This is a funny video in which i wanted to illustrate the fact that cow's fart produce methane which is not good for the earth and thus affecting climate change.
But farmers could use the cow's dung to produce electricity thus by Biomass. Using renewable means to produce energy can really help to fight climate change.
I want to encourage everybody to try to find new eco-friendly ways to produce energy to save our planet.

OSHAWA -- A public meeting on the land use plan for the Port of Oshawa didn't live up to expectations for some residents.
Members of the public who attended the meeting at a Bloor Street East hotel on Jan. 9 were critical of the setup, which included tables with copies of the draft land use plan and paper for people to write down comments and submit them.
"I thought I would at least be able to talk to someone," said Oshawa resident Christine McLaughlin, adding she attended the meeting to voice her concerns about the proposed ethanol plant.
Ms. McLaughlin said she had been expecting to make her comments directly to members of the port authority board.
Oshawa Port Authority president and CEO Donna Taylor was on hand and explained that as Canada's newest port authority, the Oshawa port is obliged to submit a land use plan to the federal government within a year of its creation, making the deadline Jan. 25.
She said the goal of the public event was to give the plan to people who haven't downloaded the document from the port authority's website or looked at the copies left at one of the public libraries.
"It's three hours of trying to reach out to people who haven't seen it," she said at the meeting, adding that at that point she had not received many comments. The public comment period runs until Jan. 23.
Notable elements of the plan include expanding the east wharf by 800 feet.
"It's to assist in consolidating the use of the east side," said Ms. Taylor.
A rail spur currently under construction is expected to be complete by the spring. The draft plan also states that if the City of Oshawa doesn't assume control of the marina lands, the lands will be earmarked for public use such as a boat launch, park and fish cleaning station.
The report does not discuss a proposed ethanol plant on the Gifford farm lands, but the plan designates the land as port-related industrial use.
Brian Brasier, executive director of Friends of Second Marsh, confronted Ms. Taylor about the meeting setup, saying that it prevented the public from scrutinizing input from other members of the public.
"In effect what's happened now is the public's been shut out of another opportunity to have a public discussion," he said.
Ms. Taylor responded that she would consider a different format for future meetings.
"Perhaps when we're reaching out to the public we can improve on that," she said.
At Monday's development services meeting, Oshawa staff presented a report with the City's comments on the draft plan.
The report was critical of the level of detail in the land use plan. Among the suggestions: adding a list of permitted uses of the lands with staff asking that an ethanol plant not be a permitted use; an opportunities assessment about potential business that could be located on the lands and the physical needs for those businesses; recognition that part of the port sits on a floodplain and the risks associated with it; the identification of environmentally sensitive lands near the port; and the identification of contaminated lands at the port and a cleanup or risk management strategy.
The report recommended using the draft plan as a starting point and creating a working group with representatives from the City, the port, the local conservation authority and the OPUC to improve the document.
A copy of the draft land use plan is available at oshawaportauthority.ca and comments are due on Jan. 23 by 2 p.m.

Hyderabad: The Nagarjunasagar Srisailam Tiger reserve, one of India's largest tiger habitats, is now 'geared up' to face any possible outbreak of the deadly Canine Distemper Virus that can kill tigers and also make them fearless, turning them into man eaters, officials said.
The Canine Distemper Virus caused tiger casualties in Bangladesh, Russian Federation countries and Indonesia. The National Tiger Conservation Authority has alerted NSTR field director to take measures to prevent the spread of the virus and vaccinate cattle entering the reserve.
Chief conservator of forests (Project Tiger) A.K. Nayak said, "We have received the alert from NTCA and are taking all measures suggested by it in both the tiger reserves — NSTR in Nallamalas' and the Kawal tiger reserve in Adilabad."
According to him, water testing is done frequently and monsoon patrolling teams are checking for unnatural deaths of animals. "We are on an alert. Earlier too, when two bisons died unnaturally, we got veterinary doctors from zoos who checked them for foot and mouth diseases and CDV and found they are not infected," he said.
According NTCA deputy inspector general S.P. Yadav the CDV disease is incurable and causes high fever, watery eyes, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhoea, paralysis and death. "The infected animals have also been observed to display strange behaviour with disorientation and inability to predate," said Yadav. In the Sundarbans in Bangladesh tigers turned man eaters as they lost fear. Tigers get infected by coming in contact with cattle and dogs straying into forests.
The measures suggested are vaccinating stray cattle, cats and dogs living around human habitations and tiger reserves on a regular basis. Incidents of wild animals showing abnormal behaviour must be reported immediately to NTCA, officials said.

Plenty of freedom at Netflix but underperformers get the flick
PUBLISHED: 05 Feb 2013 07:03:00 | UPDATED: 06 Feb 2013 10:43:03PRINT EDITION: 04 Feb 2013A screenshot from the slide deck that spells out Netflix's unique culture. The slides have been viewed by more than 3 million people. Image: Slideshare.net
Fiona Smith
What is the most important document to come out of Silicon Valley? According to Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg it's a deck of slides outlining the culture of entertainment company Netflix.
Most company culture documents are impossible to read. The eyes start to glaze over after just the first sentence of good intentions.
This is not a short read from Netflix either. Published on Slideshare, there are 126 frames to click through – yet, apparently 3 million people have churned through it to try to find out what makes this company so special.
The company's culture – which emphasises performance, freedom, and responsibility – is admired as a superb recruiting tool in a town where the war for talent can create or kill companies.
The slides, called the Culture Deck, are the reason Netflix founder, Reed Hastings, was pursued to take a seat on Facebook's board.
"It may well be the most important document ever to come out of the Valley," Sandberg told GQ magazine.
Hastings started Netflix as a service for delivering DVDs by mail. It's now in the process of transforming into an any-time streaming service and viewing network, allowing people to view what they want, any time they want.
The company now has 30 million streaming subscribers worldwide and about 8 million people still get DVDs in the mail, according to GQ.
The key to its culture appears to be this: a steel fist in a kid glove.
Successful employees have freedoms the rest of us can only dream of, but under-performers beware, average performance won't be tolerated. Twenty per cent leave, or are pushed out, every year.
As the slides say, Netflix is a team, not a family.
"Netflix leaders hire, develop and cut smartly, so we have stars in every position," according to the Culture Deck.
If you have just had a bad year, but have performed brilliantly in the past, Netflix will give you a break "because we think they are likely to become stars for us again".
But "sustained B-level performance, despite 'A for effort', generates a generous severance package, with respect.
"Sustained A-level performance, despite minimal effort, is rewarded with more responsibility and great pay."
Despite the ruthlessness in performance management, "brilliant jerks" won't survive: "Internal 'cut throat' or 'sink or swim' behaviour is rare and not tolerated".
Freedoms include unlimited holidays and sick days and the ability to come and go as you please.
"Our model is to increase employee freedom as we grow, rather than limit it, to continue to attract and nourish innovative people, so we have better chance of sustained success."
"You don't have to give up your life to do your job incredibly well," Hastings told GQ.
"An employee pointed out we don't track hours worked per day or per week, so why are we tracking days of vacation per year?"
Netflix leaders take long vacations themselves, modelling the behaviour they want to encourage.
The working day finishes at 6pm, but "We're all working online some nights and weekends, responding to emails at odd hours, spending some afternoons on personal time, and taking good vacations", according to the Culture Deck.
Failure is not a hanging offence, necessarily. High performers make few mistakes, but when they do, it is important to fix them quickly: "You may have heard preventing error is cheaper than fixing it. Yes, in manufacturing or medicine, but not so in creative environments."
In terms of policies around charging expenses to the company, employees are advised to "travel as you would if it were your own money" and to "act in the best interests of the company".
Netflix endeavours to pay top-of-the-market rates, saying one outstanding employee gets more done and costs less than two adequate employees.
A "big salary is the most efficient form of comp[ensation]", according to the Culture Deck.
Employees also get to choose how much of their remuneration is offered in stock options.
"No bonuses, no free stock options, no philanthropic match. Instead, put all that expense into big salaries and give people the freedom to spend their salaries as they think best."
So, where do we sign?

