Find out what program is interrupting Windows Sleep mode
A computer's sleep process is helpful in a couple of ways. First, it reduces the power consumption of the computer, saving you a few pretty pennies in the long run. Second, it can prevent pieces of your desktop from getting forever burned into your monitor.
When your computer does not enter sleep mode like it's supposed to, it can become rather annoying. Really, who likes a glaring (literally) distraction while watching a movie or having a bright light on in the room when you're trying to sleep. Oh right, nobody. If your computer won't acknowledge its … Read more

We were neighbors for almost 30 years. Every year around Valentines Day we cleaned out the old shed in back of his house to make room for the new seedlings for spring planting.
The first thing at hand was cleaning up the mess made by the raccoon's who somehow managed to walk through walls and bolted doors. No matter how we tried or what we did the waddling critters found their way into the seed room of the shed.
We reorganized the tables, built frames for the walls of plastic sheeting that would cover the new sprouted plants and attached grow-lights to the top of the frames. We had our own indoor greenhouse.
Every year the ritual was the same. Around 10 a.m. I would go to his house and his wife would have an early Italian lunch prepared for us. By noon the pasta, salad and bread was gone. Then came the wine.
Tony, being a first generation Italian, never liked having wine with lunch. He preferred to drink it after he ate. He said, "You don't spoil the taste of good pasta with wine and you don't ruin the taste of a good wine with the taste of garlic bread."
Being half Sicilian myself, I agreed with him.
As usual, we brought the bottle of wine to the shed, lined up the peat pots and very carefully and methodically started planting the pepper, tomato and egg plant seeds. And as usual, the wine started racing to our head and we decided the process was much too tedious and time consuming. We grabbed a few empty flats left over from last year, hurriedly filled them with potting soil and started spreading the seed into the box. After placing them under the protection of the plastic sheeting, we attached the grow lights to the frame, gave them a little water and tony and I finished the bottle of wine. We were ready for spring planting .
Since Tony entered the nursing home his back yard has been the home of weeds, dirt and staggering spots of grass. His children are too busy to take care of the house, and never water the yard. The first question he asks me when I get to his room is "How does the yard look?" I tell him it just doesn't look as good as it did when he treated the garden as a paradise created by God.
During the heat of the summer Tony would start working in the garden at 5:30 a.m. On his hands and knees, he pulled weeds and gently loosened the soil around his treasured plants. He used buckets of water to quench the thirst of his growing vegetables, keeping the walkways dry and weed free. He cultivated his garden with love, tenderness and hard work. His reward was good health, contentment and the best tomatoes in town.
As the years passed Tony could no longer work the garden in his usual fashion. He watered with a sprinkling system, used his walker to sit on while he hoed his hallowed soil and he no longer worked in the hot sun. The only thing he said he was still good at was drinking his brothers homemade wine.
It always amused me when I hear friends who are getting old or who are handicapped say they can't work in the yard, don't have the strength to cook, clean the house or plant a garden. However, they seem to find their way to casinos, restaurants and grocery stores. What is more amusing is that they have to park in a handicapped zone because they can't make it to the inside of the store yet, they can walk around Wal-Mart for two hours.
It was time for my visit with Tony to end. As I started to leave, he thanked me for being a good friend over the years. I knew what friendship meant to him .
When I saw him on his 84th birthday, last year, we talked about friendship and what it meant to him. He said, "A true friend, is someone who can understand our tears and values our laughter: Someone capable of sharing our happiness, and who gently guides us through our occasional moments of despair, grief and sorrow. A true friend is someone who is willing to jeopardize his own well being for your protection and one you are willing to risk your own life for.
"A friend is someone attached to us by mutual affection and self-esteem: a person we can interact with on a personal level and is reciprocal in honesty and integrity.
I will never forget what Tony said as I was leaving on the day of his birthday. As we made our way across the room, Tony gently tapped me on the arm with his cane. He was clutching his worn VFW hat in his hands and slowly moved towards the door. His eyes suddenly swelled with emotion. And then, in a very quiet trembling voice, he said, "David, I know what I would really like someday for my birthday — a friend."
Today, as I slowly made my way to the car my eyes suddenly swelled with emotion and in a very quiet, trembling voice I said to myself how fortunate I was to be considered Tony's friend and I realized how much I really miss our garden of friendship.

