Natural dog food and why it's better
Good quality and healthy food can not only keep human beings fit but it is also important for animals. So, your pet cat or dog also needs good food to stay active and strong. Here are some ideas which will help you prepare natural dog food. Also, check out the reasons why this kind of food is better.
Try to feed organic food to your dog
Organic food keeps the dogs more energetic. This kind of food helps them to keep up a healthy weight as well. Plump dogs are cute but those few extra pounds are definitely not good for their health. An overweight dog can get health problems like diabetes, organ failure, back ailments or hip dysplasia. Moreover, overweight dogs have low energy levels for the kind of exercise which could improve their health. Organic food can help your dog to stay away from all these health problems. It has superior but natural nutritional value. Organic food doesn't have bulk-fillers and it tastes better to your dog. This kind of food feel is filling which means that it keeps your dog more satiated even when consumed in smaller amounts. Organic food can help your dog to exercise more, to stay more active and to lose weight.
Go for salmon based food
Salmon based dog food contains vitamins and calcium which is important for dogs. You can go for Salmon based dog food consisting of Choline Chloride, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Folic Acid and various minerals. The Instinct Salmon dry dog food comes with all these vitamins and various other beneficial ingredients. It is a healthy dietary option that's made with organic substances. Specifically formulated for rotation feeding, it also comes with freeze-dried raw coating which makes it palatable as well as nutritious. You can also try natural dog food because it helps dogs keep up their lean muscle mass. Check out the Earthborn Adult Vantage natural Dog food that's formulated with high quality ingredients, vitamins and minerals which give excellent digestibility and nutrient absorption.

And when an insane sea-piece steals the shirt and threatens to use it on Jen, Phil's battle in spite of her affections takes on dangerously heaven-kissing stakes.

Here's a photo of Jannik Hansen from the Canucks' first-round series with the Kings. I'm not entirely sure what's going on in it. It looks like, maybe, Hansen collided with Rob Scuderi along the boards and the two went down.
But it also sort of looks like Hansen convinced Scuderi to let himself be used as a beanbag chair. The LA defender's nickname is "The Piece". Maybe that's only half of it, and the second half is "Of rumpus room furniture"?
Judging by the weirdly vacant look on Hansen's face, I'm leaning towards the second option. That's not the look of a guy that's just been in a high-speed hockey collision. That's not the look of a guy dialed in at all. That's the look of a guy vegging out. I mean, check out what happens when you put him on an actual beanbag chair.
Instant relaxation. I bet Hansen has no idea where he is. He looks like he should be asleep with a bowl of Chex Mix in his lap.
Anyway. This was a stupid post. In closing, here's Hansen on Dale Weise's invisible couch.