Title | Powerful Connections – Priorities and Directions in Energy Science and Technology in Canada |
Publication Type | Report |
Year of Publication | 2006 |

Abstract | Dear Minister Lunn Canadians have reason to be optimistic about our nation's energy future. As a nation we are blessed with energy resources which are extraordinary in their variety and scale. Canada is a large producer, intensive user, and a major exporter of energy-rich commodities and manufactured products. How skillfully we manage the evolution and future development of our energy economy will, in the long term, have a profound impact on the quality of the lives of Canadians. Only the continuing vigorous development of energy technologies that will provide us with real future options in how we produce, transform and ultimately use energy can assure us of the ability to respond to the evolving economic conditions, environmental imperatives and the values and expectations of Canadians. This is central to our future well being. We have provided recommendations in this report that identify technological areas where Canada should focus its investments. We have also proposed some different approaches your government might use as it organizes for and provides support to the priority programs. Here, our focus has been on how best to encourage the development, and support the widespread commercial deployment of transformative technologies. Of great importance is the need to increase substantially the investments of both our private and public sectors in energy science and technology with programs that recognize the importance of long-term commitments. Short-term, discontinuous measures will fail to attract, develop and hold the talented, highly-skilled manpower upon which our future success ultimately depends. Your Panel is confident that clear action now to stimulate expansion of our energy science and technology capacity and activity will assure Canadians of future energy choices and of a leadership role amongst nations. Sincerely, Angus Bruneau Chairman |

SPRINGFIELD, Ore. — Both McKenzie-Willamette and Sacred Heart Medical Center are pursuing a baby-friendly certification.
Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative encourages the best feeding practices for babies. One of the steps to gaining that certification is putting all babies to their mothers' chests after delivery, unless there's a medical reason not to.
"If a mother chooses to breast feed, we want to make sure she's successful. If a mother chooses to bottle feed, we want to make sure she's successful," said Educator for Labor and Delivery Cindy Hunter.
To become baby-friendly certified, the hospital must teach every staff member about breast feeding, inform the community and have resources available to parents.
Both McKenzie-Willamette and Sacred Heart plan to be baby-friendly certified by 2013.

Non-clothing find. I've been getting back into bowling recently and the 13 pound ball I got when I was 14 wasn't cutting it anymore. So I was pretty excited to find this for $3.
Pretty decent ball too. http://www.bowling.com/products/discontinued/900global-bounty-hunter.htm
Looks like it's seen 10 games at most. I just have to get it drilled for me. And it's 15 pounds, so my ball won't just bounce off of the pins like it used too.
Also grabbed this sick Woolrich jacket labeled XL on the women's rack. Pretty sure it's neither of those.
Dead bird pocket.
Quick thrift fit with the jacket just for fun. Sorry about the dirty room/mirror/me.

Chocolate Hazelnut Spread: Is it Healthy?
by Dana Angelo White in Is It Healthy?, August 20, 2011Clever marketing has attempted to convince consumers that chocolate-hazelnut spreads make a nutritious breakfast. Can this chocolaty delight be a healthy part of any meal?
Manufacturers tout that this creamy spread contains wholesome ingredients like hazelnuts and skim milk — and it does. There's actually not much else to it, only a couple of other ingredients make up the recipe — but that's where things start to get messy.
The first 2 ingredients listed on the label of chocolate-hazelnut spreads are sugar, followed by palm oil, which means these ingredients out-weigh all others. When you break down the numbers you'll find it contains 100 calories per tablespoon and more than 50-percent of that comes from fat. While there are some heart-healthy fats from nuts, one-third is the artery-clogging saturated kind. As for the sugar, it's not looking much better – nearly 5 teaspoons per serving!
Most brands also include thickeners such as soy lecithin. While this food additive is considered safe, folks with soy allergies should be aware.
The Verdict
Just a smidge is all you need! While magically delicious, this choco-nutty spread isn't to be confused with straight up health food (like natural peanut butter for instance). Use this product sparingly and preferably along with nutrient-dense foods like fresh fruit and whole grains. Always read ingredient labels carefully to get the real facts.

I get sick of listening to straight people complain about, "Well, hey, we don't have a heterosexual-pride day, why do you need a gay-pride day?" I remember when I was a kid I'd always ask my mom: "Why don't we have a Kid's Day? We have a Mother's Day and a Father's Day, but why don't we have a Kid's Day?" My mom would always say, "Every day is Kid's Day." To all those heterosexuals that bitch about gay pride, I say the same thing: Every day is heterosexual-pride day! Can't you people enjoy your banquet and not piss on those of us enjoying our crumbs over here in the corner? ~Rob Nash
How true is that huh???
Amen sister!
I decided to take a peek in the closet.
What a suprise to find myself hiding inside!
I'd tell you to "preach it, girl," but you are already preaching to the choir.
Whatever I did, I didn't do it.
Actually the reason why we have Gay Pride parades every June is in memory in of The Stone Wall Riots in 1969. In the 60's police would raid gay bars whenever they felt like it, and they could put them in jail for as little as kissing, claiming it was "indecency". So when they raided this bar Stonewall in New York, the gays finally fought back, and there was this huge riot.
So that's why we have parades. Because that's how we remember things... we have a party. We're queer what do you expect?
A true friend stabs you in the front.
I enjoy the banquet v.s. crumbs bit at the end. It's really the truth isn't it.
Guys are pretty confusing, and apparently drooling over them doesn't really break the ice...
Lol, there actually is a kids day in where I was born. In that sense I wonder if that argument applies.

