text: This is one of my favorites. So many grooves and solid jams. I gave it 4 because the mix is very weak. Sean's bass is inaudable, and the fidelity of J's guitar could have been stronger. However, these song's take you to a strange place and time and flow in and out of each other seamlessly via samples and sound effects. I miss these guys. This album makes your modern shock rockers look like total posers. If you dig Sabbath, older Metallica and Alice in Chains, you'll get alot out of this one.

Is Tahitian Noni® International's
Tahitian Noni®
Juice really superior? That is the
question people ask who have not yet experienced the miracle of
Tahitian Noni®
Juice! We think it is really important for you
to know that you are getting the very best quality noni product on
the market, so we have provided you with everything you need to know
to cut through all the hype and misleading information
to make an educated decision!
Before Tahitian Noni® International
launched Tahitian Noni®
Juice, they spent 3 years and
millions of dollars in research and development to ensure
that Tahitian Noni®
Juice would be the very best noni
product available anywhere in the world - ever! And
even with all the imitations flooding the market, that is
still true today!
Since Tahitian Noni® International
first launched Tahitian Noni®
Juice in July of 1996 and quickly
went from $40,000 in their first month of business
to almost $40 million a month - over $1 million a
day! In only 5 years, Tahitian Noni®
International set an astonishing record of $1
Billion in sales! As of 2011,
Tahitian Noni Brand Products have generated an
astonishing $4.5 BILLION in sales worldwide!
"Using the 2003 lists
of public companies as reported in the Fortune 500, the
Global Fortune 1000, and the Forbes 500, and after adjusting
for inflation, as far a we can determine, Tahitian Noni
International would have been the fourth fastest-growing
company in modern history."* ~Griffin Hill Consulting
[*Behind Google, Intel and Federal Express!]
How can you
compete with that kind of success? Is it any wonder
that other noni companies are trying to copy the original,
authentic Tahitian Noni®
while Tahitian Noni® International is all for fair competition, they take
exception to the unethical and misleading tactics being used to compete in the
marketplace. You have to wonder about a company that:
Tahitian Noni® International's Unique Story as their Own - Their Origin,
Their Research, Their Testimonials!
Tahitian Noni® International's Original Bottle/Label Design to Confuse Consumers
Forcing Tahitian Noni® International to Redesign and Trademark the New Bottle to
Protect Consumers!
a Play-on-Words when Naming their Product to Confuse
Consumers into Thinking they are Getting Authentic
Tahitian Noni®
Advertises their
Product as "Tahitian Noni Juice" and as the "Original"
Tahitian Noni® International's Literature - Sometimes Word-for-Word!
Endorsement and Cites Research Conducted by Tahitian Noni® International's
Own Scientists and Company Founders, John Wadsworth and
Stephen Story!
and Claims Endorsements from Dr. Scott
Gerson, Dr. Mona Harrison, and Other Leading Health Care
Professionals who Only Endorse Tahitian Noni®
Endorsements and Cites Research Conducted by the
Foremost Authority on Morinda citrifolia, Dr. Ralph
Heinicke, who Works Closely with Tahitian Noni® International and Only
Endorses Tahitian Noni®
have to wonder... If they have their own story, why
ours? If they have their own research, why reference ours?
If they have their own scientists and health care
professionals, why quote ours? If they have their own
testimonials, why tell ours?
Some independent
researchers and health care professionals who have conducted
clinical studies and research only on Tahitian Noni®
Juice have been forced to take legal action to protect
their names from being deceptively used in connection with
other noni products!
So if
noni products are really all the same, then why would
these independent researchers and healthcare professionals go to the extraordinary time and
expense to prevent others from using their names in connection with
their products?!
if Tahitian Noni®
Juice really isn't the best noni product on the market,
then why is everyone trying to compare themselves to
Tahitian Noni®
prevent consumer confusion with so many look-a-like
noni products, Tahitian Noni® International designed a unique new
trademarked bottle that was launched January 1,
2001. This new bottle design clearly
distinguishes the original authentic
Tahitian Noni®
Juice from all other noni products on the
And it looks great too!
So be sure to always
look for the trademarked green glass bottle with the gold seal and
the words "Tahitian Noni®
Juice" engraved in the glass, to ensure you are getting the
original, authentic Tahitian Noni®
Juice from Tahitian Noni® International! And only purchase
Tahitian Noni®
Juice from an authorized Tahitian Noni® International representative!
time passes, consumers are becoming educated and are no
longer being fooled into believing that all noni products
are the same. They are finding that "You get what you pay
for" as the saying goes! So are you really saving
money by buying a cheaper product that doesn't work?
The most convincing evidence comes from consumers
themselves. Every minute, 20 bottles of Tahitian Noni®
Juice are sold worldwide!
Some consumers
who have purchased other noni products have reported subtle
benefits, but few reported miraculous results.
If a consumer
uses a noni product with at least some noni ingredients in
it that have remained active through processing, no doubt
they will experience some type of benefits.
But, just imagine what they
would have experienced if they had purchased authentic Tahitian Noni®
Many consumers
who have tried other noni products tend to think they are
all the same. However, that is simply not true.
Unless you try authentic Tahitian Noni®
Juice, you did not
try noni!
other evidence is that most consumers who have
decided to try another noni product to save money, come back for authentic Tahitian Noni®
It does
not take long to realize that cheaper is no bargain if it
doesn't work! And you have
to wonder... Would a consumer really pay more for a product
that worked as well as a cheaper one? Would you?
you, I want the very best products available and
the best value! But, I have also learned
that "You get what you pay for!".
Once you
experience the Tahitian Noni®
Juice difference, nothing else
can compare!
evidence is clear - and it is overwhelming! Millions of
people around the world are convinced that Tahitian Noni®
Juice is the very best noni product in the world! How
about you?

