Review Summary: Too Much too Soon is a beautiful attempt at trashy, filthy, glam rock. Ideal for anyone who loves punk, Blues or all of the above. The New York Dolls aspired to be The Rolling Stones, and came out as "The Lipstick Killers"; and when they realized that, th

Circa 1973, both The New York Dolls and Aerosmith came out with their self-titled debuts. Both had roaring dual guitars, blues riffs, snarling front men, and an obvious Jagger/Richards influence. When 1974 rolled around, they both released their sophomore albums. "Get your Wings" by Aerosmith, showed that the band had instant longevity; The New York Dolls "Too Much Too Soon", had quite the opposite effect. It first appears as though they had bought you a present, and failed miserably at wrapping their gift. But once inside the box, you see the soul and heart put into this album. The Last Gasp is sometimes the most important.
You will never see it on a list for best albums of all time. Nor will you ever see it as influential, or a stand out album, like the first album was. The Band decided to take a different direction in an attempt to sell more records; by replacing producer Todd Rundgren with Shadow Morton. The Guitars are cleaner, and the distortion is in a lot less abundance, but The Dolls went through a phase of experimentation. They were having a "Personality Crisis" due to the all too well known fact that they were; 1) Before their time, 2) Craved Popularity, that they just didn't have, 3) being pressured by Mercury Records, 4) Were outcasts in the states, for the glam punk they showcased. They were also the grittiest dirtiest glitter rock act, in a genre of high pitched vocals, cocaine, and happy-go-lucky chord progressions; and that was often frowned upon. In the album, the attitude borders sleaziness as the confidence tips over to cockiness. The elation to just be recording can be heard throughout every song. Shadow also decided to hire a group of female back-up singers, just to try to meld to the, almost tragic stereotypes already associated with the band. And though, this may seem to some as the reason why the first album is so much better then the follow up, it actually seems like that uniqueness makes "Too Much too soon" so special. It better personifies the band in general.
The first album was raw blues, over stripped down hard rock; where as the follow up seems more ideal for The New York Dolls over all. The song topics and the music fit and flow more evenly. As far as the music goes; the simplicity and rawness everything seems upon the surface is what heavily inspired punk and hair metal. David Johansen's vocals are very good, but they sound like perfection with the playful and surreal themes of the album. The Illustrious Johnny Thunders and Sylvain Sylvain's relationship is something that every guitarist pair in hard rock should strive for. Though the rhythm is playing power chords, they were power chords inspired by the Blues and Chuck Berry. The Most Beautiful thing about their relationship is their wonderful guitar playing enduringly shines through, even though solos are far and few between ( and when a solo is performed, they go back and forth, in a friendly competition). Arthur Kane was vital, essentially because the most key element to The Dolls sound is the groove. Just the sensation that you feel, that makes you feel the music bleeding through your soul. And Finally, Jerry Nolan is very possibly the greatest drummer ever to walk the face of the planet. His speed and accuracy astounds even the average listener, who notices the drums (that are disappointingly hidden by the guitars and the production) make up for what the guitars can't accomplish. Another Amazing factor to the album is how every member strives constantly to create multifarious uniqueness to their instrument(s).
When I think of this album as a whole, I just imagine them playing a 30-40 minute set, that last for 10 songs, back-to-back, with 5 second long intervals... When you listen to it, you'll believe it to.
1) Babylon- Silence followed by; "Come On Boys!" It sounds as though David Johansen is encouraging the rest of the Dolls to catch up with him, and they do it fast. It announces a desire for attention, which you will instantaneously give. It is about a Man who is suddenly stranded in the middle of nowhere, and who needs to get back to his beloved New York (which acted as a Mecca to The Dolls). Sylvain's small solo in here is still quite impressive and the rhythm section seems to want the spotlight dragged onto them, and do a wonderful job.
Song Rating-4/5
2) Stranded in the Jungle- Babylon Rehashed. Same Story, Drastically Different Perspective. The Rhythm section is amazing, as always. Jerry Nolan never even fathoms that he can miss a beat. Johnny Thunders vocals are slowly blossoming. When I first heard this song, I thought it was upsetting for the New York Dolls. It changed beats; from raw, jungle fever; to girl-group, big city pop. But the more you listen, the more addictive it becomes. A Sardonic Story of a man's Voyage to find his Lover. Superb.
3) Who are the Mystery Girls" - is Hard Rock at it's finest. It was the first dolls song I ever heard, and made me fall in love. The Guitars really shine here, especially the lead parts. Random noises and beeps can be heard in the background, and confuses the *** out of me, but it still holds up fairly well. The Song is ended with a sigh by David Johansen, as though so far, he's worked his ass of.
4) (There's Gonna be a) Showdown- It's kind of a Cheesy Song, but it sounds like a literal challenge. You just have to like it. End of Story.... After the first three songs, it doesn't seem to hold up as far as song writing goes (, it seems as though it was performed spur of the moment in the studio, just to *** with Shadow Morton). But it also plays off the Dolls image. They appear as though they'd shoot up in a hotel room, buy a couple girls a drink, and dance their asses off.
5) It's Too Late- It's the first sign of a Harmonica and/or Blues in general. Sounds like an early Stones jam session/outtake. It's the first song that actually has a negative response... sort of. "How many times must I tell you babe, it's too late!" This is kind of a disappointment that the last song on the A-side gets serious. The Heart of The New York Dolls was Blues though. They were like The Rolling Stones in many ways; but most specifically how they took blues roots, and excavated underground genres, only to find goldmines.
6) Puss N' Boots- Very Possibly the Best Song by the New York Dolls, Hands Down. It was written beautifully; great song topic, great music backing it. The song's about a mob boss, and his associates. Spectacular Sound Effects, with much thanks to David Johansen.
Song Rating: 5/5
7) Chatterbox- Johnny Thunders takes command. Written, Sung, and Played mainly by him, which most likely, convinced him to do the Heartbreakers (his band after the New York Dolls demise). He doesn't solo, but he does lead a very tight, punk ship… (so ironic, but true). It's about a Girl; Johnny Thunders is interested in; most specifically talking to her on the phone all night. Considering its Johnny Thunders and it appears semi-sleazy, it's presumed to be related to phone sex. I mean, if that's your thing, go for it.
8) Bad Detective- The Most Upsetting Song on the Album, truly. It sounds like the band is going to break up in the middle of the song. Why they covered The Coasters, astounds me. But Covers for The New York Dolls are hit or miss. This one was just ok, it kind of drags down the rest. (The Dolls later covered The Shangri Las "Great Big Kiss"(written by Morton), and it was spectacular, easily competing with Puss n' Boots for best song).
Song Rating- 2/5
9) Don't start me Talking- Sounds like an Outtake from the first album, but it still holds up pretty well. One of the examples of good song topics; about a man who doesn't know how to stop telling everyone about all the bad things he sees happening everyday on the streets in New York. It's really like a Public Service Announcement. "Hear Ye, Hear Ye; Prostitution happens in committed relationships all the time. Deal with it."
10) Human Being- The Closer sounds like the roughest song on the album, almost with the appeal of a demo. It has the most growling guitar, barking vocals, worst production, and attitude of any song on the album. Johnny Thunders decides to finally sing to his heart's desire. It's just about Inspirational and Empowering when you crack through the layers of coarseness; and also their most 'Down to Earth' song. Another disappointing point is that sax solo closes the album. If that doesn't spell disaster, I don't know what does.
The Band's tragic termination followed soon after this album. Malcolm Mclauren( who managed them after the production switch; He also later managed The Sex Pistols) along with Internal Conflicts, Drugs, Confusion, amongst Other things dragged the band down fast. As the first punk band, The New York Dolls had to go through everything before anyone else could. Sad to say 'The Lipstick Killers' were the martyr of the genre they discovered. They truly had "Too Much Too Soon" and didn't know what to do with it. They just took what they knew they had and ran with it, and they set off a nice Explosion when they felt they were going to Burn Out. Because, half of everything to the Dolls was Appearance, and they knew they had to go out in Style. And they did.

