One of the most common operations performed on a PC is moving/copying files. Using a free application called Teracopy, we copied large numbers of two file types from one folder to another on the same drive. Teracopy allows us to objectively measure the time of transfer and using the same drive prevents other devices from tainting the outcome. The operation requires the drive to perform both sustained read and writes simultaneously. The first set of files is a 5GB collection of JPG's of variable size and compression levels with a few movie (.MOV) files thrown in for good measure since most cameras now take video as well as stills.
The second is a collection of MP3 files of various sizes which totals 5GB collectively. These file types were chosen due to their wide use and mixture of file sizes and compression levels.
Install Results: Moving 5 GB of data in just over 30 seconds is simply getting it done. For both data sets, the RevoDrive 3 X2's times were about 10 seconds or more better than the rest of the field.
We also timed the installation of a few rather lengthy applications/suites as app installs is something everyone does and waiting for completion can be a drag. We used Adobe Dreamweaver CS5, Microsoft Office 2010 Professional and Futuremark's 3DMark Vantage (v1.102.1901) as our test subjects with all install settings at default. Both were installed from an installer located on the target drive itself as installing from another drive, especially an optical drive, would cause a bottle-neck that would corrupt the results. The timing for these had to be done via stopwatch so there should be about a half second +/- error margin. Again, with the source and target drives being the same, concurrent read/write activity is required.
Install Results: The install times for all the applications were tops for the RevoDrive 3 X2 though the margins are closer than you would expect showing that the times are partially hindered by the CPU speed.
We'll wrap this with a look at the total drive capacity and our final thoughts.

Shadow of a Horned God
Eldric, also called "The Fury of the South", "The Beast", and "The Invincible Warmaster", is a Feral Elder of Clan Toreador. Having arrived with the Saxon invaders in the mid-5th century, Eldric quickly made a reputation of being a great warrior, defeating anyone he met on the battlefield. He was approached by Rowena, who offered him all the battles he ever wanted against the Britons, in her employment as Warmaster, which he accepted. In her employ, he has (among others) bested the renowned Zealot warrior Lancius in AD 455, the "Raging Madman" Shamshar in AD 461, the "Divine Champion" Bricius in AD 466, the Ventrue Hrodger in AD 571 and the famous Gangrel warrior Caius Tadius Lupus in AD 577 (his single largest victory so far). In the roughly one century that Rowena was absent, however, Eldric pursued various journeys on the continent, returning to his role in Britannia when she returned a few decades ago. However, many who knew him during his earlier service say he's changed, and that he doesn't show the same respect towards Rowena as he did back then. If this is a sign of a coming falling out between the two Artisans, remains yet to be seen.

Situated between the roller coaster and Ferris wheel in an old-fashioned, 32 -acre amusement park, Elitch Theater is one of the few of its kind which is still (after 91 years) filling its well-worn leather seats and turning a profit.
Its intimate stage resonates with memories of the actors who have delivered their lines to eager Denver audiences since the increasingly cosmopolitan energy center was little more than a dusty cow town.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Thumb were at the theater's opening in 1890. The leading man of its first stock company was James O'Neill, father of the playwright Eugene O'Neill. As a boy, Douglas Fairbanks sneaked through the fence and talked himself into a job sweeping the stage in return for tickets to the performances. A young Edward G. Robinson was fired because of his sloppy appearance: He returned later as a big star.
Then there was the matinee idol Frederick Perry. While hurrying to a performance one night, he encountered, at the stage door, a large black bear that had escaped from the nearby Elitch zoo. He managed to slip through and slam the door shut just ahead of the bear, and a few moments later was delivering his lines. But members of the audience claimed to have noticed that his timing was a little off that night.
Pat O'Brien recounts that joining Elitch's company for a summer was something that he and his close friend James Cagney dreamed about when they were starting their careers. Cagney never did perform there, but O'Brien finally did for the first time in 1980. When his picture was hung in the theater, he called it the crowning moment of his professional life.
In a period when the number of summer-stock theaters has shrunk from 27 to 9 in the Denver area, Elitch's continues to blend commercial and artistic success. The reason, say local theater people, is a deft mix of light comedies, musicals, and heavier fare. This year's frothy season opener, for instance, is Jean Kerr's comedy ''Lunch Hour,'' featuring James MacArthur, who played in the television series ''Hawaii Five-0,'' and Cybill Shepherd of ''The Last Picture Show'' fame.
On the more seriously dramatic side, there will be a new series of play readings, featuring contemporary plays. These are part of a program of ''theatrical consciousness raising'' - ranging from ''Dirty Laundry,'' a comedy of light menace among people who meet in a laundromat, to ''The Patriot Game,'' centered on the death and burial of the Irish Republican Army's Bobby Sands.
One of the reasons for Elitch's special ambiance is that it has been a family affair since its beginning. The theater's founders, John and Mary Elitch, arrived in Denver in 1882. John had been an actor before they were married, and the couple found in frontier Denver a town hungry for theater. Residents thronged to visiting road shows, but they had no theater of their own.
Thus Elitch Gardens was born. In the early days, it was a vaudeville theater. It was so successful that Mr. Elitch formed a traveling troup to perform on the West Coast. On the first tour he died prematurely, but his wife ably kept the theater going.
One season Helen Bonfils, owner of the Denver Post and Elitch's producer in the 1960s, played a part in ''The Man Who Came to Dinner,'' while her husband acted the part of the cranky main character.
And the husband-and-wife team of Whitfield Connor, a bushy-browed Irish actor-producer, and Haila Stoddard, who are currently guiding the theater through the dramatic shoals of the post-television age, met here as actors. On the hot summer's day following the theater's successful opening for this season, Mr. Connor, Miss Stoddard, and her sons Christopher Kirkland and Tarquin Bromley gathered on the theater patio to talk about Elitch's, in particular, and the state of the theater, in general. From the background came the metallic swish to the nearby roller coaster and the squeals of its excited passengers.
''Its resonance is what is so wonderful about this theater,'' says Mr. Kirkland, who acts as Elitch's manager and is artistic director of the Playwrights' Center in Minneapolis. ''It resists all your faddish impulses, and makes you go back to basics.''
To illustrate this point, he tells of a performance of ''Giselle'' they staged a few years ago. Because of the small stage, they could not use the standard choreography. So they went back to the original version. In the prop room they found the original scenery, all hand-painted linen. They used members of the Colorado Ballet and a small ensemble of local musicians. ''The result was an intimate 'Giselle.' After it was over, we realized we had re-created a unique piece of art, and it was a commercial success,'' he notes.
While warm and responsive, Denver audiences remain conservative and family-oriented, Connor says. While playwrights themselves have become much more conservative than they were a few years ago, he reports, the public is more broad-minded.
Miss Stoddard says: ''The theater is living, changing. It always reflects its time, but it is always a little ahead. Sensitive playwrights pick up trends just as they are beginning, and probably help them to spread.''
This theatrical family sees signs of renaissance in the public's attitude toward their art. ''People are bored with television. Our subscriptions are up, '' says Kirkland. ''The more computerized the world gets, the harder we have to hang on to our humanity,'' adds his mother.
They argue that the visually literal nature of films and television is freeing the theater to be more abstract, more fluid and imaginative. Mr. Kirkland, for instance, is sponsoring a project in what he calls ''nonverbal'' theater. This involves an exploration of the possible use of sound sculpture and odors to supplement conventional dramatic techniques.
Although the Elitch will always feature musicals and revivals, Connor and Stoddard see the theater introducing more and more plays on its own. For one thing, they see a growing number of gifted writers in the Rocky Mountains and the Midwest who need some nurturing and guidance.
''There are a number of good writers around who are capable of creating extremely good plays, but to whom dramaturgy is a mystery. But to us, it's like breathing,'' the veteran actress says.

