Rock the Bells is celebrating 10 years by taking the annual hip-hop tour on the road to the San Francisco, New York and Washington D.C. metro areas, but it will kick off where it startedâ"San Bernardino.
For two days the festival will take over San Manuel Amphitheater in Devore, which has played host to the festival a number of times in the past. The 2013 dates are Saturday, Sept. 7 and Sunday, Sept. 8.
Rock the Bells, which has routinely brought together some of the biggest performances in hip-hop, has two special collaborations booked, too. Wu-Tang Clan, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony will be joined by digital projections of the late ODB and Eazy-E, respectively.
There is one wrinkle in the plan, though. After promoter Guerilla Union announced the appearances, ODBâs widow has issued a cease and desist order against using her late husbandâs likeness.
Another artist to note on the lineup is Hit-Boy, of Fontana, who won a Grammy this year and has worked with everyone from Jay-Z to Justin Bieber.
Other performers booked for the festival include Paid Dues 2013 artists Black Hippy, Hopsin, Immortal Technique Juicy J, Talib Kweli, Tech N9ne and Dom Kennedy.
Also, Coachella 2013 vets Danny Brown, Jurassic 5, Earl Sweatshirt and Mimosa are on the lineup, too.
Plus, Big K.R.I.T., Bodega Bamz, Brother Ali, Chase & Status, Common, Curren$y, Dilated Peoples, Dizzy Wright, E40 and Too Short, Flastbush Zombies, Jhene Aiko, Kid Cudi, Lecrae, Prof, Rakim, Snow tha Product, Supernatural and Tyler the Creator will perform. Some of the artists will only be on select dates.
Tickets for the San Manuel Amphitheater are on sale via Live Nation. Tickets are $165 and $375 before fees.

Common Problems
The App Isn't Working — the Audios Don't Play, I can't hear them.
Sometimes people don't hear the audio when they try to play it because the volume on either their iPhone or the app itself is not turned up high enough. The volume is controlled by volume sliders (the far right position being the loudest). Also — please make sure your earphones/earbuds are plugged in all the way. If you have checked these things and still have a problem, please see the General Tips below.
General Tips
If you are having difficulty with any of our Apps, please try the following:

I bought the hightunes which has very nice music, for massage sessions. But, is there no way to make a playlist longer than 60 minutes? The massage sessions often go for two hours, and picking and deciding the lengths of the different pieces of music, to fit in two hours, would be useful.
Mary on
April 7th, 2010 11:19 am
As the App is now, there is no way to program the playlist for more than 60 minutes. You would have to play it a second time for a 2 hour massage session. We should be able to change this in an update of the app in the future. Thanks for asking.

Kevin, Are you already using the High Tunes app? That has music that would be especially good for that. We also have the album Pure Light that has 10 different tracks.

It does not want to download onto the Touch because a newer version of iPod software is required.
I have updated and still no go.
What gives?
Mary on
August 8th, 2010 12:03 pm
I take it you then have IOS 4.
Try re-downloading the App. Here's a link as to how to do this:
Make sure you give it time to download completely. If this doesn't work, please let us know exactly what happens.

are there plans to make attunement "multi-taskable"?
that is, are there plans to update the app to where you can listen to the music while doing something else, like working in another app? right now the app quits when you leave it
Mary on
December 21st, 2010 10:35 am
david, thanks for asking. When we update the app to the iPhone 4 operating system, it should become multi-taskable.

Mary on
March 26th, 2011 9:12 am
Bettina, are you saying that the Playlist button wasn't there anymore, or that you tapped it and the Playlist page didn't come up? If it's the latter, it's possible you didn't wait long enough for the page to appear after you tapped the button. It can sometimes take as much as 15 seconds to load. Please try again and let us know if there is still a problem.
Natalie on
April 28th, 2011 5:14 am
I don't have a menu to access so that I can move to a different page on the app. I have redownloaded it and updated software but the menu doesn't show up.
Mary on
April 28th, 2011 9:14 am
Natalie, we're sorry you are having a problem. The page that you see when you first open the app does not have a navigation bar, but has two buttons on the page to navigate with (Instructions and Listen). The other pages have a bar at the bottom of the page with 4 buttons for going to other pages. Do you mean that the bar with four buttons is not appearing on the bottom of those pages?

May 9th, 2011 9:59 pm
The quotes on the song pages— I touched it and it became a text box I could edit. My keyboard popped up. It is blocking the menu, and I can't get it to go away. Closing the app does not reset things. Help!
Mary on
May 10th, 2011 8:53 am
Leigh Ann, We're so sorry about this problem. There was a bug in our most recent update, and we are fixing that. A new update should be available in about a week. In the meantime, we don't understand why closing the app doesn't reset it. It resets it on our device. We suggest that you delete the app and re-download it (which you should be able to do for free). Here's a link with instructions for re-downloading the app — http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 Then, until you get the new update, don't tap on the quotes! We're sorry for the inconvenience.

