Healthy Eating
Here you will find tons of information about healthy eating and incorporating the principles of healthy nutrition into your daily life. Built around Dr. Cederquist's nutritional foundation for healthy weight loss, these articles place a wealth of information right at your fingertips.
Has your experience with delivery food been less than satisfactory? Did you open your delicious frozen dinner only to find a bland and tasteless lump? If this scene sounds familiar, it is probably because you were not eating gourmet food. When gourmet food delivered to your door is properly prepared by chefs and nutritionists, you will open a package to find a tasty and healthy meal inside. If you are ready to put the world of bad delivery food behind you, look no further than gourmet food delivered.
Benefits of gourmet food
High Quality. For starters, the quality of gourmet food ensures that you are eating quality wholesome food. Gourmet food typically does not have fillers, chemicals or mysterious components. Since many of the chemical additives in food have negative health impacts, eating gourmet food delivered to your house can improve your health by limiting your intake of these types of chemicals.
Chef Prepared. Gourmet food is prepared by high quality professionals so you know it's going to be good quality. These professional chefs have studied the complex nature of food and understand how to construct taste profiles in order to enhance the dining experience.
Artistically presented. Studies have shown that eating off smaller plates reduces your overall calorie intake, which eventually leads to weight loss. Additionally, artful presentation can help you enjoy the dining experience by enhancing the flavors of the food and emotions associated with eating it.
This link details the best on-line gourmet stores or click here to find a specific gourmet product. While individually buying gourmet items can be expensive, gourmet food delivered programs offer higher quality meals at a fraction of the cost of preparing it on your own.
Additionally, food delivery programs offer their own unique benefits.
Benefits of food delivery
Food delivery programs conveniently ship premade meals directly to your home. If you are interested in weight loss or simply living a healthier life, food delivery could be very beneficial.
Convenient. With food delivery there is no cooking, cleaning, preparing or grocery shopping. Over the course of the week this can give you more free time and help reduce your stress. Click here for a review of diet delivery programs.
Save money. Food programs are often less expensive than their restaurant alternatives. While you could spend between $12 and $30 for dinner at a restaurant, diet delivery programs cut your costs in half.
Balanced meals. Diet delivery programs expertly prepare meals that incorporate proper proportions of protein, carbohydrates, vegetables, sodium, sugar, fat and other key nutrients, which improve your health and reduce the stress and confusion of preparing healthy meals.
Why not combine the best of both worlds and order gourmet food delivered to your house and enjoy the benefits of gourmet food and the convenience of delivery food.

Funding will help Canadian SMEs grow, prosper and create jobs
November 21, 2014 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Industry Canada
The Honourable James Moore, Minister of Industry and Minister Responsible for British Columbia, today announced a major investment in four British Columbia incubator and accelerator organizations that will help innovative small and medium-sized B.C. enterprises grow, prosper and create jobs.
The funds, distributed under the Canada Accelerator and Incubator Program, will ensure Canadian entrepreneurs have access to the resources and expertise needed to develop their business plans, seek follow-on financing and explore new international markets for products and services.
Quick facts
- The BC Technology Industry Association (BCTIA) will receive up to $10.4 million. BCTIA supports the development, growth and advancement of B.C. technology companies of all sizes and in all sectors. Through a variety of innovative incubation and acceleration programs, companies have access to the resources that matter most: mentors, customers, partners and investors.
- HIGHLINE will receive up to $600,000. HIGHLINE, formerly GrowLab Ventures Inc., is a start-up accelerator based in Vancouver and Toronto. This venture capital–backed for-profit organization helps digital entrepreneurs build companies that achieve product-market fit and secure institutional capital. HIGHLINE gives digital founders an edge through timely seed funding, intense mentorship, global connectivity, curated workspace and three months of specialized programming.
- The Centre for Drug Research and Development (CDRD), in collaboration with CDRD Ventures Inc. (CVI), will receive up to $10.9 million. CDRD is a robust incubator and Canada's national not-for-profit drug development and commercialization centre. It aims to de-risk discoveries stemming from academic health research, adding value and transforming them into viable investment opportunities for the private sector. CVI, CDRD's commercialization vehicle, acts as an accelerator, selecting promising technologies with the goal of advancing them to a stage where they can attract licensing or co-development partners or form new spin-off companies.
- Wavefront Wireless Commercialization Centre Society will receive up to $9.5 million. Wavefront is Canada's Centre of Excellence for Wireless Commercialization and Research. It helps accelerate the growth and success of wireless companies, connecting them with critical resources, partners and opportunities, to drive economic and social benefits for Canada.
- These four organizations will provide entrepreneurs in early-stage companies with invaluable resources and access to world-class mentoring and coaching to ensure their success.
- On June 20, 2014, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced the 15 incubators and accelerators that were chosen to advance in the selection process for the Canada Accelerator and Incubator Program (CAIP), which is designed to help outstanding small and medium-sized Canadian enterprises grow, prosper and create jobs.
- Delivered by the National Research Council of Canada's Industrial Research Assistance Program, CAIP provides support in the form of non-repayable contributions to a small and select number of best-in-class accelerators and incubators. Recipients will be required to demonstrate matching contributions on at least a 1:1 basis during the period of the contribution funding.
"By investing in British Columbia's incubator and accelerator organizations, we are ensuring local promising start-up businesses have the resources they need to grow, innovate and create jobs. Our government is pleased to be supporting private sector–led initiatives that will further strengthen our venture capital market."– James Moore, Minister of Industry
"Vancouver is the place to start and grow a technology company. We are a gateway to world markets, we've got access to fantastic talent and our entrepreneurial spirit is globally recognized. Through the support of the Government of Canada and the industry, the BCTIA Innovation Hub has moved from a dream to a reality. The Hub is an open, collaborative place where entrepreneurs and business leaders will make connections, grow companies and create jobs for British Columbia and Canada."– Bill Tam, President and CEO, BC Technology Industry Association
"We are thrilled about receiving CAIP support to further expand services to our portfolio companies that are headquartered here with the ambition to grow into global category leaders. In particular, we will be able to provide new specialized programs that will not only accelerate our start-ups to product-market fit but also shine a national spotlight on top program grads to further help them secure institutional follow-on capital."– Marcus Daniels, Co-Founder and CEO, HIGHLINE
"It is crucial for Canada's R&D ecosystem to be adequately resourced. As an enterprise committed to bridging the commercialization gap between early-stage academic research and industry, CDRD/CVI acknowledges and appreciates its partnership with the federal government—one that has been essential in enabling the significant milestones and outcomes we have realized to date."– Karimah Es Sabar, President and CEO, Centre for Drug Research and Development
"Recognized as Canada's Accelerator of the Year in 2014, Wavefront is committed to accelerating the growth and success of wireless companies in Canada. Our programs connect promising technology innovators with critical resources, partners and opportunities. Funding from CAIP will support expansion across Canada of Wavefront's successful regional programs, helping more Canadian companies gain traction, create jobs and succeed in global wireless and Internet of Things markets."– James Maynard, President and CEO, Wavefront Wireless Commercialization Centre Society

