The New England Revolution signed Designated Player Jerry Bengtson this week with the hope that he could boost an attack that is, at times, anemic. Mission accomplished. In his very first match the Honduran international scored and along with Lee Nguyen's tally, led the Revs to a 2-0 win over the New York Red Bulls on Sunday.
Nguyen got the Revs on the board in the 24th minute with a goal that the home side undoubtedly deserved. They played excellent from the opening kick and punished a Red Bulls team that was without a handful of starters, including Thierry Henry and Heath Pearce. Then Nguyen got free just outside the box and hit a good low shot that Ryan Meara lost through traffic. The goalkeeper reacted late and the ball squeezed just inside the post for a good opening goal.
New York had their chances, none better than when Kenny Cooper hit the bar in the 56th minute, but they were always a step behind New England. In the 84th minute, the Revs made sure they would get the win they deserved when Saer Sene combined with Shalrie Joseph to get a chance on goal. Meara made the save, but the rebound fell to Bengtson for the tap in and the Revs were on their way to three points.
That the Red Bulls got beat is no surprise since they have yet to win at Gillette Stadium since it opened in 2002, with four draws in the 17 matches they have played there highlighting the "good category". They really don't like that place, which is something they have in common with fans.

And, for the past 38 years the thrills and excitement of live thoroughbred racing at the track has attracted many of the top equine and human stars in the game. In 2011 track officials changed their live racing schedule and started to offer evening racing on Monday and Tuesday nights. This change made Penn National one of the few Thoroughbred tracks to offer live racing on these days. Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course opened February 12, 2008 and on July 13, 2010, table games began operation. Over 2,450 slot machines, ranging in denomination from one penny to $100, and over 56 action-packed table games are available for guests.

A graduate of the esteemed Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. Andrew has spent over 10 years instructing beginning and intermediate students in every age range and in various styles. Utilizing honed techniques learned both in school and in the professional and live band setting, Andrew draws on classical foundation and a wide range of styles (including pop, jazz, blues and fiddle) to create lessons tailored to each students individuals needs and goals.
*** Lesson Details ***
Students who study with Andrew receive a fresh experience of the violin. Unlike a "one-fits-all" model, Andrew creates a unique lesson plan tailored to each individual. This allows the student to learn and progress at their own speed and in the style(s) that they are interested in. While every student receives a solid foundation in theory, the engaging and performing aspects of music are encouraged in a fun and positive environment.
Please note: I am currently only accepting students who are able to meet every week.
*** Studio Equipment ***
The In-Studio lessons are taught in the living room. There is one cat. Street parking is available, and I have a 61 key keyboard available as well.

Hi, my name is Sue L. I teach music and perform professionally with Mango Nights as their arranger and violinist. I also play cello and bass with other groups. I earned my music degree from Portland State University in 2006, graduating with honors. In 1996 I won two Medals of Distinction for violin performance and music theory and then in 2001 I received a Merit Award from the Associated Board of the Royal School of Music, London, England for viola performance. I've been blessed to be able to perform in a variety of ensembles and genres such as musical theater pit orchestras, string quartets, the Vancouver Symphony, and rock, jazz, tango and blue grass/folk bands.
My biggest thrill is to be able to transmit culture to the younger generation through music.
*** Lesson Details ***
I offer the following for my violin, viola, cello, bass and piano students. Most of all, it is the joy of music making that I want to share with my students.
Private and group lessons
Two recitals a year
Special performance opportunities throughout the year
Classical, jazz, fiddle, rock, tango, sacred, Celtic, folk
Music theory
Customized lesson plans using various methods old and new
I endeavor to provide a fun, non intimidating environment for students while motivating them to achieve their highest potential by providing many performance opportunities throughout the year. Some of my students have appeared as special guests with my band, Mango Nights.
Included with weekly private lessons are once a month group lessons where students can learn essential ensemble skills and have fun meeting other students.
Beginning students learn several simple songs that teach great tone and rhythm using classical, folk, blues, rock, ragtime, bluegrass. Students learn concepts such as syncopation, rhythm, note reading, articulations, dynamics, asymmetrical time meters and and more. Each book comes with a CD with piano accompaniment which makes practicing at home enjoyable.
Students are gradually introduced to scales, arpeggios, music theory, ear training and sight reading. All this works together to produce "the complete musician". The complete musician is a person who has excellent rhythm, pitch, note reading skills and creativity, a person who can enjoy and appreciate music in it's various forms over a lifetime whether it be for personal enjoyment or as a career.
For more serious students who have the goal of auditioning for university scholarships, top youth orchestras or becoming a professional musician, an accelerated intensive course is available in partnership with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. In this program, the student is prepared for a once a year rigorous exam requiring the playing of select pieces, scales and arpeggios, sight reading and ear training. The candidate performs for the visiting Associated Board Examiner from London England and is graded on a point system. Upon passing the student receives a beautiful certificate and additional awards for high scores. Once a year at a separate time, a written exam for music theory is taken. The exams are graded 1 to 8 and can be classical or jazz depending on the candidate's choice.