Another way of thinking about how the world has changed is to consider the dichotomy between content and context. Had you asked me a decade ago about how we might preserve newspapers (a term that seems so old-fashioned now) in the digital age, I would have said that we need to have stewardship institutions ingest the content databases, including the revision histories of the content. Today, depending on "who" (individually and demographically) a news Web site thinks you are, and your history with the site, it will customize a set of featured articles; this is the end of a long, technologically enabled evolution that starts with early/late and regional editions. So context of the interaction is now critical. It often doesn't matter much if some bit of content is in the database, but only a minuscule fraction of the site's visitors see it, and perhaps only if they specifically search for it. It's the highly visible materials that have the most social impact.
Here are a few popularly discussed (and far from exhaustive) examples of ways in which the pervasive "Age of Algorithms" is now upon us:
An additional area that's slightly different in character from the examples above has moved into prominence in recent months: understanding of the role of information warfare in the 2016 election and in other elections around the world in recent years. Here, it's clear that we need to better understand both the vulnerabilities of existing social media platforms (, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and the roles and functions of algorithmically driven aggressors (botnets) as well as networks of human actors in delivering messages to users of these platforms [ 11 ].
It's important to recognize that many of these algorithmic outcomes do not rise to the level of regulatory or policy scrutiny (at least at the U.S. federal or, occasionally, state levels), or they do so only in very specific, blatant or extreme cases [
Converse One Star Ox Trainers In Grey Suede clearance best store to get clearance wholesale price SNPRpWGO1
]. Some of the examples above are clearly very high stakes situations; others are not. Poor or skewed movie recommendations from Netflix, or a bad book suggestion from Amazon, or an annoying entry in a Facebook feed probably isn't very important, though we have learned that huge numbers of individually low-stakes decisions can add up to very societally serious results, as the 2016 U.S. presidential election has made clear [ 13 ], when compared to systematic gender or racial bias in recommended trial sentences, loan approvals, or medical diagnoses. Various forms of price discrimination, frequently driven by ever-more-detailed information about individual consumers, are now regarded as effective and laudable business practice (Shapiro and Varian, 1999; Useem, 2017) if they are conducted appropriately [ 14 ]. Nevertheless, understanding and documenting such personalized and targeted system behaviors might be of real interest to consumers and consumer advocacy groups in the present, and certainly to scholars in the future (even if there's nothing legally very questionable about them) for the insight that they give into behaviors of the population and the way opinion is shaped and choices are made.

Table 5 demonstrates the adverse outcomes as well as change in payment for each operation individually, to further clarify whether specific procedures types were impacted differently by the Keystone program. The findings were similar for each procedure, with no evidence of improved outcomes or reduced payments following Keystone implementation. The relative risk for mortality (RR 1.31, 95% CI 1.09-1.53), and the overall length of stay (.46 day increase, 95% CI .05-.87) increased slightly for appendectomy, and the length of stay for carotid endarterectomy increased by .17 days (95% CI .04-.31).
In this study, we found that implementation of a checklist-based intervention across Michigan was not associated with improved surgical outcomes (mortality, complications, or serious complications) in Medicare patients. When stratifying by type of procedure, including a spectrum of low- and high-risk operations, there was still no evidence of improvement in outcomes. In addition, we found no evidence that the program decreased resource utilization (reoperations or readmissions) or costs (Medicare payments). When compared to a national cohort of similar hospitals not participating in the program, these findings persisted.
Studies evaluating the effectiveness of surgical checklists are mixed. While numerous studies have reported significant improvements in surgical outcomes and safety culture following surgical checklist implementation,(
Neous Black Anthos 55 Leather Sandals how much for sale IqdD9nm
, 4 - 6 , low shipping fee sale online excellent sale online Yeezy Season 6 Military boots 7CzEI2Y
) the majority of these studies have occurred in small populations or single institutions with controlled environments, and did not include a control group. On the other hand, multiple recent population-based studies of real world checklist implementation in surgical patients have failed to report significant associations with improved outcomes,( 9 , 42 ) but have been criticized due to methodological concerns. The evaluation of mandatory checklist adoption in Ontario, Canada by Urbach and colleagues,( 9 ) for example, only evaluated outcomes 3 months following checklist implementation and included a substantial proportion of low-risk outpatient procedures. Moreover, though checklist-adoption was mandatory, the implementation strategies used to support adoption were variable.( 10 , Ryka Aurora Womens Quilted HighTop Ankle Booties outlet footaction clearance with paypal oz6JYNJ7

