Product Information Menu
The skin, as the outermost barrier of the body, is exposed to various sources of oxidative stress which can negatively affect its appearance, in particular UV-irradiation and environmental toxins such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, etc.1 Cross-linked (glycated) proteins are classic characteristics of apparent skin aging. Cross-linked proteins in the skin result in an unsightly leathery appearance.2
This Anti-Glycation Serum is essential for building a good foundation for healthy skin. It supports firmness and elasticity while slowing the visible signs of aging skin. The anti-glycating combination of blueberry and pomegranate extracts helps rejuvenate aged and photo-damaged skin. This formulation will also soften roughness, hydration, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This unique serum also has the antioxidant benefits of vitamin C and concentrated tea blend extracts.
Purified Water, Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerine, Blueberry Extract (Vaccinium Angustifolium), Pomegranate Extract (Punica Granatum), Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate), Concentrated Tea Blend Extract, Phenolyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.

Comments about Cosmesis Anti-Glycation Serum with Blueberry & Pomegranate Extracts, 1 oz:
I have purchased this a few times during the sale. I really like it. Great feel, silky serum. I use it after I cleanse and before I moisturize. Foundation is not adversely impacted and sometime products make foundation gummy. I use it morning and/or at night.I gave it 4 star only because I use so many products, it's hard to know what is actually helping. But, it definitely enhances my skin care regimen. :)Try it!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

In one of the tightest budgets the City of Greater Geraldton has had to bring in, Council has endorsed a rate increase of 4.3% on residential rates, a reduction of 0.9%, and an increase of only 3.6% on non-residential rates, equating to a reduction of 1.6% on the advertised proposed rate.
The increase in rates for an average residential property will be $1.27 per week.
The City worked with two Community Panels that reviewed the Council's Capital Works Program and range and level of services. Their recommendations were accepted by Council and incorporated into the 2014-15 Budget.
Big ticket items that feature in the budget and are close to the hearts of many ratepayers include around $4.7 million addressing coastal erosion and beach protection; funding of $100,000 to investigate domestic recycling and $900,000 to undertake green waste processing, concrete crushing and the design of an integrated resource recovery centre.
And of course, one of the major infrastructure requirements – roads, footpaths and drains will get an injection of more than $5 million for upgrades.

A Vision of a Peaceful World Wins Wander Films IFC's Media Lab Award for Short Films, Airs Sunday Sept. 24
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 24, 2006
Most design teams only dream about the recognition and confirmation of their creativity and talent being seen by others. Wander Graphicsâ and Wander Filmsâ creative team of Joshua Clark and Aaron Weber can watch their award-winning film along with hundreds of thousands of viewers at 10:45 pm EST, Sunday, September 24, 2006 on the IFC, Independent Film Channel, when their short, Wander, airs to a national audience.

Technology has advanced so much in the past few years that mobile phones have really become a one stop shop for most people. It is pretty common knowledge that just about anything and everything can be done on a mobile phone, including recording short films.
If you're stuck with a phone that does all the irregular things, like make phone calls and send text messages, creating short films can be a great way to pass the time by while on holidays, on a road trip or even during your lunch break.
The Best Mobile Phone for Short Films
The iPhone 4 is a premier mobile phone that has the capability of recording short films on the phone. Not only can you create the short film but you can also use software that edits your film. Let's be honest. You will not be able to make a full featured film or even a film of great quality but you can certainly let your creative juices flow.
Plus, knowing that you can create and edit short films on a mobile phone now, the future leaves the door open for even more advances. In a few years, you may be able to make styled commercials just using your mobile phone alone.
The First Short Film Recorded on a Mobile Phone
The first movie ever to be recorded and edited using only the iPhone 4 is called Apple of My Eye which was filmed by Micharl Korbel. This will never turn into an Oscar winning film but this short film is remarkable for other attributes.
Basically, a granddaughter and her grandfather are walking along the street eating ice cream, when they stop in front of a store window and watch a toy train pass by. The grandfather stands still, mesmerised by a toy train.
The viewer watches all of the places that the train travels to from the point of view of the grandfather. As the granddaughter tries to wake her grandfather from his daze he comes to tell her that he has an old story to tell her as they continue on their journey.
There is a certain level of creativity and thought behind the film that is portrayed well, even though it's on a mobile phone. There is very little dialogue, but the music and imagery do spark a little emotion from the viewer.
Is the film a little cheesy? Of course. But what do you expect from recording a short film on a mobile phone. It is amazing that this type of quality and picture can be captured by just and that the entire short film can be edited on the thing you hold in your hand (the phone, for those playing at home).
So, now that you can see the levels of creativity that can be reached when it comes to filming a movie on your mobile phone, why don't you try it out yourself?
This is the video 9 which will be made into a feature film by Tim Burton and Shane Acker. This video is fairly interesting and I found the version without the wierd sounds at the beginning.