Distilling History
Professor Dan Pierce chronicles the Southern tradition of moonshine
(July 1, 2013)
The story of moonshine has been told on TV reality shows and caricatured in novels for years, but Dan Pierce's latest book, Corn from a Jar: Moonshining in the Great Smoky Mountains, shines the light on the generations of ordinary folk for whom distilling moonshine was a family tradition, and sometimes a means of economic survival.
Corn from a Jar chronicles the development of moonshine from its early legal days, through prohibition and the struggles against federal agents, ending with the newly legalized fledgling moonshine industry. It's an approach perfected by Pierce's examination and teaching of close-to-home Southern Appalachian history.
"What we do at UNC Asheville in the humanities is look at the human experience," said Pierce, UNC Asheville chair and professor of history. "Examples come up frequently in my teaching, and students are always fascinated by it – it's a good way of engaging them."
From NASCAR to Moonshine
Pierce also is the author of Real NASCAR: White Lightning, Red Clay and Big Bill France (University of North Carolina Press, 2010), a book which whetted Pierce's interest in a study on the history of moonshine.
"The story of moonshine and of NASCAR is about people dealing with poverty in creative ways and not always legal ways – people trying to find ways to transcend their circumstances," said Pierce. "One of the things I like to talk about most in class with students, and they really respond well, is the question of what we call 'agency' – how people respond to difficult circumstances, whether racism, poverty, class divides, ethnic divides. I think we have a tendency sometimes in academia to picture people as helpless victims. From my experience, that's rarely true.
I think in the rural South and particularly in the Southern Appalachian region, there weren't many families that weren't involved with moonshine somehow," said Pierce. "At some point in their life, they made liquor, they hauled supplies to a still, they had a store and made money selling sacks of sugar and mason jars, or transported it at some point. A lot of people are surprised by a comment that might come from a grandfather who may have been a Baptist deacon, who also hauled liquor as a teenager. It was a real common thing people did to supplement their income."
Learning from Family Traditions
Distilling spirits has been a tradition among the Scots-Irish who settled in the mountains of Western North Carolina. And that was true for Cody Bradford '07 who earned his degree in history from UNC Asheville and earned a place in his professor's book by putting his family tradition to work as one of the pioneers of the newly legalized, fledgling moonshine industry.
It was Pierce's class in Appalachian history that led Bradford to understand moonshining as a regional heritage that was both a product of social conditions in the region and a contributor to the region's history. "I was originally into world history," said Bradford, "and then I focused on Appalachian history because I found that there is so much here that no one knows about."
Bradford's family owns and operates Howling Moon distillery near Asheville, incorporating the original condenser from Bradford's great-great grandfather. He uses old oak barrels, caulks the still's pipe joints with rye paste and includes the traditional "thump keg."
"The thump keg really thumps," said Pierce, who transitioned from professor to student on a few occasions in researching the book, learning from Bradford about his family tradition and the production process. "That really helped me understand what it takes to do this and do it well. It takes some knowledge."
This was not a knowledge Pierce acquired growing up. "My father was a Baptist minister here in Asheville," he said. "Southern Baptist teetotaling was hammered home." But other families and churches had different attitudes.
Bradford's attitude toward it has evolved as well. "Making moonshine has been a part of our culture since we landed here, and a lot of people have survived and lived off of it," he said. "So I wanted to do it to preserve the history and what people know – what it's really supposed to be like, to do it the traditional way."
Corn from a Jar also preserves this history and shares the stories of the ordinary and extraordinary people involved its production. Order online from the Great Smoky Mountains Association.

Field Proven Virtual SIM Works with any Cellular Device - Smartphones, Tablets and Cellular Modules
RA'ANANA, Israel, Feb. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Simgo, global provider of the world's first commercially available virtual SIM card platform for smartphones, today announced the availability of a new ground-breaking virtual SIM chipset that enables cellular users to benefit from reduced roaming costs, broadband global M2M, increased operational efficiency and optimal identity security.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140213/NY65130)
Simgo's solution, which allows for the separation of the SIM card from the cellular device, is comprised of 2 components: a remote device which acts like a SIM and a cloud-based platform which physically contains tens of thousands of SIMs. The remote device is available as either a smartphone cover, a self-contained module or a low power, 9x9mm chip to be integrated into equipment with cellular modules. The completely fault tolerant platform allocates service to all devices dynamically, supporting on-the-fly switching according to any business logic, ranging from simply assigning local SIMs to adaptively choosing the highest throughput SIM at any given time and location.
"Finally, cellular devices and services can meet the needs of a global economy," said Avi Ben Shlush, VP Marketing of Simgo. "By breaking the physical connection between the SIM card and the cellular device, Simgo's solution provides cost and operational efficiency to cellular users, distributors and device manufacturers around the world."
Come meet us at MWC 2014 in Barcelona on Feb 24th to 27th at Hall 5, Stand 5F81.
About Simgo
Simgo is the designer and developer of a patented technology that offers the world's first commercially available virtual SIM card platform for smartphones. Our unique solution removes the need for physical SIMs, thereby reducing roaming costs through a service offered in over 30 countries, improving SIM management and efficiency and providing identity security. The company's goal is to leverage its proficiencies to impact the multi-billion dollar roaming industry and is positioned to achieve what was never thought possible. Founded in 2012, Simgo is led by a veteran management team of industry professionals, backed by private investors and supported by distribution partners in 3 continents.

Flint >Food & Dining > Fuddruckers
2373 Austins Pkwy, Flint, MI | Directions 4850742.992202 -83.738828
Mon. - Thu., Sun. 11am - 9:30pm;Fri. - Sat. 11am - 11pm
Build a seriously hefty hamburger at this fast food joint with a diner-like atmosphere. – In Short
Red-shirted, black-bibbed attendants serve grilled burgers made from freshly ground beef, turkey, salmon, and even ostrich sandwiched by buns that are baked in-house daily. Hungry patrons gussy up the meat at a condiment bar stocked with lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos and a variety of sauces, then take a seat at tables topped with a black-and-white checkered tablecloths. Sides of cole slaw, baked beans and wedge-shaped fries complete the picture.
About what you'd expect – Burgers are very good, lots of selection at the topping bar and the fries are hot and tasty. I haven't tried anything from the ice cream parlor or bakery but it's a good place to take your kids or have a family gathering. Everyone can dress their burger how they like and it is a no-pressure atmosphere (though garishly decorated as most family chains tend to be). If I had to make one request it would be to add a whole wheat bun to the menu as an option for your burger.
Good food & a lot of fun – You order anywhere from a 1/4 lb burger to the MONSTER 1 LB burger, they cook it plain or with cheese and hand it to you and you put whatever you want on it. you have a choice of any condiment you can possibly think of. what could be better? Plus the burgers are great!!