Credibility Questions on Fukushima
At the most dire moment of the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant three years ago, nine-tenths of the employees, including executives, panicked and fled the plant following an explosion.
So reports one of Japan's most prestigious newspapers, The Asahi Shimbun. This report, based on previously undisclosed testimony by the plant manager, Masao Yoshida, is in direct conflict with the official account of that fateful day provided by the plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company, or Tepco. It calls into question the truthfulness of both the company and, indeed, the government, which even now is trying to persuade the public to go along with the reopening of 48 nuclear reactors shut down after the accident, which traumatized the country.
The official version of events is that workers left the plant in a disciplined manner and retreated to another facility a few miles away — leaving behind a small band of intrepid workers who risked their lives to prevent the crisis from getting worse. According to the newspaper, Mr. Yoshida told investigators that he and 68 other employees had remained behind but that the flight of the others had been anything but orderly, contrary to company propaganda. Tepco's official report states that Mr. Yoshida had ordered an evacuation to the undamaged Fukushima Daini plant about 6 miles away, but the newly revealed testimony indicated that he gave no such order and that the workers fled on their own. Mr. Yoshida died of cancer last year.
Japan's nuclear industry has always acted under a veil of secrecy. One obvious imperative after the Fukushima disaster was for the government and the nuclear industry to be more transparent. But, even now, transparency seems to be elusive. And without it, ordinary citizens can hardly be expected to support the government's plans. This latest revelation should jolt the Japanese public out of its creeping complacency about nuclear safety and demand proof from the government that it is proceeding with the utmost caution.

In certain places such as rural communities a gun safety class could be beneficial. However due to the fact that many people will go without ever even using a gun, this safety course should take backstage to subjects such as math and english. In other areas it may be more beneficial and safe to develop taser safety courses, considering their superior ability to keep you safe.
Yes, a school-run gun safety course is a great idea because it would teach students essential knowledge that would help them understand and respect guns. I believe information given in a gun safety course could help students to learn about how guns are used and the consequences of misuse. This type of course could lead to lower rates of gun-related violence.
While there is an argument that children should not be taught how to use firearms and that parents have an essential responsibility to keep guns away from children, sometimes children do get hold of guns. Teaching children that these weapons are not toys and teaching them responsibility may help prevent accidents.
Gun safety should be a major component of education. How many kids die of guns a year? Too many. We need to have education so that kids will know that guns are bad. These kids do not understand life or death. They just want to play with toys. Therefore, gun safety must be a thing.
If students were to learn how to properly use guns, and learn the basics of being "safe" with them, more young people would start to use guns. The crime rate would increase, as would the suicide rate. If young adults were taught how to use guns, there chances of wanting to use them would increase. The teenagers who already commit crimes, would now know how to use guns, and that wouldn't be good for anyone.
I don't remember how old I was, but my school handed out flyers for a gun safety course run by a private instructor who did his job professionally. Totally optional. It took a long time, as it should with several long sessions. We went over all of the important things you should know like "always treat a gun as if it is loaded", never point the gun where you wouldn't want it to shoot, be aware of your surroundings, have a back stop, etc... He also went over how responsible you need to be, and had the kids bring in guns of each action so it could be shown how to operate towards the end of the course. At the end, we could shoot it, and pass a written test to get whatever firearms safety I needed to hunt for my state at young age.
That's how it should be done, by a professional, and on weekends so your parents can attend. I don't trust teachers to do their own job sometimes, let alone teach my kid how to handle a gun. It should have one dedicated instructor, with parents attending to provide additional insight and supervision.

- Interior is beautiful. Options are endless
- Adjustable suspension is one of the best available. It is way more comfortable than previous Coopers and the Sport mode is noticeably sportier
- Top end power is excellent
- Mileage is amazing
- Styling, specially the rear is not attractive – two-tone paint in the back does not flow together at all.
- Rear window visibility is blocked by the big door bar going down the middle.
- Turbo Lag, lack of low end grunt and responsiveness, Engine growl is absent.
- Torque steer – When the turbo kicks in, the steering on this can be a handful. This is most pronounced while turning on rough roads. But even on smooth roads, torque steer is much more noticeable than the previous Mini Coopers
- There's just not enough additional room. Opting for the Clubman over the Mini Cooper may not be worthwhile.
- Extra door is present only on one side? This could be a major inconvenience with kids as the driver has to go to the other side of the car to open and close the door for them.
- So many interior quirks
1. Radio volume knob is way out of place. And it is very loose.
2. No steering wheel controls, cruise control, ipod at $30k
3. Signal light lever is electronic like BMW but does not stay on for 4 seconds for change lane when tapped
4. Center gauge is just huge
5. Passenger window has no auto-up even though driver side has it
6. Moonroof has no auto open or close
7. Several buttons that seem present but don't do anything
8. Trip computer controls/resets have to be accessed from the radio
Noticeably, my 'weaknesses' list is a bit longer than my 'strengths'. The good news is the major factors like performance, handling, mileage are in the high points of this car. This is one of the most powerful and economical cars that I have tried. When cruising at 70 mph, I averaged 41mpg on the freeway. At 80 mph, I got 36 mpg. On the performance side, the 0-60 acceleration figure of 6.7 is excellent. Finally, the adjustable suspension really works. The standard mode offers comfort during those freeway commutes and long drives. The Sport mode improves handling, turn-in and decreases body roll.
The downsides of this car are numerous but only a few of them are showstoppers. A lot of the quirks of this car come with the package and the enthusiastic Clubman fan will be able to overlook them. The key issue is space. If the whole issue of buying the Clubman is for increased space over the Mini, does it achieve that goal? We don't think so. There is little extra room for rear passengers and entry exit for them is hardly improved. Is there more room for cargo? Hardly.
The other issues for us are styling, torque steer, and bad rear visibility. The appeal of the Mini Cooper is that it looks good. This one does not. It is certainly unique. But the designers managed to detract from the nice lines of the beloved Mini Cooper. Torque steer is very noticeable as well under spirited driving. We feel that steering is the strongest suit of the Mini Cooper but one cannot overlook constant pull and kickback of the steering while driving aggressively on mountain roads. Finally, the rear window of this car is small and it is blocked by big door bars going right down the middle. Classic maybe, but certainly not functional.
This is a really stylish and eclectic car. It's different and it stands out and the ideal buyer values the style and lifestyle of the Mini Clubman. The car benefits from the power, handling and mileage of the new Mini Cooper line. But there are many weaknesses outlined above. We believe the key decision is the space. Given the compromises, does the Clubman deliver enough room to justify it's quirks. For us, it doesn't add up. We like the standard Cooper S just fine and if we want a little more room, there are many better options out there. But for the individual who likes Cooper line and wants to stand out from the rest and have a little extra room, this can be a unique solution.

