Asafa expected today
BIRMINGHAM, England - Jamaican team officials here are expecting 100m sprinter Asafa Powell to arrive in camp today at the University of Birmingham as preparations reach fever pitch for the start of the London Olympics later this week.
Up to last night UK time, Powell, who was third in the men's 100m at the Jamaica National Trials last month behind Yohan Blake and Usain Bolt, was the only one of the 47 track and field athletes who had not turned up, more than a week into what was termed a mandatory camp for all athletes.
Donald Quarrie, technical leader of the Jamaican team here, had confirmed with the Observer that all athletes were accounted for except Powell who he said was expected in today.
"I spoke to one of the MVP athletes today and they told me Asafa would be in Tuesday so we are looking out for him then," Quarrie said.
Team manager Ludlow Watts had told Jamaican journalists on Sunday that they expected that all athletes would be in camp by Monday evening but when pressed about what the consequences would be if anyone was not there, Watts said, "we will cross that bridge when we get there", but stressed that he would be "surprised" if everyone was not in camp.
Quarrie would not be drawn in on any possible consequences but said his main concern was about the athlete's heath.
"I am just hoping he is OK and nothing is wrong with him, that's my main concern right now," Quarrie told the Observer.
A number of athletes, including some from the powerful MVP camp, arrived over the weekend and were seen among the numbers that were at a welcome dinner put on by Jamaica National and the University of Birmingham in the great hall of the Aston Webb building yesterday.
Neither Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Brigitte Foster-Hylton nor Sherone Simpson were among them, however, while Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake had been whisked away inside the main building shortly after arriving with their teammates.
The team managers will peel away the several layers of the camp today and throw open the doors to accredited media houses for the 'media day', but won't allow any individual interviews with the athletes.
Watts had described the present camp as "unique" in that with so many athletics competitions going on before the start of the Olympics, athletes had been given permission to come and go and while he said it was not the perfect setting, it allowed the athletes to compete and help their preparations.
The athletes will be feted at another dinner today before a public meeting at Victoria Square in the city centre tomorrow before leaving for London and the Athletes' Village on Thursday.

Nacogdoches, TX — Police are looking for two masked and hooded black men who they said robbed the Lucky Stop on Douglass Road at about 10:45 Thursday evening.
The two were wearing black hoodies, ski masks and dark pants when they entered the store and threatened the clerk. Both men displayed hand guns.
The men took an undetermined amount of cash from the clerk and fled the store on foot.

There had been a few rumors flying around Tim Kennedy since his decision loss to Luke Rockhold earlier this month. It was possible he was going to return to active duty military service, or even drop to 170. Neither appear to be the case, if you read between the lines on his twitter account. Last week he tweeted about a possible bout with grappling phenom Roger Gracie:
I read @cokersf said @rogergracie was the best grappler in @Strikeforce . I would love to prove that is not the case.— Tim Kennedy (@TimKennedyMMA) July 23, 2012
Gracie responded to the "challenge" via an interview with Tatame:
He can say whatever he wants. He can be good on the ground, but technically I'm much better. In a Jiu-Jitsu match, he probably wouldn't have a chance against me," Roger told TATAME about the challenge.
"In a MMA fight, we can't say. In my last fight, my opponent (Keith Jardine) was far away from being a black belt and I couldn't submit him".
Roger, who defeated Jardine in his middleweight debut, is open to fight anyone next, including Kennedy.
"I guess it can be an interesting fight. Anyone in Strikeforce would do an interesting fight with me".
Strikeforce is actually in a decent situation right now with their middleweight division, and this matchup sounds like a pretty good idea to me. I highly doubt that Kennedy is any threat to Gracie on the ground, but the tweet did it's job I guess.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A Massachusetts congressman who shares George McGovern's last name recalled the former senator as a mentor who loved his country so much that he still believed strongly in democracy even after losing the presidential race in a historic landslide.
Rep. Jim McGovern is no relation to the former three-term U.S. senator from South Dakota, but he worked as an aide in George McGovern's Senate office and also worked in McGovern's unsuccessful presidential bid in 1984.
He spoke during George McGovern's funeral service Friday in Sioux Falls. George McGovern, a three-time Democratic presidential candidate, died Sunday. He was 90.
Says Jim McGovern: "He had enormous courage. He loved his faith and American history. He loved his great state of South Dakota, and my God, did he love his country."

- Summary: Developed by Petroglyph, this combat-intensive real-time strategy game enlists players in an epic struggle to prevent total alien domination of planet Earth. Universe at War: Earth Assault is set in the near-future when multiple factions from across the galaxy have come to Earth to wage epic warfare. Containing numerous features and customization options never-before-seen in the RTS genre, Universe at War: Earth Assault creates an exceptional strategy experience for single-player and especially multiplayer battles. The game employs a unique balance system called "Tactical Dynamics" that allows players to retrain and customize units in the midst of battle to better cope with enemy forces and tactical situations. Weaponry and defenses can be modified in true real-time to take advantage of constantly shifting battlefield conditions. Fully customizable tech trees allow players to control the development of technologies that they deem key to victory. Battles in Universe at War: Earth Assault are large in scope and take place in malleable and deforming environments. Deadly sci-fi weapons and alien powers will allow players to destroy cities and whole territories on a global scale. Because the world of Universe at War: Earth Assault is persistent, players can revisit previous battlegrounds to find them still smoldering in ruins. The game gives players achievements, rewards, and medals in a balanced environment to further encourage players to move forward in the game. Players from around the world battle in persistent-style online campaigns for ultimate faction supremacy across a virtual representation of the Earth. [Sega]… Expand

Once again, the gents and ladies at Petroglyph haven't disappointed. However, there's still nothing groundbreaking to be had here and due to the aforementioned slip ups, the game failed to achieve its full potential. But it comes very close.
Playing through the single-player story-driven campaign or fighting a real-time global campaign is fun. Multiplayer is somewhat bare-bones, but the matches themselves are entertaining enough.
The alien races fighting for control of the Earth are completely different from each other and from the usual anthropocentric units, and yet the designers managed to strike the proper balance of forces. It's easy to forgive the exceedingly huge mech designs taking up half of the field of view and occasional trouble with units failing to find the right path to the target. Overall it's a refreshing departure from the routine in the RTS genre. [March 2008]
For all its merits and imagination, all its potential and breathtaking battles, Universe at War is lacking an essential ingredient of real-time strategy games: strategy. [Mar 2008, p.72]
An unexpectedly good time that manages to rise above a cluster of problems, most notably - for us, at least - with multiplayer. A smidge more polish will get Universe at War up there with the best.
Universe at War: Earth Assault has what it takes to be a great RTS game, but sadly, it doesn't come together in a fulfilling way.
Everything that's wrong comes down to a lack of polish, and a poor choice in multiplayer game management.

