The girl he loves has been taken from him, he's been betrayed by his newfound half-sister, and he has only hours to find a cure to the poison coursing through his veins. He's in no shape to stop the Dark Lord from finding and using the Sword of Armageddon--but if he can't, he's not the only one who will die. The third book in the New Kid series takes Will and friends from a demon-infested island in the Puget Sound to the top of the Seattle Space Needle, where Will's struggle against the Dark Lord ends in a confrontation that will determine the fate of all mankind.

Although the most known and drank variation is Malibu Coconut Rum, the market also offers other Malibu Rum flavors for that fans to enjoy in their hot days. Therefore, here is what you could encounter when heading to buy some liqueur from a liqueur store:
Malibu Lime was produced and sold only until 2003 due to its lack of popularity in France and Jamaica. As the title says, its major flavor was Lime.
Malibu Pineapple Rum – higher number of calories and carbs than the coconut rum. Lower alcohol volume – 20% – makes this a very easy to drink rum. If the coconut version seems to sweet, the pineapple one could do the trick. Rum taste is not so prominent though…
Malibu Tropical Banana Rum – mix banana flavor with white rum and you have this brilliant drink, yummy!
Malibu Passion Fruit Rum – this one seems the most disappointing, while when drinking it it's like discovering a new children drink. So, so sweet…
Malibu Mango Rum – when opened, thoughts fly to tropics instantly! Of course, its taste is sweet, but predominant notes are given by mango, apricot and citrus. 69 calories, no fats or carbs.
Malibu Island Melon Rum – yea, right, I'll stick to the original coconut one.
As you see, there are actual 6 variations of Malibu Rum, but in the end, it all depends on a person's taste. Which one do you prefer most and why?
5 Responses to "Malibu Rum flavors and variations"
Great information! I've been looking for something like this for a while now. Thanks!
[…] with me some delicious Jamaican Rum Punch recipes and of course, when I see a drink containing any Malibu rum flavor it is a must to share it with my […]
I tried some Choolate rum when we were in the Virgin Islands reently. Do you know what ompany makes it or where I can find it?
hello a friend of mine just came back from Barbabados and I asked him to buy me Malibu Lime. He said they don't make it any more. I am very disappointed as it was my favourite from the selection. Please tell me how I can get it or if you can send me a bottle to the UK. Many thanks.
I bought some Malibu Lime in Barbados in 2000; I've been looking for it ever since. Now I know why I can't find it. Is the rum market defined by France and Jamaica only? People drink rum in the US also. And lime is a very popular flavor now. I have refused for 13 years to buy Malibu Rum until I could find the Lime. Guess I will continue to refuse.

Nobody's perfect. Over the course of 40 years, we've missed the target. Come along with us now, as we look back in agony at 11 of our most hare-brained covers -- the ones that were universally rejected by you, the readers. For whatever reason an issue failed to please you, we can only apologize with our standard line: "We must have been high!"
COW FLOP (August 1978)
Tom Forcade, the founder of HIGH TIMES, wanted to draw attention to alternative energy. Our cover was an image only a dairy farmer could love -- cattle and windmills. As for the alternative energy angle, you figure it out.
UNKNOWN SUPERSTAR (March 2004)
When the hottest comedian on the planet agrees to be on the cover, you celebrate. That is, until you decide to obscure Dave Chapelle's face with a flag and try to make the issue about race relations, rather than comedy and pot.
JAGGER'S ARMPIT (June 1980)
You set up a photo shoot with Mick Jagger. You spend a fortune on a photographer and a stylist and whatnot. Then, when you're all finished, you decide to put Mick's underarm on the cover. You can't always get what you want.
VIRTUAL BOMB (November 1991)
What kind of cover entices readers? How about a guy with a big, high-tech mask that covers half of his face? What's he looking at? We don't know; he's in cyberspace. But whatever it is, it's gotta be cool, right? Check out the psychedelic static. That's radical! Virtual reality is great! Look at that guy's face! He's having the time of his life! Wow. That looks really cool. Really, really cool. Yawn.
NO THANKS (July 1983)
This cover warned readers that if you buy pot, serious shit can happen. The terrifying prospect of getting 40 years for eight ounces is not the best advertisement for a magazine that celebrates marijuana use.
OUR WORST ENEMIES (June 1992)
To really score points, splash the two organizations that your readers fear most and announce that they covered up the knowledge of the bombing of PanAm Flight 103 over the skies of Lockerbie, Scotland. If you wanted to kill your buzz, this was the issue.
ADIOS! (August 1994)
HIGH TIMES has been covering the ongoing unrest in Mexico for years. But when a masked Subcommander Marcos, leader of the Zapatista revolution in Chiapas, appeared on our cover in full battle regalia, somehow readers knew that this story wasn't about cultivation.
SPENT DOCTORS (October 1994)
Rock'n'roll is a cruel world. You may have a monster, smash-hit album today, but chances are you'll be history tomorrow. The Spin Doctors weren't a bad group. Unfortunately, we caught them on their downward spiral, when they were already playing amusement parks.
FASHION MISTAKE (December 1984)
We chose two androgynous Japanese nerds in clothes that nobody wanted to wear and called the issue "Wild Style." Then we confounded our readers with the worst cover line in the history of the magazine: "Global Trends in Music Fashion Politics." Huh?
BRAIN DEAD (October 1991)
The cover read: "This Is Your Brain on Drugs. Any Questions?" Actually, yes. What is that thing? Maybe it's a brain. But it could be a squashed grape or a Kool-Aid spill. No one could tell.
THE TOILET ((January 1984)
We're in this business. We're supposed to know these things. A toilet on the cover of a magazine is not the most inviting image -- even if it is a grow niche. Guess where sales went.

