Lički Novi falu Horvátországban Lika-Zengg megyében. Közigazgatásilag Gospićhoz tartozik.

Fekvése
Gospićtól légvonalban 5 km-re közúton 6 km-re délnyugatra a Likai-mezőn, a Gospićról Karlobagra menő 25-ös számú főúttól délre a Novčica partján fekszik.

Története
A falu feletti Novigrad várát 1449-ben a Frangepánok birtokmegosztásakor említik először, amikor Dujam birtoka lett. Őt 1464. július 22-én kelt oklevelében Mátyás király is megerősíti a vár birtokában. A 16. század elején Zrínyi Miklós sógorának, Karlovich Ivánnak a tulajdona volt. 1527-ben a Lika nagy részével együtt elfoglalta a török és a várat megerősítette. Novi vára volt a székhelye Senković Rizvan agának, aki innen igazgatta likai birtokait. 1689. június 15-én elfoglalták a Marko Mesić és Stojan Janković vezette horvát hadak, eleste után a környék kisebb várai harc nélkül kerültek horvát kézre. 1691-ben Mesić horvátokat telepített le ide. 1692-ben a 3200 fős török sereg visszafoglalta, kirabolta és felgyújtotta, de Mesić a Kurjaknál fekvő Tušica-völgyben megverte őket. Már 1695-ben felépült Páduai Szent Antal tiszteletére szentelt első fatemploma. Az 1723-as egyházlátogatáskor Pohmajević püspök már falazott templomot és plébániaházat talált itt. 1733-ban Benzoni püspök azt írja, hogy néhány évvel korábban megújították a tetőt és a falakat, melyeket két könyökkel megemeltek. Plébániája az akkori Gospićot is magában foglalta. A falunak 1857-ben 1088, 1910-ben 948 lakosa volt. A trianoni békeszerződés előtt Lika-Korbava vármegye Gospići járásához tartozott. Ezt követően előbb a Szerb-Horvát-Szlovén Királyság, majd Jugoszlávia része lett. 1942. június 23-án hajnalban partizánok támadták meg a falut és a plébánost a szerbek lakta Divoseloba hurcolták. 1991-ben lakosságának 99 százaléka horvát volt. 1991-ben a független Horvátország része lett. Szeptember 13-án a szerbek támadásában a templom is megsérült, majd 17-én egy újabb bombatámadásban az épület ki is gyulladt. A templomból csak néhány miseruhát és tárgyat sikerült megóvni, melyeket a plébános korábban a hívek házaiba menekített, minden egyéb a lángok martaléka lett. Megsemmisült a templom legértékesebb berendezési tárgya a Szent Antal szobor is. A háború után a templomot alapjaitól kellett újjáépíteni. A falunak 2011-ben 297 lakosa volt.

Lakosság

Nevezetességei
A falu feletti magaslaton találhatók Novi (más néven Novigrad) várának csekély maradványai. A vár formájáról ma már csak a bécsi hadilevéltárban őrzött rajz alapján lehet képet alkotni. Eszerint a belső vár szabálytalan ötszög alaprajzú volt, benne egy torony, a várpalota és a várkápolna állt. Körülötte volt a külsővár, melyet északról még egy kisebb elővár is védett. Ez előtt is állt még egy kisebb kápolna.
Páduai Szent Antal tiszteletére szentelt plébániatemploma eredetileg a 18. század első felében épült, de az a templom 1991 szeptemberében teljesen leégett. A mai templom a háború után 1999 és 2001 között épült fel. Az újjáépítés során a templom területén régészeti feltárások folytak, mely során régi sírok kerültek elő ékszer mellékletekkel.

NCCI Announces Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
Abraham D\'Souza 12 January 2018
The National Council of Churches in India (NCCI) has announced the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity for 2018. The prayer week that will be held from Jan 18 to 25 will be observed by the churches all over the world.
General Secretary of NCCI, Rev. Dr Roger Gaikwad, in a statement said that churches are called to work together to heal the wounds in the body of Christ.
The aim of the prayer week is to bring churches "together and work where God is", he said.
Chosen from the book of Exodus 15:6, the theme for the 2018 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is "Your Right Hand, O Lord, Glorious in Power."
The prayer week "is symbolic of the visionary prayer of Jesus that Christian disciples may all be one," NCCI noted.
"The sad reality is that we are divided on the basis of religious matters such as traditions, doctrines, practices, and governance, and also on social and political issues as well as economic considerations," it added.
The Caribbean churches have prepared all the resources necessary for prayer week.
Caribbean, which deeply marked by the dehumanizing project of colonial exploitation, see the hand of God active in the ending of enslavement.
"It is a uniting experience of the saving action of God which brings freedom," NCCI noted.
"For this reason the choice of the song of Moses and Miriam (Ex 15:1-21), as the motif of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2018 was considered a most appropriate one," it added.

Bonus Episode – The U.S.S. Indianapolis
Listen: Online | iTunes | RSS Feed
After hearing the news about the discovery of the Indianapolis wreck, we thought we should unlock this Patreon episode that we recorded over the course of the summer. Make sure you sign up if you'd like more of them hitting your download queue in the future!
2.1 – Edward Braddock Walks into a Bullet
What is it that makes a good marksman? Is it their training? Their weapon? Maybe they're just born that way, or raised with a rifle in their hands. In our Season Two premiere, we take a look at the shift to the modern rifle and the individuals who sometimes had the power to change the course of an entire battle with their weapon.

Interseason #3 – World War III, Almost
While the world watched Cuba as it became a potential nuclear missile launch site, another threat lay off the east coast in the Sargasso Sea. Four Soviet submarines waited for the outbreak of hostilities, and each carried the power to start World War III.

When we set out to tell the story of tanks at the beginning of last July, we didn't have all that much of an idea about how well the idea we had on paper would look in practice, whether wee'd get stuck in the middle of it due to sources, or whether we were even capable of putting it together. To be fair, we've encountered some of those problems at various points throughout these months, but we're incredibly excited to have the finale of season one launch today. From the outset we were indebted to people like yourself who supported the show through social media, reviews on iTunes, and on Patreon. It's been the foremost factor in continuing to push us to improve the show in every way we know how and then some. We can't wait to bring you more.
-Adin
A few requests/updates as we close out the season.
In order to make sure we keep improving where it's most important, we'd like to continue hearing from you. On this page we've drawn up a set of questions that will help us get a better sense of how you're listening to the show and where we can improve. As always, if there's anything we've missed, feel free to get in touch with us via social media or contact@warstoriescast.com.
Inter-season Episodes
In the following months, we'll be telling some one-off stories that we either couldn't fit into this season, or ones that just really interest us. We'll play around with the format of these episodes in order to keep them coming out at a relatively quick clip while also allowing us to start work on season two. For some of these episodes, they'll come out as bonus episodes for supporters of the show on Patreon (so it's a great time to sign up!). Others we'll release through our standard channels on iTunes, Stitcher, or wherever else you might listen to War Stories. We think you'll enjoy these.
As we near the end of summer, we'll start up season two of the show. We're not quite ready to announce the topic we'll cover, but rest assured it'll be the same great War Stories with some further refinements in how we do things.
1.8 – Where Do We Go From Here?
Over the past seven episodes, we've traced the development of armored warfare through the end of traditional, horse-driven cavalry to the armored warfare of Desert Storm. But as military planners and politicians face asymmetric threats and limited conflicts around the globe, how should we look at the role of tanks?