Jul 26, 2013Aliens invade Earth, only seen that one done two or three times before... Saddly, I really do enjoy this game but find it hard to do it justice on paper, some units have trouble path finding, unit cloaking can be unreliable, and the air units are over powered as hell! But, I still love this game somehow.. The plot battles are generally fun with special missions more difficult and challenging then the skirmishes, but I really only ever do play this game for the skirmishes. This game's strength is in it's ability to allow the player to pick a map, team, enemy, and allies at will, and just, press, go. Never experienced any bugs that couldn't be fixed by just recommanding a unit to do an action it got caught up on.… Expand
Jun 8, 2011While Universe at War could have been a glorious game, comparable to Starcraft in how different the factions are, there are some issues that make it considerably less than it could have been. First of all the most glaring example, units are too strong. Every fight lasts minutes because units have so much health and so little damage. Superweapons are a mere support power, in fact the only super weapon that is powerful is the Novus Gravity Bomb, a black-hole type power that sucks all units into it. Oh, and it deals more damage than almost anything else. Another issue is the fact that two of the three factions are considerably more useful than the third. The 1st faction, Hierarchy, who is based around steamrolling, yet have the best scout (Monolith) and the have the ability to see the entire map at once. They are also the only faction to have an artillery unit, who is also debatable the most powerful Hero unit in the game. They also have structures who double as what is essentially an Epic/Super unit. The 2nd faction, Novus, is a swarming faction who also has the only notable Air units. The Dervish is a fast fighter that also has the ability to shoot lightning in every direction and kill just about anything. They are also supported by Vertigo, the only Air Hero. Vertigo is stealthed, fast, and has a deadly Railgun. The Novus also have Mirabel, who has more offensive capability than any other Novus unit. She has a powerful burst-fire Railgun, shoulder launched anti-ground missiles, and the ability to snipe a target from long distances. This Sniper ability is the only weapon that can instant kill another unit besides Superpowers. The final faction, the Masari, are supposedly Gods, yet are horribly outmatched. They supposedly are the turtling faction, yet the Novus have the only turret that can hit air and ground. The Novus turret also redirects enemy fire and increases in damage as more of them are made. The Hierarchy has an anti-ground turret that can mutate infantry into zombies and hold most vehicles at bay. The Hierarchy Anti-air turret can pull air units to the ground while it kills them when upgraded. The Air units cannot escape. Even Vertigo is not immune. The Hierarchy also has a stealth hero who can pull air units down, and then turn invincible as he drains their health. He can also drain vehicles health while invincible. His claws deal with infantry easily. Generally, this makes him a deadly force against all units. His one weakness: He has pathetic range. The game does have many more differences in the factions than games like Supreme Commander 2, but it is nowhere close to the differences between Starcraft's factions, and the differences are not exploited as much as in games like Command and Conquer 3.… Collapse
Oct 13, 2011All in all, the story line seems pretty good. However after playing for a dozen or so hours, I discovered that it randomly crashes, constantly sending me backwards, which is VERY frustrating. Along side some very... odd behavior from certain units. I had a walker take off on me, wandering through areas where nothing was supposed to be able to walk through, which confused the AI and made it's legs freeze and basically do circles. It had the potential to be a really good game, however the flaws within the game make it not worth the 20 price tag. Luckily I bought it on sale, so I don't feel completely ripped off.… Expand

Before you jump into creating your retail buyer pitch, start with creating your One Pager New Product Launch Summary. Complete each to the best of your ability and then go back and refine each one more time. Keep this to a single page so you can keep this on your desk to keep you focused.
How Will You Make Money? (your business model)
Are you selling only to retail? Are you an ecommerce business? Are you doing both? Are you creating your own brand, private label or both?
What are your Products/Services
Make sure you are very clear as to what you sell. If you make ice cream, be sure you articulate if you are premium, gluten free, vegan, etc. since ice cream is such a large category with many sub-categories.
Who is Your Target Market (your customers)
Stay away from saying "everyone"… mistakenly thinking that if everyone eats then everyone is your target! No. Describe your customer in enough detail so the world can see a "picture" of your customer. Think about why your customer is different, how they might use your product in their lives. This should be compelling enough that a retail supermarket buyer can see that your customer is also their customer.
Where Will You Sell Your Product?
Will you be in supermarkets and if so what type? Will you sell only to specialty stores or independent health food stores? Are you selling as an ecommerce company?
Sales/Marketing Strategy
Try thinking of Who, What, When, Where and Why to help you formulate your strategy. Read the article on About.com Butter Lane Cupcakes Uses Social Media to target new customers to see an example.
What is your Competitive Edge?
This is your unique selling proposition and should be more than taste.
Why Should the Retailer Buyer Give You Shelf Space?
Retail shelves are full and as a shopper you can see that for yourself. So if you want to get on the shelf, the retailer has to either discontinue another brand or reduce the number of facings in the category to make room for your brand. If you fail to articulate a compelling case you have little chance to get on the shelf.

'Geez, you have such bad luck with men'
BREAKING up is never easy for anyone, and while breakups are in themselves hard enough, what's even harder for some is facing friends and family and having to explain what went wrong, then hearing their views on the failed union.
Sure, your friend or family member may need a shoulder to cry on, but she doesn't need much more than that most times, and certainly not any of the 'words of wisdom' below.
Because trust us, she would have already berated herself for the failure, she would have already weighed the good and the bad parts, and she doesn't need a reminder from you about how much things sucked, or will suck in the near future.
Here are a few things you should never say to someone going through a break-up, gems that have some of the women who shared them with us still cringing.
1. "You have such bad luck with men. Maybe you should live alone."
"Even if I am bad at picking partners, that is not something I want to hear when I'm going through a break-up," Sandy said. "I wouldn't want to be blaming myself for the position I find myself in."
2. "You'll get over him when you find a new man."
"This is surely no comfort, especially when the other person is the one who broke up with you," Elaine Gray said. "The last thing on my mind at this point is another man."
3. "I never liked him anyway."
"This is not comforting, especially if the person telling me is a close friend or family member who I always thought was into him," Arlene Thomas said.
4. "I saw him with his new girlfriend, they look so good together."
Althea Sawyers said this is the last thing you should say to someone going through a breakup as it just further damages their self esteem.
5. "You were not compatible anyway."
"Then how come we spent four years together? This is just something I didn't want to hear," one reader said of a comment she received after her break-up not so long ago.
6. "He used to cheat on you."
"If I am the one who broke up with him, fine, but if he left me then it means I am still in love with him and don't want to hear anything negative in the early stages. It really doesn't help," Stacy-Ann Bennett said.
7. "But I heard he was gay."
"Commenting on his sexuality won't make me feel any better," Patricia said. "It only adds a whole new dimension to the 'why' and 'how come' questions that I will be battling for months after the break-up.
So what should you say? The experts say the ideal thing is to say less, listen more, and don't judge. "Just offer a shoulder to cry on if they need it and an ear to listen if they want to talk — no more, no less," counsellor David Anderson said. "Above all, don't comment negatively about their ex. Remember, they chose to love them and your opinion doesn't matter now."

