Picture discs are often the greatest treasures in a record collector's set. They sometimes give a little more than just your typical liner notes, and something to hypnotically watch rotate besides a slab of black wax. Most are pretty plain, but there are quite a number that are such eye candy, you'd have to stop yourself not to take a bite of them.
I'd like to showcase 20 beauties that I think are great examples of what many would want when they get their hands on one. I hold no one particular record higher than another, so I'll just go about it alphabetically...
Speaking of beauties, I'm starting it all off with Bananarama, which began as a punk-y female trio of friends who got into the industry by performing as backup singers for acts like The Jam, Iggy Pop, and The Monochrome Set. They forged off on their own in 1981 with their debut single, "Aie a Mwana," and scored a Top 10 in the U.K. the following year with "It Ain't What You Do." Lots of folks couldn't resist the charms of three amazing babes, so you can't blame London Records for releasing their 1985 single, "Do Not Disturb," in three separate versions, each with a photo of one of the pop bombshells.
Interestingly enough, Bananarama is currently listed in The Guinness Book of World Records as having the most entries, for an all-female group, in music charts worldwide.
In 1987, CBS produced a picture disc for NYC's Beastie Boys that probably wouldn't fly well today, but is still a pretty awesome looker, taking the artwork of the cover of their Licensed to Ill LP and turning it into a wonderfully odd-shaped 7" player for "No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn."
The year before the Bananarama threesome, London Records put out a beautiful 7" picture disc for British synth-pop trio Bronski Beat's debut "Smalltown Boy."
The label signed the boys after only nine live shows, but it turned out they knew what they were doing, as Bronski Beat's first single was a hit, reaching #3 on the U.K. Singles Chart, and later reaching #48 in the U.S. and #7 in Australia (even though the song is about a gay man leaving his home due to homophobia).
The Illinois rock band Cheap Trick had been around since the early-'70s, and scored hits with "Surrender," "Voices," and "Dream Police" for Epic Records, but it wasn't until 1988 that the label gave the band a picture disc (only released in the U.K.) for their cover of Elvis Presley and Otis Blackwell's 1956 hit, "Don't be Cruel."
The artwork was designed by Tomcat Productions, under the direction of Sue Rush, who also did 7" art for Blue Öyster Cult, Billy Joel, and the hilariously-named The Flaming Mussolinis.
While most care for Corrosion of Conformity's early career in hardcore punk, many still enjoy this North Carolina band's trudge into the world of metal. Though I gave up on them after Animosity (1985), Columbia Records found them to be good enough to sign in 1993, and it paid off with Deliverance hitting the Billboard 200 at #155. After a decent return on their investment, their label thought to hook a few more fans with a sweet cut-out 7" for "King of the Rotten" in 1996.
Again, it served Columbia well, as the new album, Wiseblood, charted at #104, and was even nominated for "Best Metal Performance" at the 40th Grammy Awards (though Tool 's "Ænema" won).
Besides kick-ass psychobilly, Enigma Records knew The Cramps had two more things going for them: a built-in audience, and they are a record collector's dream. While they released 1989's Stay Sick album and the "All Women are Bad" single in picture disc, neither compare to the "Bikini Girls With Machine Guns" 7", if not just to watch Kristy Wallace (a.k.a. Poison Ivy/Ivy Rorschach) twirl on your turntable in a shiny and tiny two-piece.
Some of the records came in uncut 12" discs, so happy hunting for those!
While Danzig's "Mother" is a highly parodied number (and music video), it's still a great song, and its picture disc American Recordings put out in 1994 isn't bad either.
I love everything Divine has ever done, be it movies or music. Divine has the honor of being one of the first records put out by Chicago's infamous Wax Trax! Records ("Born to be Cheap" single, 1981). In 1982 he was asked by one of the founding fathers of Hi-NRG dance music, Bobby Orlando, to sing a few numbers he didn't want to pass onto his other project, The Flirts. In 1984, Divine sued Orlando and split for Barry Evangeli's Proto Records, who got Pete Ware to arrange a few songs. Though I love the work Harris Glenn Milstead did with Bobby Orlando much more, I certainly enjoy his later years with Ware. One such track was the pair's 1985 cover version of the 1963 The Four Seasons hit, "Walk Like a Man," which Proto released as a picture disc.
The Dream Academy is a band rarely remembered. Most have to be reminded that they once charted with their third single, "Life in a Northern Town" (1986), and no one recalls their amazingly bright picture disc first single on Blanco y Negro for "The Love Parade."
It's hard to stay in the limelight for many bands after their first chart-topper, and even though they had several TV appearances (including Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show, American Bandstand , and Top of the Pops), members went their separate ways in 1991 to work on solo careers. Can anyone cite those? I doubt it, so they should have kept well-enough going.
One of my favorite record store purchases as a young punk was Gang Green's skateboard-shaped 7" for "We'll Give it to You," which I bought for its awesome novelty, but almost as much for the B-side, "Skate to Hell."
Not sure why Roadrunner Records had to make a sub-label to release many acts that they put out (possibly for European distro, I guess), but this picture disc was released on Roadracer Records in 1989, and the Budweiser parody sticker reads: "Skate all day, drink all night, drunk and disorderly in Boston, MA."
German record label Nuclear Blast is known for some mind-blowing releases, but sonic output aside, their HammerFall picture disc must have been a pressing plant's nightmare.
Pressed for the Swedish power metal band's "Heeding the Call" EP in 1998, side one featured the first track off the Legacy of Kings album, plus one song ("Eternal Dark") only released for the Russian version of the Legacy LP, along with two live tracks on the other side.
British metal giants Iron Maiden have over two dozen picture discs, but none compare to the beauty that is "The Trooper" 7" from 1983.
Featuring the Derek Riggs artwork of the original 7" on side A, EMI Records made two versions of this disc: one with a "U" cut in the upper-right corner, and another with a "V" cut.
Motörhead is another band that has a nice handful of pic discs out, but in late-1990, Epic Records did a wonderful 7" run of "The One to Sing the Blues" to promote the opener off their then-upcoming 1991 LP, 1916.
My favorite band of all time, The Police, is an act that sometimes releases limited records for fans to go along with the usual fare A&M Records produced for the masses. Along with the double 10" version of Reggatta de Blanc (1979), their blue vinyl 7" six-pack (1980), and the half-speed mastered audiophile pressing of Ghost in the Machine (1981), they have a number of picture discs. The one I believe to be the best of them all is the 10" for "Don't Stand So Close to Me," whose artwork was later used for the 1993 Message in a Box: The Complete Recordings boxset.
A few would say I'm wrong, and believe "Roxanne/Can't Stand Losing You" is a better work of art, but that didn't make the cover of what represented their life's work, did it?
Canadian prog rock gods Rush had a beauty of a disc in 1982, when Mercury Records release the double A-side 7" for "Countdown/New World Man."
While the disc was used to promote Rush's Signals LP, the track "New World Man" was originally written as filler to even out the record's sides. It made it into the #1 slot for three weeks in Canada's RPM singles survey chart, and remains Rush's only Top 40 hit in the U.S., though that album's song "Subdivisions" got plenty of airplay on MTV at the time. In '83, "Countdown" reached #36 in the U.K.
BBC Recordings imprint Strange Fruit is best known for the early-1990s pressings of The Peel Sessions series, which were live recordings broadcast on DJ John Peel's famous BBC Radio 1 show. Normally consisting of four songs, many of the EPs were published with bland covers, but a few were spectacular items worthy of any collection. One such was the 1991 repressing of British alt-rock and goth-punk band Siouxsie and the Banshees' The Peel Sessions 1977-1978.
The awesomely pagan-looking EP had two tracks recorded in February 1978 on side one ("Hong Kong Garden" and "Suburban Relapse"), and two from November of '77 ("Carcass" and "Love in a Void") on side two. It was pressed in a limited quantity of 2,500 copies, and remains one of The Peel Sessions' most sought after releases.
The Stranglers are not only one of the longest-running bands to come out of the U.K.'s punk scene, but they have one of the most gorgeous picture discs around. Forming in 1974, and originally called The Guildford Stranglers, they hit the scene running with their 1977 debut, Rattus Norvegicus, followed by two more albums (No More Heroes and Black and White)—all within two years. They have 23 Top 40 singles in the U.K., along with 17 U.K. Top 40 LPs. Their picture 10" single for "Always the Sun" was released in 1986, and while it keeps the Mayan-styled pop art (by an uncredited artist) from the 12", it does not contain the live track, "Souls," found on that version.
The Untouchables (not the D.C. punk band fronted by Ian MacKaye's brother, Alec) is credited as the United States' first ska band. They began in 1981 as part of the U.S. mod revival, thanks to a stable rotation of Madness, The Specials, and The Jam on early MTV. In 1983, their second single's B-side, "The General," became a minor hit around L.A. Soon, the band was asked to play it live in the 1984 comedy, The Party Animal. Later that year, the band appeared as a scooter gang in Alex Cox's cult flick Repo Man, and the exposure got them noticed by Stiff Records, who signed them. Strangely, I'm not sure when the label released the band's first single for them if Stiff understood the bizarre double entendre produced by their choice of pictures for the "Free Yourself" pic disc.
The Newcastle, England label Neat Records is best known for releasing a lot of what became known as the New Wave of British Heavy Metal in the early-'80s. They also have the dubious honor of picking up the thrash metal band Venom, who coined the term "black metal." Just before the release of the band's At War With Satan LP (1984) came the Manitou EP. Originally containing three songs on a 12", the label put out a neat two-song picture disc 7" for the title track, "Manitou," featuring the band's goat-faced logo.
Earlier, I mentioned the oft-forgotten The Dream Academy, but even fewer can recall Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction, so I leave things off on a trip down memory lane for club-goers of the late-'80s. Zodiac Mindwarp was the brainchild of the graphic artist and art editor of Flexipop magazine (1980 - 1983), Mark Manning. The Love Reaction consisted of pseudonymed players in over-the-top biker dress, playing up a hedonistic lifestyle to dance-rock rhythms—sort of like an early version of White Zombie. The band got a bit of notice in industrial dance clubs in the summer of '87 with their song "Prime Mover," which gained them a bit of indie press. However late, Mercury Records finally saw they had something, and released the album, Tattooed Beat Messiah, in 1988. They kept things going with single releases off the LP, such as the sweet picture disc for "Planet Girl."
Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction never recovered the momentum of their dancefloor hit, and almost went the way of the dodo. They released two more records (Hoodlum Thunder and One More Knife), but no one really noticed. In 2002, the band tried to make a comeback with I am Rock—and again in 2005 releasing Rock Savage—to even fewer giving a damn. In 2010, they tried one last time, picking up a heavy dose of Norse mythology on We are Volsung, but failed to gain many new fans.
The love of a good record often goes beyond just sound, and the tangibility of a record can lend to the experience. Whether it's reading the liner notes or just looking at pretty pictures while listening, the picture disc is an artifact that could never be replaced by downloading, and is an object that—hopefully—will never disappear.

