Judas Priest: Still Defending the Faith with Expanded Re-Issue of Classic 1984 Album
Tags: Defenders of the Faith, judas priest, rob halford
HEAVY DUTY: The expanded reissue of Judas Priest's "Defenders of the Faith" album includes a remastered version of the original 10-track studio recording, a bonus 21-track concert recording from the ensuing tour and retrospective liner notes.
HELLBENT FOR PRIEST: My San Antonio concert stub.
By Metal Dave
Compared to my other youthful offenses, lying to my parents so I could attend my first Judas Priest concert is practically cute today. Seriously. Just ask my Mom.
The year was 1984. My co-conspirator was my younger sister who — despite a mighty showing by the storming Priest (and a hungry Great White) — would somehow prove immune to the seductive corruption of heavy metal concerts. Hey, I tried!
Now, some 31 years after telling Mom and Dad I was spending the night at a friend's house, Judas Priest has re-released an expanded version of 1984's "Defenders of the Faith" album. For obvious reasons, I always think of this album as a guilty pleasure, but not in the same sense as Bon Jovi or Apple Jacks. I also consider "Defenders" to be Judas Priest's last truly classic album.
Studded with such soon-to-be, fan-favorites as "Freewheel Burning," "Jawbreaker," "The Sentinel," "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll" and "Love Bites," "Defenders of the Faith" proved a formidable follow-up to Priest's now-classic 1982 breakthrough album, "Screaming for Vengeance." For added good measure, "Defenders" also contained "Night Comes Down" (a personal favorite), the Tipper Gore panty twister, "Eat Me Alive," and cover artwork by "Screaming" artist Doug Johnson (who also did JP's 1986 album, "Turbo"). Now newly remastered by celebrated Priest producer Tom Allom, the reissued 10-track "Defenders" boasts added muscle and might.
Reissues, of course, almost always need to sweeten the cake and this is where "Defenders" redux delivers a goodie. Recorded live at Long Beach Arena on the 1984 "Defenders" tour, the added 21-track, two-disc concert is must-have nostalgia. I mean, how can you possibly go wrong with a Priest concert that backtracks from 1984? Exactly! You can't.
The audio is a bit bottom-heavy in places and "Desert Plains" loses some of its vibe because it's played too fast, but it's impossible to numb the exhilarating rush of "Grinder," "The Sinner," "Victim of Changes," "The Green Manalishi (with the Two-Pronged Crown)," "Hellbent for Leather" and "You've Got Another Thing Coming" mixed with then-new tracks from "Defenders." And hey, do I even need to remind you there are few greater pleasures in all of heavy metal than hearing Rob Halford singing live at his peak? If so, please retire your black leather jacket.
As for the packaging, "Defenders" gets an embossed variation of the original artwork, period photos, liner notes from both band and my fellow/former Metal Edge magazine scribe, Bryan Reesman (whose liners have been previously blessed by the Priest) and a humorous retelling of the time when Priest fans uprooted and started tossing the seats at Madison Square Garden leading to a lifetime ban and $250,000 in damages (or upgrades if we're telling the truth).
The reissued "Defenders" follows 2012's beautifully reissued "Screaming for Vengeance," which added bonus tracks and a live recording of Judas Priest's monumental 1983 US Festival performance. Pair both alongside last year's excellent new studio album, "Redeemer of Souls," and the recent output of Judas Priest makes for a welcome series of high notes.
* Overall Grade: A-
* Favorite Tracks: "Night Comes Down," "The Sentinel," "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll"
* For Fans of: Definitive heavy metal, living after midnight, black leather

Horde/IMP is known to work quite well with Mail::Toaster. Many folks install, use, and love it. However, it is not a "supported" feature of Mail::Toaster. This is for a variety of reasons, notably security and reliability. The Mail::Toaster is designed to be a trouble-free, easy to use system and the Horde/IMP combination requires vigilant maintenance to keep it functioning securely. For these reasons, it is not recommended or supported.
However, if you absolutely must have it, you are encouraged to install it and hang out on the Horde/IMP support lists and be ready to become quite familiar with it as you spend a significant amount of time keeping it updated.

Das Naturschutzgebiet Wakenitzniederung ist ein rund 297 Hektar großes Naturschutzgebiet in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern südwestlich von Schönberg bei Herrnburg. Es liegt vollständig in der Gemeinde Lüdersdorf im Landkreis Nordwestmecklenburg. Die Unterschutzstellung erfolgte am 20. April 1990 mit dem Ziel, einen Ausschnitt eines vermoorten Flusstals – der Wakenitz – mit Torfstichen und der Herrnburger Binnendüne als Lebensraum für gefährdete Tier- und Pflanzenarten zu erhalten. Der aktuelle Gebietszustand wird als gut angesehen.

Ein kleiner nördlicher Teilbereich des Naturschutzgebietes gehört auch zum FFH-Gebiet DE-2130-302 Herrnburger Binnendüne und Duvennester Moor, das noch andere Flächen umfasst. Ein kleiner südlicher Teil des Naturschutzgebiets befindet sich im Biosphärenreservat Schaalsee. Direkt angrenzende Naturschutzgebiete sind im Süden das NSG Kammerbruch und im Westen das schleswig-holsteinische NSG Wakenitz.

