Why Has PositiveSingles Launched a New Domain PositiveSingles.dating?
The recent launch of PositiveSingles.dating marks the introduction of a new niche of dating websites exclusively for dating, under the brand name of PositiveSingles.com. Positive Singles has been active in the online dating business for over 13 years and is committed to helping people with herpes find their ideal match.
(PRWEB) July 19, 2014
Thousands of people from across the globe owe their successful relationships to this website. PositiveSingles.dating is a brand new domain under Positive Singles that was launched in June. The marketing manager of PositiveSingles.Dating appeared very happy to see the latest development and growth of the PS brand.
Marketing Manager of PositiveSingles.Dating said, "PositiveSingles.com is currently the best website for herpes dating in the world and we are looking to make it even better. In the prospect of improvising our services and making them more professional, we included a dot dating domain to our portfolio."
A recent survey conducted in the United States of America reveals that over 65 million people in the country are infected with a sexually transmitted disease. "Over the period of 13 years, we have realized the unique needs of people with herpes. Those who are diagnosed with herpes require various kinds of support. It may be medical, financial, emotional or even financial", said the Marketing Manager.
An STD expert from the website who looks after the "counseling / dating tips" department says that many people on the website feel lonely. In an interview with us Amily said, "They feel left out. They are skeptical about how other would respond on knowing about their medical condition. Sometimes, it becomes very difficult to convince them that they can have a normal life like just like we do".
Positive Singles is known to have a warm – hearted atmosphere that encourages dating between people with herpes. The site embellishes on the tag line – "You are not alone anymore" and "Herpes is not the end of life". Furthermore, it encourages people to live differently. Besides Herpes, it also caters to people having HPV, HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.
The new website manages to carry forward the legacy of PositiveSingles.com in the form of features and a seamless user interface. The core of PositiveSingles.dating remains the same – extending support to people with herpes and giving them a platform to make friends, companions or potential spouses. Users can also use this website effectively to research about herpes and learn how to cope up with the stigma surrounding it.
The website allows users to create a free profile and endorse it. The new launch from the house of PositiveSingles.com is all set to take the dating industry by storm. With a decent number of features available at a competitive price bracket, people with herpes will certainly appreciate it.

However, the 71-year-old Scot will stay on at Old Trafford as the director and ambassador of the English Premier League club.
New Delhi: Manchester United on Wednesday confirmed Sir Alex Ferguson will leave the club at the end of this season after spending 26 years at Old Trafford. Ferguson will now be the director and ambassador at the club after leaving the coaching job.
According to British media reports, Everton manager David Moyes is the red-hot favourite to replace Ferguson after the English team failed to woo former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola a couple of months ago.
"The most successful manager in English football history will bow out after the West Bromwich Albion game on 19 May and join the football club board," an official United statement read.
71-year-old Ferguson will be retiring after 1500 games in charge at United. He won 13 EPL and 2 European titles with United. The Scot also won 49 trophies as a manager, making him the most successful British football manager in history.
Ferguson joined Manchester United in 1986 after leaving Aberdeen. He managed 3 other clubs and the Scotland national team in his 40-year career.

Entity-Level vs. Activity-Level Controls--We have to know the difference!
Entity-Level (Key) Controls:
Key controls for small entities are those elements of the five components of internal control that have a pervasive affect upon the accomplishment of management's control objectives. These controls may be informal and ordinarily carried out by one or a few persons such as an owner/manager. The design and operation of these key controls can prevent material misstatements due to error or fraud from occurring and going undetected. Successful operation of key controls, subjected to auditors' tests of controls, may reduce control risk to a moderate or even low level. An assessed lower level of control risk can result in reductions of more expensive tests of balances evidence, even on small audits!
Components of key controls for both large and small entities are:
• Management's integrity and ethical values
• Management's commitment to doing things right.
• Management's ways of doing things.
• The involvement of persons charged with governance.
• The delegation of authority and responsibility.
• Personnel policies and procedures.
Activity-Level Controls:
The COSO Report states that control activities are the policies and procedures established to help ensure that management directives are carried out. The key controls described above are primary to accomplishing this objective. Absent the design of key controls, or when key controls are designed but not operating, activity-level controls may be necessary to prevent misstatements from occurring and going undetected.
These controls may be applied through features in an accounting software system, by personnel while performing accounting procedures or by the design of documents or data. Knowledge of these controls should be part of the auditor's risk assessment procedures (although in small entities there often aren't many actitivity-level controls). The degree to which these controls may be regarded as substantive evidence by an auditor depends on the extent to which tests of controls may be performed.
As part of my Small Audit Handbook which will be published in 2010, I've developed a Small Audit Internal Control Questionnaire which distinguishes between key and activity-level controls by financial statement classification. A beta copy of this SAICQ is available as a gift to my readers by signing up for the free email news on our website, www.cpafirmsupport.com, before the end of 2009.