The last few weeks have been a very active time for the Food Glorious Food project ...
Celebration Event - 6th July - County Hall
Last Wednesday was the final celebration event for our Food Glorious Food project. We spent the morning at County Hall, hearing from 5 of our project schools about their Food Glorious Food journey.
After an introduction to the project, each school gave a brilliant presentation on what they have been doing and learning over the last 6 months. Well done to all the children, who so bravely stood at the top of the chamber and spoke so clearly and confidently. Thank you in particular to St David's, who sent two lovely video presentations and a set of project learning journals to show in their absence. These were ably introduced by their local councillor, Cllr Luke Sills.
Over the course of the morning, we heard from pupils about researching foods, growing and looking after plants and visiting dairies (complete with amusing outfits!) There were smoothie-making sessions, farm visits, bread-making workshops and bug hotels. But the activity which appeared to be the most popular with the audience was the visit from a pupil's farm ducks, which all had marvellous names!
In between presentations, we did some food-related activities, such as determining the country of origin of popular foods, and calculating food miles in a family's breakfast (with only a few points of contention from the grown-ups). At lunchtime, we shared a picnic lunch and enjoyed vegetable-sorting relay races – categorising a box of veggies by their respective families. Root, salad or allium, anyone?!
It was very exciting for all of us to occupy the magnificent council chamber, and to be joined by a great number of special guests. These included various food professionals and project partners, in addition to numerous city and county councillors, all of whom came to celebrate the achievements of the young people they represent.
After break, we hosted a panel discussion with County Councillors Jill Owen and Andy Hannan, food issues expert and long-standing retired councillor Saxon Spence, and Food For Life Senior Programme Manager, Polly Frost. The panel answered a number of important and interesting questions from the children, including: "What can the council do to help people set up community gardens?" and the very intriguing enquiry "Who plants all the trees and bushes at the sides of the roads?"
The panel culminated with an open floor discussion around the question "If you had complete authority and unlimited budget to address food issues in
The morning culminated in the announcement of the gardening competition results. We were very privileged to be joined by the Right Worshipful the Lord Mayor of
We are now wrapping up round 1 of Food Glorious Food, ready to hopefully run the project again in the new academic year. Do get in touch if you're interested in being involved. All are welcome: schools, food producers, gardeners, members of the public.
Respect Festival 11th June 2016
We had a lovely time at the Respect Festival last weekend, hosting our very own Big Lunch as part of our Food Glorious Food project. We were joined by representatives from one of our project schools, in addition to almost 30 members of the public. The Big Lunch is envisaged as a "a simple act of community, friendship and fun" – and that's definitely what we had! We enjoyed delicious picnic food, and one of our attendants commented that she enjoyed "sharing food and conversation with friends". We're hoping to make the Big Lunch an annual part of DDE's Respect festival day – so make sure to come and join us next summer!
Asaph Gheno Were - May 2016
We've just finished a fantastic fortnight of school visits for the Food Glorious Food project with our visiting Ugandan headteacher, Asaph Gheno Were. Asaph leads one of DDE's link schools, Kisoko Boys' Primary School in Tororo (
We wanted to let our project schools here in
We began our days with some Ugandan greetings. We learnt a little Dhopadhola (the main language of Asaph's area), and some ways of saying 'thank you' or expressing your appreciation for something through your body: 'giving flowers', a 'thunderclap' or clicking and stamping. Most of the children thought they were much more fun than a boring round of applause!
Next we used eagle eyes and curious, critical minds to examine photographs and ask insightful questions about Asaph's school. Did you know… each class has over 100 children, they have a completely democratically elected school council, and every child in the school works on the farm?!
We then learnt about traditional Ugandan crops, including how they are farmed, and tickled our tastebuds cooking some traditional 'posho and beans',. This is a meal comprised of maize porridge and a tomato-based bean stew. It received mixed receptions – but overall, most people liked it! Almost all the children were brave and tasted something new.
We looked at some Ugandan food diaries, and compared what the children there eat with what we eat here in the
We also got our hands dirty making 'bag gardens': a glorified version of a gro-bag, made from a sugar sack, and featuring plants growing out of the top and sides of the bag. These are very common and popular in
Over the course of the day, we compared what we were seeing, doing and learning about
We had a wonderful time bringing together Asaph with the Food Glorious Food schools. Plenty was learnt and enjoyed – by the pupils, and by Asaph himself, who intends to take what he has learnt from our schools back to his school.
More to come!
Digging Day - 18 April 2016
Last Monday, Nicole (our Project Coordinator) joined Montgomery Primary School to help dig over an area for a veg patch in their local park.The vegetable garden will be shared with green-fingered members of the St Thomas community - thank you to John Taylor from the St Thomas Community Association for suggesting the shared growing space. Well done on your hard work digging Montgomery! A big thank you goes to all the staff and parents who helped out, and to our little furry friend, who did some excellent digging - shame it wasn't in the right place though!
Read about Montgomery School's blog about the digging day and their community-shared veg patch here.
Ugandan teacher visiting in May
Back in the office, we're busy planning the visit of Asaph Gheno Were, the headteacher of one of our Ugandan link schools. Asaph will be coming to visit all of the Glorious Food Groups in May, and running some exciting activities based around Ugandan foods and veg-growing. Watch this space!
Food activities and gardening getting underway - April 2016
Lots has been happening with the Food Glorious Food Project over the last few weeks. Montgomery spread the Fair Trade message through a whole-school assembly based on their learning at last month's Fair Trade spices workshop. Willowbrook and St Martin's Primary Schools have both been visited by the Love Local Food mobile shop. The children took part in a variety of fun food activities, including making kale smoothies, constructing human bar charts of shopping habits, discussing food journeys, and making an Exeter food map. You can read more about their fantastic visits here (scroll down for the right posts!)
Lots of our schools have been preparing gardens and planting vegetables for the gardening competition; Wynstream have even constructed a greenhouse!
Fairtrade Fortnight - March 2016
After a busy few weeks of planning and recruiting schools, we ran our first project activity: a workshop on Fairtrade and spices. DDE is chair of Fairtrade Devon, and we ran this workshop to coincide with Fairtrade Fortnight. We welcomed staff and pupils from 7 of our 9 participating primary schools: Montgomery, Whipton Barton, St Davids, Wynstream, Redhills, Ladysmith Junior, and St Martins Cranbrook. The workshop was led by Sandhya Dave, with additional activities run by DDE volunteers.
Read about Montgomery School's impressions of the workshop here.
After learning about the importance of the Fairtrade scheme and its impact on communities in the developing world, the children heard some "Spicey Stories". Sandhya wove together information about popular spices with the story of her own family's journey to
Finally, the group enjoyed a series of sense-based activities: examining, identifying, touching, smelling, tasting and discussing a series of different spices in their raw, refined, and processed forms. Most pupils enjoyed the black-pepper crisps and vanilla ice cream, but the crystallised ginger was less popular; boiling hot mouths sent many children running for water! Suffice to say, our intern Liam has been enjoying the rejected packet of ginger in the office this week…