Police say two men assaulted a man during an overnight robbery inside a 7-11 store in Northeast Philadelphia.
The incident happened early Friday morning on the 2900 block of Welsh Road where the two men came into the store at around 2:30a.m.
The first suspect wore a light colored mask over his face and pointed a gun at a 60-year-old store clerk then slugged him the hit him in the head with the gun. The man was then zip tied with his hands behind his back.
Both robbers then took cash from register, cigarettes, and opened all the drawers and cleaned other items from shelves. They reportedly spent 10 minutes in store then ran out.
The man spent 2 hours trying to free one wrist so he finally called 911 at 4:43a.m.
Although cut and swollen from being hit in head with gun , the victim didn't want to go to a hospital to be checked instead he was taken to Northeast Detectives for report.
Police tell us they are going through surveillance and hope to get more information about the identity of the suspects.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

Andrei Kirilenko's study of the source of profits for high frequency traders deals has a very obvious bias: it deals with the costs of HFT to other investors without taking into account the benefits.
In other words, headlines like the one the New York Times is running—"High-Speed Trades Hurt Investors, a Study Says"—are highly misleading. The study says no such thing.
What the study does say is that HFTs are profitable and they make profits as a group from every other kind of trader—retail investors, institutional traders, hedge funds and market makers. It also shows that successful HFTs are persistently successful, which leads to market concentration and implies that some HFTs are better than others.
But because the study is limited to HFT profits, it doesn't take in account the value of liquidity provision. This is not a flaw in the study—it's just a limitation. Investors of all sorts benefit from additional liquidity. In order to know whether HFTs hurt investors on net, you'd have to measure the benefits against the costs.
There is at least some evidence that suggests HFT are a net cost to other investors. That evidence comes from a surprising place: the so-called Quant Bloodbath of 2007.
Here's how the Wall Street Journal described 07:
The trouble started Aug. 3, when stocks started moving not only in ways that commonly used models didn't predict, but in precisely the opposite direction from what was expected. Equally troubling, the moves were far more volatile than models based on decades of testing assumed were likely. Those relatively minor anomalies escalated quickly this week, exploding into a global rout for quantitative funds by Wednesday.
This led to the head of quantitative trading at Lehman Brothers to say: "Events that models only predicted would happen once in 10,000 years happened every day for three days."
The quants experienced this as severe pain. But it wasn't really all that extraordinary of a time for most investors. Stocks went up and stocks went down. The market ended the week a bit below where it started.
But, tellingly, the S&P rose on the days that were supposedly the worst for the quants. The reason why that is significant is that we've since learned that one of the things that made the situation so bad for the quants was a sudden loss of market liquidity.
And what caused the loss of liquidity? Well, it appears that one big factor was the flight of high-frequency traders from the market. The algos of the quants just didn't work well when the HFTs refused to provide liquidity. .
The point here, however, is not about the quants versus the HFTs. It's about what a rising market in the absence of HFTs may indicate. If high-frequency traders are a net benefit to investors, their exit should cause valuations of stocks to fall. If stocks rise while they exit, this at least suggests they may be a net cost.
This isn't decisive evidence against HFT, of course. It's always perilous to read too much into market movements. But it is one of the few natural experiments we have had in taking high-frequency traders out of the market.

2012 a year of change, controversy and tragedy for emergency responders
By Nathan Baker
Local emergency responders might be excused for being glad to see the end of 2012, a year punctuated by a series of tragic and deadly events … and by change.
On Jan. 31, Johnson County authorities were called to the scene of a grisly double homicide in Doe Valley.
Billy Payne Jr. and Billie Jean Hayworth were found shot to death in their home, their 8-month-old baby alive and still cradled in its mother's arms.
Mountain City residents Jamie Lynn Curd and Marvin "Buddy" Potter Jr. were arrested in February and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the deaths.
Johnson County Sheriff Mike Reece claimed the motivation for the killings was an Internet dispute involving the couple and Potter's adult daughter that led to her removal as a friend on Facebook.
The two men are scheduled to appear again in Johnson County court in February.

Originally much larger than it is today, Little Italy was a vast neighborhood comprised of Italian immigrants. Historically, Little Italy encompassed an area stretching from Canal Street to Houston and, during the first half of the 20th century, existed as a strongly Italian neighborhood. Over the years, it diminished in scale as neighboring Chinatown expanded to accommodate the large influx of Chinese and East Asian immigrants.
Today, Little Italy comprises an area of approximately four city blocks; what's distinctly Little Italy can be found on Mulberry Street, between Broome and Canal. The streets are cobblestone and a prominent feature of the area, often appearing in movies. The majority of the buildings are beautiful six-story walk-ups, several of which housed the many Italian families that originally occupied Little Italy.

Thursday is a very special day for some students in northwest Indiana. They will be boarding a plane at O'Hare and heading to Washington for President Obama's second inauguration.
When these lucky kids land in our nation's capital, they will be treated like VIP dignitaries. It will be a trip the high school seniors from Gary will never forget.
Seven students won a week-long trip to Washington, designed to give them a chance to study government up close. The essay contest was sponsored by the Barden Gary Foundation. The youngsters wrote about a community service project they will put into action in the spring.
"My essay was called 'Uniformity.' It was about donating uniform clothes to other students who cannot afford new uniform clothes," one winner said. "If you can have a good appearance, it makes you feel better in school and it helps you focus better in school."
"My topic was getting kids involved in karate to restore discipline and respect that Gary needs from our youth," another winner said.
In addition to attending the inauguration, the students will get a week to meet lawmakers and see the democratic process at work.
FOX 32 News is your station for coverage of President Obama's second inauguration.
Look for live reports from Good Day Chicago anchor Dawn Hasbrouck and FOX 32 political editor Mike Flannery in Washington, beginning Sunday night.
They'll both be live on Monday morning, from the U.S. Capitol.