Syllabus for CMP-202
Foundations of Information Technology provides an overview of the fundamental ideas and principles behind information systems. The course approaches traditional computer concepts from a managerial perspective geared to the requirements of businesses and organizations. Within this context students use case studies to analyze and discuss design concepts and approaches to managing information and implementing technology solutions. The course introduces students to the role of information systems in business, society, and private life, to the role of critical decision makers, and to important decision support tools. It further addresses core ethical issues, principles, and procedures. Students are expected to develop critical thinking as well as analytical and problem-solving skills.
After completing this course, you should be able to:
You will need the following testbook to do the work of the course. The required textbook is available from the College's textbook supplier, MBS Direct.
Required Textbook
Foundations of Information Technology is a three-credit online course, consisting of five (5) modules. Modules include an overview, list of topics, learning objectives, study materials, and activities. Module titles are listed below.
For your formal work in the course, you are required to participate in online discussion forums, complete written assignments, complete case studies, take module quizzes, and complete a final project. See below for more details.
Consult the course Calendar for assignment due dates.
Foundations of Information Technology requires you to participate in five (5) graded discussion forums (worth 15% of your course grade). There is also an ungraded but required Introductions Forum in Module 1.
Discussion questions—for which you will have a choice in each module—are drawn from end-of-chapter discussion questions in the textbook. Communication and collaboration among fellow students and with the mentor is a critical component of online learning. Participation in online discussions involves two distinct assignments: an initial response to a discussion question and subsequent comments on classmates' responses. Meaningful participation is relevant to the content, adds value, and advances the discussion. Comments such as "I agree" and "ditto" are not considered value-adding participation. Therefore, when you agree or disagree with a classmate, the reading, or your mentor, state and support your agreement or disagreement. You will be evaluated on the quality and quantity of your participation, including your use of relevant course information and your awareness of and responses to the postings of your classmates. Remember, these are discussions. Responses and comments should be properly proofread and edited, professional, and respectful.
You are required to complete five (5) case study assignments (worth 20% of your course grade) and five (5) written assignments (also worth 20% of your course grade). The case study assignments are based on the running Web site case about Whitmann Price Consulting and include written discussion questions and critical thinking questions. The written assignments consist of short-answer essay questions and a choice of projects.
Take the time to read through the case study and written assignment questions before you begin each module. Your answers to the assignment questions should be well developed and convey your understanding of the course materials. Formulate responses in your own words (do not merely copy answers from your reading materials), citing text materials and outside sources where appropriate and in an appropriate manner.
Prepare your case study and written assignments using whatever word processing program you have on your computer. Include your name at the top of the paper, as well as the course name and code and the semester and year in which you are enrolled.
Before submitting your first assignment, check with your mentor to determine whether your word processing software is compatible with your mentor's software. If so, you can submit your work as you prepared it. If not, save your assignment as a rich-text (.rtf) file, using the Save As command of your software program. Rich text retains basic formatting and can be read by any other word processing program.
At the conclusion of each module, following the written assignment, is an online module quiz. The quizzes for Modules 1, 4, and 5 consist of 30 true-or-false and multiple-choice questions and are 30 minutes long. The quizzes for Modules 2 and 3 consist of 60 true-or false and multiple-choice questions and are 60 minutes long.
Module quizzes (together worth 15% of your course grade) may be taken only once. Consult the course Calendar for quiz deadlines. A good way to prepare for the module quizzes is to take the chapter practice quizzes designated in each module.
In lieu of a final exam, you are required to complete a final project (worth 30% of your course grade).
The Final Project asks you to write an 8–10 page research report (typed, double-spaced) or a 4–5 page research report with accompanying PowerPoint presentation (15–20 slides) in which you describe a company of your choice, the nature of its business, a specific product or service, and how that product or service is produced and distributed by the company and then recommend the information technology system you think should be in place and why. The project entails two stages:
Your grade in the course will be determined as follows:
All activities will receive a numerical grade of 0–100. You will receive a score of 0 for any work not submitted. Your final grade in the course will be a letter grade. Letter grade equivalents for numerical grades are as follows:
Below 60
To receive credit for the course, you must earn a letter grade of C or better (for an area of study course) or D or better (for a nonarea of study course), based on the weighted average of all assigned course work (e.g., exams, assignments, discussion postings, etc.).
First Steps to Success
To succeed in this course, take the following first steps:
Study Tips
Consider the following study tips for success:
Students at Thomas Edison State College are expected to exhibit the highest level of academic citizenship. In particular, students are expected to read and follow all policies, procedures, and program information guidelines contained in publications; pursue their learning goals with honesty and integrity; demonstrate that they are progressing satisfactorily and in a timely fashion by meeting course deadlines and following outlined procedures; observe a code of mutual respect in dealing with mentors, staff, and other students; behave in a manner consistent with the standards and codes of the profession in which they are practicing; keep official records updated regarding changes in name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address; and meet financial obligations in a timely manner. Students not practicing good academic citizenship may be subject to disciplinary action including suspension, dismissal, or financial holds on records.
Academic Dishonesty
Thomas Edison State College expects all of its students to approach their education with academic integrity—the pursuit of scholarly activity free from fraud and deception. All mentors and administrative staff members at the College insist on strict standards of academic honesty in all courses. Academic dishonesty undermines this objective. Academic dishonesty can take the following forms:
Please refer to the Academic Code of Conduct Policy in the College Catalog and online at www.tesc.edu.
Using someone else's work as your own is plagiarism. Thomas Edison State College takes a strong stance against plagiarism, and students found to be plagiarizing will be severely penalized. If you copy phrases, sentences, paragraphs, or whole documents word-for-word—or if you paraphrase by changing a word here and there—without identifying the author, or without identifying it as a direct quote, then you are plagiarizing. Please keep in mind that this type of identification applies to Internet sources as well as to print-based sources. Copying and pasting from the Internet, without using quotation marks and without acknowledging sources, constitutes plagiarism. (For information about how to cite Internet sources, see Online Student Handbook > Academic Standards > "Citing Sources.")
Accidentally copying the words and ideas of another writer does not excuse the charge of plagiarism. It is easy to jot down notes and ideas from many sources and then write your own paper without knowing which words are your own and which are someone else's. It is more difficult to keep track of each and every source. However, the conscientious writer who wishes to avoid plagiarizing never fails to keep careful track of sources.
Always be aware that if you write without acknowledging the sources of your ideas, you run the risk of being charged with plagiarism.
Clearly, plagiarism, no matter the degree of intent to deceive, defeats the purpose of education. If you plagiarize deliberately, you are not educating yourself, and you are wasting your time on courses meant to improve your skills. If you plagiarize through carelessness, you are deceiving yourself.

Originality Report Checking at Turnitin
Disciplinary Process
First-time incidents of academic dishonesty concerning plagiarism may reflect ignorance of appropriate citation requirements. Mentors will make a good faith effort to address all first-time offenses that occur in courses. In these cases, the mentor may impose sanctions that serve as a learning exercise for the offender. These may include the completion of tutorials, assignment rewrites, or any other reasonable learning tool including a lower grade when appropriate. The mentor will notify the student by e-mail. Decisions about the sanctions applied for subsequent plagiarism offenses or other violations will be made by the appropriate dean's office, with the advice of the mentor or staff person who reported the violation. The student will be notified via certified mail of the decision. Options for sanctions include:

He initially works for the boss of that area, Huff N. Puff, and challenges Mario to a duel. After Lakilester loses the duel, he "turns traitor" and joins forces with Mario. He has a bit of an identity crisis, trying to change himself constantly, but keeps up his cool guy facade for a majority of the time. He has a girlfriend, named Lakilulu, who tries to protect him from any lasting harm. In the field, Lakilester will put Mario into his cloud, nearly doubling Mario's running speed and allowing him to traverse over spikes and lava.

