Who needs the real thing when you can see the Antarctic Monkeys, Oashish or Crowded Scouse at your local for a fraction of the price? Jim White pays tribute to the tribute bands
It is a hot evening in Nuneaton. And as the band cranks out the first bars of 'I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor' at The Nag's Head, things are getting very warm indeed. Out on the dance floor it is looking not so much good, as alarming.
In the middle of a steaming crowd, a couple of dozen burly young men are hurling themselves around in time to the music, sending glasses, bottles and the occasional teenage girl flying. At one point the scrum spills into the band itself, knocking over microphones and cymbals. As the song finishes, the pub landlord takes to the stage and appeals for calm.
'It's a great set by a great band, lads, but let's chill out a bit, eh?' It is, in short, what you might expect from a live performance featuring the music of Britain's most explosive rock outfit. Except the musicians on stage are not the Arctic Monkeys, Sheffield's internet phenomenon. They are the Antarctic Monkeys, four blokes from Wolverhampton giving a brilliant musical impression of the real thing.
'We have a band of our own called Ryde,' says the Antarctics' Ian Fletcher. 'But we couldn't get gigs. And when we did, they always said: ''Do you do covers?'' We were sitting around thinking about how we could get out there and play, and someone said: ''Why don't we do a Monkeys tribute?'' We all love their music, so we did.'
After two weeks' close study of the Monkeys' debut album - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not - Fletcher and his friends had perfected the sound to the point where only the most highly trained ears could spot the difference. 'Venues like us to play for an hour,' he says. 'But the album only lasts 43 minutes, so we play a couple of songs twice.'
And it goes down a storm. All round The Nag's Head, Arctics fans, some so young they are accompanied by their parents, sing along to every word.
'That's the thing about tributes,' says the landlord Julian Harkins, whose stage echoes to soundalikes every night of the week. 'In the audience, there's no holding back waiting to see what happens. These are die-hard fans. From the first bar to the last, they're really into it.'
The spread of the pop faker is by no means restricted to Nuneaton, however. Check out the live music listings of any local paper and you will find them clogged with groups like Alike Cooper, No Way Sis and Cheap Purple. All offer not just splendid nomenclature (one of my favourites is a Blondie tribute called Once More Into The Bleach), but pitch-perfect facsimiles of the genuine article.
Such is the growth of the musical copycat business there is even an annual festival, called Glastonbudget, held in a field in Leicestershire. Here you can watch an ersatz Freddie Mercury, Marc Bolan and Jimi Hendrix twang away for not much more than the cost of a couple of pints. Not a bad deal, given that you'll never have a chance to see the originals.
In a Radio 4 documentary, Send in the Clones, to be broadcast later this month, the journalist and DJ Andrew Collins traces tribute bands to a failed Beatles musical in the late 1970s. Out of the ashes emerged the Bootleg Beatles, who have now made a 25-year career out of impersonating the Fab Four.
'I saw Paul McCartney at Glastonbury,' Collins tells me, 'and he had us in the palm of his hand, until he insisted on playing his new material. You could see the audience shrinking before your very eyes. They just wanted the old stuff. That's what you get with the Bootlegs: the stuff you wanted, uncluttered by the rubbish new material. If you like, a tribute band edits the back catalogue for you.
'It's like time travel. It's a snapshot of the band as they were at their peak. You can walk into the back room of a pub and see someone pretending to be the Rolling Stones as they were in the 1960s. Go along to the genuine Stones when they tour this summer and you'll see the real thing in their sixties. It's a big difference.'
There are tribute bands catering for every generation, from Bill Haley to The Smiths, from David Bowie to Take That. In a sense, even the Antarctic Monkeys are hailing back to a lost time, the days when the Monkeys themselves emerged in a pub in Sheffield, rather than playing domes in America. It may have been only a year or two ago, but it is still a time that will never come again.
'I saw the Arctic Monkeys recently at a barn of a place in Bournemouth,' says Collins, 'and there was a sense you were already losing something, that intimacy, that feeling of being in at the start of something. Seeing the Antarctics play gives you a bit of that back.'
Naturally, there are those who are not so keen on the idea. Mary Anne Hobbs, the Radio 1 DJ, says that watching a tribute band is 'like having sex with a blow-up doll'.
Collins begs to differ. 'There's an old rock journo's idea of authenticity which can veer towards snobbery,' he says.
'The thing about tribute bands is they take the snobbery out of it. These are cabaret acts. Anyway, pop has been eating itself for years. The charts are full of recycled material. Oasis invited the Bootleg Beatles to support them on a tour a few years back. You could say that was one Beatles tribute band supporting another.'
Indeed, such is the surreal spin of the genre, the world's most successful tribute band is no longer a singular item. Bjorn Again, the Australian Abba-apers, have five or six versions of themselves touring the globe at any one time. They have become a franchise.
So what do the originals think about it all? The Bootleg Beatles played at the 50th birthday party of Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, and among the guests was George Harrison. The real Beatle was introduced to his doppelgangers after the show and was very complimentary - though he did ask if there was a Bootleg Brian Epstein lurking somewhere in the background, as 'he would have pinched all the money'.
Some originals have found it very useful. When the Stone Roses split up, their singer Ian Brown fulfilled the contractual obligations of a nationwide tour by hiring the musicians from his tribute band The Cloned Roses: no one else could have mastered the music at short notice.
Even if they don't like being cloned, there is nothing artists can do about it. They can no more put a stop to a tribute band than Tony Blair can prevent Rory Bremner doing an impression of him. And Steve Elson - aka Nick Dagger of the Counterfeit Stones - has that on the highest authority: his tribute band entertained a convention of lawyers on an American aircraft carrier with what they call their 'rock and roll pantomime'.
'It turns out they were there to discuss developments in copyright protection,' says Elson. 'And there they were, boogying the night away to the Counterfeit Stones.'
The original acts can also benefit financially from the deal. By keeping the music alive, the tribute band can revive album sales for the original artist. Three per cent of any tribute act's box office goes to the Performing Right Society, which then hands it over to the originals. Steve Elson, of the Counterfeit Stones, jokes that every time he plays, he is helping to fund Mick Jagger's alimony.
Meanwhile, in Nuneaton, another triumphant gig for the Antarctic Monkeys comes to a close. 'You can get close to them, they play really well and they're about 40 quid cheaper than seeing the real thing,' said one sweating fan emerging from the mosh pit. 'What's not to like?'
The four players themselves are on an adrenaline high. Yet even that is somehow fake: the cheers are not for them; this is applause by proxy. 'Sometimes I wish people recognised us for what we are, rather than who we are pretending to be,' says Ian Fletcher.
'The thing is, I've seen the Artic Monkeys live, and I'd say we are a little bit tighter and more professional than they are.'
A tribute tour in seven legs
Living the Dream In 1993, singer Rob Halford left Judas Priest and was replaced by Tim 'Ripper' Owens from their tribute band British Steel. He was the band's main man for two albums, Jugulator and Demolition, during which time the tribute act had to find a new singer to pay tribute to the tribute.
Biggest stage Also in 1993, Nirvana played their final British concert at the Reading Festival. Kurt Cobain insisted that the promoters include in the line-up his favourite group, the Abba-alikes Bjorn Again. The tributeers duly played 'Dancing Queen' to 50,000 Nirvana fans, with Kurt swaying in the wings.
One of America's most popular tribute bands is MiniKISS, a KISS tribute band made up of four dwarfs. Their rivals, TinyKISS, are comprised of three dwarfs and a 25-stone woman.
Most copied: Elvis There are more Elvis impersonators than for any other singer. Although, according to Julian Harkins, of The Nags Head in Nuneaton, the majority of these are little more than karaoke acts.
How do you spell that? Bands booked by The Nag's Head include: Alike Cooper, AC/D-She (an all-woman tribute), By Jovi, Crowded Scouse, the Red Hot Silli Feckers and Barry Whide.
John or George? Confusingly, the part of John Lennon in the Bootleg Beatles has been played for the past 25 years by Neil Harrison.
A tribute too far? Some bands have done their best to push the envelope on the term 'tribute'. For years, Dread Zeppelin played reggae versions of Led Zep classics, while in America there's an all-woman U2 tribute called Exit and an all-male Madonna group called Mandonna.

