Hawaii Police Union Prez: 'You Will Have To Kill Me' Before I Enforce Same-Sex Marriage Laws
Since it looks like marriage equality is on its way to passing in Hawaii, we're thinking Hawaii Police Union President Tenari Maafala better get ready to submit his resignation.
The President of the State of Hawaii Organization of Police Officers (pictured, right) says there's no way he'll enforce same-sex marriage laws.
"The day I retire and bills like this are introduced, I will never ever honor such law. You will have to kill me to disrespect and dishonor my father in heaven. You will have to kill me to impose these type of laws upon my children and my nieces and nephews."
Maafala said the state has more important issues to address, such as homelessness and drugs, and that denying gay couples the right to marry is not discrimination if it's against your beliefs.
"I stand by my beliefs," Maafala said.
Enjoy retirement, Maafala.

First of all he is not Hawaiian he's a Tongan, and an immigrant to Hawaii, Hawaiians curturally dont have an issue with homsexuality, in fact its a well accepted part of our culture,This is the work of Morman church, they polluted native Tongans with there hate mongoring well before They did there evel work on Hawai''i Nei.
Why do straight people feel that they should benefit from same sex marriages? How do the "majority" have anything to do with the minority?
People are extrapolating an individual's rights to marry whom ever they want, to how it effects them and their beliefs and how it takes away from their religious freedoms. What about my beliefs? These people already have their freedoms.... I just want mine too
To Anonymous who wrote that long comment: No, you are wrong. Saying marriage equality or homosexuality is "against ones beliefs" is just a disguise for how hateful and bigoted you are. Faith, religion and belief should never, ever be a justification or excuse for such intolerance. I'm sure his faith says many things that are wrong that he and his loved ones do on a daily basis, but never think twice about. Only true people of faith are those smart enough to know that all are part of and welcome on this Earth and have every right to equality and happiness.
I'm sorry to hear of how those in the lgbt community may feel hated, dirty, mistreated, frustrated, and downright oppressed. But I think many people, including, but not limited to, this article and huffington post, have misinterpreted what mr. Maafala was trying to say. Though he did say "you will have to kill me" in regards to same sex marriage, that is one sentence out of the entire statement. His overarching message was that whether straight or in the lgbt community, the government is being negligent at not looking at the sb1 bill carefully. He states that as a police officer he will uphold and apply any law made, and therefore treat everyone equally. Being that if the bill is passed, it does not coincide to his own and his families beliefs, he will not teach the belief of that law to his family or support it. But he will continue to uphold a law so long as he is a law enforcer and a citizen. He goes on to state though that no matter what, the committee members are not taking the time to look over the bill and listen to both the majority AND the minority (which he points out as the lgbt community) to ensure that EVERYONE is protected and will benefit from this bill. I feel that unlike most testifiers, mr. Maafala actually offered the most sensible argument to the bill. His one sentence that is highlighted in this article is completely blown out of proportion and misguided in regards to his main argument. Also if you watch his full segment on YouTube, unlike most testifiers, mr Maafala had the acknowledgment of the committee members and board indicating that there was a form of control, respect, sympathy and understanding on both sides. Yes there have been statements made that are in need of great rewording and more contemplation. But I believe that mr Maafala was merely trying to say that the bill doesn't support his beliefs; but more importantly it doesn't allow both the majority AND the minority to be treated fairly if passed and is in need of revising.
And what would he have to "enforce"? What laws(s) does he "enforce"" for heterosexual marriages? His position does not call upon him to conduct any civil marriage ceremony. Would he be in charge of delegating traffic police for a same sex wedding? This is yet one more very ugly face of bigotry.

Brick by Brick continues its series of tribute-band triple bills, with a show topped by Cars doppelgangers The Dangerous Types on May 24. While the Cars hit-making era only lasted roughly six years from 1978 to 1984, they still managed to produce numerous now-classic tunes, including "My Best Friend's Girl," "Just What I Needed" and "Shake it Up," making them perfect candidates for the tribute-band scene. Also on hand this evening will be Sex Pistols tribute band the Rotten Johnnies and KISS cover group Exposed, making for an unlikely, but very entertaining night of music
• The Dangerous Types perform at 8 p.m. on Friday, May 24 at Brick by Brick, 1130 Buenos Ave. 21 and up. $7. www.brickbybrick.com
On May 24, San Diego's jazz community will come together at Dizzy's to celebrate the 81st birthday of San Diego music icon Joe Marillo. The celebrated saxophonist will perform alongside a band consisting of Jim Plank on drums, Tom Azarello on bass, Ed Kornhauser on piano, Derek Cannon on trumpet and special guest Ben Schachter on tenor saxophone. A mainstay of the local jazz scene since 1974, Marillo has mentored and inspired countless musicians. He has released three albums in recent years, but his live performances are the best way to experience his music. This birthday celebration concert is a wonderful reason to get out and do so.
• Joe Marillo performs at 8 p.m. on Friday, May 24 at Dizzy's, 4275 Mission Bay Drive. $15. www.dizzysjazz.com
The Kona Kai's new music-booking policy is off to a rousing start from May 24-26, with a series of pool parties featuring some of the area's favorite artists. On May 24 at 7 p.m. will be a performance by classic rock favorites Rockola, featuring Mark DeCerbo. Anyone who enjoys evergreens like The Beatles' "Twist & Shout" will love this quartet's spot-on takes of choice oldies. Meanwhile, on May 25 at noon, the spotlight will be on blues singer Whitney Shay. Then, on May 26 at noon, more classic tunes are on tap from Fish and the Seaweeds. Anyone who enjoys hearing music outdoors will love these shows. Look for attendance at the pool parties to build as the summer heats up.
• Pool Party Weekend: Friday May 24, 7 p.m.; May 25 -26, noon, at the Kona Kai Resort, 1551 Shelter Island Drive. www.resortkonakai.com
Promoter Jefferson Jay is perhaps best known these days for his Wednesday open mic-nights at Winston's Beach Club, as well as concert series like a songwriters' showcase at La Jolla's Athenaeum. But at the core of it all, Jay is a musician. On May 25, he will front his own band in a performance at The Griffin. Onstage, you never know what you'll get with Jay, but from rock to trumpet spiced to Latin-influenced acoustic numbers, he always delivers cleverly and extremely well-arranged tunes.
• The Jefferson Jay Band performs at 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 25 at The Griffin, 1310 Morena Blvd. 21 and up. $8. www.thegriffin-sd.com

Lazy eye is a fairly common eye problem in children. It develops when a child has one eye that doesn't see well and the child starts using the good eye almost exclusively. If lazy eye persists and is left untreated past the age of five or six, vision may be lost permanently in that eye.