A few nice new release movie images I found:
Sid Haig Portrait
The veteran character actor and recent star of both House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. Sid is soon to make a cameo in Rob Zombie's Halloween remake.
This set appeared in Darkside, the UK's premiere horror magazine. Here's the article:
The veteran character actor and recent star of both House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. Sid is soon to make a cameo in Rob Zombie's Halloween remake.
Here is the article that appeared in Darkside Magazine, a few weeks before the release of the The Devil's Rejects.
Sid Haig has a face your nightmares won't let you forget. With sunken eyes, heavy brow, swollen features and grizzly black beard, this hulking menace of an actor oozes gravitas with every carefully considered sentence that growls through his leathery lips. Today as the Californian sun beats hard upon his signature bald skull, he stands a looming 6'4" tall and cloaked entirely in black, commands presence that is undeniable.
Our interview is held in a plastic-cupped seaside café, halfway along the famous Santa Monica Pier, one of Hollywood's favourite film locations and the point where western civilization ends. For over forty years, Sid's vicious visage has found him cast in over fifty feature films and three hundred television appearances, mostly as the "heavy with a gun". Odd really, for his onscreen roles belie a warm, charismatic and down-to-earth personality in the flesh.
Sid Haig's first acting role on celluloid was in a UCLA student short called The Host, directed by Jack Hill – a crossing of paths that spawned a career-long collaboration and association with gritty genre pictures. Hill cast Sid as a demented murderer in his first feature Spider Baby (1968), the cult horror classic that featured a singing Lon Chaney, Jnr. and he quickly became an exploitation regular in films such as The Big Dollhouse (1971), Coffy (1973), and Foxy Brown (1974). Cast as one of the Slumber Brothers in Diamonds Are Forever (1971), he even managed the lucky task of tossing a Bond girl from a Las Vegas hotel room and of course his shaven-headed appearance was a definite advantage when he auditioned for THX1138 (1971).
Due to dissatisfaction with his continual casting as heavies, Sid abandoned acting in 1992 to become a hypnotherapist. Yet he later joined the likes of John Travolta, David Carradine and Robert Forster with a career revival at the hands of Quentin Tarantino, playing the Judge in Jackie Brown (1997), the director's ode to blaxploitation.
His next role was the most significant of his rejuvenated profession, playing the crazy killer clown Captain Spaulding in rocker Rob Zombie's directorial debut House Of 1000 Corpses. Sid was actually cast because of the filmmaker's love of the Saturday morning kids sci-fi series Jason Of Star Command (1979-81) in which he starred as the villainous cyborg Dragos. Fully bearded under thick white greasepaint like Caesar Romero in the sixties Batman, his creepy persona and penchant for murder in House Of 1000 Corpses created a character that many are calling the new horror icon of the 2000's. Particularly surprising when one considers the panning that the film received at the hands of the critics when originally released. Fans knew better of course, and now Sid Haig is in a jovial mood, for the upcoming sequel looks set to succeed its predecessor in every single department.
"We had a screening of The Devil's Rejects in Chatsworth in the San Fernando Valley with an audience of about five hundred people," recalls Sid, full of beaming praise for his upcoming feature. "The final scene was taking place in broad daylight and the screen illuminated the faces of the audience. Rob made his way down front so he could get what their reaction would be. It was amazing because many of the women were crying and most of the guys were sitting there with their mouths open. They did a survey and 18 out of the 20 rated the film as excellent and the other two rated it very good. Now House was released at 600 theaters. The last word I got was that the new movie will be released in 2500 theaters nationwide! Lions Gate say it's the largest release in the history of the company."
The Devil's Rejects continues the folklore surrounding the Dr. Satan cult murders created in House Of 1000 Corpses by following the Firefly family on another bloody rampage. Pursued by the brother of the late lamented Sheriff Wydell (played by William Forster) who is hell-bent on bloody revenge, the murderous clan is forced to hit the road. Captain Spaulding takes them to 'Charlie's Frontier Funland' a safe house that happens to be his brother's brothel, a house of ill repute where a final gory showdown takes place.
"Sheriff Wydell may even be a little more crazy than the Firefly family!" chuckles Sid like his demented clown character. "We find out fairly early in the film that Captain Spaulding's connection to the Firefly's is that he's Baby's father, which is an interesting little twist, having been adopted himself by a young black family. Ken Foree plays my brother and everyone is asking, 'How is Ken Foree going to be playing your brother?' He and I both are saying, 'We're brothers from another mother!'"
The sequel continues the recent trend in filmmaking to trawl through the back catalogue of seventies horror movies for inspiration. The cast not only includes Dawn Of The Dead's Ken Foree but also Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2's Bill Moseley (reprising his role of Otis with a more rugged, realistic look), Halloween's P.J. Soles and The Hills Have Eyes' Michael Berryman. Rob Zombie shoots in a bleached-out, grainy Super 16 film stock and creates a universe where Leatherface could easily be lurking behind a battered pick-up truck or rusted out refrigerator. But what's with the recent fascination with everything just post of Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Sid pauses and rubs his bearded chin before answering.
"It was a period that horror films were really good and after that everything was kind of predictable, not really very scary at all. There's not really a whole lot of creativity in Hollywood at this point. I am so pissed that somebody had the brilliant idea to remake House of Wax (1953). That was one of my favorite films as a kid. I was in the theatre the night that it opened and it was one of the first 3D films I saw. I can't even think about going to see Paris Hilton prancing around – it drives me nuts!"
This time, Sid promises that Rob Zombie has matured as a filmmaker. House's scenes inside the creepy haunted house ride, Lucio Fulciesque catacombs and the Firefly's Texas Chainsaw shack give way to a desert road trip scenario with classic Western themes and motifs. The MTV editing has been replaced by a thoughtful, Sergio Leone-influenced style and a move towards realism.
"Horror films seem to have to take place at night. Watching horrible things happen in broad daylight is much scarier," theorises the actor. "House Of 1000 Corpses was a little campy and cartoony at times. There's still a little humor, but just not as much. Rejects happens in the sunshine and there's some really nasty stuff. It's a very violent film, perhaps even more violent than House. It has a kind of Sam Peckinpah feel to it, very much like The Wild Bunch (1969)."
The bloodbath finale to The Devil's Rejects is already causing frenetic fan speculation across hyperspace. The original film of course suffered very badly at the censor's scissors in most territories and it seems Rob Zombie had to present the sequel an incredible eight times to the MPAA before it received the magical 'R' rating.
"Everything is much more real," explains Sid. "It's not so much a question of cutting the violence out. Rob couldn't get it because they'd say, 'We can't pass that scene.' He'd reply, 'I don't understand. Nobody gets molested in any way. There's no blood, there's no gore, there's not even any cursing. So what's the problem?' 'Well it's too real,' was the answer. Isn't that what film is supposed to be? So it was an educational process for the MPAA."
Perhaps members of the board were simply victims of caulrophobia, the dreaded fear of clowns. Could the sight of Sid Haig in Captain Spaulding make-up have been too much for their delicate sensibilities? The man behind the greasepaint doesn't really understand the whole fascination with those evil, twisted monsters with venomous red noses and squirting flowers. Not to mention those enormous feet, fit for stomping small babies:
"I had really never heard that much about clown phobias until I did this film and people are just totally freaked out. I just think it's the visual thing of this totally weird clown with the beard, the frown and the black eyes. Then other people just love the fact that this wacky clown is so evil and just does terrible things. Actually, a young lady was getting married and wanted me to perform the service as Spaulding. I said, 'Well I can't do it. I'm not ordained.' So she got on the Internet with all my information and I'm now an ordained minister. I married them at the Chiller Theater convention in New Jersey in full makeup and insulting as hell. Everybody was drunk, laughing and carrying on."
With Captain Spaulding sparking the imagination of young audience, a new generation is discovering some of Sid's early work and most notably the wonderfully warped Spider Baby, another tale of a murderous family with a penchant for cannibalism. That low-budget movie enabled Sid to work with one of the masters of screen horror, the Wolfman himself, Lon Chaney, Jnr. during the twilight of his career. It was a last hoorah for a star who had truly fallen to the depths of bottle, a performance that would have been a fitting final bow instead of his ending up as an embarrassing bit part in Al Adamson's campy but crappy Dracula Vs Frankenstein (1971).
"That was an amazing experience," recalls the bearded genre icon. "Lon was so grateful to get that job, that somebody thought enough of him to offer him a part like that. He was really dedicated to what he was doing and dried out to do the film. I could see he was unhappy with where he had been and I could see how much joy he was taking in what we were doing. That was probably the best eleven days of his aging life and career."
The tiny budget of the production forced the crew to be creative with their limited resources. Sid recalls how Al Taylor the director of photography – whose work in Spider Baby is one of the greatest assets of the film – once had to contend with having no electrical power to light a murky interior shot:
"Al bounced light off of six reflectors; the yard to the front door, down the hall, through one room and into another room to get light on the actor's face. That's pretty amazing. Most guys would just throw up their hands and say, 'Oh we don't have any light. Let's go.'"
But during filming of Beware Of The Blob (1972), Larry Hagman's comedic sequel to the 1958 original, Sid faced the true horrors of working within a miniscule budget.
"I was playing a cop and I caught these two kids smoking dope. Suddenly the Blob came down and devoured me," he grimaces. "And there I stood in fifty-five gallons of dipee-dee-do, the most vile crap that anybody could put on their hair, let alone their entire body. So I turn and thankfully it's all over. But there's no shower! Oh my God! That was pretty sick."
With Sid creating such a memorable screen persona with only ten minutes of screen time in House Of 1000 Corpses, his starring role in The Devil's Rejects could unleash a new horror phenomenon. Could the misadventures of Captain Spaulding and his harem of homicidal hicks soon become a trilogy?
"Rob doesn't want to do a third one. The reasoning is that if the first one is a success, the second one is usually better, but the third one sucks and he doesn't want to go there. But I'm sure that some of us will get a call from Lions Gate saying 'if you're up for a third one, come and play…'"
Captain Spaulding is a rich, freakish multi-layered killer with some of the best caustic dialogue for a villainous champion of chaos since Freddy Kruger toyed with his hapless victims on Elm Street. This new bogeyman for the twenty-first century is a character that for once would actually create a welcomed franchise to a flagging Hollywood horror industry. It's a strongly crafted, warped and still a strangely realistic role that only veteran Sid Haig could play with such true grit. Send in the clowns indeed.