1.7 – A (Desert) Storm is Brewing
Listen: iTunes | Online | RSS Feed
The battles of 73 Easting, Medina Ridge, and Norfolk. Were they the pinnacle of the near century of tank warfare we've covered in season one, or the last gasp?

1.6 – Task Force Zvika
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) of the 1970s emphasized a number of qualities: proactive leadership, heroism, and a recognition of the young life of their country that rose in the wake of great tragedy. These qualities weren't just given lip service, but imbued within enlisted service members and officers of all levels. So when their country was under attack in late 1973, it should come as no surprise that Zvi Greengold and the men of Task Force Zvika rode under those banners, even with a task force that was only four tanks strong.

1.5 – Tigers on the Eastern Front
Nazi Germany fielded a military with many components designed to amaze as much as to destroy. While this philosophy meant that some designs never left the drawing board, one that did was the Tiger Tank—a relatively beastly model whose gun could rip through nearly every form of enemy armor before the ill-fated tank even had a chance to strike. The units comprised of these Tigers, heavy panzer battalions, saw some of their fiercest combat on the most treacherous of battlefields—the Eastern Front.

1.4 – The Tank Destroyers of El Guettar
The 601st Tank Destroyer Battalion, the first of its kind, was stood up in 1941. The theory governing their use had yet to be tested on the field of battle. In November of the following year, Lieutenant Colonel Hershel Baker and the men of the 601st found themselves on the Queen Mary departing for that ultimate of testing grounds. Only a few months later, they found themselves along Gabès Road in Tunisia with the 10th Panzer Division bearing down upon them.
1.3 – Seseña: The Interwar Proving Ground
Well before the threat of World War II entered societies' collective minds, smaller regional conflicts gradually simmered away across Europe. One of these, the Spanish Civil War, might not have drawn much notice from leaders in the United States, but the same could not be said for those who ruled Germany and the Soviet Union. In it, they found the perfect testing ground for the future weapons that would come to define the 1940s and much of our world to this day.

Stop Cyber Crime with our Swiss Det

A picture speaks more than a thousand words
In gathering evidence, our team of Private Investigators Switzerland uses a variety of materials. We use our work skills with three types of visual materials: photography, CCTV videos, and video camera footage. Such materials offer a large amount of information that in many contexts cannot be expressed orally or in writing. In order for visual material to be useful, it must be consistent and correctly recorded. In the context of private investigations, it is usually used to show the locations of a key event or incident, as well as the consequences of a criminal act committed, such as vandalized shop windows or traces at a crime scene in the event of a burglary. The visual material may also contain a depiction of the very fact of an illegal act, as in the case of a cashier who puts money in his pocket or hands over Ukrainian items to a third party. Insight into a situation can be gained on the basis of a single quality image, not to mention a series of images that can reveal important details and key evidence for research purposes.
Secret recording
Video surveillance has been used for decades to secure business and residential premises and its role in conducting investigations is particularly important. Private Investigators Switzerland can use video surveillance cameras in a covert or transparent way. Our team of Private Investigator Switzerland who is doing the reconstruction of a particular criminal act, videos can be key evidence. Covert surveillance for information gathering purposes is a routine part of the job of private investigators. In most cases, the responsibility of a person for a certain criminal offense is determined, as well as for monitoring the act itself at the time of its unfolding. One example is the installation of a camera on the door through which goods are delivered to monitor workers suspected of stealing from the company. When installing surveillance cameras, the investigator must make sure that they are unobtrusive or camouflaged. Modern cameras are, thanks to their smaller dimensions, especially suitable for that. They can be easily placed in plugs, watches, or fire detectors, and disguised to look inconspicuous in relation to pieces of clothing or wearable objects on a person (glasses, watches, etc.). In doing so, the investigator must first consider whether secret camera installation in a zone is permitted or not. Gathering visual evidence that someone, for example, is using illegal narcotics or stealing goods can raise the issue of the legal responsibility of an investigator or company. Violation of privacy in some countries is an offense, which can entail the payment of high compensation to the injured party, who can sue the company or the investigator himself. Therefore, before deciding on this step, our team of Private Investigators Switzerland must consider in detail all the legal implications of such an act.
Photography has been used in criminology for more than a hundred years, and it is still a comprehensive and very useful proof. We use our team of private investigators Switzerland as the primary method of collecting visual documentation because the camera offers high resolutions, easy storage, and is easy to use, and high-quality lenses that allow zooming over longer distances are also a useful addition, keeping in mind that higher zoom it usually narrows the field of view, so there is a need to find a balance. In addition, the functionality of digital cameras, because they can determine at the scene if a scene is adequately recorded and delete it if not. In addition, digital photos are easily incorporated into reports and presentations of investigations, and the advantage of digital cameras is the modes that make it easier for untrained people to adequately photograph the scene. Before going to the field, we must check the condition of the batteries for the camera, the availability of lens cleaning material, the stand (if necessary), and the paper or electronic device with which to make notes about the recorded material.
How to keep documentation and records in the field
In many situations, visual material remains permanent evidence of incidents, robberies, acts of vandalism, and other crimes. It is also necessary to keep quality records of these materials. The primary reason for this is the fact that such documentation can be subsequently analyzed at any stage of the investigation. The team of Private Investigator Switzerland adheres to certain professional standards. At the crime scene, it can be helpful to record all items found, before entering the site itself. Photographs or shots are taken from different perspectives, most often from all four corners of the room, if it is an enclosed space. In that situation, it is useful for our team of private investigators to make shots from the perspectives of other people, e.g. witnesses stating where they were at the time of the incident or official staff first found in the field. In order to gain the best possible insight into the situation on the ground, objects of interest are recorded in the sequence of wider framing angles to narrower. This action is accompanied by written records of the location where the said object was found. If he is moved, our team of investigators first records him in the position where he was found. After that, the object is placed in its original location. Also, before moving the furniture, it is useful to take a picture with the camera held above it to document the original position in relation to the objects. Our team Private Investigator Switzerland always carries a paper or electronic record-keeping device, on which we state the metric values of the distance between objects of interest and, if necessary, prepare a description or sketch of the entire location, indicating the date, time, direction and settings of the device.
Overall, technological advances in the possibilities and convenience of using modern cameras, camcorders, and even telephones have made it significantly easier for researchers to access tools for making visual materials and supporting documentation. Large selection means that the researcher must be careful when choosing quality and affordable equipment. In most cases, they will play an important role in his hands in finding answers to the questions of who, what, how, and when, which are essential elements of any professionally conducted investigation.

