Michigan has suspended starting safety Thomas Gordon for one game for an unspecified violation of team rules. The school made the announcement Saturday before kicking off the season at home against Central Michigan. Wolverines coach Brady Hoke says Gordon wasn't accountable to his teammates, adding the senior has learned a valuable lesson from this situation. Gordon started in every game last season and in 27 games during his career. Michigan is ranked No. 17 in The Associated Press college football poll.

BALTIMORE - SEPTEMBER 15: Head coach Brian Billick of the Baltimore Ravens talks to quarterback Chris Redman #7 on the sideline during the NFL game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 15, 2002 at Ravens Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland. The Buccaneers shut out the Ravens 25-0. (Photo By Scott Halleran/Getty Images)
With the incredibly low lows and high highs through which the Tennessee Titans have vacillated this season, talk of the playoffs at first blush seems far-fetched. NFL analyst Brian Billick ranks the 4-6 Titans at No. 24 in this weeks power rankings and they sit at 0-2 in the AFC South. But a quick glance at the math does not make the feat look insurmountable as the Titans come out of their bye week on Sunday and visit division rival Jacksonville, which is tied for the leagues worst record at 1-9. Currently, the Titans stand in ninth place in the AFC, putting them just three spots and two games out of a wildcard berth. Furthermore, they hold a victory over Pittsburgh (6-4), currently the holder of the second wildcard spot, and have a game remaining with Indianapolis (6-4), the other wildcard team which already owns a victory over the Titans with another meeting in the offing. Thats encouraging, knowing that if you start winning and you put a winning streak together, that you have ...

This plugin cleans up a number of issues, doing the work of multiple plugins, improving speed, efficiency, security, SEO, and user experience.
I lost half day to find problem. No one can back my time. But for amazing support and edited plugin for me I give u 5 stars.
All I can say is this thing actually works. I use this on a couple sites. Used gtmetrix to backcheck page speed and yahoo after the site load time improved. Both actual site speed and ratings improved. Minification plugins don't always work well but this one is solid. Use it.
Thank you for this plugin!
I'm telling you. I have tried every single minifier and caching plugin available and compatible with 4.0. Nothing happened! My site speed stayed at around 69-73/100 on Pingdom Tools and around 79-83/100 on Google PageSpeed Insights. I almost gave up looking for a plugin that could improve speed while at the same time allows me to edit my site without having to delete the cache and refresh the page a million times. Until I stumbled upon this amazing plugin today. I installed and activated it (You don't have to do anything else after activation) And...Zoooom! Wow! I got 89/100 on Pingdom and 90/100 on Google pagespeed insights.
Hi all.
I have placed this plugin on a small number of websites to see what happens to the speed of loading and the site itself. Speed, is about 25% faster and the site, nothing just the same. A very nice plugin.
This developer is someone to watch.
Full disclosure, I'm the developer. And yes, it's weird voting for your own plugin. But, what can I say? I like it. :)
It's saved us a lot of trouble and we use it on all our sites, and client sites.
Try it out and cast your own vote!

If there's an ethics complaint in the works against Sen. Al Kookesh of Angoon, then due process will take its course. But the senator's comments before the Craig City Council can't be read as anything other than no-veil-at-all threat to play ball with Sealaska, the senator's regional Native corporation, or pay the price when Craig brings its wish list to the Legislature.
Here's what he said about the council members' debate over a bill in Congress that would give Sealaska thousands of acres of timber land on Prince of Wales Island.
"I am the state senator that represents Craig. I'm not a vindictive person. I see you're going to have your 2010 capital projects on the table here tonight. And who's it going to go to? It's going to go to me. And to (Rep.) Bill Thomas, who is also a Sealaska board member. We have to be good neighbors.
"There are times you are going to need my help and Bill Thomas' help. And this is a time we need yours."
Let's apply the duck test, where the duck is the threat to make Craig pay for lack of cooperation, or failure to be "good neighbors."
Does it walk like a duck? Waddle.
Does it talk like a duck? Quack.
Whether stung by a formal ethics charge or not, Sen. Kookesh can't duck this one. His comments were a raw power play to bend the city council's will toward supporting Sealaska's land claim.
The conflict inherent in his roles as both a senator and a Sealaska executive demand that Kookesh draw a hard, bright line between the two jobs and not use his state role as a lever to get what he wants for his regional corporation -- especially to suggest that one of his constituent communities may suffer if it dares to oppose what his regional corporation wants.
Sen. Kookesh should maintain that hard, bright line by staying completely out of the Craig council's deliberation of the issue. Sealaska can make its case for support on the merits, without the senator. Alaskans have had enough with conflicts of interest -- and with abuses of power.
BOTTOM LINE: Sen. Kookesh didn't just step over the line, he jumped with both feet. He should jump back.

