citrus fruits are ideal for making marmalades since they have abundant natural pectin...the cooking time is just 15 minutes start to finish so you can control the quality and gelling easier than if it were a large batch. This means your jam will be clear...

USPlabs Iron Day – Leg Development
Posted on May 24, 2012 by John Davies There have been 0 comments
Through the now fifty-one previous editions of the "USPlabs Iron Day" we have been able to provide our readers a broad array of training regimes to reflect their goals. Whether interest lay in strength and bodybuilding pursuits, weight loss, needs of the military and law enforcement community or athletics, these training guides can serve as a tremendous blueprint towards goal achievement.
This effort came about due to radically improved technology that allows us to communicate with readers to which we are ability to quickly respond to their needs. With an open line of communication via Twitter, Google+ and Facebook we have been able to provide up-to-date information on efficient exercise approaches and ensure all readers utilize USPlabs products just as I have to their utmost.
Tammy Bravomalo discusses her supplement stack.
This commitment to providing information has taken a tremendous leap forward with the very recent release of the USPlabs | Ultra Premium Supplements educational library which houses considerable videos on proper exercise technique and suitable for virtually every method of training. As we push forward with the USPlabs Iron Day we will be making great use of these videos and I invite you to share with your friends.
As per our original intent of the USPlabs Iron Day, each Friday we will provide a daily training program (per reader choice), with a follow up supplement protocol on Facebook. Readers would cast their vote via Twitter (through either direct message or the "@" function) or Facebook and decide the topic.
Our choice for this week's comes via Twitter and a member of the TestPowder beta testers who wishes to increase his Squat and overall leg power.
Legs development
The first point that must be understood clearly is without proper preparation you will not generate your maximal force. Your favourite music, passive stretches or stroll on the treadmill is not preparation and to achieve optimal results you will properly activate the hip and trunk region. Failure to do so and you will under-perform. That is not anecdotal commentary but absolute fact.
The most direct route to achieving this goal, without involving costly equipment, whilst deriving other long-term benefits is a combination of my hurdle mobility program, tumbling and RED2. I believe these are daily exercises regardless of training but certainly must be performed digging into the Squat racks.
RED2 a series of basic lunges must be mastered, both forward and backwards.
- Forward
- Side lunge
- "Toy Soldier"
Perform each movement such that the entire RED2 section is two continuous six-minute blocks.
Hurdle mobility drills, #9 & #1-
Tumbling (over ten metres)
- Forward Roll (stay in tuck)
- Bear Crawl
- Spider Lunge
At this stage you are physically ready for optimal performance and now must "turn the screw" with absolute mental focus.
Squats 4 sets by 6 reps @65%
Dumbbell Snatch (hang) 4 sets x reps @65%
Snatch Grip Deadlift 4 sets x reps @65%
(35 seconds rest between sets)
- a quick note to those who read "65%" and think it is "light". No, it is with mind-numbing intensity that will leave everyone watching muttering the word, "athlete". There are no words to describe this other than |get ready and then , attack, attack, attack.
Good Morning Squat 2 sets x 3 reps (90%)
Jump Shrug (Clean grip) 2 sets x 3 reps (90%)
Bulgarian Squat 2 sets x 3 reps (90%)
(90 seconds rest between sets)
How to perform Good Morning Squat
How to perform Bulgarian Squat
How to perform Jump Shrug (Clean)
How to perform STS™
a) Cossack Squats, 25 to each side
b) Buddy Carries, 100 metres (alternate)
c) Sledgehammer Strikes, alternating overhead strikes
repeat 3 sets
How to perform the Cossack Squat
This is not "easy work" and requires complete commitment. Do not omit because you think bodyweight work is "easy" and perform each movement with perfect form. Create maximal tension throughout the entire action.
Core / Abdominal Training
Side Plank
Horse pose
Flying Squirrel
Perform two to four sets of each with 15-30 second holds per side.
Step two in this plan is visit the Facebook page well in advance of starting your training day for expert advice on how to optimize your results.

