Top Ten Marilyn Manson Songs
The Top Ten
I love this song I wish I could hear it on the radio and sweet dreams
They this on radio where I come from,I even requested this song when they asked for song request! ( it's an epic song listening to it right now ) - Toucan
Beautiful People is the best MM song ever... But still waitin' for new album Born Villian. M/,
I am shocked with the fact that it's a song with no killing and self harming (I had a bad impression on the Gothic songs! )
The song Rocks!
The beautiful people and personal Jesus are Marilyn Manson's best songs
One of my favorites, Badass song. Take a minute to actually listen to the lyrics, they are so strong and amazing. I love everything about Manson.
... He needs more recognition, TELL YOUR FRIENDS!
Good guitar solo, good lyrics. But I think it shouldn't be the second
Coma White is not a pessimistic, neither is optimistic, but realistic. And if I would've had to vote of all songs on the world, I'd pick Coma White by MARILYN MANSON. It's amazing how a man can put from all the things you think about, in one song, and describe it in such a simple, beautiful and emotional words. I love the meaning of the song. The song is about how sometimes you cannot stop things from happening. So people come on VOTE FOR THIS SONG, GET IT TO THE TOP, cause it deserves that, and it's just right! The song represents something that anyone has once experienced.
Let's vote to get this to no1 people! Love this song! The others in this list are amazing too, but this one is really meaningful!
Absolute favorite Marilyn Manson song. I was watching Trick 'r treat and in one of the scenes this started playing. I had subtitles and showed the name of the song. I went immedietly onto Itunes and bought. Great beat and not too gothic.
This song is a masterpiece! It is almost haunting. I love every part of it and it truly never gets old. This is one of the best songs every that never really got the recognition and fame it should have. No artist will ever reach the lyrical level that Marilyn Manson is. Every song on all the albums are great. But I think that Tourniquet and Great Big White World should be on the list. The Mechanical Animals era in my option was the best! But again everything is great.
I love this song, the music is amazing and the lyrics are so breathtaking I've only heard a couple of marylin manson songs but I must say that this is the best one yet, it should definitely be number one! I can't believe it isn't!
"Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics was such a bright, energetic and peaceful song. It was widely regarded as a masterpiece. Marilyn Manson took this masterpiece, and was able to make it even better. This song is a true testament of the bands greatness, and will forever remain as their best song. The transformation from a pop sensation, to a slow, dark song is so iconic of the band, and was so unexpected.
This song makes me smile. Manson is an artistic genius and not only does his music have quality, but his lyrics also show a message. He is an individual with a natural talent unlike anyone I've ever known! Incredible song.
This song is just awesome! It's the most played song on my iPod and the video is awesome too! The live version on The Last Tour One Earth is also amazing, especially with the backing vocals
This song is epic, cause it shows Manson's creativity, lyrics are really great, written in his style and convey his thoughts. The Dope Show always was and will be my favorite song!
This is the song that started it all! If I hadn't discovered it, then I wouldn't be crazy over Marilyn Manson, but the album cover's disturbing!
The lyrics are about the Columbine Massacre and its awesome. But I think MM could have ridden more lyrics for this song
I love it. Just so beautiful to listen too. Gives me chills every time. This was definitely a hard choice, since a lot of their songs are incredible (This is the new s***, the beautiful people, arma-g******-motherf*****'-geddon, the fight song)
Such a good song. It's a good commentary on kids who are being bullied or made fun of and feel like they don't matter.
The Nobodies was the song that got me into Manson. Great song with a powerful message.
Very magical song... The guitar solo and lyrics, true orgasm. The best rock song of MM
The best song from Mechanical Animals. Amazing music and vocals.
An epic way to start off their best album. A "must listen" if you've never heard it before.
Whoever thinks this song is about race is stupid. Really.
I grew up listening to Marilyn Manson's music and I remember listening to this the most! I have all his cd's! I love him and his music!
Great cover! This shows that, sometimes, it takes more than one artist to perfect a song.
This is the absolute best lyrical description of the last relationship I was in. I love all of Marilyn Manson's music but his rendition of this song is amazing.
His voice in this is really attractive. The way he sings this song twists into his own. It isn't even a cover, really. He made this HIS song.
One of my favorite songs; it's very emotional and so is the music video.
The saddest part about this song is that the line "Are all your infants in abortion cribs" substantiates a rumor that Marilyn Manson's mother was going to abort him and told him so.
The song inspired by what Manson had to grow up with and how it turned him into what he is now. Absolutely amazing song. Needs to be higher.
When all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed.
Best song ever made by him! I love it. It's so... I can't describe it!
Exually, I love all of his songs. There are so good! I love Marilyn Manson. He is the most awesome artist in the world!
awesome song.. the video was banned from the US.
My favorite Marilyn Manson song. The chorus is so catchy and creative. His voice and vocals are perfect and so is the music he used.
This song is catchy, & it describes him perfectly. It also describes other legends & rock bands as well. The lyrics are clever. It's a great song.
This great song should be higher than 12. Maybe at top five this could be very easy. For me this is best. Also I don't even know.. Marilyn Manson used many music from other bands.. Like Depeche mode
Most Adrenaline Rush I've ever gotten through a song
all his songs are awesome but this one I think is the bset
I love this song and the video, he looks really hot in it :P its meaningful and amazing and the beat is so rock and roll
I think the best guitar riff of MM is in this song. Not my favourite but I die for that guitar riff.
This is Manson's anthem - his defining piece of art. Why is it not higher? You chumps misunderstand Manson, that's obvious.
It is the anthem of Manson, the very song that defines Manson, or at least that period. When seen performed live, it's hard to believe that it is not higher. Where Coma White represents the softer and more pained side of Manson, this song is the raw "two fingers up" rejection of the established order that Manson is so well known, and loved, for.
They have the antichrist super star era which to me was mostly this album but also mechanical animals and holy wood. Then you have the mid era golden age eat me and high end and now pale emperor and heaven upside down. Out of his first era I think this album is best and this song is the height of the album. His mid era is more emotional and still good but nothing tops this. This is way better then beautiful people! I think most like this because they heard it on T.V. and radio so they have nostalgia
This is my favorite Marilyn Manson song of all time. God, this song puts me in this state that can only be described as torturous and fantastic euphoria. It's relatable, it's different, it's what I've been looking for my entire life so far. This is where his lyrical creativity is displayed so well.
This should definitely be higher... Manson's first 4 albums are by the far the best, songs like (s)AINT shouldn't even be on this list. Listen to songs like Valentine's Day and Cruci-Fiction in Space... way better than most of the songs on this list.
I can relate to this song. I spent a lot of my spare time for a year comforting this friend I had. It was obvious I liked her, I didn't really care about going out with her, more or less just staying friends with her. She would always come to me whenever something was wrong and in a way I was her mental punching bag, she never really thanked me for helping her out and I was often un-prioritised to her. This isn't my favourite Manson Song, but it should definitely be in the top ten.
Why isn't this higher? I honestly think anything from The Golden Age Of Grotesque should be up there. I mean, they're good songs, but they don't compare at all to the original trilogy. And the lyrics to this song, the music, the vocals, they should be up higher.
I could listen to this song all day. Literally. Bad ass song.
I just have to say when ever
I listen to this song on the computer I get blown away every single time. This song is so awesome and
I love the music video that goes with It... Perfect combination. And when ever I am in a really bad mood I just listen to it and it makes me feel a lot better.
Even though some may think this song isn't a typical "marilyn manson" song, and that it is bad, I think it is quite good because it shows a different creative side of him. Love it, Love him
The intro is awesome. And when a song has a cool intro, it's pretty much going to be remembered as an amazing song.
The Sexiest music video I've ever seen and the Lyrics are damn awesome...
Excellent song, well worth listening to. Marilyn Manson really knows what he's doing.
This is a very underrated one. Should be in the top ten, at least.
This song is just awesome! one of the best songs by marilyn manson. it would have been further up in my own "top ten marilyn manson songs". the video is awesome too!
don't break, don't break my heart
and I won't break your heart-shaped glasses!
The best song ever written from MM. Its very underrated, MM should have made a music video for this song. WHY DIDN'T HE
some of the songs in this list shouldn't even be here Manson has better songs and this one is one of them, it should be on the top 10 at least.
Not a surprise that most of his best songs are in the bottom of the list though but it stills sad.
Marilyn Manson at his best. This song summarises his whole philosophy on religion and God. The heavy bass and loud, guitar heavy chorus make this song one of his best.
I don't know why this isn't in the top ten it's one of Marilyn Manson's best works ever it definitely deserves to be on the top of the list
For a song borne from a T.V. show soundtrack, this track, even if debatably, laid the foundation of which the house made from Holy Wood was ultimately built from. its brash aggressive sound (of which neither gaog nor tripytch era manson would manage to recreate) combined with the mantras "kill your god / kill your T.V." and "this is what you should fear / you are what you should fear", as well as the common theme of "violence for the people" help add to the brutal vibe of the song that pumps you up, whether as a warcry or as a walkout song, cementing endtimes as, if not one of manson's best, then certainly his most underrated.
How is this not top of the list? It's their best song by far, the rest are either crap or average.
Easily the best song, it was nominated for a grammy for best metal song in 2001. Top 5 should look like this:
1. Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes
2. The Beautiful People
3. The Fight Song
4. The Nobodies
5. Tainted Love
Get it sorted people, this list is terrible atm.
Come on really? This is actually the best song in the catalogue. No reason why it is down at 23, and this is coming from someone who doesn't really care much more most of MM songs, but this is a damn anthem right here.
This song is one of my all-time favorites from Manson. The rhythmic beats and the lyrics are very good in taste. It should be near the top of the list, around Astonishing panorama of end times.
This is like the first Marilyn Manson song I've ever listened to ever. And this is what got me into him. Still to this day he's become one of my favorite musicians of all time. And he's more than just a musician. He's an artist.
This is way way too low! Again, it's a song people overlook! Maybe not top 5 but it is in my opinion top 10! The beautiful people is a work of art and no question the best!
This song is absoloutely perfect maybe not one but it should be in top 10
Definitely the best
This is classic Manson Right here! Along with "Lunchbox" "Misery Machine" "Cake And Sodomy" and "Get Your Gunn"!
I don't think a lot of people realize the role that this song played in Manson's later fame. Allow me to explain.
If this song wasn't created, the remixes of it wouldn't have been made. Smells Like Children, Marilyn's first big success, was originally going to be a remix EP for this song. If Smells Like Children wasn't made, He might've never had the success that he did with his later albums.
Catchy and just straight up cool sounding
How is this and other songs from portrait not higher on this list?!?
I'm kind of a new fan and this is the song which hooked me onto Marilyn Manson. Loved it to the very end!
This song is probably tied with coma white for my number one but I hated seeing this one so low. Amazing song
When you hear him play live, this is the song that everyone loves. It sounds the best too
Just amazing. The best MM song ever I think
I'd say this is one of Manson's heaviest songs. His screams in this song are just unbelievable. When I first listened to the song, I didn't think much of it, & I'm now in love with it. You HAVE to listen to this one, man.
Excellent track. My personal favorite.
The energy in this song is phenomenal. And together with The Reflection God, it are really the pearls of Antichrist Superstar and his whole repertoire
His screams in this song are truly unbelievable & insane. He kills this song. I love it so much.
It saddens me to see so many people who look at Manson for the imagery and not the art. This guy's a true artist.
My favorite Marilyn Manson song ever. Should be #1
I love the bass in this song. It's so underrated.
This song’s so heavy. There’s so much emotion put into it, not to say that MM’s other song’s don’t have emotion in them. But this one, this one’s very special. One of my favorite songs of all time.
One of the best...
Nothing much to say. I could die for the "sell my soul for anything" part
Love this song, my favorite out of all his songs.
I can relate to this song. Especially with all the wars going on in the Middle East. My family had to move.
THis is the best song he's ever written and contains all typical MM things. Mysterious, threatening, dark. Videoclip is a state of art
Why is this in the 29th position? This is an awesome song!
The chorus, the beat, the lyrics.. Its amazing!
This song should have been in the top 10 at least!
Norm life baby "we're white and oh so hetero and our sex is missionary. "
Norm life baby "we're quitters and we're sober our confessions will be televised. "
You and I are underdosed and we're ready to fall
Raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs, the drugs
Norm life baby "our god is white and unforgiving we're piss tested and we're praying. "
Norm life baby "I'm just a sample of a soul made to look just like a human being. "
Norm life baby "we're rehabbed and we're ready for our 15 minutes of shame. "
Norm life baby "we're talkshown and we're poiting just like Christians at a suicide. "
You and I are underdosed and we're ready to fall
Raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing ...more
An awesome song and an awesome video to go with it... off of the best album by MM, Mechanical Animals. This is their 8th single
A wondrous song that is unfortunately over shadowed by the other tracks on the album it was on. In Marilyn's catalogue, this sticks out like a fire in the arctic.
How come this song was the only single from Mechanical Animals not on Lest We Forget? It had better chart positions than Rock is Dead, and that song was on it!
Another awesome song of off the Golden Age of Grotesque album.
The chugging thumps that go on throughout the song bring it so much life, It amazes me that this isn't higher on the list.
Best song ever... truth
Oh! It's OUR song with my girlfriend ) Must be at least at top 25...

