WASHINGTON (AP) — In the run-up to a prime-time televised speech, President Barack Obama blended the threat of a military strike with the hope of a diplomatic solution Tuesday as he worked to rid Syria of an illicit stockpile of fearsome chemical weapons.
The administration and members of Congress, all skeptical of Syria's intentions, also looked to the United Nations as the Security Council arranged closed-door consultations on steps against the government of President Bashar Assad in Damascus.
While Obama made his case in person on Capitol Hill, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told a congressional hearing there was still a clear need to support the president's call for legislation authorizing a military strike.
"For this diplomatic option to have a chance at succeeding, the threat of a U.S. military action, the credible, real threat of U.S. military action, must continue," Hagel said.
At the same hearing, Secretary of State John Kerry said any diplomacy "cannot be a process of delay. This cannot be a process of avoidance."
He later added that any agreement must include binding consequences if Syria fails to comply, and lawmakers moved quickly to rewrite pending legislation along the same lines.
Obama himself "wasn't overly optimistic about" prospects for a solution at the U.N., said Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking Democrat, after his party's rank and file met privately for lunch in the Capitol with the president. He quoted Obama as saying that even if a credible plan could be worked out, it could be difficult to push through the U.N. Security Council.
The president readied his nationwide speech against a unpredictable chain of events stemming from a chemical weapons attack in the Damascus suburbs on Aug. 21 that the Obama administration swiftly blamed on Assad's government.

New Zealand Day 5
Our fifth day in New Zealand was spent entirely in Wellington. I woke up in the morning feeling extremely tired, and although we planned to start the day at 8am, I ended up sleeping till 10am!! Finally, we dragged ourselves out of bed, showered and changed before heading out for breakfast. Hubby suggested trying out Astoria which was quite near to our hotel…so off we went! The restaurant was packed with the late-breakfast crowd (don't these people have to work?!?) but we managed to get a small table outside with the pigeons…*grin*
After breakfast, we walked to Cable Car Lane to take the cable car up to the Botanic Gardens (it's very strange that what we commonly know as cable cars are called gondolas and trams are called cable cars in NZ!). We were lucky that the weather was really good on that day, even though the weather forecast the night before predicted rain! Hubby snapped some photos of the surroundings at the observation deck, after which, we proceeded to take a long long walk around the park.
First stop was Carter Observatory. Nothing much to see since it was daytime, but we did find a sundial on the floor. I immediately hopped over to test it out…all you have to do is to stand at the correct spot on the concrete slab in the floor which is imprinted with the months and dates with your back facing the sun, clasp your palms together and lift up your hands. The shadow of your fingertips will point to the correct time. So there I was, halfway doing a sun-salution pose while asking hubby "correct or not? correct or not?"…*grin* But yeah…it worked. Pretty accurate, actually! And while I was testing it, a couple of other tourists walked past and when we left, I turned back to see them trying it out too…LOL!
The rest of the walk took almost one to two hours, probably coz we kept stopping to take photos. By the time we reached the Lady Norwood Rose Gardens (which had no blooming roses coz it was winter!), we were almost back to street level, which means we could've actually bought a one way ticket up the cable car. But since we bought a return ticket, and *someone* didn't want to waste it…we trudged all the way up again, just to take the cable car down. *slaps forehead*
Back at the street level AGAIN, we walked along Lambton Quay, all the way down Willis Street and Taranaki Street towards Te Papa Museum. Along the way, we stopped by this Taiwanese Restaurant called Cha for lunch. As usual, it was sweet and sour pork for me, and hubby had duck and roast pork rice. Very yummy, indeed!
The LOTR Exhibition was being held at Te Papa for the second time since the shows were released, so we decided to buy tix for that. Unfortunately, no photography allowed…so no pics of the costumes, etc. I think a true LOTR fan would appreciate this exhibition, as there were so many things to see…costumes, the swords being used, video commentaries on the filming techniques, scaled down models of the battle scenes….it was a long long walk from the beginning to end!
After seeing the exhibition, we decided to go for the Time Warp ride. Actually, we didn't realize that it would be such a kiddie ride…though the sarcastic comment from the person we bought the tickets from should've alerted us…: "You know, there IS a museum here…". *blush* And what's worse, we bought tickets for BOTH rides…one was the Time Warp where you go forward in time while the other ride goes backwards. What's funny was that the only other person who went for the Time Warp was an adult as well…haha…and at one point, we all gave each other looks that silently said: "What the **** am I doing here and why did I waste money on this?!?". The ride ended up in a motion master thingy…and by the time I walked out, I declared that there was NO FREAKING WAY I'm going on the second ride! Luckily, hubby agreed, and we ended up spending a couple of minutes walking through some volcano/earthquake educational exhibition and then it was back out onto the streets of Wellington! It was dark and drizzling slightly outside, so we set off in a brisk walk back to the hotel for a short rest before dinner.
We had dinner at…guess where? Yes! We went back to Strawberry Fare and it was open…=))) For mains, hubby ordered their Porterhouse Steak while I had the pasta of the day: Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Penne Pasta. Hubby said the steak was good, but my pasta totally sucked. If I had to give an award for the worst pasta I've ever had…this would be a close second (the worst pasta award would be to all M'sian restaurants who put chilli padi into their pasta and not indicated it on the menu). Too creamy, the penne wasn't exactly al-dente…and…….wait for this……..
……the mushrooms were missing!!!!
But it's not like we were there for the mains.
Dessert! Woohoo! Going through their dessert menu was a pain…I wanted everything! We finally settled on Banaffi (yes, they spelt it like this) Pie for hubby and Warm Raspberry Drenched Chocolate Cake for me. The desserts arrived looking like a sculpture…literally too good to eat! But we didn't come all the way here to just stare at it…heheh…so we quickly dug in. I didn't try hubby's dessert, but mine was superb. Soft, warm, sweet…and it went so well with the tart raspberry sauce and cut tamarillo. I think I would've ordered another one if I wasn't so stuffed.
After dinner, we took one last drive around the city center before going back to the hotel for more E! Entertainment and much needed sleep.

