text: Lala convinces major record labels to be a little less dumb October 20, 2008 8:19 PM Dan Kaplan 0 Successful CMOs achieve growth by leveraging technology. Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston, where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited. Request your personal invitation here! Have you ever been sitting at your computer, wishing you could listen to your music collection without being forced to open a desktop application? If so, Lala is launching just the thing for you. Since the beginning of the summer, Lala has offered a service that lets you stream any song one time, then pay $.10 for the right to stream it as often as you want. The Palo Alto-based company has now convinced the major record labels and over 170,000 indies that it's okay to let you access your music collection from the web. It's releasing an application that scans the songs in your library, matches them to the six million legally licensed songs in its database and gives you permission to access those songs from Lala's site or, with widgets, anywhere on the web. This is fantastic for all those moments you just can't bear to use iTunes. More seriously, Lala does have some very interesting potential. When the day comes that high-speed wireless connectivity is ubiquitous, its service could eliminate the need for music players with physical storage — though it's hard to imagine that Apple won't be right on top of this trend should it emerge. The company says that it will soon be opening up application programming interfaces (APIs) that will let developers build their own apps on its service. Because Lala's licensing deals allow users to stream any song they want, it would be possible to create tools that, say, let music bloggers create playable links to songs. Readers who are also Lala users could then buy the rights to stream the song with one click. This sort of ability, made possible by having a huge database of legally licensed songs in the cloud, gives Lala the potential to distribute its selling power across the entire web to almost every corner of music fandom. Whether consumers will take to the idea of owning songs that aren't downloaded onto some physical medium has yet to be seen. The company raised $20 million in October from Ignition, Bain Capital and Warner Music. VentureBeat's VB Insight team is studying marketing analytics... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

With Paul the eight-armed oracle hogging the limelight, Mrs. Nouveau saw a golden opportunity to get her name into the Society Papers via Dolly the Daschund...
The surprising thing about the World Cup this time was that there were so many non-human participants who hogged the headlines. Paul the Octopus got more column inches and TV coverage than any single player or team, and other animals were soon brought in to join the fun. Apart from Pauline, the Dutch counterblast to Paul, there were the parakeets Mani and Meena, Althea the Eagle, and Freddie the Falcon; and who can forget Harry the Handsome Crocodile?
One of our very own was Aloysius the Elephant who brought disgrace to his saintly name by his atrocious behaviour. When two bunches of bananas exactly equal in weight representing rival teams were placed before him he made a grab for both, and the mahout who tried to restrain him was rudely pushed aside. The latter was deeply hurt. "How could he do this to me," he lamented, "when I've nurtured him for the last 30 years, ever since I was a little boy and he was subsisting on maa ka doodh?"
Sad story
Sadder, much sadder, was the story of poor little Dolly the Dachshund. She, you will understand, was no ordinary dog. Bred in a world-class kennel of prize-winning stock she boasted a pedigree as long as my arm and was named after the great warrior queen of Germanic myth, her full title being Brunnehilde of Brunswick. At six weeks old she had been bought and flown down from Germany by a nouveau riche couple, who displayed her as a trophy at parties. "Don't ask how much I paid for her," Mrs. Nouveau would tell her guests although nobody had asked, "or the tax man will be after me."
Her name proved to be somewhat cumbersome. After all, how could you say, 'Sit Brunehilde', or ' Heel Brunehilde', or, worse still, 'Brunehilde, you naughty dog, you've wet my best carpet' with any degree of authority? So a pet name had to be decided upon, preferably something short and alliterative, and she became Dolly the Dachshund.
With the advent of the World Cup and the prophecies of Paul the eight-armed oracle, Mrs. Nouveau saw a golden opportunity to get her name into the Society Papers and, just before the final, she invited some journos for tea. Two mouth-watering marrow-bones, one marked S and the other N, were placed in front of Dolly who, being loyal to a fault, sniffed around and turned them over with her paws, looking for one marked G for her home country. Not finding it she was about to walk away, but was coaxed into changing her mind, and at last chose N. The Nouveaus were overjoyed, especially when Dolly was prominently featured with the entire family on page 3. Here was a triumph beyond their wildest dreams.
Frantic call
And then came Black Monday. N had lost, and S had walked away with the coveted Cup. Mr. N was at his office attending a crucial meeting when he got a frantic call from his wife. Death threats were pouring in and she was scared, very scared. "I can't do anything now," he said. "I'm about to clinch a deal. Call the Police." Soon there was a second call, even more high-decibel. The police were warning her that an angry mob was making its way to her house shouting, "Dolly, murdabad", and she should run for her life. And on no account, they said, should she take the dog, or the mob would follow her car. "What shall I do, oh what shall I do?" she sobbed. "Do what they tell you," he said without so much as a tremor of regret, and switched off.
Alas, poor Brunnehilde-Dolly, most lovable and devoted of animals, angelic of temper and noble of mien, had you followed your heart and rejected both those treacherous bones you would have been alive today. Nothing, not even your royal name and the length of your pedigree, and least of all your callous, uncaring family, could save you from a tragic fate. It was written in your stars. Tamam Shud.

