Born on June 15, 1985 in Derry, Northern Ireland, Nadine Coyle was a winning contestant on the British talent show Pop Stars: The Rivals, and won a place in the pop group Girls Aloud. In November 2010, she released a debut solo album, Insatiable.
Early Years
Singer Nadine Coyle was born on June 15, 1985 in Derry, Northern Ireland. Like her bandmates from the British pop group Girls Aloud, Coyle's musical fame came largely in 2002, when she was crowned a winning contestant by the British talent show Pop Stars: The Rivals. But unlike her groupmates, Coyle had been coronated before. The previous year, while attending Thornhill College, she entered the Irish version of Pop Stars, and was selected as a member of the musical group Six. It was later discovered, however, that at 17 years old, Coyle was under the permitted age to compete on the show, and the songstress had to return to the outskirts of Derry, Ireland to finish school.
Back at home, Coyle, along with her parents, Lillian and Niall, and sisters Charmaine and Rachael, all awaited the singer's next shot at the spotlight. Coyle would eventually compete in the United Kingdom's version of the show, impressing audience members with her powerhouse voice and earning a place in the winners circle, along with fellow female contestants Cheryl Cole, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh.
Girls Aloud
Together, they comprised the group Girls Aloud, and Coyle would spend the next seven years accumulating 20 Top 10 singles, including four songs and two albums that topped the U.K. charts. On her website, the artist once wrote: "When I thought of pop stardom, I imagined, and I still do have these same visions when I think about it, watching a Diva's Live concert in Vegas and seeing women in amazing long gowns singing their hearts out. The light show's amazing, the band are tight and the backing singers are going crazy. That's what my dream of being a singer was."
But Coyle's time at the top of the charts didn't last forever: In 2009, Girls Aloud announced that they would be taking a one-year hiatus, and by the summer of 2012, they still hadn't reunited. Coyle released her solo album, Insatiable, in November 2010. The album received lukewarm reviews from critics, and reached only No. 47 on the U.K. album charts.
Personal life
Coyle has been romantically linked to actor Jesse Metcalfe, and was briefly engaged to retired American football star Jason bell before the couple parted ways in June 2011.

Sunny day here in San Diego, and we're packed into the press box at Qualcomm Stadium. It's an open-air press box, so it's always fun to be able to soak in the full atmosphere of the game.
Like the Broncos, the Chargers have painted the field with an old-school feel, as well — the end zones are blue with white diamonds outlined in yellow, and the AFL's 50th anniversary logo is painted at midfield.
Players are on the field warming up, and there have already been sightings of the brown-and-white striped socks along with the brown and gold pants. Clearly we're in for an interesting uniform combination yet again.
Sad and scary scene to open the evening, though, as a long-time Chargers gameday employee fell from the press box to the level below — about 25 feet. It was announced that he has been taken to a nearby hospital, and medics were still administering CPR as he was taken away. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers, and if we hear any updates, we will let you know.
3:40 p.m. PDT: Looks like Robert Ayers, Marcus Thomas, Kenny Peterson, Daniel Graham, Brandon Marshall, Jack Williams, Renaldo Hill, Wesley Woodyard, Andra Davis, David Bruton, Darcel McBath, Tyler Polumbus, Russ Hochstein and Brandon Gorin are on the field warming up.
3:52 p.m. PDT: The Monday Night Football desk is set up just off the field — Stuart Scott is standing nearby, and Suzy Kolber is walking on the sideline. Fans are beginning to file into the stadium — there's a scattered crowd here at Qualcomm.
3:59 p.m. PDT: A couple notes about the Broncos on Monday Night Football, courtesy of the PR staff's always-superb pregame notes. This is the third time the Broncos and Chargers have met on MNF, and hold a 2-0 advantage. Denver has won three of its last four divisional games on MNF, however, including last season's 41-14 season-opening win at Oakland. The Broncos are 11-11-1 all-time in divisional matchups on MNF.
4:08 p.m. PDT: The jerseys aren't very spread out in San Diego. Every single fan in a jersey I've seen so far is either sporting Philip Rivers' No. 17, LaDainian Tomlinson's No. 21 or Shawne Merriman's No. 56. In the midst of it all, just spoted three fans in three different Broncos jerseys — one Champ Bailey, one Eddie Royal and one Alfred Williams. Oh, just spotted a couple Antonio Gates jerseys.
4:19 p.m. PDT: Brett Kern is on the field in the Broncos' white and brown get-up. Chargers punter Mike Scifres is donning San Diego's powder blue jersey and white pants.
4:26 p.m. PDT: Going down to the field to get some pregame photos courtesy of Zach Eisendrath. Right now it's the in-between period of warm-ups when the only uniformed players on the field are both teams' kicker and punter. Lonie Paxton is on the field with Kern and Matt Prater, as well.
4:28 p.m. PDT: Just got the inactives for today's game. Chris Baker, Brandon Gorin, Spencer Larsen, Brandon Lloyd, Kenny McKinley, Jarvis Moss and Seth Olsen will not dress for tonight's matchup. Tom Brandstater is inactive as well, listed as the team's third quarterback.
For the Chargers, LB Antwan Applewhite, WR Buster Davis, C Tyronne Green, C Nick Hardwick, DE-DT Vaughn Martin and FS C.J. Spillman are inactive. QB Charlie Whitehurst is inactive as well, listed as the team's third quarterback.
5:02 p.m. PDT: Here are photos from the field, thanks to Zach Eisendrath. We're not too far away from kickoff now.
5:03 p.m. PDT: Both teams are on the field — when the Broncos ran to form a huddle near the tunnel, some Chargers led by Merriman came over and for a minute there seemed to be a little jawing going back and forth as the two teams prepared for the clash. Get ready for some AFC West rivalry football.
5:20 p.m. PDT: Some skydivers just jumped into the stadium, and the seats are filling up as kickoff isn't far away. AC/DC is pumping through the speakers — "Thunderstruck" — and it's starting to feel more and more like Monday Night Football. But with it being so bright out, it doesn't quite feel like a night game yet.
5:32 p.m. PDT: The Chargers are introducing their offense — Tomlinson is the last man out of the tunnel. After plenty of pyrotechnics, it's time for the national anthem.
5:34 p.m. PDT: The captains are at midfield for the coin toss. The Chargers have won the coin toss and elect to receive. See you in the first-half live blog.

