text: DigitalApple files patent for maximizing battery life via GPSBy Brandy Shaul|July 26, 2013 ShareBy Brandy Shaul|July 26, 2013 Share Apple has applied for a patent detailing "Power Management for Electronic Devices," a new system that will see mobile electronic devices (like new iPhones) learning from their surroundings and altering their running programs to conserve battery life based on how long it's been since the device has been charged.The patent application details the system's ability to learn based on typical charging locations. As the device learns the GPS locations of common charging stations (home or work, for instance), it will then modify its "power management scheme," decreasing screen brightness, turning off unused applications, etc. in response to its distance from those locations.The application reads: "Using a GPS sensor the mobile electronic device may determine, based on its current location, that it may be at least eight hours before the mobile electronic device will be recharged or otherwise connected to an external power source. In this case, the mobile electronic device may modify the power management scheme by adjusting one or more characteristics or settings."The power management system will adjust dynamically based on the device's current usage. Users would also have the power to override these settings or implement static management schemes based on their preferences.As spotted by VentureBeat, the system would also account for charging in unknown locations, like airports, train or bus stations. In these locations, the device would "know" that time for a full charge likely won't be available, and would thus charge the device at "a maximum rate."Apple hasn't released plans to actually implement this new technology, but given the company's focus on increasing battery life in the past, it definitely wouldn't be surprising.[H/T AppInsider] Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kgdQ0V copy Adweek Adweek

Song Of The Day 10/24/2016: Randy Newman – "Putin"
After that and some Disney movies I can't be bothered to look up now, nothing. Until earlier this month when his new track "Putin" came out. Supposedly there'll be an album in 2017 too. Standing alongside other political satires by Newman, "Putin" is a little less biting and maybe too specific for its own good. But it's Randy, so he pulls off some great lines: "Putin puttin' his hat on/Hat size number nine/You sayin' Putin's gettin' big headed?/ Putin's head's just fine!" Or this, which works handsomely as a standalone non-sequitor: "These chicken farmers and file clerks gonna be the death of me."

This isn't as random as it sounds, I swear. Just stick with me for a second! Pretty please? See, I know a girl who knows a guy who's one of the producers on The Bachelor. The last time he was in town, I couldn't help but complain about the quality of the dates on the past few seasons. Between The Bachelor and The Bachelorette there have been 18 seasons total—and frankly, things are starting to feel a little stale, right?
The pig who gets the final rose won't try to smooch me on a helicopter ride.
Naturally when I complained to my friend, his reply was, "Well, can you come up with something better?" In a word: Yes. So here are my three least-favorite types of dates on The Bachelor, along with my (very expensive!) suggestions for making them interesting.
*WHAT I'D LOVE TO SEE: HARD-CORE CIRCUS CLASS Rather than wasting a few hours on a soap opera sound stage (Snooze Fest!), the girls and the Bachelor would get up extra-early and spend a full day at a real-life circus training program. Let's suss out the winners based on their physical strength, stamina, and ability to work as a group, shall we? The top two can perform in the circus that night. The bottom two are sent to clean the elephant cages during the show. The rest are demoted to hobo clowns and have to watch the show while sweeping up trash. *WHAT I LOATHE: THE TWIN SWITCHEROO
WHAT I'D LOVE TO SEE: THE NON-TWIN SIBLING SWAP I don't know if it's just me, but the twins, for the most part, barely look related. (One's taller with lighter or longer hair. The other has acne and crooked teeth.) You're not fooling anyone. Or anyone smart. Let's eliminate the "We're Playing a Trick on You!" element and instead bring in a sister (or female first cousin) of each Bachelorette. The date card will say, "Pack your bags then lounge around the pool. The Bachelor's on a date with all your sisters right now, and when he sends one of them home, her sister's going with her." Added bonus: The siblings wouldn't be able to reveal which Bachelorette they're related to. Double added bonus: There would be a few decoy sisters—girls who aren't related to any of them—but no one will know who's who!
WHAT I'D LOVE TO SEE: SOME BAD-ASS CAMPING I'm so bored by the helicopter scenario. Let's skip it next season. Now I know we've seen pansies sipping hot cocoa in tents (that the crew set up) during past seasons, but I prefer a camping trip that involves breaking a sweat. You know those horses they sometimes trot out? Let's take them for a real ride (not around a circle) 20 miles out. Once the couple gets there, they have to set up their own site, build their own fire, and can only eat food they packed beforehand. The crew could be there to help—or we could give the lucky couple a camera and a tripod and hope they don't totally junk it up.
So how do you like my date ideas? Can you think of more I can share with my friend? I promised him you guys would have great, creative, over-the-top ideas! And for once on Little Miss Fortune, money is no object! (I may have used the words "rabid fans of The Bachelor" to describe you guys to my friend ... Don't let me down!)

Ugg fans should look away now. There is a new contender for this winter's hottest boot. It will even keep your feet dry. Snowjoggers, which hail from Denmark via the trend-setting streets of Los Angeles, are tipped as the latest footwear phenomenon.
Grazia, the weekly shopping bible, was among the first magazines to predict Snowjoggers would be "this winter's most-wanted snuggly boot" but Marie Claire, Glamou and top teen read Sugar have followed suit. Already white and brown versions have sold out on Asos.com, the online shopping site that features items worn by celebrities.
West Coast fans include Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham and Liv Tyler. Over here, Sienna Miller is an early convert. "Snowjoggers are destined to be this season's shopping heartbreaker, selling out everywhere," said Angela Buttolph, Grazia's favourite is a black patent version, although Snowjoggers come in a rainbow of colours from metallic burgundy to gold.
The brainchild of a Danish-born designer, Eik Braun Ottosen, Snowjoggers are a hybrid moon-boot-come-trainer. They tick the catwalk-inspired padded clothing box that is big this winter. They also tap into the shopping-with-a-conscience trend as his company Rubber Duck gives profits back to the Bangladeshi women who make them.
But retail experts predict Ugg boots are unlikely to capitulate quickly. After shortages last winter, sales are exploding. A.M.G, Ugg's Scottish-based UK distributor has almost doubled its sales this year to 120,000 pairs, while Kate Kuba, the shoe chain that first stocked the brand in the UK, said its sales were up 400 percent. Cos Constantinou, owner of Kate Kuba, said: "Ugg is now a perm-trend. They are no longer a fashion item but a staple part of the winter wardrobe. I can't see that changing." The Classic Tall black pair and a wedge-heeled chocolate brown version are the current best sellers.