Rajahmundry: Candidates contesting from different political parties started campaigning after Congress and Telugu Desam Party have finalised lists and distributed B.Forms. On Saturday, TDP came out with final list of 22 candidates, leaving one ward to its ally, CPI (M), and promised another co-option member for it. Announcing this at a press conference, Jyothula Nehru, district president of the TDP, said they had made one change in first list of 27 candidates, that is, 34th division where his party candidate shifted loyalty and joined Congress.
He said in place of her P. Sumitra would contest as candidate from TDP. He said the delay in announcing second list was not due to differences in party.
United face
Except in three divisions, the TDP has put up 46 new faces in this election. Congress groups came on a common platform on Friday and announced final list and also distributed B.Forms. Danam Nagender, district in-charge from PCC, made patch-up between groups of Amalapuram MP G.V. Harsha Kumar group and Minister Jakkampudi Rammohana Rao and saw to it that Mr. Harsha Kumar made an announcement that he would work under the leadership of the Minister. Finally, Mr. Harsha Kumar, PCC member Dokala Murali and Congress city president Ramineedu Murali ensured that their group got ticket. MLA Rowthu Suryaprakasha Rao got grip in selection of candidates.
The TDP is facing jolts from its own party leaders. The unity between senior leaders can be seen only during press conferences or city level meetings.

01.09.06 - You would think that as a former world champion, the man would have a bit more class, said Brendan Ingle yesterday. The Wincobank legend recently voted by Ring Magazine as one of the top ten trainers in the world was responding to comments made about his charge Junior Witter by Roger Mayweather in the latest edition of Boxing Monthly..
Since hanging up his own gloves in 1999, the outspoken Mayweather has taken to showing other guys the ropes, most notably his nephew and pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather Junior.
Recently, he has also been a part of the team preparing DeMarcus Chop Chop Corley for his super lightweight contest against Witter on the Hennessy Sports World Honours event at the historic Alexandra Palace on September 15th.
The vacant WBC championship will be on the line. It will be the first time that the famous green belt has been contested in London for over six years.
Mayweather feels that former WBO king Corley - who has held his own with Floyd Mayweather, Zab Judah and Miguel Cotto - can do nothing but win.
Typically, it is not a belief that he has kept to himself.
Mayweather has been quoted as criticising in disrespectful terms both Witters achievements and style, in particular his footwork. He has also stated that the only way his man cant return to America as a world champion is if he is robbed in England.
Understandably, Ingle is irked. He also believes Mayweathers judgement to be way of the mark.
Mayweather should have a bit more about him, Ingle said. This is gutter talk. I think he could be a decent trainer and Corley is a decent fighter, but hes talking like a gutter snipe.
We all know why he is doing it. Hes trying to wind everyone up, cause a bit of a stir and make a bit more of a name for himself, but he is also showing how ignorant he is with some of his comments.
You would think that with him having some success and being supposedly knowledgeable that he would have been able to come up with a better assessment and be a bit more respectful.
He needs to sit down and educate himself. He needs to start bringing fighters through from scratch. He just operates with one or two fighters at a time; we are training 15-20 kids from all kinds of backgrounds and at all kinds of levels from day one.
Our style that he criticises is proven. It is based on footwork and movement. For him to criticise Juniors footwork is a joke. To be able to move like he does as an orthodox, southpaw or switch-hitting fighter is very difficult. Its a nightmare to fight.
He can try to boost his mans confidence and undermine Juniors all he likes, but that will mean nothing come the time of the fight. Hell get a shock.
If this was a tactic by Mayweather to ruffle Witters feathers, it has clearly not worked. If anything, it has bolstered the former British, Commonwealth and European champions resolve.
If what he thinks are my weaknesses are Corleys strengths then hes got problems, said the 32-year-old Witter, 33(19 KOs)-1-2, from Bradford.
Why isnt Mayweather talking about what Corleys bringing to the table, why is he trying to make up negatives about me?
How can he say I havent earned this shot? After I fought Judah on a weeks notice I knocked out 15 people straight. I have won three titles and beat Lovemore NDou with a broken hand. No-one had put NDou down before. I did it twice.
Hes deluding himself. Hes trying to see things that are not there and hes setting Corley up for a big fall. That excuse about being robbed in England wont wash after I have performed how I intend to.
World Honours by Hennessy Sports takes place at the Alexandra Palace on Friday September 15th. Doors 6pm, Boxing Starts 6.30pm. Sky Sports televise live from 10pm.
The undercard will include an additional title fight full details to be announced shortly and Hennessy Sports team members Darren Barker (middleweight), John ODonnell (welterweight), John Murray (super featherweight), Andrew Kooner (bantamweight), Billy Corcoran (featherweight) and Daniel Cadman (middleweight). Popular Wembley super middleweight Kreshnick Qato also appears.

Shortly after presenting the Wipro's financial results for 2012-13, Executive Director and CEO (IT Business) T. K. Kurien spoke to The Hindu. Excerpts from the interview:
The last year has been generally considered difficult for the IT services industry. How has it been for Wipro in comparison to your competitors?
We had identified four key focus areas — banking and financial services (BFSI), energy and utilities, retail and health care — which we wanted to develop into world-class SBUs. Globally, our energy and utilities vertical is now the third biggest in terms of revenues, just behind IBM and Accenture.
How far behind are you…
About a billion dollar. While our competition is growing at about 4-5 per cent, we have been growing annually at 15-20 per cent in the last three years. Health care is our second biggest focus area. When we started a few years ago, we had only two of the top 10 pharma accounts.
Now, we have all 10 accounts. Now we have scale in this line of business. It has not yet translated into revenues, but we are confident that we will do well over a period. In retail, we have not performed to potential, and in BFSI too, we are underweighted.
In short, during the last year, of the six verticals we have, one vertical (energy and utilities) has performed way ahead of the market, and five have performed as well as the market. That is the summary of last year.
How has Wipro's pricing strategy changed over the last year?
Our pricing has, in fact, gone up last year — by 4.2 per cent onsite and by 2.7 per cent offshore. We have managed to increase prices in a market where everybody else is reducing prices. On the scale side of the business, we will continue to drive efficiency so that our average ticket price goes up. But on the flip side, we have done this by somewhat sacrificing volume. So, we have to get volume back this year.
What is Wipro's approach to achieving non-linear growth?
We believe that hiring in the industry, especially freshers, is on a secular decline when compared to the past. What is happening is that a lot of the lower end work is getting automated. We are going to have a double pyramid. There will be volume at one end and value at the other end. But we are not going to go back on our committed hiring plans.