I tried each piece of music to see which one I liked, and then they all started playing at once with no way to stop them. I checked each one to see which was playing, but they were all set on pause and then I turned each of them down in volume but to no avail. They are are all still playing beyond the 5 minute time, I was hoping they would turn off. Help!
Mary on
May 12th, 2011 8:30 am
Sabine, is this on iPhone, or is it Android? What happens if you close the app and open it again?

June 21st, 2011 4:56 pm
I have the same problem as the person above– all the songs are playing at once it sounds like cacophony. I have tried to stop or pause the songs but that doesn't work. this is on an iPhone 4
thank you
Mary on
June 22nd, 2011 9:23 am
Bella, we are sorry you are having a problem. Do you have the most recent update, version 1.7? We did a bug fix that took care of the problem Sabine was having. If you do have version 1.7, please give us some detail about what you do (what buttons you tap and so on) that causes this to happen. Does it happen right away, or after an audio has been playing for a while? Are you using the Playlist or playing from an individual song page? These kinds of details can help us troubleshoot the problem. Thank you for your patience.

Mary on

Glenna, yes, it is. If we get any reports of problems, we will fix them, but we haven't had any complaints since the iOS 5 upgrade.

Thank you for your request, Marjie. We will look into whether or not we can program this into the app. If we can, we'll do it in a future update.

I'm aware Jamestown might not be the biggest soccer town in all the land. But people still should be a little upset about Team USA blowing a shot at the London Olympics this year.
Thanks to aggregate tournament scoring, underlined by shoddy goal keeping in the closing seconds of injury times, USA's hopes of send a team to London are squashed.
Team USA gave up a tie to El Salvador on a misplaced save from goalie Sean Johnson.
Because the US lost to Canada and a tie now with El Salvador, USA will not reach the semi-final round of CONCACAF Olympic qualifying.
We rarely get the chance to embrace soccer on an international level here. This loss is just one more opportunity washed away by the tears of an underachieving group of young men.

The Stardust Drive-In Theater in Watertown will become the venue for a concert featuring country music star and American Idol finalist Bucky Covington in November.
The Music With A Purpose concert will benefit the Mt. Juliet Help Center and the Bridge Fellowship, both in Wilson County.
The Mt. Juliet Help Center provides emergency assistance and to help people achieve stability by offering a helping hand.
The Bridge Fellowship creates atmospheres that are fun, comfortable and draw people closer to God in outreach throughout Wilson County.
"Anytime we get to play in town, it's a wonderful thing," Covington said. "To be able to help out a wonderful cause, it's a great thing."
The concert will be Nov. 17 with gates opening at 10 a.m. and Covington taking the stage at noon.
Tickets are available for $15 each, and a VIP status may be added for $10 more at musicwithapurpose.com.
"We definitely like helping people out all we can," Covington said.
Covington is no stranger to offering a helping hand to those in need. He's a spokesperson and active supporter of Help The Good Guys, an organization that provides immediate financial support for injured firefighters and their families. Covington plays host to fundraisers from concerts to bowling parties, with the proceeds going immediately to injured firefighters.
His second album, Good Guys, was released Sept. 11 with a portion of the first week sales benefitting Help The Good Guys and the International Association of Fire Fighters Charitable Foundation. An exclusive version of the album was also made available to IAFF members and chapters to raise money for the foundation.
"We do all kinds of shows," Covington said. "We do big shows where there are 30,000-50,000 people there, and we do acoustic shows where there are only a handful of people there. We just finished a hometown tour where we played a lot of small towns and small venues."
He became the best-selling debut artist of the class of 2007, with the hit song, "A Different World." A feature on his new album, he and Shooter Jennings team up in "Drinking Side of Country."
"This will be an amazing show with one of the best talents and more importantly one of the best people in country music," said Jeremy Hayes, president of Music With a Purpose. "Bucky truly cares about people in the community, and it is a true blessing to have Bucky be a part this Music With A Purpose concert.
"Music With A Purpose hopes that we can write checks of at least $5,000 to each group with the help of people attending the concert."

Cellulosic Ethanol Production Value Chain
Cellulosic Ethanol Production Value Chain
Value Chain Description
Before the feedstock is used for producing cellulosic ethanol, it has to be harvested and transported to the biofuel plant or refinery.
Upstream Logistics - Starting with the biomass feedstock production, the next steps in this process are the harvesting of biomass, storing the harvested biomass, and transporting the resulting biomass to the conversion plant for conversion to fuel via biochemical or thermochemical methods.
Biomass Handling – The biomass goes through a size-reduction step to make it easier to handle and to make the ethanol production process more efficient. For example, agricultural residues go through a grinding process, and wood goes through a chipping process to achieve a uniform particle size.

The Mess That Is Android: A Google-Powered Object Lesson
Want to both user experience? Don't let the home screen or app drawer rotate to landscape mode. Why would anyone want to rotate the home screen to landscape. I like holding my phone in landscape and, hitting the app drawer or the dialer and reading vertical. Thankfully I am not left handed, but if you are, then no left hand orientation for you, either. But what am I complaining about? Screen rotation on ICS is so slow that I find myself shaking my phone in a vain attempt to get it to rotate.
Come on. I know the screen can rotate to landscape. It works on alternative home screens, after market ROM's, and even my Asus Transformer Prime. The screen won't rotate on handsets running stock Android.

text: This quick and spicy chili made with ground turkey lies somewhere between a hearty, rib-sticking beef chili and a lighter vegetarian version. First, ground turkey is cooked with red bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Chili powder, cayenne, cumin, and little bit of cinnamon are added to give warm spice and heat, then tomatoes and white beans are stirred in and left to simmer until the flavors mingle. In about an hour, this satisfying weeknight meal is ready to be ladled into bowls and topped with crumbled tortilla chips.