The face of the Phoenix SUNS continues to change. As posted earlier by intrepid BSotS reporter Alex Laugan, Phoenix Suns Experience Change At All Levels Of The Organization. And today we have learned that there has been even more turnover in the back offices.
The Gorilla has decided that he's had enough of these 110+ degree days, what with his fur coat and all, and he's headed out of Phoenix. Though he gave no comment, he did tweet that, "I've longed to climb the Empire State Building and dunk from there! To the Big Banana, Yo! #DunkyMonky."
The SUNS moved swiftly to replace their mascot. In a complicated 4-team trade that satisfies all new CBA rules and aggregation requirements, Bango the Buck heads to OKC, where "Fear the Deer" signs will now join "Fear the Beard" signs, Rumble the Bison heads to the San Diego Chargers, and the (former) San Diego Chicken and two DLeague mascots to be named later (possibly a Mad Ant and a Red Claw) will come to the SUNS. And Spike Lee now has to sit courtside in Milwaukee. The Chicken will alter his costume to that of a fried chicken when he arrives in Phoenix.
Phoenix SUNS head trainer Aaron Nelson, an Unrestricted Free Agent, has declared that he's heading to Portland. "There's no challenge in Phoenix anymore, what with the old guys moving on. The nanobots that held Grant Hill's ankle together are getting bored. The extra-dimensional bionic harness that strengthened Steve Nash's back is lying in a heap and the micro-gyroscopes that corrected his pelvic instability have spun away into a Calabi-Yau manifold. Even the arc reactor powered adamantium plasma welder used to fuse Amar'e's micro-fractures together just sits there. We tried to keep Barkley frozen in the cryo-chamber, but he kept dreaming of ice cream and breaking out. So, I've decided to take my talents to somewhere where they're needed. I'm heading to Portland.
"Not now, though. I'm heading back to Portland in 2007 right after they drafted Oden. I've been dabbling in a little techno-sorcery and going back in time 5 years should be easy. Just a short while back, I traded a Higgs boson to CERN for some faster-than-lightspeed tachyon particles that should fuel my time machine. I don't pay that much attention to nonsports related news, and I was surprised when I heard they had lost their HIggs boson, or couldn't find one, or had been looking for 50 years, or something. Well, I had a few lying around the locker room, so it was easy to make the swap.
"I'm thinking of creating some holographic knees for Oden out of hard light that should be able to give him a credible NBA career. I'm also doing some gene-splicing in my spare time, and I might grow Brandon Roy some new knees also, possibly from some werewolf DNA I have back in my garage."
Truly, there have been many huge changes in all levels of the Phoenix SUNS organization. Someone has even rumored that the mighty TrollStan is leaving, but I don't believe a word of it.
We salute you, Gorilla and Nelson-- thanks for the memories!!
Go SUNS!!

What may be the only complete set of ...
Iconic Canadian artist Alex Colville passed away yesterday at his home in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. Colville was 92, with a career that spanned seven decades. Today, many are reacting to the loss and reflecting on his life and legacy.
The "consistency and intelligence" of Colville's work, as well as a sense of mystery, was what set him apart, says National Gallery of Canada Canadian art curator Charles Hill. "I think it's the loss of a great talent," Hill says, describing him as "part of an Atlantic realist tradition that goes back to Miller Brittain."
Hill also noted a strong sense of "restrained emotion" as being a defining aspect of Colville's art. "People are very internalized in his work," Hill says. "In his works, people exist in themselves, and I think that reflects his own personality."
Indeed, Colville wasn't afraid to reject trends and remain true to his own internal vision. When abstraction became the rage in the 1950s, Colville continued to work in representation and figuration. And when painting itself fell out of favour in the 1960s and 1970s, Colville continued to create meticulous canvases, many of which have become "classics of Canadian art," Hill says.
In this respect, Hill says, Colville can be considered in tandem with late Canadian artists Jean-Paul Lemieux and William Kurelek. "They are all very different types of artists, but they all held to their own views in terms of fashion," Hill says.
Hill also says a sense of "post-war angst" seems to have had an impact on all three. "Colville was a soldier in the Second World War, and I'm sure that marked him," Hill says.
Taking Simple Subjects and Making Them Profound
After returning from his tour as a war artist, Colville became a teacher at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick, where he taught from 1946 to 1963. There, he influenced Christopher Pratt, Mary Pratt and Tom Forrestall, among other nationally respected realist painters who have continued his legacy.
"What was important to me was the way he lived and his ability to take very simple objects and make them profound," Mary Pratt says. "What I learned from Alex was that you didn't have to go all over the place and look for a subject; you could just open your eyes and the world could come to you, and you could find it profound enough and worthy of respect and consideration."
After graduation, Colville became a mentor to Pratt and others.
"He showed me you could just look at the world in its wonderful simplicity and find in that simplicity lots and lots to think about," Pratt says.
Today, Colville's influence remains present on the Mount Allison University campus. Two of his major mural works are there, and students come into the university's Owens Art Gallery each year to look at Colville's preparatory drawings for the mural, which are part of the collection, says Owens conservator Jane Tisdale.
"He is legendary here at the university," she says.
Currently, three of Colville's works are on view at the Owens, including a student self-portrait that was once thought to have been lost and is not part of his catalogue raisonné.
"He donated [that self-portrait] himself several years ago," Tisdale says. "As well as the drawings related to his murals… how he put it all together really comes out in those drawings."
The Owens also operates Colville House, where the artist, his wife Rhoda and their four children lived from 1949 to 1973. It was during these years that the artist produced many of his most important works, including Horse and Train and Nude and Dummy.
"He had quite a bit to do with the renovations of the house," Tisdale says. "You can imagine: he was so meticulous. He got into the blueprints and made a variety of changes, moving the walls around."
Atlantic Region Strongly Influenced by Colville
Following his time at Mount Allison, Colville and his family moved to Wolfville, Nova Scotia—his wife's hometown—where he became a university chancellor from 1981 to 1991 and continued his studio practice.
Acadia University Art Gallery director/curator Laurie Dalton says that the many affectionate anecdotes people have shared about Colville reflect his wide appeal.
"At the opening of our 2009 Colville show, it was amazing to see how much his work affected people of all ages in the community," Dalton says. "Little kids were coming in with books about him, lining up to get his signature. There were students in high school asking him what tips he had for those who wanted to be an artist. And there were people who had collected his work for 25 years. To me, that shows how his work transcends barriers and speaks to people in multiple different ways."
Art Gallery of Nova Scotia chief curator Sarah Fillmore says the Atlantic provinces were strongly influenced by his life and work.
"As a sort of mentor and teacher and as an artist who was very present in this region, his loss will be felt. The students that he has had, the kind of visual language that he has helped to create—there's a strong sense of it." Fillmore says. "His presence in the community has been very strong, and his role as an educator has been really important. Just about everybody has a story about him and how his work has touched them. It's pretty extraordinary."
Paintings Found International Audiences
Gisella Giacalone, director of Mira Godard Gallery, which represented Colville's work for more than 30 years, says she found it a "pleasure and a privilege" working with Colville.
"I always found him to be a very dignified person with a quiet integrity," Giacalone says. She says that year in and year out, a new painting would show up from the artist—"that's the way it worked, nothing to do with age or health. It was always an incredible treat to see the work and show the work and place the work in collections."
Through his career, Colville's work wasn't just placed in regional and national collections, but international ones as well. Exhibitions of his work were held at Marlborough Fine Art in London, the Kunsthalle in Dusseldorf, Kestner-Gesellschaft in Hanover, and Fischer Fine Art in London, among other venues in Hong Kong, Beijing and Tokyo. He also represented Canada at the 1966 Venice Biennale.
Some people, like Owens Art Gallery director/curator Gemey Kelly, hope that in future Colville's works are exhibited and curated in new ways—and, perhaps, seen with fresh eyes.
"It's always been a kind of solo-show phenomenon with Alex Colville," Kelly says. "Even though his work deals with a lot of themes like the body and photography and realism that have been addressed in large group shows, it was never curated into those types of shows. Maybe that will come now."
Colville's works are currently on view at the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, the Owens Art Gallery, the Acadia University Art Gallery, and Mira Godard Gallery, among other venues. Colville House is also open to visitors to the end of August.
Reader Comments
We spent 10 years(1959-1968) in Nova Scotia; Greenwood Air Base. Beautiful Annapolis Valley; I painted the natural aspect of its coast, Sunsets , I heard of Alex, but never met him. Some artists from Halifax Universiry came to our little art club on base; it was a new trend… but I always like the nature: I, have ,done many water colors, oïl paintings of PORT ROYAL WHERE 5 RENERATIONS OF POIRIER'S LIVED THERE; WE DID NOT KNOW THIS UNTIL I GOT MY FAMILY RESEARCH.
I TOOK PART OF A GROUP OF ARTISTS IN w
WOLFVILLE UNIVERSITY WITH Charles Taylor.
Another approach of doing painting…modern…but I always sketch true life on the spot. or by someone telling me his view : for instance coming from work to his home town by the Ocean side by a nice Sunset…
It is there that I had the chance to travel to many countries: I skeched pen and ink, water colors….BERMUDA, SCOTLAND, IRELAND, NORWAY, GERMANY, FRANCE, SARDAINE,AUSTRIA, HOLLANDE, GIBRALTOR…
TODAY I SKETCHED MANY BUILDINGS IN OTTOWA, SPECIALLY OLD HOUSES, THE RIDEAU Canal.

