AJ Holmes – 20 Years of Kwaito mix
Pic: Krisanne Johnson
Having shared the decks with AJ Holmes many times, I can safely say he loves his kwaito. This SA style never gets old and it's totally infectious. His new killer of a mix is a great reflection of all those old school kwaito jams that destroy the dancefloor. This is what he had to say..Grab it below.
20 years ago – on the 27th April 1994 – 'Nelson Mandela took office as the first democratically elected president of South Africa. The removal of the political and economic sanctions greatly transformed the South African music industry. In the backdrop of a transforming South Africa, Kwaito took shape in the township Soweto'.
For me this mixtape marks a personal 10 year reflection; since I first heard this mid 90′s / early 00′s Kwaito – South African Hip Hop – music. Which became a big part of the 2004 Summer sound track for me and my friends, after my friend João Orecchia returned from South African the previous year with a plastic bag filled with cassettes.
I was recently having a bit of a spring clear out and come across these cassettes. As much as I was really into them at the time; I somehow wasn't surprised to discover that they sound even better to me now then they did all those years ago!
I think it's time to 're- discover' – or even 'discover' for the first time (you lucky person if that is the case!) – this amazing dance music. 20 years after some of it was made and – to me – this music sounds as relevant as ever.
I would love to go to a club that played this music. So if anyone wanted to invite me to play a set of hissy old Kwaito cassettes from this gold era of South African dance music; I'd be well up for it!
I've creamed off some of my favourite tracks to make this mixtape. Most of which can be bought on the great compilation – Kwaito: South African Hip Hop CD
So here's to a 'better life for all'!
A.J. Homes – 20 Years of Kwaito mix
Mandoza – 50/50
Jimmy B – Make Em Bounce
TKZee – Magesh
Spokes 'H' – Wara Wara
Aba Shante – Come get me
Brenda Fassie – Qula
Arthur – Kaffir
Electro Chaabi Vs Rinse FM
As reported on The Quietus, there was recently a cool musical exchange project between some UK Rinse FM DJs and the point men on Cairo's Electro chaabi scene: Knaka, Sadat, Diesel and Figo. Boiler Room hosted a Cairo show (which might be archived soon?) taking over Kode9, Faze Miyake & Artwork from the UK. Following this, the Egyptian MCs & DJs came to London and unleashed their sound on a guest slot on Rinse. Download it here in all it's glory.
Faze Miyaki feat.Cairo Project (Sadat, Figo, Diesel & Knaka) Live on Rinse FM -Starts 01:24
Peru Maravilloso
Longtime readers here know that I'm a big fan of Peruvian music, especially the tropical psyche of Amazonian chicha. Excellent UK label Tiger's Milk records who I mentioned a while back specialising in Peruvian sounds have recently released a great compilation of rare 60/70s tropical cumbia surf called 'Peru Maravilloso'. A sure fire heater for the winter months.
Buy it here and check out the trailer..
Ajukaja – 'Benga Benga'
Estonia's Ajukaja remixes this great track by Pepe Kalle and D.O. Misiani. So so good.
Out on vinyl only on Porridge Bullet.
Burna Boy 'Yawa Dey'
Heavy dancehall leanings on this great new one from Nigeria's Burna Boy.

Watch the Monitor for continuing coverage on Congo.
In this week's Atlantic, Stewart M. Patrick of the Council on Foreign Relations lists some of these successes and notes that the key ingredient in all these struggles is a galvanized popular will for the respect of human rights. Quoting the findings of a global opinion survey by worldpublicopinion.org, Mr. Patrick notes that citizens even in authoritarian countries are beginning to demand more and more freedom.
Majorities in all nations polled, including those with authoritarian governments, support:
- free elections with universal suffrage to select leaders, and consider that the will of the people should be the basis for the authority of government
- the right to demonstrate peacefully and to express opinions freely, including criticism of the government
- media freedom from government censorship
- equal treatment for people, irrespective of religion, gender, race or ethnicity
- government responsibility to provide citizens with basic food, healthcare and education.
Such unanimity testifies to a universal hunger among all peoples for fundamental rights.
In Foreign Affairs magazine itself, you'll find a pair of essays that debate whether the use of military force in humanitarian interventions is a good thing or not.

My baby boy was born at 2:33 PM on Tuesday June 9th. My wife pushed for 2 hours to have him traditionally but was forced to undergo a C-section because he weighed 9 lbs, 3 0z. I just got home about 4 hours ago after being at the hospital for 4 days. I took a week off from trucking driving school to help my wife while she was still in the hospital. A good nights sleep in our own bed is gonna feel so good tonight. I've been sleeping on the floor for 4 days.