The Book: The Misinterpreted Gospel of Singleness
Available NOW on Amazon.com
or on CreateSpace $12.99
There have been many books written on "how to be single." This isn't one of them. "The Misinterpreted Gospel of Singleness" is a book written by Khristi Adams. She offers up a cultural critique of myths surrounding singleness in the Christian community. Khristi describes the misinterpreted gospel of singleness as; "a negative message- oftentimes unintentional- communicated to individuals over a period of time that causes them to adopt unhealthy views of self and relationships." Each chapter analyzes a different myth, includes authentic, emotional & personal stories and offers up positive alternatives. The book is not anti-marriage, but instead a celebration of singleness in the same way that our culture celebrates the beauty of marriage.
"Khristi Adams has the rare gift of being both thoughtfully profound and practically relevant. She has grappled through her own life experiences on singleness and through discernment has passed on hope and truth. This is a thoughtful read not just for singles but for the entire church as we are all challenged and encouraged to live out what it means to be the true family of God."
Woody Morwood, Azusa Pacific University, Lead Campus Pastor
"The re-envisioned theology of singleness described here is long overdue. The reality is that many of us will be single for a significant part of our lives, and so a more inclusive model that integrates singles more fully into the life of the church benefits us all."
Gail Wallace, Co-Founder of the Junia Project
"I would highly recommend this book to therapists to not only help those whom they counsel, but in uncovering one's own assumptions and perceptions about singleness. There were so many pearls in this book that caused me to question my theology of singleness. The Misinterpreted Gospel of Singleness will bring clarity and guidance to those Christian professionals who are called to lead people to wholeness."
Venita Welcome, LPC President/Clinical Director of Christian Wellness Center of NJ

You also need: folder_path.zip and: tbsc_dll.zip
Un-zip the file: folder_path.zip and run: folder.bat - this creates the necessary folder structure under c:\tbsc.
Un-zip the file: tbsc_dll.zip and extract all files into: c:\tbsc
Un-zip the file: mynet.zip
(but keep the "folder" names when unzipping), lookup up "mnfloppy.exe"
in: c:\tbsc\mnfloppy, start it and click on the TREE icon
to explore the application data which was created with "MyNet - Anywhere!".
Every time you want to share your URLs, specific information, comments, notes plus a range of downloaded web pages with others .... select in the FILE Menu of "MyNet - Anywhere!"
Create Viewer Disk ("MyNet on a Floppy")
this calls a four
step process (accessible from within one window)
( Step 1 )
Backing up the relevant data files with the following internal procedure (done automatically when clicking on the button)
( Step 2 )
Copy all necessary files from c:\tbsc to: c:\tbsc\mnfloppy
( Step 3 )
Load "MyNet - on a Floppy !" in: c:\tbsc\mnfloppy
[you can create a shortcut to "mnfloppy.exe" on your desktop if you want or access the file with your File Management tool]
You can now delete web sites / pages, individual files and categories which you don't want to distribute.
( Step 4 )
Call TASKZIP (external backup) and then create a backup job which will be stored in: c:\tbsc\backup
Usually you have to create the backup job only once and can then re-use it again.
For the last step ( 4 ) we recommend to use the FREE application TASKZIP from:
to create the necessary backup job(s).
You can download the application TASKZIP from their web site.
There are certainly other FREEWARE programs on the Internet fulfilling similar functions and/or working in a similar way - we will add some alternatives to our own FREEWARE page or search the Internets shareware and freeware sites.
The file name is: taskzip.exe
We recommend to un-zip the file: taskzip.exe into a temporary folder:
c:\temp or similar
Then double-click on: taskzip.exe and choose the installation directory as suggested:
After the software is installed (most likely in: c:\Program Files\Taskzip )
Copy the file: taskzip.exe to the clipboard, paste it back into the same folder and rename the copied file to: backup01.exe.
If you have updated your "autoexec.bat" file accordingly (see also our file: "path.txt") the TASKZIP application can now be called from within our applications (as: backup01.exe).
In this case you will probably have to add to the path statement
to your: "autoexec.bat" file (if not already in file: path.txt).
[ Now - one question might arise for all those people who have not worked with DOS (you may not even have an "autoexec.bat" file). What is the "autoexec.bat" file ? It is a simple text file which you can create with NOTEPAD and save it with the .bat extension (stands for batch file). When you start your computer one of the first things processed and executed are the statements in this file.
At: www.knowwareglobal.com
there is a free booklet dealing with these matters and also explaining
what an "autoexec.bat" file is. The name of the booklet is: "Getting
the most out of your PC" - just download it to learn more
about the "autoexec.bat" file. A search on the Internet for "autoexec.bat"
will also bring you a great selection of resources. ]
MyNetFloppy could be a name for it (but you can chose any name you like)
containing the following files (if you want to provide ALL your web site information)
mnfloppy.exe (the actual executable file: "MyNet on a Floppy !" )
(needed to run mnfloppy.exe)
browsers.tps (web browsers)
keyterms.tps (key terms)
netaddr.tps (home pages - main web sites )
netfiles.tps (downloaded single files like graphics, documents etc.)
notes.tps (individual notes about a web site / web page)
webpages.tps (web pages)
webtypes.tps (web site categories)
viewers.tps (file viewer applications)
[ minimum files required to run "MyNet - on a Floppy !" ]
You can also add the following file specification (use the "Add" button) if you want to provide ALL your downloaded web sites / web pages (which you usually store in the \html sub folder):
Don't forget to tick: "Include
sub directories for all wildcard references?"
(at the bottom)
for all web sites you have downloaded from the Internet incl. all their contents.
The file: folder.bat has created originally the following structure:
c:\tbsc\mynet\download\html (for your downloaded web pages)
If you only want to provide a selection of the downloaded web pages then you can create the following additions to the backup job (after having added the "minimum" files as listed above):
Examples for additions to the backup job:
We recommend to create a simple report with the internal report writer to list all web pages you want to distribute !
Back to the original folder structure created with the file: folder.bat
Below the level "html" in c:\tbsc\mynet\download\html\ you will find pre-defined folders named "\webpage1", "\webpage2" etc. Each of these folder entries named: "webpage1, webpage2 etc." can be renamed with your file management tool (for example with Windows Explorer) depending on the web site you want to download. New folders can be added at any time.
You do this first before you download a full page with all the details !
Then - when you choose to download a FULL page with your brower you select as storage location the specific folder you have defined below the level of: c:\tbsc\mynet\download\html\ in sub-folders.
Finally you will have some order knowing where all your downloaded pages are - and:
with "MyNet on a Floppy" you can provide not only the files (with your individual information for the recipient) but also all your downloaded pages for offline browsing. When running "MyNet on a Floppy !" the recipient can go "online" any time and continue surfing the web sites you provided. Together with your specific NOTES this is a new approach compared to what we are used to for years.
Also: It is easy to understand and to follow up !
Your zipped file file: "MyNetFloppy" may be too big to fit on one floppy disk - in this case please use the disksplitting utility from the Tools Menu (splitter.exe - disksp01.exe) and create a set of floppy disks if you want to provide the file on floppies. It can be easily re-assembled by the recipient.
See also our installation guide for further tools.
Or - and this is the biggest advantage:
Create a simple web site and load your zipped file up (maybe protected with a password) ! This way anyone can download and work with it immediately (of course only those who know the pass word).
Download the following FREE tool : secret.zip
For the recipient:
We recommend that the recipient copies the
contents of the backup job "MyNetFloppy" to his harddisk and
then install it to the root directory c:\
from the harddisk keeping the original
folder names (tick the option in your ZIP tool). The
recipient will then be able to run "MyNet on a Floppy"
(mnfloppy.exe) from the folder: c:\tbsc\mnfloppy
and all downloaded pages will be restored to
the correct folders.
Special Circumstances:
If the recipient has already installed an application from us then it is normally not a problem to install "MyNet - on a Floppy" on the same machine - because the files transferred have usually a different content, different folder names for downloaded files etc.
Important !
However if the recipient is also
using "MyNet - Anywhere!" and
creates "MyNet - on a Floppy" himself from time to time we recommend the
(1) using another machine (if available) to install "MyNet - on a Floppy!"
(2) if this is not possible then we recommend to rename the "normal" folder "c:\tbsc" temporarily to c:\temptbsc or similar.
Otherwise data could be overwritten !
Back to the BACKUP job itself::
Target directory selection for the backup job :
We suggest: c:\tbsc\backup\
Backup type:
We normally use FULL backup !
and: ZIP compression !
Then click on "Finish"
- you are done.
... teachers can prepare complete projects for their students with individual notes etc. from their repertoire
... for any presentation requiring Internet content a specifically tailored job can be prepared (and further processed) by the recipient
... to name just a few !
We are interested to hear about your experience.
Please e-mail us - thank you.