After months of playing catchup and worrying about other teams holding games in hand, the Canadiens have a good idea of where they are.
And they have to be happy to know they control their destiny with 10 games to play in the regular season.
The Canadiens are in a virtual tie for fifth place in the Eastern Conference as they prepare to play the Ottawa Senators tonight (7:30 p.m., RDS, CJAD Radio-800).
Montreal, Ottawa and Philadelphia have 79 points each. The Senators and the Flyers have an edge because they have 37 wins each to the Canadiens' 36, but Montreal is playing better down the stretch and there is reason to believe the best is yet to come.
That's because the Canadiens are preparing to welcome Michael Cammalleri and Marc-André Bergeron back into the lineup. They have been out since early in February with knee injuries. After Saturday's shootout loss in Toronto, coach Jacques Martin said he expected both players to return this week and it could be sooner rather than later. Bergeron has been penciled in for a return tonight, while there were reports yesterday that Cammalleri also has been given the green light and could face the Senators.
Martin gave the team a day off yesterday and will make a decision on tonight's lineup after the morning skate in Brossard.
The Canadiens have a 7-1-1 record since the Olympic break without Bergeron and Cammalleri, but they should add some punch to the offence.
The Senators come to town
Mike Boone blogs live tonight as the Senators visit the Bell Centre. Join the discussion at habsinsideout.com
Cammalleri is the team's leading goal-scorer with 26, and his return will give the Canadiens a solid top line with Tomas Plekanec, Andrei Kostitsyn and Cammalleri.
Cammalleri will also provide an additional weapon on the power play, which is No. 2 in the NHL but only
5-for-32 since the break.
Bergeron is all about the power play.
One of the major complaints in recent weeks has been the inability of the Canadiens to get shots to the net during the power play and Bergeron provides an effective shot from the point.
While the Canadiens have been streaking, their immediate rivals have struggled.
The Flyers were swept by Atlanta in a home-and-home series on the weekend. Ottawa has lost five in a row.
Barring a total collapse, the question of whether the Canadiens will make the playoffs appears moot.
Boston is three back in eighth place and could make a move because they are the only team in the chase pack that still has a game in hand.
But the Canadiens are four points up on the ninth-place Thrashers and eight points ahead of the slumping New York Rangers.
Tonight's game kicks off a busy week for the Canadiens, who play four games in six nights.
They are in Buffalo Wednesday night before returning home for games Thursday against Florida and Saturday against the New Jersey Devils.
For a while last week, it appeared that the Canadiens had a chance to overhaul the Sabres for the lead in the Northeast Division, but the Sabres beat Carolina 5-3 yesterday to finish a five-game road trip with a 3-1-1 record. That moved the Sabres nine points ahead of Montreal and Ottawa, and they hold a game in hand.

With the Kawasaki and Aprilia teams having wrapped up their final tests of this year, Nicky Hayden took over the top the top of the timesheets at a sunny but cold Jerez.
Hayden posted a best lap in 1.40.090 which was almost half a second better than his qualifying time from last April - he qualified 3rd in 1.40.563- but apparently his lap time was done using the same chassis that he used in the second part of the season and not the two new ones that Borgo Panigale bought to test - Hayden also suffered a harmless crash at turn 3 during the morning session.
Andrea Dovizioso neck problems are still causing him enough pain to stop him from testing again - and unless he's fit enough to ride tomorrow - the next time he'll be back on his Ducati will be at the Sepang tests in February without having given almost any feedback. Dovizioso in all liklihood will also be forced to miss the Sic Supermoto Day charity event this upcoming weekend at Latina.
Marco Melandri who is suffering from a shoulder inflammation that hinders him from completing more than two or three laps at a time was second fastest - but the fastest World Superbike rider. Even if he was unable to match Eugene Laverty's Wednesday benchmark (obtained on qualifying tires) the Italian best lap with his BMW S1000RR was in 1.40.816.
Pramac's Andrea Iannone was within one second from Hayden in 1.40.989 completing a massive 72 laps while Ducati test rider Michele Pirro, substituting for the injured Ben Spies posted a 1.41.265 working on electronics.
Carlos Checa had a definite improvement with his Alstare branded Panigale, while team mate Ayrton Badovini was a more than three seconds slower on the second day of getting to know the twin cylinder 1199.
Hiroshi Aoyama was faster than Avintia Blusens team mate Héctor Barberá. The Japanese set a best time o 1.41.507 while Barbera did a 1.42'507 and also did some laps with part-carbon Inmotec chassis.
Chaz Davies ended up behind the FTR-Kawasaki riders while SBK returnee Max Neukirchner continued with his Panigale still in Superstock trim aand he was faster than Barni Ducati Superstock riders Niccolò Canepa and Eddi La Marra, but both riders are hampered by their injuries. Canepa is still recovering from his leg fracture and La Marra has a fractured hand picked up a Magny-Cours and he'll be undergoing surgery.
Testing will continue on Friday, but the weather forecast calls for rain.
Jerez test times - Thursday
Nicky Hayden – Ducati – 1'40"090
Marco Melandri – BMW – 1'40"816
Andrea Iannone – Ducati – 1'40"989