It's time to protect yourself and those you love against influenza, or "the flu." Keep your family healthy by:
Along with these preventive measures, a plentiful supply of the vaccine is available from health care providers and local retail establishments, and this season's vaccine includes last season's pandemic H1N1 strain as one of the three strains in the vaccine. By getting vaccinated, you are not only reducing your chances of getting the flu, you are also protecting others by not spreading the flu to them.
Seasonal flu can be a very serious disease for those at greatest risk, and on average 35,000 Americans die of seasonal flu each year. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and California Department of Public Health now recommend that everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine each year to expand protection against the flu to more people.
"Influenza can leave you or your family members feeling miserable with fever, cough, runny nose and muscle pain, and unable to go to school or work," said Dr. Richard Burton, Health Officer and Director of Placer County Health and Human Services. "Getting a flu shot is an excellent way to reduce your chances of getting the flu – this shot provides protection against this year's most common strains of flu, including H1N1."
Placer County's Health and Human Services Department will once again sponsor low-cost flu clinics. These clinics are conveniently located in a number of Placer County communities. One clinic, scheduled for Thursday, Oct.14, is a drive-through clinic and will be available from 9 AM to 12 PM at the Gold Country Fairgrounds upper parking lot on Fairgate Street, off Auburn Folsom Road in Auburn.
While everyone should get a flu vaccine each flu season, it is especially important that the following groups get vaccinated either because they are at high risk of having serious flu-related complications or because they live with or care for people at high risk for developing flu-related complications:
Children younger than nine years of age getting a flu vaccine for the first time will need two doses of flu vaccine, at least 4 weeks apart. The vaccine cannot be given to infants under 6 months of age.
New this year, Placer County will also be providing Pneumovax (Pneumoccal vaccine) and Tdap (adult Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis vaccine) for adults in need of either vaccine.
An updated schedule of the County's flu shot clinics is available on line at www.placer.ca.gov. Residents can also call the County's flu hotline (530-889-7161) for schedule information.
Flu shots - $20
There is no charge to Medicare members with Part B and who are not enrolled in an HMO plan. Please bring your Medicare card with you.
Pneumovax (Pneumococcal vaccine) - $20
There is no charge to Medicare members with Part B and who are not enrolled in an HMO plan. Please bring your Medicare card with you.

Her last Christmas with family
Just one month before Christmas, the elderly woman had spent the day in the emergency room with her daughter Maria by her side. Unable to speak above a whisper, she asked her daughter to bring her home for what would be her last Christmas. She had spent the days since the hospital stay in and out of bed, experiencing many highs and lows. Some days she was out of her bed eating, talking and reading the newspaper, as she had always done, and other days she spent in bed, so tired she couldn't keep her eyes open.
But on Christmas, though she was experiencing new lows, she pushed herself to be with her family the entire day. This Christmas, the frail woman determined, would be like the many others she spent: in her home, surrounded by those whom she loved and who loved her deeply in return.

text: Hockey fans in Buffalo and Canada grew up asking their dads if they could stay up to watch Hockey Night in Canada to hear Bob Cole and Harry Neale. Today's young Sabres fans have grown up asking their parents if they could stay up to watch one more period of Rick Jeanneret and Harry Neale. Funny thing is, Harry Neale grew up in Ontario, Ca., asking his dad if he could listen to one period of Foster Hewitt, the legendary play-by-play broadcaster for HNIC. And on occasion, he'd sneak a radio into his room to listen to another period or two. On Tuesday, Neale was announced as recipient of the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award. The award is given by the NHL Broadcasters' Association to recognize members of the TV and radio industry who made outstanding contributions to their profession. "Without good work from the people in the truck and the producer and director, I'd be lost up there," Neale said. "This award has got all sorts of finger prints on it, it's not just mine." It would come as no surprise to those who have listened to Neale over the years that his reaction to receiving the award was self deprecating and emotional. The 77-year-old former Canucks and Red Wings coach said when he was told of the honor, he thought a friend was playing a joke. "The selection committee called me yesterday and I couldn't believe it," he said. "It never even crossed my mind that it was a possibility. So I said 'call me back in five minutes and re-confirm this with me because I thought he might be pulling my leg." Neale began his full-time broadcasting career in 1986. He worked 20 Stanley Cup Finals and three Olympic games. "There has never been a hockey broadcaster quite like Harry," Sabres President Ted Black said via release. "He blends his vast knowledge of the game with his own brand of humor and it has obviously resonated with hockey fans for years." Neale joins Jeanneret and Ted Darling as other Sabre winners of the award. Hear Harry Neale talk about his award here:

Poch: we can cope with injuries
7:00am Wednesday 4th December 2013 in Sport By Gordon Simpson, Senior Sports Reporter
Mauricio Pochettino insists his squad is deep enough to cope with a run of injuries over the busy festive period.
Goalkeeper Artur Boruc has joined Guly do Prado on the long-term absentee list at St Mary's, but those two are not the only players struggling right now.
Saints will also be without previously ever present Morgan Schneiderlin for tonight's visit of Aston Villa.
A groin problem led to the midfielder being substituted during Sunday's defeat at Chelsea, and it is an issue that will keep him out of this evening's match at St Mary's.
Pochettino, who is hopeful last year's player-of-the-season will return for Saturday's home clash with Manchester City, will also be without Gastón Ramírez, Danny Fox and Kelvin Davis tonight.
The Saints boss is calm about the situation, though.
"Aside from Guly and Artur, which are long-term injuries that may take a bit longer, the rest of the players have small problems that should render them fit for not this game, but the next one," said Pochettino.
"Then, by next week, we will have 90, 95 per cent of the squad fully fit."
The manager added: "We have 22 players and, as I've always said, all of these 22 players can become important for the team, in case there's injuries, like we're experiencing at the moment.
"Overall, we have the full confidence of our entire squad.
"It's important to have a very good depth of squad, to have all the players as fit as possible to be able to take part in a very tough two months, where there is many games ahead.
"There is more problems happening, more injuries happening, so it's very important to have them all fit so they can actually participate in our games ahead."
Former Villa star Steven Davis appears the most likely candidate to replace Schneiderlin in the starting line-up, although Jack Cork is also available.
Pochettino has indicated, however, that he does not see Cork, who is yet to start a Premier League game this season after being a key member last season, as a natural replacement for the Frenchman.
"The first thing is that Jack is a completely different player to Morgan," he said. "Their characteristics of playing are completely different.
"The second thing to say is that Jack has recovered satisfactorily from an injury in his ankle – he's been training the last few weeks – and hopefully he'll be fully fit for the game tomorrow."
Pochettino, who said he expects to include some youngsters among the substitutes tonight, added: "All players are hungry to get their chance to play. "They all want to participate."
Teenagers Sam Gallagher and Harrison Reed were recently unused subs for the 2-0 Premier League loss at Stamford Bridge.

Dani Osvaldo was given his chance against Chelsea and he was poor to say the least. It's about time he started paying back some of his transfer fee. I know he has the ability but does he have the belief!

In Poch and his ability to find a suitable second 11 we trust. I do know the coaches think we have a remarkable set of youngsters. I've been told this in private conversations. There is one midfielder in particular, the name of whom they will not divulge to me, who has several of them smiling.

Rays hit homerun for Manatee schools
Date: June 18, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Team members of the American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays donated a portion of their salary to the Rays Baseball Foundation, which supports youth and education programs in the Tampa Bay region.
Through this foundation and the Manatee Education Foundation, the Manatee County School District received $5,000 to help fund Baseball Math, a program that uses baseball concepts and statistics to teach mathematics. The curriculum for Baseball Math was developed by Dr. James Schoedler, a physical education teacher at Freedom Elementary in the East County.
Some of the players who donated portions of their salaries and team President Matt Silverman were on hand when Manatee Education Foundation Director Mary Glass received the check from the Rays Baseball Foundation at Tropicana Field.
For more information on Baseball Math or the Manatee Education Foundation, contact Mary Glass at 941-708-8770, Ext. 2148.

Naked Whey Protein 80
Naked Whey Protein 80 is the UK's first all natural whey protein powder made using all natural flavourings, colourings, sweeteners (Stevia) and ingredients. A ground-breaking premium whey protein shake, Naked Whey Protein 80 epitomises not only our insane commitment to pure, natural ingredients, but also true innovation.
Naked Whey Protein 80 is the ideal whey protein shake for anyone looking for an exceptionally high quality protein source to aid muscle growth and repair, with the assurance that it contains absolutely no artificial additives of any kind. You simply won't find any other whey protein on the market that can match it for purity and results.
Naked Whey Protein - 100% Natural
Naked Whey Protein 80 has also been praised for having a more natural, subtle taste and texture. This is because it's flavoured with Stevia Extract which is a natural, zero-calorie, zero-carb, zero-glycemic index sweetener derived from the sweet leaf plant native to South America. This makes it the ideal choice for those who want a subtle tasting protein powder that's considered more delicate on the palate. On that note, another benefit of using Stevia is that it gives a much more natural 'sweetness' level, so you get the true taste of the chocolate and the cocoa powder. Sometimes chocolate flavoured protein is overpowered with the taste of the colourings and flavours used with Naked Whey Protein 80 this isn't the case.

The Expert's View of Whey Protein
"The International Olympic Committee Consensus on Sports Nutrition states to support a strength or speed based workout routine athletes require 1.7grams of protein per kg of bodyweight per day. Interestingly research conducted at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada later found that endurance athletes require a greater (or equal) intake of protein than strength athletes to prevent protein catabolism during exercise."
Research: Food, Nutrition and Sports Performance II: The International Olympic Committee Consensus on Sports Nutrition (Ron Maughan et al, 2004).
Serving size: 30g (one large 70ml slightly heaped scoop)
We recommend between 3-5 servings per day, depending upon your own individual needs. It is widely recommended that for optimal benefits, you should take 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day.

Highly Recommend.
The chocolate is a mild taste, too be expected with natural flavorings, not bland, but not tasty either, just as it should be.
Vanilla, personally, I thought was grim and I like vanilla usually.
I'm a big fan of monkfruit for flavouring in natural formulations, might be worth experimenting with.
Good value overall, very prompt delivery, decent scoop inside, packaging seals well and without hassle.
Yeah, good first order, will try again
I have been using it for just under 2 weeks but can already see a difference, I take 60g in the morning and again in the evening after my work out.
In my morning shake I blend 60g with a banana, 150ml of semi skimmed milk and a tablespoon of whole natural peanut butter, I also blend in a multivitamin and break open a capsule of omega 3 oil.
Would recommend!
Would be nice if you could add some more flavours to this product please.
Thanks x
It is low in calories, it has a good protein to serving ratio, low carbohydrates and fat and it has a superb taste in both flavour. It is highly recommended, especially for women who want to get a natural whey protein with a good nutrient profile.
Only improvements I can see are more flavours and 4kg option for even better value.

