|Gwen Stefani singles chronology
"Hollaback Girl" is a song by American singer and songwriter Gwen Stefani from her debut solo studio album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby. (2004). As part of Stefani's vision of creating "a silly dance record",[1] the song is influenced by 1980s pop and dance music. The song was written by Stefani, Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, as a response to Courtney Love's statement that Stefani was a "cheerleader" in an interview with Seventeen magazine.
The song was released as the album's third single on March 15, 2005, and was one of the year's most popular songs, peaking inside the top ten on the majority of the charts it entered. It reached number one in Australia and the United States, where it became the first digital download to sell one million copies. "Hollaback Girl" received several award nominations, including Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Record of the Year at the 48th Grammy Awards, yet it divided pop music critics. The CD single bears a "Parental Advisory: Explicit Content" label, although the album does not. The song serves as the opening track of the 2005 compilation album Now That's What I Call Music! 19.

Writing and inspiration[edit]
Stefani had worked with The Neptunes (Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo) during the early stages of writing Love. Angel. Music. Baby.; however, a case of writer's block resulted in reportedly uninspired collaborations.[2] As the album neared completion, Stefani regained her confidence and booked another session with The Neptunes. Stefani flew to New York City to meet up with Williams, and after finishing two songs within a week, Stefani ended the session early and prepared to return home. A few minutes later, Williams called her back into the studio to write another song. Stefani said, "I was tired. I wanted to go home, but he was like, 'Don't leave yet.'"[3] When she returned to the studio, Williams began to play Stefani his first solo album, and she became envious.[2] Excited by his material, she decided to write another song with Williams, despite her opinion that the album already contained far too many tracks.[3]
To search for inspiration, Stefani and Williams had a lengthy discussion in which Stefani said that she had yet to write a song about her intentions for pursuing a solo career. She remarked how the album was missing an "attitude song", and she recalled a derogatory comment that grunge musician Courtney Love had made about her in an interview with teen magazine Seventeen.
Being famous is just like being in high school. But I'm not interested in being the cheerleader. I'm not interested in being Gwen Stefani. She's the cheerleader, and I'm out in the smoker shed.[4][5]
Stefani responded in the March 2005 issue of the NME:
Y'know someone one time called me a cheerleader, negatively, and I've never been a cheerleader. So I was, like, "OK, fuck you. You want me to be a cheerleader? Well, I will be one then. And I'll rule the whole world, just you watch me."[5]
Stefani believed that some of the fans of No Doubt would be upset with her solo effort, commenting, "[They] were probably like, 'Why is she doing this record? She's going to ruin everything'."[2] She revealed that she too did not know why she was recording a solo album. For the remainder of the evening, Stefani and Williams incorporated this inspiration into the lyrics that eventually became "Hollaback Girl". The two decided that Stefani did not have to have an answer for her intentions and that the choices she made were based on what she felt was wrong or right.[2] On its creation, Stefani said, "To me, it is the freshest attitude song I've heard in so long." Williams was pleased with the song, commenting, "Gwen is like the girl in high school who just had her own style."[3]
Because Stefani never disclosed the song title's meaning, reviewers came up with various interpretations. In a satirical, line-by-line analysis of the song's lyrics, OC Weekly critic Greg Stacy humorously speculated that "Gwen is apparently the captain of the cheerleader squad; she is the girl who 'hollas' the chants, not one of the girls who simply 'hollas' them back".[6] The most commonly accepted meaning is that a hollaback girl responds positively to the "catcalls" or hollers of men, but it might mean to Stefani that she would rather take the initiative and "step it up".[7]
Music and structure[edit]
"Hollaback Girl" is a moderately fast song, with a tempo of 110 beats per minute, and it is played in the key of D# minor.[8] It combines old school hip hop with dance music,[9] and—like the majority of pop music—is set in common time. The main chord pattern of the song alternates between B major and D♯ minor triads.[8] Most of the harmonic content of the song revolves around a two-chord alternation which music theorists may regard as an L (leading tone) transformation, in which the root of the major chord is lowered by a half-step to form a second inversion minor chord on the third scale degree (see image to right), a slight tonicization of B major, but resolving back to D# minor by having the same A, a perfect fourth down from D#. This stepwise motion between B and A♯ highlights this chord change. It is in verse-chorus form with a bridge before the fourth and final chorus. The song features sparse instrumentation, primarily a minimal beat[10] produced by drum machine.[11][12] A guitar plays the song's riff, a six-note pattern as Stefani repeats "this my shit" during the chorus, and a brass section joins during the second chorus.[7] In part because of its cheerleading motif, it drew comparisons to Toni Basil's 1982 song "Mickey".[13][14]
Critical reception[edit]
