For a cable modem, go with the Motorola SURFboard SB5100. Best modem out there. Shoot for a target price of $40-$50, that's what they go for when they're on sale. Newegg frequently has deals on them.
What about this ... Staples has the Belkin Wireless 802.1g (54G) Broadband Router (F5D7230-4)for $24.94Originally Posted by dehawk666
(Reg. $69.98 - $10 Savings - $35 Mail-in Rebate = $24.94) + sales tax and Free Shipping (for orders over $50)
PS Bestbuy may have a D-Link Cable Modem for free after rebate if you sign-up for High-speed internet service through them (available only in stores). To see the ad, check out bestbuy.com and click on link in the upper left corner that says "weekly ad", then search keyword "DCM 202"
I'm assuming he already has high speed cable service. If you don't, let me know your provider and I'll let you know the best deal. I can most likely get you a Motorola modem free plus a lot of incentives for signing up.
comcast , they want 3$ a month for the cable modem rental , so since i wanna buy a woreless router anyway thought i wd get both ...any ideas? Im starting the service on monday

Yeah, the best way to go is to go through Circuit City. Here's your step by step guide.
1. Go to Circuit City.
2. Grab the SB5100 Motorola modem and a Comcast self install kit (useful for the high quality RG6 cables and splitter).
3. Go find someone and tell them you want to activate service.
4. The deal should be that the modem is around $80 minus mail in rebates which makes it free. They also should give you a $75 CC gift card. The service is $19.99 for 6 months. Not bad...
5. Take the modem home, plug it in, make sure it syncs up to the cable line, check your computer, and see if you're online. Comcast used to have you manually call in the MAC ID addresses but now they "self provision" the modems. Not sure how it works, but you should be online if your cable line is good once you plug it in.
6. If your modem isn't going online but is syncing, call them up and ask them to manually provision the modem so that you'll get online. If the modem isn't syncing, it's probably a cable line problem and you'll have to call them if you don't know what you're doing to fix it yourself.
7. Either way, call them and make sure that they have you on the $19.99 for 6 months rate code, many times they forget about it.
It comes out to a free Motorola (the best) modem after rebates, a $75 Circuit City gift card for signing up, and a special promotion of $19.99 for 6 months on service. The service is then $42.95. I use Comcast right now and am very happy.
Good luck, this is the best way to get Comcast. I hook up many clients through this method and the incentives are nice and Circuit City is the best place to go to get it done trouble free. Good luck, post if you have questions.
Is it a monthly thing after that , or do i have to sign up for a year ?, also where would i plug the cable in at home , as in how would i know if i get the service there...thanks so much man

any idea if i can do it through best buy?

There seem to be several deals at BestBuy depending on if you're a Comcast Cable Customer or not. For example, if you're a Comcast Cable customer, it seems you get the rate for the first 6 months at $19.99/mo (Offer expires: 12/31/2004) as well as a $60 gift check. After 6 months, your rate is $42.95/mo.Originally Posted by dehawk666
Go to this BestBuy WebPage, click on the red "compare plans" button, then provide your phone# and address info to see what's available for you. Once it figures out all the service plans available to you, you can see all the tiny details about the various offers by clicking on the links under the word "plan". You can order your service here too. This Bestbuy Webpage says with Comcast, that you get a D-link high-speed DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem for free after high-speed internet activation...but this and the $60 gift check are online offers that expire on 10/30/2004 so you don't have much time left.
Of note, when I was calling my local store just to find out about signing up for high-speed Internet through BestBuy, I had a tough time getting any help or info from their sales person. Erik's Circuit City deal may be the better way to go since it's hassle-free dealing with their people.

Comcast has no contracts. You can cancel at any time without penalty. This is another advantage of Comcast over DSL. Although Comcast is more expensive than DSL in most areas, Comcast's reliability is great and so are the speeds.
Yeah, I've tried and tested the Circuit City program many times. I find that there are more problems activating through BestBuy. I once went in with someone I was working for and they couldn't activate because their computers were down. That's the last time I went there, because the Circuit City incentives are usually better anyway, and I've never had a hassle with the people there. Just find someone who knows how to activate Comcast plans and you'll have no trouble. Circuit City's rebates are pretty good as well.
Also, the Motorola modem is much better than the D-Link, so there's another advantage of Circuit City as well.

It really matters what you are going to use it for. If you're going to be using it for transferring large files from one computer to another on your network, then G (54mbps) is the way to go. If you just want to share your high speed internet, then 11mbps (B speed) is way faster than your Comcast internet is going to go anyway, so it doesn't matter. Linksys and Netgear are two great name brands. Belkin also makes a good router, surprisingly. I have a Belkin 802.11b router at home to get my dad's company laptop online and it does the job. There are frequently Belkin networking deals. I got their 802.11b router and an 802.11b PCMCIA card for $30 AR a while back. I wouldn't recommend any generic wireless routers. If you can get a good price on a Linksys router, then definitely go for it. Linksys is a great brand.
if you could get comcast, get it. they have a great deal, 6 months for 19.99, plus you get a webcam ..... ok so the webcam aint that great, but its still a good deal. but once the 6 months are up, they start charging you $55.00 unless you use their digital cable which would save you about $45.00 on your cable modem, but then the digital cable is about 50 bucks................ its the best deal that i know of though. and about a wireless router, dont get a netgear, they just generally stink. they always loose connection. i had a B though, maybe a G wouldnt be so bad. but i think you just should play it safe and get a linksys router.
Thanks erik , i phoned CC they told me that there was no 75$ cc card on comcast deals , im looking through the site to see if i can find anything