Control Screen Brightness And Turn Off Monitor With iBrightness
Picture clarity in modern displays depend on the difference between brightness and contrast ratio. The farther these two are to each other, the better your image or video would look. Surely, keeping your LCD brightness high during gaming sessions or while watching a movie does make sense, as the picture becomes more vivid and bright. But when you're using your PC at night with the lights turned off, doesn't the screen seem a bit too bright? It puts strain on your eyes, and in the worst case scenario, can also harm your eyesight. Furthermore, when you're surfing the web or doing some writing stuff on MS Word or writing an important email to your boss, you don't want to keep the brightness level to the full. Whether you know it or not, more brightness also squeezes out more electricity, thus hefty bills to be paid at the end of the month. Although, you can change brightness level from within your LCD's OSD, with iBrightness, a brightness control tool for Windows, you'd keep monitor power and display brightness controls at your fingertips. Whilst you can change the screen brightness from native display options available in Control Panel, iBrightness provides you a unified interface to change brightness. What's more, it also enables to turn off monitor and activate desktop screensaver. More details after the break.
There is not much to talk about the interface, as the application has pretty fair amount of scarcity here. After installation, the application quietly runs in system tray, not disturbing your in whatever you'd doing. Right-click provides access to to its context menu which contains iBrightness (to change brightness), Turn Off Monitor, Screen Saver, Change Screen Saver and Auto Start options.
To change screen brightness, all you need to do is click its system stray icon to access the iBrightness console. Move the slider left and right to decrease or increase the brightness, respectively. It's worth mention here that the incremental difference it provides is quite noticeable. You can keep the brightness between 0 to 100 percent. This miniscule console also gives you direct access to Screen Saver.
As mentioned earlier, other than enabling you to change screen brightness, iBrightness also provides options to turn off monitor, activate screensaver and change the screensaver. Select Auto Start if you want the application to run on Windows start up. iBrightness works on Windows Vista and Windows 7. Testing was carried out on Windows 7.

You've probably heard of Retin-A over the years, especially if you have been on the look out for something to reduce signs of aging, such as loss of elasticity and wrinkles. When you walk down the aisles of your typical drug store or shopping mall you are bombarded with so many products, ingredients and empty promises, it's impossible to make an informed decision. We are left scratching our heads. So what really works?
There is only one product with crystal clear demonstration of working on a molecular level, Retin-A. What is so specials about this product and what makes it so much better than the countless other products? We are talking about a prescription, that alone sets it apart from it's superficial competitors; superficial meaning these other products only penetrate the surface of the skin, leaving them powerless to combat wrinkles.
Where do I find this Retin-A?
Retin-A comes in different formulations and under different names like Retin-A Micro, Renova, Avage, Tazorac and Tretinoin. Here at Simply You Medical Spa we carry Obagi Tretinoin 0.05% and 0.1% as well as Renova 0.2%. The great thing about Renova is that it can be used around the eyes to treat the infamous crow's feet (you know, where time has marched across your face). No eye cream is comparable to Renova from an evidence based standpoint.
You'll find Retin-A products in plastic surgeons offices, dermatologist offices and medical spas around the world. You won't find it in the trunk of any traveling salesman's car or novice business woman. Only physician supervised medical establishments will carry a product with this level of efficacy.
Prescription Retin-A first became popular over 20 years ago as an acne treatment. But doctors and patients soon noticed another benefit, one with enormous impact on those who were looking for a way to keep skin vibrant and smooth. Patients reported improvements in skin texture, including diminished wrinkles and brown spots. In 1988, Dr. Voorhees and his colleagues at Michigan published the first double-blind study of Retin-A's effect on photo-damaged skin and found that all 30 patients who completed the 16-week study showed statistically significant improvement. Many studies have been done over the years proving this product works to remodel the skin on a cellular level.
The mechanism behind the medicine
Retin-A, generically known as retinoic acid or tretinoin, is derived from Vitamin A. Retinol, a less potent form of Retin-A, not to be confused with prescription strength formulations.
Skin cells contain retinoid receptors that help regulate how the cell functions. As people age, their cells behave more erratically. But consistent use of Retin-A helps normalize the cells. Retin-A improves skin texture and fades dark spots and freckles because it causes skin cells to turn over more rapidly. It shrinks dilated pores and improves cell turnover within the pores so they are less likely to clog and become blackheads and whiteheads. But what has earned Retin-A its long-held reputation is its ability to affect the retention of collagen. Collagen is what gives skin its structure, firmness and elasticity. Repeated sun exposure breaks down collagen and, with age, cells produce less and less collagen to repair the damage. Skin wrinkles, sages and loses fullness. Retin-A does double duty in helping to boost collagen. According to research at Michigan, it has the potential to stop photo-aging before it starts. The retinoids prevent the rise of collagenase after UV exposure. Regular use of a retinoid product also increases the amount of new collagen formed, research has found, and that new collagen will last for years.
Why isn't everyone using it?
Many dermatologists blame a lack of patient education. People use Retin-A too much, use it too often, experience negative side effects and then give up on it too soon, doctors say. The problem with Retin-A is that it may actually make skin look worse - with redness, flakiness and peeling - for up to eight weeks. But by 24 weeks, patients will see dramatic, marked improvements.
Manufacturers have come up with ways to make it more tolerable, less irritating and more effective. Brand-name prescription versions contain emollient moisturizers and have more-advanced systems for getting the active ingredient into the skin. These additions are the main difference between generic Retin-A and the pricier name-brand versions (a large tube of a name brand can run over $200 versus about $80 for generic).
Usage Recommendations
Doctors generally recommend using no more than a pea-size amount for the entire face. They advise using the product once every three nights (or once a week if skin feels irritated) for a couple of weeks, then every other night, eventually working up to every night if the skin can handle it.
Retin-A is not recommended for pregnant women. Apply 20 minutes after skin is cleansed and dry. Avoid lips and directly under eyes. Avoid UV ray exposure; use SPF 50 broadband daily. Exposure to UV light (including from sunlamps) increases intensity of inflammatory reaction. Concomitant topical medications such as abrasive soaps, cleansers, or cosmetics with strong drying effects may cause increased skin irritation. Use extreme caution in eczema.
What do we carry here at Simply You?
Obagi Tretinoin 0.05% (for dryer skin types)
Obagi Tretinoin 0.1% (for oily skin types)
Renova 0.02% (for around the eyes)

Audiovisual Products
Since the 1990s, China has been a global hub for the production of media devices such as CDs and DVDs. While a number of regulations have been put in place to control the production and distribution of audiovisual products, the recent shift to online distribution and downloading has led to a regulatory regime which is often difficult to apply to the current environment. Moreover, while private investment has grown considerably in this industry in the recent decades, foreign investment remains tightly controlled. This guide covers various issues involved in the production, import and distribution of audiovisual products, as well as piracy in both traditional and online formats.