"Hollaback Girl" received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Yahoo! Music's Jennifer Nine described it as a "stomping, stripped-back" track,[15] and Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic noted that it had the "thumping, minimal beats" of The Neptunes.[11] Richard Smirke of Playlouder called it "a trademark Neptunes hip-hop stomp."[16] In his review of Love. Angel. Music. Baby., Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone gave the song a positive review, writing that "Stefani's gum-snapping sass brings out the beast in her beatmasters, especially the Neptunes in 'Hollaback Girl'."[17] Blender listed it as the eleventh best song of 2005,[18] and the song tied with Damian Marley's "Welcome to Jamrock" for number five on the 2005 Pazz & Jop, a survey of several hundred music critics conducted by Robert Christgau.[19]
On the other hand, Jason Damas, in a review for PopMatters, felt that the song sounds "almost exactly like Dizzee Rascal", and added, "Lyrically, this is where Gwen sinks the lowest here, especially on a breakdown where she repeats, 'This shit is bananas / B-A-N-A-N-A-S!' several times".[20] Eric Greenwood of Drawer B called the song "moronic and embarrassingly tuneless. I'd quote the lyrics, but they're so bad, I almost feel sorry for her. A 35-year-old woman singing about pom-poms and 'talking shit' in high school betrays such a delusional self-image that it's hard not to be taken aback. And on top of that, The Neptunes' beats are clunky and the production is senselessly bombastic."[21] Nick Sylvester of Pitchfork Media also criticized the track, referring to it as a "Queen pastiche [...] which has about as much club potential as a 13-year old with a milk moustache and his dad's ID".[22] However, despite this initial review, Pitchfork Media would later place the track at number thirty-five on its list of the Top 50 Singles of 2005,[23] and at number 180 on its list of The Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s.[24] Maxim was unimpressed with the song, and in its October 2005 issue, published a list of the "20 Most Annoying Songs Ever" with "Hollaback Girl" in first place.[25]
Chart performance[edit]
The single was officially solicited to radio in North America on April 5, 2005, although the music video had been released two weeks earlier, on March 21. "Hollaback Girl" entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number eighty-two on the issue dated April 2, 2005,[26] and within six weeks of its release, it had reached the top of the chart, making it the fastest-rising single to reach the top in 2005; it also became Stefani's first US number one.[27] It maintained the number-one position for four weeks.[28] The single spent thirty-one weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, twenty-nine of which were in the top fifty.[27] On the 2005 year-end chart, the song was the second most successful single, beaten by Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together".[29]
"Hollaback Girl" held the record for most US radio airplays in one week, with 9,582 plays, and maintained this feat for over a year before Shakira and Wyclef Jean's "Hips Don't Lie" overtook the position.[30] It peaked at number one on the Billboard Pop 100 for eight weeks,[31] and was a small success in the dance clubs, peaking at number fifteen on the Hot Dance Club Play chart.[32] The song was a crossover success, and reached number four on the Rhythmic Top 40 and number eight on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[32]
The song was noted for having a large number of digital downloads, becoming the first single to sell more digital downloads than CDs.[33] In October 2005, "Hollaback Girl" was the first single to ever sell one million digital downloads and later went on to sell a total of 1.2 million downloads;[33][34] it was certified 5× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.[35] It was later re-certified Platinum, for the same sales, due to the change of the RIAA certification criteria for singles.[36] (The number of sales required to qualify for gold and platinum discs was lower for digital singles prior to August 2006. The thresholds were 100,000 units (gold) and 200,000 units (platinum), reflecting an increase in digital downloads.)[37] Due to its downloads, it reached number one on both digital sales charts concurrently, and it topped the Hot Digital Songs year-end chart.[38]
"Hollaback Girl" was successful in Canada, where the song debuted at number twelve on the Canadian Singles Chart; however, it fell from there and was unable to reach a higher position.[39] It remained in the top fifty for six months.[39] However, Graham Henderson, president of the Canadian Recording Industry Association, later argued that based on Canada's population relative to the US, the single should have sold around 120,000 copies and that the comparatively lower sales of 25,000 were a sign that the Canadian copyright law should be tightened to discourage non-commercial peer-to-peer file sharing.[40] Columnist Michael Geist disputed the comparison, arguing that the Canadian online music market was still developing.[41]
In the rest of the world, reaction to "Hollaback Girl" was generally positive, though not as overwhelming as in North America. It was released in Australia on May 23, 2005, debuting at number one,[42] and in Europe on June 6, 2005, debuting at number twenty-two and eventually reaching number five on the European Hot 100 Singles.[43] In the United Kingdom, however, "Hollaback Girl" did not perform as well as Stefani's previous releases. The song's predecessors, "What You Waiting For?" and "Rich Girl", had both reached number four, while "Hollaback Girl" debuted at number eight, and stalled at the same position the following week.[44] Although its UK success was limited, it remained in the top forty for an additional eleven weeks and outsold "Rich Girl".[44] The single was largely successful across Europe, reaching the top five in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Ireland, and the top ten in Belgium, Finland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland.[45]
