After some decades, in 1920s, a Scots inventor named John Baird patented the technology that used various transparent rods for broadcasting images to be viewed and delivered on TV sets. The back lit figures were replaced by 30-line resolution. John clarified that his patented technology was based on Nipkow's invention. He transmitted first ever televised images of moving objects, human faces and real time moving entities in the years 1924, 1925 and 1926 respectively. Baird was the first person to invent Phonovision, video recording mechanism. By using traditional audio recording mechanism, he modulated output signals of TV camera, down to audio range while capturing signals on wax audio discs. Some of his recordings stayed alive and were decoded to viewable pictures in 1990s with signal processing technologies.
In the year 1926, Hungarian engineer named Kalman Tihanyi also designed Television that showcased fully electronic display and scanning elements. This instrument used principle of the charge storage in scanning tube. And the invention was soon followed by mirror drum based TV by a Russian Inventor named Leon Theremin in 1927. Herbert Ives from the Bell Labs transferred moving images from 50 apeture disk.
Philo Farnsworth, the electronic inventor discovered earliest electronic television. He made a TV system that offered electronic scanning of display and pickup services. In year 1927, he achieved almost double resolution compared to Baird. Philo transmitted dollar sign image that comprised of around 60 horizontal lines. He displayed his invention in front of press in September 1928.
In 1938, Werner Flechsig, a German engineer disclosed his shadow mask color TV. He showcased ancestor of today's analog signal television. And in year 1939, TV was first displayed at the World Fair at New York and International Exposition at San Francisco. David Sarnoff telecasted earliest Presidential speech at World Fair.
In year 1938, TV set manufacturing was initiated by DuMont Company and in no time these sets had become standard to which all other TVs were assessed. The DuMont labs started exploring and working cathode ray mechanism in year 1931. In year 1946, the company's TV network became world's first network. This network was basically established for selling television sets.
Under the guidance of Peter Goldmark, CBA scientists produced mechanical color TV based on Baird's designs in 1940. Goldsmark showed his color TV system in 1946 to Federal Communications Commission. His set worked with the help of blue, green and red wheel spin in face of ray tube. In year 1948, around one million television sets were sold in United Stated.
Pennsylvanian mountains gave rise to cable TV that was known CATV in year 1940. Earliest color TV was commercially televised by FCC in 1953. First ever TV control known as Lazy Bones was introduced in 1950 by Zenith Corporation and it made entry in American homes in 1956.
Television has now become one of most important sources for entertainment for a lot of us. It works as a rejuvenator, companion and entertainer each day. Starting from black and whites, Television has transformed completely. 3D TV is latest edition to world of entertainment. It takes the viewer to a new world where landscapes seem realistic. This technology creates an illusion of viewing TV not just from a single angle but various angles. Equipped with infrared emitters, 3D technology TVs are offering exclusive experience to the users.
Not only in terms of viewing experience, TV has progressed in terms of looks and features too. A plethora of features are offered by latest LED TVs. Great audio and video clarity adds to the delight of viewers. The best part about these televisions is that they consume much less energy as compared to the conventional ones. Savings in electricity bills have persuaded people to invest in these televisions. Ultra thin and sleek look of this TV allows the users to adorn in any corner of the place.
Equipped with USB ports, one can easily watch movies or view other videos by connecting the device through TV. Whether it is LED or the 3D TV, TV viewing experience for the users have improved leaps and bounds. There has been remarkable improvement in the television since the time it was first launched. And the development has not stopped; there is a lot to come in near future too.

