Lenovo backing Raleigh boy's smartwatch design
Posted October 14, 2014
Updated October 30, 2014
Morrisville, N.C. — A 12-year-old from Raleigh who is trying to build a better smartwatch got some major support this week from a large technology company.
Lenovo, the world's largest personal computer maker, gave Davis Barrow $5,000 to put toward creating a prototype of his Comb720 watch.
The design of the Comb720 was inspired by Barrow's beekeeping hobby, with the watch face of seven hexagons resembling a honeycomb.
"There are only seven buttons, so you can get to an app just by tapping," he said.
Barrow's 14-year-old brother spent 100 hours writing the code for the watch.
After WRAL News aired a story about Barrow's watch idea and plan to raise $50,000 on the website Indiegogo to finance the start of production, Lenovo Chief Technology Officer Peter Hortensius got in touch with Barrow and invited him to the company's U.S. headquarters in Morrisville.
"It was really just a case of a child that I just wanted to meet," Hortensius said.
Barrow explained his concept and his business plan to several tech executives on Monday.
Hortensius was impressed.
"I wish a lot of adults could carry themselves as well as he does," he said.
Barrow said he was surprised and grateful for the meeting and the donation to his Indiegogo crowd-funding effort.
"I had a great time getting to talk to them about my product, and they donated to my Indiegogo campaign," he said.
Lenovo officials plan to keep a close eye on the project -- and on Barrow.

" Manufacturer: Multipower / Type: Energy drinks / High in protein "
my review on the multipower fit protein - yeah these things taste nice, yeah they have protein but also they are loaded with sugar! I personally would not use them, I think that the main problem with these is the calories and sugar, you are better off buying protein powder and making your own shakes. they are also extremely over priced to the point where you can pay 3-4 quid for one of these bottles, that in my opinion is not worth it in any way. the only thing they are good for is if you don't care about your diet and your calorie intake, but bodybuilding is about carefully calculating calories and macros so that's why I think they are useless. sugary carbs also are not good, get a clean carb source with a low GI. save your money and buy some meat or some protein powder in my opinion!
Multipower is a reputable suppliment company established for some years now and have a wide and varied product range in supplimnents, from ready to take drinks liek this one to protein bars and shakes.
Musclepower only stock to limited stockists like Holland and Barret and their chain GNC to name two, but they do not sell to many other mass market companies like Discount suppliments or Superfit....this means that unfortunately prices are kept high in comparison to products of the same nature as there are not allots of companies competing for business.
Nutrional information is broken down on the label in three different languages, as Musclepower stock all over Europe. Shake the bottle well before opening as it is a shake that has been sitting on a shelf and there will be sediment. Both the vanilla and chocolate ones that I tasted were very thick, im comparison to other protein shakes like Maximuscle, and had a nice sweet aftertaste again unlike other shakes like USN , their is not copper tasting, chalky aftertaste.
The protein shake comes in a brown glass bottle which looks like your sipping from a beer bottle, or ginger ale or something if your out in the open. The lid is metal aluminium and is flimsy and tough to get off if it is slightly damp. It comes in three classic shake flavours, Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla.
The protein content is pretty descent too for a shake - you get 53 grams of protein per 500 ml bottle, and although the fat level is basiscally nothing at 1.5 grams for that whole bottle, it still isnt zero grams as you get with most descent protein powders.
You can get these drinks from allot of different stockests like gyms, such as L.A fitness and Fitness First , they will probably charge slightly over the odss, but you can also buy them from good old Holland and Barrett for £3, if you get them from some online stockists and buy them in bulk , say up to 12 bottles , you can get the price down to £2.50
In conclusion, this is a great thick protein shake with high protein contant, relatively low in fat and no aftertaste, a good buy if on the little expensive side.
I drink protein every now and then after the gym to help build and recover my muscles, and I usually bring my own powder from home and mix with water at the gym after a workout. I recently forgot to bring said powder to the gym with me and I had to resort to buying one of the protein shakes the gym have in stock. The ones they have are the Multipower Fit Protein.
Multipower is a generally well known brand in the sports and fitness industry which make sports supplemtens, bars and drinks among other items. Their fit protein is their basic, ready mixed protein drink which is designed for after workout use to help rebuild and restore the muscles you have used. They come in a variety of flavours but I only had a choice between vanilla and strawberry. I opted for vanilla.
The shake comes in a generally large glass bottle, with a white, metallic screwtop lid which I found easy enough to remove. The bottle was a little difficult to hold as it is quite big, but then I suppose it is made for muscly, big handed men, not little women like me lol. There is a wraparound label on the bottle which explains what the shake does and what is in it in the way of carbohydrates, fat, protein etc.
I found the shake to be ok tasting, but not the greatest. I have come to know that most protein shakes do not have a nice taste to them, but this was not up the top of the chain. It was a bearable taste, but given the option I do not think I would drink it again. The texture of the shake is quite thick, a little bit thicker than my own mixed shake, but was still easy enough to swallow.
There is quite a lot in the bottle, and it made me a bit bloated drinking it, as I think this one is actually bigger than the usual one I drink. It sat quite heavily in my stomach and was still there, being heavy, quite a while later.
I paid £2.50 for the bottle, which is a general price for a pre made protein shake these days, but I think that is a bit too expensive and I won't be paying that for one of these again. I always make sure I have my own now as I did not like this one compared to my own brand I usually use.
Whilst this drink does have the right nutrients etc in it for muscle repair after a workout, I did not like the taste or the horribly heavy feeling it left in my stomach afterwards and I do not think I will be drinking this again. I would may be tempted to try some of their other flavours, but I believe they would all give me the same heavy stomach feelin.
Some people I know say that this the perfect shake for them, so I suppose it all depends on personal preference, but I will be steering clear of this one in the future. I give this shake a 3 out of 5 stars, and I some what recommend it, for the nutrients, but not the taste or texture.
After re-discovering the gym about a month ago, I decided that I would hit it head on, and get on training hardcore stylee. A couple of friends at work are regulars, and have been training for years, using various supplements and shakes to help them build up, and or lose weight, and gain definition.
You will soon see a few reviews on here of the multitude of powder form supplement shakes (if you have ever been to a fitness first you'll have seen 'maximuscle' products being advertised in there) from me as i try them out and see which one has the best taste and benefits package.
Multipower is a company based in Germany and was started in 1985, that produce a varied range of products for the fitness and sports industry. The companies philosophy according to their website is that they supply direct to gyms and suppliers such as Holland & Barrett, and not wholesalers as they like to give training and product support....blah, blah, blah... basically it can only be found in: Holland & Barrett, GNC, Fitness First, Bannatynes, Nuffield (im guessing thats a gym?) and online at DW Fitness. This means there is a bit of a monopoly on prices for you and I.
The product itself comes packaged in a Brown glass bottle, with an impossibly stupid lid, that if even slightly wet, like if you're hands are maybe a bit sweaty after a work out, or a shower, then you may find yourself fighting with it like the old Mr Muscle adverts. All of the information, and ingredients are listed on the label albeit in german, spanish, and english, which might cause a few people to wonder if its a dodgy import, but it isn't. I have only ever had the Chocolate flavour so I will only be able to tell you about that one, however other people that i train with love the vanilla and strawberry flavours.
Once the monumental battle that is opening the bottle has passed, after remembering to shake the life out of it just in case a small amount of sediment has settled, you are ready to enjoy and savour the taste of a really chocolatey protein drink. For those of you who dont partake of the protein drinks (No, not those ones! filthy minded people) I will say this: the large majority are not even close to actually tasting anything like chocolate, in fact, they aren't even close to tasting at all.
This one, however, is fantastic, it really does taste like a proper chocolate milkshake! its thick, milky, and ooh soo chocolatey. It is nice and sweet, but not too much soo that it becomes sickly. and leaves you with a pleasant aftertaste, not the chalky chemical one that some others do.
Nutritionally it is pretty damn good too, providing 53g of milk protein per serving (500ml) and only 1.5g of fat (chocolate flavour), the only possible down side that i can see is that it does contain 419Kcal per serving which might sound a lot, but isnt too bad for this kind of product.
Prices: if you decide to go out there and get some, in Fitness First it will cost you £3.50 per bottle (£9 for 3 at the moment on offer), in GNC and H&B it will cost you £2.99 but they do often have buy one get one half price or free on so its worth stocking up when they do.
Overall this is by far the best tasting protein drink out there, however you do have to pay for it, it's the old addage, you get what you pay for.
I would have given this product 5 stars if it wasn't for the cost and lids...

