Fagor Futuro 5-Pc. Pressure Cooker Set is rated out of 5 by 1.Rated 5 out of 5 by KENT & MICKI B from Love my Futuro set! It's nice having 2 sizes to choose from. I did find that you must start the pressure on high to get the seal and then turn down to cook. When I only went up to med. steam was still escaping around handle which meant it wasn't hot enough to make the indicator pop up to seal.Date published: 2011-03-17

Klemperer's classic Beethoven Symphony Cycle: The final set, Nos 7-9
"The performance is as great as anything one is likely to hear in this world" - The Gramophone
REVIEW Beethoven Symphony No. 9
Here is the much anticipated Klemperer Ninth. So many readers will have heard him conduct this in the concert hall or on the radio, or will at any rate know his way with Beethoven from other records, that it seems hardly necessary to describe the result in much detail - it is so obviously going to be a great Beethoven interpretation. And so, indeed, it is, with the Columbia technical staff all out, too, to make the result a success.
But although we may know conductor and orchestra, there are two less predictable participants in this perfonnance, the soloists and the Philharmonia Chorus (who here make their debut on records). Soloists, bless their hearts (or, curse them, according to your mood) are seldom predictable. The best known of this quartet is Hans Hotter, a fine singer and artist indeed, but singing his opening recitative in a manner that will distress many sensitive ears. I f only, one feels, he had concentrated less on expressing the message of the words and more on singing each note well in tune, for he pushes some very sharp. Later, when he is mainly engaged in quartet work, his contribution is excellent.
The rest are efficient without being remarkable, good enough, at any rate, not to let things down. The soprano, Aase Nordmo Løvberg, does her difficult job pretty well, though she tends to force the pace a bit at the start and her final top B is precise rather than particularly beautifulnothing like Schwarzkopf's in her performance with Furtwangler. Christa Ludwig fills her less exacting role well and Waldemar Kmentt is perfectly adequate, if not remarkable. Whether he has a ringing top B flat, by the way, one cannot tell, for the chorus covers him when he should come out with it.
The Philharmonia Chorus is splendid. Bright tone, incisive attack, boundless energy and all the sustained power you could wish for- the sopranos' long f f top A at the end of "der ganzen Welt" section is as thrilling as the subsequent pp chords from the whole chorus ("muss ein lieber Vater wohnen").
I said that there was little need to describe Klemperer's interpretation, but that will not prevent me, like Saki's boring Stephen Thorle, from doing so! It is a performance which leaves you at the end with the feeling that every performance of the Ninth should give, that you have been through a spiritual experience of overwhelming greatness. It is of a quality that I think no other living conductor could give. And, different as Klemperer is from Toscanini, the two have certain things in common. The astonishing attention to detail, the gift ofilluminating the significance of some detail of orchestration that had escaped one's attention before: and (which I think Klemperer has in even greater degree) the achievement of an orchestral balance that gives lucidity of a kind rarely heard. (Those close-packed imitative entries in the first movement, bars 427 to 452, have surely never been so clearly heard.)
The first movement is immensely powerful, but impressed me most of all by the way Klemperer seizes upon and conveys the essential atmosphere of every part of it, especially those pp passages of indescribable mystery. The Scherzo, with the Philharmonia playing the softest sections with astonishing delicacy, may seem a little steady and cautious in comparison with other conductors' performances, but it is, in fact, taken at about Beethoven's metronome mark. (Weingartner's speed was only slightly faster, but Toscanini's a good deal more so and gave, therefore, an entirely different feeling to the whole movement.) But Klemperer is a great respecter of the score and, by the way, is one of the few to observe the repeat of the second section of this movement. The slow movement, with a wonderfully rapt meaa voce from the strings, is surely all that one could wish for and a momentary lapse of ensemble between violas and woodwind at one point is insignificant beside the satisfying beauty of all the playing.
This, then is a great experience to hear.
TH, The Gramophone, November 1958 (Review of first LP issue)
The Klemperer 9th in stereo at last -months after its scheduled release date and a full year after its mono issue. Readers may speculate as to why those who have been enterprising enough to equip them.selves into a stereo set-up should have been made to wait so long. However, I hope they have not given in and bought the mono records, for the stereo is undoubtedly much superior and it is, in fact, the sort of recording of this work I have been waiting for.
I put on the finale straightway (on the principle that we all know E.M.I. can record an orchestra well enough) and immediately began to think that this sounded more like a real performance than any record of a choral work I had ever heard. All the adjectives with which everyone describes stereo came to mind (I'm sure you know them by now) and the advantage in the reproduction of this array of soloists, chorus and orchestra is great indeed.
Direct comparison with the mono sound was difficult because the two are recorded at very different levels (the stereo lower) and one had to keep finding an equal volume before any true judgment of the impact of the chorus or the climaxes was possible. But my main impression was of the way the stereo sound laid out the forces before me in a wide arc, with the orchestra more consistently clear against the chorus than ever before. This spaciousness of the music is the greatest gain.
Balance is very good, though sometimes different from that of the mono records. For a year I have been going about saying that nobody makes the trumpets ring out in the choral part of the 6/8 section as Klemperer does and how wonderful that is. Well, he doesn't in stereo! And what he really does one could only discover by hearing a live performance. Which just shows how much we are at the mercy of the technicians.
The performance is as great as anything one is likely to hear in this world. If I criticised any points in my earlier review, they were of little account in relation to the whole---except, perhaps, Hotter's singing of his opening passage. (If only Columbia had D.G.G.'s Fischer-Dieskau).
Readers should notice that this stereo recording takes four sides and that the Egmont side of the mono has disappeared. When I consider the quality of what we are given and compare it with the lack of quality in D.G.G.'s three-sided version, I can't really regret the Egmont loss. There is absolutely no question of which to choose between the two, for both immensity of performance and fineness of recording.
TH, The Gramophone, December 1959 (Review of first stereo LP issue)
Notes on the recordings:
As with the previous releases in this series, I came to the original EMI recordings full of admiration. Consistently well-made and of this highest technical quality for their era, one wonders what benefits might arise from applying XR remastering to them? And then I hear the results - and suddenly those 1950s recordings don't sound so good after all in comparison! This is therefore a project dedicated to extracting the finest sound possible from a very accomplished working base. It is something I believe is as valid for well-known, well-made recordings of the past as it is for the rarer and more troublesome recordings I also work with.
This presents Klemperer at his very best; he can now be heard in unprecedented sound quality, significantly improving on all previous issues.