Visit Germany's Black Forest via United for Families' Le Bal Masque
STUART - The 2013 Le Bal Masque will be held on March 2, 6:30 p.m. at Mariner Sands Country Club to benefit United for Families, a non profit organization that positively impacts the lives of virtually every known abused or neglected child in Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin and Okeechobee counties.
As part of the annual Le Bal Masque travel series, a new locale is explored every year, with the region's cultures and customs thematically woven into the entertainment, décor and cuisine of the evening.
This year, guests will be transported to the Black Forest of Germany where they will experience the mystery and wonder of the enchanted forest that once lit the imaginations of the Brothers Grimm.
Guests of this black-tie affair will partake in traditional German cuisine and libations, and enjoy special entertainment from the Swinging Bavarians who will perform Bavarian dance, Alpine yodeling and Austrian cowbells, all while wearing authentic attire, Lederhosen!
Tickets are $125 each or $875 for a table of eight and can be purchased online at http://uff.us/
Funds raised at Le Bal Masque will go towards the Road to Success Program. While United for Families receives a portion of its funding through state and federal sources, The Le Bal Masque fundraiser provides an opportunity to raise funds for underfunded, critical programs, such as its Road to Success Program, which prepares teenagers for life outside the foster-care system by teaching independent-living skills such as financial planning and budgeting. Thanks to the Road to Success program, more teens are graduating high school and pursuing college educations, while fewer are getting into trouble with the law or experiencing homelessness.
Committee members include Penny Morin, Carissa Zerga, Michelle Cavil, Jessica VanValkenburgh, Donna DeMarchi, Amber Gilbert and Rebecca Beckett.
Sponsors include: Seacoast National Bank; QVC; Secrets of Modern Parenting/Behavior Basics; Cloudspace; Ticktin Law Group; AC Advantage; Suntrust; Leopold Law; En Vogue Event Planning; Jane's Dance Boutique; Wealth Management of the Treasure Coast; Berger, Toombs, Elam, Gaines and Frank; Hugh Eighmie; Hometown News.

In Mathew 10:15 and again in Chapter 11:21 Jesus warns towns that if they do not accept His diciples that their future judgement will be more harsh than when He judges Sodom and Gomorrah and Tyre and Sidon. I am a little confused in that it seems that the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah and such were already judged. But the context makes it sound as if at a later date He will resurrect a whole town and judge it. What am I missing here?

Payment for group travel must go through Business Services and be charged on the Group Travel charge card. The following information will be needed to process the payment request:
For international travel, including U.S. possessions, separate dollar maximums for meals and lodging apply.
The University uses the federal government prescribed maximums, based on location and date of expense, for international lodging and meals.
Use the U.S Department of Defense calculator to look up the federal maximum rates for individual lodging and local meals prior to travel. Although Alaska and Hawaii are listed, these are considered domestic locations by University travel policy. Use the domestic rate maximums for these locations.
For payment or reimbursement, the daily maximum for meals, based on location and date of expense, must be prorated as follows:
Breakfast - 20% | Lunch - 30% | Dinner - 50%
Breakfast - 20% | Lunch - 30% | Dinner - 50%
As with domestic travel, the amount claimed for meal reimbursement must be the actual amount spent up to the maximums allows. Rates are not prescribed as a per diem allowance, and does not include incidental expenses. UW travel policy specifies incidentals or other miscellaneous travel expenses that can be paid or reimbursed and any receipt requirements.
Any meals provided by international hosts, conferences, or others cannot be claimed for reimbursement.
For international travel, employees may be reimbursed for the purchase of bottled water. The maximum reimbursement is limited to $7.50 per day. International travelers are also allowed personal phone calls, up to $10.00 per day, while in travel status.
The I.R.S. recommends that business travelers always keep receipts for personal tax filing purposes. University policy requires that the following receipts be provided with your reimbursement request.
Value added tax (VAT) and other taxes levied by foreign countries are payable. Federal maximum rates for the location are inclusive of VAT and all other taxes.
The University no longer uses contract services for VAT refund/reclaim. University departments and individual employees are prohibited from personally filing for refund of all international taxes paid or reimbursed by the UW.
Make your reservations through our contract with Fox World Travel and take full advantage of expert international reservation services. Usually international tickets receive a higher discount with the University preferred carriers, American, Delta and United.
Before you purchase tickets for international travel, be aware that the Fly America Act/Open Skies Agreement requires that Americans (University travelers) who fly internationally using funds from the federal government (federal funds = grants) utilize a U.S. flag carrier, with few exceptions.
Additional information on the Fly America Act and Open Skies Agreement can be found here and at the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA).
Information regarding passports, travel visas, immunization requirements, foreign currency, and insurances may be found on UW TravelWIse.

Moving & Relocations
The University may reimburse relocation and/or temporary lodging expenses for new and presently employed personnel assigned to new locations by transfer or promotion. Approval to reimburse employee relocation expenditures must be obtained from the Dean or appropriate Division head. Details and limitations for relocation expenses are outlined in the appointment agreement initiated by Human Resources. Stipends, reimbursements for moves less than 50 miles, reimbursements for temporary lodging, and any other taxable relocation expense will be reported to the IRS and a W-2 statement will be provided at the end of the year.
Moving reimbursement requests must be filed on a Travel Expense Report that includes the required signature approvals and original receipts.
Additional information on Moving and Relocation costs is available on the UW System Financial Administration webpage.
If you choose not to use a contracted vendor, you then must obtain three (3) quotes from vendors of your choice. Reimbursement would then be allowed up to the lowest bid amount.
Should the employee elect to relocate himself or herself, reimbursement for such a relocation is limited to the actual, reasonable, and necessary costs for any hired labor in loading and unloading the household goods and for the rental of trucks, trailers, moving equipment, or other expenses directly related to the relocation.

