BASKETBALL SPOTLIGHT NEWS: Spotlight Alum Karl Anthony Towns Wins NBA Rookie Of The Year!
Spotlight Alum Karl Anthony Towns Wins NBA Rookie Of The Year!
Basketball Spotlight Alum Karl Anthony Towns was a unanimous choice for NBA Rookie of the Year. Towns competed in Basketball Spotlight with Team NJABC and finished his middle school career by dominating the J.E.M. All Star Classic. Towns went on to have a stellar high school career at St. Joseph's Metuchen before heading off for one year at the University of Kentucky.
Last summer Towns was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 1st overall pick. It didn't take Towns very long to make an impact. He had 28 points and 14 rebounds in the second game of the season, a victory over Denver, and though many rookies hit a wall in the middle of the long, grueling NBA regular season, Towns got better as the season went on. He averaged 21.3 points on 55 percent shooting and 11.7 rebounds in the final 31 games of the season.
Basketball Spotlight would like to congratulate Towns on his success and wish him more in the future.


This action-packed episode takes a look at some of the hairiest and scariest moments from The Crocodile Hunter's private video library and includes classic scenes from the archives of program out-takes. Steve is bitten on the face by an angry python, bitten on the foot by a vengeful crocodile, and has close calls with lunging crocodiles along with many other hair-raising adventures.
In the remote volcanic island region of the Indonesian archipelago, Steve goes in search of the world's largest and most dangerous land lizard, the Komodo dragon. These fearsome creatures are capable of inflicting mortal wounds with just one bite. This adventure is one of the few times we see people so closely interacting with these last remaining ancient dinosaurs.

The aim of this study was to optimize of a method for determining of compounds which are responsible for the earthy/musty odour in surface water. Among taste and odour contaminants the following compounds are mentioned: (+/-)-geosmin, 2-methylisoborneol, 2,4,6-trichoroanisole, 2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine and 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine.
Some experiments were performed to examine the extraction conditions such as fiber exposure time, temperature of extraction and salt addition. Various SPME fibers such as PDMS, CAR/PDMS and PDMS/DVB coatings were used for the isolation of tested compounds from water samples. As tested, compounds 2-methylisoborneol, 2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine and 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine were used.
After SPME optimization, real surface water samples were examined using the SPME-GC/MS method. Based on preliminary experiments the qualitative and quantitative analyses for the determination of (+/-)-geosmin, 2-methylisoborneol and 2,4,6-trichloroanisole were performed. The regression coefficients for calibration curves for examined compounds are R2≥0.990. This shows that the used method is linear in the examined concentration range (from 20.32 to 168.00 ng/L). one of the reasons for the formation of taste and odour contaminants can be surface water pollution. The changes of water conditions such as temperature, pH and conductivity were examined. And, for the test of periodical changes of geosmin concentration in surface water samples, the experiments were performed in various seasons.

OK...I Have ADHD, But Does Mom Have It Too?
Carol E. Watkins, M.D.
What is it like to have a parent with AD/HD? In many cases, AD/HD is inherited, so if you have it, some other family members might have it too.
Sometimes, when a son or daughter is diagnosed, the parents start remembering the problems they had when they were growing up. They may realize that they are a lot like you! What is it like to have a parent with AD/HD? I asked one of my adolescent consultants. He said that there are good and bad things about having a parent with AD/HD.
Sometimes, his mother blows up and yells. Then, it can take a while before she cools down and apologizes. Other times it is fun and exciting because she has a lot of energy and thinks up exciting things to do on weekends. It's nice to have one ADD parent and one "normal" parent. His dad tells her when she gets too mad and vetoes some of her more outrageous ideas. He can go to his mother for some things and his father for others.

Trump To NKorea: Let's Make A Deal!
By jennifer | on November 8, 2017 |
Trump Bucks Usual Aggression, Opens The Door To Negotiations With North Korea
"We will offer a path to a much better future," Trump said before South Korea's National Assembly.
President Donald Trump took a far more measured tone during his address to South Korea's National Assembly on Wednesday, touting the option of diplomacy with North Korea while delivering a strong message to the country's leader that it must end its nuclear weapons program.
Trump, speaking in Seoul as part of his 12-day tour of Asia, delivered a direct and at times heavy-handed message to Kim Jong Un, telling the North Korean leader: "Do not underestimate us. Do not try us."
However the president echoed calls from a day earlier when, speaking at a news conference with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, he urged Pyongyang to "come to the table and make a deal."
"I also come here to deliver a message directly to the leader: The weapons you are acquiring are not making you safer. They are putting your regime in grave danger," Trump told the National Assembly. "Every step you take down this dark path increases the peril you face. North Korea is not the paradise your grandfather envisioned. It is a hell that no person deserves.
"We will offer a path to a much better future. It begins with an end to the aggression of your regime, a stop to your development of ballistic missiles and complete verifiable and total denuclearization."
North Korea has so far refused offers of diplomacy and said it would not put its nuclear weapons ― or its ballistic missiles capable of reaching the United States ― on the bargaining table.
The speech stands in contrast to Trump's past remarks, in which the president has threatened or demeaned Kim on Twitter. In September, he vowed to "totally destroy North Korea" during his first address to the United Nations and called Kim a "rocket man … on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime."
Other Trump administration officials, including Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, have said diplomacy would remain on the table "until the first bomb drops."
Trump's speech Wednesday, which included a sweeping history of the conflict on the Korean peninsula, included some overt hits at the North, including his assertion that the region "is a country ruled by a cult." He pointed to human rights abuses by Pyongyang against its own people and acts of aggression including the recent death of American student Otto Warmbier, who Trump said was "tortured" to death.

Freedom To Glide do have a schedule for the new studio album which is reliant on some factors... Anyway I promise to give you more details as they happen. Pretty SOON!

Freedom To Glide will be promoting the new album from different angles. That should include a teaser for some weeks towards official release date, as well as a full video clip for the title track.
May-13-2016, 16:02 #64
Freedom To Glide have announced they'll release their album 'Fall' on July 1. The record is the second instalment of their war and conflict themed trilogy. It follows their 2013 release, 'Rain'. While 'Rain' embodies "the realisation of, or an awakening to, the effects of war", the Midlands duo say 'Fall' has a more reflective, 'coming to terms' feel to it.
Track-list is as follows:
1. Fall
2. Silent Code
3. Names In The Stone
4. Toll
5. Playing God
6. Exit Wound
7. Enigma
8. The Middle Game
9. Trough Of War
10. Solace
11. Sleep Under The Flag
12. Another Same
13. October.
The new album can be pre-ordered via Freedom To Glide's Bandcamp from May 20.