From Randy Brock to Batman, protesters from all 14 counties came to Montpelier waging war on large-scale wind.
"I hope that the governor wakes up and directs the Public Service Board and the Legislature to have a moratorium on wind development," said Lisa Wright Garcia of West Rutland.
A wind moratorium is something Randy Brock worked on, but couldn't win support for, this past legislative session.
"The question in my mind with the dangers and also the economics that don't make a lot of sense whether that's the right thing for Vermont," said Brock, Republican for Vt. governor.
It's in the building across the street where one must go to get a certificate of public good. The protesters played off that, issuing the governor a certificate of public harm.
Both sides of this issue argue about the environmental and economic impacts these turbine projects have. The administration will say it's cost effective and sustainable; protesters argue we don't know the full extent of the damage these projects will cause, and many just don't like the look of them.
"These impacts are here-- they're right now and we need to stop the building today and wait to figure out what we can do about these impacts," said Luke Snelling of Energize Vermont.
But Public Service Commissioner Liz Miller says there's no reason they can't evaluate improvements now without a moratorium. Despite protestors' arguments that 14 projects of this nature are under way, she says not one is pending Public Service Board approval; they're still in the planning stages.
"Our process is working. Now it's just a question of whether there are things that can be done to increase what is already, I think, a high level of public acceptance," Miller said.
She adds not only is large-scale wind the cheapest renewable option, but it's contributing as much as in-state hydro to the electric grid.
"Sheffield has contributed to the grid the amount of power equivalent to the Burlington residential load," Miller said.
Still, after hours outside his office the group hand-delivered their message to the governor's staff, refusing to back down until they know no more turbines will be put up.
Commissioner Miller spent the day touring the Sheffield wind project and was not available to speak in person. She says the best option for renewable energy is a mix of projects ranging in size.

An iconic New Orleans band known for creating funk is nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The Meters, the creation of keyboard player and vocalist Art Neville in the 1960's, is on a list of hopefuls for the third time.
Bass player George Porter still clings to his New Orleans roots. "I come in here and have breakfast a lot of the time," said Porter as he sat down for eggs at Anita's in Mid-City. "I grew up in this neighborhood."
The Meters' funky urban sound is born from the streets of the city.
Guitarist Leo Nocentelli and drummer Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste round out the group, which meshed in 1966 and never looked back.
"The Meters are the progenitors of funk along with people like James Brown," said Jan Ramsey editor of OffBeat Magazine. "There are bands now that would not exist without people like The Meters. I'm talking bands like Galactic and Widespread Panic."
Porter says a lot of the group's music is being heard through other jam groups and it's keeping the music alive.
This is the third time The Meters have been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "The way you get into the Hall of Fame is you're voted on by 600 members of the hall, but this year they've opened it up to a fan base," Ramsey said.

In her continuing search for ratings for her OWN cable channel, Oprah Winfrey has confirmed, (via her Twitter account) that she will be interviewing Rihanna in August for an upcoming episode of her show Oprah's Next Chapter.
However, considering her recent two-part interview with the Kardashsians wasn't the big audience grabber that it was hoped to be, there's no reason to really believe that her Rihanna interview will do any better.
Which brings up the question: why can't OWN get any traction with viewers? Possibly because the network has no personality. Just calling it the Oprah Winfrey Network and expecting people to show up simply because of that isn't enough.
Besides, the other big problem it's got is that it's rather late in the game. If the goal of OWN is to attract mainly women viewers, then there are penty of cable networks that already do that, like Lifetime, Oxygen and even VH-1 to a certain extent.
Compared to those networks, OWN is a distant also-ran. It has to be unique, to find that special niche that isn't being served, giving them something that they can't get anyhwere else.
What that is, they will have to figure out on their own and quickly too.
nanci | August 15, 2012 4:50 PM
why rhianna on with talking about chris all over again, I mean she already milked this story to the max, and why is she crying, she already went back with him numerous times, so I dont understand what her problem is, he has a girlfriend, and rhianna needs to stop her whining and complaining.
James Evans from the Cabrini-Green | June 27, 2012 1:28 AM
A "special niche" that Oprah *could* tap into with specific programming would be the Very under-served crowd not necessarily entertained by Tyler Perry. But that's not going to happen, is it.
Langston | June 26, 2012 4:49 PM
For anyone who actually watches the network on the regular, OWN's Sunday programming, which is when her Next Chapter normally airs, is often awe-inspiring television. The network has gotten high marks from critics for much of its programming and it is definitely growing in viewership. This is still a very young network, so it simply takes time to grow a loyal, consistent audience base. The main problem is really that the launch of OWN was so huge, from a hype and financial investment standpoint, that it was really set up for failure. However, from the standpoint of quality, the network is winning, and has a recent Emmy win to prove it. Hopefully, the Discovery executives will remain patient and give it time to prosper.