Music Performance, Music Theory, Songwriting, Violin
Out of all instruments, the sound of the violin is the closest to the human voice. Small wonder it is one of the oldest instruments still being played and it's tones can fit in to almost any style of music.
Learning the violin from me goes far beyond technique. My training includes reading music notation, lead sheets, and playing by ear. All of these are skills that you can learn depending on what your goals are. A combination of these skills combined with technique on violin will give you a foundation of music knowledge that will serve you regardless of what style of music you want to play. Styles that I have studied specifically are: Classical, Irish, Bluegrass, Rock and Symphonic Metal.
In addition to playing violin, I write and arrange music. My song "The Burning Plain" won a national award for songwriting. If writing songs is your goal I can help you apply music theory concepts is ways that will make your songs stand out.
*** Lesson Details ***
I tailor lessons to my students goals. I emphasize technique fundamentals, and help students apply the techniques they learn toward music they enjoy playing, or composing.
After 6 months my Violin students will have a comfortable relaxed hold on the instrument, and have learned several songs while continuing to work on ear training and note reading.
After 6 months my Songwriting students will have a basic understanding of scale theory , melodic movement, rhythm integration, and several strategies for coming up with lyrics.
*** Studio Equipment ***
living room w/ seating for parents
*** Travel Equipment ***
I would expect my violin students to bring violin, and music notation. I will have music stand, as well as computer/internet access if needed.
For songwriting students, bring your most comfortable instrument (for our purposes voice is an instrument) and recording/playback device. I can furnish guitar, practice amp, keyboard musical recordings and CD/tape player, and computer with internet access.
*** Specialties ***
I have performance experience in Classical violin, Irish fiddle, and violin applied to Rock and Metal. I teach violin fundamentals and try to expose students to a broad range of musical styles, while maintaining instrument specific core technique: perfect pitch, and even tone.

I started taking Violin and Piano lessons at age 7. By the age of 12 I was performing recitals and was Concert Master of my elementary school orchestra. In high school I was first chair, and learned to conduct the orchestra. I attended Southwest Missouri State College in Springfield Missouri. I created my own string quartet while studying there. I studied Violin under Mr. Harold King, who was a good friend of Jascha Heifetz and was his roommate in Chicago where they studied music together. I have studied Violin and Piano with many other instructors, including Tony Bennet and Peggy Lee's recording pianist. I studied modern and jazz piano with Paul Horn's Jazz Group. I was vocal coach for 3 years for the Pasadena, California Ambassador choir.I have taught for approx. 50 years privately and in various colleges and schools. I was a co-founder and owner of Pasadena School of music in Pasadena California . I was an instructor for Beacock Music in Vancouver, Washington. I have been a member or the Clark College Orchestra and have performed in several concerts with them.I currently perform all over Oregon and Washington, and perform weekly for various functions in the area.
*** Lesson Details ***
I believe that students can only learn properly in the right atmosphere, with an enthusiastic, motivated instructor. If the experience is not fun the student will not excel in what they do. I believe the students should periodically have a chance to show what they are learning by performing in recitals with others.

I have been a guitar and voice instructor for over 15 years, and a piano teacher for 3. I have currently added beginning violin and ukulele. I have also tutored elementary students and worked for Montessori's for many years. I really love this job! I had a real hard time learning guitar when I was growing up because of an accident to my left arm, but I wanted to play so much that I was able to overcome it. Because of this, I think I have learned to be a very patient teacher. I see students who get frustrated and think that it's too hard to play the guitar, but I promise you my program is fun and simple. I can show you the steps to success. I have taught over 500 students in a variety of cities from Minneapolis Minnesota, to Los Angeles California, and now Portland Oregon. I have had individually and group taught over 28,000 lessons in that time, so I have dealt with every kind of person including those with disabilities. I am currently obtaining my Masters in Music education and Psychology from Marylhurst, and I have taught every age from 5-70. I am also a performer, and I own my own music publishing company through ASCAP (American Society of Composers Authors and Publishers). I currently teach Piano to level 3, so if you are a beginner, you will love my new program. Music is my life, I can help you make your dream of playing a musical instrument come true, even in a few short lessons. You can do it!
* I hold recitals twice a year in May and November. Check out my videos.
*** Lesson Details ***
The thing I have learned over the years teaching guitar is that everyone learns differently. I have taught in family situations where there are two or three siblings learning at the same time, but each sibling learned the skills that are unique to them. Some students are better at playing rhythm, some students are better at lead, some students are better with barre chords. As long as you are enjoying playing the guitar, you will be able to grow in every area at your own pace. Music should be a fun and rewarding experience. My lessons usually include songs that you like to play and are at your level of playing ability. We can play as a band too. When you are ready, I love to bring out the drum machine while you play guitar and I play the bass notes, giving you the feel of a live group situation that can make learning at your lesson more fun.But if that's not for you we can just play guitar together too, whatever makes you feel the most comfortable is how you will be able to learn the best. Tell me what you need I am always here to help you.

I am friendly and like to inspire my students to find their own best potential. Suitable challenges are fun and needed to keep the personal progress going on. "No suffering in my studio!" means that the process of learning needs to be enjoyable but at the same time I am asking the students to give their best effort. Setting frequent goals in form of group classes and recitals keeps us in full sail and teach us to enjoy the act of playing both alone and in front of friendly audience.
I teach both classical and Suzuki methods. I like to keep my students musically well fed and encourage exploring music reading and music theory next to practical skills. I stir my students toward high standard personal level in their studies, an ingredient from Finnish cultural climate.

