Carafe Prevents Melt Down
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Smart Home, Misc. Tech,
The Kufra Pitcher is almost too perfect a concept. Holding 72 ounces of liquid, the 8.5 x 6.5-inch Italian Glass carafe features a removable plastic tube insert for 8 to 10 ice cubes which screws into the bottom of its plastic lid to keep your liquids from becoming watered-down. Frankly, for the modest price of $13.95, plastic stirrer included, we much prefer that than our usual popping our containers of lemonade in the freezer and forgetting about them until they explode.

The 2012 Washington Redskins are better than the first two Mike Shanahan teams in Washington. It just hasn't shown up the standings yet.
After the Redskins won six games in 2010 and five games in 2011, Robert Griffin III and friends are 3-5 at the midway point. Shanahan noted that this week's game against the Carolina Panthers essentially is a must-win. And the coach wants more help from his veteran leaders.
"This is where normally football teams are taken over by their veterans," Shanahan said in response to a question about his defense. "You can go one direction or the other. You expect these guys to play at a higher level, even with some inexperienced guys. You expect them to get the most out of these other players that may not have played at the highest level they can. It's either step up or shut up. And this is where you've got to get it done."
It's hard not to think Shanahan is sending a message here to some of his more vocal defensive players like DeAngelo Hall. The Redskins' offense is a legitimate top-10 group this year. They are dangerous running and throwing. They are a better side of the ball than anything Shanahan has had in Washington.
The defense under Jim Haslett is worse than ever, with Brian Orakpo's season-ending injury proving to be a crippling blow. Shanahan's message or clear: Things need to turn around, or big changes will be made in the offseason.

May 1, 2008
BABSON PARK, Mass. - The New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference announced its annual postseason awards, and for the second consecutive year, Stephen Morton was named NEWMAC Male Athlete of the Year. After leading MIT to an unexpected eighth straight league crown, head coach Halston Taylor earned additional plaudits as NEWMAC Coach of the Year.
Morton earned First Team All-Conference honors with individual wins in the 100-meter dash and long jump while securing second-team accolades in the 200m. The sophomore star won three events last year to bring his championship career total to five.
The Engineers secured seven First-Team All-Conference honors behind seven individual victories and added five second-team accolades. In addition to Morton's pair, additional first team honors went to Joseph Roy-Mayhew (5000m), Jack Bourbonnais (10000m), Paul Welle (steeplechase), Greg Tao (pole vault) and James Oleinik (shot put).
Taylor's postseason nod was his 19th NEWMAC coaching honor, including his eighth Coach of the Year award in track. Taylor was named NEWMAC Coach of the Year earlier this season in both men's and women's cross country.

American Woman and Family Released by Afghan Captors After 5 Years
By Sam Dorman
October 12, 2017
UPDATE: The family is now refusing to board a flight to the United States. According to Fox News, Josh Boyle, is worried that if he returns to the U.S. he will end up in Guantanamo Bay due to his previous marriage to the sister of a man who spent ten years in the notorious prison for killing a U.S. special forces medic.
On Thursday, the Pakistani government announced that its military participated in an operation that freed an American woman and her family from years of captivity under a Taliban-affiliated network.
The Pakistani military cooperated with U.S. intelligence, which discovered that the family's captors, who were part of the Haqqani network, crossed the Afghanistan-Pakistan border on Oct. 11.
As Fox News reported, the captors took 32-year-old Caitlan Coleman and her husband, Josh Boyle, hostage in 2012 when Coleman was seven months pregnant. By the time of their release, the family had three children with them, two of which seemed to appear in a 2016 video with their mother, who pleaded for help.
"My children have seen their mother defiled," Coleman reportedly said. She pleaded with former President Barack Obama not to "become the next Jimmy Carter," who was president during the Iran hostage crisis.

"Proof of Intentions!!" (意志の証明!!, Ishi no Shōmei!!, Viz: Proof of Will!) is chapter 569 of the original Naruto manga.
Son Gokū tells Naruto that it won't become his ally even if he saves it, unless it can trust Naruto, who is OK with that. Kurama ponders that it knows Naruto, and that nothing he can say will reach a tailed beast. Tobi pulls Son towards himself with chains intent on absorbing them both. B's still trying to make Son open its mouth and release Naruto. Naruto fails to make Son open its mouth, and decides using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to make Son puke him out, which it does. B celebrates it. Son tells Naruto that the chakra receiver in him slid from its chest to its neck because of the full tailed beast transformation. Naruto spots it, enters in his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, and sets out to remove it, apologising to Son in advance if he needs to get rough. Naruto pulls himself towards the receiver. Tobi tries binding Naruto with the chains. Kurama recalls Naruto's past achievements, and thinks that if Naruto truly wants to help tailed beasts, that he should do like he always has and act. Naruto tries pulling out the chakra receiver, while a clone he left inside Son enters Sage Mode tries pushing it from the inside.

jkhoffman needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 99 designs submitted by 28 freelance designers.
I'm a corporate refugee (a software engineer) who has found new life as a network marketer. I use my blog coupled with social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to sell products and services online in partnership with affiliate, multi-level marketing and direct sales companies.
I have a special interest in networking with other Internet marketers, with whom I can form beneficial partnerships. So are my peers. We're all interested in getting to know other "online influencers."
So, I've created http://networkrz.com, a vertical-market microblogging site by network marketers for network marketers.
The primary audience for this site will be "independent distributors" for companies like Amway, Mary Kay, Avon, MonaVie, Wealth Masters International, etc... in other words, home business owners who are using social media to network with others in the industry.
This audience has big dreams for financial freedom, leaving the corporate world behind, spending quality time with their families, etc., and they see the Internet (and social media) as a way to achieve that.
The most popular community site currently serving this market is http://betternetworker.com. You can get a better feel for the market there.
The logo should feel like it "fits" the social web.
It should feel professional, but also fit the "life of financial freedom" culture. Think "casual day," not suit & tie.
The final site design will have a nice, modern "Apple inspired" theme, so don't worry... your logo will be framed nicely.
When designing your submission, keep in mind that the logo will be used:
- On the web site.
- As the basis for the site's favicon.
- On shirts, mouse pads, etc.
- On "social badges" on people's blogs, etc.
Be creative!
I'm not looking for a "me too." I'm looking for something sharp & clever that fits the market.