A Rainy Day Record
Loyle Carner's (Ben Coyle-Larner) debut is a sensitive and solemn look at his life, narrated with warts and all, over jazz infused guitar riffs. A welcome contrast from the slurring 'drank' infused, Future-istic mumble (c)rap from across the pond, and cut from a different cloth as the High Focus Record's roster on home turf, what we see here is a man forging his own path on a crowded platform. The honesty and intimacy of the album as a whole is what places Carner in a field of his own. He tells a tale of a boy struggling to deal with the loss of his stepfather and his absent father. "Yesterday's Gone" appears to be an emotional release for Carner, reflecting on a life spent as a disciple of the old school, binging on Dilla beats and A Tribe Called Quest.
Carner starts us off with the impressive "Isle of Arran", serving up a portion of grief and family turmoil, his teary voice and flow sit heavy with emotion and nostalgia. This is backed up by a stunning gospel sample from S.C.I. Youth Choir's 'The Lord Will Make My Way'. While it is the same sample used on Dr.Dre's 2015 'It's All On Me' (the production is similar enough to blur the line between inspiration and imitation) it fits this poignant and striking opener perfectly. This ambitious start to the album certainly sets the melancholic tone for much of "Yesterday's Gone". Another highlight is "Damselfy", produced and featuring Carner's close friend Tom Misch – whose jazz influenced riffs sit melodically on the baseline with Misch owning the hook at just the right pitch to keep the track together. We could easily be getting "dizzy off that Jay Dee" with Dilla style beats comfortably accompanying Carner's flow.
Bath time with Ben is always a ball
"Ain't Nothing Changed" is one of the stand out singles of the album, an understated tale harking back to Carner's days of student loans and "sittin in the student home". The smooth sax-filled track was released some time ago and is nothing new to our ears but remains a highlight of the album nonetheless. A change in gear comes with "Stars and Shards", which delivers a saga of drugs and dealing but stripped of all the theatrics of hip-hop's normal glamorizations. It paints a bleak picture, once again backed up by Carner's intricate flow and a bold guitar riff backing him up. Unfortunately for long-time fans, we had heard all these big hitters before in the form of singles, which is a shame – but as a debut album, it is clear the album is attempting to gain fans, rather than please existing ones.
Of the new stuff on the record there was still much to be enjoyed. "No Worries" is a definite stand out of these, with Kleff's eclectic production at its best accompanied by a less inspiring verse by rapper Jehst who fails to match the skilled lyricism of his host. The gloomy theme of "Yesterday's Gone" is re-enforced in "Seamstress" where Carner paints a self-portait of an old soul "sinkin a lot of whiskey" and talking of his "drinking problem". Another downbeat, but impressive, backing track is used from Rebel Kleff to accompany this personal tale of reflection. As we turn the corner on the album for the final straight, 'Mrs C' is a late highlight. Another vulnerable track about loss, for his girlfriend, who's mother was ill with cancer. The most stripped back of the album, centrally it has bongo drums hammering in the background with gentle piano and trumpets accompanying. It feels like another deeply personal and emotional tribute from Carner, re-establishing this album as one for sentimental reflections on a rainy afternoon. Starting a Hip-Hop track with "we just supported Nas" in most cases would lead us down a route of inflated ego's and grandstanding, but in "Sun of Jean" we are given the opposite. A backing track of mournful piano recorded from his late stepfather and a poem of spoken word from his mother. This family tribute ends the record leaving us filled with nostalgia and longing. Skits are nothing new to Hip-Hop, but being called "you shmoo" by your mother on your debut in "Swear" is a break apart from the gunshots and violence in the skits of yesteryear. In Rebel 101, Carner is told to "eat bad food, party" by Rebel Kleff in another amusing skit recorded on his phone. These interludes that develop over the course of the record forge a further closeness between Carner and the listener - he certainly tops the list of rappers I want to get a pint with.
While I would like to rave endlessly about how much I enjoy this record, it isn't completely solid. The tempo changes somewhat when we are thrust in to an alt-rock backing track and Carner's forceful lyrics in "NO CD". Another tribute to his heroes: "got some old Jay Z's, couple ODBs" is repeated throughout the track, this time supported with an overloaded bassline without the old school beats to help out, which means the track fails to capture the charm of the rest of the album. Although it is a weaker track of the record, it portrays the dexterity of both Kleff and Carner to adapting to new forms. The laid-back "Mean It In The Morning" tells a downbeat tale of Carner's romantic woes with another unconvincing backing track. The jury is out on whether this track is worthy of the album, or whether it was put in to bulk out the slim tracklist. The main frustration of the album for most fans is the lack of new material on the record, but leaving us wanting more is never too bad a thing.
Despite the lack of fresh material and a couple of weaker tracks, this jazz-infused collection of personal tales and ingenious rhymes is a real triumph from Carner. A truly refreshing break from the self-promoting show-biz rap which is clogging up the Hip-Hop scene across the pond. There is definitely a feeling in the air that this is only the beginning for Loyle Carner and the 22 year old from Croydon could easily go all the way to the top.

Fitting Room Chit Chat...
I was in the mall (in and of itself a rarity for me) and missed the 9 PM big box store close deadline. See? I don't know how to work the mall. Those of you who have the location of every store memorized? I don't understand y'all.
However, ask me where to find a specialty fabric or random crafting item in Jo-Ann's and I can mentally walk the aisles and tell you right where to find it. You know, utilizing my completely accurate photographic memory.
Trying on clothes and trying not to eavesdrop on other customers' conversations is...well...impossible.
Hello echo.
First up was a tween who claimed that in California, life is perfect. Apparently Washington is the place to move to if you want to ruin your life. Good to know.
Next up was the girl who claimed that she needed some serious hootchie mama improvements. OK, lovely.
And the last was, "I look like a prostitute! YAY!"
Uh huh. Right.
Methinks the next time I go solo shopping I'll be wearing headphones...