Rarely in his long career has Brendon McCullum faced a summer potentially as pivotal as this.
When the first test against the West Indies starts in Dunedin on December 3, New Zealand will be led by a man who has been among the most brilliant cricketers of the past decade but who is short on runs, battling disc pain in his back and no longer capable of the spectacular glovework which made him a captivating figure on the world stage.
All that said, he remains determined to do right by a group of players he "loves to bits".
But time and stresses have taken their toll. The most recent flare-up with his back - he has two protruding discs pushing on his spinal cord, and some arthritis creeping in - happened in Bangladesh last month.
Coming home, leaving his team behind and in a hole against an increasingly difficult opponent in their own conditions, hurt.
Dark thoughts rattled around his mind.
"Before I went to Bangladesh I was the fittest and strongest I've been and tested off the scales, and still managed to pick up an injury," McCullum said. "There was complete and utter disappointment. I knew it wasn't great.
"That last game (October 31 in Dhaka), I played on pretty heavy painkillers and that's not how the game is meant to be played.
"I was incapable of keeping and was running around like an old man. Knowing I had to leave the tour, leaving the boys behind, was the hardest thing."
He would not go so far as to suggest jacking it all in, but his voice suggests in the grim moments there's a weariness about the whole package, injuries, steering the team, his own form. The back issues are going to be with him for the rest of his playing days, so it's about trying "to put distance between the times it happens and shorten up the recovery period".
Compounding that the runs have dried up. Since the end of England's tour of New Zealand last March, when he was in good form, McCullum has been getting out in ways he shouldn't, not producing the runs he should.
His personal assessment is this: The T20 game is going well, the ODI form was good last summer but has gone quiet, and in tests "I need more runs".
"And as captain I need more runs to have more impact with the message you're delivering to the group. You always want to lead from the front.
"There's huge pressure in the next few tests, not just from the team point of view but the individual as well. I'll certainly leave no stone unturned.
"Let's see how I go and if it doesn't work out we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."
Which segues on to the captaincy. Since taking the job in circumstances which have never been fully explained, at the end of last year when Ross Taylor was removed as skipper, New Zealand have played nine tests, lost four and drawn five.
There have been grim moments but being rolled for 68 in 22.3 overs at Lord's in May, chasing a highly gettable 239 was the lowest point for McCullum.
He remains adamant test success will come, that New Zealand are on the right track, that trying to rejig the structure and personnel once again "we'll go through the same issues we have over the years. We need to have a consistency about it and that's what I'm looking for from us over the next little while".
McCullum kept wicket against England in a test at Leeds in May.
"I blew my back out after about 53 overs when I reached to put a helmet down. I'd love to still be keeping in test cricket but it's just not possible any more.
"I'm just lucky to be able to make the team as a batter, and some people question that, but I haven't picked a team throughout my career," he quipped.
Short form keeping is an area he's cautious about. Luke Ronchi is making a decent fist of the job. McCullum is realistic.
"It's something I've got to look at, and it's not very nice when it's what you've been doing it for a while. It might be either that (finish keeping( or give the game up."
Which brings the final part of this story. He has two children, 9 and 3 and another on the way.
"People think I pick and choose (games to keep wicket) but it's nothing to do with that.
"I've got a 60-year-old back and if I want to be able to lift my kids at 35 it's something I've got to entertain."
McCullum knows there are things he and his family have missed out on in his almost-12 years in the national team.
"It's bloody tough being away from home. I've got kids who've hardly seen me right through their lives and a wife (Ellissa) whose had to bring them up on her own."
Every time he has a bad day at the office, those thoughts jangle about.
Still, he's enjoying the challenge as much as ever, loves his teammates and loves the thought of what his team could achieve "and the small role I could help play in that".
"I believe in this group of players and want to make a difference. Just because I've had a few low scores hasn't changed my thinking. I'm very determined to finish my career in a strong way and leave this team better than when I took over."

West Europe's Socialists on a Tipsy Tandem
By GRAHAM HOVEY ();
June 10, 1968,
, Section , Page 44, Column , words
The greatest causes for concern about West Germany are not the votes won by neo-Nazis in state elections but the malaise in the Social Democratic party and the malfunctioning of Parliament. What is most worrisome about Italy is not that a powerful Communist party increased its vote in the May election by 800,000, but that the Socialists lost onefourth of their following.

