A new low-fee balance transfer credit card has been launched by Fluid, which has the added benefit of enabling you to clear your overdraft debt.
The newly launched credit card by online personal finance brand Fluid, powered by MBNA, allows you to move credit into your current account.
This is called a money transfer and it is especially handy for people wanting to clear their overdraft debt and avoid paying interest.
Fluid charges a 4 per cent fee for the money transfer, but customers are given 15 months at 0 per cent interest to pay back the balance, or transfer to another 0 per cent card.
Fluid credit card customers are also offered 0 per cent interest on purchases for five months from the date the account is opened.
The card's typical annual rate of interest (APR) is 15.9 per cent.
The Fluid credit card could be especially useful for recent university graduates.
With last year's students now one year on from graduation, many will be starting to pay interest on their student overdrafts.
This is because the interest-free period on many student and graduate accounts runs out after 12 months from leaving university.
Not all lenders allow the money transfer option so the Fluid credit card is potentially a good way for former students to save on overdraft fees, as long as they can pay back their debt within the 15-month period.
For people looking to move outstanding funds from another credit card, the Fluid credit card offers new customers 15 months at 0 per cent interest on balance transfers.
The credit card comes with a low handling fee of just 1.5 per cent and balance transfers must be made within the first 60 days of opening the account.
You cannot transfer balances from other MBNA accounts so this is not an option for existing MBNA customers.
Michael Donald, business development and commercial executive for MBNA, said: "We have developed this credit card, in partnership with the Fluid team, as a direct result of customer feedback.
"We know consumers are looking for interest-free credit but without the higher initial outlay required by some of the more headline-grabbing, longer-term deals available in the UK market."
The Fluid credit card has a useful feature that enables you to check if you are likely to be accepted before you fully complete your application.
If you're likely to be accepted, you can go on to apply.
And if not, you simply don't complete the application process and avoid the risk of getting rejected, which can harm your credit file as lenders can see credit applications you've made.
If you've made a few applications in a short space of time lenders are more likely to turn you down as can seem as if an applicant is desperate for credit and may be overstretched financially.
Nerys Lewis, head of credit cards at Confused.com, said: "This credit card is ideal for anyone who has overdraft debt and is suffering at the hands of high interest charges.
"What's more, the low balance transfer fee also makes it a good option for people who are looking to get in control of their credit card finances within the 0 per cent period.
"The key is to work out how long you will need to pay back any debt, and perhaps try to avoid the temptation to spend on a balance transfer credit card to avoid unnecessary interest charges.
"One final point to note, new customers could benefit from a 30 per cent discount on Fluid travel insurance — just in time for the summer holidays."

I bought one helmet a few days earlier and liked it so much I had to buy another one. They're comfortable and the air comes through to help keep your head cooler.
I picked up one of these today at my local store. I just started riding again and figured I should get a helmet. I tried a few others but this was my favorite. It didn't look too dorky, fit well, and was a good value. The Tru-Fit feature is nice, and makes getting the proper fit easy. I also liked the no pinch buckle. The visor is removable, but I'm going to keep it on. I mean my brain is certainly worth $17. I'd encourage anyone who rides to wear a helmet. You never know when you might need it, but you'll be glad you're wearing one when you do.
Because of the elastic strap inside the helmet, the fit is just right.
I hope I never have to test its performance.
I'm not sure what I got. It looks like a radar but the box it came in says Knack... Regardless, it was cheap and exactly what I needed. A bit small for my large head, so I probably should have gotten something bigger... All in all, a solid helmet for a cheap price.
I have to admit, I have never worn a bicycle helmet in my life but decided to air on the side of caution and get my first one. I am doing a good deal of mountain biking and a little road riding and it just plain makes sense to protect myself. This helmet is constructed well and looks good when wearing. It's comfortable and the True Fit system is a breeze to adjust just right. The visor is a nice touch as well. I think it is a great buy & a great investment for the $17 it costs! It just so happens that the colors also match up great to my new bike!
Didnt fit

