In a recent NY Post report, and various reports throughout the year, there is growing speculation that former New York Ranger and future Hall of Famer Jaromir Jagr is considering a comeback to the NHL.
First and foremost, let me reiterate that this is all pure speculation and aside from a few "Jagr-esque" quotes, tongue-in-cheek and filled with mystery, there is little foundation to suggest that there is a legitimate chance that he returns to North America.
What we do know is that Jagr's KHL contract expires following this season and there is no clause or option for additional years, making him a completely unrestricted free agent. This could equally enable him to return to the NHL freely as well as re-sign with a KHL team.
There are certain challenges facing the KHL now, namely from a financial perspective. Is the league viable? It remains to be seen whether the poor global economy combined with the second-teir talent will allow the KHL to continue. Nonetheless, Jagr is their biggest icon and his presence means a great deal to their visibility and, inevitably, their viability.
Should Jagr leave, it would send a huge message as to the quality and future of the KHL and it's players. It would also significantly decline any leverage the KHL would try to muster in reaching a transfer agreement with the NHL. If the league is no good for Jagr, why would any European player of consequence play there? Furthermore, what about the good second-line talent that is there now?
Take recent Ranger Nik Zherdev.
Is he likely to remain overseas if the league loses it's top star? One argument is that a young player like Zherdev could garner more money if Jagr leaves because the KHL will be forced to hold onto it's top talents. The other side of the fence is that the future of the league is simply too unstable without Jagr.
Now, Jagr isn't the entire KHL. Don't get me wrong, the league isn't going to fold tomorrow if Jagr retired today. But it would send a wave and there is no telling just how far that wave could reach.
Amongst the speculation of "if" Jagr could return is, of course, where.
Everyone will have their rumors and sources about places he could go, etc., but in reality, there are very few likely destinations for "The Big Guy."
Edmonton has been linked to Jagr since his final offseason in the NHL. Jagr acknowledged that he was honored to be courted so strongly by them and now that they have former Ranger head coach Tom Renney as part of the coaching staff, that only fuels the fire.
Could Edmonton be a candidate? Sure, but that's because Jagr is a character guy. He genuinely appreciated Edmonton's interest and said countless times that Renney was, by far, his favorite coach.
However, Edmonton is rebuilding. Couple that with an intense travel schedule and it doesn't bode well for a 38-year-old returning NHL veteran.
In fact, I would go as far as to eliminate the west coast entirely just for that reason. Jagr isn't stupid. He knows that his best chance for longevity during the season comes from east coast travel. Remember, Jagr is a workout fanatic and has always prided himself on staying healthy and not missing games. He wouldn't want to jeopardize that now.
There is also the factor of being a contender. The Eastern Conference is less cut and dry than the west, but there are certain teams who standout.
The first team that comes to mind is the Pittsburgh Penguins. Jagr also acknowledged the intrigue of having his career come full circle and, out of respect for his former mentor, should Mario Lemieux come calling, Jagr would come running. Pittsburgh is also short on right wingers, which would make the scenario that much more likely.
Many people will also point to the opportunity for Jagr to play with All-Star Sidney Crosby. However, Jagr was very critical of Crosby in his final season in the NHL. Could that just be water under the bridge? Not so sure.
You can eliminate Washington and Philadelphia because Jagr would never play for a Penguins rival nor would he return to that D.C. massacre.
Aside from the Capitals, there are no other legitimate threats in the Southeast Division for Jagr to consider playing for. Perhaps the Tampa Bay Lightning are nearing the contender status, but their shaky ownership situation wouldn't lend itself to bringing in a former All-Star.
In the Northeast Division, the Ottawa Senators, Buffalo Sabres and Boston Bruins are all playoff contenders, but would they present an attractive option for Jagr? Buffalo lacks the star atmosphere that, make no mistake about it, Jagr relishes. They are also thin up front without any clear player for him to mesh with.
Ottawa is a big market, has some offensive flair, and could prove to be a good match. Yet, like Tampa Bay, they are a volatile franchise and seemingly can rattle off 15 losses as quickly as they can string together record-setting wins. Besides, I just can't see Jagr in that jersey.
Boston is a traditional market with a rich history. They also have some expiring contracts that would allow them to reshape the team around Jagr in the offseason. But, again, I just can't see Jagr wearing that brown and yellow. And if Marc Savard doesn't re-sign, they have a major conundrum at center, given Patrice Bergeron's health and David Krejci's contract status.
This leaves us with a couple Atlantic Division teams. The New York Islanders have made some positive steps, but are still a couple seasons away from contending for a championship. Their risky ownership situation also questions their longevity.
The New Jersey Devils have a history of success and with their recent acquisition of Ilya Kovalchuk exemplified that they are committed to winning now.
Yet, Jagr isn't a GM Lou Lamoriello-type. True, neither is Kovalchuk, but if the Devils are looking to retain the former Atlanta Thrasher, they aren't going to consider Jagr as well. He did show the ability to play two-way hockey under Renney, but that may not be enough to convince Lou.
Besides, Jagr couldn't be that close to NYC and play for a half-empty stadium each night with 18,200 fans at MSG one train stop away.
Of course, that leaves us with the Rangers.
The first question is whether Jagr could mesh with Head Coach John Tortorella. I doubt it, just based on personality. Then again, it would be an offense-first system which suits Jagr and there is no question that Tortorella is looking for more leadership from his locker room.
Jagr would provide that.
With Marian Gaborik, the Rangers already have their stud right winger, which would relegate No. 68 to the second line. This may not be the worst thing considering it would present an opportunity to pair young center Artem Anisimov with Jagr and perhaps upcoming left winger Evgeny Grachev.
That would be a terrific combination to watch should it evolve.
Would Jagr want to play with two rookies? Not sure, but he did get along quite well with Brandon Dubinsky, which is always a possible reunion.
And Jagr loved New York. He made no qualms about it that he always wanted to be there and relished the time when it presented itself. The "Big Guy" fit well in the "Big City" and the fanbase adored him. Each of these could be a considerable factor for Jagr.
Then again, the Rangers aren't at the same echelon as the Penguins and are still a bit away from being considered contenders. Jagr would bring them closer to contender status, but he couldn't be the lone offseason transaction.
In all likelihood, Jagr will choose between Pittsburgh and New York. It wouldn't make sense for him to add another team to his resume at this point in his career nor would it make sense for him to venture to a non-contender.
It'll provide interesting debate and internet fodder through this summer, but keep it in perspective. As Jagr said, "whatever happens, happens."