I just pushed version 2.0.2 live. It is an update to the Chrome extension and the App Engine server. Basically, it fixes the bug wherein links would open multiple times. I ended up switching away from storing the last link received's ID in the Chrome extension and then simply telling the server to send every link sent after that to have the Chrome extension send the server a message every time it receives a link, confirming that it did receive the link, and then storing that information on the server. Therefore, you should never see a link twice.
I apologise for all the recent problems we've been having. I know there's one other issue that can occur if you type a link into the Android app manually (the Page Not Found error), but it's 2:30 in the morning here, and I need sleep. So I'll be fixing that one soon. In the meantime, just use the Share button to send links, or make sure you include http:// when typing in links.

Tech seemed to have reclaimed its leadership position among stocks on Thursday, after about a week of declines. The sector's strong balance sheets, China prospects, growth potential and ability to attract investors played a big role in the market's recent two-month rally. But when that gave way, tech took down almost every other group with it.
Interestingly enough, this trend is typical. Cramer mentioned that sell-offs often start when the strongest group stumbles and end when it regains its footing. He thinks that something similar happened today.
"Tech's strength," he said, "showed us the pullback might be over."
A different vanguard led the pack this time around. While semiconductors sparked the rally that started in early March, spending in capital equipment, cloud computing, advertising and IT drove stocks on Thursday. Mergers and acquisitions are picking up as well, and the market got help from usual suspects Apple , Google , Research in Motion and Amazon .
That's not to discount the semis entirely. In fact, Cramer endorsed both Intel and AMD. Nor should investors assume the rally's back on and that there's no need for caution. Just yesterday Washington reared its meddlesome head, sending stocks downward. That could just as easily happen again.
But Cramer's 30 years on Wall Street tell him that tech took a stand today, which should mean the end of this most recent sell-off. That, he said, is reason to be at least somewhat bullish.
Watch the video for Cramer's full report on tech's resurgence, including calls on Verizon Communications , Salesforce.com , VMware and more.

Tom Hanks has spoken out to condemn the actions of a man who was caught on camera standing next to the actor at a fundraising event wearing black face make-up, calling the incident "hideously offensive".
A video from 2004 has surfaced showing Hanks and Eagles rocker Glenn Frey taking part in a charity auction for St. Matthew's Parish School in Pacific Palisades, California.
In the footage, the stars are shown standing next to a man who has painted his face black, and the video has infuriated officials at a conservative group called the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE).
CORE officials have even urged President Barack Obama to stop Hanks from narrating his documentary The Road We've Traveled, which focuses on the politician's first term in office.
CORE spokesman Niger Innis says, "I call upon President Obama, who has Tom Hanks doing narration to his campaign video, to cease, to remove Mr. Hanks' voice-over from his video, and end any association or affiliation with Mr. Hanks."
The Hollywood actor has now addressed the controversy and spoken out against the actions of the man in the video.
He says in a statement, "In 2004, I was blindsided when one of the parents got up on the stage in a costume that was hideously offensive then and is hideously offensive now. What is usually a night of food and drink for a good cause was, regrettably, marred by an appalling few moments."

Ms. Peta-Gay Lewis grew up knowing that she wanted to be a homeowner.
Ms. Lewis, who grew up in Ward 5, recently purchased a five-bedroom home in Ivy City. Becoming a homeowner culminates a long journey. When Ms. Lewis realized that her credit was not where it needed to be to obtain financing, she diligently worked to improve her credit score. After making some improvements to her credit on her own, she began working with Housing Counseling Services, where she took pre-purchase classes for the Home Purchase Assistance Program (HPAP).
In 2011, Ms. Lewis learned about the DHCD's Ivy City Special Demonstration Project, which is creating 58 new opportunity for homeownership in Ivy City. Ms. Lewis worked with the Latino Economic Development Corporation to complete her application for the HPAP program, and then placed a contract on one of the Mi Casa, Inc.'s Ivy City homes.
Mayor Vincent C. Gray celebrated the completion of Mi Casa's units at a ribbon cutting in January 2011. The event was held at Ms. Lewis' home; she moved in later that month.
The dream of homeownership became reality through coordinated efforts among District agencies: Ms. Lewis not only used HPAP, but also received at first-trust mortgage through the DC Housing Finance Agency's Bond Program. By purchasing one of the Ivy City homes with the DCHFA's first-trust and DHCD's second-trust, Ms. Lewis financed her entire purchase through DC Government programs.
It is the little things that makes homeownership all the more important. "I grew up in a house," says Ms. Lewis. "I wanted my kids to have the same opportunity. I wanted them to be able to have colored walls and enjoy being in a home."

