Editorial Reviews: SynopsisAs you read this book, there are a few things you have to understand: 95 percent of my stories are truthful. Every member of the Robertson family has the God- given gift of storytelling. Hey, when you've sat in a duck blind for more than half of your life, you have to figure out some way to pass the time! It's better than looking at Willie and Jase for six hours! Many of the stories I like to tell happened when I was a young boy or when I was in Vietnam. At my age, a few of the details are cloudy, but I'll recollect the coming stories as best I can. Hey, just remember it isn't a lie if you think it's true! It's up to you, the reader, to figure out what's truth and what's fiction. Best of luck with that, Jack! May the force be with you. Hey, another thing you have to know: my stories are kind of like my vocabulary. You might have noticed I like to say "hey" quite a bit. "Hey" can mean anything. It can mean "yes," it can mean "maybe," and it can mean "no." Hey, it could mean "next week." The bottom line is, you have to understand "hey" to understand me. And if you know anything about Silas Merritt Robertson, you know I'm a hard rascal to figure out. —From the Prologue CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

Dynavax, Santarus: Early Volume Plays
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Dynavax was among several stocks trading near $5poised to surge on heavy volume after clinical data showed its experimental hepatitis B vaccine showed promise in treating chronic kidney disease.
Dynavax said Phase II trials "demonstrate HEPLISAV 's immunogenicity and rapid protection in patients with chronic kidney disease." Dynavax said results showed that two doses of HEPLISAV protected 100% of the dialysis and pre-dialysis patients measured at week 24 in the Phase II study.
After closing at $1.45 Wednesday, Dynavax shares rallied by 35 cents, or 24.1%, to $1.80 in Thursday's premarket session. The 50-day average daily volume for Dynavax is 326,000, according to the Nasdaq.
CompuCredit Holdings (CCRT) was also indicated to trade higher on increased volume after the financial services said it will hold a modified Dutch auction tender offer for both debt and stock. CompuCredit said the offer is to purchase up to $100 million of its outstanding 3.625% convertible senior notes, as well as shares of outstanding common stock at a purchase price of $7 per share if there is money left over from the note purchase.CompuCredit shares closed at $5.56 Wednesday and rose nearly 17% in the after-market session to $6.50. The 50-day average daily volume for CompuCredit is 100,000. On the other hand, Santarus (SNTS) should lose ground on above-average volume after the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware ruled that five patents covering Santarus' prescription products are invalid due to obviousness. Par Pharmaceutical (PRX) brought the lawsuit against Santarus. Santarus shares were plummeting by $2.28, or 42.5%, to $3.08 in Thursday's premarket session. The 50-day average daily volume for Santarus is 437,000. The Princton Review (REVU) was also poised to trade lower after the company announced an offering of 14 million common shares. After finishing Wednesday's session at $3.47, the stock fell 6.9% to $3.23 in late trading. The 50-day average daily volume for the Princeton Review is 63,000. -- Written by Robert Holmes in Boston.

The Monument Avenue 10k is known for being a fun event, featuring live bands, cheering spectators, and a costume contest for runners. The 10k is extremely popular with runners of all kinds, from elite runners to casual athletes. Crowds of spectators line the streets and fill the broad grass median of Monument Avenue. "it's the best people-watching opportunity Richmond has," according to Mike McCormick of Richmond Sports Backers, which organizes the 10k.

This spring, FedEx Express will ship two giant pandas from Chengdu, China, to their new home in Toronto.
FedEx Express will ship Er Shun, a 5-year-old female panda, and Da Mao, a 4-year-old male panda, via a dedicated charter flight on MD-11F aircraft, specially named the "FedEx Panda Express." Animal care experts from both China and Canada have been granted special flight privileges to accompany the pandas onboard the aircraft to ensure the animals' comfort and safety.
The pandas are tentatively scheduled to arrive in Canada in spring 2013, with the final date of delivery subject to final regulatory approvals.
A cooperative conservation agreement between Canada and China means Er Shun and Da Mao will spend five years at the Toronto Zoo, followed immediately by another five years at the Calgary Zoo in Alberta. It is the first time in 20 years that giant pandas have been loaned to a Canadian zoo.

Iberia cuts pilot pay, increases work hours
Spanish airline Iberia this week revealed a plan to cut pilots' salaries and increase their work hours, according to reports.
By reducing their pay scales by 12% and making them fly 900 hours a year vs. 820-850, the airline hopes to save about $81 million, Bloomberg Businessweek reported.
Iberia, which formed the International Airlines Group with British Airlines last year, has been battling with pilots over the launch of low-cost airline Iberia Express.
Iberia and IAG's management say the new airline will play a crucial role in competing with other budget European airlines such as Ryanair, Reuters reported.
RELATED: Iberia pilots strike, grounding 150 flights
ALSO ONLINE: Results take off for parent of British Air and Iberia
SEPLA, the pilots' union, has vowed to strike every Monday and Friday until July 20 to protest the new airline, which began flying last month, arguing that it will lead to worse working conditions and lower wages for pilots. The union says it breaches their work agreement and would cost 8,000 jobs at Iberia, AFP reported.
"The measures being proposed by Iberia will only affect the pilots, the only group with which -- after two-and-a-half years of negotiations -- we have not been able to reach a collective agreement," the airline said in a statement, according to Reuters.
ALSO ONLINE: Lufthansa flights hit by renewed strike effort
Ground staff and cabin crews will not be affected because they have already reached deals with the airline.
A string of 12 one-day pilot strikes in December, January and February forced the cancellation of about one-third of flights, AFP reported.
Iberia has been under pressure to make up for losses when its sister airline British Airways has been turning a profit. Bloomberg Businessweek said that Spanish labor law reforms introduced in February allow companies reporting losses or consecutive sales declines to break collective-bargaining agreements.

