I just bought a Nutri Bullet and wow...I could have written the above post.
This is the BEST $99. I have ever spent, and it makes my old juicing efforts seem like a total waste of time. I am also using it to make my mothers nutrition supplement shakes with whey powder, milk, bananas and berries and almonds. I can make the green smoothie for me, and the make the drink with the calories, protein and fiber my mother needs. win-win.
Each thing I make takes no more than five minutes.
PS...for those wondering about beets, you really don't need much beet for either juicing or smoothie-ing. I buy a couple of loose beets, wash them, peel them, cut them up and keep them in a plastic baggie. I take out a piece as I need it. One small piece is going to be loaded with bioflavenoids, betalains, and all the 'red' you need.
That which does not kill me....had better run like hell!!!

Ooh! I used to juice a couple of years ago. I did it for about 10 days and lost 14 pounds. It works, but it was also the toughest thing I've ever done.
My thoughts, looking back:
1. Juice vegetables and add ginger or carrots to sweeten.
2. Fruit juice can make one more hungry. I tried to avoid fruit more often than not and get the same nutrients mostly in veggies.
3. There's good fiber in the pulp, so don't worry if some gets into the juice.
4. I'd go with at least one low-carb meal per day, for dinner, minimally. I felt kind of bad without any fat and protein and I wanted something to chew. This makes all kinds of things more wonderful.
5. It can be expensive, so I bought non-organic produce.
6. It helped reinvigorate my love of vegetables. Since the experiment, I've been a veggie fan again after decades of avoiding the green, leafy stuff.
I've lost 131 pounds

Cleochatra, that is very interesting, thank you. I am on my 5th day today and am finding it very hard. I bought a macerator that is a lot slower to juice but is meant to be much better. I also strain the juice because I read that any pulp n the juice would interfere with weight loss. So your comment about the pulp is interesting considering your success. I will no longer strain the juice.
I am struggling to drink enough because it takes me ages to make a glass of about 10 oz. I do try to use mostly vegetables with half or a whole green apple and I think this is one reason it takes me so long to make a small amount of juice.
I have lost weight but I have been doing Dukan and this past weekend before starting the juice fast I REALLY blew it so put on a lot (went from 138 to 146 !) This morning I weighed in at 137 so have lost the gain but only 1 pound down before my two day break so will be interested to see what tomorrow brings. Because it is so time consuming and difficult if I don't see a good loss I think I will call it a day at the end of five days.
if I knew I could lose like you I would definitely carry on. Well done!

WJS, that is interesting, and it definitely shows that we're all just different enough that things aren't always as easy as they should be.
If your machine allows some of the pulp through--even minimally, that's great. Even with my Juicemaster, I found that the "bulk" to the juice still had to be some of the fibrous goodness eking in, but I could be wrong.
I know you're also supposed to get plenty of liquids in addition to the juicing. Maybe things like organic beef or chicken broth in addition to juicing could be pretty phenomenal. Or an added smoothie during the day for some extra protein oomph if you want to stick to liquids at this juncture.
Judging from your 20+ pounds lost, I'd say you're doing great! Just keep doing what works for you, on't be afraid to change a couple of things one ting at a time and see if that works for you even better, and then keep and discard what works/doesn't.
At the end of the day, you have a remarkable experience that you enjoy, that makes you feel terrific, and that you look forward to continuing.

Wow, don't know how I missed this the first time but you have lost 116 pounds! That is amazing Cleochatra, well done!!!
I am not that successful. I lost on Dukan last year and got down to 132 but then went to JUDDD to try to lose a little more after a long stall on Dukan but ended up falling off the wagon over Christmas. I gained at a tremendous pace in a short time and still working on losing what I gained over the holidays!
I will determine what I do next after weighing in the morning but if I have a loss I will carry on and take your advice about adding some broth and perhaps protein as I continue. Thank you.

Police in Maryland are getting set to debut a new program to crack down on impaired driving.
Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown will join Maryland State Police Superintendent Colonel Marcus L. Brown, Maryland Department of Transportation Secretary James T. Smith Jr., Prince George's County Police Chief Mark A. Magaw, and other state officials and partner law enforcement agencies to unveil SPIDRE (State Police Impaired Driving Effort), a statewide Driving Under the Influence (DUI)-focused patrol team.
This effort is funded by the Maryland Highway Safety Office, a part of the Maryland Department of Transportation's Motor Vehicle Administration.
Over the past five years in Maryland, alcohol-related crashes have resulted in an average of 164 deaths and 3,301 injuries, accounting for 31 percent of all crashes on Maryland roadways.
To reduce impaired driving crashes, the SPIDRE team will be out in full force over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
The four-year program is part of the O'Malley-Brown Administration's ongoing efforts to reduce fatalities on Maryland roadways to zero.
The official SPIDRE kickoff event will be held at 2:30 p.m. ET on July 2 at the Maryland State Police Waterloo Barracks in Jessup.

Leapfrog Deploys Cloud-Based Wi-Fi Services With ADTRAN's Virtual WLAN
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), and Leapfrog Services, Inc., today jointly announced that Leapfrog has launched a cloud-based hosted Wi-Fi service utilizing the ADTRAN Bluesocket virtual WLAN (vWLAN®) solution . The revolutionary software-based wireless solution centralizes control and management of the WLAN on a hypervisor, making it possible to control wireless access points from anywhere in the world. The innovative ADTRAN Bluesocket vWLAN supports Leapfrog's commitment to delivering exceptional cloud-based IT solutions, management and support, enabling the company to offer customers highly flexible, scalable and secure managed WLAN services.
As demand for highly-available wireless access in the enterprise continues to grow, Leapfrog eagerly developed a hosted solution based on ADTRAN Bluesocket vWLAN that enables customers to cost-effectively scale their wireless networks to accommodate bandwidth-rich applications, higher throughput, more users and devices, and wider mobility. Furthermore, customers can enjoy more flexibility since the control function does not have to reside on the same LAN as the access points—an important capability for hosted services and when businesses need to efficiently offer and manage multi-site access for employees and guests or public Wi-Fi. By centralizing management onto one cloud-based controller, Leapfrog is able to significantly reduce complexity of wireless network management.
Leapfrog customer Cousins Properties, Inc., a leading diversified real estate company investing in office and retail development projects throughout the Southeast, has chosen to rely on Leapfrog's hosted WLAN service throughout multiple Class A buildings. Cousins is committed to providing tenants and guests complimentary high-performing wireless connectivity in all its properties' indoor and outdoor common areas. Since Cousins needed multi-site connectivity, the solution was extremely appealing because they can deploy a standardized solution across all locations without the need for a hardware controller at each location and Leapfrog hosts the network management and control from a centralized point at their NOC. Over the next 12 months, Cousins will deploy access points (APs) that will serve thousands of users on a daily basis.