5 Cities Where Halloween Means Scary Money
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- Halloween does what it can to spread the trick-or-treating and parties across the country as fairly as possible, but some cities just get more of the treats.
Halloween is a pretty sweet time of year for Hershey (HSY), Tootsie Roll (TR) and whoever makes slutty Spongebob Squarepants costumes, but towns that know how to throw a party tend to get the most goodies. About 44% of Americans 18 and older plan to put on a costume this year, and more than 34% of all Americans plan to hit a Halloween party, according to the National Retail Federation.
That party percentage has been climbing steadily since 2005, when only 25% of Americans could commit to bobbing for apples, drinking pumpkin beer or dancing to the Thriller album. This year's party invitees include 59% of Americans 18 to 24, 50% ages 25 to 34 and 46% of Americans who make $50,000 a year or more.
That's a lot of cash to throw around during the holiday, and a handful of cities are banking on those costumed carousers and their crews to come to their towns and spend some cash. Some will let you march down their avenues with 60,000 new friends, some offer three nights of shows featuring Snoop Dogg, Soundgarden and Social Distortion and some will remind you that it's clothing optional.We put on our best mild-mannered reporter costumes and went around the country searching for Halloween party cities. We came back with candy-corn-stained teeth, a skull-crushing hangover and this collection of five holiday celebrations that bring in tons of costumed customers and pillowcases full of cash:

Classic Panton ChairPrice: $1,630.00
Design by Verner Panton, 1959/1960.
A classic piece of modern furniture, Danish designer Verner Panton spent many years thinking about how to produce a plastic chair in one piece. Together with Vitra, he came up with the first prototypes in the 1960s and the Classic Panton Chair went into production in 1967. Unlike the standard Panton Chair, the Classic Panton Chair is made of rigid expanded plastic and has a lacquered surface. Unique lines and good design make the Classic Panton Chair a solid choice for modern enthusiasts.
Available in three different colors.
Standard Delivery is Curbside. White Glove service is available at a premium and must be requested at the time of order placement. Please contact our Sales Department for rates.
Material(s): Hard foam plastic, lacquer
Dimensions: 32.75" H x 19.75" W x 23.5" D Seat Height: 16.25"
Designer: Verner Panton
Verner Panton was an inspirational and colorful personality. A unique person with a special sense of colours, shapes, light function and room.
Over the course of his career Verner Panton (1926-1998) introduced a series of modern lamps with personalities unlike any of his Scandinavian contemporaries.
With a remarkable faith in the unlimited possibilities of the form, he worked successfully to create a new set of theories about how lighting should work and how it should influence its surroundings.
Verner Panton in his own words:
"The main purpose of my work is to provoke people into using their imagination. Most people spend their lives living in dreary, grey-beige conformity, mortally afraid of usning colors. By experimenting with lighting, colors, textiles and furniture and utilizing the latest technologies, I try to show new ways, to encourage people to use their fantasy imagination and make their surroundings more exciting".
Manufacturer: Vitra
Classic. Modern. Sustainable.
Vitra has manufactured furniture designs by Charles & Ray Eames and George Nelson since 1957. Building on this foundation, Vitra has developed a wide range of furnishings for the office, for the home and for public spaces in collaboration with progressive designers. Yet Vitra is more than just a design-oriented manufacturing company. The name also stands for the Vitra Design Museum, for a collection of modern furniture and its accompanying archive, for workshops and publications on topics of design, and for an architectural concept that unites buildings by Frank Gehry, Nicholas Grimshaw, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Alvaro Siza, Herzog & de Meuron and SANAA at the Vitra Headquarters in Birsfelden (Switzerland) and on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein (Germany).
Product longevity is central to Vitra's contribution to sustainable development; short-lived styling is avoided at all costs. This can be seen most clearly in the classical pieces of furniture that have been used for decades, had several owners and have then even ended up as a part of a collection. For Vitra, the manufacture of sustainable products means intense pre-production development, where the highest-grade materials are selected and tests are carried out that simulate 15 years of use. In order to enforce and monitor sustainable development in all business activities of the company, a work group was formed in 1986 by the name of 'Vitra and the Environment'. Because of this, Vitra can proudly claim that it has been dedicated to sustainability for nearly a quarter of a century.View other products from Vitra

