FA Cup countdown: Upson is living the dream with Albion
5:00am Monday 17th February 2014 in Sport
MATT Upson is still living the dream in the FA Cup – 12 years after his hopes were shattered by a broken leg.
Upson was injured for Arsenal in a tackle by Lee Carsley in a Premier League win at Everton, shortly after appearing as a substitute in their fourth round victory over Liverpool.
The Gunners went on to complete the double, beating Chelsea in the 2002 final at Cardiff. Upson played 22 games but missed out on the glorious run-in.
He said: "That whole season for me was really disappointing because it was quite a breakthrough year for me at Arsenal. I'd made ten, 12, 13 appearances on the bounce and I'd just forced my way in the team ahead of Martin Keown who at the time was a top player but coming more to the end of his career at Arsenal.
"It was bad timing really and very disappointing. I got sold a bit of a ball and I went to win it and my foot was planted and I just got smashed and broke my leg."
That setback makes Upson appreciate even more what he has now – two wins from reaching Wembley with Albion, three away from the final. He said: "Everyone always tells you that when you are young, that you'll only appreciate it when you know it might be coming to an end. There's an element of truth in that."

Could the new Wegmans grocery store being built in Kingstowne help raise property values? It's possible, according to a WTOP report that says high-end grocery stores like Wegmans and Whole Foods make surrounding neighborhoods more desirable.
High-end grocery stores also attract more companies to an area, WTOP reports. Proximity to a specialty grocer can raise property values by 17.5 percent, according to a 2007 study identified by WTOP.
Terri Brevig, a Kingstowne resident and real estate agent with Prudential, said that she thinks the new Wegmans could make property around it more attractive. While she says homebuyers don't typically ask her about grocery store options when looking at a home, they're interested when she brings up nearby supermarkets.
"I think it's a nice selling point," she said. "It's definitely a 'value-add.'"
The 140,000 square-foot Wegmans will be part of , located near the intersection of Telegraph Road and Beulah Street. Construction on the site, which formerly held a gravel quarry. The Wegmans is expected to open in 2014.

IF you build it, they will come: Located on former rail yards, Los Angeles State Historic Park is surrounded by freeways and warehouses. For a while, it was a giant planted-corn art project called "This Is Not a Cornfield."
Now, the 32-acre site, just north of the Gold Line Chinatown station, is far from finished -- an unpaved dirt road still leads into the center of the park. But that hasn't stopped the nature-starved and the curious from hanging on the grassy fields and concrete picnic benches.

Here are the weights: £89.99 for a 100kg set.
Here is the bench: £45.00
I have a gym membership at Uni but I struggle to workout during holiday times when I come home.
Anyone know any other retailers in the UK?
Cheaper is better as far as the weights are concerned. I dont care about regular/olympic or the style etc. But I think I'll need 100kg minimum.
With weights a big problem can be Shipping & Handling cost.
Second hand is the way to go.

Suprisingly, shipping is only £5 for the weights!
And the bench, P&P is free!
89 quid does not seem to bad for 100kg. though i would get more weights than 100kg. they will not last to long.
without searching the net. seems a good deal to me
my exprience - joined gym 10 years ago, 6 1/2 years hard weight training exprience.
I don't know your money How much is this in USD?
That's ~$180 US
I dont know if it's really comparable though because things in general cost more here.
100kg is enough for the moment I think, and I can always buy extra 20kg plates later.
Sorry to bump... does anyone have an opinion on the bench or know where I could find one?
Something foldable for storage would be a major plus too.
Bench is ok, i'd go for a york bench for about £60 from your local argos with fly attachment.

i just ordered an oly bar and weights from powerhouse fitness, they do a 140kg set fro £140 which seemed like a pretty fair deal, delivery was £10. They are due to be delivered on tuesday so i can let you know what theyre like when i get them if you want. Iwould go for an olymipc bar rather than a standard one if i was you, i have standard weights but im selling these on now to get the oly bar so i can add as much weight as i like as i progress, im now passing my standard bar on to my mrs. Far a bench, make sure you get something sturdy and check that its rated to take the max weight you wil use AND your bodyweight, some of the cheaper benches wont, and you dont want it to come apart when your pushing your last rep! Although that bech for free would be ok if your just starting as you wont have spent anything if you do upgrade it further in to the future.
Thanks for the pointers.Originally Posted by fat2fit
I didnt think about the COMBINED weight!
I'm not that good at bench at the moment so I think 100kg will last quite a while. I already have another 50kg or so of weights at home too so I think I'll be okay for a while.

Associated Press
Authorities say the man accused of shooting a 2-year-old boy after an argument with his father outside of a grocery store has surrendered to police.
DeKalb County sheriff's officials tell WSB-TV (http://bit.ly/166nTG4 ) Chazerel Burton surrendered at the county jail Wednesday.
Police have said a good Samaritan tried intervening in an attempted mugging near a Kroger in Stone Mountain June 26 and was later involved in an argument with the suspect.
Police say the suspect later fired between eight and 10 shots into the man's parked car and wounded the boy in his abdomen.
The boy was hospitalized in stable condition, and it's unclear if Burton has an attorney.

