THE VOLTA Regional Minister. Mr. Samuel Kofi Dzamesi has expressed shock over the reports of extortion by coordinators of the National Youth Employment Programme (NYEP).
He however advocated for total dismissal of coordinators who were caught not only in extorting money from the people but engage in activities that sought to derail the government's move and discredit it.
The Minister who stated that it was untenable and uncalled for, for anybody to want to sabotage the programme for his or her whims and caprices, called for prosecution of Coordinators that fall foul of the law.
"I recommend total dismissal of people caught in the act. Those people must face the full rigors of the law because we cannot allow them to discredit the project and the government," he said.
"It is wrong to try to do anything outside the law. Anybody who does that must be dealt with," he said.
In an interaction with this paper on his views on the situation as far as Volta Region where he is the boss was concerned, Mr. Dzamesi, said though the NYEP would face some minor encounters just like other policies in the region because, the people in the region, it was not in the right direction for Coordinators to exploit people through extortion.
"I have asked that all the employments in the various districts should be forwarded to the regional liaison officers for proper scrutiny to prevent them from discrediting the government."
According to him, despite that fact that people in the region do have some reservations about whatever policy that NPP brings, he underscored that the people later embrace it. He cited the National Insurance Health Scheme (NHIS) as an example and stated that Volta region, is now leading in terms of the number of registers.
Mr. Dzamesi also revealed that Akatsi district in the region is also leading in youth agricultural programme.
Describing the recent extortion saga as the most worst form of extortion because the people who are looking for job to be subjected to another form he said, he would not sit down in his region for people to abuse and discredit the government.
The regional Minister urged electorate to desist from politicizing the recent NYEP, which was meant to alleviate and reduce the unemployment in the nation.
"I don't believe that there is politicization but in most cases, it was the NDC that wants to politicize everything. This policy is for the whole nation even though people in the region believes that it was for the NPP, but I can assure you that some people from Ketu South who are NDC members are employed to work. The only reason is that it was just new to them."
Pledging sustainability of the NYEP in the region because money to sustain it comes from both the common fund and internal generated funds.
The Minister who incidentally returned from a tour of some projects within Ho Municipality said sooner or later, Ho would change miraculously to the admirations of the people.
Mr. Dzamesi recounted a lot of projects that the NPP administration has executed in the region and is still in the process of doing more in terms of development in the region.
According to him, the government has allocated ¢40billion for the whole Municipality and stated that by the end of 2008, the region would see a lot of transformation and improvement in the lives of residents.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
1990 Ford Mustang LX - Calling Card
Buy a blower from John Stamper, and it comes with a special preview
John Stamper has the right idea about cars. Not concerned with class legislation, he's been content to construct the 5.0 Mustang he wants to build: simple, powerful, and respected. In many ways, the car tells us more about the man who built it than he would ever tell you about himself. In the end, John's goal was simple-build a 5.0 Mustang that's a lot of fun to drive.
With that mature view of what a performance car is all about, you might guess John is experienced about life, and you'd be right. The now 62-year-young is a retired sergeant major from the U.S. Army who was a physician's assistant helping to defend our country until his retirement in 1987. He's always been into hot street cars-his first was a '55 Fairlane with the Thunderbird 312 V-8 option. He followed that up with a '69 Torino that packed the Ford 428 Super Cobra Jet, Ram Air, and a C6 transmission.
After leaving the Army, John turned his focus to the 5.0 Mustang, which at that time was starting to take over the streets of America. Looking for the next big thing in Ford muscle, the 5.0 Mustang was the obvious choice. John bought his notchback and began modifying it with the disciplined planning and execution befitting his military background. In 1995, John opened his own performance shop, Super Chargers Plus [(317) 440-2314] in Indianapolis, realizing that many people could benefit from his experience and skills.
Starting with the exterior of his own car, John didn't waste his money on looks. Nope-this is a down-to-business sort of car for an all-business owner. The Cervini's hood is a great mod, as it dumps some of the front weight and adds style. Other than the lightweight Weld rims, everything is as Detroit designed it or "a subtle little lady going down the street," as John describes the look.
But it's no subtle lady when the throttle is cranked. John put together the motor in 1998, and through the years he's bolted several good pieces on the 306. We captured it on film in the summer of 2004. Featuring a Vortech T-Trim, a Vortech Power Cooler, Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads, and little else, the motor was kicking out more than 600 hp before John shut it down due to lack of fuel during a chassis-dyno test session. Then he popped in some 50-pounders that replaced the overwhelmed 36-lb/hr injectors and added a second Vortech T-Rex fuel pump. To be honest, he's probably still on the dangerous side when the thing hits 26-plus-pounds of boost, but John quickly admits the current fuel system isn't his last.
He chose a proven performer with an F303 Ford camshaft, which was designed to work with supercharged combinations just like John's. Sure, there are dozens of custom blower-specific camshafts to choose from now, but John isn't into giving away his street manners for the sake of some horsepower. We have to say, though, you could probably find another 100 hp in this combo if you started testing camshafts.
"In 1998, it was one of the better cams," John tells us regarding the F cam. "I just built this motor for fun. It had to be street friendly. The F303 doesn't have a ton of lobe, and you can make it idle nicely. I'll tell you, it has a ton of top-end power."
John's suspension is also a study in efficiency and bang-for-the-buck. Koni adjustable struts and shocks make up the bulk of the mods. He replaced the upper and lower control arms with pieces from South Side Machine and Metco, and the front sway bar is long gone. Also helping weight transfer is a set of Moroso Trick springs that John describes as difficult to install but tremendous at lifting the front of the car while squatting the rear.