It's Dineout, and I just couldn't let it end until I've been to at least one French restaurant. After all, it was arguably the French cuisine that started fine dining. Le Gavroche had always been on my to-do list, as I had always wanted to try some of their classic French dishes on the menu. Now that it made it to the Vancouver Dineout list, I booted up OpenTable, called in a friend, cued the music, and got to work. How as the food though? Was the food a Bon, or Non?
Bad pics alert. Namely the newbie yellowish tint. I used my alt camera, and I got the settings all wrong. It was also a dark restaurant, and I don't want to use flash to disturb other patrons. Unfortunate, but that's all we have.
Le Gavroche is a long standing French restaurant located in a quiet area of downtown, just on the outskirts of the downtown core on Alberni. It's been in Vancouver for well over thirty years – and it showed. The restaurant is actually a Victorian style house converted to a restaurant. One could've easily missed the dated sign and mistook it for a residential house (or one of those shady looking gift shops). Once inside, the space was tight, and the interior was divided into different dining space. It had a classical, rustic feel, and not a clean, modern looking restaurant like what you may be use to.
Once my friend and I got settled, I requested a regular menu because I do want to try some of their regular starters, or hors d'oeuvres. In addition to the Dineout menu, we ordered the Phyllo Wrapped Escargots and Range Fed Beef Tartar, prepared table side, two very classic French dishes.
The Escargots came first. To be honest, it's not what I was expecting. It was in a pastry form with the escargots inside, resting on top of a small pool of cream. The pastry was flaky, which caused some disfiguration to the dish when I tried to cut it. The texture was not unlike mussels, and together with the cream sauce, the taste and the texture blended well into a mesh of creamy goodness. It was good, and I didn't mind having more of it.
The other starter was the one I looked forward toward the most for the night, the range fed beef tartar. It got a little mention on the 101 Best Things to Eat and Drink in Vancouver on Vancouver Magazine, so that's another reason for the hype. It was also classically prepared table side, so we got a little show before we got to taste it. It was quite awkward because it was Dineout night and the space was too tight, so I can see that the server tried to hurry the preparation. The server quickly mixed the ingredients together, and the raw meat mixture was served. I thought the spice (from the Tabasco sauce) was a bit overwhelming, so I couldn't really taste the beef. My friend, nonetheless, loved it. It also came with pomme frites, which we also loved, because it was cooked well and we could really taste the potatoes.
Our starter for the original Dineout menu arrived. We both got the Scallop, Prawn Terrine. I don't know how to describe this, but it tasted like those seafood fish balls you could get from a Chinese hot pot place. It was salty and I could not taste either the scallop or the prawns, and I didn't think it was prepared fresh. I thought the previous two starters set the standard for the food for this restaurant, but the terrine sure was a setback.
By this time, we were already full with the starters. Next up was our entree, the Orange and Cinnamon Braised Short Ribs, Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Haricot verts, Espresso Demi Sauce. It was good, but it didn't blow me away. The meat was well seasoned, but could've been more tender, especially if it had been braised.
For desserts, I had the Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee, another French classic and also my favorite.
My friend had the other dessert available, which was Lemon Tiramisu. I didn't get the taste it though.
I really wanted to like this restaurant, because while the other more popular restaurants in Vancouver tried to push the boundaries on putting a new, modern twist on their dishes, Le Gavroche seemed to be stuck in a time wrap and serves up some very classic French dishes – that deserved some respect. Their Dineout menu didn't blow me away at all, which was a shame. However, I do like their two starters that I ordered off the regular menu, and those two dishes showed potential. Would I come back, on a non-Dineout, less busy day to try out their entrees? Probably.

There should be no doubt that genetically modified foods should be appropriately labeled. As consumers, we have the right to know if the product has been altered in any way. This would allow us to make at choice concerning the purchase as well as our own decisions on the possible effects of our health.
Nearly everything we eat is genetically modified. The seeds that old hunter gatherers grew back in the day were genetically modified. Also there is no proof that gmo are any worse than organic food. Unhealthy food is going to be unhealthy regardless, and same with healthy. Putting it on the label is just going to put people who are not so well informed about gmos from buying it.
The vast majority of foods have been modified in some way. Both plants and animals have been bred to behave differently, which in itself is a form of genetic modification. If something like this were to be implemented, there would have to be different levels of labeling and lines would have to be drawn somewhere. Many people who do not know the history of even "organic" foods would simply be put into a panic.
I do not think that genetically modified foods need to have a label placed upon them unless the store has that as a general policy. For example, Piggly Wiggly labels food as 'heart healthy' or 'sugar aware' and things of that nature. For those stores, sure but I do not think that it needs to be mandated.