The ADM8843 uses charge pump technology to provide the power to drive up to four LEDs. The LEDs are used for back-lighting a color LCD display that has regulated constant current for uniform brightness intensity. The main display can use up to three LEDs, and the sub display uses one LED. The CTRL1 and CTRL2 digital input control pins control the shutdown opera-tion and the brightness of the main and sub displays.
To maximize power efficiency, the charge pump can operate in 1×, 1.5×, or 2× mode. The charge pump automatically switches among 1×/1.5×/2× modes, based on the input voltage, to maintain sufficient drive for the LED anodes at the highest power efficiency.
Improved brightness matching of the LEDs is achieved by a feedback pin that senses individual LED current with a typical matching accuracy of 0.3%.

Take Two for August 7, 2013
Is there a connection between Biogenesis and Latino MLB players?
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees during a game in 2012.
Baseball is all about statistics, and here's a surprising one: out of the 13 players who were suspended this week for drug use, all are Latino.
Since baseball started suspending major league players for performance-enhancing drugs, more than three-fourths of offenders were born in Latin-American countries.
To further explore the connection between steroid use and the Latino baseball community we turn to Mike Fish, investigative sports reporter for ESPN.

A word from your taxpaid sponsor
A correspondent just sent this to me, and it seemed the best thing to do with it is to post it here. I agree with every word:
I'd like to vent my spleen over something heard on the news this morning only I'm not sure which direction to vent.The fire in Dunedin apparently destroyed the offices of some people organising the "NZ Masters Games" (whatever that is). The bit that's got me going is that the sponsors of said games is "ACC Think Safe".What the hell is an organisation that gets its money by compulsion (read theft) doing giving it away in sponsorship to anything.Maybe if they didn't sponsor things or pay for endless ads on TV they could drop the rates to the poor bloody people paying it.It's enough to make you vote LIBERTARIANZ.Consider me half vented.
I'm delighted to have been a conduit for such a vent. Bravo!

Carl Gustav Putsch wanted to stand on his own two feet after completing his apprenticeship as blacksmith with his father. He therefore set up his own business in 1882 and forged carpenters' and farriers' pincers with two journeymen, 60 pieces per day. The other processes were also carried out in careful manual labour. The quality was sought after, the small enterprise grew. The next generations were able to build continuously on these foundations. We have remained an independent family-owned company up to the present day. A lot has changed since the first years. Over time, the workshop turned into a factory with modern machinery and continuously improving technology. New types of pliers and pioneering innovations were added. The number of supplied countries grew steadily. However, our fundamental principle has stayed in place: remain faithful to a product group, concentrate all strengths on it and be "simply the best" in pliers. Don't get side-tracked, instead create more performance and quality from less. This is what KNIPEX stands for as today's leading brand in pliers.

North Korea has urged its people to defend new leader Kim Jong-Un to the death and vowed an all-out push for prosperity, in a New Year state newspaper editorial setting out policy goals.
"The whole party, the entire army and all the people should possess a firm conviction that they will become human bulwarks and human shields in defending Kim Jong-Un unto death, and follow the great party for ever," it said.
Jong-Un, aged in his late 20s, was proclaimed the "great successor" after his father and longtime leader Kim Jong-Il died on December 17.
On Saturday the North announced he had formally been appointed supreme commander of the 1.2-million-strong military, the world's fourth-largest.
Sunday's editorial vowed to "consolidate" the armed forces and called for the United States to pull its 28,500 troops out of South Korea. But it said Pyongyang will "strive to develop relations of friendship with countries that respect our country's sovereignty".
The editorial, published in the ruling communist party newspaper Rodong Sinmun and other papers, stressed the role of the party, which was sidelined by Kim senior in favour of the military.
Policy agenda
The impoverished country has set the goal of becoming a "powerful and prosperous" nation this year.
The editorial, used every year to outline the policy agenda, did not mention the country's nuclear weapons programme, which has earned it international sanctions.
The editorial renewed criticism of the South's conservative government, saying the "traitors" failed to respect the mourning for Kim.
Seoul expressed sympathy to the North's people but not its regime and allowed just two private mourning delegations to visit Pyongyang.
Al Jazeera's Harry Fawcett, reporting from the South Korean capital, said: "In terms of the South Korea reaction, [there is] nothing official yet. President Myung-bak is expected to make a presidential speech on Monday.
"There has been an anonymous source quoted in local media [in Seoul] saying that the North Korean statement is less conciliatory than last year, showing no willingness to talk. "But that doesn't mean that the window for possible talks between the two countries has been closed."
The North, closing ranks publicly behind its new chief, has warned the world not to expect policy changes and has threatened South Korea for perceived disrespect during the 13-day mourning period for Kim Jong-Il.