I don't suppose he's got a name????
Congrats! The best blessing on this earth is children. Cherish your gift.


text: I am in the market for a new carry gun and have been researching the two models listed above. My current carry is a CZ 75 compact, but I would like something thinner. Im sure there are more modern handguns that would warrant consideration, but I have always wanted these two. I have handled both, but shot neither, so any first hand experience would greatly help. Remember, this will be a carry piece so reliability will be the major factor along with ease of carry. They both feel great in the hand, even more so than my CZ which I love. I can buy both around the same ballpark used so cost really isn't a concern. Which would be your go to gun?

Indian Land resident Cecil Sexton said in his Feb. 4 letter that Lancaster County did a "lousy job" on some road repair at the corner of U.S. 521 and River Road.
Lancaster County Administrator Steve Willis said the county is not responsible for either road.
Jeff Catoe, Lancaster County Public Works director, said the cut was a "utility cut" and that the S.C. Department of Transportation told the utility provider that the stone placed in the cut was unacceptable.
One of the questions I am often asked when I am in the community is, "Your campus has grown so much over the years, when are you going to become a four-year campus?"
My answer is, "While we remain the largest two-year campus in the USC system, eight four-year degrees are now available right here."
A 9-foot-wide, bright red windmill will greet visitors to the Bradley Arts and Sciences building at University of South Carolina Lancaster this week.
To give it its French name, the "Moulin Rouge" forms the centerpiece of the flamboyant and colorful décor which will be the setting for this year's Art and Soul Gala on Saturday, Feb. 7.
'Lousy job' on road repair
I would like to let it be known that Lancaster County made some kind of repair at the corner of U.S. 521 and River Road.
When the workers were done, they just filled the hole with gravel and did not fill the hole all the way.
There are holes big enough to knock a hubcap off, and there are edges where they cut the road that could bust a tire. They did a very lousy job and I think it should be redone.
President Barack Obama has said this will be a year of action. This scares me more than watching a horror film with the lights turned off.
Simply because when the government takes action the people are usually the ones being acted upon.
If you are one of the 33 million people with their heads buried in a chip bowl or melting cheese on everything in the house including the cat, you may have missed the laundry list of new taxes that just came into effect.
This article is in response to the Brooks Walker's column, "Obama opens himself up for criticisms," in the Jan. 16 edition of The Lancaster News and John P. Lage Jr.'s column, "Noble twisted facts to defend Obama," in the Jan. 18 edition. Both articles were crticizing President Barack Obama.
Shame on both of you for misrepresenting facts.
Here are the facts:
One Wednesday morning I couldn't sleep and I knew my Lancaster News would be in that little orange box at the end of the driveway. So, I slipped on an old coat and took a plunge into the darkened morning.
The moon seemed to be hiding behind some clouds, then I noticed the flashing yellow caution lights of a school bus coming to a stop on the curbside southbound lane of old U.S. 521.
Why the only traffic stopping was directly behind the bus. All other lanes were in race mode. But kids will dart into traffic, they're so young and trusting.
With a new session that began Jan. 13, the opportunities for positive reforms to our system of governance, tax structure and personal freedoms should be plentiful.
And while there are some strong reforms on the table this year, it's the weak refoms – and even some measures that would take us backward – that will likely take center stage if citizens don't keep a watchful eye on their lawmakers.