A set of random variables F is said to be a Gibbs random field (GRF) on with respect to if and only if its configurations obey a Gibbs distribution. A Gibbs distribution takes the following form
is a normalizing constant called the partition function, T is a constant called the temperature which shall be assumed to be 1 unless otherwise stated, and is the energy function. The energy
is a sum of clique potentials over all possible cliques . The value of depends on the local configuration on the clique c. Obviously, the Gaussian distribution is a special member of this Gibbs distribution family.
A GRF is said to be homogeneous if is independent of the relative position of the clique c in . It is said to be isotropic if is independent of the orientation of c. It is considerably simpler to specify a GRF distribution if it is homogeneous or isotropic than one without such properties. The homogeneity is assumed in most MRF vision models for mathematical and computational convenience. The isotropy is a property of direction-independent blob-like regions.
To calculate a Gibbs distribution, it is necessary to evaluate the partition function Z which is the sum over all possible configurations in . Since there are a combinatorial number of elements in for a discrete , as illustrated in Section 1.1.2, the evaluation is prohibitive even for problems of moderate sizes. Several Approximation methods exist for solving this problem ( cf. Chapter 7).
measures the probability of the occurrence of a particular configuration, or ``pattern'', f. The more probable configurations are those with lower energies. The temperature T controls the sharpness of the distribution. When the temperature is high, all configurations tend to be equally distributed. Near the zero temperature, the distribution concentrates around the global energy minima. Given T and , we can generate a class of ``patterns'' by sampling the configuration space according to ; see Section 2.4.1.
For discrete labeling problems, a clique potential can be specified by a number of parameters. For example, letting be the local configuration on a triple-clique , takes a finite number of states and therefore takes a finite number of values. For continuous labeling problems, can vary continuously. In this case, is a (possibly piecewise) continuous function of .
Sometimes, it may be convenient to express the energy of a Gibbs distribution as the sum of several terms, each ascribed to cliques of a certain size, that is,
The above implies a homogeneous Gibbs distribution because , and are independent of the locations of i, and . For non-homogeneous Gibbs distributions, the clique functions should be written as , , and so on.
An important special case is when only cliques of size up to two are considered. In this case, the energy can also be written as
Note that in the second term on the RHS, and are two distinct cliques in because the sites in a clique are ordered. The conditional probability can be written as

Campbellsville University
Campbellsville University is using more and more "green" initiatives to use resources more effectively, which fits in with the university's "Vision 2025: Transforming Christian Servant Leaders" planning document.
The Council on Social Work Education has accredited Campbellsville University's Carver School of Social Work's Master of Social Work program.
"Accreditation is a challenging process, yet it provides a level of assurance that the program is delivering a curriculum consistent with professional social work standards," Dr. Darlene Eastridge, dean of the Carver School of Social Work and Counseling, said.
A Washington County jury has found Kathleen Wise guilty of intentionally murdering her husband with liquid morphine and has recommended that she spend life in prison for her crime.
The verdict was returned just 20 minutes after the jury began to deliberate. The jurors took 10 minutes to recommend the life sentence.
The trial began Monday morning, and was moved to Washington County at Wise's request, who claimed media attention would make it impossible for her to receive a fair trial in Taylor County.
"I want these!," the the girl yells, as she picks up a pair of colorful shorts. Her mother isn't so sure.
A few aisles over, the boy says he is sure the pants will fit, but his mother suggests he try them on anyway.
At the backpack aisle, a boy settles on a camouflage backpack to hold his new school supplies.
She didn't ask for the traditional birthday party. She wanted to jump out of an airplane.
"It is something I've always wanted to do," Christen Johnson said. "I like doing adventurous things.
"It just looked fun."
Both self-proclaimed adventurous people, Christen and her father, David, went skydiving in Elizabethtown on her birthday, June 30, to celebrate her turning 18.
A Florence man will register as a sex offender and spend 141 days in jail for having sex with an 8-year-old girl in Taylor County.
Gilbert J. Tomer, 32, of 3960 Wynnbrook Drive #67, was indicted by a Taylor County grand jury last August and charged with the first-degree rape of a girl younger than 12.
The Kentucky Office of Highway Safety recently honored 126 law enforcement officers, including several from Taylor County, from 123 agencies across the commonwealth for their efforts to increase the use of seat belts and child restraints.
Campbellsville Police Officers Scotty Perian and Ryan Jewell were honored, as was Taylor County Sheriff's Deputy Mark Dickens.
Motorists throughout the state may do a double take this summer as the Kentucky State Police begin rolling out new cruisers with an updated look. The agency is transitioning from the Ford Crown Victoria, which is no longer being made, to the 2012 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
KSP recently purchased 125 of the vehicles, 100 in traditional gray and 25 in tan for use by its Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division, to begin replacing its aging fleet of 2004 to 2010 model Fords.
Kentucky State Police Post 15 is now accepting applications for the 2012 Kentucky State Police Citizens Police Academy.
The 10-week academy is slated to begin Monday, Sept. 3, and will meet every Monday from 7 to 9:30 p.m. through graduation on Monday, Nov. 5.
Attendees will learn about the many facets of the Kentucky State Police to include classroom topics such as criminal patrol, criminal investigations and drug investigations. Participants will also take part in simulated traffic stops, crime scene scenarios and evidence collection.
A push for a statewide smoking ban in public places is getting some help from Campbellsville residents.
The Smoke Free Kentucky group is pushing for legislators to approve a ban on smoking in all public places in Kentucky. And Campbellsville is one of the group's stops in its grassroots effort to gain support.

