For Dark Souls II, new directors Yui Tanimura and Tomohiro Shibuya promise the upcoming sequel will be every bit as challenging as its precursors.
Nura Rise of the Yokai Music: Monkey Majik
Tom Smith on a Canadian-Japanese pop outfit
Monkey Majik first shot to fame in Japan in 2006 when their second major-label single Around The World became the opening theme to TV drama Saiyuuki, an updated version of the famous Chinese tale Journey to the West. A fitting introduction for the band, considering the story is widely known as Monkey in English. Magic.
Eureka Seven Ao Part Two
Spoilers for part one ahead, as Andrew Osmond gets timey-wimey
The show's finale is squarely in anime traditions, combining heartfelt child-parent reunions, a boy's resolution to 'lift the curse' of his origins, and an orgasmically explosive deus ex machina that lets a character write the end he wants – one that happens to have shades of another Gainax anime classic, Gunbuster. There's fanservice for you!
Unspinning Fairy Tail
Hugh David argues that the treasure is in the detail
The biggest influence on this anime is not tabletop RPGs or even the long-standing fantasy fiction genre itself. No, the stamp of numerous Japanese role-playing videogames is all over Fairy Tail, from the Atelier series to the Final Fantasy franchise, in particular Final Fantasy XII
Nura Rise of the Yokai Music: LM.C
Tom Smith on the rise of the UK clan
LM.C are amongst a very elite type of Japanese musician. The clan they belong to is so exclusive that its numbers barely reach into the double digits. And its members are also a diverse bunch, including a guitar legend named Tomoyasu Hotei, a boiler-suited new-wave trio called POLYSICS, to a dark, heavy noise making machine dubbed Dir en grey. There's even pop goddess Hikaru Utada in there too to balance things out.

Why people try to manipulate water test results: cheating on water tests: This article explains why people might do something that prevents you from obtaining an accurate water test, how to detect this bad behavior, and what to do about it. Cheating on drinking water tests may come as a surprise to most folks - who would do such a thing, and why? Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Sources of chlorine in drinking water from private wells and public water suppliesThis article continues the subject of water or septic test manipulation that we began at CHEATING ON WATER TESTS. Readers should be sure to see CHLORINE IN DRINKING WATER. Also see Choices of Water Tests& Fees: A Summary of Types of Water Tests, Degrees of Comprehensive Water Testing, Details of Water Test Parameters. And see Water Testing Advice based on information from Cornell University of Maryland with extensive edits, text additions, and additional references. If your property has a private septic system, the same folks who poured chlorine into a well (to cheat on a water test) may by that means or other steps, also have sent bleach or chlorine into the septic system - possibly harming the system and possibly subverting a septic loading and dye test - see CHLORINE IN SEPTIC WASTEWATER and see CHEATING ON WATER TESTS. Chlorine in private well water? From what cause or what source do we find chlorine in water? One would not expect to find chlorine in well water from a private residence except for a few conditions, most of which indicate a concern for the sanitation of the water supply.
As we mention in the list above, people might shock a well or install a chlorine treatment system for sanitation or to remove an odor from water - for a legitimate reason. Finding out if this is the case is one step in determining if the building piping or well casing have become soiled and contaminated or after actually doing work on the well pump or piping in the well itself. Shocking a well with bleach will have only a temporary effect in reducing the bacteria level in water if there is a persistent source of contamination in the water supply. We discuss this water problem diagnosis procedure in detail at Interpreting Drinking Water Test Results and Correcting Unsatisfactory Drinking Water and the details of well shocking with bleach are located there HOW TO DETECT & PREVENT CHEATING ON Water TESTS - How to Avoid Well Water Test Cheats & Septic Test DishonestyHow to protect against cheating on water potability tests or other water tests: This article series explains why people might do something that prevents you from obtaining an accurate water test, how to detect this bad behavior, and what to do about it.