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.— Carly Noyes scored 16 points to lead Washington State to a 72-60 victory over UNC Wilmington in the final game of the Lady Lion Classic hosted by Penn State Sunday afternoon.
Noyes scored 12 of her points in the second half and Rosetta Adzasu added 13 points while Sage Romberg and Jazmine Perkins each added eight.
UNCW held the early on before the Cougs used a 7-0 spurt to take a 16-15 lead. Hana Potter got things started with a rebound putback while getting fouled. After the free throw, Tia Presley had a nice drive to the basket and Ireti Amojo followed with a pull-up jumper from the left wing.
Following a run by the Seahawks, the Cougs put together a couple buckets at the end of half to cut the UNCW lead to 33-30. Katie Grad provided a spark off the bench, grabbing two rebounds before driving to the basket and finishing with her left hand. Presley followed with a runner in the lane and Romberg hit a baseline jumper at the buzzer.
WSU got things going at the start of the second half, opening with a 14-2 run to build a 44-35 lead. Rosetta Adzasu had a nice dropoff to Noyes, Jazmine Perkins followed with a layin with the left hand high off the glass while getting fouled. After making the free throw, Perkins followed a Tarnowski three with a rebound putback and Noyes later capped the run with a turnaround jumper from the left block.
The Cougs began to pull away midway through the period, using some tough defense and hot shooting. WSU forced 27 turnovers and finished the game shooting 48.3 percent.
Next weekend the Cougs embark on an 8,100 mile road trip, heading to Madison, Wis. for a Nov. 18 meeting against University of Wisconsin, then on to Brookings, S.D. to face South Dakota State University Nov. 20 before making the 1,300 mile trek to the Virgin Islands for the Paradise Jam Tournament Nov. 24-26. There, WSU will face a pair of NCAA Tournament teams in Marquette University and Prairie View A&M University along with WNIT participant University of Michigan before returning to Pullman after playing the first seven games on the road.

A Series of Catastrophes and MiraclesDate: Tue, July 12, 2016
Time: 6:00 PM
Mary Elizabeth Williams, Journalist; Author, A Series of Catastrophes and Miracles: A True Story of Love, Science, and Cancer
In conversation with Peggy Orenstein, Author
This program is part of our Good Lit series, underwritten by the Bernard Osher Foundation.
Journalist Mary Elizabeth Williams was one of the first people in the world to get a new form of treatment for her stage 4 cancer diagnosis that's revolutionizing cancer care: immunotherapy. In October of 2015, her treatment protocol became the first immunotherapy combination approved by the FDA; it's the same treatment that former President Jimmy Carter underwent.
In her witty, wry, and deeply moving new memoir, A Series of Catastrophes and Miracles: A True Story of Love, Science, and Cancer, Williams shares her personal journey with malignant melanoma in her early forties and how—thanks to cutting-edge science—she was restored back to health with no signs of disease.

This program is part of our special series focused on people, place and power in the Bay Area, sponsored by the San Francisco Foundation.
The Bay Area is at a crossroads. We live in one of the most industrious, exciting places anywhere. We know that our vitality, ingenuity and broad array of cultural identities make the region special. Yet we also know that we have significant challenges. People are worried about jobs, housing, transportation, and about making sure that everybody has the chance to participate, prosper and reach their full potential, regardless of their race or the neighborhood in which they live.
Is it possible to provide true opportunity for all residents of our region, or is the notion of Bay Area exceptionalism just a myth? Join the dialogue.
Steve Blank: Hacking for DefenseDate: Tue, July 12, 2016

Wed 7/13
The Brazen AgeDate: Wed, July 13, 2016
Time: 6:00 PM
David Reid, Author, The Brazen Age
The Brazen Age is a sweeping look at the rich culture and turbulent politics of New York City between 1945 and 1950. But David Reid also reaches back to the early 1900s to explore the city's progressive politics, radical artistic experimentation and burgeoning bohemian culture, to the quickly growing media, movie and radio businesses in the 1920s, and to the influx of talented Europeans in the 1930s, vastly enriching the sciences and the arts. Reid also delves into the city's influence on the Dewey-Truman election, as he captures a complex and powerful moment in the post-war history of New York City.
Is California Entering a Megadrought?Date: Wed, July 13, 2016
Time: 6:30 PM
Explaining our future in these strangely wet and dry times
Noah Diffenbaugh, Professor, Stanford University
Peter Gleick, President, The Pacific Institute
This program was generously underwritten by the S.D. Bechtel Jr. Foundation.
California storms and droughts are getting more extreme, according to new research from Stanford examining recent rainfall patterns. The result is a new normal, with fewer average years and more dry times and also more wet times. Other forecasters warn that California might be entering an extended period of drought known as a megadrought. Uncertainty about changing rainfall is a challenge for the state's water system built on the predictable arrival of snow and rain.
What is California doing to prepare for bigger storms and droughts? How can an average person use water more efficiently and think about the water embedded in their food? Join us for a conversation about California's water future in strangely wet and dry times driven in part by the high-pressure system hanging off the coast called the "ridiculously resilient ridge."

Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths: The Computer Science of Human DecisionsDate: Thu, July 14, 2016
Time: 6:30 PM
Brian Christian, Author, The Most Human Human; Co-author, Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions
Tom Griffiths, Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science, UC Berkeley; Co-author, Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions
All our lives are constrained by limited space and time, limits that give rise to a particular set of problems. What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? What balance of new activities and familiar favorites is the most fulfilling? These might seem like uniquely human quandaries, but they are not. Computers, too, face the same constraints, so computer scientists have been grappling with their version of such issues for decades. The solutions they've found have much to teach us.
In this interdisciplinary work, author Brian Christian and cognitive scientist Tom Griffiths show how the algorithms used by computers can also untangle very human questions. They explain how to have better hunches and when to leave things to chance, how to deal with overwhelming choices and how best to connect with others. From finding a spouse to finding a parking spot, from organizing one's inbox to understanding the workings of memory, Algorithms to Live By transforms the wisdom of computer science into strategies for human living.