Zachary Tomaselli sues Bernie Fine
PITTSBURGH -- The attorney for a Maine man who claims former Syracuse assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine molested him on a team trip to Pittsburgh in 2002 said he filed a lawsuit Thursday to rebut comments by Fine's attorneys and a prosecutor that the man isn't credible.
The lawyer, Jeffrey Anderson, said he would have preferred to sue the 65-year-old ex-coach after federal prosecutors in New York finish their investigation.
Two former ballboys have accused Fine of molesting them in the 1980s and Anderson's 23-year-old client, Zachary Tomaselli, contends the same thing happened to him inside a Pittsburgh hotel room on Jan. 21, 2002. Tomaselli, who was 13 at the time, said Fine allegedly arranged the trip for the boy to watch Syracuse play the University of Pittsburgh.
Fine, who was fired, has denied the men's allegations. His attorney, Karl Sleight, did not respond Thursday to e-mails and calls for comment on the lawsuit.
On Wednesday, Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said the ballboys are credible but that the crimes they allege were too old to prosecute.
But he also said Tomaselli's school records and the team's travel records cast doubt on Tomaselli's claims. Fine's attorneys seized on those comments and said the records show "there is proof that Tomaselli fabricated this allegation."
Anderson said at a news conference that he hurriedly filed the lawsuit in county court in Pittsburgh on Thursday because the comments by Fitzpatrick and Fine's attorneys "in effect called Zach a liar."
Tomaselli's five-page lawsuit briefly recounts Fine's alleged sexual molestation of the two ballboys but provides almost no details.
The lawsuit says that Fine met Tomaselli in 2001 and that, "In 2002, Fine sexually abused Zachary, when he was 13 years old." It said Tomaselli was too young to give consent, that Fine's abuse was unwanted and that it has caused "substantial harm" to Tomaselli.
At Thursday's news conference, Anderson said Fine met the boy at an autograph show. He said Tomaselli was molested in Fine's room in a Pittsburgh hotel where the team stayed, as Fine allegedly showed the boy pornography and had him stay overnight. Anderson wouldn't name the hotel, saying Tomaselli was a young, naive boy who may not have taken note of the name, even though the attorney claims to be reasonably certain of the location.
The "alleged discrepancies" between the records Fitzpatrick cited Wednesday and Tomaselli's account may be explained by the fact that Tomaselli didn't travel on the team's flight, but on a bus with some college-aged boosters and helpers, Anderson said. Fine arranged for Tomaselli to ride the bus, Anderson contends, so Tomaselli would be available for Fine to indulge in his "deviant and perverted sexual impulses."
Tomaselli appeared aside his lawyer at the news conference, but didn't answer questions. He read from a handwritten statement that began, "I am taking this action to support the other men that have gone public and to do everything I can to protect other kids from harm by Bernie Fine and powerful men like him."
U.S. Secret Service agents have searched Fine's home in Fayetteville, N.Y., and Fitzpatrick has said that federal authorities are investigating because the New York statute of limitations precludes state charges in the allegations brought by the former ballboys.
Assistant U.S. Attorney John Duncan, in Syracuse, said he couldn't comment whether federal investigators had interviewed Tomaselli.
Tomaselli didn't specify how he was allegedly abused, and Anderson wouldn't say. But both men indicated Tomaselli -- who was raised in a strictly religious family -- didn't realize what occurred until he told a trusted friend in 2008.
"I didn't tell anybody about this or even see it as abuse" until then, Tomaselli said.
Anderson said Tomaselli told the friend that he "had sex" with Fine and described the acts, prompting the friend to respond "Zach, that's not having sex. That's sexual abuse."
Tomaselli initially believed his behavior was sinful and his fault, Anderson said. He didn't go public until after Fine and Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim spoke out last month against the two former ballboys, Anderson said.
The attorney said he provided few details in the lawsuit because he's still investigating Tomaselli's claims, including whether Syracuse officials and the school itself are liable.
Anderson has already sued on behalf of one alleged victim of former Penn State football assistant Jerry Sandusky, who faces criminal charges that he abused 10 boys, prompting a major scandal that resulted in head coach Joe Paterno's firing.
"If Syracuse failed these children as we believe Penn State did ... they will be added" to Tomaselli's lawsuit, said Anderson.
Fitzpatrick did not immediately return requests for comment on the lawsuit or the records he cited.
Tomaselli's father, who has previously said he believes his son is lying about the Fine allegations, did not immediately return a call for comment.
Also Thursday, a victims' advocate said New York state must lengthen the statute of limitations to bring charges of child sex abuse in light of the case.
Victims of childhood sexual abuse are "denied basic legal rights," said the Rev. Robert Hoatson of the advocacy group Road to Recovery. "If there ever was a case that screamed 'injustice,' it is this one, since it glaringly displays the further damage that antiquated laws can inflict on victims," Hoatson said in a statement.
Tomaselli faces criminal charges in Maine that he molested an underage boy. He has told The Associated Press that he plans to plead guilty.
He said the lawsuit and speaking out against Fine are part of his efforts to take responsibility for that behavior.
"I need to get better and am getting help," Tomaselli said. "I know there are so many kids out there hurting and want them to know that I am now reclaiming myself and taking responsibility for the harm I have done and feel a responsibility to speak up and speak truthfully out so that others are helped and other kids are protected better."

The 1980s exploration of amorality, excess and greed will be televised in a two-part drama following the story of British commercials director John Self, played by Nick Frost, who is thrust into the world of New York movie deals, shark-like agents and impossibly petulant actors.