Is the Governor backing measures in Tallahassee that will benefit him personally?
Robert Lorei
Last Call Monday | Listen to this entire show:
Last week Florida Governor Rick Scott signed an executive order requiring drug testing testing for many current state workers and job applicants, The Miami Herald reports today that legal scholars say the governor has overreached, and that his order contradicts what many consider to be settled law regarding drug-testing of government employees.
Joining us to talk about this and what might be a conflict of interest for the Governor is Joy-Ann Reid, she's the editor of the Reid Report and a political columnist for The Miami Herald. Last week she wrote a story for her blog in which she raised four questions the Governor needs to answer regarding his possible conflicts of interest involving measures he is backing in Tallahassee.comments powered by Disqus

Benjamin Hornigold
The Pirates' Pirate
By Cindy Vallar
Most biographies begin with a person's birth or the identity of his parentage, but Benjamin Hornigold didn't enter the historical record until 1713 following the end of the War of the Spanish Succession (also known as Queen Anne's War). When Carlos II of Spain died in 1700, he had no children to inherit his throne. The crown passed to Philippe, duc d'Anjou, grandson of Carlos' half-sister, Maria Teresa, and Louis XIV of France. As a second son, Philippe was unlikely to inherit the French throne. If, however, his brother (who eventually become Louis XV), died without issue, Philippe would rule not only Spain, but also France, the Spanish colonies in the Americas, the Spanish Netherlands, and a sizable chunk of Italy. Such supremacy didn't sit well with other European powers and in 1701 the War of the Spanish Succession began. The Treaty of Utrecht, signed in 1713, ended hostilities between Spain, France, the Netherlands, and Britain.
With the cessation of the war, all English letters of marque granted to privateers became null and void. This put many seamen out of work and some went on the account. Benjamin Hornigold may have been one of these men, but he still considered himself a true privateer and attacked only enemy ships.* In May 1716 the Boston News Letter reported that after capturing a French ship, he informed the master that "they never consented to the Articles of Peace with the French and Spaniards" and that "they meddle not with the English or Dutch." After reading this account, Alexander Spotswood, Governor of Virginia and an ardent enemy of pirates, thought otherwise. In a letter to his superiors, he wrote:
Originally based in Jamaica, Hornigold soon moved his base of operations to New Providence, the perfect place for a pirate haven. It was located near the Straits of Florida, the main shipping lane vessels bound for Latin America traveled. The numerous islands, cays, and islets that comprise the Bahamas provided myriad hidden shelters for pirate vessels and plenty of food and fresh water to feed their crews.
Spotswood was aware of this new "nest of pirates" and impending danger. In July 1716, he forwarded to the Council of Trade and Plantations in London the deposition of John Vickers, who had recently come from New Providence.
In Nov. last Benjamin Hornigold arrived at Providence in the sloop Mary of Jamaica, belonging to Augustine Golding, which Hornigold took upon the Spanish coast, and soon after the taking of the said sloop, he took a Spanish sloop loaded with dry goods and sugar, which cargo he disposed of at Providence, but the Spanish sloop was taken from him by Capt. Jennings of the sloop Bathsheba of Jamaica. In January Hornigold sailed from Providence in the said sloop Mary, having on board 140 men, 6 guns and 8 pattararas [swivel guns], and soon after returned with another Spanish sloop, which he took on the coast of Florida. After he had fitted the said sloop at Providence, he sent Golding's sloop back to Jamaica to be returned to the owners: and in March last sailed from Providence in the said Spanish sloop, having on board near 200 men, but whither bound deponent knoweth not.
These pirates weren't the only riffraff plaguing the islands, for Vickers also described around fifty others who had plundered the wrecks of treasure galleons.
[They] committ great disorders in that Island, plundering the inhabitants, burning their houses, and ravishing their wives. One Thomas Barrow formerly mate of a Jamaica brigantine which run away some time ago with a Spanish marquiss's money and effects, is the chief of them and gives out that he only waits for a vessell to go out a pirating, that he is Governor of Providence and will make it a second Madagascar, and expects 5 or 600 men more from Jamaica sloops to join in the settling of Providence, and to make war on the French and Spaniards, but for the English, they don't intend to meddle with them, unless they are first attack'd by them . . . .
About a year ago one Daniel Stillwell formerly belonging to Jamaica, and lately settled on Isle Aethera, went in a small shallop, with John Kemp, Matthew Low, two Dutchmen, and – Darvell to the coast of Cuba and there took a Spanish lanch [launch] having on board 11,050 pieces of eight, and brought the same into Isle Aethera; and Capt. Thomas Walker of Providence having received advice thereof from the Governor of Jamaica, seized Stillwell and his vessell, but upon the coming of Hornigold to Providence, Stillwell was rescued and Capt. Walker threatned to have his house burned for offering to concern himself, Hornigold saying that all pirates were under his protection. . . . Signed, John Vickers.
Hornigold and his cohorts adopted the moniker "the flying gang." Vickers wasn't the only one to provide eyewitness testimony to what had befallen New Providence and the risk the pirates' presence posed to good English citizens because of the raids on Spanish vessels and territories. Walker wrote:
I was formerly directed by H.E. Genll. Nicholson to render to your Lordships an accot. of the state and condition of ye Bohamia Islands wch. has a long time bin without governmts., The want of wch. has laid those Islands open to be a recepticall and shelter of pirates and loose fellows and gives ye inhabitants as well as ye trading vessuals from other parts ye liberty and oppertunity of inriching themselves by sideing and dealing with, entertaining and releiveing such villians who from time to time resort there to sell and dispose of their piraticall goods, and perfusely spend wtt.[what?] they take from ye English, French and mostly Spaniards, and as I am an inhabitant of New Providence have bin an eye witness to those ellegiall and unwarrantable practises commited both by ye piratts and inhabitants and others tradeing there, and have used ye uttmost of my endeavours to put by and prevent them, as alsoe by my goeing to the Havana hath bin a means of preventing ye design of ye provoked Spaniards comeing to cut those Islands off for the piraces ytt. has since ye peace bin commited even by some of the inhabitants of those Islands.
The pirates daly increse to Providence and haveing began to mount ye guns in ye Fort for there[their] defence and seeking ye oppertunity to kill mee because I was against their illegall and unwarrantable practices and by no means would consent to their mounting of guns in ye Fort upon such accots. I was thereupon forced with my wife and family to acquitt ye Island to my great expence and damage and ye latter part of June last arrived safe to this Province [South Carolina] where I remaine upon expence in hopes thatt H.M.[His Majesty] will be gratiously pleased to take those Islands under his care and protection, etc. that ye Islands may become a flourishing plantation, etc.
In 1717 Captain Matthew Munthe went pirate hunting on orders from Deputy Governor Robert Daniel of South Carolina, who was concerned about the effects such men would have on trade and the citizenry of the colony. An accident prevented Munthe from carrying out part of his orders, but he did send Daniel a report that included:
Five pirates made ye harbor of Providence their place of rendezvous vizt. Horngold, a sloop with 10 guns and about 80 men; Jennings, a sloop with 10 guns and 100 men; Burgiss, a sloop with 8 guns and about 80 men; White, in a small vessel with 30 men and small arms; Thatch, a sloop 6 gunns and about 70 men. (Konstam, Blackbeard, 64)
During his brief stint as a pirate, Hornigold used a variety of vessels. His first sloop was Happy Return, although he merely sailed her. Jonathan Darvell owned the sloop; unhappy with his share of the profits, Hornigold and two other men bought a boat from an Eleutheran. With this they captured two Cuban vessels carrying treasure valued at 46,000 pieces of eight. In 1715 he seized a sloop-of-war, which he christened Benjamin. Two hundred pirates manned her. When he later parted company with Samuel Bellamy, he sailed a smaller sloop named Adventure. At some point he may also have captained a vessel named Ranger armed with thirty-six guns.
At this point Benjamin Hornigold was one of the four most influential pirates at New Providence. The others were Henry Jennings, Josiah Burgess, and Edward Teach. The last had learned the tricks of his trade from Hornigold, who recognized Teach's talents early on and mentored him. As for Jennings, he considered Hornigold his rival. For example, in 1716 Jennings tried to steal a rich prize Hornigold had captured, but that crafty pirate eluded him.
Not long after Hornigold escaped Jennings' clutches, Samuel Bellamy, Paulsgrave Williams, and their men asked to join up with Hornigold. These audacious New Englanders had just stolen treasure from Jennings. This impressed Hornigold, who not only welcomed them, but made Bellamy captain of the Marianne, even though others from his own crew, including Edward Teach, were more deserving. When Olivier La Buse, captain of the Postillion, and his men happened upon this new fleet of pirates, they decided to sail in consort. Together they sailed the West Indies in search of prey, capturing forty-one prizes in less than one year.
When an English sail was sighted, the pirates wanted to attack. Hornigold did not, but since majority ruled amongst the brethren, they attacked the vessel. Amongst those captured was twenty-five-year-old John Brown, who gave testimony about what happened on 6 May 1717.
About a year agoe he belonged to a Ship commanded by Captain Kingston, which in her voyage with Logwood to Holland was taken to the Leeward of the Havana by two Piratical Sloops, one commanded by Hornygold and the other by a Frenchman called Leboose, each having 70 men on board. The pirats kept the Ship about 8 or 10 daies, and then having taken out off her what they thought proper delivered her back to some of the men, who belonged to her. Leboose kept the Examinate on board his Sloop about 4 months, the English Sloop under Hornigolds command keeping company with them all that time. Off Cape Corante they took two Spanish Briganteens without any resistance, laden with cocoa from Ma[l]aca. The Spaniards, not coming up to the pirats demand about the ransom, were put ashoar and their Briganteens burn'd. They sailled next to the Isle of Pines, where meeting with three or four English Sloops empty, they made use of them in cleaning their own, and gave them back. From thence they sailled in the latter end of May to Hispaniola, where they tarried about 3 months. The Examinate then left Leboose and went on board the Sloop commanded formerly by Hornygold, but at that time by one Bellamy, who upon a difference arising amongst the English Pirats because Hornygold refused to take and plunder English Vessels, was chosen by a great majority their Captain, and Hornygold departed with 26 hands in a Prize Sloop . . . .
Among those loyal followers was Edward Teach, but within a few months, he, too, followed his own path to become one of the most feared pirates of the era, Blackbeard.
Part 2
By now the British Crown could no longer ignore the pleas of merchants and citizens to suppress the pirates. To that end George II issued this royal proclamation on 5 September 1717:
*Evidence does exist to contradict this declaration, but Hornigold returned the captured vessel to its owners several months later.