That is better then what I got at JC Penney one time... I was trying on something in one stall and there is a woman in another stall doing the same. All of a sudden I start hearing something that sounds like someone pouring liquid onto the carpet. Soon after the noise stopped the lady left the stall and when I came out I looked to see what it may have been(cause I am nosey and all). The woman had PEED ON THE FLOOR of the dressing room. PEED! A GROWN WOMAN! Even worse than that, she used the clothes she was trying on to try to cover it up! I immediately went to the nearest employee and told her what had happened and she looked at me like I had just told her that.... Well.... Someone had peed on the floor of a dressing room.ReplyDelete
I'll take random teen chitchat over that ANYDAY.
oh. my. gosh. "hootchie mama" and "improvements" are complete opposites!!ReplyDelete

The Police Department, with the largest municipal counterterrorism operation in the country, wants the Justice Department and the
Under the law, the government must in most cases obtain a warrant from the special Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court before it can begin electronic monitoring of people suspected of spying or terrorism. The requests are subjected to sharp scrutiny, first by lawyers at the F.B.I., then by lawyers at the Justice Department, and finally by the court itself.
New York's department, as a local police force, cannot apply directly, but must seek warrants through the F.B.I. and the Justice Department. The police want those agencies to expedite their requests, and say that the federal agencies unfairly blocked the city's applications for surveillance warrants, first in June and then in September. The disagreement, in which the Bush Justice Department has taken a more cautious approach than police officials, is something of an unexpected twist for an administration that has more often seemed willing to stretch legal boundaries to fight terrorism.
The dispute has played out since midsummer in a highly unusual exchange of letters between
While the letters do not specifically identify the target of the eavesdropping requests, Mr. Mukasey said that the Police Department had sought authority in one of them to eavesdrop on "numerous communications facilities" without providing an adequate basis for their requests. Some officials who have been briefed on the cases said the requests, from the police Intelligence Division, were unusually broad, and included telephones in public places, like train or subway stations, rather than phones used by a specific individual.
Even in the best of times, the police and the F.B.I.'s New York office can be quarrelsome partners, and current and former officials say the dispute between the two — which share overlapping responsibilities for security in New York — has brought the relationship to a new low.
The inability of the Justice Department to resolve the conflict may mean that the matter ends up in the hands of
In his five-page letter on Oct. 27, Mr. Kelly wrote to Mr. Mukasey charging that the F.B.I. and Justice Department had thwarted the Police Department's intelligence efforts in two specific cases. He wrote that federal authorities were "constraining" critical terrorism investigations in New York and said the federal government "is doing less than it is lawfully entitled to protect
Mr. Mukasey, in a seven-page retort, dated Oct. 31, dismissed what he called Mr. Kelly's "alarming conclusions" as factually incorrect. Mr. Mukasey wrote that Mr. Kelly was in effect proposing that the Justice Department and the F.B.I. disregard the law, as spelled out in the
"Not only would your approach violate the law, it would also in short order make New York City and the rest of the country less safe," wrote Mr. Mukasey, a federal judge in
In a statement, the Police Department's deputy commissioner for legal matters, S. Andrew Schaffer, who has advised Mr. Kelly on the matter, said that Mr. Mukasey's contention that Mr. Kelly had proposed an illegal course of conduct was "preposterous and categorically untrue."
"We have asserted," the statement continued, "based on actual cases, that FISA warrants were not sought in a timely manner in part because of a self-imposed standard of probable cause which is higher than that required by
On Wednesday evening, the Justice Department issued a statement confirming the exchange of letters "regarding an issue of mutual concern." The statement said that the two agencies continued to work together effectively and that the Justice Department had taken several steps to improve coordination.
Indeed, a police official said that what he characterized as "this spirited exchange of letters" resulted in "an expediting of the FISA process — in other words, from the Police Department's view, the desired result."
The contents of the letters were made known to The
The police Intelligence Division makes its requests for eavesdropping warrants through the New York Joint Terrorism Task Force, a unit in which F.B.I. agents, police detectives and investigators from other agencies work together. The Intelligence Division and the task force work independently of each other, a situation that has been at the heart of the worsening relationship.
Mr. Mukasey said in his letter that he had personally investigated two cases Mr. Kelly had said were behind his complaints and wrote that he had been "unable to have a meaningful conversation" with the commissioner when the two discussed the issue in a July 25 telephone call because "you were not versed on the facts."
An independent effort to investigate the dispute was undertaken in recent months by the president's Intelligence Advisory Board, a panel of high-level business executives, former intelligence and foreign policy experts appointed by President Bush.
The board's review concluded that both local and federal officials were sometimes confused about important aspects of the law and recommended more training and better coordination.
The clash comes at a potentially significant moment for Mr. Kelly. Some officials suggested the letter was a way for Mr. Kelly to announce his availability for a high-level job in the Obama administration, possibly secretary of homeland security. His name has circulated as a possible candidate, but associates have denied that Mr. Kelly is seeking a job in Washington, although they have been unwilling to say he would decline to take one.
The forceful response from Mr. Mukasey, a well-regarded jurist brought to Washington last year to restore credibility and ballast to the Bush administration's beleaguered Justice Department, was more remarkable coming from an official known for his bland public pronouncements and keeping a low profile. In the 1990s, as a federal judge, Mr. Mukasey presided over the longest and most complex terrorism trial ever presented in a
In his letter, Mr. Kelly said that the Police Department's efforts to use the national security law had been tangled in bureaucratic confusion. "On September 15, for instance," he wrote, "the most senior F.B.I. officials in New York informed
But in his letter, Mr. Mukasey blamed the Police Department for delays. "For example, in one of the cases you cite in your letter, the N.Y.P.D. failed to disclose relevant information about investigative steps it had taken in connection with a terrorism suspect. This failure delayed our ability to seek FISA coverage from the court."
Mr. Kelly complained that Justice Department lawyers imposed a needlessly high standard to be certain that every surveillance application submitted to the court would be approved. "Intelligence collection operations against potential terrorist threats to the homeland often involve considerable uncertainty," he wrote. "D.O.J. should not hesitate to present judges with close cases. Some requests for warrants will inevitably be denied."
But Mr. Mukasey said that submitting such cases to the court would be a mistake. "The less the FISA court comes to trust the validity of the applications, the more inclined the judges will be to impose on all applications the kind of scrutiny that doubtful applications merit, which of course takes more time and causes more delay because the court's resources are limited," he said. "The greater the delay, the fewer the applications can be processed and granted within a given time. The fewer successful FISA applications, the less intelligence can be gathered. The less intelligence gathered, the greater the danger to all Americans, including New Yorkers. That is not a complex formula."
Nearly 150 Police Department detectives work with a like number of F.B.I. agents and roughly 100 others from nearly four dozen other federal, state and local law enforcement agencies on the Joint Terrorism Task Force, several officials said. At the same time, the Police Department's Intelligence Division has several hundred other detectives working separately, running a sweeping network of informants and collecting a mass of intelligence aimed at forestalling another attack in New York.
The Intelligence Division is run by David Cohen, a former top
Tensions between the task force and the Intelligence Division detectives, according to a number of investigators and officials in both agencies, have become intense and in some instances, of significant concern. The detectives have sought to infiltrate some of the same groups singled out by the task force and collect information in some of the same mosques, bookstores and other locations without notifying the task force, the investigators and officials said.
At the same time, morale on the task force, where few agents have more than five years' experience, and supervisors not much more, is extremely low, officials said. Many rookie and veteran agents are loath to work on its squads because of excessive red tape and what they view as few opportunities for advancement, investigators and officials said.
The Intelligence Division under Mr. Cohen has come under criticism in the past for its surveillance activity and has been mired in litigation over its extensive undercover investigation of political groups before the 2004

