The argument has been around since EU3 came out - which is better, Mercantilism or Free Trade?
The answer is simple, right? Free Trade is better if you are small, Mercantilism is better if you conquer and own a CoT...
Not quite true. To really understand the value of the sliders, you have to take everything into account.
First, the sliders themselves:
.2 spies, 8% domestic compete chance, 10% Domestic Placement Chance, +4% spy defense per level.
+5% merchant cost per level.
+5% foreign compete chance, +2% TE, +.4 merchants, -5% merchant cost per level
-4% spy defense per level
Next, let's take into account decisions:
- Mining Act
+1 Mercantilism, +5% Global Tax, +6% PE
-0.04 Merchants/yr, -3% Merchant Placement Chance, -3% Compete Chance
Requires Gov 31, at least 1 gold, copper, or iron prov, sheriff advisor, tax assessor in capital, Mercantilism 2+
- Navigation Act
+6% TE, +3% Global Trade Income, +10% Naval Force Limit, +0.5%/year Navy Tradition, +8% Manpower, +5% Foreign Compete Chance
Requires Mercantilism 1+, 40% overseas provinces, NTP, collector advisor
- House of Trade
+1 Mercantilism, +8% Global Trade Income, +5% Global Tax, +0.05 Merchants/yr
+6% Stability Cost, +4% Galley cost, +4% Big Ship cost, +3% Merchant cost, +3% Colonist cost
Requires Latin tech group, 30% overseas provinces, NTP, 50% TE, Mercantilism 1+
- Bank of Amsterdam
-5% inflation, +10% global trade income modifier
Requires NB, Free Trade 2+, Netherlands
- Statute of Monopolies
+1 Free Trade, +3% TE, +3% PE
+5% Stability cost
Requires Free Trade 1+ (but not +5), 1 CoT
Now, Triggered Modifiers:
- Sound Toll
+20% Global Trade Income
Requires Mercantilism 3+, Skane, Fyn, and Sjaelland.
- Bosphorus Sound Toll
+15% Global Trade Income
Requires Mercantilism 3+, Edirne, Bursa, Thrace, and Bithynia
- East Indian trade route
+20% Global Trade Income
Requires less than Free Trade 2, QftNW, Latin tech, discover Cape of Good Hope, 4 ports, either Muscat or Dadra, and an unowned CoT in Dadra, Bihar, Sunda, or Guangzhou.
Finally, Trade Goods:
- Grain (FT 1+):-80% Supply Modifier
- Ivory (Merc 1+):-50% Demand Modifier
- Tea (Merc 1+):-50% Demand Modifier
- Chinaware (Merc 1+):-50% Demand Modifier
- Spices (Merc 1+):-50% Demand Modifier
- Coffee (Merc 1+):-50% Demand Modifier
- Cotton (Merc 1+):-50% Demand Modifier
- Sugar (Merc 1+):-50% Demand Modifier
- Tobacco(Merc 1+):-50% Demand Modifier
Reducing Supply increases prices, reducing demand decreases them.
Now, we'll sum it all up:
At max Mercantilism, with all decisions and triggered modifiers, you have:
1 spy/year, 37% domestic compete chance, 50% domestic placement chance, +20% spy defense, +6 TE, +6% PE, +10% Global Tax, +56% Global Trade Income, +10% Naval Force Limit, +0.5%/year Navy Tradition, +8% Manpower, +2% Foreign Compete Chance, +0.01 Merchants/yr
+25% merchant cost, -0.04 Merchants/yr, -3% Merchant Placement Chance, +.02 infamy/year, +6% Stability Cost, +4% Galley cost, +4% Big Ship cost, +3% Merchant cost, +3% Colonist cost
-50% for many Colonial good prices
At max Free Trade, you have:
[COLOR="Lime"]+25% foreign compete chance, +13% TE, +3% PE, +2 merchant/yr, -25% merchant cost
-20% spy defense per level, +5% Stability cost
+400% Grain prices
(Keep in mind that if you start Free Trade, you can grab Statute of Monopolies before going Mercantilistic.)
Thus, over the long term, Mercantilism wins in HTTT, hands down, once you get the 3 triggered modifiers. The -50% penalty to colonial goods is outpaced by the +56% global trade income modifier. Free Trade is better if you need to kick start trade early (+25% compete chance is equivalent to 50% TE difference)
Keep in mind that you have to leave a CoT unowned (thus no WC), and your colonial goods take a beating. Also, in IN, the Sound Toll requires you to have a Scandinavian primary culture, and the Bosphorus Sound Toll requires Thrace to be unowned and have a CoT. This was one reason why Free Trade was more preferable.

Forgotten for half a century, this rare bean could save Sierra Leone’s coffee industry
(CNN) – About 200 miles southeast of the capital of Sierra Leone, agricultural researcher Daniel Sarmu has discovered a life in the steep, damp hills of Kambui.
In 2018, Sarmu and two researchers from the Royal Botanic Gardens of Kew in the UK were on a mission to find the long-lost Sierra Leone coffee stenophylla. The rare West African coffee tree had not been seen there in the wild since 1954, although it has been sporadically spotted in Guinea and CÃ´te d’Ivoire over the years.
The rediscovery of Sierra Leone’s highland coffee has renewed hope that this rare crop could be grown and produced commercially – and help revive the struggling coffee industry in the country, decimated by 11 years of civil war.
âCoffee could change the narrative of our farmers,â Sarmu told CNN.
A rediscovered plant
After discovering a wild garden of about 15 stenophylla plants growing in the hills, the research team collected samples to test them.
âThe coffee markets are very interested in anything that is different – especially if it has good flavor attributes,â says Jeremy Haggar, an agroecologist at the University of Greenwich in the UK and one of the researchers who rediscovered stenophylla coffee with Sarmu. “Chances are, the specialty coffee market will take an interest in it, and they could be paying very high prices.”
The Stenophylla coffee plant was rediscovered by Daniel Sarmu (right) and researchers Aaron Davis (left) and Jeremy Haggar in 2018.

