      Very helpful

      An accomplished introduction to Christian rock with a subtle faith message.

      Writing about "Revelation", the latest album from Third Day, has proved challenging, mainly because I find it hard to write about things I am really passionate about. I love great music and, as a practising Christian, I am also strongly committed to my faith. Third Day are long-standing contributors to the Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) scene - a genre which manages to combine music and faith into a whole that is much greater than the sum of its parts.

      The CCM scene has produced some great musicians and outstanding lyricists - the quality of which can easily be appreciated by a secular audience - but in my humble opinion, the work of CCM artists only truly comes alive when you add a crucial component that lifts their work beyond the ordinary.

      That component is a shared faith - which some have, but others do not. That's not to say that CCM music is lost on those not "in Christ", but, as human beings, we tend to identify with our favourite music because it has a certain resonance and relevance to our lives. Think of classic love songs, break-up tracks, songs that tell stories or reflect a certain mood - they work for us because we can relate them to our own experiences. This album inspires me, moves me and ultimately reinforces my faith.

      Third Day are an accomplished, Grammy award winning band with a talent for writing great music, and should not be dismissed simply because the focus of their music is faith. In fact, the faith references on Revelation are subtle and understated, such that, as a non-Christian, if you didn't know anything about them, on most songs, you probably wouldn't notice. In fact, they have probably come closest to being a Christian "crossover" band in a generation.

      Their well-designed and comprehensive website (www.thirdday.com) has a full biography and discography, as well as up to date news and tour information, so I'll only touch on the basics here. The band, founded in Georgia in the early 1990's, are a four-piece, currently consisting of vocalist Mac Powell, guitarist Mark Lee, drummer David Carr and bassist Tai Anderson. They count southern rock giants Lynyrd Skynryd and Irish rockers U2 amongst their influences.

      The band name is a biblical reference to the resurrection of Christ on the third day after he was crucified. The album, Revelation, is Third Day's ninth studio effort, released in July 2008 and followed up a year later with an excellent live album of the same name ("Live Revelation"). The three singles - "Call My Name", "Revelation" and "Born Again" all reached No.1 on the specialist CCM charts and, along with the unreleased "Run To You" are easily the most radio friendly of the thirteen songs on the album.

      > Slow Down

      The track starts with Mac Powell (slightly cheesily) telling his band mates "All right, let's rock it" before the guitar intro gets you quickly into the guts of the song. Accompanied by well paced drums and a chugging baseline, this catchy, toe-tapping number soon has you humming along to its infectious melody. The guitar solo in the middle, overlaid by Powell's grainy, earthy vocals, gives the track a renewed energy as it builds toward the end. This is a song all about searching for meaning and direction.

      The lyrics give the sense of a person who has been swept up and carried along on the crest of a wave, not really in control of his own destiny and tentatively looking for guidance. The trouble is, he is conflicted - he knows only too well what he has to give up and what he has to change to get the help he wants, but is reluctant to let his old life go. Eventually he realises that he can't do it all by himself, and finally asks God for help.

      "I don't want to let go of all the things that I know are keeping me away from my life. I don't want to slow down - no, I don't want to look around, but I can't seem to work it out, so help me God."

      > Call My Name

      Its easy to see why this song was such a hit and why it dominated the CCM charts for a number of weeks. I never get tired of this song, whose central message of faith is that all you have to do is reach out to Christ, and - no matter who you are, what you've done, or how far you have fallen - he will be there for you. The beauty of this song is that, if you change the lyric "My name" (references to God or Jesus in written language - as in "He" or the "Lord" - are usually capitalised) to the lower case "my name", this song could equally apply to a friend, or loved one. It has resonance as a secular as well as a faith song.

      In my view, the reason the song works so well - musically - is a brilliant, repetitive, melodic hook, with an almost hypnotic beat behind it, giving it a real anthemic quality. It starts with the opening bars of the song and keeps you company all the way through. Powell's voice has an earnest, down to earth feel to it that is easy and comforting to listen to, lending itself very well to this "arm around the shoulder" type narrative.

      "When you feel like you're alone in your sadness, and it seems like no one in this whole world cares - and you want to get away from the madness, you just call my name and I'll be there..."

      > Run to You

      A pacy drum-driven track, which tells of the man who confidently starts out convinced that this life is all about grabbing as much as he can of whatever he can. He tries his best to be the master of his own destiny, but realises that "what I thought was the best of me, turned to be all the worst I could find". Realising he can't do it on his own, he asks, hopefully "If I run to You, will you hold me in your arms forevermore?". From a faith perspective, this song brilliantly captures the essence of amazing, saving grace.

      This is an emotionally charged song which is given extra depth and impetus by the harmonies provided by Lacey Mosley (lead singer of alternative metal band Flyleaf). Her endearing Texan twang is much in evidence and lends the vocals a vaguely country edge. That said, she's better supporting rather than leading the vocals (her voice gets a little too warbly for my tastes as she hits the high notes) but her range and vocal power remind me of Amy Lee from Evanescence.

      "Nowhere to run to and no one to turn to, I'm dying out here on my own. Long before I even thought of returning, Your arms are wide open waiting for me to come home..."

      > Revelation

      The title track continues the theme of seeking and searching for truth, meaning and answers, this time from the perspective of someone broken and alone who is sick of wandering down blind alleys and roads that never lead anywhere. In a change of pace, the song is initially piano (rather than drum and guitar) led, with Powell's vocals introducing the narrative.