Halloween is over, but those who purchased costume contact lenses, a real danger could still be lurking.The scary eyes are popular but without a prescription they can lead to serious eye infections and even blindness.An optometrist is warning of the dangers of black market contacts which have become popular year-round.They may look cool, and maybe even a little creepy. But whether you got them for Halloween or for a new look, costume contact lenses without a prescription can be dangerous for your eyes."There's all kinds of problems out there related to them," said Dr. J. Ellis Cosby.Cosby says he's seen patients suffering from serious eye infections as a result of wearing the illegally sold contacts."You could get a central corneal ulcer and that could be very devastating to your long term vision," said Cosby.Why are they so dangerous? It's as simple as the shape of your eye. If the contact doesn't fit, it can lead to irreversible damage."If they are too tight they could cause significant problems. Plus, you need to be taught how to insert them, clean them, and store them," said Cosby.In 2005 the FDA banned the sale of cosmetic lenses without a prescription, but there is a black market for them year-round."I've seen them in flea markets, curb stores where they are out on display and you can buy them and that's just not safe," said Cosby.He says parents need to be on alert."[It's] just the colored lenses, the blue lenses or the green lenses, you don't need to buy them from anyone but an eye care professional. Selling them is illegal. It's illegal," reminds Cosby.

For anyone trying to crack the 3 in any marathon anywhere in the world
LS21 - fantastic race, well deserved after all you've gone through.
Dan A - probably sensible to drop out, but doesn't that mean eternal ribbing from your brother for "beating" you?
Very disappointed not to have seen any 50k reports yet. Come on guys! It's almost as though they're enjoying a few days in Italy afterwards rather than getting on t'internet immediately afterwards.
By the way, I wrote a new post on my blog about my training for the last few weeks and next couple of months. Would be interested to know if you knowledgable people think I can run a half-decent 45M race in January with this approach. It's only a B race so can always walk the last 10M or so if needed (or drop out).
Great results for M&M in the 50k, that's seriously impressive.
LS21 - well done at Abo, you deserved a good day out.
Wardi - nice run at the parkrun, that's a good improvement and to think it's only a few months since you were having a wobble, must be good to be back. Good 5k for BKins too.
Andy D - good news about your shin and this week shouldn't stress it so you should be good to go.
Better, although mixed, week for me last week, seemed to have a weird bug in the middle which I felt fine with but just couldn't run. Ended up doing a nightmare 10M which turned into 8M but I had to stop and rest every mile and I was only going about 8mm pace. The next day I tried a 4M easy run which I bailed on after a mile and jogged back home. From Friday morning I did 4M, 10M, 10M, 16M and felt good on all of those runs and ended up over 60M for the week and my calf/shin is fine so I'm hoping I'm off the bench now.
Marigold - great report. Massively impressed with mile 31, picking up the pace at that point. I also read the official report - love the fact that it says you "sprinted" to catch up the Zimbabwean, when you compare that to the description in your report!
Nice blog, Padams.
That's a real bounceback recovery, LJ. Glad to hear the calf/shin is improving, but don't be tempted to do too much too soon post-recovery!
Padams, thats a good read. But it made me tired (and it doesn't take a lot) Zzzzzzzzz
10miles with 4miles at 75%. As much as the legs allowed for now.....
Some true fred heroics over the weekend. I'm absolutely stunned by the World Class performances from Marigold and Marders. Feel like I should be collecting autographs or something. Top bombing guys!
LS21 - congrats again for yesterday. Really chuffed for you.
Padams - I don't feel best qualified to advise on silly-mileage races, but don't those ultra folk like doing back-to-back weekend long runs, to get used to running long on tired legs without doing it all in one go?
I seem to have spent most of the weekend either drinking or racing. So that's a bloody good weekend really! We managed to win our first match in Surrey XC League Div 1 against the likes of Herne Hill and Thames Hare & Hounds, and I managed to just squeeze into a strong scoring 10 with what was admittedly something more than a hard tempo effort, with the following day's Cabbage Patch 10 on my mind. Legs were pretty stiff yesterday morning then, but actually felt reasonably comfortable running at pace with a decent little group and clocked 56:01 for 21st place and 3rd V40. (Some bloody impressive oldies out yesterday - 55:10 for 1st V50; 56:49 for 1st V60!!)
Best of all, I think I'm back to 100% health, since heart rate was behaving itself yesterday (average 175 / 86% max) and apart from XC-weary legs I basically felt good. Time to ramp up to some last-minute training volume for the Ballbuster...
PP - good point about the back-to-back long runs. I would quite like to do that, but I want to keep the weekend long ride (and I'm hoping that would achieve something similar). I'm hoping to do a run of at least 30M in the next month or so - just going to do it really slow, with a rucksack for water, food etc.
Now you mention it, I will try to find a weekend where I can do say 20M both days though. All the Bank Holidays in December are usually helpful, but that might be a bit close to the race (3 weeks out).
Nice weekend of racing and drinking! 55:10 for a V50 is ridiculous. Quite pleased I'm not doing the Ballbuster now as I suspect I'd spend the whole morning trying to keep up with you.
*shudders remembering the horrors of doing back-to-back 20M training runs*
LS21 - as per FB, delighted for you. Didn't realise it was a negative split too! Obviously you didn't try hard enough in the first half
Sorry to hear about the DNF Dan, but sounds like the right decision. Congrats to the bro.
Nicely done on the CP10 PP. Especially as part of a weekend double. Glad you're recovered too.
Padams - why not find a marathon and tag a few miles on either end as an overdistance run? There seem to be a few around over the next few months. You could always back up your long run with a 10m+ double the next day as well.I've got a question for you actually - the Fred Hughes 10; what's the course and field quality usually like? Between my wife's exams (ACCA - last one all being well!!!), my son's birthday, and various other things, the races I was looking at between now and then are out of the window and that's the only one left on my list of potentials before Wokingham.....
A very easy, but undulating, 14m this afternoon (longest since Berlin actually), followed up with a few sets of squat jumps. I'm hoping to get my finger out and run a few hard hill reps tomorrow morning.
LS21 - well played, I'm pleased for you. Thats one of your quicker ones too.
PP - nice 10M, is that a PB ?
Padams - if you want to keep the long ride then you'll be needing something like a longish run Friday evening and then a long run Saturday morning, or a midweek 10 and 10 double.
I'm defo not doing Ballbuster, I struggled to do 12M y'day and it appears that I have only (just) made it over 100M once in the last 5 months so I have nowhere near enough miles in to be taking that on.
Nice report Marigold (& pics) & congrats on the win again. Bet those Peronis didn't touch the sides!
LS21.. over the moon for you young fella, bet Mum & Dad were dead proud. Hope to see you at a Yorkshire race soon.
Andy D & LJ.. good news on both your pesky shin problems, hope you can stay off the bench.
DanA.. sorry you had to pull out but sounds a wise decision.
PP.. very impressive double at the weekend. Pleased to see that you are back in good health.
5.4m run around York's business parks tonight. A local road closure meant the traffic was awful at rush hour. By the time I had finished everything had calmed down so a leisurely drive home was had.
Congrats to LS21, sounds like it was an emotional day.
Off to read Marigold's report. I hope it doesn't take 3 hours to read!
Marigold - brilliant win, all that seafront running must have done you good.
Off to make a puddle.
ZaTTu - yes, I could do a marathon as a training run. My clubmates do a long run every Saturday anyway, so it's quite easy to get up to a good distance e.g. 5M before, 17M with them, 5M after.
Fred Hughes is a good race - nice country lanes, all on tarmac. It's a bit undulating - largest hill is about half a mile at maybe 5% - but not too bad. I would guess it's about 1-2 minutes slower than a perfect course. The field won't be particularly great i.e. you would definitely be in the top 3, although often at least one fast guy shows up which would give you some competition.
TR - Good idea. I'm already doing a longish run on Thursday evening (12M+) so maybe running on Friday morning before work (or on Thursday morning) for 10M or so would give me a good double.
Swapped swimming for an easy run last night, partly because the Mrs was making a nice dinner and I wanted to eat with her rather than a reheated version when I got home from swimming at 9:15pm. Put on the rucksack I'll be wearing in the ultra to see if it made any difference to pace - didn't seem to have much effect (maybe 10s/mile), and it is really comfortable.
Well done to LS21 and PP, great running.
My other half is building up to the MDS in spring, and big doubles will be a fairly big feature in her training. Shes done quite a few ultras and in her previous races has found the big doubles really beneficial, running on battered legs and all!
Would normally do reps today but going for 8 miles with a section at tempo pace later as have a 5K on Friday.
PP, Sounds like an idyllic weekend. Great 10miler on tired legs. What were you drinking? I had an Old Speckled Hen and tried a Stella Cidre on Sat night. Speckled Hen was lovely, the cidre was a little sweet/bland.
Padams, what Zattu said. Feels/sounds "easier?" using a marathon as part of your long run. But I know nothing about ultras. Did once contemplate the 24hour track thing. But my mates didn't want to know, thankfully! The very best of luck with the training (and the ultra).
Marigold, Loved the read. Can only day dream about the pain and the mental toughness to get you thru that. Sounds a real tough way of getting a sun tan! Many, many congrats.
Padams - or what about a friday double and then a Saturday long run with your group and then the 3hr bike on Sunday ? I did this a few times before VLM this year and made the 2nd Friday run 9 or 10M.
My pre-marathon weekends are all about long bike ride one day and long run the next (with the odd XC or road race thrown in to disrupt the pattern.) I've just found out that the velodrome will be open all year round now, which is nice.
Marigold - Hats off to you again, great report. I take it Peroni isn't on the banned substance list then?
TR - Sunday was a 4-minute PB! Says more about my utterly pants previous PB than anything, but I always like a PB!
Brian - I like a bit of Old Speckled Hen, although I'm sure it's got a bit weaker in recent years. Anyway, starting Friday evening and up to Sunday afternoon... 1x Brooklyn East India Pale Ale, 1x St Stefanus Blonde, 1x La Chouffe, 3x Maredsous 8, 3x Fuller's ESB, 1x Adnams Southwold, 1x Fuller's London Pride and 1x Red-somethingorother. No red wine though - everything in moderation! Think I'll dry out till next weekend.
Oh, anyone doing the Chichester Priory 10k in Feb? I've just signed up. Now there's a quality field!

