text: Sleep Apnea Sleep apnea occurs when you briefly stop breathing during sleep. This common sleep disorder contributes to many medical problems like high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke. It also affects your quality of life by causing general drowsiness, irritability, lack of energy and focus. Job performance and driving safety can be greatly diminished as well. Most people don't even realize they have sleep apnea, but you're more likely to have it if you're diabetic, overweight, have high blood pressure or have a heart rhythm disturbance called atrial fibrillation. If your bed partner says you snore, snort, gasp or choke or stop breathing during sleep, you may have sleep apnea. A sleep study is needed to make an accurate diagnosis, but if you suspect you have a sleep disorder, talk to your doctor.

Florida Farm Distillers makes a strong, but smooth Florida bourbon-style whiskey
Bourbon can burn as we all know, although it's a burn I rather like at times. But sometimes the taste can be a lovely touch on the tongue and will definitely warm you on a cold evening.
Those cold evenings are hopefully gone from Florida for a while, but there is a local distillery that is producing a bourbon-style whiskey that will definitely keep you warm if those evenings should visit again before summer.
I recently got a chance to sample a taste of Palm Ridge Reserve, a bourbon-style whiskey from Florida Farm Distillers. The Umatilla-based distiller prides itself on making its handmade micro-batch Florida whiskey. Even though there was a bit of wincing involved (the stuff is strong) upon first sip, it's very smooth once it goes down and in fact a nice, sweet taste stayed in my mouth after.
I know I'm Irish, but I don't love all whiskeys. I wouldn't say I necessarily love Palm Ridge but I like it a lot more than some of what I've had out there. But keep in mind, this is strong stuff.
Bourbon is usually associated with Kentucky, named after Bourbon County, Kentucky, and I have to say I'm impressed with this Lake County 90-proof. Locally sold, I've been told at Publix liquor stores and Total Wine & More, they only make 500 cases a year. If you try it, let me know what you think.

Excellent Product - Excellent Service!
I was looking to purchase a gift for someone special, when I happened come across the Bosca website. Once I found the zippered portfolio, I realized it was just what I was looking for. I had a few questions about it before I purchased and customer service was extremely helpful and personable. They went above and beyond to make sure my order was perfectly monogrammed and that I received it by my needed date. When it arrived it was absolutely beautiful and I couldn't have been happier. The quality and attention to detail far exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be purchasing from Bosca again!

Gorgeous, soft, plush leather! LOVE it!
I purchased this lovely portfolio for my husband for our third wedding anniversary (leather year). The first one we received had a less-than-stellar monogram, so I contacted the company who JUMPED at the chance to make it all right! They sent us a new one immediately and it was PERFECT! My husband LOVES it and the customer service was impeccable! Thank you, Bosca, for being such a wonderful company!!!

Will Chamois Cream Help Me?
Submitted by David on
By: Michael J. Zerinskas, CEO of BALM Co.
While chamois cream may be the most used performance skincare product on the market, by no means is it prevalent. This is due to a number of reasons: some people never feel the need to use it, others have tried it, but feel it does not work, while others simply do not know what it is or how to use it properly.
Your education first starts with knowing what a chamois cream is and how to use it. In this article we will explore discomfort while riding and whether chamois cream will help you in particular…
I spend a lot of time on forums answering questions about how to properly use embrocation, cooling creams, and chamois creams especially. Some people just need a simple tutorial on what the product is for, but others are more critical because they think chamois cream will do something it will not. This leads to athletes branding chamois creams as unneeded or unhelpful.
Lets take a look at the four main ways that cyclists encounter pain on a bike: bike fit, saddle choice, fatigue, and clothing.
Bike Fit – This is the first step in making sure that you will have hours and hours of fun atop a bike. A bike fit should typically be done before you even purchase a bike; a proper fitter will be able to tell you either the geometry you should shop for or specific models and stem lengths to suit your riding style, flexibility, and specific needs.
If you do not have a properly fitted bike beneath you, this will place too much weight in an area that it was not designed for. This will undoubtedly lead to decreased comfort, increased shifting around, and all in all not a fun time. You will often hop off your steed with intensely sore muscles, especially in the glutes and lower back.
Chamois cream will not directly help any muscle pain or soreness due to improper fit/positioning on a bike. It will however cut down or eliminate the chafing caused by increased shifting in the saddle, which indirectly makes even an ill-fitting bike more comfortable.
Saddle Choice – Even a properly fitted bike can become unridable without a saddle that is tailored to your needs. If you want an excellent primer on how to begin to choose a saddle that is right for you, visit the Fizik website. Long story short is that your flexibility dictates saddle choice. If a rider has more or less flexibility in the lower back, the position changes. This means that the majority of the weight shifts depending on how you are leaning over. If your current saddle is not designed to support that weight in that specific spot, you are going to develop muscle pain, discomfort, and increased chaffing. In addition, if you are a cyclist with a fair amount of flexibility riding a saddle designed for an upright position, this will cause massive amounts of friction and chafing due to your things contacting the thicker, rearward portion of the saddle.
Chamois cream will help dramatically with fiction development and chafing, even making the ride on a 'bad' saddle better, but the cure will always be to obtain a more suitable saddle. This can only be done through testing different saddles by different manufacturers that fall into your flexibility range.
Fatigue – A rider who is straddling a properly fitted bike with a saddle designed for their flexibility and riding style is still prone to discomfort on long rides. This is due to the overall effects of fatigue. Fatigue can come about by simply pushing your body past it's comfort level, but also because of increased weight or fitness level.
It is no secret that heavier riders have a tendency to experience more glute soreness than lighter riders. It is also true that riders who are more fit and with greater muscle development (especially in the core) experience less muscle soreness and fatigue than those who are not. When you are fatigued, you shift your weight around, squirm on the saddle, and try different positions in attempt to become comfortable once again. All this does is increase friction and chafing, which intensifies muscle discomfort.
If you are a new rider, take a deep breath; these things are normal. If you understand and expect these truths ahead of time, you will be able to get through it much easier. However, this is another case where chamois cream helps dramatically. A chamois cream will prevent chafing, decrease discomfort, and allow you to remain in your correct positioning longer.
More time on the bike means more fitness, greater core strength, and less kilos.
Clothing – In addition to the above ways that chafing develops, clothing choice plays a very important part. While I understand that cycling has an inherently high barrier of entry from a monetary standpoint, I cannot stress enough the need to buy quality, high-end clothing. I know what you're going to say here, "Well, I don't plan on riding the Tour de France." I know, I know, I work in a bike shop and hear that every single day. Stop saying that. Stop justifying the purchase of crappy clothes and then having a crappy time wearing them. First and foremost, you need proper, tight-fitting bibs or shorts. Riding in your everyday clothes is hell on wheels. I'll sometimes make the 8 mile trip to the bike shop in my jeans and curse myself every time. If you want to wear normal clothes, or in the case of MTBers baggy shorts, you should wear a liner with a pad in it.
Your bibs have to fit tightly on the skin. Upon first dressing, they should fit a tad too tight. This is a good thing, as a loose fitting chamois pad will simply shift all around as you ride and, you guessed it, increase friction. Chamois cream helps this, but only so much.
Do not layer shorts/bibs either… for the reason just mentioned. If you need warmer clothes for colder rides, invest in thermal tights, knickers, or bibs. Between the increased thermal properties of your clothing and your radiant body heat, you will be fine, especially on the legs. The only exception here would be chamoisless thermal tights that are designed to be worn over regular bibs. The key word there is "designed."
If you still find yourself cold, make sure that you are adequately clothed around the torso. The body naturally filters blood flow away from the extremities when your core temperature is too low. This is one of the many reasons why embrocation is important… but that's another article.
As you have noticed, chafing presents a big problem for cyclists. Frankly, its lurking around every corner trying to spoil your fun. In every one of the circumstances above, chamois cream will help make your rides more enjoyable, but it is when you have those other variables in place (bike fit, correct saddle, high quality clothes, and fitness) that the real fun begins.
A nice smear of chamois cream lets you explore just a little bit farther on your Sunday ride, it nudges you to climb that mountain pass you never have, and makes cycling more effortless. And isn't that what we are all after?