Howard Still in the Mix?
"Now that Rasheed Wallace is in the house, continuing the Knicks' trend of adding players over 30, it only begs the question: Are they still looking to increase their average age?
According to a source close to free agent Josh Howard, the Knicks are still interested in the 32-year-old swingman and have had recent conversations with his representatives.
The Knicks first inquired about Howard last month, but if they're serious about adding him now, they'll have to cut one of their players with a non-guaranteed contract, which applies to training camp only. Currently, the Knicks have 20 training camp invites (including Wallace), which is the maximum amount allowed per team."
Tommy DeeI thought Howard made more sense to begin with as it looks like they will see if Wallace can make the squad. If Howard's knee is near 100% I think he can contribute a lot as the team's second SF. And as we've said the Knicks are looking to add depth at the wing spot. But if they sign Howard, where would that leave Steve Novak?

Get Your Summer Body On: Choosing the Right Shoes for Your Workout
The months just before and during summer are the best to be active. Longer days mean more hours of sunlight after you've put in your 9-to-5 at work. Barbeques, the beach and summer sun – who doesn't want to be outside and look good while doing it? Gearing up can be expensive, but not when you can get brand name discount shoes. If you're not yet at your summertime prime, here's a list of the best footwear that'll help get you from flab to fab in no time. If you're a beginner, big name and big dollar shoes are best left to the experts. Stick with the basics. Comfort, quality and practicality are what you need.
If running is your sport of choice, there are three main categories of shoes to explore.
Motion Control Running Shoes
Look into these if you have a low arch or flat feet. Motion control running shoes are designed to counteract the natural inward rotation (overpronation) that commonly afflicts runners with low arches. These shoes tend to be more rigid and bulky – their structure helps prevent the excessive rotation that often times leads to injuries.
With its firm midsole and rigid structure, the New Balance WR1012 is a great option when it comes to motion control running shoes.
Stability Running Shoes
These shoes are the Goldilocks of running shoes – not too firm and not too cushioned – they're just right. Designed for runners with a normal instep, that is, not too arched and not too flat, stability running shoes enlist only moderate control features.
|A great shoe for the normal-footed runner, the Nike Lunarlite+ 2 is lighter than its motion control counterpart, but maintains a high level of support and cushioning.
Cushioned Running Shoes
This one might be pretty self explanatory. Look to cushioned running shoes for relief if you have high arches. The increased cushioning in these shoes allows for greater support and shock absorption that aren't naturally provided by high-arch insteps.
|K Swiss Tubes Run 100 are perfect for the job. Enhanced flexibility is achieved by the anatomically correct flex-grooves. The cushioned midsole is complimented and enhanced by the feature that gives this shoe its name – the tubes.
If you enjoy taking your exercise with a dose of fresh air and a side of nature, then hiking is probably where your next adventure lies. For the light to moderate hiker who enjoys day hikes, or weekend backpacking trips where you may be carrying light loads, a hiking boot with a mid or high cut is ideal. These kinds of boots can be moderately flexible, and are perfect for ankles that are prone to rolling.
Take a look at the Hi Tec Total Terrain Mid WP for durable waterproof construction and comfort.
If you're gnarly enough to tackle CrossFit, you deserve a shoe that can keep up. You want to look for a shoe that's lightweight (think lots of mesh), durable (let's face it, these shoes are going to be put through the ultimate test of quality) and has a neutral (or close to) drop from the heel to the toe. This neutral drop increases ankle and knee stability and decreases your chances of getting hurt.
|Start with a shoe that was named one of the best CrossFit shoes of 2012, the New Balance WX20.
So go on, get out there and tackle your Summer get-fit routine. No matter what your workout obsession, you've got a good idea of where to start when choosing the footwear that will keep you comfortable and coming back for more.
Let us know how you get fit for summer in the comments below, on our Facebook page or via Twitter. You can also check out tips, tricks and videos on our Pinterest page!

