I was pretty disappointed with this mobile, the name might sound galactic but it ends there.
Let us have a look of what are good...
1) The name.
2) ....(I can't think of any!)
The battery is awful, have to recharge it for every 5-6 Hrs. and that is when it is in idle and just on 2G and WiFi.
Navigation is poor.
For a mobile which is costing around 1.4k and running ICS, it would be better if it has a more memory or atleast the option to move the apps to SD card, but the 1GB of memory is only enough to use a limited apps. A whack job of mobile which leaves the users with nothing but regret.

The closest relative to the S3 in terms of design, S duos is phone which is very well built.
But the similarity ends there as the phone is not a performer like its cousin. Weighing in at around 120g , S duos is powered by a single core 1 GHz Cortex-A5 processor coupled with 768 MB of RAM and ADRENO 200 GPU.One cannot expect it to skyrocket the performance charts as the performace is on the lower end with occassional hiccups and crashes.Though apps run quite smoothly ,one can notice quite a lot of lag on multitasking .You get 4GB of internal memory(about 1.5GB usable) which is expandable via a micr SD card. The bright 4inch display is one of the major USP of this device.With a resolution of 480X800 (which gives a pixel density of about 233ppi) , the screen is crisp and sharp. Colors are very accurate and readability in bright sunlight is not that impressive.The rear of the phone has a 5 mega pixel shooter with an led flash and the front has a VGA shooter. The rear camera takes some good shots in well lit conditions,this is not the case in low lit conditions. Camera UI is typical Samsung with features for panorama,timer, smile shot and varioius scene modes.The menu is not rich in terms of the camera control settings for exposure,ISO etc .Videos recoded on the device are of average quality with a max resolution of 480p .If you take a lot of selfies ,you will be disappointed with rear camera photos are grainy and are washed out. Video playback is a good experince mainly because of the sharpand bright display.Music experience is a delight as the stock head phones are of good quality and a good music player app.Drawing its power from a 1500mAH battery, the phone survives just about a day of above average usage .
Go for the phone for its good display, music playback quality, decent camera and build quality.
But all this let down because of is slow performance of the TouchWiz UI which just spoils the

SAMSUNG S DUOS is an entry level mobile from samsung with an price tag of about
10000/- this phone runs on android 4.0.4 ice cream sandwich(ICS) recently samsung
has also released samsung s duos 2 also with similar price tag.this phone has an
4" display of TFT WVGA 480*800 technology with 233ppi of pixel density(this can
also be seen in samsung starpro) with single core 1Ghz qualcome MSM7227A
snapdragon s1 processor coupled with Aderno 200 GPU and 768Mb of RAM,
4Gb of internal memory out of which approximately 2GB is user available
and consists of 1500mah LI-ION battery and 5MP camera with LED flash.
when comming to design front this mobile resembles to the 2011-12 flagship mobile
samsung galaxy s3.just a quite a thicker than s3and weighs 120gms and got 4"display
with three captive touch buttons home,back,options.both power button and volume
rockers are situated on right and left side of mobile respectively and memorycaRD
SLOT on the lower right side,display of this phone is an finger print magnet
(you need to clean it regularly after using).when backpanel is removed we can
see 1500mah battery and simslots,with camera situated exacetly in the middle
of the phone below which there is an LED flash for taking decent photos.
samsung s duos consists of an 4" display of TFT WVGA technology of 480*800 with 233 ppi,
i have faced much of problem operating mobile under direct sun light due to less contrast
and brightness level and display is quite reflective,but display gives nice colours(display
is made of TFT technology means this consumes less power than IPs display)
when comming to features this has got diferent types of sensors like compass,accelerometer,
proximity sensor and supports wifi,wifi hotspot,wifi-802.11 bgn,bluetooth V3.0 and usbV2.0.
this has got auto focus 5MP camera with LED flashand runs on touchwiz UI
s duos has got an rear 5MP autofocus camera with LED flash and 0.3 MP front camera for
taking selfies which is no so good in quality,photos taken in lit conditions are decently
captured with 5MP autofocus camera and photos taken in dark conditions are a bit of noise
inspite of having LED flash,the burst mode in this phone was tereble it was takeing about
3SEC for one pic which is very dissapointing(may be due to outdated processor)
when comming to hardware front this has got 1Ghz processor of qualcome snapdragon s1
processor with aderno 200GPU (this is an outdated processor) this can handel basic games
we will be talking about this later this is having 768Mb of RAM.there was a slight of lag
whene moving from oneapp to other
performance wise this gives an decent performance due to 1Ghz processor coupled with
aderno 200 gpu of graphics front and 768Mb of RAM this can handel day to day tasks easily
and got 4GB of internal memory with 2GB user available this can be increased by using
externalmemory card upto 32gb
when comming to gaming front this has got 1Ghz snapdragon s1 processor coupled with
aderno 200 GPU which is absolutely outdated processor,i have tested few games on tis mobile
like temple run,temple run 2,angrybirds there were no frame drops in above games and
in graphic intensive games like temple run oz,subway surfer etc were playable with few lags
If you want to buy this phone it would be better to carry any portable powerbank
or battery charger with you if and only if you are heavy user.this gives of
about an 6Hrs of battery backup from 100% to shutdown with continous playing games
,watching movies,listning songs,few calls and a littile bit of social networking
and webbrowsing.
this is an entry level mobile with 1ghz processor and 768Mb of RAM for doing day to day
tasks with an ease,camera quality is quite ok,can play less graphic intensive games
if you are seeing to buy a mobile under 12k then motoG,intex aquai5,micromax canvas HD
will be good option than this one unless and until you are brand conscius
*built quality *outdated processor
*camera *batery backup
*display *ocational lag

this is a very good phone if u dont want want too many BIG apps. otherwise this phone will hang.but otherwise it is a very good phone. battery life is a bit less. features are very good. display is very good,touch is also very good and the best one, design is excellent. the official facebook app will make this phone to hang a lot.It comes with 700 mb ram so samsung could bring a kit kat update or at least the jelly bean.
Midhun Kumar
Build quality:- 3.5/5 --> Build quality is good same like other Samsung other galaxy series.. Processor:- 3/5--> Processor is ok. sometimes Lag or hang because of low ram but most of the times it is working fine.
Camera:- 4/5 --> Camera for this mobile is quite good at day time but night time with flash you can take good pictures. Video recording is also good.
Touch response:- 3.5/5 --> Touch response is quite good(butter-smooth). Typing is quite good.