Several things of note in this post (aside from the obvious: so where's the next Avengers post?):
Firstly, Dragon and I celebrated our eighth anniversary Monday and Tuesday (very long story, something I'll be sure to elaborate on later), so you could say I've been a bit… preoccupied. We've eaten at glamorous middle class restaurants and wandered snow-free botanical gardens lit by millions of twinkling lights.
Secondly, as I've been asked several times, I'm going to provide here the recipe to my Christmas Pecans (aka Crack Nuts), because I've already been accused of putting something illegally addictive in the recipe. LOL.
Thirdly, tomorrow's my birthday. Yay me! The Snarkstress sees the dawning of another year. Woo boy!
Fourthly, Happy Yule, Merry Christmas, Merry Solstice, Happy Festivus, etc. We're having a huge dinner, with some fantastic gaming, and long distance family bonding. Here's hoping everyone else out there has a merry festive occasion of their choice.
So… with all of that out of the way: Here's the Christmas Nuts you've asked for all year!
The Snarkstress's Christmas Pecans
1 lb. pecan halves
1 egg white
1 Tbsp water
1 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
Dash of ground cloves
1/2 cup butter
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Cut up butter into bottom of 13×9 casserole dish and place in oven to melt.
Meanwhile, whip egg white until frothy. Add water, sugar, and spices. Add pecans to spice mixture, stir well to coat, then pour into pan.
Bake at 250 degrees for 1 and a half hours, stirring every 15 minutes.
Allow to cool completely before eating. Trust me on this. Hot nuts on your tongue is not something you want to explain to the ER nurses.
~Happy Holidaze!
The Snarkstress *H*

Hmm... Medium density head, very good retention, cloudy straw colour. This has GOT to be a Belgian IPA. It sure does look the part and makes me very anxious to try it out.
The smell is strong with hops and almost no malt at all. It has a slight sweetness to it, fruity, perhaps pineapple and lime. I have a good feeling I'm going to enjoy this.
The blast of bitterness you get with the first sip is a shock. I wasn't expecting that much, but its enjoyable. However some of the smells are lost in this hop overload, otherwise it would have scored higher. It is, without a doubt, a very good beer.
Hopus is a very dry beer and incredibly creamy. Nothing at all to complain about. I'm thoroughly enjoying this beer, and I wish I had more. This comes highly recommended if you're a fan of the style, although I'd stay away if you're shy when it comes to bitter beers.

Beautiful pour into my Chimay chalice.
Big pale foamy head that hangs around. Bubbly effervescence persistent from center of glass. Golden clear Lager-like appearance first pour clouds up later with sediment.
Tart almost skunky taste is enjoyable because of its uniqueness but not something worth seeking out.
One was enough.

Unusual bottle, its an 11.2 ouncer and its a swingtop...rinsed and will be a sauce dispenser of some sort in its next life...this one poured cloudy light tangarine. Sweeter nose with a moderate hony whiff. Pleasant enough Belgian pale, the hops seemed to be on the muted/subtle side, so not sure what makes this one an "IPA". Worth a try but nothing to get overly excited about.

A 330ml bottle with a BB of Jan 2014. Picked up from a Belgian supermarket while on a trip there back in May. Described on the label as strong and bitter. I've had this before on a previous trip to Belgium; I recall that it was poured into a large tulip glass with the yeast presented in a separate shot glass.
Poured into a Delirium chalice (with the lees poured into a small glass). A rich golden hue with faint haze and plentiful carbonation. Produces a vast head of creamy white foam with superb retention; this slowly subsides to a thick surface layer, leaving a fantastic trail of lacing in it's wake. In short, it looks like the perfect Belgian beer. Aroma of warm, fruity yeast esters with hints of clove, banana, pepper, spice, grassy hops, mild herbs, candy sugar, earthiness and a warming background note of alcohol. Not particularly hoppy, but possesses a nice Belgian yeast character.
Tastes of fruity yeast with a grassy, herbal character and a dry finish. Notes of clove, subtle banana, grass, mild herbs, pepper, spice, earthy yeast, sugar and stewed hops. Slightly sweet but dry and well attenuated. A very restrained herbal bitterness upon swallowing, followed by a warming whiff of booze. Mouthfeel is smooth, dry and full-bodied. Tingly and spicy on the tongue - I suspect the high ABV is at play. Somewhat astringent, with an aftertaste of fruity, earthy yeast and dry herbal notes.
Tasty and well-crafted. It certainly isn't a Belgian IPA - more of a strong pale ale. Although the hops are a tad more distinctive compared with your typical Belgian beer, they are grassy and herbal while adding a delicate bitterness. Hopus is no hop bomb. With that said, it has a balanced yeasty character fleshed out with a hint of sweetness and some serious booze. Perfect for appreciating the relative subtleties of Belgian brewing - it goes down nicely. Worth sampling if you chance across it.

Another SDIBF sample. Has a cloudy golden homebrew appearance. Aroma was sweet, honey and clove.
Taste, definitively Euro. Lacking hops, bitterness wasn't attributable to hops. Alcohol pronounced more than anything. A lot of those fruit flavors in beer, while below the radar, just don't jive with my preferences (apple, white grape, clove).

11.2oz bottle poured into a snifter. Best by 2015 02 13.
A: Pours a cloudy golden amber with a dense white head that froths up quickly. While the head dissipates, some good lacing is left on the glass. Lots of visible carbonation.
S: Belgian farmhouse blended with a bitter hop backing. Maltiness comes through giving it a cereal of bready type aroma. A bit of harsh alcohols in there.
T: As with the aroma, the focus of this is on the Belgian characteristics. Spoiled with the IPA's of America, this is much lower on the bitter spectrum. A real nice carmel malting comes through that rounds this out into a tasty beers.
M: Smooth and creamy mouthfeel with a good level of carbonation. Alcohol is warming but not overly hot. A bit sticky from the hops and malt sweetness but still quite drinkable.
Overall this is certainly one of the more bitter beers from Belgium I've tried. That being said the focus still seems a bit heavy on the malt flavors, which do make for a quality beer.

