Week one of training wrapped up on Friday for Atlantic City's thirteen newest fire fighters, who will be learning the "ins and outs" of the job for the next eight weeks.
The lifestyle of a fire fighter is one these men know can't be learned in just one week, but Atlantic City's newest hires say they never expected it to be this hard.
"I came in here with an idea of what it might be and then when I got here it was heightened so much more than what I thought," said firefighter recruit, Adrian Wilson.
But recruit Eric Koob say's the mental and the physical strain will be worth it in the end.
"I love learning all of the emergency techniques and what we will have to do when stuff escalates and hits the fan."
But before they can go into a burning building they need to finish learning the basics.
"There's a good amount of reading to do every night and then quizzes first thing the next day," said recruit, Tim Brining.
Once they learn terminology, it's time to officially gear up by learning the ins and outs of the oxygen tank.
"Today was the first day with them," said Mauro Sandoval. "Learned how to turn them off, clip them correctly and making a nice seal on your face."
Learning how to properly use and wear an oxygen tank is one of the most important basic training skills of becoming a fire fighter.
Not only could it save the life of a fire fighter inside of a burning building, Captain Angelo DeMaio say's it could also save anyone who might already be inside.
"We have rip packs and buddy breathers that are on our air packs and hoses we can pull out of them."
The recruits had a chance to use the tanks when they faced the smoke for the first time, in a simulated smoke house. Which these men say leaves them ready and willing to jump into action when the bell rings.
The new firefighters were hired thanks to a "SAFER Grant" awarded to the department two years ago.
NBC40 will follow their progress once a week for the duration of their training.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

Confidence Man
The case for Bush is the case against him.
"I know exactly where I want to lead this country," says George W. Bush in one of his new campaign ads. The ad, along with three others that began airing today, concludes with his official campaign theme: "President Bush. Steady leadership in times of change." In the revamped stump speech he has delivered twice in the last two weeks, Bush calls the election "a choice between an America that leads the world with strength and confidence, or an America that is uncertain in the face of danger."
And how does Bush view his challenger, John Kerry? The title of the attack ad posted on Bush's campaign Web site says it all: "Unprincipled."
Kerry thinks it's the other way around. He's been telling Democrats Bush is "the biggest say-one-thing, do-another" president ever. Yesterday Kerry's campaign responded to Bush's ads by accusing the president of "unsteady leadership." In the Democratic primaries, this accusation worked for Kerry, because liberals think Bush is a liar. But most voters don't, for a good reason: It isn't true. If Kerry makes the election a referendum on Bush's honesty, Bush will win.
How can Kerry persuade moderates to throw out Bush? By turning the president's message against him. Bush is steady and principled. He believes money is better spent by individuals than by the government. He believes the United States should assert its strength in the world. He believes public policy should respect religious faith. Most Americans share these principles and think Bush is sincere about them. The problem Bush has demonstrated in office is that he has no idea how to apply his principles in a changing world. He's a big-picture guy who can't do the job.
From foreign to economic to social policy, Bush's record is a lesson in the limits and perils of conviction. He's too confident to consult a map. He's too strong to heed warnings and too steady to turn the wheel when the road bends. He's too certain to admit error, even after plowing through ditches and telephone poles. He's too preoccupied with principle to understand that principle isn't enough. Watching the stars instead of the road, he has wrecked the budget and the war on terror. Now he's heading for the Constitution. It's time to pull him over and take away the keys.
Bush was right to go to war against the terrorists who struck us on 9/11. He was right to demand the overdue use of force against the scofflaw Iraqi regime. But he couldn't tell the difference between the two threats. He figured that since both Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden were evil, they had to be connected. Saddam must have helped orchestrate the 9/11 attacks. He must have built weapons of mass destruction to sell to al-Qaida.
In recent months, congressional hearings and document leaks have unearthed a disturbing history. Again and again in 2001 and 2002, U.S. intelligence agencies sent signals that Bush was wrong. The FBI and CIA debunked putative links between Iraq and al-Qaida. The CIA rejected the claim that Iraq had tried to buy uranium from Africa. In its National Intelligence Estimate, the CIA calculated that it could take Saddam up to five years to make a nuclear weapon and that he would transfer WMD to terrorists only if he were invaded. The Defense Intelligence Agency advised the administration that there was "no reliable information on whether Iraq is producing or stockpiling chemical weapons." The Air Force disputed the suggestion that Iraq had developed aerial drones capable of delivering chemical or biological toxins. Analysts questioned whether the White House was right that Saddam's aluminum tubes were designed for building nukes, or that two trucks the White House found suspicious were designed for making biological weapons.
Bush ignored every one of these warnings. They couldn't be true, because they didn't fit his theory. He couldn't stand the complexity of the facts or the ambiguity of intelligence. "Until we get rid of Saddam Hussein, we won't get rid of uncertainty," he told aides in November 2002. Four months later, on the eve of his invasion of Iraq, he declared, "Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised." After the war, when Diane Sawyer asked Bush about the discrepancy between what he had said--"that there were weapons of mass destruction"--and what U.S. inspectors had found--"the possibility that [Saddam] could move to acquire those weapons"--Bush replied, "What's the difference?"
That's Bush all over: Certainty. No doubt. No difference. But it makes a difference to Britain, France, and Mexico, which no longer trust our requests, based on U.S. intelligence, to cancel flights to the United States. And it makes a difference to China, which refuses to accept our report, based on U.S. intelligence, that North Korea is operating a highly enriched uranium program. Bush's overconfidence—reflected in a series of exaggerations wholly unnecessary to the punishment of Saddam for his noncompliance with U.N. inspections—has trashed our credibility and cost us vital help with other terrorist and WMD-related threats.
Bush was right to propose tax cuts in 1999. The economy was booming. The surplus was ballooning. Liberals were itching to spend the money on new programs, despite Bill Clinton's promises to pay down the national debt. Bush wanted to get the money out of Washington before that happened. That's why, under his plan, the size of the tax cut was to grow from year to year. The point was to keep the surplus from piling up, refunding more and more money as it poured in from a growing economy. That's also why Bush cut taxes across the board instead of targeting middle-class families who would spend the money immediately. He wasn't trying to stimulate the economy. He was trying to give the money back to the people who had paid it in, which meant largely the rich.