Also see Choices of Water Tests& Fees: A Summary of Types of Water Tests, Degrees of Comprehensive Water Testing, Details of Water Test Parameters. and Water Testing Advice based on information from Cornell University of Maryland with extensive edits, text additions, and additional references. Most people we've dealt with in the last 45 years of construction and building diagnosis & repair have been honest and decent. But on occasion the "pressure of the deal" or just downright dishonesty lead some folks to try to fool the buyers or occupants of a property, regardless of the possible consequences for their health or their wallet. Here are some things you can do to avoid tripping up over the bad apples of water test cheaters:
How to Test the Water Supply or Septic Effluent for Evidence of the Presence of ChlorineWhen to re-test a well that has been shocked with chlorine, Clorox™ or other disinfectants: This question is explained at" When to re-test a well that has been shocked with chlorine bleach or some other disinfectant".

How can you have a Win/loss ratio when you get put in games at the very end when people dashboard?!?!?1 I am tired of going into a search and destroy to watch the final ******* kill cam. You guys should have a option to not be put in games that are half over at least. Fix this **** finally
Its simple. If you care that much about W/L then don't play alone. iI've come to notcie that if you play in a group of 3 or smaller that the game tend to send you into lobbies that have already started and are almost done. Group of 4-6 is your best option.
Either that or become so good in lone wolf playing that you can single handedly win the game for your team.
I have 2 accounts. My main GT which i always play with my crew which consist of 4 players at a W/L of 16.38 playing SnD and TDM. My second account is for when i want to lone wolf and just play by myself and my W/L for that playing solo is 3.96, and thats by using my L96 and 44. Magnum

Thanks for letting me know. Saw the Zack Arias video.... still doesn't convince me to be honest.
Thanks for everyone's input I do appreciate it. I am a hobbyist so yes the 5D will be more than sufficient and the 1Dx does seem to be a bit of overkill. Like Schruminator mentioned previously the ability for faster focus on the 85 1.2 is applealing.Faster still does not mean fast! The 85 1.2 is slow no matter what, if you get a lens like that live view is your best friend
I've been told here and by some close friend to get the 5D and invest in in glass. I can't place my order till after 6:30 at B&H so I have the day to think about it. Thanks again
I see no sharpness loss until over 12800 on my 5d3, must be lens choice and PEBCAK errors.
Does part of the down payment on a new vehicle count as 'fun'? I suppose not, but then, I fund all my gear purchases from 'on the side' consulting work - the day job income (and taxes refunded from that) go toward the important stuff - house, cars, kids' college and retirement funds, etc.

The rugs they sell are good. A nice weave and the borders are well done with good material. The rug has a really strong odor and, since we are using it in the bedroom, this is a problem having to wait and hope the strong smell goes away. I ordered a 9x12 and they sent an 8x10. Either size sort of worked for the room but trying to get them to agree to just reduce the charge to the cost of the smaller rug was impossible to do. The only alternative was to take more time off of work and wait for the UPS pick-up and then be home again when they delivered the right size. Of course, they wore me out with their policies so I overpaid for what I got. All that said, if you are lucky enough to get what you ordered, it is good quality. The customer service people are excellent but the systems are pretty rigid and don't work too well. Of the three things we ordered, two were messed up.
Just bought this rug for our dining area. So far, it has been a great purchase. I have 2 kids and put spill protectors under their chairs but there were already a couple of incidents were something spilled onto the rug. I thought it wouldn't come out but it cleaned up pretty well with just water. You can't even tell there was a spill. Huge rug for the price.
This is a great rug for some added texture and warmth underfoot in a family room. I got the 9x12 in brown and love it. You cannot beat this price! It isn't super soft but I have 3 kids and they don't seem to care. We've already spilled a couple things. The spots stay wet overnight but are dry and disappear by morning. Great investment!
Absolutely beautiful rug, at a fraction of the price that I saw when comparison shopping at large retail stores. Great color, lays really well, looks like it will be quite durable.
We purchased the 9x12 with a black border for our dining room. The rug looks great, and is very durable. As far as texture - it is a little bit rough on bare feet and sheds a bit, but neither of these things detract from the aesthetic and durability of the rug. If you like the look of the rug from the photos, then you will like it when you get it. The backing of the rug is a rubber like material - and we do not have a rug pad undearneath. I am not sure if you even really need one.
This rug, while fashionable right now, is ugly in person. It came totally frayed and smells like hay. 4 months later it is not laying flat yet (we tried EVERYTHING) and still stinks. I vacuumed it a few times and now the "hay" is completely frayed and looks hideous. I wish I could post a picture so you could see exactly what I mean. I've only kept it because it costs what I paid for it to return it, but I will definitely be buying a new rug as soon as I can afford it.
I purchased the beige border. When I put the rug down, it was a little more yellow than pictured. However, since this was the base rug, it doesn't show all that much. non-slip backing on rug is nice.
This is great for a high traffic space - easy to clean, looks great! i use it as a layering rug (bottom layer) with a Moroccan shag rug on top - GREAT warm look and functionality.
The rug was supposed to be brown but really it is orange with a pink hue. Absolutely awful. The sisal is thin, and really looks cheap.
Loved the look of this well made rug in my cottage bedroom, but was so scratchy and prickly on my bare feet I had to return it.