Christmas Tree Care

Christmas trees can be beautiful, whimsical, enchanting or they can be dry, brittle and appear ready to burst into flame at any second. Admit it, we've all forgotten to give the proper care to our lovely Blue Spruce and the needles have practically jumped off the tree. It really doesn't have to be that way if you follow this list of easy to remember tree tips:
- Buy your tree the day you are going to set it up, so it doesn't dry out while everyone decides where to put it. IF you must buy ahead, then put it in a shed or the garage in a bucket of warm water until you are ready for it.
- Cut about an inch or so off the bottom of the tree and trim any stray or long branches that are bent or hanging away from the main part of the tree.
- When you do decide to place your tree make sure it's not in front of a heating vent or any source of heat, such as a television or other appliance.
- Water, water and more water! DO NOT let the water level go below the base of the tree. Recruit everyone in the house to check it on and off throughout the day. Make a game of it and put up a colorful chart with each family member's name and who is suppose to water the tree each day! Let the motto be "The Christmas Tree won't dry out on my day!"
- Don't waste time and energy on adding things to your tree water. I researched this and there is no proof that corn syrup, bleach or any other additive prolongs the life of the cut tree more than clean, fresh water on a daily basis. The key is NOT to let the level fall below the end of the tree base. It should be covered at all times. Your tree stand should hold at least 1/2 gallon or more of water. If you have a tradition of adding corn syrup or bleach to your water there is probably no harm in doing so. Do be careful that kids and pets are kept away from any toxic additives such as bleach.
After you have your beautiful tree set up please be cautious of several things:
- Check all light and extension cords to make sure they are not broken or frayed.
- Do not use candles near your tree.
- Be sure the tree is secure! I have more than one horror story of trees falling over. ( Sorry Mom, I know I said I would never mention it again!) Take precautions again frisky dogs and busy kids.
- Never leave the house or go to bed with the tree lights plugged in.
Christmas Trees are one of my favorite Christmas traditions. Whether your kids choose an orphan Charlie Brown tree or you bring home King of the Trees to surprise your family, they are all special and unique to each Christmas celebration. Take of your tree, decorate it with love and creativity-the memories will live on forever!