Grünes Band
Das Naturschutzgebiet ist aufgrund der für mehrere Jahrzehnte abgeschiedenen Lage an der innerdeutschen Grenze heute Teil des sogenannten Grünen Bandes. Die Naturschutzgebiete im Bereich des Grünen Bandes in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern sind (von Nord nach Süd) im Biosphärenreservat Schaalsee die NSG Wakenitzniederung, Kammerbruch, Campower Steilufer, Kiekbuschwiesen bei Neuhof, Mechower See, Goldensee, Techin, weiterhin die NSG Wallmoor, Pipermoor/Mühlbachtal, Stecknitz-Delvenau sowie im Naturpark Mecklenburgisches Elbetal die NSG Elbhang "Vierwald", Elbdeichvorland, Rüterberg, Binnendünen bei Klein Schmölen und Löcknitztal-Altlauf.

The Bosjes Estate in Breedekloof has welcomed the start of September with the launch of their six unique house wines.
Since opening in March 2017, the estate has become a must-visit destination in the Cape – with its architecturally iconic Bosjes Chapel and a restaurant serving country-side flavours.
The farm has launched their own house wines that have been sourced from exceptional surrounding wineries in the Breedekoof area.
The mastermind behind the selection of wines is Cape wine specialist Allan Mullins, because of his experience in the blending of wines.
A wine packed with blackcurrants and black olive to provide a velvet feel. The added chocolate and wood spice flavours add depth to the red house wine. It can be paired with a slow-cooked lamb and steak.
Flavoured with raspberry, ripe plum, mulberry and black cherry notes, offering both red and black flavours. It can be served with an oxtail or lamb shank casseroles.
With flavours of passion fruit, gooseberry balanced by grapefruit and lime, the Sauvignon blanc white wine can be paired with fresh salads or seafood.
The breedekloof valley is known for their Chenin Blanc – with delicious peach and apricot notes. It can be paired with poultry dishes or lightly spiced curry dishes.
The six house wines vary in cost from R90 to R150 per 750ml bottle and are only available on the farm.
The Bosjes Estate is undergoing developments and plans to provide more facilities for visitors as an addition to their existing guesthouse, chapel, restaurants and tea garden that converts to an amphitheatre.
Restaurant manager of Bosjes Kombuius, Carlen Vorster, shared that a primary school is in the works as the Estate intends to develop the local community and will cater for a number of students.
A vegetable garden will be grown at the school and provide the Bosjes Kombuis with their own fresh vegetables.
"We want to work with the school through purchasing fresh goods from a vegetable garden that the school will grow as part of its internal development program," she said.
The estate plans to grow their garden and create a woodland haven.
"The gardens will be extended and completed by 2020 to connect the chapel to the restaurant creating a woodland area by using yellow wood and endemic wood species along with a deli and a shop" Vorster explained.
In addition to the 5km and 12 km hiking-trial for guests, a selection of animals that have been added to the property.
It allows individuals to get closer to nature in the area and offers a unique experience with wildlife.
"We really want you to encounter animals while you are on the hiking trails, the blue wildebeest and zebra come down during the early mornings," she explained.
Bosjes Estate is an elegant vineyard and must-visit location in the Cape.

14 Live Television Events That Had Us Glued To Our Screens
Melissa Sartore
Updated October 12, 2021 • 8:08am PDT 13.3k votes 1.1k voters
List RulesVote up the live television events that you dropped everything to watch.
Media coverage of events has definitely changed over time, transitioning from much-delayed reporting to instant access to real-time happenings. Regular programming is one thing (penciling in Must-See TV and getting out of bed for Saturday morning cartoons were priorities, to be clear), but live television is a different animal.
Live TV can hit the airwaves suddenly. Coverage of an earthquake or accident tears you away from what you were watching, essentially transporting you to an exciting or tragic event as it actually unfolds. Other live television programs are, more or less, scheduled. Weddings, funerals, and other major life events that involve well-known figures are often broadcast for the world to see.
Several live television moments stand out, for one reason or another, because they brought the television world to a standstill. Some tragic, some triumphant - but all enthralling. Vote up the ones that had you glued to the television screen, unable to look away.
Coverage Of 9/11 Events (2001)
When the first airplane flew into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, many of the morning television shows based in New York City immediately cut to cover the event. As the second plane collided, live coverage was well underway.
Continued coverage of the events in New York was soon accompanied by reports from Washington, DC, about the attack on the Pentagon and about the plane that came down in Pennsylvania.
Onlookers watched as the two towers of the World Trade Center collapsed a few hours later, and stayed in front of their televisions for days as rescue and recovery efforts got underway.
Did you watch?
Princess Diana's Funeral (1997)
The sudden death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in a car incident on August 31, 1997, left the world stunned. One week later, her funeral was held in London.
A procession carrying Diana's coffin traversed a path from Kensington Palace to Westminster Abbey began around 9 a.m. local time. Television coverage broadcast it around the globe, while thousands of people lined the streets to pay their respects.
Once the procession arrived at Westminster Abbey, Diana's family and friends gathered to attend her service, which started at 11 a.m. and was viewed by an estimated 2.5 billion people worldwide.
The OJ Simpson Car Chase (1994)
On June 17, 1994, O.J. Simpson crouched down into the back seat of a white Ford Bronco as the driver and owner of the vehicle, Al Cowling, drove down the freeways of Southern California. Simpson had recently become a suspect in the murder of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman.
The chase lasted about an hour and was captured on video by news helicopters. Live coverage preempted the NBA Finals game that was in progress at the time. It's estimated 95 million people watched the chase.
Simpson, who claimed to have a gun, was detained after the Bronco finally stopped at his home around 9 p.m. that night.
Actress Mara Wilson, who was a child at the time, recalled the aftermath of the chase:
It became a joke way too quickly. In my hometown (mostly lower-middle-class white, Latino, and Asian), we seemed not to think of the racial implications, just of the media circus. People in L.A. had bumper stickers that said, "I saw the White Bronco," and kids dressed up as Marcia Clark and Johnnie Cochran for Halloween. My father worked as an engineer at the local cable affiliate that covered the trial, and my 2-year-old sister would point at the logo on his sweatshirt and say, "Sim-sim trial!"
The Space Shuttle 'Challenger' Launch And Explosion (1986)
When the space shuttle Challenger launched on January 28, 1986, seven crew members were aboard, including Christa McAuliffe, a teacher from New Hampshire who'd won the Teachers in Space contest in 1985.
After nearly a week of weather delays, Challenger lifted off at 11:38 a.m. local time, and 73 seconds later, began to break into pieces. Millions of people watched as the shuttle came apart while hundreds stood helpless on the ground below.
None of the crew survived, it took weeks to recover the detritus, and an investigation revealed that technical issues and decision-making errors contributed to the disaster.