Wayland unveils endowed scholarship plaque from trustee
Officials at Wayland Baptist University recognized their board chairman and his wife during the trustee luncheon for contributions that created an endowed scholarship.
Mark and Linda Murdock of Lubbock were present for the unveiling of the plaque that will hang in the Hall of Honor in Wayland's McClung University Center, commemorating the creation of the Mark L III and Linda M. Murdock Endowed Scholarship.
Mr. Murdock has served as the chairman of Wayland's Board of Trustees from 1999-2001 and has been supportive of many of the university's endeavors. He is a 1963 graduate of Baylor University, holding a degree in religion. He retired in 1999 from Crossmark, Inc., a food brokerage business with which he spent 37 years, 16 of that as president. He has served the Wayland board since 1992 and is a deacon at Oakwood Baptist Church in Lubbock
Linda Moore Murdock holds a bachelor's degree in elementary education from Baylor University. The couple has two children, Karen McMillian and Kyle Murdock, and four granddaughters.
"Being the recipients of Christian education, we are committed to ensuring that future generations of students will have the opportunity to receive a quality education in a Christian atmosphere," the Murdocks said.
An endowed scholarship provides perpetual funding through investments with the Baptist Foundation of Texas. Once donations total $25,000, the money is invested and interest withdrawn annually to help fund student scholarships

Lisa Bloom Isn't Impressed by Your 'Swagger'
There's a lot to be said for Lisa Bloom, the fiery civil rights attorney, television legal contributor, and best-selling author. A tireless advocate for those victimized, Bloom follows in the footsteps of her iconic mother Gloria Allred in taking on institutions that devalue life.
Her first book, "Think: Straight Talk for Women to Stay Smart in a Dumbed Down World," was met with glowing reviews in 2011. Only one year later, Bloom has returned with the hard-hitting "Swagger: 10 Urgent Rules for Raising Boys in an Era of Failing Schools, Mass Joblessness, and Thug Culture."
She took time out of her intensely busy schedule to discuss the new book with EDGE and talk a bit about the challenges facing boys in the 21st century.
EDGE: Congratulations on "Swagger" becoming the top-selling parenting book in the country! What inspired you to write a book dedicated to boys?
LISA BLOOM: Thanks! Last year I wrote my first book, "Think: Straight Talk for Women to Stay Smart in a Dumbed-Down World," all about how tabloid media, reality shows and the beauty industry have such a negative influence on women and girls, and what we can do to push back and reclaim our brains. I have spoken to groups all over the country about this. Afterwards, many parents would ask my thoughts about the problems facing boys.
My reaction was, ignorantly, "What problems?" So many people persisted in this question that I began to look into it. I decided to write an article about it. As I continued to research the latest social science - how boys are medicated, disciplined, suspended and expelled far more often than girls... That the majority of our Hispanic and African-American boys drop out of high school, that four times as many young men are incarcerated today than when I was a kid - I was appalled.
I spoke to parents, teachers, administrators, many boys and young men, and kept researching and writing about what I found. The article turned into the book, "Swagger." I wanted to alert parents about how harsh our country has become towards our boys who falter, and give concrete, practical steps any parent can use to raise smart, successful sons.
EDGE: How do you think the culture of "swagger" became so prevalent?
LISA BLOOM: I call the book "Swagger" because "swagger" is the most common song lyric of the last decade, across all genres: rap, hip hop, even the Jonas Brothers are singing about it! It's also the #1 attitude modeled for boys in movies, TV and games they love. Every boy I spoke to knows all about swagger - but few parents do. Swagger is an attitude of overconfidence, often crossing the line into arrogance.
For example, American kids rank #25 out of 30 developed countries in math. But in one area they are #1: confidence. And the research is clear that overconfident kids do worse in school, have more emotional problems, and are more likely to take dangerous risks, drink and do illegal drugs. In the book, I advocate a return to the lost value of humility. The Bible says, "With humility comes wisdom." And the social science bears that out.
Calling out Justin Bieber
EDGE: You recently called out Justin Bieber for his careless remarks demeaning school and reading. What are some ways parents can make reading a joy for boys who think it isn't "cool"?
LISA BLOOM: Parents must always model the behavior they want to see in their kids. "Do as I say, not as I do, kid," has never worked, and it still doesn't. Reading is so critical to your kids' future it can hardly be overestimated. Parents, you must read for pleasure in front of your kids. Model for them that reading is a pleasure. After dinner, turn off all those toxic screens: TV, computer, video games, "anything with an on/off switch" as they say on planes. Plop down on the sofa with your book, and invite your kid to grab his book and join you. Read the great parts out loud. Groan when you're called away to do something else. Take family trips to the library or bookstore for author events.
I have a twelve page list of "Books Boys Love" at the end of "Swagger." Connect your boy with books in his area of interest. Your library is bursting with them.
EDGE: Minority males experience illiteracy at a much higher rate than their white counterparts due to socio-economic factors and struggling schools. The consequence are especially dire for African-American males. How can parents and the community help address this problem?
LISA BLOOM: "Dire" is right. In "Swagger" I talk about public school teachers in low income areas who go online to beg for books for their first graders. Shame on us for putting them in that position.
The answers for African-American parents are the same as for all of us: speak out loudly and often about your values; make your home a reading mecca; eliminate the competition (screens) as much as possible in your home; set college expectations early; and all the other rules in my book.
I visited schools in low income areas in New York and California where kids had phenomenal literacy skills. Parents and teachers worked closely together to set high expectations for their kids. It can be done, and is being done, when we make literacy, and numeracy - math literacy. a priority.
EDGE: You quote a disturbing fact most people probably don't know: More African-American men are imprisoned now than were enslaved at the time of the Civil War. Why is this not talked about?
LISA BLOOM: Probably most people don't know that, and so many other important facts about what's going on today. In my research last year, I found that college students could name more Kardashians than wars we are in.
The mass incarceration of our own citizens is a hideous problem. We imprison more of our own people than any other country on earth, and more than any country in human history. Many can't vote when they get out, so politicians have no reason to care about them. Our incarcerated citizens, 93% are male, come from poor communities who get little attention to begin with.
And we shame them and their families, even after they're out and have "done their time," by making it next to impossible to get jobs, business licenses, student loans, even food stamps. That's how punitive we are: not even food stamps. I heard from a young man whose dream of becoming a nurse was blocked by an old marijuana possession conviction. And now he's unemployed, living on a friend's couch, depressed and suicidal. Our drug laws are intensely cruel.
Take out the ear buds
EDGE: In mainstream thug culture, the role models sold to males traffic severely in violence, misogyny, and homophobia. How can parents help their children who are exposed to these forces, since eradicating them entirely isn't an option?
LISA BLOOM: Step One: Take out the earbuds and listen to what you kids is listening to. You are about to be appalled. If you don't understand the lyrics, Google them and get translations of unknown words on UrbanDictionary.com.
Step Two: Limit his exposure to stuff that's age-inappropriate. When in doubt, turn it off.
Step Three: Engage him in conversations about this stuff. I have scripts in the book for how to do this. Speak out about your values loudly and often.
EDGE: You've been a strong, consistent voice for animal welfare. Talk a little about the effect removing violence from the dinner table can have on boys.
LISA BLOOM: My eleven year old nephew, Tennessee, just went vegetarian because of his compassion for animals. Thankfully, his family is supportive. We must always support our kids' choices to be kind and caring, even if we choose to live a different way. So much in our culture teaches boys that manhood is defined by cruelty, thuggery, violence, assault, even rape. How fabulous when a kid rejects that.
I'm a lifelong vegetarian and went vegan three years ago. I could write an entire book about how this has changed my life so profoundly. At 50, I'm healthier than most 25 year-olds. I run marathons and climb mountains, waiting for everyone else to catch up. Even better is the connection I feel with animals and the planet, knowing that I boycott the intensely cruel factory farming industry three times a day.
Children naturally love animals. At some point, we drum that out of them, teaching that they "have to" eat meat and just accept the cruelty inherent in that. But it's a lie. I'm inspired by parents who raise vegetarian or vegan kids, and by the children who make that choice for themselves. They have to wonder, "If everyone else is wrong about eating meat, what else are they wrong about?"
EDGE: What are some of the benefits of having an animal companion in the home?
LISA BLOOM: Children with animals at home have better social skills, are more emotionally stable, are better able to read nonverbal communications, and even have stronger immune systems. And they're less afraid of dogs as adults.
I can't imagine my childhood without my dogs, nor my kids' childhood without theirs. Our rescues are members of the family. If nothing else, they teach us humans the proper way to greet someone at the front door: with a lot of jumping up and down and enthusiastic kissing!
EDGE: One of the most unique elements of "Swagger" is that you personally interviewed adolescent males. What about the boys did you find most surprising?
LISA BLOOM: Their eagerness to talk to me. I thought it would be a challenge to get them to open up. But they talked and talked, until they were pulled away. I thought, "Does no one really talk to them about their lives?" Our boys are far more sensitive than they let on. They are dying for someone to pay attention to them, to hear them out.
EDGE: Many boys grow up with hard-working single moms, as their fathers have left. Are there ways these kids can connect with positive male influences?
LISA BLOOM: Big Brothers of America is a fabulous program. My fiancé has had a "Little Brother" for years, and it's been a beautiful thing in both their lives. Enlist grandfathers, uncles, cousins. Boys love their moms but emulate their dads. When dads are gone, conscript a good man to be present in his life. Once a week, he can take your son to the park to throw a ball around and talk about life, or take him to the library and encourage a love of reading.
And men reading this - yes, this means you - Boys need you! Today, now! Pick one, and make a lifelong difference. In the book I have tips for how to do this.
EDGE: Thanks so much for taking the time to chat with EDGE. A final question: What is the central message you hope people take from 'Swagger'?
LISA BLOOM: My pleasure. As Frederick Douglass said, "It is easier to raise strong children than repair broken men." We can do this. We must do this. I'm unwilling to write off a generation of boys. I'm unwilling to look at them as feeders for our out-of-control prison system. I refuse to turn my back as they drop out of school and face staggering unemployment rates. They are our boys, and they deserve better. Our job is to get them there.
"Swagger: 10 Urgent Rules for Raising Boys in an Era of Failing Schools, Mass Joblessness, and Thug Culture" is available here in hardcover, unabridged audiobook, and e-book format.