Work detailsNineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult (2007)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Very intense book. I enjoyed the building of the characters from different angles. Each main character got a chance to give their view of the unfolding of the story. Although it doesn't have a happy ending, it is a worthwhile read and gives one pause about how society conditions and changes people. I finished this book on a beach and bawled my eyes out, not caring who watched. I was angry and heartbroken, and knew it was exactly as it was supposed to be. The newest superior court judge, Alex Cormier, is assigned to preside over the case of the alleged Sterling High School shooter. Lawyer Jordan McAfee represents Peter - the boy who, on the day of the shooting, was found in the corner of the gymnasium holding a gun to his head with a shaky hand. Detective Patrick Ducharme has one star witness, but her story keeps changing. And there's one thing that could prove a problem for them all: that star witness is Judge Alex Cormier's daughter. Deeply disturbing and amazingly addictive. no reviews | add a review

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0743496736, Paperback)Best known for tackling controversial issues through richly told fictional accounts, Jodi Picoult's 14th novel, Nineteen Minutes, deals with the truth and consequences of a smalltown high-school shooting. Set in Sterling, New Hampshire, Picoult offers reads a glimpse of what would cause a 17-year-old to wake up one day, load his backpack with four guns, and kill nine students and one teacher in the span of nineteen minutes. As with any Picoult novel, the answers are never black and white, and it is her exceptional ability to blur the lines between right and wrong that make this author such a captivating storyteller.On Peter Houghton's first day of kindergarten, he watched helplessly as an older boy ripped his lunch box out of his hands and threw it out the window. From that day on, his life was a series of humiliations, from having his pants pulled down in the cafeteria, to being called a freak at every turn. But can endless bullying justify murder? As Picoult attempts to answer this question, she shows us all sides of the equation, from the ruthless jock who loses his ability to speak after being shot in the head, to the mother who both blames and pities herself for producing what most would call a monster. Surrounding Peter's story is that of Josie Cormier, a former friend whose acceptance into the popular crowd hangs on a string that makes it impossible for her to reconcile her beliefs with her actions. At times, Nineteen Minutes can seem tediously stereotypical-- jocks versus nerds, parent versus child, teacher versus student. Part of Picoult's gift is showing us the subtleties of these common dynamics, and the startling effects they often have on the moral landscape. As Peter's mother says at the end of this spellbinding novel, "Everyone would remember Peter for nineteen minutes of his life, but what about the other nine million?" --Gisele Toueg (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:02:31 -0400) The daughter of a judge in a New Hampshire school shooting case witnessed the events, but cannot remember the last several minutes of the attack.

India on Tuesday rubbished Pakistan's allegations that it was fomenting trouble in the neighbouring country, saying it has nothing to do with their internal developments which are of "their own making."
"We have absolutely nothing to do with whatever is happening in Balochistan or whatever is happening within Pakistan. I think it is their own making," External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna said.
The minister was of the view that there is "total confusion" in Pakistan and that he did not think that there is any effective government functioning there.
Mr. Krishna's comments come against the backdrop of Pakistan's claims that its security forces had seized Indian-made arms and equipment from the Taliban stronghold of South Waziristan, where the Army has launched a major operation to flush out the militants.
Pakistan Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira and chief military spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas on Monday said that troops had recovered "Indian arms, ammunition, literature and medical equipment" from Sherwangi, a key militant base that was captured a few days ago.
Interior Minister Rehman Malik had recently alleged that India was supplying arms to Taliban militants.

A MAPLETON woman who believes marijuana has been provided to mankind by God told a Maroochydore magistrate yesterday that her drug charges were illegal, unconstitutional and in conflict with the words of the Holy Bible.
Pieta Michelle Morgan, 37, defied Magistrate Bernadette Callaghan by refusing to stand up as she was spoken to, declaring to the court that she was not subject to the widely accepted legal system.
Ms Morgan was appearing on charges of drug possession and production, as well as possession of a used utensil or pipe.
"These charges are illegal. I will fight it all the way," she told Ms Callaghan.
"I have a constitutional right to have marijuana because it is a plant according to Genesis 1: 29."
The Bible verse which Ms Morgan referred to deals with the provision by God of all seed-bearing plants for food for mankind.
An emotional and outspoken Ms Morgan then went on to express her opposition to the Westminster system upon which Australia's governance is built.
"You understand, I am not under your system," she said.
"The Westminster system is not legal and I will not put myself under your system in any way."
Ms Callaghan remained calm throughout in what had already been an extremely hectic morning in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court.
Ms Callaghan said that while she respected Ms Morgan's beliefs, she was not about to stray from the requirements of the legal system.
She adjourned the matter to August 24.
"If you don't turn up, a warrant will be issued," she told Ms Morgan.
Outside court, Ms Morgan reflected on the legal system and government generally.
"It's entrapping everyone. It's creating problems of poverty, slavery and debt, corruption at the highest level," she said.
She later telephoned The Daily to further clarify her views.
"I'm not under the authority of the court. I am under no one's authority but my own," she said.
"The Westminster system is based on the Bible, yet somehow they've managed to take the Bible out of it altogether when making their laws.
"Police are there to protect and serve; they're not there to tell you what to think, what to do, what to wear. They have no right to target you unless you're hurting another human being.
"I'm not playing their game."
When asked if she would in fact appear at her next hearing date, she confirmed that she would because she had "made a personal promise" to a clerk of the court.
"When I make an agreement I stick to it," Ms Morgan said.