The Center for Strategic Leadership hosted the second Using Sustainability to Build Stability in Africa: Strategic Policy Issues for the Army workshop at the Collins Center on 2-4 October 2007. This workshop series is sponsored by the Army Environmental Policy Institute and its partner organizations: U.S. Army War College Center for Strategic Leadership (CSL), the Africa Center for Strategic Studies (ACSS), the Environmental Change and Security Program of the Woodrow Wilson Center (WWC), and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Sustainability means meeting the demands placed on the system today without compromising the needs of future generations. Thus, the over consumption, abuse, or pollution of a country's natural resource base today will cause the country to fail when it cannot meet the demands placed upon the political system by future generations. The workshop series aims at to examine how the Army can leverage sustainability as an approach to engaging African nations. Working within the context of U.S. Africa Command's (USAFRICOM) strategic vision, sustainability provides an approach to engagement that will support the capacity of African militaries so that they may help civilian governments address sustainability issues and maintain the legitimacy necessary to prevent state failure and instability.
The U.S. has a number of strategically important national security interests in the security, stability, and development of Africa, including maintaining access to resources, maintaining U.S. influence in the region, and the denial of safe havens to international terrorists. The primary challenge to each of these interests is the persistent specter of political and societal instability. By using the concept of sustainability as an approach to engagement in Africa, the Army, through its participation in the new USAFRICOM, can address the underlying conditions that lead to instability and protect vital U.S. interests on the continent. As stated in the Army Strategy for the Environment, "Local and regional issues, such as famine, natural disasters, ecological degradation, economic decline, political upheaval, and disputes over precious and sometimes scarce natural resources are evolving into global issues that influence how the United States must respond and interact through political, economic, and when necessary, military engagement."
This most recent workshop is part of a series to examine how the Army can use the concept of sustainability as an approach to engagement activities in Africa. The series is focused on identifying opportunities for leveraging sustainability to further U.S. capacity building, security, stability, and development objectives on the continent, and to identify policy requirements to take advantage of those opportunities.
The first workshop, Factors Shaping the Strategic Environment in Africa, was held 18-19 July 2007 at the U.S. Army War College. A diverse group of stakeholders discussed why Africa is important to U.S. foreign policy and the issues that are currently shaping the strategic environment in Africa. The workshop brought together speakers and participants from the WWC, USAID, the Department of State, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Army Staff, the U.S. Army Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute (PKSOI), Deputy Under Secretary of Defense, Installations and Environment (I&E), the U.S. Military Academy, the Air War College, Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) for Policy (Africa), OSD Policy (Humanitarian Affairs/Disaster Relief), and the U.S. Forest Service.
Key Points from Workshop #1
The second workshop, Building a Dialogue for Using Sustainability as an Approach to Engagement, had an equally diverse group of senior officials and stakeholders that included the U.S. European Command/Africa Command, OSD for Policy (Africa), Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army, Environmental Safety and Occupational Health (ESOH), U.S. Geological Survey, Bureau of Ocean, Environment, and Science from the State Department, Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (I&E) ERS, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, PKSOI, numerous academic institutions, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and private sector representatives. Discussions focused on:
Key Points from Workshop #2
The presentations and discussion of the second workshop brought out a number of key points.
The Role of Engagement in Africa
Through early, active, and persistent capacity building engagement with partners on the continent, USAFRICOM will be able to address destabilizing issues and limit the occurrence or escalation of threats to U.S. interests and coalition partners in Africa. Engagement should be preventive in nature, addressing issues when they are more manageable in terms of the resources required and the immediate consequences to the affected nations and societies. Sustainability has the potential to enhance USAFRICOM's Theater Security Cooperation Plan.
Sustainability as an Approach to Engagement and as a Protector of U.S. Interests
Sustainability in Africa is a national security issue because it relates directly to the stability of the respective nations. States that can sustain their economic growth and diversification, social development, democratic maturation, and their natural resources and service base will maintain their legitimacy and be more stable than states that have difficulty managing these same issues. Sustainability is a catalytic concept with the potential to build partnerships of NGOs, militaries, other governmental agencies, and the private sector to achieve the strategic effect of stability; it is key to protecting U.S. strategic interests in Africa. Political instability is the primary challenge to the United States in the post-Cold War strategic environment, in part because it feeds the root causes and underlying conditions of issues such as terrorism, narcotics trafficking, and other illegal activities that erode and degrade the human condition.
Environment and Sustainability
Sustainability recognizes the importance of a suitable balance between the long-term viability of the environment and the use of natural resources; the importance of economic development and valuation of ecosystems; and concern for community and related equity in the distribution of resources. It remains a dynamic concept and may have different meanings in different contexts. Sustainability strives to satisfy the legitimate interests of different stakeholders, not only by providing an equitable distribution of resources today, but by ensuring that these resources will be available to support future generations. The Army views sustainability through a "triple bottom line" lens (Mission-Environment-Community) that recognizes the importance of simultaneously meeting current and future mission requirements worldwide, safeguarding human health, improving quality of life, and enhancing the natural environment.
Human Security and National Security in Africa
A key feature in the strategic environment in Africa is the importance of human security relative to the traditional national security issues that are of importance in the West and the developed world in general. Africans view their security as more closely tied to the security of individual lives in terms of the ability to address food, shelter, disease and education on a regular basis. The differences between the African and U.S. views of security are key to understanding and addressing common issues and opportunities for cooperation. Given the unique nature of the African continent, USAFRICOM will need to take a different approach to its engagement program development than the other Combatant Commands.
The Impact of Global Climate Change on Africa
Climate change is a critical issue in Africa where it is more likely to exacerbate tensions over natural resource and health issues, radical Islam, reconstruction and stabilization, and create significant legitimacy issues for weak or failing state. Swings in agricultural production, the availability of food resources and prices for commodity products on world markets will become more difficult to manage and challenge the legitimacy of democratically elected governments. Sustainability offers an opportunity for defense cooperation between regional states on significant sustainability issues of common interest. This opportunity can enhance governmental legitimacy, diminish conditions terrorists seek to exploit, reduce regional instability, and enhance U.S. access and influence.

how to rip dvds to play on ipad 3 full screen
Is that a question or a statement? There are lots of software packages around that allow you to copy your personally owned DVDs to your Mac - some are free, like HandBrake, some cost. Just rip it to your Mac and then hotsync your New iPad to the Mac with iTunes.

What's with the full screen stuff? If the movie is not shot in 4:3 format (most are not) then there will be bars on the top/bottom. If you crop it to get full screen, then you are chopping off info on the sides. You can't just start chopping off the sides of a movie with risk of cutting out something you want to see, that the directly put at the left/right ends of the screen. I've seen some films with scenes where the characters are at opposite edges of the screen. If you arbitrarily chop of the edges to get full screen, then you lose the actually content in those scenes. If you view the film with bars at top/bottom, then you are actually seeing what was intended to be seen, though it will appear smaller. Sit closer or watch on a bigger screen. 10-inches is not optimal for movie watching.

Question 1: If an item of construction equipment which weighs less than 4,536 kg (10,000 lb.) is transported on a flatbed or drop-deck trailer, must the accessory equipment be lowered to the deck of the trailer?
Guidance: No. However, the accessory equipment must be properly secured using locking pins or similar devices in order to prevent either the accessory equipment or the item of construction equipment itself from shifting during transport.
Question 2: How should I secure the accessories for an item of construction equipment which weighs 4,536 kg (10,000 lb.) or more, if the accessory devices would extend beyond the width of the trailer if they are lowered to the deck for transport?
Guidance: The accessory devices (plows, trencher bars, and the like) may be transported in a raised position, provided they are designed to be transported in that manner. However, the accessory equipment must be locked in place for transport to ensure that neither the accessories nor the equipment itself shifts during transport.
Question 3: A tractor loader-backhoe weighing over 10,000 pounds is being transported on a trailer. The loader and backhoe accessories are each equipped with locking devices or mechanisms that prevent them from moving up and down and from side-to-side while the construction equipment is being transported on the trailer. Must these accessories also be secured to the trailer with chains?
Guidance: No. However, if the construction equipment does not have a means of preventing the loader bucket, backhoe, or similar accessories from moving while it is being transported on the trailer, then a chain would be required to secure those accessories to the trailer.