Breaking New Ground
The Chemical and Biological Engineering Department at Colorado School of Mines has a comprehensive research program and counts among its faculty seven NSF CAREER Award winners and one PECASE Award winner. Research in the department is supported by federal and state agencies, industry and private foundations.
CBE faculty have strong ties with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (Sumit Agarwal, Andrew Herring, Colin Wolden, J. Douglas Way), located just 10 minutes from Mines, as well as other regional federal laboratories involved in energy research and development. The Colorado Fuel Cell Center (Anthony Dean, Herring) is dedicated to improving the efficiency of chemical energy conversion, as well as adapting fuel cell technology for compatibility with emerging biofuels.
The department houses the world's foremost center dedicated to understanding the critical role of hydrates in energy production as well as their potential for energy storage and CO2 sequestration (Carolyn Koh, Amadeu Sum). The department also hosts the Colorado Institute for Energy, Materials and Computational Science (CIEMACS), which focuses on problems at the nexus of energy, materials and scientific computing. Another core strength of the department is in the applications of membranes and catalysis to carbon capture (Jennifer Wilcox), fuel cells (Herring), hydrogen purification (Way), as well as the design and synthesis of novel materials (Moises Carreon, Diego Gomez-Gualdron) for these applications.
Faculty with expertise in bioengineering (Nanette Boyle, Kevin Cash, Melissa Krebs, David Marr, Keith Neeves) have research programs in biosensors, drug delivery, tissue engineering, lab-on-a-chip devices,and metabolic engineering. Much of this research is done in collaboration with regional medical institutions such as the Children's Hospital of Colorado. The Mines Polymers and Complex Fluids (MPAC) group includes members of CBE (Marr, Neeves, Joseph Samaniuk, Ning Wu) and the Chemistry Department who focus on fundamental and applied research in soft matter.
Students, at both the undergraduate and graduate level, are essential members of the department's research groups. More details on specific research projects may be found on individual faculty pages.

Solomon: Cushing more likely to be innocent than Braun
As I mentioned on Twitter just after Brewers' star Ryan Braun was "cleared," I am surprised that so many really wanted to believe he was innocent of doping, but so few wanted to believe Brian Cushing.
What I have heard from the few baseball players I have talked to about Braun being innocent is the same as I got from football player about Cushing being innocent, "Please."
Braun described himself as a "victim of the process." Seriously?
When it comes to the NL MVP's drug test, the agreed to procedures were not followed.
Had I been the arbitrator deciding his case, I might have upheld his appeal based on that fact, too. But for Braun to say he has been vindicated is ridiculous.
It is more like that Cushing was pregnant, which would have been a legitimate explanation for his having too much hCG in his system, than Braun was not taking some form of synthetic testosterone.
Remember how Cushing's people tried to spin the story that he "barely" failed the drug test? (Insert your own "barely pregnant" joke here.)
Braun couldn't use that defense since there are reports that tests on Braun's urine showed he had 20 times the amount of testosterone in his body than normal.
Instead, Braun got lucky that his sample wasn't shipped immediately.
He had no scientific defense for his failed test. He didn't argue that his sample was tampered with or that the sample wasn't his.
His threats to submit to DNA testing to prove the sample wasn't his were as meaningless as Cushing's claim that some as yet indentified doctors believe overtrained athlete syndrome was the reason for his failed test. Yeah, right.
Travis Tygart, the CEO of the United States Anti-Doping Agency, was incredulous when I talked to him about Cushing's situation, but he said he looked forward to the doctors coming forward with their groundbreaking research.
He isn't waiting for Braun to make a scientific case, because Braun doesn't have one. The delay in submitting the sample was Braun's only defense. His loophole.
Tygart told the New York Times that the 48-hour delay with the sample stored in a dark cool place could not and did not create a false positive.
"To say it degraded and created synthetic testosterone is contrary to logic and science," Tygart said.
So Braun has some nerve to claim that "at the end of the day the truth prevailed."
Truth? It is more likely that people believe a lie about Cushing.

Rick Lazio wants to make sure the so-called "Ground Zero mosque" stays on the radar this election season.
Lazio, the GOP gubernatorial candidate, has been attacking his opponent Attorney General Andrew Cuomo for his unwillingness to investigate the funding for the proposed Islamic center near Ground Zero.
Now, Lazio has a controversial ad demanding that Cuomo do some digging to find out where the money's coming from.
But Lazio's ploy may have backfired, as both the Uniformed Fire Officers Association and the Sergeants Benevolent Association have criticized the ad, saying its images upset the families of 9/11 victims.

What's New
I think Microsoft may have been testing some new spam filters the last few weeks, unfortunately it looks like the filters were too strict. E-mails do not reach the Inbox, or even the Junk folder at all, even if the address is already in the Contacts and/or SafeList (ie some incoming e-mails just get "lost in transit"). Anyway, it seems to be back to normal now (at least the past 2 days or so), so I already removed the Hotmail/MSN registration restrictions.

The World's Local Polish Bank ... HSBC
I have no problem with other Europeans coming to work and live in the UK. I do insist that they have good enough English to get by. If that is the case, then why does the main HSBC in Edinburgh (actually Scotland) insist on putting two signs outside during redevelopment, one in English and one in Polish? I've even noticed signs inside banks now just in Polish. Even though all Poles that I've met have great English, why encourage them to take the easy way out and read Polish? That's not going to help them read better English is it? Quite baffling...

8 Ways To Achieve An Orgasmic Diet Naturally
Did you know there's a path to greater sexual satisfaction, and it begins with healthy nutrition and fitness? Discover how to use your sex muscle and learn how to eat orgasm-boosting foods to increase libido, speed orgasm, and increase erectile rigidity. A daily exercise routine, along with a diet that includes foods rich in libido-boosting qualities, will help you to stay at the peak of your sexual abilities. Here's how:
1. Kegel Exercises
Kegel exercises can help strengthen your pelvic muscles, combat incontinence, and make sex more enjoyable. Your pelvic floor muscles give you better orgasmic control, and can mean the difference between a so-so orgasm and a toe-curling experience.
There are two types of contractions:
Slow contractions: Contract and lift your pelvic floor muscles for a count of 10, then relax your pelvic floor muscles for 10 seconds and repeat the contraction/relaxation 10 times.
Fast contractions: These faster contractions will help your pelvic floor to cope with unexpected pressures, like when you sneeze, laugh, or cough. Lift your pelvic floor muscles quickly and hold for one second, then relax for one second and repeat the contraction/relaxation ten times.
2. Breathing (Yoga or Tantra)
When doing pelvic floor exercises, correct breathing techniques similar to yoga are essential so that sexual energy is carried throughout the body. The deeper the breath, the stronger the orgasm. To practice, stand naked in front of a mirror and take some deep breaths in and out. When you inhale, expand your stomach without allowing your shoulders or chest to move upwards. As you exhale, breathe out through the mouth and gently draw the belly button towards the spine – you should feel a contraction from the inside.
3. Arginine
According to the book Great Food, Great Sex: The Three Food Factors for Sexual Fitness, the secret to great sex lies in foods rich in this amino acid. Arginine is found in whole grains, granola, peanuts, oatmeal, cashews, pecans, coconut, seaweed, seeds, chickpeas, watermelon, lentils, and spinach. This amino acid helps with nitric oxide production, which increases blood flow throughout your body and genital area. Protein such as meat, fish, eggs, and nuts are all great sources of this love concoction.
4. Omega-3s
Marrena Lindberg, author of The Orgasmic Diet, claims that men and women who strictly follow the full regimen of daily supplements and dietary changes will see improved libido in one to six weeks. Omega-3s are said to help your nervous system function more efficiently, which makes it an important addition to a sex diet. Omega-3s are primarily found in oily fish such as mackerel, salmon, and sardines. Alternatively, you can take fish oil supplements.
5. Maca
It's known as Peruvian ginseng, and is a superfood used to increase sexual desire, hormonal balance, and fertility in both men and women. It grows high in the Andes Mountains in Peru and has been used for thousands of years. Maca is great for the sex life because it contains high levels of minerals, enzymes and all the essential amino acids, which are essential for libido.
6. Seratonin
This is a head hormone that keeps you alert, energized, and helps you to handle stress. High serotonin levels in your body will decrease desire, but if they're too low they can lead to depression. Keep your serotonin levels healthy by avoiding foods such as coffee, soy, fizzy drinks, and by eating a balanced amount of complex carbs and healthy proteins such as potatoes, lentils, and nuts.
7. Dopamine
A sexy feel-good hormone. The really great news is that chocolate is associated with dopamine release. A study of women in The Journal of Sexual Medicine found that those who consumed at least one cube of chocolate daily reported significantly greater desire and better overall sexual function than those who did not.
8. Catuaba
A Brazilian herb that is known as the "tree of love," catuaba is known all over the world as the Brazilian Viagra without the harmful side effects. The bark contains substances that may act as a natural aphrodisiac within five to 21 days of taking extracts.