Mix a violet-based toner with a number 10 developer in a plastic bowl, using a plastic spoon, in equal parts. Stir until the color is completely blended.
How to Turn Orange Highlights to Dark Blonde?
Chances are that if you highlight your hair for long enough, you will encounter the dreaded orange highlights. Fixing orange hair, usually called brassy hair, can be a challenge, but with a little work, you can turn your orange hair into a beautiful dark blond. If your hair is already the right shade but just too orange, you will need to tone it. If it is too light, you will need to tone and color it. If it is too dark, you will need to bleach and tone it.
Toning Orange Highlights
Apply to hair immediately, using your fingers or a dye brush, just over the highlighted areas. You do not need to be too exact with toner application, but avoid leaving toner for too long on hair that is very light, because it can tinge hair purple.
Allow the toner to sit on the hair for the length of time recommended by the manufacturer. Rinse toner completely out of hair. Shampoo and condition as you normally would.
Darkening and Toning Orange Hair
Mix a medium-toned dark blonde color with equal parts number 20 developer. Add a teaspoon of violet-based toner. The medium tone will help to counter-balance the orange. Avoid using an ashy tone if your highlights are platinum blond, because it can cause the hair to turn gray.
Apply the color to your highlights by placing a square of hair foil behind the section of hair and painting the section with the dye mix. Fold the foil around the hair. Continue until all of your highlights have been painted.
Allow the dye to sit on the hair for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse the dye out of the hair until the water runs clear.
Lightening and Toning Orange Hair
Mix equal parts powder bleach and number 20 developer in a plastic bowl. Blend until all of the lumps have been worked out of the mixture.
Apply the bleach to the highlights by wrapping each section of highlighter hair in a hair foil. Paint bleach onto the top half of the section of hair using a dye brush and close the foil. Allow this to sit for 20 minutes.
Open each foil and paint the remaining half of the hair with bleach. Allow this to sit for five to 10 more minutes, checking the hair frequently to determine if it is lightening adequately. Remove foils and rinse completely.
- 1
Tips & Warnings
- Perform a strand test on hair prior to applying dye or toner by painting a small section of hair and allowing it to sit for the recommended time. Adjust your time accordingly.

The Swiss like to remain neutral, but it's just very naive of them to believe that the Russians aren't going to "visit" them sooner or later, so I think the EF should kindly ask them to join the winning team.