'It is the most horrific time of your life, but they make it bearable'
Published at 13:54, Friday, 12 October 2012
You never want to use a hospice. "But it is a phenomenal facility and I'm so proud of the work they do," says Helen Skelton. The daredevil Blue Peter presenter speaks for thousands of Cumbrians and speaks from personal experience.
There is a pride, a respect and a deep-seated affection felt by Cumbrians for the hospices and the work they do.
You can tell by the numbers of people who take part in organised events to raise money and who go to the trouble of arranging their own fundraising trips or stunts to persuade us to donate.
Which is why the news this week that one of Cumbria's hospices is owed thousands of pounds by would-be fundraisers came as a shock to many.
More than 200 women who took part in a midnight walk still owe £16,000 in promised sponsorship to West Cumbria Hospice at home.
We all know the country is in a major recession and that finances are tightening for all of us, but it was alarming to hear that so much could be owed by so many to such a cherished, well respected and local charity.
Richard Murray, chairman of Hospice at Home Carlisle and North Lakeland, says every penny is needed.
"Almost 80 per cent of our income comes from charitable sources and we have to raise £11,500 a week to keep the charity standing still from what is a relatively small population," he explains.
The good news is that in recent years the care provided by hospices has gained a higher profile and wider appreciation and more of us now want to help.
"People have more experience of us and what we do and they think 'it could be me in the future, it is a good charity and one I want to contribute to' and we have a lot of loyal contributors."
Mr Murray says the charity spends 80 pence of every pound on patient care and is trying to become even more efficient as greater demands are expected in the future.
"The population is getting increasingly aged and there is a move from central government to base more health services in the community," he adds.
Helen Skelton knows how much every penny counts.
The patron of the Eden Valley Hospice says: "I have been involved ever since my grandma, Christina, passed away.
"She was ill for a long time. She was there for months, much longer than expected.
"It became her second home and the nurses were unbelievable.
"It is the most horrific time of your life, but they make it bearable.
"A friend of mine's child went for respite care and I said to the nurses 'I don't know how you can do this job, and come in day after day with smiles on your faces and not get depressed, it is the worst job in the world'.
"But they said 'it is the best job in the world because you are making someone's final moments the best and that is a great feeling'.
"That takes an amazing amount of character and dedication.
"You never want to use a hospice, but it is a phenomenal facility and I'm so proud of the work they do. People forget that it is charity- funded, the fact that they are even there is amazing."
Those personal donations are even more important in times of financial hardship.
The NHS contributes roughly 25 per cent of the funding needed by Eden Valley Hospice, a contribution that has not increased over the past three years, according to chief executive Janet Ferguson.
"Most of our funding comes from voluntary giving, we need to raise more than £2m every year.
"We need to be inventive and inspiring in different ways.
"The main thing is to have a variety of fundraising streams.
"Lots of people donate in memoriam, some people make a deliberate choice to buy in our shops or buy our cards."
The issue of assisted suicide hit the headlines again this week as it was reported that Michael Winner has been looking at ending his life in the Dignitas clinic in Switzerland.
The 76-year-old former movie director has been told by doctors he has 18 months to live.
Winner told The Times that people should have the choice of ending their own lives but he was put off by the drawn-out process at the euthanasia centre.
Janet Ferguson counters the idea of assisted suicide saying hospice care is about providing a quality of life, not death.
"It is about living, it is about supporting people as best you can so people have the best possible life."
Mr Murray adds: "Maybe people who seek euthanasia have not had access to the sort of care that might have made the end of their lives more meaningful.
"There is an awful lot you can do to make the end of life a more contented process."
When you walk through the adult unit at Eden Valley Hospice it doesn't take long to realise that it isn't a sombre place.
It's a caring and friendly rather than a clinical environment.
"Sometimes we're there just to listen or have a presence and sit with them," says Louise Wallace, clinical sister. "We are not here to judge.
"At times of stress things can be quite volatile and it's how you deal with someone who is angry.
"You have to have compassion."
There are eight single en-suite rooms with a sofa bed and one four-bedded room, all with French windows looking out into the garden, which is looked after by volunteers.
"We know we can't change what's going to happen," staff nurse Anthea Beattie says. "We will all go that extra mile in our jobs."
Patients are admitted for symptom control including managing pain, nausea and anxiety, planned respite to give the patient's carers a break and for the last days or weeks of a patient's life. Support is also offered to their families.
"It helps the patient if they know their family is being looked after," explains Rebecca Jenkinson, staff nurse.
"It is sad when people die but we are here to help them with that journey.
"It isn't a journey they've chosen and we are there to make it comfortable and dignified for them.
"We've got the time to sit with patients if they want."
Since it opened in 1991 more than 5,000 people have benefited from the care and support of the hospice.
At the beginning, it provided adult day care and then inpatient beds were created.
Last year there were 269 admissions, 55 per cent for symptom management, 30 per cent for end of life and 15 per cent for respite.
In 2000, a children's hospice opened with two overnight beds and day care but the overnight stay facility had to close due to financial and staffing reasons.
The Jigsaw Appeal raised funds for an expanded service and the Eden House development opened in 2007 to provide full children's hospice facilities for five beds.
It's the only children's hospice in Cumbria.
Rebecca has worked at the Hospice for 20 years and seen changes over that time.
"The Hospice has had to adapt and develop," she says. "I think advances in technology have meant a lot of people are living longer and we need more complex ways to look after them.
"People with conditions I used to look after in the Hospice are now looked after by their GP and in the community."

The Canada Geese here in Scarsdale are keeping the debate between village officials and animal advocates alive.
After word spread about the village's plan to kill the geese by the pond near the Scarsdale Library, residents, animal advocates and community members spoke out against the plan at a recent village meeting.
This week, Village Manager Alfred Gatta told Scarsdale Patch that "No final decision (has been made) yet, but we are again looking at alternatives with the hope that if we go in that direction there will be more success than the last time."
The village had previously used no-kill measures, including a border collie and noisemakers to handle the geese population and droppings by the pond, with no success.
Edita Birnkrant, NY Director of Friends of Animals, an international animal advocacy organization, said the group received "many calls and emails from upset and concerned Scarsdale residents over the town officials' plans to roundup and slaughter the geese at the pond behind the library."
Birnkrant said she urged Gatta and Jason Marra, Asst. Superintendent of Recreation, "to adopt the non-violent, proven strategies such as habitat and landscape modification at the pond and surrounding area, in addition to adopting policies and strategies to simply clean up goose droppings and foster tolerant attitudes towards geese and wildlife."
Stay tuned to Patch for more updates to this story.

The Tribune-Star
A fire at Deming Park on Thursday morning was the latest spark in a series of arsons battled by the Terre Haute Fire Department.
Arson investigator Norm Loudermilk told the Tribune-Star that at about 8:15 a.m., a set fire was discovered in the women's restroom, located west of the park swimming pool.
Fire Chief Jeff Fisher said only minor damage occurred to the cinderblock building. It appeared paper towels or toilet paper had been ignited.
Another fire occurred around 2:30 a.m. when firefighters were called to a residence in the 1600 block of Spruce Street.
Loudermilk said that the occupant of the home awoke to smoke, and found that a space heater had caught fire. The occupant tried to put out the fire, but it spread and he was forced to flee the home.
Firefighters arrived to find the home fully involved in the fire. Flames spread to a house next door, Fisher said, but firefighters were able to contain that blaze and save the structure.
About an hour later, THFD firefighters were called to a vacant house on North 15th Street near Tippecanoe. Loudermilk said that house was vacant, and had no electricity.
An investigation into the cause of that fire continues, but he speculated that fire might have began either accidentally by someone squatting inside the home and trying to stay warm, or by someone who intentionally set the fire.
Anyone with information about suspicious fires is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 238-STOP to provide information.

