Moneyfacts.co.uk Best Buys show the best products chosen by our independent experts. Where we have been able to we have also provided a link for you to open an account today. Products shown with a yellow background are sponsored products.
The main reason you might want to have your interest paid monthly is to use this interest to top up your monthly income. Alternatively, some people like to see interest applied to their account more regularly, rather than every year, so that they have an appreciation of how their savings are growing.
Not all savings accounts and cash ISAs offer the option to pay you interest monthly. This best buy table shows the best variable rate accounts that do, with fixed rate monthly accounts and cash ISAs available on our whole market savings search.
Most monthly interest savings accounts offer the option to either have your interest kept in the account (where it then benefits from compound interest and helps to grow your savings pot), or to have it paid into a separate account, such as your bank account where you can make use of it in your day-to-day finances.
Some monthly interest accounts may only allow the interest to be paid to a separate account so watch out for this.

#1960267 Steven Shaw
Posted by Mayhaw Man on 10 April 2014 - 04:42 PM
I have spent the majority of my day thinking about Steven and the effects that my friendship with him had on my life. Steven Shaw changed my life. He was one of the most giving people that I have ever encountered and I am blessed to have known him. My sympathies and thoughts go to Ellen and P.J.
Though I haven't posted here in years, today I will and it's gonna be a long one because eGullet is where I think that this should go. I used to get alot of crap from Steven about starting fights and angry conversations on eGullet just because instead of typing a post about cake or something, I would write a long story with a question attached. Fights ensued. I have to admit, now, that I did kind of enjoy my first shot at being an erudite, albeit electronic, redneck.
I don't expect a battle from this one. I really miss the opportunity that I will never have again.
A long time ago my wife and my two boys were on their way home from Western N.C. where the boys had been at camp. In New Orleans there was a minor weather event (most of you would call it a hurricane) and driving into it seemed kinda stupid. It was the Fourth of July weekend and she elected to overnight with the boys in Memphis. She called and asked me if I would look up a few spots to eat that were great and not filled with tourists (young people-smart phones did not exist 15 years ago). I started bumping around on the internet, found her a hotel, a good list of dining options and fireworks times. Good dad.
The source that I ended up using was eGullet. I had never seen a food site or anything close to it. Suddenly, I realized that there were other people, all over the world, who wanted to talk about how to cook, where to eat, what they loved and what they hated. Lord, Thank You, I am home!
A couple of months later, after posting alot, I get a call from this guy in NY that I had enjoyed sparring with. Steven called (remember when people actually talked on phones?) and asked if I would be interested in meeting with his partner, Jason Perlow, who was going to be in New Orleans for a long weekend. I was a bit taken aback, given that I had never met a "virtual friend" in the then new blog universe and kind of mumbled an "ok" thinking that it would just take a few minutes. I was wrong. Way wrong. Turned out that nothing with Jason and his wife Rachel was quick...ever.We spent time doing things in New Orleans and then, at their insistence, took a long day drive through South Louisiana. We made alot of stops that day while traveling and Jason was either on the phone or texting Steven constantly. Though I directed a really bad stop to Poche's meat market (sorry Rachel, I swear that I said "take a right") we ended up becoming fast friends. By the end of the day, I put together what all of the texting was about. Steven and Jason asked me to take over the Louisiana board on eGullet. I was pretty fired up and immediately took the job. Little did I know that this one choice would change my entire life.
At the time, I was in temporary retirement from running breweries and working a weird job. I was a manager at an incall center and part of that job was spending all day on the net. I spent most of my time doing eGullet stuff instead of work stuff (how much time can you watch people wearing headsets selling Total Gyms and not try to find something else to do?). A rather overzealous tech person figured this out after awhile (thanks to an article that Todd Price wrote for Gambit about local food blogging-Thanks Todd!) and I got waxed in one fell swoop.
I wrote a supervisor only email to my eGullet colleagues about the dangers of farting around at work and, not an hour later, Steven called with a job lead for me in New Orleans that involved food and the internet. Bingo! I applied and, thanks to rec from Steven, was immediately hired. While it turned out this was kind of a weird company, I loved everything about it. Hell, they were paying me to do stuff like play on eGullet!
Not long after that event, I had to go to NY for the Fancy Food Show in New York and Steven asked me out to dinner. Of course I said yes. I was thinking Eleven Mad Park or somewhere else pretty swell. I was wrong. He asked me to meet him at Tavern on the Green. What the hell? A tourist trap? I didn't comment and showed up on time. What transpired changed alot of things in my life and it was all thanks to Steven.
We met at the front door and I was surprised that he had a guest with him. Because of Steven's influence and my gift at using the proper fork for any given course, I ended up with a regular column in a national magazine. The woman that he had brought with him was one of the owners of a niche publication called Chile Pepper magazine and he was setting me up to write pieces about the Deep South for them (Deep South because they weren't interested in just NOLA). He was of the opinion that I should write more and, as opposed to eGullet, actually get paid for it. It was, absolutely, the largest compliment that I have ever been paid.
Through that one, very bad, dinner I ended up getting all kinds of work in a broad variety of publications. Some paid well, some not, but it sure beat the hell out of arguing about Cake vs. Pie (cake wins, everytime).
Thanks to the ability to travel to NY over the years I regularly got to do things with Steven and it was always a pleasure as well as an educational experience.
I'm dragging on, because I can't help myself, but my point is that I have gotten jobs and done things that I NEVER would have been able to do without his interest, friendship and stewardship. I am not in this boat alone. He helped many, many people over the years just because he wanted to and because he could. Most of all, I made friends through this that I will treasure forever. For this I owe him more than could ever be repaid if he had lived to be 100 years old.
Thanks, Steven. I hope that you have a fast connection and bottomless memory where you are. We all miss you and I think that a number of us are sorry that we never expressed it sooner.
Rest well, my friend.
Mayhaw Man
p.s.-I also had an editor at eGullet that taught me alot about writing. I wish she had a shot at this drivel that is being driven by sadness, wonder, happiness and Pappy's. Thanks, Mags. You are an awesome force, especially for a Northern type.

