The Pokagon Township board unanimously approved a resolution to allow Four Winds to build a new casino south of Dowagiac during its meeting Wednesday evening.
The casino will be the smallest of the Four Winds properties. Its New Buffalo location has 3,000 slots, Hartford has 500 and Dowagiac will only have 200.
"This is what we refer to as a locals casino, people coming from Chicago just to gamble, they're going to stop in new buffalo first," said Chairman Matt Wesaw of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians.
Several residents raised concerns about traffic and property values during the meeting. Four Winds representatives said studies showed it would not significantly increase traffic. Township Supervisor Linda Preston told residents she believed the casino will not have a negative impact on property values and could potentially raise it, but some were unconvinced.
"To me a gambling casino is derogatory to our community. We're going to have more problems around here than we've got," said Cheryl Callahan, who lives less than a mile from the new casino site.
Callahan and her husband, Roger, said they planned to move following Wednesday's vote. They also expressed disappointment about the 100 jobs the casino is expected to create.
"They're going to bring in 100 jobs, I mean what's 100 jobs? They can go work at McDonald's and the other fast food restaurants that employ 100 people. Who's it going to benefit?" questioned Callahan.
Wesaw countered their argument and said the casino will positively impact the tribe and the local economy.
"Everybody just needs to recognize that a good number of our people live here. This is home, so this is going to be a plus for community. When you're adding 100 jobs that's important, especially in this economy," said Wesaw. "It's all about community. Many of our people live here. We're not going to do something poor. "
Dowagiac is the final site where the tribe can build a casino. In October 2008, tribal leaders and the state of Michigan amended its compact, which allows gaming, to last until 2028.
The tribe agreed to be limited to three casinos in the state. It also pays six percent of net revenue to the state and two percent to local governments.
Four Winds expects to begin construction in July and be ready to open the doors by next summer.

Remember these guys? Looks like they could be headed to the pen soon enough for trying to drive out an innocent black family in Compton.
Via L.A. Times reports:
Two Latino gang members have been indicted for hate crimes in Compton after a violent attack targeting four African Americans there.
A federal grand jury Thursday indicted Jeffrey Aguilar and Efren Marquez Jr. on five felony counts. The indictment alleges they are members of Compton Varrio 155, a gang that seeks to drive blacks out of West Compton.
Prosecutors contend the pair conspired to violate the civil rights of a family and a friend of the family by committing hate crimes.
"Hate-fueled crimes have no place in our society," U.S. Atty. Andre Birotte said Friday. "No one should have to look over their shoulder in fear because of who they are."
"They specifically spewed hate words during the attacks," he said. "Compton 155 has a specific credo of ridding African Americans from this neighborhood."
On New Year's Eve, the two alleged gang members confronted a young African American man walking down the street and confronted him, asking if he was a gang member.
They then they began yelling "NK over here" at the man — the N referring to a racial epithet and the K to killer–a phrase the gang uses in its effort to drive blacks from the area, prosecutors say.
The pair and two others then chased the victim down the street, yelling "155." Aguilar and another suspect then hit the young man repeatedly in the head and body with a metal pipe, prosecutors said. The 17-year-old man ran to his girlfriend's home, where members of her family were located.
Aguilar and Marquez allegedly followed the victim. Once the victim went inside, 14 or 15 members of the Latino gang gathered outside, yelling racial slurs, prosecutors said.
We sincerely hope these two are punished to the fullest extent of the law. It just ain't right, after all Black people have been through in this country, to be treated like this.

We wanted to replace a visually identical set of Cuisinart cookware that we got seven years ago. Every piece in this set was substantially smaller than in the set we have. They were too small to be useful for our family.
I bought this set for my husband for Christmas who loves to cook. It is a great quality cookware set. Because of the way it is made it takes less time to cook while cooking at lower temperatures. Keep that in mind while using this set, as you might end up over cooking your food. I would highly recommend this set to anyone. Please note: it is not dishwasher safe!