And when he wasn't kissing ladies' hands or playing Santa to church kids or fraternizing -- besides the Showman's Club, he belonged to the Knights of Columbus and a local Moose Lodge -- Murray imbibed football, often attending University of Miami Hurricanes games. Hard to imagine, then, this charming man being up to his discreet mustache in snake oil. Of course it was strictly business. In addition to scoring with the aforementioned mucho-mondo fare, Murray hit pay dirt in the mid-1950s by leasing and rereleasing The Prince of Peace, the 1949 film version of a Passion play staged annually by a huge church congregation in Lawton, Oklahoma; the movie originally was made as The Lawton Story by producer Howard "Kroger" Babb.
The esteemed effendi of exploitation, Kroger Babb amassed a fortune with grade-Z "sex hygiene" shakedowns, principally 1945's Mom and Dad, directed by William "One Shot" Beaudine and prominently featuring the birth of triplets. While Babb occasionally provided Murray with product -- before KGM boosted it as Why Girls Leave Home, Babb pushed it as Why Men Leave Home and Secrets of Beauty -- more important, he drew his acolyte a roadmap for how to milk these cheap pictures for maximum moolah.
An astute pupil with an innate knack for salesmanship, Murray made a comfortable living. While Irene attended to bookkeeping chores, he handled promotion. But in 1960 he struck the mother lode with the double bill of Wasted Lives and the bloody, up-close-and-personal footage -- obtained from Cuba -- he touted as The Birth of Twins. Murray's poster for the two pictures adroitly mixed hype with restraint: "Frank! Bold! Daring! Nothing Held Back! Nothing Concealed!" (Wasted Lives), and "Shown for the first time on any screen. Told with delicacy and in reverence" (The Birth of Twins).
Not delicate and reverent enough for everyone, apparently. As Jonas recalls, the Atlanta Film Board threw a fit about The Birth of Twins, refusing to sanction its screening until the lawyer finally persuaded that city's cinematic moral watchdogs to give their assent.
But across the U.S., the public jammed movie houses and drive-ins to witness the slimy cesarean section and bought countless copies of "The Sexual Life of Woman" and "The Sexual Life of Man" in the process. And in a brilliant cost-saving maneuver, Murray out-Babbed Babb by filming Howard's "hygienist" pitch in a studio, then inserting the segment into Wasted Lives, thereby eliminating the need to hire a live actor for each showing.
Yet despite the overwhelming success of Wasted Lives/The Birth of Twins, Murray, in one of a series of instinctively canny career moves, already was altering course. "Ken decided to get out of the somewhat illegitimate drive-in business," Simons avers, "and get into the real movie business."
"See straw spun into gold! See the mad little man of amazing magic! See the wedding of the king to the miller's daughter! From the magical world of the Brothers Grimm, K. Gordon Murray brings another wonderful fantasy, RUMPELSTILTSKIN!"
While Murray continued to ply adult filmgoers with recycled material -- Call Me Bad, The Turkish Cucumber, The Price of Sin -- through the mid-1960s, including cutting some scenes from Naughty New York, replacing them with more risqué material, and then rereleasing it as Eve or the Apple in 1962, he also began sniffing into two other movie markets: children and young adults. In 1959 he bought the English-language rights to eight Mexican fantasies and twenty-eight Mexican creepfests -- selecting them personally -- and initiated a decade-long enterprise that eventually would make Walt Disney quake, supply TV horror-program hosts with reams of product, and make him a ton of dough.
He struck first in 1960 with Santa Claus, a surreal, otherworldly, luminous Mexican fable that pits St. Nick and his rainbow coalition of child helpers against Pitch, Lucifer's Man in Mexico City, with the successful delivery of gifts to the world's good boys and girls hanging in the balance. Upon its initial release in October 1960, Santa Claus proved to be a box office bonanza, so much so that Murray reissued it in 1964, 1967, 1970, and 1974. Throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s, he fed American kids a steady diet of similar Mexican fare: Little Angel (1961), Little Red Riding Hood (1963), Puss N' Boots (1963), Little Red Riding Hood and the Monsters (1964), and Rumpelstiltskin (1965), among others, followed by fairy-tale films that he bought from West Germany: The Golden Goose (1966), The Shoemaker and the Elves (1968), Mother Holly (1968), and Hansel and Gretel (1970).
"Ninety-nine percent of those kids' shows were phenomenal [financially]," recalls Sheldon Schermer, Murray's top assistant.
The films' successes can be attributed primarily to Murray's genius for promotion and distribution. He devised a streamlined strategy and executed it with military precision: Book a film into one regional market at a time; stipulate to theater owners that the movie show on a Saturday and Sunday for one weekend only; blanket that market's airwaves in advance with TV spots, especially during afternoon kiddie shows, augmented by splashy newspaper ads; move on to the next market.
"Our policy was to play every Saturday and Sunday -- three shows on Saturday, two shows on Sunday," explains Schermer, now 68 and working in real estate in North Miami Beach. "We would pay 100 percent of all advertising for television, and the theater would co-op 50 percent for newspaper ads. We'd go into a market, like, say, Miami, and have as many as 30 or 40 theaters in Dade and Broward counties play a movie on Saturday and Sunday matinees."