I love documentaries. And I'm suggesting that if you see only one documentary this summer, you make it "...and this is my garden". It's not new. It's not big budget (how many documentaries are, though?). But it's fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!
Actually, I cried as I watched it. It's not a sad story at all - on the contrary, it's about an entire community that benefits when its children are taught to tend their own gardens. This is a film about the earth, community, wisdom sharing, food, and self sufficiency, but I can't describe how uplifting it truly is. After seeing it, I was energized and hopeful and really overwhelmed by the beauty of what can be accomplished with nothing more than water, sunlight, and care.
You must check it out for yourself! We've got it in our catalogue, and here's the film's website.
If you're a documentary fan, then check out Thin, an amazing little film from HBO. Thin explores the progression of several women who are residents in an eating disorder recovery centre in the United States. One resident is a wayward teen and another is a university educated psychiatric nurse; it quickly becomes apparent that anorexia doesn't discriminate based on age or education. But, I wonder – given that nearly every one of the residents was Caucasian – if there are some patterns related to ethnicity...? But, I digress...
The women in the centre are each close to or under(!) a hundred pounds and still believe that they have weight to lose. They obsess over every morsel ingested, and then try their damndest to eliminate those morsels by either vomiting or using diuretics, or squeezing the food out of their feeding tubes (yuck!). Sometimes they hide food rather than eating it at all. It's an enormous struggle – and a tearful event – when one woman is obliged to eat a whole cupcake. With psyches this complex, it's no wonder that the women have to receive treatment from a whole team of practitioners: counselors, doctors, dieticians, and others.
The film is really well made. It definitely shows the women in an unvarnished light, and the viewer will at times feel both repulsed and sympathetic. But ultimately, this is not a film about anorexia. It does not explain how anorexia comes about or can be prevented; it does not speculate about why or how these particular women fell victim to such skewed views of body and food. Rather, this is a film about women; about feelings; about obsession. And like a lot of other HBO productions, there is no happy ending offered. Indeed, the fates that befall some of the women who are forced to leave the centre are quite saddening. But this isn't suggary scripted TV; it's real life. Er - I guess I should say: It's not TV. It's HBO. So be prepared for a bit of grit.
Browse some of our documentaries today! And if docs aren't your thing, then check out HBO's dramatic shows. Six Feet Under, The Sopranos and Rome are all fabulous!
The fashion! The eyewear! The furniture! And a typewriter so simple that "even a woman can use it"! What more could you ask for?
I may just be the only person on the planet who hadn't seen Mad Men until about a month ago, when I borrowed season one and treated myself to a marathon. What an incredible drama!
Mad Men follows the lives of employees who work at Sterling Cooper, an advertising agency in 1960's Manhattan. The series reveals what work, home life, and relationships were like in the 60's, and how much they have (and haven't) changed, since then.
What's shocking to me is the idea that once upon a decade, I may have actually been able to smoke and drink at work. Not only that, but I might have been called "honey", "sweetheart" or some other derisive term, by a colleague or even a boss! But Mad Men isn't just about the differences between then and now. It's a compelling drama about men and women, work, fidelity, families, creativity, and commerce.
So far, my favourite character is Peggy, who starts season one as "the new girl" and finishes it as a junior copywriter. But, I also love Joan Holloway, the foxy office manager and resident femme fatale. The casting is brilliant and each character is really unique.
If you want to get immersed in a swell new drama, make it the world of Mad Men! Place a hold today and have it delivered to the branch of your choice.
One of my goals is to manage my money more effectively. So I typically browse through basic books or blogs on budgeting (spot the alliteration, kids!). In the reams of top 20 lists and collections of tidbits and tips, one piece of advice resounds again and again: use your library. Libraries allow you to borrow books for free, but it's much more than that. Here are some more ways that your library allows you to stay frugal:
Libraries might encourage you to cancel your magazine or newspaper subscriptions, because many of these can be read online, with your library card. You might decide to borrow a movie rather than renting one, or perhaps you'll attend a free screening in the library's theatre. You might learn a new skill by attending a free program – perhaps one about budgeting – or renting an instructional DVD. You could use library books or databases to learn about fixing a car, bike or appliance, and spare yourself the cost of buying a new one. Explore our collections about cooking and learn to prepare healthy, frugal meals. Home cooking is a huge opportunity to exercise frugality! Attend some of the library's special programs and speak with a lawyer, doctor, or career coach, for free! Check out the program guide for free concerts, and free access to our Writer in Residence.
Not all of our entertainment and enjoyment need be expensive. In fact, the library is a great place in which to instill a sense of frugality in your children. And children who have a sense of how money can be saved in simple ways will be well on their way to managing money when they're adults.
HBO's The Wire is a critical and unflinching look at the social problems within the streets of Baltimore. The Wire has an enormous cast: corner boys, teachers, police, journalists, city staff and many others populate its violent and shocking scenes. We witness corruption and back-room deals, the abject failure of the public education system, the dissolution of traditional forms of print media, and a vicious drug trade that leaves hundreds of dead in its wake.
So, why would you want to watch something so ostensibly disheartening? Because this is a series that has been critically acclaimed and touted as nothing short of "literature". If it is literature, it's Dickensian, to be sure. Narratives are played out in long arcs, and the pay off for viewers typically comes at the end of a 13 hour season. The Wire's writers are not afraid to eliminate major characters, either. In fact, several of my favourite characters eventually "get got" and wind up being shot by enemies or close associates.
Once you're beyond the initial shock of the violence and foul language, you're immersed in a world that's totally unlike the one you likely inhabit now. The acting is superior and the stories are gripping.
Check out The Wire today! Use your library card to place a hold, and we'll deliver the DVDs to a branch of your choice.
If you've got some holidays over the Christmas season, why not borrow some movies from your local library? Borrow up to 30 movies at one time, including documentaries, TV shows, exercise and cooking instruction, and lots more! Did you know that we have DVD and Blu-Ray? Check out our collections!
Christmas can be expensive, even for those who vow to keep things under control; there's something about this season that makes cash slipperier than usual. So rather than purchasing something to watch, borrow from us, instead.
And from all of us at the library (well, those of us who relish a good pun), have yourself a Blu, Blu Christmas!

