Who is the Sexiest Bartender at the Beach?
- Details
- Written by Shore Thing Vacation Rentals on Tuesday, August 28th 2012
Sexiest Bartender in Ocean City
My husband and I have found ourselves becoming "regulars" at our local eatery, Kirby's Red Onion Grille. They don't shout "Norm" when we arrive, but then again that's not our name. And everybody doesn't know our name-- that would just indicate that we are there entirely too much. But we are always greeted with a smile, friendly conversation, and drinks that we don't even have to order by name--Paulie knows.
Not too long ago, we were at Kirby's for a bite to eat and a drink. (They have consistently awesome steamed shrimp—you've got to try it!) The mood was celebratory. Justin Timberlake was bringing sexy back and Right Said Fred was too sexy for his shirt. Apparently, our bartender, Paulie Smith, was nominated for the title of Sexiest Bartender at the Beach. The Maryland Beachcomber newspaper features a new sexy bartender nominee each week . Come Labor Day, voting will determine the chosen Sexiest Bartender at the Beach.
The Kirby's staff had a reason to celebrate and to tease Paulie. Paulie was outwardly modest; but c'mon, it had to have put a smile on his face. He was just smart enough not to strut and set himself up for more abuse.
With this honor, why are we staking claim?—our pub, our bartender. Jim & I had nothing to do with Paulie's sexiness.
But we celebrated just the same.
I had heard that Paulie was up against some competition. We won't know until after Labor Day. Given the choice, I would vote for Paulie and here's why:
- 1.He'sUsually, if you're voted as sexy, you're single—unless you're in Hollywood. Not that marriage makes you less sexy, you just don't win awards for it.
- 2.He's 38 yearsHave you seen the other nominees? 22, 23, 29,etc. years old. Who says you can't be sexy as you age? Lots of people. Again, unless you're in Hollywood (and a man). People magazine chose as their Sexiest Man Alive : Sean Connery at 59 & Harrison Ford at 57. I'm thinking they wouldn't have been chosen if they were tending bar in Ocean City, Maryland.
- 3.He's not in his 20'You can call it age discrimination, but I'm going to go with someone closer to my age.
- 4.He's a friendly, likable guy that serves good food and drinks withoutHe takes great care of his customers and his staff too. Isn't that what makes a good bartender?
- 5.Sexiest? Well, since both my husband and Paulie may read this, I'm going to go back to #4.
So, where can you find the Sexiest Bartender at the Beach?
Kirby's Red Onion Grille
138th Street & Coastal Highway
Ocean City, MD 21842
You'll find Paulie and the whole crew to be fun & friendly. Their kitchen is open until 1:30, far later than most. Great food. The shrimp are my personal favorite, but the burgers and wings are good bet too. They have enough TVs to watch multiple sports at once. Football, woo-hoo! And you won't be watching alone. Kirby's stays pretty busy all year round. They must be doing something right.
So if you'll be vacationing in Ocean City, be sure to visit

(Sorry. Shameless plug, I know)
And when you're there, be sure to stop into Kirby's Red Onion Grille.
Celebrate North Wildwood's Irish Fall Festival 2012

- Written by Veronica Transue on Tuesday, August 21st 2012
In the words of my friend Paul Moore, of the Paul Moore Band,
"We're on the road to Anglesea." And why?
To share in the Irish Fall Festival in North Wildwood
—of course!
For the past 21 years, people have flocked to North Wildwood to celebrate in this monumental summer farewell. Paul and his Irish bands have entertained the Irish Weekend crowds from the very beginning. I remember spending the weekend in Wildwood when there were just a few hundred people attending. Now, the event has flourished into a party of well over 200,000 visitors.
During the Irish Fall Festival, everyone in Wildwood is Irish!

Lifeguard Rescues 3 in Ocean City
- Details
- Written by Shannon Valentine on Monday, July 30th 2012
I've had the pleasure of spending most of July in Ocean City, MD. (A mobile office has its advantages!) As anyone in the Northeast knows, the weather has been, for lack of a better word: extreme. In a few short weeks, we've experienced temperatures in the 90's, torrential downpours, window-rattling thunder and even hail. I overheard one restaurant patron compare Ocean City to Africa and was "waiting for a zebra to cross Coastal Highway."
Well, this weather has produced some strong waves and currents.
Okay, not exactly Hawaii 5-0 waves, but enough to knock you for a loop and keep the Ocean City Beach Patrol on alert.
The lifeguards at 139th Street did far more than sit in their chairs and attract teenage girls.
I witnessed three rescues in less than an hour!
3 rescues—all by the same lifeguard!
This is Justyn, here, after bringing his third person to safety.
Justyn (with a "Y" ) at 139th Beach fearlessly braved the waves to bring in a gentleman that was floundering. Once closer, the rescued man was able to walk out of the water—exhausted and thankful. Little time passed before Justyn was called to duty again to bring in another swimmer in distress. Justyn returned to an applauding crowd. Then, again he was off to rescue a child.
I was tired just watching!
Kudos to the Ocean City Beach Patrol!
Even when Justyn was swimming, another lifeguard was present to keep watch and to help with the rescue.
Patrick King of the OCBP was there to assist. I watched as he ran into the surf as well for what could have been yet another rescue.
Patrick King of the Ocean City Beach Patrol at 139th Street.
After the rescues, the lifeguards communicated with fellow guards using semaphore, which is a series of flags representing the alphabet.
After swimming in heavy surf, was he signaling about a safe rescue or that he needs a day off?
While I am always vigilant at the beach, it's comforting to know that the members of the Ocean City Beach Patrol are trained and ready should I need them. Ocean City, MD has some great waves--fortunately, not quite like these everyday. For more on their training, history, and beach safety tips, you can visit their website-- Ocean City Beach Patrol. They even have a link showing the semaphore alphabet—maybe you can figure out the lifeguard's messages!

Time for the Chincoteague Pony Swim
- Details
- Written by Shannon Valentine on Tuesday, July 24th 2012
It's that time of the year for the 87th Annual Pony Swim and Auction. Over 40,000 people visit the small, serene town of Chincoteague for this special event.
Beautiful picture from the 2011 Chincoteague Pony Swim courtesy of Equine Ink.
Read some commentary about the wild ponies at www.EquineInk.com.
The "Saltwater Cowboys", many of whom are volunteer firefighters swim the ponies across the channel from the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge on Assateague Island to Chincoteague Island. The Pony Swim & Auction keeps the wild pony population in check and acts as a fundraiser for the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company.
Spectators gather early to catch a glimpse of this world famous event. The swim occurs during "slack tide" which is a short period between tides. This should occur between 8:30 a.m.– 9:30 a.m. After the swim, the ponies take a brief rest and then participate in a "parade of ponies", as they make their way to the carnival grounds. The carnival will open that evening at 7:00 p.m.