Reminding retailers and consumers alike that pears are a fresh choice during the winter months, Pear Bureau Northwest is holding a nationwide display contest to encourage retailers to creatively promote USA Pears.
Independent retailers participating in the Winter Festival Display Contest will maintain a winter-themed pear display in their stores for a minimum of two weeks during the promotional period, which ends on March 17. Pear Bureau Northwest is providing point of sale materials to supplement retailer displays, including seasonal 7×11 cards with recipe tear-pads, variety channel cards and brochures. The contest encourages retailers to capitalize on current pear sales by promoting a second size, bulk or bagged pears or jumble displays.
"With the largest pear crop on record this season, we're seizing on retailer interest to promote USA Pears with unique and fresh approaches," says Kevin Moffitt, president and CEO. "We're pleased to see the increased engagement these promotional opportunities bring our retail partners."
Contest displays must promote a minimum of three varieties, including Anjou, Red Anjou and Bosc. Winners will be chosen after March 23. Prizes will be awarded to large and small store categories, with a total of six winners. Second and third place winners will receive $500, and first place winners will be awarded $1,500.

maintained and created by Glenda Crew
Such acts, however, are not regarded as piracy under the law of nations.
Piracy is distinguished from "privateering" in that the latter is authorized by a belligerent in time of war;
privateering was legally abolished by the Declaration of Paris of 1856,
but the United States and certain other nations did not assent to the declaration.
Piracy is recognized as an offense against the law of nations.
It is a crime not against any particular state, but against all humanity.
The crime may be punished in the competent tribunal of any country in which the offender may be found,
or carried, although the crime may have been committed on board a foreign vessel on the high seas.
The essence of piracy is that the pirate has no valid commission from a sovereign state,
or from an insurgent or belligerent government engaged in hostilities with a particular state.
Pirates are regarded as common enemies of all people.
In that nations have an equal interest in their apprehension and punishment,
pirates may be lawfully captured on the high seas by the armed vessels of any state and brought within its territorial jurisdiction
for trial in its tribunals.
Piracy is of ancient origin. The Phoenicians often combined piracy with more legitimate seafaring enterprise.
From the 9th through the 11th century the Vikings terrorized western European coasts
and waters. The Hanseatic League, formed in the 13th century,
was created partially to provide mutual defense against northern pirates roaming the North and Baltic seas.
Muslim rovers, meanwhile, scourged the Mediterranean Sea, commingling naval war on a large scale with thievery and the abduction
of slaves. In the 17th century the English Channel swarmed with Algerian pirates,
operating out of northern Africa; Algiers continued to be a piratical stronghold
until well into the 19th century.
Piracy waned with the development of the steam engine and the growth of the British and American navies in the latter part of the 18th and early 19th centuries.
In municipal law, the term piracy has been extended to cover crimes other than those defined above, such as slave trading.
An independent state has the power to regulate its own criminal code, and it may declare offenses to be piracy that are not so regarded
by international law.
These municipal laws can have binding force only in the jurisdiction creating them.
Although similar regulations may be adopted by other states, in the absence of special agreement between two states, the officers of one may not arrest or punish subjects of the other for offenses committed beyond its jurisdiction.
"Buccaneer" was
a title applied to English, Dutch, and French seafaring adventurers of the
17th century. In the previous century such daring fighters and seamen as the
Englishmen Sir Francis Drake and Sir Richard Hawkins had obtained wealth in
privateering operations against Spain, in the Caribbean Sea and off the
coasts of North America. Inspired by the success of these men and the lure
of riches, a group of wandering pirates called "freebooters" or "buccaneers"
began to harass the Spanish colonies in the New World, particularly during
the second half of the 17th century.
The most famous buccaneer, Sir Henry Morgan, was from England.
Buccaneers are usually distinguished from privateers, who had official government commissions; buccaneers rarely had valid commissions.
They are also distinguished from the pirates who attacked ships of all nations and were outlawed in the 18th century.
At first the headquarters of the buccaneers was on the little island of Tortuga (Île de la Tortue), off the north western coast of Hispaniola
(now Haiti) in the main line of the Caribbean commerce.
The term "buccaneer" was derived from their practice of raiding Hispaniola and taking
the cattle from the Spanish plantations;
they dried the meat on grills, known in French as "boucan",
and sold it to vessels that put in for provisions.
The buccaneers later used Jamaica as a base of operations,
and with Morgan as their leader, they captured Panama in 1671.
Buccaneering came to an end in the 18th century when the buccaneers were hired by their respective governments to fight as privateers in the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-14).
Several buccaneers wrote exciting tales of their adventures which, subsequently, inspired further exploration in the New World.
"Privateer", in international law, is the term applied to a privately owned armed vessel
whose owners are commissioned by a hostile nation to carry on naval warfare.
Such naval commissions or authorizations are called "letters of marque".
Privateering is distinguished from piracy, which is carried out without
enlistment by a government.
Privateering was abolished by the Declaration of Paris of 1856,
but the declaration was not supported by the United States, Spain, Mexico, and Venezuela.
The Hague Conference of 1907 prescribed the conditions under which a private merchant vessel converted
to war purposes has the status of a warship.
Under the U.S. Constitution, Congress has the power to issue "letters of marque"
and therefore to make use of privateers.
The practice of privateering preceded the creation of national navies.
During the Middle Ages, European states having few or no warships
hired merchant vessels for hostile purposes.
The issuing of "letters of marque" to shipowners
or procurers, authorizing them to prey on the commerce of
the enemy, eventually came into general use.
By way of compensation, privateers were allowed to share any booty
Privateering was carried on during the American Revolution
and the War of 1812.
Congress authorized the president to commission privateering
in 1863 during the American Civil War,
but the power was not exercised;
the Confederacy, however, engaged in privateering during this period.
Privateering was expressly renounced by the United States during the Spanish-American War
of 1898.
At the Hague Conference of 1922-23, called to formulate the regulation
of the use of aircraft and radio in time of war,
the countries then present issued a joint declaration against
the use of privateers in aerial warfare.
The report stated that because belligerent rights at sea
could be exercised only by units under the direct authority,
immediate control, and responsibility of the warring nation,
belligerent rights in the air should also be exercised only
by military aircraft.