Teen Mom
Is Farrah Abraham Still Dating Daniel Alvarez?
On tonight's episode of Teen Mom, Farrah Abraham introduced her mom to her new boyfriend, Daniel Alvarez. But who is this man of mystery and, perhaps more importantly, are they still together?
Here's what we know: He's a Southern gentleman from Austin, Texas, he was 23 at the time they met, and he's an "Internet entrepreneur." And from the looks of this picture of the pair hanging out in the summer of 2011, he's got a one major thing in common with MTV's Teen Mom stars — his love of ink!
According to Life & Style, the two were set up by a woman Farrah met at an airport in New York and their first date was at P.F. Chang's in June of last year.
And now, we also know Daniel has very little tolerance for selfishness, which is apparently why he and Farrah called it quits just two months later.
"She was demanding and bossy and belittled me," Daniel said of his former girlfriend. "There was nothing you could say to her — she thinks she is right no matter what."
Naturally, Farrah was quick to defend herself on Twitter (we wouldn't expect anything less!), and sent this scathing message to her ex-beau:
"He dumped me ... @ImDanielAlvarez ur so immature and unimportant." She later tweeted, "SORRY. Daniel my ex hacked my twitter. I don't care to talk further. I'm moving forward. Please know he is purposely wanting attention."
Yikes! It's too bad things went sour so quickly — Sophia seemed to really like him!
What are your thoughts on Daniel from tonight's episode? Did you think he was a good fit for Farrah?

Earth Mother, each day I am reminded
of the happy love I hold - for all you are.

You never disappoint me !

For every atom I am- becomes you

Rather than state something as a fact, and then simply continue without justification. And while I pointed out that you need to work on your english, I was neither overly critical of that, nor did I say it in a insulting way.
Furthermore, while I appreciate the fact that you are trying to learn English, I will not stop in my efforts to improve your usage of english.
Do you do this to everyone? Are you an instructor from school? Either way you have no right to have the power over me and tell me that I need to work on my English. I'm fully aware that my grammar needs work (look at my sig) and I continue to improve.
If nVJoe wants to know exactly why Blu-ray is better then I will explain in details. I have expressed my opinion on why Blu-ray is better in general and this isn't thesis paper otherwise I'd backup my opinion with more than several references.
But to be honest, you didn't backup your position on why Blu-ray is better because HD DVD is dead. Or your comments on Profile 3.0.
Do you know Profile 3.0 refers to audio only Blu-ray? It can be done via software and Sony said they will update PS3 when needed. But it's mainly for Blu-ray audio player. There's not much infomation on Profile 3.0 so we shouldn't worry about it. At least for now. There's rumors about Profile 4.0 where it may add iHD and other features.
I still stand by my opinion that Blu-ray is better.
-higher storage capacity than hd dvd discs (50 gb vs 30 gb)
-higher bandwidth (48mbit/sec vs 30mbit/sec)
-has more studio support (more movies)
-improved with codec/audio and now matches to hd dvd if not better
-has gaming support
But of course, only thing that keeps people from buying Blu-ray because:
-high cost
-region coding
-excessive copy protection
-players that aren't future-proof
Technically, Blu-ray is superior. If you're able to afford it, that is. Or wait until price drops. Region coding is old news... DVD has them. Soon all players will be profile 2.0 ready, and I'll bet that company will offer sort of rebate for early adopters. I'm not sure about excessive copy protection but it doesn't bother me much. Much larger storage capacity discs (100GB+) are on way in near future.
I used to HD DVD supporter but not anymore. And I hate combo discs.

It's the last week of June, and the latest and last round of FLASHPOINT books is on the stands. (How long has it been since FLASHPOINT #2 came out? It seems like a while, doesn't it?)
Hal Jordan #1 (of 3)
(w) Adam Schlagman (a) Ben Oliver
In Flashpoint, Abin Sur is still the Green Lantern of Sector 2814. So what is Hal Jordan doing? Flying jets, duh. Clearly Adam Schlagman got some tips about the Green Lantern movie, the beginning of this comic has a lot in common with the beginning of the film. Of course it has a lot in common with other Green Lantern comics too. What kind of man is Hal Jordan without a power ring? Turns out he is a lot like Green Lantern. I guess there are a few things Professor Zoom didn't think it would be important to change. What will happen when this Hal Jordan meets up with best friend Barry Allen? Will he even?
PROJECT SUPERMAN #1 (of 3)
(w) Lowell Francis w/ Scott Snyder (a) Gene Ha
Once again, the world has been denied the presence of Kal-El, the last son of Krypton. But of course, no one notices. We did learn that the rocket that was destined to bring Superman to Earth exploded over Metropolis, but does that have anything to do with General Lane's Project Superman? Scott Snyder is given a story credit, but he tweeted recently that all the credit for this story goes to Lowell Francis. Okay. The story is about the military trying to create their own super powered combatant with mixed success. (A story not unlike Captain Atom.) What does this failed government Super Solider have to do with the meteors that destroyed Metropolis?
THE CANTERBURY CRICKET #1 (of 3)
(w) Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning (a) Eddy Nunez
Well that was not at all what I expected. I am not sure I knew what to expect with a book called Canterbury Cricket. Turns out this book is part of the Amazon UK segment of the Flashpoint books, though I suppose I knew that it would be. But who or what is the Cricket? Where does it come from? Like the Outsider, the Cricket is a wholly new character (as far as I am aware). But the Outsider's name at least has a history in the DCU (As in Batman and the…). The Cricket doesn't seem to be connected to any existing DCU character, although he resembles Helgrammite. The Cricket rises like King Arthur, in the time of England's greatest need. (hmmm, Arthur?) I don't think England has ever played such a major role in the DCU as it has in Flashpoint. Of course this book has some pretty good art by Rags Morales, and features the Demon, Etigran.
GREEN ARROW INDUSTRIES – One Shot.
(w) Pornsak Pinchetshote (a) Marco Castiello and Ig Guara
What happens to Ollie if he never gets stranded on a desert island? Well I guess he turns into the movie version of Tony Stark. Okay, well that's not exactly true, he's nowhere near as smart, but he does have one good idea. Green Arrow Industries takes recovered (or goes out and acquires) super villain's devices and turns them into weapons for the federal government. But other than that, he's still Oliver Queen. Womanizing, wisecracking and willful, but not a hero. Ollie as a character has not gotten a lot of respect of late, and I found it interesting that all of the characters shortcomings are what's been focused on. Can Ollie ever be a hero in any world? Or will he always get in his own way?
So now all of the Flashpoint tie in series are out. Have you read them all? Which is your favorite? Do you even care, knowing that all of the DC books are being rebooted in two months? Do you think any of the Flashpoint world will be carried over to the DCnU?
What characters/concepts would you like to see come September?

