Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton + More Contribute to Doobie Brothers Country Covers Album
The Doobie Brothers are teaming up with some big artists to get a little country for a new release.
The Doobie Brothers are teaming up with some big artists to get a little country for a new release.
Country's biggest stars have taken the challenge -- the Ice Bucket Challenge! It turns out, dumping a bucket (or many buckets) of freezing cold water on your noggin brings in lots of money for ALS, as millions of dollars have been raised since Blake Shelton and company started taking the plunge.
Rumors have been swirling this week that Carrie Underwood is in talks to headline the 2015 Super Bowl halftime show, and all we can say is, it's about time.
Barbra Streisand is preparing to release her upcoming album 'Partners,' featuring collaborations with Blake Shelton and Elvis Presley.
Blake Shelton was called out to take the Ice Bucket Challenge, and he stepped up, taking fellow 'The Voice' stars Carson Daly and Adam Levine with him.
Thirteen years ago today (Aug. 11, 2001), Blake Shelton scored his first No. 1 hit with his debut single, 'Austin.'
Who doesn't dream of going to Hollywood– or at least seeing a concert in the Hollywood Hills? Would you love to spend a day in Disneyland?
Blake Shelton stopped by 'The Today Show' Friday morning (Aug. 1) to announce a forthcoming album with all of the details.
It's not hard to see that Miranda Lambert has one very proud husband in country star Blake Shelton. The 'Boys 'Round Here' singer brags on his talented lady regularly, but as of late, it's been for her success with her store, the Pink Pistol.
Blake Shelton and Carrie Underwood are each looking at a prestigious honor outside of their usual realm -- they both have shows that have been nominated for Emmys!

Smaller Citi Field helped opponents more than MetsBy RONALD BLUM
The Associated Press | September 28,2012NEW YORK) Citi Fields smaller dimensions helped opponents more than the New York Mets.
Of the 46 home runs this year that would not have cleared the old wall, 21 were hit by New York, according to figures compiled by the team.
The Mets erected a new blue fence in front of the old green wall at the 4-year-old ballpark, lowering the height needed for a home run to 8 feet from as much as 16 and cutting the distance from home plate by up to 12 feet.
Home runs increased to 155, up from 130 in 2009, 110 the following year and 108 last season, according to STATS LLC.
But opponents benefited the most. Visiting homers went up to 88, a boost from 81 in 2009, 47 the following season and 58 last year. It was the highest total against the Mets since 91 at Shea Stadium in 2001.
On April 20, rookie Kirk Nieuwenhuis became the first left-handed Mets batter to clear Citi Fields left-field fence, which had been nicknamed the Great Wall of Flushing under the original dimensions. Nieuwenhuis did it again June 23 and Jordany Valdespin followed on July 20, according to STATS LLC.
I think its a fair park now, Mets manager Terry Collins said. Its still a pitchers park for me. Its still a big park. Theres a lot of room in that outfield. But I think the changes in the dimensions certainly lifted the confidence of a lot of guys in our lineup.
New York was 36-45 at home with 287 runs, its lowest total since finishing with 235 at Shea in 1994.
Citi Field began Thursday 19th among the 30 big league ballparks in home runs per game at 1.89. Yankee Stadium led at 2.83 and San Franciscos AT&T Park was last at 1.01.
I think that its made the park obviously a little more fair, Wright said. Hopefully we can continue to build on that.
And the new dimension created opportunities for spectacular leaping catches, like the one Pittsburgh right fielder Travis Snider made against Mike Baxter on Thursday.MORE IN Wire SportsALBANY, N.Y.