Compromise in Webster's dictionary is defined as "a settlement of differences by mutual consent."
This is a word that no longer has meaning in Washington, D.C. Yet, this is a word that enables state and county and local governments to do their jobs. Guess what? Compromise is what successful government in the United States is all about.
I spent 20 years in the New Jersey Legislature and even then (35 years ago) almost no major governmental program was enacted without some give and take from both sides of the aisle and without suggestive input from governors and their staff people. ...

This is a commercial for...a hotel? I think? Bah, who even cares?

There's not really much to say that George from Arlen's Transmissions doesn't sing in this remarkably creepy local commercial.

Ah, the American father — that beer-guzzling, football-watching, hamburger-grilling lump of a human who so often prostrates himself on the family couch before his stupefied children like a sedated gorilla has been soundly mocked as a hapless oaf since, well, General Yepanchin in The Idiot.

A new ad for the vegetarian brand Lightlife reimagines Old Macdonald's Farm as a Tim Burton-esque setting populated with animals composed of different vegetables, like walking, lowing, pecking jigsaw puzzles of plant matter.

Consider SNL's parodic Amazon commercial a cautionary tale about bringing your mom breakfast in bed next Sunday — don't invade her private boudoir of onanism just to give her a platter of burned toast and orange juice from concentrate, because the half-hearted gesture won't erase a year's worth of filial apathy and… »
Dogs are usually pretty good at tugging at our heartstrings, but when you set them to music and highlight all of the sweet and brave things they do to take care of us, all hell breaks loose in the human heart.

Comfort from Alsace: 5 Recipes for Choucroute Garnie
If you come from Alsace, choucroute garnie probably tastes like home. For the rest of us, this French dish is all about warmth, comfort and abundance: sauerkraut simmered with wine and juniper berries and studded with various cuts of pork, piled high on a platter and surrounded by a ring of boiled potatoes. Have you ever tried making it at home?
Choucroute garnie is not a quick weekday type of recipe and it does require assembling a sizable number of pork products, but the exact amount and cut of each meat is forgiving. In his 1989 essay "True Choucroute," Jeffrey Steingarten — ever the intrepid eater — traveled to Alsace to research the components of authentic choucroute garnie and discovered that nearly every recipe includes smoked bacon, salted bacon, smoked or salted pig's knuckles or shanks and a few different types of sausages.
With so much smoky meat going on, it seems like the dish would be overwhelmingly heavy, but the bright zing of sauerkraut keeps it from tasting monotonous. I love making sauerkraut at home and choucroute garnie is the perfect use for an overabundant supply. It's also a great dish for a party, because there is no way one person could (or should!) eat all that pork alone.
Choucroute garnie gatherings: a new holiday tradition?
Get the recipes:
• Choucroute Garnie: This basic recipe from Bon Appetit mixes apples with the sauerkraut for added sweetness.
• Jacques Pépin's Choucroute Garnie: The French chef's take on the classic.
• Quick Choucroute Garnie: A weeknight-friendly, loose interpretation of the original.
• 5-Week Choucroute Garnie: If you want to go all out, check out these instructions from the blog No Recipes, which has you ferment the sauerkraut, stuff the sausages, smoke the pork and finally assemble everything in a DIY extravaganza.

