Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of fat-fighting pharmaceutical company Arena Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ARNA ) shed as much as 11% after the European equivalent to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration panel raised questions about the safety of its chronic weight management drug, Belviq.
So what: The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, or CHMP, raised concerns over tumors in rats, valvulopathy, and psychiatric events. As noted by my Foolish colleague Keith Speights, the concerns regarding tumors in rats and valvulopathy were addressed in the CHMP's 180-day list of questions, but apparently not thoroughly enough for the panel's liking. Arena still expects a decision on approval or denial of Belviq in the first half of this year.
Now what: No soup for anybody... in Europe, that is! Today's caution flags don't preclude Belviq from being approved in Europe -- where rival VIVUS (NASDAQ: VVUS ) had Qsymia flat out denied -- but it does make the approval process even more difficult. Arena is really going to have to show the CHMP and European Medicines Agency that the slight variations in the side effects listed above are relative to placebo and far outweighed by the benefit of the drug. While I do think that's possible, I wouldn't rule out a rejection of Belviq in Europe in the near term. I still do stand by my personal assessment that Arena is the better of the two drug plays in the fat-busting sector and expect Belviq to gain approval internationally before VIVUS' Qsymia.

More charges filed in September high-speed chase in Erie
An Erie man accused of leading police on a high-speed pursuit around the city in September is heading to trial on more charges in the case.
Anthony Fischer, 19, waived his preliminary hearing before Erie 6th Ward District Judge Dominick DiPaolo on Thursday after state police and prosecutors amended the criminal complaint against him to add eight other charges, bringing the total charges to 14. The charges include a felony count of fleeing police, a misdemeanor count of recklessly endangering another person, and summary counts of speeding, reckless driving and illegal racing.
Fischer is free on nonmonetary bond.
State police initially filed six charges against Fischer, of the 4000 block of Balboa Avenue, in the Sept. 6 incident. He is accused of speeding away from troopers who tried to stop his 2002 Honda Civic in the northbound lanes of Interstate 79, at the West 26th Street exit. The car was one of five drag racing on I-79, police said.
Fischer fled east on West 12th Street at speeds that reached 108 mph, according to case documents. Police said Fischer went through at least one red light and drove the wrong way on French Street. Some vehicles were forced off the road, and several pedestrians were nearly struck by the car, according to investigators.
Police lost sight of the Honda but later spotted it on West 26th Street near Sigsbee Reservoir. They eventually called off the pursuit for safety reasons but got the Honda's license plate and used it to identify Fischer as the driver.
Fischer later turned himself in to state police in Lawrence Park. He admitted to drag racing other vehicles before the pursuit, according to the criminal complaint.

To budding chefs, cooking shows like Chopped, Iron Chef, The Barefoot Contessa and Everyday Italian are a source of inspiration and excitement. Who wouldn't want to have the culinary acumen to turn sea urchins, rhubarb and cough drops into a delicious, restaurant-quality dessert?
But as much as they would like to transfer what they learn from those TV shows into their own kitchens, these hopeful cooks can be stymied by the dizzying array of kitchen gadgets and doo-dads those TV chefs always seem to have at hand.
I mean, seriously, a soft serve ice cream maker? Not exactly something you'll find in every home. But before you start shopping for a liquid nitrogen vendor, consider these more moderate kitchen gadgets that can make your dishes easier, tastier and more fun to create: Continue reading »

Whether you're entirely new to the restaurant business or you're a seasoned veteran opening your tenth restaurant, there are certain safety precautions and features to keep in mind as you set up a commercial kitchen. Following are a few ideas of what to keep in mind as you go about outfitting the hub of your new restaurant: the kitchen.
It's crucial that any cabinets or shelves be firmly attached to the walls. A collapsing shelf can result in a whole lot of broken dishes—not to mention potential injury to anyone unlucky enough to have been standing beneath the offending structure. Double check the cabinets' installation instructions and make sure you or your contractor follow them to the letter.
Gas connection
If your kitchen installation will include a gas stove—and most commercial kitchens do—it's crucial to make sure the gas lines are hooked up properly. Gas is obviously a highly combustible substance that must be dealt with carefully, so make sure the installation—and any future service calls—are done by a qualified installer, service agency or by the gas company itself. This way, you can be sure that every part of the gas connection—from the unseen underground gas fittings to the stove itself—is hooked up properly and remains in good working order.
Automatic pilot lights
On a similar note, purchasing a gas stove with an automatic pilot light can go a long way toward fire safety in your restaurant's kitchen. In such an appliance, the pilot light is ignited electronically, and an automatic shutoff valve prevents the main burner from working when the pilot light isn't lit or is otherwise malfunctioning. Most newer stoves offer this feature, so keep an eye out for it when shopping for both used and new models.
Walk-in freezers
Most commercial kitchens contain a walk-in freezer or combination refrigerator/freezer to store the large amounts of produce, dairy and other refrigerated foods necessary in a restaurant environment. When shopping for such an appliance, it's imperative to look for one that has an inside door release to prevent employees from becoming trapped inside. If you're buying a used model, test this feature multiple times before buying the unit to make sure it works properly.
Other bits and bobs
Besides the aforementioned items, there are other, smaller safety considerations that can make a significant impact on employee safety over time. Make sure all knives are kept sharpened; it might seem counterintuitive, but dull knives carry a far higher risk for cuts than sharp ones. Install an eyewash station and make sure employees know it's there; this can be tremendously helpful in the event that an employee gets, say, ghost pepper juice in his eyes. And make sure the whole space is properly ventilated and meets all state and federal guidelines for safety and cleanliness.
Setting up commercial kitchen equipment requires planning and forethought, so be sure to make decisions carefully and always with an eye toward employee safety. Doing so will ensure better overall success. Good luck to you in the opening of your new restaurant!