Rush Plan to Hit the Road Next Spring
To celebrate 40 years of making music with drummer Neil Peart, Rush plan to hit the road next year for a new tour.
To celebrate 40 years of making music with drummer Neil Peart, Rush plan to hit the road next year for a new tour.
On October 22, 1974 Kiss overcame a difficult recording session to release their second album, 'Hotter Than Hell.'
Kiss founder Paul Stanley, echoing his bandmate Gene Simmons' much-discussed "rock is dead" declaration, says the group wouldn't stand a chance if it tried to start its career today.
Gene Simmons may think rock is dead, but his former touring mate Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue begs to differ.
Joe Perry can empathize with Gene Simmons about the problems facing rock music right now.
It's probably safe to assume that we all have that hot friend that at some point we wanted to sleep with, but now since we are not single any more we can't, but in some cases we still want to.
Here's your chance to win an LA Kiss shirt signed by both Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, a one-of-a-kind keepsake for any season.
Cheap Trick's efforts to convince a judge to dismiss the lawsuit filed against the band by exiled drummer Bun E. Carlos have failed.
You didn't expect Gene Simmons to back down from his recent proclamation that rock is dead, did you?
The seeds of Kiss, quite famously, grew from an early '70s band called Wicked Lester.
They've been a fixture on the charts for decades, many current and former members have written memoirs and band co-founder Gene Simmons even had his own reality show, so how much of the Kiss story could really be left untold?
Ace Frehley responded to Paul's Stanley's complaints about his guitar playing with some charges of his own.

|Key Info
King John's Castle dates back to 1080 and was rebuilt in 1830. This exquisite English Castle is situated on an elevated position, giving magnificent views across the Wiltshire countryside together with having the advantage of being within a short walk of a delightful historic town. There is a wealth of period features including some amazing antiques. The castle is ideal for special occasions including birthday celebrations and romantic wedding anniversaries
The Castle has a long and fascinating history. The first Castle on this site was built by Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury in 1080. Robert of Normandy, the eldest son of William the Conqueror, was imprisoned here by his younger brother Henry from 1106 to 1126. In 1141 King Stephen was captured at the Battle of England and the Castle was besieged by Wiltshire thanes under the direction of the triumphant Empress Matilda (the daughter and heir of King Henry I of England).
Throughout the 13th century a number of Kings and notables stayed in the castle, including King John who often visited between 1204 and 1216. The castle was used as a prison by Henry II and Henry III and went on to become the property of Catherine of Aragon, the first wife of Henry VIII. Through time, it was owned by all of Henry VIII's wives. Up until the late 14th century the castle was a major fortress in England and played a significant national role. Oliver Cromwell, in person, captured the Castle in September 1645 and ordered the castles destruction which started in 1648.
The castle was dismantled and its stone used for local building works. What remains of the medieval castle today is just the original mound, the outline of the moat and traces of the foundations of the great hall. The Castle that stands today was started in 1842 by Henry Goodridge, an architect from Bath. The Castle was extended northwards from the 1860s onwards. The north tower incorporates the remains of a 17th century brick windmill.
The Accommodation at King John's Castle sleeps up to 13 guests in 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. All the bedrooms and reception rooms are furnished with beautiful mixture of antique and contemporary furnishings allowing the Castle to have both warmth and wealth.

We're stoked to be working with Hoopdriver Bicycles on this tournament. They've sponsored our tournaments in the past, and for this one they're getting Brooks saddles laser-engraved for the podium prize table.
Hoopdriver is home to some top-notch mechanics and they'll be court-side to represent their shop with tools and a few commonly needed parts. Megs will be there all day Saturday at the tournament while Martin holds down the shop, and Martin will be there Sunday. Feel free to leave them tips!
But you should make it a point to stop by the store on Saturday when you're not playing, cause it's closed Friday for Canada Day, and Sunday and Monday. They're at 1073 College St, just a two minute bike ride straight south from Dufferin Grove Park. Martin's got an incredible selection of parts from Brooks, Paul's, Velo Orange, Nitto, crammed into the display, and some vintage randonneurs hanging from up high.

Prep Time:
Cook Time:
10 mins
1 hr 30 mins
What do you do with a boring day, 3 partial pints of blueberries, and too many cherries? You make jam! It started as most of my recipes do, with a whim. I realized I didn't have enough blueberries for blueberry jam. I had raspberries and blackberries, but I didn't want to put berries that would hide the blueberry taste. Ah HA! I had cherries! I hate pitting cherries, but for this recipe it's worth it. If you don't have a bread machine, no worries! Just use the timing found in other jam recipes that call for pectin.