Leukemia - Eosinophilic - After Treatment [1]
ON THIS PAGE: You will read about your medical care after treatment is finished and why this follow-up care is important. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen.
After treatment for eosinophilic leukemia ends, talk with your doctor about developing a follow-up care plan. This plan may include regular physical examinations, blood tests, bone marrow biopsies, and possibly scans or other imaging studies to monitor your recovery for the coming months and years. People experiencing a long-term remission are encouraged to follow cancer screening recommendations for the general population.
Some eosinophilic leukemia treatments may cause the following long-term side effects. It's important to talk with your health care team about the best ways to watch for these side effects and what will be done if they do occur.
- Numbness, tingling, and pain in the hands and feet from vincristine.
- A weakened heart muscle from higher total doses of doxorubicin (Adriamycin) or radiation therapy to the chest.
- Infertility (inability to have a child) or premature menopause [3] from high-dose cyclophosphamide or other chemotherapy. Learn more about fertility and cancer [4].
- A secondary leukemia [5] or another type of secondary cancer is more common after chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
ASCO offers treatment summary forms [6] to help keep track of the treatment you received and develop a survivorship care plan once treatment is completed.
People recovering from eosinophilic leukemia are encouraged to follow established guidelines for good health, such as maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking, eating a balanced diet, and having recommended cancer screening tests. Talk with your doctor to develop a plan that is best for your needs. Moderate physical activity can help rebuild your strength and energy level. Your doctor can help you create an appropriate exercise plan based upon your needs, physical abilities, and fitness level. Learn more about the next steps to take in survivorship [7], including making positive lifestyle changes [8].
The next section offers a list of questions you may want to ask. Use the menu on the side of your screen to select Questions to Ask the Doctor, or you can select another section, to continue reading this guide.

Good wrap-up to your series! I think you did a good job of showing us the growing problem Jensen was having. How he was getting more and more uncomfortable with Jared's kinks, but wanted Jared to be happy. Glad that they were finally able to truly communicate.
{"So, Jen, what are some of your kinks?"}
You do realize that this just begs for a new series?
Author's Response: Lol, yeah, I keep doing that to myself. After I wrote it I groaned inwardly (with a smile) as I realized that I would have to write Jensen's kinks. Lol. Not sure when it will happen, but it's definitely something I've been thinking about. I'm so glad that you liked it. It was a hard one to write.

U.S. Rep. Steven Palazzo and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid both found out the hard way that it's folly to compare the damage inflicted by two different natural disasters.
Reid had to issue a statement saying that he "misspoke" in a Senate speech last Friday when he said damage from Superstorm Sandy was worse than that inflicted by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Reid was criticizing House Republicans for delaying legislative action to provide financial relief to areas of the Northeast hit by Sandy last October.
Reid said the government had responded within days to help the Gulf Coast after Katrina devastated the region, but "we are now past two months with the people of New York."
He said the people of New Orleans "were hurt, but nothing in comparison to what's happened to the people in New England."
Sen. David Vitter, R-La., branded Reid "an idiot, this time gravely insulting Gulf Coast residents."
Palazzo, who represents south Mississippi, was one of the House Republicans who voted against the $10 billion aid package, because he said there are flaws in the National Flood Insurance Program. After four days of criticism, Palazzo made his first visit to New York and New Jersey on Tuesday to assure House colleagues that he supports disaster aid and express sympathy on Mississippi's behalf to those still suffering from Sandy's destruction.
Vitter cited figures from the National Hurricane Center that Katrina caused 1,833 deaths and more than $108 billion in damage, while Sandy led to an estimated 131 deaths and $65 billion in damage.
Proclaiming one to be worse than the other is an insult to residents of the Gulf and East coasts. It's apples and oranges. Both storms destroyed communities and lives. To focus on dollar signs is insensitive to the suffering that many people are still enduring, and to hold relief money hostage in a game of partisan politics is inexcusable. There is time later to fix the flood insurance program. Let's help people now.
Hurricanes seem to be getting more destructive. It's time the National Hurricane Center came up with a formula for predicting a storm's overall strength. The Saffir-Simpson scale is helpful in predicting damage, but it measures only sustained wind speed in five categories. As we know all too well now, most of the damage comes from the storm surge. Forecasters should reconfigure the scale so that it takes into account all of a storm's destructive potential, including rainfall, forward speed and surge, not just wind.