The annual Algarve International Film Festival is the oldest of its kind in Portugal. Through the years, it has greatly helped in the promotion and showcasing of short films both from local and international talents. Locally known as FICA or the âFestival Internacional de Cine do Algarveâ, this event has been conducted every year since its inception in 1972 in the small Portuguese town of Portimao.
The Algarve International Film Festival centers on its famous short film competition. This competition draws entries that feature either animated or live-action short films with a maximum duration of 30 minutes. These films have to be shot in 16 mm or 35 mm reels. Although the short film competition is the main draw of this festival, there are other important events that are featured here as well, including an awards show that is presided over by a jury. The awards show gives out prizes in various categories such as Best Film by a Portuguese Directory, Best Film about the Algarve and Best Film about Nature. The most popular category among these awards however, is the Best Film with a Message of Love and Peace among Men. All the films screened at this festival are presented in their original language along with subtitles in either Portuguese or English.
In addition to the short films and its award ceremony, the Algarve International Film Festival is also known for its regional presentations and screenings. The regional events and presentations are divided into various categories according to different factors, like the towns from which they originate.
Across the years, the towns of Lagos, Alvor, Portimao, Monchique, Mexilhoeira da Carregacao, Mexillhoeira Grande, Albufeira, Messines, Silves, Guja, Faro, Loule, Tavira and Olhao have all consistently participated in the Algarve International Film Festival. Visitors can also expect entries to come in from towns like Saboia, Ourique, Milfontes, the Alentejo area and various other regions.
The Short Films Section of the Algarve International Film Festival has traditionally been divided into five different components. Each of these sections features a different type of short film. The different sections are: the retrospective, Winners of the main prize over the years, FICA 30, National Shorts section, Homage to Annecy (which is home to the most important animation festivals in the world) and New Territories, which takes a look at the new trends that are emerging across the world and showcases various individual filmmakers.
There is a different program featured every year, which is divided into seven different categories. These sections vary every year according to the theme of the show. Tickets to the Algarve International Film Festival are available on the Internet.