Very good review, especially for a first. And a much needed review too.
The only thing I noticed was that you randomly put capitol letters and spelt "McLaren" wrong. Also, I don't know about this: "Jerry Nolan is very possibly the greatest drummer ever to walk the face of the planet". Maybe a bit overboard.
I don't have this album, as I can never find it, but like what I've heard from it. Their debut is essential though. This Message Edited On 09.16.06

Sorry 'bout that concderning misspeling his name.
I was questioning myself on the spelling of his name.
I don't know, I may have overrated it a bit, but I do know that he was the greatest musicin in that band. He impresses me moreso then alot of dummers, just because he throws extra beats in there, and shrugs it off well.
He does make up for what the guitars can't hit though.
I advise you get it also.
stinkypoptart
i need some shit by these punks. real cool review man.
As much as I love the Dolls (and believe me, I love them), I've always thought that Too Much Too Soon was the weak link.
Maybe its that there are too many covers, I don't know.
You still have the sleaze-ridden, buzzsaw guitar riffs from Johnny; the album still swaggers and sways with rock'n'roll oozing from its veins, but compared to their debut (and LAMF and So Alone) its just not very good.
Violents
Nice review. I have this on my computer, but it hasn't found it's way to my ears just yet.
MrKite
It sucks so many of them are dead.
The time at which Johnny died was shitty for him because it was like just before he was gonna record his dream album.
I like these guys quite a bit. I got their newest cd and it's pretty good. I definitly want this and their s/t.