Photo exhibition opened at EC headquarters – 'Romania, People and Places'
The exhibition titled 'Romania, People and Places,' which includes photographs taken by the Romanian photographers Sorin Onisor and Bogdan Comanescu, opened on Monday evening at the headquarters of the European Commission in Brussels, European Commissioner for Agriculture Dacian Ciolos, Romania's Ambassador to Belgium Stefan Tinca, managers of the Romanian Cultural Institute in Brussels as well as numerous participants attending, Agerpres informs. In the 40 pictures displayed at the above-mentioned exhibition the two Romanian artists make the public see the extraordinary expressiveness of common people, the genuineness of rural life and fascinating stories of people living in some isolated or archaic places in Romania. The two photographers thus wanted to shock people, to make them sensitive to and aware of their own values, of the gratitude to be alive and the enthusiasm to experience life in a different way. 'This is an exhibition included in the events I have been trying to promote since I have been in Brussels, it should at least allow people working on the European Commission, but also the ones crossing the lobby of the European Commission day by day to see Romania differently from what they see on the TV or from what they read in newspapers or the tourist guides they consult,' said European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural development Dacian Ciolos, the host of the event mentioned before. According to him, the exhibition is art taken directly from the daily reality, from what we can still experience in rural areas of Romania today. 'And besides the sense of artistry, very much humaneness is to be seen in these photographs, both the humaneness of people featured in photographs, but especially of the ones that took them and, besides landscapes, tried to direct attention to the man, who changes the Romanian rural environment into a dynamic and specific environment,' said Ciolos. Bogdan Comanescu said that he wanted to show people visiting the exhibition his pride in Romania, his enthusiasm for Romanian traditions. Sorin Onisor was designated photographer of the year in 2010 by the Association of Romanian Art Photographers and was named the photographer of the Romanian village. Bogdan Comanescu started studying photography while living in Germany, but came back to Romania.