U.S. consumer sentiment tumbled to its lowest since December 2011 in early March, hit by dissatisfaction with government economic policies and as fewer Americans expected to see improvements in growth or the labor market, a survey released on Friday showed.
Continue Reading Below
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's preliminary reading on the overall index on consumer sentiment dropped to 71.8 from 77.6 in February, short of expectations for 78.
Across-the-board government spending cuts of $85 billion went into effect at the beginning of the month after U.S.lawmakers failed to come to a new deal. A record 34% of respondents made unfavorable references to government economic policies, beating January's prior record of 31%.
"The frustrations expressed by consumers essentially involve how little consideration has been given to how the government's inability to reach a compromise affects people's economic situation,'' survey director Richard Curtin said in a statement. The barometer of current economic conditions fell to 87.5 from 89, while the gauge of consumer expectations tumbled to 61.7 from 70.2, its weakest since November 2011.
Thirty percent of consumers expected the pace of economic growth would worsen in the coming year, up from 22% the previous month, while 38% expected the unemployment rate to increase, up from 27%.
Still, the damage to buying plans has so far been minimal, the survey found. The index of buying conditions for durable goods eased just slightly to 139 from 140.
The one-year inflation expectation held steady at 3.3% and the five-to-10-year inflation outlook edged down to 2.9% from 3%.

Very sorry to hear it, Jackson. I've made the same point myself, that people in Washington are screwed because the only state school is so competitive. Most if not all of the other states with very competitive public schools at least have less competitive public alternatives. Good luck with your other applications. With your numbers you will get in somewhere good.
Seattle U is only a drop in rankings, and ranking are bull. It's a great school, in many ways equal to UW and certainly a friendlier and definitely less pompous school. UW is significantly cheaper tho...When was your letter dated Jackson? If it was yesterday, I ain't going to get the mail today.
160/3.5, WA resident.I feel like I deserve to go to law school there. They're the only public law school in the state too. Bummer.
ding here with 164/3.42 from ucla. totally bummed. i was expecting an admit, too. i heard the school was harder to get into for out of state, but they kind of deny that that is true.i am thinking it is true though. the vast majority of rejects right now on LSN are all out of state. they should warn you about these these so you can hedge your bets properly!k. all done.

Smartphone OS vendors have a problem. For all their hype about their respective platforms and the amazing features of the smartphones that run them, let's face it: Barring the odd marquee feature such as Siri, all smartphones function pretty much alike.
They all can handle voice calls, text messaging, and email. They can all manage contacts, calendars, and to-do lists. They can integrate with Facebook and other social networks. They can take photos, play videos, and browse the Web.
[ Go deep into HTML5 programming in InfoWorld's "HTML5 Megaguide Deep Dive" PDF how-to report. Then understand the issues surrounding HTML5 today in InfoWorld's HTML5 Deep Dive PDF strategy report. | Follow the latest news and insights on programmig with InfoWorld's Developer World newsletter. ]
There are really only two details that distinguish one smartphone platform from another: One is the size of its app catalog, which depends on independent developers; the other is the look and feel of the platform itself. As the worlds of computing and consumer electronics converge, user experience increasingly becomes a platform vendor's calling card.
Apple always understood this better than anyone. The unique UI of the iPhone and other iOS devices gave Apple an early lead in the mobile device market. But now Google and Microsoft are both placing renewed emphasis on their platforms' user experience. That means not just increased competition among smartphone and tablet platforms, but also new challenges for mobile application developers.
Copying Apple's playbook
In the 1980s, Apple became the first company to propose a set of standard Human Interface Guidelines for personal computing. It continued the practice as its platform evolved; due to these decisions, Mac OS X is inarguably the most aesthetically beautiful Unix-like OS ever produced.
Microsoft has been accused of ripping off Mac OS for its Windows UI, and rightly so. But while Windows copied practically all of the function of Mac OS, it fell short on form. Simply put, early versions of Windows were ugly, and the GUI often felt clumsy and slipshod. The situation has improved with each new major version, albeit gradually. For Windows 8, however, Microsoft is pulling out all stops.
The most important change in Windows 8 is Metro, the new, simplified, touch-friendly UI that takes the place of the traditional Start menu. If Metro were just a new feature for Windows PCs, it would be forgettable. What makes it significant is that the Metro UI will soon be available on all of Microsoft's hardware platforms, including Windows PCs, Windows tablets, Windows Phones, and even the Xbox 360. Because Metro-style apps are written using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XAML, and .Net-managed code, it may even be possible to run the exact same apps on any Microsoft-powered device.
That's a greater degree of integration and uniformity than even Apple has attempted so far. Mac OS X and iOS remain distinct platforms, despite persistent rumors that Apple may one day try to merge them. (The late Steve Jobs hinted at an eventual Mac/iOS merger when he was Apple's CEO.)
Meanwhile, Google has similarly been accused of aping iOS with its Android platform. One of the criticisms of Android, however, is that Google has given smartphone vendors too much control over their handsets' UIs. The proliferation of vendor-designed skins means you can never be certain how the UI of your particular Android phone will look or behave.

Can't argue they've been great so far this season. Fair play to them and Dyche but it's unlikely to last and he's just not for me. Dyche has a defensive and quite a negative philosophy. Silva has a very different one with a club with similar aspirations in Watford, where they don't look to defend for 90 minutes in the hope they can nick a point.
I'm more trusting of fellas when they have my cock in their mouth
it wouldn't say a lot about his loyalty.
Denis Villeneuve. Throw big money at him.
I don't get the Villeneuve joke. I know he's a film director of French/Canadian origin but that's it
Not really a joke per se. He just seems to be able to do everything else well. If he can get the Blade Runner sequel so right, I'm sure he can deal with another seemingly poisoned chalice.

The first Sunday of Lent begins at, well, the beginning: Creation and the Garden of Eden. The story of the temptation and fall are a reminder of our sinfulness and our need for salvation. Tempted by the serpent, Adam and Eve failed to love, trust and obey God. The first sin severed man's relationship with God. According to the catechism, "He chose himself over and against God, against the requirements of his creaturely status and therefore against his own good" (CCC, No. 398). Our first parents were driven out of the garden and into the desert of a fallen world (Gn 3:23-24). Sin had entered the world, and with it came death, pain and suffering.
The Gospel for the first Sunday of Lent presents Jesus' dramatic confrontation with the devil. The three temptations Jesus underwent in the wilderness represented the temptations the Israelites had failed to overcome while in the desert for 40 years. The 40 days and nights Jesus spent in the desert represent those years; likewise, the 40 days of Lent are based upon the fast of our Lord (CCC, No. 540). Led by the Spirit and guided by the Church, we enter into a desert of sorts, renouncing various comforts and making more time for prayer and self-sacrifice. We ask: Do I trust in God? How can I grow in obedience and love?

