"Love it!"
I love Renew Gold. My horses gobble it up, and the goat even sneaks some too. I've notice since I've began feeding it, their coats are very shinny and their weights are very nice, I've began cutting back on their regular feed little by little. I really like the ingredients and the science behind this supplement. Jeffers has the best price on this product, just wish the shipping was not so expensive. I love this stuff and the great deal Jeffers offers on it.
"Best supplement ever!"
I have been using this product for about a year and it's the best supplement I've ever found. (I buy it at my local feed store.) I have a 31 year old mare that can't eat hay. I give her one pound a day of this, plus senior feed and it helps keep her in good condition. What's more I have been able to cut her senior feed almost in half. It's pricey but a little goes a long way and it has cut my feed costs way down. I also give 1/2 pound a day to my 16 year old gelding who has terrible bug allergies. (This is the only feed he gets.) This product has been a life-saver for him! He is usually miserable from spring to fall - he itches like crazy, his coat loses its glow and most of his hair falls out. This year I could barely see any allergy symptoms and his coat just glows. I usually give him an allergy shot at the beginning of summer and another later on but he didn't even need the second shot. There are very expensive coat supplements out there in tiny buckets that are basically flax meal and fillers. This is much more cost effective and contains flax, rice bran and coconut, which is a super food. What's more it smells heavenly! Try it, you won't be disappointed!

My 2nd great grandfather, Nelson Harris, his wife Louisa Cleveland, and their family came to Cato, WI in 1856. He opened a saw mill and built a beautiful home. In the early 1860's, Nelson and Louisa donated some of their land for the building of a Presbyterian Church and a cemetery. It is the final resting place of many of Cato's early settlers.
The first person to die in Cato was supposedly Nelson's father, John Earl Harris – "The death of Harris, an old gentleman, was supposedly the first death". John Earl was born in Greenfield, Saratoga Co., NY on June 15, 1798. He died on January 6, 1855.
John Earl Harris and his wife, Nancy Ormsbee are both buried in Cato Heights Cemetery. She was born in Barrington, Bristol Co., RI on April 6, 1796 and died on May 28, 1881 in Greenleaf, Brown Co., WI.
The church building is no longer there. The cemetery, however, is well maintained. It is surrounded by the beautiful farmland that once belonged to my Harris family.

The cultural and historical Princes of Reuss Route runs for approximately 110 km from Bad Köstritz to Bad Lobenstein via the Thuringian Vogtland which has been the seat of the House of Reuss and their predecessors, the Vogts of Weida, Gera and Plauen, since 1778. The Reuss dynasty is the only ruling German royal house whose ancestors rose from the status of unfree knights in the Middle Ages to become reigning princes.
The route runs through the territory governed by the imperial princes of Reuss for around 800 years and showcases the history of the stately House of Reuss. The first traceable ancestors of the House of Reuss arrived in the White Elster river region in the 12th century when they were given the fiefdom by Emperor Frederick Barbarossa (1152-1190). Erkenbert I was the patriarch of the House of Reuss.
The princely dynasty of Reuss
The House of Reuss was a multi-branched dynasty that ruled the Vogtland in Thuringia. Its members were originally imperial vogts (reeves) and later lords, then counts and, as far as the elder line is concerned, imperial princes after 1778, succeeded at various times by the younger lines. Although most of the dynasty's branches have now died out, the House of Reuss still exists today. Up to the First World War, principalities belonging to the younger line and elder line of the dynasty still existed.
History and legend
The Reuss dynasty were responsible for a number of the historic and cultural attractions found along the Princes of Reuss Route and even today, some exceptional architecture can be seen in the area's towns and villages. Well-fortified castles, fairytale castles, venerable abbeys and museums offer a fascinating insight into the historic roots of the region.
A princely land
The foothills of the Franconian Forest and the Rhenish-Westphalian Slate Mountains dominate the landscape whilst the valleys formed by the Saale, Wisenta, Weida and White Elster rivers lend it its unique appeal. The region is richly forested with countless reservoirs such as the Bleichlochtalsperre, one of the largest reservoirs in Germany.
A complex dynasty
Wander through a land as varied as life itself and discover more about the Reuss dynasty and how it was linked to Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.

Liam Payne Steps Out Shirtless in Toronto [PHOTOS]
Liam Payne sure likes to show off his upper torso!
The 20-year-old member of One Direction was photographed on the balcony of his Toronto, Canada hotel taking a cigarette break without his shirt on. The photos come after teasing fans with a prank "nude" photo on Instagram last week, and then later spotted canoodling with girlfriend Sophia Smith on a yacht earlier this week.
Liam Payne Steps Out for a Cigarette Break in Toronto
The boys of 1D kicked off the North American leg of the Where We Are Tour in Toronto on Friday night to a packed crowd at the Rogers Centre. Payne -- along with Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan -- next head to East Rutherford, NJ on Monday and Tuesday where they will perform for New York City and New Jersey fans.
As Directioners in the U.S. patiently wait for the band to make their way to their local arena, they'll have to settle by following the boys on social media with eye-opening photos like this.

White Papers and Application Notes
Surface Aeration System Modeling using COMSOL
Surface aeration systems are used in the wastewater treatment industry for the transfer of oxygen in the activated sludge process. These systems are capital intensive and also require a significant amount of energy to operate. Scale-up and design of these systems is largely empirical, and due to the size of these systems, modifications for experimental testing can be economically prohibitive. Small improvements in system efficiency can result in substantial savings in electrical costs.
The goal of this project is to develop improved techniques for predicting surface aeration system performance. The rotating machinery model (part of the CFD module within COMSOL) is well suited for the structure of the problem. Modeling of these systems involves many aspects of COMSOL, including free surface modeling, multiple mass transfer zones, and two phase bubbly flow.

Correcting Internet Myths About Aspartame
An article circulating on the Internet has called into question the safety of aspartame. To the best of our knowledge, none of the symptoms the writer and her "sources" have attributed to aspartame have been proven in any clinical scientific studies. We would like to respond to her comments to assure people with diabetes, who use products with aspartame, that we are unaware of any credible scientific evidence that aspartame is associated with any of the adverse effects noted in the Internet communication.
Aspartame is made up of two amino acids called aspartic acid and the methyl ester of phenylalanine. Amino acids and methyl esters are found naturally in foods like milk, meats, fruits and vegetables. When digested, the body handles the amino acids in aspartame in the same way as those in foods we eat daily.
Although aspartame can be used by the whole family, individuals with a rare genetic disease called phenylketonuria (PKU) need to be aware that aspartame is a source of the protein component, phenylalanine. Those who have PKU cannot properly metabolize phenylalanine and must monitor their intake of phenylalanine from all foods, including foods containing aspartame. In the U.S., every infant is screened for PKU at birth.
The Internet myth
"Especially deadly for diabetics": there is no question that aspartame has been beneficial to people with diabetes, enabling them to enjoy sweet tasting foods without the carbohydrates. Since it does not contain calories in the usual amounts consumed, it cannot affect blood glucose levels or cause weight gain.
The facts
An 8-oz glass of milk has six times more phenylalanine and thirteen times more aspartic acid than an equivalent amount of soda sweetened with NutraSweet.
An 8-oz glass of fruit juice or tomato juice contains three to five times more methanol than an equivalent amount of soda sweetened with NutraSweet.
Aspartame has been studied extensively, since 1965, with approximately 200 studies conducted in humans and animals. The safety of aspartame has been well established. The results of these scientific studies have shown that eating products sweetened with aspartame is no different from eating other foods and is not associated with adverse health effects.
It is unfortunate that the Internet's remarkable capacity to transmit information means that it can also transmit misinformation widely and with lightning speed.