Tapas conjure the vivid hues of the Cote d'Azure, the sweet spice of cinnamon-laced sangria, and the strains of the flamenco in the air. A delicious daydream for all the senses, it is little wonder tapas restaurants have become hugely popular in the US.
Unfortunately, even though they do not include the Cote d'Azure, the cost of frequenting these places can start to pinch after a while. Never fear, there is no reason to drop the tapas habit; instead, bring it into the intimate setting of your home and enjoy the experience in a new light.
Where to start? You need three essentials: Continue reading »

Having a great kitchen is the dream of many couples and single people who love to cook. For them, the kitchen is the star of the house and they make it as functional as possible.
Indeed, this particular area in the house where you prepare and cook food can serve many purposes. It can also be a place to dine and enjoy conversation with family members and can even serve as a study area for the kids.
While not all families can have their dream kitchen, it's still possible to create one that best suits your lifestyle by doing some renovation work. For those building a new home, however, it's always best to plan well the layout of the room to ensure you have enough space where you can prepare, cook and serve up meals to your loved ones.
Basically, the most important sections of a kitchen are the cooking area, storage area and the cleanup area. Many of today's modern kitchens follow a work triangle layout to make it easier for the cook or head of the family to go back and forth between these areas. The triangle needs to have just enough space and not too big or too small. Continue reading »

Just because some chefs are celebrities does not mean that they do not encounter serious problems in their daily lives. If anything, history tells us that they have it worse as news of their personal misfortunes are plastered all over the newspapers, and now in the Internet as well.
Nigella Lawson, world famous TV chef and cookbook author, knows this firsthand with controversial photos of her being choked by millionaire husband, Charles Saatchi, making the Internet rounds. The incident, which was seen and photographed by paparazzi named Jean-Paul, has drawn everyone's eyes to Nigella Lawson and the issue of domestic abuse.

Celebrating July 4th is about more than fireworks. It's the opportunity to gather with family and friends for a celebration of the freedoms you enjoy because of your country's independence. This year, celebrate the holiday with delicious and festive recipes in shades of red, white and blue.
Side Dishes
Peach Chicken Wings add grilling and food taste to your festive celebration. Process 2 cups of barbecue sauce, 1 finely chopped garlic clove and 2 peaches in a food processor. Add 1-1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Reserve 1/2 cup for basting. Toss 24 wings in the remaining sauce and chill. Combine the remaining sauce with 1 cup peach jam, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons of hot sauce, 1 finely chopped garlic clove and 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small saucepan. Cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat until slightly thickened. Baste the wings in this sauce as they grill.
Cilantro Tomato Corn Salad bursts with flavor and color, and you can adjust the ingredients to satisfy your palate. Combine the kernels from three cooked ears of corn with 1/4 cup melted butter, 2 chopped plum tomatoes, 1 seeded and finely chopped jalapeño pepper, 1/2 small, finely chopped red onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 bunch chopped fresh cilantro, 1 pinch lemon-herb seasoning and salt and pepper to taste. Chill before serving.
Watermelon Salsa delivers a sweet punch of flavor in every bright red bite. In a white serving bowl, mix 2 cups seeded and coarsely chopped watermelon, 2 tablespoons chopped onion, 3 tablespoons seeded, chopped Anaheim chile, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt. Cover and chill then serve with blue corn chips.
Red, White and Blue Party Mix combines patriotic colors with a sweet and salty crunch as you involve your kids in the kitchen. Mix 1 cup yogurt coated mini pretzels, 1/2 cup yogurt coated raisins, 1/3 cup dried blueberries, 1/2 cup dried banana chips, 1/2 cup dried pineapple pieces and 1/3 cup dried sour cherries or cranberries into a large bowl. Serve the mix in individual flag buckets for guests to enjoy.
Berry Blue Fizz tastes great and looks festive when you serve it in clear glasses. Microwave 3 cups of water on high in a glass measuring cup for 5 minutes or until it boils. Pour in 4 (3 ounce) packages of blueberry gelatin and stir until dissolved. Cool slightly before adding 5 (12 fluid ounce) cans lemon-lime soda. Serve over a scoop of pineapple sherbet or vanilla ice cream.
Strawberry Punch adds vibrant color to the drink table. Mash 4 cups of strawberries with 1/2 cup sugar. Let it sit for an hour before straining it. Add 3 cups orange juice, 3/4 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup sugar and 1-1/2 liters ginger ale.
Patriotic Fruit Salad ends the evening on a sweet note. In a seasonal serving bowl, mix 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon white pepper. Add 3 cups seeded and cubed watermelon, 2 cups blueberries and 1 cup julienned jicama. Stir, chill and enjoy.
July 4th gives you an opportunity to celebrate your country's birthday and your freedom. Invite a few friends over and enjoy festive food and a fun time. What's your favorite patriotic food?