It's tragically unfortunate that Steven is unable to read all of the warm sentiments written here and elsewhere. It is too late for that, but it is not too late for Jason Perlow, who co-founded and built eGullet with Steven and for all of the other people who helped build this community to read the descriptions of what eGullet has meant to all of us. To Jason, Dave, Chris and the many others who built, maintained and grew this site that allowed so many relationships and people to flourish, a great heartfelt THANK YOU!
Like for many others, this thread has brought back many wonderful memories. Thank you all for those!

So Saturday, it was my anniversary. What do Miss A and i do to celebrate. Host a lunch for a group of people from South Africa we never met. Well, it was Miss A's ex boss', sort of mentor family that was in town. They wanted to meet for lunch somewhere in our neighborhood. Our place is as good as any.
Wake up by 830 am and can have most of it done by, 11:30.
cheese plate:
Biscuits with honey butter:
I spent a little too much time with the butter
Then put it on a plate with a honey base and put in a hot oven for 2 minutes
mac and cheese.. The three important C's of mac and cheese..
So good
We also made a soup. And fried chicken.. and a chocolate cake
here is a shot of the chicken hours after it was fried.. it stays crunchy for the most part, in the fridge the last couple times. good picnic chicken i would say..
If i had to over analyze. that would piece of chicken, the drumstick in the front of the photo. The top meaty area was actually the side it was resting on in the fridge.. that's why it looks more flat and less textured. But, yeh, not important.

Topped with fresh mozzarella , Italian Sausage and sauteed mushrooms.
We have been having some hot days this summer. So one night we had an antipasto dinner.

Kumamoto oysters
I swore I didn't want to have to cook/clean up, but I did it anyway. I'm sitting here looking at a sink full of dirty dishes, but it was worth it :)
Cold smoked salmon, pimento cheese, caviar, oysters, shrimp and foie gras

What would you do with a spanking fresh sea bass and a live crab?
I've never considered sea bass sashimi at home. Salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring, razor clam all yes but never sea bass. But it was so fresh that I couldn't resist. I cured it kombujime style. Basically a light sprinkling of salt and sandwich between damp kombu for a couple of hours. It was excellent, just the right texture.
The crab I steamed and picked the flesh out. It was a female with a little roe that was used as a garnish to a vibrant salad of cukes, daikon, carrot, baby corn, sugar snap peas, green mango, mint, thai basil, coriander and fiery nuoc cham dressing made with birdseye chillis:

Blue wing teal season began last Saturday. Very tender and flavorful ducks, they are. One of our favorites to eat.
My husband plucked these and breasted the rest. The breasts and guts are in a bag in the fridge. I think we will fry them later this week. Please excuse the ugly pan. It's over 80 years old and my husband has a large attachment to it lol.
Marinated in Dale's, garlic and pepper and stuffed with bay leaf and onions
My husband did these on the grill. Crappy picture, sorry. I hope you can see how tender the meat is. Even the legs were good.