250-homes plan given go-ahead by single vote
Posted: October 09, 2012|
A 250-HOME housing estate will be built at the 'gateway' to Kingsteignton — despite strong opposition from residents.
Teignbridge District councillors have agreed to give developers permission to build on agricultural land at Penns Mount.
The scheme has met almost blanket opposition from local people since first proposed but made it through a planning committee by one vote.
Planning officers pointing out that the land had been designated for housing in the emerging Local Plan only a week before.
Developers Eagle One Homes said afterwards they were delighted with the decision.
The outline plan is for up to 250 homes, public space, a community orchard/garden and an access road.
Ward councillor Mike Walters told the meeting there were already other plans to build 860 new homes in Kingsteignton and more were not needed.
He said: "This is the green gateway to Teignbridge but will look like a shanty town."
Cllr Joan Lambert said: "We need a primary school for all these children coming in the area but there is no new school. Where's the green spaces? Where's the open spaces? "
Cllr Jackie Brodie said the applications should be turned down on the grounds the new Local Plan had not yet been adopted.
She said: This is a prominent landscape feature and is precious."
The council received 79 letters of objection from people and one in support, mostly on environmental and road safety grounds.
But chairman of the committee Cllr Humphrey Clemens said councillors had agreed to include Penns Mount in the Local Plan and refusal now may not be a defendable position at appeal.
He said the whole district had to make difficult decisions.
He said: "We all agreed to build in areas we'd prefer not to. Life goes on and we have to expand."
Eight councillors voted in favour and seven against with one abstaining.
A quarter of the houses will be affordable with three hectares used as a public park.
Andrew Rowe, land manager for the developers, said there was no valid reason to refuse the application on the 11-hectare site off the Ware Barton roundabout.
He said: "We will now go away and make sure it comes forward again in a sensitive manner.
"Our next step is to complete the Section 106 agreement with the council which will deliver more than £1.2 million in cash benefits. This includes £500,000 towards the Kingskerswell bypass, £376,516 towards a new primary school, £308,000 towards sports and recreation facilities and £50,000 towards upgrading the existing cycle route along the Teign estuary."

OLED keyboard and keypad maker Art Lebedev Studio has developed a cellphone concept for Russian network provider Scartel. The device would be one of the few to carry WiMAX for 4G-level Internet access but would also have an unprecedented 850x480 resolution touchscreen. Users will also be able to connect to the Internet via a built-in Wi-Fi module and make calls on tri-band GSM.
Expectations should be lowered for Apple stock, even though the company is doing well in many regards, argues BMO Capital's Keith Bachman. The analyst has reduced his price target from $190 to $180, citing a "weak economy" that has "started to take a toll on Apple's systems business." BMO's estimate for September-quarter Mac shipments has shrunk from 2.86 million to 2.71, and in FY09, the firm is predicting shipments of 12 million Macs instead of 12.6. Total revenue expectations for FY09 have been reduced to $40 billion from $40.6.
Worldwide economic crises are beginning to have serious impact within PC builders Dell and HP, claims DigiTimes. The publication cites sources inside Taiwanese channel distributors, who say that both companies are looking to cut back on research and development for notebooks, which usually entails testing the performance and endurance of new parts. Because this is also done by the actual manufacturers (ODMs), sources say, Dell and HP believe they can scale back without hurting future products.
Apple's anticipated MacBook Pro revision might sacrifice some of its now-traditional ports in the name of space, says a relatively new but allegedly accurate source for AppleInsider. Although Apple has included a full-sized DVI port on every 15-inch or larger notebook since a mid-cycle update to the titanium PowerBook G4, the new model is now claimed to drop this in favor of a smaller port to maximize the use of space in the system. Apple's proprietary Mini DVI adapter is described as most likely, though the company recently introduced a smaller-still alternative known as Micro DVI for the MacBook Air.
Though having confirmed in mid-August that it would carry the iPhone, Turkcell has only just announced that the phone is to launch in Turkey tomorrow, September 26th. Three pricing options are available with an 18-month contract: at a cost of 75 YTL per month, the small package includes a phone starting at 279 YTL, along with 150 minutes of voice and 150 text messages. Data use is listed as "unlimited," but in fact includes just 100MB of free data in the first month, a 3GB bundle costing extra. The first three months of the bundle are half-price.
NVIDIA on Thursday announced it has partnered up with digital video software creator MotionDSP to provide users with a way to enhance the quality of personal videos created by their cellphone cameras, point-and-shoot digicams, camcorders or video captured from the Internet. Written using NVIDIA's CUDA general-purpose computing technology to take advantage of the GPUs' abiilities to handle non-graphics tasks, MotionDSP's codenamed Carmel software tracks every pixel from tens of video frames before reconstructing high-quality video from low-res sources.