News: Common Confirms Face-To-Face Drake Showdown, "I Gave Him A Pound" [Video]
Friday, Feb 24, 2012 1:50PM
After weeks of speculated reports, rap veteran Common has confirmed his face-to-face conversation with Young Money's Drake at this month's 54th annual Grammy Awards ceremony.
Despite initial reports claiming blows were exchanged, Common said they finally ironed matters out.
"We had a talk, we had a conversation. It was a face-to-face, man-to-man, a positive thing. It was a good conversation. I've learned to respect him even more," Common explained in an interview. "I already thought he was a talented guy, but just from the conversation we had, I hold even more respect for him. We saw each other and the conversation was initiated. It was just a respectful conversation that needed to be had, so he knew that I'm not at him trying to destroy him as a human being. It was a hip-hop battle to me. I had to put all of those things into hip-hop -- I gave him a pound, gave him a boom and it was all love." (The Real Cabbie)
A few days ago, reports hit the Internet claiming the two had a peaceful conversation at the awards show.
Hip-Hop Wired has learned that Common and Drake actually squashed their beef at the Grammys, clearing up previous reports that the two rappers almost got into a violent altercation. Apparently, both Drake and Common's entourages happened to be in the same area at the end of the Grammy red carpet, near where artists were being distributed their VIP credentials to enter the Staples Center, according to a source in the latter's camp. Common felt it was awkward for two men that had exchanged words in song to be in the same vicinity without saying anything to each other. With the two eyeballing each other intensely, Common asked Drake, "What's up?" Drake responded with a "What's up?" of his own, and Common tried to approach him with the intent of speaking to the Toronto rapper one on one. (Hip Hop Wired)
Last week, initial reports suggested tensions were high when the face-off took place.
Drake and Common's beef made its way to the Grammy Awards, according to several reports. According to MediaTakeOut's "reliable insider," the feuding rappers got into a brief "fist fight" backstage after exchanging words. After, "plainclothes police" reportedly walked Common back to his seat. Publicist Robert Santini of PKM*BNC tweeted about the alleged event on Sunday night, writing, "@drake and @common had an altercation backstage & @liltunechi" -- the handle of Lil Wayne, Drake's label mate -- "had to intervene. This is getting out of hand." Hours earlier, Questlove tweeted an ambiguous remark on the two's initial real-world meeting on Sunday. "Uh. Drizzy & Com are seeing each other for first time. No comment," he wrote. (Billboard)
The same day, Common officially announced their beef was a wrap.
"It was all in the honor of hip-hop, it's kind of over now. It's over. So, you know, it was all in the honor of hip-hop," Common told hip-hop personality Toure. "He said some things to me, so I had to say some things back. I wouldn't say [he] started it, but I knew I heard something said that I felt like it was directed toward me so, you know, I addressed it. That's all. But thank God we were able to move forward from it and all is good. We're all emcees and no matter what your age, when you step in the ring -- when you see basketball players playing, they don't be like, 'Well, this guy's [small],' and basically if you're playing against me or you're challenging me at some point, I'm an emcee, I like doing that, I like emceeing. I love it. That's what I go for." (FUSE)

Took some clients to St John's for lunch and, having consciously avoided the place for over a decade, was pleasantly surprised. The food was unfussy, unpretentious and, most important, very tasty.
The decor is a very claming all white. Nothing flashy at all. Tables are appropriately spaced and service was efficient. The food was very good and, as I understand that the menu changes daily, I will not go into any detail as to what we had.
A thoroughly enjoyable experience at a reasonable price (including wine). I will be returning.

Under ideal circumstances, it would have taken an incredible team-performance for Cal to go on the road to upset the #21 Runnin' Rebels. UNLV is exactly the type of match-up that the Bears have struggled with this year; a deep, experienced team with several multi-dimensional athletes who excel in an uptempo game.
Having Richard Solomon out with a stress fracture and dealing with four starters slowed by the flu would certainly qualify as less than ideal.
In an effort to match up with the Rebels' quickness, Monty opted to start a four-guard lineup putting Cobbs, Smith, Jorge, and Crabbe with Kamp in the middle.
For a brief moment, it looked like the Bears were going to make a game of it as they managed a 5-2 lead thanks to a Kamp hook and a Smith 3. But it was quickly apparent that Cal had trouble matching up with the taller and more athletic Rebels.
The two teams exchanged blows back and forth for several minutes. Cal tried to work it inside to Kamp and Kravish while UNLV relied on dribble penetration. It was still anyone's game with 13 to play. But then, the Rebels' depth and the tempo of the game started to wear down the Bears. While UNLV's second unit came in and continued the onslaught, Cal started to struggle moving the ball on offense. Within the span of two minutes, an even game became a 7-pt UNLV advantage.
With Crabbe unable to hit from the outside, the Rebels were able to collapse inside and play the passing lanes. Although Kamp battled gamely in the paint, he had trouble finishing over the taller UNLV post players. And when Kravish went out with two early fouls, Cal's depth issues forced Monty to bring Bak off the bench.
A missed rotation by Bak was followed by a blown layup, and this four point swing fueled a 13-2 run that gave the Rebels a 38-22 lead with minutes to play.
The Bears tried to counter-punch, but they kept turning it over, missing layups, and left critical points at the free throw line. UNLV poured it on, and built the lead up to 20 by halftime, 46-26.
There aren't a whole lot of adjustments to make when your team shoots 36% to the other team's 60%. And the second half was more of the same. With Jorge and Crabbe continuing to struggle, Cal wasn't able to muster the firepower to chip away at UNVL's advantage. The lead hovered around 20 for several minutes, and ultimately grew to as much as 25. Even when the Bears were able to get stops, they had trouble giving up offensive boards.
But you know that a team lead by Jorge Gutierrez and Harper Kamp is never going to give up. Despite running on fumes, Cal mounted a furious rally and put-together an 13-0 run to cut the lead to 13 with minutes to play. Unfortunately, the final outcome was never really in doubt, and the buzzer finally sounded on an 85-68 loss.
Justin Cobbs was one of the few glimmers of hope for the Bears. He played with poise and confidence en route to a team-high 20 points. Kamp was over-matched in the post as Cal's lone big, but fought his way to a near double-double with 12 and 9 boards.
In an interesting decision, Coach Montgomery decided to burn Christian Behrens' blueshirt year and inserted him into the game with 12+ minutes to play in the second half.
This either means that:
1) Monty thinks that Behrens has developed enough to help the team immediately.
2) Richard Solomon's stress fracture might be have a worse prognosis than was previously feared.
3) Monty has resigned himself that Bak and Thurman simply aren't going to provide the bench production needed to be competition in conference play.
4) Some combination of the above.
It would have been a tough game even at full-strength. There's not much to do now but get healthy and get ready for the conference opener.
Coach John Montgomery's tweet summed up the team's attitude nicely,
"Regardless of our 4 starters battling the flu this week & missing Solomon we've got to go get better & mentally tougher on the road #noexcuses"
Next up, the dysfunctional UCLA Bruins are a'comin' to town. Rumor has it that they've been naughty. Get your coal ready.
Go Bears!

After the sun goes down, take advantage of the dark -- and bring the outdoorsy, adventurous fun of summer camp home for a night -- with a game in which silence is key.
One player (the guard) sits on the ground, blindfolded, with several sticks -- one for each of the other players -- placed in front of her. The other players (the sneakers) sit about 10 feet away.
Once everyone is settled, the sneakers must creep quietly up to the guard and try to grab a stick. If the guard hears a sneaker coming, she points in the direction of the sound; if she points directly at a player, that player is out. The guard can also wave her hands around as the players approach; whoever she touches is out. The game ends when all the sticks have been snagged or all of the sneakers are out.

CASTLETON, Vt.-- Add Castleton State College to the list of communities affected by last month's Tropical Storm Irene. The bottom floor of the Spartans Athletic Complex was overtaken by flood waters. After bursting through the doors of the building, the water did it's damage in just under an hour. Most of the sports equipment and weight machines have to be replaced. The Football Team's locker room was completely destroyed.
The following day, the Spartans Football players and coaches along with other members of the community helped with the clean-up. The Castleton players say the experience brought them closer together. The Athletic Department hopes to have the team's locker room ready to go by the home opener on Saturday, September 24th.

