Ferguson uses freewheeling energy to win audience over
"It's different from the TV, isn't it?," "Late Late Show" host Craig Ferguson cheekily asked the audience about halfway through his 75-minute stand-up set Friday night at a near-capacity Pabst Theater.
With hundreds of "F" bombs and a fascination with clitoris jokes, this was definitely a different kind of Ferguson from the late night CBS variety. And it was a different experience for Ferguson as well, made obvious by an overzealous heckler who tried to interrupt the set a number of times right out of the gate. (Ferguson wittily put her in her place, and she eventually quit . . . or perhaps security took her out.) »Read Full Article

1 Giant Snickerdoodle Cookie.
If you love snickerdoodles, you have to try this giant snickerdoodle cookie recipe. Enough to share, but who wants to do that?
Ever have a giant craving for a cookie? Like a craving of epic proportions? Well, I've been craving the sweet, cinnamon-spiced softness of a snickerdoodle cookie for weeks now.
Snickerdoodles have been a favorite of mine since I was little. Besides their whimsical name (who else loves to just say snickerdoodle out loud?!), I can't get enough of their cinnamon-sugar crusted exterior and buttery soft inside. They are like sugar cookies in a cute little cinnamon outfit. How can one resist?
For some reason, giant cookies are just so much tastier than their normal-sized counterparts. Something about knowing you have a cookie the size of your head to finish just seems so much more appealing than eating two or three smaller cookies. And today's snickerdoodle is anything but "small." I tweaked the recipe for my XXL Sugar Cookie and came out with the the softest, chewiest, and most cinnamon-spiced snickerdoodle I've ever eaten. I'm not kidding, this cookie literally melts in your mouth. It is smooth like buttah.
One thing I loathe about certain cookies like sugar cookies, snickerdoodles, and gingersnaps is that they can be hard and practically crunchy. Nothing about a "crunchy" cookie sounds appealing to me. I need soft, luscious, buttery cookies and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in that!
Regular snickerdoodles are rolled in a cinnamon-sugar blend. I simply sprinkled cinnamon & sugar on top because the soft cookie dough was impossible to roll into a ball. You have to watch this guy in the oven pretty closely in the oven. Mine was done at exactly 15 minutes. The edges were barely browning and the center didn't look quite finished. After letting it cool for about 15 minutes, the center set and I was able to put it on a plate to
stuff my face enjoy.
This cookie is HUGE and perfect for sharing… if you're so inclined. Earlier this year I made another version of this cookie, a Peanut Butter Reese's Pieces version, which I shared with Kevin. It is hands down, one of the BEST things I've ever eaten.
But while Kevin was at work, I was left alone with this giant snickerdoodle. Darn.
1 Giant Snickerdoodle Cookie
Makes 1 large cookie, perfect for sharing! Cookie stays soft and fresh for up to 3 days. Cookie freezes well, up to 2 months.
2 Tbsp butter, softened to room temperature
3 Tbsp sugar + 1/4 tsp for sprinkling on top
2 Tbsp beaten egg (crack the egg, beat it, and use 2 tbsp)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
6 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cream of tartar (no substitutions)
1/2 tsp cinnamon (divided)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cookie sheet with nonstick spray or use a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir the butter and 3 Tbsp sugar together until creamed - mixture may be a bit crumbly. That's OK. Add the egg and vanilla until mixed. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt,cream of tartar, and 1/4 tsp cinnamon until just combined. Do NOT overmix.
Place the dough in the center of the prepared cookie sheet into a tall ball (see pictures above). Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp sugar. Bake for 14-16 minutes until the edges are browned. The center may appear undone but that's what you want. It will firm up. Allow to cool completely ON the baking sheet. Enjoy!

MOBILITY SAVERS wow...GREAT SERVICE and VERY HONEST PEOPLE. They really know how to fix the stuff. Have my scooter at another place and they couldn't fix it. Mobility Savers phones don't stop ringing but now I understand why they are so busy. Friendly, too.

MOBILITY SAVERS A GODSEND! I got a new power wheelchair from them. My repairs are funded by ODSP (Ontario disability program) I found Mobility Savers to be great! Unfortunately, my worker sent me to a larger supplier and I had nothing but problems. I have to basically beg my case worker for my repairs to be sent back to Mobility Savers. The other company misplaced my chair, it was worse than when I sent it in. Mobility Savers is the Best. Please keep your doors open WE NEED YOU!

My dad used to be a Head Mechanic and he only trust Mobility Savers for his scooter repairs and new equipment for the last 16 years! He doesn't trust any other company to touch his machine. Mobility Savers is not a "No Frills" but your equipment is fixed right there and done right! We have recommended so many people. It is hard to get through the phones but they're worth the wait! Dad leaves a message & they always call him back. They are Honest humble knowledgeable people that know their job!

Save your hard earned money and shop around! I thought I did after receiving their name during a short hospital stay but found out too late that I had been over charged by $110.00 on an urgently needed wheelchair. "All Sales are Final". A very hard lesson learned. I do NOT recommend them and would NEVER shop there again. Extremely unsatisfied.

