It was supposed to be different. It really was. With the roster expunged of the mess outside of Wilson Chandler who is still serviceable and Eddy Curry who at least keeps the bench firmly weighted to the ground, things were supposed to be different for the New York Knicks. They had a superstar in Amar’e Stoudemire, a winning coach in Mike D’Antoni that had made the mess win an underwhelming but decent number of games, and the GM at the top to get them the moves for the next level.
It was supposed to be different, but it’s not.
There they sit, at 3-7, the eleventh best team in the Eastern Conference, losing to the Timberwolves before a loss to the Rockets put them on a five-game skid. Amar’e Stoudemire is blasting the team. It’s an abject disaster ten games in, as much as a ten game sample can constitute a disaster.
Here’s where I’m supposed to talk about how Mike D’Antoni’s defense once again proves that his run and gun style can’t win in the NBA. I’m supposed to discuss how soft the Knicks are, and how it’s only a matter of time for this team to fall apart like all the others. According to script I need to throw out cliches about toughness and determination and the chemical makeup of champions. That’s the standard sportswriter script. Good news, though: I hate stuff like that.
Thing is, it’s not the defense. Kind of.
If you look at the Knicks they’re currently 14th in defensive efficiency. That’s about four spots outside of good, and it’s a solid six outside of bad, and about 11 outside of where most people tend to think of them, which is “terrible.” So, no, they are not defensive stalwarts, but they’re also not sieves for you to plunge the knife through. And lest you think that those estimated figures don’t reflect real world results, Synergy Sports has the Knicks giving up an average of 1052 points on 1118 possessions for an average of .94 points per possession allowed, which is 18th in the league. That’s not good, obviously, but it’s also not bad. The Knicks are also average to good in transition, isolation, post-up, and pick and roll defense. They’re really only suffering in spot-ups. So they don’t close out well but it also means teams are simply shooting really well in those situations (51.5% eFG compared to 42.3% FG% which means a lot of threes). The Knicks’ defense isn’t the problem.
Like I said, kind of.
In the span of two weeks, the Knicks gave up 24 assists to Rajon Rondo and 31 rebounds to Kevin Love. Those aren’t just statistical outliers, they’re gigantic spikes through the roof of the chart. But we’re not talking Earl Boykins scoring 42 or Andrea Bargnani rebounding 25 times, things which you simply can’t predict. The Knicks take good players with phenomenal individual skills and turn their production into some sort of nuclear, “TMNT-ooze” like monster version of it. It’s stunning and bizarre and yet wholly predictable.
Meanwhile, the rebounding, which you’d assume sucks, doesn’t. They have a zero differential in offensive rebound rate produced and allowed. So, it’s not the defense. And it’s not the rebounding. And it’s partially psychotic outliers, but not totally. So what is it?
The answer, of course is the offense. Which is wholly dysfunctional. Amar’e Stoudemire not having terrific numbers every night, Raymond Felton very much not looking like a point guard, an early shooting slump from Danilo Galinari, and below average PERs from every bench player. The Knicks can’t function on offense, and that’s why they’re losing.
Sure, chemistry is off. Sure, the formula hasn’t come together. But it’s not failing in the way you’re expecting. And if we’re giving Miami some time to get it together, maybe we should do the same for New York. Oh, wait, I forgot, we’re not doing that because everyone hates them. Got it.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — Five Native Americans asked a federal judge Monday to dismiss a lawsuit the Washington Redskins filed against them over the team's nickname.
The Native Americans, who are members of five different tribes throughout the U.S., won a trademark dispute earlier this year with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office over Washington's nickname. The agency ruled that the Redskins should lose trademark protection for their name because it may disparage Native Americans.
In court papers, lawyers for the Native Americans said that if the team wants to sue, it needs to sue the Patent and Trademark Office, which made the decision. The lawyers argued the Redskins have no cause to sue the Native Americans because they are not the ones who ruled on the name.
The Redskins said a provision in federal law allows them to sue the individuals who sought the trademark's cancellation.
The court papers do not delve into whether the Redskins name is disparaging.
A hearing was scheduled for Oct. 31.

Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area
- Posted On
- Apr 15, 2016
In 1869, Major John Wesley Powell, on expedition down the Green River, looked in awe at this magnificent country and pronounced “We name it Flaming Gorge.” Today the brilliant red cliffs are scenic attractions for thousands of visitors annually.
Located in Northeastern Utah and Wyoming, Flaming Gorge NRA encompasses 1,384,132 acres of National Forest - 1,287,909 in Utah and 96,223 in Wyoming – with elevations ranging from 6,000 to over 13,500 feet. Managed by the Ashley National Forest and including the section of the Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam, this rugged wildland stretches from Wyoming high deserts, where herds of antelope play along the lakeshore, to the high alpine forested slopes of Utah's Uinta Mountains. A diverse land of scenic beauty, Flaming Gorge lends itself to many memorable outdoor adventures. The heart of the National Recreation Area is a 91-mile-long reservoir, created by the Flaming Gorge Dam with more than 360 miles of shoreline, boat ramps, full-service lodges and marinas.
The NRA encompasses majestic Kings Peak (highest in Utah), Flaming Gorge-Uintas National Scenic Byway and The Green River Corridor, a world-class blue-ribbon fishery. Topographical diversity and intensive land management has served to protect the visual quality of the forest. The existing vegetation patterns and the geological formations further add to the aesthetic value. Boundaries also include the fascinating Sheep Creek Geological Area and the High Uinta Wilderness.
Activities abound - Hiking & backpacking, ATV & Off-Roading, canoeing, SUP & kayaking, horseback riding, mountain biking with hundreds of mile of trails developed and currently in the works, rock climbing, river running, scenic byways and wildlife viewing.
But here, fishing is king. Flaming Gorge Reservoir has a history as one of the west’s greatest fisheries. From the world record German Browns caught throughout the 70’s and early 80’s to the Utah state record lake trout, rainbow and brown, the Gorge is known for holding big fish. In addition to trout species, this reservoir holds numerous trophy fish, including, kokanee salmon, tiger trout, smallmouth & largemouth bass, carp, channel catfish and burbot.
The Green below Flaming Gorge Dam is one of the most renowned trout fisheries in the world. The water from the dam is regulated to maintain an optimum temperature and flow that has created this world-famous blue ribbon trout fishery. Its crystal clear, emerald waters support a large population of trout, with rainbows more common just below the dam and browns dominating downstream. The browns are wild, produced by natural reproduction, and grown quickly in the fertile water. The average fish is 15-17 inches long. The record, a 29-pound brown, was caught in 1996.
Camping sites are plentiful with 43 campgrounds and over 700 individual and 27 group sites, all spread over nearly 91 water-miles plus countless mountain retreats. There is also the opportunity to set up “primitive” camping for those wishing a more secluded adventure, or river camps for those extending their adventures for more than a day.
Close at hand are the quaint communities of Manila and Dutch John that offer accommodations, boat launching, rentals, gear, guides and outfitters and all necessary services for visitors. FlamingGorgeCountry.com

Degas-More than ballet dancers.
Degas-More than ballet dancers!
Seventeen of us assembled at NGV International for the Degas exhibition. We enjoyed a comprehensive talk on Degas’ family life, travels,contemporaries and the period of French society in which he painted. This alerted us to facets of the exhibition to watch out for as we strolled around the extensive array of paintings, drawings, printmaking, sculpture and photography. His works extended over some 60 years depicting at first family and friends’ portraits and then moving into periods of concentration on various forms of working life – horse racing, night life, laundry workers and his well-known paintings of ballerinas. Many of his paintings of women, and daily life shocked French society at that time. Members enjoyed sharing their insights and comments on the various exhibits and noted there was so much to see.

KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii -- Baltimore businesswoman Lyn Brooks has become the charter member of an exclusive endurance organization.
Brooks completed the Ironman Triathlon World Championship in 14 hours, 54 minutes, 54 seconds late Saturday night to become the event's first 16-time finisher.
"I always show up for the adventure," said Brooks, who has endured horrendous knee problems but has finished the race every year since 1981 and also the two times it was held in 1982. "It's a very personal thing when I come down the finish along Alii Drive."
Mark Allen, of Cardiff, Calif., overcame a 13 1/2 -minute deficit to Thomas Hellriegel of Germany to win the men's division in 8:20:54, his sixth title.
Karen Smyers, of Lincoln, Mass., passed a collapsed Paula Newby-Fraser in the final 300 yards to capture the women's division in 9:16:46.
Brooks had been tied with former winner Scott Tinley for most finishes. But Tinley withdrew after 12 miles of the marathon.
A field of 1,487, the largest in race history, began the 19th edition of the 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike and 26.2-mile run a few minutes before the traditional 7 a.m. start at the Kailua Pier. Although temperature and water conditions were good, winds estimated at more than 40 mph hampered the cyclists.
There were a record 1,323 finishers, including 15 Marylanders. -- Amateur George Altieri of Columbia was the state's leading finisher, placing 72nd overall in 9:34:59.
But it was the state's final finisher, Darryl Haley of Mitchellville, who attracted as much, if not more, attention than the winners. The 6-foot-8, 300-pound former offensive lineman for the New England Patriots and Cleveland Browns walked much of the marathon. But with several thousand spectators chanting his name, he finished in 16:44:15, ahead of only five others.
Maryland finishers: 72. George Altieri, Columbia, 9:34:59 145. Brian Davis, Bethesda, 9:57:50 292. Charles Racoosin, Great Falls, 10:30:50 305. Steve Meade, Ft. Meade, 10:34:23 592. Mike Little, Columbia, 11:32:20 805. Chris Riley, Annapolis, 12:21:56 904. Britt McCormick, Columbia, 12:49:54 1036. Ed Trottier, Columbia, 13:32:47 1043. Kevin Gould, Baltimore, 13:35:36 1071. Marge Burley, Baltimore, 13:48:57 1140. Stephen Sussman, Baltimore, 14:20:25 1183. Ray Stevens, Easton, 14:39:53 1209. Lyn Brooks, Baltimore, 14:54:54 1308.