Anna – perfect looking Scotch eggs. I haven't made them in years. Need to remedy that.
dcarch – congratulations on your win! Not a bit surprised. Beautiful dish.
Franci – your fritters are beautiful. If you can get the flavor how you like it, you are set since your technique is obviously perfect! And those crabs were lovely. The best part of summer is crabs!
Mark – gorgeous ribs. I would much rather have had those ribs than the dinner I ate out that day.
On Saturday we had company – my aunt and her adult grandson. This dinner comes with a story. First the food. I did a sandwich buffet with sides. Mr. Kim's smoked turkey breast:
Amazing – so incredibly moist and tender.
Ham and roast beef with assorted bread/rolls:
Condiments, fixings and assorted cheeses:
Pickly stuff:
Cheesy egg noodles:
Delicate, tender and slippy. Almost nursery food, but so good!
Devilled eggs:
One of the simplest salads in the world – just iceberg with a dressing of equal parts light cream, white vinegar and sugar – but delicious. You let the dressing sit on the tossed salad for 10 minutes and somehow it transforms.
Corn pudding:
From our local grocery store, because they make it better than I ever have.
Dessert was coconut chocolate pound cake and Eton mess with lemon curd:
That's the food. Now the story. My aunt is Ted's (my stepdad – some of you will remember him) sister from England, visiting her family in Chicago. Her grandson drove her down here to visit for a few days. The dinner was in her honor. I took great pains to make the meal varied, because I knew that my cousin was a picky eater. When he visited us last year, the only things he ate were eggs, bacon and hamburgers. My aunt was supposed to be much less problematical. She was a Navy cook just after WWII and continued to cook for schools after being demobbed. Momma had spent time with her in England and said she cooked all kinds of things. When the two of them came back from the buffet table each of their plates had a single slice of meat and a slice of bread. That was ALL they ate. My aunt proceeded to say how she detested American food ( ) and when she was here couldn't wait to get home for good English food (she seemed to be talking about the quality of American ingredients, not the recipes). I confess that she ate and enjoyed both of the desserts. I was disgruntled and mortified. For the first time that I could remember someone was going to leave my house hungry. I am such a weirdo that it cast a pall over the next couple of days. Now I can see the funny side – everyone else at the table (Mr. Kim, Jessica, Momma, and a niece and her husband) looking at the almost bare plates with 'WTF' expressions, Jessica raving about every bite, my niece and nephew talking about how they are going to miss 'regular American food' during their tour of duty in Germany. And it makes a great story – all who hear it are appalled on my behalf. And, other than dinner at my house, it was truly a lovely visit and I was glad to see them both.
Sorry for the mile long post, but you are the only folks who would truly appreciate this story!

Labor Supply of Politicians
Raymond Fisman, Nikolaj A. Harmon, Emir Kamenica, Inger Munk
NBER Working Paper No. 17726
We examine the labor supply of politicians using data on Members of the European Parliament (MEPs). We exploit the introduction of a law that equalized MEPs' salaries, which had previously differed by as much as a factor of ten. Doubling an MEP's salary increases the probability of running for reelection by 23 percentage points and increases the logarithm of the number of parties that field a candidate by 29 percent of a standard deviation. A salary increase has no discernible impact on absenteeism or shirking from legislative sessions; in contrast, non-pecuniary motives, proxied by home-country corruption, substantially impact the intensive margin of labor supply. Finally, an increase in salary lowers the quality of elected MEPs, measured by the selectivity of their undergraduate institutions.