Bottle purchased at a random bottle shop in Brugge, Belgium. Notes from April 2011.
A: Orange gold coloring with a thick foam head. Heavy amounts of lacing were apparent.
S: Citrus and pine from the hops are the main aroma in this beer. There is some malt and Belgian yeast waiting around in the back.
T: After an initial Belgian yeast flavor, the citrus notes from the hops take center stage.
M: Medium body with good carbonation. Alcohol well hidden.
O: This was a total blind buy for my first purchase in Belgium. I tired finding something a similar to what I'm used to back home in Seattle before branching out. Nice combination of a Belgian ale with citrus and pine hop flavor from a typical IPA.

A nice blond with some hoppiness, but nothing extraordinaire. Funky yeasty aromas. Very yellow body with some significant white head. Lacey. A tad below average mouthfeel for the style. Drinkable because of the mild spiciness, which I take as cinammon.

Poured a swing-top into my glass and had a very tall white head with a clear, gold body. I was a bit let down by this beer after hearing good things from friends. There was an astringent alcohol taste for starters. Also, the hops were very mild, hardly bigger than a dry Belgian pale ale. The basic malts reminded me of Duvel - for the white grape, bready taste - but it didn't have the same rich yeast character. I don't know if this had too much aging or too little, or if there's something else going on, but I'd avoid this beer. There are simply better Belgians out there for your time and money.

In my opinion this beer is evidently based on the Barbar Honey Beer of which I'm a great fan. It looks like Lefebvre put some extra hops extract in it in stead of the honey. The result is quite nice, but not very distinguishing.
It looked impressive, that's for sure. The hops were there, but what else?
Tasted hoppy, not overwhelming though.
Overall: reasonable, commercialized beer. Okay but not impressive.

My first review!
This was purchased at McHughs on the Malahide Road, in Dublin, for a whopping 3.99 euro - I had high expectations....
Appearance - Pours a lovely light straw colour. Quite carbonated with a 1-2 inch head.
Smell - Quite sweet. The aroma is overall disappointing - no real hit
Taste - this is a delicate blond. Its light & refreshing, with a hint of citrus. It didn't have an overwhelming alcohol taste considering the high percentage.
Overall, this beer was lackluster. Packing no real punch. However, i'd gladly sip on 1 or 6. Its very drinkable.

Orange amber color with a super thick and firm pure white head and very thick and full lacing. Nose is remarkably light and unassertive. Light yeast and a super light "burnt" remnant. Nose is faint and very unassertive.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with light, almost no, carbonation. Beer is likely balanced but,
Flavors are so weird that mouthfeel is lost in the extreme lemon syrup, thick sweet flavors. Even the finish is a bitter sweet lemon. This sort of tastes like a lemon sauce gone wrong. I can see this perhaps as a type of sauce for cooking but not as a drink. All in all, just too sweet, no carbonation and little appeal.
Having said the foregoing, the cool bottle with the swivel top will likely work to hand bottle some growler left overs! So, buying this one wasn't a total waste.

3.58/5 rDev -3.8%
Poured from a swingtop...
A- Pours a golden hazy color. Two finger white head shows great retention. Chunky lacing left on the sides of the glass.
S- Big time floral hops in this one. Some light spicing and belgian yeasty bread. There is a underlying sweetness to this that seems to be like a powder sugar.
T- A overwhelming sweetness from malts come into play first which I wasn't expecting. Some light spicing and yeast notes come into play at the middle with a floral hop coming through as well. Backend is mostly bitter hops in a underwhelming number when held up to the aroma.
M- Medium mouthfeel. Carbonation is good for the style. Sweet malts and light spicing left on the palate after each sip with bitter hops and light alcohol in the aftertaste. Flavors were faded at times and well balanced at others. Overall light alcohol drying on the palate. Saaz hops make a great floral flavor on the palate midway through the beer.
D- This was a alright beer. Good drinkability on it along with a nice size makes it dangerous at times. A nice belgian style that should help be a gateway into the style.

Adventures in Zambezia
Rated: G
Genre: Animated, Adventure
Street Date: March 26, 2013
Available On: DVD, Blu-ray/DVD Combo
The Film: Kai, a young falcon, runs away from his overprotective father to find adventure in the big bird city of Zambezia.
The Extras: Music Video, "Birds of a Feather," "An African Story," "The Tree City" and "Technical Challenges" Featurettes
Recommendation: "Adventures in Zambezia" (AKA "Zambezia") was produced in South Africa on a fairly modest budget and features the voice talents of Samuel L. Jackson, Jeff Goldblum, Abigail Breslin, Leonard Nemoy and Richard E. Grant. The animation isn't quite on par with the latest Pixar or DreamWorks productions, but it still looks remarkably good. The story is overly predictable and probably won't keep the attention of many adults, but children will certainly enjoy the combination of action, romance and slapstick comedy.

The Viewsonic VX2235wm isn't the best performer and it's not packed with extras, but it's worth a look, thanks to its size and relatively low price.
This 22-inch monitor packs on the features, including full HD video support and specialized picture and color enhancements. If you're looking for a great display to view photos, look no further.
For boardrooms and public spaces in need of a LCD conversation piece, the Dell Crystal might find a home. For those not operating on a bloated corporate budget, however, there are plenty of other 22-inch LCDs that cost a fraction of the cost.
With only a handful of 11-inch laptops still available, serious travelers are flocking to ultrathin 13-inch models instead. But the low price and good battery life of the Sony Vaio E keep it from being counted out.
The Sony DR-BT22 Bluetooth headset offers an effective way to cut the cord from your cell phone or MP3 player, while still enjoying stereo audio.
The Handycam DCR-TRV460 offers an excellent upgrade from an 8mm or Hi8 camcorder, with digital video recording and the ability to view and transfer your old tapes. But if you don't need 8mm or Hi8 compatibility, competing MiniDV cameras offer superior quality in smaller packages.
The internals remain the same, but Samsung's Chrome OS-powered budget PC gets a new look.
The Sony DR-BT22 Bluetooth headset offers an effective way to cut the cord from your cell phone or MP3 player, while still enjoying stereo audio.
The SJ22 lacks some software that comes with the SJ30, but its lower price makes it a great deal for a color Palm PDA.
LG's first device to run Google's Chrome OS is a 21.5-inch all-in-one desktop.