Charging an Electric Golf Cart May Pose Unexpected Health Hazards
Although very rare, the Lakeland Fire Department has recently responded to calls involving a home's carbon monoxide (CO) detector being activated by hydrogen released from an electric golf cart's battery while being charged.
In one particular instance, the home was entirely electric with no potential source for carbon emissions from a fossil fuel burning source. Fortunately, the homeowners had a carbon monoxide detector. The CO detector activated and LFD crews were called in to investigate. The crews, using specialized monitors detected readings for carbon monoxide emissions although there was no source for carbon monoxide in the home. Through thorough investigation the source of an emission was traced back to the home's garage where an electric golf cart was being charged.
Electric golf carts use batteries that in good working condition should not produce any emissions, however in the event of a faulty or broken battery there is a potential for hydrogen to be emitted. The emitted hydrogen in turn creates the false positive reading on a carbon monoxide detector.
Excessive amounts of hydrogen can be harmful to humans and in the event of the incident referred to, the home's occupants described similar symptoms to carbon monoxide poisoning such as headache, nausea, and dizziness. After concluding the investigation for an emission source, LFD crews ventilated the home and everyone returned safely inside.
Similar accounts of faulty golf cart batteries creating a false positive reading of carbon monoxide have been reported by other fire departments in the nation, particularly in areas with high concentrations of golf cart enthusiasts who depend on golf carts as part of their recreational lifestyle.
Lakeland has several communities where many homeowners have electric golf carts. LFD does not want to unnecessarily alarm the public but as a precaution would like to strongly encourage every electric golf cart owner to:
Although carbon monoxide detectors are not designed for the detection of other gases they have proven helpful in incidents like these. They also provide peace of mind and safety in detecting carbon monoxide which is a more likely hazard and has led to accidental poisonings of home occupants.
Beyond the obvious danger of fire, explosion and asphyxiation, little data is available indicating the health effects of long-term exposure to the gases given off during the battery charging process. The quantity required to cause death is very substantial. NFPA 704 identifies the health effects of hydrogen as being a 0. In addition, OSHA's Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) and Recommended Exposure Level (REL) are not set due to the fact that hydrogen is considered to be relatively safe below the flammable and explosive levels.
Even though hydrogen is viewed as being non-toxic, occupants in homes responded to by department personnel have complained of headaches, nausea, dyspnea, and vertigo. It is anecdotally believed that this may be caused by hydrogen's displacement of oxygen in a fairly well-sealed home, and that the lower oxygen concentration may result in patients with the above symptoms.
For more information about carbon monoxide detectors visit http://www.nfpa.org/safety-information/for-consumers/fire-and-safety-equipment/carbon-monoxide
Highly Visible Address Markers Means Increased Safety
The Lakeland Fire Department would like to remind all residence and business owners to update and maintain their address markers so that in the event of an emergency, Firefighters and Emergency Medical Responders can find your location as quickly and efficiently as possible. An accurate and easily visible address is vital for rapidly locating a home or business in any emergency requiring fire, ambulance services, or law enforcement.
Address markers should be highly visible, near the roadway, and reflective.
"When the call for an emergency comes in, we want to get there as quickly as possible to begin helping. Thanks to prepared callers and smarter phone systems we often have the exact address of where we are needed, but not being able to find the address on the building once we arrive in the vicinity can delay our response." says Battalion Chief Jeff Wharton, who too often sees this problem. "Every second counts, so a building owner can help us tremendously by making sure their location is clearly marked with an easy to see address marker that is highly visible during the day or at night."
The Lakeland Fire Department would like to encourage everyone to check their address markers and ensure that they are:
Lakeland's Firefighters are very familiar with all of the streets and address patterns in the City's service area and can quickly arrive in the area where the call for help is. Homes will often have address markers on the structure itself but can sometimes be set back from the road. Clear address markers near the roadway will help responders find the location and allow Lakeland's Firefighters to focus on their response when every second counts.
The Lakeland Fire Department is saddened to share that Jesse T. Smith, who was a former Lakeland Fire Department Lieutenant, passed away on May 16, 2015.
Jesse was the oldest living retired fireman from the department. He was hired on September 1, 1953 and retired as a Lieutenant on July 2, 1984.
Visitation will be Tuesday, May 19, 2015, from 10 AM to 11 AM in the chapel at First Baptist Church at the Mall. Funeral services will follow at 11 AM at the church, with interment to follow at Oak Hill Burial Park.
Lt. Smith's Obituary:
Mr. Smith was born in Lakeland on February 19, 1930, and remained a lifelong resident of the area. He served in the U.S. Air Force before beginning his career at the Lakeland Fire Department. He retired from the Lakeland Fire Department as Lieutenant, and was the oldest living retired fireman from the department. He also owned and operated Jesse T. Smith Heating & Air for 48 years. Mr. Smith was a member of First Baptist Church at the Mall and the Masonic Lodge. His hobbies included hunting and fishing.
Mr. Smith is survived by his wife of 60 years, Mary Sue Smith; sons, M.D. (Saralinda) Smith and Keiland (Cindy) Smith; grandchildren, Daniel, Blake, Matthew, Jesse and Victoria Smith; great grandchildren, Braylon, Anniston, Emerson and Grace Smith.
Visitation will be Tuesday, May 19, 2015, from 10-11 am in the chapel at First Baptist Church at the Mall.

Firefighters Put on "Fashion Show" for Straight A Students
For the third year in a row the Lakeland Fire Department has recognized high achieving student as part of the Kiwanis of Lakeland's Quarterly "A" Terrific Kids Luncheon for Blake Academy's straight A students. To reward these high achieving students while teaching them a thing or two about the fire service, the department puts on a fire "fashion show". The department's Fire Chief Gary Ballard, a member of the Kiwanis for nearly five years, thought up the idea in 2012 and the event continues to be a big hit.
This year's presentation was provided by Assistant Chief Doug Riley with the help of Station 1's C Shift. They presented 5 different "looks" that fire fighters don in different emergency situations. Looks included: Bunker Gear, Paramedic Dress, High Angle Dress, SWAT Medic Dress, and ARFF Dress modeled by on duty firefighters.
Asst. Chief Riley explained the different gear and equipment the firefighters were wearing and the specialized uses the equipment provides. In addition to the firefighter's strutting their stuff, each table at the luncheon had a specialized tool at its center as a centerpiece. Firefighters sat at the tables with the students during the lunch to interact and share more information about the unique tools. The experience was rather eye-opening to many of the students and even adults in attendance who may not have realized how diverse the emergency situations firefighters respond to might be or may not have known about the many tools used by firefighters to help in different situations.