LOW cost carrier FastJet has confirmed that it is in talks with Emirates for a possible partnership after the latter expressed its desire to partner with the regional airline two weeks ago.
The budget airline started operations in Tanzania last month and is expected to launch in Kenya next year to boost air travel through low fares. FastJet, in a post on its website, said the Tanzania launch has received overwhelming market response with flights between Dar es Salaam to Mwanza and Kilimanjaro routes being booked to as far as March 2013.
"A partnership would benefit both fastjet and Emirates with greater passenger traffic and would give travellers in Africa the opportunity to connect to the rest of the world through Emirates' Dubai hub with Fastjet providing passengers from African cities," said FastJet CEO Ed Winter.
Earlier this month, during a visit to Nairobi, Emirates senior vice president for Africa operations Jean-Luc Grillet said the Dubai based airline was keen on teaming up with FastJet to improve its market appeal.
FastJet is the first ever budget airline in the continent charging fares as low as Sh1,200 for regional routes albeit without the frills that come with air travel like meals. The fare only covers the seat and taxes.
By end of first week after launching in Tanzania, the airline had sold 18,090 tickets to the two destinations Dar es Salaam and Mwanza. The airline's passenger numbers in November-which incorporated the first week of Tanzania operations-rose to 64,670 from 43,049 over the same period last year.
After full rollout expected next year, FastJet will operate from four hubs in Ghana, Angola, Tanzania and Nairobi. FastJet was formed after investors bought Fly540 and rebranded it to FastJet to operate a budget carrier modeled along the likes of Easy Jet which is one of Europe's largest low cost airlines.