- John Fischle | Tranportreviews.com
Our fully licensed bonded and insured standard vehicle shipping.
Upscale Auto Transport, together with agents around the globe, can help you ship vehicles overseas as quickly, safely, and stress-free as possible.
Your vehicle will be transported door-to-door or to a designated location of your choice on a completely enclosed trailer.
Shipping Process:
The actual process of transporting vehicles is quite simple, but for whatever reason you are using an auto shipping service to transport your vehicle, you will undoubtedly want to know more about how vehicle transportation actually works. Once you have done all your comparison shopping, the shipping process begins with making your reservation with a reputable and renowned company..
Make your reservation:
We will need general information on the vehicle (manufacturer, model, etc.), the origin location, the destination, and also the individual(s) who will be there to account for the vehicle. More importantly, the specific dates you want to reserve and a payment method to make the deposit required by every company in order to book your vehicle for shipment. Payment options will vary from company to company.
Get the vehicle ready for transport:
You will need to clean out the automobile on the inside and wash the outside so the inspection reports are easier to conduct. Next, remove all personal belongings except those approved beforehand to be secured and stowed away in the trunk. Retract the antenna, or preferably, remove it if possible. Remove any GPS/navigation systems and satellite radios equipped onto the vehicle. Disable any alarm systems, and remove luggage racks if applicable to your vehicle. Make sure the auto only has between 1/8 and 1/4 tank of fuel. Always ask the specific auto carrier if there are any other requirements you need to follow to have your car ready for delivery.
Have someone meet the delivery truck at the origin to pick up the vehicle.
This person will need to be designated beforehand with the company if you are personally not available. This designated person will be there to assist the driver with the pickup, and sign off on any required paperwork.
You will also need to provide a set of keys to the driver to ensure they are able to load and unload the vehicle. These are necessary to operate the vehicle while it is not being transported and are required by all transport companies. The keys will be returned to you when the car reaches its destination and will only be used to load and unload the vehicle from the trailer.
Providing contact phone numbers for the driver and company so you can be reached throughout your vehicle's entire transportation.
We will need several different ways to contact you so you can track the progress of your vehicle throughout the entire route. This contact information is also needed in case something happens during transport that could cause delays or allow the vehicle to be delivered earlier than the planned scheduled arrival time.
Have someone meet the delivery truck at the destination location to be there when the vehicle arrives to personally inspect it and sign off on its safe delivery.
As with the person who is there for vehicle pickup, this person will assist the driver with the delivery of the vehicle and to ensure it is delivered in the same condition it was left in, and to sign off on paperwork to show the job is complete. If payment is due, this person will also provide the necessary funds at this point.
Now that you know the steps in the process of transporting vehicles, you will know exactly what to expect. Knowing what you will encounter will help you be completely aware of what is going on while your car is being moved, wherever it needs to go.