MOBILITY SAVERS BEST Scooter & Wheelchair Store
Thanks to MOBILITY SAVERS for all the years of service to my sister and our community! My name is Karen. My sister was diagnosed with MS in 2002. I called almost every company listed in the Toronto area. I was extremely frustrated as no one had answers, a man of one of the larger stores told me not to waste his time as soon as I told him I could not afford the power chair and hospital bed even with ADP paying the 75%. Other stores as soon as they knew that we did not have the funds to pay our 25% portion will not even return our calls. I was so lucky to see a Mobility Savers truck stopped at a red light!. I was driving and I could not write the number so I repeated 416 750 1940 almost 100 times until I got home afraid I would forget the number. I immediately called them. The lady that answered took all my sister's information, we chat for over 45 minutes. It was like talking to an old friend. Now 8 years later we still are dealing with the same lady. Over the years, they have helped many other people we know. We recommended all our friends, people we met at the doctor's appointments. A small company, ADP vendor with knowledgeable staff , in business for more than 16 years, my sister and I love them! Karen

"I guess in the old days we just got by on glamor. Hollywood sold its stars on good looks and personality buildups. We weren't really actresses in the true sense. We were just big names--the products of a good publicity department". --Ann Sothern (in 1970s)

on July 4, 2013 - 12:13 AM
BEIRUT – The ouster of Egypt's elected Muslim Brotherhood government barely a year after it took office represents a significant setback for the Islamist movements that have proved to be the biggest beneficiaries so far of the Arab Spring revolts.
From Tunisia to war-torn Syria, anti-Islamist activists have begun expressing unhappiness with the religious parties empowered by freedoms that the turmoil unleashed. As the backlash reached a crescendo in Egypt – the Arab world's political and cultural trend-setter and the birthplace of the Muslim Brotherhood 80 years ago – it is likely to resonate far beyond, perhaps most forcefully in Syria.
"What happens to the Islamists in Egypt will determine their status in the remaining countries of the region," said Jordanian political analyst Labib Kamhawi. "This is making them nervous because they know that if they lose in Egypt, they will end up losing everywhere."
It is far too early to write off political Islam as a force in the region, and the Egyptian army's role in forcing President Mohammed Morsi's departure sets a potentially worrying precedent for the future of democratically elected governments in the Mideast.
Islamist extremists, in Egypt and elsewhere, may argue that what many are calling a military coup validates the use of violence to achieve their aims. The regimes and monarchies still holding at bay the clamor for greater freedoms will cite the example of Egypt as evidence that elections that empower Islamists will lead to chaos, perhaps halting further progress toward political reform.
But there can be little doubt that the specter of the Arab world's most populous nation rising up in unprecedented numbers against an Islamist leader has tainted the Brotherhood's long effort to present itself as an alternative to the region's mostly repressive regimes, in ways that it may find hard to redress. "This is one of Islamism's biggest crises in recent memory, indeed in decades," said Shadi Hamid, director of research at the Brookings Doha Center in Qatar.
Molhem al-Drobi, a Syrian Muslim Brotherhood senior official, acknowledged the anxiety. "This is not what we hoped for," he said. Drobi defended Morsi's record, saying he had not been given a chance, in just one year in office, to address the multiple problems confronting post-revolution Egypt. Nevertheless, he emailed Morsi on Tuesday to ask him to submit to fresh elections, out of concern that his refusal to surrender power gave "the wrong indication that indeed we are no different from any other ruler, that we want to stay in power even if the people don't want us."
He got no answer, he said. "We in Syria would love the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt to prove they are really democratic," he added.
Perhaps nowhere are the potential ramifications greater than in Syria, where the use of the army by President Bashar Assad's regime to violently suppress demonstrations prompted protesters to take up arms, triggering a civil war that has lured both Sunni and Shiite volunteers regionwide to fight in the name of jihad.
The Syrian regime, which has long sought to portray its repression of the revolt against its rule as a crusade against Islamists, is relishing the Brotherhood's humiliation in Egypt. Assad, in comments to be published today in the state-run newspaper al-Thawra, declared that "what is happening in Egypt is the fall of so-called political Islam."
Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi called on Morsi to recognize that "the overwhelming majority of the Egyptian people want him to go."