In search for Eden Garden...
These are the first drawings of the series "The Golden Garden" I am working on. Along the upcoming drawings I will be developing a world relating Arthurian Legends, Alchemy and Christian Iconology.
Books are my main source of inspiration. During the last two years I've become aware that I have been doing my readings in three different lines and that those lines are intimately linked (Arthurian Myths, Neoplatonic-Christian Mysticism, Christian Iconology):
As for Arthurian Myth my readings have been based in books by Chrétien de Troyes (Perceval, The story of the grail / Yvain, the Knight of the Lion / Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart / Erec and Enide), Wolfram von Eschenbach (Parzival), Geoffrey of Monmouth (Historia Regum Britanniae), The Pearl Poet (Sir Gawain and the Green Knight), Anonimus (Perlesvaus), The Didot Perceval, Robert de Boron (Joseph d'Arimathe / Merlin), The Prose Lancelot, Thomas Malory (Le Morte d'Arthur), Roger Sherman Loomis (The Grail, from Celtic Myth to Christian Symbol), Geoffrey Ash (The discovery of King Arthur, Merlin)...
As for Mysticism: Plotinus, Saint Augustine, Meister Eckhart, Angelus Silesius, Saint Teresa of Ávila, San Juan de la Cruz, Hildegard von Bingen, Hugh of Saint Victor, etc. / and christian thought with not a necessarily mystic approach: Bernard of Clairvaux, St. Anselm, Duns Scoto, St. Thomas Aquinas...
As for Chistian Iconology: André Grabar (The Process of Creation in Christian Iconography / The Beginnings of Christian Art / The Origins of Medieval Aesthetics), Erwin Panofsky (Studies in Iconology / Saturn and Melancholy/ Life and Art of Albrecht Dürer), Cesare Ripa (Iconology), Robin Cormack (Byzantine Art / Icons), Solrunn Nes (The Mystical Language of Icons), Hans Belting (Image and Cult / Anthropology of the Image), Juan F. Esteban Lorente (Iconography Treatise).
Most of the books related with medieval arthurian legends I have read have found light thanks to editors-publishers like Victoria Cirlot, Luis Alberto de Cuenca and Jacobo Siruela.

Hellyeahs Makeup Date Is Confirmed! [AUDIO]
Our makeup date for the missed Hellyeah Balloonfest show is LOCKED!!
Our makeup date for the missed Hellyeah Balloonfest show is LOCKED!!
Balloonfest 2012 rocked Wet n Wild!
Hell yeah, Balloonfest was still a blast! Memorial Day weekend rocked with great bands, great food and great fun at Wet-N-Wild Waterworld. It's even more fun when you get to slow it down and take it easy. Who knows, with our slow-motion replay, you might even spot yourself in the crowd!
Balloonfest 2012 kicked off perfectly on Saturday, with Buckcherry headlining the Budweiser concert stage. The band took the stage after Dead Sara, who had the crowd completely energized after closing with their song 'Weatherman.'
There's so much going on during Balloonfest 2012, but we can't forget all the family fun! The rides around the park, the grilling and fun! So many families enjoy the three-day weekend with the kids, grilling all their favorite foods, riding the rides and enjoying the freedoms we have in America.
Balloonfest 2012 launched Saturday morning, with balloons going up from Santa Teresa Country Club. So, of course, I got my slingshot out and took some shots at them. WTF else would I do?
Balloonfest 2012 kicked off early Saturday morning, with balloons launching from Santa Teresa Country Club just after sunrise. I swallowed (teehee, I said swallowed) my fear of heights for you, the KLAQ listeners, to go up in a balloon and tell you all about it. Luckily, I lived to do so!
It seems everyone is on Instagram these days, yes even us. We just can't help but enjoy making the sky an unnatural shade of blue. Know what else looks pretty neat with an Instagram filter? Hot air balloons. And kick-ass bands. And sexy fans. That's right, we're Instagramming from Balloonfest 2012! Check out the photos taken by our staff as they take them right here!
Balloonfest 2012 is officially underway, with balloons launching at Santa Teresa Country Club Saturday morning, and the action moving over to Wet N Wild Waterworld, with bands taking the stage throughout the day. Here's the complete schedule of who's playing when so you don't miss a thing!
Scott Ronson Salutes YOU!!!
Tonight's double-header of local talent features a band that has graced the Balloonfest stage before, and that's a great reason they're back! The Hillside Gamblers bring it and put on a helluva show every time I see them, and I don't expect this year to be any different.
Our countdown to the big party weekend continues, with a visit from more of the great local bands performing at Balloonfest 2012! Tonight's a double-header for you!