Hey everyone! Welcome to our first installment of the Letters Column (that we still need a good name for). This is where we round up the questions we received from Patreon backers and respond. In case you're confused, here's the deal: patrons can ask us questions by hitting this link. If you'd like to become a patron, head over to our patreon!
How is Yuko's wrist/arm doing these days? Is she ok?
- Kim N.
It's doing much better these days! It's still healing and Yuko still has to wear a brace some of the time, but Yuko is at a point where she can work a couple of hours each day and it stays manageable.
Hi Yuko and Ananth,
I wanted to ask about what you guys were planning in the near future now that you've finished Lucky Penny (which was awesome btw!). Will you be returning to the previous format for the duration, or can we look forward to something different altogether (also sorry in advance if literally everyone is asking this)? I have to admit, as much as I enjoyed LP, I've always adored your autobio comics, but I'd really be excited for anything - your work is hugely inspiring.
Anyway, thanks for doing what you guys do, and I'm looking forward to whatever comes next!
Thank you! We loved doing Lucky Penny. We're not totally done... Yuko is still toning a lot of pages behind the scenes, and we have plans for some silly little follow-up stuff later this year.
Sorry if this isn't the type of question you wanted, or if it's off limits for being personal. But I've been curious since the campaign kicked off: Why did Ananth change his name?
- Jason F.
Hey! I've gotten this a few times so I just wanted to address it. It's not off-limits to ask, but my answer is that I've been thinking about it for a long time, there are a lot of reasons, and it's personal so I don't really want to get into it. Sorry! It won't change anything major as far as Johnny Wander is concerned.
- Kevin D.
Yuko: "When I was in middle school my mom gave me a book of Audubon paintings and I copied them diligently (to be honest, I did it to help me draw better and more realistic dragons). My first major comics influence was definitely Jen Wang. I was in high school- I saw that she had an ongoing webcomic and she was roughly my age and her art really appealed to me. Terryl Whitlatch's creature designs helped inform my own at an early age. I first became interested in fashion and drawing clothing because of the Tite Kubo's chapter breaks in Bleach. Studying Kali Ciesemier's art made me pay attention to design and layout. My current favorites are Florent Maudoux, Aki Irie, Ivan Bilibin, and Charley Harper."

The end is near. In mere days Portlandia wraps up its final season, and oh what a season it's been. Lucky for you, you can watch the entire season right now right here and on the IFC app, including this free episode courtesy of Subaru.
But now, let's take a moment to look back at some of the new classics Fred and Carrie have so thoughtfully bestowed upon us. (We'll be looking back through tear-blurred eyes, but you do you.)

Carrie and Fred understand that although we have so much in common, we're each so beautifully unique and different. To help us navigate those differences, Portlandia has found an easy and honest way to embrace our special selves in the form of a progressive new traffic system: a specific lane for every kind of driver. It's all in honor of the show's 8th and final season, and it's all presented by Subaru.

Bad luck follows you around and everyone knows it. Your proverbial seat is always damp from proverbial rain. Is this the universe telling you to swallow your pride? Yes.

Sisters Weekend isn't like other comedy groups. It's filmmaking collaboration between besties Angelo Balassone, Michael Fails and Kat Tadesco, self-described lace-front addicts with great legs who write, direct, design and produce video sketches and cinematic shorts that are so surreally hilarious that they defy categorization. One such short film, Celebrity All-Star, is the newest addition to IFC's Comedy Crib. Here's what they had to say about it in a very personal email interview…
IFC: How would you describe Celebrity All-Star to a fancy network executive you just met in an elevator?
Celebrity All-Star is a short film about an overworked reality TV coordinator struggling to save her one night off after the cast of C-List celebrities she wrangles gets locked out of their hotel rooms.
IFC: How would you describe Celebrity All-Star to a drunk friend of a friend you met in a bar?
Sisters Weekend: It's this short we made for IFC where a talent coordinator named Karen babysits a bunch of weird c-list celebs who are stuck in a hotel bar. It's everyone you hate from reality TV under one roof – and that roof leaks because it's a 2-star hotel. There's a magician, sexy cowboys, and a guy wearing a belt that sucks up his farts.
IFC: What was the genesis of Celebrity All-Star?
Celebrity All-Star was born from our love of embarrassing celebrities. We love a good c-lister in need of a paycheck! We were really interested in the canned politeness people give off when forced to mingle with strangers. The backstory we created is that the cast of this reality show called "Celebrity All-Star" is in the middle of a mandatory round of "get to know each other" drinks in the hotel bar when the room keys stop working. Shows like Celebrity Ghost Hunters and of course The Surreal Life were of inspo, but we thought it
was funny to keep it really vague what kind of show they're on, and just focus on everyone's diva antics after the cameras stop rolling.
IFC: Every celebrity in Celebrity All-Star seems familiar. What real-life pop personalities did you look to for inspiration?
Sisters Weekend: Anyone who is trying to plug their branded merch that no one asked for. We love low-rent celebrity. We did, however, directly reference Kylie Jenner's turd-raison lip color for our fictional teen celebutante Gibby Kyle (played by Mary Houlihan).
IFC: Celebrity seems disgusting yet desirable. What's your POV? Do you crave it, hate it, or both?
Sisters Weekend: A lot of people chase fame. If you're practical, you'll likely switch to chasing success and if you're smart, you'll hopefully switch to chasing happiness. But also, "We need money. We need hits. Hits bring money, money bring power, power bring fame, fame change the game," Young Thug.
IFC: Who are your comedy idols?
Sisters Weekend: Mike grew up renting "Monty Python" tapes from the library and staying up late to watch 2000's SNL, Kat was super into Andy Kaufman and "Kids In The Hall" in high school, and Angelo was heavily influenced by "Strangers With Candy" and Anna Faris in the Scary Movie franchise, so, our comedy heroes mesh from all over. But, also we idolize a lot of the people we work with in NY- Lorelei Ramirez, Erin Markey, Mary Houlihan, who are all in the film, Amy Zimmer, Ana Fabrega, Patti Harrison, Sam Taggart. Geniuses! All of Em!
IFC: What's your favorite moment from the film?
Sisters Weekend: I mean…seeing Mary Houlihan scream at an insane Pomeranian on an iPad is pretty great.