The Decemberists were also there, and Colin Meloy took the time to appear with Mavis Staples to perform a version of "The Weight" by the Band during the festival. You can see a shaky fan-shot clip of that song above, which captures the spirit of the collaboration despite the low budget feel—Staples in particular seems to be having a blast. [via CoS]

Date of Stay: August, 2014
These folks are the NICEST people I have ever met. The park is clean, maintained, everything was super nice. If they have a spot open, this is a great place with great people.
Date of Stay: August, 2014
Campground was very well maintained. Owners and staff great and knowledgeable about the area. HENCE, why you should follow their directions to get there on their website instead of your GPS. The back in spots seems to have more room than the pull through site. If I had any complaint at all it would be that there wasn't a fenced pet area - but not the end of the world for sure. I would certainly stay here again.
Date of Stay: January, 2014
We stayed here just one night while passing through. Based on the previous review of a 40' making it through, we decided to come on in. The attendant gave us spot 63, a moon shaped pull through. There was NO way my 40' was gonna be able to pull in that skinny space without taking out the power pole and water, plus low hanging trees kept us out. We spied a second spot, a back in, but again a branch ended that. We eventually found another back in spot but it was very difficult to get into due to the narrow road we were backing in from and branches on the swing side. We made it, but barely and with white knuckles. Since we are in the back of the park, I had a chance to see the whole place, and I would NEVER recommend that anyone bring anything over 36' in here. Also, slides are a problem because of the trees. They need to do some trimming around here big time. Like the previous poster said, the dump station is super narrow with a gigantic tree next to it. I squeezed in with 1 inch to spare. (white knuckles) That being said, once in the spot, the park is ok. There are lots of campers nearby in tents, and a couple of 5th wheels. It's quiet, but I'm ready to leave, and nervous about pulling out. There is a drop off on each side of this narrow site, so pulling out must be precisely done the way I came in. When back in, my back tires had to rotate within 3 inches of the fall off.
Date of Stay: January, 2014
Holy Sticker Burrs Bat Boy! My poor dogs are scar'd for life and I'm still picking goat heads out of my RV, couches, carpet, dog beds, my shoes! If you have dogs or kids, bring tweezers... you're gonna need em. Careful of the water pressure, those things must pump 100 psi or something! On the bright side, it was big and easy to navigate. Also, we were like... 1 of 4 rv's there, so with no one in front of us the sunset and sunrise was awesome through the front glass! Very pretty surroundings. No dog park either. This place could use some serious weed killing on a regular basis. I've never seen so many burrs in my life. You couldn't walk anywhere without being deep in em. I'd sleep in a walmart parking lot over this. I give it a 4 cause the folks there were real nice and the laundry mat was super clean. Improve the landscaping, and the water and this would be a 10.
Date of Stay: January, 2014
Ya know.... it's nice. Everyone here is friendly and helpful. The dog parks are sand lots, so if you have dog that's used to going on grass... there isn't any - anywhere. Our site has fake grass beside it which is nice. My only complaint is that in my 40', the site is REALLY tight, and if the spot directly behind me wasn't empty, I would probably have a tough time turning out. With the 5th and the car behind in front of me, I don't think I could not run over the tree to my left. All I mean is if you are in a 40', it's gonna be tight. I was really happy they had someone here to help guide me into my site. Other than that, everything else is really nice. Nice water hookups, nice electric pedestals, nice dump hookups, all in the right places.
Date of Stay: December, 2013
This place is AWESOME. Everything about it is a 10. This is a resort. Great pool, hot tub, shuffle board, huge outdoor cabana for rent, nice shop, killer awesome sites, beautiful landscaping!!!!! Fishing pond, ping pong, game room, staying here tainted me forever!

Accommodation summary
The comfortable and modern apartment consists of a living and dining area with dining table and sofa that becomes a double bed, fully equipped kitchenette for cooking. On the ground floor there is a bathroom with a shower. The first floor is a very relaxed ambient thanks to the choice of materials with which it was designed in warm parquet floors and ceilings. You will find the main bedroom and a second bedroom with two single beds. Both rooms are extremely bright. Also on the first floor there is another bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer.
The apartment is set in an exclusive complex that consists of 6 apartments completely restructured and refurbished, transforming its outside area into an enchanting garden that can be used to relax while reading and sipping on a drink in the warm weather.
The reconstruction of the building has resulted in an environment where classical elements of the Venetian tradition are combined with elements of modern and elegant styles. Finally the residence has what in Venice is called "porta d'acqua", which, in a city whose streets are canals, is the main entrance where still today our guests can arrive or depart from with water taxis.
This apartment is set in a quiet area but is also close to shopping streets. The Cannaregio district is a well-stocked area with supermarkets, fruit and vegetable markets, bars and typical Venetian restaurants. It is just a short walk to famous sights like the Strada Nuova, il Mercato di Rialto, Saint Mark's square and the palazzo Ca' Vendramin Calergi, home to the municipal Casino of Venice without neglecting that around you can make wonderful excursions such as visits to campo del Ghetto Novo, an ancient Jewish settlement.