BLOOMSBURG — Students and faculty are mourning the death of a well known professor at Bloomsburg University. She was teaching Monday evening when she collapsed and died in class.
These students smiled as they remembered the woman who they said was one of their favorite professors at Bloomsburg University. Doctor Gloria Cohen-Dion was teaching one of her classes Monday night when she collapsed and died.
"It was a shock. I had just seen her and just talked to her," said Taylor Crisman.
These political science students considered Dr. Cohen-Dion a friend, and looked forward to her classes. Taylor Crisman had her as a professor six times.
"She was the first professor I had when I decided to come back to school. I was scared to death, but she inspired me and pushed me and I am going to graduate because of her," said Crisman.
"She took a huge interest in my future goals and had me come into her classroom and inspired me to pursue my goals and dreams," said Emma Worrall.
Dr. Cohen-Dion was a professor here at Bloomsburg University for the past 20 years, and she was head of the Political Science Department for 12.
"Education was the center of everything she did, and her main concern was the students," said Dr. Neil Strine.
Dr. Neil Strine is the chair of the Political Science Department, and said Dr. Cohen-Dion was a mentor to him.
"She may have been small in stature, but she had a huge presence about her and as a person she would do anything for anybody," said Dr. Strine.
"She was very much a strong woman. She loved what she did and loved to be a teacher," said Worrall.
Dr. Cohen-Dion was 77.

Pie Recipes continued
Displaying Matches 16 thru 28 of 28 Found. BACK
When I finally selected buttermilk, I was thrilled with how easy the pie was to make. Whisk a few ingredients together, pour the filling into an unbaked pie crust and that's it!
After the pie had baked and cooled, I nervously took a bite. I had waited so long to try this pie, I worried that I might not like it. After one bit, I realized, it wasn't anything like I had expected. In my mind's eye, I envisioned the cake being thick, almost like a cheesecake. I was wrong! The filling is creamy and lemony. It reminded me slightly of a lemon bar filling. I loved it!
I'm so happy I tried the pie. Here's the recipe. I hope you give it a try. . . .

Sam Fox opens latest eatery in Phoenix
PHOENIX -- Restaurant tycoon Sam Fox is at again, and this time he's turned an old motorcycle garage into a hip, new hangout in north central Phoenix.
Located on Seventh Street near Bethany Home Road, Culinary Dropout at the Yard is Fox's 18th restaurant to open in the Valley.
"The building's been here for about 60, 70 years and when we saw this space we thought this would be a great opportunity to do something here in north central," said Fox, founder of Fox Restaurant Concepts.
The restaurant features live music, an indoor and outdoor bar, and a huge patio with fire pits and games.
The food is prepared by executive chef Andrew Ashmore, who received a James Beard Award nomination for rising star chef younger than 30.
It's Fox's second Culinary Dropout location. The other restaurant is at the Scottsdale Waterfront.
"This is three times the size of the one in Scottsdale," Fox said. "It's got a little edgier vibe, just has a little more soul."
For years, the area has been void of any major attractions, but Fox believes the location couldn't be any better.
"I think Seventh Street is an unbelievable corridor." Fox pointed out its proximity to interstates 10 and 17 and is a major Phoenix thoroughfare. "We're excited about seeing some redevelopment going along Seventh Street here."
Culinary Dropout at the Yard opens for business Monday, Feb. 11 at 11 a.m.
Watch a video review of another of Fox's restaurants, The Arrogant Butcher, below.

Thinking of sailing America's Great Lakes? Well known Great Lakes Cruising Club School has expanded its webinar curriculum for 2013-14 and you don't have to be a member to take advantage of this popular series.
Thessalon sunset
This year, boaters can choose from more than 40 webinar tutorials conducted by experienced Great Lakes Cruising Club-accredited sail- or powerboating colleagues and industry specialists. The interactive sessions are available to anyone who has an interest in learning more about boating and the Great Lakes.
Live, real-time, on-screen presentations with visual aids provide an opportunity for participants to interact with the instructor and each other in a virtual classroom. Sessions typically run 60 to 90 minutes and require only a computer with speakers, a browser and a reasonable-speed Internet connection.
On average, a webinar costs $25 or $20 for current Great Lakes Cruising Club, United States Power Squadrons and Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons members.
New to the faculty this year is two-time circumnavigator, author of multiple cruising books and BoatUS technical director Beth Leonard, who is offering her 'Why Boats Sink' webinar in February.
Leonard joins other well-recognized cruising experts on the school faculty, such as weather forecasting and routing guru Chris Parker, marine refrigeration and power expert Bob Williams, past Cruising Club of America Commodore and safety-at-sea expert Sheila McCurdy and Starpath radar expert Larry Brandt.
Also being refreshed this year is the offering of regional Great Lakes cruising webinars, taught by school-accredited sail or power boating colleagues such as past school Commodore J.E. Fordyce, who the school said is arguably one of the most experienced Georgian Bay cruisers on the lakes.
This year also brings a totally new and modernized web site to better support secure webinar registration, plus new webinar broadcasting arrangements. With these changes all GLCCSchool facilities will now be directly managed by the
Great Lakes Cruising Club.
GLCCSchool webinars are open to everyone, whether they are a Great Lakes Cruising Club member or not.
Members of the USPS and CPS, can take advantage of discounts for GLCCSchool webinars.