Watson wins Masters playoff over Oosthuizen
The loudest cheer was for Oosthuizen's albatross.
Hanson was sizing up a difficult chip from right of the first green when Augusta erupted in cheers from down below. No one was sure what it meant until Hanson and Mickelson hit their tee shots on the par-5 second, glanced over at the white leaderboard behind the eighth green and saw that Oosthuizen had gone from 7 under to 10 under ahead of them.
Hanson made two quick bogeys and never caught back up. Mickelson's tournament might have ended on the fourth hole with one swing, one bad bounce off the bleachers, and two straight right-handed shots that led to triple bogey.
"Oh, no," Mickelson said as his tee shot struck the grandstand and caromed into the woods. He could have gone back to the tee and played his third shot. Instead, he tried to chop out of the trees from the right side and barely moved it a yard. He tried the same shot again and slapped it to a muddy patch of grass. From there he went into the bunker, and triple bogey was the best he could do.
Kuchar made a late run, but this back nine - plus two extra holes - ultimately belonged to Watson and Oosthuizen. And when it was over, austere Augusta National had a guy named "Bubba" in a green jacket.

2003 BEST Coolidge Corner Restaurant, Neighborhood
Zaftigs Delicatessen
Who needs the Lower East Side when you have Zaftigs? This nouveau deli bustles with families, couples, and lone regulars who come in for its "new Jewish" cuisine (just like old Jewish, but with a few twists, including a flavorful Oriental noodle salad for those nights when you just don't feel like gefilte fish and corned beef). For that, and for those more traditional moments when you can't fight off that craving for chopped liver, Zaftigs offers a colorful café atmosphere (and café prices) and rye stacked to the ceiling with a choice of two dozen meats.

Smuggling a Beer for My Hospital Patient
May 28, 2015,
The new treatment would be a less invasive way to safeguard a woman's chances of having babies than the current method.
Our perceptions on health matters repeatedly don't line up with reality, making reducing health care spending very difficult.
The gap grows between food folklore and science on cancer.
New research that questions the value of regular screening for breast cancer seems bound to produce public confusion and anger.
A 25-year study involving 90,000 women has found that the breast-cancer screenings did not lower the death rate from the disease and had harms.
The drug Xtandi, already on the market for post-chemotherapy use, could open a new front in its competition with Johnson & Johnson's Zytiga.
Patient costs have risen as doctors have become more entrepreneurial, protecting their turf through lobbying by medical societies and increasing revenues by offering new and more lucrative procedures.
A specialized therapy and a hook-shaped wand could help ease a sometimes baffling disorder.

evidence-based prevention
childhood depression
childhood aggression
behavior management
|In a recent issue of The Counseling Psychologist, Hage et al. (2007) encouraged greater involvement of counseling psychologists in prevention related activities. To support these efforts, the authors described 15 principles of prevention science and provided aspirational guidelines to counseling psychologists. Although the call for counseling psychology participation in prevention activities is not new, the article was unique in connecting counseling psychology to the emerging field of prevention science and in offering suggestions for applying these principles. The present poster is intended to highlight the prevention science principles articulated by Hage et al. (2007) by describing the activities of the Missouri Prevention Center, a program that uses these principles of prevention science within counseling research to enhance children's mental health.

Sequels I'd like to see, Part One: The World Ends With You 2
By Icemael 11 Comments
I thought I'd write some stuff about sequels I'd like to see, and what I'd like to see in them. The first one is...
The World Ends With You 2
Co-op.While co-op would be hard to implement into the story mode, it would be awesome in an extra mode. You could do survival challenges, boss rushes, and battles with time limits. The battle system in TWEWY seems to be perfect for co-op - you always see your partner on the top screen, cooperate by timing your attacks to get light-puck multipliers, and since you share health bar you can't ignore your partner. I'm thinking it would be wireless(and online), both players fight on their bottom screens using pins, and you'd see your partner's battle on the top screen. I dunno about you guys, but I think it would be great fun and add replay value.
A fresh start.The developers didn't leave much room for a direct sequel, and I think the story of Shibuya's Reaper's Game is finished. They should keep the Reaper's Game concept, but a new location and new characters is a must. References and cameo appearance's are cool, but the characters from the first TWEWY shouldn't be significant to the story.
More variation and customization when it comes to music.Yes, the music in TWEWY was appropriate for the setting, and I admit that there was one tune I really liked. Once I had gotten used to the rest of the music it didn't bother me, but still... it needed more variation. Far from everyone likes J-pop and J-rock, so other genres would be appreciated. Heavy metal, blues, orchestral... and it should be customizable. In TWEWY you could buy tracks in in-game stores, but your track of choice only played on the pause menu. Why not let me set music I've bought to play on the field, in battles(maybe even let me set different tracks for bosses, mini-bosses and normal battles)? Buying a track I like and then being able to listen to it whenever I want would be awesome.

