Snakeskin - Been Here Before
Nottingham based rockers Snakeskin offer up their new three track single here in the form of Been Here Before.
Opening with All You Got, a high blast of energy, and a song with a real NWoBHM feel to it (to my ears any way), which is no bad thing. That's quickly followed by a ballad in the form of Walked Outta Your Life, which is a nice beautiful track really slamming the breaks on tempo wise, but i guess its a great way to show your range as a band. This little ep closes with the title track, Been Here Before, which is nice mid tempo rocker.
I can see good things happening for Snakeskin, they're a great sounding band whom count
Motley Crue, Skid Row Whitesnake, Bon Jovi, Iron Maiden and Guns N Roses amongst their influences, making for an interesting mix, and a nice loose sound.

The Project - This Side Up.
Italian four piece, The Project, offer up their debut album, This Side Up, which is a really varied album. The songs are all of a great standard, but they take in so many influences, from so many varying genres its hard to keep up, but fun trying. These guys got together back in 2006, 'to produce original music' and boy have they done that. The best way to describe The Project would be hard rock with a good dose of energy and melody, lots of tempo changes and an almost indie style vocal. One minute you can hear a Bon Jovi influence in there then all of a suddenly its replaced by a Ramones esqe moment.
This Side Up is a great record, provided that you give it a spin or two, and give it a chance to sink in. Refreshing but not instant, but they may indeed help the bands longevity in the long run.

Naughty Boys - Destiny Calls
Hailing from Sweden, Naughty Boys offer up their third full album release in Destiny Calls.
Hard rock in a similar vein to Europe and Dokken, melody driven rock with plenty of keyboards and some great atmospheric guitar work, real stadium rock. There are plenty of great tracks here from the opening title track, Destiny Calls and Broken to the double ballad whammy of Eternity and Fly With The Angels.
Listening to this album is kind of like taking a step back in time for me, layered keyboards, crunching power chords entwined with great guitar melodies and some roof raising solos"
Naughty Boys really have hit their stride here with Destiny Calls, there's not a bad song to be seen here. The production in nice and clean giving the album a very contemporary sound, all in all a great album!

Dr Grind - Speechless
Seattle's Dr. Grind were guilty of being in the wrong place at the dead wrong time. hailing from the early 90's, Dr Grind played a melodic even progressive hard rock / metal something akin to early Queensryche, Icon and Dokken, at a time when Grunge was killing off everything that was fun in rock n roll. Before they disbanded in 1996 they did manage to release one album, which went sorrowfully unnoticed by the masses.
Now Eonian records gives us a chance to hear 17 songs by this band, and I'm truly glad they did. Vocalist Rick Allen has a great range, the songs are well written and performed by a band that really do believe in what they are doing. The guitar duo of Tom Moore and John Tippins are solid and they offer up a great sense of control and even some fine solos. All of the songs offered here are from the 1993 - 1994 era of the band, but many of them could have easily been written in the mid eighties, and that's probably why they still stand up so well. Dr Grind weren't trying to fit into any fads, they were just writing and playing the kind of music that they loved.
Speechless is a great way for those of us whom missed out on this band the first time around to get a listen, and realise just how good they actually were!

The Wildhearts - Chutzpah Jnr
The Wildhearts make available the tracks that didn't make it onto the mighty Chutzpah! album released earlier this year. Many Die hards would have all ready heard 5 of the eight tracks as they were made available via free downloads or on the Japanese release of the Chutzpah album.
Opener and title track, Chutzpah Jnr, is a blistering fun introduction, lasting a little over a minute long. Next up is The Snake, The Lion, The Monkey and The Spider, which was originally made available as a free download taster prior to the albums release, its a quirky little number, the Wildhearts at their best!
Then we get All That Zen, which has to be one of the most uplifting and positive tunes Ginger and the boys have ever put out, pure genius!
Next up is Vernix, a truly mixed up song that has everything, its as heavy as Satan's bum in places, melodic as an angel singing in others, the tempo changes are quick and fast, and Gingers sense of humour is all over the bugger! A great song, but people unfamiliar with the band may not get this one, but I bloody love it!
Then we get the controversial dance track, Under The Waves, hmm well............. I'm loving this song, and its not a dance track to me. Sure there's drum machines in there and there is a techno vibe in there but its still the Wildhearts through and through and a lot less extreme than anything they put out in the Endless Nameless era.
Some Days Just Fucking Suck follows with a vibe familiar to any Wildhearts / Ginger tune, and a sentiment that we all know all to well. Its got a great chorus and could be fun live, another song that Ive fallen instantly in love with!
Then we get People Who Died, which sees Scott Sorry take on the lead vocals, its a great punk track with Scott putting a great performance on the lead vocals. Finally closing this short mini album is Zen Requiem, a track in memory of Gingers close friend Danny Zeen. A great song that was originally debuted live a few years ago.
Chutzpah Jnr is only available from the live shows at the moment, but I strongly urge any die hard fans to check it out, there's some great songs on here, but i can see why they were left off of the main album, I just don't see where they would have fitted in on the track listing.
A great early Christmas present though, God bless The Wildhearts!!!!