India president approves new food subsidy programJuly 5, 2013 @ 7:17 am
NEW DELHI (AP) - The Indian president on Friday approved an ambitious food subsidy program aimed at providing cheap grains to hundreds of millions of poor Indians.
The estimated 1.3 trillion rupee ($23 billion) Food Security program targets about two-thirds of the country's 1.2 billion people.
President Pranab Mukherjee approved the program two days after the Cabinet passed the measure as an executive order after failing to push it through the country's chaotic Parliament.
The order must be ratified by Parliament within six months or it will lapse.
The next session of Parliament usually begins at the end of July but no date has yet been announced.
Critics and opposition legislators say the program is a costly political gimmick ahead of national elections slated for 2014. Supporters say it's crucial in a nation with large food stockpiles and many impoverished and hungry people.
Despite the economic gains of the last two decades, a recent U.N. study said India is home to the world's largest number of malnourished children, 61.7 million. It said 48 percent of all Indians under age 5 suffer from stunting due to poor nutrition.
The government has said it pushed through the measure because of a parliamentary stalemate caused by opposition accusations of corruption against the Congress party-led administration.
Parliament may amend the program, but it is expected to approve it since few lawmakers want to be seen as opposing a welfare program ahead of elections.
It will take several months to launch the program even after ratification as government agencies decide how the subsidized grains will be sold and who will qualify to buy them.
The new program will supplement an existing $15 billion food program riddled with corruption in which an estimated 58 percent of subsidized grain, sugar and kerosene is diverted from ration shops.
Ration shop workers often claim the month's shipment never arrived and then sell it on the open market at as much as 10 times the subsidized price. Recipients often receive much less than their full entitlement or are sold lower quality grain. There are ghost ration cards given out under fake names.
The new food aid program, described as the largest such program in the world, was one of the Congress party's promises during 2009 elections.

Most arena rock shows unfold with all the spontaneity of a touring Broadway musical.
No matter how much the singer shouts that "anything might happen," it's unlikely that anyone on stage will do anything that might screw up a lighting cue.
So it was refreshing to watch the bluster of the Black Keys on Wednesday at Amway Center in Orlando. The Midwestern-bred indie-rock duo of guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney delivered a loose-limbed 90 minutes that was remarkably unaffected.
As much as it's possible to turn an arena into a garage, the Black Keys did it.
Auerbach, Carney and a utilitarian backing band arrived in front of a minimalist backdrop -- heavy curtains of royal reds and blues – that transformed into an engaging combination of spotlights and video screens.
Starting with the propulsive opener, "Dead and Gone," the band's urgent music unfolded with unvarnished style. Carney's thunderous drum pounding introduced the show and consistently intersected with...Read more
Times are tough for guitar gods, what with all the electronica, hip-hop and laptop-generated rock.
So six-string deities -- even slightly flawed ones -- must be worshiped with the appropriate devotion. That was no problem on Tuesday, when guitar-slinger and neo-bluesman Joe Bonamassa displayed his higher powers for the faithful at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in Orlando.
"You RULE!" shouted one fan in the opening moments of a fiery performance that lasted more than 2-1/2 hours. Throughout the concert, other believers would add similar exclamations, creating an atmosphere that was a combination of rock show and gospel tent revival.
"I think we're officially the first rock and roll band" to play in the new concert hall, Bonamassa said in the early going. It was one of his few concessions to conversation in a show that was all about the music.
Bonamassa has built his reputation on blending American blues influences with splashes of world music, a trait that was...Read more
Chart-topping female rapper Iggy Azalea will perform May 15 at Amway Center in Orlando.
Azalea -- who emerged from hip-hop's underground to become a mainstream star with her debut album "The New Classic"-- is one of the most buzz-worthy music stories of 2014. Her Great Escape Tour also will feature performances by singer Nick Jonas and R&B/hip-hop acts Tinashe and DJ Wizz Kidd.
Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, Dec. 19, at Ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster outlets, the Amway Center box office and charge-by-phone at 1-800-745-3000. Tickets are $37.50, $55.50 and $67.50, plus fees.
There's also a pre-sale for American Express card members that starts today (Dec. 15) and runs through 9 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 18.

Forget the Ting Tinglers – and even the Jing Jinglers.
If the Whos down in Whoville really wanted to make noise, they should have consulted the musicians and singers of Trans-Siberian Orchestra, the resilient holiday rock opera that returned for its annual visit on Sunday at Amway Center.
It turns out the most effective way to make a holiday noise involves arena-rock guitar riffs, smoke, strobes, lasers and enough pyro to burn down a small village. Trans-Siberian Orchestra still love the smell of napalm in the morning.
In a 2-1/2 hour Sunday matinee, the first of two well-attended performances at Amway Center, Trans-Siberian Orchestra lit the fuse on another explosive, eye-popping spectacular. This year's holiday theme was delivered In "The Christmas Attic," the tale of a little girl who discovers secrets to magical Christmases past in letters uncovered in a crate in a creaky old house.
After its initial animated appearance on a giant video screen behind the musicians, the crate became...Read more
Veteran singer-songwriter Jackson Browne is booked for a Feb. 24 show at Bob Carr Theater.
Tickets -- at $49, $69 and $99 -- will go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday, Dec. 8, at the box office for the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Orlando.
Tickets also will be available at drphillipscenter.org or by phone at the Dr. Phillip box office, 844-513-2014.
Although Browne was famously "Running On Empty" in the 1970s, the introspective singer-songwriter's material continues to age gracefully, He played the Carr as a solo act in 2009, but Browne will be bringing along a band this time around: guitarist Val McCallum, drummer Mauricio Lewak, keyboardist Jeff Young, bassist Bob Glaub and steel guitarist Greg Leisz.