South Bend, Ind. No one was injured early Saturday morning when a car crashed into a home in South Bend.
It happened around 3:30 Saturday morning in the 1100 block of Broadway Street. A car crashed into a home destroying the front porch of the home.
It makes it dangerous for the residents of the home because that is the only way for them to come and go from the home. Fire fighters are now working to sure up the structure.
"We are now just making sure that it doesn't collapse when the occupants are coming in and out of the house," says South Bend Battalion Chief David Maenhout. "But there is no porch. The porch is totally gone, totally taken out by the car."
The driver of the vehicle fled the scene and police are searching for him. They do believe that speed was a factor in the crash as they found skid marks on the road.

Classic Jobbers: The Mulkeys
There was a time in wrestling not so long ago when jobbers were regularly employed. The vast majority of jobbers were singles competitors, but there was a tag team of two brothers who were regular jobbers in the JCP/WCW days. Randy and Bill Mulkey even had a reverse Goldberg gimmick that tracked their record as a tag team. Their record reportedly reached 0-180 before their first win (see below). This gimmick actually worked, and the pair attracted a following which was later dubbed "Mulkeymania" in parody of Hulkamania.
The Mulkey brothers looked the part they played. They were probably the only wrestlers in the 1980s to NOT be suspected of steroid abuse as they had virtually no physiques to speak of. It seemed plausible that any two fans out of the audience could pair up and squash these guys.
Here are some matches of theirs including probably the two most important in their career as THE jobber tag team of the 1980s:
This match here is famous for two things.
1) It was the biggest mismatch in tag team history.
2) It was the biggest squash in wrestling history.
LOD was like two Goldbergs on one team. To match them up with two puds like the Mulkeys seemed (kayfabe) sadistic.
Rick Rude & Manny Fernandez squash the Mulkeys. It was so easy that Manny just decided he would sqush them 2vs 1:
They even got hired by Vince to do tag team jobs:
But, the most note worthy match of theirs was the following:
The Gladiators were George South and Gary Royal. What is odd about this match is that it effectively ended their gimmick. In a polar opposite of unstoppable monster pushes where the first loss kills the momentum, the Mulkeys lost their niche by winning a match. It just wasn't the same after that.
"If anyone asks you if you've paid your dues, you tell 'em the check is in the mail."

Blink of an Eye
It is America's worst nightmare: A nuclear bomb destroys a major city. Thousands of Americans are dead and many more will die from radiation poisoning. Threats promising more attacks spread through the media. Panic has broken out in many cities. How could American intelligence have failed to detect a nuclear device? Who is responsible for the blast?
Sean Falcone, national security advisor, is tasked with identifying and tracking down the attackers. Powerful forces within the Capital point the finger at Iran. But appearances are always deceiving, and never more so than when millions of innocent people may die for a crime they did not commit. With the potential to incite the entire Muslim world against America and bring the world to the brink of Armageddon, Falcone discovers an astonishing secret hidden deep within the upper echelons of Washington's elite...but why should the President—or the American people—believe him?
Pulling from years of international affairs and defense planning experience, the former Secretary of Defense under Bill Clinton creates a sweeping, all-too-real political thriller.

I really liked the look of these shoes, the quality looks good and the style is just what I'd like - however, I take a size 8 and the size 8 in this shoe is too small. I have tried other shoes in the clarkes range and a size 8 is usually just fine but not this one - and there is nothing larger to try when you get to size 8 !!! Feedback from Clarks: We do try to be as consistent as possible in terms of sizes and width fittings and all our styles are fit tested as part of our product development process. However we do find that styles will fit differently due to the differences in design and that a customer may need to select a bigger or smaller size in order to find the most suitable fit.

I ordered these shoes and when they finally arrived I was so disappointed. The shoes are great and I would happily have had them in 2 colours but I couldn't even get my feet in them! I have narrow feet and I am a size 7 for all Clarks shoes. The problem with these is that they are very very narrow in depth (top to bottom) and I couldn't get them on. I returned them to a Clarks shop and they told me that it is a common problem with the Originals range. The assistant had Clarks Originals Desert boots on and said she had to buy mens to get them to fit as ladies are too tight. Come on Clarks, sort them out, I would like a pair that will fit. Feedback from Clarks: Thank you for leaving a review and we're sorry to hear you didn't find these shoes comfy. We know that everyone's feet are different and so do our best to provide shoes to suit all shapes and sizes but in the end comfort is a personal thing. We value all our customer feedback so thank you for your comments which have been fed back to our team.