Rams Rally to Defeat Morrisville
Farmingdale State - 9, Morrisville State - 8
Farmingdale, N.Y. - With a 5-5 tie score at the half and the Morrisville State Mustangs (0-4) scoring the first two goals in the second to go up 7-5, Farmingdale State (1-5) rallied to score four straight and defend their home turf for a 9-8 victory in a non-conference men's lacrosse game in Farmingdale, N.Y.
Freshman attacker Joey Stroessenreuther (Bethpage, N.Y.Bethpage) began the Rams rally with an unassisted goal with 19 seconds remaining in the third period. At 11:05 in the fourth, senior attacker Joe Meola (Rocky Point, N.Y./Rocky Point) made a pass to junior attacker Sean Maxwell (West Babylon, N.Y./West Babylon) for the easy look in front of the cage. Three minutes later, freshman attacker Eddie Rifice (Babylon, N.Y./Babylon) rolled around the cage for the unassisted go-ahead goal to put Farmingdale up 8-7 with 9:42 left to play. Stroessenreuther scored an insurance goal, the eventual game-winner, with 6:43 on the clock for the 9-7 lead.
Morrisville would not go down without a fight, as freshman attacker Tim Bobbett (Cazenovia, N.Y./CBA) would make it 9-8 off a pass from freshman midfielder Eric Stein (Oswego, N.Y./Oswego). With a couple turnovers by each team as the clock ticked away and the Mustangs were trying to tie things up, tough defense with caused turnovers by Farmingdale sophomore defender Philip Dichiara (East Rockaway, N.Y./East Rockaway), junior goalkeeper Teddy Leone (East Meadow, N.Y./East Meadow) and freshman defender Jonathan Prophete (Freeport, N.Y./Freeport) secured the victory for the Rams first win of the season.
Leone finished with 10 saves for Farmingdale State, while freshman goalkeeper Jeremy Hunt (Bourne, Mass./Bourne) made 15 saves in defeat. The Rams won 15-of-21 faceoffs in the game and picked up 41 ground balls to Morrisville's 32.
Farmingdale State will now face Briarcliffe College on Wednesday night, April 2nd at 7:00 p.m. before opening up their conference schedule on Saturday, April 5th at home against Richard Stockton at 1:00 p.m.

Identity Crisis?!? I'm with Kanon and the rest on this one... she/they know(s) very well what they want to have; a drama, presented from an energetic and optimistic character's point of view, therefore lightened with comedic situation that are over-exaggerated. The thing is that with only two episodes it was not immediately apparent to everyone, and given the other heavier show from the same writter this season, many forced their live-soap-opera-tear-jerking expectation in the show, feeling manipulated now
Don't bash, I'm exaggerating a little bit

And I'm perfectly fine with and supportive of that. Indeed, it's now the main reason why I continue to watch this show - its generally happy presentation and sentimentality is something I appreciate.
Serious drama can be quite uplifting overall. I mean, seeing characters rise to overcome difficult challenges is inherently dramatic and uplifting, in my view.
To reference a recent anime that's like this, I point to Moshidora.

I hate sounding like a broken record but,can you take this face seriously?When you look at that can you really tell me that the staff was going for a dramatic effect and not a comical one?
If so then I guess we're looking at the same thing but not interpetting them the same way at all.

I mean, I've seen comedic facial distortion in anime. Heck, this anime episode itself has it with how Tomoe grinded her teeth so expressively in one scene.
Minchi's "Die" expression there seems mild and restrained to me compared to how Tomoe expresses herself in many scenes in Episode 7.

That scene was comedic in its presentation, but somewhat dramatic in context. It was funny because it was completely opposite of what Ohana intended and expected, and a bit dramatic because it marked the beginning of the end of her optimism about moving to a new place. The first two episodes were full of well-written, tastefully directed bits like that.
Compare that level of presentation with, say, Tomoe's growling animal teeth from episode seven, and I think the line between lighthearted/down-to-earth and wacky/over-the-top begins to become clearer.

I don't think it has an identity crisis either. Plenty of episodes start off in an episodic "It's this characters limelight this episode" style. It's just that HSI has spent a bit longer than usual on it.

And this is part of the reason why I do think that this anime, right now, has a bit of an identity crisis.

Which I guess explains why it feels like I havn't been watching the same first two episodes as other people,seems like I've been laughing at a few scenes that others found quite serious.

What I focused in on the most in the first two episodes of this anime was the context that its scenes were placed within, and that's a big reason why I found those episodes pretty dramatic and serious.
But from talking to you and others, I will say that if my focus was more on presentation and less on context, maybe I would have seen it as more comedic than what I did, *shrugs shoulders*.

There's one which is dramatic in natural but playing in a comedic manner, and one purely just comedy.
The whole drama in the first three episodes were surrounding grandma and then Minko's attitude toward Ohana (Or more accurate, Ohana try to "fit in"). And the whole bucket throwing and non-serious angry faces just make the whole issues less dramatic, does not turn it into comedic... Nothing funny at how grandma force her granddaughter working for her meal as soon as she arrive, or strange girl kept telling you to "Die"
But then we don't have that sort of drama since then. The love triangle event (Minko-Touru, with Yuina) was played in quite dramatic manner, but the event itself was quite hilarious as the whole inn misunderstood the situation. Then wearing skimpy dress to boost the inn's popularity, or Tomoe's plan backfired... also quite comedic in natural. It could hint at something big later (the inn gone bankrupt perhaps). But at this moment it can be considered as fillers
And its till bug me whenever people call this series "slice-of-life".

I think I'm finally starting to understand now
Though I'm still expecting major AnaHano level drama in the second half,I'll eat my words if I'm wrong,not sure if next episode will be the real deal or not,if it is then it's sooner than I expected,we'll see.