Music video[edit]
The music video was directed by Paul Hunter and filmed in the Van Nuys and Reseda neighborhoods of Los Angeles, California.[46] The video opens with a scene of Stefani spending time with her Harajuku Girls, when a crowd of students appears. Stefani and the Harajuku Girls then drive down Sherman Way past Magnolia Science Academy to Birmingham High School in a 1961 Chevrolet Impala, accompanied by the crowd.[46][47] Stefani and the group cause a commotion when they disrupt a football game by walking onto the field and when they go to a 99 Cents Only Store and throw cereal and other food products down an aisle. Throughout the video, there are intercut sequences of choreographed dancing filmed in a sound stage, intended to represent Stefani's imagination.[48] Stefani and the Harajuku Girls are outfitted in cheerleading uniforms, accompanied by several Californian spirit groups: the Orange Crush All Stars, a cheerleading squad from Orange County; a marching band from Fountain Valley High School in Fountain Valley; a pep flag team named the Carson High School Flaggies from Carson; and a drill team from Stephen M. White Middle School in Carson.[46] To visualize the song's bridge, the Harajuku Girls spell the word "bananas" with cue cards. The video ends with a close-up frame of Stefani with her arms in the air.
The Chevy Impala convertible from the video includes a painting by artist J. Martin.[5] The design includes Stefani as seen on the album cover of Love. Angel. Music. Baby. with the words "Hollaback Girl" in calligraphy. Eventually, the car was sold on eBay.[5] Pharrell Williams, one of the song's co-producers, makes a cameo appearance. The complete version of "Hollaback Girl" featured in the music video was released commercially through CD singles and digital downloads, and some include remixes by Diplo and Tony Kanal.
The video debuted on March 21, 2005 and proved successful on video chart programs.[49] It debuted on MTV's Total Request Live on March 31 at number ten and remained on the program for a total of fifty days,[50] becoming what Rolling Stone called "a staple of MTV's TRL".[51] The video reached the top of the chart[52] and was retired at number four on June 23, becoming Stefani's first video to retire.[53] It also reached the top of MuchMusic's Countdown three months after its debut, and remained there for two weeks.[39] VH1 listed the video at number five on its Top 40 Videos of 2005,[54] and at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards, the video received four nominations,[55] but only won the award for Best Choreography.[56] Stefani did not attend the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards, prompting rumors that she was protesting her lack of nominations the previous year, her multiple losses to Kelly Clarkson, and her not having been asked to perform.[57] Stefani denied the rumors, responding, "the only reason I am not attending the MTV Video Music Awards is because I will be recording and spending time with my family."[57]
Live performances[edit]
"Hollaback Girl" was featured on Stefani's concert tours Harajuku Lovers Tour (2005) and The Sweet Escape Tour (2007). The song was also performed at the 2005 Teen Choice Awards, Late Show with David Letterman and Saturday Night Live.
In pop culture[edit]
"Hollaback Girl" was mocked on an episode of the animated television series Family Guy titled "Deep Throats"; after watching a VH1 special about Stefani, Brian Griffin states, "I don't know what a Hollaback Girl is. All I know is that I want her dead."[58] The song was mocked again in another episode of Family Guy, this time in the guise of a parody of the feature film The Shawshank Redemption. In the film, Red (played by Morgan Freeman), upon hearing the duettino "Sull'aria" (from Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro) for the first time, states that he has no idea what the women are singing about, but imagines it must be something beautiful. In the parody, Cleveland Brown (playing the role of Red) hears "Hollaback Girl" and likewise claims to have no idea what Stefani is singing about—even though the lyrics are not in a foreign language (as is the issue in the film). Cleveland imagines it is "a foul, disease-ridden thing, that wears too much makeup to cover up the fact that it's a 47 year-old fish-dog".
The beginning of the song was used at the intro music for Mai's Blog, a series of mock-vlog entries by self-centred, mean-spirited Mai, broadcast as a segment of the fourth season of the Israeli satire show Eretz Nehederet. The song's bridge, in which Stefani exclaims "This shit is bananas" and then proceeds to spell bananas, was later parodied in an episode of the claymation television show Celebrity Deathmatch, in which Stefani spells out bananas, broccoli, and kumquat during an interview with Tally Wong.[59] "Hollaback Girl" was played three times in the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 10 episode "The Gang Misses the Boat". The song is featured prominently in the 2014 film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles during a flashback sequence involving the young turtles. The song was also featured in Orange Is the New Black 's season 3 in a flashback involving Officer John Bennett (portrayed by Matt McGorry).