Baroness von Sketch Show is snowballing as people have taken note of its subtle and not-so-subtle skewering of everyday life. The New York Times, W Magazine, and Vogue have heaped on the praise, but IFC had a few more probing questions…
IFC: To varying degrees, your sketches are simply scripted examples of things that actually happen. What makes real life so messed up?
Aurora: Hubris, Ego and Selfish Desires and lack of empathy.
Carolyn: That we're trapped together in the 3rd Dimension.
Jenn: 1. Other people 2. Other people's problems 3. Probably something I did.
IFC: A lot of people I know have watched this show and realized, "Dear god, that's me." or "Dear god, that's true." Why do people have their blinders on?
Aurora: Because most people when you're in the middle of a situation, you don't have the perspective to step back and see yourself because you're caught up in the moment. That's the job of comedians is to step back and have a self-awareness about these things, not only saying "You're doing this," but also, "You're not the only one doing this." It's a delicate balance of making people feel uncomfortable and comforting them at the same time.
IFC: Unlike a lot of popular sketch comedy, your sketches often focus more on group dynamics vs iconic individual characters. Why do you think that is and why is it important?
Meredith: We consider the show to be more based around human dynamics, not so much characters. If anything we're more attracted to the energy created by people interacting.
Jenn: So much of life is spent trying to work it out with other people, whether it's at work, at home, trying to commute to work, or even on Facebook it's pretty hard to escape the group.
IFC: Are there any comedians out there that you feel are just nailing it?
Aurora: I love Key and Peele. I know that their show is done and I'm in denial about it, but they are amazing because there were many times that I would imagine that Keegan Michael Key was in the scene while writing. If I could picture him saying it, I knew it would work. I also kind of have a crush on Jordan Peele and his performance in Big Mouth. Maya Rudolph also just makes everything amazing. Her puberty demon on Big Mouth is flawless. She did an ad for 7th generation tampons that my son, my husband and myself were singing around the house for weeks. If I could even get anything close to her career, I would be happy. I'm also back in love with Rick and Morty. I don't know if I have a crush on Justin Roiland, I just really love Rick (maybe even more than Morty). I don't have a crush on Jerry, the dad, but I have a crush on Chris Parnell because he's so good at being Jerry.
Jenn: I LOVE ISSA RAE!
IFC: If you could go back in time and cast yourselves in any sitcom, which would it be and how would it change?
Carolyn: I'd go back in time and cast us in The Partridge Family. We'd make an excellent family band. We'd have a laugh, break into song and wear ruffled blouses with velvet jackets. And of course travel to all our gigs on a Mondrian bus. I feel really confident about this choice.
Meredith: Electric Mayhem from The Muppet Show. It wouldn't change, they were simply perfect, except… maybe a few more vaginas in the band.
Binge the entire first and second seasons of Baroness von Sketch Show now on IFC.com and the IFC app.
Brothers-in-law Kevin Barker and Ben Miller have just made the mother of all Comedy Crib series, in the sense that their Comedy Crib series is a big deal and features a hot mom. Animated, funny, and full of horrible bacteria, the series juxtaposes timeless teen dilemmas and gut-busting GI infections to create a bite-sized narrative that's both sketchy and captivating. The two sat down, possibly in the same house, to answer some questions for us about the series. Let's dig in….
IFC: How would you describe E.Coli High to a fancy network executive you just met in an elevator?
BEN: Hi ummm uhh hi ok well its like umm (gets really nervous and blows it)…
KB: It's like the Super Bowl meets the Oscars.
IFC: How would you describe E.Coli High to a drunk friend of a friend you met in a bar?
BEN: Oh wow, she's really cute isn't she? I'd definitely blow that too.
KB: It's a cartoon that is happening inside your stomach RIGHT NOW, that's why you feel like you need to throw up.
IFC: What was the genesis of E.Coli High?
KB: I had the idea for years, and when Ben (my brother-in-law, who is a special needs teacher in Philly) began drawing hilarious comics, I recruited him to design characters, animate the series, and do some writing. I'm glad I did, because Ben rules!
BEN: Kevin told me about it in a park and I was like yeah that's a pretty good idea, but I was just being nice. I thought it was dumb at the time.
IFC: What makes going to proms and dating moms such timeless and oddly-relatable subject matter?
BEN: Since the dawn of time everyone has had at least one friend with a hot mom. It is physically impossible to not at least make a comment about that hot mom.
KB: Who among us hasn't dated their friend's mom and levitated tables at a prom?
IFC: Why do you think the world is ready for this series?
BEN: There's a lot of content now. I don't think anyone will even notice, but it'd be cool if they did.
KB: A show about talking food poisoning bacteria is basically the same as just watching the news these days TBH.
Watch E.Coli High below and discover more NYTVF selections from years past on IFC's Comedy Crib.
We've been fans of Funny or Die since we first met The Landlord. That enduring love makes it more than logical, then, that IFC is totally cool with FOD hijacking the airwaves every Saturday night. Yes, that's happening.
The appropriately titled FOD TV looks like something pulled from public access television in the nineties. Like lo-fi broken-antenna reception and warped VHS tapes. Equal parts WTF and UHF.
Get ready for characters including The Shirtless Painter, Long-Haired Businessmen, and Pigeon Man. They're aptly named, but for a better sense of what's in store, here's a taste of ASMR with Kelly Whispers:
Watch FOD TV every Saturday night during IFC's regularly scheduled movies.
Okay, so you missed the entire first season of Stan Against Evil. There's no shame in that, per se. But here's the thing: Season 2 is just around the corner and you don't want to lag behind. After all, Season 1 had some critical character development, not to mention countless plot twists, and a breathless finale cliffhanger that's been begging for resolution since last fall. It also had this:
The good news is that you can catch up right now on Hulu. Phew. But if you aren't streaming yet, here's a basic primer…
Willards Mill Is Evil
Stan spent his whole career as sheriff oblivious to the fact that his town has a nasty curse. Mostly because his recently-deceased wife was secretly killing demons and keeping Stan alive.
Demons Really Want To Kill Stan
The curse on Willards Mill stipulates that damned souls must hunt and kill each and every town sheriff, or "constable." Oh, and these demons are shockingly creative.
They Also Want To Kill Evie
Why? Because Evie's a sheriff too, and the curse on Willard's Mill doesn't have a "one at a time" clause. Bummer, Evie.
Stan and Evie Must Work Together
Beating the curse will take two, baby, but that's easier said than done because Stan doesn't always seem to give a damn. Damn!
Beware of Goats
It goes without saying for anyone who's seen the show: If you know that ancient evil wants to kill you, be wary of anything that has cloven feet.
Season 2 Is Lurking
Scary new things are slouching towards Willards Mill. An impending darkness descending on Stan, Evie and their cohort – eviler evil, more demony demons, and whatnot. And if Stan wants to survive, he'll have to get even Stanlier.
Stan Against Evil Season 1 is now streaming right now on Hulu.
Unless you stopped paying attention to the world at large in 1989, you are of course aware that the '90s are having their pop cultural second coming. Nobody is more acutely aware of this than Dara Katz and Betsy Kenney, two comedians who met doing improv comedy and have just made their Comedy Crib debut with the hilarious '90s TV throwback series, The Place We Live.
IFC: How would you describe "The Place We Live" to a fancy network executive you just met in an elevator?
Dara: It's everything you loved–or loved to hate—from Melrose Place and 90210 but condensed to five minutes, funny (on purpose) and totally absurd.
IFC: How would you describe "The Place We Live" to a drunk friend of a friend you met in a bar?
Betsy: "Hey Todd, why don't you have a sip of water. Also, I think you'll love The Place We Live because everyone has issues…just like you, Todd."
IFC: When you were living through the '90s, did you think it was television's golden age or the pop culture apocalypse?
Betsy: I wasn't sure I knew what it was, I just knew I loved it!
Dara: Same. Was just happy that my parents let me watch. But looking back, the '90s honored The Teen. And for that, it's the golden age of pop culture.
IFC: Which '90s shows did you mine for the series, and why?
Betsy: Melrose and 90210 for the most part. If you watch an episode of either of those shows you'll see they're a comedic gold mine. In one single episode, they cover serious crimes, drug problems, sex and working in a law firm and/or gallery, all while being young, hot and skinny.
Dara: And almost any series we were watching in the '90s, Full House, Saved By the Bell, My So Called Life has very similar themes, archetypes and really stupid-intense drama. We took from a lot of places.
IFC: How would you describe each of the show's characters in terms of their '90s TV stereotype?
Dara: Autumn (Sunita Mani) is the femme fatale. Robin (Dara Katz) is the book worm (because she wears glasses). Candace (Betsy Kenney) is Corey's twin and gives great advice and has really great hair. Corey (Casey Jost) is the boy next door/popular guy. Candace and Corey's parents decided to live in a car so the gang can live in their house. Lee (Jonathan Braylock) is the jock.
IFC: Why do you think the world is ready for this series?
Dara: Because everyone's feeling major '90s nostalgia right now, and this is that, on steroids while also being a totally new, silly thing.
Delight in the whole season of The Place We Live right now on IFC's Comedy Crib. It'll take you back in all the right ways.