A new review.
http://powerofprog.com/profiles/blog...lbum-review-57
I must admit to having been terribly excited when faced with the prospect of reviewing the new F2g album. After thought-provoking listening to 'Fall', there's a humble resume.
Wonderful FREEDOM TO GLIDE have come up with a second full-length release that neatly follows on from the critically-acclaimed CD 'Rain'. Totaling over 61 minutes of material, new record is comprised of 13 songs with a plethora of suggestive effects and soundscapes. It gives a truly kaleidoscopic gamut of the F2g's ethos to showcase the ideal combination between authentic Floyd-ism and intelligent rock music, resulting in holistic approach. From the evidence of 'Fall', Pete Riley and Andy Nixon continue to use 'anti-war concept' as the lyrical backbone, and I'm of admiration for this kind of enormous undertaking. The British duo makes people believe that progressive genre could actually give something special! Very few modern groups have managed to do such a feat. OK, let's order... The title track 'Fall' begins with a restrained piano and calm vocal, creating a vibe of dramatic tension. It serves like a good introduction to the enthralling album. Next up, 'Silent Code'. F2g lead us in their vision of a WWII soldier who's returning home from captivity. This composition is dedicated to Andy's grandfather. Musical entourage features a transparent beauty of guitar playing whilst the polished keyboards glide on the background. By surprise, the outro brings a memorabilia of 'High Hopes' legacy. Retaining the similar pace, 'Names In The Stone' follows then. Arguably, things get soaring on the fourth tune 'Toll', when awesome guitar licks take the center stage. Coupled with the piano flourishes, graceful harmonies provide an extra dimension for the final section. The next chapter 'Playing God' has the unobtrusive sonic palette. A much more sophisticated piece, 'Exit Wound' comes to incorporate the different characteristics. This serving has experimental nature, eclectic and innovative. The text is about post traumatic stress disorder in the present days... Although there are plenty of excellent themes and melodies on entire album, the composition that stands out for me is superlative 'Enigma' which gradually evolves from a gentle keyboard-line accompanied by heartfelt singing to the captivating musical attraction. Andy Nixon decorates this venture with a mind-blowing guitar performance - it would make even David Gilmour jealous. Successive 'The Middle Game' holds the interest. Compared to what we have heard thus far, 'Trough of War' is something peculiar. It bursts out in livelier tempo. And I think of The Beatles once in a while. Textually, the weapon dealers are accused here. Intended to throw off the intensity of tempo, amazing 'Solace' has a slow pitch which in turn gives way to elegy, 'Sleep Under The Flag'. This time, Pete Riley comes on proscenium, narrating the story about the repatriation of a dead soldier. Again, the keyboard figures are simply impeccable. Appropriated to make the transitions of mood and pace, 'Another Same" resembles a couple of smash-hits together ('More Than Words' by Extreme and 'Wild World' from Mr.Big). But maybe it's just the splash of surrealism in my mind?.. At the core of final track 'October' is a tight mixture of catchy vocals, melodic guitar work, the sustained keyboard chords and driving rhythm section. In proper place, the melodic route transforms to soft pattern, before gradually subsiding and fades away. Now you feel as though you have spent the past hour traveling on a time machine. All in all, immersive, remarkable CD 'Fall' is a high contender for ALBUM OF THE YEAR! ..

Rumors on the Toyota Tundra The Japanese Toyota Motor Company is generally recognized for its advancement. Keeping this in mind the new 2018 Toyota Tundra energy will be properly reshaped vehicle. This 2018 Tundra will be built with the new diesel powered product train that will also be mated with the latest transmission. More recent, less surface and interior will get some updates as well as freight space that will be reshaped. Continue with us to learn more.
The 2018 Toyota Tundra pickup designed to be used is more than just an ordinary pick-up. From the front, you can recognize a separate modification presented with this new Toyota Tundra. Via the front-side view, this automobile will take advantage with the headlights reasonably not long described. At that time, it might possess the latest LEDs that can be absolutely good to light your way. With the other with the ease of a few hues, you will love every look on this car. It could also have another section back, grid, plus the other physical contour. Inside the box, the 2018 Toyota Tundra will concoct new mixed media options that may seem exceptional and supported by some new interactive multimedia, such as illustrators, presenters, music participants, Other network emissions. In addition, the availability of very good safety elements will also gain some amazing sides for your new automobile without a doubt. Airbag and excellent split frame is a fair step.
It seems that for the future generation of the Tundra and specifically for the 2018 Toyota Tundra the Japanese company will work with BMW in order to develop a new powertrain for it. At first, many thought that the truck would receive the 4.5-liter turbo diesel V8 found in the current Land Cruiser, but this engine is old enough and not really the task to offer as much power as its competitors. Instead, the tundra could receive a rather interesting engine choice with a BMW co-developed inline 6 turbo diesel that would be based loosely on their 3-liter engines. However, instead of offering a 3-liter turbocharged diesel in line 6, which would still make a lot of energy, Toyota could offer a larger than the 4-liter version of the same engine with parts manufactured by Toyota. This would probably get a sequential turbocharger system that would allow the diesel enough small to offer nearly 400 horsepower and far more than 700 lb-ft of torque, much more than all current diesel engines on the market.
There are some rumors and speculation about the release date of the 2018 Toyota Tundra. But we could not confirm the exact release date but rumor has it that it will hit the market in the first quarter of 2017. The starting MSRP for Toyota Tundra Diesel 2018 will be about $ 29,450 for Tundra SR model and for Tundra Limited, and Tundra Platinum, it will be $ 38,170 for Limited and $ 46,030 for the Platinum.