President of the United States in 1962: Henry M. Jackson (Democrat-Washington)
The eu betrayed the british in their separate peace deal with russia remember? So, possibly The UK is not longer a member.
Were Greece and Turkey invaded by Russia? They would be good candidates. Could you organize some kind of coup in puppet Denmark or United Austria?
@Tanttu: The EF only has cores on its own territory, not on any other European countries.
@Petorius: Ireland and Britain did not join the EF because ingame they were not members of the European Union's alliance. Ireland was neutral in WW3, and Britain continued to fight on after the EU's peace treaty with Russia, as an ally of the USA. Britain therefore retained independence and Ireland is left to do its own thing, whatever that could be. I actually am thinking of using the unique British situation to have them perhaps forge their own path so to speak, like a Neo-Commonwealth after very nasty things start to happen to the USA.......
As for the Swiss: they were neutral in WW3 and neither the Russian's or the EF are going to dare to change that. Russia has no desire to do anything to Switzerland, and the EF is willing to respect the country's neutrality and maintain very positive relations with them.
@Mr. Santiago: Like Ireland, Malta was not an EU member ingame. Therefore they remained neutral.
@KcindX: The European Federation and the USA are not allies, at least not anymore. WW3 resulted in the death of the old NATO alliance system, now replaced by two different alliances, the Coalition (USA, UK, Canada, Australia, South Africa, etc) and the European Federation with its allies (Libya, Algeria, Sahrawi's, etc).
@red1: The Pro Western government of Turkey was overthrown by the Turkish military just before WW3. Turkey then aligned itself with the SCO and joined WW3 as a Russo-Chinese ally. The Turkish army fought alongside the Russians and their allies in the battle for Europe, with Turkish troops being instrumental to the defeat of NATO's balkan members. Greece was one of those, with their government forced to switch sides after the Greek mainland was overrun and the EU made peace with Russia, resulting in a pro SCO Greece.
@everyone else: Thanks for the comments!
First, in response to the comments about the lack of French representation in the EF's cabinet, I decided to load up quickly as the EF and do a cabinet shuffle for them, since I agreed that the EF should have had a lot more French political representation in its cabinet. Now, French ministers occupy the EF's foreign minister, security minister, and chief of navy positions.
Back in Japan, victory ceremonies all across the country continue. The Japanese regime has attained huge national political approval ratings, despite some of the more negative events of the war, such as the very brief occupation of Okinawa by Vietnamese troops, or the large Japanese casualties taken in some battles on the continent. Minor setbacks are completely forgotten in the elation of Japan's massive victory against two Eurasian superpowers, something that has resulted in Japan becoming the superior military and economic superpower in East Asia.
Now, with Japan's enemies in Asia vanquished, at least for now, the time has finally come to begin a new chapter in Japan's history. A huge victory rally is held outside of the Japanese imperial palace, attended by members of the Japanese regime as well as representatives from Japan's allies. There, the Emperor, who is starting to become more and more heavily involved in politics, declares the beginning of the 2nd Greater Japanese Empire, complete with the reintroduction of the old Imperial era Rising Sun flag.
Questions over the future of regions conquered by Japan over the previous decade are now settled with the declaration of Japan's new empire. Any rumours of Japan granting outright independence to some of these regions are put to rest when Japan announces its new system of overseas "protectorates": regions that will use local administration and law enforcement but with Japanese advisors and leaders present, including Japanese Governor Generals, appointed to each protectorate by the Emperor. These protectorates are also to be made Japanese sovereign territory, subject to Japanese colonial laws and regulations. In Japan's new northern mainland territories, 3 protectorates are established. These protectorates are the Beijing Protectorate, centered around the now ex-Chinese capital, the Manchuria Protectorate, and the Khabarovsk Protectorate, made up of former Russian territories that are now under Japanese control. Also note the establishment of Karafuto prefecture: the former Sakhalin island, now with its Japanese name and annexed as a home territory of Japan.
For Japan's new territories located along the pacific coast opposite of what was once the RoC, only one protectorate is established: the Fuzhou protectorate, administered from the major city of Fuzhou. Meanwhile, both Taiwan and Hong Kong are outright annexed by Japan, with Taiwan becoming Formosa Prefecture, and Hong Kong being given similar status as a permanent Japanese colony.
Finally, Indonesia, Malaya, and the Philippines: countries that had been under Japanese occupation for many years now, are upgraded to protectorate status. Malaysia, and western Indonesia are amalgamated into the West Indonesian Protectorate, while the other half of Indonesia is made the East Indonesian protectorate. These regions are now solidified as integral parts of Japan's new empire.
While crowds cheer in Tokyo over Japan's accomplishments in the war, overseas, news of Japan's imperial resurgence and creation of the protectorate system creates great tension. In the United States especially, this move causes a huge deterioration in Japan-US relations. Japan had been able to somewhat get away with its invasions of places like the Philippines by pledging that Japan was merely fighting to stamp out terrorist groups in east Asia, and had been promising the previous US administration of George W Bush that once Japan was comfortable enough with its security, it would grant independence to those countries it had conquered, a statement the US government believed, but notably many of its people had not. Now, there is no question any more of what Japan's true intentions had been all along, made especially clear when Japan refused any idea of allowing the old Government of the RoC to return to Taiwan and gain sovereignty over Japanese held territories in China. Japan also refuses similar demands by the USA to allow places like Indonesia or the Philippines to declare independence and once again become sovereign states.
In response to this, the US government begins to massively increase its military presence in the region. American aircraft carriers and their escorting ships start arriving in the massive US naval base at Guam, while garrisons in places like Hawaii and Alaska are massively increased. The US also reaffirms military support for places like Australia and New Zealand, and is even reported to be trying to court India into joining the Coalition alliance. It seems that once again, after many decades of peace, America and Japan are bound to come to blows at some point in the near future.
Finally, some quick IC comparisons due to popular demand. Of Japan's 5 country alliance, which also includes Singapore and the Republic of Vietnam, Japan is by far the most powerful, with almost 900 effective IC. Japan's two major allies, Korea and Thailand, have just about equal IC to each other, something which allows both states to be able to raise and maintain rather powerful militaries.
In the SCO's camp, Russia has taken the place of China with having the largest IC count of the group. China, which is still somewhat of a domestic basketcase, is however beginning to recover, as China's military Junta clamps down on dissension and begins to direct economic and military recovery.
For the Coalition, the USA dominates all of its other members in IC count, with over 1000 effective IC. Britain meanwhile has taken the role of the Coalitions 2nd in command, with about 200 effective IC.
Finally, the worlds remaining military/economic powers. The European Federation has through unification emerged as the worlds strongest economic power, with a huge IC count, something reflected by the EF's massive and technologically advanced military. India is also notable, now possessing a larger IC than China and highly confident militarily due to its victory over arch rival Pakistan in the shadow of World War 3. Finally, ECON alliance leader Iran possesses the largest effective IC count of its alliance, with almost 100 effective IC going towards maintaining Iran's powerful army.

So I'm guessing the Protectorates are like the US territories in 19th century?
Its going to be interesting to whether the US-Japanese War occurs first or the second round of the war against the SCO. My hunch is the latter will occur first, if only because every Japanese nationalist worth his salt is probably saying at the moment: "We must stretch from sea to frozen mountains..."
Happy days!
The Empire is back. Now, WW2 payback time on the Americans.

Nice Job!!!
I can commend on using the protectorate system as a great way to safeguard minority rights to everyone in the Empire, as well as keeping them unified with Tokyo. And I'm certainly glad that the Philippines is allowed to continue its path as a separate protectorate within the Empire.
Now another question has come to my miond, "Will the Japanese pursue world hegemony?"
P.S.: It'll be nice to see whether the Japan of this AAR can hold agianst the Russia of my AAR?