Fernando Guillén dies: Pedro Almodóvar Collaborator, Goya Award winner for Don Juan in Hell
Fernando Guillén, a Spanish acting legend whose film, stage, and television career spanned close to six decades, died of cancer earlier today at a Madrid hospital. The Barcelona-born Guillén was 81 according to the daily El Mundo. (As per the IMDb, he was 80; born on Nov. 22, 1932.)
Curiously, Fernando Guillén became more active in Spanish cinema in the last three decades. Among his movies are three directed by Pedro Almodóvar: Law of the Desire (1987), in which Guillén plays the police investigator; the Academy Award-nominated Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988), as Carmen Maura's jerk ex-boyfriend; and the Oscar-winning All About My Mother (1999), as the Doctor featured in the play A Streetcar Named Desire starring Marisa Paredes as Blanche DuBois. (Correction: Penélope Cruz's father is played by Fernando Fernán Gómez.) [Photo: Fernando Guillén.]
Other Guillén movies include Pedro Costa's controversial El caso Almería (1984, "The Almeria Affair"), which dared to portray the Spanish military in a negative light, and featuring a young Antonio Banderas; the Pedro Olea-directed, Mario Camus-adapted Más allá del jardín (1996, "Beyond the Garden"), from a novel by Antonio Gala, and co-starring Concha Velasco; and a supporting role in Joaquín Oristrell's largely improvised comedy-drama With George Bush on My Mind / Los abajo firmantes (2003), which ridicules the Spanish government's decision to join the American-led invasion of Iraq.
Fernando Guillén: Goya winner
Fernando Guillén won the Spanish Academy's Best Actor Goya Award for his aging Don Juan in Gonzalo Suárez's Don Juan in Hell / Don Juan en los infiernos (1991). Additionally, Guillén was nominated for two other Goyas, both times in the Best Supporting Actor category: for Carlos Saura's The Dark Night of the Soul / La noche oscura (1990), starring Juan Diego, and Eduard Cortés' Otros días vendrán (2006, "Other Days Ahead"), starring All About My Mother's Cecilia Roth. The latter also earned Guillén a nomination for Spain's Cinema Writers Circle Awards.
Besides his work in front of the camera, Guillén also did voice work. He can be heard in the Spanish-language versions of movies such as Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Amélie, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, Wolfgang Petersen's Troy, and Andy and Lana Wachowski's The Matrix Reloaded.
Actors Cayetana Guillén Cuervo and Fernando Guillén Cuervo
Fernando Guillén was for a time married to actress Gemma Cuervo. Their two children, Cayetana Guillén Cuervo and Fernando Guillén Cuervo, became actors as well. Cayetana played the female lead in José Luis Garci's Oscar-nominated The Grandfather, in which her father has a supporting role as the mayor of small town on Spain's northern coast (Fernando Fernán Gómez has the title role in Garci's film). Among Fernando Guillén Cuervo's movies are Boca a Boca / Mouth to Mouth (1995), Bulgarian Lovers (2003), Quantum of Solace (2008), and Balada triste de trompeta / The Last Circus (2010).

Wow! We could not have been happier with our choice of staying at the Lazy Rabbit. It was such an enjoyable and relaxing experience. The grounds are covered with beautiful plants and vegetation and the cottage is so charming and comfortable. It is only about five minutes to downtown Marksville but is located right there on a beautiful bayou dotted with gorgeous cypress trees. It's truly like being in another world. We were treated to a springtime morning rain tapping on the tin roof which made sleeping in a must. We will return and when we do we are going to take Bill up on his offer to take us out in his boat.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. /quotes/zigman/216580/delayed/quotes/nls/amd AMD +0.79% extended gains for the fifth session to advance 7.3%, taking the crown as the best performer on the S&P 500 Index /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX +0.0061% . Last week, the company said it is putting up a 60-acre campus in Austin, Texas, for sale to raise up to $200 million.
December rally not a sure thing
Paul Vigna and Steven Russolillo discuss why there's no guarantee that stocks will rally at the end of the year.
Deckers Outdoor Corp. /quotes/zigman/33274590/delayed/quotes/nls/deck DECK +0.41% shares rose 11%. Sterne Agee analysts upgraded Deckers on Monday morning to buy from neutral.
Dell shares came off earlier highs to trade up 4.4%. Goldman Sachs upgraded the computer maker to buy from sell and lifted its price target to $13 from $9. Among the reasons for the upgrade, Goldman said the deep pessimism surrounding the sector has become consensus and sentiment and expectations could tilt positively in 2013.
Shares of Supervalu /quotes/zigman/242335/delayed/quotes/nls/svu SVU -0.84% climbed 13% following a report in The Wall Street Journal that said Cerberus Capital Management, which is already working on an acquisition of Supervalu, could be considering multiple options for the grocer. Citing a person familiar with the matter, the Journal reported there was talk of a deal to buy Supervalu's entire business, and then another to buy up its Albertsons stores. Parties were reportedly "actively negotiating" over the weekend, according to the report.
Verisign Inc. /quotes/zigman/66318/delayed/quotes/nls/vrsn VRSN +1.00% shares rose 5.1%, recovering from a 13% drop on Friday.
Bankrate Inc. /quotes/zigman/5437527/delayed/quotes/nls/rate RATE +1.05% shares declined 7.2% after RBC Capital Markets lowered the stock to sector perform from outperform. "We have yet to see any real sign of a turn in either the insurance or credit-card business; we don't think RATE will return to material growth anytime soon," RBC analysts wrote in a report.
Bankrate also was cut to hold from buy by Michael Graham at Canaccord Genuity.
Netflix Inc. /quotes/zigman/87598/delayed/quotes/nls/nflx NFLX +2.38% shares closed down 7%. Analysts at Wedbush said the company is not likely to record a profit in 2013 as its DVD business declines. "We continue to believe there are few catalysts for continued domestic streaming growth, as Netflix has already converted the vast majority of potential streaming subs on mobile devices, consoles, and smart TVs into paying subs," the analysts said.
They also do not see many potential suitors for the company and think the stock is overvalued.
Carl Icahn, who bought a 10% stake in Netflix in October, has hinted that he would like to see the company put itself up for sale.
Zynga /quotes/zigman/7720406/delayed/quotes/nls/znga ZNGA -0.17% shares slid 9.3% following reports of more high-level executive departures. Vice President Roy Sehgal and Steve Schreck, a general manager, are leaving the maker of social games. Sehgal is resigning to take time off work and Schreck is leaving to join a game startup founded by a Zynga alumnus, Mike Verdu, Bloomberg reported. See: Zynga executive Sehgal departs.