"By bringing OAuth to enterprise identity and access management systems, we are revolutionizing the way that businesses secure the integration of enterprise, partner and external applications," said Alistair Farquharson, CTO at SOA Software, SOA Software, as his company today announced SOA Software OAuth Server, described by Farquharson as "the industry's first comprehensive OAuth solution for the enterprise."
"Enterprises can use the SOA Software OAuth Server to allow their users to approve mobile, web, and desktop applications to act on their behalf and securely share private data, without the need for legally complex, risky and heavyweight mechanisms," he added.
SOA Software OAuth Server, Farquharson explained, "extends existing enterprise identity and access management systems, allowing users to use their enterprise credentials to login and control access to their data from partner and cloud applications."
Alistair Farquharson giving a General Session at Cloud Expo Silicon Valley, Nov 2012
SOA Software's OAuth Server is an enterprise authentication and authorization product. It provides a comprehensive security token server that integrates with enterprise identity and access management systems providing the latest web and API security standards including OpenId and OAuth. With the OAuth Server, businesses can publish and interact with secure data, provide a way for users to share private data between different applications, and allow users to approve applications to act on their behalf without sharing passwords.
The OAuth Server offers:
- Enterprise to cloud single-sign-on – customers, employees and partners can use their existing enterprise managed user information for single-sign-on with cloud applications
- Centrally managed access control – users can centrally manage the applications they choose to share their private data with
- Secure Mobile Identity – a way for mobile device users to securely access enterprise and cloud applications without having to share their passwords
SOA Software's OAuth Server is the first product to offer comprehensive, standards-based authentication and authorization capabilities to the enterprise. The product offers:
- Integration with most common enterprise identity systems including LDAP, Active Directory, CA SiteMinder, Oracle Access Manager, IBM TAM, RSA ClearTrust and more
- Comprehensive support for the OpenID, OAuth 1.0a and OAuth 2.0 specifications along with a wide array of other authentication and authorization specifications
- A fully brandable user experience allowing users to confidently make and manage their authorization decisions
- Built-in grant management so that users can control their own permissions
- Support for multiple providers each with its own set of resource and grant definitions, allowing the enterprise to offer a range of different OAuth services for different applications and purposes
- Guaranteed interoperability with most common systems, based on extensive lab and field interoperability testing
Pricing and Availability
SOA Software OAuth Server is available now as on-premise software and as part of SOA DSoftware's Enterprise API Platform-as-a-Service solution. The OAuth Server starts at $50k.

An interesting read from the Fabius Maximus Blog:
Our decades of experience with both parties makes this question easy to answer. Neither. They are partners, chopping at the tree of liberty from opposite sides. A harsh reality, which we avoid by seeing it only in our political opponents. The next post in this series identifies The guilty ones responsible for the loss of our liberties.

Internships provide students with the opportunity to apply theories learned in the classroom to practical field work experiences in businesses and agencies. Internships may lead to regular employment after graduation. To qualify for the internship program, students must have earned 30 credit hours and at least a 2.0 GPA and obtain approval from their faculty advisor and the Director of Career Development, who coordinates internships.
Internships may be undertaken during a College semester or during the summer. They are part of the academic course work and are measured in credit hours. To earn three credit hours, a student must complete 150 hours of internship work. For two credits, the student must complete 100 hours and for one credit the student must complete 50 hours. Based on performance in the work component and academic component that is assigned by their faculty advisors, interns receive grades of satisfactory or unsatisfactory. Students may develop their own internship sites or choose from an increasing number offered through the program. All internships have an on-site supervisor and are overseen by members of the Southern Vermont College faculty.
Students eligible to receive veterans' benefits need to be aware that internship courses are not necessarily viewed the same as other courses for Veterans Administration benefits. Internships require advance approval from the Veterans State Approval Agency of the Vermont Department of Education. As a result, there may be some delay in the receipt of the first payment of veterans' benefits for the semester.

Justices spoke supportively of that so-called diploma privilege, which dates back to 1870.
State Sen. Glenn Grothman asked what could be done to lower law student debt. He says the amount of debt students graduate with is scandalous. He suggested looking at alternative and less expensive ways to get licensed to practice law.