A Lakeland Boy's Story of Recuperation
On the evening of September 1, 2012 at approximately 6:30 pm the Lakeland Fire Department (LFD) was dispatched to a harrowing call for help, to reports of a child struck by a vehicle. 3 year old O'mantae Thomas was struck and left severely injured as a result of the impact.
Minutes after the first calls came in, Lakeland Fire Department's Rescue 32, Engine 31, and Battalion Chief 2 arrived on scene to find that O'mantae was not breathing and had suffered life threatening injuries. LFD has highly trained Firefighter/ Paramedics on all of its units and fortunately Station 3's apparatus and crew, which are ALS units, were on hand that day to help O'mantae.
Skilled Firefighter/ Paramedics immediately took control of the scene and provided advanced patient care as well as immediately identified that a trauma alert had to be declared and the young boy needed to be transported via helicopter to receive the timely and critical hospital care he needed. While LFD paramedics provided care to the boy and packaged him for transport, other crew members established landing zones and shifted gears to provide medical care to O'mantae's family, who succumbed to the emotion of the event and needed medical help too.
O'mantae was left in critical condition after the accident but after two weeks in the hospital he was conscious again and by late November 2012 he was discharged from the hospital altogether. However his path hasn't been easy, with extensive physical therapy necessary 3 times a week, even up to today, to reteach him essential skills he lost due to the injuries he sustained, like how to eat, walk, and speak. Yet he has triumphed!
The whole incident came full circle recently, when O'mantae and his family came to visit the crew at Fire Station 3 during B-Shift. They were the ones who helped save him that day. He has been successful in his physical therapy and seeing him today, it would be hard to know he had ever endured so much. Today, 6 year old O'mantae is a happy, healthy, and rambunctious little boy. Rightfully so, he has a strong relationship with and affinity for LFD's firefighters. He enjoys getting a chance to visit with the crew that made such a difference in his recovery.
Three years later O'mantae's story serves as an example of the power of emergency medical response and how superior emergency medical care like the services provided by the Lakeland Fire Department can truly make a difference in saving a life. It is just one of the many things that impact quality of life in Lakeland and make it a great place to live.
The crew that helped O'mantae was Firefighter/ Paramedic Mike Smith, Firefighter / Paramedic Jesse Synder, Lt. Jason Merrit, Lt. Harley Wilson, Battalion Chief James Niblack, Driver Engineer Curtis Giles, some of which are pictured with him in the photo when he came to visit with the crew in April 2015.