He flew through the air with the greatest of ease in Las Vegas, gliding above and past defenders time and again for highlight-reel dunks. He then joined fellow countryman Dante Exum on Australia's national team.
On Tues. Aug. 26, Australian forward Brock Motum made it a trifecta of a summer, baby, signing a free agent contract with the Utah Jazz. The 6-foot-10-inch, 246-pound diaper dandy out of Washington State last played in Italy, putting his fiery red hair, his pasty white complexion and his best Mick Dundee impressions to good use in Bologna.
There Motum averaged about eight points and hauled in three rebounds as a great white hope for the Italian club Granarolo Bologna--waiting for an opportunity to show NBA teams what he could do.
In Las Vegas, Motum got that chance, scoring eight points a game with the Jazz' NBA Summer League entry while shooting over 50 percent on his field goal attempts.
His play with the Jazz --which can only be described as high-flying and exciting over his five games there--as well as his current play with the Australian National Team, led the Jazz to sign the latest in a series of Australian celebrities who also happen to play pretty decent basketball.
Terms of the deal--as is always the case with the Jazz--were not immediately disclosed, a polite way of saying it's not anyone's business what Motum stands to make in a Jazz uniform--if he stands to make much at all.
According to several media outlets, Motum will likely be a non-guaranteed training camp invite, meaning that in order for him to make the team's final roster, he will have to outperform the other camp invites in Boise for a spot later this fall.
Motum wasn't the only player the Jazz signed; former New York Knicks guard Toure Murry who is out of Wichita State also signed a deal with the Jazz on Tuesday--likely structured similar to Motum's.

Taking in-Home Gardening to a New Level
From Dean Dowd on November 19, 2009 in Green Remodeling
I love these little pieces of art called Green Pockets. Artist Maruja Fuentes designed these ingenious interlocking wall planters to be hung in multiples and filled by your own creativity.
Fuentes studied environmental design in Puerto Rico, architecture in Washington, D.C., and furniture and textile design in Savannah. Her well-rounded experience and obvious natural talents and imagination imbue her whimsical eco-friendly creations. Made of recycled materials and filled with oxygen-improving plants, Green Pockets are about as green as you can get.
Combined with matching flat tiles, the Green Pockets can be organized in any pattern to the wall to create the illusion as if they were actually growing from them, says Fuentes.
These would work well either in a gallery space on contrasting walls as in the top photo, or as a simple, natural touch to a home environment, shown below. Fuentes seems to have sparked my own creativity. As an avid home cook, I would love these as a backsplash into which I could plant my own dried herbs!
Fuentess other designs include drinking glasses and a flower-pod seating/table system, as well as other interesting objects of both form and function. She widely exhibits her work and has been featured often in the media.

Central Florida is home to all avenues of entertainment and the arts at large, perhaps that is why local talents like Sissaundra Lewis (The Voice), Robert Bennett ( Jim Hensons Creature Shop) keep making waves on the national stage. Professional body artist Nix Herrera is no stranger to the national stage either appearing on Face Off Season 2 . Last weekend Nix generously shared his expertise with some aspiring students at AEO Studios in Orlando. "I believe in giving back" to the artistic community says Nix. He believes in the philosophy that artists benefit from working together in a supportive environment.
He began his career as a airbrush artist when he discovered an old airbrush in his fathers garage. "Can I have this Dad", he asked...little did his father know but that 'find' would set Nix on a successful career course. He told the class how he lugged around his fathers huge air compressor doing temporary tattoos as a fund raiser for his High School. Although he was just a teen he was savvy enough to save aside money to buy better equipment to grow his business.
When the I-Drive attraction Skull Kingdom opened it doors Nix seized the opportunity to work in a Halloween atmosphere all year round. his first job was as a 'stunt double for the electric chair man'. "Everyday I sat in the makeup chair and came out with abs of steel and rippling muscles painted on... and though yeah I could get used to this" says Nix with a smile. After only one year an opening for makeup artist apprenticeship opened up, and he gladly took the job. Bill McCoy took him under his wing and "taught me everything he knew " said Nix adding " that's one of the reasons I like to share my knowledge as a way of giving back".
He learned quickly and soon got an offer to go overseas to China to create looks for a major production of a Halloween show. Alan Ostrander had this to say about Nix, "As President of AEO Studios in Orlando, I have had the honor and privilege of working with the Amazing NiX on a variety of projects. I have known NiX for many years, since he was painting monsters at Orlando's Skull Kingdom more than a decade ago. We were able to bring him over to Hong Kong to work on our makeup team & as lead for the Ocean Park Halloween Bash for several years, the largest theme-park event in Asia. In addition, we have collaborated on numerous projects here in the US, and welcome every opportunity to work with this Amazingly Talented Artist, whether for Halloween or in any genre of Make-up."
His star studded client list includes Playboy's Super Bowl party at the Playboy Mansion , Black Eyed Peas NYC show ,Usher, John Mayer, Donald Trump , John Travolta, "08"Jay-Z 40/40 Club NYC , Paris Hilton & Benji Madden's DJ Tour Tampa,Danny Masterson from "That 70's Show" DJ show Tampa FL., Adrian Grenier from HBO's "Entourage" New Years Eve Party and more.
His reputation has earned him a spot as a platform speaker for various industry trade-shows. He also hosts workshops for all forms of body art painting at various locations including the AEO Studios (located near Full Sail). During his recent workshop for beginners he went over everything you could ever want to know about air brush makeup application, spray guns, air compressors, products from a-z. He demonstrated how to assemble, disassemble, clean, trouble shoot your air spray gun properly and more. He then went over various painting techniques designed to strengthen your ability to spray properly. After the students gained some confidence in airbrush spraying he taught them some basic face painting techniques. He was a very patient teacher and assisted each student according to their level.
With Halloween approaching Nix offered also offered specialty class on horror makeup. Both novice and experienced artists attended hoping to take advantage of learning tips from the pro. Students received step by step instruction on how to create scary zombies, sexy vampires, aged faces and skeletons. Most of the techniques were practiced on paper , but students were also given 3D heads to work their makeup magic on, which could later be taken home for practice.
Both of the workshops were very intensive and informative. Nix has a way of putting everyone at ease so the pressure is off and the inner artist can come shining through. He truly is giving back to the art community in a big way. If you are interested in becoming a part of the world of air brush makeup art I highly recommend you study with Nix Herrera.