Presentation on Religious Indoctrination
On Sunday, July 25, Grant Steves gave perhaps his last public presentation for Minnesota Atheists, before he moves to Wisconsin in September. Speaking to about 40 attendees at the Golden Valley Library, Grant deconstructed the processes of religious conversion and deconversion, based on his personal journey as a Jehovah's Witness, Roman Catholic, and finally an atheist. He spoke in particular detail of the emotional context of conversion, and how cults are adept at manipulating new adherents with fear and release from crises in their lives.


text: Thanks to Bernie & Brett for their replies. I may have deciphered a bit more of what is going on. It seems that it is the aux vacuum pump that works the door locks that is drawing the 1A of current. If I wait long enough (15 min or so, wasn't waiting that long before) the current draw goes down to 0.1A or 0.05A if the alarm has actually locked the doors. Double checked this by pulling fuse 19 which powers the locks (per the fuse cover) and seeing the drop in current. In my previous testing, I did not have one door closed all the way and that caused the power locks to not work, which in turn seems to have kept the aux vacuum pump active for some time drawing current. A bit odd, but it seems that if one does not actually use the power locks to lock the doors (either with the alarm or by key), then this pump will continue drawing power for 10-15min before it shuts off. It's not making its noise all that time (up at 5A when you hear it) but it definitely seems to doing something in the silence afterwards. So, I am curious about this pump. Is it normal for it to stay active drawing 1A for 10-15min? What controls the logic for this thing? In the mean time, I will be locking my doors, and getting a load test for this batt.

While choosing topics for Hindi Projects , you should first decide what is the objective of 'project?' .
- If your objective is to increase vocabulary then 'Muhavare with their Meaning ' can be nice topic .
- If the objective of project is to develop writing skill then ' Report writing ', Dialogue writing ' or 'Essay writing ' can be better option for projects .
- If you want to develop communication skill ;then you may organize a debate competition for developing language skills .
- Language teachers can take #children to different language seminars or they can make their children witness the interviews of poets or writers .
- Language teachers themselves participate in different contests and share their experiences with the students .
While making projects one should always keep in mind the main theme of the projects , sometime we do more decoration and the main theme may remain untouched by the projects , so one needs to be more conscious about the main objective behind the projects .

Hi folks,
I've managed to get TigerVNC to work on the Touchpad, it'll require Xecutah and XServer, and for now Xterm so you can start the thing.
Prerequisites: Xexcutah, Xserver, Xterm - and if using the script in post 75, Bourne Again Shell. All available in Preware.
The attached .zip files in this thread must be renamed to .ipk, copied to /media/internal on the device and installed using Preware's 'Install Package' and Browse.
The pop-up menu has been remapped to be on the � key (press and hold R key) as the Touchpad keyboard is missing F8. I'm aware this isn't sensible for some Bluetooth keyboards so there's a new menu option that allows you to choose your menu key between F8, � and ~ (� being the default with the onscreen keyboard, ~ if using Bluetooth).
EDIT (moving): Post 116 has the latest 0.2.6 .ipk attached now with added right-click goodness, while Post 75 contains instructions on tweaking Xecutah to see it (post 8 has an earlier build, left in place because the newer one may not run on older WebOS kit.)
Please note that after tweaking Xecutah to recognise this, either Luna needs restarting or your Touchpad rebooting.

