when you go #2. Also, the Vicodin/Norco usually causes constipation. Ask your doc, but something like Milk Of Magnesium should do.
Yes, the idea of someone going in an taking out your testicle sounds painful, but the surgery is not that bad. I hope you understand how the surgery is done. They do NOT go through the scrotum. They make a horizontal incision about 4-5" just below your belt line. Through your scrotum would REALLY HURT.

My husband's I/O surgery started at 5 pm, and we were home by about 10 pm.
My first I/O in 1988 was an overnight stay, just because that was the common practice at the time. For my second I/O in 2003, I went in at noon and was home by 6pm. You will probably be somewhat out of it the rest of the day as the anesthetic takes a while to completely wear off. I actually had more pain the second day, so the pain meds are a necessity. Also swelling and bruising of the scrotum and possibly the penis are not unusual and are generally nothing to worry about. But if any symptoms seem extreme, its best to call the doctor, or sometimes the hospital will give you a contact number on the discharge papers. Also I wouldn't plan on driving until the stitches (staples) are out.
Best of luck,
Right I/O 4/22/1988
Left I/O 9/17/2003
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will; to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Had my orch at 8:40AM, and was home brfore noon. Had no reaction to the general either.
Discovered 8/4/05, Diagnosed 8/26/05, I/O 8/29/05.
100% Seminoma, some vascular invasion.
Radiation began 09/20/05, last day 10/14/05.
I had my orchiectomy at 7am...and began at 7am sharp...was waking up at 8:05am and they had me walking out at 8:35am...
Surgery was actually fine...felt just like falling to sleep, fast..and waking up was fine too...just woke up and took a bit of time to come around...not at all like I recall surgery being like 10 years ago with dizziness, nasea etc..the nurse told me ahead of time that now surgery is much more pleasant (if I can say that) as compared to even 5 years ago, due to new meds...
of course you'll need someone to drive you...
- lump first noticed 11/20/2005

I had my left IO at about 2 in the afternoon. I was an anesthetic risk due to respiratory complications, so I had a spinal (epidural) instead. I was awake during the whole thing (albeit highly sedated). About the only complicating factor for me was that I wasn't allowed to go home until I was able to walk around and urinate (under my own control) again... I was able to stand wobbly around 8pm, and walk around unaided by 10pm. I was discharged around 1am.
My scrotum wasn't all that sore really, just the site of the incision was. I'd strongly advise getting your percocet script filled before the surgery, so you have it ready to go when you get home. The first day, I took the percocet religiously every 4 hours, and the pain was pretty manageable... Just gotta take it easy and use LOTS of ice. The swelling at the incision site is pretty normal, and it will go away with time (mine took a little over a month, but I was pain-free within 10 days)

Emblemata Amatoria.: 75 Odes to Love
Camerarius, G. Venice, P.P. Tozzi, (1627). Oblong 24mo. 19th-century red morocco, spine ribbed and gilt, with gilt triple fillet borders on sides
First and only edition of a very beautiful emblembook, inspired on the love-emblems by Crispyn de Passe, from his "Tronus Cupidinis" and his "Fons Amoris". In his foreword the author explains that he wants the Italians also to enjoy the beautiful love-emblems from the books of Heinsius and Otto Vaenius, but the poems, he assures his readers, are all by his own hand. The first emblem is an armorial one on the family of Dominico Molina, his maecenas, to whom Camerarius also dedicated the book. The last four emblems are on the death-tombs of the King of France, the Bishop of Ferrara, a friend, and his father. So there are 75 love-emblems, all beautifully designed and engraved, with accompanying verse on the opposite page. The colophon on recto of last blank leaf reads: "Venetiis, 1627. Ex Typographia Sarcinea." An Italian translation was made by Allessandro Adimari, but was only published some centuries later, in 1898.