CFB Compu-Picks Ratings, Week Eleven
... 4) After last week's games, one team has jumped to the forefront of the ratings: the Oregon Ducks, despite their very close win at Cal. The Cal game actually docked their rating a small amount, but they had a number of results which boosted their schedule for prior opponents, such as Tennessee's big win over Ole Miss, Wazzu's big win at Oregon St (the Ducks have already played the Cougars but haven't yet played the Beavers), and USC's upset at Arizona (ditto). And the net effect was positive, boosting their rating by a fair bit. Of course, the flip side of it was that TCU just had their worst game of the year against SD St, which dropped the Frogs off of the pace that Oregon has been setting. Essentially, the Ducks have played an absolutely brutal schedule this year and have basically dominated it, with a couple close games but mainly a whole bunch of ass-kicking.

Piazza Della Minerva
This piazza is situated in front of the church of Santa Maria Sopra Minerva. It is five minutes away from the pantheon.
It has an obelisk, which is 5.47 metres tall. This includes the obelisk itself, the elephant, the pedestal and the four- step basement. It is made of red granite. Originally this obelisk was a part of a pair commissioned by the pharaoh Apries at Sais. The other one is now in Urbino, a small Italian town.
It is not known how this obelisk reached Rome. However after being brought to Rome it stood outside the temple of Isis. It was found beneath the ruins of the temple in the monastery garden next to Santa Maria Sopra Minerva. In 1655 the Dominican monks discovered it. Pope Alexander VII (Chigi) decided to re-erect it in front of Chiesa di Santa Maria Sopra Minerva. The obelisk was placed on the back of a sculpted elephant. The official ceremony was held on July 11, 1667 and the Pope was unable to attend it as he had passed away on May
22, 1667. The elephant was made of marble and was designed by Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini. Ercole Ferrata executed the sculpture. Although the obelisk is small it is very lovely and has inspiring inscriptions carved on its surface.
There is an inscription dictated by the Pope himself. It says 'He who sees the carved symbols on the obelisk of wise Egypt borne by the elephant, the strongest of all animals, will understand that indeed it is a robust mind which sustains solid wisdom".
Santa Maria Sopra Minerva is the only gothic style church in Rome with gothic stained glass windows. The ceiling is painted in blue with golden stars. It is the home of one of Michel Angelo's earlier works. This is the sculpture of Jesus the Redeemer with his cross. The remains of St. Catherine of Siena are interred here. Fra Angelico is also buried here. There is also a beautiful fresco representing the life of Thomas Aquinas.
A visit to this piazza is indeed an experience of the intermingling of past cultures with the day-to-day life in modern Rome.

The athletic programs run year-round and include wheelchair basketball, soccer, hockey, cycling, golf, swimming and more . Equipment is available to borrow for a nominal fee, such as: handcycles, sport wheelchairs, bi-ski, mono-skis, and bowling equipment. Social outings include movies, dinners, or concerts.
A membership fee of $35 per year is requested to help offset program and equipment costs. Members receive reduced rates on activities, special events and equipment loans, as well as a subscription to the monthly newsletter.
Your gifts to this program will allow us to keep membership costs low and still continue to offer a full calendar of sports and recreation for our members. Here is just one example of how your gift will help:
Martin V., who uses a wheelchair, feels like he is back in the mainstream now that he can use a special bicycle that he can peddle with his hands. "The thing people don't think about is that when you have a disability you are excluded."
Two hand cycles, which are three-wheeled bicycles with low seats and raised peddles for the hands were recently donated by the Agawam Lions Club for Disability Resources to lend out to local people like Martin who have disabilities that prevent them from peddling with their legs.
Martin frequently pedals one of these adaptive bicycles along the section of the Norwottuck Rail Trail that goes through Hadley. "It's great," he said. "People get a kick out of sharing the bike path. People are always excited to see something different."

China Unicom and Apple are stepping forward to aggressively promote the new iPhone for China. In mid November, a major new iPhone advertising campaign was launched across China. The iPhone ad promotions include billboard, print and television. Four new iPhone TV ads are now appearing in major Chinese provinces. During my current China travels, I've also seen several full page ads for iPhone in popular Chinese periodicals.
Nice to see that China Unicom is promoting localized apps in this television spot. Something I'd like to see more of in the signage at Wo Stores and other retail outlets in China. Watch all of the new China iPhone television ads on Apple's China website > HERE
Thanks to x_trapnel and goubulibaozi for the heads up re the TV spots.

Welp, sorry for the delay guys, but here's the final result from the championship round:
Super Bowl Sunday DEF Draft Weekend 134-111
I think we all saw this coming, Super Bowl Sunday is the best thing in the NFL, voted by us. It's the closest one can get to a perfect day, especially if our Lions end up playing in the big game (hopefully really soon). I don't have much to say about it other than what's already been said by most everyone who voted for it, so I'll leave it at that. It seems like the lockout is about to be over so we won't be forced into "The Most Mediocre Thing in the NFL." I had a lot of fun doing these games with you guys for the past few weeks and it made the lockout pass a little faster. Now let's get this lockout over with! Go Lions.

When Sony Pictures and Marvel successfully rebooted the Spider-Man film franchise with The Amazing Spider-Man, they used one of the wall-crawler's most iconic villains in the The Lizard, played by award-winning actor Rhys Ifans.
Now that the sequel has begun production, the studios will be enlisting another seasoned veteran for the villain's role, as Chris Cooper steps into the shoes of Norman Osborn, a.k.a. The Green Goblin.
Cooper should be a fantastic addition to the film, as the Academy Award-winner is one of the best character actors in the game today.
Not only does Cooper carry great screen presence, but he's also shown the chops to be an incredibly memorable supporting lead, as evidenced by his work in Adaptation, Seabiscuit, Capote, Company Men and The Muppets.
Interestingly enough, this will also be Cooper's first stint in a superhero film despite his relatively long career.
With fellow Academy Award-winner Jamie Foxx slotted to play the classic Spider-Man villain Electro, it's not certain that Cooper's Osborn will develop into the Green Goblin role during a single movie, as he may be doing a two-film deal.

Research Space Triples at Virginia Campus
June 01, 2011
Over the last three years, more than 7,000 square feet of new laboratory space has been built out as new research centers are created or existing ones are relocated from GW's Foggy Bottom Campus to the GW Virginia Science and Technology Campus. These laboratories provide critical research space for new faculty in chemistry, physics, mechanical engineering, and the health sciences.
Exploration Hall, the original red brick all-purpose building, is now approximately 80 percent research space, containing the existing Earthquake Engineering and Structures Laboratory, the Center for Intelligent Systems Research with two Driving Simulator labs, the Traffic and Networks Research Laboratory, an expansion of the High Performance Computing Laboratory, and the Pharmacogenomics/Health Sciences Laboratory.
New labs in Exploration Hall include the Energy Efficiency Research Laboratory, the Nanomaterials and Nanomechanics Laboratory, and the Renewable Energy R & D Solutions Laboratory, and research components of the Center for Biomimetics and Bioinspired Engineering Lab.
The one-year old Innovation Hall, formerly the Tellabs site, now hosts the Nursing Skills and Simulation Center and the National Crash Analysis Center Vehicle Modeling Laboratory. Innovation Hall will also become home to the GW Online High School and a new center in computational biology.