By Marisa Clogher	 October 2021
Last year, hoppers at Metro Service Group went on strike for weeks, fighting for better pay, company-supplied PPE, hazard pay, and for Metro to fix trucks that leak hydraulic fluid onto the workers. Their demands were not met, and Metro services have been on the decline. On September 17, the City Council met to discuss trash pickup—or lack thereof—in the wake of Hurricane Ida. At this meeting, members of the public pointed out that trash hadn't been picked up since even before Hurricane Ida. In response, Jimmie Woods, owner of Metro, said that trash trucks had "passed down literally every street"—later stating it was actually "several passes"—in their service area. Woods claimed that first passes were probably done before everyone "made it back into their home," going on to say "obviously, we were all evacuated for eight, nine days," confusing residents who didn't evacuate at all, and saying that he "doesn't think [it's] true" that residents had not had their trash picked up. One member of the public interrupted Woods, saying "He's lying." In addition to in-person public comments, there were 166 online comments submitted; the following are excerpts from both.
Oh damn did y'all fumble normal infrastructure again? Huh that's odd.1Joshua P.
I was at the point of naming every maggot in my garbage and I was gonna put 'em on my income tax as dependents if we had to wait for FEMA for 3 months.2Susie C.
I came before you in July when Mr. Woods came and said he was gonna have everything done and be back to normal by the end of July. That date changed to August the 10th… Every time I call his office I get another date. Like the lady said, I'm about to start naming my maggots 'cause we about to do a second line down Crestmont. It's just no excuse, no excuse, for the lies that have been told over and over again by you Mr. Woods, by your company Mr. Woods, and by everybody who listens to him and repeat the lies that he tells them.3Pearl C.
It is my understanding that these services have been privatized by Richard's Disposal Company and Metro Disposal and Sanitation Company although these services are listed under Department of Sanitation. Since the privatization of these very necessary services, the garbage and trash collection for the entire Orleans Parish has been unacceptable and putting our communities and neighborhoods at risk for habitation of rodents, disease causing insects, air-borne bacteria and pathogens, environmental demise, ecological deterrents.4Yvette T.
Metro Services Group used prison labor instead of providing PPE and paid sick leave to it's employees at the start of the pandemic when it was unsure of how deadly and transmissible the virus was.5Andrew B.
Pay these guys their money. They work hard, they sweat, long hours, overtime. These guys work 75 hours a week, OK? Hey, you gotta pay the hoppers. I'm a former hopper. I been there, done that, and I know.6Chris L.
Mr. Woods, of Metro, has been able to aggrandize himself by balking at any semblance of good labor practices – failing to provide adequate pay, PPE, or staffing, and even for a long time ignoring all collective bargaining efforts.7Charles S.
For those of us who stayed under the shelter-in-place idea—nine, 10, 11 days of no power. It was so hot in the houses that everybody's out on their stoop… amid garbage that hadn't been picked up in four weeks before the storm… I hear the council people calling you Jimmie, I don't know you as Jimmie, I know you as Metro. Why do you still have this contract?8Morgan C.
These storms come every year. Why is post-storm cleanup, and reasonable bonuses for workers and lower managers that should go along with, not structured into the contracts? How can a bunch of empty suits have such full pockets?9Sam C.
Presumably there is an agreement with the City's solid waste providers, though a search of City archives and agendas made it so that I was unable to locate the terms of that agreement. I'd hate to think that was by design. However, if anyone competent wrote that agreement, it should have liquidated damages and failure to perform clauses that the City should be enforcing… You are failing them and your fiduciary duty to them.10Lisa T.
I wrote to Councilwoman Palmer over a year ago, on May 10 2020, regarding the striking sanitation workers and the deplorable decision to use prison labor to replace them. I received a reply on May 11 that the Council was liaising with the Department of Sanitation, and I would receive a follow up when there was an update. Needless to say, there was no update, and trash service only got worse, as the sanitation workers, who are employed in one of the top five most dangerous jobs, rightfully refused to work for insultingly low wages.11Jessica P.
Please tell us which of your colleagues didn't want to cancel the sanitation fee when you brought the original ordinance up in July because trash was a problem then just like trash is a problem now… Stop deferring things and force a vote… Make the mayor veto you all, y'all job isn't to please her or to play friendly. But I understand y'all play politics over people.12Oliver F.
The Upper 9th Ward smells like ancient dinosaur dung.13Tyler B.
At some point there has to be a moment that causes one to pause and think, "Am I insane?"14Sharon B.
To follow up on this issue, you can email your City councilmembers or the mayor's office. To submit a public comment, follow instructions at council.nola.gov. Interested in reading all comments after a meeting? You can email your councilmember or file a public records request.

Fireworks go on sale Friday - but not in Midland
Residents won't be stocking up on New Year's fireworks in this region.
Last week, Gov. Rick Perry's office granted extended disaster declarations that would ban the sale and use of all fireworks in Midland, Ector and Andrews counties.
Three other counties — Crockett (Ozona is the county seat), Lubbock (Lubbock) and Terry (Brownfield) counties — also have firework bans in place through the New Year, according to Perry's press office.
Elsewhere, fireworks will go on sale today and continue through Jan. 1.
In Midland, Ector and Andrews counties, the ban on fireworks is in effect through 7 a.m. on Jan. 2.
Those who intentionally violate the order are committing a class B misdemeanor, which is punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and 180 days in jail.
Despite the recent rain, county judges said the Permian Basin remains in an extreme drought and in banning fireworks they wanted to do what they could to prevent wildfires like occurred this year.
"When you ban them, you, in theory and in practice, take away all that risk," Midland County Judge Mike Bradford said. "Our citizenry that I've talked to have not forgotten the horrendous fire season we had. We're not interested in repeating it."
Those in the fireworks industry said they would have preferred a ban on only skyrockets with sticks and missiles with fins as those are the fireworks they believe carry a risk of creating wildfires. They said some fireworks could have been sold safely.
"It puts an extreme burden on people that depend on fireworks for either supplemental income or their livelihood," said Joe Daughtry, president of the Texas Fireworks Association.