I've always been fascinated by the idea of Fashion Week – so many influential people packed into a room, watching straight-faced models storm past in rubber chicken hats or holding their own severed heads. As someone who's not really into fashion, I think my curiosity stemmed more from the exclusivity of it all, and a burning desire to see behind closed doors.
Although runway shows are becoming more accessible to the public, through social media and catwalk live streams, Fashion Week is still for fashion's elite, and no matter how many runway pics you see or shows you watch, you still can't get a true feel for what's behind that red velvet curtain.
Explaining this to my colleagues on the Dazed fashion team, they proposed I find out for myself what it was actually all about – and what it actually entailed was far, far different to what I'd previously imagined.
And so, at the end of my first (and probs only) glimpse into this exclusive world, here's what I learned. Take note.
Losing your Fashion Week virginity is basically more stressful than losing your actual virginity because you have to wear clothes. Working in the same building as LFW HQ, I've seen the crowds that gather and the ensuing photoshoots documenting London's most style-savvy (and also people wearing rubber gloves as headbands), and I. Was. Scared.
As it turns out, though, all the fuss outside is typically kept outside; most people attending fashion week are doing so for work (buyers, journalists etc.), and will often attend a couple of dozen shows in a day – a task you can't really do in a duvet (?!) or head-to-toe in blue paint. There are definitely some lewks, but nothing quite as extreme as I expected. Lesson one = complete. Thank God I didn't wear my condom dress!
This is something I already assumed, but it completely exceeded expectations. The three shows I attended – Ryan Lo, Matty Bovan, and Ashley Williams – were all exciting and eye-opening in their own ways.
In contrast to Lo's unashamedly girly collection, Bovan and Williams separately presented bolder, brighter, punkier collections, and these shows were more like what I expected from LFW – dark room, loud music, bright lights. Plus, I saw Vivienne Westwood in the actual flesh at Matty Bovan's show (swoon).
"People think Fashion Week is glamorous," Ryan Lo told me, "It's not glamorous." Backstage with the designer after his fairytale SS19 show; journalists huddled around him thrusting phones to his face, models undressed in a chaotic, brightly-lit room behind us, and Lo's team shuffled about in headsets guiding rushed attendees to the exit.
Of all the things I learned at LFW, the mundanity of it all was the most shocking. Of course the actual catwalk is exciting, but the event as a whole was so normal that it felt as if I'd been attending my whole life.
The idea of Fashion Week as a larger-than-life party filled with paparazzi, outrageous outfits and an endless stream of celebs (including the Queen… WTF?) might be true for those attending countless after-parties, but for those working in the industry the reality seems to be long hours, comfortable shoes, and lots of travelling between shows.
Another very surprising lesson I learned on my Fashion Week journey is that shows last approximately five minutes. Five minutes! This of course makes sense given there are about 25 looks per show, unless you're Riccardo Tisci, who presented 134 looks as part of his first Burberry collection (but I'm a fashion novice and they wouldn't let me attend Burberry, so let's stick to five mins). Other things that take five minutes include: boiling the kettle, listening to Justin Timberlake's "Rock Your Body", moving two centimetres on a London Thameslink train.
There are downsides to the fashion industry, most of which are well-documented but never seem to change. One of the things I was certain I'd see was a lack of diversity when it came to body shape, and though I wasn't surprised, it doesn't make it any less disappointing to see the same figure strut past you again and again.
After LFW came to a close, I reached out to UK-based plus size model Sonny Turner, who walked in Chromat's NYFW show, who thinks that the catwalk has a responsibility to set an example. "Fashion is changing and people want to see representation," she told me. "High fashion needs to include more plus-sized bodies, then it will filter down into mainstream." According to her, no one at London Fashion Week requested to see any plus-sized models.
Alongside the likes of Chromat and Eckhaus Latta, Rihanna paved the way for fashion's possible future at her NYFW Savage x Fenty show. But it's a shame that, in 2018, this still seems like a radical move.

Love Sarah (DVD)
Stars: Celia Imrie, Rupert Penry-Jones, Shelley Conn, Bill Paterson, Shannon Tarbet, Lucy Fleming, Denise Welch
Director: Eliza Schroeder
As light and airy as a croissant and about as filling, this is the slimmest of feelgood romcoms, kicking off when the title character (Candice Brown) is killed while cycling towards the bakery she had planned to open with longtime best friend Isabella (Conn).
Although Isabella is also Cordon Bleu-trained, Sarah was the chef-in-charge and driving force, and it looks as though the premises will have to be sold.
Meanwhile, Sarah's daughter Clarissa (Tarbet), a budding dancer, is having trouble coping with her mother's death. Walking out of her class and dumped by her boyfriend (Max Parker), she moves in with her grandmother Mimi (Imrie), a former trapeze artist (!), who has inexplicably refused Sarah finance for the bakery, but is now willing to come up with the goods.
The search for a new head baker seems endless, but salvation is at hand, in one of the film's many happenstances, in the form of Sarah's ex (Penry-Jones along for the eye candy), a master baker looking for a new challenge. As if.
And so it goes, with a few humps and bumps along the way, but little to disturb the sugary content of this cinematic comfort food. Imrie, as always, is a pleasure.

If you want to see everything Varna has to offer, there is no better way to do so from behind the wheel of a rental car from Thrifty. Don't spend your time waiting for the bus or hailing taxis to go to the sights. Having your own vehicle enables you to go to the sites you want to see the most, when you want. Make your upcoming getaway to Bulgaria more enjoyable with a Thrifty rental car.
With everything to do in and around , you'll be wanting to take in more than just the area surrounding your hotel while on your stay. Whether you have to have dinner at that latest bistro across town or try some of the local hot spots, you'll need your own vehicle to see and do as much as possible while on your vacation. No matter where you end up staying in , if you wish to get the most out of your time in the city, having access to your automobile is key.
We work with the finest car rental dealers in the world, like Thrifty, because they are known for their successful track record in providing travelers with the best autos. We can help you and your trip get off on the right foot.
How do I find the best deals on a Varna Thrifty car rental?
We try to get you the lowest rates, whether you book. However, getting your car ahead of time can help keep spending low. Be sure to not add an additional driver and read the mileage policy to avoid any surprise fees.
What should I bring with me when I get my vehicle in Varna?
What's Varna's minimum age to rent a car?
Thrifty's minimum age to rent a car in Varna is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles, may have an additional fee if you are under 25. Take time to read through Thrifty's policy to determine what the total cost is before you book.
Is there a particular car I should get for my trip to Varna?
That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what activities you want to do in Varna. Economy or compact cars are ideal for short commutes and are easier to park. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle is going to have enough room for all of you and provide a more comfortable ride on longer drives. Those looking for a bit of luxury on their trip can choose the premium category to get a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.
In Bulgaria you do need to have insurance before you rent a car. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa or American Express, provide some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, they may not cover your rental car if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.
Thrifty does require a deposit when you book your rental. Thrifty will block the deposit on your credit once you book your car for your trip. Please be aware that the deposit may vary greatly based on the model and make of the rental.
At CarRentals.com, we encourage a full to full policy. You receive the car with a full tank, and you will want to refuel up to the amount you picked the car up with. If you want to save some money, it is best to find a filling station before you bring the car back to Thrifty. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
Varna definitely has its charms, but you may want to take to the road after you've checked off all the activities in Varna.
Does Thrifty offer one-way rentals in Varna?
Thrifty typically offers one-way rentals. You may find it more convenient to return your vehicle at another location. However, there may be an additional charge when you choose one-way.