Hello everyone.
As the thread title says, I can't seem to access my desktop UPnP server from my Android phone while on a different network.
I'm using foobar2000 v1.3.11 on Windows 7, I've set up the UPnP server with the BubbleUPnP plugin, and I'm accessing it through foobar2000 mobile v1.0.55 lite, on Android 6.0.
While both devices are on the same network, everything works just fine. But my main goal was to have remote access to my library, so I allowed "Internet access" on the UPnP settings, and added the UPnP server on f2k mobile as the settings suggested:
<login> being a user-set name,Code:http://<login>:<pass>@<ip>:<port>/content/psc.mp3
<pass> being a user-set password,
<ip> being my public IP address, and
<port> being the HTTP port I chose for UPnP.
But after that I'm lost. Should the server show up automatically on my UPnP servers list on f2k mobile?
I've already forwarded the port on my router and tested to see if it was actually open, everything seems to be in order.
What am I not doing or doing incorrectly?

Cyndi Lauper said her musical playlist includes Pink, Nicki Minaj and Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe." Boy band The Wanted is excited to see "Gangnam Style" PSY and Colbie Caillat wants to see No Doubt.
The stars walking the red carpet before Sunday's American Music Awards were ready to take their seats as fans. Early arrivals included Luke Bryan, the Backstreet Boys and Linkin Park.
"What makes the American Music Awards special is the fans choose the winning artists," said Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, who is nominated for favorite artist alternative rock and will perform at the show.
U.S. & World
Along with Rihanna, Minaj is the top nominee at Sunday's American Music Awards, but the rapper-singer isn't concerned with her four nominations.
"I don't do music for awards," the 29-year-old said in an interview. "It's so crazy because people always have to remind me that I'm nominated for an award when I go to award shows."
"I know they're going to come. I'm sitting here looking at my awards right now," she continued with a laugh. "I never stress it. I think of myself as 'I'll have a career long enough to get all those different awards.'"
In the pop/rock category, Minaj is up for favorite female artist and album for "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded." She's also nominated for favorite artist and album in the hip-hop/rap category, two awards she won last year.
Minaj isn't up for the night's top award, though. Rihanna, Maroon 5, Drake, Katy Perry and Justin Bieber will battle it out for artist of the year.
But the American Music Awards are all about performances, and Sunday's show will be no exception. Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood will perform. Justin Bieber will share the stage with Minaj. Ludacris and Chris Brown will perform with Swizz Beatz. And Stevie Wonder is set to provide the soundtrack for a tribute to the late Dick Clark.
"I'm really going there to perform 'Freedom,'" Minaj said of her new single. "I'm very, very proud of the record and I'm happy that people are going to get to hear it. I'm performing a hip-hop song on the AMAs, and I think . that's just a big look for hip-hop."
Rae Jepsen, Kelly Clarkson and Usher are also among those set to sing during the three-hour program, which is to be broadcast live on ABC.
Other multiple nominees include Usher, Bieber, Drake, Maroon 5 and One Direction, who have three nods each. Perry, Underwood, Brown, Clarkson, Pitbull, fun., Gotye, J. Cole and Luke Bryan are all double nominees.
American Music Awards nominees were selected based on sales and airplay, and fans chose the winners by voting online.
The 40th anniversary show will also include the tribute to Clark, its creator.
"Dick changed the face of music back in the late '50s," producer Larry Klein said. "Dick is the one who made rock 'n' roll acceptable to come into people's homes... We're paying tribute to Dick because of the legacy that he's left everybody and also the creativity of what he did on this show."

HELLHOLE cover paintings
Stephen Youll, the fantastic artist who has done most of our Dune covers (as well as my three Star Wars anthologies and my solo novel Blindfold) has delivered his cover paintings for HELLHOLE, the first book in my new epic SF trilogy with Brian Herbert. Steve painted two variations on a spectacular scene that really captures the planet Hellhole…a terrible place that only the most desperate colonists will accept, but also with a majestic secret. An all-new science fiction saga for those who enjoyed my Dune novels with Brian Herbert or my Saga of Seven Suns series.
The version without the kneeling figure will be the UK cover from Simon & Schuster UK, and the painting with the figure will be the US cover from Tor.
(UK Cover)
(US cover)
The book will be published in England this October and in the US in February.

25 July 2013 | News | By BioSpectrum Bureau
Singapore: Global organization, International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF), and New Zealand dairy firm, Fonterra have come together to fund and support research on female bone health in Indonesia.
Dr Suharti Suherman of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia has been awarded a grant of approximately $43,000 (Swiss Francs 40,000 for her research into the profile of bone mineral density (BMD), muscle strength and related lifestyle habits in young Indonesian women. Dr. Suharti is Principal Investigator for this joint research project by the Indonesian Union of Osteoporosis (PEROSI) and the Indonesian Healthy Bone Foundation (PERWATUSI). The research was selected from 19 applications, with projects from China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Vietnam eligible for the grant.
Explaining the study Dr Suharti Suherman said, "I am absolutely delighted to have been awarded this grant which is fundamental in helping me carry out this important research. There is currently a lack of data to help health professionals in Indonesia build effective osteoporosis management and prevention strategies, and I believe that my research will help to fill this gap.
"The objective of this study is to discover the prevalence of low BMD among young Indonesian women, aged 25-35 years old, and the profile of its risk factors. Data will be collected from 450 women from across Jakarta, from which we will learn the relationship between bone mineral density, muscle strength and lifestyle habits," she added.
International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) CEO, Ms Judy Stenmark, said osteoporosis is real and growing concern across Asia. She added that this research will enable a better understanding of the state of bone health in Indonesia.
"The incidence of hip fracture has risen two-to-three fold in Asian countries during the past 30 years and it's expected that by 2050 more than 50 percent of all osteoporotic fractures will occur in the region," she said.
"While this is a clear issue in the region, we are lacking up-to-date and in-depth data on the state of bone health in particular countries. We established this grant, alongside our long-term partner Fonterra, to support an observational, epidemiological study that seeks to understand more about the state of bone health in Asia. Dr Suharti's research works in tandem with our key goals, to promote medical innovation and to improve patient care in the field of musculoskeletal health," she said.