To submit an application to SARB, complete the Exchange Control Application form below. This must be accompanied by a copy of the signed loan agreement between the borrower and the lender, which must be emailed to [email protected]. For more information, call 021 809 4501 or 0860 66 77 09.
We cannot facilitate or receive payments for imports and exports or related transactions.
Funding international forex trading accounts through the Internet with your Global One card is not permissible in terms of Exchange Control Rulings and any proceeds received from such accounts will be subject to approval by the Financial Surveillance department of SARB. The timeframe for the applications to SARB is about 6 – 8 weeks and costs R893.85.
Clients who use their transaction/savings accounts for business reasons or our salary transfer facility for bulk salary transfers may not use their accounts to receive any international transactions in favour of the business name. All transactions received in favour of salary transfer clients and in business names will be returned. Ensure that the transfers are done to authorised dealers who have been authorised to process these payments.
Please do not send these payments to your Capitec Bank account.
We do not pay money abroad.
Receive money locally or internationally directly to your Global One debit Mastercard® through Mastercard® MoneySend™. The money will be available in your account within 30 minutes of approval.
The SWIFT code for Capitec Bank is CABLZAJJ.
We may not receive international payments directly from banks outside South Africa. When a payment is made from outside South Africa to a Capitec Bank account, the foreign bank will need to make the payment through its rand correspondent bank in South Africa, normally Absa, First National Bank, Nedbank or Standard Bank who in turn will forward the credit to us. We are not authorised to trade in foreign currency and as such may not negotiate any conversion rates. The correspondent bank will automatically convert the foreign currency and transfer the rand value to us.
The Balance of Payments category must be confirmed with you before the money can be credited to your account. This confirmation can only be confirmed with the accountholder; therefore, supplementary cardholders or holders of a power of attorney may not make the declaration on behalf of the accountholder.
When the paying bank completes the payment message they must use the "CABLZAJJ" SWIFT code to identify Capitec Bank as the destination bank. It is important that CABLZAJJ must be populated in field 57A ("Account with Institution") by the paying bank. This means that any bank that's part of the "chain" to transfer the money will then know the money must be sent to Capitec Bank in South Africa.
The paying bank may also ask for an IBAN number. South Africa does not use IBAN numbers but if the sending bank insists on an IBAN number, you can use your Capitec Bank account number (e.g. 1234567890) and the Capitec Bank branch code (always 470010) to create a number that can be used as a substitute for the IBAN. For example: the substitute IBAN could be 1234567890470010.
If you are expecting money from abroad or you will be sending money from abroad to your own account, please ensure that you have updated your contact details, including an email address if available. If we cannot contact you within 30 days, the money will be returned to the sender. To update your details, visit your nearest Capitec Bank branch.
Capitec bank is required by law to obtain certain international tax information from all our clients. The information will be reported to the relevant countries through the South African Revenue Services (SARS) based on the United States Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Common Reporting Standard for the Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information. New and existing clients are required to confirm all countries other than South Africa where they are a resident for tax purposes or liable to pay tax. Clients must provide their tax identification number for the listed countries. If you are unsure of any information, please contact a professional tax consultant.
According to the Currency and Exchanges Manual of SARB, any money received from abroad must be declared before it may be credited to your account. The declaration of the money can only be made by the accountholder before the account is credited and not by a third party, so supplementary cardholders or holders of a power of attorney may not make the declaration on behalf of the accountholder.
All clients receiving international payments must be FICA compliant and ensure that their personal information is up to date on the bank's records; this includes address information, contact details and permit numbers. The information is compulsory for the Balance of Payments reports and will also reduce delays in processing the inward payments.
Note: the beneficiary name in the payment must reflect your name as per your identity document or passport in the case of foreign nationals. Payments may not be processed if a different name reflects as the beneficiary in the payment and could result in the payment being returned.
SARB implemented the more comprehensive Financial Surveillance (Finsurv) System for Balance of Payments reporting in August 2013. This added new categories to the Integrated Balance of Payments form and the Standing Instruction and Indemnity form.
Category 401 must be used to declare gift payments from non-residents. The Standing Instruction and Indemnity form can only be filled in for gift payments where the same amount (in ZAR or foreign currency) is received on a monthly/fortnightly/quarterly basis. The Amount, Frequency and End Date fields must be filled in.
Category 308 may only be used if you are receiving rental income from a non-resident tenant who is for example renting a property either in South Africa or abroad. This category may not be used for South African resident working abroad and transferring money to pay the rent or bond, or for a South African resident receiving a financial assistance from a non-resident to help pay rent locally.
Pension payments are category 407.
Alimony, maintenance and financial support use category 410.
Category 307 can be used.
If you receive money from abroad, we will contact you for the payment reason and other related information to complete the transaction. You will need to complete the Integrated Balance of Payments form. Download, print and complete the form; then email the completed form to [email protected] or fax it to 0860 88 88 15.
If you're going to be receiving money regularly for the same reason (i.e. salary) from abroad and wish to have this money credited to your account automatically, complete the Standing Instruction and Indemnity Form. Download, print and complete the form; then email the completed form to [email protected] or fax it to 0860 88 88 15. The Standing Instruction form remains valid until you have cancelled it in writing. Note: the sender of the money must match the sender on the form to release the funds.
If you're going to be receiving a foreign loan from abroad, download, print and complete the form below. Forms and the formal loan agreement between you and the lender must be emailed to [email protected] or faxed to 0860 88 88 15.
The local correspondent banks facilitate payments to our clients from abroad. These payments, where necessary, will be converted to rand before being deposited. Capitec Bank is responsible to submit the Balance of Payments report on your behalf to SARB for the international transactions.
All foreign currency denominated payments will be converted into rand when money is received at the telegraphic transfer buying rate of exchange as quoted by relevant correspondent bank's system at the time of processing.
The bank or person paying money into your Capitec Bank account must make a SWIFT payment to one of the local correspondent banks for further credit to Capitec Bank. The payment requires specific information, which is indicated below.
The foreign bank must use the local bank's SWIFT code in the Receiver and Intermediary Institution fields and Capitec Bank's SWIFT code (CABLZAJJ) only in the Account with Institution field to reduce the risk of delayed and returned payments. The money must preferably be paid in South African Rand (ZAR).
Ensure that we have your latest contact details. If we can't contact you within 30 days, the money will be returned to the sender. Costs for the return of money will be for the sender's account. To update your details, visit your nearest Capitec Bank branch. See the table below for more information and an example of the proposed SWIFT message.
The cost associated with payments from abroad will be deducted by the processing bank(s) from the value received before it is credited to your account (the beneficiary) unless otherwise indicated in the payment instruction.
Fees for international payments cannot be determined or quoted before the payment being received due to the number of other banks that might be involved to make the payment to Capitec Bank.
Certain Balance of Payments categories may require that the Financial Surveillance department of SARB give their approval and authorisation in terms of the Currency and Exchanges Manual of SARB before such transactions and/or payments may be executed. The timeframe for the applications to SARB is about 6 – 8 weeks and costs R893.85 – R1 500 to process, payable in advance.
Since we depend on a number of local banks to process these international payments, we can't guarantee the exact clearing times.
Payments from abroad normally take 3 – 7 working days from the time that the money is sent. If the sender or the foreign bank provides the authorised dealer in South Africa with too little account information, the transaction will take longer and could even be returned.
It is important that our SWIFT code (CABLZAJJ) be included in field 57A of the SWIFT payment instruction as this helps automate the processing of the payment. If it's not included, the payment will be returned to the sending bank as an invalid payment instruction.
Returned payments could incur fees and these cannot be determined or quoted due to the number of local and foreign banks involved in the payment. The fees will be deducted from the value of the payment.