Binghamton won two out of the three games they played on this hectic CBA weekend.
I'm so happy to be watching hockey with all of my friends at Silver Seven one last time
Things started slow for Jakob Silfverberg, but his production has picked up significantly in the past four weeks to the point that he's now leading the team in scoring.
Bingo took on the Portland Pirates on Friday night, cruising to a 6-1 victory for their ninth straight win.
It's our game day thread for the weekends' actual hockey games, so eff off NHL.
Robin Lehner is tearing up the AHL for the Binghamton Senators, after sludging it up the past two seasons. Despite his ineffective AHL career so far, there were plenty of signs this kind of season was coming.
The Binghamton Senators won 5-2 over the Adirondack Phantoms on Friday night, but the score wasn't the only thing worth writing home about--emotions boiled over late in the second and a line brawl ensued
So after attending the Cornwall First Assist Charity Classic, it was time for the second hockey trip of the week to Binghamton. Jonathan von Teichman and Dan Bergeron, co-presidents of the Hat...
Binghamton had two games this weekend, both of which were against the Norfolk Admirals. They split the games, winning 4-3 before losing 4-2. We take a look at some of BInghamton's Heroes and Zeroes.
Binghamton dropped two on the weekend and saved themselves from a mini-tailspin with a win on Sunday afternoon.

Truck trouble.
I bought the 1993 Chevy Silverado 1500 single cab for 500 dollars and I bought 350 engine for 240 dollars. My friend and I put the motor in it. Also, hooked all of them up. I replaced some parts from the engine. The engine service light still on. When I drive the bar won't go up over 2 rpm. What is wrong with it? Is it EGR? I replaced it a while ago. I installed new map sensor and it works better.. Why the service engine soon light is still on? Let me know soon as possible. Thanks!

Google defends Hotfile's right to 'safe harbor' under DMCA
The MPAA filed lawsuit against Hotfile little over a year ago, arguing that the cyberlocker had made a business out of enabling massive digital theft by giving users a place to store and share pirated movies. Now, in the aftermath of Megaupload's closure, the group is asking for a summary judgement to effectively shut the site down, arguing that Hotfile is a piracy haven and should not be eligible for DMCA safe harbor protection.
According to TorrentFreak, this request didn't go unnoticed by Google, who has become a somewhat unexpected ally of Hotfile with the filing of an 'amicus brief' objecting to the MPAA's "distortion" of the facts. According to Google, the movie studios are misleading the court by wrongfully suggesting that Hotfile is not protected by the DMCA, adding that YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Wikipedia and other sites dealing with massive amounts of contents provided by users are able to thrive because they are protected by the DMCA.
The Internet giant argues that, under the DMCA, service-providing sites are relieved of actively policing copyright on their own dime. Instead, they are only required to offer a means for reporting copyright infringement and act promptly in removing infringing material upon owners' takedown requests.
Google pointed to its own case against Viacom, now pending in the Second Circuit, in which the district court ruled that YouTube is protected by the DMCA safe harbor and that the burden to identify and report pirated material lies solely with the copyright holder, not the other way around.
Google also argued that Hotfile was within its right to simply remove links to files rather than the files themselves from servers, saying that such action conformed to DMCA requirements.
Many of the arguments made by Google could be relevant to the criminal indictment against Megaupload but, of course, also to their own interests. Besides protecting YouTube from future legal threats, the company is supposedly getting ready to launch its long-rumored Google Drive cloud storage service later this year.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
If the RIAA really cares about piracy then why aren't they focusing on the biggest haven of them all, YouTube? Anything you name is on there, ready to be streamed (and downloaded - its not hard to do). Yet not a word is said because the industry only picks on 80-year old grandmas and high school kids. What a pack of disingenuous shakedown artists.
I saw the devil. It took the shape of RIAA.
And the best part, suing Hotfile is just a waste of time, since it was abandoned about a year ago for the majority of users doing copyright infringement, because they starting to take links down and delete accounts almost immediately, while others took its place, and then others after, and others after...
Good for Google.