Schloss Thun
Thun's formidable castle is an unmissable delight. Climbing up to the castle entrance from the town is a lovely thing to do on a bright day. As you climb higher above the town, the views of the lake come into focus and you can see across the rooftops to beautiful, snowtopped Alpine peaks.
During my visit, the external part of the castle appeared to be undergoing significant restoration. This is unsurprising as the castle dates back to the beginning of the 12th century. I hurried past the workmen to the castle museum entrance. As you enter the castle, you walk into the spacious Knights Hall where some coats of armour can be found. You can also look out of the windows from which you can see for miles around. For the best views, however, you should take the spiral staircase (very narrow!) to the top floor of the castle where you can gain entry to one of the four castle towers. From here, the city of Thun and its Alpine backdrop spread out in front of you and it's an ideal place from which to take panoramic photos of the area.
The Schlossmuseum itself is worth exploring. It is spread over five storeys and details the history of the building and the town. There are some very ornate old tapestries to see and some exhibits such as the mask of the Fulehung, a jester character celebrated during Thun's folk festival that is held every September. I probably spent about an hour in the castle overall.
Entry to the castle and museum is free with a Swiss Pass, otherwise adult admission is 8 CHF. It is open February-March daily 1-4 pm, April-October daily 10am–5 pm and November-January only on Sundays 1–4 pm.

Ride a steam train for Kids in Schadaupark
From Spring to fall on every second Sunday you can ride a steam train in the Schadaupark (nice castle as well to visit, nice little church right next to it, good play ground for kids and the panorama picture is in the park as well, not to mention the good view from the park over the lake to the mountains). Runs normally from 10:00 to 17:00. One ride costs SFR. 2.--. Riding time about 5 minutes around the park.

There are a few ways to enjoy the beautiful Lake, Boat being one of them, the other is to drive the whole way around the Lake, like we did. We started from our B&B in Thun, and followed the Thunstrasse along to Spiez.
It has wonderful scenery, and most of the time, if possible, we kept to the road closest to the Lake, not on the main highway. There were many lovely little village's and some bigger one's like Spiez, where there is a Castle. You can't beat the view!
The snow capped Mountain's overlooking the lake were so special, the only problem was parking the car, so I had to be content with photo's through the car window. You will see the problem by my photo's!
We didn't have time to stop at the Village's, but we sure did enjoy passing through them, and the incredible view's all the way around this Lake.

We came across this impressive looking building on our way out of Thun.
What first caught my attention, was the carved wooden figure of "Fulehung."
We stopped for a photo, then I happened to look at the building, which stated it was a School and Kindergarten and Turnehalle.
The Doors were very "different" having Insect's, Frog's and Lizard's of different kinds on them. They looked to be quite old. The main entrance had the same, plus beautiful carvings.

While we were in Schadau Park, we visited the ....
"The oldest Rotunda in the World which was the Thun Panorama.
It is a round, enclosed building in which we walked into, and then onto a raised platform that overlooked the panorama. The "panorama" is a 200 year old painting of Thun and the surrounding Alps, and is believed to be the
"the oldest surviving work of this kind.
The Artist sketched this panorama while sitting on his roof top!
We slowly walked around this 360degree painting taking in the details showing the lives of people in 1808 in the town of Thun. It was fascinating, and we walked around several times, as we missed little interesting pieces the 1st time.
The raised platform is to give the same experience as the painter who looked down onto the town of Thun, what a clever idea!
I have used the photo from the card they give you at the end.
28 April – 30 October 2011, Thuesday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Closed on Mondays
During the winter season the Thun-Panorama is closed.

On Mother's Day the Thun-Panorama is free of charge for all mothers.
It is in need of restoration, so I hope they find the money to restore, as it would be a shame to see it lost like many other "panorama's" of the World!

What a gorgeous looking Church, Scherzligen was. Painted white, and with a tall tower, and located in the lawned Schadau Park, I knew I had to check this one out.
It dates back to 762, but this isn't the Church that is there now. It is thought to be rebuilt in the 12th century. It has a very high Tower which is now attached to the Church and not free standing any more.
I was able to go inside and see the many paintings from the 14th and 15th centuries. This Church was an important place of pilgrimage until the Reformation in 1528. Excellent frescoes!
It is quite often used now for classical concerts.