Gameplay reveal of Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Recently, Monolith released the first gameplay of their upcoming title, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor. For those of you who do not know what this game is, I want you to imagine taking the combat of the Arkham series, the fluidity of movement and stealth of Assassin's Creed, and the powers of Force Unleashed. When put together, they make Shadow of Mordor. This idea sounds so great, especially when set in the Lord of The Rings Universe, and now with the release of its first gameplay, we can rest assure knowing that it looks solid as well. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ps7puWAz1E?feature=player_detailpage] Monolith's director of design, Michael De Plater, showed off the game as he talks you through the backstory of Talion, the once Ranger of Gondor who lost everything from family to friends when Sauron and his guard attacked them at the Black Gate. Talion was saved from death by a vengeful wraith who transforms Talion into a half-human and half-wraith. What this hybrid form brings to the gaming realm is something that Monolith has already proven they can do with their Arkham games, highly versatile and mobile combat. The demo shows off the many ways to approach the various situations that the player will encounter throughout their journey in Mordor. It also introduces the nemesis system that is one of the very unique and key features of the game. When Talion encounters Ratbag, one of his nemeses in the game, Ratbag remembers their previous encounter. This moment brings up the thought of how amazing this will be if implemented correctly with all of the important characters in the game. Another amazing feature of the nemesis feature is what you can do once you defeat them. There is the obvious option of straight up executing them, but that will most likely be the option you consider last when you see the others. You can choose terrorize, which will scour the mind of the nemesis and send him wailing back the enemy, telling stories of the horrifying and deadly Talion. The next option is a little more useful without putting your nemesis in too much danger, you can turn them and their followers into spies. This will provide valuable information about the higher up enemies that you will eventually encounter. Finally, there is the option to have them assassinate one of their allies that stands in your way. This will show a percentage chance they have of being successful in the act, but you will be there in case you need to clean up their mess. The assassinate option also shows off how expansive the hierarchy system is in the game and the major role it will play inside of the story for the game. I am excited to see such an in-depth game bring the best elements of many critically-acclaimed games together to make what looks to be a wondrous title. The game is set to release this year, so stayed tuned for more news.

From the FanPosts. -Chris
As much excitement as the Chiefs' draft has caused for many Chiefs fans, myself included; I think it is important to temper that excitement with some reality.
Some of the draft picks will or might start (Berry, Moeaki, Lewis). Others will play large roles (McCluster, Arenas). And others will be project players to be molded for the future (Asamoah, Sheffield). Sheffield will likely play the role of a situational pass rusher this year and will most likely see limited action. He may get a sack or two even but he won't play much of a role for us in 2010 as he was drafted to be a project for future seasons.
If we are to see any improvement in our pass rush then it will have to be from within and that will mostly rest on the shoulders of Andy Studebaker and how much he has improved.
More on this after the jump.
Studebaker will probably see significantly more playing time this year than what he saw last year. He appears to currently be the heir apparent to Vrabel and is Vrabel's understudy. He showed a lot of promise last year in his limited opportunities. He showed good coverage ability and also demonstrated burst and explosiveness coming off the edge.
IMO, Studebaker isn't far off from being ready to assume the full-time starter role. If Studebaker has taken the next leap and improved this offseason, then he could be ready to become a starter. He must prove this through his production.
Part of that will be in his coverage but the most focus will be directed on how well he can rush the passer. Others such as Tyson Jackson (and his improvement) and Javier Arenas will also factor into improving the pass rush, but the main spotlight will fall on Studebaker.

HP announced a new handset for the Pre range – the HP Pre 3. Essentially it's what Palm Pre 2 should've been. Bigger, faster and higher resolution screen. The screen size was bumped to 3.6 inch and resolution to 800 x 480 pixels.

Judson's work continues in Burma
Along with a steadfast Christian community in Burma (now Myanmar), First Baptist Church in Moulmein is among the many evidences of pioneer missionary Adoniram Judson's legacy.

200 years later, Judson's mission still changing world
Judson's letters inspire modern missionaries
For Judson, a sermon pointed him eastward
Judson & an unlikely missions candidate
BURMA, Asia (BP) -- The groundbreaking work of Baptist missionary Adoniram Judson is still blessing Burma (now Myanmar) 200 years after Judson accepted Jesus and embraced His call to spread Christianity in the Asian country known then as Burma.
"When the Holy Spirit touched my heart I wanted to evangelize [the Burmese] to know Jesus. When they know Jesus, there is a joy in their life, and they know that they will not go to hell now."
-- Saw Aung, Karen Christian
Judson's imprint is being seen in men like Saw Aung*, a believer among the ethnic Karen people who was shocked when God called him to evangelize not his fellow Karen but their enemies, the country's majority Burmese.
When the Lord first called, "I had no interest in the Burmese people," Aung said. "We don't make friends with them. We stay separate from them and we neglect them wherever they are."
Since 1949, the Karen guerilla army has fought for their province's independence from Myanmar, which is predominantly Burmese. The ethnic lines had been drawn and Aung had no desire to cross them.
Yet, in a move that illustrates a trend throughout the church in Burma, God delivered Aung from the ethnic prejudice and stirred within him a passion for his calling.
"When the Holy Spirit touched my heart ... I wanted to evangelize [the Burmese] to know Jesus," Aung recounted. "When they know Jesus, there is a joy in their life, and they know that they will not go to hell now."
Judson's imprint also can be seen in Burmese Christian Tun Kyaw*, who continues the translation work that was a passion for Judson.
After 21 years as a high school and university teacher, Kyaw left his job in 2002 and dedicated the rest of his life to serving the Lord. He began traveling with other Christians, witnessing in villages.
Yet, Kyaw knew that he, like Judson, had a gift for languages and could pick up regional tongues such as Wa, Akha and Shan merely by associating with members from each people group -- and that he could use this ability to help spread the Gospel.
Kyaw has produced translations for evangelical cassette tapes and books in addition to preparing training materials. Most significantly, he worked with a committee to update the Bible in a minority language.
Kyaw also continued to evangelize in villages and, like Judson, even spent time in prison. Like Judson's Burmese translation of the Bible, Kyaw's language work has affected people across the country and likely will leave a legacy.
Although 200 years have passed since Adoniram and Ann Judson sailed for Asia, their lives continue to set forth a challenging example just us they did to Christians then.
Of the world's 11,424 people groups, 3,257 are less than 2 percent evangelical Christian and have no one to bring them the Gospel light. Who, then, might be a modern-day Judson to go to them?