      As the second verse starts, the song kicks on and the other instruments join to develop a richly layered track that builds pleasingly to a full blown chorus - in turns hopeful, plaintive, demanding, expressive, and confident. The song weaves a complex tapestry, with several changes of pace and emotional emphasis, rewarding repeated listens, and delivering something new each time around. By the end of the track, Powell has moved the emotional slider from hopelessness to conviction.

      "Give me a revelation, show me what to do - cause I've been trying to find my way, I haven't got a clue. Tell me - should I stay here? or do I need to move? Give me revelation, I've got nothing without You."

      > Born Again

      Without doubt, Born Again is the most understated, but arguably the most effective song on the album. It is a proper duet between Powell and guest vocalist Lacey Mosley and probably the most overtly faith-orientated as well, artfully describing the feeling that a new Christian experiences when he or she is "born again". That said, ironically, and perhaps typically of Third Day, if you ignore the fact that this is a Christian band, this song also works extremely well as a secular song.

      The song kicks off with a soft guitar and muffled drum over which the simple melody is first introduced. It remains understated throughout, threatening to get busier, feeling orchestral in parts, but never quite managing to get boisterous. Even the chorus is soothing, calming and peaceful. In many ways, its placement on the album seems deliberate - the songs preceding it are about searching - Born Again describes what its like when you find the answer. That said, it also reminds the listener that they have simply moved to the start of another journey. The old life may have passed away, but the new life, the new day, is just beginning.

      "Wasn't looking for something that was more than what I had yesterday. Then you came to me and you gave to me life and a love, that I'd never known, that I'd never felt before. Feels like I'm born again..."

      Revelation is an album that works on many levels and, ignoring its faith origins for a moment, it has the potential to appeal to a wide audience. The thirteen tracks on the album have been thoughtfully chosen and provide a story arc of sorts - starting with a person discovering who they are, finding out they don't have all the answers, looking for those answers, finding them and starting a new journey of hope. That said, each of the songs works very well on its own, and there is hardly a duffer amongst them.

      Apart from the five I have highlighted, "Give Love", "Otherside", "This is Who I Am", and closing track " Take It All" each has its merits and are worthy of a listen. Revelation has proved to be the most enduring of the CCM CD's I have bought over the last few years and I never tire of hearing it. Currently available from Amazon as an MP3 download for £7.49 (£15.00 as a US Import), it is highly recommended to anyone with a discerning ear.

      1. This Is Who I Am (2:31)
      2. Slow Down (3:08)
      3. Call My Name (4:02)
      4. Run To You (3:23)
      5. Revelation (3:33)
      6. Otherside (3:11)
      7. Let Me Love You (3:03)
      8. I Will Always Be True (3:09)
      9. Born Again (3:36)
      10. Give Love (3:18)
      11. Caught Up In Yourself (3:28)
      12. Ready (3:17)
      13. Take It All (3:26)

Interesting Jets pick. I don't like how you did the write-up, its hard to read.

03-02-2008, 06:21 PM
accept Green Bay's pick

03-02-2008, 06:30 PM
perfect giants pick

03-02-2008, 06:46 PM
Decent Chiefs pick. I can't make up my mind whether or not I want us to reach for Clady or take Ellis/Dorsey there. If either happened I'd be fine with it.

Good first mock.

03-02-2008, 06:48 PM
Gotta love the giants pick

03-02-2008, 06:51 PM
i think if williams is off the board when teh bears pick mendenhall will be the pick. williams gets the nod if hes there because of his long term LT potential and immediate versatility (G or RT if need be)

so if hes gone, i think theyll go mendenhall since otah has been looking like a future RT only as of late and 14 seems a little high to take a RT only kind of guy, we could find one of those in the later rounds and go with a RB right then and there

Yung Flippa
03-02-2008, 07:17 PM
Okay Baltimore pick. Good Houston pick.

03-02-2008, 07:18 PM
Beautiful Pats pick.

Great pick for Green Bay, I'm really hoping Talib falls to us.

If only that Chargers pick were true...

03-02-2008, 10:14 PM

Sedrick Ellis went to USC.

Alright Steelers pick.

03-03-2008, 03:47 AM
Good Vikings pick

The Legend
03-03-2008, 08:42 AM
dont know if the Raiders will draft Dorsey he going to want HUGE money and they just gave 50 Million to Kelly IMO
packers draft is cool, i like Reggie Smith better

03-03-2008, 08:58 AM
Since this class has so much depth at CB and RB I think the Cardinals can wait until the 2nd/3rd to get one of these. But with Pace gone and no one currently on the roster who is a decent replacement for him I think we have to go with Harvey here.

03-03-2008, 10:46 AM
KC will NOT reach for Clady with Ellis on the board.Horrible pick

03-03-2008, 10:48 AM
GREAT Phins pick!!

the decider13
03-03-2008, 11:28 AM
I heart the broncos pick, I've been on the Chris Williams for Broncos bandwagon for a while. Hope it comes true, unless a good DT falls to us.

Otherwise, I want chris williams

03-07-2008, 01:54 PM
nice pats pick

03-07-2008, 01:55 PM
I highly doubt we draft Hardy, but if he keeps his nose clean off the field then it wouldn't be a bad pick.