There were lots of regulars—the old men's club, firefighters, police, church groups, even the president of Lockheed ate at . So when the shop's namesake learned of the diner's closure it stirred up a lot of memories for her about the business she opened in 1969.
"I had great customers," Bobbi Thorne said in March when she spoke with Patch about her diner that was .
In a short stroll down memory lane Thorne—who had the surname Shepherd when she owned Bobbi's—recalled just some of the many locals who were frequent diners.
"There was a group of men, we called it the old men's club. It was maybe '75 and they were in their 80s. One by one they died," she said.
It was a place you went for comfort food like eggs over easy, crispy hash browns and comfort of another kind.
"You went there because they knew your name. It was like Cheers, really, but it wasn't a bar," Gary Jones said.
Sundays were especially busy thanks to a big church group, from a nearby Presbyterian church, she says, that would come in after services. Workers at said Bobbi's customers were often their customers as well; that same church group would often wander over to shop for plants after breakfast.
"They were like my family," Thorne said of her regulars. "When you have (a shop) for a long time you get to know everyone."
She remembers seeing the president of Lockheed, teachers and principals stop in often, and once held a contest for students in the area to design the look of the new menu.
"Saratoga High School won. They did a nice job. They got a prize; I gave them some money, but I forget what I gave them.
At accentuated by daily diners who ordered the same breakfast every morning and were greeted with a friendly hello and a hot breakfast.
"We would see them walking across the parking lot at 6:30 a.m. and we had their breakfast ready for them and at their seat by the time they sat down because we knew what they would order," she says.
She was around long enough to see couples marry, have children and watch their children grow.
"There was Bud who used to own the Shell station at Prospect and Saratoga. I remember when he met his wife and had twin boys, then when (the twins) went to high school," Thorne said.
And the children of Donny McKercher, her longtime cook's kids call her Grandma Bobbi.
She loved her customers, well, those she allowed to return that is.
"If I didn't like you, I'd kick you out. There were a few men who would be nasty to my waitresses and I wouldn't take that," she said.
Smoking wasn't tolerated by Thorne either.
"If you don't like it, don't come in. We don't need ya."
As a small business owner she worked a lot of long hours but as her own boss she adjusted her schedule to meet the needs of her own family.
"When I first got it I was open at nights for dinner. It just took too much and I was trying to raise the kids. It took me away from the kids so I decided just to do breakfast and lunch and hope and pray it works. It was more important to be with kids," she said.
Then when her daughter went to San Francisco State University and had Mondays off, Thorne closed the coffee shop on Mondays, too, so she could spend that day with her daughter.
Now everybody is grown and Thorne lives in Las Vegas, but made a recent quick visit to the area and stopped by the diner to see how it fared.
"Went by for a look. It sure is a mess," she said in an email.
Editor's note: and will call it said a banner should be up above on the shop soon announcing the signed lease and .

DOVER, Del. (WBOC) - Fourteen-year-old Christina Atkins died two years ago.
Her family said she was in a locked bathroom at Beebe Medical Center in Lewes giving a urine sample, when she had some sort of a medical emergency. What exactly that emergency was remains a mystery. Regardless, she was behind a locked door.
Court records indicate staff at Beebe could not quickly find a key to get into the bathroom, and by the time they did, it was too late.
Christina never recovered, and died a few days later.
Now, her family wants to prevent something like this from happening again through a bill called Christina's Law. They were in Dover this week for a house committee hearing on the bill. The bill received overwhelming support and now heads to the full house. It is the first step in a legislative process Christina's family hopes will end with a new law.
Bonnie Atkins, Christina's mother, still finds it hard to talk about that day at Beebe. She said she could hear Christina in trouble behind the bathroom door.
"I started to call her name," she recalled. "I started to pound on the door. I started to scream. I knew she was in trouble."
Bonnie said had she and hospital staff been able to get to Christina sooner, her daughter would still be alive.
"Absolutely," she said. "No doubt. There's no doubt in my mind she'd be alive today."
That is why she wants the new law to be put in place. It would require the Department of Health and Social Services to develop and implement rules for Delaware hospitals regarding quick access to a locked bathroom in an emergency.
Beebe now has red boxes with emergency keys right outside each of its bathrooms. COO Paul Minnick said the hospital is supportive of the bill.
"This bill is something that will continue to promote safety in patient care," he said.
Wayne Smith, with the Delaware Healthcare Association, said the bill is somewhat redundant due to federal regulations.
"I certainly understand the great sympathy behind legislation like this," Smith said. "I expect it to become law. But the public should be assured the necessary requirements are already in place."
Both the bill's sponsor and Bonnie had the same response to that.
"If they have a regulation in place that's supposed to take care of that, it failed," said Rep. Harvey Kenton, R-Milford.
"If there are procedures in place - my daughter is dead - so, they're inadequate," Bonnie said.
So, the Atkins family will continue to work for the bill.
"We have to have a first step," said Chris, Christina's father. "This going into law - Christina's law - would be that first step for us."
"I don't want another family to ever have to go through this kind of loss," said Bonnie, through tears. "That's our goal. That's what's driving us."
Beebe said even if the bill is redundant, that is fine, because the law would be in the interest of patient safety.
The hospital would not speak to Christina's case specifically, due to federal privacy regulations, and a pending lawsuit. The Atkins family said the lawsuit could go to mediation this summer.

Pinocchio pretended to be a real boy made of flesh and blood even though he was made of wood, just as I pretend that I have a real camera even though it is an old flip phone that takes grainy shaky photos. It isn't always the tools that get the shot, and you just have to make it with what you have while you have it.
My interests are in tags, and graffiti, things that will be gone tomorrow, sometimes viewed as trash and vandalism, even if it is a piece of garbage, I have an interest in snapping a photo with my little phone.

The price of long-term care insurance for women is rising, but there are still bargains.
If you have a long-term care policy and you're facing a rate increase, here are five ways to manage it.
The nation's largest long-term care insurance company wants to charge women more for living longer.
Buying long-term care insurance could deplete your savings without providing enough potential for benefit.
Uncle Sam increased the amount of long-term care insurance premiums that are tax-deductible, especially if you run a small business.