The media pundits and "savvy" insider strategists who brought you GOP nominee Mitt Romney, unstoppable President Hillary Clinton and hosannas for the all-knowing Alan Greenspan may be facing another surprise over the Employee Free Choice Act.
Despite some in Washington echoing conservative-fed downbeat political speculation and talking points about the pro-union Employee Free Choice Act, strong support for the bill from Barack Obama and Joe Biden at this week's AFL-CIO meeting in Miami spurred opposing reactions that tell a different story.
Conservatives have offered horrified attacks while a new optimism is emerging from union supporters.
One union strategist even proclaimed in an email to reporters:
What have we learned this week? That the Obama Administration is 100
PERCENT behind the Employee Free Choice Act.
All chatter, gossip, and innuendo to the contrary turned out to be just
the usual BS pushed around by opponents of workers actually having a
voice at their job.
President Obama explicitly said he supports the Employee Free Choice
Vice President Joe Biden explicitly said he supports the Employee Free
Sec. of Labor Solis explicitly said she supports the Employee Free
Vice-President Biden's statement provided the clearest indication yet that not only does the Administration support the bill, it will work for it, too. As The New York Times and other news outlets reported:
Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. gave organized labor an extremely warm embrace on Thursday at the A.F.L.-C.I.O.'s executive council meeting here.
Mr. Biden began by thanking the presidents of several unions, including the painters, firefighters, teachers and mine workers, for campaigning alongside him in various states last fall.
"It's good to be home," Mr. Biden told a ballroom in the Fountainebleau Hotel that was filled with union leaders and their aides. "The best place for me to be in my whole career is to be surrounded by organized labor."
Then, he added to huge applause, "You all brought me to the dance a long time ago, and it's time we start dancing."
He also championed union organizing legislation, a proposal that is becoming one of the more contentious proposals up on Capitol Hill, with battle lines already drawn between labor and business.
Despite Biden's strong endorsement, the National Association of Manufacturer's blog, Shopfloor, tried its best to keep the "savvy" insider narrative line going that it was only a brief, lukewarm endorsement that didn't improve the bill's chances:
Surprisingly brief comments about the Employee Free Chocie Act. In fact, just a single paragraph. The AFL-CIO leaders must be disappointed....
"So, folks, that's why there's no one thing we have to do. This is all going to be difficult, and one of the most difficult things will be to reinstitute that basic bargain. And I think the way to do that is the Employee Free Choice Act. (Applause.)
"Folks, let's get it straight -- we're not asking -- we're not asking for anything we don't deserve. And we're not asking for anything that wasn't intended when the NLRB said we should be encouraging -- encouraging -- unions. We just want to level this playing field again."
But, in fact, the AFL-CIO and other unions aren't disappointed at all. As the AFL-CIO blog reported yesterday:
Vice President Joe Biden told the AFL-CIO Executive Council today that returning our economy to health means restoring the basic right to join a union and bargain collectively. And the way to do that is by passing the Employee Free Choice Act.
He quoted President Obama saying: '"I don't buy the argument that providing workers with collective bargaining rights somehow weakens the economy or worsens the business environment."
"If you've got workers who have a decent pay and benefits, they also are customers for your business. So let me add to that and say that I have a simple, basic belief, one that we're going to work hard to put into action: If a union is what you want, a union you're entitled to have."

With snow in the forecast and cold temperatures, Friday’s Mets/Rockies game was postponed before either team even reported to Coors Field. The teams are now scheduled to play a doubleheader Saturday beginning at 5:10 p.m. Jacob deGrom and Joey Lucchesi are the Mets’ scheduled starting pitchers for the seven-inning games.
The Mets had their series finale against the Phillies rained out on Thursday. The teams were also washed out Monday, but played a doubleheader the following day. The awful weather week started Sunday for the Mets, with their game against the Marlins suspended in the first inning because of a downpour.
Also, the Mets had their opening three-game series in Washington postponed because of COVID-19 concerns, after Nationals players tested positive.