If you were among those planning a road trip to Tampa to see Fleetwood Mac on Dec. 20, there's now another option to see the band closer to home.
Fleetwood Mac has announced additional dates on their "On With the Show" tour, including a March 23 date at Amway Center in Orlando. Tickets for the show go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Monday, Dec. 15 at Ticketmaster.com. Tickets are $61.55-$195.30.
American Express card members can purchase tickets at a pre-sale that begins at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9 and runs through 10 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 14. Additionally, tickets go on sale to the general public starting Dec. 13 through the Live Nation mobile app and at www.livenation.com.
The band's tour marks the return of singer Christine McVie to the lineup for the first time in 16 years. Her presence -- along with Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood -- brings songs such as "You Make Loving Fun" and "Songbird" back into the mix.

Chick Galloway, PC's First Major Leaguer
Clarence Edward "Chick" "Galloway was born on August 4, 1896, in Manning, South Carolina. His family later moved to Clinton, where Chick attended Clinton High School and was a standout in several sports. In 1914, he entered Presbyterian College, where he went on to earn all-state honors in baseball, basketball, and football. During the summers, he also played textile league baseball.
In 1918, Chick wrote to the Atlanta Crackers of the Southern League and told them he could play shortstop for them if they would give him a chance. He played briefly for them before joining the navy, where he served from July until December of 1918. He returned to Atlanta for the 1919 season.That year the Crackers won the Southern League pennant, largely due to the efforts of the famous double play trio, Galloway, Jimmy Dykes and Ivy Griffin. Near the end of the season, Connie Mack brought the three to Philadelphia to play for the Athletics. According to Galloway, "I suppose the most thrilled I've ever been was the day Mr. Mack told me I was going to Philadelphia…He had been scouting the Atlanta club for a few days, and everybody knew he was looking at Dykes. I was really surprised when he also bought my contract. It was a dream come true" (State and Columbia Record, Sept. 17, 1961, p. 8-B).
Galloway played his first major league game on September 9, 1919, but did not become a regular starting shortstop until 1921. His best season with the A's was in 1922, when he batted .334, and was named to the all-star team. According to the Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger, "He not only outhit his nearest shortstop competitor by some fifty-five points, but his batting average was higher than that of Babe Ruth…His fielding was as brilliant and consistent as that of a man who aspired to be Barry's successor could be. Best of all, the Chicken isn't swollen headed over his success. He is just the same good-hearted, modest youngster as when he came up, unheralded and unsung, from the sticks" (Nov. 8, 1922).
In 1928, Galloway was traded to the Detroit Tigers. After playing only 53 games that season, he was hit in the head during batting practice, resulting in a serious head injury that ended his major league career. He returned to Clinton, where he first opened a book and gift shop, and later became an underwriter for Equitable Life Insurance and Colonial Life. From 1935-1943 he coached the PC baseball team, which won the state championship in 1937. That year he persuaded Connie Mack to bring the A's to Clinton for an exhibition game against PC. He also worked as a major league scout, and recruited both Lou Brissie and Kurt Higbe.
Chick Galloway was named Clinton's Citizen of the Year in 1967 because of his sportsmanship and encouragement of young people in the community. According to the Clinton Chronicle, "On any given day…at the Little League park, the PC tennis courts, or the high school football field – one may find Mr. "Chick" as the living symbol of the best in sports. He's as young at heart as the youngest performer, interested in every move and ready with encouragement for clean, hard play" (April 6, 1967). Chick Galloway died two years later, on Nov. 7, 1969, and was posthumously inducted into the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame in 1976.

religious discrimination
The Hate Crimes Project will present new Scottish research on concepts of "hate" crime. It will also provide short summaries, discussion and artwork from multimedia projects.
The site is partially funded by a grant from the Royal Society of Edinburgh and at present it contains links and findings from research carried out, some with colleagues, funded by the RSE, the Clark Foundation and the Scottish Centre for Criminal Justice Research, all of whose support is gratefully acknowledged.
Series of anti-bullying materials that provide guidance and practical solutions on preventing and responding to incidents of bullying in schools.
It includes a brief overview document and and detailed guidance on five areas of bullying: bullying around race, religion and culture; bullying around special educational needs and disabilities; cyber bullying; homophobic bullying; and sexist, sexual and transphobic bullying.
Report that presents key findings from a study of public attitudes towards discrimination and positive action. Based on data from the Scottish Social Attitudes survey (SSA), the study aimed to:
• Measure the extent and character of discriminatory attitudes in Scotland in 2010
• Assess the extent of support for positive action to try and achieve equality for different groups
• Examine how attitudes have changed over time.
Commissioned report by Equality and Human Rights Commission that aims to identify and review: • Quantitative and qualitative evidence of religious discrimination • Any evidence about whether religious discrimination is increasing or decreasing • Any differences in evidence between England, Wales and Scotland • 'Islamophobia' as a frame of reference for discrimination against Muslims • Gaps in the existing research and statistical evidence.
After the formation of the Equality and Human Rights Commission in October 2007, Ethnic Britain (originally launched in 2002) changed its name to Equality Britain, covering all aspects of equality.

