Dimensions $13.58 If a group of fortysomething or fiftysomething headbangers wandered into a power metal revival concert in Europe in 2007, they probably would have thought they had found a time machine back to the late '70s or early '80s. They would encounter an abundance of long-haired headbangers in their teens and early twenties looking and dressing exactly as they had looked and dressed 25 years earlier, and would hear younger bands faithfully emulating the power metal of the Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan years. Freedom Call's first album, Stairway to Fairyland, came out in 1999, but their larger-than-life approach to power metal is firmly rooted in the Judas Priest/Iron Maiden/Queensrÿche/Manowar era -- and the German headbangers continue in that vein on 2007's Dimensions. This 51-minute CD doesn't pretend to point metal in any new directions; Dimensions, like previous Freedom Call releases, is totally derivative and not the least bit apologetic about it. Dimensions is quite oblivious to all the punk-minded, hip-hop-influenced alternative metal and alternative rock of the '90s and 2000s, and none of the material offers the slightest acknowledgement of death metal, black metal, grunge, metalcore, industrial metal, rap-metal, or even '80s thrash. But here's the thing: if you're going to be ultra-derivative, at least strive for quality -- and prog-influenced tracks such as "Blackened Sun," "My Dying Paradise," "Innocent World," and "Mr. Evil" point to the fact that Freedom Call, although not the least bit original, are enjoyably good at what they do. Instead of running away from the stereotypes of power metal, Freedom Call happily embrace them and do so without even the slightest trace of irony. Dimensions isn't in a class with the best albums that Priest, Maiden, Queensrÿche, or Manowar offered during power metal's heyday, but truly die-hard power metal enthusiasts will find it to be a decent example of what Europe's power metal revival field has to offer. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi Performers: Oliver Hartmann - Choir, Chorus; Armin Donderer - Guitar (Bass); Chris Bay - Vocals, Keyboards, Guitar; Dan Simmermann - Drums; Lars Rettkowicz - Guitar |

Rugby for the Younger Ones
Rugby is a team sport that is based on the original football. Rugby historians say the sport traces its origins back to the early 19th century, in Rugby School, England. Today, the sport has become a pastime for both men and women in different countries all over the world. There are even world leagues held every now and then, with countries pitting their best rugby players against each other to achieve the coveted World Cup.
However, in America, rugby doesn't seem to be as popular as in other countries. Most Americans see the sport as very violent, even more so than American football. This is why majority of the American youth are hesitant to play rugby. Although rugby games seem too rough for younger people, the sport is actually good for anyone, regardless of age.
Contrary to popular belief, rugby is actually a very safe sport. Rugby has relatively low injury rates compared to American football. It is ironic that the lack of protective equipment such as thick shoulder pads and sturdy protective headgear is the very reason why there is a smaller chance of players sustaining serious injuries. Since the head, neck and shoulders are unprotected, a rugby player does not perform reckless tackles and charges.
This relative safety of the sport allows young players from elementary to high school to join rugby games. Youth rugby league features slightly modified set of rules and regulations to accommodate smaller and younger players. Playing field dimensions are usually altered because normal rugby field sizes are too big for young players.
Fortunately, the sport is slowly losing its bad reputation as a dangerous sport, and the number of young rugby players is steadily increasing. Different rugby clubs from neighboring schools or towns sometimes hold a youth rugby league to experience playing with each other on a regular basis. This furthers the positive image of rugby as a sport.
Parents might initially be against their children joining a youth rugby league. However, as people develop a deeper understanding of rugby, the sport becomes more popular among elementary and high school children, and parents become more comfortable with the idea of their children playing an exciting yet safe sport.