Baidu CEO Robin Li. (Photo/Xinhua)
Baidu, China's leading internet search provider, is experiencing slowing growth after it reported "only" 49.7% growth in sales during the third quarter of this year, down from an earlier quarterly growth rate of 70% for several years, Shanghai's First Financial Daily reports.
According to the company's financial report published on Oct. 30, the company's total business revenue in the third quarter was 6.25 billion yuan (US$1 billion), up 49.7% from the same period last year. Its net profit was 3.01 billion yuan (US$481.85 million), which was a 59.8% year-on-year growth.
The company's Q4 revenue is expected to be lower, compared with the past few years, owing to a decline in revenue from advertising sales after the summer, the economic slowdown and the emergence of new competitors in the internet search market.
The situation has caused Robin Li, CEO of the company, to experience a growing sense of crisis. Li had previously said that given the ongoing Chinese economic downturn, only companies that were able to adapt to the new environment would survive in the market.
Li said Baidu would guide its users to shift to mobile internet services, while stepping up investment in new businesses and innovation and improve operating efficiency.
He also said that he had encountered many problems over the last few years. For instance, he was criticized in a report for the slow speed of Baidu's web searches.
The report also urged Li to pay more attention to the problem of internet security, which had been ignored by Baidu.
Additionally, Baidu's launch of a browser for Android devices has not yielded the desired results, according to the report.
Baidu needs to evolve for the future and is at a crucial stage of evolution, Li said in a speech recently. Strategically, Baidu needs to invest more money in new businesses and innovation and encourage progress, he added.
Baidu also had to downsize management and enhance efficiency by reducing meetings and making decisions in a more timely fashion, Li said.
Baidu was being threatened by some of its competitors in the industry, who had a slight edge over the company in moving forward in the era of mobile internet, the report noted.

2019 will be a year of molting for social media. It is still unclear whether they molt or if they are skinned. Political Manipulation via Social Media has become a normality, harassment of women and hatred overall in social media everyday. The state of social media in the year 2018 is, to put it mildly-ugly – nonsense: catastrophic. After all, The problems have become so big, so undeniable, and especially so publicly, that consequences will be drawn. So I’m here to discuss three dimensions of social media for 2019.
The asshole is a problem of Social Media
This is less meant that there are assholes in social media – but that a surprisingly high number of them leads to social media. Twitter boss Jack Dorsey wears the crown currently, he gain it honestly. At the beginning of December, he made a meditation holiday in Myanmar, highlighted the great beauty of the country and said his big goal: “How can I suffer?” In Myanmar, a genocide is taking place, according to UN investigators, particularly fueled by propaganda and Fake News in social media. To put in such a place, the question as to his own Suffering, the track is even for the Silicon-Valley ratios cynical.
And Sheryl Sandberg, Chief Operating Officer of Facebook, has stood up in the scandal involving the defamation of Facebook critics after a week-long lie in, to have a job at a notorious PR firm know.
But, of course, good for these episodes only as symbols of a deep-seated problem: The leading figures in social media have taken care of over the years, especially to the optimization of the business model. Adverse effects and side effects were either ignored as a cosmetic problems, or concealed, beautiful lie. And even still, as a public long errors, improvement was praised.
again and again evidence of the ruthlessness of the business channels from Facebook to Twitter, Snapchat to be known. Not to mention the Russian and Chinese Social Networks, the already as the henchmen of their respective authoritarian governments have to be considered. Capitalism has holes, traditionally problems with ass – but if their Actions diminish the market value, then the pressure is increased massively. Unfortunately, this economic pressure does not follow automatically a socially useful solution of the problems, which is why the policy is needed. But, alas.
The digital esoteric misregulation machine
The European and German policy, so far only a few meaningful perspectives on the digital sphere can develop. The principle of platform with economic and social consequences was politically imbued. Tech-nationalism is not only acceptable, but often desirable. And how, digital corporations right to regulate, is still unclear. Not good conditions to get to the social problems with social media politically in the handle.
judging by the quality of the political debate, then the discussion of Social Bots proved that the policy is threatening to develop to a MIS-regulation machine. Across parties, most of the political Statements to Social Bots were sheer digital esotericism: Unencumbered by technical problems will be presumed to know, on the basis of keywords. But faith mixed with gut feeling and is complemented by the trump solution classic “it’s all quite simple!!!”. Then powerful lay people call mouths, what might want to listen to the helpless laymen ears. In the worst case, a bad compromise for a non-functioning solution to a non-existent problem comes out in the end. And then, a limit value for the heavy metal pollution in the Bridle of minors unicorns is hailed as a political breakthrough.
on the Basis of concrete Utterances of powerful figures is to be feared, that both anonymity and Pseudonymity in social media to be politically attacked, as well as the misunderstood Half-Problem of Social Bots law of consequences is likely to have. Although there are Social Bots, but the media was not effective, often under the effect exists. The digital esoteric misregulation machine will not rest, presumably, to German Bots lit up properly, with number signs as well as insurance plaque was allowed to botting. I wish it were a joke.
And, unfortunately, it is not only the lack of Know-how, as in all democratic parties in Germany, in part, excellent Expertise is now available. You can prevail just too rare, because up to the present day in the highest decision-making levels of the German policy, the digital reality is regarded as something to be negotiated. Where it is believed that the measurable reality of their existence argue. I’m waiting for the day where politically required, it should – Black-and-White Thinking! – in the digital world is no longer Zero and One, we must, finally, also about the duty to grey as 0.5 think.
there is also without digital esotericism enormous need for action – because the policy remains the most important instance of for the urgently necessary, effective regulation of social media. More than ever, the influence of the Internet on societies around the world. Only this usually happens differently than I thought.
The wrong filter bubbles-question
Because regularly shatter previous, experts, widespread assumptions about the nature of the digital society. Warnings of the harmful effect of the “filter bubble”, for example, are ubiquitous and are parroting by private individuals, the media and politics.
The concept originates from a book from 2011, but in the meantime, the concept and the debate to the Absurd into independent and “Algorithms” as the reason for the ills of the digital society, because: the filter bubble. Will geraunt with a menacing undertone, “you will see only the own opinion”. Anyone who says that is either perception, savers or not in social media.
to Me is not a social Medium, that too little controversy brings in the normal, politically-interested use . On the contrary, it has become difficult to make even remotely politically understandable Statements, to harvest without fierce opposition. It is hard, that huge people are said to have spent amounts in the year 2018 in a harmonic Social Media environment.
although There is the phenomenon of the filter bubble, but it is more complex and ambiguous than is usually summoned, it must be understood, for example, as a protective space and productive space for Discussion. And at the same time, transported with the conventional warning of the filter bubble is the assumption that the confrontation with opposing opinions in social media will lead to a better, less polarized society. Somehow.
An American team of researchers has bubbles of this implicit Conviction of the Filter admonisher puts a severe damper on. In August 2018, they published a study according to which the polarization seems to significantly increase when one is exposed to in social media opposing opinions. In the case of Conservatives and Right, the effect seems to be stronger than in the case of Left-wing and liberal. Where the adoption of a fruitful debate on the political camp, in social media, she is the exception. To bring the filter bubble to Burst! That sounds like a great solution to the problems with social media – but magical Thinking is ultimately off-the-Social-Media-reality.
And so we slipped into the year 2019, social media will dominate the digital Public sphere. Many of the beautiful, every day tangible Social-Media-Islands in a sea of Dysfunction, manipulation, and non-stand beauty.