Firefighter/Paramedic Cody Ritenour Receives City of Lakeland Heroism Award
Firefighters inherently have the qualities you would expect in a hero. Helping others is what they do, and a lot of the skills and qualities they use on duty are used off duty as well. Cody was nominated for the City of Lakeland's Heroism Award based on an his actions off duty in helping at the scene of a violent car accident. He will be recognized at the City of Lakeland Commission meeting on April 6, 2015. The account is best summarized by the nomination narrative:
"On February 15th, 2015 at approximately 9 AM, an unfortunate head-on collision took place in Osceola County on State Road 60. Cody Ritenour, a Lakeland Fire Department (LFD) Firefighter and Paramedic was several vehicles behind the incident when it occurred, while traveling home after completing his shift.
Upon noticing there was commotion up ahead, Cody made his way to the accident scene and found that bystanders had pulled a four year old girl and a six year old boy from one of the involved vehicles; it was quickly filling with smoke from an engine compartment fire. The driver of the vehicle was entrapped and was unresponsive. The fire was spreading quickly and with no way to put it out, Cody decided to instead attempt to get the victim out. He was unable to open the front doors without extrication equipment due to the severity of the crash. He made access into the vehicle through the back seat where he tried to free the entangled victim, yet was unsuccessful. The flames overcame the firewall and entered into the interior of the vehicle where the heat and smoke forced Cody to retreat.
Unable to continue helping the driver, Cody applied his training and experience in the field and turned his attention to the young children involved. He noticed that the four year old girl was unresponsive but was breathing and had a pulse and that the six year old had suffered serious injuries but was alert. The driver of the other vehicle had minor injuries and was ambulatory. Cody sprang into action by calling 9-1-1, identified himself, and reported there was a vehicle fire and an unresponsive pediatric that will most likely need a helicopter (later, while working with the first arriving officer he confirmed that the helicopter was indeed requested).
Cody continued patient care after hanging up with the emergency operators by accessing the children's vitals and listening to lung sounds with his personal stethoscope until further support could arrive. Cody directed several bystanders to assist him with the children until fire and EMS crews arrived. Once they arrived, Cody again identified himself and gave them the details of the scene. Cody assisted EMS with patient care and packaging the children for transport. A landing zone was established by crews on scene and two helicopters landed on State Road 60 to fly the children to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children for Trauma Care in Orlando.
We cannot express enough how incredibly proud we are of Firefighter Ritenour. Not only did he risk his own life by attempting to save the driver of the accident from a burning vehicle, but he also put his training to work and took command of the scene. Cody triaged the victims and was able to assemble the necessary resources to give the remaining victims the care they needed and a fighting chance at survival.
Cody is a young man with less than two years of practical fire and medical training however he showed poise and composure beyond his years. At the time this recommendation was written it is unknown what the outcome of the children's injuries were or what the future holds for them but we are certain that they have a better chance of recovery due to the actions taken by Cody Ritenour on that day.
On behalf of the entire Lakeland Fire Department, we would like to formally recommend Cody Ritenour for his heroism and that he be recognized through the City of Lakeland's Heroism Award Committee for his actions that day, and for responding beyond his call of duty.
Lieutenant Joseph Delegge "
We are very proud of Cody for helping by using his skills and abilities during such an unfortunate incident to improve the outcomes.
The Lakeland Fire Department would like to recognize Battalion Chief Mike Williams as the department's first and only graduate (so far) of the Florida Fire Chief's Association (FFCA) Emergency Services Leadership Institute! Great Job!
The intensive program consist of six 2 -3 day leadership courses delivered by some of the most influential leaders in the Florida Fire Service. Bat. Chief Williams completed his last class and graduated on Tuesday, March 10, 2015 in Orlando, Florida.
The Emergency Services Leadership Institute (ESLI) program is sponsored and hosted by the Florida Fire and Emergency Services Foundation (FFESF) in the interest of addressing contemporary leadership issues that affect Mid-Level and Chief Fire Officers. The focus and content of the six-course Institute is consistent with upper level academic achievement and addresses issues that are either not prominent in other curricula or not structured in a manner that allows for an integrated learning experience over a two to three day period per course. While the institute is comprised of six courses, each individual course is designed to stand alone as a specific educational experience. The six courses will be offered on a two-year revolving basis. The Institute is designed to allow a participant to start and finish with any course and can be taken in any sequence. The 6 courses are Human Resources and Labor Relations; Personal Qualities, Leadership, and the Organization; Government Relations and Public Policy; Marketing Fire and Emergency Services; Finance and Budgeting and Emergency Management.
Congratulations to Battalion Chief Williams for a job well done and thanks for blazing the trail as both a learner and leader for other LFD Officers.
Incident @ 2050 E Edgewood Drive Lakeland, FL:
A Uhaul truck hit the corner of a 6 unit apartment building. The impact and location of where the truck hit put the rest of the building in jeopardy of further collapse, creating a high risk situation. LFD's Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) team was immediately called to the scene to help prevent further collapse or injury. 10 firefighters were on scene. Lakeland is fortunate to have USAR trained firefighters, avoiding delays in response or the need for outside fire departments to assist.
Six families have been displaced as a result and the building is deemed uninhabitable for the time being. The apartment building's insurance coverage is providing lodging for the displaced families. LPD secured area and Lakeland Electric was on scene to cut power to the building. The truck hit near the electrical meters of the structure.
As of 1:30 PM the building was secured and the rental truck was removed. Crews have since cleared the scene.
There were no injuries.

First Year Firefighter Transition Ceremonies
The Lakeland Fire Department (LFD) recently marked an important moment in the career of 7 of its newer members. Ceremonies were held for firefighters hired in January 2014 to mark a successful first year with the department and their transition from "Rookie" Firefighters to "Regular" Firefighters. These 7 firefighters successfully made it through LFD's rigorous hiring process, new hire orientation, and a yearlong probation period that includes multiple skills, physical abilities, and knowledge assessments. Firefighters Rinshed, Lobascio, Stephens, Forrester, Rice, Jackson, and Hubeck celebrated their transition from probationary to regular firefighters in the company of family, friends, and colleagues.
The ceremonies held January 26-28, 2015, marked the completion of the Personal Qualification Standards that the department uses to vet only the finest candidates. This probationary period is designed to ensure that new additions live up to the department's standards and are cut out for a difficult line of work in the fire service. LFD is experiencing rejuvenation in its workforce with these 7 young firefighters coming on board last year. These firefighters fill vacancies left by retirements and help meet staffing needs created by the department's new Fire Station 7, which became operational in early January 2015.
The Lakeland Fire Department is proud to have several black firefighters who help make the department a better place and have done so since 1976.
LFD's very own Battalion Chief James Niblack was recognized this past Sunday at church (Greater St. Paul) as part of their "Brother's Keeper" program for his contributions to his community and for inspiring fellow members of his church (pictured) to pursue promising careers in Public Safety as a way of giving back, as he has. Pictured from left to right are Polk County Firefighter Adam Williams, B/C James Niblack, and Winter Haven Police Officer Ladarius Cooper.