Thrifty Thursday: Shopping for bargains
The Aldi super-six this week are radishes (300g), button mushrooms (200g), snack pack grapes (170g), carrots (1 Kg), Jersey Royal new potatoes (450g) and cherry tomatoes (300g). They are all 49p and the offer lasts until Wednesday 2nd July. (more…)
Thrifty Thursday: good food and style on a budget
I haven't done my shopping yet this week, I'll take a look to see what they have in Aldi later. I'm thinking about cooking a stir fry, so some diced pork would be good for that. You can do stir fry with mince, its a bit harder to eat with chopsticks though…. (more…)
Living life in a balanced way
The present and the future are connected to the past and partly determined by it. If we have prepared for the future, we will have a better future. That might mean guarding against the bad things that might happen in the future by driving carefully, taking precautions and saving for the future. We just have to find a good balance between our present and future needs, so we can enjoy both. (more…)
Thrifty Thursday: Value for money
The Aldi super-six until the 15th of January are little gem lettuce (2), cucumber, savoy cabbage, garlic (4), spring onions and celery. They are all 39p each. They are now doing super six meat offers too, click that link to see those. (more…)
Thrifty shopping to save money
This week's Super-Six at Aldi are oranges (6), apples (6), pineapple, plums (500g), conference pears (6) and kiwis (8), all at 69p each. They have lots of special buys for today and Sunday too. We have to shop around and try to save a few quid.
There is more money, but are you getting your fair share?
News from over the pond in the USA this week was that the rich have increased their wealth by around 15% in the past year. That doesn't surprise me, the rich are getting richer all over the world. Governments print more money and it disappears. Are you getting your share? Or are you even worse off?
Thrifty Thursday | Rising prices
The reason for todays picture is I'm thinking about transport. When the government in the UK does quantitative easing (printing money) commodity prices like oil go up. Oil is used for transport and gas is used for heating and making electricity; so all our basic costs go up. Prices on the stock markets have been taking a battering in the past few weeks and the Eurozone crisis has deepened; we just have to be thrifty and frugal and try to weather the storm. (more…)
Thrifty | Food and essentials
I read about the Black Country Food Bank this morning that distributes food to people who are referred by doctors or various agencies. Food banks get the food from the stock piles of the European Union and also donations. They have food stamps in the US too and I have a particular dislike for schemes that treat our citizens as charitable cases. They are necessary but in wealthy countries they make us realise that there is a deep divide between rich and poor. Many people need this food because they have to pay exorbitant council tax, television licence and even rents for social housing is taking up a large chunk of many people's income. (more…)
Thrifty Thursday | Fresh, frozen or tinned?
I find fresh fruit, vegetables and meat in the discount supermarkets but you should try outdoor markets too when you're searching for bargains. This week I found grapes at 1.25, down from 1.99 and fresh vegetables to make a chicken stew. I also bought fresh chicken on offer for 1.99 a kilo and I had 400 grams of diced lean pork for just 1.34. The pork will make a nice stir fry later if I add rice, bean sprouts, soy sauce and 5 spice! I'll add some finely chopped red onion to my stir fry too. I bought a basil plant that I now keep on my windowsill that adds a fresh flavour to soups and stews now. (more…)
Thrifty Thursday | Christmas Shopping
The goodies in the picture were mostly bought last weekend. I have been to Lidl, Aldi and Asda this week. The thing that really bugs me is not being able to afford what you need when you're out, especially if it's a special occasion. Like not being able to buy what you need on a day out or on holiday. If you're thrifty you can always afford what you need. (more…)
A Sunday Ramble
Brunswick Park
I took this photograph in Brunswick Park, yesterday afternoon. It's still a nice park despite the alterations over the years. I like the colours in this photograph as the leaves on the trees change to Autumn colours. You can find out more about Brunswick park and Wednesbury on Wikipedia. (more…)
Thrifty Thursday 17
We are into Autumn now and the colours of nature are changing; it's getting cold! It was just 3C this morning and so decidedly chilly. Public buildings in the UK usually put heating on at the beginning of October but I was trying to delay until we change the clocks from British summer time back to GMT. I have insulation and draught proofing. I will probably save some energy by not getting up so early too! My contract ends this month with my energy supplier and so I can try to get a switch to a better tariff. (more…)
Frugal Friday | Cooking
Waste not want not
I was reading how many billions of pounds people waste by throwing away food. The meal in the picture was made from left over boiled potato fried to golden brown and I added some veggies and a chicken drumstick. Very frugal, quick, easy and delicious. I wish I had browned that chicken drumstick a little more though… (more…)
Thrifty Thursday 6
Colourful food
I've used my photograph of colourful chicken and chips again to remind you to buy colourful food when shopping this week. Broccoli and carrots are loaded with vitamins and you should also look out for colourful fruits too. At Asda (UK equivalent of Wal-Mart) this week the bananas and apples seem a bargain, choose the Smart price ones. I compared fresh vegetables with frozen and the frozen looked cheaper until I checked the fresh smart price ones and they were cheaper still. The potatoes were all different prices but the Smart Price British potatoes at just over 38p a kilogram were the cheapest. Check prices by the kilogram as a guide. According to their website Asda has around 30 different types of potato and over 200 products related to potatoes! I have to admit those chips in the photograph were oven chips and done with Asda's own crinkle cut oven chips. (more…)
Need or Greed…
You know how it is… You're sitting in your cave and you wonder for a moment if you wouldn't be better off down the valley living in a hut. They do have windows, but they are more draughty. The village with the huts also have the woods close by and a ready supply of logs and things. We do have water though and that is essential. The village people have a long walk several times a day for water. We have a long walk for logs to keep warm and of course all the fauna and flora of the woodland. I am glad we have water… (more…)
Frugal Friday
I'm trying to save and make money as usual. Yesterday was a good day for making it; today I'll try to save a little on shopping. I checked out prices at the local supermarket last night and I eat a lot of chicken so checked out the prices. The halal chicken drumsticks were the cheapest at £2.87 per kilogram; the most expensive was £3.84 a Kg. Strangely enough the price has changed today and the cheapest is now; £2.42 a kg and that is frozen as opposed to fresh. I asked my neighbour to get me a bag of those; I didn't fancy halal; I thought it may be imported and more likely to have salmonella in it. I read that chickens in this country are mostly vaccinated against salmonella and the eggs with a lion printed on them are salmonella free; I had some of those the other day. The most frugal meal is egg and chips with salad or vegetables; it tastes good and costs less than a £1.00. I cooked soup last night and that is waiting in the fridge for me to heat it up for lunch; it has loads of chicken and vegetables in and I suppose it's more like a stew. It is very frugal anyway. I think tomorrow, I may do stir fried rice with chicken and vegetables. I had sardines, chips, broccoli and salad last night. The oily fish is loaded with vitamins and goodies that are essential to good health. Incidentally, the lecithin in eggs impedes the absorption of cholesterol which is handy.
Learning to cook a decent meal isn't difficult; it ain't rocket science! It can save you a fortune though and be a lot healthier than eating out. The fries that are served in many fast food places are loaded with fat; it is usually vegetable in origin and so low cholesterol but high in calories. I cooked my super soup yesterday; quite easily. I fried my chicken in a little sunflower oil, added some diced potato and then just kept adding vegetables. I use whatever I have but like to add white cabbage, a tin of carrots, frozen broccoli and I also added some frozen mixed vegetables. The mixed vegetables were peas, carrots, green beans and sweet corn. Then the herbs are added; thyme, marjoram, sage, parsley, oregano and basil; they come mixed and I just add a couple of heaped teaspoons. To bring out the flavour I add tomato puree, then pour on chicken or vegetable stock; cook it for an hour topping up with stock occasionally and that's it. I nearly forgot add salt and black pepper to taste. It is loaded with vitamins and balanced so there are fat soluble vitamins and water soluble vitamins. It also has tryptophan to help you cope with the stress and depress of modern life. To absorb the tryptophan you need fructose but that is in the potato and other veggies. The egg and chips is loaded with tryptophan; writers need all the brain food we can get. If you really want to look after your brain and nervous system eat sardines or some other oily fish at least once a week and of course 5 portions of fruit and veggies a day.
Check for prices online
At my local supermarket here in England (a part of Wal-Mart) I found apples were £1 for a bag containing around 700g. They say 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away' and apples have some good vitamins in a of course fructose. The root vegetable pack is ideal for soups, stews and casseroles and that was £1.00 too for 1Kg of veggies. Iceberg lettuce wasn't the cheapest but it keeps well and tastes delicious and a side salad is so healthy! Of course when people are in hospital it's traditional to take grapes. They were nearly £5 a Kg but buy two packs and they were 20% off so if you have a friend who needs a pack, you can save 20% – form a little personal co-operative!
6 cans of chopped tomatoes was also on special offer and so was tomato ketchup and so it's worth stocking up while they are on offer. I had tinned carrots for my super soup!
More Frugal Friday tips coming soon; please comment…