Prince William and Catherine are coming to Canada. It's to be their first tour as a married couple. You know that famous shot of Diana hugging her boys, after not seeing them for a few days, she ran to them on that boat and embraced them enthusiastically?
Photo here. Video is below. Um, sorry about the cheesy music.
Not many people bothered to mention that Charles also warmly greeted his sons. He was also very affectionate with them. Anyway… a discussion for another time. My point? That also happened in Canada.
Today the Royal Tour schedule was announced. Not specific venues, but we do now know the cities:
June 30 – July 2: Capital Region (Ottawa, Ontario and Gatineau, Quebec)
July 2: Montreal
July 3: Quebec City
July 3 – 4: Charlottetown, PEI
July 4: Summerside, PEI
July 4 – 6: Yellowknife, NWT
July 6 – 8: Calgary, AB
They're going to Stampede!
And Kate is apparently big on Anne of Green Gables – good taste – and wants to see the house.
It's expected she'll have more than 40 outfit changes. Naturally a trip like this requires an entourage. Supposedly they're trying to keep their personnel accessories to what's absolutely necessary. So…
Pippa is getting photographed daily. She knows it. She's into it. She's shopping for it. And today she turned up at Roland Garros for the French Open and was treated like someone with a title. Please. That girl canNOT hide her enjoyment of all this. I mean, if I'm her, and those are my ambitions, I'm holding out a little before getting engaged to the boyfriend. There is a world of possibility out there.