1. Cycle the airlock and exit to the Martian surface.
2. You can just make out Campbell and Swann's truck leaving far-right. Armor and shells are to the right, a medkit is to your left.
3. A single Cacodemon is floating around outside. I'm using a plasma gun here, but I quickly switched to the shotgun as he approached.
4. You'll find at least four air canisters such as this scattered around -- plenty of air to make it to the airlock.
5. The airlock is located to the right. Open it and repressurize to enter the base.
6. Sarge orders you to pick up the pace. A zombie and this Z-Sector attack as you exit the airlock.
7. Three Imps spawn. Note the medkit to the left. Search under the stairs for another medkit and some armor.
8. Fight your way into this next room. Descend these stairs and approach that armor vest below.
9. Grab the armor and the door behind it opens. This - whatever it is - pokes its head out at you for a harmless scare.
10. Two Imps spawn behind you. Search under the stairs for a medkit.
11. This Imp is guarding shells and a clip on the crate to the left. Head into the crawlspace on the right.
12. This skeleton slides in front of you and the sound of demonic laughter rattles the crawlspace. Grab a medkit to the left.
13. Find shells and armor in the crawlspace before exiting here. Battle the zombie then descend the surface access portal on the left. Make sure all of your weapons are reloaded.
14. A medkit and armor are at the bottom of the ladder - and a swarm of Trites.
15. Don't try to clear out all the Trites. There's no air here and you need to keep moving. Swing around to the left and pick up air canisters and medkits along the way.
16. This lift is your destination. Call it and you have to wait for it to descend. Switch to the shotgun to make your last stand.
17. You're not done once the lift surfaces. Toss a grenade to set off some explosive barrels and clear out the Z-Sectors ahead.
18. Before stepping off the lift, turn right to find these cells, medkit and armor.
19. A secret panel across the lift raises, revealing this Imp.
20. Step off the lift - backwards - and defeat this Imp to your upper-left. You can climb a ladder to get armor, but you'll have to battle a Z-Sector and a Cacodemon.
21. In the next room, this Z-Sector is to your left -- shoot the barrel and hope for the best. A medkit and armor are under a broken door to the right. Bill Miller writes, "If you turn around and look to the rear in scene 21 of Communication Transfer, you will see a garage type door angled open at the bottom. Crouch under it and enter this room for some goodies. When you spawn the cacodemons, you can retreat back under the door and snipe at them in relative safety."
22. Advance to witness the Campbell-and-Swann-mobile speeding away.
23. Cacodemons! Two in front, one behind.
24. This medkit is to the right.
25. Search these shelves to the left for supplies. An Imp and a Wraith will spawn as you explore. Move the smaller crates to step up to the higher shelves.
26. Don't miss this nook in the back.
27. These Beavertooth chainsaw boxes are a bit of foreshadowing. Enter the door on the left.
28. Pick up James Holiday's PDA.
29. The PDA contains this email, complaining of a useless chainsaw shipment. Don't read the PDA just yet.
30. As soon as you grab the PDA, two chainsaw zombies attack!
31. Defeat them and now you've got a chainsaw! Use it on the three zombies that attack through the door.
32. Backtrack and defend yourself against another chainsaw zombie. James Holiday's PDA will now get you through this door.
33. Fracture fat zombie on the right, guarding some armor. A locked door is to the left. You can just make out the green lights of two medkits ahead, where an Imp will attack. This is a very dark and scary corridor.
34. A Pinky Demon spawns behind you. Two well-placed shotgun blasts will vape 'em. The elevator on the left is non-functional. Note the previously-locked door panel behind the Pinky is now green. Pass through and defeat an Imp on the other side.
35. This Wraith attacks from the left. Grab the medkit seen on the crate to the right.
36. This Cacodemon attacks once you open the door on the right. A couple shotgun blasts will bring him down.
37. Hug the left wall to find a medkit and armor before climbing this ladder.
38. Take down this Cacodemon with a couple pops from your shotgun. Before ascending the stairs, check underneath for a medkit and a clip.
39. Your objectives are updated. Armor and shells are up some stairs to the right. Take out the Imp that spawns, then exit through this door on the left, taking out another Imp.
40. Battle a series of Wraiths in the hallway.
41. Follow the hallway left and this Pinky charges from behind. Standing on these crates affords minimal protection. Hit the Pinky with two quick shotgun blasts. Grab a medkit and a clip from the shelves.
42. Backtrack through the hallway and grab the medkit in this malfunctioning elevator -- everything turns red, but just for a moment.
43. Continue down the hall but keep left. Drop into this alcove for shells and a medkit. An Imp spawns.
44. Open the door across the hall and this Imp leaps on you. Smelly!
45. There's Ron Ridge - and his PDA. Armor is under the ledge.
46. The PDA gives you clearance for the choo-choo. Use the console on the left to call the train. See the number painted on the floor? This is station 1.
47. Use the arrow controls to maneuver the train down the track. You can go directly to the three stations by using the menu at the bottom of the screen, but you'll have better control with the arrow controls. Ready your shotgun as you approach this "Sector Access" door on the left. As you move forward, the door slides open to reveal a Z-Sector. Inside are cells, a medkit, armor and a clip.
48. Continue forward and this Z-Sector attacks from the bridge. Hop over the railing just visible on the left to find a room with cells and a medkit.
49. Move farther along then raise the train with the up arrow to reach the bridge. Note more cells and a medkit lower-right.
50. Through the door closer to you you'll find a Z-Sector on the right, then this Imp spawns behind you.
51. Keep left and defeat this chainsaw zombie. Use the red terminal behind him to unlock the exit door at station 3.
52. Follow through a door in the opposite hallway and do battle with this Pinky. Grab the medkit and cells. A health station is through the door ahead.
53. Backtrack to the train. You could go through the door seen here on the left, but all that you'd find is a lift that takes you down to the room where you picked up cells and a medkit earlier and some shells. And you'd have to fight an Imp -- not really worth it IMHO.
54. Bring the train back down to the track then continue around the corner to the right. Toss a grenade to this Imp below. Follow the ladder seen here below for armor, shells, a medkit and a clip. Continue through the door behind the Imp.
55. Defeat the zombie inside and grab the medkit and clip on the left, spawning this Wraith. A terminal above opens the door to station 2, but there's no need to go there.
56. Instead, hop up over the ladder and back into the train. Ride it the short distance over to station 3 seen beyond.
57. Defeat this Cacodemon after exiting the train.
58. Exit through here, healing at the station on the left. Grab the armor and proceed to the door ahead.
59. The floor drops out. What's this? The Berserker power up!
60. Ready your weapon of choice then have at it. A horde of zombies attacks, but who cares -- you're invincible! This is a classic id moment.
61. Once the dust settles, hop up these stairs through the door ahead.
62. Defeat this chainsaw zombie then cycle the airlock beyond.
63. Once again, you're just seconds behind Swann and Campbell -- that's their truck speeding away.
64. Defeat two Cacodemons then jump over the railing on the left. Armor, air and a medkit are under the bridge.
65. You'll find the airlock to the left of the bridge.
66. Click on this panel to load Communications.