No one made them buy a phone that couldn't be jailbroken, there's always a choice
I am so excited...
can some one help me out here my 3gs upgrade in itunes to 3.1.3 niether jailbreak and its lock is there a jailbreak for that plssssssss help me
I agree, I'm so tempted to make the switch to the nexus because I will not wait 2-3 months thats for sure.This is nice to hear. However I won't wait 2-3 months for a jailbreak. I was enjoying my jailbroken 3gs that I bought release day. It could be restored to 3.0 any tine I chose to. Then it just died on me. Had no choice but to get a replacement. Wouldn't you know 3.1.3. If the jailbreak isn't released soon it's so long iPhone. I've paid a lot for apps that I can't use now.
So it's good news that 4.0 can be jailbroken but release it for 3.1.3 already. I'm sure I'm not the only person that had to get a replacement.
the only point of 3.1.3 was some 3gs users have problems with their battery level display being inacurate. thats what i meant.
"Jailbreaks are coming thick and fast these days "
Err I like loads of others are stuck on 3.13 and have been for months,so where was that jailbreak , I must of missed that,they must be going so fast
Anyone who has a CarPC can control their iPhone through VNC. Just like having a CARiPhone... Now I wish they made an affordable 7" lcd with capacitive touch for my car...
On the iPhone: I make it ra1n on them...iPads
Geohot does it again!
Oh my... Looks like it's time to finally order one..
hmmm....like its said. nothings really shown. theyre really keeping this close to pocket these days.
Is this true if i update to beta 4.0 today, and when full version exit in summer i will unable to do jailbreak?
thats cool in all but, i don't quite understand how they are jailbreaking 0S beta 4.0 when we still have ppl thats can't have there 3GS or 3rd Gen iPod Touch jailbroken on 3.1.3. Don't get me wrong I love the fact that they found the loop but one its on the old device, and more likely when the new device comes out its gonna have some type of code blocking that jailbreak......Not saying the they will not stop us from jailbreaking but will take a while..But as I said above, how about fixing or finding a solution to 3.1.3 to the ones that are unfortunate...
I wouldnt even attempt running a 4.0 beta, there usually very buggy and could cause u problems
I love ur point bro cause am stuck on 3.1.3 fw 3gs and i cant jailbreak nor unlock thats sucks and they talkin about 4.0 damn can some one find the jailbreak for 3.1.3
thanks i'll try not to put as many dots next time so i wont look like a 10 years old?? i hope that wasn't a diss? was it me....
4.0 for 3G is useless. Is there a way to get 3GS OS on 3G?

By now you may be overcome with excitement that the ever-inevitable-but-not-quite-tangible Verizon iPhone is here. Yes, finally, for the love of Pete, it's arrived. Time to buy it, right? Not so fast, hot shot. Before you buy the thing (and by the looks of it, it's quite a worthy phone), there are five reasons why you might want to wait, at least until June.
1. Verizon is pushing 4G, but iPhone is 3G
Verizon's chief priority for 2011 is to launch a 4G network that's faster and more reliable than the competition. Their showing at CES proves that they have the momentum and wherewithal to do this, and so far, the network itself seems to live up to the hype. Best of all, there are four Android phones slated to arrive by mid-year intended to navigate the waters of Verizon's LTE network like cigarette boats. So why do you want to stay in a 3G canoe?
2. Verizon's 3G is actually slower than AT&T's 3G
While I can state from years of testing and field experience that Verizon offers a more reliable 3G network, it really isn't as fast as AT&T's. Speed isn't everything, and what good is speed when the connection is poor? But still, you should know this, especially if you love streaming Netflix to your phone.
3. The iPhone might have inherent phone flaws
The iPhone has never been a great "phone." Its dropped calls are the stuff of legend. Its acolytes ignore the flaw with a stiff upper lip, instead praising its more reliable data-rich features. But the dropped calls are real. So, the question is, are they a network thing or a device thing?
Apple is content to let the blame fall on AT&T, but last summer's "Antennagate" showed that there's plenty of finger pointing to go around. I suspect it's a little of both, which is why I intend to test the Verizon iPhone carefully before letting any loved ones buy in.
4. The iPhone can't run voice and data simultaneously
While the technical separation of Verizon's voice and data networks may end up being a reason it drops fewer calls, this is viewed as a flaw by some people who wish to browse the Web while chatting. It's not as anti-social as it sounds: What if the person you're talking to really wants to see a movie with you ASAP? Someone's gotta Fandango that bizness.
5. iPhone 5 is due in June
Like Pavlov's tinkling bell, Steve Jobs' last four early summer iPhone news conferences have programmed iPhone enthusiasts to salivate as the weather gets balmier. This year won't be any different, given the financial power of the annual refresh for Apple, not to mention the fact that carriers all over the world literally bank on it.
The only mystery here in the United States is whether or not there will be a radio chipset in the fifth iPhone that lets it run on both the Verizon and AT&T network. A unified iPhone 5 makes sense, especially if it also supports 4G LTE data. But it would also make a whole lot of early Verizon iPhone buyers angry enough to grab pitchforks and torches. How Apple and Verizon will address this, maintaining both sales and customer confidence, is a true puzzlement.
Now that you know the five reasons not to buy one now, feel free to get in line, money in hand. Believe me, for gadget lovers who swear by Verizon's network, there's no shame in lusting, provided you enter into the transaction as an informed consumer.