Great thread!
I haven't been to ALL the ST opening days but have seen them all in their first week which I also do for Bond, Star Wars, Lethal Weapon, Indianna Jones, Batman, Superman, X-Men, Die Hard and Bourne movies. It's what I do since I believe these films are better on a bigger screen and with lots of other fans ..... it adds to the "experience".
It does sadden me when it feels like it is the LAST one due to poor box office. But time has proven that with a fanbase there studios become aware there is money to be made. I truly thought I'd never see another ST movie after ST: Nemisis, not because I did not enjoy it but because it did not make a lot of money. It was not the best swan song, but really, Data was starting to age and the rest of the cast (as Roger Moore once said about his Bond) was getting "long in the tooth".
Who knows, someday Voyager, DS9 and (dare I say) Enterprise might be made into films with a different cast and some of us fans in wheel chairs will be screaming "Canon!" as our grandkids are truly enjoying what they see.
That's why I believe this film should be made for today's audience because it is getting a fresh start and may continue until this new cast is 90 years old like Shat and Nemoy are now. "Canon" fans still have what they love on VHS, DVD, Bluray and someday implanted directly into their brain. For me TOS died with bones and scotty and ST:VI was a wonderful swan song for that cast.
Let a new generation of fans watch this new film and, it being their first trek experience, they will be diving into the 1,000's of hours of Trek's past that we all know and love and ST will live forever. Also have faith in the studios because every so often a fan get's a job there and "Wham", something we love comes back. Personally, I'm still waiting for "Bill and Ted III".

Earl Barron was just waved. He's just what we need. I have a feeling we might just grab him for the vet min.
Also Houston might get Samuel Dalembert, and if that's the case I would assume Thabeet would be amnestied.
Thabeet would be my second choice but would be a potential upgrade over Steimsma for our backup center.
Przybilla might still be worth waiting for but he won't decide anything until after Christmas.

Turkish program wins honor
"SUNY's dual-diploma program greatly enhances the nature and quality of the education we are able to offer and the diversity of the student body on our campuses," SUNY Chancellor John R. Ryan said. "SUNY's dual-diploma program with Turkey has become a model for how we wish to work with other countries in our effort to globalize our campuses."
The dual-diploma program won the award for International Exchange Partnerships, which recognizes institutions for developing innovative and effective collaborative programs with counterparts abroad. The International Exchange Partnerships award is new for 2006-07 and SUNY is the inaugural winner.
Binghamton University has played a central role in the dual-diploma program's success, said H. Stephen Straight, vice provost for undergraduate education and international affairs. The University has enrolled more Turkish students and offers more areas of study to them than any of the other six participating SUNY campuses.
Students typically spend freshman and junior years at their home campus and their sophomore and senior years abroad. The program exposes the students to two cultures and two educational systems.
"The dual-diploma program idea deserves highlighting," Straight said. "This notion of alternating years of study is, to the best of our knowledge, unique to the Turkey programs that SUNY has developed. We are already seeing other institutions picking up on the idea for their international efforts."
Students enrolled in the dual-diploma program must fulfill the academic requirements of their SUNY and Turkish institutions and as a result receive a diploma from each school.
The dual-diploma programs were offered through the Turkish Higher Education Council placement exam for the first time in 2003 and the first class will graduate this year. Roughly 300 students are now enrolled at Binghamton, with half on campus at any one time.

U of M researchers receive national grants to help improve agricultural productivity, grow more nutritious foods and fight devastating plant parasites
November 10, 2010
Three University of Minnesota researchers have won new research awards from the National Science Foundation (NSF) that will help advance the world's understanding of plants and their genes.
The U of M projects are among 28 new NSF Plant Research Program (PGRP) projects that have been awarded a total of $101.9 million to improve the nation's ability to enhance agricultural productivity, grow nutritious foods and diminish the effects of devastating plant parasites.
The recipients are: Assistant Professor Adrian Hegeman and Gordon and Margaret Bailey Professor Jerry Cohen, Department of Horticultural Science, College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, and Associate Professor Nathan Springer, Department of Plant Biology, College of Biological Sciences. Hegeman also holds an appointment in the Department of Plant Biology. All three faculty are also in the Microbial and Plant Genomics Institute at the University of Minnesota.
The PGRP projects use the techniques of modern genomics – sequencing and analyzing genetic material – to advance our understanding of how plant genes function and govern plants' interactions with the environment in economically important crop species, including barley, corn, cotton, rice, soybean, tomato and wheat. Each project will also incorporate outreach and educational activities, engaging K–12, community college and undergraduate students and teachers, as well as the public, in plant-related activities.
Hegeman and Cohen will receive more than $1.9 million over three years for their project, "Improving the Quantity and Quality of Plant Metabolomics Information." They will develop techniques to measure the dynamics of the metabolome, the set of small molecules that result from metabolism. Metabolomics has become an important area of research that complements and extends analysis of nucleic acids (DNA) and proteins.
Although the work will focus on rice and tomato, the methods and procedures are expected to be applicable to many plant species. The project will also organize a summer workshop in metabolomics and engage primarily undergraduate institutions as well as research-intensive universities. More information about this award is available at www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward.do?AwardNumber=0923960.
Springer and co-principal investigator Matthew Vaughn, University of Texas at Austin, will receive more than $1.6 million over three years for their project, "Maize Epigenomic Variation." Epigenetic variation refers to heritable changes that are not due to changes in DNA but to other types of modification of the sequences, usually the addition or removal of methyl groups to the DNA.
The team will be looking at methylation patterns in maize as compared with existing datasets on genes and phenotypes. This phenomenon is not well understood but can lead to large changes in phenotype, which is important for plant breeding and crop improvement. More information about this award is available at http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward.do?AwardNumber=0922095.