Wired's Kevin Kelly: The Future of TechDate: Mon, July 18, 2016
Time: 6:30 PM
Kevin Kelly, Senior Maverick, Wired; Author, The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces that Will Shape Our Future; Twitter @kevin2kelly
Much of what will happen in the next 30 years is inevitable, driven by technological trends that are already in motion. In his provocative new book, Kevin Kelly provides an optimistic road map for the future, showing how the coming changes in our lives—from virtual reality in the home to an on-demand economy to artificial intelligence embedded in everything we manufacture—can be understood as the result of a few long-term, accelerating forces.
Kelly describes these deep trends—flowing, screening, accessing, sharing, filtering, remixing, tracking and questioning—and demonstrates how they overlap and are codependent on one another. He says that these larger forces will revolutionize the way people buy, work, learn, and communicate with each other. By understanding and embracing them, says Kelly, it will be easier to remain on top of the coming wave of changes and to arrange our day-to-day relationships with technology in ways that bring forth maximum benefits.
Kelly engages people who seek guidance on where their business, industry, or life is heading—what to invent, where to work, in what to invest, how to better reach customers, and what to begin to put into place—as this new world emerges.

Redefining National Parks and Family Farms in a Changing ClimateDate: Tue, July 19, 2016
Time: 6:30 PM
Jordan Fisher Smith, Author, Engineering Eden: The True Story of a Violent Death, a Trial, and the Fight over Controlling Nature
John Hart, Author, Farming on the Edge: Saving Family Farms in Marin County and An Island in Time: 50 Years as Point Reyes National Seashore
How will national parks adapt to volatile climate? Jordan Fisher Smith, a former park and wilderness ranger in the American West, writes about the futile, sometimes fatal, attempts to remake wilderness in the name of preserving it. Tracing a course from the founding of the national parks through the tangled 20th-century growth of the conservationist movement, Smith gives the lie to the portrayal of national parks as Edenic wonderlands unspoiled until the arrival of Europeans, and shows how virtually every attempt to manage nature in the parks has only created cascading effects that require even more management. Now climate change is presenting a new set of challenges to America's best idea.
Family farms face a comparable and different challenge as they struggle to cope with a changing climate. Can farmers, ranchers and environmentalists come together to protect the environment and food supply as species migrate and weather changes? Join a conversation with two writers about how farms and parks are adapting to their new reality.

HTC intros blue One and One mini, Desire 601 (Zara), Desire 300
HTC has officially confirmed the existence of a blue One smartphone. Moreover, the company has also announced a blue version of the One Mini.
Both will be available in select markets starting the fourth quarter. This means that the blue HTC One will probably not be released by Sprint on September 10 (as previously rumored). In any case, it's clear that the third largest US mobile carrier will start selling the blue handset in the near future.
Here's the blue One:
And the blue One Mini:
In addition to unveiling the new color version of its One and One Mini, HTC has also officially presented two new Desire smartphones: Desire 601 (aka Zara), and Desire 300 (previously appeared as Zara Mini / Z3).
The Desire 601 runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, and features: a 4.5 inch qHD (960 x 540) display, LTE and HSDPA connectivity, dual-core 1.4GHz Snapdragon 400 processor, 1GB of RAM, 5MP rear camera with flash, VGA front-facing camera, 8GB of expandable memory, and a 2,100 mAh battery.

How is this possible?
Simple: you don't just have to run, cycle, or use the elliptical machine to get a great cardio workout! Weightlifting can be an excellent cardio workout when done right, and you'll find that a lot of body-weight workouts are great for building muscle as well as getting your heart beating. Running isn't the only awesome workout, but you can do all kinds of exercises to push your heart.
With the workouts below, you'll have a great cardio session without having to brave the cold.
Day 1
Do each of the following exercises for 20 seconds at full intensity, and rest for 10 seconds.
- Kettlebell swings
- Squat jumps
- High knees
- Jump Lunge
Day 2
Do the following:
- 10 push-ups
- 30 bicycle crunches
- 10 burpees
- 60 seconds of plank
- 10 lunges (each leg)
Day 3
Do the following:
- 30 seconds of right side plank
- 30 seconds of left side plank
- 30 seconds of plank elbow hold
- 10 lunges (each leg)
- 10 burpees
Day 4
Do the following:
- 20 burpees
- 20 mountain climbers
- 10 push-ups
- 10 lunges (each leg)
- 60 seconds in plank position
Day 5
Do the following:
- 10 lunges (each leg)
- 60 seconds in plank position
- 30 crunches
- 10 push ups
- 30 bicycle crunches
This workout just spans five days, but you can use the exercises from the various workouts if you want to work out a sixth day. You'll find that this workout will be surprisingly good for your heart as well as your muscles.
The reason that it's so great is that you never stop moving, so all of the muscles in your body will be worked before you take a break. Your heart will be forced to pump hard in order to provide all of the different muscles with enough energy, so it will work until you take your 60 second break.
Doing rounds ensures that your muscles are stressed properly, and you can even build muscle using these body-weight/weighted exercises. You can use a few simple free weights, or you can find body-weight exercises to replace the kettlebell exercise in Day 1. The most important thing is that you push hard!
4 Exercises that are a Complete Waste of Time
Some people get lucky and are born with fit, toned bodies. Andy Peloquin is not one of those people... Fitness has come hard for him, and he's had to work for it. His trials have led him to becoming a martial artist, an NFPT-certified fitness trainer, and a man passionate about exercise, diet and healthy living. He loves to exercise--he does so six days a week--and loves to share his passion for fitness and health with others.