This is funny. However, on a serious note, it has been said that the most difficult part of any job is "managing people". Something Property staffers know all too well. This refers to both managing staff and residents. This is truely the most difficult part of the job. Therefore, the other traits that were previously posted, fall under this category. Such as; anger management, customer service, people skills and of course tenant landord laws.

Probably not. Nowadays, landlords have their pick of experienced managers all looking for new positions (because the economy has tanked so much). Really, I wouldn't suggest anyone without experience waste their time getting training on their own in hopes of landing a job right now (if ever).
A lot of landing a first job as an apt manager is simply luck and having the skills a landlord who is looking for one wants right then. My first job, because I had experience doing carpentry and light electrical work and I had my own pick up truck, that sold him. He didn't care that I didn't know tenant law (bless his heart), he figured I would just call him when needed until I knew enough about it. Nowadays, that wouldn't work because there are just so many people who have experience looking for work.
Once you get experience, it gets a LOT easier finding new positions because few landlords want to train people on-the-job and you have a track record of performance (hopefully). But it is a very difficult field to break into without a lot of luck.
charliewade in Bay Area, California

My top skills necessary for an apt manager:
1. Knowing the law. You MUST know tenant/landlord law very very well, and know when to ask for help in applying it when you don't know. Can't fake this, otherwise you will cost your landlord a lot of money.
2. Being organized. You have to stay on top of lease expirations, when rent is due, juggling maintenance requests and scheduling vendors/people to attend to them, make timely replies to phone calls and emails, make sure ads are up-to-date and complete.... To do your job and save your sanity, you have to be uber organized and stay on top of things in a big way.
3. People skills. You have to know how to deal effectively with a whole spectrum of different kinds of people: difficult people, manipulative people, angry people, nice people, low-maintenance people, high-maintenance people.... Need to know this not only to do your job, but also to keep your sanity. You have to know how to deal with people but not to internalize their replies. Remember: it isn't personal (for them or you), you're just there to do your job.
I might also add that when you're an apt manager, you don't have friends among the tenants. By definition, you can't truly be friends anyway since you have power over them. You must be friendly with your tenants but you cannot look at them as true friends. Your LL doesn't care about your friendships, you have to do your job. Eventually, your job is going to be telling your tenants 'no'. If you try to be true friends with them, that isn't going to work.

You advice is great, and I concur with all of it. My management company and atty lack a tad in keeping up with me and the issues that I have with this one tenant tho. I'm swamped with paperwork from her as she faxes, mails and puts it in my inbox on my office door. I've watched her mentally digress, and she really needs to be in a different type of environment. She is more time consuming for me than all my other tenants put together. She hasnt paid rent this month due to the fact that she got told "no" for a screen door on her unit. She left me a note that she will be in the hospital for the next 4 days and will need 8 weeks for recovery. She knows rent is due on the first.. but I'm pretty sure she will use this medical thing to get out of it for now. I have a full box of her correspondence to me, I couldnt fit it in her file anymore. I have to admit that I do get frustrated, however I don't let her see that. Aye yi yi!
charliewade in Bay Area, California

Stay within your job and the law. If her unit is 'habitable', she has to pay rent. If she is late with rent, she should be immediately issued a 3 day notice. If she ignores that, then punt it to the attorney and have him file an unlawful detainer suit in court. At that point, it's the attorney's baby. Any other correspondance that doesn't include a full rent check gets send onto the attorney.
If the attorney or landlord decides not to pursue a suit or doesn't do it in a timely manner, so what? It's out of your control. Just note all correspondance from her and forward it onto the attorney.
Good luck.

Well... let's talk about the other side of the fence: you are not blameless in what happen to you. You can't be taken advantage of unless you let it.
You're an adult; you have free will and the ability to say 'no' So why did you agree to move into such a dump? Yes, those apt managers might have been 'inexperienced, unorganized, and... not care'. But *you* let them take advantage of you. If they were such dupes and incompetent, what does that make *you* since you were taken advantage of by such incompetent people?

— A point-and-click computer program that can automatically hack into vulnerable wireless networks - or probe them for weak spots - has been released by US researchers. Experts say it highlights the importance of ensuring that wireless networks are configured securely.
The program combines several existing wireless hacking tools and an easy-to-use "front end". It was revealed at the DECFON computer security conference in Las Vegas, US, over the weekend.
The tool, called WiCrawl, sniffs out wireless access points and automatically probes them for weaknesses. It combines tools that have been around for a while but normally require more expertise to use. However, providing a wireless network has been configured securely - using the strongest possible encryption - it should be invulnerable.
Aaron Peterson, who developed the program and is founder of a Seattle security company called Midnight Research Labs, demonstrated the program at the conference.
"The goal is to automate the tedious task of scanning Wi-Fi access points for interesting information," a summary describing WiCrawl states. "This can be a useful tool for penetration testers looking to 'crawl' through massive numbers of access points looking for interesting data."
Automatic probe
Once activated, WiCrawl will search for wireless local area networks within range and can automatically probe for specific vulnerabilities. It then calls up the tools needed to exploit these vulnerabilities and gain access to the protected network.
The program is designed to work with multiple wireless cards, so that one card can scan for available networks while one or more other cards probe nearby networks for weaknesses.
Matt Bevan an independent computer security consultant based in the UK says WiCrawl highlights the importance of making sure a wireless network is configured securely. "Every wireless router or hub comes with security options but they are usually switched off by default," he notes. Other software tools, such as firewalls and anti-virus software can give added protection, he says, providing these have also been configured correctly.
Little pieces
Other experts insist that WiCrawl will help administrators make sure their network is secure.
"In general what happens with security tools, you get a lot of little pragmatic pieces here and there that are good at one thing," says Paul Holman, a Seattle security researcher with The Shmoo Group, a computer security think tank. "Wicrawl attempts to roll up all those little pieces and make them useful."
Holman admits that Wicrawl could make it easier for criminals to crack wireless systems, but he contends that this is outweighed by its usefulness to administrators.
However, Bevan says tools like WiCrawl can easily prove to be double-edged. "It could be very useful, but the downside is that it is now in the hands of virtually anybody."

