Authors: Rastogi, Nisheeth; Harrison, Darwin Anil; Agarwal, Akriti

Abstract: A new series of 1-aminomethyl-3-[4′-(4″-nitrobenzyloxy)-benzohydrazono]isatins (Mannich bases) have been synthesized and screened for their antimicrobial potential against human pathogenic bacteria and fungi. The structures of the compounds have been established by means of elemental analysis and spectral data (IR and 1H NMR).

Authors: Padmaja, A; Begum, Aliya; Ragavaiah, P; Devi, Ch Sarala

Abstract: (E)-4-Chloro-N′(2-hydroxybenzylidene)benzohydrazide is synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, DEPT and mass spectral studies. The structure and types of hydrogen bonding present in crystalline form of title compound are envisaged from single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The topological analysis of hydrogen bonds indicates both inter and intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The presence of water molecule in crystal structure indicates mono hydrated form of the title compound.

Authors: Baviskar, B A; Shiradkar, M R; Khadabadi, S S; Deore, S L; Bothara, G

Abstract: The reaction of ethyl 2-amino-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylate 1 with acetic anhydride followed by reaction with hydrazine hydrate yields the ethyl 2-acetamido-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylate 2 and N-[5-(hydrazinecarbonyl)-4-methylthiazol-2-yl]acetamide 3, respectively. The compound 3 on further reaction with alcoholic potassium hydroxide-carbon disulphide followed by cyclization with hydrazine hydrate gives N-[5-(4-amino-5-mercapto-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-4-methylthiazol-2-yl]acetamide 5. The compound 5 is then condensed with different aromatic aldehydes to offer Schiff bases 6a-h. The Schiff bases on cyclization with chloroacetyl chloride in presence of triethylamine as catalyst furnish the azetidin-2-one 7a-h. The compounds are synthesized in good yield and the chemical structures of the compounds are elucidated from their IR, 1H NMR, and elemental analysis. All the synthesized compounds have been screened for their antimicrobial activity.

Authors: Mashelkar, U C; Tungare, Shefali S; Bhagat, Sachin

Abstract: Coumarin 4-methyl acetates are oxidized to coumarin-4-methyl glyoxalate using SeO2. Unlike the oxidative decaboxylation observed in the case of coumarin-4-acetic acid, here the oxidation is very selective for active methylene group, without affecting the COOH group protected with ester function. The product thus formed is analogous to the phenyl glyoxalic acid methyl ester i.e. coumarin 4-methyl glyoxalate and can be a useful moiety for the various synthetic manipulations of heterocycles substituted at 4-position of the coumarin showing promising herbicidal activity. Different heterocycles substituted at 4-position of the coumarin moiety have been synthesized. The herbicidal activity of these compounds has been evaluated. Zea Mays and Green Gram have been used for pre-emergence and post-emergence screening of the herbicidal activity.

When pitching fails, it's up the offense.
On a night when Vidal Nuno was about effective with his pitching as Vidal Sassoon was with his hair-styling, the Diamondbacks made a collective, executive decision. That included an premature exit for Nuno after four innings and a deficit of three runs as early as the fourth inning.
Down early by those three, the Diamondbacks had no answer in trying to pick up Nuno. Right-hander Jeremy Guthrie made sure of that fact and limited Arizona to seven hits and two runs on his way to a 6-2 victory over the Diamondbacks before 17,809 in Chase Field.
The sweep by the Royals of this three-game series was their first over Arizona and second-ever sweep on the road in inter-league play. The other came against the St. Louis Cardinals June 17-19, 2008.
After allowing single runs in the first and third, Guthrie settled down, retired the final 19 hitters in a row to end the game and cruised to his eighth victory of the season. In the process, Guthrie picked the Royals' first complete game of the season and the eighth of his career.
This was a retribution of sorts for Guthrie, who faced the Diamondbacks for the second time in his career. Previously, he lost to Arizona 10-0 in Chase Field on June 5, 2012 while pitching for the Rockies.
Though Guthrie's effort helped the Royals inch closer to the American League Central division-leading Detroit Tigers, the offense appeared to walk the plank.
Part of their demise Thursday night was Guthrie but the Diamondbacks left five runners on base through the opening three innings.
That's when Guthrie closed the door and dropped the Diamondbacks 17 games under the .500 mark.
"We got to his fast ball and curve early in the game, but he made some adjustments," said left fielder David Peralta, who went 0-for-4 against Guthrie. "Then, he was getting us with a cutter and the cutter was especially good to left-handed batters. We tried to make adjustments and we couldn't do it. Sometimes you just gave to give the other pitcher credit."
If Guthrie was shutting down the offense, Arizona manager Kirk Gibson did not like what he saw from Nuno. Poor location and elevating pitches doomed Nuno from the start.
For starters, take the second inning.
First, Billy Butler led off the Kansas City frame with a double down the left field line. Then, left-fielder Alex Gordon deposited his 10th home run of the season into the right field bleachers and the Royals took a 2-1 lead. From there, they added two more in the third and another in the fourth. By that time, Gibson reached for the hook and Nuno was history.
"I was a little frustrated because I couldn't get the ball down," said Nuno, and his record dropped to 0-3. "I couldn't command the ball down and somehow kept it up. The homer to Gordon was over the plate and in a bad location. He got his pitch and drove it."
So effective was Guthrie's cutter that the Diamondbacks could not get any height. Of the final 19 outs in a row, Arizona batters hit only three balls to the outfield and all to centerfielder Lorenzo Cain.
Guthrie then put his own signature on this one when he struck out Didi Gregorius to end the game.
If there was moment for the Diamondbacks, it came in the third inning. That's when Jake Lamb, recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A Reno, dropped a fly ball in short left field and that drove in Mark Trumbo, who singled and moved to second on a single from Miguel Montero.
Appearing in his initial major league game, the hit and RBI were each the first for Lamb.
"Yep, just a little jam job," Lamb smiled afterward. "Getting called up, seeing my family for the first time since spring training, it's just been awesome. Being here hasn't hit me yet."
The home stand ends this weekend with three against the Colorado Rockies.
On Friday night, Chase Anderson (6-4, 3.19 ERA) takes on lefty Tyler Matzek (2-6, 5.31). For Saturday's 5:10 start, Trevor Cahill (1-8, 5.12) opposes lefty Jorge De La Rosa (11-7, 4.27) and on Sunday, it's a pair of lefties. Wade Miley (7-8, 4.61) goes for the Diamondbacks against Franklin Morales (5-6, 5.08).
Some numbers.
On Friday night, Anderson is making his first career start against the Rockies and Matzek is making his initial appearance against the Diamondbacks.
For Saturday against Cahill, Carlos Gonzalez is 4-for-14 (.286) while Troy Tulowitzki is 2-for-12 (.167). Against De La Rosa, Aaron Hill is 4-for-14 (.286) and Miguel Montero is 2-for-14 (.143).
On Sunday against Miley, Gonzalez is 8-for-21 (.381) while Tulowitzki is 6-for-16 (.375).
Then, the D-backs hit the road for 10 games, including stops for three in Cleveland, three against the Marlins in Miami and four with the Nationals in the nation's capital.