Also, I don't want to sound morbid but shouldn't Elizabeth II be passing on at some point? She is in her eighties and the war has probably been a particuarly easy time for her (I imagine the queen was active visiting troops, drumming up support for the war etc...) or anyone in the British government. Perhaps Charles could also have been hit by a stray rocket during the war (with this I finally sucumb to the lure of Kurt Steiner's and his ruthless slaughter of people I don't like), so that William V could have become King.

A couple weeks ago our friends at Survival Straps sent us a couple of their products to test out and review. If you are not familiar with Survival Straps, they specializes in creating survival bracelets that combine a unique look with a decent amount of paracord per strap (mine had around 11 feet). The paracord can then be unraveled and used for survival if you find yourself in need of it. We were told they are easy to wear, come in thousands of color combinations and can save your life. We decided to test them out to see if this proved to be true, continue reading for the full review.
The president of Survival Straps, Kurt, built the first strap at his kitchen table in 2007, since then they have mastered the art of the survival strap and send out tons of these products to loyal customers every week. Every piece of gear is custom made to order and is all made here in the United States. Another great thing about Survival Straps is that 50% of their proceeds from the Wounded Warrior Straps go directly to the Wounded Warrior project and their website states that to this date they have raised $418,000 for the cause. Lastly they stand by the fact that if you use your bracelet to survive, send them your story and they will replace your bracelet. This is a cool concept as it makes you less worried about unraveling your bracelet in survival situations as you will get another one if you do.
All of this history would be nothing though if the products did not perform, and I am excited to say that they really do. We took them on a 10 mile hike and they were comfortable, stylish (for an outdoorsman) and gave an added level of comfort due to the survival abilities that they had in grained in them.
We also unraveled one of the bracelets to see how much cord we could get out of it and whether the cord was as strong as they claimed that it was. There really is a lot of cord in that one bracelet. Some of the things their site says the straps have been used for are to make a tourniquet, tow a snowmobile, make a shelter and to save a life. They also have other products such as key chains, dog collars and even belts if you would like something different then the straps. I sense the belt really does have a lot of cord in it.
I really did enjoy using this product, the added bonus of having a snap away lock gave me a peace of mind when I was using it while climbing, and even if you don't want to wear it around your wrist you can easily hook it onto your pack so that you have it when needed. Cleaning the product is as simple as throwing it in the washing machine, just make sure not to put it into the dryer. We even unraveled the product to see how much cord we could get out of it. You can see the picture or watch the video to see it in action.

EPIX Battles In April And May! Live To U.S. On EPIX And EpixHD.com
Krasniqi (39-2, 15 KOs), a native of Serbia who fights out of Munich, Germany, is riding a seven-year, 38-bout winning streak. Only once has Krasniqi ever fought outside Germany -- in Prague, Czech Republic in 2010. He enters this fight having won his last four fights by knockout. Those victories also earned him the WBO European and WBO International light heavyweight crowns as well and his WBO mandatory challenger position.
Klitschko (59-3, 50 KOs), of Kiev, Ukraine, is a two-time world heavyweight champion. Klitschko began his first title reign in 2000 when he captured the WBO heavyweight title via a unanimous decision over defending champion Chris Byrd. Byrd suffered two knockdowns in that battle. Klitschko's two-year title reign included five successful defenses – all by knockout – before losing the belt to Corrie Sanders in 2003. Klitschko returned to the world championship throne in 2006, this time as IBF champion, when he dethroned Chris Byrd in a title rematch. This victory was even more emphatic than the first one with Klitschko stopping Byrd in the seventh round. Since that fight, Klitschko has taken on and defeated all comers while unifying the title with victories over WBO champion Sultan Ibragimov, and WBA champion David Haye. He enters this fight riding a nine-year, 16-bout winning streak. Last year he successfully defended his titles three times -- a fourth-round knockout of former two-time world champion Jean Marc Mormeck on March 3, and a sixth-round stoppage of mandatory challenger Tony Thompson on July 7. He finished the year with a 12-round unanimous decision victory over previously undefeated Mariusz Wach on November 10. All three title defenses were televised live to the U.S. by EPIX.
Pianeta (28-0-1, 15 KOs), is a native of Italy who fights out of Gelsenkirchen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. An eight-year professional, Pianeta, 28, is an inspiring story having survived a bout of testicular cancer. After surgery in late 2009, the 6'5 southpaw returned to the ring one year later, knocking out Mike Middleton in the first round. His resume boasts a one-year reign as the European Union heavyweight champion, which included three successful title defenses, and victories over former heavyweight champion Oliver McCall and four-time heavyweight title challenger Frans Botha. In his last fight on November 16, Pianeta knocked out Nelson Dario Dominguez (14-1-1) in the first round. He is currently world-rated No. 8 by the WBO.