About Booking Singing Groups
Hiring a singing group to perform at your event or venue can be a terrific entertainment choice. Contemporary singing groups are vocal musical bands who do not rely on musical instruments but instead "play" using their voices. A cappella music also includes Barbershop and Doo Wop music. Many vocal acts also add "vocal percussion" or "beatboxers" to mimic the sound of instrumentation. (one such group is performing this type of a capella music is Rockapella, and Bobby McFerrin is an a capella soloist) There also remains a strong a cappella presence within the live Christian music community, as seen in church events and festivals.
There are a few things you should do when hiring a Singing Group. First, always listen to audio and watch video samples. This will ensure that you book the best for your special event. Next, be sure to get a contract. Make sure to read this carefully and watch for specifications made by the group. Last, as with any other purchase you would make, read reviews and get references. Talk to people in the area and previous clients about the performers and get feedback.

Just finished reading an interview with 'The Rat,' where be was tossing thinly-veilled barbs at Pete. Such comments as 'You have to be yourself,' and 'Pete is Pete.' One adjective he used in particular was 'highly excitable.' He only gave Pete 'credit' for is results at USC. Even then, he was ambiguous enough to leave the meaning open for interpretation (NCAA violations or W/L). When asked how he himself would like to be remembered, he used something like 'calm, humble and consistent.'
Dang, I didn't like the dude much before, but at least I supported him when he chucked that football at Al Davis. Now I'm begging to think it would have been better if Al sent few henchmen to put that ball in a place requiring it to be surgically removed. What a self-centered p#ick.

European Commission
Press release
Brussels, 19 December 2012
Commission adopts technical standards for the Regulation on OTC derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories
The European Commission has today adopted nine regulatory and implementing technical standards to complement the obligations defined under the Regulation on OTC derivatives, central counterparties (CCPs) and trade repositories (the so-called European Markets Infrastructure Regulation - EMIR) which was adopted on 4 July and entered into force on 16 August 2012 (see MEMO/12/232). They were developed by the European Supervisory Authorities and have been endorsed by the European Commission without modification. The adoption of these technical standards finalises requirements for the mandatory clearing and reporting of transactions, in line with the EU's G20 commitment made in Pittsburgh in September 2009.
Internal Market and Services Commissioner Michel Barnier said: "The adoption of these technical standards is the final step in achieving the mandatory clearing and reporting of OTC derivatives and in meeting our G20 commitments. This will improve transparency in the trading of derivatives."
The technical standards will enter into force on the twentieth day following publication in the EU's Official Journal. As with any other EU Regulation, their provisions will be directly applicable (i.e. legally binding in all Member States without implementation into national law) from the day of entry into force.
One technical standard submitted by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on the specific point of colleges for central counterparties was not endorsed because of concerns as to the legality of some of the provisions. The European Commission will ask ESMA to redraft the standard and it will be adopted at a later stage. However, this will not affect the timing of the clearing obligation, or the timing of authorisation of CCPs under EMIR, since the provisions of this technical standard are not a prerequisite for CCPs to begin applying for authorisation under EMIR.
Key elements of the technical standards adopted today:
With regard to OTC (over-the-counter) derivatives, the regulatory technical standards specify the provisions of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) related to indirect clearing arrangements, the clearing obligation procedure, the public register, access to a trading venue, non-financial counterparties, and risk mitigation techniques for OTC derivatives contracts not cleared by a CCP.
With regard to central counterparties, the regulatory technical standards specify the provisions of EMIR related to the requirements for CCPs, as well as the capital, retained earnings and reserves of a CCP. The implementing technical standards specify the format of the records to be maintained by CCPs.
With regard to trade repositories, the regulatory technical standards specify the provisions of EMIR related to the minimum details of the data to be reported to trade repositories, the details of the application for registration as a trade repository, as well as the data to be published and made available by trade repositories and operational standards for aggregating, comparing and accessing the data. The implementing technical standards specify the format and frequency of trade reports to trade repositories and the format of applications for registration of trade repositories.
The regulatory technical standards will be published in the Official Journal of the European Union immediately following the receipt of 'non-objection' from the European Parliament and Council. The European Parliament and Council have one month to exercise their right of scrutiny, with this period extendable by an additional one month at their initiative. The regulatory technical standards will then enter into force on the twentieth day following that of their publication.
The implementing technical standards are not subject to the right of scrutiny of the European Parliament and Council. They will therefore be published in the Official Journal of the European Union right after their adoption and will enter into force on the twentieth day following that of their publication. Nevertheless, the provisions under the implementing technical standards will only take effect once the associated regulatory technical standards enter into force, since the provisions defined in the implementing acts complement provisions defined in the related regulatory technical standards and are not stand-alone obligations.

The Cardinals were a pick of mine to advance. I thought the Dodgers' pitching was suspect and Albert Pujols could take over a series. So far, I have been wrong. The Dodgers have limited the Cardinals to five runs in the two games and go for the sweep today in St. Louis.
Of course, if Matt Holliday could catch a line drive the NLDS would be tied at a game apiece. He couldn't and it is not.
That play was a major storyline. So is the Dodgers' unwillingness to pitch to Pujols. Like Barry Bonds a few years ago, Pujols is to be avoided.
Pujols, the NL MVP favorite, hit .327 with a major league-leading 47 homers and 135 RBI. He as also intentionally walked 44 times, most in the majors. In the first two games of this series the Dodgers have limited him to a single in six at-bats. They've walked him intentionally the three times he came to the plate with runners in scoring position.
"To me, Albert is just out there in a class by himself," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said Friday. "It may cost me, you know, a three-run homer instead of a two-run homer. But I'm still going to make somebody else beat me."
The Cardinals have the power to complement Pujols, but Los Angeles' pitching has been too good.
"One of the reasons we were a lot better in the last half of the year is we have protection behind him," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "If Albert keeps getting on base, we'll pick him up."
For the Cardinals, who stranded 14 runners in Game 1, it has to happen soon.