Belize Restaurants
Near San Pedro
Tel: 501 226 2809
A seaside restaurant with an open patio about three miles north of San Pedro (take a water taxi), Capricorn is one of Belize's most famous eateries. Signature offerings include rosemary focaccia, medallion of filet mignon in a red wine and mushroom sauce, peel-and-eat shrimp, stone crab claws with a creamy garlic and dill dip, fresh seviche, sautéed conch, seafood crepes, and Key lime pie. There are also three air-conditioned cabanas on the beach if you'd like to stay the night. Reservations for the restaurant are a must.
Open daily 8 am to 9 pm, September through mid-June; Thursdays through Tuesdays mid-June through August.
Pescador Drive
San Pedro , Ambergris Caye
Tel: 501 226 2176
Elvia Staines has come a long way since she started slinging burgers out of her home in 1974. With the help of daughter Jennie, this Ambergris native now runs one of the island's most popular restaurants: a screened-in, sandy-floored outpost with a tree growing right through the thatched roof. The dishes are local, the ingredients fresh, and the tastes tremendous. Stop by on a Friday night for the famed Mayan buffet. Aside from winning raves, dishes such as chicken mole and toro pinto (boiled corn bread with beans inside) reflect Staines's effort to keep Mayan traditions alive.
Open Mondays through Saturdays 11 am to 2 pm and 5:30 to 10 pm.
Ka'ana Boutique Resort & Spa
Benque Viejo Road
San Ignacio
Tel: 501 824 3350
Overseen by a Guatemalan gourmet known as chef Manolo Castillo, this panCentral American restaurant (where you can also get pasta and steak) relies on Ka'ana's own organic garden for produce and well-stocked cellar for accompanying wines. (The selection should already be familiar to overnight guests, all of whom are treated to an in-cellar tasting after check-in.) Whatever you eat and drink, save room for dessert: an excellent homemade gelato available in Mayan chocolate, coconut, and other local flavors.
Open daily 7 am to 9:30 pm.
Mata Chica Beach Resort
North Beach
San Pedro , Ambergris Caye
Tel: 501 220 5010
It's just as well most of the seating here is indoors, as it would be a shame to lose such good food to a stiff Caribbean breeze (a regular occurrence on this part of the island). Some of the humblest dishes at the Mata Chica hotel's restaurant are the best: The gazpacho, for example, warrants seconds. Then there are the chocolate-chip cookies, whichthough unlisted on the menuare unequivocally some of the finest in existence. Of course, the more expected seafood dishes don't disappoint either, hence the boatloads of diners who arrive from all over the island.
Open daily 6:30 to 10 pm.
Azul Resort
North Beach
San Pedro , Ambergris Caye
Tel: 501 226 4012
The appetizers at this open-air, beachside restaurant are so addictiveand so generously sizedthat there's a serious risk of not getting to your main course. Two of particular note: the hummus and pita plate, which (perhaps thanks to the extra-kicky, imported zaatar) rivals anything you'd get in the Middle East; and the fried plantains taste as if they were prepared by an old Cuban woman who has spent her entire life perfecting them. Though in truth, theylike all dishes herewere prepared by the proprietor of Azul Resort: a 38-year-old expunk-band manager from San Francisco. Guests from across the island gladly make the boat trip over to experience the improbable alchemy for themselves.
Open Tuesdays through Saturdays 12 to 2 pm and 6 to 9 pm.

AARP Helps Seniors Find Jobs
If you're over 55 and having trouble finding a job, there is one place that can help. AARP's Senior Employment Program served more than 16-thousand people last year.

His family plans a 10:30 a.m. mass next Wednesday at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church, with a visitation with his family planned from 2:30-4:30 p.m.at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in downtown Cincinnati.
A program honoring his life and career is planned Sept. 5 at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, starting at 10:30 a.m.

Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut will be released for PS3 in March 2013, publisher Rising Star Games has said today.
Deadly Premonition launched on Xbox 360 back in 2010. It's a bizarre paranormal open-world RPG of sorts, in which you take control of special agent Francis York Morgan to investigate a murder as you get psychic messages from cups of coffee and periodically slip into a demonic underworld full of monsters.
As well as bringing the game to PS3 for the first time, the Director's Cut promises a "new scenario from the game's director, Hidetaka 'Swery' Suehiro", as well as "reworked control system allowing for an even better combat experience".
Here's a teaser trailer:

Best Supermarket Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach 2003 - Publix
Think every Publix is the same? Well, think again. All Publixes (or is it Publii?) may have the standard supermarket fare -- a produce section, dairy, butcher, breads -- basically a section for all of the food groups, with various household goods and junk food filling the gaps. A few stores have a good deli section. But how many boast a food court and full-time sushi chefs? Landlocked Tamarac may not have a lot going for it, but the residents of this suburb can at least point to their Publix with pride. As urban sprawl begins to crawl outward, those of us who remain in the city will have to put up with ever-more-shameful excuses for Publixes as the new stores being built out west make ours look like Third World marketplaces.

@burcidi-- I think they all work about the same. There are so many products on the market now for waxing, desensitizing wipes, numbing gels, sprays and creams. None of these relieve the pain completely but they help like you said. I heard that the numbing cream used by tattoo artists are very good but I have no idea where to get it.
I have a friend who never uses a numbing cream. She says she doesn't feel much pain because she's been waxing for years. I guess skin becomes used to the pain after a while. I've only waxed three times though so I still feel a lot of pain and numbing cream is a must for me.

The University of California (UC), Agriculture and Natural Resources Division, recently held its fall Exotic/Invasive Pests and Diseases Research Program (EPDRP) workshop at UC-Davis. The workshop included 30 presentations and 32 poster presentations on research projects studying the basic and applied biology of exotic/invasive pests and diseases that presently affect California or are likely to do so in the future. The program funds a broad range of projects including invasive insects, weeds, pathogens, and vertebrates.
EPDRP is funded by the UC Riverside Center for Invasive Species Research and the UC Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program with a special grant from NIFA. EPDRP solicits new proposals each year for developing and promoting basic and applied research programs that address exotic pests and diseases found in agriculture, urban, and natural environments in California. This year's request for new proposals will be posted on the EPDRP Web site and are due in April. The program solicits proposals from scientists affiliated with public research institutions, both within and outside of California. Funding is not restricted to University of California investigators, although projects are strongly encouraged to include at least one UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources academic employee as an investigator to ensure relevance and linkage to the Agriculture Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension system. Current investigators participating in the EPDRP are from Alabama, California, Florida, North Dakota, New Mexico, and Texas.
Contact Rick Roush, UC Statewide IPM Program director at (530) 752-8350, or Herb Bolton, NIFA national program leader, for more information.