Kory Faulkner must take shots at the end zone on Saturday.
Aug 28, 2013
By Tom Weber
CARBONDALE, Ill. - Southern Illinois will be a heavy underdog at Illinois on Saturday. That's not exactly breaking news for Saluki football fans.
Perhaps you're tired of hearing how an FCS team isn't supposed to beat an FBS program, much less one that plays in the Big Ten. You're aware that Illinois has 85 players on scholarship, compared to 63 for your heroes in maroon and white. You wince when reminded of the last time the teams met, when Illinois drubbed Southern, 35-3, in 2010.
Yes, the deck is stacked against Southern Illinois, but all hope is not lost.
If you're looking for a blueprint on how an FCS team can beat a Big Ten team, the 2006 Salukis rendered a textbook example in their 35-28 win over Indiana. To pull off an upset at Illinois, the 2013 team must replicate these keys victory.
Establish the running game. In 2006, the Salukis out-gained Indiana on the ground, 244-76. Hall of Fame running back Arkee Whitlock rushed for 103 yards, and he had help from a balanced attack that included Kansas transfer John Randle (37 yards), fullback J.T. Wise (42 yards), and backup QB Justin Allen, who carried four times for 37 yards out of the Wildcat formation.
Likewise, this year's team has multiple backfield threats in FBS transfers Mika'il McCall, Ken Malcome and Malcolm Agnew. They have speed in Tay Willis and LaSteven McKinney. Quarterback Kory Faulkner is athletic enough to pick up yardage on his own. It will take a combined effort from this group, behind an improved offensive line, to generate the type of rushing yardage SIU will need to be competitive.
Similarly, the 2013 Saluki defense is geared to stop the run. Bubba Schweigert's 3-4 scheme is counting on stout nose guard play from TJ Beelen and Raysean Golden to free up its speedy corps of linebackers. If the Salukis can't slow the Illinois run game, it will have little chance of winning.
Avoid an early knockout punch. It took just 10 minutes for Indiana to build a 14-0 lead in 2006. Fans were heckling the Salukis and eager to enjoy a blowout. What did the Salukis do? Battle back, of course! A key turning point was an interception by Craig Turner in the end zone that prevented IU from taking a three-touchdown lead.
The last time SIU played a BCS opponent was in 2011, when Mississippi bolted to a 21-0 lead in the first six minutes. Although Southern outscored the Rebels, 24-21, the rest of the way, it could not overcome its slow start. The longer SIU stays in the game at Illinois, the more pressure will build on the home team.
Make the big play when it's available. Quarterback Nick Hill only completed 10 passes at Indiana, but four of them went for touchdowns and he didn't throw an interception. Four different receivers caught TD passes. Likewise, Kory Faulkner needs to take shots at the end zone. He also has a variety of weapons, including tight ends MyCole Pruitt and Adam Fuehne, who can produce in the red zone.
Play mistake-free football. The Salukis turned the ball over only once at Indiana on a fumble. They must avoid the dramatic momentum swing that comes when the home team makes a huge play off a turnover. At Ole Miss, Paul McIntosh threw an interception on Southern's first drive, and it was returned to SIU's four yardline. One play later it was a 14-0 ballgame. On the Salukis' second drive, they went 3-and-out, punted and had the kick returned 67 yards for a TD. Southern must avoid big mistakes in Champaign.
If the Salukis can do these five things, they will upset Illinois.
How much difference is there in talent level between a Big Ten and an MVFC team? Just read through the bios of the Illinois starters and you'll noticed that many of them were 3 or 4-star recruits out of high school. Their third-string quarterback is a 4-star recruit named Aaron Bailey. Those type of players rarely land at an FCS program.
Here's another way to quantify the talent gap between the conferences. Last year, Illinois had four players selected in the NFL Draft. That's the same number of draft picks the Salukis have had in the last 20 years combined.
The number one concern for Southern's defense is Illinois senior quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase. This is the same quarterback who carved Southern's defense up three years ago as a true freshman, completing 14-of-18 passes for 229 yards and two touchdowns. During his first two seasons, he had 30 touchdown passes and only 16 interceptions. He also ran for nearly 1,500 yards and 11 touchdowns. Clearly, he's a dangerous dual threat. In 2011, he was the MVP of the bowl victory over UCLA. Ignore Scheelhaase's 2012 statistics (4 TDs, 8 INTs). He was hurt much of the year after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the season opener.
Illinois has a new offensive coordinator in Bill Cubit, a guy who had some high-powered offenses during his eight-year tenure as head coach at Western Michigan. In an interview after the team's spring game, he was pretty candid about the shortcomings of the offense he inherited. He said the technique of quarterbacks Scheelhaase and Ryan O'Toole "wasn't very pretty," and "route running was not a big priority here" for the receivers.
Nevertheless, Cubit has a solid reputation as an offensive guru. He's talked about making the Illinois attack more north-and-south, speeding up the tempo, and devising special packages to fit personnel groups. Looking at game tape of Western Michigan won't help SIU much, since he had different personnel. The Saluki coaches will need to adjust on the fly on Saturday.
After an unseasonably mild first half of August, the last week or so has seen temperatures sky-rocket. Saturday's projected high of 94, with a heat index near 100, will test the conditioning of both teams. On one hand, Illinois has the advantage of 22 more scholarships, but on the other hand, SIU is accustomed to wholesale substitutions on defense.