Kate, aberdare
These shoes are much cuter than they look on the website! They have lovely cushioned soles and look really stylish. However, I must agree, they are small - I normally take a 3 but have had to order 3 1/2, which fits fine. They are also narrow, I am hoping that the side seams will loosen-up with wear, because even on my narrow feet they are a close fit.

Margaret, inverurie
I ordered a size 7.5 in this shoe; it came, it looked like a comfortable casual, but when I tried it on there was less room than there is in my recently purchased Un Loop size 7. With regret, I have to return it. My dearest wish is for Clarks to make a wide fitting in this shoe, because it looks as if it would be marvellously comfortable. (Wide fittings in the Unstructured range would also be very welcome.)

A motorcyclist was speeding and doing a wheelie when he collided with a left-turning pickup truck on State Boulevard this afternoon, according to police.
The crash, which happened around 12:40 p.m. in front of a Kentucky Fried Chicken near the intersection of State and Coliseum boulevards, left the motorcyclist dead and the truck charred.
According to Fort Wayne police, the motorcyclist was traveling east on State when witnesses say he picked up speed and popped a wheelie. The motorcyclist lost control of the bike at some time, according to police.
The pickup truck was facing west on State and attempting a turn. As the truck turned, the motorcyclist hit the truck right at its fuel tank, police said.
The truck immediately ignited.
Two men in the truck were not injured.
The crash left wreckage strewn across the street. State was closed for more than an hour.

Salehya Ahsan is a practising A&E doctor at a London hospital, a former Captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps and a freelance current affairs journalist.
Saleyha recently co-presented the hit BBC2 health series, Trust Me I'm a Doctor. She answered health-related questions that viewers may want to ask their own doctors, but have never had the opportunity to do so and demonstrated essential lifesaving skills.
After passing out of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, Saleyha joined the Royal Army Medical Corps, where she led her troop on an operational tour of Bosnia. It was there that Saleyha was inspired by the work of military doctors and applied to study medicine. Her medical and military background form the inspiration for her media work to date.
Saleyha left the Army in 2000 and settled into being a medical student and also returned to journalism.
Once a civilian Saleyha proceeded to work in countries she had not been able to visit when she was in the Army and is currently working on projects based in both Algeria and Syria. Her interests continue to lie in hostile environments and she has full hostile environments training. Her on-screen experience began in 2001 when she was co-presented and filmed for a Chameleon Films series, Dangerous Journeys for Channel 4, which saw her travelling to both the Indian and Pakistan sides of Kashmir interviewing Kashmiri mujahideen in the pre-9/11 era. She presented a BBC Radio 5 Live Special report from within a mujahideen training camp in Kashmir, after gaining exclusive access just weeks after 9/11 and then also went onto make a further special report in Palestine during the intifada of 2002.
She maintains strong military related foundations to her storytelling. Her idea, 'Pilots on Speed', was commissioned through Lion TV as an extended news piece for Channel 4 news, telling the story of how US air force pilots take amphetamines before they go on their bombing missions over Afghanistan. She co-produced the film.
During the uprising in Libya, Saleyha spent six months independently filming doctors on the frontline. She reported for the BBC's From Our Own Correspondent, Channel 4 News online, BBC online, the BMJ online and Latitude News. She can self-shoot, which allows her to undertake solo projects and is currently filming on her Canon 60D dslr.
Saleyha has contributed to the Guardian's Comment is Free pages which has included bringing a week-long series to Guardian Films about the use of secret evidence within the British Justice system. She has written for the Lancet and the New Internationalist.
She directed her debut cinematic short film My Mother's Daughter in 2008 which won Best European Film at Los Angeles based film festival, Pangea Day backed by the TED organisation and also Best International Film for the Tehran based Parvania Etesami Film festival.
In 2011 Saleyha completed a masters degree in International Human Rights and Humanitarian Law which has given her a greater depth of knowledge for her ongoing projects related to access to healthcare in conflict and the use of secret evidence within the British justice system. She completed her thesis to the sound of gunfire in Tripoli!
Her passion for storytelling has led to her first Radio 4 drama script commission due for broadcast later in the year and she is now working on her first feature film script with the Raindance Filmmaking Institute.
During Saleyha's time in the British Army she gave regular presentations to large audiences with the Army Presentation Team.
She has also spoken at a number of events in her role as a doctor including at medical conferences. She has given talks about her time in Libya, where she both worked as a frontline doctor and as a journalist and filmmaker and has spoken at the Royal Society of Medicine Extreme Medicine conference.

Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am so happy that I made the decision to send my daughter to St. Joe's. I love that there is a family atmosphere and the classes are relatively small. I have no doubt that my daughter is getting the attention that she needs. The staff is amazing -- always positive and so welcoming. The school is extremely well-run and the communication from school to home is exceptional. The building itself has gotten a lot of support from the parish and the new pastor has brought a new energy to the whole community. I highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a quality neighborhood school!
St. Joseph s school is truly exceptional and, as a parent, I would highly recommend it. Small student body allows for individual care from teachers and staff, who treat and develop each child as the gift from God that he or she is. The principal greets you and your child with a smile each morning at an efficient drop off. And she waves good buy every afternoon at a very well organized pick up. The aftercare staff focuses on doing homework with the kids, but also allows them time to play and relax. Although it is an older school building, the equipment and supplies are on par with the best schools - from the brand new science lab, to smart boards in each classroom, to new air conditioning system. And students reflect all the care and great education that they receive at St. Joseph. They are polite, respectful and get accepted to the best high schools in the area. As another parent stated, St. Joseph is a gem.
My daughter has been attending this school since K; she's now in 2nd grade. My experience so far has been good. Any time I've had an issue, I have been satisfied w/how they were resolved. I feel like the teachers my daughter has had so far have been caring. The only issue I have is the bldg; it really is old and could use some renovating. A/C in all class rooms should be installed.
The teachers at this school help each and every student reach their full potential. And having a small student body all the students are very close to each other and help each other. My son is also in the aftercare program and when I pick my child up from school late in the day I see teachers who have put a full day in still working on projects and lessons for the students. This school is a gem!
I honestly love the school and most of all my child which is most important, currently in Pre-K. She is recieving a great education and i love the programs offered. This is my first school experience in PGCPS and i would like to keep her attending here until 8th if we can continue
Re. the previous 2012-13 comments, the school has a new principal now, a woman who is a lay Franciscan. Things have completely turned around. Parents and teachers all seem thrilled and the place is filled with joy.
No longer a quality institution. Currently undergoing much turmoil....unhappy parents, demoralized teachers and out of control students. School is deteriorating under current leadership.
I could not disagree more with the last review. The current principal is energetic, very approachable and involved in the daily academic and spiritual life of the students at the school. He is a breath of fresh air! St. Joseph s is a wonderful school that fosters a learning environment that is academically rigorous and Christ-centered. The teachers are very dedicated to ensuring that each child is supported, nurtured and academically challenged. My child has grown from her experiences at the school and is happy to go to school every day. I would highly recommend this school (and the current principal) to anyone looking for a faith-based, family oriented and academically strong school with a bright future.
The school used to be a great school, I've heard. The school will decline under the current principal. He is a first year principal and he doesn't appear to have the skills to lead a quality institution. He has been inconsiderate to me and disrespectful to his staff. My child can even see this, which is a serious problem. I believe it is important for parents, teachers and students to respect and believe in the principal. Based on my experience with other schools, I don't think Mr. Jankowski will foster this sort of environment. Otherwise, this is a fine school, so I hope he improves soon.
This is a fantastic school. The teachers are excellant and do a great job preparing students for high school
I am a former st.Joesph's student. Most of the kids are great. I would not recommend this school to anyone though.
it is the bset school and the teachers really know how to spread the word of God
I am a graduate student of St. Joseph's 8th grade class of 2007. I would like to say that St. Joe's is the best school I have ever attended!! The students and teachers are soo close-knit that we are basically one big family. The faculty is oustanding, there isn't one day when you'll see a frown on their faces. The teachers aren't like any other! They are passionate about their job and always give one-on-one attention. The principal is the best!! He has soo much enthusiasm and faith in the school and it's students that it has become contagious. The education is definitely A==(no lie), over HALF of the students in my 8th grade class on honors . AND WE ARE A CLASS OF 24!! We all got accepted into the Best Catholic high schools in MD. There isn't a day when you won't see a student walking w/ a smile!!!