Pope Benedict XVI joined hundreds of millions of people on Twitter. He already has over 679 thousand followers.
But who is @Pontifex following?
"Right at this point, he's only following seven accounts," said digital media strategist Carlos Roig. "They are all official Vatican accounts. In fact, they are seven iterations of his own account. They are translated accounts in a variety of languages from Spanish to Portuguese, Arabic and Italian. So, at this point, he's not following anyone. They have indicated in their conversations that they don't intend too. Now, that very well may change."
The pope sent out his first tweet around 5:40 a.m. Wednesday.
It read, "Dear friends, I am pleased to get in touch with you through Twitter. Thank you for your generous response. I bless all of you from my heart."

How Will the Uninsured in New York Fare Under the Affordable Care Act?
This state report explains how the ACA expands coverage in New York, including a breakdown of how many uninsured people are eligible for Medicaid, how many are eligible for financial assistance to help them buy private insurance in the new Marketplace and how many will not receive any financial assistance at all. The report also details, in specific dollar figures, the income levels at which people in New York are eligible for Medicaid or financial assistance in the Marketplace. For states not expanding Medicaid, the report quantifies how many uninsured people fall into the "coverage gap," meaning they will be ineligible for financial assistance in the Marketplace or for Medicaid in their state despite having an income below the federal poverty level.Fact Sheet Read More

Shutter lifecycle is irrelevant. Almost nobody ever wears out a shutter on any DSLR, let alone a consumer model,
Not so: Shooting brackets (3+ shutter cycles per shot), focus stacking (10-20+ cycles) and using live view with quick af (one cycle very af action) I'm now on 125k cycles on my 60d after about two years.
I wrote, "almost nobody." Clearly, there are people who wear out a shutter. But very few.
And, I'll also note: it's taken you two years to reach the official shutter count, and you've probably got at least another year, quite reasonably two, left before your 60D will need a replacement shutter. You, one of the exceptional people who might actually wear out a shutter, are probably going to wind up spending an average cost of about $0.25 / day on the camera's shutter. Over the course of a month, it'll cost you less than many spend on a single drink at Starbucks. I hardly think that qualifies as something that should even be on anybody's radar.
QuoteDual memory card slots are irrelevant to all but a very small minority of shooters, too...essentially, the only ones who care are those who need a redundant backup, and they're all shooting with two bodies anyway.
That doesn't make sense: Another body doesn't protect you from card failure, i.e. coming home and the data isn't readable but the camera thought it was written just fine. For many, no dual cards disqualifies a 70d or 6d as a backup body for a "pro" first camera 7d2/5d3 - probably what Canon intends.
I'll agree that dual cards are useful for backups for professionals doing event photography. I just don't see the 70D positioned as such a camera.
Look at it this way: the difference in price between what's listed in this rumor and the 7D from reputable retailers is $50. What pro is even going to bother to pretend that the 70D is a reasonable alternative to a 7D? If you're making money at this and $50 is going to sway your decision, you're not going to be making money for long. The price difference between the 5DII and the 5DIII is $500, again not enough to be a factor in a business decision -- if you can't afford the extra $500, you're in the worng business. (Not that you should just blindly get the more expensive camera, just that price should be pretty far down on your list of decision-making criteria. If you don't need anything that the extra $500 gets you, don't spend the $500. But if anything that extra $500 gets you will be useful, you shouldn't be hesitating to get it just because it's an extra $500.)

Thieves shoot man and take his van
Police are appealing for witnesses after a 43-year-old man was injured as he tried to prevent thieves from stealing his van near his home in Rye.
The victim was told men were trying to break into his Toyota Hilux van in Rye Harbour Road just before midnight on Saturday, 11th August.
He went out to investigate and was confronted by men, who drove at him with their dark coloured car. He jumped out of the way and was shot at with an air rifle suffering injuries to his face. The callous thieves then towed away his van, which has an Environment Agency sign on it, and made off.
– Detective Inspector Hannah Willard, Sussex Police
This was a violent attack and we are doing all we can to trace these men. The van was found just over an hour later in Charing, Kent, and it is being forensically examined. The victim is being treated for pellet wounds to his face and we will be talking to him to get as much information as possible. Extensive enquiries are being made and I would urge anyone with information to contact detectives on 101 or the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
The victim is being treated for his injuries at the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford and his condition is stable.