After all, if you're biting off more than you could chew, that's nobody's fault but your own.
It is just my feeling that someone on the PA works editing/directing team needs to be fired.
I mean, the first season of Nanoha was ridiculous too in terms of plot and was an anime with severe focus problems, but even it managed to land with dignity instead of flopping all over the place. Yes, I know Nanoha has more than one season, but they can be all viewed as standalone, and at least the first 2 seasons managed to deliver storytelling and characters in this short time span of 13 episodes. In fact....
Spoiler for Angel Beats and Nanoha:
Yes, I don't think it's reasonable to project another show's expectations onto another. I didn't like Hana Saku Iroha vs Ano Hana because these two shows are diff rent things. We don't need H-S I to be True Tears, or EF, or Eva, or w/e.
But the reason why I (and others) bring up other examples that work, is because they are examples of good storytelling. Is that not a reasonable expectation? You can still succeed within your own flavor, but that doesn't allow one to shirk these things like nothing
So I'd like to repeat:
1.) Drama and comedy are not mutually exclusive. You can have your cake and eat it too.
2.) Time management is one's own damned fault, if they bite off more they can chew.
3.) Judgement is of course, on what you've already seen, not on what could happen. Thinking of things you have no idea about are useless, but I think it's useful to be critical of something throughout the entire viewing.
4.) Disappointment (?) Hey, I don't think any of us here actually hate the show. If it just ends up some average slice of life, I won't be shedding any tears. But you know what? I refuse to accept the bare minimum. The "If you don't like it, then gtfo" mentality simply doesn't really help the matter of people who like the show, but have a number of issues.
Now clearly, it's nowhere near as bad as say Haruhi or Madoka discussions where people with issues just get shouted down by some ridiculous mob, but hey...
Sure, I can still enjoy it for what it is. Implying otherwise would be silly.

We're going excessively off topic here, this is the episode 7 discussion thread, not the place for summaries or comparisons about the first month and a half of Hanasaku Iroha.
If you wish to proceed this discussion, please move in the generic discussion thread, and allow people who'd wish to talk about episode 7 to discuss it here.

I can respect that, I don't look at that scene for in context mainly because I knew as soon as I read the synopsis what kind of show it is.
In addition, when I look at that scene, if I look in the context, then grandma's action is completely illogical in an otherwise logical scene.
Stop looking at it as a genre. It was more used as a tag "slice"-of-life mainly due to culture difference and opinions.

In ep1, we learn that Ko and Ohana are "best friends," who spend a lot of time together. She definitely "notices" him, in fact she is with him constantly, as far as we can tell. When he learns she is leaving, Ko confesses to her, then runs away in embarrassment. On the train, Ohana thinks: "I have always wanted to be someone else, but now that I have seen a different side of Ko-chan...." This is clearly a suggestion that romantic feelings can develop.
Off at the inn, she doesn't call him because she doesn't know what to say. This kind of awkwardness is perfectly normal, when her osananajimi starts wanting to convert the relationship to romance. Only when he comes to see her, which the preview suggests may be soon, will we see if she feels like taking any steps in that direction. They are unlikely to be big ones, at this point, since she really gives no evidence of understanding romance at all -- all she has seen is her mother's rather irresponsible, changeable, almost comic variety of romance, which has probably turned her off the whole idea, in favor of the simple, stable friendship of a Ko.
We have not been shown her thinking of him beyond a couple of simple scenes, but that would be normal while she has to deal with a new environment, and also because the anime has strayed so far from the fairly serious narrative of the first two episodes. I am looking forward to Thursday, hoping that Ko may ignite a small flame in her heart.
A small flame is all there could be, for now. But it would be enough for me. Actually, I would also be happy enough with both of them learning that she has become a different person, and they have little in common any more. That would be human drama, too. But even if she is still not ready, I don't expect him to stop giving her the opportunity to learn.
In any case, romance here would definitely not be "from nowhere," whatever the situation in Angel Beats, which I only watched half of and thought of as a confused train wreck, to that point.

but while it won't be out of on where, it is definitely forced. I can see long distance relation like that happening in Romantic Comedy anime with Kou (not Ohana) being the main character. But with Ohana being a fairly logical and realistic person it just really hard to see Kou succeed. I would rather put my money on Ohana x Toruu than Ohana x Kou, though Ithink the most likely scenario is series end with neither succeed.

Heartworm is like "Jaws". Just when you think you know who is safe, the facts change....By now all dog owners should realize that heartworm happens. Mosquitoes spread the disease. However, according to the American Heartworm Society (AHS), despite the deadly threat to unprotected dogs, only 59% of dog owners regularly administer preventative. Veterinarians are rethinking the notion that just dogs are at risk. Recent findings show that heartworm kills cats too. Mosquitoes are still the culprits but feline heartworm affects cats differently.
In cats researchers have discovered that symptoms such as heavy or fast breathing often diagnosed as feline asthma or allergic bronchitis may actually be caused by heartworm in the larval or adult phase, even if the cat tests negative for heartworm. The term HARD (Heartworm Associated Respiratory Disease) is the new clinical acronym for this feline syndrome. Additional symptoms, including coughing, blindness, and weight loss, mimic other conditions. Heartworm's difficult to diagnose. Many cats infected don't show any distress. The first sign, unfortunately, can be sudden death. It's preventable, yet presently only 5 percent of US cat owners safeguard their cats.
Last spring Dr. Thomas Nelson, president of the AHS and the late Dr. Jim Richards director of Cornell Feline Health Center launched the KNOW Heartworms public awareness campaign to dispel the myths and misunderstandings about the disease in cats. They brought their urgent message to as many colleagues and cat lovers as possible. (Sadly, I was supposed to meet with Dr. Richards to learn more the week he tragically died in a motorcycle accident.) The 5 main myths are:
For more information visit www.heart-ßwormsociety.org or my archived 6/08/06 Beacon or 6/07/06 Post column link. We live on Long Island, a mosquito Mecca. Since heartworm is prevalent in the unprotected (41 percent of the owned; 100 percent of the homeless) dog population around here, the parasitic probability also exists to harm cats. Consider shielding your precious cats from the disease too, but talk to your veterinarian first.
Note: Recently I read unfair criticism singling out a town shelter for unknowingly adopting out a heartworm positive (HW+) dog. An irresponsible and oblivious public, not a town shelter, is to blame for the dog's illness. The more neglected the dog; the more likely to be heartworm infested. Finances and climate play a part. So many Katrina dogs had heartworm because they lived near the Gulf coast where infection rates approach 45 percent, were surrounded by dogs carrying larvae that could transmit to other dogs, and their owners were too poor to seek vet care.
Right now on LI only one formerly municipal, now privatized East End shelter, heartworm tests on intake. Some others let the adopter pay for the test. The diagnosis would still be a surprise.
All LI town shelter adoption policies have progressed compassionately over the last 25 years. Spay/neuter and adoption outreach are beginning to curtail over population. Thankfully, our pounds now hold dogs, even senior dogs, much longer than they have to by law. With prolonged stays comes the theoretical possibility that any dog could be sitting in a town shelter for months with hidden heartworm. Years ago many an owned dog would be euthanized immediately, a stray on the 8th day to make space for the influx.
Last month I pulled a sweet, matted Chow for Chow Rescue. We're dealing with her heartworm discovered at their vet. Wasn't the first time a healthy looking dog fooled me; probably won't be the last. Real rescuers expect the worst and are thrilled when they dodge a medical bullet. Heartworm happens.
Poster Dog Change of Adoption Venue this Week: Last Hope, Inc. is a small, non- profit rescue that takes special needs and long timer dogs from LI municipal shelters. There is only room for 10 at the Last Hope Dog Center adjoining Basic Vet Care, 642 Rt.109, Lindenhurst. (Private humane groups that rely on donations have the luxury of heartworm testing, treating infected dogs, and putting fosters on preventives. At the moment 1 Last Hope dog-"Patrick" -is being treated for heartworm.)
Think of Last Hope as a halfway house for hounds. Featured here are 2 of my old friends originally from Babylon Shelter. "Noah" is a 4 yr. comical Chow mix who loves to play with toys; while "Nikko" is a 6 yr. portly black Lab mix who belonged to someone now homeless. Both like other dogs.