I am a former student at St. Joe's. I had a great experience with friends and other students at the school. I believe the students are good people there; however, the faculty is inconsistent, and it is difficult to have a teacher you are familiar with and receive adequate help from them. There is much updating in the sports as well. There are not very many activities for the students to be involved in, such as sports (especially for the girls) and clubs. The academics barely prepared me for high school life, had I not done my own work. They do not expect the students to go ahead on their own in their studies. I hope this can change.
I have been associated with St. Joseph's school for many years in one capacity or another. My child attended St. Joseph's from K-8 and graduated with honors. She is now a junior in high school and has been inducted into the National Honor Society. St. Joseph's School has excellent art and music programs. They present musical programs and perform plays. A sports program that is organized and coached by the parents and volunteers has produced championship teams. There is also a school band that has won 1st place honors. This year greater emphasis has been placed on science and technology programs, and after school Spanish classes were made available to those students interested. The strong hands-on leadership by the principal, the competent, dedicated and caring teachers, the excellent academic program, as well as the level of parent involvement, makes St. Joseph's an excellent school which I highly recommend.
I am the parent of 3 children who currently attend St. Joseph's School. This is our 9th year affiliated with the school. While there have been ups and downs, I must say that our new principal is determined to make St. Joseph's a sought after well rounded school. His enthusiasm and caring attitude cannot be matched. Our teachers are well respected and have our kids' best interests in mind. Qualified students take Algebra in the 7th grade. Our current 8th graders have been accepted into some of the best private Catholic high schools in the area and some have received academic scholarships. St. Joseph's has an award winning band. St. Joseph's offers all children the opportunity to play sports all year: soccer, basketball, baseball and softball. This is a school on the rise!
I have been a part of the St. Joseph's School community since 1987, all of my four children have attended or are still attending St. Joseph's. The current faculty and administration are incredibly talented and nurturing educators, in every aspect academically, spiritually, and socially. I am extremely pleased with the successes and innovations that have occurred over the 2007-2008 school year. In addition I would like to add that both my husband and I are grateful for the involvement of the pastor and priests with the administration and daily school activities.
I am a parent and former graduate of St. Joseph's. My job has required me to visit many schools in the Washington D.C. area. I have yet to visit a school that surpasses the quality of St. Joseph's. The teacher student ratio is fantastic and the discipline is evident in the way the students conduct themselves during class and in the hallways. The teachers have been very responsive to any issues raised and my children have each been given the individual attention required. In addition, the physical infrastructure (i.e., computer room, library, cafeteria, music room, multi-purpose room, playground, etc.) is in very good condition. Finally, many of the school's graduates over the past years have done very well. A number have graduated at or near the top of their class and most appear to graduate from college. As for us older grads, many of us are doctors, lawyers, or successful entrepreneurs.
I am the parent of not one, not two, but three students at St. JOseph's, and I couldn't disagree more with the previous message. I look at some of the schools around us and see the students around the pools and gaming areas we frequent and there is a noticeable difference just in attitude and respect between the kids at St. Joe's and some of the other schools. My kids get great feedback from their teachers. They are enjoying school, and even better, look forward to school each day. Can't say I was that way at their age. I didn't go to St. Joe's.
As a community member and parent of a former St. Joes student, I would NOT recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a higher education for their child. The administration does not promote nor pay for staff to obtain higher education, thereby passing knowledge needed for the student to attend and pass high school level classes. The students are graduating ill prepared for the real world of tests, debates, papers or projects.