How to Use Than and Then
Two Methods:Grammar HelpUsing Then and Than
Many times people misuse the words "than" and "then." Whether it's because the words are pronounced similarly in some areas or because people simply don't know the difference between them, it is important to know in which situations to choose each word. Follow this guide below, and then you'll be using these words better than anyone you know!
Grammar Help
Using Then and Than
1Use than as a word indicating comparison. When you are talking about a noun (thing, person, place or concept) being more, less, better, cooler, dumber, etc. in relation to another noun, the word than is necessary.Ad
2Use then as a word indicating time. When you want to tell about a sequence of events or are giving instructions in a step-by-step order, the word then is necessary.
- First there were four, and then there were two.
- Wash the clothes, then put them in the dryer.
3Pronounce the words differently. Both words contain one gliding vowel, and they are similar. Phonetically speaking, native speakers of English use the schwa (ǝ, kind of like a soft "eh" sound) because it's more efficient and allows words to be slurred together quickly in daily conversations. Consequently, lots of "a"s and "e"s are not pronounced distinctly.
- Than is said with the mouth opened widely and the tongue pressed down toward the teeth. The vowel sounds from the back of the mouth and the throat is somewhat constricted.
- Then is more said with the mouth partially opened. The vowel rises from a relaxed throat and the tongue rests.
4Test your usage. Ask yourself these questions when you're writing a sentence:
- If I write the word next instead of then, will the sentence still make sense?
- If I write the phrase in comparison to instead of than, will the sentence still make sense?
- It costs more in comparison to a new car makes sense, so you'd want to say It costs more than a new car.
- You'll never guess what happened to me in comparison to does not make sense at all. Now you'll know you want to say You'll never guess what happened to me then!
- If I write the word next instead of then, will the sentence still make sense?
5Recognize incorrect examples and learn from the mistakes.
- Wrong: I'm a better speller then you!
- Wrong: I feel that astrophysics is less interesting then horticulture.
- Wrong: She is going to stop to get snacks, than we'll go to the library together.
- Wrong: Our parents used to go out to eat every now and than.
- Right: Learn grammar rules. Then you will be smarter than your average bear.
6Practice frequently. Pay attention when you write essays or letters. Use instant messages, e-mails and text messages to practice your good spelling skills (rather than as an opportunity to neglect them). You never know when you'll have to use one of those communication methods for something important!Ad
We could really use your help!
small business?
wedding dresses?
- The simplest mnemonic is that "then" is a time word equivalent to "when," so they are both spelled with an "e."
- Another possible mnemonic aid is is that "then" and "time" both have the letter "e" but not the letter "a," and "than" and "comparison" both have the letter "a," but not the letter "e."
- People tend to misuse then more than than. Than mistakes listed above may look strange or grossly incorrect; however, the then mistakes may seem more acceptable. Pay special attention to then and its uses.
- There are instances in which than can be used when time is the general idea of the sentence or phrase. As an example: "Paul was later than Mary." The in comparison to substitution is a good test here to verify that than is correctly used in this sentence.

Home Movies, Fine Dining in Santa Clarita, and more - Off-Ramp 10-9-10
Home Movie Day

Have any old home movies lying around? Wondering what's on them? On Saturday, October 16 you can finally have a look.
It's called Home Movie Day and it's taking place in both Echo Park and Culver City. The public is welcome to bring over their home movies--almost any format will do--and have them projected onto the big screen. And if you don't have any films, it's free to come and you can see what other people have left in their closets all these years. Off-Ramps Kevin Ferguson talked with festival organizers Brian Drischell and Sean Savage. You can go to the Home Movie Day website for show times and directions.

Exterior view of Colcha in Venice Beach, California (above)
So as of late, every time I am in Venice I find myself wandering into this wonderful home furnishing store...Colcha.
Right in the heart of all things cool in Venice on Abbot Kinney, Colcha is an amazingly well edited home furnishings and accessories shop with an array of original and stylish finds for the home. Wonderful pillows, unique furniture and an array of chic accessories, makes this store a playground of sorts filled with delights for anyone who is interested decor.
Three things about Colcha:
1. Do not take a guy to Colcha - Men don't understand what happens to women when they encounter a shop filled with beautiful decor delights. Two different times, I have taken men (one guy I liked and one who is a friend) to Colcha. Each time, I have literally left these poor fellows standing dumbfounded in the middle of the store by themselves, as I dashed about touching, caressing, examining, admiring, and commenting on everything in the store. Twice now, I have been tapped on the shoulder by a guy who said "I am leaving" and twice, I've looked at these guys and said "Okay"...completely content to be left in Colcha zigging and zagging about the store. Sorry guys!
2. They know how to flatter at Colcha/good place for an ego boost - On my first visit to Colcha, Lauren who works there found out that I had a blog from my friend CB. Lauren proceeded to call over the owner of Colcha, Sue Cowie, and say "Oh my gosh, Sue this is Coco. She has that great blog Cococozy. The one I was showing you today. Your blog is beautiful". Last time I was in Colcha, Sue herself said, "I was just on your blog this morning." Love Sue and Lauren! :-)
3. They have a cool collection of John Robshaw bedding at Colcha (see below) - Love John Robshaw (ikats, block prints fashioned on prints from around the world)...love the selection of bedding at Colcha.
Casamidy Opera Side Chair - $975 (From Casamidy's Varenne line. White leather and white metal frame) (above)
Archival Decor Pillows - $245 for 24x24 (Pillows are constructed of hemp on the front panel, cotton velvet on the back panel. Filling is a down and feather blend. Images are screen printed on the front panel with a very dark sepia brown, water based ink.) (above and below)
Rope Table Lamp - $395 (above/below)
John Robshaw Bedding collection (above and below)
If you are ever in Venice...this store is a "must stop by"...here's the info:
Colcha Home
Sue Cowie
1416 Abbot Kinney Boulevard
Venice, California 90291
By the way, I LOVE that Casamidy chair...it's been around for awhile but it never gets old...also love the Louis XIV Chair in the Varenne Line too...modern classics!