For 40 years, AIADA has made a positive impact on the economic livelihood of the 10,000 international nameplate franchises it represents. Illustrated below is a chronological history of AIADA's efforts to promote the international auto industry's contributions to the U.S economy.
On September 10, the first meeting of the board of directors of the Volkswagen American Dealers Association (VADA) was held. The board elected the following officers: David H. Gezon, president; Bob McElwaine, executive vice president; Ken Sowles, vice president; Richard Kronman, secretary; and Bob Miller, treasurer. On November 1, Kathleen Mordini became VADA's first employee.
On September 15, President Richard Nixon announced a temporary 10 percent surcharge on imported products, suspended convertibility of the dollar into gold, and announced a 90-day freeze on U.S. wages and prices. He sought revaluation of the yen. The unintended consequence was a steep revaluation of the German mark, eventually pricing the Volkswagen Beetle out of the U.S. market.
In October, Sen. Vance Hartke and Rep. James Burke introduced legislation that would roll back the rate of automobile imports to the average from the 1965 to 1969 period and reduce shipments by a third.
Labor unions began to shift away from favoring free trade and sought restrictions on automobile imports in order to curb overseas investment by U.S companies and the export of U.S. technology.
On January 30, VADA widened its membership to include all import franchise automobile dealers, and changed its name to the American Imported Automobile Dealers Association (AIADA). Ken Sowles became the association's second president.
AIADA supported passage of the Trade Reform Act of 1975, a measure to expand world trade and reduce tariffs. AIADA also testified against protectionist amendments, including auto quotas.
AIADA opposed the United Auto Workers Union (UAW) demand for import auto quotas. The measure was defeated at the committee level.
On May 8, following a vote by the board of directors, AIADA became the American International Automobile Dealers Association, which reflected the increasing globalization of the auto industry.
Ford and UAW filed "escape clause" action with the International Trade Commission, which would have led to higher tariffs or quotas on auto imports. AIADA's testimony resulted in the ITC's rejection of the claim.
Senators John Danforth and Lloyd Bentsen introduced legislation imposing quotas on Japanese auto imports, which was later withdrawn following a trip by AIADA representatives to Japan for meetings with the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and the Japanese Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA). Japan announced voluntary export restraints.
Porsche planned to terminate all dealer franchises and to appoint dealers as "agents" of the manufacturer. AIADA rallied dealer opposition and Porsche abandoned its plan.
AIADA led the legislative battle to defeat the domestic content requirement sought by UAW. The bill died in committee. A struggle over imports of gray market cars ensued. After AIADA waged a seven-year fight, Congress legislated controls over the gray market.
In retaliation to Brazilian trade barriers, the U.S. Trade Representative announced a 100 percent duty on Brazilian made Volkswagen Foxes. After AIADA intervened on behalf of dealers, the Fox was removed from the list of products subject to retaliation.
AIADA and other free trade groups joined the debate over the Trade Act of 1988, preventing its adoption.
Several cars, notably the Audi 5000, were plagued by claims of "unintended acceleration." AIADA joined dealers and manufacturers to correct public misinformation regarding the claims. In 1989, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) concluded its three-year study on the issue, acknowledging that "unintended acceleration is due to driver error."
U.S. customs announced that all imported passenger vans and sport utility vehicles would be classified as trucks and subject to a 25 percent tariff, raising prices on these vehicles by an average of $2,500 and costing the industry $2 million per day. AIADA condemned the decision – also known as the "chicken tax" – and spearheaded an effort to have it overturned. The U.S. Treasury Department intervened, declaring four-door minivans and sport utility vehicles exempt from the tariff.