Question About Sorting
SaintlyStick Opening Act
edited January 2010 in The Rock Band Network
I was wondering if the icon next to songs downloaded from RBN will be new or if they'll keep the old DLC arrow. I seriously hope they make it like an "N" or something because I usually get bored scrolling through all my DLC songs and end up not even playing anything lol.
Plus it would be cool and easier to sort.
Plus it would be cool and easier to sort.
trg007 Your Ever Rocking RBN Forum Guru
Yeah, alphabetical. There's no way they could really implement the "difficulty within a difficulty" thing since songs are coming from all different people.MarsPhoenix;3424397 said:I'm guessing since the difficulties aren't tweak-able by decimals, they'll all be clumped together at the beginning of each difficulty setting (Nightmare, Impossible, etc), yes?
MarsPhoenix Opening ActWell from that one site that has searchable and sortable stats for Rock Band songs lists every song as having a difficulty of x.xxx so I was hoping we'd at least get to put songs in between RB2 disc songs in terms of difficulty. Oh well though, it's not really as big a blow as not being able to place sections, really. Which luckily isn't a very big blow either! Just a bit inconvenient.

WASHINGTON (AP) Ś A leading Republican senator said Sunday he would hold up Senate confirmation of President Barack ObamaÆs nominees to head the Pentagon and the CIA until the White House provided more answers about the Sept. 11 attack against a U.S. installation in Benghazi, Libya.
The White House took aim at South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a persistent critic of ObamaÆs response to the terrorist assault, by urging quick approval of the presidentÆs second-term national security team and scolding any lawmakers trying to ōplay politicsö with critical nominations.
Graham accused the White House of ōstonewallingö requests to release more information about the attack that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya. ōWeÆre going to get to the bottom of Benghazi,ö he told CBSÆōFace the Nation.ö
A Democratic colleague branded GrahamÆs threat to stall the nominations of former Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., to be defense secretary and John Brennan, ObamaÆs top counterterrorism adviser, to be CIA director as ōunprecedented and unwarranted.ö Senators should have the chance to vote on the fate of those nominees, said Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island.
The White House did not address GrahamÆs demand for more information, but did note that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified Thursday before Congress about the chaotic day of the Sept. 11 attack.
In January Graham had signaled he would delay BrennanÆs pick and told Fox News he would ōabsolutelyö block Hagel unless Panetta and Dempsey testified about the Benghazi attack. The senator said he was ōhappy as a clamö when he learned the hearing with Panetta and Dempsey had been scheduled.
Republicans have accused the Obama administration of an election-year cover-up of the attack and at the hearing several suggested the commander in chief was disengaged as Americans died.
ōWe know nothing about what the president did on the night of September 11th during a time of national crisis, and the American people need to know what their commander in chief did, if anything, during this eight-hour attack,ö Graham said on CBS.
Graham contended that a six-person rescue team was delayed from leaving the Benghazi airport because of problems ōwith the militias releasing them and a lot of bureaucratic snafus,ö and he said he wants to know whether Obama called any Libyan officials to expedite their mission.
ōI donÆt think we should allow Brennan to go forward for the CIA directorship, Hagel to be confirmed to secretary of defense until the White House gives us an accounting,ö Graham said, adding, ōWhat did he do that night? ThatÆs not unfair. The families need to know, the American people need to know.ö
Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for the White HouseÆs National Security Council, said, ōWe believe the Senate should act swiftly to confirm John Brennan and Sen. Hagel. These are critical national security positions and individual members shouldnÆt play politics with their nominations.ö
Reed said that ōto dwell on a tragic incident and use that to block people is not appropriate. To try to find information, to ask legitimate questions, as Senator Graham is doing is completely appropriate. But then to turn around and say, æIÆm going to disrupt, essentially, the nomination of two key members of the PresidentÆs Cabinet,Æ I donÆt think thatÆs appropriate, I donÆt think itÆs warranted, I think it is an overreaction that is not going to serve the best interest going forward of the national security of the United States.ö
Graham would have none of it.
ōIn a constitutional democracy, we need to know what our commander in chief was doing at a time of great crisis, and this White House has been stonewalling the Congress, and IÆm going to do everything I can to get to the bottom of this so weÆll learn from our mistakes and hold this president accountable for what I think is tremendous disengagement at a time of national security crisis,ö he said.
At the Senate hearing, Panetta testified that he and Dempsey were meeting with Obama when they first learned of the Libya assault. He said the president told them to deploy forces as quickly as possible. Graham asked whether Panetta spoke again to Obama after that first meeting. Panetta said no, but that the White House was in touch with military officials and aware of what was happening. At one point, Graham asked Panetta if he knew what time Obama went to sleep that night. The Pentagon chief said he did not.

During the Eagles' seven-game freefall, the 2012 season has been compared to a nightmare.
On Sunday night in Dallas, Dononvan McNabb believes that bad dream will only get worse.
"I think this will be a nightmare game," the former Eagle said on Thursday's edition of "Daily News Live."
And unfortunately for Nick Foles, this is not the ideal time to audition for the future. Why? Well, for many reasons.
"And now, when you're makeshifting different guys, there's no chemistry, there's no continuity, there's an identity problem with this team," McNabb said, "and I think it's only going to get worse before it gets better."
In two starts and three total games, Foles has a 59.6 completion percentage and a 65.3 quarterback rating. But with a patchwork offensive line, no LeSean McCoy and now no DeSean Jackson, Foles' chances at impressing have been diminished.
"You're playing against [Jay] Ratliff, you're playing against DeMarcus Ware, you're playing playing against [Anthony] Spencer," McNabb said. "You're playing against guys who are probably chomping at the bit at this particular point watching this offensive line.
"It's really bad for Nick Foles because this being his first year, and his first couple games getting under his belt, he's not really able to gain that confidence that he needs."