Spartanburg County deputies said they are investigating a home invasion that led to a fatal shooting at a home in Wellford.
Deputies said they received a 911 call at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday about a burglary in progress at a home on Tanglewood Road.
Investigators later learned that two armed intruders broke into the home, where one of them put a gun to the female resident's head, according to the deputy's report.
The woman said she was listening to music on her iPad and watching TV when she felt something cold and metallic against her head and turned to see the robber, deputies said.
One of the men then got into a physical altercation with woman's husband, according to deputies. Lt. Tony Ivey with the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office said during the altercation, the suspect dropped his gun then took off running, which the male resident picked up.
The other intruder then fired shots at the homeowner who returned fire, deputies said. Ivey said at least one of the suspects was shot. He was found dead in the driveway with a gunshot wound to his face, Ivey said.
Deputies said the second burglar ran away and search dogs were brought in to find him but did not locate him.
Deputies said neither resident was injured during the home invasion. Ivey said investigators do not yet know if the victims new the intruders but believe the motive of the home invasion was robbery.
Coroner Rusty Clevenger identified the man killed as 21-year-old Delano Anthony Turner, of Wellford.
Turner's uncle, Fred Turner, said he was the cousin of the homeowner who fired the gun.
Deputies said Tuesday that Turner did have active warrants against him when he was shot.
Fred Turner told FOX Carolina's Adrian Acosta that his nephew, the homeowner, did not recognize Delano Turner because he had a bandana over his face.
An autopsy will be performed Wednesday but the man's name has not yet been released.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.

I feel compelled to write up a Fanpost in address to Raiders fans with high expectations of this upcoming season in order to deliver one simple message: lower your expectations of this season.
Raiders fans are a notoriously passionate and rambunctious bunch of optimists. Probably every single season since 2003, I've bragged to my friends and coworkers about the up-and-coming Raiders squad with lines such as "yeah but this year we signed Javon Walker and Deangelo Hall," "yeah but Jamarcus is finally going to produce in his third year," and "yeah but McFadden is due for a healthy season." I won't do it anymore. I have to set aside my homerism and look at this team for what it is...a massive question mark. Now when I talk football with my friends, my line is "it's anyone's guess." You know what? I'm right. We have absolutely no idea how this team will perform. I can't remember a more renovated Raiders team in the 15 years I've been following them. It's not all bad, though. Our offense might be an embarrassing, sucking chest wound of a unit, but our defense and special teams have surely both improved.
I will pick a fight with anyone who challenges me on whether or not our defense has improved this year. I look at our defense and I see improvement at every single one of those eight turned-over starting positions except defensive tackle. At FS, we go from the one-step-slow but generally all around good guy Matt Giordano to future HoF Charles Woodson. You can debate about how much Charles has left in the tank, how injury prone he is, or how many snaps he'll play on Sundays, but you cannot argue that he isn't a MAJOR upgrade over Giordano. Even if Woodson doesn't play a single snap of football, even his backup Usama Young would be a major upgrade over Giodano. Fuhgettabouddit. I don't even need to address our CB unit because last season's arguable best CB (Huff had some moments), Philip Adams, is now our distant fourth best. Opposing QB's will not torch us this year like they did last year. What was perhaps the weakest single unit in the entire NFL is likely to be above average this upcoming season. Look out! Dennis Allen, formerly highly touted secondary coach now has a talented group to work with. I like where this defense is headed on the whole and our secondary is a big reason for that.
So our defense will be better (and I don't think there is even an argument to be had), but our offense could legitimately vie for one of the bottom five in the league. Matt Flynn is wholly unproven as an NFL QB. His detractors might say that he was pathetically beaten our by an undersized third round rookie after a disappointing training camp, and his defendants, that Wilson was no ordinary rookie who would've beaten out even much better QB's than Flynn. Maybe we should just take the word of a Seahawk blogger who clearly tracked last offseason's developments with great attention:
"What we do know is that Flynn was this close to starting for Seattle. He did not lay an egg in training camp. He was not outclassed by a rookie. A coaching staff and front office that knew their legacy would be defined by the decision they made at quarterback chose to put their weight behind the player they had targeted for more than a year. They chose the player whose tireless work ethic gave them confidence he would overcome the challenges he was certain to face.
The simple story that will be told is that a high-priced free agent was beaten out by an upstart rookie. There is certainly some truth to that simplicity. I see a hard luck player that partially misread the situation he was entering, and was partially misled about what he was being brought in to do. He was the guy the front office expected to win the starting job, but was never the guy they wanted to win it. He was a player that handled devastating professional news privately, and without incident."
While you could consider this is a somewhat uplifting summary of the Seahawks camp decision to start Wilson over Flynn, it is far from a glowing endorsement of the guy. When you consider the ridiculously young supporting cast around Flynn, what kind of production would it be fair to expect of him? 15-20 touchdowns and 10-15 interceptions? 3,250 yards? I'm sorry, but if you're expecting anything too different from that, you're just setting yourself up for a major disappointment. View Flynn as a rookie. View him as the inexperienced, youth-surrounded QB he is. The statistical trends are crystal clear; the NFL offense is increasingly becoming pass-heavy and we have a player who is likely to be very mediocre under center.
Maybe you're more optimistic on Flynn than I am. After all, he did put up some gridiron-crumbling numbers in his last and just second start in Green Bay, but Flynn is simply not complimented by the offensive weapons necessary to launch an impressive passing attack. In a league where a lot of teams pay good money and spend high draft picks (see Bengals and Cowboys this draft) on even second Tight Ends, the Raiders will most likely make do with a pair of sixth round draft picks and a completely unproven recently converted Wide Receiver, David Ausberry. To most of our opponents and the national media, the Raiders might as well not have any Tight Ends. Maybe we're planning to go against the grain and seldom integrate a TE into our passing game - I can't see any way around it because the Raiders have a total dearth of talent at that position. Where our secondary was a massive liability last season, our Tight End position will be a massive liability this season, much to Flynn's detriment.
So take the position you want. "This team needs to win 10 games!" or "Eh, 4 is fine as long as we all have fun." Those who claim that the Raiders have an easy schedule forget that their schedule could look a hell of a lot harder halfway through the season after you see how teams have remade themselves in the offseason. I will, personally, set my sights on slight, incremental improvement over last season and consider 6 or 7 wins about right. Next season, all bets are off!