Clash of clans in the Ukrainian Navy: sailors from Crimea are recorded in the "Russian spies"
23 2020 June
In the week, "valiant" SBU employees exposed another "Russian spy". He was appointed captain of the second rank of the Ukrainian Navy Anatoly Lyulko.
This was reported by the Ukrainian edition of Strana.ua.
Actually, from the Ukrainian naval officers who arrived from Crimea in 2014, Lyulko is far from the only "spy". They are all suspected of espionage and other sins. But how, after all, they still have housing in Crimea, friends, relatives. And some even have wives and children. And if you believe the source of the Ukrainian publication, working in the SBU, a detailed dossier has been opened for each of these naval officers.
Although the option is not ruled out that the clan's struggle for a "place in the sun" plays a role here, because the Ukrainian navy is small, and a career needs to be done somehow. And if the Crimeans were a priori recorded as suspicious, then competitors from the "Odessa" clan could well take advantage of this and remove the "newcomers" from the Crimea from the road.
The most interesting thing is that the "spy" Lyulko was not only free, but also continued to carry out his duties for some time on his Alexander Okhrimenko emergency rescue vessel. This "vessel" only in 2019 transferred to the navy. And in a past life, it was called "Svetlomor-4" and was on the balance of the Black Sea Shipping Company. The device of this "miracle of technology" and the tasks it performs can hardly be called secret. It was built back in 1987, and has since undergone several major repairs.
This year, in addition to Lyulko, the captain of the first rank Goncharenko, also a native of the Crimea, was also charged with espionage. Now both of them are at large, however, they were temporarily removed from their posts and from access to state secrets. At the same time, they were not dismissed from service, so that officers, as before, receive their salary.
This suggests that the SBU has no evidence against them. But this can be a signal for all Ukrainian naval officers who served in the Crimea in 2014 and did not want to transfer to the Russian Navy. They are clearly hinted that if they do not quit on their own, making room for the young, they will also be made "Russian spies."

What kind of tradition went into - articles must be double-checked necessarily.
This is not good, I want the other way around, with the help of others to check
As for cap2 Lyulko, the following is known.
1. Secretly went to the Crimea, without officially reporting the trip, as it should be.
2 issued a Russian passport, which was safely seized from him during his arrest.
3 planned to quit. From the service.
But he collected information just like that, or it's not easy to prove for transmission, it's true
carstorm 11 23 June 2020 16: 57
So what's wrong? Is there a schionage? Not proven. So the prosecution on this topic is unfounded. Without iron evidence, let me tell you that you are a spy of the Mamba-Yumba tribe and I will inform everyone about this in the media? They will not wash off and careers are over. This is called generally the complete lack of pros in this structure and a bunch of cormorants who give out charges simply because they so wanted. You do not run into our media and take normal people to work there.
It follows from the text of your post that you did not read mine.
On points 123, or something
I can read very well. All the same, you should familiarize yourself with the interpretation of the term espionage. Dismissal, trip and passport. That is all that man has done. Or simply, first prove the fact of espionage and then trumpet the detention.
Prove in court, if you do not know, and draw up the result in the form of a sentence.
When detaining, evidence of guilt is not necessary, justified insight is sufficient.
And there it is. He transferred to foreign citizenship while in the service
Espionage is an action. Which has certain signs. The presence of a passport of a widespread state in Ukraine is not uncommon. Will you close everyone?)

The presence of a passport of a widespread state in Ukraine is not uncommon.
And some have more than one passport.
What, there are examples when an incumbent officer illegally transferred to the citizenship of another country and left to serve anyone without mentioning it?
2 Level Advisor 23 June 2020 17: 45
There was no court yet, so he was not found guilty, it is only suspected .. and if the navy of the Russian Federation had found cap2, who had recently received Ukrainian citizenship, I also would not have patted it on the head ..
By itself. But to us, as it is customary, first all the same the fact of espionage is first revealed. Carry out operational work. Record meetings and the transfer of something. Seize it. Nobody says that this is impossible. It's all about the sequence of actions. Article is tough
Like when
It happens in different ways.
So far he has been removed from service for changing citizenship, this in itself is enough

Tell me, how do you know? Why should we believe your information?
I typed in Google the name and the name of the ship, and Google issued a packet of messages in Ukraine on this topic
After reviewing them, I was convinced that only part of the information was taken into the article above from these messages, including the article referred to in the country, too, it says that he received a Russian passport.
But such subtleties did not get into this article.
As for me, the Russian transition is an important nuance for understanding the situation

Lyulko has a Russian passport - he is a spy. Is logical. But Goncharenko does not have a Russian passport, but he is also a spy. Apparently, this is not a passport.
Goncharenko is a spy only in your article
Nobody accused him of espionage, serves in his place, where he served
Not just mine. Strana.ua Goncharenko also mentioned. It seems like he collected information about the mood in the fleet and about the personnel with the aim of transmitting the FSB. Why not spying? And the fact that he is free - so what? Lyulko, too, no one was arrested, if not mistaken.
not at large, but at the position

And did you collect at all?
Actually, this is infa from the Ukrainian agency "strana.ua"
And if he really was going to quit, then it's clear that he went to where he had at least something ... at least a living space.
He didn't keep a Russian passport with him.
As for the collection of information, this is punishable in itself.
Russian passport he did not keep with himself a great mind.
such an interesting spy, runs with a passport of the Russian Federation, travels to the Crimea "secretly"

The Ukrainian political theater does not need officers, they need killers without shame and conscience, they are already 6 years in a row, they are changing the officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. All this boils down to one last attempt, after which Ukraine as a state will cease to exist. And with her, some surrounding countries ..
tralflot1832 23 June 2020 16: 48
The option is not considered as two pensions? I served in Ukraine, I received a pension from an independent one. I moved to Russia and then I earned or got an citizenship of Russia. None. Unas in Tralflot was full of such cases from Ukrainians. Ukrainians sir, what to expect from them.
He obtained citizenship while on active duty

Oh, how complicated it is!
This discussion resembles from the category of OBS (one woman said).
Condemn? I think low and mean.
Once already gone through this in the Civil War. Who does not remember, then recall. There were officers who went to the Red Army, and there were those who went to the White. How many slops poured on the White Guards?
And after 90 years, they began to sing other songs.
This situation is no different. Time will put everything in its place. And everyone will get their own rating. And we, I believe, have no right to discuss or hate them.
I would look at you all, what choice you would make!