About: Southern Drawl
Release Date: April 28, 2014: Worldwide Stores & Digital
Southern Drawl is the debut album from Monocled Man, the brainchild of trumpeter, composer & producer Rory Simmons, an artist who comfortably sits at the forefront of the UK's new wave of improvising and creative musicians. A trio consisting of Simmons on trumpet, Chris Montague on guitars and Jon Scott on drums, Monocled Man are already known for their unabashed raw energy, eclectic mix of genres and tricksy yet accessible compositions. These three astute musicians enjoy careers pushing music to its limit as sidemen with many of the most celebrated contemporary British bands, and bring this wealth of experience to make the music on Southern Drawl a completely unique and exciting statement, representing some of the best in what's happening on the UK's new music landscape.
Much of Monocled Man's music is inspired by the contemporary explorations of the NY Downtown scene, including Tim Berne, Jim Black and Craig Taborn, with sonic influences from David Torn, Cuong Vu and The Chicago Underground Ensemble. And in London where the trio is based, influence is found in the vast output from the forward-thinking Loop Collective (Simmons is a founding member) as well as music made by Chris Batchelor, Liam Noble, Julian Argüelles and the band Troyka.
Southern Drawl lays spiraling post rock inspired riffs over soaring brass lines and saturated guitars. Hypnotic guitar loops evolve out of through-composed knotty melodic lines and polyphonic writing; rumbling free drums with loose trumpet improv bristles over the top of the energy created between Chris Montague and Jon Scott. Simmons' trumpet playing lurches between sweet, almost Arve Henriksen moments to the wilder improv of contemporary players like Ralph Alessi and Herb Robertson, while even invoking the delayed soaked psychedelia of 70's Miles Davis. Chris Monatgue's post-Krantz driven sound, with influences of Marc Ducret and David Torn, brings elements of acid country, skronk and noise improv. Enveloping the ensemble with intricate but driving poly-rhythm and multi-layered texture is Jon Scott, one of the UK's most in demand new drummers. Playful percussive moments give way to thrashing grooves at the next, propelling the energy of the trio throughout the record.
And this album is lit with colors of layered synths and processed audio from the sessions, which were carefully and skillfully edited and produced by Simmons. Filtered drums fly across the stereo image, while de-tuned brass chords throb under moments of hi-octane noise. An array of analog keyboards paired with stretched audio give this album a fresh panorama of high energy contemporary jazz and rock improv, soaked with a post-produced kaleidoscopic landscape that marks Monocled Man out as one of the most eclectic and exciting new ensembles on the European scene.
Press Highlights
"An album that is a serious listen, further evidence that Simmons can be counted as one of the most creative trumpeters on the UK jazz scene at the moment with ideas to burn firing us all up."
4 Stars, Marlbank
"Monocled Man are another fierce contender on the UK's triving alt, electric jazz scene."
4 Stars, Jazzwise Magazine
"Monocled Man is downtown New York edginess meets northern European cool, with an adrenalin injection of raw London punk energy.
The Irish Times
"The verve and raw energy of Monocled Man is addictive, especially from a trio (Troyka and Partikel fans are sure to find the rough-hewn vitality here very attractive), and the prospect of live extemporization is definitely something to look out for. An absorbing 9-track, 45-minute playlist (all composed by Simmons) which is as full-bodied as it is exciting."
AP Reviews
"The feeling is very much of a live session, with Montague's choppy riffing integrating well with Scott's urgent drumming on up-tempo numbers such as Bullet Nose, and the three players building atmosphere very effectively together on Scribbles. Fans of Red-era King Crimson and recent developments in Scandinavian jazz, will find much to enjoy in Monocled Man's blend of rugged interplay and melodic soul-searching."
Herald of Scotland
"[Simmon is] a long-lined improviser with a big vocabulary, and Chris Montague's sound-palette extends a long way above and below linear guitar breaks. It's very accomplished and often exciting."
The Guardian
"At times fascinatingly challenging, unsettling and emotional, this album is an emotive piece of composition which gives these three musicians an opportunity to improvise and combine in an exciting new format."
London Jazz
"Trumpeter Rory Simmons' Monocled Man... this burgeoning trio also features adventurous Troyka guitarist Chris Montague and exciting Kairos 4tet drummer Jon Scott all tearing it up on free flowing mix of jazz-rock-into-electronica sounds."
Jazzwise Magazine (live preview)

Temperature Control System
March 2003
Print this page
The company's new DFM14E and DFM44E temperature control systems are for use with recirculating direct gas-fired modulating air heaters and are designed to comply with new ANSI Z83.18 specifications. Both systems are said to utilize reliable and approved control methods to comply with the new standard. One of the control methods used is the "Auto-calibrate" feature, which is a simple calibration process that gathers damper position data and the corresponding airflow data, according to the supplier. The information is then used to generate each unit's air-flow characteristic. Other features include programmable software, remote room sensing (optional), multiple air metering options, and low pressure burner compensation, among others. Maxitrol Company

The two-time Olympic champ will have to live up to his reputation to win the featherweight title when he faces Orlando Salido in San Antonio on March 1.
Enjoy the Register's sports columnists' latest columns for free:
MARINA DEL REY – Some people believe they can fly. They aren't boxing people.
You might see a pie in the sky. Boxing people see an asteroid.
Boxing people aren't sure the KGB had nothing to do with the Miracle On Ice, and they wouldn't be shocked if Bin Laden was alive and well.
Sure, they're more jaded than a necklace in Shanghai. They've been around boxing.
So they are not all sold on the fact that Vasyl Lomachenko, the two-time Olympic gold medalist from the Ukraine, is going for a WBO belt in his second professional fight.
Lomachenko doesn't understand it either.
"Of course I was surprised," he said Wednesday before he trained at CMC Boxing. "I was aiming to do that in my first professional fight. Why do I have to wait until the second?"
He was smiling but not joking.
"When we met with him and signed him, that's what he said," said Bob Arum, CEO of Top Rank. "We told him how we usually handle fighters, about fighting four-rounders and six-rounders, and he said, no, he wanted to fight for a title right away.
"We said, 'Well, hold on. How about if you fight a good fighter in your debut and then you'll fight the winner of a championship fight?' He said OK."
Lomachenko then took apart Jose Ramirez last October, on the Tim Bradley-Juan Manuel Marquez undercard.
In the very next fight, Orlando Salido beat up Orlando Cruz for WBO featherweight honors.
Thus, it's the 1-0 Lomachenko against the 40-12-1 Salido on March 1 in San Antonio, just before Julio Cesar Chavez's rematch with Bryan Vera.
This is brazen stuff.
"Tell me about it," Arum said.
Lomachenko was 396-1 in his amateur career and then twice beat the one guy who beat him. But he never has gone past five rounds. He's scheduled for 12 with Salido, 34, who has fought 10 or more rounds nine times.
Salido is a world-class warrior who beat Juan Manuel Lopez twice and went 12 rounds in losses to Marquez and Yuriorkis Gamboa.
"Every time you go into the ring there is danger," Lomachenko said, "so Salido is the same as everyone else."
He is betting on his uniqueness. He is not the only one.
"The things he does in training are extraordinary," said Arum, in Macau to promote a weekend card that features Chinese Olympic champ Zou Shimming.
"He comes out of the ring and walks around on his hands. He spends an hour with a sports psychologist after that. There are a lot of Russian writers over here and they talk about Lomachenko like he's God."