The Twins continue to find themselves further and further behind the leaders in the American League Central and the wildcard race after a 6-1 loss to the White Sox Wednesday. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says it would make sense for the Twins to trade 41-year old designated hitter Nelson Cruz to a contending team.

The Twins improved to 3-1 after posting a 15-6 win at Detroit against the Tigers Monday afternoon. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today from Augusta, Georgia. Jim says Nelson Cruz was impressive with his 2 home runs and he continues to defy the odds playing at a high level into his 40s.
The Twins agreed to sign 40-year old designated hitter Nelson Cruz to a 1-year $13 Million contract. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says the Twins know what to expect from Cruz. He says Cruz will give them professional at-bats, drive in runs, hit in the clutch and be a positive in the club house. Jim says Cruz' age is a concern but with Cruz' hard work he's optimistic he won't hit the wall this season.
The Twins downed the Detroit Tigers 7-6 Wednesday night to complete a sweep of the 2-game series. The Twins moved into 1st place in the American League Central by 1/2 game over the Chicago White Sox. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today.
The Twins won 5-4 at home against Pittsburgh Monday night after falling behind 4-0. Nelson Cruz hit the walk-off single with less than 2 outs and first base open.

The Twins won 2 out of 3 in Chicago against the White Sox to open the season this past weekend. Minnesota won 14-2 yesterday and were led by 40-year old designated hitter Nelson Cruz. Cruz had 4 hits, 2 home runs, 2 doubles and 7 RBIs. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today.
Major League Baseball owners' latest proposal hasn't been voted on by the players but that could change today. The players reportedly were going to vote Sunday but decided against that. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan says the players generally feel that that owners haven't been giving them good offers throughout this process.
The Twins outscored the White Sox 14-4 Tuesday night behind 4 extra base hits from designated hitter Nelson Cruz. Cruz homered and had 3 doubles in the win just 2 days into his return from the injured list.