It was a pity it was a wet day for our visit to Schadau Park.
Schadau Park, and first we had to find a parking area. No problem, we found one very close to Scherzligen Church. It was buy a ticket and put in your windscreen, which is what we did, and then went into the large, lawned Park.
The Park was very well kept, and has some points of interest which I will tell about in other tips.
We saw many hiking trails and a woodland walk, plus Rose's and Rhododendron's in the garden area of the park.
In Spring, lots of bulb's come to life, thousands of crocuses, snowdrops and anemones is what I read. There were lots of Tree's that I imagine would be beautiful in Autumn when the leaves coloured. In front of the Castle, there were lake views, Duck's and White Swan's, and not a very good view on a wet day. You would see a long way on a fine day, as far as the Alps.
For the children, there is a miniature Train that runs on a 940 metre track, the trip takes about 10mins. When two Trains are operating, then departures are every 10 minutes, only one train is in use, the departures every 20 minutes.
Timetable to December 2011
Season opening on 02.04.2011, 10-5pm
The steam train travels at Vaporama Schadau park two weekends a month from April to October and on special holidays.

While walking in Schadau Park by Lake Thun, we came across the beautiful Schadau Castle.
Wow!, this Castle looked like ones you see in fairytales!
It was built between 1846 and 1854 for a Neuchatel banker. What a position he chose for his Castle, as it sits on the southbank of the River Aare, has water views and beautiful Rose Gardens.
The brick work is rather interesting, as are the many Turret's!
These days, it is home to the Swiss Gastronomy Museum, a restaurant and the Oberland West District Registry Office. Wouldn't this be a nice place to get married in!

STADT KIRCHE [church]
Located by the Thun Castle is the Church.
It had a lovely tall Tower which we could view from miles around. The tower dates from around 1330.
We had hoped to go inside the Church, but it was closed, so we had to be content looking at the very old frescoes dating to about 1430 on the outside. The Church is not as old as other parts as it was only built in 1738. The walls were incredibly thick!

The Thun Castle historic museum was just the place for a wet day. The Museum took us back through 4000 years of history in Thun, over four floor's of the Castle.
No elevator, only stairs to climb!
In the tower, is the large Knights Hall, with a medieval fire hearth and chimney, some Knight's armour and nothing else as it is used for event's. We saw furniture and paintings, antique toys and dolls, lots of beautiful ceramic's, including Old Heimberg pottery and some old graffiti a Prisoner had done. They had uniforms and weaponry of the local regiment of the Swiss Confederation Army, and mannequin's in the dresses of the era's. There was heaps to see, as well as the views from the Turret's.
We really enjoyed our time here!
I have put more photo's in a travelogue on what you can expect to see.
The museum at Thun Castle is open:

Where ever we were in Thun, we could see the impressive Thun Castle!
It was built in 1190 by Duke Berchtold V of Zahringen, then the Kyburgs took over in 1218 expanding it by today's upper floor. The Castle was never used as a residence.
As the day was wet, it was a chance to visit the inside of the Castle, and see the Museum, dungeon, the Castle Tower, the Knight's Hall and more. The views from here would be fabulous on a fine sunny day, not so much the day we were there because of fog and rain. The best views are from the corner tower where the view is over the Alps, Lake and Thun.
The museum at Thun Castle is open:
Feb - March daily 1- 4 pm
April - October daily 10 am – 5 pm
November - January Sun 1 – 4 pm

The historic Chutziturm Tower, which is in the right on my photo, was built around 1250. From 1384 until the fall of Old Bern in 1798, the tower was used for many purposes, one of them was as a Prison.
It was built at the foot of the Schlossberg and was originally open on the city side.
Today, it is rented out for event's in Thun.

There is only one Castle gate remaining today, and that is the one in my photo named the "Burgtor."
The Gate dates back to the 13th century and is connected to the Castle Walls. The roof is newer, as it replaced the old one in 1786.
The actual gate was removed in the 19th century, although you can see where the lock was, even today!
Look for a walled-in tracery window in the city wall above the Burgtor which is believed to belonged to the former ossuary chapel. I didn't see it, so I guess it is there!
The Burgtor is located on the Schlossberg (castle hill), in the Schlossbergstrasse, and it was through here that we walked uphill and into the Castle grounds.

Another historic building is the Kornhaus, probably built in 1521 and rebuilt in 1762 for the Thun Hospital Office.
Parts of the Kornhaus were built in half-timbered style with a large hipped roof and a porch was added in 1980.