A 19-year-old thought he could scam a Fox Point judge into believing all his community service hours were in — but he didn't account for the sharp eye of a clerk who would notice the thief's misprints on the form.
According to the report:
The Fox Point teen was supposed to serve community service after previous run-ins with police. But when he turned in his paperwork that showed he completed his community service hours, a municipal clerk caught the fraudulent teacher name, incorrect logo, telephone and fax number, confirming its lack of authenticity.
An officer visited and spoke with an assistant principal who confirmed that the name, logo and contact numbers were fraudulent and the teen was ordered back to the police station.
As soon as he arrived, he was asked if he knew why he was there. Immediately, he replied, "The forged letter." He said he had completed three or four hours of community service but because he couldn't find a "steady gig," and his due date for the completion of his community service quickly approaching, he "panicked" and decided to forge a document. He said he didn't want to use the school's real telephone number because he wanted to distance himself from the actual school.
He was cited for unauthorized use of an entity's identifying information and ordered into the Milwaukee County District Attorney's office.
The ADA and Fox Point judge agreed the teen would be entered into a written felony diversion agreement, meaning he can avoid going to jail if he completes 150 valid hours of community service.

DURHAM — Duke's basketball players have learned a lot about themselves seven games into this season. That was the team consensus after the undefeated Blue Devils won its fifth Maui Invitational title Wednesday night.
Players talk about momentum, and for sixth-ranked Duke, they suggested the energy from the tournament in Hawaii returned with them.
That's what three wins in three days can do.
"When you're in fights like that and you come out on top, you learn about yourself," said sophomore Tyler Thornton, who hit two 3-pointers to push Duke to a 68-61 win over Kansas. "I think we learned we could play tough."
But momentum can change quickly, and the Blue Devils' nonconference schedule offers another test this week. Duke (7-0) will play its first road game Tuesday night against No. 3 Ohio State (6-0) in a Big Ten/ACC Challenge matchup (9:30 p.m., ESPN).
Duke freshman Austin Rivers said last week's tournament made Duke a different team, a group that had to evolve quickly under pressure against established programs.
"We have confidence, and we believe we're one of the top teams," Rivers said. "We grew so much (in Maui). Everybody is more together."
In order to remain undefeated, Duke will have to limit Ohio State sophomore forward Jared Sullinger. The 6-foot-9 preseason All-American is averaging 19 points and 11 rebounds.
"You have to stay between him and the basket," Mason Plumlee said of Sullinger. "He's a good free-throw shooter, so you can't bail him out with fouls, either."
"Last year, we could just give the ball to Kyrie (Irving) and Nolan (Smith), and basically we just played off those two guys," Thornton said. "This year, we have to use each other a lot more."
Rivers now realizes coach Mike Krzyzewski used the tournament to prepare the Blue Devils for its next challenge: beating their third Big Ten opponent.
"I think if we could beat Ohio State, that would take our confidence to a whole different level," Rivers said. "It would be huge."

My boyfriend and I love going to movies and back home in Los Angeles, it's a weekly ritual. While on vacation in England, we decided to splurge and try out a lounge theater experience for a Tuesday night screening of Kick-Ass 2.
The Lounge is beautiful and the service excellent. We had cocktails while waiting to be directed to our seats and then had dessert during the movie. The seats are...more
Theoretically we should split this listing. There's a standard Odeon at Whiteleys, but there's also The Lounge.
Tickets are pricey (£22) but in my opinion well worth it. Climb the stairs to the right of the main Odeon reception and you'll be transported into a super funky lounge bar. Add an hour on to your visit before the show to take advantage.
Seats are INSANE. Huge sofa-like things that...more
I went to see a movie at The Lounge, and the entire experience was incredible.
When I got to Odeon Whiteleys, I went upstairs to the lounge through a mirrored and wood paneled stairway. At booking, the fine print recommended that I arrive 30 minutes before the screening to enjoy the lounge area, so that's what I did. The lounge area was swanky with a bar as well as tables that had comfortable...more
This review is for the Odeon 'The Lounge'
I seriously love this place. It's far for me in any sense, but their nice comfy individual recliner seats (like the one that Rachel bought in Friends!!), good food served to your seat, drinks and snack that taste great. What is there not to love?
Besides, it's so much better that those crammed seats in Odeon Leicester square and it's pretty much the...more
Nearly £13 to see "up!" in 3d? And not even in the "special seats" (which i sat in anyway coz the cinema was empty)? plus £6.50 for the pop corn and water which I forgot to buy earlier (yup my fault)? For that price I expected someone to be gently waving a palm leave thing next to me and feeding me my pop corn.
Evidently I live in a different universe.

The Daily Item
WILLIAMSPORT -- Time was slowly but surely ticking away and Selinsgrove's Kaelan Sullivan had a direct kick just a few yards behind the edge of the 18-yard box.
The senior midfielder quickly set the ball down and tried to set a shot up with his Seal teammates, but the Lewisburg defense wasn't about to give anything up. As soon as the pass failed to materialize, the Green Dragons started celebrating as the final seconds ticked off the clock as they dog piled onto one another on the sideline as Sullivan just sat on the turf where he took his free kick.
The 2-1 thrilling victory for Lewisburg earned the Green Dragons their third consecutive District 4 Class AA title on Saturday night at Lancer Community Stadium in Loyalsock.
"It means a lot for me personally, because I feel like it's vindication. This was our goal all along and to come through and win in some of these tough games like this (was nice)," said first-year Lewisburg coach Skip Kratzer of the three-peat. "It all comes to fruition today and it's good to see."
After a scoreless first half, Selinsgrove (17-4) wasted little time in making things interesting when David Aurand took a through ball down the right side of the field and launched a rocket from about 10 yards out to the far post past Lewisburg freshman Logan Cho to make it a 1-0 game and give Selinsgrove some momentum.
You could say the shot woke up a sleeping dragon so to speak, however. Lewisburg (18-2-1) responded 15 minutes later with a huge play.
Max Reed took a through ball of his own from midfield and managed to get by two Selinsgrove defenders and tap the ball to his left and spin out. The sophomore then wasted no time, firing a shot to his right to tie the game up at 1-all.

Dondria's debut is a pretty strong climax in the ongoing saga of Jermaine Dupri's Living The Life web series. Let's face it, anyone with a flipcam or smartphone is likely to "vlog" or document their daily routine, but few are as worth their weight in pixels as JD recording critical moments with Mariah Carey, his Oceans 7 crew, and So So Def's promising songstress, Dondria.
Her mixtape Dondria Duets is choc full of killer remixes, like her response to Usher's "Lovers and Friends" and The-Dream's "Sweat It Out." One of her latest singles from her forthcoming album has Phatfffat (Dondria's alias) in the company of Johntá Austin and Diamond, her best of her duets yet. Hear the finished product from one of Jermaine's LTL episodes, after the jump.