For the most current information regarding event schedules, parking, shuttle buses, etc., please visit the Chincoteague Chamber of Commerce website. To learn more about Chincoteague, VA, the history of the Pony Swim, photos, and even a live Web Cam, you can check out Chincoteague.com. They also provide a guide for the Pony Swim & Auction that is especially helpful for the newcomer.
Since Shore Thing Vacation Rentals is relatively new to the Virginia area, we do not have accommodations available during this event. Our Chincoteague vacation rentals by owner are already booked! However, we do have a variety of vacation rentals in both Maryland and Virginia for August and September of 2012. Autumn is a lovely time for the Eastern Shore. You may also look into vacation preparations for next year as well.
If you have had the pleasure of experiencing the Pony Swim & Auction, please share your story!
Spend Easter at the Jersey Shore
- Details
- Written by Shore Thing Vacation Rentals on Thursday, March 29th 2012
Spring has sprung!
I'm saying goodbye to Winter, albeit a wimpy one, and saying a big Hello to Spring! There's no better place to celebrate Easter than the Jersey Shore. Not the MTV show, not "the Situation" hiding Easter eggs; I'm sure the cast of the Jersey Shore would put a whole new spin on an Easter Egg Hunt.
No, I'm talking about the Easter Day Promenade on Ocean City's Boardwalk. Patent leather shoes, fancy dresses, and of course, Easter bonnets. Bonnet? Does anyone say that anymore? OK, let's go with hats. The kids can strut their stuff and see the Easter Bunny too. Even pets can strut in the Woofin Paws Fashion Show.
Where else can you get a picture with the Easter Bunny in a lifeguard stand? Check out all of the Easter events: http://www.oceancitychamber.com
Or, how about Easter in Wildwood? You won't have to hunt for an Easter Egg Hunt—
there are several hunts on the Wildwood beach and the boards. http://www.wildwoodsnj.com
Are the kids too old to search for eggs? Then Wildwood is the place to be.
Easter Sunday marks opening day for Morey's Pier.
Rides, entertainment, food and fun!

A few weeks ago, I received a phone call from a new neighbor of mine that wanted to see if I was interested in purchasing some antique spectacles. He told me that they had belonged to his great-great grandmother. He was referred to me by a friend of mine that told him that I had an antique store in town. I told him that there wasn't much of a market for antique spectacles in this area, and that he would have to go to a larger market to get their true value. I gave him the names of a few websites that he could check out to find out more about them, and I said that I would ask my friends that own antique stores to see if they would be interested in purchasing them. That was the extent of our conversation.
Last Friday, as I headed out of town on my way to do a story in Cameron, NC, I passed by my neighbor's house, and there I saw his family hosting a yard sale on their front lawn! I pulled over and asked if he was home. His daughter ran inside the house to get him. A few minutes later, he came walking out of the house carrying a very unusual looking jewelry box. He walked up to my car, and took off the lid to the box. Inside was the most amazing assortment of antique spectacles that I had ever seen in one place!
I was hesitant to reach inside the box to pick them up, so I asked him to place them one at a time into the palm of my hand. Since I was on my way to do a story, I had my camera in the car. As he placed each pair of spectacles in my hand, I took a picture of them using my other hand. I must say that I have never staged a camera shoot like that before! It was a chance encounter, and I had to make the best of it.
The photo gallery with this story will show you the amazing articles that my neighbor wanted to show me. They range in age from the 1700's up to the early 20th century. The event reminded me once again that on any given day, you truly never know what will happen next! Isn't life great? Who knew that my new neighbor would have such a wonderful collection of antique eyeware. I asked him if he really wanted to sell them since they had been handed down in the family. He assured me that he did want to sell them. So, if you are a collector of antique spectacles, or Civil War era items, please send me a note if you are interested in them. Thanks for your help!

"Real Housewives of New York" star Carole Radziwill told Heather Thomson that her break-up with Russ Irwin was messy and that they did not part as friends.
Russ Irwin told Radar Online that "RHONY" Carole Radziwill wanted to date other people and he wanted to settle down in an interview published on March 13. Irwin says he told Carole he wanted to get married, settle down and have a family with her. According to Russ, Carole told him she never wanted to get married again.
Radziwill and Irwin dated on and off for three years, but the author of "The Widow's Guide to Sex and Dating" wasn't interested in a committed relationship, rather she wanted to date other people. Radziwill's husband Anthony succumbed to cancer in 1997 just weeks after his cousin John F. Kennedy, Jr. tragic death. Anthony's mother was Lee Bouvier Radziwill, the sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
In the interview Russ Irwin said that the couple had a special bond and he was sad when they broke up. Ultimately Carole wanted her independence and did not want to be tied down or answer to anyone every day. He believes that Radziwill was afraid to get close to anyone because she did not want to get again.
Contrary to Radziwill's description of their break-up, Irwin says that he and Carole have remained cordial. "I support her and care about her very much. I wish her nothing but the best," he said.

Anime and Cosplay in Canada
Anime Evolution is happening this weekend, June 12 – 14 in Vancouver! Their website tells us: "The three-day convention is expected to draw close to 5,000 people and brings together art, animation (anime), comic books (manga), video games, film and music in a celebration of Asian popular culture and multimedia."
Events include, of course, a cosplay contest, an Anime idol singing contest and a dance contest called "Anime's Best Dance Crew" and certainly the judges would be appreciative of a nice cosplay costume as well.
For this competition, crews of four or more members perform to music from an anime or video game series. The dances should reflect the series the music is from. The crews get to make their own flags or banners to identify themselves, too. And then, an exciting twist—an additional theme will be presented before the start of the contest, for example, you might be asked to use a certain prop in your dance, or you might be told to include a certain dance style in your performance. It's a three-round competition, so for the first two rounds, the crews will dance to songs they've pre-selected. But the final round pit the two best crews against each other in a dance battle to randomly selected music. Sounds exciting!
The winner will be determined afterwards and they'll also be asked to perform at the closing ceremonies.
The con's full schedule is online now, but if you can't make it, but still want to keep up what's happening or get ready for next year, they have Facebook group, a MySpace group and a channel on YouTube.
So if you're in or near the Pacific Northwest, have an awesome costume, and are ready for some Cosplay, drop in and see what's happening at Anime Evolution 2009.