AC/DC released their 17th studio album called Power Up in November 2020. If you loved AC/DC in the ’80s, you are going to love this album, and in particular, this song and video for Through The Mists of Time. The song is awesome, but the music video is incredible! The video showcases photos of both current and former members of the band, and for those of us who have been fans of the band since the ’70s, it’s an emotional ride.
The lyrics were written by lead guitarist Angus Young, and lead singer Brian Johnson told The Independent that he still sees Malcolm in his mind every time his song is played.
“Whenever I hear it, I still get goose bumps,” he said. “I still think of him. I was thinking of him when I sang it. It’s just these things about the happy days when we first started in the ’80s, when I first joined the band. I just remember these very happy, carefree days. And Angus did a magnificent job of putting those lyrics together. I think he really felt it, too, because him and Malcolm were inseparable.”Brian Johnson via songfacts.com

Artist/ Band: Ashes To Ashes
Title: Cardinal VII
Label: DVS Records
Year of Release: 2002
Offical Artist/ Band Link
- With the Scandinavian metal scene is growing as of late, it's latest entry is that of a Norwegian band called, Ashes To Ashes is sure to please, with nods to "prog-metal" and "gothic metal". On their second CD to date, Cardinal VII (first with prog-metal label, DVS Records), the band fuses various styles and emotions of heavy metal without going the route of bands past and present. The band gives a good description of the combinations of these styles by calling their music "Gregorian Metal".
Both fans of gothic & heavy metal especially those that love Black Sabbath and (early) Metallica will be very pleased with this release by showing some speed and neo-classical based metal riffs. Lead vocalist, Kenneth Brastad, provides the voice for the band, leading the listener through some aggressive yet brooding lyrical passages. He has a distinctive voice that thankfully doesn't go the way of those annoying operatic vocal acrobats to get the lyrics across plagues in the metal scene.
The rest of the band is in tune providing the musical intrumentation, Michael Stenburg (guitar); Bjorn Luna (bass); Ronny Kaasa (drums) provides some great playing. Plus an amazing amount unaccredited keyboards and strings make this a highly recommended to those that love their music on the heavy side!

The midweek rain had little effect on rivers other than cooling the water.
From the angler's point of view, things are looking about as near perfect as you can get for fishing during Easter weekend. Rivers are low and clear and the weather forecast is good.
There are showers forecast for the weekend but not enough to radically change river levels, which are still very low.
For the second weekend in a row it looks as if fishing conditions are about as good as they get. All waters are at a fishable level, although some may be too low or weedy for some anglers. The difficulty will be which water to choose.
I always think of February as one of the better months of the trout-fishing season. Usually the weather is warm and relatively settled and it has been reasonable in the first half of the month.
The rain that fell at the beginning of the week did not affect rivers and streams too much and all except the Clutha are at a reasonably fishable level for the weekend. If you are both a salmon fisher and a trout fisher you will have difficulty deciding where to go at the moment.
The glorious weather of the last week or so has brought all running waters to a good fishable level, except (there is always an exception) for the Clutha, which has dropped a lot but still has a way to go. And just as the rivers settle, the cicadas start on the tussock lakes to add to the surfeit of riches, making the decision of where to fish that much harder.
As I write this, rivers and streams are looking good for the weekend and the weather forecast holds nothing ominous. Mind you, I thought the same last week and it all fell apart at the last moment. We can but hope.
The rain of recent days has mainly affected rivers to the north and east of the region, leaving South Otago and Southland unaffected. However, as the forecast is unsettled, regional council websites should be consulted before setting out to catch a fish.
The dramatic weather of the past few days will affect fishing this weekend. The best advice I can give is fish a still water if you are in the middle of the region. If you are close to the east coast you should find the Shag, Waianakarua, Waikouaiti and Kakanui Rivers fishable. The Taieri is looking reasonable, too, and while the top of the river has been high it takes a while for the water to work its way through the system.
Water temperatures have been high lately and look to continue that way with hot weather forecast for the first weekend of the New Year. One river that is not affected by heat is the Clutha; the sheer volume of water prevents it warming up and cooling down rapidly. Finding a gravel beach to fish from early in the morning or late in the evening, the times when insects are more likely to be on the water, offers a good chance of catching a few trout. The usual mayfly and sedge patterns should work.
During the past week, river conditions have been the most stable so far this season: ideal for holiday fishing.
This is the time of year that most fishers dream about - days on end of being able to go fishing whenever the desire comes over us. Yeah right!
Once again as we approach the weekend everything looks promising from the fishing point of view but as we have seen over the last couple of weeks, conditions can deteriorate rapidly at the last moment.
Despite rising a little last weekend, rivers continue to fall and are approaching summer levels and are looking good for this weekend.
At the time of writing, rivers were at their lowest level since the season began and the big decision will be where to fish when just about anywhere would give opportunities to catch fish.
The relatively mild and breezy weather this week helped dry out saturated ground and consequently rivers and streams have been dropping steadily. Most small streams are in good fishing order but the bigger rivers, the Taieri, Clutha and Mataura, are still a bit on the high side.
I am a bit wary offering advice about where to fish this coming weekend, as my predictions have been a bit wide of the target lately.
For the first weekend in a while, the prospects for fishing are good, with rivers and streams falling to normal levels and the water temperature rising.
Labour Weekend has a bad reputation for weather. I have often heard it said that the weather is always adverse, from the angler's point of view. My fishing diaries do not bear this out.