The entry is velvety and intense, revealing dark cherry and boysenberry notes married with toasted oak and light licorice.

Avast Sees The Trainer As Malware
Nikata posted on Oct 28, 2011 12:42:40 AM - Report post
Well, it seems that the new update to Avast has declared the trainer malware. I've searched for the past half hour within the program to see if there is a way to exclude it but there doesn't appear to me. For now, to use the trainer, I'll have to turn off my anti-virus program.
If anyone has any suggestions or help in getting this trainer as excluded I'd appreciate it. I've already submitted to Avast that the file is not malware but no idea how long it'll take for them to add it to their exclusions.

Black History Month 2016
University of the Pacific's annual Black History Month celebration involves a number of activities that honor the history and heritage of African-Americans and the African Diaspora. Throughout the month of February, students, faculty and staff put on numerous events, including a keynote speaker, gospel concert, poetry reading, roundtable discussions and various guest lecturers.
Actor/writer/director Nate Parker, gospel superstar Kirk Franklin, and nationally known poet Patricia Spears Jones will be featured as the University of the Pacific celebrates Black History Month in February. The theme for this year's celebration is "The Dream Continues."
"It feels great being a part of a collaborative effort to celebrate the contributions of African-Americans past and present, "said Mariah McGhee, student co-chair of Pacific's Black History Month Planning Committee. "We've had a lot of fun working on this project with other faculty, students and staff on campus. Our community partners, including Pacific alumni, have also been great supporters. People have a lot to look forward to, particularly our signature events." Here is a summary:
Feb. 19, Friday - This year's Gospelfest features musical icon Kirk Franklin. With a recording career spanning nearly two decades, Kirk Franklin is a multi-platinum-selling artist who has earned numerous awards including 9 Grammy awards and 39 Stellar Awards. He is also the host and executive producer of the highest-rated gospel program in BET network history, "Sunday Best." Geoffrey Golden will open the concert. He is a contemporary gospel artist from Cleveland, Ohio, who won the 7th season of "Sunday Best." He has been nominated for a Stellar Award in the category of "New Artist of the Year." His latest project, "Kingdom... Live," is available now. Local artist Kristal Stallworth-Little will also perform. The original opening artist for the concert, Travis Greene, had a scheduling conflict and is unable to perform. Gospelfest will be 7-10 p.m. Feb. 19 at the Bob Hope Theatre, 242 E. Main Street, Stockton. Tickets are $30-$50 in advance, $35-$55 the day of the concert.

Feb. 25, Thursday - A presentation by poet Patricia Spears Jones will be held at 7 p.m. in the Presidents Room. Over the past 40 years, she has written groundbreaking poetry collections and been actively involved in a several organizations focused on progressive politics, social justice, feminism, the environment and multi-culturalism. She curates WORDS SUNDAY, a literary and performance series focused on Brooklyn-based writers and artists. In 2010, she was named by Essence.com as one of its "40 Poets They Love." Admission to this event is free, but seating is limited.
Feb. 29, Monday - Actor/writer/producer Nate Parker is the keynote speaker for this year's celebration. He is best known for his roles in the films "The Great Debaters," "Pride," "Red Tails," and "Beyond the Lights." At the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, the distribution rights to his film Birth of a Nation were purchased by Fox Searchlight Pictures for $17.5 million. The purchase broke the record for the most money ever paid for a Sundance Film Festival production. He will lecture at 7 p.m. at Faye Spanos Concert Hall. This is a ticketed event admission is free, but seating is limited. Tickets can be picked up at the DeRosa University Center.
"I'm so appreciative of the hard work our committee has put in for well over a year planning this year's celebration," said Randall Ogans, staff co-chair of Pacific's Black History Month Planning Committee. "It is our pleasure to host the events in the city of Stockton and we are excited to give back to the community that has supported us for over 15 years."

Pacific Black History Month Planning Committee Mission Statement
The Black History Month Committee will, through the usage of identified funds, collaborate within the University and local community to plan and execute a month long series of events and activities that support the overall goals of education and enrichment in relation to the contributions of peoples of African ancestry and culture to society past and present.
Origin of Black History Month
Known as the "Father of Black History", Dr. Carter G. Woodson founded the celebration he called "Negro History Week" in 1926. Dr. Woodson selected the second week of February for the celebration because it fell between the birthdays of the famed orator and abolitionist Frederick Douglass and President Abraham Lincoln. In 1976, the celebration expanded to include the entire month of February. Today, Black History Month is celebrated across the United States by people of all ethnic and social backgrounds. At Pacific, it is observed during a month long celebration in February organized by Pacific's Black History Month Planning Committee.