Luckily I didn't have to join late because my P's showed up at my mom's house yesterday. So happy. I haven't learned all the stuff about it and from what I've seen there's not a guide or anything. I started it up hoping that it would be a girl because there are so many cute girls and I got a boy. Here's the unpacking that I did.
And after I put the batteries in there was the egg, shaking back and forth.
And then the egg hatched and it was a cute little boy puffball.
Later on he evolved into the cute little turtle guy and I painted him pink, because it's Valentine's day.
So far he's gone from the charisma trait to the style and now I've got him at the intelligence trait for now. Which is what I want because I'm going for the Cosmotchi teen.
I must apologize for the quality of my photos, they are from my phone which has a really bad camera.

Safety Expo
The Cypress Health Region's first annual Safety Expo is scheduled for Sept. 13 in response to the identification of safety as the Region's number one value.
The free come and go event begins at 10 a.m. and runs until 9 p.m. at the Cypress Regional Hospital, with an array of prizes including two Apple iPads awarded to lucky participants.
"Last year the Region hosted a very successful Transfer/Lift/Repositioning Expo in which more than 150 staff attended," commented Jill Gates, Patient Safety Coordinator for Cypress Health.
"We've decided to build off of that success by making this into a larger, more safety focused event that is also open to the public. With safety being the most important value of the Cypress Health Region, we believe it's important to provide this Expo to not only educate, but also receive feedback on safety."
The Safety Expo will bring a variety of exhibits together to educate staff and public on the important topic of safety. The public will be able to participate in exhibits to learn how to properly wash their hands; tour a bariatric ambulance; learn effective techniques for transferring, lifting, or repositioning objects; decrease the risks of falling; live a healthy lifestyle through exercise and nutrition, and much more.
The Expo will also be an opportunity for Cypress Health Region staff members to continue to enhance their knowledge of proper techniques for delivering safe healthcare services.
For more information on the Expo, call 778-5283 or 778-5179.

Research: Smart meters got undue attention in smart grid
Billions of dollars in federal subsidies for smart utility meters have been misspent on meter technology that will not lead to energy sustainability or contribute to the possibility of a more efficient and responsive electricity grid, contends the National Institute for Science, Law & Public Policy (NISLAPP).
view the full-size image.
The research contends that Congress, state and local governments, as well as ratepayers, have been misled about the potential energy and cost saving benefits of the new smart meters and that smart meters are confused with the much broader concept of the smart grid with an undue emphasis on meters which diverts badly needed resources for key elements of true smart grid technology.
Dr. Timothy Schoechle, an international consultant in computer engineering and standardization, and smart grid technology expert has been engaged in development of electric utility meters for more than 25 years, calls U.S. smart meter roll outs "a canard -- a story or hoax based on specious claims about energy benefits."
To date, 18 states have organized groups opposing smart meters. Schoechle predicts that this is only the "tip of the iceberg." Ratepayers' desire to opt out of the new wireless meters on privacy, security, reliability, cost and potential public health grounds may herald "an epochal transformation of the political economy of energy," according to the report.
According to Schoechle, some data collected by smart meters is not necessary to the basic purpose of the smart grid, such as supply/demand balancing, demand response, dynamic pricing, renewables integration, or local generation and storage which flies in the face of conventional wisdom.
The research says that state and local governments have mistakenly believed that the installation of smart meters will lead to reduction in use of fossil fuels, greater electricity efficiency and long-term energy economy benefits. But efforts to further develop and standardize technologies that could achieve those goals have languished, according to the report, while investments with stimulus funding have instead been made in technologies that serve only the short-term economic interests of the utility industry instead of the interests of a true smart grid.

Migration Is Key to Support and Transform Legacy
The installed base of industrial networks has been engineered to operate reliably in the specific applications and environments for which they were designed, closed and are operated, using a myriad of physical layer communications and language protocols. Product obsolescence, limitations in scalability of the infrastructure and potential loss of highly skilled support all have become high-Pareto challenges to managers. In this white paper, we introduce a new approach to the modernization of industrial automation and distributed control networks, and describe how they can be deployed to easily, rapidly, securely, reliably and cost-effectively transform existing legacy industrial network infrastructures into those that can support IP-enabled devices that are connected to the Cloud.

The fuel limits were pushed through by the MSMA, the Motorcycle Sports Manufacturers Association, at the request of Honda. Dorna protested, saying that they did not think it was a good idea, but Dorna were powerless. Under the contract signed with the MSMA collectively, the manufacturers had a monopoly over the technical rules. Any rule the MSMA proposed would go through automatically. That includes rules such as the 21 liter fuel limit, the switch to 800cc, the engine limits (6, which they want to reduce to 5).
I asked Nakamoto once how Honda would feel about a change to the fuel limit. He looked at me as if I had just offered to sleep with his grandmother. The fuel limits mean that the factories get to work on fuel delivery at part throttle openings, which, they claim, helps them develop better throttle response for their road bikes.
Now, blame Ezpeleta for the chronic lack of money in the series, the fact that they prefer to keep chronically poor teams in the series rather than rich, well-funded ones, and Dorna's propensity to persuade sponsors to leave teams and sponsor races. But Dorna has little to do with the technical rules so far. The rules they have imposed are the 81mm bore and maximum of 4 cylinders. They did this because they couldn't persuade the manufacturers to accept a rev limit.
All that changed when the agreement with the MSMA ran out at the end of 2011. Right now, the MSMA has the same influence over the technical regulations as Dorna does: they have one vote in the Grand Prix Commission, which consists of the MSMA, Dorna, the FIM and IRTA (teams). Now, Dorna can propose rule changes if the teams support them.
The current proposal for a spec ECU comes from Dorna, and would come with an increase of fuel to 24 liters (that didn't stop Petrucci from running out of fuel, however). Honda are threatening to quit over the spec ECU. The rev limit they can accept (just) but a spec ECU negates their ability to gain a competitive advantage merely by outspending the other factories.
One final little story about the MSMA and their amazing technical competence. Dorna asked the factories to come up with ways of saving money, and more especially, cutting the lease price of a satellite bike back to around a million dollars. The factories found it difficult, and eventually proposed adopting a single bike rule, as WSBK, Moto2 and Moto3 has. Dorna thanked them kindly and said they would submit a proposal to the Grand Prix Commission. Shortly before the GPC meeting, an MSMA representative had a meeting with IRTA and asked them urgently to vote against the single bike rule. They didn't really want the rule, and didn't think it would save that much, but as they'd put it forward, they couldn't very well take it back again. So by asking IRTA to vote against it, they ensured that it would not be adopted. That is the level of competence we are talking about
: getting other people to vote against their own proposals, because those proposals turn out to be stupid. I should add that I have this story from first hand, directly from one of the parties involved, and it was corroborated by a second source.
Thank you for the clarification. For me, it makes little difference which power broker screwed the series. They all point their finger at the other guy anyway. I won't tolerate it. Let's see how their throttle responds to a declining fan base.