My Team Is Better Than Yours: Golden State Warriors Edition
Rikiddo and some other people think Golden State will be a playoff team. I'm very skeptical of this claim. Maybe researching this preview will change my mind though. I do know they had two Anthony's absolutely dominate summer league when they were on the court. Randolph was continually getting double doubles and stuffing stat sheets. Morrow set a record with 42 points.
FSN Season Stats Head to Head
They scored 108.6 points per game. That was the second highest. They gave up 112.3 points per game. That was the worst in the league. The Warriors gave up the 4th most points off turnovers at 18.1 per game.
I love when a team can get to the line, and Golden State was the second best team in the league at free throw attempts. The only problem is that they averaged less than 1 more FTA per game. They were fouling just as much as they were getting fouled. The Spurs are just as bad here though.
Their pace bloats a lot of stats. For example, they are the 11th best rebounding team by total rebounds per game. They are also the worst team in term's of opposition's total rebounding giving up the most offensive boards of any team. They were middle of the road in assists per game, but second to last in opponent's assists per game. All of this adds up to what we all already knew: Golden State had a major problem of playing 150 mph on one end and letting teams get whatever they wanted at whatever pace they wanted on the other.
Last Season's Games
Sat, December 6 Golden State We win 123-88. "Duncan, Spurs hand Warriors ninth straight loss"
* They played 12 players more than 10 minutes each, and only 2 of them finished 50% or higher shooting (B. Wright and A. Randolph off the bench). Maggette led the inefficiency charge with 1 of 10 shooting.
* We shot over 55% led by Finley and Duncan both going 7 of 10. Finley was 3 of 4 for threes.
* 97 of our 123 points are still on the roster. Oberto had 13 of the 26 that are gone.
* We had 35 assists to their 11.
* No starter played more than 22 minutes. Oberto was second on the team with 24. Hill was first with 32 minutes.
* Biggest win of the season, 35 points.
An Informal Study in Facial Expressions
Randolph thinks: Duncan is so bad ass, must fight past him with all I have and score....
Duncan thinks: Who the hell does this guy think he is and what the hell does he think he is doing?
via nimg.sulekha.com
Mon, February 2 @ Golden State We win 110-105 in OT. "Spurs make up deficit in fourth, win in OT"
* The two Anthony's get DNP-CD's.
* Capt. Jack scored 33 points and had 11 assists in his crazy 53 minutes of play.
* They shoot slightly better, get more shots, have less turnovers, block more shots, get more steals, but give up 9 more rebounds (3 more offensive) and 16 more FTA's. We finish +13 FTM from the line. Manu was 11 of 12 from the line. They were 12 of 18.
* Duncan and Manu both score 32 points. Duncan adds 15 rebounds and 5 assists.
* 99 of our 110 points are still on the roster. KT had 7 points and 15 rebounds in 27 minutes off the bench.
* We were 12 down with less than 9 minutes to play in the 4th.
Tue, March 24 Golden State We win 107-106. "Spurs hang on for close win after tough losses"
* No Manu.
* The Anthony's score 19 of the G.S. benches' 30 points. Our bench only scores 17 total.
* G.S. gets 8 more offensive boards and 13 more shots. They make one more.
* Duncan gets 21 points on 9 shots in 24 minutes of play. 13 FTA's on 9 FGA's...absolutely disgusting. 4 assists to one turnover as well.
* Parker double doubles with 30 points and 10 assists. He finishes with only 3 turnovers too.
* All 17 points off the bench were scored by players no longer on the roster. Thomas, Gooden, and Bowen each had 4 points. So 90 points are still on the roster.
* Mason hit the game winner. Monta Ellis bricked a 3 pointer that would have given them a 2 point win.
"Jerk, don't you see how much I have to focus on dribbling even without you arabesqueing all over me."