Congrats to Melinda, she's beautiful! I think she tried out for AI10 but was eliminated in Los Vegas. I hope she makes it through to the top 10!
There isn't like any sensational performances yet from the rumoured Top 40 :/
The girls have been better for past few seasons but WGWG force is too strong. 5 in a row... and I think it's going to be Sixth for this season, before they cancel the whole show. It's like of the first 6 seasons, girls won 4 seasons, after which AI lose appeal with the American Public in general and now, only the fan girls will watch this show + woman... (more in general than guys anyway) and there's no way the girls has a chance. HOPE A GIRL FINALLY WINS.
I cried when Jennifer Hudson was eliminated. Still the worst elimination ever. Thank goodness America treasure talents and JHud is so successful right now <3.

Using a Water Softener as an Iron Filter:
You should virtually NEVER use a water softener as an iron filter and you should be very wary of anyone who suggests you do such a thing. Iron causes damage to a water softener's mineral bed and makes water softeners use a lot more salt. Eventually running measurable amounts of iron to a water softener will certainly result in expensive service calls. In home sales companies often do this to generate ongoing income from unsuspecting consumers. If you have an iron problem you should use an iron filter to remove that iron. If the water is very hard you can add a water softener which will then be highly efficient as it only has to do one job which is remove hardness. That is what a water softener is for. Using this method our average customer says they add salt about once per year when the water softener is properly applied. People who use water softeners as iron filters may find that absolutely amazing as they are usually using MASSIVE amounts of salt. And usually the person who told them to do such a foolish thing is selling them the salt!
The majority of people we see who have been sold a water softener as an iron filter never needed a softener to begin with, or the unnecessary maintenance and expense of adding massive amounts of salt and ongoing service issues. A lot of iron in the water often makes it act like the water is really hard when that is not always the case. Not to mention we have iron filters that require virtually no maintenance and require no salt or chemical additives. And the water will be great to drink without adding reverse osmosis like you would have to do with a water softener.
Water softeners use ionic exchange to remove hardness. A proper iron filter uses filtration to remove iron. The best type of iron filtration is to use an "oxidizing" filter for iron removal such as our Terminox™ ISM filter. Our "Terminox™" iron filters remove iron, sulfur, manganese, dirt, turbidity, smells, tastes and even harsh chemicals such as chlorine. They use no salt or chemicals and are virtually maintenance free. Just set it and forget it. You can find them on this page:
Also remember you should not drink the water from a water softener as a rule. You should either drink bottled water or add reverse osmosis ($199.87) to the kitchen sink for all of your cooking and drinking water. You can also connect up to two additional water using appliances, including refrigerators, freezers and ice makers to a single reverse osmosis unit when properly applied.
WARNING: When it comes to treatment equipment you should NEVER do business with ANY company who does not have the same certifications as we do. It is just plain crazy. There are so many "Fly by night" companies out there that it should be the very FIRST rule in your decision making process. It is your first, and sometimes ONLY, line of defense. Just look at our home page to see our many appropriate certifications. You will find them all in the top third of the page.

Nice Kids Get Treated Nicely: Study
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 7 (HealthDay News) -- Goodness doesn't go unrewarded: Young children are more likely to be nice to other children who are kind, a new study finds.
Japanese researchers watched the day-to-day behavior of kindergarteners, aged 5 and 6, on the playground. The observations revealed that children were more likely to offer an object to or help a child whom they had seen being helpful to another child.
The findings, published Aug. 7 in the journal PLoS One, suggest that children establish a sense of their peers' reputations early in life, said Kenji Onishi and colleagues from Osaka University.
Collaborating with people based on their reputation or by seeing how they behave with others is crucial for cooperative societies to succeed, a journal news release said. Even though acts of kindness aren't always reciprocated by recipients, they increase a person's chances of having someone else in their social network help them, the researchers said.