January 14, 2015
The January cold has set in, the ice on lakes and rivers thicker by the day. The ice fishing season is here.
For those unfamiliar with ice fishing, for those who think it is crazy to stand in the cold waiting for a fish to bite, its aficionados will tell you the sport has considerable appeal.
Especially on a mild January or February day, with no wind and a temperature of say, 30, and the sun shining, it can be magical on the ice.
"I love to be out there," said Mike Beauchene, a supervising fisheries biologist with the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. "It feels good to be out and getting that dose of vitamin D. It gets you out of the house and gives you the benefits of being outdoors."
Beauchene's agency hosts free ice fishing classes throughout the state during January, with experts explaining what equipment is needed and how to fish through the ice.
The agency also sponsors two ice fishing derbies for families, free, with all equipment and bait provided. The first will be held at Patriots Park in Coventry Jan. 31, the second at Burr Pond State Park in Torrington.
Last year some 700 to 800 people showed up for the derby at Burr Pond on a mild, sunny day.
"People can just show up, get a little tutorial, start fishing and hopefully be successful," Beauchene said. "The big part is they get out and get to enjoy a little of the fresh air Connecticut offers."
My story on ice fishing in Connecticut appears today on CTNOW.com. Here is the link:
Considerable information on fishing regulations and events is available through the DEEP website. On the left rail choose Learn to Fish for information on ice fishing classes throughout the state in coming weeks, and information on the two fishing derbies. On the right rail, under Featured Links, choose Angler's Guide for all regulations covering fishing in Connecticut including ice fishing.

Nineteen Stories of Apocalypse and Dystopia
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Some of the stories in this novel are extremely worth reading. Though some stories I could have lived without (the first one, and the random poem) most of them were extraordinary. Absolutely found the second story phenomenal (ew, zombies). Everything from world-wide sickness, to drout, famine, pestilence, warfare, alternate realities. Some stories were so well written, I was completely upset that there wasn't an entire novel written about the world and it's characters.
What made this book least enjoyable to read was reading the point of view of a linguistically challenged character. There were at least 2.
This book of short stories is about what life might be like after a world wide disaster, as well as stories about what the planet earth might be like in a parallel universe (dystopia). There are some stories worth reading. Over all, though, IMO they are not worth the time it takes to read them - hence the low rating.
wow these short stories are quite unique, I recommend this book of short stories for anyone

Pretty flowers, any IDs? Shrubs-n-Bulbs...?

Here is the first round of cacti pictures looking for IDs.
Shrubs, I know you are good at IDing cacti, any ideas?
shrubs_n_bulbs(z8/9 UK)
The last one is probably a Parodia, don't know which one. There are several with orange flowers.
The second one would be an Echinocereus, again don't know which one.
And the first one might be a Lobivia. Haven't got any, don't know much about them, the whole area is full of hybrids.

Relocating kivi
I have approx. 6yrs old kivi growing in the garden.
Could it be dug out & moved to new location?
I do not have name since I grew it from a cutting that was given to me. It grows very well but it is only one in the garden, so no fruit. It flowers well, but I don't know if it is male or female (I tried to id it by the flowers, but I am not sure).
I have anytime between now and end of November to do it; so if it could be moved, what would be best time?
It has been planted in a wood box abot 2.5x2.5feet, about 3feet high sitting right on the ground. kivi flowers
Rina,If you want some male cuttings I can send you some after they go dormant in a few weeks.I have meader and 74-45 males.Just send me a PM with your mailing address.
What method did you use to root your kiwi,was it a fresh green cutting or dormant from fall/spring?I know some of us on here have had quite a go figuring out what works best on dormant cuttings.
Thank you very much, I will take you on this offer...
I think I was just lucky (beginners luck, I guess) with that cutting (read some posts here about trying to root them).
It was a fresh cutting, I had 2. I did it 'primitive' way - just put in jar of water. Both had roots, one died because of my neglect (water evaporated). After I saw roots, I just dipped it in some rooting hormone & stuck in pot of soil, and it grew.
I don't remember exact timing, but I think it was Aug when I got that cutting. Before winter it was potted and overwintered outside.
I am just starting to learn anything about growing fruit trees & shrubs. I just acquired a 5ac property that is totaly bare (except few evergreens around the house).
Not even a flower bed. Used to be a small vegetable farm, but nothing grown on it for at least past 8 years.
(I didn't know what a 'meader' is - hat to google it...)
Any tips & trick about growing any trees&shrubs (edibles!) will be greatly appreciated.

Reality Check: Transgender Athletes In Minn. High Schools
Minnesota joins 32 other states with policies for transgender athletes on high school sports teams. But that doesn't make it any less controversial.