In Negril it's 1920 (7:20PM)
The webcast starts at 2100 (9:00PM)
I'll never make it to 2200 but the DVR is set............
Hello, I live in Phoenix and the Travel Channel here does not appear to be broadcasting Hotel Impossible tonight. What time does the Webcast start? What time is it in Negril? EST?
In Negril it's 1920 (7:20PM)
The webcast starts at 2100 (9:00PM)
I'll never make it to 2200 but the DVR is set............
Jamaica (Eastern Standard Time) is 2 hours ahead of Phoenix (Mountain Standard Time). I don't think daylight savings is observed in Arizona, and I know for a fact that it is not observed in Jamaica. So Arizona is always 2 hours behind Jamaica. So, if it is 8:00 PM in Jamaica, it is 6:00 PM in Phoenix.
Thanks you guys, so I will link up in the webcast. Bless!
Im in Phx... yes it is on tonight. I have Cox for my cable and it is on at 11pm (phx time) tonight on the Travel Channel (ch48).
I am going to try to link up also -- it is not listed on realnegril.com so I was also seeking clarification on the time. I found info on the front page of negril.com. cast starts at 9 and the video shows at 10. I am already totally weary but going to try to make it. My situation is compounded in difficulty since I not only don't have cable at home. but do not have internet either. So I have to try to catch it at starbucks or somewhere with wifi. The things I do for my Jamaica fix.
I hear you, I don't have cable either (First thing we got rid of in order to save money for trips to Jamaica lol!) I'm really happy I can see it through the webcast too! Sorry to hear you have to go to Starbucks though, Hope to see you online in the chat tonight
Carpe Diem
We'll be right with you all...realnegril.com webcast will be starting shortly!
Lisa, I have a new laptop. What software do I need for the Live Chat accompanying the webcast? Where can i find the download?
I can open WIndows Media Player for the webcast. I'm looking for access to the Live Chat chatroom. When I click "Live Chat" the window that normally asks for a user name for the live chat only has an "x" in it' I assume that my new laptop is missing some software. I've been in the chatroom many times before, just not on this laptop. I'll try to upload the latest Java and see if that shakes things loose. I though I already had that though.
Johio - should just need the latest Java
Thanks Booger & Sam!
I can't get into the CHAT, but I can see the WEBCAST!!!
I see Ms. Pansy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Funny, when you pull up the webcast it says live from 3 Dives....
When does the action start? I have been staring at a group of people so far....
I can't see the webcast (VLC on Mac is not recognizing the URL) and I can't chat either to find out what is wrong. Blah. I hope I can figure it out soon. Otherwise it is a no go.
Booger-- you are using VLC on Mac? I will look for that update now. I have used it before for movies but never live stream web cast. Help!
well no updates, I have the current version of VLC. Wahhh. I have a feeling it is just one selection to make but I have tried just about everything. And I can't get on chat so I can't talk to you VLC Mac using peeps. I really needed a negril hit tonight.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The term cereus is used to describe cacti with very elongated bodies, including columnar growth cacti and epiphytic cacti.[1][2] The name is from the Latin cēreus, 'wax taper' (slender candle), a metaphor for the stiff, upright form of the columnar species.[3][4] Some cereus cacti were known as torch cactus or torch-thistle, supposedly due to their use as torches by Native Americans in the past.[5]
The genus Cereus was first genus for such cacti and one of the oldest cactus genera. Its circumscription varies depending on the authority.
According to Cactiguide the word cereus was commonly and freely used to describe any tree-like cacti. Even in the Cactus and Succulent society, the word cereus was commonly used to describe most tall green columnar cacti. Newer members would ask the experienced ones, What type of cereus is that? or Can I have a cutting of that cereus in your front yard? This generic use of the word cereus is in this sense misleading and the word ceroid or ceriform should be used instead.[6]
The name cereus originates in a book by Tabernaemontanus published in 1625 and refers to the candle-like form of species Cereus hexagonus. Regularly having been described by Philip Miller in 1754, and included all known cacti with very elongated bodies.
Ludwig Pfeiffer in 1838 divided Cephalocereus (type Cephalocereus senilis), the name is derived from the Greek cephale, head, thus headed cereus, referring to the hairy pseudocephalium. Charles Lemaire described Pilocereus in 1839, now is renamed as Pilosocereus. The name Pilocereus is derived from the Greek pilos, felted, hairy, thus hairy cereus, similar to the Latin pilosus, from which the name Pilosocereus was derived. Genus Echinocereus (type Echinocereus viridiflorus) was described in 1848 by George Engelmann, the name is derived from the Greek echinos, hedgehog or sea urchin. Britton & Rose (1919-1923) and Alwin Berger (1929) continued to divide Cereus into many genera.
In 1984 a new approach to cactus classification was begun. The International Organization for Succulent Plant Study (IOS) found a working group called the International Cactaceae Systematics Group. The group has involved specialists in morphology and anatomy and experts in botanical research as electron microscopy, pollen studies, chromosomes, chemistry, and DNA analysis. Specialists in various groups of cacti have been included, or their comments solicited. The results was presented by Anderson 2001.
According International Cactaceae Systematics Group, published by Anderson 2001.