← It Would Also Be Nice if the Process Wasn't Drawn Out Over Months
Author's Corner: A Hodgepodge of Tips for Applicants →
by Emily@HiringLibrarians | March 5, 2013 · 8:00 am
Library School Career Center: LIU Palmer
Here is this week's installment of the Library School Career Center feature, which is presented in partnership with the folks from the blog Hack Library School. If you're interested in library education, or in new ideas and the future of the profession, you should check it out.
This interview is with Ellen Mehling, Director, Westchester Program and Internships, Palmer School of Library and Information Science, LIU Post.
Who staffs the career center?
Career services (job hunting and career development) are provided by me [Ellen Mehling] for the Palmer School's students and alumni. There is not an actual physical center; services are provided in various ways, online and face-to-face, one-on-one and in groups, for all Palmer School locations.
Are there "career experts" on staff? What are their credentials?
I've been an advisor on job hunting and career development for various groups including librarians/information professionals and library school students, for about eight years. I started in a former job, advising members of the general public and special populations who were seeking employment, and before long was being asked to teach workshops on the job search to other library professionals. In addition to my work at the Palmer School, I am Job Bank Manager and Career Development Consultant for the Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO).
I've trained other librarians on assisting job hunting patrons, and have taught classes/workshops, moderated or spoken on panel discussions and conducted mock interviews and more, at various venues. I write regularly on job hunting/career topics for various sites, including METRO's. I've served on hiring committees and have been a successful applicant myself in recent years too, so I've seen and experienced first-hand what works and what doesn't.
Does the career center provide any of the following:
√ Resume/CV Review √ Advice on writing cover letters
√ Interview Practice [mock interview]
√ General career advising
√ Other: Career Q&A on blog, webinars presentations/workshops (given by me), joint or guest presentations/workshops, recruiter visits, panel discussions, and full-day job hunting/career events. Some of these are open to students and graduates from other schools. I visit each of the Internship classes each semester to discuss resume writing. Palmer School students and alumni are also encouraged to make use of LIU's Career Services in addition to the industry-specific career services provided by the School.
Do you provide in-person services?
√ Appointments
√ Speakers, or programs that present experts
Do you provide online services?
√ Website with resources √ Blog √ Webinars
√ Twitter: @LIUPalmerSchool
√ LinkedIn √ Facebook
√ Other: Career / Job Hunting Q&A, "Kiosk" student listserv (anyone can subscribe to the listserv)
What do you think is the best way for students to use the career center?
Palmer School students and alumni contact me directly. Anyone can access the information on the blog and/or join the listserv or follow on Twitter, etc.
May alumni use career center resources?
Are there any charges for services?
There is no charge.
Can you share any stories about job hunters that found positions after using the career center?
We are always delighted to hear that our graduates have found positions. Three recent hires among our alumni: Library Media Specialist in the Elmont School District, Archives Technician at the National Archives at New York City, and Archives Coordinator for NY at Cartier.
Anything else you'd like to share with readers about your services in particular, or about library hiring/job hunting in general?
The job market is improving, but competition is still very strong, with many well-qualified applicants for each open position. Relevant skills and experience are necessary in addition to the degree, as are a strong network, patience, and a positive attitude. Students should start networking while they are still in school, and begin their job search before graduation.
Students' Career Paths
Can you talk a little bit about the school's approach to internships, practicums and/or volunteering?
A 120-hour internship is required for the Master's degree students. It is usually done in the final semester. This benefits the students in a number of ways, including giving them experience to put on their resumes, and providing networking opportunities, both of which are crucial to job-hunting success. Students are encouraged throughout the program to get as much experience as they can, however they can, including volunteering, part-time jobs, project work etc.
Are there any notable graduates?
Bonnie Sauer at the National Archives at New York City
Caitlin McGurk at the Center for Cartoon Studies
How many students in the library school?
Approximately 325.
What degree(s) do you offer?
MS in Library and Information Science
MS in Library and Information Science – School Library Media
PhD in Information Studies
Is it ALA accredited?
What are the entrance requirements?
http://www.liu.edu/CWPost/Academics/Schools/CEIS/PSLIS/Graduate-Programs/MS-LIS/AdmisReq
When was the library school founded?
The Palmer School of Library and Information Science was established in 1959 on the LIU Post Campus of Long Island University. The Master of Science in Library Science was first accredited by the American Library Association in 1971. In 1992, the M.S. in Library Science was merged with the M.S. in Information Science and subsequently the name of the degree was changed to the M.S. in
Library and Information Science.
In 1995, the School began to offer the full accredited M.S. in Library and Information Science in Manhattan, and in 1997, the first class of students was admitted for the Doctor of Philosophy in Information Studies program.
√ Northeastern US
√ Urban area (NYC)
√ Suburban area (Long Island)
Anything else you'd like to share that's unique about the school?
The Palmer School of Library and Information Science is one of the most distinguished schools of library and information science in the country. With three program locations throughout the New York metropolitan area as well as online and blended courses, the Palmer School offers a broad portfolio of degree and advanced certificate programs taught by a faculty of distinguished scholars, researchers and hands-on practitioners. We prepare our students for careers for a digital world and help them skillfully harness the way information is preserved, valued and delivered to every facet of society.
Aside from the internship requirement, the Palmer School is known for personalized one-on-one advisement and support throughout the time students are in the program. This continues even beyond graduation with the services available to alumni. The three campuses are LIU Post and LIU Brentwood on Long Island and in Manhattan at NYU's Bobst Library. There is also a Dual Degree (Master's) program, offered at the Manhattan location.
This interview was conducted by Brianna Marshall, who is a second year dual-degree Master of Library Science and Master of Information Science student at Indiana University's School of Library and Information Science. She is Managing Editor for Hack Library School and a 2012-2013 HASTAC scholar. Learn more about Brianna through her blog and portfolio or by following her on Twitter @notsosternlib

A great action game for speed and big truck lovers. Mountain car is a very easy game to play and a very nice speed experience. This race will challenge the power of your truck and your ability to drive over obstacles and hard ways. The main screen of this game allows you to start game, set options, check high scores, check help, check other games and exit. In this game you can set options like music, sound and the kind of truck you would like to race. To navigate and control the truck is very simple, all you need is your keyboard, press left arrow key to accelerate, right arrow key to brake, space bar and control will give you nitro power, "p" will pause, and escape will exit the game.
You must move fast and control your truck over the obstacles to finish first, the games runs against time and to reach new levels you must end with out a crash. Graphics are great and your adrenaline will increase by the way you reach new levels.
Watch out with some obstacles, if you fall down in a big hole you will not be able to take your truck out of there.
as singh Very cool game.

Editorial: The Supreme Court should drop a problematic New York gun case
The Supreme Court hears oral arguments in a New York City case that gun control advocates fear could lead it to expand the reach of the 2nd Amendment.
(Susan Walsh / Associated Press)
By The Times Editorial Board
The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Monday in a New York City gun case that the justices could toss out because there no longer is an issue on the table for them to decide. Or they could lurch to the other extreme and hold that the 2nd Amendment confers a personal right to carry a firearm in public. For once, we hope the court takes the easy way out and drops the case rather than giving the 5-4 conservative majority a chance to dangerously expand the scope of the 2nd Amendment.
At issue is a New York City restriction that barred people who owned a handgun under a "premises license" from taking the gun from their home (or business) unless they carried it unloaded and unlocked to any of seven firing ranges within the city. That meant they could not carry a legally owned weapon out of the city for practice at ranges, to be used in shooting competitions, or to accompany the owner to a second home to be used for self-protection there.
The city argued that it had a broad interest in preserving public safety by ensuring firearms licensed for use in the home stayed there. While we sympathize with the goal of keeping firearms off the streets, the means that New York City concocted were ill-conceived and restrictive to the point of silliness. Regrettably, but predictably, that restriction drew a challenge by gun-rights advocates.
A federal district court judge and the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled for the city. The plaintiffs appealed to the Supreme Court in hopes of persuading the justices to expand the court's 2008 decision in District of Columbia vs. Heller and recognize an individual right to carry a firearm for self-protection in public. The high court took the case in January; seeing the danger ahead, the city and state of New York subsequently changed the restrictions to let gun owners carry their weapons — still locked and unloaded — out of the city. The city then asked the Supreme Court to drop the case.
The court demurred, so Monday's arguments will be about whether the court should even consider the case — technically, whether New York's rescission of the restrictions made the issue moot — and if it should, whether the ban conflicts with the 2nd Amendment, the Commerce Clause and the right to travel.
The latter issues hang on arcane points. New York argues, for instance, that its restriction didn't interfere with anyone's right to travel. It just barred travelers from taking the gun licensed to their home or office with them. The city's lawyers also assert that restricting the ability to transport guns met a legitimate government concern: maintaining public safety and reducing the presence of guns on streets.
The more significant issue is the 2nd Amendment. The court could — and often does — issue narrow rulings in cases before it. But the fear among gun control advocates is that the conservative majority will use this case to rule that the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms for self-protection need not be limited to one's residence.
We disagree at a fundamental level with the Heller decision, which upended decades of jurisprudence that the 2nd Amendment conferred a right for Americans to keep arms collectively — in militias, for instance. In Heller's 5-4 majority opinion written by Justice Antonin Scalia, the court ruled that "there seems to us no doubt, on the basis of both text and history, that the 2nd Amendment conferred an individual right to keep and bear arms." And, the court ruled, the right to self-defense has a long history. But it also said that the government has a legitimate interest in reasonable regulations governing who can buy and carry guns, and restricting them from sensitive locations.
But where and how can that right to own a gun for self-defense be exercised? And does carrying a firearm in public add to one's ability to fend off a bad guy? It seems not, judging by studies that find increased gun violence in states that have right-to-carry laws. A more heavily armed America, with people carrying firearms everywhere they go, is not a safer America. Unfortunately, the conservative majority on the court, with its reliance on its own perceptions of the Founders' original intent, could subordinate public safety to whatever individual right it believes the 2nd Amendment confers. It would be much better for the court to decide that since the New York City restrictions have gone away, so, too, should this case.