And besides, terrible Russian spies are sitting in the SBU itself))) a week ago in Kuevo they detained an SBU general from the ATC, to call this the Bandera-fascist kublo "Alpha" - the hand does not rise. It must be understood that a general's position was needed by some young and promising colonel.
Mavrikiy 23 June 2020 18: 42
But this can be a signal for all Ukrainian naval officers who served in the Crimea in 2014 and did not want to transfer to the Russian Navy.
There they are dear. The main thing is that our people in the Headquarters do not quarrel, feel sorry for the poor and do not take them to service. (Russian passport will also be issued for work in the specialty)

Last week, "valiant" SBU employees exposed another "Russian spy"
I can understand the SBU here. What normal sailor from Crimea can choose the Ukrainian "fleet" of his own free will when there is an opportunity to serve in the Russian fleet? Or a fool or a spy!
Leading 23 June 2020 23: 32
I have long expected that all these fools would be thrown out of the fleet, when time passed and the frenzy "real patriots did not serve under the heel of the occupier." 6 years is enough time to start cleaning.

Is there anything to collect?
Alexander Barinov 24 June 2020 05: 05
Ukraine no longer exists, there is "something" to them by Mazepa, Petliura, Kaganovich and Bandera with Shukhevych. Are there navy sailors among them? Do not confuse sour with insipid.
Humanly, I am sorry for the sailors remaining to serve in the Ukrainian Navy. But the history of Ukraine is such that for 300 years people have been forced to break their conscience, through the knee. I said that softly ..

The California Guitar Trio and Montréal Guitar Trio converge on an album of intricate interplay and selfless complexity with In A Landscape, Echoes April CD of the Month.
The trip-hop artist UNKLE highlights Echoes this weekend when we talk to him about his trilogy: The Road. We also head to Westeros for Game of Echoes, our imaginary score for Game of Thrones.


I guess now I'm not in there twice a week and there's less Welsh boxers appearing at the o2 nowadays times may be quite tough. I always found 'Micky's Big Catch' at £5.95 (cod, chips, mushy peas, can and a slice) good value for Central London and perhaps he just isn't making enough £££££.
It warrants another visit at some point soon and I will of course keep you updated.
I always found 'Micky's Big Catch' at £5.95 (cod, chips, mushy peas, can and a slice) good value for Central London..
Chicken Cottage in Praed Street (just up the road from Micky's) used to do a 'Mighty Box' meal for a fiver. Chicken burger, chips, 1 piece, beans and a can of Rubicon for a fiver.
Seems like a good deal on the face of it but their 1 out of 5 hygiene rating might have you regretting your purchase later.
I'd expect some doner slices in the box for that kind of outlay in such an establishment.
No wonder Micky's was temporarily closed. They're stocking up ready for Enzo to start his diet.

Tonight, we have a huge 9 game slate with two ESPN game: WAS vs IND & CHI vs PHO. I think you could either go super balanced or a bit stars and scrubs because there is a lot of value on the slate tonight.
My favorite game stacks are WAS vs IND and DEN vs NYK. The Wizards have played 2 OT games in a row and should keep the game close on ESPN. I think Paul George is a must play across the industry with others guys like Jeff Teague, Marcin Gortat and Bradley Beal as possible plays in a good game environment.
His price is super high, but he will be at home playing on ESPN tonight. He's scored at least 50 FDP in 3 out of his last 4 games and recently put up 62+ FDP against the Pacers. Bradley Beal got hurt in that game so John Wall carried the scoring load. While I don't expect another 36 point game from Wall, you have to love his upside tonight. The Pacers are a good defensive team, but Wall seems to always play well in these type of matchups. Vegas has the Wizards as favorites so I will be playing a lot of Wall tonight (although not 100% exposure).
I like Giannis in GPPs, but Will Barton is a lock for me across the industry. He has b2b 40+ FDP games and gets a juicy matchup against the struggling Knicks. I expect Denver to win this game, which means Barton should have a big night. He will do a lot of ball handling and can put up another big game. The Knicks are awful against guards so he's a fine play.
PG13 is the top overall SF on the slate. He's scored at least 34 points in his last 3 games in DC and should absolutely dominate this game. Nobody on the Wizards can stop him, and he'll surely impress on ESPN.
Many people will gravitate to Kristaps Porzingis, but if you take a close look, he didn't play over 30 minutes last game. Wilson Chandler is a very aggressive defender and I'm going to be fading Porz tonight. I do however love Dieng. He is playing more minutes as of late, and with Terrence Jones ruled out, he will get Dante Cunningham defense. He loves playing against the Pelicans and has 3 straight double double against them in Minnesota. I have him in almost every lineup since he is too cheap.
I'm looking for a nice late night hammer and Lopez fits the bill. He has at least 27 FDP in 3 straight games and gets more usage with Jimmy Butler off the court. He's dealing with a hell contusion so he probably won't play tonight. They don't need him to beat the Suns. Tyson Chandler is a good rebounder, but the Suns play so fast that Lopez should make value easily. He's super cheap across the industry, too.

How do you tell a teacher who's got the passion and gets the results, you're fired? "I'm getting emotional thinking about it right now," said Emily Mixon, a drama teacher in Escambia County who just learned she won't be able to return to the classroom next month. "My purpose is to educate. I can't believe at 35 I would be needing to look into a career change," she told us recently. Mixon is one of at least 920 Florida teachers who are being terminated this summer because they can't pass a portion of the Florida Teacher Certification Exam also known as the FTCE licensing exam.


Ladies and gentlemen, this is my favorite holiday of the year. And no, I'm not talking turkey and football and pies. I'm talking shopping—it's almost Black Friday! Hey, I'm as thankful as the next person, but my female family members and I have made an even better holiday tradition than calorie consumption out of getting up at wickedly early hours and rushing off to stand in line at some store with a great sale. I admit that it's not a rational tradition, nor does it represent (in my eyes anyway) the "reason for the season." But it's FUN! And with a hectic life, it gives me a great excuse to spend hours upon hours "hunting" with my loved ones.
So it's apparent by now that I'm doing all I personally can to stimulate our weak economy. As my daughter's kindergarten class strives to achieve new heights each day with its "Do Your Personal Best" credo, I just look at my rock-bottom-price purchases as kicking the ole' consumer confidence indeces up a notch by offering my "personal best" shopping spree.
... And when you're back home and rested, send me an email to share your best Black Friday story.
From the entire Window & Door staff, we wish you a truly enjoyable holiday. Be safe and we'll Talk with you again in December.