Review based on one coat of regular (not waterproof) mascara, long-wearing eyeliner on top lid only, primer, and eye shadow (day/office-appropriate look).
This product removes eye shadow without too much effort. However, it is not very effective with mascara and eyeliner. It takes 2 or 3 applications and those products are still not gone. This would be a nightmare with heavy eye makeup. I have not tried it with waterproof mascara.
Unlike others, I didn't have any issues with it stinging and it doesn't leave much of an oily residue.
There are much better products on the market at all price points, including the Neutrogena Oil-Free liquid.

I bought this EMU to as an alternative to liquid EMUs. This one has a barely noticeable scent which is clean but not soapy smelling. The lotion"s creaminess is not too light and not too thick. It does a good job of getting almost all of my eye makeup off (I do not use waterproof mascara). It feels soothing and moisturizing, which I like; but I'd prefer that it remove ALL the eye makeup. It's not as good as Bioderma Crealine or the Lancome Eau Fraiche Doucer Micellar Cleansing Water, but it does a decent job. I like the flip top cap and squeezable plastic tube so I can get most of the product out.
This stuff is great! i love the lotiony texture, and a little goes a long way. it can sting the eyes, but i have yet to find one that doesnt.
Very, very similar to the Clinique naturally gentle eye Makeup remover!! You will have to use it twice to remove all the traces of mascara, eyeshadow and concealer, BUT this will keep your eye area hydrated and not irritated...
Takes a little more time to use cause of that but I think it's worth that extra minute.
Recommended! :D
I like this product. Their other oil-free liquid stings my eyes and leaves me feeling greasy.
A little goes a long way. It took minimal effort to get my waterproof mascara (which I slept in overnight) off. My eyes feel somewhat hydrated. The only reasons I gave it four stars instead of 5 is first, because I'm greedy and wish the bottle was bigger for the price. Second, if you use a little too much you'll get that clouded pupil effect for a minute or two.

i HATE this product. Bought it for around 6 dollars? It doesn't remove my makeup and it really burns the skin around my eyes. It made my skin around my eyes so dry. So much for being "hydrating". The product did last awhile though and of course after buying it i used it until it was done. I now use Ponds Cold Cream Cleanser/Makeup remover and it gets the job done without burning my eyes. Plus it's cheaper. Will not be buying this one again..
I ADORE this product. I do'nt wear waterproof mascara, but I still use this to remove my regular mascara. I take my shower and come out looking like a raccoon. Then I apply a bit of this underneath each eye and wipe it off with tissue paper. I love this much better than the neutrogena makeup removing wipes. Those irritate my eye area. I only use them for face makeup. Since it is a lotion , it is much more soothing than rubbing a wipe on your eye or using an liquid. Wonderful product especially for sensitive skin.
Really like the cool temperature of this product as it goes on, feels like its soothing and refreshing my tired makeuped dirty eyes. Love the turqoise metallic blue colour of the tube. It's a bit expensive, but now I am liking the lotion removers better than the transparent liquid. To me it feels more nourishing - a nice treat for my icky heavily made up eyes at the end of a long day. I do not wear waterproof mascara, but wear a lot of eyemakeup usually. Like the control of the tube. Will repurchase.
This is a good eye make-up remover for normal eye-makeup that doesn't sting or make your eyes feel raw afterwards. It's quite gentle and lovely except for very waterproof makeup. It doesn't make my eyelashes feel dry after which is nice :)
I know I'm in the minority about this product but I found it to be absolutely terrible. I used this approximately thirty times before I gave up on it and gave it to my mom.
I used this to remove DiorShow waterproof mascara and eyeliner. It removed the eyeliner fine but it never quite removed all the mascara no matter how hard I tried. It also stung like the dickens and left my eyes red and bleary. It honestly didn't matter if I used a little product or a lot, I still got the same results. This is also rather pricey for a drug store brand, but that seems to be the norm with any product made by Neutrogena these days.
On the plus side, this remover is hydrating but I'd rather have a dry eye area that I can moisturize with eye cream afterwards than stinging eyes left with mascara residue.