You can jump in at any time and you can skip topics that you don't like. There are no rules, it's all about getting your memories down on paper. The prompts are here as a guide to help if you are stuck for ideas.
What was your first full-time job? I don't mean summer work as a student or baby-sitting after school or part-time work. I mean full-time, your first "real" job as an independent adult. How old were you? Where did you live - alone? At home? With friends or family?
I was 19 years old and living in the big city of Toronto Ontario. I lived with my mother's elderly unmarried cousin on the outskirts of the city. I don't remember how I found this job or submitting an application but somehow I managed to get myself hired as an assistant bookkeeper to the Chief Accountant for a huge Canada-wide Mortgage Company.
It was very exciting as I worked in a huge office building right in the heart of downtown Toronto. Mind you it took almost 2 hours to get to work, and several changes from bus to streetcar to subway to get there but I was 19 and full of energy and adrenalin and excitement.
|Lorine in a mini-skirt
It didn't take long on the job before I was the official coffee girl. Every morning around 10 am I left the building and took a short walk to a nearby cafe where I placed the order for coffees and danishes for about a dozen executives. I actually enjoyed it as it got me out of the office and away from the glare of my trainer!
Next they decided I would fill in at lunch for the receptionist. I liked that too as I got to answer the phones. There was a huge bank of flashing lights with names and numbers beside them and a phone cradled on the left. A light would flash when the phone rang, I'd answer then I'd put the caller on hold while I pushed the appropriate button for whatever executive or secretary the caller wanted.
|IBM Keypunch Machine & Operator
After 6 months my job consisted of keeping the ledgers for my boss, the Chief Accountant, plus coffee girl, plus noon hour receptionist plus payroll for all the Canadian offices! I had to walk to another building about 2 blocks away to sit in a horrible dingy little cupboard to use my keypunch machine to track all the employees Canada-wide and fill out their payroll cards.
I hated it! And I didn't have enough hours in the day to complete my assigned tasks. I'd go in early, around 8 am (which meant leaving my cousin's home at 6 am), work all day without a break, take a quick nibble of a sandwich around 6 pm then work until 11 or midnight. Then I'd head home. Being pretty naive, I complained to my boss. Repeatedly. I foolishly thought the company would relieve me of some duties or they'd hire another person to help. My boss informed me the company wasn't pleased at all the overtime I was submitting and that my job began at 9 and ended at 5. And I better get the work done in that allotted time.
But I kept complaining that I couldn't do it, and I soon found out that the person who complains constantly gets the boot. After another few months, my boss called me into his office and told me I was fired. I was stunned!
Later I found out that the company hired two girls to take my place - a separate one for payroll and keypunching and one for my original position of assistant bookkepper/coffee girl/part-time receptionist.
At first I was devastated - fired! How could I ever hold my head up? But eventually I realized it probably all came down to his trusted second hand disliking me and disapproving of my clothes plus me not knowing enough to stop complaining. I never was quiet and shy and always had trouble keeping my opinions to myself. C'est la vie!