Before you head out of town, book your Thrifty Varna rental car and take off to all the must-do activities at your own pace. Reserve through CarRentals.com and speed along the road in Varna, Bulgaria.


i've been going to physical therapy and that has been helping, although it's a slow process. this is what leads to what the song is about. they use a ultra sound machine, i thought "ultra sound" would make for a cool song title, this machine generates sound waves that are undetectable to the human ear and penetrates deeply through the muscle tissue. it feels like threads of tiny bubbles going into your body, actually feels great.
the last couple days i was feeling better,enough to try and finish this song. mostly just vocals, drums and synth work. and the guitar solo….. i just barely got through that.
it will still be several weeks of being on the mend…… so hopefully i'll be back to doing windmill power chords on the guitar once again.
no art. the arm can't handle it today.
imac, presonus firebox mobile, fender deluxe straocaster & '85 fender contemporay strat, schecter bass, m-audio keyboard, korg monotron, audio technica cond mic.
Man both your guitar and bass have tone to die for here.
Great song! I think that I have a new favorite of yours.
Sorry to hear of your challenges. That must be brutal.
i have 2 bass tracks here. i thought the chorus wasn't heavy enough so i added a bass with over drive.
Man all I can say is the world needs Vic , use allot of epsom salt and keep them fingers flexible I hope things turn around my friend, This sound tops and love every chord !
the first doctor thought it was tendinitis of the rotor cup. the other doctor and phy. therapist believes it's in the neck, a unbalanced disk.
What's up with your arm anyway? Did they say what caused it?
At least it gave you a great idea for a song.
Hope you're on a good road to recovery.
i hasn't been a great month i guess.
I hope all the therapy sorts you out soon.
When I broke my left hand playing sport I started to use the keyboard more so I expect a few synth tracks from you now!
Sorry about the arm Vic. Hope you're better soon. At least it all led to a great track. This one really rocks. I like the techno percussion in the verses and your synth work is excellent. As always, awesome guitars. The solo really shines.
slowly getting better. i was finally able to finish this song off. the percussion, synth and solo were the last additions. i haven't been able to play the guitar for a month.... i was able to do a few passes on the solo before the arms nerves went into a fit.
guitars always sound great Vic and this is a wonderful arrangement. Another fine rock song, I like the synths and percussion.
Sorry to hear about your arm, hope your on the mend soon to do them windmills!
A speedy recovery and so on... maybe the break can be a good thing... try to make the best of the rehab. Great mix and everything going on seems to work on this outing.
Cool song and mix. I feel your pain...have some of my own these days.
Heard you were MIA, but I spotted this awesome tune and knew it wasn't true. Lead guitar rocks on this one!!!
Hope things are soon on the mend, Vic. Hasn't done your music any 'arm... Like this one a lot. The arrangement is spot on and your mix allows it to shine. Ultra good. Take care, Peter.
You always amaze me with the crispness and clarity of your arrangement and how prolific you are and never seem to run out of new musical ideas. This song reverberates with creativity. I have much to learn from you.
You still sound like VH, in spite of the physical opposition you're facing. Great work, wishing you a speedy recovery.
so sorry to hear what you've been through, I hope it all gets better now.
I love the song, I love the mixture of guitar textures with synth, the style of the song is very much VH style I'm used to and I love. Very much enjoyed this.
i appreciate the listen. i actually cut out some guitar parts to make more room for the synth.
Sorry about the injury. Repetitive stress injuries are the bane of musicians & keyboard jockeys alike. If you're both (like you and me) you can easily end up with more then your share.
I had a touch of De Quervain's tenosynovitis and found some hand exercises on the internet to deal with it. I still do those exercises and the symptoms have not recurred. Cool song & best wishes for a continued recovery.
What dose that had to do with his art!
His art is his why do we care that an instrument sounds familiar. Of course they do they're instruments. Leave off with your comments on what's familiar to you and dig the art. It's rather odd that you do this often. You say very little of his accomplishment and much about yours!
Good tune Vic. Very tasty parts. The synth suites the concept ... excellent guitar and bottom. Cool idea ... self experience creates the best tunes.
Excellent my friend. Music heals.
Thank you for this battle cry which gives us an example of how to deal with adversity. You my friend are truly an artist a messenger and example of courage. Such a profound musical performance born from the depths of your life. Thank you my friend!
so sorry to hear about your arm/shoulder vic! must be especially frustrating because it sounds like it just came out of nowhere. i'm glad the PT is starting to help, however way-too-slowly. hang in there - you did a great job on this song, and you're right it's a cool title. terrific song sir - hope you feel better soon!
Powerful backing drives this. Heartfelt lyrics. Love the different tones on the guitars. Good one, Vic!
Love the guitar sound on this Vic.
Has a Bowie style to it. Very much enjoyed. Thanks for sharing!
Sonically interesting, expertly played, well written song. Luscious mix to boot, very good Vic.
Vic feel better Im happy you got this one off, under the skin I can only imagine gripping this song was got lost in it in some spots!
I'm sorry to hear about your arm situation. What does it turn out to be, this pain in the arm thing?
Cool... the beginning caught me off guard. I like the lyrics and guitar sounds. Well done.
Didn't know you were having problems,and it's good to hear that you are on the mend.
I always enjoy your music and this one is no exception...some of the best songs in history are about pain and adversity so it's good that you are working through it....Really enjoyed the listen.
... randomly selected by the front-page, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This has a very raw quality that, of course, isn't raw at all. I'm trying to decide which of my favorite 70's bands this sounds most like.