New baby boomer dilemma: Should you get tested for hepatitis C knowing the results may restrict your insurance options?
If you find the prospect of buying long-term care insurance daunting, you ought to try selling it these days. Beginning in 2011, an estimated 77 million baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964 started turning 65 and will continue to do so at a rate of 10,000 per day for the next 18 years. By

Was it better to have tried to solve a conundrum like long-term care insurance and lost than never to have tried at all? No doubt that's what the Obama administration and Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and her crew at Health and Human Services are wondering in the wake of last week's decision to shelve the search

WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) today issued the following statement regarding the short-term Continuing Resolution:
"Today, House Republicans unveiled a second Continuing Resolution (CR) that includes common-sense spending cuts to responsibly keep the government running for the next two weeks and avoid a shutdown. This short-term measure will reduce spending by $4 billion through terminations and reductions that the President called for in his budget request and zeroing out earmarks that had previously been funded. I call upon Senate Democrat Leaders Reid and Schumer to put an end to political showmanship and work with us to pass this important measure that will keep the government running in a fiscally responsible way.
"Reports started to appear yesterday that Senate Democrats may be willing to cut some spending in a long-term measure. We welcome the news that they are beginning to embrace the need to cut spending – especially as we continue to borrow nearly 40 cents of each dollar that we spend – and it shows how much Republicans are changing the culture in Washington. But, I'd caution my Senate Democrat colleagues to make sure that their cuts are significant and serious spending reduction proposals, not just minor efforts to trim around the edges. The 7 month CR that the House approved last week contains substantive spending reductions and is a necessary step to get our fiscal house in order so that we can foster an environment where can businesses can grow and create jobs.
"We again thank Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers and his Committee for their tireless work on this latest Continuing Resolution. This is a vitally important measure to prevent a government shutdown and we sincerely hope that Senate Democrats will join us in supporting this reasonable measure that contains cuts and terminations that they have voiced support for. Simply put, less government spending equals more private sector jobs – and that is exactly what our country needs right now."

Wine bars in Las Vegas? Suggestions
The Grape at Town Square is decent--I don't know how great their wine selection is, but it's cool to walk around Town Square and there are a bunch of other bars/restaurants there too. The Hostile Grape at the M Resort has the enomatic wine system where you get a wine debit card and can try a bunch of different stuff, which is pretty cool. I was there on a weekend and it was pretty packed, but that was right after it opened, so not sure if it's still that busy. The bar at Nora's Wine Bar over on Charleston and Rampart is cool...the same debit card idea...but it's not strictly a bar, there's a restaurant too. Hope that helps!
There's one at Mandalay Bay between Burgar Bar and Border Grill. I think the name is 55 Degrees. I haven't tried it yet, just pass it when we go to Burger Bar. It looks interesting and might be worth a try.

You're going to be disappointed kathyvegas.
Here is a link to the lame (but trendy) place that replaced 55 degrees.

LOL...Sit tight! My mission was on the schedule last night but was sidetracked against my will to an unspeakably horrible Italian place.....tomorrow is another day! Things have been changing so quickly in some spots on the Strip who knows..maybe next week it'll be a tequila bar.
Thanks again everyone... lots of choices to choose from. I didn't know there were that many. Grape Town has come up in conversation a couple of times today...maybe I'll try that one first. Love Nora's, have only been to Nora's on Flamingo so I'll check out the one on Charleston.
re: Lemoncaper
Here is one of the great things about Las Vegas - just about every restaurant on the Strip, and many off of it, are a wine bar waiting to happen. So instead of focusing on the "wine bar" concept, it could also be which particular restaurant(s) have the most comfortable bar settings, and whether or not appetizers and light grazing would be a part of the evening. Just some food for thought...
OK... So after reading all these post.s...last night we went to a wine bar (of sorts) and to somewhere not mentioned on here (someone in group suggeste The Wine Cellar at Rio ..it's beautiful there ! Not crowded and trendy. (I had the supet Tuscan flight #16). Not a restaurant... had some nice cheese, fruit and bread. Nice wines and experience all arround. Going to go to Nora's next weekend . Thanks everyone for suggestions and I'll keep the list.
I missed out on seeing this before your night out, but glad you had a good time. I just returned from a week in Vegas (working on my food report), and I would have to give a big thumbs up to The Hostile Grape (hate the name) at the new M Resort. The M is quite a ways off the Strip, but the resort does run a shuttle from the Fashion Show Mall out to the resort and back, so that makes it easier to visit.
The bar was very nice, and they have a very helpful staff who will consult with you and make recommendations. There is a full-service bar, but the real fun is the self-serve Enomatic machines around the bar. So you just purchase a plastic card, load it up with money, and then check out all the selections, swiping to purchase a pour of the ones you want to try. It's a great, fun way to try a lot of great wines - you can buy a "tasting" pour of many of the wines for only $2 - with less risk and investment.
As an aside, we always enjoy Enoteca San Marco, but on this trip I was a little disappointed with the by-the-glass selections...not as much variety as we've seen from them in the past.
At any rate, I'm glad to hear you had a great night out - maybe give The Hostile Grape a try on your next go 'round. We really enjoyed it and plan to go back on our next trip.

