Rowland Winter: Cambridge showed character to earn derby delight against Shelford
Posted: April 14, 2014|
Rowland Winter hailed Cambridge's strength of character after they took the derby honours with a 13-5 triumph over Shelford in National League 2S.
There was little to choose between the teams until nine minutes from time when Jack Green dotted down with the game-clinching score.
It was not much of a spectacle for the 1,886 who packed into the Davey Field, but director of rugby Winter was delighted to see his side answer those who questioned their desire after being beaten at home by Shelford earlier in the season.
"One of the biggest things last time was people said how much did we want it?" said Winter.
"We've rocked up here with 1,800 people who were thinking we haven't got the character.
"Everyone knows we're the more skilfull side, but we added the character and those comments last time hurt the boys.
"We were confident we'd do it. We always had the skills, but the character came out in abundance."
Jim Wigglesworth had kicked the visitors into an early lead, but Shelford powered their way in front on 22 minutes when Redmond Newberry was driven over from a line-out.
Wigglesworth's second penalty saw Cambridge edge ahead and they held onto that one point lead thanks to some strong defence, before capitalising on two penalties conceded by Shelford to set Green up for his try.
Winter lauded the efforts of Martin Wolfenden, Will Allard, Jamal Ford-Robinson and Ollie Marriott, as well as praising Ross Kevan's calming influence after he came on as a replacement.
"All credit to Shelford because it was a massive arm wrestle all day and we just edged it," said Winter. "The scrum was immense, the line-out has got a bit of work to do, but that was more of our own doing.
"There was a lot of talk, we tried to wind things up in the week as much as possible to get the crowd down here, but at the end of the day it was down to a rugby ball and 30 players.
"We edged the arm wrestle, we took them on at their own game and beat them."

From a Stevie Wonder song:Strawberry shortcake,Cream on top.Tell me the nameOf your sweetheart:A-B-C-D-E-F-G…You say the letters of the alphabet until the jumper messes up. Whatever letter you end on is the first letter of the name of the jumper's "sweetheart." In the Stevie Wonder song, the jumper ends on "P", and the little girls in the background start calling out, "Paul! Oooh, Paul!"

Oooh !Oooh ! I have more than one.(Swampwitch waves hands franctically in air until she is almost airborne…) How many can I share? Here's just one:Gypsy, Gypsy please tell meWhat my fortune's going to beRich-man, Poor-man, Beggar-man, Thief, Doctor, Law-yer, In-di-an Chief, Tink-er, Tail-or, Cow-boy, Sail-or.Continue repeating until jumper misses and that is who you will marry. (For really good jumpers, rope throwers can make the jumper miss on purpose if jumper jumps too long.)

The Cinderella rhyme is the only one I remember, but these photos bring back memories. We lived in Meridian, MS from the time I was 8 until about 10. For a while I was the only white girl in my class. Recess was particularly difficult for me since I could never learn to do double Dutch. Shoot, I could barely jump with one rope. The other girls were so patient with me, but they finally had to admit the stereotype must be true: White folks have no rhythm and white girls really can't jump. Unwilling to leave me out completely, they came up with an activity in which I could participate. Soon I was the main attraction at recess with everyone wanting to plait my hair. They were fascinated with how different it was from their own, and I loved all the new styles. My status was slightly threatened when a new white girl joined our class. Yolanda had a short boy cut, though, and it just wasn't as much fun. Lucky for her she could jump–sort of.

Libby On Sunday, February 25 at 5:23 pm
I know I'm late but I just found this website and I love it! Jumping rope was my favorite thing when I was a kid.
Not last night but the night before,
28 robbers came knocking on my door.
As I ran out, they ran in,
Asked them what they wanted and this is what they said:
Spanish dancer turn around,
Spanish dancer touch the ground,
Spanish dancer do the splits,
Spanish dancer get out of town quick!
And you do the actions that are stated: run out, run in, touch the ground, etc.
It's funny that I was just thinking about jump rope songs the other day and it's been at least 45 years since I've jumped rope! I wonder where this song came from and who the Spanish dancer was?

Well, my Wii has been unable to play any discs for the past 6 months, so I put it away. I've always thought of using Homebrew, but have never found a reliable source. So now I'm here. :P
The major issue is that my Wii can not read discs, so I can't use Twilight Hack or others of the sort. Is there any way I can get Homebrew via a Usb Device? If so, please tell me!

Over the past 3 years, John Carroll has truly helped mold me into the person I am today and it challenges me to be better each day. From the moment I stepped on campus I knew that John Carroll was the place for me because it made me feel at home.
I chose JCU because of its foundation in Jesuit education, the beautiful campus and because I knew a small school environment would give me the best tools to succeed. Throughout my time here I have played on the club hockey team, spent a semester studying in London, and have gained professional work experience through an internship.
These are just a few of the reasons that I love John Carroll! I enjoy working as a tour guide to share my experiences with prospective students and their families, so feel free to ask me any questions you may have about JCU!