Diplo made a remix for the track after M.I.A. turned down an offer to produce one.[60] Tony Kanal, fellow No Doubt member, produced a remix titled the Dancehollaback Remix. The track features reggae singer Elan Atias, whose debut album Kanal produced, and appears as a single on iTunes, on the CD single for "Cool", and on the bonus CD of the deluxe edition of Love. Angel. Music. Baby. Stefani later requested to contribute vocals on "I Wanna Yell" from Atias's debut album Together as One,[61] and was featured on his song "Allnighter". Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship also recorded a parody of this song titled "Hollaback Boy".[62]

BVI adds new $5 security fee to departure tax
Published: May 12, 2014
Font size: [A] [A] [A]
ST. THOMAS - The British Virgin Islands is hiking up the cost to visit and leave its waters once more.
The BVI Port Authority will require a $5 security fee from all visitors leaving the islands, no matter where they are returning to.
Why it is called a security fee is not clear, as BVI Port Authority spokeswoman April Glasgow did not know whether any of the revenue collected would go toward boosting the security of the BVI's ports.
Beginning July 1, the fee will be tacked on starting to the BVI's existing departure tax, which increased in August last year.
The BVI Office of the Premier and the BVI Ministry of Finance voted in June last year to bump the $5 per person departure tax, which applies to residents and non-residents, to $10 per person for residents and $15 for non-residents.
With the security fee, residents now will pay $15 per person, and non-residents will pay $20.
"When it went up from $5, I was surprised, but, now? Wow," said Kelly Kiernan, a member of the V.I. government's Marine Economic Development Council.
The charters can only absorb so many of the increases, Kiernan said, and many of them may be at a tipping point and will have to pass the cost on to their clients.
"There are deeper pockets that they could be going to," Kiernan said, noting that cruise ship companies are unaffected by the fees imposed by ports. "People may start rethinking going to the BVI."
BVI Premier Orlando Smith has said the boost was necessary given that fewer people now are traveling to the BVI by plane, and more are doing so by boat.
The money collected from the security fee will go toward improving the BVI Port Authority's existing facilities, according to Glasgow. She did not say how much revenue the BVI Port Authority expects to collect from the increase.
"With the new fees, they can expect to see better facilities," Glasgow said.
Smith and the BVI Ministry of Finance approved the new fee in June last year, alongside the departure tax, Glasgow said. At the time, Smith said that the tax increases would help counter the stagnant revenue intake resulting from fewer flight passengers and more boat passengers coming into the BVI.
The BVI Port Authority has received calls from the owners and operators of both BVI and U.S. Virgin Islands vessels about the new fee, along with the tax increases in recent months, Glasgow said.
Many of the U.S. Virgin Islands owners and operators have been equally upset with the V.I. Port Authority, after it raised fees in April.
The V.I. Port Authority increased its ship dues from 85 cents to $2, and raised inbound and outbound wharfage fees from $1 to $3 per passenger for all commercial vessels using V.I. Port Authority facilities on their way to or from waters outside of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Alternate title: Savage Breed
Conflicts between home and a better life far away, and issues of loyalty and ethics are all addressed in this interesting drama from Pasquale Squitieri. Mario (Saverio Marconi) has left Sicily to go work in the northern city of Turin, where he lives with his sister and niece. His good friend Umberto (Stefano Madia) is now the owner of a successful nightclub and is one of the reasons why Mario is willing to stay with his factory job here. But during one weekend in the city, Mario's misplaced faith in his friend and relatives is trampled, as a whole new, realistic view of their lives opens up. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

well good luck, i hope its an exciting fight i just don't like to see guys get jumped up in competition so soon. it makes more sense to do things the boxing way and build up prospects slower without throwing people to the wolves the second they get to the UFC. this card doesn't have the name recognition of other UFCs but every single fight on this card looks like it is going to be fireworks and im pretty pumped for it.
9/9/12 9:26 AM by NorthFromHere
I'm so glad I get to see this card live in Nottingham. Can't wait for the debuts of Jimi and Gunnar.This card may lack big names but it has excellent match-ups on it. Hardy-Sadollah, Sass-Wiman, Pickett-Jabouin and Mills-Ludwig = exciting entertainment

Krauss is no joke but I expect gunnar to run right through him

In the prelims of that card we will get to see a future champ make his UFC debut. The biggest phenom since BJ Penn. Gunnar Nelson.