While the robots of Daft Punk, Beyoncé and Jay Z and Taylor-In-Training Kacey Musgraves are out celebrating their wins at tonight's Grammy Awards, we're beaming with pride for our very own You Oughta Know family. VH1′s roster of emerging artists past and present were nominated in 17 categories this year, with Lorde and Bruno Mars scooping up big trophies for Song of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, respectively.
VH1 Debuts "You Oughta Know" Compilation CD Exclusively At Whole Foods Market
Music lovers rejoice, because you oughta know that VH1 is releasing its very first You Oughta Know compilation CD! The monthly artist showcase has introduced many groundbreaking (and hit making) artists to the world, and now some of their finest tracks are all together on one disc!
If Paris Can't Bring The Civil Wars Back Together In "Dust To Dust," What Hope Do The Rest Of Us Have?
The Civil Wars are, sadly, still broken up. Nary a day goes by when we don't find ourselves wishing that John Paul White and Joy Williams could find a way to bury the proverbial hatchet (or even a literal one, if that would help!) and return to making music together. All is not lost, though, as evidenced by their latest video from their eponymous second album, "Dust To Dust."
SoundScanner: The Civil Wars Land Their First Number One Album
The Civil Wars may be in a civil war of their own, but that didn't stop them from topping this week's Nielsen SoundScan sales charts. Meanwhile, those unstoppable Now collections continue to sell, as does "Blurred Lines." #SoundScanner's look at the week in sales:
INTERVIEW: The Civil Wars' Joy Williams Discusses New Album And Band Hiatus
The Civil Wars have been living up to their namesake during these last few months. In November the duo announced an indefinite hiatus from touring due to "irreconcilable differences of ambition," and now Joy Williams is facing some inner turmoil of her own.
EXCLUSIVE: The Civil Wars Debut Their New Video For "Same Old, Same Old"
It's been nearly eight months since The Civil Wars announced their "internal discord and irreconcilable differences of ambition" and, quite frankly, we're still gutted by the news. Even though Joy Williams and John Paul White are no longer on speaking terms, there is a small silver lining for fans of the Grammy-winning duo: August 6 will see the release of The Civil Wars, the follow-up to the duo's much beloved 2011 debut. VH1 and CMT are excited to exclusively premiere the first video from this project, which is for the album's single, "Same Old, Same Old."
Grammys 2013: VH1 You Oughta Know Artists Take Home 7 Awards
You know how you always hear attendees at awards shows say that it's just nice to be nominated? While that sentiment certainly holds true for our pack of amazing VH1 You Oughta Know alumni who earned themselves 17 nominations at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards, the reality of the situation is that it feels even better to win. That's why we here at VH1 are bursting at the seams with pride tonight that our You Oughta Know family took home SEVEN GRAMMYS (!!!) at tonight's ceremonies, including honors in two of the Big Four Categories: Record Of The Year (Gotye's "Somebody I Used To Know") and Album of the Year (Mumford And Sons' Babel).
Grammys 2013: VH1 You Oughta Know Artists Earn 17 Nominations
Now that the BeyBowl is safely in the rearview mirror, we now turn our attention towards the 2013 Grammys, which will be airing live from Los Angeles this Sunday night, February 10. Just today, we learned that our You Oughta Know alumnus Bruno Mars is set to perform alongside Sting (which makes PERFECT sense when you consider that "Locked Out Of Heaven" sounds exactly like an old Police song), which is yet another in a long line of performances that we're looking forward to on Sunday. And while we're on the topic of You Oughta Know artists…
Our You Oughta Know alumni scored an impressive 17 nominations when the 2013 Grammy nominations were announced back in December, including four nominations in the big four categories. Our February 2012 YOK artist Gotye picked up a nomination for Record Of The Year for his song "Somebody I Used To Know," a song that he performed for a standing room only crowd in our 20th floor lobby earlier this year; our May 2012 You Oughta Know artist Ed Sheeran scored a nomination for Song Of The Year for his haunting ballad "The A Team"; our July pick, The Lumineers, were nominated for Best New Artist; and our YOK friends from way back in 2010, Mumford & Sons, picked up a nod in the Album Of The Year category for their massive new LP, Babel.
Here's a complete list of the 2013 Grammy awards that our awesome YOK alums are nominated for this weekend:

Relive The Magical Civil Wars Unplugged Set Over And Over Again
As we go to press tonight, the future of The Civil Wars is still very much up in the air. Back in November, the Grammy winning duo and You Oughta Know alumni abruptly canceled their planned slate of tour dates citing "internal discord and irreconcilable differences of ambition." However, December brought a shimmer of good news when the band's manager posted a photo to Instagram of the band in the studio working on new material. Our fingers and toes are beginning to cramp after having them crossed for the last few months in hopes that we haven't heard the last of John Paul White and Joy Williams, and today brought The Civil Wars faithful some more good news.
Today marks the release of The Civil Wars: Unplugged On VH1, a 7-song album that was recorded last spring when the band performed a knockout VH1 Unplugged set (while, we might add, Joy was pregnant). For the low low price of just five American dollars and 99 American cents, you can get your hands on a copy of the video AND audio of this truly memorable entry in the famed Unplugged canon. In addition to originals like "Barton Hollow" and "I've Got This Friend," the set includes remarkable covers of Portishead's "Sour Times" and Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" (the latter of which did not air in the original special!).

Christmas Come Early: The Civil Wars Are In The Studio, Hinting At New Music
Last month The Civil Wars left their growing cadre of fans brokenhearted when they cut their North American tour short over "internal discord and irreconcilable difference of ambition." However, we were touched by their generous return policy, and we were able to take solace in the fact that the announcement didn't disqualify new Civil Wars music in the future. And so it seems a little time off the road was all it took to reconcile ambitions, because as Rolling Stone points out, the duo seem to be back at work on new music!
It's not exactly an official announcement or anything, but last night Joy Williams let slip during a Twitter interview with Alison Sudol of A Fine Frenzy that she was in the studio and — better yet! — listening to new Civil Wars songs. Then later on in the evening, Williams' husband and the band's manager, Nate Yetton, posted a photo of a studio (above) with the caption that read "Today." Good thing that Mayan Apocalypse was a bust, because 2013 is shaping up quite nicely.

Welcome to my blog!
I am so excited that you're here sharing in my life.
Weddings are my passion and I've gotten the privilege to work with several wedding planners in the past year and even do a couple weddings myself for close friends and family. Right now I'm working towards a degree and being involved as much as I can in the organized and beautiful chaos that weddings are.
I post anything from sweet handmade gifts to wedding adventures and tips that I've learned through classes and personal experience being a bridesmaid, maid of honor, assistant, planner, guest, and everything that comes with that!
I hope that I can inspire you, entertain you, help you…anything for you!
Feel free to leave me feedback or just share your life with me right back. I'd love to hear from you!