On May 31, 2012, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issued a third report on social media cases reviewed by the agency (http://www.nlrb.gov/news/acting-general-counsel-releases-report-employer-social-media-policies (click on Operations Management Memo)). The report focuses exclusively on employers' policies governing the use of social media by employees. The Guidance discussed seven cases involving employers' social media policies. Notably, in six of the seven cases, the NLRB found some or all of the provisions in the policies to be overbroad and lawful.
The NLRB set forth a two step inquiry with respect to its evaluation of social media policies. First, as has always been the case, a policy will be unlawful if it explicitly restricts an employee's Section 7 rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Section 7 of the NLRA provides that employees have the "right to form or join a union and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection." If a policy does not explicitly restrict an employee's Section 7 rights, the following questions will be asked: (1) would employees reasonably construe the language to prohibit such rights?; (2) was the rule promulgated in response to union activity?; or (3) has the rule previously been applied to restrict Section 7 rights?
Specifically, the NLRB found some of the following provisions to be unlawful:
1. "Don't release confidential guest, team member or company information";
2. "Never share confidential info with team member unless they have a need to know to do their job";
3. Threatening employees with discharge for failing to report unauthorized access to or misuse of confidential information will be found to be unlawful;
4. "Do not reveal non-public company info on any public site," which included personal information of another employee";
5. A provision prohibiting employees from using employer's logo and trademarks is unlawful. Although the NLRB recognizes that an employer has proprietary interest in its trademarks, an employee's non-commercial use of trademarks while engaging in Section 7 activities would not infringe on that interest;
6. "Offensive, demeaning, abusive or inappropriate remarks are as out of place online as they are offline";
7. "Think carefully before friending co-workers";
8. Encouraging employees to resolve their concerns by speaking with supervisors is unlawful. However, a "reasonable suggestion" that employees do this is acceptable, but stating "should use internal resources" would preclude employees from using alternative forums, such as the NLRB;
9. Any provision that requires employees to report any "unsolicited or inappropriate electronic communications" is overly broad; and
10. Although employer has right to control the release of certain information to the media, an overbroad statement that employees are not required to release any information to the media is unlawful.
Despite all of the bad news set forth above, the NLRB did publish a copy of an employer's social media policy which it found to be lawful in its entirety. Although this template should not be used "word for word," employers should use this document as a basis to draft, or revise, their social media policy. An employer's policy should be drafted based on the nature of its specific business and not simply be a "rehash" of the NLRB-accepted policy.
Based on the NLRB's Guidance, it is extremely important that you review your social media policy now. Please contact Barley Snyder if you require assistance in reviewing your policy.

MINI Clubvan Concept to premiere at Geneva Motor Show
Posted on February 20, 2012 by Editor
MINI plans to reveal the MINI Clubvan Concept, the first premium model in the small car-based van segment at the Geneva Motor Show 2012. The MINI Clubvan Concept sees history repeating itself replicating ideas introduced by the Morris Mini Van and the Morris Mini Traveller. Limiting the car to two seats, maximum amount of interior space on the smallest possible footprint. The side walls, floor and roof lining of the load area in the Concept are trimmed in high-quality anthracite-coloured cloth. The Clubvan Concept has two front, two side-hinged rear doors and the rear-hinged Clubdoor. Owners the option of loading items from the side of the car as well as the rear. Space on board the concept car can be customised to suit the needs of the customerfor example, tools and goods can be stored neatly and securely in made-to-measure drawers or shelving units. 12-volt plug sockets in the load compartment also provide additional practicality. The MINI Clubvan Concept shares the same exterior dimensions as the MINI Clubman. The MINI Clubvan Concept is finished in British Racing Green paintwork. The rear doors feature heavily tinted glass making it difficult to see into the load compartment. The company featured on the MINI Clubvan Concept shown at Geneva 'Hugh Buckingham Signwriter' is a UK company, based in Southport which creates similar vehicle graphics for its customers.

Cast & Credits
Merida Kelly MacdonaldFergus Billy Connolly Elinor Emma Thompson Dingwall Robbie Coltrane Macintosh Craig Ferguson MacGuffin Kevin McKidd The Witch Julie Walters Pixar/Disney present a film directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman. Written by Andrews, Chapman, Steve Purcell and Irene Mecchi. Running time: 100 minutes. Rated PG (for some scary action and rude humor). |
"Brave" is the latest animated film from Pixar, and therefore becomes the film the parents of the world will be dragged to by their kids. The good news is that the kids will probably love it, and the bad news is that parents will be disappointed if they're hoping for another Pixar groundbreaker. Unlike such brightly original films as "Toy Story," "Finding Nemo," "WALL-E" and "Up," this one finds Pixar poaching on traditional territory of Disney, its corporate partner. We get a spunky princess; her mum, the queen; her dad, the gruff king, an old witch who lives in the woods, and so on.
The princess is Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald), seen in an action-packed prologue as a flame-haired Scottish tomboy whose life is changed by an early birthday gift of a bow, which quickly inspires her to become the best archer in the kingdom. Then we flash forward to Merida as a young lady of marriageable age, who is startled by request from Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson) to choose among three possible husbands chosen by her clan.
Nothing doing, especially since all three candidates are doofuses. Merida leaps upon her trusty steed and flees into the forest, where her friends the will-o-the-wisps lead her to the cottage of a gnarled old witch (Julie Walters). She begs for a magic spell that will change Queen Elinor's mind, but it changes more than that: It turns Elinor into a bear. Witches never know how to stop when they're ahead.
Luckily, the magic spell comes with an escape clause. Merida has exactly two days to reverse the charm. After she and her mother absorb what has happened, they begin to work together and grow closer than ever, even though the queen cannot speak. There is a tricky complication. King Fergus (Billy Connolly) had his leg bitten off by a bear (in the prologue), and has been indisposed toward them ever since. Unsurprisingly, when he sees his wife as a bear, he fails to recognize her.
And so on. This is a great-looking movie, much enlivened by the inspiration of giving Merida three small brothers, little redheaded triplets. The Scottish Highlands are thrillingly painted in astonishing detail, and some action shows Merida's archery more than equal in assorted emergencies.
"Brave" has an uplifting message about improving communication between mothers and daughters, although transforming your mom into a bear is a rather extreme first step. Elinor is a good sport, under the circumstances. But Merida is far from being a typical fairy-tale princess. Having flatly rejected the three suitors proposed by her family, she is apparently prepared to go through life quite happily without a husband, and we can imagine her in later years, a weathered and indomitable Amazon queen, sort of a Boudica for the Scots. "Brave" seems at a loss to deal with her as a girl and makes her a sort of honorary boy.