Smoke bomb thrown during Burton football match
Posted: February 11, 2013|
POLICE are looking for troublemakers who set off a smoke bomb and flare at a Burton football match.
On Saturday, Burton Albion played Rotherham in a league fixture at Pirelli Stadium.
During the game there was a small fracas in the away terrace involving Rotherham supporters.
A smoke bomb and flare were set off in the away terrace, and a number of fans were ejected.
And just before 1pm an incident occurred in the Lord Burton in High Street between Rotherham and Leeds fans.
The Leeds fans had stopped off in Burton on their way to their team's match against Wolverhampton Wanders.
This incident of public order was attended by officers and both groups were dispersed.
Towards the end of the game objects, including plastic bottles and coins, were thrown at officials and police officers.
After the game a small number of Rotherham supporters attended the town centre.
Just before 6pm they went into Rileys Pool and Snooker Club in High Street and were involved in an incident of disorder.
Police attended and the group were dispersed. It is not believed anyone was injured.
Officers investigating these incidents have seized CCTV and, working in coordination with colleagues from South Yorkshire Police, West Yorkshire Police and Burton Albion Football Club, will be examining the footage to identify the individuals involved.
Chief Inspector Steve Maskrey, East Staffordshire local policing team commander, said: "The match was attended by around 1,900 Rotherham fans and those involved in these incidents account for only a small minority.
"The vast majority watched the match, along with home supporters, and remained in good spirits causing no problems whatsoever.
"The behaviour displayed by these so-called 'football fans' is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. We have already identified a number of individuals from the South Yorkshire area and they can expect a knock on the door in the not to distant future.
"I would urge anyone who witnessed either incident, or anyone who can identify those involved, to contact us immediately."
Anyone with information can contact football liaison officer Gary Lote on 01283 238259.

Samuel Vincent (born Samuel Vincent Khouth on October 5, 1971) is a Canadian voice actor and singer who works with the Ocean Group based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He was born over in North Vancouver, British Columbia.
He is best known as Edd from Ed, Edd n Eddy. His notable anime roles include Athrun Zala from Gundam Seed, Dexter from Hamtaro, Peach Man (Tokajin) from InuYasha, and Julian Star from Cardcaptors. Other roles include Forge from X-Men Evolution and Baby Bugs, Baby Daffy and Baby Tweety from Baby Looney Tunes.

He also voiced Charizard's singing voice from Charizard Nitan.
Samuel started voice-acting in 1990. He was also born in the same place as Matt Hill, who provides the voice of Ed in the cartoon Ed, Edd n Eddy. The two are often cast together as friends, most famously as the two protagonists of the Gundam SEED franchise; Athrun Zala (Vincent) and Kira Yamato (Hill).
He is sometimes credited as Sam Vincent or Sam Khouth. His brother Gabe Khouth is also a voice actor, and he has worked alongside Samuel on Gundam SEED; he played Nicol Amalfi.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! Our group, Continental Crossings, is a group of five students (including myself) from the University of Iowa and we are trying to raise funds to build a footbridge in Nicaragua next summer.
In June 2010, Continental Crossings traveled to Zambia, Central Africa, and built a 54 meter bridge across a stream that was completely impassable during the rainy season. The following year in June 2011, the team built a bridge in Guadalupe, Nicaragua.
Our current Continental Crossings group is now involved in designing another pedestrian bridge in the community of Jucuapa Occidental, Nicaragua. We will be traveling there in November for a site assessment and to develop relations with the community. Over winter we will be designing the bridge and traveling next summer for its construction. The members have in-country construction experience which will be vital in the assessment and implementation trips.
Peace Corps volunteer, Ryan Hubbard, says this about the 2012 bridge site- "I'm currently living about 10km south of Matagalpa City in a little community called Jucuapa Occidental. There is a river that runs though the center of our town, dividing the community and making access out of Jucuapa impossible during much of the rainy season, leaving nearly 200 people stranded for days on end. This limited access has been detrimental to every aspect of life in Jucuapa Occidental. It prevents access to the secondary school in our neighboring community, which has resulted in many of our youth not continuing their education. There is no access to medical facilities after heavy rains, so it is very common for people in town to die when they get sick due to lack of health care. Day to day life is slowed down and access to food and supplies are pretty much at the mercy of the river. I've been hoping to build a bridge in this community, it seems that your knowledge and resources within Bridges to Prosperity could possibly make this a reality for Jucuapa Occidental."
The success of the 2012 project, as well as others in the future, will depend on the support of people like you. Please support us in any way that you can.
All donations, since they go to our partner B2P, are tax deductible and you will receive a receipt with your donation. Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. If you cannot donate, please help spread the word about our mission.

Anyone here? Hello? Been some time since i've been here, its great to see how's everyone doing?
This is totally weird.
Uhm, how to start...uh, joined the military, some of you may have known that...my course is 2 years long, and i'm graduating in september, i'll be an avionic systems technician (apprentice), and i've been really focused on that, because it's my only shot at a decent career...