03-07-2008, 02:24 PM
Good pick for the Bills

There Is Only One "Broadway Bob"
By Bob Frey

Big Daddy and Broadway Bob
There are a lot of big things happening in drag racing in the next few weeks. The spectacular new Z-Max Dragway will be officially opening in Concord, North Carolina today. If you haven't been there, take my word for it, it is magnificent. But that's not the biggest thing in the sport. The 2008 NHRA POWERade "Countdown to 1" championship quest will begin on Friday, and before you know it, four new professional champions will be crowned. Tony Schumacher will try to hold on to his lead, as will Tim Wilkerson, Greg Anderson and Matt Smith. But that's not the big thing. Across the country, the seven NHRA divisions will crown their Summit Racing E/T Series champions, and those winners will get to go to Pomona to compete for the national championship. But that's not the big thing. No, the biggest thing in drag racing will take place at the world famous Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, Wisconsin, on September 27th and 28th when the world comes together to celebrate "Broadway Bob's" 80th birthday. Now that, my friends, is big. Really big.

"Broadway Bob," or Bob Metzler as he is known to his family, is a true legend in the sport of drag racing. He has been involved with the sport since the mid 1950's and his "Olympics of Drag Racing" is one of the oldest events in the country, having begun in 1957. Over the years virtually every big name in the sport has raced at Great Lakes and most of them have some great, personal stories to tell about the master showman, "Broadway Bob." Known for his fantastic shows and his outlandish wearing apparel, "Broadway Bob" is as much a part of the landscape of our sport as "Big Daddy" or John Force. Really!

Broadway Bob rides Draco
"This weekend at 'Broadway Bob's' Great Lakes Dragaway it's the big one. See seventy fire scorching Funny Cars in side-by-side action. See Don 'The Snake' Prudhomme against the 'Chicago Patrol' Funny Car in a special two-out-of-three match race." So goes one of his many commercials for another stellar attraction as his track. And were there really seventy Funny Cars there? It doesn't matter, because "Broadway" was there and there was a good chance that he was riding on the front of some fire-breathing jet dragster or sitting astride "Draco the Dragonator" as part of the show. Draco, for those of you who don't know, is the world's only mutant, bionic, mechanical, fire-breathing creature with jaws of steel. Really! And, even at eighty years old, "Broadway Bob" will ride the wild beast as it entertains the fans at his birthday party.

"This weekend at 'Broadway Bob's' Great Lakes Dragaway it's an unbelievable double header. See the United States Wheelstanding Championships, plus over fifty earth scorching Pro Stockers." Just another one of "Broadway's" commercials and it packed them in. In fact, all of his commercials packed them in. They came to see smoke and fire and wild wheelstands. They came to see jet cars, funny cars, and wheel-popping Pro Stock cars. They came to see Marvin Schwartz and "Big Daddy" Don Garlits. They came to see Shirley Muldowney and Richard Tharp. They came to see Jeb Allen and the Motown Shaker. But most of all, they came to see Bob. "Broadway Bob."

Broadway Bob and Wally Parks
To illustrate just how much Bob has meant to the sport, consider this. He was inducted into the Drag Racing Hall of Fame in 1996 even though he never raced a car. Never. He was inducted into the Jet Car Hall of Fame even though he never drove a jet car. Never. Of course, even though he didn't drive a jet car, he did "ride" a jet car. Let me explain. It seems that "Broadway Bob," who has booked in virtually every jet car that ever ran in the history of the sport, and that includes the legendary Arfons family, once had this wacky idea that a good way to get the fans pumped up for his jet car show would be for him to ride on the front of the car while it was fired up. And so he did. In full "Broadway Bob" regalia, which means a multi-colored, tie-dyed T-shirt, and with beer can in hand, Bob came out of the staging lanes, into the burn out box and waved to the crowd, and all the time the jet car driver was popping those after burners as only a jet car can. And, as they say, the crowd went wild.

"See dragsters, wheelstanders, jet cars, Funny Cars, Pro Stockers and more. See Fred Sibley, the Little Red Wagon, the Dodge Rebellion and Tyrone Malone. See Sox and Martin, "Jungle" Jim, the "Blue Max," the Detroit Tiger and more. "See Tommy Ivo, Don Prudhomme, Gary Burgin and more than one hundred touring pros." And where can you see all of this? Of course, "this weekend at 'Broadway Bob's' Great Lakes Dragaway during the Olympics of Drag Racing." Now that's some show, isn't it? But it's just one of the many events that helped put "Broadway Bob" into the Hall of Fame. Or several Halls of Fame.

Broadway Bob rides the Green Mamba
"Broadway Bob" had a few health problems a few years ago and so he sold Great Lakes Dragaway in 1995, but he remains a fixture at the facility. His friends, and there are thousands of them, will gather together at the track that Bob built on the weekend of September 27 & 28th to wish him a happy birthday. "I'm only doing this because you only turn eighty once," he said. And, in true "Broadway Bob" tradition, it's going to be quite a blowout in Union Grove that weekend. You'll see jets and wheelstanders, Elvis and the Nitro Man. You'll see wheel popping, well, you get the idea. It's going to be two days of exciting racing action and it's going to be a tribute to one of the true legends in our sport. "We've lined up a lot of special guests who will stop by to honor Bob," Steve "Nitro Man" Wallace told me. "And we started putting together a list of cars to do a cacklefest and that thing has taken on a life of its own. Let me tell you, it's going to be huge." And it should be, after all, there is only one "Broadway Bob." Oh yeah, the highlight of the weekend will be Draco and Bob, and not necessarily in that order.