FAYETTE � It�s still there: Vesper Hill, an outdoor cathedral atop a knoll at 4-H Camp Palmer.
Nearly 300,000 people have spent time at the camp since the nestled-in-the-woods wonder opened 66 years ago.
Mostly, it�s been decades of good times: touching turtles, telling stories around campfires, swimming, hiking, team building, fishing, rope making, basket weaving, studying wetlands and streams, cooking outdoors, identifying plants, canoeing.
Sure, not every camping adventure is postcard perfect. A nurse�s station is there for a reason: Cuts, scrapes, and bruises can happen when people embrace the outdoors.
Dedicated in July 1947, this isn�t the camp many of us recall with fond, if dimming, memories. The pool? Wasn�t it much larger? The mosquitoes? Weren�t they much smaller? The cabins? Well, those rustic cabins smell pretty much the same.
But look around. Changes abound. New things to see; new things to do.
More updates are planned, said executive director Bill Goodson, who delights in showing off features that draw an increasing number of campers � 4-H clubs, high school bands, students for outdoor education classes, corporate groups � to the 157-acre, year-round facility near Fayette in Fulton County. The camp is privately owned by 4-H members in 11 northwest Ohio counties.
On this recent afternoon, a chorus from cardinals flashing red against a background of green was no match for Eastwood High School marching band members rehearsing must-memorize music.
�Eastwood has been coming for band camp 20-plus years here,� said Goodson, camp director since May 2008, the same year a main office and welcoming area opened.
One recent improvement gets regular use: A paved path curls along popular camp activity areas. It provides youths, including those who use wheelchairs, a smooth route.
�We want to be more inclusive,� Goodson said.
Megan Verhoff, 19, of Ottawa, the camp�s inclusion coordinator, said her 17-year-old sister Jennifer, who has cerebral palsy, gained confidence during camp experiences such as taking part in challenging, hands-on activities.
�What we like to do here is bring groups together. Campers learn so much from each other. They learn patience. They see others overcoming challenges,� Goodson said.
Brian Myers, 38, Eastwood band director, said the camp strikes the right note for several reasons, including that it is a week away from home for the students, a time to focus on music and marching with no distractions such as doctor appointments or ball practice.
�It is a great time for them to bond,� he said, and that, in turn, makes a better, stronger band.
As Rogers High School students arrived for their band camp, musicians scrambled to haul in must-haves: instruments, sleeping bags, pillows, bug spray, and room freshener for stinky shoes.
Freshman Allyssa Zwiefel, 14, unpacked in a snap and perched on the edge of a bunk bed, eager for the perfect pitch week to get rolling. �I have been waiting to come to band camp since I was in the fifth grade,� she said.
Camp facilities include a dining hall and kitchen the Erie Sauder Recreation Hall; the Woodland Lodge that sleeps up to 60 people in dorm-style rooms; camper cabins, sports fields, outdoor classrooms, and a team-building course.
Rob�s Cabin, which opened in 2012, sleeps up to 24 and includes a conference-meeting room. The cabin is named in honor of Rob Sonnenberg, of Wauseon, who was an active 4-H member. Born with a congenital heart defect, he died in 1993 at age 14.
Even with changes, traditions continue, including Vesper Hill, where some campers go twice a day; other groups do not include it in their itineraries.
The camp�s 1950s-era swimming pool is a plunge from the past. A campaign has raised half the $400,000 for a new pool, complete with a water slide, campers� most requested feature. The new pool could make a splash by summer, 2015.
Other popular additions include shooting classes. This year, the camp-improvement fund includes $6,000 for an additional shooting range. Chuck Wurth, full-time program manager at the camp since 1977, said shooting is the fastest growing 4-H activity. Members learn to shoot rifles and shotguns. Archery is growing in popularity as well, he said. Keeping boys interested in 4-H attracts the interest of girls who want to be involved too, Wurth said.
And now � what is that wooden, octagon-shaped pit in a central area of camp? Good guess, but it�s not a goat pen. It�s a popular place where kids � not the goat variety � play a kinder, gentler, faster-paced dodgeball sort of game called gaga ball.
And, yes indeedy, children have been going gaga (there, we said it) over the game, not only here but at camps across the country.
Too, Camp Palmer has set up a competition area for nine-square. Remember the old-fashioned school playground game of four-square? In the updated version, additional squares multiply the challenges and the fun. And at Camp Palmer, it�s hip to be square. It�s hip to be there.

Threat Description
Mimail.T belongs to the Mimail mass-mailing worm family. It was first found on 5th of February, 2004.
Automatic action
Once detected, the F-Secure security product will automatically disinfect the suspect file by either deleting it or renaming it.
Detailed instructions for F-Secure security products are available in the documentation found in the Downloads section of our Home - Global site.
You may also refer to the Knowledge Base on the F-Secure Community site for further assistance.
Technical Details
System Infection
When the worm's file is run, it registers itself as a service process and becomes invisible in Task List on Windows 9x systems.
The the worm copies itself as "kaspersky.exe" file to Windows directory and creates a startup key for this file in System Registry:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "KasperskyAv" = "%windir%\kaspersky.exe"
where %windir% is Windows directory name.
Another copy is placed to the Windows Directory with the name 'ee98af.tmp' which is used later when the worm sends itself in infected emails.
The worm activates the following functions only if it can resolve 'www.google.com' address i.e. when connection to Internet is available.
E-Mail Propagation
When spreading through email this variant of the worm composes e-mail form a list of text strings within its body.
The name of the attachment is composed as follows, the first part of the filename is chosen from:
my priv private prv the best super great cool wild s*x f*ck
Followed by a second word, form the list:
pic img phot photos pctrs images imgs scene plp act action
The extension of the attachment if chosen from the following list:
.pif .scr .exe .jpg.scr .jpg.pif .jpg.exe .gif.exe .gif.pif .gif.scr
To collect victim's e-mail addresses the worm scans all files on a hard drive except those with the following extensions:
bmp jpg gif exe dll avi mpg mp3 vxd ocx psd tif zip rar pdf cab wav com
The collected e-mail addresses are saved into "outlook.cfg" file located in Windows folder.
To send e-mails the worm tries to contact the recipient's SMTP server directly. For this purpose it tries to resolve the current user's DNS server and search for SMTP server info for recipient's domain.