"My love affair with the Finger Lakes started several years ago as a frequent visitor to the region and now I can't help but marvel at what a gift I have been given to promote such a unique area. I know how much the destination has to offer—it's my job to help spread the word! I grew up in Rockville, MD; lived many places—including Virginia, DC, Texas and Connecticut—and I raised my two children in Hershey, PA, but I am thrilled to now call the Finger Lakes my home. In my role as president, I direct our team with the creation and implementation of all Finger Lakes Wine Country programs and initiatives to promote economic development in the region. When I'm not wearing my tourism hat, I'm likely outside, donning my hiking boots or gardening gloves." Team member since 2013 and holds a B.S. degree in Journalism with a concentration in Public Relations from the Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism at West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV. Christina Roberts, Director of Media Relations & Marketing Programs Email | Linkedin | Twitter Direct: 607-936-0704 | Mobile: 607-426-1231 "I always took growing up in Finger Lakes Wine Country for granted. It wasn't until I moved away that I realized what I'd left behind. A classic case of "you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone". Although it was always my dream to work in New York City, it was after I decided to move back home that I truly put my knowledge to work and actually enjoyed it. I handle the marketing programs and media relations here and love it. I am the ever-optimistic, bubbly type and a redhead to boot (you do the math). Outside of work I love shopping for a good deal, going to the movies, spending time with family, and will never turn down pizza or ice cream. Best part of my job? I fall in love with this region I call home all over again every single day." Team member since January 2008 and holds a B.S. in Communications, with a concentration in Public Relations, and a B.A. in Psychology from SUNY Fredonia. Teresa Degarmo, Communications Manager Email | Linkedin | Twitter Direct: 607-936-0701 "In my position, I am responsible for developing, implementing, and managing e-marketing initiatives. This includes writing and designing content for the Web, email campaigns, advertisements, blogs, and social media communications. I previously held communication positions at Corning Incorporated, Talisman Energy U.S.A., and WENY-TV News Channel 36. I am very proud to be a lifelong resident of the beautiful Finger Lakes region. With my husband, children, and two dogs, I share a love for traveling, photography, and practically everything that involves enjoying the great outdoors. Without a doubt, I am a typical Pisces… creative, a good listener and I always have a thirst for knowledge." Team member since February 2010 and holds a B.S. from Mansfield University of Pennsylvania in Mass Communications. Virginia (Ginny) Campbell, Office Manager Email | Twitter Direct: 607-936-0706 "I've been in the not-for-profit world for many years. Previously I held several positions at the Chemung County Chamber of Commerce. I graduated from the Institute of Organization Management (I attended at the University of Notre Dame). I love helping people, whether they are my co-workers or our wonderful visitors. My personal world revolves around my two grandsons; they are the cutest and smartest! I have just completed a year as president of Chemung Sunrise Rotary Club. And I sing in our church choir." Team member since August 2000.
Stephanie (Steph) Jarvis, Finger Lakes Wine Alliance Program Manager Email | Linkedin | Twitter Direct: 607-936-6670
"I stumbled into the wine industry about three year ago and fell in love! I never realized how big the wine industry in the Finger Lakes was until I started working part time in the tasting room at Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards. My tasting room position lead to a Marketing position and that sparked my interest in the wine world. Now, I am currently working as the Program Manager for the Finger Lakes Wine Alliance and get to spread my love for the region and its wineries nationally (and world- wide someday). I am honored to work in such an amazing region that continues to flourish every day. In my free time I like to shop (some say it's an addiction), go wine tasting, play softball, and my favorite thing of all: spend time with my two sisters (best friends), my loving parents, and the family dog Emma Jean (White Golden Retriever, so cute!)." Team member since January 2012 and holds a M.B.A. with a concentration in Marketing from Rochester Institute of Technology and a B.S. in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing from Keuka College.

But PM found six ways that the car companies have found loopholes in the past. By Mike Allen Email Comments 0 Share Back 5 of 6 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back Next View Larger View Thumbnails Flex-Fuel Loophole Many new cars on the market today are rated as flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs); they can on straight gasoline, E85 (a mixture of 85 percent ethyl alcohol and 15 percent gasoline) or any gas-ethanol mixture in between. E85 is available in many states, particularly those in the Corn Belt near the farmland where distilleries' feedstocks are grown. But FFVs are sold nationwide, and few of them are ever fueled with anything other than ordinary pump gas. And the incremental cost to make a vehicle FFV-rated is about $100 to the manufacturer. The reason there are 8 million FFVs on the road, then, is CAFE. Regardless of what fuel mixture drivers actually use, the car companies get credits on their CAFE requirements for every FFV they sell. The total benefit can amount to as much as 1.4 mpg across the fleet. And that means automakers can sell many more big, profitable, gas-guzzling luxury sedans and SUVs.