AS SSD Benchmark
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.2.3577.40358
Developer Homepage: Alex Intelligent Software
Product Homepage: Alex Intelligent Software
Download here: http://www.alex-is.de/PHP/fusion/downloads.php?cat_id=4&download_id=9
AS determines the performance of Solid State Drives (SSD). The tool contains four synthetic as well as three practice tests. The synthetic tests are to determine the sequential and random read and write performance of the SSD. These tests are carried out without the use of the operating system caches.
In all synthetic tests the test file size is 1GB. AS can also determine the access time of the SSD, the access of which the drive is determined to read through the entire capacity of the SSD (Full Stroke). The write access test is only to be met with a 1 GB big test file. At the end of the tests three values for the read and write as well as the overall performance will be issued. In addition to the calculated values which are shown in MB/s, they are also represented in IO per seconds (IOPS).
Note: AS SSD is a great benchmark for many tests, but since Crystal Disk Mark covers a broader range of 4K tests and HD Tune Pro covering sequential speeds, we will only use the Copy Benchmark from AS SSD.
- Copy Benchmark
The further I roll through these benchmarks the closer the Novachips Bugatti controller looks like a Marvell controller. What's important is that the Bugatti is a fresh design on early firmware and hardware and the Marvell controller on the Plextor M3 Pro is already almost two years old.
In the AS SSD Copy test we see solid performance in all three tests. The NX is already able to compete with the drives already on the market today.

Though he helmed many TV series for the majority of his career, director Paul Feig broke out in a big way in 2011 with the smash hit Bridesmaids. The film not only elevated Feig to an in-demand filmmaker (FOX just signed him to an extended contract to develop R-rated comedies for them), but it put Melissa McCarthy on the comedic actress movie map.
Fast forward to present day as Feig and McCarthy re-team for the action buddy comedy The Heat, which co-stars Sandra Bullock. A green band trailer arrived a couple months ago giving us a first look at some of the punchlines and mayhem to duo would unleash, but today, we have an uncensored international trailer which gives us a better idea as to the R-rated tone this movie will take.
Check it out below, but FYI, the trailer does contain some strong language and as the MPAA likes to say, thematic elements.
The Heat arrives in theaters April 5, 2013.
Written and starring Brit Marling (aka Richard Gere's daughter in Arbitrage), The East premiered last week at the Sundance Film Festival. The film has received some solid reviews as it looks to secure a release date for sometime later this year.
In the meanwhile, the dramatic thriller co-stars Ellen Page, Alexander Skarsgard, Patricia Clarkson and Shiloh Fernandez has released their Sundance trailer, which you can check out below.
The film has a very Anonymous-type feel to it as an operative for an elite P.I. firm becomes the target of group executing covert attacks upon major corporations.
The East is one of the last films produced by the late Tony Scott.
For all those wondering if the flying monkey seen in previous trailers for Sam Raimi and Disney's Oz The Great and Powerful talks, well, this latest promo answers that question for you.
Along with hearing the monkey speak (Zach Braff is providing the voice), we also get a brief introduction to the main characters in the film portrayed by James Franco, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams, along with some additional new footage.
There's certainly a lot of anticipation and curiosity surrounding this film. Does hearing the flying monkey speak turn you off from watching this movie?
Oz The Great and Powerful arrives in theaters March 8.

Matchbox Twenty to perform in Charlotte in support of new CD
Published: Friday, January 25, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 24, 2008 at 5:41 p.m.
Its been almost five years since Matchbox Twenty has collaborated and put out a new studio album. Now the band is touring the U.S. and Australia promoting its newest album, a greatest hits collection including six new songs titled Exile On Mainstream.
Want to go?
Matchbox Twenty in concert
7 p.m. Tuesday
Cricket Arena, Charlotte
Tickets: http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/780731 or by calling 866-448-7849 or locally 251-5505 or f.y.e at the Blue Ridge Mallv
The original plan for Exile On Mainstream was to simply be a greatest hits collection including one or two newly recorded tracks, according to the band's official Web site.
That plan changed when the members of Matchbox Twenty first gathered together to write new material.
Not only were they working on new material, but the band had made some obvious changes as well.
Adam Gaynor, who played rhythm guitar for the band on three studio albums, left in 2005.
Now the band consists of lead singer Rob Thomas, bassist Brian Yale, guitarist Kyle Cook and guitarist Paul Doucette.
Thomas has said that when the band first began collaborating on Exile On Mainstream he and band mate Doucette had the feeling this could have been the band's last album, according to the band's Web site.
"We got together, we fought, we laid all our stuff out about what was important to us now, and we started to write," Thomas says on the Web site. "And suddenly it was like, 'This is fun, maybe we should do a new album.' So we ended up with the best of both worlds."
Now at position number 63 after 15 weeks on the Billboard 200, Exile On Mainstream peaked at number three.
The new songs on the album represent a major shift for the band, according to the band's Web site.
On Matchbox Twenty's past three albums, Thomas wrote most of the material, with the other band members usually adding their parts later.
With Exile, drummer-turned-guitarist Doucette, Cook and Yale were included from the start, according to the band's Web site.
Doucette, who shifted from drummer to guitarist after Gaynor left the band, had made a solo album under the name The Break and Repair Method and had scored a film for Nickelodeon, according to the band's Web site.
Cook had released a CD with his other project, The New Left and Thomas's solo career took off with the multi-platinum ... Something To Be.
For this album, Matchbox Twenty drew from the 20th anniversary DVD of Live Aid.
The album's title pokes good-natured fun at the group's tremendous popularity, while playing off the classic Rolling Stones album Exile On Main Street.
The year 2007 not only brought us a new album from Matchbox Twenty, but it marks the 10th anniversary of Matchbox's debut Yourself or Someone Like You breaking into the mainstream.