Samsung Smart Bike is wired to ride
June 10, 2014
What do you call a bicycle that doesn't have a motor, but is packed with electronic features? Well, the emerging term seems to be "smart bike." We've already seen one called the Valour, but now there's a new one-off known as the Samsung Smart Bike. Above all else, it's designed to make bicycle commuting safer. Read More
The Walking Bicycle strolls along at 15 mph
By Dave Parrack
June 1, 2014
If you enjoy the simple pleasure of walking but wish it got you from A to B as quickly as cycling then the Walking Bicycle may be your dream machine. The Walking Bicycle combines the two activities into one electric-assisted whole, allowing you to propel yourself forward at speed simply by putting one foot in front of the other. Read More
In 2009 Shimano brought electronic gear-shifting to road bikes, in the form of its Dura-Ace Di2 group. The slightly-less-pricey Ultegra Di2 system followed, although it was still aimed at roadies. Today, however, the company announced the upcoming release of XTR M9050 Di2, which will allow mountain bikers to swap their derailleur cables for electrical wiring. Read More
Whether you're a biker who values the comfort of platform pedals or you favor the efficiency only the clipless variety can offer, there will likely have been times when you wished you had the best of both worlds. FlyPedals are adapters that can turn almost any clipless pedal into a flat surface for regular shoes, meaning there's no need to trod around on those awkward cleats when you're only making a quick trip to the shops.

McLaren, Aston Martin, Lamborghini and Ferrari have all done it ... now Jaguar Land Rover has done it, too. The legendary automaker recently joined forces with a major bicycle manufacturer, to create a super high-end bike. In this case, Jag collaborated with Italy's Pinarello to design the new Dogma F8 road bike, which will be used by the Team Sky racing team for the rest of the 2014 season. Read More
As the recent Charged Up e-bike event showed us, the new generation of electric bikes is apparently here to stay. While many of them simply feature a motor that augments the rider's pedaling power, some really take the whole "electronics" thing and run (or roll) with it. The upcoming Visiobike is just such a machine. With a little help from the user's smartphone, it not only provides a power boost but also lets them navigate, deter thieves, see what's behind them via a video feed, and avoid having to shift gears.

In pictures: Charged Up e-bike show
May 22, 2014
As many readers are no doubt already aware, last Thursday we attended the Charged Up e-bike media event at the Crystal Springs Resort in northern New Jersey. The day was mainly a chance for a select group of journalists to chat with representatives from a number of electric bike companies, and to ride some of their bikes around the resort grounds. While we've already profiled a few of the stand-outs, here's a quick look at some of the other e-bikes that caught our eye. Read More
Seeking to cross the relaxed-back comfort of a recumbent with a higher seating position, German engineer Christoph Lenz has innovated the MaynoothBike, named after his home in Maynooth, Ireland. In place of the usual bottom bracket-mounted crankset, the dual drivetrain is built into the fork. The linear drive not only creates a more relaxed seating position, it offers some claimed efficiency advantages, too. Read More
Five of the best: Red Bull stunts
By Loz Blain
May 21, 2014
You could be forgiven for forgetting that Red Bull sells more than 5 billion cans of soft drink a year. For every logo you see on a can of energy drink, there must be another five plastered on screaming Formula One cars, upside-down motorcycles, stunt planes and skateboards. Red Bull almost single-handedly created the energy drink market we know today, piggybacking on the rise of extreme sports to get its brand out there ... and delivering some truly memorable marketing stunts along the way. Here's our five favorites. Read More
In order for an electric bike to stand out from the pack, it helps if it offers unique features such as light weight or the ability to fold. Of the e-bikes that we saw at last week's Charged Up event, however, one of our faves is a little number that isn't particularly remarkable in any one way. It's the iZip E3 Town:exp, and it simply manages to pack several good things into a small package. Read More

VIDEO: JJC on D'banj & Donjazzy's Saga, Calls D'banj A Bad Seed
Nigezie Caught up with JJC of 419 squad on the saga between him and Dbanj and Don Jazzy. He went off on D'banj on how he taught him everything to be where he is today. He basically went off and said some secrets about him from the past based on the article that surfaced online yesterday. He calls him the Bad seed in the box, that caused everything.
Very Intense interview, i guess D'banj has crossed some path he shouldn't have. Watch the video below.
Full Interview
I started doing JJC and 419 squad which was a squad of people that was speaking and rapping in yoruba.along the way MP took a guy called D banj to my house and d banj
came as normal up and coming artist normally do,baba please your name is big,please help me,yeah and of course ,like the mugu,mumu button activated JJC,i introduced hum