Chris O'Dowd and Ben Foster will star in a biopic about Lance Armstrong.
Deadline.com reports that Foster will play the lead role of the disgraced cyclist, while O'Dowd has signed on to play journalist David Walsh, who was one of the sports writers that uncovered Armstrong's performance-enhancing substance abuse.
Stephen Frears (Philomena, The Queen) will direct the as-yet- untitled biographical film which will also feature Breaking Bad's Jesse Plemons and Guillaume Canet in supporting roles.
John Hodge (Trance) wrote the screenplay which is based on Walsh's book, Seven Deadly Sins: My Pursuit of Lance Armstrong, which chronicles the journalist's efforts in exposing the seven-time Tour de France winner for doping in order to win races.
Warner Bros also has a biopic about Armstrong in pre-production, which is called Red Blooded American.

Tag: 'eggs'
October 3, 2008 at 11:00 pm
I usually eat oatmeal for breakfast in the mornings because I am sleepy and lazy at seven o'clock in the morning. It's easier to dump a packet of oats in a bowl, add water and microwave it than to prepare an omelet or scrambled eggs. However, the protein in eggs is good for me and keeps me fuller longer, so I sometimes make peanut butter crepes on the weekends. They're pretty quick too, though I have to clean more bowls, beaters and skillets later.
I grabbed this recipe from Erin Shea's site, Lose the Buddha over a year ago, though she calls them peanut butter pancakes. I prefer to call them crepes since it sounds more egg-like. I'm sure someone will tell me why it's absolutely erroneous for me to be calling them crepes, but I don't care, they'll always be crepes to me. I also doubled the recipe because I am tall and hungry.
Peanut Butter Crepes
1 large egg
5 egg whites
1 Tablespoon Splenda (or sugar or another sweetener)
2 Tablespoons peanut butter
Combine ingredients in a blender […]

TAMPA — Johan Harju has proudly watched one of his best friends, fellow Swede Linus Omark, get regular ice time with the Oilers.
"He should be in this league. He deserves it," Harju said.
Now, it appears Harju, 24, after spending most of the season with AHL Norfolk, will get his shot with the Lightning. The rookie, called up Friday for the fourth time this season, is expected to play center or wing on the fourth line and get opportunities on the power play with Ryan Malone out six to eight weeks.
After spending his whole career in Europe, Harju admitted it has been an adjustment playing the North American style, on smaller rinks with less space, but feels more comfortable and confident this time around. And if Saturday's game against the Hurricanes is any indication, Harju has made significant improvements.
"Harju played very well — very, very well," Lightning coach Guy Boucher said of the 6-foot-3, 210-pounder who had two shots in 7:51 of ice time (3:53 on the power play). "I was impressed. He's got a lot of speed, got a great shot, and I thought he battled hard physically.
"And that's the one thing I thought he didn't have before. He had the speed, had the shot. He was smart. But he had to learn the North American fighting game, and his fighting level was a lot better than it was."
Harju, a sixth-round pick in 2007 , is known for his offensive abilities, including what Boucher calls a "tremendous shot."
"His shot is lethal," Boucher said. "He can score goals."
Harju has done just that for the Admirals, leading them with 18 goals in earning a spot in the AHL All-Star Game. But as he has found out in eight NHL games this season, in which he has a goal and an assist, there's not as much open space as in Europe, "where you can pick up speed and skate all over."
"The biggest thing is the pace of the game and smaller rinks and the physical game," said defenseman Victor Hedman, who last season had to make a similar adjustment coming from Sweden. "You have to move your feet all the time and look for those open areas."
But while at Norfolk, Harju also focused on improving defensively, both in positioning and awareness, knowing that's what it takes to play in the NHL.
"I don't expect more of him offensively. I expect more defensively," Boucher said. "That's something that he should have learned down there (in Norfolk). And I'm sure he did. So he's probably more reliable, and I won't be scared to put him on. Usually, that's the biggest issue. When guys come up, they're in shape enough. They've got enough skill. Usually, they're strong enough. It's just defensively they're all over the place.
"They don't realize that in the NHL, it's not a developmental league. It's a performance league. And when those guys come up, if they don't have at least a decent amount of defensive skills or awareness, you can't put them on."
Though this season has been a roller coaster for Harju, he downplayed a report out of Sweden last month that he was unhappy and planned to "go home" after this season.
"A couple of guys from my hometown in Sweden (were) working for a newspaper," Harju said. "And they understood me wrong. I am having a fun time here and love to play here."
And now Harju is getting his chance.

If the invitation's only function was to get guests to the church on time, many a bride would just Evite everyone. But as Amy Madanick of Rugg Road Paper Company knows, the invite offers guests a first glimpse at the festivities to come. "When someone puts together a really creative piece with interesting colors and papers and graphics, it builds excitement for the event," she says. Turns out, there are a surprising number of decisions to make before the invites are signed, sealed, and delivered.
For most couples, what's the hardest part of choosing an invitation? Keeping within the budget. A lot of times, people fall in love with something that's more than they'd hoped to spend. There are so many wonderful designs with layers and wraps and pockets—but because of the number of pieces and the labor it takes to create those, they're a higher price. And when people host whole-weekend affairs, those separate cards add up.
What are some ways to keep the costs down? Print in one ink color, since there's additional charge for more than one. Avoid using too many layers or wraps—your invites can still make a strong design statement even though they're simple. You can also purchase some components and combine them yourself. If you loved a printed card with a satin ribbon over it, you can order the card, buy ribbon, and tie it up on your own. And you can skip the calligrapher—your own hand-addressed envelopes are a nice touch.
In a pinch, can you save money by making them from scratch? If you're a designer, or really crafty, doing your own invitations certainly adds dimension to your event. But mainstream companies have begun hiring really creative people to develop unique stationery. Letterpress printing, for example, used to be strictly custom, but now it's available through larger companies. So it's a lot less work, and usually less expensive, to order rather than try to do it yourself.
Speaking of what everyone else is doing…what is everyone else doing? Layering and pockets are really big. So are motifs—we had one couple getting married in Venice who used custom sketches of the city on all their stationery. We're also seeing lots of delicate floral designs, and patterns that bleed off the page—and letterpress is really popular. Five or six years ago, the look was very crisp and modern. Now it's a little softer, more romantic.
And do the bride's parents, or whoever's writing the check, still have to get top billing? With extended families and divorces and [older couples] getting married, there's a lot of "Together with their families…" Names used to indicate who was paying, but not anymore. Even if an older couple is getting married and paying for it themselves, they'll sometimes include their parents just because they want to. And people who want to include children from a previous marriage can use all the names: We've had wording like, "Please join Jamie and Chloe at the marriage of their parents," or, "The children of so-and-so invite you to the wedding of…" We've had international couples write the invitations in two languages; we've had people use poems. There's such a range.
Is there a polite way to list your wedding website or your registry? Not on the invitation. Just give the time, date, place, reception, and whether it's black-tie. A direction card is a better place for a wedding website. As for the registry, you could possibly include it on a save-the-date or a shower invitation, but not on a wedding invitation, not even on an enclosed card. The implication that you expect a gift is not considered tasteful.
Rugg Road Paper Company,105 Charles St., Boston, 617-742-0002, ruggroadpaper.com.
Madanick breaks down invitation shopping for busy brides.
Do Your Homework
"Spend a little time researching online or in stores. We expect that customers will come at least three times to go through the books and find out what appeals to them—and what doesn't. Meanwhile, talk to anyone in your family who might have strong opinions about the final product to avoid any post-order meltdowns (this includes your fiancé and both your mothers)."
Figure Out What You Need
"Check all the details. Do you have to include directions or hotel information? Is it a weekend affair with a lot of additional information cards? Talk to your stationery person and make sure it's all there."
Don't Overthink It
"A lot of times we see people going toward a certain type of invitation over and over. It's like anything else: If you know in your gut that it's right, then go with it." –B.C.