Scattered around Thun is many historic buildings.
This is one I came across.
The Knabenschützenhaus was built for the boy crossbow archers in 1583, and was renovated to its original form in 1983. The boy Archer's can be traced back to the 16th century in Thun. Only boys were allowed to shoot crossbows, and that is why it is called the "Boy's shooting Lodge." Girl's have been allowed in since 1960.
Accross the street, is the shooting range, which is used throughout the summer for the summer shooting programme of the cadets.
It is the boys' clubhouse, built in 1583 for the boys Crossbowmen.
In 1983, it was restored to how it is now. No girls were allowed until 1960.

Dear Association Member,
As you may have already heard, there are indications that the U.S. DOT will be formally implementing its crossborder trucking pilot program with Mexico as early as next Thursday, September 6. At this point, no one beyond the White House, top brass at the DOT and their friends in the Mexican government knows exactly when this will happen or how they will try to justify their actions. The DOT knows that they are going against the will of the American people and Congress as well as venturing into blatantly illegal territory. As such, we again find ourselves in the midst of much speculation and struggling to separate fact from fiction as our own government has not yet provided any formal notices or official statements to clue the public into their timing or specific intentions.
What we do know is that yesterday an official from the U.S. Department of Justice tipped off a lawyer that DOT was planning to start the pilot program on September 1 (the target date has apparently now been pushed back to September 6). This lawyer is associated with the coalition of organizations that we have been leading in opposition of opening the border to Mexico-domiciled trucks. Some of the members of that coalition opted to file an emergency injunction to stop the pilot program though they did not yet have documentation to directly prove DOT's intentions. Though our name is not on that legal action, it is a move we certainly support.
We also know that the Mexican government published a notice today indicating that they would be moving forward with their part of the pilot program (allowing U.S. carriers to go south) as early as tomorrow. This is consistent with statements that the Mexican government has been making for the past few months despite the efforts that have been made north of the border by the U.S. Congress to put the brakes on the pilot program and ultimately strip all funding for it.
Rest assured that OOIDA is doing everything that we possibly can to stop the DOT. We are fighting a unique and historic battle in that we and our coalition have won several significant victories on Capitol Hill and yet the Administration continues to roll forward in defiance of Congress, the American people and the laws of our land. Instead of implementing and abiding by the laws that have been written by Congress, the executive branch of our government is clearly ignoring their Constitutional responsibilities and limitations.
As soon as DOT moves in an official fashion to start the pilot program by issuing a public notice or formal statement, OOIDA will be filing a legal challenge to put an immediate stop to their efforts. As you may know, many strong and valid efforts in the courts have been tossed out on technicalities and procedural missteps. We do not want to miss out on an opportunity to stop the crossborder program by jumping the gun with a less than solid legal challenge.
OOIDA will also continue our efforts on Capitol Hill to reign in the DOT. In addition to what we have been able to achieve there already we have initiated other legislative efforts. I ask that as a member of OOIDA and as a citizen of the United States, you also do all that you can to help put a stop to the crossborder program.
Please call and fax your elected representatives in Washington, especially your U.S. Senators. They need to hear from you as soon as possible and continue to hear from you until they are truly working on your behalf. I also ask that you encourage your family, friends and acquaintances to contact their lawmakers. Operators at the U.S. Capitol Switchboard (202- 224-3121) can connect you to the offices of your elected officials. If you are not sure who your Representative or Senators are, the operators will ask for your zip code and put you through to their offices. You are also welcome to call the Association at 800-444-5791, we will be happy to look up telephone and fax numbers for you.
Please know that your Association is working hard on your behalf and please do what you can to help. I do not have to tell you what is riding on our efforts to stop DOT or what the short and long term implications are if we fail.
With sincere appreciation,
Jim Johnston, President
1 NW OOIDA Drive • PO Box 1000 • Grain Valley, Missouri 64029 • Tel: (816) 229-5791 • Fax: (816) 427-4468