Looking forward to comming to Bristol, hope no more Gromits have been smach, so wrong on many levels.
Heading to Bristol, got my railway ticket`s can`t wait for Saturday.
Had a great time in Bristol,couldn`t find all the Gromit`s with been new to the town, plus every time we saw the Gromit maps in shop windows, though great, got one at last, but no, they had run out as well, but thanks to the staff in the shopping centre, we find quite a though, plus Morgh,
"You can also buy ceramic figurines from the Gromit Unleashed online store" - No you can't. The figurines are drip-fed to the online store and you are expecting people from all over England to drive to your Bristol store first thing on a Saturday morning to guarantee purchasing one if it happens to be available. I've been waiting 4 months for one of the "available" figurines and I wanted it for Christmas but I'll be lucky if I get it for next Christmas!
Hi SwindonDJ - sorry to hear you've had problems purchasing a figurine. Each figurine is hand painted and the demand has been so high that it has been difficult to keep the stock levels high.
The good news is that the figurines will continue to be produced for the forseeable future - we would recommend signing up for the Gromit Unleashed newsletter and Gromit Unleashed Facebook page, where there are weekly updates about stock in the physical and online stores.

How to Carry More Stuff on a Bike
Once in a while, it's nice to be able to blend into the crowd, especially for those who could use a break from being constantly digitally connected. But even away from the computer, it seems, we can't escape our digital personas (and not only when prospective employers stumble into embarrassing online photos). "People are losing control of their own information," Ginger McCall, the Open Government Counsel for the Electronic Privacy Information Center says.
Using currently available facial recognition technology, Alessandro Acquisti of Carnegie Mellon University has shown that he can link people (in this case, student volunteers) to their Facebook profiles within 3 seconds, just by photographing their face. For the experiment, Acquisti and his team built a cloud-based database of CMU students using publicly available pictures and their associated information on Facebook, complete with images, names, hometowns, occupations and other identifying features. After researchers took a volunteer's picture, the facial recognition software matched the person in the image with their online identity via the database.
The demonstration involved only a finite population at the university, and it took some skill to pull together the technologies. But as facial recognition software gets more accurate, cloud computing abilities expand and connection times get faster, the ability to ID that stranger across the room gets easier and easier—especially now that Facebook changed its policy to require that all profile pictures and names be public and therefore searchable. In the U.K., for example, the Metropolitan Police have tried to use an approach much like Acquisti's to identify suspects who were photographed during the recent riots in London, and Scotland Yard is streamlining its facial recognition techniques in anticipation of policing the 2012 London Olympics.
Facial recognition software isn't just for law enforcement, either. In addition to Acquisti's experiment, there are many other places where facial recognition software is finding a home—some a little creepy, some downright strange and some in which the software recognizes images beyond human faces.
The website findyourfacemate.com is a narcissist's dream. Where other dating sights like eHarmony or Match.com might connect people based on compatibility surveys, this site, launched in March, purports to match people based primarily on "facial compatibility."

Can you post the contents of your lilo.conf?
Hello, I have Mandy 10 beta 2 installed, and I can't seem to boot windows. Mandy uses lilo, and the windows entry in it looks the same as in my slack's lilo, and that works...however, whenever i try to use it, it just goes to a blank screen with just the little DOS _ blinking and never goes anywhere from that...any ideas?
Can you post the contents of your lilo.conf?

What happens if you reinstall lilo by doing
the usual:
very strange...Code:lilo Added linux * Added linux-nonfb Added windows Added floppy Added old_linux Added old_linux-nonfb Added 261-1 Added failsafe
I had that happen to me once, and it was kind of a corrupt boot sector. However, I do not know if this is your case. I'd say to
A)Make a rescue disk for your system.
B)From a DOS bootdisk, do fdisk/mbr, then reboot and boot into windows.
C)Reboot into your linux rescue disk, and reinstall lilo.
well, i tried it, and when i was reinstalling lilo, it said lilo was trying to name the windows partition something thats not compatible with NT os's cuz it said it would cause a fatal error...
humms. i would go with grub i guess.

Gurit sales fall 34% in first half, Ebitda plunges 90%
August 23, 2013 | Michael Ravenscroft
Gurit (Zürich) says its operating profit in the first half of 2013 shrank to 0.6 million Swiss francs ($0.65 million), compared with a "strong" operating profit of SF17.2 million in the corresponding period in 2012, a fall of 97%. The operating profit in first-half 2013 included a one-time impairment charge of net SF2.9 million. Gurit states that it made a loss in the period of SF2.4 million, after an income tax exemption of SF2.5 million. Ebitda for the first six months of 2013 declined to SF1.7 million, versus a "strong" SF16.8 million...