AIADA joined an industry-wide effort to defeat a national alternative fuel vehicle production and sales mandate. Meanwhile, passage of a Luxury Excise Tax resulted in a ten-percent tax on five consumer items, including automobiles priced greater than $30,000.
AIADA rallied support for repeal of the Luxury Excise Tax, specifically as it related to automobiles.
The Johnston Energy Bill, which included a CAFE formula that would have discriminated against high mileage importers, failed to reach the Senate floor after opposition from the auto industry. AIADA also supported President George H.W. Bush's successful effort to extend congressional fast track authority.
AIADA successfully sidelined a Senate proposal to impose a 25 percent tariff on minivans and sport utility vehicles.
In response to fears that the Clinton administration would seek to reclassify import minivans and sport utility vehicles as cargo vehicles, AIADA launched a public relations effort to educate consumers and the administration on the harmful impact of reclassification.
In June, AIADA president Walter Huizenga and several member dealers testified before the United States Trade Representative Section 301 Committee on the impact that sanctions on thirteen Japanese import vehicles would have on American dealerships. Later that month, AIADA dealers, led by board chairman Kjell Bergh, traveled to Japan for meetings with U.S. embassy officials, Japanese government officials, auto manufacturers, and Japanese auto dealers. After tense, round-the-clock negotiations in Geneva, the U.S. and Japan struck an accord, which ended the crisis.
Congress and President Bill Clinton responded to international auto industry efforts by including a phase-out of the luxury tax in the Minimum Wage/Small Business Tax Relief Bill. The bill immediately lowered the tax from ten percent to nine percent, with subsequent reductions through 2002, at which point the tax was to be eliminated.
AIADA lobbied NHTSA regarding their proposal to allow air bag deactivation. On January 19, dealers were given the option of installing air bag on-off switches for customers with written authorization from NHTSA.
On June 15, AIADA testified before the U.S. International Trade Commission, calling for the elimination of the "chicken tax." Additionally, an AIADA representative attended World Trade Organization (WTO) talks in Seattle.
On May 26, Congress approved a $1.3 trillion tax package that included a repeal of the death tax. AIADA lauded the provision as a victory for America's family-owned businesses.
Comprehensive energy legislation was unveiled, which set the stage for a year-long battle on national CAFE standards.
An AIADA-sponsored poll, conducted by McGlaughlin & Associates, found that 84 percent of Americans felt that the Death Tax was unfair.
On February 18, President George W. Bush signed the Class-Action Fairness Act of 2005, marking a critical step toward ending frivolous lawsuits.
AIADA leaders traveled to Thailand as part of a U.S. Trade Representative delegation to drum up support for a free trade agreement between the U.S. and Thailand.
In January, AIADA President Cody Lusk honored late chairman, Dave Mungenast, Sr., by renaming the association's Lifetime Achievement Award in his honor during AIADA's Annual Meeting and Luncheon in Las Vegas.
In May, AIADA hosted the first-ever International Auto Summit in Washington, D.C., bringing together dealers, industry leaders, and legislators.
On June 30, the U.S. and the Republic of Korea signed a free trade agreement which, pending final approval by Congress, would add $10 to 12 billion annual to the U.S. Gross Domestic Product.
In January, the first-ever Dave F. Mungenast, Sr. Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Joe O'Brien at the 2008 Annual Meeting and Luncheon in San Francisco.
As the U.S. recession deepened, auto sales fell more than 20 percent and Chrysler and General Motors declared bankruptcy. AIADA worked to loosen credit for dealers and helped organize the ground breaking federal Cash for Clunkers program.
Toyota executives were summoned to Capitol Hill in February and March for a series of Congressional hearings amid reports of unintended acceleration. AIADA helped organize a contingency of dealers who traveled to Washington to share with their elected officials first-hand account of how Toyota's dealerships were handling the recalls and repairs on the front lines.
After intense lobbying and advocacy efforts, in June, dealers successfully secured an exemption from new oversight in the finance reform conference report.