This is good news for Sierra Leone, which is at the forefront of the stenophylla renaissance. But there is still a long way to go before this rare bean enters our coffee cups. The wild plant needs to be domesticated and studied further to develop better strategies for growth and management.
A coveted coffee
“Coffea stenophylla” has not always been a scarce commodity.
Despite coffee production, Sierra Leone is not known for its local coffee culture. Many people opt for instant coffee from brands like NescafÃ© instead.
Michael Duff / CNN
But in the 1950s, Robusta coffee was introduced to Sierra Leone by the British. Robusta is a more productive plant but is generally considered to be of lower quality. As both coffees sold for the same price, farmers began to replace the old native culture. Over time, the stenophylla was forgotten.
These local women-run businesses seek to revitalize Sierra Leone’s coffee culture, while reviving its coffee industry with a local bean that is highly prized for the international market.
A new coffee culture
However, that culture is starting to change, says Hannah Tarawally, founder of Coffee Courier, a coffee producer and cafÃ© in the country’s capital, Freetown.
âBefore, my friends didn’t drink coffee, but because I introduced it to them, they can see and taste the difference,â she says. “So I think it will change for Sierra Leoneans to start using our own local products.”
More and more local coffee producers are entering the domestic market, including Coffee Courier, Aromatic Coffee and Nina’s Coffee.
Michael Duff / CNN
Tarawally started hand roasting her own beans in 2015 and says she was one of the first in the country to do so. Her brand, Salone Coffee, now exports to Liberia and she hopes to enter the European market soon. In 2020, Coffee Courier opened its first cafÃ© in Freetown – one of the country’s first dedicated cafes, an indication of the change in attitude towards local produce.
Tarawally is not alone in creating an internal market for craft breweries. Aromatic Coffee, a stall in a Freetown market, was one of the first in town, and Nina’s Coffee, another Freetown cafÃ©, hand roasted its beans on site.
When it hits the market, the rediscovered stenophylla coffee could reinforce this burgeoning coffee scene – a scene Tarawally hopes all Sierra Leoneans will participate in.
âWe’re not just aiming for an international market, but we have to target our country,â Tarawally says. “We need to target the layman in Sierra Leone who can drink coffee and make it a part of all of us.”

Ceres Police Department has been awarded a $48,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for a year-long program aimed at preventing deaths and injuries on roadways through special enforcement and public awareness efforts.
The grant received by Ceres will aid in the city's ongoing effort to improve traffic safety and the quality of life. Ceres Police Department will use the funding as part of an on-going commitment to keep our roadways safe through both enforcement and education.
"In poor economic times we are fortunate to be recipients of grant funding from the Office of Traffic Safety to help eliminate impaired motorists from our roadways," said Ceres Police Chief Art de Werk. "This funding allows our officers to increase enforcement activities and target DUI offenders. This state funding makes it possible to increase roadway safety for all members of the public. Ceres Police is an enthusiastic participant in this effort."
The grant will assist in efforts to deal with traffic safety problems and to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in traffic collisions. While traffic deaths from all causes declined by nearly 39 percent between 2006 and 2010 in California, they rose by 2.6 percent in 2011. DUI-related crash deaths remain the largest sector, at nearly 30 percent of traffic fatalities. Recent trends show increases in two new categories - distracted driving and drug-impaired driving.
Activities that the grant will fund include:
• Specialized DUI and drugged driving training such as Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), and Drug Recognition Evaluator (DRE);
• DUI saturation patrols;
• Motorcycle safety enforcement;
• Distracted driving enforcement;
• Seat belt and child safety seat enforcement;
• Speed, red light and stop sign enforcement;
• Warrant operations targeting multiple DUI offenders;
• Compilation of DUI "hot sheets" identifying worst-of-the-worst DUI offenders;
• Stakeout operations to observe the "worst of the worst" repeat DUI offender probationers with suspended or revoked driver licenses.
Funding for this program is from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

WWE Megastar John Cena is one of the all-time greats of the wrestling industry. He has achieved almost everything in his career spanning over 20 years.
However, John Cena is now rarely seen in the in-ring action due to his busy schedule in Hollywood. The Leader of Cenation fought his last match at SummerSlam 2021.
He usually comes back for a match or two every year, but surprisingly has not fought a single match this year. This is leading to a lot of speculations.
Former WWE head writer Vince Russo believes that 16-time world champion John does not need to wrestle now, and should retire.
Russo said that he would not be surprised if John Cena does not return and retires from WWE forever, like his boss former chairman Vince McMahon.
John Cena has always been one of Vince McMahon’s most liked and trusted top superstars. Russo says he doesn’t think the 16 time World Champion has the same loyalty for Triple H.
Speaking on SK Wrestling’s Legion of Raw, when Russo was asked about Cena’s retirement, he said,
“I don’t know about it at all. At the moment, he doesn’t need to do that but when it happens, you never know. He was very loyal to Vince McMahon. He felt that Vince owes him something. I believe that’s why he always came back to the company. I doubt John Cena’s loyalty towards Triple H. I think Cena had different feelings with Vince.”
John Cena may be a part of WWE WrestleMania 39
According to some recent reports, 16-time world champion John Cena may appear at WrestleMania 39 next year. However, this news has not been confirmed by Cena or WWE yet.
Fans would also like to see a match between the Cena leader and current Mr. Money in the Bank, Austin Theory, at Show of the Shows.

Yin yang tealight holder selenite
The name selenite comes from the Greek moongoddess Selene, because of the moonlike light shining through the yin yang tealight holder when a tealight is lit. Selenite has different colors, but the white and transparant crystals are known to have the strongest qualities.
Yin and yang refer to the duality of life and the universe. Yin stands for femininity and yang for the masculinity. They’re opposites, but they’re also complementary. Where yin is connected with the dark moon, yang is connected with the sun. Both can’t exist without the other as there is no light without darkness.
Can I use the Canndle tealights in the yin yang tealight holder?
Yes, you can. The Canndle tealights don’t have an aluminium cup, so it’s important to clean the wax out of the tealight holder. This can be done by gently scraping the last wax with a spoon out of the candle holder. Don’t put the candle holder in water for a long time, but using water to rinse it is okay.
It’s a gift, can you wrap it for me?
We sure can! Just add the giftwrap or giftwrap + handwritten card to your shopping cart and we’ll wrap the yin yang tealight holder as a gift for you. Even better: we don’t add a packing slip, so you can send it directly to the recipient.
Back in 2021 founder Anne fell in love with the art of candle making. She started her own brand: Canndle. Only selling natural candles made from vegan wax and with longer and cleaner burning. With each year that passes she learns more and more techniques to make sure you receive a unique candle. At Canndle you’ll find handmade candles and also homeware. Made from concrete, or other special substances such as the selenite yin yan tealight holder.