That reminds me, are you still a Conservative? Not that I have anything against conservatives, just wondering...
i'm moderate conservative, yep. i dont hate liberals unless they are annoying and boast pretentious, envious nonsense (most radicals).
your welcome
Is it the dream of all Americans to live in New England? Is it regarded as a heavily liberal but desirable location?
Texas and California have some nice scenery, but I can't imagine anyone wanting to go to the effort of living there, unless it's Pasadena or Palm Springs and you have lots of money kicking around. I imagine nobody has any serious desire to live in San Diego. What do I know though, I'm trying to track the psyche of Americans.
florida and PA are the best states. i stand by that
your welcome
As part of my job as a typist I got a recording featuring a guy who lived in Palm Springs. He was a homosexual liberal, couldn't stop talking about his identity as either of those things. He got asked questions like, "What are your favourite brands?" to which he responded "Gucchi and Armani. I usually hover between the two, being a Gemini."
Then he got asked "How would you advertise Cadillac?" to which he responded "I'd put George Clooney in the car. George Clooney is sexy."
After a while, the interview was over, and these proper British interviewers took the piss out of him when he left the room. I had to type them taking the piss out of them, saying stuff like, "Where shall we eat tonight?" "Well, I'll either go to Duke's or Reel Inn, but what do I know. I'm a gemini." There are codes we have to put to indicate the participants laughed, so I had to put things like [Laughter 01.04.34-01.05.45].
I didn't mind McCain. Quite a nice fellow.i'm moderate conservative, yep. i dont hate liberals unless they are annoying and boast pretentious, envious nonsense (most radicals).
[short rant]why are most homosexuals cookie cutter liberals? they supporting gay rights which actually supports the idea of segregation and alienation of their own people... why not just support "people's rights"? fuck all this sexual, racial and class segregation.
[/short rant]
your welcome
when you introduce rights above or below others, you are segregating the rights of those unaffected. when you think equality, do you think "lets give these people more social strength and attention than these other people to make their differences more apparent"? i think of equality as "lets allow all people to be included in every identifiable change politically and socially". i think rights towards certain peoples actually alienate their identity and send mixed signals socially. just take out the diminishing rights in the constitution and state laws, and take away the special rights towards certain races and sexes. its the simplest and most universally agreeable way to achieve equality.
your welcome
that is one of the stupidest paragraphs i have ever read
Do homosexuals support segregation though? I thought they just wanted to adopt and get married, like everybody else, not elevating themselves above them as such but achieving the same rights as them...
explain rayne
your welcome
gays are inadvertently creating their own segregation. just change the state law to not disclude gays from anything, and there would be no need for gay rights. thus segregation is avoided, and gays are viewed as "people" politicially rather than "gay".
your welcome
Well yes of course that makes sense, if all concerns of a group were dealt with then there wouldn't be any need for them to campaign for rights, in a utopian America. Maybe also if money didn't exist, and therefore there was no economic inequality - we didn't have to shelter the homeless or provide a safety net for the unemployed.
In that world, there'd be no need for any kind of rights or social movements. The Democrats are the party that often vote for and support the interests of homosexuals seeking these rights, that's why homosexuals tend to vote for them, I think. There's a two-party state and neither the Democrats or the Republicans are campaigning for a complete abolition of all discriminatory laws. They tend to campaign on much more simple platforms.
i understand that the two-party politics are what they are stuck with, and i seriously think they need to rethink the ideological concepts of rights based on a person's identity. thats something neither side wants to agree on.
and money could easily be replaced by credit values. they are essentially the same thing, but the banks would lose jobs like crazy if we even touched on that idea. oh, and physical money=stimulated trade rather than having to trade physical objects/services directly.
your welcome
if you think groups of people shouldnt rise up because doing so would 'segregate the rights of those unaffected' then you obviously feel that the suffrage movement or the american civil war or workers revolts or literally any revolution in the history of the world should never have taken place. youd probably be perfectly fine with totalitarian monarchies because revolting against them would 'segregate the rights' of the rulers.
and its not just you. conservatives are really really stupid - the type of people who ban mexican-studies from colleges because it promotes resentment towards a particular class of people (white folks) or try and ban shows about muslims because they dont depict extremism. you all need to shut up and open your eyes to the realities of the world.
California is too expensive, and Florida has too many snakes and bugs. My hometown is in Pennsylvania, but I go to school in Virginia, which I find far preferable. I hope to perhaps live there someday.
Politically, I consider myself Right Libertarian. I'm personally a fan of Ron Paul because of the amount of power he believes in giving to the states. Though some of his personal stances are too conservative for me (for example, he is personally opposed to gay rights), I find his desired methods admirable.