Scavenger Hunting for Variety-The Children's Charity
As we move towards the holiday season, it is important to take time to remember what we are thankful for. cityHUNT is thankful for those who help others. Luckily there are many organizations dedicated to helping others located around the country. Each cause raises awareness, unique to an area in our society that needs attention. Today, cityHUNT wants to take the time to acknowledge and spread awareness of a special organization in the Philly area, Variety- The Children's Charity.
Learn More About Variety- The Children's Charity
What they Do
Variety, the Children's Charity of Greater Philadelphia, has been improving the social competencies of children with developmental and physical disabilities since 1935. Variety serves children from birth to age 21 who have disabilities that are permanent as well as temporary. The Philadelphia Chapter of Variety is currently part of a network of fifty branches that are located around the world.
Variety uses recreational activities and programs such as their Gold Buddies Program, which is a partnership with the PGA of America, to provide disabled children with the opportunity to prosper and grow within a safe and nurturing environment.
How it Started
The first meeting of Variety, the Children's Charity was in 1927. Those meeting were people from various facets of the show business, hence the name Variety. The organization did not advocate for children until the events on Christmas Eve 1928, when a baby girl was left in a theater with a note.
"Please take care of my baby. Her name is Catherine. I can no longer take care of her. I have eight others. My husband is out of work. She was born on Thanksgiving Day. I have always heard of the goodness of show business and I pray to God that you will look out for her. — A Heart-Broken Mother.
The group decided to act as the child's 'godfathers', making sure that she was taken care of. From these actions Variety- The Children's Charity was born.
Young Variety
Young Variety is a subdivision of the charity. This group of young leaders from the business community work to raise funds for disabled children through the use of social activities. They volunteer their time and efforts to Variety, and assist in the management of events that Variety throws for the benefit of the organization. The members of this initiative are of the ages 21-39 and work to bring their experiences and ideas to this worthy cause.
Here at cityHUNT we believe that Variety's mission to further social change through the use of recreation and social events is amazing and very like the goals that we have. This is why we are throwing a Philadelphia public event that will benefit the charity. We are gathering in the Center City/Rittenhouse area for a Halloween hunt that will be a blast and raise proceeds for Variety- the Children's Charity. To learn more about this event and to show your support visit our site.

Gun wackos see closing of lead-smelting plant as an evil plot by Obama
Right-wing conspiracy theories usually involve the conflating of a seemingly innocent action with sinister motives on the part of the usual suspects.
Conspiratorialists can make a census, for example, look like part of a fiendish government plot to put us all in concentration camps.
Or, as we see in a recent case, the closing of a lead-smelting plant in Missouri for environmental reasons can be made to look like a government scheme to disarm Americans who have been stockpiling guns for the inevitable showdown with Barack Obama's storm troopers.
Steve M. has the story HERE (including the fact that federal action against the lead smelter in question was commenced under a Republican administration).