Monday, we wrote about the Lakewood Church that last was robbed of $600,000, revealing a window glimpse of how much the church takes in weekly, monthly and yearly as the donation plate is passed around from week to week. $32 million is a lot of money, but with all the celebrity members and star power it isn't too much of a surprise that the donation basket is full. Or is it? NewsMax confirmed the $32 million figure was correct on Tuesday morning, after doing their own "back-of-the-napkin math."
The robbery at Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church gave everyone a glimpse at how much cash this religious organizations is bringing in. The headlines seems shocking, but as readers have pointed out there are many ministries and community services supported with the weekly stipend. It is not really out of line for the churches expenses. And the pastor does not draw a salary from the church.
Now looking closer, the original figure of the theft loss for one week of 600,000 is not that impressive when adjusted for the personal giver. With approximately 50,000 people attending weekly, the average loss was roughly $12 bucks per person. That does not seem like a lot weekly, but adds up over the year. In the past Protestant giving is usually $20 or more in the offering plate and often about two times the annual giving that is shown by the calculations made after the Lakewood Church tithing theft.
How much is it worth to have peace, joy and happiness preached and ease that stressed out mind? A $15 donation is shockingly low when you consider the price of gas, electricity, water, coffee and breath freshening mints. At the beginning of the recession in 2008, ten to twenty bucks might pass muster, but what about today when prices are so much higher to minister to the homeless, the underemployed, the children and send money to missionaries? Just think, it costs far more than that to sit in a counselor's office for one hour, receiving help in coping with problems.
The alternative way of figuring is that the church membership of 143,000 lost a little under four bucks each. That way of figuring does not mesh well with charitable giving and actually would make the average member look like they were being stingy with God.
Of course, this trend was reported also in last year when Sojouners noted that donations are down to depression era levels. The article paraphrased Ronsvalle: "Churches and their members need to realize that if 100 million Christians gave an extra $50 a year, child deaths could be drastically reduced across the world."
Yesterday, people were shocked at how much the church brought in via the weekly offering basket. More money than many pastors and missionaries who devote their lives to local churches and preach about God will ever see in their lifetime. But, they are all God's children and while Lakewood church has some celebrity backing, today we have to wonder if the people are giving enough? Are they giving enough at Lakewood, and are they giving enough at your local church?

THERM-A-GAP 569, 570, 579 and 580 materials are the result of Chomerics continuing product improvements. 570 and 580 represent a significant improvement in thermal performance and conformability over previous gap fillers and have rapidly achieved industry wide acceptance.
All four products are available on aluminum foil (A) or on clean break glass (G) fiber carrier. As with all previous Chomerics gap-fillers, the A versions have a high strength acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive for permanent attachment to the cold surfaces.
THERM-A-GAP G974 thermally conductive interface pads are designed for use between heat generating components and their heat sinks. G974 material conforms to surface irregularities under moderate application pressures to fill air gaps and enhance heat transfer. It has a high thermal conductivity of 4.0 W/m-K. Pads range in thickness from 0.010 to 0.060 in. (0.25 to 1.5 mm). They include a fiberglass carrier for added strength during assembly and rework. G974 material is an electrically non-conductive, boron-nitride-filled silicone elastomer best suited for applications with pressures from 5 to 100 psi (0.03-0.69 MPa), and where high thermal performance is needed.
THERM-A-GAP 174, 274, and 574 - thermal interface materials fill air gaps between hot components and heat sinks or metal chassis. Their flexible, elastic nature allows them to blanket highly uneven surfaces. Heat is conducted away from separate components or entire PCBs into metal covers, frames or spreader plates.THERM-A-GAP A174 materials are suited for high volume, low cost applications, such as in automotive electronics, laptop PCs,etc.THERM-A-GAP A274 materials can be molded to meet exact dimensions required for optimum electronics packaging.THERM-A-GAP A574 materials are ideal for heat flux typical of microprocessors, video chips and power semiconductors.