Microsoft Confirms Disconnecting Kinect Gives Devs 10% More GPU Horsepower 174 174
from the remove-airbags-install-rollcage dept.
It has been known for months that this change was coming. The xbox one currently reserves about 10% of GPU power for the Kinect even it is not used by the game. The only thing that is changing is that the game developer will be able to indicate if they are using the Kinect or not. If not they will be able to use those additional gpu resources for whatever they want. So this has nothing to do with making the Kinect optional. Even people with a Kinect will get this performance boost in games that don't use the Kinect.
I think it's more "if you compile your game without Kinect, you will have access to that processing slice and Kinect won't". Whether the hardware is physically there or not is irrelevant to the reserved processor time.
The universe is like a safe to which there is a combination -- but the combination is locked up in the safe. -- Peter DeVries

Can margarine lower cholesterol?
Look in any grocery store and you can find margarines that claim to provide cholesterol-lowering benefits. Do these products really work and how do these foods fit into a healthful eating plan?
Research shows margarines made from two different phytochemicals can reduce LDL, also know as "bad cholesterol." The plant compounds that interfere with the absorption of cholesterol are plant sterols and stanols. These compounds are used in Food and Drug Administration-approved margarines and have been found to help lower the LDL cholesterol, without lowering HDL, the "good cholesterol."
Adding one of these margarines to your eating plan might be worth the extra calories, but margarines alone can't lower cholesterol. That starts with an overall diet that is low in total fat, especially saturated fat.
Your aging eyes
As more Americans head toward retirement and beyond, scientists expect the number of people with age-related eye problems to rise dramatically. You can't prevent all age-related changes to your eyes. But you can take steps to protect your vision and reduce your risk for serious eye disease in the future. Effective treatments are now available for many disorders that may lead to blindness or visual impairment. You can also learn how to make the most of the vision you have.
Protect Your Vision
* Have a comprehensive eye exam each year after age 50
* Stop smoking
* Eat a diet rich in green, leafy vegetables and fish
* Exercise
* Maintain normal blood pressure
* Control diabetes if you have it
* Wear sunglasses and a brimmed hat any time you're outside in bright sunshine
* Wear protective eyewear when playing sports or doing work around the house that may cause eye injury
Hands-on skill for caregivers
When you're a caregiver, finding time to take care of your own physical needs is difficult enough, but taking care of the physical needs of someone else is even more challenging. Assisting someone else to dress, bathe, sit or stand when they are upset, agitated or combative-often the case when caring for someone with a brain disorder such as Alzheimer's disease - requires special strategies. The following five techniques can make taking care of a loved one's physical needs easier.

THE LYNNE SHOW Podcast Now Available
Hosted by psychotherapist and author Lynne Bernfield, The Lynne Show is about discovering aspects of ourselves which we have had to deny. In it she talks about why this happens and what we can do to recover these denied parts. In her interview series called Anatomy of an Artist she interviews people who make their living or their life with their art.
2-12-13 The Lynne Show is about courageously living the life you meant to live and Jay Patterson is a role model for it. Although he says "I can never remember wanting to be anything other than an actor" as a child he suffered from a "horrible stutter" and was afraid to try. In his junior year in high school The Head of the drama dept encouraged him to audition for a school play; he did and was in 5 plays in his senior year. He "never looked back." Listen to his interesting and sometimes terribly funny stories, hear the incredible way he went from being a bar tender at a hotel to Starring in K-2, a two character play on Broadway, and come see this talented actor in the Asolo Repertory Theater production of Glengarry Glen Ross, in a role he understudied on Broadway and "always wanted to play."
2-19-13 Apparently Brian Sills has The Muppets to thank for his career in theater. Inspired by them, Brian began creating puppet shows for friends, family and classmates by the time he was 6. Ironically Brian's first role in a national touring company was in The Lion King, where his knowledge of puppetry came in handy. Like so many others Brian credits his teachers with "encouraging his creativity" and the local Community Theater for "welcoming and teaching him." But he also talks about the potentially devastating effect an arrogant voice teacher might have had on his and other's creativity. Fortunately this teacher was fired before he could damage Brian's and other student's vocal talent. Hear a sample of what we might have missed and listen to this delightful man talk about the joys and struggles of making a
career in theater. Also hear Sharon Leslies' review of "The Heidi Chronicles" currently running at the Asolo Repertory Theater in which Brian shines as part of the ensemble company.
2-26-13 Even in the 2nd grade Jeff Plunkett didn't want just to read the story in class - he wanted to act it. To deal with his chronic ear infections Jeff's doctor prescribed voice lessons and from the time he was 13 he not only studied voice but had small roles in his voice teachers Opera Company. Although majoring in biology/psychology in college (thinking he might become a doctor), Jeff took every acting role he could and by the time he graduated knew that acting, not medicine was his path. Jeff says that he was "graced' but I think it
is we that are graced by being able to watch this wonderful actor become the role he is playing. Hurry out to see Jeff's outstanding performance as the real life Joseph Alsop in the FST production of "The Columnist" and listen to this thoughtful, intelligent man talk about character he is playing, and the world he inhabited.