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Container Gardening & Ponds
Choose the Right Planters
by National Gardening Association Editors
This glazed ceramic pot is lovely, but also heavy and breakable.
Container gardening is one of the hottest trends, and the selection of planters continues to grow. You've fallen in love with that glazed blue ceramic pot, but are there elements besides aesthetics you should keep in mind?
First of all, just about anything that can hold soil can serve as a planter. You've seen flowers growing in barrels and buckets, but how about bathtubs, old work boots, or wheelbarrows? The only necessity is that the container has drainage holes so water doesn't collect and damage roots — and there are even ways around that. But if plants growing in old shoes isn't your style, consider the following when shopping for containers.
Bigger Isn't Always Better
This faux clay pot was planted for Memorial Day.
To decide what size container you want, consider how you'll use it. Will you be hanging it? Will you need to move it once in a while? What plants are you growing? How often are you willing to water it?
- In general, hanging planters should be lightweight, and that usually means
they need to relatively small. Remember, the heavier the pot, the sturdier
the hook, chain, or other hanger you'll need.
- Even if your pot will remain earth-bound, consider whether its location
is permanent or if you'll need to move it. Large containers filled with moist
soil can be very heavy.
- Different plants require different amounts of soil. Small annuals like
alyssum and lobelia have compact root systems; tomato plants and patio trees
need more space.
- Small containers dry out more quickly than larger ones and may need watering twice daily in hot, sunny weather.

Middle school students explore engineering concepts at Penn State Fayette
12/4/2007 —Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus played host to some 140 middle school students from across the area Dec. 3 for its 12th Annual E-Days event. First-year Penn State Fayette engineering students, under the direction of Professor Nate Bohna, developed a variety of hands-on activities for the middle school students to try out under the theme "Structuring Your Future."
"This event just gets better every year. For our college students, it is their first team project in Engineering Design—an opportunity to build something new on their own time with very few constraints," said Professor Bohna. He also noted that after the middle school students left, the college students took some extra time to try each others' projects. "I think they learned as much as their guests did!" said Bohna.
Associate Professor of Engineering Dave Meredith said the event is geared to generate interest in engineering among the youngsters. "The middle school students get a great hands-on experience with a lot of variety. Our hope is that through experiences like this, these students will consider careers related to math and science. I was especially glad to see more females willing to jump into the activities. We always need more females in engineering." said Meredith.
Some of the activities and engineering principles that were explored included building balloon towers to learn about stability, Rockwell Hardness Testing to learn about the strength of various materials, Popsicle stick bridge building to learn about weight-bearing structures, and Lincoln Log tower building to learn about earthquake strength. They also learned that four egg shells are strong enough to support a 12 inch high stack of textbooks before crushing. For fun—and learning—was the popular "cooking" of mini marshmallows in liquid nitrogen (at 250-degrees below zero Fahrenheit) and the Van der Graff generator.
Groups of students also participated in a number of on- and off-site tours, including the Coal & Coke Heritage Center, the computer lab, BAE Systems, and the Coolspring Stone Quarry.
Participating schools were: Brownsville Area Middle School, Connellsville West Junior High, Laurel Highlands Junior High, St. John the Evangelist School, and Uniontown's three middle schools, A.J. McMullen, Benjamin Franklin and Lafayette.
From St. John the Evangelist, student Emma Simon (left) builds Lincoln Log towers to learn about earthquake stability, as (continuing from left) fellow 7th and 8th grade students Ariel Garofalo, Santo Piccolomini, Kevin Richardson and Mason Tressler look on.
Sixth-grade students Amy Cherban (left) and Miele Diggs, from Brownsville Area Middle School, construct a Popsicle stick bridge to learn how some structures can bear more weight than others.
To learn about teamwork and stability, Laurel Highlands Middle School students Alex Jester (left) and Kris Sabatini build a balloon tower.
Elizabeth Cooper, from Laurel Highlands Middle School, learns about static electricity as she grasps the Van der Graff generator, while classmates Jesse Laverdiere (center) and Maria Sharpe look on.
Penn State Fayette engineering student Shauna Couch conducts the Rockwell Hardness Test on a variety of objects to demonstrate how some materials are harder or softer than others.

Science Daily for March 1, 2011 reports that researchers at Emory University have predicted that as this century progresses more and more men will be afflicted with psychological depression (this on top of the economic depression and woes with which the capitalist system will be afflicting all humans in the coming years).
Why are men about to fall victim to this affliction? Dr. Boadie Dunlop is quoted from the March issue of the British Journal of Psychiatry: "Compared to women," he writes, "many men attach a great importance to their roles as providers and protectors of their families. Failure to fulfill the role of breadwinner is associated with greater depression and marital conflict" (my emphasis -tr).
But surely we are beyond teaching boys and young men that their futures in this new century involve their being protectors and breadwinners? Women too play these roles and if men, "compared to women" think these roles are of "great importance" that is due to a rotten educational system as well as retrograde religious attitudes that downgrade the importance and person hood of women as compared to men.
According to Science Daily, since 2007 about 75 percent of the U.S. jobs lost have been those of men. Women have to become the "breadwinners" and, up from 4 percent in 1970, 22 percent of working women make more than their husbands. "Unfortunately," the magazine writes, "there is little reason for anyone to believe that traditional male jobs will return in significant numbers with economic recovery." The whole concept of "traditionally male jobs" is wrong headed. It stems from a time when women were not allowed full participation in civil society.
The article continues, "Additionally, biological and sociological differences in men and women may make it harder for men to fit into the role of primary care provider to young children than most women."
Outside of nursing infants there are no biological differences in men that should make it difficult for them to act as primary care providers. As for "sociological differences"- these are the results of educational and economic conditions imposed upon us by society.
Dr. Dunlop seems to be aware of this as he says, "Men in the changing economy will face the same risks for depression that women faced in older economies: trapped in a family role from which they cannot escape because of an inability to find employment." He means inability to find employment in "traditionally male jobs."
The magazine also points out that depression regarding one's life circumstances is traditionally twice as great among women as among men, but that this may be about to change due to the new economic realities.
According to Dr. Dunlop, "The changing socioeconomic positions of the West could lead to prevalence in the rates of depression in men increasing, while rates in women decrease. Practitioners need to be aware of these forces of life, and be prepared to explore with their patients the meaning of these changes and interventions that might be helpful."
But as long as we have a capitalist economic system and an educational system based on patriarchal values, practitioners will have to gear themselves up to force human beings to accept and fit into the world that the capitalists create.
But both men and women have another model of society for which they could strive. The socialist model is not only possible but is necessary in order for males and females to live a fulfilling and normal life without "depression" due to not living up to defunct role models.
Let me end with a quote from Simone De Beauvoir's great classic The Second Sex:
A world where men and women would be equal is easy to imagine because it is exactly the one the Soviet revolution promised: women raised and educated exactly like men would work under the same conditions and for the same salaries ... marriage would be based on a free engagement that the spouses could break when they wanted to ... birth control and abortion would be allowed ... maternity leave would be paid for by the society that would have responsibility for the children, which does not mean that they would be taken from their parents but that they would not be abandoned to them.
That the Soviet Union failed to completely create and sustain this world does that mean that other men and women in our time should not struggle to bring it about.