Maybe Colin Campbell figured he could make up for letting Matt Cooke off the hook last week by sticking it to Alex Ovechkin.
Maybe the league's judge and jury thought he was could send a message about recklessness by using a superstar who often displays that tendency to set an example.
Or maybe Campbell just hoped he could restore some of the league's credibility when it comes to discipline by suspending Ovechkin for two games after he ruined Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Brian Campbell's season by shoving him from behind into the boards.
Then again, maybe Colin Campbell should have known better because in the end, he accomplished none of the above. Missing a couple of games may cost Ovechkin another goal scoring title, but ultimately it will be meaningless to a player who will be that much fresher come playoff time because of it. And it will have no impact on his Washington Capitals who have already clinched their Southeast Division and are still the odds-on favorite to finish first overall in the league.
If league's head of hockey operations really wanted to get the attention of those around the league who tend not to think before they act, he would have thrown the book at Ovechkin by handing down more than a token suspension. He could have easily justified it because the Washington star forward was ejected from the game for needlessly sending the Blackhawks defenseman into the boards in a nationally televised game Sunday, the third time this season he has been sent to an early shower.
That makes him a repeat offender, which is the way Campbell described Ovechkin in the official announcement of his punishment. Technically though, the Capitals captain escaped an automatic suspended for a second boarding major because it has been more than 41 games since the last one.
Ovechkin wasn't made to sit for sending Buffalo's Patrick Kaleta head first into the boards in late November, but he got two games for kneeing Carolina's Tim Gleason a week later. And Ovechkin has a history of cheap shots that include a knee-on-knee against Pittsburgh's Sergei Gonchar in last spring's playoffs and a slew foot this season on Atlanta's Rich Peverley. He can be, and often is a dangerous player.
But so are a lot of players like Cooke or Tampa Bay's Steve Downie, who could have caused some serious damage to Sidney Crosby's by wrapping his leg around the Penguins superstar as he was taking him down Sunday.
Ovechkin's latest incident, however, was border line at best. Chicago's Campbell had already gotten rid of the puck and might have been off balance as was turning when Ovechkin shoved – not crosschecked -- and sent him into the boards. And chances are if Campbell had not broken his clavicle and some ribs, the boarding major and game misconduct to Ovechkin would have been the end of it.
But that wouldn't have satisfied those around the league who want blood. And neither does the two games, although there are just as many who think that a suspension wasn't really merited in this case. Particularly since Pittsburgh's Cooke got away with putting the career of Boston's Marc Savard in jeopardy with an ugly, blind side hit to the head.
The irony is that Campbell made the decision not to punish Cooke immediately after the conclusion of the league's general managers meeting last week, when they voted to recommend for stiff penalties for precisely those kinds of hits. In that case, Campbell was applying the letter of the law that said Cooke's hit was legal under current rules.
That decision didn't satisfy anyone. Neither will this one. And it won't make a difference either.

There are two ways to serve this colorful steak-and-veggie salad: simply pile it on a bed of lettuce and dig in, or turn it into sandwiches by stuffing it into pita bread halves.
Heat the grill at the medium-high setting. Sprinkle the steak with salt and pepper to taste. Grill the meat (about 7 to 9 minutes per side on a gas grill for medium rare, longer if you prefer medium or well done). Let the steak cool, then cut it in half lengthwise and slice each half across the grain into thin strips.
Meanwhile, brush the yellow squash and zucchini with 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice and season it with salt and pepper. Grill the sliced vegetables, turning them once, until tender (about 2 to 3 minutes). Then cut them into thirds.
In a food processor, combine the parsley, basil, garlic, Dijon, and remaining tablespoon of lemon juice and blend well. With the motor running, slowly add the oil and blend well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large bowl, combine the steak, squash, zucchini, and onion, if desired. Add the dressing and toss to mix. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper, if desired. Stir in the tomatoes and serve. Makes 6 servings.

Zac Goldsmith criticises plastic bag scheme as over-complicated
6:09pm Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News By Amy Dyduch
Plans to charge 5p for carrier bags to cut waste, litter and carbon emissions must be kept simple for the scheme to work, the Environmental Audit Committee has warned.
Ministers have been criticised for making the charge unnecessarily complicated by excluding small retailers and paper and biodegradable bag.
MP for Richmond Park Zac Goldsmith, who sits on the committee, has long campaigned for a charge on plastic bags.
Mr Goldsmith said: "Bags litter our streets and cause great harm to wildlife; they are the most obvious symbol of our throwaway culture.
"However the proposed policy is far more complicated than it needs to be, and could even end up harming the recycling industry."

|What You Post Could Let The Guy Walk
|Written by Mark Nichols
The Internet is both a blessing and a minefield for law enforcement professionals. The advantages are mostly in areas like recruitment, and in solving local crimes committed by individuals stupid enough to broadcast the very evidence that will eventually be used against them on sites like Myspace and Facebook. The minefield part for law enforcement occurs when officers get so anxious to share photos or video of a big drug bust that they forget the fact that posting such content will make it impossible to get a conviction. In Lee County, North Carolina, charges have been dropped in the biggest drug bust in the county's history after video of the crime scene appeared on the Internet.
The now useless drug bust (in terms of convictions) was part of a joint investigation by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation. Authorities say marijuana was tracked from Mexico to Lee County, where officials said they caught Auturo Elizalde, 27, and Thomas Ayala, 32, with 1,900 pounds of the drug. An officer with the Sanford Police Department videotaped the bust, and somehow his video turned up on YouTube.
The video has been removed from the site, and the officer is no longer with the department. Investigators, prosecutors and defense attorneys claimed they didn't even know the video existed. "It's my understanding that there were two Sanford police officers who came to the scene and did record part of the crime scene,' Lee County Sheriff Tracy Carter told local reporters. Carter said he does not know what the officers were doing there. Federal and state agents were on the scene and according to the Sheriff, local police were never even called. "I'm upset that this happened," Carter added. Elizalde and Ayala were arrested during the bust, but after the defense argued that the video should have been submitted into evidence, all charges but one were dismissed against the two suspects. Both men were sentenced to probation and immediately released based on time already served.subscribe

I made this little blue jacket based on the Jorinde pattern, but had a fair few problems along the way, mainly because of the pattern and lack of sensible instructions.
I have put together a tutorial (which I could have done with when I made this), let me know if you need a hand with anything.