London Blackmarket - The Hardest Stone To Throw
London Blackmarket - The Hardest Stone To Throw
Essex boys, London's Blackmarket return with their second single for Fiction Records, The Hardest Stone to Throw. The Single pretty much picks up where debut single Checkmate left off, blistering riffs, great ,melodies and well just good old fashioned rock n roll.
Gladly lead vocalist has recovered from the major injuries he suffered earlier this year and now if full steam ahead for the band. Linas Store and Last Chance Dance back up the A side, giving you three great tracks, full of diversity and pure raw talent!
Loving this band

The DeRellas - Hollywood Monsters
The DeRellas bring us Hollywood Monsters, their debut album. The best way to describe their sound is simply no nonsense glam tinged punk rock n roll.
Hollywood Monsters packs all the energy, excitement and impact of the live show, and indeed sounds as if it could be a lost classic from 1978. Standout tracks for me are the explosive 'She's a Pistol', the incendiary 'All Fired Up' (whose sound suggests that the band would do well gigging with The Towers of London), the highly pertinent 'Freakshow' and the glam-punk re-working of Carly Simon's 'You're So Vain'
great old fashioned punk pop rock n roll which reminds me of latter day Ramones.
A great album!

Maeven - Girl In Blue
The Sheffield girls return with their new one track single, Girl In Blue, their first release with the new line up. The sounds heavy, a little chaotic in places, but great at the same time. Loving the sound, live these girls must be awesome. They do sound familiar but i just cant put my finger on why, but that's probably a good thing! Maeven are playing a kind of Gothicy heavy but melodic garage rock and I'm loving it. I Cant wait to hear the new album when its completed sometime in 2010!

The Bermondsey Joyriders - The Bermondsey Joyriders
The Bermondsey Joyriders hail from where else other than Bermondsey, they play a simple blend of punk, blues and rock. Keith Boyce has played with some of rocks biggest and greatest names including ROD STEWART and ELTON JOHN and LONG JOHN BALDRY and now joins forces with MARTY STACEY from UK punk legends CHELSEA and GARY LAMMIN formerly of COCK SPARRER to complete THE BERMONDSEY JOYRIDERS.
Keith Boyce describes The Bermondsey Joyriders as a power house rock n
roll trio playing music not too unlike IGGY POP or THE NEW YORK DOLLS.
Infact when PATTI PALLADIN one time musical calobarotor and Ex
girlfriend of New York Dolls guitarist JOHNNY THUNDERS first heard The
Bermondsey Joyriders she said that The Bermondsey Joyriders had
captured the spirit of 1970s street Rock n Roll perfectly, and to be honest I have to agree. There's no overblown productions here, just simple music played from the heart.
Stand out tracks include, All The Darkness, Runnin Riot and Who Are Ya.
Highly recommended for music fans who like their punk simple with a tint of the blues thrown in for good measure!

Gun - Popkiller
One thing that you had to ponder when news of Guns return broke was that with Toby Jepson on board, were Gun going to sound like the Little Angels? Now the Little Angels were a damn fine band, one of my personal favourites through the Early nineties, but Gun always held a different kind of sound, which was loved too. Popkiller manages to ease those fears, yes Toby brings in his own personal style, some of those big hooks that his previous band were famous for, but the Ep maintains all of the little quirks that made previous Gun releases so poptasticly enjoyable.
Let Your Hair Down opens up the album and is catchy tune that quickly gets your attention.
Next up is Seraphina, which starts with a nice guitar intro and it progresses at a nice click until the nice guitar instrumental in the middle of the track which then sets the song up for the ending.
Popkiller must be a little ironic as its opening few seconds really bring to mind Pulps 'Common People', before the song grows into a nice little rocker!
Ripping Up The Letters is a track more or less in the mould of many of the Little Angels ballads which I do like and The Only is then a strong track that finishes up the EP.
This short five track ep is a great start for the band, with Toby Jepson fitting effortlessly into the Gun mould, and I personally can not wait to hear a full length album from the guys!

Isolated Atoms - Tell Me What I Want
Black Country quartet Isolated Atoms deliver their debut single with Tell Me What I Want (B/w Here We Go), which comes across as a great combination of Joy Division and New Order.
The band offer up beat guitar driven melodic elctro rock, the songs are well written and performed excellently.Having only been together for a little over twelve months the band have developed a musical bond many long standing veterans would be envious of. 'With a sound that takes the best aspects of new wave and gives them a refreshing twist, the Black Country boys have come up with an intriguing brand of moody electro-rock. On Tell Me What I Want, singer Grant Ashman suggests a cooler version of The Killers. The Atoms ought to bomb up the charts.' is just one of the reviews that the boys have received from the national press and I have to whole heartedly agree!

The Junk - Novus Ordo Seclorum
Three track EP 'Novus Ordo Seclorum' is no-frills skacore that'll find a ready home with fans of the genre. However, if skacore hasn't previously won you over, then stay well clear, as the JUNK bring absolutely nothing new to the genre. One of the strongest points of this release is the rich brass section. Throwing in sax, trombone and trumpet into the mix, there's a developed sound that is anything but tacked on. The horns are intrinsic to the record as a whole, none more so than on "Scream Your Dreams", a track that, keeping in with the HHN theme, harks back to Adequate 7. There's not quite the funk infusion of the now defunct Welsh outfit, but the brass is accomplished and very welcome.
None of the threes songs on offer here are going to blow the ska punk scene apart, but the fact that they are all of such a high quality will ensure that they are (along with the band) taken to the hearts of every fan of the genre.