Ubuntu and GlassFish
By draks on Apr 19, 2007
Ubuntu, the wildly popular Linux distro has announced their latest release (v7.04 "Feisty Fawn") and it now includes Java SE, GlassFish (Java EE), Java DB and NetBeans. For the first time developers do not have to go navigate to 5 different Web sites, find an implementation that kind of works, download it, fix it and then use it. Now, these distros are all available as optimized images for install with Ubuntu in one place. This, of course, makes it much easier for Ubuntu users to get what they want easily and in one place. Why did this take so long? Well, my only answer to this is that, these things take time and removing software licensing encumberances and developing entirely new packageing takes A LOT more time. I've been close to this project for 4 months and, what seems from the world out side Sun as a simple task, became a full time job for a number of dedicated engineers. On the Sun Ubuntu Page there are links to Ubuntu, the projects, how they are supported and other useful links. The latest version of Ubuntu is here.
And,now that Michael Dell uses Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, even he can get access to Java and tools easily!

Bray Wyatt is currently involved in a big feud with Chris Jericho in the WWE right now. This would be Wyatt's third high profile feud in a row, following Daniel Bryan and John Cena. According to 411mania on Friday, it sounds like the WWE already has Wyatt's next rival planned out already and that looks to be Sheamus.
The way that the WWE handles their major feuds is to have the wrestlers work together on non-televised house shows leading up to and during the feud to work on their timing and plan out any spots they plan to use on televised and pay-per-view matches. An example is that Bray Wyatt and John Cena fought extensively on the house show circuit despite the WWE never letting television audiences know that they wrestled.
This allowed Cena and Wyatt to be prepared for the three pay-per-view matches they had, starting with "Wrestlemania 30." Bray Wyatt and Chris Jericho have done the same over the past month as they prepare for their third meeting in a row on a pay-per-view at September's "Night of Champions." However, that is Jericho's final night with the WWE before he goes on tour with his hand Fozzy once again. After that, Wyatt needs new competition.
There are a number of WWE live events scheduled after "Night of Champions" that are advertising Bray Wyatt fighting Sheamus. This makes it sound like the next feud for Wyatt after that pay-per-view will be against the United States Champion. There is a chance Sheamus is not the champion anymore after that, because all the titles are supposed to be on the line at that pay-per-view, but it looks like Bray Wyatt may be getting a shot at a major WWE title once he is finished with his feud with Chris Jericho.