Brownies were a bit dry for our taste. I may have over cooked them slightly though. The filling and glaze were delicious. The Five Star Brownie recipe on this site is my all time favorite brownie for texture. I will try these again.
This is the richest brownie I have ever eaten! And that's saying something for me! of course, we do double the filling and glaze. We can't help ourselves!! My children ask for it often!
Great combination. My daughter eats raw cookie dough, so I appreciate the egg-free dough.
The ganache makes it extra special, and I will make a little extra next time.
I also have used crushed peppermint chocolate, instead of the chips.
brownies were dry...will use different brownie recipe next time
Pound-cake like texture to the brownies. The cookie dough layer is less than 1/4" thick. I would increase the dough recipe by at least 50%.

Emiliano'Z Mexican Grill
Created by boston.com | Claim this restaurant
In this winter of our discontent, Emiliano'z is the kind of restaurant we'd love to see open in our neighborhood. It's a cheery place where walls of bright yellow, orange, and blue banish all thoughts of winter as soon as the door closes behind us. A family of Mexican émigrés runs the restaurant, parents behind the grill, daughters making tortilla chips, a boyfriend taking orders, a toddler in pink gazing as we enter. And in these days of shrinking wallets, it's a smart deal: Nothing on the menu costs more than $10.
(Full review)2 reviews
Wmilianoz is a no frills family restaurant. It's not big. It's not fancy. It's not expensive. And the food is great and the staff is friendly. Not hard to find and plenty of on street parking. You can bring your own wine. Not open on Sundays but a great place for lunch or an early family dinner on any other day.

Obama memoir filled with misrepresentations
Also known as lies.
It's a given that politicians aren't always accurate when they speak, but it's another thing when they are inaccurate in their own memoirs. Yet, that's precisely what biographer David Maraniss claims in his book "Barack Obama: The Story."
According to Maraniss, one of Obama's largest myths is the claim that his paternal grandfather, Hussein Onyango Obama was imprisoned and tortured by the British in Kenya in 1949.
According to Obama, his grandfather was targeted by the British for assisting local rebels in their efforts to cast off British colonial rule. His grandfather was imprisoned for six months in a detention camp and he was routinely beaten and tortured.
However, Maraniss conducted interviews with people who know Obama's grandfather during the time and none of them recall such a thing. Furthermore, they insist that had something like that happened, he would have never found a subsequent career in civil service.
According to the Daily Mail article, of the individuals Mariniss interviewed was John Ndalo Aguk, who was a former coworker of the elder Obama. Aguk said he knew nothing of such an imprisonment. The same thing was stated by Zablon Okatch, who worked with Obama after Aguk. "Hussein was never jailed," he said. "I know that for a fact. It would have been difficult for him to get a job with a white family, let alone a diplomat, if he once served in jail."
A number of other individuals made identical claims.
Maraniss concludes in his work that Obama has tailored the facts to fit an image of himself that he finds acceptable. The Mail article says, "Obama himself, Maraniss finds, deliberately distorted elements of his own life to fit into a racial narrative. The author writes that Obama presents himself in his memoir as 'blacker and more disaffected' than he really was."
How this translates into Obama's leadership is incalculable, but a willingness to fabricate stories about oneself cannot be a positive trait for the leader of the free world. Alas, it may be the norm. Maraniss also did a biography of Bill Clinton and claims in that book that the former president did the same as Obama.

Rob: All I'm going to say to you, Rob is this; when America is a third world country, where is the rest of the world going to go for help. Ronald Reagan said something to that effect. This "Blamer-In-Chief" in the WH has done nothing but lie to the American people. Everytime he opens his mouth, he is lying. People need to read a very short book called "How Do You Kill 11 Million People" by Andy Andrews. Maybe then they would see what is going on here. Obama oversteps the Constitution because he can't stand the word NO! He doesn't even uphold its laws as he swore he would do. From the very beginning, the destruction of this Nation has been his agenda. Ok, so Bush got us into 2 wars ,but if memory serves me right, we didn't start them. It wasn't the US that flew planes into the WTC In my opinion, that was the start of WWIII.. Obama has just made it worse by helping the Muslim Brotherhood in the middle-east. He is helping them build their Caliphate. He has Muslim Brotherhood members in his administration; including HOMELAND SECURITY of all places. THAT'S real safe for our country. He is having any derogatory references to Muslim radicals erased from our records. He is altering records of the founding of this country and other pertinent facts of our history and changing quotes and history of our founding fathers. He has erased all reference of Jerusalem being in the state of Israel. They do not say Jerusalem, Israel anymore. He is no Christian. I don't care how many times he throws God and Jesus' name around. The devil did the same thing, look where he is. Obama and his comrades are evil to the core. And, if people can't see what he has done and is still doing to this country, well, I don't know if I should feel sorry for them or be extremely angry or just ignore them because I am rapidly losing my patience with all of them. I am in my last quarter of a century in age and it tears my heart apart to see this once great country, even with some of her flaws, be sold down the river by a CANCER that exists in our government and has existed for over 100 years, when the "Progressives" started invading our system. Remember, I said the Progressives are in both parties and they have brought this country to ruin. Obama is the instrument that will finalize what the Progressives have been trying to do, IF WE LET HIM. He was "selected" as Farrakhan said, and he has been nurtured and trained by the evil people that want to take over this country. Obama is no constitutional scholar, he is a Saul Alinsky scholar. He even taught Alinsky's methods. Alinsky's books are bibles to these people. I am appalled that there are so many people in America that don't even know our history. If they knew it, they would recognize the "enemies within" and would stand up to them. But if you don't know who Hitler was, or Stalin or Mussolini and what they did to their countries, how are you going to recognize them in our own country. Progressives on the left are COMMUNISTS and Progressives on the right are FACISTS. Joe McCarthy sacrificed his reputation fighting communist enemies in our system Now that it is known to be all true, has there ever been anyone who tried to destroy him, apologize? NO! The only favorable thing that I have ever read about McCarthy is a book by M. Stanton Evans entitled "Blacklisted by History." It is the only ACCURATE account (that I know of) of what McCarthy did and "what happened to America during the Cold War.and the "forces" that distorted our national policy in that conflict and our understanding of its history since." Maybe I'm just in a rotten mood because of the recent developments in our country or maybe I'm just getting too old to put up with the "selective ignorance" that is running rampant in people and places around me. I even had my TV service disconected because I'm sick of the politics (that's all it is) We don't have a government that represents us anymore, we have a bunch of terrorists in Washington that are tyrannizing their constituents. They no longer work for us, we work for them. "A government that is afraid of its people, is liberty. People that are afraid of its government, is tyranny" Thomas Jefferson. How true, how true. And we keep voting these terrorists into office. When will we ever learn? Never, I'm afraid. Sorry for my ranting. I never meant to make my comment so long. God bless.