Reviews for this host's other properties
We were 5 architects visiting venice for the architecture Biennale. The appartment was next to Arsenale, and it was even more great than it apears in the advertisment photos.
Realy clean, nice, good location, cheap.
Very nice apartment, functional and practical, very well located in Venice. It feels like home. Ideal for families.
Très joli appartement, fonctionnel et pratique, très bien situé dans venise. On se sent comme à la maison. Idéal pour familles.
Nice apartment in a good location, close to the water taxi stop. Wi-Fi nice touch
Housing large, clean and especially VERY WELL LOCATED! rare in Venice. quiet apartment, close to all amenities and the center of everything (Rialto market, Ghetto, St. Mark ...) I RECOMMEND. Sylvain-France
Logement grand, propre et surtout TRES BIEN SITUE !!! rare à Venise. appartement très calme, proche tous commerces et au centre de tout (Rialto, marché, Guetto, saint Marc...) JE RECOMMANDE. Sylvain -France
Nice and central location. Perfect for 4 or less people
The apartment is in a great location, near the Stazione Santa Lucia, so do not go with all the luggage through Venice. The apartment is super nice in a quiet alley, and yet it is only 1-2 minutes among the tourists. The apartment is located on the ground floor and is directly surrounded by a canal. Unfortunately, the heating did not work, and we had cold (but were rare in the apartment and so it did not bother). The house is very loud, but as I said in the holiday anyway you spend only a short time in the apartment. Otherwise, the flat was clean and cozy.
Die Wohnung ist super gelegen, in der Nähe der Stazione Santa Lucia, so muss man nicht mit dem ganzen Gepäck durch Venedig gehen. Die Wohnung liegt super schön in einer ruhigen Gasse, und dennoch ist man in 1-2 Minuten unter den Touristen. Das Apartment befindet sich im Parterre und ist direkt von einem Kanal umgeben. Leider ging die Heizung nicht, und wir hatten kalt (waren jedoch selten in der Wohnung und daher störte es nicht). Das Haus ist sehr ringhörig, aber wie gesagt im Urlaub verbringt man sowieso nur kurze Zeit in der Wohnung. Ansonsten war die Wohnung sauber und gemütlich.
The apartment is very nice and clean, the location is great. I recommend it.
L'appartamento è molto carino e pulito, la posizione è ottima. Lo consiglio.
Ladies and gentlemen. I hereby would like to send you my review of the flat four Mori. The apartment is furnished modern renovated good but very dark. Two points we could not fault specific. The apartment is very moldy. When opening the door a one mold odor meets the very uncomfortable. The cabinets are difficult to use because of the smell. Also, the kitchen is very bad. Lacks pots and other kitchen utensils. On the wall in the bedroom, a large gray spot was about 50 × 80 cm. We had the mold with a vacuum cleaner sucking away.
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren. Ich möchte Ihnen hiermit meine Bewertung über die Wohnung vier Mori schicken. Die Wohnung ist modern eingerichtete gut renoviert allerdings sehr dunkel. Zwei Punkte haben wir konkret zu bemängeln. Die Wohnung ist Sehr schimmelig . Beim Öffnen der Tür kommt einem ein Schimmelgeruch entgegen der sehr unangenehm ist. Die Schränke sind nicht zu benutzen wegen des Geruchs. Außerdem ist die Küche sehr schlecht ausgestattet .es fehlen Töpfe und sonstige Küchenutensilien. An der Wand im Schlafzimmer war ein großer Schimmelfleck circa 50 × 80 cm groß. Den Schimmel mussten wir mit dem Staubsauger weg saugen.
nice apartment ... as shown in the pictures!
nette Wohnung ... genauso wie auf den Bildern gezeigt!
Great apartment, brand new, modern and very clean. Fully equipped, washing machine to dry hair, through the vacuum cleaner and towels. A little bit away in a quiet environment away from the lively but only 5 minutes walk from St Mark's Square and Rialto 10.
Super appartement, tout neuf, moderne et très propre.
Parfaitement équipé, de la machine à laver au sèche cheveux, en passant par l'aspirateur et les serviettes de toilette.
Un peu peu à l'écart dans une impasse au calme des quartiers animés mais seulement à 5 minutes à pied de la place St Marc et 10 du Rialto.