Bertha and Donald Wilkinson
Circa 1925
7 Dearborn Avenue, Beverly, Massachusetts
This is an ongoing series of Monday posts to transcribe an audio cassette tape my Grandmother, Bertha Louise (Roberts) Wilkinson (1897 – 1990), made in the 1970s. She was born in Leeds, Yorkshire, England, and came to America with her family in 1915 via 1915. She describes her childhood, immigration, and youth in the previous transcriptions of this audio tape. In this last part of the tape Bertha describes her marriage, in Beverly, Massachusetts, and her three sons. The story ends suddenly, as if she just ran out of tape. I'm sure that she would have kept going if the tape allowed, Grammy loved to talk and tell stories!
"I married Don and his people were very nice to us. And when we got married we just had a quiet family wedding. I still kept on working for a while. And of course we were married on a Thanksgiving Day 1926. I think the date was November 25th, 1926. I remember that day was quite hectic but we had the family, and an Episcopalian minister married us. We went to Boston for just a couple of days. My sister stayed with my mother and then I kept on working. Oh, when we went away for our honeymoon Don's sister tried to pull away his suitcase for him. And he kept hanging on to it and he got a black eye from the door banging into his eye. So he had a black eye on our honeymoon and people joked about that but he really didn't feel a bit good. And Don's cousin gave us tickets to see "The Student Prince" and then we went to the "Miracle" while we were in Boston.
So then time went along and I wanted a baby in the worst way and my mother couldn't understand why I would want a baby when she was so sick. But finally I did get pregnant and I kept on working just the same and I worked really longer than I thought because I didn't expect my baby to com until the latter part of January. He came New Year's Day 1927. We were going to a party at Don's aunt's the night before but I landed in the hospital. My baby was the first baby born in Beverly that year. But they didn't do anything about it then. But I saw him born and my doctor... I thought he was ... It was just wonderful. Don saw him born, too. He stayed in the room with me and so when the baby was born he looked just like he had a haircut. He had auburn colored hair. It was so pretty. But he cried an awful lot. I think it perhaps was because of the sadness I had in my home. I tried to keep going and it was sad. Anyway, I loved my baby and we went over to... before he was born I went over to Don's people because I was exhaused and my mother went over to my sister's house and my mother passed away over there. And my baby was six weeks old when my mother died. I took the baby over there to show her the baby and then she was buried from the house on Dearborn Avenue. My baby....
Then I had a pregnancy and I had a miscarriage and then I named my first baby Robert Munroe and my second baby Richard Albert. He was born May the 9th, 1934. He lives in Long Beach California. Then I had my youngest son John Warren Wilkinson. He was born January the 3rd, 1932. No, Richard was born in 32 and Jack was born in 34. January the 3rd.
So I enjoyed my children very much and my husband didn't make too much money and we went through the Depression and of course he worked on short time for quite a while. But, we didn't… we managed and I did some things to help out. We boarded some children for a while. And then I had a young lady live with me for a long time, about eight years. And she was like a daughter or a younger sister. I had a little boy live with me for four years. So I did things to help out. And I did quite a bit of babysitting, too, when the children got older. Then when the children got older I went to work at the General Electric. Because there was a war going on and I had to go in as a matron, and I worked as a matron for a while and then I got transfered down to the sheet metal department. I worked there on the night shift. It wasn't too easy though because I would work from eleven to seven in the morning. I got a ride bck and forth but it wasn't too good for me healthwise and I was sick after a while. I had my veins stripped in my legs and …... they were stripped. And I had to walk as soon as I could after they were stripped. So I went back to work soon after that and my boss let me go to the tool department and do errands for him so I could walk. But my legs have been pretty bad. I had them stripped twice and then...
I will have to tell you about coming to this country… All the things that I have said up to this point were all in this country of course. I became a citizen and married my husband. He was a citizen of this country and had my children and now they went to high school. The high school was very near where we lived. And when my oldest boy graduated, he wanted to get in the service. His eyes were quite bad but he did finally get into the infantry but he got into the paratroopers. Of course, he went to Japan and while he was on the way there they transferred him to the paratroopers medical corps. He was in Japan. The war was over then but really, I think he enjoyed his stay over there in Japan. He should have, he really should have studied to be a doctor because while he was in high school he would go to the hospital as an orderly with another boy. And, but, he didn't want to study hard enough for that. He had a high IQ but he really didn't care too much about being indoors and when he first went to school he used to ask if he could stand near the window 'cause he was outdoors so much before he went there.
Then my second son, he went... After he finished high school he went to Northeastern College for a while. Oh, he went into the service and he was in Japan. But he was in the intelligence and he was in Kyoto, a beautiful place. It used to be the capital city. He would write, send tapes to us about the life over there and we would sent tapes back and he would write. He used to write beautiful letters telling all about the life in Japan. Some of his companions were just helling around with the girls but he wrote these letters and said for me to send his music. He had studied the piano. He started when he was about 8 years old and he wanted his music. They had told him at the hotel in Kyoto that he could play whenever he wanted to. He said he wanted to be as good as the girl he married. He came home, but he wanted, too, before he went to Japan, he and some of his companions thought they would like to go to UCLA. Richard was interested in studying foreign languages so when he came home after a while he was really... was undecided about what to do. He really wanted to come back to California. He had an opportunity to chauffeur two elderly ladies. He came earlier than he intended and he was homesick though for quite a while. But he worked for a year, then he went to City College and then he went to state university and he's been teaching a long time. He teaches junior high. He also teaches piano and while he was here he got interested in the Mormon Church. We didn't know what it was all about and he wanted to be married to this girl, Louanne Miller. She was in the church. And he studied it and finally decided to join. Then he told us about it. The missionaries came to explain things to us. And we knew we couldn't see him married unless we were members. But we did come the following year for a month. And so we studied the church, too..." End of tape

(Washington, D.C.) As the fourth quarter of 2011 begins—typically the most important time of year for fundraising—fewer than half of surveyed nonprofits reported fundraising increases during the first half of 2011 compared with the same period in 2010.
According to a report released today by the Nonprofit Research Collaborative (NRC), of 813 responding nonprofits surveyed in July:
- 44 percent reported increases in charitable contributions received through June, compared with the same period in 2010;
- 25 percent reported giving remained level; and
- 30 percent reported charitable contributions have declined so far this year.
- 1 percent did not know.
These numbers are barely changed from the NRC 2010 year-end survey, when 43 percent of respondents indicated they raised more money in 2010 than they did in 2009. At that time, almost a quarter (24 percent) saw giving remaining level, and 33 percent raised less.
These results indicate that nonprofit organizations still face a difficult fundraising climate. In AFP's 2007 State of Fundraising Survey, which asked the same questions as the 2011 NRC study, 65 percent of respondents raised more money that year, before the recession, than in 2006. Eleven percent raised about the same, and 24 percent raised less.
"A much larger percentage of nonprofits were seeing significantly higher fundraising results before the recession," said Andrew Watt, FInstF, president and CEO of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP). "With many economists predicting a flat economy for several more years, charities face a very challenging environment in the near future, with fewer funds available while the demand for services and programs remains quite high. This is the reality charities will have to address."
Results by Subsector and Growth
The NRC surveys found that the relatively low share of nonprofits reporting growth in contributions received began during the recession and lingered for all subsectors through the first half of 2011. In the current survey, human services organizations fared best, but only 50 percent of those organizations reported increases in the first half of the year. International charities had the smallest share of organizations reporting increases, at just 20 percent, although those numbers may be affected by the Haiti earthquake and high donation levels in 2010.
There were marked differences based on size, with larger organizations achieving greater fundraising success. Fifty-seven percent of the largest organizations in the survey (budgets of $3 million or greater) raised more funds in the first half of 2011, compared with just 34 percent of charities with budgets of less than $250,000.
Implementing Campaigns and What's Ahead
In one strategy to raise more funds, charities are planning for and implementing capital and other fundraising campaigns. Of the NRC respondents, 12 percent are currently involved in a campaign, while 34 percent are in the planning stages. Organizations currently in specific fundraising campaigns were somewhat more likely to see gifts increasing, with 62 percent reporting they had raised more money in the first half of 2011 compared to the same time in 2010. The only exception was for organizations with annual expenditures of less than $250,000; they did not see any significant increases.
"To help donors focus on achievable results, many charities now are setting up short-term special campaigns," said Nancy Raybin, on behalf of Giving USA Foundation."By setting discrete fundraising goals for specific activities, nonprofits find they can break through the uncertainty about the economy and help donors connect their gifts to community needs."
About the Survey
When asked for their thoughts about the most successful fundraising methods for the rest of the year, two-thirds (67 percent) reported they would focus on large-scale efforts to reach many people through direct mail, special events, online campaigns and similar activities. Forty-five percent said they would focus on larger gifts, while 28 percent said they saw foundation and corporate support as their biggest potential growth area.
The Nonprofit Research Collaborative findings about fundraising methods used, campaigns, and more are available in the full report at:http://www2.guidestar.org/rxg/news/publications/nonprofits-and-economy-fall-2011.aspx.
The online survey was conducted in July 2011 about fundraising efforts at participating nonprofits from January through June. Eligible and complete responses numbered 813. The respondents as analyzed form a convenience sample. There is no margin of error or measure of statistical significance using this sampling technique, as it is not a random sample of the population studied.
About the Nonprofit Research Collaborative
The NRC is composed of seven organizations that each have, at a minimum, a decade of direct experience collecting information from nonprofits concerning charitable receipts, fundraising practices and/or grantmaking activities.
The collaborating partners to date are:
- Association of Fundraising Professionals, which surveys members on a wide range of fundraising activities;
- Blackbaud, Inc., which publishes The Blackbaud Index and prepares a report about the State of the Nonprofit Industry;
- The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, which conducts a wide range of research studies on philanthropy and giving;
- The Foundation Center, which provides services to nonprofit organizations and documents trends in foundation giving worldwide;
- Giving USA Foundation, which has published the Giving USA Annual Report on Philanthropy for over 50 years;
- GuideStar USA, Inc., which has issued annual reports about the impact of the economy on the nonprofit sector since 2002 and
- The National Center for Charitable Statistics at the Urban Institute, which tracks the finances and activities of nonprofit organizations and prepares the Nonprofit Almanac and other publications and resources.
The collaborative effort reduces the burden on charities, which receive fewer requests for survey participation. Survey respondents will form a panel over time, allowing for trend comparisons among the same organizations. This approach provides more useful benchmarking information than repeated cross-sectional studies.
The Nonprofit Research Collaborative (NRC) conducts these surveys three times a year.