This review is from: SYBA SY-KVM22004 2-Port PS/2 KVM Switch Supports Audio with Built-in Cables
Pros: None for me.
Cons: There's no switch! It depends on another item - my keyboard to actuate the switch. What if I have a keyboard issue from one machine to the other?
I wanted a SWITCH! I thought the hot keys were an additional feature, not the only way to activate the switch.
Other Thoughts: I keep making the same stupid mistake of buying items without any negative reviews, because nothing is perfect. I haven't seen any of my negative reviews yet so I am starting to doubt the veracity of these reviews.
If there are no negative reviews it means too few people have tried it.
This review is from: HIS iSilence 5 Radeon HD 6670 DirectX 11 H667PNS1G 1GB 128-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Plug-in Card Video Card
Pros: This would be perfect..
Cons: if they did't block that slot, and slide the heat sink forward - no room for my fan controller. If they are going to block the slot might as well add a second slot cover vent.
Other Thoughts: Why doesn't anyone address fan control ( I mean seriously address it ) since the GPU fan doesn't need to run on high all the time.READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: None for me
Cons: I missed that this has zero labor warranty. I guess they expect them all to fail in short time: So to me this has zero value. Personally I would not offer a product that the manufacturer doesn't stand behind. Because it was SAMSUNG I thought it would have some level of quality that they would be willing to back it, but my bad. I guess I need to look closer when shopping.
Other Thoughts: Wow! if I have to look this closely at everything I may need to stop shopping altogether!READ FULL REVIEW

Because the streak is over. The Mountaineers had just enough –enough offense, enough defense, enough special teams and enough made plays to both win in overtime and keep its bowl hopes alive with a 30-27 victory. It was, as per the norm, infuriating, frustrating and exasperating. But, this time, it was also exhilarating.
"I gotta give these guys credit; that was two teams that needed a win," WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen told MSN from IMG. "We talked all week about finished. We kept our composure and finished."
In the end, it was "just" a win over a now 3-6 team. But to keep the hope of postseason play alive with home games against Texas and Iowa State sandwiched around a road trip to Kansas? The latter two contests now suddenly seem not just relevant, but of the stuff that could well rejuvenate a team which few doubt would have packed it in, mentally and physically, had the game been lost. The season now takes on an entire new meaning over its final quarter, with the Mountaineers having something, anything, for which to play.
Because only blind optimists of the Iraq Minster of Information variety would believe West Virginia could have rallied from this defeat. Casey Pachall's touchdown throw to David Porter, piggybacked by Jaden Oberkrom's 45-yard field goal to force overtime, could have been the knockout punch fatally delivered to an already staggered squad. Instead, WVU countered – again – with its defense, pounding TCU, and Pachall, back 20 yards in three plays to force Oberkrom into a 62-yard field goal that had the distance but not the accuracy.
Suddenly, West Virginia was off the ropes and attacking itself, Sims gut-punching for 15 yards up the middle over three plays to set-up Lambert's 34-yard game winner.
"That's the first one," Lambert told MSN from IMG. "Hopefully, we can turn this win into a few more."
That's the idea. West Virginia had been close. It had taken leads in its last two games into the final 18 minutes. Its defense, coaches said, was seven plays from turning in an exceptional performance against Kansas State. Those seven plays, however, were the difference in a close game and what ended as a 35-12 blowout. The defense again got the team a lead, forcing four turnovers, three that setup scores to rally from 17-3 deficit to a 27-17 lead.
And then, one thought, it was going to happen again. With just three minutes left, TCU got a touchdown pass, then held WVU to a three and out. There was Oberkrom's field goal and Holgorsen not trusting Clint Trickett after the quarterback threw a pair of bad interceptions, the pick six of which was negated by a defensive penalty. The Mountaineers kneeled to end regulation and, most thought, its season. The Horned Frogs had rallied to beat West Virginia 39-38 in double overtime last season, and it appeared like a Texas-sized sequel in year two.
It wasn't to be. WVU held, Lambert split and the decision got the Mountaineers to within a game of .500 in handing TCU its third straight loss for the first time in the Gary Patterson era, and sending the Frogs to just their seventh loss in the last 38 home games. Now, the 4-5 Mountaineers have a chance, no matter what happens next week. Beat what figures to be a top 25, Big 12-leading Longhorn team at home – which suddenly isn't of the astronomical odds sort – and the whole season outlook is changed.
"Whoever wins this one is going to a bowl," Shaq Rowell said before the game.
Let's hope so. Enjoy this one, and drink it in, Mountaineer fans; the nightcap versus Texas is to come.