Who can tow my AVION 32ft from OR to CA??
I need help with a towing service.
I purchased a 32ft AVION, 6200pds that needs towing from Southern OR (medford) to Central CA (Monterey/Big Sur).
Is there anyone out there who could help me?
Caroline, you may have to do some Internet searching and maybe even call the factory, but there are companies that move RV's for a living. Good luck in your quest. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Did you just buy it? Is it roadworthy?
You might also look on ebay, in the resources section (not in the auctions). They used to list some services that could transport vehicles, move trailers, ship freight, and the like.

Please take some time to look at our impact project "Realising the Power of Youth Together: The Stories of #iwill" which looks across the last 7 years at all that we have achieved. It brings together almost 100 voices and experiences of campaign partners and #iwill ambassadors to tell the story of the #iwill campaign to date. What a journey!
Step Up To Serve is closing at the end of 2020, but the #iwill movement has never been more needed. We are building on the achievements over the past seven years and growing the #iwill movement, because our shared values of collaboration, empowerment and inclusion have never been more important. The #iwill movement's collective efforts will be guided by the #iwill Partnership – a new, UK-wide, cross-sector group which met for this first time this week. The #iwill Partnership will ensure the whole movement collaboratively drives progress on the 4 #iwill Impact Goals, upholds the values of #iwill, and supports those making commitments through the Power of Youth Charter to achieve our shared vision.
We are delighted to announce that we will be working with Volunteering Matters and UK Youth to host an independent #iwill Coordination Hub and continue the Ambassador and Champions programme in support of the #iwill Partnership and wider movement.'

Discussion in 'Birds' started by beaucamera, May 3, 2005.
I had to hurry to capture this shot and through the window at that. This mother doe, whose broken leg is now healing, was out showing her little one, "Dice", around the neighborhood. Every year we enjoy the arrival of fawn in the Spring...at least until the discover the tender morsels in the inner areas of our gardens.
That is so Sweet, Virginia.
So how are you liking the 1.7 with the 70-200VR so far?
Frank, when I get results like this through a window, how can one complain? If I have any issues, it is from closer shots. For example, when I'm try to do a floral up close. Sometimes I miss the focal plane because I'm probably too close (...sort of a pun here since my maiden name is CLOSE!) Shots in the distance (340mm) are almost always terrific.
I've had pretty good results with the 1.7 and the 300 2.8. It isn't quite as sharp as the 1.4, but I use it when I need the reach.


Eating two kiwifruit a day can improve a person's mood and give them extra energy, new research from the University of Otago, Christchurch (UOC) shows.
The findings were published recently in the Journal of Nutritional Science. The study was carried out with 54 young male university students who generally eat little fresh fruit and whose vitamin C levels are lower than desirable due to this.

I am trying to save it and develop a visual force page based on it. But I am getting the Compile Error at column 37.
What would be the issue?

A: You can't save two top level classes in one file. Save these classes separately:
JIRA.cls
public with sharing class JIRA
{
    // logic
}

JIRAFetchIssuesController.cls
public with sharing class JIRAFetchIssuesController
{
    // logic
}

A Cavallo is an art car, burning man theme camp and a community of artists based out of Brooklyn, NY. This project started in 2007 and was revived in 2011 to be finished in 2012. The original design was created by engineer Quill Hyde and built by a multitude of friends, artists and other supporters. The final rebuild was done by Quill and his brother Barley Hyde of Hyde Made in 2012.
As a group we produce parties, events, and fundraisers in Brooklyn, NY. The carousel travels in a variety of festivals, street fairs, and public events.
Resurrected, Acavallo now sails the dusty plains of Burning Man every year. In 2012 we were able to visit other festivals for the first time before returning to her resting place in Washington State. Our goal is to bring her to the east coast to continue our reign of playful debauchery.