Task selection is critical for the demonstration of reciprocal patterns of sex differences in hand/arm motor control and ear/far visual processingEvolutionary Psychology 6(2): 342-364
Women have been reported to perform better with hand rather than arm movements (Sanders and Walsh, 2007) and with visual stimuli in near rather than far space (Sanders, Sinclair and Walsh, 2007). Men performed better with the arm and in far space. These reciprocal patterns of sex differences appear as Muscle*Sex and Space*Sex interactions. We investigated these claims using target cancellation tasks in which task difficulty was manipulated by varying target size or the number of distracters. In Study 1 we did not find the Muscle*Sex or the Space*Sex interaction. We argue that ballistic movement was too simple to reveal the Muscle*Sex interaction. However, a trend for the Space*Sex interaction suggested task difficulty was set too high. Study 2 introduced easier levels of difficulty and the overall Space*Sex interaction narrowly failed to reach significance (p = 0.051). In Study 3 the Space*Sex interaction was significant (p = 0.001). A review of the present, and four previously published, studies indicates that task selection is critical if the Space*Sex interaction and its associated reciprocal within-sex differences are to be demonstrated without the obscuring effects of Space and Difficulty. These sex differences are compatible with predictions from the hunter-gatherer hypothesis. Implications for two-visual-system-models are considered.
Sex differences, hand/arm motor control, near/far visual processing, tool use, hunter-gatherer hypothesis, two visual systems.

American Forces Press Service
ARLINGTON, Va., April 13, 2010 The Department of Defense Education Activity's educational partnership has launched an interactive educational resource for military families, military leaders and school leaders.
The resource, "Students at the Center," provides information on important policies, procedures, and best practices that are critical to supporting the needs of military families' education.
"Our military families have high expectations and unique needs regarding the education of their children, and we saw a need to develop a tool to assist everyone who has a stake in the educational process," said Kathy Facon, chief of the educational partnership.
Available online at http://www.militaryk12partners.dodea.edu, the guide offers information focused on specific stakeholder needs, Facon said.
"This guide provides military parents, military leaders and school leaders information on relevant educational issues affecting each group," she explained. "When local education agencies, military commands and DoDEA partner to share information and resources, children benefit."
For educators serving children from military families in a public school system, the guide offers information on the different military service branches, ranks, and protocols. It outlines current Defense Department initiatives to support schools and the Education Department's impact aid program. It also offers insights regarding the issues military families face, including frequent transitions and parents deploying.
For families, the guide offers information on navigating the U.S. education system, choosing a school and being an effective advocate for a child.
Military leaders visiting "Students at the Center" will find suggestions on supporting military families, forming and strengthening installation-school partnerships and ways to enhance communication between local education activities, the military services and families.
"The educational partnership is dedicated to every military child's right to a quality education regardless of their location or how often their family moves," Facon said. "We know that there are a lot of great resources already available regarding education issues for military families, but we wanted to develop a tool that would bring those resources together in one place."
The guide will be available in May and can be ordered in print format and on CD through the Military OneSource Web site.

|Lyme disease is an infectious disease transmitted by tick bite, most commonly the deer tick. Particularly during the warm months many pets are bitten by ticks carrying this disease. The disease is most commonly seen in the northeast and mid sections of the country, but has been documented in many other states as well.
Lyme disease is most commonly seen in dogs, as cats seem to be more resistant to the organism. Most pets that are naturally exposed to Lyme disease never develop any symptoms or get sick. Therefore if a pet "tests positive" for Lyme disease, it does not necessarily mean that a pet is sick or infected, or needs treatment.
Many pets will get over the disease on their own, but can remain positive on a blood test for months or years. Many veterinarians have a simple blood test in the office that can tell an animal guardian within minutes if a pet has been exposed to Lyme disease. Other laboratory tests such as a western blot or C6 blood test can be done but are rarely needed in clinical practice in my experience.
However, only if a pet is symptomatic should antibiotic therapy be instituted. Signs and symptoms of Lyme disease in dogs can include:
- Lethargy
- Swollen glands
- Fever
- Limping (which can be a shifting lameness in different legs)
- And occasionally kidney and heart/nervous system complications
Certainly families of Labrador and Golden Retrievers appear to be more genetically predisposed to the kidney form of Lyme disease than other breeds. Treatment usually consists of 3 to 6 weeks of antibiotic therapy, most commonly Doxycycline, which also can treat other hidden tick-borne diseases. There are vaccinations available for Lyme disease, however, in my opinion and experience the vaccinations may not be effective and I am concerned about long term autoimmune problems. The best prevention against Lyme disease is using year-round flea and tick control, such as topical Frontline Plus or Advantix II.

GCA 2008 is definitely bigger and better than GCA 2007, and the show floor layout and especially the lightings inside the exhibition hall was so much improved over the poor lighting that was encountered in the same hall at WCG 2008. Join me as I walked through the show floor in the videos below.

Improving the railroad for freight and passenger service drives the selection of projects for NCRR's Capital Investment Program. The strength of the state's rail transportation infrastructure depends on the quality of rail, the width and height of bridges, the technology in signaling equipment and the capacity of the corridor to serve increasing demands for more trains. NCRR works with the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Norfolk Southern Railway and the communities through which it extends to select those projects that will have the most beneficial impact on the state's economy.

Elon University Pedestrian Underpass
The pedestrian underpass at Elon University is intended as a model project. As the university's facilities have grown through the years, the college expanded on the south side of the North Carolina Railroad corridor. An underpass, along with fences and signage to encourage its use, will provide a safe means of crossing the railroad for the numerous pedestrians within the University community and the Town of Elon.
Cost: $2.5 million (NCRR – $1 million; Elon University $1.5 million)
Status: Completed

Restricted Bridge-Clayton
Upgrading this structure eliminates speed restrictions and improves clearance on Highway 70 Business. The previous bridge had been damaged by trucks striking its girders. This bridge span was replaced in a single day, February 6, 2008!
Cost: $889,611
Status: Completed