Wednesday, July 9, 2014
The 2014 Moncks Corner Fourth of July celebration came with a bit of a unique twist this year.
The Fourth of July celebration actually happened on July 4.
This was the first time in my nine years here that our annual street dance actually took place on July 4, said Moncks Corner Park and Rec Director Ralph Jones. We had a little less turnout, but we didnt know how many people wed have with the dance falling on the actual Fourth of July.
Mother Nature was on her best behavior with temperatures in the low 90s and no threat of rain in the forecast. The town couldnt have asked for a better Fourth of July.
Overall we were very pleased with the turnout Friday night for both the parade and the street dance, Jones said. The air drone was a big hit. People loved seeing aerial views of the Depot and the dance.
The parade was a renewed success with the shorter parade route proving to be less of a strain on both the participants and parade watchers lining Main Street.
The parade began near the Berkeley Alternative School and terminated at the Town Depot. The towns intention was to shorten the route because of the intense summer heat and compact the viewing audience into a shorter parade route.
In the past the parade had been so spread out the viewing crowd was very sporadic, Jones said. This way we tighten up the crowd, which makes for a better parade experience for everybody.
Jones said around 25 entries participated in the Fourth of July parade.
Moncks Corner Mayor and presumptive Berkeley County Supervisor-elect Bill Peagler rode in the parade and thanked the voters of Moncks Corner and Berkeley County as a whole for their support in the June 24 runoff election.
I have enjoyed serving the people of Moncks Corner as their mayor and look forward to serving the people of Berkeley County as their new supervisor, Peagler said, who has always enjoyed participating in the towns parades. Working together we can continue to make both Moncks Corner and Berkeley County a better place to live.
With the completion of the towns new municipal recreation complex, this could be the last year for the annual street dance at the Behrman Street location.
According to Town Administrator Marc Hehn, the towns goal is to host the 2015 street dance and Fourth of July celebration at the new rec center complex.
We want to move the street dance across the street to the towns new recreational complex, Hehn said. We would get to take advantage of the extra space and centralized parking and be able to expand the dance festival and Fourth of July weekend celebration.
The rec center complex is nearing completion and preparing to host its inaugural Town Festival and BBQ Cooker of the Year competition.
This two-day event will take place at the new regional recreation complex on Nov. 7-8, 2014.
The event will include the top 12 barbecue cookers in the Southern Barbeque Network who qualify for this special invitation only competition. The winner of the Lions Clubs Anything Butt BBQ Cook Off in September will get an automatic invitation to the SBN cook off.
The two-day festival will feature entertainment, vendors, a Battle of the Banks chili cook-off, a custom golf cart show, a childrens area, and much more, according to the Moncks Corner town website.

Hay Day Farm Review:
Hello and welcome back its Red knight here and it's time for a Hay day farm review. I love this farm that I'm about to look at, this is Frank who is a kid. I'll now zoom out and show you, just look at those pieces now, all these past pieces came with the ditches in the last update. I love the way that this person has blended these paths with the regular pass. It looks really good and in no way does this Hay Day farm look cluttered at all because it's nicely broken up. Everything is in planes and set up really well and I do love what I'm seeing. Just look at the way he's used to hedge rows, the way he's used issues to trim the bushes and the decoration and everything just goes together. The machines are spread out; they are all in different locations. It's great and I am impressed with it. I feel that I could be walking around this farm of Hay Day and enjoy everything. In whatever direction I'd look I feel that my eyes will be pleasured, my brain sensors will be enjoying everything. Just look at the way he's got the water, that's a fantastic way of splitting up the fall into two key pieces and it really looks beautiful.
Extra: See the video below for another supercell game Boom Beach. Its operation manticore in Boom Beach:
I love the way that he changed the direction of the water. He's got animals, just to the back there and again they are split up by bush. He's got this nice border of trees lining around the back around the whole farm, it really look great. Take a good look at this place; this has to be one of my favorite views. I've seen it after a long time, he's got irrigation system just down the side which allows water to nice little crop area, and it's lit up by the pathways so I can imagine on this Hay day farm even the workers coming down here for harvesting crops. Let's have a look at the town, is he going to carry over this design into this area. He has this, so my eyes are just feasting this imagery now. You have done a wonderful job here and there's a lot here that I feel that I could copy or would recommend other people. Nothing looks cluttered everything looks really well balanced and it looks like a lot of creativity has gone into the layout of this town. Basically the way it's been set up you feels that the two are contrasting each other very nicely. This user is at advance level so you will higher level to unlock most of this stuff. If you don't have any of this, just use diamonds. Use this hay day diamonds generator to get lots of free hay day diamonds.
How you come down to the beach it's very simplistic but you could actually enjoy coming to this beach relaxing, having a little picnic with your family playing in the water build cost later back into the town shops and other things that offer here if you lived in this far. I think you would love being in this location. 223 people like this far as well and I'm going to make 224, I love this Hay Day farm so much. I'm even going to fill some crates for you because I happen to be in the neighborhood and you are in need of some help. I'm so glad that I got to leave some stuff there like other people. I like even the harp in the center of the farm, everything goes really well and I do recommend this place now. Keep visiting my blog for more Hay day farm reviews.

iTunes and its impact on users
Apple is king not only in computing but also in digital content like TV shows, Podcasts, Music, Videos and so on. These are the finding from a recently conducted survey by an independent authority. The survey reflects 60% of American use iTunes not only for music streaming but also for the other digital content. This number came to surprise as till now only television and some big giants like Netflix are considered to be major player in digital content other than music.
The huge rise can be attributed to the number of free iTunes gift card websites surfacing every day. Such sites provide the users with free iTunes codes worth 50$ which are enough for the teenagers to purchase anything on iTunes.