When the students at return in a few weeks, they are in for a colorful surprise.
Youth artists at Arts Project have spent the last month working on interactive activities that have been painted onto the blacktop of the playground area of the school.
Earlier this spring, members of the Bernon Heights PTO approached RiverzEdge with the idea of creating something on the playground for the students. The PTO wanted to give the students something to do at recess. Their idea was to re-create a map of the United States that used to be on the playground, along with other activities that RiverzEdge participants could design. From there, RiverzEdge designed other activities and went to work on the blacktop.
Beginning in early July and finishing up the final touches last week, RiverzEdge youth artists braved the heat and created vibrant and fun activities that will bring energy and activity back to the playground. Now, students at Bernon Heights will have a map of the US to play on, along with "maze tag", 4 square, a basketball court, custom hopscotch, and "protractor run".
There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony, hosted by Principal George Nasuti on Wednesday, Aug. 22 at 2:30 p.m. at the school, located at 657 Logee St. in Woonsocket. All are welcome.

The Oakland Coliseum officially becomes the O.co Coliseum tomorrow.
Overstock.com announced today that it will debut the new name and signs that go along with it on Tuesday.
Not coincidentally U2 is playing at the Coliseum Tuesday night.
Overstock.com announced the naming rights deal with the stadium in April, a month after it announced it changed its domain name to O.co. It's a six-year deal for the naming rights to the home of the A's and Raiders. T
he deal pays about $7 million dollars over those six years. And that has caused some controversy in Oakland.
Overstock.com is changing its name to O.co tomorrow as well. Ad Age reports that ads featuring the new name will start airing after Father's Day.

For our Best-Performing Moneymaking Programs, go to the:

For our No-Sponsoring Programs, go to the:
"MPL Easy-Money System -- Cash-Back Programs"
For our Automatic Marketing Programs, go to the:
"MPL Easy-Marketing System."
1. Turn Your PC into an Automatic Money Machine! ...& Downline Builder... 365/24/7...
2. The MPL Automatic Marketing System (MAMS) can provide you with phenomenal Leverage -- by promoting just this One Page (your customized version), you can generate Multiple Growing Income Streams!
3. Most wannabe online moneymakers promote one moneymaking program at a time. That's like a train with just one wagon or boxcar. Promoting MPL is like driving a train with many wagons and boxcars. This is one way MAMS gives you more Leverage!
4. Use MAMS to promote any Primary Program(s) of your choice! (Three basic ways: (1) Build your MPL downline and treat it as a list to promote to; (2) Use the Marketing Programs we feature; (3) Use the Traffic Exchange Programs we feature.)
5. BGRSS may be among the most powerful personal success systems ever devised, because you can use it to identify the most important things to focus on to increase your future success. (If you've tried other success systems, and were disappointed, be sure to check out BGRSS!) Focusing on doing the things that provide you with the biggest returns for the effort you expend, gives you much more Leverage!
6. If, in the past, you've been disappointed with the lack of performance of most of your downline members, you may find that some of them will be able to become more successful if you introduce them to MPL. This could make a huge difference to your earnings. It could provide you with much more Leverage!
7. MPL provides you with the potential for "Unlimited Depth Earnings" with all the moneymaking programs featured on this page, as well as with any of your Primary Program(s) you promote via MAMS. This adds more Leverage to your earning ability!
8. Besides wealth, you may also be able to apply aspects of BGRSS to become healthier and happier... and to live longer!
As an example, JustBeenPaid! (JBP) effectively pays on 1 level. MAMS enables you to get paid indefinitely deep for JBP, as well as for all the other moneymaking programs on this page!
The MAMS provides you with the potential to get paid indefinitely deep (to an unlimited number of downline levels) for all these programs!
How is this possible?
As your MPL downline grows, it's very likely that some people in your MPL downline will not join all the programs featured on this page. Some MPL members have downlines that are 20 levels deep or more! Many of them have not joined all the programs featured on this page.
MPL uses a system called "referral flow-through." What this amounts to is that when MPL members are presented with a referral URL of a back-end program, they are given the referral URL of the nearest person in their MPL upline who has joined the program and entered his/her referral ID in MPL.
MPL members who don't join a back-end program (and don't enter their referral ID in MPL), are effectively "skipped" or "jumped over." This "skipping factor" creates the potential for you to be paid indefinitely deep with any of the MPL back-end programs you've joined (and for which you've entered your referral IDs in MPL)!
This can dramatically increase your earnings potential with the MPL back-end programs you've joined!
The mechanical steps are relatively simple:
That's it! Just do #1, #2, #3, #4 & #5... and the money rolls in!
For many, #5 is the Big Challenge! You may be able to use the MPL Automatic Marketing System to Improve Your "#5 Skills!"
Many programs provide theoretical projections along these lines:
5 people (1st level)
25 people (2nd level)
125 people (3rd level)
625 people (4th level)
3,125 people (5th level)
Or even:
10 people (1st level)
100 people (2nd level)
1,000 people (3rd level)
10,000 people (4th level)
100,000 people (5th level).
Then they calculate how much you can earn, based on such projections.
In practice, it often looks like this:
You (if you're highly productive)
100 people (1st level)
20 people (2nd level)
5 person (3rd level)
1 people (4th level)
0 people (5th level).
Suppose you become highly productive, and you get one highly productive person on each of your first 4 levels. Now your downline might look like this:
100 people (1st level)
120 people (2nd level)
120 people (3rd level)
120 people (4th level)
120 people (5th level).
Suppose you get two highly productive people on each of your first 4 levels. Now your downline might look like this:
100 people (1st level)
220 people (2nd level)
240 people (3rd level)
260 people (4th level)
280 people (5th level).
By regularly communicating with your downline members and sending them to your customized version of this page, you may be able to achieve a downline with a pyramid shape.
Can you imagine and/or calculate what difference this would make to your earnings?