By Sarah Shearman, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Monday, 08 August 2011 04:12PM
'The Incredible' range features three new flavours – honeycomb choc swirl, jam doughnut and sticky toffee pudding.
For each flavour the brand has designed a character and their packaging directs consumers to its Facebook page to find out more about them.
The campaign will start with a facial recognition game on the Frijj The Incredible website called You LOL you Lose, created by Iris.
Players are challenged to keep a straight face while watching amusing YouTube videos, and the facial recognition technology detects when they smile.
As part of the push in September the brand will also launch a free Pet Translator iPhone app. Outdoor ads, created by Grey London, will direct consumers to its Facebook page.
UM London handled the social media activity for the campaign.

Originally written on Fox Sports Southwest | Last updated 2/27/12
WACO, Texas (AP) -- Robert Griffin was able to impress teams and scouts without throwing a pass at the NFL combine. There was his official time of 4.41 seconds in the 40-yard dash, fastest among quarterbacks, and the Heisman Trophy winner believes he ran even faster. And there were interviews with at least eight teams, including the Indianapolis Colts, who have the No. 1 draft pick. "I think I was able to go out there and affirm to the scouts how athletic I am, or impress them even more," Griffin said Monday. "I was able to show people that I am as advertised. I'm a good guy, I like to make people laugh. I can't remember a meeting I didn't go in and we weren't laughing. "You go there and do what you're supposed to do, create a buzz for yourself," he said. Maybe Griffin gave the Colts more to consider amid consistent speculation that they will use the top pick April 26 on Stanford's Andrew Luck, the Heisman runner-up. If nothing else, RG3 likely created even more of a premium fo...

The ink hasn't even dried on Microsoft's acquisition of Skype, but the Redmond based software giant appears to be working diligently in the background to push the VOIP service to even more platforms. Facebook has scheduled an invitation only even for July 6th , and the rumor mill seems pretty certain Mark Zuckerberg will announce a browser based version of Skype, which integrates with your Facebook friends list.
Given how close Microsoft and Facebook have been in recent years, it wouldn't surprise us one bit if this turned out to be true. Video chat would be a pretty natural extension of their constantly evolving communication and messaging strategy, and the Skype brand would lend an air of credibility to the announcement. Skype stands to benefit from the already established social graph for each user, and Facebook gains a stable and mature video codec to build upon.
We won't know for sure until next week, but is video chatting a Facebook feature you can see yourself using? Let's just hope they think to include a "I'm not wearing any pants button", so we can head off any potentially awkward incoming call requests before they happen.