Vintage Cupcake
(view larger)
Price: $15.00 Inspired by the vintage cupcake toppers and the candle holders from the 50's and 60's, this set makes the perfect birthday card. We have even added a Bride & Groom for a wedding themed card. This set works for so many celebrations, you will return to use it again and again. There is a space at the top of the cupcake to insert your bride & groom, cherry, or clown face. We have also included a small stamp to complete the top of the cupcake when using any of the "stemmed" stamps (like the ballerina, bird or pennants). See the sample below on how the scalloped trim stamp is used to complete the look of a card. The solid scalloped piece allows for easy fill of alternating colors. Measurement: This set is on a 4x6" sheet. The cupcake is 2-1/4" tall without the added decoration. The Happy Birthday pennant is 1-3/8" tall. The scalloped trim is 3-3/4" long. |

Great way to match the perfect foundation shade! Review by Carol
Rating The title says it all.. very reasonably priced (Amanda is really generous with the amount of product you get in the sample), great way to try a range of shades of foundation before buying. (Posted on 3/15/13)
try them Review by abi
Rating The samples are worth buying to check out the product. They great for things like foundation. The only things they not suitable are for firming type products which need continuous use to see results. (Posted on 11/26/11)
my skin felt too dry Review by Michelle
Rating I have combination skin, and I have a difficult time finding a moisturizer that makes my skin feel soft and moisturized without making the oily bits of my skin more oily. Both the avocado/cranberry and the lavendar moisturizers smelled great and went on easily with no greasy feeling. However, I found that I had to use quite a bit and that my skin felt dry even with the moisturizers.
REPLY from Amanda: Hi Michelle, thank you for sending in your very useful feedback. Combination skin is always more difficult, but we do have a solution for your problem! Just use the Paul Penders Ceramide Recovery Lipo on the dry bits before applying the moisturiser and I am absolutely certain that the dryness will disappear! (Posted on 10/11/11) -
Buy 2 samples of a given product to test properly Review by Kathryn
Rating I agree. It is worth getting some skincare samples to get a real feel of the product. I would recommend buying 2 of the same product to test properly. (Posted on 7/27/11)
Lovely smelling and effective Review by Luiza
Rating Great way to try products before committing to buy larger quantities. (Posted on 8/20/10)
Brilliant. Review by Angel
Rating Great and economical way to try before you buy. There's enough for you to use the product for a while so that you can really see how it works for you, too. (Posted on 6/16/10)