I like Hockey (not a *huge* fan but enjoy the sport). Is the AHL syndicated at all?
The last wolves game I went to was funny as hell. If they weren't always on the penalty kill, they probably would've won.
I like Hockey (not a *huge* fan but enjoy the sport). Is the AHL syndicated at all?
I honestly don't know much about it, except that The Wolves win a lot.
So do the Admirals. ;D
AHL is NOW the minor league for the NHL. Originally it was another league, like the AFL/NFL were back in the day. Now each AHL team is tied to a NHL team for player "upgrades". A player can only play for 5 or 7 seasons for the AHL, and can be upgraded to NHL or downgraded back at any time. So if a player is acting like shit, he can be sent to the AHL, and if he doesnt improve he will end up getting traded for piss change or end up retiring.
Better now than before in many ways. Unfortunately the good teams lose players quickly and for good usually. Only a small number of Admirals got promoted and demoted.

Help Us Fund an Exciting Documentary on the Consumer/Survivor Movement
Help Mental Health America Fund our Exciting Video Documentary, From Asylums to Recovery – The Fight for Civil Rights and Humane Treatment for People in the Mental Health Care System, on Kickstarter.com at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/444093483/from-asylums-to-recovery-a-documentary.
The documentary is a compelling history of the Consumer/Survivor Movement in the United States from 1960 to the present. It is the incredible story of the ongoing emergence of thousands of people who have been pushed to the margins of society because of the gross misunderstanding of the "normal" world about the true nature of psychiatric disorders.
Please visit our project pages on Kickstarter and donate whatever you can to ensure that this important story is brought into the light. Please share the link with friends and family and urge them to join us in producing this incredible documentary. Our goal is to raise $65,000 to finish the project, and any additional donations can only help to create a more powerful video. This project will only be on Kickstarter for 45 days, so please go to our page right away and make your donation so that we can build some momentum in our fundraising efforts. That is the way crowdfunding works.
On the Kickstarter site, you can watch our 90-second trailer and also link to the first 24 minutes of the overall project. We have edited the first section to cover the years 1960 to 1985 and are using it as a stand-alone mini-documentary for fundraising and educational purposes. This section will be edited into the finished one-hour documentary.
To help fund this incredible project, go to https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/444093483/from-asylums-to-recovery-a-documentary.

Reviews for White Texas Sheet Cake
Sort By :
"This cake is absolutely fantastic! A word of advice though, do not prepare the frosting until the cake comes out of the oven. It sets up very quickly and becomes unspreadable - I learned this the hard way. Every time I serve this I get overwhelmingly good reactions. So, so good."
"If you are looking for a substitute for the chocolate version of a texas sheet cake this is a good recipe. The cake is very moist. I had trouble with the icing being too thick to spread. The almond flavor is strong so I would suggest putting it only in the icing or the cake, not both. Next time I would like to try using vanilla instead of almond flavoring."
"I first got this recipe from one of the Reiman Publications. I have subscribed to several. It is a favorite of family and co-workers. The almond flavor is stronger the next day so I make this ahead of time. I use sliced almonds instead of walnuts."
"This was quite good, not as moist as i would like but the flavor was very good! I did make it twice and added an extra egg the second time, which helped with the moistness."
"absolutely fantastic, and although I have almond extract I keep vanilla on the counter, so I used that instead. I was almost out of powdered sugar, so it wasn't as sweet a frosting as it could have been, which allowed me to have a taste. That was super exciting. Can't wait to bring it to work. The leaving it out overnight, is really a good tip. It does get better the longer it sits."

By RICHARD SHAWFocus page editor
Super Bowl Sunday means football, or at least that is what it started out as in 1967. But after 36 years of evolution it has come to mean a lot more than just the game. Part of that is due to tradition, part of it is due the way the business of professional football has changed and part is also a condition of what has happened to our society.
In recent years Super Bowl Sunday has taken on similar proportions to many other holidays, even though it isn't officially one at all. For some it is a holiday; they take the week before on vacation and the week after as well. Those are usually the football groupies who follow the game every year to the city it is in, regardless of whether the teams that are playing are their favorites or not. Some even go to the city it is being held in, despite the fact they don't have tickets to the event. Instead, they and a group of their friends, sit in hotel rooms and sports bars and watch the game on television.
For some families the game is a great time to get everyone together and have some good natured fun and food. Homes across the country are filled with New Year's like parties, yet the difference is that seldom do all the people present agree on which team is best so at best it is a less loving holiday than bringing in the millennium was.
For the non-football fan there are some great diversions also. Almost always, the television stations that are not covering the game have a huge array of great movies or ice skating on them. Keep a room aside (far from the boom of the surround sound system where the game is being shown) so those who don't want to see the game or are sad because their team is getting blown out can go there and convalesce.
The other option for those who don't like to watch is to go out. Restaurants (other than sports bars) will be uncrowded, malls will be empty and the big box stores will generally have short lines. In short it can be a shopping holiday too.
Regardless it is a big day for social fun with family and friends. And just like any holiday, each family and group have their own traditions, with new kinds of fun found every year.
So have fun Super Bowling.