Fox Sports 1 targets ESPN weakness, blending entertainment content with sports coverage
Major news about sports media doesn't usually break on ABC's daytime chatfest "The View." But then again, Regis Philbin isn't your typical sports TV talent.
"Fox is starting a sports channel…Regis is going to have a show on that," admitted Philbin, visiting "The View" Monday to welcome back host Barbara Walters, who immediately pressed him to announce his new venture there.
Turns out, Philbin will be hosting a daily talk show, "Rush Hour," that will anchor the 5 pm hour of Fox Sports 1, a national network planned to reach 90 million homes as of Aug. 17 in what organizers are calling the biggest sports cable network launch ever.
Fox didn't announce the channel until today (Tuesday) at its "upfront" event for cable TV advertisers in New York. It must have thrilled Philbin's bosses to see rival network ABC get the first video of their new host talking about his Fox Sports show on "The View" the day before,
Still it's obvious that Fox Sports 1's biggest rival is the self-proclaimed Worldwide Leader in Sports, ESPN. And to match their 24/7 broadcast power, Fox is converting its Speed channel to Fox Sports 1 and Fuel channel to a sister outlet, Fox Sports 2.
"Our 'secret,' admittedly a very poorly kept one, is now revealed," said Fox Sorts Media Group co-President and co-Chief Operating Officer Eric Shanks, in the announcement Tuesday. "Fans are ready for an alternative to the establishment, and our goal for FS1 is to provide the best in-game experience possible, complemented by informative news, entertaining studio shows and provocative original programming."
The press release on Fox Sports 1 touts lots of names sports fans will recognize – including Terry Bradshaw, Erin Andrews and Howie Long, expected to join a rotating squad of hosts for "Fox Football Daily," a 6 pm extension of Fox NFL Sunday.
The channel also promises Fox Sports Live, a news franchise shaping up as their version of ESPN's SportsCenter with an 11 pm nightly program scheduled with the channel launch and a morning show coming in Jan. 2014 coinciding with Fox's telecast of the Super Bowl.
There's a mobile app, Fox Sports Go, and plans to move ahead with a unique "double box" commercial format. The double box, which debuted on Fox Sports broadcasting in January, runs a commercial message on most of the screen during a sporting event, relegating images of the action to a smaller corner.
Another version of the "double box," which the release for Fox Sports 1 claimed could boost a 62 percent increase in brand recall for advertisers, would have advertising displayed during game play in a box, perhaps like a ticker.
But even with all these bells and whistles announced today, I'm most interested in the guy who opened his mouth the day before: Regis Philbin.
At age 81, Philbin hasn't been in the target demographic for sports broadcasters for close to a half-century. And the program he will host, featuring sports fans, celebrity guests and sports professionals in a live show broadcast from New York City, sounds a bit like "First Take"-meets-"Live with Regis and Kathie Lee."
But it may also show Fox's willingness to play in a different sandbox than ESPN – offering a product with a little more showbiz juice and entertainment value than the Worldwide Leader, to win the war by offering something different.
That hasn't been the case so far with the other big-name entrants into the cable sports channel game, NBC Sports Network and the CBS Sports Network.
Both of those channels debuted with big sports media names – NBC has Bob Costas and CBS has Jim Rome – along with lots of corporate synergy and a focus on snapping up sports rights to game ESPN couldn't grab.
But in the same way that conservative-oriented Fox News Channel beat CNN by going after its weakness – that conservative news viewers, who dominate news viewing in cable TV, saw CNN as too liberal – perhaps Philbin's presence signals an attempt to beat ESPN where they are weakest: in entertainment.
In a November article for Sports Business Journal which predicted an August 2013 start date for Fox Sports 1, writer John Ourand cited a "sizzle reel" video making the rounds among sports media insiders showing male focus group members dinging ESPN for its East Coast bias and awards show, the ESPYs.
With 22 regional sports networks also in the fold and a stake in the New York Yankees' YES Network, Fox seems uniquely positioned to try and do to ESPN and the sports world what Fox News Channel has done to CNN and news reporting.
The only question left, is whether that will wind up being a good things for the sports world or for fans.
According to the network's press release, here's some of the material Fox Sports 1 will offer:
"COLLEGE BASKETBALL – Dozens of exclusive prime time games on Monday and Thursday nights, plus Saturday and Sunday coverage of the Big 12, Pac-12 and Conference USA.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL – Led by Notre Dame at Stanford, the Big Ten Championship Game and Pac-12 Championship Game (2014) on FOX, dozens of exclusive, live games from the Pac-12, Big 12 and Conference USA on Thursday nights and Saturdays.

Kendall Jenner, from "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," and Harry Styles, from singing group One Direction, have been dating for several months, but now it looks as if their relationship may be in trouble. According to Wetpaint, Feb. 18, 2014, Harry may be going in different directions with other women.
On Feb. 17, 2014, during London's Fashion Week, Harry sat in the front row to watch as his ex-girlfriend, Cara Delevingne, walked down the runway sporting Giles Deacon designs. However, when it was Kendall's turn to walk the runway wearing clothes designed by Giles Deacon, Harry was noticeably absent.
On Valentine's Day, Harry was seen partying with Sky Ferreira. According to Wetpaint, a source said, "The two of them were together for most of the night and seemed all over each other — whispering in each other's ears and giggling." The source continued to say, "Harry and Sky left at the same time and looked very merry — they were stumbling down the stairs."
Later that night, Cara met up with Harry and Sky. Cara's sister, Poppy, also joined the party. Speculation is abounding whether Harry would rather be back with Cara. Reports have Cara seeing Michelle Rodriguez from "The Fast and The Furious."
Is the One Direction star interested in Kendall or is she just someone to spend time with as he tries to get Cara back? It seems that Harry may not be serious about his relationship with Kendall.

Same Sex Marriage has been put on Hold in Utah - Photo Credit - ABC-4 News
Same-Sex couples can no longer do the happy wedded bliss dance in Utah due to a temporary halt of marriage licenses to gay couples due to the U.S. Supreme Court, reported CNN. This ruling allows Utah state officials to uphold their state ban on gay marriages while the federal court judge's decision is appealed.
For many Utah residents who voted in favor of traditional biblical marriage principles which support marriage between a man and a woman, Federal Court District Judge Robert Shelby 's decision last month was a blow. The judge decided that the state same-sex marriage ban was somehow unconstitutional when it forbid lesbians and gays from being legally married.
The federal judge relied upon the "Equal Protection and Due Process" safeguard of the U.S. Constitution to decide that gay couples were being deprived of their rights due to the Utah state ban. The 2004 ban had been supported and approved by Utah voters which coincide with the general principled beliefs of the state's residents.

Thanks for the information.
Well, gee.
If you look at the picture at the top of this page with 2 babies in arms, I can only wonder:
If she and her cannot get married, how can these two kids have both a mom and mother?
There have been many great empires and countries where and when moral decline became the norm, that societies collapsed. Morality matters and when families collapse the children are the one's suffering the most. Homosexuality is not okay. The courts are collapsing right before our eyes when they rule based on the political winds. In light of this, it's fair to ask what is moral?
May Utah prevail! Along with other states that have it defined in their Constitutions that marriage is between one man and one woman.
Richard, you are 100% correct
The Courts don't care about what the people want this is no longer a government for and by the people. This is just a stall in the end the perverts will marry. We have lost freedom and I personally think the only way we get it back is with a lot of blood!
Time for the States to inform the Fed, this is not your business and your decisions will be ignored!
Hooray for Utah! Now make it stick! Maybe other states will do the same.