The Devils of Loudun (Paperback)
Aldous Huxley's acclaimed and gripping account of one of the strangest occurrences in history
In 1632 an entire convent in the small French village of Loudun was apparently possessed by the devil. After a sensational and celebrated trial, the convent's charismatic priest Urban Grandier accused of spiritually and sexually seducing the nuns in his charge was convicted of being in league with Satan. Then he was burned at the stake for witchcraft.
In this classic work by the legendary Aldous Huxley a remarkable true story of religious and sexual obsession considered by many to be his nonfiction masterpiece a compelling historical event is clarified and brought to vivid life.
About the Author
ALDOUS HUXLEY (18941963) was an English writer who spent the latter part of his life in the United States. Though best known for Brave New World, he also wrote countless works of fiction, non-fiction, poetry and essays. A humanist, pacifist and satirist, he wrote novels and other works that functioned as critiques of social norms and ideals. Aldous Huxley is often considered a leader of modern thought and one of the most important literary and philosophical voices of the 20th century.

Selecting a Search Engine or Directory
Most people search the web by opening their web browser and going to Google. While there is no doubt that Google is the most popular and dominant search engine, it is not the only option available. There are other types of search engines, as well as directories, to help you find the information you need. Below we have provided some information about search engines and directories to help you make an educated choice. Try more than one search engine and directory and see how your results may be different!
Search Engines
Search engines are huge databases which use computer programs, sometimes called "spiders" or "crawlers," to collect information about web pages on the internet. The size of the database can vary from search engine to search engine. Using a search engine with a larger database may result in better search results.
In the 1990s, it seemed like a new search engine appeared every few months. But after the internet boom faded, competition, buyouts, and mergers have reduced the market to just a few major players: Google, MSN, Yahoo!, and Ask!. While earlier "search engines" are still available, they are either owned by the other player, or have their web searching is powered by other programs.
When you conduct a search, the engine will look through the databases for the word(s) you enter into their search interface, providing a results list with links to various web pages. Search engines rank their results in different ways, and are often very protective of how they actually order the sites. Generally, it is good to try a few different search engines and always review the results with a critical eye. Remember, what is on the top of the list is not always best.
Metasearch engines
Metasearch engines search more than one seach engine at once. When you enter a search, it will try your search in the various engines, and then summarizes the results. Metasearch engines are helpful when you want to search several different search engines quickly. However, all of the various rules regarding search engines apply (the ranking and advanced searching techniques). Info.com and Metacrawler are some popular metasearch engines.
Natural Language Searching
Ask.com (formerally Ask Jeeves), allows you to conduct a "natural language" search. When you type a question or a phrase into Ask.com, the search engine will interpret your search, and then present results with some suggestions on how to narrow your search results.
Directories attempt to catalog and organize the Web. Directories have people or specially designed computer programs which search the web and then sort the various web pages under different categories. Individual web page owners can also submit their page for review by the directories for inclusion.
Because pages need to be reviewed in order to be included, directories generally locate far fewer web pages than a traditional search engine. In addition, because of the review process, new web pages may not appear immediately in the directory. But when you use a directory, you generally have a better idea about what the pages you select are about since the information has been reviewed and organized. Google also has its own directory service. But there are many more specialized directories available, such as the Librarians' Internet Index and the Internet Public Library organizes and evaluates web sites for researchers.
Learning More about Search Engines and Directories
Want to know more about your search engine or directory? The best thing to do is look in the "About" or "Help" section on their web site. Often they provide an FAQ section about how their search engine works and provide tips on searching techniques. However, there are also many other guides which consolidate this information.
Search Engine Showdown Reviews: Lists and provides information about the various search engines and directories available. Details advanced searching features and results ranking. Includes information on which search engines are powered by which search providers.
Search Engine Watch: Provides links to search engine reviews, and ranks search engines on their performance in certain tests. Also includes search tips and web forums.
The Scout Report Archives: Publication of the Internet Scout Project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Provides URLs and annotations for selected internet resources.

Michael Elliott ("Like Mike," "Brown Sugar") has been hired to perform re-writes on the "Waiting to Exhale" sequel entitled "Getting to Happy" at Fox 2000 says The Hollywood Reporter.
Terry McMillan, who wrote both the 'Exhale' and 'Happy' novels, penned the initial draft of the 'Happy' script. Lori Laken Hutcherson then came onboard and is now being replaced by Elliott.
Elliott is currently performing scribe duties on "Guarding Cole," "Looking for Jimmy Lee," and a contemporary re-imagining of the opera "Faust" for MTV.

Jim Ryan has provided some updates on two PS4 exclusive games, "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" and "Shadow of the Beast." Both titles did not show up during Sony Computer Entertainment's appearance at Gamescom. According to a report from Gamepur on Aug. 23, however, the president and chief executive officer reassured fans that both projects are still in development.
"Shadow of the Beast" was first shown off at Gamescom 2013 as a reboot of the classic series. The new installment is being developed by Heavy Spectrum and will be published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Aside from the debut computer-generated trailer that was showcased at last year's Gamescom convention, not much has been shown for the upcoming title.
"Shadow of the Beast" was not featured at E3 2014 as well as Gamescom 2014. The software product's omission made many fans believed that the project may have been cancelled. Jim Ryan was able to confirmed that it is still coming in the future although he did not provide a more specific release date.
Another first-party title that did not appear at Gamescom 2014 was "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End." The executive explained that showing off a video game at a convention takes up a lot of resources. In this situation, most of the resources were already spent at E3 2014. At the Electronic Entertainment Expo, a real-time cinematic trailer was showcased for the sequel, showing off the new visuals (including the 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second features). It appears that the newest games from the "Uncharted" series may not be shown again until next year.
Sony Computer Entertainment did confirm that "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" is slated to arrive sometime in 2015. The development team behind the project, Naughty Dog, recently had several key members (including the two main directors of the project) depart. However, the publisher reassured fans that changes won't affect the production cycle. You can take a look at a screen of the upcoming title near the top side of this article (courtesy of the official Facebook site of Playstation).