Product Test: Silicone Lid
The Silicone lid is called Put a Lid on It. We bought it on sale at TJ Maxx for $1.00. Yep. A buck. We have found it on a variety of websites for around 6-dollars.
The product goes right on top of a cup or bowl or even a can. The silicone suctions to the cup so much so that you can lift it right up.
Our tester, Nance thought it was a dumb idea at first until she actually tried it. She ended up loving it. She gave the product two thumbs up.

Rate Dr. Andrew Y. Lee
Dr. Andrew Y. Lee's Ratings
In about 2009 ( forgot the exact year ), my wife needed her wisdom teeth extracted. Our primary dentist, Dr Irvani in Lake Forest ( CA ), recommended Dr Lee in that one tooth were near a nerve and sinus space. The 4-tooth extraction was accomplished quickly and painlessly. His Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA)performed the IV conscious sedation without any problems and was thorough in getting my wife's medical history which was important in that she [ wife ] has a neurological medical condition. Post-op f/u was excellent to check progress of pt. No post-op infection or other complications whatsoever. Rx'ed meds were adequate to handle the post-op discomfort. Granted, tooth extractions are no fun, but when you need a professional, we would recommend & trust Dr Lee 100%. To date, which is now December 2012, the extracted teeth problem has totally been resolved with no problems.

On Oct.11 of last year, the Sun
Advocate printed a letter from me with the title: "Cones Not For Them".
It described, in brief, that two ladies had taken pine cones from my late mother, Carol Ann Adams, memorial tree--the cones were intended for my siblings to plant a 'Mom tree' of their own.
I am very pleased to report that one day, I noticed that my pine tree had 'grown' plenty of cones. Upon further inspection, I saw that these cones had been carefully returned to the tree by the use of fine green wires.
Thank you so much for printing my letter, and thanks to the anonymous 'tree angels'...I feel lucky to live in our community--we live in a place small in population, and big in heart and soul.

Jamich Announces Engagement - Jamvhille Sebastian and Paolinne Michelle Liggayu are Gonna Tie the Knot Soon
May 20, 2014 /
Jamvhille Sebastian and Paolinne Michelle Liggayu better known as Jamich are now engaged. The famous YouTube tandem and real life couple's announcement went viral after Paoline Michelle uploaded a video on YouTube where she proposes to Jam with the help of her friends, their families, as well as Bro. Bo Sanchez.
In the emotional video, Pao (Paolinne Michelle) left Jam on his seat and went backstage to prepare for her memorable act. An audio-visual presentation then plays off the big screen with Pao's voice over in it.
The clueless Sebastian, who currently suffers a Stage 4 Lung Cancer, starts getting emotional as he watches the video. Suddenly, Pao came on the stage and started her speech. As she talks about their love story, the teary-eyed Pao walks down the stage and approached her boyfriend who's then sitting beside his mother. The two got emotional as Paolinne began telling Jam her sweetest lines.
"Jamvhille Fernando Sebastian, will you be my happily ever after?"
|Screengrab from YouTube via JamichTV
"Sa mga hindi po nakakaalam, may sakit po ako. May cancer po ako. Wala pong ginawa ang girlfriend ko (Pao) kundi alagaan ako 24/7. Lagi syang nasa tabi ko. Sana lang pag gumaling ako, ako naman ang mag-aalaga sa kanya habang buhay."
The overwhelmed Sebastian then took his part and asked Liggayu,
"Pao, will you marry me?"His girlfriend quickly responded,
"Of course yes."The two were lauded by the crowd with applause. While the wedding date of Jamich is still uncertain at the moment, only one thing's for sure, they'll be tying the knot soon.