Billionaire Warren Buffett, always popular among Democratic redistributionists, says he wants a "minimum tax" on the very rich.
Never mind that we already have one, and that what he proposes would hurt both the economy and the middle class.
The third richest man on Earth has endeared himself to the far left by calling for punitive taxes on those with wealth.
Writing in the New York Times, he has proposed a minimum tax of 30% on incomes of $1 million to $10 million and 35% on incomes above that. Hey, these people are rich — so who cares?
Well, you should. Because Buffett's proposed tax hike is just another way of removing investment capital — the engine of economic growth — from the U.S. economy. It would also do next to nothing to close our long-term budget deficits, now running at $1 trillion plus a year.
Last year, according to the Treasury Department, the U.S. deficit was $1.1 trillion. According to a study by Congress' Joint Committee on Taxation, a Buffett-style 30% tax on all millionaires would generate just $5 billion.
That's less than one-half of one percent of our budget. In short, Buffett's proposal is a fiscal joke.
Buffett and others have said tax hikes on the rich are "fair." The top 1% earn about 16% of all income in the U.S. But they pay 37% of all the federal income taxes. Is that fair? If so, would making millionaires pay even more be fairer still?
Consider this: The 400 richest Americans pay about as much in taxes as the bottom 50% — about 72 million Americans — do.
As a group, millionaires have an effective income-tax rate — that is, what they actually pay — of 24%. For the rest of us, it's 11%.
As for Buffett's idea for a "minimum" tax on the rich, the U.S. already has one. It's called the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).
It was put in place in 1969, after it was revealed that 155 people with incomes over $200,000 had paid zero in income taxes in 1967. It was meant to catch a handful of rich folks who were not paying their "fair share."
Well, next year, thanks to bracket creep, the AMT will snare as many as 20 million middle-class Americans. Is that fair?
No, but that's how "tax the rich" works. Raise taxes on the rich first, then extend them to everyone else later, including the middle class.
This has been tried before. As economist Alan Reynolds of the American Enterprise Institute pointed out in IBD, the 1990 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act raised taxes on the rich to make things more "fair" and to boost revenues to reduce the deficit.
How did that work out?
In 1989, tax revenues as a share of GDP totaled about 8.3%. By 1992, after the tax hikes kicked in, they dropped to 7.6%.
Similar foolish experiments in raising taxes on the rich were tried in 1932 and in 1937. Both times, tax revenues plunged as the economy tanked.
You'd think such clear lessons would be heeded. But they're not.
In his proposal, Buffett jokes, "Let's forget about the rich and ultrarich going on strike and stuffing their ample funds under their mattresses if — gasp — capital gains rates and ordinary income rates are increased."
Really? History conclusively shows Buffett is wrong. But never let facts get between a rich man and his opinions.
In 1986, as part of that year's tax reform, capital gains taxes were raised sharply.
In that year, before the rate hike went into effect, total capital gains hit a then-record high of $327.7 billion. But four years later, after the higher rates hit, capital gains realizations had plunged 62%, to $123.8 billion.
In contrast, as part of a budget deal in 1996, Republicans got President Clinton to accept an eight-percentage point cut in capital gains tax rates.
That year, total capital gains in the U.S. stood at about $260.7 billion. By 2000, after lower rates took hold, cap-gains income surged 147% to $644.3 billion.
This isn't just a numbers game.
Every dollar in capital gains lost to the economy is a loss for business investment, productivity and worker income.
And since more than half of all Americans have 401(k)s or some other retirement vehicle that depends on capital gains, it's a loss for them as well.
"An economy constrained by high tax rates will never produce enough revenue to balance the budget, just as it will never create enough jobs or profits."
So what crazed supply-sider did the GOP get to say that? Whoever he is, he's clearly way out of step with today's Democrats, and probably a member of the far right. Right?
Well, actually, it was JFK, a Democratic president, who said it, uttering what most people seemed to understand then but don't today — raise taxes, but only at your own economic peril.

That was in the upper right hand corner for the pink mini Ipad case.
Very obscene & offensive to write anything like that. I contacted Woot & have heard nothing back. I challenged them to make it right & donate a sizable donation to breast cancer research. Have not heard anything yet.
I'd like to apologize for the snippet and that it upset you. I can see where it would be considered insensitive, especially as we are in the middle of Breast Cancer Awareness month.
I forwarded on your initial post yesterday and have done so again today.
Again, please accept my apologies.
I accept your apology & I still have yet to hear from Woot itself. It was a very offensive snippet to write & in bad taste. Woot should at least donate to breast cancer research & maybe make Woot pink for a day. Again, thank you for the apology.

Match Report
06:49 17th July 2013
Three first-half goals from star men Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge and Steven Gerrard gave Liverpool an impressive 3-1 victory against Palace as they returned to the top of the Barclays Premier League.
The Reds gave the Eagles a Premier League masterclass during the first-half at Anfield and looked unplayable at times, but a bright second 45 from Ian Holloway's men will give them plenty of encouragement, with Dwight Gayle's header the brightest point of the day for the travelling contingent from south London.
Palace began brightly and could have scored early on when Jimmy Kebe, Marouane Chamakh and Jason Puncheon linked up in the final third, but the wide man's cross was slightly too high for Cameron Jerome who couldn't quite divert his header goalwards.
Playing against the side where he made his name, Victor Moses nearly converted a Jose Enrique cross which just eluded the Palace academy graduate, but three minutes later he played a big role in the opening goal of the game on 13 minutes.
After picking the ball up from Raheem Sterling, Moses cut inside and dribbled across the box before finding Suarez, who played in the overlapping Enrique. The Spaniard returned the ball to the striker who slipped over but still managed to prod the ball into the bottom corner to mark his Anfield return with a goal.
The sharpness of the Reds' passing moves was causing the Eagles plenty of problems and Sturridge forced Julian Speroni into a diving save after cutting inside from the right, but the red-hot striker added his side's second four minutes after their first. Sprinting down the left, he turned Damien Delaney inside out before rifling the ball into the bottom corner from a tight angle.
Holloway's side nearly pulled one back when Kebe raced into the area and stroked the ball past Simon Mignolet but Kolo Toure cleared the ball away from danger, and seconds later the winger came closer when he deflected a wayward Jerome strike back towards goal, only to be thwarted by a splendid save by the Liverpool keeper with Puncheon blazing over the rebound.
But nine minutes before half-time the Eagles were the victims of another harsh penalty award. Sterling played a one-two with Suarez who lofted the ball back into his path, and whilst trying to latch onto the return the England man was tripped by Dean Moxey outside the area. However the linesman flagged for a penalty, and Gerrard sent Speroni the wrong way.
It was nearly 4-0 at the break when Suarez again attacked down the left flank and centred for an unmarked Moses, but despite being just a couple of yards out he let it hit his body and it flicked off the bar and away from danger, and Speroni pushed away another attempt from the Uruguayan striker in injury time as a miserable 45 minutes for the visitors came to a close.
A combination of substitutions, a change of shape and the Reds taking their foot off the gas after the restart meant that Speroni was rarely troubled during the second half, and substitute Gayle saw a shot fizz over the bar when he latched onto a erroneous pass by Enrique.
But the striker netted his second goal of the season on 76 minutes when Jose Campana clipped a free-kick into the area and Gayle made a nice run away from the defence before flicking the ball past Mignolet.
Sturridge came close to adding his second of the game when he was picked out by Suarez in the area but saw his first-time effort hit the post and ricochet back across the goalmouth which Palace scrambled away, but ultimately it was just to be the three for the home side as their impressive start to the season continues.
Mignolet, Toure, Skrtel, Sakho (Agger 67), Enrique, Henderson, Gerrard, Moses (Alberto 67), Stirling, Sturridge (Aspas 88), Suarez.
Unused subs:
Jones, Ilori, Wisdom, Ibe.