The 18-minute megamix remixed by an artist named George on the A side, which seems to be usable with this. Good single.

Intelligent transport systems -- Cooperative ITS -- Part 1: Roles and responsibilities in the context of co-operative ITS architecture(s)
This document is for all types of road traffic of all classes, and for any other actors involved in the provision of applications and services which use C-ITS techniques to achieve service provision. The description of roles is technology agnostic and, in terms of C-ITS, agnostic in respect of communication modes and embraces vehicle-vehicle communications, vehicle-infrastructure communications and infrastructure-infrastructure communications.
This document provides a methodology for the identification of service specific roles and their corresponding responsibilities based on a process oriented approach. Additionally, the methodology is used to identify the roles and responsibilities for C-ITS in general. Both the methodology as well as the roles and responsibilities for C-ITS are deduced from ISO/IEC 10746-1, ISO/IEC 10746-2, ISO/IEC 10746-3, the reference model of Open Distributed Processing. Open Distributed Processing offers five viewpoints of which the enterprise viewpoint corresponds with the organizational architecture and its roles and responsibilities.
To limit the scope of the document to the core of C-ITS, the roles are separated into external and internal. Considered to be internal are all roles that are highly relevant for the purpose of achieving service provision by means of C-ITS. Considered to be external are all roles involved in C-ITS, but not set up only for the purpose of C-ITS.
This document provides a description of a high-level architectural viewpoint on C-ITS. It is designed to be used as a blueprint when implementing service provision systems that use C-ITS, and the corresponding organizational structures. The characteristics of C-ITS entail a huge number of data/ information exchanges. Therefore the implementation stringently respects privacy and data protection as it is defined in ISO/TR 12859 and in national laws and regulations (where instantiated). Privacy and data protection affects all roles defined in this document due to these characteristics and all actors occupying roles in C-ITS respects the corresponding standards and regulations.