Keystone K-48 Bel Air Movie Camera
Manufactured around 1960 by Keystone Mfg. Co. of Boston, Massachusetts. This is an 8mm (i.e. "regular 8") moving camera with a three lens turret. The only lens attached is a Keystone-Elgeet 1/2inch f/1.9. The camera used a Bel-Air Magazine to hold the 8mm film which had to be flipped a minute and a half (at 16 frames per sec) through shooting. Yes, that's right—consumer 8mm films were only 3 minutes long. And people use to complain about sitting through someone's movies. Must mean that watching a 60 minute MiniDV of the trip to Europe is a living hell… [grin]. The camera was a wind up and had an adjustable frame rate from 12 to 48 fps. A mechanical gage on the top of the camera showed the amount of film left on that side. And "stop action" (specifically one frame at a time) was a feature provided by lifting up on the shutter release lever instead of pressing down.

Brothers Aaron and Asher Gershenzon and friend James Morro grew up in the city, but always possessed a passion for the outdoors. They practiced wilderness kayaking for most of their lives before earning their American Canoe Association certifications on Lake Superior. Each of them brings dual passions for their home city and outdoor sports to the company's guided group and private kayak trips. Guided paddles change on every outing as guides blend downtown architectural commentary and little-known Al Capone stories with tie-ins to current events. Though each guide tells different stories, often interspersed with humor, all of them focus on environmentally friendliness. Paddling trips utilize a fleet of lime-green Confluence Watersports kayaks, and staffers often wear lime-green shirts—all of which render them easily identifiable from the riverwalk, but well camouflaged in supermarket produce sections.
One guide leads six participants and prepares them with a briefing on paddling techniques, rules of the river, and assurances of the stability of their wide-river kayaks. The guides' watchful eyes and constant advice have instilled confidence in even the most unsure participants, including basketball player Andre Iguodala, who slowly grew accustomed to his kayak by the end of his session. When not guiding trips, staffers provide their single and tandem kayaks to customers who want to explore the river on their own. They extend their easygoing atmosphere to their office—nestled across the river from the Centennial Fountain's Water Arc—where picnic tables stand by the storefront, and the owners' chocolate Labrador frolics inside around a hanging hammock.
The hustle and bustle of the city can't touch the calm waters of Lake Michigan. There, on gently rolling waves surrounded by fresh breezes, Kayak Chicago hosts tours and lessons, and lets paddlers take to the waters on their own with rentals. Captained by Dave Olson, a kayaker for more than 20 years and outdoor educator for more than 10, the company entrusts certified instructors and guides with shaping the strokes of kayaking newbies. Their tours take aquatic explorers out on the lake at night to ooh and ahh over summer fireworks or along the Chicago River to survey the city's renowned architecture and map out their next bank heist. The staff also plants patrons on standup paddleboards for introductory lessons or wave-top rounds of SUPYoga or SUPPilates.
Situated near Chicago Avenue at the Chicago River, Wateriders' experienced and knowledgeable guides have been leading relaxed kayak tours down Chicago?s picturesque waterways since 1997. Day and night tours explore the city's most exciting attributes, focusing on history, architecture, and eerie mob chronicles as guides provide paddling instruction and share true tales of Al Capone's mythical collection of tracksuits. Wateriders also rents its kayaks to independent paddlers who prefer to discover Chicago's sights on their own.
• For $25, you get a Skyscraper Canyon Trip for one person in a single kayak (a $50 value). • For $35, you get a Skyscraper Canyon Trip for two people in a tandem kayak (a $70 value).
Yamaha jet skis speed across Lake Michigan like waterproofed motorcycles. They're departing from the 31st Street Harbor home base of Chicago Water Sport Rentals. The jet skis certainly offer high-velocity thrills, but the most exhilarating moments may come when riders take their hands off the throttle and survey their surroundings. The entire Chicago skyline stretches before them, with unencumbered views of Soldier Field, Buckingham Fountain, Millennium Park, Adler Planetarium, and other landmarks.
But customers don't need motor-power to access these sights. Via Chicago Paddle Rentals they supply stand up paddleboards, flyboards, and kayaks, as well as The Hobie Kayak Spin series, group paddles, paddleboard yoga, and paddleboard fitness classes. The fleet encompasses standard kayaks and specialty models such as the Hobie Mirage Tandem Island, which boasts pedal-based propulsion and magnificent sails. For elevated adventures, the team fires up FlyBoards, which use a water-propulsion system to transform people into superheros who can fly up to 40 feet in the air and dive underwater faster than Aquaman during an awkward pause in conversation.
MunkyBoards' electronic skateboards carry riders on four-wheeled adventures throughout the city at speeds of up to 18 miles per hour. Available in two sizes with different power capabilities, boards can travel as far as 9 miles before they need to recharge—just like clown cars powered by other drivers' fear. Mushc like the boards themselves, designs draw inspiration from both futuristic imagery and contemporary transportation; decks on the shorter boards feature imagery inspired by the coveted hoverboard from Back to the Future Part II, and larger decks sport a map of the CTA's train system.