Check back for upcoming shows.
Genre: Rock
Members: Daniel Adair/Drums
Chad Kroeger/Guitar & Vocals
Ryan Peake/Guitar & Vocals<
Official Site: http://www.nickelback.com/
Band Bio: "We never take anything for granted," says Nickelback's Chad Kroeger. But this is one band that certainly could.
Since it rolled out of Alberta some 13 years ago, Nickelback has been hit-making, multi-platinum concern whose last album, 2005's All The Right Reasons is one of the most successful of the century, and has stoked great expectations for the quartet's sixth album, Dark Horse. A lesser group might rest on its proverbial laurels and assume the world is anxiously waiting for it, but Nickelback -- Kroeger, his brother and bassist Mike Kroeger, guitarist Ryan Peake and drummer Daniel Adair -- still feel like a new album is a fresh opportunity to prove themselves.
"I honestly think that with every song you release you have to keep winning your own fans over again," Chad Kroeger explains. "I want every single song to be amazing. That's what I want to hear, so that's what we have to try to provide to our fans."
His brother, bassist Mike Kroeger, adds that, "Any artist that is even surviving right now is a dark horse because things change pretty fast. You're a superstar one day and wake up the next day and you're anonymous. To be successful in any way is beating the odds right now, I think."
Nickelback is well ahead of those odds, and it continues to pulverize them with Dark Horse, an 11-track survey of everything the group has done so well to this point -- fist-pumping anthems, grinding rockers, soaring power ballads, grinning sexual innuendo, heart-wringing romanticism, choruses that stick in your ears after the first listen and hooks so big they practically boomerang through the songs.
And while Mike Kroeger contends that Dark Horse "isn't affecting some huge departure from our past efforts," it does find the band working in some fresh -- and rarefied -- rock 'n' roll territory. It marks the first time Nickelback has worked with an outside producer since Silver Side Up in 2001, but considering that producer is Robert John "Mutt" Lange, he of AC/DC "Back in Black," Def Leppard "Pyromania" and "Hysteria" and Foreigner "4" fame, it's easy to understand why the group was willing to open up the inner sanctum again.
"He was actually somebody we were interested in working with for a long time," notes Peake. "We had to think a lot about relinquishing a bit of that control to someone else. But we just said, 'Yeah, let's give it a shot.' If there's anybody we were gonna try to work with, it would be very cool to work with somebody like (Lange), who's done some pretty fantastic work in the past.
"And we knew we're way too headstrong to let someone else come in and make things totally different for us, no matter who they are!"
Nickelback's track record certainly speaks to the group's stature. The group has sold 27 million albums worldwide and, since the 2001 breakthrough of "How You Remind Me," has sent 13 singles rocketing onto the various Billboard charts, expanding its solid foothold in rock markets to the Top 40 world.
All The Right Reasons insured Nickelback an indelible place in rock history, however. It spent a staggering 112 consecutive weeks in the Top 30 of the Billboard Top 200, was certified 8-times platinum in the U.S. and has sold more than 11 million copies worldwide, topping charts in four countries. All The Right Reasons spun off seven multi-format singles and made Nickelback the first band in Nielsen BDS history to send five singles onto the CHR charts. All five of the album's videos hit No. 1 on VH1's playlist, while Nickelback has sold more than 9 million single digital downloads and more than 5 million ringtones of the album's songs. All The Right Reasons won the American Music Award for Favorite Pop/Rock Album and helped the quartet to three Billboard Music Awards in 2006 and a pair of Juno Awards in Canada. And on the road, Nickelback has sold more than 1.65 million concert tickets over the course of the album cycle.
"It wasn't like we all sat back and said, 'Oh my God, this is gonna be the biggest record of our lives,' " Chad Kroeger recalls. "It was us sitting around saying, 'we're really proud of this record, and I hope that everyone else is gonna love it half as much as we do.' And they did."
All The Right Reasons did, however, set a high bar for Dark Horse, but the members of Nickelback say they felt a different kind of pressure when they sat down with Lange to start working on the new album.
"That pressure has always been there; it's self-imposed pressure from before we started selling records," explains Mike Kroeger. "It's self-imposed pressure to do your best work."
Peake adds that, "I've been asked quite a bit about the pressure of a new album, and I don't buy into it. I didn't buy into it after (2001's six-times platinum) Silver Side Up, I didn't buy into it after (2003's three-times platinum) Long Road and I'm not gonna buy into it again. We just have to go in, do the best to our possible abilities and leave it up to the people."
Work on Dark Horse began in March, after Nickelback made its long-awaited contact with Lange. The band traveled to the producer's home base in Switzerland to begin going over song ideas. The tunes came from a variety of directions; for instance the dynamically swelling "If Today Was Your Last Day," had been around for awhile but hadn't been finished. "Chad brought it out of the vault and the creative juices started to flow," Mike Kroeger notes. Then there's "This Afternoon," whose acoustic, rootsy flavor, along with some downright country-style guitar licks represent a refreshing departure from the Nickelback norm. "It's a big-time part of our background," Mike Kroeger notes, "that whole laid-back, barroom kind of feel. Where we grew up everybody listened to country. I would say that song's our 'Friends In Low Places,' y'know?"
Dark Horse's other songs -- recorded during the summer at Chad Kroeger's converted barn studio in Vancouver -- traverse a wide terrain, from the arcing melodic ebb and flow of the first single, "Gotta Be Somebody" and the metallic groove of "Burn It To The Ground" to the heavy riffery of "Something In Your Mouth" and "The Next Go Round" and the inspiring balladry of "You'll Never Be Alone" and "I'd Come For You." "We're a rock band," Peake says. "We like to get heavy and we do like to write stuff that's melodic and maybe a little more mellow. It's nice to have both, and it's nice to have both accepted by the fans. There are some bands that can only put out one kind of thing, but our fans are pretty open so we don't get stuck in one place."
Mike Kroeger adds that, "I think people expect that level of effort or level of 'quality' from us. We don't pen ourselves into one identity; we're just trying out new things and doing some things we haven't done before...and making sure that it's as good as it can be and the cleanest and most refined version of what we do."
That's what comes honestly for Nickelback, And it seems to work time and again.
"We're kind of a people's band," Peake explains, "so we'll leave it up to them whether they like it or not. We're one of those bands people come back to, which is very cool."
Even when it's applied to a self-declared, multi-platinum dark horse.