Verizon's Motorola Droid Xyboard tablets will be updated to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
Well, this is something that doesn't happen often. The carrier-specific versions of the Xyboard tablets by Motorola (specifically, those for Verizon) will get a software update, whereas the Wi-Fi-only models won't. Yes, you read that right. And no, we haven't gotten it backwards. Things usually tend to happen the exact other way round, with Wi-Fi-only tablets getting a lot more updates than carrier-specific models. But such is life in the Android world, it brings us surprises sometimes.
Motorola has updated the website where it lists information about future software upgrades (or lack thereof) for its devices. And sure enough, both the Droid Xyboard 8.2 and the Droid Xyboard 10.1 (pictured below) for Verizon now get a message saying an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update will be provided. This while the Wi-Fi-only Xyboard 8.2 and Xyboard 10.1 "will remain on Android 4.0.4 (ICS)", according to the same source.
Furthermore, Android Police has managed to confirm with some 'Verizon contacts' that this info is in fact accurate, and Jelly Bean (well, at least the first iteration) is indeed headed to Big Red's Xyboards. When it will arrive, though, is still unknown. And we don't expect it to be anytime soon. That said, an update is an update, and an update is always good, so kudos to Verizon here for probably requesting an update that Motorola itself wasn't bothered to provide for its Wi-Fi-only tablets.

China's 2013 growth matches slowest rate since 1999
By Fran WANG, AFP
January 20, 2014, 2:26 pm TWN
Beijing - China's economy last year registered flat growth of 7.7 percent, maintaining its slowest expansion in more than a decade as the government warned Monday of "deep-rooted problems" including a mountain of local authority debt.
Gross domestic product (GDP) expansion for the October-December quarter also came in at 7.7 percent, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said, slowing from 7.8 percent in the previous three months.
The 2013 GDP figure was the same as that for 2012 -- which was the worst rate of growth since 1999 -- and matched the median forecast in a survey of 14 economists by AFP. It exceeded the government's growth target for the year, which was declared as 7.5 percent.
Growth for the fourth quarter was better than the AFP survey's median forecast of 7.6 percent.
"Generally speaking China's economy showed good momentum of stable and moderate growth in 2013, which is (a) hard-earned achievement," NBS chief Ma Jiantang told reporters, as the agency also reported positive data for industrial output, retail sales and fixed asset investment.
"However, we should keep in mind that the deep-rooted problems built up over time are yet to be solved in what is a critical period for China's economy," Ma said.
Since the 1980s, China has shaken off the lethargy of the Communist command economy with market reforms that brought it years of blistering growth, making its GDP second only to the US and establishing it as the world's biggest trading power in goods.
But the country is widely expected to face slower expansion in the years ahead.
Its leaders under President Xi Jinping say they are committed to transforming China's growth model to one where consumers and other private actors play the leading role, rather than huge and often wasteful state investment.
For 2014, the median forecast in the AFP survey of economists was for growth to slow to 7.5 percent.
"Judging from the data, our outlook for 2014 remains that China's economy will continue slowing down in the first half," Wendy Chen, Shanghai-based analyst for Nomura International, told AFP.
Within the past decade Chinese growth was regularly in double digits, but it has been on a slowing trend and the 2013 result shows GDP growth in single figures for three consecutive years for the first time since 2002.

This Product RocksThis is probably one of the best conditioners that I have ever used. At first I was skeptical that this would work for my african american hair. But it did work. It made my hair super silky, by putting to much in my hair it became too silky. I had to rinse my hair a little longer than usual, which was fine with me.

Wow It Really Did Work!I am a guy with dark brown hair that i had a bunch of slices of platinum blonde put in and WOW was my hair FA RYED!!! I usually use Redken Extreme shampoo, conditioner and anti snap and i found this in my closet and remembered how much it made my hair brittle when it was brown and super healthy, which is cuz of all the protein. But then i thought, wow thats exactly what my hair needs now! i used it for about 10 minutes on my hair and my hair was so resilient and strong and i had NO fried ends when i straightened my hair. It was awesome. Of course the Biolage smell is heavenly, which is a big plus. I still love my Redken Extreme tho, but this is definately worth your money spent!Jan 17, 2009Kris / Nampa, Idaho