Strawberry Blonde's - Fight Back
Newport Punks, Strawberry Blonde's return with their second full length alum in the form of Fight Back. The album gets off to a bold and blistering start with the double bill of 'Revolution Radio' and 'Fight Back'; bold because the same central riff is on both tracks and blistering because that particular riff is the kind that pummels its way into your head from the first note and dosn't't leave until long after the last song has finished. 'No Way Out' contains the only other discernibly brilliant riff of the album with lead singer Mickie Stabbs' vocals perfectly fitting the powerful chorus as he sneers "no future, no fun / keep fighting but there's no way out". 'RCH Punx' repeats the trick of the first two tracks by containing the same central riff as 'No Way Out'. The rest of the album unfortunately fails to match these tracks in quality which is unfortunate really. The other problem is the fact that the riff are so often re used or shared between songs it kind of leaves a repetitive taste in the mouth with the album coming across as a little samey. There are some great songs on Fight Back, don't get me wrong, I just believe it needed a little more time!

Hate Gallery - Dead Celebrities EP
Having managed to find the time to help write record / produce and tour the First Warrior Soul album to come out in years all the members of Hate Gallery reunite to give us their new Dead Celebrities EP, which is itself a stop gap/ taster of the new album set to be release next year. This six track is absolutely brilliant, giving you everything you could possibly want from a modern rock band!
Opening up with the controversial title track, 'Dead Celebrities (Queen Of The Damned)', is as good as song as your ever gonna see, hooks, venom, clever lyrics and some excellent guitars along with a dirty great fat bass line that vibrates right down the spine!
'Liberation' is a hook-laden classic with a bit of an eighties feel. 'Love To Hate' is another lyrically astute monster of a track, that is the proud owner of one hell of riff,also coming complete with political samples and a wickedly cynical sneer!
'New God' is the definitive version of the same track that appeared on their debut album. ('Compassion Fatigue'). You can really see the Warrior Soul influences on this version, but as i said, considering the fact that a large portion of Hate Gallery now form the current incarnation of Warrior Soul its hardly surprising.
'The Man Without A Name' seems to drop the tempo a little, but not the intensity, a slightly mellower track, again with some excellent lyrics! Closing up this Ep is 'So This Is Life?' has a sampled live intro before going into yet another classic kick ass riff.
Dead Celebrities is one hell of an Ep just as Hate Gallery are one hell of a band, bring on the new album in early 2010!
Very highly recommended!

Strike Twice - Strike Twice
Heavy, bad-ass hard rock dripping with the energy and swagger of the '80s -- and that's exactly when this band were in their heyday. Here we get a retrospective look at 11 classic tracks which fans of Ratt, Motley Crue, Britney Fox and Warrant should really enjoy!
Strike Twice was created by vocalist Michael Hayes and guitarist Rob Luv, two guys with a love in their hearts and souls for hot-blooded hard rock, something that really showed in their music. Strike Twice played their music from their guts, displaying a killer knack for crafting punchy, high-energy hard rock songs that drip with streetwise swagger and bad boy shock factor. Never settling for second best, Strike Twice gave it all they had, a well-oiled hair-metal machine that delivered the goods to hungry hard rockers. With ripping tunes like "Tuff Luck," "Dirty Lover," and "Undress Me," Strike Twice proves beyond any doubt that they possessed the talent to stand shoulder to shoulder with their contemporaries!

New Found Glory - Not Without a Fight
Not Without a Fight, the New album from New Found Glory, will please the ever growing fan base, but it also shows that the band are continuing to mature as song writers too. Sure they still play it safe and stick to their formula, but it works for them, and both lyrically and musically the band have grown. To me they will always remind me of Green Day (Sorry), but if that's your thing then great!
The two real stand out tracks for me are '47' and 'Such A Mess', but that's not to say the rest of the albums not up to scratch. Its great poppy rock with a punkish edge, and the band have honed their style over the past five albums, so you shouldn't really be expecting anything else!

We all agree there is a lot of work going on in Upperhill, Nairobi. With many blue chip companies having bought land; they are now building with quite a pace never seen before. Once one plot has been cleared of the glorious trees and natural vegetation, the development then takes off and seems to go on night and day.
It is interesting that this area houses most of the major banks new buildings, embassies and insurance firms as well. There seems to be an un-named vybe that attracts multinationals and investors to this area. As Kenyan contractors and the many youth who work in these development spaces we welcome this. And silently pray that after completion we will see the multitude akin to the Teachers Service Commission building along Kenya Road visitors (that are known to fill the building overflowing to the street) be employed.
My plea to the developers and investors is to try and preserve the glorious tree cover and natural vegetation. That planting of trees and vegetation after completion of projects be taken as a rule. The Late Nobel Laureate Wangari Mathaai's rule "plant two trees for each cut down" should be employed.
It is true the glorious tree cover in Nairobi not only gives the city a cooler atmosphere but also has very strong implication to our oxygen, water catchment among many other environmental benefits. I beseech the government, Contractors Associations, Architects Association of Kenya, Nairobi Business Association, civil society and the entire private sector to sensitize the developers in this great cause. We do not want to have a Mau Scenario replayed here.
And could the Urban Roads Authority and Ministry of Roads encourage the contractor that has been doing Ragati Road for the last two-going three years to please complete it?