Cape County lays out expanded paving schedule with tax increase
Friday, June 9, 2006
The program will be discussed at a public hearing set for June 19.
A proposal for an accelerated county road-paving program states that Cape Girardeau County could blacktop an extra 19 miles of gravel roads during the first six years of a half-cent sales-tax increase.
The detailed program, presented to the Cape Girardeau County Commission by county highway administrator Scott Bechtold, is subject to change and will be discussed at a public hearing June 19.
The tax increase, known as Proposition 1, will be on the Aug. 8 ballot. The tax, which would raise about $5.9 million annually, would also pay for eliminating property taxes dedicated to roads and adding patrol hours for the sheriff's department.
Under the scenarios presented by Bechtold, the county could pave 33.75 miles of road by 2012 with current revenue. The extra funds from a tax increase would allow the county to pave 53 miles of roads during the same period.
The 46 projects on the accelerated list range in length from about one-half mile to a little more than 3 miles. The entire length of the road would be paved in only a handful of the projects.
The projects reflect a mix of requests from across the county, Bechtold said. "We spread it around. We are not doing all the paving around Jackson."
During the meeting, the tax proposal and the rules for putting a road on the county's list were questioned by Delbert Mueller, who lives on County Road 316 northwest of Cape Girardeau.
"People are critical of this tax already," Mueller told the commissioners.
The criteria for winning a spot on the list must be clear to voters and fair, Mueller said. "You probably voiced the opinion of hundreds of people in the county," Commissioner Jay Purcell replied.
Under current eligibility rules, property owners must grant the county easements along a stretch of road that connects with other paved roads. Every property owner in the stretch of road must agree or the project won't be listed.
Mueller's statements sparked a discussion of the rules, with commissioners suggesting that a change could be necessary. "The present policy we've got probably needs refinement," Commissioner Larry Bock said.
Changes suggested during the discussion include setting priorities based on traffic counts and safety concerns. Purcell also suggested the county should consider looking at paving roads for their entire length instead of short stretches.
Sheriff John Jordan, whose department would also benefit from the tax increase, cautioned commissioners to listen closely to any criticism of their plan. "The best ideas are forged in adversity," Jordan said. "The public has to believe it is fundamentally fair. If it looks like something is unfair, it is out the window."
Presiding Commissioner Gerald Jones said he's ready to listen. "Even if a guy is contentious, that is fine," he said.
After leaving the meeting Mueller said the commissioners should hold a public hearing in the evening. "You want as many in there as possible."
The June 19 public hearing is set for the commissioners' regular Monday meeting, which begins at 9 a.m.
The meeting ended with commissioners and officeholders discussing how to explain and sell voters on the half-cent sales tax increase. The three commissioners, County Clerk Rodney Miller, Jordan and former auditor H. Weldon Macke took part in the discussion.
Commissioners have pointed to a push from Macke for the tax as their inspiration to put it on the ballot.
A major selling point, they said, is that the ballot measure is the first county tax increase request since 1982. Another advantage of the tax, they said, is that a large portion -- 40 percent or more -- would be paid by nonresidents drawn by shopping opportunities in the county.
But arguments based on outsiders paying the tax should be muted for fear of alienating people who view Cape Girardeau and Jackson as shopping hubs, Macke warned. "I wouldn't want to emphasize that too much," he said.
Another big plus that should be emphasized, they said, is that the measure will save money on property taxes for everyone who owns real estate or a car. "It is keeping property taxes low in Cape Girardeau County, and that is great for the people who live here," Jordan said.
335-6611, extension 126
The Cape Girardeau County Commission received two lists of road paving projects on Thursday, one funded by current revenue and a second if voters approve a half-cent sales tax increase on Aug. 8.

We love Oregon and exploring its unique features is one of our favorite things to do with our family. We have 3 biological children and we are also a foster family for babies. And if that’s not enough, we sometimes bring our kids’ friends along on trips for extra craziness! No matter who we have along, we pack everyone up and take them on fun adventures throughout Oregon. Rock hounding, caving, camping, hiking, and more, we’re game to try just about anything if it looks like fun. Preparation and planning is the key to adventuring with young children. We do a lot of research before our big trips, and we found that few blogs ever mentioned children. We knew other families would love these same adventures, so we started Oregon Outdoor Family to inspire other families and help you plan your own trips.

#TIA – “Peace not war” was supposed to save us in the 60’s and someone’s trying to convince us again in the 21st century.
In the 20th century, World War II prompted a technological revolution. Physicists and engineers came together to develop atomic energy, rockets, aircraft, remote sensing devices, and more—items that would transform the world. Although their research was eventually adapted for civilian use, much of their work was funded by governments in the service of violence.
Today, the world is once again on the cusp of an innovation boom—with a few key differences, according to The Age of Living Machines, a forthcoming book from Susan Hockfield, president emerita at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The next tech revolution won’t be led by physicists, but by biologists. And this time, she writes, “we will be motivated not by the threat of war but the promise of peace.”

ARP L19 Head Studs B Series
Brand New ARP L19 Head Studs Honda / Acura Integra GSR & Type R B18C, B18C1, B18C5, B18C6 Engines
ARP Part # B18C-L19-HSK - Includes all Studs, Washers and Nuts
ARP Head Studs are used to connect the Cylinder Head to the Engine Block
This is a premium steel that is processed to deliver superior strength and fatigue properties. L19 is a very high strength material compared to 8740 and ARP2000 and is capable of delivering a clamp load at 260,000 psi. It is primarily used in short track and drag racing applications where inertia loads exceed the clamping capability of ARP2000. Like most high strength, quench and temper steels – L19 requires special care during manufacturing to avoid hydrogen embrittlement. This material is easily contaminated and subject to stress corrosion. It must be kept well-oiled and not exposed to moisture.