Newly released documents from the FBI's year-long investigation of Hillary Clinton's server indicate a State Department official proposed a "quid pro quo" aimed at getting the FBI to cover up classified emails discovered on Clinton's server. In return, an unnamed FBI official said it might be open to a deal if the State Department could agree to boosting the FBI's presence in Iraq.
The FBI notes released Monday show that Patrick Kennedy, State's undersecretary for management, pressured the FBI to change the classified markings on an email that had been upgraded to "secret."
An unnamed witness told investigators that Kennedy attempted "to influence the FBI to change its markings" and asked FBI agents if they could "see their way to marking the email unclassified." Under a proposed deal between the unnamed FBI official and the State Department, Kennedy would "reciprocate by allowing the FBI to place more Agents in countries where they are presently forbidden." That deal never happened, the FBI said.
The email in question remained classified at the "secret" level, the FBI said. The bureau also said the unnamed official who requested Kennedy's help securing additional personnel in Iraq has since retired.
According to the latest batch of investigative notes, the retired official said he would "look into the e-mail matter if KENNEDY would provide authority concerning the FBI's request to increase its personnel in Iraq."
Kennedy, in return, wanted a classification change to "B9," a Freedom of Information act redaction that he hoped would allow him to "archive the document in the basement of [the State Department] never to be seen again."
Another witness told the FBI that he "believes STATE has an agenda which involves minimizing the classified nature of the CLINTON emails in order to protect STATE interests and those of CLINTON."
While the deal was never struck, the findings are the latest sign that the State Department was working to downplay the impact of the classified information found on Clinton's emails, after Clinton had said for months that she never emailed any classified data on her personal email system. An email leaked last week appears to indicate that the State Department was working to massage the email story by working with reporters to downplay it.

On Oct. 1, the United Nations will be marking the International Day of the Older Person. In Halifax, members of the Fung Loy Kok Taoist Tai Chi organization will be gathering at their centre on North Park Street in Halifax, to celebrate the day by engaging in a world-wide tai chi video-conference.
The hour-long live-streamed video will begin in British Columbia and move to Colorado, Alberta, Ontario, Florida, Nova Scotia, Great Britain, Netherlands, Spain, Australia and New Zealand.
"We'll be gathering at 2029 North Park St. at 10 a.m.," says Betty Boudreau, chair of the Atlantic Region Seniors Committee of the Fung Loy Kok Institute of Taoism. The video link will be at 11a.m. and then we'll have lunch and more tai chi."
She says there are many studies which show that engaging in the practice of tai chi, a series of rhythmic, meditative movements, has many health benefits for people of all ages, but especially seniors.
"We are a volunteer-based, charitable organization that has been helping people improve their physical, mental and spiritual well-being for more than 47 years in 26 countries, with over 40,000 participants worldwide, including 12,000 in Canada and approximately 300 in the Halifax branch. We are dedicated to passing on the teachings of our founder, Master Moy Lin Shin, who asked us to help others to improve their health in the spirit of compassion."
She says adds that the organization surveyed Canadian participants who practice Taoist Tai Chi
"Participants reported reductions in their use of public health services, including reduced need for surgery and also improvements in key areas such as balance and bone density. Taoist Tai Chi arts are gentle, can be done by anyone and particularly appeal to elderly people who might not otherwise be exercising," says Boudreau.
The event on Oct. 1 is for Nova Scotian members of the Fung Loy Kok Institute of Taoism, but anyone interested in learning about tai chi and its health benefits can contact the institute for information on open houses being held around the province to introduce Nova Scotians to tai chi.

Zarjaz "Inter Block Rock" 12" EP. 1986.
Ziro Baby is/was the man/kid behind Tronics and Zarjaz, as well as anything "Freakapuss" related. Probably one of the most interesting and strange characters to come out of the Punk/New Wave era, especially by constantly reinventing himself into whatever he felt like doing. After Tronics, he began Zarjaz as an exercise in "Baroqueabilly," which sounded a lot like Wendy Carlos' Bach recordings on A Clockwork Orange. Then, out of nowhere, Zarjaz releases this "Inter Block Rock" EP which is a DiY noise-pop record. Maybe just to prove that he can do it as good as anyone else at the time? One of these songs ("TV On In Bed") is a revved up version of the Tronics track on "Love Backed By Force."
There's a good chance of all Tronics/Zarjaz material being reissued on a friend's label. Exciting news, I'll update when that happens.
A great interview here: http://everetttrue5.wordpress.com/2009/07/21/plan-b-the-archives-18-the-tronicsles-zarjaz/

Thanks a lot for this - I'm a long-term Tronics/Zarjaz/Freakapuss fan, but I lost my copy of this EP somewhere along the line in the '90s! I think the noise-pop sound of this has a lot to do with Joe Foster's production.ReplyDelete
I would love to hear the first cassette album, hope that's on the reissue programme!

1. There's peace and rest in paradise,
In weary hours we say;
And oh that we had wings like doves
That we might flee away!
2. For here so strong the evil seems,
So weak appears the good,
Our standard wavers in the rush
Of evil, like a flood.
3. At times, through the long lonely watch,
Nor sun nor moon appears;
Without, incessant fightings are,
Within, incessant fears.
4. Then for the quiet land we long,
And the abode of peace;
And for the word, Come, weary soul,
From war and vigil cease!
5. But in our stronger hours we grasp
The warrior's sword again,
And burn the good fight yet to fight,
The faithful watch maintain.
6. We fain would tread the famous way
Martyrs and saints have trod;
The hours ebb fast of this one day
Of noblest war for God!
7. The Lord Himself hath need of us;
On! till the fight be won;
And the King's words shall thrill the heart:
Servant of God, well done!