For many families, baking cookies is a Christmas tradition that is especially rewarding. Whether it is a sugar cookie dusted with colorful sprinkles or a nice gooey chocolate chip cookie, the sweet delights are a nice treat during the holidays. However, your family may want to try something new this year. With the weather getting colder, we all look to warm up with a nice hot coffee or cocoa. Why not bake a sweet treat that would go great with your hot beverage? Our suggestion is the Gingerbread Biscotti.
Biscotti are twice-baked cookies typically containing nuts and originates from Italy. These cookies are simple to make and adds an amazing aroma to your kitchen!
Gingerbread Biscotti
1/2 cup of softened butter
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of firmly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon of ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg (freshly ground would be ideal)
1/4 teaspoon of cloves
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons of molasses
2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 cup of pistachios or candied ginger
* If you would like to take it up a notch, you can make a drizzle or coating for the biscotti by melting 6 ounces of almond bark or white chocolate along with 1/8 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place butter, sugar, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, eggs, and molasses in a large bowl and mix. Mix until everything is blended together. Add flour and baking powder and mix well. Finally, mix in the pistachios.
- Take half of the dough and shape it into a log. Try to make the logs about 12 inches in length. It should make 3 logs. Place it on the parchment paper and gently push down to flatten slightly. Do the same to the other half of the dough. Make sure to place the logs about 3-4 inches apart.
- Bake 25-28 minutes in the preheated oven. The top will become slightly cracked. Remove from the oven and let it cool down for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Place a log onto a cutting board and slice them gently into 1/2 – 3/4 inch thick pieces. Arrange the slices on its side onto an ungreased pan or cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes and flip the slices onto the other side. Continue baking for another 8 minutes. The slices should be crisp and dry. Cool the slices completely. You should be able to pick the slices up.
- Prepare a nonstick surface for the biscotti to cool on. Wax paper or parchment paper would be ideal.
- Melt the almond bark or white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments until all the pieces are melted and are smooth. Sprinkle in the 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Either drizzle the melted candy mixture over the biscotti or dip the flat side of the biscotti into the melted mixture. Quickly place the biscotti on the nonstick surface and let it cool to room temperature.

text: H-W-Rescue Rescue Centre Category: Dog Rescue Centres (All Breeds) Profile Photos Reviews Welcome to Hereford and Worcester Animal Rescue. We are a small independent voluntary organisation dedicated to helping dogs in need. Each year, in Herefordshire alone there are around 350 dogs who find their way into the stray pound. Some go back home, sadly many are never reclaimed by their owners. These are the dogs we take care of, we provide them with shelter, either in our kennels or in a foster home, they receive any veterinary treatment they may need and they stay with us until a new home is found for them. We are also here to help should circumstances arise that means you are unable to keep your dog. If you are having difficulties please give us a call, we will do our very best to help you find a new home for your pet. Hereford and Worcester Animal Rescue was formed back in 2001 to meet the needs of stray and abandoned dogs in the area. Due to a lack of social awareness, many dogs faced being put to sleep when they had completed their mandatory seven days in stray kennels. Since day one we have worked alongside Herefordshire Council, taking in the dogs picked up the by wardens, caring for them, covering veterinary needs, rehabilitating and successfully rehoming them. In 2004 we achieved full charitable status (Charity No. 1104481). Today, sadly, there has been little change in the stray/abandoned dog situation. In Herefordshire alone we see around 350 dogs come to us via the stray kennels. It's a similar picture throughout the country and approximately 10,000 unwanted dogs are put to sleep each year. The Herefordshire strays are the 'lucky' ones, we take them all irrespective of age, health etc. We very rarely lose a dog, the only exceptions being is when a dog is too ill or on the rare occasion too aggressive to be safely rehomed. We have our own kennels in rural North Herefordshire, we also have a network of foster homes that care for the dogs whilst waiting for their forever homes. We are a small self funding charity, relying on the goodwill of the public to enable us to continue our work. We hold regular fund raising events and have charity shops in Leominster and Madley.

WASHINGTON: The Marines, famously looking for a few good men, have chosen a woman as their new director of public affairs.
Brigadier General Mary Ann Krusa-Dossin took over the top PR position June 13, becoming only the second woman in Marines history to hold the job. The first was Brigadier General Margaret Brewer in 1978.
Krusa-Dossin is, however, new to the world of public affairs. She became deputy director of the Marines' public affairs office last year after leaving a post as assistant chief of staff at Camp Pendleton, a transition she dismissed as typical in military careers. "The majority of past PA directors also transitioned to public affairs following selection/promotion to brigadier general," she explained.
Krusa-Dossin replaces Brigadier General Andrew Davis, who returns to reserve duty as commanding general of Force Service Support Group in New Orleans. He will also be teaching at the executive education program at Northwestern University.