Tri-Hearter: Fall Transition
-Bill Plock, 8-15-2014
It's time for yet another transition, T3 and away from triathlons for now. Almost two weeks have passed since Ironman Boulder and it feels like a year. My lungs however won't seem to entirely let go of the effort and make their frustration known when I do things like race up a flight of stairs. But, they need to rally in two weeks for my next adventure in Crested Butte.
I plan to tackle the West Elk Bicycle Classic covering 134 miles of pure Colorado with a route touching several ecosystems showing the broad range of beauty our state has to offer. Along the way we will climb about 10,000 feet with one spectacular view after another. Having spent the last few months preparing for Ironman Boulder, too often my rides were lost in worry about watts and heart rates and maintaining this or hitting that. Not to say I didn't take in the beauty of the roads, but certainly the environment took a back seat.
The West Elk is a timed tour providing for a competitive flavor so I'm told. I suppose some bragging rights can be found and I'm pretty sure the field of cyclists will be fairly hardcore.
For Bill's entire article click here.
Bill is absolutely correct. There will be some hard-core cyclists in the mix on August 31st. In fact, today's USA Pro Challenge will roll through portions of this very ride. This picture from Steephill shows mile 8 of the West Elk route from 2012. Check out miles 100-134 today.
Who will climb the monster Kebler fastest? Will they be able to keep the lead on the descent? The final climb up to Mt CB? Jens Voigt? Tom Danielson? Tejay van Garderen? Best of luck to the Pro's and to every one who will be taking the West Elk Bicycle Classic on August 31st. Should be a wild ride.

The congressman from California becomes the number two Republican in the House following Eric Cantor's shock primary defeat.
22:37, UK, Thursday 19 June 2014
House Republicans have elected Kevin McCarthy to fill the majority leader seat being vacated following Eric Cantor's shock primary defeat.
Mr McCarthy, from California, will become the party's number two behind Speaker of the House John Boehner.
He was previously ranked third among GOP members, serving as House majority whip.
Mr McCarthy, 49, defeated Idaho's Raul Labrador in the secret ballot contest to pick Mr Cantor's successor.
The ballot totals were not immediately disclosed after the vote on Thursday.
A day ahead of the vote, Rep Richard Hudson of North Carolina commented on Mr McCarthy's leadership style.
He said: "Kevin seems to fly by the seat of his pants a little bit.
"He takes his coat off for every meeting, he rolls up his sleeves, and he's not worried about being formal and having to look polished."
Mr Cantor announced last week that he would resign from the majority leader post after losing his re-election bid against little-known, tea party-backed challenger David Brat.
His defeat in Virginia sent shockwaves through the Republican party, and came just one week after another tea party-backed candidate forced veteran Senator Thad Cochran into a run-off election in Mississippi.
Mr Cantor, whose term in Congress will come to an end in January, will remain majority leader through July 31.

Sometimes, macarons -- the little French pastries that look like colorful mini hamburgers -- can be a lot of, to quote Gertrude Stein, "There is no there there." Some of them out there are colorful, but just don't make an impression on the palate, like cotton candy or Necco wafers. Well, get ready for a palate awakening with Dana's Bakery! I was very happy to be hosted to experience them.
Here's a little background info about this NYC baker who mails her creations all over:
She enrolled in the Pastry and Baking program at New York's Institute of Culinary Education, and graduated with honors.
Drawn to macarons for their delicate beauty and distinct texture, Dana was surprised by the lack of variety in flavors. Pairing these traditional treasures with familiar flavors, she created an artisanal line of American flavor inspired macarons. From Red Velvet to S'mores, these all-American favorites are designed to please the palate with a comforting sense of nostalgia.
I tried March's flavor of the month, MalloMac, a gluten-free spin on the classic Mallomar. It's a brown sugar "gram" shell with homemade marshmallow coated in a chocolate. It has a rich flavor and texture; it will satisfy the folks who love traditional candy flavors, as well as the people who want a delicate, pop in your mouth confection.
All of Dana's Bakery macarons are gluten-free, made with almond flour and Kosher-Dairy. You've seen them in such major media as Today, Star, Conde' Nast Traveler, Bridal Guide, New York and Martha Stewart Weddings.

Candidates' Perception of Training and Self-Efficacy in Traditional and Alternative Teacher Preparation Programs.
Date: May 2003
Creator: Thompson, Tierney M.
Description: This research was encouraged by the tremendous demand for teachers. Two million new teachers will be needed in the United States over the next decade. The teacher shortage has school administration, school boards, education agencies, and institutions of higher education investigating how to train and retain more teachers. Alternative certification programs have been developed to address the teacher shortage. This study examined the effectiveness of traditionally and alternatively certified teachers in two separate programs with regard to their self-efficacy, perception of their training, and their ExCET scores. Traditional candidates (10) and alternative candidates (74) were examined using survey research. According to this data on self-efficacy, perception of training, and ExCET passing rates, there is no significant difference between those teachers who receive traditional training and those who are trained in alternative certification programs.