"you are gay furthermore you like sex with men" ~god
One of the Seven Deadly Sins of PD: Femme Greed
so instead of actual effort in bettering yourself socially or economically, your plan is to take down what those who have more privileges have? also, privileges that specifically benefit any race or sex need to be removed from any form of legislation. people should only be judged on merit. not their sex/race/origin. my point was to remove the prior discrimination altogether. the revision is simple, and affects everyone rather than positively towards one race or sex. gays should be allowed to marry federally, but be married as people, not as gay or straight couples. that basic identity of "gay", "black", "latino", etc. in politics is what i'm fighting against. not promoting the lack of rights, but rather the universal rights.
also, reality and ideological conceptuality are 2 different things rayne. its simply an idea that i strongly support.
btw, arent their a huge cross section of liberals supporting SOPA? ^^
keep your "these people are stupid" claims to the playground.
your welcome
Ron Paul wanting to give power to the states is, in my opinion, one of the worst things about him. A country NEEDS to have some level of cohesion - it needs some sort of nation-wide direction on combating climate change, driving a foreign policy agenda (I seem to recall that Ron Paul says that if a state wants to declare war, that's totally fine), the economic system, etc. The system we have here works fine - our delegated assemblies, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, are allowed to set tax bands in a limited range and change public spending in certain areas.
The Founding Fathers could not have envisioned any of the issues which a modern society would face. Blindly relying on exactly what the constitution delineates is acceptable practice would be foolish. Why do you think they created a system for amending the constitution?
You should rely on the state for certain matters, like certain areas of public spending and cultural matters.
i can be a conservative, but i support less power to the states. state law usually depends on the people's culture to decide the governing ideas rather than what would benefit everyone in every state.
it would also benefit trade by losing many state-tariff laws that cause shipping issues to and from certain states.
your welcome

Years ago on a first trip to Yellowstone National Park I was struck by the colors to be found in the flows of the steaming hot waters. While others focused on the dramatic geysers and held up traffic to watch buffalo and elk, I found myself looking closely at the edges of pools and streams and admiring the wealth of abstract patterns and textures formed by the delicate yet hardy life forms that survive in these hostile environments.
In 2008 the time had come to revisit Yellowstone and make a serious effort to capture the grandeur of Yellowstone in its intimate details. Here are some of the images from that trip.
Hanford St. Gallery offers Fine Art, Crafts and Photography by emerging and established artists working in both contemporary and traditional areas. Our goal is to: Provide the community with opportunities to experience the visual arts with a fresh perspective. Build a learning environment that integrates the arts into everyday life. Introduce new ways of seeing that allow art to inform how we interact with the world. Create relationships with the schools that bring art into the lives of young people. Foster an understanding of art as a way of being; not just something to admire (or criticize) from a distance.

ECOVIEWS: Fashion and ecology do not go hand-in-hand
Published: Sunday, June 24, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 22, 2012 at 8:32 p.m.
On a recent visit to the mall, I noticed that jeans with holes in them must still be in fashion among adolescents. This reminded me of a column I wrote years ago about Tom Cruise, blue jeans and ecology. As summer gets into full swing, I thought the column, which is a bit less weighty than some, would bear repeating.
I have seen Tom Cruise on interview shows wearing blue jeans with a big hole in the knee. Now, we all know that a Hollywood movie star of his stature can afford a new pair of jeans, so clearly the hole in the knee is a fashion statement. Young people are also fans of holey jeans but I can assure you that not many professional ecologists wear such garb, at least not in the field. Though I myself am fond of old, faded-and-patched jeans, the ones I wear do not have holes in the knees. Not anymore.
One summer day, I went on a field trip to look for aquatic turtles with Vincent Burke, a University of Georgia graduate student. As we left the house, I grabbed a pair of blue jeans, field shoes and a T-shirt and hurriedly began putting them on as we rode along. The process went even faster after Vincent suggested that he drive. Field ecologists rely on blue jeans to protect them from a lot of biting, stinging, thorny things. As I put this old and worn pair on, I ripped a huge hole in the right knee, just below an earlier patch. How fashionable, I thought. I will look good in the field, like Tom Cruise. I asked Vincent if he had brought a camera.
I may have looked good (although possibly not as good as Tom Cruise), but I would soon feel awful. I got my first inkling that fashion and ecology do not go hand-in-hand as we made our way from the truck to the pond. We walked through a patch of blackberry bushes about the size of Vermont. Blackberries are the silver lining of a very black cloud known as blackberry briars. By the time I reached the water, my right knee looked like an angry bobcat had used it as a scratching post.
Well, I thought, once I start wading around, my knee won't feel so bad. This was momentarily true when we reached an area of knee-deep water. Then, I discovered a second hazard of a good-looking tear at the knee: a small insect known as a backswimmer. Backswimmers defend themselves by jabbing their mouth parts into the body of anything they consider a threat. They are not venomous and won't hurt you at all unless you provoke them. But their "bite" hurts like a bee sting for a minute or so.
Blue jeans, socks and shoes generally confer protection from backswimmers, which only bite people when they are pressed against a person's body and cannot escape.
Do you think a big hole in a pair of blue jeans would let in a half-inch-long backswimmer? Yes, quite a few.
One after another ended up inside my pants leg, pressed tightly against my right leg. Being squeezed between denim and tender flesh provoked them, and each proceeded to protect itself. The experience was not enjoyable. (Tom Cruise always seems quite comfortable in knee-torn blue jeans when being interviewed. But then I have never seen him interviewed while he was standing in water infested with backswimmers.)
Upon leaving the water, I encountered a low-lying branch that aimed right for my Achilles knee. Later, a horsefly decided my exposed knee was the most delectable eating spot in the county. The final blow came when I knelt down to observe a hole in the sand dug by a lizard. Sure enough, the only sharp-edged rock within a hundred yards was lying right where I put my knee.
I plan to discard this fashionable pair of blue jeans. If Tom Cruise needs another pair, he's welcome to them.

Secrets of Success
Getting a head over the Easter Holiday
Sunday, March 31, 2013
I have been really good. Really really good.
Normally: (in the past) I would have bought malted Easter eggs a few weeks before Easter and eaten them all by Easter morning, without giving any to my kids, who don't really care for them. Since I am avoiding wheat, I didn't think they would be good anyway, so I did not buy them.
I bought peeps. I made a "peep" show with my husband for a contest at work. The theme we chose was the Annual White House Easter Egg Roll.
My husband folded tiny newspaper hats for the peeps, and I covered a miniature plastic bunny with foil to place in the tiny Easter basket.
So we have eaten a few of the peeps, and a few of the dark chocolate eggs... giving the rest to my sons. soon. later today.
Then I gave my husband a white cookie crunch solid bunny - 2.5 oz. and each of us one Russell Stover dark chocolate egg. Made in USA.
While he sleeps, the ham and veggies are cooking in the oven. With our lunch (peanut butter sandwich for him, and peanut butter on one slice of gluten free raisin toast for me with a glass of milk), he broke open his bunny. I asked if I could just have a nibble, so I wouldn't feel "deprived" as opposed to depraved. He took the ears. The smallest part left was the head, as the tail was rather blended into the body. So I ate the head. Now, the bunny can't hear us, or see us, to see us make him disappear. Actually, I found it way too sweet, and I am sure I will just leave it behind. Literally. Since all that is left is its body and behind. How do I weigh/measure the invisible head? It was about 1/8th of the total bunny, so I think I did pretty good.
As for Easter, it's really not about the bunny.
It is a deeper truth that builds my faith and is the rock for my life.
Hallelujah! May today be blessed for each of you.
Praise God! He Lives!