Dec 4 2012: First, thank you:) This new style of filmmaking really evolves my earlier style. I couldn't afford to go to film school and often made films but recutting together old movies. That style still informs my film today. We now do original animation for our films but we rarely shoot. Adding this new component of having people all over the world send us videos is very exciting for our film team. We recently wrote a "Cloud Filmmaking Manifesto" which talks about our process. We are making free customized versions of our 10 minute film "Brain Power" for non profits.

VIDEO: Suspect wanted in gunpoint robbery of Center City 7-Eleven
Police are looking for a gunman caught on camera Aug. 22 robbing a 7-Eleven at 917 Filbert St. in Center City.
Investigators said the man entered the store shortly before 11:30 p.m., pulled out a rusted semiautomatic handgun and said to the cashier, "You know what this is. Give me all the money."
The employee then opened the register and placed the drawer on the counter.
After taking an undetermined amount of cash from the register drawer, the man allegedly demanded Newport cigarettes.
Authorities said he fled north on 10th Street after the employee gave him five packs of smokes.
The suspect is described as a 5-foot-9, 175- to 185-pound black male of about 20 years of age with light facial hair.
He was last seen wearing a black baseball cap with writing on the front and a round shiny sticker on the brim, a black V-neck T-shirt and gray pants.
Anyone with information on the suspect or crime is asked to call 911, contact the Central Detectives Division at 215-686-3093 or 3094, or submit an anonymous tip by dialing 215-686-TIPS (8477), texting PPD TIP (773847), emailing email@example.com or by filling out this online form.

NEW YORK (AP) - A new poll finds City Council Speaker Christine Quinn leading her rivals in the Democratic primary race to become New York City's next mayor.
But the New York Times/Siena College poll released Thursday also notes that about a quarter of Democratic voters still remain undecided.
Quinn had the support of 25% of voters. Former city comptroller Bill Thompson had 16% and Public Advocate Bill de Blasio had 14%.
The poll says Anthony Weiner had the support of 10% of Democrats. Before the former congressman's latest sexting scandal broke, he was near the top of some polls.
The poll surveyed 505 registered Democrats reached by telephone earlier in August. The margin of error is plus or minus four percentage points.

TALLAHASSEE -- As the state prepares to interview witnesses in the case against a former aide to Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll, a judge has warned attorneys to watch what they say.
Circuit Court Judge Frank Sheffield declined Assistant State Attorney John Hutchins' attempt to seal the case file and prevent lawyers representing former aide Carletha Cole from making statements to the media.
But Sheffield did hold a private meeting in his chambers Tuesday where he admonished lawyers on both sides, according to Steve Andrews, an attorney representing Cole.
"He told us that we cannot talk about the evidence in the case," Andrews said.
Cole is accused of sharing an illegal recording of Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll with the Florida Times-Union newspaper. The case also involves a mysterious fire that Cole found burning in a trash can in her office, which she believed was arson.
Cole was later fired. In court documents, she said she fell out of favor with Carroll after encountering the lieutenant governor in a "compromising position" with travel aide Beatriz Ramos.
Hutchins filed a five-page motion asking for the gag order on Monday. During the update hearing on the state's case against Cole — she is charged with a felony — Sheffield addressed the last-minute request.
"We didn't have a hearing on the gag order, and I'm not going to enter a gag order, but I am expecting compliance with the rules of professional conduct in regard to extra-judicial statements," he said.
Both the defense and the state attorney's office have named the people they may interview as part of the case.
Among potential witnesses for the state: Brian Burgess, Gov. Rick Scott's director of communications; John Konkus, Carroll's chief of staff and the person who's voice is on the illegally taped conversation; Dawn Hanson, Scott's director of administration; and Matt Dixon, the Times-Union reporter who received the recording.