I have owned a few Schecters from their Diamond Series a couple of years ago. Back then, everybody I knew played LTDs and I kinda wanted something different. As they weren't readily available in Germany, I even had to go through the troubles of importing them from the US. Apart from the chunky necks (and the Duncan Designed Pickups), I really liked them. The last one, a Tempest Custom and clearly my favorite of the bunch, I sold – only to fund a 1983 Gibson Les Paul Custom – which is understandable, don't you think?
…until last year, when they introduced a bunch of really interesting guitars, including the Keith Merrow-sig – the KM-7 – leading the way. I guess Keith doesn't need an introduction, but if you haven't heard of the guy: he's a very successful Youtuber, works for Seymour Duncan and plays in "Conquering Dystopia" with Jeff Loomis… 'nuff said, this guy is legit!
I was really hoping to get the white model… and received the black one. Typical, right? But seriously, it looks far better in real-life than it does in the pictures. And to be honest, the finish has really grown on me since I've had it.. Actually, the trans-black is more of a charcoal type of color with a slight burst around the edges. On the back, it's see-through and you can see the 2-piece swamp-ash construction of the body. Very classy! The limited color-options (black & white) might turn some people off, though. Fans of flashy colors should wait until the new "lambo-orange" version comes out. The finish feels sturdier and more durable than the regular matte-satin-finish on ESPs or Ibanez guitars. I obviously can't speak from experience, but I assume that the KM-7 will keep its matte look for quite a while.
According to the Schecter website and my own experience with Schecters, I expected the neck to have a chunky-ish, round C-profile. I have very good news for you: It doesn't! It actually has a D-profile, similar to the Ibanez Wizard neck. The back is extremely flat with pronounced shoulders – the detail, that sets it apart from the Wizard profile. The increased angle in which the neck is rounded off is especially noticable in the higher registers, giving the player a very big and even surface on the back of the neck. It feels a bit odd at first, but after five minutes tops I felt "right at home". Summarized: The neck of the KM-7 is extremely comfortable and thought-out. I can totally see that the neck profile matches Keith Merrow's playing-style.
Like the recently reviewed LTD AW-7, the Schecter KM-7 comes with an ebony-fretboard. And what applied to the Alex Wade model also applies to Keith Merrow's – the fretboard is dyed black. And I can only say it again: this isn't a bad thing. We're practically all out of that rich black ebony, so get used to dyed fretboards already. Still, Schecter does a better job at dyeing their probably streaky and cloudy, but otherwise perfectly fine ebony. While the fretboard on the LTD looked glossy and – yeah – actually laquered, the fretboard on the KM-7 looks realistically matte.
The KM-7 comes with offset dots that are "reversed" after the 12th fret. It's something different, but they're still dots. It gets fancy on the side of the neck, though. Keith and Schecter decided to equip the binding with glow-in-the-dark dots. Now that's something you don't see on production guitars regularly. They are bigger too, which might sound like a tiny detail, but trust me – it's like a revelation in poorly lit conditions.
Keith Merrows signature-guitar comes with a set of Seymour Duncans (Nazgul and Sentient) and the dark, brushed-aluminium covers look extremely good in combination with the trans-black-finish. Apart from that, you get an original Hipshot-bridge and Schecter Locking-Tuners. The tuners are okay. They stay in tune, but they're also a bit inaccurate – but maybe that's just the case on my test-guitar. You also get a 3-way-switch and a coil-splitting push/pull-poti. I never used coil-splitting, I never will … those who need it know what to do with it.
Enough yada-yada. Watch the playthrough-video below to see the Schecter KM-7 in action.
Simon added the Seymour Duncan Nazgul to his 7-String Pickup Shootout a while back and I wasn't that impressed. It sounded good, but a bit scooped. In the KM-7, it definitely sounds better, though. It seems like the Nazgul has been tailored to the swamp-ash/maple construction with Keith Merrow himself being involved in the making of the pickup. The guitar sounds dry (in a good way), articulate and well-balanced. I'd still love to hear the KM-7 with a DiMarzio D-Activator or an Instrumental SFTY3-7.
Schecter and Keith Merrow did a great job with the KM-7. It's the details, that convinced me. You'll get the large glow-in-the-dark side dots, beautiful bindings and an original Hipshot-bridge. The wood combination sounds very well balanced and the finish feels very comfy and durable.
In the US, the KM-7 retails for $ 999 – a very reasonable price for such a guitar with these specs and features. In the EU, the same guitar costs 1329€ – that's an upcharge of about 44%. Although we're used to higher retail-prices here I can't understand the hefty price-difference, hence the lower price-rating.
This is an unbiased, but sponsored review. Our thanks go out to the german Schecter-distributor Musik Meyer for the test-guitar.