Otto Klemperer
Biographical notes from Wikipedia
Otto Klemperer (14 May 1885 – 6 July 1973) was a German conductor and composer. He is widely regarded as one of the leading conductors of the 20th century.
Otto Klemperer was born in Breslau, Silesia Province, then in Germany (now Wrocław, Poland), as a son of Nathan Klemperer, a native of Prague, Bohemia (today's Czech Republic). Klemperer studied music first at the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt, and later at the Stern Conservatory in Berlin under James Kwast and Hans Pfitzner. He followed Kwast to three institutions and credited him with the whole basis of his musical development. In 1905 he met Gustav Mahler while conducting the off-stage brass at a performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 2, Resurrection. He also made a piano reduction of the second symphony. The two men became friends, and Klemperer became conductor at the German Opera in Prague in 1907 on Mahler's recommendation. Mahler wrote a short testimonial, recommending Klemperer, on a small card which Klemperer kept for the rest of his life. Later, in 1910, Klemperer assisted Mahler in the premiere of his Symphony No. 8, Symphony of a Thousand.
Klemperer went on to hold a number of positions, in Hamburg (1910–1912); in Barmen (1912–1913); the Strasbourg Opera (1914–1917); the Cologne Opera (1917–1924); and the Wiesbaden Opera House (1924–1927). From 1927 to 1931, he was conductor at the Kroll Opera in Berlin. In this post he enhanced his reputation as a champion of new music, playing a number of new works, including Janáček's From the House of the Dead, Schoenberg's Erwartung, Stravinsky's Oedipus rex, and Hindemith's Cardillac.
In 1933, once the Nazi Party had reached power, Klemperer, who was Jewish, left Germany and moved to the United States. Klemperer had previously converted to Catholicism, but returned to Judaism at the end of his life. In the U.S. he was appointed Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. He took United States citizenship in 1937. In Los Angeles, he began to concentrate more on the standard works of the Germanic repertoire that would later bring him greatest acclaim, particularly the works ofBeethoven, Brahms and Mahler, though he gave the Los Angeles premieres of some of fellow Los Angeles resident Arnold Schoenberg's works with the Philharmonic. He also visited other countries, including England and Australia. While the orchestra responded well to his leadership, Klemperer had a difficult time adjusting to Southern California, a situation exacerbated by repeated manic-depressive episodes, reportedly as a result of severe cyclothymic bipolar disorder. He also found that the dominant musical culture and leading music critics in the United States were largely out of sympathy with his Weimar modernism and he felt he was not properly valued.
Klemperer hoped for a permanent position as lead conductor in New York or Philadelphia. But in 1936 he was passed over in both - first in Philadelphia, where Eugene Ormandy succeeded Leopold Stokowski at the Philadelphia Orchestra, and then in New York, where Arturo Toscanini's departure left a vacancy at the New York Philharmonicbut John Barbirolli and Artur Rodzinski were engaged in preference to Klemperer. The New York decision was particularly galling, as Klemperer had been engaged to conduct the first fourteen weeks of the New York Philharmonic's 1935-6 season. Klemperer's bitterness at this decision was voiced in a letter he wrote to Arthur Judson, who ran the orchestra: "that the society did not reengage me is the strongest offense, the sharpest insult to me as artist, which I can imagine. You see, I am no youngster. I have a name and a good name. One could not use me in a most difficult season and then expell me. This non-reengagement will have very bad results not only for me in New York but in the whole world... This non-reengagement is an absolutely unjustified wrong done to me by the Philharmonic Society."
Then, after completing the 1939 Los Angeles Philharmonic summer season at the Hollywood Bowl, Klemperer was visiting Boston and was diagnosed with a brain tumor; the subsequent brain surgery to remove "a tumour the size of a small orange" left him partially paralyzed. He went into a depressive state and was placed in institution; when he escaped, The New York Times ran a cover story declaring him missing, and after being found in New Jersey, a picture of him behind bars was printed in the Herald Tribune. Though he would occasionally conduct the Philharmonic after that, he lost the post of Music Director. Furthermore, his erratic behavior during manic episodes made him an undesirable guest to US orchestras, and the late flowering of his career centered in other countries.
After World War II, Klemperer returned to Europe to work at the Budapest Opera (1947–1950). Finding Communist rule in Hungary increasingly irksome, he became an itinerant conductor, guest conducting the Royal Danish Orchestra, Montreal Symphony Orchestra, Cologne Radio Symphony Orchestra, Concertgebouw Orchestra, and thePhilharmonia of London.
In the early 1950s Klemperer experienced difficulties arising from his U.S. citizenship. American union policies made it difficult for him to record in Europe, while his left wing views made him increasingly unpopular with the State Department and FBI: in 1952 the United States refused to renew his passport. In 1954 Klemperer again returned to Europe, and acquired a German passport.