brought don jazzy to my houseand don jazyy at that time was playng for solek as a piano player and Dbanj and don jazzy now was working with me.
the thing that upset me was the article said thatthey were working for four years and didnt get anywhere,you tell me whereelse you could be,i toook all of them to womad which is biggest african world
stage they could be,we were performing in every single show that there was possible,anything that was happening ,JJC and 419 was doing it,we were at the top of the game
and a lot of people can actually testify to that,what are you crying about,i didnt pay you to come and perform,You are nobody,nobody knew you,so would i pay you to come and perform
i was giving you an opportunity,giving you a platform to come and perform,so i dont understand that,
Number 2
The article said something about how i cheated don jazzy,how come don jazzy didnt say that for himself,you tell me what incident i cheated him,i taught him how to
produce,which made him don jazzy that he is today,i use to pay him a thousand pounds everymonth in 2004 which was almost 250k for being a trainee,now i come back to nigeria to come and do awoo
and i see don jazzy ,d banj .Don jazzy was even talking to me, D'banj was carrying himself like some superstar,yes he has made something of himself and salute
to the music that don jazzy made,salute to the lyrics that don jazzy wrote cos i know from mobolowowon to all the way,na me and don jazzy write am,now the rest of the song that

U fall my hand in that.

JJC is a disappointment,you taught D'banj how to sing,who cares?You must crawl before you walk,obviously,D'banj must start from somewhere. The same JJC said why should he pay them,imagine. This isn't an interview,this is an article full of hatred and jealousy. If JJC thinks he is good,he can as well continue bring good music to Nigeria and he will have his market and fans back,period.

i guess in a way i would react the same way (JJC) if someone questioned your character and integrity and called you a cheat, i can see he was obviously hurt by the comments dbanj made
I really don't blame JJC for his tantatrums agaisnt d'banj. D'banj has to be careful..things are going bad for him this year. Form the Subsidy issue, to the Ebony mag interview, to the final split from Mohits and now this? He really nEeds to swallow his pride and watch his back.
JJc or what ever you call yourself free d'banj! At one stage in ur career someone helped you so let d'banj be.
I see pride,cheating and jealousy in all this.evry1 involvd has a fault an its rilly disapointn.and it shows again dt nothing lasts 4ever.
Jjc or wat do u call urslf, que Dieu te punisse. Even if u helped him bcum wat he is today, u av no right 2 say all dose words. Mind you, he's doing wat u can't do, breaking boundaries nd winning d soul of evry music lover home and abroad. Pls ask JJC 1 question. Hw many awards av u won??? Get a life by doing music with pigs. If u eva in ur life insult D'banj again, u'll get more frm me.. Oloshi
hehe! Watch Nollywood… this is just a script in the making….lol. Lets see… they name of the movie might be..uhmm….'Kokomaster palava Part 1,2,3,4 and 5'
See enviness o! shey na don jazzy write lyrics for lagos party rmx too ni…abeg make dis JJC guy go fynd beta work do…mttcchheew!!
This s nothing but hate and jelocy. If you claim to be so good then why are you not as successful as even wande coal.. I think you are just bitter that the guy who used to eat your feed and sleep on ur bed is more successful than your broke ass You claim to be holy, did you not do scams? When he was under you, did you not scam dbanj? You paid don jazzy 1k a month and paid dbanj nothing even though you know couldn't sing but could play the mouth organ? What do you call that? you said he was rising his hands towards you, you too what were you looking for? You must have done something wrong that's why, he raised his arm. Dj kas was there when it all started too, yet he was in dbanjs video.
At one stage of our lives, we all must have needed help and if he ate your food and slept on your bed, so do you have to come and say all that.. Personal,I was never a fan of dbanj but after ally these saga, Im beginning to like him more and promot his music amoung my non Nigerian friends..
Nigeria, has always been known negativities, one person tries to rise and give us a little positive image and you try to bring him down, why?
You claim it was about the article that you read but we all know it's not true, we know you have benn waiting to jump in so you can have little fame and spoil the guys name.
I used to have little respect for you but after this, I think you are a cheap, low life loser. You are nothing but a failure that's you it hurts you that your so called boy has gone so far in such a short time and you are trying to make name off him.
If Don Jazzzy wants to go,then he should.. There are hundreds of producers out there.. Dapo is successful, he will get people to write him songs and produce his songs and trust me he will be bigger than you your biggest your dream ..
We all know dbanj would have nothing without you unfortunately, you were mentioned on mercury records website, he remembers everything both the good and the bad. From my whole opinion, ithnk you started well but did not end well thats why you do get repect from him.
This is perhaps the longest comment I've ever I had to write but going by the way you jumped and attacked dbanj, i just feel I should let out my mind based on the various interviews.
Hater please go back to you taxi driving businesss and be original. Fake ass idiot.. Good for nothing old fool..
This s nothing but hate and jelocy. If you claim to be so good then why are you not as successful as even wande coal.. I think you are just bitter that the guy who used to eat your feed and sleep on ur bed is more successful than your broke ass You claim to be holy
Jobless clowns, all of you need to be doing something with your lives. All the actors you guys are panning are living their lives, go live yours. Shikena *drops mic*.

But even so, Brooke Burke-Charvet's replacement is still getting the hang of things.