The Sweet Life: Sweet Potatoes recepie
Asian-influenced salmon burgers
The idea for this recipe stems from one of my all-time favorite cookbooks, Biscuits and Scones, by Elizabeth Alston; it was a going-away to grad school present from a favorite aerobics class participant. It is petite perfection: 62 sweet and savory recipes, of which I have tried almost all (biscuits and scones fit well with a graduate student budget). Ms. Alston's accompanying prose is lively and informative, and the recipes are flawless.
Need a tasty dinner idea? Try these quick burritos.
This dish, straight from the pages of my last book, So What Can I Eat?! (Wiley, 2006), is one of my family's favorites.
After a long day at the office, the last thing many people want to do is bust out the apron and mixing bowls. Here's a hearty, easy jambalaya recepie that anyone can whip up. Just combine, put in slow cooker, and enjoy!

I was never really meant to bartend. I bitterly became one because the real one never showed up to work. The real animosity comes from having to make ten lemon drops for a bunch of high-fiving babe magnets. To avoid displays of idiotic behavior such as this (the dudes And the lemon drops), here are some must-have starters for your home bar:
WARNING: This recipe is not diet food. It is fattening and delicious and a wonderful dish to impress your friends with.
Every year, as soon as the sun comes out in August and we all can finally start drinking on our porches and rooftops comfortably, I launch my annual crusade to bring back the Lynchburg Lemonade, a fantastic cocktail best served in mammoth qualities and anchored by sweet, wonderful Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey.

I was one of Rachael Ray's biggest fans when she first hit the broadcast cooking scene: her fresh and kicky spirit matched the colorful, quick and healthy dishes she seemed to turn out with little effort but loads of personality! This was one of the first recipes I tried from her ever-expanding collection, and it's still my 'go-to' version for delicious ahi at home. Her on-air presentation taught me how to cook it correctly (fast and hot!) so that it will be rare on the inside but seared brown and crisp on the outside. This recipe looks long and complicated, but it's so fast and easy...perfect for a busy weeknight. As she would say: DELISH!

BT Home Hub 3 promises interference-free Wi-Fi
updated 12:00 pm EST, Fri February 4, 2011
BT intros Home Hub 3 with anti-interference Wi-Fi
BT on Friday added a new Wi-Fi router of its own designed to thrive in a wireless-heavy environment. Similar to some more advanced independent routers, the Home Hub 3 has its own intelligent channel selection to avoid interference. The approach minimizes the likelihood of a baby monitor or other 2.4GHz device slowing down or stopping the Internet connection.
Its technique is dynamic and will re-scan if it detects new interference in the area.
The British ISP's new router is about half the size of the Home Hub 2 it replaces but still has the expansion of a usual router. It can talk directly to ADSL or fiber modems and has four Ethernet ports for wired clients, the fourth of which runs at gigabit speeds to handle very large or frequent transfers. A USB port can share devices across the network.
BT will start handing out the Home Hub 3 to new customers on February 28, but existing customers can trade up for �46 ($74). [via Pocket-lint]

Sheriff orders probe after sixth mistaken release from jail
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas
A sheriff has ordered a criminal investigation of her own department after six inmates were released by mistake this year.
The Nueces County sheriff's office had instituted safeguards earlier this month after five inmates were mistakenly released from the county jail, but another erroneous release was discovered Tuesday.
"Preliminary information indicates that there may be highly suspicious circumstances surrounding this latest incident," Sheriff Rebecca Stutts said Tuesday in a statement.
Chief Deputy Jimmy Rodriguez said the office would not release the name of the sixth wrongly released inmate, who was let out Friday, the charges against him or the circumstances of the release.
"I think an outside audit would show whether sabotage was involved, hopefully," county Commissioner Chuck Cazalas said of the sheriff's order for an investigation by an outside law enforcement agency. "In fact, I am going to ask that she check ... 2005 and 2004 and see if we have had a problem then as well."