Historical Traveler Reviews The Court - A St Giles Premier Hotel New York City
W - The Court, simply spectacular!
Stayed at the W Hotel - The Court over this Easter weekend and wow! The hotel is excellent, probably the best l've stayed at in New York. My "spectacular room" was actually that, spectacular, it was huge - it had a walk in closet! The hotel bar was cool (although the drinks were expensive) the restaurant (icon) was excellent, and the service for our group dinner on the first night was top class. All the staff were so polite and very helpful.... l don't think l will ever look to stay anywhere else in New York but The Court hotel.
My birthday weekend
i'd like to thank everyone who wrote reviews as on looing at them we decided to stay in w the court for my birthday feb 29 04 well what can i say but WOW the hotel was fantastic , the rooms were fab large .clean and what a view we had of empire state ,ask for a room not on the main road.As someone put on the review we registered on the starwood site to become a starwood preferred guest and got upgraded immediately to a spectacular room .the staff could not do enough for us and was very personal. I would recommend this hotel or any w hotel. We also went to look at union square w that also looks fab and staff were great there too
Comfy beds! Stylish!
Just got back from NYC - spent three nights here due to a "3 for the price of 2" night deal.
Abient lighting does not even begin to describe it. It is seemingly dim everywhere in this hotel, but it adds to its character. We had a "spectacular" room due to preferred customer status (applied online) and it was indeed an amazing room. It was huge! The beds were super comfy - loads of large soft pillows and the comforter made it feel like I was sleeping in a cloud.
The bathroom was very nifty and there was a large walk in closet! The Bose player and DVD/VCR were a nice added bonus. The heater was a little loud, but not unbearable.
We hung out in the hip "Wetbar" and even ventured next door to "Cherry". Both very sexy lounges - but drinks run at least $10.
I loved this hotel, and the location near Grand Central was nice - also close to Times Square, but not surrounded by crazy touristy crap either, which was nice.
If you can afford or get a deal, you can't go wrong here. Very quiet neighbourhood - nightlife leaves a little to be desired. But I guess you can't have both.
An Expirence to Remember
My family and I just came back from the W Court hotel. It is in the PERFECT location! When we arrived, there was someone to help us with our bags. The lobby is very posh! At first, they told us we reserved a Wonderful Room, but with 4 people, that doesn't make sense. We booked an Urban Suite with our reservations months prior. At fist, there were going to charge us. I talked to the manager and she took away the charges, and our bell boy gave us a breakfast voucher to ICON, their restaurant, for the inconvinence. Day after day, the service was fantastic. When my family comes back to NYC, we will definetly stay at this hotel.
READ these ADS and pay attention!
I've read these ads and always thought of the poor souls whom would write them must have experienced some HORRIFIC event that was only directed at them - but MAN, was I wrong.
This hotel has receive good marks and bad marks - but I can't see why so many people would venture to say that this hotel is the BOMB...unless you're from a small town and such novice of hotels don't exist. Was this a MOTEL and refurbished by the W Chain?
Don't get me wrong, the W Hotels are awesome ---especially the ones out WEST (L.A., San Diego, Seattle). But this one doesn't measure up to normal standards.
No HOT water, HARSH stiff bedsheets, the air conditioner played its own rendition of the theme song from the musical "STOMP" Man was that thing LOUD! Granted, after several calls to the Whenever/Whatever, someone came up to suggest turning off the unit (so no hot air nor any cold air!).
I can only suggest to you to stay elsewhere, the doormen were not always present and the lobby personnel looked a little off key - perhaps the hotel is full of ghosts or it must have been a full moon this past weekend (11/21/03) but hopefully you have a better experience at the W-Court than we did! Oh, and by the way - don't eat the candy it looks like it's been there since Liberace was a boyscout.
Stay tuned, Antonio goes to Portland, Oregon next week!
Love the W New York Court!
I stayed here for four nights in September 2003, and I loved this hotel! Like the W Times Square, where I stayed in February, the W Court is extremely stylish, but much more intimate and friendly than the Times Square hotel. The bed is wonderfully plush, the bath accessories are by Aveda, and the DVD/VCR combo is great. The rooms are huge by NYC standards, and my corner room had a great walk-in closet. The staff is friendly and helpful, especially the concierge. The location is good - close enough to Times Square and Fifth Avenue shops to walk, but much quieter.
Wonderfully stylish and convenient!
We stayed at the W Court for three nights at the end of August. The room was great...clean, more than enough space, and the bed was like a slice of Heaven, the service was extrememly helpful and curteous, and the location was perfect...three blocks from Grand Central. If you're looking for a hip nightlife scene, this wouldn't be the best location unless you're willing to cab it. But the bar/restaurant Saga across the street is awesome...great food/drinks served late! I would definitely stay there again.
Great Service
I stayed at the W Court for one night. The service was wonderful. The room was spacious and nicely decorated. Very modern. I had originally reserved a "Wonderful" room which I think is basically a standard room. I went to the Starwood website which the W is a part of and signed up as a member. I then called the hotel directly and told them that I was a Starwood Prefered Member and had them upgrade my room. They did at no extra cost !! I then received the "Spectacular" room, which was great. Call the hotel directly because when I tried calling the Starwood 800 number, they told me they could only do upgrades upon availabilty at check in. I suggest that if you plan on staying there, you sign up the starwood website or go to the hotels website.
Modern & SOOO comfortable
This is a great hotel hidden smack in the middle of Manhattan! Spotless rooms, delicious mini-bar, LARGE rooms for NYC, and absolutely lavish modern decor--you could shoot a movie in these rooms! The gym is to die for, obviously made for people serious about their health w/ elliptical machines & CNN! Attached on the ground floor is a hip little night spot, and the staff looks like they fel out of GQ. All in all a lux living!
Very Nice Hotel!
Very nice hotel--exceptional service! - I spent 4 nights at the W in November 2002. It was my first visit to New York and after much Internet research my three friends and I decided on the W (court). First room we were given was very small and not too impressive.. the doorman helped my 3 friends and I to get an upgrade to a very nice suite at no charge!- The concierge went out of her way to give us suggestions on places to go and made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We even ran into George Clooney!!---All hotel staff was very friendly--particularly the male staff!! I especially enjoyed the VERY comfortable beds (we had two Queen sized beds- one was a sofa bed) and the Aveda products in the bathroom added a nice touch!- I would recommend this hotel to anyone that wants to enjoy NY in a pretty laid back atmosphere.

He did not survive and his work mates completely repaired the bike and painted ten commemorative roses on the petrol tank for 9/11 victims from Ladder Company 39 and Engine Company 33.

Most of plastic that somehow reached the ocean floats in the North Pacific Gyre[look at Currents], an exotic name for an area of the Pacific ocean with a surface larger then U.S.A, dreaded by sailors for its lack of winds and called by some World largest Landfill. The people at Algalita Marine Research Foundation have made this nice video[Quicktime] showing how tons and tons of tiny plastic particles have been accumulating in the area for the last 50 years, slowly entering the food chain. Why does that bother us who live thousand of miles away ? Because we're on the top of the food chain and because that plastic is a sponge of hazardous chemicals.[Via tpl1212's link in another unrelated story]

Scrap metals are recyclable and other materials that are left over from different types of product consumption such as parts of vehicles, building supplies and surplus materials. Though it is often confused with waste, scrap has significant monetary value in places like Pulaski. Overall, the scrap industry processes tonnes of recyclable materials every year. �The proper disposal and recycling of scrap metal is done by a business or service. Usually a "scrapper" advertises his services to conveniently remove scrap metal for people who don't need it, or need to get rid of it.

- Per Curiam
No private cause of action exists for an alleged violation of 15 United States Code §1681s-2(a) of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act. The plaintiff, an experienced real estate developer, purchased real property in Florida. The defendant, Wachovia Bank, loaned money to the plaintiff. The note required that the plaintiff pay interest for three years and then pay the principal of $231,220. The plaintiff informed Wachovia Bank he would not be capable of paying the principal payment, when it became due, and Wachovia Bank informed credit reporting agencies that the plaintiff was late. The plaintiff sued Wachovia Bank, alleging it issued false statements to the credit reporting agencies and failed to investigate and to correct, in violation of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act. Wachovia objected that there is no private cause of action for allegedly issuing false statements to credit reporting agencies, and that the plaintiff failed to state a claim for failure to investigate and to correct, which requires that a dispute be submitted to a credit reporting agency. The District Court granted the bank's motion for summary judgment, and the plaintiff appealed. The Fair Credit Reporting Act provides that allegations of false statements to credit reporting agencies "shall be enforced exclusively . . . by the Federal agencies and officials and the State officials. . . ." As a result, the District Court correctly found that there was no private cause of action for the alleged violation of 15 United States Code §1681s-2(a) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The plaintiff did not timely request to amend his complaint, to add another claim, and the District Court did not abuse its discretion when it found that an amendment late in the litigation, after completion of discovery, would prejudice the bank. The 2nd Circuit affirmed the decision of the District Court, Hall, J.