With all that we know about the environment, I don't understand how this can even be such a big deal. It really goes to show you what people really care about.

Last week I posted an Endangered Species Glossary, discussing what the differences are between an animal that's endangered, threatened, etc. The next question is, how does an animal fit the criteria for being put on the endangered species list?
It's not as easy as I initially thought it would be. It takes careful observation and lots of crunching numbers.
For an animal to be considered critically endangered, the animal must be at least an 80% reduction over the last 10 years (or three generations). For an animal to be considered endangered, the reduction percentage must be at least 50%. For vulnerable, it's 10%.... read more

As a little kid in a sorta rural area of New Jersey, I loved fireflies. We'd catch 'em in jars, watch them light up, and set them free. I moved to California (where they don't have fireflies) in 1997, and then back to the Northeast in 2004. Since moving back here, I've seen very few fireflies. At first I thought that maybe Massachusetts was too far north to have fireflies, but even when traveling down to New Jersey or New York, I saw few fireflies. I kept wondering why. What happened to all the fireflies?
Today, I stumbled upon a website about the lack of fireflies. It's true, firefly populations are indeed declining. I learned that fireflies did typically live in Massachusetts. (Read about where they live) But why? And what can we do about it?... read more
Apparently I have imbibement on the brain, between my earlier post about wine and this one.
If you're a beer lover trying to lower your carbon footprint, one way you can do so is by supporting your local breweries. I know that Chimay is sooo good, but obviously beer brewed in your locale has a far lower carbon footprint than your favs shipped over from Belgium.
Here is a fantastic resource for finding breweries or learning which beers you see on menus and at the stores are actually brewed in your area: The Brewer's Association National Directory. Some breweries may also be pubs, others might give tours where you can taste beer. (Yum!)... read more
I'm a big fan of making things from home instead of buying them. We've been into canning our own marinara sauce and jam and my husband is a homebrewer. With the whole localvore movement, few things are more local than things you can make yourself. It's nice to know exactly what goes into what you make (no sulfites, insecticides, etc.)
Obviously, it has a much lower carbon footprint than buying something that comes from across the country. Sure, you may love your Napa wines if you live in NYC, but think of how far it has to travel. (Last year, Liz wrote a great post about wine. I learned that living on the East Coast, I'm better of buying European wine than wine from California.)... read more

Skip to comments.Lech Walesa shocks Poland with anti-gay words
Posted on 03/03/2013 11:08:43 PM PST by MaryLou1
click here to read article
"Could we trade Barry and Michelle for Lech and his wife?"
The irony is that Mr. Walesa and his wife (though Polish) would probably serve and protect American ideals of freedom and American values far better than do the current occupants of the White House...
I think it would be a good trade, regardless of what the Constitution says (and obviously, "what it says" is being ignored right now, eh?)
"Prolly racis as well......."
Troll, at least learn to spell.
And for the record I don't think certain people should have special privilege & affirmation based solely upon the manner in which they have sex. Nor should they have hijacked what was once an innocent carefree word to decorate their highly dysfunctional lifestyle.
So tell me what that makes me. Then ask me if I care.
You need a much better sarcasm detector......
"The left have so twisted public perceptions that the truth now appears pornographic."
1. I doubt if "Poland" was shocked.
2.The words are only "anti-gay" in the dialectic
where the other side in resolutely "anti-Walesa".
BTW, a better title might have been:
Lech Walesa's "gay problem".
Headline reads like some sort of Polish joke.
For an encore, he told them that the sky is blue and grass is green.
BUMP that
Huh? Any citizen of EU can live and work in any EU country, just as any ignoramus can post nonsense on any Internet forum!
Btw, she's not a professional journalist since she completed a zoological faculty. Nevertheless, for the leftist saloon, as we call it, she cuts out perfectly. So, she works for TVN, the most liberal TV Poland has ever seen.
As to Walesa, just BINGO!
In comparison to the rest of the European Union, taking the constant brainwashing leftist propaganda into consideration, this is still a drop in the ocean. And God be praised!
That face looks like he's had a sour taste in his mouth for a long time.
Not an apt comparison since Truman was a lying marxist pig.
Eeeeeewwwwww ....
Dude... Paragraphs. Learn them, live them, love them. I'm just sayin'
Sorry, Sorry!
Cut and pasted this from Wikipedia and had to do the morning rush off.
That was the only thing he did right, even a broken clock is right twice, him, only once.
Really how much kudos should a man get for fulfilling his minimum job requirement (of not getting a bunch of Americans killed if it could be avoided)? Really he gets this level of praise merely for not wimping out?
As you may have guessed I am the Founder and President of the Harry Truman Anti-fan club. And Vice President of the the JFK Anti-Fan club (Billyboy I think you should be President of that). Some conservatives have a weird fetish for both those men as if they weren't union liberal dogs because they each did about 1 thing right, whoopty doo.
Truman was the unqualified product of a corrupt Kansas City political machine, the White proto-Obama if you will. If FR had existed at the time he would universally condemned on these pages. He was as popular as dirt until he attacked the GOP Congress from the far left with his particular brand of folksy BS. His speeches in 1948 on economics sounded just like Al Gore in 2000.
The 20th and 21st Century rats Obama, Clinton, Carter, Johnson, Kennedy, Truman, FDR, and Wilson are the 8 worst Presidents in American history. Maybe ole Harry is # 8, that's still horrible. All of them had contempt for free market capitalism and the constitution. All should be strongly reviled by conservatives and never praised.
Agreed! Wish we had MANY more politicians like Walesa in the USA, instead of the sniveling politically correct weasels we are saddled with...also business leaders, etc etc....
I wasn't aware the UK was a member of the EU...
We've been part of the EU since 1973. Once De Gaulle popped his clogs, we were able to join.