The Cuba Reader: History, Culture, Politicsby Barry Carr
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Cuba is often perceived in starkly black and white termsandmdash;either as the site of one of Latin Americaandrsquo;s most successful revolutions or as the bastion of the worldandrsquo;s last communist regime. The Cuba Reader multiplies perspectives on the nation many times over, presenting more than one hundred selections about Cubaandrsquo;s history, culture, and politics. Beginning with the first written account of the island, penned by Christopher Columbus in 1492, the selections assembled here track Cuban history from the colonial period through the ascendancy of Fidel Castro to the present. The Cuba Reader combines songs, paintings, photographs, poems, short stories, speeches, cartoons, government reports and proclamations, and pieces by historians, journalists, and others. Most of these are by Cubans, and many appear for the first time in English. The writings and speeches of Josandeacute; Martandiacute;, Fernando Ortiz, Fidel Castro, Alejo Carpentier, Che Guevera, and Reinaldo Arenas appear alongside the testimonies of slaves, prostitutes, doctors, travelers, and activists. Some selections examine health, education, Catholicism, and santerandiacute;a; others celebrate Cubaandrsquo;s vibrant dance, music, film, and literary cultures. The pieces are grouped into chronological sections. Each section and individual selection is preceded by a brief introduction by the editors. The volume presents a number of pieces about twentieth-century Cuba, including the events leading up to and following Castroandrsquo;s January 1959 announcement of revolution. It provides a look at Cuba in relation to the rest of the world: the effect of its revolution on Latin America and the Caribbean, its alliance with the Soviet Union from the 1960s until the collapse of the Soviet bloc in 1989, and its tumultuous relationship with the United States. The Cuba Reader also describes life in the periodo especial following the cutoff of Soviet aid and the tightening of the U.S. embargo. For students, travelers, and all those who want to know more about the island nation just ninety miles south of Florida, The Cuba Reader is an invaluable introduction. Synopsis:The essential collection of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, journalism, history and cultral writing from and about Cuba. The latest in the series that also includes the Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, and Peru Readers. Synopsis:Includes bibliographical references (p. [691]-700) and index.
Synopsis:Cuba is often perceived in starkly black and white terms--either as the site of one of Latin America's most successful revolutions or as the repressive regime that is the world's last bastion of communism. This book aims to give a more balanced view.
About the Author"What a beautiful journey through five hundred years of Cuban history, culture, and politics! The Cuba Reader is a sumptuous medley of poetry, song, speeches, interviews, and vignettes from novels new and old. You'll hear the voices of santeros and sugar workers, prostitutes and politicos, revolutionaries and reporters, dissidents and dancers. It's the next best thing to being in Cuba, so sit back with a mojito and enjoy the masterfully guided tour."—Medea Benjamin, activist and cofounder of Global Exchange "The Cuba Reader offers a splendid overview of the Cuban experience, past and present, through a dazzling array of points of view. The voices of participants and observers and perspectives on the extraordinary and the commonplace—with imagery conveyed by way of photography and poetry, through the lyric of music and the nuance of the novel—make for a compelling collection of material. The very fullness of its vision makes The Cuba Reader an indispensable book for courses—of every academic discipline—on Cuba."—Louis A. Pérez, Jr., author of On Becoming Cuban: Identity, Nationality, and Culture What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details

The Mesa Police Department Traffic Section will be conducting saturation patrols throughout the City this weekend. Task Force Operations will begin on 07/01 and go through 07/04.
Officers from the Mesa Police Department will be conducting saturation patrols in search of drug and alcohol impaired drivers. There will be approximately 10 Mesa Police Officers involved each night, including Drug Recognition Experts. Chandler PD, Gilbert PD, Scottsdale PD, Tempe PD, and MCSO will all be participating in these events. Monday's event will target impaired drivers returning to the east valley from the lake and river recreation areas.
Like many holidays, Independence Day celebrations and social events often involve alcohol. Unfortunately, across the country each year, a number of people are killed or seriously injured in alcohol and drug related collisions during the festivities. These crimes are 100 percent preventable. The purpose of this task force is to save lives, reduce injuries, and prevent property damage needlessly caused by impaired drivers.
Please join The Mesa PD Traffic Section in our mission by being vigilant in the pursuit of DUI offenders, and by reminding the public that it is a crime to drive while impaired by alcohol or drugs. Task force officers are operating valley wide to detect and apprehend impaired drivers. Those wishing to celebrate over the weekend should consider transportation needs and designate a driver before drinking. A DUI will cost far more than a cab ride home! Do not drink or use drugs and drive and do not ride with anyone who has!
Funding for the East Valley DUI Task Force is provided through grant funding by the Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety under the leadership of Director Alberto Gutier. "Drive Hammered, Get Nailed."

Air National Guard Capt. Kinder L. Blacke140th Wing Chief of Public AffairsOffice: 720-847-6164Cell: email@example.com www.140WG.ang.af.mil
DENVER (4/10/14) – Denver International Airport will temporarily host the Colorado Air National Guard F-16s while the runway at Buckley Air Force Base undergoes reconstruction.
Members of the 140th Wing will relocate their operations to DIA later this month, and the F-16s will be taking off and landing, using Runway 35R. The jets will fly training missions twice daily, Tuesday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., and one weekend a month until the fleet returns to Buckley at the completion of its runway construction.
"We are happy to be able to accommodate the Buckley Air Force Base Air National Guard F-16 squad at DIA while their facility is being renovated," said Denver's Manager of Aviation Kim Day. "We support our military partners and while this temporary relocation required much planning and coordination, we know our passengers and employees will enjoy watching these impressive aircraft takeoff and land at DIA."
This is the second time the 140th Wing has temporarily relocated their operations to DIA, and based on previous experience, there are no anticipated effects on commercial flying operations at the airport. The area in which the F-16s will be parked will be restricted to military personnel and will be strictly guarded by military police around the clock.
"We are very grateful to be able to share runway space at DIA," said 140th Wing Commander Col. Floyd Dunstan. "Their cooperation in making this a smooth transition has been phenomenal, and we are very fortunate to have them as neighbors; our critical homeland defense mission will not be affected."

I find that Comcast's homepage overall needs to stop the autoload ad's with sound which I cannot stop, I have to turn my volume. The find local girls and have quick dates ads is offensive. The rollover ad which makes me always watch were my mouse is in that area. And the constant beginning ad of Portsmouth Chevrolet before every video is tedious and repetitive.
We pay enough for Comcast why is our " Personal Homepage " need so much Advertising. You would think this would somehow bring down our bills since it must be generating revenue for Comcast. Im sure Comcast will respond with a typical business oriented answer and give us all the reasons why it's in compliance. But it still makes for poor customer service when we as consumers cannot get a break from ad's that Autoload, make us move our mouse away from an area, show disrespectful dating ads. Trouble is not many Cable players in town. So we have to deal with it. I hope I get some of a real answer and not a canned one. Which I expect.
-I most definitely agree regarding the constant ads on the home page that are obnoxious and often interfere with the main stories at the top of the page, for that reason I have to choose another home page such as philly.com, while no page has a perfect setup at least the layout is easier to view and there aren't any flashing ads all the time plus you can view a screen show without having to readjust the web page every time you select the next image, which is irritating as loose bowels. You would think that since we are paying a higher fee than other types of internet connection we wouldn't be overwhelmed with ad-naseum.