George Duke: Facing the Music
GD: I had come from MPS, where I had a lot of freedom but not a lot of money. When I went to Epic, where I had what I considered a big budget, I said, "Man, I've got money to make a real record with real strings," so I went crazy. I wanted strings. I wanted horns. I wanted singers. And the record was kind of a hodgepodge of stuff. It didn't really work as well as it should have. On the next album, I had a band that had been traveling awhile. We developed a personality as musicians. "Reach For It" began in Washington, D.C., as a drum solo played live, and I started playing the bass line and people started yelling and screaming. I looked at Byron Miller, the bassist, and told him to play a solo, and it worked.
We went in the studio and I said, "Man, you remember what we did?"
They said, "Yeah," and we recorded a whole roll of tape on it. That became the hit off that record, but there was really nothing else on there like it. We were still a jazz group. We played a lot of Latin and fusion, so that was the transition between those two records because they were very different attitudes.
AAJ: How did the record company react to "Reach For It?"
GD: I was in Europe, where we were playing a tour, and the record company called. There were no cell phones or text messages at this time. They said, "You gotta get back to the States right away! We got a hit record here!"
I said, "What are you talking about?"
"You must come back now," they insisted. The record was breaking out of the D.C., Baltimore and Detroit area, and permeated the rest of the country.
We came back from jazz clubs and festivals in front of mixed audiences, to playing concerts in front of 98-percent black audiences because black radio broke that record. We went from playing clubs that held a few hundred, to drawing 8,000 to 10,000 people a night. For me, after working in small clubs, this was like, "Oh, my God." And we still only had one funk song.
AAJ: Was it difficult making the switch from playing to a jazz fusion audience to doing shows where all they knew was "Reach For It?"
GD: It was very tough. That's why I did the Don't Let Go (Epic, 1978) album to try and solidify the audience I had gained, but still try to bring them with me. I could do funk, but for some of them, that's all they knew. They didn't know any of that other material I had done. I didn't want to lose the audience, but I tried to bring some of them with me to open their minds to other kinds of music. It was not easy.
The audiences were looking at us, wondering what the heck we were about. I also realized I had to become more visual. Most of the stuff we were playing, I was walled behind a bunch of keyboards. We were essentially a jazz group that played one funky tune. By Don't Let Go, I had encased my keyboards with Plexiglas, and I wanted to get something to wear around my neck. I searched for a keyboard I could put around my neck like a guitarist so I could come out front and work the audience. That developed to what some call the "Dukey Stick" now.
But there was a lot of good stuff on the [Reach For It] album. We were playing some hot Latin, Santana-style stuff. We had some other funk on there with Stanley, but there was nothing else like "Reach For It."
AAJ: You pulled a left turn with A Brazilian Love Affair. What was the impetus for that album?
GD: I don't think a musician should sit still. I'd gone to Brazil with Cannonball Adderley in 1971 and promised myself one day I'd come back and record with Brazilians. I started listening to Brazilian music when I was 19. I'd go see Sergio Mendes and Brazil '65 and listen to bossa nova records. But when I went to Brazil, I got introduced to another kind of music like Milton Nascimento. I got a suitcase, stuffed it with LPs and came home to listen to them one after another. With "Reach For It" and "Dukey Stick" doing as well as they did, I went to Epic and said, "Guys, I wanna go to Brazil and do an album," and they said okay and gave me a budget. They hooked me up with a lady in the international department who spoke fluent Portuguese. I took my band with to play with the Brazilian musicians to get a true melding of styles. It was a wonderful thing, and I want to do another one, no doubt about it. It's been one of my most enjoyable experiences.
AAJ: There seemed to be some turnover going on in your band after A Brazilian Love Affair.
GD: The band had changed by the time of Master of the Game (Epic, 1979). Ricky Lawson had replaced Leon "Ndugu" Chancler on drums and we had a different guitarist, so the personality of the band had changed. That was the end of an era. It's a Star Trek philosophy: we've conquered this; what's on that star to the left? Funk had kind of died out. The radio stations weren't playing it. That's why I started producing at that point.
The disco thing had become very strong, and I wanted to see if there was a way to incorporate that into what I do. I like chord changes and all that, but I wanted to see if I could use that beat, and consequently I came up with a song called "I Want You For Myself." That actually did pretty well, but its still had a lot of improvisation and music in it.
Once that band was done, I disbanded it and stayed in the studio. The result of that was Dream On (Epic, 1982), and fortunately I had a song, "Shine On," thatoutside of this country, in Japan and Francebecame a huge hit. The odd part was when "Shine On" became a disco hit. I wrote it as a ballad. At the time, Epic sent me a letter saying they weren't going to release my records in Japan for lack of sales. When this hit and I went back over there, I had little schoolgirls following me around giggling and chasing me into stores. Well, fortunately, that's over [laughs]. I was trying to incorporate that disco thing into my music without bastardizing it. Whether or not I was successful is for somebody else to decide.