NC 54 Bridge-Research Triangle Park
A narrow, outdated bridge was replaced with a double-track structure that will accommodate regional transit needs, increase rail capacity, improve vehicular traffic flow and eliminate substandard clearance. NCRR's portion of the project is complete, and on budget.
Cost: $5,460,726
Status: Completed
Restricted Bridge-near Burlington
The existing bridge over Highway 87 is restricted for double-stack loads.
Cost: $39,118
Status: Completed
Bridge Trestle-Batchelder Creek Craven County
A single-track wooden trestle in Craven County needs replacement to accommodate today's wider, faster, heavier rail cars and to improve access to the port.
Cost: $372,237
Status: Completed
Neuse River Bridge-Johnston County
This 80-year old bridge requires repair and renovations. Its 306-foot through truss span is height restricted. Work will improve clearance.
Cost: $39,118
Status: Completed
Bridge and Grade Separation-Charlotte
Both vehicular and train traffic would flow more smoothly with improvements to the busy Sugar Creek Road area in Charlotte. With heavy freight and passenger train service, this part of the line is under evaluation. The project would be done jointly with other partners.
Cost: Under evaluation
Status: Preliminary Engineering 2007-2008
Eight Bridge Replacements in Lenoir and Craven Counties
This project will replace single track trestle bridges over creeks in Lenoir and Craven County to address settling piers and weight requirements.
Cost: $3,000,000 (50/50 cost share with Norfolk Southern)

Take a virtual journey to the bustling streets of New York in Bert Monroy: The Making of Times Square. Digital painter Bert Monroy reveals how he created the minute details that build the impressive 108,000 x 21,600 pixels, 25-feet wide photorealistic portrait of this iconic intersection.
In this installment, The Tools, Bert demonstrates how he uses the brushes, filters, and textures in Photoshop to create everything from the trees in Central Park to the billboards on Broadway, and shares his techniques for keeping his project organized with layers and groups. He also touches on the importance of channels and channel calculations, and how the evolution of the tools in Photoshop from CS3 to CS5 shaped his work.
Layers make it really easy to go in there and make multiples of something and make them look different. What am I talking about? Well, let's go look at an example right up here. The lights that light up the facades of the TOYS R US building. We see all these different lights and we look at them and they're all at different angles and so on. We get in real close and we see that they are, in fact, different. See that the wires are going different directions. Look at the dirt on the front of each one; they all are different. They have little dirt on the sides. Every individual light is different from its neighbor.
Different angles, and so on. And they're also getting smaller as they get further away. Way down to the end there. Those are ones that are real close to us which are quite large. So let's go look at that. What happened is that I created a single light. I only created one. I didn't have to create 22 of them for that side, but I just created one. And we're going to get in close. We see that it's got a lot of details, a lot of stuff going on, but you see that very clean except for dirt in the front, little bolts and stuff little shadows, but everything.
Absolutely everything in this light is in its own layer. On top we have the comp. That's the composite of all the different layers that's going to be brought in to the overall file. And we could see that every little element is in its own layer. There's groups and subgroups and here you could see we could open up, there's a Front plate and Top housing, which has another little group here that's this cone here, and there is the top brace, and so on. So there's a lot of different layers. Now the reason we see some of the lights and they're all different is because of the fact that everything is in a layer.
They are the same light over and over again, but every one has its little nuance and that's what is easy, because of the layers like the dirt. That dirt layer right there which if I wanted to see that layer in particular, and then I can't remember what I called it, I could just hold down my Control key right here and click on it and I could see there's a list. And right there it came. Dirt, so if I click on dirt, there is the dirt layer right there which I can turn that off. And you could see here as the layer turns off. By changing that layer right there I was able to make every light look different.
And a little tilt here and there made the difference. Now when we look at the file where all the lights have been assembled, right here, we see there they are going back in space, making smaller as they go around. This one is tilted a little bit, this one is tilted that way, and so on. Each one looks different. Now how did I determine their size difference? I used the Blend tool in Illustrator. The series of tutorials on Illustrator will explain this little feature, but right here you see that I have a layer called Guides. And what I did is I created the basic shape and using my perspective in Illustrator I created the far shape, which is a little guy there.
And then I blended from one to the other giving me all the steps in between. So I had a guide for how I was going to shrink each light. So once I added the wire and changed the dirt and the angles of the shadows and such, I was able to then create the second light, the third, forth, all the way down to the end here and they're all going back in space, getting smaller, and each one looks different. So all these lights came from one single light and since everything was in a layer, it made it really easy to make multiples that all look like they're individual lights.

Annapolis to Become the Chesapeake Bays First Community Wildlife Habitat
First Lady Katie OMalley to join NWF in Kick-off event
Annapolis, Md. (November 3, 2011) — The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) will host "Working Each Day to Save the Bay" from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on November 7, at the Boatyard Bar & Grill in Annapolis. First Lady Judge Katie O'Malley will kick-off the campaign to certify Annapolis as a Community Wildlife Habitat.
"Our Bay is one of our State's most precious natural treasures," said First Lady Katie O'Malley. "Martin and I have a garden at home, and we use it to demonstrate what each of us can do to improve our health and protect our environment by growing fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs. I am very proud of our communities, schools and businesses for coming together to encourage environmental stewardship and realizing the importance of saving our Bay."
A NWF Community Wildlife Habitat is a region that provides habitat for wildlife and practices sustainable gardening ─ in individual backyards, on school grounds and in public areas such as parks, community gardens, places of worship and businesses. The objective of NWF's Community Habitat program is to create partnerships and help the City of Annapolis raise citizen awareness about watershed challenges and issues, and build ownership of local waterways─ with the ultimate goal of engaging more individuals and organizations in stewardship practices.
The Government House garden now houses a bee hive for honey, a water fountain to attract birds and bees, three water barrels, a natural setting of trees, brush and shrubs to provide shelter for animals and insects, a food garden, and natural landscape to reduce water usage and maintenance costs.
"The National Wildlife Federation is excited to be partnering with the City of Annapolis to become a Certified Wildlife Habitat Community," said Tony Caligiuri, Regional Executive Director of NWF's Chesapeake Mid-Atlantic Regional Center. "By pursuing this program, the City of Annapolis continues its commitment to the environment by encouraging resource protection, as well as raising awareness of community and residential land-use impacts on the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries."
The public is invited to attend; please RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com or 443-927-8046.