Saturday, March 9th, we were greeted with a warm and sunny day for our trip to Squam Lakes Natural Science Center and the Loon Preservation Center.
At the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, SCA Manchester was given an interpretive tour of their animal trail. We got to see raptors, bobcats, mountain lions, owls, foxes and more.
It was really exciting to get to see these native New Hampshire wildlife up close and personal. Our interpretive guide was very informative and answered all of the corps members many questions with ease. We finished off our trip to the Squam Nature Science Center by learning about the beaver they have their and watching him nibble on sweet potatoes and carrots.
After leaving the Squam Nature Science Center, we hopped into the vans and drove to the Loon Center in Moultonboro. At the Loon Center, we broke up into two groups and got down to work. Half of us worked together to move a footbridge that had washed away during Hurricane Sandy. The other half of us headed out on the trails at the Loon Center and brushed back some of the trees and shrubs that had grown into the trail.
Overall we had a beautiful and productive day. We all got a chance to become more familiar with the animals living around us and finally get to work doing some hands on conservation work!
There may still be snow on the ground, but it's always a good time for a trip to the beach. On Saturday, March 2, our Manchester CLC group celebrated spring a little early, dedicating a day of service work to the New Hampshire seacoast. Though the forecast called for rain and snow, it turned out to be a beautiful and sunny day, adding to the good vibes generated by the work being done.
We spend the morning helping the Blue Ocean Society do a cleanup of Jenness Beach. Working in groups, we scoured the sand in search of plastic bags, bottle caps, netting, and much more. Corps members also got to learn about the effects that marine debris have on aquatic ecosystems and organisms. In only about an hour and a half, we contributed to collecting 118 pounds of trash!
After scarfing down our lunches, everyone headed over to Odiorne State Park to assist the Seacoast Science Center in moving some rocks. Well, actually it was A LOT of rocks – and little ones, too. This didn't deter the students, however, and they used shovels, rakes, or their hands to clear about 750 square feet of debris left over by winter storms.
After the work, Science Center naturalists gave us a tour of the exhibits and animals inside, including an in-depth look at octopi.
All that time in the sun left us pretty tired by the end of the afternoon, but there were still quite a few smiles to be seen on the drive home. Here's to spring!
Saturday, February 16th, ten Manchester high school students braved the early morning snow to come out to Bear Brook State Park for a day of hiking and environmental education.
We started out the morning with some fun games that ended with our first safety stretch circle of the 2013 season.
Caleb Savage and Emily Barry, two of our interpreter interns at Bear Brook, took us all on a wonderful morning hike, during which we learned a little bit about the history of Spruce Pond camp and the landscape.
After taking a break for lunch and filling up on food and warm drinks, we headed back out for an afternoon hike led by Steven Gang and Nicole Juppe, two more of our interpreter interns. On this hike, we all got to explore Bear Brook a little further and learn how to identify trees in the area and appreciate the sights and sounds of Bear Brook.
We finished off the day with a nice campfire. Everyone had a chance to roast some marshmallows and drink some hot chocolate. Saturday was full of laughs and fun games and we are really excited about the upcoming season.
To kick off the SCA Manchester CLC's 2013 season, we hosted our Returning Member Get-Together on Thursday, February 7th. This was a gathering just for corps members who have participated in SCA Manchester in previous years, and it served multiple purposes. Not only was it a chance for returning members to reunite, it also gave us, the new group of Manchester CLC Leaders, the opportunity to learn from some of the program's seasoned veterans.
We started strong by playing a game of This is How I Move, in which we got to see some of the best dance moves this side of the Merrimack! After we got our sillies out, we took some time to reflect on past years and discuss hopes and expectations for the 2013 season. Not surprisingly, it seems that our returning members are hiking enthusiasts. But even more than hiking, they like to work hard – looks like we have a great year ahead. We look forward to meeting the new members who will join this group and take part in some exciting conservation service work this year!
SCA Manchester will be having an information session for all new interested members!
Time: 7:00 -8:00 PM
Date: February 5th
Venue: Salavation Army in Downtown Manchester. 121 Cedar Street.
Who's Invited: Parents, family, friends.

Comments about Prime Time Smile Dual-Action Teeth Whitening System:
So far it seems to be working - no sensitivity to teeth but did get an upset stomach from using it twice a day so cut it back to once per day. Teeth seem whiter - trying to lighten around the gum line but results are not as great there,

(Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Piano, Harmonica)A life-long, second-generation Beatles fan, Steve taught himself guitar at 10 listening to Beatles records and by 13 was fronting a Top 40 cover band in his native Philadelphia. At 17 he joined Beatlemania and further developed his musicianship, touring the world with the show. After 'passing the audition' with the existing RAIN band members in 1998, his career was set. On one of his travels to England, he found himself at Liverpool's Casbah Club, owned by pre-Ringo Beatles drummer Pete Best. Encouraged to get on stage, Steve belted out lead vocals to The Beatles rocker "Slow Down," while Best sat in on drums. As a backup musician, Steve has performed alongside legendary sixties artists Peter Noone (Herman's Hermits), Joey Molland (Badfinger), Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, and Tiny Tim. As an actor, he appeared in the films "Wedding Bell Blues," "For Which He Stands" and Tim Burton's "Mars Attacks!" Steve writes and records his own original music. www.steve-landes.com
(Vocals, Bass, Piano, Guitar) Joey grew up in a Brooklyn household where classical music and opera formed the soundtrack. A natural musician, he was infatuated with The Beatles, taught himself guitar at age 10 and played piano by ear at 16. After winning multiple McCartney sound-alike contests, Joey toured with the Broadway production of Beatlemania. He joined RAIN shortly after, and helped transform the band into the multi-media production it is today. In addition, he is an active singer/songwriter and studio musician. His original Christmas song "Wishing You A Very Merry Christmas" is featured on Broadway's Carols for A Cure Volume 12 (to benefit BC/EFA) as well as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation "Hope for the Holidays" charity album. When Universal Pictures needed a McCartney sound, they contacted Joey to record the song "Love Take Me Down" for the recently released comedy "Role Models." For Joey, performing on Broadway is a dream come true.
(Vocals, Lead Guitar) Joe Bithorn grew up in Manhattan and Long Island where he was exposed to a variety of music including jazz, Latin, classical and more. By age 3, his musical father taught the children how to sing harmony. He was profoundly influenced by the experiences he had at Carnegie Hall through his Mom who worked with the Festival Casals. Thanks to The Beatles appearance on Ed Sullivan, Joe took a strong interest in the guitar. Early influences include the band Cream and Joe developed the ability to learn guitar parts by ear by age 14. By age 16, Joe was so proficient that he was recruited for studio sessions. While in high school, Joe and his brother formed The Bithorn Brothers Band, performing the early music of the Allman Brothers Band. Joe heard about an audition for Beatlemania, and was hired for the touring production as George. After touring with the show in North America, Joe joined RAIN in 1983 and has been touring the world ever since.
(Drums, Percussion, Vocals)Ralph Castelli, was born and raised in southern California, surrounded by a musically talented family, and by age six became passionate about playing drums. On that momentous night in February, 1964 when The Beatles first appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show, Ralph was hypnotized and knew playing drums was what he was born to do. Captivated by Ringo Starr and The Beatles that night, Ralph's excitement continued to grow and his dream would eventually become his reality. After touring and performing with numerous bands and pursuing his acting career, Ralph landed the role of Ringo Starr in the touring production of Beatlemania and was also cast as Ringo in "Beatlemania: The Movie." His talent, drum techniques, humor, style and appearance was in his favor. Ralph joined RAIN in 1986 and is thrilled to be on Broadway.
(Vocals, Lead Guitar, Guitar Synth, Sitar) A native New Yorker, Tom made his stage debut as George Harrison in the original Broadway production of Beatlemania, and also appeared in Dick Clark's Rock "N" Roll! The First 5000 Years, portraying John Lennon, Paul Simon, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jerry Lee Lewis and more. His film credits include the role of George in Beatlemania The Movie and Peggy Sue Got Married; performed with Joe Jackson, Sophie B Hawkins, Marshall Crenshaw; collaborated with Alice Cooper, Tommy James, The Monkees, Desmond Child. Tom released a solo album 'Tales Of Glamour And Distress' (A&M Records) and can be heard on as lead vocalist on the recent TV theme for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. www.tomteeley.com
(Keyboard, Percussion)grew up in Kentucky. He fell in love with Beatles music as a young kid, but didn't fall onto a piano bench until high school, when he broke his leg. Just two years later, he was invited to Kentucky's prestigious Governor's School for the Arts Program. In 2008, Chris received a bachelor of music from Belmont University in Nashville, and in 2010 earned his master of music from the University of Louisville. Chris and his wife, Nicki, live in Nashville. www.mockingbirdmusicians.com
(Drums, percussion, vocals) was born in Kansas City and raised in Texas. Through his parents' records he discovered Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Buddy Holly but was profoundly moved by one, The Beatles "Ticket to Ride." Doug has drummed for 16 years in Dallas' top Beatles tribute A Hard Night's Day. He has many memories pounding those "pagan skins" in Las Vegas, Liverpool, in London recording videos with VH-1 in Abbey Road Studio 2, and backing Tony Sheridan in Hamburg's Kaiserkeller. Musicians back home say Doug has always naturally had that signature Ringo style, even as a 12 year old learning the trap set.
(Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Piano, Harmonica) is from Chicago, IL and began singing and playing the music of his favorite band, The Beatles, at the age of 12. He performed in local Chicago Beatle bands and learned the harmonica to master some of his early Beatle favorites. Years later Jim visited Liverpool for Beatle Week and made several appearances at the Cavern Club. He naturally captures the look and sound of Lennon and transforms himself through all eras of The Beatles as well as recreating John's famous humor and onstage antics.
(Founder, Manager, Original Keyboardist) As the managerial and creative mind that transformed Rain from a 1970s southern California bar band doing Beatles covers into an ultra-professional group, Mark Lewis recruited the excellent musicians who would gel into Rain's long-standing line-up. He traces his love of the Fab Four to the Sunday night of February 9, 1964 when his generation was smitten by The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. Originally called Reign, the band gained national fame, changed its name to Rain and cut the soundtrack to the made-for-TV movie Birth of the Beatles (thanks to Dick Clark). An accomplished pianist at 13, having studied since age 5, he began his career playing the Farfisa organ in teenage rock bands around his native Los Angeles. It was Mark, the original keyboard player with Rain, who worked out all of the musical parts and sounds that enabled Rain to bring many songs that The Beatles themselves never performed live, to life.
(Vocals, Lead Guitar, Guitar Synth) was born in Miami, Florida into a Cuban family surrounded by rhythmic music. Seeing The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show inspired him to become a guitarist. He played "George" in Beatlemania in Los Angeles, Chicago and world tour; joined "1964 the Tribute" performing at Carnegie Hall; created his solo show "An Evening With George;" performed with "Beatlemania Now" and has recorded three CDs of his own original music. Jimmy is thrilled to be part of RAIN and playing with his buddies from the Beatlemania days. www.jimmypou.com
(Vocals, Bass, Piano, Guitar) hails from Cleveland, Ohio. He started playing the drums as a teen, but found a Hofner bass and had to have it. Relocating to Southern California, he played in several original and cover bands, eventually touring worldwide. Mac is naturally right-handed, but taught himself to play left-handed. He also plays the piano and guitar. When the chance came to join RAIN, Mac immersed himself in the role and looks forward to recreating the magic of The Beatles at every show.
(Keyboards, Percussion) began piano lessons at age 8; at 12 was given special acceptance into a local University music school where he was privately trained in piano and music theory. At 14, he began experimenting with electronic keyboards and synthesizers of the 1970s, and played professionally in a progressive rock band. As keyboard technology advanced, Mark became known for his uncanny reproductions of elaborate sound textures, exotic instruments, and simulating full orchestras.
was born in the exotic coastal town of Viña del Mar, Chile. He currently resides in Toronto, Canada.Self-taught in voice, guitar, piano and bass he has evolved over the years into a versatile and mature multi – instrumentalist. In 2002 while performing locally he caught the attention of a Beatles tribute act that was in need of a Paul McCartney. The next 5 years would see Garcia honing in and becoming a professional entertainer as he would gradually grow into his mentor's character."I have learned so much about playing Sir Paul, that my musical abilities have gone to places I could never have imagined" says Garcia. "It's those moments like getting the phone call to perform in and be a part of RAIN: The Beatles Experience that I respect my line of work and the gift that I have been given. "I am constantly evolving as a person and as a performer. To eventually tackle the complex musical genius of McCartney in RAIN came as an inevitable challenge." Garcia proudly states.
Chris McBurney grew up in Madison WI and was seduced by the Beatles at a very early age. Inside that plain and simple white album cover lay something so mysterious, music so deeply profound and magical to a pair of young ears, that it set Chris on a musical journey for life. Now living in New York City, Chris' musicianship has taken him all over the world, playing professionally in several different rock bands. One of his most memorable touring highlights was playing drums at the Beatles old stomping ground, The Cavern Club, in Liverpool. His drumming has been heard on National TV shows and commercials. Chris also earned his MFA from The American Conservatory Theater and has acted in productions Off-Broadway and in several regional theaters across the country.