(HOLLYWOOD, CA) -- Looking every bit as good as the popular television show that was a staple of Must-See TV back in the 1980s on NBCs beloved Thursday night line-up, Not the Cosbys XXX is closing in on the #1 spot on national sales charts everywhere and might just be the best porn parody comedy ever made.
Directed by Will Ryder of not the Bradys XXX, not Threes Company XXX and not Bewitched XXX fame, not the Cosbys XXX is streaking towards the number one position on multiple DVD sales charts including the highly respected Adult Video News trade magazine where it is currently up to number five.
''If you are a fan of this genre, then Cosbys is a must-see. If you arent a fan you might become one after this. Not the Cosbys XXX is Must-See Stroke-TV,'' stated Roger Pipe in his review on www.rogreviews.com where he gave the movie his coveted Rog Pick designation.
Xcritics Don Houston said on www.xcritic.com ''Not the Cosbys XXX once again hit the high mark as the best sitcum (situation porn parody) to date, elevating the standard for the rest of the pack yet again. The levels of interracial fuck for the buck, the acting, and the entertainment value taken as a whole was so solid that it reminds me of what porn could be. No wonder why the production team is hailed as the saviors of modern porn.''
''That pretty much sums up the comments weve been getting from fans and critics alike,'' stated Will Ryder who along with co-producing partner Scott David just completed Flight Attendants for their powerhouse label X-Play.
''If you love beautiful girls, interracial sex and Nick-at-Nite youll love this movie,'' Ryder said from his bustling office high above Hollywood & Vine and mere feet from the famed sidewalk star of the late great Michael Jackson on Vine Street.
''We dedicate this movie to the incredible memory of Michael Jackson and his great music,'' Ryder said. ''I live directly across the street from the house they used at the end of his Thriller video where the monsters come crashing through the walls so we just want to make people happy especially during this sad time. I just think this is by far our best movie on every level but if you want to be sure and compare it with our other movies you can pick up the DVDs in stores or watch them exclusively online at AEBN.''
This wonderful spoof feels just like an episode of the classic hit show. Denise is feeling the everyday pressures from her cute and sex-crazed teenage girl friends to have sex and lose her virginity. With college on the horizon, she tries to figure out what to do as Cliff and Claire attempt to keep the household under control while Theo, Sondra, Denise, Vanessa, Rudy and Cockroach go wild in this non-stop interracial sex-a-thon.
Xcritics Don Houston continued his praise stating, ''Technically, this was the most polished production by the team to date, the writing suiting me as a solid homage to the original series rather than an exploitive goof as porn is usually known for with the movie earning a rating of Xcritic Pick from me. Not the Cosbys XXX is now the movie to beat come awards time.''
The double disc collectors DVD set is now available in stores and contains 10 hours of total footage with 10 behind the scenes sections including bloopers and stars a fantastic interracial cast including upstart Misty Stone in an award- worthy performance of Denise prompting Roger Pipe to write, ''If this girl isnt up for some awards at the end of the year then there is a problem.''
Rounding out the stellar cast is Monica Foster as Claire, Melody Nakai as Vanessa, Nina Devon as Rudy, Cassidy Clay as Sondra along with Jenny Hendrix, Sarah Vandella, Tori Black, Lana Violet, Jaelyn Fox, Tyler Knight plays Theo, Tee Reel as Cockroach, Danny Mountain, Scott Lyons, Dick James, Jay Ashley and comedian Thomas Ward who hits a home-run with a perfect impersonation of Cliff Huxtable that is certain to put trophies in his hand come awards season.
The G-rated movie trailer is getting heavy play on YouTube with over 221,000 views already. Check it out to see what all the excitement is about and then head to your favorite video store and pick up a copy. If they are sold out tell them to reorder it but you can also purchase it on the internet from many fine online stores everywhere such as TLARaw.com.
''I want to be really clear that just because the movie is really good and looks like the TV show, this porn spoof was not made or sanctioned by NBC, Carsey Werner Productions or Bill Cosby. They had nothing to do with the production,'' Ryder concluded.
Pick up two copies of not the Cosbys XXX today as it makes a wonderful gift.