Quitman - A Brooks County Jailer has found himself on the other side of the law.
FBI agents say a year long undercover investigation led to the arrest of a detention officer working at the Brooks County jail.
They say 21 year-old Kendrick Wade is charged with possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute. "He was interested in begin a cocaine entrepreneur," says Brooks County Sheriff Richard Chafin.
Chafin says an informant tipped him off that Wade was buying and selling drugs and they caught him in the act.
"We actually took him into custody after he received a kilo of cocaine from an undercover FBI agent," Chafin says. "We immediately stopped that transaction in it's place and I fired him on the spot."
Wade had worked at the jail for a year. Chafin says it came as a shock to all the officers in the department.
"I've been sheriff here 21 years and this is the first time something like this has taken place and I'm just glad we were able to find out about it and put a stop to it. I hate it for him and I hate that he's made the decision to do what he's done."
Wade was indicted yesterday at the Federal Courthouse in Albany. He's scheduled to make a second appearance December 12th.

If you think you might enjoy riding along the Teton Mountain Range (the youngest range of the Rocky Mountains) via Wyoming's newest Scenic Byway (The Star Valley Scenic Byway), or through Yellowstone National Park (the oldest and most popular National Park in the continental United States) from the seat of your Harley, then YOU really don't want to miss the 2014 Wyoming State H.O.G. Rally in ALPINE, WY.
At an elevation of 5,640', Alpine is located at the southern end of the Snake River Canyon where the Snake River enters Palisades Reservoir. The town is also known as Alpine Junction since it marks the point where US Route 89 and US Route 26 turn in opposite directions. The two routes run concurrently through the Snake River Canyon from Jackson, Wyoming. In Alpine, US 89 turns south toward Afton, Wyoming, while US 26 turns north and follows the edge of Palisades Reservoir to Swan Valley, Idaho. Three rivers come together in the vicinity of Alpine: the Snake, the Salt, and the Greys - all three flow into the Palisades Reservoir, with the latter two giving up their waters to the Snake River, making the Grey's River Cove RV an excellent place to set up camp during the rally if you are truly into the outdoors.
Yellowstone National Park, the oldest, "second" largest, and most popular National Park in the continental United States is only 94 miles from Alpine. Few places on earth offer so much scenic and scientific interest in one area. Yellowstone is in the heart of the Rockies, a land of pine-clad mountains and broad, grassy valleys. The countryside is laced with lakes and streams of exquisite beauty.

Nine nations from around the globe have signed an international agreement to explore the moon and lay the groundwork for a new generation of lunar exploration and science at the NASA's Ames Research Center recently.
A multinational fleet of robotic spacecraft will be going to the moon to study the surface and geology in this decade as NASA plans to return humans to its surface by 2020. The United States, Canada, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Britain and France each signed the unique exploration agreeement to share lunar exploration costs.
The agreement provides for a network to monitor the moon's seismic activity that would stretch from the poles to the far side. India hopes to send its Chandrayaan-1 probe to orbit the moon this year. China's Chang'e probe and Japan's Selene are already there. Japan is expected to launch the first of the spacecraft, a rover, by 2012, with two American landers, called the NASA Anchor Nodes, following soon after. China, not a part of the international agreement, is also expected to continue its lunar exploration with surface rovers.
"The exploration of the moon in the next decade will not be human, it will be this international flotilla," said David Morrison, interim director of the newly created Lunar Science Institute at Ames. "Ultimately, I think we will send people to the moon, but we don't have to wait for that."