Here's the funny thing about wedding décor: If your party's well-planned, guests will spend more time mingling at the bar and on the dance floor than they will ogling the centerpieces. At least, that's what cocktail expert Philip Corona thinks. "People may not remember the flowers or the linens; they will remember if they had a good time," he says. The general manager for MAX Ultimate Food, an upscale catering company in Boston, Corona (no relation to the beer, just a happy coincidence) has helped orchestrate everything from two-person intimate dinners to 300-plus wedding extravaganzas. With his own impending nuptials on the brain, he shares a few bar-planning s
trategies he's picked up along the way.
What's the first thing to consider when planning a bar menu? Keep it simple. There's no need to have all the fixings for Long Island iced teas or Slippery Nipples. These kinds of drinks don't reflect how special a wedding is, anyway. A bar should be someplace to get a cocktail that is simple yet elegant, and wines that will complement the food.
Is a cash bar genius, or tacky? Definitely tacky. I'd much rather sacrifice tenderloin for chicken than have a cash bar. Your guests traveled all this distance, and they want to be taken care of. As soon as you limit them to a cash bar, you limit how they react and how much fun they'll have. I hate to say that liquor will get them going, but…
What are a proper bar's essentials? Aside from beer, wine, and juice, all you really need is gin, vodka, and whiskey. With these three, you can make just about anything you want. When it comes to wine, just offer one red, like a pinot noir, and one white, like pinot grigio. A lot of people think you need variety, but the fewer bottles you open, the less waste there is when the party's over. And don't be afraid to ask for a tasting ahead of time—you try the food, so why not the wine as well?
How do you keep your guests from getting sloshed? The one downside of an open bar is that some guests don't know when to say when. It's best not to offer sweet, frilly drinks that go down too easily. As bartenders, we do monitor guests and will make a drink weaker than usual if someone concerns us. The key is to not let them know—we might add a floater of liquor on top, or a little booze in the straw, so at first taste, the drink seems stronger than it is. Regardless, it may give you peace of mind to offer cab vouchers to anyone who wants them.
To toast or not toast with champagne? I'm seeing fewer people doing the champagne toast. It can be so wasteful. It's like serving cake while everyone is dancing—maybe 20 percent of the guests actually partake. As long as you have wine on the table, you'll be fine. If you do want something bubbly, think about making a signature cocktail using Prosecco and fruit purées.
How do you really impress guests? First and foremost, they want to feel like royalty. So instead of just pre-pouring cocktails into glasses and leaving them on a tray, have servers walk around with a shaker and pour them into glasses. And personalize the drinks. If you met on Cape Cod, offer a Cape Codder. If you fell in love with lychees on a romantic trip to Thailand, have a lychee martini. Don't be afraid to deviate from the standard. One couple knew their friends and family were big beer fans, so they had pitchers at the tables and even played beer pong during the cocktail hour. After all, this is your night, so make it about you.
How much can—or should—the newly-weds drink at the reception? I always recommend brides and grooms down a glass of water for every cocktail. Have the bartender put it in a cocktail or champagne glass to give the illusion that you're imbibing like everybody else. The night will go so quickly. If your memory is foggy, then all you'll have is the photographs.

Corona's tricks for keeping the costs down without seeming like a cheapskate.
Maximize Your Mixers
Feature a signature cocktail using fruit juices, or simple syrups, which are essentially sugar and water. Sangria is a good choice, as is a tropical rum punch. Not only does this personalize the event, but it helps keep costs in check by watering down the drinks. Three of these equals just two traditional martinis, liquor-wise, Corona explains.
Timing Is Everything
Close down the full bar during dinner and serve only wine at the tables. Once the meal is done, reopen the bar for late-night revelry.
Hit Up Costco
Ask your caterer and reception venue if you can buy your own wine, beer, and liquor. While you may have to pay for a liquor permit, you'll avoid the (typically 30 percent) markup and save by buying in bulk. Afterward, the leftovers are yours to keep. What better way to start married life than with a fully stocked wine cellar? –H.G.
The Groove Master
Two left feet? Worry not. A little prep can go a long way in making you and your partner smooth as silk on the dance floor.
By Terri Trespicio
In the 20 years that Liz Nania has been teaching dancing, she has helped many a knock-kneed, white-knuckled couple go from flustered to fearless on the dance floor. Here, the founder of West Roxbury's Out to Dance studio shares her insights on how to make your first moments at the reception memorable and angst-free.
What are most couples' biggest hang-ups about the first dance? For most people, the idea of having everyone they know and love stare at them for three-and-a-half minutes is hell. So they set the bar low—they tell me they just don't want to look stupid. Often they assume, quite incorrectly, that they have no rhythm or ability. In fact, most people have never been taught the fundamentals in a mature, supportive environment. It's not about complex steps—it's about learning to lead or follow, shift your weight, and breathe.
Are there any hard-and-fast rules for the style of the first dance? Not really—the dance can be anything you want. It doesn't have to be schmaltzy; it can be upbeat and fun. The only rule, really, is that the male partner must lead, otherwise it can end up looking awkward. Sometimes the bride is more comfortable leading, but I've never seen one make it work.
How does this work with same-sex couples? Actually, it's a lot easier, because whoever is more comfortable can lead. Other than that, I don't see much of a difference between how the dance works between heterosexual or gay and lesbian couples.
What about songs? Is there a hands-down favorite, or one that just won't work, ever? The number-one wedding pick by a landslide is "At Last" by Etta James. I can't tell you how many times I've worked with that song. In general, couples tend to lean toward the jazz standards, the great American songbooks, often updated by Harry Connick Jr. or Michael Bublé. "It Had To Be You" is really popular, for instance. But I'll tell you this: I've never rejected someone's song. Bottom line: If you love it, you can do it. It's just a matter of finding the right footwork. One time a bride chose a classical piece, which was tricky. But we made it work.
What are the risks of not preparing, and just winging it? For one, you may be more stressed because you won't know what to do once the moment has arrived. The only other real risk is that the dance itself will be forgettable, and your guests will be bored. You have to decide who this dance is for. If you and your mate prefer to sway and talk, that's fine. But if you want to put on a little show for your guests, it's worth doing some preparation.
Time and cash can be tight during wedding planning. Why spend both on a three-minute tune? Think of this as more than just practicing for that first dance or avoiding humiliation. This is about dancing through your whole reception—and let's face it, the rest of your life. Beyond that, couples tell me they find they love this part of their planning above all others. It allows them to reconnect in a romantic way—to hold each other, look into one another'
s eyes. And that intimacy and focus can often get lost in all the frenzy of wedding preparation. If you can get over the hump and walk into that first lesson, you'll walk out 100 percent relieved. In fact, the dance has the potential to be the most special moment of your wedding day.