India's most beautiful, most literate, bans alcohol
August 23, 2014 August 24, 2014 lettersnatcherLeave a comment
Life in Kerala after 6:30 p.m. Half of us prefer to walk straight, the rest are going…going….
I grew up in Kerala, India's most literate, most beautiful, most cynical and most alcoholic state. Half of us walk straight after 6:30 p.m. while the rest prefer being slanted. Over the last few years, most of us prefer being slanted after getting drunk at exactly 6:30 p.m.
Why 6:30 p.m.? This is because a lot of us are jobless (three times the national average) and we have chosen a fixed time of the day to ask our friends about our next drink. Our own, patented and self-created happy hour begins at 6:30 p.m. and we are so knowledgeable that our conversations are not just about local happenings.
We are the most literate in India that we can talk about the Middle East peace process better than the average American who would most likely think that Gaza is an exotic candy. In fact, we can advise Obama on how to solve Syria, deal with Netanyahu (who most of his countrymen won't know) and help him fix most of the world's biggest problems. All, for a drink after 6:30 p.m.
Just to clarify, we are not just the most literate, we are India's most cynical as well. Our mornings are filled with rich content and on average, we religiously read three newspapers and watch over a dozen television channels giving us great insight on what's happening in the world. We are a very literate society, too literate that we have forgotten to understand our own problems.
So, you may ask what is our biggest problem? Well, after 6:30 p.m., a lot of our brothers and sisters have to get drunk. I mean, we think beer and wine are for babies. We prefer pure spirit (60% plus) and adore rum and brandy. In fact, a quarter of our State's revenues (one billion dollars annually) comes from our methodical, disciplined and globally patented consumption of alcohol at 6:30 p.m.
We have made tourists so happy that we bring in more tourism in India than any other state. Our drunken state has created innovations in healthcare so much so that we have lots of hospitals focusing on one organ, the liver.
Drinking is a family affair for us. Our children taste spirit when they are just over 13 and we beat the rest of India here too. Most Punjabi kids begin at 17, but being so literate we have to stay ahead of the game. In fact, we had a nine-year-old get so drunk from his dad's whiskey that he finally died.
I grew up in Kerala and I know a primary reason why the State loves alcohol. The climate, the culture and our exotic cuisine pairs up with any drink in the world. Moreover, we let pseudo-communists and pseudo-capitalists rule us every four years, keeping us in the same drunken state in Olympic years.
Most of our youth are unemployed and they are pampered with remittances from the Persian Gulf or elsewhere. This inflow prompts us to spend on alcohol. And we love the world so much that we have to imitate the West and exceed their expectations on drinking.
I was in Kerala in late June this year and struck up a conversation with a senior police officer. Within ten minutes, he opened up a half drunk bottle of rum saying that he was happy he got his morning fix. And, mind you, the sun had just risen. By 6:30 p.m. he would have gobbled at least six to ten shots as a warm up to his sunset in God's own country.
Irrespective of gender and social strata, Keralites have started taking to alcohol so much that hospitals are flooded with people facing health issues from grapes in their livers (cirrhosis) to depression and suicidal tendencies. Finally, our government has woken up and has started a phased ban on alcohol.
Our media actively promotes it but after 6:30 p.m., sadly, most of our TV personalities who preach the ban can be seen in an underground dungeon of the Trivandrum Press Club sipping whiskey and club soda.
Call us alcoholic. But we are the most beautiful, most literate…going…going…most slanted!

Bears offense sputters and Chicago falls behind the Pack in 10 to 3 season opener loss
The Bears defense looks as good as we could have hoped, but the offense falls short of even mediocre expectations in the Bears home opener
By Patti Curl@OpinionBear Sep 5, 2019, 10:29pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Bears offense sputters and Chicago falls behind the Pack in 10 to 3 season opener loss
Quinn Harris-USA TODAY Sports
The first time the Packers played the then Decatur Staleys, they were brutalized in a decisive 20 to 0 shutout. Presumably at that time, all of the future Bears players were the size of our current mascot, Staley Da Bear, and the Packers were a hodgepodge of mere mortals that the Bears took pity on.
100 years later, the defense is still dominating the pitiful Pack. The offense didn't do their part.
If you have some reason you want to see the box score. It's here.
Trubisky knocking the crap out of some rust
Trubisky clearly had some off-season rust which he expertly knocked off with some early poor decisions and questionable mechanics. This was smart to do against a lesser team like the Packers who weren't able to take advantage of this with any takeaways. Unfortunately, he didn't get it all off in the first half and ended up throwing an actual interception at a very inopportune time in the final two minutes of the game.
Mike Pettine dials up a storm
Pettine clearly bought a subscription to 1-800-blitzin because he was calling all kinds of fancy plays against the Bears poor offense just when they were trying to get their early-season footing. So rude. The Packers defense overall looked annoyingly sharp. Good for them, I guess.
Anyone who predicted Roquan for a big year looks smart right now
Roquan Smith started the Bears season with two tackles for a net loss and continued to be a major player in multiple defensive stops throughout the game. Anyone who named him the Bears rising star is looking smart right now.
Roy Robertson-Harris is the poster child for Bears defensive depth
RRH started the game very strong with an early sack and tackle for loss. He's an afterthought when you list the Bears defensive talent, but if he keeps making big plays against the Packers, he's going to up that profile quickly. This defense is truly an embearassment of riches.
David Montgomery: Good Bear
It turns out good vision and the ability to break tackles is valuable in the NFL as well as college football. The Bears are at least starting out with a heavy committee approach, but Montgomery looks like he fits right in against NFL starters and he's already shown some chops in the passing game that the great Jo Ho couldn't offer. Good Bear.
Deon Bush: Bad Bear
I'm generally a fan of Deon Bush, but giving up a touchdown on opening night to octogenarian tight end Jimmy Graham is unacceptable
I didn't expect Coh Coh to have the first game jitters
I guess it happens to the best of them. Tarik Cohen got away with a fumbled handoff on the first play due to a bizarre-but-I'll-take-it holding penalty on defensive tackle Kenny Clark. He also made a couple poor decisions in punt returns. I'm not worried he'll turn it around. It's just a curious development.
The Bears really unleased Cordarrelle Patterson on...
Himself?
Leonard Floyd must have half of his career sacks on Aaron Rodgers
Which makes him worth every penny of the draft capital invested in him. Also, I didn't actually do the math. Don't come at me with facts at a time like this.
Pineiro knows how to keep us on our toes
Sure, he'll nail the first field goal attempt. That was a must. But Eddy Pineiro had to do something to keep us on the edge of our seats and landing the following kick off out of bounds was just enough to keep us from exhaling that sigh of relief. Let the kicker drama continue as long as possible.
Call me petty
But it's nice to see some holding penalties called against Packers' offensive linemen. David Bakhtiari in particular has a lot of penalty debt to pay and I'm glad to see he's getting started.
Nothing like a 1st and 40
The refs felt compelled to even out the penalties in the 4th quarter. My feeling is they should have tried to keep at least one fan base happy. Apparently that's not their MO.
Adrian Amos finally figures out how to get an interception
Too little too late boo boo.
Allen Robinson is a super stud
Also on every one of my fantasy teams. Anyone who didn't know before should be updated after this prime time showing.
If you're reading this, our Beloved Bears have lost their season opener to the pompous Packers. I'm writing this before the game because I know that if such circumstances are to transpire, I will not be in any state to provide insight or levity. Last year, the Bears used the devastating week one loss to their insufferable rivals as motivation throughout their division-winning 12 and 4 season. They certainly have all the potential to do that again. Week one is unpredictable and it's a long season. The main outcome of this game is that lazy fans and national pundits who assume the Bears will regress this year can go on believing that until they surprisingly notice them clinching a playoff seed. We'll be subject to countless ignorant opinions during that period. But we're used to that. We'll survive.