Since Cinco de Mayo falls on a Monday this year, many Central Iowans will have to celebrate the holiday this weekend. If you want to make live music a part of your celebration, here are some shows in the area that you might want to consider.
Bob Pace (pictured) will perform at Billy Jak's Saloon in Pella on Saturday night at 9 p.m. The Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and Iowa Blues Hall of Famer brings The Dangerous Band to town for a special free Tulip Time (21+) show. If you can't make it to this show, you will have another chance to see the Iowa guitar legend on Sunday in Des Moines (see below).
Valley Junction will hold their tenth annual Cinco de Mayo celebration on Saturday. The free event will have live music, dancing, artwork, food, children's activities, a multimedia presentation, and more spread out across the 200 and 300 blocks of 5th Street in West Des Moines from noon to 10 p.m. Mariachi Zapata will perform from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., and the Tony Valdez Large Band will close the night from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. For a complete schedule of events, go to the Valley Junction website.
Saturday will be another doubleheader day at Vaudeville Mews in Des Moines. Waterloo "space rock" band Hazer will headline the 6 p.m. early show. The band released their first full-length album, entitled Something Rational, last year. Also on the bill for the early show will be Cedar Valley indie rockers Guss Royall and upstart Indianola alt-rockers The Shrooks. There will be a $5 cover, and the show is open to all ages. The 10 p.m. nightcap features the L.A. psychedelic band Mystic Braves, touring in support of their new album Desert Island (released on April 29). Iowa City folk rock group Crystal City and Des Moines rockers The New Bodies will open the show. The 21-and-over show will have an $8 cover charge.
Led Zeppelin tribute band ZOSO will perform at Wooly's in Des Moines on Saturday at 8 p.m. The highly-acclaimed Los Angeles band is in their 19th year of thrilling audiences as the legendary English rock band. Tickets for the show are $15 for this 16-and-older event.
Des Moines folk/funk/soul band GoodcaT will top a bill at DG's Tap House in Ames that also includes Ames folk group Holly and The Night Owls, Atlanta folk group Lily and the Tigers, and Omaha Americana/soul band Blue Bird. GoodcaT released their first studio album "And So..." last October. The show will have a $5 cover charge and is a 21+ event.
Sunday, May 4 kicks off with a benefit for blues guitarist Walter Trout at the Gas Lamp in Des Moines from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Trout has been battling serious health issues for some time, has lost over 100 pounds, and is currently awaiting a liver transplant. The event will feature performances by Bob Pace and The Dangerous Band, as well as James Biehn. Pace, who organized the event, will also serve as host. There will be a suggested $10 donation at the door. Donations may also be made through Trout's website.
At 8 p.m., the Gas Lamp will host the Pittsburgh roots band Jayke Orvis and The Broken Band (featured video). Orvis's group released their latest album, Bless This Mess, last year. Opening the show will be Orvis' guitar player James Hunnicutt and Matthew James and The Back Home in Michigan Band. The 21-and-over show will have a $10 cover charge.
If you missed Lily and the Tigers in Ames on Saturday night, you can catch them in Des Moines on Sunday. The Atlanta-based indie folk band will headline an all ages 6:15 p.m. show at Vaudeville Mews.

Edge of the Woods farm offers pony rides and petting zoos that travel to you! I found out they also have a 4-H club for ponies, one for mini-ponies and now one for Breyer horses. I have seen this company around southern NJ at various events. The animals are all in wonderful shape and the owners are seen checking up on them and rotating them through so if it is too hot or one looks tired (at Salem county fair it was brutal!) they get to rest. The prices are so much less than most pony ride places and the owners are really friendly. I took their business card and will be getting them to do a party soon!