So, I'm sorry this post went up twice without being finished. That's what happens when you schedule a blog that isn't done yet, and then get too busy to finish it. Alas, here is this week's five things in their actual form.
1. Netflix on XBOX 360 – The first two of this week's five things require credit being given to Waldo, who blogged about each of them himself, in a single post no less, quite recently.
I'd been one of the seeming few who held out with Blockbuster Video's online rental plan while it seemed most had jumped ship to Netflix. The ability to walk into a store to trade a mailer in while receiving an in-store rental plus another mailer was too good to pass up. Yet, now that I finally got my XBOX Live working (thanks in no part to the people of Microsoft's customer service), Netflix has a new advantage for it in that I can watch HD movies. We don't have a Bluray player, so the fact that on our 360 we can watch available films in HD is sweeeeet! It was enough to get us on board for a free two week trial.
It's only been about a week, but I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
2. King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters – Again, Waldo already blogged about this one. I finally saw it myself, and I'm glad I did. It's a documentary, the story of a guy who can't seem to catch a break in life, who tries to acheive the highest score on the classic Donkey Kong arcade game. The primary challenge is that a remarkably arrogant, unintentionally hilarious man name Billy Mitchell has held the record for two decades and is best friends with the organization who keeps track of these types of records.
A little bonus is that the hero of the film is from Redmond, WA, so it was like rooting for the hometown guy.
If you haven't seen it, check it out!
3. Assassin's Creed
My sister-in-law bought this game for me for Christmas, and let me tell you, it's awesome!
When I was in second grade, our teacher asked our whole class what we wanted to be when we grew up. She made a list, then had us draw pictures of said profession and put them in the hallway for our parents to see when they came in for the school's open house. When it came to my turn, I boldly declared that I wanted to be a Ninja when I grew up. So, in the midst of all the crayon drawings of doctors and firefighters, my parents had to look at future Scott, dressed all in black, with a bloody katana blade in each hand.
My dream was of silently slipping through the shadows and taking the lives of my enemies. Assassin's Creed makes that dream come true.
Sure, I may have grown up to be a man who doesn't believe in war, who rants and rails against the myth of redemptive violence to all who will listen. But, somewhere deep inside there is still an assassin my friends, and as Assassin's Creed's hero Alta'ir, that internal assassin moves across the rooftops of the Middle East during the crusades and kills with no discrimination.
It doesn't hurt that the game is visually beautiful, especially in HD!
I highly encourage anyone in the area who is interested to come over and give it a try. Austin, Tim, Brent… you know you want to.
4. Where The Wild Things Are – Most of you probably remember this children's book. By this point you may or may not know that Spike Jonze is directing a film based on the book. I wasn't sure what to think, but I must confess, these recent promotional photos make me happy: (Please excuse the fairly lame skateboard theme of the promotion)
5. My New Scarf – My friend KJ makes scarves, and recently she made me one. I won a silent auction at the MHGS Christmas party for it. I'll have a link coming soon to show you all, so there is more to come on this one.

Institutionalizing Organizational Competence: Olivetti's Transition From Mechanical To Electronic Technology < Volver
26/04/2013 Barcelona/Madrid
Barcelona: Aula G-101 / Madrid: Sala127
This historical case study of Italian office products firm Olivetti develops an institutional account of competence-destroying technological change. It argues that this type of organizational change is challenging because competences become socially embedded over time as they are legitimized, backed by powerful agents, and supported by resources. However, the study also shows how the institutional building blocks of legitimacy, power, and resources not only promote stability but also permit change. Paradoxically, a block in the incumbent institution can lay the foundation for its alternative through four levers of technological transition: organizational separation, cooptation, exploiting contradictions and dissensus, and resource diverting.

text: CLASSICAL Trumpet Concertos: Haydn, Hummel, L. Mozart. Wynton Marsalis, trumpet. National Philharmonic Orchestra, Raymond Leppard conductor. (CBS Masterworks Digital IM 37846.) Marsalis's reputation as a jazz master (see the jazz section of this guide) has received the most attention until now, but the same vigor shoots through his classical interpretations. Indeed, his mastery of classical idioms (at least the late-18th-century sort) seems to draw strength from the same wellspring of energy and technical command that nourishes his improvised work. His tone is full and true, rich in the lower registers and bright up above; his embellishments (especially in the final movements of the Mozart and Hummel works) burst into bloom without tripping the melodic flow for an instant; his rhythmic sense remains sharp in all tempos. Still in his early 20s and already a veteran of major orchestras - not to mention his experience with some of the most imposing talents of modern jazz - Marsalis has an unbounded future before him. One facet of it is crisply captured in these appealing performances, energetically abetted by Leppard's sympathetic conducting.