The term "vehicle" refers to a program you "work," a product or service you sell, or a website you use to generate income in some other way.
So, to become successful at online moneymaking, you need to be a driver good enough to create a "Good Driver + Good Vehicle" solution.
Can you see that the Driver is the deciding factor? (A good driver can usually find a good vehicle! Also, a good driver knows that good vehicles can break down and/or go bad.)
During a TV appearance, legendary investor Warren Buffett was asked what he regarded as the most important thing people could do to become more successful. He said that you, yourself, are your own greatest asset; the more you invest in yourself, the better!
Note what Mike Dillard says about: "Success is 90% mental (getting your head right), and 10% mechanical (executing the business)."
Our second page is devoted mainly to personal development, in the form of our Basic Get-Real Success System section.
A most important self-development concept is "Make-or-Break Issue" (MBI). An MBI is something that tends to keep you stuck, and that you need to handle first if you want to become successful. If your car's engine is broken down, a new paint job won't get your car to run. The engine needs to be fixed first! (Many of the products and services that comprise the "self-help" / "self-improvement" / "self actualization" industry are really "attempted new paint jobs" that don't work very well for most people!
Another important self-development concept is Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt's "Theory of Constraints" -- if you fail in your attempts to make money online, there are factors that constrain you. Could be lack of marketing knowledge and skills. Could be that you need to devote 10 times more time to becoming successful, compared to the time you're currently spending.
Google "Theory of Constraints" for more details. There's a book on this topic: The Flip Side: Break Free of the Behaviors That Hold You Back by Flip Flippen.
You may want to look over the bottom half of this page to see if something "jumps out at you." There may be one or two things that constrain you most. What, if you were to handle it, would provide you with the greatest benefits most quickly and least expensively? See also:
Regarding online moneymaking, your level of competence can be seen as somewhere on a scale with Very Good Driver at the top and Very Bad Driver at the bottom. (Some Bad Drivers deceive themselves that they're Good Drivers. If you're making lots of money online, you're high on the scale; if you're not making money, then you're low on the scale. Don't kid yourself!)
Legendary businessman J.F. (Jim) Straw once wrote an article in which he said that only about 2% of people in business succeed. He effectively said that for the other 98% to succeed, they need to let go or overcome their Mediocrity.
Mediocrity is the "territory" below your Success Threshold. If you've been struggling to make money online, you may be able to apply the Success Techniques to rise above your Success Threshold!
Two Potent Failure Formulas:
#1: "I Can't = Failure
#2: Incompetene + Arrogance = Disaster
See PCAPS and Identify Your Failure Formula(s)!
The 98% who try to make money online but typically fail, could benefit from a solution. You may be in a position to provide them with a better solution than they can find anywhere else. Join MPL (and some of the other programs featured on this page), get your customized version of this page, and Send Visitors to It! (Most of the time, the 98% don't find any solutions elsewhere!)

In his book Multiple Streams of Income Robert Allen talks about "cracking the code." As prime example he gives the phrase "Nothing Down" which has been used to generate hundreds of millions in sales. The phrase "Nothing Down" is a "code" that appeals to people. Such a powerful "code" can make a huge difference to the response rates you get from your marketing efforts.
Above is the Alexa traffic chart for JustBeenPaid! (JBP). If this chart stays at a relatively high level or rises dramatically, it would indicate that JBP has "Cracked the Code!"
Cracking the Code Stacks the Deck in Your Favor!
Sometimes, a newly-launched program takes off like a rocket. Initially, a number of heavy hitters promote it to their lists. After a while their marketing tapers off and program growth slows down. This would result in a declining Alexa traffic chart. Mostly this is not a reason for concern. Only if the chart drops to the bottom of (or completely off) the chart, and stays very low, does it indicate that the program is stagnating or even dying.

Bigbooster7Million (BB7M) is FREE listbuilder, structured as a 3-wide forced matrix. It's different from a SafeList in that members can only email their downlines once a week, 15 levels deep. So the maximum number of emails a member can get during a week is about 15. (With SafeLists, members can receive dozens or even hundreds of emails every day.) BB7M also has some features similar to those of Free Viral.

#6: Traffic Testers
A big challenges of the Internet is that it provides you with virtually infinite choices. If you Google "advertising" you get over 400 million results. So there may be as many as 100 million places and ways to advertise. What if 99% of these places and ways don't work for what you're trying to advertise?
It's quite possible that you could spend a lot of time and money trying to advertise in various places and ways... and at the end of it you have nothing to show for your time, money, and/or efforts.
This is where TrafficTesters (TT) comes to the rescue. They provide you with places and ways to advertise that have been tested. They tell you what works and how well it works. They also tell you what hasn't worked.
A TT subscription costs just $25 per month. How much is it worth to you to know where and how to advertise and where and how not to advertise?
Knowing what advertising methods and places work best can be a major factor that helps you
Rise Above Your Success Threshold!
TT has an affiliate program that pays 50% commission. Sponsor 2 people, and they almost pay for your subscription. Sponsor 3 and you're in profit?
There are probably tens of millions of people trying to make money online. About 98% of them have little or no success. What if the ability to quickly find places and ways to advertise that work turns out to be the most important factor that propels them from failure to success?
Use MAMS to automatically generate your TT sales. Join Traffic Testers as an affiliate. Then enter your TT ID# in MPL.

Take advantage of FREE top-notch online training -- and/or make it available to your contacts. Frederick Mann's sponsor emailed him (edited):
"It goes through everything step by step with videos. The goal is for a person to make their first dollar online. It may be something you'd like to add to your website, if you haven't seen it already.
I'm recommending this as someone who is still going through the training. I find it to be everything as advertised, and more. It's the first thing I've come across that breaks down everything into bite-sized steps, a day at a time, although becoming competent in it will certainly take me more than 30 days -- but it's a start. I look forward to the time in my day when I do a lesson. I'm having fun with it!
There is no forced purchasing, where a person is forced to buy something in order to complete the course. Ed (the presenter) seems to be sincere, and he says he does this one month of the year to give something back to the community, as he makes plenty of money the other 11 months. So his motives are sound, in my opinion.
Using your "Internet baby" analogy (see "Discover & Confront Where You Are"), I would say this course could take a person from laying on their back, or maybe crawling, to taking their first faltering steps. That may not sound like much, but when you think about it, that may be the toughest ground to cover."