Thanksgiving dangers for pets
Holidays have their own special challenges for family pets, and the focus on food at Thanksgiving presents some particular dangers.Continue Reading
Many veterinarians and animal organizations say you should be careful not to let your pet have any of the Thanksgiving dinner food. But a poll of visitors to the petMD.com site found that 56 percent admitted to sharing Thanksgiving table scraps with their pets.
If that's the case at your house, the ASPCA recommends that you pay close attention to the food your pet is getting:
Turkey -- As a lean protein, turkey can be good for your cat or dog. Stick with cooked white meat and remove the skin, which can be hard to digest. Avoid raw or undercooked turkey because it can contain salmonella bacteria.
No bones -- It's especially important to keep the bones away from your dog. Bird bones are hollow and break easily. Sharp pieces can get lodged in your dog's intestine.Posted by Gary Kiefer on November 24, 2014 10:45 AM

Julia Child at 100: Celebrating Her Most Memorable Moments
In honor of what would have been Julia Child's 100th birthday, we're taking a look back at a timeline of the most memorable moments from the star of The French Chef.
Looking for more celebrity chef fun? Check out these celeb chefs' most memorable mistakes or these don't-tell shortcuts from gourmet kitchens.
By Kiri Tannenbaum
1978: Parodied On Saturday Night Live
With her distinct sing-songy voice, Julia Child was often imitated all in good fun. The icon was even parodied by comedian Dan Aykroyd on Saturday Night Live in 1978. In the skit, Aykroyd, donning a wig, skirt, and well-stuffed bra, cleaned a bird while recommending to save the liver for liverwurst to spread on a Ritz crackers or to make chopped liver in the shape of a friend's head or to serve to your cat or dog. He also reminded the audience to use a very, very sharp knife until "cutting the dickens" out of his finger and hilariously proceeding to gush blood all over the chicken and the countertop, all while insisting, as Julia would, to remember to "save the liver." Years later, in an interview, Julia admitted the parody was "terribly funny."

Rumble Fish (1983)
Francis Ford Coppola's S.E. Hinton adaptation cast Rourke as the brooding, enigmatic Motorcycle Boy. Coppola recalls the actor having a unique style that combined ''mystery and an attractive weirdness.''
Body Heat (1981)
The sultry noir was Kathleen Turner and William Hurt's show, but Rourke nearly stole it as a sleazy arsonist. ''That's when I first noticed him,'' says fan Steve Buscemi. ''I remember thinking, Wow, who is this guy?''
Diner (1982)
Barry Levinson's ensemble comedy set in 1959 Baltimore earned the actor the best reviews of his career and sparked a decade of leading-man assignments. Tough, sensitive, and damaged, Rourke, the star, is born.
The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984)
An underseen gem about a couple of small-time New York cousins and crooks. ''Mickey doesn't learn the lines,'' says costar Eric Roberts. ''He's 95 percent improvisation.''
Barfly (1987)
As boozing gutter poet Charles Bukowski (he's named Henry Chinaski in the film), Rourke paints a harrowing and not-very-pretty portrait of talent squandered. Makes Leaving Las Vegas look like a Disney movie.
Angel Heart (1987)
Alan Parker's moody head-trip whodunit was set in the voodoo demimonde of New Orleans. Rourke's Method acting face-off with a Luciferian Robert De Niro is alone worth the price of a rental.
Sin City (2005)
Based on the comic, Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's pulp hit is pure digital eye candy. And no confection is sweeter than Rourke's Marv, a cement-faced gorilla of a man who is the movie's best special effect.

There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of law and in the name of justice.
Charles de Montesquieu
Operation Ore and internet allegations
Concern about the prevalence and accessibility of child pornography has magnified in recent years with the growth of the internet.
The law is clear that it is a serious crime to intentionally access or possess such material.
However, when it comes to identifying intention and criminal acts in this complex ephemeral medium, there are many pitfalls ensnaring the innocent as well as the guilty.
Operation Ore was a large-scale police investigation supposedly targeting paid subscribers to an internet child pornography gateway.
In the UK, thousands of people were implicated and convicted or cautioned even though they protested no knowledge of having visited the site or any interest or intention to access child pornography.
It has since emerged that the blueprint employed to incriminate suspects was fundamentally flawed, so that many people may have been implicated in a crime they did not commit.
With the help of experts, Chris Saltrese Solicitors has carried out groundbreaking evidential and legal research into Operation Ore and is preparing a raft of criminal appeals and judicial reviews of cautions.
If you were wrongly convicted or cautioned in relation to Operation Ore, please get in touch and we may be able to assist.
"People wouldn't believe how bad it all is, unless it happened to them. By then of course, it is too late as the whole machine will be against you. Plead guilty and you might get some mercy. Live through it, and you will have endured the ultimate challenge."
Two very well known faces. Both will know why they are pictured here.