Oh fine. You people are impossible to please. Anyway, like it or not, I'm doing today's already-late update, since Liz had more important things to do (Alicia Keys concert) and asked me at about 1 something AM to do this. Good thing I didn't want to get to bed or anything! In case you haven't connected the dots yet, the title more or less stems from the taste you get biting into a lemon. You know, starts with a 'b', rhymes with 'litter'? Yeah, that's me. Moving on...
-Steve, Blues Clues.
Liz, This runs us into our first topic, "Is there a video game based on an anime that I like". Not only is there an anime-based game that I like, there's TWO!! First, Record of Lodoss War for the DC. It's Diablo. With Lodoss War stuff. :P Second, all of the Blues Clues games. It could have just been that I've been exposed to them far too much, but it could be that Humongous is really good with kids software. This provides contrast into our next topic, "Why the hell are you up at 3:30 in the morning?" I don't know. I'd also like to mention this shameless plug for Age of the Ancients, telnet://mud.ancients.org:5000 . So, yeah. Go there. D00dz.
Blue's Clues, I refuse to comment on. At least you're not playing Barney's Hide & Seek on the Genny like my brother was a few months ago... now THAT is scary. Interesting factoid: If you leave the controller alone for a few moments, Barney will actually complete the level FOR YOU. I fail to see the point of even doing anything. Just plug it in and watch...
Mike: Foregoing all 'Just how stupid are you?' questions (though I am curious), looking at one obviously faked box of FFXII (notice the lack of a Squaresoft logo, jagged curve on the top, no image behind the FF text, which is a series tradition) does not prove a single thing. I could make a better-looking fake box in less than 20 minutes, and actually intended to do so to prove my point, but I won't. Go check out the news and release dates once in awhile. Final Fantasy XII is listed as a PS2 release for a reason.
Unfortunately, that's all Square has revealed. Whoopie.
*Bye, have a good day............
P.S. Do game companies always respond to major requests for games? If so, then why haven't more popular classic games such as Secret of Mana been remade yet? I'd really like that game to be remade. Yeah, i know Chrono Trigger and three Final Fantasies have been remade, but you know...just can't get enuff of some games....
Mike: ...pretty much. The PSX is definitely not needed for a game like SoM, and with Square's past ports, I'm not sure I'd WANT to see it happen. There's no word on a US release of FF I & II, but you never know. On one hand, the PSOne is pretty ancient news here, but Square may do it simply for the lack of anything else to release here. Maybe with a reduced price point, they just might sell.
I think companies will listen to requests, but not always respond, unless there's proof of actual demand. Square has said they intend on doing some sequels to popular games/series, but won't confirm what, so we could see anything from Chrono Break (still waiting), Vagrant Story 2, Parasite Eve 3... who knows. Also, to be technical, CT and the FFs weren't remade, but ported, with a few enhancements. Said enhancements probably being put into place to make up for the sometimes crappy music and horrid load times. I'd love to see a true remake of CT myself...ramble ramble.
But then again, I'd be getting approximately 80% less e-mail if everyone did. =P

UCD's Agricultural Science Society (AgSoc) held a fundraising event in the Goat Public House in Goatstown on the 28th September. The evening, the proceeds of which went to charity, turned into alcohol-induced mayhem with both the Gardaí and an ambulance being called at different stages of the evening.
Complaints were received by the University Observer from an anonymous source stating that "from approximately 10.30pm until at least 3am there was shouting, swearing, urinating in public, breaking of glasses and bottles, and the main reason I am contacting you, the destruction (by way of snapping in half) of a number of recently planted trees on the Goatstown Road".
According to the source, it took many years of liaising with the local county councillors to have the trees planted, so it was met with "great regret" that a number of them had been destroyed. Auditor of AgSoc, John Douglas, refused to confirm that it had been AgSoc members who broke the trees, "I seen trees broken this morning but again, I didn't see it going on […] I seen five or six trees broken".
A representative from the Goat stated that the students stayed for an hour and a half after the bar closed, refusing to leave when asked to do so; additionally, "they broke tables and chairs – one table and five chairs".
An ambulance was called to the Goat after a girl allegedly put her head through a window. Douglas was unsure as to exactly what happened; "not too sure, she was stitched up and whatever had to be done with her, cleaned up".
Douglas stated that "we didn't want anything to upset anyone, we just wanted to have a bit of fun; it's for charity sure, we just wanted to raise money for charity, sure that's what AgSoc have been doing for years, any nights they did was for charity".
The source of the complaint, who is also a UCD alumnus, was "really appalled at the manner in which these students behaved and [the] picture that they have now portrayed of UCD Agricultural Science Students/UCD – I would expect a lot more from them".
Student Union President Pat de Brún commented on the negative effect that the incident could have on events organised by other societies in future; "Obviously it's hugely damaging to the reputation of students in UCD. It puts future society, Union and sports club events in danger in terms of what venues we can use".
Douglas insists that, in order to prevent a similar situation arising again, he would "find out who's causing the trouble, find out who the messers are – it's not acceptable, we would e-mail the members, that behaviour won't be allowed on any Ag nights, it's not the Ag way".
AgSoc have made a formal apology for their members' behaviour on the night. The Goat will not be seeking compensation from AgSoc.