The Treyvon Martin Case: Alleged Shooter George Zimmerman Charged With 2nd Degree Murder [Video]
The neighborhood watch case that polarized the country has moved in a different direction now. George Zimmerman, the man accused of killing teenager Treyvon Martin was arrested and charged with second degree murder last night.
Read the formal criminal charge document
Martin, 17, was shot February 26, while walking in a Sanford, Florida, gated community. Zimmerman, 28, a neighborhood watch volunteer, allegedly followed Martin for several minutes, because he suspected the boy might be up to something. He said one of the reasons he followed Martin was that the teen was wearing a hoodie (that started a nationwide movement of people wearing hoodies to show support for the slain teen)
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Although the details of exactly what happened that night still aren't clear, Zimmerman's account is that he started following Martin as he walked from a convenience store through the gated community. Zimmerman called police, telling them the boy looked like he, "was up to no good…on drugs or something".
When police arrived, Martin was dead. Zimmerman told them Martin attacked him as he walked back to his truck, breaking his nose and beating him to the ground, which forced him to shoot the boy. Zimmerman's gun was concealed and it was later learned Martin was unarmed.
But Martin's friends say he would not have attacked Zimmerman unless he was provoked first. And there are reports Martin's girlfriend was talking to Treyvon on his cell phone when Zimmerman confronted the teen. Her account is that Martin was distressed that Zimmerman was following him and that Martin did nothing to provoke Zimmerman.
Zimmerman is being held in an Orlando County jail in Florida. His attorney says he will plead not guilty to the charges and he will ask for his client to be released on bond. A hearing is scheduled for this afternoon at 1:30 pm eastern.
The charge of second degree murder carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.
The U.S. Justice Department is has opened a federal civil-rights investigation into the shooting of Treyvon Martin.

EL VEZ - Mex-mas!
- (Set time: 9:00 PM)
El Vez is the Latin sensation that is sweeping the Nation and the world, following successful tours in Australia, Germany, Spain, Norway, Holland, Austria, England, France, Belgium, Canada and more.
A modern multicultural hybrid of Americana and Mexicano, he is more than entertainment, he is a thinking man's Elvis, a post-modern King with a Latin twist, the Chicano experience presented and told through the songs of Elvis.
Imagine Ceasar Chavez fronting a Punk Rock band, Liberace teaching Chicano Studies, Tom Jones singing about the Virgin de Guadalupe, throw in multiple costumes changes, dancing back up singers and a rocking band and you have imagined El Vez!
El Vez is like a Jukebox exploded and put back together again. The Music mixes and remixes last centuries music, matching and contrasting various genre and styles, 5 different tunes may find their way into one Elvis song, becoming an EL VEZ song. The subject matter is Elvis
through a latino looking glass. "In the Ghetto" becomes "En El Barrio", "Suspicious Minds" become "Immigration Time". Elvis' logo's like TCB...become "Taking Care of Business" an
ode to the undocumented workers of America. Mixed in with El Vez originals (i.e.; the zapatistas in chiapas, safe sex) it becomes a musicophiles history dream.
El Vez has appeared on The Tonight Show, Oprah, MTV, HBO, CNN, Live with Regis & Kathy Lee, he has even been a question on Jeopardy & "mucho mas"…As raved about in
Newsweek, People, Rolling Stone, The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, TV Guide, The New Yorker, Los Angeles & London Times and many others.
El Vez brings a social-political-La Vegas-via-Memphis by way of Mexico-Rock and Roll revue featuring his top notch band the Memphis Mariachis and the world famous Lovely
Elvettes (Lisa Maria and Priscillita). El Vez has R-O-C-K'ed across U-S-A and Europe, headlining festivals and opening for such greats as David Bowie, Carlos Santana, Linda
Ronstadt, and the B-52's. His Gold lamé Mariachi Suit has been placed on display at the Smithsonian Institute in a show tiles AMERICAN SABOR. Showing the history of Latinos in American Music, his suit placed among items from his idols Ritchie Valens, Celia Cruz, Carlos Santana, Tito Puente and more!
With over a dozen CDs under his Elvis belt, merchandise that includes T-shirts, videos and locks of hair. El Vez is a cross-cultural caped crusader singing for truth, justice and the Mexican/American way. You'll leave an El Vez concert feeling proud to be Mexican, no matter what nationality you are.
Jumpin' Jupiter
- (Set time: 7:45 PM)
Jumpin' Jupiter, long hailed by many as one of Virginia's premiere rockin' and rollin' rockabilly outfits, landed in the Falls Church area sometime in the summer of '92. Since then, they have played from N.Y.C. to North Carolina, unleashing some of the most powerful and energetic performances ever seen on the East Coast!
This four-piece outfit has pulled up rock + roll by its roots and propelled it far into orbit with fuel to spare! Mike Bolton (Pensacola, FL) on upright bass and Doug Hoekstra (San Antonio, TX) on drums lay down a solid rhythm that'll make any average human get to slammin', swingin', or just fhufflin' around the room. Guitarist Patrick Cavanaugh flies his twangin' Telecaster in and out and all around that crazy beat with the force of a runaway locomotive. Born and raised in the Washington, D.C. area, Patrick has played along-side such local favorites as Billy Hancock, Johnny Seaton and the legendary Danny Gatton. The band is fronted by Jay Jenc (Washington, D.C.) who delivers some of the most sincere yet frantically kinetic vocals ever witnessed.
Whether playing at a backyard bar-b-que or with some national act in a great big fancy club, these stripped-down, psychobilly cowpunks have found a home here on Earth. A home in the hearts of all of those folks out there who haven't forgotten how much fun good ol' American music is, even when you're not paying attention!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
UN approval is needed
In 1860, following a spate of massacres that had resulted in tens of thousands of deaths in what is now Lebanon and Syria, France and other European powers persuaded the Ottoman sultan to agree to international intervention. An expeditionary force led by a French general was sent to Beirut shortly thereafter.
It remained in place for roughly one year, helping to suppress the conflict and reorganize legal practices and administrative boundaries. Jurists and diplomats styled it an intervention in the name of "humanity" -- one in a series of such actions in the Ottoman Empire, the principal site for the development of a "right" to humanitarian intervention in the 19th century.
Over 150 years have passed since. The French and Ottoman empires are no more, and the eastern Mediterranean has been shaken by countless waves of war and revolution. Yet, preparations are underway for another intervention in Syria. Should it materialize, this act will also be undertaken in response to massacres, with 100,000 having already perished and millions struggling to survive as displaced persons, either within Syria or in neighbouring states. And it, too, will be clothed in the language of humanitarianism. But, troops are unlikely to be put on the ground, and governmental authorities in Syria won't provide their consent. Most importantly, the intervention will run counter to international legal norms.
The Obama administration has yet to advance a coherent legal argument in defense of its proposed intervention in Syria. However, U.S. officials and commentators have floated a number of ideas in an effort to find a legal basis for the "punitive" and "deterrent" strike. It has been suggested that the U.S. and its allies would be acting in individual or collective self-defense. A slightly more plausible contention is that intervention is necessary on humanitarian grounds. In this connection, some have argued that Damascus's apparent use of chemical weapons has triggered the so-called "responsibility to protect", according to which the "international community" is entrusted with a duty to protect populations at risk of genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.
The legality of humanitarian intervention -- and of the "responsibility to protect", its putative successor doctrine -- is highly dubious. No multilateral treaty governing humanitarian intervention or the "responsibility to protect" is available. And despite fashionable claims to the contrary, neither finds a home in customary international law, the body of international legal rules that arise from general practices of states recognized to be legally binding.
Indeed, the vast majority of international lawyers agree that without explicit authorization from the UN Security Council, there is no legal basis upon which the U.S. and its allies can mount a humanitarian intervention in Syria. Simply put, a strike on Syria that lacks such authorization will circumvent the UN framework for the use of force. While morally and politically legitimate for some, it will be unlawful.
The Assad regime has proven itself to be reckless and repugnant. The horrors to which the people of Syria have been subjected for the past two years (and for decades before then) demand a concerted and consistent response through the UN. But bombarding Syria without a Security Council mandate to "send a message" is not likely to bring its civil war to an end.
Nor is it likely to escape denunciation as a violation of international law, just as NATO's bombing campaign during the 1998-99 Kosovo War (a closer analogue to Syria today than the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003) was widely and rightly condemned as unlawful. If the U.S. and other states wish to alter existing laws relating to the use of force, diluting traditional conceptions of state sovereignty in the name of humanitarianism, they need a better way of doing so than by adding to the carnage.
Until now, Russia and China, both permanent members of the Security Council, have vetoed any resolution to permit military intervention. Their largely unqualified support for Assad is irresponsible and deeply counter-productive. Still, intervening illegally in a region that has long been at the receiving end of colonialist and imperialist policies runs the risk of deepening and prolonging the humanitarian crisis.
The 1860 expedition was undertaken at a time when humanitarian intervention was widely regarded as lawful -- when (European) international lawyers frequently spoke of a "right" to humanitarian intervention. The 1945 UN Charter went a long way to changing that, rendering humanitarian intervention essentially unlawful. However noble the relevant intentions may (or may not) be, intervention in Syria without Security Council authorization would clearly flout existing international law.