Owatonna Wins Class 5A Title
Aaron Peterson ran for 183 yards and two touchdowns as Owatonna earned its first state title by beating Brainerd 24-0 Saturday in the Class 5A Championship. Quarterback Ian Langeberg had 136 yards passing for the top-ranked Huskies (13-0), who have three previous runner-up finishes, including last year. In the title game for the first time, third-ranked Brainerd (12-1) was led by Conor Gessell's 71 yards rushing. Peterson scored on first-half runs of 3 yards and 1 yard to give the Huskies a 14-0 lead.

Hutchinson Routs Holy Angels, 49-7, In Class 4A
Robbie Grimsley more than made up for an early mistake. The junior ran for three long scores — including a Prep Bowl record 92-yard dash — and Hutchinson crushed the Academy of Holy Angels 49-7 Friday in the Prep Bowl to win its second straight Class 4A Championship and 26th straight game. Grimsley, who finished with 261 yards on six carries before rolling his ankle, scored on runs of 76, 57 and 92 yards in the first quarter to put the Tigers (13-0) well on their way to a fifth school title. Tory Adams added three rushing touchdowns and a punt return for a score. "It's exciting," said Grimsley, who fumbled away the opening kickoff. "You never want to fumble the football, especially to start the game like that in the state championship. I was lucky the coaches were willing to give me the ball again and trust me."

Hello Mario,
i'm have a wish: Can you make on application for the mobile phones a button and function to activate a cold start on the devices? This function is nice to have in the case i'm have forgotten the AGPS data to to update. =:) (Or you make possible a function to directly delete the AGPS data)
greetings Joern Weber
Mario De Weerd
Hi Joern
As "usual" you get both for the price of one.
Please try 0.2.96. I do not have an A+ device, so I can only try with my virtual device model where things seem to be ok in the emulator.
While you are at it, you can also try the AGPS upload on the phone. That is still under development in terms of user firendlyness, but it does seem to work for Dirk.
I also added the clear to BT747_2.X.1364 where you can equally test it.
Kind regards
Joern Weber
Hello Mario,
Thanks! It work fine on the BT-Q1000X device.
greetings Joern Weber

Clean Energy Fuels Likely To Rally Strongly Through Year End
Oct. 12, 2014 • CLNE • 112 Comments
- Closing under $6 on October 10, CLNE has been gradually declining since mid-July when it traded above $11.50 and sharply since mid-September when it first fell below $9.
- CLNE's value has been falling due to its debt and slower than expected growth, but the recent sharp decline in the stock price has been caused primarily by external factors.
- There are a number of important factors suggesting that CLNE's share price is likely to rise sharply in the coming weeks.

Obama: Americans Aren't 'Paying Close Attention' to Debt Ceiling Details
2:14 PM, Jul 11, 2011 • By MICHAEL WARREN
At a solo press conference this morning, the fifteenth of his presidency, Barack Obama was asked why a sizable part of the public does not seem convinced that the debt ceiling ought to be raised. "The public is not paying close attention to the ins and outs of how a Treasury option goes," Obama said. "They shouldn't. They're worrying about their family, they're worrying about their jobs, they're worrying about their neighborhood. They've got a lot of other things on their plate. We're paid to worry about it."
Elizabeth Cromwell
Obama continued: "Now, I will say that some of the professional politicians know better. And for them to say that we shouldn't be raising the debt ceiling is irresponsible. They know better."
An Associated Press poll conducted at the end of June found that 41 percent of Americans oppose raising the debt ceiling, compared with 38 percent who support it. That's slightly lower than a Gallup poll conducted in May, which found that 47 percent were opposed to a debt ceiling increase, with only 19 percent supporting it.
The AP poll discovered that 61 percent believe either the debt ceiling shouldn't be raised at all or should be raised only with "significant spending cuts" attached. But as the president reiterated several times this morning, he believes the government faces "debt and deficits" problem—not a federal spending problem. Nevertheless, Obama said he thinks the American people could be persuaded.