Eclat Recordings | 24hrs Sleepy People | Selections Podcast
The fresh new EP from Eclat Recording is out today on Beatport: a three tracker delivered by the 24hrs Sleepy People including the house anthem Bright Day plus two remixes from Scary Grant and new Eclat artist Papovskij.
Get it here.
Few weeks ago I took the important decision to quit djing. I'm not quite sure if it's a definitive decision or one day I'll start spinning "records" again, but for sure it won't' be a short break. This decision doesn't involve my activity as a producer and label manager of Eclat Recordings that will go on… very slowly, but still going.
Whenever I tell someone about my new no-djing life everybody is really surprised and curious about that; I've been djing since 2001 and many people is used to think at me as a dj.
For this reason I decided to try to explain all the reasons behind this big change to answer all my friends questions. Maybe it can also lead to some interesting considerations about djing in general and here in Livorno (where I live).
The preface of this story is that everything starts and comes to an end at a certain point: and I welcome this. I know that I could be attached to the image of myself as a dj, but I also know that I will not be a dj forever (for sure) and maybe there's a moment when it's important to understand that's finished. And that "being finished" is not something bad to my eyes, because not djing will also mean to me having more free mental space and more time to do other beautiful things. That's more an approach to life for me, but it applies to djing as well.
Another important reason is that I'm not (or better… I wasn't) a professional dj, that means I wasn't living of that. I'm a web designer at Netseven.it and that's what gives me bread to eat, water to drink and some satisfaction as well. As you can understand this is a key point.
Also in the last years I've been djing mostly only in Livorno, in very small situations (small venues like bars) and after some times this has really changed my perspective: in these kind of situations there's not really an expectation for the dj and the music. People passes by and music is mostly something that hurts (usually the bar owner ask you to pump the volume to get the club-feeling, but it's too loud). In my context (Livorno) I never met a bar-owner or promoter who really understand how important the soundsystem is in electronic music, even at low levels: this results in broken speakers, not working subwoofers and rotten mixers as if the sound was the last thing. Even the crowd doesn't really realize the impact of a good PA but when the sound is good they start enjoying it more. Unfortunately this never happens around here.
In these small situations there is a very strong expectation on how many people "will you bring", that means that sometimes owners and promoter will ask you this and need and answer to understand your real value as a dj. And that's a critical point for me :)
I'm not a young dude anymore (38 to be precise) and as you can guess all my friend are more or less the same age: this translates in the fact that the 80% of the people I try to invite will stay home that night, the other 20% will pass by, early, for a short time with really no intention to have a long and dancing night. That's it, time passes by and people change their habits. Also some people that I call have really high expectations on PA quality and when they hear that broken woofer going "cra-cra" they suddenly think about leaving (I can't really blame them, I do the same).
You must understand that for many years (with Eclat first and Scary Grant later) I've been djing around Italy and Europe, in clubs and festivals where the expectation of the crowd for the dj was high, people knew about my project, they were interested in the set and danced to the next track. Being now in a situation where nobody really seems to care has become frustrating lowering the enthusiasm little by little. I'm used to dj to see people dancing and being in a situation where this rarely happens puts some pressure on me, trying to find the right track to make them shake their asses all the time with no or poor results. In a small area the level of enthusiasm is strictly connected to the personal relation the djs has with the people: if the dj has many friends around and they think "my friend is a cool dj" probably the party is done, but if you're not very well known or the kind of "cool guy" everybody knows (that I'm not) there won't be so much enthusiasm around you. You can't really rely only on music, that doesn't work. The "hype" thing works also at this level.
Another reason is the fact that I'm not a young kid anymore: when I see other djs of my same age playing in these small venues I don't really get a good feeling, I see them with their few "old" friends generally surrounded by younger kids and I see a kind of age-wall between them. Even though I'm the same age but I feel younger :) I'm afraid I'm playing the same role and I don't really feel comfortable with that. This is quite different when we talk about bigger venues (like clubs and festivals) but that's not the case here.
A few days ago I was contacted by a friend of Red Bull Music Academy to plan a gig in september. I've always loved everything connected to RBMA, there are very nice people involved (in Italy and Europe) and sometimes you ask yourself how they can select such nice guys. The Academy in Brasil (back in 2002) was a life changing experience, something that will stay in my top 10 for my whole life. As you can imagine saying "no, I'm not djing anymore" wasn't an easy task to do. With Red Bull you always play in good situations, well paid, good PA, people having fun. But I did it. I said "no". And it's a matter of respect for djing itself, for other djs and for people coming at that night. I like to be serious about things I'm doing and I know that I'm not listening to new releases anymore, I'm not going to record shops and not doing any activity that a dj usually does; I know (as I did it before) that in a couple of weeks I can buy some new releases and build up a decent dj set…. but that's not the way I like it to be: I'm very demanding when it comes to tracks, I don't like to just play the last hit and sometimes I listen to 1000 tracks to find one that I like if I'm lucky. And so this is a job you have to do all year round and not two weeks a year. Since I know it's full of djs out there and since I respect people coming to a RBMA event I prefer not to go, stay true to myself and respect what i consider to be an art.
Also club dynamics has become something I can hardly manage. I know how a club night works, the kids want more :) you start soft but at a certain point you must raise the pressure and make them scream… and it's a hard task for me now. I'm into more relaxed music, looking for a soft and balearic mood, still 4-on-the-floor but more "tranquilo-style" (cit. Popnebo). Having to keep the pressure high it's something that is not natural anymore for me and I've found myself playing tracks I didn't really feel to respond to what the crowd was demanding. That's what djing is all about, I know, but at least I'm free to take my decisions :)
That's it! As you can see there are a lot of reasons and considerations behind a decision that might sounds easy to take but has a lot behind. Probably there's also something more but I'm not quitting djing to write a novel:) So hopefully you'll understand and welcome my decision as I did.
Be true to yourself.

ST. LOUIS — When its deep group of veteran defensemen said "show me the money," the St. Louis Blues responded by reaching deep into the franchise vault.
For a combined $89.5 million, they locked up defenseman Alex Pietrangelo (seven years), Jay Bouwmeester (five years) and Kevin Shattenkirk (four years) to long contract extensions.
All three are puck-moving, minutes-eating skaters capable of quarterbacking an offense or the point on the power play.
Now mix in the hard edge of veterans Barret Jackman and Roman Polak and the versatility of veteran Jordan Leopold and it's easy to see why some feel the Blues have the deepest and one of the most talented defense corps in the NHL.
"There's six (NHL) players that have averaged half a point a game over the last three years and we have two of them," Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong said of Pietrangelo and Shattenkirk. "That's pretty impressive, and they're 23."
The future looks bright, but Pietrangelo and Shattenkirk --both high first-round draft picks -- already have valuable NHL experience under their skates.
This will be the fourth full season for both and they can only benefit even more from all that experience around them.
"We're a defense corps that prides ourselves first on taking care of our own end," Shattenkirk said. "We're a very close-knit group. We're the first ones to congratulate each other when we come off the ice for good defensive plays, because a lot of times those don't get noticed.
"That's something that we take a lot of pride in -- and that's the most important thing on the back end."
This kind of defensive depth came at a price and another former first-round pick, Ian Cole, is waiting for an opportunity to prove himself as well.
Don't overlook the backchecking provided by Blues forwards, eager to help the defensemen while pushing the team's transition game.
Pietrangelo's two-day contract holdout never was a distraction and he was as happy to be back as his teammates were to see him.
"He's got all facets of the game," Blues captain David Backes said. "He's a supreme talent, but he thinks the game well. He's able to contribute defensively by shutting down other team's top players, but also the offensive side of the game is where he really excel.
"To have a well rounded guy like that, that can play tons of minutes with the likes of the rest of our defense corps, that's one of our good strengths. We're going to lean on those guys a lot."
Having so many talented defensemen means not being forced to push one or two of them onto the ice for more than 30 minutes a night.
But still expect high minutes for players like Pietrangelo, who averaged 25 minutes, 7 seconds last season, Bouwmeester (averaged 23:24) and Shattenkirk (21:18). Jackman (19:19) also averaged nearly 20 minute a game.
The Blues added Bouwmeester and Leopold late last season hoping to add experience and depth on the back end. Both are back and hopeful of improving on their short stints of last spring.
"Those guys complement our team very well," Shattenkirk said. "Leopold was someone that came in with experience, he transitioned into this team very well because he was old enough and mature enough to do so.
"The same with Jay. Jay knew coming in here that it was a little bit different role for him, not being the top guy right away and having Petro here to play with. It's nice I think for him to have a little bit of that weight off his shoulders."