Plastic part design: From concept to commercialization
Successfully taking a plastic part from concept to commercialization requires the ability to work alongside our customers. Which is why we also share the considerable technical expertise we have built up over the years. We assist our customers with everything from part design through to the manufacturing process.
We also consider factors such as mechanical loading, processing technologies, color needs and surface finish to determine the most appropriate grade of polycarbonate for a particular application. Our wide variety of polycarbonate and polycarbonate blend resins are suitable for a wide range of parts. In addition, we assist customers in material selection, design and production support. This technical support includes CAE, which simulates, validates and optimizes product design and processing.
And there’s still more to part design than the name implies because design isn’t the end; it’s just the beginning. Design should be viewed as an ongoing process that starts with concept development and continues all the way through to fabrication. More specifically, it encompasses initial design, materials selection, planning of manufacture, planning long and short-term structural needs for final assembly, and anticipating potential mold-related considerations such as runners, gating and warpage. The fact that we keep a watchful eye on all these aspects means that you can design parts more successfully and efficiently, and enjoy greater peace of mind too.

Bake 'N Fill Birthday!
Sarah wanted to bake her own birthday cake this year. She has her very own Betty Crocker Bake 'N Fill set of pans that she got for Christmas one year. When she was little, she would see the commercial for them on tv and kept telling us that she wants those pans! We use them once in awhile. This time, she opted for chocolate cake with Oreo Cookies and Cream ice cream filling, cream cheese frosting which she tinted green, topped with Everlasting Gobstoppers.
It requires two cake mixes, but only uses 1 1/2, so you end up with 12 extra cupcakes. There is an insert pan that sits on top when it bakes, forming the center space. I would sometimes rather fill it with pudding since the ice cream cakes have to remain frozen. Even though we let this one sit out for awhile, it was still frozen cake. And, allowing it to freeze and thaw caused the icing and the Gobstoppers to sweat. All in all it was delicious and Sarah had a blast!

Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) has rebutted anti-corruption activist Arvind Kejriwal's allegations that Mr. Mukesh Ambani and his company have illegitimate accounts in Swiss banks.
Kejriwal on Friday alleged that in December 2006, Mukesh Ambani and his brother Anil Ambani had Rs 100 crore each in a Geneva branch of UK-based banking giant HSBC.
The anti-corruption activist also alleged that black money accounts are operated through HSBC Bank, which is facilitating money laundering and hawala transactions in India.
The energy conglomerate claimed that neither Reliance Industries Ltd nor Mr. Mukesh Ambani had any dishonest accounts anywhere around the globe.
The company added that it deals with a number of global banks, including HSBC, and stressed that all those are entirely compliant with all regulations.
Refuting the allegations, the company said, "These accounts are fully compliant with all regulations and are disclosed in their appropriate jurisdictions and in India."
Kejriwal also accused Jet Airways Chairman Naresh Goyal, Reliance Capital & Reliance Infrastructure Chairman Anil Ambani, three people affiliated with Dabur India, Congress MP Anu Tandon of holding "black money" accounts.

I need a dose of Scorpions to make a great day better.
The 73-year-old singer — best known for Oscar-winning song "The Morning After" from the 1973 movie "The Poseidon Adventure" and the single "Can You Read My Mind" from 1978's "Superman" — shared a video on Facebook to reveal she's been diagnosed with a rare form of Alzheimer's.
“I’ve been diagnosed with posterior cortical atrophy with symptoms of Alzheimer’s and/or dementia,” McGovern tells fans in the video, which begins by featuring highlights from her music career.
“What I do, or what I am still able to accomplish, has changed,” she explains. “I can no longer travel or perform in live concerts. In fact, I can no longer drive — how’s that for a kick in the butt?”
While McGovern admits her diagnosis presents "a challenge," she also insists that "it certainly is not going to keep me from living my life."
he initially realized something was wrong, she recalls, when she "began having trouble finding, in my brain, the words I wanted to say. I struggled with the inevitable shock with fear and frankly hopelessness.
"But slowly I realized that my inner life has not changed. My passion for music, for singing, remains profoundly robust. To me, music is a language that expresses what often cannot be said with just words — it elevates, expands, and heals – brings joy and comfort and can eliminate barriers by creating meaningful experiences. So, accepting this new stage in my life, I began to embrace what I have and let it be," she adds.
"For many years, I’ve performed in hospitals, hospices, women’s prison, senior facilities, schools, and the joy of singing with young children. Children’s responses are immediate, unfiltered, and so much fun. I’ve loved writing songs for kids, and I will continue to do so. And, I will be working to bring more attention and awareness to Music Therapy," McGovern says, concluding: "We are all patients and care givers at some time in our lives. I have experienced how music and the arts free our spirits and opens our hearts to our common humanity. I hope you will continue to join me on these next endeavours."