North Vancouver's Nomad Vanz coveted around the world
Couple creates custom vehicles to take travellers far off the grid
By Andy Prest / North Shore News

Photo courtesy Nomad Vanz
VAN LIFE Out of the Blue is one of the custom creations of North Vancouver's Nomad Vanz, a company that takes the empty shell of a Mercedes Sprinter van and converts it into a dream vehicle for off-the-grid travel.
North Vancouver couple Christina Yau and John Syslak were used to getting special attention every time they crossed the Canada-U.S. border in the custom travel van they built for themselves more than 10 years ago.
Border agents almost always pulled them aside to take a closer look. It didn't, however, have anything to do with the people in the van or any fresh produce they may have been taking across the border. It's just that the border guards couldn't help themselves from taking a moment to have a look inside that sweet, sweet van. One border guard in particular was blown away by the custom van, which the couple called Casablanca.
"I see a lot of RVs, I see a lot of buses and things-I have never seen anything like this," Yau recalls the guard telling them. "You guys should start a company doing this."
That one comment may not have been the exact moment that launched Nomad Vanz, but it was a big one in a series of events that set Yau and Syslak on their current course, which now has them making some of the most coveted custom vans in the world.
It all started with the couple's decision to build Casablanca so that they could get off the grid.
"We've always been active in the outdoors and we wanted a vehicle that we could travel out of and also carry all our gear," says Yau. "We really designed the van for travelling with sports gear, from windsurfing to skiing to mountain biking and road biking. We travelled all over with it."
Everywhere they went, people raved about how cool Casablanca was. An employment change for Yau led them to take some time off and see the world. The couple carried their van passion with them, first to Australia and then Europe, purchasing smaller vans in each location to get off the grid and explore uncharted territories. This served as a van education for them, as they took what they learned from all those excursions and brought it home to North Vancouver where Nomad Vanz was born. The basic concept is that customers buy a bare bones Mercedes Sprinter van and bring it to the folks at Nomad, who in their North Vancouver shop do a complete overhaul inside and out, tailoring the vehicle to the client's wildest desires.
"They all start as an empty box," says Yau. "We customize everything you see. All the interior, all the electrical and mechanical, all the exterior accessories, any modifications, any suspension upgrades-we do all of that."
The company now employs approximately 10 people, who work through approximately 20 full conversions per year with several more partial conversions as well.
"We are 100 per cent custom," says Yau. "It's kind of like building your dream house. We build people's dream vans.
"Our esthetics and our looks are different than other van builders in that I like modern esthetics and we like bright colours. A lot of our clients come to us because of our esthetics."
It's not just shiny objects and bright colours, though-there's also a lot of world-leading technology going into these vans. The latest showpiece for Nomad is called Yabba Dabba Doo, built on the latest Sprinter van platform and unveiled last month at the Overland Expo in Flagstaff, Arizona.
The van features a fully integrated control centre that links all systems to a Bluetooth-enabled touchpad. There's an industry-first counter-mounted freezer, a unique draw-bridge bed that maximizes space, as well as Nomad's nifty rain closet, a shower located just inside the van's side door that allows water to flow down through a rain pad in the floor.
Nomad also makes use of a commercial aluminum fuel tank, which essentially doubles the vehicle's range. One tank of gas can potentially take the van more than 1,200 kilometres. That freedom to get way off the grid is what makes overlanding, as it's called, so appealing, says Yau. She and Syslak recently completed a three-day adventure tour that took them from the rim of the Grand Canyon in the deserts of Arizona up into the mountains, where they comfortably drove through sleet and whiteout snow.
"To just be in very remote areas but have everything with you-unless you experience it, you don't get it until you actually try that," says Yau. "You've got your bed, you've got your fridge, you've got your seat, you've got your hot water and cold water and you have all your food cooked up, but you're in a remote area-that is the moment that everybody gets when they realize the freedom they have when they go in a van."