His career was turned around in 1954 by the London-based producer Walter Legge, who recorded Klemperer in Beethoven, Brahms and much else with his hand-picked orchestra, the Philharmonia, for the EMI label. He became the first principal conductor of the Philharmonia in 1959. He settled in Switzerland. Klemperer also worked at theRoyal Opera House Covent Garden, sometimes stage-directing as well as conducting, as in a 1963 production of Richard Wagner's Lohengrin. He also conducted Mozart'sThe Magic Flute there in 1963.
A severe fall during a visit to Montreal forced Klemperer subsequently to conduct seated in a chair. A severe burning accident further paralyzed him, which resulted from his smoking in bed and trying to douse the flames with the contents of a bottle of spirits of camphor nearby. Through Klemperer's problems with his health, the tireless and unwavering support and assistance of Klemperer's daughter Lotte was crucial to his success.
One of his last concert tours was to Jerusalem. Klemperer had performed in Palestine before the state of Israel declared its independence, and returned to Jerusalem only in 1970 to conduct the Israeli Broadcasting Authority Symphonic Orchestra in two concerts, performing the six Brandenburg Concerti of Bach, and Mozart's symphonies 39, 40 and 41. During this tour he took Israeli citizenship. He retired from conducting in 1971.
Klemperer died in Zürich, Switzerland in 1973, aged 88, and was buried in Zürich's Israelitischer Friedhof-Oberer Friesenberg. In his later years, he had become increasingly worried about the influence of Jewish fundamentalism in Israel, and about Israel's foreign policies.
He was an Honorary Member (HonRAM) of the Royal Academy of Music.
His son, Werner Klemperer, was an actor and became known for his portrayal of Colonel Klink on the US television show Hogan's Heroes. The diarist Victor Klemperer was a cousin; so were Georg Klemperer and Felix Klemperer, who were famous physicians.
Klemperer is less well known as a composer, but he wrote a number of pieces, including six symphonies, a Mass, nine string quartets, many lieder and the opera Das Ziel. He seldom performed any of these himself and they have generally fallen into neglect since his death, although his works have received the occasional commercial recording.
Many listeners associate Klemperer with slow tempos, but recorded evidence now available on compact disc shows that in earlier years his tempi could be quite a bit faster; the late recordings give a misleading impression. For example, one of Klemperer's most noted performances was of Beethoven's Symphony No. 3, Eroica. Eric Grunin'sEroica Project contains tempo data on 363 recordings of the work from 1924–2007, and includes 10 by Klemperer - some recorded in the studio, most from broadcasts of live concerts. The earliest Klemperer performance on tape was recorded in concert in Köln in 1954 (when he was 69 years old); the last was in London with the New PhilharmoniaOrchestra in 1970 (when he was 85). The passing years show a clear trend with respect to tempo: as Klemperer aged, he took slower tempi. In 1954, his first movement lasts 15:18 from beginning to end; in 1970 it lasts 18:41. In 1954 the main tempo of the first movement was about 135 beats per minute, in 1970 it had slowed to about 110 beats per minute. In 1954, the Eroica second movement, "Funeral March", had a timing of 14:35; in 1970, it had slowed to 18:51. Similar slowings took place in the other movements. Around 1954, Herbert von Karajan flew especially to hear Klemperer conduct a performance of the Eroica, and later he said to him: "I have come only to thank you, and say that I hope I shall live to conduct the Funeral March as well as you have done".
Similar, if less extreme, reductions in tempi can be noted in many other works for which Klemperer left multiple recordings, at least in recordings from when he was in his late 70s and his 80s. For example:
(a) the Symphony No. 38 ("Prague") of Mozart, another Klemperer specialty. In his concert recording from December 1950 (when he was 65 years old) with theRIAS Berlin Orchestra the timings are I. 9:45 (with repeat timing omitted; the performance actually does take the repeat); II. 7:45; and III. 5.24. In his studio March, 1962 recording of the same work with the Philharmonia (recorded when he was 77 years old), the timings are notably slower: I. 10:53 (no repeat was taken); II. 8.58; III. 6:01. Unlike the late Eroica, the 1962 Prague is not notably slow; rather, the 1950 recording is much faster than most recordings of the work, even by "historically informed" conductors.
(b) The Anton Bruckner Symphony no. 4 (Haas edition with emendations). A 1947 concert recording with Concertgebouw Orchestra has timings of I. 14:03; II. 12:58; III. 10:11; and IV. 17.48. The studio recording with the Philharmonia from 1963 has timings of I. 16:09; II; 14:00; III. 11.48; IV. 19:01. Again, the 1963 is not a notably slow performance, but the 1947 was quick. The March 1951 recording with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra was even quicker: I. 13:26; II. 11:56; III. 9:22; IV. 16:30.
(c) The Mahler Symphony No. 7, recorded by Angel Records."Thus, as you listen to this performance, it seems... to enclose you within its own world of evocative sound, a world that echoes... the world we may know, but remains a world transformed by imagination, remote, and complete within itself."
Regardless of tempo, Klemperer's performances often maintain great intensity. Eric Grunin, in a commentary on the "opinions" page of his Eroica Project, notes: "....The massiveness of the first movement of the Eroica is real, but is not its main claim on our attention. That honor goes to its astonishing story (structure), and what is to me most unique about Klemperer is that his understanding of the structure remains unchanged no matter what his tempo..."