Profiting from companies you've never heard of
Find great, potentially profitable stocks you may not have thought of with these four simple metrics.
As most investors are probably aware, headlines and mispricings often uncover short-term profit opportunities with stocks.
Sounds awesome. Too bad when I move on any advice I read from StreetAuthority, a month later I feel like I'm in a pump and dump scheme. The average investor is at such a overwhelming disadvantage because we simply don't have ALL the info needed... and the info we do have, is manipulated to some degree. TRUST and INTEGRITY are qualities of the ignorant. Buy rent property. At least its REAL. At least you can CONTROL it. You lose this with stocks. Articles like this just show the rich dangle carrots to the middle class and take it when they want. Warren Buffet wouldn't have been able to be near as successful if he were starting today.

I think that it's inevitable that players switch to visors. I also think that grandfathering it in is the right way to go; players who aren't comfortable with it shoulder the responsibility for their increased risk, and players entering the league who will have already adjusted to it will wear them. There's no perfect form of protection -- the Marc Staal injury would have happened regardless to whether he had a visor, I think, with the crazy carom the puck took -- but there's no reason for players who have worn visors up until the NHL to toss them away when they hit the pros.
Just bear in mind how steeped in tradition this league is. In 1968 there were few players who chose to wear helmets, and even after Bill Masterton died following an incident when his head hit the ice, adoption to helmets were slow. It wasn't until 11 years later that the rules changed. There's a macho culture in the NHL, and some players will refuse to switch. Grandfather it in, let them make their choice for themselves. I hate seeing a player squirming on the ground like what happened to Staal, and I'm sure every other player in the NHL feels the same way. That's why grandfathering it in is the best solution; the older players who aren't comfortable with it don't have to, anybody who's worried can adopt, and new players have to wear the shield.
Posted 16 March 2013 - 02:00 PM
What player entering the League today removes the shield?
I presented the stats. Quincey hurt himself, his teammates and the organization.
So much for that deadline #2 for White ....POOF!
(and he will have a shield when he returns, mark my words.)