Great jacket, love the flowery lining! And Thank you for adding a tutorial! I've been wanting to make this forever, but never understood the instructions! I might give it a go now :)
Nov 30, 2013, 11.47 PMby surfjewels
Hope it helps. To be honest I decided to make it before I properly looked at the instructions, so just thought I'd just go for it, but had to do a lot of research as the instructions were so confusing.

Missing mom Brenda Heist breaks silence to Dr. Phil on WFMZ-TV
Published: May 20 2013 08:00:00 PM EDT Updated On: May 21 2013 09:27:39 PM EDT
A Lancaster County woman who disappeared more than ten years ago opened up for the first time to Dr. Phil on WFMZ-TV.
Brenda Heist went missing in 2002 after dropping off her children at school in Lititz. She was presumed dead until she reappeared last month.
It turns out, Heist was living in Florida the whole time. She is now being held in jail on outstanding warrants.
When Dr. Phil asked if she ever missed her family, Heist admitted that she thought about her children every day, but knew they would be better off with her husband.

Pancreas Cancer Diet is the special type of diet which helps the pancreatic cancer sufferer to maintain the body strength and wait while fighting the disease. The pancreatic cancer as the name suggests affects the pancreas. The pancreas helps to control the blood sugar and aids in digestion. When the pancreas is affected by cancer then it losses its ability to digest foods. Under such circumstances the sufferers are administered on special diet to maintain nutritional supply. Person suffering from pancreatic cancer often complains about the nausea, constipation, diarrhea, decreased appetite, etc.
A diet capable of supplying vital pancreatic enzymes is often recommended to the people suffering from pancreatic cancer.
Pancreas Cancer Diet: Foods to Eat
Following food groups will be helpful in fighting the onslaught of pancreatic cancer.
- Vitamin D: Some studies suggest that the foods rich in Vitamin D aids in curtailing the growth of cancerous cells. Milk, shrimp, eggs, cod, Chinook salmon are excellent sources of vitamin D.
- Cruciferous Vegetables: Vegetables belonging to the family of cabbage are known for their anti cancerous properties. Vegetables like turnip greens, cabbage, Brussels sprout, and cauliflower can be made part of the Pancreas Cancer Diet.
- Tea: Tea is loaded with lots of flavanoids and one particular flavonoid known as kaempferol is known to inhibit the cancerous cells in the body. Hot tea or cold tea can be consumed atleast thrice daily to leach out the cancerous cells.
- Ginger: The spices in ginger family can aid in large way for fighting against the cancerous cells in the body and also they aid in curbing the nausea associated with pancreatic cancer. Eating gingerbread, sipping ginger ale, or including them in sauces, marinades and soups are the brilliant way of including ginger into the diet.
- Curcumin: Curcumin is the main ingredient of curry powder. This spice possesses anti-inflammatory properties which aid in fighting against cancerous cells. It can be added into the diet by sprinkling it over many dishes.
Pancreas Cancer Diet: Foods to Avoid
Avoiding the following foods will help in curbing the severity of the disease
- Bran foods and toast: They are normally rough to tongue and pancreatic cancer sufferers often find it difficult to swallow the foods rich in bran.
- Fatty foods: They are often difficult to digest and create digestive discomfort so it is always recommended to avoid them for long time.
- High fiber foods and dairy foods: They can again induce the stomach discomfort, so it is recommended to stay away from them for long time.
- Coconut, dried fruits and nuts: Swelling of intestine is one of the common conditions experienced by most of the pancreatic cancer patients so they are recommended to stay away from hard foods like dried fruits, nuts and coconut.

Dayrit, Conrado S. (+)
M.D. Pharmocology, Cardiology
Academician Conrado S. Dayrit, a prominent personality in the field of pharmacology, cardiology and internal medicine has been regarded as the prime advocate of coconut oil. He was the president of the National Academy of Science and Technology from 1992-1999, and has been the president of the NAST Foundation since 1993. He also became the president of the Federation of Asian Scientific Academies and Societies from 1996-1998.
Acd. Dayrit's significant contributions in the field of medical research have made him one of the most sought-after speakers in various fora. He has distinguished himself in important researchers in cardiology, pharmaceutical and health problems. He has likewise distinguished himself by establishing the first research laboratory in an all Filipino drug firm- the United Laboratories, where he retired as vice president at the age of 80.
Perhaps considered as one of his greatest contributions is his investigations into the medicinal and health value of the coconut oil, and eventually his defense which challenged the international medical community, including the World Health Organization, that coconut oil causes heart disease.
Acd. Conrado Dayrit has also given the country a prestigious slot in world history. Aside from his being recognized in the Who's Who in Science (1968) and Who's Who in the World (1969) and the various honors and recognitions he had received, his most recent awards were: the Lux-in-Domino Award given by the Ateneo de Manila University last 25 July 2006 and the 2006 Gintong Aklat Award Natural Science Category (August 28, 2006) and the 25th National Book Award, Medicine and Health Category (August 29, 2006) for his book "The Truth About Coconut Oil: The Drugstore in a Bottle."

Despite needing a victory on Thursday night to keep alive its hopes of advancing
to the Europa League round-of-32, Hapoel Tel Aviv coach Yossi Abuksis has
already turned his focus to Sunday's derby against Maccabi.
remained bottom of Group B with just a single point from three matches after
losing 2-1 to Viktoria Plzen two weeks ago and it will effectively lose any
realistic chance of progressing to the next round should it fail to beat the
Czechs on the road on Thursday.
However, it seems that coach Abuksis has
already given up all hope of advancing, saying that he will rotate his lineup on
Thursday to keep players fresh for the derby.
"This match is important,
but the derby is even more important," said Abuksis, whose team currently trails
Premier League leader Maccabi by six points after losing its last two local
"We would have rather had this time to prepare for the derby,
but we have another match to come through and we will freshen up the team and
rest players for Sunday."
Ironi Kiryat Shmona finds itself in an
identical situation to Hapoel in Group I, but at least the Israeli champion will
be facing Sparta Prague at home on Thursday.
Nevertheless, like Abuksis,
Kiryat Shmona coach Barak Bachar does not believe his team has any real chance
of qualifying for the knockout stages and is mainly hoping to use the Europa
League as a platform to build confidence for the Premier League.
Shmona broke a nine-match winless streak in all competitions with a 1-0 win
against Hapoel Acre on Saturday and Bachar believes his team can avenge its 3-1
loss in Prague two weeks ago and claim its first-ever victory in the group stage
on Thursday.
"Clearly the win over Acre gave us a lot of confidence,"
Bachar said. "We are now hoping to gather momentum with another win."