Not all criminals are remembered for being smart...
Captain Troy Elwell, Aiken County Sheriff's Office: "Occasionally, we do get the individuals that there is no way to describe it other than dumb crook."
And, some of their crimes are just bizarre...
Sergeant Jake Mahoney, Aiken Department of Public Safety: "In 2004, we had a suspect enter the Security Federal Bank holding a four-foot long rusty pitchfork. He threatened the cashiers and staff of the bank and demanded money."
Talk about pitching a fit...police say he got away with the cash, but he forgot his pitchfork.
Sgt. Mahoney: "He still remains at large today."
It seems people will do just about anything for money...like in 2007. A 31-year-old man entered a bank and tried to open an account. To make his first deposit, he handed the clerk a one million dollar bill.
Capt. Elwell: "Of course, she told him it was fake and he started screaming and cussing."
Deputies took him to jail and charged him with disorderly conduct.
Viewer: "That guy is crazy."
Viewer: "Um, well in an economy like this, I don't blame him."
More recently, there's the cross-dressing crook. A man dressed as a woman and tried to rob Porky Bradberry's Jewelry.
Porky Bradberry: "You could tell, without a doubt, that it was a man."
The clerk shot the robber...the robber shot Bradberry and then the crook took off...leaving a trail of women's clothing behind.
Lieutenant David Turno, Aiken Department of Public Safety: "He got into the Aiken Estates neighborhood...it's a large neighborhood. He couldn't find his way out, he was driving around in different areas, tossing items out as he drove."
It was not the best getaway.
Neighter is this one...well, depending on how you look at it. It was a stickup...literally.
Robbery suspect: "Put the damn money in the register."
The robber covered his face with a towel, goes behind the convenience store register, strikes the clerk with a tree branch...and takes the money.
Clerk: "That was Ricky New! That was Ricky New!"
New then ran out of the store...and tried to make a getaway on his custom-built lawnmower. But...he didn't get very far. New was sent to jail and he's now serving 18 years for armed robbery…. with a stick.
Kait Rayner, reporting: "Just when police thought they saw the last of the stickup bandit. A letter arrived...addressed to the Sheriff."
Capt. Elwell: "We received a drawing from the Aiken County Detention Center with a letter attached which says, 'Sheriff Hunt, can I have my ride back? I miss it so much. Please take care of it, I'll be out one day.' And there's a name on it, its Ricky New."
Deputies can't be sure new sent it...but the drawing is almost identical to his lawnmower.
Capt. Elwell: "As soon as you think you've seen it all, somebody comes up with something else that you go, 'I don't think, you know, what they were thinking when they tried that."

Junichi Okada getting cosy with co-star?
Rumour has it Junichi Okada is getting close to his upcoming movie co-star Nana Eikura, reports Nikkan Saizo on October 24.
Junichi Okada's movie starts in Japan
V6's Junichi Okada and the cast of his new movie 天地明察 (Tenchimeisatsu) visited a movie theatre in Tokyo to celebrate its premiere on September 15, reports Sankei Sports.
Johnny's talents Okada and Kanjani8's Yu Yokoyama took part in an event in the Marunouchi Picadilly 1, Tokyo, on Saturday.
One of the movie's actors and Japanese kabuki performer Somegoro Ichikawa was absent from the event due to an injury during one of his own stage shows. The actor had left a letter apologising for his absence, to which Okada said he hoped Ichikawa would get better soon.
"I hope he can recover as soon as possible, and we can see him dancing gracefully on stage again," he said.
The star watching apparatus used in the movie was also on special display on Saturday.
V6 leader Sakamoto becomes new TV chef
V6 leader Masayuki Sakamoto will swap the microphone and fancy costumes for an apron and kitchen knife from April, it was announced on March 14, reports Sankei Sports.
It has been reported Fuji TV is starting a new show on April 2 called "ノンストップ! (Nonstop!)" (Mon ~ Fri from 9:55am), which will feature a cooking session every Friday lead by Sakamoto.
The V6 leader has said his family owns a grocery shop and so he practically grew up surrounded by food and cooking.
"Enjoy watching how I can use a kitchen knife and frying pan!"
In the past Sakamoto has even said how cooking is more than a hobby for him.
"It's a dream of mine to own a small restaurant, something like 30-metres-squared," he said.
It has been reported the cooking session will also feature Sakamoto going out to buy the ingredients himself, giving people the chance to see where their food comes from and who makes it.

Obama pins government shutdown on Boehner
ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) - President Barack Obama says House Speaker John Boehner is the only thing standing in the way of reopening the federal government.
Obama is speaking at a small business just outside of Washington on the third day of the shutdown. He says Boehner is preventing a vote on a funding bill because he doesn't want to anger "extremists" in his party.
The president is calling on Boehner to quickly hold a vote on a bill free of extra demands. The president met with Boehner and other congressional leaders at the White House for more than an hour Wednesday, but no agreement was reached.
Obama says the longer the shutdown goes on, the worse the impact on the U.S. economy will be.

North Jefferson News
— Good Tuesday morning to you…
Weather: Still soggy. The National Weather Service has continued its flash flood watch through this afternoon, as rain continues to fall over saturated ground today. As another system moves through Alabama after lunch, rain will become heavy at times, with perhaps one to two inches today. Highs will be in the middle 50s with lows in the middle 40s. Skies will clear tomorrow.
Benedict XVI to step down. For the first time in nearly 600 years, a sitting pope will resign from the Holy See. Pope Benedict XVI announced his decision in a speech given in Latin to a small group of cardinals on Monday. The former Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, 85, said he no longer had the vitality to continue the job, The Wall Street Journal reported. Popes normally serve until death; the last to resign was Gregory XII in 1415, who stepped down to settle a dispute among those who claimed the Throne of the Fisherman. Cardinals are expected to convene to elect a new pope before Easter.
Kim Jong-Nuke. North Korea confirmed early Tuesday that it fired a nuclear device in an underground test, sparking a wave of criticism of the United Nations as well as China, North Korea's last remaining ally. The UN Security Council is calling an emergency meeting for Tuesday to consider further sanctions against the hard-line communist country.
Sports: Indians, Blue Devils win. Pinson Valley won its first Class 5A boys basketball area championship in more than a decade on Monday night, edging host Center Point 57-56. Not far away, Mortimer Jordan had a much easier time, dispatching Walker with relative ease for its Area 14 title. Both the Indians and Blue Devils will host sub-regional playoff games on Friday night. The Indians' girls did not fare as well, as No. 2 Center Point rolled to the area championship… College softball: If you're a Mortimer Jordan fan who was hoping to see two pairs of former Blue Devil players square off against each other on Tuesday, we have some bad news. South Alabama, which rosters Blair Johnson and Alyssa Linn, was scheduled to play at top-ranked Alabama, where Haylie McCleney and Danae Hays are starters. But rain has forced the game to be called off; no word on if it will be rescheduled.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Some big wheels from over 20 local companies went head to head on the go-kart track Saturday.
The 8th annual Peoria Area Grand Prix was held at Finish Line Ford.
The event raises money for Junior Achievement of Central Illinois and goes toward that organization's financial literacy and job readiness programs.
Several of the racers shelled out some pretty big bucks.
"We've got folks paying anywhere from a hundred to $5,000 to race," said Larry Timm, president of Junior Achievement of Central Illinois. "What everyone is here to see is Caterpillar versus Komatsu, four heats. We have board members from both companies and the bottom line is its just a wonderful day of racing."
Junior Achievement reaches about 15,000 kids in central Illinois. Organizers were hoping the event would bring in $25,000.