CLEARANCE - NIC Yearbook 96 - HARDCOVER EDITION
Yakovenko Gets There First in the Exchange SpanishProduct Code: B0096HYB
Publisher: New In Chess
Author: New In Chess
Year of Publication: 2010
Pages: 248
Notation Type: Figurine (FAN)
Book DescriptionNew In Chess Yearbook, which appears four times a year, contains the latest news in chess openings, and each issue brings you dozens of new ideas on the cutting edge of modern chess theory. The Yearbook not only covers the latest fashion, but also offers fresh insights into underrated gambits, rare continuations, and almost forgotten weapons. A must-have publication for serious chess students.
ForumReaders from all over the world join in discussions on previous Surveys. Titled players, correspondence players and club players shed their light on opening developments and search for the truth together. With contributions by Anish Giri, Ashot Nadanian, Efstratios Grivas, Jose Vilela, and many others.
Sosonko's CornerIn this Corner, Sosonko focuses on preparation aimed at a specific opponent. How did star players like Magnus Carlsen, Anatoly Karpov and Mikhail Tal adapt their opening choice to the strengths and weaknesses of their rivals? In short; how do you surprise an opponent who thinks he knows everything about you?
ReviewsGlenn Flear has read four books on gambits for this Yearbook. Part four of John Watson's famous 'Mastering the Chess Openings' series concentrates largely on gambits. David Vigorito's 'Understanding the Marshall Attack' is on a mainstream opening which, however, started long ago as a gambit and in fact still is one! Boris Alterman's 'The Alterman Gambit Guide - White Gambits' is a repertoire book for players who like to sac a pawn for sharp positions, whereas Kiril Georgiev's 'Squeezing the Gambits' aims to give good antidotes to the Benko, Budapest, Albin (Counter-) and Blumenfeld Gambits.

Known not only as the last Grand Prix of this year's Formula One World Championship, but also for its unusual counter-clockwise Sao Paulo circuit, Brail's Interlagos received the distinction this week as luxury watchmaker HUBLOT honored it with its own timepiece, the F1 King Power Interlagos.

How To Draw A Face
Professional artist shows VideoJug users how to draw a basic face. Taking you through every aspect of the face, this video is perfect for budding artists wanting to know how to draw a face.
Step 1: You will need
- Paper
- Pencils
- Ruler
Step 2: Outline
Heads are never circular, they are oval shaped, the same as an egg. So sketch an oval outline that tapers down at the bottom.
Step 3: Dividing Lines
The easiest way to start is to use dividing lines to map out the proportions of the face. Firstly, draw a line down the centre of the oval. Then cut the oval in half again, this time horizontally.
Step 4: Nose
Divide the lower half again with another horizontal line. The point at which this crosses the vertical line is where you should begin to draw the base of the nose. Sketch out the base of the nose and a nostril either side.
Step 5: The Mouth
Divide the bottom quarter in half again. The bottom of the lips will rest on the dividing line you have just drawn. Draw a line for where the lips meet and then draw the top lip. Now fill in the bottom of the lip.
Step 6: Eyes
Now draw two big circular balls to make out the eyes across the central horizontal line. These will form the eye sockets. The top of this circle is where the eyebrow is and at the bottom is where the cheek bone sits.
Draw the eyeball floating in the centre of the socket. You then need to work on the shape of the eyes. Eyes are almond shaped, so bear this in mind as you sketch them. As a rule of thumb, the distance between the two eyes is the width of another eye.
The colour in the centre of the eyeball is called the iris. Inside the iris, draw the pupil which is the darkest bit of the eye. Fill most of it in black and leave a little white. With your pencil flat, use a bit of shading for the base. Now rub out the guidelines below the eye.
Next draw the top of the eyelid over the top of the almond. The base of the eyelid comes down over the top of the iris and covers the top of it slightly.
Step 7: Shading under the Eyes
Now add a little shading underneath the eye and where the eye meets the nose to define the socket.
Step 8: The Ears
The base of the ear should be drawn in line with the bottom of the nose and the top of the ear in line with the eyebrows. Remember, ears should be flat against the side of the head.
Step 9: The Hair
Make sure that you draw the hair from the parting outwards.
Step 10: The Neck
Necks are thicker than you imagine. Draw two lines coming down from roughly where the bottom horizontal line meets the edges of the face.
Step 11: Details
Add a bit of shading under the nose and accentuate the chin and expression lines around the mouth. Then outline the ridge of the nose.
Step 12: Clean Up
Use a rubber to remove any guidelines.

This 2012 photo released by A&E shows, from left, Phil Robertson, Jase Robertson, Si Robertson and Willie Robertson from the A&E series, 'Duck Dynasty.' The A&E channel says 'Duck Dynasty' patriarch Phil Robertson is off the show indefinitely after condemning gays as sinners in a magazine interview. In a statement Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2013, A&E said it was extremely disappointed to read Robertson's comments in GQ magazine.
- Filed Under
Regarding the coming appearance of "Duck Dynasty" at the Iowa State Fair: As a past admirer of "Duck Commander" hunting videos, I attended a "Duck Dynasty" speaking engagement in Colorado.
After shelling out a considerable sum for a VIP meet-and-greet session, I arrived to stand in line with over 300 other VIP patrons. I was told I would have 7.5 seconds with each of Willie and Phil Robertson. When I finally made it to their table, I was rushed through in seconds. I handed my Bible to Phil for an autograph and he scribbled an illegible name. My "VIP Seating" ended up being in the 15th row next to non-VIP patrons who paid nearly one-tenth the price of my experience.
When the program started, Willie spoke about the makings of their show. Phil then took the stage with a few minutes of duck-calling, followed with a lengthy rant about how Americans are being denied the rights written in the United States Constitution.
Disgusted, I got up and left before it ended. The event was nothing but a marketing scheme that took money from hard-working Americans. The VIP patrons alone shelled out more than $40,000 for 7.5 seconds of greed.
Take my advice: Save your money for something meaningful and lasting for you and your family.
- Mark Nall, Adel