How to use it properly......
Submitted by JS (not verified) on
while others simply do not know what it is or how to use it properly....Your education first starts with knowing what a chamois cream is and how to use it.
So, do you slather it all over your Chamois an inch thick or just a thin coating on the skin? Perhaps a dab behind the ear? Pretzel dip?

Great for traveling with your dog. The lid can be used for a bowl but may be too small for a large breed dog. Easy to open and load food into. Clear container makes it easy to see what's inside. Not sure the handle's durability will outlast the body but priced accordingly. Will buy another for carrying large dog biscuits so they do not get broken.

With a gloomy weekend approaching, this seems like a good time to make the best of the available indoor options. Starting tonight, there's plenty to do.
Although no one can accuse them of being the world's most original bands, Salt Lake City receives a healthy dose of roots rock courtesy of two of its more fun practitioners on Thursday night.
Down at the Urban Lounge - which doesn't get nearly enough props for booking hip young bands on a continual, almost daily basis - Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears are the headliners while Kentucky's Those Darlins open up.
The Honeybears, from Austin, Texas, came onto my radar via a practically breathless phone call from an old friend of mine who had heard them on Pandora and then dropped everything to purchase their first album, "Tell 'em What Your Name Is." He insisted I do the same, which I did. The 2009 release certainly wears its Motown/James Brown influences on its record sleeve, but what it lacks in stylistic creativity, it makes up for in raunchy fun and enthusiasm.
Much the same can be said for Those Darlins. Their self-titled debut is also fairly derivative - it's loaded with Bo Diddley beats, Chuck Berry-style riffs and recognizable rockabilly melodies – but again, who cares? It's a fun record that even after two years of hearing its light-hearted odes to drunken refrigerator raiding and evil-hearted men, I still enjoy. -Both groups are on the road behind new records, BJL is touring behind "Shameless" and Those Darlings are supporting "Screws Get Loose." Somewhat surprisingly, tickets remain on sale at this writing and are available at 24tix.com, starting at $13. This looks to be a hoot.
Fans of twangy, rootsy country should check out Raul Malo on Friday night at The State Room. Music starts at 9 p.m. and tickets remain on sale.
My Chemical Romance, emo-rockers from New Jersey, arrive Friday on their latest tour at In The Venue. These guys have made their name for theatrical live shows and have two platinum records to their credit, including 2006's widely praised "The Black Parade." If nothing else, this show provides Salt Lake Valley's 20-something males a chance to wear their skinniest jeans and not feel the least bit self-conscious.
In a triple-bill down at The State Room, California's Cameron Rafati seems to be the headliner and plays at 10 p.m. Synth-rockers Imagine Dragons follow at 11:30 p.m. Also, Vibrant Sound opens the proceedings at 9 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance. That's a lot of Saturday night sounds for $10.
Also, '80s rapper Kool Keith hits the Urban Lounge on Saturday. Tickets are available at 24tix.com.
Also, a play I reviewed earlier this month, "Borderlands" continues this weekend. The bad news is these showings are sold out. However, it's worth noting there are three more shows now added for next weekend starting April 15. If you like good, hyper-local theater that tackles weighty social issues, like homosexuality, the LDS church and wrangling with destiny, check it out.

The NBA season is over, but the debate about the best current NBA player is just beginning.
On the Wednesday episode of ESPN's First Take, Skip Bayless and guest analyst Rob Parker gave their top five current NBA players. Surprisingly, three-time consecutive defensive MVP Dwight Howard wasn't among the top five on either of their lists.
Skip Bayless and Rob Parker dropped Dwight Howard out of the top five in large part because the Orlando Magic were bounced out of the NBA playoffs in the first round by the Atlanta Hawks.
"Dwight Howard and two or three other guys should beat Atlanta, there's no way that should happen at all so that's why those three guys slipped down [the list]," said Parker, who also left LeBron James and Kobe Bryant out of his top five.
Bayless top five picks
1. Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat; 2. Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks; 3. Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers; 4. Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City Thunder; 5. Carmelo Anthony, New York Knicks
Parker top five picks
1. Dirk Nowitzki, Mavericks; 2. Dwyane Wade, Heat; 3. Derrick Rose, Chicago Bulls; 4. Kevin Durant, Thunder; 5. Zach Randolph, Memphis Grizzlies
Do you agree?

Reviews for Old-Fashioned Dressing
"The dressing became slightly burnt. Next time I make it, I 'll stir it halfway through cooking to prevent this. Otherwise I love the fact that it is made in the slow cooker which frees up my oven plus it stays warm throughout the meal!"
"I've made this eversince the recipe came out, everytime we have turkey. The only change is that i use bit more bread, maybe 7-8cups each kind. If it starts to dry out in slowcooker, just add a bit more chick. stock and stir."
"while it has a good taste, I think next time I make it, I will use a little less broth to make it a slight bit drier."
"I have made this the last few years for Thanksgiving. I've tried it several different ways. I like it best using fresh herbs instead of dried. I also put it in the oven instead of the slow cooker. I like the top to be crunchy. It is always such a hit that I have to double or triple the recipe. It is the first of the leftovers to run out."
"This was perfect! It didn't need to be baked in the oven, but was nice and hot."

The FDA has issued a recall on pistachios and pistachio containing products due to salmonella contamination.
Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella Inc, California is the company that distributed the contaminated pistachios. The company has stopped all distribution and has recalled 1 million pounds of pistachios. Setton Pistachio produces products such as nuts, dried fruit, edible seeds, chocolate and yogurt items and candies.
Numerous products contain nuts, including pistachios, therefore it is possible there may be numerous product recalls in the near future.
The FDA will soon provide a list of all affected products on their website.
Salmonella can cause severe illness especially in the very young and the elderly. Symptoms range from diarrhea and vomiting to high fever and fatigue. Consumers are urged to avoid consuming pistachios and all products containing pistachios. Last Friday, Kroger grocery stores removed its line of bagged pistachios due to the recall.
Some grocery store websites, such as ShopRite and Wegmans, already have a dedicated section of their website for food recalls.
If you are unsure about whether a product you have purchased has been recalled, check out your local grocery store's website or call them. You can also contact the U.S. Food & Drug Administration by calling 1-888-INFO-FDA.
If you feel you are suffering from symptoms of salmonella, seek medical help immediately.