I've known Bob for many years, in fact , I announced at his track back in the 1970's, and I'm proud to call him a friend. Better yet, I'm proud that he calls me a friend. I even have one of the very few "Broadway Bob" bobble-head dolls and I count it among my most prized possessions. And when I showed my wife the Draco bobble-head, she asked what it was, and she followed that with, "what is that man doing riding on the dragon?" I just smiled and said, "Well, babe, that's 'Broadway Bob,'" and I left it at that. I wish I could take her to Great Lakes Dragaway on September 27th & 28th because I know she'd love it.

You can find out more about the celebration by going to the track's website at And if you happen to be in the area, stop by, it'll be easy to find, just follow the crowds. Happy birthday, Bob. And many more!!

2013 and 2014 Buick Encore Review and Road Test with IntelliLink Infotainment Review
Check out my other videos! http://vid.io/xqoB Who is Alex? Find out here! http://vid.io/xqoF Buick's been on a roll this year, their sales are up and their owner demographics are younger than they have been in recent memory. The cynic in my says that's because half their clientele died of old age, but it has more to do with their product portfolio. Say what? Yep, it's true, the brand I wrote off for dead last decade is targeting younger buyers with designs imported from Europe and finding sales success. The Verano turbo shattered my preconceptions, but can Buick do it again? A brown Encore arrived one rainy morning to see if it was possible. The Encore isn't new, but neither is it an American rehash of a tired Euro model. Instead, it is "badge engineering" 21st century style. When I was a kid you knew a new Buick was coming when Chevy or Oldsmobile announced a new product. You also knew what to expect: the same sheetmetal with a Buick logo on the grille and some padded velour thrones. 30 years later Buick is up to the same old game with an important twist: Buick takes Opel models from Europe. Consequently you won't find a brother-from-another-mother running around with a Chevy logo. Like its sister-ship, the Opel Mokka, the Encore is a small crossover/hatchback closely related to GM's other small car offerings. Euro origins are obvious when you park the Encore in an American parking spot, this Buick is tiny. The Encore's tall profile further accentuates the Encore's 168-inch overall length, which is surprisingly 6-inches longer than a MINI Countryman. The Encore isn't a terribly expensive crossover starting at $24,950 and ending at $31,110 for a full-loaded AWD model. Despite the low starting price, the cabin makes extensive use of soft touch plastics lending a more premium feel to the cabin than vehicles like the MINI Countryman, Acura TSX or Lexus CT. Speaking of MINI, the Countryman, (like the rest of the MINI lineup) is a mixture of trickle-down BMW technology, great switchgear, high-style, cheesy plastics and chintzy headliners. Of course MINI's biggest asset is brand perception while Buick's brand is more of a liability in some demographics. That's really a shame because the Encore has not only a quality feel but a very uniform feel as well. While MINI's cabins are full of highs and lows, everything in the Encore is consistently a notch above the rabble. Equipping the Contryman and Encore as closely as possible reveals the Encore is about $1,500 cheaper once you add to the MINI the features standard on the Encore. Comparing the top-trim of the Encore to the MINI the difference grows to $3,800 in the Encore's favor. Want AWD? The difference grows by about three-grand. The Encore may be small, but the interior is spacious thanks to the tall profile, stubby nose and upright seats. Taller folks will have no problems getting into or out of the front or rear seats thanks to large door openings and a low step-in height. I grabbed a few willing tall people for lunch and successfully (and comfortably) took two 6'5" passengers, one 6'2 gentleman and myself (6') on a 50 minute trek to the prefect burger joint without a single complaint. Because the Encore shares seat frames with GM sedans, there are a few compromises. The lack of a power recline mechanism seems odd, especially considering the 2-positon memory seat found in our tester. Using the sale seat frames and rails as a sedan or coupé meant creating some unusual "platforms" in the floor stamping so the seats could be mounted high to get an SUV-like seating position. Consequently the rear footwells might be a problem for big-footed passengers on long trips. A manual front passenger seat is standard, but most models on dealer lots have the optional power seat The Encore uses the same 1.4L four-cylinder engine as the Chevy Sonic and Cruze. Producing 140 HP at 4,900 RPM this mill isn't targeted at speed addicts. On the bright side, thanks to a turbocharger and some direct-injection magic, the engine manages 148 lb-ft of twist from 1,850-4,900RPM and under certain circumstances it will allow an "overBoost" to 163 lb-ft over the same range for up to 10 seconds. My opinion of the diminutive engine changed constantly during my week with the Encore. In the city the low-end torque provided by the turbo and the low first gear make easy work of 0-40 MPH traffic and the Encore effortlessly zipped into narrow gaps on busy expressways. Thanks to the way the throttle is mapped the engine doesn't feel out of breath cruising on the highway, until you need to pass someone as getting from 60 to 80 MPH takes a Prius-like 8 seconds. Load the Encore up with two people and some luggage and forward progress is noticeably stunted in all situations. However, every time I wished for more power I glanced down at my fuel economy and was reminded that more power consumes more gasoline. Music by Kevin MacLeod

9 Second Buick GSX Stage2 GS Stage1 9.51 @ 140
We originally built this car with Frank Urbinati back in 1996.It debuted at the GS Nationals where it won the GS Pro Street class races. It was also the 1st GS Pro Street class car to break into the 9's at the time.Thanks to Frank this project came to life. Fast forward to 2010 and the car has been taken over by Bob Ortolani,the car still looks great and Bob decided to bring it up another level. We were happy to have the car come back to our shop and to have the opportunity to work with Bob and put together the new powerplant. The video shows the results of our 1st day out to tune the engine. The 1st two passes were shakedowns to check fuel/oil pressures and get a feel for the new combo. By the 3rd run we had posted a 9.62 @ 138 hitting the 7100rpm rev limiter chip! The 4th run was a 9.52 @ 140. On the 5th run it went 9.51 @ 140.65! After a good cool down and a timing adjustment we were ready to try for a 9.40 run, launching right off idle the car gave us a nice big unexpected wheelie! The wheelie sure lookes cool but we know we can go quicker with a little more suspension work to straighten out the launch and try to keep the front down. We're sure it'll go into the 9.40's yet and maybe even 30's after everything is worked out.