David Atkins at the liberal blog Calitics has a new idea for changing taxation in California: change the 2/3 vote requirement for tax increases to make it easier to tax the rich.
He argues that while most voters don't want to change the requirement -- which was part of Prop 13 -- they might be willing to do so if the change affected only tax increases on corporations and on housesholds making at least $250,000 (or $300,000). So for businesses and the rich, a new tax would require only a majority of vote. The rest of us would still have protection.
Atkins is convinced that this would pass constitutional muster. I'm not so sure. Yes, progressive taxation when it comes to rates -- that is, charging higher rates for people with higher incomes -- is constitutional. But having a different constitutional standard for votes on taxes that depend on who is being taxed is another question.
U.S. & World
Either way, it's another sign that the left is determined to tax the rich. The California Federation of Teachers recently indicated support for an initiative that would raise taxes on the top 1 percent of California earners.
Whatever you think of the merits of taxing the rich, this much is clear: higher taxes on the rich are not in and of themselves a solution to the budget problem. Part of this reality is math. The revenues from taxes on the rich are not in and of themselves enough to solve the budget crisis. (The CFT tax would bring in only $2.5 billion, at a time when the state is facing a budget hole 10 times that). The other part is that the budget system itself constantly works to create deficits, by ratcheting up certain kinds of spending and ratcheting down the tax base.
That system needs to be blown up and redesigned first. And yes, one change should be the elimination of the two-thirds requirement on tax increases (as well as other supermajority requirements for fees and certain budget items). But it would be better if the elimination of these rules applied to everyone. Democracy isn't just for the rich.

Plenty of companies — large and small — that derive the bulk of their business locally can increase brand exposure and awareness with "rolling promotions" all year long!
Another good reason for putting your marketing in motion? Economy. One industry study says that vehicle graphics can be the most cost-efficient form of out-of-home advertising. It reports that car signs, truck graphics, trailer wraps and the like reach consumers at a lower cost-per-thousand impressions than other media.
With vehicle graphics, almost anything that moves can become your mobile billboard
You'd naturally think of cars, trucks and trailers when considering vehicle graphics. But, almost anything that rolls, floats or flies can be custom branded with your company name, logo and message by KKP:
• Aircraft
• Boats
• Buses
• Cars
• Food trucks
• Golf carts
• Limousines
• Motorcycles
• Personal watercraft (e.g., Jet Skis®, Sea-Doos®, etc.)
• Pickups
• Snowmobiles
• Trailers
• Trucks
• Vans
Big, medium or small — there are many great ways to go with vehicle graphics
Custom vehicle graphics from KKP can as large as a full wrap complemented by window graphics, or as small as a decal. Consider these choices:
• Full vehicle wraps: With a full wrap the entire car, truck or other vehicle is wrapped in a thin layer of rugged vinyl that displays your graphics in vibrant colours. They adhere firmly but are not permanent. When it comes time to take your vehicle out of service, fleet graphics come off easily. That's why operators of leased cars and trucks give auto graphics the green light!
• Partial wraps: As the term implies, partial wraps typically cover 25-75% of a vehicle's surface. With these solutions, our graphic designers integrate your original paint colour into your custom vehicle graphic design.
• Window graphics: Many mobile marketers combine window graphics with their vehicle wraps to for maximum promotional impact. The rear window and some side windows can be wrapped in perforated-vinyl designs that allows partial visibility.
• Decals: Custom car decals, custom truck decals and similar solutions are designs printed on vinyl that adhere to your car, truck or trailer's surface. Use this vehicle advertising for smaller applications such as your company's logo or selected graphics.
• Other options: Looking for alternate ways to promote your business with vehicle advertising? Our solutions include vinyl vehicle lettering and numbers. They also extend to car-top magnetic signs and door-side magnetic signs.
One more way vehicle graphics go the extra kilometer? Even when parked between deliveries or service calls, vehicle graphics can serve as additional onsite signage at your place of business! See KKP to begin benefiting from these "24/7" promotional solutions.
Not sure what you are looking for?
KKP is professional, high quality, fairly priced, punctual, and reliable. I highly recommend KKP for their printing services and customer service.

When it comes to sticking to a weight loss program or just trying to manage your calories to stay at your optimal weight, it isn't always lack of willpower or snacking, but it could come down to not being prepared. Making sure you have your program all set and ready to go is key and the OurSkinny Weight Loss Program makes sticking to your diet as easy as grab-and-go.
To get your diet going you very well could have the best intentions, but that first day you wake up late, don't have your food prepared or forgot to go shopping and then you find yourself at the nearest fast food drive thru for breakfast and likely lunch to make it through the day. OurSkinny has made it very simple for you to make it through your day satisfied and then finish your day with an enjoyable meal.
OurSkinny is not your typical store shelf or online all hype and no result group of products, the line was created by Ourlife Health, an innovative health and wellness company led by Dr. Paul S. Bradley and a group of 60 area physicians in Savannah, Georgia. In addition to the expertise that went into the creation of OurSkinny, you also have access to an expert support team that can assist you in ways to your lifestyle for a long term weight loss as well as healthier lifestyle.
The idea behind OurSkinny is that you take four shakes throughout the day and one mini meal, which can be a bar, soup, maple brown sugar oatmeal and OurSkinny even has hot chocolate that is only 80 calories and packs in 15 grams of protein.
Instead of starving yourself, which never works, you drink shakes throughout the day and they will manage to keep your appetite in check. The shakes are all high in protein and low in calories, fat and carbohydrates. The key thing about the shakes is the taste. All too often when someone puts together some type of liquid product it not only does not keep you satisfied, but it so lacks in taste that you quickly give up. The OurSkinny shakes all clearly have been developed with that in mind as they taste just as the label says. From the chocolate or vanilla pro, to lemon raspberry, chocolate, cappuccino and my favorite the orange dream, these all really pack a lot of flavor and let your taste buds have a treat while you are dropping the pounds. The simplicity in OurSkinny is they are all in their own bottle, you just add cold water, give a shake and they are ready to go. So you wake up, just grab four bottles, throw them in your bag with a bar and you are set for the day.
If you thought the shakes sounded good, wait until you see the list of bars. The flavors include; caramel brownie, caramel crunch, caramel nut, chocolate peanut (crispy), cinnamon raisin (crispy), peanut butter (crispy), double chocolate (crispy), lemon meringue, peanut butter, rocky road and strawberry cheesecake. The program itself is affordable as well, costing you only $10 per day.
Diets come and go, just as your weight does. If you are looking for something that will bring consistency to your daily diet, OurSkinny is the program for you. It doesn't matter if you want to lose 10 or 100 pounds, OurSkinny can help you lose those unwanted pounds and they will also make sure that you keep them off.