Stranger Things 2 Is Much "Darker" Than Season One
Life has not returned to normal for the unlikely heroes.
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A year has passed since a supernatural demon terrorized the town of Hawkins, Indiana, but as Netflix's hit 1980s science fiction series "Stranger Things" returns for a second season on Friday, life has not returned to normal for the unlikely heroes.
The adults and teenagers of "Stranger Things 2" wrestle emotionally with the events of the first season: a town boy's disappearance, a death, a mysterious girl with superpowers and a decaying parallel universe called the Upside Down.
READ ALSO: Netflix Is Launching An All-New "Stranger Things Aftershow"
"We wanted that trauma to really run through the entire season so it's about these characters confronting the horrors," said Matt Duffer, one half of the Duffer Brothers, the twins who created the show.
All nine episodes of "Stranger Things 2" will be released on Friday.
At the center of the show are its young teenage breakout stars. Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) suffers worsening visions of the Upside Down after being rescued, forcing his friends to try to find a way to defeat the demon known as Demogorgon.
Eleven, the innocent, tormented young girl with superpowers played by Emmy-nominated 13-year-old Millie Bobby Brown, is believed dead and is in hiding, staying with the town's police chief, Jim Hopper. Frustrated at being kept away from her friends, Eleven clashes with Hopper (David Harbour) and embarks on a mission to find her mother and finally find a home.
"We wanted (Eleven) to go through her own journey in a way that was much more personal to her and wasn't tied to the boys," Matt Duffer said. "We wanted her to go through a journey of self-discovery without the help of anyone else."
"Stranger Things" has become a phenomenon for Netflix Inc, landing Emmy wins and drawing a cadre of obsessed fans who launched a viral online campaign, #JusticeForBarb, sparked by the gruesome demise of supporting character Barb Holland.
The second season ramps up the quest to bring closure to her death while introducing new characters and expanding the story geographically.
The Duffers said they anticipate five seasons to bring "Stranger Things" to a conclusion.
"It was important to us this season to start to move out of Hawkins and to introduce this world," said Ross Duffer.
"It's such a fine line and it's difficult and obviously sequels always feel this way because people want some of the same - that's why they liked it in the first place - but you don't want to just go in circles," he added.

Van Halen to tour with David Lee Roth in 2012
Van Halen is going back out on the road with a familiar face.
The band has announced that they're touring in 2012, with frontman David Lee Roth, guitarist Eddie Van Halen, drummer Alex Van Halen and bassist Wolfgang Van Halen along for the ride.
According to Entertainment Weekly, they were all last on the road in 2007, which was the first time Van Halen was back together with Roth since a brief reunion in 1996.
Tickets will go on sale starting January 10, although specific dates have yet to be released.
On top of the tour, the band is also getting ready to rock on a new album, Van Halen's first with Roth in about 28 years. The group's last collaboration, "1984," which was released on the last day of 1983, included hits like "Jump," "Panama" and "Hot for Teacher."

Great website. Plenty of useful information here. I'm sending it to several friends ans additionally sharing in delicious. And naturally, thank you in your sweat!
It's absolutely hilarious to be reading some of these comments I'm a Welshman and used to go to university with a few Americans.It never ceased to amaze me how stupid you are and how trivial the matters you self agrandise over are.FFS we have a rock and roll band being bought into politics,religion, in fact just about anything but their music. For pity's sake behave will you and do a bit of growing up while you're at it

Yes we love our music and many other things about our culture. Maybe if the fine people of Wales had some passions in their lives besides Soccer and Drinking, you would have more to do than throw insults out there. By the way, did they not teach grammar or how to form a complete sentence at your university?

Sammy and Mike could'nt work in that enviroment,so it was over.Did you know Wolfgang Van Halen makes more money than David Lee Roth?Roth has a separate managment team.It's funny that Roth would play without Mike ,but Sammy would'nt.Thanks for letting me rant for a while .I do have other interests.HaHAHA.Support Chickenfoot!!!!!! CHICKENFOOT is better anyways. Prediction: the new Van Halen album sucks ass.....BAD.
Van Halen was on hiatus from 1999 to 2004.Mike wanted to play music ,so he rekindled a friendship with Sammy.Mike was behind getting Sammy back in the band in 2004.Then Ed wanted Sammy back ,but not Mike.Sammy would'nt do it without Mike,so in order for Mike to do the tour,he had to sign away royalty rights .His future involvment was also contingent on the Van Halen brothers.HE WAS FIRED.The 2004 shows were a disaster 'cause Ed was wasted.(I was there,I saw it ,I want my money back.)
The Van Halen family band featuring David Lee Roth. Roth was'nt @ ed's wedding was he? Real good friends right? Edward Van Halen is a spoiled low life ,enabled by his brother and his yes men.Roth is with them because he could'nt sell out a free concert @ a grocery store parking lot.Roth is a contract player.There are only 3 members of the "band".The family and that's it.Ed's always complaining that non-family band members don't act like 'bothers'.moron. Sammy got the shaft in 1996.Mike stayed with em 'cause he was lied to.After the Cherone album(after Cherone quit)A majority rules decision was made to give Ed and Al sole control of the band (3 to 1). Mike was made a contract player.

There great with both Roth and with Hagar I have seen both when they were with Van Halen and were great shows.
rousch15
I hope I get to see Van Halen again-this time WITH Roth, as I already saw them with Hagar during the 1988 Monsters of Rock tour along side Dokken, Scorpions, Kingdom Come and Metallica...back when METALLICA was cool!

Them dudes are my cousins and they gave me about 4 PhDs in music theory, composition, law, business and raised me. My husband is their best friend and cares for them. Poor Eddie has had it real bad with all of that cancer he had. Micheal Anthony wanted out of the band because his old lady did not want him to extensively tour and Wolfgang's mama did not want him to tour at all..Alex and Eddie made him do it and he had tutors and did homework on the road. They run him ragged and that is what it takes to be a good musician !
So, just what is your point?