Panasonic's Lumix G1 Micro Four Thirds camera will carry the price of a full entry-level DSLR when it launches in the near future, company executive Yasunori Takase says in an interview with Adorama. Although Panasonic has publicly said it would only expand on its launch details next month, Takase now says the camera plus its 14-45mm kit lens will cost nearly $800 in the bundle when they reach US shores. Pricing for the optional 45-200mm lens isn't available.
Crash errors in Mozilla's Firefox browser have been fixed with help from Apple, the organization says. Bugs in earlier versions of Firefox 3 were said to have been crashing the software, sometimes generating memory corruption at the same time; Mozilla comments that while no threats have emerged, the potential existed for launching arbitrary code, such as malware. Two of these bugs -- found in the image rendering code -- were discovered by Drew Yao of Apple Product Security.
Newly-published patent applications may point to enhancements in Safari 4 or other versions of Apple's web browser. Originally submitted earlier this year, the filings depict two different browser-based technologies, beginning with the concept of a visual history. Apple notes that most browsers display history as a straight list of pages, something which may be "confusing." The company also comments that relying on forward and back buttons can be "cumbersome," and that histories may incorporate files not meant for web browsers.
ASUS on Wednesday said it will add HSPA wireless data network access to its Eee PC range of portable notebook PCs, starting with the 8.9-inch Eee PC 901. The newly added feature will enable users to access the Internet from anywhere a supporting wireless data network is available, allowing them to reach download speeds as high as 7.2Mbps and upload speeds of 2Mbps.
Minnesota US District Judge Michael Davis today dismissed a Recording Industry Association of America victory in its controversial anti-piracy case against Jammie Thomas, declaring a mistrial. The move at least temporarily eliminates the $220,000 fine demanded by the music label representatives for claims that she pirated 24 songs by making them available through the KaZaA file sharing service. The call for a retrial comes after Judge Davis reversed his position and said a jury was no longer required to consider hosting songs enough of a legal grounding to find against Thomas.
The Metadata Working Group on Wednesday announced the introduction of its first standard for the preservation of metadata, or 'data about data' in digital photographs at the Photokina 2008 show. The specification is meant to make organizing, sharing and searching for digital photos quicker and easier, as well as make working with digital photos compatible across all applications, devices and services. Current metadata standards typically overlap and do not provide interoperability options.
Apple has signed a deal which should see over 1.5 million new songs added to the iTunes Store, reports say. The company has forged an agreement with Pure Play Music, a site which specializes in hosting artists that are otherwise unsigned. The site currently lists a roster of over 6,000 artists from around the world, who operate under a set of non-exclusive rights agreements.
Sling this morning began shipping its long-promised Slingbox Pro-HD, the company's first true HD streaming device. The device carries its own ATSC and ClearQAM hybrid tuner and will pick up either 720p or 1080i TV from cable, satellite and over-the-air broadcasts that can be shared either at home or online; on the local network, computers can watch and control the TV feed at its native resolution. Dual component video connections also help the Slingbox receive HD without disrupting other devices that might need the signal.
Casio on Thursday unveiled what it says is the sharpest display yet and took significant steps towards making HD video possible on mobile devices. Although measuring just two inches diagonally, the display uses a new hyper amorphous silicon LCD with an extremely small pixel structure and 15.5 micron dot pitch that lets Casio produce a 960x540 resolution. The output is a full quarter that of 1080p HD and results in an extremely dense 546 dots per inch, generating a near print-like quality to the final image.
Panasonic early today revamped its semi-hardened notebooks with the launch of its 8-series Toughbooks. The 14-inch F8, 12-inch W8 and the similarly-small T8 are all the first in their particular class to carry a Qualcomm Gobi chipset that gives access to 3G cellular Internet access over either EVDO or HSPA with supporting providers. They also take advantage of Intel's newest low-power Core 2 Duo chips and the newer GMA 4500MHD graphics and 802.11n Wi-Fi to match.
Every hard drive will eventually fail. Backing up your data can protect you against a hard disk crash, but you can often prevent minor hard disk problems through proper maintenance with special disk utility programs such as DriveGenius 2.1.
Some placeholder SKUs in Canadian retailer Future Shop's computer system could be a clue to impending Mac revisions, according to a screenshot supplied by an anonymous employee to MacRumors. A total of twelve spots entitled "APPLE MAC PLACEHOLDER" exist in the system, six each for English and French, all numbered accordingly. Futureshop and Best Buy have typically been privy to past Apple releases, most likely due to the close nature of their relationship.
MySpace tonight kicked off the formal appearance of MySpace Music, its first commercial music service. The feature takes advantage of existing hooks for streaming music to offer on-demand, ad-subsidized playback of full tracks from the website but also lets members purchase unprotected MP3s of songs through an Amazon MP3-supported system with similar prices; the normal MySpace Flash player now includes links to buy songs or add them to a playlist.