LA JOLLA, CA-May 13, 2010
Synthetic Genomics, Inc. (SGI), a privately held company applying genomic-driven commercial solutions to a variety of global challenges including energy and the environment, today announced that James Flatt, Ph.D. will join the company as Chief Technology Officer (CTO), effective May 19, 2010. In his new role as CTO, Flatt will be responsible for managing and coordinating all the innovative science programs at SGI. He will report directly to J. Craig Venter, Ph. D., SGI Founder and CEO.
"I am very pleased to have Jim join us as CTO as he brings nearly three decades of experience in turning scientific advances into products," said Dr. Venter. "Specifically, his expertise in the biofuels arena, his knowledge of microalgae-derived nutrition and food products and his sound scientific background will be a tremendous asset to SGI as we move toward future product development in these and other areas," said Dr. Venter.
Flatt joins SGI from Mascoma Corporation, where he had been employed since 2007. There he served as EVP of Research and Development and Operations and Acting President in the second half of 2009. Flatt lead a team of nearly 70 scientists and engineers who were dedicated to scientific discovery, bacterial and yeast strain development and metabolic engineering, as well as bioprocess research, process development and engineering. He oversaw the team responsible for the engineering, construction and operation of a pilot cellulosic ethanol facility.
Before joining Mascoma Corporation, Flatt was the SVP of Research for Martek Biosciences since 2000. His responsibilities included all aspects of product and process development, clinical research, scientific affairs, new product discovery, and intellectual property development associated with products derived from microalgae. Prior to this Flatt was the VP of Research and Development of Omegatech, Inc from 2000 to 2002, a company that was acquired by Martek in April 2002.
Flatt received a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin, a Master of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from University of California, Berkeley and a Bachelor of Science degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

High Yield Dividend Stocks Setting New Yearly Highs
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Pushing aside the regressiveness of dividend double taxation, along with the upcoming increase in the tax, many investors will continue to allocate portfolio capital to yield-based stocks.
After all, high taxes or low taxes, as investors we still want to make money. Historically, dividend-paying stocks have performed well. There are some recent notable exceptions to the rule though. Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) comes to mind rather quickly.
HP isn't a rising stock paying a large dividend though, and that's what separates the zeroes from the heroes in my opinion.
When I examine stocks that pay large dividends, I want to avoid the "yield-traps" and stick with companies that are solid fundamentally. Take a look at these winners in both share price and dividend yield. CAG Dividend Yield data by YCharts
Conagra Fooods (CAG) Background: ConAgra Foods has transformed itself into an industry-leading, branded and value-added food company. 52-Week Range: $23.64 to $28.80* Book Value: $11.22 Price To Book: 2.5 Earnings Payout Percentage: 63% ConAgra currently has an annualized dividend of $1 with a yield of about 3.5%. After announcing a large special dividend and buyout, shares jumped higher. ConAgra is a great stock, but don't chase this one higher. Wait for profit-taking and a lower price (less than $29) before entering.
Eight of 15 analysts now rate the company a hold while seven recommend buying and no analysts recommend selling. For a company analysts are mostly rating a hold, the stock really appreciated, gaining more than 20% in the last year, and consensus analyst target price is $30.17. Watch for rising price targets if shares maintain the $30 price range after the ex-dividend date. The last reported short interest is paltry and only 1.6% of the average trading float. The relative payout percentage of earnings towards dividends is small enough to consider the dividend safe. CAG Payout Ratio TTM data by YCharts

Technology reporter Stanley A. Miller II tracks news and trends, from the coolest new gadgets to the latest stuff on the Web
'Lord of the Rings: War in the North' video
"Lord of the Rings: War in the North," an action game based on the Tolkien treasure, begins its fellowship next month. But you can get a glimpse of the hacking, slashing and spell-slinging in the game now, compliments of the video below.
The vignette shows off a boss battle with a Barrow-wight Lord, a rather unpleasant wraith-like hostile inhabiting Middle-earth. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Snowblind Studios, which are releasing the game, are heavily promoting the cooperative elements in the game, which let up to three players team up online and adventure together. Honestly, the video doesn't wow me. Granted, the fight unfolds in a gloomy tomb, but the visuals look pretty washed out.
Still, "War in the North" promises to put players in a key piece of story immersed in the details within the books and various appendices, and that's pretty appealing. The game comes out for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows on Nov. 1.