Nurses Are Good at Giving Flu Vaccines, Bad at Getting Them
Nurses are leading the way in reducing readmissions, improving infection control, and greening hospitals. Now add improving vaccination rates to that list.
A new study in the Annals of Family Medicine finds that more elderly and at-risk adults get flu and pneumonia vaccinations when the shots are administered by nurses instead of doctors.
Researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, analyzed 77 studies about methods for improving vaccination rates, from patient financial incentives to patient outreach.
They found that "interventions involving team change were effective, especially where nurses had been assigned responsibilities for administering vaccine."
Of all the methods they studied, the researchers found that giving vaccination responsibility to nurses was among the most successful ways to improve vaccination rates.
"The evidence, we think, clearly shows that shifting the responsibility and the ability to vaccinate to non-physician personnel... works," Jeffrey Johnson, one of the researchers, told Reuters Health.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Deborah Jackson-Smith (11/29/2012 at 11:33 AM)
While I'm not a nurse, I've been in the health care environment for 32 years and worked with physicians, nurses, students, ancillary staff, volunteers and anyone else who provides service to our patient and the bottom line is we're ALL considered health care workers in one way or another. That being said, it's each person's responsibility and right to make the decision to get vaccinated based on the simple question they should all ask themselves; "Am I putting my patient at risk by not getting vaccinated?" Kind of a no-brainer if you ask me.
Eddy Geyer (11/28/2012 at 1:34 PM)
Odd your article fails to mention the ethical issues associated with forced vaccination. You report that when vaccination is forced rates go from 63 to 98%. Have you wondered because that's because the employees were bullied and threatened with firing? Is that a good way to foster good will? Those who refuse are branded with shaming masks.Everyone knows masks are absolutely not effective after being in use for 10 minutes and in some cases have been shown to increase spread of infection? I would expect to see a dramatic drop in infection rates in those hospitals, has that been the case? Maybe these healthcare workers know something we do not. My sister in law who was employed with Swedish public health during the WHO [INVALID]d narcolepsy epidemicin 2009 among children from Sweden, Finland and Iceland that was caused by the flu vaccine, Pandermix. Strangely Poland who refused the vaccination completely had essentially the same death rate as Sweden and naturally not a single case of narcolepsy. My sister in law, a nurse, absolutely refuses vaccination to this day due to unknown long term side effects that have never been studied and autoimmune phenomenon such as this. Maybe healthcare workers, as educated individuals are more likely to make rational choices that aren't motivated by drama. I can tell you one thing, forced vaccination is the worst thing any hospital could enforce, it fosters anger, bitterness for a vaccine that is likely not as good as it claims to be. Thank you for listening Ed
Emily Leger RN (11/28/2012 at 12:17 AM)
Hmm how about dont lie to them? How about be mandated to stick to evidence based medicine? How about transparency and honesty? Consider the fact that healthcare workers will do their job when at work but when it comes to their own bodies they want interventions based on evidence, not idealism. The influenza vaccine, unlike other credible vaccinations, is not based in evidence. See the Cochrane Collective evidence review ( heard of them? the Lancet called them "the most important medical advancement since the discovery of the human genome") found that vaccination of healthcare workers had no effect on transmission of influenza to their elderly patients. The review found that in order to stop one case of influenza you had vaccinate between 33 and 99 people. So I ask you, if you vaccinate a nurse who might spend 4 minutes with the patient, then why not vaccinate every single person that person comes in contact with? Where does your vaccination program end? Remember when we were young and no one ran around in a season tizzy about our vulnerable dying? Influenza is an old virus, I gaurentee you it was the same strains then, so I ask you whats different now? Do not mistake quantity for quality in influenza research. Osterholm's recent exhaustive influenza review founds that only 31 out of 5707 influenza studies were conducted to scientific standards.. Osterholm says it best to the new york times: "We have overpromoted and overhyped this vaccine," said Michael T. Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, as well as its Center of Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance. "It does not protect as promoted. It's all a sales job: it's all public relations." Also, the numbers of flu deaths are grossly exaggerated lie. see this extensively researched piece from CBC http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/story/2012/11/22/flu-deaths-crowe.html Truth is influenza is a big business that is based on quaint notions of saving our elderly. Do not suggest nurses that dont vaccinate are inflicting harm. there have never been proof that this vaccine stops transmission of the virus. The people doing the harm are those in public health and government who do horrible things like force vaccination on healthcare workers and provide misinformation to the public to keep them scared. The current influenza message is firmly rooted in idealism with the quaint, politically motivated notion that our patients will feel better if their health care workers have been vaccinated..they would do better wearing a rabbits foot.

The Appliance Consumer Task Force (ACSTF), which was formed in August 2002 to address industry concerns about warranty service, recently met in Chicago, IL, U.S. during the NARDA Fall Institute of Management event.
The ACSTF is made of representatives from most independent retailer membership buying groups, parts distributors, and independent servicer organizations in the U.S. and Canada.
During the last 2 years, the organization has been meeting with appliance makers such as GE, Whirlpool, Electrolux, and Maytag to discuss several service issues, including streamlining the handling of warranty claims, addressing labor reimbursement rates, and generating an equitable revenue stream to defer the cost of handling warranty parts.
According to ACSTF, GE was one of the first appliance OEMs to take part in the initiative. "We're pleased that GE implemented an exciting program, which will pay service providers a 10-percent handling free on all warranty parts that went into effect on April 2004," said Bob Dickerman, ACSTF chairman. "We have been encouraging other major appliance manufacturers to come up with a similar program. This program, combined with paying servicers for parts, freight, and labor represents a significant cost savings to the servicer."
Mr. Dickerman added that providing such tools ensures that end consumers get the best possible service experience, which is ACSTF's goal. "We commend GE for their service to the industry," he said.
The organization will continue to meet with appliance producers in 2005 to address warranty reform issues.

Don't blame cancer patients for their disease
A piece of research – funded by Cancer Research UK and led by Profesor Max Parkin of Queen Mary College, London – called "The Fraction of Cancer Attributable to Lifestyle and Environmental Factors in the UK in 2010" was published yesterday.
The evidence suggests that over 100,000 cases of cancer – half the number diagnosed in the UK each year – are preventable. These cancers are caused by different combinations of the risk factors – identified by the report as cigarettes, diet, alcohol and obesity."40 per cent of cancers are caused by things we have the power to change".
Although Harpal Kumar from Cancer Research UK was quick to make the point that this is not a question of blame, I suspect that the way this report is headlined will not help those already diagnosed with cancer.
Once you discover your diagnosis you immediately question yourself. What did I do wrong? Was it my fault? If so, how do I tell the family that I have brought this on myself? Now that the news has carried the results of this report, will cancer patients feel the need to hide themselves away – lest their family and friends "blame" them for developing the disease? The massive anxiety caused by the word "cancer", the possible financial hardship and the effects of treatment are enough to bear without having the blame laid at your door.
Lifestyle choices may have a huge effect on our general health – or they may not. There are constant examples of people who did not conform to the suggested lifestyle and live long and productive lives. Professor Parkin admitted that there is no promise that people who do not fall into his category will escape cancer.
Basically, it seems that men do not eat enough fruit and vegetables and women are too fat. Obesity in women proved to be more risky than alcohol and 23,000 cases of lung cancer could be prevented if people stopped smoking.
Surely, it is a question of moderation in all things? Whilst exercise is, clearly, a vital ingredient of a healthy life, taken too far it can cause its own problems. My husband – who is not obese – has run every day of his adult life and, now, requires a new knee. Perhaps running twice a week would have enabled him to have kept his knee for longer? Who knows? His surgeon told us that there are 50,000 knee operations carried out in London each year – most are for people who are overweight.
I have written before about the female GP – who was at least 3 stone overweight – who told me (without batting an eyelid) that she felt it was more harmful to smoke one cigarette a day than to be overweight. Did she ever look in the mirror? Was she coming to the aid of her obese patients? Presumably not, as she was in denial of her own problem.
Our 21st century living comprises labour-saving devices and ready-made meals – all fine in their place, but I wonder, should we try and slow down the pace of our lives so that we have more time and less stress? The latter is not mentioned in the report as a cause of cancer but I agree with the many people who are convinced it should be at the top of the list.
Exercise is a good way to alleviate some of the stresses and strains of life – even if it is just walking up and down the stairs instead of taking the lift. I was interested to hear about the architects in New York who are designing new buildings with no obvious lift on the entrance floor. Everyone has to walk up at least one flight of stairs before they find the elevators – obviously, if you are disabled, there is a special lift available.
Professor Karol Sikora has suggested that mouth swabs should be taken from people who attend gyms, analysed and the results given to them with advice on how to change their lifestyle. Good idea – but I suspect that the people he is targeting do not go to the gym.
I agree absolutely that prevention is far better than cure – but, if the report's findings are to enjoy credibility, a cultural shift is needed and more research into other cancer causing factors not covered in this report.