I had to buy this based on the reviews and comparisons to Shalimar (my all time fave). The notes listed looked so promising. I bought blind off FragranceX because the selection of perfumes you can sample in New Zealand is really limited.
I wonder if I got an old bottle because I am not detecting all of the notes listed. I do not get any of the citrus top notes - I just re-sprayed, yes, they are there, ever so faintly, and last about 10 seconds. All I can detect from the first spray is benzoin and opoponax and I am not a fan of resins unless used sparingly, to me, there's too strong of an association with baby products and by extension, dirty nappies! As others have mentioned, there is no smoky, incence note as there is in Shalimar. I don't really see the strong comparison except that they're both a 1920's style oriental.
The middle notes are there, rosewood, vanilla, resins, patchouli. I don't get any florals, which is a shame because I really like ylang ylang. Its very warm and comforting, to my nose that strong resinousness feels sickly and... I hate this term... old lady. The base notes don't last long which is a shame because its quite a pretty sandalwood/vanilla.
I sprayed this perfume on today to give it another go. Its interesting but not complex. I like it, and find it comforting, but I don't think I'd wear it out, it feels old to me, not vintage, old. Just my opinion, and maybe just my chemistry, I'm certain on someone elses skin, if that patch was a bit stonger, resins a bit toned down, it could be gorgeous. I'm desperately curious what this smelt like originally before synthetics.

When I was about 14, one of my older sisters gave me a half bottle of Emeraude. I fell in love with it. My best friends helped me use it up much to soon! I am not much of a perfume user now. After seeing this on your site, I just have to have it! I am very much looking forward to wearing it again and introducing it to my 21 year old granddaughter. She can try it but she is not taking it home with her! My best friends are not getting their hands on it! Can`t wait to smell that wonderful smell again!