6. Golden Marguerite (Anthemis tinctoria) This long-blooming perennial produces bright yellow 2 inch daisies that are highly attractive to five key kinds of beneficials—ladybugs, lacewings, flower flies, tachinid flies and mini-wasps. It was the only plant out of 170 species to score this well in a 3-year study at botanical gardens in Colorado and Wyoming. Golden marguerite thrives in poor soils, growing 2 to 3 feet high and wide. Deadhead (remove spent flowers) to promote rebloom, and divide plants every 2 to 3 years. Hardy in zones 3 to 7.

Lochia is a medical term used for vaginal discharge occurring after childbirth. It generally contains blood, mucus, and placental tissue. This is a normal phenomenon, which continues for three to four weeks after birth, but may also extend to six weeks in some women.
At the time of childbirth, when placenta separates from the uterus, plenty of blood vessels remain open in the area where the placenta was attached to the uterus. These blood vessels within uterus start bleeding thereby leading to the passage of blood through the vagina. This blood is accompanied by sloughed-off tissue from the lining of the uterus, and called as 'lochia'.
Lochia is a normal, physiological phenomenon, occurring in every woman after childbirth.
The appearance and consistency of lochia varies during its time course. It begins in just a few hours following birth and consists of bright red blood resembling heavy menstrual bleeding. Generally, the vaginal discharge keeps on reducing each day and may become watery and pinkish in colour within a week.
By about ten days after childbirth, the amount of lochia reduces drastically and its appearance becomes white or yellowish-white due to the presence of white blood cells and sloughed-off uterine cells. The amount of vaginal discharge tapers off before coming to an end, which may take up to 4 weeks. Lochia has an odour similar to menstrual blood. It may also be accompanied by small blood clots.
However, it is advisable to seek the advice of a gynaecologist and an obstetrician, if the vaginal discharge extends beyond 6 weeks or more, after childbirth.
As discussed earlier, lochia is a normal occurrence after childbirth, where the lining of the uterus is shed in order to bring it back to its pre-pregnancy size.
Lochia is neither a disease nor a complication of pregnancy. It normally occurs after childbirth. The discharge will taper gradually and finally, cease on its own. However, some women may experience problems with lochia and may need medical attention. These problems constitute bright red discharge for more than a week, and can be accompanied by fever and chills, discharge with bad odour or abnormally heavy bleeding.
Lochia can be managed by using sanitary napkins. It is advisable to avoid using tampons as they increase the risk of infection in healing vaginal tissues and uterus.
Even when there is no urge, one should try to urinate as frequently as possible during the first few days after childbirth, since the urinary bladder is less sensitive during that time. Moreover, a full bladder makes it difficult for the uterus to contract. It is advisable to take adequate rest and nutrition. Avoidance of certain activities like prolonged standing, brisk walking, and lifting heavy weights, is recommended.

Organ Recipients Say Thank You
Mother, daughter team up to give the gift of life to family fighting kidney disease
Posted on 5/8/2013
Atlanta, Ga.
(May 8, 2013) – Douglasville resident Rachel Keller knows all too well how dangerous polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a life-threatening genetic disease creating multiple fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys, can be. Her mother died of the disease in the 1970s and now Keller, her daughter, and her granddaughter have been diagnosed with PKD as well.
When the disease progressed enough that her doctor, Gary Wollam, M.D., felt it was time she pursued a kidney transplant at Piedmont Atlanta Hospital, Keller's long-time friend and, at one point, neighbor Cherrie Glover came to the rescue. She and her daughter Leigh decided to get tested to see if they could be living donors and both turned out to be a match.
"I've been friends with Cherrie for 33 years – our children grew up together and are friends as well," said Keller, who was the 3,000th transplant recipient at Piedmont Atlanta. "I worked with Dr. Wollam to stay off dialysis by adjusting my diet and watching my blood pressure. When he told me it was time to think about a transplant, I was so grateful to have friends willing to be tested."
Doctors at Piedmont Transplant Institute determined Glover would be the best match for Keller. The hope is that one day, Glover's daughter Leigh might be able to donate to Keller's daughter in the future.
"I knew about Rachel's condition and I knew people who experienced kidney disease usually undergo dialysis and sometimes transplants, but I thought the transplant had to be from a deceased donor," said Glover. "I knew you could check the organ donor box on your driver's license, but I had no idea living donation was an option until my daughter told me about it and asked if I wanted to get tested with her."
Kidneys are the most common organs donated by living donors. Of the kidneys transplanted at Piedmont Atlanta, approximately half are from living donors like Glover.
"Living organ donation has become the best option for those needing kidneys," said Miguel Tan, M.D., the transplant surgeon who performed Keller's surgery. "The number of living organ donors has risen to more than 6,000 per year, and one in four of these donors isn't biologically related to the recipient."
April is National Donate Life Month where individuals, communities and organizations unite to increase the number of designated organ, eye, and tissue donors who save lives. Currently, there are nearly 3,500 people in the state of Georgia waiting for a kidney.
"I want people to know that there is a large need for living organ donors," said Glover. "It doesn't take much time out of your schedule and my quality of life has not changed a bit. I feel physically great and mentally rewarded. Organ donation is a wonderful thing to do for someone."