Awesome pizza cutter, VERY sharp and heavily made. Also great for cutting other hot items. Would recommend highly.
I bought the 4 different Animal House kitchen tools; corkscrew opener, pizza cutter, garlic press and can opener. They're strong, fun to use and get a lot of compliments and interest.
I thought the cutting wheel would be larger, like other pizza cutters I've bought. This one is small but it works and delights guests so for the price, definitely a good buy.
Great product. Easy to use and clean. It is also very cute!
I definitely love this product, I used it a lot so far and it cuts nice and clean, I even used it to cut apple pie and pumpkin pie and it was a delight to work with. It looks fun and it works fantastic!

During the winter I put my hair in Senegalese Twists. It's my protective style of choice, keeping my hair and vulnerable ends under wraps and not putting any significant strain on fragile hairline as far as I can tell. That said I do put them in myself so can adjust the tension as required….
I was tweeting about putting them in this weekend with a movie marathon session to accompany me and a few twitter buddies requested photos so I thought I'd share here. I actually learned how to do them on YouTube. So I thought I'd also share a helpful how-to video for those who want to put them in themselves.
I was drawn to Senegalese twists as I'd wrongly assumed they were as easy as regular twists. They're not far off in terms of simplicity but the technique is slightly different as I learned after my first attempt swiftly unravelled and fell out. So after a quick trip to YouTube I discovered how to connect them from the root and the specific roll motion needed to make the twist "lock". The trick is: "roll to right and twist over to the left".
The 100% kanekalon hair recommended for this can apparently be set with hot water to seal the ends or curl with rollers. Unfortunately I've never succeeded in doing this properly and just end up with shiny plastic looking ends that unravel??? (Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?) So instead I run the end quickly through a flame just to warm it slightly and run my fingers down the end to bind it together as it cools. All super quick.
So that's pretty much what I was up to this weekend spurred along by Nick Cannon in Drumline and the entire Bourne Trilogy. I always notice a significant amount of growth by the time I take them out too so I decided to keep them in for most of this year taking a couple of weeks break inbetween. I still haven't finished actually hence the half up-do in the pic above.
So now I just have to decide what to watch whilst I finish off the rest this evening? Any sugggestions?
Sengalese Twist Tool Kit:
- Tail comb for parting
- Clips to section hair
- 100% Kanekalon Hair (I use grade 1 and cut it into 3 equal lengths for chest length style)
- Hot water or a lighter to seal ends
- Patience
- Some good films to watch
- Remember to roll right and twist to the left

Two stories today illustrate how e-commerce is changing the U.S. economy. First, there are indications that demand for shipping boxes is rising fast enough to give the manufacturers of containerboard used to make these boxes sufficient market power to both raise prices and make price increases stick. Investment Analysts from both Goldman Sachs and Jeffries both released Goldman Sachs both raised their ratings of containboard manufacturers to reflect their belief that the pricing power that these manufacturers now have is sustainable.

FedEx Growth Continues to Rely on USPS
In its 1st quarter 2013 earnings report FedEx reported that it handled over 108 million FedEx SmartPost parcels delivered by the Postal Service. FedEx SmartPost volume grew by 17.6% on a year-to-year basis as compared to a 4.7% growth for shipments that FedEx delivers through its FedEx Ground and FedEx Home networks. Currently FedEx SmartPost generates 29.9% of the shipment volume tendered to FedEx Ground. The USPS share of FedEx Ground's deliveries has increased by 2.4% over the past year and 6.3 since 2010. FedEx SmartPost's double digit growth rate suggests that the market for USPS delivered parcels is extremely strong. During this quarter, United Parcel Service was in at [...] Read more »
United Parcel Service Earnings Report Has Good News for the USPS
United Parcel Service reported earnings press release today provides hints of a changing parcel delivery marketplace that favors the parcel delivery services that the Postal Service does best. Volume grew across all products as ground rose 3%, UPS Next Day Air® increased 5% and deferred air climbed 8.6%. The majority of the improvement was driven by large e-commerce customers shipping low-weight residential packages. The shift to residential deliveries has resulted in UPS's revenue per piece rising far less than its change in rates from a yar ago. UPS states that the change is due to a customer and product mix. The change in customer mix describes the growing proportion of UPS"s [...] Read more »
Amazon Goes Head to Head with USPS with Parcel Lockers in Virginia
Amazon has now introduced parcel lockers to a third metropolitan area in the United States by installing seven parcel lockers in seven 7-Eleven's in Northern Virginia. By installing parcel lockers in the same general geographic area as the Postal Service, Amazon clearly indicates that its parcel locker delivery system is a direct competitor with delivery by the U.S. Postal Service, United Parcel Service and FedEx. While Amazon's parcel lockers are in the same general geographic area, Amazon has made some real estate and operating/software decisions that may provide Amazon with a competitive advantage among customers that find locker delivery attractive Amazon's Lockers are in More Up-market Zip codes than Gopost Amazon [...] Read more »
USPS Delivered 30% of FedEx Ground Shipments in FedEx's Fiscal Fourth Quarter
For the twelfth consecutive quarter FedEx has increased the proportion of shipments handled by its FedEx Ground subsidiary over the same quarter the previous year. The continued rapid growth of FedEx Ground's SmartPost service reflects the continuing increase in business-to-consumer shipments that FedEx transports for its customers. The following chart illustrates the share of FedEx Ground shipments delivered by the Postal Service since 2009. The increase in USPS share of deliveries reflects the faster market growth of FexEx SmartPost as compared to FedEx Ground's delivery using other FedEx Ground or FedEx Home contractors. The fast growth rate of Fedex SmartPost reflects the need of B-2-C online retailers for a low cost delivery service [...] Read more »