My pram/stroller is not listed on your website. Will it still fit into the Stokke® PramPack™?
The Stokke® PramPack™ fits 99% of prams/strollers available in the market. If your stroller is not specifically listed on our website as compatible with the Stokke® PramPack™, chances are still very high that it will fit. However, the surest way to test this is to visit a Stokke® retail partner stocking the PramPack™ and try it out.
Why does the Stokke® Xplory® Sibling Board not fit my Stokke® Xplory® stroller?
This production is not available for sale in Australia as it was not approved by the Australian standards.
Do the optional Stokke® Car Seat Adapters make the Stokke® Xplory® compatible with all car seats on the market?
Stokke® offers two car seats that can be used with Stokke® strollers without the use of adaptors. These are the Stokke® iZi Go™ by BeSafe® andthe Stokke® iZi Sleep™ by BeSafe™. When using these car seats with Stokke® strollers, no adaptor is needed.
For those wishing to use another type of car seat, Stokke® offers Car Seat Adaptors making it possible to use selected models of car seats made by other manufacturers: Peg Perego and Maxi-Cosi with the Stokke® Scoot and the Stokke® Xplory®.
We have provided a convenient chart illustrating which Stokke® Car Seat Adaptor is needed to connect selected car seats from the aforementioned brands with our Stokke® strollers. Due to its unique sibling solution configuration, there are no car seat adaptors for the Stokke® Crusi.
Everything we do is in the best interest of the child and sometimes that does limit flexibility of our products to work with components from other manufacturers.
Are Stokke® Xplory® car seat adapters compatible with all Xplory® chassis?
The Stokke® Xplory® car seat adaptors are compatible with Xplory® strollers with serial numbers 24771 and up. Earlier models cannot be upgraded to fit the car seat adapters.
Our own Stokke® iZi Sleep™ by BeSafe® car seat, which was launched in 2010 and which is especially adapted to be mounted directly on the chassis of the Stokke® Xplory® stroller without the need for adapters, can be used on any Stokke® Xplory® chassis, regardless of the model or year of production. For more information on the Stokke® iZi Sleep™ car seat, please follow the link below:
How can the Stokke® Xplory® Sheepskin Lining and Winter Kit sheepskin accessories best be maintained?
The Stokke® Xplory® sheepskin accessories are natural products. Stokke® has chosen to use natural sheepskin over possible artificial alternatives because of its superior looks, as well as its insulating, breathing, antistatic and even self-cleaning properties. It does, however, require special care to be kept in prime condition.
In principle, it is no problem for the fur to get wet, as it will resume its original shape when dried properly. However, we recommend to always use the stroller's rain cover in case of rain or snow, to protect all of the stroller's upholstery, as well as your baby, from the elements.
Natural sheep's wool does not need to be washed as frequently as regular fabrics, as it naturally contains lanolin (sheep wax), which gives it waterproofing and disinfecting qualities. Washing the fur too often would actually reduce these qualities in the product. It is often sufficient to clean the fur with a damp cloth. Regular brushing (a pet brush with thin metal bristles works best) and shaking will also help to keep it in good shape.
When you do decide to wash it, make sure to follow the instructions on the care label closely. Wash the product separately and never soak the material for an extended period. Only use wool mix detergents which do not contain enzymes or bleach. Any other types of detergent, even those for delicate materials, will change the properties and colour of the material and induce shrinkage. Hand wash in cold water (max 30° C). Spin on gentle cycle to remove excess water. After washing, hand-stretch and shake the fur while drying it on a flat surface at room temperature, away from direct heat and sunlight. Applying a direct source of heat (such as a blow dryer) to the fur will alter its texture and look.
Stokke® cannot accept damage to these products due to improper maintenance as grounds for complaints.
What are the weight and dimensions of the Stokke® PramPack™ Travel Bag?
The measurements of the Stokke® PramPack™, when rolled up for storage, are as follows:
Length: 62 cm
Diameter: 25 cm
Weight: 4.2 kg
The dimensions when a stroller is packed inside the Stokke® Prampack™ will depend on the size of the stroller.

Mortality from asthma and chronic bronchitis associated with changes in sulfur oxides air pollution. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 3963884 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Death certificates issued in Yokkaichi, Japan, during the 21 yr from 1963 until 1983 were surveyed to determine the relationship between changes in air pollution and mortality due to bronchial asthma and chronic bronchitis. The following results were obtained. In response to worsening air pollution, mortality for bronchial asthma and chronic bronchitis began to increase. Mortality due to bronchial asthma decreased immediately in response to improvement of pollution, whereas mortality due to chronic bronchitis decreased to the level in the control area 4 to 5 yr after the concentration of sulfur dioxide (SO2) began to satisfy the ambient air quality standard. In the polluted area, mortality due to bronchial asthma in subjects who were 20 yr of age was higher during the period in which higher concentrations of sulfur oxides were prevalent. |

Neuroeconomics uses knowledge about brain mechanisms to inform economic theory. It opens up the "black box" of the brain, much as organizational economics opened up the theory of the firm. Neuroscientists use many tools-including brain imaging, behavior of patients with brain damage, animal behavior and recording single neuron activity. The key insight for economics is that the brain is composed of multiple systems which interact. Controlled systems ("executive function") interrupt automatic ones. Brain evidence complicates standard assumptions about basic preference, to include homeostasis and other kinds of state-dependence and shows emotional activation in ambiguous choice and strategic interaction.