Pivotal GemFire
Pivotal and VMware are partnering to deliver well-managed, agile and secure data and application infrastructure for VMware environments across public, private and hybrid clouds. Pivotal GemFire, formerly known as VMware vFabric GemFire, is now part of the Pivotal portfolio of products.
Pivotal GemFire is a distributed data management platform. Pivotal GemFire is designed for many diverse data management situations, but is especially useful for high-volume, latency-sensitive, mission-critical, transactional systems.
Key Features and Functionality
Monitoring and Management
Monitor the current status of the entire Pivotal® GemFire® deployment through a visual dashboard. For command-line users, the Pivotal GemFire Shell ('gfsh') delivers a powerful interface to manage Pivotal GemFire deployments. Wth gfsh, Pivotal GemFire servers can be started and stopped, members can be configured, metrics viewed and access to most all other product capabilities available. View running Pivotal GemFire systems with the visually stunning new dashboard.
Native support for JSON Documents
Pivotal GemFire can store JSON documents along with key-value/object data. For developers writing mobile and other applications, this is very useful. Some of the capabilities provided to JSON documents include the ability to query within and across JSON documents, federated queries with support for joins across JSON and key-value stores and transactional support.
New HTML5 based dashboard
A simplified JMX model with federated MBeans provides a single-agent consolidated view of a Pivotal GemFire distributed system – integrated with gfsh and new dashboard.
Enhanced Parallel Disk Persistence
The "shared nothing" parallel disk persistence model provides persistence for any block of data: partitioned or replicated. This enables all your operational data to safely "live" in Pivotal GemFire, greatly reducing costs by relegating the database to an archival store.
Spring Integration and Simplified APIs for Greater Development Ease
Thanks to the Spring Data GemFire project, developers will be able to easily build Spring applications that leverage Pivotal GemFire distributed data management. Developers can architect their applications so that data access and business logic are separated from configuration and operation code. In addition, Pivotal GemFire APIs and related code samples help developers get productive quickly.
Scale-out Capabilities
Subscription processing is partitioned to enable access by many more subscribers with even lower latency than before. Clients communicate directly with each data-hosting server in a single hop, increasing access performance 2 to 3 times for thin clients.
Co-located Transactions to Dramatically Boost Throughput
Multiple transactions can be executed simultaneously across several partitioned regions.
Very High Throughput
Pivotal GemFire uses concurrent main-memory data structures and a highly optimized distribution infrastructure, offering 10X or more read and write throughput compared with traditional disk-based databases.
Low and Predictable Latency
Pivotal GemFire uses a highly optimized caching layer designed to minimize context switches among threads and processes.
High Scalability
- Scalability is achieved through dynamic partitioning of data across many member nodes and spreading the data load across the servers.
- For 'hot' data, the system can be dynamically expanded to have more copies of the data.
- Application behavior can also be provisioned and routed to run in a distributed manner in proximity to the data it depends on.
Continuous Availability
- In addition to guaranteed consistent copies of data in memory across servers and nodes, applications can synchronously or asynchronously persist the data to disk on one or more nodes.
- Pivotal GemFire's shared-nothing disk architecture ensures very high levels of data availability.
Heterogeneous Data Sharing
C#, C++ and Java applications can share business objects with each other without going through a transformation layer such as SOAP or XML. A change to a business object in one language can trigger reliable notifications in applications written in the other supported languages.
Wide Area Data Distribution
Pivotal GemFire's WAN gateway allows distributed systems to scale out in an unbounded and loosely-coupled fashion without loss of performance, reliability and data consistency.
Native Support for Memcached Clients by Using Gemcached
Use any memcached client to connect to Pivotal GemFire. Pivotal GemFire listens for memcached clients on a specified port, eliminating client configuration on memcahed clients.
HTTP Session Management for Tomcat and Pivotal tc Server
Pivotal GemFire lets you decouple session management from your JSP container. You can scale application server and HTTP session handling independently, leveraging Pivotal GemFire's ability to manage very large sessions with high performance and no session loss. Pivotal GemFire HTTP Session Management is pre-configured and can launch automatically with tc Server. For Tomcat, the module is enabled via minor configuration modifications.
L2 Caching for Hibernate
With L2 caching, developers can implement Pivotal GemFire's enterprise-class data management features for their Spring Hibernate applications. Highly scalable and reliable Pivotal GemFire L2 caching vastly increases Hibernate performance, reduces database bottlenecks, boosts developer productivity, and supports cloud-scale deployment.

Emergency Management is the strategic organizational management processes used to protect critical assets of an organization from hazard, risks, and vulnerabilities that can cause events like disasters or catastrophes and to ensure the continuance of the organization within their planned lifetime.
Security & Emergency Managements key role is to facilitate and guide the University Of the Fraser Valley in the four critical elements:
The Emergency Management Program
UFV is committed to emergency planning and is currently developing initiatives that will create a robust emergency management program, such as:
Emergency Preparedness
Emergencies can occur with little or no warning. By anticipating and preparing, UFV can reduce the impacts to UFV campuses and the surrounding communities. UFV's Emergency Management Plan will provide a framework for planning, responding, and recovering from an emergency. The Plan is intended to provide guiding principles that, when applied with flexibility, can be utilized for various emergencies and circumstances. Additional hazard specific plans called Emergency Response Guidelines will address events such as severe weather and earthquakes.
Each department should have its own Departmental Emergency Plan and Business Continuity Plan in the event of a serious incident or significant business interruption. In any emergency situation, UFV's priorities are to:

Late Surge Nudges No. 2 Maryland Past Princeton, 8-7
Box Score
PRINCETON, N.J. (4/9/14) - Princeton had No. 2 Maryland on the ropes as the Tigers led the first 50 minutes of game. A late surge by the Terrapins however gave Maryland the win, 8-7, on Sherrerd Field at Class of 1952 Stadium.
The Tigers jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the first 20 minutes of the game. It marked the first time Princeton (7-4) has led Maryland (14-1) by more than two goals since the 2005 NCAA game in which the Tigers won 16-8.
The Princeton defense held Maryland to its fewest goals scored since March 17, 2013.
Alexandra Bruno, Erin McMunn, Anna Doherty and Erin Slifer gave the Tigers the lead with Olivia Hompe earning two assists.
A free-position goal by Kelly McPartland at 8:50 cut the Tigers lead to two, 4-2. Her initial shot was saved by goalie Annie Woehling but the officials called it back, assessing a Princeton foul and giving McPartland a free chance at the goal.
Princeton was patient on its last possession of the first half and the hard work paid off as Hompe scored off a feed from sophomore Anya Gersoff with 15.1 seconds left.
It wouldn't be the last goal of the half, however, as Glaros won the next draw and quickly passed off to Brooke Griffin for the goal with three tenths of a second left on the clock to make it a 5-3 game at halftime.
Taylor Cummings put her team within one, 5-4, with her second goal of the game less than six minutes into the half.
Woehling denied Maryland a lead making a nice stop on a McPartland eight-meter attempt on the next possession. After the outlet, Princeton was steady on its passing and converted as Slifer at the top of the fan found senior Sarah Lloyd for the goal, 6-4.
The two-goal lead wouldn't last long as Cummings won the draw and fed Zoe Stukenberg for the goal 17 seconds later.
The nets stayed quiet for the next 10 minutes as Princeton took three shots off target. Maryland received two yellow cards in a matter of 29 seconds and Bruno was given an eight-meter attempt on the second yard. Her shot was saved by Abbey Clipp and Maryland would control the ball and run out the two cards.
Three minutes later it was Princeton's Liz Cutting getting carded and Glaros capitalized with an unassisted man-up goal to tie the game 6-6. The first tie since it was 1-1 at 16:03.
Griffin's goal at 9:49 gave Maryland it's first lead of the game.
Bruno tallied her second goal of the game at 4:54 to knot it up at 7-7 as she dodged her defender towards the goal.
McPartland played the hero for Maryland as she converted a free-position attempt at 1:39 to served as the game winner goal.
The Terrapins won the next draw and hung on for the win.
McPartland, Griffin and Cummings each finished with three goals, while Glaros and Stukenberg had a goal and an assist each. Clipp made five saves in goal.
Hompe had a three-point game with one goal and two assists. Bruno scored twice and Slifer had a goal and an assist. Woehling played an unbelievable game in goal and finished the night with seven stops.
Shots in the game were even at 19-19. Maryland won one more draw, 9-8, and ground balls fell in favor of Maryland 13-10. Princeton committed eight turnovers and Maryland six.
Princeton resumes its Ivy League schedule when it travels to Harvard on Saturday, April 12 for a 1 p.m., game.

"Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Recently, the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has been hosting a discussion about the best language to use when talking about people living with mental illness. NAMI is also in the process of developing the NAMI language guide for our leaders and affiliates so that we can be certain that we are doing all we can to support a real-life experience of mental illness. Notably, there is not a complete agreement on what words are the best. So that we can move forward with finding the best language, let's examine the history of language as related to our movement.
Join the Dialogue
Tell NAMI what you think about the language we use to express the issues affecting our community
One thing is for certain: as writer Casey Miller wrote, "All language reflects the prejudices of the society in which it evolved." Thus we can look back at the era in which people living with mental illness were described as "patients" and see that—with few real treatments and little understanding of the biological nature of mental illness—all one could do was patiently wait for one's symptoms to improve.
The word "consumer" grew out of the individuals' recovery movement. It was chosen by many advocates because it implied an element of choice in the mental health services used by people living with mental illness. Interestingly, this is the term that produced the most negative reaction in most (but not all) of the respondents to the recent SAMHSA articles.
We object so strongly to some words because they point to realities we find objectionable. Language is the bridge between how we want to be thought of and what we want done about it.
Most of us can agree that we want people to understand mental illness as an illness like any other while also helping them understand the realities and the impact that mental illness has on us as individuals and as families. How does out language express both the challenges and the reality of our personal experience? What language can we use to get us there?
NAMI's goal is to find transparent, inclusive language that will be the bridge between the idea and the reality of the world we want for people living with mental illness. This, along with SAMHSA's efforts, will help us define the way America understands mental illness.

A New Approach
To manage growing product complexity and innovation challenges, product-focused applications such as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Product Information Management (PIM) solutions are becoming staple IT investments. But as product information continues to span more and more functions inside the company and out, these implementations are not only expanding enterprise-wide; they are adding integrations, functionalities, and touch-points to serve new needs in a fully connected world. We call this progress the Product Value Chain, an integrated business model powered by Oracle that offers rich new strategies for executives to collectively leverage enterprise Agile PLM, Product Data Hub, Enterprise Data Quality for Products, and other industry leading Oracle applications to achieve further incremental value.
Managing the entire Product Value Chain with Oracle empowers business leaders with accurate information instantly to make the best decisions at any point, from any perspective, of a product's life cycle. Companies can evolve fragmented engineering and design processes into information-driven product value chains with best-in-class development processes and capabilities, global 360-degree visibility, and real-time collaboration. By integrating the solutions that manage the inherently connected product, demand and supply chains, companies can transform their engineering and R&D operations from siloed necessities to world-class, information and value-driven competitive advantages delivering on both innovation and operational excellence.

Reviews for Taco Twist Soup
"This was great! I didn't have green pepper so added a can of mushrooms--still was wonderful."
"What a FANTASTIC soup! So much flavor! I changed a few things but am sure it would be fabulous as is. Used two cans of beans; one black and one tri - bean blend (pinto, black and red) used large onion and one whole large green pepper. Also added a half cup more pasta to the soup. It was better than chili and great for a meatless meal. SO filling!"
"Made this last night and my husband & I both really enjoyed it! Of course he would *really* enjoy it with some beef in it, but said it was great as-is! It's a keeper."
"This is a family favorite. My daughters love tacos, but my one daughter thinks she wants to be a vegetarian so she loved that this was with black beans. I serve it with toritlla chips and canned tropical tropical fruit on the side."

Thank you for your interest in the AIDS United AmeriCorps Program. We offer an exciting, challenging, and life-changing program to our AmeriCorps members. The information below will likely answer some of your questions as you think about applying for our 2015-2016 service year.
If you still do not see the answer to your question below, contact us at:
Applications for the 2016-2017 service year are open until June, 15, 2016. We encourage you to apply early as member slots may be filled prior to the application deadline!
How long is a term of service?
The 2016 - 2017 term begins August 7, 2016 and runs through July 7, 2017. You should be available for full-time service (around 40 hours a week) throughout your service year. Evening and weekend events are occasionally required. If you cannot commit to the full service year, please consider applying to serve with us another year.
Can I have a job or go to school while serving with AIDS United?
Being an AmeriCorps Member is a full-time commitment and must be your first priority during the service year. Most Member placements require you to be available during regular school and business hours and will sometimes need you to attend evening and weekend events. If you can schedule your work or school around AmeriCorps responsibilities, it is allowed.
What is a host site?
A host site is the location where a Member reports for day-to-day service. Examples of host sites include community clinics, youth centers, hospices, or social service agencies.
How are local AmeriCorps teams structured?
Local AmeriCorps teams are comprised of 5 to 12 Members serving in the same city. Each team is led by a City Supervisor, responsible for overseeing the placement, training, and supervision of Members on their team. One Member on each team serves as the Team Coordinator, who helps coordinate team activity and provides team support throughout the year. This Member receives a higher stipend for their increased responsibilities. One day a week, each team comes together to complete local service projects or receive additional training. Throughout the year, teams also plan and execute a Long-Term Project to benefit their communities and increase awareness about HIV/AIDS.
I'm interested in applying, but I don't have experience with HIV/AIDS. Can I still apply?
Yes! We welcome applicants with all levels of experience, as long as they bring something great to the team. To ensure that everyone has the same baseline knowledge and skills, we provide extensive training at the start of the service year. Members also receive additional training and professional development throughout the year.
Can I apply to more than one city site?
Yes. On the supplemental questionnaire, you are asked to rank your choice of service sites. Your application will be reviewed by one site at a time, in the order that you rank them. If you are interested in only one city site, you can also choose to have your application sent to only that site.
I am a current AmeriCorps Member or AmeriCorps Alum. Can I still apply?
If you have served and completed one AmeriCorps term by July 2016, you may apply to the program. If you have served two or more AmeriCorps terms or will not complete your current AmeriCorps service before August 2016, you are not eligible to serve with AIDS United.
When is the application deadline?
The application deadline is June 15, 2016 at 11:59 pm Eastern Time. However, local teams may fill up as early as April or May. We encourage you to apply early!
How competitive is the application process?
Very! In recent years, we have received around 800 applications for 54 slots. Applicants who have previous experience in HIV/AIDS, public health, health education, or community service should highlight that experience on their application. We're looking to build a diverse and well-rounded class of Members, so there's not any "one" thing we're looking for. Click here for more information about what we look for in applicants.
What is an Education Award?
Members who successfully complete their service will receive a $5,730 Segal AmeriCorps Education Award. This can be used to pay qualified student loans or can be invested in future education at a qualifying institution. To learn more, visit AmeriCorps' Segal Education Award website.
What is student loan forbearance?
As an AmeriCorps Member, you may be eligible to put your qualified federal student loans "on hold" while in service. If you qualify, you do not have to make payments during your service year, and any interest accrued during your service would be paid by AmeriCorps. To see if your loan(s) are eligible, you must contact your loan provider. More information on loan forbearance can be found on the Corporation for National and Community Service website.
Does AIDS United provide housing?
No. Service sites will give you guidance on searching for an affordable place to live but finding and paying for housing is your responsibility.
Does AIDS United provide relocation assistance?
AIDS United does not provide relocation assistance. Local program supervisors can provide information and guidance about moving to and living in the area to select members. AIDS United does provide round-trip transportation from your host city to Pre-Service Training.
VISA, Mastercard & AMEX accepted.
Help us make the promise of an AIDS-free generation a reality.