Hello again! Here with my second attempt for the Runway Inspired Challenge #64.
I used most of my scraps from the first card to make this one. This one is a little cleaner but I’m still not completely satisfied. Maybe third times the charm. Yeah, I know I’m crazy.
Hello! Been busy this week starting to setup my classroom and plan things out in addition to my regular weekly homework. I finished this card sometime last week but only just now getting around to posting it. This card is for the Runway Inspired Challenge #64. These are truly awesome challenges! I love the dress this week but I did struggle, just not simple enough. I might even make another one if I can free up some time.
Here with a card for the Make It Monday Challenge. This week’s challenge entails stamping a rainbow medallion with a single stamp and an assortment of inks. I tested probably 10 different stamps, and this one was my favorite, but I wasn’t possible to have the beautiful overlapping edges with this stamp.
I used Papertrey Ink’s impression plate for the texture on the black card stock.
Here is my second card for the MIM Papertrey Ink Challenge.
Hello! Barely getting this card in for the MIM Papertrey Ink Challenge. For this challenge we had to partially cut a due and then pop up the cut edges. It was another great technique!
Here is a close up of the inlay that I did in mint.
Hello! Here with a shaker card for the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge.
This is the first shaker card I have ever made. It was fun and I’m ready to make more.
Back with another card for the Runway Inspired Challenge #63. I will also enter this card into the MIM Simon Says Challenge.
I used the cricut to make the flower and “happy” frame; I welded it all together using my gypsy. I water colored the background and stamped birthday under the frame.

Jump-- W jumps, Hold W to jump higher
Aim Psychic Power-- Mouse
Use Psychic Power--Hold Left Mouse
Change powers ( Once unlocked )--Numbers 1-5 ( and also mouse wheel scroll )
"Psychoscape" is a platform game with mild puzzle elements. You awake in a prison cell tormented by a "not so" mysterious captor. As a psychic, you must make your way to the exit of the booby trapped chambers and defeat the man who has imprisoned you with the help of your psychic powers.


I was a music teacher this week. I volunteered to help at White’s Chapel VBS (Vacation Bible School) that took place this week. I volunteered so that my kids could attend the program. Most VBS programs don’t include preschool aged children. White’s Chapel, where I attend MOPS (Mother’s of Preschoolers) has a preschool VBS program, but in order for kids to attend their Mom or Dad must volunteer to help with VBS for the week. My friend Lauren was the preschool director this week. She did a great job with this young kids and the whole week ran smoothly. She recruited me to volunteer and asked me direct the music for the preschool age group. We decided I would do 30 minute music sessions/classes for each of the four preschool classrooms, every day this week (Monday-Thursday).
Rather than just have the kids sit around and sing I decided to make it interactive. I learned a great deal from our Mommy and Me music classes at Kindermusic and Family Music Time. My Kids have taken MANY music classes in Fort Myers, FL and Southlake/Grapevine, TX. We have had some wonderful teachers- especially Miss Kat and LouAnne Dunfee. I drew from my experiences at these music time classes to plan my music sessions for VBS this week.
I selected the music for the preschool VBS. The music that they were using for the school aged children for VBS was too complicated for the smaller kids to learn. Since preschoolers can’t read they needed simple songs that were easy for them to follow and learn. I found some great songs. One of the kids favorite selections was J-E-S-U-S which is sung along to the tune of B-I-N-G-O. We have lots of kid’s Christian CDs at our house, so I pulled the songs from four different CDs. One of the CD’s that had some of the best songs was called “Little People Sunday School Sing Along”. It’s great because they have kids singing the songs!
I decided to make the songs interactive. For each song we would either do motions with the song (which I taught to the kids the first day), use egg percussion shakers, use play scarves, or use musical instruments. I used upbeat songs for the times when we used percussion and instruments. For the songs that were more like ballads and a little slower we used the scarves so kids could do lyrical movements with the songs as they sang long. For our final song each day, which was Jesus Loves Me, I found a very slow and soft acoustic version. For that final song we did it as a lullaby, turned out the lights, many kids laid on the floor, and they were able to calm down from all the music activities before I turned them back over to their VBS teachers.
I purchased the musical egg/ percussion instruments off eBay. I purchased 3 sets of 12, so even if there were 12-15 doing music time in a classroom there were plenty of eggs for each person to use two each. Here are the eggs I bought- http://www.ebay.com/itm/291741039405?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
The scarves were a hit too! I bought those on eBay as well: http://www.ebay.com/itm/351599807933?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I purchased three sets of scarves. Each set had 14 scarves. They were really much better than I even imaged. The kids loved these scarves! Buying from China paid off. I ordered over in a month in advance, as they take 3-4 weeks to arrive when coming from China. The scarf sets from the US were far more expensive unfortunately.
Here is a pic of my wagon that I had loaded with the supplies I took to each classroom everyday during VBS. The wagon came in handy! It’s our beach wagon, but I guess we can now also call it our VBS wagon.
We had plenty of instruments in our playroom including tambourines, drums, xylophones, and a variety of percussion instruments. They came in handy this week! I don’t think we had ever used these instruments that much before! All the kids loved them. Each classroom had a different “favorite” instrument that the kids all fought over. For one class it was a little drum I picked up while Justin and I were on vacation in Curaco. Another favorite was the pink princess xylophone that our nanny Taylor gave Brielle for Christmas. Each class had a different favorite that caused a few disagreements among the small kids. All in all, the kids were really good and well behaved. They all seemed to enjoy music time!
Here are some of the photos from our VBS music time:
It was a fun week, but I admit I napped after VBS three our of the four past days. I was worn out! I kept the classes high energy and moving fast, since the attention span of preschoolers is limited. I guess I did a good job, since I was asked by White’s Chapel staff to lead their three-year-old preschool choir program in the fall. We shall see…