These fibers are cut, dried, and treated to produce twine that can then be woven into rugs. There are many possibilities in terms of the weave pattern, and the photo above is just one example. Just like hemp and coir, sisal provides durability that most manmade materials can't match. Because of its durability, sisal doesn't show the wear patterns common in wall-to-wall carpeting.
Pros of Sisal Carpet
- It's naturally stain-resistant, so it doesn't require any chemical treatments that may be harmful to children and pets.
- It repels dust and static electricity.
- It absorbs sound better than other carpeting material.
- It's naturally flame-resistant.
- It can be combined with other natural fibers such as wool or sea grass.
Cons of Sisal Carpet
- Sisal does not do well with moisture and should be avoided in a mudroom or bathroom.
- It may feel rough underfoot compared to traditional carpet materials, so it may not be best to sit or lie on for prolonged periods.
- Can be prone to color fading especially with prolonged exposure to the sun.

Jets strength coach Sal Alosi apologizes for tripping Nolan Carroll; NFL to investigate
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Jets head strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi has sent out a statement apologizing for tripping Dolphins cornerback Nolan Carroll on a punt late in the third quarter of Sunday's game.
"I made a mistake that showed a total lapse in judgment," Alosi said in a statement. "My conduct was inexcusable and unsportsmanlike and does not reflect what this organization stands for. I spoke to Coach (Tony) Sparano and Nolan Carroll to apologize before they took off. I have also apologized to Woody (Johnson), Mike (Tannenbaum) and Rex (Ryan). I accept responsibility for my actions as well as any punishment that follows."
The Jets released a statement that the team is reviewing the situation and looking into a course of action. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello also said the league will review the play on Monday and throughout the week.
Carroll was injured on the play, which occurred with 3:11 left in the third quarter, but suffered only a charlie horse on his right thigh and returned to the game. None of the players on either team, including Carroll, initially knew what happened, and the play had little impact on the Dolphins' 10-6 win.
"I remember I split the double team, and then after that I couldn't tell you what happened," Carroll said.
But the members of the Dolphins coaching staff watching the game from the press box certainly saw what happened. CBS cameras zoomed in on the hit and replayed it several times. Alosi appeared to purposely stick out his knee to trip up Carroll as he flew down the Jets' sideline to cover the punt.
"I know my guys were screaming up in the booth," Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said. "Obviously I'm going to send it in (to the NFL office for review). I don't know what else can be done, but there was a player down on the sideline … and that bothers me."
Alosi, 33, is in his fourth season as the Jets' head strength and conditioning coach, and eighth with the organization. Jets rookie John Conner, a key special teams contributor, said Alosi is a "straight business type of guy" who is always on the players to be on time to meetings and appointments. Conner also said it was ironic that Alosi would do such an act.
"His job on the sidelines is to make sure everybody is back, so it's kind of surprising that he got blamed for that," Conner said.
Carroll, a rookie fifth-round pick from Maryland who made his first NFL interception earlier in the game, did not seem too bothered to hear that it was a coach who had purposely tripped him.
"Water off a duck's back," said Carroll, whose mother, Jennifer, was recently voted as Florida's new Lt. Governor. "if that's how they want to play, that's how they want to play. We got the 'W.'"
"If he gets fined, give me the money," Carroll joked.
But his teammates were livid when they were shown a still photo of the play in the locker room.
"He should be ashamed of himself," linebacker Channing Crowder said. "A grown man? From the coaching staff? That's high character."
"I wish they'd tripped me. I'd have broken that old man's leg."
Karlos Dansby grabbed a reporter's iPhone with the photo and stuck it in front of several TV cameras, urging commissioner Roger Goodell to take action.
"Goodell — c'mon man. Goodell, handle this," Dansby said while looking into the TV cameras. "Suspend him, man. Get him up out of there, man. He got to go, man. He's bringing the whole organization down."
"If that's what they got to do to try to be successful, I think that's awful, to tell you the truth," safety Reshad Jones said.
"If that's what's happening, that's sad, because this is the NFL, you don't expect that," safety Tyrone Culver said. "But the film doesn't lie, and whatever happens I'm sure the NFL will take care of it."
Alosi was standing just behind the white out-of-bounds line when he made contact with Carroll. Sparano said the officiating crew emphasized to him during the game to move his players back off the sideline.
"The only thing I know is the official on our sideline came over and asked me twice who my get-back guy was, so that we could be outside the white (line)," he said.

The Nowhere Band
The Nowhere Band is a Florida-based band utilizing vintage, historically accurate equipment to flawlessly recreate the Beatles' most iconic performances. Setting them apart from the competition is their eye for detail and obsession with accuracy. Featuring not only the stellar performers profiled below, The Nowhere Band casts a spotlight on history, their shows star a menagerie of museum quality instruments: over twenty guitars, seven drum sets, a '69 Fender Rhodes, a '69 Hammond C-3, a '68 Fender Bassman, a Vox T100, Fender Twins, and Vox Ac30's. What this exhaustive collection means for the fan is a stunningly accurate live recreation of the Beatles' final rooftop performance over Apple Studios (a feet the band reenacted 50 years later with all requisite instruments and set lists), a painstakingly researched set dedicated to the Beatles' February 9th, 1964 Sullivan Show performance-- complete with a fully-costumed Sullivan impersonator-- and another moment in history our band relived with fans, on another Sunday night exactly fifty years later, to the hour.
But where The Nowhere Band truly raises the bar is in their capacity to play songs live The Beatles never were; our shows include real-time performances of studio cuts, a bit of music magic achieved through their keyboard player (putting them in a very select league), who brings all the orchestral effects and musical flourishes to vibrant life. As a result, their roster of material sits at over a hundred songs, a list they are constantly expanding.
With a reputation for sellouts at most venues and cultivating a strong following in the Southeast, The Nowhere Band has seen no personnel changes since its creation; all their performers share a great respect for one another and look forward to every chance they have to perform the greatest music every written.