The three most important things in real estate: Location, location, location.
At least that's an old saying regularly re-confirmed by property prices.
So as you marvel at the news, reported on our front page Tuesday, that a local two-story penthouse has been listed for sale at $19.5 million, don't overlook the fact that it's an asking — not necessarily a getting — price.
But also don't overlook the apparently considerable market value of living at the corner of Charleston's Broad and State streets.
Another strong selling point: Though this swanky pad takes up only a part of the People's Building, it consumes the top two floors.
In other words, it's got a grand view of the city and the harbor.
It's also really big — 7,516 square feet, including a 1,500-square-foot master suite. And that's not counting 3,500 square feet of terrace space. Among the other lavish features are Turkish limestone floors, Calcutta gold marble countertops, elegant chandeliers and two Sub-Zero 132-bottle wine chillers.
John Dunnan of Handsome Properties Inc., is the selling agent for owner Terri Henning. He told our reporter: "I feel very privileged and excited to have it, and I'm heading to Monte Carlo to present it during the international real estate conference."
And while Mr. Dunnan said the "marketing plan" for making this sale "has a local, national and international component to it," a $19.5 million asking price for a condo is bound to inflict some sticker shock on many Charleston natives.
Then again, the seller could sweeten the deal with some high-quality stock in those wine chillers.

Researchers have identified more than 150 types of
primary immunodeficiency (PI), which can be classified into 1 of 5 categories of immune defect
T-cells, which originate in the bone marrow, are responsible for fighting off viruses and fungi.
A lack of T-cells can lead to frequent infections. One PI disease caused by a T-cell deficiency
is DiGeorge syndrome, a disorder that begins during fetal development and can affect various
parts of the body, including the head, neck, face, parts of the brain, heart, and thymus.
Symptoms of DiGeorge syndrome can be mild to severe, and treatments will vary depending on
whether the immune defect is partial or complete.
B-cells are the cells that produce antibodies, and more than half of PI diseases are caused by B-cell (antibody) deficiencies. In these types of PI, an individual produces either too few or defective B-cells.
The most common of all PIs, and caused by a B-cell deficiency, is selective IgA deficiency.
In this disease, there is a deficiency of IgA immunoglobulins
in body secretions and the mucous membranes lining the airways and digestive tract.
IgA is normally present at body entrances, fighting off foreign substances. Compared to other PI
diseases, symptoms of selective IgA deficiency tend to be mild and take the form of infections that
are slow to respond to regular antibiotics.
Another common PI caused by B-cell deficiencies is common variable immunodeficiency (CVID),
a form of hypogammaglobulinemia, a condition in which the body doesn't produce enough immunoglobulins.
Hypogammaglobulinemia can appear in childhood but is typically diagnosed in people in their 20s or
30s. In addition to common bacterial infections, people with this condition can develop other immune
system diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, anemia, digestive tract disorders, and even some forms
of cancer. Usually, people with hypogammaglobulinemia receive treatment with
immunoglobulin replacement
Another PI disease caused by B-cell deficiencies is X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA),
which affects only males (females aren't affected because females have 2 X chromosomes). Males with XLA make no antibodies, and resulting illnesses include bacterial,
viral, and fungal infections that can affect the eye, ear, sinus, and skin and can cause pneumonia.
X-linked agammaglobulinemia can also be treated with immunoglobulin replacement therapy.
Combined deficiencies affect both primary weapons designed to fight germs—B-cells and T-cells.
PI diseases resulting from combined B-cell and T-cell deficiencies include
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, X-linked hyper IgM syndrome, ataxia telangiectasia (AT),
and severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID).
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is a condition that affects blood cells and the cells of the immune system.
Seen almost exclusively in males, the condition is characterized by a tendency to bleed easily and the
development of an intensely itchy, scaling skin rash (eczema), as well as severe recurrent infections.
Many patients have brothers or uncles with the same disease. The leading treatment option for
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is bone marrow transplantation. When bone marrow is available from a sibling
who is an identical match, the cure rate exceeds 85%.
Another PI disease seen almost exclusively in males, X-linked hyper IgM syndrome involves T-cells.
It is characterized by low levels of 3 classes of antibodies: immunoglobulin G (IgG), immunoglobulin A (IgA),
and immunoglobulin E (IgE). The lack of certain antibody classes makes it difficult for people with this
disorder to fight off infections.
Ataxia telangiectasia is a disease that affects several body systems and worsens over time.
Children with ataxia telangiectasia have impaired motor skills, dilated blood vessels in the
eyes and skin, and frequent sinus and respiratory infections. Immunoglobulin replacement therapy
can be given if a patient has an Ig deficiency.
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a rare type of PI seen in infants and caused by various
genetic defects. Children with SCID may begin to develop normally, but they soon face frequent,
life-threatening infections. The condition is usually addressed with immunoglobulin replacement
therapy until a bone marrow transplant can be arranged. In a type of SCID in which the enzyme
adenosine deaminase (ADA) is lacking, injections of PEG-ADA will keep away recurrent infections.
SCID is still considered a fatal condition if not treated properly.
In this type of PI, phagocytes (white blood cells that engulf germs in order to kill them)
do not work properly. One example is chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a genetic
disease in which phagocytes are unable to make the oxygen-transporting compounds needed to kill
germs. Children with chronic granulomatous disease get frequent infections, lung disease, and
chronic inflammatory conditions. The condition can also cause tumor-like masses called granulomas,
which are white blood cell clusters that accumulate in infected areas after an infection has
disappeared. Children with chronic granulomatous disease are often treated with antibiotic therapy
and/or bone marrow treatments.
The complement system, an important part of the immune system, consists of more than 20 plasma proteins
that work together as part of the body's immune response. Genetic changes that produce a deficiency
of a single complement system protein can disrupt the regulation of the complement system. Certain
PI diseases are associated with complement system deficiency.
Fairly rare even among PI diseases, immunodeficiencies involving the complement system might not
appear until adulthood. In some instances, immunoglobulin replacement therapy may be given to boost the
immune system. In addition, researchers have identified complement concentrates to replace or
supplement some complement components; research is ongoing.