Pros: Having a whole box I can eat three at a time or share with friends I always keep them on hand. They don't expire (before I eat them).
Cons: A little pricy this way but worth it. I have found them for less but they were not as fresh.
I had one at a gas station late one night and kept going back just to buy them. Now I buy 4 boxes a month and eat every one. they are so good and healthy too!
Pros: They are easy to eat. Taste great! Good for you.
Cons: One in a while a box will come and they are stuck together but they still taste good.
These are fabulous and not bad for you either :~)) ...They're great for a quick snack or anytime. We are thoroughly enjoying them. Try them you won't be disappointed.

Lost Girl Review: Nightmaresby Carla Day at . Comments
Unfortunately, there was just something off about "Scream a Little Dream," but it wasn't in a bad way. Because Dyson has lost his love for Bo, there are bound to be changes in the show's dynamics and this episode epitomized all of those.
I'm not sure whether to say it was a disappointing or brilliant hour of television. Opposite sides of the spectrum for sure, but here's the thing - I didn't like it. This hour was missing everything I love about Lost Girl. Yet, it was brilliant in showing us what is so good about the show... by making those aspects absent.
No real Dyson. I missed him ... very much! The nightmare scenes did nothing to ease my sadness that he wasn't there; if anything, it compounded my reaction. The Bo-Dyson relationship has been an integral component of the series. Whether they were fighting or loving, they complemented each other perfectly. Bo, Dyson, Trick ... someone has to figure out how to undo the damage that the Norn did.
The nightmares were a further representation of the pain that Bo is dealing with due to Dyson's decision. How freaky was that last dream? Bo having her energy taken by an older her ... the fear of losing all of those close to her. At least she was strong enough to recognize that the Dyson offering her his love was fake.
The normal camaraderie was gone. Not only was Dyson missing, but the episode lacked in Kenzi and Hale moments, even Kenzi and Trick's interactions were limited. As were Bo and Kenzi's.
The show works because of the relationships. Here, though, everyone was off working on their own cases and problems with limited interaction. Was that by design to highlight how important they are? It was a drastic way to show us.
We were introduced to several new Fae, including the Sandman, the Mare, a Brownie and a Baku. That may be the most new Fae we have dealt with in one episode. While the idea of a Brownie seemed like a good one to start, I'm glad he moved on. It was weird having him living with Bo and Kenzi.
The political environment started to get serious for Bo. The new Ash is not tolerant of her non-aligned status and took that out on Lauren. She was property of the old Ash and therefore became property of the new Ash. So, not only only has Bo lost Dyson, she is being kept from her other potential love interest Lauren.
Bo's refusal to work freelance for the Ash isn't going to help her either. How will Bo handle this isolation going forward? I prefer Bo with Dyson, but from previous comments many of you want to see Bo and Lauren together. At this point, is either a possibility? I'd take a love triangle over seeing Bo without both of them.

I'm catching up with this show on Netflix in anticipation of Season 3 premiere next month. Does anyone know if Netflix is the unedited version or not? Thanks!
It's good to have different scenes, separate interactions/plots. What's the differences with the Syfy version?
WatchesTooMuch, I thought that was a bit out of character as well, then again, it happens often on this show.
i don't really like lauren, she's kinda boring. i don't get the bo/lauren thing at all, and i miss the old dyson. he's just not right anymore
It doesn't make sense to me that Bo turned the Ash down on his freelancing offer. This would, at least potentially, make it easier for her to see Lauren and give her some leverage over the Ash that she could use to improve Lauren's treatment. I wouldn't be surprised if she winds up doing that freelancing anyway. I am also wondering if the Ash's near-flirtatious behavior towards Bo portends something.
Syfy is a shitty network so I'm not surprised they are editing the show and censoring the most harmless Bo and Lauren scene - which is a shame, considering that aspect of the show is such a huge part of season 2. This episode is honestly one of my favorites. The show flows much better when it isn't centered on Bo's Twilight-esque relationship with Dyson.
I don't know it they trying to de-gay the show or bung in more adverts but they've cut a lot of the best dialogue as well. Just a 'heads up' the Bo/Lauren relationship is in the small gestures and tenderness if they miss out those bits they're messing up the whole dynamic. I'm straight and I far prefer this relationship to the Dyson/Bo one which has turned them both into beligerant teenagers, I mean they're both nearly forty. Kenzi's humour is one of the best bits of the show and they're messing with that too.
I prefer Bo with Dyson as well, and I missed him in this episode, but still liked it overall (although not a favorite). I agree that the relationships and the humor are what makes the show special.
I didn't love last night's episode either and loved all the previous episodes. I freely admit I love Bo with Dyson, but I can also admit it's because I find Dyson to be very hot! I do think Bo and Lauren have an incredibly strong chemistry too, which makes the prospect of a love triangle very interesting. Assuming Dyson can regain his love for Bo, both he and Lauren seem to genuinely love Bo as she does them. Also, I was unaware that they were editing/censoring the episodes from what originally irked in Canada. That makes me really sad. It seems a bit strange given that they showed the love scene between Bo and Lauren, but old edit out a caress? Maybe they're Dyson fans too. : D
SyFy is cutting scenes. Are they trying to "de-gay" the show? There is no reason or justification for it. Even if you don't like Doccubus, it is an interference with the artistic integrity of the show, it was not intended to be seen that way, it was not as the writers, producers and directors intended. Fans are getting cheated and to cut out one small caress between Bo and Lauren, and leave in the sequence Bo and Dyson really only leads to one thing and it is an ugly one. If SyFy is going to censor the show, I would sooner that they simply pull it off the air. DVDs are available. I would sooner see all the performances, character work and writing that the creators intended - not why Syfy seems to think is "suitable".