More copies of this ISBNThis title in other editionsThe Family Fangby Kevin Wilson
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Annie and Buster Fang have spent most of their adult lives trying to distance themselves from their famous artist parents, Caleb and Camille. But when a bad economy and a few bad personal decisions converge, the two siblings have nowhere to turn but their family home. Reunited under one roof for the first time in more than a decade and surrounded by the souvenirs of their unusual upbringing, Buster and Annie are forced to confront not only their creatively ambitious parents, but the chaos and confusion of their childhood.
Written with tremendous heart, wit, and honesty, Kevin Wilson's The Family Fang is a "comedy, a tragedy, and a tour de force....The best single-word description would be genius" Ann Patchett, bestselling author of Bel Canto and State of Wonder). Review:"As he did in Tunneling to the Center of the Earth, Kevin Wilson asks big questions with subtle humor and deep tenderness." NPR.org
Review:"What can you say for a novel about performance artists that begins 'Mr. and Mrs. Fang called it art. Their children called it mischief'? ...That it's totally weird, and pretty wonderful. Most of all, that it manages to be brainy without sacrificing heart." O, the Oprah Magazine
Review:"[A] bizarre, mirthful debut novel...leavened with humor." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
Review:"The premise of this book is so perfect I can't believe it hasn't been done before ...a hugely likable book — funny, colorful, and memorable, if not beautiful and strange....I read this book swiftly and compulsively, like sipping thirstily at a fruity cocktail on a hot summer evening." BookBrowse.com review
Review:"[Family Fang] allows Wilson to dazzle and amuse us with some very inventive and provocatively imagined performance art." BookPage
Review:"Kevin Wilson introduces The Family Fang, a winningly bizarre clan on the brink." Vanity Fair
Review:"A highly engaging and imaginative first novel...Wilson has a gift for characterization and dialogue." Art in America
Review:"Wild....Kudos for wit and quirky imagination." Christian Science Monitor
Review:"The kids are not all right in this debut novel about a brother and sister poorly navigating the bizarre world of their parents — obsessive performance artists who force their children to participate in their kooky pieces." Los Angeles Magazine
Review:"Kevin Wilson's novel, The Family Fang, was one of the most talked about titles at BEA...[The Family Fang has] the whimsy reminiscent of a Wes Anderson flick....Wilson pulls the fuzzy line between art and life very taut." Publishers Weekly Fall Preview: Top Ten Literary Fiction
Review:"I recently read Kevin Wilson's novel The Family Fang , which is so strange and original and hysterically funny. It's about a husband and wife who are performance artists and force their young children to be part of their art project. It's a book like nothing else." Ann Patchett, Time Magazine
Review:"It's The Royal Tenenbaums meets Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? I'd call The Family Fang a guilty pleasure, but it's too damn smart. Here, finally, is a much needed reminder that astute fiction can still be a total blast." Hannah Pittard, author of The Fates Will Find Their Way
Review:"Wilson writes stylishly...but his real skill is...building up a slow-drip mystery....And [this] isn't the kind of book you [can] set aside....(I'm looking at you, Swamplandia!) It's the kind of book in which you need to know what happens...It's not what you think." Esquire, 10 Best Books of 2011
Synopsis:Owen King (We're All in This Together) calls author Kevin Wilson, "the unholy child of George Saunders and Carson McCullers." With his novel, The Family Fang, the Shirley Jackson Award-winning author of Tunneling to the Center of the Earth comes through in a BIG way, with a funny, poignant, laugh-and-cry-out-loud (sometimes at the same time) novel about the art of surviving a masterpiece of dysfunction. Meet The Family Fang, an unforgettable collection of brilliant, and absolutely endearing oddballs whose lives are risky and mischievous performance art. If the writing of Gary Shteyngart, Miranda July, Scarlett Thomas, and Charles Yu excites you, you"ll certainly want to invite this Family into your home.
Synopsis: For every child whos ever dreamed of being in the Guinness Book of World Records comes the story of eleven-year-old Arthur Whipple and his fantastic family of world record breakers . . . - Most Crème Brulée Eaten in One Minute - Highest Number of Matching Outfits Worn by a Stuffed Toy and Its Owner - Youngest Person to Summit the Third-Highest Mountain in the World These are just three of the 49,521 records won by Arthurs twelve brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, unlike his siblings, Arthur hasnt broken a single, solitary world record! But when the Whipples suffer a spate of catastrophes and a curious amount of attention from a pair of irregularly sized and unusually menacing clowns, Arthur might be the only one who can save his family from losing their collective crown . . . or worse. About the AuthorKevin Wilson is the author of the collection, Tunneling to the Center of the Earth (Ecco/HarperPerennial, 2009), which received an Alex Award from the American Library Association and the Shirley Jackson Award. His fiction has appeared in four volumes of the New Stories from the South: The Year's Best anthology, and he has received fellowships from the MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, and the KHN Center for the Arts. He lives in Sewanee, Tennessee, where he teaches fiction at the University of the South and lives with his wife, the poet Leigh Anne Couch, and his son, Griff.

The bombastic radio host has been a Mac user for years, but on Tuesday he complained on his show about issues with six Macs that he runs on a network, without providing any details. The story made its way around the Mac community to a mixture of curious and hostile responses, and now Limbaugh has outlined his two main beefs.

The Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, directed by Ambassador Luis CdeBaca, leads the United States' global engagement against human trafficking, an umbrella term used to describe the activities involved when someone obtains or holds a person in compelled service. At the heart of this phenomenon are the myriad forms of enslavement as outlined in the United States' Trafficking Victims Protection Act. Major forms of human trafficking include: forced labor, sex trafficking, bonded labor, debt bondage, involuntary domestic servitude, forced child labor, child soldiers, and child sex trafficking. The Office has responsibility for bilateral and multilateral diplomacy, targeted foreign assistance, and public engagement on this issue of modern slavery and partners with foreign governments and civil society to develop and implement effective counter-trafficking strategies. |

San Francisco BART escalators clogged with human waste, report says
The next time you want to complain about something while riding on Metro, perhaps you'll think of this and realize that it really could be worse.
Escalators may break down routinely throughout the WMATA rail system, but at least they don't have the same problem that ones in the San Francisco Bay Area have.
As the San Francisco Chronicle reports, escalators at some Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) stations in downtown San Francisco have needed repairs after it was found that they were clogged with human waste.
According to the Chronicle, the problem seems to lie with San Francisco's homeless population either camping out near or using BART stations as a place to go to the bathroom. However, transit police officers have to see someone in the act to cite someone for the incident.
"Certain crimes you don't see (and) you can't enforce," BART police spokeswoman Officer Era Jenkins told the Chronicle.
A hazardous materials team even had to be brought in to clean up the mess.
When you really think about it, then, perhaps mechanical difficulties aren't the worst thing in the world of mass transit.

I know that muscle growth is a very slow process. But seeing as I've never seriously lifted before and pair it with a bulking nutrition plan, wouldn't I be able to come close to gaining 1/2 pound of muscle a week if I'm using heavy compound lifts and sufficient supply of calories? That doesn't seem too unreasonable. I know that the fast you gain, over time you will gain less and less. The muscle gain curve I learned:
Beginner 1st year: 16 pounds
2nd year: 8 pounds
3rd year: 4 pounds
4th year: 2 pounds
I used a bunch of different equations I found all over the internet. The Maintenance I posted was actually an average from all of them. Some sites gave me a lower number, some gave me higher. To break it down for you, my RMR was calculated at 1905 calories which is the energy I would need to do absolutely nothing all day. Then my daily activities not including my workout came to about 600 calories. That includes me walking around all day at work and at home, and any other physical activity I do outside my workouts. Then what was left was my workout calories which came to about 470 for each workout session. So then my total of 2975 would be the calories I would need to eat in a day to maintain my current weight. I feel like that's pretty accurate based on the nutrition I've been playing with the past couple weeks. When I've cut 500 from that number I usually constantly lose a pound a week (hopefully fat). Anyways, I hope this helps!

Recipe by ROCKY99
"These are yummy and easy to make. I loved them when I was a kid and now as an adult."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/2 cup peanut butter
4 English muffins, split and toasted
1 red apple, cored and sliced
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons margarine
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
I thought this recipe was great fun. Because my 14 month old can't eat apple yet I made hers with banana. She loved it and ate half a english muffin. This was great for her. I have a hard time getting her to eat breakfast and most mornings it ends up on the floor. I will definately have to keep this one in mind and pass it on to her sitter.
I found these to be tasty but messy. My sauce was runny for me. But overall, simple and you can change it up.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Yes-I mean to shout this at the top of my lungs. This is probably the quickest, tastiest breakfast I've ever had. My 3-year-old who prides himself on eating nothing ever, LOVED these. I've tried every breakfast known to man to get him to eat. I was skeptical of this recipe, but out of desperation gave it a try. It just proves the old addage, "don't knock it, til you try it." My son ate 2 1/2 of these. My 6-year-old ate all of hers, and I had one too. We all loved it! My son called his dad at work, and told him he would make him one this weekend. I think this will be a great back-to-school breakfast too! I guess you can tell, our family gives this recipe a 5-star rating! Thanks again for sharing!
YUUUMMMM! This was fast and easy and delicious. I used an apple corer on my apple and then just cut thin "O" shaped slices that fit perfectly on the english muffin. Used transfat free margarine and whole wheat english muffins and it was great!
Perfect for a quick and healthy breakfast! I cut the recipe in half and used a whole grain English muffin that I toasted first. Red delicious apples are great to begin with but peanut butter AND apples are a great combination! Of course I'll take peanut butter any way I can get it!
Very yummy Lisa. I've made this several times using both apples and bananas. I've tried this on regular bread and ciabatta and it's great on both. We really enjoyed this and will be making it agian. Thanks for sharing.
I made this for my 2 1/2 year old son. While i was making this, all I kept thinking was, theres no way he is going to eat this. (he does not like to get his hands messy). Well, he loved it. and the glaze was so simple to make. Thank you for a great simple way to make breakfast more fun.
This recipe deserves an award for taste and ease of preparation. After I used all of the english muffins (whole wheat) up I turned to toasted bread. It's that delicious!!! I tried it with both apples and bananas. I liked the crunchy peanut butter with the bananas and the creamy peanut butter with the apples. The only advice I have is make sure your muffins are really toasted. I think it needs the firmness to hold up the peanut butter and fruit. This has become a regular breakfast and snack food for my family.