I've heard that you can store VC games to the Remote as well. Can anyone confirm this? (Mines boxed up till Christmas )
If so then you could download VC games at a friends house (who had a Wii and internet). And then take them home.
Well, the website says it comes with an N to RP-SMA cable (RP-SMA connectors are what most consumer routers have).Originally Posted by intekmdma
Since you have a Linksys, you may want to check your manual or check the internet to see if you have an RP-TNC or RP-SMA male connector on the back of your router.
I didn't see any options, on my Wii, for me to save VC games onto the remote (or any documentation in the supplied manuals), only the ability to save up to 10 Mii's on the remote.Originally Posted by Mindstalker
What I did find in the manual was it stated you couldn't share VC games on other Wii's using an SD card. So if you downloaded it on your friend's Wii, it's not going to work on yours.

Citations and $224,000 in Proposed Penalties for Employers
BOSTON -- Exposing employees to potentially fatal safety hazards at a Westwood, Mass., construction site has resulted in two Massachusetts employers and one Vermont employer being cited and fined a total of $224,000 by the U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
OSHA has cited Jan Five, doing business as Alexandra Construction, and Epernay Design and Construction, Inc., both of Newton, Mass., as well as Northern Construction Dynamics of Hyde Park, Vt., for alleged willful violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act after the agency investigated an Oct. 1, 2002, accident at the Westwood High School construction project. In the accident, a 55-foot steel column toppled over after it had been placed on its foundation as soon as the crane line holding it was released.
"Fortunately, no one was injured in this incident, which could have had tragic consequences," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao. "These companies knew the safety standards they should have been following, and they all are being cited for willful violations of the law."
According to Brenda Gordon, OSHA's area director for southeastern Massachusetts, Alexandra Construction, as the general contractor on the site, is being cited for three willful violations, including: allowing steel erection to begin before foundation material was sufficiently strong, and before giving written notification to the steel erector; allowing steel erection to begin before giving written notification to the steel erector that anchor bolts had been repaired; and modifying anchor bolts in an unsafe manner without the approval of the engineer of record. This company is also being cited for one other-than-serious violation for failing to secure a compressed gas cylinder. The total proposed penalty for this contractor is $126,000.
Epernay Design and Construction is being cited for a willful violation, with a proposed penalty of $56,000, for modifying anchor bolts in an unsafe manner without the approval of the engineer of record. Epernay Design and Construction was in charge of preparing the foundation of the building prior to steel erection.
Northern Construction Dynamics, the steel erection contractor, is being cited for one willful violation for beginning to erect steel before receiving written notification from the controlling contractor that foundation material had sufficient strength to support the steel. It is also cited for an other-than-serious violation for providing a discharged fire extinguisher for emergency use. The company's total proposed penalty is $42,000.
A willful violation is defined by OSHA as one committed with an intentional disregard of, or plain indifference to, the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations.
OSHA's area office in Braintree, Mass., conducted the inspection. Its telephone number is 617-565-6924.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is dedicated to saving lives, preventing injuries and illnesses, and protecting America's workers. Safety and health add value to business, the workplace and life. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.

Washable wool
The few times that I have used washable wool, I have found the garment would sag. Can any of you recommend a good one.
The few times that I have used washable wool, I have found the garment would sag. Can any of you recommend a good one.
I knitted up the second Arne and Carlos sock yarn for myself. Also knitted two pairs of socks for my sisters as birthday gifts. I used 2.25 mm needles for all three pairs. 68 stitches for my socks and 60 for those of my sisters. I had some Briggs and Little sport left over from other projects and knitted up a blanket. I have made some in the past but they were about 60 inches square and didn't cover me from head to toe when napping.
I am a real fan of Arne and Carlos from Norway. So when they designed six different sock yarns for Regia, I had to buy them. I knit up the first pair and am very pleased with the pattern and with the yarn itself. 2.25 mm needles.
I had 9 balls of beige in Jamieson and Smith 4 ply Jumper Shetland Wool and dug out out 9 other balls of different colours. I used lovat, mustard, silver, periwinkle, sand, live lobster, spring green, oatmeal, and grape. I kept them in that order with a row of beige every other row. I knitted it with 3.25 mm needles. It is nice and warm and will be great in the autumn.
I have some Madelinetosh and some Jamieson and Smith Shetland, both lace weight, that I want to use to make a shawl. The Madelinetosh is a reddish burgundy colour and when I used it before, the colour came out and ruined a bedspread when I blocked it. I certainly don't want it to run into the grey Shetland wool. Is there something I can do to set the colour before washing it?
Just finished a sweater that I had been working on for a couple of months. The pattern is a mosaic one in which slipped stitches are used to create an effect. Only one colour is used in each row. I used Jamieson and Smith jumper weight Shetland wool and 3.25 needles. I used an applied I-cord for the neck opening.
I finished up a couple of sweaters using left over yarn from other projects. Jamieson and Smith Shetland wool and 3.25 mm needles. I used a top down pattern that I have developed over the years.
I bought Arne and Carlos's new book "Norwegian Knits with a Twist" and really liked the wrist warmers. The pattern called for a dk weight which I couldn't find but did find some suitable Jamieson Smith Shetland in 4 ply jumper weight. I had to swatch and do a bit of math to achieve the correct size. They were a fun knit.
I had to do the neck to finish this and accomplished that this morning. Little Ben will be two in January. I used a pattern that I made up myself that is roughly based on EZ's percentage system. DK acrylic (that I bought here in Mexico) and 4mm needles.
Just finished up three pairs of socks that I will give to my brother and sisters for their birthdays. I lost the label for the sock on the left, the middle one is Opal, and the one on the right is Zauberball. I used my mother's recipe with 2.25mm needles.