Very proud of you! I am amazed how much fun you can have on very little stuff. I must say that I had too much chocolate these days and I think, although there is still some around (which I did NOT buy), as of now (and being inspired by you) I am going cold turkey to meet most of my April goal.

Peeps, dark chocolate eggs, Russell Stover egg and one bunny head (weighing it before you ate it would have been good) lol, quite the variety, how did all that track out any way for a total? Mom gave me some lindor chocolate balls, and I tried two, but gave the third to my stepdad. I actually cannot stand normal milk chocolate, I have gotten used to the 90% cocoa dark Lindt chocolate and the rest doesn't seem like real chocolate to me. Hard to believe I once scooped up those foil wrapped eggs by the handful!! Peeps is something I have never had. Not sure we even have those here, but looking at the candy section is something I rarely do.
Enjoy your Easter Monday!

A COUNCIL tax rise of 1.9 per cent is being proposed by Barnsley Council, the first increase in four years.
It was agreed by the council's ruling cabinet on Wednesday and works out at a 44p increase a week for band D properties, about £22.81 a year, and a 29p a week for band A homes, about £15.20 a year.
However, the police and fire authorities have yet to formally set their own council tax requirements, which will affect the overall rate to be paid.
Council leader Sir Steve Houghton said: "I think it's right that 1.9 per cent will protect some front-line services being cut despite £27m in cuts to find next year.
"People are now beginning to see the pressure on services. It is a very difficult decision. It would be nice to be able to freeze it forever. We have to make sure the financial position is as sound as it can be."

What is a puppy mill? A "puppy mill" is a large-scale commercial dog-breeding operation, where profit is given priority over the dogs' well-being.
Puppy mills became prevalent after World War II, in response to widespread crop failures in the Midwest. The US Department of Agriculture began promoting purebred puppies as a fool-proof "cash crop." Chicken coops and rabbit hutches were repurposed for dogs, and the retail pet industry boomed with the increasing supply of puppies from the new mills.
The number of dogs in a puppy mill can vary significantly with some relatively small with only 10 breeding dogs, while other breeders run massive operations with more than 1,000 breeding dogs. It's impossible to know the true average because not all puppy mills are licensed and inspected.
Legitimate breeders put a lot of effort into giving puppies a good start in life by providing proper nutrition, veterinary attention, and thorough socialization. They place the utmost importance on producing the healthiest puppies possible. Unfortunately, puppy mill dogs aren't so lucky.
Puppy mill owners disregard genetic quality, which often results in generations of dogs with hereditary defects, including dental abnormalities, eye problems and limb deformities. Puppy mills usually house dogs in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, without adequate veterinary care, food, water, or socialization. The dogs don't get to experience treats, toys, exercise, or basic grooming. To minimize waste cleanup, they're often kept in cages with wire flooring that injures their paws and legs—and it's not unusual for cages to be stacked in tall columns.
The dogs used for breeding often spend their "entire lives" outdoors, exposed to the elements, or indoors, crammed inside filthy structures. They never get the chance to feel the sun or a gust of fresh air on their faces.
How often are dogs bred in puppy mills? To maximize profit, female dogs are bred at every opportunity, with little or no recovery time between litters. After a few years, when they are physically depleted to the point that they no longer can reproduce, breeding females are often killed. The parents of that puppy in the pet store window are unlikely to make it out of the mill alive—and neither will the many puppies born with overt physical problems.
There is no legal definition of "puppy mill." Many pet store owners will tell you they get all their puppies from licensed USDA breeders or local breeders. The fact is, responsible breeders would never sell a puppy through a pet store because they want to screen potential buyers to ensure that the puppies are going to good homes.
What can you do to help stop puppy mills?
- You can also "Take the Pledge" – that you'll never shop in a store that sells puppies— even if you're just buying food or toys.
- You can join the Advocacy Brigade. You'll receive alerts that make it easy to fight for laws that protect dogs in puppy mills.
- You can adopt a puppy mill survivor. Puppy mill survivors need patient, loving adopters who can help them learn to trust people.
The most important thing you can do to help shut down puppy mills is refuse to shop at a store that sells puppies. And, you can share this article with others.

The race was set up by Keswick Rugby Club in order to raise funds for the club and the youth coaching program. We are one of only a handfull of small clubs in the country to have a full time rugby development officer who spends the majority of his time in the local schools. The half marathon is one of the events that helps to fund this coaching program so your support is greatly appreciated.

Marion County Man Arrested on Child Abuse Charges
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on December 10, 2012 @ 4:53PM
Created on December 09, 2012 @ 3:15PM
A Marion County man was arrested last week on several child abuse charges.
Police said 40-year-old Dale Barber, Sr. was arrested on three felony counts of child abuse causing injury.
One of those charges stemmed from an incident when Barber supposedly struck an 11-year-old boy on his chest with a wooden board. That caused the boy to have a bruise. Barber apparently struck the boy because he wasn't doing his exercises correctly.
Barber was arraigned on Thursday and released on a $15,000 bond.
If you suspect child abuse, call Sgt. Adam Scott with the State Police Crimes Against Children Unit at (304) 367-2701.