deelyte's HTML Profile
deelyte is 44 years old, is located in Texas / USA and has been a SingSnap member since July 13, 2008. Currently, she has a total of 64 public recordings.
Hi!! Welcome to my world. Feel free to browse this intro page...and sign my guestbook up at the top, please! :) My pics are up there too, just kick your shoes off and make yourself at home! I love to laugh, cut up and have fun! I am very smart and I am also very stupid. lol I am as likely to create the problem, as I am to solve it! :P
ABOUT ME: My husband ( Elusive ) and I recently started (about 5 months ago) going to a karaoke bar here in town and getting up and singing. It was fun and we've turned into total karaoke freaks. Ha! My husband is a great guy! You'd be hard pressed to find a better overall human being. He's been my rainbow after years of storms! A true rainbow! The kind that says, "Things will never be this bad again" and they haven't! His family has joined us on here and we've all been having a blast! My father-in-law Elvee , my mother-in-law LindaMarie , and my sister-in-law and her family Cntsfam (on my sister-in-law's page you can find the SS names of her husband and kids!) =) I have three beautiful kids, but only one brave enough to join me on here, my baby Beba09 . I have a daughter Ashley, married to an airforce guy and living with him and her two children in Okinawa! Man, do I miss them. I have a son, Austin, who's almost as big a mess as I am! lol You can see all thier pics down yonder at the bottom in my photo thingee!
I was blessed in this life with two brothers, but no sisters! I always wanted one, but I've had to just make me some sisters out of a few precious friends. :) My older bro (by 13 months), Larry Wayne, died several years ago and there's not a day, and rarely an hour that passes, that I don't think of him. We were like twins and best friends. What a scar he left. I've been limping along every since. He had a voice like you just can't imagine! Beautiful and he sang harmony like honey! He was a crazy person and I've yet to meet a person more fun-loving and uplifting. Jimbuhu's pretty close, though!
My younger brother is shy and quiet, and just the most loyal person in the world. He's an oak and if you ever need a solid, steady person to depend on, he's your guy! He's been in service to his family and his country for years and will be leaving for Iraq! I am crushed about this, and welcome any prayers said on his behalf! He's definitely my HERO!
I'm a native Texan. My family is my world! Love meeting new people, and I love the people I've met on this site, so far. Lots of great people on here who've brightened my days!
I love to sing and I've been singing every since I was a little girl, but not where anyone could hear. Sang with my brother all my life and made several recordings for our mother, but other than that, I've never publically sang...it's taken some getting used to, that's for sure. I sing at work as I do my thing, I sing in the grocery store as I shop, I sing in the car, shower and while doing household chores, but when I stop and think about someone actually hearing it, I nearly panic. It's a weird thing I know, but once you get to know me better, it will seem like the least weird thing about me! lol
I love to laugh! I love to dance! I love to write! I write songs, poems, stories, articles, books, and just about anything you can think of. This just about gives you the big picture of me.
I recently tried my hand at writing parodies of songs, both that I've performed and also ones others have sung. You can find some of them at these links.
My parodies so far:
You Ain't Country Enuf To Drive My Van (You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man)
Stalkin' After Midnight (Walkin' After Midnight)
Puttin' On The **** (Puttin' On The Ritz *note this is slightly off-color in case you're easily offended)
I'm An Old Man (Soul Man) Performed by PeteRose
Honey, Please Don't Snore (Honey, Open That Door) Co-wrote With Bill and Bill sang it. :)
My Open Duets, thus far!
Baby (You've Got What It Takes-Brook Benton & Dinah Washington
Reunited-Peaches & Herb
Have You Ever Been Lonely
On My Knees-Janie Fricke & Charlie Rich
As Soon As I Hang Up The Phone- Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty
Picture-Kid Rock & Sheryl Crow
Mockingbird-Krystal & Toby Keith
Leather and Lace-Stevie Nicks & Don Henley
Does He Love You- Reba McIntyre & Linda Evans (Linda part lookin' for a Reba)