Anne pushed the covers aside and slid out of bed. She pulled the thin gown over her head, reached for her hair brush, and stepped in front of the mirror. Anne frowned.
What's wrong with me? It's not right that the younger sister should marry before the older. Yes, she is the pretty one, but I'm not ugly. More handsome than pretty, but Mother is more handsome still and she married Father. I'm neither skinny nor fat. I see the way men look at me.
Anne ran the brush through her long, dark hair, her breasts gently swaying with each stroke. The window was open and she could hear the waves beyond the lagoon, smell the flowers that surrounded the cottage.
She set the brush aside and pulled a bathing suit from the drawer. The shear white one. She was too modest to wear it in public, but it was very early and this end of the beach would be empty. She stepped through the door and walked down the path that led to the beach.
She never made it.
There were three of them. One pinned her arms to her sides, another stuffed a piece of cloth into her mouth, wedged a strip of cloth between her teeth, pulled it tight, knotted it. The third captured her flailing legs, wound a cord around her ankles several times. The first pulled her wrists back while the second tied them.
They had a sack and they pulled it over Anne's head, pushed her to the ground, upended her, and cinched the opening. She was hefted upright and thrown over a shoulder.
They set her down on something hard. It moved, rocked. It tilted a bit, rocked some more, then the movement became rhythmic. It was a boat, had to be. She was in a boat being rowed, but where?
Several minutes later there were several jolts. Something tugged at the sack and Anne was airborne, swinging. She bumped against something hard, bumped again.
"Easy there. We don't want to damage the cargo."
There was more swinging, then there were hands, many hands grabbing at the sack, grabbing at her legs, her head, her breasts. And then the feeling of falling, slowly. She came to rest on another hard surface. There was the sound of wood on wood, a hatch being closed and secured. Her world rocked gently. There was the muffled sound of footsteps above. Then the sounds became louder, closer.
"Let's see what you've brought me, lads."
The sack opened, pulled down and then off the bound girl.
Anne blinked. She was in a shaft of sunlight. It blinded her.
"A wench is it? And a comely one at that. Stand her up."
Rough hands grabbed her, dragged her to her feet. She could see them now. One of the men from the beach was there. The other was tall, husky, bordering on fat, dressed like every pirate she'd ever seen, or at least imagined, right down to the eye patch.
The captain stepped over to her. Walked around her, appraising
"I wouldn't mind keeping her. She'd make a fine thing to warm a bunk on a cold night."
He winked at the other who chuckled.
He stopped in front of Anne.
"But no, not to be. It would cause dissent among the crew. We must find a secure place for her. The chest will do. Give me the key."
The other removed the key from the large lock and handed it over. The captain tucked it in his vest pocket, pulled a piece of paper from his belt.
"This be the map."
He opened the paper and the men put their heads together.
"We row around the point, look for the twin rocks, go between them. Follow the trail to here, then turn left to here, the tree with the red flowers. Take fifty paces due north. That be the spot. I have prepared the place for a situation like this. We'll need only to bury her. Do you have that?"
He turned to the girl.
"We're going to put you someplace safe. Someplace where the rest of my scurvy crew can't find you. I 'd like to keep you, but that's out of the question, so arrangements must be made, arrangements for a more appropriate situation. It won't take long. A day, maybe two. You'll be safe enough 'til then."
The captain opened the lid.
"Fetch me a blanket."
Anne stood shock still, her brain trying to process the situation, what was about to happen.
A moment later the other appeared with a large, brown bundle. He shook it open and tucked it into the chest. He reached for the girl.
Anne, who had been standing passively until now panicked, tried to resist. She squirmed and squealed muffled squeals as he lifted her, nearly dropped her, but kept his grip. He set her in the chest, pushed her to her knees. Anne kept shaking her head, trying to stand. But it was no use. The lid came down, pressing against her back. Even through the thick wood, she heard the heavy lock being snapped into place.
A minute later she had the sensation of swinging, the feeling of being lifted, then being lowered. There was a thump and the steady rock of a boat being oared.
There was the jolt of keel on sand, the swaying as the two men carried her into the jungle. She came to rest with a thud. There was silence for a moment, then the scratching sound of sand being shoveled onto the chest. It was loud at first, but as the minutes passed became softer and softer. Anne's heart raced. She screamed, struggled, helpless in the dark. She sensed more than felt the weight of the sand surrounding her, covering her.
Anne blinked, the sun blinding her. He had untied her and removed the gag. She raised a hand to shade her eyes, squinted.
He was a nice looking man, not handsome, but nice enough. His white Izod shirt set off his tan nicely. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. He was a head taller than she and looked fit.
He gave her a slap on the ass.
"Arr! Me booty!"
"If you're going to make silly puns you may as well bury me again."
He took her in his arms, kissed her. It was a nice kiss, a very nice kiss, she decided.
"Sorry. I'm kind of a jokester. Don't feed me a straight line. I'm Dillan."
She looked down at the half buried chest.
"How long was I in there?"
"I'm guessing two, maybe three hours. I had to fight them for the privilege of claiming you."
"Water balloons at fifty yards. They have this slingshot kind of thing. We were in row boats and I had to get ten balloons into their boat before they got ten in mine. Then they gave me the map. It was easy to follow because the path is worn. Obviously they've done this before. There was a plastic tube sticking up out of the ground and a big X next to it."
"An air tube I'm thinking."
"Take a picture of me in the chest?"
Anne knelt in the chest and Dillan circled her snapping away.
He held his hand and helped up onto the ground. They walked down the path, the one with the sign that read: Cabanas 12, 14, 15 This Way.
"How was it, being buried I mean."
"Hard to describe. I've got nothing to relate it to. I knew I was safe, so I could relax and get into the experience. It was kind of cool at first, being locked in the box, hearing the sand being shoveled in. It gave me a bit of a thrill, like a scary roller coaster ride. But then the interest wore off and the boredom set it. That and kneeling the whole time."
Anne looked back at the half-buried chest.
"Not quite what I expected."
"Me either. I thought they'd arrange a romantic date or something like a blind date. Not kidnap you and all."
"Well the brochure said it would be a surprise meeting."
"Yeah, surprise could be being matched up for tennis, not this."
"I don't play tennis."
"Well that explains it. It was probably their only other alternative. Girl doesn't play tennis. What else could they do but kidnap and bury her?"
She hadn't been totally honest with Dillan. Being kidnapped and manhandled had touched a nerve and that nerve led straight to her pussy. The whole experience had excited her, both frightened and thrilled her. The pirates, the kidnapping. The only thing missing was the ravaging, but she would fix that.
Anne took Dillan's hand. Her cabana was #15, the last one on the edge of the trees. The one with the most privacy. Anne led him up onto the porch and through the door.


More and more, I realize that, at my best, I’m following the song, not leading the song. Once we land on an idea, the goal becomes getting out of the way and letting the song say what it wants to say. Sounds easy, but it’s not.
Here are a couple of cool acoustic videos from TEAM*, as they explore a more naked version of these two tunes. “Say My Name” and “I’m Just Like You (When You Turn Out The Lights)” both appear on the band’s new album, Good Morning Bad Day. Here are their exclusive acoustic takes on these songs.
Alison May is a folk singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist who has been performing, writing and recording out of Oakland, CA since relocating from Texas in 2012. Her change of scenery seemed to awaken a more layered and experimental side, which is carefully captured in her sophomore release, Loved/Dark. The album is set for a July 15 release on Misery Loves Co., and the first window into the album is captured in the first single "Raft.”
NEEDTOBREATHE’s new album Rivers In the Wasteland has debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 and #1 on the Rock Albums Chart. Released last week, Rivers went straight to #1 on the iTunes chart and stayed in the Top 10 all week. The band's North American headlining that kicks off May 1st has been extended for another two months.
Brett Newski found himself job-less, girl-less and band-less in 2011. So he bought a one-way ticket to Bangkok. He ended up spending two years in Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong and the Phillipines, supporting himself composing music for Vietnamese tampon ads.
Last year multi-platinum band the Goo Goo Dolls released Magnetic, their 10th studio album. The collection of masterfully written songs debuted in the top ten, charting strongly with singles like the red-hot “Come to Me.” This year the band decided to mix things up with an acoustic tour titled The Otis Midnight Sessions. Instead of pairing things down, this tour found them on stage with a wide range of fabulous acoustic musicians.
In this episode of Sunday Strum, we are going to focus on the complex meter 5/4. It’s a meter that can’t be broken down by 2 or 3. Time signatures such as this can be tricky if you aren’t used to playing them. Today, I am going to introduce a simple way to count and play 5/4.
With springtime coming just around the corner (for some of you anyway), what better instrument than the ukulele for strumming on the porch on a balmy day? Luckily, the folks at Fender agree, and have partnered with us to offer one of their brand new ukes – the Ukulele Hau’oli to be exact – for one lucky winner.
This is it! You’re inspired to write a song! In a frenzy of creativity, you work out a fabulous verse and an equally fabulous chorus! And then it happens….nothing. You run completely out of steam and don’t know why. You start telling yourself, “Maybe a song that’s only 1 minute and 23 seconds is long enough? It’s “minimalistic” music, right?” Welcome to SECOND VERSE HELL!
With a lot of talent and a little bit of luck, a new generation of acoustic guitar fingerstylists are blazing a new style of percussive, alternate-tuned shred. In the Eighties, radical fingerstylists like Michael Hedges and Preston Reed pioneered an acoustic guitar style based on an alternate-tuned, percussion-heavy, new age–tinged sound.
The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum will pay tribute to Kenny Rogers with the cameo exhibition “Kenny Rogers: Through the Years,” which open on August 15, 2014, and runs through June 14, 2015. “Kenny Rogers redefined and elevated country music superstardom in every sense,” said Museum Director Kyle Young. “He blurred traditional genre lines and substantially expanded the core demographics of country music’s audience, all by being true to his unique artistic vision. His versatility is astounding. We could not be more thrilled to share this detailed presentation of his story.”
Legendary groups Foreigner and Styx will release The Soundtrack of Summer on May 6 to coincide with their tour of the same name. The tour also features very special guest Don Felder, former guitarist of The Eagles. The album, which features 16 classics by both bands, will be available exclusively at Walmart. The Soundtrack of Summer package includes Foreigner hits “Cold As Ice,” “Juke Box Hero” and “I Want To Know What Love Is,” and Styx hits “The Grand Illusion,” “Blue Collar Man” and “Renegade.”