More than just the quintessential border town, EDİRNE – 230km northwest of İstanbul – is one of the best-preserved Ottoman cities, and makes an impressive, easily digestible introduction to Turkey. A lively, attractive place of almost 140,000 people, it occupies a rise overlooking the mingling of the Tunca, Arda and Meriç rivers, very near the Greek and Bulgarian frontiers. Its life derives from day-tripping foreign shoppers, discerning tourists and students from the University of Thrace.
Downtown, teeming bazaars and elegant domestic architecture vie for attention with a clutch of striking Ottoman monuments. The best of these, crowning the town's central hillock and sufficient reason alone for a visit, is the Selimiye Camii, masterpiece of the imperial architect Mimar Sinan.
To explore all Edirne's main sights on foot, you'll need a full day. Many of its Ottoman monuments lie north and west of town, deliberately rusticated by the early sultans to provide a nucleus for future suburbs. Because of depopulation since the 1700s, urban growth never caught up with some of them, which have a rather forlorn atmosphere. Still, if the weather's fine, walking there is a pleasure, especially since you'll follow the willow-shaded banks of the Tunca River for some distance.
Brief history
The strategic point now occupied by Edirne has always held a settlement of some kind, destined to be repeatedly captured – and sometimes sacked for good measure – over the centuries. Thracian Uscudama became Hellenistic Oresteia, but the city really entered history as Hadrianopolis, designated the capital of Roman Thrace by Emperor Hadrian. Under the Byzantines it retained its significance, not least as a forward base en route to the Balkans – or, more ominously from the Byzantine point of view, first stop on the way to attempts on the imperial capital itself. Unsuccessful besiegers of Constantinople habitually vented their frustration on Hadrianopolis as they retreated, and a handful of emperors met their end here in pitched battles with Thracian "barbarians" of one sort or another.
In 1361, after Hadrianopolis surrendered to the besieging Murat I, the provisional Ottoman capital was effectively transferred here from Bursa. A century later, Mehmet the Conqueror trained his troops and tested his artillery here in preparation for the march on Constantinople; indeed, the Ottoman court was not completely moved to the Bosphorus until 1458. Because of its excellent opportunities for hunting and falconry, Edirne, as the Turks renamed it, remained a favourite haunt of sultans for three more centuries, earning the title Der-I Saadet or "Gate of Contentment" – during which it saw enough victory celebrations, circumcision ceremonies and marriages to rival Constantinople.
Decline set in after a 1751 earthquake, while Tsarist troops occupied and pillaged the city during each of the Russo-Turkish wars of 1829 and 1878–79. Worse followed, when the Bulgarians (with Serbian aid) besieged Odrin – as they called, and still call, the city – for 143 days from November 3, 1912 before taking it, thus ending the First Balkan War. The Greeks, as one of the victorious World War I Allies, annexed "Adrianópoli" along with the rest of Turkish Thrace from 1920 to 1922, and Turkish sovereignty over the city was only confirmed by the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne. Bulgarian, Latin Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches remain, along with elegant houses and a ruined synagogue in the former Jewish quarter, as evidence of the pre-1912, multicultural city, of which half the population was Turkish, and the remainder Greek, Bulgarian, Armenian and Jewish.

Thank you for your emails. Just loved my first order. The cute little Aussie bush critters are going to be used for an office Christmas decoration. My colleagues also liked them and talked about making an order to your site. I'll send you a photo when completed.
I'll be ordering more to send to my daughter's host family in America.
Fabulous service from you.
Kind regards,
Thankyou. Order arrived today. One very happy grandson with his new beastly binoculars.
Fluffy and quite lifelike, this plush penguin has a sound chip that emulates the sound of the lovable Little Penguin - the smallest of all penguins.

Two Racing Schools That Make Up An Entire Week Of High Speed Fun!
The Bertil Roos Road Racing Week is comprised of 2 different road racing schools: The Bertil Roos 3 Day Road Racing School, and the Bertil Roos 2 Day Advanced School. When Registering, you have the option of signing up for either one or both of these training-intense schools.
Bertil Roos 3 Day Road Racing School
This is a school that is intended for motorsports enthusiasts to take their first step in their motorsports hobby or racing career. Students will learn all the necessary fundamentals to driving a racecar on track at a high performance level. Students will be learning and practicing a broad range of knowledge and skills. Below are just a few of the quality reasons that so many students have attended our program and became successful in the world of motorsports.
- Plenty of classroom instruction ensures that students are able to learn the fundamentals of road racing in a stress free environment.
- Students will be assigned to their instructors to form a friendship that allows for more focused and more relaxed training.
- The utilization of street cars on the racetrack means that students will get hands-on training with immediate feedback.
- The Bertil Roos Racing School's patented "slidecars" give the best car control and hand-eye technique training in the world!
- Controlled passing allows for students to learn and progress at their own pace, not someone else's.
The Bertil Roos 3 Day Road Racing School is a prerequisite for the Bertil Roos 2 Day Advanced Racing School. Students whom complete this program will also have gained all the necessary knowledge and skills to drive a car on track at a performance level. Students whom complete this program will also be eligible to apply for a vintage racing license and other performance driving organizations.
Bertil Roos 2 Day Advanced Racing School
*This program requires the completion of the Bertil Roos 3 Day Road Racing School, or other organization equivalent.
This school is all about passing and competing. Students whom attend this event will experience what it's like to be on track going wheel to wheel with other competitors' cars. The Bertil Roos Racing School implements this exposure via a gradual and safe process.
The first day of this program is entirely about getting students accustomed to driving with other cars on track. Starting off with practicing passing lines and ending with counter-attacks and taking advantage of opportune track situations.
The second day of this program will simulate a condensed competition weekend. Instructors will guide their students through tactically conducting race event practice, qualifying, and races.
By completing the Bertil Roos 2 Day Advanced School, students will be eligible to apply for various competition race licenses. For more information about applying for a race license, feel free to contact our office.
The Best Cars And Equipment For The Job!
The Bertil Roos Racing School heavily utilizes our patented Slidecars for the best car control and eye-technique training in the world. Our Slidecars simulate a lack-or-traction situation. No other piece of equipment in the world does this job like our slidcars.
The Bertil Roos Racing School utilizes in-house built formula cars that were designed by the school founder himself, Bertil Roos. Our cars are competition style Formula 2000 cars that have been redesigned for optimal safety and teaching purposes. Our cars run with a Ford 2.0L, 4 Valve engine that pushes 150bhp. With a weight of only 1200lbs, with the driver, our cars are capable of reaching 130mph in a draft and can stop on a dime! Front and rear wings on our cars allow cornering speeds capable of pulling up to 2Gs! Above performance, our cars have also been redesigned for safety. The entire chassis and roll bar are welded together with rigid steel that makes the car very durable and tank-like. A modern 5 point harness is installed in our cars to keep drivers safely secured as well. Each of our cars have different cockpit sizes, and the seat and pedals are fully adjustable, which allow for virtually any size driver!
Rain? Of Course We Race In The Rain!
The Bertil Roos Racing School will continue with the scheduled program rain or shine. Drivers whom experience a day in the rain will learn that driving in wet conditions is an art all on its own, and is more fun than it sounds. Driving in wet conditions is an opportunity to gain a good amount of car control experience and and really learning to feel what the car is doing. The only weather that will cause an event cancelation is stormy or extreme weather conditions. Please refer to our website (racenow.com) or call our office to learn about our weather-related cancelation policy.
Are You Ready To Step Into The World Of Road Racing?