Buick - History Documentary (1995)
This video is a wonderfully-done documentary, written and produced by Michael Rose, on the history of Buick as presented in 1995 from the History Channel's archive. Here is Michael's description of the video verbatim: "No one would have believed that the tinkering of a plumber would turn into the foundation of the world's largest corporation. But it did. David Dunbar Buick invented a process to adhere porcelain to tubs and other bathroom fixtures. But the Scottish immigrant dreamed of making a mark out of the bathroom, and set to work building a car. By 1900, he enlisted the aid of another inventor, Walter Marr, and they built their first vehicle. Their invention attracted the attention of one of Michigan's wealthiest men, William Crapo Durant, the president of the world's largest buggy-building business. As soon as he drove one of Buick's early creations, Durant realized that the days of the horse and buggy were over. He teamed up with Buick, and the two went on to make history. By the thirties, Buicks were regarded as some of the finest cars ever made. From the first Buicks through the birth of General Motors and into history, this is the compelling story of the partnership that eventually became the basis for the largest company in the world."

Yet Another 'Next Generation' Data Migration Tool?

Staunchly holding onto its position in the enterprise application modernization market, Micro Focus has launched what it describes as a two new "next generation" mainframe migration tools. The company says that Micro Focus Studio Enterprise Edition (Studio EE) and Server Enterprise Edition (Server EE) v6.0 SP1 will deliver enhanced mainframe migration capabilities to companies looking to simplify their IT infrastructures.

Urging businesses to look towards delivering more innovative products and services than that which are possible under the encumbrance of their legacy systems, Micro Focus offers a suite of graphical tools that allows users to migrate mainframe business applications to lower cost platforms and supports the entire applications development lifecycle.

The company's "next generation" tag is arguably not much more than a marketing label; the new functionality that does in fact exist here includes the capability to automate data migration to Microsoft SQL Server and the ability to migrate and re-host PL/I applications, resulting in the ability to further reduce their reliance on the costly mainframe.

"Any mainframe shop faced with rising costs, skilled personnel retirement and lack of IT agility should consider these solutions as a way to begin the long-term modernization process," said Dale Vecchio, research vice president at Gartner. "Mainframe re-hosting solutions offer lower-cost and more immediate modernization results, with reduced IT spending within 12 to 36 months of the migration -- they also offer companies a way to leverage their COBOL and PL/I skill sets and modernize, as appropriate, on lower-cost platforms."

Riding the Bullet (2004)

I was fortunate enough to have been invited to the Los Angeles premier of the new Mick Garris film, Riding the Bullet, based on a story by Stephen King. It was a star-studded event with many legendary directors on hand such as Tobe Hooper, Frank Darabont, Roger Corman, and Don Coscarelli to name a few. Cast members David Arquette and Cliff Robertson also attended. After they strolled up and down the red carpet, it was on to the screening. Mick Garris addressed the audience and acknowledged the cast and crew in attendance giving out many thanks. He also said something that caught me off guard: HE said that what we were about to see wasn’t really a horror film. I didn’t know what to think about that since everything I had seen about the film looked like a straight-up horror film to me. I guess I would soon see for myself as it was time for the film to begin.

Set in the late 1960s on Halloween, Riding the Bullet is the story of a New England college student who learns that his mother has been hospitalized after a stroke. He must hitchhike across the state over the course of one night to be with her. Along the way he confronts his past, his future, his demons and fears - and a terrifying personification of

The film doesn’t waste any time getting right down to business as it has a lot of ground to cover in a short period of time. Like several King adaptations, Riding the Bullet seems to have a hard time trying to decide what it wants to be: a horror film, a drama, a love story, a comedy. It has elements of all the above, which made it feel uneven to me. However, with all of its negatives I couldn’t help but enjoy the positives. For every scene I disliked there was one I liked.

One thing that got to be a bit much was the over usage of possible choices the character makes. Several times in the film you are shown a scene two to three different ways, and that can get old real fast. It works in a film like An American Werewolf in London in the famous dream within a dream sequence when you’re not expecting it, but over and over again it gets to be a bit annoying.

I think the biggest surprise of the film is the ending where the film completely switches gears and gets all sappy and sentimental. Suddenly it becomes Stand By Me in the last five minutes. As out of place as it was, I hate to admit that I loved the ending. It gave the film a sense of purpose it was lacking trying to pass itself off as a horror film that was really something else all along.

The acting was good all around, and I was pleasantly surprised by the film’s leading man, Jonathan Jackson as Alan Parker. He did a really impressive job carrying the film, which he absolutely had to do or the whole thing would have been a catastrophe.