Today's update is a day later than usual, because of the expansion of the J-List office. Wednesday was the day the builders cut a hole in the wall between the old section and the new one, and we decided to close the office that day because of the noise, and move our update schedule back one day.
When you learn a language, there are always some things that are more complex than the language you're starting from. To study Spanish or French, for example, I'd have to deal with feminine and masculine nouns, which don't exist in English. In English, we use the words "wear" or "put on" for just about any kind of object of clothing you could think of, but the Japanese have several different words. For anything going on your legs or feet (shoes, pants, etc.) the verb for to wear is "haku." For shirts or dresses, the verb is "kiru" (the "ki" from this verb is part of the word kimono, which really just means "thing that you wear"). Put something on your hands, like a ring or gloves, and you use "suru" (lit. "to do), and anything worn on the head is "kaburu." Similarly, the Japanese have two concepts for cold, one for cold in the air around you, and another for things that are cold to the touch. If the air around you is cold, you use "samui," but if you're washing dishes in cold water, the word would be "tsumetai." Whichever word comes out of your mouth, it's pretty certain to be there wrong one for the situation you're in. Foreigners making mistakes like using the wrong word for cold sound "cute" to the Japanese.
Memorizing the names of the months in English must be difficult for Japanese, but it's easy going the other way -- the months in Japanese are all just numbers followed by the kanji for month (e.g. ichi-gatsu is January, ni-gatsu is February, etc.). They get their revenge, though: although the days of the month in Japanese are expressed with numbers, just like in English, there are special names for the first ten days of the month, which must be memorized, always a chore for gaijin learning Japanese. The days of the week are interesting, too -- each is associated with a kanji that represents the original European origin. The days of the week are Getsu-yobi (lit. "moon day"), Ka-yobi ("fire day" since the first character for Mars is "fire"), Sui-yobi ("water day," from the Japanese name for the planet Mercury), Moku-yobi ("wood day," from Jupiter), Kin-yobi ("gold day," from Venus), Do-yobi ("earth day," from Saturn), and Nichi-yobi ("sun day," from good old Sol).
Do you know what year it is? I often don't. In addition to the standard Western calendar, the Japanese have a unique system of counting years based on the reign of the current emperor. It's currently the 15th year of the Heisei era (Heisei means "accomplishment of peace"), which began when Emperor Hirohito died and was succeeded by his son, Akihito, so this year is Heisei 15. Before Heisei was the Showa era (from 1925 to 1988), before that was Taisho, and Meiji, and so on -- Japanese students have to memorize them all. When you live in Japan, you quickly learn your own birth year according to the Japanese system, since you need it to fill out various forms (I was born in Showa 43, e.g. 1968). Incidentally, the current Emperor of Japan is 125th in an unbroken line of emperors going back 2000 years. His name is Akihito, but since he's always called "Emperor Heisei" in Japan, it's quite common for Japanese to not know the name of their own emperor.

NAPA, Calif. (AP) — Here's a word that can still send chills through wine country: Prohibition.
The great temperance tryout, which ended 75 years ago this December, may not have done much to stop drinking, but it did succeed in putting a cork in America's burgeoning wine industry — and ushering in an era of plonk that lasted decades.
"There was a lot of wine made and drunk during Prohibition, but the standards were poor. It set things back very seriously," said Thomas C. Pinney, author of "A History of Wine in America."
With wraiths of the 1930s seemingly lurking around every corner — Stock panic! Bank failures! Cloche hats! — the appeal of repeal is particularly strong this year, with a number of bars and restaurants planning to mark the milestone.
"It's a great day of the year," said Jackson Cannon, bar manager of Boston-based Eastern Standard Kitchen & Drinks, which has been serving Prohibition-inspired cocktails all year and arranged a party to begin Dec. 4 and carry through to Dec. 5 — the official anniversary of repeal.
Even all these years later, there still are a few hangovers from the days when (officially) no liquor or wine was served at any time.
"Its lasting legacy has been a fundamental misunderstanding between use and abuse by the American public," said Eileen Fredrikson, a wine analyst with Woodside-based Gomberg, Fredrikson & Associates. "There are still places where wine on the table is just not part of the culture. People grow up with iced tea. They don't even think about wine as possibly an enhancement to a family meal."
On the legal side, repeal was orchestrated to let individual states set their own rules, creating a jumble of laws that continues to complicate wine shipping.
Still, Fredrikson plans to raise a glass to the 75th anniversary of repeal.

Oscar-Winning actress Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem are 4 1/2 months pregnant. The very private couple, who were married in July, are expecting their first child during the first part of 2011. Â Javier Bardem is excited about the prospects of being a father. Now, that she and Javier Bardem have disclosed their pregnancy, the news that Penelope Cruz is 4 1/2 months pregnant, quells the looming rumors of a baby bump.
The mystery revealed of the rumored "baby-bump"
The Academy Award-Winning actress Penelope Cruz concealed her pregnancy of 4 1/2 months because she and her spouse Javier Bardem are viciously private.  On a recent filming on the set of Johnny Depp's new "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides", Penelope Cruz donned a flowing top that concealed her baby bump.  Little did the paparazzi and onlookers know, Penelope Cruz was pregnant, now 4 1/2 months, according to CBS News.
To rule out any speculation stemming from the so-called-baby-bump that fueled speculation that Penolope Cruz was pregnant, her rep was consulted. Â The representative for the Academy Award-Winning couple, confirmed to People, that Penelope Cruz and her husband of two months, Javier Bardem, are 4 1/2 months pregnant with their first child.
From movie set to 4 1/2 months "baby-bump"
The 4 1/2 months pregnant actress, Penelope Cruz, 36, and Javier Bardem 41, met 18 years ago while on location for the film "Jamon, Jamon". Â After a long friendship and after starring aside one another in "Vicky Cristina Barcelona", a Woody Allen film, the couple began a private romance, according to the New York Daily News.
The now expecting mom-to-be won an Oscar that year for "Best Supporting Actress", while in the same year, Javier Bardem won "Best Supporting Actor" for his role in the 2007 film, 'No country for Old Men".
Bardem's sister, Monica, said of the 4 1/2 months pregnant couple, that they both love each other dearly based on their long time together. Â It would be only "natural" for them to have children. Â Now that Penelope Cruz is 4 1/2 pregnant, her legion of fans await the name and sex of the Academy Award-Winning duo's new baby.