Art All Night shooting: What we know, what we don't
A quick summary of the Art All Night shooting in Trenton.
Art All Night shooting: What we know, what we don't A quick summary of the Art All Night shooting in Trenton. Check out this story on northjersey.com: https://njersy.co/2MzzJGs
Irwin M. Goldberg,, NorthJersey Published 2:15 p.m. ET June 17, 2018
A police officer stands in a lot near evidence markers outside the warehouse building where the Art All Night Trenton 2018 festival was the scene of a shooting, Sunday, June 17, 2018, in Trenton, N.J.(Photo: Mel Evans, AP)
1. How many people were hurt?
One person was killed, 22 were injured and four of those hurt are in critical condition. One of the most seriously injured victims was a 13-year-old boy, according to Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo Onofri.
2. What were the injuries?
Most of the injured, 17, suffered gunshot wounds, Onofri said.
3. What about the suspects?
There were at least two suspects – one of them, a 33-year-old man, is dead and the other is in police custody. Neither have been identified.
4. What was the reason for the shooting?
Officials aren't sure at this point. The prosecutor's office is investigating an attempted car-jacking that occurred right outside the event at the time of the shooting, but it hasn't been determined if it is related. Gov. Phil Murphy said it may have stemmed from a "low-end neighborhood-level" dispute.
5. What is Art All Night?
Art All Night is a 12-year tradition in Trenton that features art, music and film. The event is free and was scheduled to run from 3 p.m .Saturday to 3 p.m. Sunday. However, the balance of the event was canceled following the shooting.