By Peter Lindblad
From his onstage chair during the 2007 Crossroads Concert put on by Eric Clapton, Winter swung open the doors on a jailbreak of mean chord combinations and hell-spawned solos in an apocalyptic cover of Bob Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited" that dazed all who witnessed it. In typical fashion, the understated Winter doesn't gloat about the display. He was just happy to be there.
"It was great performing among the artists that got together at that concert," says Winter. "Performing with both Derek [Trucks] on 'Highway 61' and with Eric on 'Sweet Home Chicago' was a blast, not to mention all the musician friends that came to my tour bus to visit all day."
An electrifying guitarist whose Texas blues roots run deep, Winter has played just about everywhere in his long career, from the lowest dive bars to sprawling outdoor venues. No matter what condition the place was in, Winter has always given all he has to give.
"It's all good," says Winter. "I just love to play and sticking to my blues allows me to play a huge variety of places, from those rich in blues history to large concert halls and everything in between."
The product of a musical upbringing, Winter and his brother, Edgar, both of whom have albinism, began performing at an early age. By the time Winters was 15, the two brothers were already recording with their band Johnny and The Jammers, putting out "School Day Blues" on a Houston label.
Winter calls his childhood "pretty normal," adding that, "I listened to as much blues as I could. Yes, I was in my first band when I was 15, listening to rock 'n' roll like early Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, etc. We put out a record right away."
There's never been anything "normal" about Winter's live performances. From the days when he and Edgar were kicking around local clubs in Texas through his scintillating performance at Woodstock, Johnny Winter and his fiery chops have torched concert halls, leaving them in smoking ruins, while simultaneously evoking memories of Muddy Waters, B.B. King and Robert Johnson. And now, Friday Music is doing its part to preserve Winter's concert legacy by releasing Johnny Winter's Live Bootleg Series Volume 1.
Culled from Winter's own archive of classic shows collected from 40 years of road work, Volume 1 is a thrilling documentation of Winter's legendary performances from the '70s. His backing band for these blazing bonfires of blues-stoked rock 'n' roll consisted of bassist Jon Paris and drummer Bobby T.
Backed by this propulsive, rhythmic freight train, Winter serves up a greasy plate of feverish improvisation and joyous hymns to whatever unseen creator that bestowed these gifts to him. A brawling, muscular take on "Rollin' And Tumblin'" and a napalm-spewing version of The Rolling Stones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash" highlight the set, along with a smoldering reading of "Stranger" and a rollicking romp through "Johnny B. Goode."
Winter is impressed with the sonic quality of this recording.
"I'm real happy with the release," he says. "It's the first in a series of many of my performances over the years from my private collection, and thanks to Friday Music, these shows now get out to my fans. Volume 1 came out very well sound-wise. It's a great mix overall."
And it stands up to any of the live albums that dot the charred landscape of Winter's recorded output, such as 1971's gold seller Live/Johnny Winter And, 1973's Still Alive And Well — his highest-charting album — and 1976's Captured Live!
Not merely markers on the dusty backroads and highways Winter has traveled, they document the incredible spontaneity and barely harnessed power of one of the greatest guitar gunslingers ever. It took awhile for the world to recognize what a phenomenon he would become, however.
In the years leading up to 1968, Winter was trying to make a name for himself with a threesome that included bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Uncle John Turner. Then, he caught the ear of a Rolling Stone writer who wrote an article on Winter. His brand of white lightning began to get noticed. That year, Winter played with Jimi Hendrix at The Scene club in New York City, owned by Winter's manager, Steve Paul.
"I was very impressed. He was an excellent guitar player," says Winter. "It was great to play with somebody that good."
Known for delivering the goods every time out, Winter landed a chance to play Woodstock in 1969. He took the place of none other than Hendrix, who had turned down the gig.
"There's a saying going around that if you really played Woodstock, the memories are blurry," jokes Winter. "Let's put it this way: I don't remember a thing (laughs)! I knew it was going to be bigger than the 150,000 seaters we were playing. I played Jimi's offered time slot on Sunday night at around midnight. There was no rain and it was packed."
Further clouding Winter's memory was a drug habit that was growing out of control. Eventually, he'd kick his addiction, and that's one of the things he's most proud of.
"I was doing heroin for a while, and it was really bad for me," says Winter. Of why he wanted to quit, Winter matter of factly states, "I just really wanted to."
Even as the addiction was taking him over, Winter was gaining national acclaim.
In 1969, Winter's self-titled album reached the charts and Winter, who would form another band with hot-shot guitarist Rick Derringer in the early '70s, saw his star rise with the release of his live work. With his career in overdrive, Winter met and worked with some of the legendary artists in blues and rock, including his idol, Muddy Waters. As Winter's own work went in more of a blues direction later in the '70s, he also produced several albums by Waters.
When asked if he incorporated many elements of Waters' guitar work into his own playing, Winter, who still reveres the man and the artist, said, "Not that much, but I loved Muddy. He just had a great voice. Good slide guitar player," says Winter.
Into the '80s, Winter continued to blaze his own bluesy trail, recording for blues label Alligator for three releases and then moving over to MCA and Pointblank/Virgin. The new millennium saw Alligator release a best-of collection of Winter's work with the label in 2001 called Deluxe Edition. Then, Columbia/Legacy put out the Best of Johnny Winter in 2002 that spanned his 1969-71 period. More reissued material followed, with Fuel 2000 collecting his earliest recordings on 2003's Winter Essentials and Sony reissuing his 1969 self-titled effort with bonus tracks.
Today, there is a new book in the works about Winter's life and Gibson has put out a Johnny Winter guitar. And, of course, he's still playing live, with a band that includes guitarist Paul Nelson, bassist Scott Spray and drummer Tony Beard.
Is there anything left for him to do, or are there people he wants to play with that he hasn't already?
"That's a hard one. I think I've covered them all," he says with a smile.

not just a movement disorder. Besides causing tremors
and other motion-related symptoms, Parkinson's
disease affects memory, learning, and behavior.
to Article >>
is a neurotransmitter,
one of the chemicals that neurons
use to communicate with each other.
In the body, acetylcholine is the primary
neurotransmitter which nerves use to signal muscles to initiate
or cease movement. Botulinism toxin, the substance that causes
botulism, works by preventing the release of acetylcholine
in the body; this can paralyze respiratory muscles, causing
suffocation and death. The venom of the black widow spider
causes an equally lethal overrelease of acetylcholine -- flooding
the system.
In the brain, acetylcholine is produced
in several locations including the basal
forebrain. It may promote learning. Acetylcholine-producing
cells in the basal forebrain are damaged in the early stages
of Alzheimer's disease,
which may contribute to the memory impairments which are an
early symptom of the disease. The drugs tacrine (brand name
Cognex) and donepezil (trade name Aricept), currently marketed
as Alzheimer's drugs, are cholinesterase
inhibitors, meaning that they increase the effectiveness
of acetylcholine in the brain.

Cowboys' Brent indicted on manslaughter charge
While his Dallas Cowboy teammates prepare for their battle against the Washington Redskins on Sunday with the winner clinching the NFC East title, Josh Brent is in for a much tougher battle.
A grand jury in Texas formally indicted the Cowboys nose tackle on Wednesday on one count of intoxication manslaughter. Brent is charged in connection with a Dec. 8 crash that killed his friend, Cowboys practice squad member Jerry Brown.
Brent is out of jail on $100,000 US bond.
Police in Irving, Tex., say Brent was speeding when his vehicle slammed into a curb and flipped over. Brown was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Intoxication manslaughter carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
Officials indicate no court dates have been scheduled. Brent could be eligible for probation but it is far too soon to speculate on that.
Arian Foster apparently is ready to rumble again.
Coming off an irregular heartbeat that caused him to leave Houston's 23-6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Foster returned to practice Wednesday and has been given the medical green light to play. As a result, the stud running back is expected to be back in the Houston Texans' lineup for their Week 17 showdown with the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday.
"Arian's fine," coach Gary Kubiak told the team's official website. "He's been cleared. Took all his normal reps he would take on a Wednesday."
It was the second time that Foster has suffered an irregular heartbeat.
The Texans can clinch home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs with a win, so Foster should get a heavy workload against the Colts. If the Texans jump out to a big lead early on, Kubiak could then opt to rest him.
Upset that his image has taken an unfair hit, Tim Tebow denies reports he told Jets coach Rex Ryan he no longer would take part in the wildcat.
Admitting he was frustrated at being passed over in favour of Greg McElroy to start against the Chargers last weekend, Tebow tried to set the record straight with reporters in New York on Wednesday.
"You work your whole life to build a reputation," Tebow said. "Then people try to bring you down when they don't understand even what happened. It's disappointing. You just want to express your side of the story."
Tebow added that Ryan might have "misinterpreted" what he said during a meeting with the head coach last week. Either way, it appears Tebow's days in New York are coming to an end, with Jacksonville the most rumoured landing spot.
Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis was activated by the team on Wednesday but is not expected to play against the Bengals Sunday, He could return the following week for Baltimore's wildcard game … Chicago defensive tackle Henry Melton does not like the Lions, the Bears opponents on Sunday. "They're dirty. They've always been a dirty team since I've been here," Melton told ESPN Chicago.