I have read that in Great Britain and western Europe the use of opiods for non cancer pain is 1/4-1/5th as high as in the USA. For chronic non cancer pain the evidence that I have seen indicate that patients treated with long term opiods have as much pain, more disability, more depression, more suicide, and a lower quality of life. For helping pain a pill is quick and easy, but treatments that take more time and effort such as CBT, exercise, etc. may have far more long term benefit with much less risk. Patients want the quick and easy but as physicians we should give the best and safest treatment.
Bulletin from the Opioid Crisis
Bulletin from the Opioid Crisis

A new crop of research studies and reflections will interest primary care providers.
- Abigail Zuger, MD
In the past month alone (July/August 2017), almost a dozen articles and commentaries on the opioid crisis have appeared in major medical journals, with other articles in smaller publications and ongoing top-volume coverage in the lay media. Despite this flood of data and anecdote, urgent questions remain unanswered, including the most pressing concern for primary care clinicians: How best to manage patients who are already taking opioids and those newly requesting relief of serious pain.
A new survey makes clear that, despite all the new cautions, opioids still are being widely prescribed. U.S. researchers used audio computer-assisted self-interviewing to provide participants with a layer of privacy and confidentiality. From a weighted national sample of 51,200 adults, the investigators concluded that 91.8 million adult Americans — more than one third of the entire adult population — took opioids at some point during 2015. Among patients who took opioids, 12.5% confirmed that they misused the drugs (used them without a prescription or in any way contrary to medical direction). In 16.7% of misusers, an opioid-use disorder (as defined in the DSM-IV [Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition]) could be diagnosed.
These data speak loudly to the dearth of good nonopioid options for pain control. Patients often say they find acetaminophen ineffective, and the NSAIDS have gastrointestinal, renal, and cardiovascular side effects, which can limit their use, particularly in older patients. As New England Journal of Medicine authors outline, a surge of clinicians attempting to control pain without opioids probably is responsible for the steep recent increase in prescriptions for the anticonvulsants pregabalin (Lyrica) and gabapentin. However, these drugs have been proven to be effective only for fibromyalgia and certain forms of neuropathic pain and might prove to be disappointing alternatives for other pain syndromes.
Looking to the future, the directors of the NIH and its Drug Abuse Institute report that a spectrum of novel pain treatments is in the research pipeline. These range from opioids with sophisticated abuse-deterrent properties to nonaddictive agonists for the brain's morphine receptors. Direct brain stimulation and gene therapies lie farther in the future. Also under development are better tools for treating overdose and opioid-use disorders. The government scientists promise effective partnerships between public agencies and private industry to fuel an “all hands on deck” approach to the crisis.
In the interim, though, what are clinicians to do? In a new meta-analysis, researchers sorted through 67 published studies of various strategies for dose-reducing or stopping opioids in amenable patients. Tools evaluated included other drugs (e.g., benzodiazepines, ketamine, clonidine, buprenorphine) and nonpharmacologic techniques such as acupuncture, meditation, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Successful opioid withdrawal with amelioration of pain and improvement in quality of life were reported commonly, but overall the evidence was of such poor quality that no meaningful comparisons between interventions could be structured.
In a prospective study, researchers examined the outcome of a coordinated intervention for primary care practices struggling with opioid misusers. Intensive opioid-care management by a nurse was combined with electronic tracking and decision tools and personal training sessions for providers. The intervention led to significant improvements in guideline-concordant care as well as in rates of opioid dose reduction and discontinuation. The bottom line here is that if some of the basic grunt work of opioid management is shared by a team of trained and willing clinicians, rather than left to the beleaguered primary provider alone, more rational management can be achieved.
Although the quantity of opioid misuse and pathologic abuse in the U.S. indeed is staggering, most individuals can take these medications with neither misuse nor abuse — at least, if we believe the self-reported data in the survey. This conclusion squares with my own clinical experience with many dozens of patients who take long-term opioids for chronic pain, virtually all of whom were first given the drugs by long-vanished providers and who came to my care with their pain management routines cast in cement. Some of them were clearly misusing or diverting medication and stormed off to other sources of care when I declined to participate. The others tolerated slow dose reductions to what I consider reasonable amounts and have been with me ever since, some for decades. Most receive a daily morphine-equivalent of well under 30 mg and lead (as least as far as I can tell) safe and unremarkable lives. Their urine toxicology tests are in order, they are never demanding or abusive, they adhere to treatment for their other medical conditions, and their pain remains a small, routine part of our visits. I was always a reluctant prescriber (New York Times 1995 Oct 29), even back in the days when lavish opioid prescribing was encouraged, not discouraged. These patients, though, actually have convinced me that, with patience and caution, opioids can be used safely and effectively in some people.