Wollondilly Council is advising residents that a fireworks display will be held between 9.00pm and 9.15pm on Saturday 5 May 2018, as part of the 2018 illuminARTe Wollondilly Festival.
The fireworks display will be launched from Lot 4, 219 Argyle Street Picton, above the mushroom tunnel.
Two local fire crews from NSW Fire & Rescue will be on site to make sure all safety measures are followed before, during and after the fireworks.
The Animal Shelter on Wonga Road Picton will extend their hours on Sunday 6 May to allow residents more time to collect or bring in animals that escaped due to the fireworks. The hours for that Sunday will be 10am to 2.30pm.
"Council will endeavour to minimise the nuisance, but there is inevitably going to be some disturbance," Mr Moran advised.
If your pet has escaped or you have found an animal please call the Animal Shelter on 4677 0462 to arrange a drop off or pick up.


Upper West Side home cooks repair to White Gold Butchers for dependably sourced rib-eye, bacon and leg of lamb as well as helpful advice from butchers Erika Nakamura and Jocelyn Guest. Co-owners April Bloomfield and Ken Friedman (The Spotted Pig, The Breslin, Salvation Burger) are also involved in the enterprise, which offers breakfast, lunch and dinner; get it to go, or take a seat in the casual café. There are filling egg sandwiches, spectacular Cornish pasties, rotisserie chicken, pork sirloin with apple and sage and a sophisticated wine list, making White Gold very unlike your average butcher shop.


This year marks the release of a new label from Top Diva. For years I've been watching this brand and their stunning in house designs and with this new collection I finally got to shoot, try and own one of their amazing styles.
Watching the look book being shot over social media I had my eyes on one dress above all others and this little number was literally wrapped in a bright red bow for me.
Vintage Diva have created what might be the sweetest and most flattering nautical swing dress I've ever had the pleasure of wearing. Featuring a full skirt, fitted white bodice with contrasting ivory trim and a bold red bow. The neckline is a little higher than I usually wear but I actually love how well it hugs my torso and the little cleavage it shows is perfect.
Made from a super stretchy, high quality, navy blue bengaline/viscose blend means this dress fits like a dream and really hugs your curves. Perfect for wearing all day and so very soft and comfortable. I'm wearing the 2XL and the fit is spot on to the size chart but with some stretch due to the fabric. Due to my hour glass shape I find that I need to focus on bust fit then tailor the waist but this style works perfectly for both!!!
With a cap sleeve you can wear this all summer long or pair it as I have now that we have just hit Winter down under with a bright red cardigan to compliment the bow. I'm really hoping that in future releases this style is created with a 3/4 sleeve in either this colour way or black and white as I'd wear it like crazy over Autumn/Winter. But this cap sleeve I that comfortable - we can thank bengaline for that, so I don't feel restricted or have any fit issues.
The full skirt looks amazing with or without a petticoat and as you can see when worn without the fabric falls beautifully. This is one of those classic styles that seems to shoot every shape and size and really makes the most of your figure. Each design in the range is classic and flatters you no matter what your size may be.
Both of these styles NEED to be a part of my wardrobe for winter and upcoming travels to the US!
Many thanks to Brooke Orchard for these fantastic images and many, many more to come!

The Lounge Light Grey Matt Porcelain (SKU: 431245) is suitable for external use, as it is a porcelain tile rendering it frost proof & water resistant. It also has an anti-slip rating of R9. We recommend ordering a sample from our website to ascertain its suitability for your project.
Q : I am planning on ordering these tiles for my bathroom walls but i was wondering which tiles would go best with the matt finish. i wanted to put a sparkly white floor with the matt grey on the walls, but not sure if it will look right. could you recommend a tile type or colour for the floor please ?
The sparkly white tiles we have in our range are Strauss White Porcelain Wall And Floor Tile (SKU 440480) or Quartz Stone Snow White (SKU 436150) both tiles would complement the Lounge Light Grey Matt Porcelain (SKU: 431245). We recommend ordering samples from our website, to view in situ and ascertain their suitability for your project.
Q : do these tiles need to be sealed pre grouting like most porcelain tiles ?
The Lounge Light Grey Matt Porcelain (SKU 431245) tiles do not require sealing due to their matt finish.
Thank you for your question. We would recommend an organic PH neutral cleaner such as Fila Tile & Stone Cleaner, however, that product is designed to be an everyday cleaner, if there are residues that you are having difficulty removing we would recommend Fila PS87.
Thank you for your question. This tile can be used on a wall and floor, and there is no issue using them in a bathroom. If you would like further advice, please call 01782 223822 or email and we will be happy to help.
Excellent service, great products and speedy delivery. Will always use your company now :-) Thank you.
Beautiful tiles, amazing price and wonderful service from Tile Mountain!!
These tiles have just been fitted in my bathroom floor. They are a beautiful colour and finish. So impressed with the service from Tile Mountain. Will never look elsewhere for tiles again and have recommended to all my friends and family. Thank you!
the tiles we bought were far superior to anything we had seen locally and at a fraction of the cost. Since fitting them lots of people have commented at how nice they are.