Again, thanks for the reply!

Screen Issue
Is there anything besides a physically busted screen that could keep it from displaying anything throughout the unbricking process?
I got it recognized in manufacturer mode, got the drivers updated and the oneclick up to the point where it is waiting for the 'erasing' screen on the view, and the screen never shows when I hold the button.
After a few tries I just guessed at the timing and oneclick recognized the view and began the process (as opposed to it not when I do nothing). When I think it has had enough time to complete erasing, I try to continue the process, but the next step always fails, as I do not know 1. How long to wait for it to erase, and 2. how long to hold the home button after such (no sansa logo ever appears).
When it says the player will return to 'tango mode,' will the windows device manager reflect this in the driver list? because I've waited for a while and it still lists it as running viewtool under libusb. Also, once I reach this point the home, play, and bottom menu insignia are backlit in addition to the ring, not sure what this means, but I like to think it's a good sign.
if I could, I would like to know some approximate times I should be holding these buttons and waiting for erasing to see if I can do this whole process by braille, so to speak, just to get the thing running again to get the computer to recognize it normally, before I run around looking for a replacement screen.
I bought this thing today and the woman was unaware it was broken, she said it was working fine (screen and all) when she formatted it before selling it to me, and I doubt she was lying. It was the symptoms and her formatting it that led me to believe that this was the problem, and it seems to be, its just that I doubt the screen has broken in less than a week of non-use.
I've read a flash component behind the screen may come out of place due to physical abuse, but I don't think I would have gotten this far along if something were so seriously wrong.
Anyway, long story short I want to know if there's any timing available for these steps, any reason the screen would not be responding beyond being broken, any way to test if the screen is really broken, and if not, anybody who has a spare laying around they would like to sell.
At this point I'm too proud not to fix the damn thing; maybe I'm just a really bad judge of character and this lady screwed me. Also I have the code from 'oneclick' if anyone can tell me what it means
Tried FalconFour's program step by step, and that worked up to the point where the device was in 16mb mode and the firmware was copied over. Tried it 10 different ways, still same thing. Interestingly enough, when 16mb mode is running, if I overwrite all the stuff FalconFour's program copies over with the old original firmware (you can find that here---> http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/view.html) It seems to work.
Crazy to have the thing working again. It's been like 5 years or something.

If these instructions do not serve to my sansac200 v1. I can not even start in "recovery mode". help
They most likely won't, since they're for a different player (View).

ZF-1942: Zend_Service_Amazon throws Exception if itemSeach() didn't find anything
If itemSeach() is not able to find a match iteamSearch() throws an exception.
Reproduce code
require_once('Zend/Service/Amazon.php'); $key = 'KEY'; $country = 'DE'; $amazon = new Zend_Service_Amazon($key,$country); $params = array('SearchIndex' => 'Books', 'Keywords'=>'sugtsdudfz'); try { $res = $amazon->itemSearch($params); } catch(Zend_Service_Exception $e) { die ($e->getMessage()); }
We did not find any matches for your request. (AWS.ECommerceService.NoExactMatches)
This behavior is apparently by design. Whenever the Amazon web services return an error response, this error is discovered and used to form the message of a thrown {{Zend_Service_Exception}}. The docblock for {{itemSearch()}} indicates that it may throw {{Zend_Service_Exception}}.
I believe that the proper behavior would be simply to create an empty result set, rather than throwing an exception, because an exception should not be thrown in the course of normal business. For example, it is very often the case that a search would yield no results. This should not result in an exception.
To fix this requires a slight change to backward compatibility, so for now I mark it to be fixed with 1.1.0.
This issue should have been fixed for the 1.5 release.
This doesn't appear to have been fixed in 1.5.0. Please update if this is not correct.
Fixed in trunk, no exception will be thrown on an empty resultset anymore.
merged back into 1.7 release branch due to possible 1.7.3 release

Landscaping ... For the Birds (page 2 of 5)
by Lynn Ocone
Songbirds require plant cover to protect them from predators and to shelter them at night and from harsh weather. Particularly in northern regions, evergreens such as hemlocks, pines, spruces, and junipers provide essential protection, as well as seed crops and nesting sites.
In milder climates, broad-leafed evergreen shrubs and vines may be used to provide year-round cover. Cluster shrubs of different species together, and when possible, plant fruiting types, such as an evergreen holly (Ilex), that provide both food and shelter.
A windbreak planted along the edge of your property can help to protect birds from the elements. The ideal windbreak is several plants deep, starting with tall evergreens and deciduous trees at the back, midsized trees in the middle, and low shrubs along the front edge.
For a more natural appearance, weave the plants together rather than planting in straight rows.
Gardening Style
A bird garden at its best has rough edges, plants going to seed, brush piles here and there, and even a dead tree left standing for birds to perch on and nest in. If you're a compulsive weeder and maintain a highly manicured lawn with clipped foundation plantings arranged in tidy rows, then bird gardening will require loosening up on the pruners and mower.
Of course, it is possible to have a neat, well-maintained garden and still attract birds, but a compromise is in order. Keep your manicured lawn, for example, but reduce the size. Edge it with shrubs to provide leaf litter where brown thrashers, towhees, and white-throated and fox sparrows can scratch for insects.
Even a small patch of bare earth may attract more birds than mowed lawn. Quail and wrens are among the birds that dust themselves off to maintain their feathers. A dust bath need be no more than 3 feet square and 6 inches deep. For a tidy appearance, edge it with brick or stone. Perhaps you can find an out-of-sight spot for a small, wild area where flowers, grasses, and weeds are allowed to go to seed for the birds. When replacing shrubs that require regular pruning, replant with ones that are relatively care-free, perhaps thorny wild roses that birds, such as northern cardinals and brown thrashers, seek out for nesting and refuge.
Going Natural
Plants native to your region will be relished by wild birds since they provide food and shelter the birds are accustomed to. In many instances, birds benefit the vegetation too by distributing seeds for future generations.
There's no shortage of beautiful natives appropriate for naturalistic bird gardens. While you needn't plant exclusively natives, why not consider planting at least a few? Most of the recommended plants are North American natives.
To find plants that will thrive in your garden, look for those that have developed naturally in your climate. Visit native plant nurseries and local botanical gardens and arboreta to learn which ones best fit your site.
For much of the year, most birds feed primarily on insects -- everything from caterpillars to mosquitoes, aphids, and mites. The plants you grow are an important source of insects for birds, and the birds help keep insects in check. By eliminating pesticides, you will increase the garden's bird appeal.