Spying tips and techniques. Learn the tactics of a spy... How to conduct surveillance, how to counter surveillance and the best ways to communicate, travel and meet securely.
Consider using some of the counter surveillance, communication and concealment techniques to improve your personal or corporate security...
...But if you wish to conduct any active surveillance please refer to the laws and regulations of your own country.
Click on the link below to find out a little more regarding each subject.
Surveillance | Counter Surveillance | Surveillance Devices | Communication
To monitor the activities of persons or organizations to obtain information. Be that covert (without their knowledge) or overt (with their knowledge).
Modern technologies have given surveillance a completely new potential. With GPS tracking, hidden cameras, motion detection cameras, digtial recording equipment and computer software now everywhere, you can track, shadow or gather detailed information on people or organizations with ease...
...Websites with access to detailed public records, criminal records, driving history and education records are all but a few clicks away. Click here for detailed spying tips.
...And potentially dangerous.
Basically preventing surveillance or making surveillance decidedly difficult.
With the constant introduction of new technology, forever growing security systems, and detailed computer databases, counter surveillance continues to grow into a necessity for businesses and the average person.
And with the increasing risk to computer, post, credit card and identity fraud you need to
take some measures to combat unwanted spying.
New technology means cameras can now transmit clear color pictures and audio from just a tiny pin-hole lens or microphone. They are coming in all forms of disguise; pens, baseball caps, clock radios, binoculars, spy phones and briefcases to name a few.
Both bugs and detectors are covered in the surveillance and counter surveillance guides.
An essential part of spying is the gathering, transit and analysis of information and intelligence in secrecy. You need to know the best spying tips and techniques available for communicating securely:
A code simply works by replacing words or phrases with something different to encrypt letters for example.
Telephones and mobiles
With growing satellite and mobile phone technology, long distance communication is simple but risky.
Telephone tapping is also a common problem but, there are some simple but smart precautions that can reduce the risk to sensitive calls.
If you want to know how to be smart against telephone tapping and how to use your mobile securely see our Counter Surveillance Techniques.
Drops or Message Passing
Messages are often passed using dead-drops, or dead-letter boxes, a prearranged location where the message is placed in specific container.
A simple spying tip to integrate with your messages is to use Invisible ink - this has been adopted by spies for many years. (You could write a fake letter with ordinary ink then add your secret writings with invisible ink)
Inks can be used on fabrics as well as with paper, opening up further possibilities.
An important part of a spy's job is to be able to look natural and blend in but disguising identity involves more than just changing your appearance.
Disguising your activities, traveling and meeting securely are covered in detail in the Counter Surveillance Techniques guide

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Kevin Roberts new host of BBQ Pitmasters Season 2 on the Early Show today!
Kevin Roberts, the new host of TLC BBQ Pitmasters Season 2 was on The Early show this morning talking hot dogs. Yes. Hot dogs. It was probably a much safer topic than his previous appearance on the Today show with some rib cooking options. I liked his suggestion of a pickle bar versus chips. It is a much healthier idea for sure! He is still taking shots but this time was Franks Red Hot! The Food Dude certainly is amusing with Chicago Style, Texas style and many more pimping out the hot dogs!!

TLC BBQ Pitmasters Gets a new host…and is looking for judges for the show.
There is a new host for season two of BBQ Pitmasters. Kevin Roberts has been selected by TLC to host the second season of BBQ Pitmasters.
Kevin Roberts is an executive chef, cookbook author, sports bar owner, and radio & tv personality. Here is his bio from his website Munchies TV He also goes by the nickname "the Food Dude"
Recently he was on the Today show introducing him as the new host of TLC BBQ Pitmasters and his segment certainly elicited a variety of responses. The vast majority of those being unflattering. Between the incessant mustard shots and the advice to boil your ribs in beer it certainly made for cringe worthy TV in the eyes of many bbq'ers who vehemently oppose boiling ribs (I am in this group). He definitely got people talking on BBQ forums and foodie websites.
Overall until the show airs we will all have to wait and see how he fares as the new host with the new format. I would not dismiss him right now. The show I believe is being changed to appeal to a wider variety of audience. Not just competition BBQ'ers and our focus on the 4 main meats (brisket, ribs, chicken, pork butt) but more to the general public. Obviously there had to be changes to the format. They averaged 900,000 viewers by all accounts that I have read against some tough other shows. The ratings must increase. How they get there remains to be seen. I wish the show and the future teams appearing on the show all the very best. My hope is that once again we see an increase in people coming out to the competitions and more people joining up to the various sanctioning bodies all over North America.