Eee-Box: Mini Desktop Doubles RAM in its Linux Version
Eee manufacturer Asus has expanded its sub-notebook series with a desktop version. The Eee Box with the Intel Atom processor is available in Linux and Windows XP.
The enclosure, at 8.5" x 7" x 1", is reminiscent of a thin client; Asus calls its mini desktop a "one-liter device."
The Eee Box B202, with an Intel Atom N270 CPU at 1.6 GHz, is available at around $300 for the Windows XP version with 1 GByte RAM and an 80-Gbyte hard drive. The Linux/Easy OS version, for about the same price, has twice the power at 2 Gbyte RAM and a 160-Gbyte drive.
The box weighs 6.6 lbs, comes in black or white, and can be placed on a small stand or tucked behind the monitor. An Intel 945GSE graphics chipset is inside. The device is specified to emit no more than 26 db and comes with 65-Watt power adapter.
Networking is over WLAN 802.11b/g/n and Gigabit Ethernet. Front ports include two USBs and a card reader for countless external formats. Rear ports include a digital video interface, analog and S/PIDF audio line-out, and another two USBs. Keyboard and mouse are optional.
The device is available since July in the US, the European market has to wait until October.
Not wholly true160GB Hard Drive Installed - yes. 2GB RAM Installed - No
Maybe you strictly-Linux users have to wait longer.
Not a rumourAvailable at various places on-line, e.g.:
asus eee boxDon't know where you got this info, but Aus shows no such product on their web site nor do any of the retailers shown on the Asus site have this product. Looks like just another rumor.
Where to get itWe can not recommend a store, but I'd try the ASUS-website and pick a store:
For UK:
If the stores offer only the Windows version, I'd get on their nerves and ask for the Linux version. That's one way to get Linux into their minds, so they'll realize that there are people out there who'd like to have choice.
Hiding the price of the OSHere we go again. ASUS could cut their inventory of parts, streamlining operations, by using the same configuration for XP as GNU/Linux but they went out of their way to help their buddy hide the price of the OS.
Where can you buy a linux version???I would seriously consider buying the device, but after all my searches, the less equipped xp version it the only one for sale. Gimme a link to someone who actually shows and sells (in the US) the linux version.

TUESDAY, Feb. 15 (HealthDay News) -- Alcohol appears to cause
more sleep problems in women than in men, a new study found.
It's long been known that alcohol can deepen sleep during the
early part of the night but disrupt sleep later in the night,
something called the "rebound effect." But there's been little
research into how alcohol's effects on sleep may differ in women
and men.
This study included 59 women and 34 men in their 20s who
consumed either alcohol until they were drunk or a non-alcoholic
beverage before they went to bed. Researchers then monitored the
participants' sleep.
Women who consumed alcohol had fewer hours of sleep, woke more
frequently and for more minutes during the night, and had more
disrupted sleep compared to men who drank alcohol.
The study appears online and in the May print issue of the
Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research.
"These (gender) differences may be related to differences in alcohol metabolism since women show a more rapid decline in BrAC (breath alcohol concentration) following alcohol consumption than men," lead author J. Todd Arnedt, an assistant professor of psychiatry and neurology at the University of Michigan, said in a journal news release.
"It is important to note that the peak BrACs were equivalent between men and women in our study so the findings are not due to higher BrACs among the female subjects. We also do not believe that the differences were due to differences in alcohol experience because the prior alcohol use was also equivalent between the men and women," he added.
Arnedt said these findings about gender differences "may have
implications for future studies examining the relationship between
sleep quality and risk for the development of alcohol use
disorders, as well as studies evaluating how sleep quality relates
to relapse among recovering alcoholic individuals."

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) It's supposed to be cooler today in southern Wisconsin, but it will still be well above normal for early September. In Milwaukee, yesterday's low of 78 was four-degrees warmer than the normal high for the date of 74. It got up to 95 in Milwaukee yesterday afternoon, 21-degrees above the norm.
Meanwhile parts of northwest Wisconsin never got out of the 70's, as a cold front moved into that region. The front moved slowly across southeast Wisconsin overnight, bringing some much-needed rain to many areas. Scattered showers are expected to continue this morning in far southern Wisconsin -- and there's a slight chance for rain this afternoon in the north.
Folks near Lake Superior should see another mild day in the 70's. Eighty-and-higher is predicted for the rest of the Badger State -- but no 90's are in the forecast for a change. Once the front passes, a major cooling trend is in the offing, with highs expected in the 60's-and-70's through the weekend.

What matters is that for everyone who was trying to ruin someone's day, there were 10 people who genuinely just liked being/fighting zombies.
Everyone experienced the same thing. It's just easier to respect the people who let it roll off their backs, laughed, and joined in, than it is to respect the people who got tchy and let it GET to them.
If person A puts off their annoyance, shrugs, and decides to be a sport, why should person B who was too uptight to do that get pat on the back?

Touchline Tales, Series 3 Episode 2 of 3
Old friends Des Lynam and Christopher Matthew venture out to different sporting venues - to enjoy, observe, reminisce and trade tales about some of the greatest pleasures in their lives. Today, they float like butterflies between those training at the All Stars Boxing Gym (on West London's Harrow Road) and they sting like bees with their affectionate verbal jabs, trying to outdo each other with their knockout boxing anecdotes.
As a commentator and friend of sporting stars, Des has, as ever, a fund of stories to tell, and insights to reveal. But Christopher gamely tries to match him stride by stride with his own experiences as a lifelong spectator at the highest levels of sport (and, like Des, an occasional participant at the lowest).