Four months ago when I met my girlfriend, she said we had to take things slowly. Now I know why – she has herpes. She let me go down on her! I feel sorry for her but I'm angry too. And gutted. I really like her, but this might be too much for me.
You have every right to be angry. She took a risk with your health and that's not OK, but I feel sorry for her too – it's not easy to talk about. Genital herpes is a virus that causes blisters (cold sores) to periodically appear on and around the genitals and anus. It lives in the nerves under the skin all around the pants area, so even if you use a condom you're not completely protected. Having said that, it's not as big a deal as it first sounds. Avoid sexual contact during breakouts and you can enjoy a relatively normal sex life. If you like her, educate yourself at Nhs.uk, then decide.

text: From June 2008 American Hunter magazine I zipped my brown Dickies coat, grabbed my rifle and headed to the sliding door of my new digs. Outside, the chill of sub-equatorial winter stung my summer-seasoned face as I briskly made my way to the smell of fresh coffee in the dining quarters. A hot mug and rusks (common hard biscuit treats for dipping) replaced my rifle. A more substantial breakfast was available, but I was too keyed up to eat a full meal. It was day one of my 10-day "virgin" safari in Namibia. Over rusks with Johan Koetze, our PH (professional hunter and partner in Kalahari Hunting Safaris of Namibia), I probed for a hunting strategy. Johan was cheerfully optimistic. "Let's go see what we can find for you!" he said, smiling knowingly as my confidence rose. By day's end, I would sense what it's like to live, rove and even to perish in the Kalahari Desert's rusty red sand. *** On the way out, Mark and I flipped a coin for the first shot. I lost. I'm not sure how many kilometers we traveled before the Land Rover halted abruptly. Johan grabbed Mark and they disappeared over a dune. As a shot whizzed across the vast valley of sand, I thought, It can't be this easy, can it? They scurried back, jumped in and Johan asked if my camera equipment was ready as he shifted gears. I frantically began loading batteries and formatting memory cards. Mark had shot a springbok, and it was imperative we get to it immediately for a trophy shot because, as Johan explained, the pronounced white hair on its rump pricks up for only a few minutes after expiration. Johan's not only a master hunter, but he's also a heck of a cinematic director. Always with clients in mind, he considers lasting photographs just as important as horns. Soon we were back on the dusty trail, and it was my turn. My hunt would last a little longer than Mark's, a recurring theme throughout the trip. We had a rule: The hunter and gun would always ride in the back. It seemed I spent more time bouncing around the exposed back of the Rover clutching my rifle waiting to bail out in pursuit of something, while Mark reclined comfortably up front. As we topped the road, a large herd of gemsbok had just crested over the farthest dune. We made our way quickly up another dune to glass them and look for a mature bull. I was in awe of the tall javelin-horned beasts as they kicked dust across the desert plains. "Al die koei," Sakmin said. This was the first Afrikaans phrase I would learn, and at times it made me sigh. Loosely translated it means "they all cows." Regardless of the species, we were shooting only bulls, rams or stallions. The engine started and off we went. For some 30 minutes we traveled over dune after dune, then stopped in the middle of the road as Johan and Sakmin chatted in Afrikaans. Translation: "fresh gemsbok spoor." We turned off the "main" road, got out and crept across a secondary road of sand to another dune. As I followed Johan to the top, Sakmin whispered, "Bull." Now, I'd never hunted gemsbok, and after being in country only 24 hours I was suddenly acting like I knew the program. "Which one is the shooter?" I asked, considering all gemsbok, male or female, had horns and looked alike to me. "Eighth from the right," Johan said, and if that was not enough clarification, he added, "Wait till he turns backside, then you'll know for sure." More discussion between Sakmin and Johan ensued. "Okay, Pete, let me get a distance for you ... um, 329 yards." Johan advised. "He's now broadside, shoulder high, when you're ready." Aiming my trusty T/C Pro Hunter in .30-06, I fired my first shot in Africa. The bullet hit slightly far back but still punctured the lungs. The bull crashed in the sand and I was thrilled—until it stood and bolted over the dune. We quickly followed over another dune until we saw him in an open area. "Hit him again!" Johan ordered. Thwack! He was down for good. As I stood admiring the splendid animal, I understood what I'd heard from colleagues all these years: There is nothing like hunting in Africa. By the end of our first day, Mark had taken a gemsbok, a record-book red hartebeest and a springbok, and I had my first taste of Africa with a mature gemsbok. *** The next morning was brisk and breezy, making shooting challenging. My face was chapped from the abrasive desert air. I shot a springbok and spent the rest of the day in pursuit of a red hartebeest. Finally, we had him pegged, or so we thought. I jumped out of the truck and asked Mark to carry the sandbag rest for me. Here we were in a desert, surrounded by sand, yet we needed to haul 20 pounds of sand. The hartebeest gave us the slip so I ended up shooting another springbok. While we each had two "trophy" springboks in our hunt package, this one was for the kitchen. The backstraps were so tasty that staff had asked us to shoot a few extra rams. We caught up with the hartebeest later as day three came to a successful end. *** We started the morning hunting the diminutive steenbok. Mature steenbok generally have horns that are 4½ inches or better; horns must top the ears to make the "shooter" category. After a few failed stalks, Mark and I got our steenboks and pressed on to another ranch, where Mark would look for an optional impala. I still had one more trophy springbok tag to fill, and these animals were common throughout the Kalahari. What happened that afternoon frustrated me to complete anguish. Of course, hunting can be humbling. We arrived at a new ranch and found an impala almost out of the gate. I told Mark, "They just let him out of the barnyard for you!" It was just Mark's lucky streak again. He'd be in the shooter seat 30 minutes and score. Now it was my turn. The winds were stronger than on the previous day. While the springbok would stop at 350-400 yards, here they seemed to prefer standing behind trees, making a clear shot hard to find. I finally fired and missed. "It felt right," I told Johan, adding, "I didn't jerk the trigger." Apparently, I'd shot left, in front of the animal's chest. We caught up with another group—another miss. We repeated the cycle several times, again all misses to the left. I was frustrated. On the way home, I thought about each scenario and asked Johan to take me to the range the next morning to check my scope. Over dinner as I replayed my story to Johan's wife and son, I realized what I'd been doing. Because of the wind, I'd tried cinching the sling above my left elbow for more stabilization. Competitive shooters use this technique, so I thought it would work for me, but mid-week of the hunt was no time to experiment. Apparently, I'd wrapped the sling so tight that it was actually straining the fore-end, causing pull on the barrel. The following morning, on a sandbag rest in a calm wind, all my shots were dead-on. *** We lingered outside the house waiting for Andres, our host for the day's hunt. Blesbok herd up during winter months so you usually find them in a group. When we approached the first group, Johan, Andres and Sakmin appeared excited. Johan said there was a monster white blesbok amongst them, and we were going after him. White blesbok are a color-phased part of the species, usually less common and a noble trophy, especially when adorned with tall, thick horns.