An Assessment of the Effectiveness of the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program at the University of North Texas: A Pilot Study
Date: May 2004
Creator: Goddard, Michael
Description: This study seeks to determine the effectiveness of the Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success (CHAMPS)/Life Skills program at the University of North Texas, as perceived by the student athletes who participate or participated in this program. The study attempts to measure the extent to which the student athletes feel that the program had value; if they received helpful information to support them through their college career to career transition; if the student athletes felt that the program provided them with skills to encourage better self-esteem; and if they believed that the CHAMPS/Life Skills program provided them with leadership and character education. The study, conducted in the Fall of 2003, had 163 respondents. An instrument was developed to determine student athletes' perceptions of the effectiveness of the CHAMPS/Life Skills program at UNT. The instrument consisted of 30 questions using a Likert-type scale. A Mann-Whitney U, a non-parametric t-Test, was utilized to analyze the data. This type of t-Test was used because it is specifically designed to compare the means of the same variable with two different groups and account for non-homogeneous groups. The lack of homogeneity was very likely influenced by the unequal group sizes. Generally, all aspects of the ...

The Effects of Bilingual Education on Reading Test Scores: Can Dual-immersion Support Literacy for All Students?
Date: May 2005
Creator: Ridley, Natalie D.
Description: Dual-immersion is a bilingual education method offered that places English as a first language (EFL) and English language learner (ELL) students in the same classroom to learn two languages at the same time. This study examines whether second language acquisition through dual-immersion supports literacy for both ELL and EFLS children over time. Students' scores on standardized tests (ITBS, TAKS, Logramos, Stanford 9, and Aprenda) were studied to assess the impact, if any, of dual-immersion instruction vs. regular/bilingual education on reading development. Scores from 2000 through 2004 were gathered and analyzed for students enrolled in a dual-immersion class which started in kindergarten in 2000. These scores were compared to scores of students enrolled in regular and bilingual education classrooms for the same amount of time at the same school to examine whether there was an effect for students in the dual-immersion class. It was found that no significant difference existed between the groups. All groups were performing at a passing level on the standardized tests. The dual-immersion class was performing as well as the regular education class on standardized tests in both English and Spanish.

An Investigation of Relationships Between Teacher and Administrator Knowledge and Perception of the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills and Student Performance
Date: August 2001
Creator: Newton, William Frazier
Description: The purpose of this study was to (1) gather information regarding knowledge of TAAS and perceptions (attitudes) about TAAS (excluding the current battery of End of Course Tests) from teachers and administrators; (2) relate teacher and administrator knowledge and perceptions of the test to student test performance as reported in the Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) Reports. Answers to the following questions were sought: 1. To what extent do teachers and administrators possess different levels of knowledge regarding TAAS, and different attitudes toward TAAS about its purpose and usefulness? 2. Are differences in teacher and administrator knowledge of TAAS related to student performance? 3. Are differences in teacher and administrator attitude toward TAAS related to student performance? Information was collected, by means of a twenty-six-item survey measuring teacher and administrator knowledge and attitude toward TAAS. The selected schools were chosen from schools rated as either exemplary or low performing by the state accountability system. The data were examined using Descriptive Statistics (Mean, Median, Mode, Standard Deviation) and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). ANOVA was performed to determine if a significant variance existed between the responses of teachers and administrators and also between exemplary and lowperforming schools. Exemplary and low performing schools ...

An Evaluation and Analysis of Teachers' Codes of Ethics
Date: 1946
Creator: Enlow, Nannie Holland
Description: The problem of this thesis was to study the codes of thirteen other states and, in addition, the codes of Texas and the National Education Association, were selected because of the realization that a very small per cent of the teaching profession knows of the existence of such codes and a still smaller per cent knows anything at all of the content of the codes.

Reisinger stated, during the supervisors' Monday meeting, that the commission found he improperly accounted for his time and failed to file necessary financial statements.
Reisinger said he has paid back money he owed, but didn't say how much or to whom.
No commission ruling on Reisinger had been issued by late today.
Reisinger left the zoning job in 2008 over what he said were philosophical differences. He ran for supervisor last year, defeating a re-election bid from Dan Wyrick.
Wyrick was cited for ethics violations in 2006. The Ccmmission ruled he had abused his authority in approving payments to himself for township labor that was performed in his supervisor role. He was ordered to repay $1,000.

Whether you want a single class or an entire degree, online college courses offer several advantages over the traditional classroom counterpart. Higher student demand has contributed to 77 percent of institutions offering at least some online college courses. Web-based colleges, such as Phoenix University, offer entire degree programs online.
Distance Learning
Historically, distance learning meant going to a classroom and experiencing a class taught by an instructor in a different location via a television connection. Since the early 21st century, online colleges have helped broaden the notion of distance learning. Online classes allow you to attend school essentially anywhere where you can connect to the Web. Thus you can take a two-week trip to Florida mid-semester and still keep up with daily course requirements. This benefit also minimizes commuting for local students and cuts down on related travel costs.
When you attend college online, you can create your own classroom environment. Instead of sitting at a desk in a row and watching an instructor lecturing with PowerPoint and a white board, you can set up your own desk or study spot and attend school in your pajamas. You can also plan your class time around your work schedule and other personal activities to make it fit your schedule.
Technology Skill Development
Typically, a basic understanding of a computer and the Web are necessary to get started with an online course. However, your technology skills will likely grow exponentially in two to four years if you dedicate yourself to the learning process. Online students get to experience virtual discussion forums, use email for regular communication, conduct research on the Web, complete tests using software tools and often engage with other students through social media and video watching.
You can save a lot of money with an online college as well. Online universities often have lower tuition and fees than traditional colleges because of their more efficient cost structure and fewer physical buildings. You might pay slightly higher per class tuition rates for online courses at traditional colleges. However, you also save money on gas and transportation, and your schedule is more flexible, which allows you to work more regularly. This is especially important to adult learners returning to school who need to maintain full-time employment.