2013 AFWA Grant Winner: Confituras
Earlier this year, the Austin Food & Wine Alliance announced their 2013 grant recipients – Confituras, Blacklands Malt, Salt & Time and Skinny Lane Farm. As the primary beneficiary, Confituras has a number of exciting plans to impact Austin's food landscape, helping to shape and share its story. We caught up with Confituras founder, Stephanie McClenney, to get the scoop on her plans.
AFWF: How did you get into making jams and the art of preserves?
Stephanie McClenney: Cooking has been a love and creative outlet for me for quite some time. Learning to preserve was a natural way of exploring and mastering not only another cooking method, but also the notion of extending seasonality. What started as a desire to can an extraordinarily large amount of tomatoes, has turned into a profound career change that has changed my life – I feel so lucky!
What is the best part of being part of Austin's food entrepreneur community?
There are so many aspects that appeal to me in terms of being involved with Austin's food community. The most important is just that – the sense of community I feel. From the farmers we buy fruit from, to the local stores that retail our preserves, to the chefs and other food artisans who pour their heart and soul into their small businesses, to the customers we are fortunate enough to interact with each week at the farmers' market – it is a total love fest all around!
You've said that you're going to use the AFWA grant to implement programs that will ultimately change the way Central Texas thinks about preserving. What part of that education process are you tackling first and how?
We are beyond thrilled that the AFWA has deemed us worthy recipients of their most generous grant this year in the area of innovation and community in the culinary and beverage arts. We think the AFWA is as excited about our Preserving Austin Project as we are! We intend to start this project by beginning an oral history project interviewing preservers in the Austin and Central Texas area – we hope to share their stories of canning and preserving and show that there are many types of folks who preserve and for many different reasons. We truly believe that canning and preserving is not just a trend. The more that folks care about what they eat and from where it is sourced, the more that seasonal canning will be a natural outgrowth of these tenets.
Can you tell us a little about the Preserving Austin Project?
We hope to move our oral histories into an archive at the University of Texas with the help of Foodways Texas, now in the American Studies department at UT. This way, they will be saved for generations to enjoy. The next step in the Preserving Austin Project is to outfit our VW transporter van to include a recording booth for recording the oral histories, a small demo kitchen to demonstrate and promote preserving the harvest, and vintage canning equipment to display and show how canning has changed through the years. The final step is to take this 'mobile canning museum' to schools, fairs, and other events to promote preserving.
Ok, let's talk jams. Which seasonal offerings are you most excited about? What can festival-goers look forward to sampling at your booth in the Grand Tasting?
Of course we love all of our preserves so it's hard to choose, but we do get seasonal 'crushes' on certain jams. It's difficult not to be completely infatuated with strawberries in the Spring in Texas! Look for plenty of strawberry offerings at the grand tasting event as well as wine jellies made from local wine plus a few surprises – we hope to see y'all there!
As the beneficiary of the Austin Food & Wine Festival, the Austin Food & Wine Alliance (AFWA) relies on a portion of festival proceeds to support its culinary grant program, educational programming, fundraising events and operations. As a 501c3 nonprofit, the AFWA hosts two signature fundraising culinary events each year with Live Fire! and Wine & Swine. In addition, the Alliance is committed to inspiring and supporting high school culinary students by annually hosting Central Texas' first Culinary Arts Career Conference with more than 500 students being able to attend at no cost.

Marston's marketing director Peter Jackson said: "Sponsoring the Sky World Cup coverage reflects our aim to support cricket and its fans wherever and whenever possible. This is a logical extension of our commitments, which include the official beer of the England cricket team and sponsorship of eight county clubs and four Test match grounds."
The brand has also signed a three-year deal to become the supplier of beer to English Test Match Grounds, which gives it rights to perimeter branding, boards behind the wicket and poster sites and international cricket fixtures.
Sky sponsorship head David Shore said: "The ICC World Cup is cricket's biggest event and I'm delighted that Marston's shares with us the excitement and passion of what should be a fantastic seven weeks of cricket."