I always have excellent service and well maintained equipment from Cooks Corner Uhaul.
Always seems to be understaffed and busy. Wish the process could be made more efficient for customers.
Was way too expensive.. over a hundred dollars for the smallest truck for one day? Never again. We move every 6 months so I will be finding alternative means of transporting our belongings in the future.
The young lady who helped us was alert and oriented, just terrific!
Everyone was very nice!!!!
I dropped my cell phone in the truck cab! When I returned the next day, the person on duty was attentive and helpful, finding the phone for me immediately. I was able to drop off the truck on a Sunday afternoon, which saved a lot of arrangements for next day.
Truck was clean. However, Steering was loose and vehicle had a strong drift driving down the road. Battery died and required jump start. Believe the check engine light came on possibly due to battery. Engine seemed strong while driving. Overall very pleased!! Job is done...
truck was due for an oil change. windshield wipers were extreme noisy. could only run intermittenly. Very poor fuel mpg. 9 miles /gal. ugh!
Truck was late being returned, but they did a great job letting me know and compensating for the delay. They were also very flexible when I had movers not show up on planned date. They were able to change my reservation to a different size truck the next day without issue.
Service was quick and efficient, no changes needed.
Very nice people that work there! had a great experience.
There should be more customer parking. Otherwise everything was fine.
The gentlemen who helped us was very friendly and helpful.
The uhaul associate was professional, and friendly. Online reservation was very easy and convenient and made my experience good.
Lot is so small it is hard to get in and out of.
Prompt, efficient service. A little cramped for space but they seem to manage it well. I have rented at this facility before and will again.
Jeff is great! He is always courteous and professional. I will return to this location anytime I need a rental.
I will use again!
i thought that the steering on the truck was quite loose but probably what one would expect for a truck with 140,000 miles
Hire more people and cut the 20+ minute wait times down. One person is not enough.
All good. Nothing to improve.
The young lady there did not seem happy or overly helpful. No personality. I had to ask questions to get info on extra fees being charged exc. Thought she would inform me of these. Seemed more interested in getting keys and getting us out of store. Store was very cramped and not organized.
Great customer service at this location, I've used this location before and always been happy with service.
I just drafted a long rant about my ordeal, but then I figured who wants to read that. In short I will tell you what you might already know, but you reservation system stinks. I called the National U-Haul center and they told me there was a truck available, when it wasn't, then I was told only a smaller truck was available, and it wasn't until I went to my desired pick-up location that I was actually able to reserve the size truck I wanted. What a headache!

The shoes held up wonderful through the cheer season! Ordered a half size up to give room for growth and they were perfect through the end of football. Will purchase from here next year.

Love that the colors can be changed to compliment any outfit. The sole is much easier to handle for the bases in a stunt.

I purchased these shoes for a 5 year old cheerleader. Perfect for the amount of cheering a young youth squad does each week. Order one size up and you should be fine. Loved the option to change the color for the side of the shoes.

First time ordering this brand. I order for little girls and have always ordered the nike sideline which the girls loved but were just a bit too narrow for some. These are fabulous. The price and fit are great and they wear so well i ordered an additional pair for my daughter to wear in the off season. Will definitely be ordering these next season.

These shoes are very comfortable. To me, they seem to run a size large. I normally wear a size 7 but I had to return them for a 6 and the size 6 fits perfect.
recommend this shoe!

By Jessica D. (Berlin, NH)
My varsity Spirit team decided to try this shoe last year and we loved the overall comfort and grip. It worked great for my flyers and the bases. The only problem was the sizes ran a little big and we didn't have time to return, but we will be using this same shoe this year!
Great cheer shoe!

By Kristi J. (Flower Mound, TX)
I love the weight of this shoe and how they look on the field. They do run small - sometimes 2 sizes. A very good shoe at a reasonable price. I definitely recommend this product!

"Let's Talk About Relationships"By Staff Writer

Pet ownership runs far deeper than simply caring for a possession. Yes, the sheer responsibility of caring for a pet has notable benefits in and of itself. But, pets also become bona fide family members with which we establish genuine relationships - incomparable emotional bonds that can have extraordinarily positive physical and psychological impacts on humans.

Question: I recently bought my first home and I want to give it a fresh look. I can't afford major improvements like a new kitchen but I am a willing worker. What do you recommend?
It isn't only our children who need pride in who they are, in what they do, and in what they've achieved. We all do. We all must remember that there is no unimportant work in the world. It all has to be done. If someone is willing to pay us to do it, then the work, no matter how unglamorous, has value. That value entitles us to feel pride when we do the job, what-ever it is, when we do it well.
Ihad a neighbor I saw as a nasty alcoholic. Brenda would regularly sit around the kitchen table with her husband, drink, and complain. I did not find any good in her. Then she and her husband took in a young man to live with them. Mark helped the older couple around the house and stayed with them for years.