Is Bones coming back this fall? — ByerleyMATT: Well of course it is, on Thursday, Sept. 17. And if only because I had Eddie McClintock (now starring on SyFy's Warehouse 13) dropping by for a video Q&A, I reached out to Bones boss Hart Hanson to see if Eddie's Special Agent Tim Sullivan might ever reenter Temp's life. "We've always thought he might return one day, dead or alive. I prefer alive, actually," Hanson told the Buzz. McClintock in turn told me, "I had such a great time with Emily [Deschanel] and David [Boreanaz], so for Hart to say that makes me happy. I would love to [do Bones again]."

I adored the "McFamily" scenes last week on Grey's Anatomy. What's next for Mark, Lexie, Meredith and Derek? — KellyMATT: For Mark and Lexie, much cuteness is on the immediate horizon. I mean, as much as Thatcher Grey makes my skin crawl (no offense, Jeff Perry!), the way things play out when he returns is better than I expected. For Mer and Der, there's the none-too-small matter of a stern ultimatum coming from the bride. As that gets sorted out, the would-be marrieds will find cause to fast-track their wedding, so get to updating that website, illing Izzie!
So I'm guessing that Gaby will be hosting the spoiled teen diva on Desperate Housewives.

Welcome to PCM Designs! We strive to supply you with all the resources you'll need to locate a trustworthy web design firm close to you. Regardless of whether you are looking for responsive web design or ecommerce development, we can help. Our website is packed with insightful information as well as web design agency listings.
Minimalism has been a popular website design style for years.
It has so many benefits; minimalist sites load faster, take fewer server resources, and are often faster to develop than more graphically complicated designs. Plus, they give a professional, clean impression to visitors. Many people still view minimalist designs as boring. But there's a real art to effective minimal website designs, something not all designers can effectively master.
The cost of web design work varies wildly.
It's a logical thing to ask, really. Those of us who aren't rich or famous have a finite amount of money, and we always want to feel like that money is being used in the smartest way possible. We are especially cautious when it comes to paying for something intangible like a website – you can't hold it in your hand, so how much can it really be worth?
With so many options to consider when budgeting for development of an eCommerce website, it can be a bit confusing.
Some eCommerce websites, like most things, are easier to build than others and there are many eCommerce website design companies to choose from. Some perform like Kia's and some give results like Ferraris. One option or the other may be better suited for your business. Ecommerce sites can range from $5,000 - $500,000 +, so it's important to know the factors that go into pricing.

Among the meetings in yesterday's meeting-rich day was a send off for Larry Alford who is on his way to Philly. It was wonderful and touching — as is Larry — and made sad only by the feelings of hope and pride combined with a feeling of loss.
The evening began a discussion of Scholarly Publishing at UNC which was in turn kicked off by a talk from CNI's Cliff Lynch. We (John, Fred, and Megan) taped the talk and will have it available on ibiblio for streaming in the Speakers section soon.