Ex-METALLICA guitarist and current MEGADETH frontman Dave Mustaine joined his former bandmates on stage this past Saturday night (December 10) for the fourth and final intimate show at the Fillmore in San Francisco as part of METALLICA‘s week-long celebration of its 30th anniversary as a band for fan club members only.
When asked by Music Radar if it “felt nice to have mended all fences with” METALLICA, Mustaine said, “You know, there’s still going to be some dumb fucker who says to me, ‘So, do you guys get along?’ [laughs] I just know it. The world is full of idiots, and I seem to run into a lot of them. It does feel good, though.
“It was very cathartic to go up there last weekend. I was pretty unsure of what was going to happen. I wasn’t nervous; I just didn’t know what to expect. Those guys are a lot different from MEGADETH. We like to know what songs we’re going to do. They play pretty loose from the hip — which is cool.
“I was trying to figure out, ‘Do I learn the demo versions of the [METALLICA] songs or the ‘Kill ‘Em All’ versions of the songs?’ Well, I found out it was the ‘Kill ‘Em All’ versions. OK, ‘Do I learn my solos from the demos, or Kirk‘s [Hammett] solos? What solos should I play?’ Then, when I got there, Kirk said, ‘You know, why don’t you play all the solos?’ And I was like, ‘Oooh!’ [laughs] I had to quickly go through my bag of tricks. In the end, I got up on stage, and everything came together. I was making it much too difficult for myself.
“It was fun, I had a good time, everybody smiled a lot. Gave out a bunch of high-five knuckles and hugs. Lars [Ulrich, METALLICA drummer] kissed me a couple of times…[laughs]
“It’s neat that people are able to see what this whole thing is about.
“The media made this so ugly for so long.
“We all still really care about each other.
“Everything has come full circle. It’s 30 years later, and here we are. It’s really weird, the whole mythology to this.”
Mustaine, who was one of the original members of METALLICA, was fired from the band by drummer Lars Ulrich in 1983. He was replaced by Kirk Hammett and went on to form MEGADETH and achieve worldwide success on his own.
In an interview with Revolver magazine conducted earlier this year, Mustaine was asked what he remembers about writing music with METALLICA while he was in the group. “I had always called us, as a group, the ‘Four Horsemen,'” he said. “Before I was in METALLICA, I really loved this band called MONTROSE, and their guitarist was Ronnie Montrose. He went on to form a band called GAMMA. One of their records [1980’s ‘Gamma 2’] had a shark fin cutting through the grass, which I thought was so awesome. Anyway, he had a song on there called ‘Four Horsemen’ that I did with my band PANIC, which I was with before METALLICA. So when I joined METALLICA, I had the song ‘Mechanix’, which I wrote, and ‘Four Horsemen’ was a suggestion of mine to do ’cause we were doing cover songs. So that had planted the seed with James [Hetfield, METALLICA frontman]. And one day when we were coming to rehearsal, Lars had just said something about slowing down my song, ‘Mechanix’. I had just gotten to the studio with Cliff [Burton, METALLICA bassist], and we had been listening to LYNYRD SKYNYRD, and I was being a jerk, so I played ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ instead of ‘Mechanix’, and that’s basically the middle part of what would become METALLICA’s ‘The Four Horsemen’.”
Regarding what his favorite METALLICA song is, Mustaine said, “I had to do a lot of coming to terms with myself in order to listen to METALLICA. Before, whenever I heard them, it triggered me in my mind to get up on my soapbox and spit out complaints of what had happened to me. And then once I finally realized, ‘Dave, you’re lucky, you’re blessed, you’re in a great band, you’re in another great band.’ I finally just said, ‘You’re missing it.’
“And I remember hearing this song when I was talking to Lars once and telling him this is my favorite song off the ‘Black Record.’ And he goes, ‘Really? Fuck, man.’ It was ‘The Unforgiven’. I liked it because I thought this was really the first time I’ve ever really heard James [Hetfield] sing. He had sung before, and he was a great singer. But that was the first time I ever heard him really, really sing.”

I think I have to sheepishly admit that I’m becoming the Suzy-Homemaker-kind-of-mom that I never thought I would or could possibly be. I guess that’s what I get for quitting my job(s) for a year and throwing myself into a foreign culture. I want to spend most of my time in the kitchen. Or reading British foodie magazines. Or watching foodie shows on telly.
In my new role as Martha-Stewart-wannabe, I decided to make meals that were Halloween-themed during our week in Yorkshire. Cute, right? I know. I thought it might be enticing for the often-times-very-picky children to have some “fun food”. (It worked — they ate!)
I was very clever, you see, and had a grocery delivery scheduled for the night we arrived in our self-catering cottage. (How cool and convenient is that?!). I shopped online, planned my menus, and had everything taken care of before we left. We didn’t have to do a big shopping run at the local supermarket, and we didn’t have to bring much of anything with us (a muffin pan, a baking sheet, and some spices and baking powder). We had all of our food needs for the week conveniently delivered to our door on the night we arrived! And even though we had to order larger quantities of some things than we actually needed for a week, we ended up spending far, far less on food than we would have if we had eaten out for our meals while we were here.
I know the suspense is killing you , so here’s what I made during our Yorkshire Halloween Extravaganza:

Ullswater – Our Lakes series
Ullswater – Our Lakes series – The second largest lake in the Lake District is described by its own visitor centre as the most beautiful.
They would say that of course, but anyone who stands on Ullswater’s shores would be hard-pressed to dispute the claim. Whether the beauty of the surroundings played any part or not, William Wordsworth’s famous Daffodil poem was inspired by flowers on the lakes shore.
Ullswater is a typical Lake District narrow ribbon shape formed after the last ice age by three glaciers carving through the landscape, scooping out the valley floor with meltwater filling the void. The surrounding mountains give it an extenuated Z shape, which may also give rise to the lake’s name.
The origin of place names in Cumbria is always contentious and often uncertain, Ullswater is no exception. Some suggest that the lake’s elbow shape may give rise to the name, ‘Ulfr’ is the Old Norse noun meaning ‘wolf’ and its distinctive dog-leg bend may be the reason. However, others claim it comes from the name of a Nordic chief ‘Ulf’ who ruled over the area, although there was also a Saxon Lord of Greystoke called ‘Ulphus’ whose land bordered the lake.
It may have been named Ulf’s Water in honour of either, or it may even be named after the Norse god Ullr. Chances are we’ll never know for sure but Hodgson Hill, an earthwork on the northeast shoreline, is thought to be the remains of a Viking fortified settlement.
At 250 feet deep, it’s the third deepest English lake and it’s nine-mile length traditionally formed the border between the historic counties of Cumberland and Westmorland. The lake has been a tourist destination since the mid-18th century and by the 1890s, Ullswater was a fashionable holiday destination for the British aristocracy due to its favourable sailing conditions and proximity to fell shooting estates.
Ullswater still draws huge numbers of holidaymakers and the Steamers are a must-do for anyone visiting the area. Originally, they were working boats from the 1850s moving mail, workers and goods to and from the Greenside Mine at Glenridding. They now offer trips around the lake calling at Pooley Bridge, Glenridding, Howtown and Aira Force.
The Steamers are a wonderfully sedate way of taking in the lake but Ullswater has seen its share of thrills too when Donald Campbell set the world water speed record on Ullswater on 23 July 1955. He achieved his first world speed record piloting the jet-propelled hydroplane “Bluebird K7” to a speed of 202.32 mph. Ullswater was also used to test mini-submarines, naval craft and flying boats during World War Two.
The Steamers are also a jumping-off point for some of the finest walking in the Lake District and people often catch one from Glenridding to Howtown, returning on foot along the shore to complete a lovely and scenic low-level walk. Those looking to head up the fells are in for a treat too and Glenridding is a popular starting point for walkers and going up Helvellyn, England’s third-highest mountain, in a walk that features the dramatic Striding and Swirral Edges.
The waterfall of Aira Force is a favourite amongst visitors and Hallin Fell, Gowbarrow Fell, Place Fell, Arthur’s Pike and Little Mell Fell all provide wonderful walking and beautiful views. The 20-mile walking route, the Ullswater Way, was officially opened in 2016 and uses existing Public Rights of Way and quiet roads which circumnavigate Ullswater and access local attractions.
Heading south beyond Ullswater brings travellers through Patterdale, past the charming Brothers Water and then up over the highest mountain pass in the Lake District, Kirkstone Pass, before dropping down to Windermere.