Mon, April 13 @Golden State We win 101-72. "Parker, Duncan help Spurs keep pace with Rockets in Southwest"
* Our last road game of the regular season and our second biggest road win at 29 points.
* No Manu and G.S. was in full end of the season tanking/gone fishing mode. Ellis, Jackson, Maggette, Crawford, Belinelli, and Wright all didn't play due to injuries or DNP-CD's.
* Randolph led G.S. with 24 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals.
* 33 points are no longer on our team. Gooden scored 20 points off the bench. He also had 15 rebounds.
* We had 16 more rebounds (6 more offensive) and 10 more assists. We also added +11 FTA's.
Warriors Roster Changes
They drafted one player, Stephen Curry. I watched this guy absolutely take games over in college. He is a game changer and a guy who wants the ball at the end. This is an aside, but this trait was the one thing I liked about Drew Gooden last year. He was never scared of any team's defense and was always calling for the ball. You need guys like this on a team. I'm not sure Golden State doesn't already have 8 or 9 other guys that already feel this way though.... Either way, he is a great player and fits the Golden State system. One of his Draft Express weaknesses is that he isn't quite a 1 and not quite a 2. I don't think that will matter much in G.S.'s offense. They don't play defense so it doesn't matter if he can't guard the opposing 2 guard or not.
Stephen Curry Ultimate Highlight (via tapdancingtommy)
They also traded Jamal Crawford and Marco Belinelli for Acie Law, Speedy Claxton, and Devean George net. Acie Law is an appropriately to underrated talent. I think he has some potential and always seemed like a quality attitude player. Speedy Claxton is a good back up point guard if he gets minutes in Nellie's offense. Same goes for George.
C.J. Watson is unsigned at this point.
The Match-Up
PG: Tony Parker versus Monta Ellis: Advantage Spurs: Monta Ellis is a serious talent. This match-up is closer than it looks. Both guys are likely to get theirs in this match-up.
SG: Roger Mason versus Stephen Jackson: Advantage Warriors: If Stephen Jackson is on, he is unstoppable. We know this first hand. Mason may fit our system better, but if salaries were equal, I'd much rather have Jackson than Mason on my team. We can debate character issues.
SF: Richard Jefferson versus Corey Maggette: Advantage Spurs: I would probably have put this as a wash before doing my research. Maggette was absolutely horrible against us last season. That was against who, Finley? Bonner? If he comes back healthy, he may be able to pass RJ. There was a time the Spurs FO and some fans (me included) wanted Maggette. That seems like a long time ago now.
PF: Antonio McDyess versus Anthony Randolph: Advantage Warriors: Randolph is an absolutely solid player. He needs to improve on defense but likely won't for Nellie. He showed in Summer League that he was on a different level from his competition if you can even call it that. I think Golden State's playoff hopes lie in a large part in his progression and increased role.
C: Tim Duncan versus Andris Biedrins: Advantage Spurs: This isn't close. Biedrins is a fitting big for their system and is still only 23 after 5 years in the league.
Point Guard: Hill vs Claxton and Law: I'm not sure about this one. I hope Hill shows the development and ownership of the backup PG role. Claxton can run the offense and Law is a good developing talent. Curry is added depth at the 1, but I'm listing him at the wing.
I really like this picture, but I get the feeling this doesn't end in points for us. It's just one image but I see 5 Warriors and 2 Spurs. Hill is collapsing the D, but where is the kick out?
via a.espncdn.com
Wings: Manu, Finley, Hairston, and Williams vs Curry, Morrow, Azubuike, and George: For me, this is probably the closest wing match-up we have had. If Curry delivers and Morrow continues his growth like he seems to be, they will be scary. Azubuike is a serious role player. He is the type of player that might be starting on another team and lose every match-up. It is great depth for G.S. to have him off the bench. He is only 25 years old himself.
Front Court: Blair, Mahinmi, Bonner, Haislip, and Ratliff vs Turiaf and Wright: They are incredibly shallow here but play small ball anyways. They will continue to get out-rebounded like crazy next season. Lots of teams will get second chance baskets against them, and Blair should have some awesome games when his size is even less of a factor.
Coaching: Advantage Spurs. They need to bring in Avery as a defensive coach or let him coach one season. Tell him he can't make any trades and needs to focus on defense. Then let Nellie take back over in 2010-11, and the team will be incredible. See Devin Harris in NJ.
"Yo, Bonner, stand with your arms up between him and the basket, and Finley, how about you keep him in front of you to begin with!" says Duncan coaching the Spurs to a better team defense. via www.csum.edu
Result: They are a fast paced, run and gun team. We are a methodical team that runs "plays". Yes, we are more equipped than ever to run, but it's not like Golden State. They could steal a game from us if they are on fire and we start missing 3's. These games should be wins though. I have to admit that I am more optimistic about their roster than I was before writing this, but without serious efforts on the glass and on defense, they will always just be a crap-shoot. It wouldn't surprise me if they were 6th in the West. It wouldn't surprise me if they were 12th.
The Schedule
Wed, Nov 25 vs Golden State: Last game of a 4 game home stretch. We will have played 9 home games to 4 road games at this point in the schedule and should be looking pretty solid integrating our new additions.
Wed, Dec 16 @ Golden State: Last game of a 3 game road trip and a SEGABABA (@ Suns first). After the back to back we get 2 days off and then 3 games in a row at home so we can push the stars in this back to back if we need to.
Fri, Mar 19 vs Golden State: On March 12th, we start a road-home back to back. We get two days off then a road-road back to back. We then get one day off and then play this game at home. We then get another day off before heading off for another road-road back to back. Then a day off before the Lakers come to SA. This is a brutal stretch, and this G.S. game is an important one to get some rest if the back to backs prove trying. We definitely don't want Duncan running Golden State's pace for 35+ minutes in this gauntlet.
So that is my Spurs-Warriors preview for next season. Next up is the Toronto Raptors. We are skipping the Knicks until David Lee gets sorted out. In general, the order will be more flexible going forward. I plan on making sure I've written about a team before we play them in preseason. That means the Rockets and Cavs will likely get bumped up. Everyone knows the Cavs going after the Lakers would have been anticlimactic anyways though.
a spurs fan's opinion of this year's match up
Discuss anything related to Golden State Warriors basketball here
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, 32
happened to stumble upon this today. I found it kind of interesting.
I agree with much, but don't think the team will get 6th in West that's for sure. If all went smoothly, yea it would happen, maybe top 5 even, but it won't. The issue of defense is very valid with the team, always has been and it doesn't matter how much talent the players have, you have to play together and play both ends and that is the main reasons the team doesn't win

After consecutive comprehensive defeats on their travels, Uruguay will try to conquer their away struggles in the high altitude of La Paz when they take on Bolivia on Tuesday as the South American 2014 World Cup qualifying competition enters its second half.
The reigning Copa America champions currently occupy the fourth and final automatic qualification spot for Brazil 2014, but find themselves level on points with fifth-placed Chile and just one ahead of sixth-placed Venezuela.
Having conceded seven goals in away defeats to Colombia (4-0) and Argentina (3-0), La Celeste's defence will be stretched further in the Bolivian capital with captain Diego Lugano, Diego Godin and Martin Caceres all ruled out through suspension.
Oscar Tabarez's side have collected just one point away from Montevideo's Estadio Centenario, but Benfica full-back Maxi Pereira says a victory on Tuesday is essential.
"We have to win in Bolivia, there is no alternative."
Lugano, who helped guide Uruguay to the semi-finals in South Africa two years ago, echoed those sentiments, saying: "Now every game for us is like a final because our World Cup qualification is in danger."
Uruguay will have little time to adjust to the altitude -- the Estadio Hernando Siles is some 3,600 metres above sea level -- but Pereira says that can't be used as an excuse.
"I played in the altitude in the last campaign, coming on in the second half. At first it sets you back a bit, but after you can bear it."
However unlike Ecuador, who have turned their Quito stadium into a fortress, Bolivia's home qualifying record is far less impressive with just one win from four matches.
Xabier Azkargorta's men realistically need three points on Tuesday to keep their quickly fading hopes alive.
Argentina, unbeaten in their past six qualifiers, can take another step towards clinching their place in the finals when they face a depleted Chile in Santiago.
Chile succumbed to Ecuador in Quito on Friday, but the repercussions of that defeat have also left Claudio Borghi without midfielder Arturo Vidal and Pablo Contreras -- both players were sent-off -- while Osvaldo Gonzalez is also suspended after accruing his second yellow card of the campaign.
Miguel Pinto, meanwhile, will continue to deputise in goal for the injured Claudio Bravo.
Argentina, who lead the standings with 17 points from eight matches, have injury concerns of their own after Gonzalo Higuain (hip) and Marcos Rojo (hamstring) were forced off during La Albiceleste's 3-0 win over Uruguay.
However, Alejandro Sabella does have an in-form Lionel Messi at his disposal.
Since Sabella's arrival, the Barcelona superstar has tallied 13 goals in as many matches and received widepsread acclaim for his two-goal performance against Uruguay.
Messi was also on the scoresheet when Argentina won the reverse fixture 4-1 in Buenos Aires last October, and the 25-year-old is now just four shy of Diego Maradona's 34 international goals.
Elsewhere, Venezuela have genuine ambitions of qualifying for the World Cup for the first time.
Cesar Farias' side are one point from an automatic berth as they prepare to host Ecuador.
Reinaldo Rueda's Ecuador have proved unstoppable at home, with five wins from as many matches.
However, it's been a different story on the road, where they've picked up just one point from three matches.
Ecuador will be without the suspended Felipe Caicedo, who scored twice in Friday's 3-1 win over Chile and has four goals in his last three matches for his country, but Antonio Valencia is available again following his one-match ban.
Paraguay and Peru meet in Asuncion in the other match.
Paraguay are bottom with a mere four points having lost five qualifiers in a row, their worst run since the current system was introduced in 1996, while seventh-placed Peru lie on eight points.