The Associated Press
Elvis Dumervil was staying with the Denver Broncos.
And then, he wasn't.
On another busy day of NFL free agency, the highlight -- or lowlight -- came after a strange sequence of events in which the Broncos and the defensive end reached an agreement on a new deal that ended up not valid because the paperwork was filed too late.
And now, Dumervil is a free agent.
Also Friday, Greg Jennings left Green Bay to head to rival Minnesota, Dustin Keller became the latest member of the Jets to leave and Kevin Kolb was released by Arizona.
A person familiar with the negotiations gave The Associated Press details about the confusion involving Dumervil and the Broncos. The person did not want to be identified because the negotiations were not public.
According to that person, the day played out like this:
-- At 1:25 p.m., Denver time, Dumervil agreed to take a $4 million pay cut to remain with the AFC West champions for 2013.
-- The paperwork was ready to be signed and sent to the league. But with the clock ticking on a 1:59 p.m. deadline, the Broncos were not seeing any sign of the signed copy on their fax machine.
-- With no signed contract in hand as 1:59 approached, the Broncos were forced to cut Dumervil, because once the 1:59 deadline passed, they were on the hook for the $12 million they owed him in the original contract.
-- The team received the signed contract via fax at 2:06 p.m. That was seven minutes past the deadline and about 15 minutes later than they needed to receive it so they could review it and send it to the league.
Broncos front office chief John Elway said the team delivered its final contract proposal to Dumervil at 11 a.m. and set a 1 p.m. deadline for a decision. Elway said Dumervil accepted the contract at around 1:25 and "although we expressed our concern regarding the time constraints, we were assured that the signed documents would be submitted to us before the league's waiver deadline."
"We did not receive the documents from Elvis by the league's deadline and were forced to release him shortly before 2 p.m. MDT," Elway said.
Dumervil's agent, Marty Magid, did not return messages left by AP via text and voicemail.
Though the sides had agreed on a deal, the odds of Dumervil returning to Denver are hampered because cutting him could leave them with a salary cap hit of up to nearly $5 million.
Jennings spent seven years getting the best of the Vikings' secondary while playing for their bitter rivals in Green Bay. No longer feeling as important to the Packers after two seasons shortened by injuries, Jennings crossed the border and found a team that welcomed him with desperately open arms.
Jennings signed a five-year contract with the Vikings on Friday, leaving Aaron Rodgers and that high-octane passing offense in Green Bay for the unproven Christian Ponder and the ground-and-pound Vikings. In 2011, he missed three games with a sprained left knee. He said he felt lost in the shuffle behind younger Packers receivers such as James Jones, Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb and sounded determined to prove that his best years are not behind him.
"I can definitely still do it," said Jennings, who will turn 30 on Sept. 21. "I can definitely still make plays and be as exciting as I was in my earlier years."
Arizona released Kolb, ending the quarterback's two injury-filled seasons with the team. The move came just ahead of the deadline for paying Kolb a $2 million roster bonus. The Cardinals paid Kolb some $20 million over two seasons after acquiring him in a trade that sent a second-round draft pick and cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The move reportedly saved $7 million in salary cap space. Meanwhile, the Cardinals were spending the money left and right, agreeing to terms on one-year contracts with former San Diego and ex-University of Arizona cornerback Antoine Cason and ex-Oakland defensive end Matt Shaughnessy.
In Miami, Ryan Tannehill now has plenty of potential pass targets, thanks to a spending spree by the Dolphins.
Miami signed Keller and wideout Brandon Gibson to complete a much-needed upgrade of the receiving corps. The Dolphins earlier added Mike Wallace, the top pass-catcher in free agency, and re-signed wideout Brian Hartline last week.
The moves transform the passing game into a potential strength.
"We feel that we have added some very good pieces to our passing game," general manager Jeff Ireland said.

Behavior: Serpent Spawns run in low health, and often retarget. Field Notes: In the past they were only available via the Creature Illusion spell, but after they were introduced to the game they were removed from that spell. It is the only creature that was added in the Christmas Update 2005. Click Here to Show/Hide Spoiler Information Spoiler warning: Quest and/or game spoiling details follow. (Settings: hidden content) You may hunt 800 of these as a task of the Killing in the Name of... Quest. Upon completion of the task you will face The Noxious Spawn. Spoiler ends here. The Library on Tibia.com describes them as follows: "The hideous Serpent Spawn is rumoured to be the creation of some ancient serpent god once worshipped by the lizardmen of Tiquanda. In ancient times, this creature, chosen by the gods, was a vital part of the lizard culture and the centre of numerous gruesome rituals. With the downfall of the lizard civilisation, the Serpent Spawn became more and more uncontrollable, and finally started to become a threat to the lizards themselves. As if their minds had been darkened by a madness that mirrored the turmoil in the lizard society, they made no difference between friend or foe and their lethal wrath struck both. By making the most holy places of the lizards inaccessible, they sealed the fate of the lizard civilisation during the apes' revolt. It is rumoured there are still species of the Serpent Spawn around. Still guarding the sacred places with eternal vigilance, they are waiting for their creator to rise again and to lead them once more to reign the jungle of Tiquanda on the god's behalf. Being servants of the serpent god, they are blessed with magic abilities and their serpent heritage grants them enormous physical strength and constitution." Location: Deeper Banuta, Forbidden Islands: Talahu (Medusa Cave) and Kharos (at level -1), Razzachai, Deep below the Crystal Lakes in Foreigner Quarter, Cult's cave in the Magician Quarter. Strategy: They hit hard with their waves, so try to keep diagonal to avoid Earth Wave and Musical Notes, a good idea is to bring Garlic Necklace, since Musical Notes do Life Drain damage. Blockers should use a firebomb or energybomb while shooters stay away of its beams, as the creature retargets very often and runs on low health, try to finish them quickly when they start running, as following them into a group of Serpent Spawns could be lethal. Paladins: A level 150+ Paladin should have no problem soloing these. Just use Assassin Stars and Divine Missile combined with Light Healing and Divine Healing if your hp runs too low. It can be hard to avoid the waves by running, especially in the narrow passages of some of the places where they reside so it may be easier to just sit there and take the melee hits so you don't get waved. They run in low hp, but this isn't really a problem for Paladins. There will usually be profit in loot. Knights: If you're a level 150+ Knight, you should be able to solo these quite comfortably. Always stay diagonal so you don't take their waves, then just combine your melee with Whirlwind Throw to take them down in reasonable time, heal with Wound Cleansing and if you get really low, heal with Ultimate Health Potions. Be careful when it runs, try to get it to run in a direction from which you've already cleared all the monsters so you don't get swarmed with them. If there's 2 at once, use Berserk to try to get rid of one as fast as possible while still damaging the other one. If you're a really high level, 200+, a good strategy is to find a Druid to heal you, gather 3-4 at once and use Fierce Berserk. Great experience can be gained this way. If you just use Whirlwind Throw, you should profit in loot. If you are using Fierce Berserk, you will probably break even.