text: Home > About the CIA > CIA Profiles > CIA Alumni Spotlight On: Jonathan Pidgeon and Megan Mulhern PidgeonBachelor's Degree in Culinary Arts Management and Bachelor's Degree in Baking & Pastry ArtsChef/Owners, Glazed Donuts Class of 2007"When you graduate from the CIA you can pretty much go into the industry and do anything." Share This Virtual TourApplyRequest Information Sweet Smell of Success Megan and Jonathan Pidgeon recently celebrated the two-year anniversary of their successful donut shop, Glazed Donuts, located in Key West, FL. It's the southernmost donut shop in the continental United States. The 800-square-foot space turns out 30-dozen yeast and cake donuts daily, serving both retail and wholesale clients. "Everything is made from scratch including the frostings, glazes, jellies, and even the sprinkles," Megan says. She externed under James Beard award winner Richard Leech at Park Avenue Café and spent two years in the Napa Valley working under James Beard award winner Nicole Plue. Jonathan has spent time on the competition BBQ circuit, as a high volume off-premise caterer, and as executive chef of Blackfin Bistro in Key West, prior to opening Glazed. The two met as undergrads pursing their associate degrees at the CIA's Hyde Park campus. Their love affair continued as they completed the bachelor's program. During her Baking & Pastry Arts Management studies, Megan had the opportunity to work with then Chef-Instructor Francisco Migoya at the Apple Pie Bakery Café. "Working for him was probably the most influential experience I had at school. He was really great about making things properly and explaining the reasoning along the way," she says. "It was through Chef Migoya's blog that I learned about frying laminated dough, which has become an integral part of our business." For Jonathan, a Culinary Arts Management graduate, one of the highlights of his time at the CIA was The Conrad N. Hilton Library. "It's just an incredible resource. I read every book on beer, whiskey, meat, and fish. I think I read more than 500 books," Jonathan says. They both agree the education they received at the CIA laid the foundation for their thriving business. "Nowhere else you can learn so many techniques in such a short time from people who know how to teach," Jonathan says. "At the CIA you learn product identification and how the ingredients behave and interact. It might sound basic but that kind of knowledge is vitally important. All the raised donuts we make are affected by weather and humidity. I learned how to make adjustments to my dough to ensure a consistent final product," says Megan. "Completing the bachelor's degree gives you a really good perspective on the restaurant industry. When you graduate from the CIA you can pretty much go into the industry and do anything." Jonathan concurs. "I can read balance sheets and easily gauge our food cost percentages. I can look at our bank account and orders and tell how we're doing business-wise, he explains. "In terms of owning our business, the bachelor's degree was invaluable. We do everything from accounting to employee training to payroll. We can react to changes in the industry accordingly and, as a result, we're growing our business faster." As members of the college's 48,000+ alumni, Megan and Jonathan can count on an experienced talent pool when hiring for their business. "By hiring a CIA graduate, I know they already have the foundation—an understanding of techniques and the importance of working cleanly and quickly. In the end, a CIA grad will costs me less time and money to train," says Megan. "And the nicest part about hiring a fellow alumnus is you know they care. It's their chosen profession and they come with a diverse and varied background." When asked what advice he would give students thinking about attending the CIA, Jonathan says with a smile, "Realize that you don't know anything. Go into school with an open mind and, by all means, check out the library. It seems like every two years since graduation I've doubled my knowledge. There is just so much to learn and it can only be learned through hours and hours of repetition. In our industry you never stop learning!" Happily, business is flourishing for Megan and Jonathan. In 2013, USA TODAY listed Glazed Donuts as one of the 10 great donut places in the U.S. Popular Floridian chef Norman Van Aken included the shop in his Insider Guide to Key West Restaurants for Food & Wine magazine. In an area of the country that boasts nearly perfect weather year round, Megan and Jonathan are able to choose from a cornucopia of fresh, tropical fruit for their innovative flavor pairing. "I always have dough curing in different stages so we're able to serve fresh donuts all day long. Some of my most popular include the maple bourbon with candied bacon, blood orange bulls-eye glazed, tangerine pastry cream with candied kumquats, and the mango hibiscus," Megan says. Sweet indeed.

Gulls are one of the last frontiers of bird identification, and I have been a certified gull freak for 24 years.
I have long felt that gulls are the most interesting of all birds. True, Peregrine Falcons, Golden Eagles, and Elegant Trogons have their allures, but nothing combines for me the intellectual and aesthetic qualities of birding better than gulls, especially the "large white headed Herring Gull assemblage." Add to that the fact that an amateur like me can get decent photos of them -- without getting seasick -- and you've got an unbeatable combination. Parked at Cape Point in a four wheel drive vehicle with a couple thousand gulls standing around, on a cold cloudy day with the wind howling -- that's as close to paradise as it gets (with the possible exception of programming my computer algebra system, but that's another story).
On these pages you will find many of my photographic efforts of the last six years. Some of these birds are unidentified, and at least one is controversial. I invite all serious gull watchers to send me opinions on those, and I will include the comments in the future. Let me know if I can quote you.
But I've included images that I hope will be of interest to more casual gull watchers as well. Some of the shots of immature birds ought to be educational to almost everyone. For example, look at the images of unusual Herring Gulls that probably are, indeed, Herring Gulls ("Herring Gull" always means L. argentatus smithsonianus here).
This page is under construction and probably always will be. Right now, I've got only about one half the images that I plan to put here eventually. In the future, look for shots of Yellow-legged Gulls from Portugal and France, Lesser Black-backeds from Holland, Mediterranean Gull, and more of the gull slides from the collection of the late Claudia Wilds. I might have space to sponsor some other images. If you have some gull shots that you want to put here let me know.
Most importantly, I could not have produced this without the long term support of my family, especially my wife Susan and daughter Joanna.

well what I was taught, slipping the clutch is the same as friction zone. You disengage clutch a bit, so that just a fraction of motor's power is transferred to the wheel. Friction zone is just that gray zone between fully off and fully on. I personally use it, all the time when riding in heavy traffic at speeds where the bike is about to stall out. For switching between gears at speed I clutch very briefly. When hard on the throttle I up-shift without clutch, and for downshifting its just a quick stab with a quick blip, or smoother release with harder braking without blipping.
When I was just starting to learn slow maneuvers, way before I even knew what Gymkhana is, I got a DVD "Ride like a Pro" which teaches slow maneuvers that are used in Cop's rodeos. They ride pretty much all the time in the friction zone. However their courses are designed for much heavier bikes and slower speeds. With Gymkhana you are trying to haul ass and I personally think that by not touching the clutch, you are able to keep the power to the rear wheel all the time especially for those fast transitions and fast flicks into tight turns.