Remember, Wilder started boxing very late, at age 21. Seen through that frame, his progress is truly impressive. (Hogan)
Casually bring up undefeated heavyweight prospect and 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Deontay Wilder in your favorite boxing discussion forum, and you're sure to elicit one of two responses.
For some, he invokes all the gloriousness of America's brilliant heavyweight history. He's yesterday's heavyweight hero, today. He's the victorious amateur competitor who represented his country well on the world's grandest stage, and he's a surefire lock to be the next great heavyweight.
For others, he's everything wrong with the sport of boxing. He's too protected. He takes things too slow. He's a carefully managed prop whose handlers are making the most of his Olympic fame until it's time to cash out.
The 6'7" heavyweight prodigy from Alabama, whose much ballyhooed Olympic exploits came only three years after he first stepped into a boxing gym, is well aware of all that, too.
"Everybody has their own opinion," the gregarious contender told me by phone earlier this week. "When you go with the good, you've got to go with the bad. I don't really take any of it personal."
It's easy to see what people like about him as a fighter. Wilder has a pristine record. From a statistical point of view, you really can't ask for anything more. He's had twenty-five fights in his four-year professional career thus far, and he's won every single one of them by knockout.
Still, his opposition has been less than stellar thus far, so fight fans have become increasingly anxious to see him fight against more worthy competition.
When I first talked to Wilder's manager, Jay Deas, over a year and a half ago, he told me he and co-manager, Shelly Finkel were doing everything in their power to get their fighter as many rounds as possible. Deas told me his fighter's total ring time up to that point, including his thirty or so amateur fights, had actually totaled only about four hours.
"I'm still trying to get him rounds!" Deas told me again this week. "He just got back today from Audley Harrison's camp for the David Price fight."
Yep, from the very beginning, Deas told me the idea was to take their time with Wilder's progression. Slow and steady wins the race. While Wilder enjoyed brilliant success in his brief amateur career, he wasn't necessarily as far along as your typical boxing prospect, someone who traditionally starts boxing at a very young age.
"Lot of people criticized me back then, too," Wilder recalled. "They said I was too late. They said I was too green. I'm always playing catch-up! I was in there fighting guys that started when they were five and six years old, and here I am, a guy that started when he was twenty-one."
Wilder believes in himself. You can hear it in his voice. He did back then, too, when he became perhaps the most inexperienced boxer to ever medal in the Olympic Games before, and he does so now that he's set on becoming heavyweight champion of the world.
"I believe through hard work, anything is possible," he said. "Just like my professional career now, I was hungry back then. I had a big heart. That's the one you can't measure - a guy's heart. You can't measure the intensity he has, the drive and the hunger."
He said the last part emphatically.
"When I set my mind to something, there is nothing that is going to get in the way of what I've got to do."
Say what you want about his level of opposition, he's knocked out every single one of them and that's no easy feat. We see it all the time in boxing: some palooka no one has ever heard of goes the distance with a world class fighter.
While we don't know if Wilder is a world class fighter yet, we do know that no one has even come close to going the distance with him.
Wilder said the knockout streak isn't really something he worries about. He knows it's there in the back of his mind, but it doesn't dictate what he tries to get done.
"I just go in there and basically just try to work on what I have been working on in the gym," he said. "I try to be perfect in there, because we train for perfection."
His record is perfect so far, but he's not quite perfect as a fighter. Like any young prizefighter with limited experience, Wilder has some flaws. He tends to leave his power hand out in front of him too long after delivering a punch, and he's yet to put together the type of consistent jab that, with his size and quickness, would help make him closer to invincible.
Deas and company have him on the right track, though. If you watch Wilder's progression, you can see definite and consistent improvement in his footwork and movement as he's moved through the ranks. Moreover, he's gone from being borderline wild to increasingly patient. And, there's the power, of course, which is the one thing you just have to be born with.
"I keep telling everybody, I still don't know the measurement of my power," he told me. "It kind of scares me. Even sparring at some of these camps, I've licked some of these guys up pretty good and they tell me the same, you know."
Wilder has been in camp with some of the very best heavyweights in the world, guys like David Haye and Tomasz Adamek, so if that's indeed the case then it bodes quite well for his future in the division.
But fight fans are ready to see something now, not later.
When I talked to Deas this week, he told me he was excited about an upcoming opportunity he believed Wilder was about to have to with Showtime in December. Sure enough, reports have recently surfaced that Wilder will be the showcase fighter for Showtime's December 15th date. Deas says when he saw Wilder's promoter, Golden Boy Promotions, sign a promotional deal earlier this year with six of the 2012 men's U.S. Olympic team members, he immediately thought it'd be a great idea to have Deontay as the headliner for some of their early cards. After all, he told me, Wilder remains the last man to actually medal at the Olympics.
It appears that will come to pass now, and Wilder couldn't be more excited about the opportunity to show his skills to a larger audience. While he's been featured on ESPN's Friday Night Fights as well as some Fox Sports shows, this will be his first appearance on a major boxing network's broadcast and could help position him as one of Golden Boy Promotions' premier fighters.
"Everybody gets an opportunity to really prove themselves, and I feel like my opportunity is just around the corner," Wilder said.
An opponent hasn't been announced yet, but Deas mentioned a level of competition fight fans could really get excited about. He said he wants Wilder in there with someone who can make him work, and that they've tried that in the past but Wilder has just knocked everyone out so it's time to up the ante.
Wilder says he's ready.
If you follow him on twitter, you know he's vocal about who he wants to fight (everyone) and how he believes he will beat any fighter he faces. He's even mentioned the Klitschko brothers as possible competition despite never even having faced someone ranked in the top ten.
This last week, he got into a heated twitter battle with another American heavyweight prospect, Bryant Jennings. Wilder told me he'd be glad to fight Jennings, but that he has to let his management team do their job. Still, he understands the mentality of fight fans who might not understand why the fight wasn't made.
"Fans just want to see the fight," he said. "They don't care if it's for one dollar – they just want the fight. I know that."
I asked him specifically about the dust-up with Jennings. While their back and forth was heated at times, it also seemed good natured in a way, like some sort of verbal sparring competition.
"I have nothing personal against the guy," he told me. "I wish him well. I'm sure he feels the same way."
Wilder told me that he likes to come back at people just as strong as they come at him whether their fighters or fans. He's competitive that way. It's all good natured though, and he wishes them well at the end of it.
All in all, maybe the best thing about Wilder is something you can really only get a sense of when interacting with him. It's not really identifiable in YouTube clips of his knockout wins, and I've yet to really read about it anywhere else either. He simply has a tremendous attitude. He absolutely beams with excitement about his life as a fighter, and he genuinely seems to look forward to accomplishing his goals no matter how long it takes him.
"I think about it all the time," he told me when I asked him about working to become heavyweight champion of the world. "I can't wait. I can't wait for my opportunity."
Wilder said he was being patient. He said whoever takes over for the Klitschko brothers will have to be special, and he believes he can be that guy. We ended our conversation looking ahead to what he hopes to be his future, and why maybe everyone might someday be wild about Deontay Wilder.
"I want to be the one that takes both of the [Klitschko] brothers out of this game," he said, at once both brash and affable. "When I beat them, I want them to be happy they are out of the game they've been holding down the whole time, and I want them to say 'Deontay Wilder took us out, and we wouldn't be more proud of anyone to hold our titles while we are retired and gone than him'".
The jury is still out. And they are leaning toward NYET! Holla!
he is the future of the hw division but what kind of future will he be? will he be like that english gold medal bum? will he still be fighting butterbean type guys? will he ever be matched against a live full time boxer or just cans and such? he shouldnt be so protected and he should be flying all over the country sparring killers and learn his craft the proper way. who knows what will happen but it would be nice if he can put the hard work in ,take some beatings in some gym wars and give american at least one hw champ . he needs adversity in training so when he does fight a guy that actually wants to win he wont be overcome. I nominate him to come to gleasons and get in with big truck wayne braithwaite for a few weeks.
I like it that Wilder has taken his time,... It's Better than watching Seth Mitchell nearly get caught up in his own hype and barely survive a KO loss against the lite hitting Witherspoon.
In that regard I think Wilder is the more natural boxer, not having to change his muscle memory from one sport to another in his middle twenties.
Now is the time for some incremental increases in the class of his opponents to find out where he truely stands.
There are many Journeymen and young contenders who can take him into deep waters.
Over-management can be as harmful as throwing a young fighter to the lions.
But I feel Wilder believes in himself and is ready to be tested.
2013 will be a crucial year for Wilder, especially if he can get past the upper hierarchy of the heavyweight division, If he's successful, he's a sure shot to get a piece of the heavyweight title.
It's time for his management team and promoters to believe in him and take him off the short leash.
I say to test Wilder against the Cali Crusher Cris Arreola. And Wilder will be thought of as being milder. Dude is more hype than fight. Sorry? But too often, I've seen this sight. Holla!
Wilder needs to step up the comp level and get on TV already. I can be open minded. Maybe he is just late to the sport and is learning as he goes ala JCC Jr. Would Wilder KO a fighter like Witherspoon? Like him or not at least Mitchell took his step up B-Sug. I hope we see Wilder on HBO soon in a step up fight. Arreola might be too big a step forward right now Radam. A fight with Jennings seems just right. Jennings is more of a test than Whitherspoon but less dangerous than Arreola. I hope Wilder can fight. Boxing always needs new stars. Heavyweight is starving for a new star. Step up Wilder!!
I'm as closed minded as dat chick, who wouldn't open up her legs and give me a peep, back in da day. Now every time that I get near the bed, those legs fly open. Hehehehe! I'm da MAN!
For a heavy, the Roast, Wilder didn't start late. About 70 percent of the ATG heavyweights started so-alleged late. That list includes Rocky Marciano, Jack Dempsey and Sonny Liston, to name a few. For the record, I can name a ton of heavies who stepped up within two years of professional fighting after starting in the amateurs at 18 to 22 years old. Heavyweights are different types of monsters. An iota of these heavies didn't even have much of an amateur career. A couple didn't have one, PERIOD!
The game reveals a man [and nowadays a woman too] like no other sports will, so Jim Lampley has said. Dude is SPOT on. Even stiffs, back in da day, like Jess Willard and Primo Canera step UP. So what in da double fudge is wrong with Milder -- I mean Childer? OMFG! I mean Wilder! [Hahaha!] He ain't near as good as the hype or just maybe he needs to discover that he has some XX cojones. Holla!
I would throw Wilder in there with Adamek I think be tough test for him but I think its one he would pass.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