Dear Dr. Happy, I am a 29-year-old single woman. I am 5'3" tall and weigh 215 pounds. I've been able to lose weight in the past, but it always comes right back on. I get teased about my weight at work (I'm a secretary) and bullied both by friends and family. I've never had a real boyfriend. Eating is my only pleasure so, of course, the weight keeps going up. I can't stop crying.

From this day forward, turn your car into a "classroom on wheels." As Zig Ziglar says, "Enroll in Automobile University and attend full time for the rest of your career."

As the football season winds along many fans have already seen the proverbial writing on the wall - you know, the kind that says your team stinks and you're already relegated to waiting for next year.

Over the past decade, Indian restaurants in South Florida have come and gone with only a handful surviving more than a few years. In London, as I gather from various sources, "Indian" restaurants are flourishing in almost every neighborhood and the British passion for Indian, Pakistani, Kashmir delicacies remains unabated.

Really great would do it again
Awesome people to hang out with they were more like your buddy's than just a guide and instructors. Will definitely do it again.
The Bootleg Canyon zip line was a fantastic morning out ,in our group were two adults and one child. The guides were excellent and the experience, one we will remember. I would recommend this tour for people with limited amount of time wanting to do something different.
10! Great time, outstanding staff. Must do activity away from the normal Vegas strip.
I was scared. The guys were great. Helpful, good looking, and confident and capable. It was a great experience.
This trip is well recommended. We were picked up at hotel in Las Vegas on time. Everyone was very helpful and most of all very professional. We had a totally fantastic time. This is a must do trip when visiting Las Vegas.
It was awesome! Had a lot of fun.
This tour was amazing!
Absolutely fabulous!!!! Zip lining was a highlight of of Vegas trip -- never done it before and it was a blast! Super safe with awesome and entertaining guides. Want to go back and go down at sunset.
Absolutely fabulous!!!! Zip lining was a highlight of of Vegas trip -- never done it before and it was a blast! Super safe with awesome and entertaining guides. Want to go back and go down at sunset.
This zip line tour was a real highlight of our very recent holiday to the USA. The staff team were fabulous and had a great sense of humour (humor if you are American!). I was unsure whether to book this trip for myself as well as my family (husband and 18 year old daughter) as I am a middle aged woman not particularly known for a sense of adventure or co-ordination skills but I am so glad I did it. I would recommend Bootleg 100%.
Totally awesome, well worth it
Awesome! Our family and friends had tons of fun. The ziplines are long and fast, and the view is incredible ... what more could you ask for. The staff there is exceptional - from the driver that picked us up, to the girls at the desk. But most especially the guys that handle the ziplines where pros. They were funny yet extremely professional, they helped everyone relax and have a great time due to the fact that you felt totally safe with them. You could tell they enjoyed what they did.
The morning tour is the way to go with the cooler temperature, and you must be able to handle an uphill hike of about 20 mins. Also, being able to carry 20 lbs. of gear helps ... but they'll carry it for you if you can't handle it. FYI, they also offer evening, and full moon times! So call ahead if your into that.
Bottom line - Great Fun!
FANTASTIC! These guys are awesome. We were skeptical first timers. We loved it! A must do, take a break from the casino and go zipping
The zip lines were exciting and the guys who work there are great fun.