Shriekfest Radio! Denise Gossett interviews Alex Bram!
in Paranormal
"Best Director Award"(2012 LA Film, TV and Webisode Festival) winner, Alex Bram is on a mission to bring suspense, surrealism and quality back to horror.
Gaining support as a new voice, his various projects have been able to attract legendary figures of the genre rallying behind him. For his werewolf epic, "NEW BREED," Special Creature Make-Up Effects legend Steve Johnson ("American Werewolf in London," "Species") has joined to deliver on the concept of applying the latest technology available, in the most tasteful yet terrifying way, to bring to life beasts like we've never seen before.
Eduardo Sanchez (Blair Witch Project Director) will bring Bram's "CLOUDLAND" to life. That project is being spearheaded by Jeffrey Reddick, the creator of "Final Destination." Reddick is both co-screenwriter with Bram and Executive Producer.
Alex Bram's award-winning psychological thriller "Body of Work" honors the tradition of Alfred Hitchcock, while at the same time, using modern technology to bring about a new wave of suspenseful filmmaking. That film brought two "Best Cinematography" awards and one Canadian "People's Choice".
For three years, Bram founded and ran the "Carnival of Darkness Film Festival," which showcased the very best short horror films from around the world. This yearly event was held at Los Angeles Film School and was put on like a twisted carnival experience.
Hit YouTube Webisode "Millennial Parents" creators Jake Green and Natalie Irby
in Parents
MILLENNIAL PARENTS is a creative collaboration between filmmakers Natalie Irby and Jake Greene. The weekly web series is inspired by Jake's life as a defenseless new father.
Jake Greene (Co-Director, Writer) has two boys under three years old. When he's not pounding coffee or trying to keep his kids out of the street, he writes and develops television and web projects. Jake is also a Millennial author and keynote speaker. His first book, "Whoa, My Boss is Naked" was an irreverent career guide for entry-level Millennial employees. Now, as an entry-level Millennial parent, Jake doesn't have time to write silly books so he makes silly videos instead.
Natalie Irby (Co-Director, Director of Photography, Editor) is an award-winning filmmaker and an introverted rock band back-up vocalist. Through her production company, Corner to Corner Productions, Natalie seeks to direct and produce captivating dramatic content such as, "Almost Perfect" (director), an official selection of the Los Angeles Women's International Film Festival, and also inspire progressive dialogue with films such as the documentary, "Will to Change" (executive producer), a collaboration with Blue Magnolia Films, which won the "Most Transformative Film" award at the 2014 Crossroads Film Festival. She enjoys writing screenplays and original scenes for actors as well. She is learning to "lighten up" through her involvement with comedic content, even engaging in laughter from time to time.
Natalie and Jake's previous collaboration, "Hot and Bothered" won the "Best Short Film" award at the 2013 Twin Cities Film Festival and was the only comedy to screen at both the 2013 New York Television Festival and the 2013 Independent Television Festival.

We won't miss the cahnce to ask them about it this Friday.
Truth About Covering Webisode #3
in The Bible
Elder Lawrence, Elder Furlow, and Pastor Jacobs discuss Jesus being the good shepherd and the ultimate cover. But the problem comes in when people place leaders in a place that is higher than God. Then you begin to see in some cases that some leaders cover physically and not spiritually through prayer and godly counsel. We are one church and the building is not the church and the people inside the building can't have a relationship with God for you. Relationship is between man and God, and God doesn't force us to do anything so leaders shouldn't force people to do anything either. We are to love no matter what others faults are.