T. REX Electric Warrior (Simply Vinyl)
"Electric Warrior" was the album with which Marc Bolan finally expunged the last remnants of his perfumed garden past and forged glam rock from a sackful of slow-motion Chuck Berry riffs and a cheek-dusting of glitter. What makes this album such an endearing listen so many decades after the fact is the sheer simplicity of it all. With just bass, drums and guitar, aided and abetted by a few restrained string and brass arrangements, there's not an ounce of flab here, just a Rolling Stones-style urge to break in, get straight to the heart of the song and be away again and covering the tracks before anyone notices. (As the 1970s progressed T. Rex albums became increasingly more elaborate and decreasingly successful, a decline only arrested by Marc's punk-invigorated swansong "Dandy In The Underworld"). And it's not just a smattering of big singles bridged by forgettable filler: "Cosmic Dancer" and "Life's A Gas" have been covered reverentially by Morrissey and Teenage Fanclub respectively, whilst "Girl" and "Rip-Off" are both astonishingly successful polar opposites, being delicate ballad and scorched-earth rock out respectively. Yes, the lyrics are utter nonsense cooked up to fill the spaces between the equally nonsensical choruses, but a) Marc had already spent four Tyrannosaurus Rex albums proving his poetic credentials and b) if you like a little meaning with your glam rock head for Bowie's "The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars" or Lou Reed's "Transformer", both of which could scarcely have existed in their released form, if at all, without this album.
Simply Vinyl have done great things with the packaging of their "Electric Warrior" reissue, with the full lyrics reproduced on the back cover and a picture insert that I hadn't seen before despite spending my school years with friends blessed with an obsessional devotion to the collecting of Bolan records. It's a shame that the labels are A&M ones rather than the Fly originals, presumably due to the fact that A&M own the master tapes to "Electric Warrior" this week. (A trivial point, I know, but one that Simply Vinyl usually go to great lengths to get right.) And sonically this reissue harks back to the bad old days when I'd grudgingly accept that spending £16 or so on an SV release was less of a hit-or-miss experience than scouring record fairs trying to net a mint condition original: here "Electric Warrior" sounds a little tired, compressed and distorted - faults that I acknowledge could be present on the original master tapes - compared to the other excellent Simply Vinyl reissues raved about above.
MARC BOLAN & T.REX 20th Century Superstar (Universal)
This lavishly presented 4 CD collection, packaged in the currently fashionable style for multi-disc sets as a hardback book, is the first ever overview of the entirety of Marc Bolan's musical career. Its closest competitor is K-Tel's 1985 double album "The Best Of The 20th Century Boy", which handled the Tyrannosaurus and T.Rex hits, at least, and was coincidentally the first ever T.Rex I clapped ears on, its excellence precipitating a decade-late (at least) mini outbreak of T. Rextasy amongst friends in my school year. "20th Century Superstar" adds a plethora of interesting album tracks, alternate versions, rarities and oddities, and takes the story back via his brief stint in John's Children and early solo sides to demos the 17 year old recorded under the name Toby Tyler, summing in total over five hours' worth of Bolan boogie. There's also the obligatory big booklet written by Marc biographer Mark Paytress, a foreword from T.Rex producer Tony Visconti, a discography and more rare photographs than you could shake a Leica at. Finally, it looks as if the Bolan legacy, for too long badly handled by rival record companies, rabidly obsessive fan organisations and almost continual dubiously motivated repackaging, has found itself a safe haven at last.
To the music, then, most of which is pretty great. Of the early solo material even the sub-Donovan jangling of Toby Tyler's interpretation of "Blowin' In The World" is quaint fun, whilst the inclusion of rocking-horse rare tracks such as "The Wizard" - later rejigged as a lengthy epic on the first, eponymous T.Rex album, here a compact folk rock thing not dissimilar to the kind of music his friend and competitor David Bowie was making at around the same time - fills fascinating gaps that have long existed in my appreciation of the man's work. A too-brief smattering of tracks by John's Children - once famously dubbed "the worst band in the world" if I remember rightly - accurately documents their brand of mod psychedelia of the kind that sold zip at the time but which has since become treasured by anyone with a Record Collector subscription. A demo of "Chateau In Virginia Waters" produced by Joe Boyd is one of this set's real discoveries: lush and elaborate compared to the version released on Tyrannosaurus Rex's debut album, it offers a fascinating, frustrating glimpse of what could have been had he continued to work with the duo.
Folk purists might sneer at the Tyrannosaurus Rex material - and admittedly its primitive production and Marc's pixie warble place it a long way down the evolutionary ladder compared to the contemporaneous work of the Incredible String Band, for example - but I think these selections still sound terrific today. It reminds me of the mind-altering experience of borrowing all four Tyrannosaurus Rex albums from a hip teacher at school and listening to them all in the same night - the arcane titles, the gnomic logic of the lyrics, the fairy stories, the sheer otherplanetness conjured up from primitive tools such as a larynx, an acoustic guitar and bongos. Naturally, Bolan's imagination and ambition soon outgrew these constraints - listen to the fabulous pixie organ lushness of "Chariots Of Silk", a pocket Phil Spector production if ever there was one, or the magnificent "King Of The Rumbling Spires" which, with its goth/glam fusion practically invents the Smashing Pumpkins 20 years too early. "By The Light Of The Magical Moon" skims even closer to the classic early T.Rex sound, a noise now precariously balanced between Middle Earth mysticism and Chuck Berry economy, a tussle that found its most fully realised expression, and ultimately its destruction, on the closing track of the final Tyrannosaurus Rex album, "Elemental Child". Essentially just Marc and an electric guitar, this astonishing five minutes was both a last kiss to his pixie past and a first glimpse of the future, the Electric Warrior. Unveiled live on a John Peel show on New Year's Day, 1970, the DJ's awed response was, "Scotty Moore would be proud of you".
One of the many delights of "20th Century Superstar" is the way it also trawls through the flotsam and jetsam of Bolan's career, one such example being the inclusion at this point of David Bowie's "The Prettiest Star" single. on which Marc played guitar. Not dissimilar to the version that would close "Aladdin Sane" three years later, it tellingly illustrates that, although the two stars might have been moving along similar trajectories they were still light years apart, the song appearing as a bottomless pool of sophistication in this company. And now T.Rex emerge fully formed and triumphant with the effortless "Ride A White Swan" single and a representative selection of similarly supercharged gems from their eponymous debut - songs as crisp, simple and addictive as "Beltane Walk" and "Diamond Meadows" are rare, even (or perhaps especially) today. The remainder of CD2 finds the band's sound easing into overdrive, positioning a few highlights of "Electric Warrior" (check the free jazz sax versus long, dragged-out string arrangement versus feedback outro of "Rip Off") alongside killer singles ("Hot Love") and breathtaking b-sides (the astonishing, strutting triptych "There Was A Time/Raw Ramp"). Should you be seeking a brief, jolting explanation as to why Marc Bolan matters, plug in here.
From here on in the elegant simplicity of the formula became gradually overburdened with Spectoresque ambition. Some great songs were still able to peep up through the aural sludge - witness "Telegram Sam", its killer b-side "Cadillac" (surely home to the most exhilarating opening "Yeah!" Marc ever put on wax), "Baby Strange", later covered by Big Star, a band who knew a thing or two about three-minute pop perfection themselves - but the cream had definitely begun to curdle. Bolan's songwriting became more wistful and reflective on songs like "Spaceball Ricochet", this particular trait reaching its apotheosis on the bedraggled, bewildered glitter of "Teenage Dream".