COLUMBIA — The Class 5, District 9 girls basketball final between Hickman and Rock Bridge was a special environment for basketball fans.
Thirty minutes before the game, there was a buzz in the crowd at the Hickman gym. It was a unique night, with the boys final between Hickman and Rock Bridge tipping after the Rock Bridge girls defeated Hickman, 50-38.
As a playlist of hip-hop and rap music played over the speakers, fans started to file in slowly. Parents, relatives and friends took their seats on bleachers behind the bench.
Students took their seats on the other side of the court and separated into color-coordinated cheering sections. Hickman students wore white and Rock Bridge students wore yellow.
Television crews began to set up to broadcast the game on TV and the internet. Closer to tipoff, teams started to warm up and more fans began to arrive until the bleachers reached capacity.
When the Hickman starting lineup was announced, the fans and students started to clap loudly in rhythm. When each player was named, a Hickman fan blew an air horn that could be heard throughout the gym.
When Rock Bridge's starting lineup was announced, the other half of the gym made noise. The Hickman students turned their back to the court, refusing to recognize their rivals.
The energy increased during the game with every score, steal and hard foul. Fans made sure to let the referees know if they disagreed with a call. Parents and relatives of players loudly pointed out instructions to their loved ones.
The cheering sections would chant, "You can't do that" when an opposing player committed a foul, and "Air ball, air ball, air ball" when a player's shot didn't hit the rim or go through the net.
Early foul trouble affected both teams. Rock Bridge's Sophie Cunningham (15 points), and Hickman's Ellie Johnson (13 points) and Kendahl Adams (10 points) each picked up two fouls in the first quarter.
In the second quarter the Bruins went on an 11-0 run to build a 23-11 lead. Hickman point guard Jade Holly ended the run with a layup. On the next possession, the 5-foot-7 Adams soared in the air to grab a defensive rebound over 6-foot-1 Audrey Holt of Rock Bridge. Adams dribbled up the court, weaving through Bruins defenders and found Hickman forward Cherish Walton for a jump shot.
"When I pick up early fouls, I feel like I have to come in stronger the next time," Adams said.
The Kewpies scored the last seven points of the half to close the deficit to 23-18 at halftime.
The halftime buzzer wasn't an ideal sound for Hickman because it stopped their momentum. The Kewpies made crucial mistakes each time they drew closer to the Bruins.
"We were just behind the eight ball most of the game and when we made a little run, we would turn over the ball or miss a layup," Hickman coach Tonya Mirts said. "To be able to get over a hump against a team like Rock Bridge, you have to do everything right."
Hickman trailed by nine going into the fourth quarter and trailed by seven with 3:04 left in regulation. Emily Miller's leaning shot hit almost every part of the rim, but bounced out instead of going in. It was that kind of night for the Kewpies.
After Miller's miss, Rock Bridge was able to run clock and made six of their final seven free throws to close out the win.
Both sides showed mutual respect for each other after a hard fought battle.
"Rock Bridge is a great, great basketball team and they play well together," Holly said after playing her final high school game. Rock Bridge coach Jill Nagel "has a great team."
Nagel also called Hickman a great team and compared Saturday's game to the regular season meeting on Jan. 23. Nagel recognized the crowd for its impressive showing on a unique night for high school basketball in Columbia.
"Big thanks to Columbia for coming out and supporting girls basketball like this," Nagel said. "Very proud of Columbia for doing that."

I have no previous experience with autopilots.
Im looking at a boat that has a 1999 era Raymarine ST-4000+ autopilot (wheel pilot) installed. The owner removed part of the wheel drive and has it stored in the lazarette.
The broker said the owner felt the wheel was binding/dragging and took it out. It looks like all the wheels `n such are intact and the wheel drive unit could be put back together.
The control head display was blank when I powered up with the rest of the instruments. The broker thinks the owner may have disconnected power to the control head at the same time he disassembled the wheel drive.
Assume the wheel drive unit is put back together and connected again, what is normal when the instrument cluster is powered up? The manual says When switched on, the ST4000 will be in `standby mode. I cant find a switch and the manual doesnt really say anything about what should be displayed on the control head when it is powered up.

The display screen for navigation.
Based on the serving-platter-sized badge in the grille, Mercedes-Benz doesnÆt want there to be any question about whether the two-star 2014 CLA250 compact sedan is a ōtrueö Mercedes.
But it takes more than a three-pointed star to make a luxury car. The new baby Benz comes up short on refinement and finish, despite offering a pretty shape, good fuel economy and responsive handling.
The CLA250 is the smallest and least expensive car Mercedes offers in the U.S. ItÆs about the same length as the Buick Verano, Volkswagen Jetta and Chevrolet Cruze.
Prices for the CLA250 start at $29,900 for a front-drive model with a 208-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The model line then takes a giant step in price and performance to the 355-horsepower all-wheel-drive CLA45 AMG at $47,750.
The CLAÆs competitors include upscale compacts and subcompacts like the Audi A3, Verano, Cadillac ATS, Lexus IS, Mini Cooper Clubman and Volkswagen Jetta GLI. A front-wheel-drive BMW compact is coming soon.
I tested a front-drive CLA250 with Harman/Kardon audio, navigation, blind-spot alert and other options that raised its price to $35,620.

■ Video: Mark Phelan reviews the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250
The CLA250Æs sleek profile and tapered roof give it a sporty look. But what the swoopy design gives in style, it takes away in passenger space. The CLA250Æs rear seat induced cries of ōare we there yet?ö in record time from my average-height niece, 14, and nephew, 12. Adding injury to insult, adults frequently banged their heads entering the rear seat. They could barely sit upright once they got in.
The front seat offers good head and legroom, plus storage for glasses, phones and cups.
The interior suffers from one almost inconceivably bad fit between parts. The space between the doors and the B-pillar Ś the vertical structure between front and rear doors Ś was so wide that the bright red bare metal of the carÆs body was clearly visible. Exposed metal and panel gaps that wide should not occur in well-made cars, regardless of their price.
The gauges are clear. Most of the controls are easy to use, and the voice-recognition system works well, although it requires more steps than some competitorsÆ systems. The interior materials look fine, but many feel a bit cheap, particularly the air vents. The display screen for navigation, phone, audio and other systems is an odd duck. While most screens are carefully integrated into the control panel, it looks like an afterthought, a cheap GPS that somebody attached to the dash.
The CLA250Æs dynamics are more impressive. The steering is sharp and responsive, with a clear on-center feel. The suspension is tuned more for handling than comfort. It keeps the CLA stable in quick maneuvers and doesnÆt squat or dive during hard acceleration and braking.
The engineÆs power trails the Verano turbo, but is in the same neighborhood as the others. The transmission shifts fast and smoothly during acceleration. It sometimes held its gears when decelerating, which led to noticeable vibration from the low-revving engine. The fuel-saving auto-stop is unobtrusive, but the restart is slow. While most systems restart the engine when the driver lifts off the brake, the CLA hesitated. You can disable the auto-stop, but that reduces fuel economy, one of the CLAÆs key selling points.
The carÆs EPA rating of 26 m.p.g. in the city, 38 on the highway and 30 in combined driving is impressive. Only the smaller Mini Cooper Clubman John Works matches it, and several considerably less-powerful models donÆt come close.
Low fuel costs are a slender reed to hang a luxury carÆs hopes of success on, but theyÆre the only clear advantage the 2014 CLA250 offers versus competitors with more power, room and refinement.