A couple of people have sent me this clip from a Japanese TV show, either because (a) they know that anything that parodies Usain Bolt has a better-than-average chance of being linked up, or (b) they're aware of my unwavering, disgusting fascination with blackface. And honestly, the entire movie industry was founded on blackface. Yes, it's reprehensible in this day and age for someone in America to do it, but I don't remember Japan kidnapping and then enslaving boatloads of Africans to build their agricultural output that would serve as the foundation for their economy for generations to come and help nurture the industrialization that would make them the world's last true hegemon. Americans should never do blackface again, but only because it's so damn cheap to let other nations do it for us. –Sporting Blog, Last Angry Fan.

John McCain, the U.S. Senator from Arizona and 2008 Republican candidate for U.S. President, campaigned for Linda McMahon in Danbury Monday amid cheers and a welcoming crowd of more than 350 people.
McCain was greeted at the driveway to the Disabled American Veterans Hall by more than a dozen U.S. flags held by members of the Minutemen Riders. The riders are a group of motorcyclists who are ready at a minute's notice to fly flags to honor returning veterans and for other worthy occasions, said Gold Star Mother Jean Mariano of New Milford.
"We welcome home military members," said Mariano, who lost her son, Jason Lewis, of Brookfield, a U.S. Navy Seal, in July 2007. "We were happy to be here."
McCain is a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, and both his grandfather and father were Admirals in the U.S. Navy, said Bill McCarthy, commander of Chapter 25, Disabled American Veterans.
"John McCain is a disabled veteran. He spent four or five years a captive," said McCarthy, a Vietnam War veteran who served two tours of duty in Vietnam.
McCarthy said in hosting the event the hall wasn't taking sides in the election. He said people can rent the hall and it's available for Chris Murphy, McMahon's opponent in the November election, whenever he wants to rent it. He said members of the chapter were proud to honor McCain.
In his campaign speech for McMahon, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Connecticut, McCain said he wants to repeal Obamacare, the health care bill passed by President Obama and upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. McCain said he wants veterans to encourage people to vote in November.
"This election rests on the veterans," McCain said. "Turn out the vote. I want each of you to call 50 people. Even call your mother-in-law. This is a call to action," McCain said.
McCain said the war in Iraq is unraveling, because the President told everyone we were leaving.
"We won the war. We're losing the peace," McCain said. "This president talks about withdrawing and leaving. He doesn't talk about winning."
McMahon told the gathering she wanted to help returning veterans, and the best way to do that is to improve the economy.
"The best we can [do] to help our veterans is make sure they have a job," McMahon said. "I want to make sure you have a job."

Parking Problems In Evergreen Park
Original post made by Resident on Aug 27, 2009
on Aug 27, 2009 at 11:10 pm
You should have asked her to just leave if she didn't call the police on HER
on Aug 28, 2009 at 7:43 am
Resident from Evergreen Park; I'm sorry to tell you but all public streets are public, they are not designated for the exclusive use of the homeowners who just happens to live on that section of the street. I would suggest to park in your driveway, garage or carport to unload your groceries.
on Aug 28, 2009 at 8:51 am
Yes, they are public streets. My issue was more with the lack of willingness to work together, and the fact that an employee of Dr. Mulcahy's office came to my home to threaten me. The Dr. basically told me we would never be able to get parking permits, and was condescending to say the least. I believe we will end up getting the parking permits. I am just hoping not to be harassed by his employees!