PDT Staff Writer
LUCASVILLE — Seventh and 8th grade students from schools in the surrounding area literally had a blast at the 3rd Annual Engineering Summer Camp, sponsored and directed by the Scioto County Career Technical Center's "Project Lead the Way" program.
On Friday, with the assistance of Ryan Keaton — one of the camp instructors and a teacher at Northwest and Valley schools — students were given the opportunity to launch rockets which they designed outside on the lawn of the SCCTC; one of many innovative projects performed during the camp.
The Engineering Camp is a project-based camp for 7th and 8th grade students which encompasses hands-on-projects, provides an introduction to computer-aided design (CAD), and a series of activities which students engage in during the week of their participation. The camp is also designed to stimulate student interest in science and mathematics.
"Three years ago we decided that we wanted to do a junior high camp, so we sent out notices to the local schools that have the Project Lead the Way curriculum that the Career Center offers we tried to target the students that were interested in math and science. We try to do hands-on activities, with the rockets, and we did solar cars this year, and the students really enjoy the project," said Christy Veach, instructor and teacher at SCCTC and Green High School.
Ethan Gifford, a 7th grader, and two-year participant in the Engineering Summer Camp, and the son of James and Lisa Gifford, smiled when he shared his thoughts about the camp.
"I really enjoyed it, because its really fun. You get to learn different things about engineering, make fun stuff, and have fun with other people. I enjoyed making the rockets the most, you get to design the rocket out of a two-liter, watch the pressure build up, then you just shoot them off, with water going everywhere," Gifford said.
Josie Collier, a camp instructor and teacher at SCCTC and both Minford and South Webster, said the camp gives students an opportunity to expand, learn teamwork, and meet students from other schools.
"It also allows them to see how to apply what they have learned in math and science in a hands-on environment, and get to actively participate in those teamwork projects," she said.
The Engineering Camp concluded with a slide show of the different activities that the students participated in during the course of the week. Each student was given a certificate of completion, and a gift bag. Awards were given to teams who completed exceptional projects.

WHEN a shark has been unceremoniously turned into a soup dish, identifying which species it was isn't easy. But a new genetic fingerprinting technique could now allow conservationists and fisheries managers to assess which of the 400 shark species are most threatened by the booming trade in their fins.
Shark-fin soup has become an expensive delicacy in South-East Asia, costing up to $90 a bowl in Hong Kong, for example. Since the shark flesh doesn't keep well, fishermen usually just hack the fins off the animals and toss the bodies back into the ocean. But sharks are slow to mature and only produce a few offspring at a time, so they are vulnerable to overfishing.
Monitoring the shark-fin trade is all but impossible, as once a fin has been cut off, it can be extremely difficult to work out precisely which species it was taken from. Conventional genetic analysis can ...

What really annoys me is all the comments putting poelpe down for liking a type of game by saying this skateboarding game is better than that type of skateboarding game and most of these so called hardcore gamers have probably never even been out skateboarding . It was wrong of me to sink to there level and for that I am sorry. I am normal a nice guy

This makes me sad. I loved the format.
FM talk radio format all talked out? KLSX-FM (97.1) going top 40 Friday [UPDATED] | Pop & Hiss | Los Angeles Times
Good news for local fans of Rihanna, bad news for older talk radio listeners in Los Angeles.
Beginning Friday at 5 p.m., boosters of urban-skewing artists such as Beyoncé, Pink and Britney Spears will have another top 40/"CHR" (contemporary hit radio) station to sing along to in their cars, as L.A.'s only "all-talk" commercial FM station now appears to be all talked out.
KLSX (97.1 Free FM) will switch formats Feb. 20 to CBS Radio's latest concept, titled AMP Radio (not to be confused with the now-defunct Amp'd Mobile, a company that heavily pushed mobile radio to cellphone users in 2006 but filed for bankruptcy protection in 2007).
A CBS Radio news release says the new station (its tagline is "all the hits") will "combine the power of its on-air position with myriad online and digital applications creating a full 360 degree audio and visual experience."
Translation? Listeners of KLSX were probably too old.

Claire Witham and Clive Oppenheimer, volcanologists at the University of Cambridge, have applied a more sophisticated statistical analysis to the records and discovered things were even worse than Grattan suspected, with around 30,000 extra deaths that year - an increase of almost 17 per cent. Yet there was no famine, plague or war to account for it.
The pair also found two distinct peaks in the death rate. The worst months were August and September, when the numbers were 40 per cent up on the 50-year averages. "That translates into around 11,500 extra deaths countrywide," says Witham. In Bedfordshire, September brought five times the average number of deaths. "It was the worst month in the whole of the 18th century." The second peak came the following January and February, with mortality up 23 per cent - an extra 8200 dead nationwide. The numbers dying remained abnormally high until May.
Things were at least as bad in France and the Low Countries, where documentary evidence suggests the haze stayed longest. Student volunteers have now scoured local records in 53 parishes in three regions of France, providing some idea of how bad things were. Burial records show that between August 1783 and May 1784 the number of deaths was 25 per cent higher than average. Between August and October 1783, it was 38 per cent up. If the same was happening across France, says Grattan, then more people died than in the deadly summer of 2003, when heat and smog killed 16,000.
Why did so many die? The unusual pattern of summer deaths in England and France suggests a common cause, which clearly implicates the volcano. Grattan blames a combination of volcanic pollution and extreme weather. If people could smell sulphur in the air, then the levels of pollution were high enough to cause illness.
But, as Witham and Oppenheimer point out, people didn't begin to die immediately as they do during the worst summer smogs today. Why not? "The effects were probably cumulative," says Grattan. The level of pollution was probably not so bad as in, say, a severe summer smog in traffic-choked Athens, but it lasted months. "People's bodies had to cope with the intense heat and bad air on top of that. Under this sort of stress even mild illness or overexertion would push the body too far and lead to heart failure," says Grattan. During the harvest, people started at dawn and worked hard all day. "Then they keeled over."
Grattan suspects most of those who died were very young or old. The London Bills of Mortality, weekly lists of burials that include the ages of the dead, suggest he could be right. "I think what we are seeing is the deaths of those who would normally have died in winter, killed off by colds or other illnesses," he says. "The 'winter cull' of the weak was simply brought forward by a few months." Winter then brought a second wave of deaths, killing those who had struggled through the summer but had nothing left to cope with one of the worst winters on record.
Today, Europe's population includes many more frail, elderly people and asthma sufferers, and many more would die if a Laki-style eruption happened now. Grattan estimates that the toll in England alone could hit 100,000. But, he warns, the atmosphere is now so polluted it wouldn't take an eruption on that scale to cause a major crisis. "People who don't live near volcanoes don't think an eruption will affect them. What happened in 1783 shows we should all be worried."