It took months and three bottles of Tums to recover from last December's bar burger series. Remember that? I wrote about the 20 burgers you have to eat before you die (or die trying).
This time, I took a considerably smaller bite out of Tacoma's bar burger footprint: Five more bar burgers you should add to your list of must-try-or-die burgers around town.
Just don't tell your doctor before you embark on your eating project. Click "read more" to see my top five bar burgers of the moment.
Please note: The burgers listed here are available in the bar of the restaurants. Some are on the regular restaurant menus, but all are available in the bar.
1. Pacific Grill's Duck Sausage Sliders For the win: Duck and bacon sausage might be one of the best food inventions. Where: Pacific Grill, 1502 Pacific Ave., Tacoma, 253-627-3535, pacificgrilltacoma.com. Serving lunch and dinner Monday-Friday, dinner Saturday, closed Sunday
Can you really call a slider made with duck sausage a burger? Heck yeah, you can. I set precedence when I named the Asado burger – a burger made with chorizo – in my top-five bar burgers list last year. I hardly can be considered a burger traditionalist.Pacific Grill debuted a new fall menu last month and the addition quickly propelled to the top of my bar burger list: duck sausage sliders with house-made potato chips. The sausage was aromatic with a gamy-porky-earthy flavor. A sour-sweet contrast came from a swipe of whole-grain mustard on griddled sweet Hawaiian slider rolls laden with fennel, sauteed onions and red peppers that had just the slightest touch of snap – with more snap coming from the duck sausage. House-made chips were crispy, salty and purely potato flavored, as they should be. Two duck sliders and fries were $6.25 in the bar during half-off happy hour, which runs all day, every day during operating hours (for the foreseeable future).
2. Marrow Burger For the win: It's so luscious, the burger juice runs down your arm. Where: Marrow, 2717 Sixth Avenue, Tacoma; 253-267-5299, marrowtacoma.com. Serving dinner Tuesday-Saturday, closed Sunday-Monday
A flame-grilled juicy, fat patty on a fluffy, glossy brioche bun was covered in a silken sheen of Mount Townsend Trailhead, a buttery cheese with a full, nutty taste. Crispy frisee gave the burger just enough crunch and cool to cut the fatty, juicy burger (a four-napkin affair). Bacon was chewy, thick and salty, while onions came caramelized and sweet. Aioli with a kick of heat was served with ethereal, crispy house-fried Russet chips on the side. The new fall menu brought some tweaks to the burger. Chef Kyle Wnuk added tomato jam – one of the signatures of his burgers when he was chef at Dirty Oscar's Annex – and the Marrow Burger now comes with white cheddar cheese and a house pickle. On the side is purple potato chips. The burger is $13.
3. Masa BurgerFor the win: Bacon embedded fried cheese: Homer Simpson Drool. Where: Masa, 2811 Sixth Ave., Tacoma, 253-254-0560, masatacoma.com, serving lunch and dinner daily
What's better than bacon? Fried cheese embedded with bacon. Fried pepperjack with crispy chunks of bacon – made on the grill at Masa – added a crispy, chewy, salty, smoky layer of yum to a burger that flavor exploded upon impact. Roasted jalapenos, a poblano pepper-fortified aioli and a zippy pico de gallo added layers of heat, while green leaf lettuce cooled it down some. I appreciated the coarse grind on the patty – made from ground chuck – which tasted uber-juicy and came flame-grilled. The burger is served on a sturdy cornmeal-dusted Kaiser roll. A big pile of hand-cut, skins-on fries on the side came sprinkled with cilantro and cotija and doused with jalapeno garlic butter. The burger is $9.99.
[caption id="attachment_9485" align="aligncenter" width="480" caption="The Chophouse Burger "] [/caption]4. Chophouse BurgerFor the win: Smoked mushrooms makes burgers yummy. Where: Stanley & Seafort's, 115 E. 34th St., Tacoma, 253-473-7300, stanleyandseaforts.com, serving lunch Monday-Friday and dinner daily
Wait, what? I can have smoked mushrooms on my burger? Well, OK, sign me up. Applewood-smoked mushrooms (smoked in Stanley's kitchen), added deep flavor and luscious texture to the juicy half-pound burger that came coated with a pungent layer of Maytag blue cheese. A sturdy brioche bun was a stellar example of why every good restaurant should serve burgers on brioche – they don't fall apart, even when the burger is a towering mess of ingredients. Thin-shredded iceberg, thick-sliced tomatoes and red onions finished the burger. A ramekin of crispy fries came on the side. The burger starts at $12, with $2 charges for mushrooms, bacon and other add-ons.
5. The SBGC Burger For the win: The taste of char and raw, snappy heat. Where: Social Bar & Grill, 1715 Dock St., Tacoma, 253-301-3835, thesocialbarandgrill.com, serving lunch and dinner daily
Like Masa, the Social Burger & Grill Cheeseburger (SBGC) came drenched with flavor and spice – crisp, spicy raw jalapeno slices fueled the fire that was continued by the chile-spiked aioli on the side (in fact, all ingredients come on the side, which helps diners control the heat). Grill marks gave the half-pound patty a delicious dose of char. What I liked about Social's burger was that instead of the standard tomato slice, the Social burger came with roasted red peppers. Caramelized onions lent sweet texture to the burger. A solid brioche bun, melted cheddar and bacon made this burger a win. Formerly served a la carte for $8, the burger now is $9.50 with classic or sweet potato fries.

Finding Equivalent Ratios
Lesson 2 of 3
Objective: SWBAT find equivalent ratios.
The purpose of the Hook is to garner students interest in the upcoming topic. I will share a short story with students.
When I was in high school, I ran track. I was a sprinter, not a long distance runner. My best friend, Michelle, was also on the track team, but she was a long distance runner. Since I'm a competitive person, I always tried to keep up with her when we practiced. However, Michelle simply had a greater endurance for long distance. For every 3 laps I ran, Michelle ran 5 laps.
Do Now
Previously, students were introduced to writing and interpreting ratios. The Do Now relies on their previous knowledge of ratios.
Do Now
In my story of running track, what was the ratio of my laps to my friend Michelle's laps. How many different ways can you write/represent this ratio?
After about 5 minutes, I will randomly select students to show an example on the board.
Possible Answers
1)3 to 5
2)3 : 5
4)For every 3 laps you ran, Michelle ran 5 laps.
5) Students may use a ratio table
6) Students may draw a tape diagram.
Example 1 - See Equivalent Ratios - Example 1
Continuing from the Hook and Do Now, this lesson will focus on using tape diagrams to find equivalent ratios.
Let's use a tape diagram representation of the ratio 3 to 5. How can we determine how many laps Michelle ran if I ran 264 laps?
I will give students a few minutes to discuss the problem with their group and then we will reconvene. If students are unable to develop a strategy on their own, I will offer them a few leading questions.
- Does each box represent the same number of laps?
- Students should realize that each box represents the same number.
- How can we determine how many laps each box represents?
- Students should understand that if you divide the total number of laps that I ran by the number of boxes that represent this amount, you will arrive at the value of each box.
- Once we know the number of laps for each box, how can we use this to determine the number of laps that Michelle ran?
- Students should understand that we can multiply the value of each box by the number of boxes representing Michelle's laps to determine the total amount of her laps.
I will lead students through another example to ensure that they understand how tape diagrams can be used to find equivalent ratios.
Example 2 - On Jonathan's Social Studies test the ratio of problems he answered correct to problems he answered incorrectly is 2 : 9. If he answered 26 questions wrong, how many did he answer right? Use a tape diagram to determine your answer.

Exit Ticket
The exit ticket is an assessment of students' understanding of using tape diagrams to find equivalent ratios. Students will receive a sheet of paper on which to solve the below problem on.
Exit Ticket
Jose and Tamara are decorating a for a party. They have two different color streamers, red and blue. The ratio of length of red to length of blue is 2 to 3. If there is 38 ft of red streamer, how many feet of blue do they have? Use a tape diagram to show your work.
Students will have 5 - 7 minutes to answer the question. I will collect the tickets and use them to determine scaffolding and grouping for future lessons.