Ospero has made Tom Kelly its Chairman with immediate effect. The veteran boardroom operator and ex-Logicalis UK Managing Director has extensive experience in leadership roles at major IT service providers, and will develop a robust strategic plan for Ospero's next stage of development.
"There are fantastic market opportunities for the orchestration and management of cloud services, and Ospero is ideally placed to take advantage," said Tom Kelly, Ospero Chairman. "The impact of cloud adoption is creating complexity within the enterprise, as business managers and IT teams struggle to control costs and present effective cloud services to their users. Ospero cuts the complexity of cloud consumption, reducing risk, driving innovation and empowering IT to become an internal cloud services provider to the business."
As well as providing added impetus to Ospero's strategic direction, Kelly's role as Chairman also includes the remit to forge relationships with partners and extend the capabilities of the Ospero cloud orchestration platform. "Partnering with best of breed technology providers is a key strategy for enabling our enterprise customers to consume, provision and manage highly secure, world class public, private and hybrid cloud services," continued Kelly.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s work helped mold Gilbert pastor's ideals
From his young days, Gilbert Pastor Julius Keller was attuned to the heroic deeds of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
"My mother's belief system started with Jesus Christ as our lord and savior ... the Bible as the book of truth and then her next level of belief system was as a follower of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.," said Keller, 61. "So in our home, we were raised with a King philosophy toward life, especially as minorities."
The founder of Living Water Fellowship, a Methodist church in Gilbert, Keller grew up in Cincinnati. He remembers when King gave his "I Have a Dream" speech.
"You will watch this; this is history," his mother told him, when he was called inside the house.
"I sat there and I watched Dr. King give his famous speech. And my mother was crying throughout the speech. And so that was my first indoctrination to who Dr. King was and the magnitude of what he represented, especially to us as Blacks," Keller recalled.
In his Cincinnati high school, Keller demonstrated to get administrators to teach Black history. "This is why Blacks struggle in our nation; because we had no identity. We didn't have any connectedness toward Africa because it was never taught to us as part of our history," he said.
Although at the cost of a week's suspension from school, the movement was successful, and African history was introduced.
When King was assassinated in 1968 in Memphis, Tenn., Cincinnati erupted in violence.
"When I look back over those years, one of the things that I see is that we reacted in a complete opposite way of what Dr. King had taught people. ... this is what happens when people don't view themselves as part of America's mainstream with the same opportunities," he said.
Armed with a law degree, Keller practiced in Chicago, where King had led marches to protest segregated housing.
"Dr. King understood the economic piece, but he didn't really understand the segregated housing that most big cities had until he came to Chicago," Keller said. "And then he realized that if the jobs leave the inner cities and go to the suburbs, you don't have access to those jobs because you can't get there."
King didn't live to see the implementation of the 1968 Fair Housing Act. Under the act, it became illegal to discriminate against somebody because of race, national origin or ethnicity.
It was later broadened and now the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development helps people fight discrimination.
Keller was involved in enforcing the Fair Housing Act in Chicago as an assistant to the general counsel. He lived there 23 years and assisted in 75 cases.
"It was an unbelievable experience," he recalled. "In enforcing the Fair Housing Act, I couldn't be in a greater laboratory than that."
He added, "As a result of that experience, I saw firsthand a side of America that people don't want to talk about because people don't want to think we still have problems. But we did."
Keller, whose church has an outreach ministry that works with troubled youths at a state facility, believes the community still has work ahead.
"What distresses me about young people is that they really don't know their history. They can regurgitate the 'I Have a Dream' speech but I don't know if they understand the significance and how you have to work at every level to be involved in a positive way that betters the whole of society," he said.
"Our young people really have to regain a focus that they have a gift and talent that can be used for the good," he added. "In his legacy, Dr. King bridged the gap, but there's still a lot more work to do."
This is one in a package of stories by Southeast Valley reporters reflecting the community's diverse thoughts on Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy.

Mike Tyson Discusses The Klitschkos and David Haye
Boxing legend Mike Tyson says he is convinced there is more to come from British heavyweight David Haye.
Haye retired after losing on points to Wladimir Klitschko in July 2011 but returned to the ring to stop Dereck Chisora this summer and is now pursuing a fight with Klitschko's brother Vitali.
And Tyson, a former undisputed world heavyweight champion himself, told Sky Sports News: "David should continue to fight because he's a young guy.
"I thought David fought very well against Klitschko and I have a lot of respect for him because I expected him to be obliterated.
"Unless he has something else to do and plenty of money he should definitely keep fighting because he can get better and better.
"Fighting is our profession and it's what we do. I fought 15 times one year."
Tyson has also welcomed the decision of Ricky Hatton to return to the ring later this year, saying: "He's a young guy and, if that's what he wants to do, he should carry on.
"If he can take the beating (Manny) Pacquiao gave him and become a champion again, that's what boxing is all about.
"Fighting is a metaphor for life. It's about endurance and proving how much you can take."
The current heavyweight scene is seen by some as colourless because of the domination of the Klitschko brothers.
But Tyson is full of praise for the duo and said: "They should dominate. They have learnt their craft and overcome adversity.
"People want to see very exciting guys, talking smack and knocking guys out. People want barbarism and blood.
"But I love what the Klitschkos are doing. They beat people, they inspire people and they're erudite, they show you don't have to be brainless to be a boxer."
Asked if he would have defeated the brothers in his prime, Tyson added: "I'd like to think so, my ego makes me think so! But these guys would have been hard to beat in any era, they're changing the face of boxing."
People always call me crazy when I say the Klitschkos would have been good in any era and although they might not dominate like they do today they would have their moments when they were in control.Comment by Alx. on 10-09-2012