There's no "official" definition or score for this category, but these circumstances typically go hand in hand...
- High Balances: Using too much of your credit limit is bad for your FICO score. So if you currently have any cards that are maxed out or close to it, a credit card for fair credit will probably be easier to get approved for.
- Late Payments: 35% of your credit score is based on payment history. Whether your payment is 1 day late or 30 days late, it's classified as a "30 day late payment" if the issuer reports it to the credit bureaus.
- Bad Debt: Even just one bad debt or account written off will significantly bring down your credit score. It stays on your report for at least 7 years, but will have the greatest impact during the first 2-3. If this has happened to you, your credit might be classified as "fair."
- Limited Credit History: Are you relatively new to credit or have you rarely used it in the past? If so, then you probably fall under this category.

With this card, the required credit score is more lenient since it was designed for students with fair and limited credit history. Just be aware that you must be a current college student to be approved for this offer.
- Double all the cash back you've earned at the end of your first year automatically—only for new cardmembers*
- 5% cash back in categories that change each quarter like gas, restaurants, Amazon.com and more—up to the quarterly maximum when you sign up.* 1% cash back on all other purchases.
- No annual fee. No overlimit fee. No foreign transaction fee. No late fee on first late payment & paying late won't raise your APR.*
- Free FICO® Credit Score on statements, online & by mobile app.* 100% U.S.-based service any time. Text alerts when payment is due & a free mobile app to stay on top of your account.
- New Freeze ItSM on/off switch lets you prevent new purchases, cash advances & balance transfers on misplaced cards in seconds by mobile app & online.*
- Each Discover purchase is monitored. If it's unusual, you're alerted by e-mail, phone or text-and never responsible for unauthorized purchases on your Discover card
- 0% intro APR* on purchases for 6 months, then the standard variable purchase APR of 12.99% - 21.99%.
- *See rates, rewards, free FICO® Credit Score terms & other info by clicking "Apply."
Don't know where you stand? Then try this tool!
Are you unsure whether you have good credit, fair credit, or bad credit? If so, then try out this tool which will help you find credit cards that best match your credit profile. In three easy steps, you can check if you pre-qualify for a card without affecting your credit score.
Opening a new card and managing it responsibly is one of the best things you can do for your personal finances. Why? Because the difference between bad and good credit is like night and day. Once you build (or rebuild) a good credit history, new opportunities will await. This is because things like mortgages, car loans, and most reward cards are hard to get approved for with a mediocre or average credit rating. But once you break that barrier and achieve an excellent score, you will find those opportunities come more easily.

How to design a McLaren P1
TG speaks to the man who penned Woking's new hybrid hypercar
Posted: 03 Apr 2013
The secret of the P1's downforce, then, is the diffuser. Or more specifically, how much space Frank and his team could create between the floor and the top of it. The more you can make the air expand as it comes out the back, the more it'll suck the car down. Which he why he used a double diffuser, the sort that caused trouble in F1 a few years back.

Sallie Kate Richardson was determined to give everything she had for the Starkville Academy Lady Volunteers Tuesday afternoon.
It was twice that the Pillow Academy Lady Mustangs tied up the soccer match with the Lady Vols at the Starkville Sportsplex, but both times Richardson put in the goals to put her team back on top.
Richardson scored three goals in all for a hat trick and Starkville Academy won a 5-4 decision against Pillow.
"It's good to get the goals and let them count so we can win," Richardson said.

Our Legacy Spring/Summer 2012 Lookbook
If you're anything like me, then you will be a massive fan of Swedish fashion brands and their aesthetic; well put together and thought out, but effortlessly stylish. It is a hard look to pull off, and one that I am trying to master this season. Helping me in this aim is Swedish brand Our Legacy, whose spring/summer 2012 lookbook epitomises everything that such brands exude – from the shaggy haired model, to the off-duty casual shots featured.
In terms of the collection, it is exactly as you would expect from a Scandinavian label. Suiting is oversized, unstructured and relaxed, coming in greys, indigos and navy. Team a linen-mix indigo suit with a clean white tee for effortless spring style, or mix a tweed blazer with a grey trouser to add interest.
There is also some worker wear, with light-wash denim and indigo over-shirts sitting alongside utility chinos. Try wearing with an untucked white shirt, in order to create a more relaxed silhouette and to retain that thrown-together look. Sportswear also features, with grey marl sweatshirt and cut-off sweatpant combo's – something that is right on trend for spring/summer – these are definitely on my wishlist!
This brand is definitely one to watch. Their take on wearable, stylish and casual clothing is a winner – so much so that Liberty of London have bought the collection. If it's good enough for them, then it's certainly good enough for me.
All clothing is available online at ourlegacy.se, or pop into Liberty's to see it in the flesh!