A Close Up Look at gopost
The gopost parcel lockers appear all but ready for live customer tests. Viewing one in person clearly showed to me how a customer thinking of using a gopost would interact and how it would work for both able and disabled individualsm, as well as adults of a full range of heights. What a Customer First Sees A customer interested in using gopost will have no trouble finding it. The bright red and blue colors make it stand out, just like Redbox and Blockbuster kiosks do. The use of color focuses the consumers attention right where they have to go, the center console. Given that it is both bright red and stands out a [...] Read more »
Why Mail Matters: L.L. Bean
On March 24th, L. L. Bean announced that it will offer free shipping on all shipments no matter how small. L. L. Bean can afford to do this because many of its light weight shipments and delivered through the Postal Service either through a direct contract with the Postal Service or through a consolidator like FedEx's SmartPost or UPS SurePost. L.L. Bean is not alone in offering free shipping. Firms like Newegg.com use free shipping on specific items to shift customer demand toward certain items and away from others. Landsend offers free shipping offers to e-mail subscirbers on a regular basis Other firms require minimum purchases ranging from $25 for Amazon.com to $99 for Macy's. [...] Read more »
Why the Postal Service Matters: UPS Surepost
FedEx has been offering a branded joint-line service with the Postal Service for some time now. United Parcel Service will likely soon market its joint line service under a new name "UPS Surepost" rather than previous unappealing name, "UPS Basic." The name UPS Surepost name was trademarked in 2010. The name does not appear on UPS's website but based on posts on Able Commerce Shopping Cart Software and Browncafe, it appears that UPS is test marketing the brand and the service. Information on UPS Surepost is also available on a web page dedicated to UPS Worldship software. Information available on this servcie from the Worldship help information is as follows: The [...] Read more »

· High accuracy· Nonlinearity 0.1% Temperature coefficient 0.005%/°C· Multiple functions· Multiply, divide, square, square root, RMS-to-DC conversion, AGC and modulate/demodulate· Wide bandwidth 4 MHz· Signal-to-noise ratio 94 dB
The RC4200 analog multiplier has complete compensation for nonlinearity, the primary source of error and distortion. This multiplier also has three onboard operational amplifiers designed specifically for use in multiplier logging circuits. These amplifiers are frequency compensated for optimum AC response in a logging circuit, the heart of a multiplier, and can therefore provide superior AC response. The RC4200 can be used in a wide variety of applications without sacrificing accuracy. Four-quadrant multiplication, two-quadrant division, square rooting, squaring and RMS conversion can all be easily implemented with predictable accuracy. The nonlinearity compensation is not just trimmed at a single temperature, it is designed to provide compensation over the full temperature range. This nonlinearity compensation combined with the low gain and offset drift inherent in a well-designed monolithic chip provides a very high accuracy and a low temperature coefficient.
· Low distortion audio modulation circuits· Voltage-controlled active filters· Precision oscillators
The RC4200 multiplier is designed to multiply two input currents (I1 and I2) and to divide by a third input current (I4). The output is also in the form of a current (I3). A simplified circuit diagram is shown in the Block Diagram. The nominal relationship between the three inputs and the output is: -------I4 (1)
Previous multiplier designs have suffered from an additional undesired linear term in the above equation; the collector current times the emitter resistance. The ICrE term introduces a parabolic nonlinearity even with matched transistors. Fairchild Semiconductor has developed a unique and proprietary means of inherently compensating for this undesired ICrE term. Furthermore, this Fairchild Semiconductor developed circuit technique compensates linearity error over temperature changes. The nonlinearity versus temperature is significantly improved over earlier designs. From equation (2) and by assuming equal transistor junction temperatures, summing base-to-emitter voltage drops around the transistor array yields: In -----I S4 q This equation reduces to: I2 = -------------I I3 I4
The three input currents must be positive and restricted to a range to 1 mA. These currents go into the multiplier chip at op amp summing junctions which are nominally at zero volts. Therefore, an input voltage can be easily converted to an input current by a series resistor. Any number of currents may be summed at the inputs. Depending on the application, the output current can be converted to a voltage by an external op amp or used directly. This capabilty of combining input currents and voltages in various combinations provides great versatility in application. Inside the multiplier chip, the three op amps make the collector currents of transistors Q1, Q2 and Q4 equal to their respective input currents (I1, I2, and I4). These op amps are designed with current source outputs and are phase-compensated for optimum frequency response as a multiplier. Power drain of the op amps was minimized to prevent the introduction of undesired thermal gradients on the chip. The three op amps operate on a single supply voltage (nominally -15V) and total quiescent current drain is less than 4 mA. These special op amps provide significantly improved performance in comparison 741-type op amps. The actual multiplication is done within the log-antilog configuration of the Q1-Q4 transistor array. These four transistors, with associated proprietary circuitry, were specially designed to precisely implement the relationship. - In -------V BEN = -----Q SN (2)
The rate of reverse saturation current IS1IS2/IS3IS4, depends on the transistor matching. In a monolithic multiplier this matching is easily achieved and the rate is very close to unity, typically 1.0±1%. The final result is the desired relationship: -------I4 (5)
The inherent linearity and gain stability combined with low cost and versatility makes this new circuit ideal for a wide range of nonlinear functions.