Blog: Sean Maguire guest Nicola Nic Éil. Tune in @ Midday Irish time Tuesday 03/02/2015Read Now
My Guest on this week's MIDDAY show is Nicola Nic Éil who will be sharing with us her plans for a new "market" in Galway City.
The event is listed on Facebook as "Galway nterz Aquarius Funk Market" . All the details can be found there. I have invited Nicola on to the show to tell us more about her initiative. Why she feels it is needed and her hopes for the market's growth in a VERY creative city, with many people looking for an outlet to raise a bit of money as well as promoting their various "arts" etc. The first event is on Sunday 8th February at Club Arus na nGael, kicking off at 12.30 until 6pm.
I think this is an initiative that needs to be shared and look forward to chatting to Nicola, playing a few tunes and hopefully inspiring others in other towns and cities across Ireland to do similar.
As a performing and self published poet, I see this as a great move to connect with likeminded people across county Galway.
Tune in at MIDDAY Tuesday 2nd of February on www.peoplesinternetradio.com
My OUT OF THE BAG show this Wednesday will be at it's usual time of 9pm until midnight, with TWO great guests and VOX POPS from the PEACEFUL GATHERING about water charges, etc. ....again on Peoples Internet Radio.

When you begin to plan a remodeling project for the home or you want to change the way that the home looks, consider getting the advice of a luxury interior designer. This is someone who can give you tips and ideas on what can be added to make the home look elegant while increasing the value of the home as well.
If you have a fireplace, consider adding stone that has a light color around it so that the stone brings out the beauty of the fire as it roars in the living room. You can continue adding stone up the chimney so that there is a uniform appearance.
Transform a living room or den to an elegant study. Add a wooden staircase to the upper levels of the home or a large bookcase that takes up one wall. Consider using shelves that are spaced apart to make the case look grander than a traditional bookcase. Include a wooden desk in the room with a beautiful lamp and a comfortable armchair to have a complete study where you can relax and enjoy a good book at the end of the day.
If you have the space in the home, add a few columns. This will give a beautiful look to almost any room and make it seem larger. A piano off to one side and a large area rug are accessories that go well with columns. Another option is to add a modern staircase that is designed with light colors and a stone bed underneath the steps. The stones should be placed in a large box that is coated with pebbles of light colors. You can add a few flowers or small lights to the bed to give an elegant look, especially in the evening.
When you're in the kitchen, you might not have the storage space that you want. Add cabinets that pull open and reveal a sliding drawer instead of the traditional cabinets that only have one or two shelves. The wooden accents and horizontal handles will create a comforting touch in the room while exuding a bit of luxury as well.

Ennis preparations for August's Fleadh
Ḿicheál Ó Riabhaigh is quite excited about the Fleadh Cheoil's return to Ennis, Co. Clare this year
This year County Clare will host Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in the town of Ennis for the second year in a row. Without doubt, Clare is a special county when it comes to traditional music and hundreds of thousands of visitors will flock to the town in August for the greatest festival of traditional music in the world.
Co. Clare is also a unique and beautiful place to visit, with stunning scenery and rugged landscapes that draw you back to nature in a mystical and spiritual way. From the Burren National Park in North Clare to the majestic Cliffs of Moher and further south to Loop Head, it is easy to appreciate why the value of traditions and the sense of place are so valued in Clare.+5
There is another Fleadh that has taken place in Ennis each year since 1974. It is of course the Fleadh Nua and has attracted enormous numbers of musicians and visitors from all over the world. It is a Fleadh of performance and participation, a gathering of friends that is very welcoming. It embodies the core values of the founders of Comhaltas in 1951, whose greatest desire was that traditional music would be enjoyed and shared as a truly vibrant art form.
This year, as always, Fleadh Nua has something for everyone – more than 120 different events over 9 days, including 4 evening concerts, a series of free lunchtime concerts, Singing Sessions with special guests, pub session trail, céilís, CD launches and much more.
Why not take the opportunity to visit Clare for Fleadh Nua from 21st to 29th May and experience the combination of a rich cultural tradition and the great natural beauty of the region.
Visit the towns and villages that are legendary in the world of traditional music – Kilfenora, Tulla, Miltown Malbay, Ennistymon and Doolin to name but a few and travel on the Wild Atlantic Way.
• Full details are available on www.fleadhnua.com or follow on Facebook or Twitter

Political Wisdom: AIG News is Bad for Democrats
The news that AIG executives are still getting millions in bonuses pretty much has Americans furious this Monday morning. Not only is this bad news for President Barack Obama, it's also a precarious situation for the whole Democratic Party, NBC's First Read crew writes. "The populist rage also might present a bigger challenge to the political party that's more associated with big business, less regulation, and tax cuts for the wealthy. In fact, if there was a time for the Obama administration and Democrats to push to let the Bush tax cuts to expire, to press for the Employee Free Choice Act (or 'card check'), or to institute new regulations, this is the time, right? Still, now's a time when everyone in Washington is suddenly going to be channeling his/her inner-populist. Who will have the most credibility doing it? As for the short term, Congress is going to want a pound of flesh (and then some) from AIG. Obama also will discuss AIG during his remarks today."
Meantime Obama and the DNC are starting up an email campaign to get the president's campaign supporters to urge their congressmen to approve Obama's budget. Washingtonpost.com's Chris Cillizza tells us why it's important. "During the 2008 campaign, Obama's greatest advantage over Arizona Sen. John McCain (R) was the broad base of volunteers and donors -- organized via the Internet -- that he could call on for just about any task and know they would deliver. Take Georgia, for example, where Obama formally scaled back his efforts in the early fall but stayed surprisingly competitive until the end thanks to an active volunteer base. How loyal is that 13 million? Early test runs provided mixed results." Plus there's the Republican reaction. "To date, congressional Republicans -- and a handful of leading governors -- haven't fared as badly as some expected in the daily message fight with the White House. Can they withstand the full force of the Obama political operation? McCain struggled mightily to effectively counter the Obama message machine when it was cranked to full power. This will be an early test of whether Republicans will unite and rally or splinter and scamper for political cover."
On health care, Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Jim Cooper, both Democrats, are pushing a plan that would bring an end to employer-provided health care. Time.com's Karen Tumulty lays out the merits. "The idea has a lot of appeal. It would give most people far greater choice than they have now, and they could take their benefits with them when they change jobs. It also provides generous subsidies for those who cannot afford to purchase health care on their own, and yet, the Congressional Budget Office has said that the proposal would be 'revenue neutral,' which means it wouldn't add to the deficit. It would include a minimum defined benefits package, with no exclusions for pre-existing conditions; that would address two problems people now encounter on the individual insurance market, where it is difficult for many to find the coverage they need at a price they can afford." So what's the down side? "Still, Wyden and Cooper's plan is considered a long shot. The political wisdom in Washington suggests that for any proposal to actually stand a chance, it would have to build on the existing employer-based system. For much the same reason, few believe that 'single payer' health care — a government-financed system similar to Medicare — will be given any serious consideration."

A fairytale story conveying all the drama of a tragic romance.
Moscow Ballet 'La Classique' was established in 1990 by its current director Elik Melikov. In this performance, the illustrious Moscow Ballet 'La Classique' with their ballet skills, lavish costumes and magnificent stage sets will capture the imagination, passion and romance of this classical ballet fairytale.