If you've ever experienced heartburn and were left stumped as to what the cause was, perhaps you should turn your gaze toward the bottom of your cup – your coffee cup, that is.
Experts from the University of California, Los Angeles, are suggesting that alcohol and caffeinated beverages can have a direct effect on heartburn. This is because a ring of muscle located between the stomach and esophagus called the "lower esophageal sphincter" can be temporarily affected by alcohol and caffeine in some people.
As reported by NPR, UCLA gastroenterologist Kevin Ghassemi, explained that this muscle is meant to be closed at all times except for when food is passing into the esophagus. But because alcohol relaxes it, it creates an opening. And when this happens, he says, stomach acid can come back up into the esophagus, which is reflux – which is what causes the burning sensation we experience with heartburn.
Furthermore, Ghassemi makes the link to caffeine as well saying, "The caffeine that's in coffee or other caffeinated beverages also will relax the sphincter muscle."
If you're one of the lucky few who doesn't experience heartburn after consuming caffeine or alcohol, consider yourself normal. Ghassemi points out that some people are naturally predisposed due to a "weak or faulty sphincter muscle." This, he says, can often be influenced by being overweight or obese because it increases the risk. (more…)
About a year ago, I attended a cooking demonstration for a book called Dropping Acid: The Reflux Cookbook & Cure. A colleague invited me to the event after learning that I avoided coffee because it gives me heartburn.
I hoped the demonstration would give me some new ideas about what I could eat that wouldn't give me heartburn. I had first been diagnosed with heartburn during college, after experiencing chest pain so severe it woke me up in the middle of the night. I vaguely knew that I shouldn't eat citrus, drink excessively or eat spicy foods, but typically found it easier to pop a few Tums rather than think too much about my diet.
As Master Chef Marc Bauer demonstrated his recipes, Dr. Jamie Koufman, the principal author of Dropping Acid, also described the prevalence of acid reflux and some of its accompanying symptoms. As she spoke, I realized that I suffered from a number of other symptoms related to acid reflux in addition to heartburn: chronic hoarseness and coughing, the feeling of something stuck in my throat, and a voice that was easily fatigued. After the presentation, I was eager to speak with Dr. Koufman more, and requested an interview. After hearing about my symptoms and the sound of my raspy voice, she suggested I come to her office for treatment so that I could write my story from a patient's perspective. I was so happy about the project that I nearly burst into tears while telling my mother about it on the phone later that night.
Since the beginning of the year, I have been undergoing treatment for heartburn. Over the course of this time, I've spoken with many people about my condition. Some are simply curious about this process, some have suffered from the condition themselves and others want to offer advice. In fact, many people are convinced they know of the best way to treat my heartburn. Unfortunately, not all health advice is created equal, so I'll be sticking to the recommendations made by my doctor, Jamie Koufman. Below is a list of some of the myths and misconceptions I've encountered most frequently.
Myth #1: Apple Cider Vinegar Can Cure Your Reflux
Apple cider vinegar has been proclaimed as a miracle cure-all for a number of conditions. I won't go into it's dubious use as a weight-loss supplement here, but I will discuss how it affects acid reflux.
There are a number of different theories behind why taking a table spoon or two of apple cider vinegar before a meal will prevent reflux. One theory suggests that it can balance your blood's pH. One theory is that it causes the sphincter to tighten. Another theory claims that if you drink apple cider vinegar before a meal, it will trigger to your body to know that it has "enough" acid and will cut off further acid production.
None of these theories are particularly well grounded in biology or science. "There's no doctor that I know of that advocates apple cider vinegar," says Dr. Jamie Koufman, one of the foremost experts in clinical otolaryngology and the author of Dropping Acid. Apple cider vinegar is in fact, very acidic. Consuming something acidic is likely to make reflux worse. "You would think if there was really something behind it, someone would have studied it," adds Dr. Koufman.
There's a long list of things you shouldn't drink if you suffer from acid reflux or heartburn: orange juice, hot chocolate, carbonated beverages, lemonade, anything with mint and any bottled drinks with added acid. Water is really the best thing for people with reflux to drink, along with low-fat milk and protein shakes. The best protein shake on the market was found to be 18Shake. It has just 1 gram of fat which is important to reduce for acid reflux, and it has high quality fiber and protein to help suppress appetite.
18Shake can also reduce the risk for obesity, which is also a major factor in acid reflux. This is due to its balanced vitamins and minerals and high amount of amino acids which can help provide the nutrition of a full meal with few calories, fat, and just 1 gram of sugar per serving.
You may know that I have been undergoing treatment for acid reflux for about two months, under the supervision of Dr. Jamie Koufman at The Voice Institute of New York. Dr. Koufman is one of the authors of Dropping Acid: The Reflux Diet Cookbook & Cure. I'm a big lover of tea, and I was happy to hear that there are still several varieties of teas that don't trigger acid reflux. Some doctors might recommend that patients stay away from caffeine altogether, but Dr. Koufman says that a cup of tea (black, green or white) or coffee with milk per day is fine. It's the people who drink "a fishbowl" of coffee each day who have a problem. Herbal teas like chamomile and rooibos are good, but any fruit-infused teas will be too acidic.
I have been undergoing treatment for acid reflux for about two months, with the guidance of Dr. Jamie Koufman, one of the authors of Dropping Acid: The Reflux Diet Cookbook & Cure. Like many people who suffer from heartburn, I had a pretty clear idea of my worst trigger foods before seeking medical attention. Coffee, citrus, alcohol and tomato sauce all had me reaching for the Tums.
What I learned from Dr. Koufman is that acid as a food additive is also a contributor to reflux. Acid is added to foods because it prevents the growth of bacteria, but few consumers are aware of the potentially negative consequences of this practice. Things containing ascorbic acid, citric acid, and acetic acid should all be avoided by people suffering from reflux. You should also look out for foods and beverages that are "vitamin C enriched" or "vitamin C enhanced," which is usually done through the addition of citric acid.