I'd like to see more research using cannabis for pain & opiate addiction.
I have been a primary care physician for 39 years. I took on office based opioid prescribing for chronic pain for several years. I followed all the guidelines ie pain contracts, pill counts, urine drug tests, website monitoring. It was tedious, time consuming, and draining of time and patience. A large number, probably the majority, of patients became very dependent on the drugs and often very manipulating. It was so distasteful I finally quit completely. I know that is not the solution to the opioid problem as some patients likely legitimately need opioids to control their pain and function fully. I also prescribed Suboxone which actually was very rewarding. I saw how it truly worked and the patients that used to lie and manipulate in order to get more drugs, were honest and satisfied with reasonable doses. It truly is a unique and non addicting opioid. My solution to the opioid crisis would be for the DEA to approve all forms of buprenorphine for pain not merely addiction, and make it the only opioid approved for long term use for non cancer pain. The dependence, accelerated use, addiction, and abuse would go all away.

As I posted the last time these were on here, the videos show somewhat of a false claim. It appears the demonstration is putting out a grease fire on the stove. These extinguishers are not rated Class K, which is for Kitchen type fires. In addition, the demonstration show the use of an ABC Dry Chem extinguisher on a grease fire, which has been proven to spray grease around. This is why they are not listed for kitchen use.
As well, it appears that the agent and foam are UL listed, however, it does not state that the device is UL listed.

This holiday season has been very generous to e-tailers, with record breaking numbers left and right. This begs a few questions such as: what changed from last year? Well, one of the largest changes appears to be what consumers were shopping for:
“According to early online shopping statistics, sales of holiday stalwarts like jewelry, watches and flowers have dropped from last year’s levels, while sales of more practical items like furniture and appliances have climbed about 70 percent.“
These reports are only preliminary, and the final results could shift a few percentage points in either way. That said, we can certainly see a possible motivation to shop online for more practical items. After all, who wants to fight the holiday crowds just to order a new blender? On the other hand, if one were buying a watch or other piece of jewelry, one might be more interested in actually examining the item in question before making the purchase.

For the last twelve months, we’ve had our heads down working hard on Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture and it’s really exciting to be able to share some more information with you as well as a new trailer. If you already know The Chinese Room, you’ll know that we make story-driven games. Creating a rich, deep world with strong drama and exceptional production values is key to what we’re all about. Rapture is set in a remote valley in June 1984 and is a story about people and how they live with each other. But it’s also about the end of the world. Rapture is inspired by the fiction of John Wyndham, J. G. Ballard, John Christopher and other authors who deal with ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. There’s a very particular English feel that we wanted to capture in the game, a combination of the epic and the intimate. Rapture also came from our obsession with post-apocalyptic gaming, and the simple idea that whilst we normally play as the hero, in reality, most of us would be the piles of ash and bone littering the game world. That’s an interesting place to start telling a story. Our approach is to create a game that you can utterly immerse yourself in. Yaughton Valley, where Rapture takes place, is a living, breathing world. The world of Rapture is not just a backdrop; it’s a character in its own right. It’s great working with PS4 as its processing power makes a game like this possible for a team our size. The game is all about discovery. It’s open-world so you have the freedom to explore wherever you like, visiting areas in an order you define, and the story is written to allow this whilst making sure every player has a strong dramatic experience. It’s a type of storytelling that is completely unique to games. The choices you make as a player have a direct impact on how you understand the story – the more you explore and interact, the deeper you are drawn into Rapture’s world.

An engineering student has invented a device to address this age-old question.
The University of Wisconsin in Madison has a campus unit called SWAP (Surplus with a Purpose) that sells all sorts of used school equipment. For the past 5 years, the university has run a contest call the ‘Wiscontrepreneur 100-hour Challenge’. Students interested in participating are given a voucher that allows them to purchase any item(s) from SWAP, provided it has a value of $15 or less. The challenge is to transform the item(s) into something that is “valuable, innovative or socially beneficial”… and to do this within 100 hours.
Entries are reviewed by a panel of judges and a winner is selected in each of three categories: most creative, most value (money) generated, and most social value generated. One of the winners was Kody Habeck, a Bachelor of Science student, who shared the $300 prize for most value created. Using materials worth a total of $14.95, Kody designed and built a device he dubbed the “Clean-Seat”.