CMJ Music Marathon Preview: The 12 Best Bands
With some 1,200 bands on tap, it's impossible to see more than a small percentage of talent that's been booked for this week's annual CMJ Music Marathon in New York City. Many choices must be made between Tuesday, October 19, through the wee hours of Sunday morning, October 24.
CMJ is ruled by indie rock in all its permutations and urban music, the former by a wide margin. Electronic dance music is well represented and there's a smattering of rootsy Americana. But soul, R&B and blues acts comprise only a depressingly small part of the presented styles. Even with its limited parameters, it's still all too much music. By Sunday before dawn, the bleary eyed, exhausted from schlepping among seemingly countless clubs mostly on Manhattan's Lower East Side and in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, will have forgotten some of what's been seen –- and may have witnessed something they'll remember forever: Before they broke big, the Arcade Fire, Black Eyes Peas, Feist, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, R.E.M., Run-DMC, U2 and the White Stripes played the marathon.
Here are Speakeasy's recommendations for CMJ '10: twelve bands – about one percent of the acts on hand – worthy of attention. Here's the full CMJ schedule.
Based in Paris, The Aikiu makes clean, tight dance music with English-language vocals that recall Bryan Ferry. His recorded output is slight – though his "Just Can't Sleep" single is undeniably catchy – so his visit to New York is an opportunity to show what he's got and whether he deliver it can onstage.
Apache Beat is a Brooklyn-based band –- it seems you can say that about half the American acts playing CMJ -– whose new album "Last Chants" is a compelling set of of-the-moment guitar-driven modern rock with whirring synths at the midsection and animated percussion for propulsion. When the three vocalists sing in unison, the promise they showed at CMJ '09 becomes fact.
On Tuesday, Bad Books releases its anticipated self-titled debut album. It's anticipated because Bad Books features Kevin Devine and the Manchester Orchestra's Andy Hull, both talented singers and pop songwriters, and the power-pop tracks the band posted on its MySpace and Facebook pages sound terrific.
From Milan, Italy, Calibro 35 plays brassy jazz and funk inspired by soundtracks to Italian crime cinema of the '70s. The quintet's '10 release "Ritornano Quelli Di…" is a collection of retro music that's a little bit cheesy but served with spirit as well as technical competency, and it should be a blast in a live setting.
Freedom or Death, a Toronto-based duo, express warmth whether they're playing quiet folk guitars or electronic music under their engaging vocals. CMJ marks their first appearance in the States; since they're unsigned, they're likely in search of label to help distribute and promote their music, which is mature and thoroughly satisfying. Wise is the executive who signs and nurtures them.
Born in New Zealand and now based in London, James Milne is young music-industry veteran whose experience shows in his work under the name Lawrence Arabia. His clever '10 album, "Chant Darling" brings to mind the music of Crowded House. He'll reward their followers as well as anyone who delights in sophisticated pop.
On their very fine '10 album "Martian's Bloom," Linfinity sounds like the offspring of David Byrne and the Band: The New York quintet's songs are compact yet anthematic, and they spice up their arrangements with violins and inventive percussion under Dylan Von Wagner's expressive vocals. When the spirits moves them, they can boogie too.
Oberhofer is fronted by Brad Oberhofer, who's barely out of his teens but nonetheless has a fine instinct for a pop hook, as evidenced by the single "Awy Frm U." Originally from Tacoma and now based in Brooklyn, his music unfurls with controlled abandon and his relatively new band should bring added life and color to his music. They're unsigned so their appearances ought to present them at their best.
The Prigs feature guitarist Mark Price, who played with Kaki King, and Berklee alum bassist Bill Flynn and saxophonist Evan Smith, who are in Annie Clark's St. Vincent. But don't expert knotty guitar tunes or high-brow chamber pop: The Brooklyn-based band, whose many members overflow a small club's stage, play party music a la the Pogues as a fiddle and horns give life to the deceptively well-honed arrangements.
School of Seven Bells brings an unexpected bit of mystery and suspense to CMJ. Once a trio, the group is now down to two members: Claudia Deheza quit the band suddenly earlier this month, leaving behind her twin sister Alejandra and Ben Curtis, formerly of Secret Machines. Soldiering on, the duo from New York will attempt to recreate the cool, dispassionate vocals above the driving electronic maelstrom that makes their new album, "Disconnect from Desire" so appealing. But the Deheza sisters' harmonies are the music's best trait, so what happens now?
Tristen has yet to release her debut album – it will out in February – but the Nashville by way of Chicago musician demonstrates her vocal prowess and songwriting chops on the EP "Charlatans at the Garden Gate." She brings a blossoming pop sensibility to her witty, not-as-sweet-as-it-seems country.
From Newport Beach, California, Young the Giant draws on its European and Middle Eastern ethnic roots to enrich its vivid, vibrant rock. They're at CMJ in anticipation of next week's release of their superb self-titled debut album that rings with unexpected arrangements and tasty vocal harmonies.

LORAIN – Police are investigating the cause of injuries to a 4-year-old boy who was taken Friday to Mercy Regional Medical Center.
The boy had a broken arm, scratches on his neck and bruises on his spine, according to police Officer James Connell's report.
The 27-year-old city man baby-sitting the 4-year-old and the boy's 2-year-old brother for his girlfriend said the scratches may have come from when he had trouble removing the boy's shirt. He said the boy woke up sweaty after a nap. Connell wrote that the spine bruises appeared to be older than the other injuries.
The man told Connell the arm injury occurred after he picked up the boy by the arm to check if he had gone to the bathroom in his pants and heard a popping sound. He said the boy was sitting cross legged watching television when he picked him up.
The boy suffers from mental retardation and requires a feeding tube, the boy's mother said. She was working while her boyfriend baby sat.
The mother said she trusts her boyfriend who has been babysitting the boys since moving in with her in March and believes her son's injuries were accidental. Connell wrote that he notified Children Services worker Cathy Isner who met with the couple.
Isner determined the boy would stay at the hospital overnight and his brother would spend the night with his uncle. The report was referred to the prosecutor's office. Patti-Jo Burtnett, Lorain County Children Services spokeswoman, didn't return a call for comment Sunday.