Celtic Lobster Fest – SO much fun!
June 2nd, 2010
60 lobsters, chardonnay, celtic tunes, roaming fiddlers, what a night! Not often can you take children to a culinary event without them loosing interest within ten minutes, however such was not the case last Saturday night at Veranda Beach. Perhaps it was the mound of 60 Atlantic lobsters awaiting their boiling bath, or Bill Lynch with his festive apron, maritime Sou'wester hat and engaging demo on how to dig in. However, I think the best moment was their faces when their own 1 lb lobster arrived, they cracked into the claw, dipped it in clarified butter and savoured that first morsel. It was sleeves up and full on from there! The lobster dog appetizers were a little spicy for them, however SO enjoyed by the adults, and everyone enjoyed the brownie volcano finish. Thanks for the family fun Veranda Beach!
Long Weekend Fun at the Beach!
May 25th, 2010
Wine, italian cuisine, & sunshine were enjoyed by all at Veranda Beach as the Canadians descended upon the Beach for their Victoria Day holiday weekend. Children's laughter echoed as they swam, scooted, kicked balls, flew kites, and built sand castles, only to be outdone by their parent's enjoyment of the "Italian Job" Dinner and Wine Pairing on Saturday Night. Globe at the Beach Chef Michael did an outstanding job and the Barbera pairings selected by Winemaker Rusty Figgins were exceptional. I honestly do not think I have ever had better Tiramisu! Three days felt like a week's vacation as I laid poolside yesterday savoring my last few hours at the Beach before returning home to my work week, content that it would only be four more sleeps until I was back at the Beach again!
Terrific Season Opener at Veranda Beach
May 10th, 2010
Veranda Beach's season opener was enjoyed by all this past weekend under blue skies and sunshine. "Globe at the Beach" attracted the most attention, opening with rave reviews of Chef Michael's first offerings. Fantastic food (the ribs are amazing), fabulous new lunch and dinner menus and a terrific Mother's Day Brunch. The Veranda Beach General Store opened with a bang as well, chalk a block full of new surprises and selling out of a few items on its first weekend. The warm weather also welcomed the Resort's first waterskiiers and wakeboarders on Lake Osoyoos and of course the kids were in the pool! With all the events planned it's shaping up to be a great summer at Veranda Beach.
New Restaurant & Enticing Events Calendar

But your dining choices will be further enhanced with the addition of fabulous Italian specialty coffees to start your day, and a more extensive, great tasting lunch and dinner menu inspired by the cultures and cuisines of the owner's travels – full of fresh, fun and creative summer comfort foods all cooked from scratch using the best local ingredients. Globe will also offer daily chefs special creations, a wider selection of local boutique wines and beers and many culinary theme events featuring cuisines from around the world.

Two weeks later it's off to Italy for "An Italian Job" Winemaker's Dinner on May 22nd with a five course Italian cuisine and wine pairing dinner, showcasing Barbera varietals from both the old and new world, and soon to be produced from the Veranda vineyard. And a week later, it's Celtic Lobster Fest. You gotta be here.
Ahhh, back to the Beach…
April 20th, 2010
It is arguably the most beautiful time of the year in the South Okanagan with the orchards all coming into bloom – the colors are amazing. Airport manager Steve Johnston reports the runway expansion is not far off. The Airport is busy with flights as clearing customs is so easy at Oroville. Customs will meet incoming international flights with an hours notice. I wonder how long it will be before we see regular charters from Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver delivering guests to Veranda Beach? Wow, what a weekend, had to get out the sunscreen. The Groeneveld girls were the first in the lake this year though it's bit chilly yet they said.
Another Great Weekend at the Beach!
September 28th, 2009
Friends at the pool and wakeboarding at the end of September. Wow what a summer!
What a Week at Veranda Beach!
August 9th, 2009
Kicked off the week with Sports Day at Veranda Beach. Entered the bocce tournament, joined the raft race and watched the kids go crazy in the watermelon eating contest! Danced under the stars that night to a great band. Put the boat in the water the next day and spent the week on the water tubing, waterskiing and knee boarding, and aside the water on the beach and by the pool. Spent our last evening at Mediterranean Night in the Dairy Point Diner where we enjoyed a terrific buffet. Already booked for next year! You should too!
Water Skiing Fun!
July 24th, 2009
Water skiied this morning at Veranda Beach for the first time in 20 years. What a riot! What was even better was watching the smiles on my boys' faces as they tried water skiing for the very first time. Athletic sorts that they are and with some great coaching, they got up straight away! Another great family moment at Veranda Beach!

Navarro Discount Pharmacy has opened its 31st store, located in Pembroke Pines, Fla.
Retail News Breaks Archives
MIAMI – Navarro Discount Pharmacy has opened its 31st store, located in Pembroke Pines, Fla.
The South Florida chain, the nation's largest Hispanic-owned pharmacy retailer, said Thursday that the Pembroke Pines store is part of its three-year, 22-store expansion strategy throughout the state.
In early December, Navarro announced the opening of its 30th drug store, in Homestead, Fla.
Navarro noted that it previously had a store in Pembroke Pines from 2000 to 2009.
"The new Pembroke Pines store is just what the doctor ordered for the Hispanic community in Broward County," Navarro Discount Pharmacy chief executive officer Juan Ortiz said in a statement on the new store, situated in the Westfork Plaza. "We are very pleased to be in Broward County again and look forward to serving the needs of the growing Hispanic community there."
Attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening were Pembroke Pines Mayor Frank Ortis, Vice Mayor Iris Siple and Miramar Pembroke Pines Regional Chamber of Commerce Chairperson Maggie Wiegandt.
The first 100 customers received a free Navarro reusable bag filled with products, and there was free product sampling throughout the event. Dade Medical College, Baptist Medical Plaza and Dr. Martinez of Martinez Chiropractic staffed tables and administered free vascular, glucose, cholesterol, weight and spinal cord screenings for customers.
The 16,000-square-foot store features new colors and enhanced signage in English and Spanish, wider aisles, a larger fragrance section with added light boxes, and more products in the refrigerated food and dairy section, according to Navarro.
Services include a pediatric pharmacy window for busy parents, medication compounding, a free Diabetes Club, and free prescription delivery for all customers. Navarro's new Vida Mia private-label products, with labels in English and Spanish, are also available in the store.
"At the new Pembroke Pines store, we look forward to making available customers' favorite Hispanic products and continuing to serve them as a friendly, community pharmacy," stated Alys Carvajal, store manager of the Pembroke Pines location.