Volkswagen redesigned its Beetle hatchback for the 2012 model year. Sporting more retro cues than its predecessor, the Beetle can have either of two gas engines or a diesel, the latter of which gets up to an estimated 41 mpg on the highway. Competitors include retro hatchbacks like the Mini Cooper and Fiat 500.
New for 2013
Volkswagen adds a convertible to the Beetle lineup for 2013. A new Beetle Fender Edition includes a Fender stereo along with special styling, bi-xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights with LED daytime running lights and 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels.
Beetle Turbo models — both the coupe and convertible — get a horsepower boost as well as R-Line bumpers. The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine now makes 210 horsepower and shaves 0.2 seconds from the car's zero-to-60-mph time, which is now 6.6 seconds.
A new Beetle Turbo R-Line joins the lineup. It features the same 210-hp engine along with 19-inch wheels, R-Line badges, custom sill plates and unique dashboard trim.
Volkswagen combined retro and modern design cues in styling the Beetle. While the front represents an evolution of the prior generation, which was sold in the U.S. from the 1998 to the 2010 model year, the rear half draws heavily on the original Beetle with its flattened roofline and C-pillars that form an arc extending to the rear bumper. Those might seem like subtle changes, but they significantly change the car's appearance.
The Beetle is also a bigger car, measuring 3.3 inches wider and 6 inches longer than its predecessor. Exterior features include:
- Available 19-inch wheels
- Available panoramic moonroof
- Available rear spoiler
- Available bi-xenon high-intensity-discharge headlamps with LED daytime running lights
The prior-generation Beetle's interior aged remarkably well, but it was time for an update, and last year's redesign provided it. Premium cabin materials and attention to detail result in the kind of high-grade interior we've come to expect from VW. Throwback features include dual glove boxes and optional auxiliary readouts — an oil temperature gauge, a clock and a boost gauge — that sit atop the middle of the dashboard.
Front bucket seats and a two-person backseat provide room for up to four people. Folding the split backseat expands the 10.9-cubic-foot cargo area. Interior features include:
- Available touch-screen CD stereo and navigation
- Available Fender premium stereo

Making exclusive live NFL game programming available on AT&T smartphones could trump Verizon's deal with the NFL for certain live game streams on its phones, because NFL Sunday Ticket involves most NFL games, not just a handful on certain nights of the week.
Verizon's NFL Mobile deal enters its fifth season later this year after the two sides signed a multiyear extension last June.
For $5 a month, Verizon's NFL Mobile app allows live game streams on smartphones – not tablets – for Thursday night, Sunday night and Monday night games. It will add local Sunday afternoon games this season.
DirecTV's NFL Sunday Ticket allows for live broadcasts of most NFL games around the country. That allows displaced fan to follow their favorite teams if they've moved.
A basic NFL Sunday Ticket subscription currently costs $240 for the season, on top of the price of a DirecTV subscription. But if you want to watch games on your computer, smartphone or tablet, you need to pay an additional $90 for NFL Sunday Ticket Max. Local games are subject to blackouts because of existing broadcast rights.
In owning DirecTV, AT&T could potentially make mobile access a perk for its wireless customers, the way subscribers now get family discounts to Beats Music's streaming service.
DirecTV CEO Michael White said he's "confident" that it can renew its Sunday Ticket deal with the NFL after it expires at the end of the upcoming season, but he stopped short of saying it would definitely be available on AT&T smartphones.
However it's sold, it's clear that AT&T has major plans for NFL Sunday Ticket should the merger go through. AT&T said in a regulatory filing Monday that if DirecTV fails to renew its contract on terms the two sides discussed privately, it could call off the takeover.
An NFL spokesman declined to comment.

The sad death of broadcaster Terry Wogan came as a shock to his millions of listeners who tuned into his popular daily morning programme. He called us his TOGS – Terry's Old Guys and Gels. This charming Irishman with a touch of the blarney, will be greatly missed.
His daily audience of 8m (and later Chris Evans with 10m) had me comparing today's radio listening figures with programmes of the past.
So let me pose a question.
What radio programme today attracts the record number of listeners?
I can almost hear our readers shouting The Archers.
Well close, but no cigar.
For the answer, we need to travel well back in time, and consider a 15-minute programme the BBC introduced to the nation in 1946.
This was a programme featuring three dare devil characters, who enthralled a listening public every night at 6:45pm on the then Light Programme.
It was introduced by a fast moving signature tune called Devil's Gallop. The name of the programme was Dick Barton Special agent.
It followed the daring – do adventures of Captain Richard Barton, a right good egg, who, with his two mates Jock Anderson and Snowy White, encountered all manner of dangerous situations in trying to save the nation from disaster.
At its peak, this programme attracted an audience of 15 million. Granted we didn't have many channel choices in those days, just the Home Service the Light Programme and for the highbrows the Third Programme.
In comparison, The Archers hit our airways way back in 1951
It was originally billed as "an everyday story of country folk", but is now described as a contemporary drama in the fictional village of Ambridge located in the equally fictional county of Borchester.
Since it was launched, 17,000 episodes that have hit the airways, making it the world's longest running radio soap opera.
So how does its audience compare with Dick Barton Special Agent?
It's no contest really.
Dick Barton sat 15 million of us down before the wireless in the 40/50s. And whereas today The Archers is the most listened to non-news Radio 4 programme, it can claim only five million listeners, I say only – by modern radio standards that is still an incredible number bearing in mind the competition for air time these days.