Random Draft Question
I have a random draft question.
So, we know that Jake Long has signed with Miami. So, when Miami goes to the podium could they say we select Chis Long? Now they would have drafted Chris Long 1 and their signed player Jake Long is still out there. Since they signed J Long, they would not have to worry about anyone else drafitng him, since he is under contract. Would they then be able to sign Chris Long and have basically 2 first rounders? $ wise they could really lowball C Long by saying here is your contract take it or leave it and they could risk having him sit an entire season. Could this scenario actually occur or if Miami did this, would their contract with J.Long get voided?

Re: Random Draft Question
Their contract with Jake would be void if they didn't draft him, because they wouldn't have rights to negotiate with him.

Re: Random Draft Question
Do you mean would they be able to sign both Jake and Chris Long? If so then, no they are not allowed to do that.
However, I do believe they are still able to select a different player than Jake. I don't know how their contract is worded, but it's definitely dependant on that. For example, I'm assuming that Miami and Jake Long agreed to a deal but that it's still contingent on them selecting him #1, I believe there is still an option of them taking another player thus VOIDING their contract with Jake. I could be wrong so don't take this as fact. I believe when we signed Mario Williams in '06 before the draft, there was still an option we could have selected Reggie Bush on draft day but we wouldn't be able to have both players- the contract would be void and we'd have to work with Bush's agent on a new deal and Williams would be available for #2 and beyond. Again, I THINK this is how it works/worked. But it's highly dependant on how they structured the contract. |

Loma Records
That extends to the opener, "Slow Orbit," which plays off of familial, upbeat melodies with clean precision: we've heard these basic kinds rhythms before, but a new spin has been placed. It's here where we're first introduced to the pairing of keyboardist Sam Yahel, terrific saxophonist Joshua Redman and Brian Blade's drumming. But the album really gets off and running with the sprightly second track, "Switchblade," in which the trio does not so much work together as play a game of jazz tag-team, allowing each players to dance back and forth, riffing almost a seamless blend of virtuosic speed and musical clarity. Moods change and shift gears with each new tune with considerable skill, notably in the soulful "The Spirit Lives On'"; the odd yet haunting, "Hometown," which makes particular use of Blade's drumming prowess; the beautifully sloppy "Two Remember, One Forgets," in which speed and tempo bounces all over the map and yet remain curiously in check.
While the musical style and instrumental approaches are sometimes in view of becoming a tad monotonous for their own good, these guys compliment each other as soloists and, more importantly, as a collective trio, simultaneously playing with passion and purpose. They've made quite a debut, striking a balance between traditional pop jazz and free-form playing that is unquestionably worth attention, and your listening.
Track Listing: 1. Slow Orbit (6:22) 2. Switchblade (5:55) 3. The Spirit Lives On (3:17) 4. One More Once (5:22) 5. Hometown (7:37) 6. Aeolio (4:42) 7. Two Remember, One Forgets (8:40) 8. The Scribe (6:37) 9. Confronting Our Fears (4:50)

Anyone have a good list of phrases for kids to use? (self.LearnJapanese)
submitted 2 years ago by unkz
Going to Japan next year with a five year old who presently speaks no Japanese. We will be visiting with some Japanese people with children. Looking for a list of useful phrases that she might use. As a typical foreigner with some Japanese experience, I don't speak any kid-Japanese. Stuff like
"want to play?"
"let's play hide and seek"
"you're it"
that sort of thing.
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago* (1 child)
In order:
nanika shite asobou! (let's do something!)
onigokko shiyou!
oni yo~!
onamae wa? (What's your name?)
nansai? (How old are you? -- numbers from one to ten would come in handy there)
neeeeeeeee (HEEEEEEY)
yarashite (let me try, slang from yarasete)
yaritai (I want to do it)
itai (ow)
[–]unkz[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
This is good stuff, thx!
[–]bnerdy 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (3 children)
To the others, I would add:
kochi, kochi! (come here, come here!)
yamete! (stop!)
dai jou bu? (are you ok?)
ii no? (are you ready?/ok?)]
You can also teach your five year old "Rock, paper, scissors" because kids use it all the time to end an argument/decide on something. It goes:
"Saisho wa gu, jan ken pon!" After "pon" they do rock, paper, or scissors. Probably one of the most useful things a kid can know when coming to Japan, imo.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
kochi → kocchi
gu → guu
In my experience, you throw rock/scissors/paper at the same time as you say "pon."
[–]bnerdy -1 points0 points1 point 2 years ago (0 children)
I've heard kids saying both "kochi" and "kocchi". I think it may be a personal preference. Same applies to "gu" versus "guu"
And my bad on the wording, I had meant at the same time. Thanks for the edit.
Great, thx!