Sounds like a naughty proposal, but Burleigh Brewing is taking it very seriously! Fermenting in the tank right now, 'Fanny Gertrude Bickie Beer' will be ready for bottling (and drinking!) in late May, and to be supped at a TetraMedia event during the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show.
Fanny Gertrude - immortalised in boutique beer.
As Peta Fielding, CEO at Burleigh Brewing explains: 'We have five core beers in our range and a couple of times a year we let the brew team go a bit crazy in what we call our 'Bit on the Side Department'and come up with a new beer, for release in only a limited quantity in collectable bottles. The first two in this series were 'My Wife's Bitter', followed by 'Black Giraffe'. And now we're about to release 'Fanny Gertrude's Bickie Beer'!'
The curious name was inspired by Peta's Grandma's Anzac bickies. 'And my Grandma's name really was Fanny Gertrude!'
The beer is described as 'a smooth, creamy ale, the colour of a well-baked Anzac bickie, containing oats and organic coconut - supported by a blend of three specialty 'biscuit' malts to provide the beautiful bickie colour and complement the specialty bickie ingredients'.
FGBB Preparing the Coconut Additions
The brewers have used a 100% pure vanilla addition in the brew, to give it that 'fresh baked bickie' flavour and as many ingredients as possible are sourced locally.
If your mouth is watering, get yourself along to Burleigh Brewing's 'Tanks, Tales and Tasting', Saturday 7 May, from 2pm for an hour. You'll get expert insight into boutique beer brewing, sampling of four Burleigh Beers and a glass with logo to take home. The bar stays open until 4pm so you can stay on and soak up the atmosphere.
Tap Room happenings take place the first Friday of every month, with a local band and German sausage BBQ. Best of all, profits go to a local charity or community group. If a tour takes your fancy, you can savour the ins and outs of production on the first Saturday of every month.
For up to date info on Tap Room and Brewery Door opening hours, check out the website at www.burleighbrewing.com. Burleigh Brewing, 17A Ern Harley Drive, Burleigh Heads, Tel: (07) 5593 6000.

Former All-Star pitcher Mark "the Bird" Fidrych was found dead Monday in an apparent accident at his farm. He was 54.
Worcester County district attorney Joseph D. Early Jr. saids a family friend found Fidrych about 2:30 p.m. Monday beneath a dump truck at his Northborough, Mass., farm. He appeared to be working on the truck, Early said.
The colorful right-hander was the American League rookie of the year in 1976 when he went 19-9 with a 2.34 ERA. He spent all five of his major league seasons with the Detroit Tigers, compiling a 29-19 record and a 3.10 ERA.

When people think of rape, they might think of a stranger jumping out of a shadowy place and sexually attacking someone. But it's not only strangers who rape. In fact, about half of all people who are raped know the person who attacked them. Girls and women are most often raped, but guys also can be raped.
Most friendships, acquaintances, and dates never lead to violence, of course. But, sadly, sometimes it happens. When forced sex occurs between two people who already know each other, it is known as date rape or acquaintance rape.
Even if the two people know each other well, and even if they were intimate or had sex before, no one has the right to force a sexual act on another person against his or her will.
Although it involves forced sex, rape is not about sex or passion. Rape has nothing to do with love. Rape is an act of aggression and violence.
You may hear some people say that those who have been raped were somehow "asking for it" because of the clothes they wore or the way they acted. That's wrong: The person who is raped is not to blame. Rape is always the fault of the rapist. And that's also the case when two people are dating — or even in an intimate relationship. One person never owes the other person sex. If sex is forced against someone's will, that's rape.
Healthy relationships involve respect — including respect for the feelings of others. Someone who really cares about you will respect your wishes and not force or pressure you to have sex.
Alcohol is often involved in date rapes. Drinking can loosen inhibitions, dull common sense, and — for some people — allow aggressive tendencies to surface.
Drugs may also play a role. You may have heard about "date rape" drugs like rohypnol ("roofies"), gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), and ketamine. Drugs like these can easily be mixed in drinks to make a person black out and forget things that happen. Both girls and guys who have been given these drugs report feeling paralyzed, having blurred vision, and lack of memory.
Mixing these drugs with alcohol is highly dangerous and can kill.
The best defense against date rape is to try to prevent it whenever possible. Here are some things both girls and guys can do:
Unfortunately, even if someone takes every precaution, date rape can still happen. If you're raped, here are some things that you can do:
Don't be afraid to ask questions and get information. You'll have lots of questions as you go through the process — such as whether to report the rape, who to tell, and the kinds of reactions you may get from others.
Rape isn't just physically damaging — it can be emotionally traumatic as well. It may be hard to think or talk about something as personal as being raped by someone you know. But talking with a trained rape crisis counselor or other mental health professional can give you the right emotional attention, care, and support to begin the healing process. Working things through can help prevent lingering problems later on.