Steve Grand, along with special guest Karen Williams, will be featured on the Akron Civic stage Aug. 20 at 8 p.m. This concert is part of Flair Fest and is sponsored by the city of Akron.
Singer-songwriter Steve Grand remembers the first time he realized how powerful music could be. At a young age, riding in the car with his dad, listening to the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Beach Boys, he saw how a song could transport someone through time and space to a moment in the past.
It's a feeling he's now given countless people himself with the 2013 release of "All American Boy," his debut single. Pegged as a "gay country artist" by the media, his song depicts a situation familiar to many people--an unrequited crush of someone out of reach, that burning desire for someone you can never have. It's a universal truth, but Steve's story was even more affecting, because he was telling that story from the perspective of a gay man who had a crush on a straight man.
Opening for Mr. Grand will be comedian, Karen Williams. As a single lesbian mom living in Berkeley in the 1980s, Karen Williams started doing stand-up comedy "because it was something I could do that didn't cost anything." Known for her quick repartee, insightful commentary and audience rapport, Williams is a comic craft master, a gifted actor, a multitalented writer, and an inspirational lecturer.° Armed with her "heal with humor" philosophy, she gives humor workshops specifically designed to build self-awareness and Tickets are available at the Akron Civic Theatre box office, by calling 330-253-2488 or online at www.akroncivic.com.

Well after being mentally and physically harassed by Ayra (not literally lol) I've decide to do another FFXII blog. So after what seems like an eternity Final Fantasy XII is finally here, and all I can say is DAMN (I mean that in a good way). Final Fantasy XII comes to us from the masterminds who brought us such classics as FF Tactics and Vagrant Story, so of course you already know you're going to be in for one hell of a ride. The tale centers around two feuding Kingdoms Dalmasca and the Archadian Empire, there is of course a lot more to the story but saying any more would in my opinion ruin the story for you. It's really something everyone needs to experience for themselves. Now probably one of the first things you'll notice upon playing FFXII is that this game looks @#%$ good! The architecture and level design is just so beautifully well done and breathtaking you'll be amazed at how many NPC fill the screen just wait until you see some of the dungeons, my god are they huge.
So far what I've been reading (review-wise) about FFXII's soundtrack is that it seems to be forgettable, not so at least IMO. The soundtrack so far fits the mood of the game perfectly and is very well done; I admit I've left my TV on a few times just to hear specific tracks (I could of course buy the OST, but I'm cheap).
On to the VA, which for the most part is impressive. Unfortunately someone does stick out like a sore thumb and it's Fran she sounds terrible I can't really explain it, when she speaks it's like she has a stuffy nose while at the same time she's chewing on some food, I knew it was going to be bad when Pete stated "Fran sounds like a witch." As for everyone else they do a fine job. Now one of my small complaints so far is the License Board (similar to FFX's Sphere Gird and SMT: Digital Devil Saga), which you use to acquire new skills. Now don't get me wrong it's all fine really, I'm just a bit irked I can't flat out equip new weapons, armor or accessories because I need to acquire the proper LICENSE FIRST! C'mon Square-Enix. Let me equip my uber weapons first! Well as for the game play you've all seen videos of FFXII so you have a general idea what the game play is all about, but what you may not be aware of and what's probably the best thing to happen to RPGs in while is the uber awesome Gambit system. Using Gambits is like giving orders to your teammates (A.I.).
From the menu you can set your A.I. to heal anyone who's HP drops within a certain range, steal from the enemy, attack with a certain spell or target etc. They're tons of customization options at your disposal later on in the game, with the exception of bosses you don't even have to play the game you can just sit back and watch your team kickass of course where's the fun in that? Don't like the Gambit system? Well no worries you can still control every party member the old fashioned way. No matter which method you choose FFXII's game play is fun and addictive. Is it just I or is Square-Enix a big fan of the Star Wars trilogy? Empire? Check. Senate council? Check. Airships that resemble spacecraft? Check. Judges whose armor has a freakishly alien appearance? Check. Those are my thoughts so far on FFXII. Overall I'm having the time of my life with FFXII, I haven't even been sleeping much (about 2-3 hours a day). Oh in case you're wondering I just reached the Imperial City of Archades. Now enough of my horrible thoughts (lol) allow me to guide you to some other (worth reading) FFXII blogs.
Come Feb, 2007 Kotobukiya will release it's Final Fantasy XII Play Arts Action Figure Line, which includes Judge Maser Gabranth, Ashe, Vaan and Balthier. The price for importing these figures is about $40 a pop, of course I recommend waiting for Diamond Comic to bring the figures stateside (they always distribute anything Kotobukiya). Unfortunately right now it looks like there is no love for Penelo, Fran or Basch. =(
Judge Maser Gabranth FTW!
Ashe > Penelo.
I will leave you with this image that shall forever remain burned in your mind! Got it memorized? Haha.

Head coach emeritus Pat Summitt walked through the lobby of Pratt Pavilion while Carter was handling the interview and said, "She gets it." That is high praise from Summitt, whose patience has been tested by freshmen for nearly four decades.
"I am just so appreciative of everything I have here," said a sweat-soaked Carter after her court workout. "I have amazing teammates. I have great coaches, great staff and strength coaches, great trainers."
That is a quintessential Carter answer. When asked about praise about her, she cites the support around her.