Grey Blazer Long UK today Sleeve Slim Dark Suit Hoodie Mens Coat Solid Jacket q74RznwX4
Symphonic Prog • France
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website
With endless comparisons to King Crimson, Shylock remains one of the premier French symphonic bands. Other comparisons are made to Arachnoid and Pulsar. Darkness is the key here. Their influence can be felt in such bands as Xaal, Minimum Vital, Tiemko, and Änglagård.
1977's "Gialorgues" was recorded with the primary membership consisting of drummer André Fisichella, guitarist Frédéric l'Épée (who went on to play with Philharmonie), and keyboardist Didier Lustig. Bass player Serge Summa was added for the second album, 1978's "Ile di Fievres" (Fever Island).
Their outstanding moments are shown in their more lengthy compositions. However, virtuosic musicianship was never absent.

Shylock Symphonic Prog
Review by Mellotron Storm
Prog Reviewer
"Ile De Fievre" is the longest track at 13 minutes and a song that many claim to be one of the best tracks ever recorded. It's that good. Light synths to open before it kicks in after 1 1/2 minutes with guitar and drums. Incredible sound ! This is contrasted for a while with the organ section that follows until 3 minutes in when the tempo picks up and drums and synths lead. It then settles with relaxed guitar after 7 minutes then kicks back in before 8 minutes with mellotron and guitar. Nice bass and drumming here too. Mini-Moog before 11 minutes as bass joins in.
"Le Sang Des Capucines" opens with sounds coming and going. No real melody until the guitar offers that around a minute in. It kicks in before 2 1/2 minutes. Love the drumming as it builds. "Choral" is a short mellotron dominated track. "Himogene" opens with a really good bass / drum display. It eventually turns funky with guitar. Great sound. "Lierre D'aujourd'hui" is dark and haunting with some incredible drumming. "Laocksetal" settles a minute in. Check out the drums and especially the guitar that follows. It kicks in after 3 1/2 minutes. Nice. Bass a minute later. It settles again this time with percussion after 6 1/2 minutes. Mellotron rolls in. Synths come in and they get noisy late. Piano, bass and drums stand out early on "Le Dernier". Guitar joins in. It settles 3 minutes in then starts to build. It settles again after 6 1/2 minutes in then builds again. Great sound.
I highly recommend this classic from France. A solid 4 stars.

Shylock Symphonic Prog
Review by Coat Dark Mens Jacket Hoodie Suit Solid Grey today Blazer Sleeve Long Slim UK Area70
This all-instrumental album is most likely classified as symphonic, as it carries many of the dark overtones of compatriots Arachnoid and Pulsar, but Shylock also feature a strong fusion angle, especially through the guitar.
In addition to the sharp guitar attack, another "fusiony" edge comes through in the jagged rhythms, which points in small part to Zappa early 70s work and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Another comparison would be Italy's Arti e Mestieri, although not nearly as melodic in their songwriting. The track "Himogene" also reminds me of the funkier, looser side of Goblin. The keyboards have the dark, brooding quality which fans of French prog would consider a staple. They have a rich, analog depth that sets a great stage for the rest of the band.

Shylock is one of French symphonic's little gems from the '70s that occupy their own little niche. They are often compared to King Crimson but I find them somewhere between the harshness of some Crimson works and the more romantic German symphonic of the time such are Novalis and Rousseau, and not quite as rich as either example. In terms of their own countrymen they are less acclaimed than Carpe Diem, less playful than Ange, less luscious than Pentacle, more powerful than Clearlight and Pulsar, and not as dark as Arachnoid.
According to their bio the band was born in the summer of '74 when keyboardist Didier Lustig and drummer Andre Fisichella left their Nice based cover band to do something original. It fell into place like a storybook tale. They saw an ad leading them to guitarist Frederic Lepee and one day after their first meeting they agreed to start a prog band, becoming instant friends and sharing musical ideals. They took summer holiday in the French alps to begin working on material. A local priest allowed them to practice in the little village church which is the one you see on their album cover. There they labored intensely in the truest spirit of progressive music and unbridled enthusiasm: each member throwing ideas forward frantically and democratically until the pieces began to take shape. After holiday and back at college they began to search for a bass player but they never found one and instead guitarist Frederic would handle bass duties. The band began to play live dates and the following summer recorded their debut in a mere 10 days. The original pressing sold about 3,000 copies but was very well received and instantly gave them a name on the French prog scene.
The album consists of two main pieces of 13 and 19 minutes with a short piece in the middle. Both main pieces alternate the melodic and flowing with occasional harsher, in some cases experimental passages (the latter particularly in the second long track which features strange percussions/sounds.) There are moments that are simply wonderful with nicely arranged melodic themes and in particular the guitar is my favorite, with some very intense riffs and fast picked progressions. I think the first track contains the best ideas. But while Shylock is an occasional spin for me they are not a favorite. I used a nice word in my opener calling them disciplined; another adjective could be "anal." This band is just a notch too tight for me. The drummer in particular sounds too often just overwound and this obsession with coloring within the lines runs through the others as well, never allowing me to get emotionally too involved. An example is between minutes 10-12 of the first track where some beautiful and nuanced guitar and piano are playing out.rather than laying back for a breather to give them some space he just plows ahead seemingly oblivious. Maybe I'm not sophisticated enough to follow his reasons but moments like this I'm ready to get the cane and start pulling from behind the curtain. Then in the second piece you get these juvenile, rather amateur sounding oddity noises and percussions sprinkled about that tell me they could have used more time crafting other bits from their repertoire which no doubt was larger than these three pieces by the time they recorded. Shylock's debut is not a disaster but nor is it a masterpiece. It has its moments of great interest but I would personally go for other French stuff first, the bands I mentioned above (except maybe Clearlight) are all more satisfying than Shylock. Oddly enough, I find the short, tacked-on bonus tracks almost more interesting than the original three tracks. They have the benefit of the band's experience being recorded after their game was essentially over, and feature only keys and guitar without drums. Without the frenzied sound of the early stuff, you can better hear and absorb some of the finer intricacies of their guitar/keyboard composition. 6/10

With a dark cover and concise name SHYLOCK creeps into my ears. It's KING CRIMSON mixed with CLEARLIGHT and PULSAR (the best description I can give), and it's another classic from 70s. Pretty overlooked yet desent stuff - very well played and composed, all instrumental, with lush arrangements, unusual musical hints but never descending into avant stuff (which is so loved by French proggers). Highly recommended!