They say that life crises can sometimes either make or break a marriage or relationship. My cancer diagnosis (or better said as our cancer diagnosis) has done just that. Facing this challenge has made our bond stronger, our love deeper, and our compassion more profound.
Scott and I were reunited in December 1999 after I sent him a Christmas card as we lived in different states. We corresponded back and forth for several months and he made several visits to Upstate New York where I had lived at that time (and we are both originally from). Although the long distance thing was exciting, it wasn't practical anymore as we were beginning to talk about a future together. I sold my home and moved my son and I down to Southern Maryland in the summer of 2000. After we exchanged our vows in his home town in the fall of 2002, we were back in Maryland ready to build our lives together. We purchased our first home together, got a dog and then a second one, raised our boys, took family vacations, shared our hopes and our dreams.
Scott is always dreaming of the day he can retire and move to a location where he feels like each day when we wake up, we are on vacation. We spend a lot of time talking about that and where we'll wind up one day. I, on the other hand, always quietly hoped we'd maybe wind up right back where we started in Upstate New York. So many factors along the way, however, have made me feel differently about that. Of course I love spending time with my brothers and family, and Scott's Mom, and old friends who all still live up there, but I know that he is the person I want the most, need the most. His support and tenderness has been what has gotten me though each day these past two years. Before my diagnosis while I struggled with the symptoms, and the pain and suffering I was experiencing, he was the one who took care of me, and so badly wanted to take my pain away. From the moment I became so ill, he called his employer to let them know of my condition and stayed home with me for what wound up being nearly three months.
In March 2012, the things we used to dream about changed. Once my diagnosis came about, our hopes and dreams became much more immediate as we focused on the here and now and restored good health. Once diagnosed, his "glass half empty" outlook took a complete turn around and I was amazed to see that his outlook on my recovery was one of hope and promise. We make plans and we keep them. We go to ball games, concerts, family get-togethers, go on day trips in between treatments, and make the most of each day and each moment. The little differences or occasional squabbles between us disappeared-no use expending energy on nonsense. We've learned to let go of unnecessary troubles. We have both become better at living for the moment.
When Diana and I started seeing each other 1999, I thought I already had a pretty good grasp on the woman I was choosing to spend time with, date and ultimately marry a few years later based on knowing her off and on since the late 80's. After her diagnosis in 2012, I have seen traits and strengths I didn't know she or anyone else possessed. I had always admired her ability to have a positive outlook on life and even day to day tribulations that occur, even though that's in stark contrast to my usual pessimistic demeanor.
To get a diagnosis of stage IV colon cancer at age 41, you'd think that would sour even the most optimistic person's outlook on life, but not Diana. She looks forward to each day, eager to tackle any challenges, treatments or otherwise with her usual positive attitude, smiling all the way. I always try to remain strong for her, trying to be the backbone for her if she needs it to get through these tough times. More often than not, it's Diana that provides the backbone for us going forward. It's her giving me the strength to endure during our challenging days, not the other way around, due to her faith in God and her amazing attitude.
Diana is always more concerned about her family and friends well-being, even now, when it would be perfectly understandable to be centered only on herself and her health. She never wants pity or sadness from people. She asks anyone and everyone she meets: family, friends, co-workers or even strangers if they've had a colonoscopy and if not, get one. Soon. Her caring for others never ceases to amaze me.
I remember reading or hearing this somewhere years ago: The best partner you can ever have in life is someone who makes you want to be a better person. Having Diana in my life these past 14+ years has definitely made me want to be a better person, especially when I'm around her. This feeling has multiplied since her diagnosis. Diana has this effect on everyone she meets. It's impossible to be angry, annoyed or upset when you're talking with her. She's been the brightest part of my life since I met her and I'm grateful for and continue to treasure every day we have together.
Cancer doesn't have to have the negative connotation associated with it at every level. It has proved me to be a fighter, it has proved me to be more assertive, it has proved me to love bigger, and it has proved that my marriage is at its ultimate best. I am not one to say "I am thankful for cancer" because of what it has taught me: I certainly am not. Cancer is an ugly word. But I know to look beyond that and realize that there is so much to be grateful for. I see the world differently now, I see my relationships differently now, and I embrace life with open arms with all that it has to offer. Scott and I are the perfect definition of a "team". I recall his Mom and my Aunt telling us at one time or another that we make a perfect team. We balance each other out and we complement one another. I can't imagine my life with a better partner. Our love is strong and "we still do".

But it never got that far, with Dyer becoming the first Dolphins player to be re-signed this offseason.
The former fourth-round pick appeared in 11 games for the Dolphins in 2002 but never touched the ball on offense.
Dyer's blocking ability, however, makes him valuable in short-yardage and goal-line situations.
Starting fullback Rob Konrad is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent as well this offseason, but look for the Dolphins to make every attempt to re-sign him, and don't be surprised to see it happen before the start of free agency Feb. 28.