Matador Soccer Field - Northridge, Calif.
GameTracker available at GoMatadors.com
NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - The Cal State Northridge Matadors enter their final weekend before the start of Big West competition with games at San Francisco this Friday night, and their first home game in almost a month when they welcome the Air Force Falcons this Sunday afternoon. Kick-off for Friday's contest will take place at 7:00 p.m., Sunday's game will begin at 1:00 p.m.
Soccer fans looking to follow the progress of their soccer team during their time in San Francisco can do so by visiting GoMatadors.com this Friday evening. Links for GameTracker, Live Stats, and streaming video of the Northridge-San Francisco game will be available for fans to utilize. If you cannot make it to Matador Soccer Field for Sunday's game against Air Force, GameTracker will be available at GoMatadors.com.
Friday's game at San Francisco will end a tough six-game road trip for Cal State Northridge, the longest stretch of consecutive road games since the 1999 season when that respective team also faced a road trip of similar length. Currently tied for sixth place in the West Coast Conference, the Dons will bring a three-game losing streak to Negoesco Field Friday night.
As tough as CSUN's schedule has been, San Francisco has been almost as difficult as they have faced three top-25 opponents, #9 Northwestern, #20 Cal State Bakersfield, and #21 California in their first five games. Currently at 1-3-1 for the season, the Dons have not scored a goal in their last three games as they last found the back of the net on September 5th in their final game of the Saint Mary's Tournament against Cal State Fullerton. San Francisco's game against the Matadors will serve as the midpoint of a stretch of games that sees the Dons competing in six of eight games on their home turf at Negoesco Field. With losses at home to Bakersfield, Stanford, and on the road at Cal, San Francisco will travel to San Jose State on Sunday before starting West Coast Conference play with three straight home games against Loyola Marymount, San Diego, and St. Mary's (Calif.).
Sunday's match against the Air Force Falcons will only be the third time the teams have faced one another in their respective histories, and the first non-neutral match-up ever. The first time these teams faced one another took place in 1993 when the Matadors defeated the Falcons 1-0 in the 1993 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Semifinals held at UCLA. Air Force evened the series three years later with their 2-0 victory over CSUN in a meeting that was originally scheduled as a Matador home game, but relocated to Titan Stadium in Fullerton, Calif. due to a last-minute scheduling conflict at North Campus Stadium.
Last Sunday's 4-0 home victory over Oral Roberts snapped a three-game losing streak for Air Force; the Falcons are now tied with UNLV for third place within the Mountain Division of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation with a 2-4 overall record. Sunday's game will be the final tune-up for both teams as each will commence league play on October 2nd when Air Force hosts Denver, with the Matadors traveling to Fullerton once again to face the Cal State Fullerton Titans.
One of 17 newcomers to the squad this season, freshman forward Sam Ball is making quite an impression within the Big West this season. Leading CSUN with two goals scored - an impressive feat as he has only taken four total shots and has capitalized on both shots on goal taken - Ball is tied for the conference lead with 1.50 points per game and 0.67 goals per game, ranks third with 1.33 points per game, and is tied for seventh with five other players with two goals scored after competing in three games so far this season.
Friday's game at San Francisco will conclude a season-long six game road trip for the Matador men's soccer team. From CSUN's home-opener against San Diego, to Sunday's match against Air Force, 25 days will have passed between home games - the longest period of time between home games of any team in the Big West. Their current six-game road swing is the longest such stretch of games in the Davila era, tying a similar stretch of games the 1999 squad faced when they faced Cal State Sacramento and San Diego on the road before competing in two weekend tournaments in San Francisco and Nashville, Tenn.
Even though the Matadors are off to a tough start of the season, nobody can doubt the quality players Coach Davila has fielded so far as four of the six opponents Northridge has faced this season were ranked in the top-25 last season. Adding to an already challenging schedule is the fact that Northridge has only played one game at Matador Soccer Field, tying Cal Poly for the fewest number of home games played so far in 2010.
Known for creating a tough schedule year after year, the Matador coaching staff have pieced together one of the most challenging schedules ever in an attempt to prepare the team for the challenges and rigors faced during conference play. Almost one-third of the games scheduled in 2010 will be against teams that were ranked in the top-25 nationally by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America in 2009. The list of opponents includes CSUN's season-opening game vs. San Diego (9/1), last season's College Cup runners-up Akron (9/17), San Francisco (9/24), cross-town rival UCLA (10/27), UC Santa Barbara (10/23), and UC Irvine (10/20).
One indication of the success sophomore goalkeeper Michael Abalos earned last season can be seen in the Matador record books as the San Juan Capistrano native earned a spot on four different lists with his numbers earned during his freshman season at Northridge. Abalos now shares tenth place with Louie Mata (1992-93) with his seven career victories, is fifth all-time with his 1.17 career goals against average, and is now tied for eighth all-time with Joel Entreken (1990-91) and his six career shutouts. His five clean sheets earned in 2009 is also the seventh-highest number of shutouts earned in a season, tying him with Joe Barton (2001) and Mike Littman (1989) and their respective single-season performances.
Since relocating from North Campus Stadium to their current facility before the start of the 2002 season, Matador Soccer Field has presented a strong home-field advantage for the Matadors. In the 72 games played on-campus, CSUN possesses an overwhelming 49-15-8 record at home for a .736 winning percentage on their home turf.
With four additional victories, head coach Terry Davila will become the fifth coach in Big West history to win 100 game as a member of the conference. Even though Davila enters the 2010 season with 110 career wins to his credit, the first 14 were earned as member of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. In 2001 the Matadors switched conference affiliation from the MPSF to the Big West, since then Davila's teams have compiled a 96-55-30 overall record (.613 pct.). With his first victory over a conference opponent in 2010 Davila will also become just the third head coach to win 50 or more conference games.
The 2010 Cal State Northridge men's soccer team received 27 points and were picked to finish fourth in the 2010 Big West Men's Soccer Preseason Coaches poll as announced by the league office in mid-August. Northridge was narrowly edged out by Cal Poly as the Mustangs earned 28 points to claim third place by a slim one point margin. Finishing in second place with 43 total points and one first place vote was UC Irvine, with UC Santa Barbara leading the way with 48 points and six first place votes. Cal State Fullerton's 22 points were enough to secure fifth place, with UC Davis and UC Riverside rounding out the poll in sixth and seventh place respectively with 17 and 11 points. This is the third straight season that Northridge was predicted to finish in fourth place; last season CSUN received 32 overall and one first place point en route to a 10-8-2 overall record, clinching a spot in the 2009 Big West Men's Soccer Postseason Tournament.
Tickets for all home men's matches are available through the CSUN Associated Students Ticket Office. Adults are $5, while youth 17 and under and seniors 60 and older are $3. There is also a $3 discounted rate ticket for CSUN Faculty/Staff, Military Service Personnel and CSUN Alumni Association Members with their respective identification cards.
CSUN students receive free admission to all home games with their CSUN I.D. Groups of 10 or more people may purchase $3 tickets, but tickets must be purchased a minimum of 24 hours in advance. For more information, call the A.S. Ticket Office at 818-677-2488.