Did you know May is known as Older Americans Month? It's true! May 25, 2011 celebrates the 18th annual National
Senior Health & Fitness Day. The goal of this annual event is to help keep older Americans healthy and fit. This
year's theme is "Make Fitness a Goal for Life."As a registered dietitian, I defer specific questions on fitness/exercise
guidelines to qualified exercise professionals & trainers. However, for guidelines on eating well throughout our
lifetime and as we age, here are a few things to consider:
• Stay well hydrated! As we age, our thirst mechanism can decrease, causing us to feel less thirsty and
therefore drinking less often. Keep a water bottle with you and try to consume 64 oz of total fluids per day.
• Choose high quality proteins. As we age we tend to lose muscle mass, so in addition to staying active, we
also need to eat protein to help preserve our muscle mass. Create well-balanced meals which include
protein foods such as low-fat dairy foods, Greek yogurt, lean meats (beef, pork, chicken & turkey), fish, eggs,
nuts and beans/legumes.
• Increase fruits & veggies, herbs & spices, as well as Omega-3 fatty acids. Planning adequate amounts of
healthy fats, lean proteins and high fiber carbohydrates/whole grains can help us stay healthy. The following
foods & examples below have also been shown to help decrease inflammation in our bodies:
1. Fruits & Vegetables – the more colorful and more variety, the better. These foods are rich in antioxidants
and phytochemicals which have a protective affect on our bodies. Refer to a unique salad recipe below
for one way to introduce more produce into your diet!
2. Omega 3 Fatty Acids – salmon and fatty fish, avocados, canola oil, walnuts, and flaxseed are some of
the most commonly eaten foods which contain these heart healthy fats.
3. Spices – ginger, garlic, rosemary, turmeric, oregano, cayenne, clove, nutmeg, etc. Spices are a great
way to add flavor to your food without adding salt or extra calories.
4. Dark Chocolate – dark chocolate is high in antioxidants and also contains fiber. A dark chocolate
Hershey's Kiss is only ~26 calories, so enjoy this treat in moderation!
5. Salicylic Acid – Foods high in salicylic acid include: berries, grapes, broccoli, spinach, chili peppers,
cinnamon, ginger, rosemary, nutmeg, sage, basil.
6. Olive Oil – healthy source high in unsaturated fats, but if used in cooking, keep temperature below 325°F
(smoke point) to keep the greatest nutrient benefits and prevent flavor breakdown.

get tips to help prevent cancer and/or recurrence on the American Institute for Cancer Research website:
Happy Senior Day and Happy Eating!

In my case, I have no graphics card issues in the Admin logs and it seems to be rather random. I can play Sims 3 for hours with no problem at all. It's shut down after only 5 minutes of game play and it's shut down after an hour of game play, sometimes after a few hours. It shuts down while in build mode, it shuts down during play, and it's even shut down in neighborhood view while I'm doing nothing in particular. Twice it's shut down while I was away from the computer. There doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason, the logs tell me the shut down was unexpected. Well, duh. Unfortunately, none of the logs of the events tell me what the source of the problem is. The fan works fine, no overheating detected by feeling about the tower. 5 GB of RAM, all system requirements exceeded, my computer is about a year old.
All that under consideration, I have to assume that this is Sims 3 related, not hardware related. Whether it's a design flaw who knows, but I do know this is the only software my computer seems to take issue with. I run 3D programs on this system daily, what's the beef?

This frequent adjustment gets to be too much for the card and, yes, it overheats

This drink was not created in new orleans, despite the name. Infact, it is a very new drink. Here is an early printing:
Mr. Boston Official Bartender's Guide - Page 46 by Anthony Giglio, Mr. Boston, Ben Fink in 2008
"FRENCH QUARTER 21/2 oz. Brandy 3/4 oz. Lillet Blanc"
Technically, this drinks name already exist as several other names. The ingredients are simple and french which is deceptively brilliant in deceiving the drinker into beliveing this drink is a classic. The drink is very new and it is unclear where the drink derives, certainly not New Orleans.
One website claims robert hess created this drink in 2004 at:
It is possible that he did create this cocktail given there is no literature proving otherwise. Of course, this does not mean that it is certain. Regardless, this is a wonderful cocktail and should be enjoyed as if it were age old.
This drink dates between 2004 - 2007 and contained at least as of then:
Stir these ingredients:
Brandy (Undetermined)
Lillet Blanc
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Every time we've eaten a Tootsie Pop, we've tried to count our licks but given up around thirty or so after finding ourselves already biting into the sweet treat. Sooo...we have more self control than a certain owl we know, but probably less than the average ten-year-old. We're not sure what that says about us and our need for candy!

An azure-winged magpie perched preening on a pomegranate tree. Painted on silk with ink and pigments. The colorful fruits of the pomegranate and birds feather make for decorative composition. In Japan, bird and flower painting began painted during Heian period (794-1185) influenced by Chinese Northern Song Paintings. It became more popular in Momoyama period when Shogun decorated their castles with splendid paintings. The Japanese painters learnt the Ming and Qin Dynasty bird and flower paintings and produced paintings by sketching from nature with adding decorative effect. Bird and flower paintings were also very popular with the literati and the merchant class in the Edo period. The painting is signed Chikuto and sealed. Nakabayashi Chikuto (1776-1853) was a Japanese Nan-ga (Southern literati) painter active during late Edo period. He was born in a doctors family. He first studied painting under Yamada Kyujo and later developed his skills under the patronage of a wealthy merchant Kamiya Tenyu by copying the paintings he had collected. He then came up to Kyoto and became a leading Nan-ga artist.
The painting is in good condition with light insignificant marks due to its great age.
Painting: 16 3/8 x 42 1/4 (41.5cm x 107.0cm)

Looking for a way to get naughty in the bedroom without getting dirty? Ladies, I give to you La Florentina Giraterra Soap. Oh. Holy. Moses. This soap smells so damn good we have dubbed it, and we kid you not, "The Sex Soap". To start, the black-box packaging is regal and quite a few steps above the typical wax paper wrapping. Combined with a loofah, it creates a nice lather and leaves the skin feeling refreshed and smooth. And those two features by themselves would make this a good soap. But it's what happens afterwards that makes this a great soap. The oak-and-tobacco scent literally melted us into jello. Let's just say that this soap lives up to its nickname.

A bright sun and warm weather is a great opportunity for athletes to practice their sports outside, even if their sport is ordinarily an indoor sport. By having organized practices outdoors, teams can save money on gym rental. Players can work on their skills more every day to prepare for their regular seasons.
During the extended period outside, athletes need to be careful of sunburn and sun poisoning, which is an extreme case of sunburn.
Some athletes may be able to seek out a shady spot to practice in. If there is no choice but to practice in the sun, another option is to wear long sleeve-shirts, long pants, and a baseball cap to avoid sunburn. However, these options are often difficult to wear in the extreme heat. Coolibar makes multiple gloves and sleeves that allow people to remain cool, but still be protected from the sun.
The most popular option is using sunscreen. The most common mistake is putting it on once and then not reapplying it throughout the day. It needs to be reapplied every 1-2 hours. .
Health.howstuffworks.com explained the differences in Sun Protection Factor (SPF):
- SPF 15 - blocks 93% of UVB rays
- SPF 30 - blocks 97% of UVB rays
- SPF 50 - blocks 98% of UVB rays
The best sunscreens for athletes are those that are listed as sweat-resistant and/or water-resistant because athletes do not want to sweat off the sunscreen.
Coppertone Sport Accuspray is great because it is water resistant for approximately 80 minutes and it comes in different SPFs.
Eyes also need protection from the sun because Ultraviolent A light, Ultraviolent B light, High-Energy Visible Light (HEV light), and Blue Light are extremely dangerous. Ultraviolent A and B lights cause cancer and cataracts. The HEV light can also causes cataracts as well as eye deformities. Blue light can damage the retina.
To prevent exposing the eyes to these dangerous elements of the sun, wrap-around sunglasses can be worn when practicing and competing.
These are a safer option than regular sunglasses because they frames extend to the left and right sides of the face for peripheral vision. The glasses are also shaped to the form of the face to prevent them from flying off. For added protection athletes can attach a strap to the back of the glasses.