We work to expose and end the cruelty inflicted on animals in the name of sport
The League Against Cruel Sports was established in 1924 and campaigns to end cruelty to animals in sport.
A dog fight takes place every single day. Help us end dog fighting.
Find out more about the League Against Cruel Sports current campaigns to bring an end to cruelty to animals in the name of sport.
Whether you want to Take Action, Volunteer, become a Member or join a regional group, there are countless ways you can support the League.
See how you can get involved now.
Our latest news stories and press releases are listed in this section.
Our blog is also updated regularly so you can keep informed about our campaign news, activities and progress.
The League Against Cruel Sports receives no government or Lottery funding for its campaigning work, and relies solely on the generosity of its members and supporters.
The 'running of the bulls' is a practice which involves letting loose up to a dozen bulls to run with and in front of thousands of jeering crowds along a designated route to their final destination, the bull ring.
The San Fermin or Pamplona Bull Run is the most publicised bull run which attracts thousands of International tourists each year, but there are bull runs and bull running festivals which operate in many towns and countries across Spain and Mexico, and in many other countries such as Portugal, Peru, Nevada, France, California and more recently Arizona.
The Pamplona Bull Run takes place during the San Fermin festival in Spain every year between the 6th July and 14th July. This year's campaign against this cruel festival has seen the League appeal to the travel operator, Top Deck asking them to stop promoting and selling trips to the festival.
Top Deck are an ABTA member but despite being signed up to ABTA's Animal Welfare Guidelines, which deem bull running and bullfighting as 'unacceptable practices involving animals in cultural events and activities', are confusingly selling packages that support tourist attendance at the Pamplona Bull Run. TAKE ACTION and email them TODAY>>
Last July, following a similar campaign, STA Travel issued a statement to say that the company has 'discontinued the sale of San Fermin Festival tours in Pamplona' – a fantastic victory for Pamplona's Bulls.
STA's decision to cease the promotion of the festival came less than two weeks after the League launched a new action asking supporters to contact STA's CEO, John Constable and make their opposition known. Over 12,000 people took action by contacting STA Travel highlighting the cruelty of bull running and bullfighting. People shared our hard hitting film and also followed 'Bully' the bull with his visit to STA's flagship store in London. We could not have achieved this victory without your support, so thank you!
STA Travel employs nearly 2,000 people in more than 200 branches across 12 countries, meaning this move will make an impact around the world.
You can view STA's statement here. Whilst this is good news overall, the sad fact is it does nothing to help the bulls who will be chased through the streets of Pamplona this year, and who will be killed in the bull ring at the end of the day. However, it's a major step in helping the bulls of 2015 onwards, and in enforcing the Animal Welfare Guidelines.
Each morning bulls are forced to run a kilometre down the cobblestone streets of the town, chased by cheering participants and spectators. Once released, the bulls are frightened with gun shots, electrocuted with cattle prods and kicked and hit by jeering spectators, often down concrete or cobbled streets which they slip and slide on, suffering broken legs and other injuries in the process.
The bulls are chased into a holding pen at the bull ring, to await their deaths at the bullfights, during the 'corrida de toros' that take place later that evening. Whilst in the holding pens some may be subjected to further 'weakening' which can involve the shaving of their horns (an excruciating process which leaves them disorientated and more sensitive to pain), being debilitated with laxatives, having vaseline rubbed into their eyes to impair vision, and by being drugged.
In front of jeering crowds, the bulls are then tortured and antagonised by the matadors on horseback, waving flags and repeatedly stabbing the confused animals in the neck and back. The injured, bleeding bull, weakened and exhausted, is then killed with a sword by the picador.
If the animal is not killed immediately, it is stabbed repeatedly until paralysed. When the bull finally collapses, its spinal cord is cut, but the animal may still be conscious as its ears and tail are cut off and kept as a 'trophies'.
Bull fights and fiestas attract people from all over the world; including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, America and Europe, including the UK. Many are unaware of the bulls' fate after the initial 'running'. Frustratingly, revenue generated from curious tourists ensures the survival of fiestas such as San Fermin.
Even though the fiesta is often described by package selling tour operators as 'a spectacle not to be missed', the harsh reality is that the spectacle they are referring to is based on savagery and cruelty, with no regard for the welfare of the animals at the centre of the attention.
However, like many cruel sports, bullfighting and cruel fiestas continue to be justified by those involved as being part of the country's history and culture. The League argues that this is a poor excuse for a practice that most people in Spain, the UK and around the world view as ritualised animal abuse.
The pro-bullfighting lobby would have us believe the faux 'contest' between a willing man and an unwilling bull is 'art and culture, a magical rite of life, a just and honourable way of life where man and bull combine to create unique and unrepeatable moments', an argument that couldn't be further from the truth.
Recently, the popular video sharing portal, YouTube, closed down channels devoted to Spain's "national fiesta", removing content showing bloody scenes of bulls being lanced by picadors, which it publically categorised as animal abuse.
We are asking for the public not to support this barbaric practice and to boycott any and all forms of bull running fiestas and bullfights, opting for a humane but yet exhilarating festival such as La Tomatina, coined the world's biggest food fight, where more than one hundred metric tons of over-ripe tomatoes are thrown in the streets, and no animals are hurt as a result.
Members play a pivotal role in our campaigning activities and the more members we have, the louder our voice and the stronger we stand.

Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Galapagos received €837,000, or about $1 million, from the Flanders government through the Institute for the Promotion of Innovation by Science and Technology (IWT). The company will use the money over the next two years to elucidate the structure of novel drug targets and related small molecules in its bone and joint disease pipeline.
Galapagos will collaborate with the Structural Biology Brussels group at the Flanders Institute for Biotechnology (VIB). The firm believes that this information will help it design potent and selective drugs and thus potentially improve their efficacy to treat bone and joint diseases. Most recently, in November 2008, Galapagos inked a deal with Morphosys to discover and develop antibodies in bone and joint diseases. The company also has a deal with Eli Lilly in osteoporosis, which is in the lead-generation phase.
Later in development are partnerships with GlaxoSmithKline in osteoarthritis and Jansenn in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The GSK collaboration was expanded in July 2007, and Galapagos received a €7.5 million milestone in December of that year.
Under the $1 billion collaboration with Jansenn in RA, Galapagos received €3.75 million in January for achieving preclinical proof of concept.

The 2014 Spring Run Salmon are back. Low water may have triggered an early return. And then came the rain! The creek is in remarkably good condition with good flows for the juveniles heading to the ocean and adults returning home to entertain the creatures of the Canyon. Otters are happy and enjoying wild salmon sashimi regularly. View the Salmoncam and check out the action. Sponsors needed!
We had a spectacular run with a final estimate at just under 17,000 salmon. This is in the top 4 years of recent records. Spawning began earlier than usual. Contact us for a 2013 Spring Run Salmon Tour. More videos including underwater action are located on the video page.
Butte Creek Canyon residents are working on a Conservation Overlay to be included in General Plan.
Please take time to thank the Butte County supervisors for supporting the protection of Butte Creek.
Canyon groups have contributed to developing a zoning overlay for Butte Creek Canyon which will help protect the water, wildlife and the beauty of this incredilble scenic wonder. The DRAFT document and the map are online now. An information workshop is scheduled for June 30th at 1:00 PM at 25 County Center Drive in Oroville. Stay tuned as we work with the County Supervisors to make this part of the General Plan. Butte Creek Canyon Draft Overlay and Map.