I need some help with my n07 mini, so I headed over to the support forum, http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/, is it just me or does it look very messed up?
Even after creating an account the whole thing looks like a joke. How do you create a topic? Why do some/most buttons look so messed up.
Does this site work for anyone from a PC, (maybe it works on a mobile)?
Where else could I get some help regarding using my phone?
Anyway, just thought I'd moan a bit.

I help women navigate the realities of the workplace.
Yogi Berra said, "If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up some place else". This is especially true when it comes to your career!
Without a strategy and plan, you get caught up in the tasks of your daily work, focused on your to-do list without a greater vision of how to achieve what you want for your business and career. Without a plan, you get stuck in middle management and can't find your way to your full potential and more leadership responsibility and roles.
It's easy to use the excuse that the economy is terrible, that your job is a dead end or your boss is a jerk. There are some things that are out of your control, but what is really important is what you can do for yourself. You can control how others perceive you in the work environment. You can learn to communicate to others how you contribute to the organization. In short, you can be visible, take credit for your accomplishments, showcase your skills, and build your reputation both inside your company and outside your company to advance your career. This takes an intentional and strategic focus.
A strategic plan, your GPS, helps you navigate your way to reach your career goals.
Here are 10 steps to GPS your career:
You have a GPS in your car or on your phone. It's time to use one for your career!

Facebook video leads to teens' murder arrestsA teenager charged with the fatal beating last week of a Chicago man had a video of the attack on his cell phone when arrested Saturday, a video he also posted on his Facebook page, prosecutors said Monday. Malik Jones, 16, allegedly was playing a game called "pick 'em out and knock 'em out" when he punched Delfino Mora, 62, in his jaw, sending Mora to the ground, where the back of his head was cracked by concrete, a Cook County, Illinois, prosecutor told a judge during a hearing Monday.
Nicholas Ayala, 17, and Anthony Malcolm, 18, used Jones' cell phone camera to record the attack, picking up the "loud crack of his head hitting the cement," prosecutor's spokeswoman Tandra Simonton said.

"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."

Evaluation CoP Application
From Extension Collaborative Wiki
In early 2009, Ben Silliman and Heather Boyd, as co-leaders of this Community of Practice, submitted an application to the eXtension Professional Development Steering Committee to become officially recognized as an eXtension CoP. That application is available through the link below. After reviewing that application, the following message announced the decision of the Steering Committee:
Subject: Re: application for CoP in Evaluation
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2009 11:50:13 -0500
From: Lawrence Lippke
Organization: eXtension
To: Benjamin Silliman
Ben, I am pleased to report that the Professional Development Steering Committee has approved your application, and I look forward to working with you in coordinating eXtension support as outlined in the Application Procedures document.
As yours is the first recognized Professional Development Community of Practice, there are a few decisions the eXtension staff yet needs to make to best accommodate your needs and our commitment. Based on the recommendations of the eXtension Progress Review Panel, we are presently re-evaluating some of our technical infrastructure such as the number and purposes of web sites, so how we accommodate your PDCoP may be slightly different from what we once envisioned. Because you are a "pioneer" of sorts, we may have to feel our way along together. However, be assured that I will do what I can to support your efforts.
By cc of this message, I am informing the eXtension Leadership of this decision, and congratulate you on this recognition.
Lawrence A Lippke, PhD
Coordinator, Internal Communities of Practice

What You Need to Know. What You Can Do.
Where can I go for more information?
|Federal Government Agencies That Regulate Exposures to Carcinogens
Several federal agencies are charged with establishing permissible levels of exposure to chemical substances in the general environment, home, and workplace, and in food, water, and pharmaceuticals. These include the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
In many cases, more than one agency has the regulatory authority for a specific chemical, depending on its use and potential for human exposure. For example, pesticides are regulated by the EPA, FDA, USDA, and OSHA.
|Other Federal Agencies
Other Federal agencies such as the ASTSDR, NIEHS, NCI, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—which includes the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and the National Center for Environmental Health—are charged with generating scientific information that helps regulatory agencies make sound regulatory decisions.
|State and Local Health Departments
State government agencies also play a key role in establishing allowable exposure levels. The organizations dealing with environmental health issues vary widely among different states, but they usually include a Department of Health, a Department of the Environment, and an Occupational Health Department. For example, North Carolina has a Department of Environment and Natural Resources and a Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, most county health offices can direct you to the appropriate state officials for obtaining information about local emissions of chemicals and exposure prevention rules and guidelines.

Just ignore the message, it's just wallpaper... Doesn't block access or anything.
just saw you were referring to the model not connection
Lol, My3G aiding in hardware compatibility? Nice. Your reason to edit made me LOL.
I had been waiting for this since launch. I can finally skype on my phone rather than on the laptop. I always hated pulling the laptop out and my mom likes to skype once a week. AWESOME!
Lol, portability is everything!
Been a long time coming for sure
Its pretty good IMO
Compared to FaceTime what do you make of the Quality there, Stealth?
I think FaceTime is better
it works fine, but you need to close it all the way if you want to use your iphone's camera, it takes over and you get a blank screen when you try to se the regular camera
Used it just a while ago works perfect on wifi video was clear and will be testing it later on 3G with my niece on another country, will update you guys later cheers....
I cannot wait until the 2nd gen iPad comes out with the front panel camera. Imagine skype on the iPad when your chilling somewhere using My3G on your phone.
Looks like FaceTime it is.
By a long shot or not by much? :/
I tried it with my iphone 3gs and it did very well
i like skype now
Lol, I've always been skeptical with Skype. Hope it turns out great.
This has been long overdue, but i like how it works even without wifi.
However, FaceTime is still way better IMO. Much better call quality and you can move your chat window to wherever you want...I kinda like that as opposed to Skype's stationary one.
Loving it