Mick Garris has recently become the King of King venturing on his long road with the author by helming the King-penned Sleepwalkers. That was over a decade ago and the last time Garris directed a feature film. Since then he has been working in television and mostly on Stephen King adapted mini-series such as The Stand and The Shining; currently he is working on Desperation. This is where I think the problem with Riding the Bullet may lay. I admittedly have not read the original King story so have no idea what Garris was working from, but with that being said, I know how hard it can be to bring a King novel to the screen. This is why the mini-series format has been used so often because of the inability to effectively fit it all into a ninety-minute film. Riding the Bullet felt like a mini-series that tried to cram everything into one episode. It just didn’t play like a feature film. I kept waiting for the commercials with those annoying mini previews for the next fifteen-minute segment to pop up. Gladly they didn’t, but I shouldn’t have felt like they may.

Riding the Bullet is a film that will likely appeal to more non-horror fans, which I think is the majority of the people who like the Stephen King television adaptations. However, I say give this film a chance. I would like to see more on the big screen from Mick Garris in the future.

Dread Central.com - Dead Tide http://www.dreadcentral.com/taxonomy/term/8491/0 en Dead Tide (Book) http://www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/dead-tide-book
Reviewed by Scott A. Johnson

Written by Stephen A. North

Published by Library of the Living Dead

 Movies would have us believe that when the proverbial shit hits the fan, the world will dissolve into archetypes. People will comfortably fit into the "hero" mold or the "underdog" caste, and people will somehow band together and survive. But what I've always wondered about is the other people. Sure, we get to see what the few on screen are like, but what are people really willing to do to survive? Dead Tide paints a bleak, disturbing, and all-too-human picture of what happens when people stop being polite and when the Zombie Apocalypse finally happens.

The first thing readers will notice about this book is that it's told in present tense. Instead of "he ran down the hall," we get "he runs down the hall." It's a small point, and one that's difficult to pull off in fiction, but North uses the device to give the story a sense of urgency, making the reader more than just someone reading the events after the fact. While it can be distracting at first, once the reader decides to just go with it, it makes the tense scenes all the more tense and brings the action to a more visceral boil. Whether reading about a stripper who wrecks her car on the way home or a child hiding in the attic, the reader gets more out of the story because it is happening as he's reading it.

Another point of interest is that the book is divided into really short chapters, each one centering around a character. It is interesting for the reader to see how each character interprets each situation, and how those characters react.

All academic ramblings aside, this is, simply put, a great book, one of the most original of slew of Zombie-themed books to come out in recent memory. As with other novels, the general population has no clue or warning about the shambling dead, but what is more interesting here is that many of the people involved are more adept at becoming a part of the problem than they are at solving it.

Fans of the Zombie-genre will love this book, both for its uniqueness and for how hard-boiled the story is. Fans of gore will find more than enough to giggle about, while fans of good, character-driven plots will find themselves enraptured with the story. Really, this one is as close to a perfect zombie tale as it gets.

    Here are a few of my thoughts after a month with my iPhone 4S from a former android user (and current fan).
    I am not too disappointed, however the cons outweigh the pros.
    Pros: 1. The keyboard and the magnifying glass/selecting functions.
    2. The way you check voicemail, quick and easy.
    3. I like how the notification center shows the weather and upcoming events
    4. The main thing I like and the reason I decided to jump was siri. It makes life a lot easier. Thats how I set all my alarms, timers, tell my wife I’m on my way home and it even reminds me to do something when visiting my mother or when I arrive at work.

    Cons: 1. No widgets
    2. I hate itunes with every fiber and I don’t like not having any other option to put music on my device.
    3. No tethering without being “jailbroken”
    4. Not very customizable(BIGGEST PROBLEM)......example, I can’t set a bill collectors ring tone to “silent” or even to just send them to voicemail. It has to ring if someone calls.
    5. No app for sms to email. None. Maybe a halfass “jailbroken” app.
    6. No google navigation.
    7. I really like using gmails priority inbox, can’t really use it on this phone. I get notified for every email.
    8. If you wan’t to download something over 50mb you have to be connected to a wifi network. Pain in the a$$.
    9. All photos have to go into one folder “camera roll” (they be copied into created folders)
    10. No custom keyboards I could find only “emoji cons”
    11. No uploading to picasa. I really relied on google’s products.
    Probably a lot more cons and a few more pros.

    Bottom line, I will not upgrade to the iphone 5S or whatever is out there in 18 months. I had the Gnex, but everyone I had just dropped service and I had to make a choice. I REALLY wish I had a working GNex, especially after seeing MIUI and Sourcery drop. I try not to think of it much. Engineering has picked up here so I’ve been very busy at work and haven’t had the time I usually had flashing ROMs so I’m pretty content with my phone now. I will keep up with all the latest on this side while stuck on the dark side.

Coke announces distribution deal with Monster energy drink

ATLANTA The Coca-Cola Company decided Monday to take a bite (or a gulp, rather) out of Hansen Natural Corporation’s Monster Energy drink brand. Though many predicted Coke would take an equity stake in the company, it instead agreed on a long-term distribution deal that includes Canada, six Western European countries and about half of the United States.

It’s no wonder Coke is reaching out for help, considering it’s own energy drink brand—Full Throttle—showed an 11 percent drop in traded shares in the first half of the year. Energy drink sales are higher than that of many beverage types, but consumers are replacing the major energy drink labels for independent ones. Only Red Bull surpasses Monster’s current sales, and Brandweek named Monster Energy one of its 2007 Marketers of the Year. Rockstar, with whom Coke has already made a similar deal, joins the two brands as the most popular in the energy drink segment but has showed a 0.3 percent volume drop.