I totally agree with you. All that they say in advertisement is just rubbish. Even I prefer to give my dog home made food.
http://www.healthproductreviewers.com/l … eview.html
Making homemade dog food is not hard, but will take some time and effort. There are many recipes available, which include beef, chicken, rice and vegetables to name a few. You can find more information here: http://www.homemadedogfoodrecipesguide.com
Our dogs are spoilt and basically eat human food, really strange but pricey. I would think that commercial dog food is best for them.
It depends on the dog food. There are some that do not contain any fillers or preservatives and are all natural. They can be pricey, but they're worth it.
I found a food made in Ohio, never had a recall, all natural ingredients, no corn. It's so good I'm going to sell it in Michigan. Private label, less money than the premium store brands.
Strictly organic topped up with a little fish in oil for my babies. They love it and it saves money compared to commercial brand foods.
You are absolutely right that commercial dog food is a very poor diet for your dog. Most are full of fillers such as corn and do not have whole meat sources such as chicken, salmon or lamb.
Instead they use meat by-products from the left overs of slaughtering plants, rendering plants and can even include euthanized animals.
You should always choose a quality dog food for your dog. There really is no one dog food or dog food diet that is right for every dog.
Instead, you need to evaluate your dog's individual nutritional needs and energy requirements and use those details to start narrowing down your choices.
You should also learn to read and understand the misleading ingredients on the labels.
These are the things that will lead you to the best dog food for your furry friend.
Definitely. Commercial food can have so many additives and fillers, otherwise, if you choose the right one, you would be surprised!. Check out this blog entry I did: http://urban-pet.ca/up/2010/06/holistic-dog-food/ , I got inspired by my little Yorkie! He LOVES organic food.
Your dogs and cats are "human" too, they need different food, they need raw food, vitamins, nutrients and life outside our home too! If you stick your poor domestic animal into a small apartment on the 12th floor, feed only dry food and never let him/her out, don't expect it to be healthy. Recently my bosses' cat died from sarcoma. They never gave her anything but special expensive dry cat food they were buying from a veterinatian. Some special! My two cats eat everything meat and fish including cat food.
so.. what are the best alternatives. I can't really afford $40./ bag for science diet. he's a retriever/chow mix.
Try adding leftovers to whatever dog food you can afford to get.
Do you have a garbage disposal? Stop using it. Let your dogs enjoy some of what you don't need. It's less wasteful, and that's how the dog/man friendship began.
I have read different opinions of feeding leftovers to dogs.
while growing up, we fed all of our dogs leftovers and I have continued to do so until our current dog.
I can't remember where I read that it wasn't best..
he does hover around the dinner table..
also, thanks homegirl for the advice.
Feeding your dog some of your leftovers is fine depending on what it is because whatever it is may contain ingredients that are harmful to dogs.
There's a list of 33 human foods that are toxic to dogs at:
http://healthyhomemadedogfoodrecipes.co … d-your-dog
Better to be safe than sorry.
I agree with Aya, just make sure leftovers are fresh!
And you don't have to, though human food is not cheap either. I never had dogs, only cats, so somebody else can give you better information. For many centures people had dogs and cats and only recently they started to feed their animals with "bags" instead of food. They do not need science diet, just food. They can eat meat and bones, cooked soft bones, meat soups and stews. My idea, if you add any cheap dry dog's food into some meat soup like chicken, they would love it. Add some rice or potatoes to it as a filler, why not? Befriend a butcher!
You don't need to feed science diet. That is actually one of the commercial foods in question that are bad for dogs. It is full of corn and other cheap fillers. Feed something like Blue Buffalo or Orijen. They are cheaper than the food sold by vets and about 20 times healthier.
You might want to try organic food, some commercial food uses by-products which is in the long run not too beneficial for your dog. Your dog can have human food, if made correctly bearing in mind the daily nutrients they require in their diet.
From one who has actually test-tasted dog food, (see my hub), I agree with desdemonadarcei, go organic. Dog food is NOT FDA approved and many brands use rancid meat by products!
Actually most commercial dog foods are horribly bad for dogs...they contain things, such as gluton, that are harmful to dogs! Dogs are suppose to be carnivores...like wolves... they shouldn't be eating specific meals that can irritate digestive sytem (such as corn, wheat or soy) and by products that are in dog food. Some dog foods are made correctly, but you wont find these better dog foods at wal-mart or your local grocery store. You have to go to a pet store to get them. And many at the pet stores are bad too.
If you feed your dog all meat then that is great! You shouldn't feed dogs bread or other things humans eat!
If you feed your dog meat, be sure to also be giving them doggy bones of some sort for their teeth. (make sure you research which doggy bones are good).
Here's a few dog foods that are actually good for your dog:
Blue Buffalo Dog food
Nutro (not as good as Blue Buffalo but much better than many)
i dont have dogs or cats.
Please don't give your pets bones especially cooked ones. They are dangerous. They can get caught in their throats or turn into "concrete" in the bowels. Also no fatty meats. Pancreatitis is a BIG problem. These are two common problems vets see.
Where are people finding information about euthanized animals in pet food? Most people take their pets home or have them sent to a pet crematorium. Where would you find that many euthanized pets to be profitable. Shelters also cremate. Certainly sounds like a urban myth to me.
All bones for dogs are good for them as long as you do not cook them. Chicken bones should be given raw. They splinter when cooked as do any cooked bone. Dogs have the power in their teeth to crush bones. I used to feed my dogs raw but can no longer afford to so now they are on kibble but they still get raw bones.
Living in a rural area we are presented with bone related emergencies weekly. Hunting season is the worst. Check with your vet.
I have done extensive research on feeding raw to dogs. I have spoken with hundreds of people that feed raw from breeders to dog owners. I would have never fed raw if I had felt that it was not safe.
I know that I spend a lot of time these days promoting the BARF Diet...make it yourself style; however, I have done quite a bit of research recently and have found a number of excellent products on the market. They are not that easy to find because the big commercial dog foods have a corner on the advertising market, but they are out there. Keep looking if you have given up on looking the old fashioned way--going to the pet store in your car. www.hypoallergenicdogfoodhome.com
Jerry and Brownie get only home cooked meals. An occasional chewstick or a handful of nutripet or pedigree.
I completely agree! Most commercial brands are over processed and consist of ingredients that do more harm than good. Like food coloring, flavoring and meals meant to bulk up and lessen unit prices. Feed your dog real meat and vegetables! He doesn't need liver meal microwaved with corn syrup till its hard as a rock.
We prefer the Raw Food diet. Meat only. It's amazing the differences we have seen since starting.
A dog food with no fillers is the best of course. Some can be pricey and there are many different brands to choose from. Something natural and organic is the best of course. One of the great things about food with no fillers is that the dog will need to eat less, enough to be healthy though, but they will need less because of the better nutrition. They will also go to the bathroom less because their bodies don't have to process out all the "filler" stuff. My sister's dog won't even eat food with fillers, I don't know if it's because the dog is half wolf and will hunt when it can:) It takes one smell of a regular cheap dog food and get this look on it's face like it is absolutely disgusted:)

LexisNexis this week revealed another element of its electronic product development strategy by announcing it is to market low-cost tax and accounts production software.
The new products, Tolley's Accounts Production, Tolley's Personal and Business Tax and Tolley's eForms are rebadged editions of the applications developed by Digita. While the programs are functionally identical to Digita's, the quoted annual subscription price for the bundle of "one pound per client" sets a new benchmark in the tax software market.
"This is a completely different model," said Digita's managing director Jerry Rihll. "Without a large market share, Digita have to follow the pricing levels of our rivals. This deal is like signing up with Tesco's. The level of distribution means we can reach out to a much wider...

Reply to: Mental Health in Journalism and Media
I know it's been a while since this comment has been here but I just wanted to clarify that throughout what is written in my news summary I have only written about what I found in the news article and podcast, not about what I believe should be changed. While I do however agree with what is mentioned in the podcast I do not mention that in my news summary.
Reply to: Bullying kills
I was compelled to read this post because bullying is a serious topic that needs to be considered as the reason young adolescents are becoming troubled. This is a problem that affects most teenagers around the world. When I was back in high school, I had a lot of friends that were bullied by other members in our grade. The pressures of being "skinny" led them to hurt themselves and them having to be hospitalized. I came across a reason why people tend to bully others, it's because they might have been bullied themselves in the past.
Reply to: Geniuses or cheaters?
I found the topic you chose for this piece is very interesting. Being a fellow college student, I understand the pressure that is placed on you as a student to be the best that you can be. The education system forces you to compete with other students to portray the best academic grades you can achieve. Students tend to cheat on exams because of the overall pressures they have to perform and keep their grades up. When I was in high school, during my grade 10 year, there was a grade 11 student who wrote her public speech on the pressures of education. Her speech went on to winning the gold medal in the national public speaking contest. Her speech allowed for us to see the pressure students have to go through to have a higher final grade them our classmates.
Reply to: Way of decreasing the incidence of child abuse and neglect.
The title of your post caught my attention right away. Great work on introducing this topic and allowing for more people to know more about this topic. Out of all the articles that I've come across, I have not seen any other topics on this issue. Overall, this article was well written and I would love to learn more about this topic.
Reply to: Keeping Up with Fake News
I genuinely appreciate your comment and how passionate you are about this subject, but in my defence, I never intended to write an essay or a complete analysis on the issue of "fake news". My goal was to write a news summary explaining the mistake a newspaper did which is why there is only "one proof".
Reply to: Racial Bias in America: We Need to Talk
Your article hit a nerve with me, in a good way. Your writing shows how passionate you are about your subject and I do love how you start this post with a personal anecdote. It is a nice way to have a little bit background on where you are coming from (what experience made you have this position in this article).
I remember when I was younger, my brother and I were playing at a park when someone started pretending to speak Chinese to us. What do I say? How do I act? How do I pretend this never happen? I was absolutely embarrassed from being put in this sort of position. I, for once, will be the first to admit that for the longest time, I was ashamed of being an Asian. From this point, I started to despise my black hair and wished my eyes were a different color than my current boring brown ones. I hated how the fact you were not "white" made you automatically an outsider. That somehow, you could not understand other people's problems and issues. I had to remind them we all go through some shit (sorry for the language) no matter what skin color you have or where do you come from. And like you say in your post, it is definitely not okay to make fun of someone else culture and language.
I guess forgetting my origins was easier for me than being proud of it. Now, I need to forget that the shape of my eyes does not define who I am and the snarky comments and insults I get or the frustrated looks from employees says more about them than it says about me. I know who I am and that's the most important thing. You said you were tired of fighting for Asian people and you are definitely not alone in this one.
Reply to: A bigger nightmare
Hi BR, I really like how you introduce your points! It is true that too many crimes happened because firearms were too easy of access. There should really be stricter laws to avoid other tragic events like that to occur again. I found that the system is not serious about taking his license for only 3 days after having done something like that. I also think that there is another issue with the system, the rehabilitation of soldiers coming back from war. In psychology, I learned that many soldiers come back with PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder) and when there is too much stress they fall into depression or commit crimes as the one you have reported. Crimes like this one are likely to happen when the person is in a flashback state where his senses get distorted and they can no longer make the difference between reality and what is not real. If he had better treatment for this mental issue, I think it would not have happened. Here is an article from a reliable source from a governmental website who explain PTSD and its implication in crimes.