It was July 2010 and I was unemployed for two months and went to take an exam for assistance through Michigan Rehabilitation. It was on that day that I learned that I was High Functioning Autistic. The diagnoses was a huge relief because it answered a ton of questions, memories and experiences I had the first 22 years of my personal life. It also brought back memories of the struggles I had keeping up with people in class, dealing with bullies, name calling, hatred, and even teachers who would loose their cool with me in public classrooms. I had relief to know that I was not intellectually "stupid" as many would call me, or a "retard". About five years before that it was my senior year in high school, and I made a decision to "succeed" and work hard to achieve something. I earned a 4.0 grade point average for the first time ever! It meant a lot deep down. That same year I began listening to music and realized that it was a huge passion and not just playing video games thinking it was the only skill I had. I wrote and produced this song to simply say have a voice and identity. Be yourself and it will set you free no matter what disability you have, or how people act toward you.
Colossal View Of The Solar System
Colossal View Of The Solar System tells the story of a orphan child who becomes adopted by free-spirited parents and is encouraged to travel the planets at age 18. It is the year 2121 and civilization now inhabits the planets Venus to Jupiter in the solar system. The teen then forms a group called the Spacemen, who against the advice of Planetary Travelers, heads to Mercury first. There they confront a cosmic pirate gang called the Devils and manages to escape them, but become separated. They reunite on Earth and discover an ancient vault of movies and historical artifacts from the 20th century and return them to their home planet Mars. The now Spacemen leader falls in love and marries a fellow Planetary Traveler. While on a honeymoon they decide to travel to Neptune, the farthest planet from the Sun which has never been reached. The spacemen reunite and manage to outrun the Devils in orbit at Uranus and get to Neptune safely, but learn a bit more about themselves along the way after brushing with death.
The Planetary Traveler
The Planetary Traveler was inspired by documentaries I used to watch about NASA and the chapters of space travel in the 60's. I never forgot the music on those video tapes! There is a host of styles of electronic music inspired by the past, present and future. My favorite track is Blue Giant which was the first song I produced. It's a soundtrack titled in the style of a magazine cover like a guide to space travel!

Tech-Friendly: Parents: Hold off on PS4, XBox One or Wii U unless you know what the kids want
By Paul Gorski
I used to be a video gamer years ago, grew weary of it and never looked back. My teen-age son, who wishes to remain nameless, does follow the current gaming news. Even though I'm not a gamer, I had heard about the latest and greatest video game consoles: the Sony PS4 and Microsoft's XBox One, and wondered why one of these devices hadn't made it to his Christmas list.
One, he told me, they are not readily available. Many stores are out of them because they are so popular. Two, they cost quite a bit. And three, there are not many games available for them. He's so practical.
I mentioned the relatively new Nintendo Wii U and had heard they had dropped the price on those, and they were readily available. His answer, "There's a reason for that, no one wants a Wii U."
I decided to challenge my son's statement and started doing some research. It does seem that "high-end" and/or older gamers (older than 10 to 11 years of age) may not be interested in the Wii U, and sales have been so poor that Nintendo did indeed drop the price to $299. The Wii U commercials seem to feature younger children, too.
However, there are some online columnists and Nintendo fans out there who steadfastly support the Wii U as a great, all-age, family console, pointing out that the Wii U now ships with two popular games: New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Luigi. Even I recognize those names from my old gaming days.
So, what is a parent to do? My son recommends that unless your child has specifically asked for a Wii U or other console, get them another gift. Don't guess, as it may be a pricey mistake. Wait until next year to see how popular the consoles are and which new games are released. Then, make a new video game console a birthday present. Sounds like good advice to me. (And I do think he directed it at me.)
If you do get a gaming console for your child, sit down and play some games together. Recent studies indicate playing video games with your children can have a positive impact on family relationships. See: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jordanshapiro/2013/12/04/research-says-parents-and-kids-should-play-video-games-together/.
Merry Christmas!

After last week's emotionally draining, last-second win over Argonaut, the Amador JV football team was hoping to avoid a letdown as they traveled to San Andreas to face the Calaveras Redskins, a team that Amador has had difficulty with historically. However, after a season filled with big victory after big victory, Amador was brimming with confidence as they kicked the ball away to start the game.
Calaveras shook the Amador confidence immediately, completing a 35-yard sideline pass on the first play from scrimmage. The Buffalos...[Read more]
After finishing in second place in the Mother Lode League, the Amador Varsity volleyball team received the fifth seed in the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs, and drew the 12 seed, Colfax, in the first round.

Mississippi State at Alabama
These neighboring schools have played 97 times since their first meeting in 1896. Never has so much been at stake. Mississippi State is undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the nation. Alabama is 8–1 overall and 5–1 in the SEC. The winner will seize control of the SEC West race (though both teams still have significant challenges ahead) and be well-situated for a spot in the College Football Playoff. Alabama probably cannot afford a loss; the Tide simply don't have enough quality wins (even with a potential...[Read more]