An Integrated Assessment of Water Markets: A Cross-Country Comparison
This article presents an integrated framework for assessing water markets in terms of their institutional foundations, economic efficiency, and environmental sustainability. This framework can be a tool for (a) comparing different water markets, (b) tracking performance over time, and (c) identifying ways in which water markets might be adjusted by policy makers to achieve desired goals. The framework is used to identify the strengths and limitations of five water markets: (a) Australia's Murray-Darling Basin, (b) the western United States, (c) Chile (in particular the Limarí Valley), (d) South Africa; and (v) China (in particular, the North). The framework helps identify which of these water markets are currently able to contribute to integrated water resource management, which criteria underpin these markets, and which features of these markets may require further development. The findings for each market, as well as comparisons between them, provide general insights into water markets and how water governance can be improved. Copyright 2011, Oxford University Press.

Between 2015 and 2016, 23 states proposed bills to regulate plastic bags in retail settings, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. And last year, California voted in a statewide referendum to enact its plastic bag ban, marking the first statewide ban in the country.
Now, Boston is moving the dial on waste reduction by passing a law banning single-use bags in retail settings. The city is the 60th community within the state to pass a plastic bag ban.
The ban will go into effect in December 2018, giving residents and businesses plenty of time to prepare for the law’s implementation.
Boston magazine has more:
Start hoarding plastic bags now, Boston, because it’s twilight for the ubiquitous vessels.
Despite expressing concerns about who will foot the bill, Mayor Marty Walsh signed a measure banning single-use bags in Boston, making the Hub the 60th community across the state to do so. In November, City Council voted unanimously in favor of the ban, which will result in a 5-cent fee for thicker bags at grocery, drug, and convenience stores.

Eight years from its launch and the i8 still feels like it’s come to earth via a discontinuity in spacetime. The radical styling and minimal-drag shape is artfully combined with flourishes of crowd-pleasing flamboyance such as those scultpted hip and iconic ‘gullwing-style’ doors
Presented in Crystal White Pearl metallic with Black Giga Amido fully perforated seats, our 2015 i8 is genuinely a sight to behold and is nicely spec’d with upgraded Harmon kardon sound system, 360 surround cameras and heads up display to name but a few of the tasteful extras.
Arguably, however, the biggest talking point is the impressive petrol plugin-hybrid drivetrain which combines a small mid-mounted 231bhp 1.5 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine which drives the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic gearbox, with a 143bhp electric motor drives the front wheels.
In Sport mode you’ve got an AWD sports car delivering comparable peformance to an M4. Hybrid mode is peaceful and ultra-efficient and fully electric mode can travel purely on battery power up to 75mph, using the plug-in battery reserve.
Having just had a major service including all oils, filters and brand new tyres all round plus a fresh NCT, this i8 is ready to be enjoyed and must be one of the best presented examples on the Irish market.
An immensley impressive car and a true modern classic.

About 4% of the world's population suﬀer from joint diseases in the modern world. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) occupies the leading position among inﬂammatory joint diseases and is found in all countries and among all the peoples of the world at approximately 0.5-1% of the total population, in Russia it founds in approximately 0.6% of the population. The incidence of rheumatoid arthritis is common among various age groups, but mostly aﬀects women of active age (women get rheumatoid arthritis 3 times more often than men). The annual incidence of new cases of RA is about 0.02% [3,11]. According to the data of multi- center researches the oﬃcial number of registered patients does not reﬂect the picture of the prevalence of RA in full. This discrepancy is due to late treatment of patients to the doctor, the diﬃculty of diagnosing initial stages of the disease, the inadequacy of the clinical examination, the course of the disease and its monitoring . It is important to carry out diagnostics in the early stages because treatment will be more eﬀective [2,22,24.30]. More commonly used diagnostic cri- teria for the diagnosis of RA are crite- ria of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1987, which include a complex of clinical and laboratory and radiographic manifestations of the disease [8,3,9,17,15]. А large number of methods for diagnosing joint diseases are currently available: X-ray examination, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), arthroscopy, radionuclide methods, arthrocentesis, ultrasound. The comparative characteristics of these research methods are presented in the following table (Table 1)
X-ray examination has shortcom- ings in the diagnosis of joint damage in RA, such as: radiation load, the in- ability to conduct frequent researches and detect signs of the disease no earlier than 3-6 months from the onset of the disease. Lesions of the tendon-ligamentous apparatus are not detected by the X-ray method [4,17,27]. Short-coming of MRI is the duration and complexity of calculating the volume of synovial ﬂuid and optical density. Carrying out research using MRI is inaccessible and expensive. There are a number of contraindications, for example, the presence of large metal implants, the presence of pacemaker,the ﬁrst trimester of pregnancy [17,19]. The method of asseing the activity of RA of knee joints consists in ultrasound examination and evaluation of synovial eﬀusion and proliferation of the synovial membrane [21,23]. Various authors determined the sensibility, speciﬁcity and reliability of ultrasound (Table 2).
A laboratory analysis of the synovial eﬀusion joint obtained at intraar- ticular puncture are performed to conﬁrm the results of various diagnostic studies [8,13]. Changes in the indices are of low accuracy because they can be on the background of other inﬂammatory diseases. Disadvantages of arthrocentesis is the invasiveness of the method, the possibility of purulent infection with staphylococcal and streptococcal infection, which will transfer to inﬂam- mation, abscessing and infection of the knee joint, as well as acute septic arthritis . The authors consider it necessary to use transillumination optometry which currently receives little attention to clarify the nature of the process. This method is coordi- nated to record changes in the pulse and non-pulse level of the optical density of various organs sites.
Aim: development of a new clinical method for diagnosing and preventing complications of rheumatoid arthritis.
Materials and methods. The work is based on the analysis of the results of examination of healthy people and patients with joint pathology. Thesubjects were divided into two groups: the comparison group (without the pathology of the joints) and the main group (patients with rheumatoid arthritis). In all groups, the comparability of healthy and sick people by sex and age was observed (52.2 ± 8.1 years). A total of 850 people participated in the study. Patients were did CT, MRI, radiography, arthrocentesis of joints, ultrasound and optometry according to the method of Z.M. Seagal. The study was carried out on an ultrasonic scanner with a 7.5 MHz -millimeter linear scan sensor.Optometry for recording parameters of hemodynamics was carried out with the help of the device and the method Z.M.Seagal . Plusop- tometry was carried out by applying an optocoupler to the area under study with a breath-holding of the pa- tient. Projection suprapatellar bursa corresponds superolateral access. Place the positioning of the detector and pathﬁnder is located 1 centimeter proximal and lateral to the upper pole of the patella.
Statistical processing of the data was performed using the software package Microsoft Excel 2010. The average values of amounts of synovial ﬂuid, optical density and amplitude of pulse oscillations in a suprapatellar bursa and lateral synovial recess in normal and with rheumatoid arthritis were determinated. X±dx, y±dy are mean values, Sx, Sy are standard errors, t is a reliability, p is a level of signiﬁcance (probability of error), Δ± dΔ are lower and upper conﬁdence limits, S∆ is a standard deviation. The diﬀerences between the samples were estimated using the Student's t-test, calculated as the diﬀerence in the mean values divided by the sum of the error squares: if t<2, p>0,05 and the diﬀerences are not statisti- cally signiﬁcant and if t> 2 → p <0.05 and the diﬀerences are statistically signiﬁcant. The conclusion based on the results of the analysis is that the diﬀerences in the studied indices of the comparison group and the main group are reliable.
Results. During the ultrasound, the amount of synovial ﬂuid in the suprapatellar bursa and the bursa of the lat- eral inversion in the observation and comparison groups was determined, both in the largest topographic region for the accumulation of synovial ﬂuid and for the possibility of ultrasound echolocation. (Table 3.4)
In this case, the amount of synovial ﬂuid in both the suprapatellar bursa and the bursa of the lateral recess is found at times more than in norm and with other pathological changes. With transillumination optometry, the optical density was determined (Table 5,6) in norm and pathology. Research of the optical density of pa-rarticular regions was also performed in a suprapatellar bursa and a bursa of lateral recess after visualization of them in anultrasonography. In the projection of the location of the ﬂuid, according to ultrasound, optocoupler of the pulso-optometer was applied to the skin of the pararticular regions to obtain the values of the optical density of paraarticular tissues of the knee joint in healthy patients and in patients with RA. With RA, the optical density in the suprapatellar bursa is 2.7 times less than in norm (0,58) (Ta- ble 5). And 2 times less than normal in a bursa of lateral recess. (Table 6)
The research of hemodynamics of pararticular regions in this research was also carried out in a suprapatellar bursa and a bursa of lateral recess after visualization of it under ultrasonography.Inthe projection of the location of the ﬂuid, according to ultrasound, optocouplerpulso-optometer was applied to the skin of the pararticular regions to obtain the APO para- rticular tissue values of the knee joint in healthy patients, in patients with RA and osteoarthritis (OA ). APO in the suprapatellar bag is 13 times higher than the norm (3,29 ± 4,90), and in the bag of the lateral curvature it is 7 times.
In patients with rheumatoid arthri- tis, the ultrasonographyof the knee joint shows an increase in the amount of synovial ﬂuid, compared with the norm, both in the bursa of the lat- eral recess and in the suprapatellar bursa. Also in both bursae, a decrease in the optical density and an increase in the amplitude of the pulse oscillations are found in comparison with the normal indices. On the basis of the data obtained, the authors pro- posed a method for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis of the knee joint, Patent № 2633631 "A method for di- agnosing rheumatoid arthritis of the knee joint." This method of diagnos- ing rheumatoid arthritis of the knee joint is performed by ultrasonic echo- location of anatomical structures. It involves determining the amount of synovial ﬂuid and is characterized in that the value of the optical density of the knee tissue and the amplitude of the pulse oscillations in the supra- patellar bursa are additionally meas- ured. With synovial ﬂuid content of 55.81 ml and above (2-4 ml), an optical density of 0.56 and below (0,58), the amplitude of pulse oscillations of 13.45 mm and above (3,29 ± 4,90 мм) is diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis" . To assess the eﬀectiveness of treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, the authors proposed a "Method for controlling the eﬀectiveness of treatment of rheumatoid arthritis." Patent application № 2017121780. A method for predicting the eﬀectiveness of treating rheumatoid arthritis, including topical monitoring of paraarticular regions, characterized in that the eﬀectiveness of treatment is determined in the bag of lateral curvature of the knee by the change in the optical density of the knee joint tissues and the amplitude of pulse oscillations with ultrasound navigation after drug treatment and therapeutic exercise with an interval of 10 days .
Discussion. The development of RA is characterized by a signiﬁcant increase in synovial ﬂuid in all synovial bags and knee joints with the development of bursitis. In RA, due to the increase in liquid and ﬂocs present in this liquid, the optical density decreases. It is known that the dynamics of manifestations of RA is closely related to changes in blood ﬂow. With inﬂammation, the sensitivity of the vessels to the action of vasoconstrictor stimulus decreases, therefore, the blood ﬁlling of the aﬀected organ increases, and the walls of the vessels are sclerosed, so the APO will be increased. The change in hemodynamics by other well-known methods does not have reliable quantitative indices [6,28]. In this article, statistical values with echographic data are presented, therefore, one can judge the reliability of the results (Table 9).
The undoubted advantage of the claimed diagnostic technique is an increase in the level of safety, due to means of measuring the amount of synovial ﬂuid, optical density and amplitude of pulse oscillations in the suprapatellar bursa. The advantage of the claimed method is also that it is not invasive and low traumatic. The undisputed advantage of the claimed method is the greater availability of ultrasound diagnostics with respect to computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, as well as a smaller number of contraindications to the use of ultrasound diagnostics. This method of determining the optical density, taking into account the locality of the process, creates con- ditions for early warning, as a con- sequence, reducing the frequency of their complications. Transillumination optometry and ultrasound monitoring takes into account all the shortcomings of the above methods and is a comprehensive research method. The ultrasound method allows to timely detect the foci of pathological processes that occur with rheumatoid arthritis. With the help of a speciﬁc functional technique of transillumi- nation optometry, the sensitivity and reliability of ultrasound diagnostics can be increased. The undoubted advantage of the claimed method is an increase in the accuracy of diagnosics by specifying concrete quantitative indices. The advantage of the claimed method is also that it is not invasive and low traumatic.With the development of inﬂammation, the most accurate will be the indices of changes in hemodynamics and optical density.