Fused by 8
Dancers – 8
Muisc – Black Violin
Lighting – Kam Hobbs
Costumes – Cindy Darling
"In Fused By 8, (2009), the sculpted musicality of Immanuel Naylor's powerful opening and closing solos, set to Bach's Brandenburg #3, framed the musically diverse full-company piece, exploring a bound world of curved space ready to explode. Lehrer's movement entered the music so completely as to become its visual realization. Challenging unseen spatial constraints, tightly-wound, high-force group trajectories embodied Bach's musical complexity and integrated the urgency of "Black Violin's" jazz variations. Lehrer grapples with this theme in the breath-taking duet section in which Jennifer Huffman and Joseph Roth defy the limits of body and balance in daring horizontal and off-center vertical lifts. The ensemble's entrances and exits build a fugue of musical and movement motifs combining on-a-dime transitions from floor to standing to seemingly weightless flight. Quantum leaps and surprise shifts of effort and flow highlight Lehrer's work ."
- Lynn Shapiro, Dance Writer and Chicago correspondent for Dance Magazine
"Lehrer's work exploded from the outset in a fury of contemporary ballet movement executed by eight dancers who pitched and rocked their torsos forward and back into straight-legged extensions that rapidly flowed into quick turns and pirouettes. Lehrer's dancers bounced, glided and somersaulted their way on and off the stage in bursts of brisk movement. Signature Lehrer in its power and intense physicality, Fused by 8 was a choreographically solid and engaging work.

DuPont™ Teflon® Multi-Use Lubricant
PLEASE NOTE THAT AS OF OCTOBER 2011, THE DUPONT™ TEFLON® MULTI-USE DRY, WAX FORMULA WAS MODIFIED. Many of our loyal customers have been purchasing DuPont™ Teflon® Multi-Use for nearly a decade. We recently upgraded the formula to be a semi-dry lubricant no longer featuring the "dirt-resistant, dry-wax" feature. You will notice the most recent cans that appear on shelf do not contain the dry-wax claim on the label. Many users have reached out wondering where their dry-wax formulation went.
If you want to obtain that same dry-wax formulation, you should switch to DuPont™ Teflon® Chain-Saver. This product contains the same Teflon® fluoropolymer, molybdenum and wax mixture that users have come to appreciate for its wear protection, water repellency and dirt resistance.
DuPont™ Teflon® Chain-Saver Lubricant may be found at Wal-Mart (1,400 stores nationwide — check availability online). Lowe's (4 oz. squeeze bottles only), Northern Tool, Mills Fleet Farm, online at www.MidwayAutoSupply.com and at many specialty motorcycle shops (through Tucker Rocky distribution).
This light semi-dry lubricant features a calcium sulfonate thickener and DuPont™ Teflon® fluoropolymer for enhanced wear and corrosion protection. Use to eliminate squeaks, prevent rust and protect moving parts.