LAGUNA MADRE - Corpus Christi Coast Guard rescued two brothers after their boat ran aground late Saturday night. They found the two just north of Green Island in lower Laguna Madre.
The Coast Guard said the 18-year-old man and 6-year-old child were going fishing when their boat stalled shortly after leaving the boat ramp. They called the coast guard around 5 o'clock but the Coast Guard had trouble finding them because the man's cell phone died.
Eventually the crew located the two from a helicopter and reunited them with their father. The ordeal lasted over five hours; the Coast Guard said if the two had safety equipment like flares or a radio they would have been much easier to spot.

As a relatively young fan who (at least I believe) has a decent historical knowledge of the franchise, players, etc., I often find myself wondering about certain things that aren't reflected in the stat sheet, things that may have happened a while ago and have sort of been lost in time, with no real record. A few questions that my raise some decent debate and/or discussion:
(1) After Super Bowl XXII, and coming into the 1988 season, was Doug Williams publicly annointed the starting quarterback over Jay Schroeder? I seem to remember Schroeder being on the team up to at least training camp. What was the story?
(2) Charlie Brown was an up and coming superstar in the 1982-1983 seasons. Looks like he may have been injured in 1984, then was traded or released. Why did the team give up on him, and what did we receive in return?
(3) When George Rogers was brought in before the 1985 season, how did Riggins react, knowing that Rogers was going to be his replacement?
(4) When Dexter Manley was banned from the league, what was the general fan/local media reaction? When he returned to the league, why didn't the Redskins take him back? Too much history?
(5) When Theismann broke his leg in 1985, did the fanbase /local media/team expect that he would eventually return, or was the injury immediately deemed to be career ending?
The purpose of this thread is to discuss similar topics, and to tap into some of the knowledge possessed by the "older" members of the board.