Maxine Turner, President of Cuisine Unlimited Catering & Special Events since 1994 4641 S. Cherry St., SLC | 801-268-2332 | cuisineunlimited.comThe name is appropriate. Cuisine Unlimited has catered everything from intimate dinner parties to the USA House at the Olympics. That's a broad span to cover keeping to a standard of uncompromising quality, but company founder and president Maxine Turner settles for nothing less. "Quality of product and quality of service set us apart," she says.
A warehouse of decorations, table settings, linens and a dedicated and imaginative staff mean that Cuisine Unlimited events are always visual showstoppers— the team might set up an Arabian nights-themed table al fresco at one event and a sleekly modern, silver and glass setting at another. Meanwhile, the company chef invents new dishes suitable for serving several hundred or dinner for a dozen.
Catering is often thought of as a food-centered business, but food is just one part of event production. Beyond envisioning the complete setting, service and food, a caterer needs to be a militarily precise logistics expert. Working with the United States Olympics Committee for several years has finely honed the organizational skills of Cuisine Unlimited's staff.
The current economic situation has not been friendly to catering, but Turner has regarded it as a time to create new opportunities for her company. "We now offer corporations in-house food service, and we sell our bakery items to high-end restaurants," she points out. At the same time, "The demand for lower costs did not create lower expectations," she says. "We have been diligent in meeting client requirements without compromise," at the same time figuring out ways to work smarter and more profitably.
Turner's background in marketing taught her that "during difficult economic periods, it is vital to have a strong marketing program" so she is persistent in keeping Cuisine Unlimited's profile high in the community through participation in non-profit events.
"We work very hard to deliver what we promise," says Turner. "Clients can count on us. Business is all about relationships, and our clients are the most important part of our business."

Welcome to the world a Charon. A semi technological society, that still lingers on to old ways. Charon is a fantastic world with robots, war, monsters, and scandals. But before I dwell on the specifics, you must understand the world of Charon. Charon is not a world as we know it , it is a leveled world with 4 known levels. From the outside it looks to be some sort of large cave complex, but the people of Charon have never thought of that. The sky above is man made with artificial light, and every country has literally walls that separate them, again large caverns like a cave. Water flows from the top down creating large seas and oceans as well as islands that people live on.
Level 1
The bottom most level only touched by the hands of civilization, again, in recent times. Main nation is the Robotic one.
Vast empty land little exists here. The ancient ruins which long ago was the capital city, of the Fisians, now there glorious city is nothing but waste. No one live here aside from archeologists. Anymal is a once forgotten colony, which contains old Alealane, colonists which have now proclaimed independence. They are very technologically savy, only second in technology to Technologia. But there population is very small, and they have little of an economy due to there isolated location. On Mecher appears to be a large technological device, its purpose is unknown, no one lives on the island of Mecher.
One of the most isolated location in all of Charon. Appears to be the old ship yard of the Fisians, but because of its scorching average temperature of 130, lets no one live there. In Hotts are 2 large canisters of unknown origin, and purpose some have suggested that they pump the water back up to level 4. Also in Hotts, are the Acid Containers which is a large entirely filled with old acid containers, which may have had some purpose on old Fisian ships. Also the Depths which appears to be an entrance to more deeper, unexplored levels, populated by monster spiders similar in anatomy to the ones found on level 4.
The biggest thing about level 1. Populated mainly with Robots of all shapes and sizes. Only a few decades ago the region was split between Alealanes and Catandrians, but the Robots declared independence. But there occupation still has effects to this day. North Robo City contains not only Robots, but androids, hybrids, and normal Alealanes and Catandrians; it was once occupied by Catandria. While the south contains pure robots northing else, once occupied by Alealane. Also in Roboland exist a land ship yard, which provides for the income of Roboland, they make merchant and war ships for other nations. They also have a farm which provides enough food for the whole developed world. The highlands is a strategic military outpost, where Roboland troops occupy and look over the main paths into there country, in fear of any re-occupation.
Level 2
One of the most diverse of the levels with both deserts and tropical rain forests. For the empires it is important as there main trading route between level 3 and level 1.
Stands for Luntrum United Alliance. In the past it was very separated, but after being occupied by the empires, they decided to join up. L.U.N. is fairly radical similar in tendencies and attitude to our Middle East. They have fought several wars against the Alealanes, but have never been able to get there whole country back. The occupied territory is the main port restocking level 1 bound ships. Normal port for the L.U.N does the same thing but is less popular. Oasis is a large desert lake that allows for people to live in the heart of the desert. The rest is a waste land although there are people still live in it as nomads.
A huge thing rain forest inhabited by natives. In the forest there is a river that acts as the main trading route. The forest is split into 2 regions, the normal forest and highlands. In the high lands exists people that have never seen or heard of the empires, due to them being no where near there trading routes. But in the normal forest by the river the natives constantly are raiding and attacking trading ships. The natives are simple people using bows and arrows to attack and living it small huts.
The people Kituun are very similar to the people of the forest. The big difference between the too is Kituun isnt a forest but a flat plains land, and there appearance. In Kituun also exist large elephant like creatures that the Kituuns have tamed and use for war. Like L.U.N. the Alealanes have occupied a section of Kituun and are using it as a port to restock up on supplies. But unlike L.U.N., the Kituuns are simple and have never been even close to successful in any of there raids.
Gas Area
An area entirely filled with toxic gas. But unlike the fogs of Batomb, Gas Area gas is not only not breathable but corrosive. No ship has ever lasted more then a minute in the gas. This is one of the least explored of all the regions because of this. In fact what little they do know comes from radar imagery. From there results it seems like there may be an entrance, to another larger cavern beyond this. Alealane is restless to see whats there.
Level 3
While it may be the level that contains the 2 greatest empires of the world it to has is mysteries. No one has ever ventured into the vast land of the Eeyos and Batomb is relatively new founded territory.
Batomb is filled entirely by a think yellow fog which is not breathable. Its believed that its created by a local volcano. Even though the air is not breathable people live here as natives, they are more similar in culture to the people of Forest, but have a more similar appears to Kituu peoples. But unlike the other natives they welcomed the Alealanes with open arms. Currently under much study by Alealanes brightest.
Land of the Eeyos
Eeyos are tall lankly creatures up to 20 feet tall. They have very large heads. The reason no one dares to come into there land is there scream, which can kill people within seconds. The people of Charon believe them to the mindless monsters, but there is some evidence to support that there are sentient. Because of there deadly scream no one has ever explored this area, and thus no one has ever explored level 4.
The main fishing area for Catandria, which required fish as food. Most of this land is uninhabited aside from the fishing port island ,where fishers go and stay and trade there fish in for money. Gaint fish monsters live here too, and are known to swallow entire ships.
While is may be a world power is certainly doesnt act like it. Catandria has no concern for the rest of the world and, only wants to occupy Fisherlain. Catandians need fish to survive, as there only food they can eat but, there ocean long ago where fished dry. Catandria is very liberal, being possibly the most ethically modern of any of the countries. The only reason they even trade with the Robots, is for ships and machines to defend themselves from Alealane, if they plan to invade. Catandira and Alelane are fierce competitors but, for hundreds of years they has been no real war between them. Catandria has several fisher ports which distribute the fish for the rest of the nation. They also have a large main city island, which holds most of there population and is a sprawling metropolitan paradise, the pinnacle of fashion and style, as with a capital island which they govern from. Catandrians have 2 large zoos as Catandrians love animals. Its sort of a country entirely inhabited by rich snobs.
The most powerful empire there influence spreads throughout the world. While Alealane may be the strongest empire, but its very diverse internally, only being united under one flag a few hundred years ago. Main city contains most of the population, but unlike Catandria, the main city here is mostly slums with most of the population below the poverty line. The Heat Islands are not the most populous, but are the attitude of the entire country being very conservative and very aggressive. The reason why they are the attitude of the country, is this is there where army comes from over 85% of the population on the Heat Islands are registered in the military; and was the main invading power hundred of years ago that united Alealane. Capital island holds the ruling class which in Alealane is a monarchy. The rest of Capital Island is a port and shipyard, as they dont want to be entirely dependant on Roboland for ships. Freeland is a radical liberal island, which does everything it can to be an independent nation, but all there rebellions are squashed and they are forced to be part of Alealane. Technogia is the pinnacle of technology, all the smartest minds live and work here; name some crazy science thing and they are working on it. Funded entirely by the military, and all there products go directly there. Dark Land is populated by mystics and psychics, it also has a decent population, the land is also dark because the lights over it are broken.
Standoff Barge
Hundred of years ago this was the battle ground between the 2 nations. It ended in a draw, with both sides agreeing for nuetral control in the strategic area. The sand barge is a great place to shoot down enemy troops comming up from level 2 and who ever controlls it controls the trading routes. If a war started between the 2 it would start here. Troops are always on the barge.
Level 4
Largely unknown only scientists know of this land because of radar. No one has ever set there eyes on this level because the eeyos block the entrance. It is populated entirely by large spiders.
Playable Races
Alea-Look like yellow tigers that stand on 2 feet. Alealane people also look a big buff and are large, although it can vary depending on the person but Heat Islands people usually are stereotypical like this. Also people in Dark Land are not yellow but Purple. All Alealanes have the power to summon electricity and attack things with it, like Pikachu.
Catan-similar is appear to Alealanes but 2 large differences, first off there are a lot less bulky and are a bit shorter, and they lack the ability to summon electricity.
Batomb-They can be comparable to land eels. They have fin like arms and legs and a long lankly body they are about on average 7 feet tall. Also look like there slippery and are yellow. They can not breath normal air needed a suit outside of Batomb.
Lunt- Look like fish but are actually more related to reptiles. They look very similar to guppies, being round with 2 short stubby arms and big faces with a mouth that is slightly always open mouth. They have 2 short stubby legs.
Native Foresters- look short of like human size Lemurs, and yep thats exactly how that look.
Kituun-they look very similar to Batomb people, accept they are not yellow but dark red. And they have breath normal air.
Aymal-A sort of mix between Alea and Catan they are not big and bulky but still maintain there power of electricity.
Robot-standard model looks like a bipedal humanoid. Generally they arent solid though you can see through he holes in there arm and face sort of like walking skeletons. But as robots there vary some are more car like, some are hybrids between other races, and robot and some are just straight up android looking like another race entirely.
Any job that you can get in real life can be gotten here. Rather then list all the jobs you can do its easier to say which jobs you cant do.
-bus driver
-stock broker
-unemployed (but homeless is allowed)
-computer anything
-postal worker
-world leader (you can be a politician or tribe leader just nothing too big)
Just dont try to get fancy. This is an alien world it doesnt have something we do. If you choose a job that you cant have sorry you just cant do it.
For RP purposes everyone starts out with 10 points place them into the following categories to determine how much money you have how attractive you are etc.. Everyone automatically has 0 everything. Only 5 points max per category, and you can take them out of categories if you wish but no more then 2 out of any.
Money: how much mojo you got, for some people it matter others it doesnt, lower levels are average and can get a few things, mid levels you can buy lots of stuff and upper levels have whatever they want. Negative points makes you poor.
Intelligence: lower levers and you not the smartest guy around. Mid levels and you can make a few wise cracks and know random things. Upper levels is genius. Negative is retarded.