Planting in August
Anyone who plants a vegetable garden wants to benefit by yielding as much as possible.
Those who plant large gardens often find themselves covered with dirt and sweat, questioning whether it's really worth it. People with smaller gardens can feel the same way when they only get a small taste of something mouth-wateringly delicious. But with a little planning, succession planting can boost home-garden production.
Sometimes called multiple cropping, succession planting refers to methods used to increase and extend crop harvest. These methods, which are often used by small-scale commercial growers, maximize the use of garden space and effective planting and harvest timing.
There are several approaches. The method you can best use right now is also the one that I see most widely used in the North Country. It involves planting two or more crops in sequence.
For example, in many gardens, vegetables with intermediate maturing times that were planted early (beets, carrots, turnips, peas, cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi) are now being, or have been, harvested. Once those harvests are completed, standard gardeners will leave that space unplanted. Succession gardeners will immediately plant a fast-growing crop, such as head or leaf lettuce, spinach, carrots, kale or radishes in that space.
Or they may transplant vegetable plants that have been growing in containers up to now into the garden. The crops most widely chosen for transplanting are Cole crops such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and cabbage, all crops that will not be damaged and whose quality may actually be improved by exposure to frost.
Knowledgeable gardeners choose early maturing varieties, which helps assure a bountiful late-season harvest. Catalog descriptions and seed-packet instructions should provide information such as days to harvest, spacing requirements and whether or not the variety is frost tolerant.
Cool-season crops are often pre-sprouted for late-season planting. To pre-sprout seeds, moisten a white paper towel so it's wet but not dripping. Without crowding the seeds, sprinkle them over half of the towel and cover them with the other half. Be sure the seeds make good contact with the towel.
Fold again as needed until the towel fits into a zip-lock sandwich baggie. Keep the seeds cool. Inspect daily to make sure the towel stays moist and to see if the seeds have sprouted. So they won't be damaged, transplant seeds into the garden as soon as they've sprouted, before roots have a chance to get tangled or grow into the towel. Be sure mold doesn't form inside the baggie. (Note that this method also works when used to germinate heat-loving plants in the cool of early spring. Optimal germination temperatures should be on seed packets and in catalogs.)
Another approach commonly used for lettuce and other salad greens is planting at timed intervals. The result is a continuous harvest extended over a period of weeks or months.
Companion planting, or intercropping, is a third approach. This entails growing two or more crops that will not compete with each other for space, nutrients, water or sunlight in the same space at the same time. Often, a deep-rooted crop is planted with a shallow rooted one or a crop that will grow tall is planted with a shorter, shade-tolerant one. By intercropping, you can achieve a much higher yield than if you were to plant just one. When properly done, the results will be plants that are thriving in a garden that is aesthetically pleasing.
A perfect and perhaps prehistoric example is the Native American three sisters; corn, pole beans and squash. These three plants, when grown together, form a healthy ecosystem of insects and soil organisms. As the plants mature, the beans put nitrogen into the soil, which greatly benefits the corn. The corn provides a support upon which the beans can grow. The squash provides ground cover, shading the soil and retaining moisture.
Together they promote soil conservation, deter predators and help prevent erosion. From a dietary standpoint, the gardener harvests corn, a grain abundant in carbohydrates; beans, which provide protein; and squash, which is rich in vitamin A.
Being observant and taking notes will help with making adjustments. Keep in mind, though, that the varieties you choose, soil quality and weather will all affect plant growth and maturation.

Does anyone have studies, good articles, etc on the effects of meal timing, particularly amounts, with regards to weight loss/gain in general populations?
I don't have too much free time to go digging.
Apparently eating alot before bed is extremely bad for you (sarcasm) Oh, and fat makes you fat.
I typically try to keep my mouth shut in class, but I may have to go on the offensive against a particular professor. If it gets ugly I need ample ammunition, so hand it over
Last edited by Slim Schaedle; 01-31-2007 at 11:27 AM.
I've seen studies posted here that indicated that it doesn't really matter how you time your meals when it comes to losing weight. What I mean by that is, if your daily cutting calories are set at 2000 cals, it doesn't matter if you eat 4 x 500 cals, or 1 x 2000.
Of course, when you consider practical issues, I think it makes more sense to spread the calories out for controlled hunger and other mental factors.
Last edited by Vapour Trails; 01-31-2007 at 11:52 AM.
That's a picture of Scarlett Johansson.
Overall, the most important thing to know is the fact that if caloric intake exceeds expendature, the surplus calories will likely be stored as fat.
However, there are a few things to know about timing though.
1) Calories consumed early in the day are more likely to be expended. Calories available at night when your body is has a low need for energy is more likely to be converted to stores for future use.
2) Given that the overall intake of calories is the same, more meals is better. If someone eats one large meal per day as opposed to many small ones, their body assumes a mini circadian cycle of starvation mode. Large gaps or fluctuations in energy availability can set the body's systems into more efficient store of calories
Not to sound ungrateful, but I know the ins and outs of the material, theories, etc.
I just need some people to spoon feed me the evidence (links, etc) since I don't have too much time do it myself.
I'd rather slap a bunch of papers in the professors face rather than spend countless minutes trying to deabte with someone that has many more letters behind their name.
But, a little healthy conversation amongst ourselves never hurt anyone.

Thanks so far everyone.
I will check these out.
I will admit to being somewhat search-lazy on this one.
The topic was just enough to get me pissed off in class, especially since my personal anecdotal evidence was "an exception to the rule" (whatever the **** the rule is) and the majority of the class agreed. ****ers.
That's ok, b/c then we practiced skin fold calipers and I had the lowest out of everyone.
(the course is nutrition assessment methods and I was asked to answer one of the case study questions pertaining to eating the majority of calories late at night)
I'm looking to see if I can come up with anything.(the course is nutrition assessment methods and I was asked to answer one of the case study questions pertaining to eating the majority of calories late at night)
Answer to the above case study is: Calories can't tell time. We still need energy while we sleep. I know you know this. Why can't everybody understand this.
I guess we just need a bunch of fancy letters after our name...

Question: I asked this to Mr. D and he gave a good reply, but I want to see different views.
I always thought if you took in carbs late night when the body never needed them - you would spill over to fat storages since the body didn't have much use for them. Even if you're not going over cals wouldn't they still store? I know the body needs energy throughout the night - but that much?
If you are below maintenance, it doesn't matter if you eat carbs before bed. They will be used because you ARE below maintenance. Used for your body's basic metabolic functioning.
No. Probably 18.75g
Don't overlook the body's capacity and abilty to store glycogen.
I had 315g carbs immediately before bed last night.
Slim my advice to you:
Treat your classmates like any bozo you bump into in the gym or just in daily life. Assume they will never be able to have a conversation with you on your level.