The family connection obviously hasn't hurt her, but where her debut was a tepid, run-of-the-mill urban-contemporary offering, Solange's follow-up is a creative spray of day-glo color, proving that this artist has a confident, unique identity all her own.
|Steeped in vintage R&B samples and a freewheeling aesthetic that borrows from jazz, blues, hip-hop, and electronica, SOL-ANGEL grooves, surprises, and seduces. Whether she's channeling Marvin Gaye ("Ode to Marvin") or the stripped-down Motown vibe of lead single "I Decided," or dabbling in hip-hop or electro, the disc is fun back to front. Help from the Neptunes, Cee-Lo, Mark Ronson, Q-Tip, Lil Wayne, and Bilal makes the package glitter, but it's Solange's quirkiness and exuberance that makes this one of the better R&B albums of 2008.

Professional Reviews
"Perceptions are not always based in reality, and nobody knows this better than me. With the release of my sophomore album, Sol-AngeL and the Hadley St. Dreams (Music World Entertainment/Geffen Records), I am ready to have every listener step into my very personal field of dreams, minus the preconceived notions.
When you look up the word biography, the Webster dictionary defines this as a written history of someone's life. Well, I figured no one would be able to tell this story better than I could, which is why this won't be a traditional artist bio.
My life as a performer started very early on. Classically trained in ballet, jazz, tap and modern dance, I stepped in, unexpectedly, as a back up dancer when a Destiny's Child dancer suddenly had to leave the tour. This position gave me the opportunity to travel all across the World to places such as Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa and Mexico. It was then I developed a deep sense of culture, style, and artistic influences.
At the age of 16, I released my debut album, Solo Star, on Columbia Records. This album was a creative turning point for me; a melting pot of different genres and sounds including R&B, Reggae, Alternative, and even Country. My first single "Feeling You," featuring Noreaga, was a Reggaeton/Dancehall inspired song. This was always the vision I had for the record despite my label's own reservations. Although I had all of the big-wig producers on board (The Neptunes, Timbaland, Rockwielder, and the Underdogs), I struggled to find one sound of my own. However, I found a new love for writing which I was able to showcase on Kelly Rowland's debut solo album, Simply Deep, shortly after.
Tapping into an old passion, acting was next on the radar for me. I was ready to soak up any great opportunity I could get and when I was selected to play the daughter of Cedric the Entertainer and Vanessa Williams in Johnson Family Vacation I signed on." --Solange