can't point a finger at [Trump] so much as his statements and ideas is what made these people feel like they're safe to do it and I think that's the problem." Alyson Burns-Glover, a social psychology professor at Pacific said the males who engaged this way in public most likely had no fear of being caught or stopped, feeling a sense of entitlement. "I would guess they spend a lot of time on social media and with others who are exactly like them, hence traveling in the 'pack' and so have no basis for humanizing anyone different," Burns-Glover said. "I would not be surprised if they have done this before." And Stevens is not alone. According to Southern Poverty Law Center, there were 700 hate crimes reported the week following the election, 65 percent being in the first three days after Trump was elected.
experience no benefit, social, ego, or economic, from the behavior." Many others reported experiencing similar situations to Stevens post-election, but at that moment in time, she could not have felt more alone. She even came to terms with the fact that she might die. "It was like tumbleweeds, I felt like I was in a desert," she said, adding that no bystander came to check on her or phone the police.
you these incidents happen more often than any dominant-culture person realizes or cares to think about," Burns-Glover said. Because of the reported hate crimes Stevens fears that history will be repeating. But worse.
"Here's the thing, back then people owned their racism, they owned their prejudice and today's time, people try to deny it and pretend that doesn't exist, but to me, that's more dangerous," Stevens said. "You can't just go back a few years, you go back 100 years, because to me, when someone tells me to make America great, my mind went 'so make it white again?' Because America is already great." Stevens even comes from a family that was heavily involved with the Military. She expressed her patriotism toward the U.S., but said when things are wrong, they need to be addressed. And she plans to do just that. "It's like the saying goes, 'the only way for evil to keep going in this world is when good people sit back and do nothing,' so I don't wanna sit back and do nothing, I want to say something," Stevens said.

Depeding on my schedule I may be there. I have to go to Larry's sometime, so I could do this all in one trip.
I should be available early in the month.
Sorry the calender says I have to work that day.
Well I got the spot I had requested at work. The December get together is going to be December 10th.. Everyone is welcome. hope we have good weather for all to travel & have fun.
Have fun everyone. I have a family commitment that day.
Well, there's nothing on my calendar for that day, so here's hoping for fit weather. Hope to see you then!


Active Galactic Nuclei, or AGN, are centers of galaxies hosting a super-massive black hole that is actively being fed gas and outshines the galaxy at almost any wavelength. These black holes have masses that are a million to billion times larger than the mass of our Sun and an event horizon (the point after which matter and light cannot escape the hole) the size of our solar system. AGN are best studied at high energies and represent the largest population of sources detected by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.
White circles represent Fermi-detected Active Galactic Nuclei.
bright gamma ray glow from the plane of our Milky Way galaxy.
Black holes are famous for devouring anything that gets close to them, but some super-massive black holes are also able to launch matter very far away and at incredible speeds - close to the speed of light. They do this by accelerating matter in narrow beams (called jets) that can extend from the poles of the black hole for hundreds (even thousands) of light years. AGN with jets closely aligned with our line of sight are called "blazars" for the blazing light that we observe. Blazars are extremely bright at gamma rays and this explains why most of the AGN observed by the LAT belong to the blazar class.
Your browser does not support the video tag. Downlaod the Movie. Read the Press Release.
Jets require an enormous amount of power to be launched and for a long time it was unclear which energy source was used. Fermi-LAT observations have helped scientists understand that jets tap into the reservoir of energy that is stored in the rotation of the black hole.
supermassive black hole. Some AGN have jets, while others do not.
Blazars' emission is highly variable on time scales of minutes to years. These changes in brightness can tell us a lot about the workings of the blazar 'engine'. Some blazars even seem to show repeating patterns of variability. One of these is a cycle of ~2.5 years for a blazar called PG 1553+113. Such repetitive variation may be due to the presence of two black holes on a close orbit.
Black hole jet activity may be triggered only temporarily due to some violent mechanism, like the collision of two galaxies.
Since Active Galactic Nuclei are bright, numerous, and distributed across the observable Universe, they act as beacons bringing us information about the biggest questions in astrophysics: the early life of the Universe, the shape of space, and the nature of Dark Matter. AGN have told taught us a lot and look set to be unique tools for our continuing exploration of the mysterious Universe. Do tune in every Friday this month for more on Fermi and the study of AGN.