Read the new 2013 report from DFW.
The Department of Fish and Wildlife counted carcasses by the thousands. They chop the older carcasses and tag fresh ones with a round disc. Counting the # of tags left after a week helps determine how many are being dragged off by the bears and other critters which improves the accuracy of the count. The total estimate for the 2013 spring run was 15,886. Up by over 4,000 from the snorkel count of 11,470. Last yer's run was estimated at 17,000. Are we there yet? View 59 years of run numbers.
The recent rains brought the fish upstream from the ocean and they have flooded the lower canyon. Please "Like" Friends of Butte Creek on Facebook and post your salmon pictures and videos!! Check the Salmoncam also.
As was expected the summer snorkel count is a near record and snorkel counts are historically low. With 11,470 counted, 2800 more than last year, we could be looking at a run of 18,000 or more. The all-time record is from 1998 with over 20,000 spawning salmon. Things are looking good. Read report.
Final estimate from CDFW was 17,000 salmon. One of the top years for returns. Butte Creek's capacity to support salmon is a marvel to all.
Nearly 9000 salmon counted. The summer survey is generally much lower than the actual numbers, especially when there is a big run like this year. Read the report.

The Milwaukee County District Attorney's office recently subpoenaed the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) headquarters for the employment documents of a senior organizer under investigation for voter fraud in Wisconsin, according to records obtained by a conservative watchdog group.
The Wisconsin-based Media Trackers reported Monday that the Milwaukee D.A. had subpoenaed the SEIU headquarters in Washington, D.C. for the employment records of Clarence S. Haynes, a senior organizer for the national public-sector union.
Haynes, along with two other SEIU organizers, registered to vote for the Badger State's April 5, 2011, election using an out-of-state ID and claiming a Marriott hotel in Glendale, Wisconsin, as his residence, Media Trackers reported in October 2011.
In response to the report, the Milwaukee District Attorney's office began investigating Haynes and his associates.
Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf wrote in the April 17 affidavit requesting the subpoena that he had "probable cause to believe that Mr. Haynes voted without the proper qualifications as an elector when he cast a ballot on April 5, 2011."
"Moreover, based upon the statements of Austin Thompson and Todd Stoner as well as the hotel records of the Marriott Inn, I submit that there is reason to believe that Mr. Haynes had no intent to remain a resident of the State of Wisconsin at that time he made such a representation to Glendale election officials," Landgraf continued.
SEIU documents obtained by Media Trackers show the union spent $146,000 on the hotel, and Landgraf's affidavit reports as many as 50 SEIU employees lived in the hotel in late 2010 and early 2011.
Media Trackers communications director Brian Sikma said the incident was part of the SEIU's history of foibles and follies.
"The SEIU has a history of questionable tactics, and some of its top leaders have worked for and on behalf of extremely liberal candidates, including President Obama," Sikma said in a statement. "What remains to be seen is whether or not this union will take internal action to prevent its employees from committing voter fraud, or whether it will simply look the other way and refuse to halt its questionable and suspect tactics."
The SEIU did not return requests for comment.

Never feel again after this final punch in the gut.
I'm spent. Never had I thought that a video game could deliver such feelings. When Lee took in Clementine under his own wing, who knew that episodes later I would feel so invested in that relationship?
That in itself, reveals the beauty of The Walking Dead game. While it's more suitable to coin it as an interactive movie rather than a full blown game, Telltale Games actually uses this to their advantage. In fact, it only enhances the emotional impact it has on you, places you right in the action where it's needed and places the core focus on story and character development.
Check out the official trailer!
Gameplay is limited to choosing how you want to respond to other characters, a few rapid button pushes for action sequences, and very forgiving FPS moments. It's essentially a point and click adventure, where you'll interact with limited surroundings and delve deeper into the relationship of characters.
The Walking Dead has transcended the barrier between a simple video game and a life changing experience.
Episode 5 No Time Left does indeed feel like there's impending doom up ahead. Since the happenings of the last episode, a major plot turner has left Lee with very limited time to save Clementine from the clutches of her captor.
Every decision you made from the first episode comes into play here. Depending on how you treated your fellow survivors, they will either follow or abandon you on your mission to save Clementine. There's some heartfelt moments here as you realise that every moment with your friends may be your last.
Without giving too much away, the finale of the game delivers such a strong emotional response that it'd reduce anyone to tears. As Lee, you're not just a character in a game, you're Clementine's guardian, the leader of the group, the force that has kept everyone going despite the people you've lost. When the credits roll, you're left with such a depressing feeling that your emotions are completely shot for the rest of the day, and possibly days to come.
Definitely Game of the Year material, The Walking Dead has transcended the barrier between a simple video game and a life changing experience. It's not just about zombies, it's about survival, the hard decisions you'll make in order to live and the bonds that you'll build with the people you meet. Whether you love zombies or not, it's definitely a journey that's worth making, and you'll forever be a changed man afterwards.

No. 24 Texas Tech Finishes Classic with Walk-Off Win Over Huskies
Feb. 27, 2012
LUBBOCK, Texas - On the same day Texas Tech received its first top-25 national ranking in seven years, the No. 24 Red Raiders defeated Northern Illinois 3-2 on a walk-off triple by freshman Tim Proudfoot in the bottom of the ninth inning Monday night at Dan Law Field at Rip Griffin Park.
Texas Tech (8-1) finished the Brooks Wallace Memorial Classic undefeated with three wins over Northern Illinois (0-7) and two wins over then-No. 18 St. John's. Monday also marked the completion of the Red Raiders season-opening nine-game homestand.
Four Red Raider pitchers combined on a no-hitter through eight innings before the Huskies not only broke up the no-hit bid with a double to lead off the ninth inning, but five batters into the inning they had tied the game 2-2 after a two-out double off Texas Tech closer John Neely.
Tech didn't let the game go into extra-innings as left fielder Brennan Moore recorded a one-out single to left field in the bottom of the ninth and then scored on Proudfoot's game-winning, walk-off triple to right field.
Proudfoot (2-for-4, RBI) and Moore (2-for-4, run) were among Tech's leading hitters in the game while freshman Matt Eureste also finished with his first career multi-hit game going 2-for-4.
Neely (1-1) earned the win while allowing two runs on three hits in the ninth inning. Northern Illinois reliever Kyle Glancy (0-2) took the loss while pitching 0.2 innings giving up one run on two hits with one strikeout.
Making his first start of the season for the Red Raiders was sophomore David Paiz who took the no-decision after pitching five no-hit innings while striking out four and walking one batter. Tech relievers Jerad McCrummen (1.0 IP, 1 SO), Andre Wheeler (1.2 IP, 2 SO) and Trey Masek (0.1 IP, 1 BB) combined on the no-hitter through eight innings.
The Red Raiders will now hit the road while playing their next seven games away from home, starting Friday, March 2 at the Houston College Classic where they will face No. 4 Arkansas at Minute Maid Park, the home of the Houston Astros. Tech will also face No. 5 Rice (Saturday, 7 p.m.) and Houston (Sunday, 2:30 p.m.) on the weekend.