United boss Ferguson is wary of City's threat in air
Posted: December 05, 2012|
SIR Alex Ferguson is scared Manchester United's cartoon defending is going to prove very costly in Sunday's Manchester derby.
Ferguson appeared to dash hopes of Nemanja Vidic returning to lend a hand when he ruled the Serbian out of tonight's Champions League encounter with CFR Cluj at Old Trafford.
United need some sort of assistance, though. In conceding 32 goals so far this season, including three in quite awful fashion at Reading on Saturday, Ferguson said he could not remember a time when his side's defence had been so leaky this side of Christmas.
It was actually 2001/02, when United conceded 39 goals in their first 23 games, and 41 before Santa made his way down the chimney.
Clearly, though, it is no laughing matter for Ferguson, especially when he considers what is lying in wait on the other side of town this weekend.
"It is a worry," said Ferguson. "If we perform like that on Sunday then God knows what's going to happen to us.
"We've lost 32 goals already – I can't remember us losing so many goals before Christmas.
"Saturday was like Cartoon Cavalcade and when you see City have Balotelli, Dzeko – really tall players – it's going to be a big challenge."
Ferguson's reasoning is that there are so many issues to resolve by then, focusing on a game which is not right in front of him is pointless.
Yet, history suggests the United manager is not quite beyond clouding the issue himself in order to suit his own ends.
So, while Ferguson's words on Vidic's readiness to play after September knee surgery were clear enough, until the Serbian actually fails to make the United squad, either tonight or at the weekend, they will be greeted with some degree of scepticism.
"I don't think Nemanja will play," said Ferguson.
"He feels he needs another few days' training so he won't be available.
"He's not far away. He's training well now, but I think another few days will bring him on better.
"But if he doesn't play there's no chance he'll play in the derby game, although I wasn't considering Nemanja for Sunday anyway."

Experts in Prescription Drug Withdrawal
We offer affordable tapering programs to help you withdraw from Bupropion
Bupropion is also marketed as Wellbutrin and is a psychostimulant and an atypical antidepressant that exerts its action on Norepinephrine and Dopamine. Norepinephrine, along with Epinephrine underlies the flight-or-fight response by increasing heart rate, triggering the release of glucose and increasing blood flow to the skeletal muscle. Dopamine plays a major role in reward-driven learning in the brain system. Stimulants such as cocaine and methamphetamine act directly on dopamine.
While initially marketed as an antidepressant, Bupropion was later used as a smoking cessation aid and over 20 million prescriptions were written in 2007, making it the fourth most prescribed antidepressant in the United States.
The prescribing information states that Bupropion does not require dose tapering, but case reports indicate that stopping Bupropion abruptly can cause a discontinuation syndrome that causes irritability, anxiety, mania, dystonia (neurological movement disorder) and many other symptoms. Therefore it is recommended to taper Bupropion to minimize withdrawal symptoms.
Bupropion is similar in structure to some stimulants and affects Dopamine and Norepinephrine. Bupropion withdrawal symptoms can be eased through a slow titration and the elimination of interaction items. Let us show you how to withdraw from Buproion safely and comfortably.
How Our Bupropion Withdrawal Program Works:
- Our non-profit team assits you through every step of your Bupropion taper.
- The Point of Return program includes unparalleled nutraceuticals to help minimize Bupropion Withdrawal symptoms.
- We eliminate possible interaction items so your Bupropion withdrawal is more comfortable.
- Our doctor recommended taper schedules allow your doctor to taper you correctly.
- We don't add more medications in an attempt to reduce Bupropion withdrawal. Instead, we take an all-natural, non-drugging approach.
- Don't let Bupropion dependence hold you back any longer.
Call toll free 866.605.2333 for a free consultation or send us a confidential inquiry.
Included in Your Bupropion Withdrawal Program
*nutraceuticals are used throughout the taper
Other Withdrawal Programs
Bupropion side effects may include:
Drowsiness, fatigue, lethargy, lightheadedness, dizziness, difficult concentrating, confusion, memory loss, uncontrollable laughter, change in libido, tremor, headache, migraine, akathisia, muscle stiffness, slurred speech, slowed speech, tinnitus, vertigo, tingling of extremities, paresthesia, weakness, seizure, muscle twitching, numbness, euphoria, tardive dyskinesia, dry or numb mouth, blurred vision, priapism, diplopia, nasal congestion, constipation, sweating, urinary retention, urinary frequency, incontinence, hypotension, tachycardia, palpitations, shortness of breath, apnea, atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, ventricular activity, myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest.
Bupropion Withdrawal Symptoms May Include:
aggression, anxiety, balance issues , blurred vision, brain zaps, concentration impairment, constipation, crying spells, depersonalization, diarrhea, dizziness. electric shock sensations, fatigue, flatulence, flu-like symptoms, hallucinations, hostility, highly emotional, indigestion, irritability, impaired speech, insomnia, jumpy nerves, lack of coordination, lethargy, migraine headaches / increased headaches, nausea, nervousness, over-reacting to situations, paranoia, repetitive thoughts or songs, sensory & sleep disturbances, severe internal restlessness (akathisia), stomach cramps, tremors, tinnitus (ear ringing or buzzing), tingling sensations, troubling thoughts, visual hallucinations / illusions, vivid dreams, speech or visual changes, worsened depression
What is Bupropion?(Wellbutrin, Zyban)
Wellbutrin (Bupropion) is an atypical antidepressant with pharmacological action as a Norepinephrine Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitor. Wellbutrin belongs to the chemical class of aminoketones and is similar in structure to some stimulants. This may explain why agitation and anxiety can increase in some patients, particularly at higher doses. It has also been approved as a smoking cessation aid. In 2007, Wellbutrin was the fourth-most prescribed antidepressant in the United States. Wellbutrin lowers the seizure threshold and its potential to cause seizures has been documented. This controversial side effect was responsible for its initial withdrawal from the market, but was found to be largely dose-dependent and approved. Abrupt discontinuation may result in withdrawal symptoms yet the manufacturer recommends dose tapering only if Wellbutrin was prescribed for Seasonal Affective Disorder and is not required if used as a smoking cessation treatment.

DISCLAIMER: *Because prescription medications can cause severe withdrawal reactions, do not stop taking any medication without first consulting your physician. The decision to taper any medication should be discussed with your doctor and must be done with their consent and support. More...