Question: Why Should I Read these Pages?
Answer #1: If you're one of the approximately 98% of people trying to make money online, who have enjoyed little or no success, then You May Find Better Solutions to Your Moneymaking Challenges Here, than Anywhere Else in the World!
Answer #2: If you're one of the approximately 2% of people who've enjoyed considerable success making money online, you may have experienced some disappointment and frustration with the lack of success of most of your downline members. You can send them to your customized version of this page. Some of them are likely to become more successful as a result. This will tend to increase both their and your own earnings. Some People You Send to Your Customized Version of this Page May Be Thankful to You for the Rest of Their Lives!
Question: I Understand that about 98% of People Trying to Make Money Online Enjoy Little or No Success. What Solutions Do You Provide to this Challenge?
Answer: Some "98%ers" can actually succeed with certain programs that require no sponsoring (and where earnings don't depend on spillover) such as those in the "MPL Easy-Money System."
Another part of our solution is to Find Programs for which the Code has been Cracked!
If increasingly large numbers of people are promoting a program, this shows up as a rising Alexa traffic chart. (If the chart levels off at a high level, this indicates that large numbers of people continue to promote the program.)
JustBeenPaid! is a great example of a Program for which the Code has been Cracked. The Alexa Chart for JBP suggests that significant numbers of people may be succeeding with the program.
Question: What's the Third Part of Your Solution?
Answer: A moneymaking program can be regarded as a "Vehicle that needs a Driver." Success requires the Combination of a Good Driver plus a Good Vehicle. This is further described in our Personal Development (PerDev) section.
Question: I understand that to make money with most programs, I would have to sponsor people, and that involves marketing. Do you offer a solution for people who don't want to get involved with marketing, selling, recruiting, and/or sponsoring?
Answer: Yes. See the "MPL Integrated Moneymaking System", the "MPL Easy-Money System", and the "MPL Easy-Marketing System."
Question: I Don't Want to Be Tied Down, Having to Surf Every Day; What Else Do You Offer?
Answer: You can make money with programs like JustBeenPaid! (JBP) and 6 Minutes to Riches without doing any surfing.
However, a better solution may be to organize things so you have a family member, friend, or business partner surf on your brhalf on those days when it's inconvenient for you to do the surfing yourself.
Question: What is MPL and How Does It Work?
Answer: MPL is short for MonsterPreLaunch. You could call MPL a "MetaProgram." It's ONE, FREE program you can use to participate in and promote a number of other programs. The "other programs" can be regarded as "Back-End Programs" to MPL.
Conceptually, MPL is similar to the Grin Marketing Team program, which can also be understood as a MetaProgram with multiple Back-End Programs.
By promoting just MPL, you can automatically promote as many of the Back-End Programs as you like. You can also use MPL as a "Generic Marketing System" to promote your own "Primary Program(s)."
When you Join MPL, you automatically get your own customized version of this page (the one you're looking at now), as well as MPL's other splash/referral pages. To get your customized versions, you first Join MPL for FREE!
Then you log into your MPL account, find the Back-End Programs you have joined under "Back-End Programs," and enter your Back-End Program IDs in MPL. You can join any of the Back-End Programs featured on this page at any time and then enter their referral IDs in MPL.
If you're already a member of any of the programs mentioned on this page, you don't have to join them again. Simply log into your MPL account and enter your program ID#s or usernames under "Back-End Programs."
Question: Do I Have to Join All the Programs Featured on this Page?
Answer: You can join as few or as many of the programs as you like. If you don't want to surf, you don't have to join any of the surf programs. If you do want to surf, the more surf programs you join the better. You can join them for FREE! For those you join, you need to enter your ID#s (or usernames) in MPL.
Question: I Find the Volume and Complexity of All This Confusing and Overwhelming; There are Thousands of Websites that Tell Me How Easy It Is to Make Money with their Systems; Why Do You Make Things so Complicated?
Answer #1: Many websites are primarily designed to take your money. Typically, what they offer doesn't work for about 98% of their customers (victims?) -- we try to provide solutions that give "98%ers" at least a chance for success.
Answer #2: We've identified Confusion and Overwhelm as two important reasons so many people fail at making money online. These and other factors are comprehensively addressed in our Sucess Techniques!.
The worst thing you can do when the road to success seems confusing and overwhelming is to just give up. Our solution to this challenge is the One-Small-Step Booster!.
Question: Does this system also have a social or humanitarian purpose?
Answer: Yes. In addition to "Personal Competence and Power Shift (PCAPS)" below, see Project "Learn to Think!".
Personal Competence and Power Shift (PCAPS)
"If you deliberately plan to be less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you will be deeply unhappy for the rest of your life. You will be evading your own capacities, your own possibilities." -- Abraham Maslow
Personal Incompetence & Powerlessness
Edited from an email from "R.T." to Frederick Mann:
"In all I've tried, I haven't made anything work. I'm not worth s_ _t for anything.
I've been searching, reading, and studying. I've seen sooooooooooo much, but I still know nothing!
I'm sad, depressed, obsessed, and fruitless...
I respectfully ask for your help. Can you help me... make more money? If you can, show me, I will do my part." -- R.T.
Personal Competence & Power
Edited from an email from "S.C." to Frederick Mann:
"I discovered your websites two years ago. At that point I was almost $20,000 in debt (my girlfriend was minus $50,000). I was convinced I had been effectively converted to slave status... Within two months I stopped all collection action on my girlfriend's debt. Within a year my own debt was completely eliminated and no longer did I view myself as a slave. As I approach the two-year anniversary [of my discovery of your websites], I can report that I now have $50,000 working for me, primarily offshore. My debt is zero! ...I'm not going to pretend that I owe it all to Frederick Mann or his websites, but at the same time... I can only encourage everyone to study diligently BuildFreedom.com, BigBooster.com, and their recommended readings." -- S.C.
Victim Mentality
Champion Mentality
Your Win-Lose Switch
Consider that you have a master "win-lose switch" in your mind. It's a graduated switch like those used for big direct-current electric motors. Rather than just "on" and "off" settings, it's a graduated switch with eleven settings from "0" to "10."
If you set your master switch to "zero," you are completely turned off -- a total loser. R.T. (above left), at the time he wrote his email, had set his "win-lose switch" to "zero!" The consequence is no money. The "98%ers" (who typically make little or no money online,) have set their "win-lose switches" to low levels.
If you set your master switch to "ten," you are the complete winner. S.C. (above right), at the time he wrote his email, had set his "win-lose switch" to a high level. The consequence is lots of money. The "2%ers" (who typically make good money online,) have set their "win-lose switches" to high levels.