I've been a patient of Dr. Sendroff and his Dental Hygienist Lori since 2003. It is blatantly obvious when you visit Dr. Sendroff's practice that he places the highest priority on preventative care, comprehensive examination and sensitivity to his patient's comfort and concerns. I always feel like I am welcomed as a patient as well as a friend, involved in the process, and that the entire staff is committed to me when under their care. I just returned from a cleaning with Lori, whose friendly and casual demeanor coupled with a clear dedication to perfection and thoroughness, is simply a joy. When you leave from an appointment, you are completely knowledgeable about your dental health status and confident that you have received a premium level of care. Dr. Sendroff and Lori are a pleasure to deal with, and make a visit to the "dreaded" dentist's office a walk in the park. If you want the best and most comfortable experience in dental care, make an appointment here.
About Hygienist: My review of Lori is included in the review of Dr. Sendroff.

Yellow Boat Music
Mon, 07 Sep 2015 16:20:42 GMT
With the return of iconic tenor Gio Compario fresh in the minds of the British public, Gocompare.com unveiled the four latest campaign spots for the moustachioed opera singer on Sunday 6th September.
Following their arrangement created for the ‘Comeback’ spot launched in August, Paul Cartledge and Philip Jewson of Yellow Boat Music have created new arrangements and produced the music for ‘Duchess’, ‘Balcony’, ‘On Your Bike’ and ‘Train’.
‘Comeback’ saw Principal Tenor Wynne Evans returning to TV screens to perform as Gio Compario in an orchestral reboot set to soften the delivery of the price comparison jingles. The music arrangement for ‘Comeback’ was performed with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and Rodolfus Choir, and has been used as the core basis for the new arrangements in all four spots.
The same professionals that worked on ‘Comeback’, including celebrated Director Graham Rose and creatives Chris and Sian Wilkins, have created the four new 30” second spots. Each of the films are pastiches of well-known television and stage dramas; from a lady of the manor, to easy riders and star-cross’d lovers. All of course interrupted in a timely fashion by Gio, with his solution to their budget woes.
Commenting on the music behind the different arrangements, Philip Jewson says, “It’s been great working on the latest instalments for Gocompare.com. It is always a joy seeing the versatility and variety you can bring to a song by playing with its arrangement. The brief was for each piece to retain the softness of the orchestral arrangement from Comeback but take a playful spin on the visual themes for each commercial.”
“For Duchess we took inspiration from Edwardian music to match the time period of the frosty manor house using slow tempo strings. In Balcony we also looked to a specific time period, using lutes to emanate the Elizabethan bard. Train and On Your Bike looked to cultural references and On Your Bike was actually the only piece which did not require an orchestra, using banjos and harmonicas to achieve that middle-American sound.”
Chris and Sian Wilkins collaborated with Yellow Boat Music, providing storyboards and concepts for the four commercials (and Comeback), before the filming process. With music playing such a key part in the ads, this was imperative to allow Paul and Phil time to create demo tracks for the shoots to ensure the visuals would sync to the final sound. This also involved working closely with Editor, Simon Wilcox and Sound Engineer, Simon Capes when the final songs were recorded.
Discussing the sound layering used to complement the music and visuals Sound Engineer, Simon Capes says: “I always try to add a lot of subtle detailed sound effects to the spots and create a more 'filmic' soundtrack. Of course Wynne's voice is the hero but all the layers help to bring the spots to life. Paul and Phil have a wealth of experience in being able to 'hit the spot' when it comes to complementing the tone and humour of the action and it was great to be working with the 'A Team' again!”
Talking about the collaboration in music and post Paul Cartledge adds, “It’s extremely difficult to get the little quirks and refinements you can develop in the studio to sync visually to something which has already been filmed. Simon Wilcox is an extremely talented editor and was able to pick the split second moments from the film which would work with the final music. It was a pleasure to work with him and Simon Capes at Soho Square Studios and we’re all really proud of the result.”
Nicholas Hall, head of creative and broadcast at Gocompare.com, said: “The Gocompare.com song has become iconic thanks to the skilful compositions and memorable lyrics used to create the various versions of the jingle. The songs are the result of a real team-effort, and we are proud to have worked with Yellow Boat Music to create the arrangements for our new adverts. “
The four new commercials air from 6th September nationwide in major programmes including X-factor, Celebrity Big Brother, Emmerdale and Coronation Street.