Articles filed under Erosion
The reality is that, as Britain flaunts its environmental credentials by speckling its coastlines and unspoiled moors and mountains with thousands of wind turbines, it is contributing to a vast man-made lake of poison in northern China. This is the deadly and sinister side of the massively profitable rare-earths industry that the ‘green' companies profiting from the demand for wind turbines would prefer you knew nothing about.
The state officials advised the companies Aug. 3 to stop grading and excavating until the controls were in place, and both agreed to do so. ...Follow-up inspections on Aug. 9 and 17 found the companies had not completed all the erosion controls.
The Environment Court decision on the Project Hayes wind farm had set a new test for any major project, one that was unprecedented, impractical and perverse, Meridian Energy counsel Hugh Rennie told the appeal hearing in the High Court at Dunedin yesterday. That decision required applicants to provide an assessment, including a cost-benefit analysis, of any alternative proposals.
A woman whose farm was damaged by a massive bogslide which occurred during the construction of the Republic's largest wind farm has secured €341,830 damages at the High Court. Mr Justice Eamon de Valera made the award yesterday to Mary Curley, whose family have farmed 16 acres at Derrybrien, Gort, Co Galway, for three generations.
A proposed wind farm on a Co Leitrim mountain comprising mainly blanket bog, has been turned down by an Bord Pleanála because of the risk of "slope instability" and surface pollution. The board pointed out that the proposed site for the eight-turbine development on Dough mountain, five kilometres from Manorhamilton, was in a Natural Heritage Area.
The construction of industrial-scale wind turbines on forested mountain ridges will result in cumulative negative impacts to our regional water resources. The forested mountain ridges are the areas which receive the greatest amounts of precipitation and therefore serve as the most important areas for groundwater recharge and for maintenance of aquatic habitats in the headwaters of streams that are at the base of the aquatic food chain.
Maryland's first industrial wind farm has gotten off to a rough start, with construction temporarily halted after environmental regulators discovered mud washing from the remote Garrett County mountaintop site into a tributary of one of the state's wild and scenic rivers. Constellation Energy has scrambled to put in stronger erosion controls as it erects more than two dozen 400-foot-tall turbines along an eight-mile stretch of Backbone Mountain.
Construction on Western Maryland's first wind farm could resume within days, despite some residents' protests, pending a green light from the Garrett Soil Conservation District and the Maryland Department of the Environment. ...MDE spokeswoman Dawn Stoltzfus said construction was halted because of "sediment-laden water" flowing from the site.
A wind turbine company is being sued by a farming community in Kerry one year after a bog slide - which has still not been cleared - blocked access to their land. Residents of Lyrecrompane in the Stack mountains have insisted that the wind farm - currently being developed by Tralee-based Tra Investments - is to blame for last August's bog slide.
Despite its relatively small land mass, Scotland plays an important role in the UK in storing carbon on our land. We host 55 per cent of the UK's terrestrial carbon store. The richest stores are our peat lands, poorly-drained soils ...However, the landscapes that best accumulate carbon - our wild and windy moorlands - also offer the best sites for energy generation from wind power: Scotland has 25 per cent of Europe's wind energy source, according to the Scottish Government.
Photographs taken at Meridian's West Wind project above the Makara coastline show how sediment has been overflowing from the construction site. The photos were taken by marine environmentalist Jim Mikoz, who wrote an article in the NZ Fishing Coast to Coast magazine with the headline: The dirt behind wind turbines.. your fishing is at serious risk. In response to the article, Meridian wrote a letter to the editor stating that there would be no mud runoff into the sea from its construction site.
Scientific consultant Brian Patrick, of Alexandra, gave evidence on the proposal as a witness for appellant Ewan Carr. His evidence included planned mitigation measures and whether they were appropriate. During cross-examination, Mr Patrick said Meridian's plan to store spoil, including soil taken from the site during construction, in various disposal sites on the proposed 92sq km property would unnecessarily threaten indigenous flora and fauna of the Lammermoor Range.
A group of town residents and state environmentalists has lost a legal challenge against the Hoosac Wind Project, a 30-megawatt turbine venture planned for Bakke Mountain in Florida and Crum Hill in Monroe. Their case - which hinged on permitting - attempted to reverse the state Department of Environmental Protection's June 2007 decision to grant a wetlands permit for the estimated $45 million project. Eleanor Tillinghast, president of Green Berkshires, a plaintiff in the case, said an appeal is being considered.
Plum Creek owns the property west of Greenville, and its logging contractor was clearing land for TransCanada, the developer of a wind farm. The Land Use Regulation Commission issued a notice of warning to TransCanada based on the erosion. A Maine environmental group called for the state to fine Plum Creek and a logging contractor for cutting trees too aggressively. The Natural Resources Council of Maine released photos of the erosion, which it said was effectively a 900-foot-long mudslide, along with internal communications that it says show Plum Creek's logging contractor was warned to stop working in the area until after the ground froze.
Based on an evaluation of internal documents from Maine’s Land Use Regulation Commission (LURC), the Natural Resources Council of Maine (NRCM) concludes that Plum Creek and one of its logging contractors, Theriault Tree Harvesting (TTH), last fall violated Maine regulations designed to protect water quality and Maine forests from poor timber practices. Specifically, in late October 2008 these companies caused massive erosion problems in Kibby Township, Franklin County, including a mud slide approximately 900 feet long. Plum Creek and its contractor ignored communications calling on them to stop work until proper erosion control measures could be implemented (1). Plum Creek and TTH also declined to even show up for an after the fact site inspection meeting with LURC officials to view the damage to the site(2).
This time the focus is Kibby Mountain in western Maine where Transcanada is in the process of developing a wind power project, and where related logging operations by Plum Creek and a sub-contractor have been linked to serious land use violations. Pictures taken at the site by an independent engineering firm and provided to the Land Use Regulation Commission in late October show a logging road so damaged by rain, logging activity and erosion that it created a mudslide described as nearly 900 feet long.
Planned erosion and sediment spill mitigation for the proposed $2 billion Project Hayes wind farm was questioned during an Environment Court appeal hearing for the development yesterday. Technical director Graham Levy, of Christchurch, gave evidence as a witness called by the Otago Regional Council. ...When cross-examined by Upland Landscape Protection Society counsel Ewan Carr, Mr Levy admitted he did not have experience of earthworks and potential mitigation of such works at a site of the Project Hayes development's elevation.
Developers who consistently abuse the planning system could be banned from building in Ireland, under legislation being drafted by the minister for the environment. ...The ban on planning retention for developments requiring an EIA was prompted by a judgment by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) last July. ...The judgment related to a wind farm at Derrybrien, Co Galway, where the construction of a service road caused a landslide on a blanket bog.
With two pipes beneath a road clogged in Noxen, Supervisor Carl Shook is concerned about runoff from a proposed wind farm in Wyoming County. "There is going to be a lot of water running off the mountain," Shook said. Shook was one of about 30 people last Wednesday who attended a public hearing ...The state Department of Environmental Protection held the hearing to receive public comment as it reviews an application from BP for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit.
The EU Environment Commission is to investigate a windfarm development in the Stacks mountains which was at the centre of concerns after a bog slide during heaving rainfall in August. ...Local residents in the Stacks mountains wrote to environment commissioner Stavros Dimas in October to say they were deeply concerned with the manner in which the windfarm at Ballincollig Hill, near Tralee, was being constructed on sensitive bog and to ask that work - which resumed recently - be stopped. The residents said "large tracts of beautiful boglands and rivers" had being damaged in the slide and the nest of a hen harrier, hares and other wildlife disturbed.