Eddie's checkbook is on "E" David L Roth's check book is on "E". Egos be damn time for a tour.. It won't last 2 months or till ones check book get filled first.
Locode
Just a giant fail all the way around. Roth can't sing anymore, and Eddie is a wacked out junkie.
Sammy rules.
It is not a reunion without Michael Anthony!! I have been a VH fan all my life but Wolfgang will never take Mike's place.What did mike do to get kicked out of the band? When you listen to all the VH records and listen to the harmony on the background vocals; all of that is Mike. What was done to Mike by Eddie was mean and insensitive. If I want to see a kid play bass I'll go to a teen club. To me there never has been a reunion because Michael wasn't on the first tour with Roth in 2007. Screw nepotism. I'll pass!
Mike's much better off with Sammy in Chickenfoot. This version of Van Halen is going to be terrible.
nothing better to do
You gotta give both these guys credit for getting hairstyles that match their age versus the guys that believe they still look good with ponytails at 60 years old!
EVH must have gone permanently deaf as evidenced by 1) this photo and 2) the fact that he has agreed to do this. I'm giving 25-1 that once his hearing aid arrives this deal falls apart.
VanHalenForever
All these comments saying VH sux without Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony is a bunch of BEEE-ESSSS!!! Sammy was never that great as the lead singer in VH anyway. Don't get me wrong, I like him and his voice but he's become a freak. He's so odd with his talk of being abducted by aliens and all the other bizarre stuff he says, FREAK!! He's been dipping into the Cabo Wabo too much and it fried his brain!!! Michael is an awesome bassist but Wolfie needs his chance to prove what an awesome bassist he is too. Wolfegang needs his time to shine, he does, and is a great bassist! Besides, Sammy & Michael are doing just fine with their new band, Chickenfoot and Van Halen no longer needs them. David, Eddie, Alex, and Wolfie, that's how it should be. The band started with David, Eddie, and Alex anyhow, NOT Sammy. Sammy doesn't belong, David belongs as the frontman. David and Eddie are the epitome of Van Halen!! Hope they come to my city or close to it, cuz me & my ffriends are there!!! VAN HALEN FOREVER!!!!
Number one VH fan
Welcome back boys Welcome back.... We missed you and Rock and Roll needs the kick in the A$$
great band
see you there van halen!
Call me when Michael Anthony is back – then I'll be interested. If I wanted to see a fat kid play bass like a statue, I'd get tickets.
"If I wanted to see a fat kid play bass like a statue, I'd get tickets."
Aren't you being harsh? Wolfgang hasn't been on stage or doing concerts that long, just a few years. The young man is learning, his Dad and other bandmates will teach him to move around and do more over time. Give the young man a break, this is new to him. So what if he has some weight on him, big deal?? Most kids go through a chubby phase, he'll grow out of it, don't be an idiot to a teenager, how cruel can you be?? Wolfgang made his first appearance on stage when he was 13 yrs old, then again at 16 yrs old, that's when he actually toured with VH. There's NO teenager who can say they've done that or made that accomplishment. Sounds to me like you're jealous of Wolfgang because of him being so young and his accomplishments. When people put others down, or make fun of them and their appearance, usually means they're jealous of them in some way. I'm so sorry you're jealous of him and his life. So sorry you're so petty and have to make fun of someone's appearance. How small of you. 😐
Tea4One
Any band who charges $300+ for tickets doesn't deserve to be seen. None of these people need the money, they're just gouging people who won't face it that VH sucks, always has and always will....like KISS
VHLover
We got really good seats, they were not all $300 each. My wife knows how much I like Eddie and I was mesmerized by his playing. KISS is fine, they have lots of great songs, but "God gave rock and roll to you" , and to all of us so that we can listen to Van Halen.
Kiss discovered Van Halen.
STN Halllen
Glad to hear about the toor......sorry to see all these nut cases posting......I'm going to Fox for a while.
yeah, the "toor" should be real good!
Excellent. I hope the new album doesn't have songs about "getting older", 'when we was fab in 1984", or similar. They should do a straight ahead album as though they never broke uo. After all, their demographic isn't exactly 17 year olds anymore.
huh? do you want them to write songs about now or like their writing to 17 year olds 30 years ago....your comment makes no sense
narfzort
didn't these guys recently play some shows? i heard it didn't go too well. they got booed. wolfgang didn't fit the bill.
MARGARET I.
WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....I'M THERE!!!!!
My wife and I saw VH in 2007 and spent $600 for tickets. They were awesome. Eddie's guitar playing is second to none. Roth was great. We will be seeing them again in 2012. I have noticed a lot of comments that they are not great. If that is all you had to say, then you are not qualified to comment on this post and you don't truly know great rock and roll. This is real rock and roll. one more thing, what idiot brought politics into this?
Gator Girl
SERIOUSLY! Pedro, u dont have a clue? Get off and go back to ur twang crap. This is America and american music first of all. Alls i can say is diaper or not i would love to have their bank account. If i got that old and could still shake it more power to them, i agree though its a wast of $.
Can't Waint
The MIGHTY Van Halen returns. The greatest rock band of all time. Yep, all time.
Haters saying has beens. Maybe, but so am I. VH was the Best rock band for years and my friends and I rocked out to them all the time. Any true young rock fan today will appreciate them. Just like I appreciate the raw rock and roll of the 60's. I am bothered that Micheal Anthony is not playing w/them. Cmon Eddie, put your ego to the side. Not the same without Michael background vocals.
Van Halen without Michael Anthony is a waste of your money.

"Homer
David Lee Roth is King! Eddie Van Halen sucks. Eddie should be kicked out bring in Steve Vai and then add Mark Anthony."

I hope they play at my grandma's nursing home...everyone there will be so excited.

Ya know? There's a lot of mean spirits out there trashing for the sake of trashing. Nice. Wish them well, goto the concert if ya want. Have fun.

The bands last collab was the tow songs recorded for the greatest hits record
southern_gent_from_mississippi
I saw them when I was in high school. That was nearly 30 years ago. Theyve got to be 60-70 now 🙁 Sorry but if I want to see elderly men in diapers, I would rather visit the nursing home. Have to admit tho, Ive got their best songs on a thumb with some other oldies and listen to them regularly 🙂 Just dont think it would be the same seeing them play. Did get see weezy an crew play in new orleans, earlier this year, tho 🙂 Floor seats with a dime half my age 🙂 Why oh why do ppl call it a midlife 'crisis?' hahaha More like midlife fun, doin all the things you couldnt afford to do in youth. Anyways, nite nite world, peace and happy holidays to all 🙂
you are miserable 🙂
they are not 50 nor are they 70 ... let me see you play the electric guitar at 55 years old like Van Halen does...there is only 1 VanHalen...so shut up and go listen to your Bieber cd's
Dear Eddie,
Well, you must be running low on funds. A new album? It's been what, 13 years since your last so-called piece of work Eddie? (Van Halen III) I respected you until Hagar was fired from VH and I heard all the crap you talked about him afterward in the media. Note: Eddie, you're NOT a bad-a**, and you're not going to kick anyone else's a**. What are you Eddie, a buck-forty dripping wet? Wow, that's scary man, really intimidating! Once a great axe-man – YES! An intimidating bad a** brawler, HELL NO! Get it?
YOU BLEW IT! Hagar was the best thing that ever happened to your band. Too bad you fried your brain and pi**ed away your once phenomenal talent. Anyone that needs to see just how bad your band is now should swing by Youtube for a moment. Just look at a couple of videos from your last tour. One word...pathetic. SAVE YOUR MONEY PEOPLE! My once favorite band is now a joke.
Hagar may be older than you Eddie, but he has been running circles around you since 1996. How many albums has he put out since then? You? Does he need the money? No, he simply loves what he does. He's still kicking a** without all of the VH drama. What happened to you Eddie? Too busy selling amps, guitars, and stomp boxes? Thirteen years! Do you really even like making music anymore? Is that creative tank running on empty?
I never could stand Roth as Van Halen's front man. What ever limited talent the guy had has been gone for almost 20 years. The man has no range, no class, and not one humble bone in his body. One word: LOSER! He doesn't carry Hagar's jock on his BEST day!
While I admire and respect artists (any age) who can still perform at a high level, I have no interest in seeing a has-been guitarist, an talentless ego maniac on vocals, an over-rated drummer who's been riding your coat-tails all his life, and a porker kid on bass that has no business being in the band. IT'S FREAKIN' STUPID EDDIE....THREE OLD-TIMERS, AND A TEENAGER. Do you know how ridiculous you look?
So, you have a NEW band Eddie? Fine with me, just don't call it Van Halen. Call it something else.....how about "Clash of Egos"? "Three Geezers and a Kid"? Something honest at least.
The world's greatest band is gone.