San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco 49ers news, rumors and injuries49ers | Interested in Jarryd Hayne Thu, 26 Feb 2015 04:55:04 -0800 Australian rugby player Jarryd Hayne is being looked at by the San Francisco 49ers. It was thought the Detroit Lions had a contract with Hayne as a running back, but a deal was not finalized. Comment () | Share: | Source: CSNBayArea.com - Matt Maiocco 49ers | Ricky Jean-Francois to visit Wed, 25 Feb 2015 09:07:40 -0800 Free-agent DT Ricky Jean-Francois (Colts) is scheduled to meet with the San Francisco 49ers this week, according to a source. Comment () | Share: | Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport 49ers | Frank Gore contract talks underway Thu, 19 Feb 2015 14:09:34 -0800 San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent RB Frank Gore's representation is engaged in contract negotiations with the team, 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula said at the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine. Tomsula and 49ers general manager Trent Baalke agreed that re-signing their own talent was a priority. Fantasy Tip: Gore may still have a little bit left in the tank for fantasy owners, but investing anything more than a midround selection is a risky proposition. Treat him as a modest RB3, at best, if he returns to the 49ers. Comment () | Share: | Source: NFL.com - Marc Sessler 49ers | SF begins talks with Michael Crabtree Thu, 19 Feb 2015 14:08:50 -0800 San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent WR Michael Crabtree and the team have begun contract talks, according to head coach Jim Tomsula. General manager Trent Baalke said Wednesday, Feb. 18, that it's a priority for the 49ers to re-sign their own talent. Fantasy Tip: It looks like things are pointing up for Crabtree to return to San Francisco. He's coming off a hugely disappointing 2014 campaign after playing in just five games in 2013, but has at least WR2 potential when he's healthy. Comment () | Share: | Source: NFL.com - Marc Sessler 49ers | GM to meet with Michael Crabtree's agent Wed, 18 Feb 2015 23:46:54 -0800 San Francisco 49ers general manager Trent Baalke plans to meet with the agent for free-agent WR Michael Crabtree (49ers) at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Fantasy Tip: Crabtree is one of several free agents on the 49ers. He had a bounce-back year with 698 yards and four touchdowns. Crabtree would be a decent WR3 option in fantasy leagues but could go up a bit depending on where he lands. Comment () | Share: | Source: Sacramento Bee - Matt Barrows 49ers | GM to meet with Justin Smith Wed, 18 Feb 2015 23:24:52 -0800 San Francisco 49ers DE Justin Smith is likely to meet with general manager Trent Baalke at the NFL Combine. Baalke wants to determine whether Smith will return for a 15th NFL season.