Translate this page Deputy medical examiner: Military wife Brittany Killgore was strangledThursday, March 14th, 2013 Issue 11, Volume 17.
Dr. Craig Nelson testified in a preliminary hearing for Louis Ray Perez, 46, Dorothy Maraglino, 37, and 25-year-old Jessica Lynn Lopez that the victim, Brittany Killgore, died after being strangled with some sort of ligature. Killgore, who had filed for divorce from her Marine husband and was preparing to move back to Pennsylvania, also had a deep cut from a saw below her left knee, suggesting attempted dismemberment after she died, Nelson testified. Nelson couldn't say whether the victim was tortured. Perez, a Camp Pendleton Marine sergeant, his girlfriend Maraglino and Lopez are charged with murder, conspiracy, kidnapping and torture. Killgore's body was found near Lake Skinner last April 17, four days after she agreed to go on a dinner cruise with Perez. A friend testified that Killgore texted the word "help" shortly after leaving with Perez. Perez told the friend in a subsequent phone call that he dropped Killgore at a bar and saw her go off with "two guys," according to the friend's testimony. Perez allegedly took Killgore to his Fallbrook home -- where authorities said they found ropes, whips, a Taser, a nightstick, spiked gloves and a "sex dungeon" -- before texting Lopez and Maraglino to join him. At some point, Perez decided to kill Killgore, authorities allege. All three defendants were involved in sexual behavior that included bondage, torture and master, servant and slave role-playing, and Killgore was an "unwilling participant" in those activities, sheriff's detective Susan Fiske alleged in search warrant affidavits. The preliminary hearing will resume tomorrow. When it is over, Judge K. Michael Kirkman will determine whether enough evidence was presented for the defendants to stand trial. 5 comments
I hope the judge throws the book at these vicious criminals. Perez is doing everything that an abuser does to discredit his victim, manipulate the authorities, and paint her as a "promiscuous" woman. This is all designed to smear her character or reputation, making jury selection in his favor.
it makes me sick to think that two women stood bye as a young woman was murdered!! send them away forever, every time I drive by the house I get the chills thinking that someone might have been able to save her if anybody knew what was going on. If my friend texted help I would call the cops right away!! I'm in the same area as an about the same age there's no way I could have went to sleep without hearing from her in person
I'm certain that her friends decision to wait until the morning to call the cops is something that she will have to live with forever. I would also have called the cops right away and had them at least check out that house. Remember both girls were young and probably didn't understand the danger. There are evil people out there.
ive lived in fallbrook all my life and when i heard what happened i couldnt believe it . i know bad things happen every where unfortunately but when happens in your own home town its very upsetting and fallbrook has always been a pretty safe place to live . it sickens me that this happened and what that poor girl went through and because those sick cruel people did what they did . they not only killed a young girl but they made alot of fallbrook residents very upset and angry . i feel for her family and i pray for families that have to go through loosing their child . i hate driving by that house and i hope its torn down . i just hope and pray that those animals ( they cant be called people ) get what they deserve if i was a judge i would give them the death penalty or life in prison without parole ever and i cant believe two of the animals were female and stood by and did nothing it makes me so sick .
What house is it?

From a ramshackle office just barely big enough to house a desk, some file cabinets, and a constantly humming computer printer, Armada oversees operations of the label, one of the city's most successful and aggressive marketers of a strain of hip-hop-based dance music that is usually referred to as bass. The walls of these tight quarters are adorned with framed photos of Joey Boy artists such as DJ Uncle Al, as well as plaque-mounted reproductions of Joey Boy album cover art, the majority of which feature shots of tight, round female asses surrounded by gigantic speakers -- visual reminders that, because of its rump-shaking propensities, bass is also known in some quarters as booty music.
Even if you don't know bass from bebop, you've probably heard Armada's product, or at least happened across the booming bass product released by similar labels throughout Florida and the U.S., such as Pandisc, Neurodisc, So-Lo jAM, and NewTown. Most likely, you've felt its shock waves in traffic or while tangled in the exhaust-laden knot of weekend CocoWalk gridlock, where it booms from tricked-up Jeeps and hot-waxed low-riders. The monstrous throb rattles the pavement and the windows of every vehicle, apartment, and house within its formidable sonic reach. For the uninitiated, bass sounds something like this: Imagine your average rap track -- say, Dr. Dre's "Nuthin' but a G Thing" -- stripped of its vocal, melody line, musical samples, and sound collages. Basically, stripped of everything but the computerized beat that holds it all together. Now imagine that beat multitracked and recorded at an eardrum-busting level that makes it rumble like a waking Godzilla foraging for breakfast -- a beat so thick and dense it can blow out speakers with just the slightest boost of the volume knob. Finally, imagine that beat sped up to such a rhythmic frenzy that only the most hyperactive set of snake hips can follow it. That, pretty much, is the bedrock of bass. Occasionally you'll have some vocals thrown in, usually a chant concerned with doing the nasty. Mostly, though, bass is about bass. Lots of bass.
"Once you get used to hearing bass, the rest of the music just sounds weak," explains Armada, a stocky Cuban-born man of 36, dressed on this boiling early summer afternoon in businessman casual -- gray trousers and blue striped button-down shirt, his brown hair slicked back into a short ponytail. From the cramped quarters of his office (which, he announces -- with equal amounts of relief, pride, and apology -- is in the process of being expanded and remodeled), Armada offers a crash course in bass history. The music is an offshoot product of rap's nascent era and is rooted in the early Eighties electronic hip-hop innovations of producers such as Afrika Bambaataa, whose thumping, throbbing 1982 hit "Planet Rock" is a cornerstone of the bass legacy. "The people just wanted more bass in the music," he continues. "All they wanted was that bass. They got used to it, and then other guys added more bass to it to make it sound bigger and better, and it just caught on. It was like a drug. They had to have that bass. And that's what I've been giving them."
Although the Joey Boy catalogue currently bulges with bass releases -- by local, regional, and national acts such as Half Pint, Bass Patrol, and Miami Boyz, among others -- the label wasn't always a low-frequency boom mecca. Joey Boy's first release was actually a reggae record by a now-forgotten group named Rock Five, a single from 1984 named "Ooh Means I Love You," that arrived just as rap and hip-hop were making inroads into the pop charts via New York ensembles such as Run-D.M.C. Before Joey Boy's debut, though, Armada was enrolled at Miami-Dade Community College, taking night courses in photography, studio production, and electronics while working days as a vinyl cutter at his father's record plant. "I was about ready to quit the record business. As soon as I graduated, I was going to leave," Armada recalls. "I was getting my hands all cut up at the plant -- cutting vinyl can be dangerous -- and I was studying different things at school. I just didn't see a future in the music business for me. Of course, at the time I didn't know how much money could be made in it."