Nania's four-part plan for first-dance success.
Start Early
Don't wait until right before the wedding to think about, or prepare for, your first dance—aim for 3 to 6 months before the big day. On average, couples only need 3 one-hour sessions to get it down.
Choose Wisely
Go with a song that you both love—not what your mother or sister thinks you should dance to, what your DJ recommends, or what you feel you should use. Because if you don't love it from the start, you'll definitely hate it by the end.
Take a Refresher Course
Save your last hour of dance instruction for a week or two before the wedding so that you feel confident and ready.
Get Past the Fear
This is about fun, romance, tradition—and stress reduction. Learning a dance should not be panic-inducing. The more prepared you are, the more enjoyable it will be for you and your guests. T.T.
The Lighting Guru
Ballroom or barn, mansion or garden, every setting can be made magical with a stellar lighting scheme.
By Brittany Jasnoff
While ice sculptures, a martini luge, and fireworks can certainly set the mood, less dramatic measures, like a few strategically placed lights, can magically transform a bride into a supermodel, or subtly guide your guests toward the dining room at the appointment hour. Armed with a background in stage design, Waltham-based Suzanne B. Lowell dishes on how the right lights can make—or break—a scene.
What effects can lighting have on guests' perception of an event? I like lighting tricks that act on a subliminal level. We can alter candlelight later in the evening, introducing colors that change the way that guests view the room. Red is an exciting, sexy color, while blue can be quite calming. I find illuminating walls, fabrics, and reflective surfaces very beautiful; it creates this ethereal glow. It's even possible to light flowers and other decorations so they look as if they've been plugged in, almost electrified, rather than lit from above.
If a bride wants something spectacular—and cost is no object—what might she get? We did one really lavish event in several tents. We hung a seven-foot chandelier in the entryway, where the place cards were. It created a place for guests to linger before walking into the tents. In the ceremony tent, we hung chandeliers in the aisle leading up to the chuppah, with beautiful white circles of light focused in between, on the aisle runner. The classic style of the chandeliers contrasted with the geometric look of the floor lighting. We've also created some wonderful events by suspending hundreds of Japanese lanterns in the canopy of a clear-top tent. As evening falls, the lanterns begin to glow a rich cobalt blue.
How much does lighting a ceremony or reception site set a couple back? Can the process really ever be budget-friendly? We've gone anywhere from $1,200 into the six figures. An upscale wedding at the Boston Harbor Hotel, for example, could start at $4,000 and go up from there. Couples on a budget should have a lighting company use up-lighting to accent architectural and décor elements, and supplement it with candles.
OK, so not all lights are equal. What does everyone want right now? A lot of today's event designs are fixture driven—giant crystal chandeliers, Japanese lanterns, gorgeous Italian table lamps, beautiful torches. They're tangible, almost like pieces of furniture. The other, more subtle approach is to create visual focal points in the room—architectural elements you want to highlight, or places you'd like people to gravitate toward.
Keeping everything perfectly aglow can't always be an easy task. What's your biggest wedding day horror story? We once did an outdoor wedding in a hurricane. When the winds and rain came in, it was a mess! The area near the dimmer panel got struck by lightning, so it zapped two thirds of our lighting. At one point, the rain came down so hard that it washed all the oil out of the wicks and we couldn't light the torches. We spent the rest of the time cleaning up and drying the tent.
Does season matter? Do you do anything special for fall or winter weddings? The best way to approach a warm, autumn color palette is to create the look of candlelight—to play up reds and golds. If the theme is wintry, with cooler tones like aqua, ice blue, cobalt, or navy, we can pick up on that, too. Lighting should work as it does in theater and dance. It isn't a stand-alone design element—it works with your venue, your décor, and your music. For a cohesive look, everyone's got to work together.
Suzanne B. Lowell Lighting Design, 781-899-5883, sbllighting.com.
It's your day to shine, but beware: Sometimes the spotlight isn't always your best light. Here, Lowell's tips for staying bright and beautiful.
Beware of Fluorescents
Those bright white bulbs you use to illuminate your features while applying makeup will do just that at your wedding—highlight flaws in harsh, unforgiving light. "It's the least flattering light I'm aware of," says Lowell.
Choose Color Wisely
Pale blush colors bring new life to your gown and your face, while primary greens and yellows can dull both. "They can be used as accents around the room," says Lowell, "but they ought not touch the bride."
Don't Uplight Yourself
Use this effect to draw attention to centerpieces and flower arrangements—but not to you or directly around the ceremony area. "It's like putting a flashlight under your chin," says Lowell. "It reverses your natural shadows."–B.J.
The Couturier
Offbeat style, low-end budget, junk in the trunk…no matter the challenge, Ana Hernandez swears there's a dress out there for you.
By Donna Garlough
Call her a designer, a dressmaker, a bridal consultant. Having outfitted hundreds of Boston-area brides in her totally custom creations, Ana Hernandez knows how to make a girl shine. "I think about how a bride will look from all angles, and play up her best features," she says. Here, she dishes on everything from price tags to panties, knowing full well that it's your smile, not the dress, that really counts. "In the end, looking great is about how you feel," she says with a wink. "Not just what you're wearing."
When picking a dress, where do you start—your style or your silhouette? It helps if you bring along photos of dresses you like, because that helps the shop define your taste and style. But your venue is the most important factor, so I advise brides not to shop until they know where they're getting married. The venue will determine the date, the
time of day, and the formality of your wedding. It'll also be the background for all of your pictures, so you'll want to pick a gown color and details that complement the setting. There are also practical issues. If you'll be walking on grass or sand, your dress should be hemmed to a different length than if you'll be in a hotel all day.
What if your dream dress looks terrible on your body? Oh, it happens. A bride with no waist will come in wishing for a fitted mermaid gown, and I have to let her try one on. Usually she'll see why it doesn't work and be willing to try different silhouettes; but if she's dead set on a style, there are always ways to make it work. You can balance a bigger bottom with a deeper neckline, or create curves with diagonal pleats. It's not always easy, but it's possible.
Not everyone has $8,000 to drop on a wedding gown. Where can a budget-constrained bride scrimp so that no one will notice? The price depends on the complexity of the pattern, the number and types of fabrics used, and the details of the dress, such as beading. Typically, the simpler the shape and the less lace and beadwork involved, the lower the price will be. But sometimes the price is less meaningful, especially with the more expensive gowns. Off the rack, you'll see a huge difference in quality between a $700 gown and a $3,500 one. But between $3,500 and $7,000? The difference is the label.
What underwear goes best under a wedding gown? On top, the right support depends on the dress. For a sleeveless gown or a plunging back, I'd sew bra cups directly into the dress, so nothing slides around or peeks out. For panties, Victoria's Secret has seamless ones that are great; avoid anything with elastic, and go a size bigger than you normally wear so there's no pinching or lumps. If you need extra control, Spanx are good. Whatever you choose, buy them in a nude shade. And have all your wedding-day undergarments with you at every fitting, so you can see how they look.