In the booklet Paytress pleads the apologist's case for Bolan's fat Elvis (or "glittering chipolata sausage") years, but in truth the selections included here from "Zinc Alloy And The Hidden Riders Of Tomorrow", "Bolan's Zip Gun" and "Futuristic Dragon" are rather more than your collection needs from this period. Even so, I will always have time for the floaty disco party of "Dreamy Lady", the swaying strings behind "Till Dawn" and the acoustic introspection of deservedly rescued b-side "Life's An Elevator". Unfortunately there's only room for four tracks from Bolan's premature 1977 swansong (pun unintended, honestly) and punk-era near-comeback "Dandy In The Underworld", the most enjoyable, interesting and assured album he had made in at least five years, but if the thunderous glory of "Teen Riot Structure" doesn't leave you itching to hear more I would suggest you've probably just wasted the preceding five hours of your life working through this excellent set. "20th Century Superstar" stands as exactly the kind of career celebration Bolan has long deserved, rounding up both all the singles and salient album tracks for the newcomer but also a tranche of hard-to-find rarities and alternate takes for the committed enthusiast. If you're interested, or even think you might be interested, in Marc's music, bar the £40 price tag this set is pretty much unassailable.
MARC BOLAN & T.REX Bump'N'Grind (Thunderwing)
The fascinating genesis of this release began when a pile of T.Rex master tapes came up for auction at Bonham's in London. When they failed to sell, a group of Bolan aficionados pooled their resources to save and preserve them. In the process, they discovered the tapes contained much previously unheard instrumental and vocal work, as well as false starts, introductions and extended outros that added significantly to the accumulated knowledge of Marc's working methods.
"Bump'N'Grind" collects some of those discoveries, and it's fantastic. From setlist to sound to performance, it's like eavesdropping on the ultimate T. Rex gig, albeit one attended by a curiously unresponsive audience. Bolan sounds wired and charged, amped and vamped on these recordings. Even though several are the same takes as the released versions, shorn of their extravagant orchestrations and radio-friendly fades they mutate into more potent beasts altogether.
Nevertheless, this is no exercise in hair-shirt, warts-and-all authenticity. The compilers have sensitively preserved Bolan's artistic dignity even when the captured performances have attempted to betray it. For example, "The Soul Of My Suit" has been topped by Marc's own explanation, taken from a different run-through, of the complex intro that was abandoned at some point in the two years between this recording and the song's eventual release. It's tailed by an early fade due to what the booklet calls "some spirited out-of-tune guitar playing". When the original drum track drops out four minutes into "20th Century Boy", the lack is carefully made up using headphone leakage, preserving this fabulously unexpurgated version of the take that supplied the single for grateful posterity.
"The Groover" is abandoned once after Marc erroneously counts in "1-2-3-4" rather than the iconic "T-R-E-X!", and again because it's too fast. "Dishing Fish Wop" is revelatory, a harmonica-puffing soulful shimmer that appeared in diluted, diminished form, on the "Bolan's Zip Gun" album retitled "Golden Belt". "Come On, Bill", he yells encouragingly to drummer Legend during "Telegram Sam", and "Silver Lady", later to become "Dreamy Lady", is beguiling even in prototype. Some raucous slide guitar powers "Fast Blues (Easy Action)" towards its eventual number 2 chart position as "Solid Gold Easy Action", Bolan dismissing it with the comment "Rough voice on that, let me come back to it later".
Perhaps not all of "Bump'N'Grind" matches the hype. A closing "Children Of The Revolution" is a lumbering, shuddering 12 minute jam that totters perilously close to collapse at times. But when it seems like every last T. Rex studio sweeping is being made available, this album stands almost alone in its commitment to presenting the band's raw, primal power. If you've ever felt the slightest tingle of T. Rexstasy you can't possibly be disappointed. Like the man says, it's good for your mind.
TYRANNOSAURUS REX A Bears Of Stars (Universal/A&M)
On the fourth and final Tyrannosaurus Rex album you can practically hear the cogs and gears of Marc Bolan's stardom masterplan creaking and grinding into place. Consider that the front cover depicts only him and his waterfalling curls, the replacement of percussionist Steve Peregrine Took with Mickey Finn to create what would become the inaugural T. Rex lineup and the streamlined songs that dwell within – admittedly, they're still a long way from "Top Of The Pops", but these slender, charming works are both more refined and elaborately adventurous than the Tolkein bongo that made his/their name. A small but significant shift is taking place – you can hear it in the way that "Pavilions Of Sun" wants to float and chug at the same time, yet the sly, seductive "By The Light Of The Magical Moon" makes "Ride A White Swan" sound like Slade. "Organ Blues", meanwhile, is exactly that – imagine a hobbit on his back porch with a tiny toy keyboard.
It's on "Elemental Child", that the Vamp-powered T. Rex bursts from the chrysalis, sounding a little crackly on this reissue but resplendent with its power undimmed. Marc had been under the informal tutelage of a certain Mr Clapton, and it shows as Bolan pushes against the outer edges of his limited musicianship during the fabulous, furious 210 second solo that closes the song, and the original album.
There follows a clutch of demos recorded with the ousted Took but rejected for the album, according to producer Tony Visconti because Bolan was keen to avoid having to pay his former bandmate any royalties. This trove includes such fragrant miniatures as "Find A Little Wood", "Blessed Wild Apple Girl" and "Once Upon The Seas Of Abyssinia", titles discussed reverentially with schoolfriends if never actually heard during my belated Bolan-fan youth. Alternate takes are presented of a generous 11 of the main feature's 14 tracks, infuriatingly slightly askew compared to the original running order. Nevertheless, of these only "Organ Blues" was subjected to any significant overhaul on its path to the platter.
Always one of the duo's greater achievements, in this slipcased Expanded Edition, replete with restored artwork and informative booklet notes by Bolan biographer Mark Paytress the oft-mistreated "A Beard Of Stars" finds its worthiest incarnation since the original Regal Zonophone issue.
T. REX The Slider (Get Back)
If "Electric Warrior" sounded hesitant at times, barely aware of the monster it was about to awaken, the third studio album under the T. Rex banner, "The Slider", fervently embraces the stack-heeled silliness of glam from the first. It's all there in the glitter-daubed Spectorian overload of opener "Metal Guru": the burping brass, the amped up, dumbed down blues forms, the orgasmic grunting and enough tinsel to make it Christmas everyday until at least next Christmas. Similarly, "Telegram Sam" is "Get It On" cranked up to 11, just brash enough to drown out the sound of a production line grinding into action. Then again, both the 1970s and 1990s incarnations of Big Star saw fit to cover "Baby Strange", which, given Alex Chilton's then pre-eminent position as purveyor of the finest available British Invasion-inspired power pop, is a pretty remarkable compliment.
However, it's the mellow, melancholy side of "The Slider", typified by "Mystic Lady", "Ballrooms Of Mars" and "Main Man", that wears the years better. Away from the hollow flash of the rest of the album, there's a vulnerability here that's oddly compelling: when Marc invokes the rock he sounds almost scared. His lyrics are like a dimestore Dylan's, with the purity of words chosen for their sounds, where any meaning is almost accidental. He still manages to namedrop a "Sgt. Pepper" sleeve-ful of celebrities, though, including the aforementioned Mr Dylan, John Lennon, Alan Freed, Howlin' Wolf and Pasolini.
Shallower and more formulaic than "Electric Warrior", and probably less lovable for it, "The Slider" captures T. Rexstasy at full throttle whilst also sowing the seeds of the fad's imminent burnout. Despite containing two number one singles, and released in the wake of two compilations hitting the top spot, "The Slider" failed to struggle past number four in the album charts. Get Back's vinyl reissue is lovely, though, arriving on fine-sounding 180 gram vinyl in a gatefold sleeve containing the lyrics.