You guys like to wear clothes and stuff, but I should note that lazer guns exist but they are expensive, as with hover crafts. Just dont get too crazy, if I tell you to tone it down and knock off a few items, then take them off.
Anyone can die at any time sorry but it happens. I would prefer that you PM me and them before hand though. Just dont go around killing people though. Probably I as the narrator will kill the most people because of events happening. If you die just make another person.
Whatever you want just dont like longer then 300 years because thats too old for any of these people
Current Location:
Psychic Power:
Being a whole world at first it might be hard for you people to meet one another, so I will only start getting the ball rolling once you all start meeting up. Whenever I post in white thats when I am narrating.

The Clash possessed an indefinable chemistry that makes for a great band. Their explosive, uptempo punk-rock manifestos were unleashed with pure adrenaline and total conviction. Following the Sex Pistols' dissolution in January 1978, the Clash became the central voice of the punk movement and remained at the forefront for five years. Their albums - The Clash (1977), Give 'Em Enough Rope (1978), London Calling (1979), Sandinista! (1980) and Combat Rock (1982) - captured the tumult of the times with unerring instinct and raw power.
Rhythm guitarist Joe Strummer – born John Mellor in Ankara, Turkey, on August 21, 1952 – wrote most of the words and lead guitarist Mick Jones contributed much of the music. Bassist Paul Simonon's background in painting and sculpture helped shape the band's aesthetic overview. Topper Headon was a journeyman drummer who found his niche powering the Clash. "As a mix of personalities," noted writer Lenny Kaye, "the Clash was a perfect engine." They ran hottest on a concert stage, where all their political zeal and undaunted idealism found expression in music erupted with an exhilarating forcefulness. Lester Bangs described the Clash in concert as "a desperation uncontrived, unstaged, a fury unleashed on the stage and writhing upon itself in real pain that connects with the nerves of the audience."
Only a month before his untimely death of a heart attack on December 22, 2002, Strummer recalled the Clash onstage in similar terms: "It was like a fireworks display," he told writer Jon Weiderhorn. "It was like, 'Bang!' As soon as that first tune came in it seemed to us like three seconds before we hit the last chord of the last tune. It was like a psychedelic, kinetic blur." The Clash were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003 by u2 guitarist the Edge.
In the clip below, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum VP of exhibitions and curatorial Jim Henke discusses the 1966 Fender Telecaster played by Joe Strummer of the Clash on stage for many of those "kinetic blur" live moments. The guitar is featured in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland's Cities and Sounds exhibit, in the "London/New York/Los Angeles - Blank Generation: 1975 - 1980" section focused on the development of punk.

County tourism continues to increase and play key role in economy
Published: Saturday, August 17, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 16, 2013 at 2:06 p.m.
The message that tourism plays an important role in the Davidson County economy shouldn't surprise anyone. Locals may shake their head a bit that tourists would make the county a destination, thinking more of the beaches or mountains as vacation spots, but several attractions do bring visitors and their dollars. These include Richard Childress Racing, Childress Vineyards, The Bob Timberlake Gallery, High Rock Lake and many other businesses, events and attractions. Tourism advocates in Lexington, Thomasville and Davidson County work hard to market the area and encourage those traveling through on Interstate 85 or U.S. Highway 52 to stop.
Figures released this week by the state showed domestic visitors spent $136 million in Davidson County in 2012, a 3.9 percent increase from 2011. The spending sustains 920 jobs in the travel and tourism industry, which adds up to a $18.54 million payroll. Additionally, $7.47 million in state tax revenue hit the coffers along with $4.33 million in local taxes. The county continues to diversify its workforce, and tourism has taken its place as one of the new industries that helps foster that.
Any homeowner knows that some necessary repair projects bring a steep price tag. So it is with county government, as the Davidson County Board of Commissioners approved almost $1 million Tuesday to spruce up the Old Davidson County Court House and the county parking deck on West Second Street. The Old Court House is an important historical building, and it has taken several years to reach the point of bidding the work. The parking deck serves an important role for county employees and those with business at the courthouse. Commissioners would probably prefer to spend the money on other projects, but maintaining infrastructure can prevent even more costly work in the future.
Food Lion remains the dominant grocery store in Davidson County, but shoppers will have one less store to visit soon. The store on South Main Street will close at the end of the month. Fortunately, other stores aren't too far away, but the extra driving will cause some inconvenience. The chain decided not to renew a lease on the building.
Eddie Smith will forever be remembered when the history of Lexington is recounted, and his legacy of giving back continues even six years after his death. Smith's 1967 Ferrari, one of only 10 of that model made, will be auctioned this weekend. Auction officials estimate it could fetch $14 million, which the Smith family will generously donate to charities. Many Lexington residents recall seeing Smith, a self-made millionaire who founded National Wholesale Co., zipping around town in his sports cars, so the news of the auction brought a smile to their faces.