Are there any shared hosts that support PostgreSQL and Ruby on Rails? Dreamhost, my current host, doesn't. Or maybe a VPS host. I kinda have a limited budget so prefer shared for now. asked Mar 03 '10 at 11:42 katz Randell ♦♦ Care to share what is your budget?
(Mar 04 '10 at 03:56)
Dexter T.
I'm paying around $150 per year for Dreamhost. Anything that exceeds $100 per year for a simple experimental project seems a lot for me. I'm just playing.
(Mar 04 '10 at 10:28)
Hey All. Just want to say that I moved all of my sites to BurstNet VPS. Enjoying a lot of disk space and memory. Significantly cheaper compared to Linode and Slicehost. I have tried all of those options in the past. Another good option which is not shared hosting is the free Amazon ECS instance. Or heroku. I still use and prefer BurstNet VPS. answered Jan 16 '11 at 20:26 katz |
Try fivebean, I got the link from StackOverflow and it's probably the cheapest VPS I've seen (6 USD/mo for their lowest plan of 5GB space/100 GB bandwidth a month). I haven't tried any of their services though but it's a probably worth the shot given the entry level price. answered Mar 03 '10 at 12:30 paul_sns Fivebean (VPS) is probably the cheapest one around.
(Mar 03 '10 at 16:24)
Randell ♦♦
Best VPS I've found so far is ramhost. It's cheap and doesn't go down like fsckvps.com! I'm using the standard plan burstable to 768mb ram at 11.99/mo. answered Apr 06 '10 at 15:37 Ramon Interesting... their bonus plan is almost like the standard plan for fivebean. I like fivebean so far.
(Apr 06 '10 at 21:18)
looks like ramhost is suffering the same symptom as my dev vps host, delimiter, and that's always being sold out :D
(Apr 12 '10 at 03:03)
ahh... never experienced any issues so far with fivebean/linode.
(Apr 13 '10 at 22:46)
But I might try ramhost next month. I am curious whether the lag is caused by Rails3 or my setup or just the webhost.
(Apr 13 '10 at 22:52)
WebFaction offers shared hosting that supports PostgreSQL and Rails. Their plans start at $5.50/month, which is good enough for relatively small apps. answered Aug 04 '10 at 11:32 Randell ♦♦ I'm using BurstNet VPS - about 3 months now...
(Aug 06 '10 at 07:08)
You can post that as an answer, too. =)
(Aug 06 '10 at 07:46)
Randell ♦♦
webfaction is what you want. They are amazing and support everything you might imagine, mysql, postgresql, latest versions of python, ruby, etc. answered Mar 14 '11 at 07:07 lakinwecker In fact, NullPointer.ph is hosted by WebFaction. :)

BOULDER, Colorado—With all of the tornadic activity that has occurred in recent weeks through the Midwest, and as we approach the one-year anniversary of the devastating tornado that hit Tuscaloosa, Alabama, it is difficult to look at the positive business impact these damaging, life-altering events can have.
However, the unfortunate reality is these types of unforeseen disasters typically have a positive impact on the local and regional hotel markets. This is unlike hurricanes, which often can impact large regions days prior and can have even longer-lasting effects.
Looking back on the hotel performance in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa during the months subsequent to the tornadoes that ripped through the area 27 April 2011, it is easy to discern there was a significant uptick in demand and occupancy immediately following the incident. The demand is derived from numerous sources, including media outlets covering the disaster, aid workers, insurance professionals, Federal Emergency Management Agency officials, displaced residents and families visiting to help loved ones.
As demonstrated in the chart below—which shows year-over-year change in daily occupancy for Birmingham from 27 April 2011 through 31 July 2011—the induced demand lasted for approximately five weeks. For the first three weeks, occupancy was an astounding 40% higher than the previous year. However, this level of increase also includes the underlying growth in the market from the economic recovery.
When looking at average rate, it was refreshing to note hoteliers did not appear to gouge customers during this time period by ramping up room rates. For the most part, room rate growth maintained a consistent pace.
Nevertheless, the increase in roomnight demand had a significant positive impact on overall room revenue for the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa markets.
To estimate the level of impact, we interpolated the "normal" room revenue growth that most likely would have occurred during the five-week period and subtracted the resulting room revenue from the actual room revenue achieved during the period.
The chart below shows the calculated room revenue assuming normal growth that would have occurred year-over-year during the five-week period as well as the room revenue impact that resulted from the induced demand.
Based on this analysis, Birmingham's hotel market received a $10-million room revenue boost from the disaster during the five-week period. Using the same methodology, the tornado had a $1-million room revenue impact on room revenue in Tuscaloosa's hotel market as well.