Crews put out fire at former Ventura farm
Ventura fire crews Monday extinguished a hay and manure fire at a former mushroom farm five days after it started.
Firefighters watched the blaze all weekend after a sprinkler system was installed Friday, said Ventura Fire Battalion Chief Tony Hill.
He said fire officials will check on the fire site periodically.
"We will continue to monitor it in the coming days and weeks," Hill said. "I'll be sending firefighters to check on it three times a day."
The fire burned 1.5 acres at the former California Mushroom Farm in the 4400 block of Olivas Park Drive. It was first reported about 7:40 a.m. Wednesday.
Smoke from the fire caused health concerns in the area during the first few days of the fire. Water runoff also was a concern, but fire officials soon began using recycled water to fight the blaze.

I bought an AK-47 parts kit here in VA
From what I understand, legally speaking, the part that is missing is the gun itself, everything else is just parts. Otherwise they impose a background check, even if it's a private sale! That sucks, but little do they know that I know how to use machine tools, and I can even weld.
So, the other two things are that I can't use all of the parts because they're foreign. That's dumb. Also, I can't make it a fully automatic weapon. That's even dumber. I think whoever wrote these rules should be used for target practice.
Anyway, barring all of that, I'm allowed to put it together. I'm not going to serial number it, but I am going to inscribe "property of the Twitcher, keep your mits off!!!111!"

Sounds like fun. Don't see too many people building AK pattern parts kits since the assembled rifle's usually cheap enough as it is.

Style: Ex-Tomiki Aikido--
Maybe you guys can help me out here. My father-in-law has a Norinco MAK-90 Sportster. Basically an N-co copy of the '47. Took it out shooting one day and the whole trigger assembly came apart when the pins came dislodged. Turns out the pins weren't stock and were a skoosh on the small side. I ordered an AK-47 pin, but it didn't fit. There was far too much play once I put it through the receiver and trigger/hammer assemblies.
I don't know the first damned thing about smithing, but I should be able to figure this out. I just can't seem to find anywhere that sells the trigger/hammer pins for the MAK-90.
Any ideas?
AK receivers come in "flat" and "bent." They're exceedingly simple things. Check yourself, but I believe the flat ones are, like 80% AR recievers, not actually firearms for purposes of law. But a flat AK receiver stamping is a LOT fewer steps from completion than an 80% AR receiver.
Mind you, I don't build these things. This is just what I've picked up from helping friends. I have enough money sinks for now.