I for one don't blaim China for diddly.
They are a huge economic power.
Then you treat them like one, and you protect your own people and workers.
To say oh, well there a people rich country and work for nothing etc, and us rich westerners have to accept it, and say we've had our turn now lets accept the star of the future..
Bull and diddly again!
As far as western agression? Since when has the West had the corner on wars and violence. Well sure they developed the economies and technologies to destroy us all. Basically they have perfected to great destruction the aggression of the vast majority of all cultures of the world, and now many of those cultures are doing their best to catch up to that destruction level, in war and in environmental destruction.
What is their rational. Well the West did it and now it's our turn.
Then we have the new apologists for them.
Yes we all know that the West is the unique inventors of violence and war, while the rest of the worlds cultures are all peace, and love and non-agression!.
They also created parliamentary government, civil liberties, separation of Church and state, womens rights, public education and so on.
Creations that are constantly under attack in the world, including the Western Word, by the very peoples who have progressed through them and created them in the first place.
So, don't fight for those ideals. And of course lets get the western populations poor and even easier to manipulate, by outsourcing and investing in the new rising stars of the world!
So much for the ideal of the progressive apologist for the abuses of all societies except their own.

Boston Red Sox: The Red Sox have applied to have Fenway Park recognized as a national historic landmark, which would make
renovation and expansion work eligible for federal tax credits.
Janet Marie Smith, the team's vice president of planning and
development, said Tuesday that the application was submitted to the
National Park Service about a month ago. She did not know how long
the review would take.
The Red Sox are in the midst of a decade-long, $200 million
renovation of Fenway. Built in 1912, it is Major League Baseball's
oldest and smallest stadium.
Smith could not put a dollar figure on the rehabilitation tax
credit, which is designed to give property owners an incentive to
save historic structures.
However, according to the Park Service's Web site, the
rehabilitation tax credit "equals 20 percent of the amount spent
in a certified rehabilitation of a certified historic structure."
According to the federal government's list of National Historic
Landmarks, the only other Major League stadiums considered for
landmark status were Wrigley Field and Comiskey Park, both in
Chicago. The process was never completed for either stadium, and
Comiskey has since has been torn down.
Setback for Foulke? Closer Keith Foulke's throwing session didn't go smoothly Tuesday, casting doubt about his simulated game scheduled for Friday, the Boston Herald reported.
"He played catch and will play catch [today] and then we'll see how he progresses the next day," manager Terry Francona told the Herald after the 5-2 Red Sox victory over the Royals. "`He still felt it. He got hit pretty hard."
Good step for Miller: Wade Miller threw on Tuesday for the first time in 15 days.
"I felt good," Miller told The Globe. "There were no problems going through the throwing motion. No pain. I wasn't babying it. I'll play catch a couple more times [before progressing to a mound]."
The right-hander twice backed off on his rehab -- postponing throwing sessions last Monday in Detroit and Friday in Anaheim. But, general manager Theo Epstein told the paper Tuesday, "It wasn't like he was supposed to throw and was scratched. [Trainer] Chris [Correnti] is in charge of his rehab, and he thought to get the most out of this break it actually had to be a break so that his shoulder has some time off to feel better and strengthen it.
"He's had some time off, he's feeling better, he's strengthened it a little bit, he's ready to crank it up again."
New York Yankees: Veteran left-hander Al Leiter said he's ready to do what's best for the Yankees, even if that means a move to the bullpen.
"Whatever position I'm in, this [being with the Yankees] has been a very good thing for me in my career, from when it started to where it is now," Leiter told The New Jersey Star-Ledger. "I don't know what [the coaches] are thinking or what anyone else is thinking, I just truly think about being physically and mentally prepared to execute pitches and not worry about my position on the team. I'm thrilled to be here. It sounds kind of corny, but it's true."
Leiter mentioned to manager Joe Torre in conversation last weekend that he can be useful to the team in the bullpen.
"There was some question as to whether I'm deserving [of that move], and that's fine," Leiter told the paper. "I'll do whatever I can do. I told Joe I can throw strikes, I can get lefties out. Whatever is asked of me, I'll do.
"But I like starting. It's pretty cool."
Chicago Cubs: Cubs All-Star third baseman Aramis Ramirez left Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves with a
strained left quadriceps muscle.
Ramirez injured his leg while grounding into a double play in
the first inning.
An MRI revealed a moderate to severe strain of the quadriceps
and Ramirez was to be re-evaluated Thursday or Friday. Earlier this
season, Ramirez strained his quad on the other side. Last year he
was bothered by a problem on the left side.