Folding Corner Bookshelf 3 3
EXCELLENT PIECE OF FURNITURE I WAS SURPRISED. DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO BE SOLID WOOD. VERY EASY TO ASSEMBLE, SHELVES FOLD INTO PLACE, VERY STURDY. I USE THE TOP TWO SHELVES FOR A DOCKING STATION FOR MY ELECTRONICS AND THE OTHER TWO FOR PLANTS. December 27, 2013
Corner Shelves I purchased 2 of these. (1) One had a chip in the wood. and (2) the other one a bent shelf support hook, which I straighten out with pliers. If these were made in USA, they would be better made and I would have given them 6 out of 5 stars. July 11, 2013
Just what I wanted! I've been looking for something for the corner of our dining room. We don't spend that much time in there, but it's where the Christmas tree goes each year. If I got something too big, it would be tough to move it out for the tree, and where would I put it anyway? We got the Vermont Country store email, and the folding corner bookshelf was just what I wanted. It was easy to set up, looks great and I'm so happy with it. July 11, 2013

text: Last week, the north pedestrian underpass in Helper under U.S. Highway 6 was closed while construction crews worked on the new Helper interchange. According to Utah Department of Transportation, the transit tunnel is once again open, but may be intermittently closed during the construction scheduled for completion in 2007. If it is closed, pedestrians should use the southern tunnel on Hill Street to cross the highway. A second alternate is planned for construction near the North Main Street crossing where Hardscrabble Creek crosses the highway.

Unlike in years past, this particular fall fashion season offers a bevy of styles and silhouettes from which to rake in the inspiration. It's exciting to say the least! On one end of the sartorial garden of delights, there's an intense and elegant focus on streamlined minimalism. At the other end, designers are indulging in a decadent aesthetic that is equally enticing. And, as if that's not enough, there are also a slew of rich and exciting microtrend options popping up in between! Of course, since turning over a new leaf with a different look every day can be simultaneously thrilling and overwhelming, we found six stunning ladies with truly laudable personal style to help you harvest the season's best ensembles. Whether they're demonstrating how to take a denim-on-denim outfit to the next level by adding au courant winter coat, executing a well-calculated risk with a patterned poncho, or arranging their off-duty essentials for a winning cold-weather look, these flawless stalkees are top-notch prototypes of what to wear as the weather turns colder. So without further ado, we bring you the newest members of our uber chic Style Stalker set and hope that they inspire you to make this fall the season to try it all!
Full, feminine, mid-calf length skirts are so chic right now.
One of our favorite new silhouettes for fall is the mid-calf skirt, so we were thrilled when we came across Megan, 23, from Manhattan Beach, and her full, burgundy version! Her hero skirt is a spot-on selection for the present fashion season and its wonderful wine hue looks lovely with simple black accents. Try snagging some of Megan's ladylike sophistication by opting for ASOS' White Wool Midi Skirt ($126)Â--which can also be worn with tights when the weather turns colderÂ--with Ever's Akron Solid Blouse ($178). Admittedly, the skirt's refined style can be a bit girly, so take a tip from Megan and accent it with loads of your favorite bangles and an Alexa Chung-inspired boot-and-sock combo to keep it youthful and fresh!
A minimalist ensemble calls for a small pop of bright color.
We're major fans of the head-to-toe neutral minimalist look, so we truly appreciate how Yara, 21, from Amsterdam, personalized this aesthetic by incorporating a strategic pop of color. Her yellow sandals inject her outfit with a sense of vibrancy and render the total equation noteworthy and unique. To recreate Yara's transitional-weather ensemble, we suggest opting for Riller & Font's Jenny Kimono T-Shirt Dress ($132) or American Apparel's Sheer Jersey Dress ($48) under Silence & Noise's Chiffon Open Jacket ($68), which boasts refined waterfall draping similar to Megan's iteration. After that, slip your feet into Miss Me's Rhea 2 Wedge Sandals ($60) for that bright and colorful finishing touch.
Simple trousers look quite cool styled with a sweatshirt.
When we came across the ensemble Liz, 23, from San Francisco, put together we were immediately hooked! Her trouser pants-plus-casual sweatshirt mix is so very MOD, while her bohemian accessories add a chic and festive touch to her closet staples. In order to attain Liz's brand of understated cool, pair American Apparel's Unisex Drop Shoulder French Terry Sweatshirt ($48)Â--making sure to artfully roll the sleeves, of courseÂ--with Alice + Olivia's Wide Waistband Pants ($165). Then all you need to master Liz's flawless look is a few carefully selected finishing touches. We suggest a lovely headscarf, like Talbot's Floral Border Scarf ($54), and an eye-catching statement necklace, such as Suzanna Dai's Sedona Necklace ($395)!
A classic coat in caramel hues is an elegant choice for fall.
Denim-on-denim has become a go-to look for the fashion-forward set, but we like how The Stylish Wanderer, 15, from Los Angeles, personalized this ensemble. Her ladylike winter coat and purple peep-toe heels echo the refined looks seen on the fall runways, while the casual base keeps the outfit youthful and light. In order to replicate the Stylish Wanderer's (ahem) stylish look, start with denim essentials by pairing Madewell's Campfire Cargo Shirt ($69.50) in Cornflower Wash with Paige Denim's Jimmy Jimmy Skinny Jeans ($179). Next, use this season's inclination toward classic lines and invest in a winter coat you'll have forever, like the Three Quarter Felt Coat ($645) from Theory. Or, pick up a more wallet-friendly option, such as Spiegel's Cashmere-Blend Robe Coat ($199) in Camel or the Perfect Double Breasted Coat ($395) from Ann Taylor. Finally, slip into Christian Louboutin's Yolanda Pumps ($825)Â--the purple suede is undeniably chicÂ--and you'll have mastered this winter wonderful look.
Slim, cuffed jeans + a girly jacket = a great outfit.
We always appreciate an artful balance of masculine and feminine pieces, so we were excited when we saw Meijia, 24, from Shanghai, and her cool boy-meets-girl mix. Her high-waisted cuffed jeans offer a flattering leg line, while her draped jacket instantly upgrades her tee and jeans. Additionally, we appreciate her use of the season's most sought-after hueÂ--redÂ--to accent her blue-gray palette. To recreate Meijia's ensemble start by tucking American Apparel's Tri-Blend Short Sleeve Track Tee ($20) into the Elson High Rise Straight Jeans ($194) in Durable from Citizens of Humanity and cinch on an of-the-moment belt. We suggest picking up Forever 21's Triple Skinny Belt Set ($7.80) so you can rotate depending on your mood! Finally add a bit of polish with a draped layer. We think Karen Millen's Trench Waterfall Cardigan ($185) is an excellent ladylike pick.
A print poncho or cape looks best worn with neutral accents.
A poncho or cape is always a fun alternative to a jacket or coat, and we love the Southwestern-print version Iris, 27, from the Netherlands, selected to keep cozy.