“We do believe that CCE is better off with having a growing brand [Monster] in 50 percent of the U.S. versus having a declining brand [Rockstar] in 100 percent of the United States. We also believe that down the road the Coke system could potentially pick up the balance of the United States,” said Morgan Stanley analyst William Pecoriello.

Anheuser-Busch will be distributing Monster throughout areas not included in Coke’s deal.

Walgreens posts modest June gains

DEERFIELD, Ill. Walgreens drove sales ahead by 9.9 percent in June, compared with the same month last year, and eked out a respectable, if not stellar, 3.4 percent gain in same-store sales for the period. At the front end of the store, comp-store sales were up 3.5 percent over June of 2007.

In an increasingly difficult climate for retail sales and consumer spending, Walgreens’ sales last month topped out at $4.81 billion. June front-end sales were helped in part by strong sales of promotional products, consumables and gift cards, the company reported today.

Also driving demand at the front of the store was Zyrtec, which recently switched from prescription to over-the-counter status. Zyrtec alone accounted for 0.5 percentage points of front-end gains, Walgreens revealed. But the shift of Zyrtec from prescription to over-the-counter status also drained the company’s same-store pharmacy sales by 0.6 percent.

On the negative side, front-end sales were hurt by comparisons to last year’s introduction in June of alli, the over-the-counter diet medication, and promotional pricing in the photofinishing department.

June pharmacy sales rose 9.7 percent, while comparable pharmacy sales increased 3.3 percent—anemic by Walgreens’ historic standards. Dragging comp-store performance at the pharmacy were generic drug introductions, which yield generally higher margins but lower top-line sales.

“Comparable pharmacy sales were negatively impacted by 2.1 percentage points due to generic drug introductions in the last 12 months,” Walgreens reported.

Total prescriptions filled at comparable stores increased 0.8 percent.

Calendar 2008 sales were $29.71 billion, an increase of 10.4 percent over 2007. Fiscal 2008 year-to-date sales for the 10 months were $49.25 billion, up 10.1 percent from the same period last year. Comp-store sales for the fiscal year to date increased 4.4 percent.

Walgreens said it opened 50 drug stores during June, including seven relocations, acquired three stores and closed one. ?As of June 30, the company operated 6,772 locations in 49 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

That figure includes 6,297 drug stores, 544 more than a year ago. The company also operates worksite health centers, home care facilities and specialty, institutional and mail service pharmacies. Its Take Care Health Systems subsidiary manages 183 convenient care clinics at Walgreens drug stores. Franchisees of Option Care, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Walgreens, are not included in Walgreens’ location or store count.

If you add a Jira back end to it, you add a new dimension of team reporting and automatic documentation. This second half takes Mylyn for a small test drive and shows a few of the powerful reporting features of Jira.

Yaz — The Next Generation: Sox draft Andover grandson of Hall of Famer

Bill Burt

ANDOVER — Like grandfather, like grandson.

At least that's what it seemed to be yesterday when the Red Sox announced, with their 36th round pick, that they had chosen Andover resident Michael Yastrzemski, grandson of ex-Red Sox star and Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski.

And where was the recent St. John's Prep graduate when the pick was made? Taking after his grandfather, Yastrzemski was in a boat with two friends Jake Gostanian and cousin Michael Lamagna ... fishing.

"I was nervous. I wanted to get away from the baseball scene. So I went fishing," said Yastrzemski. "It calmed me down ... until my mother called me to tell me I was drafted."

What does the Red Sox drafting Yastrzemski mean?

It means nothing. Yet it means everything.

Yastrzemski has already accepted a partial scholarship to SEC power Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tenn. What happened yesterday doesn't change that.

But being drafted is part of the evolution of a baseball player. Most major leaguers were drafted in high school.

Heck, Tom Brady was drafted in the 18th round by the Montreal Expos as a catcher.

"(The Red Sox scout) said he understood that I was probably going to go to college," said Yastrzemski. "But he also said that I deserved to be drafted. That I had worked hard to get where I am and that I earned it. And that the Red Sox were not wasting a pick on me (because of my name). That was nice to hear."

Amid the phone calls and back slaps, Yastrzemski, 18, said there were times he was melancholy.

Those were the times he thought about his dad, Michael, who died in September 2004 from complications after a surgery.

His father was drafted twice, once after graduating high school (Braves) and the other time after his junior year at Florida State (White Sox). After an All-American run at Florida State his father made it all the way to Triple-A before calling it a career.

"That was the tough part of the day. I thought about him a lot," said Yastrzemski. "Most of the credit for who I am as a baseball player goes to him. He taught me everything."

Attending Vanderbilt, which has made the NCAAs four straight years, appears to be a no-brainer.

It's one of the top academic schools in the country, one of the top baseball schools (6 Commodores and four recruits were drafted!), and at 5-11, 175 pounds, Yastrzemski has a lot of growing to do.

Before his dad died he told his only son to promise him one thing.

"He wanted me to go to college and get an education," said Yastrzemski. "He knew I wanted to play baseball, but you never know. It's always nice to have the education to fall back on."

While everyone in the family is on the same page in terms of Michael heading to Vanderbilt, grandpa Yaz said he'd like to come over the house soon and discuss his options.

"Carl called and said, 'We'll sit down and digest this and see what happens,'" said Michael's mother, Ann-Marie. "Carl was thrilled it was the Red Sox. I know Carl would love Michael to end up some day with the Red Sox. They were so good to him ... It just would be special."

E-mail Bill Burt at bburt@eagletribune.com.

Vanderbilt's Field is just like Fenway

Even if Michael Yastrzemski doesn't sign with the Red Sox, he'll feel like he's at Fenway.