Reply to: In the Name of "Honour"…
Your news summary does an excellent job at explaining the consequences of the events that happened between the two presidents. The article is also very well summarized as I did not feel that it was repeating itself, boring or long to read. As someone who is also from East Asian ancestry, I completely agree on your standpoint. I always felt that there is always an ongoing competition between the East Asian countries to be number one especially China that hold tightly to its crown. Even back then, the countries never got along and fought war against each other. China, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan all have conflicts between each other. I find it a shame that they never and most likely never will consider to collaborate instead of fighting each other despite coming from the same roots.
Reply to: A bomb from the past
First of all, I would like to say that it was a really good topic to choose. In my opinion the final anecdote gave it the tone of the analysis to your article. Also, I like the organizational pattern and also that you added another case that made it clearer to understand. It is sad to think that this issue is still constantly happening day after day. I can relate to that as well because of my country of origin, Venezuela. When I was younger I used to live there and every time that there was a socio-economical problem people used to manifest with violence. I remember that there were days that we had to stay at home because of the tear gas that was running through the streets. People don't really know how it feels going through that situation and you explained the feeling very well. I would be more careful when writing as there are some mistakes in your article with the conjugation of verbs and the structure of the sentence. Overall, I think you did a really good job.

Love being set
Dear Policyholder:
Do you have a moment to look over important disaster preparedness/recovery information? US President Obama did.
While emergency communications are essential in time of crisis, there is little if any focus on the insurance industry's role and lack of meaningful information available to policyholders as well as to adjusters. Disaster insurance rights and recovery rules should reach the insuring public and adjusters alike. It not only helps to have rights and rules, where are we without them?
I do believe President Obama had good intentions when it comes to disaster preparedness/recovery. However, the insurance lobby may simply be too powerful for vital information to reach the public. That is my conclusion after communicating with him, please see the dialogue below. I hope you have the time to examine that revealing exchange. The public now has a better window into the matter of insurance consumer protection.
Antone P. Braga

May 25, 2009 Followup to President Obama
Dear Mr. President:
I received a June 4, 2009 letter from Mr. F. Michael Keller, Special Assistant to the President and Director of Presidential Correspondence, although I must say I am puzzled by his response to my February 2, 2009 letter.
As to his request for a brief, but detailed description of my issue, my letter could not be more clear. There are no government agencies providing the very basic consumer protection I have specified, even though US States' Departments of Insurance, Attorneys General, Federal Trade Commission, and Congress do exist to "protect the public."
We insurance policyholders make up the majority of the public, and deserve to have access to fundamental rights and information that affect us all. For the past thirty-two years I have been pointing that out to every government agency who could possibly help, as well as to members of congress, all to no avail.
It is time this issue is seriously addressed.
Antone P. Braga
Dear Mr. President:
The millions of people who survive disasters each year such as hurricane, earthquake, tornado, flood, and fire, usually carry insurance, but they generally have no idea what they have coming, even after asking around. Just what should they expect, and how do they conceive their damage claims or partake in the process? Nearly everyone has been left out of the loop.
I hope, sooner than later, you address this issue by sanction decree.
The people are with you...they are the special interest.

Dear Mr. President:
Can we expect your support, or is the insurance lobby just too powerful?

Dear Mr. President:
Spreading the risk is fine, as you have proposed. However, actual basic rights and information to help disaster survivors better understand their disaster recovery is most vital and conspicuously missing from view for all insurance consumers. This issue deserves a respectful response. I agree it is time to come together as Americans...policyholders all included.
Antone P. Braga
In times of great tragedy, Americans look out for one another. It's that core value that says, "I am my brother's keeper; I am my sister's keeper." We saw it last week in the aftermath of Hurricane Gustav. And because future hurricanes and other natural disasters will challenge us again, it's time to come together as Americans and create a common-sense national catastrophe insurance system, so that no family, neighborhood, city or state is left to bear the full burden of these events alone.
Floridians know as well as anyone that the current property insurance market isn't working...But disaster insurance isn't just an issue facing Floridians: It's an issue facing Americans across the country...it's the role of the federal government to step in, as we've done to insure against acts of terrorism. Because when a catastrophe strikes, we all look out for one another...

Dear Mr. President:
I realize you have a great deal on your plate. However, what about the millions of disaster survivors (not to mention virtually all the population) who have no visible rights and information in their crucial time of need? Surely a word from you would go a long way.

Dear Antone Braga:
Thank you for taking the time to share your views. I appreciate hearing from you and value your input.
My Administration is working to address the serious challenges our Nation faces. Some say we are moving forward on too many issues too quickly, but given our unprecedented circumstances, swift, deliberate action is needed. I am committed to taking immediate steps that generate job creation and economic recovery, and I am determined to make investments that lay a new foundation for real and lasting progress.
To build this new foundation, I have called for health care reform–this year–that reduces costs, protects health care choices, and assures quality, affordable care for all Americans. I am committed to building a clean energy economy that creates millions of jobs, helps to achieve energy independence, and reduces pollution as we tackle the effects of global warming. To prepare our children to thrive in the global economy, we must guarantee every child a complete and competitive education. We need to secure our homeland against threats by preventing terrorist attacks while planning for and responding soundly to emergencies. We also have an obligation to rein in our budget deficit by cutting wasteful spending and ineffective programs. We can do all this, and change the way business is done in Washington, by building the most open, transparent, and accountable government in our history.
Ultimately, the only way to solve the problems of our time is to involve all Americans in shaping the policies that affect our lives. Thank you again for writing. I encourage you to explore www.WhiteHouse.gov, which is regularly updated and more interactive than ever before.

Dear Mr. President:
Thank you for your response. It is good to hear from you. Your plans are ambitious and I hope feasible.
But, now back to this matter. When might we expect an answer to the question broached many months ago: Who cares about the millions of disaster survivors (not to mention virtually all the population) who have no visible rights and information in their crucial time of need?
Is it still only up to me to rectify, or can you provide input?