Does auto insurance cover theft? This is a question that car owners should ask their agents before signing up for any auto insurance policy.
Picture the following scenario: You leave home for an appointment with a friend or a client (Up to you).
You park your vehicle safely, and walk to your meeting after locking your vehicle as you normally do.
Few hours later, you return to you vehicle and notice that your side windows were broken, and your personal belongings were stolen.
Save Money on Your Auto Insurance Bill, Compare Quotes Fast
It's an unfortunate experience for sure, but you rely on your car insurance to help you cope with this incident.
But, does auto insurance cover theft?
It would be ideal to give you a straightforward answer but the fact is that it all depends on your policy.
For example, if you have comprehensive coverage on your policy, you'll be cover for the damages on your vehicle as a result of a car theft.
Those damages include: broken windows, doors, ignition systems, and locks.
Now, if your car was stolen, your comprehensive coverage will cover the value of your vehicle.
SEE ALSO: 5 Kinds Of Auto Insurance Coverages (And How To Handle Them)
Does auto insurance cover stolen items?
Not really. By description, comprehensive coverage will only cover those features and elements that are part or were pre-installed on your vehicle.
So if you left any items like wallet, phone, or tablets inside your car, your auto insurance company won't take that into consideration.
However, you could always refer to your home insurance or any other insurance company you signed up with.
Does comprehensive auto insurance cover vandalism?
Sure you could file a claim for vandalism. It all depends on how well you follow the claim procedures.
If your vehicle was vandalized, consider the following steps:
- Call the police right away. It's a vital step since your auto insurance company will require a police report to use it a proof of evidence.
- Gather information of the incident and take note of all the damages. Use your phone to take some pictures, which is going to help you keep record of everything that happened during the incident.
- Contact your auto insurance once you get the police report and other supporting documents for your own security.
The sooner you keep in touch with your insurer, the better for your claim.

NEW YORK -- The NFL Players Association sent an open letter to team owners calling for an end to the lockout of on-field officials and hinting that it's a violation of the contract between the players and the league.
The players were locked out for 4½ months last year, and they emphasized in the letter, posted Sunday on the union's website, that a lack of a safe working environment exists with replacement officials working the games.
Domonique Foxworth, president of the NFLPA, Drew Brees and Scott Fujita are among the union members who signed it.
"Your decision to lock out officials with more than 1,500 years of collective NFL experience has led to a deterioration of order, safety and integrity," the NFLPA wrote. "This affirmative decision has not only resulted in poor calls, missed calls and bad game management, but the combination of those deficiencies will only continue to jeopardize player health and safety and the integrity of the game that has taken decades to build."
The NFL did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The NFL met with the officials' union Sunday, two people familiar with the talks told The Associated Press. It was uncertain whether progress was made in an attempt to reach a new collective bargaining agreement, or when further negotiations would take place.
Meanwhile, one new snag in negotiations between the league and the NFL Referees Association is the latter's request for a ratification bonus to approve a new deal in which the union has made concessions, sources familiar with the talks told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
The league has resisted such a bonus because it believes it is a mechanism for the locked-out officials to receive money for games they have missed, the sources said. The union maintained to the NFL that a lump-sum bonus paid to it is a common treatment for its members to ratify an agreement in which it has made concessions to the league. Under the proposal, the union would have discretion to distribute the amount as it desires.
In the NFLPA's letter signed by 12 current or former players, the players ask why commissioner Roger Goodell issues suspensions and fines "in the name of player health and safety" while the regular officials the league entrusts to maintain health and safety are locked out.
"As players, we see this game as more than the 'product' you reference at times," the letter said. "You cannot simply switch to a group of cheaper officials and fulfill your legal, moral, and duty obligations to us and our fans. You need to end the lockout and bring back the officials immediately."
The NFL locked out the officials in June after their contact expired. It has used replacements for the first time since 2001, when the regular officials missed only the first week of action.
But those replacements had experience at the highest levels of college football, and the current replacements come from lower college levels or from other leagues such as Arena Football.
There have been numerous complaints by players and coaches about the officiating -- certainly more than when the regular officials work -- and one particularly embarrassing episode in which an official was removed from working a New Orleans game because he posted photos of himself in Saints gear on Facebook.
"The removal of the veteran officials from regular-season games left a group of your replacements who have proved to be incapable of keeping pace with the speed of the game," the players wrote. "Coaches and players have complained of numerous errors and failures including: erratic and missed calls on egregious holds and hits, increased skirmishes between players and confusion about game rules. Many replacements have lost control of games due to inexperience and unfamiliarity with players and rules."
Browns linebacker Fujita was suspended for three games by Goodell for his role in the Saints' bounty scandal, a suspension that was temporarily placed on hold by an appeals panel.
Among others signing the letter were Titans quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, Packers center Jeff Saturday and former star safety Brian Dawkins, now retired and currently an ESPN analyst.
Information from ESPN's Chris Mortensen and The Associated Press was used in this report.

In the 1930s Henry Ford manufactured a car that he "built from the soil." Yes, he built a HEMP car, with hemp grown from his own fields.
The car was composed of hemp plastic composite materials. Hemp panels on cars are lighter than steel, yet stronger. As you can see on the accompanying video, even after hitting the car with a sledgehammer there were no visible dents.
Not only was Ford's car made from hemp, it also ran on hemp fuel. Ford recognized the vast economic resources of the hemp plant and intended his vehicles to run on hemp ethanol fuel.
Unfortunately, Henry Ford's dreams of hemp vehicles that ran on hemp fuel didn't materialize; cheap sources of fossil fuels were discovered, and shortly afterward hemp prohibition was initiated.
Imagine, a lighter, stronger car that runs on hemp fuel ~ this would mean a carbon-NEUTRAL or even a carbon-NEGATIVE vehicle, as opposed to a carbon-BASED vehicle that runs on fossil fuels.
Some auto makers today are utilizing hemp panels in their vehicles, making them more energy efficient as well as stronger and safer.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to see Henry Ford's vision become a mainstream reality?