The Australia native will blog for PEOPLE about competing with Big Time Rush band member James Maslow during the show's 18th season.
This has been the most work I've ever had in the off-season. I didn't stop working. I was touring and making appearances and attending charity events. I didn't get any break or holiday or anything like that, but that's how I like it. I love being busy. It felt like this season crept up so quickly. The premiere is right around the corner and I feel like I just met James.
I think there's a very eclectic bunch of people this season and, so far, everybody has such a nice personality and demeanor. There's not one of them who isn't really, really lovely to work with. I think having three Olympians will be amazing for the competition. They're going to make everyone work a little bit harder to catch up to them.

Since being shockingly replaced by Erin Andrews as the co-host of ABC's hit show for its 18th season (which kicks off on Monday), Brooke Burke-Charvet "has been very encouraging to Erin," fellow host Tom Bergeron, 58, told PEOPLE on Tuesday.
"She and Erin have exchanged phone calls and voicemail messages. Erin was very complimentary to Brooke. So, in the midst of a difficult situation, there's a whole lot of maturity going on."

Its a great source of daily updated info for any boxing fans. I use it for The Ring magazine news, which is best by far for me with updates and new headlines with pics or vids every day of the week. I'm from england and use this along with the Sky sports news app every day. The downside is when I click on a headline, its a gamble whether or not it will take me to a crappy link to an ad or competit

tow dingy with outboard?
A decision to tow the inflatable with engine mounted or not, depends upon sea conditions & length of passage. Our engine is always removed while at the marina and stays off until we reach our destination. If we are living aboard for an extended weekend in Narragansett Bay, taking short hops from our marina to an overnight mooring, anchorage or daytime gunkhole, once mounted, the outboard stays on the inflatable.
We have noticed however, that the outboard creates added weight resistance & drag when sailing. If the hassle of removing and remounting the engine is considered worthwhile, remove the engine to gain the extra half knot or so.
When making extended cruises offshore, we always remove & secure the engine. If seas become very rough, the inflatable is lifted & secured onboard as well.

37 year old woman | Highlands Ranch, CO, USA | Seeking men 34-43 within 30 miles
Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.
Alrighty – first and foremost, I am not looking for a fling. This site is somewhat notorious for that so I wanted to clear that up asap. :) I lived in Switzerland for 22 years and then moved to Colorado in April 2012, primarily to be closer to my sister and nephews. I was briefly married about a gazillion years ago – no kids. Geneva is an entirely different world from Colorado so the transition has not been the easiest, but I love the sunshine and outdoor activities this place has to offer. I strive to try new things – experiencing the adventures life has to offer – but, oddly, it is really tough trying to find someone who will go on twisty, crazy rollercoasters with me! In the evening I turn into (a werewolf… ha! Lame…sorry…) a bit of a homebody and although I enjoy the occasional dinner out or happy hour with friends, I like nothing more than cooking a nice dinner, opening a bottle of red wine (or box of wine – no judgment) and settling down to watch a movie. I am honest, straightforward, very compassionate, slightly dorky, a tad loony, and care deeply for my close friends and family. I am not a fan of people who play mind games and please – save the drama fo' yo' mamma. Quite simply, I am searching for a great, compassionate, caring man who can make me laugh and inspire me - someone who is stable and happy in their life and searching for a partner to compliment that.

I have read so much on this but I'm still not 100% sure. I have a friend who moved Northern Ireland who I talk to practically every day on MSN. They've changed their cell phone number to and international number.
My monthly allowance tells me I have unlimited texting usage. I wanted to test their new number and it worked. I have only texted them once just to test it. The usage bar for text messaging didn't budge, but I don't want to keep texting my friend if it'll make my mom pay more since she's the main number in our plan and the one who pays the phone bill.
I really need to know if texting my friend will charge me anything or if I'm okay and don't need to worry.
International messaging is not included in your messaging pacakge. It will be .25/send and .20/receive messages. You can confirm this under the International Services page on this website; here. So it's probably best to keep chatting thru MSN.

This is a very portable, well-designed scope, with impressive collimation. I would have preferred the addition of a standard finder. You will need the accessories mentioned above: power supply, some higher quality eyepieces, and probably some filters, especially for moon viewing. Solar viewing requires a special filter that blocks all UV and most visible light (99.999 %). Note that projecting a solar image through the telescope would harm it, as the warning tag states.
The SkyAlign and other GoTo features worked as designed, making casual astronomy so much easier. The price points of the 6" and 8" scopes are at a sweet spot; I consider them both eminently affordable. Of those advanced amateurs I met at the Los Angeles Astronomical Society (LAAS) and on the Web site cloudyskies.com, most have a smaller, portable scope. Why? Because it's fun. You can set this very light weight scope (about 21 lbs) on the tripod (9 lbs) in less than five minutes. The NexStar 6SE accepts standard attachments, and the resolution is good. It's not something you would really outgrow. It is good for astrophotography, but you will need to add a camera adapter-T-mount preferred-instead of the generic contraption I tried to use. Even better is a CCD camera.
An Olympus C-7070 coupled to the NexStar 6 SE via the digital camera adapter
I'm sure you have a spare webcam; try converting your own! See here and here to get you started.
The 6" would be a very good choice for a serious student, a casual adult, someone not too sure of their interest, or those not wanting to examine fainter DSOs. I would have preferred a slightly bigger scope; the most popular scope in the Celestron line is the 8" SCT, and that is the scope for which I lust.