I like the first song "Le Quatrieme" opening with light keys as guitar and drums come into play in a dramatic way. This contrast continues throughout the song and the guitar sounds great.
The next song "Le Sixieme" features more amazing guitar and drum work and is by far the shortest of the three original tracks. "Le Cinquieme" opens with percussion and various strange noises for two minutes until the guitar comes into play.This song is almost 19 minutes long and is all over the place.
For me this record was well worth buying for the first song alone and more specifically the memorable guitar work that is featured on it.

"For a kid who grew up rooting for Boston's sports teams, I can't wait to get behind that microphone and connect with the most avid sports fans in the country," Salk said. "From the best play-by-play in radio to their breakthrough work with the Jimmy Fund, WEEI is still the gold standard in sports talk radio.
"I'm especially excited to talk Bruins hockey. I grew up a rabid Bruins fan and have great memories from the old Boston Garden. My wife might not know it yet, but our 1-year old daughter will be wearing a lot of black and gold in the future."

Surely this is just about highlighting the talking points of the day, presenting in the right manner and generating debate? Plus being able to deliver a great interview with Pete Carroll. Salk did all of those things.
We don't need to hear a fan banging his chest and getting worked up like we all do after a defeat. We need perspective, someone who can see past the hysteria and make a reasoned case. Who cares whether that means the person is from Seattle, Boston, the moon, wherever?

The Kingsley Plantation is located on Fort George Island in Jacksonville. The main house was constructed about 16 years before Zephaniah Kingsley moved here 1814. The unusual floorplan included four corner rooms or pavilions. An observation deck was built on the Kingsley Plantation roof. Originally there were no roads to the plantation. The only available transportation was by ship. The observation deck looks out over the Fort George River. Zephaniah's wife, Anna, often managed the plantation. Anna was purchased by Kingsley as a slave in 1806 when she was 13 years old. By 1811, Kingsley had given Anna and her three children their freedom. Anna continued to manage the plantation until the late 1830s when she and her children moved to Haiti to avoid the harsh racial laws enacted in Florida after its annexation by the United States. She did, however, later return to Florida to be near her daughters and grandchildren. She died in Florida in 1870.

Silenced rivers: the ecology and politics of large dams
Zed Books, Dec 7, 2001 - Business & Economics - 359 pages
Entirely updated in the light of the recent World Commission on Dams Report, and responding to it, this edition of Patrick McCully's now classic study shows why large dams have become such a controversial technology in both industrialized and developing countries. The book explains the history and politics of dam building worldwide and shows why large dams have become so controversial. It details the ecological and human impacts of large dams, and shows how the 'national interest' argument is used to legitimize uneconomic and unjust projects which benefit elites while impoverishing tens of millions. The book describes the technical, safety and economic problems of dam technology, the structure of the international dam-building industry, and the role played by international banks and aid agencies. It also tells the story of the rapid growth of the international anti-dam movement, and recounts some of the most important anti-dam campaigns around the world.

Back in 1993, the wrestling book industry wasn't what it is today. In Quebec, even fewer wrestling books had been published than in the English-speaking world. Therefore, Fais-le Saigner was the first one to cover, in some ways, the history of pro wrestling in Quebec.
With no introduction and no foreword, Fais-le Saigner relates the careers of some of the most important wrestling personalities ever to be part of the Montreal territory.
The book is mainly a recollection of wrestling articles the author, the late Jean-Paul Sarault, had already written in the Journal de Montr�al, the city's biggest newspaper.
Fans will read about their favourite stars like Dino Bravo, Gino Brito, Edouard Carpentier, Eddie Creatchman, G�ant Ferr� (Andre the Giant), Killer Kowalski, Bob Langevin, Jos & Paul Leduc, Little Beaver, Rick Martel, Jacques Rougeau, Johnny Rougeau, Mad Dog Vachon and of course, Quebec's most popular wrestler to ever live, Yvon Robert.
While these are among the best known wrestlers in the history of the province, Sarault also covers other wrestling personalities who might be less known to today's fans.
Great examples of this are the careers of Tony Lanza, who was not only a well-known photograph but also a former wrestler; Gerry Legault, a long-time promoter; Omer Marcheesault, known as one the best referee in Montreal; Michel Normandin, who was Montreal's version of a Gordon Solie or a Jim Ross; and the Dufresne Brothers, who were mostly wrestling in the lightweight division.
That in particular is something very interesting. The lightweight division or as it was called in Montreal, "La p'tite lutte" -- because their wrestlers were smaller to the ones one could see at the Forum -- is not something the fans outside the province really knew about, but it was really popular here and the author talks about the details of this division.
Throughout these short biographies, the book also covers the more important eras in the history of Montreal wrestling.
The reader will learn more about the promoter Eddie Quinn's days, All-Star Wrestling with the Rougeaus, Grand Prix Wrestling, International Wrestling in the 1980s and even the WWF days, with a chapter on Hulk Hogan and the popularity of the WWF in that era.
Since the articles were mainly written out of interviews, and given that it was a pre-internet 1993, the book is still a product of the kayfabe period to a degree, leading to some factual errors.
It doesn't go deeply into each character or each period, but at the same time covers the basics.
Other stars who left their mark on the territory are included, such as Abdullah the Butcher, Don Leo Jonathan, Yukon Eric, Gilles "The Fish" Poisson, Pierre Carl Ouellet and many others.
It also has a very interesting section on strongmen, as most of them also wrestled.
The book, written in French, has 178 pages and has many pictures as well. For someone who doesn't know too much about one the biggest territory in the history of wrestling, Fais-le Saigner book is a good way to start.
Unfortunately, it's not sold in libraries anymore, but can be found on eBay or in the province of Quebec, where used books are sold.
On a personal note, I had the chance to meet with Jean-Paul Sarault before his death on October 10, 2010, at the age of 79. The author and respected sports journalist, who among other things covered the Montreal Expos for many years, gave me his blessing to use anything I'd like from his book, for Bertrand H�bert and I upcoming book on the history of Montreal wrestling, Mad Dogs, Midgets & Screw Jobs. If most of the information included in his book were already known by Bertrand and myself, Fais-le Saigner was important to us for another reason.
In the Larry Moquin's chapter, the author talks about Larry's son and what he did as a living. I was then able to track him down, meet with him as well as Larry's widow, and scan all of the Moquin's personal archives, pictures and newspapers clippings.
I never had a chance to thank Jean-Paul Sarault for that and I will remember forever our two-hour chat we had about pro wrestling. Thank you Jean-Paul!
Pat Laprade can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com for any questions, comments or memories people would like to share with him on Quebec wrestling history.