Facebook Wins WhatsApp Gold
No one is criticizing Facebook for being rash in doling out $19 billion for WhatsApp -- in fact, the acquisition looks like a major coup. With its simplicity and universal appeal, WhatsApp could be the perfect vehicle not only to ensure that Facebook has a strong messaging platform, but also to spur the network's growth in developing markets. As for monetization -- no worries, it will come.
Feb 20, 2014 11:34 AM PT
Facebook on Wednesday announced the acquisition of WhatsApp in a US$19 billion deal geared toward increasing its global connectivity.
The company paid $4 billion in cash, $12 billion worth of Facebook shares and an additional $3 billion in restricted stock to acquire WhatsApp. Facebook was drawn to the company's ability not only to connect mobile users worldwide, but also to sustain rapid growth in a competitive arena.
More than 450 million people use WhatsApp each month, with 70 percent of them active on a given day. WhatsApp is adding more than 1 million new registered users per day.
WhatsApp will maintain its brand and independence going forward, and nothing will change for WhatsApp users as a result of the acquisition, the companies said. As part of the deal, WhatsApp cofounder and CEO Jan Koum will join Facebook's board of directors.
Top Dollar
The $19 billion that Facebook shelled out is worth it, considering that WhatsApp is more than a messaging service, said Brent Csutoras, social media strategist at Kairay Media.
"At first, I was shocked by the $19 billion valuation, even if it is only $3 billion in cash," he told the E-Commerce Times. "However, when you start looking at other valuations for tech companies over the last two years, such as Twitter at nearly $10 billion, you find two important things that have really been essential in a higher-than-normal valuation: user and user data acquisition, and mobile usage."
The investment will pay off, said Csutoras, especially since WhatsApp fits so well into Facebook's core business model.
"The purchase of WhatsApp helps Facebook further accomplish their goal, which is to give people the power to be more connected," he said. "With the growth of mobile, connectivity throughout the world and technology, it is an amazing valuation -- but also an amazing buy for Facebook."
What's Next for WhatsApp
Figuring out how WhatsApp will add to Facebook's bottom line will come slowly, said Arvind Bhatia, an analyst at Sterne Agee.
"WhatsApp is clearly in the very early stages of monetization as management's entire focus currently is user growth and user experience," he told The E-Commerce Times.
WhatsApp's continued growth will be key to its eventual monetization, said Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg a call following announcement of the acquisition.
Global expansion -- not ad sales -- will be the winning strategy, he said.
The money will come once users worldwide turn to WhatsApp for their international connectivity needs, said Trip Chowdhry, senior analyst for Global Equities Research.
"There is the potential here for so much growth in the developing world, because WhatsApp is one of the only applications that runs equally well on feature phones and smartphones, and is fast and simple to use," he told the E-Commerce Times. "This is a very smart and essential acquisition for Facebook."