May, you glorious month, you! Does it seem like April lasted FORever to anyone else? Because I really felt it was unduly long. Looking back at my calendar at things I did at the beginning of the month seems like they happened 60 days ago instead of 30. The month where time stood still. And it’s not that I wasn’t busy and therefore bored out of my skull. I was actually quite busy. Plus I did Script Frenzy (and finished successfully with 100 pages of graphic novel on Friday).
So this month I set no goals. I wasn’t trying to read a book a month. And I wasn’t successful at that either. Unless you count how many books I TRIED to read this month, in which case I did do 30. Boo-yah. I did also borrow a shit-ton from the library, a lot of those were gardening books. Oh library, how I love you. Why will you not give me a job?
Books Read: 20
Books Partially Read: 10
Books Bought: 1
Money Spent: $3.50
Books Borrowed: 36
Books Given: 5
Books Re-read: 3
Money made (from selling books): $11.25 (Look at me go! I’m living the high life now.)
Books on To-Be-Read Shelf: 41 (Boo-garty.)
Favorite Books this month: Chime by Franny Billingsley, Eon: Dragoneye Reborn and Eona: The Last Dragoneye by Alison Goodman, Bossypants by Tina Fey, Alcatraz Versus The Shattered Lens by Brandon Sanderson, and The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
OK, so, I read The Little Prince for Finer Things Club (which happened today and of which there are pictures coming soon). I read it once long ago in the French during High School for Madame Pantzer’s class. I remember liking it then, I like it now also. It is delightful and puzzling and great for a tea party/costume/reading club.
Eona came out this month and I was pretty excited because I read and liked Eon months (years?) ago when it first came out (I also re-read it this month). It was not a disappointment. I think it was actually better than the first one. There was a lot of character development which went in unexpected, but totally logical, ways. I love that kind of thing. Eona impressed me because Goodman took a character that was horrible and made me like him. And then made me hate him again. I don’t normally change my opinion of a character so many times.
Bossypants I requested from the library well over a month ago and finally got up to #1 on the waiting list. It was hilarious. It could have been MORE hilarious but it was still satisfactory in the number of laughs. I laughed a lot. Mostly sort of choked delighted horrified laughter. Kind of like my reaction sometimes to Liz Lemon. The two things I liked best about the book (other than the funny) were how ordinary she made herself seem. She’s writing about being on SNL and being called by Bill Clinton and stuff but she’s also talking about pumping breast milk and being intimidated and talking to her mom. It’s a lot more ordinary than extraordinary which was something I didn’t really associate with Tina Fey prior to this. Secondly, she writes a little about the writing staff for 30 Rock and mentions Donald Glover. I love him! So basically I was just thrilled about that.
The latest Alcatraz book by Sanderson was great and also misleading. I am still irritated by that. The cover flap says it’s the thrilling conclusion but then I got to the end and it WASN’T OVER. Why must you always lie to me, Alcatraz? And why do I keep coming back for more all the same even though I hate unreliable narrators? If I haven’t raved about these books to you before–they’re about a boy named Alcatraz who has to fight the evil Librarians who rule the Hushlands (aka our world) and are hiding the Free Kingdoms from us because they like to control information. They’re delightful and A. is an excellent voice.
Chime. Chime, chime, chime. OK. So Jocelyn forwarded me this review about Chime and I was like, “Wellllllll, it does sound pretty but I hate hate hate unreliable narrators.” But the library had it so I got it and the rest, as they say, was me reversing opinions. Not only is the writing lovely and entrancing, she’s not actually an unreliable narrator. Those bitches to me are the ones who out and out lie to you and know it. Briony isn’t technically ever lying to you and also the truth was rampantly obvious within like 20 pages so I could just sit back and enjoy the lovely story-telling. This is gonna be a huge claim but in some ways it reminds me of The Changeover by Margaret Mahy (that cover is HORRIFIC)–which is one of my favorite books of all time. It doesn’t quite reach that level for me but I think that’s only because I didn’t read it as a teenager. If Chime had teen nostalgia on its side I might like it just as much. Outrageous claim. We’ll see if I read it multiple times in the next 20 years and still love it in 2031 like I love The Changeover now.
Least Favorites Books this month: Lord Lightning by Jenny Brown and Choker by Elizabeth Woods. I have nothing to say about those.
Book I feel the need to mention: Dukes to the Left of Me, Princes to the Right by Kieran Kramer. Because I talked about her first book When Harry Met Molly last month and was all excited about this one, remember? But this one was kind of disappointing. It was kind of like she wrote Harry/Molly and it was a success and then she took a book she had already written and changed the character’s names and revised a little so it would fit as the second book in this Impossible Bachelors series. Disappointing. Just not the same air of whimsical discordance. At the same time, I will fully be getting the third in the series–Cloudy With A Chance Of Marriage–ASAP and reading it. I’ve not given up on Kramer yet.
So May month. Goals? Thoughts? I do have a lot of back-log to read. I mean it’s sort of ridiculous. Lots of books out from the library still. And ones I’ve been given and haven’t gotten to yet (I’m looking at you 10th Flanagan. Should I read the first 9 again before I read you? Who can say.)
Who can say.


Fundamental ball screw technology hasn’t changed much since 1929 when Rudolph G. Boehm patented what he called an “anti-friction” nut. The ability to move heavy loads smoothly and precisely is a key process which continues to enable engineering innovation today. Nowhere is this more evident than in the production of fiber optic filaments, where ball screws are helping manufacturers meet the growing demand for fiber optic cables generated by 5G communications.
Delivering Fiber Optic Strands for 5G Communications
Wireless carriers are just beginning to roll out 5G communications, but expectations with even the most conservative estimates are projecting at least a 10-fold speed increase over 4G. This will impact everything from cell phones and laptops to driverless cars. The realization of 5G communications is boosting the demand for high-bandwidth fiber optic cable, which requires continuous improvement in the fiber optic manufacturing process. This begins with the creation of highly treated, multilayered silica rods called preforms. These provide the silica that will eventually be drawn into filaments approximately the width of a human hair and joined with hundreds of similar strands to produce the fiber optic transmission cables that will carry the 5G signals.
To start the conversion of the preform into a single strand, a technician climbs to the top of a drawing tower and loads it into a feed mechanism that will lower it into a high-temperature furnace. Once the preform arrives at the heating element, gravity takes over and the molten silica drips and narrows to its intended diameter. As it cools and hardens, the filament passes through a laser micrometer to assure 99 percent width consistency. It is then pulled onto a take-up spool that will gather as much as 32,808 feet of filament before transfer to a fabricator for incorporation into the final cable.
Critical to the success of the process is the control over the speed with which the system feeds the preform. Due to the thin nature of the fiber, slow and steady movement of the feed unit (one meter per hour) ensures that the production is stable. Any faster than that, and the furnace will be unable to melt the preform fast enough. Anything slower will break the continuity of the stream. Many of the world’s leading fiber optic wire producers accomplish this with ball screw technology, which provides high stability and smooth movement at such low speeds.
Selecting Ball Screws for Fiber Optic Drawing Towers
In a typical ball screw configuration, the feed mechanism anchors to the ball screw nut with a rod. The nut rides down the vertically oriented ball screw, carrying the preform feed mechanism with it toward the heating unit. Requisite travel distance from the top of the drawing tower to the furnace is 236 to 315 inches, which requires a long screw.
To optimize production of fiber optic cable, three important factors must be taken into account:
Pitch diameter: Speed control and efficiency are impacted by pitch. Standard dimensions such as 1.98 × 0.39", 2.48 × 0.39" and 3.15 × 0.39" are ideal to ensure slow and steady fiber optic filament production.
Long strokes: Travel length of the preform from insertion to heating the element is about six meters. It is best to do this with only a ball screw, which requires shafts of up to eight meters long.
Diameter: The diameter of the screw is also a factor in the robustness, operation, stability and durability of the motion. Diameters of 1.98", 2.48" and 3.15" are best to avoid screw bend due to the long stroke..
Driving Next-Generation Communications
Automated production of fiber optic cable is just one way that ball screws are enabling a new generation of communications technology. Thomson Industries, for example, has customers using ball screws on the doors of furnaces used to process sapphire for mobile phone screen protectors and feeding electrodes to winding machines for lithium batteries that will be used in electric cars.
Although the fundamentals are the same, ball screw technology continues to advance in flexibility and applicability. Companies such as Thomson are supporting even more advanced innovation in other industries by consistently pushing the envelope in heavy load handling, stroke lengths, compactness and board intelligence, which will provide the motion control needed to support the emergence of 5G and future generations as well.