Do you think in code? How many lines of usable code can you write in a day?
Is it 10, 50, or 100 lines a day?
Is there a better way?
Some people believe that OOP or Object Oriented Programming is the way. Many of the languages today support this concept and distributive libraries abound going back all the way to the 60's and 70's, when Edward Yourdon began to make OOP a household word to developers around the world. Along with his efforts and the development of newer languages that support OOP, almost anyone can now become a programmer of Object Oriented Programming on a Windows System, write code, and make a decent living.
Let's explore a topic that is largely ignored nowadays and that is the concept of the "Uberprogrammer" or as IBM used to call them the "Super Programmers."
Super Programmer
Many have forgotten this concept in favor of easy-to-use module; sending calls and receiving data from objects and acting as if they were talking to us. This makes Window code quick and easy to develop as you are building on the work of those who went before. If you could have seen a Super Programmer in action though, you would have been dumbfounded. Thousands of lines of code seemed to flow from their fingertips and it worked the first time with almost no debugging required.
How many hours do you spend debugging your code?
Watching one at terminal while they were in the Zone was amazing. They seemed to hear an inner voice that was using their fingers with their eyes unfocused, not stopping until their task was done, and the completed piece of software was finished. If you looked at the source, it was almost a work of art in its simplicity and elegance.
Super Programmer – Their Demise
IBM was using Super Programmer concept when it created the first of its Chief Programmer Teams built around one of these Ubermensch. Therein lays their glory and their demise, because IBM did not have enough of the Super Programmers to go around. The exact numbers are hard to come by; however, it was roughly 1 to 100 regular programmers. If you asked upper management at IBM, it was closer to 1 Super Programmer to 1000 regular software developers. This is of course why the concept was dropped and alternative means were discovered and utilized.
This even today has not changed and resulted recently in the SWIFT Development System for creating iPhone Apps for Apple and other Smartphone products under the Windows OS or the Mac. There are not enough App programmers available to do the necessary work today. This seems to parallel what happened with the Super Programmers.
What If?
If you ever read the book "Writing with Power" by Peter Elbow, you will see a way to use both the Super Programmer concept with our current methodologies of OOP design together, as this writer did. These thoughts promulgated in the book are by no means unique. During the 1930's through the early 60's writers were generating reams of words on paper in a short time.
Walter B. Gibson one of the greatest of them could turn a large novel out in only 3 days. Just imagine writing an App that quickly. Could this same concept be applied to using Object Oriented Programming as well? It has never been spoken of ever being done or even mentioned at any of the user conferences or even online. Speed, number of lines, and word count are taboo topics.
The idea is valid though, writing code is like writing in a slightly stilted form of English. You could even compare it to writing in a foreign language if you wanted to."War and Peace" was written in Russian. Could something called "Year End Statement" be written in PHP?
Writing Code: Compare it to Writing another Language
Writing code is very similar to writing anything else. Just because we use a synthetic language to do it doesn't change things.
Each Super Programmer may have been a genius that we can't duplicate and this is why we had to create the Object Oriented methodology that regular programmers, being lesser mortals could perform the same Olympian feats quicker and under budget.
A more interesting possibility is that Super Programmers thought and spoke in the language of computers. By using the same techniques of the Pulp writers of the 30's, were merely writing down their thoughts about how to solve a problem, that when read by a computer got the results that IBM and the owners of the computers of the day wanted.
Therefore, by studying the methods of the past, we could possibly speed the writing and improve the quality of the code written today. Apple's SWIFT development language is becoming the vehicle of choice if you want to write for Apple or other Smart Phones using the Windows platform.

Now that schools are letting out, and the holiday weekend is upon us, there is no doubt grills will be firing up this weekend. The Douglas County Health Department is reminding us about the importance of not serving our guests gut-wrenching bacteria.
County Health Director Dr. Adi Pour said, "It is impossible to tell if meat is safe to eat just by looking at it. Using a thermometer is the only way to know for sure that the meat has reached a high enough temperature to destroy pathogens of public health concerns."
The internal temperatures of cooked meats should reach 165 for poultry products, 155 for ground meats, and 145 degrees for beef and pork, steaks, roasts, and chops.
Other tips:
Clean your grill between each use
Beef and pork should be "rested" for 3 minutes to allow the heat to spread and kill more contaminants
Keep cold foods 41 degrees or below and hot foods above 135 degrees
Promptly refrigerate any leftovers