Christina Aguilera's mother-in-law-to-be drops baby hints
Newly-engaged CHRISTINA AGUILERA is preparing to tell the world she's pregnant, according to the singer's future mother-in-law.
Excited Kathleen Rutler let slip a little baby news during a recent interview with In Touch magazine when she was asked point blank if she was about to become a grandmother.
She told the publication, "I've been sort of told not to say anything."
She refused to open up further, but appeared to slip up again when she was asked about her son Matt's wedding plans and where he and Aguilera would call home when they become man and wife.
The New Jersey native said, "I don't know what their plans are, but when you have a baby, you're not planning on moving anywhere anytime soon!"
Rutler told the publication that she's thrilled Aguilera said yes to her son's proposal last week (ends14Feb14), adding, "We love Christina."
Sources close to Aguilera tell Us Weekly magazine that the singer is definitely expecting her second child.
She has a six-year-old son, called Max, from her marriage to Jordan Bratman.
The singer has yet to comment on the baby reports.

When Apple's iPad debuted on April 3, it was greeted in some quarters of the tech world by a chorus of critiques. With no phone, no camera and no multitasking, how could it be revolutionary? And yet, when it comes to the iPad's e-reader, revolutionary is exactly what it might be.
It's not just that the iPad is beautiful. Nor is it just that the touch-screen interface is more intuitive than the controls on the plastic shell of the Kindle -- which up to now has been the dominant e-reader.
So what is it? Simply this: Books on the iPad are electronic without losing their essential bookness, in a way that e-books haven't been before.
Of course, the Kindle -- which Amazon.com launched to great success in 2007 -- has avid fans who love its nonreflective screen, which makes it easy to read in sunlight; its huge selection of e-books for sale and download; and its very light weight.
But the Kindle already looks and feels outdated: Its black and gray screen brings to mind a black-and-white TV. Its controls can generously be described as clumsy.
The full-color iPad screen is almost twice as big as the Kindle's. This makes a tremendous difference: If the Kindle screen is roughly the size of a single paperback page, the iPad, turned sideways, presents two pages side by side. Both enable readers to customize font size, but there will always be more words on the iPad page, more content to digest. The reading experience more closely resembles that of reading a physical book.
Of course, e-books are not physical books. On a Kindle, they aren't even calibrated in terms of pages; rather, each screen of text is called a "location," and a 300-page novel will have thousands of them, which makes it hard to keep track of where you left off.
The iPad, on the other hand, sticks with the more traditional designation and also indicates how many pages remain in whatever chapter is on the screen.
What this acknowledges is that there is a rhythm to reading: The first page of a heavy Harry Potter book promises 600 more; the thinning final pages of an Agatha Christie novel clue us in to the mystery getting sorted out. The iPad builds that into the e-reading experience.
The Kindle and the iPad have a progress bar to show how much of a book is left to read, but the Kindle frames its tally in terms of percentages. That's a telling choice, suggesting that the Kindle is a device that frames its books as data, while the iPad is designed for engaging with the material. Indeed, since every control on the iPad, save for the home key, is on the screen, you're constantly in contact with your electronic book.
There are other book-like touches: turning a page on the iPad, as with several e-reader apps for the iPhone, features a touch-controlled animation of the page flipping, as quickly or slowly as your finger moves across the screen.
In addition, these pages look like pages -- with (virtual) edges and a crease in the middle of any two-page spread. When you open the e-reader app, you see the image of a wood-grain bookshelf, on which your e-book library is kept. (In a charming touch, the bookshelf swings open like a secret door to access the ibookstore.)
Although the Kindle is, as an Amazon.com spokesperson told me, "purpose-built" for reading, it seems to have lost an essential connection to books. You can do many things with its e-books -- search them, make notes, leave bookmarks -- but you have to learn its interface. The Kindle feels like an e-reading device, whereas an iPad feels like reading.
It's possible that all the iPad's book-like touches will eventually be shadows of a left-behind technology. But to me, it signals something more elusive: that books have a specific and unique shape.
Now that we consume so much content electronically -- websites and news and blogs, e-mails and text messages -- it's unclear how the book will adapt. Will it have embedded video? Will it include links, like a Web page? The best aspects of the iPad's e-reader show that even as books morph, there are certain things that make them distinct.
To demonstrate this potential, Apple has loaded its ibooks app with a free copy of "Winnie the Pooh" by A.A. Milne, with illustrations in full color. For the last week, I've handed the iPad to everyone I know -- generally a bookish lot, I admit -- and almost everyone was wowed by "Winnie the Pooh." The layout is airy, full of space and light. Change the font, and the page readjusts, the text rewrapping around the images, the flow of the book intact.
"Oh, now I want one," they tell me. "Now that I see what it can do."
To be sure, this is Apple's first tablet, and it will doubtlessly be upgraded. For one friend, that's a compelling reason not to buy it: "This is 1.0!," he argues, as if a first-generation product is as dangerous as poisoned Kool-Aid.
In some sense, he's absolutely right. With no camera or phone, the iPad is a step back from the iPhone. It's more closely related to netbooks but lacks their capacity to multitask, and there are other tablets on the way. Even its ibooks app isn't perfect: Users can't yet leave notes in their books, and the bookstore could use more stock.
Still, the iPad comes after the Sony eReader, the Kindle, Barnes & Noble's Nook; in that way, it's a next-generation interface.
Technologically, it's far ahead -- an app-ready netbook, able to surf the Web, send e-mail, play movies, music and games.
But most important, it has created an interface for e-books that considers what makes books special: They are tactile, they can be beautiful, and they have a beginning, middle and end.