Top IT pros have plenty to be thankful for these days: rising budgets, salaries and job tenures among them. But when it comes to IT management and spending priorities, these IT leaders often don't see eye to eye with their organizations.
These are among the findings from the 2013 SIM IT Trends Study, which is based on surveys of 650 CIOs and other senior IT leaders at nearly 500 organizations with median annual revenue of half-a-billion dollars. Survey results were revealed Monday in Boston at the Society for Information Management annual conference by Leon Kappelman, with whom I spoke on Friday, and other members of the research team. Kappelman is lead researcher, professor of information systems and director emeritus of the Information Systems Research Center for the College of Business at the University of North Texas.
Despite the tough economy in recent years, "IT appears fairly resilient and generally seen as part of the solution' during these still challenging times," the survey team concludes.
To that point, peruse these findings:
- The average IT employee salary rose from 2012 to 2013, according to 89% of respondents and is projected to increase in 2014 from 2013, according to 90% of respondents.
- The number of internal full-time IT employees rose or remained flat from 2012 to 2013, according to 72% of respondents, and 82% said the number of such employees will increase or say the same from 2013 to 2014. Increasingly, those employees are being deployed in hybrid IT organizations that are less and less centralized and rely more on a federated approach in which IT people are sprinkled in among end users an approach that can improve customer service and snuff out troublesome rogue IT efforts, according to Kappelman.
- The percentage of revenue allocated to the IT budget fell between 3.5% and 3.87% from 2005 to 2011, but jumped to 4.94% in 2012 and nudged up to 4.95% this year.
- IT budgets stayed the same or rose from 2012 to 2013, according to 73% of respondents, and you can expect increases or no change from 2013 to 2014, said 77% of survey takers.
However, there are some concerning trends, too, for IT leaders.
For example, while security accounts for the 14th largest IT investment at organizations, security is the No. 2 biggest worry for IT leaders. Other examples of priorities not quite matching up: Disaster recovery is the 11th largest IT investment area but the third biggest concern for IT leaders, and BYOD is No. 21 on the investment list, but No.5 on the concerns list.
Kappelman called these findings "eye opening," and deepened his appreciation for the complexity of IT leadership.
"They want to optimize IT but also want to help optimize the business, and sometimes those things are in conflict," he says. While the results initially troubled Kappelman, upon speaking to IT people and further reflecting, he believes it is natural for the IT leader's viewpoint to differ from that of the organization in that "IT is an indirect contributor to most corporate objectives in other words, we don't directly increase revenue or market share, though we do all these things indirectly by doing great IT."
It's not as if IT leaders and their organizations are completely at odds. Analytics/business intelligence is the top IT investment and also the top investment of concern among IT leaders. Alignment of IT and business is the No.1 management concern among organizations and IT leaders alike.
IT leaders and organization both seem to be on board as well with cloud computing, which four out of five organizations surveyed said they use, and more than a quarter of IT services delivered are cloud based. Kappelman said cloud adoption is just "good economics" and allows organizations to focus most on what they value doing.
One other interesting note, being that we're Network World: Network/telecommunications rose from being the 12th biggest IT investment area in 2012 to No.8 this year. Why? Kappelman isn't quite sure, but suspects it could have something to do with technologies needed to consolidate data centers.
He also pointed to findings from the survey that showed an increase in spending on "things" vs. people, and attributed this to a "catch-up" cycle during the tougher economy when big spending on technology was put off.
Bob Brown tracks network research in his Alpha Doggs blog and Facebook page, as well on Twitter and Google +.A

Pizza's Origins Traced to Korea
"I hate Marco Polo. He stole one of our national treasures. He stole pizza from Korea."
Italy stole pizza from Korea! ...at least according to this brilliant satire funded by the Korean pizza outlet Mr. Pizza. In terms of clever ads, It definitely blows Domino's attempt out of the water. The artifacts (especially the scrolls and pizza cutter) make for some very convincing touches.
Robyn Lee, who spotted this via @ZenKimchi has been to Mr. Pizza and reported back about her experience to Slice. In case your curious about their pies, you can check out her two cents here.
This definitely has to go on our next YouTube pizza playlist.

Five Suburban Chicago Fried Chicken Faves
Is there anyone out there who doesn't love ridiculously crisp fried chicken? My fascination began as a girl, when we docked our boat in a marina near Starved Rock—a.k.a. the fried chicken corridor, where career servers dished up battered birds in supper club environs. And they still do, throughout LaSalle and Bureau Counties. Sure there's plenty of good grub to be had, from Smitty's Place to Lanuti's and Annie's Hide-a-Way.
Fortunately, there are also a handful of fine poultry purveyors just outside city limits.
Check out five of my favorite fried chicken finds in Suburban Chicago by clicking on the slideshow.

How to Make the Hijab Hip
Headscarves have been in style for decades: think Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Jackie Kennedy.
More recently, designer Karen Walker showcased 1940s Rosie the Riveter-inspired headscarves in her spring 2012 show, and Vivienne Westwood and Lie Sang Bong both favored the 1960s triangular headscarves in their 2012 collections.
But headscarves are more than a fashion accessory for millions of women around the world. Muslim women who wear the headscarf known as a hijab do so for religious reasons. Now, the creator of the American Hijab Design Contest is trying to extend the hijab beyond the Muslim population, and help build a following for a fashion trend she calls "covered chic."

The recipe that first caught my eye is for Aloha Chicken Kebabs. I veganized the recipe easily with chicken flavored seitan. The recipe alone lacked that "aloha" flavor I was looking for so I created a sweet pineapple-sweet potato sauce out of the left over puree's I had. The combination is perfect. I also left out the kebab part of this recipe, it really wasn't necessary but if you happen to have some wooden skewers hanging around feel free to add them. Try it out and let me know what you think.
Veganized Aloha "Chicken" Kebabs
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1/2 cup sweet potato puree
1/4 cup pineapple puree
1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce or liquid aminos
1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1 egg equivalent egg replacer ( i used Ener-g)
1 pound chicken flavored seitan (I used the recipe from La Dolce Vegan), cut into strips
1/4 cup canola/olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (Fahrenheit)
In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the flaxseed meal. Set aside
In a second wide, shallow bowl, combine the sweet potato and pineapple purees, soy sauce, egg replacer and coconut. Stir to combine and set next to the breadcrumbs.
Dip the seitan into the puree mixture and then roll it in the bread crumbs until completely coated.
Coat a large nonstick skillet with oil.
Add the seitain in a single layer and brown for 3-4 minutes on each side. The breadcrumbs brown quickly so check often.
Remove seitan from the oil and place on a cookie sheet in a single layer. Bake for an additional 20-30 minutes depending on desired texture.
Alicia's Pineapple-Sweet Potato Sauce
1/2 cup pineapple puree
1/2 cup sweet potato puree
1 tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup plain soy milk
In a blender or food processor add all ingredients except soy milk until completely combined.
Add soy milk 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is achieved.
Either dip the aloha "chicken" into the sauce or drizzle a little sauce over each piece of "chicken"