- From acorn-fed, free-range pigs
- True 'pata negra', the finest ham in the world
- Thinly sliced, melts in your mouth
- Full, unparalleled rich flavor
- Cured for over two years
- Size - 3 ounces
Jamón Ibérico de Bellota is the world's finest ham. Free-range, acorn-fed Ibérico pigs live a life in pastoral paradise, and their hams are cured for two years in the mountains of Spain. We then slice the hams here in the U.S. so that you have the freshest, most flavorful slices for your home.
Serve your jamón at on a warm plate with crusty bread and a fine wine. You will be able to see that it is truly 'bellota' by the way the mono-unsaturated fat glistens on each slice of ham.
These slices of Jamón Ibérico de Bellota come from the ham, or back leg, of an acorn fed Ibérico pig. Indigenous black Ibérico pigs roam the ancient woodlands of southwestern Spain feasting on the sweet 'encina' acorns, along with grasses and other herbs. This combination of special animals, exercise, diet and two years of curing in the mountain air all combine to make this the finest ham in the world.
Careful curing is essential for a great ham. For two years the hams experience the changing seasons and lose over 40% of their weight as a profound chemical change transforms the pork into a complex concert of flavors. The resulting hams have an intense deep red color and a sweet, nutty flavor with very little saltiness compared to Serrano ham. The mono-unsaturated fats literally melt in your mouth, the true sign of a Bellota ham.
The acorn diet of these Ibérico pigs is what distinguishes it from normal Jamón Ibérico, which is also free-range and cured for two years, but does not have the same acorn flavored fat.
Iberico de Bellota pork, salt and seasoning (sugar, trisodium citrate, potassium nitrate and sodium nitrite). USDA inspected.

Robert Mayer - Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts
"This jamon makes grown men cry!"
MICHAEL Swindle - New Orleans, LA
"Saltier than other iberico bollota I've had in Spain; a bit too salty for my tastes. The texture however was excellent, giving that melts in your mouth sensation"
richard mamelok - PALO ALTO, CA
"Delish! Sliced a little too thick for our intended purpose (burrata salad with chiffonade of green & opal basil, balsamico condimento, EVO. Wonderful never-the-less."
David Gelfand - OAKLAND, CA
"The Jamon Iberico de Bellota was the highlight of the party. Melts in your mouth with a slight sweet taste. We'll order it again!"
Matt Booth - BOISE, ID
Sheila Stotler - Scottsdale, AZ
"Wish it wasn't so good-then my grandson wouldn't continue to drive me nuts so often to order more!"
Jacquelyn Sweeney Ash - Amelia Courthouse, VA
Luis Kolb - Fremont, California
"an amazing, although super-expensive, luxury, whether in the US or in Spain. But a little goes a long long way, and it is worth it for our guests who have never EVER tasted any ham like this before "
Mary Ann Lizondo - Alexandria, Virginia
"very good,melts in your mouth."
ptpapa - el dorado hills, California
Mario Flores - Hampton cove, Alabama
"Fabulous as always."
JDW - Mooresville, North Carolina
JRosado - Smithtown, New York
"Too salty, nothing like the one I had in Seville & Malaga. "
Rey - Tampa, Florida
"It's meant to have fat on it and it's sliced thin as it's not a slice of water-filled VA ham, but something with a strong taste of the acorns the pigs eat. Nevertheless, this is not a very good brand of this type of jamón. There are far better brands for this fabulous food and I don't know why our Dept. of Agriculture makes it so difficult to import Spanish meats which are clearly safe so that La Tienda could offer a wider variety."
Jan Hartman - Nashville, Tennessee
"Too much fat, very salty and the cut is too slim"
KARIM LOUIS ASSOUAD - Dallas, Texas
"The very best"
Ben Wheeler - Brooklyn, New York
"I found the Jamon Ibérico de Bellota very tasty, but no way worth the price that was charged. "
rob noller
"Deep, bold flavor and sumptuous texture. Very rich, a little goes a long way."
Victor Hazan
"Excellent!!!! Also try some of there chorizos and Black Blood Sausages!!! Great for soups!!"
"What an incredible treat. The Jamon Iberico was a gift and the recipient said that it was even better than he remembered when he had it in Spain."
"This was the best sliced jamon I have ever tasted!"
"The jamon is wonderful. Will definitley order more as this is going quickly! Only problem was the carrier must have left the carton in direct sun because the cooling pack was quite warm and the fat had melted as one would expect. Kinda messy, but we worked around that issue!"
"This ham has a velvety mouth appeal to it. It is so soft and smooth in texture one might be fooled with their eyes closed that they are even eating meat. Absolutely no stringiness to the meat whatsoever. The taste was also quite good, I could discerne no smokey taste at all, nor was there any overpowering acorn flavor one might have expected. Likes and dislikes are a very personal thing. I also purchased the Sliced Lomo Iberico de Bellota (also reviewed) which I prefered over this choice. This Jamon Iberica is probably the finest tasting aged ham I have ever had, however the mouth appeal was just not my bag. A matter of personal choice only. Overall, this is a wonderful product that delivers as promised."

"But at $200.00 per pound I will do without."
"This is delicious -- and we can't get it anywhere else, so thank goodness for La Tienda!"

"Outstanding product"
"was told by my son who had a business in Spain for 5 years that this was his favorite, is mine now, so creamy"
"Simply the best!"
"Rrrrrrrich, full of depth and delicious. A rrrrrrare treat! "
"This is the ham with which I fell in love in Spain. It was a rich, nutty and wonderful woodsy flavor, and unlike other cured hams is not overpoweringly salty. Until you try it you cannot appreciate how truly delicious it is. There are no domestic hams that replicate this flavor as I have tried to find one with no luck. A unique culinary experience!"