By now you've probably heard of a band called Fun. and heard their new single all "We Are Young" all over the radio every 3-5 minutes ad nauseum. But what you may not know is that Fun., while still a relatively young band, and their rise to success was in fact, a long time coming. I spent many years wondering whether whatever project singer Nate Ruess was in, would actually cross over and now it looks like I'll have to eat crow for ever pondering such a notion. I'm not saying the answers to success lie in my following essay, but I do think there is something we can all take from their career-path and hopefully apply to ours.
What you may or may not know is that Fun. actually springs from the ashes of another group that briefly flirted with mainstream success before disbanding. This band was from Arizona and called The Format. The band formed in 2001, had some good radio push locally and recorded a few albums. The first album was nothing special in my opinion, except for the first single ironically entitled "The First Single" with a hook a mile long, and the acoustic ballad "On Your Porch" which showcased Ruess' vocal range as well as story-telling ability.
Through hard work and perseverance they were eventually signed to Elektra records and then eventually Atlantic. During the recording of the 2nd album the label dropped them, and left the band to finish recording on their own. BIG mistake. The band released their second album in 2006, entitled Dog Problem's (inspired by how everytime Ruess and his longtime girlfriend would break up and get back together they would adopt a new dog).
This album, while unconventional for mainstream radio at the time took all of the band's past influences and built upon them, making a bigger, bolder, and catchier album but with more theatrical ornamentation. It was then that Nate Reuse's true gift came out, not only as a vocalist and lyricist but as a grown up type of cheerleader captain to his squad of eager and emotional rock'n'rollers. If you don't believe me fast forward to about 3:20 in the video below.
The band and their management released the album themselves, and even sold 2,000 copies within the first week with no real label push. The Format kept on touring, growing their fanbase steadily and then the unexpected happened, the band decided to disband in 2007. Both Nate and Sam said the split was amicable, but no one really dished any inside dirt.
Almost immediately after Ruess decided to start a new project, aptly entitled fun. This band carried on in the same direction Dog Problems left off, which makes me speculate it was a difference in direction that drove The Format apart. But rather than carry on and make another broadway influenced rock/pop album, fun. went on to create an album that had more in common than Vaudeville than any other mainstream album in the last 10 years. After completing several smaller to mid-size tours opening for acts like Motion City Soundtrack the band's momentum began to build as word of mouth about their live shows and the bands knack for embracing grandiose production and melody. Many people praised fun.'s debut album Aim and Ignite as a modern pop masterpiece. After completing bigger tours with other bigger acts like Panic! At The Disco and multi-platinum selling Paramore it was announced that the band had signed to indie-rock giant Fueled By Ramen.
In 2011 the band began working on their follow up, Some Night's, which had this writer worried. As a fan of the band I was afraid to how they would follow up their near perfect debut, and was afraid of an exact duplicate and that the band would play it safe. Earlier this year my fears disbanded as I heard the new album and realized they kept everything people and I loved about them, the big production, Nathan's huge vocal hooks, and knack for the expanding on the overblown.
However, instead of keeping the same ornamentation made up of steel drums, woodwinds and brass, the band went with a more modern and digital sound with new producer Jeff Bhasker most famous for working with Kanye West and Beyonce Knowles. Sometimes this backfires in my opinion, with excessive vocoder and auto-tune on songs that really don't need them, but they're the ones blowing up and not me so I could and am probably wrong as usual.
So what point am I getting at through all of this rambling? I think it's this: trust your instincts, work hard, stick with it and you might could be featured on Glee also…I think!

Schools get $5,000 for commitment to student health
Three South Dakota schools and one school district have been selected as winners of Governor Rounds' Healthy School Awards. Each will receive a $5,000 award.
This year's winners are Knollwood Elementary School in Rapid City, Mitchell Middle School, Mitchell High School and Brandon Valley School District.
"The Governor's Healthy School Awards provide recognition for leadership in the area of school health," said Kari Senger, co-director of the Coordinated School Health Program, which oversees the award process. "These schools are taking very thoughtful, calculated steps to improve the overall health of their students and school community, and we commend them for their efforts."
According to Senger, winning schools are chosen for their efforts in areas such as health education, physical education, family and community involvement, school-based nutrition programs, health services, healthy school environment and counseling services.
One of Brandon Valley School District's initiatives included a health fair that drew 1,600 people. It included a volleyball game between school administrators and the high school volleyball team. Staff also participated in a dance competition. Food vendors were available to show families what new and healthy items are available through the school lunch program, and parents and students provided input for future menu items.
At the Mitchell Middle School, students participated in taste tests, which have resulted in the addition of kiwi, strawberries, grapes, grapefruit, pears and spinach to the regular menu.
Governor Rounds' Healthy School Award winners are chosen at four levels: elementary school, middle school/junior high, high school and school district. In addition to the cash prize, winners receive a banner to display at their schools.
Finalists for the awards receive a plaque. This year's finalists are Arlington Elementary School, Colman-Egan Middle School, Colman-Egan High School and Eureka School District.

Sigma mouse: make your Powerpoints more entertaining to yourself
If you bore people to death with crappy, lazy powerpoint slideshows on a regular basis, you should waste some more of your company's time and money by buying a fancy mouse created just for that purpose. The Sigma SGM2 mouse is meant to be held as shown and waved around in the air when you emphatically make a point during your presentations. You can move the mouse using your thumb and that little trackball, but really all you need to do is to click the slides forward. Oh look, it's a paragraph of text! I'll just read that out loud for you, as you couldn't read it on your own. Do you like my choices in clipart? Look at that man singing, he has a top hat and a whip! He looks like he's from the circus! Now let's all go out there and be more productive, team!