Willis is scheduled to make $8.315 million, and Bowman will make $5.45 million. Willis continues to rehab his toe after having season-ending surgery and Bowman is over a year removed from a knee injury. Comment () | Share: | Source: CSNBayArea.com - Matt Maiocco 49ers | Vernon Davis will return to SF Wed, 18 Feb 2015 17:09:49 -0800 San Francisco 49ers TE Vernon Davis will return to the team next season, according to general manager Trent Baalke. Davis will make $4.95 million in the final year of his deal, but he's coming off a season in which he had just 26 catches for a measly 245 yards and two touchdowns (both in the season opener). Davis is expected to take part in the team's offseason program after skipping the mandatory minicamp last offseason. Fantasy Tip: Davis' exceptionally poor 2014 screwed all of his owners over royally. Expect his price to drop significantly in 2015 drafts. That means he could be a bargain as a low-end TE1 or top-tier TE2. A bounce-back season seems like it'd be in store, especially if Colin Kaepernick improves in the pocket. Comment () | Share: | Source: CSNBayArea.com - Matt Maiocco 49ers | Stevie Johnson to start in 2015? Tue, 17 Feb 2015 22:27:15 -0800 San Francisco 49ers WR Stevie Johnson might be a clear starting candidate for the 2015 season if impending free-agents WR Anquan Boldin and/or WR Michael Crabtree are not brought back. Johnson stands to count a little more than $6 million against the salary cap. It is unknown if the team feels that cost is too steep. Fantasy Tip: Johnson's fantasy outlook hinges on the moves of the 49ers in the offseason, whether a first-round pick is used on a receiver and if Bruce Ellington and Quinton Patton can take another giant leap forward. Comment () | Share: | Source: Sacramento Bee - Matt Barrows 49ers | Michael Crabtree unlikely to return? Tue, 17 Feb 2015 22:26:41 -0800 San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent WR Michael Crabtree was frustrated with his role at the end of last season, and he recently removed any mention of the 49ers from his Twitter bio. Some interpret that as a signal he is ready to move on to a new organization. Fantasy Tip: Crabtree has a tremendous amount of talent, but he also has struggled to stay healthy over the years. Perhaps a change of scenery will transform him into the star he was supposed to be coming out of Texas Tech as a 10th overall pick Comment () | Share: | Source: Sacramento Bee - Matt Barrows 49ers | Perrish Cox, Chris Culliver to be retained? Tue, 17 Feb 2015 10:32:23 -0800 San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent CBs Perrish Cox and Chris Culliver are wanted back by the team, and the Niners are expected to make a push to re-sign both before the opening of free agency March 10. Comment () | Share: | Source: CSNBayArea.com - Matt Maiocco 49ers | Mike Iupati unlikely for franchise tag Tue, 17 Feb 2015 10:25:20 -0800 San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent OG Mike Iupati is expected to attract plenty of attention on the open market this year. He averaged $3.296 million in his first five NFL seasons, and he's in line for a significant raise. However, it would likely cost the Niners more than $12.5 million to keep him around on a franchise tag, which makes that unlikely. San Fran doesn't want to pay a guard more than an offensive tackle, and they signed OT Anthony Davis to a deal that will pay him $6.5 million on average through the 2019 season. The Niners last used the franchise tag on S Dashon Goldson in 2012. Comment () | Share: | Source: CSNBayArea.com - Matt Maiocco 49ers | Franchise tag not realistic for Crabtree Tue, 17 Feb 2015 10:20:37 -0800 San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent WR Michael Crabtree, who made $4 million last year, is unlikely to receive the franchise tag after his production was disappointing in 2014. The Niners are also unlikely to offer him a multi-year deal that surpasses that of WR Anquan Boldin's $6 million-a-year average. Fantasy Tip: The good news is that Crabtree is more valuable in point-per-reception leagues, but the bad news is that his poor 2014 season will likely see many sour on him in 2015 fantasy football drafts. If he remains in SF, Colin Kaepernick's performance will depend on whether Crabtree can have a bounceback season and return value for his owners. Comment () | Share: | Source: CSNBayArea.com - Matt Maiocco 49ers | Frank Gore won't be tagged Tue, 17 Feb 2015 10:15:40 -0800 San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent RB Frank Gore could re-sign with the club, but the Niners have zero interest in using the $10 million-plus franchise tag on an aging running back. Fantasy Tip: Gore is nearing the end of his illustrious career, and we could easily see him signing elsewhere to finish off his great career. Either way, he'll likely be used as running back depth, and the same can be said about his fantasy value. Comment () | Share: | Source: NFL.com - Gregg Rosenthal 49ers | Frank Gore still uncertain on future Mon, 16 Feb 2015 11:51:03 -0800 San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent RB Frank Gore still isn't sure if team management wants him back for next season. "If they want to bring me back, they will," Gore said. "We'll sit down; see what they want me to do. See what my role is and if I like it, I'll sign. If I don't, I'll try to see what other teams think of me." Fantasy Tip: Gore could very well be on his way out of San Francisco with second-year Carlos Hyde chomping at the bit for a starting role. Gore seems to be over the hill at this point in his career and had his lowest amount of rushing touchdowns (4) since 2010, though he still eclipsed 1,100 rushing yards.

Current Time
377 Greenwich Street
New York City , New York
Tel: 212 925 3797
Concierge.com's insider take:
The Greenwich Hotel, Robert De Niro's first starring role as a hotelier, has been a smash hit, but the restaurant, Ago, was an immediate flop. The actor wisely responded by shuttering the place and reopening months later with a new name and new chef. Locanda Verde is not just an improvement on its ghost-town predecessor, it's one of the city's most popular new restaurants. Andrew Carmellini, its immensely talented Italian-American chef, creates lusty, family-style food intended for sharing—this is a trattoria best enjoyed with a hungry group. Everything—from charred octopus to heaping bowls of red-sauce pasta to hearty platters of roast porchetta and chicken—arrives in the center of the table. Pass the dishes around for a Sunday-supper banquet any night of the week.—Jay Cheshes

It was tough seeing Willie McGinn go to the Browns - but at least it was justified becuase of the Romeo connection. It wasn't great to see Givens go to the Titans - but at least we all could say that he deserves every $$ he gets out of them for being a 7th round pick that worked his ass off and didn't make a lot of money in his first several years. But, Adam going to the Colts is sickening. He has been one of the highest paid kickers in the NFL with the Pats, and was a local icon with all of the endorsements he had going locally. What a kick in the nut sack...thanks Adam.
Yup! Exactly. The Pats have paid Adam, and paid him well! Thanks Adam! I truly hope you come to regret this day once you retire!
presenting the newest hated traitor of New England sports history.... not roger, not wade, #4 in your program, but #10000 in our hearts... the POS adam V... hope you never win a game again... fans who remember his great kicks should also remember we won a couple of those games DESPITE his easy misses.
hope the contract makes up for the loss of endorsements.. dumb@ass... there go the truck sales.. lol...
In the immortal words of Mr. Corleone: "It was you, Fredo. I know it was you. You broke my heart. You broke my heart." .
What a big FU this is to the Patriots and the fans. I will hold back some of my comments not knowing the difference between the contract that the Colts gave him and what the Patriots offered him. All I know is my company paid Adam 10k for an appearence at a company event. He was there for all of about 6hrs. I am sure he was doing alot of these appearences. I don't think my company will be requesting his presence anytime soon.
He is just a phuckin kicker people... His regular stats were NOT that good. So what???? You mean to tell me that he is the only one???? Get a grip. Bottom line...he isn't worth the money that he was asking. Kickers shouldn't have to win the game for you.