I am a big Maryland Terp fan, but I think this site is great and visit it almost daily. Anyways, I watched 66% of the FSU v. ULM (including the entire first half, and lots of the second half, though I was flipping between the FSU game and Clemson v. Troy and USC v. Minnesota for the second half).
Overall I was impressed. EJ Manual's size and arm impressed me. I am pretty convinced he has the physical tools to be pretty good. Mentally I think he did well against ULM's unorthodox 3-3-5, but ULM was not really able to generate enough consistent pressure where I can say for sure that he is capable of playing the game at a very fast pace like Christian Ponder could, but he wasn't given the opportunity and he made the most of his opp's yesterday. I thought the WR's made some good catches. The smaller, fast WR (Kent???) dropped one, but that was the only drop I saw and I saw at least two fairly tough catches. FSU's running game was a little out of sync. I was impressed by the freshman running back, he reminds me of Rodney Stewart ( http://rivals.yahoo.com/colorado/football/recruiting/player-Rodney-Stewart-69565 ) at Colorado who had 1300 rushing yards and 30 catches for them last season--- fairly small, but good leg drive and the ability to get small makes them more or less good between the tackle runners.
I thought the defense played well. It wasn't ULM day as they were a little out of sync. Actually the defense was dominant yesterday. Not being a FSU fan, I'll acknowledge the defense was dominant, but I am not going to draw any conclusions. I played a number of sports through HS and followed college and professional sports since then and its frustrating when you cannot execute. You get in a bit of a funk and that is what ULM had yesterday. FSU's defense clearly overmatched ULM. ULM looked frustrated on offense, hesistant to dink and dunk which was they needed to do to get first downs and they just never got into a rhythm. My take was that FSU has a very athletic and talented defense. That pretty much is my only take away so far. I'd like to see them against either an equal talented offense or alternative just an offense clicking to see how they do.
FSU confirmed to me yesterday that they should be considered one of the favorites to win the ACC (especially with BC, Clemson, and Wake struggling), they look like heavy favorites to win the Atlantic. Whether they are a top 5 team nationally, I could not tell though because due to the competition you could only tell so much.

The idea of TheUConnBlogcast has existed almost as long as TheUConnBlog itself, but, despite our best efforts, Kevin, Justin and myself were always stymied by two nearly insurmountable obstacles: laziness and inertia.
Still, just before the South Florida game I promised that we'd have a podcast before UConn played in a BCS bowl. Sure, I'd promised that and failed to deliver five times before, but I'm not the type to break a half-dozen promises. Plus, we figured that if Randy Edsall can somehow will his boys into the BCS, the least we can do talk about it for half an hour.
Your three topics for today: UConn and the BCS, men's basketball after the Pittsburgh loss and the women's winning steak, which might be ending in a few short hours.
So here it is, recorded live-to-tape for you, so get ready for some hard-hitting Husky talk and impressive amounts of odd phrasing, stammering and awkward pauses. We do it out of love. Enjoy.

No Criminal Case Is Likely in Loss at MF Global
After 10 months of stitching together evidence on the firm's demise, criminal investigators are concluding that chaos and porous risk controls at the firm, rather than fraud, allowed the money to disappear, according to people involved in the case ...
In the most telling indication yet that the MF Global investigation is winding down, federal authorities are seeking to interview the former chief of the firm, Jon S. Corzine, next month, according to the people involved in the case. Authorities hope that Mr. Corzine, who is expected to accept the invitation, will shed light on the actions of other employees at MF Global.
Those developments indicate that federal prosecutors do not expect to file criminal charges against the former New Jersey governor. Mr. Corzine has not yet received assurances that he is free from scrutiny, but two rounds of interviews with former employees and a review of thousands of documents have left prosecutors without a case against him, say the people involved in the investigation who spoke on the condition of anonymity
And, it gets worse!
I mean, even this wouldn't be served in the Irony Cafe;
Mr. Corzine, in a bid to rebuild his image and engage his passion for trading, is weighing whether to start a hedge fund, according to people with knowledge of his plans. He is currently trading with his family's wealth.
A New Mexico town once changed their name to "Truth or Consequences" ", to gain fame.
If a show came along named "No Consequences", Wall Street, and only Wall Street, with its' larcenous infamy, would have to lay claim to it.
File this one under "Laughing all the way - running away from the bank" ...

Abe Lincoln Role Stirs Studios To Flood Market With New Vampire Pics
Despite the less-than-stellar opening box office, and disastrous reviews, of the new film,'Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter', major Hollywood studios are red-lining, and rushing into production, a wave of new vampire projects, a source tells The Garlic.
"They can't get them out fast enough,' said the movie industry insider, adding that "my clients are badgering to get me to land them something."
The plan calls for issuing new projects with original stories, many of them with A-List actors, for serial stories that will offer multiple sequels and franchises.
Also, for the studios with deep archives, some classic films will be reworked, with CGI, and other state-of-the-art techniques, integrating in new stars, and turning movie legends into vampire fighters.
Scheduled for release by the Christmas rush include;
The Vampire World of Suzie Wong
William Holden's Robert Lomax doesn't move into the Nam Kok Hotel just to become a painter.
He teams up with Nancy Kwan's Suzie Wong, and the other prostitutes, to do battle with the Vampires of Hong Kong, offering pulsating martial arts action on the teeming streets.
Look for Steve Buscemi in a cameo role as a kung fu rickshaw driver
Rain Man, Vampire Slayer
Raymond Babbitt may be autistic, but when he and brother Charlie hit Las Vegas, it's not for blackjack, and Raymond shows the vampires who's on first.
The pair does battle with the towns Vampires, tearing up and down the strip, rampaging through casinos, with the climatic fight coming on top of the Luxor Hotel's pyramid.
Steve Buscemi has a role here, as a Craps Table dealer who rolls snake eyes for the vampires
A Vampire Affair To Remember
Cary Grant's Nickie Ferrante and Deborah Kerr's Terry McKay take on the Vampires, both on land and at sea.
With the ship anchored on the scenic Mediterranean coast, Ferrante and McKay clean the ocean liner of the stowaway vampires.
Back in New York, McKay isn't hit by an automobile on the way to meet Ferrante, she's abducted by the Vampires, leading to the final battle, at the top of the Empire State building.
Steve Buscemi pops up here, as the elevator operator who aids the pair.
Other works in the pipeline include 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Vampire', 'Three Vampires in the Fountain' and 'No Country for Old Vampires'.
"This is like found money," gushed the Hollywood insider.
"I mean, we could dress someone up like Bela Lugosi, film him reading the phone book, and laugh all the way to the bank."