I don't think I'd ever heard preaching until I heard Paul Blackham. I'd heard a thousand exhortations. I'd heard hundreds of expositions. I'd heard autobiographical apologies and inspirational tales and world-weary battle-plans and state-of-the-nation addresses but not preaching. Not a heralding of the living Christ.
And then I saw Paul Blackham climb into the All Souls, Langham Place pulpit. He was younger then than I am now, but he opened his mouth like a prophet of old and said "In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…" Then something unprecedented happened. He preached as if he actually believed his introduction. He spoke as one speaking the very words of God (1 Peter 4:11). He didn't weary me with the debates of the commentators, he didn't show off his knowledge of the original languages, he didn't waste my time trying to appear culturally relevant, he just – amazing to say it – he just preached.
I'd never, ever, heard anything like it. And I rarely hear the like of it today.
Paul's preaching is declarative in tone, doctrinal in content, devotional in aim. In Old Testament or New, he is crystal clear that Christ is the point. His life, His work, His blood, His glory. This is the fire in his bones which he cannot hold in (Jeremiah 20:9).
I know that none of us are going to match his gifting – but can we please aim for these characteristics. Otherwise, really, why bother.

|Frozen lemonade at Kyky's Hawaiian Ice
This felt like the first truly hot weekend, and some Sunday Swings with Shandra left us drained. Thanks to AnnieRie's suggestion, we ended up at Kyky's Hawaiian Ice off Montgomery Road in Ellicott City.
It's delicious. We drank a bit, scooped from lemony ice. Sweet, but tastes like real lemon. It's as refreshing as a snowball, and it beats those out because we can't really claim that our favorite technicolor flavors actually taste "real."
Kyky's also has the full range of snowballs indigenous to the Baltimore area. They're good. They're still not shave ice, which is more like snow than ice chips. I love the Baltimore snowball and all the local stands. But they're still not shave ice like we had in Hawaii. I wrote about this last winter, and I still need to try Baltimore's Hula Honey and Randall's town Original Hawaiian Island Snowball that people recommended in the comments.

NEAR: Kyky's is a trailer snowball stand parked -- at least in the summer of 2013 -- on an access road in front of T-Bonz Grille at Montgomery Road and Waterloo Road (Rte 104) in Ellicott City. It's convenient from Rte 100 or Rte 103.

Shelley and His Readers
Beyond Paranoid Politics
"We have spoken of Shelley's genius, and it is doubtless of a high order; but when we look at the purposes to which it is directed, and contemplate the infernal character of all its efforts, our souls revolt with tenfold horror at the energy it exhibits, and we feel as if one of the darkest of the fiends had been clothed with a human body." This is an example from Wheatley's book of a literary review of Shelley's poetry written in a climate of what she calls "paranoid politics." It exhibits what Wheatley describes as "a heightened language of defensiveness and persecution." Reviewers writing in the "paranoid style" that Wheatley identifies with the early ninteenth century bemoan the loss of social values, warn readers that by merely reading subversive language they can damage their souls and believe that if such language reaches the masses it can incite social revolution.
In this setting of paranoid politics, Wheatley's book is about the relationship between the radical, reformist poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley and the early nineteenth century readers of that poetry: literary reviews of the day and the small circle of Shelley friends and supporters. Wheatley's prime argument is that the two were inter-dependent. That is, alarmist paranoid reviewers found all their fears justified in Shelley's radical poetry. And Shelley's poetry was radical within the specific context set by the paranoid reviewers. They fed and thrived off each other. Wheatley goes on to argue that in reacting to Shelleys later poetry, starting with "Prometheus Unbound," reviewers and supporters of Shelley together produce "not so much an alternative language as an alternative to politics—the aesthetic." It is at this point that Shelley's readers move, as the title suggests, beyond paranoid politics.
Wheatley develops her arguments by examining three Shelley poems in chronological order: "Queen Mab," "Prometheus Unbound" and "Adonais" as well as reviews of each all in the context of paranoid politics. Scholars and lovers of Romantic poetry will be intrigued by this addition to the Shelley body of study. The uninitiated may be frustrated that Wheatley never places her arguments into a broader context, but that clearly is not her purpose. Wheatley is a precise and clear writer, and she lays out her arguments neatly and specifically, all of which is crucial for arguments of such complexity, especially for lay readers.