Data: Fear often drives spikes in gun sales

Note to potential new gun owners: Now is an awful time to buy.
After recent mass shootings and with federal gun laws somewhat in question, people have been flocking to stores and — often, in the case of new buyers — throwing money at whatever gun is still available on the racks without doing any research first, said Nick Pratka, owner of Brightwater Ventures Firearm Sales in Vancouver.
And that's really not the best way to go about your first purchase, he said.
"Price-gouging is rampant right now," said Pratka, who's owned the store since 2010. "We're kind of operating under the principle that people will remember that we didn't raise our prices when this is over, but this is a very strange time in the industry."
At Pratka's store, guns are marked up about 10 percent to cover shipping, operations and other expenses. A handgun that costs $440 from the manufacturer goes for about $499, he said.
"With the panic, some dealers around here, and many at gun shows, will sell the same gun for $750 to $800, just because they can get away with it right now," Pratka said.
In 2008-'09, when President Obama was first elected, there was a similar panic. People were afraid that all guns would be banned, so they headed to the stores en masse to buy them, Pratka said.
"Whenever there's an election, there's political instability around it, and you get people who buy things because they're worried they won't be able to in the future," Pratka said. "That creates a lot of shortages."
Like most gun store owners across the country, Pratka has had a hard time keeping ammo and guns — especially handguns — on his shelves in the past two months.
Beyond the political issues, customers are also worried about tragic shootings, including those at Clackamas Town Center mall in the Portland area and Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in December, he said.
"My phone's been ringing off the hook," he said. "People are scared after these (mall and school) shootings. All the safe places no longer seem safe. People are realizing that a critical incident, it could happen so fast, that cops wouldn't be there in time."
There's a common slogan-joke among gun owners, he added: "Why do you carry a gun? Because a cop is too heavy."
But buying a gun is not something you want to quickly rush into, especially now, he said.
During the 2008-2009 panic, gun manufacturers ramped up production to meet the demand, opening new facilities and hiring more workers. And then, by about April 2009, the panic ended and demand dropped to previous levels.
"Manufacturers … orders got canceled and they got hung out to dry," Pratka said. "They're not doing that this time. They're just keeping their production steady."
That means there's no extra supply coming to meet the spike in demand.
Also, buying a handgun in Oregon won't save you the sales tax if you live in Clark County, he added.
"Because we're a heavily regulated industry, Washington gets to get its tax," Pratka said. "If you buy in Oregon, you pay fees to transfer your gun here, there's paperwork, shipping costs and Washington requires a use tax of 8.4 percent."
If the current surge in demand is similar to the last one, things should taper off and guns and ammo should return to the shelves by the late spring or summer, he added.
"It's funny, because after that last panic, nobody said another word about it until this December," he said.
Beyond the desire to not get ripped off, the real reason you want to avoid buying a gun during a panic is that you won't get to try a variety of gun types, said Gracie McKee, a National Rifle Association-certified training counselor and chief range safety officer from Vancouver.
Firearms feel different depending on the action, caliber, recoil and other characteristics. When you buy one, you want to make sure you're getting one that feels right for you, she said.
"When you go shopping for a gun, if the store clerk tells you what you want, don't give them your money," McKee said. "It's a very personal experience. I always say, it's like buying underwear."
McKee, 25, runs a gun-related website and blog for women at http://packingpretty.com.
"Everybody's trying to get all sorts of guns right now," McKee said. "But you really want to pick something you can control. You really should try a bunch out before you buy one."
What both McKee and Pratka recommend is going to a range that rents guns to test several of them and how they feel in your hand before deciding what you want.
Two places Pratka recommends for that are the Clark County Gun Club Inc. at the English Pit, an outdoor shooting range in Vancouver, and The Place To Shoot, an indoor range in Portland.
"Always try it before you buy it," Pratka said. "It's better to spend $50 or $60 to try several guns at the range than to make a $400 to $600 mistake."
Another thing to consider while choosing your gun is whether you plan to get a concealed carry permit.
Everybody who buys a gun needs to fill out federal form 4473, which is basically a background check that includes the gun serial number and some questions to screen out felons, drug users and others who are legally forbidden from purchasing a firearm.
"It's a federal form and it looks complicated, but we fill out a lot of it and in reality it's pretty easy," Pratka said.
The firearm seller is required to keep that form on hand and accessible for the FBI or other federal agencies in case the gun is used in a crime.
For a rifle or shotgun, that's all you need.
For a handgun, buyers who do not already have a concealed carry permit also need to fill out a Washington State Department of Licensing Pistol Transfer Application. The form gathers pretty much the same background information as the federal one, but it goes to the Clark County Sheriff's Office for verification, which takes about five days, Pratka said.
If you have a concealed carry permit, which takes about 30 days to get from the Clark County Sheriff's Office, you still need to fill out the second form but, usually, you can take your gun home from the store after a phone call check, Pratka said.
If you want to conceal-carry a gun in Oregon, you have to get a different permit than the one in Washington, and you also have to take a four-hour class, Pratka said.
"Oregon is a whole other thing," he said. "There's no reciprocity between Oregon and Washington, because they disagree about how their permitting processes are done. That, and I think they both probably want the money from the fees."
Permits in each state can be used in several other states with reciprocity, though; Washington permits are good in 25 states, including Idaho and Montana. Oregon permits, if you live in Washington, are good in 17 states.
Open carry means you can have the gun on you, but you have to have it visible on your body if you are in public.
"That's sort of in vogue right now, because it's a way for people to exercise their gun rights," Pratka said.
The advantage of concealed carry in a dangerous situation is that dangerous individuals won't know you have a gun and make you their first target, he said.
"Also, if you want to open carry, go for it — but that tends to draw attention, and some people don't like that," he said.
Either way, you can't bring your gun into areas where firearms are prohibited, such as courthouses and other government buildings — although there are some exemptions in Washington law.
And after you get your gun, it's a great idea to sign up at a gun range for some training so you know how to use it, McKee added.
"For training, I recommend looking for somebody who has certifications," she said. "Look at how many hours they've taught. How much time they've had on the shooting range. And make sure they're insured."
A lot of information is available on the Internet, some good and some bad. But learning as much as you can before you purchase one is always a good plan, Pratka and McKee said.
"Usually an informed buyer is a happy buyer," Pratka said. "You don't want to get stuck with a gun you don't like."

FALLUJA, Iraq Jan 25 (Reuters) - At least nine people were wounded on Friday when Iraqi troops opened fire in the air during clashes with Sunni protesters rallying against Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, officials and witnesses said.
Thousands of Sunni protesters have taken to the streets in western Anbar province since late December in a major challenge to Maliki's fragile government, split among Shi'ites, Sunnis and ethnic Kurds, a year after the last American troops left.
"We have nine wounded, two were hit by army vehicles and the rest were wounded by gunfire," said a senior local government official who asked not to be identified.
A Reuters witness at the scene said troops fired in the air to disperse protesters.
Friday's clashes in Falluja, a predominantly Sunni city 50 km (30 miles) north of capital, erupted after the army arrested three protesters and clashed with rock-throwing demonstrators trying to block a major highway, authorities said.
Since the fall of Saddam Hussein after the U.S.-led invasion a decade ago, many Iraq Sunnis feel they have been marginalised by the country's Shi'ite leadership and believe Maliki is amassing power at their community's expense.