The Humboldt Bay Maritime is proud to announce it's first Historic Boat Day Saturday, March 15, at Zerlang & Zerlang Marine Services boatyard on the shore of Humboldt Bay in Finnetown.
This event is a team fundraising effort to generate funds for two worthy vessel restorations; the maritime museums newest acquisition, the 1917 fishing vessel Stephanie and the Golden Rule Project's restoration of their sailing vessel and the first peace boat that encouraged the Greenpeace movement, the Golden Rule. It is a celebration and sharing of maritime history, giving guests a look at traditional boat restoration, woodworking and behind the scenes aspect of a working boat yard.
The afternoon's events will include a vintage boat show of numerous small skiffs, scull boats and powerboats that have not been in the public eye for a number of years. The maritime museums historic harbor cruise vessel Madaket will be hauled out on the marine railways at the boat yard for its annual inspections; guests will be able to see the vessel completely out of the water with her hull (underbelly), rudder and propeller exposed in the salt air.
A forge will be operating making brass belaying pins that will be offered for sale. Guests will also experience the marine railway in operation as a vessel is taken out of the water and pulled up onto land. The museum's 1917 retired fishing vessel, Stephanie, will be the vessel hauled up to make her debut and join in with the historic boat day festivities. The F/V Stephanie commercially fished until 2003 out of Humboldt Bay. Since then the vessel had been abandoned and in 2012 the maritime museum began a grassroots restoration project of the vessel.
Barbecued oysters and corned beef and cabbage are included in the admission fee of $30 per person, $20 for seniors and juniors, and $15 for children 6-12.
In addition to the plentiful food there will be silent and live auctions along with a two bands playing throughout the event, Kingfoot and Kindred Spirits. The Zerlang & Zerlang Marine Services boatyard is located at 1493 Fay St., Finnetown (across from Eureka and just south of Samoa on the North Spit of Humboldt Bay).
For information and tickets go online at humboldtbaymaritimemuseum.com, or call 707-440-9380 for other arrangements or questions. The Humboldt Bay Maritime Museum is not for profit organization formed in 1977 dedicated to preserving, protecting and promoting North Coast maritime history.

US Says 6 Powers Accept Iran's Offer To Talk
US says 6 powers accept Iran's offer to talk
By Robert Burns, Associated Press | Washington Post
The United States and five partner countries have accepted Iran's new offer to hold talks, even though Iran insists it will not negotiate over its disputed nuclear program, the State Department said Friday.
Department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters that although Iran's proposal for international talks - presented to the six powers on Wednesday - was disappointing for sidestepping the nuclear issue, it represented a chance to begin a direct dialogue.
"We are seeking a meeting now based on the Iranian paper to see what Iran is prepared to do," Crowley said. "And then, as the president has said, you know, if Iran responds to our interest in a meeting, we'll see when that can occur. We hope that will occur as soon as possible."
In its proposal, Iran ignored a demand by the six world powers - the U.S., Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany - for a freeze of its uranium enrichment, which is suspected of leading to production of a nuclear weapon. Iran insists that its nuclear work is strictly for peaceful non-military purposes.
Iran pronounced itself ready to "embark on comprehensive, all-encompassing and constructive negotiations." Read more.

DFW's royal wedding is Saturday night. What, your invitation got lost in the mail, too?
Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo and former local TV personality Candice Crawford will tie the knot on Saturday night at the historic Arlington Hall at Lee Park in uptown Dallas. You may remember Candice from her reports on sports and nightlife on Channel 33. Or perhaps you remember her as one of the shining stars in DFW.com's 2010 Hot Issue. She is also a former Miss Missouri and an all-around sweetheart.
Word is that wedding planners had to add a larger tent, to fit in all those football players (and Jerry Jones ego). Candice's brother, Chace Crawford of Gossip Girl fame, will be there too, which means you can expect to find a cadre of paparrazi hiding in the bushes.
Dallas celebrity party planner Todd Fiscus will be calling the signals (with Romo only offering his opinion on music choices, what a man's man!). Fiscus planned Giants quarterback Eli Manning's wedding a few years ago, so he should be fully prepared to keep the plates filled with enough food to feed hungry offensive lineman.
The couple is registered at Macy's and Crate & Barrel, just in case you want to send them a gift. And the most expensive item is a $550 vacuum cleaner.

I used this piece as a pendant on a white seed pearl necklace and it's just perfect - for everyday or special occasion wear. I purchased the same style but in 11mm size and am looking forward to making another seed pear necklace with 2mm peacock seed pearls this time - I'll use 3mm white accent beads wherever the mood srikes and am hoping that the dramatic difference between the white and peacock colors will create a unique 16" necklace.