For anyone that has had a frustrating time using Microsoft Office products on their mobile device, CloudOn has an app for you. It allows users to access, edit and share documents in Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint using back-end storage systems from Box, DropBox and Google Drive. CloudOn is available as a free download in the Apple and Google app stores or from the CloudOn website.
Embrane Heleos
While software-defined networking technology looks to virtualise the networking plane, Embrane's Heleos product virtualises network appliances, such as firewalls, load balancers and network optimisation tools. Heleos allows users to select the new network application from a dropdown menu, which is then deployed in minutes. Using these virtualised software appliances rather than hardware allows the network to be dynamically scaled, while reducing cost and increasing network agility.
By allowing Newvem access to data that Amazon Web Services provides to all customers, the startup in return provides analytics, performance management and optimization analysis and recommendations for its customers. In initial iterations, Newvem says it was able to save customers between 33% and 50% by right-sizing their AWS resources. In this example shown, Newvem alerts customers when they have idle servers sitting on Amazon's cloud.
One of the challenges that comes with using multiple public cloud resources is they have to be separately managed. Not with ScaleXtreme. The company's application allows users to centrally control workloads from more than a dozen cloud providers. The system can alert users when security patches are needed, or can be provisioned to automatically control cloud resources to prevent over-spending.
Social Dynamx
An estimated 70% of tweets to a business about a brand go unanswered, according to Social Dynamx. This company's cloud-based application helps contact center workers filter through all of the social media content relevant to a business and helps prioritise which ones should be responded to first.
Maginatics MagFS
This general-purpose enterprise storage platform creates a distributed object storage system that can be accessed by users through mobile devices. The MagFS interface, shown here, provides controls to monitor the platform and control access to certain information stored in the system.
As companies continue to look for ways to manage unstructured data, Garantia is making the launch of Redis and MemecacheD in-memory databases simpler. Using Garantia's cloud-based system, the software will automatically configure these NoSQL databases to allow for infinite scalability as well as high availability, while providing monitoring tools, as shown here.
Any application that has multiple clients may need a way to manage the passwords, login credentials and authentication of its users. Stormpath offers this as a cloud-based service. Application developers can quickly provision controls that dictate which users are allowed access to which parts of an application, all while the service is constantly updated with the latest security patches and development features.

52-Week Range: $0.91-$1.85 Volume: 517,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 9,486 >>5 Gadget Stocks for the Holidays This stock is soaring today after the company said its third quarter revenues increased by 33% to $12 million, and their net profit jumped a whopping 358% to $573,000. From a technical standpoint, this stock is gapping up big today on monster volume that's extremely higher than its three-month average volume of just 9,486. Market players should now watch for a sustained high-volume move and close above some past overhead resistance at $1.54. If we get that move, it will trigger a big breakout, and it should set the stock up to re-test its next significant overhead resistance level at $1.85.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Astronauts scramble for escape pods as space junk threat gets serious
Some 22,000 chunks of space junk zip around the earth. On Saturday, six International Space Station astronauts scrambled for safety as a piece of a Russian satellite whizzed by.
The six earthlings – three Russians, two Americans, and a Dutchman – aboard the International Space Station were stirred from their slumber Saturday morning to jump into emergency escape pods, once again drawing into focus the growing dangers of hurtling space junk.
The astronauts, orbiting 200 miles above the planet, were told by ground control to scramble into two docked Soyuz spacecrafts in case a piece of a wrecked Russian satellite should smash into the ISS, which could have heavily damaged the platform as both objects were traveling at orbital speeds – 17,500 miles per hour. The emergency was called off after the chunk passed by at an approximate distance of nine miles – which in space terms is a near-miss.
"Everything went by the book and as expected, the small piece of cosmos satellite debris passed the international space station without incident," said a NASA spokesman.
RECOMMENDED: Are you scientifically literate? Take the quiz
Ground controllers did not believe the ISS was in extreme danger, but ordered the emergency maneuver after determining that the trajectories could intersect.
NASA says there are about 22,000 pieces of sizable space junk – primarily bits of old satellites – orbiting the earth and has in the past ordered the ISS crew to adjust the craft's path to avoid collisions. In all, NASA tracks nearly half a million pieces of space junk.
The piece that threatened the ISS Saturday morning came from the 2009 collision of the Iridium communications satellite and the Russian Cosmos 2251.
NASA spotted the latest threat too late for the crew to move the ISS safely out of the way. It was the third time in 12 years that astronauts were ordered to scramble for safety. Last June, a piece of debris came within 1,100 feet of the craft.

The two online travel companies will come together in hopes of fighting Priceline, Expedia's much larger competitor.
Some are leery about the virtual currency's legitimacy and volatility. But for travel booking site Expedia, Bitcoin is just another way to buy stuff.
The power of Google's core search business was on display Tuesday when it demoted the travel site in its search results. Paid links to Expedia may have triggered the penalty.
A Google exec says the realignment will help Google respond more quickly to what's happening in individual countries.
On "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Sir Patrick Stewart impersonates everyone you hate sitting next to on a plane, according to an Expedia study.
A resolution calls on Europe's competition regulators to consider "unbundling" Google's other commercial services from its search business. The vote sends a signal -- but it's only symbolic.