(WMC-TV) - The Shelby County Commission is deadlocked on the new property tax rate. But, the debate that yielded no result was, nonetheless, spirited.
The mayor's $4.38 property tax rate failed last week. A commission committee met Wednesday to compromise, but the issue remains in a state of purgatory.
The meeting began with Commissioner Terry Roland's proposal to cut $4.6 million from the county budget to ease the tax hike.
"We could cut $2.3 million from county government and $2.3 million from schools," said Roland.
"The school system is cut to the marrow. It's passed the bone," said Commissioner Melvin Burgess. "$19 million were cut from the central office. We're talking about 300 jobs of people we laid off. How much can the schools take?"
The mayor said the law will not allow more school cuts.
"We really are not empowered to take money back from the schools," said Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell.
Commissioner Walter Bailey called commissioners against the tax hike "obstructionists".
"Whimsicalness and capriciousness is what it is," he said. "Which just borders on irresponsibility."
"It's probably pretty easy to pontificate from your gated community on the river, telling the rest of the county to suck it up in their homes and suck it up in their businesses and pay more taxes," said Commissioner Wyatt Bunkner.
The commission voted down Roland's $4.32 tax rate proposal.
"This is our fourth committee meeting and three commission meetings," added Commissioner Steve Basar.
Another proposal on a $4.02 tax rate failed. Then, the original $4.38 tax rate failed again. The two-hour debate ended with no resolution.
Commissioners must set the tax rate no later than the third Monday in July. They may ask the state for an extension.

- The mist exits at 104° Fahrenheit and helps to prevent the room temperature from falling and keeps the water cleaner
- Includes demineralization cartridge and Hydro Stick
- Humidifier with 1.8-gallon transparent water tank is for rooms up to 650 square feet

- Measures approximately 15" L x 8 3/4" W x 15 1/2" H.
- UL listed
- Model # AOS7135
We inhale over 10,000 breaths of air every day. Essential to our quality of life is the quality of the air that we breathe. Good indoor air is properly humidified air. As the temperature goes down outdoors, the relative humidity drops indoors, often to a level that is harmful to your wellbeing. Dry air dries out your body. When your eyes, nose, or throat become dry, you become more vulnerable to illness.
For all these reasons, we are proud to introduce the new, state-of-the-art Air-O-Swiss 7135 Digital Ultrasonic Humidifier. Suitable for rooms up to 600 square feet, the Air-O-Swiss 7135 is capable of delivering up to three and a half gallons of moisture per day.
But how does an ultrasonic humidifier actually work? First, ordinary tap water placed in the reservoir flows through a replaceable demineralization cartridge, which purifies and softens the water. The Air-O-Swiss tri-band microbial protection system defends you and your humidifier from unwanted microbial growth. Silver ions, heat, and ultrasonic vibration create a unique and effective combination in maintaining performance.
The cornerstone of our protection system is Air-O-Swiss's patented ionic silver stick, which protects the reservoir water using the proven antimicrobial qualities of silver. Silver ions are released into the water, which keeps the water and the moisture added to your room clean and safe. Best of all, the ionic silver stick is good for one year and requires no power to function. Finally, a four-step, whisper-quiet fan blows the mist into your room, where it instantly evaporates.
Simple and easy to use, the Air-O-Swiss Advanced Ultrasonic Humidifier utilizes the latest in digital technology. When the Air-O-Swiss 7135 is turned on, it is set to the auto mode. This function, along with the sleep mode function, utilizes Air-O-Swiss's intelligent temperature compensation technology. One unique aspect of the intelligent temperature compensation technology is the ability to measure humidity with relation to room temperature and to automatically take corrective action when conditions change.
The 7135 has a built-in digital hygrostat. This allows you to set the specific humidity level you desire and provides you needed information on the current humidity level in your room. Additional features allow you to choose warm mist or cool. When the water tank empties, the Air-O-Swiss 7135 automatically shuts down. And the Air-O-Swiss 7135's cleaning function reminds you to clean and maintain your humidifier on a regular basis.
Prepare yourself and your family for the dry air season. Protect your health and enhance your comfort. Backed by 50-plus years of innovation, technology, and customer experience. Buy the Ultrasonic Humidifier 7135 from Air-O-Swiss.

A judge has sentenced a northwest Ohio woman to five years in prison for raping a 6-year-old girl in 2005.
Trisha Steele had pleaded guilty to one count of rape in a deal with prosecutors that included her testifying against her former boyfriend and co-defendant. She was sentenced in Lima Thursday.
Her co-defendant, 38-year-old William Purdy, was convicted last month of six child rape charges and will be sentenced later. He could face up to life in prison.
The Lima News reports that Steele apologized in court Thursday. The victim's mother was in court but did not speak.

Don't be surprised this weekend if you head out to the Bridge to the Beach along the Chambers Bay waterfront and can't find your lock of love.
Roughly 100 padlocks that had hung at the end of the bridge are now heaped in buckets in Pierce County's possession after the rows of cable holding them broke.
Some of the locks fell into the water below, and county parks and recreation staff isn't going in after them, said county spokesman Hunter George.
The rest will wait for county officials to decide their fate.
Dozens of other locks still hang at the scenic spot in University Place, scattered along the length of the bridge.
Parks officials learned of the broken cable Friday morning after someone called to report it. By afternoon the missing rows had been replaced, but the locks weren't returned to their suspended location above the shoreline.
As reported in The News Tribune earlier this week, the weight of roughly 90 locks had caused the top cable at the end of the bridge to sag. But county staff think someone ripped the cable from the bridge on purpose. Several rows of cable were missing when county parks staff went out there to repair the damage, George said.
For now, the locks that fell will remain in buckets in the care of Pierce County. Engineers will work to find a solution so that couples can continue the tradition of sealing their love with a lock and throwing away the key.
The county hopes to find a way to transfer the locks to stable rails that won't sag and compromise bridge safety. It's unknown when the locks will be returned to the waterfront.