Is the latest version GB WhatsApp APK is Safe to Use?
The answer of this question is "Maybe". The GB WhatsApp users are not getting banned which means that the app is not violating the main values of the official WhatsApp so, it will let the users keep using it. Therefore, if the users are getting banned it does not mean that it is totally safe and does not have any risks in it.
Therefore, it is considered that any modded app is not potentially safe and in many cases. The things the users can use those things which came to them without paying for it but there are many things which come with the hidden costs and in the cases like this, the users will not understand what has been placed in the app. For example, they might have come to spy on the user and they can do that because the user have given all the information already. The user has shared all the relevant information that is required in spying on them and the user has given the permission to access their microphone, storage, contacts with pictures and many more things.
It is for sure that the official Whatsapp can do the similar things but as they are the company, they are held to a higher degree of accountability for whatever they do. WhatsApp has already built a brand which protects its users by providing them the high privacy settings.
Those who are looking for GB Whatsapp iPhone will definitely get disappointed as the GB Whatsapp apk is not available for the iPhone till now. But it is there for the Android Users and they can use the super cool features which are updated with new and upgraded functions. The Android users will get the opportunity of getting this wonderful experience of using this latest version GB WhatsApp APK in their devices.

Cage Side with Christopher James
MMA Gets The Presidential Seal Of Approval At UFC 244, Yes It's A Big Deal
November 3, 2019 by Christopher James
If only for a moment, I would like everyone to suspend their political beliefs and affiliations and think about the fact that the sitting President of the United States of America is attending a UFC event for the very 1st time in the history of the organization, and of course the Presidency of the United States!
The man that is considered to be the leader of the free world is sitting in New York City right now at the side of the octagon watching mixed martial arts!
Think about this for a minute, a little over 25 years ago we were hardly able to get any state or government leaders to sanction mixed martial arts fighting. Our beloved sport that those that have watched or been involved from the beginning knew was a legitimate form of combat and If given the chance to show everybody just how beautiful it could be, they would fall in love with it like so many of us did from the beginning.
Labeled by some as human cockfighting, it was their ignorance and their lack of willingness to see what it was all about that gave the sport a bad name by people who had the power to not allow it, even though they knew nothing about it because they were unwilling to invest a little time into it.
Today after many battles with state, local and federal authorities mixed martial arts is now legal in all 50 States. The rules have evolved to make it as safe as possible for those that compete, and there are constant evolutions and innovations that continue to make their way into the sport to keep it competitive, exciting, and again as safe as possible for these dedicated and talented athletes.
Tonight, President Donald Trump gave mixed martial arts, and all those involved the respect and credibility so rightfully deserved. This is by far the biggest support from our government ever!
I've always been proud of my association and work in the sport of mixed martial arts. I've always believed in the sport and the fighters. Tonight there's a little more pride swelling up inside me because I watched our sport shine on the biggest sports stage possible, ESPN, and the President of the United States Donald J. Trump, who has always been an advocate for MMA was able to truly give the respect and honor to the sport and those that compete in it.

The Praetutii were an ancient Italic tribe of central Italy. They are thought to have lived around Interamnia (or Interamna), which became modern Teramo, and to have given their name to Abruzzo. The ancient accounts, however, are substantially confused, when it comes to more precise location and details.

Sources

We have no account of the origin of the Praetutii, or how they differed from the Picentes. The chief city of the Praetutii was Interamna, called for distinction's sake Interamna Praetutiana. They occupied a district of Picenum, bounded by the river Vomanus (modern Vomano) on the south and apparently by the stream called by Pliny the Albula on the north; but the Albula cannot be identified with certainty, and the text of Pliny may be corrupt as well as confused. He appears to place the Albula north of the Truentus (modern Tronto); but it is certain that the Praetutii did not extend as far to the north as the latter river, and it is probable that the stream now called the Salinello was their northern limit. The editors of the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition, citing Pliny iii. 110, place the tribe's northern limit at the Tessinnus (another unidentified hydronym).

The Ager Praetutianus is mentioned by Livy and Polybius, as well as by Pliny, as a well-known district, and Ptolemy even distinguishes it altogether from Picenum, in which, however, it was certainly generally comprised. But the name seems to have continued in general use, and became corrupted in the Middle Ages into Prutium and Aprutium, from whence the modern name of Abruzzo  is generally thought to be derived.

Ptolemy also assigns to them the town of Beregra. And the editors of the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, based on their interpretation of Pliny's text assign the towns of Castrum Novum and Truentus to the tribe.  Pliny mentions the Ager Palmensis in close connection with the Praetutii; but this appears to have been only a small district, which was celebrated, as was the Praetutian region generally, for the excellence of its wines.

English » Basic Legal Information » Employment and Unemployment » Unemployment Insurance » Redetermination letter- No Misrepresentation?
Did you get a letter from Department of Unemployment Assistance that says that your "overpayment was not due to a misrepresentation of facts"?
If you got this letter, the Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA) decided a while ago that the Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits you got were because of a "misrepresentation of facts." They said that you must pay the UI money back with 12% interest.
The letters the DUA just sent out, like the one above, say the DUA was wrong to say you misrepresented facts. Now, the DUA says they will not charge you interest on the amount of benefits you need to pay back.
If you got this letter and would like help in understanding your situation, contact Margaret Monsell at Massachusetts Law Reform Institute, [email protected] or (617) 357-0700. If you can, please email before you call. Provide as much detail as you can about your letter.