Need lunch suggestions - Lankershim/Magnolia in NoHo
Just moved to North Hollywood for work, and looking for lunch suggestions - within walking distance or 5-7 minute drive. Love the hole-in-the-wall, local joints where food takes precedence over everything else.
Here's what I've looked at so far:
Eclectic cafe - should be great, is pretty average
Casita Taco - pretty good
Eat - pretty good
What else? Sushi, Thai, Middle Eastern, Pizza, Salads, etc?
Thanks in advance!
You are right on top of Pit Fire Pizza http://www.pitfirepizza.com/ at the location and heading west on Magnolia you'll come to Sitton's Diner in no time for some American diner food.
re: Servorg
One other close by is the Kansas City BBQ Company on Magnolia east of that intersection only a short drive: http://www.thekansascitybbqcompany.com/
re: Servorg
have yet to go to the KC BBQ but just followed the link to their menu - sure does seem expensive.....
re: Servorg
Sitton's used to be merely adequate at best (some on this Board had a much harsher word for it), and the service could border on rude; I went there because they still have such things as liver and onions. Last time I went it was much improved in every respect.
re: Will Owen
Agreed Will. Worst chicken fried steak I ever ate.
There's a Philly Cheesesteak place a bit north of Lankershim on south side of Magnolia. Their chicken cheese steak is awesome. give me a sec and I'll find then name and address...
wow! glad to see they've extended their hours too!
Mon-Fri. 10:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Sat. 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Philadelphia Sandwiches
11112 Magnolia Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91601
re: kiwi
My office is on Magnolia at Tujunga and this is my go to place when the wife doesn't want to cook. Their hoagie cheese steak with everything is the best I've had in Los Angeles and their FRESH french fries are great. I a great salt eater decline additional salt with their fries. Not that they are overseasoned they are perfectly seasoned. A Russian husband and wife team cooking Philly cheese steaks in Los Angeles. Pure synergisim.
re: Hughlipton
is this the one next to the billiards joint?
also, any comparison to the other 2 cheesesteak joints in burbank?
I am very familiar with this neighborhood. I heartily second Kansas City BBQ. Love their Burnt Ends Sandwich, Beans and Sweet Potato Fries, and the pork ribs can be delicious, though inconsistent.
For middle-eastern sandwiches, the Hy Mart Deli, at the intersection of Lankershim and Vineland, is a hidden gem. I love the veggie baby on a french roll (they even have a little panini press to put some extra crunch on the crust), though all of their sandwiches with falafel are delicious. Plus it's a true mom and pop operation, and they're very nice people.
re: BearCity
hymart deli is GOD
They have moved next to H Salt Fish n Chips as of this writing
- Hymart Deli
- El Taco Llama
- Taco truck at 7/11 on Vineland/Burbank
- Skaf's!!!
- Zankou
- Willie's Grill (fish n chips, in Burbank)
I also eat at Kansas City BBQ but find their owners "less than amiable", especially when you ask for togo containers of bbq sauce.
Vicious Dogs is also in the area, although I have never been. Also order from "Bollywood Cafe" in Studio City. I laughed at the name too but the food is quite decent, and they deliver.
NO DICE for Asian food, although a certain spot in Reseda is calling my name.
re: kedar5150
I definitely second El Taco Llama, which I prefer to La Casita, though it is basically an outdoor stand at the car wash on Magnolia, just east of Cahuenga. Try the asada and birria tacos with the smokey red salsa. I also really liked the tostada ceviche.
For burgers, though I've never tried it, Jack's Classic at the intersection of Tujunga, Riverside & Camarillo has received some good reviews on this board.
Kansas City BBQ is okay. I liked the brisket, but the food wasn't that great. If I worked nearby, though, I might go there more option.
In Burbank, on Olive, is Ribs U.S.A. Despite its name, stay away from the ribs. The hot wings, however, are very good. If you like wings, it's worth trying. Otherwise, stay away.
Choza Mama for Peruvian is in the same general vicinity. It is decent for ceviche.
The two Burbank restaurants may be pushing distance, though you probably can get there within a 5-7 minute drive.
re: Jwsel
Q-Cina Green Cafe has good food and the prices are great for what you get.
re: Akitist
Yes, instead go to Willie's Grill, which somehow serves some of the best FnC around; all with the unique decor of being a deli inside of a liquor store.
Where else can you pick up fish n chips, a steel reserve, and a pack of strawberry swishes all in one stop?
re: ns1
Just tried Skaf's for the first time today, and it's miles better than the Glendale location. The service is vastly more friendly, and the stuffed eggplant and grape leaves special was outstanding. The lamb kabob was also very good.
Hummus was very fresh, with a nice dose of olive oil.
One complaint: They could use some fresher pickles (pink pickled turnips). These were too firm, and kind of dry. But this is a minor complaint that was completely overshadowed by the great service. I will definitely drive to go to this place again.
re: lil mikey
I've been going to the Glendale location for years...gotta make a stop to the NoHo branch one of these days
Coley's for Jamaican/Carribean food. Stay away from the goat, though. The chicken in various preparations is good, as is the fish.
Maximilian's is an upscale, white tablecloth affair with quite good Austrian food.
If you went out to dine at a French restaurant in 1970, Le Petit Chateau is the kind of place you almost certainly ended up at. It's one of the very few places that still serves things like Beef Wellington on their dinner menu. For lunch they're more reasonably priced and offering things like omelettes and a very good hamburger.
I'm very partial to the Indian food at Salomi, not as authentic as what you're likely to find in Artesia, it's somewhat more in the style of British Raj food. It supposedly was (is?) George Harrison's favorite L. A. restaurant.
I haven't been to Tokyo Delve's in twenty-five years, but that's the sushi joint in the 'hood.
The best pizza in the East Valley is five minutes away at Caioti on Tujunga near Moorpark, the last restaurant run by Ed LaDou who helped invent what's come to be known as "California pizza". In the same block are Gelato Bar owned by Nancy Silverton and Press Panini owned by Silverton's brother, both offering excellent examples of their title wares. And Village Gourmet has very good takeout salads and sandwiches for an impromptu picnic in Woodbridge Park.

Kindle for iPhone, iPad updated with more reader-friendly features
Amazon has updated its Kindle app for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad and added in a few really nice features like real page numbering, percentage read, and Google and Wikipedia lookup.
Kindle now provides real page numbers to books from the Kindle Store. This basically means that Kindle books will mirror the print versions page numbers. This may not sound like a big deal but if you are reading in a group or in class it is very important . Also you can now see how far you have read as a percentage whilst reading the book and the app home screen now shows your progress in a list view.
Finally, and maybe one of the best new features is the ability to lookup words using Google and Wikipedia all from within the application.
The app still does not give you the ability to purchase books through in-app purchase or via iTunes. This apparently was the reason Sony's application was recently rejected. This is sure to fan the flames of the alleged upcoming war with Sony!
A point to note, after the update, most of my books would not open and had to be deleted and downloaded again. Let us know in the comments if you experience the same problem!

Kindle for iPhone, iPad updated with more reader-friendly features
No problems thus far but I don't see page numbers as described. Either that or Keith Richards' "Life" is over 10,000 pages long!
No problems here with update. All my books opened and -- after a while (everything has to resync) -- page numbers showed up.
Separately, anyone notice that NY Times for Kindle purchases are now also downloadable on your Kindle for Android phone app, but NOT on the Kindle for iPhone app (never was, and this new version doesn't change that). Wonder if that's being directed by Apple, Amazon or NYTimes?
I usually think that Apple makes good decisions about their devices, but this one looks disastrous from this distance. As we approach it, there could be fallout.
Things like Kindle for iPhone may just disappear. In the real world of profit margins, 30% profit is rare indeed. Cam Amazon push down the profit margin that the writers (esp. measly) and publishers (less so) are willing to give up for volume? Then there is Sony, and others like them, that provide other content. What if these folks decide not to play and iOS devices start to look less like paradise and more like a desert?
But lets say that publishers play the game and provide content chasing volume, assuming that certain things can generate volume at all. Then you talk about best sellers and you once again trash the niche markets, the way a change in the tax code a few decades ago got rid of the back list. (When books could be warehoused without take ramification between tax years, you could always buy books previously published by an author. Now a days, eBooks help there, but this could endanger the diversity of the ecosystem once again.) The lock on not being able to charge more on iOS for the convenience of buying on your iDevice is this issue, here. It's killer.
I can see Android and other tablets being subsidized by publishers just to create an environment where they can control their profit margins on their goods.