She encountered active, health-minded patients hungry for new approaches to health care and pre-med students eager for a naturopathic medicine school in the area.Read more »

Free Software Awards for Creative Commons and Wietse Venema
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has announced the winners of its annual free software awards, with Richard Stallman as the presenter.
The two awards went to Creative Commons in the category of Projects of Social Benefit and Postfix creator Wietse Venema for the Advancement of Free Software.
Creative Commons has since its launch in 2001 continuously promoted creative, educational and scientific works "that can be shared and built upon by others," according to the announcement made at the LibrePlanet GNU/Linux conference March 21-22 at the Harvard Science Center in Cambridge MA. The Project of Social Benefit category is awarded annually to a project that "intentionally and significantly benefits society" in its applications or ideas that promote free software. Previous winners were the Groklaw online legal magazine, Sahana disaster management collaboration software, and Wikipedia.
The Dutchman Wietse Venema was honored for his technical contributions in the Advancement of Free Software category. Venema is creator of the Postfix open source Mail Transfer Agent (MTA). Postfix emerged from IBM's labs, where Venema still works at the Watson Research Center. The mail server is under the IBM Public License that is currently incompatible with GPL, but still recognized by the FSF as a free license. Some of the previous winners in Venema's category included Harald Welte, Ted Ts'o, Alan Cox, Lawrence Lessig and Guido van Rossum.

The AD8519 and AD8529 are rail-to-rail output bipolar amplifiers with a unity gain bandwidth of 8 MHz and a typical voltage offset of less than 1 mV.
The AD8519 brings precision and bandwidth to the SC70 and SOT-23 packages. The low supply current makes the AD8519/AD8529 ideal for battery-powered applications. The rail-to-rail output swing of the AD8519/AD8529 is larger than standard video op amps, making them useful in applications that require greater dynamic range than standard video op amps. The 2.9 V/μs slew rate makes the AD8519/AD8529 a good match for driving ASIC inputs such as voice codecs.
The small SC70 package makes it possible to place the AD8519 next to sensors, reducing external noise pickup.
The AD8519/AD8529 is specified over the extended industrial (−40°C to +125°C) temperature range. The AD8519 is available in 5-lead SC70 and 5-lead SOT-23 packages, and an 8-lead SOIC surface-mount package. The AD8529 is available in 8-lead SOIC and 8-lead MSOP packages.

How Often Do You Floss?
by Fitness 29 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Every year, I make the same New Year's resolution, among others that change. It is the noble goal of flossing daily. When I lapse and miss a day or two, I do not feel that I have failed or my resolution is lost. I just pick up the floss and renew my commitment to gum health. What about you . . .

I'm wearing braces so flossing for me is a must, 3 times a day. I'm willing to keep this habit after I remove them! :)

hottpink- ive wondered that too, i floss usually 3-4 times a day,sometimes more. i cant stand when i have anything stuck in my teeth, and it makes me feel cleaner...my gums are healthy, and so are my teeth,but i sometimes wonder if im hurting my oral health by flossing so fastidiously.

I hate flossing because i have sensitive gums... but apparently its good for you in more ways then one... gum disease is linked to pancreatic cancer.... I started flossing atleast 5 times a week when I was 16 and started randomly having a bunch of health problems with my digestive organs and reproductive organs, I didnt want anything else to happen...
True-Song 5 years
I go in spurts. One month every day, then never for a month. It's a good trick to keep it everywhere so you can do it when you're in stopped traffic or watching tv.

A couple of yrs ago I went to the dentist when he told me I had 8 cavities BETWEEN my teeth I flipped out!!!! I floss every day at least once.
Spectra 5 years
I am bad about flossing and I really should do it more often. I try to floss at least once a week, but on the days I don't floss, I rinse with Listerine to make me feel better about not flossing, lol. My dentist can never really tell, but after my cleanings I'm really good about flossing for a couple of weeks and then I relapse again.