The Cheesecake Factory 'Leads' the (Fanny) Pack at 2014 Xtreme Eating Awards
Related Links
View the full Xtreme Eating 2014 report here
Nutrition Action Healthletter Looks at Bruléed French Toast, Bottomless Steak Fries, Monster Milkshakes and Other Such Innovations
July 30, 2014
Three of nine Xtreme Eating Awards for 2014 were won by The Cheesecake Factory, though the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest says the 150-outlet mall fixture could have easily swept the entire list. The chains Bruléed French Toast, a plate of custard-soaked bread, topped with powdered sugar and served with maple-butter syrup and bacon, would require one to swim laps for seven hours to burn off its 2,780 calories. The meal also has almost five days worth of saturated fat (93 grams), 2,230 milligrams of sodium (more than a days worth), and 24 teaspoons of (mostly) added sugar. To put that load of sugar into context, the American Heart Association recommends a daily limit of nine teaspoons of added sugar for men and six for women.
The Cheesecake Factory may have reformulated a few dishes in response to being named a winner of Xtreme Eating Awards in years past. I was sick of winning that prize, Cheesecake Factory founder and chief executive officer David M. Overton told the Wall Street Journal. Nevertheless, the chain still sports numerous highly qualified Xtreme contenders, including a 2,800-calorie brunch item, a 2,400-calorie pasta, and a 1,500-calorie slice of cheesecake.
The Cheesecake Factory's Farfalle with Chicken and Roasted Garlic packs a three-day load of saturated fat
Mr. Overton may be tiring of the prize, but hes certainly making sure that The Cheesecake Factory remains the most calorically extreme chain that weve seen, said CSPI dietitian Paige Einstein.
Other winners of the 2014 Xtreme Eating Awards include:
- The Cheesecake Factorys Farfalle with Chicken and Roasted Garlic doesnt sound excessive and features mushrooms, tomato, peas, and caramelized onions. But cream sauce helps bring its caloric payload to 2,410 calories, the calorie equivalent of a five-hour jog, as well as three days worth of saturated fat (63 grams) and 1,370 mg of sodium.
- The single unhealthiest meal CSPI found came from the 470-outlet Red Robin Gourmet Burgers. Its a Monster-sized A.1. Peppercorn burger, Bottomless Steak Fries, and Monster Salted Caramel Milkshake which has a grand total of 3,540 calories, three-and-a-half days saturated fat (69 grams), and four days worth of sodium (6,280 mg). CSPI estimates the dish has 38 teaspoonsalmost three-quarters of a cupof added sugar. To dispose of those calories, the average person would need to walk briskly for a full 12 hours.
- The Big Slab of St. Louis-Style Spareribs at Famous Daves yields one-and-a-half pounds of pork. Add Famous Fries, Wilbur Beans, and a Corn Bread Muffin and the meal has 2,770 calories, 54 grams of saturated fat, 4,320 mg of sodium, and 14 teaspoons of sugar. Not planning on mowing the lawn for seven and a half hours hours after dinner? Expect the spareribs dinner to end up in your spare tire, Nutrition Action says.
- Joes Crab Shack attracted CSPIs attention in April when it discovered that the chain still used artificial trans fat in its kitchens. This wasnt one of the meals with trans fat, but The Big Hook Up platter at Joes is one of the highest-calorie entrées CSPI has ever found. Its a friedfoodaganza of something called Great Balls of Fire (seafood and crab balls full of jalapeños and cream cheese coated in panko breadcrumbs served with ranch), Fish & Chips, Coconut Shrimp, Crab Stuffed Shrimp, Hushpuppies, and Coleslaw. The entire meal has 3,280 calories, 50 grams of saturated fat, and 7,610 mg of sodium. To burn off that many calories, one would need to play golf (without a cart or a caddie) for 11 straight hours.
When French toast is Bruléed, fries are bottomless, and steaks are now garnished with not just one, but two Italian sausages, its clear that caloric extremism still rules the roost at many of Americas chain restaurants, Einstein said. Two out of three American adults are overweight or obese and one in 10 adults has diabetes, thanks in part to The Cheesecake Factory, Chevys Fresh Mex, Maggianos Little Italy, and much of the rest of Americas chain restaurant industry.
Some help may soon be on the way for people who want to avoid 2,500-calorie entrées and 1,500-calorie desserts at chain restaurants. The health care reform legislation signed in 2010 contained a requirement that chains with 20 or more outlets disclose calorie counts on menus. The menu labeling regulations are being finalized by the Food and Drug Administration and the White House. When the rules go into effect, diners will easily see, for instance, that a slice of The Cheesecake Factorys Reeses Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake has 1,500 calories. (Unfortunately, the rules would not require the chain to disclose the fact that it would take four-and-a-half hours of aerobics to burn off that slice).

What I would like is to see the whole posts in the category pages just as on the frontpage.
Anyone that can help med and tell me how to do this.
I thought it was just a setting but can't find anything that could change that.

Each February for the last 40 years, thousands of cross-country skiers - including a strong contingent of Parkites - have descended on the Northwoods Wisconsin villages of Hayward and Cable for the American Birkebeiner, the largest ski race in the United States. The race, which began in 1973 with a mere 53 participants, has grown today to 10,000. The Birkie was the dream of entrepreneur Tony Wise, who envisioned his race as part of a vast global network affording ordinary "citizen skiers" the opportunity to ski the world as part of a circuit unmatched in all of sport.
This past weekend, representatives from the 16-nation "Worldloppet" convened in northern Wisconsin for the series' annual General Meeting. I was the PR director for the American Birkebeiner and the fledgling Worldloppet series during its origin in 1979, and the meeting brought back memories and rekindled friendships for me. And it provided a platform to remind today's generation of worldwide race leaders of the vision that had its humble beginnings just a few miles from where the delegates were meeting.
Skiing in America has been blessed with great leaders who brought innovation to a sport that was very Euro-centric - visionaries like Willy Schaeffler and Bob Beattie, and the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association's own Howard Peterson and Bill Marolt. Tony Wise was another pioneer of the post-World War II era who spearheaded the growth of alpine skiing in middle America.
The Birkie grew like wildfire, from a tiny turnout in 1973 to thousands just four years later. line> 1977, Wise had set his sights higher, looking for a way to tie in the Birkie to a global series - one he would create! That fall he picked up the phone and called the leaders of every major ski race in the world, inviting them to Telemark Lodge in northern Wisconsin to form what we then called the World Loppet League. No one knew him. All were skeptical. But they all came to hear him out. And in January 1979, the dream became a reality.
Around 60,000 participants skied in the nine races that first year. Today, over 135,000 participate annually in 16-stop Worldloppet tour. Four more "associate races" were added last weekend. Nearly 4,000 skiers have achieved Worldloppet Masters status by completing 10 or more races in their lifetimes - among them Park City skiers Bob Gross and Gary and Nancy Fichter.
"I remember that there was much pageantry with oompah bands and feed stations in all the small cities," said Gross, who in addition to skiing in 10 events has worked as an official at eight. "People would have their programs and yell your name as you went by. In the Swedish Vasa, I can still remember the smell of the warming fires that everybody had along the way."
"It's just amazing the vision that he had," said Italian Angelo Corradini, the longtime secretary general of the Worldloppet. "His idea was brilliant to bring all these nations together. There is simply nothing like this in any other sport."
While my own work has long since moved away from the Worldloppet and cross-country ski marathons, it's always remained in my heart. Being a part of a formative idea - like the development of the USSA's Center of Excellence and, similarly, the origin of the Worldloppet 35 years ago - is something that remains with you always.
In 1983 and '84, through my Worldwide Nordic USA adventure travel company, I led the first American sportsmen to Murmansk, 500 miles above the Arctic Circle, in what was then the Soviet Union. While our nations battled politically, as sportsmen we built friendships.
In its 35 years, the Worldloppet has brought together hundreds of thousands of cross-country skiers. They've learned about other cultures and shared the lifestyle they had in common. What better way to see the world, foster friendship and share peace. Every nation is a unique culture, but each shares the commonality of sport.
One of the most experienced communications professionals in skiing, Tom Kelly is a veteran of eight Olympics and serves as vice president, Communications, for the Park City-based U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association. A Wisconsin native, he and his wife Carole Duh have lived in Park City since 1988 when he's not traveling the world with the team.