Cover of the Week 9 +
Being the oldest, my brothers obviously and unwisely looked to me for steady and sage leadership, saw me pick up the guitar, and somehow thought that would be a good idea as well. I'm not saying they would not have started on the guitar if I had never done so. But they saw me doing it and though, "well, Bill is not too good at it. I can do it as well, and do it way better."
We had all been playing guitar in various bands for years before we finally started lugging out the guitars for Christmas sing-alongs. It's not like we are introverted. I mean, none of us are anywhere near what you would describe that way. On the other hand, the ability to shame the others, especially in the presence of outsiders, is a finely honed talent that we have all developed to varying degrees. As a result, there is a slight – some would say "healthy" -- reluctance that counteracts the burning need to perform for and gain the approval of others. We actually see each other very, very…very often and don't automatically break out the guitars and doing tunes. For one thing, the kids wouldn't stand it for too long. Likewise the wives/girlfriends. The only person, in fact, who is at all encouraging, is our mother. Unless Oprah is on.
Nevertheless, the need to perform is an overwhelming one and Christmas is when all hell breaks loose. This year, however, my brother, Scott, announced he would not be participating. Scott grew a beard this year, so he is now known as Country Scott. I think he wants to give up the rowhouse in Somerville for his country estate or log cabin and get back to he land and release his version of Ram or All Things Must Pass. I'm not sure what my mother said to him, but Oprah was not on and in no time he ended up joining the rest of us betraying no sense of self-respect, belting out the songs with vim and vigor and, along with the rest of us, embarrassing the women and children.
But he is talented. Has a lovely boyish tenor behind that gruff, manly facial hair. It was actually for a Christmas show at the Lizard Lounge, when three of us – Paul, Scott, and I, as well as an opening set from Little Tommy – put together a couple of sets of Christmas songs and songs by famous brother acts (Allmans, Beach Boys, Kinks, Bee Gees, Jackson 5, etc.) that included some songs by the Everly Brothers. I think Scott and I sound nice harmonizing on Everly and Louvin Brothers' tunes. So here is one we did for that show a few years back, "Like Strangers" written by Boudleaux and Felice Bryant and performed by the Everly Brothers.
For all of this Cover of the Week project being about a stripped down set-up in the basement, I went a little Phil Spector-Walker Brothers-Sigur Ros-Ocean Rain-Nick Cave-Space Oddity-Joe Meek on this production. I suggest a pair of headphones and your favorite sedative. Some shit happens in this. Now I have overly built it up. It is really not that rich.
As a bonus, I threw in a cover of the Beatles' "I've Got a Feeling" from one of the June 2008 Toad shows, featuring Scott on lead vocals, though it is pretty much an ensemble singing thing, with Phil Aiken and I joining in. Also featured are Mike Gent on acoustic, Billy Beard on drums, and Matt Tahaney on bass. This was recorded by Dan Speca. I fixed up the EQ a bit. But it is pretty raw.
Click to play. Also, a correction on my past instructions, for Mac users, to download you must "option'click" the link, not "apple-click."

.: Hi Bill. Sorry for the late resoonse, it's been a busy week. What's great about the CotW series is the backstory you include on each tune. I'm still amazed at the amount of time and energy you are putting into this project, albeit very grateful for what you are giving us.
Your story reminded me of a similar relationship with my two brothers, who are also musicians. One is also a guitarist, who I taught early on in the 1970s briefly, and has been practicing a lot the past few years. He lives in Calgary, and is often asking me to listen to a tune, decipher the chords or the lead, and get back to him accordingly with the appropriate details. I've taken to using my Flip camcorder to recorder chord changes and simple leads and sending it to him so he can see what I'm doing. We are also big Beatles fans, so I appreciated the cover of I've Got A Feeling.
We don't see the third brother a lot, but a few Christmases back, the three of us did perform for the family, which was a big treat for all involved. Had my Dad up and dancing to Wake Up, Little Susie.
I received an interesting request from someone in the States in November, asking if I could transcribe the chords to the Gallagher and Lyle song, "Remember Then." He'd seen a reference to it on my blog, and asked if I would consider doing this for him, even though he played a C-tuned ukulele! So I dug out the album (Seeds), and fired up the Flip, and that was the first time I used it to record what my left hand was doing so someone else could see the chord changes.
I'd like to play more tunes with my brother, but it's hard when we're in different cities, so I envy that you and your bros are all in the same region and can do it more easily.
Speaking of brothers, Paul advised how to find copies of the Cold Water Flat CDs, and the first one arrived in the mail this week, so my Janovitz family music collection is growing. (Thank you, eBay.)
I'm sitting with the headset on, and am not on any sedatives, but the anti-depressants and high blood pressure meds are on overdrive, so
"Like Strangers" sounds great. Indeed, some shit does happen there.
Again, thanks for the CotWs. You do realize that an album is slowly growing here, right?
BTW, what does "Walking down the Battle Road, the Lincoln woman's family is not home" mean?
Finally, check this out: it may be the solution to all future recording issues and concerns:
Peace to you for taking the time to do this for us. What a gift.

Producers didn't bother waiting until after Drew Peterson's much-anticipated trial to turn the tale of his dead and missing wives into a made-for-TV movie.
But as Illinois continues its experiment with cameras in its criminal courtrooms, crime buffs shouldn't expect to watch the real thing from the comfort of their own living rooms. Will County's top judge said cameras likely won't be allowed into the former Bolingbrook police officer's trial, Sun-Times Media is reporting.
Chief Judge Gerald Kinney has said he's exploring the idea of letting cameras into Will County courtrooms. But he also said it'd be logistically difficult to clear the way for the cameras in time for a Peterson murder trial that attorneys said could begin as soon as this summer.
He also said he thinks Illinois' Supreme Court is aiming for smaller media markets as it lets cameras in.
"I think they want to see this program begin slowly," Kinney said.
Will County Judge Edward Burmila would also have a say in whether to let photographers into his courtroom, Kinney said. Burmila inherited the Peterson case Friday when it finally emerged from a long appeals process. The previous judge retired from the bench while the appeals were pending.
Peterson is expected back in Burmila's courtroom May 17, when lawyers could begin to sketch out a trial schedule. Peterson, 58, is charged with the drowning death of his third wife, 40-year-old Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in a dry bathtub in 2004.
His fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, vanished in 2007. Peterson is a suspect in her disappearance.
Both cases became the subject of a Lifetime original movie when the cable channel aired "Drew Peterson: Untouchable" in January with actor Rob Lowe as Peterson.
About the same time, the Illinois Supreme Court announced it would begin a pilot project allowing cameras in trial courts on an experimental basis. So far the court has announced it will allow cameras in 13 Illinois counties, including Kankakee.