You put a lot of time and thought into preparing for an emergency. Now that you have survived one, how well did your plan work? Do not guess at the answer. Assess how each step in the plan worked for children, parents, staff, and local emergency officials. Despite your best efforts to reassure and present a calm, safe environment, staff and children may experience some distress. Signs and symptoms of distress may be withdrawal or depression, feelings of helplessness, uncharacteristic acting out or anti-social behavior, or physical symptoms such as headache, bladder/bowel problems, chest pains, and changes in eating and sleeping patterns.
While professional assistance may be needed, you can help overcome this post-traumatic stress by giving them correct information about the disaster, letting them help put things back to normal, and providing opportunities to talk and share their feelings.

Q: Sending user to nested view When a user shuts down my app, I'd like to send them back to where they left off.  The app starts on a tableview, the user drills down to another tableview and then clicks a row for a detail view.  When they startup the app again, I have two choices:
1.) Display options (alertview) for returning to the previous location or cancelling and remaining on the start view.
2.) Immediately jet them over to the detail view.
I don't like either option. (1) gets to be nagging if you must go through it on every startup.  (2) could be confusing and I'm not sure technically how that works.
Any suggestions on the above or something different?

A: But 2) is the preferred way according to Apple's HIG:

Even though your application does not run in the background when the user switches to
  another application, you are encouraged to make it appear as if that is the case. When your
  application quits, you should save out information about your application's current state in
  addition to any unsaved data. At launch time, you should look for this state information and
  use it to restore your application to the state it was in when it was last used. Doing so
  provides a more consistent user experience by putting the user right back where they were
  when they last used your application. Saving the user's place in this way also saves time by
  potentially eliminating the need to navigate back through multiple screens' worth of
  information each time an application is launched.

As far as the technical implementation, it's exactly the same: push your subviews onto the navigation controller. The only thing I'd do differently is not animate the 'drilling down.'

A: When your app starts up, it has an initial 'look', screen, view, whatever.
When it starts back up and has a previous context, add a link or button naming the previous context that allows returning there.

Q: Image is stretched while Adding into PDF - iText 5 .NET I am stamping multiple images in the PDF document being generated from my SharePoint app. The PDF generation & image is stamping is working fine, but the image is changing it's original width & height i.e. the image is getting stretched when added to the PDF.
Here is my code:
SPFile PendingimgFile = obj_sign.GetFile("PendingApproval");//Get Image
byte[] imgByte = PendingimgFile.OpenBinary(SPOpenBinaryOptions.None);
MemoryStream ms_img = new MemoryStream(imgByte);

iTextSharp.text.Image image = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(ms_img);
image.SetAbsolutePosition(HorizontalValue, verticalValue);

image.ScaleAbsolute(80f, 60f);

cb.AddImage(image);//PDF Content byte

I've gone through this
The image quality is becoming very poor due to stretching, following is the screenshot from the PDF File:

Q: Mass of mesons and baryons In my introduction to nucleons and particles (basic) course, we were given the following formula to compute the mass of mesons and baryons :
\begin{eqnarray}
   M(\text{meson}) & = & m_1 + m_2 + A \frac{\vec{S}_1 \vec{S}_2}{m_1 m_2} \\
   m(\text{baryon}) & = & m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + A \left( \frac{\vec{S}_1 \vec{S}_2}{m_1 m_2} + \frac{\vec{S}_1 \vec{S}_3}{m_1 m_3} \frac{\vec{S}_3 \vec{S}_2}{m_3 m_2}\right)
\end{eqnarray}
$\vec{S}_1 \vec{S}_2 = \frac{1}{2} ( \vec{S}^2 - \vec{S}^2_1 - \vec{S}^2_2)$
$\vec{S}_1 \vec{S}_2 = \frac{1}{4} \hbar ^2$ for vector mesons $(s=1)$
$\vec{S}_1 \vec{S}_2 = - \frac{3}{4} \hbar ^2$ for pseudo-scalar mesons $(s=0)$
$A=160 \left( \frac{2 m_u}{\hbar} \right) Mev/c^2$.
I guess the small m's stand for the masses of the composing quarks.
Now what we got for an explanation isn't very clear to me.
I understood that quarks are only like, $0.1 \%$ of the mass, and that the rest comes from the kinetic energy of the quarks and their confinement inside the nucleon.
What I don't get is:
1) how do we compute this ? (i.e., how do we know the spin of a meson ? And why are the values of $\vec{S}_1 \vec{S}_2$ such ?)
2) Where do these formula come from ?
I have no background in QFT.

A: 1) how do we know the spin of a meson?
A meson is composed of 2 quarks, and each quark is spin 1/2. For the vector meson, it is +1/2 and +1/2, and for your pseudo-scalar meson, if it is 0, should be +1/2 and -1/2.