Small in size but big in character, the proud nation of Estonia manages to pack historical cities, swathes of charming countryside, a picturesque coastline, and rugged islands into a relatively small amount of space. Thanks to its compactness, visitors can easily travel between the many tourist attractions the country has to offer. Although just a stone's throw away from Finland, Latvia, and Russia, Estonia boasts its own distinct culture, evident in the country's cuisine, music, and traditions.
Things to know before visit Estonia
Estonia has quite a moderate climate but it differs between the coastal region and the inland. Summers are between May and August with July being the hottest month. The temperatures can rise up to 30° Celcius. In the winters temperatures can go down to almost -5°C with heavy snowfall and snowstorms. Winters start in October and end by March.
A popular tourist destination, Tallin, is the hub of architecture. It is a picturesque town with a historic air to it. It has cobblestone streets and beautiful 15th century buildings. The heart of the town is called Toompea, which is basically a hill where all the historically acclaimed monuments lie. From atop this hill one can see the entire Old city. Some must visit places here are the the 14th century Town Hall, the grand 19th century Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and Viru Street with shops and cafes.
This park is one of the most visited park’s in Estonia and the best part is that it is only an hour’s drive from the capital- making for an ideal day trip. Viru Raba, or Viru Bog is a great place to start your adventure. In the midst of the park lies Sagadi Village- a place to go around the Sagadi Manor and explore the place’s history and culture.
A wonderful landscape, Saaremaa Island is a great place to check out in Estonia. It has breezy meadows, gorgeous coastal region, sprawling forests, and towering windmills- all making for beautiful scenery. Nature lovers will get lost in the orchid-peppered reaches of Loode, walking between Kaali meteorite craters, hot springs of Puhatu and the gorgeous Bear lake. You must also explore the culture of the local Saaremaa folk- an interesting tribe with unique traditions.
This ancient town boasts of habitation dating back to more than three millennia. It offers a peak into the life before Tallinn’s great medieval bulwarks came into being. It has a unique collection of cult stones, cup-marked carvings, ancient religious statues and sacred sites steeped in pre-Christian traditions. A must see here is the legendary Witch’s Well and the unique phenomena which takes place when the subterranean channels of the area’s system overflow from the well into the nearby farmlands- A mystical sight!