These candies are small dark chocolate covered pomegranate chews. They are 180 calories for about 20 pieces, and for me, about 2-5 pieces is a great treat! These are the perfect candy for people with chocolate cravings. Pop one or two and the craving is gone, without adding many calories to your day!
A 2-ounce version of a candy bar can add 35 grams of sugar to your diet. Switch to bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate chips that have at least 60% cacao. Sixteen little dark chocolate chips contain just 6 grams of sugar and they add one gram of fiber and are better for your heart. Even 2-3 dark chocolate kisses will do the trick to satisy cravings with out all that sugar!!!!
Instead of telling myself that I CAN'T have chocolate or a piece of candy every now and then, I've started buying a package of the Sugar-Free Chocolates. They are individually wrapped, often times are dark chocolate, and there's not very many in the package. I know that they are there when I get a craving and they are so good. I have also had the Skinny Cow candies. It's just a sweet treat while maintaining portion control and I feel satisfied afterwards.
Hooray for dark chocolate! Eating about 30 calories a day of dark chocolate that's about half an ounce was shown to help lower blood pressure without weight gain or other adverse effects, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).

I know the importance of having a well-fitted saddle for the horse, but I'm wondering now if it's possible to have a too-big saddle for us.
I bought my really good, leather, high-quality used saddle for my horse when I bought her. It has a 15" seat, I believe (I don't think I went with a 16), and it is big (and heavy) and deep and so secure that it is pretty well impossible to come out of (indeed, I haven't yet in the two years I've been using it).
Then, more recently, I came into possession of my sister's old, beat up "tester" saddle that has really seen some years. It's certainly the least aesthetically pleasing saddle you could imagine, it's curling and worn, has no fancy trimmings and, compared to my other saddle, as light as a feather. However, I just feel more...right in this saddle, moreso than the other.
The big saddle is great and secure and makes you feel safe, but I feel kind of...restricted in it, if that makes sense. In the little saddle, I just feel more active and in control, even if the saddle itself is not as deep and secure. I don't know what seat size the little saddle is, but it's definitely smaller, and it feels more suited to me.
I don't really know what the point of this thread was, except to ask: is it really possible to have a TOO big saddle (for you)? I don't know what I'm going to do with the big saddle-I've taken to riding in the smaller one all the time, no matter what horse I ride, but I'm not sure if I should sell it or keep it. Perhaps I could sell it and get an equally nice saddle, but with a smaller seat? I'm not sure...I really like the saddle, I like how secure it feels, but it's hard for me to really ride in it.

By: T.J. Zuppe
New Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona has been a busy man. Amongst compiling a short list of coaching candidates and reaching out to men to potentially join him on his staff, Francona has been trying to get a grasp on his club's roster.
With big decisions to be made and major gaps to be filled, Francona and general manager Chris Antonetti are putting together a game plan, while assessing where the team is at organizationally.
As they go about putting that game plan together this off-season, Francona feels confident in the front office but understands they have to back it up with good, solid decisions.
"The people that are in place here are off the charts," Francona said. "Now we have a responsibility to put a team on the field. And the more consistently you do that, the better chance you give yourself to win."
But what about the team he currently has in place? Roster turnover is on the horizon, but how much and in what areas does Francona feel those changes need to come?
"We seem to be strong up the middle," Francona said of his team's strength. "I understand right now there are some openings. You look at first-base, left-field, DH, there has to be some decisions made on how we best move forward."
Those holes are just in Francona's every lineup. The pitching staff – the area Francona has keyed on many times in his brief stint as skipper – may have the biggest question marks of all.
He hopes the hurlers at the top his rotation – Justin Masterson and Ubaldo Jimenez – can find consistency between dominance and ineffectiveness.
"If we could get back towards the 2011 guys, as opposed to the guys we had last year, that's a huge step in the right direction," Francona said. "That's not something I'm arrogant enough to think I have all the answers. But I'm also new enough and energetic enough that I want to try.
"(For the new) pitching coach, that's a huge thing, one of the first priorities,"
Why does Francona feel those two are so important?
"If you have those two guys anchoring your staff, it makes it a lot easier for the younger kids coming up," Francona said. "They don't have to carry such a big load."
Back to Coaching
Francona has stressed how excited he is to get back to being on the field, tossing batting practice, hitting ground balls and most importantly, coaching his new club. The purist form of his job – the actual coaching – is something he feels got away from him in Boston as manager of the Red Sox.
"The last couple years in Boston I felt like I was getting further and further from the field," Francona said. "I felt like my title didn't need to be manager, it needed to be 'fire-putter-outer'. With everything in Boston, there are no little stories."
Now with Cleveland, Francona will be getting his chance at hitting the reset button. A clean slate awaits him as manager of the Indians.
That same opportunity awaits several of his new players, some who might have found themselves in the dreaded dog house.
"For the guys that have done well, I recognize that," Francona said. "For the guys that need a fresh start, they're going to get it."
ESPN Allows Francona to Get Up to Speed
One of the biggest things Francona is thankful for is how flexible his current employer has been through the process of becoming the manager of the Indians.
While originally expected to be a full participant in the network's baseball post-season coverage, ESPN allowed Francona to step away from his commitments and familiarize himself with his new organization, something he feels has been extremely valuable.
"If I wouldn't have been (with the Indians), I don't know how I would have caught up," Francona said. "I don't think I realized that. I knew I was glad when the guys at ESPN said I could do this.
"I would have been overmatched (if I didn't get a break from ESPN). I've been going until late at night, every night anyways and that's without having that job hanging over me, so I caught a break there."
As for where he is at now?
"I feel like I'm catching up in a hurry," Francona said.

The New York Times article Israel to Review Curbs on Women's Prayer at Western Wall makes me wonder how any religion, and most do, treat women less than men. I realize that it is historical in nature, but in this century where it is so very clear that women are every bit the equal of men, it is difficult to believe that rational, reasonable and intelligent people still set women not just apart but unequally separate.
God loves men better than women? Really?

In the early days the company was focused on delivering a handful of high-end custom machines. Each passing year was marked with more improvements, refinements and increased capacity.

We can customize the boats to satisfy your performance and comfort needs to fit your boating lifestyle. These V bottoms can also be configured as center consoles.
On the Supercat side we offer the highly successful 3600, the newer 4000 roadster, the 4400 and of course, the 5000 cats. The latter two are offered in three different deck configurations.
It all starts with amazing designs and features that set our boats apart from the rest. Then using time tested, proven techniques combined with the latest technology and materials we deliver solid, rattle free performance. We also combine our innovative designs with features that bring comfort and practicality where others fail to deliver.