What a dive: The underwater realm that inspired James Cameron's new 3D film Sanctum
By Chris Hall
From: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/
This is a real photograph from one of the most mysterious environments in the world
80ft below the surface, the Cascade room in Dan's Cave, on Abaco Island in the Bahamas, is one of the most sensational chambers in the cave system
No, it's not a still from Sanctum - although James Cameron's new diving film was inspired by a near-catastrophic expedition by the man who took these pictures, Wes C Skiles.
This is a real photograph from one of the most mysterious environments in the world. You could visit Abaco Island, in the Bahamas, and have no idea that beneath you lies this vast network of caves, accessible by as many as a thousand 'blue holes' - submerged vertical caves peppered with entrances to this forbidding domain.
Of the 1,000 or so blue holes in the Bahamas, fewer than 20 per cent have been investigated, and almost none fully explored
Exploring these passages is the diving equivalent of climbing K2 - you've got to be exceptionally well trained and well prepared. Even then, safety is no guarantee; Wes C Skiles died during a dive last summer.
Sanctum is dedicated to him.
Of the 1,000 or so blue holes in the Bahamas, fewer than 20 per cent have been investigated, and almost none fully explored. It's a perilous mission to undertake; the caves are pitch black, vast and labyrinthine: the deepest blue holes can be 600ft deep, and the connecting caves run on for thousands of feet in all directions.
Light filters down from the entrance of Ben's Cave (left) in Lucayan National Park on Grand Bahama. There are over six miles of caves under Grand Bahama. The caves can get so narrow that the divers have to remove their equipment to fit through the gaps (right). Here one of the team explores Garbage Hole, with his guideline clearly visible in the foreground
Divers maintain a taut safety line at all times. Without it, it could be nigh on impossible to find your way out before your air supply runs out. Divers carry three tanks of nitrox mix - one to use on the way in, one on the way out, and one for emergencies - and three lights, which are used to communicate as well as navigate.
Standard practice states that if any one light fails for any diver, the whole dive is called off.
In Sawmill Sink, another of Abaco's blue holes, bacteria colour the water a violent red, and signal the presence of hydrogen sulphide clouds
Wes Skiles died during a dive last summer. Sanctum is dedicated to him
As well as the routine hazards of diving, the unique water chemistry of inland blue holes brings its own problems.
In inland blue holes, a thin layer of fresh water, provided by rainfall, sits on top of denser salt water. The fresh water acts as a lid, preventing oxygen from entering the water.
Bacteria in the salt water produce hydrogen sulphide as a result, generating toxic clouds of gas, suspended near the surface throughout the caves.
Divers cannot spend too long exposed to these clouds; it can penetrate their wetsuits and skin, leading to nausea, delirium and even death.
These conditions also contribute to the blue holes' interest, however.
Life on Earth began in prehistoric times, when oxygen was vastly less prevalent in the planet's atmosphere.
By exploring these caves, and studying the bacteria that exist here, scientists can learn not only about life as it was four billion years ago, but as it might exist now on other worlds: it is possible that there are pockets of liquid water beneath the surfaces of Mars, Jupiter's moon Europa, and distant planets.
The oxygen-deficient conditions also preserve animal remains.
Marine biologists have recovered the remains of crocodiles and tortoises with their soft tissues perfectly intact, even after thousands of years.
Divers thread a careful path between stalactites and stalagmites in Dan's Cave. The fragile rock formations are tens of thousands of years old

Siemens has successfully 3D-printed and engine-tested a dry low-emission (DLE) pre-mixer for the SGT-A05 aeroderivative gas turbine used in the energy industry, showing a potential for significant CO emissions' reduction.
The DLE pre-mixer is highly complex, with over 20 parts involved in the casting and assembly using traditional manufacturing methods. By utilising Siemens-qualified nickel super-alloys as the AM printing material, the 3D-printed component requires only two parts and lead time is reduced by approximately 70%. 3D-printing of the DLE pre-mixer allows Siemens to simplify complexity in the production process, reduce external dependencies in the supply chain and improves the geometry of the component, thus allowing a better fuel-air mix.
From concept to engine test, the development took only seven months, which Siemens states is "impressive for a component that requires such tight tolerances and works in high load and temperature".
First engine testing of the AM-manufactured DLE pre-mixer, which was 3D-printed in Siemens' AM centre of competence in Finspang, Sweden, was recently completed and the data received promising. It showed no start issues, all fuel transitions were accomplished successfully without any controls modifications required, there were no combustion dynamics or noise, measurable CO emissions reductions were realised and full power was achieved.
Siemens' DLE solution for the SGT-A05 gas turbine reduces emissions through advanced lean burn combustion technology, eliminating the need for water injection. The DLE conversion reduces customers' operating costs associated with water treatment. Application of DLE does not compromise the high dynamic loading response of this aeroderivative engine model. More than 120 engines are successfully utilising DLE technology to reduce NOx and CO emissions, with 3.9 million operating hours accumulated (as of February 2018). "And now, with AM technology, we have an opportunity to go even further with emissions reduction for DLE combustion," said Douglas Willham, Siemens' director of engineering for the SGT-A05.
Last year, Siemens finished its first full-load engine tests for gas turbine blades completely designed and produced using AM technology. Earlier this year, the company 3D-printed and installed into a customer's equipment its first replacement part for an industrial steam turbine. In early 2017, Siemens achieved the first successful commercial installation and continuing safe operation of a 3D-printed part in a nuclear power plant – an impeller for a fire protection pump that is in commercial operation. Siemens accumulated more than 30,000 hours of successful commercial operation for SGT-800 burners repaired with AM technology and for SGT-750 burner swirls manufactured by AM. All these combustor components are running in a very high load and temperature environment.