I spent most of this week out of town for work and away from Baby C…..I hated that part, but I'll save that for another day. Anyway, one of the nights I spent at an Aloft hotel. Aloft is a member of the Starwood Preferred Guest points program and as such, is one of my back-up hotels when the Westin I normally stay at is unavailable. Even though I was by myself on this trip, I am going to do the review from the point-of-view of a family traveling with small kiddos, since that is the way I know how to travel best!
I stayed at the Aloft Austin in the Domain in Austin, Texas. This hotel is just about spitting distance from the Westin at the Domain that I reviewed in this post. It is a nice, new, trendy hotel. The lobby, bar, and pool table all look like they are ready and waiting for a party!
I'm pretty sure that the elevator was operated by a small, underfed hamster. It was seriously the slowest elevator I have been in in a very long time. Every time I rode it and there was another person in the elevator, that other person always commented about how slow the elevator was. Of course, what else is there to talk about in an elevator?
Once you got to your room, the hip and trendy vibe continues. The beds are very comfortable, there is a mounted flat screen tv on the wall, and there is a complimentary view of the parking lot.
The bathroom is where things get pretty dicey for families with small children. First, there is no bath tub. Second, there is no sink that could double as a bath tub for a baby. The sink is a fancy-schmancey sink that would not at all be functional for trying to bathe that overworked hamster, let alone a human baby. The bathroom (and whole room for that matter) really has a college dorm feel to it. The soap and shampoo even comes out of dispensers in the shower. I kind of felt like I should wear my flip-flops in the shower like I did back in college. Not because the room was dirty, but just because it had that college feel to it.
There were some aspects of this hotel that would be good for families. Namely, the pool is only 2.5 feet deep, so even my 18 month old could toddle around in it effectively (though not sure how "big people" are supposed to enjoy it!). The snack bar area was also pretty family-friendly. There were many drink and snack selections right down stairs next to the check-in area. The prices were not too outrageous for hotel prices. If you are Gold or Platinum with SPG they give you a coupon for a free drink at the real bar or at the snack bar.
While there is nothing wrong with this hotel, I don't think it would be right for my family to stay there. It is fine for me for a night or two while away by myself for work, but not one that would be easy to stay at with small children. As I mentioned, it also just has a vibe to me that screams college party – trash can punch at midnight! Woot woot!
Okay, now for the good stuff………the free SPG points! While I was checking into this hotel on Facebook and Foursquare for my 250 points per check-in (read more here) I stumbled across a post on their Facebook wall from July 11th that if you like them by July 31st you can get 250 free SPG points! Login to Facebook and go here to like them! I know it's not as exciting as the 1000-3000 SPG points that other properties offered, but it's still not too shabby for just 2 minutes of your time! You do have to let them know that you "liked" their page and then email your SPG number to email@example.com – for some reason if you copy and paste her email address from the Facebook page it doesn't work. Not sure why, but just get it from here or type it in yourself manually. I liked them and sent in the email about 3 days ago and have not received the points yet. However, with most Facebook SPG promos I've done it did take a week or two for the points to post, so I'm not worried quite yet.
So, there you have it! Let's hope that this Facebook point promo doesn't blow-up quite as quickly as other recent ones have. My advice is to do it quickly so you don't miss out!
EDIT: As usual, this type of thing blows up quickly – they are pulling it at 10AM Central on 7/22/11. Hurry!!

Thanks for the review. I have stayed in a couple of properties where there was no tub… My daughter is 3 and we did convince her to take a shower for the very first time… but boy was it trying!
I also like pools that start shallow – or zero entry. My daughter just has to go swimming and I like it if I have the option to get out when I am done splashing.
These kinds of details are whats important to parents with small kids. Keep up the good work!
My daughter is 18 months and I was only imagining the tears that probably would have flowed if we got her in the shower! She hates getting sprayed by the hose, so I doubt the shower would have gone well. Glad your 3 year old did okay with it in the end! I also love the shallow pool for kids! Thanks for the comment!

Rating Change #9
Western Union Company (WU) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, increase in net income and attractive valuation levels. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including generally higher debt management risk and a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 10.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 0.8%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the IT Services industry average. The net income increased by 12.4% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $239.70 million to $269.50 million.
- WESTERN UNION CO has improved earnings per share by 18.4% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. However, we anticipate underperformance relative to this pattern in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, WESTERN UNION CO increased its bottom line by earning $1.84 versus $1.36 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 8.7% in earnings ($1.68 versus $1.84).
- WU's stock share price has done very poorly compared to where it was a year ago: Despite any rallies, the net result is that it is down by 28.52%, which is also worse that the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Investors have so far failed to pay much attention to the earnings improvements the company has managed to achieve over the last quarter. Naturally, the overall market trend is bound to be a significant factor. However, in one sense, the stock's sharp decline last year is a positive for future investors, making it cheaper (in proportion to its earnings over the past year) than most other stocks in its industry. But due to other concerns, we feel the stock is still not a good buy right now.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 2.99 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company.

Mac And A Flash Menu Problem?
A friend of mine has a Mac. On a website I maintain I have recently added a flash menu with the help of

it is the cheapest site. But he can't see this menu. What does he need to do to his computer to give it the ability to see this menu? In the html on the website this is a script and refers to a swf file.

We all know Glen Davis almost starred in The Blind Side. You may have read that he loves ultimate frisbee, soccer and martial arts. He also has said he'd like to play in the NFL some day. But this — THIS? — I never knew. (Cleveland Plain Dealer)
Q: What's something that people don't know about you?
A: That I do mixed martial arts. And ballet. I'll probably compete in mixed martial arts one day. I'm really good. Better than Kimbo Slice.
Ballet? I shudder to imagine Big Baby in tights. But that wasn't the only female tendency he revealed. What's about to come next is even worse.
Q: What's the last good book you read?
A: "My Sister's Keeper."
If I'm not mistaken, "My Sister's Keeper" is the heart-stealing tear-jerking chick flick starring Cameron Diaz. (And I'm not… I, too, was fully emasculated by "My Sister's Keeper." But at least mine was the movie rather than the book and, while there is still no excuse, I was begged by my girlfriend for weeks before finally succumbing. So while I might have lost my manhood by attending the movie, it wasn't as bad as Big Baby reading the book. Plus, I hated the movie. And I didn't even cry at it.)
Big Baby, you need to do something to redeem yourself and regain your manhood. Something drastic too. Like killing an alligator with your bare hands or something.