A St. Charles man charged with beating and shooting at his wife after an argument Tuesday evening in the west suburb has been ordered held on a $500,000 bond.
Scott J. Turyna, 65, is charged with one felony count of attempted murder, two felony counts of aggravated discharge of a firearm, one felony count of aggravated domestic battery and a misdemeanor count of interfering with the reporting of domestic violence, according to a statement from St. Charles police.
Turyna was arguing with his wife about financial matters at their home in the 400 block of Hunt Drive at 6:26 p.m., police said. During the argument, he threatened to kill her and “aggressively” moved toward her.
When she picked up the phone to call police, Turyna knocked it out of her hands, pushed her onto the floor, sat on her chest and started punching her, police said. He then let her up and walked toward a cabinet where she knew a handgun was stored.
His wife ran out of the home through the garage and crawled under the garage door as it was opening, police said. A man and woman who were walking by saw her roll out of the garage with “obvious injuries” and helped her up.
As they helped her walk away from the house, Turyna came outside and tried to tell them his wife had fallen down, according to police. As the woman continued walking away with his wife, Turyna followed them and started shooting in their direction with a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson five-shot revolver.
The man then tackled Turyna, took the gun away from him and tossed it away, police said. He held Turyna until police arrived.
Officers recovered the gun, which had five spent shell casings inside, police said. One bullet had gone through the siding of a nearby home in the 500 block of Steeplechase Road, but no one was struck by gunfire.
The victim was taken to Delnor Community Hospital in Geneva with “extensive injuries,” police said.
After executing a search warrant on Turyna’s home, investigators recovered 26 firearms and about 3,000 rounds of ammunition, police said. Turyna had a valid FOID card.
Police said the department did not have a history of domestic-related calls at the home before this incident.
Turyna was arrested Wednesday and is being held at the Kane County Jail, police said.
During a bond hearing Thursday, he was ordered held on a $500,000 bond, according to the Kane County sheriff’s office.

'Win Win' review: Sweet comedy is hard to pin down
Writer-director Thomas McCarthy makes movies about accidental families, misfits thrown together (at a house, a pied-a-terre, a train station) who form unanticipated and unconventional bonds of friendship.
"Win Win" marks his third film with cinematographer Oliver Bokelberg (after "The Station Agent" and "The Visitor"), and all of them have a visual forthrightness that highlights meaning and emotion without a trace of gratuitous flash. The effect is an endearing and plainspoken clarity that stops just short of naturalism; the people in his movies don't seem real, exactly, but we end up caring about them as though they were.
Take Kyle (Alex Shaffer), the 16-year-old at the heart of "Win Win." He's a tough customer, a bleached Ohio punk with a gift for wrestling who shows up on his estranged grandfather's doorstep in New Providence, N.J. Grandpa Leo (Burt Young) isn't there, having been plopped in a nursing home by Mike (Paul Giamatti), a struggling lawyer who obtained Leo's guardianship for the $1,500 per month he gets in compensation.
But Mike isn't an entirely bad guy - no one is, in McCarthyland. He's a flawed guy, which means he knows full well what's required of him. And when he learns that Kyle's mother (Melanie Lynskey) is negligent, and drug addicted, and now in rehab, he knows he ought to take the boy in. Mike also coaches a pathetically bad wrestling squad, and Kyle's arrival lends a welcome boost to the team's prospects.
"Win Win" isn't a straight-up sports movie, though it does offer a few vivid scenes of triumph and loss on the mat. It doesn't obey the conventional rhythms of the genre. Nor does it obey every convention of the standard indie comedy - or its acid-tongued relative, the seriocomic portrait of a suburban dad in crisis. It's too sweet for that, too modest in its narrative quirk, balancing the funny and the painful with a few bursts of violence and the overall warmth of decent people trying to figure out what's best.
Giamatti excels as the weak-kneed Mike, nicely working his gift for inner conflict and outer bumbling. As his wife, Amy Ryan is a ballast of unflinching moral certitude. Playing assistant coaches/sidekicks are the angular Jeffrey Tambor and the antsy Bobby Cannavale, who provides some comic relief - maybe too much - as a ubiquitous third wheel.
But the real story is Kyle's, and the real star is Shaffer, a dark-eyed natural whose adenoidal monotone reveals a hard edge of wariness cut with hope. This is a kid who's been betrayed by adults, yet he's the one who treats the senile Leo with love and respect, buying him Cocoa Puffs, campaigning to move him back home. He understands the bonds of family best of all.

A new chapter is opening for Nordea Invest this week. The new fund Nordea Invest North America Enhanced, which tracks the MSCI North America, is going on sale, according to Finans.
The so-called enhanced fund is an improved version of the normal index fund, allowing for more active choices than a passive fund, and its annual costs, totaling 0.67 percent, are half those of an active fund.
"We believe that we can give something extra to our customers through active investment, but the US market is notoriously difficult, so the solution could be a product that is more similar to the cheaper passive funds. And we expect to be able to deliver returns slightly over our benchmark," says Eric Pedersen, CEO of Nordea Invest, to Finans.
He says that the fund will be screened for cluster bombs, nuclear weapons, coal, and land mines, and that it will also be possible to avoid "bad" or very expensive equities.

Fitness Blogger Strikes Back Against Fat Shaming
Cassey Ho has millions of followers on her Blogilates fitness channel and website, but the exercise instructor also knows what it’s like to be fat-shamed, critiqued and criticized for her body.
In a recent video called “The Perfect Body,” Ho strikes back against body-image bashing, depicting herself in a fictitious scenario: She returns from a workout and looks at herself in the mirror.
She then goes on to check her phone and read uplifting messages from her fans. Yet the messages quickly become negative, telling her things like,”Trainer?…really? tone up the belly fat and love handles.”
Ho then proceeds to undress and perform a ritual many women (and men) know all too well: She begins pinching at areas of fat, frowning at her reflection and sizing up her thighs with a look of concern.
Photoshop to the rescue
Ho then grabs an imaginary tool and starts “fixing” the imperfections, thinning out her legs, enlarging her breasts and flattening her stomach.
After the transformation, Ho admires her new body but then decides to abandon the changes and return to her normal self. The video ends with a provocative question: “What would you change?”
The message Ho was trying to make with the video was validated when she posted an edited image of herself on Facebook with the caption, “Finally got my perfect body,” and a link to the video.
Many fans reacted to the photo negatively, saying that she looked “anorexic” or that she still looked “too fat.”
“Since I’ve started YouTube, I’ve definitely been attacked here and there,” Ho wrote. “Within the past few months it’s gotten really negative online. Not just comments, but people making full on videos trash talking my body and my techniques as a certified fitness instructor.”
Ho encouraged readers to share the video to battle body image bashing and “outrageous negativity” when it comes to criticizing our own or other people’s bodies.