Vietnamese Law: A Guide to Sources and CommentaryPenelope NicholsonMelbourne Law School Quan Hien NguyenSwinburne University of Technology 2007 Journal of Comparative Law, Vol. 2, No. 1, 2007 U of Melbourne Legal Studies Research Paper No. 328 Abstract: This bibliography aims to assist legal practitioners, students and researchers navigate the diverse sources relevant to the Vietnamese legal system in the 21st century. Its focus is on secondary sources and does not include specific reference to Vietnamese laws. While the secondary sources listed are predominantly in English, consistent with the leadership of this journal, guidance on how to access Vietnamese laws and Vietnamese secondary sources has also been included. This five-part bibliography includes a limited listing of bibliographies; secondary sources on Vietnamese law published in Vietnam; secondary sources in English on Vietnamese law across 18 legal categories; guidance on how to access Vietnamese laws and a listing of Vietnam law-focused internet sites, including those that canvas law reform issues. Each of these categories is preceded by a short analysis of the material included. In particular, the authors suggest readings to enable new researchers to navigate the field quickly. With the exception of the 'history section', the emphasis in each category is on contemporary writing. The sources have been identified during the course of the authors' research and teaching on the Vietnamese legal system at the Asian Law Centre, University of Melbourne, Australia.

It is a nice watch leather cuff, but I have small wrists and I am making many adjustments to try to make it fit - so far it is still too big.
nice and great lookin leather cuff watch.. since i dont have big wrist. it doesnt fit on my wirst well seems i ll have to make some hole to fit.. wish they able to make the length bit smaller so it will fit comfy on my wrist. cant find direct message to the company nemesis to aware of this for men with small wrist..
This watch is poor quality. Bought this for my boyfriend and the strap tore by the buckle on the second day. This idea and style are are great but the strength of the leather is very poor. Would not recommend this product.
I bought this watch for my hubby for X-mas last year. He loves it and gets a lot of compliments, still looks like new after a year! It's a cool, going out look watch!
I had been looking for a cuff watch in my local area and was unable to find one. I thought about overstock.com and BAM! there it was. Just what I was looking for. The quality of the watch and leather cuff band are top notch. The price was more than reasonable. I wanted a watch that was unique and different from the rest. Overstock.com has a vast variety of watches to choose from. I will definitely be shopping with them in the future.

Technically it usually does. Trolls are just out for attention, so responses are attention, and attention is success to them and.... well... Yeah. | |

Little Zardar posted... Elaeus posted...lol@ getting killed by a lv87 rare hozen. Yeah I can understand your pain, especially as I think you still play a rogue. I was laughing at my guild friend. Those lv90-91 rares (especially the pandaren ones) are serious butt holes for melee with that spin kick crap. --- 'I am always surprised at how you, a Czech, have better grammar, spelling, and style than many native born speakers in the U.S.' -Ruvan22 | |
Little Zardar posted... Elaeus posted...lol@ getting killed by a lv87 rare hozen. You have probably overcome your issue, but the easiest way I have found to deal with him is to pull him through the gap in his elites to the water. The water is shallow, so it won't catch you and slow you down. Sidestep the bananarang and keep your Recup up. Keep your stun ready to stop him during Going Ape. As for the Pandaren Monk Rares, run away during spinning crane kick (they even sometimes bug out and don't move at all during it. The trick is to stay right at the edge of it without getting hit and immediately run back in so you don't get Chi Bursted. Make sure to interrupt the heal. Even in decent gear, you should be able to solo them without much issue 'unless' you make a mistake. The melee does hurt, but between bandages and your recup, you should be able to make it out alive. --- /target Face /cast Palm |

Actually it is not theft and it is not the seller's responsibility to ensure that your package arrives if she can prove she shipped it (postal receipt) and you didn't request insurance or tracking of some sort. She can't be responsible for the postal system. Also, buying from a private seller is like buying something at a garage sale; you wouldn't get a refund at that level either. Sorry. If you spend more than you want to lose you should ALWAYS buy the insurance. I would request a copy of the postal receipt. If she can't prove she mailed it then she may be willing to give you a full or partial refund at her discretion. (That is what I do in any case; if I can't prove I mailed it then I am willing to do a refund; otherwise not since there are SO many people who will just say they didn't get something so they will get the item AND their money.)

While browsing at that fabulous place, aka the Dollar Tree, I found circular Christmas themed boxes. They had a large one and a small one for $1. I knew these would be perfect for holding candy for an advent of some sort. My wonderful husband went with me to Lowe's the other day and we bought a large MDF board for $21 and cut it down to about 10 board sizes. (That's 10 different gifts for about $2 a piece, gotta love it!) Now, putting the circular boxes together with the board, bingo, I have the makings of an advent board.
On to the tutorial...
- 1 MDF board of your chosen size (mine was 16 by 25)
- Apple Barrel Paint in Glossy Red
- Foam brush
- 25 circular boxes (I had one leftover since they were bought in pairs)
- White vinyl cut via the Silhouette (title in Civitype FG font, numbers in akaDora font, both found free online)
- Silhouette Cutter
- Transfer Tape
- Scraper (I used my Pampered Chef little brown scraper)
- Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
1. Paint the top and the sides of your MDF board with the red glossy paint. I did two coats. Allow to fully dry.
2. Cut your vinyl. Remove excess vinyl so that your letters and numbers are the only things still on the paper. (Sorry it is hard to see the vinyl on the white backing).
3. Rub the transfer tape on the vinyl letters. I used my Pampered chef brown scrapper (one used for cleaning stoneware). Then peel off the transfer paper (vinyl will be attached). Place the transfer paper on your board, rub using the scrapper and put your letters on the board.
4. Organize your boxes on the board. I did a large box then a small box, alternately. Dumb me only bought four types of boxes, which meant the boxes got repeated. Next time I would by five types so that I don't repeat them as often.
5. Once you have the boxes organized on the board, transfer the numbers onto each box using the transfer paper as you did before.
6. Hot glue each box to your board and allow it to set before adding candy or trinkets in each box. Here is my finished Christmas Advent Board:
I figured out that I made my board for about $20. It isn't the cheapest project, but it is personalized and perfect for what I wanted.
I just realized I name dropped about five companies and I'm not getting reimbursed for any of that. My brother would be very upset with me for all that free advertising!
If you made your own advent for Christmas or another holiday, please share it as I love advents of any kind! Off to eat the goodies for Day 1 since the kids didn't get to! Ha!