Self Defense Classes Increase Enrollment Despite Decrease in Crime
COLUMBIA - High kicks, low punches, and sweat describes Jeff Hockman's self-defense class called Karv Maga. Hockman, owner of Hockman ATA Martial Arts, said because of the recent crimes in Columbia, more people have decided to sign up to take his class.
"We noticed, probably about a year ago, we were having people look for just self-defense classes," Hockman said. "They weren't looking for traditional marital arts, and that's when we incorporated our Krav Maga program."
Krav Maga is a form of self-defense that teaches basic practical movements to avoid being an easy target. It is through this class that Hockman has seen a growing influx of interest.
"People are actually reaching out and looking for self-defense," Hockman said. "They want to be empowered, they want to have the confidence, they want to be able to believe in themselves that they could actually use this if they had to."
Garnett Matthews, a mother and wife, is also a student at Hockman ATA Martial Arts. Matthews said she first enrolled her kids in martial arts classes, but eventually she and her husband signed up as well.
"After a while, my husband and I decided that we wanted to try it, so we decided to sign up, and then the whole family was going, and we've been slowly progressing through the belts together," Matthews said.
Although some people within the community are reaching out for self-defense classes, Latisha Stroer of the Columbia Police Department said this recent trend is not because of a rise in crime.
According to CPD's Uniform Crime Reporting for 2012, police investigated 41 cases of rape and 270 cases of aggravated assault. So far this year, thre report says forcible rape rose to 53 and aggravated assault decreased to 200.
Officer Stroer said this rise in forcible rape is actually because the FBI recently changed the definition of rape.
"Right now the definition has changed and so what is being reported as rape, before was only reported as a sex offense other," Officer Stroer said.
Although some crime within Columbia has decreased, Garnett Matthews said she believes that the classes have given her and her family tools to use if they need them.
The Columbia Police Department also offers various tips to avoid potentially dangerous situations on its website.

Demori- I Remain.
Battle scars and battle cries. Sharp blades and pierced flesh. Angry eyes and hatred wreak violence upon the peaceful.
Cathars forced upon knee, singing their faith of love to the promise of persecution,slow torment and the eventual journey into the Afterlife..
Demori- I Remain.
Challenging pregnancy, sexual abuse, and who is my Father?
Harsh words and name calling,
all contribute to stories of a life written by a pained hand and eyes that can only see 'not good enough'.
Demori- I Remain.
Cathars burned at the stake. Holy vessels taken and tortured, all in the name of God. 'Bless them and forgive, for they know not what they do'- words spill as tears fall and still again, death still holds its invitation. Amidst the prayers, the song, and the music of the sounds of agony. Sweet somnambula.
Demori- I Remain.
Growing pains, what remains, conditions, chains and bindings.
The drugs help me feel. I won't need You in the morning if You can just muster an unfelt 'I love you' in this moment. Fast money, night owl-lifestyle keeping company with the vampyres and other unnamed energy feeders. Why do I feel so drained? And,' how long has it been since iv seen the sunshine?' What happened to the Sun?
Demori- I Remain.
Cathars absolved inside that holy flame, holy smoke death initiations. Cathars saw the sun inside their hearts as they left the shallow shell behind. As they outgrew the confinement of body, perceptions of pain, and impossibles. Freedom.
Demori- I Remain.
Alchemical processes in each step, thought and breath.
I burn blue fire from green flora and inspiration helps me to recall. Blue is healing, green is growth, I have come to realize.
Thank You for these lives, thank You for this walk, and thank You Cathars, I remember.
Demoraii- We Remain.
Sow Your Fires.
Thank You.

Robert Putnam, a Harvard sociologist, who is also a Liberal, has just completed a study of over 30,000 North Americans and Canadians, asking people from various cities and towns in both countries what they think about 'diversity'. In total, the survey of people's attitudes was conducted in 41 American cities and towns.
According to Putnam, people who live in cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Los Angeles where White people have become or are close to becoming a minority, are much less likely to associate with their neighbors.
Not only that, but the study found that people were considerably less likely to vote, pay taxes, donate to charities, volunteer, and trust people – even people of their own race.
In his report 'E Pluribus Unum: Diversity and Community in the 21st century', Putnam writes: "Inhabitants of diverse communities tend to withdraw from collective life, to distrust their neighbours, regardless of the colour of their skin, to withdraw even from close friends, to expect the worst from their community and its leaders, to volunteer less, give less to charity and work on community projects less often, vote less … have less faith that they can actually make a difference, and to huddle unhappily in front of the television."
A similar study conducted on 3,800 people by the Vancouver Foundation, fell in line with Putnam's study, finding that people felt unusually lonelier and had less friends if they lived in areas that had many races and ethnicities, and while they believed that 'diversity' is a good thing, they preferred to be with members of their own ethnic or racial group.
As a Liberal, Putnam was left severely unsatisfied by his study and has made several attempts to explain why people don't like living as a minority, but he has failed to find any other explanations – in fact many other academics from over the world have confirmed his findings.
Putnam realizes that his research has proved many of his side's beliefs about 'diversity' to be wrong, finding that there was no "harmony" or "fusion", and in fact, finding that it was a severe drain on resources and public money.
However, he still insists that doing the same thing (making places minority White) over, and over again will all be worth it in the long run, as he believes it will create a more scientific and intellectual society – despite not even a suggestion of such a thing happening yet.
He insists that trying to make people assimilate will fix these problems, arguing that there should be "more opportunities for meaningful interaction across ethnic lines."
Putnam summarizes his report, saying that higher 'diversity' leads to "lower confidence in local government, local leaders and the local news media … less expectation others will cooperate to solve dilemmas … less likelihood of working on a community project … lower likelihood of giving to charity … and less happiness and lower perceived quality of life."
Anti-Whites love to talk about 'diversity', but none of them will actually live in what they have created. All this 'diversity' and 'mixing the races' is ONLY ever seriously discussed in White countries. If any non-White started screaming about the 'lack of diversity' in non-White countries, and how non-White countries 'should be for everyone' – they would be laughed at . . . but in White countries people screaming those statements are given respect and lots of public money to DO just that.
No Black, Brown, or Asian country gets called "racist" because it doesn't want to become a 'diverse' country. This word is reserved ONLY for White people and White countries.
Thus, it is clear to say that 'diversity' simply means getting rid of White people – diversity is just a codeword for White genocide.