Over his twenty-plus year tenure in Hollywood, Spike Lee has produced a number of controversial films that unapologetically confront sensitive social issues, particularly those of race relations and discrimination. Through his honest portrayals of lifeas social obstacles, he challenges the public to reflect on the worldas problems and divisions. The innovative director created a name for himself with feature films such as Do the Right Thing (1989) and Malcolm X (1992), and with documentaries such as 4 Little Girls (1997) and When the Levees Broke (2006), breaking with Hollywoodas reliance on cultural stereotypes to portray African Americans in a more realistic light. The director continues to produce poignant films that address some of modern societyas most important historical movements and events. In The Philosophy of Spike Lee, editor Mark T. Conard and an impressive list of contributors delve into the rich philosophy behind this filmmakeras extensive work. Not only do they analyze the major themes of race and discrimination that permeate Leeas productions, but also examine other philosophical ideas that are found in his films, ideas such as the nature of time, transcendence, moral motivation, self-constitution, and justice. The authors specialize in a variety of academic disciplines that range from African American Studies to literary and cultural criticism and Philosophy.Ironies of Time aClockersa are the drug dealers on the streets selling drugs 24/7; hence they are always on the clock.

Newcastle Central has had a makeover - and now there are fresh spaces to appear in, in a train station that welcomes 8 million passengers a year (13 million, if you include those using the Metro). With people flooding in and out from York, Edinburgh and London Kings Cross, give commuters on the go something to stop short for.
This space is available to rent for 1-4 weeks and as the station is open from 5.30am-1am opening hours can vary. It's a copper-style kiosk that's compact, modern and easy to work with. It's one of four similar units, one of which is already a coffee shop, so the landlord is looking for different ideas here.
Think treats for the journey and other things that will fit the customer mindset. It comes with a shuttered front, customer seating and optional separate storage/prep space.
Bookings durations from 1 to 4 weeks.
The station is open from 5.30am until 1am, opening hours for the kiosk are negotiable.
No coffee shop ideas are permitted in this space.
At Appear Here we believe in the personal touch, which is why everyone gets matched to a Concierge who is there to help you find the perfect space for your idea.

Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born al-Qaeda cleric, has just been killed in Yemen, according to both Yemeni defence ministry and US officials. This represents the harshest blow to al-Qaeda's global movement since the assassination of Osama bin Laden in May. Although not a military strategist or commander of Bin Laden's stature, Awlaki's importance as a charismatic "procurement agent" for al-Qaeda, and as an ideologue for global jihadism, can be seen in his influence of several infamous lone wolf terrorists. These include Nidal Malk Hassan, the US army major who murdered 13 of his fellow soliders and wounded 29 others at the Ford Hood military installation in late 2009; Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian UCL graduate who tried to detonate a bomb woven into his underwear on a Detroit-bound airliner two Christmases ago, and Faisal Shahzad, the abortive Times Square bomber.
Everything you need to know about Awlaki's particular brand of violent Salafism, and his role as an online procurer of disaffected Muslims, is contained in a brilliant new report by Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens, a research fellow at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at King's College London. Awlaki began advocating jihad in Chechnya in the mid-90s as a young imam in Denver. He was a suspect in two FBI investigations before 9/11, including one that ended in March 2000, after Awlaki was thought to have had contact with two of the future 9/11 hijackers, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar. Nevertheless, he hung around the US, preaching at the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Virginia, where he met a third hijacker, Hani Hanjour. He was arrested twice in 1996 and 1997 for the solicitation of prostitutes (if anything remains of Awlaki's hard drive, my guess is his porn stash will rival that of the self-abusers of Abbottabad).
And like many jihadists, Awlaki spent some time in London, brought here by various Islamic groups and NGOs. As Meleagrou-Hitchens notes:
In 2002, Awlaki moved to the UK where, along with JIMAS [then a Salafist group that has since undergone somewhat moderate reforms], his patrons were leading Muslim Brotherhood-aligned organisations such as the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) and the Federation of Student Islamic Societies (FOSIS). Throughout June 2003, they toured him around the country to give lectures to Muslims on subjects ranging from the war on Islam and Muslims to the role of Muslims in the local community. On 18 June in London, he spoke at an event held in conjunction with the MAB and the Islamic societies of four of the city's main universities, a further reflection of his popularity among young Western Muslims. At the University of Aston in Birmingham four days later, his entire talk was in praise of a number of leading Islamist ideologues, including Muslim Brotherhood founder Hasan al-Banna and 'Umm Jihad' (mother of jihad) Zaynab al-Ghazali, who were both described as 'saviours of the Islamic spirit.'
Specifically, Awlaki was hosted at FOSIS's annual conference at Camden Centre in June 2003. He was presented as a "distinguished guest." (Perhaps this is why the Home Office's recent Prevent Review and Strategy judged that "FOSIS has not always fully challenged terrorist and extremist ideology within the higher and further education sectors.")
A few months later, in December 2003, Awlaki turned up at the East London Mosque (ELM) in Tower Hamlets to participate in its "Stop Police Terror" event. He exhorted the congregation not to cooperate with the authorities' counterterrorism investigations. "A Muslim is a brother of a Muslim," he said, "he does not oppress him, he does not betray him and he does not hand him over… You don't hand over a Muslim to the enemies…"
That was the first of two events involving Awlaki at the ELM. The second was a video message he delivered in January 2009 — by which time he'd reportedly emigrated to Yemen – for the mosque's "The End of Time" event (here's a poster for that eschatological confab), by which time his views on supporting violent jihad were widely known. The Telegraph reported his scheduled appearance before it took place but the ELM decided to host him anyway. The mosque issued a statement: "Mr Awlaki has not been proven guilty in a court of law. Everyone is entitled to their point of view… The subject matter is about judgement and the afterlife, a common theme in many religions."
By February 2009, Awlaki had published a pamphlet titled "44 Ways to Support Jihad," in which he wrote: "Preparing for Jihad is obligatory… Arms training is an essential part of preparation for Jihad." No matter. He was slated to address City University ISOC's annual dinner on 1 April 2009, an appearance that was ultimately cancelled after the counter-extremism think tank, the Centre for Social Cohesion (now part of the Henry Jackson Society), protested. Then, in August 2009, Awlaki was meant to give yet another video lecture at Kensington and Chelsea Town Hall, this one organised by Moazzam Begg's Cageprisoners group for its "Beyond Guantanamo" dinner. Another pressure campaign scotched that appearance as well, although City's ISOC went ahead and posted Awlaki's prerecorded audio message on its website.
In January 2009, shortly after the thwarted Underpants Bomber plot, President Obama issued a "kill or capture" order against Awlaki, signalling his importance to the War on Terror.
Now might be a good time to inquire of FOSIS and ELM if they still find the late, unlamented cleric acceptable company.

Having a replay issue. Everytime I try to watch a replay, the computer just draws cards and nothing happens. I keep seeing