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Bulbs
Those Bloomin' Holiday Gifts (page 3 of 3)
by Charlie Nardozzi
Care Guide for Flowering Houseplants
Temperatures: 60 to 65 degrees F. day, 45 to 50 degrees F. night
Rebloom rating: Moderate
Winter care: Place in an east-facing window with bright, indirect light. Cyclamen crowns and foliage are susceptible to fungal rot if too wet, so water only from the bottom. For best flowering, keep humidity high and temperatures cool (60 degrees F.).
Spring care: After flowers fade, gradually withhold water until foliage withers. Store pots in a cool, dry location or remove corms from soil, and store at 40 to 50 degrees F. in a perforated plastic bag filled with dry peat moss.
Summer care: In July, repot the corms in soilless potting mix, leaving half of each corm above the soil surface. Place the pot outdoors in a shaded location; when new growth begins, fertilize the cyclamen with all-purpose houseplant food, and keep the soil evenly moist.
Fall care: Bring the pot indoors before first frost. To induce flowering by Christmas, place in an east-facing window with 55 degrees F. temperatures.Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima)
Temperatures: 65 to 75 degrees F. day, 60 to 65 degrees F. night
Rebloom rating: Difficult
Winter care: Place the plant in an area with a half-day of direct sun, and water only when the soil is dry.
Spring care: As side shoots develop, prune back old branches to where new growth starts, and repot with fresh soilless potting mix. Begin fertilizing with all-purpose houseplant food.
Summer care: After last frost, place plant outdoors where it receives morning sun. Sink pot into ground. Keep well watered, and prune off growing tips twice a month to create bushier plants. Continue fertilizing.
Fall care: Bring plant indoors in September before first frost. To induce flowering, give the plant direct sun or artificial light each day, and 14 hours of uninterrupted dark each night, beginning in early October. Keep the soil moist, and stop fertilizing. Color should form on bracts in six to eight weeks.Gardenia (G. jasminoides, also called G. augusta)
Temperatures: 65 to 70 degrees F. day, 60 to 65 degrees F. night
Rebloom rating: Moderate
Winter care: To induce flowering and stop bud drop, keep humidity high and night temperatures between 60 and 65 degrees F. Gardenias need 4 to 6 hours of direct light daily to flower. Water only after the top inch of soil is dry. Avoid drafts, which cause leaves to yellow and drop.
Spring care: As new growth appears, fertilize with a complete acidifying fertilizer with micronutrients, such as Mir-Acid. Pinch new growth to shape plant. Repot if necessary.
Summer care: Place outdoors in part shade. Continue fertilizing and watering.
Fall care: Bring the plant indoors for increasingly longer time periods before frost to reduce the shock caused by the low light levels and low humidity.Amaryllis (Hippeastrum hybrids)
Temperatures: 65 to 70 degrees F. day, 50 to 60 degrees F. night.
Rebloom rating: Moderate
Winter care: Place in a bright location but out of direct sun while blooming. Long, leggy flower stalks indicate insufficient light. Keep soil evenly moist during flowering. Stake stalk if taller than 18 inches.
Spring care: Cut off dead flower stalks to 2 inches above the bulb. Let the bulb dry slightly between waterings.
Summer care: After the last frost, bury the bulb, pot and all, in a location where it receives morning sun. Fertilize with all-purpose houseplant food as leaves continue to grow. Amaryllis flowers best if potbound; repot every three to four years.
Fall care: In September, lift the pot out of the ground, stop watering, and store in a cool (50 degrees F.) dry place, allowing the foliage to die. Six weeks before you want flowers, bring the pot into a warm (70 degrees F.), brightly lit room. When new leaves emerge, resume watering. Butterfly amaryllis and other species do not require a dormancy period.Kalanchoe (K. blossfeldiana)
Temperatures: 70 to 75 degrees F. day, 50 to 60 degrees F. night
Rebloom rating: Difficult
Winter care: Give plants at least a half-day of bright, direct sun. Let pots dry out between watering. Kalanchoe thrives in dry air.
Spring care: Repot after flowering, pinch new growth to encourage new leaves, and begin fertilizing with all-purpose houseplant food when you see new growth.
Summer care: After last frost, move plant outdoors to a partly shaded location. Continue fertilizing and watering.
Fall care: Move plant indoors before first frost. To induce bud set, allow plant to go dormant in September by providing cool (50 degrees F.) conditions and 14 hours of uninterrupted darkness each night for two months.Azalea (Rhododendron species, Belgian, Southern Indica, and Kurume hybrids)
Temperatures: 60 to 68 degrees F. day, 45 to 55 degrees F. night
Rebloom rating: Moderate
Winter care: When flowering, azaleas need 4 hours of bright, filtered sunlight in a south-facing window. Flowers last longest at cool (55 degrees F.) temperatures. High humidity is also important for flowering and to prevent spider mite infestations. Keep soil evenly moist.
Spring care: Once flowers drop, fertilize with a complete acidifying fertilizer with micronutrients. Keep the plant in bright light and water it well.
Summer care: After danger of frost has passed, move the plant outdoors to a partly shaded location. To keep the plant bushy, pinch off the top few inches of new growth. Keep the plant well watered, and continue fertilizing.
Fall care: Greenhouse azaleas are not reliably hardy outdoors north of zone 8, so bring plants indoors before temperatures drop into the low 20s. To induce flowering by Christmas, move the plant indoors to a bright, cool (55 degrees F.) room until November. Stop fertilizing, but keep soil evenly moist.African Violet (Saintpaulia ionantha)
Temperatures: 80 to 85 degress F. day, 60 degress F. night
Rebloom rating: Easy
Winter care: Place plants in an east-facing window or under grow lights. Avoid watering foliage, and keep soil evenly moist and humidity high. Prevent exposure to drafts, or leaves will yellow. (Small, light green, crinkled leaves indicate too much sun; poor flowering and dark green leaves with long leaf stalks indicate insufficient sun.)
Spring care: Repot only when potbound using a porous, African violet soil mix. Take stem or leaf cuttings. If plants were in direct winter sun, move them to a shadier spot. Fertilize with special African violet fertilizer (available at most garden centers).
Summer care: Continue watering and fertilizing. If plants are grown in a windowsill, wash the leaves monthly with tepid water, allowing them to dry before putting the plant back in the sun.
Fall care: Continue to water and fertilize. In northern regions, move plants to a bright window or under grow lights. Propagate by stem or leaf cuttings.Holiday Cactus (Schlumbergera bridgesii or S. truncata)
Temperatures: above 70 degrees F. day, 55 to 65 degress F. night
Rebloom rating: Easy
Winter care: Place the plant where it will have a half-day of bright, indirect sunlight or curtain-filtered direct window light. Keep the soil evenly moist and provide high humidity levels.
Spring care: Once flowering finishes, begin fertilizing with all-purpose houseplant food, and keep soil moist.
Summer care: After last frost, move the plant outdoors to a shady location. Continue watering and fertilizing.
Fall care: Bring indoors before first frost. Let soil dry out slightly between waterings. To induce bud set: Starting in September, expose the plant to 5 to 6 weeks of short days (less than 12 hours of daylight and without artificial room lightin or cool (below 55 degrees F.) temperatures. Once buds form, continue regular watering and treatment.