This country might resemble a Democracy now, but it was founded as a Constitutional Republic. There is a big difference.ReplyDelete
The abrogation of the Tenth Amendment and state's rights, the popular election of US Senators and abuse by the federal government of the Commerce Clause was the start of our slide towards Democracy and mob rule.Replies

States rights have not been abrogated. Federal rights have always trumped States rights, as the Constitution defines, and we fought a Civil War to defend. More rights are now federal rights, again as the Constitution defines.ReplyDelete
If gun ownership is a federal right, then federal regulations should guide gun laws. It should not matter which State you live in, all gun laws and regulations should be federal and the same throughout the land.
There should be no violations of State to State transporting, buying or selling of guns, except those set be federal law. If I live in an open carry State, I should not be in violation if I happen to drive in to a State that is not.
Of course my idea of federal gun laws would be a lot stricter than gun loons would agree with. With gun loons comparing Jeff Cooper to Thomas Jefferson, this is no time to start rewriting Constitutional law, or the Constitution. So we fight on State to State just like any other issue not enumerated by the Constitution (same sex marriage, etc.) but guns are enumerated by the Constitution and should be covered by federal regulations only.Replies

WHich came first, the states or the Feds? There was no federal government until the states gave them the right to create a post office and a navy.

I fear SSG "Tactical Reason" needs a refresher reading course. Waldman wrote:ReplyDelete
"Things like Barack Obama's two elections, the passage of the Affordable Care Act, and a hundred other government actions are now routinely called "tyranny" and "fascism" by people just like Joni Ernst. "
Certainly, Presidents have been called all manner of names and pejoratives. But Waldman's point is the rightwing is now calling democratic legislation that passes judicial muster "tyranny" and "fascism."
The rightwing apparently prefers results that are arrived at by force.

"but guns are enumerated by the Constitution and should be covered by federal regulations only."ReplyDelete
Exactly so, and the regulation is "Shall Not be INFRINGED". The Constitution also deals with those that have abused their rights and the rights of others by removing the rights of the abusers and be punished. If the Constitution was actually followed the way it was written then we wouldn't need 22,000 + gun laws in this country. The enumerated right is simple, the removal of that and other rights is equally as simple.
All other concerns not enumerated are the states own issues.Replies

You want to cherry pick and allow States to set their own gun laws? Shall not infringe does not eliminate constitutional regulations.Delete
- AnonymousOctober 28, 2014 at 9:13 PM
You miss the point, the only Constitution regulation is Shall Not Be Infringed which is exactly what the states are doing each in there own way. The other point is that the constitution already has remedy for law breakers that removes those rights.Delete
As it is now, the states already have there own laws set, so they do indeed cherry pick their way in their infringement of the Constitution.
The second Civil Right, says Shall Not Be Infringed. That means not taxed, pay a fee for, license, permit, regulate or restrict that Civil Right. The Shall Not Be Infringed is for the individual, not collectivism, militia, military or law enforcement. It is the ONLY Civil Right that has the total protection from the governments taking, removing or in any way restricting that right.
Except for using that right against your fellow man in a criminal way and at that point you can have ALL your civil rights removed. Its in the constitution, its explained in there many ways.
There are NO government or Constitutional regulations to any of the Civil Rights enumerated, the only restrictions that exist is to the government itself. Civil Rights are protected for the people, not the government.
So NO, I do NOT want the states to cherry pick, its a violation of the Civil Rights of the people. That's why the federal government cant do it the way the states do, they would be in violation of Civil Rights laws. Not that they haven't tried, but they do get knocked down. The people in more and more states have been challenging the states laws in court over the second Civil Right and winning to regain those Rights that those states have been in violation for decades. Its a slow process and winning bits and pieces back all the time, but shouldn't have to, it should all be thrown out immediately.

Anon., what do you think the Supreme Court is for?Delete
- AnonymousOctober 29, 2014 at 7:14 PM
To right the wrongs that have been done to the common people that the government has inflicted.Delete
The Supreme Court cannot make law or change it, legally, they interpret the law or find if a law meets Constitutional muster or not and judge accordingly.

And they are the last word whether you agree with their decisions, or not.Delete

Sometimes, not all. The Supreme Court has overturned there own decisions before. They may be the last word until either the case starts over again with different criteria or they decided to take another look at the laws and the constitution. Reversals have happened.Delete
Judges that are appointed, not elected have a certain political bend to them. That causes problems in some of their decisions at times. Even elected judges follow the same, but the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are not supposed to bend and were/are meant to be followed directly. Even Laci has pointed out that the states are not allowed to ignore, restrict or infringe on peoples protected rights. Sometimes their decisions have done that and were reversed because their findings were in direct conflict of those rights.

2 new operational rooms in our attic
Since we progressed here so well at the end of July we were very motivated to add the finishing touches and turn our 2 new attic rooms operational. In one day our little house here expanded with 30% in size :).
Jan constructed the beds in the bedroom with the boys (which seemed a constant struggle to prevent them taking off with the needed pins and screws) and he added the plinths while I did the final painting in the bathroom. At the end we added the bathroom flooring there as well. Kabouter proudly went to bed in his new room for the first time. Hurray!