Miss Julia Pardoe Is A Figure Whose Books Shed Light On The 19th Century Ottoman Turkish World.
Miss Julia Pardoe came to Istanbul in 1835 with her father, Thomas Pardoe, a major in the British army, and soon fell in love with the city. Trying to see as much of it as she possibly could during her nine-month sojourn, she published her impressions in a book entitled The City of the Sultan and Domestic Manners of the Turks (London, 1837). Following this book, which was received with great interest, Pardoe connected with her London readers again in 1838 with The Beauties of the Bosphorus. Noteworthy for their impressive engravings, these books rank among the classics of world literature for Julia Pardoe's lively, colorful and intelligent observations and original style.
The engravings in Pardoe's books contain important information about the appearance of Istanbul and the Bosphorus in the 19th century.

Dear Delialah,
After having my second daughter 9 months ago, I have lost 25 of the 40 pounds I gained while pregnant. On top of the 15 that remain from pregnancy weight I also have another 10 pounds from the first pregnancy that I'd like to lose. I have been mildly exercising and eating right, but snacking is my weakness. I always find myself drawn to crunchy comfort snacks like potato chip and pretzels. Is there a healthy alternative you could recommend?
Roberta Westin, Charlotte
Dear Roberta,
Many people find it hard to resist tempting snacks when trying to stick to a weight loss regimen. When we reduce our caloric intake and cut unhealthy foods out of our diet, our body will naturally crave those foods that it is so accustomed to eating. For this reason, it is best to wean yourself off of those unhealthy snacks slowly. Start by replacing one unhealthy snack item a day with a healthier snack alternative. After a few days, replace another unhealthy snack with a healthy one. Since crunchy potato chips are your weakness, try replacing them with some crunchy fruit or veggies. You may not think that would make a difference, but our body is fairly easy to trick, and the crunching of crisp produce may at least satisfy part of your craving.
It is perfectly acceptable to indulge occasionally, and doing so in moderation will not have a negative effect on your weight loss efforts. Your cravings for chips may never go away completely. If you find yourself yearning for potato chips, consider soy chips instead. Soy chips are a healthy alternative to other types of snack foods. Unlike the bland, cardboard textured soy chips from years ago, many of today's soy chip manufacturers produce chips that are not only good for you, but taste good as well. Choosing the right brand of soy chips will obviously depend on your personal taste preference, however, some brands consistently rank higher among consumers than others.
According to Good Housekeeping, Atkins Crunchers hold the number one spot among readers. The crunchy texture and thin shape scored high because of its close resemblance to traditional potato chips. Those with high blood pressure should be careful, as there is a high sodium content in these chips.
Available in salted, cheese and barbecue flavors, Glenny's is a popular soy chip choice. In the Good Housekeeping taste test, the standard salt chips were middle of the road, but the cheese and barbecue flavors beat out all other brand and stole the number one spot. Consumers liked the authentic taste and the crispy texture. Not just an ordinary salted ship, flavors listed on the Glenny's website include Apple-Cinnamon, Creamy Ranch, Onion and Garlic, White Cheddar and Caramel.
Recommended by shapefit.com, Genisoy baked chips are low in fat and high in protein. They are available in ranch, garlic, rosemary and oil, sea salt and pepper, cinnamon streusel, chocolate and naked. Although the salted and cheese varieties ranked at the bottom of the barrel amongst Good Housekeeping readers, the barbecue variety came out on top, sharing first place with 2 other brands.
Newman's Own Soy Crisps snagged the top spot in The San Francisco Chronicle's soy chip taste test. Out of 5 brands, Newman's Own was ranked as the number one, best tasting chip. Made with all natural ingredients like organic soy and organic rice, these chips are high in protein and are gluten free. The 4 flavors available are lightly salted, barbecue, white cheddar and cinnamon sugar. Nutrition information for each variety is available on the company website.

OCD And Me
On Sunday, I attended the Ministry of Mirth. I didn't do a set, but I did introduce the compere.
Here's my problem.
I make a note of what I say at every gig. Every performance is recorded in a Word document and stored on my computer. This is perfectly sensible – it helps me to avoid repeating myself at the same venue, and it's a way of getting familiar with my material (I also have an Ideas file).
It is, additionally, helpful to know how many gigs I've done. But a problem arises when I can't decide whether something is a gig.
I decided that the podcast I did at the start of the year was one, and that the announcements I made at a bench press competition were not. OK, phew. But I'm not sure how to classify the introduction I did on Sunday. Was it a short set? Or not a set at all? I need to know, if I am to know exactly how many gigs I have done.
If it is a set, however short, I also need to record what I said about Al, that night's compere. And maybe I should record it even if it wasn't a set. If so, how do I categorise the Word document?
Such are the apparently trivial concerns that can dominate the mind of a person with OCD. And believe me, this is just the tip of the iceberg. It can get MUCH worse than this, in terms of both content, and how it dominates. At its most rampaging, OCD is a form of brutal torture. Appalling thoughts; irrational, repetitive actions made in a desperate attempt to offset the thoughts; ruminating ALL DAY LONG – these add up to substantial misery.
But the good news is that it hasn't been anything like as bad as it was three years ago and beforehand, and I don't believe it ever will be again. A good psychologist, a commitment to avoiding – forever – the most destructive behaviour, and keeping busy has made an Olympian difference.
I actually regretted introducing Al for a bit, purely because it engendered the doubts I have just described. But that's not a good way to go through life, and it was in fact a privilege to welcome him to the stage.
And it looks as though writing things down can help too. It wasn't a set, and I don't need to make a note of it. So there.
F-k you, OCD.