Evening Ladies
Friday tomorrow…..(sigh of relief). After having Monday and Tuesday off from work, I know I shouldn't be wishing for Friday to come already. However, I've been feeling completely wiped out and the relentless battle against pregnancy exhaustion has found me counting down the hours until I can switch my brain off and look forward to a lie in.
I'm currently snuggled beneath a duvet on the sofa, a steaming mug of tea held close to my chest. From the moment I dragged myself out of bed this morning, I've been wishing for this moment, fluffy socks on and magazine at the ready.
Of course, no cuppa would be complete without something to dunk in! I just tried one of the chai "Raweos" that I picked up in NYC. Great texture but blimey are they spicy!!
Anyway…..tonight is definitely a night of comfort. Since I found out that I was pregnant, I've learned that I have to take each day as it comes. Some days are complete write offs, spent sleeping and then sleeping some more. On others, I feel….okay….but I'm still waiting to experience all this wonderful energy that the pregnancy books talk about. Yup….I'm still really tired on most days.
Needless to say, I've been maintaining a good workout regime, mixing things up a bit to include more toning work. Before pregnancy, I'd be able to muster up the energy to work out even on the days when motivation was lacking. These days, the motivation is there - I really want to work out – however, on some days the fatigue takes over and physically stops me from carrying out what I'd love to be able to do……all I can liken it to is getting old!
……..This whole pregnancy is proving to be a great learning process for me. Eating regularly, getting enough sleep, exercising but not over-excerting….all things we strive to do under any circumstances but also things that hang in much finer balance during pregnancy. The most important thing that I'm finally learning for myself is the age old lesson for pregnancy, "Listen to your body". After years of disordered eating and pushing myself to the max in my workouts, I'm finally learning when to go a bit easier on myself, not only that but just how easy to go in order to keep myself balanced and harmonious. Hopefully these lessons will stay with me and lead down a road that is paved with health, long in to the future.
love and hugs
Emm xoxo

The Stat Line of the Night -12/1/09 – Greg Oden
I wouldn't say that people were calling Greg Oden a bust. Not yet at least. But the general consensus about him entering this season was that he wasn't living up to the hype. Well that may no longer be the case. Although the man-child still cannot seem to stay out of foul trouble, he is […]
Jaimee Grubbs Claims Affair with Tiger Woods (Pics)
I bet Tiger feels like it's getting awfully hot in whatever room of the house he's sitting in. Earlier today, a story came out that alleged Tiger Woods' mistress Rachel Uchitel was denying the affair and could back up her claims. While that wasn't exactly "dodging a bullet" since his image was smeared pretty badly […]
Tiger Woods Other Woman Rachel Uchitel Denies Affair
Rachel Uchitel is the woman who is supposedly coming between Tiger Woods and his wife.

There is […]

Incredible Soccer Goal Makes Scoring Look Easy
Not all goals are created equal. This one is a prime example of that. What might be extremely difficult is made to look easy in this video, with one of the players kicking a slow, long, arcing goal that seemed almost effortless. I assure you it wasn't. This isn't the first long goal we have […]
The Stat Line of the Night – 11/30/09 – Drew Brees
The Saints ran their record to 11-0 last night on the back of their star QB Drew Brees. Brees has been having a stellar season and last night was no exception. In fact, according to some measures of a quarterback's value, Drew Brees was perfect last night. He went 18/23 for 371 yards with 5 […]

Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.The Game: Philadelphia 76ers @ Dallas Mavericks
The Pick: Dallas Mavericks
The Reason: Ok so if we told you we like the Sixers tonight you would probably ask us what type of cheap crack we were on.

The Stat Line of the Night -11/29/09 – Chris Johnson

He also added 3 catches for 32 yards. The Titans desperately needed the win yesterday to stay in the AFC […]

The Protest Singer: An Intimate Portrait of Pete Seeger2009 Wednesday, February 25, 2015 When Alec Wilkinson approached Pete Seeger about writing his story Seeger asked him to write something that could be read in one sitting. This book fits the bill. Wilkinson covers the influence of Seeger's parents who were classically trained musicians, his brief time at Harvard University, days and nights with the Almanac Singers where he was introduced to Woody Guthrie, his performances with the Weavers and his affiliation with the Communist Party. There are stories of his early train hopping days where he broke the neck off his ever present banjo and his love of living in the woods with his wife and small children. Seeger was a down to earth activist who was passionate about the Bill of Rights. He truly loved America. He remained strong while giving testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee on August 18, 1955 and ultimately disavowed his support of Communism. In later years, Seeger became an environmentalist after being inspired by a reading of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring. Readers will gain an understanding of who Pete Seeger was and how he became a folk hero in America. |