Dear Mr. President:
Access to rights and equal information truly is the benchmark of fairness...the need is genuine and affects, directly or indirectly, the vast majority of the public. Can you please address this issue?
Antone P. Braga
Dear Mr. President:
Your silence on this issue is telling...it answers, "Who Cares?" and where the government really stands with insurance policyholders and insurance companies. And, I must say, not in a very positive light for policyholders. If I'm reading that wrong, then, a penny for your thoughts.
Antone P. Braga
Dear Mr. President:
I feel badly that this matter seems complete based on your reticence rather than affirmative action for the People as I might have expected coming from you.
Maybe it was too much to expect, given the powerful hold on the status quo. However, the public sees in you a champion, as do I. Champions rely not on taciturnity, but affirmative action in their quest.
I say this, in the hope that this final appeal for positive action on your part will meet with your courageous statement—to give hope to all insurance policyholders by way of obvious rights and information to which they are entitled, but heretofore denied.
Antone P. Braga
Dear Mr. President:
I am sorry I must say this: you have left no doubt now, your action/inaction is most telling. However, of all the US Presidents I have written during my thirty-two year campaign, you are the only one who gave even a cursory response. So, for that I thank you.
I also thank you for the benefit from such clarification and enlightenment of laissez-faire policy—you have been most helpful: one might conclude that government really does not stand with insurance consumers, but rather complicit with insurance companies, otherwise the insurance industry would be made to provide basic rights and information to the public long ago, given such extended notice—apparently, disaster survivors need to fend for themselves against unfettered, blatant industry practices. And, government's lack of concern makes the answer more plain to the pressing question, "Who cares?"
Best of luck with your agenda.

Dear Friend:
Thank you for writing. I have heard from many Americans who have been affected by natural disasters, and I appreciate hearing from you.

I encourage Americans who are directly impacted by natural disasters to visit www.FEMA.gov or www.DisasterAssistance.gov for up-to-date information and to access current response and recovery information. For information on our Administration-wide response to the drought, please visit www.WhiteHouse.gov/Drought.

- Sediment Stage: Removes submicron particles, sand and rust.
- Carbon Stage: Removes chlorine and chloramine along with organic chemicals which could damage the TFC reverse osmosis membrane.
- Reverse osmosis stage: Removes dissolved solids and virtually everything larger than the water molecule itself. This is where the bulk of the purification is accomplished.
- Mixed bed deionization: Removes traces of salts, heavy metals and other pollutants
Aquarium Filter FAQs
What is reverse osmosis filtration?
Reverse osmosis (RO) uses water pressure to force water molecules through a very fine membrane. Purified water is "squeezed" through the "Thin Film Composite" (TFC) membrane while concentrated contaminants are left behind. Purified water is collected from the clean or "permeate" side of the membrane, and water containing the concentrated contaminants is flushed down the drain from the contaminated or "concentrate" side. The purified water is often sent to another form of filtration called deionization.
What is deionization?
Deionization (DI) is one of the most efficient processes known for removing dissolved salts, contaminants and minerals from water. The deionization process is the removal of all charged ions from the water. Deionization uses small plastic resin beads that have positive and negative charges on the surface of the beads. The beads exchange hydrogen (H+) cations and hydroxyl (OH-) anions for pollutants and like nitrate, phosphate and copper. The exchange process "trades ions" on the surface of the resin beads. In the exchange process pollutants stick to beads while H and OH is released into the water. H and OH combine to form H2O (water). Thousands of cation and anion ion exchanges take place as water passes through the resin bed. The deionization cartridges used in APEX reverse osmosis systems scavenges out any trace impurities that make it past the reverse osmosis process.
Why is reverse osmosis and deionization used together?
While reverse osmosis alone removes up to 90% (or higher) of the common salts, minerals, metals and other pollutants, some can still slip past the RO membrane. Having deionization after the reverse osmosis process ensures that the finished water is of the highest purity (99.9% removal). This is especially important to aquarists who want to limit contaminants like nitrate (NO3-), phosphate (PO43-) and toxic heavy metals like copper (Cu 2+). APEX manufactures reverse osmosis systems with and without deionization. A standard reverse osmosis system may be adequate for your water needs. For reef aquariums containing live corals we recommend a RO system with deionization.
Can I add deionization to my existing RO system?
Yes. Apex can supply you with an add-on filter cartridge housing, DI cartridge and all hardware needed to retrofit an existing RO system with deionization. Contact our Customer Service depart for details.
Why do I need RO/DI for my saltwater or reef aquarium?
Saltwater fish and reef organisms like corals and other invertebrates rely on proper water quality to survive. The freshwater you use to mix up synthetic seawater has a direct effect on the fish and invertebrates. Marine aquarium life is very sensitive to heavy metals like copper. Tap water that is considered safe to drink can still be very bad for saltwater aquarium use. Many tap water supplies contain phosphate, which is harmless to drink. But in the aquarium it causes explosive algae growth. Using RO/DI water to make saltwater and for top-off water is the only way to make sure your aquarium water is consistently safe for your fish and invertebrates.
What is a multistage reverse osmosis filter?
Can I use reverse osmosis in my freshwater aquarium?
- South American river aquariums that require water with a very low mineral content
- When growing live aquatic plants that like a low mineral water with an acidic pH
- When breeding cichlids like angelfish, discus and neon tetras
- Anytime when your tap water is unsuitable for keeping aquarium fish
- When your tap water contains algae-promoting phosphate and nitrate
I don't have a specialty freshwater aquarium. I just want to reduce the water hardness and a keep a neutral pH.
Many tap water sources are too hard and have a high carbonate level. This makes adjusting and stabilizing the pH difficult. Blending RO water with your tap water allows you to create the right hardness and carbonate level, which makes adjusting the pH easier.
Do water filter cartridges last forever?
No. APEX uses only the finest water filtration media in our filter cartridges. Filtration media are designed to capture pollutants inside the cartridge. This means that eventually the filtration media will become full of pollutants and need to be replaced.
When should I replace my filter cartridges?
Every APEX water filtration product has a specific maintenance schedule. Take a look at the product manual, the APEX website or ask one of our customer service professionals for assistance.
What will happen if I don't change my filter cartridge?
If the water filter is not serviced properly it will no longer function as designed. The water quality leaving the filter will no longer be purified. As the filter system become clogged, flow rate will decline. Failing to properly maintain the filter could cause damage to the filter and void your warranty.
I have a well. Can I have an RO system?
Yes. APEX RO/DI systems are compatible with a well water supply. If your water pressure is too low an RO system won't function properly. APEX offers RO booster pumps that raise the incoming water pressure to correct level. An add-on booster pump automatically turns on and off as needed by the reverse osmosis system.
Is spring water the same as RO/DI? Can I use it in my aquarium?
No. Many people believe that spring water is the same as purified water. On the contrary, spring water contains most or more of the same minerals and impurities found in well and tap water. The purity of spring water is comparable to most municipal tap water sources. There is no benefit to using spring water in your aquarium. Over time an APEX RO system will pay for itself compared to buying distilled or even bulk RO water from an aquarium shop.
Can I purchase replacement filter cartridges and RO membranes direct from you?
Yes. APEX can supply replacement filter cartridges, membranes, filter parts and components.
Can I use any brand of replacement filter cartridge in my APEX system?
APEX replacement filter cartridges are guaranteed to fit your APEX filter. Other brands should not be used. APEX replacement filter cartridges are manufactured from BPA-free materials and high-quality filtration materials. Only APEX replacement cartridges are guaranteed for exact fit and proper water purification.
Do APEX water filters add silver to the water?
No. We do not use silver-impregnated activated carbon in our filters.
Can I drink the water from my APEX RO/DI system?
Yes. APEX RO/DI filtration systems use human-grade non-BPA plastics and only the highest quality filtration materials.
What will an APEX RO/DI system remove?
- Nitrate
- Ammonia
- Nitrite
- Phosphate
- Silicate
- Lead
- Copper
- Radon
- Pesticides
- Chlorine and Chloramine
- Natural Organics
- VOCs
- Petroleum products
- Pharmaceuticals
I've heard that RO water is acidic. Won't this harm my fish?
Pure water contains no pH stabilizing (buffering) minerals. Carbon dioxide in the air will dissolve into pure water and give it a low pH if tested with a pH meter. Even though the pH is acidic it does not mean the water has strong acid properties. It is not corrosive because it is only very slightly acidic due to the natural carbon dioxide gas dissolved into the water.
I read that pure water has a neutral pH. Is this correct?
Yes and no. On paper and in theoretical terms pure H2O will have a neutral pH. But that is not the real world. The very second pure water is exposed to air, carbon dioxide will dissolve into the water, slightly acidifying the water. If a few drops of tap water with a pH of 9.0 are added to a gallon of pure water, it will have a pH of 9.0. Distilled and RO/DI water will take on the pH of whatever is added to it.
Will RO water make the pH in my saltwater aquarium unstable?
No. The marine salt mix is formulated with the correct pH buffers. This ensures the pH will end up between 8.2-8.4. The pH buffer sets and holds the pH, not the RO water. All aquarium pH buffers actually work best in purified water.