I have this with just water or with almond milk and it tastes great. I am in the process of losing weight and this definitely satisfies any chocolate cravings I may have. I have been using this post workout and I can tell a difference in recovery.
Will definitely be getting this one again.
It's oddly difficult to find stevia sweetened products in the UK (real stevia not stevia "blends") - especially in a protein powder
I really hope more flavours are made

I have been using it for 2 months now and the only trade-off is the taste, which is not as delicious as other products from the Protein Works (mixed only with water). That is why I try to mix it with some other things which have different flavors.
I would recommend it.

After much searching I decided this was the best option and ordered.
So very glad I did. This is without a doubt the best tasting protein I have ever had. No overly sweat flavour or artificial aftertaste.

I have been detoxing recently and stayed away from my workouts and supps but now I'm coming back into it I wanted something more natural. I wasn't too excited over the plant proteins and this was recommended to me. I am in absolute awe at the taste, the mixability and the fact that it has no artificial flavourings.
I have this with almond milk and it tastes absolutely divine.
I am so impressed and I will be coming back for more I am sure!
Well this just tastes awesome - not only the best tasting chocolate shake I have tried but I reckon it is the best tasting shake, period!
If you have tried other natural protein shakes and thought them a bit weak, this is going to surprise the hell out of you.
Also Stevia is an odd tasting sweetener if overdone - this is just right - it is sweet enough, but no stevia after taste.
Easy mix, very smooth.
And no bloating - result!
Highly recommended.

I mix mine with just water and it tastes lovely - just like a chocolate milkshake. Totally fab to have when you are dieting and craving chocolate!!

Patient Comments: Restless Leg Syndrome - Symptoms
What symptoms did you experience with your restless leg syndrome (RLS)?
Comment from: ALICE, 75 or over Female (Patient) Published: March 03
I have had this feeling at night for about four years, RLS (restless leg syndrome) affects my stomach more than my legs. I feel it is more to do with my nervous system, I have not had a full night's sleep for months, I just hope it goes away one night. I am 75 years old, fairly fit and do loads of walking (with my dog), so don"t know what to do.
Comment from: bipolarbunny, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: July 11
This article is the gentlest description of restless leg syndrome (RLS) I've ever read. It's like there are maggots crawling in your muscles and vultures are ripping the meat from your bones and nobody has told them that you're not dead yet. It's not pain. Pain is like love. You know it when you feel it. This isn't it. It is, however, every bit excruciating. In fact, it may actually be worse. But it's hard to explain, the way you can't explain pain or love. Trust me, if it happens, you'll say, 'Oh, this is RLS.'
Comment from: a pinson, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: May 29
I went for a sleep study because I got up each morn feeling tired. I had problems staying awake in daytime. My test showed I didn't have a sleep problem, but my legs moved about 50 times during the night. So I was dealing with RLS. The doctor prescribed Mirpex, but it costs so much I had to take the generic brand for Requip. It does not work as well and I have really bad dreams. So I have decided to stop taking it. I am taking klonopin which is helping me rest.
Comment from: stevo, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: May 09
I have had rls for 30 years, I could get away with cooling my legs with cold water about half hour after going to bed but now it is getting worse, some things to try are cold water on legs, 5 minutes on exercise bike, hot shower. It seems that when I go to sleep and just start falling into a deeper sleep my brain release adrenalin and until I burn off this adrenalin I cannot go to sleep. Wearing socks and flannel sheets helps also.
Comment from: Bones, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: March 28
I have had restless leg syndrome (RLS) for so long I can't remember when it actually started. The last few years it has become increasingly worse, and it has also started earlier in the day now. I have tried Repreve (ropinerole) from the doctor, but it is so expensive ($50 for a month's supply). I decided to try out other options and so far the best that works for me is keeping slippers on so my feet so they don't get cold, and about an hour before bedtime I take two magnesium pills. I then rub my legs with deep heat, and put flight socks on. I look charming, but it actually enables me to sleep. During the winter I also put an electric blanket on to keep my legs warm. Some nights I still get up a couple of times, but this seems to work for me at the moment.
Comment from: katl72, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: October 08
I'm 40 years old and I don't remember if I had issues as a child. I do know for certain that the more stress I'm under, the more I have restless leg syndrome (RLS). I take too much medicine (over-the-counter, not prescribed) more than I should to fall asleep and sometimes that's not strong enough. I'm hoping when my stress level gets lower I will be able to sleep normally again. It's almost to the point that I don't look forward to sleeping until I can't keep my eyes open anymore.
Comment from: Chi-town Girl, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: August 16
I have been suffering from severe RLS for many years now, my arms and legs are affected frequently. I have finally found two things that work for me quickly so I can go to sleep, though I don't have a solution for during the day sitting somewhere. The first thing I found was laying on my stomach with pillows propped under one side and my arms pinned under me with my feet off the end of the bed so I can rub them together works, but don't know why. Then I found Hyland's Restful Legs at Walgreens! This works almost instantly for me, I am so happy to have found it. I keep it in my bedside table and use it often!