Generation Next: Abdul Rahman Baba Ghana's young Black Star on the rise is a post from: Just Football
by Prince Narkortu Teye

It's quite an open secret that Ghana's predicament at left-back has become something of a perennial problem.
Wednesday marks the final round of qualifying for the African Nations Cup. It will now take place in Equatorial Guinea between 17 January to 8 February next year as Morocco were officially removed as hosts due to their reluctance of hosting the tournament due to fear of the ebola epidemic. Six places are still up for grabs prior to Wednesday's fixtures.
The Post-Mortem: World Cup 2014 Ghana is a post from: Just Football
The Post-Mortem is a series on Just Football looking at a selection of (predominantly) non-performing teams at World Cup 2014 and analysing the future. What went wrong? Who's to blame?
The 2014 World Cup in Brazil was something special, not just in the amount of goals that were scored, but the quality of soccer from almost every one of the 32 teams. To make sure we don't forget any of the memorable moments, We assembled several of our favorite GIFS from the World Cup below.
One of the most sensational goals scored in the World Cup was from Robin van Persie, who scored from an amazing header.
In a huge blow to Ghana's chances of defeating Portugal today, the Ghana Football Association has announced that both Kevin Prince-Boateng and Sulley Muntari have been suspended indefinitely from the national team and will not be playing in today's crucial FIFA World Cup game against Portugal.
The Ghana FA has withdrawn Sulley Muntari's accreditation as a World Cup player, and has issued the following statement:
"The decision was taken in the wake of his unprovoked physical attack on an Executive Committee member of the GFA and a management member of the Black Stars, Mr.

Portugal vs Ghana 2014 World Cup Highlights Goals Ronaldo Gyan Video is a post from Soccer Blogger. Follow Soccer Blogger on Twitter
The United States has reached the knockout stage of the World Cup for the second consecutive time after they lost 1-0 on Thursday in soggy conditions to Germany. The US advances as runners-up in the group as Portugal beat Ghana 2-1.
Portugal and the US both finished with four points, but the Americans advanced from a so-called "Group of Death" because their goal difference was even and the Portuguese were minus-3.
While United States versus Germany match took center stage stateside, there remained a watchful eye on "the other match." Both Portugal and Ghana needed a clear winner in the United States vs. Germany encounter and then needed to beat their own opponent convincingly to have a chance to advance to the knockout stage.
By CARL SETTERLUND
Fans of the United States can breathe a collective a sigh of relief.
Although the Americans couldn't help their own cause against Germany, they got just the result they needed in that other Group G game going on Thursday afternoon as Portugal downed Ghana 2-1 in a result that eliminated both nations and sent the United States through into the Round of 16.

The penultimate World Cup 2014 group finale is upon us, and it promises to be the most fascinating yet with all four teams in the mix, all four teams playing good football and all the group's matches so far having been memorable in some way. In Recife, the United States (2nd) play group leaders Germany.
Today's must-see game between USA and Germany will be shown live on US television and Internet beginning at Noon ET/9am PT (coverage begins at 11am ET/8am PT). If the United States beats or ties Germany, the USMNT will advance to the next round of the World Cup. If they lose, here's a helpful infographic that breaks down what needs to happen.
Over last weekend, Ghana and Portugal played in matches that both ended in 2-2 draws, keeping their World Cup hopes alive. In their first meeting against each other, Group G's underachievers have one more chance to redeem themselves while potentially advancing to the knockout stage.
Heading into the tournament, many believed Cristiano Ronaldo was going to dominate the World Cup and move himself up the list all fans and pundits personally have of the greatest soccer players of all time, especially after winning his second Ballon d'Or and another Champions League title.
Portugal v Ghana: Can Ronaldo save the Selecção's World Cup campaign? - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Cristiano Ronaldo's last-second cross for Varela's headed equalizer against the USA on Sunday, kept Portugal's World Cup dream alive. The Mediterranean nation very nearly followed in the footsteps of neighbors Spain, by losing their first 2 games and heading home on the first flights out of Brazil.
After reports leaked from the Black Stars training camp yesterday that Ghana's players planned on forfeiting tomorrow's pivotal match against Portugal due to not being paid for their performances yet, Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama (pictured above) has intervened to make sure everything is under control.
Ghana is confident they can defeat Portugal and make it to the round of 16 but they must be careful because that same demeanor is what made them lose to the United States and has them in the predicament they're in.
Group G has lived up to its pre-tournament expectations of being the 'group of death' with all four teams still having a chance to advance on Thursday.

Germany and Ghana traded shots in an intense 2-2 tie on Saturday.
We certainly like to make things hard on ourselves huh? The United States were seconds away from three points against Portugal and a secure spot in the knockout round of the 2014 World Cup but a late header by Portugal meant the US were left with a single point on the night.
Heading into Thursday'smatch, the United States are level on points with Germany, albeit with a three-goal deficit on goal differential.

Rechenspiele vor dem letzten Gruppenspiel Deutschland vs. USA
Heute Abend steigt das letzte Gruppenspiel für unsere Jungs bei der WM2014 in Brasilien. Nach dem Unentschieden gegen Ghana haben wir mitbekommen, das bei dem ein oder anderen Fan einfach eine große Verunsicherung vorhanden ist, denn ob wir gegen die USA unbedingt gewinnen müssen oder ob ein Unentschieden zum Weiterkommen.
We might reasonably suggest that no small part of the global appeal of association football stems from its combination of reliance on the very differing attributes of individual brilliance and the application of a solid team ethic. If the game itself is a blank sheet onto which we can project any of our values, this combination seems likely, whether concious or not, to be no small part of the reason behind why it is this particular aspect of the game that gives it a near-literal "everyman" appeal across so much of the globe.