How do you go to the bathroom when you're wearing 30 layers of tulle? Forget having your maid of honor hold your dress over your head in the bathroom stall. Here's the civilized way to do it: Buy a pretty slip and hang it in the bathroom. When you need to go, step out of your gown, hang it up, and put on the slip. Do your business, freshen your makeup, have a glass of water, and relax for a few minutes. Then put the dress on and go back to the party.
Does it bother you when brides trash their wedding gowns? Oh, God. Some people destroy their dresses! But I don't mind. I love it when a bride comes back carrying a dress that looks like it's been through a battlefield, and when she tells me, "I had so much fun wearing this!" When the dress is in bad shape, you just know she had a blast.
Ana Hernandez Bridal Salon, 165 Newbury St., Boston, 617-536-2500, anahernandezbridal.com.
Hernandez's top sartorial tips for your big day.
With accessories, jewelry, and handbags, it's tempting to go all out on your wedding day. But less is more, advises Hernandez. Too much gear and you could end up looking like a Christmas tree. For a finished—not overdone—look, heed this advice.
Skip the Stilettos
"Unless money is no object, don't splurge on your shoes," says Hernandez. "With most dresses, you won't even be able to see them." Instead of $600 Manolos, look for comfort and support. "You're going to wear them all day. You'd better be able to jog in those shoes!"
Watch Your Head
Wearing a veil, tiara, earrings, a necklace, and hair jewelry will detract from what's important: your face. Choose one or two statement pieces, and keep the rest minimal.
Think About Proportion
"I hate the 'lollipop look,'" Hernandez admits. "Big hair, big veil, teeny body." Pair a full skirt with a full veil, or go veil-free with a slinkier gown. –D.G.
The Therapist
Marriage therapy before the marriage? It exists—and it works. One local counselor shares her tips on marriage shock, feuding parents, and cold feet.
By Terri Trespicio
The question's been popped, the date is set. The planning period should be blissful, right? "It's exciting—until the moment when you come home with $300 bridesmaid gifts, or he picks out a 54-inch plasma for the bedroom," says Brookline-based prenuptial therapist Mimi Licht. "That's when you realize there are compromises to make." But even if a couple is screaming bloody murder over their cake tasting, they're not destined to fail as a Mr. and Mrs., she says. You can head into the fray together—and come out safely on the other side.
What happens right after the engagement to create problems in the relationship? I've seen it many times: A couple gets engaged, and the bride immediately gets on the phone—and the calls just don't stop. She becomes completely immersed in wedding plans, while he falls by the wayside. They lose their connection, and he can begin to feel resentful, even angry. I've had couples come to me on this issue alone. Most couples grossly underestimate how stressful this period can be.
What if a couple's been dating, perhaps living together, for years? Is the post-engagement time really that different? You could spend years living together, but once you're engaged, suddenly the relationship becomes this public thing. Friends and family start weighing in on where you should hold the wedding, what kind of ceremony to have, maybe even your decision to get married. Preconceived notions about the role of husband and wife start to kick in, stirring up all kinds of doubts about careers, kids, and money. It can throw people into "marriage shock," and deeper anxieties can surface. Maybe the bride's father used to control the money and give her mother a hard time about purchases, and so the bride is afraid of losing her autonomy. You have to realize that you're not doomed—you are in control of how your marriage will turn out. But you must bring those issues up early on in the engagement. Don't quietly hope that things will turn out perfect.
What's the cardinal sin of wedding planning? Without a doubt, it's letting the mother of the bride hijack the wedding preparations. The bride must put her foot down. The other big stumbling block happens when the bride or groom makes a large financial commitment—about the wedding or otherwise—without consulting the other person. This can be particularly difficult for the bride, who may have an image of her wedding in her mind that may not match what they can afford. I encourage couples to think about a realistic budget, and make sure they talk through major financial decisions together—anything over a certain amount must be a joint decision.
What if someone gets cold feet? It happens. Some panic that once they're married, they'll fall off the face of the planet, that their old lives will vanish. I ask my clients, What are you really afraid of: Not seeing your friends, or that if you do, your husband will disapprove or get jealous? Or are you nervous about him being out without you? Sometimes I'll meet someone one-on-one to get at the issues that really scare them. If it's daily habits and lifestyle changes that trouble you, my advice is to set forth a trial and error period, where you test out different kinds of routines and schedules. It may seem businesslike, but this is what makes things work out. Whatever issues you're worried about won't go away just b
ecause you get married. But rather than assume the worst will happen, you have to look not just to your parents but to couples you admire, whose relationships you want to model. You can't guarantee a marriage will work, but you can commit to being self-aware about the issues that bother you.
How should a couple deal with divorced or feuding parents at the wedding? First, talk to someone, together or separately, about your own fears and feelings about this. Because this is such a sensitive issue, I advise involving another friend or family member, or even a member of the clergy, to deal with the parents directly and communicate those concerns. And you want to set up a plan for how to handle the logistics. As to whether the father's girlfriend should be in the family pictures—a photographer told me that she just takes photos of everyone. This way the bride and groom can choose later which pictures to buy (or not buy), while avoiding any awkward situations at the event.
Honesty sounds like a good policy, but should you air all your dirty laundry before the wedding? I never suggest dumping everything out on the table at once. You have to feel ready to talk about issues that are painful—whether they're hurtful memories, or things you're not quite sure your partner will accept. And that happens on your own time. I encourage people to share something serious beforehand, if it makes sense to do that. My goal is to help people develop their own sense of judgment. Often there are already red flags about a serious issue (an addiction or major debt, for instance), and on some level the partner knows an issue exists. It's going to come up one way or another. Better to discuss it—at least lightly—before the wedding than afterward.
If you're still friends, is it acceptable to invite your ex to the wedding? There's no set rule. You should make your decision based on how your partner feels about that particular guest being there. If one of you is upset by it, then forget it. You don't want anyone there who may distract from the focus. If the ex is part of a larger group of friends and can blend in and everyone's fine with it, then it's probably okay.
Any advice on how to handle wedding-day nerves? I liken a wedding to a musical performance: Once you've rehearsed the music and know it cold, you can forget about everything else when you're onstage and play from the heart. Because once things are in motion you can't control whatever else is going to happen. The mantra is not to worry. Instead, let go and focus on what's going on between the two of you. The wedding goes by so fast. Your priority should be to come prepared and enjoy the moment.
Wisely Wed, 344 Harvard St., Brookline, 508-358-5706, wiselywed.com.
Licht's tips for keeping the wedding beast on a leash—and your relationship intact.
Stay Close
Make time for at least one romantic (and uninterrupted) date each week. No phones or BlackBerrys allowed.
Call a Meeting
It's easy to let wedding plans seep into every discussion or interaction. Try to contain the chaos by devoting one hour a week to go over the details.
Designate a Plan-Free Zone
Licht advises keeping all wedding talk out of the bedroom, especially after 10 p.m.
Don't Go It Alone
Cultivate a network of people you trust to discuss plans and ask for help, even just for moral support, so that you don't let the logistics drain you. –T.T.