A Good AirPlay Speaker
If I were going to buy an AirPlay speaker today, I'd get Audyssey's Audio Dock Air. Compared to other speakers that use Apple's proprietary streaming protocol, the Audio Dock Air is reasonably affordable (no small feat for AirPlay speakers), has a great form factor, and can produce big, room-filling, sound.
That said, AirPlay speakers are still very much a nascent category. So while we've seen a bunch of new offerings from companies like JBL, Logitech, iHome, and Altec Lansing this year, the fact is you're still going to pay an unnecessary premium for AirPlay compatibility–not to mention limit yourself to playing music through iOS devices. That's why we can still easily recommend something like the $300 Sonos Play:3 or a Bluetooth speaker if you truly want the most wireless bang for your buck. You'll not only get more flexibility with these speakers, you'll also get audio quality that at the very least rivals Apple's CD-quality AirPlay.
Here's why.
If your goal is to build out a multi-room audio setup, Sonos even has distinct advantages beyond price. Both the Play:5 and Play:3 use Sonosnet, a proprietary wireless network that's more reliable and robust than standard Wi-Fi, which AirPlay uses. Airplay, on the other hand, must duke it out for bandwidth with other Wi-Fi users in your home so when usage is high, reliability is affected and dropouts can occur (see Tim Gideon's critique of Audio Dock Air below). Sonos can also stream multiple sources to multiple rooms at the same time. ITunes also lets you create multiple listening zones, but you're limited to listening to the same thing in every zone. To play different music in different rooms like a Sonos systems allows, you'd need multiple iDevices or multiple instances of iTunes running.
Also, while AirPlay devices have the benefit of simply existing on your home network–eliminating the need to constant re-pairing–something like the bluetooth-based wireless speaker, the Big Jambox can remember up to eight devices, which also does away with that annoyance. It will also be cheaper at $300 and work with more than just Apple devices.
Heck, you can now even invest in a $99 AirPort Express and use it with a Sonos or an existing speaker system. That would be another (better) option at this point. After all, if it's got a 3.5mm input (and is relatively close to a power outlet), it can be a AirPlay speaker.
But fine, we know that there are plenty of people out there who already have thriving Apple ecosystems at home and who just want a dedicated AirPlay speaker. And for them, the Audio Dock Air is definitely a solid choice. Lex Friedman of Macworld gives it 4 out of 5 mice and says this monolithic speaker generates some impressive sound, is easy to set up, and complements any genre of music. "I was satisfied with the Audio Dock's ability to fill even big rooms with sound," Friedman says. "Even at full volume, which falls just shy of ear-splitting levels, music playback was crisp and distortion-free."
Laptop Magazine agrees. "The Lower East Dock Air took everything we threw at it and more," says Sherri L. Smith. "Highs, lows, and everything in between sounded rich and balanced."
Sam Biddle at Gizmodo recently compared four AirPlay speakers (the Libratone Live, the Audyssey Audio Dock Air, the Logitech UE Air Speaker and the Bang & Olufsen Beolit 12) and says the Audyssey made short work of the more expensive competition, earning a score of 4.5/5. "The Audio Dock Air is just fantastic: a little heavy on bass, but able to fill a room with incredibly rich sound, across genres," he says. "It's only about the width of couple dictionaries, but the sound is not confined to any given bookshelf, dresser, or countertop. Even with poor apartment acoustics, a room swells with bright highs, satisfying lows, and terrifically sharp fidelity."
There are some downsides, of course. While he ultimately gave the Audio Dock Air a respectable 3.5/5 score, PC Mag's Tim Gideon had considerable connection difficulties on his home Wi-Fi network. He also warns that these are not speakers for people looking for accurate or flat sound. "AirPlay's sound quality is actually pretty impressive, with strong bass performance," he says. "The Audio Air Dock only adds to the bass experience; Even at low-to-moderate volumes, one might say it sounds 'thunderous.'" If you're hoping to take that thunderous sound away from an outlet, you're out of luck. Unfortunately, despite being a very portable 5 lbs, the Air Dock is not battery powered.
And yes, other AirPlay systems out there sound better. If you're one percenter and don't mind dropping $600, the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air is a good choice. Critics almost universally love it. Frankly, I think it's still insane given that you can directly hook an Airport Express up to something like Audioengine's A5 and get not just better sound, but a much wider soundstage. Total cost? $400. (Sound and Vision's Geoffrey Morrision has a great piece on building a AirPlay/Wi-Fi compatible audio system, if you're interested.) Pioneer's new XW-SMA3-K sells for $400 and impressed Gizmodo's Mario Aguilar with its impressive sound quality and hefty battery, but it's not yet widely available and there aren't any other reviews. We'll keep our eyes open for information and update when we know more. The $500 Altec Lansing InAir 5000 and the $400 Sony RDP-XA700IP are both slightly more affordable than the B&W and have also been well received. But again, you can spend your money more effectively.
As for the cheaper AirPlay speakers, yes they do exist. But even opting for something like the new JBL OnBeat Air, and you'll be paying more than you should reviewers say. Even with its $200 price tag, PC Mag's Gideon says the OnBeat Air is vastly underpowered and can distort on deep bass tracks.
There's no doubt that AirPlay speakers will get better and cheaper over time. And we'll continue to take into consideration any new speakers that come out. But as Biddle says, for now, the Audyssey Audio Dock Air "is a near-perfect split between a fair price, splendid sound, and friendly form."
If you want to see what else is out there in the wireless speaker realm, check out our favorite Bluetooth speakers, the $300 Big Jambox and the more budget minded $100 Soundfreaq Sound Kick SFQ-04, as well as our best pick for multi-room wireless: the Sonos Wireless Zone Players.
Airplay speakers aren't our favorite, but if you definitely know you want one, the Audyssey's Audio Dock Air takes the most balanced approach.
Audyssey Audio Dock Air, AudysseyAudyssey Audio Dock Air on Audyssey
User Reviews, Amazon.comAudyssey Audio Dock on Amazon, 4/5 stars (7 reviews)
Audyssey Lower East Side Audio Dock Air, Macworld, March 30, 2012,4/5 Mice: "The passive radiators offer an impressive degree of oomph—you can feel the bass presence even at moderate volumes."
Audyssey Lower East Side Dock Air Review, Laptop Magazine, December 12, 2011,4/5 Stars: "This AirPlay-enabled speaker packs great audio no matter the music genre and is well worth the $400 price tag."
Audyssey Audio Dock Air, PC Magazine, May 23, 2012,3.5/5: "With its boosted bass, the Audyssey Audio Dock Air is an AirPlay dock intended for lovers of low frequencies, but it has some occasional streaming issues."
The Best AirPlay Speakers, Gizmodo, May 3, 2012,Gizrank: 4.5/5 stars. "Audyssey has made terrific small speakers and docks, and they've finally made the one folks have wanted all along. The Audio Dock Air is just fantastic: a little heavy on bass, but able to fill a room with incredibly rich sound, across genres."

I got my first computer in the spring of 1978. It was a TRS-80 Model 1. In those days, an ordinary individual owning a computer was a revolutionary event. While many of you may be too young to remember, there was a time when only two groups could afford computers - big business and big government. There was a phrase that was used in the old days that you don't hear anymore: "do not fold, spindle, or mutilate." This phrase was printed on punch cards that would be sent with your phone bill and such. The problem was that while you weren't allowed to mistreat the punch card, the same could not be said of the way the large institutions with computers treated everybody else.
In the early days of personal computing, there was tremendous excitement about the potential for personal empowerment that the computer could provide. One example that I remember was this: suppose you wanted to write to your congressman about some law you wanted changed. Before personal computers, you would sit down at the typewriter and compose a letter to your congressman and then mail it. With a computer and a mailing list, you could do the same thing, but you didn't have to settle with writing a letter to just your congressman, you could write to all of them!
It was an amazing thing to have control over your own computer. To have the freedom to learn how it worked, to create new ways of using it based on this newfound understanding. Today, we take computers for granted. They are everywhere. And more and more we take our freedom for granted, too. We seem to accept the idea that we are not smart enough to really understand our computers, that software is supposed to crash all the time and that we have to pay someone else for the right to use our own computers.
With the coming of the Internet we have once again been put into revolutionary times. There is another wave of personal empowerment as well. Now everyone can be a publisher. But once again our freedom is in danger. Recent attempts to censor Internet content, prohibitions on reverse engineering, and the rise of digital access controls create the beginnings of a diminished future, like the one portrayed by Richard Stallman in his essay "The Right To Read".
I urge all of you to think long and hard about the freedoms you take for granted.