Pulsar is a modern team based space combat game. There will be 4 different game types but Domination is what makes Pulsar really special. In Domination the objective is to destroy all the competing team's base and take control of the system. However, it's not just about combat; we've added a touch of strategy through the use of team resources. Teams will need to reach a science level of 10 before they'll acquire the right weapons necessary to take out an enemy base. To reach each science level teams will need to acquire resources. The more resources, the faster your team can level up. Use your resources wisely because too few spent on upgrades can leave you vulnerable to attack, but spend too much on upgrades and your leveling will take too long. Die too much and lose valuable resources to respawn. With each new science level also comes new upgrades, so don't waste time, help with mining to speed things along. Fierce dogfights will ensue while teams race to reign victorious.

The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department released photos of the WWII machine gun, 12 rifles, pistols and other items along with white Supremacist materials after an investigation last week.
According to Deputy Jodi Wolfen, on Tues., Jan. 7th at about 5 a.m., the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Special Enforcement Bureau (SEB), Palmdale Station Detectives and Partners Against Crime (PAC), served a high risk search warrant at a residence on the 10000 block of East Avenue S-4, in the Littlerock area, resulting in the three arrests.
This case actually opened up for detectives approximately three weeks ago when a storage unit in the city of Palmdale was burglarized, resulting in the theft of four guns.
Using departmental resources and training, Palmdale Detectives developed information which resulted in today's search warrant.
Deputies recovered several reported stolen guns and discovered an underground bunker which included a 25 yard shooting range in an "out building" behind the primary location. Furthermore, deputies recovered a large cache of weapons and ammunition which included:
• 6 pistols
• 11 rifles
• WWII Machine gun
• over a 1,000 rounds of ammunition
• Approximately 150 magazines
• Approximately 50 high capacity magazines
• several items of White Supremacist paraphernalia
The three suspects arrested at the location were 54 year-old Littlerock resident Todd Hunt, 33 year-old Littlerock resident Royce Gresham and 62 year-old Littlerock resident Larry Finnell.
All three suspects were transported and booked at the Palmdale Sheriff's Station. Hunt was booked on charges of Possession of an Assault weapon with a bail amount of $35,000. Gresham was booked on charges of a Felon in Possession of a Firearm with a bail amount of $35,000. Finnell was booked on charges of a Felon in Possession of a Firearm with a bail amount of $35,000.
The ongoing investigation is being handled by Palmdale Detective Bureau.

Reviews for Calico Beans
"I made this and sent it with my husband to a potluck. He came home with an empty dish--so I guess it was a hit! I could not find butter beans in the store so I used black beans. I added about 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke. I will save this recipe and make it again."
"We made this at our Girl Scout overnight for a hearty lunch served with cornbread. It was a big hit and very tasty and filling after a morning hike! Easy for the girls (12 and 13) to prep and serve."
"I have made this dish for potlucks and family dinners numerous times and am always asked for the recipe. I use a 13 by 9 inch baking dish and add an interesting twist by turning the oven up to 400 degrees during the last 10-15 minutes and topping the beans with canned biscuits (Grands are great!) and sprinkling shredded cheese on top of the biscuits. Bake until the biscuits are fluffy and brown."
"Just took these to my niece's wedding reception! A gal searched me out as I was leaving with my crockpot to find out "who made those beans!!" Made my day! Best and easiest recipe ever!!!"
"Very good, exactly the recipe I was looking for! Doubled it and took it for Christmas dinner, still had plenty of leftovers. I used recipe ready bacon bits and no one could tell!"

When THQ bit the dust a while back, Vigil Games was one of the companies which didn't get purchased. This seemed to spell the end of the popular Darksiders franchise.
However, hope is not lost. It would appear that Crytek USA CEO David Adams has expressed an interest in purchasing the IP he and many members of his newly-formed studio previously worked on during their time at Vigil.
A Twitter account claiming to belong to Adams has posted several tweets stating an intent to purchase the intellectual rights from defunct THQ:
Looking to buy @Darksiders IP back from #THQ. The IP belongs in the hands of its creators. #PS3 #Xbox— David Adams (@DadamsDavid) March 27, 2013
And upon being asked whether the Wii U would be considered, the former Vigil co-founder added:
@jimmyelgringito @darksiders oops. I worked on the initial #WiiU port - how could I have forgotten!— David Adams (@DadamsDavid) March 27, 2013
The Adams account is unverified and contains too few posts to prove its legitimacy with any degree of confidence. It should also be noted that there was evidence after THQ's initial sale that Darksiders would be abandoned. However, changes can happen and the Austin, Texas-based Crytek USA may be able to save the brand.
If news of a purchase proves true, would you support a resurrection of the Darksiders franchise?