Munnar: The search operation to trace the five people, who are still missing after a massive landslide struck Pettimudi in Kerala's Idukki district earlier this month, have been temporarily stopped on account of the rapid gush of water in the river.
Fire force, forest department and able volunteers will resume the search operations once the river flow abates, Devikulam Sub-Collector S Prem Krishnan informed.
The five missing people are Dinesh Kumar, 20; Rani, 44; Priyadarshini, 7; Kasthuri, 26; and Karthika, 21.
Sixty-five people were killed when a massive mound of earth and slush triggered by heavy rains flattened a row of 20 one-room 'row houses' of tea plantation workers here on August 7.
Twelve were rescued.
Earlier, bodies were found from the nearby river and adjacent areas. Though scanners and radars were used for the search operations even on Tuesday, no more bodies could be found.

I currently work on a project in SW2014 and want to update this project to SW2015.
But I use several parts from a 2014 custom library (ie. purchase parts). I want this to stay in SW2014 so I can use these parts in other projects which stay in SW2014.
These parts are in a separate folder (..\CAD\libraries\PP 2014\..)
I copied all these parts to a new 2015 folder (..\CAD\libraries\PP 2015\..)
How will I update the project with referencing the purchase parts to the new PP 2015 folder?
If I open the main assy in SW2015 and hit "save", all parts will be updated to SW2015 (also the "PP 2014" parts)


There is a thermal switch inside part of the compressor inside , the role of this switch is when the compressor temperature exceeds the set value off to the compressor motor power supply line, until the compressor can be connected before cooling, the compressor can jobs. If thermal protection often occurs, we will look for the cause of the occurrence.
Reason 1, the refrigeration system lack of refrigerant, when the refrigerant is insufficient, it will make the compressor refrigerant overheating, resulting in the overall heat compressor, so that the thermal switch action, resulting in compressor thermal protection. Treatment: make up the refrigerant, boot state, the compressor return air pipe should be cool.
Cause 2, the compressor condensation pressure is too high, the cooling water or ambient temperature is too high will make the compressor exhaust pressure is too high, resulting in exhaust temperature is too high, which is the compressor overheating. Solution: Clean the condenser, or increase the cooling water flow pressure.
Cause 3, chiller selection is wrong, selection is small. When the compressor selection is too small will appear small horse carts, chillers can never reach the set temperature, the compressor will continue to work until the compressor thermal protection so far. Treatment: re-select the new chiller, must have a magnification factor to ensure that the chiller can meet the set temperature shutdown.
Cause 4, the compressor motor failure, there is poor insulation of the enameled wire, will cause the compressor current is too large, will be thermal protection. Remedy: Replace the compressor.

The U.S. government is threatening action against Chinese airlines, bullying Beijing to lift coronavirus restrictions on passenger flights.
United Airlines wants to resume four routes to China next month while Delta Air Lines wants to resume two. But a temporary Chinese policy allows an airline only one route.
“China has, over the objections of the U.S. government, impaired the operating rights of U.S. carriers,” U.S. Department of Transportation Assistant Secretary Joel Szabat wrote to Chinese airlines in a public letter.
Szabat ordered seven Chinese airlines to submit their U.S. flight schedules by May 27. It is a banal procedure of publicly available information – take off time, aircraft type, codeshare – but Szabat said the U.S. would assess if those Chinese flights “may be contrary to applicable law or adversely affect the public interest.”
This dispute dates to March when China restricted airlines to having one passenger flight into the country, a limitation that gave China time to develop health protocols for screening international flights.
The policy was universal; Chinese airlines were also capped at one weekly passenger flight.
China’s local coronavirus infections were rapidly decreasing but imported cases were growing. Chinese airlines and airports implemented biosecurity policies faster and more extensively than U.S. peers, even though all three major U.S. airlines partner with Chinese carriers they can call on to share experiences and best practices.
The U.S. argues China’s flight restriction “imposes capacity limitations” that are “inconsistent” with their historical aviation treaty. However, the four page U.S. letter makes no reference to coronavirus or COVID-19, the extenuating circumstances behind the restrictions.
Chinese airlines are understood to want the policy lifted as well, believing they can safely transport passengers across more than one weekly flight.
Szabat said U.S. airlines should be able to “exercise their full bilateral rights.” The U.S. however has effectively limited airlines elsewhere, such as by prohibiting the entry of Europeans.
In its complaint about passenger flights, the U.S. did not acknowledge China helped all three major U.S. airlines start and increase cargo flights.
Cargo airlines and ad hoc providers – including a 767 from the owner of the New England Patriots – have also received assistance for China-U.S. cargo flights, carrying medical supplies and general freight.
China’s one weekly flight policy, announced March 26, had a further clause that future flights could not exceed the levels of March 12. U.S. airlines started pulling down their China flights in late January and had no services by March 12, making them ineligible for even one weekly flight.
The March 12 baseline may soon be removed, China told the U.S. on May 14.
“However, the restriction to once-weekly service on one route to China would remain in place,” Szabat wrote. That would preclude Delta and United from operating the multiple flights they want across numerous routes.
Delta and United submitted passenger flight applications to China but have not received a response, Szabat said.
Delta wants to operate two routes: Detroit-Shanghai and Seattle-Shanghai. United told employees it intends to fly four routes: Chicago-Shanghai, Newark-Shanghai, San Francisco-Beijing and San Francisco-Shanghai.
All flights would be daily. Delta’s proposed 14 weekly passengers flights and United’s proposed 28 weekly flights exceed the current limit of one for each airline.
Airlines from Qatar, South Korea and Turkey also plan to serve multiple Chinese destinations from June, which would require a lifting of the restriction, known as the “Five Ones.” That limits one airline to having one flight a week on one route from one Chinese city to one foreign city.
The timing of the U.S. is questionable, applying pressure right after China started the so-called “Two Sessions,” its most important political event. Public policy proclamations decrease in the lead up to the Two Sessions, where the government reviews past work and sets out broad objectives.
The gathering is so high profile that Zhenglin Feng, the administrator of aviation body CAAC, visited Beijing’s Capital and Daxing airports to ensure preparations and see their latest coronavirus prevention initiatives, such as increased terminal ventilation – which airports globally have shunned in favor of centralized air conditioning and heating.