Alright-y, let's do this. It's going to be a brief update this week as we're sure everyone appreciates that given the Christmas craziness has officially started!
- DFW's winter nightmare
- Glitch caused chaos across the UK an Ireland
- Kenya's new terminal
- Man trapped on plane
The biggest disruption this week probably came from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) in the States. The Star-Telegram reported that late Friday, the airport reported that about 4,000 travelers were hunkered down for the night in terminals, and that 1,000 more cots were being brought in, adding to 3,000 set out Thursday night. On Friday, DFW officials said airlines canceled 760 departing flights out of DFW — about 90 percent of all scheduled flights. American Airlines and American Eagle reported more than 1,400 flight cancellations system-wide, including DFW, on Friday. The cause for this all? Icy winter weather.
Travellers in the United Kingdom and Ireland didn't have much better luck this week when an air traffic control centre glitch caused chaos across the two countries. The Daily Mirror reported that hundreds of flights were cancelled or delayed on Saturday after problems with a telephone system arose at the National Air Traffic Service (Nats) centre in Swanwick, Hampshire, in the early hours. According to the article thousands of people endured hours of frustration as flights were affected across the country, including the major airports of Heathrow (LHR), Stansted (STN) and Gatwick (LGW). The problem was resolved on Saturday evening, Nats said, more than 12 hours after first being reported.
Better news reached us from Kenya this week when The Guardian reported that the African country began work on a $653 million expansion of the capital's main airport on Tuesday, the second large-scale infrastructure project it has launched in a week, aimed at boosting trade and cementing its status as a regional commercial hub. The new terminal will be able to handle 20 million passengers when completed, three times the existing passenger flow through the airport, whose arrivals hall was gutted by a massive blaze in August. The first phase of the new terminal's construction will be finished in 2016.
And to finish off the week, this report here from the United States: Airline investigators are looking into how a man got left behind and locked onboard a United Airlines jet when everyone else left during a layover in Houston from Louisiana. According to ABC News, the man says he fell asleep on the plane and woke up in the pitch black cabin that had landed at Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), the nation's fifth largest airport. "I woke up and the lights were out. I was like, what's going on?" Wagner told ABC station KTRK-TV in Houston. "I thought maybe it was a layover, still on the same plane." He was eventually freed after he called his girlfriend who then alerted the airline.
Safe travels!

There is little doubt that the content management system known as WordPress has been a phenomenal commercial success, with already more than 70 million sites using the platform on the web.
The reason for its popularity and generally positive reviews is that it has been specifically designed to be as user-friendly as possible, with a plethora of features that make the software intuitive and allow the user to feel that they have a good element of control without needing anything more than basic web design skills to achieve what they want to do.
The problem for some is that it could be argued WordPress is a victim of its own mantra and success because of the fact that it has so many useful features and aims to do a lot of the technical work for you, this can slow it down due to having too many files, media and themes cluttering up the site and causing the site to load or refresh too slowly.
There is always an element of clutter that many users can quickly and easily eliminate themselves such as removing unnecessary plug-ins and themes so that even minor tweaks can boost the performance noticeably.
You can take this clean-up to the next level and see a serious improvement in your sites performance with a number of other actions and initiatives that will help WordPress to run efficiently.
Let's have a look at this infographic by WhoIsHostingThis.com will help you understand how you can get maximum speed with your WordPress website.

You know fall will soon arrive when you start seeing your favorite Halloween candies on the store shelves. And of course candy corn is always a favorite. This party mix is sure to be a hit at any Harvest/Halloween party! It would also be a great gift for teachers. The best part is no baking necessary, and it only takes minutes to make!
With all of these yummy ingredients, this mix is salty, crunchy, sweet and chewy.
Party Mix Ingredients:
- Mini Pretzel Twists
- Original Flavor Bugles
- Honeycomb cereal (optional – we chose not to use these)
- Candy Corn (2 small bags)
- Candy Corn Pumpkins (2 small bags)
- Chex Mix Muddy Buddy
- M&M's or round Chocolate Candy (I used only green, orange, yellow & brown)
- other options (peanuts, marshmallows, popcorn, fish crackers, cheerios, chocolate chips, dried cranberries)
In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients. You can use as much or as little of each ingredient as you like. (I chose to leave out the honeycomb cereal because my Kroger was out when I went shopping.)
Separate these treats into small size baggies for a fun Snack For Kids!
Notes: I found that the candies seem to sink to the bottom of the bowl, so make sure to mix well.
Thanks to The House of Hendrix for this great recipe!!
Fun facts: Candy corn was first made in the 1880's by George Renninger of the Wunderle Candy Company. In 1898, his recipe was used by The Goelitz Confectionery Company. They then became the largest producers of candied corn. The product was sold as "Chicken Feed" and marketed it in a red box adorned with a rooster on the front.