Just Because You Can Doesn't Mean You Should
If you take any time at all to study people who are successful you will notice several things. One of the more prominent things is that they tend to be Brilliant in ways that often society will not call brilliant. Think about it... Einstein's mother was told that he was stupid and would never make anything of himself. Michael Jordan was cut from the basketball team.
There is a list a mile long of people who "shouldn't have made it" but not only made it, but made it bigger than most people even dream is possible.
So the first thing to consider is that it doesn't necessarily take book smarts to be successful. It doesn't necessarily take a high IQ to be successful. What it takes more than anything is the ability to dream big and CHOOSE to go after everything you dream is possible.
That being said... as you dream and discover all of the amazingness that you are capable of, you will also discover a lot of situations that you CAN take care of. You will find "opportunities" in front of you to stretch your muscles and use your skills. They will begin to become VERY abundant.
As you continue to study successful people you will begin to notice that they are VERY capable of doing SO MUCH... yet they aren't always doing it.
Because successful people have learned that doing everything they Can do doesn't necessarily get them to the outcome they want. They have learned that just because they Can do something doesn't mean they should.
It is rather common for people to get so busy trying to prove all they can do that they take on everything they are "capable" of and end up neglecting the things they Should do to get them to where they want to go. All of the "Can Do's" become distractions and rabbit trails leading away from their ultimate goal. Unfortunately many times they never find their way back to the path that leads to their dreams and the success they truly long for.
So here is the low down on this. You don't have to "test right" in order to have what it takes to be successful. It doesn't matter if you work from home, have a traditional career, or are creating your own way... you ALREADY have what you need to be successful at YOUR dreams! The key is learning the skills that help you get there and get there faster. Anybody can learn these skills.
So be very aware of what you decide to take on. Be protective and selective with your dreams and goals. Get involved only with things that will move you in the right direction, help you continue to grow your skills and help others while you're at it.
Take a lesson from the successful people in the world. Choose wisely! Don't get distracted and if you do get distracted for a moment... correct it and come back to the main goal.
Like we said... You already have the dreams you need to be successful... now it just takes skill. Remember, just because you can, doesn't mean you should!!!
No go figure out what you are and are not going to do. Are you going to be successful living the work from home life? Are you going to be successful in your traditional career? Are you going to be a successful freelancer? What is it? Pick it and stick with it!!!

No matter what happens next, this season has already been the most memorable run in the New Orleans Saints' 43-year history.
From Drew Brees' record-tying six-touchdown performance in Week 1 to Darren Sharper's weekly heroics, to a field-goal virus that spread from Washington to Dallas to the Saints in December, it's been a thrill ride the entire way.
Ultimately, the Saints' 2009 campaign will be measured by what takes place in the Superdome in the next two games, and perhaps in Super Bowl XLIV in South Florida one month from today.
But up until this point, these have been the 10 defining moments of the Saints' 2009 season, starting here with No. 10.
No. 10: Garrett Hartley's missed 37-yard field-goal attempt - Week 16 vs. Tampa Bay
With a chance to salvage an ugly victory against the lowly Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Hartley did the unthinkable -- he hooked an easy 37-yard field-goal attempt wide left. And the Saints went on to lose 20-17 in overtime.
The loss certainly can't be pinned on Hartley alone. The Saints' offense went scoreless after jumping to a 17-0 lead on its first three possessions. The defense couldn't stop the run. The special teams allowed an unforgivable 77-yard punt return for a touchdown with less than three minutes remaining.
In less than two weeks, the Saints managed to turn a season filled with exclamation points into one surrounded by question marks:
Can they trust Hartley in another stressful situation? Can their run defense stop anybody? Can their offense turn the switch back to "On"?
Because they decided to rest most of their starters in a Week 17 loss at Carolina, the Saints will have to wait until their playoff opener Jan. 16 to find out the answers.
Their performance that day will be the one that truly defines this remarkable season.

Students don't have school on Monday, January 18th, but that doesn't mean they have to stop learning. There are several ways that teachers can help students learn more about the reason we have this holiday.
History teachers many want to consider encouraging students to attend one of the many events taking place on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the Baltimore area. Even if students can't go to an event, the local news stations will be covering the annual parade, which begins at noon on Monday.
For English teachers, writing prompts about the holiday are a good option. There are so many great journal topic ideas for Martin Luther King Day. This man's personal courage, vision and determination are all traits that can lead to any number of writing prompts that can get students thinking about what the holiday means. Many students end up writing the same thing every year - an "I have a dream" speech of their own. They have some wonderful ideas and it is certainly a great writing prompt, but teachers who want to dig deeper into the holiday and to encourage students to be a bit more original may want to try one of these ideas:
- Martin Luther King put his life in danger to fight for something he believed in. Would you have the courage to stand up for what you believed in if you had to pay the same price?
- What would the world be like today if Martin Luther King, Jr. would have decided to just ignore all the injustices he saw and live a quiet life on the sidelines?
- If he were alive today, what injustice would Martin Luther King, Jr. be fighting against?