A website to help you find love in Delhi Metro
24-year-old management student starts portal that will help commuters in the national capital find love.
New Delhi: Love takes you places. So does the Delhi Metro. This Valentine's Day, the Metro will make you travel on a romantic route - courtesy www.metromates.in, a new portal that will help metro travelers meet, greet and have fun with fellow travelers.
"Everyday, I spend almost three hours in the metro, and it isn't that entertaining. I see the same faces everyday but never muster the courage to talk to them. I think this portal will help me kill the boredom of the otherwise boring metro," says Mayank Chouhan, a visual merchandiser who travels everyday from Rajiv Chowk to Noida City Centre.
Not just casual
It's not one of those casually done portals, which is limited to signing up and searching partners on the basis of some weird keywords that solve no purpose.
Here, while signing up, they ask for details like the route you take, the time you board and alight, whether you're straight or gay, your personality traits, height and waist size, and whether you want to sign up for dating or just friendship.
"We launched our portal in January. Since then 700 users have registered with us, and 5000 people have liked our community on Facebook. Apart from dating and friendship, people who want to find their travel partners can also use our portal," says Sameer Suri, a 24-year-old management student at the New Delhi Institute of Management.
Technically yours
What's more amazing is the smart use of technology. Once you sign up you're given a Bluetooth code, which is unique to every user. While traveling you'll have to turn on your Bluetooth, set your phone's name to
metromates.in/yourusername and turn the visibility to 'on'. Once you do that the other Metromates users will be visible on your phone.
To view their profile, you'll have to note down their profile name, type metromates.in/TheirProfileName in the browser of your GPRS enabled phone, connect with them and you can send and receive Bluetooth messages. The portal suggests its users to travel in the last compartment for best results.
"I've used it, and it's pretty amazing. But once more and more people become its member, we'll have more options," says another user Amit Sen, a Delhi University student who has been using this service for the last one week.
5000 people already like Metromates community on Facebook, while 700 Delhiites have already registered.

I love both names! But with Sophie and Violet, I choose the classic James.
Or how about James Patrick, nn Jack?

Another one here for James! Classy and classic. I think Jack is cute but its trendy now. I picture Jack on little ones and old men, i don't know any in between. My brother is a James, always went by Jamie growing up, i didn't even realize his name was James and took me a while to adapt to it when he started going by James in the professional world. Very versatile name in terms of using full or nn.
Now I adore this name and will be using it on my own child one day hopefully!

I much prefer Jack personally--I love its laid-back feel and how Jack could really be anybody. That being said, I like James much more with Sophie and Violet. It has a more classy, posh sort of feel to it (in a good way!) that goes really well with Sophie and Violet. It's a bit more button-up.
Although, Jack has been used with some regularity as a nn for James--maybe you could opt for James nn Jack? That way he'd keep both his favorites, but I don't know if that interests either of you...Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller

VirtualDub is a video capture / processing utility for 32-bit Windows platforms, licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It lacks the editing power of a general-purpose editor such as Adobe Premiere, but is streamlined for fast linear operations over video. It has batch-processing capabilities for processing large numbers of files and can be extended with third-party video filters. It is mainly geared toward processing AVI files, although it can read MPEG-1 and also handle sets of BMP images.

A big Thanx to the contributors.
Reviewing 220.127.116.11807 Experimental (Jun 4, 2012)
Excellent program, thank you!
Reviewing 1.10.1 Test 14 (Jan 10, 2012)
Since there is no review for this program in last 2 years, I thought I should write a thing or two about it.
1st: This is all you need for transcribing and encoding your videos.
2nd: you can put it and run it from wherever you want. No installation needed. No registry entries. It's simple to learn and work with it.
I use it for about a decade now, and all I can say is - that thing is one of the first things I install, or rather "install" on my computer. Fast as hell. GUI is native to windows, no artificial hardware bull, and that contributes to its speed, too. One of the most useful programs in Windows ever, beside CCleaner, Defraggler, XNView and Firefox.
This man deserves a medal! :) [and FCChandler too, for making all the wonderful plugins for it]
Cheers! Thank you so much for making such a great program for linear editing and encoding!

It has to be said that now is not a particularly great time to buy a Blu-ray player. First, it's only a couple of weeks since Paramount and DreamWorks shocked the world by announcing that they would exclusively be releasing their movies on HD DVD, not Blu-ray. And second, from October 31st this year all Blu-ray players released must meet a new specification standard dubbed Profile 1.1 that adds Java-based picture-in-picture video playback as a requirement. This is fine, except for the small matter of the fact that we're only in September. And so there's no pressure on even new Blu-ray players like Pioneer's BDP-LX70 to meet with the Profile 1.1 requirements.
But then maybe Pioneer has been thinking ahead with the LX70, and has slipped the Profile 1.1 requirements in there early? Sadly not. For even though at over £800 it clearly reckons itself a premium bit of kit, the LX70 definitely does not meet Profile 1.1 standards - and nor can it have its firmware upgraded to meet those standards some time in the future. So if you put in a Blu-ray disc that's got certain Java-based features on it, this deck will not be able to play them. Er, oh…
We guess we can find it in ourselves to have a little sympathy for Pioneer's position on this. After all, it takes months for a product to go from first planning to actual sale, and the Profile 1.1 requirements stipulated by the Blu-ray group only arrived relatively late in the day. But from a punter's point of view there already seems to be a compelling argument in favour of not buying the LX70 and instead waiting for the first of the 'new breed' of Blu-ray decks later this year.
Tragically this already negative atmosphere is merely enhanced by the discovery that the LX70's HDMI output is only a v1.2 affair. This means it's not compatible with such HDMI 1.3 tricks as the 'Deep Colour' extended colour palette, automatic lip-synching, and the carriage of full digital surround sound audio tracks. This is a really troubling omission on an £800-plus player when you think that HDMI 1.3 is found on the £450 PS3, Sony's new £700 BDP-S1E (which we'll be reviewing soon) and Toshiba's £500 HD-XE1 HD DVD player.
Yet more disappointment comes with the realisation that the LX70 doesn't support any way of outputting 'next gen' HD audio formats - disappointment which only grows when the press release Pioneer has put together on the LX70 helpfully informs you that a Pioneer player with an HD Audio bit-stream output will be appearing 'in the near future'. In other words, the press release itself seems to be suggesting that you wait for something better rather than diving into Blu-ray waters with the LX70.