Labels: Philosophy, The Catholic Faith, The Chosen, The Middle Kingdom
"A society that has made 'nostalgia' a marketable commodity on the cultural exchange quickly repudiates the suggestion that life in the past was in any important way better than life today." — Christopher Lasch
Labels: Philosophy, The Catholic Faith, The Chosen, The Middle Kingdom
CS Lewis wrote about this in his book Abolition of Man. A very good read -- he links the Chinese idea of the Tao with the western idea of natural law.
Claes G. Ryn, a leading conservative scholar who has worked to bridge East and West, is worth checking out on this point also.
However, Zac does not seem to understand how Chinese ideograms actually work. He treats the components of the characters as etymological, which they are not. At least not in 90% of cases.

It's a way to teach future generations on the Mississippi Coast about those who paved the way. Hundreds gathered to break ground on the new Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum in Biloxi.
Officials said the road to rebuilding has not been an easy one.
Teddy Busick owned an oyster and shrimp processing plant for more than 20 years before Hurricane Katrina washed it away. He said the deep love Coast people have for seafood industry will last forever.
"It's our heritage. You know it's the whole coast," said Teddy Busick. "It's what we all grew up with as a kid born and raised here. I'm happy to see anybody promote seafood."
Friday was a day of celebration in Biloxi. After seven years the time had finally come to break ground on a new Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum.
"We've had a lot of obstacles to overcome," said Museum Director Robin Kroh-David. "So it just makes it that much more special for us to open and be here today and start rebuilding."
Museum officials said just as the Coast is proud of its seafood heritage the new museum will be something to brag about.
"A beautiful facility. It will have all the various exhibits that we had previously, everything," said Krohn-David. "Plus some new things. We're adding a few new exhibits. So they need to come in and reeducate themselves to all of the unique history and heritage that made Biloxi the seafood capital of the world."
"I believe in heritage," said Biloxi native Jake Mladinich. "I try to preserve as much of it as I possibly can that is of who were my parents, who were my grandparents, where did they come from and why did they come what is referred to as the Old Country?"
After the groundbreaking, guests enjoyed a large seafood feast. Officials said the museum is scheduled to open in May of 2014.

Hi, i'm planning to have 2 packages for the same application, one for sys 60 devices, and another for sys 40 devices. The two packages will differ slightly in jar & jad. Later on i'm planning to continue
to enhance each package separately.
How should i go about submitting these 2 packages?
(the questions are multiple choice answers for ease of answering)
1) Should i submit the two packages a) at the same time or b) wait until one is approved and then submit the other?
2) how would the two packages be eventually identified in the OVI store? is there a convention? for example, if i was planning to call the app "ABC Reminders", should each package have its own name, like "ABC Reminders for Sys 60", and "ABC Reminders for Sys 40"?
3) If i later on publish an enhanced version of one of the packages,
3.1) would owners of this app get notified that there is a newer version?
3.2) if the app is not a free but a paid app, do owners of an older version get the newer version a) for free b) the developer/publisher to decide the upgrade cost c) the pay just like people who buy it for the first time?

Over the past few weeks the CSRA
has had an increase in automotive battery thefts. Reports of battery thefts are
occurring at residential and commercial properties, new and used car lots, and
automotive repair shops. Thieves are breaking into automobiles, tractor trucks,
dump trucks, construction and farm equipment with the sole intention of
stealing the batteries.
Unfortunately the new metal theft
law (HB 872) does not regulate batteries making it difficult to catch the
thieves responsible.
The CSRA have been working with
victims of these reported thefts offering low cost –prevention techniques that
have been successful in preventing metal thefts and apprehension of the
responsible thief. Below is a few of these crime prevention techniques:
Batteries are targeted by metal
thieves to sell to recycling centers as this is one of the only state
exceptions to receive cold hard cash.
1) Batteries can be engraved with
the owner's initials or other identification markings that could be linked to
them. Previous victims have also used paint pens to mark their batteries with
identifiable markings.
2) Batteries can be marked with a
can of high visibility neon colored spray paint (Neon Pink, Orange, Green,
Yellow etc.). The high visibility paint acts as deterrence to thieves and makes
it easier for law enforcement to identify your stolen batteries if they should
show up at recycling centers.

Did you do it?
Have you ever asked yourself, why do we say 'do & did & done' all_the_time? In portuguese you can skip all the do-did-done nonsense and speak about what you do, did do and have done much easier! Let's prove it.
What did you do yesterday? > O que você fez ontem?
How did you do that? > Como você fez isso?
Did you do your homework? > Você fez seu deve de casa?
Let the verb FAZER 'do' all the doing.
You just need to remember how to conjugate it. FAZER is very irregular:
eu fiz
você, ele, ela fez
nós fizemos
vocês, eles, elas fizeram

Look no further for a Mini-Bag
August 09, 2011
I recently bought this bag primarily for its dimensions and adjustable strap. I wanted a small bag in which to carry a few essentials and I wanted to wear the strap as a crossover (I am an average sized person). I am really pleased with this product and highly recommend it. The fabric is very durable inside and out. The zipper is sturdy and the snap on the bag's front is substantial. I bought the color "Wink" which is a beautiful,rich, dark turquoise on the front flap. The rest of the bag and the strap is a dark graphite gray. The front flap attaches to the rest of the bag with velcro. I can easily fit a wallet, keys and sunglasses in the main compartment, which is about 8 and 1/2 inches long and about 6 inches wide. The zippered compartment is accessed underneath the front flap and you could put an iPod or something up to 5 and 3/4" long by 3 and 1/2" wide in there very easily. The snap compartment on the front flap is another convenient place to put something with dimensions up to 4x5 inches. The open pocket on the back is a great place to just reach into and grab something. The open pocket's space would accommodate something up to about 4 and 1/2 inches in width.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use

Eau Claire (WQOW) - The season of giving is upon us and for one local couple they're taking their giving to a new level this season.
It all started with a Craigslist ad.
"I was cruising through there one night and found a gal that needed some Halloween costumes," said Karla Highley "So we brought some over to her house."
That one act of kindness sparked a determination to give to those in need.
"It felt good to give," said Highley "So we wanted to go above and beyond just giving out Halloween outfits and maybe start something to help other families."
Out of a small storage unit Karla and her husband Keith run ARK, or Acts of Random Kindness, giving away donated items for free to those in need.
"We're happy to do it," said Highley "It's something we really want to do and it's really our pleasure to do it for them."
Since they started ARK about a month and a half ago close to 20 people have responded to Karla's Craigslist ads, to help fill up their small unit, or receive help.
"We're pretty amazed that people have stepped up as much as they have," said Highley "It's really good."
Right now it's a storage unit with boxes and bags but they hope to add shelves and hangers to create a shop-like experience.
"Hopefully we can be a big difference to the community," said Highley "and let them know that we need more help for these type of people that are struggling all year long. Not just at Christmas."
While the space maybe small. This couple isn't afraid to think big.
"We're really motivated to start a food pantry," said Highley "There's a lot of things on the back of our minds that we'd like to do. The main goal right now is letting people that are in need take what they need for free."
In the end, knowing that they've helped someone in need is what is most important to Karla and Keith.
If you would like to contact Keith and Karla send them an email.