Vanderbilt's Hawkins Field and Fenway have two things in common: a 35-foot left-field wall and the fans sing Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline in the middle of the 8th inning during games.

My dad has received his share of “World’s Greatest” tchotchkes, and he no longer has to wear neckties to work. He doesn’t need much in the way of material things, and he’s not one to get excited about the latest gadgets.

He does, however, love a good car.

The man has bought, sweat over, bled on, kicked, babied, traded and sold cars since he was 15 years old. The list of makes he’s owned is so long, I can’t even remember all the cars he went through in my childhood alone (though a few — the Green Hornet, the Creamsicle Dreamboat, the $50 Ford — live on in infamy.)

That’s why this Father’s Day, instead of a gift card (done that), concert tickets (done that, too) or a bucket full of car-washing supplies (definitely done that), I’m giving my dad an I.O.U. for a dad-daughter outing to one of the coolest hideaways the Valley has to offer auto fans: The Penske Racing Museum.

There are more than 20 cars (not to mention lots of memorabilia) at the small but mighty museum, most of them Indianapolis 500 winners driven by the likes of Rick Mears, Al Unser, Bobby Unser, Emerson Fittipaldi, Sam Hornish, Jr., and Al Unser, Jr. There’s also a replica of a 1963 Pontiac Catalina driven to victory by Roger Penske at the NASCAR Riverside 250 and Rusty Wallace’s 2005 Nextel Cup Dodge Charger.

The second-floor Turn 4 Cafe offers breakfast, lunch and your choice of view: 40 years of Penske Racing’s gleaming trophies or a Land Rover off-road course outside on the grounds of the Penske Automotive Group. The proximity of the dealerships means Dad can also drool over shiny new Lamborghinis, Porches, Jaguars, Bentleys and Rolls Royce cars if we feel like dreaming a little (OK, a lot) on the way out.

The museum is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday at 7125 E. Chauncey Lane, Phoenix. The cafe is closed on the weekends. Admission is free. Most of the Indy cars are currently on tour to celebrate the Indy 500’s centennial, so you may want to plan your visit for the fall, when all the cars are expected to be back on display.

Hamilton shuts out Gilbert - East Valley Tribune: VarsityXtra

Hamilton 42, Gilbert 0 Hamilton shuts out Gilbert

Font Size:

Larger font size

Posted: Friday, October 18, 2013 11:33 pm | Updated: 11:40 am, Sat Oct 19, 2013.

Following two close finishes in a row, the Hamilton football team left no doubt on Friday night with a 42-0 victory over Gilbert. The Huskies dominated from the opening kickoff, scoring on all five of their first half possessions.

“It was a great first half,” Hamilton coach Steve Belles said. “I thought our first team played really well and I thought our special teams played really well.”

Hamilton (6-2) received the opening kickoff and went 78 yards in over six minutes for their first score of the game. Senior quarterback Sam Sasso found receiver Elijah Williams for an 8-yard touchdown pass. It was the first of four touchdown passes on the night for the Hamilton signal caller.

“He’s a good quarterback, but when you are playing against good teams every week it is tough to get confidence,” said Belles. “Hopefully this will go a long way for his confidence, which will help us in the playoffs.”

One of Sasso’s favorite targets was sophomore Kyeler Burke, who caught two touchdowns on the night.

“The first touchdown catch was just a jump ball, Sam threw a good ball and I was able to go up there and get it,” Burke said. “On the second one I was able to find the corner and Sam threw the pass and I was able to make the play.”

The Hamilton defense was stout all night, allowing just three Gilbert first downs in the first half. Midway through the second quarter, senior defensive back Levi Sterling intercepted Tiger quarterback Tyler Anderson and returned it 45 yards for a touchdown.

With just over a minute left to play in the half, Sasso found running back Jerrion Acles for a 6-yard touchdown pass to put Hamilton up 42-0 heading into the half.

Hamilton called off the dogs in the second, putting in much of its reserves on both sides of the ball.

“We got kids in that we haven’t had the opportunity to get in this year,” said Belles.

The Huskies return home next week to play Highland, a game that Belles says the team will not overlook.

“We’re going to have to be A-game, they are a very well-disciplined football team,” said Belles. “I know they play great team defense so we are going to have to play well.”

Privacy Statement

EC-Council is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy applies to the EC-Council Web site and governs data collection and usage. By using the EC-Council website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Collection of your Personal Information

EC-Council collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. EC-Council also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by EC-Council. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by EC-Council for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the EC-Council Web site.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through EC-Council public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: EC-Council does not read any of your private online communications.

EC-Council encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from EC-Council so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. EC-Council is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the EC-Council and EC-Council family of Web sites.

Use of your Personal Information

EC-Council collects and uses your personal information to operate the EC-Council Web site and deliver the services you have requested. EC-Council also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from EC-Council and its affiliates. EC-Council may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

EC-Council does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. EC-Council may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, EC-Council may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to EC-Council, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

EC-Council does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

EC-Council keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within EC-Council, in order to determine what EC-Council services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within EC-Council to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

EC-Council Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on EC-Council or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of EC-Council; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of EC-Council, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The EC-Council Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize EC-Council pages, or register with EC-Council site or services, a cookie helps EC-Council to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same EC-Council Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the EC-Council features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the EC-Council services or Web sites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

EC-Council secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. EC-Council secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

EC-Council will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. EC-Council encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how EC-Council is protecting your information.