In December 1966, I was a 23-year-old college graduate, with a newborn son and an Israeli artist husband who was new to this country and unemployed. We had moved to Los Angeles seeking work, but nothing had materialized. Our money was gone, and we had exhausted all other resources. With rent due, we entered the welfare office in West L.A. in desperation and qualified for assistance. This was soon after the Watts Riots, and the L.A. County Department of Public Social Services was training college graduates to be social workers. I applied and within 3 months was assigned a caseload of 60 "welfare mothers" in South Central L.A. Within a year, I was transferred to the downtown/Skid Row area, to work with the chronically mentally ill, who were then being released into the community by the hundreds, as state mental hospitals were being closed. My then husband soon found full time work himself, and our nightmare was over…
I was a college graduate from a middle class background –- yet over a relatively short period of time life circumstances, naiveté, and some poor decisions had caused my life to fall apart. I have never forgotten what I felt as that had happened –- and I never will. If things could go so wrong for me, then how much more wrong can they go for those who did not have the opportunities and education that I had? My life work eventually was directed by those feelings — and I believe has benefited from an empathy that has pervaded everything I have done since.
I quit L.A. County in 1971, but these early experiences would impact greatly on my work later on. Divorced and then remarried, the next few years were relatively quiet, as I gave birth to two daughters in addition to my son. There was deep within me during this time, however, a feeling that there was something that I was supposed to do -– but I did not yet know what it was. And then, in early 1980, the past joined together with the present –- to take me into the future.
One morning, an article appeared in the L.A. Times, describing hundreds of children of all ages living in the decaying, transient hotels of L.A.'s Skid Row. Within two months, a woman possessed, I created a nonprofit agency, Para los Niños (For the Children). One year later, we opened our doors with a childcare center for 90 children pulled from those hotels. And that was just the beginning. Today the agency operates charter schools and a full array of family social services in Central and South Los Angeles and San Bernardino County.
In 1983, while still with Para Los Niños, I began to realize that to help children, I needed to help the parents who were raising them. At this point, I co-founded another nonprofit agency, L.A. Family Housing, to develop affordable housing for families through new construction. In 1985, we began developing emergency shelters. That same year, my second husband died of cancer.
Compelled to continue in the direction I was going, in 1988, I began two new nonprofit agencies as an evolution of my earlier work in the field. A Community of Friends was formed to develop affordable housing for the chronically mentally ill homeless and has long been run by others. A few months later, I founded Beyond Shelter and introduced a new approach to ending family homelessness: Housing First. Based firmly on the human right to housing, the Housing First approach (also called rapid re-housing) helps homeless families leave shelters and move back into affordable housing as quickly as possible. Once in permanent housing, case managers provide support to help families rebuild their lives. More than 5,000 homeless families, mostly single mothers of color, have participated in the program in L.A., referred by emergency shelters, transitional housing, domestic violence programs, halfway houses, and drug treatment centers. In 2009, based on this innovation that has now transformed both public policy and practice on a national scale, I was elected a Senior Fellow at Ashoka, the global association of the world's leading social entrepreneurs.
In 1993, desperate for something to change, I became political for the first time. Besides serving as a surrogate speaker in L.A. for then-Governor Bill Clinton, I also coordinated a Roundtable on Housing and Homelessness for the Clinton Transition Team in Little Rock, Arkansas. I began traveling to Washington DC on a regular basis, working closely with national advocacy groups that I still work with to this day.
On May 1, 2011, I left Beyond Shelter after 23 years to launch my 5th nonprofit organization, Partnering for Change: The National Institute for Innovative Strategies to Combat Family Homelessness and Poverty. An evolution of Beyond Shelter's Institute for Research, Training & Technical Assistance, this new effort will enable me to work with valued colleagues from throughout the country whose work is compatible with mine.
Although the following advice has obvious roots in my own life's work, I am honored to be asked to share my thoughts and hope that they are helpful:
No one does it alone. Although I have been the "visionary leader" in many projects, I have never done it alone. Over the years, I have attracted some of the best younger minds in the field by offering them their "dream job" and then letting them create a position that meets my needs while also meeting theirs. These people have contributed greatly to our mutual efforts – and all have gone on to do great things.
Being innovative may not be the best way to make new friends. People become angry when you challenge the way things are. It is in our nature to resist new ideas. You must therefore be strong, believe in yourself, keep doing what is right, and learn to ignore unwarranted or mean-spirited criticism.
Always remember that "there but for the grace of God go I." I learned long ago that it's truly an accident of birth that puts one child in Skid Row and another in Beverly Hills. To be fully engaged in the world, I think that this advice is particularly valuable today when class, culture, and geography keep people divided and apart.
Never judge. I believe that we should rarely judge another's actions. An abused child grows up to be an abusive mother, still hurting deep inside. A delinquent teenager becomes a hardened criminal, wasting a life in prison. Inside each is a child whom we abandoned years before, a child that we ignored. We can do better -– and we must. Reach out and care. The soft touch of a hand, a connection with the eyes, can make a difference, even if only for a moment.
You can help change the world. I believe that most people in our world live heroic lives merely trying to survive for one more day. That is why I feel so strongly that those of us who can make things better must do so. Because there are so many ways to help, this does not have to become one's life work. Every action counts.