MARNI "100 chairs" and "ABI-TANTI. The migrating multitude"
Marni presents in the new space in viale Umbria 42 in Milan, the 2013 edition of the project "100 chairs", which includes models and colours linked to the idea of urban sitting rooms.
The collection, which is composed of chairs, chaise-longue, rocking chairs and tables, has been enriched by models in bright colours designed for children. The sitting rooms have been created in colour variations fit for interior spaces, featuring new models, woven patterns and combinations. Again this production has been entirely made by hand in Colombia by ex-prisoners, aiming to reinforce the prisoners resettlement into social and working life.
During the Salone del Mobile 2013 MARNI meets "ABI-TANTI. The migrating multitude", a project of the Education Department of the Castello di Rivoli Museo d'Arte Contemporanea, which calls into play the concepts of identity and difference, the encounter with the otherness – the being that comes to us from another world. The Inhabi-tants are small objects in form of
humanoids/robots with arms, bodies, heads and feet made out of industrial waste in the shape of small sticks, spheres, semi-spheres and cubes. On April 13th and 14th a workshop will be held at Spazio MARNI in viale Umbria 42 where it will be possible to create the Inhabi-tants of the Marni family, which will join the numerous families created throughout the world. Recycled materials, as well as fabrics and components of bijou, part of the Marni collections, can be assembled to build a new Inhabi-tant. The chairs of Marni and the Inhabi-tants come from faraway and peacefully invade the spaces.
As well as a commitment to use recycled materials, the project reaffirms Marni's involvement with charitable initiatives with a donation being made to a worthy cause.

Current Time
Central District
Hong Kong
Tel: 852 3518 9688
Concierge.com's insider take:
Denizens of Hong Kong's perennially grooving Lan Kwai Fong neighborhood can slide off the bar stool and into these beds without missing a beat. While the lobby staff is more attractive than effective, the street-facing, glass-enclosed space features retro-chic decor with cushy loungers that let the ultrasocial clientele keep an eye on the surrounding scene. Walls are hung with works by China's hottest photographers, including Wing Shya and Patrick Lee. And you can detox over on-site yoga (or take off those stilettos for Chinese foot reflexology). In the 95 compact but comfortable rooms, Aeron chairs and oversize desktops aid those who plan to work between nights on the town. But the most important features are the well-insulated floor-to-ceiling windows that block noise from after-dark revelry. Book any of the rooms ending in 0208 for spectacular views over Central District rooftops to the Hong Kong Harbor.