Top Ten Cloves: Other Ways Facebook Could Have Screwed Up Their IPO
News Item: EXCLUSIVE: Here's The Inside Story Of What Happened On The Facebook IPO

Let The Heavenly Clouds Tickle Your Bare Feet, Cesaria Evora ...
Well, I'm not doing much better with the illness I am afflicted with, however, I had to come off the DL for this.
I heard news this weekend that, certainly, put a damper in, if any, holiday spirit hovering around.
That being that the wonderful, and talented, Cape Verdean singer, Cesaria Evoria passed away, at the not-terribly-old-age of 70.
Man ...
Listening to her was such a pleasure, for she carried you off into a world, flooded and filled, with the most beautiful sounds, a world you may not know existed, just floating along, listening to her, lost in the beauty, thinking, hoping, it would never end.
I was fortunate to see her perform, twice, back in the mid and late 1990's, and it was awesome.
Coming out of those shows was like having seen something outside your own understanding, something miraculously divine and good, a refreshing of your soul.
From Jon Pareles at the NYT;
Ms. Évora's music was in a style called morna, which is sung in taverns on the Cape Verde islands: slow, pensive ballads with an underlying lilt, suffused with sodade, the Cape Verdean creole term for a nostalgic longing that pervades music across Portugal (where the word is saudade) and its former empire.
Ms. Évora sang about love, sorrow and history, including slavery, in a husky, dignified, unhurried contralto that brought warmth and gravity to songs by Cape Verde's leading poets. She also sang in her country's more upbeat styles, coladeira and funaná, but her serenely sorrowful mornas were her legacy.
She always performed barefoot, a gesture of solidarity with poor women. A concert review in The New York Times described her as "a Yoda of melancholy" onstage.
And Barry Hatton at SF Chronicle-AP
Her singing style brought comparisons to American jazz singer Billie Holiday. "She belongs to the aristocracy of bar singers," French newspaper Le Monde said in 1991, adding that Ms. Evora had "a voice to melt the soul."
Ms. Evora's international fame came late in life. Her 1988 album "La Diva Aux Pieds Nus" ("Barefoot Diva"), recorded in France where she first found popularity, launched her international career.
Her 1995 album "Cesaria" was released in more than a dozen countries and brought her first Grammy nomination, leading to a tour of major concert halls around the world and album sales in the millions.
She won a 2003 Grammy in the World Music category for her album "Voz D'Amor."
Xeni Jardin, over on Boing Boing, also has a nice tribute to check out.
As does the BBC - Cesaria Evora, the voice that put Cape Verde on the map
So long Cesaria Evora ...
Try not to make the angels cry, with your so, so sweat voice ....

Hey, Madison Ave!, Get A Glove, Get In The Game!
With still being on the DL (see HERE and HERE), and in copious pain, we were on the outlook for some comic relief.
Herman Cain, seemingly, in the wrong race (He, apparently, wants in the "President of the United States of Love" contest), doesn't quite make it.
Nor, the foot-in-mouth of Kansas Governor Sam Brownback, for Brownback's browbeating of a high school teenager (Gotta plug into that "Stick and Stones" thing, there, Sammy).
And, with the recently-completed Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday, today seems to be the unannounced "Justify OccupyWallStreet Day", with the cascading news of;
Super Secret Bank Bailout awarding the crooks and cronies billions
A Federal Judge telling the SEC and Citicorp, of their wrist-slap-with-a-paper-ruler agreement that "Homey don't play that game"
And today, Heistin Hank Paulson playing Mr. Inside Tipster to his former Wall Street pals.
This all plays out as more ironic, than humor.
No, we have to turn to a segment we heard on radio this past weekend.
It was from PRI's 'The World', on the South African fast-food chicken outfit, Nando's.
Seems they have a history of putting out creative, and, at times controversial, advertisements, like the one from about 10-years ago, having a Seeing Eye Dog lead a blind woman into a pole, so the dog could wolf down the Nando's chicken.
From Wikepedia:
Nando's is known in South Africa for its humorous but often controversial adverts. One such television advert from 2000, involved a blind woman being led into a pole intentionally and knocked unconscious by her guide dog, which then proceeded to eat the chicken that the woman had just purchased. This caused an uproar from people who were concerned that the blind would be offended. The South African Advertising Standards Authority called for the withdrawal of the advert. Several blind people were quoted in the media as finding the advert amusingYou can view that ad HERE or HERE
Their latest ad, the one catching some flak (and buzz) is no disappointment;
Nando's: Last dictator standing
Here's a few more;
Nandos Chips
Nandos "Ramadan" advert
Nando's Viral - Did he just eat his dog?
After watching these Nando's ads, it's disappointing how Madison Avenue bombards us with juvenile cellphone, and moronic beer ads.
Wake up guys, get a glove, get in the game ...

Everyday People ... Stand!
Sly and the Family Stone - Everyday People
Totally Outrageous!
Police pepper spraying and arresting students at UC Davis
And sorry, to those Police State Mouthpieces, who are endorsing this, saying it would prevent worse injuries.
I call BULLSHIT!
Look at the above, now look, when the shoe is on the other foot.
UC Davis Chancellor Katehi walks to her car (higher quality)
To you, Officer Pike (the cretin pepper sprayer) and to you Chancellor Linda Katehi, the world IS watching!
So is Will Bunch, over on Attytood
This much is clear: The campus cops 3,000 miles away have offer a blueprint of what not to do. The swelling tide of police violence against peaceful demonstrators comes after 10 years of citizens' passive acquiescence toward the Patriot Act and expanded government snooping, waterboarding terror suspects, and giving urban police departments more high-tech firepower than many Third World nations. Now our security-state-on-steroids is being turned against non-violent protesters here in the "homeland." Talk about blowback!
Take us out, Sly ...
Sly and the Family Stone - Stand!