Ramirez was examined by a team orthopedist after he'd been seen
by a team doctor and trainer Mark O'Neal.
"We didn't feel any significant defect," O'Neal said. "You're
looking to see that you don't have any major muscle disruption. ...
We didn't find anything like that."
O'Neal said the MRI would give the Cubs a better timeframe on
"This is the one he had problems with last year," he said.
"We don't really know what we are dealing with now. When you
have one and you have injured the other, there are times when you
compensate. That could be an issue."
Ramirez, with 31 homers and a team-leading 92 RBIs, pulled up as
he neared first base, stumbled and fell forward as he crossed the
bag. Moments later, he got to his feet and was helped off the field
by a trainer and manager Dusty Baker. The double play ended the
Jose Macias replaced Ramirez in the second inning.
The Cubs have been beset by injuries this season with Nomar
Garciaparra, Kerry Wood, Mark Prior and Todd Walker all spending
time on the disabled list.
Detroit Tigers: Tigers outfielder Rondell White will have
surgery to repair a tear in his left rotator cuff, ending his
White was examined Monday in Cincinnati, where an MRI revealed a
significant rotator cuff tear, according to Kevin Rand, the team's
head athletic trainer. The 11-year veteran will have surgery there
before the end of the week, probably Friday. Dr. Timothy Kremchek,
the Cincinnati Reds' team physician, will perform the surgery.
"The chances of him rehabilitating that and being able to come
back and play aren't very good and (Kremchek) feels his best option
to continue his career is to get it operated on," Rand added.
White, who will be a free agent at the end of the season,
dislocated the shoulder Aug. 14 when he attempted a diving catch in
Kansas City. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list a day later.
His 2000 season ended after 95 games when he injured the same
shoulder sliding into second base as a member of the Cubs.
"It's not my throwing shoulder and it won't affect my swing, so
the rehab might not take as long as others," he said, adding that
he hopes to play next season.
The Tigers signed White as a free agent in 2004. He hit .270 in
121 games last year with 19 home runs and 67 RBI. He played 97
games this season for the Tigers, hitting .313 with 12 homers and
53 RBI as an outfielder and designated hitter.
• Tigers withdraw offer to draft pick: The Tigers have pulled their offer to first-round draft pick Cameron Maybin, Maybin's advisor Brian Goldberg told the Detroit Free Press.
In a call with a Tigers' attorney, Goldberg said that owner Mike Ilitch wouldn't authorize a deal for $3.2 million or the $2.75 million the Tigers had offered a few weeks previously. The highest Ilitch would go, Goldberg told the paper he was told, was "in the low $2 millions."
"As confused and disappointed as the Maybins are, they are still interested in negotiating a deal," Goldberg told the paper Tuesday night. "But at this point, I wouldn't know who to talk to at the Tigers to get that done. As the attorneys at the Players Association told us Monday, why continue to negotiate with people who don't have the authority to do so?"
Maybin has until shortly before next June's draft to sign with the Tigers. The only way he'll lose his right to sign with them before then is if he attends a class at Southern University, where he has accepted a baseball scholarship.
Baltimore Orioles: Right-hander Jason Grimsley was placed on the
15-day disabled list by the Orioles, who
activated outfielder B.J. Surhoff from the disabled list and
optioned first baseman Alejandro Freire to Double-A Bowie.
In another move, Baltimore added right-hander James Baldwin to
the 25-man roster. Baldwin was acquired on waivers from Texas on
Monday and joined the Orioles on Wednesday.
Grimsley, 38, has a strained left Achilles' tendon. He was
activated from the 60-day disabled list on July 14 after making a
surprisingly rapid recovery from elbow ligament replacement
Grimsley is 1-1 with a 7.98 ERA. He allowed at least one run in
nine of 14 appearances and has not pitched since Aug. 17, when he
allowed three hits and three runs without retiring a batter.
Surhoff, who was sidelined with a strained left groin, returned
from his second stint on the DL and started as the designated
hitter Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Angels.
During Surhoff's absence, Freire hit .250 in seven games.
Baldwin was delighted to be back in Baltimore. He joined the
Orioles on May 21 after a stint with Triple-A Ottawa, was claimed on waivers by Texas on July 21 and now is with Baltimore again.
Los Angeles Dodgers: The Dodgers could lose the rights on their No. 1 draft pick this week, The Los Angeles Times reported.
While classes start at Tennessee on Wednesday, Luke Hochevar, the 40th overall pick, is expected to take a few days before deciding his future. The Dodgers have offered Hochevar about $2.5 million, but the right-handed pitcher, who is represented by agent Scott Boras, is asking for $4 million, according to the paper. If he attends a class, the Dodgers lose their rights to him.
Dodger scouting director Logan White is not optimistic that a deal will be struck. Hochevar has not returned White's calls, either.
"There is a strong chance he will go back to school," White told The Times. "When we took him we knew it would be a possibility. We knew it was a gamble.
"It's going to take an effort by Luke and his family to get this done."
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