Great shots. Your anemone looks fantastic under night lights.

As a ribs junk and new(er) smoker, I've been really trying to master Baby Back Ribs. I still have a tad of fine tuning but been really happy with my output as of late.
Dry Rub -
1/2 Dark Brown Sugar
Ginger powder (enough that as you mix you can start to smell)
I refrigerate overnight:
I use the 3-2-1 theory (try to keep consistent at around 225 but as we know, it can vary a few degrees in either direction). Here is the pic of the ribs after 3 hours in the smoker (with a mixture of Cherry and Apple wood and a spritz of apple juice after the first 2 hours):
For the next 2 hours I wrap the ribs in tin foil and lay them meat side down in a mixture of honey and butter (you can also use some BBQ sauce, in this case Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ, but that is optional). Really feel like you can taste the hint of butter and honey in the finished product which only adds to the amazing existing flavor:
After 2 hours, I take them out and throw them back on the grill. Here is where my "fine tuning" is still being worked on. After these 2 hours, the ribs are pretty much cooked and extremely tender. The reason I throw them back on is because I want to "crispin" them a touch but sometimes this will lead to some of the end pieces with not as much meat getting a tad dry. I'm contemplating in the future just throwing in the oven at a high temp since the meat really isn't taking any more smoke at this point. ANY HELP/ADVICE HERE WOULD BE GREAT!
Still though, the finished product is OUTSTANDING! There are some pieces you just pick up and the bone just comes out in your hand...

Norwich double killer Lee Newell has appeal against whole life term for strangling child killer in jail dismissed
PUBLISHED: 15:06 18 February 2014 | UPDATED: 17:05 18 February 2014
A Norwich murderer who was found guilty of strangling a convicted child killer at a maximum security jail has had an appeal that his whole life order had been excessive dismissed.
Lee Newell, now 45, who murdered child killer Subhan Anwar, challenged a whole-life sentence imposed last September at Warwick Crown Court.
He was convicted alongside Gary Smith for the February 2013 murder of Anwar in his cell at Long Lartin Prison, Worcestershire.
• Man who murdered Norwich woman kills again
• Norwich double killer Lee Newell will never be released from jail
But Newell, who was already serving a life sentence for the murder of his neighbour Mary Neal in Gateley Gardens, Norwich, in 1988, had his challenge dismissed at the Court of Appeal in London today.
Lord Thomas said: "The murder was premeditated and involved the use of an improvised weapon. It occurred in prison whilst Newell continued to serve a life sentence. The deceased took a significant time to die.
"There was no mitigation. This was a murder where the seriousness of the offence was exceptionally high. The judge was right in making a whole-life order. This appeal is accordingly dismissed."
Lord Thomas said: "These two cases are exceptional and rare cases of second murders committed by persons serving the custodial part of a life sentence.
"The making of a whole-life order requires detailed consideration of the individual circumstances of each case.
"It is likely to be rare that the circumstances will be such that a whole-life order is required."
Anwar, from Huddersfield, was serving a life sentence for killing his partner's two-year-old daughter.
Newell's case came before a specially-constituted court which has declared that sentencing judges can impose "whole life tariffs" for murderers who have committed the most heinous of crimes.
Backing the use of "life-means-life" orders, a panel of five judges at the Court of Appeal increased the "unduly lenient" 40-year minimum being served by killer Ian McLoughlin, who murdered a man while on day release, to a whole-life term.
Today's guidance from the appeal judges in London comes in the wake of a decision by the European Court of Human Rights last year in an appeal by three murderers.
Giving the panel's ruling, Lord Thomas said the court had held that the statutory scheme enacted by Parliament which enabled judges to pass whole-life orders was "entirely compatible" with the European Convention on Human Rights.
"Judges should therefore continue as they have done to impose whole-life orders in those rare and exceptional cases which fall within the statutory scheme.
"Under the statutory scheme as enacted by Parliament, the Secretary of State has power to release a prisoner on licence if he is satisfied that exceptional circumstances exist which justify the prisoner's release on compassionate grounds."
Sentencing in a number of high-profile criminal cases had been put on hold - including the terms to be handed out to soldier Lee Rigby's murderers Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale - pending the Court of Appeal's findings.
After the ruling, Attorney General Dominic Grieve, who referred the McLoughlin sentence to the court for review, said: "I am pleased that the Court of Appeal has today confirmed that those who commit the most heinous crimes can be sent to prison for the rest of their lives
"As someone who has killed three times, Ian McLoughlin committed just such a crime, and following today's judgment he has received the sentence that crime required.
"I asked the Court of Appeal to look again at McLoughlin's original sentence because I did not think that the European Court of Human Rights had said anything which prevented our courts from handing down whole life terms in the most serious cases.
"The Court of Appeal has agreed with me and today's judgment gives the clarity our judges need when they are considering sentencing cases like this in the future."
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said: "This is a timely and welcome decision. Our courts should be able to send the most brutal murderers to jail for the rest of their lives.
"I think people in Britain will be glad that our courts have disagreed with the European Court of Human Rights, and upheld the law that the UK Parliament has passed."
The ruling by Lord Thomas, Sir Brian Leveson, Lady Justice Hallett, Lord Justice Treacy and Mr Justice Burnett follows a successful appeal to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) by murderers Jeremy Bamber, Douglas Vinter and Peter Moore.
Last July the ECHR held that there had been a violation of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights - which relates to inhuman and degrading treatment - on the basis that whole-life orders were not "reducible".
The Strasbourg-based court did not say that whole-life sentences were incompatible with the convention, but that there had to be the possibility of a review at some stage and that current laws allowing for release in exceptional circumstances were unclear.
But the Court of Appeal judges ruled that the Grand Chamber was wrong when it reached a conclusion that the law of England and Wales did not clearly provide for "reducibility", saying that the domestic law "is clear as to 'possible exceptional release of whole-life prisoners'."
A power of review arose if there were "exceptional circumstances". An offender was required to demonstrate to the Secretary of State that although a whole-life order was just punishment at the time the order was made, exceptional circumstances had arisen since.
The Secretary of State "must then consider whether such exceptional circumstances justify the release on compassionate grounds".
Lord Thomas concluded: "In our judgment the law of England and Wales therefore does provide to an offender 'hope' or the 'possibility' of release in exceptional circumstances which render the just punishment originally imposed no longer justifiable."
On whole-life orders in general, Lord Thomas said the Court of Appeal did not read the Grand Chamber's judgment "as in any way casting doubt on the fact that there are crimes that are so heinous that just punishment may require imprisonment for life".
He added: "There may be legitimate dispute as to what such crimes are - at one end genocide or mass murder of the kind committed in Europe in living memory or, at the other, murder by a person who has committed other murders, but that there are such crimes cannot be doubted."
The judge added: "Under our constitution it is for Parliament to decide whether there are such crimes and to set the framework under which the judge decides in an individual case whether a whole-life order is the just punishment."
So far, 53 offenders have been sentenced to whole-life orders, including McLoughlin.
Those currently serving such terms in England and Wales include Moors Murderer Ian Brady, who tortured and murdered children along with accomplice Myra Hindley, and serial killer Rosemary West.