JoAnn, just out of curiousity, what exactly are you basing your assertions on? We have always given money to other countries. We have always failed at immigration issues. Although it's interesting that Obama needed this immigration gimmick because deportations under his watch were the highest in years. And for some America has been an oppressive place (I'm sure slaves, those who lived during segregation and those among us who are still the cast aways from society may see things differently or perhaps have a reason why they feel the way they do). Raising taxes? He walked into horrible deficits, unfunded wars and an economy on the brink. Maybe we don't agree about raising taxes, but I don't think it's subversive to suggest that as a possible solution? Enemies of the wealth and corporations? You wouldn't know that from his campaign contributions and his total failure to reel in the banks. When you consider how well those in high finance are doing (and especially how quickly they recovered), it's laughable to say he hates the rich. I thnk it's fair to say the DC establishment only cares for the rich....the rest can fend for themselves. Maybe he has some thoughts about America that are different from George Washington. So what?? It's not a crime to do so and unless we ceased freedom of speech, he has every right to do it. Like I said before, I didn't vote for the man and no way I could vote for him now. But this might actually be an election I sit out if Romeny doesn't get on the stick and start describing what he's actually going to do. It was a mistake to vote for Obama because he wasn't Bush/GOP, the same will be true now. Folks better look past the lenses of their ideologies and actually check what the guy is planning to do. The job is way too important just to cast a vote because you hate Obama....and if you do, well then you'll deserve what you get.

I wish I could say that any of this mattered, but it doesn't. The unfortunate thing is that so many people on the right and left find themselves chasing these rabbit holes. So what if someone makes a claim that everyone just accepts as gospel truth? We let all these issues distract us from the task at hand. Is he doing a good job or not? If no, then fire him. If yes, then re-elect him. I hope we aren't basing our decisions on how truthful a politician is or isn't or we'll in real trouble. What's the saying, "how do you know if a politician is lying....he's moving his lips." I think we have two things we must do, judge Obama fairly and honestly on his results. And judge Romney for what he will do. The more time we spend on Obama conspiracy theories, the less we spend doing the latter. And it shows in the caliber of people serving us right now.

If there are misrepresentations ( and I say "if') in Obama's book "Dreams From My Father", it doesn't matter. I have read the book and the message is the same. Just like there are many stories in the Bible, but the message is the same. All you have to do is compare the book to his actions and they are identical. He does not believe in America. His enemies are the wealthy & corporations. Anyone that has been successful, he hates. He doesn't believe in American exceptionalism. He believes that America is an oppressive country and thrived on the backs of the unfortunate all over the world and it's time to teach her a lesson. He is taking our money and distributing it all over the world, hence why he needs to raise taxes. I wouldn't complain so much about the money if it were going to Americans. He doesn't believe in borders. He despises colonialism and capitalism. Like his benefactor, George Soros, they want an "Open Society", no borders anywhere in the world. He is bringing America down to the level of all other nations, maybe even lower. This man is evil to the core and definitely does NOT have America's best interest at heart. People are finally waking up to this "Destroyer" and I hope there are enough people waking up by November so that we can get this "Dictator" out of office and send him back where he belongs, to some Socialist/Communist country, because he surely doesn't belong here. I have a question for you all to ponder. One of the first things Obama did when he got in office was box up the bust of Winston Chruchill that was in the oval office and sent it back to England. That bust was a gift to America and he had no right to do that. Why do you think he did that? Could it be because the story about his grandfather is true? Think about it. I believe the entire book is true, just "enhanced" to make it more interesting. There's a book titled "The Roots of Obama's Rage" by Dinesh D'Souza. It is a stunning book that has better diagnosed who Obama is, what he intends to do, and why he poses an existential threat to America. It is full of footnotes for verification. It's an easy read, 218 pages. God bless.

People don't make mistakes when recalling that their grandfather was imprisoned and tortured. Obama just made that all up. But then again this is the same Obama who once campaigned for president "against" lobbyists and PAC monies but eagerly takes both in today, so one should not be surprised to find that "his" book contains "inaccuracies," or better put, total fabrications to attempt his personal gain.