5 Cheap Oil Stocks
Chris is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Strange charges, slow markets, and fewer rigs have hurt Halliburton (NYSE: HAL), which provides equipment and services to the oil and gas industry. In measuring the value of the industry, Halliburton is a good metric.
Plagued by Gum
In Q2, Halliburton took a strange charge. The company stocked up on guar gum, a product that drillers use during the hydraulic fracturing process. Then prices plunged, causing Halliburton to take a huge loss.
While Halliburton faced a unique problem, its other difficulties also plagued the entire oil and gas industry. The number of American rigs is a central number that indicates the strength of the oil-field-service industry. According to a report by Credit Suisse, the number of rigs has been declining for months, and the number is expected to decline into 2013.
Baker Hughes (NYSE: BHI), Weatherford (NYSE: WFT), and Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB) are also affected by the phenomenon. When the number of oil rigs falls, service companies must either weather the storm or find alternate ways to replace that revenue.
Similar to drillers like ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), which trades at a very low P/E ratio, the oil services firms have taken a beating. As a result of the industry slowdown, oil-field-services companies have trailed the S&P 500 by 10%, according to The Wall Street Journal.
However, the downtrend presents a buying opportunity for those who believe that the sector will turn up come 2013. Below are financial analyses of these four service companies and ExxonMobil. I included ExxonMobil in the discussion to give a comparison of a drilling company. The services industry is trading at low valuations – and ExxonMobil is, as well.
Stock Prices and Dividend Payouts Relative to the S&P 500
From the chart above, the market looks to be punishing companies with large debt loads (debt loads taken from Yahoo! Finance). Weatherford, for example, is trading under its book value per share. At just .9, Benjamin Graham would likely point out that this company is worth more dead than alive.
When Weatherford last reported earnings, the company showed $7.9 billion in debt and just $339 million in cash. Further, the company posted a poor -$298.4 million in leveraged free cash flow (ttm).
Schlumberger, in contrast, reported $11.2 billion in debt compared to $4.8 billion in cash on hand. For the capital-intensive oil and gas industry, this is far better – perhaps a reason that Schlumberger trades at almost three times its book value.
Finally, Exxon's valuations are telling. Exxon sells at 2.5 times book value, but trades at a P/E of just 9.5. Exxon competes in an incredibly capital-intensive business. However, its debt pales in comparison to its cash. Exxon has $15.6 billion in debt and $17.8 billion in cash, when it last reported its earnings results.
Growth Ahead
While the U.S. market turns down, oil and gas companies can hedge their losses by earning revenues in Africa and Asia. Writing about Halliburton and the industry overall, The Wall Street Journal says:
While short-term trends have dented Halliburton's bottom line, the big picture is brighter. Growth in rig usage abroad, especially in Africa and Asia, should keep the global rig count roughly flat this year and next, predicts Credit Suisse.
In the midst of a U.S. slowdown, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, Weatherford, and Schlumberger can travel overseas to boost their revenues. Exxon already drills in these regions.
Buying at Nice Valuations
The prices of these large oil and gas companies have lagged the market. If the S&P continues its recent downtrend, the market will likely take these stocks with it.
For the astute investor, a market downturn could be a nice time to scoop these already-battered oil and gas plays on the cheap, laying the groundwork for later profits.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – A local engineer is giving new life to an old church that will hopefully move one neighborhood into a positive direction.
Tony Leon Harris Jr. was found shot to death on a front porch along North Fifth Avenue in 2011. The case remains unsolved.
While there's been little headway in his murder investigation, the neighborhood is moving away from violence.
The historic Fifth Avenue Baptist Church that once stood at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Bladen Street has been torn down to make way for construction of a new church.
Engineer Ronald Sparks was hired for the project and has already begun rebuilding the church from the ground up. The more than 3,000 square foot facility will not only help bring back members of the congregation, but also put people in the area back to work.
Once complete, the church will hold a maximum of about 160 people. Sparks hopes this congregation is just the thing to get this neighborhood back on the right track.

This lamp arrived perfectly in tact. You insert the bulb (though you can use up to 150 watts, I recommend 60 - otherwise you can see the bright light through the reeds otherwise), remove the safety plug and voila! Instant coastal feel.
First, be clear this is an accent lap and not one that will be your primary light source in a room. It is well put together and a neat piece. You can sort of see the bulb through the branches but its not horrible. I started with a regulars light bulb and it felt a little too industrial and stark for me plus it made me nervous having a hot bulb in the middle of a bunch of dried sticks. I ended up getting a color changing LED bulb *** and this really made it cool. The bulb is not hot and I can change to any color I want, including white, Adding this bulb really made it a totally awesome and different lamp. I love it!
It's an unusual piece and I like how it looks, although I wish they had used more reeds because the bulb shows through pretty glaringly. It is also somewhat fragile - several of the reeds came broken, and I'm afraid wear and tear will show over time. Still, I'm enjoying it.
This is a very unique lamp and it really makes my space look awesome. Very good buy.
First shipment arrived badly damaged. Asked for a refund, but instead was shipped a second as a replacement. Only sightly better in quality. Idea good, execution poor.
I love this lamp. The size and look is everything I was looking for. I put a 60 watt light bulb instead of the 150 and it gives off the perfect ambiance. It looks even better in person. I am very please with this item.