I'm in Petawawa as I write this post. My son began his trip back to Afghanistan after three weeks at home on Sunday and gratefully, he arrived there safely. While we wait for his tour to end in a few months I am enjoying this week's time with my daughter-in-law Jen and my grand-son Austin. Jen will be celebrating her birthday on the same day as my son on September 6th and Austin and I are baking a little surprise for her. While I'm here we will also be doing some baking for Austin's birthday in October.
Last weekend I brought some cookies for Ella's birthday gathering with her friends at her local splash park. The cookies were inspired by a recent post of Callye's which led me to this video by Montreal Confections and the idea for the cookies for Ella and her friends.
This year Ella decided that she did not want her friends to bring any presents to her birthday and sent out her invitations requesting that in lieu of gifts, they consider making a donation to the Ottawa Wild Bird Care Center. I cannot tell you how proud of her I am for having done this. Due to her and her wonderful friends, they were able to make a donation of $135.00. $115.00 collectively from her friends and $20.00 from herself!
Colouring book cookies are a fabulous idea for take-home treats and the best part of them is that the birthday guests get to add their own creative flair to them.
Ella turned nine years old! I noticed at her party that nine year-old girls huddle.
Here they are huddling together at the splash park. Little girls almost three years old don't huddle!
Huddling together again around the candy bar set up. Is it the animated conversation or the candy keeping them close?
Never got a picture of the huddle once lunch was declared ready to serve. Too risky!
The colouring book cookies are not difficult to make and come together quickly once you have decided on your designs. I kept it fairly simple. The idea is to leave the finishing touches all up to the kids.
They certainly enjoyed completing these cookies. You'll see at the end of this post.
First step in making these cookies is outlining them in white piping icing.
When piping is dry, flood with white flood icing.
With flood icing still wet, outline with black piping icing your *colouring book* lines.
As the icing dries, the black lines will sink into the white flood icing. When completely dry, deliver to the party with a good supply of Edible Food Colouring Markers and when it is time, let the kids let loose with their creativity.
This is a great party activity for all ages! Who cares if some of them choose to sample the cookie first, as long as they are enjoying themselves!
Thank so much to Montreal Confections and to Callye for leading me to this idea. It will be used again. Of that I know for sure.

Today, the need to be connected has extended far beyond a business need. Today even the regular person is connected on the Internet and can be contacted at any time. Gadgets are designed to enable this, to give the person the easiest access to the Internet. Because of that, more and more telecom companies are coming out with plans that include data plans. In the Philippines, all telecom provider offer cellular phone plans with data packages but not every person can afford these plans. So are the portable WiFi options viable ones?
There are plans that offer portable WiFi devices for a one time price and an affordable monthly subscription. These devices can connect up to five gadgets at the same time so if the person is part of a group costs can also be split. Reviews for this have been positive so far in that it has enables a lot of people to be connected to the Internet in an affordable way.

New North American team?
"Scorpion Racing" tries for HRT revival bid
January 29, 2013
A group of Canadian and American investors are pushing to try and secure HRT's entry slot in Formula 1, but they may have to wait until 2014 before being allowed to join the grid.
Sources have revealed that negotiations to purchase the HRT company and secure an entry are at an advanced stage, and the plan for a team known as Scorpion Racing appears to have the blessing of F1 commercial boss Bernie Ecclestone.
However, the FIA believes the 12th entry slot for 2013 was closed off when it was informed at the end of last season that HRT had been liquidated. Although the governing body is aware of the plans for Scorpion Racing, it does not appear to have any intention of making a special case to allow another team in for 2013 because the entry deadline closed last November.
The investors behind Scorpion Racing are hoping to complete due diligence of the buy-out plans in the next few days. That means the viability of their plans should become clearer by the end of the week.
Scorpion is hoping to run its effort from a facility at Silverstone, using updated HRT F112 cars that will be powered by Cosworth engines and use a Williams gearbox.
reports that discussions have taken place with Ecclestone about the idea, and he indicated to the investors in a letter last weekend that if its takeover of the HRT assets was complete, then it should get an entry to F1.
"Have you bought the HRT company? Because if you have, they [the FIA] would be accepting you," Ecclestone purportedly wrote.
It is not clear if there is any mechanism for Scorpion to secure a place on the grid if it can convince the FIA that it has the funding and technical capability to compete in 2013.

Here's an interesting email from a teacher:
I'm a high school English teacher who tries to keep up on what is going on in the world of SparkNotes, since many of my students turn there before they turn to me. I'm glad to see that there's someone out there letting them know that they should edit/proofread their papers...but a simple suggestion that these desperate students seek help from their English teachers or writing tutor types (most of whom are more than happy to help) might go a long way.
This teacher is right. You'll surely get the most meaningful feedback from the person who knows your work, just finished reading the assigned novel, and tailored the assignment to your class. I'm hereby officially suggesting that you go to your profs before you come to me.
I'm curious, though; is my correspondent right that most teachers and tutors "are more than happy to help"? Those of you who write to me: why don't you turn to your teachers or tutors first? I've thought of a few possibilities:
Am I leaving anything out? What do you think?

Global Shutter Technology
Aptina's global shutter technology is a combination of innovative pixel, circuit and process design techniques that enable the capture of sharp images and improves image quality for digital still and video cameras even when objects are moving at high speed. With global shutter technology all pixels in the imaging array are exposed starting at the same time and stopping at the same time. This contrasts with the conventional rolling shutter that starts the exposure one row at a time and stops the exposure one row at a time which introduces distortion and artifacts in images of fast moving objects. Aptina's global shutter technology also has the benefit of incorporating global shutter capabilities without sacrificing low light performance. As a result, Aptina's global shutter technology improves the quality and capability of machine vision, automotive, surveillance and scanning cameras.

E-Recycling Turning into Lucrative Business
There's nothing short of a boom going on in the electronic recycling business in Wisconsin.
From Dynamic Recycling in La Crosse, Kurt Greeno says a law keeping E-waste out of landfills is part of the reason for the rapid growth of his business. Also the state requirement of manufacturers to pay for recycling of the stuff they sell in the state. He says that last part means Dynamic gets revenue from nearly everything they recycle. The exceptions: CRT glass from old TV's and monitors. A loss leader, but still making companies like his profitable and looking for workers.

Intel shows concept iPhone running on Moorestown platform
At the ongoing Intel Developer Forum the chip-giant has, perhaps unsurprisingly, been talking up some future technology.
The "Moorestown" processor was revealed, not realistically about to hit the market until 2009 or 2010, Intel described this as the chip the iPhone would have wanted.
With 45nm processor and integrating a memory controller, video encode/decode engine and graphics all on a single chip it will allow concept products like the device shown, to become a reality.
A super-slim UMPC with phone capablities, this touchscreen device, apparently a deliberate homage to Apple, could run for 24 hours between charges.