Billionaire Paul Singer's Latest Stock Picks
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
We have been tracking 13F filings from hedge funds and other notable investors as they come in and reveal many of these market players' long equity positions as of the end of December. Despite the delay, we have found that 13Fs can actually be mined for valuable information. For example, the most popular small cap stocks among hedge funds have, on average, outperformed the S&P 500 by 18 percentage points per year (find out the details about imitating hedge funds). Investors can also interpret filings as a list of stock picks, similar to what one would get from interviewing a top investor. Of course, blindly imitating fund managers might not be wise, but the included names can still be considered as potential investments.
Paul Singer, now a billionaire, founded Elliott Management in 1977. It now has about $15 billion in assets under management. Elliott occasionally engages in activism against underperforming companies or those which it believes could be managed more effectively. Read on to see some moves the fund made in its portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2012 and research Singer's previous filings.
Compuware: Singer and his team increased their holdings of Compuware (NASDAQ: CPWR) from 5.7 million shares at the beginning of October to about 12 million shares at the end of the year. The hedge fund has also proposed a takeover of the $2.5 billion market cap company, which develops enterprise software. Compuware rejected the offer, but the stock currently trades at above Elliott's proposed price--and therefore at a high earnings multiple--due to the possibility of other buyers, including strategics, offering higher prices. Management has also taken the proposal as a signal to improve value creation; the company is planning both a spinout and dividend payments. Elliott also maintained its large stake in software company BMC Software.
Diversifying in data storage: Elliott sold almost half of its shares of Brocade Communications Systems (NASDAQ: BRCD) but bought shares of NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP); both companies focus on products related to storage area networking. The fund now owns about 15 million and 2 million shares of the respective companies (note that NetApp's stock price is about six times that of Brocade). Both companies have reported their results for the fiscal quarter ending in January, with modest revenue growth compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year in both cases (though Netapp did experience a strong improvement on the bottom line). The sell-side is more bullish on Brocade, which carries a forward P/E multiple of 8 and a five-year PEG ratio of less than 1 as opposed to Netapp's forward earnings multiple of 14.
National Bank Holdings. The fund initiated a position of 3.8 million shares in National Bank Holdings (NYSE: NBHC), a $960 million market cap holding company whose banks are based in Colorado and in the Kansas City area. National Bank Holdings went public in September 2012, and is down slightly from where it traded shortly after the IPO. Profits are low, despite significant revenue growth last quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Analyst consensus is for 39 cents per share of earnings this year, which implies a current-year P/E of 47, and then for much higher earnings in 2014. While National Bank Holdings is certainly not a good value in terms of earnings metrics, it does trade at a small discount to book value with a P/B ratio of 0.9.
This indicates that the management of National Bank Holdings is not doing well at monetizing the company's assets, and we think we would avoid the stock for now. We also think that Compuware's current price is too high for a value investor, at least until it has executed its moves. Brocade and NetApp seem priced more attractively, assuming they can stay in line with analyst expectations, and might be good stocks to watch over the next few months.

our 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on instruments and 30 days on accessories applies to this used product.
This instrument or product is in good working condition but has one or more cosmetic
flaws beyond those of a Condition 2 product. These flaws are typical of an instrument
or product that's seen normal wear and tear, including incidental scratches, chips,
dings, dents or other imperfections. It performs just as well as a Condition 1 or
Condition 2 instrument/product. Its packaging may not meet the standards set by
the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. Condition 3 is

Rapco Horizon TDIBLOX Consumer Audio InterfaceThe Horizon TDIBLOX Tape Deck Interface lets you connect unbalanced sources, such as laptops, MP3 players, CD players, and tape decks with stereo RCA outputs to a mic-level mono input on a PA mixer.The Horizon TDIBLOX has RCA plugs that connect directly to your laptop soundcard or other RCA-out equipped playback device and provides mono summing operation, which maintains the proper balance of your stereo mix while protecting your playback device from accidental exposure to phantom power and other possible dangers (see below). Housed in a compact and durable aluminum box, it has an XLR output and a rotary potentiometer that provides volume control. Why you need the TDIBLOX:If you're connecting an unbalanced stereo source to a mic-level input on a console, accidental exposure to phantom power can burn out the motherboard of a laptop or fry your playback device. Balancing the signal makes the playback unit "invisible" to phantom power.Another reason you need the TDIBLOX is for its ability to sum to mono. Simply using a Y-connector cable from stereo into one signal will not work. Summing a stereo signal to mono via a Y connector can cause the unbalanced stereo outputs of of your playback device to drive one another, which in a best-case scenario, will cause loss of signal strength, and in worst-case, will cause a short between the outputs and damage the unit. Also, due to improper summing, parts of your stereo mix will be lost.