I am using Ruby 1.8.7, Watir-Webdriver 0.6.1, Arch Linux, Firefox 14
I have read a lot of answers and examples in this topic, but none of them worked for me. When I want to paste a large piece of data (only about 15 lines of text) into a textarea it is terrible slow. As I don't want typing emulation, I would like the maximum available speed, so I tried to set the variable "browser.speed = :zippy" but it seems don't work in Watir-Webdriver, only an error message appears: "undefined method `speed=' for #"
Then I tried to set native_events to false, an error message arises again: "undefined method `native_events' for #" so I am a bit confused.
This is my whole code snippet
require 'rubygems'
require 'watir-webdriver'
require 'xmlsimple'
default_profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.from_name "default"
default_profile.native_events = false
browser = Watir::Browser.new :ff, :profile => default_profile
browser.speed = :zippy
line 5. and 6. and 8. all throw an error message.
At last I tried to edit text_field.rb as it is mentioned in this answer (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5000164/firewatir-textfield-set-very-slow) but it is in a .gem file and in a tar.gz. I unzipped but I am unable to find the relevant lines:

remove_method :type # we want Input#type here, which was overriden by TextArea's attributes

AMERICA! ARE YOU READY? Last night was the Live to Dance finale! Did you watch it live? I didn't! I drank a lot of wine at a fancy restaurant instead! Luckily DVRs enable us to watch any television event on our own time, particularly after midnight and after several glasses of Sangiovese. And, honestly, would Paula Abdul want it any other way?
Was last night a doozy! So much drama! So much dancing! Well, it really wasn't all that exciting, but the producers certainly tried to make us think there would be! "This is the biggest dance show prize in television history!" host Andrew Günsberg shouted! I guess that is true; So You Think You Can Dance only awards $250,000 to its winner, and Paula's reality-show baby is giving away half-million dollar prize. Ya burnt, So You Think You Can Dance!
The six finalists—White Tree Fine Art, Twitch, Kendall Glover, D'Angelo and Amanda, Dance Town Chaos, and The Vibe—danced together for the very first time! It was also the last time, but no one bothered to stress that fact because everyone was too overwhelmed by the fact there were at least a hundred people on stage. And they were wearing really bad clothes, which is what I focused most of my attention on. Why would the dude from Twitch want to wear metallic American Apparel leggings? Why did they match the White Tree Fine Art girl's outfit? And why were the dudes in Dance Town Chaos encircling poor Kendall Glover in a way in which it's impossible to describe without using the word "rapey"?
At least I wasn't the only one so blown away by the madness on stage. There's always Paula, whose slightly incoherent ramblings seem to express exactly that the poor audience is thinking. "This is the first week that working with all sixty bazillion of you wasn't like a competition," she said. "The parents have manufactured the beautiful, beautiful people here." Thanks, parents! Where would we be without the parents slaving away in the dancer factory manufacturing these beautiful humans whose only purpose in life is to provide America with high-concept, hip-hop and ballet-infused dance routines? (Well, I suppose there'd be one less dance competition to sit through.)
After Paula's done talking, Andrew Günsberg announces the top three acts. It's a shocker! We've got White Tree Fine Art, D'Angelo and Amanda, and Kendall Glover! I was rather shocked that giant dance troupes Twitch, Dance Town Chaos, and The Vibe were immediately out of the running, and the results could mean either of the following: America hates giant groups of people jumping around a stage in slight unison, or the producers realized that handing out a ton of money to twenty people would require a lot more paperwork than they were willing to complete.
Once the top three were announced, it was time to look back at why we (all of the Americans) loved these people so much. D'Angelo and Amanda perform a fun little salsa number—at least I assume it's a salsa number. If I have learned anything from this show, it is that assuming that the couple of Hispanic kids are always performing a salsa is probably a little racist. But they are adorable, which is the most important part, and, per usual, Paula agrees with me! "You two are extraordinary," she gushes. "I wish Mattel would manufacture you into bobbleheads and put you on a shelf right now." Hey now, Paula, stop stealing jobs from the parents and giving them to big businesses! This show is for Americans!
Next up we had White Tree Fine Art doing what they do best: Performing ballet to a cover of "Hallelujah." At first I thought it was a clip from their first performance as it was the same song and the same choreography, but then I realized once Andrew started talking to them about being finalists that I was not hallucinating some glitch in the space-time continuum. Before I could get too angry, Paula started talking again. "You taught me I can have more strength than I already have," she said, possibly alluding that the duo's skills helped her beat bigger demons.
Finally, Kendall Glover cartwheeled out from the wings with her trademark mohawk and a tutu that looked like it was made from frayed pipe cleaners. She flipped and pranced along like a magical sprite to Katy Perry's "Firework." Do I ever feel like a plastic bag? No, but I definitely felt like I had huffed paint from one after little Kendall's routine was over. Again, the experts were impressed, and Paula continued to make outlandish remarks peppered with her personal brand of crazy: "You're every girl's best friend, you're every parent's dream daughter, and you're every choreographer's brilliant shining star."
At the end of the show, Andrew revealed that White Tree Fine Art was the third-place act, letting me rest assured that the small percentage of Americans who watched this show are not easily tricked by a Leonard Cohen cover. After a commercial break, Andrew said, "In a couple of minutes, one of these two people will win half a million dollars," and it made me both angry that he wouldn't just say it already and a little sad that I wouldn't be able to hear the cast of this show awkwardly make grammatical mistakes while addressing groups of dancers as single people.
Finally, after a silence as light as a feather, D'Angelo and Amanda became AMERICA'S GREATEST DANCERS. The crowd went wild, and the Heavens opened up and the hand of God (who is American) came down and touched his (God is a man) hands down upon the precious D'Angelo and Amanda. Experts Travis Payne and Kimberly Wyatt sprouted wings and ascended into the sky, their lives fully complete after finding their true purpose on this earth. "Tonight we proved that America really does live to dance!" Andrew shouted before running out of the theater to catch a cab to the airport, making a quick escape back to Australia. Finally, Paula tearfully shouts, "I've never worked this hard on such a beautiful project," and the bulky halo above her head shone brightly, filling the auditorium with a warm, comforting light. All of America sighed a breath of relief that this arduous search for the act who would best represent us through dance had finally ended.