Ultracapacitor Startup Gets a Big Boost
By Erika Jonietz on October 30, 2009
An MIT spinoff just getting off the ground received a huge helping hand from the U.S. Department of Energy on Monday. FastCAP Systems, of Cambridge, MA, received a two-and-a-half-year, $5.35 million grant in the first round of funding ever issued by the new Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). The company aims to commercialize a nanotube-enhanced ultracapacitor, an energy storage device that could greatly reduce the cost of hybrid and electric vehicles and of fast-responding grid-scale energy storage, making it easier to integrate renewable energy sources such as solar and wind-based power.
"The ARPA-E grant represents the ability to ramp up faster," says Joel Schindall, the MIT professor in whose lab the technology was originally developed. "We now have the resources to do the things that we've been wanting to do for the last few years."

Best driver- Kevin Harvick
Harvick had the best 36-race season, and would have sprinted away with the Sprint Cup title if this were pre-2004. Plus, Jimmie Johnson has already received a profusion of accolades since his record-breaking fifth consecutive title. I am sure he will forgive me for giving the nod to Harvick.
Honorable Mentions: Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, and Jamie McMurray
Worst driver- Kevin Conway
As nice as Conway appears to be in person, he was frequently one of the first cars to lose a lap in each race he competed, and he is not a start and parker. Nevertheless, his name is forever etched on the same list as drivers such as Dale Earnhardt Sr, Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Matt Kenseth, Ryan Newman, and Denny Hamlin as past Rookie of the Year champions. His sponsor Extenze was also the punchline in many jokes this season.
Honorable Mentions: David Ragan, Sam Hornish Jr, Dale Earnhardt Jr, and Scott Speed
Best race- AAA 500 at Texas
On paper, this race was absolutely dominated by Greg Biffle, but it included some exciting racing throughout the pack, a last lap dash between Hamlin and Kenseth, another vintage Kyle Busch meltdown, and a wrestling match between two unlikely suspects, Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton.
Honorable Mentions: Aaron's 499 at Talladega, Daytona 500, Goody's Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville
Worst race- Toyota Save Mart 350 at Infineon
Do not get me wrong, I love road course racing, but this race involved too many unnecessary incidents. It was like a bunch of first-time online simracers racing blindfolded. Add to the chaos the heartbreak on Marcos Ambrose's face after he cut his car off trying to conserve fuel while on his way to an inevitable first career victory. Ho hum, another Johnson victory.
Honorable Mentions: Gillett Fusion Pro-Glide 500 at Pocono, Auto Club 500 at Fontana, and Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400 at Michigan
Best Attitude: Marcos Ambrose
Many were impressed with the way Ambrose handled the agonizing defeat at Infineon, as well as the entire saga surrounding his future team Richard Petty Motorsports. With his future full of uncertainty after leaving a secure ride, Ambrose handled it like a champ. His Nationwide Series victory at Watkins Glen was a popular within the garage.
Honorable Mentions: Jeff Burton, Mark Martin, Jamie McMurray, and Matt Kenseth
Worst Attitude: Kyle Busch
This was too easy. Kyle Busch had a weekend full of meltdowns at Texas that provoked juvenile behavior. Busch hates losing as much as the next guy, but he has not figured out the proper way to handle it. Would we really want it any other way? His classic tantrums provide an abundance of entertainment for us all.
Honorable Mentions: Joey Logano, Kurt Busch, Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin
Best Crew Chief- Chad Knaus
Knaus orchestrated another championship season for team #48. He maintained his composure while trailing Hamlin and the Joe Gibbs Racing team throughout the final stretch of the season, making difficult decisions such as making a crew swap, and gambling on fuel at Phoenix.
Honorable Mentions: Mike Ford (#11), Gil Martin (#29), Kevin Manion (#1), Greg Erwin (#16)
Worst Crew Chief- Shane Wilson (#33)
For the record, Clint Bowyer's crew chief Wilson is excellent at his job. He has built the No. 33 team into the one of the top teams in garage. However, this dreaded award must go to someone, and he is the team leader of the No. 33, the same team that was popped for bending the rules after being warned.
Honorable Mentions: Jay Guy (#12), Lance McGrew (#88), Travis Geisler (#77)

- 1 loaf French bread
- 1/4 cup margarine, approximately
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- 2 teaspoons crushed basil
Instructions:Cut the bread into thin slices. Butter one side of each slice. Sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano and basil. Place butter side down on hot griddle. While it's browning, drizzle olive oil over the bread and sprinkle with remaining herbs and spices. Check the bread often so as not to burn. Turn over so the oil side is down and continue browning the bread. When cooked to your liking, turn off heat and transfer bread to a rack lined with paper towels to absorb excess oils. Allow to cool thoroughly. When cooled, cut into bite size pieces and place in serving bowl alongside salad dish. I've used this as toppings for macaroni and cheese also. Uncut, it can serve as a homemade version of garlic bread with any pasta dish. I've found it to be a very versatile recipe.