Matthew took two gold medals with personal best times in the 400m freestyle and the 100m breaststroke. Further personal best times secured two silver medals in the 100m freestyle and 200m individual medley and he also powered his way to silver medal performances in the 100m individual medley and 50m freestyle and bronze in the 100m backstroke.
Matthew also struck gold in the 4 x 100 freestyle, where together with Rafael Baggot, Lyndon Longhorne and Josef Craig a fine performance saw the DSE Nationals relay gold medal coming to the North East for the first time in over ten years.
The City of Sunderland Swimming Club took a small team to the inaugural ASA Zonal Meet held at Ponds Forge, Sheffield. The entry standards were set very high with the North East and North regions combining to form a formidable event.
Top performer was thirteen year old Lucy Walton who produced some excellent performances. Lucy saved her best effort for her last race - the 400m individual medley - where she showed great technique and determination to take the silver medal in 5.09.63 – a time which also qualifies her for the forthcoming British Trials. Lucy backed that up with an excellent 2.27.89 in the 200m backstroke to take overall seventh spot.
Team mate Danielle Huskisson (17) had a very busy weekend competing in the 15 years and older age group, where she recorded an impressive personal best time of 8.53.84 in the 800m freestyle – taking her within touching distance of a British Trials qualifying time for the world championships. Danielle also grabbed a 'half way split' best time with a 4.25.29 at the 400 metres mark. She went on to take part in the 4 x 400m events and despite the heavy race workload she did extremely well to grab sixth spot in both the 400m freestyle with a time of 4.27.78 and the 400m medley with a time of 5.04.76.
Fourteen year old Lucy Ellis enjoyed a great meet in the girls 14 years and under age group to make two finals with a tenth place in the 200m freestyle (2.13.37) and the 400m medley (5.19.11). Lucy's best race came in the tough 800m metres freestyle, where she produced a fantastic 9.16.76 to take fourth spot – qualifying her for the British Trials in March.
Dan Heeley smashed his best time in the men's 50 metres freestyle to snatch the bronze medal in a very swift 24.41. Dan also raced to a 53.89 in the 100m freestyle which placed him seventh overall.
Head Coach Alastair Johnson commented that "the event had proved to be a useful addition to the calendar. The swimmers have done a solid job with more swimmers qualifying for the British Trials. Our next event is the Northumberland and Durham County Championships where we are looking to improve our results from last year".
It was the City of Sunderland men's team had the opportunity to show there female training partners that they to could shine in the gruelling distance events after a gold rush for the females only weeks earlier.
Eleven year old Thomas Burns set the ball rolling for City when he stopped the clock in 19.47.69 to become the Northumberland & Durham County champion.
Making his way back to fitness for the city's male contingent was Matthew Bell (17) who is making some positive steps forward after a major injury in the pre season. Matthew swam his way to a season's best time finishing in 4th place in the Open category. Training partner Dima Isakau (16) finished 7th closely followed by Adam Taylor (14) in 8th place. Finishing just outside the top 10 in 11th place was Alex Pierce Harrison (15) who stopped the clock in what was a new lifetime best performance.
Adam Taylor claimed a silver medal in the Boys 14yrs Age Group Category with training partner James Burns (13) matching Adams effort to bag himself silver also.
The Women had a rare opportunity to race the 1500m as this will be a selection event for the World Championship Team 2011 with trials at the forthcoming British Gas Championships to be held at Manchester Aquatic Centre in early March.
City of Sunderland's sole representative was Alexandra Robinson (16) who powered her way to a silver medal in the Women's Open category, In what was a very gutsy swim Alex stopped the clock narrowly outside the qualifying time for the championship meet come March.
There were many other performances from the city's swimmers who continue to show great improvement which is credit to themselves and their coaches at the programme.
A team of thirty City of Sunderland swimmers represented the club at the Newburn Graded Meet, coming away with an impressive haul of 79 medals together with a number of personal best, county and regional qualifying times.
Leading the way with six gold medals was the fast improving thirteen year old Jack Tallentire, who topped the podium in the 200m butterfly, 100m and 200m backstroke, 100m, 200m and 400m freestyle events. Jack also took a silver medal in the 100m butterfly event.
Also in prolific form was eleven year old Joseph Pomfret who took gold medals in the 400m freestyle, 400m individual medley, 100m freestyle, 50m and 100m butterfly as well as silver in the 50m backstroke.
For the girls, ten year old Beth Nicholson claimed a 'hat trick' with gold medals in the 400m individual medley, 50m and 100m butterfly, while a further golden 'hat trick' was secured by thirteen year old Andrew Markham with wins in the 100m and 400m individual medley and 200m breaststroke as well as bronze in the 100m breaststroke.
Double gold medallists for Sunderland were ten year old Callum Dann in the 100m butterfly, 200m individual medley (as well as silvers in 50m butterfly and freestyle), twelve year old Callum Reveley who struck gold in the 100m individual medley and 100m backstroke (together with silver in the 50m and 100m butterfly and 100m freestyle), twelve year old Ashlyn Liddle who topped the podium in the 200m freestyle and 200m butterfly (adding to her 50m butterfly, 100m and 400m individual medley and 50m butterfly silver medals and a 200m individual medley bronze) and eleven year old Jay Whithead who took the gold medals in the 50m butterfly and 100m individual medley together with a silver in the 200m freestyle event.
Also enjoying golden success for Sunderland was twelve year old Freya Rayner who topped the podium in the 50m butterfly and took silver in the 200m individual medley, with further one – two's coming from eleven year old James Brewerton with a 200m breaststroke gold and 50m freestyle silver and thirteen year old Mark Robinson with gold in the 100m breaststroke and silver in the 200m breaststroke. Ten year old Mathew Walker Smith took gold in the 100m backstroke, silver in the 100m breaststroke and bronze in the 100m butterfly and 200m freestyle events.