Roller Derby is quintessentially American; like the drive-in, it's rarely seen outside the US. And also like the drive-in, it began in the 1930's, when Chicago's Leo Seltzer combined two crazes: roller-skating and the dance marathon. His contest for couples, over 57,000 laps (the distance between Los Angeles and New York). drew 20,000 spectators in its opening week. The power of the concept was proven, but it took a few years for it to evolve into a contact sport – Damon Runyon, author of Guys and Dolls, helped Seltzer incorporate these elements, and also the change in aim from distance to the scoring of points.
The golden era of the sport began in the 1950's, when television helped roller derby become popular in almost every state. However, the 1970's saw it go into decline, and it has never recovered, despite attempts to revive it. Most recently, there was RollerJam, an exercise closer to professional wrestling and co-funded by TNN, that stumbled along despite the assistance of Leo Seltzer's son, Jerry, and finally went under in June 2000.
A minor footnote in American pop culture? Perhaps. Yet it survives, with federations in Texas, California and even the Cayman Islands, not to mention here in Arizona. An impressive crowd, several hundred strong, turned up on a Saturday night and paid $10 to attend a double-header of roller derby, at Surfside Skateland in Phoenix. The Furious Truckstop Waitresses came up from Tucson to challenge the hometown Smashers, while the French Kiss Army took on the Bruisers. Women? Action? Violence? Naturally, we here at gwg.org wouldn't miss that, and the chance to see what is perhaps the only contact sport played mostly by women.
A quick explanation of the basic rules, as played in AZ Roller Derby – they're little changed from the ones created by Seltzer and Runyon back in the early days. There are two teams of five players. One from each side is designated the jammer, and these two start off a little way behind the other players. Their initial task is to make their way through the pack – the first to do so is the "lead jammer" and can end the bout at any point she deems tactically prudent (if she doesn't, they last a maximum of two minutes).
After getting through, the jammers then lap the pack, and again approach it from behind. Only this time, they score one point for every opponent they pass. Which is where the fun starts, since the opposition is trying to block them, and their team-mates are trying to block the blockers, while also stopping the opposition's jammer from passing them and scoring. A match consists of two periods, each lasting twenty minutes; most points wins.
The opportunities for violence are obvious, and are reflected in players who adopt nommes des guerre such as Mayhemily, Joan Threat [along with her cute-as-a-button little daughter, Kitty Ka-Boom, who had her own uniform], Kim Sin and Ann Ihilate. The creative imagination extends further: the Bruisers' uniforms were patterned after nurses (down to the little white peak and red cross on their helmets), while the Furious Truckstop Waitresses were…well, work it out yourselves.
There are rules which stipulate the types of blocking allowed, but despite the presence of multiple referees, penalties seemed to be rarely enforced. Even when the occasional fight broke out – usually after one player took exception to a block by another – the referees stood back for a bit before interfering, realising that, in truth, this was what the bulk of the audience wanted to see. With helmets compulsory, odds were against any significant injury, and while one suspected everyone involved heads down the bar and has a drink afterwards, this does not reduce the guilty pleasure involved in the spectacle.
I was a little surprised to see a flat track, it was simply marked out on the surface of the rink with rope lights; the teams are working towards banking, and have weekly fundraisers at Ziggy's in Tempe – including a spanking booth! For the moment, they make do and, regardless, the pace was fast and furious; while the skating ability on view was variable, these women are athletes, make no mistake about it. The best jammers, such as Sara Veza and Go Go Liz, slid through the pack like a knife through butter. Even rookies like ourselves could see the skill required, while perhaps not appreciating the subtle refinements of the sport. [Alright, "subtle" is stretching it. There's a whole page on their website, with photos of the injuries players have received…]
Did find it hard to keep track of the jammers; they have a star on their helmet but, especially on the far side of the track, it's hard to see. Maybe some kind of yellow/orange bib would work better? The scoreboard was often some way behind the action, though since the scorekeeper was hobbling around on a broken ankle, it's hard to be too critical. And while the action was fast and furious when it happened, four 20-minute periods took 3 1/2 hours to complete, thanks to the lengthy intermissions. Entertainment therein was provided by a couple of bands, but given an audience reaction that could be described as 'indifferent' (and that's being kind), they might be better off scrapping that, and getting everything done in two hours. Perhaps it's just me – in Britain, a ninety-minute football game takes an hour forty-five, tops – but we were there for roller derby, and everything else was, inevitably, filed under 'pointless distraction'.
However, we remained enormously impressed: as a mix of sport, entertainment and spectacle, it was a damn fine evening, and the effort the participants put in was clear to all. Oh, and for the record, the Smashers beat the Furious Truckstop Waitresses, in a contest that went right down to the wire, while the French Kiss Army staged a come-from-behind victory to defeat the Bruisers. We're certainly up for the rematch next month!
[Postscript. Kim Sin, of the Furious Truckstop Waitresses, wrote in to say, "Cool story, but you failed to mention FTW is not part of AZRD; we are our own league of two teams in Tucson, Tucson Roller Derby, a non-profit organization. We work with AZRD, but are a totally separate entity." And their website is at http://www.tucsonrollerderby.com]

Marcelo missing for Real
Marcelo has joined Real Madrid's injury list for the UEFA Champions League tie with Roma.
Last Updated: 17/02/08 9:22pm
Brazilian full-back Marcelo has joined Real Madrid's injury list for the UEFA Champions League tie with Roma.
Marcelo suffered a calf injury in Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Real Betis and will miss Tuesday's first leg at Stadio Olimpico.
The youngster's absence will be a blow to Bernd Schuster's side as he had played every minute for Real in the group phase.
His place in the Real line-up is likely to be taken by Gabriel Heinze after the former Manchester United left-back recovered from injury.
However, the Spanish champions will still tackle Roma without Wesley Sneijder, Javier Saviola, Pepe, Christoph Metzelder and Robinho.
Raul is also aiming to shake off a knock to his leg suffered against Betis and he will receive intensive treatment ahead of the trip to Rome.

Our family will be travelling by train from Lourdes to Nice with a change of train for about 12 minutes in Toulouse. If you have travelled this train, was it easy to find the train going to Nice? I am worried as the four of us will be bringing our suitcases with us as we'll be travelling from Nice up to Rome,etc.
If you have travelled this route can you give us a detailed description of what we'll do? So we'll be able to visualize beforehand what we'll do in the station of Toulouse.
If we won't be able to get the 1p.m. train to Nice from Toulouse, the next trip will arrive Nice about midnight.

Research reveals resveratrol may potentially lower the risk of high blood pressure. Controlling high blood pressure requires sufferers to engage in regular exercise, lose excess weight, have a diet low in salt, cholesterol, and fat, as well as quit smoking.
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute reveal that there are contributing factors in the increase of blood pressure. It can be aging, underlying condition, or the use of certain medications. Other risk factors are living a sedentary lifestyle, having an unhealthy diet, being overweight, and consuming too much alcohol.
Hypertension causes the heart muscle to work harder than the usual. Over time, it can significantly damage the blood vessels, heart, kidneys, and other body parts. When blood pressure reaches 120/80mm Hg or even higher, medications may be used to lower it.
According to the CDC, about 70 million individuals or 1 out of 3 people in the United States suffer from high blood pressure. Half of the population of these sufferers is able to manage their condition. The use of medications, certain lifestyle modifications, and the use of essential nutrients are believed to help sufferers manage hypertension.
It is believed that an antioxidant called resveratrol can potentially help reduce the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease.
In a study featured in the February 3, 2012 issue of the Cell journal, it was found that resveratrol may have the ability to reduce LDL cholesterol levels, prevent blood vessel damage, hinder blood clotting, and reduce inflammation.
Blood clots, damaged blood vessels, and high cholesterol levels can increase blood pressure as well as block the arteries. Controlling all of these factors can significantly lower blood pressure.
The Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University reveals that a maximum of two alcoholic drinks for men and one for women a day may potentially reduce coronary artery disease risk. However, it has not been established yet if it is the flavonoids, alcohol, or resveratrol that caused the reduction.
Resveratrol can be obtained from food sources such as peanuts, grape juice, red grapes, bilberries, and cranberries. It can also be obtained through supplementation.
When incorporated in ones diet, resveratrol can potentially offer a range of health benefits. It is believed to regulate systolic blood pressure, and therefore providing support in blood pressure health (http://www.amazon.com/Resveratrol-Supplement-Strength-Extract-capsules/dp/B019C0UU5S).