Where the hell are your moderators CNN??? Looks like you've let the lunatics take over the asylum here.
I saw the VH 1980 invasion show, it was unforgetable and one of the best concerts I've ever seen. I'm looking forward to their new material. AlthoughI don't expect it to be as good you just never know.
forsammy
what?? No Sammy. This is not Van Halen at its finest.
With Sammy, VH made records. With Dave, VH made history.
^^v^^
They are NOT the trendy little brainless, talentless, gomers who learned to talk fast in the 3rd grade while shaking their arms and pretending to be tough. This is Van Halen and they can musically outperform anyone in your gay little iPOD with one hand tied behind their back.
They are not "the Bieb" so you can go back to your room now little one.
beeper
I'm excited about the reunion, but a little concerned about the inflamed mass in DLR's mouth seen in this promotional picture.
Michael Westen
Good observation re: Diamond Dave. Hope he's seeing a doctor. Looking forward to his high karate kicks on stage.
daddy justin bieber
Ahhh...just like seeing Black Sabbath back in the day. BS would cancel half their concert dates, the day before. Due to drug ODs at the road parties. Ahh the memories.
No Ass-less_pants,
As much as I like the idea, it will fall through before it ever gets started.
Booberry
Sammy indeed was supposed to be the original singer of the band. They finally got him and then everyone complained!
That's not even close to true. Dave joined the band because it was cheaper than renting his PA if he was their singer. They were unsigned kids playing backyard parties.
Are all the 99%ers going to see the 1%?
madhater
Wolfgang was in the studio, showing Michael Anthony how to play the songs.
erich2112x
Van Halen-1978 is still one of the best rock albums ever released.
What happened to Gary Cherone? Best VH Frontman ever...
Sammy_Rocks
They should do a tour with Sammy and Mike.
A rolling stone gathers no moss and VH will ROCK. Ed is a bad @$$ on the gutiar. Everybody wants to play like him everyone copys his style in some form whan they play. He has had more pie then america eats on thanksgiving so you kids that dont know quit wackin off pick up a gutiar and learn to play. Dave never hit the highs so he does not have to hit them now. I have my kramer it rocks.You kids wont know what thats about either. They dont use them on a Ga Ga CD
HockeyDave
Eddie is a guitar God! Roth is terrible! IWon't even be able to come close hitting the notes and now no Michael Anthony to cover up for him. Does "Wolfie" sing?
There are some YT videos of a few concerts very early. A couple of them are very powerful.
Musicianship can get in the way a lot of the times to raw energy. There really is nothing like it.
Rock & Roll kiddies.
Robert Artola
No Michael Anthony?? No Van Halen!! Anyone who knows Van Halen truly realizes without Anthony, its not a reunion!!
Metal Dave
I totally agree Robert. I think that Michael Anthony is one of the best bass players on the planet, and that's not even including his harmony vocals. Even though his name is not "Van Hallen"...I consider him just as much part of Van Halen as Eddie and Alex. "Wolfie" might be able to hold his own (as one writer mentioned)...but he is a far cry from Michael. I'll probably still see the tour, as the last Van Halen show I saw was the Diver Down tour. I'm only going because of Diamond Dave, and I do like Eddie and Alex. If no one here has seen Chickenfoot yet...check them out! They are damn good! Hell...Joe Satriani is the guitar player...what more can you ask for!?