Isn't it amazing how lies are accepted and truth is called hate speech. People accepting lies is what got us into this mess our country ,and the whole world for that matter, is in. The "father of lies" is doing a great job. Some of you people need to wake up, and wake up quickly. You are the instruments of our undoing. God bless.

The sad part is that it appears that most of what Obama says and does is for political gain for himself and his idealogical cabal. Watching and listening for over four years leads one to conclude that he cares little for actual truth, and has even less respect for the people of this country.
Life apparently does not matter, as abortion is something he promotes. Respect for faith is obviously non existant. Winning is everything, and the end justifies the means used to get there, truth or not, harm done or not. No matter how he has embellished his biography, we have seen who he is and what he stands for now, and the picture is not attractive.
Lofty lectures are empty words, since his hypocrisy speak so much louder.
Sadly, he had a chance to bring unity, but it appears all he knows is division.

And How is this Catholic News???... @ MARY... I am a Kenyan.. and YOU HAVE NOOO IDEA WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT... The statements you make are hurtful and hate driven.. a characteristic of most of the comments on this site..

May one poi t out that Reagan's and Bush's memoirs were ALSO full of glaring inaccuracies, and that what we're talking about is a MAN telling HIS OWN story, or is it imply to be accepted that Obama is a lying pig, and Reagan a Conservative superhero?

I agree with Esther-Marie and Steve, sometimes we tell stories of our families past that we think are correct but get lost in accuracy over the years. I get corrected sometimes by my older brothers about stories in our family that I thought had happened a certain way but did not.
OR.....maybe that is what Obama's father told him. His father may be the one telling the fib to make his son proud of him? Don't know, won't guess. Should he have gone over there and checked out the facts, maybe, but then, would you if it was your father?
Just another Obama basher trying to find some dirt on him.

With Falk being Jordan's agent, maybe we would have a shot.
Green is healthy and a UFA
Jeff Green's agent, David Falk, told SI.com's Sam Amick that his client is "100 percent" recovered from the surgically repaired heart condition that forced him to miss the 2011-12 campaign.
Because the Boston Celtics, who acquired Green from the Oklahoma City Thunder for Kendrick Perkins, withdrew their $9 million qualifying offer for Green in December, he is now an unrestricted free agent.
"Because of (Green's) age ... and because he can play two positions and he's freaky athletic, I think he could be very sought after," Falk said.
To that point, Falk said he's had exploratory talks with "12 to 14 teams." Both Green and the C's are open to re-signing him, but it would have to come at the right price. Considering Falk's history as an agent and the fact that Green should be one of the top UFAs on the market, that price may be too steep for the Celtics.
The team that lands him likely will view him as a starter and key part of their franchise going forward. Keep in mind that the former No. 5 overall pick averaged at least 15.1 ppg in each of his final three seasons with the Thunder. He'll be 26 years old when next season begins.
Do you think that he is a possibility for us. I think depending on the price tag, I would like to get him.
With Falk being Jordan's agent, maybe we would have a shot.
I'm not looking to overpay anyone but if he checked out medically, I would welcome Jeff Green.
Not sure of the chances though...
In Cho I Trust!
I'd love to land him if he really is 100%.
That's a nice, young starting lineup.
In Cho I Trust
Yes yes yes !
Only if we get him at good value. The last thing we need to do is invest in a guy that ISN'T 100% and then stuck with a big contract that isn't doing much for us.
At this point, I want our free agent signings to be relatively low risk affairs.

SOMEONE will pay for THIS!
no thanks. he isn't that good and will be way to expensive for his limited offensive game.
I WANT! Please sign! We have supposedly already expressed interest.

"To be honest, it was almost a relief that Boehner and McConnell simply gave up battling Obama on the debt ceiling, because they have proven ineptly hopeless."
"To be honest, it was almost a relief that Boehner and McConnell simply gave up battling Obama on the debt ceiling, because they have proven ineptly hopeless."
In a recent tea party event, Paul noted that "There are times, and I don't think it is our movement, but there are times when people are using language that shouldn't be used... I'm not saying that's our problem, I'm just saying there are people out in public who are taking away from our message and let's try not to be a part of that. ... Our message has to be a happy message, one of optimism, one of growth."
Paul is right. Conservatives - and especially tea party conservatives - do not have the luxury of a media who will cover up for them. The media is already going to lie about the things conservatives say anyway, why give them more ammo? Republicans do not get breaks. And i you think they do, google George Allen or Rush Limbaugh. The media and Democrats are waiting for any mispoken word that can be turned into a scandal and destroy a career. It;s something they are quite good at, actually. (We that as good at creating jobs or building websites!)
While many have pegged this race as "leans Democrat" it's hard not to imagine it as a solid toss-up. It wouldn't even be a big surprise to see the GOP nominee with a healthy lead by the time the election rolls around as Democrat Mark Begich simply does not have a lot in his favor. He was barely acceptable - and barely won - as the alternative to a guy who was facing Senate expulsion and was politically persecuted just days before the election. He's not only battling his opponent, but a really strong slate of Republicans in other races for Governor, Lt. Governor, and congress who are all expected to win and turn out plenty of Republican voters. Two January, 2014 polls (one Republican, one Democratic firm) average out to a 42-41% lead for the mostly unknown Sullivan and a 42-42% split with Lt Governor Mead Treadwell. That's not where one wants to be as an incumbent, against two mostly unknown candidates, in a state that almost always votes for Republican.