2005 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
Bought my 2005 Explorer XLT in 2006 with 18K miles on it. My wife drives it for the most part and only has 76K in Jan 2014; it is and has been the PERFECT vehicle. A Utah to Texas trip once a year and normal driving in the city.
Prior to reading some of the horror stories below I slept well at night but I will toss and turn tonight. I bought it expecting similar reliability as I did with my '93 F-150 which gave me 225K miles before I sold it but will now look over my shoulder. I do maintain it religiously though, hopefully that explains my experience I can only hope.

2005 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
I got my explorer as a second vehicle because I was trying to keep my miles low on my 2009 Mazda 6 SI sport fully loaded. At 97K and for my engine to be running as well i t does, I made a good decision. Disadvantage is my transmission doesn't switch as quiclk as my mazda but I deal with it. I wove how I could go outside in the snow and no one else can drive like I can. Overall its a good secondary car and as long as its good to me , ill be good to it.

2005 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
Recently hit 116k miles. I started driving it around 112k. I drive this SUV as hard as I drive my 2001 Jaguar XJ8. I whip it around corners, accelerate hard, weave it through the twists at high speeds and the Explorer takes it all pretty well... but doesn't give me feedback like the Jag does. It doesn't react, and driving is not enjoyable as much as it is scary. I freak out and feel like I'm losing control of it, something I've never experienced in the XJ8. But the Explorer is resilient. The transmission has handled my coasting-in-neutral practice, high speed travels and incessant shifting well. With my driving style, abominable gas mileage is not just occasional, its expected.

2005 Ford Explorer XLT Rwd 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
We bought our Explorer in 2005 new.
It ran great for 36,000 miles.
It now has 68,000 miles.
The best gas mileage we have gotten is 18 hwy/11 city with a constant average of 14.6.
NOT very desirable.
No repairs, just regular maintenance for 3 years.
Shortly after 36,000 miles we had problems with the reverse: going into reverse and going from reverse into drive.
It would take about 3 to 5 seconds for the gears to catch and move the car.
After a new transmission everything else started to go wrong.
Interesting that until we took it to the dealer we had no other problems! The blinkers work intermittently, the rear windows work sometimes or NOT and the leather is cracking sides/edges.

2005 Ford Explorer Limited 4WD 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 5A)
We bought this vehicle to tow a 5,500lb boat and it does it easily and safely.
We had bad reliability previously with a Ford Windstar and were reluctant to buy Ford again. But the Explorer fit into our garage (vs. the competing & huge GM products with 3rd row seating), had more than adequate tow specs, and had a nimble feel due to the independent supension.
6 yrs and 70,000 miles later we couldn't be happier. It has required only minor repairs, oil, brakes, etc.
It rides smooth and quiet at xway speeds and is a powerful tow platform (glad we bought the V8).
Gas econ is 16 - 18 which is acceptable given the fact that this is actually a heavy body-on-frame truck vs. the hybrids which are n

2005 Ford Explorer XLT Rwd 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
We bought our used '05 explorer in late 2006. It is an XLT model with the V6. It does NOT have four wheel drive. So far,it has been an okay form of basic transportation. The interior is boring. Ditto for the exterior. As time has gone on, more things have broken on it,but that's what happens with older cars,so you can't quite say it's a money pit. The fuel economy is below average but not appalling. The worst parts are clearly the ride and the A/C. In Florida,the A/C is the most important feature in any car. Also-the CD player randomly swallowed a disc and won't spit it out. This was an attractive car in '06 but now you would probably be better off setting fire to your money.

2005 Ford Explorer XLT Rwd 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 5A)
Do not buy a 2002-2005 Ford Explorer. Had I read the reviews on the internet under "peeling paint" I would not now own the vehicle with peeling paint along the front hood. It is bubbled and peels off in sections the size of 50 cent pieces. It looks terrible. Mine is not peeling on top or back (YET) but many, many are. The company refuses to do anything about the peeling problem. There are even some articles saying it is about the paint oxidizing and causes it to peel. Still no help from dealerships or company. A five year old car should not be peeling- -no rust the paint is just falling off in chunks. It looks awful! Never will buy another Ford!

2005 Ford Explorer XLT Sport 4WD 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 5A)
We've had the truck since 06 with 20,000 miles we now have 100,000 and have only changed the fluids on it regularly. We had one issue with the heating dial on the dash, but otherwise has been one of the most reliable and solid SUV's we've ever owned including our Toyota and Nissan.