Doesn't it seem like our lives move at a breakneck pace? It's a challenge to completely switch from the workplace to family life and back again; we're constantly catching up with email at home or making a quick call to talk about the kids during the quick breaks between meetings. Whether at work or at home, people have the need to make meaningful connections with one another. Compounding that need are the realities of the world we live in where instant access to information is expected, friends and coworkers are scattered across the world, and most adults are juggling at least three different mobile devices.
Earlier this week, an interesting article examined some of the investments we and our partners at Microsoft are making in the space "from the living room to the boardroom." Take a look and see what you think about our solutions to make your busy life easier.

TC TO ALEXANDER J. SCOTT ; 6 August 1859; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18590806-TC-AJS-01; CL 35: 161-162
Auchtertool House, Auchtertool Kirkcaldy, 6 Augt, 1859
Dear Scott,
Your Letter reached me two days ago, in the agony of a flitting operation (over from Aberdour quarter to this new locality); and I could not command as much deliberation as to answer it, till now.
I am by no means surprised you should eagerly wish to quit Manchester, your vocation now being what it is there, and the "Owen College,"1 under such pilotage,2 unalterable by all your efforts, having got into the shallows inevitable in that case. I ardently wish you were well away, and completely rid of such an enterprize.
They say founding a new magazine3 is a work of terrible difficulty, and especially almost always of unexpected expense to the finance parties;—I have no doubt there is labour abundant, and contradiction do (whh is the sorest kind of labour) for any one that faithfully grapples with editing such a thing! I do not personally know your Publishers4 at all, and have heard very little of them either, tho' that little was on the favourable hand; if you can better inform yourself on that hand, I need not say how important that will be. Advice of my own in regard to any point of the matter, much more as to the great Yes-or-No question, I am totally unable to give:—it seems to me rather you will, with your eyes open to the risks and questionabilities, probably decide "Yes"; and I am by no means prepared to forbid, if you put it to me. In the tussle and scuffle there are generous elements too; and perhaps it will force you to strike out your limbs fairly at last, like a man thrown into the sea and swimming for life ("all real human action is like swimming," says Goethe; "an element threatening to swallow you; whh you buffet frankly, and find that it will bear you along"):5—if this be the result produced, I shall say it is simply what you have wanted (to my notion) for these 20 years last past.
As to my own "Contributing," there could be no vehicle suitabler to me,—had I once anything to contribute!6 But my life is, as it were, hemmed in and bounded by the frightfullest of insoluble Enterprises; and till that be ended (if it don't first end me, as often seems to me likely) I am simply Nemo [nobody] in Literature, and nothing but zero can come of me to you or another. That is the sad fact.— Decide wisely: God grant that!
T. Carlyle

Kiva FX- JavaFX Application using Kiva API
By Mohammed Sanaulla on Jun 28, 2009
I was one of the earliest people to have explored the Kiva API. But then i couldn't do anything useful out of it. Few days back it just flashed to me why not create a JavaFX Application which makes use of the Kiva API and also provides fair bit of usefulness. I sat down and went through the API again to check what all it provides. Then i came to a conclusion that let me create some application which the lenders can make use of, say to track the entrepreneurs they have funded. I kept the features limited so as to avoid too much of HttpRequests and Parsing of XML. I spent 3 days of non-stop coding to complete the application. Most of my time was spent on aliging the UI and different components. Hopefully JavaFX gets a JavaFX Builder soon (With the UI support). But to be frank the various features of JavaFX made the application development easier. This would have been more heavy and time consuming if developed using Java Swing. I really liked the "bind" feature of JavaFX. We can bind the data sources to different UI components and let JavaFX do the job of updating the view. I had problems in using the Effects and also few javaFX controls. So i stuck to more basic fade transition and the gradients.
More details can be found here.
Launch the application here.
Do drop in your comments and let me know how i can improve the application.

We are looking for a standard clarinet for my daughter, and I am very confused about the price differences between ebay.com and the local music stores. For example a Le Blanc Plus brand new clarinet costs around $2000 at the music store, but the starting bid at ebay is only $300. Anyone recommend buying instruments from ebay? Thank you.
If you can get a $2000 clarinet for $300, and if there's nothing wrong with the clarinet, then I'd say go for it. But, the last one is a big if. Unless you know a lot about clarinets you need to be very careful. You'd definately need some kind of examination period during which you can get your money back. Whether you can get this or not depends on the seller, but you can always ask. Jon

Until the sale, Adco was owned and operated from its Sedalia, Mo., home continuously by three generations of the Van Dyne family.Adco courted buyers wishing to run the company much as it has been for 99 years. "We have no fourth generation," says CEO Van Van Dyne, "and we wanted to keep the company here in Sedalia, so our employees would stay employed."Van Dyne will stay on to run the company for at least two years, and staffing, research and distribution will continue under the new ownership virtually unchanged. "I see no changes ahead in the way we do business," he says. "The name will remain Adco, and sales and service will not change — they could even get better. Our customers will probably never know."

Xit Group Quick Release Dual Shoulder Camera Neck Strap
The Xit Group has introduced a new Quick Release Dual Shoulder Camera Neck Strap, dubbed the ultimate solution for two camera shooters. It is light weight at only 0.84 lbs., and small with a widening shoulder construction which reduces the burden. The strap is ergonomically designed and the weight is evenly distributed by way of the shoulder pads. The Dual shoulder Strap uses Velcro and fasteners as connections to facilitate dismantling, and it can easily be divided into two separate camera straps. The lock parts and connections are made of metal to hold up to rigorous usage. There's an adjustment device in the front of the strap designed to facilitate rapid adjustment of strap length. There are two tripod quick release plates with 1Ž4" threads for connecting the camera to any device with 1Ž4" screw. There is no need to remove the plate when mounting on a tripod.