Fand Music Press is a publisher of high quality sheet music, CDs and books, all focussing on accessible 20th Century and contemporary composers and concentrating mainly on first editions. Please use the tabs at the top of the page to explore the catalogue. Further details, such as information about ordering, can be found on the Contact/Info page.
Regular visitors to this site may like to note the new Friends of Fand feature, now visible on this opening news page. An extension of our News system, we intend to use this new feature to draw attention to items that are tangentially related to Fand or, at least, of interest to Fand and its visitors.
So, please keep an eye on this page regularly for interesting updates, and if you know of anything that we should be aware of for the Friends of Fand section, do please get in touch with us!
Incidentally, just like our other news items, the Friends of Fand entries will be archived permanently in the News Archive, so they'll remain available even when they're too old to appear on the opening page.
We have also strengthened the connection with our new YouTube channel by embedding appropriate YouTube videos on all the relevant pages of the site (example CD page; example music page).
Fand Music Press is rounding off 2014 by publishing a suitably seasonal string quartet. Although Peter Thompson's recent String Quartet no 6 has no overall title, it does feature a conspicuously wintery theme, with its four movements bearing the titles Day in November, Children's Games, December Sunlight and Chase. An energetic and engaging work, the movements alternate between impressionistic sound-pictures of winter months and more acrobatic representations of youthful exuberance.
Fand Music Press now has its own YouTube channel!
We intend to use this to promote particular music published by Fand, and hopefully also future events. The channel is being launched with three commercial recordings of music by Peter Thompson: the Marc Chagall Suite, the Bolinge Hill from Sketches & Fancies and Sonatina for Cello and Piano. Here are the YouTube playlists:
Each piece of music is accompanied by an attractive and appropriate video based on a still image. Please note also that the videos are all available in HD quality; just choose the quality setting you require from the pop-up menu at the bottom-right corner of the YouTube video.
In conjunction with this, Fand has also set up its own page on Google+, which links back both to this main site and to the Fand YouTube channel. Find our page here:
Two new buttons have been added to the Fand menu system – at the
bottom-left top-right of the site – which, when clicked, will take the visitor to Fand's YouTube channel and Google+ page.
Also, since Fand has now started to connect with social media, a new tool has been added: a column of icons at the right of each page allows the visitor to share a page or product with their favourite social media service.
Cara Thompson, niece of Fand composer Peter Thompson, is currently a music student, and sang Bax's I heard a piper piping as part of a final-year recital in October last year. Although Fand does not publish this particular song, our Bax ties are sufficiently strong that we thought that our regular visitors might enjoy the opportunity to experience the performance. View it below or on our YouTube channel (direct link). Please note that the words are presented as optional subtitles over the video; just turn on the Subtitles/CC (Closed Captioning) feature to see them.
Last year, Fand published Humanities, a book of poetry by Julian Farmer. Here, we are pleased to be able to present a short video of Julian reading one of his poems, The Cyclists, from a copy of the published book. Take a look at the video below or on our YouTube channel (direct link). For those who appreciate such things, the text of the poem is presented as optional subtitles over the video; just turn on the Subtitles/CC (Closed Captioning) feature to see it.

Beat Deviation for Tempo Estimation Algorithms
The series of beats in an arbitrary piece of music typically do not have a precisely consistent interval of time between them. A study was carried out to analyze beat deviation. Five musicians tapped beat sequences for 50 recordings taken from 16 different categories of music. A power curve was proposed to represent the beat deviation. The curve is shown to capture the majority (96.9%) of the beat data entered by the subjects in this study, with a minimum chance of nonbeat events being accepted as valid beats. The proposed power curve equation is compared to others in published research. Measures of BPM deviation used in previous studies are also considered.

Helleborus argutifolius 'Silver Lace'
I live in zone 4, southern MN.
At a local nursery yesterday, I spotted Helleborus argutifolius 'Silver Lace' and I was drawn to it! I had never seen a plant like this before. At $20 a pot (a large pot), I thought I had better do some research on it before purchasing. I would love this in my shade/hosta garden. I can't remember if the tag stated a cold hardiness zone, but in researching it, most sites say it is only hardy down to zone 6. One site stated it was zone 4. Has anyone in zones 4/5 ever tried this beautiful hellebore in their gardens? Any ideas on if I might have a chance of overwintering this plant? Thanks!
Not a chance of surviving inground in your zone, sorry. Argutifolius is quite a bit less cold tolerant than most other popular hellebores and IMO, zone 6 is even a bit of a stretch.
Somewhat tender compared to most species, H. argutifolius will tolerate freezing temperatures, but prolonged periods of cold can harm foliage. Long periods of extreme cold will also affect stems and roots. My plants endure occasional temperatures of 0-10 degrees F (-18 to -12 C) and survive, but frequently the growth remains stunted and flowering significantly reduced.
(from hellebores.org) 0-10F typically corresponds with hardiness zone 7.
While I'd not normally consider hellebores great container plants, argutifolius is better suited to this method than most, so if you want to grow this plant for longer than a single season, I'd seriously consider a suitably sized container that can be brought into a protected location over winter.
Thanks for the info, gardengal. I'll have to check out the tag the next time I'm at the nurery, and ask about it. I don't know why they would sell this in Zone 4, and at $20 a pot, it's a little expensive to risk. It would be tempting to put in a pot though, if I could get it at half that price. It is a eye-catching plant!