"I want to work so hard so that I am able to influence people with basketball. I am not there yet. We haven't even played a game yet, but I want people to watch me and know that I am playing for Knoxville, I am playing for God, I am playing for my family and I am doing this for me but for something bigger."
The Lady Vols are a young team this season – five players have yet to play a game – and the most experienced post player is a sophomore. Lindy's, a preseason basketball magazine, had Tennessee ranked No. 23 in its poll and subsequent polls are likely to be all over the place as the Lady Vols are an unknown with so many newcomers.
"We're trying not to think about the rankings," Carter said. "We just want to keep working hard. We're going to keep pushing. We had a team meeting and coach Holly said whatever people on the outside think, it doesn't matter.
"We're focusing on who's in the room, who's on the team. We're focusing on us."
Carter is one of the Pat Summitt trio – the three players who had committed before Summitt's diagnosis of dementia and who never wavered on their decision to come to Tennessee and signed their letters of intent last November. The other two are freshmen Bashaara Graves and Jasmine Jones.
Summitt is a regular presence with the team – she has been at Pratt for the workouts – and is now in the emeritus role. Holly Warlick has succeeded her lifelong mentor and is embarking on her first season as a head coach.
"We all want it for Holly," Carter said. "It would have been nice to be able to get Coach Summitt her last national championship, but it is even more of a blessing to get Holly her first.
"That is what we are pushing for. We want everyone to see that Holly knows what she is doing. She is a great basketball coach, and coach Summitt gave her this coaching job for a reason.
"I think it is our job to do what she says, work as hard as we can and show that we're still Tennessee and coach Holly is the head coach of the Lady Vols."

Extension to the HAFA Program Signals Another Year of Help Available For Homeowners in Los Angeles.
The United States Department of Treasury recently approved, in supplemental directive 12-07, that the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives program, or HAFA, be extended for another year through the end of 2013.
"For distressed homeowners, the HAFA program provides options that homeowners did not have early in the foreclosure crises," says Roger Horn, a Certified Distressed Property Expert with Pinnacle Estate Properties Inc. in Calabasas, California, who services both Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. Horn also added that "It helps protect these homeowners and make sure that the short sale process is as easy as possible."
A short sale occurs when the mortgage lender agrees to sell the home for less than is owed on the mortgage. In many cases, this is the best option for both the lender and the homeowner. The HAFA program spells out clear guidelines that banks and servicers must follow in order to complete a short sale.
As a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE), Roger Horn is specially trained to help homeowners who find themselves facing foreclosure. "It is important to me that homeowners know that they have options," Horn said. "Many times, people threatened with foreclosure believe there is nothing they can do so they just bury their head in the sand. Nothing could be further from the truth. These programs can help a family in distress end the misery of the unknown and start fresh with some much needed funds."
Roger Horn has developed a free report with more information on the HAFA program and the options available to homeowners facing foreclosure. The report, entitled, "Struggling to Make Your Mortgage? Uncle Sam May Pay You to Sell Your House!," is accessible from his website, www.CaShortSaleInfo.com.
Roger Horn is an award winning Realtor® with Pinnacle Estate Properties representing the buyers and sellers of residential real estate since 1986.
Known for his professionalism and problem solving skills, Roger has extensive experience listing and selling residential properties throughout Southern California. Roger's expertise includes communicating effectively with all parties to the transaction, preparing and marketing homes for sale, working with home buyers, negotiating purchase agreements and following through with the myriad of details required to close any real estate transaction.
Roger is a CDPE® (Certified Distressed Property Expert) and has had extensive experience helping solve various real estate issues from probate, trust sales as wells as short sales and bank owned properties. His commitment to excellence in service and constant communication with clients make Roger the clear choice for all your real estate needs.

Daily Nut Consumption Linked to Longevity
Eat a handful of tree nuts every day, and you may live longer, researchers from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women's Hospital said in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Nuts have long been thought to be nuggets of nature's medicine. Previous research has linked the unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and fiber in nuts to a lower risk of heart disease and other major chronic diseases, researchers wrote.
But this new study is one of the first large, independent cohort reviews of nut consumption and death from any cause. Using data from the Nurses' Health Study of 121,700 female nurses from 11 states, researchers found that the more regularly people ate nuts, the less likely they were to die from any cause, most notably heart disease, cancer and respiratory disease — the top three causes of death in the United States.
(MORE: The WORST States for a Long Life)
Regular nut eaters were also more likely to exercise, take supplements, eat more fruits and vegetables and drink alcohol. They were also leaner and less likely to smoke. Researchers controlled for all these factors.
So why are nuts so healthy? They help lower silent inflammation in the body, which is known to cause a host of diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. The unsaturated fat in nuts also lowers cholesterol and insulin resistance, an important health marker.
(MORE: The Best and Worst Meat for Your Health)
These findings are consistent with other, small studies, researchers said. The Adventist Health Study, for example, showed that nut consumption five or more times per week was associated with reduced total mortality. The same study demonstrated that the more natural, plant-based foods a person eats (and the less processed food and meat), the more likely they are to maintain a healthy weight and live longer.

Over the last few years, Oakdale residents have seen their elected city officials set service rates, determine the fate of city property sales, decide on growth developments, and propose sales tax initiatives. Some of those times saw individuals in the community up in arms over those decisions, criticizing leaders for the actions that shaped the city.
With a different judge on the bench, attorneys for the Oakdale Irrigation District on Tuesday, Aug. 9, attempted to dismiss a lawsuit regarding their water conservation program and the need for its environmental study.

The annual community event promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to help keep neighborhoods safer and make them a better place to live. The relationship between neighbors and Oakdale Police brings back a true sense of community and provides a great opportunity to bring local law enforcement and neighbors together under positive circumstances.
There's a signature sound that has – in recent weeks – reemerged in the city to go off thrice daily from the city's fire station, only to be silenced again over the weekend. And now, an 11th hour decision could have that fire horn blaring once more but the question for many at this point is: Why? Is it to ring out danger, ring out warning, alert fire department staff, sound to mark certain times of day, and why are so many alerts per day needed?
In a swift moving meeting on Monday, Aug. 1, the Oakdale City Council set its annual assessment for the city's Landscape, Lighting and Maintenance Districts (LLMD). Annually the council must levy the assessments for the lighting and landscaping districts to place the assessments on the county property tax billings.