- Batting Gloves The Batting gloves are perfect to use for games or practice. They are extremely comfortable and durable. Our batting gloves feature an adjustable wrist strap so they can be adjusted to fit nice and snug on your hand for a comfortable fit. Our batting gloves are made from Cabretta Sheepskin leather for optimal flexibility and comfort. The mesh backing around the knuckles allows you to move and flex your fingers freely without adding stress to the leather. This not only allows for a better grip on the bat, but it also makes the gloves more durable as it eliminates much of the stress on the leather that can cause tears. The mesh is also vented to allow moisture and heat to be directed away from the fingers, never compromising your grip on the bat. The palm of the batting glove is constructed of premium grade sheepskin leather. This leather gives a great grip while maintaining it's flexibility. The Batting Glove was designed with you, the player, in mind.

In a week or so, state Sen. Todd Gardenhire plans to introduce legislation that will take some political bravery. His bill deals with a politically emotional topic -- the kind we yell at the TV about -- and is not necessarily along party lines. It may not even be the most popular idea -- at least just yet -- among his constituents.
"This won't benefit Todd Gardenhire one bit," he said Monday.
So why do it? Who does benefit?
"Kids," he said.
Gardenhire, wonderfully, is becoming a leading legislator regarding Tennessee's education policy. He recently introduced a bill that would allow born-in-America-children of illegal immigrants to qualify for in-state college tuition at a public college.
"I've got 18,000 Latino households in my district," he said. "On Saturday at 5 p.m., go down here to the East Lake Community Center and you'll find classes going on. ... It's packed out. These kids want an education. It's amazing what they want and what we won't give them."
His next bill is even more transformative. It's the same idea -- in-state tuition at a public college -- with one change.
"Anybody that is not a Tennessee resident, a U.S. citizen or not," said Gardenhire. "If they've gone to school here for five years, I say let them go ahead and pay in-state tuition."
You may not be a U.S. citizen.
Your parents may be undocumented immigrants.
But as long as you can prove you've been in Tennessee schools for five years, and you can maintain a GPA worthy of a Hope Scholarship, then the price tag for college becomes a reasonable, instead of out-of-reach, out-of-state tuition.
"Anybody," he said.
Gardenhire's philosophy has two planks. The first is economic: as a sales-tax state, we grow when people spend more. And having more college-educated students increases the spending in the state. And from a sales-tax-perspective, immigrants -- undocumented or not -- are contributing just like everyone else.
"They're paying sales tax," he said. "They're being taxed without representation."
Forget the right-wrong argument on immigration. Just view it as an economic issue.
Not long ago, Gardenhire studied a Heritage Foundation graph that illustrates how much money that citizens without high school degrees cost the government. His bill would reverse the negative drain by increasing the number of college students who not only contribute socially but financially as well.
"If you move them up that spectrum and get them educated they become a positive cash flow into the system," Gardenhire said.
Offering in-state tuition creaks open the door for a more perfect Tennessee. Like Bush's compassionate conservatism, this bill would hold students responsible -- you have to maintain a respectable GPA -- while also being merciful: College becomes a real possibility. It honors what we hold dear in America.
"They want to get ahead. They want to pay taxes. They want to become mainstream. And we're not letting them," he said. "I don't think that is right. That's not the way I was raised."
Gardenhire, who traces part of his heritage to the Cherokee Nation, said a foundational moment came during his childhood when his dad gave him a copy of "The Education of Little Tree."
The book -- its author became a source of great controversy in recent years -- would influence the young Gardenhire in ways no other book ever would.
"That book really set the tone of how I feel on these issues," he said. "[The protagonist] got all kind of stuff heaped on him. That touched me. I see a chance to do something about it and I'm going to do it."
The bill reminds us of the power of good legislation. More kids would reach college, which trickles down into the maturation and financial stability of our own society. It's forward-leaning, seeking to positively respond to the negatives surrounding immigration issues.
And it's fair.
"Only in North Korea do we punish families for what the father did," he said. "We don't do that here in America."
And the kids who would benefit from this bill?
"They didn't do anything wrong," he said.
What a lesson.

Nigel Adkins has warned Sheffield United will come unstuck if they treat Blackpool with contempt at Bramall Lane tomorrow, writes James Shield.
The visitors, who were relegated from the Championship last term, travel to South Yorkshire searching for their first win of the new season with manager Neil McDonald acknowledging that "pressure" is already building behind the scenes.
With Blackpool also beset by off-the-pitch problems, Adkins has admitted he wants United to exploit any sign of weakness by imposing themselves on the game but insisted: "We respect the opposition, you have to, and we have done our research on them.
"We are under no illusions, every game is a challenge in this division. Blackpool will be energetic, Neil McDonald has come in, and Blackpool were in the Premier League a couple of years ago.
"We have to give them the utmost respect, but make sure we go an impose ourselves and do what we want to throughout the course of the match."
United enter the match having won their last three outings in all competitions and Adkins added: "Our momentum is building and we have got honest, hard-working professionals at Sheffield United."

Formed: 1997
From: Oslo, Norway
Last Known Status: Active
1349, named for the year the plague hit Norway in the 14th Century, found immediate cult status with the recording and release of their self-titled mini-album in 2001. Word of mouth spread like the plague about the band's musical offering, and Frost, who initially joined the group as a session musician, would later ask to become a permanent member. Vocalist Ravn, guitarists Tjalve and Archaon, and bassist Seidemann agreed and 1349 was complete. The band signed to Candlelight Records in late 2002.
- 8 1349 Releases
- 2 Staff reviews

Please bear with us as we continue to work on updating band discographies.
1349 - "Massive Cauldron of Chaos"
1349 - "Hellvetia Fire - The Offiicial 1349 Bootleg"
1349 - "Demonoir"
"1349 returns to form on 'Demonoir' and proves that their last album was nothing more than a slight misstep."
1349 - "Revelations Of The Black Flame"
"A lot of potential for a solid album, but 1349 stumbles a lot, resulting in a mediocre follow-up to 'Hellfire.'"