Frustrated with spouse
I'm a stay at home mom of a 7 year old and will have a C-section with out second child next week. I cannot get my husband to do anything around the house for me, he thinks that because I am a stay at home mom that his only job is to go to work come home and sit down and that is it. I do all the cooking and cleaning as well as handle all the finances. It has gotten so bad that I can't even get him to rinse a plate off. I'm ready to beat him with a frying pan till I knock some sense into him... Can anyone give me some advice without making my spouse think that all I am doing is nagging???? Frustrated

what a lazy bum. go ahead and nag him, he deserves it. i hate when people think stay at home moms don't do anything all day ... do they think a pack of fairy godparents showed up to do all the cooking and cleaning and laundry and childcare?? i agree with the one who said you should stop doing all his cooking and cleaning. take care of yourself and your kids, who have seen what you do all day and appreciate you.posted 04/15/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Talk w/him, be careful on the tone you use when speaking to him, I have learned that my husband doesn't respond well when my tone is a bit harsh. Also, maybe if you say something like "So, I was thinking, since you work & I will be having a c-section that it would be great to have someone from a cleaning service come a few times a week to help keep this house in order. If I do this, it will be ($$$ amount) per week, and it would be for at least until I am fully recovered. Is that ok with you? If not, what do you suggest?" Maybe the fact that he will need to work O/T or have to add another bill on top of the ones you guys already have may change his mind & want to help (saving money). Also, asking him for his opinion, is great because if he says you guys can't afford it, then you can ask him what he will feel comfortable doing around the house & maybe get him to pitch in. I wouldn't recommend going to MIL for this as one person suggested. Good Luck & just keep trying to communicate!posted 04/12/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
hmm your MIL could be your worst enemy though an honestly it can just give her ammo plus if he is like many men he will feel betrayed you told her your guys' business. I see this all the time its like saying welcome to the club. Men think that becoming a SAHM we are slaves! WE ARE NOT we are people too! Being a parent 24/7 is a full time job. Some people choose to pay people to watch their kids so they can work to keep their sanity, well, bring that up to him. People also get paid lots of money to be book keepers and he isnt paying you or helping you! I mean, deal with it, or ask him for help as I tell lots of people men need you to communicate with them short and sweet. Not in a moment. But sit down with him NOT IN BED EITHER, and tell him, that things need to change you need help and what is he going to do when you have the baby and are healing? He sure is trying to put a lot off on you but all men seem to be like that. Its irritating I agree that men are ignorantposted 04/04/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
How is your relationship with your mother in law? If it's good, get his mother on him. I'm not kidding. You have enough to do without having to clean up after a grown man, and if anyone understands that, it's another mother. She'll tell him a thing or two! (If that isn't possible, I'd just stop cleaning up after him. Don't do his laundry, don't do his dishes - just take care of yourself and the kiddos. When he runs out of underpants, and you don't have time to drop everything and run him a load of laundry, he'll understand just how much you do around that house REAL quick.) Good luck, hon. There's nothing more frustrating than people who think you "don't do anything" because you "don't have a real job." grrrrrposted 04/03/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

ESPN Star Sports and Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment have tied up to promote upcoming ICC Twenty20 World Cup and multi-starrer comedy "Houseful", both of which are opening April 30.
"Cricket is passion, cricket is entertainment and in the same way film is passion and entertainment. Hopefully every stadium where India will play will be houseful. During the first year of ICC Twenty20 World Cup, 'Heyy Babyy' had tie up with it and India won the final," said director Sajid Khan, at Taj Lands End Hotel here Wednesday.
"This is the third time we are coming in tie-up with ESPN and Twenty20 and hopefully this time India will again bring back the cup and our film will also do well."
This is the third time after "Mujhse Shaadi Karoge" and "Heyy Babyy" that Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and ESPN Star Sports have joined hands together.
The forthcoming ICC World Twenty20 will be held in West Indies From April 30-May 14.
Sajid Khan considers it as a lucky tie-up.
"Arjun, Riteish, Akshay, Lara and myself have done a series of ads for Twenty20. It's a sort of a lucky tie-up. I think this is good for ESPN Star Sports and the film. We had collaboration twice and every time we were mutually benefited," he Sajid.

Andrew Thay, BVSc, Medical Director
Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, Dr. Thay made the move to South Florida in 2008. He has a keen interest in endocrinology, emergency and critical care, and soft tissue surgery.
I decided to become a Veterinarian in high school. I have always loved animals and science, and I believe that veterinary medicine is a perfect blend of these two interests. I love approaching a complicated case and putting together all the pieces to complete the puzzle. I grew up with a wonderful dog named Tyler, and losing him also shaped my desire to help animals and their families.
In 2008, I decided to come to the United States after graduating from The University of Melbourne, Australia. I realized then that I wanted to try something different, maybe live in a different country for a while. I got offered my first job in Miami and found myself flying across the Pacific to be where I am right now.
My current canine buddy is "Samantha". Samantha was left in a box outside of the hospital when she was a few days old. Her eyes were not even open at that point. She often likes to come to work with me and has a very naughty tendancy to follow anyone who smells like they've got treats.

Hello ladies, my DD is 10 weeks old and I've been EBF since day 1. I've never had issues with milk supply but all of a sudden this week my milk has been decreasing significantly. I don't know what the problem is but I'm freaking out. The only different thing I've done is starting to take Zyrtec daily to be ready for allergy season (which is HORRIBLE in GA).
Has anyone experience an issue with milk supply when taking allergy medicines? Any advice??? I'm going back to work in 2 weeks and I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to have enough supply.

Sean David, originally from Jacksonville, Florida, where in the guise of his alter ego, Jack "Of All Trades" Steelman" he served as MC, Troubadour, Gentleman and all around good guy for Professor Whiskey's Traveling Bizarre Bazaar as well as Molotov Cocktail Party and other entertainment and theatrical productions.
"With a bit of humor, charm, and magic rolled into every performance, I support troupes all over Florida as an experienced MC"
Sean has over 10 years experience playing guitar and writing original music and is working toward a degree in music instruction. He now resides in the Savannah, GA area where he is a private music instructor.
Sean has a genuine love of music and a strong desire to help others in any way he can, so strong that in his advertisements for music students he states " I promise to charge a lower fee than you'll find at most local music stores because I believe in the music, not the money."
Sean decided it was time to take that belief, along with his musical experience and talent and produce his first EP titled "Forever" In his own words, concerning the "Forever" EP
"I believe there are songs out there that can help us find ourselves and I want to be a part of that. I'm not aiming at rich and famous, I just want to make people happy."
To kick off the release of "Forever" Sean returned to Jacksonville and Rain dogs; Cafe, Art Gallery, Concert Venue, where he made a lot of people very happy.
Shawn Lightfoot joined Sean David onstage to start the night and then Sean David, with a more than a little wit and humor and bunches of musical talent gave the audience, Forever.
The music was warmly received with many a smile given and more than a few happy tears shed.
In keeping with Sean's belief of music, not money he has made the "Forever" EP available, completely free of charge , on bandcamp.