Over the last few days there has been some unnecessary drama around Slackware. Some Slackware users (including myself) might have slightly overreacted to Eric's comment. This, together with some poor journalling practices of a certain individual have opened a debate, not necessarily about Slackware's future – because it doesn't seem endangered in any way, but about Slackware website. Despite its negative aspects, the situation has shown how dedicated to Slackware its users are with their donations. I'm sure Pat will put these extra few dollars to a good use. I have learned so much using Slackware that it'd be inappropriate not to donate money.
Thank you Pat and the rest of the Slackware crew.

Market Update: Gold in a world of negative interest rates
Negative Interest Rate Policies may result in structurally higher demand for gold from central banks and investors alike. Download full report
Gold in a world of negative interest rates
Investors should consider doubling their gold allocations amid negative interest rates
We have entered a new and unprecedented phase in monetary policy. Central banks in Europe and Japan have now implemented Negative Interest Rate Policies (NIRP) to counteract deflationary pressures and, in some cases, currency appreciation. Amid higher market uncertainty, the price of gold is up by 16% year-to-date – in part due to NIRP.*
Investors, including central bank managers, should assess the implications of holding bonds with negative return expectations on portfolio composition and risk management. Our analysis shows that:
- Gold returns in periods of low rates are historically twice as high as their long-run average
- Investors may benefit from increasing their gold holdings up to 2.5 times, depending on the asset mix,even under conservative assumptions for gold.
In addition, we expect that demand for gold as a portfolio asset may structurally increase as NIRP:
- Reduces the opportunity cost of holding gold
- Limits the pool of assets some investors/managers would invest in
- Erodes confidence in fiat currencies
- Further increases uncertainty and market volatility.
*As of 30 March 2016.

Robotron 64
Review by striker64
"It has its ups, and it has its downs..."
Crave had decided to remake a classic game and release it on the Nintendo 64. The only difference they made was in souping up the graphics, which I think they did a good job on. However, I think they should have varied the stages a little, if at all possible. There are 200 of those bad boys, and they all look close to the same. It gets very tedious wandering around there the whole time.
There isn't much of one. A little bald kid runs around blowing up monster-thingys on what suspiciously appears to be the exact same area each just with some different enemies every time. And why is he doing this? To save the last human family. The last human family either one very large family, or a family prone to getting captured easily. And quickly. Kinda like a lemming, but not really.
The only reason this gets a 5 is because there are a whole mess of powerups lying around, making for some cool weapons, like spray bullets and a flamethrower. Other than that, the stages are all alike.
I like the background music a lot. I think it adds a great touch to the game. Craze did a good job tuning it up. The sounds of your gun blasting and the creatures blowing up is just damn cool to listen to.
The controls are simple and easy to get used to, although I'm the type of person who likes things to get somewhat complex sometimes. That little bald kid would probably blast me right now if he could, but he can't because he's caught in another dimension or something, so he won't. I do, however, like the setup of the gun controls on the C buttons. Each direction on the C button is a direction you can fire in. Pretty nifty.
Craze did a fairly good job of souping up the graphics from the original version. The characters still have that crappy block like texture to them, but hey, there's really not that much you can do, is there?
Replay Factor
I don't understand it. I just don't understand it. Even as much as I rant, and that I hate that there are so many levels that are so identical in nature (as far as I have seen), I just can't stop playing it. Save me! ;.;
I give it a 6. Why? Dunno. Read everything above and stuff. Rend this game if you see it for sure. I think you can actually buy a new version of this game for $15, not bad if you rent it and like it.

I'm 26 years old and weigh over 200 lbs. I am currently trying to lose about 40 lbs before my procedure. I will be having a tummy tuck lipo of the whole body and a breast lift. I have never had any children yet my body looks like I've had 4! I have stretch marks on every part of my body. I am so unhappy with my body yet I am still very nervous for surgery. My bf will only stay with me if I have the surgery done. We went to Colombia last November and I freaked out and didn't have the surgery done. So now we are planning on going back this November to actually get it done. I would really love a new body but my nerves seem to get to me everyday. I don't want us to waste money on this surgery and then I really don't look great afterwards cause I'm so big right now. I really want to make my bf happy cause I want to marry him. I am hoping to find some encouragement on this site. I will be adding photos soon. I will be having my surgery done by Dr. Felipe Amaya in Bogota. I am also concerned that I will only be there for 14 days then will be flying home to no dr at home if there are complications. Also my bf is not staying the whole time with me. He is only staying 3 days with me. I am hoping that I do not freak myself out this time. I really want to go through with it.
Having a Full Mommy Makeover but Never Had Kids!!!!!! -Bogota, Colombia
I'm 26 years old and weigh over 200 lbs. I am...
Before Photos
Here I am before my surgery. I have gained 30 lbs in the past year and am so upset with myself. As you can see my breasts are very droopy for a 26 year old and I have a lot of cellulite and stretch marks.
All done!! 6 weeks PO
Well I had the surgery and it's been a crazy ride. The first couple weeks I was mad I went through with it but now I am finally seeing this as a good start for me. I'm very happy with the results. I had a seroma that developed but I was able to find a doctor near me that is taking care of the seroma now. I am posting pictures of my tummy. My breasts have been a nightmare and I'm not ready to post pictures of those yet.

This is an exploratory study conducted in a general hospital in the greater Florianopolis in Santa Catarina State, Brazil using a qualitative/quantitative approach. The main objective is to describe the therapeutic route of patients seeking health assistance in an emergency hospital and their justifications for this choice, discussing it primarily from a socio-political and cultural point of view, without the intention to adhere to the theoretical philosophical aspects of these theories. The sample was composed of 35 subjects. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation and medical charts. The data is presented in tables and using testimonials expressed by the subjects which were categorized by theme and discussed based on references that examine the issue. It was found that 82.6% of the subjects did not seek assistance at a Basic Health Unit and that the triage at the emergency hospital was performed by untrained staff. Assistance in emergency wards should be handled systematically and be focused on the user, reassessing and integrating the assistance practices and the work process.