Create root filesystem snapshots with LVM
Template:Article summary start Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary heading Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary heading Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary end
You need a system with LVM root filesystem and systemd. Check if LVM snapshots are correctly setup.
During system start a clean snapshot of the root volume is
created using a new service. Create
/etc/systemd/system/mk-lvm-snapshots.service containing:
[Unit] Descriptionm=ake LVM snapshots Requires=local-fs-pre.target DefaultDependencies=no Conflicts=shutdown.target After=local-fs-pre.target Before=local-fs.target [Install] WantedBy=make-snapshots.target [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/sbin/lvcreate -L10G -n snap-root -s lvmvolume/root
Adapt the
lvcreate command to match your root volume group and volume name.
Adjust the snapshot size if necessary.
Create a new systemd target
/etc/systemd/system/make-snapshots.target with this service:
[Unit] Description=Make Snapshots Requires=multi-user.target
Adapt the base target, if
multi-user.target is not your default target.
Enable the new service with
systemctl enable mk-lvm-snapshots.service.
If the system is started with the new target, LVM snapshot(s) are created just after mounting the local filesystems.
To get a grub menu entry starting this target create
/boot/grub/custom.cfg based on the
grub.cfg entry for your normal startup. The kernel command line is extended to start the new
### make snapshots ### menuentry 'Arch GNU/Linux, make snapshots' --class arch --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { ... echo 'Loading Linux core repo kernel ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/mapper/lvmvolume-root ro systemd.unit=make-snapshots.target echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img }
Remember to adjust
custom.cfg if
grub.cfg changes.
After restarting the system with this grub entry
lvs should show up the newly created snapshot.
journalctl -u mk-lvm-snapshots.service.
To use this functionality for a full system backup, restart your system with the snapshot creation target. Mount the snapshot volume (and further volumes, if required), preferably using the read only (-o) option. Then backup your system, for example with tar as described in Full_System_Backup_with_tar.
During backup you can continue your system normally, since all changes to your regular volumes are invisible in the snapshots. Do not forget to delete the snapshot volume after the backup -- changes to your regular volume will use up space in the snapshot due to the copy-on-write operations. If the snapshot space becomes fully used LVM will deny further writes to your regular volumes, which should be avoided.
Revert updates
An other use for LVM snapshots is testing and reverting of updates. In this case create a snapshot for the system in a known good state and perform updates or changes afterwards.
If you want to permantly stick to the updates just drop the snapshot. If you want to revert to the snapshotted
state issue a
lvchange --merge for the snapshot. During the next restart of the system the snapshot
is merged back into your regular volume. All changes to the volume happened after the snapshot are undone.
Known issues
Due to bug 681582 shutting down the system with active snapshots may hang for some time.

Eusebio leaves hospital after Poland scare
Former Portugal and Benfica great Eusebio, who suffered a stroke during his stay in Poland to watch Euro 2012, was discharged from a Lisbon hospital on Wednesday, the hospital said.
Eusebio, 70, was admitted to Lisbon's Luz hospital two weeks ago after arriving on a medical flight from Poland.
"Eusebio left the hospital this afternoon, feeling good and out to have a meal," Luz hospital spokesman, Joao Paulo Gama, told Reuters. "He will be doing physiotherapy at home".
Eusebio, Portugal's football ambassador, has been admitted to hospital four times since December. He has been suffering from hypertension.
Nicknamed the 'black panther', Eusebio grabbed international headlines during the 1966 World Cup in England when Portugal finished third. He also helped his Portuguese club side Benfica reach four European Cup finals in the 1960s.

Taylor Swift Admits She's 'Stupid' in Love on 'The Tonight Show'
Taylor Swift is a walking anomaly. She's risen to the top of the charts with songs about love and loss, while at the same time assuring the public that she's absolutely loving being single. On 'The Tonight Show' with Jay Leno on Monday (Feb. 20), Swift opened up a bit about her Grammy-winning song 'Mean' and gave some insight into one of the reasons she is perhaps so content to be living the single life for a while.
"I'm a Sagittarius, and it says one of our major qualities is that we're blindly optimistic," she tells Leno in the clip below. "So when I'm in love, I'm just stupid about it, and I trust people – constantly. And then I always am like, 'I'm not gonna trust people anymore. I'm gonna be one of those dark, twisty girls who guys love because they're all like guarded and stuff.' And then I just trust people again."
This moment of truth came just after Leno asked the country starlet about her quote in her recent 'Vogue' cover story, where she said, "I'm smart unless I'm in love." Speaking of her 'Vogue' experience, Swift gushed about how she was so excited to finally be able to live that dream. "I just loved the whole shoot, working with the coolest photographer and stylist and people," she said. Even when the team cut her hair and put her in a hat, she says she just said 'OK' because that's what you do when you're working with 'Vogue.'
Looking back on her recent two-Grammy win, Swift offered a little explanation behind her hit song 'Mean,' which most people assume to be about an experience she had in high school… but actually has a totally different origin.
"A lot of people think that I wrote it about being bullied in high school, and when the song went out into the world it kind of became that," she explains. "But I actually wrote the song about a critic who kept giving me really bad reviews. Nothing ruins your day like getting a bad review. And then there's this scathing review which is kind of past constructive criticism, and it's kind of more into like I hate you territory, which is mean."
While Swift shares that you never develop skin thick enough to handle those reviews, she says she loves hearing that others relate and are able to get out of abusive relationships or bullying situations because they feel empowered by the song. Still, the country star — who admits to getting her feelings hurt easily — says she no longer checks her Google alerts to see what people are saying about her.