Redmond, WA - Sep 16, 2008 - Earlier this month, the Radio Currents reported that new Zune media players would be able to tag songs directly through their built-in FM tuners. Users can then directly download the song when the player enters a Wi-fi hotspot.
Microsoft, the maker of the Zune, has worked a deal with McDonald's to allow the media players to connect through the restaurants' Wi-fi to complete the download. There are 9,800 participating restaurants participating in the agreement.

Prime Minister, Minister for the Civil Service and First Lord of the Treasury
The Rt Hon David Cameron
David Cameron became Prime Minister in May 2010, leading a Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. He was elected the Conservative MP for Witney in West Oxfordshire in 2001.
Download a high-resolution photo of David Cameron
David studied at Eton College before graduating from Oxford University with a first class degree in politics, philosophy and economics.
Political career
Before being elected as an MP, David worked for the Conservative Party Research Department. He then worked as a special adviser in government, first to the Chancellor of the Exchequer and then to the Home Secretary.
In Parliament he held a number of positions on the Opposition Front Bench, including:
- Shadow Deputy Leader of the House of Commons
- Front Bench Spokesman for Local Government Finance,
- Head of Policy Coordination in the run-up to the 2005 General Election
He was also a member of the influential House of Commons Home Affairs Select Committee from 2001 to 2003.
He was appointed Shadow Secretary of State for Education and Skills after the 2005 General Election and, on a mandate to change and modernise the Party, he was elected Leader of the Conservative Party in December 2005.
In 2010 the Conservative Party and Liberal Democrats formed a coalition government. David became Prime Minister, making him the youngest Prime Minister in 198 years.
Career outside politics
David spent 7 years at Carlton Communications where he served on the management board.
Personal life
David is married to Samantha. They have 3 children and live in London and West Oxfordshire. Sadly, their eldest child, Ivan, who suffered from cerebral palsy and severe epilepsy, died in February 2009.

- appoints members of the government
- is the principal government figure in the House of Commons
Minister for the Civil Service
The Minister for the Civil Service is responsible for regulating the Civil Service.

Efficient Design of SIW Filters by Using Equivalent Circuit Models and Calibrated Space-Mapping Optimization
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The development of Substrate-Integrated Waveguide (SIW) technology has opened new perspectives for circuits and systems in the microwave and millimeter-wave frequency range. Based on a synthesized waveguide in a planar dielectric substrate with two rows of metallic vias, SIW structures exhibit a number of advantages, including easy fabrication, compact size, low loss, and easy integration with active devices. Moreover, SIW technology permits to integrate a complete system in a single substrate, according to the System-on-Substrate (SoS) concept: SoS approach could represent the paradigm for mm-wave circuits and systems in the next decade.

New lighter-than-air material may be Holy Grail for batteries
Aerographite is six times lighter than air. But that may be only the beginning.

German scientists have almost accidently created the world's lightest material.
A cubic centimetre of aerographite weighs just two ten-thousandths of a gram, six times lighter than air and 75 times lighter than Styrofoam.
"You can hold it," Dr. Rainer Adelung told the Star. "Although it has almost no gravity."
Adelung and other scientists at the University of Kiel "never planned to make a record," said Adelung. "Then we saw we could reach it."
Aerographite is four times lighter than Ni microlattices, the previous lightest material on earth.
Despite its gossamer quality, the material "is actually quite tough," Adelung said.
Aerographite is a mesh of opaque black carbon tubes that's flexible, waterproof, conducts electricity and springs back to its original shape after being squashed.
So what is it good for? Batteries, said Adelung. His Institute for Material Science and the Hamburg University of Technology Institute of Polymers and Composites are testing the material as part of super lightweight lithium ion batteries.
"Our first experiments with lithium ion batteries show we have been able to send quite high currents through the material," said Adelung.
"This is holy grail that everyone is looking for: a microbattery. This looks very promising."
Cutting the weight of car batteries, for example, would improve their energy efficiency.
Other potential uses: wearable computing, filtration and insulation.
The German scientists also believe they are close to making something even lighter than aerographite, said Adelung. The new materials under construction in the Hamburg institute "are so lightweight you can't really weigh them."