ndiezel
They are has-been gay liberal hippy white draft dodgers that need their original bass player back to sing harmonies because the one they have now holds his own while on tour. And they are sober gay clowns.
You don't recognize your dad and your other dad?
Hey I am a huge fan and am so glad Roth is back but it's not the lineup that made them stars. They need to get Michael Anthony back in the mix and put on a real VH tour. I saw VH with Roth twice after he rejoined and Wolfgang held his own as far as a player but he didn't write those bass lines and he sure as heck can't sing those harmonies. The world has waited a long time for a true VH reunion. Come on guys give us just one tour of the original lineup.
I absolutely agree!!
Blue Eyed Murder
Sorry, not happening.
shantaal
Yeah. They are hippies. Dirty long haired flea ridden lice infested hippies. They need to join the army and learn some discipline. Maybe then these 2 dirty hippys might amount to something.
ProperVillain
EXCELLENT! Most triumphant!
I think lesbeans are gay people that are extra gay. And gay people with long hair.
Who cares? They sucked then....they'll suck now. Eddie Van Halen is the most over-rated guitarist on the planet – all noise and "technique" – no emotion or feeling. Boooooring.
pismire
Over-rated? You're an 1d1ot dude. I'm not a van halen mark, but I will not deny the influence that bad had on many to follow. The original VH was a powerhouse. Eddie's guitar was all about soul. He put his into every song. You're insane if you can't grant him that. A true original / pioneer in the industry. Van Hagar was okay from a technical perspective. A tight sound, well produced, that's about it. Hagar belonged in Montrose. That's where he shined. He was good on his own too. Should never have joned VH. They went mainstream crap rock with him. DLR is the man.
Your right Boo -who needs VH -hey i hear Yah-nee is coming & Kenny G is opening -can't wait !!!
rezchick
EVH is overrated? Ever watched him play Cathedral or Eruption? Rate him on his talent, not on whether or not you "like his personality."
happytam
So happy to hear this. When are they coming to central NY?? I have to get my tickets now. Seriously!!
CENTRAL NEW YORK! Rock on!!!! Anywhere from Jamestown to Albany and I'm there!!
ooops. I thought they were talking about Jon BonJovi. Sorry. All those gay people look alike to me.
@pedro' ramirez II
What the hell is a lesbean?
Fan of David
It is kind of like a limabean but tougher to eat
pedro' ramirez II
or maybe he just acts that way.
Eddie is just sooooo gay though. He is qeeeeeermo gay. Like a lesbean.
bellamorte
Sammy was the worst thing that ever happened to van halen. if michael anthony took his side, then good riddance to him.
DaveSD
Its about timing that is all. Michael Anthony is in another band in which he is under contract for 2 more albums and another tour. That band is Chickenfoot. He doesnt have the time to do an album and a tour. However, the timing for Chad Smith, drummer of Chickenfoot is different. Chad Smith is also the drummer for Red Hot Chili Peppers. Chickenfoot just finished their tour when RHCP went into sessions for their latest album. When they finish their tour next summer, that is when Chickenfoot goes back into the studio. It is all about timing when you are in multiple bands.
what happened to Micheal Anthony?
BriScrye
He took Sammy's side... 🙁
Van Hagar Fan
Wolfgang came of age. Sammy was supposed to be the original front man BEFORE Roth. I remember when he joined and people were all saying "finally – Van Halen has a voice" (Including EVH). I like both versions of the group and if their new album (oops just dated me by saying that) is any good – they should have a great tour. I don't care if they are liberals, I don't care if they are gay, I don't care about what they do off stage – THE MUSIC is what I go to a concert for, not a political agenda. What do all of you go to concerts for?
michael anthony fell out of favor with the whole eddie and alex vs sammy haggar debacle.
Wolfgang u r an idiot. Van Halen formed with Eddie, Alex, Mike, and David long before any of them had ever heard of Sammy Hagar. Hagar did a great job as a stand in, but that is all he ever was. Saw his first tour with them, was incredible! All the old music sounded almost as good as with Roth. The new music? Not so much. There was never supposed to be any other singer than David.
MBach5150
Howie-
Van Hagar Fan is correct. Eddie and Alex were big fans of Montrose (Sammys first band) and did try and kick Dave out and recruit Sammy before the 1st album. They even shared the stage with Sammy in the early 80s.
If you go to http://www.vh.com you can listen to Michael himself say that Eddie did not want him on the 2004 reuinion tour with Sammy Hagar and made him sign some papers limiting his rights to VAN HALEN songs. It had nothing to do with his so called "alliance" with Sammy Hagar. The 2004 tour ended shorter than anticipated because Ed was using and there was infighting between bandmembers. The 2004 tour came about when Roth and Hagar went on tour together and they couldn't get along and that ended abruptly also. Then Sammy called Alex about a reuinion tour over dinner and that's how 2004 came about. Ed wanted Mike out in 2004.
People who know music know that EVH is one of the best guitarist in the world. The best in my book, but that's up for debate. You can call the old has been's if you want but in 2008 they sold out just about every arena while on tour. With a new album coming out in Feb and a tour behind it I am sure it will produce record breaking concert sales. DLR is in pretty good shape and still has the same energy he did back in 1984. Music never dies and =VH= still rocks!
Eddis is sober now, due to serious health issues. Hopefully this will be a good thing. Rock on Van Halen !! true fans stick together
These guy are really good rappers!
I'm so going! I saw them in 1982. AWESOME.
30 years later.........the show won't be nearly as good........trust me. They are old, and have been out of circulation for a while now. So expect an average show if you go. They have to be a bit rusty by now.
JeSuisRacerX
yeah, really ... consider for example: RUSH Age appears to be no barrier for great bands with appreciative fans.
One thing is for sure, Eddie will be drunk for most of the tour, then he'll blame Dave if there are problems.
Eddie's been sober for years-but yes they will probably fight -how do you get along with your brother ?
gemini61
One thing's for sure....YOU deserve a BIG "L" on your forehead.
Eddie's been sober for years...get your info straight or shut up. people talk without any proper information.
Lancester
Stay home you old has beens.....
Yes. "Has been" one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Something none of your little Paddy-Cake, Paddy-Cake Baker's Man idols will ever be.
see you soon Van Halen!
Get'm Dr. Rockso.
They are liberal stooges. Ones that probably much on dooodiecicles.
I am mexican. Ole. I think these 2 gaymiesters will fit nicely together.
JusDav
You are not mexi, no way could you use Meister in such a well derived form if you were Mexi.
C U at the concert peso ramit too
Has been musical hacks. My guess is that the egos involved won't even stick together until the first concert date. Given that they are well known as outspoken liberals, this sort of infighting should only be expected.
Thank you for sharing your stupid comment
I agree with scott!
They may have big egos but they are not young ego driven artists anymore. They are middle-aged business men. Despite personal differences they opportunity to make millions of dollars surpasses all!!!
Yes they are old but Eddie still has more musical talent n his pinky than katy perry,kesha , & lady gag me rolled up into one. You young uns wouldn't know talent if it bit you on the...
Since when do Bieber fans have legit opinions?
TheRealDeal
Sorry your family is all dead, you miserable piece of s**t.
outspoken liberals???
Well...leave it to some uptight, little conservative weasel to throw politics into rock-n-roll. Un-freakin-believable!!
You should go back in your room and finsh listening to your new Bieber CD now.
Maybe someday you too will have a great band that gets back together, wait, none of the groups today have "Bands" because they are so self absorbed they only have themselves.
Typical response from a nobody who is jealous. I would guess you have no life in comparison to the success these guys have had over the past 35 years.
Warren Helms
Everything you said was wrong. Even the liberal part, Eddie is a full on right wing, red neck, nut job. Incredibly talented but full on republican. And i'm not saying all republicans are red neck nut jobs, but Eddie is.
i also agree with scott , and EDDIE YOU ROCK!!!
Winston5
who asked you, tard?
Wow.. I'm sure if you look you can find a Pat Boone, or maybe Glenn Campbell concert. That should be right up your alley.
LET ME SEE THE "OBSERVER" PLAY THE ELECTRIC GUITAR AT 55 YEARS OLD LIKE VAN HALEN STILL CAN DO...SHUT UP
GO VAN HALEN...WE'LL ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL BE THERE....AND THE OBSERVER WILL BE THERE TOO DON'T YOU WORRY
I AGREE WITH SCOTT ALSO...I AM SCARED OF YOU "OBSERVER" ..GET LOST ITS JUST A CONCERT...
HEY OBSERVER....HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAA
JERK.
SHUT UP OBSERVER
THE OBSERVER SOUNDS LIKE A TYPICAL JEALOUS BUSINESS OWNER OF SOME SORT.
I BET THE OBSERVER HAS HIS TKTS ALREADY.
I betcha the observer has his tickets already...haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
DeeNYC
listen you tween, get back to watching sponge bob and leave the adults alone.
Seriously awesome!!!!!!
Van Halen was only awesome with Sammy Haggar. I liked Roth's vocals, but not him, personally.
Not without Sammy.....
Sammy Sucks. There is no Van Halen without David Lee Roth!
David Lee Roth is King! Eddie Van Halen sucks. Eddie should be kicked out bring in Steve Vai and then add Mark Anthony.
drp146
Haven't you heard? Sammy's been abducted by aliens again. Sammy is a good singer, but Van Halen without David Lee Roth would never be anything but second best. Roth is one of the great front men in rock, not the greatest, but certainly among the best. His voice is a big part of what made the band a success in the first place. And Eddie is Eddie, a legendary guitarist for a good reason, he is that good.
i LOVE THE RED ROCKER, i have EVERY ONE of his records. EXCEPT for those with Van Halen. For some reason i dont like him at all with VH. ps y'all Roth lovers have to go to youtube and watch Eat'em and Smile vids with Steve Vai and David with that RIDQlous warror make up. you'll be back in a time machine as soon as it starts. whatta retard. ya gotta lov'em! Peace out haters.
OMG! ROTFLMAO!!!!!! YANKEE ROSE; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9_VIXvCgl8
they'll make some money then they'll kick him out again because he's too annoying and eddie is a control freak. But i do love them together. sammy hagar sucked.
This should be the Super bowl halftime show.....