How do you move your switch to a higher setting? In the case of the big DC motor, as the switch is turned up, more electricity is supplied and the motor runs faster. How do you turn up your switch, become more energetic, and take more effective action? See Personal Development, the "Navigation Bar" above, and the rest of this page.
Of course, there isn't just one master switch that measures the extent to which you win or lose in life. You can think in terms of a win-lose switch in every area of your life you care to specify. For example, you can think in terms of your health win-lose switch, your relationship win-lose switch, your Internet money-making win-lose switch, etc.
Your "Personal Competence and Power Shift (PCAPS)" consists of the Actions You Take to move your win-lose switches to higher levels. This may involve Shifting from a Victim Mentality to a Champion Mentality!
The Grin Marketing Team basically works the same way as MPL, but GRIN is structured and explained better. So, if you study GRIN and understand it, you should also understand MPL! (Within a month or so, MPL will be relaunched with a better name and an improved member area.)
Can you now understand the main benefits you can gain by utilizing MAMS?
Can you see that, for the programs (on this page) you've joined and entered your referral details for them in MPL, every interested visitor you send to this page can potentially join multiple programs under you? Can you appreciate the moneymaking power this gives you?
Can you see that, for the programs (on this page page) you don't join (or don't enter your referral details for them in MPL), some of the visitors you send to this page may join these programs under someone in your upline, skipping you? Can you appreciate How MAMS can provide you with "Unlimited Depth Earnings?"
Can you now read and understand the top half of this page?
Can you see that even a relatively minor improvement in the effectiveness of your downlines could produce a substantial increase in your earnings? What happens if, instead of about 2% of your downline members being successful, the percentage goes up to 5-10%, or even higher?
Suppose you sponsor just one person who can utilize BGRSS and MPL to become an effective online moneymaker. This could eventually result in hundreds or even thousands of people in your downlines... and enough money to retire!
Can you see that MPL and BGRSS provide you with this kind of potential?
You can make a distinction between "front-end" or "primary" marketing and "back-end" or "secondary" marketing.
The main purpose of Primary Marketing is to add prospects to your list(s). You do Primary Marketing to strangers and visitors to your web pages. You can offer them something free to induce them to "opt in" to your list(s). You may also get them to sign up for a free program that provides you access to their contact details. MPL is such a program.
Secondary Marketing involves promoting programs and/or products (for which members and/or buyers have to pay) REPEATEDLY to you list(s).
Promoting programs and/or products (for which members and/or buyers have to pay) to starngers -- without providing them with a free option to opt in -- is generally very inefficient. You basically get one shot at getting them to buy/pay. If they don't buy/pay, you usually never see them again.
Realize that the Internet is populated by tens of millions of wannabe moneymakers. About 98% of them are not making significant money. You're in a position to provide them with a way to become successful. Many of the programs featured on this page have forums. You can join the programs and their forums and post messages about how members may be able to utilize MPL to become more successful with their own programs (be sure to abide by the posting rules).
You can learn some important aspects of marketing by Joining 6 Minutes to Riches and studying its marketing training information. 6RM has sections for:
Thirty Day Challenge provides excellent FREE training.
Traffic Testers provides you with places to advertise that have been tested.
The Grin Marketing Team and Pay-It-Forward 4 Profits both provide excellent step-by-step marketing training. Also check out the other Marketing Programs.
You may be able to use the GEA Approach to snag a heavy hitter or two!
You can join some major Social Network sites. In each of your Profiles, you could include a prominent MAMS Notice, with a link to your customized version of this page!
For most people, the single most important online moneymaking skill is to send interested visitors to a web page like this one. To the extent that you apply BGRSS, you can acquire this skill. The more you elevate your PerDev, the more money you can earn. GO FOR IT!
The simplest program featured on this page is Free Viral. So it may be worth attempting to understand as much as you need to about how Free Viral works. Join Free Viral by performing the setup steps. If necessary, get someone familiar with online programs to sit next to you at your computer to assist you.
If you're already a member of any of the programs featured on this page, you don't have to join them again. Simply enter your referral IDs/usernames for them in MPL.
How much can you figure out about how Free Viral works? How much do you need to understand?
Next, how do you use or "work" Free Viral? In addition to using your dictionary where necessary, you may need to get someone familiar with online programs to sit next to you at your computer to assist you.
If you experience feelings of frustration, anger, helplessness, etc., you may want to use EFT to overcome them.
It may also be necessary to apply OSSB to gradually increase your understanding to the point that you can use Free Viral successfully.
It may also be worth Getting Expert Assistance!.
Next, you could join a few of the surf programs in the "MPL Easy-Money System." You can use them to learn to surf and to promote something automatically.
You could surf more than program at the same time, toggling between them.
If you haven't yet done so, Join MPL, log into your MPL account, find the programs you've joined under "Back-End Programs" in your MPL member area, and enter your referral IDs/usernames for each program.
Repeat the above for 6 Minutes to Riches. You'll need a PayPal account to make your three $5 payments. Then enter your 6 Minutes to Riches username in MPL.
Next you could join JustBeenPaid! (JBP). You'll need an AlertPay account for JBP. Fund your AlertPay account and make your $5 and $15 payments. Be sure to enter your referral IDs for programs in MPL under "Back-End Programs."
(6 Minutes to Riches also includes training on getting your own domain.)
Note that 6 Minutes to Riches involve one-time payments. This means that your risk or downside is limited. You combine small risk with high potential. This is an important consideration when deciding which programs you join.
See also Cracking the Code!
Another consideration is how payments are made. 6 Minutes to Riches and JustBeenPaid! have member-to-member payments. You don't depend on the company to pay you. You also don't have to wait for the company to pay you.
By now, presuming that you've checked out some of the contents of the member areas of the above programs, you should have a reasonable understanding of how they work. You may also have started promoting some of them individually. You can use the "MPL Easy-Marketing System."
You may also want to consider joining all the other programs featured on this page. Joining the Grin Marketing Team and studying the GRIN program should give you a good idea of how MPL works. For all the programs (featured on this MPL page) you join, enter your referral details for them in MPL.
Hopefully, you now understand enough about these programs to join as many as appropriate for you, and to make some money!