So, "Secret Garden" is a change-up, she said, "veering off from this classic photojournalist style to something like fine art. I think it's something in between fine art and photojournalism."
Some of the images are abstract cityscapes, some are nature pictures where "half the photo is about the graphic quality of it and line and shape and all that."
The inspiration for "Secret Garden" came about through workshops with master photographers Jeff Jacobson and Maggie Steber. In working through six years of work and thousands of photos, Caskey said Steber had advice for some of them: 'You really need to keep a file of these that are like your 'Secret Garden.'
"While I was so immersed in this reportage, I couldn't help but make these other pictures off to the side," Caskey said.
Her issue-oriented photojournalism is still going strong, she said, but "I think 'Secret Garden' will be a continuing vein for me. This is kind of like my first pass at it. This is more the artist in me rather than the journalist."
Working in West Virginia, so passionately wrapped up in documenting mountaintop removal's impact on average lives, has constantly presented to her photographer's eye a conundrum reflected in this show.
"You can turn and look out on the moonscape or you can turn and look at some leaves and light and there might be your secret garden there behind you.
"My constant struggle is how to look at it in a new and fresh way. In the meantime, 'Secret Garden' helps me do that and shifts my perspective from the overwhelming devastation to another slice of life in the world around us."

CNET has conducted a study of 'influencers' amongst users of the websites in its network.
Entitled "The Influencer Study from CNET Networks: Challenging Perceptions," CNET decided to test the Influentials theory that it notes many marketers have accepted:
"Conventional wisdom holds that influence is not widespread, but is the domain of a few high profile individuals who have a deep expertise in certain subject matters and advise the rest of the public on matters of choice."
"They are further assumed to be highly connected, with very large networks of people to whom they can impart their knowledge. This notion has informally shaped media and marketing models in which influence is visually depicted as a pyramid, with a few highly influential individuals concentrated over a mass of others who consume but do not advise."
CNET decided to put this conventional wisdom to the test using a three-party study that included quantitative research, qualitative research and a behavioral analysis.
When all was said and done, CNET's study resulted in an overall conclusion that isn't that far off from the one Duncan Watts came to after he conducted his research:
"The flow of information isn't coming just from a small group of connected individuals at the top."
The details, of course, are what make this conclusion interesting. The three that I find to be most relevant:
- "Data suggests that the 1-to-10 or pyramid model, where influence comes from a few highly-connected people who advise the unconnected masses, is inaccurate, and points instead to the significant potential of the moderately-connected majority. So, the true shape of influence may be better characterized as a diamond, not a pyramid. Focusing only on the highly-connected few misses a huge opportunity to communicate on a large scale with the bulk of the population."
- "Conventional wisdom holds that the highly influential few are topic experts, and share their deep expertise with the masses in part to demonstrate their knowledge. However, our research finds that influencers are primarily motivated by a desire to help others. People like to be needed and valued, and influencers derive a sense of self-worth and validation from giving good advice. They aren't simply blasting e-mails to their entire address book – these influencers are taking the time to seek out and customize information they believe will be relevant to specific individuals within their network."
- "The study reveals that for information to be considered valuable, it must be both unique and trusted. For example, an AP headline might be trustworthy, but it isn't unique – one can find it in dozens of places. And information on an amateur fan site might be highly unique, but not necessarily trustworthy. Sources that provide unique and trusted information will be referred to again and again."
- As I have noted, mass-marketing is still important because you simply can't be sure which consumers are going to take your message and run with it. Simply trying to target consumers who you think are most influential is probably not the best strategy - targeting a wider swath of consumers probably is. After all, according to Duncan Watts, "If society is ready to embrace a trend, almost anyone can start one--and if it isn't, then almost no one can." If Watts is right, limiting the number of consumers you target may very well be limiting the potential of your campaign to succeed.
- The notion that "Influentials" act as brand zombies who blast recommendations to their contacts is naive. As I've argued before, the power of word-of-mouth is derived from the way it's delivered. Those seeking to artificially create word-of-mouth and to leverage it formulaically miss the point - recommendations are inherently powerful because we aren't bombarded by them and when we do receive them, they're typically delivered in a personal fashion from somebody who consciously believes they're relevant to us.
- Trust is important, but having a message that is relevant and unique is too. Trying to get consumers to promulgate a message about laundry detergent, for instance, probably just isn't going to cut it because there's nothing truly valuable about the message, even if the source of the message is trusted.
It's necessary to note that CNET is not completely unbiased because it does derive a significant amount of revenue from advertising campaigns that are probably more mass-market than "social."
But, as is becoming typical, the studies with quantitative data cast doubt on the unnuanced concept of Influentials put forth by individuals who typically have no quantitative data and who fail to explain the actual dynamics of the influence they think exists. In other words, doubters of Influentials typically have actual research while proponents typically have faulty inductive reasoning based on observations and anecdotes.
Of course, none of this will stop Influentials proponents from continuing to promote a theory that just doesn't stand up to scrutiny. But that's to be expected because, ironically, these people apparently just can't be influenced – no matter how compelling the data demonstrating that their worldview is, at best, flawed and, at worst, completely false.
Looks like I'll have to find the most powerful Mavens and Salesmen to convince them.

CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - If you owe money, you know how aggressive some bill collectors can be. A local collection agency accused of harassing consumers is finally paying up and in the process the company is working with the state to get out of Danielle's Doghouse.
19 Action News first started getting calls about NES, National Enterprise Systems, about two years ago.
"I started getting phone calls between 8:00 and 5:00 after 8:00 every morning, waking up me up out of a sound sleep. It was a month and a half. I think they were looking for someone with my husband's name. It was not him."
According to the Better Business Bureau about 1,000 consumers have called them and the Attorney General's Office about NES harassing them.
Victims say the company was calling people's relatives and work non-stop and co-workers and neighbors about their debts, all of which is illegal.
The person who sold them out was an ex-employee who did not want to be identified.
So are they still harassing consumers? Have their business practices changed?
Find out in the latest edition of Danielle's Doghouse.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
by Rebecca Skloot
Henrietta Lacks was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, and whose cells--taken without her knowledge when she was treated for cancer in 1951--have become one of the most important tools in medicine. The Lacks family did not learn of Henrietta's cells until 20 years after her death, but these first "immortal" human cells grown in culture are still alive today: they've been bought and sold by the billions and have been vital in fighting polio, cancer, and many viruses. This incredible book explores race, bioethics, scientific research, human rights, the power of family, and the question of whether we control the very cells we're made of.

I have a timestamp field in my db.
In my mysql program I clicked on the box that says "On Updated Current_Timestamp" which works fine for updating rows in the database and adds the time.
Now I want it to add the time for NEW rows, so in the default box I put now(); but I get an sql error. I am doing it in the database to lessen the load on coldfusion but maybe something like this is better in my cfquery insert into sql?:
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#now()#" />
What do you think I should do? Thanks
Hi Dan
The field UPDATED is a timestamp field, it has length 0 because it doesn't let me change it, decimals 0 and allow null.
The Default value I put in the mysql program for the field is: now();
It has the checkbox for On Update Current_Timestamp selected.
I get this error: 1067 'Invalid default value for value updated'
I did a google search on "mysql now" and found this page. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/date-and-time-functions.html
I noticed one synonym for now is current_timestamp(). I'd try that with a 0 in the brackets.
Thanka for all the input I played around a lot with it and I made it work, this is what I did to the timestamp mysql field:
Field length 0.
Decimals 0
Allow null NO
Checkbox for On Update Current_Timestamp selected
Default value CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
It now works fine adding/updating the date for both a new and an exisiting record automatically
Thanks for all the help about dates