The reason no one is calling you or your sales people back is because your message is boring. It sucks. Let's just get that out of the way. Your message is self-absorbed and self-centered. It's all about your product and it's pretty little features. Let's be real here. We're all sales and marketing people. Let's talk freely. The messages you use to prospect are tired and weak and look like everyone else's including your competition's. That's why your cold call and cold email conversions are so low. Because of this, you and your sales team are wasting serious cycles calling and sending out emails that don't deliver. It's gotta stop.
This is the type of sales email I get all the time:
Dear Keenan,
I'm with Blah, blah, blah, thanks for blah, blah, blah. I'd love to connect with you to share more about how blah, blah, helps companies put sales first with predictive applications for pipeline analytics, forecasting and rep execution. Reply to this email or call me directly blah, blah, blah, blah
This is a real email. It's the most recent I've received. If you can, explain to me why I or anyone, would call this cat back? What's in it for me? What's in it for anyone? How is this a good message designed to get me to respond? I'm not seeing it. And no, I didn't respond.
Or, how about this one?
Hi Jim,
I'll be honest, this is not "another sales pitch" from Sales :) Instead, I'd like to send you a 2-minute demo video of blah, blah, blah's solution: www.ourcoolvideo.com
We are VC backed ($8M Series A) by blah, blah Ventures and our key customers include blah, blah, blah, blah, etc.
One of our core value props is "service for all" and we would like to offer everyone a 1-on-1 with our experts to simply discuss best practices (reducing churn, structuring your customer-focused team, increasing up-sells, etc).
Who is the best person to speak with ? Let us know if there's someone else who heads up those efforts.
Non Sales Person
I can't believe companies send this stuff out. They actually lie in the beginning, saying this is not another sales pitch. At least this one talked about a few of the "benefits" like reduces churn and increasing upsells, but again, this prospecting email falls flat and here's why — it's not intriguing.
To capture attention and get buyers to call you back, you have to interrupt their expectation and catch them off guard. You have to surprise them with something they didn't know.
Here's the deal. There is actually a science to getting someones interesting and it works like this.
Our brains spend hours, days, weeks, months and years establishing patterns of those things around us. As we do our jobs and live our lives, our mind scans our daily surroundings and maps out patterns. These patterns then become predictable.
Our subconscious mind embraces these patterns as the norm and tunes them out. These patterns are captured by our orbital frontal cortex (OFC). By embedding these consistent patterns in our subconscious, our conscious mind focuses on the bigger, more pertinent information coming in. In essence, by identifying patterns the OFC allows our conscious mind to work more efficiently, ignoring the little, redundant information we are inundated with everyday.
What's happening is we are programmed to tune stuff out. Ignoring superfluous distractions helps us to be productive. This human productivity tool has a negative effect on sales people however. We get tuned out! Yes, until proven otherwise, your sales team is superfluous.
To capture a prospect's attention and avoid being superfluous, you have to disrupt their pattern of thinking. You have to get their subconscious to say, "Hey! What's that? That's not what I was expecting." When this happens our sub-conscious sends a message to our OFC that says "Hey, this isn't right. You need to take notice. Stop right now and check this out." When you can make that happen with your prospects, you're in the drivers seat. They are now paying attention.