Chicago Confidential
November 8, 2012
For most of Election Day, Dr. Cheryl Whitaker nervously devoured an entire bag of Lay's potato chips while watching cable news.
By midnight, however, she had traded her living room for one of the cars in the presidential motorcade.
As the polls began to close, Chicago executives, major fundraisers and friends of President Barack Obama as well as Republican challenger Mitt Romney gathered at official venues for what they hoped would be a party, awaiting the outcome of a bruising race. In interviews Wednesday, they shared their memories of the night as well as of the campaign.
For Whitaker the celebration began to unfold about 7 p.m., when she, her husband, Dr. Eric Whitaker, and her two children drove to the Fairmont Chicago hotel, where they watched returns on two TVs from inside a small ballroom.
Elsewhere in the building were their friends of more than a decade — the president and first lady Michelle Obama. But even the Whitakers didn't get to see the president until after he knew he had clinched re-election.
"We got a chance to see him once things kind of settled down" at the Fairmont, Whitaker said. "He is always, and he was, pretty calm. ... We were all just relieved and happy. ... Everybody got a hug."
Joining the motorcade headed to McCormick Place, Whitaker recalled the celebration there as a blur. She remembers getting chills when the Obama family walked onstage. Sasha and Malia Obama, she said, "are growing up before the world." After Whitaker arrived home about 3 a.m., she stayed up two more hours watching the news and eating a dinner of broccoli and turkey.
"I couldn't eat (dinner) until I knew this was done," she said.
While Whitaker and her family prepared to head to the Fairmont, Penny Pritzker, national co-chair of Obama for America, arrived at McCormick Place, where she began doing interviews at 6:30 p.m.
"My favorite story from last night was, as I was watching the president give his (acceptance) speech, I realized there were two young children sitting on the floor, holding their flags, to one side of me, exhausted," she said Wednesday. "And there was a very successful hedge fund manager to my right. And there was a labor leader in front of me. And there were some good friends of mine who've been volunteering. ... Everybody was just there. There was no distinction. Everybody's just there for the same reason."
Pritzker, the chief executive of her own investment firm, PSP Capital Partners, also didn't go to bed after arriving home about 2 a.m.
"I sat up, and there were some people I wanted to communicate with," she said. "I wrote them and congratulated them or thanked them. I wanted to share the feeling of the moment. ... That personal touch, it matters."
In Boston, William Kunkler III and his wife, Susan Crown, both of whom raised money for Romney, did not wait to hear his concession speech at the Boston Convention Center. Exhausted from traveling, they left the party after Ohio was called. However, they did gather for brunch at the InterContinental Boston on Wednesday to hear Romney thank them and other fundraisers.
"I was amazed at how strong he was," Kunkler said. "Ann choked up a bit. She feels the country's loss, I will say that. ... He gave us an assessment of the race. I think it was honest. And there were things in his control, and things that weren't in his control."
Much has been made about the pivotal role Latinos played in this campaign as well as Obama's "ground game."
"(Romney) said this morning, with the Latino community, the No. 1 issue doesn't seem to be immigration right now," Kunkler said. "Their biggest concern, as far as what he understands, seems to be health care. And obviously the president addressed it with Obamacare. But I don't know how Obamacare is going to be financed, and we have not begun to really feel the effects (of it)."
As for the ground game, Whitaker participated, knocking on doors for three hours in Racine last weekend and in Milwaukee the weekend before.
"I don't think people realize how meticulous and well-done it is," she said. "We went out this last weekend, and there were a lot of names crossed out on the sheet because they had already contacted those people. Once they contact them, they cross them out. So that it's done, and you don't keep calling the same people. The list got smaller. They were much smaller that last weekend."
Understandably, Wisconsin's call for the president was among the highlights of the night.
"All of us had canvassed," she said. "We just jumped up and down, like 'Woo-hoo!' That sort of feeling that you participated and it might have meant something. That was a really great moment."
Exiting John Buck Co.
Jack Buck, son of John Buck Co. founder John Buck, will be leaving the real estate development firm to found an affiliated company to be called, for now at least, The Free Marketeers.
For three years, the John Buck Co. will have right of first refusal on any development deals Jack Buck sources. And the firm is paying the younger Buck a retainer in exchange for that right.
"He has helped bring in $400 million worth of development in the last 15 months, but most of his initiatives don't really meet our objectives," the elder Buck said. "They're really not related to our core business."
He cited his son's proposal to build a version of a Yotel — a hotel of chic but tiny rooms — as one such idea that was smart but didn't fit within the company's plans.
John Buck, 68, said he and firm principal Blake Johnson, who returned to the company in 2009, would handle new business development — along with Jack. The elder Buck said he was not prepared to discuss succession plans for the firm.
Jack Buck will remain a shareholder and will move his team into new offices by the end of the year. He declined to comment for this story.
Polk Bros. CEO named
Gillian Darlow, a principal at the Civic Consulting Alliance, has been named CEO of the nonprofit Polk Bros. Foundation, effective Jan. 7.
Darlow, 45, replaces Sandra Guthman, who will continue as the foundation's board chairman through November 2018. Executive Director Nikki Will Stein is retiring at the end of the year.
Polk Bros. was founded in 1988 and has since given more than $300 million to Chicago nonprofits, according to a news release issued Wednesday.