The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether clopidogrel 75 mg daily on a background of aspirin 75-100 mg/d for clinically indicated duration or for an additional 12 months will lead to an increased rate of primary patency, limb salvage, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, and survival, in patients receiving endovascular treatment of PAD at end of study treatment.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is extremely prevalent worldwide and affects over 206 million people. Over 36 million patients with PAD are estimated to be present in the United States. Percutaneous revascularization therapies have evolved dramatically, yet the long-term success of these therapies remains modest and the morbidity and mortality associated with PAD remains high, with up to 30% mortality risk at 5 years. Nearly, 3.2 million endovascular procedures are performed annually. Though, this exceeds interventional procedures performed for coronary artery disease (CAD), the current PAD guidelines are silent regarding the need and optimal duration of antiplatelet therapy (APT) for patients following an endovascular procedure for claudication or critical limb ischemia (CLI). The lack of data and clinical studies is by far the greatest impediment to the formulation of such guideline recommendations critically needed by providers and patients alike, especially given the current limited durability of lower extremity endovascular procedures.
The objective of this trial is to evaluate whether clopidogrel 75 mg QD on a background of ASA 75-100 mg/d for clinically indicated duration or for an additional 12 months will lead to an increased rate of primary patency, limb salvage, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, and survival, in patients receiving endovascular treatment of PAD at end of study treatment.
The investigators hypothesize that dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with ASA and clopidogrel administered for an additional 12 months following iliac, femoropopliteal or below the knee endovascular intervention will improve primary patency, limb salvage, freedom from ischemic stroke and survival, in patients with symptomatic PAD.
Clinical endpoints will be analyzed in all subjects who are enrolled, regardless of whether the trial treatment administered successfully completed for the desired duration. A subject will be considered enrolled in the trial when he/she is randomized to one of the treatment arms of the study. All endpoints are subject-based unless otherwise specified.
The primary endpoint is subject-based of the longer of a 12-month or end of study treatment endpoint of the first occurrence of index limb arterial occlusion, surgical intervention, endovascular intervention, amputation of the affected limb (primary patency and limb salvage), MI, ischemic stroke or death (survival).
The secondary endpoints are subject-based on the longer of a 12 month or end of study treatment endpoints that include: (a) the first occurrence of any individual component of the primary endpoint, (b) the first occurrence of the following during follow-up: cardiovascular death, or MI, or ischemic stroke, or any amputation above the ankle and (c) severe bleeding defined according to the Global Utilization of Streptokinase and Tissue plasminogen activator for Occluded coronary arteries (GUSTO) classification.
The tertiary endpoint is based on the longer of a 12-month or end of study moderate bleeding according to the GUSTO classification.
Occlusion of the target vessel documented by any imaging procedure (eg, Duplex ultrasonography scan including B mode imaging and Doppler ultrasound scan) at any follow-up visit within 12 months or end of study treatment period, whichever is longer.
Any mild, moderate, severe, or life-threatening bleeding.
Severe bleeding defined according to the Global Utilization of Streptokinase and Tissue plasminogen activator for Occluded coronary arteries (GUSTO) classification.
Subjects with multiple planned procedures can be enrolled after the completion of the last planned procedure.
Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to contrast dye that, in the opinion of the investigator, cannot be adequately pre-medicated.
Contraindication(s) to the use of AT (history of intra-cerebral bleed, presence of intra-cerebral mass, recent or <6 weeks gastrointestinal bleed, blood transfusion within the last 6 weeks, any trauma requiring surgery or blood transfusion within the last 4 weeks or any surgical procedure within the last 4 weeks.

Eight days into the new year.
…Yet I already know of a few people that have fallen off of their resolution bandwagon! As I described last week, this year I have chosen to focus on more elusive concepts rather than traditional and tangible things like exercising, etc. As part of my 'quest for happiness,' aside from going out and socialising even more than I previously did (ha!), I have started looking at healthy eating. I've never been the biggest meat fan, but my plan to embark on veganism hasn't been as smooth sailing as I planned. In order to re-focus and get back on track, I visited an organic vegan restaurant this weekend, Vitao.
The layout of the restaurant is quite narrow, with tables quite tightly packed together – yet once you get over the initial awkwardness, the overall feel is more intimate than claustrophobic. With authentic carved wooden tables, you feel as though you are dining at a friend's house, and the slightly dim lighting adds to the overall warm ambience. The taste of the food was delicious. The service, similar to the temperature of the food, was lukewarm. Vitao is a self-serve kind of restaurant, where patrons are encouraged to select a plate size, are charged based on this, and then help themselves to a buffet style layout of meatless dishes. With selections such as Thai-green curry, a veggie version of the infamous Spanish 'paella,' a multitude of rice options and dhal, for a meat-free meal, I was full for hours afterwards. In spite of this, I would have preferred the food to be hotter. The mediocre temperature was a little disheartening for me.
Even more impressive than the meal though, was the beverage list. I have never been more spoilt for choice. With a plethora of healthy teas, smoothies and virgin fruity cocktails on offer, Vitao excels at offering customers a fun way of reaching their five-a-day. That beverages are their strongest selling point was confirmed for me by the amount of people that came in solely to order smoothies and teas whilst my friends and I were at Vitao this weekend.
All in all, I'd go back, if only for the drinks menu.

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Queensland's School of Veterinary Science. My PhD research focused on describing the evolution and spread of bird malaria parasites. I have since broadened my interests to investigate large-scale patterns in the spread and exchange of a variety of parasites of human and animal health significance.
As a disease ecologist with expertise in genetics, bioinformatics, epidemiology and invasive species, my research intersects with a range of collaborators across a variety of disciplines. Currently I am leading projects to trace the spread of parasites between domestic pets and wildlife in Australia.

Garrett Park Swimming Pool Association was created in 1954 and is located at 4472 Cambria Avenue. It is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day (or as posted on the website). This community pool was originally built in 1954 and has undergone numerous improvements since then. It is under the direction of the Garrett Park Swimming Pool Board/Association. Membership is required. Residents of Garrett Park, Garrett Park Estates, White Flint Park, and Strathmore Place may join. As of March 2017, the wait list is closed. Currently, there are more than 60 families waiting, and there has been no space since 2015.
The pool is a popular gathering spot for fitness and socializing during the summer months. The pool complex offers 3 pools (a 25 meter lap pool, a 25 meter pool with diving area, and a toddler pool), a locker areas with showers, a beach volleyball court, table tennis and multiple picnic areas. The pool is a private organization and is governed by a Board of Directors.