Mary Marg Helgenberger[1] (born November 16, 1958) is an American film and television actress known for her roles as Catherine Willows in the CBS drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and as K.C. Koloski in the ABC drama China Beach, which earned her the 1990 Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
Contents |
Marg (pronounced with a hard "G") Helgenberger was born in Fremont, Nebraska and raised in North Bend, Nebraska. She graduated from North Bend Central High School. She is the daughter of Mary Kay (née Bolte), a nurse, and Hugh Helgenberger, a meat inspector.[2][3] Helgenberger is of Irish and German descent[4] and had a Roman Catholic upbringing.[5] Marg has one older sister named Ann and a younger brother named Curt. Helgenberger played the French horn in her high school marching band. Until she went to college, Helgenberger aspired to be a nurse, as had her mother. Marg attended Kearney State College (now the University of Nebraska at Kearney) in Kearney, Nebraska, then attended Northwestern University's School of Speech in Evanston, Illinois (now the School of Communication) and earned a B.S. degree in speech and drama.[6]
Helgenberger began as a nightly weather girl at KHGI-TV in Kearney, Nebraska, while attending college (her name was changed by the producer to Margi McCarty). During the summer she also worked as a deboner at her father's meat packing plant. After portraying the role of Blanche Dubois in a university production of A Streetcar Named Desire, she developed an interest in acting.
While performing in a summer 1981 NU campus productions of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, in which she played Kate, Marg was spotted by a scout for the TV soap opera Ryan's Hope. Soon after completing college, Marg landed her first professional role on the long-running ABC Daytime soap opera, playing amateur cop Siobhan Ryan Novak (1982–1986), a role previously played by Sarah Felder and Ann Gillespie. Helgenberger departed Ryan's Hope in January 1986 and was replaced in the role of Siobhan by Carrell Myers and Barbara Blackburn.
Helgenberger guest starred in an episode of ABC's mystery/detective series based on Robert B. Parker's Spenser novels, Spenser: For Hire, NBC's legal drama Matlock and ABC's drama thirtysomething. She also played a regular role as Natalie Thayer, opposite Margot Kidder and James Read, on CBS' six-episode drama comedy series Shell Game (1987).
Karen Charlene "K.C." Koloski, a heroin-addicted prostitute on the ABC war drama series China Beach, was Marg's first prominent role. Her performance from 1988 to 1991 won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 1990.
In 1989, Helgenberger made her feature film debut in a leading role as an all-night answering service operator in one segment of the Wheat brothers' horror anthology After Midnight. She followed it up with a role in Steven Spielberg's romantic comedy-drama Always (starring Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter, and John Goodman), a modern version of the original 1943 Victor Fleming film A Guy Named Joe.
During the early to mid 1990s, Marg played roles in Michael Bortman's adaptation of Robert Boswell's novel, Crooked Hearts (1991; with Peter Berg, Vincent D'Onofrio, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Noah Wyle and Peter Coyote), Gregg Champion's action comedy The Cowboy Way (1994), in which she played Woody Harrelson's love interest, and had a small role as Capt. Alison Sinclair in Michael Bay's action comedy film starring Martin Lawrence and Will Smith, Bad Boys (1995). She also played Dr. Laura Baker, a molecular biologist, in Roger Donaldson's sci-fi thriller, Species (1995), and reprised the role in the sequel, Species II (1998).
During that time, Helgenberger had roles in such television films as Blind Vengeance, Lifetime's Death Dreams, PBS' historical documentary Not on the Frontline (as a narrator) and CBS' In Sickness and in Health. She was also seen opposite Bruno Kirby in I'll Be Waiting, a segment of Showtime's Fallen Angels helmed by Tom Hanks, and as a novelist on the ABC miniseries Stephen King's The Tommyknockers opposite Jimmy Smits. She was also seen in the CBS miniseries When Love Kills: The Seduction of John Hearn and made her first collaboration with director Peter Weller in Showtime's Partners. After playing a recurring role as George Clooney's love interest on NBC's medical drama ER, Marg became David Caruso's sex-starved widow on Showtime's Elmore Leonard's Gold Coast, helmed by Weller, and starred as a woman involved with Steven Seagal in the 1997 action film Fire Down Below. She also starred as a talk show host on Murder Live and portrayed the furious sibling to Steven Weber's character on Showtime's miniseries about the elusive Gulf War Syndrome, Thanks of a Grateful Nation. She also starred opposite Ann-Margret in Showtime's Happy Face Murders.
In 2000, Helgenberger made a guest appearance in the Valentine's Day episode of Frasier, in which Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) finally wears down his dad Martin's resistance and gets the older man to accompany him to the opera. Actually, this invitation is but a smokescreen, so that Frasier can "accidentally" run into his newest dream girl Emily (Helgenberger).
Helgenberger co-starred in the role of Catherine Willows, a former show girl employed as a blood spatter analyst on the CBS drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Her performance as the female lead has earned her two Emmy Award and two Golden Globe nominations. In 2005, she and her fellow cast members won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.
When CSI first started filming, Helgenberger visited the Clark County Coroner's Office to learn about role, even viewing autopsies in progress. Helgenberger got the chance to act with her husband, Alan Rosenberg, again when he guest starred on CSI, Season 5 ("Weeping Willows") and Season 7 ("Leaving Las Vegas").
During her stint on the hit show, Helgenberger supported Julia Roberts in the film Erin Brockovich and portrayed Patsy Ramsey in the CBS miniseries about the mysterious murder of 6-year-old beauty pageant contestant JonBenét Ramsey in Perfect Murder, Perfect Town. She also starred as Dennis Quaid's wife and Scarlett Johansson's mother in writer-director Paul Weitz's romantic drama comedy In Good Company (2004) and appeared on Pond's Smooth Perfection Skin Cream 2005 print ad.
In 2005, Universal Studios submitted Helgenberger in the best supporting actress category to the Oscars for her performance as Ann Foreman in the 2004 movie In Good Company. In 2007, she was featured in the movies Conan: Red Nails (as the voice of Princess Tascela) and Mr. Brooks. In Mr. Brooks her character's daughter is played by Danielle Panabaker, the sister of Kay Panabaker, who plays Catherine Willow's daughter on CSI.
In mid 2006, Helgenberger's hometown of North Bend, Nebraska, population 1213, renamed the street on which Helgenberger had her childhood home "Helgenberger Avenue."
In animation, she lent her voice as Greek goddess Hera on DC Universe straight-to-video feature Wonder Woman.[7]
Helgenberger is the unrequited love interest of the bespectacled amphibian Buddy in Mark Heath's Spot the Frog comic strip.
In 2008, she renewed her CSI contract with CBS for two additional years.[8] In July 2010, her contract was renewed for an eleventh season with CSI.[9] Following William Petersen's departure from CSI, Helgenberger became one of the two highest paid actors in any of the CSI shows (Vegas, Miami, NY), earning $375,000 per episode, the same as David Caruso, and $25,000 more per episode than Laurence Fishburne.[10] Helgenberger only appeared in the first twelve episodes of the twelfth season of CSI, as she wants to return to the stage. The producers said they left the door open for Helgenberger if she wants to return. Helgenberger left the show on January 25, during a two-part episode ("Ms. Willows Regrets" and "Willows in the Wind"). The last one was the most watched episode of the season with 14.26 million viewers.[11]
Helgenberger continues to be included in lists of Hollywood's Most Beautiful.