0Anonymous , December 29, 2007 5:45 PMGoTo mounts are for lazy people who don't really understand the essence of observing the sky. It's certainly a fun thing to create if you are an engineer, but if you're considering using one, take my advice and buy a book with pictures of the Messier catalog, it's a lot cheaper. A true amateur astronomer never uses those revolting, despicable, hideous GoTo mounts. Get a real standard equatorial mount. Get a good sky atlas. Get a pair of quality binoculars. Know your sky! That's astronomy...
-1originalgadgetguy , December 31, 2007 5:30 PMA sensitive topic to be sure. But the point of the article was to encourage those who have an interest in astronomy but never bit the bullet. That is, they don't own a scope because they aren't willing to learn all that needs to be done to find stuff. OK, even lazy. And our readers totally grok computers.
Many amateurs started by using a GoTo. IMHO, the more astronomers the better. Talking to denizens of LAAS and reading cloudyskies.com, there is little sense of elitism. All amateurs are welcome, even and esp. those with GoTos.
I didn't have room to talk about the wedges that covert yoke mounts to equatorial mounts, but they exist for many yoke types. That way you can have the best of both worlds.
Finally, one of the books I recommended does just what you suggest: tries to teach the night sky so you can find stuff without using (or even using) a GoTo. Hope this addresses your comments.
0Anonymous , December 31, 2007 6:40 PMI think the guys who say to get a star chart and spend 6 months learning how to find and track things are missing the point and living in the 19th century.
The fact is that these new generations of scopes make astronomy so much more accessible to people who find astronomy interesting but don't have the time or ability to invest. They also make it simple to introduce new people to astronomy by quickly showing them lots of interesting things.
Plus, as a computer geek, there is nothing more fun than plugging your telescope into your laptop, hooking up a camera and driving it around from your computer. Do an easy DIY project like adapting a webcam to use with the scope and you have yourself tons of fun *and* you learn the night sky, you just don't waste months of time trying to figure out how to see anything.
1Anonymous , January 2, 2008 2:23 AMI totally agree with smurfdog - you spend more time observing and imaging objects than trying to find them - and most of them are very dim anyways. THe manual method of finding objects is definitely 19th century stuff.
0coreym72 , January 2, 2008 3:21 PMScience is ever changing and self-correcting. To memorize the sky from Earth is one thing and to explore the universe is another. Technology makes Astronomy possible for all who are willing to learn and grow. Why not use both to your advantage.
0Anonymous , January 3, 2008 10:19 AMDoug,
I really praise the point of your article. I also love to teach everything I know about the topic to anyone who's interested in the subject, like most amateurs.
Like you said, there's no to little sense of elitism in those groups. But I also know this: Like all the really rewarding things in life, Astronomy requires persistence and solid interest.
I decided to comment your article since I disagree on some things you wrote and that contrast may help people who read it, look at the picture from another angle.
Trying to find Deep Sky Objects or the planets (very easy with little experience and knowledge) in the sky, is where most of the fun is! Having a computer doing it for you is like you own a Porsche and let a chauffeur drive you. The only difference here is that, unlike the chauffeur, the computer has no fun at all!
I didn't find anything interesting on cloudyskies.com, apparently is just a domain for sale. Did you mean www.cloudynights.com?
If your interest is solid, you've got nothing to fear, understanding the sky is a lot easier than most people think.
0originalgadgetguy , January 4, 2008 4:45 PMDiogo et al,
My bad! Yes of course I meant www.cloudynights.com. It's a great site for advice, and mostly cogent tips on purchasing and use.
I think we can agree that for some, starting with GoTos is a great way of getting into astronomy. Then you can progress to star charts and maps, relying less on the GoTo. I want to encourage people to begin this exciting hobby.
Amateur astronomers are one of the few science disciplines where amatuers can and do make professional level contributions!
And even though I understand how the SkyScout works, it is unbelievable to actually use it and watch it ID an object, or have it guide you to some random star in its database...Awesome product. For me, this really helped me better learn the night sky. It's like using a crutch (or a chaffeur) then weaning yourself away from it and driving yourself. Much less pain, and kick butt fun.
Hope this answers your concerns.
Clear skies!
0Anonymous , January 25, 2008 12:09 AMDoug,
I am a beginner in the field of astronomy and astrophotography and I would like to purchase some equiptment. Im not exactly sure what types of telescopes and astrophotography equiptment would be best for a beginner and it would be great if you could offer me some advice. I have done a lot of research on telescopes preferably under $500 and CCD cameras along with laptops. If you have any advice that would be great! Thanks.
0enewmen , December 10, 2009 4:19 AMIt's about 2 years later and I'm really getting into this now.

Yeah, but the point of that movie was to tell the story from the point of view of average people caught up in it.
That is a departure from most monster movies where the main focus seems to be on the people (government/military/whatever) trying to deal the "big picture" of killing or eliminating the monster threat. By that very nature of those traditional monster movies, the main characters whose task it is to try to eliminate the threat of the monster have/gain a lot of information about the monster (and, thus, so does the audience).
, on the other hand, was mostly about the people on the ground, and by that very nature, they would have far less information about the monster itself.
It was that departure from the traditional way to tell a monster invasion story is why I DID like

Halftime: Azkals lead HK, 1-0, on James Younghusband header
More News from Mark Giongco
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines — James Younghusband opened up the scoring for the Philippines as the Azkals take a 1-0 lead over Hong Kong at the end of the first half of their Fifa international friendly Tuesday at Mongkok Stadium in Hong Kong.
Younghusband scored on a header — rising above his defender — in the 33rd minute off the delivery by Stephan Schrock.
Hong Kong went for the equalizer four minutes later but to no avail with Neil Etheridge holding his ground.