In an exclusive interview now available on the Italian Embassy's Web site, Ambassador Giulio Terzi di Sant'Agata discusses the importance of the "Made in Italy" label and the role of those products in the U.S. economy.
Amb. Giulio Terzi di Sant'Agata. Photo courtesy of the Italian Embassy.
U.S. demand for "Made in Italy" products has been affected by our current economic crisis but overall sales of Italian products in this country continue to perform well, Terzi observed. In fact, he noted, many Italian products (and overall style!) are now entrenched in the American consciousness and influencing broader tastes.
Terzi: The crisis has admittedly caused some pain to our exports, partly as a result of the euro's strength against the dollar. Our exports are led in absolute terms by mechanical engineering products, with machine tools and components. We're talking 5 billion dollars/year here. Next comes the agri-food business, at 3 billion dollars, then fashion and design, totalling 5 billion dollars. These sectors have suffered less than others from the crisis, because they've put down strong roots in the American mentality and taste. And we mustn't forget pharmaceutical research and biotechnology: at least 2 billion dollars a year.
According to Terzi, growth opportunities for Made in Italy products continue to abound here in the U.S. And although the term "Made in Italy" still prompts many Americans to think of food, fashion and Ferraris, Terzi instead highlighted many of the Italian companies who've earned defense, transport and infrastructure contracts in this country.
Terzi: The American market isn't saturated, and in many states there's a lot of work to be done for our brands. I'm not just talking about consumer goods here, but capital goods and contracts for major works.
After all, big Italian industrial and manufacturing names have been operating in the United States for years through American companies. They've won market segments in sectors like defence, transport, infrastructure and services. Groups like Finmeccanica, Fincantieri, Mediaset, Italcementi, Bracco, Brembo, Pirelli, Ferretti, Eni and ENEL have a sound U.S. presence, as have many other large and medium-sized companies. The United States are Italy's main market outside Europe, a market that will continue to be of the highest significance in spite of the competition from emerging countries like China and India.
What's next? Reaching younger consumers and marketing products that build on quickly evolving cultural tastes.
Terzi: We need to increasingly link products to consumers' evolving tastes and needs, especially those of younger consumers. Take wine, for example, where products like spumante are performing very well in spite of the crisis and competition: with innovative solutions and aggressive marketing, Italy has won a 12% presence in the sector.

The Associated Press
RUMFORD — A paper mill in western Maine is set to lay off dozens of workers, as the mill's parent company makes cuts nationwide.
NewPage Corp. says it's laying off 45 workers at its mill in Rumford. The layoffs will include both salaried and hourly workers and will take place over the next couple of months.
The Sun Journal reports the local layoffs are part of broader cutbacks. NewPage has announced it will lay off 300 people across the country, cutting 5 percent of its work force.
In December, NewPage announced it had completed financial restructuring and emerged from bankruptcy protection.
The company cites a decline in demand in the paper market as a reason for the layoffs.

love this jumpsuit!! One of my favorites
'My music is why I was put on this earth' Elvis Presley
Elvis from Russia
Another of the Blue Swirl Jumpsuit
Seattle, WA - April 29, 1973 Matinee Show
One of my favorite suits!
Thank you all for the wonderful photos!
I dream a world where man no other man
will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
and peace its paths adorn...
The original belt that was desinged for this suit was a huge mirror belt which he used only twice during the June 1972 tour. The thin blue macramé belt he used in Vegas in September 1972 is from 1971. He used it for the first time on a suit named the "Knot Suit". Finally in 1973 a new belt was designed which seemed to be more in place. The "Tin Blue Macramé Belt" was his favourite. So you see there are three different belts.
Blue Swirl with Blue Macrame Belt
Las Vegas
The " Blue Swirl " with an alternative belt.
The ' mirror belt ' was used in February 1972 with the " Black Pyramid "( at least a few times ) and on some occasions with the " Black Fireworks " jumpsuits.
The " Blue Swirl " was worn in August 1972 with a macrame belt ( similar to the ones used in 1970 ) and in April 1973 with a regular stage belt. Those two belts were both designed for this stage attire.
On September 2nd Elvis performed his usual dinner & midnight shows, in a very quick turnaround another one was added at 3:00 a.m. The photograph above is from this special 3:00 a.m. show.
The "Mirror Belt" could not have been used in February for this belt was originally designed for this suit which is originally named "Lucky Suit".
And what makes you think.........
The Blue Swirl Jumpsuit has always been one of my fave Elvis Jumpsuits and it would have been nice if Elvis wore it for the 'On Tour" filming
This is NOT the "Blue Swirl Suit". It's called "Lucky Suit". The "Blue Swirl" was worn in 1974.
Hihihihi; I'm not sure, everybody called it "the blue swirl" except you, Leroy...
You're a big Fan, like us, not a teacher !!!!
Stop to shoot the mistake Leroy, it's bad to us...
We are here to spend a good time !!!!
Don't stress, be cool.
It's not that I want to be a teacher. I have called this suit the "Blue Swirl" for many years too but the designer of the suit pointed out to me that it was wrong. I'm just here to share knowledge and to try to stop untrue myths as there are too many in the Elvis world. If I would call "Jailhouse Rock" the "Prisoner's Song" I would be corrected too. It's the same thing.
All these suits got designer names and I happened to know them. And I'm just passing them on. If that is something you can't appriciate then the problem is not at my side.
I said that I thought !!!!
I saw yesterday, on the Bill Belew's links, that's jumpsuit called "the Blue Swirl", effectively... (b-k-enterprises)
But, sincerly, I don't care !!!!!
Le'ts called the "lucky suit", otherwise, that will be no correct for our
friend, Leroy !!!!
Is it your pleasure ????
You'll be a moderator !!!!! You are the best one !!!!
Thank you Leroy.