City to complete four-way stop at Santa Fe and Del Mar intersection
CORPUS CHRISTI - Drivers soon will be required to stop their vehicles on Santa Fe Street at Del Mar Boulevard in an attempt to prevent wrecks at the intersection.
The stop signs along Santa Fe are expected to be in place by Jan. 16 along with rumble strips and white stripes on the pavement to alert drivers, City Traffic Engineer Charlie Cardenas said. He postponed the start, set for this week, because larger stop signs were needed to bring attention to the intersection.
Neighbors hope the four-way stop will reduced the number of accidents. Nine occurred during 2012, an increase from two reported wrecks in 2011. Many accidents involved a car crossing in front of traffic along Santa Fe Street, a popular four-lane collector road where the speed limit is 35 mph.
The most recent on Dec. 22 sent a Chevrolet Suburban careening through a bus stop and into a brick post on Tony Hauglum's Del Mar property after one driver ignored a stop sign at Del Mar and hit an SUV traveling along Santa Fe Street, he said. It prompted him to contact city traffic engineers who had been studying the intersection for more than a year.
"Things were out of hand," he said.
City engineers agreed something needed to be done.
"We've got to take action now," Cardenas said. "What can we do now to save someone's life? It boils down to we can put a stop sign there to save a life."
The safest short-term solution was to create a four-way stop. A permanent option would be adding a traffic light, but that is expensive with the average cost about $200,000, Cardenas said. At least one person has complained that the signs will cause traffic to bottleneck.
Councilman David Loeb, who lives on Del Mar Boulevard, said he's never had problems at the intersection, but he favors the stop signs if it will help reduce crashes.
"If it costs me an extra 15 seconds to avoid nine people being T-boned at that intersection, than it's probably worth my time," he said.
Traffic along Santa Fe and Del Mar Boulevard has increased in recent years mostly because of commuter traffic, Cardenas said. Those who work downtown who use Santa Fe to avoid traffic or road construction on neighboring arterial roads, including Ocean Drive, Alameda and Staples streets.
The latest traffic count showed about 1,350 cars a day pass through Del Mar at that intersection and about 6,500 cars passing a day on Santa Fe near the intersection.
Santa Fe is intended to be used for those who live in the adjacent neighborhoods, not those traveling across town. It wasn't built to handle as much traffic as arterial streets, like Ocean Drive.
Vehicles traveling faster than the posted speed limit of 35 mph may have caused the increase in accidents. The speeding can make it more difficult for drivers crossing Santa Fe on Del Mar, Cardenas said.
Santa Fe may have more traffic in the coming months. Construction along Shoreline Boulevard is expected to begin in the spring to reroute a stretch of the scenic drive away from the bay, as voters agreed to in the 2008 Bond election. The construction will detour commuter traffic.
Another change ahead for Santa Fe, expected in the next year or so, is reducing the number of lanes from four to three with bike lanes in each direction. The change is a part of the city's master plan adopted under a new set of sustainability ordinances that provide access for alternate forms of transportation.
Hauglum, whose family has lived in a house on the corner for the past 11 years, said he's never seen so many accidents at the intersection. Often, he's seen drivers ignore the stop sign at Del Mar. He believes the wreck last month may have been prevented if a four-way stop was in place. The driver on Santa Fe maybe would have seen the car blowing past the stop sign, he said.
"I can't help but think there are situations like that, that would avoid an accident and cause people to notice what's going on," he said.
After the signs are installed, a speed counter device also will be set up to calculate how fast drivers are traveling and display it on a screen facing traffic. That should help draw attention, Cardenas said.

Firefox 220.127.116.11 Corrects Latest Release
The Mozilla Foundation has departed from its normal release cycle to fix several bugs and the remaining security holes in version 220.127.116.11 of the Firefox web browser.
Based on a test performed by Linux Magazine, the vulnerabilities that version 188.8.131.52 failed to fix (see the separate news item here) still seem to exist in 22.214.171.124. As previously, it is possible to hide part of the source code, preventing users from viewing the code in "View Page Source". This means that attackers still have the ability to hide malicious code in their websites. The vulnerability also affects older Firefox versions and can be used to crash these versions.
According to the release notes version 18.104.22.168 removes all the bugs that were discovered in the previous version. The developers write that Firefox is now more stable and reliable than ever.
The Mozilla web browser is available for downloading for all supported platforms. And Netscape Navigator, which is now based on Firefox, has been updated too. Users can download version 184.108.40.206. Just like its open source siblings, Navigator is also affected by the above mentioned bugs.

Headphones / Speaker advice
I would to have a sound system such that I can connect my Ipod and play it through speakers but also be able to listen on headphones at the same time. Can anybody make any recommendations on the best way to do this? Maybe a small PA system is the best option?
Re: Headphones / Speaker advice
I use a Fender Passport 500 Pro in my home studio. I leave it set up and ready to plug into.
It is also great when singers come over to jam.
I also use a Nady PM200A powered monitor as a personal monitor.
I connect it to the 'stereo out" plug on the Passport and use it as a stage monitor or I play my iPod right into the Nady.
See links below.
Re: Headphones / Speaker advice
Thanks for the reply. I was considering a Fender Passport. Could I play my Ipod through the speakers and then at the same time use headphones? Would I just plug the headphones into the stereo out on the Passport? I thought that maybe I could do this but I was reading on the Fender forums where somebody said they had trouble with this. They said that they could barely hear the sound in the headphones.
Re: Headphones / Speaker advice
You would need a headphone amp. They are small and inexpensive. They can handle multiple sets of phones.
I own this one by Rolls. http://www.zzounds.com/item--RLLHA43
I also use the Rolls to amplify the headphone output on my e-kit brain.
If you buy the Nady powered monitor that I mentioned you can plug your phones right into that also.
I use the Nady when I gig as my stage monitor. I put it on a heavy duty 3 leg mic stand. It works great and I can control my own monitor volume and EQ.
I have a bluetooth receiver hooked to my Passport that allows me to wirelessly transmit sound from my laptop too.
The Passport is great for small room work. It has excellent feedback control and many features that make it easy and practical to use without fussing about.
I added a 10" powered subwoofer to my Passport fromJBL. It sounds awesome!
Re: Headphones / Speaker advice
Great. Thanks for the help!