Eighteen-month-old Cody and 5-year-old Kaitlyn Johnson were trapped inside their Northglenn home on Feb. 23.
Northglenn Police say their father, Bill Johnson, barricaded them inside the home and set it on fire just after 4 a.m.
Cody suffered major smoke inhalation from the fire. He recovered much sooner than his sister.
"Cody's doing really well," said his mother, Rosie Jungst-Johnson Thursday. "He's been off the ventilator for a few days now. I'm so excited for him because he was so happy, to be outside, and he was pointing at all the buildings and talking up a storm."
Cody's sister, Kaitlyn is still recovering in the Intensive Care Unit of a local hospital, Jungst-Johnson says. Jungst-Johnson also says Kaitlyn has burns on 50 percent of her body, including her face and back.
"She's already had multiple surgeries," she said. "And she's got multiple surgeries left to go through."
Rosie Jungst-Johnson had filed for divorce in January from her husband Bill. Johnson is accused of severely beating her before setting their Northglenn home on fire.
As of Thursday, Adams County had still not filed charges against Johnson. At last report, he was still in critical condition in a local hospital. Jungst-Johnson says she was thankful for continued prayers and support from community members.
Still, she and her kids need funds for medical bills, a new home and furnishings for a new home after the fire. Two funds are set up for the young children. You can donate to the "Little Heroes Fund" at any Wells Fargo branch or the Rosie Johnson Fund 1st Bank Branch.

She may only be 16. But Tamara Foster already has the confidence of a seasoned diva. The talented singer originally entered the X Factor auditions as part of a duo, only to be put through as a solo artist.
After forgetting the words at her first arena audition when she struggled through Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing, Tamara sang a pitch perfect version of Rihanna's Stay, remembering every lyric, and getting through as one of Nicole Scherzinger's final six girls.
But, Tamara took it all in her stride, later saying: "I knew I had it down. I wasn't nervous. I had been practising loads and I knew it was going to be fine. Actually, I woke up and did 20 minutes of meditation that morning and then practised more. It calmed me."
She did reveal that she started to feel nervous after taking her seat as one of the six girls through to the judges' houses stage. This year, a new twist meant that judges can swap a contestant, even if they have already said yes to them, if someone else puts in a more impressive performance.
"I was scared someone was going to take my place. I was praying the whole time I was in that chair. I know everything happens for a reason, and that's why I'm here. I'm just glad Abi Alton – who I'm close to – got through Bootcamp with me."
Nineteen-year-old Abi, who has been compared to Ellie Goulding because of the unique tone to her voice, ended up taking Essex girl Lydia Lucy's seat, a move which has caused controversy over the new X Factor rules.
While Abi was gutted at having to oust someone else, she has spoken about her delight at getting through. "Wow guys," she says, "bootcamp was tough so im glad you thought I pulled it out of the bag!"
"That reaction from the audience was a little bit of heaven " she adds. Gary Barlow described her as "amazing" saying she was a "real artist".
Abi has also had support from fellow North Easterner, James Arthur, who won last year's X Factor. "Well done @abialtonmusic reppin boro for us!" he says.
Abi and Tamara join Melanie McCabe, Relly Clarke, Hannah Barrett and Jade Richards.

Updated 04/01/2014
On the north side of the Sunset Strip, the ANdAZ is a youthful update of the former Hyatt West Hollywood, catering to hipsters, techies, and rock stars. Enter to find standing "hosts" welcoming guests and checking them in via tablets (there's no front desk). Sip a bit of tea or a glass of wine in the lounge and wander over to the wide-open hotel restaurant, Riot House, and its equally open kitchen that serves Southern French–accented dishes made with California ingredients. Generous-size rooms are spare, but the sensible minimalism results in ample work space with task chair, a comfy seating area, and vented windows. One nice touch: The refrigerator is stocked with free nonalcoholic drinks and healthful snacks. Check out the rooftop pool deck for jetliner city views.
8401 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, California, 90069, United States

I figured this would be the best forum to post this.
I've notice, while riding my (RIP) single speed hybrid and my friends (gave it back ) Trek 3900 that I suffer from hot foot issues on my right foot during long rides. I try to take pressure off of it and make sure that I'm pushing evenly hard with both feet, but its pretty localized to just my right foot. What can I do about this?