These days the cellphone feature on your smartphone is almost an afterthought: Now that gadget in your pocket can also pay your bills, bring you world news and let you video-chat with your daughter (finally, something from The Jetsons came true!).
Samantha Brown's Favorite Travel Appsby | September 4, 2013
Savings on hotels, car rentals, cruises, tours and airfare
Like all road warriors, I have a toolbox of apps on my smartphone that has made traveling much, much easier (although I'd really appreciate an app that would keep it from falling into the toilet). Thanks to these apps I can make more informed decisions, find the information I need when things go wrong, and generally enjoy peace of mind when I'm away from home.
Most airline websites show you a seating layout for their planes. But on SeatGuru — a website with a mobile app — you can find seating plans for more than 700 types of aircraft, and those seats are color-coded red, green and yellow for comfort and convenience. You can look at the charts on SeatGuru to evaluate specific seats for your flight on your airline's site. Obviously, you don't want to choose a red seat, it might not recline, or it may have no window. Other seats might be near a busy galley, which is a real hassle on a long-haul flight. Now, if only SeatGuru could help me avoid seatmates like the guy who felt both armrests were his birthright, or that Ludwig Von Businessman who pounded away on his laptop keyboard as if he were performing at Carnegie Hall.
My TSA
You know you can't bring a firearm or a full-size bottle of shampoo on board, but how about a golf club or jar of homemade jam? Type any item you're unsure of into the "Can I bring my…" space to find out. Put the My TSA app on your phone and you just might spare yourself from kneeling on the airport floor, repacking your non-carry-on items. There's also a traveler's guide with rules regarding passengers with special medical needs.
Sleep Pillow (available for Apple products only)
Lots of "white noise" apps do a good job of lulling you to sleep in a hotel or on a plane, but this one offers especially authentic sound effects. For instance Sleep Pillow doesn't simply offer you "rain," but hard rain, soft rain, rain on leaves, rain on a tent, and my favorite: rain on a car with the metronomic tick of the windshield wipers in the background. Other sound categories include ocean and weather, and you can layer sounds for your own unique mix. Right now my compilation is "Rain on Car" followed by "Train in the Distance" and finally "Soft Wind Chimes." I never make it to the chimes.

Lemann Lecture Series: Monkeys, humans and yellow fever: a case of lethal and costly misinformation in southern Brazil

Between late 2008 and the middle of 2009 an outbreak of sylvatic yellow fever caused the deaths of seven people and more than 2,000 howler monkeys in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. The disease outbreak spread panic among the local human population. Fear of the disease and misinformation disseminated by the media about the role of howler monkeys in the yellow fever cycle led inhabitants of several regions to illegally kill these already regionally threatened primates. In this talk I will make the case that howler monkeys are our allies in detecting the spread of the yellow fever virus by playing an important role as sentinels. The howlers did not cause the re-emergence of this African infectious disease nor did they promote its transmission or its rapid spread through the highly fragmented landscape of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. I also will explain the role of howler monkeys, humans and mosquitoes in the yellow fever cycle, and describe an outreach campaign 'Protect our Guardian Angels' that I launched to inform the public and the media that protecting howler monkeys is a matter of public health. The campaign was successful in getting the support of educational, scientific, governmental (health- and environment-related) and religious institutions, and NGOs, and was effective in changing how the news media presented scientific information to the public.

A question you may be asking yourself is, "Do I really need to attend this program if I've already gone through orientation at another school?" The answer to this question is an enthusiastic YES! Even though you may have gone through many orientation activities in the past, these have not adequately prepared you for a transition into Carlow University. By participating in our fun and interactive programming you will be more prepared academically, and you may also see a familiar face or two on your first day of classes.

Stop Buying Banner Ads
There is a simple formula I use when determining how much money a startup should spend on display advertising in its first year. First, I take whatever budget they had arrived at through careful modeling of estimated traffic, revenue goals and sundry and then I proceed to multiply it by zero. The result is the new budget.
Unless you're selling Yachts or luxury vacations, a few extra dollars in design, PR, SEO, content development or even (rarely) Adwords will go significantly further than trying to generate positive returns off of banners. Even if you happen to be selling Yachts or luxury vacations, you'd probably have just about as much luck handing out flyers at your next mixer.
Save the banners for when you have exhausted every other channel and still have a few dollars burning in your pockets, at that point the awareness generated might be worth the negative financial returns. (Photo Credit)

Eric Clapton, 69, the famed singer and songwriting guitarist, has announced that he is not going to tour with his music anymore. He has made his extremely negative feelings about traveling and touring known while being interviewed recently. He said that life on the road is both unbearable and unapproachable. Thus, according to Huffington Post on Friday, Clapton is retiring from the touring portion of his phenomenal career.
Furthermore, Clapton revealed that his odd ailments may cause him to stop playing the guitar completely. Yet, he doesn't plan to totally quit the music business which has brought him international fame. He will put his efforts into his music's recording studio work rather than on traveling with his music. He summarized his future changes by saying that there are many things he'd still like to do, but he is looking at an eventual total retirement as well.
While speaking to Uncut magazine in an interview, he said that he will allow himself to carry on recording in the recording studio. However, he does not want to "go off the boil" to the point where he starts embarrassing himself. He made no comparison to others that he may feel have stayed in the business too long and done just that – embarrassed themselves.
Of touring and traveling the world specifically, Clapton asserted that the world feels too similar at present. He believes that most countries throughout the world now resemble a different version of America. It is within this scope that he said the road has become unbearable and the road has become unapproachable. He said that it simply takes so long to get anywhere, and it's hostile everywhere. He expressed grave concern about trying to get in and out of airports as well as trying to travel anywhere on planes and in cars. Clapton has one more appearance scheduled for this summer in Poland.

The Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) issues a range of warnings to inform and keep the community safe during significant incidents threatening lives and property.
Warnings give advice to you about the levels of risk and danger and the actions to take.
DFES issues warnings for a wide range of incidents including bushfire, cyclone, tsunami, flood, storm, earthquake and hazardous material spills.
Warning information can be provided in the form of community alerts with the use of the Standard Emergency Warning Signal (SEWS) during emerging situations of extreme danger and by using an Emergency Alert.
For bushfire safety, Fire Danger Ratings (FDR) are also used as a warning to advise people about current fire conditions.
The declaration of a Total Fire Ban (TFB) is another prevention measure to warn you against lighting any fires in the open air and any other activities that may start a fire due to predicted bad fire weather.
Bushfire Warning System
During a bushfire, emergency services will provide as much information as possible through a variety of channels.
Community Alerts
DFES issues Community Alerts for bushfires that threaten lives and property.
The alert level changes to reflect the increasing risk to your life and the decreasing amount of time you have until the fire arrives.
DFES issues the following bushfires warnings:
AdviceA fire has started but there is no immediate danger, this is general information to keep you informed and up to date with developments.
Watch and ActA fire is approaching and conditions are changing, you need to leave or prepare to actively defend to protect you and your family.
Emergency WarningYou are in danger and you need to take immediate action to survive as you will be impacted by fire. An emergency warning may be supported with a siren sound called the Standard Emergency Warning Signal (SEWS).
All ClearThe danger has passed and the fire is under control, but you need to remain vigilant in case the situation changes. It may still not be safe to return home.
Click here for DFES's Alerts and Warnings page
Related information
Fire Danger Rating (FDR)
The FDR is based on forecast weather conditions providing advice about the level of bushfire threat on a particular day. The FDR is based on the forecast weather conditions and gives you advice about the level of bushfire threat on a particular day. When the rating is high, the threat of a bushfire increases.

Enable people and the community to take action to increase safety and reduce the cost associated with flooding.
Flood Warning
Flood Warning provided information to enable timely appropriate action to be taken when flooding is anticipated or occurring. Messages are issued for specific river basins and, where possible, will provide sufficient information to explain what is happening, where it is happening, how it will affect the recipient of the message and what possible evasive actions could be deployed.
Cyclone Warning System
The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) issues cyclone advice to the public in the form of a Cyclone Watch and Cyclone Warning.
DFES then issues Community Alerts to keep people informed and safe.

Wedding Weight
With the holidays just around the corner, it is easy to make excuses to forgo the gym, indulge in extra calories and over stress. But with a wedding dress to fit into in less than six months, adding on the pounds is out of the question.
To make sure my dress will be taken in during my first fitting instead of having the seams taken out, I am committed to a 5am cardio session and I try to keep my sweets to a minimum but with all the tempting treats around, sticking to a plan is sometimes a little tough. Here are a few tips to help maintain your figure during the holidays.
Skip the Gym: You don't need an expensive membership or a fancy home gym to stay in shape. With a little will power and creativity you can turn your living room into a personal training paradise. When I can't make it to the gym I grab a jump rope and start skipping. Jumping rope for 25 minutes will burn about 200 calories and is a great way to tone-up when you're in a time crunch. Remember moving for at least 20 minutes is better than not moving at all. For more fast workout routines check out Shape.com.
Gain Control: Limit your portion size and indulge in moderation. To keep your portions controlled opt for a smaller plate and limit the amount of food you pile on. Skipping seconds will also help save calories but if that is not an option, try replacing soda with water and just say no to holiday cocktails. To figure out how many calories you will be consuming this holiday season, check out this Thanksgiving calorie calculator.
Don't Stress! Over eating, forgetting about the gym and taking some time out just to relax is perfectly acceptable. Just don't use the holidays as an excuse to binge until the new year. If you happen to over indulge don't fret, you can always burn off the extra calories shopping!
Happy Holidays!
My day job has allowed me to plan and attend some of the swankiest affairs around town, so when tables were turned and my event was on the line only the best would suffice. But with only a shoestring budget to work with and Veuve Clicquot taste, planning a wedding is a little more daunting than I ever imaged.

I was watching the news for the Los Angeles area the other day and was really struck by the stories and their negative spin. I know there are positive things happening in Los Angeles however all we see are the horrible things people are doing to each other from killing family members to destroying marriages. I had to shut off the news and turn on some positive worships music.
As I sat and thought about the difference in the lives of those individuals and the lives of those that are placing God in the drivers seat, one thing popped into my mind, God's love is unconditional while man's love generally has strings attached and if you cut or unravel a string all hell breaks loose.
The word unconditional means the love is there no matter what you do, what you say or what you think. God offers Agape love to His children. In Exodus 34:6 God says; "I am the LORD, I am the LORD, the merciful and gracious God. I am slow to anger and rich in unfailing love and faithfulness."
What if God's Agape love was embraced and shared by the world? What if we started caring about others more than ourselves? Would it change the violence, anger, hate and destruction this world has put into play by denying the existence and power of God in this country, in this state, in this city? Would the children have a better chance today?
Our country was founded on the foundation of God, life was simpler and hate was less abundant. You know they say if we forget our history we are bound to repeat it, we are repeating life like those in Sodom and Gomorrah. If you look at the book of Genesis Chapter 14 you can see the direction society went. We see so much of the same activity today in our modern day society. If we were to put God back into the center of everything perhaps the news and life around us would not be so negative.
Many people deny that God exists, many think they are a good person so they can go to heaven and yet others believe there are many paths to heaven we all just call them something different. If this is true why does God say in John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
So bottom line I guess is making the choice what we believe and if we believe the Bible to be truth then perhaps we need to look into our hearts and ask the question: Do I show unconditional, Agape love to those around me? Do I reflect Jesus in my life, my words and my attitude? Pray today for the Lord to work in your heart, we all know it starts in our own hearts then radiates out to others.