Team Prenda Slammed Again, Found In Contempt; Judge Blasts Their Attempts To Plead Poverty
from the nice-try,-guys dept
Team Prenda has been avoiding paying that ever since. There was an amusing hearing back in February in which they weakly sought to justify the non-payment, first quibbling with Judge David Herndon that the original order to pay up was a "money judgment" rather than an order, in the belief that this would give them more flexibility in paying. That ridiculous argument was more or less dismissed out of hand by Judge Herndon quickly. Following that, John Steele and Paul Hansmeier specifically tried to plead poverty, arguing that they simply couldn't pay the amount. Judge Herndon said, effectively, okay: prove it. And while they filed documents that attempt to prove that, Judge Herndon is not buying it at all. In a ruling earlier this week finding Paul Duffy, John Steele and Paul Hansmeier in contempt, Herndon noted that even in filing financial statements, it appeared they were trying to deceive the court:
In the case where there has been no attempt to comply with the Court's order, plaintiff's counsel must show a "complete inability to pay." ... Plaintiff's counsel, "stated differently, . . . [has] the burden of establishing clearly, plainly, and unmistakably that compliance is impossible." ....Given all that, he notes that Team Prenda "significantly violated an unambiguous order of the Court" and has tacked on an additional 10% to the original order, giving them until March 31st to pay up... or the amount will keep going up at $500 per attorney per day (so $1,500 more per day). After another 30 days, the amount will increase to $1,000 per attorney per day. Hansmeier is already begging for a reconsideration, but given how many times these guys have been called out for attempted deceptions in court, it seems unlikely he's going to have much luck.
The Court finds that plaintiff's counsel has not met its burden. They submitted incomplete, and to say the least suspicious, statements of financial condition. Attached to each statement was a letter from their certified public accountant ("CPA"). In these letters, the CPA indicates a departure from generally accepted accounting principles. He further notes that plaintiff's counsel elected to omit substantially all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The Court finds these statements insufficient to establish plaintiff's counsel's inability to pay.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – The Conference Carolinas office announced its cross country academic all-conference teams on Tuesday morning, and King University was well represented. Six King University student-athletes were named to the squads, the second-most in the conference behind North Greenville University's seven.
Senior women's runner Evan Ferrell headlines the list of Tornado athletes named to the team with a perfect 4.0 total GPA. She has run in the second position during every race for the Tornado this season and set a personal record time at the Royal Cross Country Challenge on October 11 in Charlotte, N.C. with a time of 19:00.1, the sixth-fastest time in school history. Seniors Kendra Sokol and Eliza Parker joined Ferrell on the academic all-conference team with GPAs of 3.84 and 3.70, respectively. Sokol has been King's third runner across the line in every meet while Parker is King's No. 4 runner. Both joined Ferrell in setting personal records at the Royal Cross Country Challenge.
The Tornado also had three student-athletes named to the men's team. Senior Taylor Dix had the highest GPA among the King runners selected to the team at 3.68 and ran a season-best 27:50.5 in Charlotte. Dickson Kurgat, a junior No. 2 runner who recently ran the sixth-fastest time in school history, earned a selection with a 3.37 GPA. Senior Spencer Frantom, the Tornado's top runner, rounded out the men's selections from King with GPA of 3.28 and holds the record for the fastest time in school history.
The 2013 Conference Carolinas Men's & Women's Cross Country Academic All-Conference teams are comprised of junior and senior student-athletes with a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 or higher on a 4.0 scale in all work completed at their member institution and have played in a conference sponsored sport. The GPA is calculated based on the student-athlete's cumulative average through the previous semester and each student-athlete must have attended their member institution for at least one academic year.

Difference between revisions of "Closer To God (halo)"
From NinWiki
Latest revision as of 22:03, 22 December 2016
Closer To God (also known as Halo 9), released on May 30, 1994, is a remix compilation released to promote the song "Closer" from the album The Downward Spiral.
The "Thrust" remix of "Closer" was intended for this release, but was left off. Trent Reznor would later release it for free on remix.nin.com. The rest of the remixes from Closer To God are also available there. Another mix that didn't make the cut was released on the unofficial download-only compilation Uncoiled, and later released semi-officially on Recoiled.
Track Listing
Closer To God is available for download on iTunes and Amazon MP3
This version incorporates tracks from both UK EPs, sharing cover image with first and subtitle with second.
A "Closer" - 6:25
Released in a digipack format with space for two CDs. Titled "Closer" on outer package, but Further Away on the CD art.
12" Vinyl
Released in a slightly oversized cardsleeve with room for part 2.
"Closer to God"
Released in a slimline case with different artwork from Part 1.
12" Vinyl
Released in thinner cardsleeve for integration into part 1.
12" Promo Vinyl
A1 "Closer to God" - 5:25
The cover art is frequently misattributed to Russell Mills, as he created the art for all other releases from The Downward Spiral period. It was actually done by photographer Joseph Cultice, though he is uncredited on the packaging.[1]

"Welcome to the 'Top 10' weekly feature. Each week we will be taking a look at the top 10 selling games in a particular genre, platform, most recent month, even sprinkling in the top 10 selling games from a past year. All sales specified will be worldwide, unless stated otherwise.
This week we will be looking at the top 10 bestselling Mario games in order to celebrate the franchise selling its 500th million game. These are all the games that feature Mario in the title. Last week we looked at the top 10 bestselling Sega Genesis games and the week before that the top 10 bestselling games in November 2012. If there is a particular top 10 you want to see leave a comment and it may be featured in a future top 10."
Divide that by the number of games and it is less than 2.5 million sales per game
@BlmThug Mario has or has been in over 200 games so do your math over and I doubt each mario game sold only 2.5 million ha lol especially when mario kart on the wii sold over 32 million and I'm sure there are a lot of other examples do yo research dumbass and of course mario will continue to sell a shitload
As much as i respect Mario Bros. & the impact in gaming that the series has in the industry. I wish Nintendo can at least retire the plumber briefly to work on new IPs.
Not saying stop making games for the series but slow down on the amount of games Mario appears in. Nintendo is too dependent on Mario that for me personally is hampering the development of new series, Ips, or other Nintendo franchises that also deserve some spotlight (F-Zero Hello!? Star Fox?!).
Anyways congrats on the accomplishment cause it is well deserved no matter what the 'haters' say.
you must be out your mind as a hater.....i look forward to a great mario game every year....nintendo can work on new ips aside from that..
